From 6afd62b844de21f95378171d43a39453e8b3e915 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Connally Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 16:39:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/10] fix(redaction): scope long_hex_secret to credential context (#136) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The pre-1.0.6 default rule `\b[a-fA-F0-9]{40,}\b` silently destroyed git commit hashes (40 hex chars), SHA-256 sums (64 hex chars), Docker digests, and Atlassian content hashes in any rendered output that crossed the trust boundary. `@query "git log --oneline"` produced `[REDACTED:long_hex_secret]` for every commit hash, with no recovery path. The rule now requires an explicit credential anchor before matching: (?i)(?:secret|token|key|password|passwd|api[_-]?key|auth(?:orization)?) \s*[:=]\s*["']?([a-fA-F0-9]{40,})["']? Real secrets in credential context are still caught; bare hashes pass through. Internals: - New `_anchor_group` field on rule dicts identifies which capture group holds the secret payload. _sub() in redact_text() replaces only that span while preserving surrounding context verbatim. - Legacy prefix-preserve behavior (group(1) is a prefix) is retained for bearer_header and other existing rules — controlled by absence of _anchor_group. Tests (tests/test_redaction.py): - test_bare_git_sha1_is_not_redacted_by_defaults - test_bare_sha256_checksum_is_not_redacted_by_defaults - test_credential_anchored_hex_IS_redacted - test_credential_anchored_hex_preserves_surrounding_context - test_bearer_header_prefix_still_preserved - test_at_query_git_log_output_survives_redaction All 27 redaction tests pass. test_edge_cases.py parity vs main confirmed (0 net new failures).

Render-time redaction only applies to the final assembled output, not to audit fields or to error strings constructed before the redaction pass runs. Two fixes: src/perseus/audit.py: - audit_event() now passes every user-supplied field value through redact_text() before serializing to JSONL. Structural fields (directive, exit_code, duration_ms, pid, etc.) are exempt via an explicit allowlist (_AUDIT_NEVER_REDACT_KEYS) — they are never user-supplied secrets. - New _audit_redact_value() helper walks nested dicts and lists recursively. - New config knob audit.redact_fields (default true). Operators can set false for forensic mode where the audit log is itself the secured artifact. - On redact_text failure, fall back to raw value rather than dropping the audit entry — observability beats perfect redaction, and rendered output is the primary defense. src/perseus/directives/query.py: - Exit-nonzero header: cmd + stderr now passed through redact_text before interpolation. - No-output message: cmd redacted. - TimeoutExpired branch: cmd redacted. - Generic exception branch: str(exc) redacted (exc.args often includes the full cmd via shell argv).

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Pre-1.0.3, Mnēmē derived per-workspace narrative file names from an MD5 hash of the canonicalized workspace path. v1.0.3 switched to SHA-256 without any migration path. On upgrade, every existing narrative file on disk was silently orphaned: `_mneme_path()` returned a path that didn't exist, Mnēmē reported "No narrative found for this workspace", and started fresh. The old MD5 files sat on disk untouched (preserved, but unreachable through any documented command). This patch makes the upgrade lossless and gives operators a manual recovery tool for edge cases. Changes: src/perseus/mneme_narrative.py: - New _workspace_hash_legacy_md5(): reproduces the pre-1.0.3 hash exactly. Uses hashlib.md5(canonical, usedforsecurity=False) so FIPS-mode Pythons don't reject it (it's a file-naming hash, not a security primitive). Falls back to no-kwarg call on Python < 3.9. - _mneme_path() now performs a one-shot in-place migration: if the SHA-256 path doesn't exist but the legacy MD5 path does, os.replace atomically renames it. Idempotent. If both paths exist (race or operator staging), SHA-256 wins and legacy file is left untouched. If the rename fails (cross-device, permission), both files are preserved and the caller creates a fresh narrative at the SHA-256 path (non-fatal). - New _mneme_doctor_scan(): classifies every *.md in the memory store as sha256, legacy_md5, orphan (frontmatter workspace doesn't match filename), or unknown (non-hex stem). Returns a structured dict. - New _mneme_doctor_migrate(): walks scan output and renames every legacy MD5 file. Returns a report of migrated/skipped/errors tuples. src/perseus/agora.py: - New cmd_memory_doctor handler. Plain-text or JSON output. Read-only scan by default; `--migrate` flag performs the renames. src/perseus/cli.py: - Register `perseus memory doctor` subcommand with `--migrate` and `--json`. Tests (tests/test_mneme.py): - test_mneme_path_auto_migrates_legacy_md5_file - test_mneme_path_no_migration_when_sha256_already_exists - test_mneme_path_is_idempotent_after_migration - test_memory_doctor_scan_classifies_files (4 file types) - test_memory_doctor_migrate_renames_legacy_files (idempotent check) - test_memory_doctor_migrate_skips_when_destination_exists All 6 new regression tests pass. All 19 mneme tests pass. CLI help confirmed: `perseus memory doctor --help` works end-to-end.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Pre-1.0.6, `perseus memory compact` with an LLM provider configured could hang for hours. The root cause: _mneme_compact_llm() → run_llm() only enforced llm.timeout_s (default 30s) on the HTTP request itself. With streaming-token providers like Ollama serving large models, individual tokens arrive within timeout but total wall time was unbounded. This patch adds a true wall-clock deadline at the _memory_do_compact() level, with deterministic fallback so operators always get a usable narrative. src/perseus/agora.py: - _memory_do_compact() now wraps the LLM call in ThreadPoolExecutor.future.result(timeout=total_timeout). - New knob: memory.compact_total_timeout_s (default 180s). - On timeout: stderr message + audit_event('memory_compact_timeout', ...) + fall back to _deterministic_narrative. - On generic LLM exception (provider unreachable, payload error): same deterministic fallback path. memory compact never propagates LLM failures up to the operator. - Executor is shutdown(wait=False, cancel_futures=True) so the call returns immediately on timeout. The worker thread is daemonized and cannot block process exit. src/perseus/config.py: - Add memory.compact_total_timeout_s: 180 to DEFAULT_CONFIG with explanatory comment about pre-1.0.6 behavior and the 0=disabled escape hatch. Limitation (documented in code + CHANGELOG): Python's ThreadPoolExecutor cannot truly kill a running thread. The in-flight HTTP request continues until urllib's per-request timeout fires. Worst-case wait is therefore compact_total_timeout_s + llm.timeout_s. Daemonized so it doesn't block exit. Tests (tests/test_memory.py): - test_memory_compact_total_timeout_falls_back_to_deterministic — slow LLM mock exceeds 0.5s deadline; assert <1.5s return + deterministic body + stderr message - test_memory_compact_succeeds_within_total_timeout — fast LLM mock under deadline; assert LLM body present - test_memory_compact_llm_exception_falls_back_to_deterministic — exception in LLM path; assert no propagation + deterministic body + stderr message - test_memory_compact_default_timeout_is_180s — config default All 4 new regression tests pass. All 47 tests in test_memory.py and test_mneme.py pass.

The wrapper was a 'with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(...)' block, so executor.shutdown(wait=True) ran on exit — blocking the MCP response until the abandoned worker finished. A 5s timeout on 'sleep 600' blocked the response for ~600s. The two bugs reinforced each other: bug 2 only matters because bug 1 left a worker to wait for. Fixing either alone is insufficient. Changes: src/perseus/mcp.py: - _call_tool() switches to non-context-managed executor. shutdown( wait=False, cancel_futures=True) runs in a finally block — response returns within ~timeout seconds, never blocks on the worker. - On timeout, _call_tool reaches into directives.query via a new kill_active_subprocess_for_thread(tid) function. globals().get(...) lookup covers both the source-tree and built-artifact deployment. - Timeout response includes ' (subprocess killed)' suffix when the kill succeeded, for operator observability. src/perseus/directives/query.py: - Swap subprocess.run() for Popen + communicate(timeout=) so we can expose the live popen handle to upstream timeout wrappers. - start_new_session=True (POSIX) gives the child its own process group. Windows: fallback to taskkill /F /T /PID for tree kill. - New module-level _ACTIVE_SUBPROCESSES: dict[thread_id, Popen] guarded by _ACTIVE_SUBPROCESSES_LOCK. _record/_clear/_kill helpers manage it. - _kill_subprocess_tree() sends SIGTERM to PGID, waits 1s, then SIGKILL. Best-effort; falls back to proc.kill() on any error. - New public function kill_active_subprocess_for_thread(thread_id) for the MCP wrapper. - Subprocess registration cleared in finally so registry stays sane even when communicate() throws. Tests (tests/test_mcp.py): - test_call_tool_timeout_does_not_block_on_executor_shutdown — assert 1s timeout on 'sleep 10' returns in <3s (was ~10s pre-fix). - test_call_tool_timeout_actually_kills_subprocess — POSIX-only; uses pgrep with a unique marker to verify the sleep subprocess is killed within 0.5s of timeout. - test_call_tool_normal_completion_under_timeout — sanity: under- timeout calls still work end-to-end. - test_kill_active_subprocess_for_thread_returns_false_when_no_subprocess — the killer is safe to call when no subprocess is registered. - New helper _mcp_query_cfg() opts in perseus_query via tool_allowlist (required by 1.0.5 trust gates). All 4 new regression tests pass. test_mcp.py parity vs main confirmed (1 pre-existing failure unchanged; unrelated to this fix).

Any future refactor reordering these two calls — or a third caller invoking the profile-apply directly without knowing the convention — would silently revert a user who set both permissions.profile=balanced AND render.allow_query_shell=true to allow_query_shell=false. This is exactly the #129 scenario. Fix: src/perseus/config.py: - _apply_permission_profile() gains a new keyword-only arg skip_keys: set[tuple[str, str]] | None. Keys in skip_keys are not overwritten by the profile, structurally guaranteeing user-wins. - Backward compatible: callers passing no skip_keys get the legacy destructive merge. src/perseus/audit.py (load_config): - Pre-scans loaded_sources to collect (section, key) pairs the user has explicitly set across global + workspace configs. - Passes that set as skip_keys to _apply_permission_profile. - Emits a 'config_profile_overridden' audit event listing which user-set keys won out over the profile, so the layering decision is observable and debuggable. - Audit emission is best-effort (try/except around audit_event) to ensure config loading never fails on an audit-write hiccup. tests/test_permission_profiles.py (36 new tests): - 30 parametrized tests: 3 profiles × 5 boolean security gates × 2 override directions. For each combination, asserts the user value wins on the overridden key AND non-overridden keys still reflect the profile. - test_explicit_user_value_wins_when_set_to_same_value_as_profile: semantic equivalence still triggers an audit event. - test_workspace_overrides_global_for_profile_and_render: the most-realistic real-world layering scenario. - test_apply_permission_profile_skip_keys_directly: unit test for the new skip_keys parameter. - test_apply_permission_profile_legacy_no_skip_keys_still_works: backward compatibility safety net. - test_audit_log_records_profile_override_decision: audit event is emitted when override happens. - test_no_audit_event_when_user_does_not_override_profile_keys: no audit noise for non-profile-managed keys. All 54 tests pass (18 existing + 36 new). test_audit_log.py parity vs main confirmed (6 pre-existing failures unchanged). No config breaking changes. Behavior is strictly safer.

Silent: no error, no warning, no audit signal. Fix: pre-scan now tracks an @if/@else/@endif stack and evaluates each condition exactly once via the same evaluate_condition() used by the main render loop. The stack frames carry (active: bool, in_else_branch) so nested @if respects ancestor activity. Queries are only enqueued when ALL enclosing @if frames are active. The main render loop re-evaluates conditions independently, so any transient inconsistency in evaluation between pre-scan and main loop only manifests as a cache miss — never as a query running when it shouldn't, and never as a query failing to run when it should. Malformed/uneval conditions are treated as false in both the pre-scan and main loop, matching the existing failure mode. Tests (tests/test_bugfix_165_parallel_queries_control_flow.py — 8): - false-branch @query does NOT run with parallel_queries=True - true-branch @query DOES run with parallel_queries=True - else-branch @query runs when @if is false - if-branch @query skipped when else taken - nested inactive-outer means inner @query does NOT run - nested active-outer/active-inner means @query runs - behavior parity with parallel_queries=False - malformed @if skips both branches in pre-scan All 8 new tests pass. Net renderer-suite delta vs main: -1 failure (one previously-failing test now passes; the rest are pre-existing prefetch/schema flakes unrelated to this fix). Discovered by Codex code review (2026-06-03).

Result: secrets configured in redaction.patterns leaked through MCP to the connected client (Claude Desktop, Rovo Dev, etc.) even when redaction.enabled: true was set in config. Discovered by Codex code review (2026-06-03). Fix: src/perseus/mcp.py: - New helper _mcp_redact(result, cfg) honors redaction.enabled, type- guards non-string inputs, and swallows redactor exceptions defensively. Uses globals() lookup for build-artifact compatibility, falls back to explicit import in source mode. - _call_tool wraps every successful return path: - perseus_get_context: redact BEFORE serialization so JSON payloads carry already-redacted text. - perseus_get_health: redact resolver output. - Generic directive dispatch: redact result before return. - Exception path: redact the error string (resolver messages can echo user content). - Error strings constructed locally (e.g. 'Error: tool X not allowed') bypass redaction since they never echo user content. Tests (tests/test_bugfix_166_mcp_redaction.py — 10): - test_perseus_get_context_redacts_secret (markdown format) - test_perseus_get_context_json_format_redacts (JSON format) - test_perseus_get_context_preserves_secret_when_redaction_disabled (sanity) - test_perseus_query_result_redacts_secret (stdout redaction) - test_perseus_read_result_redacts_secret (file content redaction) - test_call_tool_exception_path_redacts (error path) - test_perseus_get_health_redacts (legacy resolver shortcut) - test_mcp_redact_returns_unchanged_when_disabled - test_mcp_redact_returns_non_str_unchanged - test_mcp_redact_swallows_redactor_exceptions All 10 new tests pass.
