SonarCloud has two findings open on main against tools/redact_trial.py: S2083 (path injection) and S8707. The tool opened the two paths it was given. As #273 did for its drift comparer, it now opens no path at all:

  • Standard input carries the raw capture in.
  • Standard output carries what is left out, written as UTF-8 whatever the locale.
  • Standard error names each removal, by where it was and never what it held.
  • Any argument is refused before anything is read.

It still runs as python3 -m tools.redact_trial from the repo, since it reads tools/check_trials.py's rules. So it cannot run as python3 -I, which would drop the repo from its path.

Callers

Every call moves from redact_trial RAW OUT > REPORT to redact_trial < RAW > OUT 2> REPORT:

  • the trial scripts of P-4, P-8, P-13 and P-39;
  • the App's script, tools/trial_as_app.sh, which sends the report through its pipe: < "$1" 2>&1 > clean | sed;
  • tools/rulesets_drift.sh;
  • the skill's step 4, and P-13's runbook.

The three calls that discard the report say so and stop when the redaction fails.

P-26's script, on its own branch, makes the same change when it next merges main.

Behaviour kept

  • Line ends. CR LF and a lone CR are read as a line's end, as the old read from a file did. gh api --include ends its head's lines with CR LF. Read as bytes without this, a head would be redacted as body. This was the review's blocker.
  • Encoding. Bytes that are not UTF-8 stop it, with nothing written, as before.

Tests and mutants

  • Redaction.test_it_opens_no_path_it_is_given covers:
    • each argument refused before a byte is read;
    • a run through pipes, as the scripts run it;
    • a CR LF head;
    • bytes that are not UTF-8;
    • an ASCII locale;
    • the App script's redirection order.
  • The rulesets drift stand-in now answers with CR LF heads, as gh does.
  • Three new mutants are killed: the tool reading a path it is given, keeping CR LF, and writing in the locale's encoding. The two older mutants of the redaction still are.

Verification and review

  • make verify passed in the worktree, with history, at SIM_SEEDS=40: 889 tests. The scripts' stand-in tests run the real redaction through the new calls.
  • A fresh Claude review with a security pass on 7e21663 found one blocker (CR LF), two majors (the locale's encoding, failures made silent) and five minors. All are fixed in the fix round, except two minors:
    • an empty clean file can be left when the tool fails, which holds nothing;
    • the flush is untested.
  • Muse: not run (the Maintainer, 2026-10-20: Kernel/hook only).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Redaction now processes trial captures through standard input and output, simplifying integration with command-line workflows.
    • Cleaned captures continue to remove credentials, sensitive headers, and credential-like content.
    • Redaction diagnostics are reported separately from cleaned output.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Line-ending handling is now consistent across input formats.
    • Output is always encoded as UTF-8.
    • Redaction failures now produce clear errors and stop affected trial workflows safely.

…on stdout, opening no path

SonarCloud's S2083 and S8707 on main: the tool opened the two paths it was given. As #273 did for
its drift comparer, it now takes the capture on standard input, writes what is left on standard
output and names each removal on standard error, and refuses any argument before it reads
anything. It still runs as python3 -m tools.redact_trial from the repo, since it reads
tools/check_trials.py's rules. Every caller pipes in and out: the trial scripts of P-4, P-8, P-13
and P-39, the App's script, the rulesets drift script, the skill and P-13's runbook. A test that it
opens no path, run as the scripts run it, and a mutant that lets it read a path; the scripts' own
stand-in tests pass through the new calls.

…ever the locale, and no failure silent

A fresh review with a security pass found one blocker and two majors.
- Read from a file as text, gh's CR LF heads became LF; read as bytes they stayed, and a capture
  with no blank line between head and body was redacted as one body: a field named for a
  credential and a header a fixture may not keep passed through. CR LF and a lone CR are read as
  a line's end, as the file read did; a test feeds a CR LF head, the rulesets drift stand-in
  answers with CR LF heads as gh does, and a mutant that keeps them is killed.
- The clean text is written as UTF-8 to the byte stream, as the file was, whatever the locale; a
  test runs it under an ASCII locale, and a mutant is killed.
- The three calls that send the report to /dev/null now say so and stop when the redaction fails.
And bytes that are not UTF-8 stop it with nothing written; the App's script's redirection order is
held by a test; the skill's step is rewrapped.

📝 Walkthrough

The redactor now reads captures from standard input and writes cleaned output to standard output. Trial scripts and instructions use this interface. The redactor rejects command-line arguments, normalizes line endings, writes UTF-8 output, and sends reports to standard error.

Changes: Redaction Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redactor stream contract and behavior
tools/redact_trial.py, tests/test_tools.py, tools/mutants.py
The redactor uses standard input and output, rejects arguments, normalizes line endings, writes UTF-8 output, and sends reports to standard error. Tests cover argument refusal, pipe execution, CRLF input, invalid UTF-8, locale-independent output, and stream redirection.

Trial scripts and instructions pass capture data through standard input and write cleaned data from standard output. Some script paths now report redaction failures and exit with status 1.

…artial clean file, and says so

CodeRabbit on #276: with the cleanup path's set +e, a failed redaction went on to delete the raw
capture silently. Keeping the raw capture, as it suggested, would leave it in OUT, the directory a
session reads; so it is still deleted unread, its partial clean file goes with it, the failure is
said on standard error and returned, and the cleanup counts it in the script's exit. A test runs
redact() alone on a capture that redacts and one that does not, and a mutant is killed.

… stdin, and the fake keeps its own rule

Main now holds decisions 0043 and 0044, so this branch's record is 0045
and its references say so. Main's #276 made tools/redact_trial.py read
stdin and write stdout, so tools/trial_reader_reads.sh feeds it that
way; with paths it would have stopped at the first redaction. Main's
#272 put the ruling's write-access set in the port
(adapters/timeline.py): the issue world keeps its own copy and never
imports the port, and a test holds both to the ruling's three words.
Decision 0045's port row names the port's test. In the design, the P-46
row is main's and P-47 is this branch's; both test classes are kept.
