Research direction

Start by tracing the classifier gate and the ungated write path, then review the user-level ~/.omp/agent/AGENTS.md and repository AGENTS.md trust boundaries. The /classifier trust-policy flow should pin user-file hashes, exclude repo-local authorization, and require gate-measured facts for conditional rules; done means policies cannot authorize destinations or delete targets.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement ready-for-agent

Standing approvals in instruction files ("keep merging when green", deploy rules per repo) authorized 29 of the 119 intent false positives in the week the plan (#70) measured, and the gate never reads them.

Reading them naively is a forgery channel: the agent can edit ~/.omp/agent/AGENTS.md or a repo AGENTS.md with the ungated write tool, and session N+1 would snapshot the edit as user policy. Conditional rules ("merge when CI is green") also can not be checked by the judge.

Sketch:

  • /classifier trust-policy pins a hash of the user-level files; only a pinned hash is read.
  • Repo-local instruction files never authorize.
  • Policy can authorize an action class, never an egress destination or a delete target.
  • A conditional rule authorizes only when a gate-measured fact confirms the condition.
