…1086) ## Why `host-setup/agent-safety/` was a flat, Claude-Code-only directory. Fixing #781 (Codex/opencode have no write-safety hook) is blocked less by effort than by there being no agent-agnostic spec to implement *against* -- nothing let you hand a future Codex session "implement this" or ask Claude "audit this implementation" without re-deriving the requirements from `gh-write-guard.py`'s own source. ## What Pure structure and docs, no behavior change: - `git mv` of every Claude-specific file (`gh-write-guard.py`, `install.py`/`.sh`/`.ps1`, `claude-md-safety.md`, `claude-md-fleet.md`, `test_install.py`, its nested markdownlint config) into a new `claude/` subdirectory, mirroring how `host-setup/linux/` and `host-setup/windows/` are OS-specific subdirs of `host-setup/`. Confirmed zero internal code changes needed: every path lookup in these files is self-relative. - New root `host-setup/agent-safety/README.md`: the agent-agnostic spec. States the kit's six requirements as agent-neutral decision rules (not tied to Claude Code's hook API), two Mermaid flow diagrams (the decision flow, and the hook-vs-prose-vs-loading distinction), a per-agent status table, and an "Auditing an Implementation Against This Spec" section. - New `codex/README.md` and `opencode/README.md`: state the gap plainly (no hook yet, tracked at #781), what to keep enabled meanwhile, and point at the spec's requirements plus `claude/` as a worked reference implementation. - `claude/README.md` trimmed of architecture rationale now carried by the root spec; gains the full grant-mechanism walkthrough moved out of `docs/host-setup.md` so it exists in one place. - Every external reference to the old flat paths updated: root `README.md`, `host-setup/README.md` (including its own architecture-rationale example, which the move made false), `host-setup/windows/README.md`, `scripts/README.md`, `TODO.md`, `OPERATIONS.md`'s coverage runbook, and `docs/host-setup.md` (trimmed to a short pointer at the new spec + per-agent docs, matching the contract-vs-implementation split this file already uses for `linux/`/`windows/`). ## Verification - `gh-write-guard.py --selftest` and `test_install.py` (45 tests) pass unchanged from the new path. - Full local gate set green: `ruff`, `mypy`, the 879-test `scripts/tests` suite, `spec/audit.py --selftest`, `build_dist.py --check`, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py` (all rule sets), JSON validation, `spec/validate.py`, and `docker_lint.py` (markdownlint, cspell, shellcheck, shfmt, PSScriptAnalyzer) -- all clean, 0 issues. - Repo-wide grep confirms zero remaining references to the old flat `agent-safety/install*`/`gh-write-guard.py`/`test_install.py`/`claude-md-*.md` paths outside `claude/` itself. Refs #781, #1083.

…ock, Hook-vs-Prose Criteria (#1091) ## Why #1073: an agent reused the maintainer's own primary hub checkout instead of a worktree, twice, despite having read the prose rule against it. #1083 generalizes the lesson (alongside a second, unrelated incident already fixed by PR #1081) into a maintainer design call: which behaviors need a mechanical hook, not just documented prose. Follows PR #1086 (the agent-safety spec restructure), authored against its new `host-setup/agent-safety/claude/` paths. ## What - **#1043** -- `host-setup/menu.sh`'s hub-cache lock covered only the fetch, not a concurrent session's use of the fetched tree. Extended to a reader/writer lock over the whole resolve-and-use span (`menu.ps1` gets the equivalent with a named mutex, since Windows has no shared-lock primitive to build a correct one cheaply). A pre-push review caught a self-deadlock this introduced (two fds on one lock file, treated as independent holders) and an EXIT-trap hang on interrupt; both fixed and verified by reproducing the exact hangs against a stubbed `git clone`, confirming no hang after the fix. - **#1076** -- tightened `resync-a-repo` and `repo-worktree` skill prose against reusing an existing on-disk checkout, the skill that was actually running during the #1073 incident. - **#1073** -- a new rule 6 in `gh-write-guard.py`: denies a mutating git operation (checkout, reset, add, commit, stash, rm, and more) run directly against a primary (non-worktree) checkout, with flag-based exemptions matching the documented base-clone cleanup step (`merge --ff-only`, a flagless checkout of an actual ref), a new escape-hatch env var, and ~30 new self-test cases. Two rounds of adversarial review found and fixed 13 real bugs/bypasses (a self-deadlock, several bypass shapes -- `bash -c` wrappers, `~`-paths, `--work-tree`, `GIT_WORK_TREE=`/`GIT_DIR=` prefixes, a pathspec-form checkout gap -- an inverted-intent escape- hatch footgun, and two regressions the fixes themselves introduced), each verified against a real git repository built during review, not just the offline self-test. - **#1083** -- a new `GOVERNANCE.md` bullet stating the criteria for when a rule earns a mechanical hook vs. staying prose, applied to close out all three of #1083's open questions explicitly. - Filled in `docs/host-setup.md` "Claude Code Worktree Access" (previously a stub), including a live-verified finding: Claude Code's own native worktree-isolation enforcement only engages once `EnterWorktree` actually runs, not from a plain `git worktree add` + `cd`. ## Verification - Full local gate set green: `ruff`, `mypy`, the 879-test `scripts/tests` suite, `spec/audit.py --selftest`, `gh-write-guard.py --selftest` (all ~50 cases), `test_install.py` (45 tests), `build_dist.py --check`, `repo_gate.py`, `prose_lint.py` (all rule sets), JSON validation, `spec/validate.py`, `docker_lint.py` (markdownlint, cspell, shellcheck, shfmt, PSScriptAnalyzer). - Every hook-rule fix and exemption independently verified live against real git repositories (a primary checkout + a linked worktree built during this work), not only the offline self-test seams. - The `menu.sh` deadlock fix verified by reproducing the exact pre-fix hang (`timeout` returning 124) and confirming the post-fix run completes, for the fetch path, the interrupt-then-cleanup path, and `--dry-run` creating zero host state.

🟡 Changes recommended
The Claude agent-safety installer currently enforces a Python 3.11+ floor via datetime.UTC, which appears avoidable and can block rollout on common hosts with older system Python.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
This promotion PR brings develop to main, landing the agent write-safety spec restructure plus the follow-on hardening: a clearer spec/implementation split for host-setup/agent-safety/, expanded documentation, a new Claude Code primary-checkout mutation backstop, and improved hub-cache concurrency safety in the host-setup menus.
Changes:
- Restructures
host-setup/agent-safety/into an agent-agnostic spec plus per-agent implementation docs, updating all cross-references. - Extends
host-setup/menu.shandhost-setup/menu.ps1locking to cover the full fetch-and-use span of the cached hub checkout. - Updates governance and Skills prose to reflect when rules earn mechanical hooks and to reinforce worktree isolation.

move shutil.copyfile until after a successful self-test so failed payloads do
not replace existing hooks; reuse the same launcher for hook_cmd. The sibling
lines 499-501 require the interpreter substitution and launcher reuse.
- Around line 628-631: Update the CLAUDE.md handling in the installation flow
around claude_md.exists() and raw.decode("utf-8") to catch UnicodeDecodeError

traceback. Keep strict UTF-8 decoding and avoid writing back or replacing the
user’s original text when decoding fails.

- Around line 250-256: The existing tests cover malformed settings only for the
report path; add separate install-path tests for each rejection handled by the
install validation logic: non-object root, invalid hooks type, invalid
permissions type, null hooks.PreToolUse, and a non-object hooks.PreToolUse
element. For each case, assert exit code 1, confirm stderr names the rejected
key, and verify settings.json remains byte-for-byte unchanged.

Qodo's review of the develop -> main promotion PR (#1098) found that `worktree remove`'s force check only matched exact `-f`/`--force` tokens. Git requires `-f` given twice to remove a locked worktree, and confirmed live: `git worktree remove -ff <path>` forcibly removes a locked worktree's uncommitted content exactly as `-f -f` does, which the exact-token check missed entirely. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved safety checks for `git worktree remove` commands using repeated or bundled force flags, including `-ff`. * Locked worktree removal now correctly requires two force flags. * Preserved valid path arguments supplied after `--`. * Added safeguards against unsafe primary-checkout removal attempts. * **Documentation** * Clarified force-flag requirements and supported worktree removal behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🔵 Needs a closer look
The new Claude installer can still crash or print a non-runnable report command in certain environments, and those issues should be fixed before promoting to main.

…tings.json Reference CodeRabbit's review of the develop -> main promotion PR (#1098) found the manual settings.json reference always shows a literal "python3" for the hook's own command, but install.py's hook_launcher() falls back to sys.executable's absolute path when no python3 shim exists (most commonly a Windows host), while MANAGED_PERMISSIONS's own Bash(python3 scripts/pr_review.py:*) rule is a hardcoded literal regardless of platform. Hand-copying this block on such a host could produce a non-runnable hook command. Added a note pointing at running the installer instead, confirmed against install.py's own source. `prose_lint.py` and `markdownlint` are clean.

🔵 Needs a closer look
The Claude write-safety installer can crash on a corrupted/non-UTF-8 existing CLAUDE.md due to strict decoding, which undermines the installer’s stated robustness goals.

CodeRabbit's review of the develop -> main promotion PR (#1098) found the self-test tuple-shape comment described `None` as meaning only "no git repository there at all", when the same value also covers a live query genuinely failing (a pre-2.31 git lacking `rev-parse --path-format`, already documented separately in claude/README.md's "Scope and Limits"). Named both cases. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Clarified self-test documentation to indicate that unsupported Git versions are also represented as failures. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🔵 Needs a closer look
The new installer writes user settings.json non-atomically and the new locking path has misleading error handling in cleanup, both of which can cause real operational breakage or confusing hangs.

- The fetch_hub comment says hub_read_lock_acquire "runs regardless of --dry-run" for a reused-checkout read, but hub_read_lock_acquire returns immediately when DRY_RUN==true, so it never creates the lock file or directory under --dry-run. This mismatch makes it harder to trust the dry-run/side-effect contract when maintaining this code.
# --dry-run promises to change nothing, and this clone (or re-clone) is the one real change this function itself makes to the host.
# The reader lock's own directory and lock-file creation (hub_read_lock_acquire) runs regardless of --dry-run for an ordinary reused-checkout read, but respects it here since a fetch is a materially bigger change than a lock file.

Answering the two new suppressed findings (no thread to resolve for either), both fixed via PR #1106 (feature -> develop): "The fetch_hub comment says hub_read_lock_acquire 'runs regardless of --dry-run'... mismatch" — Confirmed real: hub_read_lock_acquire actually no-ops entirely under --dry-run. Corrected the comment to describe why fetch_hub's own dry-run check exists instead (a clearer, task-specific diagnostic than the generic "no reader lock held" message that would otherwise fire). "cleanup() suppresses stderr from flock -n... misleading" — Confirmed as the same masking bug already fixed for hub_read_lock_acquire's own probe (PR #1102), left unaddressed in cleanup()'s own separate probe. Applied the identical fix, confirmed live for both the real-error and ordinary-contention paths. Will re-request review here once #1106 lands. |
CodeRabbit's review of the develop -> main promotion PR (#1098) found that cleanup()'s own separate, pre-existing lock probe had the same stderr-suppression and missing-exec-check gaps this PR chain already fixed in hub_read_lock_acquire, plus a stale comment claiming hub_read_lock_acquire "runs regardless of --dry-run" when it actually no-ops entirely under --dry-run. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved dry-run diagnostics when fetching is unavailable. * Enhanced cleanup lock handling with clearer error messages. * Distinguished lock contention from other file-locking errors for more reliable troubleshooting. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The new host-setup/agent-safety/claude/install.py can crash on invalid-UTF-8 settings.json during install, instead of emitting a controlled diagnostic and leaving the file unchanged.
