From 7995a62030ecb498e7e21e9995a340c4d33243a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: elkaix Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 16:12:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat: enforce read-only runs with the macOS sandbox agy ignores plan mode, so plan-mode runs now execute under sandbox-exec with writes into their roots denied. Linux and sandboxed bridges fall back to watching; AGY_READ_ONLY_ENFORCEMENT=require refuses instead. Also classify agy's real 'authentication failed' error as unauthenticated, and pin real agy 1.2.2 error envelopes as fixtures. --- CLAUDE.md | 10 +- README.md | 88 +++++++---- package.json | 2 +- skills/agy-delegate/SKILL.md | 31 ++-- skills/agy-delegation/SKILL.md | 24 +-- src/config.ts | 12 ++ src/confine.ts | 111 +++++++++++++ src/delegation.ts | 87 ++++++++++- src/failure.ts | 2 +- src/runner.ts | 36 ++++- src/server.ts | 44 ++++-- src/tools.ts | 9 +- src/warm.ts | 27 +++- test/config.test.ts | 9 ++ test/confine.test.ts | 275 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ test/failure.test.ts | 37 ++++- test/server.test.ts | 1 + test/support.ts | 12 +- 18 files changed, 727 insertions(+), 90 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/confine.ts create mode 100644 test/confine.test.ts diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 1935e1d..31be4ca 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -24,10 +24,12 @@ Each response opens with a nonce-stamped header, then a fenced payload.
