feat(ponsbot): phase 0 of the scanner cutover (adapter, panicbot parity fixes, owner rulings) - #670
Phase 0 of docs/migrations/scanner-cutover-ponsbot-panicbot.adoc (#666). Nothing is enrolled, no grid row or direct lane is removed, no cutover workflow changes.
Owner rulings recorded (2026-11-12)
D0 (scanners stay external engines; only direct lanes retire), D1 (SPECULATIVE pons findings carried, never graded blocking), G1 (pons gates), G2 (panic-attack does not gate; panicbot advisory). The phase-2 "keep PA_GATES block-on-critical" carry-over is removed. Scope sentence added: the bots are estate tooling, external users scan for themselves for now. Labels G1/G2 are the doc's own.
ponsbot (bots/ponsbot)
ponsbot --format json scan <dir> runs pons as a subprocess (cwd = scanned dir, scan --format json ., no --no-speculative), writes nothing into the tree.
Exit mapping: pons 0/1 with a valid report -> ran; 2 -> error with pons' message; missing binary -> not_run; timeout, unreadable report, wrong or unstamped source_commit -> error. Nothing maps to a pass. Non-ran results print {"status","reason"} (exit 2/3), never an empty array.
Findings keep tier, evidence_class, pons_severity. pons ERROR -> error, WARN -> warning; SPECULATIVE (and unknown classes) are carried at info. Heuristics are labelled in the message.
Pin: bots/ponsbot/canon/pin.toml = bca1ea289a4f8a86bac6212731e6f8ec15c67ad4, the pons-ref default in standards hypatia-scan-reusable.yml (main f0b3cd4). Not invented.
Driver: case arm, built-in title, tool_version, --pons SHA install in fleet-report-back-build.sh (cached by commit, never fatal). Added to the rust.yml matrix.
BotId::Ponsbot added (Display, from_str, tier, BotInfo) but left out of all(): the adapter has report-back mode only, and all() feeds register_all_bots, so it would make verifier-tier completion wait on a bot the coordinator cannot run. Test asserts this.
Gating (for phase 1 enrolments)
The renderer reads gating from the enrolment's per-reporter gating boolean (verdict-grid.jq), not the envelope, so the envelope carries no gating field. Enrolments must set "gating": true for ponsbot and leave panicbot without it. Tested against the real renderer when STANDARDS_DIR is set.
panicbot parity (design section 5): three real holes, fixed at source
Tests written first failed on the old code:
the timeout was never enforced (a hung panic-attack hung the lane);
a non-zero exit with parseable stdout was accepted as a run;
a report with no positive statistics.total_lines (nothing analysed) was an empty ran. assail is now strict (non-zero exit, no/invalid report, unknown severity, zero lines -> error). Other subcommands keep their tolerance. bots/panicbot/canon/pin.toml gains [build] = 410a8f82..., the standards Hypatia lane / fork-governance value.
Pins disagree (new open decision D7, please rule)
panic-attack: Hypatia lane 410a8f82; this repo's fleet-report-back-reusable.ymlb689a74d (its comment claims equality; it is not equal); deep-recon b5530834. pons: Hypatia lane bca1ea28, deep-recon 51b8920f (older ancestor). Workflows do not read the pin files yet. Also D6: does deep-recon's must-run check on panic-attack survive now that panicbot is advisory?
Tests (actual)
cargo test ponsbot: 16 unit + 13 integration pass. Real pons built at the pinned commit: PONSBOT_REAL_PONS=... cargo test real_pons passes (finds constant-condition HEURISTIC; empty tree -> error). Without that env var the test prints SKIP.
Reviewers: this touches panicbot's scan strictness; a panic-attack version that exits non-zero on findings would now read error (the direct lane does the same; panic-attack 2.5.5 assail exits 0 with findings).
Added ponsbot scanning with text and JSON reports, timeouts, and clear pass, findings, error, and not-run statuses. Findings retain severity and evidence details; speculative or unclassified findings are informational.
Expanded panicbot to run the configured panic-attack suite, including static checks and eligible dynamic scans. Reports include per-check results, timing, and analysis status.
Added optional pons installation to the report-back build process.
Bug Fixes
Invalid, incomplete, or mismatched scan reports are now treated as errors rather than clean results. Directive loading failures no longer fall back to defaults.
… rulings)
Phase 0 of docs/migrations/scanner-cutover-ponsbot-panicbot.adoc. Nothing is
enrolled, no grid row or workflow lane is removed.
ponsbot (bots/ponsbot): thin adapter, `ponsbot --format json scan <dir>` runs
pons at the commit in canon/pin.toml as a subprocess and writes nothing into
the tree. Exit 0/1 with a valid report -> ran; exit 2 -> error with pons'
message; missing binary -> not_run; timeout, unreadable report or a pons at
another commit -> error. Never a pass. Each finding keeps tier and evidence
class; SPECULATIVE is carried at info, never graded as blocking (D1).
Driver: ponsbot arm, build line (--pons), tests including the real renderer.
BotId::Ponsbot exists but is not in all(): no fleet dispatch yet.
panicbot: the parity cases from design section 5 found three real holes, fixed
at the source: the timeout was never enforced, a non-zero exit with parseable
stdout was accepted, and a report that analysed nothing was an empty ran.
pin.toml gains the panic-attack build commit (value from the standards lane).
Design doc records D0, D1 and the two gating rulings (2026-11-12): pons gates,
panic-attack does not; the PA_GATES carry-over is removed.

The pull request adds a pinned ponsbot adapter and expands panicbot from a direct assail scan to a configurable panic-attack suite. Report-back scripts now handle both adapters’ findings and status results. The Rust workflow tests ponsbot; the migration record states that enrolments and grid rows have not changed.
Changes: Scanner adapters and report-back
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Panicbot suite configuration and directives bots/panicbot/src/config.rs, bots/panicbot/src/directives.rs, bots/panicbot/src/cli.rs, bots/panicbot/canon/pin.toml, tests/panic-attack-rule-ids-test.sh
Panicbot adds ten command settings, a 240-second suite budget, and directive allow/deny handling. A missing directive file enables the full suite; a directive file starts from the legacy static trio unless allow replaces it. Scan and fleet accept optional targets.
Panicbot scanner and suite execution bots/panicbot/src/scanner.rs, bots/panicbot/src/suite.rs, bots/panicbot/src/lib.rs
The scanner adds assay, dynamic, and adjudication runners, validates reports, and enforces subprocess timeouts. The suite records per-command statuses, applies the suite budget and target checks, and translates completed results into findings.
Panicbot CLI, fleet, and result reporting bots/panicbot/src/main.rs, bots/panicbot/src/fleet.rs, bots/panicbot/tests/*
Scan and fleet run the suite and report part results. Scan distinguishes findings-array results from part errors and runs with no analysis. Fleet uses suite findings and marks executions failed when a part errors. Integration tests cover the output and failure cases.
Ponsbot pinned scanner adapter bots/ponsbot/*
The new adapter loads its pinned source commit, locates and runs pons, validates reports, and translates findings. It reports scan, error, and not-run outcomes; tests cover finding translation, invalid reports, timeouts, and scan-tree preservation.
Report-back and build integration .github/workflows/rust.yml, scripts/fleet-report-back*.sh, shared-context/src/bot.rs, shared-context/tests/ponsbot_test.rs, tests/fleet-report-back*.sh
The Rust workflow includes ponsbot. The build script accepts --pons for a pinned installation. Report-back adds ponsbot mappings and translation, and handles panicbot error and not-run objects. Tests cover build caching, adapter output, and status handling.
Scanner documentation and cutover record docs/REPORT-BACK.adoc, docs/migrations/scanner-cutover-ponsbot-panicbot.adoc
The documentation describes the adapters and their output behavior. The migration record states that phase 0 has started, and that workflows, enrolments, and grid rows have not changed.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 54a27
The new panicbot suite can report a clean scan without analysing the repository. Assay can scan an empty scratch directory when the target is relative, and a dynamic run where every axis was skipped counts as analysed. Scanner timeouts can also leave processes running. Fix these before enrolling panicbot or relying on its results. Ponsbot is not enrolled, so current merge exposure is bounded.

… say otherwise (#671)
Stacks on #670. Owner ruling 2026-11-13: panicbot ran `assail` only; it
now runs every class (a) panic-attack subcommand unless the repo's bot
directives say otherwise.
## What changed
- `bots/panicbot/src/suite.rs`: inventory table of every panic-attack
subcommand (class a / b / c, with reasons) and the suite runner. Each
part ends `ran`, `not_applicable` (with reason), `denied` or `error`;
nothing is silently skipped.
- Ran by default: `assail`, `assay`, `diagnostics` (preflight only).
Dynamic `assault`/`ambush` run only with an explicit `--target`
executable inside the scanned dir, else `not_applicable`. `adjudicate`
runs only over dynamic reports. `attack`, `amuck`, `abduct`, `axial`
report `not_applicable` with reasons (no file/exec source).
- Directives: no file means the full suite. A file keeps exactly what it
allows and denies (no `allow` key keeps the old static trio; `deny`
narrows, deny wins). A directive file that fails to parse now stops the
run instead of falling back to the (now full) default.
- Security gate: dynamic modes refused under `pull_request_target` /
`workflow_run`. The checked workflows (`fleet-report-back-reusable.yml`,
standards `fork-governance.yml` fleet job) run on `pull_request` with
`contents: read` and no secrets, and none passes a target.
- Findings name files: `PB-ASSAY-*` (hit file), `PB-DYN-*` and
`PB-ADJUDICATE-VERDICT` (the target). Gating stays advisory (G2).
- Failure reporting: a failed part prints an error object and exits 3; a
run that analysed nothing prints `not_run` and exits 4. The driver maps
both to envelope statuses; evidence classes added for `PB-` ids.
- Budget: 240 s whole-suite budget under the driver's 300 s limit;
panic-attack runs in a scratch cwd so scans do not write into the repo.
- Fixes found on the way: `adjudicate` prints `pass (processed 0, failed
1)` and exits 0 for a missing or unrecognised report, which panicbot now
treats as an error; the `diagnostics` `--version` call had no timeout.
## Held back / for the owner
- `bridge` is class (a) in kind but held out per D4 (bridge gate stays
outside panicbot).
- No deed clause invented for per-bot directives; the legacy
`panicbot.a2ml` is read-only as before.
## Checks
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo
test` in `bots/panicbot`; `tests/fleet-report-back-test.sh` (213 passed)
and `tests/fleet-report-back-build-test.sh` (65 passed) with
`STANDARDS_DIR` set.

Propagate diagnostics failures instead of reporting success
When panic-attack --version succeeds but the diagnostics subprocess times out, crashes, or emits malformed output, run_diagnostics suppresses that failure and returns a synthetic healthy report based on the version command; this new suite branch consequently marks the diagnostics part as Ran rather than making the suite error. That violates the must-run/error contract and can produce a clean findings array after a scanner component failed.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Real for timeouts and crashes, fixed in fb51a51; I am declining the "malformed output" part, so this thread stays open. diagnostics now runs through the enforced-timeout runner, and a timeout, spawn failure or death by signal returns an error, so the part is error and the suite errors. Tests (both fail on the previous code): a_hung_diagnostics_is_an_error_part_not_a_healthy_report, a_crashed_diagnostics_is_an_error_part.
Declined: a normal exit whose output is not diagnostics JSON still falls back to the --version check. I ran panic-attack 2.5.5: diagnostics is a plain-text self-check of panic-attack's own source tree ([OK]/[WARN]/[ERR] lines, exit 1 outside that tree) and never emits JSON. Treating non-JSON as an error would make every real run error. If you want a strict contract, panic-attack needs a machine-readable diagnostics first.
…ipped dynamic is not a run
- assay/assault/ambush/adjudicate run with a scratch cwd; every path argument
is now canonicalised first, so 'panicbot scan .' no longer surveys an empty
tree and reports clean.
- A diagnostics timeout, spawn failure or signal death is an error part, not a
healthy report synthesised from --version.
- A dynamic report whose axis results are all skipped is not_applicable with
the skip reasons, not ran; adjudicate is then not fed it.

bots/panicbot/src/fleet.rs:117 Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Bound the diagnostics call at fleet.rs:117 by the suite budget.
run_fleet_suite calls scanner::run_diagnostics(config.timeout) after suite::run_suite returns. The call is not gated on the budget. It runs whenever a part ran or errored, including when the budget is already spent. A hung panic-attack can then hold this call for up to config.timeout (300 s by default), after the suite has used up to config.budget (240 s). The total can exceed the 300 s adapter limit that config.rs:28-32 says the budget keeps under.
The suite's diagnostics part already runs the same health check. Reuse that result when it ran. Otherwise, pass only the budget that remains as the timeout.

Review comments at @bots/panicbot/src/scanner.rs:
- Line 817: Update the scanner timeout cleanup around child.kill so each
invocation runs in a dedicated process group and timeout termination stops the
entire group, including the dynamic target and its descendants, before panicbot
returns; preserve the existing timeout behavior.
- Line 639: Update the dynamic report acceptance check on report.attack_results
to require at least one result with a non-skipped axis; reject reports when all
axes are skipped while preserving the existing empty-results rejection.
- Line 587: Resolve the scan target and any dynamic --source path to absolute
paths before invoking the subprocess from run_to_report; update run_assay’s
target handling so relative inputs such as "." still refer to the original
working directory. Preserve already-absolute paths and existing scan behavior.
- Line 356: Update the compatibility fallback around
version_run.status.success() so it applies only when diagnostics explicitly
reports an unsupported subcommand. Preserve timeouts and other diagnostic
execution failures as errors, allowing the suite to record Error rather than
Ran.
- Line 322: Update run_diagnostics to compute one deadline before invoking
run_panic_attack_plain for --version, then pass only the time remaining until
that deadline to the diagnostics invocation. Preserve the existing timeout
behavior while ensuring the combined subprocess runtime stays within the
original budget.
Review comments at @bots/ponsbot/src/scanner.rs:
- Around line 146-147: Update the scanner’s child-process timeout and wait-error
paths so descendants cannot keep captured pipes open: terminate the child’s
process group on timeout and perform equivalent cleanup on wait errors. Bound
stdout and stderr collection by the same deadline, ensuring the reader-thread
joins cannot block past it; use a process-group approach supported by the
scanner’s target platforms.
- Around line 92-94: Update find_pons to resolve any relative PONS_BIN value to
an absolute executable path before run_pons passes it to Command::new with
current_dir(dir); retain the existing validation and report resolution failures
through the function’s established error handling.
Review comments at @docs/REPORT-BACK.adoc:
- Line 40: Update the --pons handling to compare a format-valid SHA with the
commit read from bots/ponsbot/canon/pin.toml using the existing pin-file reading
approach in fleet-report-back.sh; if they differ, reject installation using the
same failure behavior as the format check. Update the documentation sentence to
specify that --pons <SHA> must match the pinned commit and explain how callers
obtain that SHA.

Do not replace a diagnostic failure with version-check success.
If --version succeeds but diagnostics times out, the diagnostic error is discarded and this fallback sets healthy: true.

Resolve scan paths before changing the working directory.
With panicbot scan ., run_assay passes "." unchanged, but run_to_report starts panic-attack in the scratch directory. Assay therefore scans the empty scratch directory and returns a valid empty survey instead of repository findings. The relative dynamic --source path has the same problem. Canonicalize both paths before invoking the subprocess. Upstream assay resolves its target from the subprocess working directory. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Reject reports in which every axis was skipped.
Panic-attack can return nonempty results with every axis marked skipped when the target rejects its arguments. This check accepts that report. With only assault allowed, the suite drops every result, records Ran, and can emit an empty findings array with exit code 0. Require at least one non-skipped axis before accepting a dynamic report.

Honor directives that deny diagnostics
When a repository directive denies diagnostics, the new suite correctly records that part as denied, but run_fleet_suite later unconditionally calls scanner::run_diagnostics(config.timeout) again for A2ML metadata. Thus panicbot fleet still executes a command the repository explicitly disabled; it also adds up to another full per-command timeout outside the suite's 240-second budget. Reuse the suite's recorded version when diagnostics ran, and leave metadata unknown when it was denied.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Reject an empty report from pons exit 1
When pons exits 1 but returns a valid report with an empty findings array, this branch accepts it as Ran; main then prints the empty array and exits 0, so report-back records a clean scan even though exit 1 means pons' finding threshold was reached. Require at least one finding for status 1, otherwise treat the contradictory output as an adapter error.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Require an explicit clean source stamp
When tool.source_dirty is missing, has the wrong type, or contains any value other than the string "true", this check treats the report as clean and accepts its findings. A modified or unstamped pons binary can therefore report the expected source_commit while omitting the dirtiness stamp, and its findings enter a gating row despite the adapter claiming to verify the pinned build. Require the documented "false" value and reject every other shape.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Propagate suite failures from fleet mode
When one of the newly added suite parts such as assay fails, run_fleet_suite marks the returned BotExecution as failed, but cmd_fleet only serializes that status and still returns Ok(()). The checked fleet-coordinator.sh path invokes panicbot fleet and relies on its process status, so it counts this incomplete audit as successful without parsing the JSON. Return a nonzero status when the suite execution failed.
… minus deny, deed-declared target (#672)
Implements the owner rulings of 2026-11-13 for panicbot
(`bots/panicbot`). Based on `main` (#670 has merged).
1. **Deny-only directives** mean the full suite minus the deny; an
explicit `allow` still narrows; deny wins. The old static-trio default
(and `AllowedCommands::legacy_static`) is removed.
2. **Directives from the repo deed.** Order: the `(bot :name panicbot
...)` entry in `(bot-directives ...)` of `<repo>_chora.deed` at the repo
root; else the legacy `.machine_readable/bot_directives/panicbot.a2ml`
(read only, no target); else the full suite with no target. If the deed
entry exists the legacy file is ignored with a note.
3. **Dynamic target.** `(target :build "..." :program "...")`: `:build`
runs once via `sh -c` in the scanned repo, timeout drawn from the suite
budget; `:program` goes through the existing canonicalise/executable
checks. A failed build is an `error` part and nothing is attacked.
`pull_request_target` / `workflow_run` refuse the build as well as the
attack. No target: dynamic parts are `not_applicable` ("no target
declared in the deed (bot-directives (bot :name panicbot (target …)))").
CLI `--target` overrides the declared target, build included.
## Design notes
- No deed reader existed in gitbot-fleet, so `src/deed.rs` is a small
strict reader following `deed.abnf`. It is a reader, not the validator
(`deed_lint` stays the gate). Malformed deed or clause shapes are
errors, never a default.
- **One spelling:** `(bot :name panicbot ...)` only (standards #1502).
The bare form `(bot panicbot ...)` is an error naming the canonical
spelling.
- `build.rs` is new and `Engine` gains `build`. `scanner.rs` and
`main.rs` are untouched.
## Tests
Deny-only (deed and legacy), allow plus deny, deed over legacy, legacy
fallback, neither source, malformed-shape table, bare bot form is an
error (unit and CLI level), two deeds at the root, target built then
assault/ambush/adjudicate on a stub engine, failed build, refused build
under both privileged triggers, build timeout from the budget, CLI
override, real `sh -c` build tests, CLI-level stub tests. Three legacy
tests that asserted the old trio default now assert the full suite, as
the ruling requires. Run: `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy
--all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo test` in bots/panicbot,
`STANDARDS_DIR=... tests/fleet-report-back-test.sh` (223 passed) and
`tests/fleet-report-back-build-test.sh` (65 passed).
## Not done
`:build` runs repository code by design and is not sandboxed beyond the
privileged-trigger refusal and the timeout.

Follow-up to #670. Each finding was checked against current main; every
one was a real defect. Each fix has a test that fails on main and passes
here.

| 1 | panicbot kills only panic-attack on timeout, descendants survive

| `fleet-report-back-build.sh` installs nothing (warning, ponsbot reads
`not_run`) when `--pons` differs from `bots/ponsbot/canon/pin.toml` or
the pin is unreadable; `docs/REPORT-BACK.adoc` updated | cases in
`tests/fleet-report-back-build-test.sh` |
Checks: `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D
warnings`, `cargo test` in panicbot and ponsbot;
`tests/fleet-report-back-test.sh` (223 passed) and
`tests/fleet-report-back-build-test.sh` (69 passed).
The #669 jsonc comment finding went onto that PR's own branch.

Resolves conflicts with #667/#668/#670: every finding names a file (#668)
while SCM-001/MACH-007 stay retired, git-seo reports as skipped, and
fleet-report-back keeps skip reasons beside the adapter exit-status guard
and the unpathed-finding warning. Drops default() on unit structs in the
new finishingbot scope test so clippy stays clean.

What this is
Phase 0 of
docs/migrations/scanner-cutover-ponsbot-panicbot.adoc(#666). Nothing is enrolled, no grid row or direct lane is removed, no cutover workflow changes.Owner rulings recorded (2026-11-12)
D0 (scanners stay external engines; only direct lanes retire), D1 (SPECULATIVE pons findings carried, never graded blocking), G1 (pons gates), G2 (panic-attack does not gate; panicbot advisory). The phase-2 "keep PA_GATES block-on-critical" carry-over is removed. Scope sentence added: the bots are estate tooling, external users scan for themselves for now. Labels G1/G2 are the doc's own.
ponsbot (
bots/ponsbot)ponsbot --format json scan <dir>runs pons as a subprocess (cwd = scanned dir,scan --format json ., no--no-speculative), writes nothing into the tree.source_commit-> error. Nothing maps to a pass. Non-ran results print{"status","reason"}(exit 2/3), never an empty array.tier,evidence_class,pons_severity. pons ERROR ->error, WARN ->warning; SPECULATIVE (and unknown classes) are carried atinfo. Heuristics are labelled in the message.bots/ponsbot/canon/pin.toml=bca1ea289a4f8a86bac6212731e6f8ec15c67ad4, thepons-refdefault in standardshypatia-scan-reusable.yml(main f0b3cd4). Not invented.--pons SHAinstall infleet-report-back-build.sh(cached by commit, never fatal). Added to therust.ymlmatrix.BotId::Ponsbotadded (Display, from_str, tier, BotInfo) but left out ofall(): the adapter has report-back mode only, andall()feedsregister_all_bots, so it would make verifier-tier completion wait on a bot the coordinator cannot run. Test asserts this.Gating (for phase 1 enrolments)
The renderer reads gating from the enrolment's per-reporter
gatingboolean (verdict-grid.jq), not the envelope, so the envelope carries no gating field. Enrolments must set"gating": truefor ponsbot and leave panicbot without it. Tested against the real renderer whenSTANDARDS_DIRis set.panicbot parity (design section 5): three real holes, fixed at source
Tests written first failed on the old code:
statistics.total_lines(nothing analysed) was an emptyran.assailis now strict (non-zero exit, no/invalid report, unknown severity, zero lines -> error). Other subcommands keep their tolerance.bots/panicbot/canon/pin.tomlgains[build]=410a8f82..., the standards Hypatia lane / fork-governance value.Pins disagree (new open decision D7, please rule)

Workflows do not read the pin files yet. Also D6: does deep-recon's must-run check on panic-attack survive now that panicbot is advisory?Tests (actual)
