Board as immutable versioned blobs (coordinator sole writer); budget reserve/settle
before model calls; per-task and run caps; coordinator loop over an injected
executor; batch.py accepts a fixed allow-list of search variables; XSS browser
oracle; ousast-search-task image (Python, Node/TypeScript, PHP, Java 17, sqlite,
bwrap, chromium) built by CI. 103 tests on the host.

The verifier, not the artefact, observes the effect: SQL, path, command and SSRF
oracles owned by the verifier (XSS needs a browser executor, else no_oracle);
artefact exit code and output ignored; immutable checkout and dependencies;
3 runs per side; one-sided build or readiness failure is inconclusive. An
isolation failure raises IsolationUnavailable instead of reading as
could_not_build (the NPROC limit now applies inside the user namespace).
35 tests, including gaming attempts and 300 host processes.

Req 6.5 (maintainer decision 2026-10-05, with search-with-proof): BLOCK comes from
verified demonstrations; the engine is judged by top-K recall per push and advisory
false alarms; the pooled block gate governs only families without an oracle.
Task 17 adds the metric and re-scores existing arms at no cost.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
False alarms count every visible finding; the verifier owns per-family oracles;
inconclusive on one-sided build failure; feasibility pilot separated from a
73-negative BLOCK qualification; coverage ceilings; spend reserved before calls;
key isolated from executed code; cluster model calls supersede the pool VM-only
rule for this arm only. Requirements approval reopened.

After reviewing Cairn: detection so far classified excerpts and hit a precision
wall; this adds directed search with an objective goal (a re-verified
demonstration), a fact/intent board, and reason/explore steps as AX Tasks on
kube-ax. Design only learns from Cairn (AGPL); no code copied.

gVisor replays exhausted the hook's 30 s deadline in the snapshot step on a
1,725-file repository; cluster replays now use 30 s x a measured slowdown
factor, verified on a native sample. The engine runner deletes each pin's fetched
source (1.8 GB had accumulated), caps the cache at 500 MB and refuses below
1.5 GB free. Proof 4.4: two engine pins via the generic dispatcher match the VM
baseline exactly. Implemented with Codex.

Implemented with Codex; task 1.5 run by the coordinator against the real
sources (S3 memory read-only).

Decisions: long-deadline arm (300 s), adoption needs no unseen regression
(Req 5.4), permissive repositories by name only, two AX lanes. Also adds the
trained-classifier and joint-optimisation arms to learned-decision-engine.

Maintainer 2026-10-04: the safety net is for unseen code and the A/B tests exist
to prove the approach generalises; infrastructure work had drifted from that.
Runs are designed for AX on kube-ax, kind is the fallback.

Two engine actors died at gVisor level during a 12-pin run (AX phase Failed, no

Through Cloudflare, signed requests for keys ending .tar/.gz/.zip/.bin reached
RustFS altered and failed with 403 (cf-cache-status BYPASS); the same signed
request straight to RustFS on the LAN returned 200. A Cloudflare cache-bypass
rule on files.because-security.com fixes it (all extensions 200, DYNAMIC); the
engine executors keep .dat as a safeguard, the plane keeps output.tar.
Implemented with Codex.

The Joern leak-audit record named spent population v1/v2 repositories, which
the reserved-repository guard forbids outside benchmarks/independent/ (no v3
repository was involved: 0 matches). Records now carry counts and SHA-256
digests. With Codex.

Coverage 72 path, 231 asked-nothing, 9 failed, 189 unsupported. The engine
almost never distinguishes a vulnerable function from its fix, so a Joern-slice
prompt experiment is not funded; the lever is the engine's knowledge of fix
mechanisms.

A lean overlay omits otel-collector, prometheus and jaeger and disables the
exporters; on an existing cluster up.sh scales them to 0. Verified live: render
has no otel-system resources, up.sh idempotent (54 s second run), smoke Run
done, kind node 2.66 -> 1.82 GiB. Docs say server VM. Implemented with Codex.

Batch 3 of real (vulnerable function, fixed function) pointer pairs, mined at
zero model cost from reviewed GHSA advisories (pip, npm, maven, composer,
published since 2023, newest first). Same rules as batch 2, widened three
ways: a merged PR's single commit when the advisory links no commit, commits
up to 6 files / 240 lines, and two-family advisories with the family read
from the diff. Every candidate's function diff was read: 412 reviewed, 255
kept, 3 one-per-repository, 2 withheld by the reserved-population guard
(bisected with output discarded). Permissive licences only; no repository
named elsewhere under benchmarks/; no WordPress plugin.
Kept 251: injection 56, untrusted_destination 26, path 71, output_encoding
69, access_control 20, deserialization 9; python 83, typescript 48, php 46,
java 37, javascript 37. Only 12 post-cutoff: batch 2 had used up the
post-2026-06-01 pool. Memory 1133 -> 1635 static examples; complete pairs in
the whole memory 459 -> 710. Embeddings: 15 calls, $0.0030. No chat-model
call, no Docker, no Joern. Record:
benchmarks/measurements/2026-10-04-decision-engine-harvest-3.

The query fix stops a class-level call from aborting the whole taint batch on
real PHP code; gate, map_gate and pair_gate outputs are unchanged. Trace parsing
lives with the runner (benchmarks/learn/engine_trace_parse.py).

On real PHP source (CPS-IT/mailqueue) a call outside any method has a null
.method; inScope/nestedInLabeled dereferenced it (NullPointerException) and the
script exited 1, losing every taint answer for the repository. 16 sites in
taint/dominance/config/vocabulary.sc now treat a null method as out of scope;
non-null behaviour is unchanged (same outputs on the repro graph for the other
scripts). Static regression test added. Implemented with Codex.

The worker sent tuple params as JSON arrays; taint.sc expects comma-joined
strings (ujson InvalidData, exit 1). Implemented with Codex.

Root causes of the 50 failed pins in trace run 1: advisory pairs were fed as
excerpts (invalid Java/JS fragments), the JVM defaulted to ~768 MB heap in a
3 GB container, and mixed-language pins were refused. Implemented with Codex.

The 2026-09-14 engine image has no PyYAML or boto3; the worker no longer imports
learn.examples. Implemented with Codex.

slice.py renders source -> step -> sink lines with fixed wording for flow,
no-flow and not-analysable; the prompt option is default-off (byte-identical
default prompt). semantic IR: JS/C declarations count as assignments, augmented
assignment keeps its target (gate, map_gate, pair_gate outputs unchanged).
Audit over exp-004's 501 units: 59 flow, 161 no-flow, 281 not analysable;
has-flow within-pair accuracy 0.52, pooled AUC 0.55 -- no leak. Fixes a
numbering bug that rejected every excerpt with a blank line. With Codex.

Population v2 scans are named <case>--<side>_a/_b.json; the script looked only
for <case>--<side>.json and recorded those examples as engine not-run. The two
repeats combine symmetrically for both sides. Implemented with Codex.

The estimator priced all input at the full rate (\$5.58 estimated vs \$1.24
spent); it now uses the family mean billed cost of cached responses when usage
is recorded. Implemented with Codex.
