Summary

Implements Issue #695 from a clean worktree (verified remote master 2376567). Contaminated prior attempt is not used as authoritative code.

  • Native transport binding: process-local runtime (PID + secret) set only by official mcp_server.py entrypoint; GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1 / direct-import / raw-token env vars alone never authorize mutations.
  • Quarantine (AC8): gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review (controller/reconciler/merger); durable records under session-state; forensic evidence retained.
  • Live gates honor quarantine: review feedback, merge eligibility, merge mutation, merger paths reading approval_at_current_head.
  • Canonical handoffs (AC7): approval/merge-ready claims require NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF; offline/import spoof claims rejected.
  • Workflow STOP (AC10): docs + author/reviewer workflows require hard stop after native MCP failure (no offline helpers).

Do not quarantine review 427 against PR #694 until independent adversarial review and controller deployment of this tooling.

Test plan

  • Focused: tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py + daemon/merge/canonical suites — 42 passed
  • Full suite (worktree): 2658 collected / 2652 passed / 6 skipped (161 subtests passed)

Incident Audit Report — Issue #695

1. Incident Overview

On July 13, 2026, an offline/untrusted process reconstructed session/preflight/lease gates outside native transport and submitted a false APPROVED review (id 427) under the sysadmin identity on PR #694 at 03:20:00 EDT (07:20:00 UTC). Subsequently, Gitea token bf92a0621a... was exposed in step stdout logs at 03:50:42 EDT (07:50:42 UTC).

2. Sanitized Timestamp Sequence

  • 03:15:30 EDT (07:15:30 UTC): offline_mcp_helper.py last modified (untrusted runner).
  • 03:20:00 EDT (07:20:00 UTC): False APPROVED review 427 submitted by sysadmin on PR #694.
  • 03:20:37 EDT (07:20:37 UTC): offline_mcp_runner.py last modified (final retries complete).
  • 03:31:34 EDT (07:31:34 UTC): Containment comment 10903 posted to block PR #694.
  • 03:50:42 EDT (07:50:42 UTC): Token bf92a0621a... exposed in logs (Line 1623).
  • 03:59:40 EDT (07:59:40 UTC): Local quarantine comment 10943 posted on PR #694.
  • 04:02:22 EDT (08:02:22 UTC): Keychain updated with new token 4ef86f8d37... (active namespaces restarted).
  • 04:17:57 EDT (08:17:57 UTC): PR #696 implementation committed natively at head 253269c (PR branch fix/issue-695-native-transport-quarantine).

3. Provenance and Health Audit

  • Namespace Health: The active namespaces gitea-tools and gitea-reviewer restarted at 04:02:22 EDT and are on master parity (commit 2376567). The old token has been replaced in the keychain.
  • PR #696 Integrity: HEAD is exactly 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed, based directly on verified master 2376567. No contaminated files, helper scripts, or credentials exist in the PR branch. Full test suite (2644 tests) passed cleanly.
  • PR #694 / Review 427 Status: PR #694 remains open and unmerged. Review 427 is policy-blocked by thread comments.
  • Quarantine Authority: The local quarantine database schema is defined in PR #696, but because PR #696 is not yet merged to master, the live Gitea-Tools server does not read it. Thus, the quarantine currently has no live authority, and PR #694 remains blocked by policy comments until PR #696 lands.
  • Verdict: PR #696 author session has clean provenance. A fresh author session/PR is NOT required.

Independent adversarial review of PR #696 (Closes #695) — native MCP prgs-reviewer session, isolated worktree branches/review-pr-696 detached at pinned head 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed (parent = master 2376567). Root checkout untouched.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES

The quarantine machinery (AC3/AC4/AC7/AC8/AC10) is solid, but the central native-transport binding (AC1/AC2) is defeatable from a fresh offline Python process by a one-liner — exactly the threat model of the PR #694 / review-427 incident. Two independent, empirically-confirmed bypasses:

Finding 1 (blocker) — mark_sanctioned_daemon(allow_test_bootstrap=True) forges native runtime in ANY process

mcp_daemon_guard.mark_sanctioned_daemon(*, allow_test_bootstrap=False):

if not is_pytest_runtime() and not allow_test_bootstrap:
    if not _caller_is_official_entrypoint():
        raise UnsanctionedRuntimeError(...)
token = secrets.token_hex(32)
_NATIVE_RUNTIME = {...}

allow_test_bootstrap=True unconditionally skips the entrypoint check — it is a public keyword arg, not gated behind is_pytest_runtime(). An offline importer (no pytest, no FORCE env) calls it and is_native_mcp_transport() returns True, authorizing every mutation gate including gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review. Verified in a fresh interpreter:

is_pytest_runtime: False
mark_sanctioned_daemon(allow_test_bootstrap=True) -> native_mcp_transport: True
assert_sanctioned_mutation_runtime('offline-forged'): PASSED

This directly violates AC2 ("provenance … cannot be reconstructed by importing internals in a fresh Python process") and AC1.
Fix: require is_pytest_runtime() for the bootstrap path (if allow_test_bootstrap and not is_pytest_runtime(): raise), or drop the flag and bootstrap tests solely via the pytest branch.

Finding 2 (blocker) — entrypoint check matches on basename only

_caller_is_official_entrypoint() accepts any stack frame whose filename basename is mcp_server.py:

base = path.rsplit("/", 1)[-1]
if base == "mcp_server.py":
    return True

The incident actor freely creates local runner scripts; cp offline_runner.py mcp_server.py && python mcp_server.py (importing internals and calling mark_sanctioned_daemon() with no bootstrap flag) satisfies the check. Verified — a throwaway mcp_server.py in a temp dir established native transport and passed assert_sanctioned_mutation_runtime. Basename identity is not a provenance boundary.
Fix: bind to the resolved absolute path of the installed server module (and/or a launch nonce injected by the real process), not a basename.

AC9 regression gap

tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py reproduces the original offline sequence but does not cover the new bypass surface the fix introduces: no test asserts allow_test_bootstrap=True is rejected outside pytest, and no test exercises the basename-spoof entrypoint path. Both should fail closed and be covered.

What is correct (verified)

  • Quarantine honored across gitea_get_pr_review_feedback, gitea_check_pr_eligibility(action=merge), and gitea_merge_pr; contaminated APPROVED at head is excluded from latest_by_reviewer and yields an explicit #695 void reason (5 independent enforcement points).
  • merge_approval_gate.assess_merge_approval_head excludes quarantined review_ids; quarantined_approvals_at_current_head surfaced.
  • Fail-closed on feedback-fetch errors and malformed PR/review payloads.
  • Quarantine write requires exact confirmation string, native provenance bit, review existence + reviewed_head_sha match, reconciler/merger/controller role; audit comment is append-only; forensic evidence never deleted; no auto-quarantine of review 427.
  • AC7 canonical-comment validator rejects approved/merge-ready claims lacking NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF and rejects offline/import-citing claims even with a proof line.
  • AC10 STOP docs present in daemon guard doc + both workflow files.
  • Credential safety: secret scan of the full diff clean — no incident tokens (bf92a0621a…/4ef86f8d37…), no config/forensic artifacts, no offline runner files in tree; test credentials are dummies only.

Validation (exact counts, root venv Python 3.14.5 against this worktree)

  • py_compile all changed modules: OK
  • Focused tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py: 14 passed
  • Targeted security/merge/session suites (daemon_guard, merge_approval_gate, canonical_comment_validator, op_normalization, audit, mcp_server): 285 passed
  • Full suite: 2652 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed
  • Secret scan: clean · git diff: 16 files, +1540/−88, single commit, no artifacts

Issue: #695 | PR: #696 (head 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed)

Fix REQUEST_CHANGES findings from native reviewer:
1. mark_sanctioned_daemon: require is_pytest_runtime() for allow_test_bootstrap, else raise UnsanctionedRuntimeError (a fresh offline process must not forge native transport).
2. _caller_is_official_entrypoint: bind to resolved absolute module path / launch nonce, not basename "mcp_server.py".
3. Add tests: allow_test_bootstrap=True rejected outside pytest; attacker file named mcp_server.py rejected.
Keep all existing quarantine gates. Work in a branches/ worktree; do not self-review; hand to independent REVIEWER.

WHY:
The PR's core AC1/AC2 guarantee — mutation provenance cannot be reconstructed by importing internals in a fresh Python process — is empirically defeated by two one-line offline bypasses, so the native-transport binding does not yet hold against the incident's own threat model.

Both should fail closed and be covered. ## What is correct (verified) - Quarantine honored across `gitea_get_pr_review_feedback`, `gitea_check_pr_eligibility(action=merge)`, and `gitea_merge_pr`; contaminated APPROVED at head is excluded from `latest_by_reviewer` and yields an explicit `#695` void reason (5 independent enforcement points). - `merge_approval_gate.assess_merge_approval_head` excludes quarantined review_ids; `quarantined_approvals_at_current_head` surfaced. - Fail-closed on feedback-fetch errors and malformed PR/review payloads. - Quarantine write requires exact confirmation string, native provenance bit, review existence + `reviewed_head_sha` match, reconciler/merger/controller role; audit comment is append-only; forensic evidence never deleted; no auto-quarantine of review 427. - AC7 canonical-comment validator rejects approved/merge-ready claims lacking `NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF` and rejects offline/import-citing claims even with a proof line. - AC10 STOP docs present in daemon guard doc + both workflow files. - Credential safety: secret scan of the full diff clean — no incident tokens (`bf92a0621a…`/`4ef86f8d37…`), no config/forensic artifacts, no offline runner files in tree; test credentials are dummies only. ## Validation (exact counts, root venv Python 3.14.5 against this worktree) - `py_compile` all changed modules: OK - Focused `tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py`: **14 passed** - Targeted security/merge/session suites (daemon_guard, merge_approval_gate, canonical_comment_validator, op_normalization, audit, mcp_server): **285 passed** - Full suite: **2652 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed** - Secret scan: clean · git diff: 16 files, +1540/−88, single commit, no artifacts ## Canonical PR State STATE: changes-requested WHO_IS_NEXT: author NEXT_ACTION: Gate `allow_test_bootstrap` behind `is_pytest_runtime()` (or remove it) in `mcp_daemon_guard.mark_sanctioned_daemon`, replace the basename-only `_caller_is_official_entrypoint` check with absolute-path/launch-nonce binding, and add AC9 regression tests asserting both bypasses fail closed outside pytest; then re-request independent native review.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #696 — independent adversarial review verdict REQUEST_CHANGES at head 253269c

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: request_changes posted to gitea by prgs-reviewer/sysadmin at reviewed head 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed; server-side state changed (formal REQUEST_CHANGES review is API-visible, dismissed=false, stale=false, has_blocking_change_requests=true). Merge not performed.
  • Local verdict/state: REQUEST_CHANGES; two blocker findings empirically reproduced in a fresh interpreter; full validation suite green.
  • Latest known validation: py_compile OK; focused 14 passed; targeted 285 passed; full suite 2652 passed / 6 skipped / 161 subtests; secret scan clean; live PR head equalled the pinned head immediately before the review mutation.

What changed:

  • Server-side mutation ledger: request_changes posted to gitea; server-side state changed (one formal review on PR #696); merge not performed. Reviewer lease comment 10997 recorded this session.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: code blocker
  • Finding 1: mcp_daemon_guard.mark_sanctioned_daemon(allow_test_bootstrap=True) forges native runtime in any fresh non-pytest process; all mutation gates then pass. Violates AC1/AC2.
  • Finding 2: _caller_is_official_entrypoint() matches on basename mcp_server.py only; an attacker-controlled file with that basename in the call stack passes. Violates AC1/AC2.
  • AC9 regression gap: neither new bypass is covered by tests.

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: author (prgs-author)
  • Required action: gate allow_test_bootstrap behind is_pytest_runtime() (or remove it); replace basename entrypoint check with resolved-absolute-path / launch-nonce binding; add tests asserting both bypasses fail closed outside pytest.
  • Do not do: do not merge PR #696; do not touch PR #694; do not quarantine review 427.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #696 — author remediated REQUEST_CHANGES findings at head da6fd23

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: prior formal REQUEST_CHANGES review remains API-visible on the previous reviewed head 253269c; new commits pushed to PR branch head da6fd233f4. Merge not performed. No mutation on PR #694 or review 427.
  • Local verdict/state: REQUEST_CHANGES findings 1–2 fixed; AC9 regressions added; quarantine/eligibility/merge-gate/canonical/STOP behavior preserved.
  • Latest known validation: py_compile OK; focused security suites 29 passed (daemon guard + #695 native transport) and 71 passed with related guard suites; full suite 2661 passed / 6 skipped / 161 subtests; secret scan clean; push classified non-stable via native author MCP.

What changed:

  • Server-side mutation ledger: feature branch fast-forward push 253269c..da6fd23; append-only author handoff on this thread. No formal review, merge, lease, or quarantine mutation. server-side state changed (branch head only); merge not performed.
  • Code: removed public allow_test_bootstrap production seam; mark_sanctioned_daemon requires resolved canonical entrypoint path (not basename); bind_native_mcp_transport(stdio) required before mutation authority; install_test_native_runtime is pytest-only test-mode and cannot authorize production Gitea mutation endpoints (assert_production_mutation_runtime on quarantine write tool).

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: process/rule blocker
  • Independent adversarial re-review required at new head da6fd23 before any merge decision.
  • Do not merge on the prior REQUEST_CHANGES verdict at 253269c; re-review at da6fd23.

CTH: Blocker — independent re-review of PR #696 at pinned head da6fd233f4

Formal verdict: none submitted. This run stopped before review-worktree creation, validation, reviewer lease acquisition, or formal review mutation.

Evidence:

  • sysadmin / prgs-reviewer authenticated; live inventory reported PR #696 open at the pinned head, author jcwalker3.
  • workflow_hash da045d1e1f1f; final_report_schema_hash a7634e7b8689; boundary_status clean.
  • git status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=all in the control checkout returned ?? error.log; git ls-files --error-unmatch error.log confirmed it is untracked.
  • A fresh native runtime check simultaneously reported dirty_files: [] and preflight_ready: true.
  • Stable-branch contamination audit: contaminated=false. Authoritative active workflow leases: 0.
  • Prior formal REQUEST_CHANGES remains against head 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed; the current head was not independently validated in this blocked run.

Mutation ledger: two earlier comment attempts were rejected before posting. This durable handoff is the only intended external-state mutation. No source edits, git ref update, worktree/index mutation, review verdict, merge, or cleanup occurred.

Canonical Issue State

STATE:
review-blocked-before-validation; no formal verdict at da6fd233f4

WHO_IS_NEXT:
controller

NEXT_ACTION:
Preserve or relocate the user-owned root error.log as appropriate, restore the control checkout to a state accepted by the canonical workflow, and repair or explain the native preflight discrepancy that omits this untracked path; then launch a fresh prgs-reviewer session and rerun the complete review workflow.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: controller recovery, then independent REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer)
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Issue: #695 | PR: #696
Pinned head: da6fd233f4916bb14a93ea0c0ea152170a50c9b9

First reconcile the control-checkout dirty-state disagreement: shell reports untracked error.log while native runtime reports dirty_files=[] and preflight_ready=true. Do not discard user data. After the root checkout and native preflight agree, start a new reviewer session and rerun the full canonical workflow from identity/inventory onward. Independently execute all fresh-process/native-transport provenance attacks and required suites, then submit exactly one formal verdict. Do not reuse validation from this blocked run or replay a terminal review command.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
The reviewer loaded the canonical workflow, proved identity/profile/capabilities, retrieved live PR/issue/prior-review/handoff state, checked leases and contamination, and inspected the root checkout. The mandatory root-state gate failed before worktree creation because shell and native preflight disagree about an untracked file.

WHY:
The canonical review workflow hard-stops on a dirty control checkout and on stale or inconsistent runtime state. Continuing would make worktree binding, validation integrity, and review-mutation proof untrustworthy.

RELATED_PRS:
#696 (selected implementation PR); #694 (quarantine target remains untouched)

BLOCKERS:
Current blockers are the untracked root error.log and the native-preflight/filesystem dirty-state disagreement. UNBLOCK CONDITION: the root checkout must satisfy the canonical clean-state gate and a fresh native runtime check must report the same dirty state as git status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=all; then the full review must restart from the beginning.

VALIDATION:
No PR-head validation executed. Read-only diagnostics only: identity/profile/runtime/capability checks, open-PR inventory, PR #696 and Issue #695 state, prior review/handoff reads, lease/contamination checks, git status/worktree/branch inspection.

Authoritative active workflow leases: 0. - Prior formal REQUEST_CHANGES remains against head 253269c61b57e6b725ee45e7aac1b33a67ec89ed; the current head was not independently validated in this blocked run. Mutation ledger: two earlier comment attempts were rejected before posting. This durable handoff is the only intended external-state mutation. No source edits, git ref update, worktree/index mutation, review verdict, merge, or cleanup occurred. ## Canonical Issue State STATE: review-blocked-before-validation; no formal verdict at da6fd233f4916bb14a93ea0c0ea152170a50c9b9 WHO_IS_NEXT: controller NEXT_ACTION: Preserve or relocate the user-owned root `error.log` as appropriate, restore the control checkout to a state accepted by the canonical workflow, and repair or explain the native preflight discrepancy that omits this untracked path; then launch a fresh prgs-reviewer session and rerun the complete review workflow. NEXT_PROMPT: ```text Role: controller recovery, then independent REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer) Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools Issue: #695 | PR: #696 Pinned head: da6fd233f4916bb14a93ea0c0ea152170a50c9b9 First reconcile the control-checkout dirty-state disagreement: shell reports untracked error.log while native runtime reports dirty_files=[] and preflight_ready=true. Do not discard user data. After the root checkout and native preflight agree, start a new reviewer session and rerun the full canonical workflow from identity/inventory onward. Independently execute all fresh-process/native-transport provenance attacks and required suites, then submit exactly one formal verdict. Do not reuse validation from this blocked run or replay a terminal review command. ``` WHAT_HAPPENED: The reviewer loaded the canonical workflow, proved identity/profile/capabilities, retrieved live PR/issue/prior-review/handoff state, checked leases and contamination, and inspected the root checkout. The mandatory root-state gate failed before worktree creation because shell and native preflight disagree about an untracked file. WHY: The canonical review workflow hard-stops on a dirty control checkout and on stale or inconsistent runtime state. Continuing would make worktree binding, validation integrity, and review-mutation proof untrustworthy. RELATED_PRS: #696 (selected implementation PR); #694 (quarantine target remains untouched) BLOCKERS: Current blockers are the untracked root `error.log` and the native-preflight/filesystem dirty-state disagreement. UNBLOCK CONDITION: the root checkout must satisfy the canonical clean-state gate and a fresh native runtime check must report the same dirty state as `git status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=all`; then the full review must restart from the beginning. VALIDATION: No PR-head validation executed. Read-only diagnostics only: identity/profile/runtime/capability checks, open-PR inventory, PR #696 and Issue #695 state, prior review/handoff reads, lease/contamination checks, git status/worktree/branch inspection.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #696 — security hold under INC-695-P1-CRED-2026-07-13; no independent verdict exists at live head da6fd23

What is true now:

  • Server-side decision state: no review verdict exists at the current head da6fd233f4916bb14a93ea0c0ea152170a50c9b9; the latest formal verdict is REQUEST_CHANGES recorded at prior head 253269c (stale relative to the live head); approval_visible=false; has_blocking_change_requests=true; author_pushed_after_request_changes=true.
  • Local verdict/state: PR #696 is under security hold per incident #700 (INC-695-P1-CRED-2026-07-13). This comment supersedes the earlier launch-reviewer instruction (comment 11019). No reviewer is to be launched yet.
  • Latest known validation: root checkout clean at master 2376567; all implicated credentials revoked and replaced; author and reconciler namespaces re-verified (whoami PASS, capability resolution survived on both, no HTTP 401, no transport EOF after managed reconnect).

What changed:

  • Incident issue #700 now durably records the contaminated controller run, the sanitized containment record, and the permanent forensic limitation (evidence was not preserved before redaction).
  • Credential rotation is complete and the native issue workflow is restored; the operator-gated recovery preconditions from the prior hold are satisfied.
  • Canonical implementation order established: #699 (auth-failure transport survival) → #697 → #698 → fresh independent review of this PR at its re-pinned live head.

What is blocked:

  • Blocker classification: process/rule blocker
  • Fresh independent review of PR #696 is deferred until #699, #697, and #698 land through the canonical workflow; the stale REQUEST_CHANGES at 253269c does not cover head da6fd23 and no verdict at the live head exists.

Who/what acts next:

  • Next actor: controller
  • Required action: after #699/#697/#698 land and are proven active in managed namespaces, launch ONE fresh independent prgs-reviewer session at the re-pinned live head; the reviewer must verify the AC1/AC2 bypass fixes (allow_test_bootstrap gating, absolute-path entrypoint binding) and the AC9 regression coverage.
  • Do not do: do not merge PR #696; do not launch a reviewer now; do not treat the 253269c verdict as covering head da6fd23; do not use offline runners, direct API calls, or unmanaged daemons; do not reuse the prior contaminated session's conclusions.

WHO_IS_NEXT:

PR: #696 (live head da6fd233f4916bb14a93ea0c0ea152170a50c9b9)
Preconditions: #699 fix merge-committed to master and proven active in managed namespaces; #697 and #698 recreated via canonical workflow.
Action: re-pin the live PR #696 head immediately before acting; launch ONE fresh independent prgs-reviewer session at that head; reviewer verifies the AC1/AC2 bypass fixes (allow_test_bootstrap gated behind is_pytest_runtime, absolute-path/launch-nonce entrypoint binding) plus AC9 regression tests, then records a formal verdict via the native review API.
Do not merge without an APPROVE review verdict recorded at the live head via the native review API.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Contaminated controller run (incident #700) exposed credential material and bypassed the managed workflow; credentials are now rotated, the root checkout is clean at 2376567, and both namespaces are re-verified; PR #696 remains open with no verdict at its live head.

WHY:
A verdict recorded at a prior head does not cover the live head, and the incident requires the #699 transport fix and #697/#698 recreation to land first so the review runs on trustworthy infrastructure.

RELATED_PRS:
PR #696 (this PR, open, head da6fd23); PR #694 (separate containment track, review 427 remains subject to its own scoped correction path — untouched here).

BLOCKERS:
Process/rule blocker — canonical order items #699/#697/#698 must land before the fresh independent review; no reviewer launch until then.

feat(guard): native MCP transport binding and contaminated-review quarantine (Closes #695) 553f745f23 
Bind mutation/credential paths to a process-local native MCP runtime so env
spoofing, direct imports, and offline helpers cannot reconstruct session gates
after native transport failure. Quarantine contaminated formal reviews under
controller authority and honor quarantine in review feedback, merge eligibility,
merge mutation, and canonical handoff validation. Add regression coverage for
the second (PR #694 / review 427) incident class.
fix(guard): close allow_test_bootstrap and basename entrypoint bypasses (#695) ae6f0b74db 
Remove the public allow_test_bootstrap production seam so caller-controlled
flags cannot forge native mutation provenance. Bind provenance to the resolved
canonical entrypoint path plus a live stdio transport bind; basename-only
mcp_server.py stack frames and import-only launch no longer authorize
mutations. Test-mode install_test_native_runtime is pytest-only and cannot
reach production Gitea mutation endpoints. Add AC9 regressions for both
reviewer-found bypasses and related spoof vectors.

Refs: PR #696 REQUEST_CHANGES at 253269c; issue #695 comments 11002/11005.
fix(guard): pin session-state authority and reject direct-import mutation (#695) 576349d545 
Close remaining AC1/AC2/AC6-8 gaps after REQUEST_CHANGES and the PR #701
recurrence: GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT never authorizes mutations;
production transport bind pins GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR so redirected
dirs cannot forge independent decision locks; mark/submit fail closed
offline; quarantine continues to void contaminated merge eligibility.

Regression tests reproduce the PR #701 direct-import + state-dir override
sequence. Full suite: 2665 passed, 6 skipped.

Independent adversarial native MCP re-review of PR #696 at head 576349d54598133e0d097efbe290c19b719dd285; verify AC1/AC2/AC6–AC8 and PR #701 regressions; do not merge; do not touch PR #701 forensics or review 431; do not quarantine review 427 until this lands and controller deploys.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: REVIEWER (prgs-reviewer) — independent adversarial re-review
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
Issue: #695 | PR: #696
Pinned head: 576349d54598133e0d097efbe290c19b719dd285

1. Native MCP only — never GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT, never import gitea_mcp_server, never override GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR.
2. Verify prior REQUEST_CHANGES (Findings 1–2 at 253269c) remain closed via da6fd23/ae6f0b7 lineage.
3. Verify new AC1: ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT never authorizes mutations; mark/submit fail closed offline.
4. Verify new AC2: production transport bind pins session-state dir; post-bind env redirect ignored (PR #701 .mcp_session_701 class).
5. Verify AC6–AC8: quarantine voids merge eligibility; gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review retains forensic evidence.
6. Run focused tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py + related guards; formal native verdict only.
7. Do not review/merge PR #701; review 431 remains VOID. Do not recover PR #703 lease prematurely.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Author continued PR #696 only (no new issue/branch/PR). Rebased onto master cc3ad08. Implemented remaining #695 contract after prior Finding 1/2 fix: direct-import env rejection; session-state authority pin at transport bind; mark_final/submit gates; decision-lock provenance stamp; conftest honors pin; PR #701 sequence regressions. Full suite 2665 passed / 6 skipped before rebase; focused 33 passed after rebase.

WHY:
Containment of PR #701 proved redirected GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR + direct import still reconstructs decision authority; AC1/AC2/AC6–AC8 must close that class without breaking legitimate native MCP isolation.

RELATED_PRS:
#696 this PR; #695 issue; #701 contaminated approve 431 VOID (not touched); #694 review 427 quarantine still deferred

Independent adversarial re-review of PR #696 (Closes #695) — native MCP only (prgs-reviewer / sysadmin).

Verdict: APPROVE

Pinned head: 576349d54598133e0d097efbe290c19b719dd285 (matches live refs/pull/696/head immediately before submit).
Base: master cc3ad0870aab9829cbe28cd869a283beeb37991d.
Isolated worktree: branches/review-pr-696-rereview-20260713215053-9659 (detached at pinned head; not author worktrees).
Lease: session 6371-de7a63000baa comment 11429.
Author handoffs: PR comment 11421, issue comment 11425. Prior REQUEST_CHANGES at 253269c is stale (review_feedback_stale=true, author_pushed_after_request_changes=true).

NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF: native prgs-reviewer MCP formal review after independent adversarial validation at head 576349d; no GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT; no import of gitea_mcp_server for mutation; no GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR override.

Prior finding disposition (REQUEST_CHANGES @ 253269c)

Finding Status Evidence
F1 public allow_test_bootstrap forge CLOSED Parameter removed from mark_sanctioned_daemon; install_test_native_runtime pytest-only; offline install raises UnsanctionedRuntimeError
F2 basename mcp_server.py spoof CLOSED _caller_official_entrypoint_path requires resolved absolute path ∈ canonical_entrypoint_paths(); temp-dir spoof MARK_FAIL + BIND_FAIL + is_native=False
AC9 gap for those bypasses CLOSED Covered in tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py + daemon guard tests

AC evidence

AC1 — offline / direct-import cannot mutate

  • Fresh interpreter: GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1 → is_native=False; assert_sanctioned_mutation_runtime / assert_production_mutation_runtime raise with AC1 message.
  • Offline from gitea_mcp_server import mark/submit import may succeed, but mutation authority fails closed (MARK_AUTH_FAIL / SUBMIT_AUTH_FAIL).
  • Env alone never binds transport; mark requires resolved canonical entrypoint; mutations require transport-bound production mode.

AC2 — session-state authority pin

  • bind_native_mcp_transport pins session_state_dir for server lifetime.
  • Adversarial: post-bind GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR=.mcp_session_701 ignored by pinned_session_state_dir() and mcp_session_state.default_state_dir().
  • Pre-bind env redirect works only before pin; new process re-bind re-pins for that lifetime (legitimate restart).
  • conftest honors pin (no test harness undoing production pin).

AC6–AC8 — quarantine / eligibility / forensics

  • Quarantined APPROVED (review 431 fixture / head 6b675f5c…) → approval_at_current_head=False, explicit void reason, forensic retain flags.
  • Unrelated non-quarantined approval still eligible.
  • gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review: production native runtime required; exact confirmation; reconciler/merger/controller role only (not author/reviewer-only); head/review pin; append-only audit; no auto-quarantine of 427/431 in this PR.
  • Feedback/eligibility/merge paths honor quarantined_review_ids.

AC9 — PR #701 sequence fidelity (Issue #695 comment 11394)

Regression class TestPR701DirectImportSessionOverrideSequence matches documented attack:

  1. GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1
  2. direct import mutation path
  3. GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR=.mcp_session_701 cross-PR lock evasion
  4. mark_final/submit authority → fail closed offline
  5. quarantine voids merge eligibility for review_id 431
    Forensic residuals on disk left untouched (.mcp_session_701/, run_submit.py); PR #701 / review 431 not mutated.

AC7/AC10 (spot-checked)

  • Canonical NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF + offline/import rejection in docs/workflows.
  • STOP-after-native-failure language in docs/mcp-daemon-import-guard.md and workflow files.

Adversarial reproductions (independent of author suite)

  • F1 offline install_test: PASS (rejected)
  • F2 basename spoof entrypoint: PASS (rejected)
  • AC1 direct-import env: PASS (no mutation)
  • AC1 offline import mark/submit auth: PASS (fail closed)
  • AC2 pin + post-bind redirect: PASS
  • AC2 restart re-pin: PASS
  • AC6 quarantine void + unrelated OK: PASS

Tests (worktree venv Python, head 576349d)

  • tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py: 26 passed
  • Related (daemon_guard, session isolation, merge_approval_gate, mcp_server, canonical_comment_validator, op_normalization, audit): 288 passed
  • Lease/session/merge-approval subset: 73 passed
  • Full suite: 2692 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed (1 Starlette deprecation warning only)
  • Secret scan of diff: clean of incident tokens

Process notes

  • #332 hard-stop from open PR #611 APPROVE review 430 initially blocked mark_final; operator-authorized correction slot used only to reopen review path for this instructed #696 verdict (does not dismiss 430; no merge of 611; no session-state file delete).
  • Do not quarantine review 427 or 431 until this PR merges and controller deploys quarantine tooling.
  • This APPROVE is merge eligibility evidence for #696 only — not a merge execution. Merger is a separate role.

Canonical PR State

STATE:
approved

WHO_IS_NEXT:
merger

NEXT_ACTION:
Separate MERGER session adopts the reviewer lease and merges PR #696 at head 576349d only after live pre-merge recheck; controller then deploys; only after deploy may historical contaminated reviews (427/431) be quarantined via the native path. Hold PR #701 until #695 is merged, deployed, and quarantine is available.

NEXT_PROMPT:

Role: MERGER (prgs-merger) — separate session from this reviewer
Repo: prgs / Scaled-Tech-Consulting / Gitea-Tools
PR: #696 (Closes #695)
Approved head: 576349d54598133e0d097efbe290c19b719dd285

1. gitea_whoami + resolve merge_pr on prgs-merger only (native MCP).
2. Re-pin live head; must equal 576349d…; stop if moved.
3. Adopt reviewer lease / prove eligibility; do not reuse author state.
4. Merge only with confirmation MERGE PR 696 after pre-merge gates pass.
5. Do not touch PR #701 forensics or review 431; do not quarantine 427/431 until post-deploy controller path.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent adversarial prgs-reviewer re-review at head 576349d closed prior F1/F2, verified AC1/AC2/AC6–AC9 including PR #701 sequence regressions, ran full suite green, and submitted formal APPROVE via native MCP.

WHY:
All security acceptance criteria for #695 are demonstrated at the final rebased head and required test suites pass; merge is a separate role after this approval.

ISSUE:
#695

LAST_UPDATED_BY:
prgs-reviewer / sysadmin

Independent adversarial re-review of PR #696 (Closes #695) — native MCP only (`prgs-reviewer` / `sysadmin`). ## Verdict: APPROVE Pinned head: `576349d54598133e0d097efbe290c19b719dd285` (matches live `refs/pull/696/head` immediately before submit). Base: master `cc3ad0870aab9829cbe28cd869a283beeb37991d`. Isolated worktree: `branches/review-pr-696-rereview-20260713215053-9659` (detached at pinned head; not author worktrees). Lease: session `6371-de7a63000baa` comment `11429`. Author handoffs: PR comment **11421**, issue comment **11425**. Prior REQUEST_CHANGES at `253269c` is stale (`review_feedback_stale=true`, `author_pushed_after_request_changes=true`). NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF: native prgs-reviewer MCP formal review after independent adversarial validation at head 576349d; no GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT; no import of gitea_mcp_server for mutation; no GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR override. ## Prior finding disposition (REQUEST_CHANGES @ 253269c) | Finding | Status | Evidence | |---------|--------|----------| | F1 public `allow_test_bootstrap` forge | **CLOSED** | Parameter removed from `mark_sanctioned_daemon`; `install_test_native_runtime` pytest-only; offline install raises `UnsanctionedRuntimeError` | | F2 basename `mcp_server.py` spoof | **CLOSED** | `_caller_official_entrypoint_path` requires resolved absolute path ∈ `canonical_entrypoint_paths()`; temp-dir spoof MARK_FAIL + BIND_FAIL + `is_native=False` | | AC9 gap for those bypasses | **CLOSED** | Covered in `tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py` + daemon guard tests | ## AC evidence ### AC1 — offline / direct-import cannot mutate - Fresh interpreter: `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` → `is_native=False`; `assert_sanctioned_mutation_runtime` / `assert_production_mutation_runtime` raise with AC1 message. - Offline `from gitea_mcp_server import mark/submit` import may succeed, but mutation authority fails closed (MARK_AUTH_FAIL / SUBMIT_AUTH_FAIL). - Env alone never binds transport; mark requires resolved canonical entrypoint; mutations require transport-bound production mode. ### AC2 — session-state authority pin - `bind_native_mcp_transport` pins `session_state_dir` for server lifetime. - Adversarial: post-bind `GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR=.mcp_session_701` ignored by `pinned_session_state_dir()` and `mcp_session_state.default_state_dir()`. - Pre-bind env redirect works only before pin; new process re-bind re-pins for that lifetime (legitimate restart). - conftest honors pin (no test harness undoing production pin). ### AC6–AC8 — quarantine / eligibility / forensics - Quarantined APPROVED (review 431 fixture / head `6b675f5c…`) → `approval_at_current_head=False`, explicit void reason, forensic retain flags. - Unrelated non-quarantined approval still eligible. - `gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review`: production native runtime required; exact confirmation; reconciler/merger/controller role only (not author/reviewer-only); head/review pin; append-only audit; no auto-quarantine of 427/431 in this PR. - Feedback/eligibility/merge paths honor `quarantined_review_ids`. ### AC9 — PR #701 sequence fidelity (Issue #695 comment 11394) Regression class `TestPR701DirectImportSessionOverrideSequence` matches documented attack: 1. `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` 2. direct import mutation path 3. `GITEA_MCP_SESSION_STATE_DIR=.mcp_session_701` cross-PR lock evasion 4. mark_final/submit authority → fail closed offline 5. quarantine voids merge eligibility for review_id 431 Forensic residuals on disk left untouched (`.mcp_session_701/`, `run_submit.py`); PR #701 / review 431 not mutated. ### AC7/AC10 (spot-checked) - Canonical NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF + offline/import rejection in docs/workflows. - STOP-after-native-failure language in `docs/mcp-daemon-import-guard.md` and workflow files. ## Adversarial reproductions (independent of author suite) - F1 offline install_test: PASS (rejected) - F2 basename spoof entrypoint: PASS (rejected) - AC1 direct-import env: PASS (no mutation) - AC1 offline import mark/submit auth: PASS (fail closed) - AC2 pin + post-bind redirect: PASS - AC2 restart re-pin: PASS - AC6 quarantine void + unrelated OK: PASS ## Tests (worktree venv Python, head 576349d) - `tests/test_issue_695_native_transport_quarantine.py`: **26 passed** - Related (daemon_guard, session isolation, merge_approval_gate, mcp_server, canonical_comment_validator, op_normalization, audit): **288 passed** - Lease/session/merge-approval subset: **73 passed** - **Full suite: 2692 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests passed** (1 Starlette deprecation warning only) - Secret scan of diff: clean of incident tokens ## Process notes - #332 hard-stop from open PR #611 APPROVE review 430 initially blocked mark_final; operator-authorized correction slot used only to reopen review path for this instructed #696 verdict (does not dismiss 430; no merge of 611; no session-state file delete). - Do **not** quarantine review 427 or 431 until this PR merges and controller deploys quarantine tooling. - This APPROVE is merge eligibility evidence for #696 only — **not** a merge execution.
