Scheduled audits: run them on a timer, configure them from the CLI, and email what they find - #698
Conversation
auth.json becomes audit/session.json, next-audit.json becomes audit/reminder.json, and state/audit-schedule.json becomes audit/schedule.json, so one directory answers "what does the audit know about this machine" the way policies/ answers it for enforcement. auditDir is now deliberately absent from HOME_CLASSES. It was classified `derived` wholesale — correct for a directory holding two caches, and a trap the moment a credential moved in, because resettablePaths() is a filter over that table and a reset would have deleted the user's tokens. It is MIXED now and classified per-file, exactly like state/ already is. Two paths join them, and the split between them is the design rather than tidiness: session.json holds the tokens (user-typed), machine.json holds the report id and digest watermark (identity). Both have to outlive a sign-out — regenerate the id and the server sees a new machine on every logout; reset the watermark and the next digest re-reports months of history — so they cannot live in the file a sign-out deletes. The migration is three moves and no deletions, each a rename with a copy fallback for the EXDEV case. A missing source is success (most homes never signed in); an existing destination wins, since re-running the step is what happens when a later step throws and the user retries. session.json's 0600 is reasserted rather than assumed, because the copy fallback inherits the umask. All three are backed up first: auth.json is a live credential that, unlike every other file in that list, was never on a delete list and so has never had a copy taken before a migration touched it. next-audit.json is MOVED rather than retired even though the scheduled-audit work replaces reminders — deleting it before that lands would drop a cadence a person chose, with no way back if the follow-up slipped. Also fixes two landmark bugs in detectLayout() that the bump exposed, both silent data loss: - `config.toml` with no `config.json` returned LAYOUT_VERSION - 1, which read correctly at 3 and reported a real layout-2 home as 3 at 4. Only the 3 -> 4 step would run, moving nothing and stamping the home current, so config.toml and credentials.toml were never carried into JSON and the cloud token and daemon.configured were orphaned. A landmark identifies ONE layout and is never relative to what this build speaks. - `config.json` proves "3 or later" and cannot separate them, so a layout-3 home that lost its VERSION was called current, the move never ran, and the user was signed out with auth.json still on disk. What separates 3 from 4 is where the audit's files sit, so it asks that directly; with none present the layouts are identical on disk and current is correct.

Two helpers in audit_lane_e2e.rs carried the old location: schedule_path() wrote and read state/audit-schedule.json, and the unwritable-home test made `state` a regular file to force create_dir_all to fail. Both are spelled out rather than derived from paths.rs, deliberately — a test that asked the code under test where the file goes would keep passing if the daemon moved it somewhere the dashboard never reads. The cost is that they have to be updated by hand when the path moves, which is this commit. The second one is the reason to say so out loud: blocking the wrong directory does not fail loudly, it lets the write succeed and leaves the test asserting against a complaint that never comes.

High: Migrate or preserve custom auth-directory filenames
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:47 - Evidence: With FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR set, getAuthFilePath() now reads /session.json (line 47) and getReminderFilePath() reads /reminder.json (line 54). Existing installations used /auth.json and /next-audit.json. The new migration only moves legacy paths resolved from FAILPROOFAI_HOME, so it never moves files in the custom directory. Reproduction: a valid existing /auth.json is followed by readAuth() returning null after this change.
- Required change: Keep auth.json and next-audit.json as the filenames when FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR is set, or explicitly migrate those override-directory files before switching readers. Add a regression test starting with a custom directory containing the legacy files.

The reminder and "invite a friend" buttons share one AuthDialog, and which one opened it was tracked only as `authCopy` — the headline and subhead to show — while handleAuthed unconditionally called persistReminder. So the dialog knew which button had been pressed for the purpose of its own COPY and not for the purpose of its own EFFECT, and the invite path did the reminder path's work: click "invite a friend", read "Oops! Login required", sign in, and you got a 7-day reminder you never asked for and no invite dialog. The actual intent went on the floor. An explicit `pendingAction` carries the intent now, and the copy is DERIVED from it so the two cannot disagree. The cadence travels inside the action rather than being read from state at resume time, so the reminder that lands is the one whose button was pressed even if something re-rendered in between. Dismissing clears it — leaving it set would make the next sign-in, from any CTA, resume something the user had walked away from — and "no pending action" is now expressible at all, which it was not before. The tests were the other half of why this shipped: they covered which COPY each CTA shows and nothing else, so they were exactly as green on the broken version as on the fixed one. Three now pin the effect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

High: Preserve custom auth-directory filenames
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:47 - Evidence: With FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR set, getAuthFilePath() now resolves /session.json and getReminderFilePath() resolves /reminder.json. Before this PR both resolved auth.json and next-audit.json, and migrateToLayout4() only moves files under FAILPROOFAI_HOME. Thus an existing override directory retains valid legacy files but readAuth()/readReminder() return null after upgrade. The current auth-store tests use the helpers to create files, so they do not cover the legacy filenames.
- Required change: Keep auth.json and next-audit.json when FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR is set, or explicitly migrate the override directory before switching readers. Add a regression test seeded with legacy files in a custom auth directory.
1 advisory finding
- Medium/High Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails — When audit/session.json already exists, migrateToLayout4() catches and ignores an rmSync(from) failure for legacy auth.json, then continues to writeVersionFile(). A permission or filesystem error therefore leaves the old bearer credential at the unmanaged root path while VERSION says layout 4, so normal migration retries no longer remove it. (
src/hooks/migrations.ts:145)
A new `[audit] email_enabled`, SEPARATE from `auto`. `audit --help` promises the scan "runs fully offline — no account or network required", and that has to stay true for anyone who wants scheduled scanning and nothing else. Off by default, for a stronger version of `auto`'s reason: the failure direction is a machine mailing an account nobody pointed it at. ## The window is applied per event, not through --since --since filters on transcript MTIME. That is right for deciding which files to open and wrong as a window: a session left open for a month has a fresh mtime, so --since 7d hands back that whole transcript including month-old events, and the first digest anyone received would describe everything their agent had ever done as though it happened that week. So the scan stays unfiltered and the window is applied in harm-report.ts, against the timestamps AuditCount already carries. Where activity straddles the boundary it counts the EXAMPLES inside the window rather than the policy's total — the cache stores counts, not event lists, so there is nothing to subtract. Undercounting is the safe direction: the server's threshold reads these, so it can delay a digest but never invent one. ## Harm is deny + sanitize, plus one by hand severityForBuiltin derives severity from the NAME PREFIX, so `protect-env-vars` reads as `warn` despite blocking `env`/`printenv` outright. Its whole subject is an agent reaching for the environment, which is the "read my keys" case this exists to report. Inheriting a scoring heuristic's blind spot into a security digest would be the wrong kind of consistency — so it is listed explicitly rather than by rewriting a function that feeds every historical score. ## One definition of "secret" SECRET_PATTERNS is exported from builtin-policies.ts, so blocking and redacting share a list instead of growing a second one beside it that eventually disagrees — and the direction it would disagree in is a live credential leaving a machine. The sanitize-* FUNCTIONS could not be reused: they are detectors returning a deny, not transforms returning scrubbed text. Masking runs BEFORE path-shortening. Shortening can cut a path mid-token, and a credential sliced in half stops matching its own pattern and ships as a fragment. ## machine.json is `identity`, and separate from the session Both its fields must outlive a sign-out: regenerate the id and the server sees a new machine on every logout, burning a cap slot and splitting one box's history in two; reset the watermark and the next report re-covers months. The id is minted fresh rather than reusing state/telemetry-id, so opting into a digest never links the anonymous telemetry person to a verified address. ## The child does this, never the daemon Refresh rotation is theft-detecting. Keeping the token inside the audit lock — which already serialises every entry point — is what stops a cross-process race from revoking every session a user has. Scheduled runs only, and nothing here can fail a scan: every error is an outcome, so a dead network or an expired session leaves the local audit working and its dashboard correct.

High: Redact secrets before the audit example is truncated
- Rule:
SEC-001 - Location:
src/audit/harm-report.ts:157 - Evidence: The new outbound path redacts only at
src/audit/harm-report.ts:157, but audit capture has already truncated the command/snippet to 80 characters atsrc/audit/index.ts:144. A full connection string or token-bearing command can trigger a sanitize policy before truncation, then lose the delimiter or remaining token characters thatSECRET_PATTERNSneeds to match. The remaining credential fragment is sent inharmful[].examplesto/v0/audit-reports. - Required change: Apply secret masking before
truncateExamplestores examples, or retain truncation metadata and omit every truncated example from the outbound payload. Add a regression test with a secret whose terminating delimiter lies beyond the original 80-character limit.
High: Preserve legacy filenames when FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR is set
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:47 - Evidence: Before this PR, the override directory was read as
<override>/auth.jsonand<override>/next-audit.json; the new code reads<override>/session.jsonand<override>/reminder.jsonatlib/auth/auth-store.ts:47and:54. Layout migration only operates under the managed home, so it cannot migrate an externally selected directory. Existing override users are therefore signed out and lose their persisted reminder after upgrade. - Required change: Keep
auth.jsonandnext-audit.jsonfor the override path while using layout-4 names only in the managed home, or implement an explicit, safe migration for the externally configured directory.
High: Fail the migration when stale credential cleanup fails

A failed cleanup of legacyauth.jsontherefore permanently leaves a second bearer credential at the old root path while marking the home as layout 4, preventing a retry from cleaning it up. - Required change: Propagate the cleanup error (or otherwise leave the layout marker at 3) so the migration retries safely; add a test that forces deletion failure with an existing destination.

The two questions a person has after reading their audit — "can this happen automatically" and "will it tell me" — were answered on a separate page they had no reason to visit. The controls now sit under the report they act on, as two panels in section 05: scan settings at 1.3fr against the share card's 1fr, per the mock. /settings is removed rather than redirected. It held nothing else, and the navbar is left with the three pages that are actually destinations. The panel carries the daemon's state as a pill, because "scheduled scanning is on" is not the same claim as "scheduled scanning will happen" — a panel that hid the difference would present a stopped service as a feature that simply does not work. ## Reminders are gone entirely /api/auth/reminder, the cadence buttons, scheduleReminder/cancelReminder, the reminder half of /api/auth/status, and the readReminder/writeReminder store. The api-server deleted /v0/reminders in the same release so the client calling it would 404 — and more to the point, the machine now audits itself and mails a digest when it finds harm, so there is nothing left to nudge anyone about. audit/reminder.json is retired into `legacy` and cleared by the next reset. The layout-4 step still MOVES next-audit.json there rather than deleting it: a migration that destroys something a person chose is a different act from one that relocates it, even when the thing is obsolete. ## Two switches The email switch is separate from the scan switch and is the only one that needs a sign-in — `audit --help` promises the scan runs fully offline, and keeping them apart is what keeps that true. Turning email on while signed out opens the shared dialog and resumes; the server action refuses an anonymous enable rather than storing a switch that reads as on and does nothing. Signing out turns emailed reports off with it. The alternative is a machine that scans, finds something, and has nothing to send it with — discoverable only by noticing that no email ever arrives.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.
Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.
High: Migrate sessions stored through FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:48 - Evidence: The documented override previously stored the session as /auth.json, but getAuthFilePath() now unconditionally reads /session.json (lib/auth/auth-store.ts:48). The layout-3-to-4 migration only moves legacy.authJson() under FAILPROOFAI_HOME (src/hooks/migrations.ts:140), so it never moves an override directory. An upgraded user of this documented setting is treated as signed out; the old refresh token is also left untracked and will not be deleted by later logout.
- Required change: Keep the override filename compatible, or add an atomic auth-store migration/fallback from <FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR>/auth.json to session.json that preserves mode 0600 and removes the old file. Add an upgrade test with the override set.
1 advisory finding
- High/High Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails — When a destination already exists, migrateToLayout4() catches and ignores an rmSync failure for the old source (src/hooks/migrations.ts:151-155), then continues to write VERSION as layout 4 (line 185). This is reachable after a partial copy/rename retry when auth.json is temporarily undeletable. The old bearer credential remains at the root permanently because future runs see the home as current; a subsequent logout only handles audit/session.json. (
src/hooks/migrations.ts:152)
Round 4 of 5. If the next review still finds something blocking, I will summarize what is left, withdraw this change request, and stop reviewing this pull request until someone asks me to start again.
Still open:
- F1 Migrate sessions stored through FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR (
lib/auth/auth-store.ts) — open since round 1 - F2 Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails (
src/hooks/migrations.ts) — noticed at round 2, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked
If one of these is not worth fixing, @hermes-exosphere dismiss <id> [reason] waives it for the rest of this pull request and gives the review another round.
Three fixes, all found by running the whole stack against a real machine rather than a fixture. ## A first report covered all of history With no watermark the window was "everything". Against 230 sessions and 22,059 tool calls that produced 5,815 findings — every number true and the digest still wrong: somebody's first email would describe their agent's entire recorded history as though it were this week's news, and would trip the critical-policy bypass on day one for essentially everyone. A first report is now bounded to one interval_days back from the scan, so the opening digest covers the same period every later one does. The same run then reports 17. The older findings are not lost, they are simply not news — they are on the dashboard, which is where a full history belongs. `includeUnplaceable` moves to keying on "is this the first report" rather than "is there a lower bound", since a first report now always has one. ## A truncated secret shipped as a fragment A real digest came back containing `authorization: Bearer s`. The audit caps every example at 80 characters at CAPTURE time, long before the redactor sees it, so a command ending in a credential arrives with the credential's tail already gone and the full pattern no longer matches it. That is the exact failure the mask-before-shorten ordering guards against, arriving from upstream instead of from our own transform. A second pass masks a known secret prefix sitting at the END of a string, on the assumption it was cut. One character is not a usable secret; the point is that the number was set by where the truncation happened to land rather than by anything we control, and the same shape with a longer prefix ships more. ## /dev/null was being shortened to /…/null Which reads as though something was hidden when nothing was. Kernel and device roots are identical on every machine and identify nobody. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

I have spent 5 rounds of review on this pull request and I am still finding things to block on. At that point I am no longer the useful reviewer here, so I am standing down and leaving the decision to a person. I have withdrawn my change request, so I am no longer blocking this pull request. I have also stopped reviewing new commits on it. What I last reviewed: Still open:
None of this is a judgement that the findings above are wrong. It is a judgement that another round of me is not what will settle them. |
Hermes spent 5 rounds on this pull request without converging and has stood down. This change request is stale and should not block the merge.
The controls sit at /settings again, reached by a gear in the header between
the refresh controls and reach-us. An icon, not a fourth nav tab: the tabs
are views of DATA (projects, policies, audit) and this is machine
configuration, so putting it in that row would have claimed it was another
place to look at results.
Section 05 keeps one job and is now "spread the audit" — the share card and
nothing else. A report should not end in a settings form.
The panel is built from what the service actually has (a state, a timer, an
identity), on the app's existing tokens and existing chrome — `.panel` and
its corner brackets, `.btn-press` and its hard pixel offset. One drawn
element: a schedule tape showing where this machine sits between the last
scan and the next, because that is a POSITION and no number shows a position
at a glance. It renders nothing without two real ends — a machine that has
never run a scheduled scan is not inside an interval, and a rail claiming
otherwise would be decoration.
## One switch, not two
`audit.email_enabled` is gone. Scheduling and mailing are the same decision —
the reason to put a scan on a timer is to be told what it found — so two keys
could only ever disagree, and a timer with nobody to tell is a switch that
reads as on and produces nothing.
"Signed out with the timer on" is therefore DERIVED from the session rather
than stored, and the page names it ("scans continue, digests are paused")
rather than preventing it. Auth gates setting the timer up, never the
machine's ongoing work: a refresh token expiring must not silently switch off
a background feature somebody configured months ago.
## Server-rendered, not fetched after mount
The client-side version painted "off. nothing runs and nothing is sent." and
then flipped to the truth — a page whose whole job is to say whether a
security feature is on spending its first frame saying the opposite. It reads
local files, so there was never a latency reason to defer it. `nowMs` is the
one thing still seeded on the client, deliberately: a server clock would put
the tape's marker where the browser then corrects it.
Also fixes a test that exhausted a 4GB worker heap. The PostHog mock returned
a fresh `vi.fn()` per call, so `capture` changed identity every render and
AuthDialog's effect — which lists it as a dep — re-fired forever. The same
trap is already documented in auth-dialog.test.ts; this one just repeated it.

The test fed it a hardcoded `/home/sidd/clients/big-bank/.env` and expected `~/…/.env` — which holds on the box that wrote it and nowhere else. On CI, HOME is /home/runner, so the same input correctly redacts to `/…/.env` and the assertion failed. The path is now built from `homedir()`, so the test is about the REDACTION (no project name survives, the basename does, the tilde marks it as under home) rather than about whose laptop ran it. Reproduced locally by overriding HOME before fixing, which fails identically to CI, and re-checked after — the whole audit suite passes under a foreign HOME too. The other hardcoded paths in redact-example.test.ts are fine: those call sites pass `home` explicitly as a parameter, so the test controls it rather than inheriting it.

`failproofai audit --schedule [days]` / `--no-schedule` / `--status`. The switch existed only on a settings page, in a browser. failproofaid is a SYSTEM service — WantedBy=multi-user.target, starts at boot, no login, survives logout — built for exactly the machines that cannot open one: headless boxes, detached tmux, cron, CI runners. The feature shipped with no way to turn it on where it matters most. Parity is structural rather than promised. Every write calls the same `updateConfig` the dashboard's server actions call; the session goes through the same `auth-store`. One config.json, one audit/session.json, one writer for each — so a value set on either side is the value the other reads, verified live in both directions. Terminal sign-in reuses requestLoginCode/verifyLoginCode and writes the same 0600 session file, so logging in here shows up in the browser. Two orderings decide whether a half-finished command leaves state behind, and both are tested: a bad day count is rejected BEFORE sign-in, so a typo never costs a round of OTP; and --schedule requires a session (scheduling and mailing are one decision) while --no-schedule never checks, because an expired session must not trap somebody into keeping a feature they are trying to disable. Turning it on reports the daemon's state, since config saying "on" with nothing running it is the same silent failure the settings panel exists to expose. A non-interactive terminal gets one sentence instead of a hang on a prompt nobody will answer. Two doc comments in app/actions/ claimed the `failproofai config` wizard already wrote these keys. It never did — the wizard calls updateConfig zero times — so they are corrected rather than left describing a command that did not exist.

Two rows drawn as one instrument: a stat row (daemon, next scan, last scan, findings) over a panel row carrying the controls beside what the scan actually does. The page answered one question — is the toggle on — and now answers the two anybody has in front of a background service: what it is doing right now, and what it does with what it finds. Built on the shipped tokens rather than the design doc's own palette and two new webfonts, so /settings and /audit stay one product a click apart. The doc's third hue is dropped rather than introduced: pink is this brand's only channel for "needs a person", and a new rule for one page is not a rule. Three of the four stats needed no new storage, and two are better than the doc assumed. The countdown reads the daemon's own next_due_at_ms instead of last-scan-plus-interval, which drifts the moment the interval changes mid-cycle. The daemon cell keeps daemonServiceStatus()'s four answers, because "installed but its binary is missing" is a different fix from "it crashed" and a heartbeat cannot tell them apart. `findings` reports this scan, not a lifetime total — that would have meant a counter, a writer on two paths, and a decision about what a reset does to it. readDashboardCacheMeta now returns the counts with the timestamp and still bypasses the TTL on purpose: the reader that drops an aged entry is right for rendering results and backwards for a stat whose subject is that the scan was a while ago. Reading the time from one function and the counts from the other is how a page shows "6 days ago" beside a blank count. An unreadable count renders as em-dash, never 0 — scanned-and-clean is not the same claim as failed-to-parse. daemonStartedAtMs reads systemd's monotonic activation stamp, not the printed ActiveEnterTimestamp: that format (Fri 2026-08-14 19:45:13 IST) is rejected by Date.parse on most timezone abbreviations and mis-parsed on the rest, and a settings page claiming the daemon started in the future is worse than one that says nothing. It returns an absolute time so the page keeps counting without re-fetching, and null on macOS rather than a guess. The schedule tape survives, under the panels: the stats give numbers, the tape gives a position, which is the one thing no number shows at a glance.

The label read `━━ audit · first run` in three colours — pink rule, dim dot, mint text — presenting one fact as three things on a line. `.section-label .glyph` was declared twice, in globals.css and again in audit/audit-styles.css, and the audit copy loads second. Changing only the first one edited a value nothing read, and the page kept rendering pink; both inherit now, so the two files cannot silently disagree again. /settings drops its `━━ this machine ━━` eyebrow — the h1 already says settings and the page is about this machine either way — and its tagline becomes "keeping watch, so you don't have to." Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Turning scheduled audits on asks the api-server who you are, while the page
reads "reports go to …" off the local session file. The two disagree exactly
when a session has expired or was minted against a different api-server — the
common case, not an edge one — so the toggle took the signed-in path and the
click dead-ended on "could not turn that on.", with no dialog and no next step.
Catching the refusal was not available: Next masks a thrown server-action error
before the browser sees it, so the client receives an opaque digest and never
the message. Matching on the text would have worked in development and silently
degraded to a generic failure in production, which is what shipped.
So the refusal is RETURNED — `{ok: false, reason: "signed-out"}` — a
discriminant that survives the boundary. The page re-reads before opening the
dialog, or it would ask for an email while still displaying one. Turning
scheduling OFF is still never refused.
Also: the settings panel's "sends" line stops claiming "only counts and
redacted examples". The report carries the machine's name too, which routinely
carries its owner's, and very nearly true is the worse kind of claim when the
reader can check it against the same email. It now lists all three, in the
order the digest states them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>Four of thirteen review findings survived checking against the code. The others were stale — the truncated-secret leak and the machine-dependent CI assertion are already fixed, and three cite a component that has since been rewritten. **The redactor emitted the username.** `/home/sidd` shortened to `~/…/sidd`, keeping the name as the basename directly after the `~` whose whole job is to stand in for it. The one path guaranteed to identify a person was the one path spelled out, and it reached the api-server in `harmful[].examples` and the digest email. The home directory is `~` now, and nothing more. That fix exposed a second defect under it: `underHome` was a bare `startsWith`, so a home with a trailing slash did not match itself — turning off home detection for exactly the path that most needed it — and `/home/u2` matched `/home/u`. The boundary is checked, once, outside the replace callback. **A policy straddling the window's upper edge reported hits from after it.** `wholly` tested the lower bound alone, so a policy that started inside the window and was still firing after it closed sent `count.hits` — every hit, including those past `to` — while its examples were filtered to the window. Those hits also fall inside the NEXT window, since the watermark advances to `to`, so one occurrence was reported twice. Both edges are checked now; a straddle at either falls back to the examples actually inside. **`FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR` signed people out on upgrade.** A documented env var naming a directory outside the managed home, and every path in the layout-4 step comes from FAILPROOFAI_HOME — so that directory was never visited, the file stayed `auth.json`, layout 4 read `session.json`, and the session vanished with no message. Scans kept running, digests quietly stopped. The step migrates that directory too. **A failed cleanup marked the migration successful.** With the destination already present the step dropped the layout-3 original and swallowed any error, then stamped layout 4 — leaving `auth.json`, a live bearer token, at the home root where nothing would read it again and nothing would clean it up. It propagates now: the home stays at layout 3 and the next command retries, which is what runMigrations documents a failed step to mean. The rmSync regression test fails for real rather than by mock — a directory where the file should be, since `force` suppresses ENOENT and nothing else, and an ESM import bound at load time would never see a spy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each demonstrated before it was touched. **The digest went permanently quiet on mature machines.** A policy straddling the window falls back to counting its in-window examples, and the audit keeps at most three per policy in transcript-walk order. On a machine months into its history those three are routinely all old, so a policy that fired an hour ago scored zero and the row was dropped — and since firstSeen never moves back past the watermark, it was dropped from every later report too. The module docs call this "a delayed digest"; it is a feature that stops working the longer you use it. Where lastSeen itself falls inside the window that timestamp is a real in-window event, so the count floors at one instead of vanishing. **A failed migration could strand a home as "current" forever.** Every step ends at writeVersionFile(), which stamped LAYOUT_VERSION rather than the step's own `to` — harmless while every chain was one hop, a trap the moment this release made one two. On 2 → 3 → 4 the first step stamps 4, so a 3 → 4 that throws leaves detectLayout() reporting `current`: nothing retries, auth.json stays at the root while layout 4 reads audit/session.json, and the machine is signed out with its own session on disk. writeVersionFile now honours the `layout` its signature always accepted and its body ignored; a failed step restores the marker to step.from, and only when it already claims to be current. **A pasted OTP killed the sign-in.** The server validates the code at 4..12 characters, so pasting "Your code is 123456" returns validation_error rather than invalid_code — and the retry loop only re-prompts on invalid_code. It aborted and cost a fresh email. The prompt is bounded at both ends now. **One failed refresh blanked a healthy console.** reload's catch closed over a `view` frozen at first render, so on a page the server could not seed it stayed null forever and the next transient failure — a tab hide fires the same listener — replaced a working console with an error. **An interval edit was silently dropped.** 7 → 14 → 7 compared the second write against a stale mirror, decided nothing changed, and skipped it: input reading 7, config saying 14. Also: audit_share_section_shown latched before the auth probe resolved, so every view ever recorded carried signed_in: false. And the "turns OFF" settings test mocked a shape the SetAutoAuditResult union forbids, so its branch never ran and it asserted only that the action had been called.

The email and the code were four loose lines with no logo, no spine and no close — the one moment this command asks for something personal, looking like a different tool from `failproofai config`. They are now two steps of one flow in the same frame: logo, │ spine, ◆/◇ glyphs, pink └. The address is echoed back on the settled step. A typo in it is the likeliest reason no code ever arrives, and that step is the last place to notice before somebody starts waiting for one. **A pasted code works.** The code is numeric, so "Your failproof code is 123456", a copied "123 456", and a trailing space all resolve to the digits. Pasting the line out of the email was rejected for length before — and since the server answers a too-long code with `validation_error` rather than `invalid_code`, the retry loop treated it as fatal and the sign-in aborted for a fresh email. Input with no digits at all is refused at the prompt rather than spending one of the server's five attempts. Not masked, deliberately: a login code is single-use and expires in minutes, so hiding it protects nothing and costs the only thing that matters there — seeing your own typo before you press enter. The prompt's hint now steps aside as soon as you type. It is a placeholder, and a placeholder sitting beside a real answer is the arrangement most likely to make somebody wonder which one is theirs. `--schedule` and `--no-schedule` speak the same vocabulary, and the frame appears only when a flow actually happened — signing in draws it; an already-signed-in machine gets a compact confirmation, because a spine with no beginning reads as an unfinished wizard. `--status` stays a two-column readout for that reason: it is a snapshot, not a flow. Its colour now answers to the same `colorsEnabled` gate as the rest, where it used to emit ANSI into piped output with no structure to go with it. New in the toolkit: `step`/`stepOpen` (the settled and open blocks `selectOne` already drew privately) and `PromptTextOptions.prefix`, so a prompt can sit on the spine — part of its own line, because the prompt erases that row on every keystroke and anything written there beforehand is gone by the first character. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Signing in asked two questions, and only one of them needs a person at that moment. `--schedule --email you@yourdomain.com` answers the first, leaving the code — which has to be read out of a mailbox, and which no flag can shortcut. The address is validated at the CLI boundary, beside the day count, so a typo fails as a usage error before a frame is drawn or a code is sent. It is still shown as a settled step: a flag is exactly where a wrong address hides, and that step is the last place to notice before somebody waits for mail that is going elsewhere. A DIFFERENT address on a machine that is already signed in is refused, naming both and how to switch. Where a machine's digests go is not a thing a flag should change quietly — that is the sort of change nobody notices until the mail stops. The same address proceeds without prompting, compared case-insensitively because a mail server does. No `--code` flag, deliberately. It would land in shell history and sit in `ps` for every other user on the machine, and a short life is not the same as harmless. The argument parser is positional now. It matched values against a set of seen strings, which cannot tell one flag's argument from another's. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
It said the migration is "three moves and no deletions" and then, two sentences later, that a stale original is dropped. Both were describing real behaviour — the step deletes exactly one thing, a legacy source whose destination already holds the authoritative copy — but "no deletions" is the wrong summary of that, and the entry is what somebody reads before deciding whether an upgrade can lose them a credential. Also states what happens when that removal fails, which the entry never mentioned: it propagates, so the home stays at layout 3 and retries rather than being marked migrated with the credential still at the root. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`protect-env-vars` is in the harm digest's set and its dominant trigger is `export VAR=…`, whose example is the whole command. SECRET_PATTERNS matches nine vendor-prefixed formats, a JWT, a literal `Authorization: Bearer` and a fixed non-HTTP scheme list — none of which is an assignment. So `export DATABASE_PASSWORD=hunter2-prod-acme` left the machine verbatim, and `export` is ubiquitous in agent sessions. maskAssignedSecrets covers the three shapes that gap left open: `NAME=value` where the name says credential, `scheme://user:pass@host` on any scheme, and curl's `-u user:pass`. The name is kept and only the value masked, because which credential leaked is the actionable half. It runs last of the three passes so the vendor patterns keep first refusal on anything they can label precisely. These patterns live in the redactor rather than in the shared SECRET_PATTERNS deliberately. The two jobs have opposite error costs: sanitize-* BLOCKS a tool call, so a name-based rule there denies work the user wanted; redaction only removes characters from a digest, so it can afford the wider net. Two misfires in the same file: - Every prefix in SECRET_PREFIXES was unanchored, so `sk-` matched inside ordinary words: `kubectl get pods -n risk-scoring` redacted to `… -n ri[REDACTED: OpenAI API key]`, inventing a credential the digest then reported and destroying the token that said which command ran. - shortenPaths deleted a URL's host as though it were a directory, so `curl https://evil-cdn.example.com/install.sh` came out `https:/…/install.sh` — the domain is the entire security decision in that finding.

…achine `reportHarm` gated every network send on `config.audit.auto` alone. Through 1.0.0 that key meant "scan this machine locally on a timer" and nothing more: no account, no network, `setAutoAuditAction` had no auth check at all, and the toggle that wrote it said in as many words that nothing leaves the machine. Harm digests gave the same stored bit a second job. Any machine with `auto` already true and a session on disk — which the reminder and invite flows already created, and which migrateToLayout4 carries forward intact — would have uploaded redacted transcript excerpts and mailed a digest on its first scheduled run after upgrading, having agreed to nothing of the kind. The only notice was a stdout line that on a headless box goes to the journal. The new consent gates only ever fired at ENABLE time; nothing re-consented a machine that was already enabled. So sending is now gated on `audit.reports_consented_at`, stamped in the same write as `auto` by both opt-in paths — the CLI's `--schedule` (after its sign-in) and the dashboard toggle (after its whoAmI check, looking at the panel that enumerates what gets sent). This is not the second switch the config's own comment rejects and is never drawn as one: `auto` is what a person sets, this records the disclosure they saw, and nothing can set one without the other. A grandfathered machine keeps scanning locally, sends nothing, and gets a line saying how to turn digests on. Also fixes the signed-out line, which pointed at an audit-page sign-in this release moved behind "invite a friend".

This release moves the failproofai home to layout 4, and failproofaid calls refuse_foreign_layout() before it binds its socket: a binary built against layout 3 exits rather than serve a layout-4 home. refuse_foreign_layout is not new — it shipped in 1.0.0, whose paths.rs says LAYOUT_VERSION = 3 — so every already-installed daemon refuses once the marker moves. Nothing refreshes the binary on upgrade: refreshDaemonToCliVersion has one non-test caller (`failproofai update`) and there is no postinstall. So the first ordinary CLI command migrates the home and arms the failure, and nothing looks wrong, because the running daemon read the marker once at startup and keeps serving from memory. It lands at the next reboot or restart: the unit exits nonzero, Restart=on-failure trips the start limit, the service latches failed, and a daemon-configured machine that cannot reach its daemon denies every tool call across all 11 CLIs. healDaemonFlag() does not rescue it — a layout-refusing unit reads as `stopped`, which it deliberately excludes. The stale branch of checkLayoutForCli — the branch that performs the migration — was the one path emitting no daemon hint at all; it was only on the return below it. And that hint told everybody a stale daemon "is slower to notice an upgrade, not broken", which across a layout bump is false, pointing at `failproofai config` rather than `failproofai update`. staleDaemonHint now branches on daemon.configured: machines that require the daemon are told the service can be left down and what that costs, machines evaluating in-process keep the mild line, which is accurate for them.

**The migration's session backup outlived the migration.** The layout-4 step copies auth.json aside before moving it, which is right — a move with a bug in it is a deletion. Keeping that copy forever is not: migrationsDir is classed `identity`, so no reset class removes it, and deleteAuth() only ever knew about the live path. A dashboard sign-out, a 401 auto-delete and `failproofai reset` all left a working bearer and refresh token at migrations/backup-layout3/auth.json, to be carried into every dotfile backup, container image and snapshot after it — with no CLI sign-out at all, so the headless boxes this feature targets had no supported way to remove it. A clean chain now prunes it, guarded on the file being readable at its new home so a copy is never the last one. A FAILED chain keeps it, which is the state the backup exists for. deleteAuth() also sweeps any straggler, so sign-out means the token is off the machine even when a chain failed. Credentials the migration DELETES rather than moves are untouched — there the backup is the only remaining copy. **A dead session read as a working destination.** ensureSignedIn returned any session file on disk with its expiry unread, so `--schedule` printed `reports to <email>` and exited 0 for a refresh token that had lapsed or been revoked elsewhere: digests configured, destination shown, nothing delivered for up to a full interval (90 days at the maximum), the only signal a journal line. The dashboard already refuses this state, so the two surfaces disagreed on the one thing this feature claims is in sync. The check is a comparison against a number already in the file, so the offline property stands — a signed-in machine with no network is still not re-prompted. `--status` applies it too, and gained a row for the grandfathered-consent case, which would otherwise show a healthy schedule and a live address while mailing nothing. **The CLI opt-in never said what leaves the machine.** The settings panel enumerates it and argues in its own comment that a checkable list beats a stronger claim; that reasoning applies at least as much to the only opt-in path on a headless box. Adds the real payload from report-harm.ts. **`audit --help` claimed a bare audit runs "fully offline — no account or network".** It fires cli_audit_started and cli_audit_completed to PostHog, gated only by the opt-out isTelemetryEnabled(). That sentence is load-bearing for the whole consent story, so it now says what is actually true and names the env var that turns the rest off.

The whole feature landed with `git diff origin/main...HEAD -- docs/` empty, so every page still described the release before it. docs/cli/audit.mdx was the worst of it: it told users to enable scheduling by hand-editing `audit.auto: true` — the exact key whose meaning this release changes — on a page whose Tip said the audit runs "fully offline, no account or network required". The enable path and the privacy claim were both wrong, and they were wrong in the same direction. It now documents the four flags (none of which appeared anywhere in docs/), enumerates what a digest actually sends, carries the redaction caveat rather than implying a guarantee, explains `reports_consented_at` and what an upgrading machine should expect, and points at `audit/schedule.json` instead of the layout-3 path. docs/dashboard.mdx documented the reminder cadence picker and `/api/auth/reminder`, both deleted here, and had no section for the rebuilt settings page at all. The 14 locale copies are generated — `bun run translate` regenerates them from the English source. Also re-gates the settings page. The rewrite dropped the FAILPROOFAI_DISABLE_PAGES -> notFound() check that audit, policies and projects all still carry, and the new gear link sat outside the navbar's filter — so an operator who disabled the page got the page anyway, with a link to it in the header. It is the page that least deserves to lose that gate: it shows the address digests are mailed to and can sign the machine out, on a dashboard that may deliberately be exposed beyond localhost.

**Each migration step stamps its own target.** Every step ended by writing LAYOUT_VERSION, which was harmless while each chain was one hop. On `2 → 3 → 4` the first step marks the home layout 4 with its files still at layout 3, and the window before the second step completes is real: a SIGKILL, an OOM or a power loss inside it leaves a home reading `current` forever, because detectLayout() short-circuits on the marker. The session then sits at the old path, unread, permanently. runMigrations' catch repairs an over-stamp, but a killed process runs no catch — the stamp has to be right as it is written. **A failed copy no longer leaves a partial destination.** copyFileSync is not atomic, so ENOSPC or a kill part-way through the EXDEV fallback left a truncated `to`. The source was still intact at that point — but the retry takes the existsSync(to) branch, reads the fragment as authoritative, and deletes the good original. The branch that exists to protect the credential would have destroyed it. **The report window is clamped against its own end.** window_from is the server's watermark and window_to is this machine's clock, so a backwards jump (NTP correcting a fast RTC, a snapshot restore, a dual-boot machine writing localtime to the hardware clock) put `from` after `to`. Nothing matches such a window, so every finding was dropped — silently and permanently, since the watermark only moves forward, while the outcome line still read normal. **extractCode stops eating the sentence's digits.** The prompt invites pasting the whole line and the real message is `Your failproof code is 123456 (expires in 10 minutes)`, so joining every digit produced `12345610` — eight digits, which passes the 4–12 validator, reaches the server, and burns an attempt. A run long enough to be a code now wins; a genuinely split `123 456` still joins. **A Mac is no longer told its healthy daemon will not run.** daemonServiceStatus needs `sudo -n` to interrogate a LaunchDaemon, so a Mac with no cached credential — the common state — answers "unknown" for a service that is running fine. Treating every non-running value as a fault contradicted the schedule confirmation printed one line above. The dashboard already special-cases it. **Offline is told apart from expired.** whoAmI() returns null for a 401 AND for every transport failure, and the client discriminated on res.ok alone — so a machine behind a proxy hit the 10s timeout, watched the switch snap back, and was told "that sign-in expired", then handed a code prompt that cannot succeed either. What is left on disk separates them: a 401 wipes the session, a network failure leaves it. **/settings can recover from a dead session.** With auto on and the session gone it rendered a warning telling the user to sign in and no control to do it with — the dialog opened only from the off→on toggle and enable()'s rejection path, so recovery meant guessing that toggling off and on was the way through. **The daemon's start time stops counting sleep.** startedAtFromMonotonic mixed systemd's CLOCK_MONOTONIC stamp (frozen across suspend) with os.uptime() (counts suspend), so a laptop that suspends nightly read "up 30d" for a daemon started yesterday. The `< 0` guard only caught the impossible direction; this error is always positive. Both sides now read one clock.

**Nothing pinned that a bare `failproofai audit` sends nothing.** It is the
load-bearing privacy promise — `audit --help` and the docs both make it, and
`reportHarm` is the only thing in the audit that can reach the network holding
a transcript excerpt — and `grep -rn reportHarm __tests__/` matched only the
file that invokes it directly. The new tripwire asserts there is exactly ONE
call site and that it sits inside runScheduledAudit, which is the shape that
would break: the manual and scheduled paths share almost everything else.
Structural rather than behavioural because driving runAuditCli starts a
dashboard and scans the real machine; the repo already reads committed sources
this way for the dogfood configs and the Rust/TS harness keys.
**submitAuditReport had no test at all.** The rollout note's claim — an older
server 404s, reportHarm returns {kind:"failed"}, nothing throws — was asserted
against `submitMock.mockRejectedValue(...)`, which proves reportHarm's
try/catch and says nothing about what the client does with a 404. The 58
deleted lines in api-server-client.test.ts were the only tests that had ever
touched that layer. Now covered: 404, a proxy's HTML 502, 401, success, and
that the body carries no address (the server resolves it from the token, so a
machine must not be the thing deciding where a digest goes).
**A dry-run assertion was tautological**: it checked
`` `${planMigration(2).length} step(s) would run` `` — deriving the expected
count from the function whose output the report describes, so it held for any
chain including an empty one. The steps are named literally now, so it fails
when layout 5 lands, which is exactly when the report starts describing a chain
nobody checked.
Also pins the consent stamp against the whole-file config rewrite, in both
directions: a rewrite must not drop it (that would stop a machine's digests the
next time any unrelated setting changed) and must not invent it (a key on disk
implying somebody was asked). Replaces the stale comment above that test, which
described `emailEnabled` — a key this same PR removed.
The changelog was contradicting itself inside one version section, because it
recorded the branch's history rather than the release: one entry announced
deleting /settings while two others rebuilt it, and another introduced
`email_enabled` as a separate switch that a later entry removes. Collapsed to
what actually ships, and the new fixes are recorded.

Summary
Scheduled audits, end to end: a timer that runs on your machine, a page that says what it is doing, a command that configures it without a browser, and an email when a scan finds something worth knowing about.
This is the machine half. The server half is the api-server PR (harm digests). Deploy that first — this side degrades safely against an older server; see Rollout.
What this adds
failproofai audit --schedule [days] [--email you@yourdomain.com], plus--no-scheduleand--status, with email-OTP sign-in in the terminal.The switch previously existed only on a settings page, in a browser — while
failproofaidis a system service (WantedBy=multi-user.target, starts at boot, needs no login, survives logout) built for exactly the machines that cannot open one: headless boxes, detached tmux, cron, CI runners. The feature shipped with no way to turn it on where it matters most.--emailanswers the first of the two sign-in questions up front, so it is one command and then the code; the code itself still needs a person, because it has to be read out of a mailbox.Parity with the dashboard is structural rather than promised: every write calls the same
updateConfigthe server actions call, and the session goes through the sameauth-store. Oneconfig.json, oneaudit/session.json, one writer for each. Verified live in both directions./settingsrebuilt as a console for the service — a stat row (daemon, next scan, last scan, findings) over the controls and a plain statement of what the scan does. Three of the four stats needed no new storage. The countdown reads the daemon's ownnext_due_at_msrather than deriving it, because deriving drifts the moment somebody changes the interval mid-cycle.daemonStartedAtMsreads systemd's monotonic activation stamp: the printedActiveEnterTimestampis locale-formatted, and a page claiming the daemon started in the future is worse than one that says nothing.Harm reporting from the scheduled audit. A bare
failproofai auditstays fully offline; only scheduling opts into mail. The window is applied per event rather than through--since, which filters on transcript mtime — a session left open for a month arrives with a fresh mtime and its whole history in tow, so the first digest anyone received would have described everything their agent had ever done as that week's news. Examples are redacted against the sameSECRET_PATTERNSthe blocking policies use, so there is one definition of "secret" rather than two that eventually disagree.Layout 4 —
auth.json→audit/session.json,next-audit.json→audit/reminder.json,state/audit-schedule.json→audit/schedule.json.auditDiris deliberately absent fromHOME_CLASSES: it was classedderivedwholesale, which was right for a directory of caches and became a trap the moment a credential moved in, becauseresettablePaths()is a filter over that table and a reset would have deleted the user's tokens.Correctness work
Most of the later commits are defects found by review and by running the thing against a real machine. Recording them because they describe the shape of the risk:
/home/siddshortened to~/…/sidd— the name kept as the basename, directly after the~meant to stand in for it — and it reached the server and the digestwriteVersionFile()stampedLAYOUT_VERSIONrather than the step's ownto— harmless at one hop, a trap the moment this release made a chain two. A failed3 → 4left a machine signed out with its session still on diskFAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIRsigned people out on upgradeauth.json, a live bearer token, at the home root while the machine read as migratedvalidation_error, which the retry loop treated as fatal — so pasting the line out of the email cost a fresh codeRollout
Scheduled audits are off by default and require a sign-in to enable, so no existing machine starts mailing anything.
New CLI against an older server:
/v0/audit-reports404s,report-harm.tsreturns{kind: "failed"}and never throws, and the local audit and its dashboard are unaffected. Safe, but pointless — ship the api-server first.Verification

Review pass (2026-08-15)
A multi-agent review (7 dimensions → adversarial refutation → independent second
skeptic) turned up three merge-blockers and eighteen smaller findings. All are
fixed in the seven commits above; findings that were refuted, overstated, or
already guarded were dropped rather than actioned.

docs/was untouched by the original feature, so the audit page still told usersto enable scheduling by hand-editing the exact key whose meaning this release
changes, on a page claiming the audit runs "fully offline". Both pages are
current now, including what a digest sends. Locale copies regenerate with
bun run translate.Three gaps closed: nothing pinned that a bare
failproofai auditsends nothing(the load-bearing privacy claim),
submitAuditReporthad no test at all so the"older server degrades" claim rested on a mock of itself, and a dry-run
assertion derived its expectation from the function under test.
