/** * CFG-27 (CFG-26 rework) — the **auto-rater**: the LLM that rates a pending `run_shell_command` * before it executes, sitting *in front of* the human approval prompt (EXT-9). It is consulted at * exactly two of the five rungs — `assisted` and `auto` (see `APPROVAL_RUNGS`); `manual`, * `write` and `bypass` are fully deterministic and never pay for a model call. * * NOTE ON THE NAME: "judge" is reserved for the **eval grader** (`gth eval --judge `, * `@gaunt-sloth/batch`) — a different concept. This module is the approvals rater. * * Validated prior art (both place the rater in front of the human prompt as an auto-approve * fatigue-reducer): openclaw `exec-auto-reviewer.ts` and hermes-agent `approval.py` "smart" mode. * * Two hardening guarantees are baked in here: * * 1. **Prompt-injection defense.** The command is attacker-controlled text. It is normalized * (reusing {@link normalizeCommand} + home-path folding) and embedded inside an XML * `` tag, behind a preamble that states the tagged text is UNTRUSTED * DATA to be analyzed, never instructions to follow. See {@link buildRaterPrompt}. **[[EXT-127]] * — the command is the ONLY thing admitted, at every rung and every round.** No justification, no * transcript, no user messages, no tool output, no file contents, no fetched pages: this module * rates a command, and the question of whether the user asked for it belongs to the alignment * checker ({@link @gaunt-sloth/core!core/shell/alignment.runAlignmentCheck | runAlignmentCheck}), where it is assembled across * message roles instead of stacked into this prompt. * 2. **Fail-closed on error.** If the LLM call throws, times out, or returns unparseable * output, the verdict returned NEVER auto-approves — it is `destructive` with an honest * "could not assess" reason. A rater failure can never silently green-light a command. * See {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}. * * A command whose target the gate cannot statically resolve is RATED like any other ([[EXT-81]]), * carrying a neutral note about the shape the parser saw ({@link buildParserPreflightNote}). It is * not an action, not a floor, and not a reason to skip the call. * * Mirrors the QA-3 rating substrate (`packages/review/src/middleware/reviewRateMiddleware.ts`): * structured-output evaluation over `config.llm`, wrapped in try/catch. * * @module */ import type { BaseChatModel } from '@langchain/core/language_models/chat_models'; import * as z from 'zod'; import type { ApprovalRung, GthConfig } from '#src/config.js'; import type { AlignmentDecision } from '#src/core/shell/alignment.js'; import type { EffectiveToolAnnotations } from '#src/core/approvals/matcher.js'; import { type RaterCallCapture } from '#src/core/shell/approvalCapture.js'; import type { PreflightFloorKind, RaterAction, RaterOutcome } from '#src/core/shell/raterVocabulary.js'; /** * The gate's closed vocabularies are defined in {@link @gaunt-sloth/core!core/shell/raterVocabulary | raterVocabulary.js} — a leaf module with no * imports, so a checker can read the words without loading this file's model layer.

Where no floor applies, a `destructive` rating is a real negotiation the agent can win * by narrowing the command, and this returns true for it exactly as before. * * @param provenance The user's own retained messages — see {@link RaterDecisionOptions.provenance}. * **Defaulted to nothing**, so a caller with no session (`gth eval`'s rater target) reads the * floor exactly as it did before this parameter existed. */ export declare function isNegotiableCall(rung: ApprovalRung, command: string, provenance?: readonly string[]): boolean; /** * CFG-27 — pure, testable mapping from a {@link ShellSafetyVerdict} + the raw command to a * {@link RaterAction}, keyed on the **rung** (spec §4.2, §8): * * | Outcome | `manual`/`write` | `assisted` | `auto` | `bypass` | * |---|---|---|---|---| * | — (no rating) | escalate | | | approve | * | `safe` | — | approve | approve | — | * | `destructive` | — | escalate | **reject** — §5's negotiation ([[EXT-29]]); **escalate** when a preflight floors the command and §4.6's carve-out did not lift it ([[EXT-106]]), and **escalate** when the gate never obtained a rating at all ([[EXT-171]], `opts.failClosedCause`) | — | * | `catastrophic` | — | escalate | escalate — **never negotiate** | — | * | `attack` | — | **halt** | **halt** | — | * * **[[EXT-81]] — there is no longer a row cutting across that column.** A command whose target the * gate cannot statically resolve used to return `abstain` here, before the `safe` check and after * the two severe outcomes. It is now rated like any other command, carrying a neutral note about * the shape the parser saw ({@link buildParserPreflightNote}), and this table is the whole mapping * again. The table gained nothing it did not have: what it LOST is a branch that made * `catastrophic` and `attack` unreachable for every composed, substituting or redirecting command. * * Order of precedence (fail-closed FIRST — **this ordering IS the safety property**): * * 1. `bypass` → `approve`. The gate is off. The declared deny list and the exec-time hardline * floor still apply, but neither is decided here. * 2. Unrated rungs (`manual`, `write`) → `escalate`. No model is consulted at all; the * allow-list is checked by the caller BEFORE this function, so reaching here means the human * decides. (The two rungs behave identically here, and that is not a missing branch: what * separates them is which tools they auto-grant, decided once in `resolveGatedToolNames` when the * gated set is built. A call that reaches this function is already one the rung did not grant, * and the shell — this function's only subject — is granted by neither.) * 3. **The deterministic preflight FINDINGS, which FLOOR the outcome at `destructive` and never * lower one** (`preflightFloorReason`): the script-env-leak preflight * ({@link hasScriptEnvLeakRisk}) and EXT-61's open-world preflight * ({@link findOpenWorldHostLiterals} — a host literal in a fetch/transfer position, §4.6). Both * are recomputed from the RAW command, independently of what the rater said — the open-world arm * additionally against `opts.provenance`, since [[EXT-106]] §4.6 lifts it where the user named * every host in the command themselves ({@link effectivePreflightFloorFinding}). Either rewrites a * verdict that sits BELOW the floor — i.e. `safe`, and only `safe` * ({@link isBelowDestructiveFloor}) — to `destructive` with an honest reason, **before the `safe` * check**, so a manipulated `safe` verdict can never slip one of them through. **A rater verdict * may only ever make an outcome worse, never better**, and so may a preflight: `destructive`, * `catastrophic` and `attack` all pass through UNCHANGED. (Before the rescale this branch * excluded the single halting outcome BY NAME. Renamed in place it would have let a preflight hit * *downgrade* a `catastrophic` verdict to `destructive` — the exact inverse of the invariant * above, silently trading an unnegotiable escalation for a negotiable one at `auto`.) * 4. `attack` → `halt`, at both rated rungs, never negotiable. * 5. `catastrophic` → `escalate`, and MUST NOT enter §5's negotiation. * 6. `safe` → `approve`; `destructive` → `escalate` at `assisted`, and at `auto` either `reject` * (§5's negotiation, [[EXT-29]]) or — when a floor in (3) APPLIES to this command — `escalate`, * because [[EXT-106]] §3 will not open a negotiation whose outcome (3) has already decided. The * test is {@link isNegotiableCall}, shared with the rating prompt, and it is given the same * provenance (3) is: a command §4.6's carve-out lifted the floor from can reach `approve` again, * so it is negotiable again. * * **[[EXT-171]] — and `escalate` too when the gate never obtained a rating** * ({@link RaterDecisionOptions.failClosedCause}). A negotiation hands the command back to the * AGENT to argue about, and there is nothing to argue with: no model looked at this command. An * absence of judgement must not be laundered into a judgement, so it goes to the human — which * is what `assisted` already did with it, and the reason nobody saw this at all. This clause * sits INSIDE step 6 rather than above it: `attack` still halts and `catastrophic` still * escalates unnegotiably, so the fail-closed-first ordering above is unchanged, and a cause * arriving alongside either of those outcomes is decided by the stricter arm. * * **The gate never decides for itself that a shell command is "equivalent" to a built-in and * substitutes it.** Any such equivalence test would be a second command parser, and a second * command parser is a second place for the gate to be bypassed. Nothing the rater returns may * redirect a call to a different tool: the action here is a function of the outcome, the rung and * the preflights, and the verdict's own text travels to the human (§6) and to the model (§7) as an * explanation, never as an instruction. * * @param command The raw command string (used to recompute ambiguity + preflight independently * of the rater, so the gate is robust even if the rater is wrong or manipulated). * @param verdict The rater's verdict (or {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}); `undefined` at the unrated * rungs. A missing verdict at a RATED rung is treated as {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}. * @param opts The rung in force, [[EXT-106]] §4.6's user provenance — see * {@link RaterDecisionOptions.provenance}, whose default floors exactly as before — and * [[EXT-171]]'s {@link RaterDecisionOptions.failClosedCause}, whose default negotiates exactly as * before. **A caller that passes neither behaves precisely as it did**, which is what makes both * additions reviewable. */ export declare function mapVerdictToAction(command: string, verdict: ShellSafetyVerdict | undefined, opts: RaterDecisionOptions): RaterDecision; /** * EXT-71 §3.2 — the mapping for a call an **allow entry already matched** while keeping the rater * involved (`rate: true`).
