From 94deeb35ef1d07080c91071bd039514cb7326ab9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shashank Shekhar Singh Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 01:07:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] A listener finds, fixers fan out per issue, and the eager fix is refused first MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit grapharc.registries.fix_issues ships the listener/fixer job under the full RegistryBundle contract: scan_issues appends one issue per entry, the planner proposes one fix_one instance per outstanding issue — all edged from the same predecessor, so they land in one superstep — and every widening re-enters the admission gate. fix_one is registered and denied by default; the scripted rehearsal runs against that default on purpose, so the free path demonstrates the refusal and ends with a report that says what was refused and how to enable it. With no model, nothing is registered: naming a kind then fails as unregistered_node at the gate, not at materialisation. Gate tests pin the refusals: the eager fixer never executes, a three-fixer round beyond the token budget is rejected with the shortfall recorded, and two fixers finishing together merge through the reducers instead of colliding. Phase 1 of the agents-as-nodes plan (PR A1). Args-carrying assignments, write leases, and the delegated tier ladder follow.

The Materializer forwards the *validated* dump and re-validates on build, so a registry swapped underneath the decision or a proposal edited after it refuses to build; the fingerprint already hashed args, so an approval binds who was assigned what. Kinds without a schema keep the old contract, stated where it was always stated: args uninspected, dropped unless forward_args=True. The slim parse path gains args and note — a schema-declaring kind proposed by a small model otherwise always arrived argless and was always refused — with null and prose args tolerated down to {}, because the gate, not the reader, is what judges whether none was enough. fix_one now requires its FixAssignment: each fixer proposal says which issue it takes, verbatim, and the text feeds the fixer's prompt, never a tool call. The governance cookbook, deep dive, README limit, and both architecture diagrams move in the same commit, so no page says five checks over a gate that runs six.

An agent reads its tool refusals, so the losing fixer learns who has the file and works on something else instead of crashing the batch. Reads are never gated: serializing the listeners is the parallelism the lease exists to keep safe. Leases key on the resolved path, so a dressed-up spelling contends with the plain one; a workspace escape stays the tool's own refusal, which names the actual problem. A lease lives exactly as long as its node's execution — the fix_issues factory releases in a finally — so a later round edits what an earlier round wrote. Scope stated plainly in the module: advisory within one process, core write tools only; run_command children and delegated agents mutate un-leased.

It is now a ladder with the fail-closed rung as the default: `allowlist` hands Claude Code exactly the node's own registered tools, mapped name for name (read_file->Read, ... run_command->Bash), so one operator declaration governs both the governed loop and the delegated one; anything unlisted falls to Claude Code's headless default gating, which fails closed. `bypass` still exists and still means everything — but only by name, and the construction warning and every trace event say which tier ran. Two neighbouring defects fixed in the same change, both of the limit-that-exists-only-in-the-invocation kind: --max-tokens under --executor claude-cli was accepted and silently unapplied, and is now refused with the reason; and the subprocess deadline killed only the direct child, so Claude Code's own spawned shells survived as orphans — the CLI now runs in its own session and the deadline kills the whole group, the same way the sandbox executor does.

A backend that reports no price still falls back to a `RateCard` estimate, and the two figures stay apart — `recorded_cost_usd` is never a guess. Still missing: no tenant on a trace event, so per-tenant attribution is not offered. - **A node's tokens are its own, not the run's movement while it ran.** Worth stating because it was the other way round: an `end` event carried the difference between two readings of the run's *shared* meter, so under fan-out the workers' windows overlapped and each was credited with its siblings' concurrent spend. Three workers costing 8 tokens each traced as 24/16/8, and `metrics` and `cost` agreed on 48 for 24 tokens of real work — doubling the estimated bill purely because the work ran in parallel. Attribution now comes from a per-node scope on the meter, so the same work costs the same serially and in parallel; a hand charge the usage callback never saw still lands on the node that made it. - **A planning round is an envelope, not a measurement.** A `round` event used to carry the planner's `tokens` and the round's `duration_ms`, both of which `metrics`, `cost` and `replay` add on top of node totals — and the planner's spend was already reported by its own `plan` event, so it was counted twice, and a round's duration encloses the plan plus every node it ran.

Rather than refuse, `AgentNode` hands the whole loop to Claude Code's headless agent, in one of two named tiers. `allowlist`, the default, pre-approves exactly the Claude Code twins of the node's own registered tools (`read_file`→`Read`, … `run_command`→`Bash`), so one operator declaration governs both the governed loop and the delegated one — but the enforcement is Claude Code's own gating, not this graph's per-call policy, there are no per-tool trace events, and anything unlisted falls to headless default gating, which fails closed. `bypass`, explicit opt-in only, runs `bypassPermissions`: every tool Claude Code has, no checks at all.

If you relied on that, move the file into the directory you run from, `export` the variable, or pass `env_file=` to name it explicitly.

A kind without one keeps the old contract: `args={"path": "/etc/passwd"}` is admitted on the strength of the kind alone, and dropped unless `forward_args=True`. Either way the schema bounds the argument's shape, not what a factory lets it reach — the shipped registries feed an admitted argument to a prompt, never to a tool call. - **The audit-hook sandbox is in-process confinement, not a kernel boundary.** `os.stat` outside the workspace is not blocked, because CPython raises no event for it. `ContainerExecutor` is the boundary where one is needed. - **`run_command` is not confined.** Argv-only and never a shell, but the child is an ordinary process with your privileges.
