The retry landed in 9a232ad but was tested only through startupretry with
fake funcs; nothing exercised chassisauth.NewJWTValidator's real 502 path.
Extracts the main() closure into buildJWTValidator (behaviour unchanged)
and tests it against an httptest issuer: 3x502 then 200 succeeds with 4
discoveries; a persistent 502 stops at exactly the 8-attempt budget with
the last error; cancelling ctx mid-backoff returns context.Canceled.
Flip-verified: Attempts=1 turns all three red.
Lane: risk/medium issue, committed to main because the behaviour change
already shipped in 9a232ad; this is a test plus a pure extraction.

vectorstore.Sync walks and reads via brainfs (regular files only, handle-checked), so symlinked notes are no longer embedded and their old chunks are purged. brainfs.WalkRegular requires every component of its root to be a real directory (fixes in-brain root aliasing in Sync and search Wing/Wing+Hall).

The scrubber had a rule for `postgres://user:pass@` and none for the
general `scheme://user:secret@host` form — which is exactly what a git
credential store holds:
https://<user>:<token>@git.d-ma.be
Verified against all 13 DefaultRules with an invented value: it matched
none of them. Not authorization-header, not bearer-token, and not
homelab-env-token, which needs a `_TOKEN=`-style prefix a bare URL does
not have. So such a turn was ingested rather than dropped, against the
stated intent in this file's own doc comment:
Fail-closed by design: we'd rather lose signal than ingest
credentials into a public-readable brain.
It failed closed for the shapes it named and open for this one.
How it surfaced: a test suite in mathias/infra executed a script that
configures git while inheriting the operator's real $HOME, read koala's
live ~/.git-credentials, and printed two live values. ~/.claude/projects
is this watcher's own input, so the scrubber was the last line of defence
for that mistake. A sweep of that tree found 12 occurrences of 2 distinct
credential-shaped URLs across 4 transcripts in 3 sessions — so the shape
had been passing for a while, not just that once. Both credentials are
being rotated (infra#466).
The generalisable point is not "do not read the credential file". That
mistake will recur. It is that this shape must fail closed, because the
scrubber is what decides whether such a mistake is survivable or
permanent.
Ordering: the new rule sits after postgres-uri-with-password so a DSN
still reports the more specific name, the same convention as
authorization-header before bearer-token.
Both directions are tested, because a rule that dropped every URL with a
colon would discard most of the signal this watcher exists to keep. The
{8,} floor on the secret half keeps `https://host:443/path` and
`https://user:@host` out; the `[^:\s/@]+` user half stops a host:port
pair being read as userinfo. Must-not-scrub cases include a host with a
port, a password-less DSN, a colon in a query string, and the literal
printf format string `https://oauth2:%s@%s`.

infra's scripts/context-sync.sh is the estate canonical, and it moved in infra
262369b (a SIGPIPE fix on the placeholder-reporting path: `printf | grep -o |
head -1` became `head -1 < <(grep -o ...)`). Every other repo still carried the
old line, so ContextSyncScriptDrift and ContextAdapterDrift were both firing.
Also picks up the canonical AGENT.md change from local-dev a01ee80 — rule 5's
GitOps review lane and the new precedence rule — which every repo's adapters
need regenerated for regardless of the script.

ContextAdapterDrift was firing for 13 repos. Picks up behaviour rule 7
("Finish what's closable"), which landed in ~/dev/.context/AGENT.md and never
reached any repo's derived files.
Where mcp.json changes, it also picks up root MCP config the repo was stale on:
brain/gitea/infra move from public hostnames to tailnet Serve URLs, and gitea's
bearer changes from GITEA_MCP_TOKEN to DMABE_GITEA_API_TOKEN — gitea-mcp
authenticates by pass-through and 401s on the former, so a harness syncing from
the old file had a dead gitea server and no signal saying so.
No literal secrets: mcp.json carries ${VAR} placeholders only.
CLAUDE.md deliberately unchanged — context-sync writes it from PROJECT.md alone,
since Claude Code walks up to ~/dev/CLAUDE.md for root context.

7 review rounds closed 8 distinct bypasses across two mechanism families: fence-detection (field-name substring, block-containment, fence-stripping, CRLF, UTF-8 BOM) and value-extraction (folded YAML block scalar hiding an invalid value). A known v1 gap remains in the block-scalar fold's handling of blank-line-interrupted continuations — documented on checkClaimEnvelope, accepted deliberately (narrow, requires an already-privileged caller deliberately constructing a specific malformed-YAML shape) rather than chased past diminishing returns. Real fix (shared, tested, encoding-normalized frontmatter parser) tracked separately as hyperguild#138.

Two runs of the full build+deploy fired for every push, and the second died:
nothing to commit, working tree clean
❌ Failure - Main Update infra repo
The deploy was fine both times — the second run had nothing left to do. The
cause is the pair of triggers meeting: ci.yml ran on `push` to main AND on a
`v*` tag, and cd.yml keys off "CI succeeded", so `git push origin main` followed
by `git push origin refs/tags/vX` produced two CI runs for one sha and two
deploys behind them. The tag run carries the same github.sha, so it rebuilt the
same image and then found the infra manifest already pointing at it.
Nothing consumed the tag-triggered run: there is no release workflow, and cd.yml
reads github.sha rather than the tag. Dropping `tags:` removes the duplicate
build outright.
The idempotency guard stays anyway, because a manual re-run has the same shape
and should not ring the CI-red alarm for work that is already done — infra#366
turns a red run into a tracked issue, so a false red costs a real triage.

AutoTunnel matched note titles case-insensitively, so a one-word title linked
every entry that happened to use that word. Measured on the live corpus: 185
entries carry an auto-written See-also link to wiki/telos/decisions/wrong.md
(title "WRONG") and 136 to .../status.md — the two most-linked nodes in the
whole graph, and both of them artifacts of the English language rather than
references. telos's projects/problems/strategies/goals/beliefs entries account
for another ~60 between them.
That pollution is not cosmetic: inbound-link count is what the duplicate
Fixer picks survivors by, what orphan detection reads, and what brain_graph
shows.
One-word titles now need the title's own casing in the prose ("WRONG", "BERT",
"NLP" — an entity name in a sentence still links). Multi-word titles keep the
case-insensitive match: "risk tier middleware" is a real mention however it is
capitalised, and a three-word collision is not an accident.

The BrainStore is not the only door. POST /write — the HTTP path CLAUDE.md
hands to curl and scripts — calls api.WriteNote directly, so the strip
shipped one commit ago covered brain_write and capture while leaving the raw
door ungated. A gate one door wide is not a gate.
The BrainStore keeps its own call so it can still report Ref.Unlinked to the
MCP caller; running the strip twice is a no-op on content the primitive has
already cleaned.

Every brain write accepted [[targets]] that resolve to nothing — skill
names, repo names, agent-local memory-file slugs — and each one became a
permanent [high] broken-link finding. The brain-audit digest grew 19 -> 63
high findings between 2026-08-26 and 2026-09-16; 53 of the 63 were exactly
this, and none are fixable by brain-gardener's BrokenLinkFixer, which only
repoints edit-distance-1 renames. There is no target to repoint to.
StripUnresolvedLinks resolves each link against knowledge/ + wiki/ using
brain-gardener's own resolver semantics (bare slug or wing/hall/slug path
form, code spans excluded) and unwraps the misses to plain text, reporting
them as Ref.Unlinked / the MCP `unlinked` field.
Unwrap rather than reject: a refused write on claudewatcher's unattended
ingest path is a lost learning, and the author's words are worth keeping
even when the link is not. An empty corpus is a no-op, so a misconfigured
brainDir cannot strip every link in a note.

CLAUDE_INGEST_SKIP_PROJECTS takes filepath.Match globs tested against
the project directory NAME, and a matching directory is skipped during
the directory WALK — so its files are never opened and their content
never enters the process. That is a stronger property than filtering
after reading, and the difference is observable: without SkipDir,
WalkDir lists the directory's entries, and an unreadable one aborts the
entire walk, silently stopping ingestion for every other project.
Globs rather than exact names because a project directory is derived
from the session's working directory, so a git worktree yields an
ephemeral name no exact-match list could keep up with.
An unparseable pattern refuses to run. filepath.Match returns an error
ALONGSIDE a false match, so a bad pattern checked per-file would ingest
the directory while the log complained — the failure nobody notices.
Validated once, up front, in both entry points.
This complements the client-name scrubber rather than replacing it. The
scrubber drops individual turns whose content matches a client
identity; this excludes whole workspaces whose content is confidential
in ways no pattern reliably recognises. Learnings from excluded
sessions are captured deliberately through the session-close ritual
instead.
Recorded caveat: the project directory reflects the session's working
directory, NOT the repositories it touches. A session run from ~/dev
that reads an excluded repo is not excluded by this. The scrubber
remains the control for content; this is a control for workspaces.
A mutation test earned the strongest assertion here: the original tests
could not distinguish SkipDir from filtering after the walk, because
neither opens files. The unreadable-directory test can.

Adopting it turned CI red, and my pre-push verification missed why:
`golangci-lint run ./...` does NOT traverse into nested Go modules. This repo
has two — ./go.mod and ./ingestion/go.mod. I linted the root (0 issues, which
CI reproduces exactly) and never linted ingestion/, which has 3 findings:
ingestion/internal/audit/degrading.go:81 missing case capture.AuditCentral (exhaustive)
ingestion/internal/capture/entities.go:37 missing case capture.ZoneUnknown (exhaustive)
ingestion/internal/mcp/handlers.go:29 var int_ should be int (revive)
Those are behavioural questions and a rename, not formatting — the same class
of finding that kept cad, dispatch, ingestion-svc, dma-cli and
email-triage-agent out of the earlier waves. Consistent with that, this repo
goes back in the queue rather than being force-fitted now.
The gofumpt formatting from the same commit is kept: it is independently
correct and already green.
Verification method corrected going forward: a repo with nested modules must
be linted per module, not once from the root.
Canonical lives at infra ci-templates/golangci.yml, distributed by the
infra#309 pattern: byte-identical copies, checksum drift gate in infra. Do
not edit this file here -- edit the canonical and run `task ci:sync`.
Verified locally before pushing, not pushed-and-hoped: golangci-lint v2.11.4
against a Go 1.26.1 toolchain (matching CI) reports 0 issues here.
Also applies gofumpt, which this config enables and the golangci-lint v2
default set does not check at all. That gap is why the drift was invisible:
earlier passes ran gofmt, which is weaker. Mechanical, deterministic,
build+vet verified.
Estate-wide consolidation pass. golangci-lint v2 default set enables NO
formatter, so gofmt drift accumulated silently across the estate -- 8 repos
were carrying it, this one included. Same hole that let two files rot in
dma-cli until they were found by hand (dma-cli#12).
Mechanical and deterministic: `gofmt -w`, nothing hand-edited. Verified
before commit -- gofmt -l now reports 0, go build and go vet both pass.
Clears this repo to adopt the canonical .golangci.yml (infra
ci-templates/golangci.yml, infra#309 pattern) in a later wave.
hyperguild's Taskfile ran context:sync unconditionally in 'check', with no
guard for the CI runner having no ancestor .context/AGENT.md. That made it
silently regenerate AGENTS.md and .context/system-prompt.txt from project
context alone (82 lines vs. the committed, correct 430) and then fail its
own drift assertion against that wrong baseline every run -- a false
positive, not real drift. Verified locally: syncing with the real root
context reproduces the committed 430-line files byte for byte; syncing
without it (as CI does) produces the shorter fallback that triggered this.
Same guard dma-cli and gitea-mcp already carry, same rationale: drift is
now caught either on a developer machine or by infra's estate-wide
context-sync-drift CronJob (ADR-0019), which does have canonical access.
The previous commit's regeneration produced AGENTS.md byte-identical to
CLAUDE.md (82 lines, project-only) instead of the expected root+project
concatenation (430 lines) -- root_block() rendered empty despite the run's
own log claiming "Root context: .../AGENT.md" and "AGENTS.md (root +
project...)". Not reproduced: re-running the identical command
(ROOT_CONTEXT=.../AGENT.md bash scripts/context-sync.sh) immediately after
produces the correct 430-line output every time. Whatever caused the
original miss was transient and is not diagnosed here -- flagging rather
than asserting a cause I have not confirmed.
Caught by the estate-wide context-sync-drift gate's own verification run,
not by trusting the fix commit. Regenerated fresh and confirmed root
content is present before committing this time.
Caught by the new estate-wide context-sync-drift gate (infra, ADR-0019).
This repo's copy had diverged from the canonical established in dma-cli/
infra -- synced to it, dead Cursor/Aider artifacts removed (2026-09-01
harness decision), Taskfile's drift assertion narrowed to match, adapters
regenerated against the current canonical AGENT.md.
Changed:
M .context/system-prompt.txt

infra#344. The removed block suppressed
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-22-phase4-attempt-wiring.md, and its description
stated why:
"Literal placeholder word REDACTED matched as if it were a token
(verified 2026-08-04: extracted Secret == 'REDACTED' exactly, gitleaks'
curl-auth-header rule matched the placeholder text itself, not a real
credential)"
That is not what the file contained. Line 1054 carried a real 40-character hex
Gitea PAT in an `Authorization: token ...` header — not the eight-character word
REDACTED. Whether the file changed after the check or the check was wrong, the
justification has been guarding the wrong thing since.
Confirmed dead by side-effect before touching it, never by printing it: `GET
/api/v1/user` with that token returns 401. So there is nothing to rotate. It is
redacted here anyway, because a dead credential in a doc is still a working
example of how to write a live one, and git history keeps the original either
way.
Two independent failures had to line up, which is the same pair as infra#256:
1. The `paths` clause made the block far broader than its description. gitleaks
ORs global allowlist clauses and ignores `condition = "AND"`, so the ENTIRE
file was immune — a live token pasted into that doc tomorrow would have been
suppressed on the strength of a note about a different value.
2. The justification was never re-checked against the file it justifies.
With the token redacted the allowlist has nothing left to do, so it is deleted
rather than narrowed. Repo scans clean, and a planted live-shaped credential in
that same file is now caught.

llm.Router was primary-then-fallback (berget -> iguana ollama). Both

A Gitea PAT was pasted into a CD-watching curl command in a 2026-04-22
planning doc (c9310b10, last_eight 3105a670).
Verified dead before dispositioning it, rather than assuming: authenticating
GET /api/v1/user with that exact value returns 401. It was almost certainly
invalidated by the early-August rotation of the `mathias` PATs -- the same
rotation whose fan-out caused infra#260, where CI's stale copies kept
failing. So it was killed for unrelated reasons, by luck rather than by the
leak being noticed.
No rotation outstanding. `task security:gitleaks:history` now exits 0 here.
Used .gitleaksignore (per-finding fingerprint) rather than a path allowlist
in .gitleaks.toml: a path allowlist would also blind the working-tree scan
that gates commits. Verified both directions -- history 1 -> 0, working tree
still clean.
task check -> security:gitleaks was already CI-enforced here, but that
catches a leak after the push, not before -- exactly the gap infra#39's
prevention checklist called out ("gitleaks pre-commit hook in both infra
and hyperguild"), true for infra but not this repo.
Mirrors infra's own .githooks/pre-commit, minus the YAML/image-tag
checks that are infra-manifest-specific and don't apply here.
Verified functionally, not just wired: staged a real high-entropy fake
key and confirmed `git commit` is blocked by the hook
(RuleID=generic-api-key); staged a well-known documented-example AWS
key (AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE) first and confirmed gitleaks correctly
passes it (it's not a real leak, and gitleaks' own default rules know
that) -- worth recording since a naive fixture check would have looked
like detection was broken.
Enable per clone: git config core.hooksPath .githooks
On 2026-08-25 a deploy job ran with an empty IMAGE_TAG, wrote
`image: localhost:5000/gitea-mcp:` into the infra repo and pushed it.
That is invalid YAML, so Flux failed the ENTIRE apps Kustomization --
every app stopped reconciling for about an hour, including three
unrelated deploys queued behind it.
This job's existing check could not catch it. It greps for
`image: <repo>:${IMAGE_TAG}` after the sed, and with IMAGE_TAG empty that
pattern matches the corrupted line itself, so the verification passes
because of the bug rather than despite it.
Asserting the input up front is the fix: an empty tag now fails the job
before anything is written, let alone committed.

First half of brain#21: half_life (volatile|seasonal|durable), applies
(local|homelab|universal), claim_provenance (asserted|inferred).
writeHallNote already passed unknown frontmatter keys through verbatim, so
preservation was free — a test now pins it so a refactor of the merge loop
cannot silently drop the fields. What was missing is validation, and it
fails closed: a value outside the enum is rejected (a lint skips what it
cannot parse, so the note would read as classified while nothing acts on
it); an envelope field without claim_provenance is rejected (a value a
model inferred must never be indistinguishable from one a human asserted,
or a single classifier pass launders guesses into apparent judgement
across the corpus); provenance alone is rejected too.
Validation runs before MkdirAll, so a rejected write leaves nothing behind.
The field is `applies`, not `scope`: scope: has been in use since brain#5
for glossary terms (homelab-core, project:<repo>), a disjoint value space
on the same key. The shipped schema keeps the name.
Notes with none of these fields are byte-identical to before. Bulk
backfill stays out of scope.
Schema documented in brain/CLAUDE.md via brain_edit_root, which produced
the hyperguild#97 audit record for the rewrite.

A forge search for "brain-mcp" returned nothing for this repo: the description
mentioned neither the brain nor brain-mcp, and the README never used the string
or the hostname. Both appeared only in the generated CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md. Since
#91 part 2 decided the code stays in ingestion, discoverability is answered by
naming.
Adds a "Where brain-mcp lives" section: the ingress, the package, a table
mapping what-you-are-looking-for to where-it-is (including that the brain
content is a separate repo), and why it is not standalone, with a pointer to
the ADR.
Also repoints the README's three forge links from the decommissioned
gitea.d-ma.be alias to git.d-ma.be. Dated files under docs/superpowers are
left alone — they record what was true when written.
Repo description and topics were set through the forge API, and NPM's
default-site was changed from congratulations to 404 so a retired hostname
reads as absent rather than as a moved repo.

brain_edit_root was gated but unobserved: on success it emitted a slog.Warn
and nothing else. That proves a rewrite was allowed, not that one happened —
and brain-sync commits it within 15 minutes authored `brain-sync`, so git
history cannot tell a CLAUDE.md rewrite apart from routine note traffic.
A successful brain_edit_root now emits an ntfy notification and an AuditEntry
through the same sink a capture already uses. notes.Result gains
PrevContentHash so both ends of the change are identifiable.
Path and hashes only in the notification body. Reserved at Internal, not
Confidential, because Confidential makes DegradingSink refuse to record while
loki is down rather than buffer. Observation is best-effort and never fails
the call; a failure to observe logs at ERROR.
Ordinary brain_edit on knowledge//wiki/ is deliberately not audited — git
history already carries the same before/after bytes with a diff.
Closes#97.

brain_read returns a note verbatim; brain_edit is str_replace with an
exactly-once match, operating on the tree brain-sync commits from.
An adversarial design review before implementation changed three things:
1. Governance files are not in the model-facing tool. Brain content is
ingested from the outside world and reaches a model's context, and that
model would hold the editor — one poisoned page could rewrite the
CLAUDE.md a .dispatch-allow agent later loads as instructions. And
brain-sync merges with --strategy-option=ours, so the live tree beats a
human's corrective push on the conflicting lines. CLAUDE.md now goes
through brain_edit_root: de-surfaced from tools/list and gated on the
local static principal. The scopes are disjoint — the privileged door
has the smaller reach.
2. Reads needed the same allowlist, and brain_get already lacked it: it
returned verbatim session transcripts under archive/ by path. A test
proved the exposure live before the fix.
3. Canonicalise before allowlisting — knowledge/../.git/hooks/post-commit
would otherwise reach a hook that brain-sync executes in a pod holding
the Gitea push credentials.
Plus overlapping match counting, UTF-8 validation both ways, refusal while
git is mid-operation, flock with the read inside the lock, atomic
same-dir rename, and reindex only when frontmatter is touched.
Refs brain#4.

The tickets array was never broken. Every ticket in the reported batch
targeted a client repo, and the I1 gate refuses a confidential capture
through a us-nexus origin at any length — reproduced live: length 1 and
20 both fine for an internal repo, length 1 refused for a client one.
What made it look like an array bug is that the refusal named neither the
offending target nor that a policy had said no, so with 20 tickets in
flight "the array is broken" was a reasonable conclusion. The refusal now
names the targets carrying the effective classification, and tells a
caller who declared confidential themselves exactly that.
Regression tests at length 1 and 20 pin the path that was already
correct; a third pins per-item partial success.
Closes#91 part 1.
