feat(policy): authorize immutable filesystem scopes over TinyBus

[senamakel]

OpenHuman needs independent filesystem policy for concurrent agents. This adds contract 1.1 methods RegisterPathPolicy, ValidatePath, ValidateParent and CheckPath, backed by immutable scopes with 256-bit OS-entropy references. Hosts compile only tinysecurity-bus (serde/thiserror); filesystem evaluation lives in the native module.

Scopes preserve operation-specific trusted grants, host-state reservations, read-only outputs, action-relative paths and canonical existing/missing targets. Resolution and metadata errors fail closed. Windows drive/UNC/device aliases, trailing dots/spaces and NTFS streams participate in denial checks without broadening grants. Reservation exceptions must resolve to strict descendants both at registration and evaluation; tilde-only home requests cannot supply a write filename. Registry locks are released before blocking filesystem work, and scopes survive accepted SDK reinitialization.

This is a trusted host-to-module configuration interface on a private in-process bus. It does not authenticate callers or grant OS privileges. Hosts own authentication, bus admission and the selected policy reference; untrusted code belongs in a separate sandbox without this bus. The acting-scope floor preserves OpenHuman’s configurable installation-root contract, while bootstrap Check retains its conservative floor.

Validation: all four repository contract commands pass; 150 Linux tests plus the compile-fail API doctest; default-feature tests; documentation with warnings denied; every production source file above 90% coverage (scope 97.63%, registry 97.85%, adapter 91.61%). The real native verifier passes with digest rejection and scope persistence. Its owned filesystem fixture also passes from outside the checkout, where the previous example failed; CI now exercises both working directories on all three operating systems. The macOS regression compares the canonical candidate and retains public validation denial assertions. New exception-escape and tilde-write regressions failed before their fixes and now pass. Hosted checks must pass on the final head before merge.

This supplies the filesystem capability for OpenHuman #7331. Production admission there still requires a released tag and published checksums. Command policy, redaction, approvals, egress, audit and crypto remain separate capabilities; this PR does not close the full tracker.

Refs #1 and tinyhumansai/openhuman#7328.

Registration admission now runs on a blocking worker before acquiring the shared registry mutex. A deterministic stalled-admission test proves PolicyInfo and another scope remain usable. Symlinks into protected locations retain the Protected denial category. Workspace precedence over an encompassing configurable forbidden root matches the existing host contract; a nested forbidden subtree remains denied.

Tiny Sweeper review

This PR implements TinySecurity contract 1.1 'immutable filesystem scopes': four new TinyBus members (RegisterPathPolicy, ValidatePath, ValidateParent, CheckPath) backed by a bounded immutable PathPolicyRegistry and a PathScope evaluator, with policy evaluation and filesystem queries moved onto tokio blocking workers so a stalled filesystem operation cannot block the module runtime or other agents. The most significant open concern, flagged by the critique and security lanes, is that RegisterPathPolicy and the scope query members accept any bus caller without authorization: nothing in the diff enforces the spec's claim that only trusted host adapters may register or use scopes, so an untrusted client could mint scopes with attacker-chosen trusted roots and use the module as a path-authorization oracle. Other open items include the acting-scope unconditional floor deliberately leaving /usr, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /lib64, /library and /dev host-configurable (a documented divergence from the conservative bootstrap floor), and a namespace-normalization concern in strip_native_namespace in crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path.rs flagged by critique and security. Prior revisions' findings on protected-floor gaps, unresolved-path containment, guessable identifiers and lock-held filesystem I/O are addressed in this revision.

What changed

Contract version bumped from (1,0) to (1,1) in crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/lib.rs with new wire types for path policies, validation requests/results and boolean check kinds in crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/path_policy.rs, and the advertised method list expanded in crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/names.rs. crates/tinysecurity-policy gains the PathScope evaluator (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_scope.rs), the bounded immutable PathPolicyRegistry (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_registry.rs), and shared floor helpers extracted from the bootstrap floor (strip_native_namespace, credential_store, windows_system_root including admin UNC shares and GLOBALROOT) in crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path.rs. crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs wires the new members into PolicyService and moves evaluate/check and filesystem work onto tokio blocking workers, releasing the registry lock before I/O. Dependencies added: getrandom and unicode-normalization; tokio moved to a main dependency; tempfile added as a dev-dependency. Docs updated in MODULE.md, README.md and a new docs/specs/immutable-path-scopes.md.

Features

• Added — Immutable filesystem scope registration and validation members over TinyBus: Hosts register host-owned native roots and state reservations as independent immutable agent scopes and authorize canonical reads or prospective writes without approval gating; scope IDs survive SDK reinit. Open finding: the new members accept any bus caller without authorization, despite the spec stating only trusted host adapters may register or submit scopes. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/names.rs#pub mod methods {, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/path_policy.rs, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs#impl PolicyService {, docs/specs/immutable-path-scopes.md)
• Added — Bounded immutable PathPolicyRegistry with deduplication: Registration never changes another agent's policy, rejects malformed or relative roots, deduplicates equal configurations, and fails closed at the 1024-scope limit, on entropy failure, or on repeated identifier collisions. The critique and security lanes still flagged missing caller authorization for registration. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_registry.rs)
• Added — Native filesystem scope evaluator (PathScope): Provides the protected-path floor, ancestor resolution for prospective writes, symlink handling, reservation/prefix matching, trusted-root read/write semantics and boolean CheckPath queries. Open finding: the acting-scope floor leaves system roots like /usr, /bin and /dev host-configurable. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_scope.rs)
• Modified — Blocking-worker execution for evaluate, check and filesystem queries: The registry lock is dropped before filesystem I/O so a stalled mount neither serializes other agents nor blocks the sole SDK runtime worker. (crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs#impl PolicyService {)
• Internal refactor — Shared floor helpers extracted from the bootstrap path floor: strip_native_namespace, credential_store and windows_system_root are shared between the bootstrap and scope floors so both agree on system-root protection; critique and security flagged a possible POSIX-root-preserving issue with the Windows namespace stripping in crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path.rs. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path.rs#pub(super) fn floor(path: &str) -> bool {, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_scope.rs)
• Modified — Contract version bump to 1.1 and advertised method list expansion: Hosts see the new vocabulary; the module advertises the four new path members alongside Evaluate, Check and PolicyInfo. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/lib.rs, crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/names.rs, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter.rs#tinybus_module::module_export! {)

Tests

• wire-contract — Golden serialization shapes for PathValidationRequest, PathPolicy, PathCheckRequest and all PathValidationResult variants; rejection of unknown fields, unknown kinds and incomplete payloads; provider version (1,0) is incompatible.: Pins stable native wire shapes and malformed-invocation rejection at the bus contract boundary. (crates/tinysecurity-bus/tests/path_wire.rs)
• unit — Registry rejects malformed/relative roots and exceptions outside reservations, unknown scope IDs fail, the 1024-scope limit fails closed while existing scopes remain usable, entropy failure and collisions fail closed, and each root kind must be native absolute.: Covers registry validation, fail-closed exhaustion and scope-stability invariants. (crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_registry_tests.rs)
• example/verification — The native loader verifier example registers a real scope, validates read and prospective write paths, checks the protected floor and verifies the scope survives accepted SDK reinitialization; CI additionally runs the verifier outside the workspace root on macOS/Unix and Windows.: End-to-end verification against a real module artifact is wired into the existing example flow and CI. (crates/tinysecurity-module/examples/verify_module.rs#async fn verify_reconfiguration(, .github/workflows/ci.yml#jobs:)

Findings

• high · critique · Keep PathScope construction behind the registry — This contract test bypasses `PathPolicyRegistry` and constructs a scope directly. The registry is documented as the host-authorized boundary, so retaining direct construction here (crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs:80)
• high · critique · Protect all system roots in the unconditional floor — This contract test only checks `/etc`, but the current unconditional `protected_path` floor still excludes installation roots such as `/usr`, `/bin`, `/sbin`, `/lib`, `/lib64`, `/l (crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs:32)
• high · critique · Authorize callers before registering path policies — The registry still accepts a policy from any caller that can obtain `PathPolicyRegistry`; registration itself performs no caller authorization. That permits an untrusted in-process (crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs:17)

Agent review details

critique

• Conclusion: Failure
• Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
• Lane summary: The contract tests cover the resolution, namespace, protected-path, and policy-boundary cases added by this revision. The change is not safe to merge while the unconditional floor still omits installation roots and policy registration remains unauthenticated. (1 finding added by a second pass) (19 earlier finding(s) still open) _The code index for this repository is cold, so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._
• Evidence: crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs — Keep PathScope construction behind the registry
• Evidence: crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs — Protect all system roots in the unconditional floor
• Evidence: crates/tinysecurity\-policy/src/path\_scope\_contract\_tests\.rs — Authorize callers before registering path policies

security

• Conclusion: Success
• Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
• Positive: The registry lock is held only while cloning an immutable scope handle; all filesystem I/O runs on blocking workers, so a stalled mount cannot block the module runtime or other agents.
• Positive: Existing target symlinks are resolved on write validation so a writable alias cannot turn a read-only grant into write access, and broken symlinks and permission errors fail closed; identifiers are 256-bit OS-entropy values, fixing the earlier guessable-identifier finding.
• Lane summary: The contract-test additions exercise the revised path-policy invariants without introducing production behavior or new security exposure. The change looks safe to merge. (3 earlier finding(s) still open) _The code index for this repository is cold, so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

tests

• Conclusion: Success
• Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
• Positive: Stated invariants are pinned by real tests: registry bounds and fail-closed behavior, malformed roots, symlink and broken-symlink denials, read-only grants, disabled-scope floor, entropy-failure and collision tests, and a concurrency test that fails if a stalled query retains the registry lock.
• Lane summary: The new contract test file exercises real behaviour through registry-issued scopes: protected categories, namespace-prefix preservation, symlink fail-closed paths, Windows alias folding, tilde/parent validation, and forbidden-root semantics. All previously raised findings — unguessable identifiers, candidate resolution before containment, full system-root floor, POSIX namespace preservation, registry-gated construction, caller authorization for registration, and off-runtime blocking registration — are fixed in the current code and their tests pin the invariants. Safe to merge from this reviewer's side. (2 earlier finding(s) still open) _The code index for this repository is cold, so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

description

• Conclusion: Success
• Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
• Positive: The description matches the diff: contract 1.1 path-scope methods, immutable registry, blocking-worker execution, symlink/floor handling and the shared floor refactor are all present and correctly described.
• Lane summary: This revision adds a contract test suite covering the previously raised concerns: platform-native protected paths, POSIX namespace preservation, registry-only scope construction (still used in tests where the crate boundary is already crossed, which the tests exercise via get_owned in scope()), fail-closed broken symlinks with policy on and off, tilde-write filename rules, stream/trailing-dot alias denial, and workspace precedence. The earlier findings — floor coverage, candidate resolution, unguessable identifiers, registry gating, registration off the async worker, native test paths — are all addressed in the current code. The change looks sound and safe to merge. (2 earlier finding(s) still open) _The code index for this repository is cold, so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

This change adds Contract 1.1 filesystem scope operations. It defines immutable path policies, registers and validates scopes, applies native path checks, and exposes the operations through the module bus.

Changes

Native Filesystem Scopes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Scope contracts and registration crates/tinysecurity-bus/src/*, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_registry*, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/lib.rs, Cargo.toml, crates/tinysecurity-policy/Cargo.toml, MODULE.md, README.md, docs/specs/immutable-path-scopes.md	The bus adds serializable policy, validation, and check types, and advertises the four filesystem methods under Contract 1.1. The registry validates policy paths, reuses IDs for equal policies in one registry, and rejects registration beyond 1024 scopes.
Path resolution and authorization crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path.rs, crates/tinysecurity-policy/src/path_scope*	The policy crate adds native path resolution and checks for protected paths, reservations, trusted roots, read-only paths, workspace rules, and forbidden paths. Tests cover prospective writes, symlinks, and platform-specific paths.
Module dispatch and verification crates/tinysecurity-module/Cargo.toml, crates/tinysecurity-module/src/adapter*, crates/tinysecurity-module/examples/verify_module.rs, .github/workflows/ci.yml	PolicyService exposes the new methods and runs filesystem operations on blocking workers. Tests and the native loader verifier exercise dispatch, scope persistence after reinitialization, and path results. CI runs the built verifier on Windows and non-Windows runners.

Propagate metadata errors while resolving ancestors

When canonicalize() reports NotFound but this metadata probe reports PermissionDenied or another I/O error, .is_ok() is false and the component is incorrectly treated as nonexistent. On ACL-constrained or inconsistent network filesystems this can reconstruct an apparently safe path through an existing, uninspectable symlink or reparse point and authorize it; fresh evidence after the target-metadata fix is that this separate probe still discards its error. Continue upward only when symlink_metadata() itself returns NotFound, and propagate every other error.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[chatgpt-codex-connector]

Resolve broad forbidden roots before exempting the workspace

When an absolute forbidden root contains the workspace through a symlink alias, this exemption compares the canonical workspace with the unresolved alias and misses the containment. within_denied() then canonicalizes that same forbidden root and rejects every workspace path, contrary to the preserved broad-root behavior in docs/specs/immutable-path-scopes.md:55-57; for example, a forbidden /alias pointing to /parent revokes workspace /parent/project. Apply the containing-workspace check to the resolved forbidden root as well.

Keep PathScope construction behind the registry

This contract test bypasses PathPolicyRegistry and constructs a scope directly. The registry is documented as the host-authorized boundary, so retaining direct construction here keeps the bypassed construction path in active use and fails to enforce the intended invariant that scopes are created and retrieved only through the registry. Build this test scope through a registry and retrieve it by its registered ID instead.

Protect all system roots in the unconditional floor

This contract test only checks /etc, but the current unconditional protected_path floor still excludes installation roots such as /usr, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /lib64, /library, and /dev. A disabled policy can therefore validate an existing target such as /usr/bin/env as allowed, even though it is a system-owned path. Extend the unconditional floor to cover those roots rather than leaving them to configurable forbidden paths. This is a late finding because the implementation was not changed by this pull request.

[RULE] protected-system-root ·

[tinysweeper]

Authorize callers before registering path policies

The registry still accepts a policy from any caller that can obtain PathPolicyRegistry; registration itself performs no caller authorization. That permits an untrusted in-process caller to create a scope with arbitrary workspace, trusted, or forbidden roots and then use it for validation. The registry must be reachable only through an authenticated host boundary, or registration must require an authorization capability. This is a late finding because the registration API was not changed by this pull request.
