From a96af89526f7181543e7651100a944aa8e21812b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Rosenzweig <64241648+shellz-n-stuff@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:11:45 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Harden shared agent instruction review (#4220) ## Summary - render shared-agent instructions as literal text so Markdown cannot conceal spoiler contents, link destinations, or image sources - reject non-reviewable Unicode controls at every agent-definition boundary while preserving legitimate rendered emoji sequences - verify shared catalog event IDs and signatures before trusting authorship, coordinates, pagination, or executable content - preserve the exact system-prompt bytes between review and execution instead of silently stripping or normalizing content ## Security rationale Shared system prompts are executable configuration. Previously, catalog prompts were projected through the chat Markdown renderer, which could hide text, replace link destinations with benign labels, and turn image syntax into remote loads. Zero-width and bidirectional controls could also make reviewed text differ from what the agent executes. This change establishes a review invariant: the prompt a user sees is the prompt the agent executes. Definitions that cannot be reviewed faithfully are rejected rather than rewritten. Catalog events must also pass Nostr ID/signature verification before they can claim a publisher, coordinate, or cursor. ## What changed - catalog instructions render as exact literal text rather than rich Markdown - catalog relay events are verified on a fresh wire-shaped object before paging, coordinate selection, attribution, or projection - forged content, pubkeys, signatures, and invalid newer heads are ignored and cannot shadow a valid signed definition - TypeScript catalog parsing rejects unsafe remote definitions before they reach the UI - shared Rust validation covers persona create/update/import, inbound relay sync, definition-less managed-agent sync, and catalog publication paths - definition-less managed agents now fail closed on local create, local update, and publication before persistence or relay retention - linked managed agents validate their local name while treating the persona definition as authoritative; their inert record-level prompt is not executed or published - names reject layout controls; prompts retain ordinary newlines and tabs - legitimate emoji composition is supported, including contextual VS16, ZWJ, skin-tone, family, flag, and keycap sequences - detached selectors/joiners, bidirectional controls, tag characters, zero-width concealment, and other default-ignorables remain rejected - names are bounded to 128 characters and prompts to 64 KiB - contributor guidance documents the byte-for-byte review requirement for future sharing paths Validation reports the offending code point and never silently removes it. ## E2E recording [buzz-shared-agent-security-e2e.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/44d6b75f-0877-490f-bda4-a716fae3f700) The recording demonstrates: - a safe definition remains visible - a prompt containing zero-width `U+200B` is rejected - a name containing bidi override `U+202E` is rejected - the prompt is preserved exactly - spoiler, link, and image syntax remains literal and does not render or load ## Verification Passed locally: - `just test`: all 10 unit and Docker-backed integration stages - desktop frontend unit suite: 4,295 tests - persona catalog relay unit suite: 32 tests, including forged-event and cursor-shadowing cases - focused Rust definition-validation coverage: 3 local create/update tests and 6 publication-filtered tests - complete desktop Tauri library suite after rebase: 2,263 passed, 14 ignored, 0 failed - desktop Tauri clippy with warnings denied and Rust formatting - complete agent Playwright spec: 34 tests - the exact formerly failing `inbox-edit` immediate-attachment smoke test after rebase: 1 test - focused shared-agent publish, literal-review, hidden-control, signature, and cross-member import Playwright coverage - desktop E2E production build and TypeScript typecheck - changed-file formatting/lint and file-size ratchet - pre-commit secret scan and DCO signoff The branch was rebased onto current `main`, which includes the upstream attachment-button label fix. Fresh post-rebase GitHub CI is green for every required and selected check: Desktop Core, all four Desktop Smoke E2E shards, both Desktop E2E Integration shards and their aggregate, Desktop E2E Relay, Desktop Build (macOS), Windows Rust, Rust Lint, DCO, security scanners, and Desktop Release Candidate. The previously failing `Desktop Smoke E2E (3)` shard now passes. The repository-wide desktop check also reports existing CSS formatting/`!important` findings in `components.css` and `terminal.css`; neither file is changed by this PR. GitHub's Desktop Core lint and format stage passes on the rebased branch. --------- Signed-off-by: Alex Rosenzweig --- .../src-tauri/src/commands/agent_models.rs | 32 +- .../src/commands/agent_models_tests.rs | 6 +- desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/agents.rs | 6 +- .../src/commands/managed_agent_definition.rs | 124 ++++++++ desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs | 1 + .../src-tauri/src/commands/personas/create.rs | 9 +- .../src/commands/personas/inbound.rs | 43 ++- .../personas/inbound/inbound_tests.rs | 62 +++- .../src/commands/personas/pending.rs | 20 ++ .../src-tauri/src/commands/personas/update.rs | 3 +- .../src/managed_agents/agent_events.rs | 31 ++ .../src/managed_agents/agent_snapshot.rs | 9 + .../managed_agents/definition_validation.rs | 270 ++++++++++++++++ desktop/src-tauri/src/managed_agents/mod.rs | 4 + desktop/src/features/agents/AGENTS.md | 14 + .../agents/lib/personaCatalogRelay.test.mjs | 293 +++++++++++++++--- .../agents/lib/personaCatalogRelay.ts | 153 ++++++++- .../agents/ui/PersonaCatalogDialog.tsx | 40 ++- .../ui/personaCatalogOwnerLabel.test.mjs | 30 +- desktop/src/testing/e2eBridge.ts | 20 +- desktop/tests/e2e/agents.spec.ts | 151 +++++++-- 21 files changed, 1179 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) create mode 100644 desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/managed_agent_definition.rs create mode 100644 desktop/src-tauri/src/managed_agents/definition_validation.rs diff --git a/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/agent_models.rs b/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/agent_models.rs index 4704582372d..183f27dba12 100644 --- a/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/agent_models.rs +++ b/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/agent_models.rs @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ use serde::Deserialize; use tauri::{AppHandle, State}; use super::agent_model_process::run_agent_models_command; +use super::managed_agent_definition::apply_model_provider_prompt_update; // The map-only lookup is reached solely from the base-URL helpers that exist for // their unit tests; discovery itself always goes through the process-env variant. #[cfg(test)] @@ -696,35 +697,6 @@ use databricks::{ }; use databricks::{discover_databricks_models, DatabricksAuthIntent}; -/// Apply an `UpdateManagedAgentRequest`'s model/provider/system_prompt patch -/// to `record`, enforcing the linked-instance write guard: a definition-linked -/// record's model/provider/prompt are definition-authoritative (see -/// `effective_config::resolve_linked`), so writes to these three fields are -/// silently dropped for a linked instance rather than persisting a byte the -/// resolver will never read.
