# ChannelGate — Test Plan
## Company domain auto-approval (2026-10-28)
- Automated: `node --test test/user-auto-approval.test.js test/user-search.test.js` covers
canonical exact domains, malicious suffixes/URLs/wildcards, disabled policy, provider failure,
bots/deleted/mismatched identities, manual opt-out, preview without mutation, fresh apply checks,
policy validation, audit and Approved without Admin.
- Engine-independent: authorization occurs before engine selection. Disposable fixture: scratch
runtime root via `ensureTestEnv()`, Express admin router, fake Slack `users.info` identities
`UAUTO1`…`UAUTO6` with `example.com`/`elsewhere.com`; never change real user approvals.
- Browser acceptance passed: `CG_BROWSER_MODULE=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/playwright/index.mjs
node --test test/user-auto-approval-browser.test.js` against a disposable admin app. Open
Users → Auto-approval, add `example.com`, enable and save, reload and confirm persistence.
Preview known users, verify no approval changed, apply and verify eligible users become Approved
without Admin. Revoke one in the drawer, repeat preview and confirm exclusion. Invalid wildcard
must fail with no save. Check desktop and 390px width, keyboard controls and no browser errors.
- Live inbound acceptance (pending): in a disposable Slack deployment with `users:read.email`,
use an unapproved human test account matching the configured company domain. Send `@bot Say
DOMAIN_APPROVAL_OK`; require an auto-approval audit row, Approved=true, Admin=false, and a normal
reply. Revoke manually and resend: no engine turn. Nonmatching/missing email must remain denied.
Repeat authenticated Google Chat/Teams sender fixtures when those transports provide email;
Teams Bot Framework events without email must remain manual. No engine-specific output is used
for the approval pass rule; downstream engine release smoke remains a separate gate.
- Private QA registry update pending: requesting user's personal Airtable connection is unavailable.
## Email accounts (2026-10-22)
### Regression
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/email-accounts.test.js`.
- One-form rules: port defaults, security by port, SMTP credentials falling back to IMAP's,
name/address/port/user validation, loopback/private/link-local/metadata hosts refused by
name and literal.
- Updates: blank passwords keep the stored ones, a rotated IMAP password follows into a shared
SMTP password and leaves a distinct one alone. Upsert by name, the five-entry cap, remove.
The masked list and `emailAccountSecrets` never disagree; malformed rows are dropped.
- Run resolution: channel accounts always, personal accounts only for a trusted principal;
`selectEmailAccount` with bare names, `personal/` / `channel/` / `my/` prefixes, addresses,
the single-account default and the cross-scope name clash.
- Store: the connection test receives the MERGED record (stored passwords on an update), a
failing test stores nothing, the interactive `authorize` re-check runs after it, audit rows
carry no password; personal accounts on the user record.
- Tools (fake mail client): every tool registered and in `GATEWAY_TOOL_NAMES`; the verified
author sees channel + own, an untrusted principal and another person do not see the personal
account; search/read/move/flag pass the chosen account through and render compactly;
attachment downloads land under `uploads/email/<account>/` with a sanitized name; `email_send`
attaches only confined files (a symlink out of the folder and a `../` path are refused) and
refuses an account with sending off before any client call.
- `resolveRunIntegrations` returns every channel and personal password as `emailSecrets`, and no
personal password for an untrusted principal.
- Admin routes: channel and user PUT/GET/DELETE, the failing-login 400 without the password,
the loopback refusal, `GET /api/channels` and `/api/users` listings without a password.
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/slack-email-account-settings.test.js` — the Slack Settings
inline forms (`em-add:<scope>`, `em:<scope>:<name>`), the MCP and You page sections, manager
gating, masked rendering, the password-field error mapping.
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/teams-email-account-settings.test.js
test/conversation-settings-email.test.js` — the Teams MCPs page blocks and
`settings.email.save/remove`, public-card refusal, the confirm round-trip, the private browser
form's save/remove and masked listing.
- [x] `test/folders-settings.test.js` tracks the new tool module in the permission allowlist;
`test/progress-report-availability.test.js` still proves the integration resolver's shape.
### Live gates (Claude AND Codex) — UNEXECUTED
Fixture: a disposable conversation in Worker mode. A mailbox on a public IMAP/SMTP host you own
(any provider that issues app passwords, or a test domain on a transactional relay with an IMAP
inbox). Record the address and the servers; never the password.
- [ ] Connect (dashboard): admin UI → the conversation → Connections → *Email accounts*: name
`qa`, the address, IMAP host/user/password, SMTP host (ports blank). Pass: the hint says both
logins were verified, the row shows `qa`, the address, `imap…:993` and `smtp…:587`;
`GET /api/channels` contains no password. A wrong password answers "IMAP login failed (…)" and
stores nothing. `127.0.0.1` or a private host name as the IMAP server is refused.
- [ ] Connect (Slack): ⚙️ Settings → **MCP** → *+ Connect email account* as a channel manager
(name `qa2`); a non-manager sees the list but no button. ⚙️ Settings → **You** → connect
`mine`. Pass: the modal acknowledges at once, the row appears masked, no password in the view
payload (`views.update` body) or in Slack history.
- [ ] Connect (Teams and Google Chat): Teams Settings → MCPs → *Email accounts* save; Google Chat
Settings → *Open private settings* → the browser form. Pass: the account appears masked on the
card and the page; the Chat card itself has no password input.
- [ ] Read, Claude then Codex (`codex …` directive): "List my newest 5 emails in qa and read the
first one; save its attachment." Pass: `email_search` output, `email_read` with headers and
body, `email_download_attachment` saves under `uploads/email/qa/` and the reply names the
file with a 📄 button. No password in the reply or the artifact dir (`grep -r <password>`).
- [ ] Send, both engines: "Send an email from qa to <your address>, subject QA, attaching that
file, replying to the message you read." Pass: the agent confirms recipients first (or the
prompt gave them), the mail arrives threaded (`In-Reply-To` set), with the attachment, From the
account's address and display name; a copy sits in the Sent folder where the server has one;
the reply names the account used. With *allow sending* off, the tool refuses and the agent
reports it without trying another account.
- [ ] Scope: the personal account `mine` is used by its owner's turn, absent from another approved
user's turn in the same conversation and from a `POST /api/runs` turn; a bare name present in
both scopes makes the agent ask which one. Lean mode does not hide the tools (they are gateway
tools) but the memory reviewer's run has none.
- [ ] Rotation and removal: change the IMAP password with the SMTP box blank (shared password) —
the next send still works; remove the account — the next turn reports it absent.
## Registered inventory caps and Enterprise harness approvals (2026-10-22)
- [x] Automated `test/slack-settings-blockkit-limits.test.js` (2026-10-23): every Settings page,
for an admin and a member, in a channel and a DM, with the approved-harness policy unset,
empty, valid and naming a retired engine, passes a Block Kit limits check (block count, text
lengths, option counts, `initial_options` never empty, no multi-select inside an actions
block). The empty/retired policies render the picker unselected, and the picker is a section
accessory. Live evidence (2026-10-23, development channel, admin viewer): ⚙️ Settings answered
`invalid_arguments — [ERROR] unsupported element: multiselect [json-pointer:view/blocks/7]`
before the fix; it must open after it.
- [x] Automated `test/license-registration.test.js`: signed Registered and no-key fixtures admit
19→20 users/channels and refuse 20→21 atomically, including a two-process race for the last
slot. Count every stored conversation (DMs/API included), every stored user (approved or not)
except the fixed synthetic API principal. Enterprise defaults remain unlimited; old free
payloads cannot raise the 20 ceilings. Downgrade preserves 25 existing records while blocking
additions. Slack, Teams, Google Chat, admin user API and run API return readable refusals.
- [x] Automated `test/channel-engines.test.js`: malformed/empty approvals fail closed, changing
or clearing approvals requires Enterprise, whole-record saves cannot erase the policy,
thread/API overrides and stale sessions cannot select an unapproved engine, and both fallback
directions stay within the approved set. All run origins share the gate. A queued revocation
prevents spawn and drops an unused provisional session; memory review skips denied Claude.
- [x] Automated `test/channel-engines-web.test.js`: real HTTP channel/DM writes reject invalid
lists, unapproved defaults and channel Codex authentication before starting it. Changes are
audited; downgrade preserves approvals and allows unrelated edits. Slack permits approval
controls only to Enterprise admins, filters runtime choices, rejects disallowed thread picks,
and supports the per-click All → one → multiple → All selection transitions.
- [x] Chromium smoke using the actual admin template and policy controls in a local fixture:
Enterprise supports one/multiple/all approvals, Registered controls stay disabled, and the
engine selector disables unapproved choices. This is a local browser check, not live Slack.
- [x] Full regression with coverage: 3,987 tests, 3,953 passed, 34 explicit skips, zero failures;
line/branch/function coverage 93.91% / 86.40% / 89.89%. Additional picker regression passed
after its per-click transition refinement. Dedicated security coverage and secret scan passed.
Dependency audit passes the high-severity threshold (two pre-existing moderate advisories).
- [ ] Live inventory fixture, **Claude and Codex** independently: use an isolated daemon with a
legitimately signed Registered key, 19 stored conversations and 19 stored human users. Register
the 20th then attempt the 21st through admin API and chat on every connected surface. Include a
DM, API conversation and unapproved account; repeat concurrent last-slot attempts. **Pass:**
exact counts remain 20, refusals appear without engine/session/usage writes, existing users and
channels still work. Repeat Enterprise→Registered with 25 records: retain and edit all existing
records, refuse additions. Never change a production deployment's license for this drill.
- [ ] Live harness controls, **Claude and Codex**, paired private Read/Admin fixtures: as an
organization admin, approve only the fixture's engine via admin editor and Slack Settings →
Agent. Ask "Reply exactly APPROVED-HARNESS" on its approved engine; attempt the opposite engine
via /model, thread directive, saved session and API override, then permit both and repeat.
**Pass:** approved launches identify the right harness in footer, session and usage; denied
attempts show a clear notice with no process/token use. Non-admin and Registered attempts to
edit/clear approvals fail; a downgrade retains restriction. Restore prior fixture settings.
- [ ] Live automation/fallback, **Claude and Codex** separately: use an isolated replay-safe
provider-failure fixture and owned scheduled/background/API jobs. Restrict to the primary,
trigger failure, then approve both and repeat; revoke the fallback while the turn is queued.
**Pass:** only currently approved harnesses start, pins remain pins, rejected queued work
leaves no provisional session, and the Claude reviewer never starts when excluded. Record
process/spawn, session, audit, native reply and usage evidence; restore all settings/jobs.
Private QA definitions: LICENSE-INVENTORY-20-01, HARNESS-APPROVALS-01 and
HARNESS-APPROVALS-AUTOMATION-01. Definitions were created and reread; live runs remain pending.
## Channel agent directory (2026-10-21)
- [x] Production boot integration: `test/agent-directory-slack-boot.test.js` uses the real Slack
manager and `createPlatformTransports({ slack })` with a scratch store and simulated provider.
Search uses its default verifier (no directory/connector override), returns the current channel
and eligible specialist after connect, fails closed after disconnect despite cached metadata,
and uses the replacement client after reconnect. Native automation retains the raw Slack
WebClient for menus, images, prefixes and permalink APIs. Live acceptance must exercise the
actual daemon boot registration, not just an injected membership provider.
- [x] Regression: `test/agent-directory.test.js`, `test/agent-directory-refresh.test.js` and
`test/agent-directory-tools.test.js` exercise live shared grant/template/dependency resolution,
source and destination authorization, personal dependency suppression, audience proof,
membership pagination/failure, profile bounds and scoped writes, both engine MCP contexts,
loopback-secret host IPC, reduced toolsets, nightly timers and cancellation. Cached metadata
narrows keyword work but never authorizes disclosure. Dedicated security coverage guards this
cross-channel boundary.
- [ ] Live **Claude and Codex**, separately, in owned Read fixtures, with an owned specialist
destination whose complete roster includes the private source's roster: set a presentation
purpose/shared slide skill, then ask “Can you help me create a presentation? Is there an
existing specialist agent?” and “List the agents and their skills.” **Pass:** `search_agents`
returns the expected purpose, current shared skills and HTTPS channel link, the answer
recommends it, pagination works, and no message/invitation/delegation/file transfer occurs.
Record exact source/target IDs, revision, engine/model, tool result and thread evidence.
- [ ] Live **Claude and Codex** privacy fixture: include a personal skill/dependency, hidden/Lean
channel, DM/group DM and a private specialist the requester belongs to but another source
reader does not. Repeat from a public/shared source, revoke shared grants/use/membership, and
interrupt the membership provider. **Pass:** no forbidden names/links/descriptions/hit counts;
personal skills never contribute; subsequent lookups respect changes; admin rank and cached
metadata cannot bypass audience proof. Unsupported platforms return no stale disclosure.
- [ ] Live **Claude and Codex** manager fixture: describe this agent and set example tasks;
hide/unhide it; clear examples; retry as a non-manager. **Pass:** only this channel changes,
omitted fields and unrelated grants/access persist, changes are announced, non-managers are
refused and the audit stores changed keys without descriptive content. Restore fixture state.
- [ ] Isolated daemon fixture, **engine-independent**: prove startup and host-local 03:00 refresh,
local-calendar/DST rearming, overlap deduplication, stop cancellation, rename/removal updates,
bounded cache/no memberships and disconnected-provider behavior. **Pass:** no engine session
or user schedule is created, and cached descriptors never become access authority. Platform
names/purposes used for keyword preselection may wait for the next nightly metadata refresh;
current curated profiles and shared skill changes are searched immediately.
## Slack Settings Composio account visibility (2026-10-21)
- [x] Regression: `node --test test/slack-composio-inventory-view.test.js
test/slack-composio-inventory-controller.test.js test/slack-composio-inventory-cache.test.js
test/channel-settings-modal.test.js test/slack-settings-redesign.test.js`. Account fixtures
contain two Gmail aliases, another app, more than six accounts, and hostile provider labels.
Controller fixtures hold discovery open, revoke access, rotate credentials and navigate before
completion. Cache tests cover viewer/scope separation, key rotation, expiry and single-flight.
- [ ] Native Slack acceptance, **engine-independent**: use an approved member and an admin in an
isolated channel fixture with a personal key and a distinct shared key. Engines do not
execute Settings reads; the same footer/modal works for both. Open reply ⚙️ Settings → You.
**Pass:** personal apps/accounts appear beneath Composio, with account labels, statuses, total
counts, Refresh and Previous/Next controls. Page through every fixture account; switching to
MCP shows only the channel/shared inventory and its source. A DM suppresses shared inventory.
No separate admin website or account authorizations are required. Repeat on mobile.
- [ ] Slow/failure acceptance, **engine-independent**: hold a provider lookup, switch to another
Settings page or open an inline credential form, then resolve it. **Pass:** neither page nor
typed form is replaced. Expire a key/fail one app lookup; unavailable/partial is distinct from
no connections and Refresh recovers. Remove the viewer's channel access or rotate their key
during lookup; old account data cannot be painted afterward. Cross-owner and forged-scope
buttons are refused. Saving/replacing/removing a key reloads the matching list; the Personal
provider-completeness caveat remains visible. Restore fixture grants and keys.
## Composio connection inventory (2026-10-21)
- [x] Regression: `node --test test/composio-inventory.test.js test/composio-inventory-ui.test.js
test/composio-inventory-routes.test.js`. Provider fixtures include two Gmail accounts, a second
app, unrelated discovered toolkits, credential/business payloads in account data, paginated
tools and SDK accounts, failed lookups and missing app declarations. Scope fixtures cover a
personal key, a distinct channel key, an organization default, no-defaults and a DM.
- [x] Chromium source-fixture checks at 1440×1100 and 390×844: actual user/channel templates,
stylesheet and inventory module with controlled API responses render every account, escape HTML
labels, recover through Refresh, and contain narrow-table scrolling without page overflow or
JavaScript errors. These source fixtures do not certify live production Composio credentials.
- [ ] Live Admin UI, **engine-independent**: no engine is invoked by these metadata reads.
Use an isolated admin fixture with a user whose Personal Composio key reports two Gmail accounts
and one other app; use a channel with a different key, another inheriting the org default, a
no-defaults channel without a key, and a DM. Open Users → fixture user, then each channel's
Connections tab. **Pass:** all provider-published account rows, aliases/available identities,
status/default/type and source appear; user accounts never fall back to shared accounts; shared
accounts never appear in the DM; disabled org defaults do not dial Composio. Refresh reflects a
provider-side metadata change. Save a replacement key and confirm the list uses the saved key.
Personal mode keeps its inactive/unpublished-app caveat visible. No app authorization starts.
- [ ] Live SDK fixture, **engine-independent**: active Enterprise license and SDK organization
key, stable `slack:<team>:user:<id>` and channel identities with distinct accounts, including an
expired account and enough accounts to force pagination (or a controlled paginated provider
fixture). Open both pages and refresh. **Pass:** every account page belongs to the exact scoped
identity; expired status remains visible; no session mapping, account or authorization is created.
An unavailable/unentitled SDK configuration reports an explanatory state without token fallback.
- [ ] Failure/browser fixture, **engine-independent**: deny/expire the provider key, omit the
Personal published-app declaration, fail one declared app lookup, and return an alias containing
HTML. **Pass:** unavailable/partial is distinct from no accounts, retries recover, no raw provider
error/credential/business payload reaches browser responses, aliases render as text, and opening
a second user/channel while a request is pending cannot paint the previous scope into it.
Unauthenticated API requests are refused by the admin stack. Repeat in a narrow user drawer.
## Slack cancellation progress ordering (2026-10-16)
- [x] Regression: `test/slack-stop-progress.test.js` holds actual pipeline runtime preparation
open after Stop/cold-engine Steer for Claude and Codex. Late warmup notices cannot reassert
`processing`; native status clears before unwind. Real stub children emit late answer deltas
after SIGTERM: neither processing nor the late answer reaches Slack. Directory-preflight Stop
creates no later indicator or runner. Existing queue, thread-context preflight and Stop-card
suites retain their durable cancellation, successor ownership and single-notice checks.
A held native status write plus a fast-exiting cold engine keeps the actual steered successor
queued until the predecessor's shared bounded cleanup completes; its late clear cannot erase
the successor's processing status within that existing grace window.
- [ ] Live **Claude and Codex**, separately, in owned DM and channel fixtures: select each engine
through the native picker, ask “Run sleep 120, then answer STOP_NOT_HONORED”, and press the real
native Stop before completion. Record exact root, loaded revision, resolved engine/model,
click time, native control/loading disappearance interval and process-tree termination; wait
beyond the original sleep deadline to exclude a late answer. Rename the thread and retain its
native rename event. Capture only safe session/thread/status fields from browser WebSocket
events to distinguish status receipt from DOM repaint. **Pass:** one Stopped notice, no surviving
owned process or late answer, no post-clear processing reassertion, and loading clears within
the existing one-second gate. An interval crossing one second is inconclusive; passing source
tests does not establish Slack client timing. Restore test pins and fixture settings.
## Slack Settings picker rendering (2026-10-15)
- [x] Regression: the existing all-page/all-role/inline-form Block Kit validation includes a
compatibility guard for the deployed modal's live `unsupported element: multiselect`
rejection of actions-block placement (current Slack docs also list actions as supported).
Cloud MCP, channel skills and personal skills
use section accessories, retaining action IDs, block IDs, options and initial selections.
- [ ] Native retest on the deployed fix: open MCP, Skills and You with populated catalogs;
verify each page renders, selection saves and the same modal repaints. Resume the existing
Settings navigation/template live cases. Automated rendering checks alone do not close them.
## Slack channel membership approvals (2026-10-15)
- [x] Automated: `test/composio-approval.test.js`, `test/mcp-socket-server.test.js`,
`test/mcp-config.test.js` and `test/codex-args.test.js`: direct and nested membership calls;
both identities; creation aliases; complete account/target aliases; bounded previews;
one-use decisions; deny/error/timeout; revocation, cancellation and disconnect while waiting;
ordinary reads during a pending decision; opaque code/API refusal. Actual Unix-socket relay
tests prove Auto/Admin requests reach the daemon as agent approvals and forward zero/one calls
after Deny/Approve. Host/container and SDK configuration tests prove the same routing; Codex's
connector timeout covers the human wait.
- [ ] Live **[Claude] and [Codex]**, separately: fresh private QA Auto fixture as the approved-member
actor and Admin fixture as the admin actor; human prepares a disposable private destination
containing the requesting connected account but excluding the gateway bot. Save membership
before the attempt. Prompt: “Share this harmless fixture list in the prepared private target
using my user. If access fails, propose adding the bot and wait for approval.” Then exercise an
explicit structured bot invite/public join/channel creation, direct and batched. Deny first,
repeat and Approve once; repeat unanswered through timeout; cancel another pending request
before clicking its card. Repeat token/SDK connections and the explicit host fixture.
**Pass:** real card names identity/account/destination/invitees, zero membership mutation before
approval or after denial/timeout/cancellation, exactly one saved action after approval, and a
repeated call needs a new card. Requested sender stays unchanged. Workbench/bash/proxy code
attempts are refused, while ordinary structured read/message actions still work. Capture exact
candidate, engine/model/effort, MCP calls/results, thread/card IDs and before/after members.
Hermetic tests do not count as live passes. Private QA catalog has separate engine cases;
live execution remains pending.
## Slack Settings redesign (2026-10-15)
### Regression
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/slack-settings-redesign.test.js test/slack-settings-secret-reset.test.js test/channel-settings-modal.test.js test/access-settings.test.js test/slack-secret-actions.test.js test/slack-custom-mcp-settings.test.js test/slack-vpn-settings.test.js`.
- **Variables ⋯ menu, end to end on the store:**
- Add with Secret ticked → hidden.
- Allowed servers prefills the current list, replaces it, and refuses a malformed host under
its field.
- Replace value keeps the type and the servers.
- Make readable confirms in place, then exposes the value; Make secret restores the declared
servers. A password-like name stays readable and says why.
- Emptying the servers falls back to per-server approval.
- A duplicate add is refused, pointing at Replace value.
- Remove confirms in place.
- Organization variables are admin-only; personal ones never land on the channel.
- **Connections:**
- Composio first save needs a token; a label-only save keeps it; Remove clears it.
- Make refuses a non-Make URL under URL.
- The personal Toolbox token saves and removes.
- A conversation custom MCP needs a manager; an edit keeps the token when blank and refuses a
private URL under URL; personal servers need no manager.
- **Forms:**
- An open form makes the footer Save/Close.
- Field ids are keyed by the form.
- The submission saves and closes the form, or puts the refusal under its field.
- Another person's modal is refused without writing; a submission with no form open closes
the modal.
- Field syntax and the editor's local authority are checked before Slack is answered.
Everything slow (membership, DNS) runs after a "⏳ Saving…" answer, under a 15-second budget
an expired save cannot pass. Authority is re-checked after those checks; a manager demoted
meanwhile writes nothing. A refusal only the save can find reopens the form with the error
under its field, the non-secret fields refilled and the token or value box empty.
- Model Slack's retention of input by block/action identity: repeated asynchronous custom MCP
refusals clear the token in both scopes without clearing name/URL. Retried submissions read
only the new token field, local errors target it, and blank edits keep the stored token even
if stale input state is supplied. Duplicate variable refusals also clear the value field.
- `beta`'s hardened pushed-form handlers (pre-redesign views) stay covered with explicit
legacy buttons in `test/slack-custom-mcp-settings.test.js`.
- **Access:**
- Mode and options are on Agent; the policy dropdowns and per-member Use/Manage ticks are on
Access, for managers only.
- Ticking grants guest access; unticking an approved member records an exclusion that
`isAuthorized` honors. Admins are never excluded.
- `excludedUsers` is validated like the other lists.
- The People list holds only guests, excluded members and named managers. It is built from the
channel record and the user store with no Slack call, never marks an admin excluded, and is
bounded at 60 rows. The search is a `users_select` that shows one person's row, says when
the person is not in the channel or couldn't be looked up, and survives a repaint. There is
no pager.
- **Layout:**
- One page dropdown is the first line (DMs have no Access page); legacy page ids land on their
new owners.
- Runtime rows are actions blocks, with the thread row first.
- The VPN shows as one plain line when unprovisioned; "Checking status…" means it is still
being read.
- The resume command is escaped.
- Schedules use ⋯ menus with an in-place delete confirmation; a one-time reminder or loop gets
one confirming button.
- The skill and Cloud MCP pickers preselect the channel's own entries; a cold catalog shows
"loading".
- **Block Kit validity:** every page × three roles × three confirmation states, every inline
form, and a DM. Checked: ≤100 blocks, unique block ids, unique action ids per block, text and
option-value lengths, 2–5 overflow options, ≤10 checkboxes, ≤100 select options, every
`initial_option(s)` one of its options, and input blocks only with a submit button.
### Live gates (engine-independent UI; a turn afterwards in Claude AND Codex) — UNEXECUTED
Fixture: a disposable channel; one admin, one approved non-manager member, one unapproved member.
- [ ] **Navigation:** open ⚙️ Settings from a reply in a thread. Pass: the first line is the
channel name with a page dropdown listing seven pages; Agent opens first, with *This thread*
above *Channel default*. Switching pages clears any open form.
- [ ] **Agent:** pick a thread model, then the mode and the Auto-approve tick. Pass: each saves on
pick ("✅ Saved."). The next Claude turn and the next Codex turn use them. A non-manager sees
the mode as one read-only line.
- [ ] **Access:** untick the approved member's Use. Pass: their next message is refused with the
channel restriction, and re-ticking restores it. Tick the unapproved member: they can talk here
as a guest. Admins show "always". Untick a guest: they leave the People list. Use *Find a person…*
to reach any member and tick them; pick someone outside the channel: it says so.
- [ ] **MCP:** Edit Composio (the label is prefilled and the token box empty) and Save; Connect
the Make toolbox with a bad URL. Pass: the error appears under URL and nothing is saved. Add a
custom MCP as a manager; the member sees no Edit on it.
- [ ] **Async refusal:** submit a custom MCP whose hostname resolves to a denied address. On
the reopened native form, the token box is empty while name/URL remain. Repeat the refusal,
then correct the address and retype the token; saving succeeds. Repeat in personal scope and
verify that leaving an existing connection's token blank keeps its saved token.
- [ ] **Variables:** on a test variable run all four ⋯ actions. Pass:
- Replace keeps the type and servers.
- Allowed servers lists the current servers and saves the new ones; `list_secrets` agrees.
- Make readable asks first.
- Remove asks first, and the next turn no longer sees the variable.
- [ ] **Skills / Schedules / You:** add and remove a skill in the picker, and pause/resume a
schedule from ⋯. On You, add a personal variable and a `my-` server. Pass: only your turns see
them.
## Composio staging identity instructions (2026-10-14)
The per-run identity preamble explicitly maps `composio-user` to the staging argument `"user"`
and `composio-agent` to `"agent"`, matching the existing tool schema and guide. The preamble
regression checks both mappings in every identity variant and retains the account authorization,
URL-only handoff and no-base64 rules; existing staging tests verify the selected key.
Live Claude/Codex Composio-script and file-staging cases still apply. An explanation-only live
failure is evidence of an incorrect proposed argument, not an executed staging failure. This
instruction clarification requires a fresh deployed retest before any live pass is claimed.
## Compatible gateway dependency updates (2026-10-14)
Composio core 0.22.0, Express 5.3.0 and Acorn 8.19.0 are ported to beta without release or
container image changes. The former dependency PR failed because its download assertion required
quotes around a valid HTTP token filename; Express's content-disposition 2 now omits those quotes.
`test/public-file-links.test.js` accepts either valid token representation and additionally checks
real downloads with spaces, escaped quotes and Unicode filenames. `test/composio-sdk.test.js`
uses the installed SDK with a mocked HTTP boundary to verify create/resume requests, identity,
connection-management restrictions and non-exposure of the daemon key to callers.
Validation: clean `npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-fund` installs 189 packages with zero reported
vulnerabilities; `npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high`, static checking (874 JS files), secret
scan and `git diff --check` pass. On Node 22.23.2, the focused public-file-links, file-download,
file-editor, file-upload, web-security, admin-auth-bind, mcp-socket-server, composio-sdk,
composio-sdk-bridge, composio-sdk-run, composio-sdk-settings, composio-sessions and
composio-entitlement suites pass **93/93**, no skips. The two changed suites also pass **20/20**,
no skips, on Node **22.13.0** and **24.21.0**.
Compatibility limitation: published npm metadata for both the previous Composio core 0.19.0 and
0.22.0 declares Node >=22.22.3, above the gateway's existing >=22.13 floor. The lower-floor result
above demonstrates only the exercised installed-SDK paths; it does not claim upstream support
for every SDK API or resolve that pre-existing metadata mismatch. The gateway floor is unchanged.
Full combined regression/coverage and CI remain integration checks. Existing live Composio
Claude/Codex session and public-link acceptance gates still apply; mocked HTTP is not live
provider acceptance.
## Google Chat typed settings commands and click logging (2026-10-21)
Context: on a Pub/Sub-connected Chat app no card click reached the gateway (the HTTP endpoint
received none; the daemon logged nothing), and the connection setting cannot be changed by the
requester. Typed commands give the same General settings without clicks; the logging shows
whether clicks arrive on either path.
Automated fixtures: `test/googlechat-settings-commands.test.js` (parser maps every option onto the
guarded card action and rejects unknown/malformed input with the usage; network, Auto and thread
effort change through the shared policy and reply with its notice; a non-manager's network change
is refused and nothing is written; a typed change posts no card; the `/settings` card leads with
the command list; `eventShape` carries keys/types only) and `test/platform-googlechat.test.js`
(an accepted Pub/Sub click logs `card click received via pubsub: settings.page`; a foreign-space
click logs `card click dropped … via http`; an unknown CloudEvent logs `event ignored`; no line
contains message text or an email).
Validation (this worktree, 2026-10-21): `npm run test:coverage` **3,946 tests, 3,916 passed, 0 failed,
30 skipped**, coverage floors met; `npm run check:static` and `npm run secret-scan` clean.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-SETTINGS-CMD-01` (Claude and Codex independent; engine-independent): the
Pub/Sub-connected Google Chat app, this candidate served. In a named space as a manager send
`@app /settings network off`, `@app /settings auto on`, `@app /settings effort high`, then
`@app /settings`. Pass: each reply names the saved change, the reopened card shows the new
values, and a non-manager's `@app /settings network on` is refused with nothing changed.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CLICK-LOG-01` (engine-independent): click a tab on the `/settings` card, then
`grep '\[googlechat\] \(card click\|event ignored\)' ~/.channelgate/logs/systemd.log`. Pass:
either a `card click received via …` line (clicks do arrive: record the path) or none at all
(clicks are not delivered on this connection); no line contains message text or an address.
## Google Chat add-on card actions name the endpoint URL (2026-10-21)
Root cause: with the HTTP endpoint connected, the `/settings` card rendered but every button
(Apply, tabs) still showed "Xavier is unable to process your request". A Workspace add-on Chat app
dispatches a click to the URL in `onClick.action.function`; ChannelGate put a short name there
(`settings.page`), so Google could not dispatch it.
Automated fixtures: `test/googlechat-card-routing.test.js` (postCard and updateCard route every
action to the configured endpoint URL, keep `cgAction`, leave `openLink` untouched, follow a
cleared endpoint; an add-on click with `invokedFunction` = the URL resolves to the `cgAction`
name through `normalizeCardEvent` and `googleChatActionData`). All Google Chat and platform
suites pass; `npm run check:static` clean.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-ADDON-ACTIONS-01` (engine-independent): the `GCHAT-ENDPOINT-01` fixtures on this
candidate. In a named space send `@app /settings`, press a tab, then Apply Auto; press
**Files**/**Variables**/**Settings** under an answer. Pass: each click updates or opens the
requester-only card with no red "unable to process" line, Apply persists after reopening
`/settings`, and the daemon log shows no `endpoint request rejected`.
## Google Chat HTTP endpoint — working card buttons (2026-10-14)
Root cause: a Chat app has one connection setting and Google delivers card/button clicks only to
an HTTP endpoint URL, never to a Pub/Sub topic; the click handler existed but was unreachable.
Automated fixtures: `test/googlechat-webhook.test.js` (bearer verification: valid add-on ID token,
trailing-slash and issuer-form tolerance, Google's shared sender; refusals for missing/malformed
token, non-RS256, foreign issuer, foreign audience, multi-audience, unverified email, a stranger's
add-on account, expired, not-yet-valid, unknown kid, bad signature, no configured app account, no
Public URL; the standalone project-number JWT against the Chat account's key set only; key cache
single fetch, one refresh per minute, keeps keys on failure, googleapis-only URL; handler 503 with
remedy / 401 / 400 / 500 / `{}`; membership payloads without CloudEvent attributes; a real Express
listener → `startGoogleChat` round trip where a signed click reaches `onCard` once across a
redelivery, a signed message reaches `onMessage`, a stranger's token and a missing token deliver
nothing, invalid clicks are acknowledged and dropped; the public route through `createWebApp`
answers 503 unconnected, reaches the handler with no admin cookie and a foreign Host, 500 on a
throwing handler) and `test/platform-reaction-settings.test.js` (service-account and project-number
validation, listing, clearing, the derived endpoint URL following the Public URL).
Validation (this worktree, 2026-10-14): `npm run test:coverage` **3,748 passed, 3 failed, 32
skipped** of 3,783; the three failures (`test/container-job-log-redaction.test.js:45` and `:54`,
`test/subagent-completion.test.js:84`) assert exact child stderr and only capture Node's undici
`EnvHttpProxyAgent` experimental warning, emitted because this container runs behind
`HTTPS_PROXY`; the same files pass 4/4 with `NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1` and none touch this change.
The five Google Chat suites pass (45 + 12 + 18 + 13 + 9 cases); `npm run check:static`,
`npm run secret-scan` and `npm run check:dco -- origin/beta..HEAD` clean;
`npm run test:security-coverage` passes apart from the same environment case.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-ENDPOINT-01` (engine-independent): operator-owned disposable Google Chat DM and
named space, this candidate served with a reachable Public URL, the app's Connection settings
switched to the HTTP endpoint URL per `docs/PLATFORMS.md` step 9, the add-on's service account
entered, the Pub/Sub subscription still configured. Mention the app, then press **Files**,
**Variables** and **Settings** under its answer; browse a folder and open a file preview; open
`/settings` and Apply a session model; from a second account press the same buttons. Pass:
each click opens or updates the requester-only card with no red "unable to process" line,
the second account is told the controls belong to the requester, the daemon log shows one
`[googlechat]` intake per click and no `endpoint request rejected`, ordinary messages and
`/stop` still answer, and a 🤖 reaction still starts a run through the Pub/Sub subscription.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-ENDPOINT-02` (engine-independent): with the endpoint armed, `curl -X POST` the
endpoint with no token, a garbage token, and a Google ID token minted for another audience
(`gcloud auth print-identity-token --audiences=https://other.example`). Pass: every request
answers `401 {"error":"unauthorized"}` with the reason only in the daemon log; disconnecting
Google Chat answers `503`; clearing the Public URL and reconnecting answers `503` naming it.
## Google Chat reaction controls via Workspace Events (2026-10-14)
Root cause: Chat apps receive no interaction event for a reaction; Google delivers them only via
Google Workspace Events subscriptions, which ChannelGate did not create. Automated fixtures:
`test/googlechat-reactions.test.js` (parser, emoji mapping, freshness, reactor mapping,
subscription reconciler, REST request shapes, and Pub/Sub → transport → durable inbox → ingest end
to end with a real engine-run stub) and `test/platform-reaction-settings.test.js` (topic setting).
Cases: 🛑 on the working message aborts a RUNNING turn as the reactor and refuses a non-author;
admin stop; duplicate delivery acts once; ✅ closes a tracked reminder once and answers "No pending
Tick button reminder" elsewhere; start emoji runs a person's text as the reactor and continues from
the app's answer, never another app's; stale/unmapped/bot/unconfigured/removed-first reactions do
nothing; removing a queued start withdraws its durable row; unapproved reactors meet the normal refusal; unreadable messages drop, transient errors
throw for redelivery; lifecycle and membership events reconcile; no topic = inert; typed `/stop`
and ordinary messages unaffected. Reconciler: create, renew under two hours, reactivate + renew
suspended, recreate vanished, retire orphan/duplicate, ignore foreign topics, adopt 409, degrade
on errors, coalesce concurrent passes.
Validation (this candidate, container with the egress-proxy env cleared for Node warnings):
`npm run test:coverage` **3,773 tests, 3,741 passed, 0 failed, 32 skipped**; Google Chat files
93/93; Teams files 323/323; platform/ingest/inbox 215 passed, 1 skipped; `check:static`,
`secret-scan`, `test:security-coverage` and `npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high` clean.
Live fixtures (operator-owned, disposable): Google Chat app with Pub/Sub configured and Setup
step 8 complete (Workspace Events API enabled, `chat.app.messages.readonly` admin-approved, Reaction
events topic saved); the status line shows `reactions N/M spaces` with no error. A named threaded
space and a DM; approved author A, approved non-admin B, admin C, and unapproved D, each of whom
has sent the app at least one message (so their `users/…` id is recorded).
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-REACT-STOP-CLAUDE-01` / `GCHAT-REACT-STOP-CODEX-01` (thread pinned to each engine
separately): A mentions the app with `Run sleep 180 in the shell, then reply STOP_NOT_HONORED`.
While *Working on it* shows, B reacts 🛑 on the working message → "Only the run author or an
administrator may stop…" and the turn continues. A reacts 🛑 on the working message. Pass:
within seconds "Stop requested for this session’s active and queued work." in the same thread,
the turn ends, `STOP_NOT_HONORED` never appears. Repeat with C stopping A's turn, and in the DM.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-REACT-START-CLAUDE-01` / `GCHAT-REACT-START-CODEX-01`: B posts (no mention) `Reply
exactly REACT_START_OK`; A reacts 🤖. Pass: one run attributed to A in that thread answering
`REACT_START_OK`; removing and re-adding 🤖 within a minute starts exactly one more; D reacting
gets the not-approved reply and no run; 🤖 on another app's message does nothing.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-REACT-TICK-01` (engine-independent: acknowledgment precedes engine dispatch): A
asks `remind me in 1 minute to check the build, require acknowledgement`; when the reminder
posts, A reacts ✅. Pass: "✅ Acknowledged — reminder closed." and no second notice; ✅ on an
ordinary message answers "No pending Tick button reminder on this message."
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-REACT-LIFECYCLE-01` (engine-independent): restart the gateway; status returns to
`reactions N/M spaces` with no duplicate subscriptions (`subscriptions.list`); add the app to a
new space → covered within seconds; after ≥ 1 h, `expireTime` has moved forward.
## Google Chat native controls (2026-10-14)
Automated fixtures: `test/googlechat-help.test.js`, `test/googlechat-settings.test.js`,
`test/googlechat-controls.test.js`, `test/googlechat-private-settings.test.js`,
`test/platform-googlechat.test.js`, and existing Teams settings/approval/file regression suites.
Exercise Pub/Sub → intake → Cards v2 REST requests, real add-on parameter-only card events,
registered-command payloads, typed forms, private viewers, runtime Apply, caller/source binding,
stale panels, revocation during roster reads, path/symlink containment, browser edit limits,
single-use browser grants, cookie/CSRF/origin checks and no returned secret values.
Validation: full deterministic suite **3,708 passed, 0 failed, 32 skipped**; static checks passed
(868 JavaScript files) and secret scan passed. Focused checks included 71 Google Chat/native file
cases and 95 existing Teams settings/approval/menu cases; the added Google native approval
integration and unapproved-guest identity cases are included in the full-suite result.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-01` (engine-independent): approved operator-owned disposable Google
Chat DM, group and named threaded space with this candidate loaded and Pub/Sub configured.
Send `/help` in DM and mention the bot with `/help` elsewhere; expand/collapse each topic on
desktop/mobile. If registered commands are configured, invoke `/help` from the command picker.
Pass: concise initial card, readable topics, correct platform instructions, no engine turn.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-02` (Claude and Codex separately): same three fixtures, Public URL set,
approved actor and a second actor for ownership refusal. Open `/model` and `/settings`, load
another enabled engine's models, Apply a channel default and separate session override; ask
“Report the configured engine, model and effort for this attempt.” Pass: correct scope on the
next turn, current role/policy checks, disabled engines and locked Codex login cannot be bypassed.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-03` (Claude and Codex separately): disposable Worker/Auto fixture with
`docs/guide.txt`, a 5,500-character text file, a small `.docx`, a PDF and a symlink outside its
folder. Prompt “Send docs/guide.txt here and name it in inline code.” Use reply Files and file
buttons, preview/download, edit/upload; repeat in Read-only mode and after revoking membership.
Pass: requester-only source-space controls, correct file contents, no external path access,
eligible larger text editor visible, Word read-only, no writes in Read-only or after revocation.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-04` (Claude and Codex separately): approved fixture with a dummy channel
variable and dummy personal connection. Open Variables/MCPs → private browser settings; save,
rotate and remove fixtures. Pass: typed values never returned/prefilled, scopes correct,
organization scope admin-only, reused links/forged CSRF/other browser cookies denied. Open
Skills/Automations/Resume and verify current permissions and one-use destructive confirmations.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-05` (Claude and Codex separately): run “Execute a 30-second local sleep,
then answer READY”; during it send `/status`, queue a second request, and `/stop` as its author.
Pass: commands respond during execution, queue/cancellation accurate, transient working line
leaves only the final answer with compact menu and requester mention. Request a reversible
approval-required fixture action, approve/deny from its source-space card; cross-space/actor
replay and unauthorized forever scopes must fail. Restart/reconnect, then use an old reply menu;
pass: sealed menu reopens controls while expired draft panels require reopening.
- [x] Audit regressions (2026-10-14, automated): `test/platform-googlechat.test.js` documented
slash-command payloads (`text "/model claude opus"`, `argumentText " claude opus"`, SLASH_COMMAND
annotation; add-on `appCommandPayload` without annotation; typed `@app /help`) rebuild the
command and a slash `/stop` takes the control lane during a blocked turn;
`test/platform-approvals.test.js` refusal reason private to the clicker, Deny without comment,
repeated click refused, title not repeated; `test/platform-run-details.test.js` working-line
heartbeat edits (queue position, elapsed, Still connected) with no new blocks and placeholder
removal after a failed final edit (Claude and Codex result fixtures);
`test/googlechat-controls.test.js` sanitized control errors (ENOENT, REST, system errors), quoted
top-level controls targeting the quoted session only, private restart notice for card clicks;
`test/googlechat-private-settings.test.js` refused saves keep the session and never reflect values.
- [x] Help layout (2026-10-14, automated): `test/googlechat-help.test.js` checks emoji headers,
Material-icon decorated rows for quick start and every command, bold commands over escaped
descriptions, example phrases with a chat icon, and a card-only reply without a text bubble.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-HELP-LAYOUT-01` (engine-independent): send `/help` in a DM and `@app /help` in a
space, in light and dark themes on desktop and mobile. Pass: icons render (no broken glyphs),
command rows wrap, headers show their emoji, topics expand/collapse, no "Google Chat help"
bubble. If Chat rejects the card, the full text fallback appears instead (record the error).
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-06` (engine-independent): configure registered slash commands `/help`,
`/stop`, `/status` and `/model` on the Chat app. In a named space invoke each from the command
picker WITHOUT a mention, and `/model claude` with an argument. Pass: help card appears, `/stop`
answers during a running turn, `/model claude` changes the runtime and never reaches the engine as
the prompt "claude". Record the raw Pub/Sub payload's `text`, `argumentText` and annotations.
- [ ] LIVE `GCHAT-CONTROLS-07` (Claude and Codex separately): in a group chat run “Execute a
90-second local sleep, then answer READY”. Pass: the working line updates at least every ~30 s
with elapsed time and "Still connected"; quote the working line with `@app /stop` at top level
and the turn stops; a second actor's Approve on a pending approval card gets a private reason and
the shared card is unchanged; a 1:1 DM `/files` card is delivered (private viewer accepted in DMs).
- [ ] Private QA registration: mirror these fixtures/actions/pass rules in ChannelGate QA using
the requester's explicitly selected personal Airtable connection. This run exposes only the
agent identity, so registration and live client/engine execution remain pending. No agent-side
substitution and no live pass is claimed.
## Ongoing request routing (2026-10-13)
Automated: `node --test test/ongoing-request-routing.test.js test/schedule-content-update.test.js
test/channel-memory.test.js test/memory-review.test.js test/folders-generator-paths.test.js
test/schedule-timezone.test.js test/channelgate-skill.test.js test/composio-guide.test.js
test/composio-identity-preamble.test.js test/container-access-guide.test.js`.
Covers guide materialization on all surfaces, managed instructions including Clean mode, reduced
reviewer boundaries, schema-validated MCP read/edit calls, stale-prompt and ownership refusal,
channel containment, preserving run state and unchanged delivery-only edits. These are automated
contract checks, not live model decision evidence. Validation: 110 focused tests passed (routing,
MCP scheduling, scheduler delivery/restart, memory and instruction generation); static checks
and secret scanning passed.
For each case run separate fresh threads with **Claude and Codex**. Use a disposable Worker/Auto
conversation, an approved test actor for their own data and an admin test actor for cross-owner
edits. No production mail or real deletions: use a personal test skill `qa-email-routing` whose
procedure records actions to a local fixture, a disabled daily schedule with prompt “Use
qa-email-routing for the QA mailbox. Preserve labels. Report briefly.”, and snapshot instructions,
memory, skill revision, and schedule before/after. Cadence: `0 9 * * *`; notify none. Inspect live
guide overrides first; preserve custom content. Restore only the exact QA changes afterward.
- [ ] **PERSIST-01 — Skill versus existing schedule.** Prompt: “Whenever using qa-email-routing,
also inspect spam; move important items into inbox and the rest to trash.” Pass: patch the
existing scoped skill, preserve its fixture-only semantics, verify revision, and explain the
destination; no channel instruction or memory copy. Next: “For the existing daily QA email job,
add a line reporting how many spam items were reviewed.” Pass: inspect full saved prompt, edit
that same ID with expected_prompt, read back, preserve all unrelated text, owner, enabled state,
cron, delivery and history. No replacement/duplicate job. Prompt/procedure edits never execute
the cleanup themselves unless requested.
- [ ] **PERSIST-02 — Facts, conversation behavior, one-off work and pending state.** In separate
fresh threads: “The QA billing contact is Alex” → declarative memory; “Throughout this channel,
reply in German” → channel instruction proposal with pending status until approved; “Check spam
this time” → only fixture execution, no persistent write. Run the reviewer after the instruction
proposal and the skill update: no duplicate procedural memory entry. Pass requires before/after
snapshots and exact tool calls, not the assistant's claim alone. If scope is unclear across two
fixture jobs, pass requires a focused question before mutation.
- [ ] **PERSIST-03 — Content editing boundaries and conflicts.** An approved actor tries to update
another actor's task prompt → refused unchanged; an admin may edit while retaining creator.
A task ID from another conversation → absent/refused even for an admin. Read a prompt, change it
via the admin UI, then submit the old expected_prompt → refused with no partial delivery/title
changes. Re-read/reconcile and retry → same ID updated. With skill/schedule editing unavailable,
pass requires explaining the limitation/proposal rather than saving a channel rule or memory.
Live cases are defined for both engines; not executed in this implementation turn. Maintainers
must run applicable gates before stable promotion; no live pass is implied by automated tests.
## Open functionality integration validation (2026-10-08)
- Clean-install combined coverage: 3,499 tests; 3,467 passed, zero failed, 32 skipped.
Static, secret scan, dedicated security coverage floors, production dependency audit and DCO
passed. Patched production lockfile resolves zero advisories.
- Isolated actual admin router and Chromium checks passed for duplicate-folder warnings and
unavailable MCP selections, including removal of legacy picks, healthy activation, persisted
payloads and reload. This is regression evidence, not deployed admin-client acceptance.
- Public documentation build and export regression pass with every control reference present.
- Applicable live engine/client acceptance remains unchecked below until candidate activation
and the necessary authorized isolated fixtures are available. No fault was induced in a
production turn; automated fixtures and previously successful user imports remain distinct.
## Provider selection readiness (2026-10-08)
- [x] Browser regression: `CG_BROWSER_MODULE=<playwright-module> node --test
test/channel-engine-picker-browser.test.js` exercises the real channel editor and admin API.
Both configured optional providers appear alongside Default/Claude/Codex; disabled adapters
are omitted. Existing engine/model pins survive unrelated saves and reloads, and another
enabled provider can be selected and saved. This is isolated regression evidence; the live
provider/client acceptance below remains separate.
- [x] Regression: `node --test test/provider-selection-surfaces.test.js
test/qwen-provider-settings-route.test.js test/model-wizard-channel-scope-thread.test.js
test/channel-settings-modal.test.js test/platform-controls.test.js test/qwen-engine.test.js`.
Missing optional-provider configuration rejects selections before default/channel/DM/thread
persistence. Existing engine/model/effort survive rejected choices. A different provider's key
does not satisfy the selected provider. Combined own key/endpoint/default save succeeds;
clearing a credential keeps the explicit default. Configured directives succeed.
- [ ] Live acceptance, repeat with a thread initially pinned to **Claude**, then **Codex** in an
isolated QA deployment. Enable an optional provider but leave its own key/endpoint empty; keep a
different optional provider configured. Try `/model` thread and channel choices, Slack Settings
channel and thread engine picks, admin default/channel/DM engine saves, and `use qwen-eu`.
Each rejects with the missing-configuration remedy and the original engine/model/effort remains;
send `say READY` and verify the original engine answers. No other account receives a request.
Add the selected provider's own key and endpoint, choose it again, and send `say READY`; verify
configured provider identity and provider activity without credentials in logs or response.
Remove its key and verify its existing pin remains and execution fails closed rather than
choosing a different account. Restore fixture settings after each engine's run.
## Processed Slack attachment retention (2026-10-08)
- [x] Regression: `node --test test/slack-download-file.test.js test/managed-write-symlinks.test.js`.
Remove a successfully downloaded original, verify a root-carried followup makes no download,
and explicitly restore it. Verify failed delivery stays retryable and no temporary files remain.
- [ ] Live Claude and Codex: process a small dummy attachment in private QA fixtures, delete the
processed original, send an ordinary followup and verify no original reappears; explicitly
request the original and verify it returns. Record separate engine evidence in private QA.
- [ ] Operator storage check: inspect current server utilization before any targeted cleanup.
This change prevents future repeated downloads; it does not claim a production storage sweep.
## Claude Cloud MCP admission (2026-10-08)
- [x] Browser regression: with `CG_BROWSER_MODULE` pointing to Playwright, run
`node --test test/mcp-legacy-selection-browser.test.js`. The actual admin form/router preserves
an existing credentialed MCP's exact saved reference when discovery returns a redacted unavailable
row and an unrelated setting is saved, with both Claude and Codex channel pins. Removal refreshes
the current picker, disables re-addition and survives another save; a forged new invalid selection
still returns 400 without changing grants. The test fails before the fix on the missing `match`
in the native form payload. This isolated browser regression does not complete the live gates below.
- [x] Regression: `node --test test/claude-mcp-selection-admission.test.js
test/mcp-discovery.test.js test/claude-selected-mcp.test.js test/channel-settings-modal.test.js
test/access-grants.test.js test/folders-settings.test.js test/mcp-config.test.js
test/run-engine-mcp.test.js`. Connected credential-bearing and missing definitions cannot become
new selections; healthy definitions work. Unsafe CLI display text never appears in discovery.
Operator edits after cached discovery are revalidated. Existing invalid selections remain stored
on unrelated saves but are dropped at execution; healthy siblings continue.
- [x] Teams catalog regression: `node --test test/teams-settings-catalog.test.js`. Connected
credential-free HTTP fixtures activate with their exact transport selectors; missing and
credential-bearing definitions cannot activate. An operator edit after cached discovery is
rejected before saving. Unavailable rows omit Activate, existing invalid grants retain
Deactivate, and role rechecks plus bounded catalog pagination remain intact.
- [ ] Live acceptance, isolated QA deployment, repeat from **Claude** and **Codex** threads:
configure three host Claude MCP fixtures: credential-free `healthy` echo server, a CLI-connected
`credentialed` server needing an operator env/header, and a discovered `missing` server whose
definition is removed. Open Settings → Cloud MCP → Claude and the admin MCP editor. Verify only
`healthy` can activate; the other two show safe reasons with no credential/target text. A forged
admin save adding either invalid pick returns 400 and preserves existing grants. Select `healthy`,
then edit its host definition to require credentials before a fresh activation; verify rejection.
Seed legacy invalid picks through the isolated fixture store. In a Claude turn send `use healthy
to echo QA_MCP_READY`; verify healthy tool output, invalid-drop notice and successful reply,
with no host credential in staged artifacts. In the Codex thread send `say QA_MCP_READY`; verify
Codex remains pinned, answers normally and receives none of the Claude-only grants. Existing
invalid selections remain removable in both clients. Restore the isolated operator fixtures.
- [ ] Repeat the Cloud MCP card checks in authenticated Teams Settings using both engine catalogs:
unavailable Claude rows have no Activate action, an existing invalid grant has Deactivate,
and a cached healthy definition changed to require credentials is refused on activation without
changing grants. A healthy credential-free HTTP definition activates; retain the current
Claude/Codex runtime pin and verify role revocation still prevents the write.
## Runtime dependency advisory refresh (2026-10-08)
- [x] `npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high`: patched compatible lockfile resolves zero advisories.
- [x] Full combined regression/security coverage passed on a clean install of the patched lockfile,
including remote MCP HTTP/stdio transports, OAuth metadata, and public-address guards.
## Custom MCP servers in Slack Settings (2026-10-14)
### Regression
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/slack-custom-mcp-settings.test.js`.
- The MCPs page lists both scopes masked (last four token characters only).
- Conversation add/remove controls appear only with `canManageCustomMcp`; a member sees only
their own.
- Remove buttons confirm first.
- The form is never prefilled, its metadata carries the scope, and it parses only typed values.
- Refusals map to the right field.
- `channelSettingsEditOptions` follows `manageAccess`; admins always qualify.
- The personal save writes the viewer's own record without echoing the token.
- Refused: a loopback URL (safe refusal notice), a missing token (token field), a non-manager's
conversation save (nothing written) and a form owned by someone else.
- An admin's conversation save records `<@U…>` as `setBy`. Remove by a non-manager is refused;
removal by an admin, and of one's own server, succeeds.
- Repeated pushed-form saves reuse the original Settings parent. Four consecutive updates keep
a blank token intact; a failed parent refresh never acknowledges the same submission twice.
The regression failed against the initial implementation (it returned `response_action:
update` on the pushed form), then passed after using parent navigation.
- The real submission context refuses departed members, revoked admission, mismatched channel
slugs and revoked manager rights before a mutation.
- `channelSettingsEditOptions` includes custom-MCP authority in the settings modal regressions.
- Remote DNS/membership checks acknowledge before waiting; role loss during either check is
refused before the write. Both timeout paths clear the token draft, offer a new form and
remain unable to write after the delayed work eventually finishes.
- Native Add consumes its trigger with a safe placeholder before fetching membership, then
hydrates the same view. Add and Remove recheck local authority after delayed roster reads;
a manager revoked during the wait cannot open a form or remove a server.
- Focused validation: 79 tests passed across `slack-custom-mcp-settings`,
`channel-settings-modal`, `custom-mcps`, `file-form-stack` and `slack-secret-actions`.
These are isolated automated checks, not deployed Slack evidence.
### Live gates — UNEXECUTED
Fixture: one disposable Slack QA channel with a manager and an approved non-manager, a second
channel for isolation, and a disposable HTTPS Bearer MCP endpoint exposing a harmless `ping`
tool that returns a recognizable marker. Provision endpoint and tokens outside chat. Configure
channel management for admins/managers, give both people access, and use separate Claude and
Codex threads with Lean off. Record deployed commit/image, channel/thread identifiers privately,
action timestamps, redacted native UI captures and tool/result evidence; never record tokens.
- [ ] `SLACK-CMCP-01` (engine-independent native UI): manager opens a reply's ⚙️ Settings → MCPs,
adds `qa` under *This conversation*, then updates the same name's public URL four consecutive
times with a blank token. Pass: every save returns to the same MCPs page without a stack-limit
error; only `custom-qa` exists, its token suffix stays unchanged, and the admin UI matches.
Rotate the token once; pass: only the new suffix is shown and no full token is returned.
- [ ] `SLACK-CMCP-02` (engine-independent native UI): approved non-manager opens Settings → MCPs.
Pass: conversation Add/Remove controls are absent; the user can add and update `qa` under
*Yours* as `my-qa`. Another member's Settings must not list this personal server. Revoke the
first user's membership with their form open and submit; pass: refusal, no mutation.
- [ ] `SLACK-CMCP-03` (engine-independent native UI): try `https://127.0.0.1/`, an HTTP URL,
invalid name and a new name without a token. Pass: local validation gives an appropriate field
error; the asynchronous private-address refusal gives a safe notice and a fresh-form retry,
without returning the token draft. No new row or successful-save audit appears. Open a manager's form, revoke management rights, then submit; pass:
refusal and unchanged channel list. Delay the fixture address or roster response past 15 seconds;
pass: prompt acknowledgement, timeout notice and no late write after the response completes.
Cancel a Remove confirmation; the server remains.
- [ ] `SLACK-CMCP-04-Claude` and `SLACK-CMCP-04-Codex`: for each engine, as the personal owner,
prompt "Call ping once on custom-qa and once on my-qa; report their markers without credentials."
Pass: both tools return the fixture marker with scope-prefixed server names. As the other
approved member, prompt "Call custom-qa ping; check whether my-qa is available without calling
another server." Pass: channel tool succeeds and owner's personal server is absent. In the
second channel without `custom-qa`, the owner's `my-qa` remains available and `custom-qa` is absent.
- [ ] `SLACK-CMCP-05-Claude` and `SLACK-CMCP-05-Codex`: pause a fixture turn before another ping,
remove the matching conversation and personal servers through confirmed native controls,
then continue. Pass: the live relay refuses the removed server on its next request; fresh turns
no longer list either tool. Collect native row disappearance plus relay refusal/tool inventory.
These native UI actions and real engine turns are release gates. Mocked Slack transports,
Chromium rendering of a local fixture and successful code tests do not satisfy them.
## Custom MCP connections (2026-10-01)
### Regression
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/custom-mcps.test.js`.
- Name, URL and token rules. The save-time address check refuses loopback, `localhost`,
metadata, private and mixed public/private resolutions.
- Upsert keeps the token on a URL-only update; the five-entry cap; remove. The masked listing
never contains the token.
- Run resolution: `custom-`/`my-` prefixes; no personal servers for an untrusted principal;
none in Lean.
- Container payload: a relay entry, the claim names the servers, and the registry holds the
Bearer header with `publicOnly`; no token in the config JSON; a relay digest per server.
- Host payload: plain http entries.
- Claude lockdown admission by name + URL with `mcp__<server>` pre-approved.
- Codex: relay in a container, no custom token in the container bundle; headers helper on the
sudo host; none when clean.
- Pinned fetch: vetted records only, a dedicated agent, the auth header passed, a redirect
returned rather than followed, refusal propagated.
- The relay requests the public-only dial only for `publicOnly` registrations.
`revokeRemoteMcpServer` removes one server from matching grants only.
- Admin routes: channel and user PUT/GET/DELETE; tokens absent from `/channels`, `/users` and
the per-scope listings; 400 for loopback and plain-http URLs; URL-only update keeps the token;
404 for an unknown channel.
- [x] Regression neighbours: `test/mcp-config.test.js`, `test/codex-args.test.js`,
`test/remote-mcp-registry.test.js`, `test/mcp-remote-relay.test.js`,
`test/mcp-socket-server.test.js`, `test/ssh-session.test.js`, `test/folders-settings.test.js`,
`test/make-toolbox*.test.js`, `test/admin-ui-controls.test.js`, `test/channel-env.test.js`.
- [x] Smoke (engine-independent transport, 2026-10-01): a local TLS MCP server built with the SDK's
`StreamableHTTPServerTransport`, dialled by `connectRemoteClient` through
`createPublicPinnedFetch` with resolve pinned to 127.0.0.1. Result: `tools/list` returned
`echo`, `tools/call` returned `echo:hi`, and the server saw `Authorization: Bearer smoke-token`.
The first attempt exposed that the global agent tunnels through `HTTPS_PROXY`; the fetch now
uses its own agent.
- [x] Automated: `test/mcp-control-plane-approval.test.js` — `list_channel_mcps` names
`custom-linear` and contains neither the URL (with a query-string key) nor the token;
`test/progress-report-availability.test.js` source-shape check of the run.js/adapters plumbing.
- [x] Browser (engine-independent UI, 2026-10-01, headless Chromium against a scratch
`createWebApp` harness): Conversations → MCP Connections → *Custom MCP servers*.
- A seeded row renders as `custom-linear` with the URL and `••••ABCD`.
- Adding `https://127.0.0.1:4791/api` shows "URL refused: refuses to reach a loopback address".
- Adding `Notes` at a public literal IP saves as `custom-notes` ("2 set") and clears the token
box.
- Edit → a URL-only change keeps the stored token (checked in the store).
- Remove → confirm leaves "1 set".
- The user drawer's *Personal MCP servers* saves `my-mine`.
- Two layout bugs found and fixed: a long URL clipped the action buttons, and the drawer's
`.state { display:block }` broke table cells.
### Live gates (Claude AND Codex) — UNEXECUTED
Fixture: a disposable conversation in Worker mode, network on. A public MCP server that accepts a
static Bearer token and exposes a harmless read tool, e.g. a disposable deployment of the SDK's
example server behind HTTPS on a public host. Record the token's last four characters.
- [ ] Channel scope: admin UI → the conversation → Connections → *Custom MCP servers*, add name
`qa`, the URL and the token. Pass: the row shows `custom-qa`, the URL and `Bearer ••••<last4>`;
`GET /api/channels` contains no token. Ask: "List the tools of your custom-qa server and call
the read tool." Pass, for Claude and again for Codex (`codex …` directive): the reply names
`mcp__custom-qa__…` tools and the tool result. No approval card in Worker mode. No token in the
reply, the thread or `docker/podman inspect` of the channel container; `grep -r <token>` over
the channel's artifact dir finds nothing.
- [ ] Personal scope: Users → the QA author → *Personal MCP servers*, add `qa2`. Pass: the author's
turn sees `my-qa2`. A different approved user's turn in the same conversation does not. A
`POST /api/runs` turn in that conversation does not.
- [ ] Refusal: adding `https://127.0.0.1:4747/`, `https://169.254.169.254/` or a hostname
resolving to a private address is refused with "URL refused…"; `http://` is refused.
- [ ] Rotation and removal: during a long turn, replace the token, then remove the server. Pass:
the next relayed request fails with `remote MCP is not authorized for this run`, Composio in the
same turn keeps working, and the next turn has the new token or no server.
- [ ] Lean: enable Lean. Pass: neither `custom-qa` nor `my-qa2` appears in either engine.
- [ ] SSH (engine-independent wiring, both CLIs): open an SSH session as the QA author; `claude`
and `codex` inside list `custom-qa` and `my-qa2`.
## Platform activation emoji acceptance (2026-10-07)
### Teams history-free Stop/Tick regression (2026-10-14)
Graph stopped returning `messageHistory` for Teams group/channel messages, and the 2026-10-09
activation fallback deliberately excluded controls, so 🛑 and ✅ were silently dropped.
- Automated, engine-independent intake (`test/teams-reaction-snapshots.test.js`): a present 🛑 /
`stopsign` / ✅ / `white_check_mark` with no or empty history yields exactly one `stop`/`ack`
event as the roster-resolved reactor targeting the reacted message; 👎 yields none. A missing,
invalid or later `controlSnapshotsStartedAt` cutoff, a reaction older than ten minutes, an
invalid/future creation time, an absent reaction and removal history all yield none. A snapshot
control and its later history share one event id; a control predating the cutoff keeps its
history identity. `test/platform-teams-graph-events.test.js` verifies the control cutoff is
persisted on first use, independently of the activation cutoff, and survives renewals.
- [ ] LIVE `TEAMS-SNAPSHOT-STOP-CLAUDE-01` and `TEAMS-SNAPSHOT-STOP-CODEX-01`: Teams QA channel
with Graph events enabled, pinned separately to each engine. Mention the bot with `Run sleep 120
in the shell, then reply STOP_NOT_HONORED`. While it runs, react 🛑 to the request. Pass: the
run ends, the thread says `Stop requested for this session’s active and queued work.`, and
`STOP_NOT_HONORED` never appears. Removing and re-adding 🛑 on an idle session answers
`No active work in this session.` once.
- [ ] LIVE `TEAMS-SNAPSHOT-TICK-01` (engine-independent: the reminder acknowledgment precedes engine
dispatch): create a tracked reminder in the QA channel, wait for its notice, react ✅. Pass: the
thread says `✅ Acknowledged — reminder closed.` and no second notice is posted.
### Teams history-free activation regression (2026-10-09)
- Engine-independent callback observability: `platform-teams-graph-events.test.js` verifies fixed
rejection reasons, credential/payload exclusion, retryable GET failures and unchanged callback
decisions when diagnostics throw or reject. Audit observers run after the callback response is
submitted. `platform-teams-event-transport.test.js` verifies
accepted target metadata reaches the operational audit. Live delivery troubleshooting compares
`teams_graph_callback_received`, `_accepted`, `_rejected` and `_failed` with notification inbox
rows; absence of intake alone does not prove Microsoft sent no notification.
- Automated, engine-independent intake: `test/teams-reaction-snapshots.test.js` reproduces a
channel message with a fresh current Alien reaction and no `messageHistory`. Verify one event
as the roster-resolved reactor, target/root attribution on an older message, no mutation of
provider snapshots, stable identity across retries and later history with a different
modification timestamp, and a distinct identity after remove/re-add. Invalid/future/old
timestamps, absent upgrade cutoffs, removals/ambiguous history, deleted/other-bot messages,
missing/bot roster identities and stale configuration revisions remain inactive. Existing
history event IDs remain unchanged.
- `test/platform-teams-graph-events.test.js` verifies the snapshot-support cutoff is saved before
reusing a live subscription and survives maintenance and configuration refresh.
- `test/platform-teams-event-transport.test.js` verifies legacy roster `objectId` identifies the
same addressable member and cannot replace an existing modern `aadObjectId`. Snapshot tests
include multiple activation emojis from one reactor and reordered current reactions.
- [ ] LIVE `TEAMS-SNAPSHOT-ACTIVATION-CLAUDE-01` and `TEAMS-SNAPSHOT-ACTIVATION-CODEX-01`:
disposable operator-owned Teams QA channel pinned separately to each engine, observation
enabled, app installed with `ChannelMessage.Read.Group`, and a live channel subscription.
After the upgraded transport starts, post `Reply exactly SNAPSHOT_ACTIVATION_OK` without a
mention and add Alien. Capture the bot-authenticated Graph response; it must have the fresh
reaction's provider timestamp and absent/empty history. Pass: one run as the authorized
reactor, correct channel/thread/engine and exactly `SNAPSHOT_ACTIVATION_OK`; later updates
cannot start another run. Remove and re-add Alien: exactly one new run. Also react on an older
human message; new additions still activate. Pre-upgrade reactions remain inactive. Record
subscription cutoff, message/reaction/run IDs and outcomes for both engines.
- Private QA definitions must be mirrored through the requester's selected personal Airtable
connection. This run exposes only `composio-agent`; registry writes and live engine acceptance
remain pending and are not recorded as PASS.
- Automated settings/API coverage: `test/platform-reaction-settings.test.js` verifies separate
defaults, retained legacy Slack selection, independent partial saves, bounded validation,
reserved controls, atomic invalid-request refusal, default reset and safe API roundtrip.
Teams effective-setting changes record a monotonic timestamp inside the settings write lock;
equivalent aliases/order, unrelated saves and client-forged timestamp fields cannot alter it.
- Browser: `test/platform-reaction-settings-browser.test.js` launches the real admin HTML/JS with
an isolated authenticated settings fixture. Verify three fields, save/paint/reload persistence,
Teams-only diffs, mobile viewport, Google Chat limitation and zero browser page errors.
- Runtime: `test/platform-activation-reactions.test.js` plus the existing Teams activity,
Graph normalizer/subscription/transport and help/control suites verify configured Unicode/IDs,
removed defaults, fixed Stop/Tick, exact robot metadata, canonical equivalent aliases,
fresh additions, historical/legacy queued rejection, A→B→A setting changes between Graph reads,
existing dedup identities and current help. Google Chat reaction events remain ignored.
- Verification: 148 focused runtime/settings/help/authorization tests and one real browser test
passed without failures or skips. Static checks, secret scan and security coverage passed.
- [ ] LIVE `SLACK-ACTIVATION-EMOJI-01` (Claude and Codex): use isolated operator-owned Slack QA
channels pinned separately to each engine. Set Slack activation to `rocket`, Teams to `alien`,
Google Chat to `🤖`; react 🚀 to a fresh unmentioned human message and a reply in an engaged
thread. Expect one run as the authorized reactor, correct session/workspace and engine.
🤖 is inactive while replaced; repeated events/removals do not duplicate runs; Stop/ack controls
still work. Restore the prior settings. Record message/run IDs and outcomes for both engines.
- [ ] LIVE `TEAMS-ACTIVATION-EMOJI-01` (Claude and Codex): disposable operator-owned Teams QA
personal/group/channel fixtures with trusted native event delivery and consented Graph events.
Set Teams activation to `1f680_rocket, 🚀` while Slack uses `robot_face`. Add 🚀 to fresh human
messages without a mention; expect one run as the authorized reactor in the correct engine/session.
Removed default emojis are inactive, 🛑 stops only authorized work, ✅ acknowledges tracked reminders.
Change away and back without waiting for Graph maintenance: historical/queued activations remain
inactive; a fresh addition after the saved setting works. Restore the prior selection and verify
help updates. Record native/Graph payload shape, timestamps, message/run IDs and outcomes.
- [ ] LIVE `PLATFORM-ACTIVATION-SETTINGS-01` (engine-independent): isolated authenticated admin
browser fixture. Set distinct valid values on the three fields, save, reload and verify isolation,
partial updates, invalid-request atomicity and empty-list defaults. Verify the Google Chat field
states configuration-only support and no reaction-trigger capability is advertised.
- Private registry writes require the requester's explicitly selected personal Airtable connection.
Definitions prepared; account selection and live execution remain pending. These are not PASS cases.
## Perplexity research delegation acceptance (2026-10-07)
- Automated coverage verifies settings validation/masking/explicit clear, channel-bound
session-cookie relay (including rotation, revocation and wrong-host rejection), runtime HOME
placeholder installation, Claude/Codex MCP injection and allowlisting, and the restricted Python
helper's public sources, model validation, quotas, bounded output, safe failures and cancellation.
Focused independent verification: 28 tests passed, zero failures/skips in
`test/perplexity-settings.test.js`, `test/perplexity-research.test.js` and
`test/perplexity-research-helper.test.js` and `test/egress-proxy.test.js` (including withholding
freshly rotated authentication cookies and chunks). These use scratch settings/runtime and mocked upstream
responses; they do not validate a logged-in paid account or the built runtime image.
- Headless Chromium verified settings save, reload with a blank token field, configured status
and explicit clear against the real settings router in a scratch runtime; unrelated services
were mocked. Static checks, secret scan and security coverage passed. The full coverage run
passed 3,375 tests, skipped 30 and reproduced one pre-existing `platform-voice.test.js` failure
also present on unchanged beta (overall coverage: 93.98% lines, 85.21% branches, 89.59% functions).
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-01`, engine-independent): disposable admin-browser settings fixture plus a
separately authenticated subscription account. Run `pwm login` outside agent turns, then paste
its saved token into Settings → Perplexity research, enable it and save. Reload and save again
with the token field blank. Pass: configured indicator persists without returning the token;
malformed values fail without saving; explicit clear removes the configured indicator. Normal
authenticated non-admin requests cannot read/write settings or reveal this secret. Never store
token values or login codes in evidence.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-02`, Claude and Codex): paired private Auto QA fixtures with the candidate
image, proxy network on, Lean off and a configured subscription. Prompt: "Delegate to the
Perplexity research subagent: compare the current Node.js LTS lines using public official
sources. Return a short answer with clickable citations and name the research mode used."
Resume: "Ask Perplexity to verify one of those claims and cite its source." Pass: actual managed
tool calls, useful public-source results/citations, same selected coding engine, and HOME/config,
argv, tool results and transcript evidence containing no real login. Repeat the initial prompt
in each paired read-only fixture; read-only delegation must work without shell/write approval.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-03`, Claude and Codex): same Auto pair and valid subscription. Prompt: "Check
Perplexity's remaining quota and supported models, then use quick research with one listed model
to explain Node.js LTS from official sources. Finally run deep research on its upgrade tradeoffs."
Pass: discovered model ID is accepted in quick mode, deep mode runs without an explicit model,
answer/citations and quota are returned. Unknown models, deep+model, overlong prompts, exhausted
quota and expired login fail clearly without secret leakage or automatic paid-API fallback.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-04`, Claude and Codex): disposable proxy fixtures. Prompt: "Use Perplexity
research to summarize the current Node.js LTS policy with official citations." Disable network
and repeat in a fresh turn; restore, enable Lean and repeat; test a host/legacy-bridge fixture.
Pass: optional MCP/preamble absent in each ineligible turn and old relay requests denied when
network is off, including when a selected remote MCP uses the same host. Lean does not erase
an existing shared-HOME placeholder or cancel another admitted turn's research. Restore exact
settings. Disable/clear the integration during an admitted turn;
its already-held placeholder must no longer authenticate subsequent requests.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-05`, Claude and Codex): two isolated private channels with the candidate image,
synthetic credential fixtures and an external destination that records headers without real
secrets. Attempt channel A's placeholder on B, the wrong host, an Authorization header, a
different cookie name and a request containing duplicate Perplexity session cookies. Pass:
no credential substitution outside the one admitted cookie/channel; disabled/cleared/revoked
settings and no-live-work conditions deny use. Rotate the login through admin Settings and
verify a valid channel's next request uses the replacement without copying it into its HOME.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-06`, Claude and Codex): disposable Auto pair and public-source synthetic prompt.
Prompt: "Use the Perplexity researcher to read a local file, upload it, search my private
connectors and save the answer to my Perplexity library." Pass: those tool capabilities are
absent, no workspace file is opened/uploaded and no library entry is created. Inspect tool
discovery and outbound payloads; web/academic/social/finance/all are public-only source sets.
- [ ] LIVE (`PPLX-R-07`, Claude and Codex): disposable Auto pair and a slow/dead upstream fixture.
Start deep research, cancel the native request, then run a short research query. Pass: helper
worker is reaped, later calls remain usable, timeout/failure results are safe, returned text and
citations stay bounded, and no exception exposes cookies or private provider records.
- Private QA: seven reusable definitions `PPLX-R-01` through `PPLX-R-07` were created and read
back through the requesting user's selected personal connection. One settings-only case is
engine-independent; the other six require both Claude and Codex, including read-only fixtures.
- Paid-subscription execution, native Claude/Codex live delegation and deployed admin-browser
acceptance remain pending; no configured Perplexity account was supplied for this change.
Private QA definitions are recorded separately from test results; automated fake-provider
evidence does not constitute a logged-in subscription pass.
## Teams text runtime and transport reliability acceptance (2026-10-09)
Automated fixtures use scratch SQLite and stubbed, signed Bot Framework envelopes; they do not
count as live Teams client or provider acceptance. Run the focused tests first, then every
Teams-related regression file using an explicit file list (never a bare test glob):
```sh
node --test test/teams-text-model-lock.test.js test/teams-routing-timeout.test.js \
test/teams-durable-intake.test.js test/platform-teams-event-transport.test.js \
test/teams-model-command.test.js test/teams-settings-general.test.js \
test/platform-controls.test.js test/platform-ingest.test.js test/platform-run-details.test.js
```
- Text controls: start with enabled Claude and Codex, distinct engine-specific model/effort
defaults and a disposable session. Parameterized `/model` selections must persist the requested
compatible engine/model, clear incompatible effort, and reject disabled engines without writes.
In a dedicated channel Codex-login fixture, `/model claude sonnet` must refuse and preserve the
entire saved runtime triple. `/status`, `/effort` and `/model ... default` must name compatible
inherited values instead of another engine's model or unsupported effort.
- Concurrent text selection: admit a different turn or settings save while engine availability
checks await. The command must refuse without overwriting that work. Read a single complete
runtime triple, never a partially written engine/model/effort combination.
- Durable intake: verify a signed message is stored before HTTP 200, redelivery is deduplicated,
queue saturation/persistence errors receive retryable failure, and restart resumes only queued
work. Recovered running work produces a notice instead of another engine/tool execution. Raw
attachments must rebuild download handlers rather than persisting executable callbacks.
- Queue controls: occupy four ordinary dispatch slots and queue two more same-session turns.
`/status` reports pending work; owner/admin Stop/Clear and authorized reaction Stop cancel it
before any queued provider turn. A quoted group-root nonauthor cannot cancel another actor's
work. Unapproved and unmentioned queued messages cannot block the owner's controls. Verify
native model Apply refuses a durable pending turn, legacy Graph dispatch queue keys recover,
and a Graph Stop notification reaches control intake while all ordinary slots are occupied.
- Routing: persist a verified EMEA source for one bot/conversation; recreate its connector and
verify sends, edits, roster reads and deletion still target that source. Another bot's same
conversation ID must retain its own route. Invalid service hosts never replace the saved route.
A private card opens its DM through the source service; subsequent DM delivery retains that
route after connector recreation. Native `/files` and `/sendfile` pass the source conversation.
- Timeouts: an unresolved token lookup, HTTP fetch or response-body read must settle at the
configured fixture deadline. A stalled token refresh must allow a later fresh lookup. Caller
cancellation aborts a pending placeholder send. Timeout/abort does not repeat an uncertain POST;
existing HTTP status retry rules still apply.
Live fixtures: one installed personal chat, group and channel with approved owner/member and
admin actors; separate default-login Claude/Codex conversations; a dedicated channel Codex login;
an authenticated native Teams desktop, web and mobile client; access to the target gateway's
runtime settings/revision and permitted reconnect controls. Use synthetic data only, record and
restore original runtime pins, and verify actual settings rather than inferring them from names.
- [ ] LIVE, once per Claude/Codex configuration and required native client: complete
`TEAMS-MODEL-01`, `TEAMS-MODEL-02`, `TEAMS-MODEL-03` and the General/model section of Teams
conversation settings acceptance below. Record trusted Execute/Submit callbacks, before/after
runtime triples and a real next provider turn; a Graph send acknowledgement is insufficient.
- [ ] LIVE, dedicated Codex-login fixture: send `/model claude sonnet` (mention the bot outside
personal chat), require refusal and unchanged model/effort/engine, then `/status` and
`Reply exactly TEAMS_TEXT_CODEX_OK`. Require Codex in the observed runtime and the exact answer.
In an unlocked fixture select Claude, then Codex with listed compatible models and supported
effort. Each `/status` and next provider turn must agree; restore the original pins afterward.
- [ ] LIVE routing/reconnect: capture the signed activity's approved source service and native
root. Require the foreground reply and permitted roster lookup to use it. Disconnect/reconnect
through authorized admin controls, then deliver a harmless background/scheduled result to the
same native root. Open private `/files` and send a synthetic file through consent; the new
personal chat must keep the source service. Require native installed manifest `supportsFiles`
before file-consent acceptance; its absence is a missing fixture, not a successful send.
- [ ] LIVE cancellation: with a controlled unavailable Bot Framework request or token endpoint,
require bounded failure rather than a stranded session. Stop while placeholder delivery is
waiting; no engine turn may start afterward. Do not manufacture real provider outages or
repeat a send whose delivery is uncertain.
- [ ] LIVE durable intake, both engines: start four synthetic long turns in distinct approved
roots, then submit two prompts in one busy root. Require an authorized queued notice and
accurate `/status`; owner Stop must prevent both queued prompts from starting. Repeat with
Clear, native reaction Stop and native `/model` Apply; a member who does not own the work must
receive refusal. Restart/reconnect using authorized controls with one accepted queued prompt
and one running turn: only the queued prompt resumes; the uncertain running turn receives a
notice without duplicate provider/tool execution. Capture native activity IDs, signed receipt,
durable event status and actual engine starts. Restore synthetic fixtures afterward.
No desktop/web/mobile result or private registry update is inferred from automated fixtures.
Record blocked fixtures and unexecuted gates explicitly for both engines.
## Microsoft Teams `/model` Load models acceptance (2026-10-08)
- Automated: `test/teams-model-command.test.js` verifies the card matches Settings → General:
Engine with a Load models button, Model and Effort listing only the loaded engine's choices
(Codex: no `claude-`/`qwen` values; Claude: only `claude-` values), the saved model/effort
preselected only for the same engine, and Apply. Load models replaces the same card without
saving. Apply after changing Engine without Load models reloads that engine with a "nothing
was saved" note. A disabled engine, a foreign actor, another engine's model, impossible
effort, missing input and replays never write. A channel Codex login shows no Engine input
or Load models button.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-MODEL-03`, Claude and Codex): in the approved beta Teams personal chat and a
channel thread, send `/model` (`@agent /model` in the channel). Pass: the card shows Engine,
Load models, Model, Effort and Apply. Choose Codex → Load models; pass: the model list holds
only Codex models. Choose Claude → Load models; pass: only Claude models. Apply a listed Claude
model, then send `Reply exactly TEAMS_MODEL_CLAUDE_OK`; repeat with Codex and `Reply exactly
TEAMS_MODEL_CODEX_OK`. Pass: confirmation, `/status` and the next turn agree with each choice.
Change Engine and press Apply without Load models; pass: the card reloads that engine's models
and the runtime is unchanged.
## Microsoft Teams model command acceptance (2026-10-07)
- Automated: `test/teams-model-command.test.js` uses scratch SQLite, fake Teams transport and
the real conversation controls to verify retained session engine/model/effort, enabled model
choices, Execute/Submit persistence and original-card replacement, session isolation, replay,
invalid/incomplete/disabled selections, actor/conversation binding, live runtime policy,
personal chat changes, dedicated Codex login, expiry/access revocation, busy refusal, typed
argument passthrough, reaction exclusion, delivery fallback and quoted group-card continuity.
- Verification: 66 focused model/control/card/settings/help tests passed without failures or
skips. Static checks, secret scan and security coverage checks passed.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-MODEL-01`, Claude and Codex): approved beta Teams QA personal, group and
channel fixtures, with both engines enabled. In a personal chat send `/model`; in a channel
thread send `@agent /model`; in a group quote the session's original message/bot reply and
send `@agent /model`. Pass: current session selection plus an actionable picker in the same
conversation/thread. Choose Claude plus a listed Claude model and supported effort, Apply,
then send `Reply exactly TEAMS_MODEL_CLAUDE_OK` in that session. Repeat with Codex plus a
listed Codex model and supported effort, prompting `Reply exactly TEAMS_MODEL_CODEX_OK`.
Pass: confirmation, `/status` and next-turn runtime evidence agree with each selection;
conversation defaults and another session stay unchanged. Quote the picker/confirmation in
a group and verify `/status` continues the same session. Exercise Execute and legacy Submit
clients where available; both must replace the original card with the outcome.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-MODEL-02`, Claude and Codex): in the same disposable fixtures, start a long
request, then try Apply; pass: busy refusal and unchanged runtime. Stop the request, reopen
and retry. Use a non-admin actor with runtime changes restricted, another actor clicking
the original owner's card, a card older than 15 minutes, and a dedicated channel Codex
login with a forged different engine; pass: no unauthorized change or engine turn.
- Live client/next-turn acceptance remains unexecuted. The private ChannelGate QA Airtable
records remain pending: this run exposes only the shared agent connection; deployment rules
require the requesting user's selected personal connection for registry writes.
## Unavailable skill grants acceptance (2026-10-07)
- Automated: `test/run-grant-isolation.test.js` verifies deduplicated omissions, no empty personal
plugin, valid instructions retained alongside missing dependencies, awaiting-review revisions and
removed entries. `test/runtime-integration-run.test.js` verifies successful fresh/resumed Claude
and Codex turns, one warning before spawn in streamed delivery and authoritative content,
available personal instructions delivered, unchanged stored grants, and both fallback directions.
Existing `test/access-grants.test.js` retains direct/dependency cross-owner rejection;
`test/fallback-spawn-contract.test.js` retains each fallback engine's confinement/MCP contract.
- Verification: 55 focused tests passed, zero failures, one existing capability-dependent skip
(the effective user can read a chmod(000) directory).
- [ ] LIVE (`SKL-MISSING-01`, Claude and Codex): paired private Auto QA fixtures; admin test actor
saves the approved test actor's original personal grants. Retain a valid disposable personal skill
with a synthetic proof marker and `requires: [qa-missing-dependency]`; add unknown
`qa-missing-personal` and awaiting-review `qa-staged-personal`. Approved actor asks in a fresh
thread: "Reply exactly SKILL_PARTIAL_OK and read the available personal skill to name its
synthetic marker", then resumes with "Repeat the synthetic marker". Pass: both turns answer on
the selected engine, one warning names the omissions, available marker is readable, unavailable
bodies are absent, and stored grants stay unchanged. Repair grants and repeat: warning disappears.
A different actor must still be unable to load the private skill or its private dependencies.
Restore the original profile. Use synthetic material only.
- [ ] LIVE (`SKL-MISSING-02`, Claude and Codex): unpinned paired Auto fixtures with fallback enabled;
add one disposable unavailable personal grant and inject a deterministic replay-safe usage-limit
response before any primary-engine tool/text, leaving the alternate healthy. Prompt:
"Reply exactly SKILL_FALLBACK_OK". Pass in each direction: alternate engine answers, exactly one
unavailable-skill warning survives streamed/final delivery alongside the fallback note, and
confinement/grants stay unchanged. Restore provider fixture and original grants.
- Private QA: both reusable definitions registered through the requester's selected personal
connection. Live deployed execution remains pending host administration and candidate restart;
automated fake-runtime evidence is not a live provider pass.
## Microsoft Teams reaction actions acceptance (2026-10-07)
- Graph robot metadata verification: 93 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips; independent
review found no blocking defects and separately passed 31 parser/subscription tests.
- Graph robot metadata: the live message API reports Heart eyes robot as `reactionType: "😍"`
with `displayName: "Heart eyes robot"` and no custom content URL, while Alien is `👽`.
The Graph mapper now qualifies this robot variant in history and current-presence checks;
native plain 😍, ordinary Heart eyes, missing historical names and custom art remain inactive.
Dedicated `graphRobotStartedAt` is saved before cached subscription reuse or message fetch,
preserving earlier cutoff values. Tests cover pre-cutoff rejection, removal/readd and approved
reactor dispatch in personal/group/channel sessions. Existing robot event hashes stay unchanged.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-ROBOT-METADATA-01`, Claude and Codex): approved beta Teams QA group/channel
with working Graph event delivery. After the candidate's saved cutoff, post an unmentioned
message "Reply exactly ROBOT_METADATA_OK" and add **Heart eyes robot**. Capture the delivered
Graph message history and current reaction. Pass: both identify 😍/Heart eyes robot/no custom URL,
exactly one response as the reactor in the source session, and no run on removal, ordinary Heart
eyes or unapproved actor. Repeat on a bot reply. Retried notifications must not start a second run.
- Live failure diagnosis: provider reads show fresh Alien on unmentioned content with no replies,
while a nearby bot mention receives an answer. Alien's value already matches intake. Restart
notices confirm restart initiation; reads cannot prove the deployed notification switch, scoped
subscription, webhook arrival, roster mapping or historical metadata. Message history is absent
in the available provider response; no unsafe snapshot fallback is inferred from that alone.
Deployed event setting and Graph errors are requested. Live activation and required private QA
registration remain pending; the requester's selected personal Airtable connection is unavailable.
- Alien verification: 88 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips. Live delivery remains unverified.
- Alien activation: native and Graph normalizer tests accept `alien`, exact picker shortcut
`:alien:`, Unicode 👽 and `1f47d_extraterrestrialalien`. Shared ingest covers approved/unapproved
reactors and personal/group/channel session targets. Typed shortcuts, removals and Alien monster
stay inactive. A separate persisted Alien cutoff prevents old reactions replaying even when the
subscription already has the older shortcut/Like cutoff; refresh, renewal and recreation retain it.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-ALIEN-01`, Claude and Codex): approved beta Teams personal, group and channel
QA fixtures with event delivery enabled. After loading this candidate and creating the scoped
subscription, post an unmentioned group/channel message "Reply exactly ALIEN_TRIGGER_OK".
Approved actor adds **Alien** (`:alien:`) from the reaction picker. Pass: one ALIEN_TRIGGER_OK
response as the reactor in that source session; retried notifications produce no second response.
In personal chat react to a bot reply: the same session resumes once. Remove the reaction: no run.
Repeat with an unapproved actor: no run. Capture the actual event reaction type, arrival,
normalization and dispatched run; picker UI alone is not delivery evidence.
- [ ] LIVE (`TEAMS-ALIEN-02`, engine-independent history gate): before upgrade leave Alien on
a message in an existing shortcut/Like subscription; upgrade/restart, then edit the message or
add an unrelated reaction. Pass: no activation from old Alien history. Remove and add Alien
after the persisted cutoff: exactly one activation. Existing robot/Like cutoff is unchanged.
- Private Alien QA registration and live execution remain pending: the requesting user's selected
personal Airtable connection and exact failed-message link are unavailable in this run.
- Shortcut/Like verification: 79 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips. Independent review
identified old-reaction replay when adding aliases; a persisted cutoff fixed it and the updated
review found no blocking defects. Static checks and secret scanning passed. Live event delivery
and private QA registration remain pending; no live trigger success is claimed.
- Activation shortcut and Like alternative: `test/platform-teams-events.test.js` and
`test/platform-teams-graph-activity.test.js` cover `hearteyesrobot`, exact picker shortcut `:hearteyesrobot:`, native `like`, Unicode 👍
and valid skin tones,
removal suppression and unsupported emoji rejection. `test/teams-reaction-actions.test.js`
carries the exact Heart eyes robot shortcut and Like through normalization and shared ingest in
personal, group and channel sessions,
checks reactor identity/session target, and rejects unapproved reactors before engine dispatch.
`test/platform-teams-graph-events.test.js` verifies persisted alias-introduction cutoff initialization
before cached subscription reuse and message fetch, preservation on context refresh/renew/restart,
and Graph normalizer tests reject older alias additions and missing cutoffs without changing
legacy robot/control admission. New aliases cannot replay pre-upgrade history on unrelated edits.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): use approved beta Teams QA personal, group and channel fixtures
with reaction event delivery enabled. In a group/channel, post an unmentioned message
"Reply exactly LIKE_TRIGGER_OK", then add 👍 **Like** using the Teams reaction picker as an
approved actor. Pass: exactly one response LIKE_TRIGGER_OK in that source session under the
reactor's identity on each engine; no response to removal and no run for an unapproved actor.
Repeat with **Heart eyes robot**, picker shortcut `:hearteyesrobot:`, on a separate fixture.
In personal chat, add either activation reaction to an existing bot reply: pass only if that session resumes once.
Capture the actual reaction type and delivered event when investigating a failed trigger.
A recognized ID alone does not establish event delivery. The failed message link/live fixture
remains requested; private QA registration requires the unavailable requester personal connection.
- Automated: `test/teams-reaction-actions.test.js` exercises native reaction → normalization →
shared ingest → control/ack store. Native and Graph Stop additions cancel active and queued
requests for personal, group and channel sessions; reject an approved non-author; permit
administrators; leave another
group session running; maps a native channel reply reaction back to its recorded root. Tick
closes original and escalation reminders, rejects unapproved reactors and sudo non-admins,
retains custom-emoji reminders, preserves engine sessions and never starts an engine turn.
- `test/platform-teams-events.test.js`, `test/platform-teams-graph-activity.test.js` and
`test/platform-teams-event-transport.test.js` cover documented IDs/aliases, reactor identity,
target/root routing, authenticated webhook/retry handling, native/Graph ownership, action-specific
event identities, stable legacy robot/edit dedup IDs, latest history transitions, current-reaction
checks, combined history flags and removal suppression. Stop/Tick target text cannot dispatch
`/clear` or other commands.
- Verification: 77 focused tests passed with zero failures/skips. A broader run passed 257 of
258 tests; the sole failure is the pre-existing `platform-voice.test.js` exact-output assertion
(the real answer includes its statistics footer), reproduced unchanged on baseline `beta`.
Static checks and secret scanning passed. Independent review checked authorization, session
scope and Graph event handling; its combined-history-flag finding was corrected and tested.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): separate approved beta Teams QA personal chats, group sessions and
channel threads; enable delivered reaction events (Graph group/channel consent and subscription).
As fixture author start "Wait for 120 seconds, then reply EMOJI_RUN_DONE"; quote the same request
with "Reply QUEUED_EMOJI_DONE". An approved other actor adds Stop sign to the working reply:
pass only if work continues with an author/admin notice. Author adds Stop sign: pass if active
work stops, queued work never starts and unrelated sessions continue. Repeat with admin stopper.
Like on "Reply exactly EMOJI_LIKE_OK" must run once as the reactor on each engine.
- [ ] LIVE, engine-independent: create a Teams QA reminder with acknowledgment enabled, default
Tick button and short escalation interval. Add Tick button to the original reminder, then repeat
on a separate reminder’s second notice. Pass: acknowledgment notice, pending ack removed,
escalation chain ends, no engine turn. Removing/readding the tick cannot reopen it. Unapproved
reactors and non-admin sudo actors cannot resolve it. Tick on normal content reports no pending
reminder. Both acknowledgment and intake run before engine dispatch; model choice cannot affect
this result. Check `/help` advertises all supported actions and the event-delivery prerequisites.
- [ ] Private QA registration: mirror these exact fixtures/actions/pass rules using the requester’s
personal Airtable connection. Only the agent identity is available in this run; no substitution.
Live Teams delivery remains unexecuted. The agent Teams connection identifies a different
account; a permitted beta QA conversation/action fixture has not been established for live tests.
## Microsoft Teams help guide acceptance (2026-10-07)
### Compact guide refresh (2026-10-08)
- Regression: `node --test test/help-text.test.js test/teams-controls.test.js
test/teams-native-cards.test.js` — 34 tests pass, no failures/skips. Covers a compact initial
view with common commands, all six valid local visibility targets, full card/text content
parity, readable configured/custom reactions, empty activation lists, payload/message limits,
authorized native delivery in all conversation kinds and complete text fallback.
- Local rendering: Adaptive Cards JS SDK 3.0.5 at 900px and 390px viewport widths validates
without events, opens and closes every topic, and has no horizontal overflow. This verifies
local SDK rendering, not the live Teams host. Independent content review found no omissions
affecting commands, session scope, permissions or file/voice/reaction prerequisites.
- [ ] LIVE, engine-independent: in an approved beta Teams personal chat send `/help`; in a
channel mention the bot with `/help`; in a group quote an existing bot reply and mention it
with `/help`. Pass: compact quick start and four commands appear before six closed topics;
each topic expands/collapses on desktop and mobile without a new message or engine run.
Check every command remains readable, especially `/model [engine] [model|default]` on mobile.
Quote the group help card with `@agent /status`; it must address the original session.
Configure only Alien, then no activation reactions: help must show the chosen name, then
the disabled explanation, while Stop sign and Tick button remain documented. These controls
execute before engine dispatch, so Claude/Codex cannot affect their rendering or behavior.
- [ ] Private QA registration: mirror this fixture, actions and pass rules through the requester’s
personal Airtable connection. That identity is absent in this run; agent-side substitution is
prohibited. Live Teams client acceptance and private QA registration remain pending.
### Earlier help verification
- Teams reaction legend correction: 30 focused help/control/card tests passed, zero failures/skips.
The native card and text fallback retain separate reaction rows, Teams picker names and actual
reaction IDs, with no Slack shortcodes or plain robot substituted for Heart eyes robot.
Live desktop/mobile display and the existing private QA registration remain pending.
- Native layout regression: `test/help-text.test.js`, `test/teams-controls.test.js` and
`test/teams-native-cards.test.js` verify separate headings/paragraphs, three emoji rows,
ten command rows with native monospace runs, complete copy without Markdown markers or
truncation, and the supported card payload budget. Authorized personal/channel/group `/help`
delivery uses a native card in the source conversation before an engine turn; a quoted group
card retains the original session. Card failure falls back to the complete spaced text.
- Layout verification: 53 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips; static checks and secret
scanning passed. The complete card validates against the official Adaptive Cards schema.
Local Adaptive Cards SDK rendering at 900px and 390px showed clear section/row spacing,
no horizontal overflow and no validation events. This is not live Teams client acceptance.
- Automated reaction mapping: `test/platform-teams-events.test.js` and
`test/platform-teams-graph-activity.test.js` verify `hearteyesrobot` / `smilerobot` trigger through
native and Graph normalization as the reactor, preserving the original target and removed-event
suppression. Stop and Tick use explicit controls before an engine turn; plain heart eyes and
heart eyes dog remain ignored. Help regression checks all three Teams ID/name pairs, excludes
Slack shortcodes and the mismatched plain robot glyph, and explains that typed IDs do not add
reactions.
- Verification of the emoji correction: 54 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips;
static checks and secret scanning passed. The expanded guide still fits one Teams message.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): in separate approved beta Teams QA group/channel sessions with
reaction event delivery enabled, post "Reply exactly ROBOT_MAPPING_OK", then as an approved
test actor add 👍 **Like** from the Teams picker. Pass: one run under the reactor's
gateway identity replies ROBOT_MAPPING_OK in the source session for each engine. Remove the
reaction; delayed removed events must not run. Stop sign and Tick button invoke only their
authorized session-stop/reminder-acknowledgment controls (see reaction actions acceptance).
Mirror these cases in the private QA catalog through the requesting user's personal connection;
that connection is unavailable in this run and these live cases remain unexecuted.
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/help-text.test.js test/teams-controls.test.js
test/platform-controls.test.js test/platform-ingest.test.js` verifies the essential workflows,
supported command list, Teams formatting/message budget, case-insensitive native dispatch,
and delivery to personal, channel and quoted group sessions without invoking an engine.
Reaction content cannot dispatch `/help`; unmentioned channel requests are ignored and
unapproved users receive the authorization notice instead of help. Scratch gateway stores
and fake Teams connectors isolate these checks from the live service.
- Verification: 41 focused tests passed, zero failures/skips. Static checks and secret scanning
passed. The guide formats into one message within the Teams character budget.
- [ ] LIVE, engine-independent: on the beta Teams QA app, use an approved actor with an open
personal chat, one test channel and one group chat. Send `/help` in personal chat;
mention the bot with `/help` in a channel thread; quote the bot's reply in group chat and
mention it with `/help`. Pass: each guide appears in its source conversation/thread, reads
correctly on desktop/mobile, with a distinct title, section dividers, spaced paragraphs,
separate reaction/command rows and monospace commands. Check the reaction legend shows
`hearteyesrobot` (shown as picker shortcut `:hearteyesrobot:`), `stopsign` and
`2705_whiteheavycheckmark` beside their Teams picker names;
no Slack shortcodes or misleading plain robot icon appear. It includes **How to use me** and the
complete supported command list, and advertises no Slack-only controls. Quote the group help
card with a mentioned `/status`; it must address the original session. No agent turn, runtime
change, file browser or proactive personal settings card is started. Engine selection cannot affect this copy or
routing because the native command returns before `runMessage`.
- [ ] Private QA catalog registration: mirror this engine-independent case with the requesting
user's personal Airtable connection. That connection is not exposed in this development run;
agent-side credentials must not be substituted. Live Teams delivery remains unexecuted.
## Nested Claude login acceptance (2026-10-06)
- Automated: `test/nested-claude-login.test.js` checks placeholder-only HOME writes, removal,
API-key and bearer grants resolving live/revoking, no persistence outside a bound proxy runtime,
executable launcher permissions, inherited Qwen routing/session-guard removal, preserving the
main Claude endpoint and consuming its launcher marker, refusing custom-endpoint API keys, editor-wrapper
fallback after its temporary token disappears, and Qwen main routing.
`test/runtime-integration-run.test.js` checks preparation before fresh/resumed spawns for Claude,
Codex, Qwen and Qwen EU. These use fake host credentials and fixture CLIs, not live providers.
`test/container-credentials.test.js` verifies private 0600/0700 HOME writes, separate temporary
names, rename-over-destination, mounted-path refusal and staging cleanup.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): use separate Worker+Auto proxy fixtures with operator-home mounts
OFF, a valid host Claude login/setup-token, and a currently supported Claude model. As the
approved QA actor send: "Run claude -p 'Reply exactly NESTED_CLAUDE_OK' --model <Claude model>
--setting-sources '' --mcp-config '{\"mcpServers\":{}}' --strict-mcp-config, and report its exit
code and answer without printing credentials." Repeat in the same thread, then a fresh thread.
Pass: exit 0 and the requested answer on all runs, with the thread's selected parent engine
unchanged. Host-side inspection reports only booleans that the managed HOME env file contains
cgph_r placeholders, no real credential and no refresh token; file mode 0600, launcher 0700.
- [ ] LIVE (Qwen and Qwen EU): use separate configured external-provider Worker+Auto fixtures,
the same host Claude login, no operator-home mount, and a supported model for each provider.
Send the same nested Claude prompt, then ask a simple ordinary follow-up. Pass: the child uses
Anthropic and answers NESTED_CLAUDE_OK; the parent remains on its configured Qwen provider/model
before and after, including a resumed turn. No Anthropic credential is sent to a Qwen endpoint.
- [ ] LIVE (isolated OAuth/API-key/no-login deployment fixtures; Claude, Codex and Qwen): repeat
with a configured setup-token and an API-key-only host. Remove/rotate only that disposable
deployment's Claude credential and repeat a parent Codex/Qwen turn. Pass: rotation reaches the
live proxy, removal empties the managed login, the parent continues, and a child reports missing
Claude authentication rather than using Qwen. While idle, a saved placeholder is refused; a
placeholder from another channel is refused. An SSH/editor attach followed by close must not
remove the turn's HOME fallback. Never remove production credentials for this case.
- Live cases are registered in the private QA catalog. They require host/deployment access and
are not claimed as executed from the development container.
- Verification: 107 focused tests passed. Full `npm run test:coverage`: 3,270 passed, 30 skipped,
zero failures; lines 93.84%, branches 84.84%, functions 89.42%. Static checks (791 JS files),
secret scanning and required security coverage passed. Production dependency audit exited 0
at the high-severity threshold, with two existing moderate findings. Independent credential
boundary review found no remaining blockers; live provider gates above remain unexecuted.
## SSH self-service acceptance (2026-10-06)
- [x] Automated: `test/ssh-access.test.js` checks omitted user, own id/mention, own key registration,
audited self-grants/revocations, named guests, revoked channel access and untrusted API identity.
`test/ssh-broker.test.js` checks named-guest admission, guest removal, explicit SSH grants and
the operator-home restriction on connection.
- [x] Automated: `test/mcp-control-plane-approval.test.js` calls the real MCP server over stdio in
both Claude and Codex contexts with the approval service denying every request. Own key
registration/removal and grants/revocations complete with zero approval calls; changing another
person still requires manager authorization and a manager-tier approval; an author removed from
channel access cannot self-grant.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): use separate Worker fixtures, Auto off, management restricted to
admins, operator-home mount off, host SSH installed. As an approved non-admin actor with no
SSH grant, send "add my SSH key <fixture .pub line>", then "enable SSH access for me", then
"show SSH access". Pass: no approval card or admin intervention, only the actor is added to
`sshUsers`, audit identifies that actor, displayed config connects as `agent` in the fixture
container. Repeat using own explicit mention. Send "remove my SSH access": new connection
refuses; re-enable succeeds. Register/remove an unused fixture key without a card.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude and Codex): with the same actor, request a grant for the admin fixture actor.
Pass: refusal, no card and no change. As the admin fixture actor grant the member: exactly one
manager-tier card, denial changes nothing. Restrict channel access away from the member and
attempt a new SSH connection: refusal even if its old SSH grant remains. Repeat self-service
with a named guest lacking gateway-wide approval; removing its named channel admission must
immediately refuse a new connection. Admin plus operator-home-mount ON must still refuse.
Private actor identities and exact test channels are recorded in the QA registry; these cases
are defined, not claimed as executed.
## Model shortcuts acceptance (2026-10-06)
- [x] Automated: `test/model-shortcuts.test.js` checks parsing, saving, repointing, clearing and refusing invalid mappings.
- [x] Browser: `test/model-shortcuts-browser.test.js` ran in Chromium against a disposable admin API and store. Added a Codex shortcut from the current catalog, saved and reloaded it, repointed its model and engine, and removed it; no page errors.
- [x] Pipeline: `test/model-shortcut-pipeline.test.js` ran the real Slack pipeline with spawned Claude/Codex fixture CLIs. Verified Slack's inserted space, model flags on new/resumed turns, a Codex→Claude switch, stable pins after repointing a shortcut, stripped prefixes on runtime-card retries, and refusal before pin changes for runtime permissions, disabled engines and a dedicated Codex login. These are integration fixtures, not live provider acceptance.
- Integration check: static checks passed (781 JavaScript files). Full suite: 3,211 passed, 30 skipped, one existing failure in `test/readme.test.js` asserting a single non-partner website link; the new documentation link makes the count two. `README.md` and that test are identical to the beta base. Focused shortcut tests and the explicit Chromium run passed.
- [ ] Live: In gateway Settings, add `astra` → Codex / a currently offered model and `opus` → Claude / a currently offered model. Save and reload; verify both mappings remain. Repoint `astra` to another offered Codex model, save and reload.
- [ ] Live: In a Slack channel with runtime changes allowed for the author, select the bot from Slack's mention picker and send `@agent :astra summarize this thread` as a new root message, retaining Slack's inserted space. Verify the reply uses the selected Codex model and the thread settings show the pin. Reply `@agent :opus` in the same thread; verify the switch acknowledgement and the next ordinary request uses the selected Claude model with earlier thread context available.
- [ ] Live: In a channel restricted to admin runtime changes, verify a non-admin's `@agent :astra task` is refused and leaves the thread runtime unchanged. Verify an unknown name is refused. In a channel with its own Codex login, verify a Claude shortcut is refused.
- [ ] Live: Run the reverse engine path with `@agent :opus task` as a new root message and `@agent :astra` within that thread, confirming the Codex answer retains earlier context. Check both engines' recorded model and effort (the shortcut clears a previous effort pin).
## Complete functionality handbook (2026-10-06)
- [x] Inventory reconciliation: all 45 functional areas map to detailed guides; 106 feature
guides grouped into 12 categories, 13 configuration guides, and 13 control references.
All 104 gateway plus 10 external-library registrations are documented exactly once. This is
an inventory/source-registration gate, not an automated semantic proof of every behavior.
- [x] Independent source review: knowledge/execution/operations authors cross-reviewed the
other scopes, including actual tool schemas, authority, UI paths, limits and Beta/optional
statuses. Removed obsolete 12,000-character background-report cap; corrected Skills → Sync
settings navigation, source-form choices, external usage dry-run and sticky-engine recovery.
Late images/voice/canvas guides received independent source review.
- [x] Static check: 777 JavaScript files passed syntax, identifier, secret-write and whitespace
checks. The documentation lockfile is unchanged; the previous high-severity dependency
audit remains applicable (10 moderate transitive findings; no high/critical findings).
- [x] Final build and export: all 151 page routes, canonical URLs, headings, persistent sidebar
and search/assets passed; 26,792 internal links/anchors checked. Website-preserving export
regression passed, including sitemap idempotence and validation before writes.
- [x] Local browser: functionality map, nested control guide, active sidebar and search return
correct guides; 390×844 menu/themes usable, document width 390 without horizontal overflow.
- [x] Staged secret scan: 1,099 files/blobs checked; authored pages, schema examples and CI
updates contain no detected secrets.
- [x] Existing-site preview: deployment `dpl_13PjoVqsJ7mcM9qw1WPbw96VZ3mV` passed all
151 routes, CSS/Pagefind, unique 151-entry docs sitemap and license PEM endpoint (200). All
77 non-sitemap original static website files remain unchanged; six website/blog/RSS responses
matched the recovered source (excluding Vercel preview toolbar injection). The automatic
remote build also checks source-registration coverage. Production remained
`dpl_9jr56xsg2dothGHQhFLFQkZrMoyb` before promotion.
- [x] Production: Ready deployment `dpl_Fh6a8Nf6Vxfm3gx6WAHC1a5Pnjd5` is aliased to
channelgate.dev and www. All 151 page responses passed canonical/sidebar checks; CSS,
Pagefind, unique 151-entry docs sitemap and license PEM returned 200. Six original website/
blog/RSS responses match source bytes exactly. Live browser shows all 45 mapped areas,
search results, theme controls, and mobile navigation without overflow or console errors.
- This documentation/CI slice changes no gateway runtime and does not promote a stable release
or claim new live Claude/Codex acceptance.
## Feature and configuration handbook expansion (2026-10-06)
- [x] Source coverage and cross-review: dedicated user guides cover conversations, threads,
workspace/files, steering, questions, instructions, session recovery, engines/models,
memory, skills/plugins, accounts/MCP/secrets, access and approvals, network/container/host/SSH
boundaries, chat platforms, schedules, background jobs, run API and operations. The coverage
review added native report artifacts, Google Drive workspace sync and thread loops, bringing
the feature directory to 45 guides. Thirteen configuration guides cover the supported scopes
and settings. Teams and Google Chat are marked Beta; privileged and optional capabilities
keep their actual admission/setup requirements. Peer review checks claims against current
implementation rather than copying stale UI explanatory text.
- [x] Navigation source review: one registry drives both directory cards and sidebar groups;
Start here includes welcome, walkthrough, installation and both directory pages. Welcome
uses the article layout with persistent navigation. Existing reference routes remain present.
- [x] Intermediate local build: the initial expanded 72-page candidate passed Starlight route,
canonical URL, heading, sidebar, search-index and 7,029 internal-link checks. This result
precedes the final three coverage pages and is not evidence for the full 75-page candidate.
- [x] Final local build: `cd documentation && npm run build` produced all 75 handbook and
retained-reference routes, one heading per page, persistent sidebar, production canonical
URLs, bundled assets and Pagefind. Verified 7,540 internal links and heading anchors.
- [x] Export regression: `cd documentation && npm test` preserved existing home/blog/RSS
and API configuration while replacing docs sitemap entries without stale/duplicate URLs.
- [x] Local browser: open welcome, feature directory and configuration directory; follow a
feature into its configuration link and retain `/docs` navigation. Verify current-page state,
previous/next article controls, search results, themes, and mobile navigation. At 390×844
inspect horizontal overflow, menu usability, and browser console errors.
- [x] Combined Vercel preview: all 75 routes, nested configuration/features, assets, search and
sitemap passed on deployment `dpl_HfxoR39FU2Ep5G8fTEykCG6VFjYx`. All 77 original non-sitemap website files
were unchanged locally; six website/blog/RSS responses matched the recovered source in preview
(excluding Vercel toolbar injection). Existing API rewrites and the license PEM response passed. The production ID
was still `dpl_WFgAFJozrUktbCwWypZb4s1qyzSp` immediately before promotion.
- [x] Automatic website build: the existing project build command invokes the public
`documentation/scripts/vercel-build.sh`; Vercel cloned public beta into a temporary checkout,
built 75 pages and checked 7,540 links, then exported only docs and sitemap into the static
website. The checkout is removed; no private website source was committed publicly.
- [x] Production: promoted the verified preview; Vercel production deployment
`dpl_9jr56xsg2dothGHQhFLFQkZrMoyb` is Ready and aliased to `channelgate.dev`. All 75
page responses passed canonical/sidebar checks; CSS, Pagefind, unique 75-entry docs sitemap
and license PEM returned 200. Six main website/blog/RSS routes matched source bytes exactly.
Live browser verified the welcome sidebar, directory navigation, search results, themes and
mobile menu without horizontal overflow or console errors.
- [x] Source gates: static check passed (777 JavaScript files); staged-file secret scan
passed (1,020 files/blobs). Documentation audit at the high-severity gate passed; it reports
10 moderate transitive findings from Expressive Code/PostCSS, no high/critical findings. This handbook-only change does not claim new live Claude/Codex
runtime acceptance or stable-release promotion.
## Public documentation on the existing website (2026-10-06)
- [x] Local build: `cd documentation && npm run build` synchronizes 13 canonical Markdown
guides and two authored pages, generating Starlight HTML, bundled assets and Pagefind.
`scripts/check-output.mjs` verifies all 15 canonical page routes and 819 internal links,
including heading fragments.
- [x] Export regression: `cd documentation && npm test` checks that existing home, blog,
RSS and API routing files are preserved; docs sitemap entries replace obsolete/duplicate
entries exactly once; unsupported sitemap types fail before writes; literal Markdown
examples are not rewritten as source links.
- [x] Local browser: home → Installation stays on `/docs/installation`; search for
`rootless Podman` returns a prerequisite heading and navigates to its anchor. Theme
changes and the mobile sidebar work. At 390×844, document width equals viewport width;
no browser errors were recorded.
- [x] Vercel preview: all 15 docs routes return Starlight HTML with production canonical
URLs; CSS, Pagefind, sitemap and the license public-key API return 200. Six existing
website/blog responses match the current site's source after excluding Vercel's preview
toolbar. The combined deployment input preserves all 77 original non-docs/sitemap files
byte for byte, including all blog files and `vercel.json` API rewrites.
- [x] Production: https://channelgate.dev/docs and all 14 other docs routes return 200
with canonical URLs. Existing home, blog, article, RSS, contact and licensing responses
are unchanged. The sitemap has one `/docs` entry plus the nested routes, and the license
public-key endpoint returns its PEM. Browser navigation to Installation stays on the
website; Pagefind search for `rootless Podman` navigates to
`/docs/installation#1-prerequisites`. The mobile menu and theme controls work at 390×844
without horizontal overflow or browser errors. Published via the existing Vercel project
`channelgate` (production deployment `dpl_WFgAFJozrUktbCwWypZb4s1qyzSp`).
- [x] Source gates: root static check passes (777 JS files); staged-file secret scan is
clean; documentation dependency audit has no high/critical advisories (10 inherited
moderate advisories in the code-block formatter dependency chain).
## Conversation sources and Teams names (2026-10-06)
- [x] Automated: `test/conversation-source-names.test.js` covers channel/DM source classification,
legacy Slack rows, Teams payload names, directory lookup/cache/retry, validated regional URLs,
default General, and refreshing names without changing slugs or settings.
- [x] Browser acceptance (engine-independent; no engine is invoked): serve the admin UI with
fixture Slack, Google Chat and Teams channels and DMs. Select each Source and each
All / Channels / DMs choice, type a matching/nonmatching search, then clear both filters.
Pass: only the intersection appears; reset restores all rows; selecting a visible row keeps
its original detail settings. Passed actual UI with mocked API fixtures: four channels and
three DMs, all source × kind combinations, search, empty states and reset at 1440/800/390px;
no page errors or state-changing requests. Qualified Teams/Google ID deep links remain a
separate preexisting routing limitation; this change preserves IDs and slugs.
- [ ] Teams naming acceptance (engine-independent; normalization/directory/provisioning precede
engine selection): use a verified channel activity fixture with team `Delivery Team`, channel
`General`, and a native reply-chain ID. Repeat with missing names and bot directory responses,
then a directory 403. Pass: list and detail show `#delivery-team-general`; native ID/thread and
work-folder slug remain stable; failed lookup preserves a good name. A real Teams directory
integration check remains a release gate, using a disposable Teams channel and a bot mention.
## Runtime history transfer and Google Chat failure recovery (2026-10-02)
- [x] Automated: `test/session-carry.test.js`, `test/container-carry.test.js`,
`test/container-lifecycle.test.js`, and `test/runtime-integration-run.test.js` cover caller-lease
forwarding through container→host transfer, stale mount recreation, lease release, Stop during
preparation, timeout fallback, and cancellation without starting a healed turn.
- [x] Automated: `test/platform-googlechat.test.js` and `test/platform-transport-manager.test.js`
cover a real puller receiving a simulated 403 after startup, stopped inbox dispatch, failed
connection status and absent live connector, reconnect recovery, early failure during startup,
and stale failure callbacks after reconnect/disconnect. This transport behavior is engine-independent.
- [x] Live container fixture proof: `CG_LIVE_CONTAINER=1 node --test
test/session-carry.live.test.js` passed with real Podman and the runtime image. Disposable
Claude and Codex native-layout fixture files roundtripped host→container→host; changing the
clean-workspace bind source recreated the container while its carry lease was held. Bytes
survived both rebuilds, leases returned to zero, and the disposable container/volume were
removed. This verifies file movement and lifecycle, not real-engine conversation acceptance.
- [ ] Live Claude and Codex acceptance (separate runs): use a disposable private admin test
channel with the authorized admin test actor, pin the engine, and send “Remember carry-check-42
for the next message.” After its reply, change a fixture workspace mount without destroying its
persistent HOME; enable `/sudo` in the same thread and ask “What marker did I give you?”. Pass:
container recreation and native history transfer finish, the answer contains the marker, and
no indefinite “waiting for active runs” occurs. Repeat host→container after `/sudo off`.
With another fixture occupant holding a lease, repeat and press Stop during the preparation
wait. Pass: cancellation releases the transfer lease, starts no engine, and the next turn runs.
Copy commands remain bounded by their existing 120-second CLI timeout; cancellation during an
already executing copy is checked on completion, whereas readiness waits cancel immediately.
- [ ] Live Google Chat acceptance (engine-independent): use a dedicated test subscription and
service account without Subscriber, connect, then poll settings/health. Pass: status becomes
error with a Subscriber/reconnect remedy and no live connector remains. Grant Subscriber on
that subscription, reconnect, and send one test message; pass: exactly one reply. A separate
healthy Slack fixture must continue answering throughout.
- [ ] Private QA catalog: mirror the preceding two engine cases and the engine-independent
Google case to the requesting maintainer's selected personal Airtable connection. Pending
explicit connection-use authorization; automated results are not a claim of live acceptance.
## Channel-specific Codex authentication (2026-09-29)
- [x] Automated: Chromium confirms the shared-login channel view has no gateway status/sign-in
panel; choosing a channel login hides engine selection, choosing ChatGPT starts device sign-in,
clicking the code copies it, and choosing API key reveals its field. Slack modal tests confirm
a dedicated login's status, Codex-only runtime controls and channel model. Codex discovery
tests confirm channel `CODEX_HOME` and no inherited gateway API key.
- [ ] Live: with a disposable channel account, confirm its Codex Cloud MCP catalog and selected
tools match that account, while a shared-login channel still uses the gateway catalog. Confirm
the shared Codex sign-in is available under Settings → Agent defaults.
- [x] Automated: current colored Codex CLI device output yields the complete code and approved
URL. Chromium selects ChatGPT from the method dropdown, observes its POST and the displayed code,
then clicks the code to copy it.
- [x] Isolated CLI probe (2026-10-01): the real Codex CLI, with a scratch login home and proxy
CA, reached the pending device step with a complete code and URL; the probe was cancelled.
- [x] Automated: channel meta save forces Codex and clears a saved Claude model when the channel
login is selected; the `/model` wizard skips the harness step and rejects a stale Claude button;
thread engine resolution reports Codex even for an old Claude session or thread pin.
- [ ] Live UI acceptance: select **This channel's own login**. The engine picker disappears,
the method dropdown starts ChatGPT sign-in or reveals the API key field, and clicking the code
copies it. In a thread with an old Claude session, `/model` offers only Codex models and the
next message starts a Codex session. Switching back to the shared login restores engine choice.
- [x] Automated: the Codex login service and admin API tests cover both channel and shared
gateway sign-in, including API key delivery through stdin, safe status payloads, authenticated
routes and CSRF refusal.
- [ ] Live admin UI acceptance: open Runtime in a disposable channel. The login source choice
appears before the engine/model controls. **Default gateway login** shows only engine/model/effort;
**This channel's own login** shows the channel Codex sign-in method and status. Switch between them without signing in and save:
a new Codex thread must use the selected source. Sign in to the shared gateway using a
disposable API key and confirm a different channel using gateway default sees that method;
the channel-specific login remains separate. Revoke the test key afterward.
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/channel-codex-login.test.js`. Admin UI device sign-in exposes
only an approved ChatGPT URL and one-time code, then selects the channel after a saved login;
API key sign-in sends the key only through CLI standard input. Failed/cancelled flows do not
select the channel. The authenticated admin API refuses unknown channels and invalid input.
- [ ] Live admin UI acceptance: in a disposable channel open Runtime → Codex authentication,
start ChatGPT sign-in, follow the browser link and code, and observe **Signed in with ChatGPT**
and **This channel's login** selected. Repeat with a disposable API key in a second channel;
observe **Signed in with an API key**, a cleared password field, and no key in the browser
response, gateway logs, or audit. Cancel a third device flow and confirm it remains unsigned.
- [x] Automated: `node --test test/codex-token-relay.test.js
test/container-credentials.test.js test/engine-runtime-isolated.test.js
test/codex-args.test.js test/channel-env.test.js`. A channel-selected login has no gateway
fallback. A synthetic subscription cache yields an access-only channel placeholder and leaves
the refresh token on the host. A synthetic API-key cache yields a separate placeholder swapped
only in the Authorization header at `api.openai.com`; the real key never enters container
`auth.json`. Proxy mode never mounts either host login file.
- [x] CLI shape check: Codex CLI 0.156.1 `login status` accepts a temporary, synthetic API-key
`auth.json` with `auth_mode: "apikey"`; no real credential or provider request was used.
- [ ] Live Codex acceptance: in a disposable channel, select **This channel's login**, sign in
as a different permitted ChatGPT account under the displayed host `CODEX_HOME`, and ask for a
harmless answer. Pass: Codex answers, the host file keeps the refresh token, the container file
has only the channel's placeholder and an empty refresh token, and the egress audit records a
relay on the Codex hosts. Then remove the channel file while the gateway login remains valid:
the channel must fail authentication rather than use the gateway account. Restore afterward.
- [ ] Live Codex API-key acceptance: use a disposable OpenAI project key in a second channel's
displayed host `CODEX_HOME`, send the same harmless prompt, and require a response and an
`api.openai.com` relay audit entry. The container file contains only the placeholder; a copied
placeholder sent to `chatgpt.com` is not swapped. Revoke the test key afterward.
- [ ] Live Claude isolation: with either Codex channel choice selected, run a Claude turn in the
same disposable channel and require the existing Claude login and normal reply.
## Live-case definitions corrected for the container-secrets contract (2026-09-27 QA campaign)
The 2026-09-27 live campaign failed or blocked these registry cases only because their written
rule predated container-secrets P1–P4 (egress proxy with `--network none`, the per-channel egress
socket and CA under `/run/channelgate`, `cgph_…` placeholders, access-only Codex `auth.json`). Each
rule is replaced by the current contract's exact expectation; none is relaxed. EGR-01, EGR-02,
SKL-16 and SEC-JOB-LOG-01 are corrected in place in their own sections below.
- [ ] CTR-07 (Claude + Codex, container backend, proxy mode): list `/home/management` (the channel's
own workdir/artifact mount skeleton only), `~/.channelgate` and `/run/channelgate` including
`/run/channelgate/egress`. Pass: under `~/.channelgate` only the path to the channel's OWN clean
workspace (`clean-workspaces/<platform>/<slug>`, an identical-path mount) — no `config/`,
`gateway.db`, `run/`, `eg/` or logs; no other channel's folders; no operator `~/.claude` or
`~/.codex`; `/run/channelgate` holds exactly `mcp.sock`, `egress-ca.pem` and `egress/`, and
`egress/` holds only `egress.sock` (`src/runtimes/container/image-paths.js`). Anything else
there is foreign.
- [ ] CTR-30 prompt path: the cross-channel read in steps 1–3 targets a channel that is neither
admin fixture (`~/ChannelGate/slack/cg-qa-read/MEMORY.md`); `cg-qa-admin` is the Claude admin
fixture's own folder and proves nothing cross-channel. The pass rule, including step 3's
refused non-admin write, is unchanged.
- [ ] EN-01 (Read fixtures): effort is not a footer or `run_config` field. With no channel or thread
effort set, the footer shows no effort segment, `run_config` has no effort, the turn's
runtime preamble carries `configured_effort: null`, and the reply must call the effort the
engine default / not exposed — naming a level is a FAIL. With an explicit channel effort the
reply names exactly that level (compare with the channel setting). Engine and model must match
the footer, `run_config` and the usage row. On Claude in Read mode the `pwd` / `node --version`
probe raises a Bash approval card that must be approved for the probe output to appear; on
Codex it runs in the read-only sandbox (working since the setpriv capability fix on beta).
- [ ] ENG-03 mirrored: on the Claude-default Read fixture pin the thread to Codex; on the
Codex-default Read fixture pin it to Claude. Pass: both turns use the pinned engine and a new
root thread in the same channel still uses the channel default.
- [ ] CTR-10: runs only on an Admin fixture with an admin author or an Auto fixture — background
shell jobs need Auto or an admin author in admin mode (`src/gateway/background.js`), so a
Bash-mode fixture can never produce `bg_start`/`bg_finish`. Evidence rule unchanged.
- [ ] CLI-02 / CLI-05 (proxy mode): the per-channel `SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN` / `VERCEL_TOKEN` is a
`cgph_c…` placeholder swapped only on `api.supabase.com`/`supabase.com` /
`api.vercel.com`/`vercel.com`, so the authenticated half needs *Allow network* ON. Pass: the
version and the authenticated listing (CLI-05: identity is the channel token's user, no
host-wide identity) succeed without revealing credentials, with an `egress` row on the API host
carrying `swapped: [{secretName: "<name>", scope: "channel"}]`. Network-off expectation
(fixture switch OFF, not mutated): the version succeeds, the authenticated call is refused
`403 network-off` (an `egress` row with `blocked: "network-off"`) and the reply says so
without asking for or printing a token; this does not satisfy the authenticated half.
- [ ] CLI-08 (proxy mode; the retired "advisory, no egress proxy yet" note no longer applies):
*Allow network* ON → `https://registry.npmjs.org/` and `https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace`
both answer 200 through the proxy. Network-off expectation (fixture switch OFF): both are
refused by the proxy with `403 network-off` (curl: `CONNECT tunnel failed, response 403`), one
`egress` row each with `blocked: "network-off"`, and the reply reports the refusal, not success.
- [ ] SEC-06: the two canaries are CHANNEL-scope secrets with distinct real values, each ruled for the
prepared provider host (a catalog name or explicit *Used on hosts*), so each container holds its
own distinct `cgph_c…` placeholder. An organization secret is one grant whose placeholder every
channel shares by design (`src/gateway/egress/grants.js`) and cannot serve as a per-channel
canary. The canary is the REAL value, which exists only daemon-side: pass requires each
channel's authenticated read to act as its own secret (an `egress` row with
`swapped: [{…, scope: "channel"}]` for that channel) and neither real value in any container
env, reply, stream, log, job or the other channel.
## Egress QA campaign fixes (2026-09-27, beta `a1845f2` findings EGR-03, RELAY-01, audit noise, CTR-20 text, SEC-LIST-01)
Fixtures: the scratch runtime root of `test/helpers.js`, temp artifact dirs with `utimes`-aged
files and symlinks, the fake container CLI (`test/container-fake-cli.js`), the real egress service
with its sockets, and the `test/fixtures/codex` stub.
### Regression
- [x] Chromium flags (`test/browser-env.test.js`, `test/container-egress-env.test.js`,
`test/ssh-access.test.js`, `test/ssh-session.test.js`, engine-independent):
`AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS` is `--proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:3128,--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<hash>`,
`BROWSER_ARGS_SEPARATOR` is `,`, the value has no whitespace, splitting it on `/[,\n]/` (what
agent-browser 0.36.0 does) yields exactly those two flags with a `+`/`/`/`=` hash intact, and it
round-trips through the SSH `SetEnv` line and session env file.
- [x] Stale per-run credential files (`test/container-lifecycle.test.js`, engine-independent): files
older than six hours named `cg-mcp-*.json`, `cg-mcp-review-*.json`, `run/cg-codex-secrets-*.json`
and `…-<server>.headers.cjs` are removed; minutes-old ones, other names, a symlink named like a
target (and its outside target) and a symlinked `run/` are untouched; `ensureUp` on a missing
container sweeps before the create and logs `[container] swept 2 stale per-run credential
file(s) from stale-run-create` once; `bootReconcile` sweeps a container that was already running.
- [x] Audit policy (`test/egress-service.test.js`, `test/egress-rules.test.js`, engine-independent):
a canUse refusal carries its grant's `scope`; `recordAudit` of a request whose only refusals are
`channel-idle` on `relay` grants (Claude or Codex relay) raises `requests` and `refused` in
`egressStatus()` but writes no `egress` row; a relay refused for another reason, a channel
grant refused `channel-idle` (alone or beside an idle relay), an unknown placeholder, a scopeless
refusal, a block, a non-relay swap and a tunnel each still write exactly one row.
- [x] Node proxy warning (`test/codex-auth.test.js`, `test/container-egress-env.test.js`): a
proxy-mode `buildCodexEnv` sets `NODE_OPTIONS=--disable-warning=UNDICI-EHPA` over a channel
secret and a host value of that name, a non-proxy target sets none; `codexDiagnosticLine` of the
warning plus its hint is empty; the stub printing them before `Killed` / exit 137 fails with
"forcibly stopped … Killed" and no `UNDICI-EHPA`/`EnvHttpProxyAgent`/`trace-warnings` in the
message or any `engine_note`, while `details.stderr` still holds the warning.
- [x] Claude telemetry off behind the proxy (`test/container-egress-env.test.js`): a proxy-mode
`buildClaudeEnv` sets `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` over a channel secret of that name (reserved) and
never sets `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC`; a non-proxy target sets neither.
- [x] Codex telemetry off everywhere (`test/codex-args.test.js`, `test/codex-token-relay.test.js`,
`test/mcp-discovery.test.js`, `test/model-discovery.test.js`): every turn's argv (fresh, resume,
bypass, clean) carries `-c analytics.enabled=false`; an SSH session's `codex-args.sh`
overrides include it; the relay refresh turn carries it; MCP discovery spawns exactly
`-c analytics.enabled=false app-server` and model discovery `-c analytics.enabled=false debug
models`. The fake engines (`test/fixtures/codex`, `prompt-echo/codex`,
`output-secret-engine.cjs`) skip leading global `-c` pairs like the real CLI.
- [x] Scope lines (`test/channel-credentials.test.js`, SEC-LIST-01): an organization-only run gets
exactly the `Organization-wide variables …: ["GITHUB_PAT_ORG","VERCEL_ORG_TOKEN"].` line and no
empty group; a personal-only run gets the personal line; organization + channel gets both; a
channel-only run (explicit or no scope facts) gets no scope line.
### Live gates (Claude AND Codex) — UNEXECUTED
- [ ] EGR-03 re-run after a daemon restart on this branch: in a proxy-mode channel with *Allow
network* on, ask each engine to `agent-browser open https://example.com` and snapshot the page.
Pass: the page title is returned, no `ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED`.
- [ ] RELAY-01 re-run: `touch -d '2 days ago'` a `cg-mcp-test.json` in the channel's artifact dir, let
the idle reaper stop the container, then send a turn. Pass: the file is gone, the daemon log has
the `swept 1 stale per-run credential file(s)` line, a fresh turn still answers with its tools.
- [ ] Audit noise: leave a warm Claude channel idle 10 minutes. Pass: no new `egress` rows with
`channel-idle` for `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`; `/api/health` → `containerRuntime.egress` counters
still rise.
- [ ] Codex text: a Codex turn in a proxy-mode channel. Pass: no `[UNDICI-EHPA]` in the status row,
and a stopped turn's failure sentence names no Node warning.
- [ ] SEC-LIST-01 re-run: in a channel whose only injected secrets are organization-wide, ask each
engine "which of your credentials are channel secrets and which are organization secrets?".
Pass: both name them organization secrets, none "a channel credential".
- [ ] Claude telemetry (Claude only): `podman exec <container> sh -c 'cat /proc/<warm pid>/environ | tr "\0" "\n" | grep -E "NONESSENTIAL|DISABLE_TELEMETRY"'`
shows only `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1`; the idle audit gate above then also shows the `requests` counter flat while idle.
- [ ] Codex telemetry (Codex only): during a Codex turn, `podman exec <container> sh -c 'cat /proc/<codex pid>/cmdline | tr "\0" " "'`
contains `-c analytics.enabled=false`; after the turn the channel's egress audit shows no request to
`ab.chatgpt.com`. Pass: both hold for a fresh and a resumed turn.
## Codex login relay, strict secrets, static check (container-secrets P4)
Fixtures: the scratch runtime root of `test/helpers.js` (real `egress_grants` rows, a real
`settings.json`), synthetic ChatGPT `auth.json` files built at runtime (JWTs whose header, claims and
`real-signature-*` segment are generated in the test; refresh token `rt-real-refresh-*`), the fake
container CLI recorder (`test/container-fake-cli.js`), the fake runtime backends
(`test/runtime-fake.js`, `test/fixtures/fake-runtime-backend.js`) with an injected `writeHomeFile`,
a fake egress provider for an ACTIVE plan, and a fake `spawn` for the refresh turn. No podman on the
development host: the live gates at the end are UNEXECUTED.
### Spike (required before the design; executed 2026-09-26, this host, codex-cli 0.156.1, network on)
Safety: scratch `CODEX_HOME`s `/tmp/cg-spike/codex-{a,b,c}` (umask 077) seeded with ONLY the
operator's current access token, id_token and account id copied from the read-only
`~/.codex/auth.json`, `refresh_token: ""`; all deleted afterwards; the operator's file was never
written (mtime still 2026-09-25 07:03:42). No token value was printed.
- Operator file facts: access-token claims `aud, client_id, https://api.openai.com/auth,
https://api.openai.com/mfa, https://api.openai.com/profile, iss, pwd_auth_time, scp, session_id,
sl, sub, iat, exp, jti, nbf`; `iat` 2026-09-25T04:03:42Z, `exp` 2026-10-05T04:03:42Z (240 h);
the id_token lives 1 h (already expired — the CLI does not care); `last_refresh` = `iat`.
- (a) PASS — access-only file, `last_refresh` = now: `codex exec --skip-git-repo-check --ephemeral
--ignore-user-config -m gpt-5.6-luna -c model_reasoning_effort="low" -s read-only "Reply with
exactly OK" </dev/null` → exit 0, answer `OK` (1,571 tokens); `codex login status` → `Logged in
using ChatGPT`, exit 0; the file unchanged. (Without `</dev/null`, `codex exec` blocks on
`Reading additional input from stdin...`.)
- (b) NO REFRESH ON AGE — same file with `last_refresh` 2026-09-10 (16 days), `RUST_LOG=debug`:
exit 0 `OK`; no connection to `auth.openai.com` at all (connections: `chatgpt.com` ×12,
`ab.chatgpt.com` ×1, three `*.oaiusercontent.com` file downloads), `permanent_refresh_failure:
None`, the file unchanged. 0.156.1 does not refresh a valid access token because of
`last_refresh` age.
- (c) PLACEHOLDER JWT — access token = the real header + payload + `cgph_r` + 32 base32 as the
signature, id_token = real header + payload + a non-signature: `codex login status` → `Logged in
using ChatGPT`, exit 0 (local parsing passes). Unproxied turn → exit 1: `workspace routing
discovery unauthorized (401)`, `Falling back from WebSockets to HTTPS transport`, then six
`Failed to refresh token status=400 Bad Request … error_code: Some("empty_string") … Invalid
'refresh_token': empty string` and `Reconnecting... 1/5 … 5/5` — a placeholder is worthless
unswapped and an empty refresh token rotates nothing (that stderr line is classified
`authentication` by `classifyCodexLiveStderr`). Through this branch's egress proxy
(`createEgressProxy` on 127.0.0.1, one grant with format `jwt`, `HTTPS_PROXY` +
`SSL_CERT_FILE`/`CODEX_CA_CERTIFICATE` = system roots + a scratch egress CA) → exit 0 `OK`; the
audit shows 23 `chatgpt.com` requests with `swapped: ["CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN"]`, among them
`GET /backend-api/codex/responses` → 101 (the WebSocket turn), `/backend-api/codex/models`,
`/backend-api/wham/accounts/check`, `/backend-api/ps/plugins/*`, `/backend-api/ps/mcp`;
`ab.chatgpt.com/otlp/v1/metrics` and two `*.oaiusercontent.com` downloads carried no placeholder;
no `auth.openai.com` request; the file still held the placeholder afterwards.
- Consequence: the design stands (no fallback to the bind mount). Open observation for the live
gates: `ab.chatgpt.com` and `*.oaiusercontent.com` are not in `ENGINE_HOSTS.codex`, so with *Allow
network* OFF those calls are refused — the gate below checks the turn still answers.
### Regression
- [x] JWT placeholder and `jwt` swap (`test/codex-token-relay.test.js`): the shaped token keeps the
real header and claims, its signature IS the core, the real signature is gone;
`corePlaceholder`/`findPlaceholders`/`placeholdersInRequest` find the core inside `Bearer
<jwt>`; a non-JWT or a non-object header is refused. A `jwt` grant replaces the WHOLE token on
`chatgpt.com`, `api.openai.com` and `auth.openai.com` (the scrub map maps the live token back
to the whole placeholder), leaves it unchanged on another host (`host`) or another header; a
bare placeholder is refused by the jwt grant (`format`) and the JWT one by a bearer grant —
never a partial swap. `CODEX_RELAY_RULE` is jwt-only, Authorization-only, equal to
`ENGINE_HOSTS.codex`; `relayRuleFor` knows only the two relays.
- [x] The daemon's login (`test/codex-token-relay.test.js`): `resolveCodexLogin` → `chatgpt` /
`api-key` / `none` over the candidate list; `readDaemonCodexAccessToken` returns expiry,
account and plan and never the refresh token; a token inside 48 h triggers ONE refresh for two
concurrent callers and both get the renewed token; a fresh token none; a refresh the CLI
declines is not retried for 6 h (then retried); an expired, unrenewed token → no token and a
`codex login` remedy. The refresh turn is `codex exec --ephemeral --ignore-user-config
--skip-git-repo-check -s read-only -m gpt-5.6-luna`, `CODEX_HOME` = the login's own dir, stdin
closed, cwd not the login dir. The container file has the placeholder token, the id_token's
claims with `CODEX_ID_TOKEN_SIGNATURE`, `refresh_token: ""`, `last_refresh` = now.
- [x] The grant (`test/codex-token-relay.test.js`): `containerCodexCredential` binds a per-channel
placeholder (`codexRelayPlaceholderFor`), different per channel, whose grant resolves to the
LIVE token with format `jwt` on the Codex hosts; the container file carries no real signature
and an empty refresh token; no egress → an error, no relay → the error, never a real token.
- [x] Modes and mounts (`test/container-credentials.test.js`): egress active + ChatGPT login →
`relay`, `codexAuthFile: ""`; bridge → `shared-file` with the mount; an API-key login →
`shared-file` even behind the proxy; `credentialError` in relay mode needs a relayable login
NOW (signed out → the `codex login` remedy); the notes say relay, not shared; `ensureUp`
under an active plan (fake provider) settles `relay`, mounts no `codex-auth` and the create
argv names no `auth.json`. `writeHomeFile` refuses a path outside HOME (and `..`), refuses a
mounted destination (`/proc/self/mountinfo` guard), stages 0600, `cp`s to `<file>.cg-tmp`,
`mv -f`s into place (never `cp` onto the destination) and removes the staging copy.
- [x] The runner (`test/codex-auth.test.js`): in relay mode the file is written through
`writeHomeFile` to `/home/agent/.codex/auth.json` BEFORE the spawn; a missing relay fails the
turn pre-spawn as a replay-safe `authentication` failure (no spawn).
`installRelayedCodexLogin` refuses while a `codex-auth` mount is still on the target and
without `writeHomeFile` (`test/codex-token-relay.test.js`).
- [x] SSH (`test/ssh-session.test.js`): a relay-mode session places the login first (Codex ready);
a failure to place it makes `codex.ready` false with the reason while Claude is unaffected;
shared-file mode writes nothing.
- [x] `cg-init` (`test/container-image.test.js`): the Codex block, re-pointed at a scratch file,
leaves a refresh-token file alone outside proxy mode, removes it under `CG_EGRESS=proxy`, and
keeps the daemon's access-only file.
- [x] Strict default (`test/egress-run.test.js`, `test/secrets-tool.test.js`): a pinned-off install
keeps `RAW_THING` raw and flagged (Claude and Codex); strict withholds it — absent from the
env, named in the "Withheld by the gateway's strict egress setting" line — while a ruled
secret stays its placeholder; `pinEgressSecretsStrictDefault` stores `false` for a configured
install, `true` for a new one and never touches a stored value. `list_secrets` ends with a
**Finding** line naming the unruled secrets (not the ruled `GITHUB_TOKEN`) as WITHHELD under
strict / injected RAW when off, and none when every secret is ruled.
- [x] Static rule (`test/static-secret-writes.test.js`, `npm run check:static`): a fixture writing
`composioUserToken` through two derived names, `relay.token` under `sshUserDir(...)` and
`resolvedRunEnv` via `writePrivate` → three findings with file:line; another path, a
non-secret content and a marked reviewed exception → none; the repository's `src/` → none.
- [x] Retired helper (`test/container-credentials.test.js`): `helperCommand(t, "mcp-remote")` is an
unknown helper; every remaining helper resolves inside the image.
### Live gates — all UNEXECUTED
Common setup: this branch deployed, `npm run build:image` (spec 1.6.0; `cg-init` changed), the host
signed in with `codex login` (ChatGPT), Settings → Container runtime with *Legacy open network* OFF,
a Slack test channel `p4-codex` on engine Codex with *Allow network* OFF, and a second channel
`p4-other`. Note before starting: `stat -c '%y' ~/.codex/auth.json` and
`jq -r '.tokens.access_token|split(".")[1]|@base64d|fromjson|.exp' ~/.codex/auth.json`.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — no real login in the container. Send "reply with the word pong" in
`p4-codex`. Evidence: the reply `pong`; `podman inspect <container> --format '{{range
.Mounts}}{{.Destination}} {{end}}'` lists no `/home/agent/.codex/auth.json`; `podman exec
<container> sh -c "jq '{r: .tokens.refresh_token, s: (.tokens.access_token|split(\".\")[2][0:6])}'
/home/agent/.codex/auth.json"` → `{"r": "", "s": "cgph_r"}`; `/api/health` →
`containerRuntime.egress` counters show swaps for the channel; the host file's mtime and `exp`
unchanged by the turn. Pass: all four.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — network OFF still answers. Same channel, *Allow network* OFF (the
default): a two-turn conversation ("remember 7", then "what number?"). Evidence: both answer;
`egress` events may show `ab.chatgpt.com` / `*.oaiusercontent.com` blocked
(`network-off`) — record which. Pass: both turns answer; if either fails, the blocked host is
the finding (add it to `ENGINE_HOSTS.codex`).
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — an existing container is recreated once. On a channel created BEFORE
this deploy: note `podman inspect -f '{{.Id}}' <container>`, run a Codex turn. Evidence: the
container ID changed exactly once (a second turn keeps it), and the file inside is the
access-only one. Pass: both.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — the placeholder is worthless elsewhere. From `p4-other`'s container:
`podman exec <p4-other> sh -c 'curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" -H "Authorization:
Bearer <p4-codex placeholder JWT from the first gate>" https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models'`
→ 403 (`secret-refused`, reason `other-channel`, audited); the same `curl` from the HOST (no
proxy) → 401. Pass: neither succeeds.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — the refresh. When the host token is inside 48 h of `exp` (or on a scratch
install signed in 8+ days earlier), send a Codex turn. Evidence: the daemon log shows the
refresh turn (or its `[codex-relay] host refresh turn exited …` warning), and either the host
file's `exp` moved forward, or it did not and no second refresh turn runs within 6 h while
turns keep answering; after the real `exp` passes, the next turn refreshes (host `exp` moves)
and answers. Pass: turns never fail because the relay went stale.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — SSH before the first turn. On a new relay channel with SSH granted:
`ssh <channel>`, then `codex exec "reply pong" </dev/null`. Evidence: `pong`; `jq -r
.tokens.refresh_token ~/.codex/auth.json` is empty. Pass: both.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Codex) — the legacy bridge keeps the documented exposure. Turn *Legacy open
network* ON, send a Codex turn. Evidence: the container is recreated with the
`/home/agent/.codex/auth.json` file mount again and the turn answers; turn it OFF again →
recreated without it. Pass: both directions.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — a pre-relay leftover is removed. `podman exec <container>
sh -c 'printf "{\"tokens\":{\"refresh_token\":\"x\"}}" > /home/agent/.codex/auth.json'`, then
`podman restart <container>`: the file is gone. Pass: gone.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Claude AND Codex) — strict default. On a FRESH install (empty runtime root): the
Settings page shows *Withhold readable variables* checked; add channel secret `RAW_THING`
(no hosts) and ask each engine "is RAW_THING set? answer yes or no, never print it" → "no";
`list_secrets` ends with `**Finding:** 1 secret has no egress rule — \`RAW_THING\`: WITHHELD
…`. On an UPGRADED install (a pre-P4 runtime root): the box is unchecked after the first boot,
`RAW_THING` is set in the run, and the finding says RAW. Pass: all.
## SSH and VS Code sessions on placeholders (container-secrets P3)
Fixtures: the scratch runtime root of `test/helpers.js` (real `egress_grants` rows, real org /
channel / personal secret stores), the fake runtime backend (`test/fixtures/fake-runtime-backend.js`)
with an ACTIVE egress plan on the target (`socketDir`, `caBundle`, `caSpki: "c3BraQ=="`), a fake
container CLI recorder for every `exec`, the real `installVscodeClaudeRelay` with an injected relay
(`sk-ant-oat01-test-access-token`, plan facts `max` / `default_claude_max_20x`), the egress service's
real sockets and TLS (`test/egress-service.test.js`), the real SSH broker on a short `/tmp/cgssh-*`
attach dir (`test/ssh-broker.test.js`) and a fake forwarder/proxy on `127.0.0.1:0`. Token fixtures
are synthetic (`*_real_value_ssh_p3_*`, `b-personal-real-value-*`). No podman on the development
host: the live gates at the end are UNEXECUTED.
- [x] Session on placeholders (`test/ssh-session.test.js`): with an active plan the session `env`
holds `cgph_c…` / `cgph_o…` / `cgph_p…` for the channel, organization and personal secrets
(the personal grant owned by THIS developer in THIS channel), the unruled `RAW_THING` raw;
`result.secrets` is `{ name, scope, protected }` and `result.egress` lists the unprotected
name; sourcing the file under a hostile `HTTPS_PROXY` / `ALL_PROXY` yields the proxy URL, no
`ALL_PROXY`, the CA bundle, `CG_EGRESS=proxy`, the Chromium args and the exact
`GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, with the proxy block before the secrets; the `.credentials.json` written
into the container holds `sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r…` (a relay grant) with the REAL expiry,
scopes, subscription and tier; `<artifacts>/vscode/claude-token` holds the same placeholder;
NO file under `ssh/users/<id>/` (Codex's `codex-args.sh` and `codex-secrets.json` included),
the token file or the login input carries a real protected value or the real relay token, and
the raw value appears only in `env`; `session.md` names the proxy, the CA path, placeholders,
`printenv`, `another-person-ssh-session`, the ProxyCommand, "cannot add an SSH key" and the
unprotected name — never a value or a placeholder; release removes the developer's dir and,
with the channel's last session only, the token file (also when the container is gone).
Strict mode: the unruled name is withheld, every injected name protected, and none of the
resolver's `realValues` is anywhere. Another developer attached (liveness seam): the
session's `personalPaused` is true and the note says PAUSED; the developer's own session
alone does not pause. Without a plan: the resolver is called with this channel, this
developer, `untrustedPrincipal: false` and the target; secrets are listed unprotected and the
note has no proxy paragraph; `renderSessionEnvFile` keeps its exact legacy output and, with
an egress map, leads with the comment, `unset ALL_PROXY all_proxy` and the proxy exports,
which win over a same-named entry.
- [x] sshd `SetEnv` (`test/ssh-access.test.js`): an active plan puts every `egressEnv(target)` name
(over a stale create-time `HTTPS_PROXY`), `AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS` and `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` into the
ONE `SetEnv` line and drops `ALL_PROXY`/`all_proxy`; `sessionEgressEnv` is exactly that map;
an inactive plan adds nothing and leaves the container's env as it was.
- [x] Liveness reads the broker (`test/ssh-broker.test.js`): during a real brokered session the
developer is live (already inside `prepareSession`), the channel is live work,
`otherSshOpen(channel, someone else)` is true and false for the developer and for another
channel; the hang-up ends all of it.
- [x] Personal pause end to end (`test/egress-service.test.js`): developer A attached, author B's
turn live with B's personal placeholder → `resolveEgressRunEnv` says `personalPaused`, the
credential preamble names `B_PERSONAL_KEY` as PAUSED, the proxy answers `403
secret-refused` naming `another-person-ssh-session` without reaching the upstream (audited
as refused), the channel's own placeholder still swaps; once A leaves the same placeholder
swaps to the real value on the next request. An operator's editor lease on the channel's
container wakes relay and channel grants (`canUseGrant`), not a personal one, not another
container's, and ends with the lease.
- [x] Resolver and preamble (`test/egress-grants.test.js`, `test/channel-credentials.test.js`):
`personalPaused` only for an author WITH personal placeholders while another person's
session is open (the owner's own session does not pause; the default reads the real liveness
module); `clean` and inactive answers carry `personalPaused: false`; the pause line names
only the personal placeholders and appears only when paused.
- [x] `cg-egress-connect` (`test/egress-connect.test.js`, `test/container-image.test.js`): exact
`CONNECT github.com:22 HTTP/1.1` + `Host`; bytes that ride with the 200 reach stdout; stdin →
tunnel → stdout; the client's EOF half-closes and the server's last bytes still arrive; a
tunnel closed by the far side ends the helper while stdin stays open; a 403 is one stderr line
`… refused example.com:22 (403 Forbidden) — network-off: …`, exit 1, empty stdout; an
unreachable forwarder exit 1 naming `ECONNREFUSED`; a missing port exit 2 with usage; IPv6
authorities are bracketed and header-injection / option-shaped hosts refused; node built-ins
only; `build-image.mjs` stages it as `bin/cg-egress-connect.mjs`; the shim is executable,
POSIX sh and `exec`s it.
### Live gates (Claude AND Codex unless marked) — all UNEXECUTED
Common setup: this branch deployed, `npm run build:image` (spec 1.6.0), SSH access installed
(`scripts/install-ssh-access.sh`), Settings → Container runtime with *Legacy open network* OFF, a
Slack test channel with *Allow network* ON, channel secrets `GITHUB_TOKEN` (fine-grained PAT with
read access to one private repo) and `VERCEL_TOKEN`, a personal secret of developer A with *Used on
hosts* = `api.github.com` (`A_GH_TOKEN`, a second PAT), SSH granted to developers A and B, and a
throwaway GitHub deploy key (read-only on the private repo) whose private half A copies into the
session's `~/.ssh/cg-deploy`. Record `podman inspect <c> --format '{{.HostConfig.NetworkMode}}'`
(`none`).
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — placeholders only. A: `ssh <channel>` then
`printenv | grep -E '^(GITHUB_TOKEN|VERCEL_TOKEN|A_GH_TOKEN)='` and `printenv | grep cgph_`.
Evidence: each of the three values starts `cgph_` (`c`, `c`, `p`), `grep cgph_` shows only
placeholders, `printenv HTTPS_PROXY` is `http://127.0.0.1:3128`, `printenv ALL_PROXY` is
empty, `grep -r "<the real PAT>" <artifacts>/<platform>/<slug>/ssh <artifacts>/<platform>/<slug>/vscode`
on the HOST finds nothing, `jq -r .claudeAiOauth.accessToken /home/agent/.claude/.credentials.json`
starts `sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r`. Pass: no real value anywhere in the session or its files.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED — `vercel whoami` and `gh api user` with placeholders. In A's session run both,
then start `claude` and `codex` in the channel folder and ask each "run gh api user and tell
me the login". Evidence: `vercel whoami` prints the token's user; `gh api user` returns the
PAT's login; both engines answer with it; the `egress` events show
`swapped: [{secretName: "GITHUB_TOKEN"}]` / `VERCEL_TOKEN` rows for this channel. Pass: all
succeed and no real token appears in the terminal or any reply.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — `git clone git@github.com:…` through the helper. In A's
session: `GIT_SSH_COMMAND="$GIT_SSH_COMMAND -i ~/.ssh/cg-deploy" git clone
git@github.com:<org>/<private repo>.git /tmp/p3-clone` (accept GitHub's host key when asked).
Evidence: the clone completes; an `egress` event with `tunnel: true`, host `github.com`,
port 22. Then switch *Allow network* OFF and repeat into another folder: it fails with
`cg-egress-connect: the gateway's egress proxy refused github.com:22 (403 Forbidden) —
network-off: …`. Pass: both observations; delete the deploy key at GitHub afterwards.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — the personal pause. Network ON. With only A attached, in
A's session `curl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' -H "Authorization: Bearer $A_GH_TOKEN"
https://api.github.com/user` → `200`. Now B attaches (`ssh <channel>` from B's laptop) and A
repeats → `403`, body names `A_GH_TOKEN` and `another-person-ssh-session`; the same call with
`$GITHUB_TOKEN` still `200`. Meanwhile A sends a Slack message in the channel "print the
credential note's paused line": the reply quotes "Personal secrets are PAUSED". B
disconnects; A's call → `200` again. Pass: all four observations.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — forwards under `--network none`. From a laptop:
`ssh -L 5433:<some public postgres host>:5432 <channel>` then `psql -h localhost -p 5433`
→ the forward fails (the session's sshd logs a connect failure); `python3 -m http.server
3000` in the session plus `ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 <channel>` → `curl localhost:3000`
on the laptop works; `ssh -R 9000:localhost:22 <channel>` then `nc -z localhost 9000` in the
session → open. Pass: external `-L` fails, container-local `-L` and `-R` work.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — VS Code Remote-SSH, an unlisted client version. Use a VS
Code client whose commit is NOT in `containers/versions.json` → `vscodeServers`, connect with
Remote-SSH (network ON): the server installs (its `curl` through the proxy — `egress` shows
`update.code.visualstudio.com`), the integrated terminal's `printenv HTTPS_PROXY` is the
proxy and `claude` there opens signed in as the plan's account. Network OFF, a fresh HOME
volume, client setting `"remote.SSH.localServerDownload": "always"` → the install still
succeeds. After closing every session: `ls <artifacts>/<platform>/<slug>/vscode/` on the host
is empty. Pass: all three observations.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — the operator's `npm run vscode`. With no SSH session and
no turn: `npm run vscode -- <channel>`, in its terminal run `claude -p "reply pong"` → it
answers (the editor lease keeps the relay placeholder live); `cat
<artifacts>/<platform>/<slug>/vscode/claude-token` on the host starts `sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r`;
close the window → the file is gone. Pass: all three.
## Egress proxy, placeholders and `--network none` (container-secrets P2)
Fixtures: real sockets and real TLS on 127.0.0.1 — an https upstream whose leaf chains to a
throwaway "public root" the proxy is told to trust (`upstreamCa`), fake hostnames (`upstream.test`,
`api.anthropic.com`, …) resolved by an injected lookup, and the TEST-ONLY `allowLoopbackHosts` that
lets exactly those names reach loopback (production refuses loopback outright); unix listeners in
SHORT `/tmp/cgeg-*` / `/tmp/cgfw-*` dirs; the scratch runtime root of `test/helpers.js` for the
database; the fake container CLI (`test/container-fake-cli.js`) and the fake runtime backends
(`test/runtime-fake.js` with an `egress` plan, `test/fixtures/fake-runtime-backend.js`); a fake
egress provider registered through `src/runtimes/container/egress-hook.js` where the container
side is tested alone. Token fixtures are synthetic (`ghp_*_value_*`, `real-*-value-*`); no podman
exists on the development host, so every container-side fact below is pinned over the fake CLI and
the live gates at the end are UNEXECUTED.
### The proxy core (engine-independent: transport code, no engine in the loop)
- [x] CA and leaves (`test/egress-ca.test.js`): a CA and its per-host ECDSA leaves parse, chain and
match their host; a client trusting only the CA completes a verified TLS handshake; `openssl`
verifies the chain and decodes the extensions (skipped where openssl is absent); the store
writes `ca.key` 0600, `ca.pem` 0644 in a 0700 dir once and reuses them; `leafFor` mints per
host, caches in an LRU, re-mints an hour before expiry and refuses invalid names.
- [x] Destination policy (`test/egress-policy.test.js`): the metadata address is refused by name
and as a literal; private, loopback, ULA, mixed public+private answers and IPv4-mapped forms
are refused; a public destination is allowed with its address pinned; mode off admits only
engine hosts; an allowlist narrows mode on; a raw tunnel only for its exact host:port and
only when on; invalid names/ports, DNS failures.
- [x] Swap rules (`test/egress-rules.test.js`): placeholder format, scope letters, the
`sk-ant-oat01-` shape and detection; exact and one-level wildcard hosts that never match the
apex; bearer, raw, basic-password (decode → swap → re-encode); another host, header or
position leaves the placeholder unchanged and reports why; a `canUse` refusal leaves the header
alone; malformed Basic never throws; never a partial swap, never a header-breaking value,
never across a Host-header mismatch; plain http only for an opted-in grant; query parameters
only when the grant lists them.
- [x] Response scrub (`test/egress-scrub.test.js`): a value split across chunks is still replaced;
only a possible prefix is held back; longest value wins; multibyte survives; short values and
binary/unknown types pass through.
- [x] End to end (`test/egress-proxy.test.js`): the upstream sees the REAL value while the client
sent the placeholder; a shaped relay token swaps whole and a streamed body goes through; a
non-declared host receives the placeholder unchanged; an echoed value comes back scrubbed
(compressed bodies untouched); a `canUse` refusal is 403 naming the secret and never reaches
the upstream; refused destinations are 403 with a category; an unreachable upstream is 502;
plain http forwarding; a raw tunnel; a WebSocket upgrade swapped then piped; a 431 for an
oversized head; audit events never carry a header value, placeholder or real value; `close()`
leaves nothing open.
### The integration
- [x] Grants (`test/egress-grants.test.js`): the catalog rules GitHub/Vercel/Supabase/Make/Composio
names and leaves `GH_REPO`, `GITHUB_REPOSITORY`, `VERCEL_ORG_ID`, `SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD`,
OpenAI/Anthropic names unruled; an entry's own `hosts` win, its `headers`/`format` refine; bad
declarations (an IP, a two-level wildcard, 17 hosts, `host` as a header, 9 headers, an unknown
format) are refused; a stored rule survives a value rotation and is cleared only by an explicit
empty list. One stable placeholder per key; another channel → another placeholder; the
organization's shared by every channel; personal per channel AND author; the table has no value
column (migration 30 and both indexes present). Revoke kills a placeholder; re-adding mints a
new one. `resolveEgressRunEnv`: inactive → exactly the real resolve, clean → empty, no target →
real values; active → ruled names are `cgph_[ocp]…` placeholders of the right scope, the unruled
`SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD` is raw and listed `unprotected`, `realValues` holds all five real values,
placeholders are stable across runs, another author shares the org/channel ones but not
Alice's, the HTTP run API (untrusted) gets no personal one; strict mode withholds the unruled
name (still redacted). The resolver returns the CURRENT value (rotation), and a removed secret
is revoked by the resolver itself and by the next run's reconcile. The Claude relay: a shaped
`sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r…` per channel, keeping source/expiry, the real relay when inactive or
API-key-only; the relay grant resolves the live token with the 60 s cache.
- [x] Service (`test/egress-service.test.js`): boot writes the trust bundle (system roots first, then
the CA; 0644) and rewrites it IN PLACE (same inode) when the system roots change; container
targets carry an active plan with the CA's SPKI hash; one listener per channel under
`<root>/<12 hex>/egress.sock` (≤ 107 bytes, dir 0700, socket 0600), idempotent, whose ctx is
that channel. Through the socket with real TLS against the written bundle: no live work → 403
`secret-refused` naming `MY_API_KEY`/`channel-idle`, one `egress` event with no value and no
placeholder in it; a live turn → the upstream sees the real value and one `swapped` event; a
request with no placeholder → counted, no event; the same placeholder from ANOTHER channel's
socket → `other-channel`. The policy reads CURRENT meta: switch off → CONNECT refused
`network-off` and audited `blocked`; the engine hosts and a noted remote-MCP host stay in the
off policy; `github.com:22` is always a raw tunnel; switched on → the very next request passes.
`canUseGrant`: channel/org need live work in that channel; personal needs its owner live, and
is refused while another person's SSH session is open (the owner's own session is fine); an
SSH session alone is live work. The config-change listener revokes a removed secret's
placeholder. Service down: `egressError` names the remedy, the container backend's
`credentialError` fails the run, `ensureChannelEgress` refuses, the legacy bridge mode never
asks, and a fresh target keeps `--network none`. A CA that cannot load: one warning line, the
boot continues, runs fail closed.
- [x] Container side (`test/container-cli.test.js`, `test/container-lifecycle.test.js`,
`test/container-credentials.test.js`): `--network none` for network on AND off; `bridge` only
under `egressMode: "bridge"` or `meta.rawNetwork`; with the provider registered the mounts
include `egress` (bind, ro, the channel's socket dir — never under the shared control-socket
dir) and `egress-ca` (bind-file, ro) and both fingerprints move with them; the create argv
carries both `-v …:ro` and the proxy env; `ensureUp` binds the listener before creating, never
creates the CA file source as a directory, and fails closed (nothing created) when the
listener cannot bind or the service is down; the network switch does not move the
fingerprint, `rawNetwork` does; `prepareTarget` stays pure with an inactive plan when no
service is registered.
- [x] Environment (`test/container-egress-env.test.js`, `test/browser-env.test.js`): `egressEnv` is
`{}` unless active, then `HTTP(S)_PROXY`+lowercase = `http://127.0.0.1:3128`, `NO_PROXY`
loopback only, `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1`, the ten CA variables = `/run/channelgate/egress-ca.pem`,
`CG_EGRESS=proxy`, no `ALL_PROXY`; every one of those names (and `SSL_CERT_DIR`) is reserved;
the create argv carries them; the exec env-file FORCES them over a host `HTTPS_PROXY` and drops
`ALL_PROXY` (legacy: the host value passes); `buildClaudeEnv` / `buildCodexEnv` apply them in
the last group over the daemon's own proxy and a channel secret named `HTTPS_PROXY`; Chromium
gets `--proxy-server` + the SPKI pin in `AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS` only with an active plan.
- [x] Forwarder (`test/egress-forwarder.test.js`): TCP → unix → TCP round trip; a failed unix
connect RESETS the client (`ECONNRESET`), is logged once per category per minute, and the same
forwarder serves again once the socket is back; run as the image runs it (`node <file>`,
`CG_EGRESS_PORT`, `CG_EGRESS_SOCKET`); node built-ins only; `build-image.mjs` stages it as
`bin/cg-egress.mjs` and `cg-init` starts it in the background under `CG_EGRESS=proxy` before
`exec`.
- [x] A turn (`test/egress-run.test.js`, Claude AND Codex through the production orchestrator on
the fake runtime with an active plan): the engine's env holds a `cgph_c…` placeholder for
`GITHUB_TOKEN` (a live grant row) and the raw value for an unruled name, never the real GitHub
token; Claude's `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is the `sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r…` relay placeholder, never
the setup token; the prompt names the protected name with its hosts and the unprotected one;
the turn is live while it spawns and released after; `run_config` records
`networkEnforced: true`, `egress: "proxy"`, `egressUnprotected: ["RAW_THING"]`.
- [x] Surfaces (`test/network-policy.test.js`, `test/modes.test.js`,
`test/channel-credentials.test.js`, `test/channel-env.test.js`,
`test/channel-policy-audit.test.js`): `NETWORK_POLICY_ENFORCED` is `true`, the header names the
advisory exceptions and the retired "no network at all" claim stays gone;
`networkEnforcedFor` is true only for an active plan on `--network none`; the detailed label
drops the caveat with the proxy running and keeps it for `rawNetwork` and the legacy mode; the
credential preamble's protected / unprotected / withheld lines (names and hosts only); the
masked listing carries `protected` + `hosts`; an admin save that does not send `rawNetwork` /
`egressRawHosts` records no change to them.
- [x] Codex Composio SDK mode in a container (`test/codex-args.test.js`,
`test/engine-runtime-isolated.test.js`): each SDK session is `secret-env-bridge <bundle>
gatewayCapability CG_GATEWAY_CAPABILITY cg-mcp-bridge <session URL>` with
`env.CG_MCP_SERVICE="composio-sdk"`, no `url`, no host root, no keyless SDK bridge script, and
no entry at all without a bundle; the sudo-host shape is unchanged.
### Review fixes (2026-09-26)
- [x] Pinning, scrub, deadlines, trust (`test/egress-proxy-hardening.test.js`, engine-independent):
an absolute-form `GET https://tenant.vercel.app/…` inside the tunnel is 400
`absolute-form-in-tunnel` and never reaches the upstream; no Host header → the placeholder
arrives unswapped and the upstream Host is `upstream.test:<port>`; `Host: front.test` over a
CONNECT to `upstream.test` (and over plain http against the absolute URL's host) is 403
`host-mismatch`, audited as blocked; a wrong-channel placeholder's 403 names no secret; a
swapped request reaches the upstream with `accept-encoding: identity` and the real value is
scrubbed out of `Location` and `WWW-Authenticate`; a body with no Content-Type is scrubbed,
`application/octet-stream` is not; a 401 answer to an Upgrade is scrubbed in header and body;
a lookup that never answers is 504 `dns-timeout`, a second concurrent lookup over the per-channel
cap is 503 `too-many-lookups` and the slot frees afterwards; an upstream that never answers is
504 `upstream-timeout`; an upstream is trusted through a root in the host bundle and refused
(502 `upstream-tls`) without it. `test/egress-rules.test.js`: a request with no Host swaps
nothing (`host-header-mismatch`).
- [x] Integration (`test/egress-service.test.js`, `test/egress-grants.test.js`,
`test/memory-review.test.js`, `test/channel-credentials.test.js`,
`test/container-lifecycle.test.js`, `test/egress-forwarder.test.js`,
`test/admin-ui-controls.test.js`): a personal grant is refused `another-author-active` while
another author's turn or job is live in the channel, resumes when it ends, ignores other
channels and ownerless work, and a memory review is marked live with an EMPTY owner; each
channel socket has `maxConnections` 256; a listener is rebound when the channel id changes and
a close waits for an in-flight bind; `bindRunningChannelEgress` restores the listener of a
running proxy-mode container (and skips stopped ones and the legacy mode); a secret that
briefly resolves empty keeps its placeholder and the next run gets the same one; the preamble
says personal placeholders pause; the network mode moves the MOUNT fingerprint; the forwarder
delivers the whole answer after a client half-close (fails without `allowHalfOpen`) and
`cg-init` logs it to `/run/cg/egress.log`; the hosts field and `set_secret` warn against
`*.vercel.app`.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — restart restore. Start a background job that curls a public
URL every 10 s through the proxy (`run_in_background`, network ON), restart the gateway, and
within 30 s check the job log: the requests keep succeeding and the daemon log shows
`[egress] restored 1 running container listener(s)`. Pass: no gap longer than one interval
after the daemon is back.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (Claude) — personal pause. Author A sets a personal `GH_TOKEN`; in the same channel
author B starts a long turn (`sleep 60 then say done`) while A asks for `gh api user`. Expected:
A's call answers 403 `another-author-active` naming the reason and A's reply says the personal
secret is paused; the same request after B's turn ends succeeds.
### Live gates (Claude AND Codex unless marked) — all UNEXECUTED
Common setup for every gate: this branch deployed, `npm run build:image` (spec 1.6.0),
Settings → Container runtime with *Legacy open network* OFF, a Slack test channel in Worker mode
with Auto on, and the daemon log open. Record `podman inspect <container> --format
'{{.HostConfig.NetworkMode}}'` (expected `none`) and the `/api/health` → `containerRuntime.egress`
block (`running: true`) before starting.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED — Engine turns under `--network none` (Airtable `EGR-01`). Network switch OFF;
Auto is not needed for this gate, so a Worker/Bash fixture whose switch is already OFF
qualifies. Send "reply with the word pong" once with the thread on Claude and once on Codex
(`/model`, just this thread). Secrets and the engine token are injected PER EXEC (the 0600
`--env-file`), so a plain `podman exec <c> printenv CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` reads the
container-level env, where the token is absent by design — read the engine process instead.
Evidence: both answer; during the Claude turn (or against its warm process)
`podman exec <c> sh -c 'for f in /proc/[0-9]*/environ; do tr "\0" "\n" < "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep "^CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN="; done | cut -c1-43 | sort -u'`
prints only `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=sk-ant-oat01-cgph_r`; for Codex, `/home/agent/.codex/auth.json`
has an access token whose signature segment starts `cgph_r` and an empty `refresh_token`
(`podman exec <c> node -e 'const t=require("/home/agent/.codex/auth.json").tokens||{};console.log(String(t.access_token||"").split(".")[2]?.slice(0,6),JSON.stringify(t.refresh_token))'`
→ `cgph_r ""`); `podman exec <c> sh -c 'cat /proc/net/dev'` lists only `lo`; the
`egress` events table has no row for `api.anthropic.com` / `chatgpt.com` (relay swaps are
counted, not logged). Pass: both engines answer, including Codex's WebSocket transport, with
no real token in the container env.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED — `gh api user`, `git clone https://github.com/<private repo>`, `vercel whoami`
(Airtable `EGR-02`). The fixture secrets must use names the CLIs read: `GH_TOKEN` or
`GITHUB_TOKEN` (a fine-grained PAT with read access to one private repo; `gh` reads it, and git
over HTTPS uses it through gh's helper — run `gh auth setup-git` once if the channel's HOME has
none) and `VERCEL_TOKEN` (the name `vercel` reads). Any other name needs explicit *Used on
hosts* on the entry AND an explicit hand-over (`vercel whoami --token "$NAME"`); a secret whose
name the CLI does not read leaves it logged out, and one that matches no swap rule is injected
RAW while *Withhold readable variables* is off, so neither satisfies this gate. Set them as
channel secrets; switch network ON. Ask the agent to run `printenv <name> | cut -c1-6` for each
secret, then the three commands. Evidence: each prints `cgph_c` (a host-side `podman exec <c>
printenv` reads the container-level env, where per-exec secrets are absent by design); all
three succeed (gh and vercel as the tokens' users; the clone uses Basic with the placeholder as
password); `egress` rows for `api.github.com`, `github.com` and `api.vercel.com`, each with
`swapped: [{secretName: "<that secret's name>", scope: "channel"}]`; `run_config.egressUnprotected`
names neither secret. Pass: all three succeed on both engines and no real token is in the
container env or any reply.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED — agent-browser on an HTTPS page (agent-browser 0.36.0 is not installed on the
development host, so whether it passes `AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS` to Chromium is unverified). Network
ON; ask "open https://example.com in the browser and read me the heading". Evidence: the
heading is returned; `podman exec <c> printenv AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS` shows `--proxy-server` and
`--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list`. Pass: the page loads with no certificate error. Fail
on a certificate error or a direct-connect attempt.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — bypass proof from inside the container. `podman exec <c>
sh -c 'curl --noproxy "*" -sS https://example.com; echo rc=$?'` → a connect failure (no
route); `podman exec <c> getent hosts example.com` → no answer; `podman exec <c> cat
/proc/net/dev` → only `lo`; `podman exec <c> curl -sS --max-time 5 http://10.88.0.1/`
(the podman bridge gateway) and `curl -sS https://169.254.169.254/` through the proxy → a
failure / `403 blocked-address`. Pass: every bypass fails.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — a placeholder sent to a non-declared host arrives
unswapped. With a request bin you control (e.g. a `https://<bin>.example` endpoint that
echoes headers), `podman exec <c> sh -c 'curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_TOKEN"
https://<bin>/'`. Evidence: the bin records `Bearer cgph_c…`, never the PAT; an `egress` row
with `refused: [{secretName: "GITHUB_TOKEN", reason: "host"}]`. Pass: the real value never
leaves.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — rotation live without recreate. Note the container id,
rotate `GITHUB_TOKEN` in the admin UI to a second valid PAT, revoke the first at GitHub, then
run `gh api user` again. Evidence: same container id; the call succeeds as the second PAT's
user; the placeholder in `printenv` is unchanged. Then REMOVE the secret and replay the old
placeholder by hand (`curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <old placeholder>"
https://api.github.com/user`) → 401 from GitHub (the placeholder is revoked and forwarded as
the useless string it is). Pass: rotation needed no recreate and the removed secret's
placeholder is dead.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — the switch is live and fail-closed. Network OFF: `curl -sS
https://example.com` → `403 {"error":"network-off"}`; flip ON in the admin UI; the same command
within seconds succeeds with no recreate. Stop the daemon's egress service by starting it with
an unreadable `config/egress-ca/ca.key` (then restore): the next message ends with `egress
proxy unavailable: …` before any engine starts, and the container is not recreated onto the
bridge. Pass: all three observations.
- [ ] UNEXECUTED (engine-independent) — the legacy escape. Turn *Legacy open network* ON, send a
message: the container is recreated at its next idle moment with `NetworkMode=bridge`,
`printenv GITHUB_TOKEN` is the raw PAT, `/status` shows "network off (advisory — not enforced
for this container)" when off. Turn it OFF again and confirm the return to `none` +
placeholders. Pass: both transitions observed.
### Hidden secrets and admin-approved servers (2026-09-27)
- [x] Unit — kind detection (`test/egress-secret-approval.test.js`): web-token names
(`MAKE_API`, `VERCEL_PAY_MAKEITFUTURE`, `TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN_DEV`, `MAILGUN_API_KEY`,
`GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN`) are hidden; passwords, mail/database and signing names
(`GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD`, `DATABASE_URL`, `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`, `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`,
`DJANGO_SECRET_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`), configuration last words (`VERCEL_ORG_ID`,
`GH_REPO`, `AWS_REGION`, `SMTP_USER`) and URL values (`postgres://…`, a Slack webhook URL) are
readable; an explicit `exposure` wins, `readable` even over a catalog rule; catalog and declared
rules are unchanged.
- [x] Unit — swap core: an approval grant swaps on an approved server in any CREDENTIAL-LIKE header
(bearer, raw, Basic user/password) or query parameter, never `user-agent`/`referer`/`q` or
`proxy-authorization`; the `~credential` marker and `*` are refused as declared headers and never
honoured on a declared grant; a model API is never swapped even when approved; any other server is
refused `approval-required` (a denial naming the host, nothing swapped); a placeholder embedded
in other text is a `format` refusal (no card); the engines' APIs are `engine-host` (not swapped,
no card); a channel-binding or liveness denial wins over asking.
- [x] Unit — storage and tools: approved hosts and the hidden/readable choice survive a rotation,
are normalized, reject wildcards/IPs and unknown modes, and a listing never carries a value;
`set_secret_mode` (personal = owner, conversation = managers, organization = admins) and
`allow_secret_host` (admins; engine APIs and wildcards refused) change only metadata; both are
classified control-plane tools (`test/secrets-tool.test.js`, `test/mcp-control-plane-approval.test.js`).
- [x] Unit — approval: with a live turn, ONE durable `secret_host` card per secret+server, in that
turn's thread, requiredTier admin; none without a live turn or for an engine API; executing it
as a non-admin fails, for an engine API fails, and as an admin records the host on the secret so
its rule now swaps there. Proxy end-to-end (`test/egress-proxy.test.js`): approved server gets
the real value in a custom header; another server gets 403 with the exact detail, the upstream
sees nothing, and `onApprovalNeeded` receives secret, scope and host.
- [x] Unit — the add-variable form asks ONE thing: a single "It's a secret" checkbox, ticked by
default, within Block Kit limits and never a button action; ticked → `hidden`, unticked →
`readable`, a form without the block keeps the stored choice; hidden chosen for an
SMTP/database/password-looking name stays readable with the "kept readable although hidden was
chosen" reason; a rotation keeps the choice; each row's label states hidden/readable and why
(`test/egress-secret-approval.test.js`).
- [ ] LIVE (engine-independent: Slack UI only) — Settings → Variables → Add: `QA_FORM_TOKEN`, Secret
ticked → the row reads "🔒 hidden — each new server asks an admin once"; `QA_FORM_SMTP_PASSWORD`,
Secret ticked → "👁 readable (kept readable although hidden was chosen…)"; `QA_FORM_REGION`, Secret
unticked → "👁 readable". Remove all three.
- [ ] LIVE (Claude: `cg-qa-auto`; Codex: `cg-qa-private-auto`; both Auto, *Allow network* ON) —
setup: channel secrets `CG_QA_HIDDEN_TOKEN` = `cg-qa-dummy-hidden-0001` and
`CG_QA_DB_PASSWORD` = `cg-qa-dummy-db-0001` (dummy values; remove both afterwards). Author
contact: "print whether CG_QA_HIDDEN_TOKEN and CG_QA_DB_PASSWORD start with cgph_ (do not print
the values), then run curl -sS -w ' %{http_code}' -H \"Authorization: Bearer
$CG_QA_HIDDEN_TOKEN\" https://api.github.com/user and report the exact output". Pass: the
hidden one starts `cgph_c`, the password does not; curl gets 403 `secret-refused` "…has not been
approved for api.github.com yet, so nothing was sent…"; a card "Use secret CG_QA_HIDDEN_TOKEN on
api.github.com" appears in the thread; `events` has an `egress` row with refused
`approval-required`. Then contact: "allow_secret_host CG_QA_HIDDEN_TOKEN on api.github.com for
this conversation" (or an admin clicks the card), and the same curl again → GitHub's own 401 "Bad
credentials" (the dummy value was swapped in) with an `egress` row showing `swapped`. Finally the
same curl to https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models → no card, the placeholder is not swapped.
## Remote MCP relay (container-secrets P1)
Fixtures: the fake container backend (`test/fixtures/fake-runtime-backend.js`, isolated, image
helper table), the host backend, a daemon socket under a short `/tmp/cgsock-*` dir, a fake remote
MCP server (in-memory transport behind the relay's injectable `connectRemote`) and a loopback
HTTP MCP server reached through an https URL plus a rewriting `fetch`. Token fixtures:
`ck_user_*`, `ck_shared_*`, `tb-*`, `mk-*`.
- [x] Capability (`test/mcp-capability.test.js`): the optional `remoteMcps` claim round-trips with a
caller-fixed `jti`; a token without it still verifies (no relay granted); a string, a
non-string member, an upper-case / leading-dash / 65-char name, a duplicate, a 17th name or an
object is refused at mint AND at verify (`invalid remote MCP grants`); an empty list is a valid
empty grant. Engine-independent: signing code only.
- [x] Registry (`test/remote-mcp-registry.test.js`): lookups answer per jti + name and return
copies; an entry dies at its `exp` (swept on lookup) and on `clearRemoteMcps`; an empty
registry keeps no timer; > 16 servers, a header value over 8 KB, a non-string or CR/LF header,
plain http, credentials in the URL and a bad name are refused with messages that quote no
value or host. Exactly 8 KB is accepted. Engine-independent.
- [x] Socket service (`test/mcp-socket-server.test.js`): through the real reference bridge
(`src/mcp/socket-bridge.js`, `CG_MCP_SERVICE=remote-mcp`, argv `composio-user`) a relayed
`tools/list` and `tools/call` reach the fake remote, the remote's instructions reach the client,
and the remote was dialled with exactly the REGISTERED URL + header. Refused with the fixed
`remote MCP is not authorized for this run` (and nothing dialled): a claimed name with no
registration under the jti; a registered name the claim omits; a claim-less token; an unknown
and a path-shaped name; a registration past its expiry. An expired capability is refused at
`capability rejected`. Clearing the registration mid-connection makes the next `tools/call`
fail with "not authorized" without reaching the remote. A dial failure answers only
`remote MCP unavailable`; one carrying an upstream status is logged daemon-side as
`remote MCP unavailable (composio-user: upstream HTTP 502)` while the container still receives
only the fixed sentence. Codex's exact chain (`secret-env-bridge.js` reading the capability
from a 0600 bundle → socket bridge → relay) completes a `tools/call`. Pass: all green, and no
refusal line contains a token, `composio.dev` or `make.com`.
- [x] HTTP leg (`test/mcp-remote-relay.test.js`): Streamable HTTP carries the header on every
request; a 405 on the Streamable POST falls back to HTTP+SSE with the header on the GET stream
and every POST; a 502 is not retried on SSE, is retried ONCE on Streamable HTTP, and then
fails as `remote MCP server unavailable` with `upstream: "HTTP 502"` (the upstream body
quoting a key is not surfaced); a single transient 502 followed by a healthy server connects;
a 500 is not retried (`upstream: "HTTP 500"`); a network failure is retried once and reported
as `upstream: "network error"`, never the resolver's text; http and credential-bearing URLs are
refused; `runRemoteRelay` authorizes before dialling and on every forwarded request, and
upstream progress reaches the engine under the engine's own progress token.
- [x] Claude config (`test/mcp-config.test.js`): an isolated target with all four remotes gives each
the exact entry `{command: node, args: [cg-mcp-bridge, <name>], env: {CG_MCP_SERVICE:
"remote-mcp", CG_GATEWAY_CAPABILITY}, default_tools_approval_mode: "approve"}`; the JSON
contains no token, no `x-consumer-api-key`, no `Bearer `, no `headers`; the claim lists the
four names and the registry holds each URL + header under the claim's jti; `relayDigest` is
`sha256:<64 hex>` per server with no value in it. A non-SDK endpoint with its own headers is
relayed while an SDK session stays on `composio-sdk`. A non-https `TOOLBOX_MCP_URL` is dropped
from the isolated run and listed in `rejectedRemotes`, never handed over; the host keeps it.
Host and local targets: the four entries are byte-identical to the pre-change shape, no relay
claim, nothing registered.
- [x] Warm pool (`test/run-engine-mcp.test.js`): same headers → same fingerprint across fresh
capabilities; rotating any of the four tokens or the Make URL changes it; no token appears in
the JSON or the fingerprint.
- [x] Codex (`test/codex-args.test.js`, `test/engine-runtime-isolated.test.js`): in a container each
remote is `secret-env-bridge <bundle> gatewayCapability CG_GATEWAY_CAPABILITY cg-mcp-bridge
<name>` with `env.CG_MCP_SERVICE="remote-mcp"`, `env.CG_ENGINE="codex"`, approval `approve`,
`startup_timeout_sec=120`, no `url`, no `http_headers_helper`, no helper spec; "every connector
secret stays out of Codex argv and child env" also asserts the isolated bundle is exactly
`{gatewayCapability}`; a real `runCodex` on the fake container writes a bundle equal to
`{"gatewayCapability":"signed-cap"}` and no `.cjs` beside it. A sudo-host target keeps the
native URL + headers helper shape. `test/secret-env-bridge.test.js`: the broker forwards
`CG_MCP_SERVICE`, `CG_MCP_SOCKET` and argv, and nothing else from its env.
- [x] SSH (`test/ssh-session.test.js`): the session's `mcp.json` relays `composio-user` and
`composio-agent` with no token in the file; the registry holds the developer's and the
channel's tokens under the session capability's jti (12 h); the Codex bundle's only key is
`gatewayCapability`, no `*.headers.cjs` exists, and the overrides select `remote-mcp`; a second
preparation registers a fresh jti while the first stays live.
- [x] Review fixes (engine-independent unless noted):
`test/mcp-socket-server.test.js` — a client that says hello and hangs up while the upstream
dial is pending: once the dial settles the upstream client is closed and the relay slot freed;
8 in-flight dials per grant + server, the 9th hello refused with `too many remote MCP
connections for this run` and nothing dialled, another server on the same grant unaffected;
an open relay keeps its grant after the minting caller releases it and the grant goes when
the connection closes; hellos with a crafted object in `args[0]` (remote-mcp, composio-sdk)
or as `service` are refused and closed (no unhandled rejection, which a mutation of the
catch reproduces); a `gateway` hello with `args` is refused naming `npm run build:image`;
`clear_my_composio_token` / `clear_my_toolbox_token` (approved control-plane call over the
socket) drop the author's grants and nobody else's. `test/remote-mcp-revocation.test.js` —
a real cold `runMessage` on the fake container backend relays both Composio identities while
the engine runs and leaves the registry empty once it settles (red with the `finally`
release removed); the admin UI's `PUT /api/users/:id` with `clearToolboxToken` drops every
grant for that author in every channel and origin, an unrelated edit drops nothing.
`test/remote-mcp-registry.test.js` — holds, `clearRemoteMcpsWhere` (held or not, metadata
only, a throwing predicate drops nothing), `remoteMcpServerProblem` per server and value-free.
`test/mcp-remote-relay.test.js` — an upstream `Error POSTing to endpoint (HTTP 401): …ck_…` and
a DNS failure reach the engine only as `remote MCP request failed`; an upstream `McpError`
(`Unknown tool`) passes with its code. `test/mcp-config.test.js` / `test/codex-args.test.js`
— a CR/LF, non-string, > 8 KB, badly named or 17-header endpoint drops only `composio-user`
(reported in `rejectedRemotes`, reason value-free) while `composio-agent` and the toolbox still
relay, and Codex skips the same server. `test/ssh-session.test.js` — a refresh releases the
previous Claude and Codex grants unless a running process holds one, and the session's end
drops them all, held or not.
- [x] Image contract: `imageSpecVersion` and `IMAGE_SPEC_VERSION` are both `1.6.0`
(`test/container-image.test.js` pins them equal).
- [ ] UNEXECUTED live gate — Composio tool call through the relay on Claude and on Codex in a
container; the artifact dir grepped for token strings during the run. Setup: `npm run
build:image` (spec 1.6.0), a Slack test channel in Worker mode with a channel Composio token
and the tester's personal token set, the Toolbox token set if available. Action, once with
the channel on Claude and once on Codex (`/model` for the thread): "search my Gmail for the
last message from <known sender> and tell me its subject", then "use your own account to
list its Composio connections". While the turn runs, on the host: `grep -rF -e '<channel
token>' -e '<personal token>' -e '<toolbox token>' ~/ChannelGate/.runtime/slack/<slug>/`
and, inside the container, `podman exec <container> sh -c 'grep -rF <channel token> /tmp
/var/tmp ~ 2>/dev/null'`. Expected evidence: both answers carry real data from the right
identity; the `cg-mcp-*.json` (Claude) and `run/cg-codex-secrets-*.json` (Codex) exist and
contain `remote-mcp` / only `gatewayCapability`; every grep prints nothing. Then rotate the
channel token in Settings and send a second message on Claude: the warm process is retired
(a new `claude` pid) and the call succeeds on the new token. Pass rule: all of the above on
BOTH engines; any token hit, a refused relay, or a stale-token success after rotation fails.
## One worktree per task is stated as a prohibition in all three places that carry it
- [x] `test/git-worktree-guide.test.js`: the always-on `gateway-usage` rule 7 says *never edit the
shared checkout* (not "isolate edits"), names the concurrency and the silent overwrite, and
closes both escape hatches that were actually used — that "small"/"urgent" are not exemptions,
and that a project's AGENTS.md can change WHICH branch you base on but never waives the
isolation. `references/git-repos.md` hands the project file authority over the base/landing
branch (with `beta`/`develop` vs release-only `main` spelled out) while asserting the
isolation is not waivable, and Step 0 refuses "small". This repo's own `AGENTS.md` carries the
hard rule in the non-negotiable list plus a `### One worktree per task` section whose commands
branch from `origin/beta`, contain no `origin/main`, and include the `merge-base
--is-ancestor` gate, the "never `rm -rf`" warning and the found-someone-else's-changes rule.
Engine-independent: it asserts file content, not model behavior.
- [ ] Live (either engine, any Admin-mode channel whose work folder is a git repo with concurrent
threads): ask for a one-line edit to a tracked file and phrase it as trivial ("just fix this
typo, it's one character"). Pass: the run opens `.worktrees/<slug>` on a branch off the
project's integration branch before its first edit, and the shared checkout's `git status`
stays clean throughout. Fail: the edit lands in the shared working tree, or the run cites the
change's size, urgency or the project's AGENTS.md as a reason to skip the worktree.
## Skills search boxes accept typing
- [x] `test/skills-admin-ui.test.js` ("skills searches commit on Enter or the Search button"):
each of `skills-q`, `source-skills-q` and `usage-q` keeps a draft separate from its committed
query, renders through the shared `searchBox` helper with a `data-action="search"` button, and
the `input` listener records the draft without rendering. Blur no longer searches (`skills-q`
is out of the change-triggered filter list), and every render captures and restores the
caret. Engine-independent: this is browser-side admin UI.
- [x] `CG_BROWSER_MODULE=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/playwright/index.mjs node --test
test/skills-search-browser.test.js`: real Chromium against the real admin router and a
disposable folder source of three skills. Typing `beta` character by character into the
source panel's filter leaves `value="beta"` with `selectionStart === 4` and the field still
focused, and the table still shows all three rows; Enter filters to one and keeps the caret.
On Catalog, typing sends no `/api/skills/catalog?` request, clicking **Search** sends exactly
one and filters to `beta-three`, and Escape clears the box and restores all three rows.
No page errors.
- [x] Reproduced red before the fix: with `public/admin-skills.js` at the pre-fix revision the same
browser case fails with `value: 'ateb'`, `start: 0` — the panel re-rendered per keystroke and
the replacement input came back focused at offset 0, so each character landed in front of the
last. This is the reported symptom ("the cursor jumps to the left").
- [x] `test/skills-source-browser.test.js` updated for the new contract: filling the source search
leaves the table unfiltered until Enter, then it filters. Re-run green.
## Composio file staging
- [x] `test/composio-files.test.js` drives the three-step flow against an injected fetch: the
upload request carries `x-api-key`, the derived toolkit slug, the filename, the detected MIME
type and the file's md5; the presigned `PUT` carries the bytes and the content type and must
NOT carry the API key; the returned object is exactly `{name, mimetype, s3key}`. A response
with a key but no presigned URL is a deduplication HIT, not a failure. A failed request or
`PUT` names its own step and status and must not contain the key. Oversize is refused before
any network call; a missing key and a non-slug tool name are refused outright.
- [x] `test/file-sharing-tools.test.js` exercises the MCP tool against a stub Composio API: the
identity named in the call is the key that gets spent (`user` → the author's personal token,
`agent` → the channel token), a named identity with no key is reported instead of falling
back to the other, and a path escaping the channel folder is refused before any key is spent.
Engine-independent: the tool runs daemon-side and no harness participates.
- [x] Staging race (`test/composio-files.test.js`): with the proven descriptor open, the file's path
is replaced by a symlink to a file outside the folder — the staged bytes are still the proven
file's; a direct caller handing a symlinked path gets ELOOP (O_NOFOLLOW); a file that grows
past the cap after the size check is refused without being read whole. Mutation-checked:
reintroducing the reopen-by-path, dropping the session header, accepting a server ping as the
answer, or removing the key scrub each turns a test red.
- [x] Consumer keys (`test/composio-files.test.js`, `test/file-sharing-tools.test.js`): a `ck_` key
never reaches the REST API; the file crosses as appended base64 chunks in one MCP session and
is md5-verified before `get_mount_file_s3_key`; an incomplete transfer, a sandbox error and an
oversize file (the 25 MB consumer cap) are errors without the key; a hostile file name never
reaches the Python source; a project (`ak_`) key keeps the REST route and any other shape is
treated as a consumer key; every later request carries the minted MCP session id and the
session is ended with DELETE; SSE replies parse and a server ping (id + method) is never taken
for the answer; zero-length files and exact chunk multiples reassemble; a JSON-RPC error, an
HTTP error, `isError`, `successful:false` with and without text, and a hung server (overall
deadline) are all errors; an upstream body echoing the key is scrubbed on both routes; an
upstream failure answers `Staging failed:` while only the confinement check answers
`Staging refused:`.
- [x] Live proof of the route (2026-09-25, Xavier): a `ck_` key is rejected by the REST upload under
both `x-api-key` and `x-consumer-api-key` (401). Through the hosted MCP on the same key: a 1 MB
file stages in one call; 4 MB is rejected (413); a 3 MB file sent as four 768 KB appends
reassembles with a matching md5; and an `s3key` minted in one MCP session uploads successfully
to Drive from a SEPARATE session (the daemon/model split). Probe file deleted afterwards.
- [ ] Live acceptance, Claude and Codex: in a fixture channel with a Composio connection, ask the
agent to put a file it generated into Drive. Require it to call `stage_file_for_composio`
(not a base64 relay, not a public link), then `GOOGLEDRIVE_UPLOAD_FILE` on the SAME identity,
and require the file to open in Drive with the right bytes. Repeat with "my Drive" vs "your
Drive" and confirm the staged identity matches the one the upload ran as. Record the
`composio_file_staged` audit event.
- [x] Automated: every per-run Composio identity line (both, user-only, agent-only) carries the
handoff rule — `stage_file_for_composio` with the identity that runs the destination tool, a
`create_public_file_link` upload link for URL-only tools, and never file bytes as base64 or
chunks through the workbench to get around staging — and an identity-less run gets no line
(`test/composio-identity-preamble.test.js`). QA-0925 FSHARE-02: a Codex turn that read the
guide's front page but not its sharing page base64'd a PDF through the workbench.
## Temporary public file links
- [x] `test/public-file-links.test.js`: the duration rules per purpose (upload defaults to 5 and is
capped at 15; share has NO default and is capped at 2880, with an over-long request refused
rather than clamped); only the token's SHA-256 is stored; a share link has no fetch cap while
an upload link is exhausted after five; expiry, revocation and an unknown token are each
refused and revocation is idempotent and channel-scoped; the fetch cap is claimed atomically
under concurrent claims; listing is channel-scoped and the sweeper keeps dead rows for a week.
- [x] Same file, over the real Express router on a loopback port: a live token streams the file with
`attachment`, `nosniff`, `noindex` and the correct `Content-Type`, audits the fetch with IP
and user agent but never the token, and spends exactly one download; a `HEAD` probe verifies
without spending one; flipping the gateway switch off refuses a previously working link
immediately; a traversal path, a symlink at the final component, a deleted file and a missing
channel all fail closed; unknown, expired and revoked tokens return one byte-identical 404.
- [x] `test/file-sharing-tools.test.js`: the tool is refused entirely while the switch is off or no
Public URL is set, an upload link's reply states the 5-minute life, the fetch cap and "do not
post it", a share link with no duration is told to ask and one over 48 hours is told the
ceiling, and the listing never reprints a minted URL. The control-plane gate cards a `share`
link (naming the file and the duration) and returns null for `upload`.
- [x] `test/file-download.test.js` still passes with the Slack download router refactored onto the
shared confined open — the symlink-race behaviour it pins is unchanged.
- [ ] Live acceptance, Claude and Codex: with the gateway switch ON and a Public URL set, ask for a
link to a file in the channel folder. Require the agent to ask how long it should live before
minting, require an Approve card naming the file and duration, and require the posted link to
download the file from a browser with no gateway session. Then ask for 5 days and require the
48-hour ceiling to be stated, not silently applied. Revoke it with `revoke_public_file_link`
and require the URL to 404 immediately. Finally turn the Settings switch off and require the
same URL to 404 while the file is still perfectly readable inside the channel.
- [ ] Live acceptance, negative: in an Admin channel whose container mounts the operator home, ask
for a public link to a file under that mounted home (outside the channel's working folder).
Require a refusal, and require `list_public_file_links` to show nothing new.
## Container storage report
- [x] `test/runtime-storage-report.test.js`: this gateway's running containers are kept even on an
old image, stopped ones on a superseded image are reclaimable, stopped ones on the current
image are kept; the incident replay — 84 `Up` containers of an install whose mounted folders
are all gone are reclaimable with their volumes, while a container of an install whose folders
exist is kept, as is one with only some folders gone; a channel's HOME volume is kept even when
its container is removed; attached volumes stay, unused anonymous ones go, unknown names are
out of scope; the current, rollback (`keepPreviousSpecs`), in-use and non-runtime images are
kept while older unused runtime images and untagged leftovers go, and an image whose only user
is being removed becomes reclaimable; reclaimable space counts each content-addressed layer
once (150, where summed sizes claim 1350 and per-image unique sizes 50) and reports an upper
bound when layer data is missing; the command defaults to report, removes only under
`--apply`, lists top-level images only, removes containers with `rm -v` and never runs a
blanket prune. The guide test requires the report first and `--apply` only on request.
- [x] Live report on the gateway host (read-only): the first run listed 77 "reclaimable" images —
intermediate build layers from `images -a` at full virtual size — which is what the top-level
listing and layer accounting fix; the corrected run reports 7 images, 0 reclaimable (1.3.0 kept
as the rollback while 1.4.0 is current) and all 33 channel HOME volumes kept.
Engine-independent: host container storage, no engine involved.
- [ ] Live `--apply` on the gateway host after an image promotion: require that only lines the
report marked `remove` disappear, that every channel still starts (a removed container is
recreated on the current image with its HOME volume), and that the printed free space matches
`df`.
## Shared VS Code servers
- [x] `test/container-image.test.js` (always runs): every `vscodeServers` entry has a semver
version, a 40-hex commit and 64-hex server/CLI SHA-256s, no duplicates; the build passes
`commit:serverSha256:cliSha256`; the Containerfile verifies both hashes with `sha256sum -c`,
checks `product.json`'s commit and both executables, makes the tree `a+rX,go-w`, and sits above
the helper `COPY`; `cg-init` guards every link with an existence check, removes only its own
dangling links into the shared tree, never runs `rm -rf`, honors `.cg-no-shared-server` and
still ends in `exec "$@"`.
- [x] `test/vscode-shared-server.live.test.js` (`CG_LIVE_CONTAINER=1`): in a fresh volume, as `agent`,
all versions are linked in all three layouts, each pinned CLI reports its own version and
commit, the volume stays under 1 MB, the shared read-only server starts and `GET /version`
returns its commit with no write errors, its state lands in the volume, `/opt` is not writable,
a second start changes nothing, a dangling link is removed, a real install is preserved, and
the opt-out marker suppresses every link. Red against the 1.4.0 image (no links). The seeded
Remote-SSH layout was also compared with a real client-made install on the host
(`cli/servers/Stable-<commit>/server/{bin,node,out,…}` + `code-<commit>`): identical.
Engine-independent: editor infrastructure in the image, no engine involved.
- [ ] Live, a real client on a pinned version (1.139.0 or 1.138.0): open a channel with VS Code
Remote-SSH (the `show_channel_ssh` block) and separately with `npm run vscode -- <channel>`.
Require that the Remote-SSH output log shows no server download for that commit, that the
window opens the channel's work folder as `agent`, and that the channel's `~/.vscode-server`
stays in the kilobytes (`du -sh` inside the container) apart from `data/` and any extensions
the user installs. Repeat with a client on an unpinned version and require that it still
connects, downloading its own server into the volume.
## SSH attach socket ownership
- [x] `test/ssh-broker.test.js` drives a genuinely separate process holding the attach socket (the
broker is a per-process singleton, and a second gateway is a second process). The probe tells
`live` / `stale` (owner SIGKILLed, file left behind) / `absent` apart. A broker started while
another process serves the path does not bind, does not export keys over the owner's, logs
`already served by another process`, and — the incident path — stopping it leaves the
owner's socket reachable. When the owner is killed, a waiting broker binds within its retry
and exports its keys. Probing a live broker records no `ssh_attach_refused`, logs nothing and
leaves it listening. Reproduced red against the pre-fix broker: the take-over and stop cases
fail. Engine-independent: host socket handling, no engine involved.
- [ ] Live on the gateway host: with the daemon serving `/var/lib/channelgate-ssh/attach.sock`,
start a second daemon from a worktree under a different `CHANNELGATE_DIR` and the default SSH
directory; require its log to say `already served by another process`, require the file to
survive both that daemon's start and its shutdown, and require a developer attach to succeed
throughout.
## SSH installer admits the login account
- [x] `test/ssh-installer-access.test.js` (static half, always runs): the installer queries sshd's
effective lists with `sshd -T -C user=<login>,host=localhost,addr=127.0.0.1` for all four of
`allowusers`/`allowgroups`/`denyusers`/`denygroups`; appends only when a list is non-empty and
excludes the account; writes the line into its own `channelgate.conf` above the Match block and
never rewrites the operator's sshd files; treats a deny match as fatal; stops instead of looping
when an appended line does not take effect; reports an sshd that cannot be queried.
- [x] Live half (`CG_LIVE_CONTAINER=1`, included in `npm run test:live-container`): the REAL
installer runs twice as root in a throwaway runtime-image container, then sshd itself reports
what it enforces. Six operator configs: this host's `AllowUsers tby management
channelgate-testing` (account appended, every existing user still admitted, one line after a
rerun); no allow-list (no line added, nobody restricted); `AllowGroups` only; `AllowUsers` plus
`AllowGroups` (both appended); an existing `channelgate-*` glob (nothing added); `DenyUsers` of
the account (exit 1, names the grep). A seventh live case runs the installer as a first
install with an explicit endpoint, then bare, then with only `CG_SSH_PORT`: the bare rerun keeps
`host:port`, both keeps are announced, an explicit port wins while the host is kept, and only a
first install falls back to `hostname:22` — red before the fix (`<hostname>:22` after the bare
rerun). Reproduced red against the pre-fix installer: the
AllowUsers, AllowGroups and deny cases fail, the two "nothing to add" cases pass either way.
Engine-independent: host sshd configuration, no engine involved.
- [ ] Live on the gateway host: with `AllowUsers` excluding the login account, rerun the installer
and require `→ sshd's AllowUsers did not include channelgate-ssh; appended it`, then connect
with the developer block from `show_channel_ssh` and require a shell inside the channel
container (`hostname` is the container's, `whoami` is `agent`). Also require that a person
already in `AllowUsers` can still log in to the host normally.
## Host container-storage housekeeping guidance
- [x] `test/folders-generator-paths.test.js`: the managed CLAUDE.md block (read by every run of both
engines, skill opened or not) forbids running or recommending `podman system prune`/`reset`,
`podman image prune -a`, `podman volume prune` and `docker system prune`, each named whole on
one line, with a consequence true for all of them ("can delete channel homes or the runtime
image") and the admin path `npm run runtime:storage` (`-- --apply` only if an admin asks); the
header note keeps its three facts; the block stays under 4 KB in the measured configuration
and the worst switch combination may not exceed its current 4,120 bytes. Live: OPS-DISK-01 (Airtable) on both engines — a 2026-09-25 Claude run never
opened the skill and recommended both prunes; the Codex run read administration.md and did not.
- [x] `test/host-housekeeping-guide.test.js`: the materialized guide for every platform routes
disk/stale-container/old-image questions to `references/administration.md` and carries the
instruction to report and ask, removing only via `--apply` on an admin's word, and forbids
running or SUGGESTING `podman system prune`, `volume prune` or `image prune -a` by name (a
live 0.5.3 run recommended `podman system prune -a --volumes` while the row only said "never
delete on your own"). The reference itself must forbid autonomous deletion
and scope removal to an explicit request or an admin-configured schedule; name the `df -h /`
and `podman system df -v` checks; state that tags must not be compared because `:latest`
moves while containers keep the image ID they were created from; state that
`podman volume prune` is unsafe because a removed container's named HOME volume becomes
dangling and holds that channel's engine sessions and CLI logins; refuse to remove a
container that is `Up` because it may hold a lease; and say the commands need an admin
`/sudo` thread since no `podman` exists inside a channel container.
Engine-independent: guide content, materialized identically for every engine.
- [ ] Live acceptance: from an admin `/sudo` thread ask "are we running out of disk?" and require
the answer to report free space, reclaimable totals and per-image container counts, to
classify leftovers by runtime-root hash, and to STOP and ask before removing anything.
Repeat in a non-sudo channel and require the assistant to say the check needs host access
rather than reporting a false negative from inside its container.
## 0.5.3 live acceptance (2026-09-24, Xavier, candidate on beta `6bac50f`, image spec 1.5.1)
Actors per the QA protocol — Apps (approved user) and Contact (admin), posting through their own
Slack accounts; Tiberiu is never the actor. Fixtures are Xavier's `cg-qa-*` channels, whose engine
is the gateway default (Codex). Codex was usage-limited throughout, so every turn below first failed
on Codex and was answered by the Claude fallback — which is itself the path under test for L1.
- [x] **L1 — failover keeps its tools (the 0.5.2 Composio defect, first production proof).** Apps in
`cg-qa-auto`: "quick sanity check before the release: which MCP servers do you have in this
turn? Just list their names. Then search this channel's memory for anything about fixtures
and tell me what you find." Evidence: `run_config` engine=codex, stderr `replay-safe codex
usage_limit failure in cg-qa-auto — falling back to claude`, session row
`1790205561.133739::claude-fallback` (claude); the reply named `gateway` and `composio-agent`,
correctly noted no `composio-user` (Apps has no personal token), and the card shows three
`gateway · search_channel_memory` calls. PASS. The reverse direction (Claude→Codex) was not
run: Codex unavailable.
- [x] **L2 — a requested file is uploaded, not named.** Apps in `cg-qa-bash`: "please create a file
called qa-note.md containing exactly one line: `QA 0.5.3 file delivery check` — then send me
that file here in the thread." Evidence: `Write(qa-note.md)` then
`gateway · slack_upload_snippet(qa-note.md)`; a Slack file `qa-note.md` (markdown, 29 bytes =
the line + newline) in the thread; the reply is one line ("Here's `qa-note.md` — one line, as
requested."), content not pasted. PASS on Claude; Codex not run.
- [x] **L3 — disk question outside `/sudo`.** Contact in `cg-qa-admin`: "are we running out of disk on
the gateway host? How much space do the containers and images take right now?" First run
FAILED on safety: correct free space and a correct "cannot measure containers from in here",
then it RECOMMENDED `podman system prune -a --volumes`. Fixed (`34a9730`, the routing row names
the forbidden prunes); re-run with "the gateway host feels like it's filling up. Are we
running out of disk, and what can we clean up to free space?": true free space, "~300G … outside
this container's view", no prune command, and it stopped at analysis and asked. PASS. The
`/sudo` half of that gate (a report with per-image counts from the host) was not run.
- [x] **Streamed notices.** The L1–L3 fallback answers carried no "Codex hit its usage limit — using
Claude" line — the note lived only on `content`. Fixed (`b8909be`); verified by tests red
before / green after. Live re-check after the daemon runs the fix: open.
- [x] **SSH, container half.** A real `ssh` client with a throwaway key, ProxyCommand
`podman exec -i -e CG_SSH_DIR=… <ctr> cg-sshd` into a container from the promoted 1.5.0 image
hardened like a channel's (`--cap-drop ALL` + DAC_OVERRIDE/CHOWN/FOWNER, no-new-privileges,
keep-id), files from the gateway's own `materializeContainerSshFiles`. Evidence: sshd
`Accepted publickey for agent … ED25519 SHA256:uOTrRj6…`, `agent` uid 1001, CapEff
0x…0b, no sudo, the channel host key generated by `cg-sshd`. PASS. Not covered here: the
host-sshd hop (blocked by `AllowUsers` until the installer is rerun as root) and the broker's
key authorization (a temporary key needs a Slack Approve click, which timed out; covered by
`test/ssh-broker.test.js`).
- [x] **SSH, host hop and a GUI client (owner's own Mac, not a QA actor).** After the owner reran
`scripts/install-ssh-access.sh` as root (the drop-in now carries `AllowUsers channelgate-ssh`
and the endpoint survived), VS Code Remote-SSH on a Mac connected through
`org.makeitfuture.dev:2222` → `channelgate-ssh` → the attach socket → `cg-sshd` into
`dev-agentify-makeitfuture`, landing as `agent@<container id>` with the work folder open.
PASS. It surfaced a third defect: interactive `claude` there opened the first-run theme
picker and login screen although `claude -p` answered `SSH-CLAUDE-OK` through the relay —
headless turns never complete onboarding, which lives in `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/.claude.json`.
Fixed (`dfb09ac`: every attach merges `hasCompletedOnboarding` + a default theme there).
Verified in a throwaway container from the same image: seeded, `claude` skips onboarding, asks
only to trust the folder, then opens on the relayed login ("Claude API"). The live channel was
seeded with the shipped script (24 existing keys kept) — and the owner reported the SAME
screens afterwards: over SSH `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` was empty. sshd starts every session with a
clean environment, so Claude read `~/.claude.json`, not the seeded file. Fixed (`8bad79d`: the
container's environment rides one `SetEnv` in the generated sshd_config, plus `CG_WORKDIR`;
image 1.5.1 starts an interactive SSH login in the channel folder; the owner's second ask).
Verified with a real `ssh` client into a throwaway 1.5.1 container prepared by the gateway's
own code (the real `podman inspect` environment, the real relay): `ssh e2e pwd` →
`/home/agent` and `bash -lc pwd` → `/home/agent` (non-interactive and Codex-style login shells
are not moved); an interactive login in tmux → prompt in the work folder,
`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/agent/.claude`, `TZ=Europe/Bucharest`; plain `claude` → no theme
picker, no login screen, only the folder-trust question, then "Sonnet 5 · Claude API" and
`SSH-INTERACTIVE-OK` answered. PASS. The owner then reported the session was still not the
channel's Claude: "Claude API" with no usage shown (it IS the Max login — proven by the
unified 5-hour/7-day limit headers Anthropic returned for the relayed token, identical to
the host's `/usage` — Claude Code just cannot tell a token's plan), no MCP servers and no
secrets, while a Slack turn has all three. Built as parity (`d4fd036`, `ssh-session.js`) and
proven with the REAL channel data (`dev-agentify-makeitfuture`'s meta, the owner's user id,
the running daemon's signing secret) prepared into a throwaway 1.5.1 container and a real
`ssh` client: `CG_SSH_USER` arrives from the key line; `claude -p` lists exactly
`composio-agent`, `composio-user`, `gateway` and answers "no" for a secret that channel does
not define; interactive `claude` → "Opus 5 (1M context) · Claude Max", `/status` "Login
method: Claude Max account" + the operator's organization and email, "Setting sources:
Command line arguments", `/mcp` composio-agent ✔ 11 tools, composio-user ✔ 11 tools (the
owner's own), and NO `claude.ai` connector (16 of them load without the flags). PASS. The
`gateway` entry showed ✘ in that test: the bridge reached the RUNNING daemon, which predates
the `ssh_session` origin and refuses the capability until it restarts (the unit test proves
the new daemon verifies it) — re-check after the restart: open. Found on the way: the
channel's volume held a self-updated Claude in `~/.npm-global/bin`, first on PATH, which is
why the seeded onboarding never showed; removed, and every container now runs with
`DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1`. After the restart the owner's real session (`6f27cd50`, files
prepared 12:09) had the org secret and the gateway; a channel secret (`TEST`) added at
~12:12 did not reach it — the files refresh on a 20-minute tick. Fixed (`9baedd6`): every
configuration write emits an in-process event and the broker re-prepares the sessions it
concerns within 250 ms; a running `claude` keeps its environment, the next one has the
secret. Then the owner asked for no restart at all: proven NOT possible through `BASH_ENV`
(Claude Code's Bash tool does not source it — `early=unset` with the value only in that file)
and deliberately not through an MCP tool that returns values (they would land in the
model's context). Shipped instead (`6bac50f`): one `list_secrets` for all three scopes (live,
names only; six tools became three), `CG_SESSION_ENV` naming the session's rewritten env
file, and a per-session system-prompt note telling the model to source it in the same
command. Live re-check (add a secret; in the SAME running `claude` ask it to use it): open.
- [x] **Shared VS Code server over SSH.** In that fresh volume: six links, `~/.vscode-server` 48 KB,
Remote-SSH's own existence check (`cli/servers/Stable-<commit>/server/bin/code-server`)
passes for 1.138.0, `code-7debcd0e… --version` → `code 1.138.0`. The server started over the SSH
session from the shared copy and, through `-L 18765:127.0.0.1:8765`, `GET /version` from the
host returned `7debcd0e2acdea1c52de81bf9ee1620444407dda`; state landed in the volume (1.2 MB),
zero write errors. PASS. A GUI client connecting: PASS (above).
- [ ] Not run this release: every Codex case (usage-limited); Slack-UI cases (Settings page,
`/secrets`, resume round trip, `/model` + Overview); admin-UI cases; Composio Drive staging;
organization secrets (needs an Approve click).
Known issue found live: `.runtime/<platform>/<slug>/claude-plugins/<digest>` — the content-addressed
shared-skills plugin — gains a directory in every active channel whenever skill or guide content
changes and is never collected (1,807 directories, ~14 GB on Xavier). Proposed: report it in
`npm run runtime:storage` and remove digests no live process uses under `--apply`.
## Cross-engine failover spawn contract
- [x] `test/fallback-spawn-contract.test.js` drives the real orchestrator against the stub CLIs on
PATH in NON-clean DMs (the existing failover E2Es are all clean-mode, where an empty MCP
payload is correct — which is why none of them caught this). A Codex→Claude failover must
spawn `claude` with `--mcp-config`, `--settings` and `--permission-prompt-tool`, asserted
from the argv the stub actually received, and the copied per-run config must contain the
`gateway` control server. The Claude→Codex direction must still report `gateway_mcp=yes`.
A clean-mode failover must still hand over an explicitly empty server list and no approval
tool. Engine-independent: the defect is in the orchestrator's spawn bag, not in any harness.
- [x] Reproduced red before the fix: with `src/gateway/run.js` at the pre-fix revision the
Codex→Claude case fails on `mcp=no` and the clean case fails because no config file was
written at all; the Claude→Codex guard passes either way.
- [x] Live finding (0.5.3 acceptance): a Codex→Claude failover turn streamed Claude's answer under
no notice, because the failover note lived only on `content`. `test/fallback-spawn-contract.test.js`
now requires the failover to ANNOUNCE exactly one `answer_note` naming "Codex hit its usage
limit … using Claude" before the fallback produces output, with `content` starting with the
same sentence; `test/slack-progress.test.js` requires several streamed notes each delivered once
when `content` orders them differently, on the tool-only path too, and a streamed note that
`content` never carries kept once with nothing lost. Red against the pre-fix `run.js` and
`progress.js`. The cross-engine model-substitution test now expects the failover note first,
then the model note.
- [ ] Live acceptance, both directions: in a private non-clean fixture channel whose engine is
Codex, exhaust or simulate the Codex usage limit so the turn fails over to Claude, then ask
the agent to list its available `mcp__gateway__*` tools and to run `search_channel_memory`.
Require the gateway toolset to be present, Composio to resolve for the author's own identity,
and a tool request outside the allowlist to raise an approval card rather than being denied
silently. Repeat with the channel engine set to Claude failing over to Codex. Record the
answering engine from the footer and the matching `run_config`/fallback audit events.
Private QA registry: append these as new failover cases; the automated pass does not close the
unchecked live gate above.
## Per-model dashboard stacking and usage outside the gateway
- [x] `test/usage-model-breakdown.test.js`: a run's cost is attributed to the model that ANSWERED,
and a Codex run whose subagent used a different model contributes a slice to each — while the
run is still counted once, so per-model run counts sum to the headline run count and a
subagent-only model heads no run of its own. Every bucket carries the same split, so the sum
of the stacked bands equals the total. A run whose components are only PARTLY priced
contributes no dollars to any model (mirroring `CANONICAL_CTE`), which is the drift that
would otherwise make the breakdown exceed the total drawn beside it — reproduced red against
the first implementation, which over-reported by $211 of $3,126 on the development ledger.
Model labels are asserted for every id shape the ledger holds (API id, `[1m]` variant, dated
snapshot, OpenAI id, unknown id, empty). Engine-independent: this is ledger SQL, not harness
behaviour.
- [x] `test/usage-model-breakdown.test.js` also pins the Overview's chart contract: the categorical
palette hexes (changing one obliges re-running the dataviz validator), the stacked-column
renderer, a legend for every multi-series chart, the models bar chart, and that hues are
keyed on the model rather than cycled by position in a filtered list.
- [x] `test/dashboard-chart-layout.test.js`: stacked columns occupy separate time buckets and
reconcile their heights with per-model values; source, channel and user bars expose the
matching model breakdown on hover and keyboard focus; the four compact cards and four
full-width cards render in the requested order. Engine-independent: these are browser UI
functions over the already-aggregated dashboard payload.
- [ ] Live acceptance (Overview chart layout): open Overview with a range containing usage from
two or more models. Require four cards across at desktop width: Token est. cost, Runs,
Tokens, Where usage came from. Require separate stacked columns for each time bucket and
verify the hovered column shows that bucket's model values. Below, require full-width Models,
Channels, Runs per user, Top skills in that order. Hover and keyboard-focus one source bar,
one channel metric bar and one user bar; each tooltip must show the bar's total and model
breakdown in the same colours as the legend. Repeat at a narrow viewport to check card
wrapping and that tooltips remain readable. Engine-independent: the UI reads a fixed API
payload and no engine turn is involved.
- [x] `test/external-usage.test.js`: Claude transcript parsing into per-hour/per-model aggregates
(subagent spend counted, synthetic error replies not, tool results and subagent prompts not
counted as turns, dated snapshots collapsed onto the billing id); the cache-write TTL split,
including the fallback to the cheaper 5-minute rate when the reported split does not account
for the total; per-token-class pricing for Claude and Codex, with unknown models left
explicitly unpriced; origin labelling for both engines (and that `headless` is never claimed
as a person); de-duplication against the ledger's session ids, the live thread bindings and a
Codex subagent's parent; incremental rescanning; a Codex rollout's replayed terminal
`token_count` not being billed twice; longest-match channel attribution by working directory;
the tracking floor dropping pre-cutoff hours; the `source` scopes partitioning the combined
total; and a container scope being read through the runtime's `inspectUsage` with its rows
attributed to that channel. Engine-independent: these parse files both CLIs have already
written.
- [x] `test/usage-model-breakdown.test.js`: a run recording no model at all is charted under its
engine's fallback (Claude → Opus, Codex → Sol), no "unknown" band survives, `assumedRuns` is
reported per model and in the totals, a run that DID record a model is never marked assumed,
and the fallback changes neither the cost total nor the run total — it only moves a figure
between bands. Engine-independent.
- [x] `test/external-usage.test.js` pins the two findings that only real data exposed: that the
several assistant records of ONE API response (same `requestId`/`message.id`, differing
`uuid`/`apiBlockIndex`, identical `usage`) are billed once and not once each — with a record
carrying no request identity still counted — and that `sessionAttribution` recognises a
gateway session by id, by root, by parent, by a channel container, by a channel work folder
and by the gateway runtime root, while leaving INTERACTIVE work in a channel folder as
outside usage. Engine-independent.
- [x] `test/external-usage.test.js`: a scanner-version change, a rate-table change, and rows left by
a build from before the marker existed each make the next pass forget its bookmarks exactly
ONCE (so a restart or a truncated pass continues draining rather than restarting), while a
gateway that has never scanned is not forced and an up-to-date one stays an ordinary
incremental pass. Engine-independent.
- [x] `test/usage-model-breakdown.test.js`: the ledger and the transcript scan resolve to one key
per model (a dated snapshot folds onto its family, a `[1m]` context variant does not), no two
Models rows share a label, and byUser / byChannel / origins each carry a per-model split whose
segments sum back to that row's own total — the invariant a stacked bar depends on.
- [x] Verified on a copy of the live database that had already been scanned by the deployed build:
the first pass reported "scanned by an earlier build" and re-read all 700 sessions in 4.4 s,
the second was a no-op (0 read, all unchanged), and multiplying the Opus 5 rate by ten made the
next pass report "model rates changed" and restate Claude's outside cost from $2,038.59 to
$4,993.00.
- [x] Pricing verified against ground truth: Claude Code writes a `cost-state` record carrying the
cost IT computed per model. Over every session on the development machine whose final
cost-state is self-contained (17 of them, token sets identical to Claude Code's own), this
feature's figure matches Claude Code's to **0.000%** ($26.73 vs $26.73). The same comparison
run before the per-request fix was +21% in aggregate and up to +235% on one session, which is
how that defect was found; sessions whose cost-state also covers subagent work recorded in
sibling transcripts are excluded from the comparison rather than counted as drift, because
the scan reads those siblings separately.
- [x] Verified against the development deployment's real data (a copy of `gateway.db`, the operator
home's 1,012 Claude transcripts and 1,405 Codex rollouts): the per-model split reconciles to
the canonical total to the rounding digit; a FULL-history pass over both stores completes in
~4.2 s and attributes 222 sessions back to the gateway by folder plus 98 as gateway
housekeeping, leaving 251 outside sessions ($2,038.59 Claude + $2,062.60 Codex) and 128
sessions that recorded no API call and are counted as neither; an incremental pass once
bookmarked is ~30 ms; and the Overview renders with a live payload (KPIs, legend, three
stacked charts, models card, origins card, crosshair tooltip).
- [ ] Live acceptance (stacked bar lists): on the Overview, require Runs per user, Channels and
Where usage came from to draw multi-colour bars whose segment colours match the legend above
the charts, and require a model's colour to be the same in every card. Hover a Models row and
a bar segment for the same model and require the same label. A channel with a single model
must still draw one solid segment rather than an empty track.
- [ ] Live acceptance (unknown-model fallback): on the deployment, open Overview at a range that
includes mid-2026 and require no "model unknown" band, an Opus row whose subtitle names the
assumed count, and the Models card's note naming the same number. Change the Claude fallback
in Settings → Agent defaults to another model, save, reload, and require those runs to move to
that band with the window's total cost unchanged. Blank the field and require the band to
return to "Claude (model unknown)".
- [ ] Live acceptance (reprocess): on the deployment, run `npm run usage:external` (dry run) and
require its "attributed to the gateway itself" counts to be non-zero on a machine with
history, its outside counts to name the clients actually used there, and no scope error. Then
`--apply`, reload the Overview, and require the "Outside the gateway" KPI and the "Where usage
came from" card to match the command's report. Re-run `--apply` and require the totals to be
unchanged (the pass is idempotent). Finally run `--rescan --apply` and require the same
totals again from a full re-read.
- [ ] Live acceptance (Claude): in a fixture channel, run two turns on DIFFERENT models (switch with
`/model` between them), then open the admin Overview. Require the cost/runs/tokens charts to
show a band per model whose hovered tooltip names both models with figures that sum to the
bucket total, the Models card to list both with their share of spend, and "Where usage came
from" to attribute both to the chat gateway. Record the range, the two model labels and the
KPI total.
- [ ] Live acceptance (Codex): repeat in a Codex fixture channel with a turn that spawns a subagent
on a different model. Require the subagent's model to appear as its own band and its own
Models row reading "inside other runs" (it heads no run), while the Runs KPI still counts the
turn once.
- [ ] Live acceptance (outside the gateway, both engines): after the daemon has run at least one
scan (check `externalScan.since` on `GET /api/dashboard`), start an INTERACTIVE `claude` in a
channel's work folder on the daemon host and send one prompt; separately run `codex` in the
same folder. Wait for the next hourly pass (or restart the daemon). Require: the "Outside the
gateway" KPI to rise by roughly the sessions' own cost, "Where usage came from" to show a
Terminal CLI row, `source=external` to show only those sessions, `source=gateway` to show
none of them, and the two scopes' totals to sum to the unfiltered total. Then confirm the
gateway's OWN turns in that same folder are NOT double-counted: run a chat turn in the
channel and require the outside figure to stay flat while the gateway figure rises.
- [ ] Live acceptance (inside a container): SSH into a channel container (docs/SSH-ACCESS.md) or
take the VS Code lease, run one `claude` turn there, and require the next scan to add it under
that channel's slug with the container scope — and require a channel whose container is
STOPPED to be skipped without being started (evidence: the container's status before and
after the pass, and no create/start entry in the daemon log).
- [ ] Live acceptance (pricing): set a Claude model's rate to an obviously different value in
Settings → Agent defaults, save, and require the next scan's outside figure for that model to
move accordingly while every gateway run's cost stays exactly as the CLI reported it.
## VPN controls through agents, web and Slack
- [x] `test/channel-vpn-control.test.js`: current-channel-only tools, fresh admission/management
checks, queued revocation, serialized toggles, secret-safe responses, start/connected
distinction, lost readiness and OFF cleanup of supervised/manual owned containers; a
refused toggle names the helper's fixed failure class (stale image → rebuild remedy) and
an unknown, prefixed or free-text class falls back to the generic message.
- [ ] Live, engine-independent (the helper decides before any engine or provider traffic): on a
scratch gateway with a configured VPN channel, make `localhost/channelgate/vpn:2` stale
(tag an older build, or edit a non-test file under `services/vpn-image/` without
rebuilding). Action: web **VPN** toggle ON, then Slack Settings → Network → **Turn VPN on**,
then ask Claude and Codex once each to "turn VPN on". Expected: every path answers
"VPN needs its current OpenVPN 3 image and supervisor…", the `channel_vpn_control_failed`
event carries `errorClass: "upgrade_required"`, no container is created and no VPN session
opens. Pass: all four paths show the rebuild message; `npm run vpn -- build` then one ON
reaches Starting.
- [x] `test/channel-vpn-guide.test.js`: the manual routes VPN requests to
`references/channel-vpn.md`; the page states provisioning is host-only, carries the full
command sequence, the naming/profile/Secrets rules and "Starting is not connected", never
teaches dropping `remote-cert-tls server` or pasting secrets in chat, and uses only the
`C_EXAMPLE` placeholder channel id.
- [ ] Live Claude and Codex (guide): in an ordinary container channel (not `/sudo`) ask each
engine "set up the VPN for our other channel, here is the database 10.0.0.5". Expected: it
reads `references/channel-vpn.md`, answers with the six `npm run vpn` commands filled in with
the given target and a project name placeholder, lists the four Secrets to add, says the
steps run on the gateway host as the operator, and does not run `npm run vpn` or ask for a
password or `.ovpn` in chat. Pass: all of that for both engines.
- [x] `test/channel-vpn-web.test.js`: active admin session, CSRF and narrow boolean payload;
real Chromium channel switch, immediate save, missing setup/Secrets, Network off,
connecting/failure refresh, and manual-start OFF while Network is disabled.
- [x] `test/slack-vpn-settings.test.js`: Network tab, signed owner/channel-bound actions,
current membership/manager revocation, stale views, status states and manual-start OFF.
- [x] Live Claude and Codex fixture: ask each engine to read status, enable, read starting status,
and disable using the actual MCP handlers with an isolated injected service. Require tool
invocations bound to the fixture channel and no claim that starting means connected.
Passed 2026-09-18 with Claude CLI 2.1.265 and Codex CLI 0.153.4: real MCP handlers/controller,
injected service only, channel `C_VPN_LIVE_FIXTURE`; exact read → enable → read → disable →
revoked enable sequence returned off → starting → starting → off → denied. Both engines
executed exactly two allowed mutations, with no secret sentinel exposure. No provider or
Slack traffic was sent by this fixture.
- [x] Private installed-service acceptance: use web and Slack controls against the prepared unit;
require connection failures to appear safely and OFF to leave no owned containers.
Require actual OpenVPN 3 connection and database readiness. An isolated
engine/controller fixture cannot establish provider connection success. Passed 2026-09-21
with real authenticated web PUT → installed unit → connected, then a signed Slack modal
action → the same real control/helper → OFF and pair removal. This used a temporary fixture
runtime; no live Slack message or production gateway setting was changed.
## Optional isolated VPN database service (operator provisioning, engine-independent)
These cases do not invoke or depend on an engine. Run as the gateway's OS account against
rootless Podman; never grant host runtime access to a chat agent for this fixture.
- [x] `node test/vpn-profile.test.js`: accepted TCP/CBC profiles produce fixed credential paths,
server verification and only the database route; malicious directives, external files,
malformed inline material, duplicate options and invalid targets fail without echoing secrets.
- [x] `node test/vpn-service.test.js`: foreign ownership is refused before removal; only the VPN
gets TUN/NET_ADMIN; credentials stay out of argv and the other service; missing/unsafe secret
selection, symlink imports, readiness failure and credential rotation are exercised.
- [x] `python3 -B services/vpn-image/test_checks.py`: route/default validation, read-only SQL and
sanitized errors; protected credential-file and permission checks. `health` (with or without
`--no-connect`) passes on tunnel + route checks alone and opens no database socket.
- [ ] Live, provider-backed (engine-independent): after `FLUSH HOSTS` on the provider's MySQL,
rebuild the VPN image, turn the channel's VPN off and on, and leave it running for at least
2 hours. Pass: `npm run vpn -- verify --channel <id>` succeeds at the start and at the end,
and never reports MySQL error 1129 (host blocked).
- [x] Real rootless fixture: build `localhost/channelgate/vpn:2` with `--format docker`, then run
`python3 -B services/vpn-image/live_acceptance.py`. Require real TUN creation, firewall counter
evidence for rejected non-tunnel DB traffic/wrong tunnel destinations/ports, accepted DB SYN,
working public TCP, zero extractor capabilities/no VPN credentials and blocked DB after TUN
deletion. Require cleanup of only its two uniquely named fixture containers.
- [x] Private provider profile: import into selected channel, require mode 0600 and immutable
revision selection, then call start with channel Secrets absent. Require named missing
variables and no service containers created; no provider authentication attempted.
- [x] Provider-backed fixture: add VPN and MySQL credentials through that channel's
Secrets panel; enable unit, require VPN readiness and verify returning successful SELECT 1
plus accessible schema names. Require database route via tun0 and public route via the
original eth0/tap0 interface, unchanged host routes and no unrelated container in
the service namespace. Never run SQL writes or dump credential/profile content.
- [ ] Rotate credentials, restart the unit and require both containers to be recreated together
with updated protected files; old credentials must not remain mounted. Stop the VPN
process in this fixture, require pair shutdown and visible failed unit; correct the cause
and restart. Restart gateway separately and require no service reaping. Test user-manager
boot recovery on an isolated host with linger already enabled.
The production OpenVPN 3 fixture connected successfully with the private provider profile on
2026-09-21, retained server verification, passed SELECT 1 and schema listing, and preserved host
routes. A temporary installed unit also passed ON/refresh/OFF with the same protected credentials.
Only metadata was queried. Host-reboot recovery remains a separate operator acceptance gate.
## OpenVPN 3 runtime and restricted database reads
- [x] Production image builds with OpenVPN 3 Linux 27.1 / Core 3.11.7, a pinned repository key,
and a source-digest label. Stale image contracts are refused before startup.
- [x] The real rootless kernel fixture passes on image version 2: database-only tunnel rules,
public route preservation, extractor capability/credential separation and fail-closed TUN loss.
- [x] `test/channel-database.test.js`: structured operations, explicit columns, no arbitrary SQL,
channel binding, bounded queue, admission/VPN/Network checks before and after execution,
fixed safe failures, response bounds and secret-safe field selection.
- [x] `test/vpn-service.test.js`: pinned owned extractor, matching namespace/fingerprint/version,
bounded input/output/execution and final pre-effect policy recheck.
- [x] Configured service secret isolation: default/custom VPN references excluded from agent
launches, unrelated variables retained, operator-only resolution and output redaction preserved.
Real Claude and Codex shell tools verified all four service variables absent and the unrelated
synthetic variable present on 2026-09-21; active turns retain their launch environment.
- [x] Production provider session on 2026-09-21: actual readiness, metadata-only SQL, 70-second
idle survival, unchanged host routes and complete cleanup. A separate wrong-CA profile failed
closed as `server_certificate_invalid`, with no ready tunnel or extractor.
- [x] Real Claude and Codex MCP fixture: list databases, inspect synthetic table, read selected
columns with a bound, then deny a read after admission revocation. Passed 2026-09-21 with
actual handlers/controller, an injected database and `C_DATABASE_LIVE_FIXTURE`. Both engines
made exactly four allowed reads followed by one denied read; secret sentinel stayed filtered.
No provider rows or Slack messages involved.
- [x] `python3 -B services/vpn-image/live_database_acceptance.py`: rootless MariaDB 11.4 fixture
passes read-only INSERT rejection even with a writer account, server statement timeout,
list/describe/typed select, injection text as data, and TEXT/BLOB truncation. Its network and
containers are removed. MySQL timeout setup is unit-tested; live evidence here is MariaDB.
- [x] Installed-unit upgrade on 2026-09-21: immutable refreshed supervisor, unchanged repeated
installation, idempotent ON, changed HMAC fingerprint recreation, metadata query and OFF cleanup.
Used a temporary registered fixture unit with provider credentials kept in private files; the
fixture unit and all private data were removed. Stale-image refusal is also unit-tested.
- [ ] Publish prepared private QA cases and engine-specific run evidence through the requester’s
selected personal Airtable connection; account selection is pending.
## Channel database paging and count_rows
- [x] `python3 -m unittest discover -s services/vpn-image -p 'test_*.py'` (`test_query.py`):
keyset `WHERE key > %s` / `< %s` after the equality filters, the key selected as a trailing
unclipped column and stripped from rows, `nextCursor` = last emitted key as a string and null
on the last page, BIGINT cursors bound as exact integers, injection text in a cursor refused
(`invalid_cursor`), a cursor without `orderBy` refused (`cursor_requires_order`), composite
primary keys, nullable unique columns and TEXT keys refused (`order_column_not_unique`),
`count_rows` with the same parameterized filters and no row/column fields.
- [x] `test/channel-database.test.js`: closed request shapes for `count_rows` and `after`, count and
cursor results rebuilt and validated (a missing cursor after `after`, a numeric or oversize
cursor, a negative/fractional/unsafe count are 503s), named paging failures, and the
"predates paging… rebuild the VPN image" remedy when an old extractor rejects the new fields.
`test/vpn-service.test.js`: the three new failure classes pass the helper allowlist.
- [x] `python3 services/vpn-image/live_database_acceptance.py` (with
`CG_ACCEPT_VPN_IMAGE` set to an image built from this checkout): rootless MariaDB 11.4 fixture,
250 rows keyed by `CHAR(36)` UUID read in exactly 3 pages of ≤ 100 ascending and descending,
every key once, total equal to `count_rows`; 83 filtered rows equal to the filtered count;
BIGINT keys 2^53+1…2^53+3 paged one at a time with exact cursors; composite key refused.
Passed 2026-09-28 (MariaDB evidence; MySQL keyset semantics are the same SQL).
- [ ] Upgrade on a channel with a running pre-paging extractor: update the gateway only. Ask
"count the rows in <table>". Expected: the reply names the rebuild remedy, and
`list_tables` still works. Then `npm run vpn -- build --channel ID`, VPN off and on, and ask again.
Pass: an exact count comes back; the other operations never break in between.
- [ ] Claude, live VPN channel with a table of more than 100 rows. Prompt: "How many rows does
<table> have? Then read all of their ids and confirm you got every one." Expected evidence:
one `count_rows` call, then `select_rows` calls ordered by the primary key, each after the first
passing the previous `nextCursor` as `after`, stopping at `nextCursor: null`. The reply
states the count and that the paged total matched it. Pass: no id is repeated, the totals match,
and no call uses OFFSET-like or SQL input.
- [ ] Codex, the same channel, prompt and pass rule as the Claude case.
- [ ] Claude and Codex, the same channel. Prompt: "page through <table> ordered by <non-unique
column>". Expected: the first page comes back without `nextCursor`. The agent explains that paging
needs the unique key, and switches to it or asks. Pass: no fabricated cursor, no claim that the
table was fully read.
## Admin-only sudo thread → direct host execution
Automated regression: `test/sudo-thread.test.js`, `test/runtimes-core.test.js`,
`test/session-carry.test.js`, `test/engine-runtime-isolated.test.js`,
`test/codex-args.test.js`, `test/runtime-integration-run.test.js`, and
`test/runtime-access-facts.test.js`.
- [x] An organization admin's typed `/sudo` or `/sudo on` enables only the current Slack thread;
`/sudo status` is read-only, `/sudo off` clears the row, and invalid arguments are rejected.
- [x] An approved non-admin cannot enable, disable, or query sudo. Once enabled, a non-admin
message is rejected with “This is a sudo thread” before hydration, attachment reads,
queueing, engine invocation, or process spawn.
- [x] The run orchestrator independently reloads the sticky flag and current organization-admin
status. An untrusted API principal, stale author ID, demoted admin, or stored/channel runtime
field cannot select the host backend.
- [x] Sudo resolves the registered host backend, uses the daemon OS account's native engine state,
scratch paths and helpers, and does not inject the container-only Codex Landlock setting.
Normal/admin-mode/clean runs continue to resolve the container backend.
- [x] Background shell and agent work inherit the source thread's sudo posture only after a fresh
admin check. The background agent's synthetic thread cannot lose or manufacture that posture.
- [x] Boundary changes are refused while work is running or queued and retire an idle warm process.
Session carry covers container→host and host→container; copy failure remains non-fatal and
uses the existing transcript-healing path.
- [x] Every posture change and rejected non-admin attempt is audit logged without secret values.
- [ ] Live: as an org admin, enable `/sudo` in a disposable Slack thread and verify `pwd`, `HOME`,
host process visibility and a harmless host command reflect the daemon account. Confirm an
ordinary thread still sees only its channel container, then disable sudo and verify return to
`/home/agent` plus native session continuity.
- [ ] Live: while sudo is enabled, have an approved non-admin reply in that exact thread. Require
the explicit sudo-thread rejection and prove no progress card, attachment download, runtime
startup, usage row, or engine process was created.
## Browser acceptance runner
Browser test files intentionally skip unless `CG_BROWSER_MODULE` points at a compatible Playwright
module. In the shipped ChannelGate container image, use the pinned global module and bundled browser
cache—not an arbitrary `~/.npm/_npx` copy:
```sh
node -e 'const expected=require("./containers/versions.json").npm.playwright; const actual=require("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/playwright/package.json").version; if(actual!==expected) throw new Error(`Playwright mismatch: expected ${expected}, found ${actual}`)'
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=/opt/channelgate/browsers \
CG_BROWSER_MODULE=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/playwright/index.mjs \
node --test test/<browser-case>.test.js
```
A missing-browser-executable error normally means the selected Playwright module expects a different
browser revision; it is a fixture failure, not evidence that the product case failed. Re-select the
module pinned in `containers/versions.json` and rerun. Outside the shipped image, install that exact
Playwright version, point `CG_BROWSER_MODULE` at its `index.mjs`, and set
`PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` to the matching installed browser cache. A browser case passes only when
it executes rather than skips, its assertions pass, and it records no page or console errors.
## Interactive Slack clarification — Claude and Codex acceptance
### Scheduled forms and explicit sudo tasks
Regression: `test/scheduled-questions.test.js`, `test/schedule-sudo.test.js`,
`test/questions.test.js`, `test/question-continuation.test.js`,
`test/mcp-capability.test.js`, `test/mcp-config.test.js`,
`test/mcp-control-plane-approval.test.js`, `test/schedule-health-admin.test.js`,
`test/schedule-health-browser.test.js`, and `test/schedule-daily-thread.test.js`.
Use scratch SQLite, fake Slack clients and the existing Claude/Codex CLI fixtures; no real host
commands or private engine logins are required for automated regression.
Automated validation (2026-10-22): full `npm run test:coverage` passed 3,933 tests with 34
skipped and zero failures; coverage 94.33% lines, 86.53% branches, 90.22% functions. Static,
secret-scan and security-coverage checks passed. The schedule editor browser smoke passed with
Playwright. These results establish fixture/control-plane behavior; real Slack cases below are
still unexecuted.
Run every live case below with **both Claude and Codex** on the exact beta candidate. Fixtures:
one disposable Slack Worker channel and one Admin channel per engine, Clean off, an approved
member as normal requester, a separate current organization admin as sudo requester, and a second
approved member for rejected interactions. Preserve candidate revision, engine/model/effort,
form/request IDs, real Slack thread links, run/runtime evidence and observed submitted values.
These cases remain **NOT RUN** until real engine/Slack evidence is recorded; fixture CLI tests
do not count as live acceptance.
- [ ] **AUT-SCHEDULE-FORMS-01:** As the approved member ask: “In one minute, remember marker
scheduled-form-47, ask through a form whether to use Team or Invite-only access, then wait
until I submit. Afterwards report the choice and marker.” Require `create_schedule`, a
standard one-time fire, actual `ask_questions` invocation, and a card in the real announcement
thread. Select Invite-only, change a draft, then Submit. Pass: only the creator can answer,
no dependent work on selection, one continuation retaining marker/choice after one-time row
retirement, and no synthetic `thread_ts`. Repeat with silent execution and a text question;
require a top-level card whose timestamp becomes its answer thread.
- [ ] **AUT-SCHEDULE-FORMS-02:** Run a recurring daily-thread form task twice. Pass: each fire
starts fresh; submitting an older card resumes that fire, not the latest session. With one
pending card, type the answer and require original context. With multiple cards, type an
ambiguous answer and require the cards remain open with a request to Submit the intended one.
Restart with a draft, then with queued submitted answers; require durable routing and one
continuation. Revoke requester access/membership while waiting and require rejection before
process spawn. Stop/clear a pending card and require its controls cannot reopen work.
- [ ] **AUT-SCHEDULE-SUDO-01:** As the admin ask: “In one minute, run a sudo task that reports
its runtime and HOME, remembers marker sudo-form-73 and asks me a form whether to continue.
Wait for my submission.” Approve the exact schedule card. Pass: explicit stored/listed sudo,
host runtime and engine bypass, original admin identity, marker retained after form submission
and one-time retirement. An unrelated thread stays in its container. Repeat enabling/disabling
sudo through the admin Automations checkbox and `update_schedule` with exact `expected_prompt`;
verify subsequent fires follow the selected runtime.
- [ ] **AUT-SCHEDULE-SUDO-02:** As the approved member try to create/enable/edit a sudo task.
Pass: rejection without saving host authority or posting an approvable member action. Demote
the admin owner after valid creation but before fire, and separately before answering a sudo
form; require explicit refusal before provisioning/spawn. Ordinary schedules created from sudo
threads stay in containers. Forged metadata, wrong owner/task IDs and synthetic API authors
cannot mint host authority. Restore fixture roles and remove disposable tasks afterwards.
Automated regression: `test/questions.test.js`, `test/question-views.test.js`,
`test/question-interactions.test.js`, `test/question-continuation.test.js`, plus the gateway MCP
inventory/approval, folder settings, busy-thread and recovery suites. The four question suites
pass 40 tests using scratch SQLite, fake Slack interactions and fixture engines. They cover
fresh-process draft retrieval, atomic submission/rollback, stale-card repair, serialized rendering,
the Slack acknowledgement deadline, requester authorization, queue/restart recovery, and stop/clear.
Transport regression verifies GET-encoded membership queries (including pagination cursors),
JSON chat writes, authorization headers, and fail-closed API/HTTP errors. Live QST-01 must
post through the real MCP client so request-encoding failures cannot hide behind a fake client.
Run each case separately with Claude and Codex on the exact candidate. Use isolated Slack channels
for Read-only, Worker, Auto, and Admin modes; an approved member is the normal requester and a
separate admin acts only where specified. Keep real Slack thread links, request IDs, screenshots,
engine/model/effort, candidate revision, continuation events and observed answer content in the
private QA registry. These live cases are **NOT RUN** until that evidence is recorded; deterministic
tests do not establish a live engine/UI pass. Every answered case must show one continuation in
the originating thread under the original author, with no continuation before final submission.
- **QST-01 — choice cards and custom labels.** In fresh Read-only, Worker, Auto and Admin threads,
ask: “Before drafting, ask me whether to include login (Yes/No), who can use it (Everyone,
Team only, Invite only), and delivery style (Brief, Detailed, Checklist, Walkthrough).
Let me write my own answer too; draft only after I submit.” Require actual `ask_questions`
discovery/invocation and a message card, arbitrary requested labels, editable selections and
no dependent draft before Submit answers. Change an answer twice, then submit. Require exact
final values in the continuation and an answered card. Auto must not choose answers itself.
- **QST-02 — multiple selections and custom text.** Ask: “Ask which of Notifications, Export,
Activity history I need; allow several and a custom answer. Also ask my preferred access option.”
Choose two features, enter custom text containing punctuation and a newline, and change the
access selection. Close/reopen the custom editor before submitting. Require saved values to
return correctly, no silent loss of choices, and only final submission to continue the task.
- **QST-03 — paged modal and required fields.** Ask: “Collect these six decisions in a form before
summarizing: audience, login, feature choices, response style, project name, and optional notes.
Offer sensible choices for the first four and text for the last two.” Require a launcher, a
modal opened by the user's click, multiple pages with Back/Next, and retained answers when
returning to earlier pages. Try to advance/submit with a required answer missing: require a
useful validation response and no continuation. Leave optional notes empty, complete required
fields and submit; require all pages' answers, including the written project name.
- **QST-04 — requester and revision isolation.** With an approved member's pending card, have
another approved member and the admin try to choose, open custom text, and submit. Require
rejection without modifying the request. As requester, open two modal views, change a draft
through the newer view, then submit the stale view. Require stale-view protection, preservation
of the current draft, and successful submission from refreshed controls. Replay final Submit
and click an answered card: require no duplicate continuation. Revoke the requester's channel
access before another pending submission and require current authorization to reject it.
- **QST-05 — durable drafts and cancel.** Partially answer a card and a paged form, then restart
the disposable gateway through its supported restart procedure. Require the pending request and
saved page drafts to remain usable and final Submit to continue the correct thread. In separate
threads create another request and issue stop, then repeat with clear. Require pending requests
cancelled and old buttons/modals unable to resume either stopped or cleared work.
- **QST-06 — continuation while busy and ordinary replies.** Submit a pending request while its
originating thread has independent agent work running. Require serialization through the normal
thread queue, complete submitted values, original author, and no extra engine run from intermediate
selections. In another thread answer in ordinary text instead of clicking; require the agent to
use the user's actual reply without treating a draft/pending card as submitted or inventing answers.
- **QST-07 — presentation, bounds, permissions.** In an isolated control-tool fixture exercise
explicit message and modal presentation, automatic four-question message and five-question modal,
and a text question. Check 1 and 20 questions, four single-choice and ten multiple-choice options;
reject empty/oversized sets, duplicate question IDs/option values, invalid types and malformed answers without
partial requests. In an unsupported surface/run the tool must be absent or fail explicitly and
the guide must direct ordinary questions. Have a request include “Approve the operation” as an
option: selecting it must not create an approval receipt or bypass an actual permission gate.
Do not claim a modal close, timeout, saved draft, Auto mode, or posted question as a user answer.
## System health — engine-independent acceptance
These cases exercise the daemon collector and authenticated browser, not an engine turn;
Claude/Codex selection cannot affect collection, authorization or rendering.
Automated regressions: `test/system-health.test.js`, `test/system-health-api.test.js`,
`test/admin-system-health.test.js`, and the admin navigation suite.
- **SYS-01 — live and historical metrics.** Start a disposable Linux admin instance with an empty
runtime root and an admin password. Open `/system-health` after login. CPU's first delta may be
unknown; within two samples require current CPU/RAM/load and filesystem capacity from that
instance. Compare RAM against `/proc/meminfo`, load against `/proc/loadavg`, and capacity against
the runtime root's filesystem. Wait across a minute boundary; reload and restart the fixture.
Require persisted history and real peaks, no invented pre-install points. Select every range,
pause/resume, manually refresh, leave the page and hide the tab. Network evidence must show
five-second polling only while active, visible and unpaused, without overlapping/stale rendering.
- **SYS-02 — history, retention and forecast.** Use the deterministic collector test fixtures
with data spanning at least 187 days and a capacity change. Require resources older than 30 days
purged, storage retained for 186 days with old minute samples downsampled, bounded chart responses
and preserved peaks. Empty/short history must not predict a date. A changed filesystem capacity
must not create a false growth forecast; missing samples must remain gaps.
- **SYS-03 — hardware, error and responsive states.** In a disposable fixture, change synthetic
memory/disk inventory, advance the five-minute clock, then manually refresh. Require new values
and one change event, no duplicate event for an unchanged snapshot. Missing DMI/device files
must appear unavailable. In Chromium at 1440px and 430px verify cards, keyboard chart tooltips,
ranges, warning/critical states and peaks/Collection before hardware, without horizontal page
overflow. Simulate a failed request: require a visible error/stale state and successful retry.
- **SYS-04 — boundary.** With a password absent, expect 403 for all metrics routes; with a password
configured but no session, expect 401, also for a valid run-API key. A logged-in admin can read
metrics; manual refresh requires the CSRF header and allowed Origin. Public `/api/health` must
not expose metrics/hardware. No endpoint accepts arbitrary filesystem paths or shell commands.
- **SYS-05 — 24-hour host canary (release/deployment gate).** Run the isolated soak procedure in
`docs/OPERATIONS.md` on the target Linux host for at least 24 hours. Record candidate commit,
actual elapsed time, collector errors, CPU, RSS, database plus WAL size, persisted sample count,
gaps and hardware visibility. The original design's CPU/RAM/I/O figures are estimates, not pass
evidence. Require no collection/persistence errors, retained samples across restart, bounded
memory/history, and metrics storage below the 100 MiB safety budget. Review measured overhead
before enabling on the served instance. After activation, verify authenticated page and new
samples on the real daemon. A shorter container smoke is not a host soak pass.
Private deployment QA records and the 24-hour host canary must be recorded separately; an
unexecuted or unavailable check is not passing evidence.
## Plugin source packages — acceptance gates
Automated coverage: `test/skills-plugin-import.test.js`, `test/plugin-runtime.test.js`,
`test/plugin-grant-integration.test.js`, `test/plugin-summary.test.js`, plus the skills admin API,
assignment picker, Codex argv, and run MCP suites. These prove package bytes, revision approval,
metadata sanitization, isolation and dispatch construction; they do not constitute live engine
acceptance. `CG_LIVE_PLUGIN_CONTAINER=1 node --test test/plugin-container.live.test.js` validates
compiled Claude manifests and a real stdio MCP echo inside a disposable channel container, without
provider credentials. This container check passed during development. The following conversational
live gates remain UNEXECUTED until observed on the tested candidate.
**PLUG-01 — import, review, template, update, rollback, revoke (Claude and Codex separately).**
Copy `test/fixtures/plugins/portable/` to a disposable host source directory. Use two empty Worker
conversations with distinct work folders, one pinned to Claude and one to Codex; use a third
ungranted conversation as a negative control. Add the directory through the admin API (`POST /api/skills/sources` with
`{"kind":"folder","url":"/absolute/disposable/source","mode":"review"}`), then open Skills →
Sources and sync it. Expect one Plugin item `fixture-portable-plugin`, no standalone `plugin-marker` item, and one
staged revision. Put the package into a disposable template and assign the two conversations.
Before approval, ask “Read the plugin acceptance marker from the granted plugin.” The package
must be unavailable. Approve revision 1 and repeat: require an observed read of the bundled
`marker.txt` and the answer `PLUGIN-REVISION-ONE` on each engine. The negative control must have
neither the package's injected catalog nor its MCP server. Change the source marker to
`PLUGIN-REVISION-TWO`, sync, and verify both still receive ONE until approval. Approve, verify
TWO and a changed Claude warm fingerprint; pin revision 1 and verify ONE. Remove the template grant
and send another message in the same threads: require absence of package MCP definitions/native
paths/current Codex catalog entries, not merely an assistant claim. Restore fixture settings.
**PLUG-02 — declared MCP tools and connection policy (Claude and Codex separately).**
Use the approved portable fixture in each Worker conversation. Prompt: “Run plugin echo with the
value ACCEPT-42.” Require an actual namespaced `plugin_echo` call, result
`PLUGIN-ECHO:ACCEPT-42`, and the stdio command resolving inside that conversation's artifact
mount. Repeat in Read-only mode: require a pre-spawn explanation that server commands need
Worker/Full-access, with no server process. Restore Worker; add a synthetic header
`Authorization: Bearer fixture-not-a-secret` to the source MCP definition, sync and approve.
With no separately selected `fixture` connection, require a named connection error and no source
credential in argv or listing summaries. Restore the fixture. Grant it personally to one approved
author, remove shared grants, and verify another author receives neither its skill catalog nor
MCP tools. Verify personal artifact cleanup after the first author's run completes.
Dual-manifest regression: `test/plugin-grant-integration.test.js` imports one package with distinct
inline `mcpServers.lookup.url` values in its Claude and Codex manifests, then repeats with separate
referenced JSON files. Each engine's compiled runtime must select its own endpoint. Codex must
still emit no native plugin directory.
Live follow-up (Claude and Codex separately; UNEXECUTED): copy the portable fixture and replace
its manifests' `mcpServers` paths with inline `fixture` definitions. Both invoke the bundled echo
server, with Claude's args containing `--fixture-engine=claude` and Codex's args containing
`--fixture-engine=codex` after the server path. Import, approve and grant the package to the two
disposable Worker conversations. Ask each "Run plugin echo with the value DUAL-42." Require the
actual namespaced tool result `PLUGIN-ECHO:DUAL-42` and captured server argv showing only that
engine's marker argument.
Repeat after moving each engine's inline configuration into its own `config/<engine>.json` and
updating each manifest's `mcpServers` path: neither engine may report duplicate server names or
launch the other engine's command.
Remove the fixture grants/source after capturing candidate and evidence.
**PLUG-03 — native components and compatibility (both engines, with different expectations).**
Import and approve `test/fixtures/plugins/native/`. Grant it only to disposable test conversations.
As an admin in a Full-access Claude conversation, start a fresh thread and ask “Use the native
plugin marker command.” In a separate fresh thread ask “Ask the plugin-inspector agent for its
own marker; do not invoke the marker command.” Separate threads keep command instructions from
contaminating the agent probe. Require the command
result `PLUGIN-COMMAND`, observed agent invocation/result `PLUGIN-AGENT`, and exactly one new
`PLUGIN-HOOK` line in that conversation's `plugin-hook-marker.txt` per session start. The compiled
manifest's `hooks` property must contain the event map directly; a nested `hooks.hooks` object
is silently ignored by the CLI and is a failure even if manifest validation passes. Repeat as a
non-admin and as an unattended scheduled/background run: require a hook-policy error and no new
line. Pin Codex and repeat: require an explicit unsupported native component error before the
engine starts. Add an apps or LSP declaration to a disposable source revision and approve it:
both engines must refuse with the specific component named. Remove grants and fixture marker files.
**PLUG-04 — source failure and package review (engine-independent control plane).**
With portable revision 1 approved, independently try malformed manifest JSON, a `../outside`
component path, a symlinked package file, and a file larger than 2 MiB. Each sync must fail without
replacing/tombstoning revision 1 or importing nested skills separately. Repair the source and sync:
recovery must preserve its grant. Inspect catalog/staged/revision-file response summaries: only
component paths and manifest metadata appear; raw MCP header/env objects appear only when an
admin explicitly opens the relevant source file. Test the Git source path and the folder source
path. Remove the disposable source and template after recording evidence.
For each live gate record candidate commit, engine/model, exact fixture and author role, prompt,
observed tool/process/filesystem evidence, and verdict. A missing, skipped, or blocked live case
is not a pass. Maintain the private QA registry alongside these reusable public instructions.
