verdict.py: a recorded verification run with exit≠0 (including the -1
TIMEOUT sentinel) or a skipped record now forces DIVERGES with a numbered
complaint naming the command — previously a [FAIL] line sat in the report
appendix while the sentinel read CONFORMS, and callers route on the
sentinel alone. Fail-closed by the same rule: an ENVIRONMENT runner-error
marker when commands WERE declared is one red complaint (the declared
commands never ran, so the run is unproven); the "none declared" marker
and an empty declaration stay non-red. Headers name the red-run count.
run_checks.py: decode command output with encoding=utf-8/errors=replace
(a single non-UTF-8 byte used to raise inside communicate() and collapse
the whole evidence record to an ENVIRONMENT marker); bound the post-kill
pipe drain by DRAIN_TIMEOUT_SECS so a session-escaped grandchild holding
the pipe cannot turn a TIMEOUT record into a node kill.
graph.yaml: settings.timeout 5400 → 9000 = 3600 (run_checks node timeout)
+ 5400 (the previous whole-graph budget, kept for every other stage); the
old value predated run_checks and a graph-level timeout kills from
outside, losing the DIVERGES sentinel. Descriptions and README doctrine
updated (CONFORMS = all MET + zero holistic complaints + zero pipeline
faults + zero red runs).
Tests: envelope pin (settings >= run_checks + 5400), gauntlet lane
timeouts > child graph timeouts and gauntlet >= max_attempts × lane +
margin over every agent lane, non-UTF-8 output, bounded drain (unix),
red/skipped/timeout/none-declared/ENVIRONMENT×declaration matrix,
numbering continuity, header punctuation, wording pins on graph.yaml,
run_checks.py and both READMEs. The deadline test's hung command is now
python3-based instead of GNU sleep (cmd.exe on the Windows CI leg).
A live run died at map_criteria: one heavy criterion exhausted
max_iterations (10) with no fallback and sank the whole 17-criterion
review. check_criterion now has a 30-iteration budget, a tool-budget
instruction, and falls back to criterion_fault, which records a
schema-shaped UNMET verdict with a PIPELINE-FAULT evidence marker for
that one criterion; verdict.py renders it as DIED rather than judged.
Adversary conformance-review fixes for the TASK-017 exec-evidence stage:
- run_checks.py: total-runtime deadline (3300s = node timeout minus margin);
each command gets min(900s, remaining budget), commands past the deadline
are recorded as {cmd, skipped: deadline} entries so in-script handling
stays authoritative instead of the node timeout killing the script from
outside. POSIX hardening: per-command process group (start_new_session)
+ killpg on timeout so hung grandchildren cannot linger; non-POSIX
limitation documented in the docstring.
- graph.yaml: run_checks gains fallback: pipeline_fault; check_criterion
treats SKIPPED records as at-best PARTIAL (unproven, never failed).
- pipeline_fault.py: run_checks-stage attribution grounded in real engine
behavior (script-node fallback writes nothing into state, executor.rs
script arm) — nonempty diff_text proves facts completed, so the fault is
the verification runner; emits 'PIPELINE-FAULT: verification runner
killed'. Empty diff_text still attributes to diff resolution.
- verdict.py: renders skipped records as [SKIPPED] instead of a bogus
[FAIL] exit-? line; non-degraded verdict semantics untouched.
- tests: outer-except ENVIRONMENT degradation, deadline timeout+skip (env
seam ADVERSARY_RUN_CHECKS_DEADLINE_SECS), pipeline_fault stage
attribution (parse / facts / run_checks), check_criterion prompt cites
{{exec_results}}, verdict SKIPPED rendering; run_adversary_script_env
helper for env-carrying invocations.
- cargo fmt violations in 3d7dea9 test code fixed (fmt --check exit 0).
