From 3233719856314c00fc43969eb0967185284a55a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Buckley Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 17:41:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(judge): output_guard LLM stage with capability gate (#560 mitigation #1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds a second, LLM-driven stage to the output guard so domain-camouflaged prompt-injection payloads that the regex stage misses (arXiv:2605.22001 — Llama 3.1 8B evades the existing regex set on ~90% of camouflaged prompts) get caught before the tool output lands in the assistant's context. ## Surface * New `OutputGuardJudge` in `turnstone/core/output_guard_judge.py` — synchronous, single-shot LLM call. Inlines the alias-resolution + client-config + JSON-parsing helpers (copied verbatim from `IntentJudge` at `judge.py:917-969` / `1604-1659`) rather than going through a shared module — when `IntentJudge` lifts its own helpers, both copies move together. * JSON-in-content verdict with a 3-strategy parser (direct / markdown fence / balanced braces). `IntentJudge` ships a 4th regex-field fallback; OutputGuardJudge deliberately doesn't, because strategy-4 hits on broken LLM output can extract a "verdict" from the model's reasoning quote that lands in storage looking identical to a clean strategy-1 result. Failure of all three returns `error="unparseable_verdict"` and the heuristic stage stands. * `OutputJudgeVerdict` is a frozen dataclass with: `risk_level` (none/low/medium/high — normalises `critical`→`high` and `info[rmational]`→`low` for IntentJudge-echo safety), `flags: tuple[str, ...]`, `reasoning`, `confidence: float` (0.0-1.0, parsed + clamped from the LLM's self-report; pass-through to audit, no threshold gating), `judge_model`, `latency_ms`, `error`. * Real wall-clock timeout via `ThreadPoolExecutor.shutdown(wait=False, cancel_futures=True)` on the timeout/cancel path — `with ... as ex:` would block return until the worker drained. 1s `cancel_event` poll mirrors `IntentJudge._run_judge` at `judge.py:1117-1118`. * HTTP client lazy-init + reuse for the judge instance's lifetime. Session-side model swap drops the entire judge, dropping the client with it. * Untrusted tool output wrapped in per-call random-nonced `...` fence. Closing-tag substrings in the raw text are case-insensitively backslash-escaped first (` None: pass + def record_output_assessment( + self, + call_id: Any, + assessment: Any, + *, + tier: str = "heuristic", + reasoning: str = "", + judge_model: str = "", + latency_ms: int = 0, + confidence: float = 0.0, + ) -> None: + pass + def __getattr__(self, name: str) -> Any: # Catch-all for any UI hook not enumerated above so the chat # loop's ``self.ui.()`` call doesn't blow up. diff --git a/tests/test_model_registry.py b/tests/test_model_registry.py index 73c83ddf..68d44d2d 100644 --- a/tests/test_model_registry.py +++ b/tests/test_model_registry.py @@ -969,6 +969,17 @@ class _FakeUI: def on_state_change(self, state: str) -> None: ... def on_rename(self, name: str) -> None: ... def on_output_warning(self, call_id, assessment): ... + def record_output_assessment( + self, + call_id, + assessment, + *, + tier="heuristic", + reasoning="", + judge_model="", + latency_ms=0, + confidence=0.0, + ): ... def _make_session( diff --git a/tests/test_output_assessment_storage.py b/tests/test_output_assessment_storage.py index 7a964ccd..46f5f306 100644 --- a/tests/test_output_assessment_storage.py +++ b/tests/test_output_assessment_storage.py @@ -124,3 +124,57 @@ class TestOutputAssessmentCount: assert count == len(listed), ( f"Mismatch for ws_id={ws!r}, risk_level={rl!r}, since={s!r}, until={u!r}" ) + + +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Tier tie-breaker — when heuristic and llm rows share a second-resolution +# `created` value (the common case for two rows on the same call_id), the +# llm row must sort first so downstream consumers see the acted verdict. +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +class TestOutputAssessmentTierOrdering: + def test_llm_wins_tie_on_same_created(self, db): + # Two rows on the same call_id with the SAME `created` timestamp — + # without the tier tie-breaker the order is randomised by + # assessment_id (UUID).
