Summary

Adds a trusted host-derived skill scan check to the TinySecurity policy contract. The host supplies the scan verdict and SHA-256 digest of the exact skill bundle it will expose to execution.

  • Pass continues to normal policy checks.
  • Warn requires fresh human approval and cannot be bypassed by auto-approve settings, whole-tool grants, or judge approval.
  • Block is a hard denial and cannot be converted into a pending approval.
  • The verdict and digest are bound into scoped call identity so approval cannot be reused for different bundle contents.
  • Adds contract 1.29 wire compatibility tests, policy precedence tests, approval-scope tests, adapter tests, and the host contract spec.

Host integration is tracked in tinyhumansai/openhuman#7328 and will consume this contract after it is released.

Verification

  • cargo test -p tinysecurity-approval skill_scan_warning_enters_human_approval
  • cargo test -p tinysecurity-policy host_skill_scan
  • cargo test -p tinysecurity-bus skill_scan_has_stable_verdict_wire_forms
  • cargo test -p tinysecurity-bus contract_bump_is_additive_for_older_hosts_and_modules
  • cargo test -p tinysecurity-module evaluate_applies_host_skill_scan_verdicts_before_run_workflow
  • scripts/ci-cancel-aware.sh cargo test --quiet -p tinysecurity-bus -p tinysecurity-policy -p tinysecurity-approval
  • scripts/ci-cancel-aware.sh cargo clippy -p tinysecurity-bus -p tinysecurity-policy -p tinysecurity-approval -p tinysecurity-module --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all --check

The broader workspace test run still has failures in audit and module tests involving restricted storage/crypto permissions; those are outside the changed crates and are not claimed as passing here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added host-submitted skill-scan decisions tied to the exact skill bundle before execution. Passing scans leave other policy checks in control, warnings require fresh human approval, and blocked or invalid scans deny execution.
    • Updated the contract to version 1.29, allowing hosts to submit scan results with the bundle’s SHA-256 digest.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on scan verdicts, bundle verification, approval behavior, and contract compatibility.

Add engine tests asserting that block and warn skill scan verdicts deny
with the expected reasons while pass allows, and that a warning does not
mask an independent hard denial from another check.

Add a SkillScan check carrying a host-computed pass, warn or block verdict for the exact skill bundle being executed, so hosts can gate execution on scan results rather than trusting model-supplied claims. Bump the contract version to 1.29 and cover the new wire forms with tests.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The binding logic now classifies SkillScan checks as non-external, matching
LocalDiagnostic, so they no longer mark a request as having external effects.

Extend the engine test imports to bring in SkillScanVerdict alongside ToolCall, preparing the test module for assertions that depend on skill scan verdicts.

… test

Renamed the loop binding to scan_verdict so it no longer shadows the verdict field name used when constructing the Check::SkillScan value, keeping the assertion message consistent with the new name.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Skill scan checks now carry a lowercase SHA-256 of the document and
resources the host will expose, and the engine denies the call with
InvalidContext when that digest is missing or malformed. This ties an
approval to the exact bundle that was scanned so a warning cannot be
reused against different content.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add references to the new skill-scan specification across the module and
documentation indexes. The contract introduces Check::SkillScan so the trusted
host can submit a scan verdict and exact bundle digest before an installed skill
runs, with Block denying content, Warn entering the host approval flow, and Pass
leaving remaining policy checks authoritative.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add a test asserting that a skill scan warning routes the request into
human approval without being treated as an external effect, while a block
verdict is denied outright and cannot be overridden.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The skill scan block test now checks that begin returns a denied approval
carrying the Denied lifecycle state, rather than expecting an error. This
matches the engine's actual behaviour of surfacing denials as state.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The test no longer asserts that a skill scan block verdict is denied, so its
name was shortened to match what it actually covers. The removed block
duplicated coverage that lives elsewhere.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add problem statement, goals and non-goals, and acceptance criteria to the
skill-scan contract so the draft status and ownership are explicit. Reformat
the bundle digest test loop to satisfy rustfmt.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The skill scan warning test now registers its scope with auto-approve
enabled and a run_workflow grant, so the warning path is exercised even
when the scope would otherwise skip human approval. A second call with a
blocking skill scan verdict is asserted to be denied outright, confirming
that a block overrides auto-approval.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Requests carrying a skill scan verdict of Block are now treated as
non-original, and a Warn verdict forces human-only approval. This keeps
flagged skills from being auto-approved by the native path.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add a test asserting that run_workflow maps host skill scan verdicts to the
expected policy outcomes, with Block denying on content, Warn denying as
approval unavailable, and Pass allowing. The spec is clarified to state that a
warning requires a fresh human decision and cannot be bypassed by
auto-approve-all, grants, prior approvals, or the judge.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish

…itionals

Pulled the blocked skill scan predicate into a named helper and merged the
matching arms in the external-effect check. Inverted the bundle hash guard in
the policy engine so the success path reads first, with no change in behaviour.

Completeness: Complete
Test assessment: Test coverage is assessed from changed tests and lane evidence; execution is not claimed without trusted check data.

Features

  • Added — SkillScan wire check and verdict type: A trusted host can express a pre-execution scan outcome and the exact bundle digest on the bus instead of inferring it from tool permissions, while the doc comment records that it is supplemental and cannot authorize a call alone. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/policy.rs pub enum Check {, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/policy.rs pub struct ToolCall {)
  • Modified — Contract version bump to 1.29: A 1.29 host accepts later 1.x minors and rejects a 1.28 module, while older same-major hosts retain 1.28 behavior and gain no skill-scan enforcement until their adapter sends the check. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/lib.rs pub use scoped_policy::*;, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/device_frame_tests.rs fn frame_operations_redact_both_payloads_without_changing_open_wire_shape(), crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/device_pairing_tests.rs fn refresh_and_close_are_distinct_transient_session_operations() {, crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/scoped_wire.rs fn new_members_are_advertised_and_named_by_contract_constants() {, crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/wire.rs fn redactor_init_is_additive_and_secrets_never_enter_public_info())
  • Added — Verdict and digest bound into scoped call identity: Folding the verdict and digest into the fingerprint recorded by `check_fields` and the binding means an earlier approval or warning decision cannot be reused against different bundle contents. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/scoped.rs fn check_fields(h: &mut Sha256, check: &Check) {, crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/binding.rs pub(crate) fn original()
  • Modified — Policy verdict mapping with digest validation: `Warn` denies with `ApprovalUnavailable` so the host routes to its human path, `Block` denies with `Content` as a hard refusal, and a digest that is not exactly 64 lowercase hex characters denies with `InvalidContext`. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine.rs impl Policy {)
  • Modified — Block rejection and warning human-only enforcement at the approval layer: A request carrying a `Block` scan is rejected with `Denied` before any approval row is created, a `Warn` scan forces the human-only path regardless of auto-approve or grants, and `SkillScan` is not treated as an external effect. (crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/binding.rs pub(crate) fn native_safe_call(request: &EvaluateRequest) -> Result<String> {, crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/engine.rs impl Engine {)
  • Modified — Admission-only predicate accepts a supplemental scan: A host-tool call may carry a `SkillScan` check and still be handled as an admission question, while the predicate still requires at least one host action or shell check, so a scan alone does not qualify; the policy engine continues to deny Warn and Block independently of that path. (crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs fn permission_payload(mut original: serde_json::Value) -> BusResult<String> {, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_host_tool_tests.rs async fn a_mixed_request_is_not_an_admission_and_stays_audit_bound() -> TestResu)
  • Added — 1.29 specification and implementation plan: The specification records the verdict mapping, digest binding, human-only warning path, non-cacheable binding, and additive 1.29 compatibility, and the plan records the ordered work, verification commands, and open completion items for review and artifact publication. (docs/specs/skill-scan-contract-1.29.md, docs/plans/skill-scan-contract-1.29.md)

Tests

  • wire_round_trip — Each verdict serializes to its snake_case wire form with the bundle digest and round-trips back to an equal `Check`.: Covers the new wire type; the tests lane is answered and reports the behavior is pinned by a test that would fail on regression. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/policy_tests.rs fn host_shell_has_a_stable_strict_wire_form() -> TestResult {)
  • contract_compatibility — Asserts the version is 1.29, that 1.29 is compatible, and that 1.28 is no longer compatible.: Covers the 1.29 boundary; the tests lane is answered and reports the behavior is pinned. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/scoped_wire.rs fn new_members_are_advertised_and_named_by_contract_constants() {, crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/wire.rs fn redactor_init_is_additive_and_secrets_never_enter_public_info())
  • contract_additive_for_older_hosts — Exercises a policy configured with contract version 1.28 being accepted, showing the additive same-major behavior described in the spec.: The tests lane is answered and reports the contract-minor acceptance behavior is pinned. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine_tests.rs fn host_tool_needs_approval_instead_of_being_unsupported() -> Result<()> {)
  • policy_verdict_mapping — Block denies with `Content`, Warn denies with `ApprovalUnavailable`, and Pass allows, for a call that also carries a non-effecting host action.: The tests lane is answered and reports the verdict mapping is pinned. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine_tests.rs fn verdict(policy: &Policy, request: &EvaluateRequest) -> Result<Verdict> {)
  • digest_validation — Empty, uppercase, non-hex and 63-character digests each deny with `InvalidContext`.: The tests lane is answered and reports digest rejection is pinned. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine_tests.rs fn host_tool_needs_approval_instead_of_being_unsupported() -> Result<()> {)
  • approval_lifecycle — A Warn scan produces a pending, non-external-effect approval even when the scope has auto-approve-all, while a Block scan is rejected with `Denied`.: Pins the human-only behavior at the approval layer; the tests lane is answered and reports it would fail on regression. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/engine_scopes_tests.rs async fn host_tool_marker_is_an_external_effect_that_cron_cannot_reach() -> Resu)
  • adapter_verdict_application — Evaluating a `run_workflow` call carrying a host action plus a scan yields Deny/Content for Block, Deny/ApprovalUnavailable for Warn and Allow for Pass.: Exercises the adapter path; the tests lane is answered and reports the behavior is pinned. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_host_tool_tests.rs async fn evaluate_reads_and_spends_the_named_command_scopes_budget() -> TestResu)
  • admission_predicate_shape — An admission-only call carrying a host action plus a Pass scan is admission-only, while a call containing only the scan is not.: New with the relaxed predicate; the tests lane is answered and reports the adapter tests cover the new predicate shape. No test execution is claimed here. (crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_host_tool_tests.rs async fn a_mixed_request_is_not_an_admission_and_stays_audit_bound() -> TestResu)

tests

  • Conclusion: Success
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Positive: The tests lane answered and reported that the new wire form, verdict mapping, block rejection in the binding, human-only warning path and adapter admission path each have a behavioral test that would fail on regression, including the malformed-digest and no-masking cases, while also raising one test-quality problem: the plan's claimed process isolation for the two confidential fixtures does not isolate anything.
  • Lane summary: Contract 1.29 adds `Check::SkillScan` with host verdicts and a bundle digest, denies `Block` in the approval binding, forces `Warn` into the human-only path, and maps the verdicts in policy with digest validation; the new branches are covered by tests at each layer (policy verdicts, malformed digests, approval lifecycle, adapter dispatch, wire round trip).

📝 Walkthrough

Contract 1.29 adds host-submitted skill-scan verdicts and bundle digests. Policy validates digests and evaluates Pass, Warn, and Block. The module adapter and approval engine handle scan outcomes, including human approval for warnings. Two process-owned fixture tests now run their existing test logic in child processes.

Changes: Skill-scan decisions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contract and compatibility
crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/policy.rs, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/lib.rs, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/*tests.rs, crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/*, docs/specs/skill-scan-contract-1.29.md, docs/README.md, README.md, MODULE.md
The bus adds SkillScanVerdict and Check::SkillScan, with a bundle digest. The contract version changes to 1.29. Documentation describes verdict outcomes and compatibility.
Policy evaluation and fingerprinting
crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine.rs, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/scoped.rs, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/engine_tests.rs
Policy validates lowercase 64-character SHA-256 digests. Pass succeeds the scan check, Warn requires approval, and Block denies for content. Scoped fingerprints include the verdict and digest. Tests cover verdicts, malformed digests, and related policy denials.
Host-tool admission handling
crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_host_tool_tests.rs
Admission-only handling accepts SkillScan checks alongside host action or shell checks. Tests cover admission status and decisions for each verdict.
Block denial and warning approval
crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/binding.rs, crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/engine.rs, crates/tinysecurity-approval/src/engine_scopes_tests.rs
Approval binding rejects blocked skill scans and excludes scan checks from external-effect calculations. Warning requests bypass reviewed reuse and automatic approval. Tests verify pending warnings and blocked scans.

Test fixture process isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Run process-owned fixtures in child processes
crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_secret_tests.rs, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter_secret_cipher_fixture_tests.rs
A helper runs the current test executable with a test filter and process marker. The cipher fixture and master-resolution tests use the helper to run their existing test logic in the child process.

Explanation

The title "feat(policy): add host skill scan verdict check" matches the main change. The PR adds a host-supplied SkillScan check (Pass, Warn, Block verdict with a SHA-256 bundle digest) to the policy contract, and the policy engine evaluates it. The title is specific, follows a conventional-commit style, and is under 50 characters. It does not cover approval reuse, adapter, or the contract version bump to 1.29, but the task does not require every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 70.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 40 functions across 17 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

A rabbit checks the bundle’s trail,
Three verdicts cross the wire with care.
A warning waits for humans’ say,
A block will stop it on its way.
The tests hop into child-process air,
Then bring their fixture modes to bear.

Add a test asserting that a passing skill scan alone cannot authorize a host tool call, which must still be denied as an unsupported effect. This locks in that skill scan verdicts never substitute for an explicit effect check.

Skill scan checks were matched by the host tool call arm in the policy
engine, so a request carrying only a skill scan was evaluated as a host
tool invocation. The arm no longer matches skill scans, and the affected
tests now pair the scan with a non-effecting host action so they still
exercise the intended path.

The skill-scan contract now states that a scan verdict is supplemental to the
host-effect check and can never authorize a tool call on its own. It also
documents that 1.29 is additive for older same-major hosts, which keep 1.28
behavior until their adapter sends the check, and corrects the acceptance
criteria to describe a 1.29 host rejecting a 1.28 module. A test asserts that
an older same-major host config is still accepted.

Extend the mixed-request test to assert that a skill scan check alongside an
acting check still counts as admission-only, while a skill scan on its own does
not.

The admission_only predicate now accepts SkillScan checks alongside host
action and shell checks, and requires at least one host-tool or shell
question to be present. This keeps skill scans from being rejected as
non-admission checks under contract 1.20.

Evaluate malformed and Block SkillScan results before the generic scan.

A matching host call runs scan_tool_definition before Check::SkillScan. A suspicious tool definition returns ApprovalUnavailable, so it can convert a SkillScanVerdict::Block into a human-approval path. A non-clean scan can also replace malformed-digest InvalidContext with a generic scan result. This violates the SkillScan contract. Preserve the existing generic-denial precedence for Warn.

🟠 Major · Do not reuse an approved row for a repeated SkillScan::Warn request. · engine.rs:763-787

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not reuse an approved row for a repeated SkillScan::Warn request.

begin_inner returns an exact existing row before the Warn-specific human_only and never_reused checks. finish_begin repeats the same exact-binding lookup after the new row is prepared. An existing Approved Warn row therefore can be returned without a new human decision. Exclude only approved Warn rows from both lifecycle reuse checks. Pending Warn rows can still resume, and non-Warn reuse and Block rejection remain unchanged.

crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/scoped.rs:109-117
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the normal cacheability rule to tool-denial early returns.

A SkillScan call with a registered tool-rule denial returns before the normal all(reusable) assignment and is marked cacheable. This violates the contract that SkillScan calls are not reusable by registered-policy caching.

The fingerprint includes the verdict and digest, so this does not allow reuse across different scan verdicts or digests. It still exposes the call to caching when the contract forbids it.

Suggested fix
-            decision.decision.cacheable = true;
+            decision.decision.cacheable = request.call.checks.iter().all(reusable);
