verdict_gate.py now names every incomplete review on a machine line the
done template renders immediately after the verdict:
`GAUNTLET_REVIEW_INCOMPLETE: <name>[, <name>]` (sorted). Names are the
lanes retry_gate gave up on (`review_incomplete`) plus the `pipeline`
pseudo-lane whenever `signals_error` carries a `PIPELINE-FAULT:` —
parse death, builder / retry-gate / default-lanes crash guards — and the
gate's own crash guard emits the `pipeline` line too. The report gains a
`## Review incomplete` section (after the signals_error blockquote,
immediately before `## Full lane reports`) and the three PIPELINE-FAULT
lane rows carry ` ×N` when the lane was re-run (N = 1 texts unchanged).
retry_gate.py stands in a synthetic `PIPELINE-FAULT: <lane> lane produced
no report` marker for a lane that ran but collected nothing, so it is
stashed, classified FAULTED and never renders SKIPPED downstream.
MAX_RETRY_ELAPSED_SECS trimmed 45600 → 45000 for margin slack.
graph.yaml: `gauntlet_incomplete_line` seeded in initial_state and
spliced into the done output. README + mermaid document retry_gate, the
dotted _next back-edge, the 3-attempt / wall-clock budget, that retry
never narrows selection, the crash-guard append semantics, and the
machine-line contract (present whenever any lane or the pipeline was
incomplete; it can accompany real findings).
Tests: ×N on all three branches (N>1, N=1 byte-identical, no leak onto
non-fault rows), exact incomplete line / section placement, pipeline
pseudo-lane alone and alongside real lanes (via default_lanes.py's real
crash guard), mixed finding+fault, crash-guard chaining from
build_items / retry_gate / parse_fault / verdict_gate, synthetic
no-report marker, done-template wiring, README pins (positive + stale
negative).
verdict_gate.py: the code-review critical count is read from render.py's
deterministic summary line (full-shape regex, LAST match wins — a 🔴
quoted inside a finding body or Changes-table row is not a finding); the
raw 🔴 count remains the fail-closed fallback when the line is absent. A
code-review lane whose own rendered verdict line records a pipeline
fault (degraded nested run) now BLOCKS instead of passing as GREEN
(attention), and fault + reds append both blockers. A non-string lane
result item is BLOCKED as malformed, never routed to GREEN.
default_lanes.py: the crash handler now emits the WIDEST safe selection
(code-review ∪ adversary ∪ security) and records a PIPELINE-FAULT in
signals_error so the gate blocks — previously it repaired malformed state
into a NARROWER passable selection with no fault. Probe is added only
when consumer_surface AND a probe_context (local-run recipe) are present,
mirroring build_items' guard, so degraded selection cannot spawn an
INCONCLUSIVE-by-construction probe.
graph.yaml: re-derive the timeout envelope. Agent-node retries each get a
fresh per-attempt budget (agent.rs retry_transient/bounded_attempt) and
the child's "Graph … timed out" matches the transient anchor, so lanes
exceed their child graph's settings.timeout (code-review 11400 > 10800,
adversary 9600 > 9000) and the gauntlet's own timeout covers
max_attempts × lane timeout + margin (2 × 11400 + 1200 = 24000). The
child graphs' internal retry envelopes are deliberately not derived here
(tracked as a follow-up). README/descriptions updated and pinned.
Tests: summary-count/quoted-🔴/fallback/last-match/nested-fault/both-
blockers/malformed-lane, crash-widens-and-records-fault, probe guard,
ALIASES parity with build_items, and e2e render.py → verdict_gate runs.
state_updates::apply merged EVERY top-level key of an llm/agent node's JSON
output into graph state whenever the node had an output_schema, and
structured::extract never validated the output against that schema. Any
prompt text able to steer the model — including plan/diff text pasted from a
repo under review — could therefore plant an undeclared key (e.g.
verification_commands) into state and overwrite a caller-declared value
before a downstream script consumed it.
- apply() now takes the node's output_schema and merges only keys present in
schema.properties; undeclared keys are dropped. No schema, or a schema
without an object properties map, merges nothing.
- Nodes without output_schema are unchanged (None == the old false path);
explicit state_updates are unchanged and still see the full output via
{{output.<key>}}, which remains the author-controlled way to lift a key.
- Callers: llm.rs, agent.rs (x2), rag.rs (None).
- Sweep test bundled_graph_output_schemas_declare_every_key_relied_on: for
every bundled graph, every consumed state key has a declared writer
(initial_state, variable, state_updates target, map key, script-emitted key,
or an output_schema property), and no schema node's field list names a key
its schema omits — so this restriction cannot silently break a shipped
graph. It passes with no graph.yaml changes.
- graph.example.yaml documents the declared-keys-only merge; the residual
disclosed in 665fee9's README/docstring notes is now recorded as closed.
verification_commands — the shell commands the adversary's run_checks stage
executes — were extracted by the LLM parse node from {{initial_prompt}}, a
flat prompt that also carries untrusted plan/diff text pasted from the repo
under review. A planted '## VERIFICATION' block was indistinguishable from the
caller's declaration: prompt injection -> arbitrary command execution.
- adversary + review-gauntlet graphs declare verification_commands as a graph
variable (default '[]'); the key leaves initial_state (or_insert seeding
would otherwise shadow it) and leaves both parse nodes' instructions,
output_schema.properties and required.
- review-gauntlet forwards it to run_adversary via a structured inputs:
passthrough (lone {{verification_commands}} template), not lane-prompt prose.
- run_checks.py accepts a JSON list or a JSON-encoded string of one (variables
arrive as strings); '[]'/[]/missing = none declared; any other shape fails
closed with a PIPELINE-FAULT (nothing executed) that verdict.py turns into
DIVERGES complaint #1.
- architect/sisyphus spawn templates and both READMEs document the
--variables / --agent-variable form and the trust boundary. Known residual
(llm-node auto-merge of undeclared output keys) is disclosed in the docs.
- Tests: list/JSON-string acceptance, fail-closed no-execution proof,
prompt-prose injection proof, verdict wiring, asset pins for both graphs and
orchestrator configs, dispatch-inputs > variable-override > default
precedence.
