Summary

Splits failproofai into two binaries shipped from the same npm package:
the existing failproofai CLI (unchanged entrypoint for every hook config
across all 11 supported agent CLIs) and a new failproofaid, a persistent
Rust daemon that keeps policy evaluation warm instead of paying a full
cold-start cost (bundle parse, custom-policy temp-file dance, config reads)
on every single hook call.

Landing in stages on this one branch/PR, per the approved plan
(/home/legion/.claude/plans/we-want-to-change-foamy-raven.md in the
originating session):

  • Stage 1 — empty Cargo workspace + gated rust-quality CI job,
    green before any daemon code exists. Also fixes a pre-existing bug
    where the bun cache key (hashFiles('bun.lockb')) never matched
    anything since this repo tracks bun.lock.
  • Stage 2failproofaid skeleton: Unix-socket server
    (~/.failproofai/run/failproofaid.sock, 0600 inside a 0700
    dir), length-prefixed JSON framing, SO_PEERCRED/getpeereid peer
    verification, a flock-based singleton guard, graceful SIGTERM
    shutdown. crates/PROTOCOL.md documents the wire contract.
  • Stage 3 — the full daemon-aware hook path end to end: a warm
    Node/Bun worker the daemon spawns and supervises, a TS thin client
    (daemon-client.ts) with a ~150ms connect+roundtrip budget, and a
    fail-closed path for daemon-configured machines that reuses the
    real per-CLI response shaping (not a hand-rolled generic denial).
    Currently inert on every machine — gated behind a
    daemonConfigured marker nothing sets until Stage 4.
  • Stage 4failproofai config installs/starts the daemon
    (systemd --user / launchd) and writes the marker. No separate
    failproofai daemon install command, per explicit product
    direction during planning.
  • Stage 5 — binary distribution (per-platform binaries as
    GitHub Release assets, SHA-256 verified and downloaded by
    failproofai config — see the update below), CI cross-compile
    matrix, expanded Docker clean-install test.
  • Stage 6 — docs, CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md updates.

Key design points

  • Fail-closed once configured, not opt-in-forever fail-open. Once a
    machine has been daemon-configured (Stage 4), an unreachable daemon
    denies the tool call rather than silently falling back to full
    in-process evaluation — a loud, correctly-shaped deny instead of a
    silent enforcement gap. A machine that's never been daemon-configured
    (or is on Windows, out of scope for now) is completely unaffected: no
    socket attempt, byte-for-byte the same behavior as today.
  • Zero changes to any of the 11 CLIs' installed hook commands.
    failproofai stays the single entrypoint every hook config invokes;
    daemon-awareness is entirely internal to it.
  • The daemon carries no policy logic. It's a thin Rust supervisor
    (socket + process lifecycle) that relays to a warm worker running the
    existing, unmodified TypeScript evaluation engine.

Review round 1 — 11 findings fixed (d9b8eb3)

CodeRabbit's review surfaced four bugs that each silently defeat enforcement,
plus seven smaller ones. Each fix landed with a regression test that fails
against the old code.

Enforcement-breaking:

  • macOS was broken outright.run_until puts the listener in non-blocking
    mode; Linux discards that on accept (accept4) but BSD-derived kernels
    inherit it. So on macOS read_message returned WouldBlock before the
    client's bytes landed, handle_connection read that as a malformed frame and
    answered with silence, and every hook call on macOS — a platform this PR ships
    launchd support for — fell through to the fail-closed deny.
  • Worker restart never worked. A Unix socket file outlives the process that
    bound it, so socket_path.exists() saw the dead worker's leftover file the
    instant a new one spawned and handed call() a socket nothing was listening
    on. Readiness is now a real connect(); the stale path is cleared before
    spawn; Drop cleans up after itself. Both new tests fail on the old code with
    ECONNREFUSED.
  • daemonConfigured tracked the service manager, not a daemon. Granted the
    moment systemctl enable --now exited 0 — which a daemon that dies at startup
    also does — and never revoked on uninstall. Since the CLI fails closed on that
    flag, either end of the lifecycle left the machine denying every hook event
    across all 11 CLIs. Install now waits for the service to reach and hold a
    running state (a Type=simple unit reports active the moment it forks, so one
    reading waves through exactly the crash-at-startup case); uninstall clears the
    marker first and unconditionally.
  • A 150 ms budget covered policy evaluation. On a daemon-configured machine a
    client timeout is a deny, not a fallback — and that budget had to cover the
    whole roundtrip, which handler.ts allows 10 s per custom policy and
    worker-server.ts serializes. Split into a 150 ms connect probe (a dead
    daemon still fails fast) and a 30 s response budget matching worker.rs's
    own read timeout.

Also fixed:process.exit() discarding unflushed stdout on the --hook path
(measured: 2 MB written, 146 KB delivered — it truncates the decision payload the
CLI parses); the worker's piped stdout/stderr never being drained (a chatty custom
policy fills the pipe buffer and blocks the worker mid-write); worker-server.ts
decoding only one frame per data event; connections having no read/write
deadline and no cap; unbounded systemctl/launchctl calls hanging the wizard;
daemon-install telemetry sending an errno string containing a homedir()-derived
path (i.e. the OS username); and an e2e harness that orphaned a live daemon on any
assertion panic.

CI:darwin-x64 used the retired macos-13 label — an unknown label doesn't
fail, it just never gets a runner, which is why that leg sat pending from the
moment this PR opened. Now macos-15-intel. The release-artifact job also shared
a writable cargo cache between pull_request and release triggers (restore-only
on PRs now, save on release/dispatch), and the two checkouts that compile
third-party crates set persist-credentials: false.

Round 2 (88ee006): the release build now passes --locked, so the binary users install comes from the committed Cargo.lock rather than whatever Cargo
resolves in the runner.

Socket: the one alert is cargo/zerocopy@0.8.55 flagged as likely obfuscated.
It reaches us only through proptest, a dev-dependency of crates/fpai-ipc, and
is absent from cargo tree -p failproofaid -e normal — nothing published contains
it. Ignored with justification in a PR comment.

Testing

  • 29 Rust tests (cargo test --workspace), including a live end-to-end
    test that spawns the real compiled failproofaid binary, which spawns
    the real bun-run TS worker, which runs a real block-sudo policy
    evaluation — not mocked at any layer.
  • daemon-client.ts/worker-server.ts tested against real
    net.Server/Unix sockets, not mocks, per the plan's verification
    section.
  • Full existing TS suite green (bun run lint, tsc --noEmit,
    bun run test:run) with zero regressions — handleHookEvent's public
    contract is byte-for-byte unchanged, so the existing 1300+ line
    handler.test.ts suite needed no edits.
  • A live process-leak bug surfaced during this work (an orphaned worker
    subprocess when sh -c "bun ..." forked rather than exec'd) and was
    fixed with process groups + piped stdio; see the Stage 3 commit message
    for the full story.

Update — the daemon now ships from GitHub Releases, not npm platform packages

Stage 5 originally shipped four @failproofai/failproofaid-<os>-<arch>
packages, declared as optionalDependencies and pinned to the root version.
Nothing ever published them.build-daemon.yml only uploaded the binaries
as Actions artifacts, and this branch never touched publish.yml at all — so
all four names 404 on npm today, and a released CLI would have resolved a
daemon that does not exist. #634 fixes the pipeline; this branch removes the
channel it would have had to publish, because the release assets have to exist
regardless for anyone installing failproofaid on its own, and a second channel
is a second thing to keep in step with the first.

How it works now.src/hooks/daemon-download.ts fetches
failproofaid-<os>-<arch>.gz from the release tagged with this CLI's own
version, verifies it against the published SHA256SUMSbefore decompressing,
and installs it to ~/.failproofai/bin/failproofaid-<version> by atomic rename,
mode 0755.

  • The URL is constructed from package.json's version, never discovered —
    no API call, no rate limit, no releases/latest redirect, and no way to run a
    daemon built from different source than the CLI talking to it.
  • The versioned filename is what stops an upgrade overwriting a running
    binary (ETXTBSY) or silently repointing a live service unit.
  • A bad checksum, a missing manifest entry and a failed fetch are refusals,
    not warnings — what this writes is an executable a service manager runs at
    login.
  • Only the install path downloads. resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath() stays a
    pure disk check, so the hook path can never block on the network.
  • FAILPROOFAI_NO_DOWNLOAD=1 opts an air-gapped machine out (an
    already-installed binary keeps working); FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_BASE_URL points
    at an internal mirror, and at a local HTTP server in the tests.

build-daemon.yml now gzips each binary and uploads that — which also makes
upload-artifact dropping the executable bit a non-issue — and matches #634's
copy so the rebase onto main is a no-op.

Verified: 13 new download tests against a real local HTTP server (checksum
mismatch, manifest with no entry, 404, disabled-downloads opt-out, atomic
install, mode 0755); daemon-service resolution tests now run against a scratch
HOME; a clean npm pack + container run confirms the shim reports the config
hint with nothing installed and execs an overridden binary; all four
cross-compile legs green.


Update — OSV-Scanner green (brace-expansion 5.0.8 → 5.0.9)

The Supply Chain gate was failing: brace-expansion@5.0.8 is affected by
GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895 (high, CVSS 7.5) — a
DoS via unbounded intermediate arrays that bypasses the CVE-2026-14257
mitigation — fixed in 5.0.9 on the 4.x/5.x line. OSV-Scanner blocks on any
finding, so the check went red the moment the advisory published.

The finding isn't introduced by this branch (main resolves the same 5.0.8),
but it blocks this PR, and osv-scanner.toml states the preference plainly:
fix (bump, or pin via overrides) rather than allow-list. The pin already
existed, so this is a one-line bump of that override. Because overrides
applies tree-wide it covers every consumer at once — minimatch@10 under
eslint/next, plus the ^1.1.7 requests from the older eslint-plugin-*
minimatches — and brace-expansion is the only entry the resolved lockfile
moves (2-line bun.lock diff).

Verified by replaying the CI scan's own inputs: batch-querying api.osv.dev
with every package bun.lock resolves reproduces the exact CI failure against
the pre-fix lockfile (1 finding, brace-expansion@5.0.8
GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895) and reports 0 findings across all 644 packages after.
bun run lint, tsc --noEmit and the unit suite are unchanged.

Also merged main in (a skills submodule bump) so the branch contains every
commit on main before pushing — merged rather than rebased, since rewriting 61
published commits to absorb a one-line submodule pointer costs more than it buys.

Update — the daemon binary now ships through npm too (dcf13d7)

Stage 5 shipped one channel: a fetch from the GitHub Release at
failproofai config time. That leaves a proxy, an air-gapped box or a
rate-limited runner with a CLI and no daemon, and gives no way to install the
CLI itself without the npm registry. Both are closed here, without removing
the release assets — they stay the standalone channel.

npm platform packages. The four binaries publish as
@failproofai/failproofaid-<os>-<arch> with the os and cpu fields set,
pinned as optionalDependencies of the root package, so npm install failproofai already brought down the one matching the machine.
ensureFailproofaidBinary() copies it in before it considers the download — no
network, so FAILPROOFAI_NO_DOWNLOAD=1 deliberately does not gate it (that
flag exists so an air-gapped machine does not reach out, and on exactly those
machines npm is the only channel that can supply a daemon).

Both channels land the binary at the same versioned path under the user's
.failproofai bin directory through one installBinaryBytes()
ExecStart never points into node_modules, because npm i -g failproofai@next would swap the binary under a running service and an
uninstall would delete it out from under an enabled unit that then crash-loops
at every boot.

The first attempt at this is what shapes the second. The pins shipped once
before with nothing published behind them, so every install resolved four 404s
(removed in 1.0.0-beta.3). So scripts/build-daemon-packages.mjs publishes the
four packages before the root package that pins them, fails the release
rather than warning when one cannot be published, and writes the pins in the
same invocation that publishes them — injected at publish time, never
committed, so a pin cannot name a version that was not published and this
repo's own bun install --frozen-lockfile keeps working. Both orderings are
asserted in __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts.

The CLI tarball is a release asset now.failproofai-<version>.tgz, packed
by a new cli-tarball job at the version being published and covered by the
same SHA256SUMS, so the CLI installs with no registry at all. Not gated on
has_daemon, and its failure blocks the npm publish since it runs the same
build.

The 14 typo-squat alias stubs pin the same four packages.

Verification. Unit + e2e green. npm publish --dry-run for all four
platform packages against the real v1.0.0-beta.3 artifacts, with the packed
tarball confirmed to preserve -rwxr-xr-x on the binary. End to end in a
systemd container: the npm-installed binary copied into place with downloads
disabled and the base URL pointed at a dead port, the service installed from
it, and the daemon still answering socket pings and live hook events after a
reboot.

Prerequisite before the first release that carries this: the @failproofai
npm scope must exist and NPM_TOKEN must own it. Nothing is published under it
today. If it is missing, the platform publish fails the job and nothing is
published at all — deliberately, since a root package pinning names that do not
resolve is the failure this replaces.

Two follow-ups the dry run and a second read caught (4bcc2f6, ec75874)

  • A platform package from a different CLI version is now ignored. npm pins
    the exact version, but a workspace holding two failproofai versions can
    hoist the other one's platform package to the top of the tree — and
    installing that binary under this version's filename would put a daemon
    built from different source behind a CLI that believes it matches. The
    candidate's manifest version is checked before its binary is used; a
    mismatch falls through to the download, whose URL is pinned to this version.
  • The daemon binaries were leaking into the published CLI tarball. Caught
    by the first pipeline dry run, not by reasoning: npm publish re-runs
    prepare, so the Next build happens again after the platform-package step,
    and Next's tracing sweeps the whole project root into .next/standalone
    (scripts/prune-standalone.mjs already calls this out as "over-traced
    project artifacts"). Downloading the build matrix's output into the
    workspace therefore shipped 16 MB of daemon .gz assets inside the
    failproofai package — every platform's binary, in the one package that
    deliberately carries none. The publish job now downloads into RUNNER_TEMP,
    the platform packages stage in the temp dir rather than the checkout, and
    both names joined the standalone prune list so a local npm pack cannot
    reintroduce it. Both are asserted in __tests__/ci.

The publish pipeline can no longer strand orphan platform packages (0681e79)

A workflow_dispatch of this branch at 1.0.0-beta.0 failed (Actions run
30906933501), and the way it failed is the point. A dispatch has no version
input — the publish version is whatever package.json carries, and a feature
branch's is routinely a version that shipped long ago — while the root package
publishes last. So the run went through the full 4-way cross-compile,
attached the release assets, published all four
@failproofai/failproofaid-<os>-<arch> packages, and only then took
E403 You cannot publish over the previously published versions on the root
package. Those four platform packages are now on the registry at 1.0.0-beta.0,
a version whose CLI is published with no optionalDependencies pinning them, and
npm's 72-hour window is the only way to remove them.

  • Preflight now refuses to start when the version is already on the registry
    one npm view, ahead of every other job, so a burned version costs seconds
    instead of a full matrix plus four irreversible publishes. Deliberately ungated
    on dry_run: a dry run that validated a release which cannot happen is not a
    useful dry run. Asserted in __tests__/ci/release-pipeline.test.ts alongside
    the rest of the release wiring.
  • Version bumped to 1.0.0-beta.5 so this branch carries something
    publishable — 1.0.0-beta.0 through .4 are all on npm.
  • Removed this repo's dogfood block-version-bumps policy, which reserved
    package.json version edits for luv-cut-X.Y.Z branches. It blocks the only
    fix for a burned publish version, and the preflight check now catches the drift
    it was guarding against at the point where it actually matters.

For the record, the npm/release-asset split that prompted the dig: failproofai
published at beta.0-beta.4, but the platform packages exist only at beta.0 and
beta.4 — beta.1-beta.3 predate the build-daemon-packages step landing in
publish.yml (dcf13d7), so they shipped with the release .gz assets but no npm
packages and empty pins.

A release now proves it reached users, on every platform (3671a0c)

Two checks after the publish, because "the run went green" has twice not meant
"users got a release".

Registry check (in the publish job). Every published name must resolve at
the publish version, and the published root package's optionalDependencies
must pin that same version. Construction already guarantees lockstep — the root
package, the four platform packages and the aliases all take one
PUBLISH_VERSION — but it cannot cover a partial run, and both halves of
that split have shipped once each: beta.1-3 published the CLI with no platform
packages behind it, and beta.0 published four platform packages whose CLI was
already on the registry without pins to them. Both runs reported success.

Install check (new verify-install job). A real npm install -g from the
registry on a clean runner, then both binaries actually invoked. The CLI must
report the published version; the daemon must resolve the way the CLI resolves
it at runtime
(through the installed package, not by path), be executable, and
report the same version. npm view proves a manifest is queryable — it does not
prove the tarball is fetchable, that the platform filters resolve the right
package on the machine it is meant for, that the executable bit survived the
publish-then-install roundtrip, or that the binary matches the CLI beside it.
Each of those fails while every manifest query still reads as healthy.

It is a matrix rather than one runner because npm installs the one platform
package matching the runner's os and cpu, silently skipping the other three, so
a single leg can only ever verify a quarter of what shipped. Same four legs as
the build matrix, each native to its own target.

Both checks retry immediately, then back off at ten seconds, thirty seconds, one
minute, two minutes — long enough that read-through-cache propagation is not
mistaken for a failed publish, short enough that a genuinely failed one is
reported in the same run rather than hours later by a user.


Absorbed dependency bumps

react 19.2.8, react-dom 19.2.8, @types/react 19.2.18 (commit 4cd9ad0).

These land here rather than as their own PRs. Dependabot opened #652 (react +
@types/react) and #607 (react-dom) as two separate PRs, but React refuses to
render when react and react-dom are not the exact same version, so neither
is green on its own — #652 applied alone fails 15 component test files with
Incompatible React versions. #652 is closed in favour of this commit.

Worker crash-restart cleanup (ed02b92)

A replacement worker now probes an existing worker socket and sends an acknowledged shutdown frame before unlinking it. The old worker passes that request into its normal shutdown path; stale dead sockets are still cleared, while a live incompatible listener blocks startup instead of being orphaned. A real Unix-socket regression test covers replacement of a live worker.

CI follow-up: the repository dogfood .codex/hooks.json fixture remains tracked; an accidental deletion was reverted after its configuration tests correctly caught it.

Two tests assume no @failproofai/failproofaid-<platform> package resolves.resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath tries the per-platform npm package before the dev-build fallback. Another layer of this stack publishes those packages and adds them as optional dependencies of the root package. On a linux-x64 machine where the optional dependency installed, both tests take a path they were written to exclude.

  • __tests__/hooks/daemon-service.test.ts#L77-L84: setArch("x64") with setPlatform("linux") makes @failproofai/failproofaid-linux-x64 resolvable, so resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath() returns the shipped binary and the toBeNull() assertion fails. Force an architecture with no published package, or mock the module resolution.
  • __tests__/hooks/daemon-service.test.ts#L219-L228: with both environment overrides deleted and a resolvable platform package, installDaemonService() succeeds and installs a real systemd user service pointing at the real daemon binary. Isolate the resolution the same way so the test exercises the "no binary" path it names.

The outro can now exceed 80 columns and be hard-truncated.

The comment above this code records the constraint: writeLines truncates with a hard cut and no ellipsis, so an over-long line reads as broken output.

Adding daemonNote pushes the worst case past 80 characters:

Setup complete — 13 policies + your custom policies · 12 assistants · background daemon enabled

That is about 95 characters. daemonNote is the last segment, so it is the part that gets cut, which is exactly the information this change adds. Shorten the note, or move it to its own line.

Report a daemon install failure on the wizard's own output.

reviewLines line 352 tells the user "failproofaid will be installed/started as a background service". When the install fails, the only report is hookLogWarn. That writes to stderr and to the log file, and shouldEmit("warn") can suppress it entirely (src/hooks/hook-logger.ts lines 115-119). The wizard then prints "Setup complete" with no daemon note and no reason.

The user was promised a background service, does not get one, and is given no explanation on the channel they are watching.

Keep the test socket path short enough for the platform limit.

Unix socket paths are limited to about 104 bytes on macOS and 108 on Linux. On macOS tmpdir() returns a long /var/folders/... path. Adding fpai-worker-server-test-<pid>-<timestamp>.sock pushes the total close to that limit and can make this suite fail with ENAMETOOLONG on macOS runners. Use a short basename, for example w-${process.pid}.sock.

Also unlink workerSocketPath in afterEach so repeated runs do not leave socket files in the temporary directory.

Reject an override with an empty parent directory.

Path::parent() returns Some("") for a bare filename such as daemon.sock. The ok_or_else branch therefore never runs for that input. run_dir() then returns an empty path, ensure_run_dir() fails inside fs::create_dir_all("") with an unrelated ENOENT message, and lock_path() plus worker_socket_path() silently resolve against the process working directory.

Treat an empty parent as the same error as a missing parent.

Restore HOME and use RAII cleanup for the env mutations.

This test overwrites HOME for the whole test process and never restores it. run_dir() falls back to HOME whenever FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET is absent, so any later test in this binary that resolves a default path observes /home/example-user. The other tests in this module have the same weakness in the opposite direction: each remove_var runs after the assertions, so a failed assertion leaks FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET into every test that follows.

Add a small guard type that captures the previous values and restores them on drop, including on panic.

💚 Proposed test guard
structEnvGuard{_lock: std::sync::MutexGuard<'static,()>,saved:Vec<(&'staticstr,Option<std::ffi::OsString>)>,}implEnvGuard{fnnew(keys:&[&'staticstr]) -> Self{let _lock = ENV_LOCK.lock().unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner());let saved = keys
.iter().map(|key| (*key, std::env::var_os(key))).collect();Self{ _lock, saved }}fnset(&self,key:&str,value:implAsRef<std::ffi::OsStr>){unsafe{ std::env::set_var(key, value)};}fnunset(&self,key:&str){unsafe{ std::env::remove_var(key)};}}implDropforEnvGuard{fndrop(&mutself){for(key, value)in&self.saved{match value {Some(value) => unsafe{ std::env::set_var(key, value)},None => unsafe{ std::env::remove_var(key)},}}}}

Then each test becomes, for example:

 fn default_socket_path_lives_under_home_dot_failproofai_run() {
- let _guard = ENV_LOCK.lock().unwrap();- unsafe {- std::env::remove_var("FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET");- std::env::set_var("HOME", "/home/example-user");- }+ let env = EnvGuard::new(&["FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET", "HOME"]);+ env.unset("FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET");+ env.set("HOME", "/home/example-user");

The service-path review line has no coverage.

daemonServiceFilePath is mocked to return null for the whole file, so configure-wizard.ts lines 381-382 never take the if (servicePath) branch. The review screen's "failproofaid service" file entry is new user-facing output in this PR, and no test asserts it appears.

Add a case where markDaemonConfigured cannot persist the flag.

markDaemonConfigured returns early when the global config is malformed JSON, and it swallows write errors (src/hooks/configure-wizard.ts lines 280-288). In both cases daemonInstalled still becomes true, so the wizard prints "background daemon enabled" while daemonConfigured was never written. The next hook invocation then takes the in-process path, not the daemon path.

That divergence between the reported state and the persisted state is untested. Write a malformed global config before running the wizard and pin the behavior you want.

The configure_daemon_install telemetry event at lines 621-625 is also unasserted, so neither the installed flag nor the reason payload is covered.

Reject or escape systemd-hostile characters in workerCmd.

The launchd path escapes its interpolated value with escapeXml. The systemd path interpolates workerCmd raw into a quoted Environment= line. A value that contains ", \, or a newline produces a malformed unit, or adds an unintended directive. systemctl --user enable --now then fails with an opaque error, and installDaemonService returns that error as its reason.

The value comes from FAILPROOFAI_WORKER_CMD or from FAILPROOFAI_PACKAGE_ROOT, so this is robustness rather than a privilege boundary. Escaping the two characters systemd cares about keeps the failure mode out of the unit file.

KeepAlive and Restart=on-failure are not equivalent.

The systemd unit uses Restart=on-failure, so a clean exit stops the service. The plist uses KeepAlive=true, so launchd restarts the daemon after every exit, including exit code 0. The daemon implements graceful shutdown, so on macOS a graceful stop is immediately undone, and singleton locking then contends with the relaunched copy.

If you want the two platforms to behave the same, use the dictionary form.

launchctl list reports loaded jobs, not running jobs.

launchctl list prints every registered job, including one whose PID column is - because it exited or never started.

This test can pass without asserting anything.

Every assertion sits inside if (result !== null). The comment states that whether target/ is built depends on test execution order.

In CI, where cargo build may never run before Vitest, the dev-build resolution branch of resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath has no coverage at all.

Replace the 50 ms wall-clock budget with a deterministic ordering check.

This assertion depends on real elapsed time. If readMergedHooksConfig or loadAllCustomHooks is not mocked in this file, the evaluation performs filesystem work and can exceed 50 ms on a loaded CI runner, which makes the test flaky. The property under test is that the outcome does not wait on trackPromise, not that it completes in 50 ms.

Await the outcome first and assert that it resolved while the telemetry promise was still pending, for example by recording a flag when releaseTelemetry runs and asserting it is still false after await outcomePromise.

Bound the graceful shutdown so the worker cannot hang on an open connection.

server.close() stops accepting new connections and waits for every existing connection to end. The Rust supervisor may hold a persistent connection to this socket. In that case the callback never runs and the process stays alive until the supervisor escalates to SIGKILL, which delays every daemon restart.

Close live connections and add a timeout fallback.

Attach a rejection handler when the telemetry promise is not awaited.

When awaitTelemetryFlush is false, trackPromise is never awaited and never handled. The surrounding try/catch cannot catch that rejection. In the warm worker this becomes an unhandled promise rejection, which Node terminates on by default. sendEvent is documented as never rejecting, so this is defensive, but the worker is long-lived and a single unhandled rejection kills it.

Resolve the worker script against the binary location, not the cwd.

PathBuf::from("dist/worker.mjs") is relative. It resolves against the daemon's own cwd. A systemd user service or a launchd job does not run with the install directory as cwd, so this fallback fails in the packaged case. Resolve the script from std::env::current_exe() instead.

Create the run directory owner-only in one step.

fs::create_dir_all applies the process umask first. The directory is group- and world-readable until set_permissions runs. The directory holds the socket that returns security decisions, so close that window by setting the mode at creation time with DirBuilderExt.

assert the rewritten unit file contains the new path and no longer contains the
original path. Ensure the assertions distinguish the second installation from a
no-op.

dependencies must not persist the GITHUB_TOKEN. In
.github/workflows/build-daemon.yml lines 47-47 and .github/workflows/ci.yml
lines 96-149, update each actions/checkout@v7.0.1 step to set
persist-credentials to false while preserving the existing job behavior.
- Around line 51-59: Restrict caching in the build job so pull_request runs can
only restore existing Cargo caches and cannot write to shared keys. Replace the
current actions/cache@v6 usage with the restore-only action for untrusted
triggers, and add saving only for release or workflow_dispatch triggers,

- Around line 39-44: Update the darwin-x64 matrix entry for target
x86_64-apple-darwin in the workflow to replace the retired macos-13 runner label

discipline and align the daemon path without changing its exit-code behavior.
In `@crates/failproofaid/src/server.rs`:
- Around line 50-60: Update the accepted stream handling in the server accept
loop to explicitly restore blocking mode on each TcpStream before spawning the
worker thread or calling handle_connection. Propagate any set_nonblocking
failure consistently with the surrounding error handling, while leaving the

- Around line 84-103: Update handle_connection to configure finite read and
write timeouts on the accepted UnixStream before read_message and subsequent
response handling, propagating setup errors through its io::Result return. Also
update run_until to bound concurrent connection handling, using a worker pool or

threads.
In `@crates/failproofaid/src/worker.rs`:
- Around line 150-177: Update Worker::ensure_started to remove any stale
socket_path before spawning the worker, then replace the socket_path.exists()
readiness check with an actual Unix-socket connection probe that confirms the
new worker is accepting connections. Preserve the existing child-exit and
timeout handling, and ensure shutdown cleanup in Worker::drop or
kill_process_group callers removes socket_path as well.
- Around line 95-117: Update the worker process setup in the command-spawning
flow to prevent piped stdout and stderr from filling: either discard both
streams with Stdio::null() or continuously drain each captured stream on
background threads. Preserve the existing process-group behavior and ensure both
worker output channels remain non-blocking for the worker's full lifetime.
In `@crates/failproofaid/tests/daemon_e2e.rs`:
- Around line 38-54: Update spawn_daemon and the shared test cleanup to prevent
daemon hangs and orphaned processes: drain or inherit the child’s output, poll
Child::try_wait() while waiting for the socket, and include captured output when
startup exits or times out. Add a guard type that kills and reaps the daemon on
Drop, then use it across all three tests so cleanup also occurs during assertion

- Around line 208-230: Set a finite timeout option on every execFileSync
invocation in installDaemonService, uninstallDaemonService, and

existing stdio behavior and error-handling paths so a timeout throws and is
converted into the current failure result or status behavior rather than
blocking indefinitely.
In `@src/hooks/worker-server.ts`:
- Around line 72-125: Update the socket data handler around the frame-decoding

In `@crates/failproofaid/src/paths.rs`:
- Around line 16-27: Update run_dir() to reject socket overrides whose parent
path is empty, treating Path::parent() returning Some("") the same as None and
returning the existing descriptive io::Error. Preserve valid non-empty parent
directories and the HOME-based fallback behavior.
- Around line 111-122: Introduce an RAII EnvGuard near ENV_LOCK that captures
specified environment-variable values, holds the lock, provides set/unset
helpers, and restores all saved values in Drop. Update
default_socket_path_lives_under_home_dot_failproofai_run and the other
environment-mutating tests to construct the guard with HOME and
FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET, then use its helpers instead of direct mutations or
manual cleanup so restoration also occurs during panics.
In `@crates/PROTOCOL.md`:
- Around line 10-13: Update the Stage 2 documentation to state that the daemon
relays hook requests to the warm worker via worker.call() instead of rejecting
them with a “not implemented” stub, and revise the matching error example on
lines 89-90 to remove the stale caveat.
In `@src/hooks/configure-wizard.ts`:
- Around line 644-647: Update the daemonNote text used by the outro call in
configure wizard output so the complete worst-case setup message remains within
the 80-column limit; keep the daemon-enabled status visible by shortening that
note rather than allowing writeLines to hard-truncate it.
- Around line 613-620: Update the failed-install branch in the configure
wizard’s daemon setup flow to write daemonResult.reason to stdout in addition to
the existing hookLogWarn call. Keep the warning log intact, and ensure the
wizard’s own output clearly reports that failproofaid was not installed as a

…cement-breaking
CodeRabbit's review of #632 surfaced four bugs that each silently defeat
enforcement, plus a set of smaller ones. Fixed with regression tests that
fail against the old code.
**macOS was broken outright.** `run_until` puts the listener in
non-blocking mode. Linux discards that on accept (`accept4`); BSD-derived
kernels inherit it. So on macOS `read_message` returned `WouldBlock`
before the client's bytes landed, `handle_connection` read that as a
malformed frame and answered with silence, and every hook call on macOS
— a platform this PR ships launchd support for — fell through to the
client's fail-closed deny. Accepted streams are now explicitly set
blocking.
**Worker restart never worked.** A Unix socket file outlives the process
that bound it, so `socket_path.exists()` saw the *dead* worker's leftover
file the instant a new one spawned, broke out of the wait loop, and
handed `call()` a socket nothing was listening on — ECONNREFUSED on
every request until the daemon restarted, which is precisely the
crash-recovery path the loop exists to provide. Readiness is now a real
`connect()`, the stale path is cleared before spawn, and `Drop` cleans up
after itself. Both new tests fail on the old code with ECONNREFUSED.
**`daemonConfigured` tracked the service manager, not a daemon.** It was
granted the moment `systemctl enable --now` / `launchctl load` exited 0 —
which a daemon that dies at startup also does — and never revoked on
uninstall. Since `bin/failproofai.mjs` fails closed on that flag, either
end of the lifecycle left the machine denying every hook event across all
11 CLIs, recoverable only by hand-editing
`~/.failproofai/policies-config.json`. Install now waits for the service
to reach *and hold* a running state (a `Type=simple` unit reports active
the moment it forks, so a single reading waves through exactly the
crash-at-startup case), and `uninstallDaemonService` clears the marker
first and unconditionally. The marker write moves to `daemon-service.ts`
as `setDaemonConfigured` so both ends share one implementation.
**A 150ms budget covered policy evaluation.** On a daemon-configured
machine a client timeout is a DENY, not a fallback — and that one budget
had to cover the whole roundtrip, which `handler.ts` allows 10s per
custom policy and `worker-server.ts` serializes. A slow-but-correct
verdict produced the same block as a dead daemon, so users would see
intermittent denials of legitimate tool calls. Split into a 150ms
*connect* probe (a dead daemon still fails fast, adding no latency) and a
30s *response* budget matching worker.rs's own read timeout.
Also:
- `process.exit()` in the `--hook` path discarded unflushed stdout.
Under every agent CLI that stdout is a pipe, so writes are async and
exit drops what's buffered — measured: 2 MB written, 146 KB delivered.
That truncates the decision payload the CLI parses, and on the
fail-closed path drops the deny reason entirely. Both hook paths now
drain first.
- The worker's piped stdout/stderr were never read. The worker runs real
policy code for the daemon's whole life, so a chatty custom policy
eventually fills the pipe buffer and blocks it mid-write — every later
hook call fails closed. Both pipes now drain on background threads into
the daemon's own stderr, where systemd/launchd already capture it.
- `worker-server.ts` decoded one frame per `data` event, stranding the
second of two coalesced requests until a third write arrived.
- Connections had no read/write deadline and no cap: a peer that
connected and sent nothing held a thread for the daemon's lifetime.
Now a 10s deadline plus a 64-connection ceiling.
- Every `systemctl`/`launchctl` call was unbounded, so a wedged user
session hung the wizard silently after the user pressed apply.
- Daemon-install telemetry sent `err.message` verbatim — for
writeFileSync/execFileSync failures that is an errno string carrying a
`homedir()`-derived absolute path, i.e. the OS username. Only a bounded
classification leaves the machine now; the full text stays in the local
log.
- The e2e harness piped the daemon's output without draining it (same
buffer-fill hang) and orphaned a live daemon on any assertion panic. A
`DaemonGuard` kills and reaps on drop, startup polls `try_wait()`, and
failures report the daemon's own stderr.
CI:
- `darwin-x64` used the retired `macos-13` label. An unknown label
doesn't fail — it never gets a runner, which is why that leg has been
pending since the PR opened. Now `macos-15-intel`.
- The release-artifact job shared a writable cargo cache between
`pull_request` and `release` triggers, so a PR branch could seed an
entry a later release run restores into a published binary.
Restore-only on PRs, save on release/dispatch.
- `persist-credentials: false` on the two checkouts that then compile
third-party crates, so build scripts can't read GITHUB_TOKEN out of
`.git/config`.
Verified end to end against the real compiled daemon (deny, allow,
worker-killed-mid-life restart, daemon-down fail-closed), plus
`cargo test --workspace`, `bun run test:run`, `bun run test:e2e`, lint
and tsc.

@SocketSecurity ignore cargo/zerocopy@0.8.55

Verified false positive, and it never reaches users.

  • Not in the shipped binary.cargo tree -p failproofaid -e normal does not contain zerocopy. It arrives only via proptest, a dev-dependency of crates/fpai-ipc used for property tests of the wire framing. It is not linked into the failproofaid release binaries staged into packages/failproofaid-*/, so nothing published to npm contains it.
  • The alert is a heuristic misfire.zerocopy is Google's zero-copy parsing crate (google/zerocopy, ~200M downloads); its source is heavily macro- and cfg-generated with byte-level unsafe, which is what the obfuscation detector keys on. There is no minified or encoded code in it.
  • It is also not a dependency we chose or can drop without dropping proptest.

Check the PID field for launchctl status, not label presence.

launchctl list still lists a loaded launchd job after it exits, and the first column is - rather than a running PID. daemonServiceStatus() currently reports "running" for that case, so waitForDaemonRunning() can treat an immediately crashed daemon as healthy and set daemonConfigured to true, causing hook events to fail closed.

Parse ai.failproof.failproofaid’s own line and return "running" only when the PID field is not -; handle labels that include the service string as a prefix or substring.

…ef-aware (#634)
* ci: publish the failproofaid binaries and make releases ref-aware
The daemon split (#632) added every packaging input — the platform
manifests, the pinned optional dependencies, and a 4-way cross-compile
matrix — but never touched publish.yml, so every release built four
binaries as Actions artifacts and threw them away with the runner. CI
was green throughout, because nothing checks that what gets built also
gets shipped.
Rework publish.yml into four jobs: preflight (version/dist-tag
resolution, npm credential check, daemon detection), daemon (calls
build-daemon.yml, now a reusable workflow), release-assets (downloads
the artifacts, assembles SHA256SUMS, attaches both to the release), and
publish (npm + aliases). The assets land BEFORE the npm publish because
the installed CLI downloads its daemon from that release tag — publish
the package first and its binary does not exist yet.
Two guards make a branch dispatch safe. The version bump checks main out
and pushes to it, so it now runs only for a release or a dispatch from
main; a dispatch from a feature branch would otherwise rewrite main's
version line to whatever that branch carries. And `latest` is refused
from a non-main dispatch, with `auto` resolving to `next` there, so a
branch build cannot move a dist-tag that a later release from main would
then move backwards.
Everything binary-related is gated on the ref actually carrying a Rust
workspace, so this is a no-op on main until #632 lands: both daemon jobs
skip and the npm publish behaves exactly as before. build-daemon.yml
comes along inert for the same reason — it gates its matrix on a detect
job, which is also what stops its own path filter from running `cargo
build` against a checkout with no crates.
Also adds a dry-run input (builds, checksums and `npm publish --dry-run`
while writing nothing), fixes publish.yml's bun cache key, which hashed
a `bun.lockb` this repo does not track, and adds a tripwire test over
both workflows, since a hand-maintained pipeline that silently drops its
own build artifacts is exactly what just happened.

Stage 1 of the failproofai/failproofaid split: an empty Cargo workspace
plus a rust-quality CI job gated on crates/*/Cargo.toml existing, so it
goes green before any daemon code lands. Also fixes the bun cache key
(hashFiles('bun.lockb') has silently never matched anything since this
repo tracks bun.lock, not bun.lockb) and extends the version-consistency
check to cover the new Cargo workspace version.

Stage 2: crates/fpai-ipc (length-prefixed JSON framing, the ping/hook
envelope, SO_PEERCRED/getpeereid peer verification) and crates/failproofaid
(a Unix-socket server binding ~/.failproofai/run/failproofaid.sock at 0600
inside a 0700 dir, a flock-based singleton guard, and graceful SIGTERM
shutdown). Hook requests get a stub "not implemented" error for now --
wiring them to a real warm Node/Bun worker is Stage 3.
28 Rust tests (unit + black-box binary integration tests spawning the real
compiled binary), plus manual end-to-end verification against an
independent Python client exercising ping/pong, the stub hook response,
protocol-version mismatch, malformed frames, and an oversized length
prefix. Testing caught two real bugs before they shipped: serde's
rename_all on an enum only renames variant tags, not struct-variant field
names (protocolVersion was silently serializing as protocol_version), and
ensure_run_dir was unconditionally chmod-ing whatever directory
FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_SOCKET's parent resolved to -- now it refuses to touch
a pre-existing directory it didn't create itself.

…d path
Stage 3: the full daemon-aware hook path, end to end.
TypeScript side:
- handler.ts: extract the core evaluation logic into evaluateHookEvent(),
which takes the stdin payload as a parameter and returns
{exitCode,stdout,stderr} instead of touching process.stdin/stdout
directly -- callable repeatedly inside a long-lived worker process.
handleHookEvent() keeps its exact existing signature/behavior as a thin
wrapper, so the 1300+ line existing test suite needed zero changes.
Adds a forceDecision option that registers a single synthetic policy and
runs it through the real, unmodified evaluatePolicies() -- the
fail-closed path gets correct per-CLI response shaping (Cursor's flat
continue:false, Factory's exit-2, ...) for free, with no duplicated
shaping logic. Also closes the process.cwd() hazard: a fallbackCwd
option lets a warm worker use the *originating* CLI's cwd instead of its
own fixed one when a payload omits cwd.
- worker-server.ts + bin/failproofai-worker.mjs: the Node/Bun process
failproofaid spawns. Listens on its own Unix socket (not stdio -- a
stray console.log from a user's custom policy must never desync a
shared framed channel), processing requests strictly sequentially so
the globalThis-backed policy registry stays correct with zero changes.
- daemon-client.ts: the thin client, real net.Server-tested framing
matching crates/PROTOCOL.md exactly. ~150ms connect+roundtrip budget,
null on any failure (no partial trust). isDaemonConfigured() gates the
whole path on a new HooksConfig.daemonConfigured marker (global scope
only) that nothing sets until Stage 4 -- inert on every machine today.
- bin/failproofai.mjs: daemon-attempt-then-fail-closed wiring, byte-for-
byte unchanged when not daemon-configured.
- builtin-policies.ts: fixes the git-branch cache for a warm process --
it previously never actually cached anything (one-shot process), and
reusing it unconditionally across many calls would silently serve a
stale branch after a checkout. Now gated on .git/HEAD's mtime.
Rust side:
- worker.rs: spawns and supervises the worker, relays Hook requests to
it, translating between the worker-facing protocol (no protocolVersion
-- this process always spawns a version-matched worker) and the
client-facing one (which does).
- server.rs: Hook requests now relay through the worker instead of
returning a stub error; any worker failure becomes a client Error
response, never a hang.
A live end-to-end test (real failproofaid, real bun-spawned worker, real
block-sudo policy) surfaced a genuine process-leak bug during development:
`sh -c "bun ..."` isn't guaranteed to exec(2) in place, so killing only
the tracked PID could leave a live grandchild worker process orphaned --
reproduced live as three orphaned failproofai-worker.mjs processes still
running minutes later. Fixed with process groups (spawn in a new group,
kill the whole group) and piped rather than inherited stdio (an inherited
fd on a worker that outlives its intended lifetime keeps a wrapping
shell's pipe from ever seeing EOF). Test infrastructure also gained an
RAII guard so a failing assertion cleans up its spawned worker exactly as
reliably as a passing one.
29 Rust tests, all passing worker-server.ts/daemon-client.ts tests against
real sockets (not mocks), full existing TS suite green.

The live end-to-end test in crates/failproofaid/src/server.rs spawns the
real TS worker via `bun bin/failproofai-worker.mjs`, but the rust-quality
job only ever set up the Rust toolchain -- bun was never on PATH there.
Failed on real CI with exit status 127 ("worker process exited before
creating its socket") even though it passed locally, where bun happens
to already be installed.

…ofai config
Stage 4: no separate `failproofai daemon install` command (explicitly
rejected during planning) -- `daemon-service.ts` is a small install/
uninstall/status engine that `configure-wizard.ts` calls directly, the
same relationship `config` already has with manager.ts's installHooks().
- daemon-service.ts: writes + enables a systemd --user unit on Linux
(~/.config/systemd/user/failproofaid.service) or a launchd LaunchAgent
on macOS (~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.failproof.failproofaid.plist).
resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath() points ExecStart/ProgramArguments at
the real compiled binary directly -- never the eventual JS bin shim,
which only exists for a user invoking `failproofaid` by hand, not for
what a service manager should supervise. Resolves via (in order) an
explicit test/dev override, the future @failproofai/failproofaid-<os>-
<arch> npm package, or a locally-built target/{release,debug}/
failproofaid -- so this already works against this session's own
cargo-built binary before Stage 5's packaging exists.
- configure-wizard.ts: when the global ("Everywhere I code") scope is
chosen on a supported platform, the wizard installs/starts the service
and writes the daemonConfigured marker unconditionally -- no separate
toggle, matching the product decision that this isn't an opt-in extra.
A failed install never fails the wizard: the rest of setup already
applied, and the machine simply stays on the in-process path since the
marker is only set on success. The review screen lists the exact
service file that's about to be written, alongside every other file
the wizard already shows.
Verified against a REAL systemd --user session (this sandbox has one) --
install, confirm `running`, uninstall, confirm fully removed, with the
test backing up and restoring any real pre-existing unit rather than
assuming a clean slate. macOS/launchd is unit-tested (plist content
generation, path resolution) but not live-verified -- no macOS available
here.
Also closes a real safety gap caught while adding these tests:
configure-wizard.test.ts already drives the wizard through scope "user"
in several existing cases, and without mocking daemon-service.ts those
tests would have shelled out to the real systemctl on whatever machine
runs them.

…ound via Docker verification
Adds per-platform failproofaid binary packages distributed via
optionalDependencies (packages/failproofaid-{linux,darwin}-{x64,arm64}),
a failproofaid-shim.mjs bin entry that resolves and execs the right one,
and a build-daemon.yml cross-compile matrix (4 real targets, staged into
packages/*/bin/ for release). Bumps to 1.0.0-beta.0 across every
version-carrying file, per explicit instruction — this is the daemon
split, a major behavioral change on supported platforms.
Two real bugs surfaced by driving a real Docker clean-install + a live
daemon/worker relay end-to-end (not just unit tests):
- The worker was spawned lazily on the first real request, taking ~700ms
to cold-start — well past daemon-client.ts's 150ms fail-closed budget,
so the very first hook call after every daemon (re)start failed closed
even though the daemon was healthy. Fixed by pre-warming the worker in
a background thread right after the daemon binds its socket
(worker.rs, main.rs).
- Every deny/instruct decision unconditionally awaited a live PostHog
network POST before returning, regardless of opts.awaitTelemetryFlush
— the warm worker passes that flag specifically to avoid this, but the
inline telemetry call at handler.ts's "decisions that affect Claude's
behavior" block never checked it. This made every real policy block
through the daemon pay a live network round-trip (or up to 5s when
PostHog is unreachable), which is precisely the enforcement path that
most needs to be fast and reliable. Fixed to respect the same opt-out
flushHookTelemetry() already honors, with a regression test.
Also resolves the version-bumped Rust binary path (daemon-service.ts's
resolveWorkerCommand()/Environment= threading) once more against the new
version to confirm the fix still holds.

Corrects the CI job table (8 jobs across ci.yml, not the stale 4-job
list, plus the separate path-filtered build-daemon.yml cross-compile
matrix), adds the new Rust crates/daemon files to the project-structure
cheatsheet, and records the deliberate decision to keep this repo's own
dogfood hook configs on the in-process path rather than daemon-configured.

…cement-breaking
CodeRabbit's review of #632 surfaced four bugs that each silently defeat
enforcement, plus a set of smaller ones. Fixed with regression tests that
fail against the old code.
**macOS was broken outright.** `run_until` puts the listener in
non-blocking mode. Linux discards that on accept (`accept4`); BSD-derived
kernels inherit it. So on macOS `read_message` returned `WouldBlock`
before the client's bytes landed, `handle_connection` read that as a
malformed frame and answered with silence, and every hook call on macOS
— a platform this PR ships launchd support for — fell through to the
client's fail-closed deny. Accepted streams are now explicitly set
blocking.
**Worker restart never worked.** A Unix socket file outlives the process
that bound it, so `socket_path.exists()` saw the *dead* worker's leftover
file the instant a new one spawned, broke out of the wait loop, and
handed `call()` a socket nothing was listening on — ECONNREFUSED on
every request until the daemon restarted, which is precisely the
crash-recovery path the loop exists to provide. Readiness is now a real
`connect()`, the stale path is cleared before spawn, and `Drop` cleans up
after itself. Both new tests fail on the old code with ECONNREFUSED.
**`daemonConfigured` tracked the service manager, not a daemon.** It was
granted the moment `systemctl enable --now` / `launchctl load` exited 0 —
which a daemon that dies at startup also does — and never revoked on
uninstall. Since `bin/failproofai.mjs` fails closed on that flag, either
end of the lifecycle left the machine denying every hook event across all
11 CLIs, recoverable only by hand-editing
`~/.failproofai/policies-config.json`. Install now waits for the service
to reach *and hold* a running state (a `Type=simple` unit reports active
the moment it forks, so a single reading waves through exactly the
crash-at-startup case), and `uninstallDaemonService` clears the marker
first and unconditionally. The marker write moves to `daemon-service.ts`
as `setDaemonConfigured` so both ends share one implementation.
**A 150ms budget covered policy evaluation.** On a daemon-configured
machine a client timeout is a DENY, not a fallback — and that one budget
had to cover the whole roundtrip, which `handler.ts` allows 10s per
custom policy and `worker-server.ts` serializes. A slow-but-correct
verdict produced the same block as a dead daemon, so users would see
intermittent denials of legitimate tool calls. Split into a 150ms
*connect* probe (a dead daemon still fails fast, adding no latency) and a
30s *response* budget matching worker.rs's own read timeout.
Also:
- `process.exit()` in the `--hook` path discarded unflushed stdout.
Under every agent CLI that stdout is a pipe, so writes are async and
exit drops what's buffered — measured: 2 MB written, 146 KB delivered.
That truncates the decision payload the CLI parses, and on the
fail-closed path drops the deny reason entirely. Both hook paths now
drain first.
- The worker's piped stdout/stderr were never read. The worker runs real
policy code for the daemon's whole life, so a chatty custom policy
eventually fills the pipe buffer and blocks it mid-write — every later
hook call fails closed. Both pipes now drain on background threads into
the daemon's own stderr, where systemd/launchd already capture it.
- `worker-server.ts` decoded one frame per `data` event, stranding the
second of two coalesced requests until a third write arrived.
- Connections had no read/write deadline and no cap: a peer that
connected and sent nothing held a thread for the daemon's lifetime.
Now a 10s deadline plus a 64-connection ceiling.
- Every `systemctl`/`launchctl` call was unbounded, so a wedged user
session hung the wizard silently after the user pressed apply.
- Daemon-install telemetry sent `err.message` verbatim — for
writeFileSync/execFileSync failures that is an errno string carrying a
`homedir()`-derived absolute path, i.e. the OS username. Only a bounded
classification leaves the machine now; the full text stays in the local
log.
- The e2e harness piped the daemon's output without draining it (same
buffer-fill hang) and orphaned a live daemon on any assertion panic. A
`DaemonGuard` kills and reaps on drop, startup polls `try_wait()`, and
failures report the daemon's own stderr.
CI:
- `darwin-x64` used the retired `macos-13` label. An unknown label
doesn't fail — it never gets a runner, which is why that leg has been
pending since the PR opened. Now `macos-15-intel`.
- The release-artifact job shared a writable cargo cache between
`pull_request` and `release` triggers, so a PR branch could seed an
entry a later release run restores into a published binary.
Restore-only on PRs, save on release/dispatch.
- `persist-credentials: false` on the two checkouts that then compile
third-party crates, so build scripts can't read GITHUB_TOKEN out of
`.git/config`.
Verified end to end against the real compiled daemon (deny, allow,
worker-killed-mid-life restart, daemon-down fail-closed), plus
`cargo test --workspace`, `bun run test:run`, `bun run test:e2e`, lint
and tsc.

Same subject as the surrounding sentence (hardening the job that produces
the binary users install), so it belongs in that bullet rather than a new

… packages
The four `@failproofai/failproofaid-<os>-<arch>` packages were the plan of
record — declared as optionalDependencies, pinned to the root version, built
by a 4-way cross-compile — but nothing ever published them. The workflow only
uploaded the binaries as Actions artifacts and publish.yml was never touched
at all, so all four names 404 on npm today and a released CLI would have
resolved a daemon that does not exist. #634 fixes the pipeline either way;
this removes the channel it would have had to publish, because the release
assets have to exist regardless for anyone installing failproofaid on its own,
and a second channel is a second thing to keep in step with the first.
daemon-download.ts fetches `failproofaid-<os>-<arch>.gz` from the release
tagged with this CLI's own version, verifies it against the published
SHA256SUMS *before* decompressing, and installs it to
`~/.failproofai/bin/failproofaid-<version>` by atomic rename, mode 0755. The
URL is constructed from package.json's version rather than discovered through
the API: no rate limit, no `releases/latest` redirect, and no way to run a
daemon built from different source than the CLI talking to it. The versioned
filename is what keeps an upgrade from overwriting a running binary (ETXTBSY)
or silently repointing a live service unit.
A bad checksum, a missing manifest entry and a failed fetch are refusals
rather than warnings — what this writes is an executable a service manager
runs at login. Only the install path downloads;
resolveFailproofaidBinaryPath() stays a pure disk check, so the hook path can
never block on the network. FAILPROOFAI_NO_DOWNLOAD=1 opts an air-gapped
machine out while leaving an already-installed binary working, and
FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_BASE_URL points at an internal mirror (and at a local
server in the tests).
build-daemon.yml matches #634's copy so the rebase is a no-op: it gzips each
binary and uploads that, which is also what makes the artifact's lost
executable bit a non-issue.
Verified: 13 new download tests against a real local HTTP server covering
checksum mismatch, a manifest with no entry, a 404, the disabled-downloads
opt-out and the atomic install; the daemon-service resolution tests now run
against a scratch HOME so a developer machine with a real daemon cannot flake
them; and a clean `npm pack` + container run confirms the shim reports the
config hint with nothing installed and execs an overridden binary.

Two defects the 1.0.0-beta.0 release surfaced on real machines.
The Linux binaries linked against the build runner's glibc, and
`ubuntu-latest` is now 24.04 (glibc 2.39), so they refused to start on
Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, RHEL 9 and Amazon Linux 2023 — measured against
real containers, not predicted. Both Linux legs now target
`*-unknown-linux-musl` and link statically, which has no glibc floor at
all; an older runner would only move the floor (22.04 is 2.35, still
above RHEL 9's 2.34). The build asserts staticness on the artifact
itself, because a "static" build that came out dynamic still runs on the
runner that made it and fails only on the users' distros.
The service was a systemd --user unit, which only runs while its user
manager does: without lingering that manager does not start at boot and
stops with the last session. So the daemon died on logout — and on a
daemon-configured machine an unreachable daemon fails closed, so any
agent running without a login session (detached tmux, cron, a CI runner)
then hit denials. It is now
`/etc/systemd/system/failproofaid@<user>.service` with `User=<user>` and
`WantedBy=multi-user.target`, enabled via `systemctl enable --now`;
macOS moves from a LaunchAgent to a LaunchDaemon with `UserName`.
Root-installed, never root-run: everything it touches still lives in one
user's home and is peer-checked against that uid.
The two costs of system scope are handled rather than assumed. Install
needs root, so `canElevate()` probes `sudo -n` BEFORE writing anything
and, failing that, returns the exact commands to run (classified as
`needs_root`) instead of half-installing — never an interactive prompt,
which would be unreadable under the wizard's TUI. And a system unit
inherits no login environment, so `FAILPROOFAI_WORKER_CMD` now names an
absolute runtime via `process.execPath`: a bare `node` resolves for the
wizard and then fails inside the service on every nvm install, silently,
which is the same class of bug CLAUDE.md documents for the dev hook.
Any pre-existing user-scope daemon is stopped and removed on both
install and uninstall. It holds the same singleton flock, so leaving one
behind would make the new service lose the race and leave the machine
fail-closed against a daemon that never came up.
The unit is named per user so a second person on the same box cannot
silently steal the first's service; every field in it is user-specific
anyway. Status needs no privileges — `systemctl status
failproofaid@<user>`, exposed as `daemonStatusCommand()`.
No version bump here: `block-version-bumps` reserves that for a
`luv-cut-*` branch, which is where 1.0.0-beta.1 gets cut.

fetchBytes buffers the whole body in memory with no size limit. The timeout limits the duration, not the volume, so a misconfigured mirror or a wrong URL can drive a large allocation inside the config wizard. The expected asset is about 2 MB.

Validate the scheme of the mirror override.

FAILPROOFAI_DAEMON_BASE_URL is used without validation. A mirror set to http:// downloads an executable over a channel with no transport integrity. The SHA-256 check does not close this gap, because SHA256SUMS is fetched from the same base URL, so anyone able to modify the asset can also modify the manifest.

Restrict the override to https: (and http://127.0.0.1/localhost for tests), or require an explicit opt-in variable for plain HTTP.

Comment threadsrc/hooks/daemon-service.ts
CI caught what a local run could not. `installDaemonService()` downloads
the daemon when nothing is resolvable, so the test asserting "fails
cleanly when the binary cannot be resolved" actually fetched the real
1.0.0-beta.0 asset from GitHub Releases and installed it — the install
then succeeded, failing that assertion, and the binary it left in the
runner's home broke a later test that expects win32 to resolve nothing.
It passed locally only because this sandbox has no network in the test
environment.
Downloads are now off for the whole file (the download path itself is
covered in daemon-download.test.ts against a local HTTP server), and the
two tests that assert "nothing is installed" run against a scratch HOME
so a machine that really has a daemon — a CI runner that just ran the
lifecycle tests, a developer laptop — cannot flake them.

`sudo failproofai config` was the advice beta.1 printed when it could not
elevate, and it is actively wrong. Under sudo `homedir()` is /root: the
hooks land in root's settings, `daemonConfigured` is set for root, the
binary downloads to /root/.failproofai/bin, and the unit is generated
with `User=root` — the entire user-scope design undone silently, on the
one path a user follows when something already went wrong. The wizard now
refuses to run under sudo when SUDO_USER shows a real user behind it, and
names the account to re-run as. A genuinely root-only environment, which
has no SUDO_USER, still works.
Service installation becomes step 0. It is the only step that needs a
password, so asking there means `sudo -v` prompts on a clean terminal
instead of firing from underneath a drawn TUI screen, where the prompt is
invisible and the typed characters land in a redrawn frame. That single
prompt caches the credential for the run, which is what keeps the install
itself non-interactive — no sudo -n failure, no half-written unit.
The daemon is no longer inferred from the scope either. It is
machine-level — one service for every project on the box — so step 0 is
where the user consents to it, and a project-scope setup can have one
too. Declining, or failing to authenticate, never costs the rest of the
setup: the wizard says so and applies everything else, exactly as a
machine with no daemon behaved before.
Six existing tests asserted the old scope-gated flow — the behaviour this
changes — so they move with it, and three new ones pin what actually
matters: that sudo is primed BEFORE any other question (ordering is the
whole fix), that declining never touches sudo or the service, and that a
refused password still applies the rest.

…-beta.10
The daemon reads its ingest credential ONCE, at collector start. `main.rs`
starts the collector manager once and never tears it down, and the uploader
caches its bearer key at construction. Config is re-read on a 5s tick; the
CREDENTIAL is not.
So rotating a key left the file correct and the process wrong — and the failure
is invisible from every angle a person can check. `--connect` verifies the NEW
key itself and prints success. `systemctl` reports the service healthy.
`credentials.toml` holds a key that works when you curl it. And every batch 401s
and parks. The only symptom is data that never arrives.
Observed live, which is how it was found: a key revoked at 13:05:37 UTC and
replaced 37 seconds later still produced 401s twenty minutes on, with 26 batches
parked in `state/failed/` and a CLI insisting the machine was connected.
This was ALREADY KNOWN. `--disconnect` printed a line telling the user to
restart by hand. Printing the remedy is strictly worse than applying it: it
relies on somebody reading past a success message to discover the success is
conditional, and nobody does.
`reloadDaemonAfterConfigChange()` now runs from `--connect`, `--disconnect` and
the wizard's apply. Four things it deliberately does:
• verifies with `probeDaemon()`, not the exit code. `systemctl restart`
returning 0 proves the fork happened; a `Type=simple` unit is reported
active the instant it is forked. Trusting that is how a daemon that comes
back unable to evaluate gets reported as a successful reload.
• resets a latched start-limit first. `Restart=on-failure` plus a definition
that cannot start trips systemd's limit, and a latched unit then REFUSES a
legitimate restart.
• only touches a RUNNING service, and only when a connection actually
changed. On a `daemonConfigured` machine a restart is a window in which
tool calls fail closed — not a price to pay for a run that only picked
policies, and not this function's business for a service deliberately down.
• when it cannot restart, says so and gives the exact command instead of
printing success over a machine still shipping with the old key.
Dependencies are injected the way `connectionStatusLines` already takes
`daemonStatus`. That is not stylistic: these are module-internal calls, and ESM
binds them at module scope, so `vi.spyOn(mod, …)` leaves the function calling
the original. I wrote the tests that way first and three of them passed against
a stub that was never consulted — the most misleading failure available.
`cloud-enrollment-cli.test.ts` also had NO mocks, so an unmocked restart would
have bounced the developer's own daemon once per assertion during `test:run`.
Only the restart is stubbed there; the rest of the module stays real.
Red-proven: skipping the restart fails 3 tests, trusting the exit code instead
of probing fails 1.

Replaces the CLI-side restart shipped earlier in beta.10. That version only
covered changes our own CLI made, which is being told rather than reloading —
`config.toml` says "Safe to edit by hand" and means it, and a fleet tool, an
editor or a `sed` are all legitimate ways to change it. None of them run our
code, so none of them took effect.
The collector resolves its ingest credential once, when it starts, and the
uploader caches the bearer key at construction. Rotating a key therefore left
the file correct and the process wrong, and the failure is invisible from every
angle a person can check: `--connect` verifies the NEW key itself and reports
success, the service stays healthy, `credentials.toml` holds a key that works
when you curl it — and every batch 401s and parks. Observed live: a key revoked
at 13:05:37 and replaced 37 seconds later was still producing 401s twenty
minutes on, with 26 parked batches and a CLI insisting the machine was
connected. The only symptom was data that never arrived.
`spawn_collector_manager` now compares the whole on-disk `CollectorConfig` each
tick and cycles the collector when it differs. The whole config, not just the
credential: a stream switched off, a verbosity change and a redaction change are
all baked into the tasks at build time and none of them took effect either.
Four decisions worth stating:
• it cycles the COLLECTOR, not the daemon. A daemon restart is a window in
which a `daemonConfigured` machine denies every tool call, and re-reading a
credential does not justify that. The enforcement socket keeps serving.
• an unreadable config is "wait", not "disabled". A file caught mid-save
would otherwise tear down a healthy collector and rebuild it from the same
bytes a tick later — on a fleet tool, on every rewrite.
• the old generation is drained BEFORE the new one starts. Two collectors
sharing a spool directory would both claim the same batch files.
• disabling stops it and re-enabling starts it again, both without a restart.
`--disconnect` needing one is why a machine that had left its organisation
went on shipping; the reverse needing one would be half a fix.
`COLLECTOR_METRICS` had to stop being a `OnceLock`. Every publish after the
first was silently dropped, so a cycled collector left the telemetry lane
polling a generation that had already been joined and reporting its totals as
current — nothing errors, the numbers just stop moving, which looks exactly like
a healthy idle machine.
A race the tests caught: the manager recorded `current_collector_config()` after
spawning rather than the config it had just built from, so an edit landing in
that window was recorded as already-applied and never seen again. It now records
`next_cfg`.
Tests drive the REAL binary against real files on disk, because the property is
"an edit somebody else made is noticed" — a test calling an internal reload
function would prove something else. Red-proven: making the comparison always
report "unchanged" fails 4 of the 5. Verified stable across three consecutive
runs, and live against a real daemon: a hand-edited credential cycled it, the
socket stayed up throughout, and disable/re-enable both worked with no restart.

The collector never re-reads a file it has a cursor for. That is right for
steady state and wrong exactly twice: when the dashboard's data was cleared or a
machine re-enrolled, and when cursors advanced before there was anywhere to
send. Both leave a machine whose transcripts exist locally and nowhere else,
with no way to ask for them again short of deleting files by hand and hoping.
Re-sending is safe by construction, not by luck. Re-reading is already the
documented recovery path for a damaged cursor store — "starting over re-ships
records the server already dedups" — and `redaction_is_deterministic` is an
existing test, so a re-sent event hashes identically to its first send and
collapses into the row that is already there.
Shape follows what was asked for: 30 days by default (`--since 30d | 6m |
YYYY-MM-DD`, `--dry-run` to look first), every agent CLI with sessions on disk,
and only the streams `[collector]` enables — so a backfill can never ship
transcripts on a machine that deliberately set `sessions = false`.
It HANDS OFF via a request file rather than doing the work. The cursors it
rewinds are held in memory by the running collector, which would write them
straight back over; only the daemon can stop the collector first. A file, not an
IPC call, because the CLI returns immediately so nothing is holding a connection
to answer on — and a request that outlives a daemon restart is the one a person
expects. The daemon deletes it BEFORE acting: a backfill that panicked mid-rewind
must not be retried forever, because the cursors it already forgot would be
forgotten again and the machine would sit re-shipping its history in a loop.
What it does NOT hand off is the checking. No home, no credential, collection
switched off — all verified synchronously before returning. Handing off an
impossible request and printing success is the failure that already cost twenty
minutes on a live machine while batches parked.
THE BUG THIS ALSO FIXES, which the design work surfaced and which would have
made the whole feature a lie: `new_cursor` refuses any file whose mtime is older
than `since_days`, hardcoded to 7. Forgetting cursors for a 30-day window would
therefore have re-read a WEEK, given the older files no cursor at all, and
re-skipped them on every poll after. Silent, and the dashboard would look
complete. The window is now widened for the rebuild a backfill triggers, and
needs no clearing: `since_days` is only consulted for a file with no cursor, and
after the rebuild those files all have one.
Verified end to end against the real binary: a 30-day request forgot 241 cursors
at `window_days=31`, then read 3,364 files older than the 7-day gate, the oldest
28.3 days — that count is 0 without the fix.
Sizing worth knowing: that backfill produced 3,838 spool batches / 256 MiB
(avg 66 KiB, max 8 MiB) on one developer machine. They drain through the
existing 8-way uploader and park on failure like anything else, but it is not a
small operation and `--dry-run` reports the file count before you ask for it.

Overall Verdict

16 findings confirmed after adversarial re-verification (2 Critical, 6 High, 7 Medium, 1 Low). This is not safe to ship as-is — the two Critical findings are both silent-failure modes in core daemon lifecycle management (a crash-loop trigger and a stale-daemon-masquerading-as-current bug) that defeat the daemon's own restart/upgrade guarantees. Notably, most of these are not novel one-off bugs but gaps in fix patterns already applied elsewhere in this same PR: the panic-safe thread-spawn pattern from commit 5faf3bc wasn't extended to the hottest path (per-connection spawn in server.rs) or to worker.rs's I/O-forwarding threads; the OnceLockRwLock health-registry fix applied to telemetry.rs wasn't mirrored in fpai_collect::health; the restart-vs-enable --now distinction used correctly in ensureDaemonServiceCurrent() wasn't applied to installDaemonService(); and persist-credentials: false hardening added to ci.yml/build-daemon.yml wasn't applied to publish.yml. One finding (cloud_client.rs) is a genuine cross-repo desync: the Rust daemon's cloud-URL validation is missing a loopback-http check that the TS wizard enforces and that configure-wizard.ts's own comments claim is shared/symmetric — worth checking whether agenteye PR #515 assumes that invariant holds on the daemon side.

Findings

Critical: Unguarded std::thread::spawn on the daemon's main thread crashes the whole process

crates/failproofaid/src/server.rs:172

run_until()'s accept loop spawns each connection handler with panicking std::thread::spawn (not Builder::spawn), on the daemon's main thread, up to 64 times concurrently. Any OS failure to create a thread (RLIMIT_NPROC, pids cgroup limit, transient pthread_create EAGAIN) panics uncaught (no catch_unwind anywhere above run()/main()) and kills the entire daemon — denying every tool call across all 12 CLIs, then crash-looping under Restart=on-failure. This is exactly the failure class sibling commit 5faf3bc fixed for telemetry/audit_lane/collector-manager, but the per-connection spawn — which fires far more often than any of those — was never converted to the same Option<JoinHandle> + logged-degradation pattern.

Critical: installDaemonService() never restarts an already-active unit, so version-skew "reinstall" leaves the old daemon running forever

src/hooks/daemon-service.ts:828

On Linux, installDaemonService() only does daemon-reload + enable --now — never restart. Live-reproduced against real systemd: rewriting a unit's ExecStart then running exactly those two calls leaves the same MainPID running the old binary. configure-wizard.ts's boolean algebra (daemonBroken = daemonUpToDate && !daemonAnswers) makes daemonBroken always false whenever daemonSkew is set, so the uninstall-before-reinstall path never fires for pure version skew — installDaemonService() runs directly over the still-live old process. probeDaemon() treats a protocol-mismatch response from that stale daemon as ok:true, so the CLI records setDaemonConfigured(true, newVersion) and pruneOldDaemonBinaries() can delete the file the old running process was started from — silently defeating the documented recovery path for a PROTOCOL_VERSION bump (npm update -g failproofaifailproofai config).

High: Fail-closed catch-all in the hook CLI writes nothing to stdout and skips exitAfterFlush(), turning any downstream exception into a silent ALLOW

bin/failproofai.mjs:188

evaluateHookEvent's try { } finally { } (no catch) lets any exception — including from the fail-closed forced-deny path itself when the daemon is unreachable — propagate to the outer catch-all, which writes 0 bytes to stdout, logs only to stderr, and calls a bare process.exit(2) instead of this file's own exitAfterFlush(). Live-reproduced with a temporary injected throw: exit 2, empty stdout, error text on stderr only. Since Cursor/Pi/Hermes/OpenClaw/Devin/Antigravity/Goose/Factory-Stop all read their deny verdict from stdout JSON (not exit code), this silently becomes an ALLOW for ~8 of 11 supported CLIs. The PR already patched one instance of this exact bug class (readActiveCloudManagedPolicies's 14 throw sites) but one layer too low — the true outer boundary is still exposed. Separately, even the exit-code-based deny channels (Claude/Factory-non-Stop) aren't safe: this is the one exit path in --hook handling that doesn't use exitAfterFlush(), so under load the stderr reason text can be truncated by process.exit().

High: publish.yml concurrency group doesn't actually serialize release vs workflow_dispatch

.github/workflows/publish.yml:51

group: publish-${{ github.ref }} differs between the two trigger types the adjacent comment says this block exists to serialize: release: published gives refs/tags/vX.Y.Z, workflow_dispatch gives refs/heads/main. Different groups mean GitHub doesn't queue one behind the other. A release publish racing a manual workflow_dispatch targeting the same not-yet-bumped version on main can both pass the preflight "unpublished" npm-view check (registry read-through cache, documented up to 2 min lag) and both proceed to publish — the orphaned-platform-package/version-split failure this block was written to prevent.

High: Ruleset-bypass token sits readable during untrusted build script execution

.github/workflows/publish.yml:442

The publish job checks out with the version-bot GitHub App token persisted (no persist-credentials: false) — needed later only to git push origin main, bypassing branch protection — then immediately runs bun install --frozen-lockfile with no --ignore-scripts, triggering prepare (bun run build, a full Next.js build) and any dependency lifecycle scripts, all while the bypass-capable token is on disk in .git/config, well before it's actually needed. This PR added persist-credentials: false for the identical risk in ci.yml's rust-quality job and build-daemon.yml, but not here.

High: Quoted-value redaction bug swallows unrelated trailing content

crates/fpai-collect/src/redact.rs:309

match_assignment scans byte-by-byte and matches at the opening-quote character itself (rather than one past it), so quoted evaluates false and the unquoted stop-set (whitespace/;/& only, no quote exclusion) greedily consumes everything up to the next delimiter. Live-reproduced: docker run -e API_KEY="sk-abc..."myapp/image:latest --flag positional-arg redacts to ... API_KEY=[redacted:secret-assignment] --flag positional-argmyapp/image:latest is silently deleted, not just the secret. Any quoted assignment glued to following text with no separator (common in concatenated CLI args) loses that trailing data permanently with no marker distinguishing "secret redacted" from "data destroyed." Even the bare KEY="value" case drops the closing quote, contradicting the function's own doc comment.

High: Collector health registry silently freezes after the first collector restart

crates/fpai-collect/src/health.rs:152

GLOBAL: OnceLock<Arc<Health>> means install() only succeeds once per process; every later call (on every credential-change reload or failproofai backfill — both new in this PR, via collector_tasks() in main.rs) silently no-ops. Sources report through free functions routed at GLOBAL.get(), i.e. into the orphaned first-generation Health object, not the one the live writer_task is persisting. Reproduced with a standalone two-generation integration test: the second generation recorded zero events while the orphaned first generation absorbed all of them. collector-health.json keeps getting rewritten every 30s with stale/zero data forever after the first cycle — a source going completely dark reads identically to a healthy one. This exact bug class (OnceLockRwLock<Option<Arc<...>>>) was fixed in this same PR for the sibling COLLECTOR_METRICS registry in telemetry.rs, with an almost-verbatim comment, but never applied here.

High: Dashboard CSRF Origin-check bypass applies even on a deliberately non-loopback bind

proxy.ts:66

The Host-pin check is wrapped in if (boundToLoopback), but the Origin check (if (origin && MUTATING_METHODS.has(...))) has no such gate — so a mutating request with no Origin header (the default for curl and most non-browser clients) bypasses both defenses regardless of bind address. dashboard-host.ts explicitly documents and supports non-loopback binding (containers, remote dev boxes via --host/FAILPROOFAI_DASHBOARD_HOST), but the no-Origin exemption's own comment ("with a loopback bind it is necessarily a local process") shows it was designed for loopback only and was never re-gated for the supported non-loopback case. Confirmed live against the exported proxy() middleware with FAILPROOFAI_DASHBOARD_HOST=0.0.0.0: an Origin-less POST to /api/auth/login-verify passes through. This reaches unauthenticated OTP-token grafting into auth.json (the exact exploit the lockdown suite exists to prevent), POST /policies (hook uninstall), and POST /api/audit/run from any host on the exposed network segment.

Medium: WorkerCommand::spawn's panicking thread spawn poisons the child mutex mid-guard, permanently breaking Hook handling without crashing the daemon

crates/failproofaid/src/worker.rs:124

ensure_started() holds self.child.lock() across the call to self.cmd.spawn(...), which does two more bare std::thread::spawn calls to drain stdout/stderr. A thread-creation failure there panics while the MutexGuard is alive, poisoning self.child; every future ensure_started()/call()/warm() then panics too — but only inside per-connection handler threads, so the daemon doesn't crash and keeps answering Ping (looking healthy) while every Hook request is permanently denied until an external restart. Same root trigger as the server.rs:172 finding, one severity notch down since the failure mode is fail-closed (denies) rather than fail-open, and the trigger condition is rare.

Medium: Server::bind() unlinks/rebinds the socket relying solely on flock(), which isn't reliable mutual exclusion over NFS

crates/failproofaid/src/server.rs:137

bind() unconditionally fs::remove_file()s whatever sits at socket_path, trusting the comment that "a live daemon is never listening on a leftover path" because lock.rs's flock() prevents two daemons. flock() is documented to not reliably provide cross-host mutual exclusion over NFS (pre-NFSv4 locks are client-local without active NLM/lockd). failproofai_home() has no local-filesystem check on $HOME/FAILPROOFAI_HOME. On a shared/NFS-mounted home used by the same user across multiple hosts (a real deployment shape this codebase already accounts for elsewhere — audit-lock.ts explicitly engineers around NFS O_EXCL non-atomicity), a second daemon can believe it holds the lock and unlink/steal the first, live daemon's socket, silently orphaning its clients.

Medium: Stale doc comments describe a fallback behavior that was deliberately removed

src/hooks/daemon-client.ts:76

DaemonFailure's doc comment and attemptDaemonHook's JSDoc still assert protocol-mismatch should fall back to in-process evaluation ("denying ... would take a working machine offline to protect nothing"). Commit 2926252 deliberately reversed this in bin/failproofai.mjs — both "protocol-mismatch" and "unreachable" now hit the same forced-deny path — but the comments in the file that defines DaemonFailure were never updated. A future contributor reading only this file has every reason to "restore" the old fallback, reintroducing a second reachable policy engine on a daemon-configured machine — the exact risk 2926252 eliminated.

Medium: macOS status check requires live sudo cache, misreporting a healthy daemon as stopped and forcing an unnecessary unload/reload

src/hooks/daemon-service.ts:1524

daemonServiceStatus()'s darwin branch runs sudo -n launchctl print system/<label>; any failure (including a merely-expired sudo cache, default 5 min) is caught and mapped to "stopped" with no way to distinguish "actually down" from "can't check." This flows into configure-wizard.ts's daemonWanted computation, triggering an unnecessary sudo prompt and an unload→write→load -w cycle on a daemon that was never broken — a real fail-closed enforcement gap during the bounce, and a direct violation of configure-wizard.ts's own stated invariant ("must not demand sudo for work that is already done"), which holds on Linux (root-free systemctl is-active) but not macOS.

Medium: npm-channel binary install has no integrity re-check at copy time

src/hooks/daemon-download.ts:246

installFromNpmPackage() reads the platform package's binary and copies it via installBinaryBytes() with zero hashing — only npmPlatformBinaryPath()'s package.json version-string check, no createHash/digest anywhere in the call chain. Contrast with downloadFailproofaidBinary(), which always re-fetches and checks SHA256SUMS before install. If any sibling package's postinstall script overwrites the binary in shared-writable node_modules after npm's own extraction-time check, nothing catches it, and the tampered binary gets installed as a SYSTEM-scope, root-owned, boot-persistent systemd/launchd service.

Medium: npm publish re-runs prepare (full build) with the npm token exported to the whole toolchain

.github/workflows/publish.yml:516

The Publish step sets NODE_AUTH_TOKEN for the entire step, but npm publish triggers the prepare lifecycle hook (bun run build, i.e. next build), which inherits that env var into the whole bundler/build toolchain — confirmed by the workflow's own comment ("npm publish re-runs prepare"). A compromised build-time dependency could exfiltrate the publish token. The sibling cli-tarball job already uses npm pack --ignore-scripts for this exact reason; npm publish here omits the equivalent flag.

Medium — cross-repo (daemon ↔ agenteye): Rust CloudClient::new() allows plain http:// to non-loopback hosts, unlike the TS-side validator

crates/failproofaid/src/cloud_client.rs:185

CloudClient::new() only checks the URL scheme is http/https, no loopback restriction — confirmed with a temporary test asserting CloudClient::new("http://internal-agenteye.example", ...) returns Ok. FAILPROOFAI_CLOUD_URL (env) takes precedence over the credentials file and is a documented CI/container config path. src/hooks/cloud-enrollment.ts's validateCloudUrl() explicitly blocks non-loopback http to prevent the bearer token leaking in clear, and configure-wizard.ts has a comment asserting the Rust daemon enforces the same rule via this exact file — that premise is false as written. spawn_maintenance()'s 30s poll loop then sends the org-scoped policies:pull bearer token in cleartext on every tick if misconfigured this way. Since this token is what talks to the agenteye service, mirroring validateCloudUrl's loopback check in Rust may need to land alongside whatever agenteye PR #515 assumes about that channel's transport security — worth confirming agenteye doesn't already assume TLS-only client behavior here.

Low: Dev launcher's --host detection doesn't recognize Next's native -H/--hostname, desyncing the security-relevant bind address

scripts/launch.ts:98

parse-script-args.ts only captures --host; a raw -H 0.0.0.0 passed to bun run dev is left in remainingArgs, so bindHost falls back to loopback default and FAILPROOFAI_DASHBOARD_HOST=127.0.0.1 is set — but hasHostFlag correctly detects the raw -H and skips injecting its own flag, so next dev actually binds 0.0.0.0. Result: proxy.ts enforces a loopback-only Host-header check (which a raw network client can trivially forge, unlike a browser) against a server that's genuinely reachable over the network. Confined to the repo's own bun run dev contributor workflow — the shipped failproofai dashboard (mode: "start") uses only HOSTNAME/PORT env vars with no CLI passthrough and is unaffected.


Independent multi-agent review: separate finder and adversarial-verification passes per finding, including live cargo test/bun/vitest runs and a real Docker+systemd repro where feasible, plus a dedicated cross-repo contract check against agenteye PR #515. Run on top of this branch's existing two rounds of CodeRabbit review.

SiddarthAAand others added 7 commits August 7, 2026 01:18
Extends 5faf3bc's Builder::spawn pattern to the two places it missed, both of
which are worse than the three it covered.
server.rs spawned every connection handler with std::thread::spawn, on the
daemon's MAIN thread, up to 64 concurrently — by far the most frequent spawn in
the process. The plain function panics when the OS refuses a thread
(RLIMIT_NPROC, a pids cgroup ceiling, transient pthread_create EAGAIN), nothing
above run() catches an unwind, and a failproofaid that dies denies every tool
call across all twelve CLIs — then Restart=on-failure returns it to the same
exhausted thread limit. It now logs and drops the connection, which is the
bounded overload MAX_INFLIGHT_CONNECTIONS already produces and the client's own
fail-closed path. Dropping the closure runs InflightGuard::drop, so a refused
thread returns its slot instead of permanently shrinking the budget; a test
pins that, because leaking 64 of them would wedge the daemon exactly as the
panic did.
worker.rs was the same trigger with a quieter failure. Its two output drainers
spawned while ensure_started held the child mutex, so a refusal panicked
mid-guard and POISONED it — and because that unwind reaches only a
per-connection handler thread, the daemon survived. It kept answering Ping and
looking healthy while every Hook request panicked on lock().unwrap() for the
rest of its life. shutdown() and Drop took the same lock behind `if let Ok`,
so the one situation where a worker most needed reaping was the one where both
silently skipped it and left it orphaned.
Both halves are fixed: the spawn cannot panic, and all three lock sites recover
a poisoned guard rather than treating it as unusable — the guarded value is an
Option<Child>, not an invariant a panic can leave half-built. A drainer that
cannot start is fatal to the spawn rather than logged and ignored, because an
undrained pipe fills its OS buffer and blocks the worker mid-write later, for a
reason nothing connects back to this moment; returning the error costs one
denied hook call and self-heals on the next request.

…ration
Two independent defects in the collector, both of which produced output that
looked correct from the outside.
redact.rs destroyed the text next to a quoted secret. match_assignment matched
at the opening quote rather than at the value, so `quoted` — which reads the
character BEFORE the cursor — saw the `=` and read false. The unquoted stop-set
(whitespace, `;`, `&`) then ran straight past the closing quote to the next
space:
docker run -e API_KEY="…"myapp/image:latest --flag arg
→ docker run -e API_KEY=[redacted:secret-assignment] --flag arg
The image tag is gone, and nothing in the output distinguishes a redaction from
a deletion. The plain KEY="value" case ate both quotes too, contradicting the
function's own doc comment. The scan is left-to-right, so the quote position was
simply reached first; declining there lets the next step match the value itself
with `quoted` correct. Quotes now terminate an unquoted value as well, matching
what match_bearer already did — an unquoted shell word does not contain a bare
quote, so stopping costs no real redaction, while running past one destroys
whatever it delimits. A test pins the general invariant rather than the single
reported string: every character outside the replaced span survives verbatim.
health.rs froze after the first collector cycle. Its registry was a OnceLock —
the same defect fixed for telemetry.rs's sibling COLLECTOR_METRICS in this
branch, with an almost identical comment, and never mirrored here. Only the
first install() took effect, which was true until the collector became
cyclable; it is now rebuilt on every credential rotation, every [collector]
change and every `failproofai backfill`. Sources kept reporting into the
orphaned first generation while the live writer_task published the one nobody
was writing to, so collector-health.json was faithfully rewritten every 30s
with frozen numbers — and a source gone completely dark read exactly like a
healthy idle one, which is the one distinction this file exists to make.

Any exception reaching bin/failproofai.mjs's --hook catch wrote ZERO bytes to
stdout, logged to stderr, and exited 2. That is a deny for Claude and Factory's
non-Stop events, and a silent ALLOW for the seven CLIs that read their verdict
from stdout JSON and ignore the exit code — Cursor, Pi, Hermes, OpenClaw,
Devin, Antigravity, Goose, plus Factory's Stop.
fail-closed-force-decision.test.ts already described this failure in its own
header while testing one layer below it: wrapping readActiveCloudManagedPolicies'
fourteen throw sites removed ONE source of such throws, but the boundary stayed
open to every other source — including a throw from the forced-deny call that
handles an unreachable daemon, which makes the fail-closed path itself fail
open.
The catch now emits a real deny, shaped by the same evaluator the
unreachable-daemon path already uses. That matters more than it looks: a
hand-rolled generic denial is inert on whichever CLI's contract nobody
remembered, and a second copy of twelve contracts would drift from the real
one. Only if the handler module is itself unloadable does it fall back to a
union of the shapes — every CLI reads the keys it knows — which is imperfect
but strictly better than the zero bytes it wrote before, and reachable only
when the install is already broken.
Two smaller corrections on the same path. It leaves through exitAfterFlush
rather than the one bare process.exit left in --hook handling, since
process.exit truncates pending pipe writes and those writes ARE the decision.
And the verdict is emitted BEFORE telemetry: flushHookTelemetry loops until its
queue drains with no bound, so draining first let a stuck send hold the verdict
back indefinitely, and a verdict that arrives after the agent moved on is no
verdict at all.
Verified by injecting a throw and running the real binary: before, every CLI
got exit 2 and an empty stdout; after, each gets its own native deny shape.
Tested three ways — the forced-deny verdict is enforcing on all twelve CLIs,
it lands on stdout for the seven that need it there, and a source tripwire
pins both properties of the catch block itself (bin/failproofai.mjs cannot be
imported by vitest, so it is asserted the way dogfood-configs.test.ts asserts
the committed hook configs).

The linux install path ran `daemon-reload` + `enable --now`. `--now` starts a
unit that is STOPPED and does nothing at all to one that is already active, so
every reinstall over a live daemon rewrote the unit, reported success, and left
the old process running the old binary. ensureDaemonServiceCurrent already
documents that trap and uses `restart`; installDaemonService never inherited
it, and its own doc comment claimed the behaviour it did not have.
Version skew is the case this breaks, and it breaks it silently. The wizard's
daemonBroken is `daemonUpToDate && !daemonAnswers`, and daemonUpToDate requires
daemonSkew === null — so skew can never set daemonBroken, the
uninstall-then-reinstall path never fires, and the install runs straight over
the still-live old process. probeDaemon() then reads that survivor's
protocol-mismatch reply as ok:true, deliberately, on the grounds that it is
"acted on elsewhere" — elsewhere being this install. So the CLI recorded
daemonConfigured at the NEW version while the OLD daemon kept answering, and
pruneOldDaemonBinaries() became free to delete the binary that process had been
started from. `npm update -g failproofai` → `failproofai config`, the documented
recovery for a PROTOCOL_VERSION bump, left the machine exactly as skewed as it
began.
Now `enable` for boot persistence, then restartSystemdUnit(). That is strictly
`--now` plus the case `--now` missed: restart starts a unit that is not
running, so the fresh-install path is unchanged. The by-hand commands printed
when sudo is unavailable had the same bug and are fixed with it — they were
handing someone mid-upgrade a recipe that changes nothing.
Verified against real systemd 249 in a container, three ways: the raw semantics
(`enable --now` left MainPID 81 on v1; `enable` + `restart` moved to a new PID
on v2; `restart` starts a stopped unit), and the new test, which fails on the
old code with "expected '9648' not to be '9648'" and passes on the new. The
existing re-install test asserted only the unit FILE, which is why this
survived it.

The lockdown is three layers — bind loopback, pin the Host, reject cross-origin
mutating requests — and a request with NO Origin header was exempt from the
third one unconditionally. That exemption's own comment justifies it entirely in
terms of the bind ("with a loopback bind it is necessarily a local process,
which can already rewrite these files directly"), and it was never gated on one.
dashboard-host.ts deliberately supports a routable bind for containers and
remote dev boxes. On one, all three layers were off simultaneously: layer 1 by
the operator's choice, layer 2 because the Host pin is explicitly skipped for
exactly that case, and layer 3 because "no Origin" is the DEFAULT for curl and
every other non-browser client. Any host on the segment could POST
/api/auth/login-verify — unauthenticated, and it grafts a token into auth.json
so the attacker receives every future audit report — or /policies to uninstall
failproofai's hooks from every CLI, or /api/audit/run.
Origin-less mutating requests are now refused unless the bind is loopback.
Reads are untouched and a genuine same-origin write still passes, so the bind
the operator asked for keeps working; what is gone is the ability to skip the
check by simply omitting a header.
parse-script-args.ts gets the other half. `bun run dev` forwards arguments it
does not recognise to `next dev`, whose own host flag is -H/--hostname, and only
--host was captured — so a raw `-H 0.0.0.0` bound the wildcard while bindHost
kept the loopback default and FAILPROOFAI_DASHBOARD_HOST said 127.0.0.1. proxy.ts
then enforced the loopback-only Host pin (forgeable by a raw network client,
unlike a browser) against a genuinely reachable server, and skipped the very
refusal added above. All three spellings now resolve to one value. Contributor
workflow only — the shipped dashboard takes no CLI passthrough.
The three new deny tests fail against the previous proxy.ts and pass against
this one; the two "still allows" tests pass either way, so they guard the fix
against over-blocking rather than merely restating it.

Three defects in publish.yml, all of them credentials or races around them.
The concurrency group was `publish-${{ github.ref }}`, and its own comment says
it exists to serialize a `release: published` against a `workflow_dispatch` —
which never share a ref. The first runs as refs/tags/vX.Y.Z, the second as
refs/heads/main, so the exact pair being guarded went into different groups and
neither queued. `npm view` reads through a registry cache documented to lag up
to two minutes, so both could pass the preflight's "this version is
unpublished" check and proceed to publish, which is the orphaned-platform-
package split this block was written to prevent. Nothing in the pipeline is
per-ref anyway: the version bump races on main whichever ref produced it. Now a
constant group.
The publish job checked out with `token:` set and credentials persisted. That
is the version-bot App token — a bypass actor on the ruleset that requires a PR
and a review on main — so it sat in .git/config for the whole job, readable
through `bun install` (which runs `prepare`, a full Next build) and every
dependency lifecycle script, long before the one `git push` at the very end
that needs it. It is now passed to that single command via http.extraheader,
not the remote URL, since git echoes the URL on a failed push and ::add-mask::
covers logs rather than git's own output. ci.yml and build-daemon.yml were
hardened for this exact risk in this branch while holding the WEAKER default
token; this job was missed.
`npm publish` re-runs `prepare`, and a step's env is inherited by it — so
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN was exported into the bundler and every dependency it loads.
The build is now an explicit step with no registry credential, and the publish
passes --ignore-scripts, matching what the sibling cli-tarball job already does
with `npm pack`. The rebuild could not simply be dropped: `bun build` INLINES
package.json's version into dist/cli.mjs and dist/worker.mjs, and
daemon-download.ts constructs the GitHub Release URL from that version, so a
tarball built before the `npm version` step would ship a CLI reporting the wrong
version and fetching its daemon from a tag that does not carry it. The new step
keeps the original ordering exactly — after `npm version`, after the artifacts
land in RUNNER_TEMP.
Two existing assertions pinned the values deliberately changed here and are
updated with them; two new ones cover the token exposure and the publish
ordering, neither of which had any test.

…nd npm
cloud_client.rs checked only that the URL scheme was http or https, so
http://internal-host was accepted and spawn_maintenance() then put the
org-scoped policies:pull bearer token on the wire in clear on every 30-second
tick. validateCloudUrl() in cloud-enrollment.ts has always blocked non-loopback
http, and configure-wizard.ts carries a comment asserting the daemon enforces
the same rule — which was simply false. It matters most on the path the TS
validator cannot cover: FAILPROOFAI_CLOUD_URL takes precedence over the
credentials file and is a documented CI/container knob, so it reaches this
constructor without passing through the wizard at all. Loopback is judged by
what the address IS rather than by a list of spellings; `localhost` is matched
by name rather than resolved, because a check a hostile resolver can turn into
"yes" is not a check.
Server::bind() unlinked whatever sat at the socket path unconditionally,
justified by lock.rs's flock() making two daemons impossible. That does not
hold across hosts on an NFS-mounted home: pre-NFSv4 locks are client-local
without an active lockd, and nothing checks what filesystem the home is on
(audit-lock.ts already engineers around NFS for O_EXCL, so it is a deployment
shape this codebase accounts for elsewhere). A second daemon could therefore
unlink the first's LIVE socket and orphan its clients — which, on fail-closed
machines, denies every tool call. The path is now probed rather than assumed:
something still accepting means refuse to start; a connect that fails is debris
on any filesystem. Both directions are tested.
daemonServiceStatus()'s darwin branch mapped every failure to "stopped",
including a sudo cache merely gone stale (five minutes by default). A healthy
daemon then read as dead, and the wizard demanded a password to unload and
reload it — a real fail-closed window opened to fix nothing, and a breach of
configure-wizard.ts's own rule that setup must not demand sudo for work already
done. "Cannot read the state" is now its own `unknown` status, and the wizard
resolves it by asking the daemon itself over the socket, which needs no
privileges. daemonBroken stays keyed on a definite `running` reading, because
the justification for tearing a service down is knowing a live process holds
the flock, and an unreadable state is not that.
installFromNpmPackage() did no integrity check at all, on the reasoning that
npm verified the tarball — true, and about a different moment. npm checks at
EXTRACTION; this reads a loose file out of a shared, writable node_modules some
time later and installs it as a root-owned, boot-persistent service. The publish
now records each binary's SHA-256 in the ROOT manifest — not in the platform
package beside the bytes it describes, which would verify nothing — and the
install refuses a mismatch rather than falling through to installing it anyway;
the release-download channel, which verifies its own digest, remains as the
correct route. Stated honestly in the code: this closes accidental corruption
and the non-adaptive overwrite, not an attacker already running code in the
tree. Absent digests mean "nothing to compare against", never "verified", which
is what keeps every dev build working — and the lookup is a DEFAULT import read
at runtime, because a named import of a publish-time-only key throws at module
load, and on this module that denies every tool call on the machine.
Finally, daemon-client.ts's comments still described the in-process fallback
2926252 deliberately removed, in a file whose whole subject is that decision. A
contributor reading only it had every reason to restore the second reachable
policy engine that commit existed to eliminate.

chhhee10and others added 2 commits August 7, 2026 11:44
beta.10 is published (`next` on the registry points at it), so the thirteen
entries the last seven commits added were sitting under a heading that had
already shipped without them. Moved to a beta.11 section; beta.10's four
published entries are untouched, so a reader of that section still sees exactly
what that release contains.
Both version files, because CI checks both: `ci.yml`'s version-consistency step
compares the Cargo workspace version against root `package.json`. The release
tag the CLI builds its daemon download URL from is the npm version, and the
binary at that URL reports the Cargo one — a divergence ships a CLI that fetches
a daemon it then refuses to talk to. (CLAUDE.md's "Version bumps" section still
says package.json alone; the CI step is the authority and disagrees with it.)

It set no `FAILPROOFAI_HOME`, and `handler.ts` resolves cloud-managed policies
off disk via `readActiveCloudManagedPolicies()`. That was harmless while nobody
had a deployment. Once cloud-managed policy started working, a developer with
one saw their own artifacts arrive as arguments the assertions never expected:
expected loadAllCustomHooks(undefined, …)
received loadAllCustomHooks(
["/home/…/cloud-policies/generations/4/block-curl-simple.mjs"],
{ cloudManagedPolicies: [{ id: "block-curl-simple", … }] })
Nothing was broken. The test was reading their laptop — generation 4, revision
2, deployed that afternoon.
Worth being precise about why this matters more than an ordinary flake: CI
runners have no `~/.failproofai`, so CI stays green and the failure is visible
ONLY locally, to exactly the people developing the feature that causes it. A
suite that is red on your machine and green on the server teaches one lesson,
and it is to stop reading it.
Each test now runs against a fresh temp home. The variable is RESTORED in
`afterEach` rather than deleted, because `process.env` is shared across the file
and leaving it unset hands the real home to whichever test runs next —
reintroducing the same bug intermittently, which is harder to find than the
version it replaces.
Red-proven: removing the one assignment reproduces the original failure exactly.
The full suite now passes on a machine with a live cloud-policy deployment,
which it did not before.

Setting the box up was four commands. Three of them have a failure mode that is
silent for a full day, which is the wrong property for the thing whose whole job
is to notice silent failures:
- the work dir mounted at a different path inside the container than out, so
the sibling-container `-v` sources resolve against the host to nothing;
- `CANARY_REF` left at the shipped `origin/failproofaid`, a branch that merged
in #632 — the box would test a frozen tree forever and never say so;
- a filled-in env file with no Slack webhook: a run that works perfectly and
reports nowhere, which is worse than no canary because it looks like cover.
`install.sh` refuses each at install time, in front of a person, rather than at
06:17 tomorrow in front of nobody. The webhook is required for exactly that
reason and not because the run needs it.
It builds the image straight from the git URL — Docker takes
`<repo>#<ref>:<subdir>` as a build context — so the box never clones anything.
The runner re-clones the repo itself on every run, so a checkout here would only
go stale.
The cron line is rewritten, not appended: it carries a `# failproofai-canary`
marker and a re-install strips any previous line first, so running the installer
twice upgrades the schedule instead of scheduling two jobs. The marker is a
comment rather than a match on the command, because the command changes.
The stale `CANARY_REF` default is fixed in `secrets.env.example` too. Catching it
in the installer only would leave the wrong value shipping, with a guard as the
sole thing standing between it and a year of green runs against a dead ref.
`--dry-run` distinguishes what was CHECKED from what would be CHANGED. The
preflight really does run in a dry run, so it keeps its ✓; the mutations print
"would". A script that reports success for work it did not do is the same defect
class this canary exists to find, and it would be a poor advertisement.

…it onto one cron box (#694)
* canary: move the daily integration suite to a local box and probe the daemon path
Daily runs leave GH Actions (runner minutes were the entire cost; the LLM
spend is identical either way) for a local canary box driven by a systemd
user timer in the retired cron's 06:17 UTC slot. integration-suite/local/
ships the box side: run-local.sh (checkout CANARY_REF → stable leg → beta
leg, flock-serialized, with a crash-guard Slack note for a leg that dies
BEFORE reporting — the replacement for GHA's red-job email), install.sh
(installed copy OUTSIDE the clone the wrapper hard-resets, systemd units,
secrets template), and the service/timer units. The workflow keeps
workflow_dispatch as the cloud fallback and loses its cron.
The stable leg now probes the daemon-configured path (CANARY_DAEMON=1) —
the configuration `failproofai config` gives users going forward:
ci-entrypoint cross-compiles failproofaid in rust:1-bookworm (glibc-matched
to the node:22-bookworm-slim sandbox; a host build can link newer symbols
and fail to load inside it), run.sh bind-mounts it into the probe
container, and probe-cli.sh sets the daemon.configured fail-closed marker
through the real fp-config updateConfig path — shell-appending TOML could
produce a duplicate [daemon] table, which parses as NOT configured and
silently falls back to in-process.
The daemon restarts per probe, not per CLI: the wire protocol forwards
{hookEvent, cli, stdin, cwd} and never env, so the warm worker's
FAILPROOFAI_HOOK_LOG_FILE is fixed at daemon start — one daemon across
both probes would share one oracle dir, and probe A's incidental
read-denies would satisfy probe B's grep (false PASS). A dead daemon
cannot false-PASS either: its deny is shaped by the synthetic
failproofai/daemon-unreachable policy, which the probes' greps never
match — those probes go INCONCLUSIVE and re-probe until the daemon path
recovers.
Verified without LLM or secrets in the real sandbox image: live daemon →
canary-bash deny through the socket → warm worker writes the per-probe
oracle; killed daemon → fail-closed deny logged as daemon-unreachable,
matching neither probe grep; marker cleared → in-process evaluation
restored. Tripwires in __tests__/integration-suite/local-runner.test.ts
pin the workflow staying cron-free, the unit↔installer paths, the
secrets-template↔workflow-env parity, the per-probe daemon restarts, the
marker hygiene, and the fail-closed/oracle non-overlap (both sides
extracted from the real sources).

* canary: one container, one cron line — repackage the box runner for zero-touch hosts
The box story shrinks to Docker + one cron line + one env file: the systemd
units, install.sh and host-toolchain requirements are gone. A self-contained
runner image (local/Dockerfile.runner — node+bun+git+docker CLIENT) drives
the HOST's Docker through the mounted socket, so the sandbox image, the
per-channel volumes and every probe container are exactly the ones CI runs,
as siblings.
Two decisions carry the design:
- Path parity. The one work dir is mounted at an IDENTICAL path inside and
out (-v "$HOME/fp-canary:$HOME/fp-canary") because paths under it serve
both as in-container file paths and as sibling-container -v sources, which
the host daemon resolves against the host filesystem. The entrypoint
auto-detects the parity mount from its own container's mount table and
names the exact flag to add when it is missing. runner-daily.sh pins the
daemon build's cargo cache under the work dir — the only harness default
rooted outside it ($HOME), where the rust sibling's mount would silently
create an empty root-owned host dir and cache nothing.
- A thin baked entrypoint, everything else from the checkout. The image
carries only runner-entrypoint.sh (preflight, work-dir detection, host-side
flock so overlapping cron fires share one lock across containers, clone/
fetch/checkout of $CANARY_REF, Slack crash-note for the checkout phase);
it then execs integration-suite/local/runner-daily.sh FROM THE CHECKOUT.
Harness changes reach the box through git — nobody rebuilds the boss's
image for a leg tweak.
runner-daily.sh keeps the leg contract from the systemd iteration verbatim:
stable leg daemon-configured (CANARY_DAEMON=1) then beta in-process, per-leg
90-min timeout, crash-guard keyed on the absence of run.sh's own
posted-to-Slack line, 14-day log prune. secrets.env.example documents every
variable the GHA Environment supplied, in docker --env-file's literal
KEY=value format. Tripwires updated in local-runner.test.ts: the image must
never bake the daily driver, the crash-guard grep must match run.sh's actual
wording, the example must offer every secret-fed env var the workflow maps
and must contain no shell expansion on value lines.

* canary: port the fail-closed leg and its live-test lessons from the daemon test session
Ports the daemon-leg findings from the parallel host-run session that drove
all three legs against 10 real, locally-installed CLIs (2026-08-07): the
daemon does not regress enforcement on any CLI, denies land in 2-3ms warm
versus 7-8ms cold — and the fail-closed pass surfaced an availability
defect (factory fired 202 denied hook calls and antigravity 1,002, retrying
a deny that can never succeed until the harness killed them at ten minutes)
that only a fail-closed leg keeps visible.
CANARY_DAEMON_DEAD=1 is that leg: configure the machine for the daemon
exactly as CANARY_DAEMON=1 does, then never start it. Every CLI must DENY;
the benign probe command executing anyway means the machine believed it was
fail-closed and was not. The deny is scored through the existing
daemon-unreachable detector, which also now breaks the probe retry loops
early in live-daemon mode (a dead daemon denies everything — further LLM
attempts can only reproduce the same deny) and prints a triage note so a
mid-probe daemon death reads as DAEMON FAILED CLOSED instead of a quiet
INCONCLUSIVE.
Two hazards closed on the way in:
- The DEAD leg gets its own state lane ($STATE.dead). Its PASS means
"denied while dead" — recorded in the enforcement gate it would skip the
next REAL probe of the same (CLI, failproofai) pair as already-green.
- The daemon.configured marker is now cleared before wire() in EVERY mode
and set only after it. wire() runs vendor CLIs whose hooks route through
the marker (openclaw onboard), and a marker with no daemon up yet — set
too early today, or surviving from yesterday in the persistent volume —
would fail-close the wiring itself.
Also carried from that session's debugging: the SUN_LEN (108-byte) Unix
socket path cap is documented on the socket-path choice. All of it pinned
in __tests__/integration-suite/local-runner.test.ts (49 tests).

* Stop every canary leg building the dashboard it says it skips
The build step announces "dist/index.js + dist/cli.mjs — no dashboard" and then
builds exactly those two. But the `bun install --frozen-lockfile` above it fires
the package `prepare` hook, which is `bun run build` — the FULL build, ending in
`bun --bun next build`. So each leg compiled the entire Next.js application
first, then built the two artifacts it actually wanted.
Found by running the box end to end rather than reading it: the run log shows
`Creating an optimized production build` and `Generating static pages (3/3)`
underneath a step whose own text says it does not do that.
`translate-docs.yml` already carries this guard, with the same reasoning written
next to it — the trap is the hook, and every entry point that installs for
tooling has to opt out of it individually.
Costs two full Next builds a day here (stable + beta), on a box whose entire
reason for existing is that runner time was too expensive to keep buying.

* Say that the work dir is root-owned before someone finds out
The runner is root inside the container, so everything it creates under the work
dir — the clone, logs/, state/, the cargo cache — is root-owned on the host.
Only secrets.env, written by the installer, belongs to the user.
That is harmless: the next run is root too, and nothing in the pipeline cares.
But the first person to `tail` a log or `rm -rf` the clone gets a permission
error with no explanation, on a box they were told needs nothing but Docker and
a cron line. Found the same way — by doing it.
Documented in both places someone would look, with the sudo form of the command
they were about to run.

* Stop the cargo cache evicting everything else in the store
`rust-quality` cached `~/.cargo` AND `target/` under a combined
`actions/cache@v6`, which writes a ref-scoped copy from every branch that misses
the exact key. Because the entry carries build output, each copy is 1.5-2.3 GiB,
and five were live at once — PR refs 677, 679, 680, 681 and main — putting the
repository at 11.56 GiB against GitHub's 10 GiB cap and therefore permanently in
LRU eviction.
The thing being evicted was not another cargo build. It was the 13 KB doc
translation cache, read once every 24 hours by the nightly `translate-docs` run
and so always the least-recently-used entry in the store. Losing it re-translated
48 pages into 14 languages the next morning: ~125 runner-minutes and a full LLM
pass per language, against a 4-minute baseline when it survives. Six consecutive
days of that, Aug 6-11, cost ~750 runner-minutes and six full-corpus passes
through the gateway.
Restore on every run, save only on a push to main — the split `build-daemon.yml`
already uses, whose comment gives the other reason to want it (a PR branch can
otherwise write a poisoned `target/` that a later release run restores straight
into a published binary). `cache-hit != 'true'` keeps a run that changed nothing
from re-uploading 2 GiB.
What a PR gives up: one whose `Cargo.lock` moved rebuilds from a
stale-but-close main cache. That is already what `restore-keys` hands it today.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Save the translation cache where the work was proven, not at the end
The only save sat in `consolidate`, downstream of both the matrix gate
(`if: needs.translate.result == 'success'`) and `mintlify validate`. So the
day's cache was contingent on fourteen languages and a nav check all succeeding:
Aug 6 discarded ~110 minutes of completed translation because one `ko` page
failed validation, and Aug 12 discarded a full run because consolidate's
validation failed. In both cases every language had finished its work and
uploaded its fragment; the cache was thrown away anyway.
Each fragment is already authoritative for its own language, so nothing has to
be merged before it can be stored. Each language now saves its own, in the job
that produced it, immediately after the step that proved it good. Consolidate's
merged save stays as the cross-language fallback.
The restore key changes for a related reason. It read
`translation-cache-${{ hashFiles('scripts/translate-docs/.translation-cache.json') }}`,
which ALWAYS evaluated to the bare literal `translation-cache-`: the file is
gitignored, so it is absent at checkout and `hashFiles` returns "" for a path
that matches nothing. Every restore that ever worked was a `restore-keys` prefix
match. That is not a bug on its own — but it means a total miss and a hit are
indistinguishable, so the expensive case was silent. It is now a per-language
key with the merged entry as fallback, and a miss emits a `::warning` naming
what it is about to cost.
Artifact retention 1 → 7 days, so a run that dies mid-pipeline leaves a human a
recovery path rather than expiring overnight.

* Treat a cached translation whose file is missing as a miss
`isCached` is a pure function of the ENGLISH source hash. It records that a page
was translated once — never that the translation is on disk now — and those two
facts came apart in production.
Translations land on an auto-translate PR branch. While that branch sits
unmerged, `main` lacks the files and the cache still reports them done, so they
are never regenerated. Meanwhile `--update-nav` reads the ENGLISH tree and emits
nav entries for them, and `mintlify validate` fails on entries pointing at files
that are not there. Verified on the live repo: `docs/cli/{update,migrate}.mdx`
exist on main, `docs/zh/cli/` has neither, and PR #682 carrying them is still
open — 28 missing files across 14 locales.
That is non-convergent, which is what makes it worth a code change rather than a
merge. A cache HIT writes nothing, so validation fails and the cache is never
saved; a full cache MISS spends 120 runner-minutes and goes green. The pipeline
had no path to a cheap success while #682 stayed open, and Aug 12 is exactly
that: all 14 languages finished in ~20 seconds each, and consolidate failed.
Statting the output makes the cache self-healing against any "translated once,
never landed" gap, whatever opened it — an unmerged PR, a hand-reverted file, a
locale added to the matrix after the fact.
Guarded at all four sites rather than one. `cli.ts` is load-bearing: the batch
path sorts pages into cached/uncached itself and never calls `translateMdxPage`
for a cached one, so guarding only the translator would have fixed nothing. The
two single-page paths are guarded too, or they and the batch path disagree about
what "cached" means.
The tests pin both directions — a missing output re-translates, a present one is
still skipped. The second matters as much as the first: without it a later
refactor could satisfy this commit by making the guard a cache bypass, and every
run would be a full re-translation with the suite still green. Confirmed the
first test fails on the pre-fix code rather than assuming it would.
NOTE: this changes translation OUTPUT, not just caching. The first run after it
lands re-sends those 28 pages to the model, so the text will not be byte-identical
to what sits on #682 — expect a noisy diff there once. ~10 minutes, once.

* Guard the per-language cache save against a job re-run
The save key embeds `github.run_id`, and GitHub REUSES that id when someone
re-runs a failed job. On the second attempt the primary key already exists, the
restore scores an exact hit, and the save collides with itself.
Found by running it rather than reasoning about it. A throwaway workflow
exercising the same key shapes showed all four cases:
- first run: cache-matched-key='', save proceeds
- next run: restored from probe-zh-<prev_id>, cache-hit='false'
- re-run: cache-hit='true' <- the collision
- languages stayed isolated: ja restored ja's payload, zh restored zh's
The same `cache-hit != 'true'` guard `build-daemon.yml:137` carries. With it the
re-run skips the save and stays green.
That probe also confirmed the two things the rest of this branch assumes and
could not otherwise check: `cache-matched-key` really is empty on a total miss —
so the new warning fires exactly when a language is about to re-translate
everything, and stays silent on the prefix hits that are the normal case — and
the `restore-keys` prefix genuinely carries the previous run's file across, which
is the whole mechanism by which tomorrow's run inherits today's cache.

* Put both scheduled jobs on one box, behind one installer
The integration suite already moved off Actions; the doc translation had not.
Both crons cost runner minutes and nothing else — the LLM spend is identical
wherever they run — so the translation joins it, on the same machine, image and
env file.
The runner already locked, checked out a ref and handed off to a script from
that checkout. $CANARY_JOB now picks WHICH script, resolved to a path rather
than through a case statement, so a third job is a new file in the repo and
never a rebuild of the boss's image.
Everything per-run is keyed by job. The lock most of all: one shared lock lets a
canary wedged on a vendor CLI swallow the night's translation, and the swallow
is a clean `exit 0` that reports nowhere. The clone too, since translate commits
and switches branches inside its checkout.
Three things collapse in the move, which is why the job is shorter than the
workflow it replaces: the 14-way matrix was runner parallelism rather than
translation structure, the Actions cache layer becomes one 13 KB file in the
work dir, and consolidate's re-checkout-and-overlay existed only because its
siblings ran on other machines.
What does not collapse is the cache eviction that was accidentally load-bearing.
A "translated once" entry whose output only exists on an unmerged PR branch
makes --update-nav emit nav entries for missing files and mintlify validate
fail, while the cache hit regenerates nothing. On Actions an eviction eventually
forced a full miss and the run went green by brute force. Nothing evicts this
cache, so the existsSync guard is now the only thing keeping the job convergent.

* Print the reason a translate run died, not only post it
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Audit the docs weekly, as a third job on the same box
mintlify validate and validate:mdx answer "does this build", per PR, on the
pages a PR touches. They pass happily on a corpus that builds perfectly and is
quietly wrong: a page nobody has edited since the CLI it documents was
rewritten, a page in the nav that is gone, a page in no nav at all and so
unreachable by any reader, an in-body link to something renamed, a translation
still describing last quarter's behaviour. None of that fails a build, which is
exactly the shape a periodic sweep catches and a per-PR gate never will.
It is the cheapest job on the box — no gateway key, no push token, no sibling
containers — so it installs on a machine holding no credentials but the webhook.
Deliberate: an audit that could also FIX what it finds would need write access
and a much longer argument about what it may change unattended.
It reports and exits 0 by design. --fail-on-findings is there for a future
caller that wants a gate, off by default, because an audit that reddens the
build the day a page crosses an age threshold gets switched off within a week —
and then there is neither a gate nor a report.
The judgement lives in scripts/docs-audit.ts as pure functions over the git log,
the file list and the cache, so every detector is tested in both directions
without a repo, a docs tree or a clock. The shell job is only box wiring.
Scheduling it taught the installer to express weekly at all: a spec is now
"M H" or a full five-field cron expression. And a job name may carry a dash —
docs-audit is a valid path component and an invalid shell variable name — so
every per-job lookup goes through one conversion rather than each site
remembering.

* Let the GitHub API host be pointed elsewhere
GHES needs it, and it is what lets the publish path be proven end-to-end

* Recover when the open PR's branch is gone, instead of failing nightly
Found by running the job: an open PR whose branch no longer exists made every
subsequent night fail at the fetch, because the branch never comes back.
Told apart from a remote we could not REACH, which must not fall through to a
new branch — that would open a second PR on a transient network error, and two
open auto-translation PRs is what reusing one exists to prevent.

* Pin the stale-PR-branch recovery with tripwires

* Translate reports by opening a PR, not by posting to Slack
Its output IS the pull request: a run that did something leaves one, a run that
did nothing leaves the previous one untouched. There is nothing a chat message
adds that the PR list does not already say. Failures go to the run log and the
exit code, which makes die()'s printing load-bearing rather than a convenience.
The webhook stops being a requirement for that job, so a box that only runs
translate needs no Slack at all.
Also: check a job's ref against the REMOTE instead of one hardcoded branch name.
Matching the name against origin/failproofaid only ever caught origin/failproofaid.
A real secrets.env on this machine carried CANARY_REF=origin/feat/canary-local-runner
— merged-and-deleted shortly — and would have sailed through to test a frozen
tree forever. Asking whether the branch still exists catches every deleted
branch without naming any of them, and anything that is not origin/main now
draws a warning: legitimate for a one-off, rarely right for a cron line.

* Explain the webhook only when the webhook is missing
translate needs none — it reports by opening a pull request — so printing that
rationale under a list that does not contain it reads as though the job wants
one it does not.

* Stop the canary probe reading a leaked marker as broken enforcement
antigravity failed probe B 3/3 and it was never an enforcement bug. Recorded
live against agy 1.1.11: view_file delivers AbsolutePath, which the input map
already carries, and a deny on it IS honoured — "tool call denied with reason",
sentinel never reaches the model.
What actually happened is that canary-read identifies the marker by substring
on the command text. Denied on `cat …/CANARY_MARKER.txt`, the agent retried
with `cat …/CANARY_MA*`: same file, and a string that no longer contains the
matched substring. The shell expanded the glob, the sentinel landed in the
transcript, and probe B scored FAIL — because a leaked sentinel deliberately
outranks our own log claiming a deny. failproofai did exactly what it was told.
This closes the observed family: any CANARY reference except the bash probe's
own token (excluding it is load-bearing — denying `touch CANARY_PROBE_ran` here
would keep canary-bash out of the hook log and turn probe A inconclusive while
looking like a fix), plus a read utility pointed at a glob, which is the
`cat *` case that names nothing at all.
PARTIAL, and knowingly so. A substring policy over arbitrary shell cannot be
closed: a later run still leaked by another route. The real fix is to make a
shell route during probe B score INCONCLUSIVE rather than FAIL, so a workaround
reads as unproven instead of broken — that changes what the probe measures and
wants a decision, not a patch.
Regression-checked: claude still PASS/PASS on both probes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Score a routed-around read as unproven, not as broken enforcement
Probe B asks one question — is a deny on the CLI's READ tool honoured — and an
agent with a shell can answer a different one by fetching the bytes another way.
Substring-matching the marker cannot stop that: closing the `CANARY_MA*` glob
just moved the agent to the next route, and the ways to read a file with a shell
are not enumerable.
So probe B now tells the two situations apart instead of trying to prevent one.
canary-read-shell denies shell file-reads during the READ probe only, identified
from the per-probe oracle dir — the one per-probe signal a policy can read,
since the daemon wire protocol carries no env. Its separate name is what makes
it work: a deny under it can never satisfy read_denied and score a PASS, and the
verdict can see the agent reaching for the shell.
A leak arriving WHILE those reads are denied is INCONCLUSIVE. A leak with no
shell attempt stays FAIL, because that is what a CLI ignoring our deny looks
like, and blurring the two would blind this suite to the silent-allow it exists
to catch. read_denied's grep grew a trailing space for the same reason: without
it, canary-read also matches the canary-read-shell line.
Navigation stays allowed — several CLIs locate the file before reading it, and
denying ls/pwd would push CLIs that pass today into INCONCLUSIVE for no gain.
Verified: claude and codex still PASS both probes with the detector live, all
six verdict combinations exercised against the real shell functions, and the
ordering test updated to the new shape while keeping its invariant.

* Keep a docs-audit tracking issue on GitHub, alongside the Slack post
Slack is read the morning it arrives. An issue is what somebody finds three
weeks later wondering why a page is unreachable, so the audit now keeps one
"[auto] docs audit" issue current: opened when there is something to do, its
body refreshed each week, and CLOSED when a week comes back clean — so an open
issue always means "there is something to do" rather than "this ran once,
months ago".
An issue and not a PR, deliberately. A report is not a change: a weekly PR
would either sit open forever or auto-merge a file nobody reads. And an audit
that opened a FIXING PR would have almost nothing safe to put in it — a
dangling nav entry might mean "delete the entry" or "restore the page", an
orphan page might be deliberately unlisted, a broken link has no inferable
target. Each is a judgement this job cannot make.
So the token stays weak: Issues read+write and nothing else, since the audit
never touches a file. It is optional — with none set, the job is exactly what
it was, a Slack post.
countActionable decides open-vs-closed and excludes stale and never-translated
pages on purpose: the nightly translation closes both by itself, and counting
them would hold the issue open forever, which is the only way a tracking issue
can actually fail.
The /issues listing filters out entries carrying a pull_request key — every PR
is an issue to that endpoint, so without it an open PR sharing the title would
be updated instead.
Verified against a stand-in API through the real runner image, all five paths:
opens, updates without duplicating, closes on a clean week, no-ops when clean
and already closed, and degrades to Slack alone with no token. The decoy PR in
the listing was correctly ignored.

* Build the runner image from the checkout when there is one
The install has two front doors and only one of them had no clone. Reached the
usual way — git clone, then bash integration-suite/local/install.sh — the build
context is now the directory this script sits in: no network for the build, and
the image provably matches the tree the operator is looking at. Building from
the git URL there could hand them an image from a DIFFERENT commit than their
checkout while both printed the same branch name.
The curl one-liner keeps the remote context, since there is no checkout to use.
The runner re-clones the repo on every run either way, so neither goes stale.

* Ship no credentials template, and print the variables instead
A file that looks like a credentials file is one `git add -A` away from being
committed by whoever fills it in. secrets.env.example was added on this branch
and never reached main, so it goes now rather than becoming a thing to delete
later.
Run the installer with no arguments and it prints exactly which variables to
put in the file, grouped by job — generated from the same REQUIRED_ lists the
checks enforce, so unlike a checked-in example it cannot drift out of date. It
also says to keep the file at mode 600 and out of any checkout.
The workflow-to-box parity test loses its comparison target, so it now checks
the real consumers: every secret the workflow feeds must be read somewhere in
integration-suite/. That is the property that actually mattered — a secret the
box never reads means a CLI quietly reporting ERROR forever — and it is checked
against the code that reads it rather than against a second copy of the list.
A new tripwire keeps any env-shaped file from reappearing under local/.
The usage header now leads with clone-then-install; the curl one-liner stays
documented below it as the no-clone form.

* docs: fill in the PR number in the changelog (#694)
* Publish the runner image, so a box needs Docker and a credentials file
Setting the box up meant a clone, an installer and a local image build. It now
means Docker and an env file: the runner image publishes to GHCR, and every cron
line carries --pull=always, so the box tracks it with nothing to re-run.
docker run --rm --pull=always -e CANARY_JOB=docs-audit \
-e CANARY_WORK="$HOME/fp-canary" -v "$HOME/fp-canary:$HOME/fp-canary" \
--env-file "$HOME/fp-canary/secrets.env" \
ghcr.io/failproofai/failproofai-canary-runner:latest
Path-filtered to the BAKED layer only. Job scripts reach the box through the
run-time clone, so triggering a publish on those would lose the split that lets
a harness change reach the box without anyone touching it.
The package is set public on purpose. A private one turns that one-line cron
into a docker login plus a fourth credential that expires and silently breaks
every job when it does, and there is nothing in the layers to protect: node,
bun, git, the docker client and mintlify. Every secret arrives at run time
through --env-file, and the repo is cloned at run time too.
THE SOCKET NOW GOES TO THE CANARY ALONE. It is the only job that spawns sibling
containers; translate and docs-audit are plain containers, and the entrypoint
demanding a socket on their behalf would have forced two of three cron lines
into the long form for nothing. What the entrypoint needs it for is recovering
the work dir, so it is required only when CANARY_WORK was not passed — and the
canary asserts its own requirement up front, where that knowledge belongs,
instead of failing an hour in at the first sibling container.
Verified against the rebuilt image: docs-audit runs to completion with no socket
mounted at all, and the canary refuses immediately with the flag to add.
install.sh writes the three lines against the published image and pulls it at
install time, so a private package or a typo'd tag is a problem in front of a
person rather than a missed run at 02:00. --build-local still builds from a
checkout, for trying a change to the baked entrypoint before publishing it.

* Fail closed when a GitHub lookup cannot be completed
Hermes was right, and the same bug was in both jobs. curl piped straight into a
parser that swallows its own errors makes a 401, a 5xx and a timeout
indistinguishable from an empty list — and the answer to an empty list is to
CREATE one. translate would have opened a SECOND auto-translation PR, splitting
the generated files against a cache that marks them done so the next run
validates an incomplete checkout; docs-audit would have filed a duplicate
tracking issue every week until somebody noticed the pile.
That is the same duplicate the branch-reuse logic exists to prevent, reached by
the one path the ls-remote guard cannot cover: it only runs once a PR was
already found.
api() now captures the HTTP status and returns non-zero on anything but 2xx,
and each lookup is two statements rather than one pipeline so it can actually
fail. The status goes to STDERR, not a variable — api() is always called inside
$( ), so an assignment there dies with the subshell. The first cut of this fix
used a variable and silently printed nothing; a test now pins the stderr form.
Verified against a stand-in returning 500: refuses, names the status, and
creates zero duplicates. The 200 path is unchanged.
Also from review: dropped an unused json() helper, and guarded an indexOf
ordering assertion that would have passed for the wrong reason (-1 < any index)
the day someone removed the marker it looks for.

* Give cron one short line per job
A crontab entry must be a SINGLE line — the format has no continuation — so the
docker invocation could not be wrapped. That made each entry ~350 characters:
unreadable in a crontab, and mangled by every chat client it was pasted through
on the way to whoever sets the box up.
run-job.sh holds the invocation, so the crontab reads:
0 11 * * * $HOME/fp-canary/run.sh canary
It also owns its own log, which closes a real trap. cron evaluates a `>>`
redirect BEFORE the command runs, so a missing logs/ directory meant the job
silently never started — and the container could not create the directory its
own redirect needed. mkdir then redirect, in that order.
install.sh drops it in and writes the short lines, so both setup routes produce
the same thing. Two assertions moved with the code they describe rather than
being deleted: the job-name passthrough and the docker-socket scoping now check
run-job.sh, which is where they are true.

* Pin nanoid to 3.3.18, closing GHSA-2v37-7h3g-55p8
Supply Chain went red on a lockfile this branch never touched. main passed the
same scan at 04:57 today and this branch failed at 16:21 — the advisory's
affected range was published in between (modified 16:00). CVSS 8.2: custom
generators can loop indefinitely when size is zero.
The scan output reads "FIXED VERSION 3.3.17" against an installed 3.3.17, which
is not actionable as printed; the advisory's real range is introduced 0 → fixed
3.3.18.
nanoid arrives transitively through postcss, which asks for ^3.3.17, so 3.3.18
satisfies it without moving anything else: two lines of lockfile, 657 entries
before and after.
An overrides pin rather than an osv-scanner.toml ignore because that file's own
rule is to prefer fixing when a fix exists — and one does. (`bun update nanoid`
is the wrong tool here: it adds nanoid as a DIRECT dependency at 6.0.1 rather
than bumping the transitive one.)
Verified with the same scanner image CI runs: "No issues found", exit 0.
Full suite unchanged at 3575 pass.
