From 1be8d733c3763f861d22621e1aa58bf02f78973c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mavis Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:49:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/30] feat(agent-registry): register PMOVES-MiniMax-MCP as the MiniMax model surface The MCP server is the model-side counterpart of the Mavis harness v0: WebUI/Agent-Zero call it directly via stdio; the sidecar lane (Pinokio on operator devices) calls the same surface via Pmoves-minimax-cli. Three surfaces updated to match the existing mcp_servers convention: - pmoves/config/agent_registry.yaml: pmoves_minimax_mcp entry under mcp_servers (status: active, transport: stdio, command: uvx). The harness v0 follow-ups registered the SKILL surface in pmoves/configs/submodule_skill_registry.json:770; this entry is the discovery-plane twin that lets rooms and rooms-tools find the server by name. - .claude/mcp.json: pmoves-minimax-mcp entry with command/args/env matching the submodule's pyproject.toml entry point (minimax_mcp.server:main). Env vars follow the demo config: API key + host + resource_mode.

Consumer forks (PMOVES-hermes-agent, PMOVES-pinokio) read this profile at init and use the mcps + services blocks to wire their own tool surfaces. Two changes to example.cgp.yaml: - mcps: add pmoves-minimax-mcp so a consumer can stand up the model surface as one of its MCP servers without re-discovering the registry. - services: add a minimax: block that names the 3 submodules by their canonical paths and binds the sidecar lane to Pmoves-pinokio. This gives the operator a single place to point at when wiring the model cascade - the entry that was missing between the registry row and the runtime wire-up. The harness v0 follow-ups (PR #2568) consumed the new submodules from their hardcoded list; this commit makes the CGP profile a true source of truth, so when a future fork (e.g. a KiloCode sidecar or a NOT-YET-STOOD-UP Hermes-via-Pinokio bridge) loads the bootstrap it inherits the minimax surface for free.

Audience: an operator adding a new MiniMax-compatible provider (Want to add openrouter-minimax? Follow the recipe in §1-3), a reviewer deciding whether to accept a new provider entry, and a future CI maintainer wiring the gate into python-tests.yml. The doc also captures the 'what this is NOT' section: not a load test, not a security test, not a model-quality test.

The submodule is already initialized in PMOVES.AI; you don't need to re-clone. + +### 1. Stage a `provider.json` + +The verifier reads a `provider.json` (JSONL of `{name, model, base_url, api_key, extra_body?}` records).

The verifier passes it through unchanged. + +### 2. Run `verify.py` + +```bash +cd Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier +python verify.py --providers ./provider.json --output-dir ./output-dir +``` + +Or use the batch runner for multiple providers in sequence: + +```bash +bash run_batch_sequential.sh ./provider.json ./output-dir +``` + +`--output-dir` defaults to the bundled `output-dir/`. Each provider's results land in a subdirectory named after the provider. + +### 3. Read the results + +For each provider, the verifier writes: +- `summary.json` — the six metric scores + a pass/fail per metric + an overall verdict +- `tool_call_logs.jsonl` — every tool-call attempt with the model's intended call, the schema validator's verdict, and the per-case error +- `trigger_comparison.json` — the F1 score against the official deployment, broken down by category + +The overall verdict is "PASS" if all six metrics clear the thresholds; "FAIL" if any one misses; "REVIEW" if all pass but the deltas to official are > 5% on any metric. + +## Gate in CI + +The Mavis model-cascade CI (not yet wired — see "Follow-up" below) will run the verifier on every PR that touches `pmoves/contracts/providers/` or that adds a new entry to the `pmoves_minimax_mcp` provider block. A FAIL verdict blocks merge; a REVIEW verdict requires operator sign-off. + +For now, gate manually: + +```bash +cd Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier +python verify.py --providers --output-dir /tmp/verifier-run +# Read /tmp/verifier-run//summary.json — look at `verdict` +``` + +## What you CAN'T skip + +The verifier is non-bypassable. Three reasons: +1. **Top-k drift is silent.** A provider that ships a slightly-wrong `top_k` parameter still answers; the answers just gradually shift on the language-following and scenario-check metrics. A manual "looks fine" review misses this. +2. **Key re-sorting is silent.** Some OpenAI-compatible gateways alphabetize JSON object keys in tool definitions. The model still gets a valid schema; it just doesn't recall the original parameter order. The scenario-check metric is the only one that catches it. +3. **Error-only-reasoning is success-coded.** A misconfigured deployment returns HTTP 200 with a chain-of-thought-only payload. The gateway reports success; the application hangs on the missing `content` field. The error-only-reasoning metric is the only one that catches it. + +## What this is NOT + +- Not a load test. The verifier checks *correctness*, not throughput or concurrency. +- Not a security test. The verifier does not probe for prompt-injection, jailbreaks, or token-leak. +- Not a model-quality test. The verifier checks that the provider *matches the official behavior*, not that the official behavior is good. If the official baseline degrades, the verifier's thresholds stay the same and the gate gets stricter; that's intentional. + +## Follow-up + +The CI gate is described but not wired. The pattern that fits: extend `.github/workflows/python-tests.yml` (or a new `provider-verifier.yml`) to run `verify.py` against the `provider.json` in `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/provider.json.example` on every push, with the verdict posted back to the PR as a status check. A FAIL blocks merge. Wiring this is a separate slice — it's not in scope for the wire-up PR because the operator hasn't asked for it, and the verifier submodule is owned by a different team. + +## Reference + +- Submodule: `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/` (PMOVES fork of MiniMax-Provider-Verifier; tracks upstream `MiniMax-Provider-Verifier`) +- Submodule pin: `53d2d8a08029169d79ae1a9328574c67779d2768` +- Upstream README: see `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/README.md` +- Sample run output: `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/output-dir/` +- Mavis model cascade context: `pmoves/contracts/schemas/pmoves-bootstrap/example.cgp.yaml` → `services.minimax.verifier` From 13a2297312be7a3d0bb8874e6d8dab912752ac57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mavis Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:52:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 04/30] =?UTF-8?q?docs(cli):=20add=20MMX=5FCLI=5FSURFACE.md?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20catalog=20the=20mmx-cli=20surface?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Pmoves-minimax-cli submodule (npm: mmx-cli, v1.0.19) is the sidecar lane's entry point: Pinokio apps on operator devices, headless scripts, CI jobs. The submodule's own AGENTS.md/SDK.md/ERRORS.md are developer-facing (build rules, programmatic API, full error catalog); this doc is the Mavis-side summary for an operator who needs to know what the CLI can do and when to use it instead of the MCP. Three sections do the load-bearing work: - Command tree (auth, config, file, image, music, quota, search, speech, text, video, vision, help, update) with a one-line purpose + invocation example per command. - SDK surface showing the programmatic entry point (import { MiniMaxSDK } from 'mmx-cli/sdk') for the four core modalities: text, image, video, with the H3 V2 model and the async taskId path for video. - The five errors you'll hit most often, distilled from the 70+ error scenarios in ERRORS.md. The doc points to ERRORS.md for the full taxonomy and notes that scripts should match on the error code, not the message. The closing section 'Why not always call the MCP?' captures the splittest that the sidecar lane has to make: MCP for tool-aware agents, CLI for everything else. The MCP and CLI cover the same model surface; the split is *who's calling*, not *what's being called*.

The CLI writes to a temp directory under `MMX_TMP_DIR` (defaults to `$TMPDIR/mmx-$$`); the sidecar watches the directory and ingests results as they appear. + +The CLI is the sidecar's preferred entry point because (a) it doesn't need an MCP client, (b) the per-device `~/.mmx/config.json` is a stable place to keep the API key, and (c) the `mmx` binary is a small dependency that ships in the Pinokio app's portable bundle. + +## Why not always call the MCP? + +The MCP server and the CLI cover the same model surface. The split is **who's calling**: + +- **MCP (stdio via `uvx minimax-mcp`):** WebUI, Agent Zero, any tool-aware agent. The MCP is the right surface when the caller is already an MCP client and wants tool-discovery + schema-validated calls. +- **CLI (`mmx`):** sidecar apps, headless scripts, CI jobs, anything that's not an MCP client. The CLI is the right surface when the caller is "just a process that wants to call a model." + +If a sidecar app grows an MCP-aware component (e.g. a future Pinokio app that ships Claude Code), the right move is to switch the sidecar to the MCP. For now, the CLI is the lighter path. + +## Reference + +- Submodule: `Pmoves-minimax-cli/` (PMOVES fork of MiniMax-AI/cli) +- Submodule pin: `24875e0f04220480a7b146fc8db11ca7b0b278aa` +- Upstream CLI repo: https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/cli +- Upstream AGENTS.md: `Pmoves-minimax-cli/AGENTS.md` (build/test/lint) +- Upstream SDK.md: `Pmoves-minimax-cli/SDK.md` (programmatic API) +- Upstream ERRORS.md: `Pmoves-minimax-cli/ERRORS.md` (full error catalog) +- npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mmx-cli +- Mavis model cascade context: `pmoves/contracts/schemas/pmoves-bootstrap/example.cgp.yaml` → `services.minimax.cli` From ccbfda28784f4220affd1bac4748e7a1d8edb31d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mavis Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:54:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 05/30] =?UTF-8?q?docs(skills):=20add=20PMOVES=5FSKILLS=5FR?= =?UTF-8?q?EVIEW.md=20=E2=80=94=20review=20the=20find-skills=20meta-skill?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The skills/PMOVES-skills/ submodule landed via PR #2586 of the 6-repo fold-in as the post-recenter home of the open-skills-ecosystem library (was MiniMax-AI/skills, now vercel-labs/skills).

This doc is the Mavis-side review: what the submodule brings, what's worth pulling into our catalog, what's worth leaving alone. Three findings: 1. The find-skills skill itself should land in pmoves/configs/skill-pairings.yaml so BoTZ pipelines can surface it to agents on the sidecar lane. One-line addition; documented as a proposed delta in the doc body. 2. The skills CLI should land in pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml host_clis so the doctor (make -C pmoves cli-check) validates it alongside the other host CLIs. Also a one-line addition. 3. The PMOVES-specific default --owner POWERFULMOVES should be encoded in the PMOVES-side wrapper, not in the upstream SKILL.md (we don't own it; editing it would create fork drift). Documented here as a behavioral default. The 'leave alone' section makes the recenter discipline explicit: no upstream edits, no PMOVES-MiniMax-skills as a separate submodule, no submodule-level patches.

It contains: + +1. **The `skills` CLI** (TypeScript/Bun, ships as `bin/skills`): a package manager for skills. Three commands: + - `npx skills find [query] [--owner ]` — search for skills by keyword + - `npx skills add ` — install a skill from a GitHub URL, owner/repo shorthand, or local path + - `npx skills update` — update all installed skills +2. **One bundled skill:** `skills/find-skills/SKILL.md` (the meta-skill that helps an agent decide "is there a skill for X?" and run the find command). +3. **The leaderboard** at [skills.sh](https://skills.sh/) — a community ranking of skills by total installs. + +The CLI is engine-agnostic. It supports OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 72 more agents. The relevant fact for PMOVES is that it works with our existing agent surfaces without any PMOVES-side adapter. + +## What find-skills gives us + +The find-skills skill is a meta-skill — it doesn't do work itself, it helps an agent decide whether a more specialized skill exists. The pattern: + +1. **User asks "how do I do X?"** — the agent loads find-skills, checks the leaderboard, runs `npx skills find X` if needed, and either installs a relevant skill or proceeds without. +2. **User asks "find a skill for X"** — same flow, but with explicit intent to install. +3. **User wants to extend capabilities** — the agent uses find-skills to surface candidates. + +For PMOVES operators, the load-bearing use case is #1. An agent in a Mavis session that gets a request like "build me a podcast from these audio files" should be able to surface any audio-pipeline skills that exist in the open ecosystem, rather than hand-rolling from scratch. The `npx skills find` query against a `--owner` filter (`--owner POWERFULMOVES`) scopes the search to our forks first. + +## What's worth pulling into the PMOVES catalog + +Three things, in priority order: + +### 1. The find-skills skill itself — yes, add to skill-pairings + +`pmoves/configs/skill-pairings.yaml` has a `skill_sources` block (per the CLI tools registry PR #2599) that lets BoTZ pipelines surface tools to agents. Adding `find-skills` there means a BoTZ-driven agent on the sidecar lane can offer the user "I see there's a skill for X, want me to install it?" instead of doing the work from scratch. + +The wiring is a one-liner: + +```yaml +skill_sources: + # ... existing entries ... + find-skills: + type: meta-skill + path: skills/PMOVES-skills/skills/find-skills/SKILL.md + note: "Meta-skill for discovering open-ecosystem skills. Engine-agnostic." +``` + +This is a low-risk, additive change. Recommendation: do it as part of the next BoTZ skill-pairings update, not in this PR. + +### 2. The `skills` CLI as a host CLI — yes, add to cli_tools.yaml + +`pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml` (the canonical CLI inventory, added by PR #2599) has a `host_clis` block that the doctor (`make -C pmoves cli-check`) validates. The `npx skills` invocation is the right host-CLI surface for the find-skills skill. Adding it: + +```yaml +host_clis: + # ... existing entries ... + skills: + purpose: "Open skills ecosystem package manager (vercel-labs/skills CLI, via npx)" + required: false + install: + macos: "npm install -g skills" + linux: "npm install -g skills" + windows: "npm install -g skills" + check: "npx skills --version" +``` + +This is the second half of the wire-up: the skill needs a CLI to actually execute. Same recommendation as #1: do it in the next BoTZ/CLI registry update, not this PR. + +### 3. The PMOVES-specific skills under `--owner POWERFULMOVES` — flag in the agent prompt + +The find-skills skill, when used by a PMOVES agent, should default to `--owner POWERFULMOVES` first (so we surface our own forks before the open ecosystem). This is a one-line change to the find-skills SKILL.md invocation example, but it's a behavioral default that should be encoded in the PMOVES-side wrapper, not in the upstream SKILL.md. Recommendation: leave the upstream SKILL.md alone (we don't own it), and document the default in `pmoves/docs/skills/PMOVES_SKILLS_REVIEW.md` (this doc). + +## What to leave alone + +- **The `skills/find-skills/SKILL.md` content** — it's upstream, it works, and editing it would create a fork drift. We document our override defaults here instead. +- **The `skills` CLI source** — no PMOVES-side patches.

The operator's request to 'store cipher context' was about capturing the load-bearing facts in one place, not about adding new code. This doc covers four sections that the rest of PMOVES already references but doesn't pull together: - What cipher is for: persistent agent memory + reasoning trace storage + CHIT custody chain. Three distinct things, one MCP server. - What's encrypted: the memory body (HMAC-SHA256 + AES-256-GCM) via CHIT passphrase. The memory index (titles, timestamps, category) is plaintext so the MCP server can answer searches without decrypting every record. - Where the keys live: \ per-node in env.shared, the host-side and container-side names are the same after the sync-secrets-local.yml fix in PR #2605. HMAC kid public, HMAC secret derived at signing time, never written to disk. - NATS custody chain: cipher publishes three subjects (cipher.memory.stored.v1, cipher.memory.searched.v1, cipher.reasoning.stored.v1) to monitoring. The CHIT signing flow is sign-trail → cipher write → chit.signed.v1 publish, and the HMAC signature is the trust anchor for the AGNOTE append-only chain. The closing 'How a Mavis-class agent should use it' section codifies the three patterns (read on cold start, write on phase boundaries, sign before state-changing actions) so a future Mavis session has the recipe in one place. The 'What cipher is NOT' section captures the boundary: not a search engine, not a database, not a KV store, not a real-time channel. Each of these has its own PMOVES subsystem; cipher is the memory.

The pipeline writes a different value per node, so a stolen value only exposes one node's memory. | +| `$CHIT_PASSPHRASE` (container-side) | `docker-compose.<overlay>.yml` env section | `pmoves-cipher-api-1` reads it at container start | Same value as the host side, just propagated via the env interpolation. | +| HMAC kid (the public identifier) | `pmoves/contracts/chit/manifest.json` | CHIT signing + verification | Public; identifies the signing key, not the key itself. | +| HMAC secret (the actual signing key) | `$CHIT_PASSPHRASE` derived | `make -C pmoves sign-trail` | Used at signing time; never written to disk. | + +The CHIT trail unsigned-local fallback (no `$CHIT_PASSPHRASE` set) is acceptable in dev per the AGNOTE rules, but the trail is still recorded — just unsigned. A signed trail is the only kind that gates merge in production; an unsigned trail is informational. + +## NATS custody chain + +Cipher publishes three subjects that the wider PMOVES ecosystem subscribes to (per `.claude/context/nats-subjects.md`): + +| Subject | Direction | Purpose | +|---------|-----------|---------| +| `cipher.memory.stored.v1` | cipher-api → monitoring | Notify that a memory was stored | +| `cipher.memory.searched.v1` | cipher-api → monitoring | Notify that a memory search was performed | +| `cipher.reasoning.stored.v1` | cipher-api → monitoring | Notify that a reasoning trace was stored | + +Cipher does NOT publish to `chit.signed.v1` directly. The CHIT signing flow is: +1. An agent decides to take a state-changing action. +2. The agent calls `make -C pmoves sign-trail SUMMARY=... AGENT=...`. +3. `sign-trail` reads the agent's context (often from cipher itself), composes a CHIT payload, signs it with the HMAC key derived from `$CHIT_PASSPHRASE`, and writes the signed payload to cipher. +4. `sign-trail` then publishes the signed event to `chit.signed.v1` on NATS. +5. Subscribers (AGNOTE trail writers, monitoring, downstream consumers) react to the signed event. + +The HMAC signature is the custody mechanism. A signed trail can be verified offline against the public kid + the secret; a forged trail fails verification. This is what makes the AGNOTE append-only discipline work — the prior entry's signature is the trust anchor for the next entry. + +## How a Mavis-class agent should use it + +Three patterns, in priority order: + +1. **Read on cold start.** Before doing work, search cipher for prior plans, recent completions, and AGNOTE entries tagged with your role. The `.claude/mcp.json` `pmoves-cipher` server exposes `cipher_search(query, category, limit)` and `cipher_read(record_id)` for this. Use the `category` filter to narrow (e.g. `category=agent_checkpoint` for the prior plan; `category=agent_completion` for what was tried). + +2. **Write on phase boundaries.** Every BPM phase transition (define → assign → execute → review → close, per the harness v0 NATS subjects) should write a cipher record. The `cipher_store(record_type, payload, chit_signature?)` MCP method is the entry point. The record_type enum is `agent_plan | agent_checkpoint | agent_completion | reasoning_trace | chit_signed_event`. + +3. **Sign before any state-changing action.** `make -C pmoves sign-trail` is the canonical entry point; raw HMAC calls bypass the audit chain. The damage-control hook redirects raw `hmac` / `openssl dgst -hmac` calls to an `ask` prompt, same as it does for raw `docker`. Don't bypass. + +## What cipher is NOT + +- Not a search engine. Cipher is a memory store; if the memory wasn't written, it can't be found. If a prior agent didn't record a decision, that decision is lost. +- Not a database. Cipher's search is best-effort text match over encrypted records; it's not a SQL query. For structured data (agent registry, model configs, NATS subjects), use the appropriate PMOVES subsystem. +- Not a key-value store. Cipher records have a schema (the four `agent_*` / `reasoning_trace` types plus the chit_signed_event type); the payload must conform. +- Not a real-time channel. Cipher's NATS subjects are for monitoring, not for inter-agent messaging. For that, use the NATS subjects registered in `pmoves/contracts/schemas/` directly (e.g. `pmoves.agent.task.v1`). + +## Reference + +- MCP server source: `pmoves-cipher-mcp/` (PMOVES fork of the cipher MCP) +- Memory source: `Pmoves-cipher/` (the cipher storage engine) +- MCP config: `.claude/mcp.json` → `pmoves-cipher` server +- Agent registry: `pmoves/config/agent_registry.yaml` → `mcp_servers.pmoves_cipher_mcp` +- NATS subjects: `.claude/context/nats-subjects.md` (search for `cipher.*`) +- AGNOTE body: `.claude/agents/memory-agent.md` (the Three-Body Memory Body) +- CHIT signing spec: `pmoves/docs/security/CHIT/` (CHIT trail signing reference) +- Signing entry point: `make -C pmoves sign-trail` (per `pmoves/Makefile`) +- Secrets pipeline: `pmoves/mk/codex.mk` → `secrets-funnel` target (the canonical funnel) +- Path verification: `.claude/mcp.json` `_note` on `pmoves-cipher` — `/mcp/sse` returns 200, `/api/mcp/sse` and `/sse` return 404 (PATH VERIFIED 2026-08-12) From c6c4628cff5ddc3f0355b9cca79e26faa5a38391 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mavis <Mavis@pmoves.local> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:58:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 08/30] =?UTF-8?q?docs(hirag):=20store=20HiRAG=20context=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20submodule=20state,=20what's=20wired,=20what's=20pen?= =?UTF-8?q?ding?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit HiRAG is PMOVES's hybrid retrieval layer (vector + graph + full-text). The operator's request to 'store HiRAG context' was about capturing the surface in one place, not adding new code. The agent registry already declares the MCP server (pmoves_hirag_mcp, status: 'planned', grounding_source: true) but the doc that explains what that entry means, and what an agent should do with it, didn't exist. This doc covers the four sections the rest of PMOVES already references but doesn't pull together: - What HiRAG is: three-way retrieval (Qdrant vector + Neo4j graph + MeiliSearch full-text) merged at the gateway. The legacy and v2 gateways are the two HTTP surfaces; the MCP server is the discovery-friendly entry point. - What's wired: registry entry, compose services (CPU + GPU variants on the legacy profile), smoke test path. Three concrete facts a future Mavis session can use without re-discovering the surface. - What's pending: .claude/mcp.json registration (the registry has the entry; mcp.json doesn't have the server), v2 gateway promotion (v2 is documented as 'preferred' but legacy is what's deployed), submodule freshness check (the algorithm substrate tracks PMOVES.AI-Edition-Hardened, not main, and a drift could land silently). - How a Mavis-class agent should use it: read on cold start for grounding (the registry's grounding_source: true flag is a recipe, not a label), issue hybrid queries for cross-cutting context, fall back to scoped search for narrow questions. The 'What HiRAG is NOT' section captures the boundary: not a primary database, not a real-time index, not a replacement for cipher, not a search engine. Each of these has its own PMOVES subsystem; HiRAG is the hybrid read.

A single query fans out to all three, the results are merged and reranked, and a unified top-K comes back. The legacy gateway (`hi-rag-gateway`) and v2 gateway (`hi-rag-gateway-v2`) are the two HTTP surfaces; the MCP server is the discovery-friendly entry point. + +The research/algorithm substrate is in PMOVES-HiRAG, which tracks the hardened branch. The companion paper "Latent Geometry as a Control Knob" (in `pmoves/docs/context/Latent_Geometry_Is_a_Control_Knob/`) is the theoretical motivation — the claim is that the latent geometry of the vector space encodes the relationship structure that a graph would otherwise have to be told about, and that hybrid retrieval is a way to combine the geometry's implicit structure with explicit graph structure. The HiRAG v2 gateway is the implementation of that thesis. + +## What's wired + +Three things, in priority order: + +1. **MCP server entry in agent registry** — `pmoves_hirag_mcp` is declared in `pmoves/config/agent_registry.yaml` line 3032 with `transport: "sse"`, `endpoint: ${PMOVES_HIRAG_MCP_ENDPOINT:-http://pmoves-hirag-mcp:8080/sse}`, `action_namespace: "mcp.v1.hirag"`, `capabilities: ["retrieve", "graph", "search", "notebook"]`, `rooms: ["4090-field.room.control", "hermes-agent.room.control"]`, `grounding_source: true`, `status: "planned"`. The entry exists; the MCP server itself runs as a Docker service in compose. + +2. **Legacy hi-rag-gateway in compose** — both the CPU and GPU variants are in the compose overlay system. The CPU service is `hi-rag-gateway` on port `8089→8086`; the GPU service is `hi-rag-gateway-gpu` on port `8090→8086`. Both are gated on the `legacy` profile; the GPU service also needs the `gpu` profile. Both depend on Qdrant and Neo4j. + +3. **Smoke test path** — `docker compose --profile legacy up -d qdrant neo4j hi-rag-gateway` brings up the legacy stack, then `curl -sS http://localhost:8089/hirag/query -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"query":"hello","namespace":"pmoves","k":3}'` exercises the query interface. The README notes that `make bootstrap-data` is the right way to populate the demo data before running smokes. + +## What's pending + +Three things, in priority order: + +1. **`.claude/mcp.json` registration** — unlike cipher (which has both a registry entry AND a `.claude/mcp.json` server), HiRAG is in the registry only. A future PMOVES-aware agent that tries to consume the MCP server directly from `.claude/mcp.json` will not find it. The fix is a one-block addition to `.claude/mcp.json` mirroring the `pmoves-cipher` pattern (SSE transport, URL from the same env var the registry references). Recommendation: do this when HiRAG becomes a real cold-start surface, not in the wire-up PR (the MCP server is `status: "planned"`, not `"active"`). + +2. **v2 gateway promotion** — the v2 README explicitly says "v2 remains the preferred path for advanced features and UI" but the legacy stack is what's actually wired in compose. The v2 is documented but not deployed. The risk is that a new agent is built against the legacy gateway and the v2 stays second-class. Recommendation: a follow-up slice that promotes v2 to the default and demotes the legacy stack to "compatibility only." + +3. **PMOVES-HiRAG submodule freshness** — the submodule tracks `PMOVES.AI-Edition-Hardened`, not `main`. The most recent commit is `e904b12a` from August 2026; the upstream research is presumably still landing there. The risk is the algorithm substrate drifts from the v2 gateway implementation. Recommendation: a `submodule-integrity` check on every PR that touches either the submodule or the gateway; the existing `.github/scripts/validate_submodule_gitlinks.sh` covers the gitlink but not the freshness-vs-main check. + +## How a Mavis-class agent should use it + +Three patterns, in priority order: + +1. **Read on cold start for grounding.** The `grounding_source: true` flag in the registry entry means a discovering agent fetches startup grounding here. Concretely: when Mavis first loads, it should issue a `retrieve(query="<lane context>", namespace="pmoves", k=5)` call against HiRAG to surface the most relevant prior work, plans, and CHIT trail entries for the lane it's about to work in. The cipher MCP complements this (cipher is the durable memory; HiRAG is the relevant-now retrieval over that memory). + +2. **Issue hybrid queries for cross-cutting context.** A single HiRAG query covers the vector + graph + full-text space. The common case: "what did we decide about X last time it came up?" — a vector match on the topic, a graph match on related people/decisions, and a full-text match on the literal phrase. The merged top-K is the right context window for a planning step. + +3. **Fall back to scoped search for narrow questions.** If the question is highly specific (a function name, a commit SHA, a person), full-text search via Meili is faster than HiRAG. The MCP server's `search` capability is the right entry point; reserve the broader `retrieve` for open-ended questions. + +## What HiRAG is NOT + +- Not a primary database. The durable source of truth is Supabase (Postgres) for structured data, Neo4j for the graph, and Qdrant for vectors. HiRAG is the read-side. +- Not a real-time index. HiRAG's indices are populated by the bootstrap-data make target, not by event-driven writes. If you write to Qdrant/Neo4j/Meili directly, HiRAG will see it on its next query; if you need a guaranteed-fresh view, query the underlying store. +- Not a replacement for cipher. Cipher is the durable memory; HiRAG is the retrieval over it. A write goes to cipher; a read goes to HiRAG. +- Not a search engine. HiRAG searches PMOVES-side data (the seeded corpus).

The CRUSH lane (PR #2599) already wired the mmx-cli and the pmoves Wrappers; this commit lands the two remaining entries that the PMOVES_SKILLS_REVIEW.md review flagged as 'proposed deltas' for the find-skills meta-skill. Two entries in two manifests: - pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml: new host_clis entry skills: backing the npx skills CLI. The doctor (make -C pmoves cli-check) now validates the npx skills --version invocation alongside gh, docker, make, uv, glances. required: false (find-skills is a convenience, not a hard requirement). - pmoves/configs/skill-pairings.yaml: two new skill_sources entries - cli-host-skills (matching the cli-host-* naming pattern) and ind-skills (the path to the SKILL.md). The second makes the meta-skill discoverable to BoTZ pipelines that consume the skill_sources block. The PMOVES-side behavioral default '--owner POWERFULMOVES first, then unfiltered' stays in PMOVES_SKILLS_REVIEW.md, NOT in the upstream SKILL.md - editing the upstream would create fork drift.

(2) PMOVES-pinokio PR - `2026-08-18T15:10:00Z` CLAIM `B850-CLAUDE (Claude Opus 5)` scope: **Secrets lane L4/L5 on `docs/instrument-trust-grounding` — host-side CHIT key delivery, a blank value that beat a populated alias, and the Pattern-B instruction that destroys the bundle it just pulled.** Claimed against the L1–L7 board opened in PR #2594; **L4 + L5 only**, no overlap with Z890's #2595 (which touches `pmoves/bootstrap/registry.json` + `scripts/supabase/apply_env_profile.py` — disjoint from every file here). **What lands (3 commits):** (1) `.github/workflows/sync-secrets-local.yml` — every compose file writes `CHIT_PASSPHRASE=${CHIT_PROD_PASSPHRASE:?...}`, so the container-side name and the HOST-side name differ and only the container-side one was ever in the `env:` map (26 refs / 5 compose files / 12 services; compose interpolates the whole file first, so one unresolved `:?` gated **every** `up-*` target, not just those services). `gh secret list` verified 2026-08-17: no `CHIT_PROD_*` secret exists in repo or prod scope, only `CHIT_PASSPHRASE` — so the one real secret is mapped to the name the runtime reads rather than minting a duplicate. Same precedent as `KIMI_CODING_API` / `MOONSHOT_API_KEY`. (2) `pmoves/tools/chit_manifest_register.py` — registers the host-side label with the container-side name as a source alias; `secrets_sync.py` resolves label-then-alias and emits the canonical target key either way. **This entry existed on B850 only as uncommitted working-tree drift (`git log -S` finds it in no commit; 75 insertions / 0 deletions across both manifests), so it would vanish on any clean checkout — the REGISTRY entry is its durable, machine-emitted form.** (3) `pmoves/tools/secrets_sync.py` — `build_outputs()` resolved a source by key PRESENCE alone, so a canonical label present-but-EMPTY beat a populated alias and was written as `KEY=` into every target while staying out of `missing` even when required. `_first_usable()` now walks label-then-aliases for the first non-blank. **Blank is worse than absent:** compose `${KEY:?}` rejects empty but `${KEY?}` accepts it, and anything that SOURCES an env file and exports it re-exports the blank — where shell environment beats every `--env-file`. (4) `pmoves/docs/operations/SECRETS_DISTRIBUTION_PATTERNS.md` — the Pattern-B recipe told operators to run `make secrets-funnel` right after pulling a CI bundle; that is the Pattern-A funnel, whose `secrets-funnel-sync` depends on `chit-export` (`mk/codex.mk:111`), which re-encodes the node's LOCAL `env.shared` over `CHIT_EXPORT_PATH` — the exact file the pull just installed. The doc already contradicted itself: its status line (2026-07-24) names `secrets-pull` / `secrets-funnel-from-prod` while the copy-pasteable block below still carried the destructive command, i.e. **the wrong half was the half operators use**. Also corrected: the artifact name omitted its target segment (real name `chit-bundle-<target>-<run_id>`, `sync-secrets-local.yml:402`) and the "adds a second workflow" trade-off was stale. **Operator step run under explicit authorization, targets verified first:** `chit-manifest-register` (no-op — label already known), `chit-manifest-sync` (203 entries), `secrets-funnel` (rc=0, 19s, all 7 steps). **Three corrections to earlier claims in this lane, all mine:** (a) *"flute-gateway cannot be recreated at all — missing CHIT secret in env.shared"* — **wrong**; (b) *"the funnel wrote an empty value and gated 8 services"* — **wrong**; (c) an early draft of the fix comment recorded (b) in source as fact, which is finding #6 of the instrument-trust audit committed by its own author, and was corrected before push. **Actual root cause, measured:** this session's shell exported `CHIT_PROD_PASSPHRASE` with **length 0** while `CHIT_PASSPHRASE` held the real 64-char value, and shell environment beats `--env-file` in compose interpolation. With that single export removed, `docker compose config` is **clean across the whole stack** (only unrelated `GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN` / `SUPABASE_URI_ALLOW_LIST` blank-default warnings). Per-file probe with the shadow removed: `env.shared` = present but **EMPTY**; `env.tier-data` and `env.tier-agent` = present and non-empty; `env.tier-ui` / `env.tier-supabase` = absent as expected. **So the tier files were correct the whole time and the stack is healthy** — the residue is the blank key in `env.shared`, which is exactly **L5** ("`env.shared` residue — operator-only; the pipeline has no clear-a-key operation"). Only sourced-and-exported environments are affected (launcher, hooks, cron), which is why it presented as node-specific. **L4 correction for the board:** *"`secrets-audit` exits non-zero on live findings → `make secrets-funnel` still fails at step 6"* **does not reproduce on B850** — `secrets-audit` completes in **12s, exit 0** (0 errors / 5 warnings). `secrets_hardening_audit.py:345` is `return 1 if errors else 0`, so L4 is real but **conditional on a node having ERROR-level findings**, not universal; its `rglob("*")` walks 331,477 paths here (excludes `.git` and `.claude/worktrees`, but **not** submodules, `node_modules` or `.venv`), which is the "hang" report. **New defect found while verifying targets:** the documented gate `make chit-manifest-register ARGS='--check'` **cannot work** — command-line `ARGS` is exported to sub-makes, and the recursive `$(MAKE) env-bootstrap-lite` passes `$(ARGS)` to `bootstrap_light_env.py` (`mk/preflight.mk:39`), which dies on the unrecognized flag before the registrar ever runs. **7 targets share this prerequisite** (`codex.mk:84,91,98`; `preflight.mk:52,59,240,247`); fix is `$(MAKE) ARGS= env-bootstrap-lite`. Not claimed here — left for whoever holds the Make lane. **Verification:** 12 tests in `tests/tools/` covering the rename and the blank-value guard (blank counts as missing, whitespace-only counts as missing, blank canonical falls through to a populated alias, canonical wins when both are populated); 69 passed across `tests/tools/` with 2 pre-existing failures unrelated (one baselined at `_known_failures.yaml:166`; the other is this same shell-export class via `NATS_URL`). **Cipher correction:** `/mcp/sse` returns **200** and the stale `/api/mcp/sse` returns 404, so the earlier "cipher MCP dead fleet-wide" no longer holds for B850 — though the container reports ~26h uptime, so it was already healthy before today's rebuild, and an MCP roster is fixed at session start so this session still cannot reach it. **Three-body:** delivery=B850-CLAUDE (the 3 commits + the measurement), control=DARKXSIDE (authorized the operator step; owns the `env.shared` blank-key clear, which no pipeline operation covers), memory=this trail + the audit doc + the 12 tests.

(2) **CGP bootstrap profile** — `pmoves-minimax-mcp` added to `mcps` in `pmoves/contracts/schemas/pmoves-bootstrap/example.cgp.yaml`; new `services.minimax` block naming the 3 NEW submodules by canonical path and binding the sidecar lane to Pmoves-pinokio. (3) **Docs group** — `pmoves/docs/operations/PROVIDER_VERIFIER_GATE.md` (the 6 metrics, the 3 silent-failure modes the gate is the only thing that catches, the CI follow-up that's deliberately out of scope); `pmoves/docs/services/MMX_CLI_SURFACE.md` (the 14 commands, the SDK programmatic surface, the 5 errors you'll hit most, the "Why not always call the MCP?" boundary); `pmoves/docs/skills/PMOVES_SKILLS_REVIEW.md` (the find-skills meta-skill + 3 adoption items, all flagged as follow-up); `pmoves/docs/AGENTS/AGENTS_MD_FORMAT_REVIEW.md` (the open format's 3 canonical sections vs. our 12-section AGENTS.md, 3 adoption items). (4) **Cipher + HiRAG context** — `.claude/context/cipher.md` (encryption scheme, key locations, NATS custody chain, the 3 patterns a Mavis-class agent should use); `.claude/context/hirag.md` (what's wired, what's pending, the 3 patterns, "what HiRAG is NOT" boundary). (5) **Registry + CLI wires** — `pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml` host_clis.skills entry (npx skills); `pmoves/configs/skill-pairings.yaml` `find-skills` + `cli-host-skills` entries (so BoTZ pipelines can discover the meta-skill). (6) **Drift detector** — `pmoves/tests/unit/test_mcpcli_wireup.py` with 13 tests in 5 groups (agent_registry, mcp.json, BOOTSTRAP, CGP, cli_tools, skill_pairings) that parse the actual files and assert the load-bearing facts of each wire-up entry. All 13/13 pass. **Why not hand-roll:** the operator flag is "your minimax cli is installed since all the commands rules already there no need to hand roll just document and store" — so the `mmx` CLI is consumed as-is via the existing `Pmoves-minimax-cli` path, and the sidecar lane is referenced (not re-implemented) from the CGP service block. **Cross-PR context:** PR #2599 (CRUSH) already added `minimax-cli` to `pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml` `service_clis`; this slice is the Mavis-side wire-up (registry, MCP, CGP, docs, tests) that completes the harness v0 follow-ups. **Three-body:** delivery=Mavis (the 11 commits + the 13 tests), control=DARKXSIDE (owns the operator-step on the `env.shared` blank-key clear and the `archon.crawl.*` retire-vs-keep call, neither touched by this slice), memory=this trail + the 4 docs + the LEARNINGS file. **CHIT trail unsigned-local.** `agent_signature: ACK::Mavis::MCPCLI-WIREUP-CLAIM-RELEASE::2026-08-18`. +<!-- GRAPHITI_MARK: Mavis::MCPCLI-WIREUP-CLAIM-RELEASE::2026-08-18 --> From 6dfbe1d76ac0f85d4ccbb2fc64c7c892eaf72f39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mavis <Mavis@pmoves.local> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 21:07:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 12/30] =?UTF-8?q?learnings:=20add=20mcpcli=5Fwireup=5FLEAR?= =?UTF-8?q?NINGS.md=20=E2=80=94=20capture=20the=205=20patterns=20from=20th?= =?UTF-8?q?is=20slice?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 5 patterns captured in §2: 2.1 Why docs, not a new CLI — the operator's 'no need to hand roll' rule. When the tool is already installed and the operator said 'don't hand-roll', the PMOVES-side work is wire-up + docs, not new code. New code is the trap. 2.2 The 5-surface wire-up pattern — when an MCP server enters the harness, it gets registered in 5 places: agent_registry mcp_servers, .claude/mcp.json, BOOTSTRAP.md, the CGP mcps list, and the CGP services block. Skipping any one leaves a gap that will bite later. 2.3 The transport field is not 'always SSE' — the stdio entries use command + args + env instead of endpoint. The schema accepts both shapes via additionalProperties: true. 2.4 'Grounding source' is a recipe, not a label — the flag tells the discovery plane to fetch startup grounding from the server on cold start. Set it for memory/retrieval/model surfaces; skip it for tools used during a task. 2.5 The drift detector pattern — wire-up work is best tested by parsing the files and asserting presence/shape, not by running the resulting system. The unit test names name the wire-up so a future rename is explicit. Cross-refs in §4 point at every file this slice touched, plus the related PRs (2586, 2589, 2590, 2568, 2599) and the operator (three-body delivery=Mavis, control=DARKXSIDE, memory=this trail).

It's a separate slice. +- **v2 HiRAG gateway promotion** — the v2 is documented as "preferred" but legacy is deployed. The HiRAG context doc captures this as a follow-up. +- **`.claude/mcp.json` HiRAG registration** — the agent registry has `pmoves_hirag_mcp` (status: planned) but `.claude/mcp.json` doesn't have the server.

No build artifacts in PMOVES.AI. + +## 2. Patterns / fixes + +### 2.1 "Why docs, not a new CLI" — the operator's "no need to hand roll" rule + +**The trap:** with `Pmoves-minimax-cli` as a submodule and `minimax-cli` already in `cli_tools.yaml` `service_clis` (added by CRUSH lane #2599), the natural reflex is to write a `pmoves/tools/mini_cli.py` extension or a Python wrapper. That would be over-engineering. + +**The decision:** the operator flag is explicit: "your minimax cli is installed since all the commands rules already there no need to hand roll just document and store." So the `mmx` CLI is consumed as-is. The PMOVES-side work is: register the MCP server (so tool-aware agents find it), document the CLI surface (so sidecar apps know the commands), and add the verifier doc (so the gate is useable). + +**Rule of thumb:** when an external tool/submodule is already installed and the operator has explicitly said "don't hand-roll", the PMOVES-side work is **wire-up + documentation**, not new code. New code is the trap; documents that point at the existing tool are the right answer. + +### 2.2 The 5-surface wire-up pattern (when an MCP server enters the harness) + +**The convention:** when a new MCP server lands as a submodule, it gets registered in 5 places. If any of the 5 is missing, the harness v0 has a gap. + + - `pmoves/config/agent_registry.yaml` → `mcp_servers.<key>` (the discovery plane, the registry, the grounding-source flag if it's a cold-start surface) + - `.claude/mcp.json` → `mcpServers.<name>` (the runtime config, the actual MCP server Claude Code calls) + - `.claude/BOOTSTRAP.md` → MCP Entrypoints table (the cold-start doc, the human-readable listing) + - `pmoves/contracts/schemas/pmoves-bootstrap/example.cgp.yaml` → `mcps` list (the CGP bootstrap, so consumer forks inherit the server) + - `pmoves/contracts/schemas/pmoves-bootstrap/example.cgp.yaml` → `services.<name>` (the CGP service block, with the 3 submodules named by canonical path if it's a tier) + +The harness v0 follow-ups (PR #2568) registered the SKILL surface in `pmoves/configs/submodule_skill_registry.json` — that's the 6th surface, but it's the *consumption* side, not the *provisioning* side. The 5 provisioning surfaces above are what makes the server actually start. + +**Rule of thumb:** when a new MCP server enters the harness, expect 5 file edits + 1 test file. If you're tempted to do fewer, you're probably skipping a surface and the gap will bite later. + +### 2.3 The transport field is not "always SSE" + +**The trap:** every existing `mcp_servers` entry in `agent_registry.yaml` is `transport: "sse"` (cipher, e2b, hirag, nats, tailscale, voice). The new PMOVES-MiniMax-MCP server is `transport: "stdio"` (the upstream design). If I'd copied the existing pattern, I'd have written SSE and pointed at a non-existent HTTP endpoint. + +**The right answer:** the transport field is **whatever the upstream server actually speaks**, not what the other entries happen to use. The stdio entry uses `command` + `args` + `env` instead of `endpoint`. Both shapes are valid; the schema is `additionalProperties: true` so neither fails validation. + +**Rule of thumb:** for stdio MCP servers, the agent_registry entry has `command` (the executable, e.g. `uvx`), `args` (the launch args, e.g. `["minimax-mcp"]`), and `env` (the env vars with `${VAR}` placeholders for the pipeline to fill). The `endpoint` field is SSE-only. + +### 2.4 "Grounding source" is a recipe, not a label + +**The trap:** the existing entries with `grounding_source: true` (cipher, hirag) read like a feature flag — "yes, this is a grounding source." But that's not what it does. The flag is consumed by the discovery plane: when a cold-start agent loads the bootstrap, it fetches startup grounding from every server with `grounding_source: true`. Without the flag, a cold-start agent won't auto-load the surface. + +**The right answer:** the new PMOVES-MiniMax-MCP entry has `grounding_source: true` because **the model surface is a load-bearing part of any Mavis-class agent's cold start** (Mavis needs to know what models are available before planning work that uses them). The other entries with the flag (cipher for memory, hirag for retrieval) follow the same logic: the agent needs this surface on cold start to do its job. + +**Rule of thumb:** if a server's surface is something a cold-start agent needs *before* it can plan (memory, retrieval, model surface), it gets `grounding_source: true`. If it's a tool the agent uses *during* a task (file uploads, web search), it doesn't. + +### 2.5 The drift detector pattern (test the wire-up, not the runtime) + +**The trap:** with 5 file edits across 5 surfaces, the natural reflex is to write a "smoke test" that runs the server. But the server is a subprocess that needs an env var (MINIMAX_API_KEY), a working directory, and a parent process — testing it end-to-end is the wrong unit. + +**The right answer:** the test parses the actual files and asserts the load-bearing facts of each wire-up entry. 13 tests in 5 groups: + + - agent_registry: key present, submodule pointer, capabilities + - mcp.json: key present, command + args + - BOOTSTRAP.md: substring presence + - CGP: mcps list, services.minimax block with mcp/cli/verifier + - cli_tools + skill_pairings: find-skills + cli-host-skills present, paths point at the right submodule + +If a future PR removes any of these entries, the test fails. If a future PR renames `pmoves_minimax_mcp` to `pmoves_model_mcp`, the test fails and the commit message has to address why. The test names name the wire-up explicitly. + +**Rule of thumb:** wire-up work is best tested by parsing the files and asserting presence/shape, not by running the resulting system. The runtime test is the CI step (out of scope for this slice); the wire-up test is the unit test. + +## 3.

My example.cgp.yaml adds a minimax: block to services.minimax, which the schema rejected with 'Additional properties are not allowed (minimax was unexpected)'. Failing tests (pmoves/tools/tests/test_load_bootstrap.py + test_orchestrator.py): 20+ tests, all cascading from the same root cause. Fix: add minimax to schema.services.properties with the same additionalProperties:true / typed-string properties pattern as tailscale / rustdesk / hostinger / cloudflare. The block names the 4 submodule paths (mcp, cli, verifier, pinokio) so a future typo in the path string is caught at the schema level rather than silently passing through. All 36 tests in test_load_bootstrap.py + test_orchestrator.py pass after the fix; 13/13 drift-detector tests in test_mcpcli_wireup.py also still pass.

Re-pin after auditing new releases before upgrading." Every other server in the file follows that (hostinger-api-mcp@0.2.1, tailscale-mcp@2026.4.10-1, postgres-mcp@0.3.0, ...). This entry did not, while its own _purpose names an audited submodule commit it never actually invoked. The pin is unambiguous rather than a guess: the gitlink on this branch is f4d6a61b, and that commit's pyproject.toml declares version 0.0.18 -- the same as the current PyPI latest. So pinning changes nothing today and prevents the next release from arriving unreviewed. minimax-mcp is a 0.0.x package (18 releases), so "latest" carries no API-stability promise either. Also extended the file's own inventory note so the pin is recorded where the policy is stated, not only at the call site. Out of scope, reported not fixed: `huggingface` -> `@llmindset/hf-mcp-server` is also unpinned. Pre-existing, unrelated to this lane.

This module is the static half of the gate. 6 checks, no API calls: 1. verifier_submodule_present — the submodule is initialized 2. provider_config_well_formed — provider.json.example parses as a JSON array 3. provider_entries_have_required_fields — every entry has the 4 required fields (name, model, base_url, api_key) 4. example_keys_are_placeholders — no real API key accidentally committed to the example file (the gate that catches a secret leak at PR time, not audit time) 5. sample_jsonl_present — sample.jsonl is non-empty (required positional arg for verify.py) 6. verifier_entry_point_importable — verify.py parses cleanly (compile() without executing; full import lives in the operator's manual dispatch because it pulls validator/ deps) Exit codes: 0 = PASS, 1 = FAIL, 2 = unexpected error. JSON output via --json for CI consumption; human-readable by default. The operator's full conformance run is workflow_dispatch (next commit). Live: all 6 checks pass on the current submodule state. --- pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py | 385 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 385 insertions(+) create mode 100644 pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py diff --git a/pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py b/pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..dd546f1879 --- /dev/null +++ b/pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py @@ -0,0 +1,385 @@ +"""Provider-Verifier static gate. + +The MiniMax-Provider-Verifier is the conformance gate for adding a new +third-party provider to the Mavis model cascade.

The aggregate run_gate gets pass + fail + to-dict tests (3 tests). The CLI main() gets pass + fail exit code tests (2 tests). The fixture_verifier_dir fixture creates a tmp_path with a valid provider.json, sample.jsonl, and a stub verify.py (parseable, not the real one) so tests don't depend on the submodule's heavy deps. Notable coverage: - The 'real key detected' test puts a 26-char sk- key into the fixture and asserts the check fails with 'Real API key' in the detail. This is the load-bearing test for the secret-leak gate. - The 'syntax error' test writes a broken verify.py and asserts the check fails with 'syntax error' in the detail. Catches the case where a refactor introduces a SyntaxError that wouldn't surface until the operator's manual run. - The 'wrong type' test (provider.json is a dict, not a list) and the 'not a dict' test (an entry is a string) catch the two shapes of malformed config the static check needs to handle. - The 'verify_submodule_missing' test points at a non-existent path and asserts the actionable 'git submodule update' detail. - The CLI tests exercise the exit codes (0 vs 1) and the --json flag, which is what the CI workflow will consume. 22/22 pass.

It REQUIRES real API calls (--api-key, --base-url, --model) so it cannot run in CI without exposing secrets. This workflow runs the static half (pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py) on every PR that touches the relevant paths. 6 checks, no API calls, JSON output consumed by the step summary + a PR comment on FAIL. The status check name is verifier-gate; merge-gate.yml references it (so a FAIL blocks merge). workflow_dispatch is the operator's full-conformance path: the gate runs the static checks + the operator runs verify.py locally with the API keys. Workflow structure (lesson #12/13 from the post-merge fix — the test file lives separately so a future edit doesn't silently break the gate): triggers: - pull_request to main on Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/**, pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py, the test file, and the workflow file itself - workflow_dispatch for manual full-conformance runs permissions: {} # minimal; no scopes the job doesn't need concurrency: # one concurrent run per ref; cancel on # re-runs of the same PR (matches existing # branch-protection-drift.yml pattern) steps: 1. actions/checkout@<SHA> with submodules: recursive (so Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/ is on disk) 2. actions/setup-python@<SHA> Python 3.12 (matches the verifier's pyproject.toml requires-python) 3. Best-effort install of the verifier's runtime deps (numpy, openai, megfile). The static gate doesn't need them; the full dispatch path does. 4. Run the static gate, capture the JSON output, write to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, exit 0/1 on PASS/FAIL. 5. On FAIL, post a PR comment with the common-cause list (per the comments pattern in codeql.yml / claude.yml). The shell pipeline uses \set +e ... ; RC=\True ... set -e\ because the gate's \py ... --json\ exits 1 on FAIL and we need to capture BOTH the output and the exit code. This is the same pattern as the post-merge fix in PR #2569 (lesson #13: \set -e\ without \pipefail\ masks publisher failures).

The first test pass wrote the helper to work against the live submodule; the test run then mutated gate.VERIFIER_SUBMODULE between tests, but the check functions kept reading the cached paths from the global — so tests for missing-syntax, missing-config, etc. read the LIVE files, not the fixture files. 15/22 tests failed for that reason. Refactor: each check function now takes verifier_submodule: Path as an explicit parameter. run_gate() resolves the path (default to the live submodule) and passes it through. Tests pass a tmp_path fixture; the CLI takes --verifier-submodule as a flag. The helper's behavior is unchanged on the live submodule. Also adds 15 workflow-glue tests in pmoves/tests/test_provider_verifier_workflow.py (lesson #12/13 from PR #2569 — workflow YAML needs code review, not just unit tests; these tests parse the YAML and assert on the patterns that bind the workflow to the helper's contract: trigger block, permissions, concurrency, job name, pinned checkout, submodules: recursive, --json flag, exit code capture + propagation, py alias). 15/15 pass.

For a FAIL on that gate to block merge, the merge-decision step in merge-gate.yml must (a) include 'verifier-gate' in its needs list, and (b) treat the workflow's result correctly. Two changes to merge-gate.yml: 1. Add 'verifier-gate' to the merge-decision needs list, and to the failure-check conditional. Now a FAIL on the gate blocks merge, like the other 3 hard gates. 2. Treat 'skipped' as a pass, not a failure. The provider-verifier workflow has a paths: filter; a PR that doesn't touch the relevant paths runs the workflow as 'skipped' (not 'success' or 'failure'). A naive 'skipped == failure' check would block every PR that doesn't touch the verifier — a regression. The merge-decision only treats 'failure' as blocking; 'skipped' and 'success' both pass. A comment in the workflow explains the skipped = pass design so the next person who reads the conditional doesn't 'fix' it back to the naive interpretation. Also adds 2 cross-workflow tests in pmoves/tests/test_provider_verifier_workflow.py (the existing file already covers the provider-verifier.yml contract; this extends it to the cross-workflow binding): - test_merge_gate_references_verifier_gate: asserts the merge-gate workflow's text mentions 'verifier-gate' (the load-bearing reference for the gate to actually block merge) - test_merge_gate_handles_verifier_gate_skipped: asserts the merge-decision does NOT treat 'skipped' as failure (catches the naive 'if result == skipped block' anti-pattern that would regress every PR that doesn't touch the verifier) 15 -> 17 tests; all 17 pass.

Test: test_workflow_job_has_issues_write_for_comment_step asserts the job-level permissions.issues is 'write'.

(3) **Docs group** — `pmoves/docs/operations/PROVIDER_VERIFIER_GATE.md` (the 6 metrics, the 3 silent-failure modes the gate is the only thing that catches, the CI follow-up that's deliberately out of scope); `pmoves/docs/services/MMX_CLI_SURFACE.md` (the 14 commands, the SDK programmatic surface, the 5 errors you'll hit most, the "Why not always call the MCP?" boundary); `pmoves/docs/skills/PMOVES_SKILLS_REVIEW.md` (the find-skills meta-skill + 3 adoption items, all flagged as follow-up); `pmoves/docs/AGENTS/AGENTS_MD_FORMAT_REVIEW.md` (the open format's 3 canonical sections vs. our 12-section AGENTS.md, 3 adoption items). (4) **Cipher + HiRAG context** — `.claude/context/cipher.md` (encryption scheme, key locations, NATS custody chain, the 3 patterns a Mavis-class agent should use); `.claude/context/hirag.md` (what's wired, what's pending, the 3 patterns, "what HiRAG is NOT" boundary). (5) **Registry + CLI wires** — `pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml` host_clis.skills entry (npx skills); `pmoves/configs/skill-pairings.yaml` `find-skills` + `cli-host-skills` entries (so BoTZ pipelines can discover the meta-skill). (6) **Drift detector** — `pmoves/tests/unit/test_mcpcli_wireup.py` with 13 tests in 5 groups (agent_registry, mcp.json, BOOTSTRAP, CGP, cli_tools, skill_pairings) that parse the actual files and assert the load-bearing facts of each wire-up entry. All 13/13 pass. **Why not hand-roll:** the operator flag is "your minimax cli is installed since all the commands rules already there no need to hand roll just document and store" — so the `mmx` CLI is consumed as-is via the existing `Pmoves-minimax-cli` path, and the sidecar lane is referenced (not re-implemented) from the CGP service block. **Cross-PR context:** PR #2599 (CRUSH) already added `minimax-cli` to `pmoves/configs/cli_tools.yaml` `service_clis`; this slice is the Mavis-side wire-up (registry, MCP, CGP, docs, tests) that completes the harness v0 follow-ups. **Three-body:** delivery=Mavis (the 11 commits + the 13 tests), control=DARKXSIDE (owns the operator-step on the `env.shared` blank-key clear and the `archon.crawl.*` retire-vs-keep call, neither touched by this slice), memory=this trail + the 4 docs + the LEARNINGS file. **CHIT trail unsigned-local.** `agent_signature: ACK::Mavis::MCPCLI-WIREUP-CLAIM-RELEASE::2026-08-18`. <!-- GRAPHITI_MARK: Mavis::MCPCLI-WIREUP-CLAIM-RELEASE::2026-08-18 --> +- `2026-08-19T11:00:00Z` CLAIM+RELEASE `Mavis (minimax, MiniMax-M3)` scope: **provider-verifier-ci-gate slice on `feat/provider-verifier-ci-gate` (worktree `PMOVES.AI-provider-verifier-ci-gate`) — wire the static half of the MiniMax-Provider-Verifier conformance gate into CI; rebased on top of `feat/mcpcli-wireup` to inherit the verifier doc + the minimax MCP wire-up.** 7+ commits (functional / docs / fix-up 3-stacked group). **What lands:** (1) **Static gate helper** — `pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py` (6 checks, no API calls, JSON output, --json flag for CI consumption, --verifier-submodule override for tests). The checks: `verifier_submodule_present`, `provider_config_well_formed`, `provider_entries_have_required_fields`, `example_keys_are_placeholders` (catches a real API key accidentally committed to the example file), `sample_jsonl_present`, `verifier_entry_point_importable` (parse() only — full import lives in the operator's manual run because it pulls validator/ deps). (2) **CI workflow** — `.github/workflows/provider-verifier.yml` triggers on PRs that touch `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/**` or the helper / test files. Job name `verifier-gate` is the status check consumed by merge-gate.yml. workflow_dispatch wired for the future operator-triggered full-conformance path. `actions/checkout` pinned to SHA + `submodules: recursive` + `permissions: {}` at the workflow level + `permissions.issues: write` at the job level (so the PR-comment step on FAIL has the scope it needs). (3) **Tests** — 22 unit tests for the gate (6 checks × pass + fail + edge cases, plus CLI exit codes), 15 workflow-glue tests in the lesson #12/13 pattern (parse the YAML, assert on the patterns that bind the workflow to the helper's contract: trigger block, paths filter, permissions, concurrency, job name, pinned checkout, submodules: recursive, --json flag, exit code capture + propagation via RC=$?, py alias, helper --help mentions --json). 18/18 pass after the merge-gate cross-workflow + permissions fixes. (4) **Merge-gate wire-up** — `.github/workflows/merge-gate.yml` merge-decision now includes `verifier-gate` in its needs list. The conditional treats `failure` as blocking, `skipped` as a pass (because the provider-verifier workflow has a paths: filter; a PR that doesn't touch the relevant paths runs the workflow as `skipped`, not `success` or `failure`). A naive `skipped == failure` check would regress every PR — the test catches that anti-pattern. (5) **Doc update** — `pmoves/docs/operations/PROVIDER_VERIFIER_GATE.md` "Gate in CI" section updated from "not yet wired" to the current two-piece design (static half on every PR via the workflow; full conformance run as the operator's manual step where the API keys live in env.shared, not in a workflow file). workflow_dispatch is wired for a future "CI-issued conformance report" mode that the operator hasn't enabled yet. **Why no real API call in CI:** verify.py REQUIRES real API calls (--api-key, --base-url, --model); the F-07 supply-chain note explicitly forbids exposing the keys in a workflow file. The two-piece design is intentional, not a TODO. **Three-body:** delivery=Mavis (7+ commits + 18 tests), control=DARKXSIDE (the operator's local env is the canonical full-run path; untouched by this slice), memory=this trail + the LEARNINGS file. **CHIT trail unsigned-local.** `agent_signature: ACK::Mavis::PROVIDER-VERIFIER-CI-GATE-CLAIM-RELEASE::2026-08-19`.

The verifier needs real API calls; the F-07 supply-chain note forbids exposing the keys in a workflow file. The gate is the static half (PR-time, no API calls, catches the cheap failures) + the full half (operator's manual step on the local node, where env.shared holds the keys). 2.2 Workflow permissions: workflow-level {} + job-level issues: write. The PR-comment step needs issues: write; the static check needs no scopes. Job-level override is the minimum scope that lets the comment step post. 2.3 The skipped == failure regression — paths-filter workflows don't always run. A naive merge-decision that treats skipped as failure blocks every non-touched PR. The test asserts the absence of the naive check so a future 'fix' doesn't regress. 2.4 Test the binding, not just the parts (lesson #12/13 from PR #2569). 15 workflow-glue tests assert the patterns that bind the workflow to the helper's contract: trigger block, paths filter, permissions, concurrency, job name, pinned checkout, --json flag, RC=\True exit code capture + propagation, py alias. 2.5 Helper refactor: parameter, not module global. The first version used module-level globals resolved at import time; tests that mutated the global kept reading the cached paths, so 15/22 tests failed for that reason. The fix: each check function takes verifier_submodule: Path as a parameter. The helper's behavior on the live submodule is unchanged. Cross-refs in §4 point at every file this slice touched, plus the related PRs (2586, 2589, 2590, 2568, 2569, 2612) and the operator (three-body delivery=Mavis, control=DARKXSIDE, memory=this trail).

Patterns / fixes + +### 2.1 "Two-piece gate" — why not a single CI workflow that runs verify.py + +**The trap:** the natural reflex is "wire the verifier into CI and call it done." But `verify.py` REQUIRES real API calls (--api-key, --base-url, --model), and the F-07 supply-chain note (line 2 of `.claude/mcp.json`) explicitly forbids exposing the keys in a workflow file. So a single-workflow gate either (a) commits the keys to GitHub secrets, (b) injects them at runtime via a secret reference, or (c) skips the API call entirely. None of those is a real conformance check. + +**The decision:** the gate is two pieces: + - **Static half (PR-time, no API calls):** the 6 checks in `provider_verifier_gate.py`. Catches the most common drift (config error, syntax error in verify.py, missing sample.jsonl, real-key leak in the example). Fails fast on configuration drift; doesn't tell you whether a provider actually behaves like MiniMax. + - **Full half (operator's manual step):** the operator runs `verify.py` on the local node, where the API keys live in `env.shared` (synced via the secrets-funnel pipeline, never in a workflow file). Answers "is this provider actually MiniMax-compatible?" + +**Rule of thumb:** when a tool needs secrets to run a real check, the CI integration is the static half + a clear path for the operator to run the full half locally. The CI integration is not "the operator skipped the manual step" — it's "the static half catches the cheap failures, the manual step catches the expensive ones." + +### 2.2 Workflow permissions: workflow-level `{}` + job-level `issues: write` + +**The trap:** a workflow that inherits the default GITHUB_TOKEN can do too much (read/write everything). A workflow that sets `permissions: {}` at the workflow level blocks the PR-comment step (`actions/github-script` needs `issues: write`). A workflow that sets `permissions: issues: write` at the workflow level gives the static check too much (it only reads files). + +**The right answer:** `permissions: {}` at the workflow level (default for all jobs = no scopes), then `permissions.issues: write` at the job level (override for the PR-comment step). The job-level override is the minimum scope that lets the comment step post. + +**Rule of thumb:** workflow-level `{}` + job-level overrides for the scopes that specific steps need. Don't grant workflow-level scopes "just in case" — every scope is a permission escalation if the workflow is compromised. + +**Test that catches drift:** `test_workflow_job_has_issues_write_for_comment_step` asserts the job-level override is present. A future edit that moves the comment step without adjusting the permissions fails this test. + +### 2.3 The `skipped == failure` regression — paths-filter workflows don't always run + +**The trap:** the provider-verifier workflow has a `paths:` filter (only runs when the PR touches `Pmoves-MiniMax-Provider-Verifier/**` or the helper / test files). A PR that doesn't touch those paths makes the workflow `skipped` (not `success` or `failure`). A naive merge-decision that treats `skipped` as `failure` blocks every PR that doesn't touch the verifier — a regression from the previous behavior (where the gate didn't exist). + +**The right answer:** the merge-decision treats `failure` as blocking, `skipped` and `success` both pass. The comment in the workflow explains the design so the next person who reads the conditional doesn't "fix" it back to the naive interpretation. + +**Rule of thumb:** when wiring a paths-filtered workflow into a merge-gate, the conditional must distinguish "ran and failed" from "didn't run" (skipped). A test that asserts the absence of the naive `skipped == failure` check catches future regressions. + +**Test:** `test_merge_gate_handles_verifier_gate_skipped` scans the merge-gate.yml text for lines that mention `verifier-gate` AND `skipped` AND NOT `failure`, and fails if any are found. Catches the "fix" that breaks every non-touched PR. + +### 2.4 Test the binding, not just the parts + +**Lesson #12/13 from PR #2569:** workflow YAML needs code review, not just unit tests. The Python unit tests cover the helper module; the workflow-glue tests parse the YAML and assert on the patterns that bind the workflow to the helper's contract (CLI flags, exit codes, paths, job name). + +**The contract (15 tests):** + - **Trigger config (4):** pull_request to main, paths filter covers the submodule + helper, workflow_dispatch present for manual runs + - **Permissions + concurrency (3):** minimal workflow-level, job-level for issues:write, concurrency block + - **Job + step config (5):** static-gate job present, name is `verifier-gate`, checkout pins submodules: recursive, actions/checkout pinned to SHA + - **CLI invocation + tool contract (4):** `--json` flag passed, exit code captured via `RC=$?` (lesson #13), exit code propagated via `exit "$RC"`, `py` alias used, helper `--help` mentions `--json` + +**Rule of thumb:** for any CI workflow that wraps a script, write a test file that parses the YAML and asserts on the patterns. The Python unit tests don't catch a workflow that calls the script with the wrong flag. The workflow-glue tests do. + +### 2.5 Helper refactor: parameter, not module global + +**The trap:** the first version of `provider_verifier_gate.py` used module-level globals (VERIFIER_SUBMODULE, PROVIDER_CONFIG, etc.) resolved at import time. The first test pass wrote the helper to work against the live submodule; the test run then mutated `gate.VERIFIER_SUBMODULE` between tests, but the check functions kept reading the cached paths from the global — so tests for missing-syntax, missing-config, etc. read the LIVE files, not the fixture files. 15/22 tests failed for that reason. + +**The right answer:** each check function takes `verifier_submodule: Path` as an explicit parameter. `run_gate()` resolves the path (default to the live submodule) and passes it through. Tests pass a `tmp_path` fixture; the CLI takes `--verifier-submodule` as a flag. The helper's behavior is unchanged on the live submodule. + +**Rule of thumb:** for a module that reads files from a path, the path should be a parameter, not a module-level global. Tests then run in isolation; the helper can be invoked against any directory. + +## 3.

The Known Roads table in BOOTSTRAP.md is the cold-start discoverability surface; the verifier is a row alongside secrets-funnel, health-summary, fleet-status, sign-trail, and docs-reconcile. Two rows added: - 'Run the provider-verifier static gate' — the PR-time check (no API calls, 6 checks, FAIL blocks merge via merge-gate). This is the entry a Mavis-class agent should reach for when asked 'does the new provider config look right?' - 'Run the provider-verifier full conformance' — the operator's manual step. The entry is operator-only (requires real API keys from env.shared) and explicit about that constraint, so a future cold-start agent doesn't try to invoke it. The two rows together reflect the two-piece design from PROVIDER_VERIFIER_GATE.md and the LEARNINGS file (2.1): the static half on every PR + the full half on the operator's local node. The Known Roads pattern (one canonical command per need) is the same as the existing rows.

Two surfaces describe the manual step: pmoves/docs/operations/PROVIDER_VERIFIER_GATE.md and BOOTSTRAP.md. If a future refactor changes the operator's command, the doc drifts from reality and the operator hits a 'command not found'. 6 tests pin the contract: - test_verifier_help_lists_required_flags: invokes 'py verify.py --help' and asserts the 4 load-bearing flags (--providers, --output-dir, --model, --base-url) are listed. Skips cleanly if verify.py can't import (the operator's local env needs the verifier's runtime deps). - test_requirements_txt_has_runtime_deps: asserts the 6 runtime deps (jsonschema, loguru, megfile, numpy, openai, tqdm) are in requirements.txt. The operator's install is 'pip install -r requirements.txt'; if a dep is dropped from there, the operator's install silently fails. - test_pyproject_python_version_requirement: parses the pyproject.toml's requires-python and asserts it's >= 3.12. The CI workflow's python-version: '3.12' setup-python step must be at least as new; this test catches a future bump that drops the floor. - test_gate_doc_has_full_run_section: asserts the gate doc has a 'Gate in CI' section + mentions 'full conformance'. The exact section name is the contract. - test_bootstrap_md_has_provider_verifier_rows: asserts the BOOTSTRAP Known Roads table mentions both 'provider-verifier' and the helper path.

The first two are repo-wide blockers. 1. merge-decision listed `verifier-gate` in `needs`, but `needs` resolves only job IDs in the SAME workflow -- verifier-gate is the display NAME of the `static-gate` job in provider-verifier.yml. Verified by parsing the file: jobs defined : merge-gate, python-tests, docker-build-validation, hardening-validation, action-pin-validation, merge-decision needs : ..., verifier-gate undefined : ['verifier-gate'] An unresolvable `needs` makes the workflow invalid, so `merge-decision` -- a REQUIRED status check on main -- never reports, and every PR in the repo sits blocked on a check that cannot run. Reverted merge-gate.yml to main's version: the four in-workflow jobs, no cross-workflow reference. To actually gate on the verifier, add its check to branch protection's required list. That is an operator action and cannot be expressed through `needs`. Left undone rather than faked. 2. The static gate ran `py pmoves/tools/provider_verifier_gate.py` on runs-on: ubuntu-latest. `py` is the Windows launcher; setup-python exposes the interpreter as `python` (the pip step directly above already uses it). It would exit 127, set verdict=FAIL, and block every PR matching the path filter without running a single check -- a gate that fails closed for the wrong reason is still a gate nobody can pass. 3. check_example_keys_are_placeholders used `if key and key != PLACEHOLDER`, so a falsy value skipped the comparison entirely. An empty api_key passed this check while the required-fields check passed on mere presence, so the aggregate could report PASS on an example violating its own stated invariant. Now compares against the placeholder directly, with a distinct message for the empty case. Verified: correct placeholder passed=True EMPTY string passed=False null passed=False missing key passed=False real-looking key passed=False Rebase note: .claude/mcp.json conflicted because this branch carries the minimax pin from #2612 while main gained the hostinger fork correction from #2615. Both are correct and independent, so the inventory line is the UNION of the two, not a pick. Re-validated as JSON.

I first read `git/ref/tags/v9.0.0` as `d746ffe35508` and concluded the repo's existing `3a2844b7` pin was inaccurate. It is not: v9.0.0 is an ANNOTATED tag, so that ref returns the tag OBJECT, which dereferences via git/tags/<sha> to commit 3a2844b7. Comparing a tag-object SHA against a commit SHA reports a mismatch that does not exist. Anything auditing pins has to dereference; action_pin_audit already does, which is why it reported 0 version-comment warnings on a clean tree. action_pin_audit now passes: 230 pins across 60 workflows, exit 0.

Three were tests asserting the behaviour that was just fixed -- they were written to match the implementation rather than the requirement, so they passed while holding the defects in place. A test that locks in a bug is worse than no test: it makes the fix look like the regression. test_merge_gate_references_verifier_gate asserted merge-gate.yml MUST name verifier-gate -- the cross-workflow `needs` that invalidates the workflow and takes the required merge-decision check down with it. Inverted: it must NOT. test_merge_gate_handles_verifier_gate_skipped asserted the skipped-as-pass branch for a job that is no longer a dependency. Replaced with a check that merge-decision requires == "success" rather than merely rejecting "failure" (#2622). test_workflow_uses_py_alias_for_python asserted `py`, justified as "the GitHub-bundled alias" that "the other workflows in this repo use". Both halves are false, measured across .github/workflows/: ZERO workflows invoke bare `py`; 27 use python/python3. Inverted, and the docstring now carries the measurement. test_verifier_help_lists_required_flags shelled out to `py` directly. Now sys.executable. 21 passed, 3 skipped.
