From d52968876a7995ffe68b19db0f14cfa44779deca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dtoro Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 09:28:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat: general gated `run` primitive + chat-assent approval (Layer 0) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements the first slice of plans/2026-07-10-general-gated-execution.md: Nomos gets one general execution tool instead of only a fixed action enum, gated by an automatic risk classifier, and approval can be granted by the operator just replying in chat instead of clicking a button. - internal/policy/command.go: ClassifyCommand(cmd, declaredRisk) — rule-based read-only allowlist + destructive denylist, default-escalate to config_mutation for anything else. Classification can only ESCALATE the caller's declared risk, never de-escalate it (destructive always wins even if declared read_only). Compound commands (&&, ;, |, $()) never qualify for the read-only fast path. Full test corpus. - internal/mcp/server.go: new `run` MCP tool — target (host:/lxc:), command, purpose, optional declared_risk. Read-only commands execute immediately; everything else queues an approval exactly like pct_create today, executed via httpapi's existing executeApprovedAction. Also fixes a real latent bug: pct_exec resolved an LXC's host attribute without the "host:" prefix, so it could never find the Proxmox host — new resolveExecTarget/resolveRunTarget helpers (mcp + httpapi) fix this for both the new `run` action and existing actions that route through the same execution path. - internal/httpapi/phase3.go: "run" case in executeApprovedAction; fixes two bugs found while wiring this up — (1) DecideApproval hardcoded risk_class to 'config_mutation' on every approve, silently corrupting the audit ledger for every other risk class; (2) denying/revoking an approval never updated the linked execution's status, so it stayed 'pending_approval' forever instead of reflecting the decision. - cmd/nomos/assent.go: deterministic (not LLM-judged) chat-assent detection. Scoped to the immediately-preceding assistant turn's pending approvals only — an old "yes" can't retroactively approve something new. Destructive-risk actions are excluded from loose assent. Approves via the same HTTP decision endpoint the UI button calls, so both paths share one audit trail. - web/.../InlineApproval.svelte: self-healing poll — a pending approval card now picks up being decided via ANY path (chat assent, Ops page, Matrix), not just its own button. Previously the banner stayed stuck showing Approve/Deny even after the action had already run elsewhere. - nomos/SOUL.md: `run` is now the general capability ("no fixed menu, only a risk gate"); documents chat-assent behavior and the destructive exception.
