From 37d6d5b38d4d45bf1e691e0b50a16eb23f1dc898 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Wilson Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 12:08:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] agent workspace: personas, plus the reason verification never ran MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Persona slice: `.build/agents/hyper/user.md`, injected ahead of the skills manifest as trusted guidance. That framing rests on one property — the agent cannot write it. `.build/agents/**` is refused by fs_write, fs_batch_write and fs_delete while fs_read stays open. A skill file IS agent-writable, which is why a prompt injection reaching one tool call could plant one and have it re-read with authority every turn after. Lift the write ban and the trusted framing has to go with it; tests pin both halves. Verified live: 4/5 files the agent wrote carried the persona's required header. The miss is style.css, where `//` is not a valid CSS comment. The larger find came from the run, not the feature. exec was failing with tsc's help text, so `npx tsc --noEmit` — the verify skill's headline command — had never typechecked anything. The starter shipped no tsconfig.json (tsc with no config prints usage and exits 1), no @types/react (real errors drown in TS7016 noise), and `typescript: "latest"`, which had silently resolved to TypeScript 7, the native rewrite, in the one dependency this template left unpinned. Fixed on both template surfaces; the drift guard caught the Gleam side. Same live turn, before and after: 8 steps / 100s / "found problems" -> 5 steps / 58s / "no problems". Shorter because the agent is no longer fighting a command that could not work. tsconfig.json joins UNDELETABLE — losing it does not break the app, it breaks the agent's ability to check the app, and the loop would go on reporting success. Refusals were invisible past a one-line trail summary, which is why this hid so long. executeTool now ring-buffers failed tool results and the live suite prints them. gleam 194 · vitest 282 · server 309 · smokes 25/25 + 14/14 + 37/37 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019gS8yjMedGgujEad6zRD7i --- docs/agent-harness-progress.html | 59 +++++++++++++ scripts/live-agent-suite.mjs | 48 +++++++++++ server/src/app.ts | 1 + server/src/prompt.ts | 9 ++ src/agent-tools.ts | 33 +++++++ src/agent.ts | 8 ++ src/agents.test.ts | 144 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/agents.ts | 75 ++++++++++++++++ src/build/pure/templates.gleam | 36 +++++++- src/gleam-externals/agent.mjs | 24 ++++++ src/prompt-parity.test.ts | 27 ++++++ src/templates.test.ts | 33 +++++++ src/templates.ts | 41 ++++++++- 13 files changed, 536 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/agents.test.ts create mode 100644 src/agents.ts diff --git a/docs/agent-harness-progress.html b/docs/agent-harness-progress.html index 74e2ffa..cd6dafe 100644 --- a/docs/agent-harness-progress.html +++ b/docs/agent-harness-progress.html @@ -182,5 +182,64 @@

Residual risks

  • Server typecheck excludes test files (tsconfig.json exclude), so a fake that drifts from an interface — e.g. a Db stub missing updateModel — is caught only at runtime. Two fakes needed manual updating this loop for exactly that reason.
    • +

    Agent workspace — first slice (personas)

    +

    One file: .build/agents/hyper/user.md, global scope, injected at the top of every +turn ahead of the skills manifest. It carries the things a user would otherwise retype — "I use +Tailwind", "keep copy lowercase".

    +

    The design point is the asymmetry. A persona is injected as trusted +guidance; the skills manifest, three feet away in the same prompt, is injected as +untrusted data. That is defensible for exactly one reason: the agent cannot write +a persona. .build/agents/** is refused by fs_write, +fs_batch_write and fs_delete while staying open to fs_read. +A skill file is agent-writable, which is why a prompt injection reaching one tool call +could plant one and have it re-read with authority every turn afterwards — a one-shot compromise +made durable. If that write ban is ever lifted, the trusted framing must go with it; the two facts +move together and there are tests on both halves.

    + + + + + +
    CheckEvidence
    Persona reaches the prompt, ahead of skillsBrowser probe: personaInPrompt, personaBeforeSkills both true; parity test pins the order on both client and server builders
    Write ban holds through the real executor stackBrowser probe: fs_write and fs_delete refused, fs_read allowed, file intact after the attempt
    Persona actually steers the modelLive run, PERSONA_MARKER: 4/5 files the agent wrote carried the required header line. The miss is style.css, where // is not a valid CSS comment — correct judgment, not disobedience.
    + +

    The bug the persona run found: verification was never running

    +

    Seeding a persona was incidental to the real find. The new refusal log surfaced +exec: [exit 1] followed by tsc's help text — and reproducing it outside the browser was +decisive:

    + +

    Fixed on both duplicated template surfaces (the drift guard caught the Gleam side, as designed): +a tsconfig.json with types: ["vite/client"] so side-effect CSS imports are +not reported as TS2882, React type declarations, and typescript pinned to +^5.7.2. tsconfig.json joins UNDELETABLE — deleting it does not +break the app, it breaks the agent's ability to check the app, which is worse because the +loop keeps reporting that it verified.

    +

    Measured before/after on the same live turn:

    + + + + +
    StepsProvider callsWallTrail says
    Before87100s"Checked the code — found problems"
    After5458s"Checked the code — no problems"
    +

    Verification now genuinely runs, and the turn is shorter because the agent is no longer fighting a +command that structurally could not work. Three regression tests in +templates.test.ts pin the reason each of the three pieces exists, so a future cleanup +does not read them as boilerplate.

    + +

    Refusals are now visible

    +

    The trail showed Tried to write files it may not change and nothing else — no file, +no reason — so a live run could only guess at what a guard had blocked. executeTool now +ring-buffers failed tool results (failures only, reason truncated to 300 chars, capped at 50) and the +live suite prints them. That is what turned an unexplained exit 1 into the tsconfig +finding above.

    live suite prints them. That is what turned an unexplained exit 1 into the tsconfig finding above.

    Review round on PR #38 — one blocker, and two guards that did not guard

    +

    A judge pass against the branch confirmed the write ban held (24 adversarial paths: no-slash, +trailing slash, whitespace, .. re-entry, double slash, backslash, leading /, +leading ./, sibling-prefix escape, and the batch form hiding the path among legitimate +files — all refused, and the batch stayed all-or-nothing). It also found real problems.

    + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
    FindingResolution
    Blocker: nothing could author a persona. The agent was banned from writing +.build/agents/ and no other writer existed — no editor, no settings surface. In +production readPersona() always returned ''. The whole slice was prompt +plumbing for a file with no author.Built the editor: a Standing-instructions field in the settings panel, in both the BYOK +and managed panels, with its own save (the managed panel has no Save button). It is deliberately the +only writer, which is precisely what makes the trusted framing legitimate.
    Two new guard tests passed vacuously. indexOf returns +-1 when the injection is deleted, and String.slice(-1) then yields one +character — so the "stays trusted" test passed with the injection removed. It also matched lowercase +untrusted only, so a capitalized re-framing slipped through. The ordering test could be +defeated by hoisting const p = body.persona above the pushes.Both rewritten to call the two builders and inspect real output. Mutation-tested: deletion, +capitalized re-framing, and hoist-and-reorder now each fail.
    The server did not own the block it treats as trusted. The client sent a +pre-framed system message; the server validated only typeof === 'string'. A modified +client could post its own trusted framing, or megabytes of it.The client now sends RAW text. Both prompt builders author and cap the block themselves — a third +duplicated surface, guarded like SHARED_RULES, including a test that the cap applies on both sides.
    The tsconfig fix reached new projects only. Every project created before it +kept the broken verify loop.ensureVerifiable() backfills tsconfig.json and the React types on project load — +additive, never repinning typescript (that would force a reinstall on open), and +returning the same array when nothing is missing so an untouched project is not re-saved.
    The Ollama JSON path bypassed every write guard, applying model-supplied +paths straight to the project actor. It could not reach the workspace store, but it could put a file +at the literal persona path into project.files, which publish ships verbatim.Routed through the same path policy, with refusals surfaced rather than silent. .build +added to IGNORED_SYNC_DIRS so a container-side .build/ cannot sync back into +one path with two contents.
    The persona ban was case-sensitive while DENIED_EXACT twenty lines above carries +a comment about that exact asymmetry having been an oversight once.Made case-insensitive. Match the strict half, not the lenient one.
    The failed-tool log survived project switches, so one project's failure text was readable +while working in another.Cleared on project open.
    +

    Found while fixing, and missed by the review: three call sites read +starterFiles[2].path — "the third starter file", which meant src/main.tsx +only by accident of ordering. Inserting tsconfig.json silently retargeted all three to +index.html, changing which file the editor opens on. Replaced with a lookup by name.

    +

    The editor was then verified in a real browser against nine conditions — visible on first run, +enables on edit, disables after save, the agent reads exactly what was typed, it reaches the prompt +framed as guidance, the agent still cannot overwrite it, it survives reload, and clearing the box +removes the file rather than leaving an empty one. The reload check failed first time +and found a real bug: the panel starts open, so no SettingsOpened message is ever sent on +a fresh load and the load effect never fired — standing instructions would have looked lost on every +reload.
