PR9-WF-F1 — isolate workflow descriptor objects - #52
Conversation
PR9-WF-F1: descriptor construction in workflow.ts::append and the inline objectDefineProperty sites in workflow-transitions.ts::noteRevisionSpan used ordinary prototype-inheriting PropertyDescriptor literals. Under a poisoned inherited Object.prototype.get/set, ToPropertyDescriptor observes the inherited accessor fields and throws TypeError, so workflow evaluation could throw instead of returning the intended deterministic applied state or rejection. Capture Object.setPrototypeOf at module load beside the existing intrinsics and null-prototype each descriptor before the captured Object.defineProperty consumes it. Descriptor flags, index semantics, and revision/sequence ordering are unchanged; the only behavioural change is that prototype-poison-induced TypeError becomes the already-intended fail-closed result.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change hardens workflow array updates against poisoned ChangesWorkflow prototype safety
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR hardens the verified workflow descriptor paths against hostile prototype poisoning, but four analogous append helpers reportedly still use ordinary descriptors and could throw TypeError in that scenario. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for those remaining paths. Poem

Null-prototype the descriptors in the four remaining append helpers. src/domain/agent-invocation.ts, src/domain/review-ingestion.ts, src/domain/agent-invocation-report.ts, and src/domain/evidence-freshness.ts still pass ordinary descriptor literals to objectDefineProperty. A poisoned inherited Object.prototype.get or set can make ToPropertyDescriptor throw TypeError.

PR9-WF-F1 — isolate workflow descriptor objects
pr-007/autoflow-state-machine7587ad91f8930aac797e8b8fa292d90e53ecdbe83894d0bdb60b650b2f3d2a90942b5fd70c85a1edVerified contract violation
PR 007 promises that hostile / prototype-polluted runtime input fails closed
without throwing. However, descriptor construction in
src/domain/workflow.ts(
append) and the same-family inline descriptor sites insrc/domain/workflow-transitions.ts(noteRevisionSpan) used ordinaryObject.prototype-inheritingPropertyDescriptorobjects before the capturedObject.definePropertyconsumed them.Under inherited
Object.prototype.get/setpoisoning,ToPropertyDescriptorobserves the inherited accessor fields and throws
TypeError, so workflowevaluation / diagnostic / transition processing could throw instead of returning
the intended deterministic applied state or rejection (a frozen, fail-closed
result).
Impact
Reliability / denial-of-service / totality violation. No authority escalation
demonstrated — not state mutation, not authority inference, not data leak.
