hermes: add a fail-closed full-handoff acceptance harness Decides whether the Hermes platform handoff is fit to release, and refuses to round an absence of evidence up to a pass. The harness is read-only by default and classifies 71 checks PASS / FAIL / NOT_RUN / NOT_APPLICABLE. Any mandatory FAIL or NOT_RUN is NO_GO, and so is a harness-level problem: an unreachable vantage, a catalog entry whose evidence no longer exists, an expired deadline, or an evaluator that raised. Evidence comes from two vantages that cannot cover for each other: an external read-only operator kubeconfig, and the Hermes agent probing itself from inside its own pod. Before any check runs, the harness asks each vantage who it is and stops if they are the same principal, because dual-vantage evidence from one identity is a restatement rather than a corroboration. `--as` is rejected for every operator-side command and reachable only as the inner command of a `kubectl exec`, so impersonation can never stand in for a real self-probe. A deny check needs a live refused request, not only an authorization review. Two safety properties are structural rather than conventional, enforced where an argv becomes a subprocess: the default mode mutates nothing (mutating verbs require a server dry run; there is deliberately no live TokenRequest probe, because a successful one would mint a real credential), and no probe can pull a credential value into a report (no vault/sops/curl, secrets readable only with -o name, environment probes list names, shell only through frozen reviewed templates). Captures are bounded before they are screened, and the rendered report is re-screened before it is written. Mutation lives behind a separate arming flag with an exact confirmation phrase, a caller-supplied unique ref, a preflight that refuses a protected push target before any network call, and a cleanup whose verification is itself mandatory. A default run reports those four checks NOT_RUN. The catalog is declarative so a reviewer reads what is asserted rather than how it is plumbed, and so structural properties can be proven over every entry before a run. Catalog drift surfaces as NOT_RUN, which stops the release. docs/hermes_full_handoff_acceptance.md carries the merge order for PRs #14-#18 on top of the merged #13 baseline, the image build and Flux rollout, the rollback point for each step, the go/no-go checklist, and the limits that are asserted rather than exercised. Validation: 295 handoff tests pass with 100% line coverage on all 15 new modules; the full unit suite is 647 passed with two failures that reproduce unchanged on origin/main; Ruff, py_compile, kustomize render, and a diff credential screen are clean; a live read-only run against Atlas returns NO_GO for the pre-merge cluster with no unscreened fields in the report.

"""Orchestration for the Hermes full-handoff acceptance harness.
Three things happen before any check runs, and each of them can stop the run on
its own:
* the catalog is validated structurally every rule exists, every live-denial

* each vantage is resolved and asked who it is; and
* the operator and in-pod identities are compared. If they are the same
principal there is only one vantage, the dual-vantage evidence would be a
restatement rather than a corroboration, and the run is a NO_GO.
Everything after that is uniform: run a check's steps against its vantage, hand
the outcomes to the named evaluator, and record the classification. A vantage
that could not be resolved yields ``NOT_RUN`` for every check that needs it,
which is exactly the fail-closed answer.

fix(hermes): close the zero-evidence fail-open in absence checks evaluate_names_absent returned PASS when its step exited 0 with no output, so five mandatory checks - the ones asserting that provider API keys, forge credentials, a cluster-admin binding, and shared coordinator state are absent - could report a pass on no evidence and turn a NO_GO into a GO. Both name rules now resolve their step through one guard in _line_step, so zero observations are NOT_RUN. Regressions pin all five real catalog specs plus both reachable silence paths: a POSIX pipeline whose status comes from its last stage, and a drifted kubectl -o jsonpath. The pool claim projection emits one <volume>=<claim> line per template volume so a volume without a PVC still counts as an observation rather than reading as drift. Also closes the review's reachable hardening and evidence defects: - pin Gitea paths to atlas/titan-iac on an exact segment boundary and reject relative segments, including percent-encoded ones - forbid impersonation structurally in every mode and vantage; the inner command of kubectl exec is re-checked rather than exempted, and validate_catalog no longer guards only the operator vantage - drop flux and helm from the binary allowlist; they had no pinned release digest, so no allowlisted binary can now be admitted that the executor would refuse to attest - remove the inert --concurrency and --expect-telegram-sessions flags and the dead concurrency bound; Telegram continuity stays mandatory - read the ephemeral pull index page by page, treat the create response as an authoritative source for the pull number, close every number either source names, and surface residue_ref plus exact manual_cleanup commands when creation is uncertain - keep executable_path and executable_sha256 on unrecorded bulk-evidence steps so withholding bytes never withholds binary attestation - revert the repo-wide hygiene legacy-exception mechanism; the contract change here is purely additive and the four pre-existing over-cap files are left to the canonical contract change in PR #14/#15 - correct the runbook ruff format scope so the documented command passes Split hermes_handoff_arming.py out of hermes_handoff_ephemeral.py to keep both modules under the 500-line cap. All 16 handoff modules hold at least 95% line and branch coverage; the mutation gate is 13/13. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

hermes: add a fail-closed full-handoff acceptance harness Decides whether the Hermes platform handoff is fit to release, and refuses to round an absence of evidence up to a pass. The harness is read-only by default and classifies 71 checks PASS / FAIL / NOT_RUN / NOT_APPLICABLE. Any mandatory FAIL or NOT_RUN is NO_GO, and so is a harness-level problem: an unreachable vantage, a catalog entry whose evidence no longer exists, an expired deadline, or an evaluator that raised. Evidence comes from two vantages that cannot cover for each other: an external read-only operator kubeconfig, and the Hermes agent probing itself from inside its own pod. Before any check runs, the harness asks each vantage who it is and stops if they are the same principal, because dual-vantage evidence from one identity is a restatement rather than a corroboration. `--as` is rejected for every operator-side command and reachable only as the inner command of a `kubectl exec`, so impersonation can never stand in for a real self-probe. A deny check needs a live refused request, not only an authorization review. Two safety properties are structural rather than conventional, enforced where an argv becomes a subprocess: the default mode mutates nothing (mutating verbs require a server dry run; there is deliberately no live TokenRequest probe, because a successful one would mint a real credential), and no probe can pull a credential value into a report (no vault/sops/curl, secrets readable only with -o name, environment probes list names, shell only through frozen reviewed templates). Captures are bounded before they are screened, and the rendered report is re-screened before it is written. Mutation lives behind a separate arming flag with an exact confirmation phrase, a caller-supplied unique ref, a preflight that refuses a protected push target before any network call, and a cleanup whose verification is itself mandatory. A default run reports those four checks NOT_RUN. The catalog is declarative so a reviewer reads what is asserted rather than how it is plumbed, and so structural properties can be proven over every entry before a run. Catalog drift surfaces as NOT_RUN, which stops the release. docs/hermes_full_handoff_acceptance.md carries the merge order for PRs #14-#18 on top of the merged #13 baseline, the image build and Flux rollout, the rollback point for each step, the go/no-go checklist, and the limits that are asserted rather than exercised. Validation: 295 handoff tests pass with 100% line coverage on all 15 new modules; the full unit suite is 647 passed with two failures that reproduce unchanged on origin/main; Ruff, py_compile, kustomize render, and a diff credential screen are clean; a live read-only run against Atlas returns NO_GO for the pre-merge cluster with no unscreened fields in the report.

hermes: add a fail-closed full-handoff acceptance harness Decides whether the Hermes platform handoff is fit to release, and refuses to round an absence of evidence up to a pass. The harness is read-only by default and classifies 71 checks PASS / FAIL / NOT_RUN / NOT_APPLICABLE. Any mandatory FAIL or NOT_RUN is NO_GO, and so is a harness-level problem: an unreachable vantage, a catalog entry whose evidence no longer exists, an expired deadline, or an evaluator that raised. Evidence comes from two vantages that cannot cover for each other: an external read-only operator kubeconfig, and the Hermes agent probing itself from inside its own pod. Before any check runs, the harness asks each vantage who it is and stops if they are the same principal, because dual-vantage evidence from one identity is a restatement rather than a corroboration. `--as` is rejected for every operator-side command and reachable only as the inner command of a `kubectl exec`, so impersonation can never stand in for a real self-probe. A deny check needs a live refused request, not only an authorization review. Two safety properties are structural rather than conventional, enforced where an argv becomes a subprocess: the default mode mutates nothing (mutating verbs require a server dry run; there is deliberately no live TokenRequest probe, because a successful one would mint a real credential), and no probe can pull a credential value into a report (no vault/sops/curl, secrets readable only with -o name, environment probes list names, shell only through frozen reviewed templates). Captures are bounded before they are screened, and the rendered report is re-screened before it is written. Mutation lives behind a separate arming flag with an exact confirmation phrase, a caller-supplied unique ref, a preflight that refuses a protected push target before any network call, and a cleanup whose verification is itself mandatory. A default run reports those four checks NOT_RUN.

fix(hermes): close the zero-evidence fail-open in absence checks evaluate_names_absent returned PASS when its step exited 0 with no output, so five mandatory checks - the ones asserting that provider API keys, forge credentials, a cluster-admin binding, and shared coordinator state are absent - could report a pass on no evidence and turn a NO_GO into a GO. Both name rules now resolve their step through one guard in _line_step, so zero observations are NOT_RUN. Regressions pin all five real catalog specs plus both reachable silence paths: a POSIX pipeline whose status comes from its last stage, and a drifted kubectl -o jsonpath. The pool claim projection emits one <volume>=<claim> line per template volume so a volume without a PVC still counts as an observation rather than reading as drift. Also closes the review's reachable hardening and evidence defects: - pin Gitea paths to atlas/titan-iac on an exact segment boundary and reject relative segments, including percent-encoded ones - forbid impersonation structurally in every mode and vantage; the inner command of kubectl exec is re-checked rather than exempted, and validate_catalog no longer guards only the operator vantage - drop flux and helm from the binary allowlist; they had no pinned release digest, so no allowlisted binary can now be admitted that the executor would refuse to attest - remove the inert --concurrency and --expect-telegram-sessions flags and the dead concurrency bound; Telegram continuity stays mandatory - read the ephemeral pull index page by page, treat the create response as an authoritative source for the pull number, close every number either source names, and surface residue_ref plus exact manual_cleanup commands when creation is uncertain - keep executable_path and executable_sha256 on unrecorded bulk-evidence steps so withholding bytes never withholds binary attestation - revert the repo-wide hygiene legacy-exception mechanism; the contract change here is purely additive and the four pre-existing over-cap files are left to the canonical contract change in PR #14/#15 - correct the runbook ruff format scope so the documented command passes Split hermes_handoff_arming.py out of hermes_handoff_ephemeral.py to keep both modules under the 500-line cap. All 16 handoff modules hold at least 95% line and branch coverage; the mutation gate is 13/13. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

hermes: add a fail-closed full-handoff acceptance harness Decides whether the Hermes platform handoff is fit to release, and refuses to round an absence of evidence up to a pass. The harness is read-only by default and classifies 71 checks PASS / FAIL / NOT_RUN / NOT_APPLICABLE. Any mandatory FAIL or NOT_RUN is NO_GO, and so is a harness-level problem: an unreachable vantage, a catalog entry whose evidence no longer exists, an expired deadline, or an evaluator that raised. Evidence comes from two vantages that cannot cover for each other: an external read-only operator kubeconfig, and the Hermes agent probing itself from inside its own pod. Before any check runs, the harness asks each vantage who it is and stops if they are the same principal, because dual-vantage evidence from one identity is a restatement rather than a corroboration. `--as` is rejected for every operator-side command and reachable only as the inner command of a `kubectl exec`, so impersonation can never stand in for a real self-probe. A deny check needs a live refused request, not only an authorization review. Two safety properties are structural rather than conventional, enforced where an argv becomes a subprocess: the default mode mutates nothing (mutating verbs require a server dry run; there is deliberately no live TokenRequest probe, because a successful one would mint a real credential), and no probe can pull a credential value into a report (no vault/sops/curl, secrets readable only with -o name, environment probes list names, shell only through frozen reviewed templates). Captures are bounded before they are screened, and the rendered report is re-screened before it is written. Mutation lives behind a separate arming flag with an exact confirmation phrase, a caller-supplied unique ref, a preflight that refuses a protected push target before any network call, and a cleanup whose verification is itself mandatory. A default run reports those four checks NOT_RUN. The catalog is declarative so a reviewer reads what is asserted rather than how it is plumbed, and so structural properties can be proven over every entry before a run. Catalog drift surfaces as NOT_RUN, which stops the release. docs/hermes_full_handoff_acceptance.md carries the merge order for PRs #14-#18 on top of the merged #13 baseline, the image build and Flux rollout, the rollback point for each step, the go/no-go checklist, and the limits that are asserted rather than exercised. Validation: 295 handoff tests pass with 100% line coverage on all 15 new modules; the full unit suite is 647 passed with two failures that reproduce unchanged on origin/main; Ruff, py_compile, kustomize render, and a diff credential screen are clean; a live read-only run against Atlas returns NO_GO for the pre-merge cluster with no unscreened fields in the report.
