Decision 062 implementation — the authenticated post-start Autoflow control channel.

Authority (unchanged)

  • Adds the first genuine post-start Autoflow control path.
  • Exposes exactly OPEN_HUMAN_GATE.
  • No generic WorkflowEvent submission.
  • No generic apply(event).
  • No CLOSE_REQUESTED production source.
  • No Git/GitHub/provider/Policy/repository mutation authority.
  • Cockpit remains GET-only/read-only.

Security contract (current — DDR-D062-B)

Protected invariant: CLI EXIT 0 => APPLIED was produced by a live runtime process running under the trusted operator SID and holding the ephemeral private key bound to the attested session.

Store and descriptor

  • Deployment-anchored Windows control store, verified read-only and fail-closed before use: no symlink/reparse component on the path, anchor OWNER SID equal to the trusted operator SID (SYSTEM is an allowed DACL principal but never an allowed owner), DACL PRESENT + PROTECTED with principals exactly operator + SYSTEM by canonical SID.
  • Descriptor v4 is { version, pipeName, token } — identity-named runtime-descriptor-<id>.json, listen-before-publish, no shared fixed pathname, no PID.
  • A descriptor is a rendezvous hint, never a credential for the server direction. It carries no verifyKey, and one that does is rejected outright rather than partially trusted.
  • The token is client-to-server authorization only. Its retirement is a separate DDR.

Live server identity

  • The one live candidate is attested before any command is sent, by the build-provenanced native pipe attestor: it asks the kernel which process serves the pipe, pins that process against PID reuse by its exact creation FILETIME (re-proved after the token query and again after the hello read), reads its TokenUser SID, and relays exactly one bounded server hello from the same pipe handle.
  • The attested server SID must equal the trusted operator SID the anchor gate already resolved.
  • The command session's own hello must announce the very same verifyKey the attestation relayed; a restarted runtime or a pipe-name takeover announces different bytes and is abandoned before anything is sent.

Handshake

  • Client command authentication: token-keyed HMAC-SHA256 over a length-framed canonical transcript binding role, runtime id, pipe name, attested verifyKey, both nonces, and the exact command bytes. Verified with a constant-time compare before any dispatch.
  • Server result authentication: Ed25519 under the ephemeral per-start key whose public half attestation produced, over that transcript plus the exact result bytes. The private half lives only in the runtime's process memory and is never serialized.
  • No server-side HMAC fallback exists — there is no server-MAC primitive to fall back to, and the result parser is exact-key, so a token-authenticated result cannot be accepted by any path.
  • 4-byte big-endian bounded framing, exactly one request per connection; a zero/oversized length, a truncated frame, or any surplus byte fails closed.
  • Every attestation or authentication failure is a nonzero exit with no fallback to a weaker check. An unverified result is never reported as APPLIED.

Native artifacts

Three build-provenanced native artifacts, each with its own generated provenance module and its own exported binding, SHA-256-verified against that generated metadata before execution:

  • agentbridge-win-owner.exe — read-only OWNER + DACL snapshot helper (canonical SIDs only, never localized account names).
  • agentbridge-win-descriptor-create.exe — create-only descriptor creator (CREATE_NEW, explicit owner + protected operator/SYSTEM DACL, secret bytes on stdin only).
  • agentbridge-win-pipe-attest.exe — read-only live pipe-server identity relayer.

npm run control:provision remains a prerequisite where the native artifacts are required; npm run control runs the provisioning gate before the CLI.

Validation and evidence

  • Exact current parent HEAD: afee659b76ec3f99d73f167c75d083f7ac11212c.
  • PR D062 — Relayer trust to live pipe server identity #104 ("D062 — Relayer trust to live pipe server identity") merged cleanly into this head: merge tree is byte-identical to the child tree, no resolution drift.
  • Exact-head CI green at afee659b: verify success, windows-owner-helper success.
  • Protected-invariant parent audit at this head: PASS_PR84_POST_INTEGRATION_PARENT_AUDIT — zero blocking CURRENT P0/P1/P2 implementation findings.

Supporting evidence from the integrated child (PR #104's own scope, not a fresh full-parent validation):

Deferred / non-blocking

Three CURRENT P3 items are carried and do not block the parent invariant or a Ready transition:

  • Source-comment / doc-contract drift — several src/control/ docstrings still describe the retired server-direction HMAC contract instead of the current Ed25519 one. The architecture-contract guard is scoped to the D3 document only. Documentation-only; no behavior is affected.
  • Ancestor-depth fail-openenumeratePathComponents truncates at 64 components without reaching the root. Covered downstream: the OWNER + DACL snapshot is taken on the resolved path and still requires operator ownership with a protected operator/SYSTEM DACL.
  • Unreclaimed malformed descriptor slots — an identity-named file that does not parse as v4 is never probed and never removed, so it holds a candidate/entry slot. Fail-closed availability only; never an authority effect.

Scope

Deployment remains separately gated. No ACL provisioning or runtime cutover is part of this PR.

Decision 062 Amendment A (PR #84 F1). The control-anchor gate verified the
DACL but not the OWNER SID, so a foreign owner could rewrite the DACL, grant
itself access, and read the descriptor token. verifyControlAnchor now also
requires the anchor OWNER SID to equal the exact runtime operator SID
(SYSTEM is allowed as a DACL principal, never as owner), fail-closed.

The owner SID is read by a single source-in-repo native helper built from
reviewed C by a trusted Windows build; its identity and SHA-256 are generated
build metadata (a built JS artifact, not a committed literal or .sha256
sidecar) and the helper bytes are hash-verified before it is executed via the
existing bounded, shell-free runner. This adds one read-only executable
(whoami, icacls, owner helper) and no more.

F2 (control-runtime.ts) and F3 (icacls parser) are unchanged. Full suite
2010/2010; typecheck/lint/build/diff-check clean.

The real Windows owner-helper positive test assumed mkdtempSync(tmpdir())
yields an operator-owned directory (owner SID == whoami SID). That holds in a
non-elevated context but not on GitHub's elevated Windows runner, where a
freshly created directory is owned by Administrators (or SYSTEM) — a
non-operator SID — so production correctly fails closed and the ok:true
assertion breaks.

The test now reads the temp directory's ACTUAL owner SID via the same real,
build-provenanced helper binary, then asserts the corresponding deterministic
gate behaviour: owner == operator must accept and echo that SID; a non-operator
owner must fail closed with the exact reason (OWNER_IS_SYSTEM for SYSTEM,
OWNER_MISMATCH otherwise). Meaningful in both elevated and non-elevated
contexts, and never treats a foreign owner as success.

Test-only. Production (ownerSid === operatorSid gate) unchanged; F1/F2/F3 and
the six protected files byte-identical. Full suite 2010/2010;
typecheck/lint/build/diff-check clean.

test(control): make owner helper integration context-aware
The control runtime unlinked the fixed runtime-descriptor.json
unconditionally in close() and in the listen-failure cleanup. Under an
overlapped start (runtime B rotates and publishes its descriptor before
runtime A closes), A's cleanup deleted B's descriptor, leaving B's live
pipe undiscoverable by the official CLI. Availability/correctness only;
no authority or token exposure.

Cleanup is now bound to the runtime instance identity: the descriptor is
read and validated through the existing trusted parser and unlinked only
on an exact pipeName match (the per-process 128-bit-random identity; a
pid can be reused, a pipeName cannot). A missing, malformed, unreadable,
or successor-owned descriptor is left untouched, so cleanup fails safe
for the successor in both lifecycle locations. The startup rotation of a
stale crash descriptor is intentionally unchanged.

Read-compare-unlink is not atomic; the residual race narrows from the
successor's whole lifetime to the sub-millisecond match-to-unlink gap
and is not closable with JS fs primitives.

Adds deterministic adversarial tests: A/B overlap survival, missing,
malformed, and unreadable descriptors, same-pid foreign descriptor, and
listen-failure protection of a foreign descriptor alongside own-cleanup.
F1/F3 and the protected files byte-identical. tests/control 126/126

fix(control): preserve successor runtime descriptor
Decision 062 Amendment B (PR #85 F3): replace the localized icacls DACL
read with a single build-provenanced native OWNER + DACL security-descriptor
snapshot emitted as canonical SIDs only, so control-anchor authorization is
identical on any Windows locale. SYSTEM is recognized solely as S-1-5-18 and
the operator by exact canonical SID; a display name can never enter the
decision. F1 owner-only mode and its provenance/hash gate are preserved; F2
is untouched. The deferred P3 (operator effective-rights type/mask semantics)
is intentionally out of scope and not repaired here.

The MSVC toolchain probe did not exercise the
FileDispositionInfoEx / FILE_DISPOSITION_INFO_EX surface that the
creator relies on for termination-safe descriptor cleanup, so a
toolchain whose SDK headers predate that API could pass the probe
and then fail when building the creator.

Extend PROBE_SOURCE to reference FILE_DISPOSITION_INFO_EX, its
flags and FileDispositionInfoEx, and assert symbol parity in the
test so the probe fails closed on pre-RS1 headers exactly as the
creator build would.

…le-v2

D062 — rebuild descriptor lifecycle around runtime identity
Move the CLI entry point into a dedicated wrapper module so the executed
entry is the wrapper itself, removing the alias-sensitive
`import.meta.url === argv[1]` predicate from cli.ts. cli.ts now exports
cliMain with no self-execution predicate, and the control bin resolves to
cli-main.js.

This closes the class where invoking the CLI through a junction, symlink,
or other path alias made the entry guard compare non-equal and exit 0
silently, and it is not vulnerable to the mid-load retarget TOCTOU that
the realpath-based predicate variant left open.

  5. Give a concrete reachable failure.

  6. Explain why the failure is not already prevented elsewhere.

  7. Give a minimal reproducer.

  8. State the smallest safe repair direction.

  9. State the invariant that repair must preserve.

  10. Distinguish the finding from every prior PR D62 — Authenticated post-start Autoflow control channel #84 finding.

DDR-D062-B. A descriptor is a rendezvous hint, not a credential for the
server direction: a file is copyable, so ACL or pathname inspection can
never decide whether given bytes are a genuine runtime's or a replay of
bytes copied earlier.

Descriptor v4 carries exactly {version, pipeName, token} and no verify
key; one that carries a key is rejected outright rather than partially
trusted. A third build-provenanced, hash-gated, read-only native
artifact asks the KERNEL which process serves a candidate pipe, pins it
against PID reuse by its exact creation time, reads its TokenUser SID,
and relays one bounded hello read from the SAME pipe handle. The CLI
requires that SID to equal the trusted operator SID the anchor gate
already resolved, and requires the command session's own hello to
announce the very same verify key.

Server results are Ed25519 signatures under that attested key over a
transcript binding runtime id, pipe name, key, both nonces, and the
exact command and result bytes. computeServerMac is deleted, so no code
can fall back to authenticating a result with a copyable bearer secret;
the token is retained as the client-to-server authorizer only. The
signing key is ephemeral and never serialized, so a squatter holding a
byte-perfect descriptor copy can neither pass attestation nor sign.

LogicDuke and others added 3 commits September 13, 2026 10:01
The D3 architecture document is the only place the D062 control-channel
contract is stated, and it drifted: the protocol commit changed the
descriptor version, the native artifact set, and the authentication
primitives while touching no document. The contract therefore described
descriptor v2, two native artifacts, and mutual-HMAC server
authentication that no longer exists.

Bring the document to the implementation: descriptor v4 carrying no
verify key and why a copyable file can never be one; the third
build-provenanced artifact and its provenance module; live pipe
attestation with kernel-reported server identity, creation-time pinning
against PID reuse, the operator-SID equality check, and the key binding
that ties the command session to the attested runtime; and the two
directions authenticated by different primitives -- a token-keyed
client MAC for the command, an Ed25519 signature under the attested
ephemeral key for the result, with no server-side HMAC to fall back to.

Add a deterministic guard so the next drift fails instead of going
unnoticed. Its expectations are implementation-derived, never a
document snapshot: the descriptor version is read from the factory that
mints descriptors and the artifact set from the basename exports that
provisioning itself is built from, so a fourth artifact or a version
bump trips it automatically. Prose, rationale, and ordering stay free;
only the machine-checkable constants and the absence of the retired
primitive name are bound. Documentation and test only.

The contract listed a failed result-signature check alongside the
pre-send checks and claimed all of them fail closed before the command
is sent. That is false for the signature: the runtime signs only after
dispatch has returned, so a lost, malformed, or unverifiable result
carries no information about whether OPEN_HUMAN_GATE was applied.

Split the two classes. Pre-send failures guarantee no mutation. Post-
dispatch result-authentication failures do not; the CLI fails
authentication and never reports APPLIED, and re-running is the correct
recovery because the command is idempotent (Decision 062 section 15).
Documentation only.

204-204: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use PROTOCOL_VERSION instead of the literal 2 in these negative bodies.

parseHelloBody and parseResultBody reject any body whose v does not equal PROTOCOL_VERSION. These three bodies hardcode 2. If PROTOCOL_VERSION changes, each test still passes, but it passes because of the version mismatch, not because of the missing verifyKey, the wrong-width verifyKey, or the mac-instead-of-sig shape. The negative assertions then stop discriminating.

♻️ Proposed change
-      JSON.stringify({ v: 2, nonceS: randomBytes(NONCE_BYTES).toString('base64url') }),
+      JSON.stringify({ v: PROTOCOL_VERSION, nonceS: randomBytes(NONCE_BYTES).toString('base64url') }),
       JSON.stringify({
-        v: 2,
+        v: PROTOCOL_VERSION,
         nonceS: randomBytes(NONCE_BYTES).toString('base64url'),
         verifyKey: randomBytes(VERIFY_KEY_BYTES - 1).toString('base64url'),
       }),
       JSON.stringify({
-        v: 2,
+        v: PROTOCOL_VERSION,
         result: 'APPLIED',
         mac: randomBytes(MAC_BYTES).toString('base64url'),
       }),

reached the filesystem root; when MAX_PATH_DEPTH is exhausted first, reject the
path before evaluatePathSafety processes the partial components. Preserve the
existing root-first ordering and bounded traversal for paths that reach the root
successfully.

- Line 122: Replace the local PROVENANCE_BASENAME literal in launch-lifecycle
tests with the exported PROVENANCE_BASENAME from helper-pair.mjs, and use that
imported symbol for realProv and ALL_NATIVE_BASENAMES so assertions target the
current production artifact.
