First live run: the reason step got ~190 tokens and returned {} -> silent
no_evidence. Now: a bootstrap intent reads the candidate and its entry point; the
reason prompt states the goal, family oracles, demo schema and must propose
intents when none are open; empty replies retry once then end as reason_refused;
failure records keep messages.

One side per run over selected pilot pairs: board, brain on the VM with the
project DeepSeek client, executor tasks on kube-ax, verification on the VM lane
(AX verify lane switchable). Hard run ceiling with reservation before every call,
per-search and step caps; fixed side never sees the vulnerable revision; records
carry digests only. Dry run with the stub model reaches demonstrated.

Reasons carry type plus a sanitised message tail; command failures carry phase,
exit code and bounded stderr. Scratch walk tolerates directories pip removes
mid-walk; writable /workspace/home and runtime paths. Capacity retries delete a
possibly created task before resubmitting. Docker smoke checks the image first.

20 development pairs, one per repository, 4 per language, 5 per family; identities
in a gitignored manifest, counts and digest committed. Executor smoke drives one
executor task end to end without a model and fails loudly on an unread clone.
kube-ax operator constraints as steering.

Demos are data the verifier executes (fixed build recipes, runtime+path start,
HTTP/CLI steps with captures; the canary is never referable). The agent loop with
the key never runs repository code: executor tasks without a key exchange commands
and results through presigned objects. AX capacity errors are back-pressure with at
most 2 tasks in flight; caches and builds under /workspace with a 2 GiB guard;
verifiers take one presigned archive per side. Launcher fix: private /dev in bwrap.
190 tests on the host; probe 5/5 demonstrated.

Replaces the accepted key-exposure exception: the key never shares a sandbox with
repository code; executor AX tasks exchange commands and results via presigned
objects. Firecracker executors only if the pilot build-failure rate requires it.

kube-ax probe: AX tasks have no capabilities (no namespaces, no setuid), so no
in-task isolation. Demos become data the verifier executes; the explore key risk is
accepted and bounded by cap and rotation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
The kube-ax probe showed bwrap cannot map uids in gVisor as an unprivileged user.
As root (gVisor is the outer boundary) the sandbox uses pid/ipc/uts/net/mount
namespaces without a user namespace and drops the artefact to its own uid via
setpriv; the mode is recorded. The probe reports each namespace kind separately.

Probe runs each oracle toy pair with a real demo and two gaming demos, records
image facts, RSS and disk, fails loudly if isolation is unavailable; dispatchable
as an AX task. Worker: reason step without tools, explore tool loop whose run tool
goes through the sandbox with a scrubbed env (model key absent), spend reserved
before each call. Host probe: 5/5 real demos demonstrated, 10/10 gaming demos
inconclusive. 89 tests.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
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

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.

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.

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:

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

Root causes of the 50 failed pins in trace run 1: advisory pairs were fed as
