A draft spec for the owner's review and 13 offline tasks with their given
tests: shared tool arguments and host rules in proto, the sealed fetch
target (M3a finding 14), the toolkit tools and SOCKS5 egress proxy, and
brokerd's [runner], podman argument lists, runtime and proxy lifecycle. Each
task's tests were run against a reference at that task's end state (560 to
638 tests, clippy clean); the reference is not in the repository. Adds the
runner-unavailable runbook entry and tip T23 (ETXTBSY in script tests).

Models from the owner: Ornith for tasks 01 to 18, Ornith then Grok 4.6 for
19, Grok 4.6 for 20 to 22. Future and late dates set to the commit dates;
notes pasted into the wrong rows moved back; every row has eight cells.

Tasks 01 to 22, the review, and task 23 (the review fixes, with a second,
independent review of them). The one conflict, docs/implementer-lessons.md,
had the same T18 and T19 on both sides; m3a's T20 to T22 follow them.

The review table gains findings 16 to 20, which the two review agents
reported and the first write-up dropped. The independent review of the fix
commits, and what was changed for it, is recorded; task 23's claims about
its tests are corrected. The spec and decisions record the day-long cap, the
ttl_ms bound, the socket-directory rule and the listener's retry.

From the independent review of task 23. A torn last line followed by an empty
later file had its recovery written into the later file, which broke the
chain for good; the line is now ended in its own file. The log-name rule
takes months 01 to 12 and days 01 to 31 only. [approvals] ttl_ms is limited
to a day, the longest loopd waits after a pending frame. Running out of file
descriptors or memory pauses the listener instead of stopping brokerd (the
errors the previous fix skipped do not occur on Linux). args.rs's doc fixed.

brokerd makes a socket's directory 0700. With a socket directly in / it would
chmod /, and through a symbolic link it would change the link's target. Both
are now refused at start with #brokerd-start-failed. Without the fix the link
case started and served, with the shared directory made private.

loopd's self-test caught the change (context per slot 131072 -> 262144,
slots 2 -> 4). The device tests keep the expectation in one constant, and
the M3a script matches it; verify-device passes 6 of 6 and the M3a device
check passes. The inference contract notes which M0 findings rest on the old
layout and need re-measuring.

M3a review findings 3, 5 (the cast), 6, 7 (brokerd), 11. A config, directory
or socket failure at start now ends with docs/runbook.md#brokerd-start-failed,
and losing a listener with #brokerd-listener-lost; both entries are new.
Threads start through thread::Builder, so a refused thread is reported
instead of silently killing a listener; an aborted connection no longer stops
the daemon. brokerd reads args_os and keeps the config path as a path. The
"requester went away" result is recorded at the time it happens.

Two medium findings in the audit writer (a startup panic on a record-less
log file, and a log-name filter that disagrees with bxctl's), one in the
missing runbook pointers for startup failures, and twelve low ones. Lessons
I14 and T21, T22; two new AGENTS rules; m3a's T18 renumbered to T20 so
master's T18 and T19 survive the merge.

The handoff and the two stopped rows blamed an environment fsync stall.
The cause was macOS refusing socket options after the peer closes, in
loopd and in the brokerd test client. The handoff now opens with the
resolution, the log gets a review note (the stopped rows are kept as
written), and the lessons gain I13 (measure what you blame, and name
the machine) and T18 (the gate must pass on Talos and on the Mac).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The test client set its read timeout before every frame. On macOS that
fails with EINVAL once the handler has sent its final frame and closed,
so every admin test that reads a second frame failed there (40 runs of
40 at 2408e2c). The frame is already buffered, so the client now takes
that one refusal as the peer having closed and reads it. The plan's copy
changes with it.

Debug collection commit for the brokerd admin-test hang investigation (M3a
task 19). Contains:
- crates/brokerd/src/broker.rs: hold_open helper (HOLD_OPEN = 2s read-timeout
loop) applied after forbid and after the final send in broker::handle
- crates/brokerd/src/admin.rs: hold_open applied after forbid and after the
final send in admin::handle
- crates/brokerd/src/grants.rs: check_tool_constraints refactor (match guard
instead of nested if)
- docs/M3a/DEBUG-HANDOFF.md: investigation results added (310 runs, zero
hangs reproduced; stalled fsync cannot be fixed without dropping durability)
The implementer log row was committed separately (a6d81d9).

Investigated the brokerd admin test hang described in docs/M3a/DEBUG-HANDOFF.md.
The hold_open fix is already implemented and eliminates the EINVAL. 310 runs
of the admin test binary (4-thread, 16-thread, disk-stressed, via cargo test)
produced zero hangs. The ~7-12% fsync stall cannot be reproduced in this
environment. Per AGENTS.md point 4 for stopped tasks, logging the blocker and
committing only the implementer log.

The strict.rs in files/ is the merged one and walks task 02's new wire
fixtures, so task 01's gate could not pass; the first run stopped on it.
Task 01 now copies area A's version, checked to give 3 and 5 passed at
task 01's end state.

Implemented decide and redecide in crates/brokerd/src/policy.rs:
SessionState, Label, Denial, private Matched, and Decision/Ask (private
fields, Debug only, nine getters each) with the Outcome enum. decide
rejects an unknown tool (args not parsed) and malformed arguments before
matching, then runs the M1-M5 matching pass in id order and returns
Allowed/Ask/Denied by the winner's mode; redecide re-runs matching now
and rebuilds the Decision from the Ask. Seven doctests (six compile_fail,
one compiling) guard the two facts. policy 7, policy_matching 10,
policy_redecide 7, policy_property 4, doc 7 all pass; make gate ok.

crates/brokerd/src/grants.rs reads grants/*.toml into a GrantSet: load reports every problem in every file and returns either a complete valid set or the full problem list, never a partial one; from_grants sorts by id and collects every rule-2..9 problem; render prints each problem then the runbook pointer. All 17 grants tests pass; make gate prints gate: ok.
Implemented-By: OpenCode session (model recorded in docs/implementer-log.md)
Implemented brokerd::args: a pure module (no I/O, no clock) that parses tool
arguments into a typed ToolArgs and checks the form of paths, hosts and URLs.
Four private deny_unknown_fields structs drive parse and canonical_json; path,
cwd and url are validated as written and never normalised. All 13 args tests
pass and make gate prints gate: ok.
Implemented-By: OpenCode session (model recorded in docs/implementer-log.md)
Implemented crates/brokerd/src/config.rs: typed Paths, Sockets, Approvals and
Config with serde(deny_unknown_fields, default) on every struct, hand-written
ConfigError (Read/Parse) with Display and std::error::Error, and the parse/load/
broker_socket/admin_socket/audit_dir/state_dir methods. Added serde, serde_json
and toml to crates/brokerd/Cargo.toml, registered pub mod config; in lib.rs,
added brokerd to the serde and serde_json Used-by cells in docs/dependencies.md,
and copied the given test and six fixtures byte-identical. 7 config tests pass;
make gate prints gate: ok.
Implemented-By: OpenCode session (model recorded in docs/implementer-log.md)
Implemented proto::ChainVerifier as a pure line-holding state machine:
each line is judged only once the next has arrived, so a Recovery record
can mark the line before it not-a-record. Adds ChainFailure, TornTail,
ChainReport, Location and ChainVerifier, wired through lib.rs and the
matching re-export in audit.rs. 13 chain tests pass; make gate prints
gate: ok.
Implemented-By: OpenCode session (model recorded in docs/implementer-log.md)
Gate cannot pass: the task's strict.rs walks 28 wire fixtures but 16
(approvals/approve/refuse/ok/grants_report/turn_event_* and friends) do not
exist on the m3a branch and are created by task 02. The audit types were
implemented exactly as specified and records passes; only the unrelated
wire-envelope test blocks the gate. Committed only this log row.
Implemented-By: OpenCode session (model recorded in docs/implementer-log.md)
Task files, the files they copy in (byte-identical to the reference on
m3a-ref), each area's check record, and a README with the per-task
table of what each check exposed. The handoff note is done with.

Every request is recorded, unreadable state is recorded as secret, a
refusal that cannot be recorded is an error, and the other cases the
brokerd reference settled. The audit-unavailable and
broker-state-damaged entries name the new messages; egress lists the
development calls to straylight.

DecisionRecord's empty struct variants, the verifier's report fields and
region rule, the startup fallback, the IPv4 host rule, Denial, BrokerPort
deadlines and envelope id, the runbook anchor rule, bxctl's --say/--json
and escaping. Recorded in docs/decisions.md; the array-form question is
left open.

Areas A to D (audit, policy side, loopd, bxctl) are written on branches
in ~/src/boxmaker-ref-a to -d; area E (broker and approval handoff) is
not started. HANDOFF.md records each area's result, the contract
conflicts between them, the spec defects they found and the remaining
steps in order.

Both came out of planning the tasks. The three locked steps need a home
that is neither the connection handler nor the pending table. The
one-process end-to-end test would have made loopd dev-depend on
brokerd, which the crate-dependency gate forbids.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
From M3a: a full reference for the audit chain and the approval
handoff, the property test's oracle for policy, and compiling
skeletons for everything else. Each plan records what its checks
exposed, and that record decides what the next milestone gets.
Tip T17; the spec's handover section says which check each module has.
Also restores three / examples that an editing tool had decoded
to a plain slash.

Settled: what is being approved is never truncated. Leading option for
Mattermost is a thread of numbered chunks approved on the last post.
