* fix(mantis): enforce verdict-expectation coherence and publish agent analysis files
Mantis run 32619081130 on #127989 published an overall `pass` while its own
manifest recorded that the candidate expectation was not observed: per-lane
`status` was mechanical capture success and the agent's judgment lived only
in `expected` prose, so nothing reconciled the two before publication.
- `mantis-evidence.json` schemaVersion 2: each comparison lane carries a
required boolean `expectationMet`. The desktop agent sets it in the same
manifest edit as `expected`; mechanical producers (Telegram live, web UI,
Slack, Discord) derive it from lane status.
- `scripts/mantis/publish-pr-evidence.mjs` is the single enforcement owner:
it requires the booleans, recomputes `pass`/`outcome`, downgrades a
contradictory pass claim to `fail`, and renders a visible "verdict
downgraded" note. The desktop workflow invokes it with `--validate-only`
before upload or comment.
- Agent top-level `*.json`/`*.md` analysis files (assertions, comparisons,
recipe suggestion) now survive the quarantine rebuild and upload, so cited
evidence actually exists in the artifact.
* fix(mantis): derive expectations from trusted lane facts
Capture the proven mechanics from proof run 32616859410 (PR #127950) as a
reusable recipe: dual 600s timeout config patch, Code Mode exec events file,
streamed chunkDelayMs hold, and the observe-loop pattern around the 60s cap.
Require agents to record recipe-suggestion.md after scenario-mechanics
iteration so future discoveries persist.
* feat(mantis): add exec and restart lane primitives
Give the proof agent a developer shell inside each SUT container and an
in-container gateway restart so it can design scenarios like a local
developer: patch openclaw.json and restart, stage plugins and fixtures,
run node/tsx against the read-only repo root, inspect SQLite state.
- container script: exec (docker exec as mantis-sut, bounded by timeout),
restart (request file + TERM), sut_command becomes a relaunch supervisor
- lane CLI: exec returns bounded stdout/stderr/exitCode and records a
redacted invocation; restart waits for a fresh [gateway] ready marker
- MAX_SENDS 12 -> 40 (shared-QA-bot flood safety, not a scenario bound)
- runtime root chown root:mantis-proof, mode 1770 so the agent can stage
files while root-owned attestation stays unreplaceable
* docs(mantis): let the proof agent design scenarios like a local developer
Lead with developer-shell parity, allow reading whatever code the scenario
needs (PR text still untrusted, PR code only inside SUT lanes), document
exec/restart shapes, and reserve block for hard impossibilities.
* fix(mantis): keep the SUT exec result type local
* fix(mantis): resume the agent when it ends without a manifest
Run 32615428295 (exec branch on #127950) hit Codex context compaction at
03:52:11 and the model answered with a confabulated "handoff" message instead
of continuing; codex exec exited 0 with no mantis-evidence.json and the
trusted-evidence step failed the run with no verdict.
The agent step now checks for the manifest after codex exits and, when it is
missing, resumes the same thread (`codex exec ... resume --last -`, verified
against codex-rs/exec/src/lib.rs at rust-v0.149.0: cwd-matched latest thread,
`-` reads the prompt from stdin) with a short correction prompt, bounded to
three resumes. The main prompt states that a handoff/summary is never an
acceptable final message.
The pdf tool auto-resolves its model from plugin manifest defaults
(openai gpt-5.5), which the Mantis SUT catalog does not define, so every
pdf round trip died with "Unknown model: openai/gpt-5.5" before
native-vs-fallback dispatch (run 32572580656). Pin
agents.defaults.pdfModel to the only harness model and account for the
pdf tool's own provider request in the staged-media recipe wait/pins.
* docs(mantis): script catalog-tool turns through Code Mode exec
Run 32570733988 blocked both lanes with 'Tool pdf not found': the proof
agent scripted a top-level pdf function_call, but the SUT agent runs Code
Mode where catalog tools execute from JavaScript inside exec. Document the
canonical route in the proof prompt, add a complete exec(pdf) scripted-event
example plus the document-extract configPatch to the staged-media recipe,
and pin the new guidance in the workflow test.
* docs(mantis): wait for the exec round trip before finish
ClawSweeper P2: send releases the mock response once the outbound message
is visible, and finish tears the lane down, so a slow exec/pdf round trip
could lose its function_call_output follow-up. Observe until the cumulative
provider-request count covers the follow-up and assert the recorded
function_call_output before finish; pin the contract in the workflow test.
* feat(e2e): record provider media content facts
* docs(mantis): list staged-media recipe in recipe index
* fix(mantis): isolate mock provider evidence
* fix(mantis): state provider facts as tamper-evident, not provenance-trusted
The mock sidecar makes provider request facts tamper-evident: candidate
code cannot alter or remove a recorded request. It cannot make them
provenance-authenticated — every process in the SUT container shares the
internal network, UID, and gateway config, so nothing distinguishes the
gateway flow from any other candidate-originated request. The proof
prompt and busy-queue recipe now state exactly that property instead of
calling the facts trusted.
* fix(mantis): redact unparseable provider request bodies
Media redaction walks the parsed JSON body, so a request that fails
JSON.parse fell back to logging the raw text — leaking base64 payloads
the redactor exists to strip. Unparseable bodies now log a bounded
byte-count marker instead; regression posts a malformed body carrying a
data URL and asserts the payload never reaches the record.
* fix(mantis): expose newest provider records through a seq-stamped tail
The lane's requests surface kept the first 100 provider records, so a
session longer than the window hid exactly the newest requests a proof
asserts on. The mock server now stamps each record with a producer-owned
absolute seq ordinal, and the lane reads a bounded 128-record tail —
mirroring the sibling botApiRequests window. Regression writes 130
records and asserts the tail keeps seq 3..130; it fails pre-fix.
* refactor(mantis): reuse authorized desktop captures
* fix(mantis): budget desktop authorization failures
* chore(mantis): bound desktop proof retries
* fix(e2e): drop unused recorder failure fact type export
* fix(ci): route Mantis desktop teardown through the recorder wrapper
Cleanup invoked the internal recorder executable as mantis-sut, which is
deliberately kept out of the docker group and cannot read the
recorder-owned session file; teardown therefore failed and blocked
safe_to_release. The cleanup step already runs as the recorder user, so
call the public wrapper whose exec shim cds into the session root.
* fix(e2e): make recorder failure fact lane-readable; document v2 lifecycle
The Mantis workflow runs the recorder as the desktop user while the lane
reads the authorization-failure fact as mantis-sut; 0600 made that read
fail EACCES and silently disabled the two-attempt retry budget. Write the
fact 0644 — the 0770 attempt directory bounds visibility.
Update the mantis doc's recorder section for the v2 session lifecycle:
required --session handle with healthy-session reuse, capture-only stop,
and teardown owning authorization termination and lease release.
Makes the Mantis Telegram Desktop proof agent programmable at its trust boundaries: declarative Bot API fault rules (drop/status per method), per-request scripted mock-provider responses, observe-until predicates (post-cursor events/text, cumulative provider count), and bounded proxy-side recording of outbound Bot API requests as trusted lane facts. Adds a reusable recipe library under .github/codex/prompts/mantis-recipes/ and raises the proof agent's reasoning effort to high.
Security: the SUT container shadows proxy-control with an inaccessible tmpfs so candidate PR code sharing the mantis-sut uid cannot read or rewrite the proxy's recorded evidence; unmount is blocked by cap-drop/no-new-privileges. Proof doctrine now treats proxy-recorded Bot API facts as trusted comparison evidence and provider request logs as diagnostics.
Follow-up named in PR: move the mock OpenAI server out of the SUT container so provider request facts also become candidate-tamper-proof.
Make long, free-form Telegram proof runs truthful and resilient. Keep the trusted mock harness current across historical SUTs, preserve intentional silence and blocked outcomes, remove fixed attempt/lifetime caps, and export cropped motion proof without the prior memory spike.

Remove the premature visibility classifier and let one proof agent configure and exercise the disposable Telegram gateway. Align mock response timing with the 15-minute lane budget while preserving credential isolation through the alias-token proxy.
Preserve honest blocked proof outcomes and publish visible stop-reports without marking them passed. Serialize burst runs through the authoritative Telegram-user lease while reserving time for proof and cleanup.
Add trusted ClawSweeper-label and maintainer-comment dispatch for Mantis Telegram proof. Short-circuit non-visible PRs before desktop setup while preserving exact-head, fork, credential, and comment-ownership boundaries.
Move Mantis Telegram Desktop proof from the remote AWS/Crabbox lane to a recorder-driven local Docker desktop. Keep proof scenarios agent-authored, cache trusted build outputs, and publish exact visible Telegram evidence without writing the QA bot token to artifacts.

* feat(ci): weekly Codex sweep for date-carrying to-dos
Mondays 06:23 UTC (plus default-branch-only manual dispatch with
dry_run): a deterministic prefilter collects candidate lines where
to-do markers co-occur with date tokens, plus every deprecated compat
record from the plugin registry; a pinned openai/codex-action step
judges each candidate in context (genuine dated commitment vs
historical date or fixture) and writes an OVERDUE / DUE-30-days /
FUTURE report; a separate privileged job validates the report (tracked
file:line locations, date shape, inert text) and upserts one
marker-tagged tracking issue via the Barnacle app token, commenting
only when items newly become due.
The app token is minted on a fresh runner and checkout — never beside
Codex or its child processes; only the validated report artifact
crosses jobs. No permission-* subsets on token minting (installations
reject explicit subsets; see pr-ci-sweeper).
