From 886ab1aa5de6ecdf0f4c3ef83d00437d5d43935c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mungall Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:53:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add invigilator: anti-cheat trace audit for leave-one-out runs Audits an agent run's tool-call trace (agent-.jsonl) and flags any file read/touched outside the allowed roots (the run env + shared raw-data dir). Root-based policy: every answer (real data/gold, full mapping, answer key) is outside the env, every legitimate input is inside it, so no per-identifier rules are needed. Two correctness details: cwd-aware Bash parsing (track cd, resolve relative tokens) to avoid false positives on 'cd env && cat data/...'; and lexical (non-symlink-following) containment so reads via the env's metadata symlink count as in-bounds. Ignores /dev|/proc|/sys tokens; surfaces all Bash for human review; exits non-zero on violations to gate a run. Validated against the real fold_ds07 run trace: CLEAN (reproduces the manual audit). 8 tests + doctest.

Isolation is by +*absence + instruction*; this module is the *audit* backstop: it reads the +agent's tool-call trace (`agent-.jsonl`) and flags any file the agent read +or touched that lies outside the allowed roots. + +Policy is **root-based**: an access is in-bounds iff its path resolves under + +* the run env (`.runs//`), or +* the shared raw-data dir (`~/ess-dive_wfsfa_soil_datasets/`), + +plus any explicitly allowed extras. This works because every *answer* (the real +`data/gold/`, the full mapping with the held-out entry, any answer-key dir) lives +*outside* the env, while every legitimate *input* (skills, ablated code, filtered +mapping, the held-out dataset's metadata via the env symlink, raw CSVs) lives +inside one of those roots. No per-identifier rules are needed. + +Two things make the audit correct rather than naive: + +* **cwd-aware Bash parsing.** Agents `cd` into the env and use relative paths + (`cd .runs/ && cat data/processed/…`); a substring match would false- + positive. We track `cd` per command and resolve relative tokens against the + effective working directory. +* **Lexical containment, not realpath.** The env symlinks shared inputs in + (e.g. `data/external/ess-dive_meta`); resolving symlinks would point those + reads back outside the env and wrongly flag them. We normalize paths + lexically (`..` handled) but do NOT follow symlinks, so accessing an input + *via the env* is in-bounds while reaching the same input by its real outside + path is flagged. + +Bash is not fully parseable, so unresolved commands are also surfaced verbatim +for human review — the audit never silently claims a command was clean when it +could not understand it. +""" +from __future__ import annotations + +import json +import os +import re +from dataclasses import dataclass, field +from pathlib import Path +from typing import Optional + +import typer + +DEFAULT_RAW_DATA = Path.home() / "ess-dive_wfsfa_soil_datasets" + +# System paths that show up as Bash tokens (mostly `2>/dev/null` redirects) but +# are never data access — never treated as violations. +IGNORED_ROOTS = [Path("/dev"), Path("/proc"), Path("/sys")] + +# Path-like tokens inside a Bash command: at least one '/', path-ish chars. +_PATH_TOKEN = re.compile(r"(?:~|\.{1,2}|/)?/?[\w.@+\-]+(?:/[\w.@+\-]+)+") +_CD = re.compile(r"^\s*cd\s+(?:--\s+)?['\"]?([^'\"&;|]+?)['\"]?\s*$") + + +def load_tool_uses(trace_path: Path) -> list[tuple[str, dict]]: + """Extract ``(tool_name, tool_input)`` pairs from a JSONL agent trace.""" + out: list[tuple[str, dict]] = [] + + def walk(o): + if isinstance(o, dict): + if o.get("type") == "tool_use": + out.append((o.get("name", ""), o.get("input", {}) or {})) + for v in o.values(): + walk(v) + elif isinstance(o, list): + for v in o: + walk(v) + + for line in Path(trace_path).read_text().splitlines(): + line = line.strip() + if line: + walk(json.loads(line)) + return out + + +def lexical_resolve(path: str, cwd: str) -> Path: + """Resolve ``path`` against ``cwd`` lexically (expanduser + normpath). + + Does NOT follow symlinks — accessing an input via the env's symlink should + count as inside the env. + + >>> str(lexical_resolve("data/x", "/repo/.runs/cfg")) + '/repo/.runs/cfg/data/x' + >>> str(lexical_resolve("../secret", "/repo/.runs/cfg")) + '/repo/.runs/secret' + """ + p = os.path.expanduser(path) + if not os.path.isabs(p): + p = os.path.join(cwd, p) + return Path(os.path.normpath(p)) + + +def under(path: Path, root: Path) -> bool: + """True if ``path`` is ``root`` or lexically inside it.""" + try: + Path(path).relative_to(root) + return True + except ValueError: + return False + + +@dataclass +class Violation: + tool: str + path: str + reason: str + context: str + + +@dataclass +class AuditReport: + clean: bool + violations: list[Violation] = field(default_factory=list) + n_tool_calls: int = 0 + n_reads: int = 0 + reads_in_bounds: int = 0 + bash_commands: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) + allowed_roots: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) + + +def _reason(p: Path, repo_root: Path, holdout_ids: list[str], raw: str) -> str: + s = str(p) + base = "outside allowed roots" + if "eval_answer_keys" in s or re.search(r"expert_dataset_\d+|expert_mapping_entry", s): + base = "ANSWER KEY" + elif under(p, repo_root / "data" / "gold") or under(p, repo_root / "data" / "processed"): + base = "real expert gold/mapping (outside env)" + elif under(p, repo_root): + base = "repo file outside env" + hit = next((h for h in holdout_ids if h and h in raw), None) + return f"{base} [references held-out {hit}]" if hit else base + + +def audit( + trace_path: Path, + env_dir: Path, + raw_data_dir: Path = DEFAULT_RAW_DATA, + repo_root: Optional[Path] = None, + extra_roots: Optional[list[Path]] = None, + holdout_identifiers: Optional[list[str]] = None, +) -> AuditReport: + """Audit a trace; return an :class:`AuditReport` (``clean`` False on any violation).""" + repo_root = Path(repo_root or Path.cwd()).resolve() + + def _abs(p) -> Path: + #
