Earlier release notes remain available on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/mzored/SkipHow/releases). +## 4.3.0 (2026-09-06) + +The always-loaded kernel regains the duties an independent audit found weakened since the 4.0 restoration: a direction rule for work that has come to wait on the owner, one point-of-use obligation before dispatching a delegate, a routing rule the model can apply without evidence it does not have, owned temporary state in the completion reconciliation, and a refusal rule that names the missing permission instead of asking the owner to choose a command. The delegation playbook states per host what delegate controls exist and what a run must verify. The evidence instrument judges receipts per claim. Installing or upgrading SkipHow still grants no authority. + +### Changed + +- When part of the result waits on the owner, a grant, or an external party, the run continues only independent authorized work that demonstrably advances the remaining acceptance conditions, creates no new prerequisites to fill free capacity, and hands the owner one batch of blockers when none remains. This restores in shorter form the criterion 2.14.0 added after a 36.8-hour campaign and the 4.0 restoration dropped without recording it. +- Before dispatching a delegate the run has the `delegation` playbook in context, the one loading obligation the 2.15.x receipts measured working. Playbook entries name the act as well as the topic (before a tracker item is created or closed, a merge or rebase stopped on a conflict, a check that failed for an unknown reason, work growing without new evidence of the owner's result), and an unchanged playbook already in context is not read again. +- Model and effort are chosen from the reasoning the lane demands, the consequence of a wrong answer, and how cheaply the lead can check the result, and set through the host's per-delegate control where it exposes one. Inheriting a suitable session setting is a choice; silence is not. With no evidence the cheaper option serves only a bounded task the lead will verify, and a miss moves up or splits. A high-consequence review gets enough independent capability, which may exceed the session's own. "Demonstrated adequate" is gone. +- Completion reconciliation covers clones and scratch checkouts the run created, and a material intended effect that did not happen, such as a refused cleanup, is reported even when the main result is complete. A host or sandbox refusal is never bypassed; when no authorized alternative remains, the run names the exact blocker and, where the host has a permission interface, the exact permission. +- Sensitive findings are not disclosed outside their authorized audience and are minimized inside it, replacing the narrower "never publish". +- The delegation playbook carries host mechanics read on 2026-09-06 for Claude Code 2.1.261 and Codex CLI 0.153.0: the Agent tool `model` parameter with effort and tool allowlists living only in agent definitions, `permissionMode` ignored for plugin subagents, and `isolation: worktree`; `spawn_agent` `model` and `reasoning_effort` where the configuration exposes them, no per-delegate directory, worktree, or sandbox, `.git` read-only under `workspace-write`, two untried writer-lane candidates, and read-and-verify lanes with the lead writing as the current fallback rather than a norm. +- The verification playbook makes an independent source of expected behavior the reviewer's obligation, derived from the request and the product rules before reading the change, with contested expectations recorded rather than adopted. The reviewer checks the exact candidate before integration; the lead verifies the authorized destination after it. + +### Evaluation instrument + +- Receipt eligibility is judged per claim rather than per run: a loading claim, a delivery-at-destination claim, a foreign-work-preservation claim, a completion-honesty claim, and a comparative-benefit claim each name the evidence they need. A confirmed failure is recorded as a failure observation, distinct from missing evidence, a loading observation labels nothing else, and unknown cost blocks no other fact. A deterministic validator applies the rules to the retained captures, and the ledger now states what the 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 Codex and Claude receipts do and do not establish per claim. The public meaning of `Observed` is unchanged. +- A direct `pytest` run no longer writes bytecode under the package, so it no longer corrupts the package identity of the checkout it runs in; an identity mismatch names the extra, missing, and changed paths; the deterministic gate records its slowest tests and keeps its time limit. +- The run protocol in `evals/README.md` now requires the host's stderr to be retained in its own file beside the event stream, because the 4.2.0 delivery receipt shows a sandbox refusal that reached only stderr. The capture utility itself is unchanged. + +### Documentation + +- The security policy says that the Codex custom-agent `sandbox_mode` field is documented but not applied in the 0.153.0 source, that `spawn_agent` takes no directory, worktree, or sandbox parameter, that `project_doc_max_bytes` caps project files while the home instruction file is read without a byte limit, and that Claude's `permissionMode` is not a read-only boundary for plugin subagents. The README says the 4.2.0 delivery prompt did not name SkipHow but did name the destination and the verification. The design page names the Codex override file order. +- The decision history and the evidence ledger record the audit's disposition, including what was not adopted: no hook or import before the staged activation comparison, no fixed routing ladder, no test-count target, no tracked-bytes package identity, no single-writer Codex norm. + +### Compatibility and evidence + +This is a minor release. The kernel widens what a run does within existing authority: it stops and hands over one batch when the result waits on the owner, reads `delegation` before dispatching, and names the permission it lacks. The delegation playbook adds host mechanics. No authority boundary, public skill name, or record format changes, and existing grants and restrictions survive the upgrade. + +Every behavioral consequence is `UNVERIFIED`; acceptance is static. The experiments the audit designed, a three-mechanism Claude activation comparison, a refused-command capture test on Codex, a fixture at the drift point for the direction rule, a fixed known-bad candidate for the revised reviewer, and a Codex writer lane, need the owner's grant and are recorded with their designs in [docs/evidence.md](docs/evidence.md). Host receipts for the exact 4.3.0 package are recorded in `evals/host-smoke.json` when they exist; until then every row there is `UNVERIFIED` and the 4.2.0 receipts remain at their immutable source. + ## 4.2.0 (2026-09-06) SkipHow can now enable, check, and disable its own default governance when an installed user asks it to. The activation helper ships inside the skill, resolves the trusted user instruction file each host actually reads, and reports configured, available, and loaded as three separate facts.

The [evidence ledger](evidence.md#the-september-6-cto-outcome-audit) carries the finding-by-finding disposition. + +Adopted without a model run, because inspection settled them: the kernel regains a short direction criterion that preserves independent work (2.14.0 had put the rule in the kernel after a 36.8-hour campaign; 3.0.1 kept it; the 4.0 restoration ledger recorded neither moving nor dropping it, and this section corrects that omission); one point-of-use obligation, for `delegation` only, because the 2.15.x receipts measured that phrasing opening the file where the topic list did not, while the tracker-write equivalent has weaker evidence and stays a trigger; routing by the reasoning the lane demands, the consequence of a wrong answer, and the cost of checking, with the parent's setting neither floor nor ceiling, replacing "demonstrated adequate", which asked for evidence most runs do not have; owned temporary state in the reconciliation sentence and a rule that a material intended effect the run did not achieve is reported; the permission sentence that separates asking the owner to choose a mechanism (never) from naming the exact blocker and permission when no authorized path remains; "disclose outside the authorized audience" in place of "publish"; a host-mechanics section in `delegation.md` stating per host and version what exists and what the run must verify; the reviewer's obligation to derive expected behavior from the request before reading the change; a test suite that no longer writes bytecode under the package when run directly, and an identity failure that names the extra paths; per-claim receipt eligibility, defined before any new run. + +Not adopted: a SessionStart hook or an `@import` on Claude Code before the staged comparison the audit specifies has run, because an unconditional hook would outlive the helper's disable and the comparison has to define "not activated" as "kernel present, CTO workflow not started"; a fixed routing ladder or a rule that verification is cheap work; a parent-relative floor for high-consequence review; single-writer Codex as a product norm rather than the current fallback; a test-count reduction target; a tracked-bytes package identity, which would stop catching extra shipped files; a ralph-loop style Stop hook; and every heavier mechanism the earlier sections already rejected. + +Deferred to experiments that need the owner's grant, each recorded as `UNVERIFIED` with its design: the three-mechanism Claude activation comparison stopped at the first consequential project action; the Codex refused-command path, to learn whether the model, the capture, or the report dropped the 4.2.0 cleanup refusal; a short fixture at the drift point for the direction rule; a fixed known-bad candidate for the revised reviewer criterion; a Codex writer lane in a pre-created checkout and, separately, a `codex exec -C` lane per unit. + ## The 4.2.0 activation and instrument corrections The September 6 audit found that the activation target could be shadowed and that onboarding pushed readiness checks to the owner. The helper moved into the skill package and learned the hosts' discovery rules, and a setup playbook lets an installed user ask the agent to enable, check, or disable default governance. Configured, available, and loaded are reported as three facts because the first two are deterministic and the third only a fresh session shows. No hook or runtime was added; the helper is a resource the skill may ship and runs only when asked. diff --git a/docs/design.md b/docs/design.md index e302321..b3089b5 100644 --- a/docs/design.md +++ b/docs/design.md @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ Applicable project instructions may narrow scope, require safeguards, and define Instruction-level policy guarantees nothing.

The kernel sentence inside the command a session asked to run, inside the output of a read that failed, or inside an agent message is `UNVERIFIED`, because a model's claim about its own context, and a request it made for one, are not a reading of it.

Codex stays on the instruction-file block, loaded from it once on 4.1.0 and once on 4.2.0. | +| F2, direction rule lost from the kernel | Restored in the kernel's verification section in shorter form: when part of the result waits on the owner, a grant, or an external party, continue only independent authorized work that demonstrably advances the remaining acceptance conditions, create no new prerequisites to fill free capacity, and hand the owner one batch of blockers when none remains. The expanded judgment stays in `diagnosis.md`. | Static. The audit's short fixture at the drift point (one genuine owner gate, one independent useful task, one planted false prerequisite) is designed and not run; the owner's next long installed run is the other check. | +| F3, Codex per-delegate sandbox promised, parallel work unstated | `SECURITY.md` rows and the untrusted profile now say the documented `sandbox_mode` is not applied in the 0.153.0 source and that `spawn_agent` has no directory, worktree, or sandbox parameter; `delegation.md` gained a dated host-mechanics section with the read-and-verify fallback stated as the current limitation. The kernel rule is unchanged. | Static.

The Agent tool takes a `model` parameter per call. `effort` is set in an agent definition, the `--agents` launch JSON, or the frontmatter of the skill a subagent forked from, not per call, and a tool allowlist lives in the definition or that JSON, so a run with none of these chooses the model and inherits effort. `isolation: worktree` runs a subagent in a temporary git worktree the host owns; verify the delegate's checkout path and starting revision from its own first report before treating it as a writer. `permissionMode` is ignored for plugin subagents and overridden by a parent running in bypass, accept-edits, or auto mode, so a read-only delegate needs an actual tool allowlist and a check that it applied. + +Codex CLI 0.153.0. `spawn_agent` takes `model` and `reasoning_effort` unless the configuration hides them, plus an agent type and the message. It takes no working directory, worktree, or sandbox parameter. A subagent inherits the parent's sandbox and permissions; the `sandbox_mode` field documented for custom agents is not among the fields this version applies, so it does not narrow a delegate. Under `workspace-write` the repository's `.git` is read-only inside the writable roots, and a linked worktree shares that protected Git directory and keeps the restriction, so commits go through a separate clone the lead owns or an authorized path with verified writable Git metadata. No run has shown a Codex writer lane. Two candidate paths, both unverified: a distinct checkout pre-created inside the writable roots that the delegate is told to work in and the lead verifies before and after, or a separate `codex exec -C ` session per lane.
