fix(security): isolate NIM proposer from shell execution

[seonghobae]

Purpose

Remove proposal-controlled execution from the credential-bearing NVIDIA NIM proposer while preserving complete executable verification in the separate fresh, uncredentialed verifier job.

Exact identities

• protected/live base: 006d7bccb7f2e8b5a59b517df660888ff9cadafd
• original proposal-policy RED head: 8a5c70a9d30213713aa062c8819a251895f00090
• first shell-denial GREEN head: d79cb4e7b37557ee4b354501c1bc5fef494c7664
• proposer-execution RED contract: 07febd1b0d380f31d729ec8415eee61f84566e4d
• proposer-execution GREEN implementation: 866f8f3bc5097efb36a8f08abfb69ccee88c74f9
• current protected-base exact head: 3d75c699ff24b8556ca766334caaeb9c181cd3e5
• branch: fix/nim-proposer-shell-isolation-563fa

Trust-boundary contract

• OpenCode's credential-bearing proposer policy uses exact "bash": "deny";
• the proposer prompt may create source and test changes but must not claim to execute tests, package scripts, Git commands, or shell commands;
• the proposer records the expected pre-implementation RED condition and explicitly requests npm run release:verify from the separate verifier;
• the credential-bearing proposer runner stages, bounds, hashes, and uploads the patch but does not execute any proposed package command;
• a separate uncredentialed job authenticates and applies the immutable proposal on a fresh runner, installs exact-base dependencies without lifecycle scripts, and executes the sole workflow command line npm run release:verify;
• the verifier job receives neither the NVIDIA NIM credential nor the Maintainer App private key;
• the credential-bearing publisher reconstructs the verified immutable artifact without executing proposed code.

Focused contract tests bind all three authority planes, require the exact verifier command in the proposal contract, assert that the proposer job contains no npm run command, and fail if shell permission, model-side execution claims, or credential disclosure return.

Review remediation

The prior high-risk finding was valid: the proposer runner still executed npm run release:verify after OpenCode changed the working tree. The command and misleading step name were removed from the proposer in 866f8f3bc5097efb36a8f08abfb69ccee88c74f9. The remaining review request to name the verifier command explicitly was implemented test-first in 23f97bcc0120e0f1314a37e8f1d205c5029f5b44 and 3d75c699ff24b8556ca766334caaeb9c181cd3e5 without reintroducing executable authority.

Verification boundary

Historical checks do not transfer. The unchanged current head must obtain fresh terminal-success application ci, reviewer-ci, protected-base central Security Scan, and zero valid unresolved findings before merge. Pending, queued, skipped, absent, stale, status-only, model-only, or predecessor evidence is non-passing.

No force update, gate weakening, self-approval, secret/reviewer invention, repair/self-modifying workflow, outbound-license decision, release, deployment, or fabricated production evidence is introduced.

This is the narrow current-main successor for the NIM shell-isolation slice only; stale #80 retains separate atomic-publisher concerns.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8550b

The credential-bearing proposer still executes the proposed artifact before the isolated verifier runs, which can expose secrets or privileged authority to proposal-controlled code. The PR is not safe to merge until that execution is removed and the required verifier command is explicitly enforced.

the separate uncredentialed verifier must explicitly execute npm run
release:verify, while preserving the condition that the proposer must not
execute or claim to have executed that command.

In `@test/hourly-product-development-nim-shell-isolation.test.ts`:
- Around line 46-58: Remove the npm run release:verify invocation from the
propose_product_increment job, while keeping executable verification in
package_product_increment. Extend the existing test to assert that the proposer
slice does not contain npm run release:verify, preserving the current
fresh-verifier and credential non-disclosure assertions.
