Both unelevated ACL failures told the reader to re-run with `--sandbox forbid`. There is no such option: SandboxPreferenceForbid is an internal engine state with no flag behind it, so acting on it produced an unknown option and left them stuck on the failure they had just been told how to clear. Advice that does not work costs more than none, because finding that out takes the reader's time. Name the real way out instead, the user config key, which is honored from global config only so a cloned repo cannot set it. The elevated-setup remedy beside it was already correct and stays. Reported by jatmn against the same string on #640. It predates this branch, having arrived with the unelevated fallback tier in #427, and the copy on #886 is fixed separately in 1b304e1. Also covers the secret write with the junction regression it was owed: the caller owns the sandbox home, so they can put a reparse point where the secret directory is expected, and the pathname version followed it in an elevated process. The test asserts the refusal names the reparse point and that nothing survives on the far side, since refusing while still creating the file would leave the caller holding it.

Added in
One extra assertion beyond the ask, because the branch turned out to be worth more than its message: the failure must not record the applied-plan marker. That marker is what makes later commands skip the re-apply, so recording it on a failure would turn a single refusal into a sandbox that quietly stops applying its ACLs at all. For the record on the original fix: |

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
The latest recovery-guidance follow-up is valid: the new Windows-only test now
drives the ACL-apply failure, preserves its cause, names the two usable remedies,
and confirms that a failed apply does not write the marker. The findings below
are separate from that fix.
Findings
-
[P2] Rebase this branch onto the current
mainbefore merging
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
The branch forked atf922cb3, while the current PR base iscabfeefc;mainhas since substantially changed the sandbox implementation and tests, including the direct context around this change. The root cause is that the feature was implemented against an obsolete sandbox contract, so the current PR diff cannot establish that the warning remains correct after the upstream work. Rebase ontocabfeefc, resolve the sandbox changes against the current code rather than preserving the old hunk mechanically, and rerun the relevant Windows and cross-platform plan tests before requesting review again. -
[P2] Deliver the DenyRead warning on the command-execution path
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
The new notice is stored only inBackendPlan.Warnings, which is rendered by manualzero sandbox policy/sandbox checkdiagnostics. Normal execution instead builds aCommandPlan; that type has no warning field, and its execution metadata forwards only backend, enforcement level, and downgrade reason. A Windows command that actually receives aDenyReadprofile therefore entersrunWindowsSandboxCommand, selects the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken, and receives no disclosure unless somebody independently runs a diagnostic command.The root cause is two separate planning representations: diagnostics carry warnings, while the execution representation drops them. Define one execution-facing notice/diagnostic contract and carry this condition from the resolved permission profile to the user-facing command path (or reject this unsafe combination). Add an end-to-end test that applies a
DenyReadrequest profile and asserts that the operator sees the disclosure when the affected command is prepared or run. -
[P2] Gate the token-trade warning on actual command wrapping
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
windowsDenyReadWarningschecks only host OS, backend identity/native-isolation, and the profile; it never checksrequest.CommandWrapped. A native Windows backend retains those capability fields for disabled, degraded, or pass-through requests, whileBuildExecutionRequestsetsCommandWrappedfalse and no runner or restricted token executes. The plan then says the sandbox "uses the token shape" and that reads are denied even though this command is direct. This is the earlier CodeRabbit request that the recent author comment says was fixed, butcdac013only added the host-OS gate.The root cause is using static backend capability as a proxy for this request's actual enforcement state. Make the warning predicate consume the resolved execution state—at minimum
request.CommandWrapped, preferably the effective enforcement level—rather than deriving it solely fromBackend. Cover native-wrapped, disabled, degraded, and pass-through requests so a future backend-state change cannot recreate the mismatch. -
[P2] Do not skip the launch-critical token invariant
internal/sandbox/windows_token_windows_test.go:148
The non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDshape needs the World SID to opencmd.exe; removing it makes every Windows command withDenyReadfail before launch. The test callst.Skiprather than failing if that SID disappears, so Windows CI remains green for exactly that incompatible regression, while the real-runner coverage is opt-in behindZERO_SANDBOX_REAL_SMOKE.The root cause is treating any change to this security/availability invariant as an anticipated future #869 fix, even though removing the SID alone is not that fix. Make the test fail until a #869 implementation deliberately changes the token contract, then replace this assertion in the same change with direct launch and read-denial coverage for the new design. This is the other unaddressed CodeRabbit request.

[P2] Rebase this branch onto the current
mainbefore merging
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
The head's only merge ofmainisd065467c, while the currentorigin/mainisd66ad715(#905). Although a synthetic merge happens to be clean today, it is not a substitute for resolving the change against the actual target: it leaves the PR diff and its validation based on an older sandbox contract. This repository treats that as a hard review blocker because recently changed security-sensitive paths can otherwise be carried forward mechanically. Rebase onto the current tip, inspect the resulting sandbox diff for drift, and rerun the relevant Windows plus cross-platform plan/runner checks; request review only on that resolved head. -
[P2] Deliver the DenyRead disclosure on the execution path
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
This appends the notice only toBackendPlan.Warnings, which is produced by manualzero sandbox policy/sandbox checkdiagnostics. The live path is different: a request-permissionfile_system.deny_readis normalized and merged into the engine policy, thenEngine.BuildCommandPlanemits aCommandPlanand the Windows runner selects the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken.CommandPlanand the prepared-command enforcement metadata carry no notices, so the affected command runs with the known loss of write confinement without the operator seeing the new disclosure; the manual diagnostics also do not contain the per-request profile.The root cause is maintaining separate diagnostic and execution planning representations without a shared user-facing diagnostic contract. Define the warning from the resolved execution request/profile, propagate it through the command/prepared-execution result to the caller that renders command status (or reject
DenyReadon this backend), and add an end-to-end regression that approves adeny_readrequest and asserts the affected Windows command exposes the notice. Keep the existing policy diagnostics as an additional view, rather than making them the only delivery mechanism. -
[P2] Make the DenyRead launch invariant fail rather than skip
internal/sandbox/windows_token_windows_test.go:148
Removing the World SID from the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken makes the restricted-SID read check rejectcmd.exeunder normal Windows DACLs, so every command withDenyReadfails before launch. The test callst.Skipfor exactly that regression, leaving Windows CI green; the real-runner coverage is opt-in and does not protect ordinary CI.The root cause is treating a future
#869redesign as though any partial change to this token shape were a valid implementation. Until that redesign lands, this SID is both security- and availability-critical and its absence must fail. Change the skip to a failure now. When#869deliberately changes the token construction, replace this assertion in the same change with tests that prove the new token can launch a normal executable, continues to deny the intended read path, and does not restore the broad write bypass.

@jatmn head is The launch invariant now failsYou are right, and I have spent this week telling other people the same thing, so it would be poor form to argue it here. It is a I also corrected the header comment, which still said the test skips. A doc comment describing the old behaviour is how the next person concludes the skip was deliberate. Checked two things rather than assuming them. The test really does run in ordinary CI, unelevated, and passes today, so this is live coverage and not an opt-in path: And the failure branch can actually fire, which a RebaseDone, and it was worse than you saw. I had merged Worth recording, since you flagged the same thing on #866 as a rollback risk: I checked whether the stale base would actually have reverted #905, by merging into current The disclosure on the execution pathNot done, and I think you have the root cause right: there are two planning representations and only the diagnostic one carries notices. Appending to Of the two remedies you offer I would rather propagate the notice than reject That is the piece I have not built. It is also the third place this week where the fix is a missing contract between two representations rather than a patch, which is starting to look like the actual finding. |

[P2] Deliver the DenyRead disclosure on the command-execution path
internal/sandbox/manager.go:330
Your latest comment correctly identifies that this is not implemented yet: the warning is currently attached only toBackendPlan.Warnings, which is rendered by the diagnosticzero sandbox policyandzero sandbox checkcommands. A real tool execution follows a different representation: request permissions are normalized and merged into the engine policy,Engine.BuildCommandPlanproduces aCommandPlan, andPrepareExecutionexposes only backend, enforcement level, and downgrade reason. NeitherCommandPlannorexecution.PreparedCommandcarries the warning, and the Windows runner receives only the resolvedPermissionProfile; as soon as itsDenyReadlist is non-empty, it selectswriteRestricted=falseand creates the token shape whose World SID no longer confines writes outside the workspace. Consequently, an operator can approvefile_system.deny_readfor an affected command and lose the write jail without ever seeing the warning this PR adds.The root cause is the split between the diagnostics-only
BackendPlanand the command-execution plan: both describe the same resolved sandbox decision, but only the former has a user-facing notices contract. Fix the contract rather than duplicating text at callers: derive the notice from the resolved execution request/profile, carry it throughCommandPlanandexecution.PreparedCommand(or the equivalent command-result metadata), and render it at the normal tool-execution boundary. If that cannot be made reliable for every execution caller, rejectDenyReadon this Windows backend until it can. Add an end-to-end regression that grantsfile_system.deny_read, prepares or executes a Windows command, and proves the operator receives the disclosure; retain the policy/check warning as an additional diagnostic view.
|
Addressed at Where it goes
From there it travels three places:
The CoverageBoth layers, both directions. A plan resolved with DenyRead carries the notice and an ordinary Windows profile carries none; the tool metadata gains the key only when there is something to say. Falsified each half separately:
What this still is notUnchanged from what I said when I opened it: this discloses the trade, it does not close #869. The token shape is still the vulnerable one whenever DenyRead is set. If you would rather refuse DenyRead on this backend outright until the shape is fixed, I am open to that and it is a smaller change than this one, but it takes a feature away from anyone using it today, so I would want kevin's call rather than making it myself. |

Merge readiness
- [P2] Rebase onto current
mainbefore merge
internal/sandbox/manager.go:353
This head is based ond66ad715, while livemainis now1ec7219a(five commits ahead). The three-way merge happens to be clean, but the repository requires every PR to be rebased onto the current target before review/merge so the sandbox changes and required checks are evaluated against the live contract. The root cause is branch-base drift: the PR's checked contract is no longer the contract that would be merged. Please rebase onto the current target, resolve the sandbox changes against that result rather than relying on the clean merge, and rerun the affected checks from the rebased head.

[P1] Surface the DenyRead disclosure in the actual tool result
internal/tools/bash.go:352
sandbox_noticesis written only intoResult.Meta. Normal bash and exec-command results give the modelresult.ModelOutput(), and the TUI renders that same output/display preview; neither renders metadata. The metadata is also excluded from the durable message history. Consequently, a Windows user who configuresdeny_readcan receive the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken—the known loss of write confinement—while both the executing agent and the interactive user see only ordinary command output.The root cause is treating metadata as an operator-visible disclosure channel when the result pipeline deliberately treats it as side-band data. Define one explicit, user/model-visible enforcement-notice channel on the canonical tool result and have the TUI and transcript consume that channel. Preserve metadata if it is useful to integrations, but do not make it the only copy. Add an end-to-end regression that builds a Windows DenyRead command result and asserts the notice reaches both the model-facing result and the interactive display.
-
[P1] Preserve notices through the generic execution adapter
internal/sandbox/runner.go:135
withSandboxExecutionMetadatanow adds the disclosure toCommandPlan.Notes, butEngine.PrepareExecutionconstructsexecution.Enforcementwithout copying those notes. Hooks, plugins, and MCP processes use this adapter, so their captured/typed outcomes omit the disclosure even though tool-specificexec_commandcopies it. That leaves the newEnforcement.Noticescontract true for one execution wrapper and false for the generic wrapper that other execution consumers depend on.The root cause is duplicated, hand-maintained projection from
CommandPlanintoexecution.Enforcement. Move that projection behind one shared conversion helper (or makePrepareExecutionuse the same helper asexec_command) so new enforcement fields cannot be silently omitted by a second adapter. It should defensively copy the notice slice, and regression coverage should exerciseEngine.PrepareExecutionthrough at least one runner-backed hook, plugin, or MCP path. -
[P2] Do not emit the warning when no Windows restricted token is used
internal/sandbox/runner.go:334
The warning predicate checks only host, backend, andDenyRead; it does not checkCommandWrappedor the enforcement level. Disabled sandboxing and re-entrant commands take the direct, unwrapped plan while retaining the Windows backend/profile, so this code falsely claims that reads are denied and the write jail was traded away. In those cases neither condition is true: no restricted token is created and the configured deny-read rule is not enforced.The root cause is deriving an execution-fact notice from configuration and backend capability rather than from the resolved execution state. Centralize the notice decision on the final
SandboxExecutionRequest/CommandPlanstate, requiring the native or unelevated Windows restricted-token wrapper that will actually run. Reuse that decision for both diagnostic and execution outputs, and cover disabled, degraded, and already-sandboxed/re-entrant plans as explicit silent cases alongside the intended native and unelevated cases.

…rovenance as the gates capture_artifact rejects in RejectBeforePermission, which the registry returns straight back before any of the gates that attach provenance. Its valid-but-unavailable calls therefore reached the classifier with no denial category, no permission metadata and no refusal marker, so they were read as ordinary retriable failures: the model got the schema hint telling it to fix arguments that were already valid, and the call could consume the profile failure-streak escalation, for a tool that never executed and that no argument change can enable. PolicyRefusalToolNotEnabled existed for exactly this and I never wired it. The missing-artifact-directory and disabled-driver branches carry it now. The malformed-argument branch deliberately stays an ordinary error. That one IS fixable by trying again differently, which is what the hint is for, so marking every early rejection would trade one wrong answer for another. Both directions are covered. Checked the rest of the class rather than only the reported tool: web_fetch, browser_launch, browser_connect, browser_open, desktop_windows, desktop_snapshot and terminal_session all reject on arguments alone, which is correctly retriable. capture_artifact was the only one refusing on configuration. Also rebased onto current main rather than carrying the two merge commits, per the same requirement raised on #886.
Both unelevated ACL failures told the reader to re-run with `--sandbox forbid`. There is no such option: SandboxPreferenceForbid is an internal engine state with no flag behind it, so acting on it produced an unknown option and left them stuck on the failure they had just been told how to clear.

[P1] Emit the disclosure for the plans that actually create the restricted token
internal/sandbox/runner.go:1240
CommandWrappeddescribes the plan that this request will execute, not an outer-sandbox state:BuildExecutionRequestsets it true for native and unelevated Windows requests, andbuildPlatformCommandPlansubsequently routes those exact requests towindowsRestrictedTokenCommandPlan. The new helper interprets the same true value as “already wrapped” and returns false before addingCommandPlan.Notes. Consequently, every realfile_system.deny_readexecution receives the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken but no disclosure; the new test passes only because its synthetic request leavesCommandWrappedfalse.The root cause is that the predicate was derived from a hand-built fixture rather than the manager → platform-plan state transition. Define the predicate in terms of the resulting execution state (or use the produced plan's
Wrappedstate), and add a regression that constructs the request throughBuildExecutionRequestfor both native and unelevated Windows setups. Keep the direct, degraded, disabled, and no-platform cases silent, but assert that each plan which reaches the restricted-token runner carries the notice. -
[P1] Carry enforcement notices through plugin and hook execution results
internal/plugins/activate.go:724
The new generic adapter correctly places the disclosure inCapturedResult.Outcome.Enforcement.Notices, but its consumers discard that part of the structured outcome. This projection copies only stdout, stderr, exit status, and error intocommandOutput;pluginTool.invoketherefore returns atools.Resultwith neither notices norsandbox_notices.internal/hooks/dispatch.go:110-142performs the equivalent lossy projection. Once the wrapped-plan predicate is corrected, plugin tools and hooks will run under the non-WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken while remaining silent about the write-jail trade.The root cause is treating the generic execution contract as transport-only rather than preserving its security-relevant enforcement metadata through the final presentation boundary. Give the shared captured-output/result projection a way to retain
Outcome.Enforcement.Notices, then have the normal result-finalization path render it. Cover a plugin tool and a hook with an execution runner returning a notice, and assert the eventual user/model-facing result contains it exactly once; that prevents future generic consumers from silently dropping the contract again.
Keeps the typed enforcement notices and the Base* accessors this branch introduced, and carries main's FileDiffs from #999 alongside them in both ToolResult constructions; the ACP translation keeps composing the disclosure through ModelOutput while building main's content slice.
…est it from outside Two problems with the ownership this branch added, both mine. The handle was closed in a defer. This process is a MEMBER of the job it creates, so closing the last handle to it is the kill: the defer fired during runWindowsSandboxCommand's own return and terminated the helper before its exit code could be handed back. Every sandboxed command reported 0 however it really ended, refusals included. Measured three ways in one process: no job exits 42, join and hold exits 42, join and close exits 0. The handle is now held for the process lifetime, which is what the guarantee was built on in the first place: process exit is what releases it. The regression tested it from inside the process that owns it. It called joinWindowsChildKillJob in the test binary and then closed the handle, so it terminated the test binary. `go test` printed "ok" and exited 0 with the assertions never reached, and the 51 tests that had not run yet were silently dropped: 315 of them completed where skipping this one test gave 366. Everything is driven out of process now, through the test binary re-executed as a stand-in for the command helper, parked in the create-to-resume window with a real suspended child on the real production join. On top of that the coverage review asked for: - cancellation and deadline expiry both driven through execution.Runner's captured path over the sandbox Engine, the wiring hooks and plugins use, with the call required to return bounded AND the child required to be gone - the control without the job, which reproduces the orphan and the blocked caller, so the two above cannot pass for an unrelated reason - the exit code of the production runner, and that it takes ownership before it refuses a command - cleanup that owns the child independently of every assertion Reported by @jatmn.
The previous version used an unsupported sandbox level, which is refused in the level switch, so moving the join down to just above that switch still counted one call and the test passed. A DenyRead profile on a restricted-token tier is refused before the switch, so a join below any check now reads as not having happened.

@jatmn fixed on The ownership. The helper joins a job with What I got wrong, first: the handle was closed on the way out. This process is a member of the job it creates, so closing the last handle to it is the kill. My The handle is held for the process lifetime now. Process exit is what releases it, which is the event the guarantee was built on in the first place. Second: the regression tested it from inside the process that owns it.

I found issues that need to be addressed before this is ready.
Merge readiness
- All required GitHub checks are green on head
c022e6af. Branch merge-base matches livemain(99721c762f37cd43ac511007a5f51d1846df959e). #1006 is merged; DenyRead rejection on restricted-token tiers is already on this branch.
Findings
- [P2] Persist and restore typed enforcement notices for ACP session tool results
Attribution: PR-worsened. This PR split undecoratedOutputfrom typedEnforcementNoticesand fixed live ACP updates intranslate.go, but durable session append still uses the pre-split minimal payload.
Stated contract:internal/acp/enforcement_notice_test.go— "AN ACP CLIENT MUST SEE THE DISCLOSURE THE TUI SEES."ToolResultSessionPayloaddocuments one shared session contract for interactive and headless writers so typed notices and card preview cannot go missing on resume.
Root cause: ACP session persistence never adopted the shared tool-result payload.toolResultEventstill writes onlyresult.Output(now the undecorated base) and omitsenforcementNoticesanddisplayPreview.toolCallFromEventrebuilds a tool result frompayload.Outputalone, so replay/resume drops disclosures that live ACP already shows viaModelOutput().
What fails: An ACP client that loads or replays a session after sandboxed or hooked tool runs sees tool results without enforcement furniture or the same card body semantics the TUI gets fromToolResultSessionPayload, even though the run disclosed correctly on the wire during the live turn.
In this PR (must close together):internal/acp/agent.go—toolResultEventappend payloadinternal/acp/agent.go—toolCallFromEvent/ replay reconstruction forEventToolResult- Regression test in
internal/acp/proving round-trip: persist → reload →toolCallResult/ content carries the notice once (mirrorenforcement_notice_test.gointent for stored events, not only live translate)
Unchanged on main (do not edit in this PR): MCP launch stream, Windows job object, hookDispatchsemantics.
Required correction: Persist tool results throughtui.ToolResultSessionPayload(result)(or the same field set and presence rules) intoolResultEvent, and restoreenforcementNotices,displayPreview, and base output intoolCallFromEventusing the same presence rules asinternal/tui/session.go(displayPreviewkey presence, not emptiness).
Author fix: Close this on both ACP rows in one pass with a test that fails if only livetranslate.gois fixed. Do not patch onlytranslate.goagain.
Out of scope: Optional background MCP stdio disclosure (not shipped today), legacy sessions written before typed notices, or rebuilding the session store schema beyond these fields.
The ACP agent spelled its own tool-result payload and wrote result.Output. After the output/notice split that field is the undecorated text, and the payload had no notices field, so the enforcement disclosure was dropped at the moment of persisting. The live tool_call_update for the same result showed it, and session/load then replayed the sandboxed command as if nothing had constrained it. Fixing the live translation could not reach this: the text was already gone on disk. The payload builder moves from internal/tui to internal/agent, beside ToolResult, because it now has three writers and only one of them is a terminal. The TUI keeps its unexported helpers as thin delegates, exec calls the agent function directly, and ACP persists through the same function. A TUI resume of an ACP-written session therefore gets the typed notices and the undecorated card body like any other. The ACP reader restores the disclosure as what it was, typed notices beside undecorated text, so toolCallResult composes it exactly once. The stored output already has the notices composed in, so tools gains the inverse of WithEnforcementNotices next to it; text that was never decorated passes through unchanged and still gets its notice. displayPreview is deliberately not read there: it is a card body, and the live ACP update sends the model text. The regression runs a real turn through the production OnToolResult callback, loads the session in a fresh agent, and requires the replayed update to equal the live one with the notice exactly once, including for a command that printed nothing.

@jatmn fixed in
On the reader I went a slightly different way from the letter of your note, so flagging it. The regression runs a real turn, so the result reaches the store through the production
CI 12 of 12. acp, tools and cli pass natively on Windows, along with the package the builder moved into, and tui apart from the transcript-scroll test that fails on main on this machine. Still owed from me on this PR: the elevated native smoke. I have not been able to run it on this box. |
…disclosure stream through its Once A beforeTool hook that vetoed while carrying an enforcement notice put the notice on two channels: Dispatch appended it to DispatchOutcome.Notices and blockReason folded it into Reason as well. The one consumer made up for it by dropping every notice whose text appeared in the reason, which also dropped an earlier hook's disclosure whenever the blocking hook's output quoted it. Reason now carries the hook's words only, and the veto result takes every notice from the typed slice, the same owner hookMessage already defers to. Runtime.Close read the disclosure stream field directly. That raced a first StartupDisclosureStream call, and a Close that came before any call closed nothing, so a later caller got a fresh, open stream subscribed to launches from a runtime that was already gone. Close now publishes through the same Once, as an empty stream when nobody had asked for one, and closes it. Tests: the launch-state and veto tests assert the typed slice and that the reason carries no copy; the veto result is checked for the blocker's own notice and for an earlier notice the reason quotes; a command that launched and failed keeps its disclosure; the never-launched MCP check reads the carried notices instead of the error text, which never included them.
An open, empty stream blocks Wait forever, which is the defect these tests pin, so against the old Close they hung until the test binary timed out instead of failing. Wait now runs behind a bound that reports the stream open and closes it so the waiting goroutine returns.

The write-jail invariant test is the model for what AGENTS.md asks for: reading TokenRestrictedSids directly on every run, asserting no World SID and no universal groups on either token shape, requiring the capability SID so an empty list cannot pass, and mutation-verified. The DenyRead trade surfaced through the plan (keyed to the field the runner reads) and the kill-on-close job object fixing the orphaned-helper problem are both correct. Two process asks: the description still claims a one-file production diff while the actual change spans ten packages with an enforcement-notice system through agent, hooks, mcp, cli, tui, and plugins, so please re-scope or split; and ensureWindowsUnelevatedSetup is three-way conflicted with #808 and #901.

Partial work on #869. It does not close it, and I would rather say that up front than have the checkbox suggest otherwise.
The regression risk
#865 removed the World SID from the
WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken. That is the whole write jail: every principal carries Everyone, so while it was a restricting SID the write half of the access check passed for free on any Everyone-writable path, and confinement fell back to the user's own permissions.That fix has no CI protection. The only test covering it,
TestWindowsRestrictedTokenDeniesWritesToEveryoneWritablePaths, sits behindZERO_SANDBOX_REAL_SMOKE=1, andrg ZERO_SANDBOX_REAL_SMOKE .github/comes back empty. So anything that restored the unconditional World SID would go green. This is not hypothetical: #640's branch predates #865 and conflicts on that exact hunk.CreateRestrictedTokenworks unelevated against the caller's own token, so there was never a reason this needed the real-runner harness. Four unit tests now read the token's restricted-SID list directly:WRITE_RESTRICTEDtoken must not carry the World SIDUsers,Authenticated Users,INTERACTIVE,BATCH,Administrators,SYSTEM,SERVICE,NETWORK, or the user's own SID. Windows write jail is still bypassable on profiles that set denyRead #869 names these as the ones that would reopen the same class of bypass, and the runner's comment already states the ruleWRITE_RESTRICTEDshape still carries the World SIDThe last one documents the open gap instead of asserting the end state. It skips with a note if that stops being true, so whoever closes #869 gets told to replace it rather than finding a mystery failure.
Mutation-verified: flipping the guard back to unconditional produces
and the production file is byte-identical to
mainafterwards.The invisible trade
Setting
denyReadselects the token shape withoutWRITE_RESTRICTED, because the restricted-SID check has to cover reads for read-deny to mean anything, and that shape has to keep the World SID or the token cannot opencmd.exe. The trade is deliberate and well documented in the token source. It was just never surfaced: someone who setdenyReadto protect credentials had no way to learn they had given up write confinement to get it.The plan now carries a warning saying exactly that. Keyed off the same field the runner reads (
PermissionProfile.FileSystem.DenyRead, notpolicy.DenyRead) so the two cannot drift, and scoped to the Windows restricted-token backend with native isolation actually active. Zero never populatesdenyReadon Windows itself, so the default posture stays silent and this only reaches users who configured it.What is still open
Closing #869 needs a read-side grant that is not a universal group: AppContainer or LPAC with a capability SID, or the per-workspace principals from #808. That is a different piece of work and I have not attempted it here. #662 still must not land before it, since it would move every Windows user onto the unfixed shape.
I deliberately did not touch whether
denyReadshould be rejected outright on this tier. That is #640's call to make.Verification
