Task 8.2 (Req 9.3).
- improve/evolve.py: evaluate_profiles filters holdout pairs to
GATING_TIERS before computing per-profile metrics, so advisory and
title pairs are scored by `pairs` but never gate a round; a regression
on reviewed pairs still rejects with profile_regression:<profile>.
- tests: a regression confined to title pairs is accepted; the same
regression on reviewed pairs is rejected and the title pairs are
excluded from the gated profile rather than outvoted.

Tasks 8.1, 7.1 (tests) and the re-scoped 5.3.
- pairs.py: review_tier in {seeded, advisory, title, reviewed} with
per-slice defaults (local reviewed, vibe-py seeded, sast/vfc/vfc-js/
github advisory, agent-vfc title); reviewer = "pending" means title, a
named reviewer means reviewed, reviewed without a reviewer is rejected;
per_tier metrics in the payload; select_tier and GATING_TIERS for the
improve loop.
- catalog_gen.py: stamps review_tier (and reviewer) on every generated
row and training manifest row; title rows enter catalog.toml; the
catalog-candidates.toml queue is retired; precedence matches the loader.
- agent-vfc: 29 title-tier rows load and score (0/29, Youden 0.0, the
honest unreviewed baseline); local rows name their reviewer.
- Tests: tier defaults, loader rejections, per_tier payload, the Req 8.1
catalog-on-disk / stage-1 exclusion proof and per-slice CLI checks.

Task 6.3.
- improve/evolve.py: evaluate_profiles and profile_regressions score the
holdout pair split per provenance profile every round; a drop in pair
pass rate or Youden beyond --profile-tolerance rejects the round with
reason profile_regression:<profile>; profiles under
--min-holdout-pairs are reported, not gated; journal records both.
- cli improve: --pair-catalog, --no-pair-gate, --profile-tolerance,
--min-holdout-pairs; a missing catalog fails loud instead of skipping
the gate.

Task 6.1.
- provenance.py: classify a checkout as human / agent / mixed / unknown
from deterministic signals only (.claude/, AGENTS.md, Lovable meta,
agent git trailers on a bounded commit sample); no model involved.
- cli scan runs a `provenance` stage; the manifest records the result.

Tasks 1.2, 2.1-2.5 and 6.2 (pair-side filters).
- pairs.py: coverage with a source counts as detection and as leak;
function-scoped matching by line-range containment from the vulnerable
side's parse (unresolvable labels are counted loss, never silent
misses); exact or alias sink matching; weak CWE-only labels never match;
side-by-side inventory/overlay/hunter scorers; per_profile,
per_mechanism, achievable, known_limit and loss payload; loader rejects
unknown mechanism/provenance/split and reserved or missing function
labels on harvested slices; candidate rulesets thread through for the
improve loop.
- overlay.py: OverlayRecord.function (additive) filled from the shared
naming helper in one parse; benchmark.py: ExpectedFinding.mechanism.
- cli pairs: --slice over every slice, --profile, --split, --hunter,
--hunter-model.
- catalogs migrated to the new schema (provenance, split, function,
mechanism, known_limit for owasp-java-hash); baseline recorded in the
spec notes.

Tasks 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 and the data half of 5.3.
- mechanisms.toml: closed vocabulary v1 (20 ids) every expected row cites.
- vibe-py: 35 Real-Vuln-Benchmark pairs (Apache-2.0), human provenance only
because the LLM-generated repositories carry no license (escalated).
- vfc-js: 17 Node fix-commit pairs harvested upstream (MIT/Apache-2.0),
SecBench.js itself is not vendored (no license); sinks derived on 13/17.
- agent-vfc: 29 agent-trailer fixes as catalog-candidates.toml plus
REVIEW.md; the loaded catalog stays empty until a human reviews them.
- datasets.toml and README document every slice and its review status.

Tasks 3.3 and 4.1.
- vfc curl and openssl-cve-2021-3449 excerpts re-harvested through the
shared library: whole functions with upstream_start headers, the
vendored key redacted code-safely, no truncated bodies.
- vfc/recipes.toml carries mode, fix_path and function anchors;
training/manifest.jsonl regenerated.
- Juliet CWE-121 strcpy pair gets its buffer declarations back so the
vulnerable side is a real overflow again.

Tasks 3.1, 3.2 (harvest library) and the Scorer-owned naming helper.
- semantic/functions.py: one source of function names for scorer, overlay
and catalog generator (declarator wins over parser name; JS/TS bare-param
arrows and undeclared methods are <anon>; C++ Class::method resolves to
its unqualified tail; Perl sub; statements never name).
- benchmarks/pairs/harvest.py: shared library with name / line_range /
hunk / enclosing modes, comment-blind masking (triple-quote aware),
upstream_start headers, code-safe quoted-only redaction.
- benchmarks/pairs/catalog_gen.py: derive function labels and sinks from
the declarator at the mapped sink location, CWE-family sink tokens,
--prune with refusal when nothing derived, fails loud without the
package; vfc/harvest.py and vfc/generate_catalog.py become shims.
- tests/test_pair_harvest.py replaces test_vfc_harvest.py.

Harvest 176 isolated vuln-vs-fix functions (109 CVEs, 352 training rows)
into benchmarks/pairs/vfc with provenance and a JSONL training manifest.
Score the slice as an honesty dashboard (ousast pairs --slice vfc);
keep the pair gate on the local fixtures only.
Add openultrasast[semantic] with official grammar wheels and one CST walker
into FileIR. quick stays extra-free. Host CLI is not overlay-ready. Default CI
stays extra-free; a semantic job runs pytest -m semantic.
Stdlib parser only; pytest skips it so tests cannot pick up a developer key.
The embedding model is openai/text-embedding-3-small via OpenRouter /embeddings.
Regex inventory stays the proposer. MAP attaches promote/demote/unadjudicated/coverage
from intra-file taint (tree-sitter when a grammar parses, Python ast as last resort).
Deep sandboxes promotions only, ordered by the existing heuristic ranker plus optional
OpenRouter mechanism recall. The SAST pair slice scores overlay outcomes; the stage-1
detection gate and local pair gate stay inventory-only.
Replace the hardcoded skill-name stub with a real, routable skill index.
- skills.py (zero-dep): SkillDescriptor inventory (~22 ToB skills with routing
metadata — languages, tags, vulnerability classes, stages — plus a short operating
checklist each), aligned with the spec's routing examples. route_skills scores by
vulnerability-class/tag/stage signal with a language filter+bonus, and never selects
on a pure language match. route_skills_for_target derives vuln classes from tags;
select_skill_context packs checklists into a char budget; skill_chunks chunks the
guidance into the `skills` retrieval namespace.
- hunter.select_skill_snippets now delegates to the router (existing C-memory and
crypto+auth routing expectations preserved).
- hunter_harness._describe feeds the budget-capped routed skill context into the
HarnessX hunter prompt (the genuine consumer of skill_budget_chars).
- 8.4 zero-dep guard extended to cover skills.py.

A zero-dependency MCP server over stdio (newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0) for
OpenCode/IDE integration, exposing only stable project-level operations.
- mcp.py: McpServer (pure handle() dispatch) + serve() stdio loop, stdlib-only.
Ten tools: openultrasast.scan/status/findings/get_finding/evidence/artifacts/
benchmark/explain/propose_patch/export_report. scan/benchmark run the bounded
analysis pipeline; NO tool accepts a free-form command — no shell, Docker, or
internal hunter tools are exposed. propose_patch degrades visibly (patch oracle
is a later phase). initialize/tools/list/tools/call/ping handled; notifications
get no response; errors surface as JSON-RPC errors instead of crashing the loop.
- cli: `ousast mcp` subcommand launches the stdio server (lazy import → keeps the
mcp↔cli cycle one-directional).
- tests/test_mcp.py: tool listing is exactly the narrow surface, surface-safety
(no shell/exec/command tool), scan→status→findings→explain→evidence flow,
export_report, propose_patch degradation, and the stdio loop round-trip.
- README "MCP server" section; openrouter-sast-harness Phase 12 checked off.
Verified end-to-end over real stdio (initialize → tools/list → scan). 179 passed,
4 skipped; ruff + mypy clean; detection gate PASS.

Express the deterministic scan stages as model-disabled processors carrying work in
named slots under a read/write allow-list validated on every lifecycle hook.
- slot_contract.py (zero-dep): SlotContractError, SlotContractMixin (reads_slots/
writes_slots/skip_model=True, validates reads pre-hook and writes post-hook),
SlotPipeline (runs stages in order, enforces the model-disabled invariant, emits
stage_start/stage_end lifecycle hooks). Preserves the ProcessorSpec.reads/writes
provenance discipline without forcing deterministic stages through HarnessX's agent
loop ("bridge, do not map").
- stage_processors.py: Preprocess/EntryPoint/Rank/QuickFindings/PolicyScoring/Score as
skip_model slot processors; run_quick_pipeline is byte-identical to the quick path.
host_under_harnessx is the lazy, capability-gated bridge that disables the model on
HarnessX's BeforeModelEvent.skip_model (proven against the real API when the extra
is present).
- 8.4 zero-dep guard hardened: now hermetic (subprocess) and covers the two new
modules; the module-level import scan flags only column-0 imports so the intended
lazy import inside host_under_harnessx is allowed.
The sync HarnessRuntime stays the top-level driver (design "stays through Phase 4");
these slot processors are the model-disabled representation, ready for Phase 5.

9.1 — end-to-end fallback parity: a requested-but-unavailable HarnessX standard
scan (models set, extra absent) produces byte-identical findings to the plain
deterministic path, differing only by the recorded hunter_pool/verify degradations;
quick mode is unaffected by the extra (identical findings present-or-absent, never a
degradation).
9.2 — per-slot serialization round-trip: StaticFinding / RankingScore / FileTarget /
VerificationResult / ScoreArtifact round-trip through JSON without loss, plus the real
findings.json reload path preserves nested slots (reachability evidence/conditions,
tags) rather than restoring them empty. Covers the current artifact-persistence model;
the HarnessX processor slot-contract variant stays deferred with task 6.3.

Add a [harnessx] config block so the agentic plane can be steered from
openultrasast.toml, and make the LLM provider selectable (the hunter and verifier
previously hardcoded AnthropicProvider).
- config.HarnessxConfig: provider ("anthropic"|"openai"|"litellm", default
anthropic), max_cost_usd (2.0), token_threshold (120000); parsed from [harnessx].
- harness_ext.build_provider: single lazy, capability-guarded provider factory.
The provider name is validated before any import, so an unknown choice fails with
a clear ValueError even when the extra is absent; each provider reads its own
standard key env var (openai -> OPENAI_API_KEY, anthropic -> ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
- HxScanOrchestrator and verify_findings_dispatch take a provider and route through
build_provider; cli threads config.harnessx.{provider,max_cost_usd,token_threshold}
into both the hunter and the verifier.
- README: "Configuring the HarnessX agentic plane" section (install, models,
provider, budgets, fallback/degradation).
Test isolation: convert the "harnessx not in sys.modules" import-guards to a
hermetic subprocess fixture (tests/conftest.py assert_cold_of_harnessx) and
simulate extra-absent in the CLI dispatch tests, so the suite is deterministic
whether or not the optional extra is installed (it now is, locally). Verified the
OpenAI path constructs end-to-end (build_provider -> OpenAIProvider; orchestrator
-> Harness) with the budget threaded through.

Expose the bounded, gated self-improvement loop as a first-class subcommand so it
can be steered from the command line / opencode.
- `ousast improve <manifest>` resolves the target from the benchmark manifest,
runs the loop to convergence, and writes accepted edits to the loop-owned ledger
at <target>/.openultrasast/calibration/rule_policy.json — exactly where `scan`
and `benchmark` read it, so a subsequent scan of that target automatically
picks up the improved ruleset (the loop closes end-to-end).
- Flags: --max-rounds, --recall-floor, --fp-ceiling, --ledger, --journal,
--ruleset-dir, and --dry-run (runs against a throwaway ledger, touches nothing).
- Per-round output: reason, recall/fp/score deltas, and the edits applied.
- tests/test_cli_improve.py: accept path writes the loop-owned ledger (noisy rule
auto-shadowed), --dry-run never touches it, missing manifest fails loudly.
- README: quickstart entry + a "Rule-level loop: ousast improve" subsection
documenting the bounded levers, hard acceptance gate, and the HarnessX MetaAgent
as the optional proposer over the same gated machinery.

Make the >=90% recall / <10% FP detection gate a first-class, score-independent
CI step with non-regression guards.
- openultrasast.gate: canonical corpus map + DetectionMetrics/DetectionGateVerdict,
evaluate_corpus/detection_gate (no score input — cannot be unblocked by score),
merge_gate (ANDs the hard detection gate with the advisory-first score gate),
within_tolerance, and a `python -m openultrasast.gate` entrypoint that exits
non-zero on a breach. Wired as an explicit step in both the GitHub and Dagger
pipelines.
- 8.1: pipeline tests prove a high/passing score cannot unblock a recall-breaching
change; the gate fails below 90% recall or at/above 10% FP.
- 8.2: tests/golden/detection_baseline.json + a byte-identical baseline test for
the default ruleset / empty ledger (44/47 = 93.62% recall, 0% FP).
- 8.3: within_tolerance band logic + a capability-gated HarnessX tolerance test.
- 8.4: zero-dependency guard — governance/scoring/benchmark planes never import
HarnessX (sys.modules check + module-scope import scan).
- test_detection_benchmarks now sources the corpus/aggregation from the gate module.
128 passed, 3 skipped; ruff + mypy clean; detection gate PASS.

Stand up the deterministic self-improvement loop over the ruleset/policy
governance data. Zero-dependency and fully tested offline; detection gate intact.
- 7.1/7.2 bounded levers + validator (improve/validator.py): two levers (rule,
policy); typed edits make pattern-text and 0-5 severity changes structurally
impossible; EvolveValidator rejects bad status, unknown rule_ids (loop cannot add
rules), enabled->disabled jumps (shadow staging mandatory), unresolved CWEs, and
out-of-bounds K/MIN_SCORE, raising StrictValidationError.
- 7.3 novelty + replay + journal (improve/journal.py): a JSON round journal records
every edit/lever/outcome; reverted edits are blocked from re-proposal (novelty);
a replay smoke gate boots the candidate ruleset before re-benchmarking.
- 7.4 benchmark deltas -> rule_signals.json (recall side: miss; precision side: fp).
- 7.5 hard acceptance gate + byte-for-byte revert (improve/evolve.py): a round is
accepted only if recall >= 90% AND FP < 10% AND project score did not regress AND
no matched-finding regression; otherwise the ledger is never written (byte-for-byte
revert). run_round/run_improvement drive rounds to convergence.
- 7.6 auto-shadow precision-draggers (enabled rules with FPs -> shadow, never
delete), nominate coverage gaps via rule_signals, and keep the project score as the
reward separate from the recall/FP feasibility gate (the loop cannot raise the
score by shadowing rules that breach the gate — proven by the revert test).
Design note: the loop's safety machinery is deterministic and benchmark-driven
(the proposer is the per-rule signal); the LLM MetaAgent.evolve is the optional
richer proposer that plugs into this same validated/gated machinery when the
HarnessX extra is present (offline-untestable). This mirrors how DocuHarnessX
realizes self-improvement.
9 new tests (validator, proposer/signals, accept, byte-for-byte revert, convergence);
118 pass total, 2 construction smokes skip without the extra; ruff + mypy clean;
detection gate 93.6%/0% intact. Tasks 7.1-7.6 checked off.
