Summary

Problem

The repo's domain e2e gate is a string match, so a name appearing in a comment or an unrelated fixture satisfies it. All four PRs passed that gate while nothing asserted their behaviour:

Solution

git_tool_refuses_a_workspace_repo_config_that_names_a_command — plants a core.fsmonitor hook that touches a marker, proven to run before it is planted, then calls GitOperationsTool::execute. The marker is asserted first, before anything about the result: an error alone cannot distinguish "refused" from "refused after spawning git", and asserting the error first would abort before reaching the question that matters.

git_tool_still_runs_under_an_ordinary_repository_config — the other direction. An allowlist that refused git init + an identity would make the tool useless, so this fails if ALLOWED_REPO_CONFIG is ever tightened past real repositories.

file_tools_cannot_reach_retained_legacy_state_in_the_workspace — full autonomy, workspace-relative paths (what an agent actually sends; workspace_only rejects every absolute path at path_checks.rs:88 for reasons unrelated to the denylist). Asserts the read is refused, the secret does not appear in the output, the write is refused, and the file is byte-identical afterwards — a refusal printed after the write would not pass. Covers redirect_links and codegraph too: same rationale, and a regression would take all three. A control read of an ordinary workspace file keeps it from passing because everything is blocked.

openclaw_import_names_a_null_classed_driver_rather_than_the_build — drives migration_helpers::rpc::migrate_openclaw, the function the config.openclaw RPC handler calls, with an explicit Config so it does not depend on process-global state shared across the merged test binary.

Revert-check results

Test Fix reverted Failure
git_tool_refuses_a_workspace_repo_config_that_names_a_command guard + hardened_git -c layer removed git executed the command named by the workspace's own repository config (\core.fsmonitor`)` — and the tool returned a clean status payload, so the agent is told all is well while attacker-controlled code runs
git_tool_still_runs_under_an_ordinary_repository_config ALLOWED_REPO_CONFIG emptied ordinary repo refused: Not in a git repository
file_tools_cannot_reach_retained_legacy_state_in_the_workspace "tinyplace" removed from WORKSPACE_INTERNAL_DIRS tinyplace: agent read of retained legacy state succeeded: {"legacy":"tinyplace","token":"do-not-read"} — the secret visibly leaks
openclaw_import_names_a_null_classed_driver_rather_than_the_build match keyed back on driver_id() the refusal must name the configured driver and its class; got: … this build has no memory module compiled in …

All four pass with the fixes restored (4 passed; 0 failed).

Why #5825 is not covered

To assert the changed behaviour an e2e needs a bound provider whose as_scoring() is Some. None is reachable from an integration target: the default impl returns None, guard::test_support is pub(crate) (guard/mod.rs:111), every injection seam is pub(crate) (binding.rs:453/566/595), and the module route requires #[ignore] + its own process by the repo's own convention (tool_stats_tests.rs:48) — impossible inside the merged raw_coverage_all binary.

The test that is writable asserts the fail-open fallback ("scoring absent → model walk"), which is exactly the pre-#5825 behaviour and therefore passes with the fix reverted. It would satisfy the string-match gate and prove nothing, so I did not write it. Full analysis and what would unblock it: ~/tinyhuman/bugs/W2-test-findings.md.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy — four tests, each covering a refusal path and its non-refusal counterpart; all revert-checked
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80% — the diff is test code only; changed lines are the tests themselves and all four execute. Ran cargo test -p openhuman --test raw_coverage_all scoped to these four; did not run cargo llvm-cov locally (heaviest lane, and CI does it) — the CI gate is authoritative
  • N/A: Coverage matrix updated — behaviour-only test backfill; no feature row added, removed or renamed
  • N/A: All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed under ## Related — no matrix rows affected
  • No new external network dependencies introduced — all four use temp dirs and local git only; no network, no mock backend needed
  • N/A: Manual smoke checklist updated — no release-cut surface touched; this PR adds no product code
  • N/A: Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN — this is coverage for already-merged PRs, not a fix for an open issue

Impact

  • Test-only. No product code is touched — the diff is two files under tests/raw_coverage/.
  • Security: two of the three now have a regression test where none existed. The git one fails loudly if the guard is bypassed or if the hardened spawn layer is dropped; the denylist one fails if the retained entry is deleted as "dead code from a removed domain", which is the realistic way it goes.
  • No migration or compatibility impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds four end-to-end coverage tests. The tests cover restricted workspace state, OpenClaw migration errors, hostile Git fsmonitor configuration, and ordinary Git status execution. The Git helper now isolates system and global Git configuration.

Changes

Security and tool coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace and migration safeguards
tests/raw_coverage/tools_agent_credentials_state_raw_coverage_e2e.rs
Tests reject access to denylisted legacy directories, prevent token disclosure, preserve file contents, and identify null-classed OpenClaw drivers by id and class.
Git configuration and status execution
tests/raw_coverage/tools_network_channels_raw_coverage_e2e.rs
The Git helper isolates ambient configuration. Tests reject hostile core.fsmonitor hooks and confirm normal repository status execution.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5d7ee

This test-only change adds targeted regression coverage, but the git refusal assertion is narrower than the documented secure behavior and could make CI fail on an equally safe refusal response; confirm the message contract or broaden the assertion before merging.

Rust Core Coverage is red, and it is a real product bug this PR surfaced rather than caused. The failing test is a pre-existing one I did not touch; my four tests all pass in the same run. I have deliberately not weakened it to go green.

What fails

---- tools_network_channels_raw_coverage_e2e::git_operations_cover_read_write_markdown_and_safety_rejections ----
diff: Git command failed: error: cannot run : No such file or directory
fatal: external diff died, stopping at tracked.txt

Why

NEUTRALISED_CONFIG (git_operations_config.rs:128) passes -c diff.external= on every invocation. Git does not read an empty diff.external as "disabled" — it reads it as "run the program named ''". Reproduced with plain git, no OpenHuman involved:

$ git -c diff.external= diff -- tracked.txt
error: cannot run : No such file or directory
fatal: external diff died, stopping at tracked.txt
                                             (git 2.50.1)

Byte-for-byte the CI failure. So {"operation": "diff"} has been broken for every repository at every autonomy tier since #5672 merged — one of the four read operations available even to a read-only agent.

The entry is also redundant: diff.external is not on ALLOWED_REPO_CONFIG, so a repository that sets it is refused before git is spawned. The -c layer is documented as "defence in depth, not the guarantee"; here the depth costs the feature. core.fsmonitor= is genuinely inert when empty and core.pager=cat sets a real value — diff.external is the one key in that list whose empty value is not.

Why it went unnoticed

The only test that drives diff through the tool is the one now failing, in tests/raw_coverage/tools_network_channels_raw_coverage_e2e.rs. The Rust coverage lane is changed-modules-only: it derives a libtest filter from the changed src/ paths, so #5672 (which touched src/openhuman/tools/impl/filesystem/) ran that directory's unit tests and never this e2e file. The file had not been touched since fc06dc3cc. This PR is the first change to it since #5672 — which is exactly why the failure appears here and not there.

That is the same coverage blind spot this PR exists to narrow, demonstrated on itself.

What I have not done

I have not fixed it here. The fix is one line — drop "diff.external=", or neutralise it via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, which hardened_git already clears for command-valued GIT_* vars — but it is product code in a test-backfill PR and deserves its own review. Happy to raise it separately, or fold it in if a maintainer would rather have it together.

Full write-up, including the two other findings from this work: ~/tinyhuman/bugs/W2-test-findings.md.

(Also rebased onto current main since opening: 25ea41efe fixed the "Not in a git repository" misreport I had recorded as a separate finding, so the git test now asserts the refusal names core.fsmonitor rather than tolerating both shapes.)

…orkspace denylist, and the null-classed driver refusal

Three of the four gaps found auditing tinyhumansai#5672, tinyhumansai#5807, tinyhumansai#5825 and tinyhumansai#5847. Each test drives
the surface an agent actually calls, and each was checked by reverting its fix and
confirming the test fails naming its own assertion.

- tinyhumansai#5672 — a repository config naming a command does not get to run it, asserted through
  `GitOperationsTool::execute` rather than the private helper the unit suite uses. The
  assertion is a marker file the planted `core.fsmonitor` hook would create: an error
  alone would not distinguish "refused" from "refused after spawning git". Revert the
  guard and the hook runs *and* the tool returns a clean status payload, so the agent is
  told everything is fine while attacker-controlled code executes.
  A second test pins the other direction — an ordinary `git init` + identity still works
  — so a future tightening of `ALLOWED_REPO_CONFIG` that breaks real repositories fails
  here rather than in the field.

- tinyhumansai#5847 — the one behaviour deliberately retained when TinyPlace was deleted. Agent file
  tools cannot read or write `tinyplace/` inside the workspace at full autonomy, and the
  file is byte-identical afterwards, so a refusal that only prints an error would not
  pass. `redirect_links` and `codegraph` are asserted alongside it: all three are
  retained-after-removal entries with the same rationale, and a test naming only
  `tinyplace` would miss a regression that took all three. A control read of an ordinary
  workspace file keeps the test from passing because everything is blocked.

- tinyhumansai#5807 — importing into a driver deliberately given `class = "null"` names that driver
  and its class, and does not blame a build with no memory module. Driven through
  `migration_helpers::rpc::migrate_openclaw`, the function the `config.openclaw` RPC
  handler calls, with an explicit `Config` so the assertion does not depend on
  process-global state shared with the rest of the merged test binary.

tinyhumansai#5825 is deliberately not covered, and the reason is recorded rather than papered over:
no provider reachable from an integration target exposes `as_scoring()`, so the only
test that could be written there asserts the fail-open fallback — which is the
pre-change behaviour and therefore passes with the fix reverted. A vacuous test that
satisfies the string-match gate would be worse than the gap.

One bug found while writing these: tinyhumansai#5672's refusal message never reaches the agent. Every
operation is preceded by a `rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` probe that runs through the
same guarded function, so a refused probe collapses to "Not in a git repository" for a
directory that plainly is one. The security property is unaffected; the diagnostic is
lost. The test asserts the property that holds and carries a comment saying why it does
not assert the message.
Review follow-ups on the tests this branch adds.

The write-refusal assertion now also checks the refusal does not echo the
protected file back. The read path already rejected the seeded token in its
output; the write path checked only the error flag and the on-disk bytes, so a
refusal that quoted the existing file would have satisfied both and still
leaked it.

The null-classed-driver assertion now requires the quoted `"null"` class rather
than a bare `null` substring — the driver id in the fixture is `mynull`, which
contains `null`, so the looser check would have been satisfied by the id alone
and proved nothing about the class the refusal names.

The product fix this commit originally carried — dropping `diff.external=` from
NEUTRALISED_CONFIG — is gone: `30ba798fe` fixed the same bug on main and did it
better, suppressing the external diff with `git diff --no-ext-diff` rather than
relying on the allowlist alone, and `34fe8e90d` extended that to `--no-textconv`.
Main's version is a strict superset, so the rebase keeps main's and drops mine.
