Summary

Addresses pentest finding OFFSEC-310 (LCORE-2750, CVSS 8.5 Important): the model can be manipulated into generating creative content (emails, speeches, roleplay) outside its intended scope as a RHEL technical assistant.

JIRA: RSPEED-3399
Epic: RSPEED-3314 — Add RHEL Topic Guardrails to LSCORE

Approach

Reuses the existing QuestionValidity capability (LLM-based classification) but applied to LLM output rather than input. A new output_shields configuration section in lightspeed-stack.yaml takes the same format as input shields but runs post-inference.

Changes

File Change
src/constants.py DEFAULT_OUTPUT_MODEL_PROMPT and DEFAULT_OUTPUT_REJECTION_MESSAGE — output classification prompt with RHEL-specific examples
src/models/config.py output_shields: list[ShieldConfiguration] field on Configuration class + validator for unique names across both shield lists
src/utils/shields.py run_output_shield_moderation() — iterates output shields, gracefully handles errors (logs warning instead of blocking)
src/app/endpoints/rlsapi_v1.py Output moderation after response text extraction — replaces response with rejection message if blocked
src/app/endpoints/responses.py Non-streaming: blocks. Streaming: log-only (cannot retroactively block already-streamed content)
tests/unit/utils/test_output_shield_moderation.py 7 unit tests

Behavior

  • Non-streaming (/v1/infer, /v1/responses): If the output shield classifies the response as non-technical, the response text is replaced with a rejection message.
  • Streaming (/v1/responses streaming): The check runs at the terminal event. If triggered, a warning is logged (the content has already been streamed to the user).
  • No output shields configured: No-op — returns ShieldModerationPassed() immediately.
  • Shield errors: Logged as warnings but do not block the response (fail-open for output shields, unlike input shields which fail-closed).

Configuration (in lightspeed-stack.yaml)

output_shields:
  - name: output-topic-guard
    provider_id: question_validity
    config:
      model_id: <model>
      model_prompt: <output classification prompt>
      invalid_question_response: "This response was filtered..."

Deployment configuration (lscore-deploy) will follow in a separate MR.

Tests

25 passed (7 new + 18 existing shield tests, no regressions)
ruff: All checks passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable moderation for generated responses.
    • Blocked non-streaming responses are replaced with a moderation message.
    • Streaming responses are checked after completion, with blocked results logged.
    • Added default classification and rejection messaging for out-of-scope responses.
    • Added validation for output-shield configuration and duplicate shield names.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for passing, blocked, empty, and shield-error scenarios.

Addresses pentest finding OFFSEC-310 (LCORE-2750, CVSS 8.5 Important):
the model can be manipulated into generating creative content (emails,
speeches, roleplay) outside its intended scope as a RHEL assistant.

Adds output_shields configuration and run_output_shield_moderation()
that reuses the existing QuestionValidity capability to classify LLM
responses before returning them to the user.

Changes:
- constants.py: DEFAULT_OUTPUT_MODEL_PROMPT and
  DEFAULT_OUTPUT_REJECTION_MESSAGE for output classification
- config.py: output_shields field on Configuration (same format as
  input shields), validator ensures unique names across both lists
- shields.py: run_output_shield_moderation() — iterates output shields,
  gracefully handles errors (logs warning, doesn't block response)
- rlsapi_v1.py: output moderation after response text extraction,
  replaces response with rejection message if blocked
- responses.py: output moderation for non-streaming (blocks) and
  streaming (log-only — cannot retroactively block streamed content)

7 unit tests covering: passed, blocked, first-block short-circuit,
error resilience (AgentRunError, RuntimeError), text passthrough.

Walkthrough

Output shields now moderate inference results in the Responses API and RLSAPI v1. Configuration, shield execution, rejection constants, endpoint integration, and unit tests were added.

Changes

Output shield moderation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shield configuration and classification contracts
src/constants.py, src/models/config.py
Added output classification constants. Added output_shields configuration and validation for explicit output-shield fields and duplicate names across input and output shields.
Output shield execution
src/utils/shields.py, tests/unit/utils/test_output_shield_moderation.py
Added output moderation with pass-through, blocking, short-circuit, error handling, and response-text forwarding tests.
Inference endpoint integration
src/app/endpoints/responses.py, src/app/endpoints/rlsapi_v1.py
Added output moderation to both endpoints. Streaming blocks are logged without changing streamed content. Non-streaming blocked output is replaced before response construction. RLSAPI applies replacement before quota processing and telemetry.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7a144

This PR adds post-inference output filtering, but blocked content can still remain accessible through structured non-streaming responses, and default output shields may use the wrong prompts and rejection text. These concrete security and behavior gaps can weaken the intended filter, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

❌ Failed checks (2 errors)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Performance And Algorithmic Complexity ❌ Error src/utils/shields.py:154-158 serially awaits one external model/API call per output shield, so request latency and cost grow linearly with an unbounded configuration list. Limit output shield cardinality or run independent checks concurrently, with explicit cancellation and first-block handling.
Security And Secret Handling ❌ Error output_shields accepts PII redaction shields (config.py:3323-3329), but responses.py:980-988 checks only at stream completion and logs; sensitive output is already in SSE events. Apply output redaction or block decisions before yielding each streaming event, or reject redaction shields for streaming; do not rely on terminal-only moderation for sensitive data.

- Around line 1126-1134: When output moderation is blocked in the response
handling flow, replace api_response.output with output_moderation.message as
well as updating output_text. Apply this before persistence, telemetry/summary
construction, and response serialization so all public and stored output fields
contain only the moderation refusal.

In `@src/models/config.py`:
- Around line 3345-3346: Update the duplicate-name detection around all_shields
and names to use a single pass with seen and duplicates sets instead of
repeatedly calling names.count(name). Preserve the existing duplicate-name
results and downstream behavior while removing the quadratic scan.
- Around line 3323-3330: Update output_shields to use an output-specific shield
configuration whose question-validity settings default to
DEFAULT_OUTPUT_MODEL_PROMPT and DEFAULT_OUTPUT_REJECTION_MESSAGE, while
preserving explicit per-shield overrides. Use the existing ShieldConfiguration
and QuestionValidityConfig symbols to implement the smallest type or
default-selection change.

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (AGENTS.md)

src/**/*.py: Use absolute imports for internal modules and follow the prescribed FastAPI and Llama Stack import conventions.
All modules must begin with descriptive docstrings; use logger = get_logger(__name__) from log.py for module logging; package __init__.py files must contain brief package descriptions.
Define shared constants in the central constants.py module, add descriptive comments, and annotate constants with Final[type].
Use complete type annotations for function parameters, return types, class attributes, and type aliases; prefer specific types over Any, use modern union syntax, and use typing_extensions.Self for model validators.
All functions and classes require descriptive Google-style docstrings, including appropriate Parameters, Returns, Raises, and Attributes sections.
Use descriptive snake_case, action-oriented function names such as get_, validate_, and check_; use PascalCase class names with standard suffixes such as Configuration, Error/Exception, Resolver, and Interface.
Avoid modifying input parameters in place; return a newly constructed data structure instead.
Use async def for I/O operations and external API calls; API endpoints should raise FastAPI HTTPException with appropriate status codes and handle Llama Stack APIConnectionError.
Use from log import get_logger and standard logger levels: debug for diagnostics, info for general execution, warning for unexpected conditions or potential problems, and error for serious failures.
Configuration models must extend ConfigurationBase, set extra="forbid" to reject unknown fields, use Pydantic validators for custom validation, and use types such as Optional[FilePath], PositiveInt, and SecretStr where appropriate.
Abstract interfaces must use ABC and @abstractmethod decorators.
Never commit secrets or keys; use environment variables for sensitive data.

Learning: In this repo’s Python code under src/**, don’t treat differences in string concatenation style as a style inconsistency when Black has effectively forced (or made clearer) use of explicit `+` string concatenation in multi-line logger/string expressions. If adjacent-literal implicit concatenation is avoided/changed specifically to accommodate Black’s formatting in these call sites, accept the `+` usage and don’t recommend converting it solely for consistency with nearby blocks that use implicit concatenation.

Learning: For any endpoint that handles saved prompts and calls `src/utils/saved_prompts.py::create_saved_prompt`, treat the endpoint as the validation boundary. Before calling `create_saved_prompt`, validate the incoming saved-prompt name and content, specifically using `validate_saved_prompt_name` and then persist (store) the normalized value it returns. Do not call `create_saved_prompt` with unvalidated/raw name/content.

Learning: In the lightspeed-stack codebase, within `src/app/endpoints/` inference/MCP endpoints, treat `tools: Optional[list[Any]]` in MCP tool definitions as an intentional, consistent typing pattern (used across `query`, `responses`, `streaming_query`, `rlsapi_v1`). Do not raise or suggest this as a typing issue during code review; changing it in isolation could break endpoint typing consistency across the codebase.

Learning: In lightspeed-core/lightspeed-stack, for Python files under src/models, when a user claims a fix is done but the issue persists, verify the current code state before accepting the fix. Steps: review the diff, fetch the latest changes, run relevant tests, reproduce the issue, search the codebase for lingering references to the original problem, confirm the fix is applied and not undone by subsequent commits, and validate with local checks to ensure the issue is resolved.

Timestamp: 2026-02-25T07:46:33.545Z
Learning: In the Python codebase, requests.py should use OpenAIResponseInputTool as Tool while responses.py uses OpenAIResponseTool as Tool. This difference is intentional due to differing schemas for input vs output tools in llama-stack-api. Apply this distinction consistently to other models under src/models (e.g., ensure request-related tools use the InputTool variant and response-related tools use the ResponseTool variant). If adding new tools, choose the corresponding InputTool or Tool class based on whether the tool represents input or output, and document the rationale in code comments.

Adam Lanicek added 4 commits August 19, 2026 20:29
- Replace api_response.output with refusal_response when output
  shield blocks, preventing blocked content from leaking via the
  structured response.output field (security fix)
- Replace O(n^2) duplicate-name scan with single-pass set lookup
  in validate_shield_names_unique (performance)

Not addressed (intentionally):
- Output-specific defaults for QuestionValidityConfig: the prompt
  is always explicitly configured in lightspeed-stack.yaml, so the
  default is never used. Adding a separate config type would be
  unnecessary boilerplate.
Add validate_output_shield_prompts_explicit validator that rejects
QuestionValidityConfig output shields relying on DEFAULT_MODEL_PROMPT
or DEFAULT_INVALID_QUESTION_RESPONSE. These input-side defaults are
inappropriate for output classification.

Addresses CodeRabbit follow-up: a valid output_shields entry could
omit model_prompt and silently use the input-side classification
prompt, classifying responses with questions-oriented logic.

3 new tests verify detection of default values.
- Merge upstream/main (includes RSPEED-3398 input sanitization)
- Resolve conflict in constants.py: keep both OBFUSCATION_REJECTION_MESSAGE
  (from RSPEED-3398) and output classification constants (RSPEED-3399)
- Apply black formatting to shields.py, rlsapi_v1.py, and test file

All 28 tests pass, ruff and black clean.
Replace field-level default assertions with Configuration-level
validation tests per CodeRabbit feedback. Tests now construct a
full Configuration with output_shields and verify that:
- Default model_prompt raises ValueError
- Default invalid_question_response raises ValueError
- Explicit values pass validation

This ensures the validate_output_shield_prompts_explicit validator
is actually exercised.

test_default_rejection_detected, and test_explicit_fields_differ_from_defaults

Assert that configurations using either default prompt or default rejection
raise ValueError, while a configuration with both explicit values loads
successfully; retain the existing field-default assertions only if still useful.

src/**/*.py

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (AGENTS.md)

src/**/*.py: Use absolute imports for internal modules and follow the prescribed FastAPI and Llama Stack import conventions.
All modules must begin with descriptive docstrings; use logger = get_logger(__name__) from log.py for module logging; package __init__.py files must contain brief package descriptions.
Define shared constants in the central constants.py module, add descriptive comments, and annotate constants with Final[type].
Use complete type annotations for function parameters, return types, class attributes, and type aliases; prefer specific types over Any, use modern union syntax, and use typing_extensions.Self for model validators.
All functions and classes require descriptive Google-style docstrings, including appropriate Parameters, Returns, Raises, and Attributes sections.
Use descriptive snake_case, action-oriented function names such as get_, validate_, and check_; use PascalCase class names with standard suffixes such as Configuration, Error/Exception, Resolver, and Interface.
Avoid modifying input parameters in place; return a newly constructed data structure instead.
Use async def for I/O operations and external API calls; API endpoints should raise FastAPI HTTPException with appropriate status codes and handle Llama Stack APIConnectionError.
Use from log import get_logger and standard logger levels: debug for diagnostics, info for general execution, warning for unexpected conditions or potential problems, and error for serious failures.
Configuration models must extend ConfigurationBase, set extra="forbid" to reject unknown fields, use Pydantic validators for custom validation, and use types such as Optional[FilePath], PositiveInt, and SecretStr where appropriate.
Abstract interfaces must use ABC and @abstractmethod decorators.
Never commit secrets or keys; use environment variables for sensitive data.
