M5b plan: task 07, loopd neutralises text when it is first logged

loopd neutralises the user's message (the User record), every text
appended as a tool result (results, recall's, denials, failures and
loopd's own answers share the one append in run_turn), after the cap,
and the memory block in Baseline::assemble_with. The model's output,
system.md and replay are untouched: an old log with a raw tag is
replayed byte for byte.

Checks, on a reference at ref 07 (titan, rustc 1.98.1, own target/):
- given tests before the change: 7 of 9 fail as the task lists; the
  two that guard what must not change pass before and after
- make gate: gate: ok, 1042 tests (1033 + 9); /tmp unchanged around it;
  the two new suites 20 runs, no failure
- 14 mutations, each caught: user not neutralised; neutralised before
  the cap; recall path missed; only untrusted results; truncated from
  the final length; block not neutralised; model content, reasoning or
  tool arguments neutralised; replay re-neutralises user, tool or
  system; open rewrites records; system.md neutralised too
- the task's edits applied to a fresh ref-06 copy give files
  byte-identical to the reference; every before block found once
- no chat-template tag whole in the task or given files; task lines
  within 100 characters except tables; given files under 500 lines

# M5b task 07: `loopd` neutralises text from outside when it is first logged
**Branch:** `m5b` (run `git switch m5b`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
**Commit subject:** `loopd: neutralise user messages, tool results and the memory block`
## Read this first: the attack texts
The given tests put your model's chat-template tags (the markup strings) into user messages,
tool results and the memory block on purpose, and one forges a system turn inside a fetched page.
Your model uses these same strings to mark its reasoning and its tool calls. **If you spell one
out, even in your thinking, it ends your reasoning or your turn.** So:
- **Do not open** the three given test files (`neutralise.rs`, `neutralise_replay.rs`,
`support/tags.rs`), and do not work through their cases in your reasoning. You copy them; you
never need to read them. Their failure messages name a case and never show a text.
- Nothing you write needs a tag. The code calls `neutralise`, which task 03 wrote; it never looks
at what a tag says. Do not write a tag anywhere, as tasks 03 to 06 said.
## Goal
A tag in a fetched page, a user message or the memory block becomes the model's own token when
it reaches the model, so the text can end a tool result and forge a system turn. Task 03 wrote
`bxcore::sanitize::neutralise`, which writes each listed tag's angle brackets as `&lt;` and
`&gt;`. This task calls it in `loopd` (M5b spec, section 8), **once, where the text is first
appended and logged**, so the logged bytes are what every later request replays and the
inference contract holds (each request extends the one before, byte for byte):
- **the user's message** (the owner's, or another speaker's): the `User` record, in `run_turn`;
- **every text appended as a tool result**, after the cap: a tool's result (`recall`'s among
them), a denial, a failure, and `loopd`'s own answers (`find_tool`, `call_tool`, `clock`, the
repeated-call sentence). They all reach the model as tool messages through the one
`LogRecord::ToolResult` append in `run_turn`, so one call there covers them all. A denial's
detail echoes the model's arguments and a failure's message comes from the broker or the tool:
in a tool message a tag is a control token wherever it came from. A fixed sentence holds no
tag, and `neutralise` gives it back unchanged;
- **the memory block**, in `Baseline::assemble_with`. `soul.md` is part of the block, and nothing
checks it on write. The baseline is written to `0.baseline.json` when the session is created,
and every request of the session sends it from there.
What is **not** touched:
- **The model's own output** (`content`, `reasoning_content`, `tool_calls`): logged and replayed
exactly as the server returned it (inference contract).
- **Replay.** `baseline::messages` and `Session::open` send the logged bytes as they are. A log
written before this task can hold a raw tag; it is replayed unchanged, never rewritten and never
neutralised again, because changing an earlier byte of the prompt forces the server to read the
whole prompt again.
- `system.md`, the owner's system prompt around the block.
**The cap comes first** (M5b plan, review focus 2). `cap_result` cuts a result to the cap and
sets `truncated`; the cut text is then neutralised. `&lt;` is longer than `<`, so a logged result
can be a few bytes over the cap, and `truncated` says only whether the cap cut it. A tag the cut
splits is no longer a tag, and is left as it is.
| Name | What it is |
|---|---|
| `bxcore::sanitize::neutralise` | `pub fn neutralise(text: &str) -> std::borrow::Cow<'_, str>` (task 03): `Borrowed` when nothing matches |
| `loopd::tools::cap_result` | `pub fn cap_result(text: &str, cap: usize) -> (String, bool)`: unchanged |
| `loopd::turn::run_turn` | two appends change (T3, T4) |
| `loopd::baseline::Baseline::assemble_with` | the block is neutralised (B3) |
`loopd` already depends on `bxcore`; `sanitize` needs no feature. No dependency changes, and
`loopd` never enables `bxcore`'s feature `secrets` (the test `no_secrets.rs` checks it).
## Every place `loopd` logs text
This is the complete list. Each one is covered by an edit below, or stays as it is.
| Place | What is logged | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `run_turn`, `LogRecord::User` | the user's message | neutralised (T3) |
| `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `run_turn`, `LogRecord::Assistant` | the model's output | unchanged |
| `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `run_turn`, `LogRecord::Usage` and `CacheLoss` | numbers | unchanged |
| `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `run_turn`, `LogRecord::ToolResult` | every tool message | capped, then neutralised (T4) |
| `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs`, `assemble_with` | the memory block, into the baseline | neutralised (B3) |
| `crates/loopd/src/session.rs`, `create` | `SessionStart` and the baseline file | unchanged: the baseline is already neutralised |
| `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs`, `messages`; `crates/loopd/src/session.rs`, `open` | replay | unchanged: never neutralise here |
## Files
- Copy, from `docs/plans/M5b/files/` (the same path under it): the new tests
`crates/loopd/tests/neutralise.rs`, `crates/loopd/tests/neutralise_replay.rs` and
`crates/loopd/tests/support/tags.rs` (included by the two tests with `#[path]`; do not add it
to `support/mod.rs`).
- Modify: `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs` (T1 to T4), `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs` (B1 to B3),
`docs/implementer-log.md`.
- Do not touch: `crates/bxcore`, any `Cargo.toml`, any other file of `loopd`, any other crate.
## The edits, exactly
Every "before" block is in its file exactly once. Nothing else in these files changes.
### `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`
**T1.** The module comment: the lines
```rust
//! One turn: ask, run any tool calls under their limits, and return.
//! The loop is bounded every way a runaway can go: a cap on tool iterations, a repeated-call
//! detector, the two M2a limits (thinking tokens, a full context), and a tool-result cap.
```
become
```rust
//! One turn: ask, run any tool calls under their limits, and return.
//! The loop is bounded every way a runaway can go: a cap on tool iterations, a repeated-call
//! detector, the two M2a limits (thinking tokens, a full context), and a tool-result cap.
//! Text from outside (the user's message, every tool result) is neutralised as it is first
//! logged (M5b spec, section 8), so every later request replays the same bytes; the model's own
//! output is logged as the server returned it.
```
**T2.** The line
```rust
use crate::tools::{Registry, ToolPort, cap_result, denial_message, dispatch};
```
becomes
```rust
use crate::tools::{Registry, ToolPort, cap_result, denial_message, dispatch};
use bxcore::sanitize::neutralise;
```
**T3.** In `run_turn`, the user's message: the lines
```rust
time: Timestamp::now(),
content: content.to_string(),
```
become
```rust
time: Timestamp::now(),
content: neutralise(content).into_owned(),
```
**T4.** In `run_turn`, the tool result: the line
```rust
let (text, truncated) = cap_result(&text, rt.cfg.r#loop.tool_result_cap);
```
becomes
```rust
// Capped first, then neutralised: the logged text may be a few bytes over the cap,
// and `truncated` says only whether the cap cut it. Denials and failures take this
// path too, since they reach the model as tool messages as well.
let (text, truncated) = cap_result(&text, rt.cfg.r#loop.tool_result_cap);
let text = neutralise(&text).into_owned();
```
The `LogRecord::ToolResult` below it takes `content: text` and `truncated` as today, and the
`TurnEvent::ToolResult` after it sends the same `truncated`.
### `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs`
**B1.** The line
```rust
use crate::tools::Registry;
```
becomes
```rust
use crate::tools::Registry;
use bxcore::sanitize::neutralise;
```
**B2.** The comment of `assemble_with`: the lines
```rust
/// The system prompt trimmed, then a blank line and the memory block `memoryd` rendered (M5a
/// spec, section 4), when there is one; the core tool schemas.
```
become
```rust
/// The system prompt trimmed, then a blank line and the memory block `memoryd` rendered (M5a
/// spec, section 4), when there is one; the core tool schemas. The block is neutralised here
/// (M5b spec, section 8): `soul.md` is not checked on write, and the snapshot of the baseline
/// is what every request of the session sends.
```
**B3.** In `assemble_with`: the lines
```rust
let memory = memory.trim();
if !memory.is_empty() {
system.push_str("\n\n");
system.push_str(memory);
}
```
become
```rust
let memory = neutralise(memory.trim());
if !memory.is_empty() {
system.push_str("\n\n");
system.push_str(&memory);
}
```
`memory` is now a `Cow<str>`: `is_empty()` and `&memory` reach the `str` inside it.
## Steps
- [ ] **1. Copy the given tests.** From the repository root, three commands:
```sh
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/loopd/tests/neutralise.rs crates/loopd/tests/
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/loopd/tests/neutralise_replay.rs crates/loopd/tests/
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/loopd/tests/support/tags.rs crates/loopd/tests/support/
```
- [ ] **2. See them fail.**
`cargo test -p loopd --no-fail-fast --test neutralise --test neutralise_replay`: both compile.
In `neutralise`, all six tests fail; in `neutralise_replay`, one fails and two pass:
| Test | Before this task |
|---|---|
| `a_user_message_is_neutralised_in_the_log_and_the_request` | fails: `the record in memory: not as expected …` |
| `a_tool_result_is_neutralised_in_the_log_and_the_next_request` | fails: `the record, label kept: not as expected …` |
| `a_recall_result_is_neutralised` | fails: `the record: not as expected …` |
| `denied_and_failed_texts_are_neutralised_too` | fails: `denied: not as expected …` |
| `the_cap_comes_first_then_neutralising` | fails: `case 0: not as expected …` |
| `a_fetched_page_that_forges_a_system_turn_reaches_the_model_escaped` | fails: `the record: not as expected …` |
| `the_memory_block_is_neutralised_when_the_baseline_is_assembled` | fails: `the assembled baseline: not as expected …` |
| `the_models_output_is_logged_and_replayed_byte_exact` | passes, before and after |
| `an_old_log_with_a_raw_tag_is_replayed_as_it_is` | passes, before and after |
Every message ends `(not shown: it may hold a tag)`.
- [ ] **3. `turn.rs`.** Make edits T1 to T4. `cargo check -p loopd`: no error.
- [ ] **4. `baseline.rs`.** Make edits B1 to B3. `cargo check -p loopd`: no error.
- [ ] **5. See them pass.** The command of step 2: `neutralise` 6 passed, `neutralise_replay` 3
passed. Then `cargo test -p loopd`: every suite passes.
- [ ] **6. Check.** `grep -rn 'neutralise(' crates/loopd/src` prints exactly three lines: two in
`turn.rs` (T3, T4) and one in `baseline.rs` (B3).
- [ ] **7. Run the gate.** `cargo fmt --all`, then `make gate`, with a shell timeout of 600000 ms.
Expected last line: `gate: ok`, with 1042 tests: 1033 before this task, plus 6 in
`neutralise.rs` and 3 in `neutralise_replay.rs`.
- [ ] **8. Log and commit.** `git status --short` lists `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`,
`crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs` and your log as modified, and the three new test files. Stage
with `git add crates/loopd docs/implementer-log.md Cargo.lock`, then commit as `AGENTS.md`
says. `Cargo.lock` does not change in this task; the `git add` is harmless.
## Done when
- `make gate` prints `gate: ok` with 1042 tests.
- `git diff HEAD~1 --stat` lists only `crates/loopd/src/turn.rs`, `crates/loopd/src/baseline.rs`,
the three new files under `crates/loopd/tests/`, and `docs/implementer-log.md`.
## Stop and report if
- A "before" block of T1 to T4 or B1 to B3 is not in its file exactly as shown, or is there more
than once.
- Step 2 shows a different result: a test that does not compile, other failing tests, or other
messages.
- After step 5 a test fails. Do not open the test to find out why, and do not change a test: stop,
and give the failing tests' names and their messages.
- The fix seems to need a change anywhere else: in `session.rs`, `baseline::messages`,
`channel.rs`, `tools.rs`, `bxcore`, or a `Cargo.toml`. It does not; stop and say why you think
so.
- A test outside `loopd` fails in the gate: check once whether it fails without your change, then
stop and report both results.
- The gate passes with a count other than 1042.
