+27 fb453f2930 fix(mcp): support retained pseudocode summaries and paging (#5046)
* refactor(mcp): share official tool evidence registration

Route official tools through registerEvidenceTools and remove the duplicate
execution, progress, and Evidence delivery pipeline.

Preserve relationship coverage in the shared path and reuse the existing
source Evidence recording helper.

Validation: typecheck and 29 focused MCP tests passed.
Real native providers were not exercised.

* fix(mcp): support retained pseudocode summaries and paging

Allow procedure_pseudo_code to return an opt-in summary linked to its
retained complete Evidence. Extend inspect_analysis_view to page the
original pseudocode without repeating provider analysis.

Preserve default complete output and exclude delivery detail from
provider parameters and source Evidence identity.

Add regression coverage for large results, Unicode, null and empty
output, missing retention, transport-overflow recovery, and CLI paging.

Validation: 178 focused tests, build, check, docs:check, and test discovery
passed. Real stdio simulation reconstructed 98,000 code units exactly.
Real Ghidra, iTunes, and Claude Code verification remains unavailable.

Fixes #5032

* test(mcp): scope pseudocode contract lookup to official tools

* feat(desktop): capture and export apps installed from a downloaded .deb (#8954)

* feat(desktop): capture a Linux desktop application in use

Add `capture-desktop-application`, a CLI-only, Linux and X11 capture that
launches an installed desktop application, watches it while it is used and
writes capture Evidence plus SHA-256 addressed content:

- inventory: desktop entry, launch command, executable, package and its
  apt sources (or snap, flatpak, AppImage), Electron markers and candidate
  state directories;
- session: the launched process tree, client windows from xprop with the
  first application window time and a window match, and files held open;
- state: a stat walk of the home directory before launch, at checkpoints
  read from stdin, at stop and after exit, with created, modified, deleted
  and retyped paths and the content of changed files and state directories.

It refuses non-Linux hosts, missing DISPLAY or xprop, a non-empty output
folder and an application whose window is already open, and signals only
processes it started.

* fix(desktop): own launched processes, confirm walk coverage and keep cancelled captures

- Launch through the owned provider path with a run token; release with
  SIGTERM, then the token-verified group cleanup, after every session.
  Processes without the token are never signalled; each records whether it
  carries it, and the session records whether cleanup was verified.
- Report creations and deletions only where a walk listed the nearest
  existing directory; count the rest as unconfirmed.
- Retain a file only when it is still the walked version, through owned
  no-follow reads; charge the budget only for new content; create files
  exclusively in a private output folder owned by the caller.
- Walk content roots outside the home directory, compare paths in their
  physical spelling, and run executables from the caller's directory.
- Refuse when the window list cannot be read, re-evaluate window ownership
  each sample, handle one queued request per sample with a bounded stdin
  queue, and write the capture with end reason `cancelled` on interruption.

* fix(desktop): keep owned cleanup failures and fresh digests

- Allow a capture cancelled before any requested checkpoint to hold only the
  baseline.
- Retry an incomplete stop once; if cleanup is still unverified, write the
  capture and fail with the run token and process group as cleanup
  resources.
- Classify path changes after a walk (ENOTDIR and other selected-file
  errors) as changed_since_walk instead of failing the capture.
- Treat a non-directory ancestor as proof that nothing existed beneath it.
- Report a before digest only for the file version it was read from.
- Derive stderr_truncated from stderr's own byte counts.

* wip(desktop): state view over a capture folder

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep failed file-handle closes owned for retry

Content reads pass retainFailedClose, so a handle whose close fails stays
owned by the content store; the capture retries those closes after it is
written and fails with the output folder as the cleanup resource if one
still cannot be closed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(desktop): read a captured application's state

Add inspect-desktop-application-state, a CLI command that reads a capture
folder into the application's state: every retained or changed file with
its role and reasons, a typed JSON view of each version (SQLite through the
shared worker, dconf through a private dconf dump, JSON, XML, key files,
text) and the kinds of change between versions (lines, values, keys, rows).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): report process and handle cleanup failures together

When both the launched processes and a retained file's handle remain
unresolved after the capture is written, one cleanup error now lists both
reasons and both resource sets.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(desktop): export a captured application as an agentenv computer app

Add export-desktop-application, which writes an agentenv bundle with one
computer_app environment from a capture folder and its state view: the
apt package, a boot launch matched on the captured window class with a
window ready check, owned paths from the state roles, a seed of the
baseline files, data hooks that call agentenv's add/get/reset helpers
with a typed JSON view on get, a skill, a README and a deploy smoke task.
The desktop CLI commands now load their services lazily.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep state views faithful to the capture

- Read key files, XML attributes, dconf groups and SQLite tables into
  dictionaries without inherited properties, so captured keys such as
  __proto__ stay data.
- Version databases with their write-ahead log as of each checkpoint, and
  stage only digest-verified bytes for the SQLite and dconf readers.
- Detect the format per version, report format changes, keep JSON null and
  empty containers as values, keep XML text and preserved whitespace, and
  mark truncated views (including XML depth) and comparisons of them.
- Number versions and changes by checkpoint index, decide baseline
  presence from the captured type, and keep tagged SQLite integers, text
  bytes and blobs distinct.
- Carry the capture's limitations and omitted content forward, match state
  directories by their home path, index changes once per capture, keep
  failed handle closes owned, and finish the CLI through the shared owner.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep coverage, logs and handles honest in the state view

- Read coverage flags only from formats whose readers write them, so JSON
  fields named truncated stay data.
- Fail a SQLite version whose write-ahead log existed but was not retained
  or does not match its digest, instead of reading the database alone.
- Close retained content on every exit, including cancellation, and report
  a close that still fails together with the primary failure.
- Finish the CLI with the canonical operation name.

* fix(desktop): export only what the computer can install and seed

- Refuse packages not from the Ubuntu 24.04 archive, since the computer
  installs by name from that archive.
- Start the launch command in the captured working directory.
- Respell the home path only in files the state view read as text.
- Report files that were not retained instead of dropping them silently.
- Load captured dconf keys for apps that own no files.
- Keep home-level files as owned paths; rename reserved Python class names.
- Mark truncated SQLite and text views in the class's get view, and read
  file types the way the state view does.
- Release the output tree through a resource scope, and read seeds through
  an owner closed on every exit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep staged folders owned, symlinked state roots and XML values

- Stage database bytes in a private runtime root released through a
  resource scope, so a failed removal keeps its owner and is reported with
  the read's outcome.
- Report cleanup facts and owners from desktop failures instead of
  wrapping them as a plain adapter error.
- Record the state directories as walked, in their physical spelling, and
  match roles against both spellings, so files in a symlinked state
  directory are not mistaken for selected documents.
- Keep whitespace-only XML leaf values; drop only formatting between
  elements.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): read XML in the exported app the way the state view does

Keep whitespace-only leaf values and xml:space="preserve" text in the
generated get view; drop only formatting between elements.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): release retained handles with their owners, read older captures

- Release retained-content handles whose close failed through a resource
  scope on every exit; a release that fails again reports the exact handle
  owners. A read that finished keeps its bytes when only its close failed.
- Accept captures written before state directories were recorded, and say
  in the state view's limitations that symlinked state directories may be
  misclassed for them.
- Compute each XML element's whitespace context once instead of scanning
  siblings for every text run.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): boot without the working folder, bound XML, accept mirrors

- Try the captured working directory only when an argument is relative,
  and start the app even when that folder is missing.
- Cut the generated XML view at REA's node and depth limits, and keep one
  unreadable file from failing data/get.
- Accept Ubuntu 24.04 mirrors, not only the canonical hosts; PPAs and
  other repositories are still refused.
- Read seeds through the retained-content owner's new signature.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): state view review round

- Stage a retained -journal beside its database so the SQLite worker
  accepts an inactive journal and refuses a hot one; a -wal or -journal
  that existed but was not retained (including one omitted at the
  baseline) makes the version unreadable.
- Keep tables that read when another fails, and let cancellation and
  unfinished cleanup propagate instead of becoming view errors.
- Read text as a key file only when every line parses as one.
- Rank a file named in a window title or selected by the caller as a
  document even when the application holds it open; match titles on
  file-name boundaries; leave the display name out of dconf matching.
- Bound JSON and key file views (4 MiB, 500 levels, exact numbers) and
  report too-large, missing and altered retained content separately.
- Add no version or change while a database stays absent.
- Read staged databases in place instead of copying them again.
- Give Evidence the same limitations as the result.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): export review round

- Load captured dconf keys without D-Bus: install dconf-cli, compile the
  existing and captured key files into the user database, and warn on
  failure instead of stopping the server.
- Start relative-argument launches in the captured working directory,
  the home included, since the framework launches from the app folder;
  respell the home itself and option values under it.
- Read views in a thread, skip files over 64 MiB, align the generated
  readers with the state view's, and close SQLite connections.
- Never own the home or a shared base folder; map a symlinked state
  directory's files back to their home spelling.
- Report omitted files and unretained opened folders.
- Name the module so it cannot shadow another, and keep the class off
  the module's own names; derive names the bundle check accepts.
- Write seeds as they are read, and remove an unpublished bundle on
  failure.

* fix(desktop): capture review round

- Ask the launch process group and token carriers to exit before
  killing them, on errors too; report incomplete cleanup with its facts.
- Count descendants of the launch as started by the capture even when
  their environment cannot be read; treat a reused pid as a new process.
- Follow symlinked desktop entries; name a flatpak's state after its
  application id; match flatpak windows by name only.
- Stop on end of input; refuse empty, duplicate and reserved checkpoint
  names; require whitespace after the checkpoint keyword.
- Stay on each walk root's device, and never walk or retain `/` or a
  directory containing the home; say so in the limitations.
- Refuse a window manager that does not publish _NET_CLIENT_LIST.
- Remove retained content when a capture fails before it is written.
- Skip reading a file larger than the remaining content budget.
- Record apt's archive origin for each package source.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): read an unset client list as no windows when supported

xfwm4 leaves _NET_CLIENT_LIST unset while it manages no windows, so the
capture refused an ordinary desktop with nothing open. Read
_NET_SUPPORTED with the list: an unset list means no windows when the
window manager supports it, and the capture is refused only when it
does not. `xprop`'s "no such atom" output now reads as unset too.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): accept packages by apt's archive origin

Accept a package source when apt reports its origin as Ubuntu for a
noble suite, so mirrors count and PPAs or other repositories that merely
have "ubuntu" in their URL do not. Captures made before origins were
recorded fall back to Canonical's own archive hosts. Seed reads report
why retained content could not be used.

* feat(desktop): capture and export apps from vendor apt repositories

A closed-source app installed from its vendor's apt repository, such as
Typora, can now be captured and exported as a computer app.

- The capture records each non-Ubuntu repository listing the installed
  version (uri, suite, components from apt's sources files, one-line or
  deb822) and the key that signs it: the signed-by key, or the trusted
  key that gpgv shows verifies the repository's signed index. The key
  is retained with the capture.
- The capture records the packages owning the libraries the executable
  loads (DT_NEEDED with RUNPATH and the linker cache, through REA's ELF
  readers), since a vendor package may not depend on them.
- The export declares a verified vendor repository as an AptSource with
  its key, installs a vendor package's library packages, and adds
  --no-sandbox to an Electron app's launch, since a container denies
  Chromium's sandbox.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): report a locked database at once in data/get

A database the running app holds locked made each data/get wait sqlite's
five-second busy timeout before reporting it. Record the Typora run in an
agentenv computer in the verification.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf(desktop): detect key files without splitting the whole text

Read lines one at a time and stop at the first that a key file view
would drop, instead of splitting a file of up to 64 MiB into arrays
before its format is known.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep symlinked homes and state folders under the home in exports

- Respell a path under its state folder's logical spelling only when that
  spelling is under the captured home, so a symlinked HOME keeps its
  files; pair walked and logical state folders only when the capture
  lists the same number, and match the innermost folder first.
- When two files map to one home path, keep the one present before the
  capture and name the other in the limitations.
- Read key files in the generated data/get with the state view's rule,
  checked against it by running the helper under python3.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): end captures on zombies and keep cleanup owners

- A zombie or dead process no longer keeps the session open.
- Remove only the partial capture file this run created.
- Keep the exact owners of handles and processes whose cleanup failed on
  the returned error, so a retry can release them; test the published
  capture's cleanup-failure branch with mixed outcomes and retries.
- Release the application once even when the exit checkpoint fails.
- A cancellation before the capture is written removes what it retained.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): vendor package review round

- Match apt sources through `apt-get indextargets`, which covers flat `./`
  and `/` suites and gives each release file and sources entry.
- Accept a key whose signature verifies even when the release carries
  another signature without a key here; keep only the verifying key from
  a keyring holding several (OpenPGP packet splitter).
- Install the package from its repository's release (`name/<release>`),
  declare one source per URI and suite, support only the capture host's
  architecture, and refuse Ubuntu Pro repositories.
- List only library packages the computer can install; walk libraries only
  for vendor installs, with RPATH inherited as ld.so does, normalized
  paths, and DT_NEEDED bounded while reading.
- Put --no-sandbox after the program an env wrapper launches; keep the
  gpgv folder's owner when its removal fails; respect --max-file-bytes for
  keys; wait 0.25 s on a busy SQLite database in data/get.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(desktop): keep the vendor spec's gpgv command on one line

A code span broken across lines left `<binary keyring>` for VitePress to
read as an unclosed HTML tag, so the docs build failed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(desktop): add a validated task to exported desktop applications

Each capture can now yield one agentenv task in its exported bundle. An
agent writes the task (a prompt plus declarative checks over the app's
data/get views); REA validates it and stays model-free.

- `describe-desktop-application-task` summarises a capture's net change
  per file (role, format, views before and after) and drafts checks.
- Checks: file presence, lines present/absent/counted, JSON-pointer values,
  SQLite rows and counts. REA keeps a task only if a check fails on the
  seed and every check passes on the captured end state; a file that was
  not retained at the baseline counts as absent, as the computer starts.
- `export-desktop-application --task` writes tasks/NAME.json (deploy,
  agent, skills, recording, prompt, verifier), a compiled verify.py that
  reads data/get, and an eval. A boundary test runs the verifier under
  python3 and checks it agrees with REA's evaluator on every check kind.
- Docs, spec and skill guidance, with the solve-rate recipe.

* docs(desktop): record the Typora task run in an agentenv computer

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep task checks bounded, complete and attributable

- line_count counts lines holding a substring (contains) instead of
  matching a regular expression, which could stall the verifier on
  agent-written text and read differently in Python.
- value_equals of a whole object or array is undecided on a truncated
  view.
- The draft keeps a database whose rows changed under an unchanged hash,
  and a file whose truncated views match while it changed.
- A task file that cannot be read keeps the reader's detail, and a failed
  cleanup keeps the read failure as its primary.

* docs(desktop): record the task solve rate with Claude Code and Sonnet 5.5

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(desktop): capture and export apps installed from a downloaded .deb

capture-desktop-application --package-file reads the file's control fields
with dpkg-deb and records its SHA-256, size and dependencies when it holds the
installed package; the file itself is never kept. The library walk now also
runs for local installs.

export-desktop-application --package-url declares agentenv's
Download(url, sha256) for that file, its dependencies and library packages as
apt packages, and a run script that installs it with dpkg.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): seed app-named dotfiles and respell UTF-16 seeds

The capture now treats dotfiles in the home named after the application
(.varicad-cfg.ini, .notesrc) as state roots, so a file the app only reads
during the capture is still seeded. The exported seeding respells the
captured home in UTF-16 text files with a byte-order mark, keeping the mark.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): hold readiness until the app's own window shows

An exported app is ready only once a window of its class that the taskbar
lists is shown, so a splash screen of the class, which skips the taskbar, no
longer counts as the app being up.

* docs(desktop): record VariCAD captured, exported and run in an agentenv computer

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep exported views strict JSON for infinite and inexact numbers

The exported data/get spells infinite and negative-zero SQLite reals as REA's
SQLite reader does ("Infinity", "-Infinity", "-0"), and refuses a JSON file
holding a number that reading would change (1e999, integers past 2^53, -0,
rounded fractions) with the state view's own error, instead of a view with
an infinity in it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep package-file facts tied to one file and URLs unechoed

- A --package-url refusal never repeats the URL, and credentials are checked
  before the scheme.
- The package file's identity must hold between dpkg-deb's read and the hash.
- A failed close keeps its cleanup owner even when the capture is cancelled.
- Readiness also ignores windows typed as splash screens.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): record database logs and keep state changes distinct

- A selected path that is not a directory brings its -wal and -journal as
  content roots, so the capture records whether they exist and retains them.
- The state view treats a file as absent only under recorded content roots
  and refuses a database whose log presence is unknown.
- JSON changes list containers too, so an array that becomes an object with
  the same members is a change.
- Key file entries escape the key as a JSON pointer segment, so [a/b] c and
  [a] b/c stay apart.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep watching through unread samples and late workers

- An unreadable window list is unknown, not zero windows, and is named in
  the limitations.
- Before ending the session, live run-token carriers no parent link reached
  are tracked; an unreadable process table leaves the exit unknown.
- An env prefix's assignments find the program and name its XDG folders.
- flatpak run options that take a value are skipped with it, -- is honoured
  and a /arch/branch suffix is dropped from the id.
- State directories include the entry's full id.
- Path options refuse empty values; roots count toward the entry limit.
- A capture file whose close failed stays owned and is retried on discard.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): bound apt sources, keep older captures and cleanup owners

- Sources files parse into one stanza per line or deb822 paragraph with its
  URIs and suites kept as lists, so no URI x suite product is built.
- Repository architectures and release are optional, so captures written
  before they were recorded parse; the export treats them as unrestricted
  and unknown.
- Library sources are matched against every index of a declared
  repository's URI, suite and components.
- Two failures side by side keep both causes and both cleanup owners, and a
  host file whose close fails reports a lease on its handle.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): match escaped key file entries and suggest containers through members

- The draft's key file lookup uses the state view's escaped `group/key`, so a
  key holding `/` or `~` still gets its suggestion.
- JSON and XML changes now list containers too; the draft suggests an added
  or removed container through its listed members, and a container only
  when none of its members is listed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): read relative PATH entries from the launch folder

A program, or an empty or relative PATH entry, is resolved from the folder the
program starts in, as the launch does, so `env PATH=. app` with the entry's
Path still finds the app.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf(desktop): compare JSON views on one shared path

JSON and XML changes are found by walking both trees with one shared pointer
path, building a pointer only for a listed value, so memory follows depth
rather than every container's full path. A pointer over 4096 characters is
counted but not listed. A 256-level document with 4000-character keys went
from about 251 MiB of heap to under 1 MiB.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep JSON Lines as text in the exported reader

The exported reader parses the whole text before an inexact number makes it
JSON with an error, so JSON Lines with an integer above 2^53 stay text as in
REA. Over-long integer spellings are unsafe without converting them. The
guide no longer claims large integers keep their value.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep the state-path help free of dash-led words

The CLI alias check reads `-wal` and `-journal` in help text as short flags,
so the help names the write-ahead log and rollback journal instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): never record or export apt source credentials

- Source URIs lose any user name and password as they are parsed, the way apt
  splits them, and so do index-target URIs and descriptions and the sources
  apt-cache policy lists, so matching works whether or not apt prints them.
- A repository whose entry held credentials is marked
  `uri_credentials_removed`, and the export refuses it, or an older capture
  whose URI still holds them, with a reason that names no URL.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): look programs up without normalizing their paths

Program paths and PATH entries are joined rather than resolved, so `..` after
a symbolic link means what it means to the launch. The lookup moves to its own
module.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): note inexact JSON numbers with a flag, not a list

The exported reader only needs to know whether any number was inexact, so it
keeps a boolean instead of every rejected spelling.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): refuse older captures that still hold apt credentials

A capture written before credentials were removed counted the credentialed
repository's libraries as installable, so the export refuses it whole and asks
for a new capture rather than declaring packages no source offers. Recorded
policy sources are redacted in export messages too.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(desktop): keep the credential fixture on an example host

A login on a real host reads as a secret to the commit scanner, so the older
capture's fixture uses apt.example.com like the other credential tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): tidy looked-up paths and search relative entries only for env

Empty and `.` segments are dropped from a looked-up program path, which keeps
`/snap/bin/` entries recognisable as snaps, while `..` is still left for the
kernel. Relative and empty PATH entries are searched only in the PATH an `env`
prefix sets, which travels with the exported launch; the host's own PATH does
not.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): keep excluded and unwalked database logs unknown

The capture records the paths every walk left out, and the state view treats
a log as absent only under content roots the baseline walked completely and
outside those exclusions, so an excluded or unvisited log leaves the database
unread rather than read without it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): judge JSON numbers after duplicate keys settle

The exported reader marks an inexact number instead of flagging it during the
parse, then looks for marks in the parsed value, so a number a later duplicate
key overwrote no longer refuses the file, as in REA.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): redact a repository's policy source when it names it

An older capture whose policy source matched no sources entry kept that text
whole, and the export named the repository by it; the export now names it
without any user name or password.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(desktop): never signal the launch group on unknown membership

When the current read cannot observe a carrier's process group, the carrier
is signalled on its own instead of letting an older process-table row grant
a group-wide SIGTERM.

* fix(desktop): look programs up in the launch's order and refuse host-relative finds

The lookup searches PATH as the launch does, an empty entry meaning the
launch folder, so inspection and launch name the same program. A program found
only through a relative or empty entry of the host's own PATH is refused,
since the exported computer would not have it; an env prefix's PATH travels
with the command.

* fix(desktop): count unchecked paths and keep logs behind them unknown

Each walk counts the paths it could not stat and the directories on another
device it did not enter, and the checkpoint records it as `unchecked_paths`.
The state view treats a log as absent only when the baseline left nothing
unchecked, so a log whose stat failed stays unknown.

* perf(desktop): scan parsed JSON with one iterator per level

The check for marked numbers walks the parsed value with an iterator per

array went from about 15.7 MiB to 8.1 MiB of peak traced memory.

An exported launch whose program path is relative, such as `./app` from an

already did for relative arguments.

* fix(setup): replace the fixed Hopper download deadline with a stall timeout (#7150)

* fix(setup): replace the fixed Hopper download deadline with a stall timeout

Hopper package downloads aborted after a fixed 120 s, which was also the
largest deadline the download owner accepted. The current 32 MB Linux
package needs about 132 s at the reporter's sustained 245 KB/s, so setup
could never finish on that connection, and the timeout surfaced only as
Node's generic abort message.

Abort a download when no response bytes arrive for 30 s, or when it
outlives a 15-minute overall bound, with a tagged
HopperDownloadTimeoutError that names the URL, the limit reached and the
bytes received. Linux and macOS setup already relay a thrown download
error's message; the Linux publisher now keeps it for release metadata
and public key fetches instead of a generic verification failure.
Metadata and key fetches keep their 10 s bound.

* fix(setup): keep the macOS release feed on the metadata limit

The stall-timeout change left the macOS release feed fetch on the
package download bounds. That fetch could then wait up to 15 minutes
instead of the 120 s it had, while the installation guide says release
metadata keeps a 10 s limit. Only the Linux publisher owned that limit.

Move the 10 s metadata limit into HopperDownload.ts beside the package
bounds. The Linux feed and key fetches use it, and the macOS installer
now passes it for its feed fetch through the installer host.

* fix(cli): parse environment-serve --port and --host like rea mcp --http (#7092)

* fix(cli): parse environment-serve --port and --host like rea mcp --http

environment-serve declared --port as a number, so incur coerced the flag text with Number(): an empty --port= bound an ephemeral port instead of failing, and 0x1F90 or 1e3 were reinterpreted. --host accepted whitespace. docs/cli.md says these flags resolve like rea mcp --http, which accepts only decimal port text and a non-empty trimmed host. The flags now use the same rules and are refused before binding.

* refactor(cli): reuse the shared MCP listener port and host schemas

* fix(adb): separate unresolvable paths and host capacity in adb spawn failures (#6188)

* fix(adb): name unexecutable adb paths in readiness refusals

When REA_ADB_PATH or the PATH-resolved adb is a directory or a file the
host refuses to execute, the version probe fails at spawn with EACCES or
EPERM. That fell through to the generic "did not report a usable version"
refusal, which named neither the path nor the cause.

Classify those spawn errors as binary_not_executable (provider rejection
executable_missing), name the selected path and errno, and give
remediation for the environment, PATH and host-policy cases. The generic
fallback now names the selected path too.

Fixes #5689

* fix(process): admit synchronous spawn errors as captured failures

Node throws spawn errors other than EACCES, EAGAIN, EMFILE, ENFILE and
ENOENT synchronously from execFile. execFileBytes called execFile inside
its Promise executor, so ENOTDIR or EPERM became a rejection without
capture fields and execFileOutputFailure returned undefined. Consumers
that classify by failure code, such as the adb version probe, could not
see the code, which left the adb EPERM branch unreachable.

Catch synchronous spawn errno errors at the capture boundary and attach
the same empty capture an asynchronous spawn failure carries. Argument
validation errors stay unadmitted.

The adb version probe now reports an ENOTDIR selected path, such as a
REA_ADB_PATH whose parent is a regular file, as a missing binary with
the filesystem error code instead of the generic version refusal.

* fix(process): expose spawn failures from the capture owner

execFileBytes knows when a command never started, but
ExecFileOutputFailure did not say so, so consumers reread raw syscall
and code fields and disagreed. Mark both the synchronous throw and an
asynchronous `spawn <path>` error with `spawnFailed: true`, and set
`path` on the synchronous error to match the asynchronous shape.
Argument validation errors stay unadmitted.

Consumers now use the owner field:

- inspectAdbClient never reports a spawn errno as `exit_code`. ENOENT,
  ENOTDIR, ELOOP and ENAMETOOLONG are `binary_missing`; EACCES and EPERM
  stay `binary_not_executable`; any other spawn errno, such as EINVAL,
  is `binary_not_executable` with a path-naming "could not be started"
  message. Each records `filesystem_error` and `path_source`. EACCES
  remediation also names parent directory search permission, and EPERM
  remediation no longer names host policy as the only cause.
- DarwinProcessRunTokenReader tags every not-started compiler as
  `spawn_failed`, not only ENOENT. EACCES, EPERM and ENOTDIR were
  previously `failed`.
- NativeDmgArtifactReader uses one not-started rule for both
  `processNotStarted` (previously `spawn ` only, so synchronous errors
  were missed) and the ENOENT unavailable/io split (previously any
  `spawn` prefix). Its fake hosts now reject with real execFileOutput
  spawn failures.

* fix(process): classify spawn failures consistently across consumers

Admit synchronous and asynchronous spawn errnos through one helper that
requires an errno and a `spawn` or `spawn <path>` syscall. The
synchronous shape now also gains `spawnargs`, so both shapes match.

Use the owner's `spawnFailed` fact in the remaining consumers:

- inspectAdbClient reports exhausted host capacity (EAGAIN, EMFILE,
  ENFILE, ENOMEM) as a host failure to retry and no longer tells the
  caller to change REA_ADB_PATH. Path-resolution errnos come from a
  predicate the filesystem owner exports.
- runAdbCapture says adb could not be started instead of claiming an
  exit code for a process that never ran.
- The Darwin compiler probe words every spawn_failed outcome as a start
  failure, not a compilation failure.
- Asset catalog inspection treats any assetutil that never started as
  unavailable, not only ENOENT.

* fix(process): report host spawn capacity as a retryable constraint

Spawn errnos that report exhausted host capacity (EAGAIN, EMFILE, ENFILE,
ENOMEM) were classified by adb readiness alone. assetutil reported them as
an unavailable tool, which marked inspect_asset_catalog unavailable in the
session, and adb commands reported them as protocol failures.

Classify them once in the process capture owner and report a retryable
capacity constraint with recovery advice from assetutil and adb commands.

* docs(adb): describe host capacity failures from device operations

* fix(adb): report exhausted host spawn capacity as runtime unavailability

A host that cannot start adb for lack of process, memory or descriptor
capacity is not a configuration problem. Give it its own failure code and
map it to the runtime_unavailable provider rejection instead of
not_configured.

* fix(adb): report probe-time host capacity as a retryable constraint

A device operation whose adb version probe could not start for lack of host
capacity was refused as capability_unavailable without retryable. It now
reports the same retryable capacity constraint as a later adb command.

* fix(adb): keep the selected adb path in probe-time capacity errors

The retryable capacity constraint raised at the version probe dropped the
selected_binary and path_source diagnostics the refusal used to carry.

* refactor(adb): keep the spawn-failure fact to adb consumers

Restore the DMG reader, Darwin compiler probe and assetutil to main. The
capture owner still marks a never-started command, including the spawn
errors Node throws synchronously, and only the adb readiness probe and
adb commands read that fact.

* test(adb): assert spawn-failure facts instead of refusal wording

The new adb tests compared complete refusal sentences and banned an old
phrase. They now check the errno, selected path, path source and the
owner's spawn-failure marker, so wording edits do not break them.

* fix(adb): own one host-capacity remediation and cover the spawn route

The host-capacity constraint and the configuration failure each carried their own remediation sentence. AdbConfiguration now owns the text and both use it, so the constraint's remediation.action equals diagnostics.remediation.

The synchronous spawn-throw test now runs on Node's execFile route and on the owned spawn route adb uses (stopSignal). The provider test covers inspect_adb_client under EMFILE next to list_adb_devices, and the docs say which operations report the retryable capacity constraint and which report runtime_unavailable.

* fix(process): report EMFILE and ENFILE spawn failures without stdio

After an EMFILE or ENFILE spawn failure Node creates no stdio, so the
owned stop-signal route threw a TypeError while reading the streams and
the later spawn error went unhandled. Attach the error listener first and
capture absent streams as empty, so adb reports retryable host capacity.

* fix(adb): keep a completed push when host capacity stops its digest check

A capacity failure starting sha256sum came back as a retryable error even
though adb push had already written the file. Repeating the request with
overwrite=false is then refused because the destination exists.

Return the receipt with an unavailable device digest and name the capacity
failure in its limitations, so the caller is told the transfer is unverified
rather than advised to retry.

* docs(adb): list host capacity as an unverified push case

purge --purge-data reported a REA_KUNA_CACHE_DIR selection below the default Kuna cache as retained, then removed it together with its parent namespace. A namespace that contains the selection is now retained and reported, so the retained report is true.

Fixes #7344

* fix(uninstall): also keep a namespace equal to, or reached by symlink traversal from, the selected Kuna cache

Compare the namespace and the selection with the same normalization, treat an equal path as contained, and resolve existing paths before planning so a symbolic link followed by .. is judged by where it leads.

* fix(uninstall): judge a selection with parent traversal where the filesystem resolves it

Collapsing .. lexically contradicts the existing rule that parent traversal after a symbolic link leads elsewhere, and broke the retained-through-symlink-traversal test. Compare spellings without .. directly and resolve existing paths for the rest, so the symlink-parent case still purges the default cache while a selection that resolves into a managed namespace is retained.

* fix(uninstall): keep a namespace whole when the selection's location is unknown

A realpath failure other than ENOENT/ENOTDIR (for example EACCES under an
inaccessible parent) no longer counts as "absent". Each namespace that may
contain the caller-selected Kuna cache is retained instead of purged.

* fix(changed-behavior): withhold equality for unknowns and contradictions (#7624)

find_changed_behavior derived behavior_status from each process
comparison's aggregate status alone. An unchanged comparison whose
first_divergence was unknown (residual unknowns prevent proving no
divergence) and a consistent contradiction comparison both fell
through to observed_unchanged, with no unresolved finding and no
changed-behavior registry unknown.

An unchanged comparison with unknown divergence now counts as unknown
and adds one comparison-level unresolved first_divergence finding
carrying its reason, as artifact comparisons already do for coverage.
A contradiction status makes the aggregate unknown, and contradiction
dimensions are classified and counted as contradictions instead of
unresolved branches. Complete unchanged comparisons stay
observed_unchanged and changed comparisons with unknown localization
stay observed_changed.

* fix(process): reject contradictory filesystem capture facts (#7631)

* fix(process): reject captures whose top-level filesystem facts contradict their checkpoints

A process capture records its filesystem state twice: files_before,
files_after and filesystem_effects at the top level, and the initial
and final filesystem_checkpoints. Validation never reconciled the two,
and comparison reads only the checkpoints. A caller-authored capture
recording a created file at the top level while its final checkpoint
was empty was therefore accepted and compared as unchanged.

Semantic validation now requires the initial checkpoint to match
files_before with no effects, and the final checkpoint to match
files_after and filesystem_effects. The native producer builds both
representations from the same snapshots, so produced captures are
unaffected; consistent created-file captures still compare as changed.

* fix(process): report deadlines expiring during final cleanup (#7635)

* fix(process): report a deadline that elapses during final cleanup as a timeout

runOwnedCommand checked its absolute command deadline before awaiting
process cleanup, but on the ordinary successful path it consulted only
the caller's cancellation signal afterwards. A command whose deadline
expired while successful cleanup was still awaited therefore resolved
as success.

After cleanup, an elapsed deadline now throws OwnedCommandFailure with
reason "timeout" and the completed snapshot, as docs/tool-design.md
requires a final signal check after the last awaited finalization step.
Existing primary failures, caller cancellation and incomplete-cleanup
classification keep their precedence.

started, then advance past the deadline and release cleanup, so the
ordering no longer depends on worker speed.

When the operation completed and only scope cleanup failed, keep the cleanup failure's own reason instead of reporting io, matching main (fixes artifactProvider.cleanupRetry). When a typed primary is rebuilt with pending scope cleanup, carry its userMessage and ASAR header admission so callers keep the configured ceiling and setting.

* fix(artifacts): translate plain file-close failures through the reader path

The outer file-cleanup branch rebuilt every ArtifactFileCleanupFailure as a
ProviderAdapterError, so dyld reads lost their io, unavailable, format and
cancelled reasons and their exact file-cleanup cause. Compose separately only
when the failed primary owns its own translation (a domain error, source
failure or scope cleanup failure); raw and reader primaries are already
projected by the file failure with its exact lease.

* fix(artifacts): bound source destruction by cancellation and keep wrapper admission

After cancellation, SafeOutputTree.write could wait indefinitely for a source
whose destruction did not settle, both in the destroy join and in the
iterator's wait for close. Both waits now end at cancellation plus a fixed 1 s
grace, modeled on the process-output closure grace. A destruction that
outlives it is reported as incomplete source cleanup under an exact lease that
releases only once closure is observed without a late error.

ArtifactResourceCleanupFailure and SafeOutputSourceFailure now keep the
primary's admission, matching withCleanup.

* fix(artifacts): keep one settled wait while observing a stuck source

observeClosure raced the same pending close promise against a new timer every
10 ms, so a source whose destruction never settled accumulated one reaction per
poll for as long as it stayed open. Each poll now waits on its own promise that
the close listener or the unref'd timer settles, leaving one pending wait and
one close listener. The lifecycle test also asserts that a late close releases
the retained owner without an explicit retry.

* fix(gdb): keep inferior-tty verification for read-only queries (#5539)

* fix(gdb): keep TTY verification across read-only inferior-tty inspection

The console command path cleared `inferiorTtyVerified` before dispatching
any command whose text merely mentioned `inferior-tty`, so the read-only
`show inferior-tty` query permanently revoked a persistent session's
verified output sink; no in-session path ever restored the flag, and a
later close of a live session failed detach verification with
capability_unavailable.

Exempt the exact read-only query forms (`show inferior-tty` and the MI
`-inferior-tty-show`) from the output-mutation predicate; every other
command mentioning the TTY setting keeps revoking, so mutating commands
still fail closed and detach keeps re-reading the live TTY before
detaching. Cover the query forms, composite commands, and the
inspect-then-close detach path with regression tests.

Fixes #5099

* test(gdb): classify show inferior-tty in the one-shot table and rename the TTY classification table

- Add a 'show inferior-tty' row to the 'classifies one-shot GDB

  proof, a user-visible one-shot behavior change.
- Rename the 'classifies read-only inferior TTY queries as non-mutating'
  table to 'classifies inferior TTY commands' since two of its rows are
  mutation cases.
- Assert via the existing recorded-commands array that the inspected
  'show inferior-tty' text is actually dispatched, and add an
  execute-path assertion that the MI '-inferior-tty-show' form leaves
  the verified-sink flag intact (defensive exemption: REA's own MI calls
  do not route through this gate).

* fix(rizin): keep debug targets off the debugger command stream

A Rizin debug target inherited Rizin's stdin, which is REA's command
stream. Once resumed, a target that reads stdin consumed REA's commands,
so close returned cleanup_incomplete and the one-shot CLI hung.

Route the target's stdin to the caller-selected TTY alongside stdout and
stderr. Before detaching, refuse a target whose stdin is still the command
stream, so a Rizin or backend that ignores the key gets a specific,
retained failure instead of a resumed target and a timeout.

Fixes #8642

* test(rizin): keep the stdin test launcher's descriptors under dash

The launcher gated its target with `cat "$2" >/dev/null`. dash applies a
simple command's redirection to the shell itself until the command returns,
so on Ubuntu the waiting shell's fd 1 was /dev/null, and that shell is the
target REA reads in /proc. All 8 Linux-gated tests then failed the existing
output-descriptor check. macOS /bin/sh is bash, which redirects only in the
forked child, so this did not show locally.

Gate without any redirection. Production code is unchanged.

* test(rizin): reject unmodeled commands and own cleanup at acquisition

Address review of the stdin regression tests.

The launcher accepted any unknown line, so the marker that followed could
complete it, and assertions only checked that commands were present. An
added `dc` or a repeated `olj` still passed. It now records an unknown line
and exits, and the tests pin the exact command sequence.

Cleanup hung off module state assigned after setup finished, so a failed
setup left its directory and terminal child behind. Each resource now
registers its own finish hook when acquired, using createTestTempDirectory.

Success checks throw the typed error instead of asserting `.ok`, and the
refusal probe no longer sits inside a loop and conditional.

Production code is unchanged.

* fix(ci): align tests with current evidence contracts

* feat(native): report binary hardening for ELF, PE and Mach-O (#8524)

* feat(native): report binary hardening for ELF, PE and Mach-O

Documents inspect_binary_hardening and its CLI equivalent, including
per-property states, supporting evidence, read budgets, and one report
per Mach-O slice. Explains that missing protection imports remain
unknown, signature presence does not establish validity, and hardened
runtime requires inspect_signature. Adds hardening links throughout the
documentation. The supplied diff also removes the advanced CodeQL
workflow and configuration, along with snapshot-binding mismatch
guidance.

* fix(native): validate declared payloads and dynamic tables before hardening rows

Run the shared range checks for ELF, read imports from the dynamic tables
rather than section metadata, and keep an unresolved symbol count apart from
an absent table. Check every Mach-O command before building rows and retain
only the offsets the rows need.

Make the verifier's readelf output wide, check the emitted format before
parsing Mach-O, and place the sources before the libraries in the link.

* fix(native): share Mach-O segment admission with hardening reads

A segment with a section count its cmdsize cannot hold passed the hardening
reader and could enable restrict_segment. Move the size, section count and
file range checks to a shared admission that readMachoImage and the hardening
reader both use, and pin the ELF load-size case with a regression test.

* fix(hardening): reject Mach-O section payloads past the slice and empty ELF interpreters

Segment admission never checked each section's payload range, so a
file-backed section past the slice still produced rows. Decode sections with
the section header owner and mark the slice malformed when a payload leaves
it; zero-fill and empty sections own no file bytes and are exempt.

admitInterp accepted a NUL first byte in a longer extent, which counted an
empty interpreter as PIE evidence. It now requires a nonempty path.

* fix(native): read CFG instrumentation from decoded GuardFlags

Use the IMAGE_GUARD_CF_INSTRUMENTED flag that guardFlagRecord already
decodes instead of masking the raw GuardFlags word a second time.

* fix(native): reject ELF table spans a second PT_LOAD remaps

The hardening reader mapped DT_STRTAB, DT_SYMTAB and hash tables through
the one PT_LOAD containing the table's first address. A second PT_LOAD
starting inside the table could map the rest of it from other file bytes
and the reader still reported parsed import evidence.

Cap each mapping at the next PT_LOAD that starts inside it, reject a
requested range that crosses that boundary, and stop hash reads at the
same limit, matching the conflicting-mapping refusal in readElfSymbols.

* fix(native): dedupe ELF note tables only on shared boundaries

The hardening reader dropped any note table whose bytes another table
already covered. A covering SHT_NOTE can hold a non-GNU note whose
descriptor is itself a complete GNU property note, while PT_NOTE names
that inner note directly. Walking only the outer stream missed the GNU
marker and reported CET disabled.

Drop an alias only when it starts and ends on boundaries of admitted
tables, which are note boundaries of the walked streams. Any other
covered alias leaves the feature rows unknown, as a partial overlap
already does.

* fix(native): admit every Mach-O symbol record after a canary match

The Mach-O stack protector scan returned as soon as it found an
undefined ___stack_chk_fail, so a later undefined symbol whose n_strx
lay outside the string table was never checked. The same damaged table
parsed or failed as malformed depending only on record order.

Keep the match and finish the bounded record walk. Records after the
match are only checked against the string table bounds, so their names
are not read or charged to the scan budget. The ELF reader already
admits its whole symbol table before matching names.

* fix(native): accept ELF load aliases with the same file translation

The hardening reader treated every PT_LOAD that starts inside a table,
or that also contains the table's address, as a conflicting mapping.
A load with the same address-to-file translation names the same file
bytes, so tables it overlaps still have one interpretation, and the
canonical ElfLoadMap already merges such spans.

Treat equivalent loads as one interpretation. A load with a different
translation, or the zero-filled tail of an equivalent load, still ends
the usable range, so a remapped table is still rejected.

* fix(native): keep same-span ELF note tables with different alignments unknown

A section and a program header that share endpoints were treated as one
note stream even when their effective note alignments differed. Walking the
same bytes at 4 and 8 can frame different notes, so dropping the second table
could hide a GNU property word and report CET or BTI as disabled.

Require matching effective alignment at both endpoints, and no alignment
change inside the covered span, before treating a table as an alias.
Otherwise mark the feature rows unknown. The fixture's .note.gnu.property
section now declares the class's note alignment, as toolchains emit it.

* refactor(native): read LC_SYMTAB through the shared fixed-word decoder

Move the Mach-O fixed uint32 command layouts out of MachoCommandNames
into domain/apple/machoLoadCommands so there is one owner of those
offsets. MachoCommandNames and the hardening reader now both decode
through it; the hardening reader keeps its own bounds and import policy.

* fix(native): skip Mach-O common definitions in canary imports

A common definition sets N_UNDF|N_EXT like an import but stores its
allocation size in n_value. An object holding only
`int __stack_chk_fail;` therefore reported stack_protector: enabled.

Require a zero n_value before an undefined external counts as an
import, for both nlist widths.

* refactor(native): read linkedit data commands through the shared fixed-word decoder

readMachoLinkeditDataCommand reproduced the dataoff/datasize offsets that
FIXED_WORD_FIELDS already owns. Take the command and decode through
decodeMachoFixedWordFields, as readMachoSymtabCommand does, keeping the
truncation and endianness behavior.

* fix(native): skip empty SHT_NOTE sections in ELF hardening

A zero-sized SHT_NOTE owns no bytes, so the section directory marks it
not file-backed and the hardening reader rejected the whole image as
malformed, while readElfImage accepted the same bytes. Skip empty note
sections before the file-backing check; they have nothing to walk.

* fix(scripts): run hardening verifier commands through the shared owner

The binary hardening verifier started its probes and compiler drivers with
raw spawnSync, which bypassed the src/process/ supervision that AGENTS.md
requires. Every launch now goes through createVerifierCommands, and the
temporary root is removed only after the owner closes cleanly.

* fix(scripts): clean up hardening verifier commands on Ctrl-C

SIGINT or SIGTERM ended Node before withVerifierCleanup ran, so detached
compiler trees and the temporary root could outlive the verifier. The
verifier now turns those signals into an abort that every owned command
receives, so cleanup closes the owner and removes the root before exit.

* fix(scripts): fail the hardening verifier when a signal lands outside a command

Only the owned commands read the interruption signal, so a SIGINT or
SIGTERM during the final cleanup or between commands was recorded and
then dropped, and the verifier exited 0. After cleanup settles, the
verifier now throws the interruption reason. A failure the operation or
its cleanup already raised still leaves first and is not replaced.

* fix(native): fail Mach-O slices with a malformed encryption command

The hardening reader turned every malformed status from the shared
encryption reader into an unknown `encrypted` row, so a short
LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO_64 or an encrypted range past the slice still left the
slice parsed with a full report.

Only two conflicting encryption commands stay an unknown row now. Any other
encryption defect fails the slice like other structural command failures.

* fix(native): ignore STB_LOCAL undefined ELF symbols as imports

A local undefined __stack_chk_fail or __memcpy_chk is never resolved
against another object, so it does not establish an external import.
Skip STB_LOCAL bindings when reading protector signs, and give the
fixture's positive symbols STB_GLOBAL binding.
