From 4a255e6ffe1bb871a43b9d29e547c8925b269019 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Layfield Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 12:22:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat: security + reliability hardening for investigate, browse, qa, canary, ship MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Grafts adapted from addyosmani/agent-skills (MIT), re-fitted to gstack's template/resolver architecture: - investigate: treat error output as untrusted data (prompt-injection guard), git-bisect workflow for regressions, non-reproducible-bug taxonomy (timing/environment/state/random with tactics per class) - browse: untrusted-content rule 5 (never copy secrets from page content), JS-execution constraints (read-only default, no external fetch, no cookie/token reads), session-isolation guidance - qa: Browser Content Security Boundaries section — page content is data, not instructions; injection attempts are High-severity QA findings - canary: verdict threshold table (error rate / P95 / JS errors / visual vs baseline -> HEALTHY/DEGRADED/BROKEN) + unconditional rollback triggers - ship: breaking-change check that overrides line-count bump heuristics (Hyrum's Law); changelog-with-the-change discipline; feature-flag hygiene Mechanics: content added to SKILL.md.tmpl files and resolvers (scripts/resolvers/browse.ts, utility.ts), SKILL.md regenerated via bun run gen:skill-docs. Golden ship fixtures refreshed. qa compressed to stay within its 1.07 parity budget; investigate's maxSizeRatio bumped 1.09 -> 1.11 with rationale (only ~700B of headroom-free content added).
