Extend phone/JID alias matching to whatsapp_cloud and treat a removed
allowlist env key as empty so sole-entry revoke cannot revive a stale
adapter snapshot.
Track which source seeded the DM allowlist so live intake does not let a
stale env carrier override explicit config, while env-seeded adapters still
reread pairing mutations.
Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Consolidates the pairing/allowlist authorization model. Reverses the
read-side AND-ing from #56346 (which made a paired user require ALSO
being in the allowlist) and restores pairing as a first-class grant:
- authz_mixin: a pairing-store entry authorizes regardless of the
allowlist (union). approve_code is reachable only by the trusted
operator (CLI / authenticated dashboard), never by an inbound sender,
so it is not an attacker-controlled path — the #23778 bypass was the
inbound message/approval-button gate, fixed separately.
- pairing: when an allowlist IS already configured for the platform,
operator approval also appends the user to that allowlist env var
(option i) and revoke removes them, keeping a single operator-visible,
editable source of truth instead of an opaque approved.json. On an
open gateway (no allowlist) approval is a no-op on the env var so we
never silently lock an open gateway; the pairing store remains the
grant record, honored by the union.
- auto-resume authz (0de67ad60) now honors paired users automatically
via the same union — a legitimately-paired session survives restart.
Replaces the now-incorrect AND-ing tests with union + mirror + revoke
coverage. E2E verified: locked-gateway approve/revoke round-trips
through the allowlist; open-gateway approval stays open.
A user who tapped Always on an approval button gets a pairing-store entry.
_is_user_authorized() checked the pairing store BEFORE the allowlist and
returned True unconditionally, so a paired-but-not-allowed user permanently
bypassed TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS (or equivalent) even after being removed from
the allowlist (#23778).
Record pairing membership but only honor it in the no-allowlist branch. When
an allowlist IS configured, the paired user must appear in the canonical
allowed_ids set (the same set that resolves WhatsApp aliases, SimpleX names,
group allowlists, and the '*' wildcard), so pairing grants no extra access.
Cherry-picked/rebased from #47736 (#23805) by ygd58; membership check rewritten
to reuse the existing allowlist logic. Adds regression tests.
