Conversation
Replace the flat key=value feature-toggles.conf with a fully comprehensive namespaced JSONC configuration file (aidevops.defaults.jsonc). Every configurable opinion in the codebase is now properly namespaced under semantic categories: updates, integrations, orchestration, safety, ui, models, quality, verification, and paths. New files: - .agents/configs/aidevops.defaults.jsonc — all defaults with comments - .agents/configs/aidevops-config.schema.json — JSON Schema for validation - .agents/scripts/config-helper.sh — JSONC reader/writer (jq-based) Key design decisions: - JSONC format supports comments, schema refs, and object values - User config at ~/.config/aidevops/config.jsonc overrides defaults - Automatic migration from legacy feature-toggles.conf on first use - Full backward compatibility: get_feature_toggle/is_feature_enabled still work with flat keys, mapped to new dotpaths internally - Falls back to legacy .conf parsing when jq is not available - Environment variables still take highest priority Updated scripts: - shared-constants.sh: loads JSONC config, backward-compatible API - feature-toggle-helper.sh: delegates to config-helper.sh - aidevops.sh: config command prefers config-helper.sh - setup.sh, setup-modules/config.sh, auto-update-helper.sh: updated comments to reference new namespaced dotpaths Closes #2730

Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant and well-designed improvement by replacing the flat .conf configuration with a namespaced JSONC system, including a JSON schema, default configurations, automatic migration from the legacy system, and full backward compatibility. The new config-helper.sh provides a robust CLI for managing settings. However, the implementation of config-helper.sh contains critical command injection vulnerabilities due to direct interpolation of user-supplied input (CLI arguments and configuration file content) into shell command strings when calling jq, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. These issues are highlighted with references to established repository rules for safe jq usage. Additionally, there is an issue in the JSONC parsing logic within config-helper.sh that could lead to incorrect parsing of files with multiple block comments on a single line.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The dotpath variable, derived from CLI arguments, is directly interpolated into a jq filter string within double quotes. In bash, double quotes allow command substitution ($(...)) and variable expansion. An attacker providing a malicious dotpath can achieve arbitrary command execution on the host system. For example, a dotpath like $(id) would trigger the execution of the id command.
To remediate this, avoid direct interpolation of variables into shell commands. Use jq's --arg or --argjson flags to pass data safely to the jq process. For dynamic paths, you can use JQ's getpath or path functions combined with split(".").

The jq_value variable, which contains user-supplied input from the CLI, is interpolated into a jq command string within double quotes. This allows for command substitution if the input contains characters like $(...). Even though there is some type coercion for booleans and numbers, the default case (string) wraps the value in quotes and interpolates it directly into the jq command line, leading to a command injection vulnerability.
Remediation: Use jq --arg to pass the value safely to the jq process instead of interpolating it into the command string.

The jq_path_array variable, constructed from the user-supplied dotpath, is interpolated into a jq command string. If the dotpath contains shell metacharacters, it can lead to arbitrary command execution. Although dotpath is checked against defaults later in the function, the check itself (on line 528) is also vulnerable to the same injection.
Remediation: Use jq --argjson to pass the path array safely to jq.

During the migration of legacy configuration files, values are read from the file and interpolated into a jq command string without sanitization. A malicious or corrupted legacy configuration file could trigger arbitrary command execution when the migration logic is invoked (which happens automatically on first use of the new config system).
Remediation: Use jq --arg to pass the value safely to the jq process.

| gsub(/\/\*[^*]*\*\//, "", line) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The gsub for stripping single-line block comments (/* ... */) doesn't handle multiple occurrences on the same line. This can lead to incorrect parsing of the JSONC file. For example, a line like key: "value", /* c1 */ key2: "value2" /* c2 */ would be partially parsed, and the script would incorrectly think it's inside a multi-line block comment.
To fix this, the gsub should be in a while loop to remove all occurrences.

In @.agents/scripts/auto-update-helper.sh:
- Around line 387-393: The numeric interval/freshness values are read directly
from AIDEVOPS_* env vars and ignore JSONC config; update the code paths that set
numeric values (in functions like check_skill_freshness and the analogous
tool/openclaw/update-loop code mentioned) to call config_get (from
config-helper.sh) for the keys updates.skill_freshness_hours,
updates.tool_idle_hours, updates.tool_freshness_hours,
updates.openclaw_freshness_hours, and updates.update_interval_minutes so JSONC
values are respected with the same env-var override semantics; ensure you coerce
the returned value to an integer, fall back to the existing hardcoded default
when config_get returns empty, and keep boolean feature checks using
is_feature_enabled/config_enabled unchanged.
In @.agents/scripts/config-helper.sh:
- Around line 26-35: The script currently unconditionally runs "set -euo
pipefail" and uses "exit" which mutates caller shell options and can terminate
callers when the file is sourced; change this by detecting whether the script is
being executed or sourced (compare "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" to "${0}") and only apply
"set -euo pipefail" when executed, and replace the unconditional "|| exit" after
computing _CONFIG_HELPER_DIR with a conditional fallback that uses "exit 1" when
executed and "return 1" when sourced; keep existing references to
_CONFIG_HELPER_DIR, _SHARED_CONSTANTS_LOADED, and the shared-constants.sh source
logic intact while ensuring sourcing does not alter the caller's shell options
or forcibly terminate it.
- Around line 54-124: _strip_jsonc currently hides parse errors by returning
"{}" on jq failure; change it to propagate failures (return non-zero) and print
a clear error instead of falling back to {} so callers can fail fast (update
function _strip_jsonc). Update cmd_validate to call _strip_jsonc and if it
fails, exit non-zero and print the original file path and parse error (replace
the current silent-success path that treats "{}" as valid). Add explicit schema
validation using the existing JSONC_SCHEMA (referenced symbol JSONC_SCHEMA) —
e.g., if python and the jsonschema module are present, invoke a short python -c
snippet to load the stripped JSON and JSONC_SCHEMA and run jsonschema.validate,
otherwise fail with a helpful message; ensure cmd_validate checks that
jsonschema validation succeeded and returns non-zero on schema mismatch. Ensure
no code path treats a fallback "{}" as success and preserve stderr output for
debugging.
- Around line 351-359: The string branch of the value-handling logic is
constructing unescaped jq literals which break on quotes/backslashes; update the
logic in _migrate_conf_to_jsonc and cmd_set so string values are produced via jq
-Rn --arg v "$value" '$v' (capture its output into jq_value) instead of
embedding escaped quotes manually; specifically replace the case statement's
string branch (jq_value="\"$value\"") with a safe jq -Rn --arg v "$value" '$v'
invocation and use that jq_value in the subsequent setpath calls so all string
values are safely escaped for jq.
In @.agents/scripts/feature-toggle-helper.sh:
- Around line 30-37: Remove the misleading "using legacy mode" log and the
unsafe source call: delete the echo "[WARN] config-helper.sh not found, using
legacy mode" line and remove the source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/shared-constants.sh"
invocation, then replace the block with a single deterministic error path that
writes the deprecation message to stderr (use >&2) and exits with code 1 (keep
the existing echo "[ERROR] Legacy feature-toggle-helper.sh is deprecated." >&2
and the "Run 'aidevops update'..." message followed by exit 1) so no sourcing
occurs and the script fails deterministically.

Validation silently accepts malformed JSONC and skips schema enforcement—breaking reliability guarantees.
The _strip_jsonc() function at line 119 falls back to {} on parse errors, allowing cmd_validate to report success even when the configuration file is corrupted. Additionally, cmd_validate (lines 722-759) only validates JSON syntax; it never enforces the JSONC_SCHEMA defined on line 3, leaving no guard against invalid configurations.
Specific issues:
- Line 119:
echo "$stripped" | jq '.' 2>/dev/null || echo "{}"masks malformed JSONC as valid empty objects - Lines 738 and 748:
cmd_validatevalidates only the syntax of the fallback{}, not the original file's integrity - No schema validation is performed against
JSONC_SCHEMAanywhere in the validation flow
This violates the DevOps framework's zero-debt principle. Configuration errors should fail fast, not silently degrade to defaults.

- Around line 764-800: cmd_validate currently only checks parseability of
JSONC_DEFAULTS and JSONC_USER via _strip_jsonc + jq and never applies
JSONC_SCHEMA; update cmd_validate so that after producing defaults_json and
user_json it checks whether JSONC_SCHEMA is set and the schema file exists, then
runs a schema validator against each JSON blob (e.g., using ajv-cli if available
or python's jsonschema) and treats any schema validation failures as errors (set
exit_code=1 and emit a clear error with the validator output), using the
existing variable names JSONC_SCHEMA, JSONC_DEFAULTS, JSONC_USER and the
_strip_jsonc output to locate the payloads to validate; ensure validation is
performed for both defaults and user config (when present) and that the function
returns nonzero on schema mismatch.
- Line 159: The code currently silences failures when parsing JSONC into
user_json by falling back to "{}"; instead, detect the failure of _strip_jsonc
when computing user_json (the call using JSONC_USER) and do not overwrite errors
silently: capture the stderr/output from _strip_jsonc, write a clear error
message to stderr including the parsing error and a hint about the malformed
JSONC/JSON_USER content, and exit non‑zero (e.g., exit 1) so operators see the
problem rather than losing user overrides.
In @.agents/scripts/shared-constants.sh:
- Around line 1381-1398: The JSONC branch in _load_config currently sets
_AIDEVOPS_CONFIG_MODE="jsonc" based only on jq and defaults presence; update it
to also verify the helper functions (e.g., config_get and config_enabled) are
available (e.g., using type or command -v) before switching to JSONC, and if
they are missing either attempt to source the config-helper (or fall back) and
otherwise set _AIDEVOPS_CONFIG_MODE="legacy" and call
_load_feature_toggles_legacy; also ensure the migration call
(_migrate_conf_to_jsonc) is invoked only after confirming those helper functions
exist to avoid runtime failures.

Pulse dispatch: CodeRabbit and Gemini reviews have CHANGES_REQUESTED with real security issues. Dispatching a worker to address them. Key issues to fix:
Resolves #2730 |
- config-helper.sh: detect malformed user config instead of silently
falling back to {} — emit error to stderr in _merge_configs, cmd_list,
cmd_set, and cmd_reset (missing file is still OK, parse failure is not)
- config-helper.sh cmd_validate: add JSON Schema validation using
ajv-cli or python3 jsonschema when available, with safe argv passing
- shared-constants.sh _load_config: guard JSONC mode on config_get and
config_enabled function availability, not just jq + defaults file
Issues #1 (eval→printf -v), #3 (jq --arg for strings), #4 (sourced vs
executed detection), and #7 (deterministic exit 1) were already fixed
in the prior commit.

- Around line 931-934: The code currently swallows both stderr and the exit
status of _migrate_conf_to_jsonc; change it to run the migration, capture its
exit code and stderr, and surface failures by either logging a debug/warn
message to stderr or creating a one-time flag file that triggers a CLI notice on
next run. Concretely: call _migrate_conf_to_jsonc without redirecting stderr,
capture its exit status ($?) and output, and on non-zero exit either echo a
clear message to stderr referencing OLD_CONF_USER and JSONC_USER or touch a
persistent flag (e.g., ~/.aidevops/migrate_failed) so the CLI can show
"auto-migration failed, please run 'aidevops config migrate'". Ensure success
continues to behave as before (remove the flag on success).

Dispatching a worker to address the CodeRabbit CHANGES_REQUESTED review feedback. Key issues to fix:
Resolves #2730 |
Replace '|| true' with explicit error handling that warns users when
auto-migration from legacy config fails. Both config-helper.sh main()
and shared-constants.sh _load_config() now emit a stderr warning with
actionable guidance ('aidevops config migrate') instead of silently
continuing with no user config applied.
Addresses CodeRabbit CHANGES_REQUESTED review on PR #2731.

Log jq deep-merge failures in _merge_configs instead of silently falling back to defaults. Addresses CodeRabbit nitpick from the post-fix review (2026-03-02T21:24:32Z). Previous commits already addressed the two CHANGES_REQUESTED issues: - f4cfcba: propagate malformed user config error (return 1) - d093867: check _strip_jsonc exit status in cmd_validate - 4e6e046: surface auto-migration failures

Supervisor pulse: CI passes but CodeRabbit has CHANGES_REQUESTED (config-helper.sh ~line 931-934: migration errors swallowed). Dispatched worker to fix. Issue: #2730. |
The _migrate_conf_to_jsonc call in main() swallowed both stderr and the exit status (2>/dev/null). Now captures stderr separately for diagnostic logging, preserves the exit code, and touches ~/.aidevops/migrate_failed on failure so the CLI can surface 'auto-migration failed' to the user. On success, removes the flag file. Closes #2730

Worker dispatching now. |

Supervisor pulse killed the worker (PID 3077285, uptime 01:45, struggle_ratio 5638, 0 commits) that was dispatched to fix CodeRabbit issues. Investigation shows all 5 flagged issues were already addressed by the human author (alex-solovyev) in commits f4cfcba, d093867, 4e6e046, 754c29f, b255403. The worker was thrashing on a solved problem. All CI checks are green. The last CodeRabbit review (PRR_kwDOQSEXLM7nMRhe, commit 4e6e046) was COMMENTED (nitpick only), not CHANGES_REQUESTED. The blocking CHANGES_REQUESTED (PRR_kwDOQSEXLM7nLzoT) was on commit d093867 and all its issues were resolved in subsequent commits. Dismissing stale review to unblock merge. |
