 2. **A modern Linux box** (Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ / Fedora 39+ / Arch). Acceptable for the full stack as long as you can install Microsandbox (Linux-only) and run the SIFT toolchain (`apt install sleuthkit volatility ...`). Faster I/O than the VM. Take a `pre-verdict` snapshot of your home before installing forensic tools — they leave state.
 3. **macOS host with the SIFT VM as a runtime target** (faster edit loop, smaller surface). Use VS Code Remote-SSH or `Develop on a Container` into the VM. Acceptable for schema, planner, MCP gateway, and unit-test work that doesn't shell out to forensic tools or Microsandbox. The moment your task touches a Microsandbox path or a forensic CLI, switch into the VM.
 
 **Windows host is not supported** for development. Either use WSL2 + Ubuntu (treat as configuration #2) or run the SIFT VM under Hyper-V / VMware / VirtualBox (configuration #1). Native Windows breaks Microsandbox (libkrun is Linux-only), pre-commit hooks (path/exec semantics), and several SIFT tools.

 - Mode-aware verifier strategy (cloud-only/airgap/dual auto-detected, mode-locked at case_init)
-- Plan-then-Execute LangGraph with 9 nodes including planner_critique_node (CoVe), comprehension_gate, pivot_node, replan_node, unverifiable_finalize_node
+- Plan-then-Execute LangGraph with 8 registered nodes (planner, planner_critique, comprehension_gate, executor_fanout, pivot, quorum, replan, finalize); `unverifiable_finalize_node` is a helper called from `replan_node`, not a registered graph node
 - Self-correction via cross-engine quorum CONTESTED → replan loop
 - Bounded recovery: pivot_max=15 (cheap), replan_max=3 (expensive), then explicit UNVERIFIABLE + interrupt()
 - Tool-call argument hallucination caught by Pydantic-AI args_validator before sandbox spawn (W2.E.1)

Subject: [PATCH 015/136] docs(readme): replace stale VERIFIED with canonical
 VerdictStatus terms [W1.A.0]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

VerdictStatus enum (src/verdict/schemas/verdict_status.py) has no VERIFIED
member. README used it in two places:
- Gateway diagram: VERIFIED → VETTED_* to cover all three vetting modes.
- Air-gap demo beat: VERIFIED → VETTED_AIRGAP (the correct air-gap outcome).

CLAUDE.md §3.2 cited a validator name that does not exist in
src/verdict/schemas/finding.py. The actual implementation consolidates
all forensic-corroboration checks (execution-class two-class rule,
per-artifact caveat triggers, EVTX_4624 logon-type caveat) into a
single _forensic_corroboration model_validator.

Also adds run-tool, run-case, and package-check to the CLAUDE.md §10.2
CLI surface — these commands exist in src/verdict/cli/__main__.py but
were absent from the §10.2 reference table.

 with single _forensic_corroboration snippet [W1.A.0]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The §4 code snippet showed _execution_claims_need_two_classes and
_amcache_caveat_required as two separate model_validators. The actual
implementation in src/verdict/schemas/finding.py uses a single
_forensic_corroboration validator that handles all three invariants:
  1. Execution-class technique requires ≥2 distinct artifact classes
  2. Each AVAILABLE_CAVEAT_TRIGGERS entry requires its CaveatID
  3. EVTX_4624 logon-type 3/10 requires LOGON_TYPE_3_VS_10

Also adds AVAILABLE_CAVEAT_TRIGGERS mapping and evtx_4624_logon_types
field to match the real Finding schema.

 ### Pivot state-merge contract
 
-When `pivot_node` adds a hypothesis it appends one entry to `InvestigationPlan.hypotheses` and re-enters `executor_fanout`. The fanout runs the 4 branches against the **single new hypothesis only** (not the full hypothesis list — re-running prior hypotheses would inflate the ledger and double-count for quorum). The fanout reducer **appends** the new findings to `case.findings` with no deduplication; downstream `quorum_node` does the per-hypothesis grouping. State invariant after N pivots: `len(case.findings) ≈ 4 × (initial_hypotheses + N)`, modulo branch timeouts (see `FAILURE_MODES.md`).

The framework below pins down **which skill fires when**, **which Verdict hard rule each skill enforces**, and **which subagent_type runs it**, so a session opened against the Verdict charter executes the same loop every time.
 
 The composition is a single-pass pipeline. Each phase has a defined input, output, the skill that runs it, and the gate that admits it to the next phase. Iteration happens **inside** a phase (e.g. RED → GREEN → REFACTOR inside test-driven-development), not by jumping back across the pipeline.

../blob/main/docs/BUILD_PLAN.md resolves to a non-existent local path and
produces a broken GitHub link in PR descriptions; docs/BUILD_PLAN.md is the
correct repo-root-relative path that GitHub resolves to the blob URL.

 Appendix A.5 [W1.A.0]
MIME-Version: 1.0

Appendix A.5 contained an outdated inline derive_seeds snippet that used
h.derive_key("seed_a").digest()[:4] — a blake3 API that does not exist in
the shipped implementation. The actual function (src/verdict/verification/
derive_seeds.py) uses keyed blake3 with digest(length=12). Updated the
appendix to import from the shipped module and removed the wrong snippet to
prevent W1.C.2 implementors from copy-pasting broken code.

pydantic-ai is absent from pyproject.toml, uv.lock, and every source file.
The args-validation layer uses plain Pydantic v2. Remove the stale reference
from ARCHITECTURE.md §7 stack table and CLAUDE.md §5 one-liner.

The file tree listed schemas/mode.py housing the Mode enum, but Mode is defined

Subject: [PATCH 066/136] docs(build-plan): update vol3 version pin from 2.10.0
 to 2.28.0 [W1.A.0]

DOCS_ACCURACY_REPORT C3 was resolved in ARCHITECTURE.md (line 375) but
BUILD_PLAN.md retained the old pin in W1.A.3.c and the ToolOutput schema
example comment in the Appendix. Align both occurrences with the corrected
vol3==2.28.0 pin.

 2. **Schema strictness vs recall tradeoff.** `Finding` validators reject sloppy findings — good for credibility, but each invariant is a place a *legitimate* finding gets rejected for the wrong reason. Mitigation: have `executor_work` *infer* `artifact_classes` deterministically from `artifact_paths` (e.g. paths matching `\Prefetch\*.pf` → `PREFETCH`) so the LLM never has to know the enum exists. Validator-as-projection rather than validator-as-gate.
 
-3. **"No evil found" verdict is unmodeled.** `Finding.artifact_paths min_length=2` rejects null findings. Some engineered cases will be benign-with-red-herrings. Need a `NegativeFinding` schema variant citing playbook *steps executed* rather than artifact paths. Currently a v1 gap.
+3. **"No evil found" verdict — resolved by `CaseConclusion` (see §6).** `Finding.artifact_paths min_length=2` still rejects empty-artifact findings; benign/red-herring cases instead produce `CaseConclusion(status="NO_EVIL_FOUND")` citing completed playbook steps and evidence hashes. No `NegativeFinding` variant is needed.
 
 4. **Plan-then-Execute is fundamentally batch; DFIR is fundamentally adaptive.** `pivot_max=15` recreates ReAct in a more constrained form. If demo runs show 90% sequential pivots, the topology pays overhead for a parallelism that doesn't materialize. Lean the demo narrative on the *audit-trail review story* (sequential is fine; structure is what reviewability needs) rather than runtime parallelism.

 1. **R1 — RESOLVED** — `VerdictStatus` enum cascade across 4 files now uses CLAUDE.md's six-value list as canonical; engine-quorum-vs-case-verdict distinction lives in CLAUDE.md §3.6.
-2. **R2 + R3** — Add a quorum dispatch table to ARCH §1 covering all three strategies; add empty-set-is-DISAGREEMENT rule.
-3. **R4** — Spec `ModeLockedError` exit-code + stderr in CLAUDE.md §3.4.
-4. **R5** — Add `max_clarify_iterations=2` to ARCH §2 comprehension_gate.
-5. **R7** — Spec pivot state-merge: 4 branches × 1 new hypothesis, append to `case.findings`, no dedup.
-6. **R9** — Add `_unverifiable_relaxes_corroboration` validator branch + `failure_reason` field; cite from ARCH §6.
-7. **D1 + D3** — Pull `.pre-commit-config.yaml` into W1.A.7 acceptance; add `scripts/check_no_mocks.py` AST hook task.
-8. **D2** — BUILD_PLAN sweep: every `*.a` "Failing test" subtask names the literal RED assertion; add RED-line policy to BUILD_PLAN intro.
-9. **R12** — Caveat-trigger-keying note at top of CLAUDE.md §3.3 table.
-10. **R13** — Sub-technique-applies-to-negatives sentence appended to CLAUDE.md §3.5.

+3. **R4 — RESOLVED** — `ModeLockedError` exit-code + stderr message specced in `CLAUDE.md` §3.4.
+4. **R5 — RESOLVED** — `max_clarify_iterations=2` and exhaustion-to-CONTESTED path added to `ARCHITECTURE.md` §2 comprehension-gate clarify budget subsection.
+5. **R7 — RESOLVED** — Pivot state-merge contract (4 branches × 1 new hypothesis, append to `case.findings`, no dedup, state invariant) added to `ARCHITECTURE.md` §2.

 [`spec/`](spec/) — point-in-time decision records. **Do not edit.** Cite from `ARCHITECTURE.md` instead. See [`spec/README.md`](spec/README.md) for what each numbered audit captured. Files: `01-audit-v4.3.md`, `02-audit-v4.4.md`, `03-audit-v4.5.md`, `04-spec-plan-v4.6.md`. (The original v4.6 TL;DR was promoted to `TLDR.md` and removed from the archive on 2026-05-02 to avoid drift.)

allowlist lives in .mcp.cloud.json / .mcp.dual.json. Update README.md and
the devcontainer.json header comment to reflect the correct split.

Acceptable for the full stack as long as you can install Microsandbox (Linux-only) and run the SIFT toolchain (`apt install sleuthkit volatility ...`). Faster I/O than the VM. Take a `pre-verdict` snapshot of your home before installing forensic tools — they leave state.
 3. **macOS host with the SIFT VM as a runtime target** (faster edit loop, smaller surface). Use VS Code Remote-SSH or `Develop on a Container` into the VM. Acceptable for schema, planner, MCP gateway, and unit-test work that doesn't shell out to forensic tools or Microsandbox. The moment your task touches a Microsandbox path or a forensic CLI, switch into the VM.

in finalize_node for UNVERIFIABLE findings, but the Finding schema has no
such field (it is marked Planned in §6). The prior sweep fixed §6 but left
the table cell stale. Align table with the same 'planned — see §6' note.

 **Empty-set rule:** if any quorum participant returns `parsed_artifacts=[]` (zero findings — e.g., GLM crashed silently, executor branch timed out per R6), it is treated as DISAGREEMENT for Jaccard / pair-agreement purposes. Empty-set is **never** a null vote that lets the non-empty engine win by default. Otherwise an executor that crashes silently becomes a free pass for the other lane and destroys the cross-engine guarantee.

test_planner_critique_is_wired_before_comprehension_gate (8 nodes +
edge wiring), not the stale test_five_nodes_present (5 nodes) recorded

-`_to_path_str` uses `pathlib.PurePosixPath(value)`, which deliberately does **not** resolve `..` segments or collapse leading `//`. The deny check then compares the un-normalized string against `"/evidence/"` via prefix match. Inputs like `/work/../evidence/out.txt`, `/tmp/../evidence/out.txt`, and `//evidence/out.txt` slip past Layer 2 even though the kernel resolves them to `/evidence/out.txt` at syscall time. Layer 3 (read-only mount + `noexec` + host `chattr +i`) is the actual write blocker in correctly-configured deployments, but `CLAUDE.md` §3.1 designates Layer 2 as the architectural guarantee that fires in all three modes — defense-in-depth must hold even if Layer 3 is degraded.

-`_TPMHMACProvider.sign()` truncates its message argument with `TPM2B_MAX_BUFFER(message[:1024])` and returns the digest as if it covered the full input. There is no length guard, no error on overflow, no chunked path via `TPM2_HMAC_Start` / `TPM2_SequenceUpdate` / `TPM2_SequenceComplete`. `LedgerWriter._compute_payload_hash` (writer.py:73-81) appends `prev_entry_hash` and `entry_id` **after** the JSON payload — for any tool-call entry whose serialized payload exceeds ~960 bytes (the steady state once `langfuse_trace_id`, `output_files_sha256`, `parse_warnings`, and the NIST SP 800-86 metadata are populated), the chain-linkage bytes fall past the truncation window and are not authenticated at all. An attacker with write access to `cases/<id>/ledger.jsonl` can rewrite `prev_entry_hash` / `entry_id` (or splice forged entries) while `verdict validate` still reports the chain as intact in the TPM configuration. Software (`hmac.HMAC`) and gpg-derived paths are unaffected.
+`_TPMHMACProvider` was not implemented in the current codebase. The TPM path in `load_or_create_hmac_key` raises `RuntimeError("TPM-backed HMAC key path is not implemented on this host yet")`, so the specific truncation vulnerability described in the original report does not currently exist. However, when TPM HMAC IS implemented, the same risk applies: signing code must not truncate the ledger entry message silently. `LedgerWriter._compute_payload_hash` appends `prev_entry_hash` and `entry_id` **after** the JSON payload — any TPM `TPM2B_MAX_BUFFER` truncation that falls short of those fields leaves chain-linkage bytes unauthenticated. Software (`hmac.HMAC`) and gpg-derived paths are unaffected.
 
-**Remediation:** raise an explicit `HMACMessageTooLargeError` for inputs > `TPM2B_MAX_BUFFER` until sequenced-HMAC is implemented; then implement `TPM2_HMAC_Start` / `SequenceUpdate` / `SequenceComplete` chunking. Mirror the change in `verify`. Add a unit test (the §3.10 single-system-boundary mock exception applies at the `tpm2_pytss` boundary) that signs a ≥ 4 KB message and asserts that two messages differing only in bytes after position 1024 produce different signatures.

_cmd_doctor has no Langfuse health check (confirmed in __main__.py). The
old terminal-behavior cell incorrectly stated "verdict doctor fails before
new case if still down". Replaced with the actual behavior: case continues,
local ledger written, Langfuse traces unavailable until service restored.

Subject: [PATCH 113/136] docs(contributing): guard cargo test and pnpm test in
 sanity check [W1.A.0]

No Cargo.toml or pnpm-lock.yaml exist in the repo yet. The install
block already uses `test -f Cargo.toml &&` and `test -f pnpm-lock.yaml
&&` guards; the sanity-check block lacked them, causing `cargo test`
and `pnpm test` to fail on a clean clone.

Subject: [PATCH 121/136] docs(architecture): vol3.info is a typed
 ExternalToolSpec, not a generic allow-list invocation [W1.A.0]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

registry.py registers vol3.info as an explicit ExternalToolSpec (with
vol3.pslist and vol3.psscan). ARCHITECTURE.md §6 described windows.info
as "invoked through the generic vol3 allow-list" and excluded it from
the 10 typed plugin wrappers; code contradicts that claim.

Update ARCHITECTURE.md §6 header from 23→24 wrappers and vol3 entry
from 10→11 typed plugin wrappers. Update DEVPOST_COMPLIANCE.md Criterion 3
and BUILD_PLAN.md project summary to match.

Subject: [PATCH 128/136] docs(accuracy-report): update H1/H2 resolution log to
 reflect 11 vol3 plugins and 24 wrappers [W1.A.0]

ARCHITECTURE.md and DEVPOST_COMPLIANCE.md both show 11 vol3 plugins (windows.info
reinstated in registry.py) and 24 wrappers. The resolution log entries for H1 and H2
incorrectly described the closed state as 10 plugins / 23 wrappers.

 W2 acceptance gate [W1.A.0]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Week 2 acceptance gate referenced git blame on tool_executor.py, but
src/verdict/graph/wrappers/tool_executor.py does not exist in the repo;
the wrappers/ directory contains only deny_rule.py and ledger_emitter.py
(both verified against git ls-files). The file tree in BUILD_PLAN.md §file-layout
already omits tool_executor.py. The acceptance gate now references the two
files that actually exist.

W5.E.4.a test description used the old `verdict approve <finding_id>`

Updated the task description to match the real command signature.
