Linked Issue

Part of #1305 (slice 2 of 3; the issue closes with the last slice, not here)

Closes #1659
Closes #1660

Design thread: maintainer direction recorded 2026-09-30 in the issue: consent covers reads and writes outside the repo and registered same-clone worktrees, per target and per session. This slice is the runtime fence for path tools; the bash fence (cd, git -C, cp, mv, rsync, tee, redirections) is slice 3.

Test Plan

  • node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/path-consent-fence.test.ts — 8/8 (RED observed first: module absent)
  • node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/gentle-ai.test.ts — 92/92 (includes the 2 new hook tests)
  • node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/yolo-customize.test.ts tests/yolo-mode-runtime.test.ts tests/path-consent-fence.test.ts tests/gentle-ai.test.ts — 115/115
  • Registry/grants/guard suites green (session-worktree-registry 10/10, foreign-target-grants 8/8, autonomous-guard, destructive-command-guard)
  • pnpm typecheck — 187 recorded diagnostics, no regressions

Refresh after merging main (2026-10-10), HEAD e262890dc:

  • node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/path-consent-fence.test.ts tests/session-worktree-registry.test.ts — 33/33 (RED observed first for both bug(safety): harden path-consent fence inputs (malformed session root disarms the fence) #1660 follow-ups: bash TypeError on a missing confirm; drift test fails naming 'glob' when it is unclassified)
  • node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/gentle-ai.test.ts — 138/138
  • node scripts/build-runtime-modules.mjs --check — runtime matches sources; git diff --check origin/main...HEAD clean
  • npm test — 5997 tests, 0 failed, 56 skipped, 18 cancelled. The 18 cancellations (tests/codegraph-tools.test.ts, tests/gentle-agents.test.ts) reproduce identically on clean main c3b80f163, so they are pre-existing and unrelated.
  • Independent read-only verification of both bug(safety): harden path-consent fence inputs (malformed session root disarms the fence) #1660 follow-ups: pass. It also confirmed that pattern and glob (classified non-path) cannot add a search root in the current Pi grep/find implementations.

Chain Context

Field Value
Chain 1305-boundary-consent
Position 2 of 3
Base main
Depends on #1520 (slice 1, prompt rule) is independent; slice 2 implements the answered Q1 (reads and writes, per target and per session)
Follow-up slice 3 bash fence (cd, git -C, cp, mv, rsync, tee, redirections; scripts/indirect-access limits already stated in-thread)
Review budget ~800 / 400 (over budget). The original slice was 397 lines; the #1659/#1660 hardening added the rest, mostly tests. Each hardening is its own commit, so it can be reviewed commit by commit or split out on request.

Scope


Contributor Checklist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Access to files outside the repository and registered worktrees requires confirmation for each target. Approved targets remain accessible across supported file and search tools for the rest of the session.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Outside-root access is blocked when confirmation is unavailable or declined. Path checks account for symbolic links and ignore invalid worktree boundaries. When no Git worktree boundary is available, the path check does not block the action.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension now checks paths used by supported tools against the session worktree and registered same-clone worktrees. Outside targets require session-scoped consent when a UI is available. Headless sessions block those targets. Bash remains outside the fence.

Changes

Path tool consent

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path boundary and consent decisions
lib/path-consent-fence.ts, lib/session-worktree-registry.ts, tests/path-consent-fence.test.ts
Adds target collection, canonicalization, boundary checks, session-scoped grants, and path-fence decisions. The registry returns worktree roots for a session. Tests cover path resolution, boundaries, grants, tool defaults, and fence outcomes.
Consent in guarded tool calls
extensions/gentle-ai.ts, tests/gentle-ai.test.ts, odd/tasks/1305-path-tool-fence.md
The extension checks guarded tool paths against session worktree roots and uses confirmation events for outside targets. Tests cover approval, denial, headless blocking, and unavailable worktree identity. The project note records the slice scope and task status.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 535a7

Outside-worktree tools can bypass consent in an affected resumed session, and the previously reported path-handling risks remain open. Resolve these boundaries before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 535a7

The change adds meaningful protection for files outside the project. However, enforcement when session identity is unavailable, recovery from confirmation errors, and approval ownership across session transitions remain insufficiently established. These uncertainties matter because the affected tools can read or modify files with the application's filesystem privileges.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant exposure is the application's local filesystem authority: an agent-selected path can request reads, writes, or edits outside the authorized worktrees. An enforcement bypass would leave ordinary outside targets reachable up to operating-system permissions and other applicable controls; the fence itself does not provide an operating-system sandbox.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A falsy session ID returns undefined before target evaluation, and the hook continues when no denial is returned. The supplied candidates remain deferred, not verified findings. The base also allowed ordinary outside paths without this fence, so this bypass is not established as newly increased exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Approval authority is an exact true result from interactive confirmation, not a permission event. Missing confirmation capability yields ordinary denial, grants contain exact canonical targets rather than directory prefixes, and a different session ID cannot reuse them.
  • observed — Canonicalization handles existing and dangling links, missing destination suffixes, cycles, and non-directory ancestors. The inspected tests include actual write/read witnesses for stable symlink destinations. They do not establish atomic binding between the checked target and later tool execution during filesystem mutation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Ordinary denial and confirmation failure do not record a grant. Confirmation failure emits a denied terminal event and attempts lifecycle settlement, then rethrows. Without the host's exception contract, that throw cannot be treated as proof that the underlying operation is blocked. Session identity is also not revalidated after the awaited confirmation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make unavailable session identity and confirmation failures return an explicit denial for established Git-backed sessions, while preserving the intentional non-Git behavior. Validate this against the supported host contract rather than relying on exception propagation.
  • proposed — Bind pending approval to a session-lifecycle identity, revalidate it before granting or continuing, and explicitly retire grants when that lifecycle ends. Establish the intended behavior for same-ID resume, interrupted prompts, concurrent calls, and target changes during confirmation.

Authorization Bypass

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-367 — Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

Bind execution to the target that the user approved.

If repo/alias.txt initially links to outside target A, the dialog requests consent for A. A process with repository write access can change the link to outside target B while the dialog is pending. Approval grants A, but this return permits execution with the original event.input. Pi's default writer resolves that pathname again and can write B without consent. Its mutation queue does not enforce the approved target. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Re-evaluate the target after confirmation and block or request new consent if it changed. Also bind the filesystem operation to the validated target through a race-resistant operation; a second pathname check alone leaves another race window. Add a test that changes the symlink during confirmation.

Based on learnings: separate pathname validation and later pathname use creates a “TOCTOU race.”

Path Traversal

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-180

Use the tool's path normalization before checking consent.

For write({ path: "@/tmp/notes.txt", content: "..." }), the fence checks <cwd>/@/tmp/notes.txt and passes. Pi 0.99.1 strips the leading @ and writes /tmp/notes.txt. Pi also accepts file:// paths, which this resolver treats as relative paths. A crafted tool argument can therefore access an outside target without consent, including in headless sessions. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use the same normalization contract as the underlying tool before applying realpathSync. Add regression tests for @-prefixed absolute paths and file URLs.

Cover the cases named by this test.

The test uses an in-root path, session "s1", and hasUI=true, so it only checks the ordinary "pass" path. It does not exercise the sensitive-path short circuit or the no-session guard in confirmOutsideBoundaryTargets. Add tool-call assertions for an outside sensitive path and for an outside path with no sessionManager. The existing denial test covers an ordinary outside target, but a regression in either named guard can leave this test green.

@dnlrsls this is ready for review. I refreshed it on top of current main and it now closes #1659 and #1660.

Your two hardening commits are kept as-is (c4bdac568 dangling symlinks, 2a7781402 invalid registered roots). On top of them I closed the two #1660 secondaries your tracking doc left open:

  • 5ac2363df: a UI without a callable confirm is treated as headless in both the guarded-bash and path-fence flows (deny with the headless reason, no permission events). Before this, the bash flow threw a TypeError.
  • e262890dc: a drift test classifies every input key of the six fenced tools' real Pi schemas, so a new path-bearing key fails CI instead of being silently unfenced.

Heads-up on size: it is now ~800 lines against the 400 budget, mostly tests. Each hardening is its own commit, so it reads well commit by commit, and I can split the #1660 follow-ups into a chained PR if you prefer. The PR also has no type:* label yet, and I can't add labels here.

…lers (Gentleman-Programming#1305)

Since Gentleman-Programming#2102 every non-shell tool call also passes the Auto permission
gate, which fails closed for a context without a session manager. The
fence is still silent there; assert that directly instead of requiring
an undefined overall verdict.
@danielgap

Refreshed onto main 0b5c6d9f9 with a merge (same as the earlier refreshes on this branch), so no force-push.

  • Conflict: textual only, in createGentleAiExtension, where feat(permissions): add contextual Auto and persistent mode defaults #2102 declared the Auto permission runtime next to this PR's pathTargetGrants. Both are kept.
  • Ordering after the merge: sensitive-path check, then this fence, then auto.guard and the Auto gate. A fence denial stops there. A granted outside-worktree path still continues into the Auto gate, so in Auto mode it gets human consent first and then the classifier. That seemed the conservative reading, since access outside the session worktree is a human decision. Happy to change it if you'd rather have Auto replace the prompt there.
  • Test change (449de6580): since feat(permissions): add contextual Auto and persistent mode defaults #2102, every non-shell tool call also runs auto.check, which fails closed for a context without a session manager (lib/auto-permission-runtime.ts, own() reads ctx.sessionManager unguarded). One fence test asserted an undefined overall verdict for that case. It now asserts what the fence owns: no confirmation and none of the fence's block reasons. A mutation check confirms it still catches a fence block.

Verification: path-consent-fence 18/18, gentle-ai.test 138/138, autonomous-guard 55/55, check-types 0 diagnostics. Full suite: 6385 pass; the only failures are codegraph-tools, gentle-agents and installer-posix-bootstrap under full-suite load, all byte-identical to main and passing standalone.
