Three calls in the bridges could hang indefinitely; the codebase convention is an explicit timeout on every urlopen (most already have one). Adds a ceiling on hangs — happy-path behaviour unchanged.

  • discord-bridge.py _send_via_rest chunk loop: urlopen(req) → urlopen(req, timeout=10) (one-shot send CLI path; a hung Discord API connection blocked it).
  • telegram-bridge.py file download: urlretrieve (no timeout kwarg → infinite default) → urlopen+stream with timeout=30, mirroring slack-bridge.py's identical download path. This one is in the live bridge task path.
  • discord-bridge.py interpreter-rescue probe: subprocess.run("import discord") → timeout=20 + continue on TimeoutExpired/OSError, so a wedged candidate interpreter can't hang bridge startup.

Scope: +10/−3, two files. py_compile clean on both.

Note: freshly re-applied onto current main — the original prepared branch (fix/bridge-network-timeouts) predated #1878 and carried a stale agent-room-ops revert, so it couldn't be pushed as-is; this is just the 3 real hunks.

Three calls could hang indefinitely; the codebase convention is an explicit
timeout on every urlopen (most already have one):

- discord-bridge.py _send_via_rest chunk loop: urlopen(req) -> timeout=10
  (one-shot `send` CLI path; a hung Discord API connection blocked it).
- telegram-bridge.py file download: urlretrieve (no timeout -> infinite default)
  -> urlopen+stream with timeout=30, mirroring slack-bridge.py's download path.
  This one is in the live bridge task path.
- discord-bridge.py interpreter-rescue probe: subprocess.run(import discord)
  -> timeout=20 + continue on TimeoutExpired/OSError, so a wedged candidate
  interpreter can't hang bridge startup.

Behaviour unchanged on the happy path; only adds a ceiling on hangs. Freshly
re-applied onto current main (the original fix/bridge-network-timeouts branch
predated #1878 and carried a stale revert).

LGTM — well-scoped defensive fix. All three unguarded calls now bounded:

  • rescue-candidate subprocess.run → timeout=20 + except (TimeoutExpired, OSError): continue — a wedged interpreter can no longer hang bridge startup. ✅
  • Discord _send_via_rest urlopen(req, timeout=10) ✅
  • Telegram download_file → urlopen(req, timeout=30) (+ UA header) ✅

Two small non-blocking notes:

  1. The Telegram change swaps urlretrieve (streams to disk) for resp.read() (whole file into memory). Fine under the standard Bot API's 20 MB download cap; just worth noting if this ever moves to the local Bot API (2 GB files) — you'd want chunked shutil.copyfileobj(resp, f) there.
  2. The User-Agent: Sutando header is a slight scope-add beyond "timeouts," but it's harmless and consistent with the Discord-side UA convention, so no objection.

Merge is the owner's call.

LGTM. Three independent timeout gaps closed: interpreter-check subprocess (20s), REST send urlopen (10s), and file download urlretrieve → urlopen with timeout=30. All values are reasonable for their context. The User-Agent header on the Telegram download is a safe improvement.

LGTM — clean +10/-3 fix.

  • Interpreter rescue: timeout=20 + except (TimeoutExpired, OSError): continue is the right shape — wedged candidate skipped, startup unblocked.
  • _send_via_rest: adding timeout=10 to urlopen is the correct one-liner; the existing except Exception already catches socket.timeout so the error path is unchanged.
  • Telegram download: urlretrieve → urlopen(..., timeout=30) matches slack-bridge.py's identical path. resp.read() buffers in memory, but Telegram API caps files at ~20 MB so not a concern in practice.

All three are minimal, follow the codebase convention, happy-path unchanged.

@liususan091219 addressed — you were right that the diff buffered (resp.read()) while the body claimed streaming. f2f16f5 delivers the claim: shutil.copyfileobj(resp, f) at the same call site, so the download is now genuinely streamed with the same 30s timeout. (Note: slack-bridge's own download path also buffers — same 1-line upgrade applies there, but it's out of scope for this timeouts PR; happy to file it separately.)

Resolved the merge conflict with current main (c71a637d): a single trivial hunk in src/telegram-bridge.py — both sides added an import at the same spot (PR's shutil, main's secrets); kept both. Compiles clean; full telegram-bridge suite green on the merged tree (access 17/17, redirect-guard, forward-attribution 9/9, proactive-owner-resolution, progress-stream). Back to MERGEABLE.

Blocking finding on exact head d723a8e284ea1bced3aa7e5a32f8d5a15972f25f:

The current code change looks directionally correct, and the earlier false-claim issue is addressed by streaming Telegram downloads with urlopen(..., timeout=30) plus shutil.copyfileobj(). However, the required diff-coverage gate is red on this head: GitHub reports only 11% diff coverage, with uncovered changed lines in src/discord-bridge.py and src/telegram-bridge.py around the new timeout/error-handling branches. Please add focused coverage or otherwise make the required gate green before merge.

Focused local verification passed: Python compilation with isolated pycache, tests/telegram-writeside-attachments.test.py, tests/discord-http-retry.test.py, git diff --check origin/main...HEAD, and the hardcoded-path review scan. Required CI still blocks this PR.

Reviewed by Qingyun's Personal Codex.

The diff-coverage gate was red (11%): the three bounded call sites are
module-top-level or live-client code, so no existing test executed them.
New tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py compiles the exact AST segments
against the real file paths (original line numbers preserved) and runs
them with controlled fakes:

- rescue probe: wedged candidate (TimeoutExpired) and broken candidate
  (OSError) are SKIPPED not fatal, every probe bounded timeout=20, the
  healthy candidate re-execs; 'import discord' forced to fail via a
  meta-path hook so the branch runs even where discord.py is installed.
- _send_via_rest: urlopen bounded timeout=10; failed send exits 1.
- telegram download_file: imported normally; streamed bytes land intact
  under INBOX_DIR, urlopen bounded timeout=30, User-Agent set, stalled
  download returns None.

13/13 green; local coverage confirms every executable changed line in
both bridges is credited (58-59 are continuation lines, not statements).

@qingyun-wu coverage blocker addressed at 6cc62353: new tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py executes all three bounded call sites — the module-top-level rescue probe is exercised by compiling the exact AST segment against the real file path (original line numbers preserved) with import discord forced to fail via a meta-path hook, so the branch runs deterministically in CI and on dev machines alike.

Covered branches + pinned bounds:

  • rescue probe: TimeoutExpired candidate skipped, OSError candidate skipped, healthy candidate re-execed, every probe timeout=20
  • _send_via_rest: timeout=10 asserted; failed send still exits 1
  • telegram download_file: streamed bytes intact, timeout=30 + User-Agent asserted, stalled download → None

13/13 green locally; coverage json confirms every executable changed line in both bridges is credited (the two uncredited line numbers in the artifact are continuation lines of the multi-line subprocess.run( call — not statements, so diff-cover excludes them). CI re-running on this head.

[P1] The new timeout-guard test imports src/telegram-bridge.py without isolating CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or CLAUDE_HOME. SUTANDO_WORKSPACE no longer redirects that surface; on module import, telegram-bridge.py resolves claude_home_path("channels", "telegram", ".env") and, if present, chmods and reads the user's real ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env. My local run reproduced this: python3 tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py passed, but emitted the Claude-home fallback banner and attempted to chmod /Users/qingyun-air/.claude/channels/telegram/.env. That makes the committed test depend on host state and lets it touch a developer/operator credential file. Please set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or CLAUDE_HOME to a temp dir before importing the bridge, or test download_file() via a compiled segment with injected globals as the Discord cases do.

…mport

qingyun's re-review caught a real host-state dependency: importing
src/telegram-bridge.py resolves claude_home_path(...telegram/.env) at
module load and, when present, chmods + reads the developer's REAL
~/.claude credential file (reproduced on his host as a chmod attempt).
The test now points CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR at a fresh temp dir before the
import, so the resolution lands in an empty sandbox. 13/13 still green
locally with zero claude-home fallback banner in the output.

@qingyun-wu fixed at 7b012110: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR now points at a fresh temp dir BEFORE the telegram-bridge import, so the module-load claude_home_path(...telegram/.env) resolution lands in an empty sandbox instead of the developer's real ~/.claude (your chmod repro). 13/13 green locally with zero claude-home fallback banner in the run output.

[P1] The new test still binds part of the Telegram access-control surface to the developer's real Claude home when ~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json exists. The new CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR temp dir prevents the .env chmod/read issue, but the import still calls channel_access_path("telegram"); because the temp canonical channels/telegram/access.json is missing, channel_access_path() falls back to the legacy real-home access file.

That leaves the committed test dependent on host state, and it leaves tg.ACCESS_FILE pointing at a real operator allowlist inside a unit test process. Please create a minimal canonical access file under the temp CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/channels/telegram/access.json before importing telegram-bridge.py, or otherwise disable the legacy fallback for this test, so the import is fully hermetic.

…is hermetic

Addresses qingyun's P1 on #1886.

Setting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR was not sufficient. The bridge also calls
channel_access_path("telegram"), which falls back to the LEGACY real-home
~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json whenever the canonical path is absent —
so the committed test still bound part of the Telegram access-control surface to
the developer's machine, left tg.ACCESS_FILE pointing at a real operator
allowlist inside a unit test, and emitted:

    [util_paths] DEPRECATION: using legacy /Users/<dev>/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json

Seeding an empty allowlist at the canonical temp path removes the fallback.

Verified by REPRODUCING the failure first. It does not reproduce on an arbitrary
box — it needs the developer to actually have a real-home access.json, which is
why the test looked clean locally. Forcing that precondition with a temp HOME:

    HOME=<tmp with .claude/channels/telegram/access.json>
      without this fix -> 1 legacy-fallback warning   (qingyun's repro)
      with this fix    -> 0

Also green: tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py (all guards), py_compile on
discord-bridge.py + telegram-bridge.py + the test, git diff --check.

P1 addressed in 026e2915.

You were right that CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR alone wasn't enough. The bridge also calls channel_access_path("telegram"), which falls back to the legacy real-home file whenever the canonical path is missing — so the test still bound to host state and left tg.ACCESS_FILE pointing at a real operator allowlist. Fixed by seeding an empty allowlist at the canonical temp path before the import.

Worth flagging how I verified it, because the obvious check is misleading: the failure does not reproduce on an arbitrary machine. It needs the developer to actually have ~/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json — I don't, so the test looked clean locally with and without the fix. Confirming that way would have been a false pass.

So I forced your precondition with a temp HOME:

HOME=<tmp containing .claude/channels/telegram/access.json>
  without the fix →  1 legacy-fallback DEPRECATION warning   ← your repro
  with the fix    →  0

Also green: tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py (all guards pass), py_compile on discord-bridge.py + telegram-bridge.py + the test, and git diff --check.

Authored in a throwaway worktree; live checkout untouched.

Approved at exact head 026e2915. The new commit fixes the remaining hermeticity blocker: it seeds the canonical temp channels/telegram/access.json before importing the bridge, so channel_access_path("telegram") no longer falls back to an operator's real allowlist. I reran the focused suite with HOME deliberately containing a legacy .claude/channels/telegram/access.json; all 13 timeout-guard checks passed with no fallback warning. Compilation, Ruff, the adjacent Telegram redirect suite (6/6), source-map check, diff hygiene, REVIEW path scan, coverage, and CLA pass. The three production timeout changes remain bounded and fail-soft. Worst-case disruption is limited to bounded failures rather than indefinite bridge hangs. Code-ready from this lane; not yet merge-ready because the branch is behind current main and the clean-install check is still running—refresh, rerun gates, and obtain fresh approval as required.

Approval signal for head 026e2915dabad1dd813ddd2c4c9233453d3b21bd.

No blockers after the hermeticity fix. The test now sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR and seeds the canonical channels/telegram/access.json before importing telegram-bridge.py, so it no longer falls back to the operator's legacy Telegram allowlist. The focused coverage exercises the bounded interpreter probe, Discord REST send timeout, and streamed Telegram download timeout paths.

  • PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=/private/tmp/sutando-pr1886-pycache-1819 python3 -m py_compile src/discord-bridge.py src/telegram-bridge.py tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py passed

@qingyun-wu — your P1 is already fixed; the review is against a superseded head. Not asking you to take that on trust, so here is the reproduction of your own check.

You reviewed 7b012110. Head is 026e2915, and the one commit between them is literally the fix:

026e2915 test(bridges): seed the canonical telegram access file so the import is hermetic

Your exact symptom, re-run at current head. You reported:

[util_paths] DEPRECATION: using legacy /Users/qingyun-air/.claude/channels/telegram/access.json …

$ PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX=… python3 tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py
bridge timeout-guard invariants hold.

DEPRECATION lines in output      : 0
real-home ~/.claude/channels refs: 0

The test now seeds the canonical file before the import:

os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="ccd-timeout-guards-")
_ccd_tg = Path(os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"]) / "channels" / "telegram"
(_ccd_tg / "access.json").write_text('{"allowFrom": []}')

Independent cross-check: scripts/lint-hermetic-bridge-tests.py — the gate from #2429 — classifies this file clean at the current head. That's a second, unrelated checker agreeing the import no longer touches host state.

Your focused-verification list, re-run verbatim at 026e2915:

py_compile (discord-bridge, telegram-bridge, the test)      PASS
tests/telegram-bridge-channel-redirect-guard.test.py        PASS
scripts/gen-src-map.py --check                              PASS
tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py                         PASS

MERGEABLE, all GitHub checks green.

Worth saying: this is the same defect class you caught on #2157 an hour ago, and the one #2429 exists to make un-shippable — CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR alone is not isolation, because channel_access_path() falls back to the legacy real-home file. You've now found it in three of my PRs. The gate should stop the fourth.

Could you refresh the review state when you get a chance? Happy to run anything further if you'd rather re-verify independently.

All asks addressed — the stale CHANGES_REQUESTED will be dismissed in the next owner-approved batch.

That dismissal never happened, so reviewDecision is still CHANGES_REQUESTED and mergeStateStatus is BLOCKED — even though the two write approvals the ruleset requires are both present and current. (marklysze/amkunte read-only approvals wouldn't count here; both of these are write.)

I also just ran gh pr update-branch — the branch was BEHIND, now at ba56a5dc, CI re-running. I verified both approvals survived the push (the ruleset has dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push: false), so no approval was lost by refreshing.

One honest caveat: qingyun's approval text pins head 026e2915, which is the pre-update SHA. The update was a merge of main, not a content change to the PR's own diff, and the approval persists by ruleset — but if a reviewer wants the approval re-pinned to ba56a5dc, that's a fair ask.

Nothing here is actionable by me — dismissing a review is a formal review-state action, and my gh auth is the repo owner's identity, so I won't touch it. @sonichi: this one needs either liususan to dismiss their own stale request or you to dismiss it; after that (and green CI) it satisfies the gate.

Reviewed exact head 353fc63.

Independent evidence:

  • python3 tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py — 13/13 timeout-guard invariants passed.
  • Adjacent Telegram attachment, Discord HTTP retry (9/9), and Telegram redirect-guard (6/6) suites passed.
  • py_compile, gen-src-map.py --check, git diff --check, and scripts/review-checks.sh passed.
  • origin/main is already an ancestor of this head (git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...origin/main = 8 0), so the exact-head run also covers current-main cumulative interaction.

The three formerly unbounded operations now have explicit timeouts while preserving their failure contracts, and the Telegram download path streams the response with the required request header. No blocker found.

CI caught this the moment #1886 merged into main: the stricter hermetic lint
flagged tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py, which is not on the grandfather
list because it entered main AFTER that list was written.

The gate is right. That file exec-loads DISCORD_SRC and TELEGRAM_SRC but seeded
only channels/telegram/access.json. channel_access_path() resolves PER CHANNEL,
so the canonical discord file was never created and the discord import could
still fall back to the operator real allowlist - the exact per-channel gap
qingyun found in review 11 of this PR, now caught in the wild on a file I wrote.

Seeds channels/discord/access.json alongside telegram.

  before: lint FAIL - tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py
  after : lint ok (63 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0)

The test itself still passes, and the lint suite is unchanged.

Deliberately NOT grandfathered. Adding a brand-new violation to KNOWN_UNISOLATED
is how that list rots - it is supposed to shrink. The file is three hours old and
the fix is three lines.

…_CONFIG_DIR (#2429)

* chore(lint): refuse bridge tests that import without isolating CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

The bridges resolve channel config at MODULE level, so it runs during exec_module,
before a test can intervene:

  src/discord-bridge.py:205  channels_env = claude_home_path("channels","discord",".env")
  src/discord-bridge.py:555  ACCESS_FILE  = channel_access_path("discord")

channel_access_path() reads $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR and falls back to the legacy real-home
~/.claude/channels/<ch>/access.json. A test that never sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR inherits
whatever the developer has, so the symptom is machine-dependent: legacy-fallback
deprecation warning on a clean box, silent read of the operator real channel allowlist
on an operator box. Green everywhere, trustworthy nowhere. Setting a bot token does not
help -- that stops the .env read, never the access resolution.

Verified by re-running the import with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR popped from the env:
  ACCESS_FILE = /Users/<operator>/.claude/channels/discord/access.json

Current tree: 42 bridge-importing tests -- 9 clean, 7 mitigated, 26 violating. The 26 are
grandfathered in KNOWN_UNISOLATED and are being migrated onto a shared helper separately
(sonichi/sutando #2426, #2428 lineage); this gate exists so #27 cannot be added silently.

Two behaviours worth calling out, both found while testing this lint:

1. Isolation is detected as an ASSIGNMENT, never a substring. A first pass keyed on the
   presence of "CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR" wrongly exonerated three files that only name it in a
   comment -- including tests/bridge-audit-wiring.test.py, whose comment CLAIMED
   hermeticity while the test read live config. Comments lie; predicates should not read
   them. There is a regression proof for exactly this case.

2. Post-import mitigation is its own, non-fatal category. Seven tests rebind
   mod.ACCESS_FILE to a temp path after exec_module so their destructive write/unlink
   cannot touch the real file. The import still resolves host config, so they are not
   clean -- but hard-failing the authors who thought about it is how lints get switched
   off. They report as a NOTE.

A stale KNOWN_UNISOLATED entry is also a NOTE, not a failure. Hard-failing there is a
footgun: the moment a PR fixes a listed file, main goes red until someone edits this
script. #2428 fixes tests/bridge-audit-wiring.test.py, and a fatal stale-check would have
reddened main on its merge.

Evidence (proofs run in-tree, files git-added so git ls-files sees them):
  new violating test        -> exit 1, file named
  same test, comment only   -> exit 1 (comment correctly rejected)
  same test, real isolation -> exit 0
  clean tree                -> exit 0, "42 scanned, 26 grandfathered, 7 mitigated"

No production code touched; adds one script and one workflow.

* fix(lint): drop the ~/.claude literal from the failure message

The REVIEW.md hardcoded-paths scan (which runs as a step inside the "tsc + tests
(clean install)" job, so the red check name is misleading) flagged
scripts/lint-hermetic-bridge-tests.py:218 -- a real per-user path literal inside a
runtime message string. The docstring occurrence does not trip it; comment lines are
skipped, code strings are not.

Rephrased to "per-user channel allowlist", which says the same thing without the
literal. Verified locally the way CI does it -- `git diff origin/main...HEAD` piped to
`bash scripts/review-checks.sh --diff` -- rather than a bare run, which reports
"empty diff -- nothing to check" and silently proves nothing.

Caught by @Sutando-Mini on the PR.

* test(lint): cover the hermetic-bridge lint; exempt its own fixture file

The diff-coverage gate was red at 88.5% (missing 201, 211-214, 224-227) -- the lint
shipped with no tests, and those lines are main() failure branches that never fire on a
green tree. That was a real gap in the PR, not the known codex-core-launcher flake: the
gate measures every added executable Python line, and 227 of them arrived untested.

Adds tests/lint-hermetic-bridge-tests.test.py -- 30 assertions, run IN-PROCESS (import +
call, never a subprocess, or coverage.py traces a child interpreter and sees nothing).
Covers every classify() outcome, both mitigation patterns, all three main() modes, and
the two failure branches by temporarily swapping KNOWN_UNISOLATED (empty -> every
offender counts as new; bogus entry -> stale NOTE path). Local gate now reports
scripts/lint-hermetic-bridge-tests.py (100%), 0 missing.

Pins the regressions that were actually wrong in an earlier draft:
  - a COMMENT naming CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR must not count as isolation
  - post-import ACCESS_FILE / channels_env rebinding is MITIGATED, not a hard failure
  - a stale grandfather entry is a NOTE and must NOT fail the run

Also adds SELF_EXEMPT for the lint own test file. Writing the tests surfaced it: the
fixture strings contain both `exec_module` and a bridge path, so the lint classified its
own test as in-scope and counted it in the scanned total. Same self-exemption convention
as scripts/lint-claude-home-path.sh, which allows itself for quoting the pattern it
forbids. Scanned/grandfathered/mitigated counts are unchanged at 42/26/7.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): make the isolation check AST-based and order-aware

Addresses qingyun P1 on #2429. The regex predicate was bypassable two ways, both of his
repro cases:

  * an assignment-SHAPED comment -- `# os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = tempfile.mkdtemp()`
    matched ISOLATES, because a text scan cannot tell code from a comment
  * a REAL assignment placed AFTER exec_module() -- matched too, because the regex had no
    way to express ordering, and isolation that runs after the import is useless: the
    module-level resolution has already read host config

Either one let a live-config-reading test pass the gate, which defeats the point of the
gate. classify() now parses the file and compares line numbers: isolation counts only when
an executable assignment precedes the bridge import. Comments never enter the AST, so the
first bypass dies by construction; node.lineno kills the second. An unparseable file is now
a VIOLATION rather than a silent pass -- a file that cannot be analysed is not proven clean.

This was NOT theoretical. Switching to AST reclassified an existing test:
tests/bridge-env-token-perms.test.py sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR at line 179 but calls
exec_module at line 124, so it reads host config for 55 lines. The regex draft called it
clean. Grandfathered count therefore moves 26 -> 27, and mitigated 7 -> 8; the scanned
total is unchanged at 42.

Commits both adversarial regressions he asked for, plus ordering and unparseable cases:
  BYPASS 1 assignment-shaped comment      -> violation
  BYPASS 2 real assignment after import   -> violation
  same assignment BEFORE the import       -> clean
  unparseable file                        -> violation
  late HOME assignment                    -> violation

Drops the now-dead ISOLATES/ALT_ISOLATES/MITIGATES regexes rather than leaving them as
decoration. Local: 36 assertions pass, whole-tree scanner green, diff coverage 97%,
REVIEW path scan PASS.

* test(lint): pin the util_paths comment bypass shut (qingyun #2429 second finding)

His 20:04Z review landed on 0620c70, one commit before the AST rewrite (2272653), so the
finding was already closed by that rewrite -- ALT_ISOLATES no longer exists. Verified with
his exact repro rather than assuming:

  util_paths_comment        -> violation
  util_paths_comment_after  -> violation
  real_patch_before         -> clean

He asked for a committed regression for the case, which is fair independent of the fix, so
this adds three: the comment before the import, the same comment after it, and a REAL
patch() of channel_access_path before the import (which must still count as isolation, so
the predicate is not merely tightened into uselessness).

36 -> 39 assertions. Whole-tree scanner green, diff coverage above the bar, REVIEW path
scan PASS.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): narrow CLEAN to the one provable shape (qingyun #2429 reviews 5-6)

Every finding in those two reviews is a FALSE CLEAN, and the pattern matters more than the
individual holes: I was trying to prove a test hermetic, which static analysis cannot do
(env precedence, execution context, reachability). Inverted the default -- the classifier no
longer tries to prove isolation, it recognizes exactly the one documented fix and treats
everything else as unproven. Under-approximating CLEAN is safe; over-approximating it makes
the gate worthless.

CLEAN now requires a MODULE-LEVEL `os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = ...` before the import.
Each rejected shape and why:

  expired_patch_context   `with patch(...): pass` then import -- the patch has EXITED by
                          the time exec_module runs. This one was MY bug: I added it as a
                          positive fixture last commit, so the suite was asserting a
                          false-clean. Patch-based isolation is no longer accepted at all,
                          because line numbers cannot prove a patch is active at the import.
  unrelated_dict          `cfg["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = ...` -- a dict that is not the
                          environment. The receiver is now checked, not just the key.
  setdefault              a NO-OP when the developer already has the var set, which is
                          precisely the case this lint exists to catch.
  HOME / CLAUDE_HOME only lower precedence than an inherited CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
  dead_branch             module level is required, so a body that may never run cannot
                          count.
  never_called_mitigation MITIGATED likewise requires a module-level rebind.

Verified against his full adversarial set on this head -- all seven return violation, while
real module-level isolation stays clean and a real module-level rebind stays mitigated.

Counts move to 42 scanned / 35 grandfathered / 2 mitigated. The narrowing caught 8 further
real cases, including tests/slack-bridge-tier-map.test.py, which I had previously argued was
a deliberate mitigation -- its rebind is inside a function, so it is exactly the
never-executed shape he flagged. I was wrong to defend it.

39 assertions pass, whole-tree scanner green, diff coverage 97%, REVIEW path scan PASS.

* fix(lint): require os.environ exactly, and bind mitigation to the imported module

Addresses qingyun review 7 on #2429. Two remaining false-nonfatal verdicts, both his repros:

RECEIVER. _is_os_environ() accepted any attribute NAMED environ and any bare name
environ, so `fake.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = ...` and a shadowed `environ = {}`
both classified clean while the real inherited CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR stayed active. Now
requires literally `os.environ` (Attribute on Name "os"). Bare `environ` is no longer
accepted at all -- proving it is `from os import environ` AND unshadowed is more
analysis than this gate needs, and the explicit form costs a test author nothing.

MITIGATION. _mitigation_line() accepted ANY module-level .ACCESS_FILE / .channels_env
assignment, regardless of receiver or order. Since MITIGATED is non-fatal, that
silently downgraded real violations: an unrelated `cfg.ACCESS_FILE = ...` counted, and
so did a rebind placed BEFORE exec_module -- which proves nothing, because the import
then re-resolves against host config anyway. Now the assignment must target the module
object actually passed to exec_module() AND appear after that call, so exec_module
capture returns (lineno, module_var).

Adversarial set on this head:
  fake_attribute_environ             -> violation
  shadowed_bare_environ              -> violation
  unrelated_mitigation_after_import  -> violation
  mitigation_before_import           -> violation
  GOOD_real_isolation                -> clean
  GOOD_real_mitigation               -> mitigated

Committed regressions for all four bypasses plus the positive mitigation case, so the
permissive direction stays pinned and the predicate cannot be tightened into
uselessness unnoticed.

Counts: 42 scanned / 37 grandfathered / 0 mitigated. Mitigated fell 2 -> 0 because
every previously-mitigated file fails the receiver-or-order check -- i.e. none of them
was actually mitigating. Two further files reclassified:
tests/bridges-allowlist-default-readonly.test.py and
tests/slack-bridge-access-durable-backup.test.py.

44 assertions pass, whole-tree scanner green, diff coverage 96% (raised off the 95%
line by covering the remaining early-return paths), REVIEW path scan PASS.

* chore(lint): drop bridge-audit-wiring from KNOWN_UNISOLATED — #2428 merged

john-the-dev merged #2428 at 21:27:59Z, so tests/bridge-audit-wiring.test.py now isolates
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR on main and no longer belongs in the grandfather list. Rebased onto the
new main and regenerated: 37 entries, unchanged otherwise.

Worth recording that the non-fatal stale-entry design paid off immediately and in exactly
the predicted way. Before this commit the lint printed:

  NOTE - KNOWN_UNISOLATED entries no longer violating
    tests/bridge-audit-wiring.test.py

and still exited 0. Had that check been fatal -- as I first wrote it -- main would have
gone RED the moment #2428 landed, through no fault of the merger. The footgun was real,
not hypothetical.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): close the exec() scope hole and require a seeded access.json

Addresses qingyun review 8 and Rui (john-the-dev) concurring. Two defects, and the
second is the one that matters.

SCOPE. classify() gated on the literal token "exec_module", so a test that loads the
bridge with exec(read_text()) returned None -- out of scope, never checked. Out-of-scope
is a SILENT PASS, the worst verdict a gate can give. Rui
tests/discord-bridge-public-notice-suppression.test.py (#2431) is exactly that shape.
_bridge_load_call() now recognizes both mechanisms and reports the namespace variable
for either.

SEED. CLEAN accepted a bare CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR assignment. That is not isolation:
pointing the var at an EMPTY temp dir leaves channel_access_path() on its legacy
real-home fallback, so the operator real allowlist is still what gets read at import.
My own #2428 commit message says precisely this, and I then wrote a predicate that did
not require it. CLEAN now needs the env override AND a module-level write creating
channels/<ch>/access.json, both before the load.

The seed check matches a WRITE, never a mention: Rui file names access.json in its
module docstring, so a constant-substring check would have called it isolated. Same
shape as "a comment is not isolation", one level down.

Counts move to 60 scanned / 59 grandfathered / 0 mitigated. That jump is the standard
becoming correct, not the tree changing -- I spot-checked codex-subprocess-argv,
skill-path-resolution and collaborator-tier: each sets the env var and never seeds
access.json. The single CLEAN file is tests/bridge-audit-wiring.test.py, the one written
to this standard in #2428.

Two of my OWN assertions had to be corrected: they asserted a bare env assignment was
CLEAN, i.e. the suite was encoding the defect. Updated rather than worked around.

Also deletes _exec_module_call(), superseded by _bridge_load_call() -- dead code, not
untested code; removing it took diff coverage 90% -> 98%.

Local: 44 assertions pass, whole-tree scanner green, REVIEW path scan PASS.
Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): count an access.json seed built through a variable

The seed check recognized "access.json" only inside the write call's own
receiver expression, so the equivalent two-line form read as no-seed:

    p = chan / "access.json"
    p.write_text("{}")          # was: violation

Binding a path to a name is not a behavioral difference. A false VIOLATION is
the sound direction (under-approximating SAFE never hides a real read), so
nothing was unsafe — but it would have flagged correctly-seeded files and
inflated the migration denominator.

_access_path_names() propagates the taint to a fixpoint across module-level
assignments, so a name built from another tainted name counts too
(ACCESS = "access.json" -> p = dir / ACCESS -> p.write_text).

Module level only, deliberately: a name bound inside a function or an if-body
has not necessarily been bound when the bridge loads, and unbound-at-load is
the reachability case this gate must refuse to guess about.

Population is unchanged — 60 scanned / 59 grandfathered / 1 clean. This closes
a latent hole; no real file's verdict moves.

Four regressions: intermediate variable, two-hop taint, function-scoped seed
stays a violation, and a written variable that never carries access.json stays
a violation (taint tracks the path, not any write).

* fix(lint): recognize a seed written through a helper, not just a method

PR #2356 introduces write_private_text(path, data) as the canonical way access
files are written (born 0600 rather than narrowed afterwards). It takes the path
as an ARGUMENT, while the seed check only recognized method-style writes where
the path is the RECEIVER:

    (chan / "access.json").write_text(...)      # recognized
    write_private_text(chan / "access.json", …) # was: no seed -> violation

So the moment #2356 lands, correctly-seeded tests would start failing this gate
and it would look like #2356 broke them. Found by reviewing #2356, not by being
bitten by it.

Accepts the helper called bare or through a module attribute, and reuses the
same taint set, so a path built into a variable first still counts. A helper
write of a NON-access path (.env) stays a violation — that is precisely the
shape john flagged as not-isolation on review 8 — and an unrelated call merely
naming access.json is still not a seed: only a recognized WRITE counts.

Population unchanged: 60 scanned / 59 grandfathered / 1 clean.

Tenth finding of the same class — recognizing one syntactic form and treating
everything else as absent rather than unproven. Receiver, ordering, loader,
seed, variable, now call shape.

* fix(lint): a seed must target the CONFIGURED channels/<ch>/access.json

Review 10 (qingyun): the predicate proved only that some path expression
contained "access.json" — never that the write targeted
$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/channels/<ch>/access.json. So an unrelated write under
/tmp/x classified CLEAN while the canonical file stayed absent and the bridge
kept falling back to the operator real-home allowlist. Both the method and the
helper shape inherited it.

Inverts what the taint is seeded FROM. It was seeded by the string
"access.json" (anything carrying it counted); it is now seeded by the
CONFIGURED root — os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] or the name assigned into
it — and propagated to a fixpoint over module-level assignments, accumulating
literal path segments. A seed now requires all three: a WRITE, a path ROOTED
at the configured dir, and both a channels and an access.json segment.

A name bound to a plain string contributes SEGMENTS but never ROOTEDNESS, so
factoring a segment out (ACCESS = "access.json") still works while it cannot
rescue an unrooted write.

Evidence:
- qingyun exact false-cleans now flag: unrelated_method_seed and
  unrelated_helper_seed both VIOLATION (were CLEAN)
- canonical shapes stay CLEAN: inline method, helper, and root-via-the-name-
  assigned-into-os.environ
- 5 regressions added, incl. rooted-but-no-channels-segment
- whole-tree scan UNCHANGED before/after: 60 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0
  (4 real tests lose credited-seed status but were already grandfathered)

The submitted fixtures encoded the defect: several seeded a relative or /tmp
path. Rerooted at the configured dir, which is what a hermetic test does.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): the seed must match the BRIDGE being imported, not just any channel

Review 11 (qingyun): the seed check proved a rooted channels/<x>/access.json
write but never that <x> matched the bridge under import. channel_access_path()
resolves PER CHANNEL, so seeding channels/discord/access.json does nothing for a
test that loads telegram-bridge.py — the canonical telegram file is still absent
and the import falls back to the operator real Telegram allowlist.

Her repro, verified at this head before the fix: seed discord + import telegram
classified clean.

Worse, my own positive fixture had locked the shape in: it seeded `slack` while
IMPORTS_BRIDGE loads the DISCORD bridge, so the suite asserted the false clean as
correct behaviour. Corrected to seed discord.

_imported_bridge_channels() reads the channels the file actually loads from the
existing BRIDGE_IMPORT pattern; _access_seed_line() now records seeds per channel
and requires EVERY imported channel to be seeded, returning the LATEST such line
so the caller before-the-load ordering check still covers all of them.

6 regressions, mutation-checked. Dropping the channel requirement kills exactly
the 4 discriminating ones and leaves the 2 matched-channel positives green:

  seed discord + import telegram  -> violation
  seed telegram + import slack    -> violation
  seed slack    + import discord  -> violation  (helper-write shape)
  two bridges imported, one seed  -> violation
  seed telegram + import telegram -> clean
  seed slack    + import slack    -> clean

* fix(lint): a helper seed must be the PATH argument, not any argument

Review 12 (qingyun): the helper-call analysis scanned every argument, so a
canonical access path passed as the DATA argument satisfied the seed check
while the write landed elsewhere. Her exact-head repro returned clean without
ever creating $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/channels/discord/access.json.

Argument ROLE matters: write_private_text(path, data) writes to arg 0.
Restricted to arg 0, plus the `path=` keyword form so the change does not
break the keyword call shape.

3 regressions, mutation-checked. Reverting to scan-all-arguments kills the
DATA-argument case AND the keyword case, so both are discriminating:

  path in DATA arg, write elsewhere -> violation  (was clean)
  path in arg 0                     -> clean
  path= keyword form                -> clean

Focused suite passes; whole-tree scan unchanged at 61 scanned, 59
grandfathered, exit 0.

This is the third false-CLEAN on this predicate in a row, and all three had
the same shape: I checked a PROXY for the write (a string appears / a path is
rooted / a path appears in the call) instead of the write TARGET. The
argument-role check is the first one that asks where the bytes actually go.

* fix(lint): isolation means a TEMP dir, not merely an assignment

Found by self-audit, not review. After three rounds where the defect was the
same shape - checking a PROXY for the write instead of the target - I went
looking for a fourth of that shape rather than waiting. There was one, and it
is the worst so far.

_isolation_line proved that `os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = ...` HAPPENED.
It never proved the value pointed anywhere safe. So:

    os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = os.path.expanduser("~/.claude")
    (cfg / "channels" / "discord" / "access.json").write_text(...)

classified CLEAN while writing into the OPERATOR REAL allowlist. That is
strictly worse than the fallback-READ this gate exists to prevent, because it
MUTATES host config - and the gate was actively certifying it as hermetic.

Isolation now requires the value to derive provably from a temporary source
(mkdtemp / TemporaryDirectory / mkstemp), propagated to a fixpoint so the
ordinary two-step `_d = mkdtemp(); os.environ[...] = _d` shape still passes.
Anything unprovable is refused, including a bare literal - under-approximating
CLEAN is this file documented stance.

5 regressions; mutation kills 3. Whole-tree scan UNCHANGED before and after
(61 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0) and ZERO real tests change verdict, so
the tightening costs nothing: every real test already uses tempfile.

One submitted fixture asserted CLEAN with a literal "/tmp/x" and is corrected
to mkdtemp. That is the third time on this PR my own fixtures encoded the very
defect under review, which is the more useful finding: when the predicate and
its tests are written from the same mental model, the tests cannot catch it.

* fix(lint): a seed must be REACHABLE on import, not merely present

Review 13 (qingyun): ast.walk() flattens the tree, so a canonical access write
inside a never-called function was recorded as a seed. The file is never
created before the bridge loads, so the import still falls back to the
operator real allowlist - the exact failure this gate exists to catch, waved
through by the gate itself.

Her repro classified clean on the previous head; it is a violation now.

_reachable_nodes() replaces ast.walk() for the seed scan: it does NOT descend
into FunctionDef / AsyncFunctionDef / ClassDef / Lambda bodies, which only run
when CALLED. Conditionals (if / try / with) ARE still descended into - they
execute in module order, and refusing them would reject the ordinary
`with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:` seeding shape.

5 regressions; mutation (revert to ast.walk) kills 2. Both directions pinned:

  seed inside `def never_called()` -> violation
  seed inside a class body         -> violation
  module-level inline seed         -> clean
  seed inside a `with` block       -> clean
  seed inside try/except           -> clean

Whole-tree scan unchanged before and after: 61 scanned, 59 grandfathered,
exit 0 - no real test is newly flagged by the stricter reachability rule.

Fifth false-CLEAN on this predicate. The shape has not changed: I keep
accepting evidence that the write was WRITTEN rather than evidence it RUNS.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): only bodies that run UNCONDITIONALLY on import can hold a seed

Review 14 (qingyun): skipping def/class bodies was not enough. _reachable_nodes()
descended into every child of top-level `if` and `try`, so a canonical seed under
`if False:` or inside an `except` handler that never fires was recorded as if it
had executed before the bridge import.

Descend only into what an import actually runs: a `with` body, a `try` BODY, and
its `finally`. Refuse both `if` branches (none is guaranteed), `except` handlers
(exception-only), `else` clauses (exit-dependent), and `for`/`while` bodies (zero
iterations is legal).

  if False: seed            -> violation   (her repro)
  except-only seed          -> violation   (her repro)
  for-body seed             -> violation
  module-level seed         -> clean
  with-block seed           -> clean
  try-BODY seed             -> clean

4 regressions; mutation (descend into everything again) kills 3.

COST, stated rather than hidden: a legitimate
`if not (cfg / "access.json").exists(): seed()` now reads as a violation. That is
a real false positive of the same class #2357 exposed - the gate refusing a
correct shape. It is recorded in the open design question rather than quietly
accepted. Measured impact on this tree: ZERO real tests change verdict, and the
whole-tree scan is unchanged at 61 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0.

Coverage 98%.

Seventh false-CLEAN on this predicate, and the shape has never changed: I keep
accepting evidence that a write EXISTS rather than evidence that it RUNS.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): a try body runs only up to its first definite terminator

Review 15 (qingyun, round 8): _reachable_nodes() treated every statement in a
`try` body as guaranteed. A seed placed AFTER an unconditional `raise` never
executes - but the handler swallows the exception and the module import
continues, so the lint reported clean on a test that seeded nothing and the
bridge could still fall back to the operator real allowlist.

_until_terminator() stops at the first raise/return/continue/break. Applied to
both the try body and its finally.

  seed AFTER an unconditional raise -> violation   (her repro)
  seed BEFORE the raise             -> clean       (terminator must not
                                                    retroactively invalidate
                                                    what precedes it)
  plain try-body seed               -> clean

2 regressions; mutation (traverse the whole body again) kills 1. Tree scan
unchanged at 61 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0. Coverage 98%.

Eighth round. The shape has not moved once: I keep accepting evidence that a
write is PRESENT rather than evidence that it RUNS - first anywhere in the
file, then outside def/class, then outside conditionals, and now before the
statement that ends the block.

* fix(tests): seed discord too — bridge-timeout-guards loads BOTH bridges

CI caught this the moment #1886 merged into main: the stricter hermetic lint
flagged tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py, which is not on the grandfather
list because it entered main AFTER that list was written.

The gate is right. That file exec-loads DISCORD_SRC and TELEGRAM_SRC but seeded
only channels/telegram/access.json. channel_access_path() resolves PER CHANNEL,
so the canonical discord file was never created and the discord import could
still fall back to the operator real allowlist - the exact per-channel gap
qingyun found in review 11 of this PR, now caught in the wild on a file I wrote.

Seeds channels/discord/access.json alongside telegram.

  before: lint FAIL - tests/bridge-timeout-guards.test.py
  after : lint ok (63 scanned, 59 grandfathered, exit 0)

The test itself still passes, and the lint suite is unchanged.

Deliberately NOT grandfathered. Adding a brand-new violation to KNOWN_UNISOLATED
is how that list rots - it is supposed to shrink. The file is three hours old and
the fix is three lines.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* fix(lint): a seed must prove the parent dir exists, not just name the path

qingyun (#2429 review 14) found the predicate accepting a write whose parents
never existed: `mkdtemp()` hands back an EMPTY dir, so `channels/<ch>/` is absent
and `(ccd/"channels"/"discord"/"access.json").write_text(...)` raises
FileNotFoundError having created nothing. Swallow that and the bridge still
imports — `channel_access_path()` still resolving the operator's real allowlist
while the lint reported clean.

Same shape as rounds 10-13: the predicate checked something CORRELATED with the
file existing (a write call naming it) instead of the file existing. So rather
than patch her repro, I probed the shape. Seven more members, all CLEAN before
this commit, all committed as regressions:

  swallowed missing-parent write   <- hers
  bare write, no mkdir anywhere    <- simpler than hers, equally broken
  mkdir without parents=True       <- `channels/` is absent too
  mkdir AFTER the write
  mkdir for a DIFFERENT channel
  mkdir under `if False:`
  mkdir inside a never-called def
  write swallowed by `except Exception`

A seed now requires a REACHABLE recursive directory creation for that channel,
strictly before the write: `.mkdir(parents=True, ...)` or `os.makedirs(...)`,
resolved through the same rootedness analysis as the write and the same
`_reachable_nodes` walk, so an mkdir the import never executes cannot vouch for
one it does.

Evidence:
  * per-file verdicts across all 63 in-scope tests are BYTE-IDENTICAL before and
    after (59 violation / 4 clean) — zero false positives on real tests;
  * removing the mkdir from each of the 4 clean tests flips it to violation, so
    the new condition is load-bearing rather than dead;
  * the 8 regressions FAIL on the parent commit and pass here; the 3
    positive-control idioms this repo actually uses (`_cfg.mkdir`,
    `p.parent.mkdir`, `os.makedirs`) stay clean in both directions.

The test file's own fixtures had encoded the bug a fourth time: two mkdir'd a
RELATIVE `channels/discord` (creating it in CWD, not under the configured dir)
and ten omitted the mkdir entirely. Fixed rather than exempted — a fixture that
cannot succeed at runtime is not a positive control.

`write_private_text` is held to the same precondition. #2356 has not landed, so
its parent-creating semantics cannot be verified against real source here, and
an unverifiable exemption is the exact assumption this predicate keeps getting
caught making.

* test(lint-hermetic): pin the known false positives, and name a third one

Resolves the open design question on this PR the way I said I was leaning — ship
the gate and assert the limitation — but as TESTS rather than only prose, so the
known-bad shapes are a checked contract instead of a docstring claim that can
drift.

Three shapes are hermetic and SHOULD classify clean. They do not:

  1. isolation and load inside ONE function body
  2. a seed guarded by `if not (…/access.json).exists():`
  3. the temp dir routed through a variable rather than assigned inline

(1) and (2) are the structural asymmetry already described in `_reachable_nodes`:
isolation is only counted where it provably runs on import, while the load side
uses `ast.walk` and sees a load anywhere. Neither symmetric repair is acceptable —
moving the load side to `_reachable_nodes` stops seeing loads inside test functions
(the common shape), and moving isolation to `ast.walk` re-admits the `if False:`
seed that round 7 closed. Both trade a false positive for a false CLEAN, which is
the wrong direction for this gate. The real fix is per-scope ordering, which is a
new analysis and does not belong in this PR's last round.

(3) was NOT previously documented, and I found it only because I wrote a control.
The first draft of the guard pin also routed the temp dir through a variable, so its
violation could have come from either cause. The 2x2 disambiguates:

    direct   + unconditional -> clean
    direct   + if-guarded    -> violation
    indirect + unconditional -> violation
    indirect + if-guarded    -> violation

So the guard and the indirection are independent limitations, and (3) is not
scope-related at all — the scope-aware fix will NOT remove it. It needs the
isolation predicate to follow a local binding.

Each pin carries a control that varies exactly one thing, because a bare
`== VIOLATION` assertion would also hold if classify() started returning violation
for everything — the pin would pass while measuring nothing. Each also states its
removal trigger: when a pin starts returning CLEAN that is the fix landing, so
delete the pin rather than "repair" it.

Pinning is not endorsement. The gate's documented stance is to under-approximate
CLEAN, so a false positive costs a grandfather entry while a false CLEAN costs a
silently mutated host config.

Checks: full lint suite PASS (incl. 3 pins + 2 controls) · lint self-check over the
repo ok (63 scanned, 59 grandfathered, 0 mitigated) · py_compile · git diff --check ·
review-checks PASS.

* chore(lint): recognise the property, not the name — two false-CLEAN paths

qingyun-wu's two exact-head findings on 1e7794e were both the same shape: a
check that matched a NAME instead of the property that name stands for. Neither
fixture ever created or wrote the canonical access file, and both classified
`clean` — so a test could read or mutate the developer's real channel allowlist
while the gate reported it isolated.

1. `makedirs` recognition accepted ANY call whose attribute was `makedirs`, so a
   no-op `Fake().makedirs(parent)` vouched for a parent that was never created;
   the canonical write then raised and was swallowed. Now the receiver must be a
   name that genuinely imports the `os` module in that file, or a bare name
   genuinely imported via `from os import makedirs` — both collected from the
   AST's own imports, so aliases (`import os as _os`, `from os import makedirs
   as md`) keep working and a locally-defined `def makedirs()` does not.

   `.mkdir(parents=True)` deliberately needs no such guard: it returns the
   RECEIVER as the created path, so a fake receiver fails path resolution by
   itself. `makedirs` takes the path as an ARGUMENT — the path checks all pass
   and only the receiver is a lie, which is exactly why it needed one.

2. Path identity used substring membership, so a rooted
   `notchannels/discord/access.json.bak` matched on both `"channels" in seg` and
   `"access.json" in seg`. Now components are split and compared by EXACT
   identity, which rejects both the `notchannels` lookalike and the `.bak`
   sibling.

   Ordering is NOT enforced, stated plainly rather than implied: segments arrive
   as an unordered SET because a path assembled across assignments loses
   sequence in `_expr_root_segments`. Exact identity is what rejects both
   reported false-CLEANs — neither needs order — and making the resolver
   order-preserving is a wider change than this fix. The residual gap is a path
   holding all three components in a nonsensical order, strictly smaller than
   the substring gap it replaces.

Six regressions: the two reported fixtures, a bare-makedirs-never-imported
variant, and three anti-vacuity controls (genuine seed, `import os as _os`,
`from os import makedirs`) so the pins cannot pass by classify() simply ceasing
to return CLEAN.

Mutation-verified: against 1e7794e's lint script exactly three of these fail
and the controls still pass; with the fix the full suite and the bridge-timeout
suite are green.

Stand: Echo Act IV Pro

* chore(lint): order-preserving path resolution + reject a rebound os alias

Both remaining P1s, and both are the same shape a third time: the check accepted
a weaker property than the one it needs.

1. john-the-dev — the unordered component SET accepted any permutation, so a
   rooted `access.json/channels/discord` classified clean while the canonical
   allowlist was never created. I had retained this as a documented limitation;
   it is a security boundary, so it is fixed rather than noted.

   `_expr_root_segments()` now walks the `/` spine structurally instead of via
   `ast.walk` (breadth-first, order-destroying), and `_rooted_segments()` /
   `_literal_segment_names()` carry ordered lists. `_path_channel()` then
   requires the contiguous canonical run `channels/<bridge>/access.json`.

   `.parent` had to be modelled explicitly as "drop the last component" — an
   order-blind set never needed that, but without it this repo's own
   `p = …/access.json; p.parent.mkdir(parents=True)` idiom stops resolving to the
   channel directory. The suite caught it immediately.

2. qingyun-wu — an imported name was trusted at the call site even after being
   rebound: `import os` … `os = Fake()` … `os.makedirs(p)` created nothing and
   still classified clean. Any name rebound anywhere (assign, aug/ann-assign,
   for-target, with-as, def/class) is now dropped from the alias sets.

   Only a bare Name target counts as a rebinding. Walking into targets marked
   `os` shadowed from `os.environ[k] = v`, which turned every correctly-isolated
   test into a violation — setting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is the first thing they all
   do. Caught by the controls, not by inspection.

Five regressions: both reported fixtures plus three anti-vacuity controls
(multi-assignment canonical seed, the `.parent` idiom, and `os.environ[...] = ...`
not counting as a rebinding), because ordering and shadow-detection are both easy
to overshoot into "nothing is ever clean".

Mutation-verified: exactly the two new pins fail against daacb14 and the three
controls pass on both heads. Full hermetic-lint suite and bridge-timeout suite
green here.

* chore(lint): last write wins — a same-length rebinding is not a no-op

qingyun-wu, #2429: `_rooted_segments()` replaced a binding only when the new
segment list was strictly LONGER, so rebinding a path variable to a same-length
non-canonical path was silently ignored:

    _cfg = <ccd>/"channels"/"discord" ; _cfg.mkdir(parents=True)
    _cfg = <ccd>/"channels"/"slack"   ; (_cfg/"access.json").write_text("{}")
    <import src/discord-bridge.py>

kept `_cfg -> channels/discord` and classified CLEAN, while at runtime only the
SLACK allowlist exists and the Discord canonical file is absent — so the import
can still fall back to the operator's real allowlist.

Straight-line resolution is now last-write-wins in source order, and a rebinding
to something NOT rooted at the configured dir DROPS the binding rather than
leaving a stale one vouching for the name.

Convergence is detected by comparing the whole map across a pass instead of a
per-assignment `grew` flag. That flag cannot survive last-write-wins — a name
assigned twice would flip on every pass and loop forever. Snapshot-compare stops
as soon as a pass is a no-op; a 64-iteration cap is a backstop.

Three regressions: the reported fixture, plus two controls so order-sensitivity
cuts both ways rather than becoming a stricter gate — a single-binding discord
seed stays CLEAN, and a slack->discord rebind that seeds discord LAST stays
CLEAN.

Mutation-verified against 61a05a1; full hermetic-lint and bridge-timeout suites
green here.

* fix(lint): honor rebinding in every name tracker, and select targets structurally

Round 19. The reviewers found the literal-segment case; probing the AXIS instead
of the reported case found two more members of the same family, plus a
false-positive source in target selection.

ONE DEFECT, THREE TRACKERS — a module-level name kept a tracked property after
being rebound to a value that no longer had it. Each yields a false CLEAN, i.e.
the canonical channels/discord/access.json is absent at import and the bridge
falls back to the operator real allowlist:

1. _literal_segment_names (reported by john-the-dev + qingyun-wu). A rebind that
   yielded no literal hit `continue`, leaving the stale segments:
       OTHER = "slack"; CHANNEL = "discord"; CHANNEL = OTHER
   kept CHANNEL -> discord. Now a bare-Name rebind resolves through the alias and
   anything else DROPS the binding, failing closed. Only a bare Name is resolved:
   resolving names nested in arbitrary expressions would ADD segments, and more
   segments means more paths match a seed — that widens CLEAN, the unsafe way.

2. _ccd_root_names (found here). The root name kept its status forever, so
       os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = _ccd ; _ccd = "/tmp/elsewhere"
       (Path(_ccd)/"channels"/"discord"/"access.json").write_text(...)
   still recorded _ccd as the configured root — the same false CLEAN reached
   through the ROOT rather than the SEGMENT.

3. _isolation_line (found here; the most severe, since it defeats isolation
   outright rather than mis-attributing one path). A monotone set said
       d = mkdtemp(); d = "/Users/<me>/.claude"
       os.environ["CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"] = d
   was "provably isolated" while it points the env var at the operator real
   config dir. Fixed by asking the question where it is asked — POINT-IN-TIME.
   A final-state set was my first attempt and is wrong the OTHER way: it calls
       _ccd = mkdtemp(); os.environ[...] = _ccd; _ccd = "/tmp/elsewhere"
   unisolated, though the env var really was set to a temp dir and a later
   rebinding does not un-set it. That false positive is pinned by a control.
   _isolated_names keeps its original monotone meaning for its other caller.

TARGET SELECTION WAS TEXTUAL. `BRIDGE_IMPORT.search(text)` regexed the raw file,
so a file that merely NAMED a bridge in prose had to be hermetic. It fired on a
real merged test: tests/discord-read-forwarded.test.py (#2458) mentions
discord-bridge.py in its module docstring while importing only src/discord-read.py,
which resolves no channel config at import. _code_strings() now selects on strings
the module actually evaluates. The raw regex stays as a cheap pre-filter so an
unparseable file that never mentions a bridge still exits before the conservative
VIOLATION, which is meant for files we had reason to scan.

KNOWN_UNISOLATED is net-flat: dropped dm-result-multipart-upload.test.py (stale —
prose-only mention) and added discord-access-backup.test.py, a real hole that
landed in #2358 after the baseline was measured. Grandfathered rather than fixed
because repairing another PR test is a second concern.

10 regressions incl. the reverse-order and unrelated-assignment controls qingyun
asked for. Mutation-verified: reverting each of the four behaviours fails 2/1/1/4
checks respectively — no fix is unpinned, which is how the false positive in my
first isolation attempt surfaced.

* refactor(lint): drop _isolated_names, orphaned by the point-in-time isolation fix

The diff-coverage gate failed at 94.8% and pointed straight at it: lines 229-241
were the whole function body, uncovered because it has ZERO callers. Making
_isolation_line() evaluate isolation point-in-time meant it no longer asks for a
precomputed set, and nothing else ever did.

Dead code should be deleted, not tested. Covering it would have bought the gate a
green tick and left a fixpoint helper in the tree that no longer describes how the
lint decides anything — and the next reader would reasonably assume it does.

Local gate after removal: 97.9% on the changed lines (was 94.8%, threshold 95%).
Whole-tree lint rc=0, invariant suite PASS. _is_isolated_value is untouched and
still used by _isolation_line.
