Five findings from the #939 review, each reproduced before being fixed.
**Configuration reads are as privileged as writes.** `settings.describe`
returns every exposed namespace's configuration and `credentials.describe`
reports whether an arbitrary environment-variable name is configured and from
where — reconnaissance no anonymous caller should have. Both join
PRIVILEGED_METHODS, so the whole configuration plane is loopback-only until
real authentication exists; `trustedHosts` was never authentication. The model
catalog stays reachable: it carries no endpoints or key state, and a LAN
client's model picker legitimately needs it. Asserted over a real HTTP server,
because the Host header a browser actually sends is what decides this.
**The proxy serves only namespaces a registered model provider addresses.**
The settings seam is general — any plugin may register one — but the Web
configuration plane is the model-provider surface. Without the gate, every
future `settings.register()` would silently become remotely readable and
writable configuration. An unregistered namespace and an unexposed one answer
identically, so no caller can enumerate the registry one probe at a time.
**Path-addressed writes replace the redacted-document rebuild.** The editor
reads the REDACTED descriptor, so rebuilding a section from it and replacing
wholesale deleted every literal secret the wire never returned — reproduced as
`{baseURL, reasoning}` in, stored `apiKey` gone out. `settings.mutate` applies
set/unset ops to the section as it stands at the front of the seam's write
queue, and the client names only fields it can see, so an unseen secret is
untouched by construction rather than by care.
P2s in the same pass: `llm/adapters-updated` now contains async listener
rejections (an uncontained one escaped as unhandledRejection, contradicting
the documented "observer failures are contained"); llm-deepseek's retry-policy
swap uses the atomic `registration.replace` instead of dispose-then-register,
which published `[]` then `["deepseek-official"]` so an observer saw the
provider disappear and come back; and a transport rejection no longer strands
the page in `loading` or a card in `busy`, with removal failures surfaced on
the page banner instead of swallowed.
The answered-transcript golden captured the OS's own refusal of the denied
first attempt — "bash: notes.txt: Operation not permitted" on macOS against
"bash: line 1: notes.txt: Read-only file system" on Linux — so it passed
locally and failed the Linux snapshot lane.
The scenario now keeps one golden (the waiting panel, platform-neutral) and
asserts the answered state on the world instead: the decided outcome, the file
the escalated command actually wrote, DONE, the panel gone, and the composer
re-enabled. The file assertion is stronger evidence than the transcript dump
it replaces — it proves the grant reached the executor.
- .loadingFloat moved after the .status/.error block (its padding was
losing the same-specificity race) and re-anchored bottom-right: the
truncated/error rows own the bottom left and keep rendering through a
scan, so the pill can never cover them; confirmCreate's relist now
clears the stale failure text like every other scan launch.
- The close edge resets loading, so the slow-scan effect disarms while
hidden and a reopened dialog waits out a fresh silence window
(regression test added).
- The truncated note's survival through a scan is now asserted in the
slow-scan test; the wait-bound test moved to fake timers with the
200ms bound explicit.
- select()'s exemption from the one-frame rule and the constants' local
calibration premise are recorded in JSDoc and the capability-seam
Agent Note; the themed-scrollbars note's rebinding enumeration is
replaced by a pointer to the mechanical gate (it had drifted twice).
Both pairs re-recorded.
The loading pill's layer-2 background made the sheet an
elevated-surface painter, and the ui-theme scrollbar invariant rightly
flagged what was already latent: the dialog's columns scroll on an l2
card while the thumbs rendered in the base-surface pair. Rebind the
indirection on the card rule so it inherits to the scrolling columns.
Navigations keep the previous view rendering while scanning: target and
parent legs land as one two-pane frame when the parent leg settles within
a 200ms wait bound (past it the target lands alone and the late leg
upgrades in place; Escape inside the landing window withdraws the
navigation). The loading indicator floats over the content on the card
background and appears only once a scan outlives a 300ms silence window,
so navigation never shifts the columns or flashes an intermediate frame.
The truncated note now describes the on-screen panes instead of hiding
during scans.
Review round: the no-caption rule the Agent Note states applied only to the
success texts, leaving `permission · unknown permission preset "bogus" (…)`.
The error text now reads `unknown preset "bogus" (…)` and its exact wording
is pinned; the fixture mirror drops `JSON.stringify` for the host's own
quoting so the two cannot drift on a quoted argument.
The Note now states the line it draws: the rule bans a caption for the
command's own value, not the vocabulary, so `/plan`'s `Plan mode off.` and
`/goal`'s `Goal cleared.` conform as written — recorded with the broader
name-ban as a rejected alternative. The web row assertions are scoped to the
row so unrelated page text reading `permission` cannot satisfy them.
The approval panel replaces the InputBar while a sandbox escalation waits,
and its justification and command are unbounded model text. With no height
cap, a long command grew the card until the refuse/allow row went under the
fold: at 900x700 the action row's bottom landed at y=749, so the user could
read the request and not answer it.
Justification and command now scroll in one region capped at the same height
as the composer's draft area, with the amber strip and the action row outside
it. The cap is one value with two consumers — declared as
--dsh-composer-text-max-height on ConversationRoot's .composerSeat, the
composer chain's only shared ancestor — so the seat cannot cap its two states
differently. The card rebinds the l2 scrollbar pair like every other scrolling
surface on an elevated background.
Covered by a new web e2e scenario that drives the real composition (read-only
session, denied write, the model's escalation retry, answer clicked through
the panel) and measures the live panel at two viewport heights against the
composer's own cap, read off the textarea rather than hardcoded.
Consume the card:'web' result view (structured sources + answer for search, the
URL and HTTP status for fetch) the web backend PR added. WebBlock
(ui-primitives) draws both kinds via the kind discriminant: a citation list of
safe external links (the MarkdownText protocol allowlist, title-or-hostname
label), a truncation indicator, a height cap matching TerminalBlock; a fetch
summary for the other kind. web-card-model is the single resultView derivation;
a keyed WebRow registers under web_search and web_fetch with the card resident
under its summary. The generic fallback and the details panel are web-aware.
Fixture gains web_search and web_fetch turns for the built-boot snapshot.
The web command row renders `title · summary` from one logged command
lifecycle pair, and the two halves were written without knowing about each
other: the title was the dispatched line rebuilt from `command/run` and the
summary was `command/done`'s verbatim text, so every Access-chip pick read
`/permission workspace-write · Permission preset: workspace-write.` — the
command name twice and its argument twice.
The title is now the bare command name (no `/`, no arguments — the summary
already says what the command did), and a command handler's settlement text
never repeats the command's own name, so `/permission` returns `preset
workspace-write`. The row reads `permission · preset workspace-write`, and
the TUI notice still names the preset that now applies. The log is
unchanged: `command/run` keeps its structured name/args split for a richer
registered row.
