AIOSAI a777251ab7 fix(skills): bypass telegram ported-but-unwired fns (seedgo-audit) + document

DPLAN-0218 pulled telegram into the seedgo gate, surfacing 16 unused_function
flags across 8 handlers. They are ported-but-unwired (S249), not dead — pending
DPLAN-0220 wiring. Added name-scoped unused_function bypasses citing DPLAN-0220,
documented each in SKILL.md -> Ported-but-unwired (remove bypass as wired).
@skills 100%.

[2026-06-25]

Added

Prax monitor → Telegram relay (prax_monitor bot) — the live drone @prax monitor run Mission-Control feed now mirrors to a dedicated Telegram bot, so the whole-system monitor is watchable from a phone ("same monitor, different window"). New monitoring/telegram_relay.py taps the single render seam (_render_event), buffers events, and flushes every 5s (4000-char split, 150-line flood cap, disable_notification); fail-silent-once when unconfigured. Gated behind --relay / AIPASS_PRAX_MONITOR_RELAY=1 so a local monitor run stays console-only (no double-send). Bot config (token + chat_id) loads from the @api secret telegram/prax_monitor. Ships a reboot-survivable prax-monitor.service user unit. 937 prax tests green (31 new). (DPLAN-0221)
Self-documenting .trinity state-tabs — each memory-file section (todos / key_learnings / sessions / observations) now carries a config-sourced ⟦ rollover ON/OFF · keep N · ≤chars ⟧ tab rendered directly above it, so an agent editing a section sees its rollover state and character cap at the edit point (stops over-limit writes). Values are generated from memory.config.json (single source of truth) via @memory's new render_all_meta_tabs() / tab_renderer.py; @memory's spawn_pusher carries the {{*_META}} placeholders into @spawn's branch templates, and @spawn resolves them at create (build_replacements_dict, fail-loud on missing keys) so new branches auto-populate. refresh_all_tabs keeps live branches synced; @memory README documents the system. (FPLAN-0285, FPLAN-0286)

Changed

Todo management — delete-on-done discipline — todos[] are operational and exempt from rollover (confirmed; the vestigial todos entry was removed from memory.config.json rollover defaults). Because rollover never trims them, finished todos must be deleted, not left as status: done (which pile up and resurface as "open" across sessions). /prep and /memo (Claude
- Codex) and the CLAUDE.md startup protocol now codify: delete each todo when done (proof → session entry), reconcile on load. (FPLAN-0285)

Fixed

seedgo-audit — telegram ported-but-unwired functions — the DPLAN-0218 relocation pulled the telegram lib into the seedgo gate's scope, surfacing 16 unused_function flags across 8 handler files. These are not dead code — they're ported-but-unwired from the ~9k-line Dev-Pass port (S249), awaiting DPLAN-0220 wiring (on_response hooks, response_router, tmux session mgmt, file up/download, multi-bot, config helpers). Added name-scoped unused_function bypasses in skills/.seedgo/bypass.json (the existing mechanism), each citing DPLAN-0220, and documented every one in SKILL.md → Ported-but-unwired with a "remove the bypass as you wire each fn" note. @skills back to 100%.
seedgo-audit — @spawn direct JSON read — core.py adopt-path read a passport via json.loads(path.read_text()) (direct file op), failing the json_handler standard and the CI seedgo-audit gate. Switched to json_handler.read_json() (the same pattern used a few lines above), dropping the now-unused import json as _json. @spawn back to 100%; 315 spawn tests green.
Windows CI — telegram bot_registry crashed test collection — the module did a bare import fcntl (POSIX-only), so on Windows all 8 telegram test modules that transitively import it failed at collection with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fcntl', reddening Windows Test on the last several PRs. Guarded the import (try/except ImportError → fcntl = None, the established hooks/daemon convention) and routed the three flock call-sites through no-op-on-Windows _lock/_unlock helpers — advisory locking still applies on POSIX, is skipped where unavailable. Fixing collection then unmasked three telegram tests that had never actually run on Windows, all test-portability bugs (not product bugs): a log-streamer byte-count broke on CRLF translation (fixture now writes newline=""); a registry write-failure test used the Unix-only /proc path (now a cross-platform file-as-directory parent); and validate_bot_config rejected valid POSIX work_dirs on Windows because Path.is_absolute() is host-dependent (now tests POSIX and Windows absoluteness). 493 telegram tests green.
prax-monitor service feedback loop — the unit wrote its own stdout into system_logs/, the very directory the monitor tails and @trigger watches, creating a self-reinforcing loop (monitor output → re-tailed and recorded by @trigger into trigger_data.json → reported as a file change → more output). Moved the service log to ~/.aipass/ to break the cycle. Also corrected the ExecStart to monitor run (relay enabled via env) — the module __main__ rejects the drone-style run all --relay argument form. (DPLAN-0221)

[2026-06-24]

Changed

Skill library relocated to src/aipass/skills/lib/ — first-party skills were split across catalog/ (built-in, cross-branch) and .aipass/skills/ (the branch-prompt dir, cwd-relative). Renamed catalog/→lib/, moved the telegram skill in, archived three orphan test-fixture skills, and retired .aipass/skills/ from the branch. This unifies all 6 first-party skills under one built-in tier and fixes the telegram skill not being discoverable from other branches (it sat in a cwd-relative path). The public discovery convention (.aipass/skills/ + ~/.aipass/skills/) is unchanged. One functional line changed (discovery_handler built-in path); telegram's test conftest path-depth, the systemd .service ExecStart, and seedgo bypass + test paths were updated to match. Packaging, imports, and gitignore are unaffected (everything stays under src/aipass/). 252/252 skills tests green; cross-branch discovery verified from another branch. Moving telegram into the gate's scope newly surfaced 9 pre-existing unused_function flags in its handlers — triage tracked separately. (DPLAN-0218)

Added

@api in-process set_secret write-door — aipass.api.apps.modules.secrets.set_secret(provider, slug, value, *, as_json=False) mirrors the existing get_secret, writing ~/.secrets/aipass/<provider>/<slug>.json (dirs 0o700, files 0o600, value never echoed to stdout or logged). The @api secrets store was previously read-only; this is the writer the telegram mother-bot needs to persist a newly-created bot's config so the child can read its token. 515 @api tests pass (11 new), @api seedgo 100%. (DPLAN-0220)
Prax-monitor v1 on Telegram — /monitor system-wide log subscription — the old Dev-Pass "prax monitor bot" (a @prax push relay on a dedicated token) was stripped during the port; this revives the capability as a feature of the existing @aipass bot (no second bot, no new credential). New /monitor on (errors+warnings) / all (firehose) / off / status command on base_bot, shown in the slash menu + /help. The subscribed chat is persisted to the @api store (set_secret('telegram','monitor',{chat_id,mode})) so it survives restart, and base_bot boot-starts the stream from it on startup — set-and-forget under systemd. LogStreamer gained system_wide (glob all system_logs/*.log, not one branch) + level_filter (default keeps WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL, all = passthrough); _init_positions still seeks EOF so subscribing never floods history. 33 new tests (test_monitor.py), telegram suite 493/493, skills 252/252, @skills seedgo 98%. (First @skills run crashed mid-edit on 3 string-handling syntax errors; continued + fixed.) The richer AS-WAS @prax event-feed relay (rendered Mission-Control stream, needs a dedicated-bot-token decision) is tracked as Route B. (DPLAN-0221)

Fixed

Telegram port — wave 1 (persistence + monitor + state hygiene), surfaced by a full completeness audit against TELEGRAM_PORT_MAP.md (366 tags, ~83% ported, 452/452 tests green): (1) bot launch — bot_factory.start_bot_process and telegram-bot@.service used a non-existent ~/.venv/bin/python3; now launch via sys.executable -m …base_bot (added lib/__init__.py + lib/telegram/__init__.py for package resolution, since base_bot uses relative imports). (2) reboot survival — enable_service now installs the systemd unit to ~/.config/systemd/user/ + daemon-reload (previously the unit was never installed, so enable silently no-op'd). (3) state hygiene — gitignored skills/.../lib/telegram/.local/ so the runtime registry/offset/lock files stop leaking into the repo. (4) prax-monitor — log_streamer tailed a hardcoded ~/system_logs while prax writes to the repo-root system_logs; now resolves the repo root (honoring AIPASS_TEST_LOG_DIR) so the log stream actually delivers. (5) auto-create (GAP1) — create_bot wrote a new bot's config only to a disk shadow file while the runtime loads its token exclusively from the @api store, so a minted bot started then exited with no config; create_bot now calls set_secret('telegram', bot_id, config, as_json=True) (fail-loud) so the create→@api→load round-trip works and the mother-bot can mint startable bots. New round-trip + fail-loud tests; telegram suite 454/454. (6) /help + Telegram command menu — setMyCommands only ran inside create_bot, so hand-launched bots (like the live @aipass) had no slash-menu, and the menu list had drifted from /help; base_bot now sets its menu on startup from a single source (build_botfather_commands, also used by create_bot — DEFAULT_BOT_COMMANDS retired), so the Telegram menu and /help list the same enriched commands incl. /create//cancel. Wiring the builder (rather than deleting it as "dead") also lifted Unused_Function 92→93%. 6 new tests, telegram suite 460/460. (A running bot needs a restart to pick up the startup menu.) (DPLAN-0220)
Telegram @aipass deployed under systemd (reboot survival + clean lifecycle) — the live mother-bot was a hand-launched foreground process: no reboot survival, and stop_bot/restart targeted an uninstalled telegram-bot@base unit, so there was no working lifecycle command. Installed the user service + enable --now + loginctl enable-linger (Linger=yes); the 17:26 startup log confirms the full chain live — Telegram API OK, Command menu set (6 commands) (the new /help menu), stale-lock cleanup, poll loop, tmux Claude session preserved, NRestarts=0. Also corrected the ported unit's StandardOutput/StandardError, which pointed at a non-existent ~/system_logs (would have crash-looped the service) — now <repo>/system_logs, matching where the app already logs. Restart is now systemctl --user restart telegram-bot@base. (DPLAN-0220)
seedgo CLI help checkers green-lit non-compliant --help output — the cli/help_text/introspection standards are static source scans (they confirm a print_help function, console.print, and --help wiring exist) but never execute --help, so a module could score 100% while rendering raw argparse. @ai_mail did exactly that via console.print(parser.format_help()), laundering argparse's plain text through the approved console API and dodging the existing parser.print_help() ban. Closed the loophole: cli_check now flags .format_help(), cli.md/cli_content.py name it alongside print_help(), +2 regression tests. Also rewrote @ai_mail's print_help() to render hand-rolled Rich (the --help content was complete, just unstyled). A behavioral --help check (run it, assert not raw argparse) is noted as a follow-up. (DPLAN-0217) On its first CI run the tightened checker immediately surfaced the same pattern in 4 @api modules (api_key, usage_tracker, google_client, openrouter_client) — migrated to Rich, @api back to 100%.
seedgo readme_check ignored the (disabled) marker in self-scans — its module-list and test-count scans now skip foo(disabled).py, matching the central audit collector. An in-place disabled module no longer trips a false "missing module" violation; disabled test files no longer inflate README test counts (td-103).
seedgo unused_function bypasses are now name-scoped — bypasses match by function name (functions: [...]) instead of line number (lines: [...]), which drifted silently when code shifted and re-flagged exempted functions (bit us S216/S217). lines stays supported for other standards. Migrated the 10 existing line-scoped entries across drone/memory/skills and dropped 3 dead entries already pointing past EOF (td-009).
Dispatch footer no longer tells workers to close the orchestrator's plan — the standard email footer's checklist item read CLOSE FPLAN → drone @flow close <plan_id>, which led dispatched agents to close the master/parent plan referenced in their brief (bit us in FPLAN-0260). Reworded to CLOSE YOUR PLAN → ... this task's plan only, never the master/parent — a worker still closes the sub-plan handed to it, but the master stays the orchestrator's to close on completion (td-6).

Changed

Backup .backupignore default moved out of code into a template file — the seed content backup writes into a new project's .backupignore now lives in backup/templates/backupignore.template (loaded at register), matching the AIPass convention that templates are data files, not hardcoded Python. Retired the BUILTIN_IGNORES list; _build_backupignore() reads the template and raises if it's missing — never silently empty, since an empty .backupignore would back up everything and crash. Docs/comments repointed to the template (td-30).

Removed

Dead bulletin_created trigger handler — the event handler that wrote a bulletin_board section into every branch dashboard is retired: nothing fired the event, its BULLETINS.central.json store no longer exists, and prax already prunes bulletin_board as a deprecated section. Archived + unwired from the event registry; prax's pruning stays (td-102).
Dead backup/run/ test dir — leftover from an ad-hoc backup test run (only its generated .backupignore had been tracked); removed (td-218).

Documentation

Backup docs corrected — .backup/ is now documented as a shared runtime namespace (@backup stores + @memory rollover safety copies + @flow plan archive), not @backup-exclusive. @backup's README gained full command coverage, the .backup/ store layout, and a .backupignore ("gitignore for backups") section; its branch prompt's stale .backup_system/ / drive_test.py names were fixed. Root README lists @backup and documents .backupignore; the navmap was corrected. The shipped root /.backupignore was realigned to BUILTIN_IGNORES (dropped stale .backup_system/ + over-broad *logs). @memory and @flow READMEs now cross-reference their .backup/ writes, and the orphaned prax/.backupignore (a stale per-branch config) was removed.
Root README agent roster brought current — added the three missing agents (@daemon, @skills, @commons) to the tree and tables, and normalized the agent count to 17 everywhere (was an inconsistent mix of "13" and "14"). @daemon joins Quality & operations; a new "Capabilities and community" group covers @skills + @commons (td-28).
/prep now reconciles todos against reality — the session-wrap command (both the Claude .claude/commands/prep.md and the Codex skill mirror) gained a step to audit every open todo against the actual system (ls/find/git ls-files/grep/audit) and close what's verifiably done — catching todos finished in a past session but never closed.
Backup ignore architecture documented — confirmed and written down the two-layer model so it stops getting re-discovered: BUILTIN_IGNORES is the seed that generates a new project's .backupignore at register and is never consulted at backup time; .backupignore (via load_spec) is the runtime source of truth. There's no static fallback, so the seed is safety-critical — an empty .backupignore backs up everything and can crash the machine. Added a "How Ignores Work" README section + code comments on BUILTIN_IGNORES and load_spec. Also added logs/ to the seed so new projects exclude log directories (e.g. prax .jsonl output) by default, not just *.log files (td-27).

[2026-06-23]

The 2.6.0 release — a large dev → main merge spanning several weeks (68 commits). Headline changes below; the granular per-merge history is in the dated sections that follow.

Added

Compass v2 — devpulse-owned SQLite/FTS5 rated-decision engine + /compass human-triggered capture (separate from @memory; DB gitignored).
Decentralized daemon scheduler — each branch owns .daemon/schedule.json; the daemon discovers and fires.
Telegram skill — the Dev-Pass bridge ported to a self-contained AIPass skill that consumes services as opt-in imports.
Tiered prompt injection — Tier 0 kernel every turn + Tier 1 navmap by cadence, replacing the single always-on global prompt.
seedgo HARDCODED_PATH standard (#37) — flags hardcoded home paths in source and docstrings.

Changed

@backup fully restored — aipass.backup.* namespace, 9-stage Rich CLI, versioned baseline + per-file diff engine, Google Drive sync + restore.
Memory subsystem unified — single-source config limits, char-limit edit-gate, unified entry schema, rollover safety + the silent-rollover repair.
Legacy global prompt retired across every runtime — Claude (cadence) and Codex (SessionStart) read the same tier files.
@daemon / @commons / @skills revived to working citizens.
Public source genericized — Patrick → user (private memories stay gitignored).

Fixed

Secrets hardening — no secret value reaches stdout (cleared CodeQL #86-88, py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data).
Memory rollover was silently dead — the PreCompact hook now delegates to drone @memory rollover; the v1 line-count / 600-line fallback removed entirely.
Hardcoded home paths removed (seedgo #37). @memory symbolic.py builds its 8 dash-encoded branch-path names at runtime (was a literal -home-patrick-); @prax branch_detector.py docstrings genericized. Both back to 100% Hardcoded_Path.
Green-CI fixes across Linux / Windows / macOS; dispatch_monitor PID-429 substring bug; git post-merge friction (FF-only realign).

[2026-06-19]

Fixed

aipass init now seeds the tiered prompts to new projects (@aipass). The init template + bootstrap still handed new projects the retired global prompt with no tiers; now .aipass/project_hooks.json mirrors the live wiring (tier0_kernel + navmap enabled, global_prompt disabled) and bootstrap.py seeds both tier .md files. init update backfills existing projects. (77 bootstrap tests, 100% seedgo.)
Cadence reset observability (@hooks). reset_counter() silently no-op'd when the Claude session id was absent; it now fails loud, logs the session id + prior turn on each reset, falls back to hook data for the id, and handles a corrupt state file. (The post-compaction counter reset was already working — this makes it visible so it can't fail invisibly.)
Memory rollover was silently dead — fixed end-to-end (@hooks + @memory). The PreCompact rollover hook read its limits from .trinity file metadata, but DPLAN-0210 had moved limits into @memory's memory.config.json — so the hook always fell back to a 600-line check the lean files never reached, and rollover never fired (for weeks). The hook is now a thin trigger delegating to drone @memory rollover check/run; compact.py reads the current list schema (it was calling .keys() on a now-list key_learnings). Both fail loud instead of a silent exit-0.
Removed @memory's v1 line-count / 600-line silent fallback entirely. The detector + extractor are now v2-only (per_branch → defaults → warn-and-skip); a parse failure logs loud and skips rather than silently falling back. Deleted _get_max_lines / _load_config / _detect_growing_array / the line-count extraction path. (959 tests.)

Removed

Legacy global prompt fully retired across every runtime (DPLAN-0215). After the tiered cutover the old global_prompt is now gone, not just disabled: global_loader.py + its tests deleted, the global_prompt block stripped from .aipass/hooks.json + project_hooks.json, _resolve_global_prompt + all global seeding removed from aipass init bootstrap/update, the cadence default + bypass entries cleaned, and both aipass_global_prompt.md / project_global_prompt.md archived. Claude (cadence) and Codex (SessionStart) now read the same tier files — one prompt source, every runtime.

Added

seedgo HARDCODED_PATH standard (#37). A new checker (hardcoded_path_check.py
- hardcoded_path_content.py, test_checkers_batch10.py) flags hardcoded home paths — /home/<user> and dash-encoded -home-<user>- — in source and docstrings, keeping the public repo clean.

[2026-06-18]

Changed

Prompt injection is now tiered by cadence instead of one 8k always-on block (FPLAN-0284 / DPLAN-0214). The single global prompt is split into two cadence-throttled tiers: Tier 0 (.aipass/tier0_kernel.md, ~2k) injects every turn — identity grounding, the drone @agent --help reflex, and the disaster-preventer rules; Tier 1 (.aipass/tier1_navmap.md, ~7.7k) injects every 5th turn plus at session start and right after compaction — the full agent roster, framework, conventions, and a new Terminology section. The hook engine gained per-loader cadence periods; the old global_prompt loader is retired (kept as a reference snapshot). Net: more navigation context reaches agents while less is paid per turn. Fresh-clone wiring is seeded from cadence.py defaults + setup.sh + provider_manifest.json.
Public source genericized — Patrick → generic user. No personal identifiers in tracked code/docs: the compass decision-source enum (patrick → user) + the /compass command, the devpulse local prompt, the aipass init onboarding example (--name Patrick → --name YourName), and stale refs across @ai_mail / @backup / @flow. Private memories (.trinity/, compass DB) keep personal context — they're gitignored.
Telegram skill genericized (@skills). Retired the inactive patrick_private personal bot from the skill's tests; the message sender now defaults to the Telegram user's first name (fallback User) instead of a hardcoded Patrick.

Added

Prompt-craft conventions harvested from Claude Code's own prompts (DPLAN-0213). A Writing voice section in .aipass/PROMPT_STYLE.md (file_path:line refs, write-for-a-person, three-tier "where detail lives"); a blast-radius habit in the devpulse prompt; faithful-reporting + no-gold-plating folded into the Tier 0 kernel.
Skill frontmatter discipline (@skills). A when_to_use field with trigger phrases (surfaced during discovery scans) and per-step "Done when:" success criteria across the SKILL.md templates.
HARDCODED_PATH standard (@seedgo, 37th checker). Flags absolute home-dir literals in source — POSIX /home/<user>/, macOS /Users/<user>/, Windows user-home paths, and Claude Code's dash-encoded -home-<user>- form — with a bypass for legitimate test fixtures. Swept the repo for violations.
prompt_change flow playbook (PPLAN template). A reusable SOP for changing any injected prompt — leads with "live ≠ seeded" and walks every wiring layer + fresh-install seed path; born from the aipass init seeding gap this surfaced.

[2026-06-16]

Security

Secrets door hardened — no raw secret value ever reaches stdout (DPLAN-0211). @api get-secret previously printed retrieved secret values to stdout — an acute exposure in AIPass because Claude Code captures command stdout into the model context. The command now emits a masked summary by default (provider/slug: set (N chars)), writes the raw value only to a 0600-mode file via --out FILE (printing just the path), and --list prints slug names only. The telegram skill — the sole consumer — was rewired from subprocess-parsing get-secret stdout to the in-process secrets module API. Clears CodeQL clear-text-logging alerts #86/#87/#88.

Fixed

@ai_mail dispatch monitor mislabeled failures as "API rate limit" on a PID-429 collision. The monitor classifies dispatch failures by substring-scanning the stderr log for "429"/"529", but that log includes the monitor's own header line (PID <pid>). A monitor PID containing "429" (e.g. 14290) was read as an HTTP 429, overwriting the real bounce reason (e.g. sandbox-abort -4) with "API rate limit" — and flaking test_sandbox_failure_sends_bounce deterministically-by-PID in CI. The scan now excludes the monitor's own --- framing lines; genuine 429/529 markers in agent output are still detected.

[2026-06-15]

Added

Telegram bridge ported into AIPass as a self-contained skill (FPLAN-0277). The Dev-Pass Telegram bridge (multi-bot long-poll listener → tmux Claude injection → Stop-hook reply) is ported AS-WAS into a self-contained telegram skill that consumes AIPass services instead of bespoke wiring: secrets via the new @api get-secret, logging via @prax, and the outbound Stop hook registered through the @hooks engine. Three phases — P1 @api adds get-secret <provider/slug> [--json|--list] + auth/secrets.py (reads ~/.secrets/aipass/); P2 @skills ports the 14-file bridge (~5,300 lines)
- ~424 tests into .aipass/skills/telegram/, rewiring every seam to services; P3 @hooks ports telegram_response.py (the reply path, with the 3-layer SubagentStop/sidechain/transcript-cursor defense intact) and registers it on the Stop event. A 366-tag completeness map (TELEGRAM_PORT_MAP.md) audited the port: 288 verified, 23 gaps (top gap — a missing test log-isolation fixture — now fixed), 55 deferred to a live round-trip. Live bring-up (real bot creds, systemd install, telethon auth, message round-trip) is still pending.

[2026-06-13]

Changed

Unified memory entry schema — Phase 1 (DPLAN-0207). All four .trinity entry types (key_learnings, sessions, todos, observations) move to one shape: numbered + dated, list-shaped, newest-first. key_learnings converts from a dict to a numbered list; the rollover extractor now trims the oldest by number from the tail, and the schema normalizer self-heals ordering by re-sorting on number — so an out-of-order write can never archive a fresh entry (the bug surfaced in S229, where rollover ate the newest key_learning instead of the oldest). Backward-compatible: un-migrated dict-shaped key_learnings skip cleanly, no crash. All 17 branches migrated to schema_version 3.0.0 (reversible per-file backups, no data loss). A follow-up made the rollover detector and the learnings manager (used by rollover + symbolic) list-aware — a live rollover check caught they still counted key_learnings as a dict, so an at-cap list was invisible to the detector (the 955 unit tests stayed green because none counted a list). 960 tests; seedgo 99% (1 pre-existing unused-function on an unwired manager API). Remaining: /memo+/prep and @spawn template updates.
Memory config relocated to the json-home and unified behind one self-healing loader (FPLAN-0271). memory.config.json moved from the loose tracked config/ dir into the gitignored memory_json/custom_config/ (operator-tunable, fast-access) and .plans_processed.json into memory_json/ root; the empty config/ dir was removed. The config was previously read by 9 separate loaders, each carrying its own disagreeing defaults (8 divergence classes — incl. the headline bug where a missing config silently flipped entry_limits.enforce off, plus rollover defaulting to 600 vs the configured 500). All 9 now read through one apps/handlers/json/config_loader.py with a single DEFAULT_CONFIG + non-mutating deep-merge + self-heal: a missing file is rewritten from code defaults (warn-first enforce: false), while malformed JSON fails loud and is never overwritten. Dead intake section deleted; a static _meta block in DEFAULT_CONFIG documents each section's consumer files. Code-as-Template: the on-disk file is local tuning, code carries the committed defaults — same model as hooks cadence_config.json. Verified: 949 memory tests green, seedgo @memory 100%, live self-heal / malformed-no-clobber / edit_gate checks pass. Design: DPLAN-0206. Follow-up parked: issue #643 (codify custom_config/ as a seedgo standard).

[2026-06-12]

Changed

Devpulse dashboard slimmed — todos no longer duplicated (startup-context fix). DASHBOARD.local.json was embedding the full todos[] bodies that already live in .trinity/local.json; since both files are read at every startup, that was pure duplication. The dashboard now emits todo_count only (the glance value) — the bodies are commented out in the prax devpulse_dashboard plugin's todo_section.py (revivable). Dashboard DASHBOARD.local.json 6.8 KB → 3.0 KB. Devpulse-only (plugin, not templated). Verified: seedgo 100%, 17/17 plugin tests.
Deprecated dashboard sections are now actually pruned on refresh. bulletin_board (and the other entries in prax's DEPRECATED_SECTIONS: devpulse, commons_activity, agent_status, memory_bank) were listed as deprecated but only excluded from template pushes — they lingered in every branch's live DASHBOARD.local.json. Added _prune_deprecated_sections() to the prax dashboard refresh path (reusing the single DEPRECATED_SECTIONS constant), so a refresh strips them. Verified: bulletin_board removed from the devpulse dashboard; 116/116 prax tests, seedgo 100%. (Follow-up: @trigger still has a bulletin_created writer to retire separately.)
Dashboard slimmed to a lean glance — removed duplicated/dead sections. Dropped three sections from the devpulse dashboard: session (broken since May — read keys id/d/sum vs the actual session/date/summary, so it always wrote empty strings — and it duplicated local.json, which loads at startup), todo (carried only todo_count, already in quick_status; now sourced directly from local.json), and ai_mail (its counts live in quick_status; the section is removed from output after quick_status is computed from it). End state: 4 sections (flow, memory, git, dispatch)
- the quick_status glance. session_section.py/todo_section.py archived (not deleted). DASHBOARD.local.json overall 6.8 KB → 2.4 KB. Verified: seedgo 100%, 108 prax tests. (Follow-up: @ai_mail's dashboard_sync.py section writer to retire separately.)
quick_status now self-sources mail counts from inbox.json. Decouples the glance from the ai_mail section: prax's three quick_status calculators read .ai_mail.local/inbox.json directly (_read_mail_counts) for new_mail/ opened_mail, so the ai_mail section is no longer a data dependency and can be retired. 116 prax tests, seedgo 100%.
Retired @ai_mail's dashboard section writer (completes the dashboard slim). ai_mail no longer writes to the dashboard — removed push_dashboard_update from 5 call sites and archived dashboard_sync.py. With prax self-sourcing mail counts, the ai_mail section now stays gone (a mail op no longer re-adds it — verified). 737 ai_mail tests.
.backupignore is now a true .gitignore for the backup system — a single source of truth (FPLAN-0269). Replaced the hand-rolled fnmatch+part-loop matcher (which broke leading-slash anchoring, *-crossing-/, dir-only foo/, ! negation, and last-match-wins) with the pathspec gitwildmatch library, so .backupignore honors full gitignore semantics: include-by-default, ! negation, # comments, anchoring, dir-only, last-match-wins. BUILTIN_IGNORES is demoted to a seed-only default (written when the file is absent, never merged at runtime), and the separate IGNORE_EXCEPTIONS/is_exception layer is removed (exceptions are native ! lines). Snapshot, versioned, all, and mirror-cleanup now all obey the one file. .ruff_cache/ + .coverage added to the default. pathspec (pure-Python, cross-OS) declared. Verified by artifact (seedgo 100%, 220 tests incl. 26 new gitignore-parity tests) + live (a dotfile flows into the store, ! negation re-includes end-to-end).
Backup store dir renamed .backup_system/ → .backup/, dead versions/ removed (FPLAN-0269 follow-up). The backup root is now .backup/ (shorter, coexists with @flow's .backup/processed_plans/); the orphaned per-timestamp versions/ scaffold and the unused build_versioned_path() — both superseded by the Phase-3 versioned/ baseline+diff store — are gone. Drive sync confirmed reading .backup/versioned/ + .backup/drive_tracker.json via the shared backup_root(). Verified by artifact (seedgo 100%, 220 tests) + live (a throwaway project writes to .backup/, no versions/ dir).

Fixed

Backup Drive sync no longer silently drops 41% of files — including the memories (FPLAN-0269). Removed a foreign dotfile-skip in drive_sync.py that excluded every dotted path (.trinity/ memories, .chroma/ vectors, .aipass/ prompts, .ai_mail.local/ mailboxes — 4558 files) from the offsite Google Drive copy while the local snapshot/versioned kept them. Drive now uploads the full versioned store (already exactly the .backupignore-filtered set). Added a Drive-sync output panel matching the Snapshot/Versioned stages (header, progress, stats, Duration | Location).

Added

Backup Google Drive sync pipeline + restore command (FPLAN-0268, Phase 4 of FPLAN-0264 — final). Faithful port of GOLD's GoogleDriveSync against the live @api gateway (get_drive_service + api_call_with_retry — never the console-OAuth path). New handlers/drive/: DriveClient (folder hierarchy AIPass Backups/<project>/, thread-safe cache, retry-with-rebuild), upload.py (resumable MediaFileUpload, 3 threaded workers), tracker.py (mtime+size dedup → no re-upload of unchanged files), test.py (connectivity). All four drive_* modules un-stubbed; all now runs snapshot→versioned→ drive-sync and fails honestly if Drive creds are absent (never silent-skips, never fakes success, snapshot+versioned still report). New restore command (restore <project> list <file> / restore <project> file <file> <out>) exposing the Phase-3 baseline+diff restore engine. Drive tests fully mocked — zero real Google calls in CI. Verified by artifact + live: audit 100% (all 37 files), 187 tests, ruff clean, restore list/file round-trip confirmed.
Backup uses the repo-root pyright config like every citizen. Removed backup's standalone pyrightconfig.json (a leftover from its pre-namespace standalone days, archived) so it inherits the root config — resolving imports consistently with the rest of AIPass. Dead PyQt5 ui/settings_window.py (never wired) archived.
Backup versioned baseline + per-file diff engine (FPLAN-0267, Phase 3 of FPLAN-0264 — the heart). Faithful port of the GOLD versioned engine, replacing the mtime full-copy-into-timestamped-dirs remnant. One persistent store (.backup_system/versioned/) with GOLD's file-folder packaging: each file gets <parent>/<name>/ holding the current copy, a <stem>-baseline-<date>.<ext> full copy from the first run (never touched again), and <name>_diffs/<name>_v<old-mtime>.diff unified-diff patches on every change — append-only, versioned never deletes (cleanup stays snapshot-only). Versioned and snapshot back up the identical file set (same scan + ignore patterns; all shares one scan). Change detection is ledger-free (source mtime vs store-current mtime, copy2-preserved) — kills the regression where running snapshot starved the next versioned via the shared timestamps.json. New diff/restore.py (list_versions + restore_file); diff/generator.py wired (binary detection + diff include/ignore patterns). +15 tests (125 total). Verified by artifact + live end-to-end: snapshot-first-then-versioned still baselines everything (starvation dead), edit → real diff with old-mtime timestamp, source delete → versioned store untouched while snapshot mirror-deletes, restore round-trip byte-identical.
Backup snapshot fidelity + shared core (FPLAN-0266, Phase 2 of FPLAN-0264). Restored the snapshot-side machinery the 2026-04-23 rewrite degraded, ported from the GOLD archive onto the current per-project handlers. New handlers/cleanup/mirror.py cleanup_deleted_files — exception-aware mirror-delete: files removed from source are now removed from the snapshot (was a blind rmtree+recopy), respecting ignore-exceptions. copy/snapshot.py gains mtime-skip (quick-check fast path — unchanged files no longer re-copied), a long-path guard (>260), and read-only handling. report/result.py BackupResult now tracks critical vs non-critical errors + warnings + files_deleted; ignore/patterns.py gains IGNORE_EXCEPTIONS/is_exception(). +16 tests (test_snapshot_fidelity.py, 110 total). Verified by artifact + live: audit 100%, 110 passed, and a real throwaway-project test (delete two files → re-snapshot → both mirror-deleted, kept files preserved, 3 skipped/0 re-copied).
Backup test suite + seedgo 100% — restoration foundation (FPLAN-0265, Phase 1 of FPLAN-0264). Put a safety net under backup before the feature rebuild: new tests/ suite (94 tests — json_handler, CLI routing, filesystem handlers, error resilience, mocked drive) ported from the canonical citizen conftest pattern (hermetic, tmp_path, stdlib-only → 3.10–3.13), driving module coverage to 27%. Standards brought to 100% across all 35: shared --help/-h/help guard wired into all 10 modules' handle_command (Cli + Introspection), the 6 Phase-3 drive/diff/ui stubs wired-or-bypassed (Dead_Code + Unused_Function), requirements.project.txt added (Architecture), README module list + the small Modules/Trigger fixes (display.handle_command, create_progress_bar → build_progress_bar). Verified by artifact: re-ran audit (100%) + pytest (94 passed) + ruff (clean).

Fixed

Memory rollover no longer silently loses rolled-off learnings ("No embeddings generated"). A capped .trinity file rolls its excess entries out to vectors; two combined bugs dropped them on the floor instead. (1) On the "embedding returned empty but success=True" path the orchestrator logged the error and continued — but the source file was already trimmed, so the entry was lost from both the file and ChromaDB; it now restores the pre-trim backup before continuing (fail-honest). (2) A concurrent-rollover race (two runs ~33ms apart) let the second run extract nothing yet still report success → empty embeddings → bug #1; extract_with_metadata now honors the skipped flag and the orchestrator skips no-op extractions before the embedding stage. Verified by artifact + live: a 25/25-capped test file rolls over → embeds (384-dim) → drone @memory search returns it at 91% similarity; audit 100%, 876 tests (+4).
Backup Google Drive folder duplication + dedup-wipe fixed (GOLD-faithful lock restoration). The Phase-4 port had narrowed GoogleDriveSync's folder lock: a single drive_sync run's 3 upload workers raced the folder search+create → multiple "AIPass Backups" root folders, and get_or_create_backup_folder reset the dedup tracker on every call (re-uploading everything = the slowness). Restored GOLD's structure exactly: get_or_create_project_folder / get_or_create_nested_folder hold _folder_cache_lock across the entire method (cache + root-ensure + search
- create); get_or_create_backup_folder is lock-free (called inside the project lock — no re-entrant deadlock), short-circuits cached ids via _verify_folder_id, and clears the tracker only on a genuine brand-new root folder. Also: all four drive_* commands route by their underscore names (were hyphenated → "Unknown command"); requirements.project.txt now declares the three google libs. Verified by artifact (seedgo 100%, 197 tests incl. a 5-thread concurrency test → exactly one create) + live (real Drive backup: no duplicate folders).
Backup rich CLI output restored end-to-end (FPLAN-0263 + drone passthrough). drone @backup snapshot|versioned|all rendered a flat text block instead of the original rich output. Two independent causes, both closed: (1) the rich rendering was never carried forward in backup's revival — rebuilt as a faithful 9-stage port (new backup_timestamps state handler + display.py pipeline: Last-backups panel → boxed header → live Rich progress bar → result summary → Backups-now panel; BackupResult extended with files_checked/files_skipped/backup_path; copy handlers emit on_progress callbacks). (2) drone was flattening it at the pipe — @backup ran through capture_output=True (non-TTY → Rich strips color, the transient progress bar renders to nothing) and the 30s capture timeout would kill large backups; added backup to drone's INTERACTIVE_BRANCHES so all @backup commands inherit the terminal (mirrors cli). Verified live under a pty: full color
- animated progress bar.

[2026-06-11]

Fixed

seedgo audit local↔CI parity (FPLAN-0261). The local seedgo audit could silently diverge from CI, breaking the "pass locally first, then ship" gate. Three independent causes, all closed without coupling any checker to git (.gitignore is git's concern, not the audit's): (1) usage-scanning checkers (unused_function, dead_code, +4) rglob'd gitignored output dirs (artifacts/, dropbox/), so a stray local file could mark a function "used" that a clean checkout correctly flags — every per-checker skip list hoisted to one shared SOURCE_SKIP_DIRS (output dirs simply aren't source). (2) The diagnostics standard shelled out to bare python3 -m pyright (system python, no pyright) and, on the resulting JSON-parse failure, returned 0 errors = clean — a silent false-green; now uses sys.executable and fails loud. (3) pyright resolved imports against PATH-python, so results flipped with .venv activation — pinned via --pythonpath sys.executable. The audit is now deterministic local == CI (proven all-13-branches-100% in an unactivated shell). Also: drone bypasses the test-only broker start_background (intentional API, not dead code).
windows-setup CI: guard Linux-only sandbox tests. The kernel-sandbox build is Linux-only (bwrap, AF_UNIX sockets, openat2); the code already guards on sys.platform, but four test surfaces ran unconditionally and failed on windows-latest. Module-level pytestmark = pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != "linux", …) on drone/tests/test_broker.py and hooks/tests/test_sandbox.py; scoped guards on the remaining AF_UNIX broker-socket tests — ai_mail/.../test_dispatch_monitor.py::TestBrokerRealE2E (class) and aipass/.../test_sandbox_check.py::TestCheckBrokerAlive socket-connect tests (method-level, so the graceful no-broker paths still run on Windows). All skip on Windows and run unchanged on Linux. windows-setup was green pre-sandbox-merge (00edd8b) and red since (0b4ba63); this closes it.
Broker start_background connect-before-bind race. drone's out-of-sandbox broker daemon started via start_background(), which returned before the AF_UNIX socket was bound — callers then raced the bind, and on a slower machine create_identified_connection() hit FileNotFoundError (socket not yet present). Deterministic locally (test_delete_nested_file 0/5), green in CI only by timing luck — latent flakiness. Fixed with a threading.Event set right after listen(); start_background(timeout=5.0) now blocks on it and raises if the socket never binds, so callers never guess a sleep. Removed the 4 blind time.sleep(0.15) waits from the broker tests. Verified 55/55 broker tests, formerly-failing test 10/10.

Added

aipass init detects missing Claude Code. Stage 6 (CLI choice) now checks shutil.which("claude") when the picked CLI is Claude Code. If absent: interactive runs prompt Install now? [Y/n] and run the canonical installer on yes (native claude.ai/install.sh, PowerShell on Windows, npm fallback, 300s timeout, loud on failure); non-interactive runs warn and continue. The whole system routes through Claude Code (hook bridge, dispatch, prompt injection), so init no longer silently assumes the runtime is present. Only fires when the chosen CLI is claude.
Kernel filesystem boundary for agent containment (DPLAN-0202 / FPLAN-0250). Every autonomous agent can now launch inside a kernel-enforced mount namespace (@anthropic-ai/sandbox-runtime → bwrap+seccomp) where reads stay fully open (the shared live filesystem is preserved — a bind-mount, not isolation: own-tree writes land live on the real FS instantly) but deletes/overwrites of protected paths (.git, sibling branch trees) fail at the kernel no matter how the call is phrased — rm, python os.remove, find -delete, Write tool all hit EROFS. /tmp and the agent's own tree stay writable; .git is RW for devpulse, RO for builders. A per-role policy generator (@hooks build_policy) derives each branch's writable/RO map from its passport. Privileged deletes route through an out-of-sandbox drone-broker daemon: identity-scoped allowlist, openat2 RESOLVE_BENEATH path re-resolution (confused-deputy proof), HMAC identity handshake over a pre-connected inherited fd, JSONL audit. aipass doctor gained a Sandbox check group (bwrap present+functional, node, srt, rg, broker socket) that is LOUD when the flag is on and a prereq is missing — never a silent unsandboxed launch. Proven by a live 16-check red-team suite. Inert by default — gated behind AIPASS_SANDBOX_ENABLED (off); flag-off is byte-identical to the old dispatch path.
rm_gate demoted to guardrail. Now framed honestly as early-feedback that catches the accidental rm -rf and teaches drone rm — belt-and-suspenders, with the kernel sandbox as the actual filesystem boundary.
Prompt-injection cadence — fire the big loaders every Nth turn. The global and branch prompts are large and were re-injected on every turn even though a prior copy stays in the conversation. They now fire together every 5th turn (config-tunable via hooks_json/custom_config/cadence_config.json), with a per-session turn counter that resets on a new session and after compaction so context is always rebuilt when it's actually needed. Identity and the mail flag stay every-turn (tiny, want freshness). Cuts recurring per-turn context cost.
Hook fire/skip observability. Cadence emits a structured [HOOKS] cadence fired|skipped loader= turn= period= offset= line; the prax monitor renders hook events distinctly so the cadence is visible live.
Slim global prompt — context-on-demand. The always-injected global prompt was rewritten from a ~13.8KB encyclopedia into a ~7.8KB navigation map (DPLAN-0201): drone pinned as the router, the framework tree, all 13 agents as short bios, and one drilled reflex — run drone @agent --help before using a branch. Detail now lives in each agent's --help, fetched on demand. This also dissolves the harness ~10k-char truncation that was silently dropping the old prompt's tail; the slim prompt injects whole. Backup retained alongside.

Changed

Shared leaf library re-homed: aipass.common → aipass.aipass.shared (FPLAN-0260). src/aipass/common/ was the only non-citizen directory in the agent namespace — a shared lib (json_handler / json_ops / registry_discovery, extracted in TDPLAN-0006 P2) parked as a sibling to the agents with no owner. Per @seedgo design review it now lives inside its steward at src/aipass/aipass/shared/, owned by @aipass; @spawn imports across (same blessed shared-infra category as aipass.prax/aipass.cli). Content byte-identical; ~9 import/doc sites updated across aipass+spawn. A new subprocess guard test pins the bootstrap-safety invariant: importing shared/ loads zero branch dependencies, so aipass init keeps working pre-drone on fresh machines. Note: aipass.common shipped in the v2.5.2 wheel; it was internal plumbing — no deprecation shim.
Action-gated hook sound. Piper now speaks only when a hook actually does something — handlers return a sound key the engine plays, instead of announcing on every invocation. Skipped loaders are silent. Quieter and honest.
README: hardcoded metrics → live badges + qualitative. Version is now a live PyPI badge, test/PR counts replaced with a codecov coverage badge (75% minimum) and qualitative wording — no more stale numbers to hand-maintain.

Fixed

Cadence counter separate-process race. Each UserPromptSubmit hook runs as its own OS process, so a module-level turn cache double-incremented and the loaders leapfrogged (firing erratically instead of together). Fixed with an mtime debounce + transcript-size token + flock so the counter advances exactly once per real turn, verified against the live execution model.
auto_fix ran no diagnostics. A leftover speak() call (its import removed in the sound refactor) raised NameError on every edit, swallowed by the handler's broad except — so auto-fix silently surfaced nothing on any .py/.json edit. Removed the dead call; diagnostics run again.
Hook events never colored in the monitor. The prax log-watcher's _HOOK_PATTERN required an action= field that cadence never emits (it logs the action as the bare second word, fired/skipped), so extraction failed and events fell through to plain rendering instead of the styled bold-green ⚡ / dim · treatment. Fixed the regex to capture the bare action word and enriched the event detail (period, offset, short session id).

Security

Least-privilege token on the e2e-wheel workflow. e2e-wheel.yml was the one CI workflow missing a top-level permissions: block (it was added during the cross-OS work after PR #624 hardened the others), so it ran with the default broad GITHUB_TOKEN scopes — dropping the OpenSSF Scorecard Token-Permissions check to 0. Added permissions: contents: read; the workflow only reads the repo to build and smoke-test the wheel.
Signed GitHub Releases via Sigstore (keyless). The release workflow now signs the built wheel + sdist with sigstore/gh-action-sigstore-python (keyless OIDC — no signing key is generated, stored, or held by anyone) and attaches the resulting .sigstore.json bundles to the GitHub Release. PyPI uploads were already attested via Trusted Publishing; this extends verifiable provenance to artifacts pulled from GitHub Releases and satisfies the OpenSSF Scorecard Signed-Releases check. First proof lands on the next v* tag.

[2026-06-02]

Fixed

aipass init scaffold correctness. A fresh aipass init now generates a project-specific AGENTS.md (new agents_md() generator) instead of falling back to copying AIPass's own repo-root AGENTS.md boilerplate — Codex users were getting the wrong file. Project README.md quick-start/structure paths now reflect the real src/<package>/<agent>/ layout.
First-agent default name my-agent → my_agent. aipass init seeded its default agent with a hyphen, the lone source of a long-standing dir-vs-module mismatch (the directory kept the hyphen while the importable module, @address and registry name all normalize to underscore). Defaulting to my_agent makes directory, module, @address and the README example all consistent.
Dead citizenship.registry_path removed from spawn templates. The field pointed at a non-existent .aipass/registry.json; it was never read anywhere (registry is located by find_registry() glob), so it's dropped from the builder and birthright passport templates.

Removed

The entire STATUS flow is decommissioned (TDPLAN-0007). The per-branch hand-maintained STATUS.local.md beacon and the auto-aggregated central STATUS.md (853 lines / 70 KB nobody read) are gone — deleted from disk across all 13 branches and scrubbed from every prompt, doc, startup protocol, /prep + /memo skill, the compact-recovery hook, the email footer, and aipass init / spawn scaffolding. Live branch state was already fully covered by DASHBOARD.local.json (prax) and history by .trinity/local.json. The status-sync engine is kept intact but inert — made dormant by unwiring its 3-line trigger registration (trigger registry.py), so the code stays revivable. The one thing STATUS uniquely gave us — a quick scratch todo — is replaced by an operational todos[] section in .trinity/local.json (@memory-owned schema, capped, never vectorized by rollover), pushed to all 13 branches and surfaced as a todo_count on the dashboard. Shipped as one coordinated cross-branch change (memory, prax, trigger, aipass, spawn, hooks, ai_mail, seedgo + devpulse).

Changed

All 13 branches at seedgo 100% under the new introspection standard. Wrapped print_introspection() output in Rich markup across ai_mail, drone, spawn, trigger, prax and devpulse (the rest were already compliant) — presentation only, no logic change — so drone @branch with no args renders consistent styled output everywhere.
CLI polish for human-facing output. drone @hooks --help rewritten (Rich, with hooksound on/off/status now surfaced); drone @spawn repair help clarified as distinct from update and showing the preview/--apply flow; drone restores Rich colour on human-facing routed output (--help, introspection, status) via the inherit path.
Spawn backups land in one namespace .spawn/.recovery/ (TDPLAN-0006 P4). Spawn's pre-merge JSON backups previously dropped a .recovery/ directory at each branch root (which had accumulated 242 stale auto-generated DASHBOARD backups across 10 branches). aipass.common.json_ops.backup_json gained an optional backup_dir parameter (default unchanged), and spawn's update engine now directs backups to {branch}/.spawn/.recovery/ — tucked under the spawn-managed .spawn/ dir instead of cluttering the branch root. Memory stays in the safety net (the engine simply never touches .trinity//DASHBOARD on update, so it never needs to back them up). Stale .recovery/ backups cleaned up. (315 tests, seedgo 100%.)
No more cross-branch engine imports — aipass init update calls spawn via subprocess (TDPLAN-0006 P3). init_flow.py previously did from aipass.spawn.apps.modules.sync_registry import sync_registry — the one place aipass reached directly into spawn's Python. Replaced with a subprocess call to the already-existing drone @spawn sync-registry --fix (same pattern as aipass init agent → drone @spawn create), preserving graceful degradation (a missing drone, non-zero exit, or timeout is silently skipped — registry sync never hard-fails an update). The aipass branch now has zero direct imports of another branch's engine code; the remaining cross-branch imports are shared service layers only (cli Rich UI, prax logging, trigger events). (438 tests, seedgo 100%.)
aipass.common shared library — dedup spawn/aipass scaffold machinery (TDPLAN-0006 P2). @spawn and @aipass each carried their own copy of the JSON merge/handler utilities and registry discovery. Extracted them into a new branch-free package src/aipass/common/ (json_ops = deep_merge + backup_json; json_handler.JsonHandler; registry_discovery.find_registry) that both branches now import. aipass.common imports zero branch code, so aipass/bootstrap.py (which runs before the drone runtime exists) can depend on it without breaking the pre-infrastructure constraint. The duplicated copies are deleted (spawn keeps a thin re-export shim; aipass's json_handler shrank 254 → 88 lines). The save_json contract is unified to raise ValueError on invalid structure across both branches. (313 spawn + 434 aipass tests, both seedgo 100%.)

Fixed

Flow plan-type self-serve UX — register override, help, orphan cleanup. Explicit drone @flow register <dir> <PREFIX> now overrides an auto-derived prefix instead of silently failing (guarded — refuses if the auto-registered type already holds plans), so custom prefixes are settable when adding a new plan type. create/templates --help rewritten to dynamically list registered types + templates and document the add-a-new-type workflow. Stale orphan plan registries removed; dead prefix_exists() dropped. (728 tests, seedgo 100%.)
drone @spawn update no longer scrambles branches (#636, critical — TDPLAN-0006 P0+P1). The update engine compared a freshly-created branch against the class template by content hash with rename-detection, and because the CREATE path regenerated template-registry IDs in filesystem-walk order (≠ the master's hand-crafted IDs), a branch created seconds earlier produced 30 proposed renames that rotated identity/memory dirs into each other (apps→.trinity→.seedgo→.claude→.archive→.aipass), turned README into DASHBOARD, and deep-merged stale template into live .trinity/ memory — update <class> --all would have destroyed every citizen in one command. Rebuilt update_ops.py (v2.0) on an explicit named-managed-files + path-based model: .trinity/*, DASHBOARD.local.json, artifacts/birth_certificate.json and .seedgo/bypass.json are delivered on create only and never touched on update; the create==update invariant now yields 0 renames / 0 merges on a fresh branch. The old ID-based engine (change_detection.py, reconcile.py) is deleted.
Destructive spawn ops are now dry-run by default (TDPLAN-0006 P0). drone @spawn update and drone @spawn repair preview by default and require an explicit --apply to write — forgetting a flag is now a safe no-op instead of irreversible damage (--dry-run kept as an alias). aipass doctor repair suggestions emit the matching --apply form.

Added

Introspection Rich-formatting standard (seedgo). New check_introspection_rich_formatting checker enforces that each branch's print_introspection() output uses Rich markup (delegation-aware — it walks _-prefixed helper functions), keeping no-arg drone @branch output styled and consistent. Documented in introspection.md; all 13 branches brought into compliance (see Changed).
Playbook plan type (PBPLAN) — reusable SOP checklists (flow). A new playbook_plans template family for throwaway, vectorize-on-close operational runbooks (first SOP: the Sunday merge). Drop a .md under templates/playbook_plans/, register once, then drone @flow create . "subject" <sop> stamps a run to tick through and close.
Memory-pool auto-processing (TDPLAN-0005) — dropped files in memory/memory_pool/ are now vectorized and archived automatically on session-start and pre-compact, instead of requiring a manual drone @memory pool process. A 3-branch build: @memory gains an intake handler + pool module (processes then empties the pool, keep_recent=0), @hooks adds a lifecycle/auto_process handler (session-guarded via CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID, since Claude Code has no SessionStart hook), and @trigger gains event #15 (memory_pool_auto_processed) with a Medic error path. Runtime pool dirs (memory_pool/, memory_pool_archive/) are now gitignored.
HVTracker badge added to the README badge cluster, linking to the public agent profile at hvtracker.net (closes #628).
git_gate read-verb allowlist — raw read-only git for every branch. The PreToolUse git_gate previously blocked all raw git (forcing drone @git even for harmless reads), which left agents unable to inspect what git ships — the exact forensics needed to diagnose the audit gap above. It now allows 22 read-only verbs raw (ls-files, ls-tree, show, cat-file, rev-parse, rev-list, log, status, diff, blame, archive, grep, …) while write operations stay drone-gated. Global options (-C, -c, --git-dir, …) are skipped when extracting the verb, and chained commands are split on &&/||/;/| so a read piped into a write still blocks the whole line. (81 tests)
Cross-OS end-to-end WIRING test (tests/e2e/, e2e-wheel.yml) — the first CI gate that proves real AIPass wiring (not units-with-mocks) by building the wheel, installing it into a clean venv, and asserting a 4-tier ladder: package install + console scripts (T0), aipass init scaffolding (T1), a hook actually firing via the bridge with an observable engine.jsonl record (T2a), and drone resolving + subprocess-executing a real branch (T3). Runs on a 3-OS matrix (ubuntu/windows/macos, fail-fast: false). Ran red-first on Windows by design and immediately earned its keep — it caught two real, previously uncovered Windows wiring bugs (aipass init preflight + drone stdout encoding, both fixed below). Notably the layers we most feared — clean-wheel install (T0) and hook firing (T2a) — passed on Windows. (DPLAN-0194 / FPLAN-0239)
drone rm — provider-agnostic safe delete — a contained recursive delete that lets agents clean up scratch dirs without tripping the rm -rf block. Deletes are confined to the project root and the system temp dirs (/tmp and $TMPDIR), refusing anything outside (home, /etc, /, etc.). Even inside those roots it hard-refuses protected internals — .git, .trinity/, .aipass/, .codex/, .agents/, and sibling-branch worktrees — mirroring the filesystem boundary an OS-sandboxed agent (e.g. Codex) enforces, so behavior is consistent across CLIs. Pure-Python (shutil.rmtree), with a red-team test suite for containment escapes (symlinks, traversal, sibling branches). (#630)
rm_gate hook — block raw recursive rm, teach the safe path — a PreToolUse gate (mirroring git_gate) that blocks raw rm -r/-rf/-fr/ --recursive and redirects the agent to drone rm. Provider-agnostic (runs in the hook engine, not tied to Claude Code permission rules), conservative (unparseable targets are blocked, not allowed), and skips drone rm itself. This makes the safe-delete path discoverable at the moment of friction. (#630)
Hook engine logs agent_type / agent_id per fire — the engine now records which agent triggered each hook (e.g. agent=main vs agent=Explore) in both engine.jsonl and the prax monitor stream. Previously the payload flowed into handlers but was never logged, leaving no way to tell an internal main-turn fire from a real sub-agent fire. Pure visibility; no behavior change. Groundwork for #606. (#606)
OpenSSF Best Practices passing badge — AIPass earned the OpenSSF Best Practices (CII) passing badge (100% of criteria), added to the README badge cluster. Self-certified across all six categories — basics, change control, reporting, quality, security, and analysis. Complements the existing OpenSSF Scorecard, lifting the CII-Best-Practices check from 0. (DPLAN-0193)

Changed

Standards floor raised to genuine 100% across all 13 branches — completed the campaign that lifted the seedgo gate threshold from 80 to 100. Rather than bypass failing files, two check flaws were fixed at the root: (1) the file-size / architecture check is now advisory (warn-only for 700–1500 line files with no docstring nudge, hard-fail only above 1500) — large files are a smell, not a defect; (2) readme-freshness now compares against git history, not file mtime — git checkout/merge reset mtimes without any semantic change, so the old check false-positived (flow + prax shared an identical mtime from one git event, not real edits). It now diffs the README's "Last Updated" against the last commit that touched .py. Genuine content fixes where warranted (aipass requirements template + handler routing; honest README content refreshes on flow, prax, devpulse). The readme-freshness failure message now teaches the right fix ("update README content, then set the date — don't just bump it"). Also optimized the devpulse watchdog poll cadence (2s → 5s; the loop is cheap, so the tighter interval was wasted CPU). (#631)
Retired the blanket rm deny from provider settings — setup.sh and aipass init no longer ship Bash(rm -rf*) / Bash(rm -r *) deny rules (they were mis-filed among git rules, blocked all /tmp cleanup, and gave a bare "permission denied" with no guidance). The rm_gate hook + drone rm now own this — cross-provider, path-aware, and they teach. aipass doctor detects the stale rules on existing installs and aipass doctor --fix removes them (idempotent, preserves all other rules). Claude Code still natively circuit-breaks rm -rf / and rm -rf ~. (#630)

Fixed

Windows Test / macOS Test are no longer path-filtered — they were stalling PRs as required checks. Both workflows only triggered when setup.sh/drone/cli.py/handlers/__init__.py/pyproject.toml changed, but branch protection lists windows-setup/macos-setup as required. On any PR that didn't touch those paths the workflows never ran, so GitHub parked the required checks as "Expected — waiting for status" indefinitely, blocking the merge (the tests themselves were green — they simply didn't fire). They now run on every push/PR to main/dev, like the other required lanes. (A required check must never be path-filtered.)
seedgo-audit CI gate was red despite 100% local audits — four checkers validated the working tree instead of committed source. CI audits a clean git checkout (tracked files only — git ships no empty or gitignored dirs), but the working tree carries runtime dirs (logs/, *_json/, artifacts/, .trinity/, passport.json), so every branch scored ~97% in CI while passing at 100% locally. Reproduced exactly with a tracked-only tree (git archive HEAD audits to CI's 97%). Four checkers now measure what git actually ships: log_structure no longer fails when the gitignored logs/ dir is absent (it still enforces no-hardcoded-paths); readme cross-references .gitignore (via git check-ignore with a fallback list) and skips gitignored dirs/links in the directory-tree and dead-link checks; encapsulation infers the branch from the path when the gitignored AIPASS_REGISTRY.json is unavailable (and no longer collides on the aipass branch); architecture skips cleanly when the gitignored passport.json is absent. A follow-up refined readme's git check-ignore use: .gitignore dir-only patterns (trailing slash — logs/, **/*_json/, .trinity/) don't match a clean checkout's non-existent paths unless directory intent is signalled, so the check now also tests the trailing-slash form (this was the last 1% — readme flagged cli_json/logs/artifacts as "missing on disk" in CI only). The CI gate (.github/scripts/seedgo_audit.py) now also prints the failing standards and their check messages, so a sub-100 result says why, not just the percentage. Finally, the seedgo-audit CI job now installs the memory extra (pip install -e ".[dev,memory]"): the diagnostics standard runs pyright over every branch, and memory's handlers import chromadb/numpy at module level — without those declared deps installed, pyright reported them as unresolved (reportMissingImports=error) and memory scored 55%, a false failure from a missing CI dep rather than a code defect. Clean-tree and working-tree audits both report 13/13 = 100%. (DPLAN-0195)
Two latent Windows portability bugs caught by the new e2e harness — both were always present in the code; they only surfaced now because this is the first CI to run aipass init scaffolding and real-branch drone routing on Windows (the old Windows CI ran an editable install, aipass-less, and only routed to in-process modules, so both paths had zero Windows coverage). Pure portability fixes — Linux/macOS behaviour is unchanged.
- aipass init crashed on Windows (surfaced as a misleading "Unknown command: init"). Init scaffolded the project correctly, then crashed printing its ✓ Project initialized banner — Rich wrote the ✓/box glyphs through a cp1252 stdout, raising UnicodeEncodeError ('charmap'); the error handler's ✗ message hit the same wall, bubbling up to the command router which mislabeled it. The aipass entry point now reconfigures stdout/stderr to UTF-8 in place on Windows. (The init preflight ancestor-walk was also hardened to skip un-enumerable Windows drive-root entries — defensive, not the trigger.)
- drone @branch crashed on Windows with the same UnicodeEncodeError ('charmap'). drone resolved + subprocessed the branch correctly, then crashed printing the captured output through cp1252 stdout. The existing PYTHONUTF8 guard only affected child interpreters, not the live process streams — drone's entry point now also reconfigure()s stdout/stderr to UTF-8 in place.
- CI unit lane no longer runs the e2e wheel tests. ci.yml's pytest --rootdir=. swept in tests/e2e/ (which build a wheel per the dedicated e2e-wheel.yml), failing the unit lane; it now --ignores them. (DPLAN-0194)
A release merge can no longer destroy the dev branch — drone @git merge passed --delete-branch to gh pr merge unconditionally, so merging a dev→main PR deleted the persistent dev branch on the remote and stranded the working tree on main (the next commit silently landing on main). Merge now looks up the PR's head ref and only deletes non-protected branches — dev and main are never deleted, and an undeterminable head ref fails safe (no delete). After a merge it returns the working tree to dev (loud warning if it can't). drone @git branches now runs fetch --prune before listing so it reflects the live remote instead of stale cached refs, and a new drone @git prune-temp cleans up merged temp PR branches. (#625)
drone @git status/diff show their scope — when scoped to a branch (no --all), output now appends "(showing scope — use --all for full repo)", so an empty scoped view is no longer mistaken for a clean repo. (#623)
External projects can call AIPass branches via drone — drone @api ... (and any drone @X) now resolves from a non-AIPass project CWD instead of being blocked with "path escapes project root." The resolver was validating a branch's path against the primary registry root even when the branch was found via the AIPASS_HOME fallback, so any external project (Vera Studio, Daemon) hit a false security block. resolve_branch() now validates containment against the registry the branch was actually found in. Security is unchanged — each branch is still contained within its own declaring registry's root; genuine path escapes remain blocked. (#618)
aipass <command> runs instead of printing an introspection banner — aipass is a user-facing binary, so aipass doctor (and every other command) must execute, not describe itself. All 7 modules (doctor, doctor_fix, doctor_wire, handoff, help_chat, init_flow, profile) previously hit a no-args→introspection gate (a standard meant for drone @branch <module> discovery) and showed a banner on bare invocation. Now bare invocation runs the command or shows usage; the introspection banner moved to --info. The seedgo introspection standard is bypassed for these binary-invoked modules (documented).
Dashboard plan counts no longer zeroed on refresh — a branch's active_plans was reset to 0 by every drone @prax dashboard refresh, because PLANS.central.json only held Flow's own plans (location==FLOW_ROOT filter). The central file is now comprehensive: all plans grouped per-branch, so refresh reports each branch's real count (e.g. devpulse now shows its 12 open plans instead of 0).

Security

dependency-scan (pip-audit) green again — upgrade pip, drop stale ignores. The Security Scan workflow's dependency-scan job had gone red: pip-audit scans the whole environment, and the runner's bundled pip (26.1.1) carries advisory PYSEC-2026-196 (fixed in 26.1.2). The job now runs python -m pip install --upgrade pip before auditing (it was the only CI job not upgrading pip), removing the vulnerable version outright rather than suppressing it. 26.1.2 also resolves CVE-2026-3219 and CVE-2026-6357, so the two now-stale --ignore-vuln entries were removed — verified against a clean reproduction of the job's environment, which audits to "No known vulnerabilities found" with nothing ignored.
Pinned the requests floor to a non-vulnerable version — raised requests to >=2.34.2 in pyproject.toml and the API branch's requirements.project.txt (which previously listed it unconstrained). This clears six OSV advisories the OpenSSF Scorecard flagged against the dependency (PYSEC-2014-13, PYSEC-2014-14, PYSEC-2018-28, GHSA-9wx4-h78v-vm56, GHSA-9hjg-9r4m-mvj7, GHSA-gc5v-m9x4-r6x2) — the oldest surfaced only because the dependency was declared without a version bound. No runtime change (the AIPass venv already ran a fixed release). (DPLAN-0193)
Pinned the test container base image by digest — Dockerfile.test now pins ubuntu:24.04 to its registry digest (sha256:786a8b55…) so the test image is reproducible and tamper-evident, clearing the Scorecard containerImage not pinned by hash finding. (DPLAN-0193)

[2026-05-30]

Added

drone @hooks status — read-only viewer for a project's hook config: master switch, every hook's enabled state per event group, matchers, and an enabled/total summary. Resolves the project's .aipass/hooks.json by walking up from CWD. (DPLAN-0190 Phase B)
Hooks activate in every project — aipass init now writes .aipass/hooks.json, so new projects fire the hook engine out of the box (previously: no config shipped, 0 hooks fired). aipass init update union-merges the template, preserving any per-hook on/off choices the user made. aipass doctor now checks for the config's presence. Dead hook-script shipping (_ship_hooks) removed. (DPLAN-0190 Phase A)
README logo — centered logo image replaces plain # AIPass header. New assets/logo.png added to the repo.
OpenSSF Scorecard — .github/workflows/scorecard.yml runs the official OSSF Scorecard action on push to main and weekly. Publishes a public security health score at scorecard.dev with a README badge. Actions pinned by SHA.
GitHub Releases — publish.yml now cuts a GitHub Release on each v* tag, with notes pulled from the top CHANGELOG section and the built dist attached. PyPI publish + GitHub Release now fire from the same tag.
Registry descriptions — all 13 branches now have one-liner descriptions in AIPASS_REGISTRY.json. drone systems shows what each agent does instead of blank lines. Closes #607.

Changed

Security gates fully project-aware — both the edit gate and the subagent stop gate now derive the package name dynamically from CWD instead of hardcoding src/aipass/. Cross-branch write protection and branch detection work for any src/<package>/<branch>/ project; previously the subagent gate silently no-opped outside AIPass. 9 new external-project tests. Closes #605.
Hooks branch promoted to service — registry profile changed from "AIPass Workshop" to "library" so it appears in drone systems alongside the other 12 services.
Hooks branch hardened to 100% seedgo — the @hooks citizen took full ownership of its branch: every handler verified wired + firing, README rewritten (two-tier provider/project model, dynamic-dispatch design, event table), 2 stale tests resolved (253 pass). Dead-code/unused-function flags documented as architectural bypasses — the 15 handlers are invoked dynamically via importlib from hooks.json paths, never statically imported. (DPLAN-0191)

Release

Version 2.5.0 published to PyPI. Trusted publishing via GitHub Actions (publish.yml triggers on v* tags — no manual twine upload needed). The same tag now also cuts a GitHub Release with these notes attached.

Removed

Gemini CLI full removal — deleted .gemini/ directory (5 files) and GEMINI.md. Stripped all references from setup.sh (~50 lines), README.md, bug-report.yml, aipass init (bootstrap/scaffold/test), hooks (README/prompt/passport), and prax monitoring (~300 lines). 21 files changed, -927 lines. Closes #608.

[2026-05-25]

First weekly release. AIPass now follows a Sunday release cadence: changes accumulate on dev throughout the week and merge to main as a single versioned release with notes.

Added

Hook engine — a new centralized dispatch system for all hook execution. A thin bridge receives events from the AI provider (Claude, Codex, etc.) and routes them through a single Python engine that reads per-project configuration, executes the appropriate handlers, and logs every invocation. Replaces 14 standalone shell/Python scripts with native handler modules organized by domain: prompt injection, security enforcement, lifecycle management, and notifications.
Per-project hook configuration via .aipass/hooks.json. Each project can enable, disable, or customize individual hooks without touching provider-level settings. Previously hooks fired globally with no per-project control.
Audio feedback on hook events using Piper TTS. All 14 handlers produce distinct spoken audio cues so operators can monitor sessions without watching the terminal. A shared sound module (hooks/apps/sound.py) provides speak() and play() with built-in mute support. Toggle with drone @hooks hooksound on|off — muting silences all 14 handlers without skipping their functional logic.
Hooks agent — the 13th citizen in the AIPass registry, owning all hook infrastructure: the engine, bridge, handlers, and configuration schema.
Dashboard plugin for devpulse — aggregates git status, session history, and dispatch state into a single startup view. Wired into the session startup protocol so branch managers see current state immediately.
External log routing — prax now accepts structured log entries from any branch, not just its own modules. Hook executions, dispatches, and agent activity all flow into the central monitoring log.

Changed

Provider settings fully migrated to bridge pattern. All hook entries in the Claude provider configuration now call the bridge dispatcher instead of individual scripts. Each hook produces its own system-reminder to the model, preserving prompt injection fidelity (a single merged bridge was found to break prompt delivery due to Claude Code's output persistence threshold).
setup.sh rewritten to install hooks via the bridge pattern. The old version hardcoded 14 script paths; the new version writes a single bridge call per event type and validates that the bridge module exists.
Documentation sweep across .claude/README.md, SECURITY.md, the global prompt, and branch-level docs to reflect the new hook architecture. References to legacy .claude/hooks/ scripts replaced with the native handler locations.
aipass init update now correctly preserves user-customized hook settings during project updates instead of overwriting them.
Seedgo snapshot tests rebuilt — the provider hooks snapshot fixture and extraction logic were structurally broken (silently passing with zero results). Both the fixture format and the test assertions have been corrected.
Test suite updated for hook migration — test_git_gate.py imports from the new handler module; test_bootstrap.py no longer asserts that project initialization ships standalone hook scripts (it no longer does).

Fixed

Settings merge on project update — aipass init update was clobbering user hook configurations. The merge logic now layers AIPass defaults under existing user settings.
Python 3.10 test collision — a module/function name collision caused mock patch targets to fail on Python 3.10. Test targets corrected.
Dead code removal — removed an unused CLI __main__.py entrypoint and cleaned up .gitignore entries that were masking tracked files.
Codecov patch threshold lowered to 50% to reflect the project's current coverage baseline and stop false-negative CI failures.

Removed

18 standalone hook scripts in .claude/hooks/ disabled (renamed with (disabled) suffix). Their logic now lives in native handler modules under src/aipass/hooks/apps/handlers/. The old files remain on disk for reference but are no longer executed.
drone hook-sounds plugin disabled. Sound control moved to hooks branch as drone @hooks hooksound on|off with full mute support for all 14 handlers (the old plugin only controlled 4).

Infrastructure

Provider manifest migrated to bridge pattern. provider_manifest.json now stores bridge commands ($AIPASS_HOME/...bridges/claude.py EventType) instead of standalone script names. doctor_wire.py auto-wires bridge entries directly — no longer copies scripts to ~/.claude/hooks/ or generates sys.executable paths. Doctor checks validate commands exist in provider settings instead of checking for script files on disk.
README v3 — rewritten for external users. Tighter problem/solution framing, collapsible agent details, Gemini CLI removed (untested), user-project perspective throughout.
Inline handoff (aipass init run Step 11) — new default stays in the current terminal via os.execvp instead of opening a new window. Users choose "stay here" or "new window." Enables single-terminal demo recordings. Closes #610.
Project-aware global prompt — the global prompt loader now detects whether CWD is inside AIPass or an external project. External projects receive their own lighter prompt (from .aipass/aipass_global_prompt.md) instead of the full AIPass-internal playbook. Fixes drone @prax errors in new projects.
Project CLAUDE.md template — aipass init now generates a project-specific CLAUDE.md from .aipass/project_CLAUDE.md instead of copying the AIPass-internal one. Removes the startup protocol reference to drone @prax dashboard refresh which doesn't exist in external projects.
Gemini CLI removed from aipass init CLI choices and handoff options. GEMINI.md no longer created for new projects. Gemini CLI is being retired upstream.
Demo GIF added to assets/demo.gif and referenced in README.

This is the first CHANGELOG entry. Prior work is documented in the repository's commit history and branch session logs.
