0ca9d91b72 v0.16.0: fastapi-guard HTTP security layer — calibrated + scanner honeytrap (#290)
* [fastapi-guard] Phase 1a: gated config flags for the HTTP security layer

Adds the ROBOCO_GUARD_* settings (all default-off / secure-default) for the
upcoming fastapi-guard 7.2.0 hardening — guard_enabled (master switch),
guard_fail_secure (fail-closed default; NAS overrides to false),
guard_telemetry_enabled + guard_agent_api_key + guard_project_id (guard-agent
telemetry, opt-in), guard_emergency + guard_emergency_whitelist (lockdown kill
switch). Inert until consumed: nothing reads them yet, so the request path is
unchanged. Foundation for v0.16.0.

* [fastapi-guard] Phase 1b: security foundation module + gated wiring

Add fastapi-guard 7.2.0 + guard-core 3.3.0 (bare, unpinned) and roboco/security.py:
- build_security_config() from settings — behind-nginx real-IP (trusted_proxies +
  trust_x_forwarded_proto), HSTS/CSP headers, threat-ban + 404-sweep rules,
  redis-backed state, exclude_paths (/ws + health + docs), env-driven
  enforce_https, fail_secure (secure default), emergency lockdown, guard-agent
  telemetry (opt-in), passive-mode calibration switch.
- guard_deco singleton (SecurityDecorator) for per-route decorators (Phase 2+).
- Three custom content validators guard's WAF can't cover: prompt-injection /
  role-override, secret-exfil / credential-in-body, internal-SSRF.
- apply_guard(app) + guarded_lifespan() wired into create_app AFTER settings.
  guard_passive_mode config flag added.

Entirely gated by ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED (default off): create_app mounts nothing
and returns the unchanged app when off (verified). make quality GREEN
(cov 95.32%, pip-audit clean, import-linter 2/0). 12 new unit tests.

* [fastapi-guard] Phase 2: critical-path decorators

Apply guard decorators to the highest-value endpoints (metadata-only; enforced
only when the middleware is mounted, so no-op while ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED is off):
- provider keys (ollama/grok/self-hosted writes): strict rate_limit +
  max_request_size + block_clouds (no datacenter IP should touch secret writes).
- settings write + release approve/reject (CEO-gated): strict rate_limit.
- intake chat (prompter start/messages/events): rate_limit + max_request_size +
  custom_validation(prompt_injection_validator) — the prompt-facing free-text
  ingress gets the injection/role-override/secret-exfil content scan.

make quality GREEN (cov 95.32%, contracts 2/0). App builds with guard off,
decorators inert (verified).

* [fastapi-guard] Phase 3: wide decorator coverage across ingress + sensitive routes

Targeted-wide application (metadata-only; no-op until ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED). The
global SecurityMiddleware already rate-limits + WAF-scans every request, so this
adds the custom content validators on free-text ingress + tight limits on
sensitive ops (not blanket per-route rate_limit on reads):

- agent gateway do verbs (note/say/commit/dm/pitch/progress/draft_playbook/...):
  rate_limit + max_request_size + custom_validation(secret_exfil or prompt_injection).
- a2a message/send + chat writes: rate_limit + size + prompt_injection.
- optimal/RAG (kb/search, rag/query, mentor/ask, errors/decisions/standards/
  learnings): prompt_injection on searches, secret_exfil on record writes; docs
  index → internal_ssrf.
- tasks: create/update → prompt_injection; QA/doc/PM transitions → secret_exfil;
  CEO-gated verbs → tight rate_limit.
- secretary chat → prompt_injection; research → internal_ssrf; orchestrator
  spawn/mutations → rate_limit; git ops + flow verbs → tight rate_limit.
Pure GET/reads left to the global middleware. Applied via a Sonnet workflow,
then verified: app builds with guard off (decorators inert), make quality GREEN
(cov 95.37%, contracts 2/0). Decoy/honeypot-path surface deferred (needs verified
guard ban-API integration — not rushed).

* [fastapi-guard] Phase 5: arm the NAS composes in passive/log-only mode

Arm ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED=true + ROBOCO_GUARD_PASSIVE_MODE=true +
ROBOCO_GUARD_FAIL_SECURE=false on the two NAS composes (docker-compose.yaml +
.yml). Passive = guard mounts and logs what it WOULD block but blocks nothing,
so the next NAS deploy calibrates against real traffic; flip PASSIVE_MODE off
after the false-positive review to enforce. fail_secure=false keeps a
guard-internal error from 500ing the personal deploy. The registry (user-facing)
compose is deliberately left unarmed so its published default stays conservative.
Phase 4 (passive calibration) is the operational step this enables.

* feat(security): Phase 3b — full-arsenal per-route guard enrichment

Stack the applicable guard decorators per surface instead of the minimal
rate_limit/max_request_size/custom_validation triad: content_type_filter on
every JSON-body write, honeypot_detection form-traps on human-facing POSTs,
block_clouds on key-writes + CEO release ops, behavior_analysis runaway-rate
rules on the agent flow/do verbs, suspicious_detection + usage_monitor on the
sensitive surfaces. Nine distinct decorators now applied thoughtfully per
endpoint. All metadata-only — no-op while ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED is off.

* fix(a2a): permit PR reviewer to deliver gate verdicts to the owning PM

can_a2a_direct had no pr_reviewer rule, so a reviewer (team=board, or a cell
team) fell through to the cell-member path and was cross-cell-denied when the
in-path gate delivered a pr_fail change-request to main-pm (or a cross-cell
cell-pm): "Cannot A2A main-pm ... Ask None to coordinate with None". The
delivery is best-effort, so pr_fail still transitioned but the verdict never
reached the owning PM — the blind-re-submit signal-gap the pr_fail fix closes.

Add an explicit pr_reviewer handler: it may A2A only cell_pm / main_pm (its
sole comms surface — everything else it posts on the PR itself), with a matching
route hint. The cell reviewers kept same-team access by coincidence; this scopes
every reviewer to PM-only, the correct model, with no other A2A caller affected.

Refresh uv.lock to the current resolution.

* feat(models): adopt Claude Sonnet 5 as the sonnet tier

Point the 'sonnet' alias at claude-sonnet-5 (MODEL_MAP) and give pr_reviewer
its own opus tier in ROLE_MODEL_MAP — it was falling through to the sonnet
default, and the role gates untrusted external/fork PRs plus root→master, which
warrants opus.

Price claude-sonnet-5 at the promotional 33% off Sonnet 4.6 ($2.01 / $10.05,
cache 0.201 / 0.5025) through 2026-08-31 via a dedicated pricing fragment that
beats the bare 'sonnet' alias; revert to full rate when the promo ends. Bare
'sonnet' stays full-rate as a conservative fallback (prod prices the resolved
claude-sonnet-5 id from the transcript).

Update the model docs and the billing / usage / manifest / spawn tests.

* feat(security): calibrate the guard WAF for RoboCo traffic + document the layer

The first end-to-end run of the fastapi-guard layer showed active enforcement
would block ~50% of legitimate agent traffic — RoboCo request bodies are code,
SQL, diffs, file paths, HTML, and URLs, which the stock signature WAF reads as
attacks. build_security_config now excludes RoboCo's free-text top-level body
fields (derived from the real request models, including the free-form container
fields whose nested prose is stringified and scanned) from WAF scanning,
dropping the active-mode false-positive rate to zero while keeping the WAF on
every non-excluded (id/enum/slug/branch) field and leaving the
prompt-injection / secret-exfil / internal-SSRF validators — which run
independently of the exclusion — fully in force. enable_penetration_detection
is made explicit.

Only excluded_detection_body_fields is reliable on guard 7.2.1: the per-route
categories knob is bypassed for JSON bodies, and the body scanner excludes
top-level keys only (scanning str(value) of every non-excluded field), so
free-form container fields must be excluded wholesale.

Adds tests/unit/test_security_middleware.py — the first end-to-end exercise of
the middleware (mounts it, drives guard's lifespan, fires real requests):
proves passive mode is log-only, active mode does not false-positive on
realistic agent payloads, threats are still blocked inside excluded fields, and
the WAF still fires on non-excluded fields.

Docs: CHANGELOG (Unreleased); a user-facing Optional-subsystems page + nav +
env reference for the HTTP security layer; the agent-facing RAG corpus
(what it is + why a request could be blocked); and the roboco mapping
(api-core-websocket / deployment-tooling / _complete_map).

* feat(security): Surface N — scanner honeytrap (guard /api auto-ban + nginx edge-drop)

Turns scanner probes against the scanner, in two layers matched to where
traffic lands. Behind nginx only /api, /ws, /health, /ready reach the
orchestrator, so guard can only see (and ban) scanner probes on those paths;
the classic root probes (/.env, /wp-login.php, /phpmyadmin, /.git/config) hit
the panel. So:

- build_security_config's threat_ban_config gains recon / sensitive_file /
  cms_probing categories. A scanner probing those fingerprints on an /api path
  is detected on the URL-path scan; repeated probes from one IP trip an adaptive
  per-IP auto-ban (redis-backed, 24h). Only bans in active mode (passive logs
  the recon hit) and needs redis (the 24h ban exceeds the in-memory cap). The
  spec's decoy-route file is redundant — the WAF url-path scan bans regardless
  of a registered route — so it is intentionally omitted.
- docker/nginx.conf drops the classic root scanner paths at the edge with 444
  (connection closed, no response) before they reach the panel, anchored to
  known scanner fingerprints so /.well-known and every real panel/API route are
  untouched. Always on, independent of ROBOCO_GUARD_ENABLED.

Tests: 2 unit (the exclusion set + the scanner-ban categories are present) and
2 integration (a decoy path is blocked in active mode, passes in passive). The
nginx regex was validated against 15 scanner + 19 legit paths (0 false
positives). Docs: CHANGELOG, the HTTP-security page, the roboco mapping, and the
agent-facing RAG corpus.

06682f33c6 Fix: agent workflow hardening (#70)
* fix(gateway): push the branch before QA handoff so reviewers see the latest commits

The commit content tool commits locally without pushing; only open_pr pushed
the branch. On the first submission that was fine, but a fix committed while
addressing needs_revision never reached origin (open_pr is skipped once the PR
exists), so QA — which reviews the remote PR branch — re-reviewed the stale
remote and re-failed the task on every cycle, a loop that never converged.

i_am_done now pushes the task branch (idempotent; a no-op when nothing is
unpushed) as part of the shared submit gate, covering both the normal and
resume-from-verifying paths. A push failure blocks the handoff with a clear
remediation rather than parking the task in awaiting_qa with commits that exist
only in the developer's local workspace.

* fix(orchestrator): don't reap a stale claim while the agent's container is alive

The stale-claim reaper released any claimed/in_progress task whose
last_heartbeat_at exceeded the TTL. The heartbeat only updates on certain
gateway calls, so a developer deep in a long edit/test cycle outran the TTL and
had its claim reaped mid-work — churning the task and risking a double spawn
against the still-running container.

The reaper now skips a task whose assignee still holds a live (ACTIVE) agent
instance, trusting container liveness — the ground truth — over the heartbeat
proxy. The check is defensive on missing fields so a heartbeat-only caller (and
the reaper's existing unit tests) behave exactly as before.

* fix(gateway): refuse to unblock a task while a dependency is unfinished

A PM unblock on a dependency-gated task moved it straight to in_progress,
overriding the dependency — letting a dependent proceed without its upstream's
work (e.g. a frontend task built before its UX design lands). A dependency
block is meant to clear on its own via _unblock_dependents the moment the
upstream reaches a terminal state.

unblock now refuses while any dependency is still non-terminal, returning a
clear remediation that the block resolves automatically. Manual unblock remains
available for genuine, non-dependency blockers.

* fix(gateway): release a dependency-blocked claim to pending instead of looping

A task that reached claimed/in_progress with an unfinished dependency was left
in that state when the claim guard rejected, so the orchestrator's respawn loop
kept reviving its assignee — which could make no progress — burning work for
nothing.

The claim guard now releases such a task back to pending. claimed -> blocked is
not a legal transition, so pending — held by the dispatch dependency filter — is
the lifecycle-correct resting state: the respawn loop ignores pending tasks, and
_unblock_dependents re-dispatches it once the upstream reaches a terminal state.
release_dependency_blocked_claim shares a _force_unclaim_to_pending core with
unclaim_for_reaper so both record a truthful work-session abandon reason.

* feat(security): warn at startup in header-trust mode + document the auth posture

When ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED is not enabled the API accepts the X-Agent-Id /
X-Agent-Role headers without a signed token, so any client that can reach it may
act as any role (including 'ceo'). The API now logs a clear warning at startup
in this mode, and the README gains a Security section documenting the auth
posture and how to harden it. Acceptable only on a trusted private network — do
not expose the API to untrusted networks.

* fix(workspace): scope the refresh fetch to current + default branch

ensure_workspace's healthy short-circuit ran an all-refs 'git fetch origin' to
keep every origin/<branch> ref current. On a monorepo with many accumulated
feature/* branches that exceeds the refresh timeout, the fetch silently fails,
and the workspace keeps a stale base — so an agent builds on an out-of-date
branch.

The refresh now fetches only the workspace's current branch and the repo's
default branch (resolved via origin/HEAD), with --no-tags --prune: it transfers
near-nothing and can't time out. Readers need their own branch and the default;
the integration branch is refreshed at branch-creation time.

* fix(git): refresh a dependency-blocked task's branch off the current integration tip

A cross-cell dependent (e.g. a frontend task waiting on the UX design) was
branched off a base captured before its upstream merged into the integration
branch, and the branch was never re-synced — so the agent built on a stale
snapshot with none of the upstream's work.

Two changes close the gap:
- release_dependency_blocked_claim now clears branch_name, so the re-claim
  (after the dependency clears) re-runs branch creation.
- create_branch, when the branch is already on disk with no commits of its own,
  resets it onto the freshly-pulled base — the dependent now builds on the
  current integration tip. A branch carrying real commits is left untouched, so
  no work is discarded; the cell->leaf cascade carries the upstream down to the
  dev branch automatically.

* refactor(gateway): drop the sibling-sequence claim guard

Sibling sequence no longer gates a claim. Cross-cell ordering is
enforced by task dependencies — a cell task that depends on another is
held until its upstream reaches a terminal state, a stronger,
status-aware gate than the sequence-number check. That check was
dormant in practice anyway: every fan-out child carries sequence 0, on
which the guard short-circuited. `sequence` stays a sibling-ordering /
dispatch-priority field (list_pending ordering and the panel).

Removes sibling_sequence_guard and its _earlier_blocking_sibling
helper, the now-unused skip_sequence parameter threaded through the
claim verbs, and the sibling fetch that fed it.

* feat(gateway): sort a cross-cell dependent after its upstream

When the frontend cell task is wired to depend on its UX/UI sibling, set
its sequence to the upstream's sequence + 1 so it sorts after the design
it waits on — list_pending ordering and the panel now show UX ahead of
the implementation it gates, in either delegation order.

Adds TaskService.set_sequence (the sibling-ordering field is a service
write; it carries no claim-gating semantics — dependencies gate claims).

* feat(gateway): make the backend cell depend on UX too

UX/UI design defines the screens and API contracts both implementation
cells build against, so the backend cell — not just the frontend — waits
on the UX/UI cell task in a product fan-out and sorts after it. Wires in
either delegation order: a backend task delegated after UX gets the
dependency directly; a UX task delegated after a still-pending backend
sibling retro-wires it.

Mirrors the existing frontend wiring (_depend_backend_on_ux and
_depend_pending_backends_on_ux). Backend is held by the same dependency
gate, so it costs no extra dispatch churn.

* fix(websocket): forward notification acks instead of logging them incomplete

The bridge handler serves both notification.sent and notification.acked,
but acked events carry `agent_id` (the acking agent) rather than
`recipient_id`, so every acknowledgement tripped the missing-field guard
and logged "Incomplete notification event" instead of reaching the panel.
Accept either field as the recipient.

* feat(api): hint the full UUID when a truncated task id fails validation

Agents copy the 8-character task prefix the system shows them (the commit
prefix, task summaries) and send it as task_id, which fails UUID
validation with an opaque "invalid length" 422 and wastes a call. The
request-validation handler now detects a task_id UUID error and attaches
a `remediate` hint telling the agent to retry with the full 36-character
UUID from its task envelope.

* fix(audit): record the blocked transition when a task is escalated

Escalation sets a task to blocked by writing task.status directly, which
bypassed the validated transition helper and so never emitted a
task.blocked audit row — the lifecycle moved but the Auditor saw nothing.
Extract the audit emit from the central transition helper into
_emit_status_transition_audit and call it from the escalate path,
capturing the prior status and outgoing owner before reassignment so the
row is attributed correctly.

* fix(docs): stop doubling the docs path so design specs index into RAG

The documenter sometimes hands a doc path already rooted at docs/, and
joining it onto DOCS_BASE_PATH (/app/docs) produced /app/docs/docs/...,
so the file was never found and the spec never indexed — the frontend
cell could not retrieve the UX design over RAG. Normalize the path
before joining: trust an absolute path, otherwise strip a single
redundant leading docs/ segment.

* feat(security): let the control panel authenticate in secure mode

With ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED=true every request must carry a valid
HMAC token, which locked the human control panel out — it sends role
headers but no token. nginx, the only trusted hop between the browser
and the API, now injects the CEO token on /api and /ws, so the browser
never holds the signing secret. The injected value is just the existing
per-agent token issued for the CEO identity (issue_panel_token), so the
token-verification path is unchanged. An empty value (dev/header-trust
mode) renders to no header.

`make panel-token` prints the value; set it as ROBOCO_PANEL_AGENT_TOKEN
in .env before enabling secure mode. .env.example and the README
Security section document the flow.

* chore(compose): consolidate the two compose files into one

docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.yaml had diverged: .yml — the file
Docker actually uses — carried ROBOCO_PUBLIC_BASE_URL but was missing the
/app/manifests bind-mount, while .yaml had the manifests mount but not
the base URL. Merge the union into docker-compose.yml and delete the
duplicate so there is one source of truth and no "multiple config files"
warning.

This activates the manifests mount in the deployed file: without it the
orchestrator writes per-agent tool manifests to its ephemeral container
fs, they never reach the host for the daemon to bind-mount, and agents
fall back to all-verbs registration. Drop the stale .yaml reference from
the config.py docstring, the labeler, and the CI path filters.
