* fix: harden agentctl bind, git clone args, and powershell sound escaping
Three LOW-severity defense-in-depth hardening fixes with PoC + regression tests:
- notifications: escapePowerShell now neutralizes backtick and `$` in addition
to `"`, defusing `$(...)` sub-expression and `$var` injection through an
operator-supplied SoundFile path interpolated into the powershell `-c` script.
- office/skills: git clone for git-sourced skills now passes a `--`
end-of-options separator before the source locator (matching configloader),
so a `-`-prefixed locator can never be parsed as a git flag.
- agentctl: new Config.ListenHost() binds the control server and per-instance
listeners to loopback only when no AuthToken is configured (auth disabled),
so the unauthenticated command/shell/process routes are never reachable
beyond localhost. The normal nonce-handshake flow (incl. Docker) always has
a token and keeps binding all interfaces.
* test: make PoC tests flip and drop indexOf coupling
Address review feedback on the security-hardening PoCs:
- system_provider PoC now demonstrates the PowerShell sub-expression injection
against a legacyEscapePowerShell copy of the unfixed function and asserts the
current escaper defuses it, so the PoC genuinely flips instead of passing
trivially against fixed code (a substring match on `$(` matched the escaped
form too).
- materialization PoC + regression test use stdlib slices.Index instead of a
custom indexOf defined in the PoC file, removing the coupling where deleting
the PoC file would break the regression test.

* fix(agentctl): read models/modes from configOptions fallback
claude-agent-acp v0.42 dropped the unstable `models` field from
session/new and publishes models only via `configOptions[]` with
category=model. The probe still relied on the legacy field, so
the inference-agents endpoint reported zero models and the UI
showed "Claude advertised no models."
Read the legacy fields first, then fall back to configOptions
when they are absent. Same fallback applied to modes for parity
with future agents.
* fix(agentctl): gate configOptions fallback on nil legacy field
Switch the fallback guard in `applySessionProbeFields` from
`len(out.Models) == 0` to `sessionResp.Models == nil` (same for
modes). A non-nil `Models` struct with an empty `AvailableModels`
slice is schema-valid: the legacy branch already stamps
`CurrentModelID`, and the previous guard would then fire the
configOptions fallback and overwrite it with a different source.
Adds `TestApplySessionProbeFields_LegacyEmptyModelsBlocksFallback`
covering the edge case.

* feat(diff): use stored base_branch for diff stats + per-task compare picker
Task-card additions/deletions and the Changes panel were computed against a
hardcoded origin/main → master priority list inside agentctl. For tasks
branched off a release/staging branch this inflated the counts by every
commit since the actual fork point, and the Changes panel grouped unrelated
files alongside the task's real work.
This wires the per-repo task_repositories.base_branch end-to-end into the
agentctl WorkspaceTracker so each repo's diff stats resolve against the
recorded base instead of the integration-branch fallback. A picker on the
Changes panel branch hover card lets the user change the base mid-task; the
new value is persisted via PATCH /tasks/:id/repositories/:repo_id, pushed
live to the running agentctl instance, and the session's cached
base_commit_sha is cleared so the commits panel + cumulative diff refetch
against the new base without a session restart.
Falls back to the existing origin/main → master list for legacy tasks
(empty base_branch) and to the branch tip when no merge-base exists with
HEAD (unrelated histories — local rebase backups, etc.) so the stats and
commits panels stay anchored on the same SHA in every failure mode.
* fix(agentctl): sanitize user-controlled base_branch refs before git exec
CodeQL flagged the picker's user-controlled base_branch payload reaching
exec.Command("git", ..., baseBranch) inside workspace_git_cmd.go as a
command-built-from-user-controlled-source vulnerability. A malicious caller
could smuggle a leading-"-" argument like "-upload-pack=..." that git
itself reinterprets as a flag, even though exec.Command keeps args
separate from the shell.
Adds an IsSafeGitRef sanitizer at every boundary the value crosses on its
way to git: the service write path, the agentctl HTTP handlers
(/workspace/base-branches, /git/log, /git/cumulative-diff), and
WorkspaceTracker.SetBaseBranch itself. Unsafe values are rejected at the
service tier and silently downgraded to the no-override fallback inside
agentctl so a misbehaving caller can't half-break the tracker.
* fix(diff): address PR review blockers and CI lint
- Split UpdateRepositoryBaseBranch into validate/load/apply helpers to drop
cyclomatic complexity below the cyclop limit that gated Run Backend Tests.
- Replace direct m.cfg.BaseBranches reads/writes with getBaseBranches /
setBaseBranches under a dedicated RWMutex. UpdateBaseBranches used to
write under repoTrackersMu while rescan + lazy-subpath callers read under
workspaceTrackersMu, leaving an unsynchronized data race on the map.
- Drop the false 'PR target is auto-wired' claim from the MCP tool
description — GitOperator.CreatePR takes baseBranch as an explicit arg
and never reads the tracker's value.
- Picker no-op guard now compares against currentBase instead of storedBase
so selecting the displayed fallback (legacy task before any picker
change) is treated as no-op instead of triggering a spurious save.
- HTTP handler now maps non-validation service errors to 500 instead of
400, classifying via the existing isValidationError helper plus the new
unsafe-git-ref message.
* fix(diff): regex-based ref sanitiser at every git subprocess sink
CodeQL kept flagging workspace_git_cmd.go:43 even after SetBaseBranch
rejected unsafe values — the taint tracker doesn't follow sanitised stores
through struct fields, so it still saw user input flowing into
exec.Command("git", ..., baseBranch).
Switches IsSafeGitRef to a single regex check (a pattern CodeQL recognises
as a sanitiser barrier) and adds SanitizeGitRef calls inline at every
agentctl call site that splices a user-controlled ref into a git arg:
- workspace_git_status.resolveStoredRef (before the rev-parse probes)
- workspace_git_status.computeBaseCommit (before merge-base/rev-parse)
- workspace_git_status.getAheadBehindCounts (before rev-list)
- agentctl/server/api/git.go runGitLogForRepo + handleGitCumulativeDiff
(before computeMergeBase/GetRevParse on the HTTP TargetBranch)
Behaviour is unchanged for valid refs — only narrows the allowlist (now
[A-Za-z0-9_./-]) so the sanitiser barrier is recognisable to static
analysis. SetBaseBranch's field-store sanitiser stays as defence in depth.
* fix(diff): transform sanitiser at every map read for CodeQL taint flow
CodeQL still flagged workspace_git_cmd.go:43 because:
- handleSetBaseBranches used an IsSafeGitRef bool guard before a verbatim
map[k] = v copy. CodeQL recognises regex-transforming sanitisers but not
bool-guarded passthroughs.
- lookupBaseBranch returned m.cfg.BaseBranches[k] verbatim. Even though
the map was sanitised on write, taint flow across map stores + field
stores loses the sanitised state in the analyser.
Switches both sites to the transforming SanitizeGitRef helper so every
read produces a freshly-sanitised value before it flows to a downstream
git argument. Behaviour is unchanged for valid refs.
* fix(diff): regex transformer sanitiser + guard live push from empty map
CodeQL still flagged the previous SanitizeGitRef because it returned the
input string unchanged on success — an identity passthrough that the taint
tracker doesn't recognise as a sanitiser barrier.
Switches to safeGitRefPattern.FindString so the output comes from the
regex match (not the parameter). IsSafeGitRef now wraps SanitizeGitRef so
the predicate and the transformer share one allowlist.
Also addresses two Claude review blockers:
- collectTaskBaseBranches returns a nil/empty map when the task has no
recorded base_branches; pushing that to agentctl wipes every tracker's
override. Now skipped — the DB row is the source of truth for the next
session launch.
- applyBaseBranchSideEffects now runs on context.WithoutCancel so an HTTP
/ WS request cancel after the task_repositories UPDATE commits can't
leave session.base_commit_sha stale + the live agentctl tracker map
un-pushed, drifting from the persisted row.
* fix(diff): share securityutil.IsValidBranchName + harden error classification
CodeQL still flagged the picker's regex sanitiser as taint passthrough.
Refactors SanitizeGitRef / isSafeBaseBranchRef to delegate to the existing
securityutil.IsValidBranchName helper that agentctl's Rebase / Merge /
RenameBranch already use without being flagged. The shared allowlist also
fixes a Claude review blocker: 'feature/@2024' used to pass the service
validator but get dropped by the agentctl-side check at push time,
silently wiping every tracker's override.
Plus the two error-classification blockers Claude raised on the previous
HEAD:
- WS handler (task_ws_handlers.go wsUpdateTaskRepository) now distinguishes
validation errors (surfaced verbatim) from internal faults (opaque
500-style message). HTTP path already did this via the existing
isValidationError helper.
- MCP handler (handlers.handleUpdateRepositoryBaseBranch) gets the same
treatment via a new isValidationError local to the mcp/handlers
package so raw service error strings stop leaking across the MCP
boundary.
* fix(diff): inline securityutil.IsValidBranchName at every git subprocess sink
CodeQL's interprocedural taint tracking wasn't recognising SanitizeGitRef
as a sanitiser even after it delegated to securityutil.IsValidBranchName
— the wrapper helper + map/field hops between source and sink kept the
flow tainted in the analyser.
Inlines the IsValidBranchName allowlist check (already used inline by
Rebase/Merge in git.go without being flagged) at every call site that
splices a user-controlled ref into a git subprocess argument:
- workspace_git_status.resolveStoredRef (before rev-parse --verify)
- workspace_git_status.computeBaseCommit (before merge-base / rev-parse)
- workspace_git_status.getAheadBehindCounts (before rev-list)
- agentctl/server/api/git.go runGitLogForRepo + handleGitCumulativeDiff
- agentctl/server/api/workspace_base_branches.go handleSetBaseBranches
Behaviour unchanged: same allowlist as Rebase / Merge / RenameBranch
already use. SanitizeGitRef / IsSafeGitRef survive as defence-in-depth
helpers for callers that want a one-line check; they delegate to the same
securityutil helper so the rules stay aligned.
* fix(diff): inline regexp.MatchString at every git subprocess sink
CodeQL still flagged workspace_git_cmd.go:43 even with the inline
securityutil.IsValidBranchName helper — the taint tracker apparently does
not follow into helper functions for the go/command-injection rule on
this path.
Hoists the regex to package-scope vars (safeBranchRefPattern in both
process and api packages) and calls regexp.MatchString directly at each
sink site. Behaviour is identical to securityutil.IsValidBranchName; only
the call form changes.
* fix(diff): SHA-shape allowlist on BaseCommit before downstream git diff
CodeQL still flagged workspace_git_cmd.go:43 because update.BaseCommit
is the OUTPUT of an earlier merge-base / rev-parse call whose argument
list contained a user-controlled branch ref — the analyser treats that
command's output as still tainted even when the input ref was sanitised.
Adds an inline 40-hex SHA-shape allowlist check in enrichWithBranchDiff
right before `git diff --numstat <update.BaseCommit>` so the sanitiser
barrier sits in the same function as the next subprocess call. Behaviour
is unchanged: merge-base / rev-parse already produce SHA-shaped output.
* fix(diff): async tracker refresh + tighten init spread order
Two CodeRabbit/Claude review fixes:
- UpdateBaseBranches stamps each tracker's new baseBranch synchronously
then runs RefreshGitStatus on a background goroutine instead of inside
the picker-save HTTP handler. Per-tracker git subprocesses can each
take ~3-5 calls; serialising them on the request goroutine made the
PATCH response wait for every refresh to finish. The picker UI re-fetches
via the existing WS stream once Refresh emits, so the handler doesn't
need to block.
- updateTaskRepositoryBaseBranch now spreads options.init BEFORE the
required method/body fields so an upstream caller's init overrides
can't replace the PATCH method or the base_branch payload. Matches
the convention deleteTask / moveTask already follow.
* fix(diff): narrow mcp isValidationError + opaque 500 + post-sanitize log count
Three final Claude review threads on the latest commit:
- mcp/handlers isValidationError drops the broad 'invalid' substring so
DB / IO errors whose messages happen to contain 'invalid' don't
misclassify as ErrorCodeValidation.
- task_http_handlers httpUpdateTaskRepository now logs the raw service
error server-side and returns an opaque 'failed to update task
repository' on the 500 path. Stops potential DB / IO detail leakage
through the HTTP boundary.
- workspace_base_branches debug log reports accepted + rejected counts
(post-sanitisation) instead of the pre-filter total so the metric
actually reflects what hit UpdateBaseBranches.
