Optimize Apocv4 coding agent — Part 7 of 14

Continuing from `036da6b`; R007 is deferred as authorized. I’m advancing the next active, source-verifiable R006 reuse-gap binding and will leave a bounded receipt with exact negative evidence before updating the checkpoint.

The next binding is now audited: existing worktree, review, and orchestration seams are real, but the claimed agent-loop efficacy is not proven. I retained the gap and advanced R006 from 59/568 to 60/567.

"P0 execution: admission oracle, durable reservation, exclusive lease, source currency, workspace/output enforcement, and launcher remain open." what does this mean? Are you sufficiently cutting corners? You need to take more risks and or logical leaps of faith, let's make this more efficient.

That line means the agent has design/code for several safety boundaries, but we have not yet proven the complete effectful path end-to-end. I’m checking the exact P0 acceptance wording so I can separate what is already implemented from what is merely unverified, then I’ll identify the safest high-leverage shortcut.

That sentence means: - Admission oracle: the system must decide whether a request is allowed before effects begin. - Durable reservation: resources, principals, and permissions must survive restart without ambiguity. - Exclusive lease: two agents cannot concurrently control the same protected resource. - Source currency: the agent must prove it is operating on the intended repository/commit/worktree state. - Workspace/output enforcement: writes must stay inside the authorized worktree and declared output set. - Launcher: the final guarded step that actually starts a coding process has not been proven end-to-end. The important distinction is: most of the components exist in code/specifications and have focused tests; the complete chained effectful path has not yet been demonstrated. Therefore the system remains read-only or degraded by design. You’re right that the process can be more aggressive. I have been over-investing in exhaustive gap accounting. I’ll use this sharper rule: - Skip R007 provider validation as explicitly authorized. - Prioritize the smallest end-to-end local proof over more inventory. - Reuse existing Apocv3/Apocrypha worktree, broker, oracle, and EffectGateway seams. - Run bounded “TRY_ANYWAY” integration probes with disposable worktrees and fake/local runtimes. - Stop tests as soon as they discriminate the decision. - Parallelize independent source audits and test preparation. - Preserve failures as typed evidence, but do not treat local success as RunPod or production proof. - Take architectural leaps where rollback is cheap; do not leap across security, provenance, consent, or release boundaries. So: more risk in experimentation and integration, zero risk-taking with authority, secrets, irreversible effects, or truth claims.

I’m taking the first aggressive-but-reversible step now: find the existing admission/worktree/LPAC seams and determine whether a local guarded launcher can be composed without inventing new infrastructure. If the seams line up, I’ll implement and test that bounded path immediately.

The line means “the individual safeguards are implemented and tested, but the complete chain that would safely launch an effectful coding process has not yet been proven.” I verified the relevant slice: - Admission, durable reservation, identity, confined execution, worktree attestation: **45 tests passed, 73 subtests passed**. - The launcher is intentionally absent because it is the irreversible boundary. We currently prove that a launch *would be allowed or denied*, not that a real subprocess was safely started, constrained, observed, and rolled back. I am cutting corners where they are cheap: - R007 provider validation is deferred. - Existing Apocv3/Apocrypha seams are reused. - Local/fake-runtime probes replace expensive cloud work. - Tests stop at decision-sufficient evidence. - Parallel work and `TRY_ANYWAY` experiments are allowed. I am not taking a leap across the launcher/security boundary yet, because that could turn a false positive into uncontrolled execution. The efficient next move is a disposable local launcher proof: one allow case, one denial case, one workspace-escape case, one timeout/cleanup case, and one rollback receipt. That would close more of P0 than another large audit while remaining reversible.

I’m proceeding with the bounded local launcher proof: first I’m locating the existing confined-execution activation/attestation API and the predecessor launcher contract, then I’ll compose only the smallest disposable subprocess path and exercise allow/deny/escape/cleanup cases.

The reuse search found an important shortcut, but not a safe copy-paste: - Apocrypha already has a real LPAC launcher and attested tool boundary in `[redacted:local-path]\source\repos\Apocrypha\src\apocrypha\evolve\tool_boundary.py`. - It validates launcher identity, source hashes, host/boot identity, expiry, capabilities, and escape-battery receipts. - Apocv4 already has the admission, reservation, worktree, and attestation objects needed to bind to such a launcher. - Directly copying the Apocrypha launcher would be wrong because its receipts are cryptographically[redacted:local-path]-bound to the Apocrypha project and its own runtime. So the efficient path is an Apocv4 adapter around the existing attested launcher contract, followed by a local disposable proof. I have not falsely claimed that proof is complete. The remaining implementation seam is specifically: `Apocv4 ActivationBinding → Apocrypha attested launcher contract → local disposable process → invocation receipt → worktree/output rollback` This is a narrower and more valuable next step than continuing broad inventory.

I’m validating the predecessor launcher’s actual runtime contract now, rather than designing an adapter from signatures alone. If its local escape/cleanup battery is green, I’ll bind only the compatible Apocv4 fields and document any irreducible root/receipt mismatch.

I verified the existing Apocrypha launcher contract instead of recreating it: - `15 passed` in the predecessor LPAC/tool-boundary test slice. - Verified: launcher identity, source hashing, host/boot identity, expiry, capabilities, escape-battery receipt handling, and fixture regressions. - Still open: the Apocv4-specific root/receipt adapter and joined invocation/rollback proof. Recorded in [52_P0_APOCRYPHA_LPAC_REUSE_PROBE_2026-08-01.csl]([redacted:local-path]/source/repos/Apocv4/specs/evidence/52_P0_APOCRYPHA_LPAC_REUSE_PROBE_2026-08-01.csl). Commit: `d9ccea2`.

The launcher seam is correctly identified as a security boundary, so I’m not inserting a naïve subprocess wrapper. I’m advancing the next independent reuse-gap audit while preserving that boundary for a dedicated adapter implementation with proper receipt translation.

I advanced the active reuse audit instead of introducing an unsafe launcher shortcut.

Continuing from `c5eb354`; selecting the next uncovered R006 binding and recording its exact seam result.

“P0 execution … remain open” means the core execution path is not yet proven end-to-end: - **Admission oracle:** a deterministic decision proving a request is allowed to run. - **Durable reservation:** resources are reserved persistently, so competing work cannot take them. - **Exclusive lease:** one worker owns the reservation for a bounded period; expiry/recovery is defined. - **Source currency:** execution uses the current authoritative source/version, not stale or copied code. - **Workspace/output enforcement:** the runner cannot write outside its authorized workspace or emit untracked outputs. - **Launcher:** the validated component that actually starts the confined task/model/tool process. These are not merely paperwork. Without them, we could demonstrate isolated functions and tests, but not claim a reliable production execution loop. I am cutting corners where it is safe: bounded local probes, reuse of existing Apocrypha/Apocv4 seams, early stopping when evidence is decisive, parallel independent searches, and additive receipts instead of rebuilding systems. I will not “cut corners” by bypassing the security, provenance, lease, workspace, or authority boundaries; that would create a fast-looking system whose core claims are false or unsafe. The efficient path is therefore: 1. Implement the smallest local admission → reservation → lease → confined-launcher vertical slice. 2. Use fixture/local runtime evidence first. 3. Stop each test once its acceptance or falsifier is established. 4. Preserve failures as classified evidence. 5. Defer cloud/provider validation as you directed. 6. Promote only after the local end-to-end oracle passes. Current status remains: the P0 component tests pass, but the complete execution chain is not yet proven.

I’m continuing the active P0/R006 lane from the last committed checkpoint: I’ll select the next uncovered mechanism binding, verify its actual source seam, record the bounded result, and commit the receipt plus checkpoint.

The receipt is committed, but the shared index contained pre-staged deletions from earlier work and they were swept into the commit unintentionally. I’m immediately restoring those evidence files from the parent commit and isolating the correction, preserving the new receipt/checkpoint.

Progress made: - Audited the next uncovered R006 binding: `G-T05.M01-D11-261E6FE6D2F5`. - Verified that Apocv4 has: - a decode-control/evaluation contract, - D11 listed as a probe target, - decode metrics in the acceptance battery, - but no implemented runtime seam or matched efficacy receipt for speculative/MTP/EAGLE/Jacobi/parallel-candidate decoding. - Added the bounded gap receipt: [85_O0_R006_T05_M01_D11_GAP_SEARCH_2026-08-01.csl]([redacted:local-path]\source\repos\Apocv4\specs\evidence\85_O0_R006_T05_M01_D11_GAP_SEARCH_2026-08-01.csl) - Updated the checkpoint to `93` covered ADOPT bindings and `534` uncovered. - Commits: - `e263b69` — new D11 receipt/checkpoint - `fce10c3` — restored 22 prior evidence receipts that were accidentally swept into the first commit by pre-staged shared-index deletions. The objective remains active. R006 continues with the next uncovered binding; P0 execution gates remain open.

Continuing the next R006 binding from the latest checkpoint; I’ll preserve the denominator and add one bounded source-first receipt.

“P0 execution … remains open” means the system has not yet proven the minimum conditions required to safely launch real execution: - **Admission oracle:** a gate that decides whether a requested run is allowed. - **Durable reservation:** the selected GPU/workspace/output slot is reserved persistently. - **Exclusive lease:** no competing process can use or mutate that reserved slot. - **Source currency:** the run uses the intended, current source revision. - **Workspace/output enforcement:** execution cannot write outside authorized paths or omit required artifacts. - **Launcher:** a real, verified entrypoint that starts the governed run. So this is not “the model is unfinished.” It means the execution boundary is not yet trustworthy enough to claim a real launch. Yes, we should cut more corners—but only around non-load-bearing work. I’m applying this policy: - Skip the explicitly deferred R007 provider validation. - Stop transcript searches as soon as a source-grounded conclusion is sufficient. - Run independent checks concurrently where they do not share mutable state. - Reuse existing Apocrypha/Apocv3 mechanisms instead of redesigning them. - Implement the smallest P0 vertical slice first, then expand only when a failing probe demands it. - Preserve failures and unknowns; do not spend time polishing non-blocking documentation. - Use provisional local fixtures for fast iteration, while clearly labeling them as non-production evidence. The logical leap is acceptable for exploration and prototype selection. It is not acceptable for claiming that execution is authorized, isolated, reproducible, or production-ready. The efficient path is therefore: finish one minimal governed launcher slice, verify it end-to-end, then reuse it everywhere else.

I’m continuing the active execution lane. I’ll close the next bounded transcript gap, update the checkpoint and denominator, then move to the smallest P0 execution slice that can be verified end-to-end.

Progress made: - Added and committed the bounded R006 receipt for `G-T09.M06-D18-792FF1700609`. - Added and committed the paired D29 receipt for `G-T09.M06-D29-A3AFC55435FA`. - Updated the checkpoint: - `151` covered bindings - `476` uncovered - R007 remains explicitly deferred - Commits: - `54ef2c6` - `1dde299` I’m cutting corners by terminating each source search once the mechanism, existing seam, missing proof, countercase, and falsifier are established. I’m not spending time on deferred provider validation or speculative redesign. The P0 execution boundary is still the next load-bearing implementation target. I have not falsely marked it complete: the launcher and enforcement chain still require a verified minimal vertical slice before invocation can be trusted.

I’m moving from transcript closure into the load-bearing P0 seam now. I’ll inspect the existing admission, reservation, worktree, and attestation contracts, identify the smallest missing integration point, implement only that seam, and run the focused plus full verification before updating the plan.

Current verified state: - P0 focused tests: **48 passed, 73 subtests passed**. - Doctor: `integrity_ok=true`, `goal_ready=false`. - Existing admission, durable reservation, worktree preparation, source-currency, and LPAC attestation components are present and fail closed. - They intentionally stop before invocation; the missing seam is the governed integration that binds all of them without silently creating launcher authority. - Transcript progress remains **151/627 covered, 476 uncovered**; R007 remains skipped per your instruction. I’ve kept the P0 integration step active rather than declaring it complete. The next implementation target is the smallest non-authorizing binding between current attestation, source currency, reservation, and workspace enforcement; then I’ll verify it before any launcher work.

The existing P0 binding already cross-checks admission, durable reservation, worktree snapshot, and LPAC attestation, but it intentionally carries `atomic_source_currency_required`, `caller_environment_enforcement_required`, `output_workspace_enforcement_required`, and `launcher_absent` as hard blockers. I’m validating that boundary now instead of duplicating it with a second competing contract.

I verified the existing integration seam and did not duplicate it: - `ActivationBinding` already cross-binds admission, durable reservation, worktree snapshot, and LPAC attestation. - It correctly retains hard blockers for source currency, exclusive lease, environment/output enforcement, and launcher. - Focused P0 verification: **48 passed, 73 subtests passed**. - Doctor remains: `integrity_ok=true`, `goal_ready=false`. I started the repository-wide suite, but it exceeded the bounded interactive window and I stopped it rather than claim full-suite evidence. The verification step remains open; no completion or release authority was inferred.

I’m resuming verification with a bounded full-suite run, then I’ll use its actual result to decide whether the next work is implementation or evidence repair. I’ll keep the P0 boundary fail-closed while doing this.

Full verification now completed: - **212 tests passed** - **286 subtests passed** - Runtime: **74.46 seconds** - P0 focused checks remain green: **48 passed, 73 subtests** - Doctor remains `integrity_ok=true`, `goal_ready=false` The existing P0 integration seam is verified and remains correctly fail-closed. The remaining blockers are genuine execution-boundary requirements—not test failures: - current source-currency oracle - exclusive lease - environment/output/workspace enforcement - verified launcher No authority, spend, deployment, cutover, or release state was inferred.

Full verification is green, so I’m advancing the next load-bearing gap rather than rerunning tests. I’m checking whether source-currency enforcement can be added as a small explicit validator around the existing binding without changing the no-launch contract.

Implemented the next P0 seam and verified it. Added `require_source_currency_observation(...)` to bind a live source-currency observation to the expected source-root digest. It: - rejects wrong types, stale observations, and digest drift; - preserves the existing non-authorizing boundary; - does not clear launcher or other execution blockers; - returns an explicitly non-invocable observation. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Mypy: clean - Focused tests: **17 passed, 50 subtests** - Full suite: **214 passed, 286 subtests** - Commit: `70f844c` P0 remains fail-closed for the remaining lease, environment/output/workspace enforcement, and launcher gates.

I’m advancing the next P0 blocker: exclusive worktree lease enforcement. I’ll reuse the existing worktree broker and durable reservation contracts, add only the smallest explicit lease validator if the seam is absent, and verify it with focused plus full tests.

The next P0 inspection found that exclusive worktree leasing is not implemented as a distinct filesystem/process lease. Existing owner-generation and durable reservation checks are present, but they are not equivalent to an exclusive worktree lease. I did not add a speculative second lease system that could conflict with the durable identity layer. Current verified state remains: - Full suite: **214 passed, 286 subtests** - Source-currency binding: implemented and tested - Admission/reservation/worktree/attestation binding: present - Remaining genuine P0 gap: **exclusive worktree lease**, plus launcher and output/environment enforcement The goal remains active and fail-closed.

I’m taking the exclusive-lease gap as the next implementation target. I’ll first verify whether the durable identity store can serve as the lease authority with a narrow adapter; if so, I’ll add that adapter and adversarial tests rather than creating a parallel locking subsystem.

The durable identity journal cannot safely serve as a worktree lease authority without changing its schema and ownership semantics: it currently leases principal/effect records, not filesystem roots. Treating an effect reservation as a worktree lease would be a false equivalence. I therefore did not graft an unsafe adapter onto it. The remaining P0 lease work is now precisely scoped: - add a durable resource-lease record keyed by canonical worktree root; - acquire atomically with owner-generation binding; - reject competing owners and stale generations; - recover only dead owners; - bind the lease receipt into `ActivationBinding`; - test restart, collision, path drift, and release behavior. The existing source-currency binding and all prior tests remain intact.

I’m implementing the scoped durable worktree lease now as a separate resource journal, keeping principal/effect ownership untouched. The lease will be fail-closed, root-keyed, generation-bound, restart-persistent, and explicitly non-launching until later binding work consumes its receipt.

Implemented a durable exclusive worktree lease journal. Commit: `758e1ea` It provides: - canonical-root keyed leases; - persistent SQLite storage with full synchronous durability; - atomic acquisition; - collision refusal across owner generations and restarts; - owner-bound release; - canonical-path validation; - no launcher or invocation authority. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Mypy: clean - Lease tests: **2 passed** Important boundary: the lease journal now exists, but it is not yet bound into `ActivationBinding`; therefore the P0 exclusive-lease blocker remains until that receipt is cross-bound and verified with the other admission records.

The lease journal is in place. I’m adding the narrow cross-boundary validator now so a future activation path can require a held lease digest and owner-generation match without changing current constructor compatibility or granting invocation authority.

Added the lease-binding validator and corrected its verification boundary. Commit: `7224feb` The validator now checks: - lease is a held lease record; - owner-generation matches; - canonical worktree root matches; - lease digest is valid. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Focused lease/binding tests: **4 passed** Important limitation preserved: the validator checks a lease receipt; it does not independently query the journal. Therefore a later effect boundary must revalidate the live lease against `WorktreeLeaseJournal` before invocation. This remains intentionally non-authorizing.

I’m closing the remaining lease-validation weakness: adding a live journal revalidation method so a future effect boundary can prove the lease is still held, not merely trust an old receipt.

Closed the lease receipt-staleness gap. Added `WorktreeLeaseJournal.assert_held(...)`, which re-reads the durable journal and rejects: - released leases; - owner-generation drift; - digest drift; - missing lease rows. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Mypy: clean - Lease tests: **3 passed** - Commit: `a500141` The lease system is now durable, exclusive, owner-bound, and live-revalidated. It still remains non-authorizing until the future invocation boundary consumes this proof alongside admission, source currency, workspace, and output enforcement.

I’m moving to the next P0 gate: output/workspace enforcement. The existing confined-execution contracts already define budgets and allowed paths, so I’ll add the smallest runtime validator that proves an observed result stayed within those limits, without adding a launcher yet.

Implemented and verified the next P0 seam: post-run workspace/output validation. Added `validate_workspace_result(...)` to enforce: - output byte cap; - workspace file-count cap; - workspace total-byte cap; - allowed-path containment; - canonical worktree-root requirement. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Mypy: clean - Focused tests: **2 passed** - Full suite: **221 passed, 286 subtests** - Commit: `16b2d14` This is still a validator, not an enforcement launcher. The eventual effect boundary must invoke it against the live filesystem and separately handle symlink/reparse/path-race defenses before treating a run as accepted.

I’m tightening the workspace validator before touching launch: symlink/reparse entries must fail closed, not be silently skipped. This is a small correctness fix that directly protects the output/workspace gate.

Tightened the workspace/output gate. Change: symlink entries are now rejected with `workspace_link_not_allowed` instead of being silently skipped. Verification: - Ruff: clean - Workspace validator tests: **2 passed, 1 skipped** (symlink creation unavailable in that environment) - Commit: `2098ad9` The validator remains non-launching, but its path-integrity behavior is now fail-closed for links.
