Routine `kubectl delete pod`, `terraform plan` and a single-key `aws s3 rm` stay allowed.
+- Held-out-1024 after the fixes: secret gate 21/30 to 30/30 (2/30 decoys flagged, unchanged), guard 26/40 to 40/40 (3/40 benign, unchanged); the first corpus stays 30/31 and 46/46 with FP 1/34 and 0/45. The held-out corpus is now in-sample; a fresh held-out-2 corpus is the real test. Tests: `scripts/test_security_gates_heldout_fixes.py`.

Perun still trails gitleaks on secrets out of sample. the privacy gate skips the frozen `security-gates-*/secret-leaks.txt` and `secret-decoys.txt` corpora (fictional values, immutable once landed); `score.py` accepts `id<TAB>cmd` rows and hashes from `SHA256-frozen.txt` (last line per path); `bench_check.py` resolves a bare frozen filename from the bench dir first.

 # Held-out security gates, 2026-10-24
 
-**BLUF.** On corpora written blind, Perun's secret gate found 21 of 30 synthetic leaks (2 of 30 decoys flagged) and its destructive guard blocked 26 of 40 dangerous commands (3 of 40 benign blocked).

+**BLUF.** On corpora written blind, Perun's secret gate found 21 of 30 synthetic leaks (2 of 30 decoys flagged) and its destructive guard blocked 26 of 40 dangerous commands (3 of 40 benign blocked); after rules written against those misses, 30 of 30 leaks (2 of 30 decoys) and 40 of 40 blocked (3 of 40 benign), now in-sample.

 **Method.** The four corpora below were authored before reading `.banlist.txt`, `destructive_guard.py`, the first corpus or the rival ports; only the `@@` marker convention was taken from `score.py`. Their preregistration hashes were committed locally before scoring (commit ad168d8c6, squashed into this commit); `SHA256-frozen.txt` pins them. The timestamp cannot be checked from public history; `score.py` and `rivals/score_rivals.py` then ran unchanged apart from a `--corpus-dir` argument. No rule was changed after seeing results. All values are invented; secret lines carry `@@` markers so they never trip the privacy gate.

+# Held-out security corpus 2 (2026-10-24)
+
+Second blind held-out corpus for the security gates, written blind on 2026-10-24 before any rule wave scored it. Four tab-separated files (`id<TAB>text`): `secret-leaks.txt` (40 live-format secrets), `secret-decoys.txt` (40 hashes, UUIDs, blobs, placeholders and public examples), `destructive-dangerous.txt` (50 host, data and infra destroying commands including obfuscated forms) and `destructive-benign.txt` (50 routine lookalikes). Every live-format secret carries an `@@` marker inside its prefix or body so push protection and the privacy gate never fire; strip it with `replace("@@", "")` before scoring. All values are fictional (acme-demo, example.com). Do not edit rows after this commit; `SHA256-frozen.txt` pins the files, so any change means a new corpus.

+# Held-out 2 results, 2026-10-24
+
+**BLUF.** On a second blind corpus that Perun's rules never saw, the secret gate found 23 of 40 leaks (2 of 40 decoys flagged) and the destructive guard blocked 37 of 50 dangerous commands (4 of 50 benign blocked). Ported gitleaks found 26 of 40 leaks (0 FP). Ported claude-code-safety-net blocked 18 of 50 (2 FP) and ported hooks-mastery 9 of 50 (5 FP). Out of sample, Perun still trails gitleaks on secrets and leads on destructive blocking. The in-sample numbers for the first corpus (30/31, 46/46) and for held-out-1024 after its fixes (30/30, 40/40) overstate what an unseen corpus gives.
+
+**Method.** The corpora were committed (8abdefc93) before any rule wave scored them; `SHA256-frozen.txt` pins them and `ledger.jsonl` records the preregistration. Perun's rules were frozen at the gatefix2 commit; nothing was tuned after seeing these rows. The corpus freeze (8abdefc93) predates the rule change that closed the held-out-1024 misses, so the published numbers are the frozen-rule scores. Later hardening of the guard (a bounded base64-exec pattern, `kubectl delete` option-value skipping, no nested-substitution fan-out) leaves them unchanged: re-scored 23/40 leaks (2/40 decoys flagged) and 37/50 blocked (4/50 benign blocked). Run: `python3 docs/bench/security-gates-1024/score.py --corpus-dir docs/bench/security-gates-heldout2-1024` and `python3 -I docs/bench/security-gates-1024/rivals/score_rivals.py --corpus-dir docs/bench/security-gates-heldout2-1024`. Pins: `scripts/test_security_gates_heldout2.py`.
+
+| System | Secret leaks found (40) | Decoys flagged (40) | Dangerous blocked (50) | Benign blocked (50) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Perun | 23 | 2 | 37 | 4 |
+| gitleaks v8.30.1 (ported) | 26 | 0 | n/a | n/a |
+| hooks-mastery (ported) | n/a | n/a | 9 | 5 |
+| claude-code-safety-net (ported subset, 1 row unported) | n/a | n/a | 18 | 2 |
+
+**Caveats.** Same-model-family author as Perun's rule writers, so shared blind spots can flatter Perun; rival systems are Python ports, not their binaries (ported-rule fidelity is the main threat); n is small, so a few rows are noise. Some fixtures may be off the provider's real format, which would penalize strict format rules; this was not audited row by row. Decoy flags: the public AWS documentation key (arguably a correct flag) and a 32-character `x` placeholder under `api_key`. Benign flags: `rm -rf /tmp/acme-demo-cache`, `find . -name '*.pyc' -delete`, `mkfs.ext4 ./test.img` and `git push --dry-run --force origin main`, all scoped or dry-run forms a strict guard may reasonably refuse.
+
+## Leads (misses, not fixed here)
+
+Known gaps, not in this corpus and not fixed: `redis-cli` fed `FLUSHALL` on stdin, and `aws s3 sync --delete`.

+- Secret gate missed 17: AWS secret key, GitHub and npm tokens, a CircleCI PAT, a Telegram bot token, Stripe webhook secret, PayPal, Square, Replicate, Groq, credentialed Postgres, MongoDB, Redis and JDBC URLs, a New Relic key and a Sentry DSN. Gitleaks missed 14 (it catches 10 of Perun's 17 misses; Perun catches 7 of its 14; 7 are missed by both).
+- Destructive guard missed 13: `eval` of an echoed command, `> /etc/passwd`, `git filter-branch --force`, bare SQL statements (`DROP DATABASE`, `DROP TABLE`, `TRUNCATE`, `DELETE FROM` typed without a client), `gcloud sql instances delete`, `kubectl delete pods --all --all-namespaces`, `kubectl delete pv --all`, `helm uninstall`, `terragrunt run-all destroy` and a printf-built `rm -rf /`.

 Perun's older lead on secrets was the PII patterns only; on tokens and keys it tied gitleaks (older corpus); on the new corpus the ported gitleaks rules catch 22 of 31 against Perun's 30, a gap driven mostly by our fixtures not following the providers' exact formats. Use gitleaks as a required gate and Perun's banlist for the repo-specific names. Perun is the only one with a main, subagent and lane split plus a budget gate; ccusage prices everything and has live monitoring.

 On the frozen 2026-10-24 corpus (`docs/bench/security-gates-1024/score.py`, 46 dangerous including interpreter, IFS, brace, quote-split, variable-command and `ssh` wrapper tricks, 45 benign) the guard blocked 29 of 46 before the rule additions and 46 of 46 after, with 0 of 45 false positives; that is in-sample and written by us. Rival rules were ported to Python and scored on it (`rivals/score_rivals.py`; rules ported to Python, not the rival binary; ported-rule fidelity is the main threat). hooks-mastery (exact port of its `rm` and `.env` regexes at a pinned commit) blocked 13 of 46 with 5 of 45 benign blocked (`rm -rf ./node_modules/.cache`, `rm -rf /tmp/claude-1/scratch` and three commands that only mention `rm -rf` in text). claude-code-safety-net is a shell-AST analyzer, so only a documented subset was ported and scored three-state: 27 of 46 blocked, 15 allowed, 4 unported (variable, brace and IFS command words, which its strict mode covers); read 27 as a ported-subset result, not the tool's score, with 0 of 45 benign blocked. Unported families: heredocs, PowerShell and cmd, awk, parallel, policy files, strict and paranoid modes, worktree and temp-root relaxations, shell variable assignment tracking, filesystem-dependent path resolution, the raw-text fallback, the interpreter exec-sink check, `git rm`, `git rebase --abort`, `git reflog delete`, disk-erase tools and nested `$(...)` analysis; details in `rivals/SOURCES.md`. hooks-mastery implements only `rm -rf` and `.env` checks by design, so its 13 of 46 says nothing about its quality outside those two. The guard is a best-effort string check, not a security boundary. Three adversarial reviews found residual bypasses (interpreter APIs such as `subprocess` and `exec`, IFS and brace-expansion tricks, exotic wrappers), rated medium. The OS sandbox is the boundary; keep it on. A 32-string corpus is small, so the lead over the rivals is indicative.

All 14 Perun misses are cloud, orchestration, NoSQL, disk-tool or base64-`eval` rows the first corpus did not exercise; the author shares a model family with Perun's rule writers, so shared blind spots are possible, and ports are not the rival binaries.
