Patrick Buckley b0ed67aa60 refactor(skills): move applied-skill body out of the identity system message
Step 3 of the skill/persona split: an applied skill (including default skills)
is CAPABILITY context, so its body no longer sits in the identity system
message. It rides its own message (user role) after the identity block, with a
short intro naming the active skill. The <available-skills> discovery catalog
stays in the system message.

Two consequences:
- The cached identity prefix (persona BASE + ENV + POLICIES + catalogs) stays
  stable across skills(load): loading/clearing a skill changes only the
  trailing capability message, not the identity block.
- The task_agent base (_agent_system_messages) is snapshotted BEFORE the skill
  block, so a parent's applied skill no longer leaks into the sub-agent prefix
  (the sub-agent supplies its own persona identity and skill via _exec_task).

PRE-MERGE GATE: the design gates this on a model-adherence eval (this branch vs
main) verifying the model follows a skill as well from a context message as it
did from the system message (design section 7 Q1; ASSUMED-neutral, UNVERIFIED).
That eval is not runnable in-tree and MUST clear before this branch merges.
Mechanical structure is pinned by TestSkillContextPlacement.

Deferred follow-up: sub-agent (task_agent) skill-resource materialization, so
${TURNSTONE_SKILL_DIR} stays literal on that path (unchanged since step 1).

Test helpers (_sys_content) now read the full prompt prefix (identity + skill
context) so placement-agnostic assertions keep working.

Patrick Buckley 110d44b07e refactor(tools): remove man, math, and plan_agent built-in tools
`man` and `math` duplicated capabilities already reachable through
`bash`; `plan_agent` is better expressed as a `task_agent` running a
planning skill, and carried a large amount of special-case machinery
(plan-review gate, refinement loop, per-kind model routing). Removing
all three shrinks the tool surface and cuts per-call token cost.

Also removed, as dead-once-the-tools-are-gone:
- the `math` sandbox executor (`turnstone.core.sandbox`) and its
  `[sandbox]` extra; the eval analyst now runs bash-only
- the read-only `AGENT_TOOLS` sub-agent tool set and the `agent`
  tool-metadata key (`task_agent`/`TASK_AGENT_TOOLS` retained)
- the plan-review protocol end to end: the `on_plan_review` UI hook,
  `resolve_plan`, `POST /v1/api/plan` + `POST /v1/api/route/plan`,
  the `plan_review`/`plan_resolved` SSE events, and their Python SDK /
  TypeScript SDK / OpenAPI / frontend / Discord+Slack bindings
- the `model.plan_alias` / `model.plan_effort` settings and the
  registry `plan_model` / `plan_effort` routing fields

TOOLS 31->28, TASK_AGENT_TOOLS 13->11; COORDINATOR_TOOLS unchanged.

BREAKING CHANGE: removes the `man`, `math`, `plan_agent` tools, the
plan-review SSE/HTTP/SDK surface, and the plan_* model-routing settings
from the experimental 1.6 line.

Patrick Buckley 3233719856 feat(judge): output_guard LLM stage with capability gate (#560 mitigation #1)
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
  `<tool_output_NONCE>...</tool_output_NONCE>` fence.  Closing-tag
  substrings in the raw text are case-insensitively backslash-escaped
  first (`</tool_output` → `<\/tool_output`) so an attacker can't
  break out even if they guess the nonce.  System prompt classifies
  the fenced region as UNTRUSTED DATA so directives inside are
  evaluated as content, not obeyed.

* Judge user prompt carries the heuristic verdict (risk + flags +
  annotations), the tool description (looked up from the session's
  tools registry), and the tool args (truncated to 500 chars, also
  classified UNTRUSTED in the system prompt since they may be
  caller-supplied).  Lets the judge defer to the regex on credential
  leaks and focus on injection signals the regex set misses; also
  enables output-vs-request plausibility reasoning.

## Session integration

* `_evaluate_output(call_id, output, func_name, *, tool_args="")` —
  heuristic always runs; LLM stage runs when `judge.output_guard_llm`
  is enabled.  When the LLM produces a usable verdict and the
  heuristic didn't detect credentials, the LLM verdict is acted on;
  otherwise the heuristic stands.

* Credential redaction is a regex-only signal.  When `heuristic.
  sanitized` is non-None, the heuristic owns the acted assessment
  regardless of what the LLM said — an LLM asked about prompt-
  injection can correctly label a credential-bearing output as
  "none" risk for injection, but the secret still needs redaction.

* `_batch_evaluate_outputs` runs the per-tool guard concurrently
  (4-worker pool) when LLM is enabled and there are ≥2 string
  outputs — collapses N×LLM-latency to ⌈N/4⌉×latency on the common
  5-20 tool-calls-per-turn turn.

* Per-session `TokenBucket(rate=1.0, burst=60)` caps adversarial
  LLM-fan-out cost at 60 calls/min/session.

* Pre-truncation: the per-tool loop truncates output before the
  judge sees it, so the judge evaluates exactly what enters the
  assistant's context (no wasted tokens on text that won't land).

* Both heuristic and LLM tier rows persisted to `output_assessments`
  when the LLM ran (audit completeness); heuristic-only rows skip
  when matched-clean to keep the table focused.

## Storage

Migration 057 extends `output_assessments` with five LLM-tier
columns: `tier` (`heuristic` / `llm`, backfilled to `heuristic`),
`reasoning`, `judge_model`, `latency_ms`, `confidence`.  Tie-break
on `(created DESC, tier='llm' first)` so downstream consumers see
the acted verdict first when the two rows tie at second resolution.

`StorageBackend.record_output_assessment` + sqlite/pg implementations
+ `SessionUIBase.record_output_assessment` + `SessionUI` protocol +
the test stub overrides (cli, eval, 9 test files) all take the new
LLM-tier kwargs.

## Config surface

Three new judge.* settings in `settings_registry`:

* `judge.output_guard_llm` (bool, default False) — capability gate.
  Default off; operators opt in once a small/fast model is pointed
  at `output_guard_model`.

* `judge.output_guard_model` (str, default "") — alias for the LLM
  stage.  Empty inherits the session model (same fallback shape as
  `judge.model`).

* `judge.output_guard_llm_timeout` (float, default 30.0, min 1.0) —
  wall-clock budget per call.

Both `server.py` and `console/session_factory.py` wire these into
the `JudgeConfig` they hand to `ChatSession`.

## Notes

* No backwards-compatibility shims — the LLM stage is purely additive.

* No reasoning/threshold gating on confidence; it rides as an
  audit-only signal per maintainer direction.  Surface it in the
  `on_output_warning` dict so live UI / cluster broadcast can sort
  flagged outputs by judge certainty.

* Tests: 392 lines of judge-only coverage (`test_output_guard_judge.
  py`) + 629 lines of session-integration coverage in `test_session.
  py`, plus the storage and stub-shape updates.

Patrick Buckley 29b850919f feat(sse): refresh-resume for mid-stream page reloads
Refreshing a coordinator or interactive workstream pane while the LLM
is mid-stream now restores the partial assistant text + reasoning
immediately and flips the composer back to stop-mode, instead of
showing nothing until the response completes.

Per-turn inflight buffers (`_ws_inflight_content`, `_ws_inflight_reasoning`,
`_ws_inflight_seq`) on `SessionUIBase` are kept separate from the
existing multi-turn `_ws_turn_content` buffer that drives the
dashboard's IDLE-piggyback payload. New `on_turn_start` (top of
send-loop, defensive) and `on_turn_committed` (right after
`messages.append(assistant_msg)`, primary) lifecycle hooks reset
inflight at turn boundaries. The seq counter is monotonic across
turns so a long-lived subscriber's `snap_seq` cutoff stays valid for
the lifetime of the connection — resetting per-turn would silently
drop turn N+1's first M tokens (M = whatever was streamed pre-snapshot
in turn N).

`snapshot_and_consume_state_payload` also drains inflight at idle/error
so cancel and exception paths don't leak stale text. New
`register_listener_with_in_progress_snapshot` atomically registers a
listener and snapshots the inflight buffers; `make_events_handler`
emits a `state_change` event (so the JS busy machine flips to
stop-mode) followed by a one-shot `in_progress_snapshot` after the
kind-specific replay, then strips the internal `_seq` field from
yielded live events while filtering against `snap_seq`. A per-listener
shallow `dict` copy in the live drain prevents the multi-tab race
where one listener's `del event["_seq"]` would corrupt another
listener's filter view.

`_synthesize_cancelled_results` now emits synthetic `on_tool_result`
events for each cancelled tool so live coord tabs can drop the
newly-additive `coord-tool-batch--running` indicator cleanly. The
indicator now coexists with `--auto`/`--approved` (applied on
`tool_info` and `approval_resolved` approved; removed when every row
in the batch has a result), making live tool execution visually
parallel to the replay-time orphan rendering.

Frontend handlers in `app.js` (interactive) and `coordinator.js` (coord)
absorb EventSource auto-reconnect re-replays via a length-based
prefix check on the in-progress buffer. New `InProgressSnapshotEvent`
+ `StateChangeEvent` dataclasses in the Python and TypeScript SDKs
with type guards.

`_MAX_TURN_CONTENT_CHARS` lifted 256 KiB → 512 KiB (single constant
for both buffers — headroom for current commercial models).

Regression tests cover race-free composition under concurrent writers,
seq-filter dedup invariants, the cross-turn seq monotonic invariant,
idle/error inflight drain, synthesized `on_tool_result` on cancel
(including UI-hook failure isolation), and the multi-listener
shared-dict invariant.

Patrick Buckley e901e859c7 fix: materialize skill resources to disk for subprocess access (#271)
* fix: materialize skill resources to disk for subprocess access

Skill-bundled scripts stored in skill_resources were loaded into memory
but never written to disk, causing FileNotFoundError when the model
tried to execute them. Write resources to a per-workstream temp directory
on skill load, expose via SKILL_RESOURCES_DIR env var and PATH, clean up
on skill change or session close.

* fix: pre-flight validation warns when skill references missing resources

Scan rendered skill content for path references (scripts/foo.py, etc.)
and compare against bundled skill_resources. Warn via on_info if any
referenced paths are not bundled, so operators see the gap at skill
activation rather than at runtime FileNotFoundError.

* fix: address PR #271 review feedback

- Fix trailing colon in PATH when $PATH is empty (cwd-on-PATH risk)
- Move try/except inside per-resource loop so one bad write doesn't
  abort all resources
- Explicit encoding="utf-8" for deterministic writes across locales

* fix: address PR #271 review round 2

- Normalize available paths in _validate_skill_resources() to match
  referenced paths (both sides use os.path.normpath now)
- Fix flaky traversal test: assert inside base dir, not escaped path
