Fixes gaps exposed by rubber-duck review. Server now accepts --host/--port. Dockerfile.sidecar copies modules/. Docs rewritten to be honest about shipped vs planned features.

…planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

🤖 AI Agent: test-generator — `__main__.py`

🧪 Test Coverage Analysis

__main__.py

  • ✅ Existing coverage: The existing tests likely cover the basic functionality of starting the server and handling requests, but specific tests for command-line argument parsing and server configurations may be limited.
  • ❌ Missing coverage: There is no evidence of tests that validate the handling of command-line arguments, especially edge cases such as invalid host/port values, or tests that ensure the server behaves correctly when provided with various log levels.
  • 💡 Suggested test cases:
    1. test_main_invalid_host — Test the server's behavior when an invalid host is provided as a command-line argument (e.g., an invalid IP address).
    2. test_main_invalid_port — Test the server's behavior when an invalid port number is provided (e.g., a negative number or a number greater than 65535).
    3. test_main_default_values — Verify that the server starts with default values for host and port when no arguments are provided.
    4. test_main_log_level — Ensure that the server correctly accepts and applies different log levels via command-line arguments.
    5. test_main_env_variables — Test that the server correctly uses environment variables for host, port, and log level when provided, ensuring they override default values.

These tests will help ensure that the server's command-line interface is robust and handles edge cases effectively, improving overall test coverage and reliability.

🤖 AI Agent: security-scanner — Security Findings Review

Security Findings Review

  1. Prompt Injection Defense Bypass: 🔴 CRITICAL

    • Attack Vector: The sidecar API does not yet transparently intercept tool calls, meaning that agents must explicitly call the governance API for prompt injection detection. If an agent does not implement this correctly, it could allow prompt injection attacks to bypass the governance checks.
    • Suggested Fix: Implement a transparent proxy mechanism that automatically intercepts all tool calls without requiring explicit API calls from the agent. This would ensure that all inputs are scanned for prompt injection before reaching the agent.
  2. Policy Engine Circumvention: 🟠 HIGH

    • Attack Vector: The documentation indicates that the governance sidecar does not enforce policies unless the agent explicitly calls the governance API. This could lead to scenarios where agents may skip governance checks, especially if they are misconfigured or if developers forget to implement the API calls.
    • Suggested Fix: Enforce a mandatory configuration that requires all agents to interact with the governance sidecar for any action execution. Consider implementing a default policy that blocks all actions unless explicitly allowed by the governance sidecar.
  3. Trust Chain Weaknesses: 🟡 MEDIUM

    • Attack Vector: The Dockerfile does not specify any certificate pinning or SPIFFE/SVID validation mechanisms. If the governance sidecar communicates with external services without proper validation, it could be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
    • Suggested Fix: Implement certificate pinning and ensure that all external communications validate the identity of the services being called. Use SPIFFE/SVID for service identity verification.
  4. Credential Exposure: 🟡 MEDIUM

    • Attack Vector: The environment variables used in the Dockerfile (e.g., LOG_LEVEL) could potentially expose sensitive information if not handled properly. If logs are not sanitized, they might leak sensitive data.
    • Suggested Fix: Ensure that logging is configured to avoid exposing sensitive information. Implement log sanitization and review logging practices to prevent sensitive data exposure.
  5. Sandbox Escape: 🔵 LOW

    • Attack Vector: The governance sidecar runs in a containerized environment, but there are no explicit measures mentioned to prevent sandbox escape. If an attacker gains access to the container, they may exploit vulnerabilities to escape the sandbox.
    • Suggested Fix: Implement security best practices for containerization, such as using non-root users, limiting container capabilities, and ensuring that the container runs with the least privilege necessary.
  6. Deserialization Attacks: 🔵 LOW

    • Attack Vector: The code does not show any direct deserialization of untrusted data, but if any future features involve deserializing user input or external data, it could introduce vulnerabilities.
    • Suggested Fix: Use safe deserialization libraries and validate all input data rigorously. Implement strict type checks and avoid deserializing data from untrusted sources.
  7. Race Conditions: 🟡 MEDIUM

    • Attack Vector: The sidecar's reliance on external calls for policy enforcement could introduce race conditions, especially if multiple agents are trying to execute actions concurrently without proper locking mechanisms.
    • Suggested Fix: Implement locking mechanisms or transactional integrity checks to ensure that policy evaluations and actions are atomic and cannot be interrupted by concurrent requests.
  8. Supply Chain: 🟠 HIGH

    • Attack Vector: The use of external dependencies without proper vetting could expose the project to dependency confusion or typosquatting attacks. The Dockerfile and code imports should be reviewed for any unverified packages.
    • Suggested Fix: Use a dependency management tool to verify the integrity of all packages. Implement a policy for using only vetted and trusted dependencies, and consider using a private package registry for critical components.

Summary

The pull request introduces significant changes to the governance toolkit, but it also exposes several critical security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed to ensure the integrity and security of the system. Immediate attention should be given to implementing transparent governance checks and enhancing the overall security posture of the toolkit.

🤖 AI Agent: code-reviewer

Review Summary

This pull request improves the documentation for the OpenClaw governance sidecar, clarifies its current capabilities, and updates the Dockerfile and server entry point for better configurability. While the changes are primarily documentation-focused, they also include minor code updates that affect deployment and runtime behavior.

Below is a detailed review of the changes, highlighting critical issues, warnings, and suggestions.


🔴 CRITICAL

  1. Lack of Authentication for Governance API

    • The governance sidecar exposes sensitive endpoints (e.g., /api/v1/execute and /api/v1/detect/injection) without any form of authentication or authorization. This creates a significant attack vector where malicious actors could exploit the API to bypass governance or execute arbitrary actions.
    • Action Required: Implement authentication and authorization for all API endpoints. Consider using API keys, OAuth, or mutual TLS for securing the API.
  2. Environment Variable Injection Risk

    • The HOST and PORT environment variables are directly used to configure the server without validation. This could allow an attacker to manipulate the server's behavior if they gain control over the environment variables.
    • Action Required: Validate and sanitize all environment variables before using them. For example, ensure PORT is a valid integer within the acceptable range (e.g., 1024–65535).
  3. Missing Input Validation for API Endpoints

    • The /api/v1/execute and /api/v1/detect/injection endpoints do not appear to validate their input payloads rigorously. This could lead to injection attacks or unexpected behavior.
    • Action Required: Use Pydantic models to validate and sanitize all incoming API requests. Define strict schemas for the payloads.

🟡 WARNING

  1. Potential Breaking Change in Environment Variables

    • The environment variable GOVERNANCE_PROXY has been renamed to GOVERNANCE_API. This change could break existing deployments that rely on the old variable.
    • Action Required: Provide backward compatibility by supporting both GOVERNANCE_PROXY and GOVERNANCE_API for a deprecation period. Log a warning if GOVERNANCE_PROXY is used, and document the deprecation timeline.
  2. Policy Directory Handling

    • The POLICY_DIR environment variable has been removed from the Dockerfile, and the roadmap mentions plans to support YAML policy loading from a mounted volume. However, this feature is not yet implemented, and the removal of POLICY_DIR may confuse users.
    • Action Required: Either retain the POLICY_DIR environment variable until the feature is implemented or clearly document the current limitations and the timeline for the feature.

💡 SUGGESTIONS

  1. Add Default Policies

    • The documentation removes the example policies/openclaw-default.yaml file. While this simplifies the documentation, it may leave users without a clear starting point for creating their own policies.
    • Suggestion: Provide a default policy file in the repository or as part of the Docker image. This would help users get started quickly and ensure a baseline level of security.
  2. Add Prometheus Metrics Endpoint

    • The roadmap mentions plans to add a Prometheus-compatible /metrics endpoint. This is a critical feature for production environments and should be prioritized.
    • Suggestion: Implement the Prometheus metrics endpoint as soon as possible to enable better monitoring and integration with existing observability stacks.
  3. Clarify Roadmap Timeline

    • The roadmap lists several important features, such as transparent tool-call proxying and trust score persistence. However, there is no indication of when these features will be available.
    • Suggestion: Add estimated timelines or milestones for each roadmap item to set clear expectations for users.
  4. Improve Documentation on Security Best Practices

    • The documentation does not provide sufficient guidance on securing the governance sidecar in production environments.
    • Suggestion: Add a dedicated section on security best practices, including recommendations for securing the API, using network policies, and monitoring for unauthorized access.
  5. Test Coverage for New Features

    • The changes to the server entry point (e.g., --host and --port arguments) and the Dockerfile should be accompanied by new tests to ensure they work as expected.
    • Suggestion: Add unit tests for the argparse logic in __main__.py and integration tests for the updated Dockerfile.
  6. Healthcheck Improvement

    • The health check in the Dockerfile uses a Python script to query the /health endpoint. While functional, this approach is less efficient than using a native HTTP client.
    • Suggestion: Replace the Python-based health check with a lightweight HTTP client like curl or wget.

Additional Observations

  • Backward Compatibility for OpenClaw Integration: The documentation notes that OpenClaw does not yet natively support the GOVERNANCE_API environment variable. This limitation should be addressed in future updates to avoid requiring manual configuration.
  • Thread Safety: No changes in this PR directly affect thread safety. However, the lack of input validation and authentication could indirectly lead to thread safety issues if malicious payloads exploit concurrency.

Summary of Actions

Critical Fixes

  • Add authentication and authorization for API endpoints.
  • Validate and sanitize environment variables (HOST, PORT).
  • Use Pydantic models for input validation.

Warnings

  • Provide backward compatibility for GOVERNANCE_PROXY.
  • Retain or document the removal of POLICY_DIR.

Suggestions

  • Provide a default policy file.
  • Implement the Prometheus /metrics endpoint.
  • Add estimated timelines to the roadmap.
  • Add a security best practices section to the documentation.
  • Add tests for new server arguments and Dockerfile changes.
  • Replace the Python-based health check with a native HTTP client.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (microsoft#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by
azure-sdk, dotnet runtime, and other Microsoft OSS projects.

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (microsoft#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

Upgraded in 3 packages:
- extensions/copilot: 1.14.0 → 1.15.0
- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (microsoft#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

- Update SOC2 mapping to reflect CredentialRedactor now redacts
  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* feat(rust): add execution rings and lifecycle management to Rust SDK

Add two new modules to the agentmesh Rust crate:

- rings.rs: Four-level execution privilege ring model (Admin/Standard/
  Restricted/Sandboxed) with per-agent assignment and per-ring action
  permissions, ported from the Python hypervisor enforcer.

- lifecycle.rs: Eight-state agent lifecycle manager (Provisioning through
  Decommissioned) with validated state transitions and event history,
  matching the lifecycle model used across other SDK languages.

Both modules include comprehensive unit tests and are re-exported from
the crate root. README updated with API tables and usage examples.

* docs: update SDK feature matrix after parity pass (#950)

Reflects new capabilities added in PRs #947 (TS), .NET, Rust, Go:
- TypeScript: MCP security scanner + lifecycle management (was 5/14, now 7/14)
- .NET: Kill switch + lifecycle management (was 8/14, now 10/14)
- Rust: Execution rings + lifecycle management (was 6/14, now 8/14)
- Go: MCP security + rings + lifecycle (was 4/14, now 7/14)

All SDKs now have lifecycle management. Core governance (policy, identity,
trust, audit) + lifecycle = 5 primitives shared across all 5 languages.

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* fix(pipeline): run NuGet ESRP signing on Windows agent (microsoft#1022)

The EsrpCodeSigning@5 task constructs internal paths (batchSignPolicyFile,
ciPolicyFile) using Windows-style backslashes. Running on ubuntu-latest
produced garbled mixed paths like '/home/vsts/work/1/s/src\myapp\'.

Changes:
- Add per-job pool override: PublishNuGet runs on windows-latest
- Convert FolderPath and all shell commands to Windows paths
- Replace bash scripts with PowerShell for the Windows agent
- PyPI and npm stages remain on ubuntu-latest (unchanged)
- Add comment to delete orphaned ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID ADO variable

* docs: reland empty-merge changes from PRs microsoft#1017 and microsoft#1020 (microsoft#1125)

PRs microsoft#1017 and microsoft#1020 were squash-merged as empty commits (0 file
changes). This commit re-applies the intended documentation updates.

From PR microsoft#1017 (critic gaps):
- LIMITATIONS.md: add sections 7 (knowledge governance gap), 8
  (credential persistence gap), 9 (initialization bypass risk)
- LIMITATIONS.md: add knowledge governance and enforcement infra
  rows to 'What AGT Is Not' table
- THREAT_MODEL.md: add knowledge flow and credential persistence
  to residual risks, add configuration bypass vectors table,
  remove stale '10/10' qualifier

From PR microsoft#1020 (SOC2 resolved gaps):
- soc2-mapping.md: mark kill switch as resolved (saga handoff
  implemented in kill_switch.py:69-178)
- soc2-mapping.md: mark DeltaEngine verify_chain() as resolved
  (SHA-256 chain verification in delta.py:67-127)
- soc2-mapping.md: add Resolved section to gaps summary, update
  Processing Integrity to 2 of 4 defects (was 3 of 4)

* feat(dotnet): add MCP security namespace — completes cross-language MCP parity (microsoft#1021)

* fix(ci): add path filters and concurrency; announce v3.1.0 release

CI optimization:
- Add paths-ignore for docs to 5 code-only workflows
- Add paths filter to Link Check (only run on docs changes)
- Add concurrency groups to 7 heavy workflows
- Docs-only PRs drop from ~14 checks to ~4

README:
- Add v3.1.0 release announcement callout
- Add PyPI version badge
- Update tutorial count to 31



* docs: update SOC2 mapping for resolved kill switch and DeltaEngine gaps

- Kill switch is no longer placeholder: now implements saga handoff
  with handoff_success_count tracking (kill_switch.py:69-178)
- DeltaEngine verify_chain() is no longer a stub: now performs SHA-256
  chain verification (delta.py:67-127)
- Move both from Critical/High gaps to new 'Resolved' section
- Update Processing Integrity coverage (2 of 4 defects, not 3 of 4)
- Update evidence table with current line ranges



* feat(dotnet): add MCP security namespace with scanner, gateway, redactor, and sanitizer

Add AgentGovernance.Mcp namespace implementing full MCP security parity with
TypeScript and Rust SDKs:

- McpSecurityScanner: tool poisoning, typosquatting, hidden instructions,
  rug pull, schema abuse, cross-server attack, and description injection detection
- McpCredentialRedactor: regex-based redaction of API keys, bearer tokens,
  connection strings, and secret assignments
- McpResponseSanitizer: response scanning for prompt injection tags,
  imperative phrasing, credential leakage, and exfiltration URLs
- McpGateway: policy enforcement pipeline with deny/allow lists, payload
  sanitization, rate limiting, and human approval gates

Includes 46 xUnit tests covering all threat categories. Updates
SDK-FEATURE-MATRIX.md to flip .NET MCP Security from — to ✅.

* docs: update SDK feature matrix after parity pass (microsoft#950)

Reflects new capabilities added in PRs microsoft#947 (TS), .NET, Rust, Go:
- TypeScript: MCP security scanner + lifecycle management (was 5/14, now 7/14)
- .NET: Kill switch + lifecycle management (was 8/14, now 10/14)
- Rust: Execution rings + lifecycle management (was 6/14, now 8/14)
- Go: MCP security + rings + lifecycle (was 4/14, now 7/14)

All SDKs now have lifecycle management. Core governance (policy, identity,
trust, audit) + lifecycle = 5 primitives shared across all 5 languages.

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (microsoft#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned (microsoft#958)

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging - use workspace root with -p agentmesh (microsoft#959)

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's
target/package/, not the individual crate's directory. The pipeline was
running from the crate subdirectory and couldn't find the output.

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh
to packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust (workspace root) and add -p agentmesh
to all cargo commands to target the specific crate.

* fix(ci): use ESRP Release for NuGet signing (microsoft#961)

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): correct ESRP NuGet contenttype casing (microsoft#962)

* fix(ci): add missing packages to ESRP pipeline and fix Go version tag

Three gaps found during publish verification:

1. PyPI: add agentmesh-marketplace (8th package, was missing from matrix)
2. Rust: build+publish both workspace crates (agentmesh + agentmesh-mcp)
   - Changed from single-crate to workspace build (--workspace)
   - Package loop builds both .crate files
   - Renamed artifact from 'rust-agentmesh' to 'rust-crates'
3. Go: add 'v' prefix to version in doc.go (3.1.0 → v3.1.0)
   - Go module tags require semver with v prefix
   - Pipeline grep expects '// Version: v...' format

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): correct ESRP NuGet contenttype casing — 'NuGet' not 'Nuget'

ESRP Release rejected 'Nuget' with: 'The value provided for
ReleaseContentType property is invalid.' ErrorCode 2254.

ESRP content types are case-sensitive. Fix: 'Nuget' -> 'NuGet'.

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (microsoft#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by
azure-sdk, dotnet runtime, and other Microsoft OSS projects.

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (microsoft#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

Upgraded in 3 packages:
- extensions/copilot: 1.14.0 → 1.15.0
- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (microsoft#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

  Azure (AKS, Foundry, Container Apps), AWS (ECS/Fargate), GCP (GKE),
  Docker Compose, self-hosted. Updated architecture diagram to show
  cloud-agnostic deployment patterns.
- Fix broken AWS/GCP links (pointed to non-existent paths)

* feat: add AGT Lite — zero-config governance in 3 lines, fix broken quickstart (microsoft#1044)

Addresses the #1 developer experience criticism: AGT is too complex to start.

New: agent_os.lite — lightweight governance module
- govern() factory: one line to create a governance gate
- check(action): one line to enforce — raises GovernanceViolation or returns True
- check.is_allowed(action): non-raising bool version
- Allow lists, deny lists, regex patterns, content filtering, rate limiting
- Built-in audit trail and stats
- Sub-millisecond evaluation (0.003ms avg, 1000 evals in <100ms)
- Zero dependencies beyond stdlib (re, time, datetime)
- 16 tests passing

Fix: govern_in_60_seconds.py quickstart
- BROKEN: was calling PolicyEvaluator.add_rules() which does not exist
- FIXED: now uses agent_os.lite.govern() which actually works
- Verified end-to-end: script runs and produces correct output

The lite module is for developers who just want basic governance
without learning PolicyEvaluator, YAML, OPA/Rego, trust mesh, etc.
Upgrade to the full stack when you need it.

- Docker security (root containers, wildcard CORS, hardcoded passwords,
  0.0.0.0 bindings)
- XSS and unsafe DOM (innerHTML, eval, yaml.load, shell=True)
- Action SHA pinning compliance
- Version pinning (pyproject.toml upper bounds, Docker :latest tags,
  license field format)
- Dependency confusion with --strict mode (pyproject.toml + package.json)

* feat: add reversibility checker, trust calibration guide, and escalation/reversibility tests (microsoft#1061)

Addresses critical review feedback:

1. Rollback/reversibility (agent_os.reversibility)
   - ReversibilityChecker: pre-execution assessment of action reversibility
   - 4 levels: fully_reversible, partially_reversible, irreversible, unknown
   - CompensatingAction: structured undo plans for each action type
   - Built-in rules for 12 common actions (write, deploy, delete, email, etc.)
   - block_irreversible mode for strict environments

2. Trust score calibration guide (docs/security/trust-score-calibration.md)
   - Score component weights (compliance 35%, task 25%, behavior 25%, identity 15%)
   - Decay functions with tier floors
   - Initial score assignments by agent origin
   - Threshold recommendations (conservative/moderate/permissive)
   - Anti-gaming measures and operational playbook

3. Tests: 19 passing (10 escalation + 9 reversibility)

* fix: align lotl_prevention_policy.yaml with PolicyDocument schema

The policy file used an incompatible schema format (id, parameter,
regex_match, effect) instead of the expected PolicyDocument fields
(name, condition.field, operator, action). This caused the
validate-policies CI check to fail for all PRs.

Changes:

* fix: resolve .NET ESRP signing issues blocking NuGet publish

GitHub Actions (publish.yml):
- Fix broken if-guards on signing steps: env.ESRP_AAD_ID was set in
  step-level env (invisible to if-expressions). Replace with job-level
  ESRP_CONFIGURED env derived from secrets.
- Add missing ESRP_CERT_IDENTIFIER to signing step env blocks.
- Gate the publish step on ESRP_CONFIGURED so unsigned packages are
  never pushed to NuGet.org under the Microsoft.* prefix.
- Make stub signing steps fail-fast (exit 1) instead of silently
  succeeding, preventing unsigned packages from reaching NuGet push.

ADO Pipeline (esrp-publish.yml):
- Add UseDotNet@2 task to Publish_NuGet stage so dotnet nuget push
  has a guaranteed SDK version on the Windows agent.

* fix(docs): fix OpenClaw sidecar demo and add limitations callout (microsoft#1163)

The docker-compose example in openclaw-sidecar.md was illustrative only
and did not work — it referenced a non-existent OpenClaw image and lacked
healthchecks. Users were hitting this and getting confused.

Changes:
- Add working demo at demo/openclaw-governed/ with docker-compose.yaml
  that builds and runs the governance sidecar from source
- Replace the inline docker-compose in the doc with a link to the demo
  plus a clearly-labeled reference template for custom deployments
- Add prominent WARNING callout listing known limitations (no native
  OpenClaw integration, no published images, explicit API required)
- Remove stale orphaned curl snippet after the docker-compose block
- Add healthcheck to docker-compose governance-sidecar service
- Fix OpenClaw image reference from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
  to a placeholder users must replace with their own image

* fix(ci): use PME tenant ID for ESRP cert signing

The ESRP signing cert lives in the PME (Partner Managed Engineering)
tenant (975f013f), not the Microsoft corporate tenant (72f988bf).
Using the wrong tenant ID causes ESRP signing to fail when looking
up the cert.

* feat(rust): add execution rings and lifecycle management to Rust SDK

Add two new modules to the agentmesh Rust crate:

- rings.rs: Four-level execution privilege ring model (Admin/Standard/

  permissions, ported from the Python hypervisor enforcer.

- lifecycle.rs: Eight-state agent lifecycle manager (Provisioning through
  Decommissioned) with validated state transitions and event history,
  matching the lifecycle model used across other SDK languages.

Both modules include comprehensive unit tests and are re-exported from
the crate root. README updated with API tables and usage examples.

- .NET: Kill switch + lifecycle management (was 8/14, now 10/14)
- Rust: Execution rings + lifecycle management (was 6/14, now 8/14)
- Go: MCP security + rings + lifecycle (was 4/14, now 7/14)

All SDKs now have lifecycle management. Core governance (policy, identity,
trust, audit) + lifecycle = 5 primitives shared across all 5 languages.

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging - use workspace root with -p agentmesh (#959)

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's
target/package/, not the individual crate's directory. The pipeline was
running from the crate subdirectory and couldn't find the output.

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh
to packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust (workspace root) and add -p agentmesh
to all cargo commands to target the specific crate.

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by
azure-sdk, dotnet runtime, and other Microsoft OSS projects.

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

- Update SOC2 mapping to reflect CredentialRedactor now redacts
  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* feat: add AGT Lite — zero-config governance in 3 lines, fix broken quickstart (#1044)

Addresses the #1 developer experience criticism: AGT is too complex to start.

New: agent_os.lite — lightweight governance module
- govern() factory: one line to create a governance gate
- check(action): one line to enforce — raises GovernanceViolation or returns True
- check.is_allowed(action): non-raising bool version
- Allow lists, deny lists, regex patterns, content filtering, rate limiting
- Built-in audit trail and stats
- Sub-millisecond evaluation (0.003ms avg, 1000 evals in <100ms)
- Zero dependencies beyond stdlib (re, time, datetime)
- 16 tests passing

Fix: govern_in_60_seconds.py quickstart
- BROKEN: was calling PolicyEvaluator.add_rules() which does not exist
- FIXED: now uses agent_os.lite.govern() which actually works
- Verified end-to-end: script runs and produces correct output

The lite module is for developers who just want basic governance
without learning PolicyEvaluator, YAML, OPA/Rego, trust mesh, etc.
Upgrade to the full stack when you need it.

Add comprehensive security checks based on issues found during
the MSRC-111178 security audit and ongoing post-merge reviews:

- Workflow security regression (MSRC-111178 pull_request_target check)
- Expression injection scan (github.event.* in run: blocks)
- Docker security (root containers, wildcard CORS, hardcoded passwords,
  0.0.0.0 bindings)
- XSS and unsafe DOM (innerHTML, eval, yaml.load, shell=True)
- Action SHA pinning compliance
- Version pinning (pyproject.toml upper bounds, Docker :latest tags,
  license field format)
- Dependency confusion with --strict mode (pyproject.toml + package.json)
- Retention days updated to 180 (EU AI Act Art. 26(6))

* feat: add reversibility checker, trust calibration guide, and escalation/reversibility tests (#1061)

Addresses critical review feedback:

1. Rollback/reversibility (agent_os.reversibility)
   - ReversibilityChecker: pre-execution assessment of action reversibility
   - 4 levels: fully_reversible, partially_reversible, irreversible, unknown
   - CompensatingAction: structured undo plans for each action type
   - Built-in rules for 12 common actions (write, deploy, delete, email, etc.)
   - block_irreversible mode for strict environments

2. Trust score calibration guide (docs/security/trust-score-calibration.md)
   - Score component weights (compliance 35%, task 25%, behavior 25%, identity 15%)
   - Decay functions with tier floors
   - Initial score assignments by agent origin
   - Threshold recommendations (conservative/moderate/permissive)
   - Anti-gaming measures and operational playbook

3. Tests: 19 passing (10 escalation + 9 reversibility)

* feat: deployment runtime (Docker/AKS) and shared trust core types (#1062)

agent-runtime: Evolve from thin re-export shim to deployment runtime
- DockerDeployer: container deployment with security hardening
  (cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, read-only rootfs)
- KubernetesDeployer: AKS pod deployment with governance sidecars
  (runAsNonRoot, seccompProfile, resource limits)
- GovernanceConfig: policy/trust/audit config injected as env vars
- DeploymentTarget protocol for extensibility (ADC, nono, etc.)
- 24 tests (all subprocess calls mocked)

agent-mesh: Extract shared trust types into agentmesh.trust_types
- TrustScore, AgentProfile, TrustRecord, TrustTracker
- Canonical implementations replacing ~800 lines of duplicated code
  across 6+ integration packages
- 25 tests covering clamping, scoring, history, capabilities

* feat(rust): add execution rings and lifecycle management to Rust SDK

Add two new modules to the agentmesh Rust crate:

- rings.rs: Four-level execution privilege ring model (Admin/Standard/
  Restricted/Sandboxed) with per-agent assignment and per-ring action
  permissions, ported from the Python hypervisor enforcer.

- lifecycle.rs: Eight-state agent lifecycle manager (Provisioning through
  Decommissioned) with validated state transitions and event history,
  matching the lifecycle model used across other SDK languages.

Both modules include comprehensive unit tests and are re-exported from
the crate root. README updated with API tables and usage examples.

* fix: align lotl_prevention_policy.yaml with PolicyDocument schema

The policy file used an incompatible schema format (id, parameter,
regex_match, effect) instead of the expected PolicyDocument fields
(name, condition.field, operator, action). This caused the
validate-policies CI check to fail for all PRs.

Changes:
- id → name
- condition.parameter → condition.field
- operator: regex_match → operator: matches
- action at rule level (shell_exec/file_read) → action: deny
- effect: DENY → removed (redundant with action: deny)
- Added version, name, description, disclaimer at top level

* fix: resolve .NET ESRP signing issues blocking NuGet publish

GitHub Actions (publish.yml):
- Fix broken if-guards on signing steps: env.ESRP_AAD_ID was set in
  step-level env (invisible to if-expressions). Replace with job-level
  ESRP_CONFIGURED env derived from secrets.
- Add missing ESRP_CERT_IDENTIFIER to signing step env blocks.
- Gate the publish step on ESRP_CONFIGURED so unsigned packages are
  never pushed to NuGet.org under the Microsoft.* prefix.
- Make stub signing steps fail-fast (exit 1) instead of silently
  succeeding, preventing unsigned packages from reaching NuGet push.

ADO Pipeline (esrp-publish.yml):
- Add UseDotNet@2 task to Publish_NuGet stage so dotnet nuget push
  has a guaranteed SDK version on the Windows agent.

* fix(docs): fix OpenClaw sidecar demo and add limitations callout (#1163)

The docker-compose example in openclaw-sidecar.md was illustrative only
and did not work — it referenced a non-existent OpenClaw image and lacked
healthchecks. Users were hitting this and getting confused.

Changes:
- Add working demo at demo/openclaw-governed/ with docker-compose.yaml
  that builds and runs the governance sidecar from source
- Replace the inline docker-compose in the doc with a link to the demo
  plus a clearly-labeled reference template for custom deployments
- Add prominent WARNING callout listing known limitations (no native
  OpenClaw integration, no published images, explicit API required)
- Remove stale orphaned curl snippet after the docker-compose block
- Add healthcheck to docker-compose governance-sidecar service
- Fix OpenClaw image reference from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
  to a placeholder users must replace with their own image

* fix(ci): use PME tenant ID for ESRP cert signing

The ESRP signing cert lives in the PME (Partner Managed Engineering)
tenant (975f013f), not the Microsoft corporate tenant (72f988bf).
Using the wrong tenant ID causes ESRP signing to fail when looking
up the cert.

* docs: add Entra Agent ID bridge tutorial (Tutorial 31) (#10)

* fix(pipeline): run NuGet ESRP signing on Windows agent (#1022)

The EsrpCodeSigning@5 task constructs internal paths (batchSignPolicyFile,
ciPolicyFile) using Windows-style backslashes. Running on ubuntu-latest

Changes:
- Add per-job pool override: PublishNuGet runs on windows-latest
- Convert FolderPath and all shell commands to Windows paths
- Replace bash scripts with PowerShell for the Windows agent
- PyPI and npm stages remain on ubuntu-latest (unchanged)

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging - use workspace root with -p agentmesh (#959)

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's
target/package/, not the individual crate's directory. The pipeline was
running from the crate subdirectory and couldn't find the output.

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh
to packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust (workspace root) and add -p agentmesh
to all cargo commands to target the specific crate.

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

Upgraded in 3 packages:
- extensions/copilot: 1.14.0 → 1.15.0
- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

- Update SOC2 mapping to reflect CredentialRedactor now redacts
  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* feat: add AGT Lite — zero-config governance in 3 lines, fix broken quickstart (#1044)

Addresses the #1 developer experience criticism: AGT is too complex to start.

New: agent_os.lite — lightweight governance module
- govern() factory: one line to create a governance gate
- check(action): one line to enforce — raises GovernanceViolation or returns True
- check.is_allowed(action): non-raising bool version
- Allow lists, deny lists, regex patterns, content filtering, rate limiting
- Built-in audit trail and stats
- Sub-millisecond evaluation (0.003ms avg, 1000 evals in <100ms)
- Zero dependencies beyond stdlib (re, time, datetime)
- 16 tests passing

Fix: govern_in_60_seconds.py quickstart
- BROKEN: was calling PolicyEvaluator.add_rules() which does not exist
- FIXED: now uses agent_os.lite.govern() which actually works
- Verified end-to-end: script runs and produces correct output

The lite module is for developers who just want basic governance
without learning PolicyEvaluator, YAML, OPA/Rego, trust mesh, etc.
Upgrade to the full stack when you need it.

* feat(ci): enhance weekly security audit with 7 new scan jobs (#1051)

Add comprehensive security checks based on issues found during
the MSRC-111178 security audit and ongoing post-merge reviews:

- Workflow security regression (MSRC-111178 pull_request_target check)
- Expression injection scan (github.event.* in run: blocks)
- Docker security (root containers, wildcard CORS, hardcoded passwords,
  0.0.0.0 bindings)
- XSS and unsafe DOM (innerHTML, eval, yaml.load, shell=True)
- Action SHA pinning compliance
- Version pinning (pyproject.toml upper bounds, Docker :latest tags,
  license field format)
- Dependency confusion with --strict mode (pyproject.toml + package.json)
- Retention days updated to 180 (EU AI Act Art. 26(6))

* feat: add reversibility checker, trust calibration guide, and escalation/reversibility tests (#1061)

Addresses critical review feedback:

1. Rollback/reversibility (agent_os.reversibility)
   - ReversibilityChecker: pre-execution assessment of action reversibility
   - 4 levels: fully_reversible, partially_reversible, irreversible, unknown
   - CompensatingAction: structured undo plans for each action type
   - Built-in rules for 12 common actions (write, deploy, delete, email, etc.)
   - block_irreversible mode for strict environments

2. Trust score calibration guide (docs/security/trust-score-calibration.md)
   - Score component weights (compliance 35%, task 25%, behavior 25%, identity 15%)
   - Decay functions with tier floors
   - Initial score assignments by agent origin
   - Threshold recommendations (conservative/moderate/permissive)
   - Anti-gaming measures and operational playbook

3. Tests: 19 passing (10 escalation + 9 reversibility)

* fix: align lotl_prevention_policy.yaml with PolicyDocument schema

The policy file used an incompatible schema format (id, parameter,
regex_match, effect) instead of the expected PolicyDocument fields
(name, condition.field, operator, action). This caused the
validate-policies CI check to fail for all PRs.

Changes:
- id → name
- condition.parameter → condition.field
- operator: regex_match → operator: matches
- action at rule level (shell_exec/file_read) → action: deny
- effect: DENY → removed (redundant with action: deny)
- Added version, name, description, disclaimer at top level

* fix: resolve .NET ESRP signing issues blocking NuGet publish

GitHub Actions (publish.yml):
- Fix broken if-guards on signing steps: env.ESRP_AAD_ID was set in
  step-level env (invisible to if-expressions). Replace with job-level
  ESRP_CONFIGURED env derived from secrets.
- Add missing ESRP_CERT_IDENTIFIER to signing step env blocks.
- Gate the publish step on ESRP_CONFIGURED so unsigned packages are
  never pushed to NuGet.org under the Microsoft.* prefix.
- Make stub signing steps fail-fast (exit 1) instead of silently
  succeeding, preventing unsigned packages from reaching NuGet push.

ADO Pipeline (esrp-publish.yml):
- Add UseDotNet@2 task to Publish_NuGet stage so dotnet nuget push
  has a guaranteed SDK version on the Windows agent.

Changes:
- Add working demo at demo/openclaw-governed/ with docker-compose.yaml
  that builds and runs the governance sidecar from source
- Replace the inline docker-compose in the doc with a link to the demo
  plus a clearly-labeled reference template for custom deployments
- Add prominent WARNING callout listing known limitations (no native
  OpenClaw integration, no published images, explicit API required)
- Remove stale orphaned curl snippet after the docker-compose block
- Add healthcheck to docker-compose governance-sidecar service
- Fix OpenClaw image reference from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
  to a placeholder users must replace with their own image

* docs: address external critic gaps in limitations and threat model (#11)

Add three new sections to LIMITATIONS.md addressing gaps identified in
public criticism and external security analysis:

- §10 Physical AI and Embodied Agent Governance: documents that AGT
  governs software agents not physical actuators, with mitigations
- §11 Streaming Data and Real-Time Assurance: documents that AGT
  evaluates per-action not continuously over data streams
- §12 DID Method Inconsistency Across SDKs: documents the did:mesh
  vs did:agentmesh split with migration plan for v4.0

Update THREAT_MODEL.md residual risks to reference all three new
limitation sections.

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs (#12)

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs

BREAKING CHANGE: All agent DIDs now use the did:agentmesh: prefix.
The legacy did:mesh: prefix used by Python and .NET has been migrated
to match the did:agentmesh: convention already used by TypeScript,
Rust, and Go SDKs.

Changes:
- Python: agent_id.py, delegation.py, entra.py, all integrations
- .NET: AgentIdentity.cs, Jwk.cs, GovernanceKernel.cs, all tests
- Docs: README, tutorials, identity docs, FAQ, compliance docs
- Tests: all test fixtures updated across Python, .NET, TS, VSCode
- Version bump: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0 (.NET, Python agent-mesh, TypeScript)

Migration: replace did:mesh: with did:agentmesh: in your policies,
identity registries, and agent configurations.

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned (#958)

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging - use workspace root with -p agentmesh (#959)

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's
target/package/, not the individual crate's directory. The pipeline was
running from the crate subdirectory and couldn't find the output.

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh
to packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust (workspace root) and add -p agentmesh
to all cargo commands to target the specific crate.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): correct ESRP NuGet contenttype casing (#962)

* fix(ci): add missing packages to ESRP pipeline and fix Go version tag

Three gaps found during publish verification:

1. PyPI: add agentmesh-marketplace (8th package, was missing from matrix)
2. Rust: build+publish both workspace crates (agentmesh + agentmesh-mcp)
   - Changed from single-crate to workspace build (--workspace)
   - Package loop builds both .crate files
   - Renamed artifact from 'rust-agentmesh' to 'rust-crates'
3. Go: add 'v' prefix to version in doc.go (3.1.0 → v3.1.0)
   - Go module tags require semver with v prefix
   - Pipeline grep expects '// Version: v...' format

Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

* fix(ci): correct ESRP NuGet contenttype casing — 'NuGet' not 'Nuget'

ESRP Release rejected 'Nuget' with: 'The value provided for
ReleaseContentType property is invalid.' ErrorCode 2254.

ESRP content types are case-sensitive. Fix: 'Nuget' -> 'NuGet'.

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by
azure-sdk, dotnet runtime, and other Microsoft OSS projects.

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

Upgraded in 3 packages:
- extensions/copilot: 1.14.0 → 1.15.0
- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

- Update SOC2 mapping to reflect CredentialRedactor now redacts
  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* feat: add AGT Lite — zero-config governance in 3 lines, fix broken quickstart (#1044)

Addresses the #1 developer experience criticism: AGT is too complex to start.

New: agent_os.lite — lightweight governance module
- govern() factory: one line to create a governance gate
- check(action): one line to enforce — raises GovernanceViolation or returns True
- check.is_allowed(action): non-raising bool version
- Allow lists, deny lists, regex patterns, content filtering, rate limiting
- Built-in audit trail and stats
- Sub-millisecond evaluation (0.003ms avg, 1000 evals in <100ms)
- Zero dependencies beyond stdlib (re, time, datetime)
- 16 tests passing

Fix: govern_in_60_seconds.py quickstart
- BROKEN: was calling PolicyEvaluator.add_rules() which does not exist
- FIXED: now uses agent_os.lite.govern() which actually works
- Verified end-to-end: script runs and produces correct output

The lite module is for developers who just want basic governance
without learning PolicyEvaluator, YAML, OPA/Rego, trust mesh, etc.
Upgrade to the full stack when you need it.

- Docker security (root containers, wildcard CORS, hardcoded passwords,
  0.0.0.0 bindings)
- XSS and unsafe DOM (innerHTML, eval, yaml.load, shell=True)
- Action SHA pinning compliance
- Version pinning (pyproject.toml upper bounds, Docker :latest tags,
  license field format)
- Dependency confusion with --strict mode (pyproject.toml + package.json)
- Retention days updated to 180 (EU AI Act Art. 26(6))

* feat: add reversibility checker, trust calibration guide, and escalation/reversibility tests (#1061)

Addresses critical review feedback:

1. Rollback/reversibility (agent_os.reversibility)
   - ReversibilityChecker: pre-execution assessment of action reversibility
   - 4 levels: fully_reversible, partially_reversible, irreversible, unknown
   - CompensatingAction: structured undo plans for each action type
   - Built-in rules for 12 common actions (write, deploy, delete, email, etc.)
   - block_irreversible mode for strict environments

2. Trust score calibration guide (docs/security/trust-score-calibration.md)
   - Score component weights (compliance 35%, task 25%, behavior 25%, identity 15%)
   - Decay functions with tier floors
   - Initial score assignments by agent origin
   - Threshold recommendations (conservative/moderate/permissive)
   - Anti-gaming measures and operational playbook

3. Tests: 19 passing (10 escalation + 9 reversibility)

  permissions, ported from the Python hypervisor enforcer.

- lifecycle.rs: Eight-state agent lifecycle manager (Provisioning through
  Decommissioned) with validated state transitions and event history,
  matching the lifecycle model used across other SDK languages.

Both modules include comprehensive unit tests and are re-exported from
the crate root. README updated with API tables and usage examples.

* fix: align lotl_prevention_policy.yaml with PolicyDocument schema

The policy file used an incompatible schema format (id, parameter,
regex_match, effect) instead of the expected PolicyDocument fields
(name, condition.field, operator, action). This caused the
validate-policies CI check to fail for all PRs.

Changes:
- id → name
- condition.parameter → condition.field
- operator: regex_match → operator: matches
- action at rule level (shell_exec/file_read) → action: deny
- effect: DENY → removed (redundant with action: deny)
- Added version, name, description, disclaimer at top level

* fix: resolve .NET ESRP signing issues blocking NuGet publish

GitHub Actions (publish.yml):
- Fix broken if-guards on signing steps: env.ESRP_AAD_ID was set in
  step-level env (invisible to if-expressions). Replace with job-level
  ESRP_CONFIGURED env derived from secrets.
- Add missing ESRP_CERT_IDENTIFIER to signing step env blocks.
- Gate the publish step on ESRP_CONFIGURED so unsigned packages are
  never pushed to NuGet.org under the Microsoft.* prefix.
- Make stub signing steps fail-fast (exit 1) instead of silently
  succeeding, preventing unsigned packages from reaching NuGet push.

ADO Pipeline (esrp-publish.yml):
- Add UseDotNet@2 task to Publish_NuGet stage so dotnet nuget push
  has a guaranteed SDK version on the Windows agent.

- Add prominent WARNING callout listing known limitations (no native
  OpenClaw integration, no published images, explicit API required)
- Remove stale orphaned curl snippet after the docker-compose block
- Add healthcheck to docker-compose governance-sidecar service
- Fix OpenClaw image reference from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest

Add three new sections to LIMITATIONS.md addressing gaps identified in
public criticism and external security analysis:

- §10 Physical AI and Embodied Agent Governance: documents that AGT
  governs software agents not physical actuators, with mitigations
- §11 Streaming Data and Real-Time Assurance: documents that AGT
  evaluates per-action not continuously over data streams
- §12 DID Method Inconsistency Across SDKs: documents the did:mesh
  vs did:agentmesh split with migration plan for v4.0

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs (#12)

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs

BREAKING CHANGE: All agent DIDs now use the did:agentmesh: prefix.
The legacy did:mesh: prefix used by Python and .NET has been migrated
to match the did:agentmesh: convention already used by TypeScript,
Rust, and Go SDKs.

Changes:
- Python: agent_id.py, delegation.py, entra.py, all integrations
- .NET: AgentIdentity.cs, Jwk.cs, GovernanceKernel.cs, all tests
- Docs: README, tutorials, identity docs, FAQ, compliance docs
- Tests: all test fixtures updated across Python, .NET, TS, VSCode
- Version bump: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0 (.NET, Python agent-mesh, TypeScript)

Migration: replace did:mesh: with did:agentmesh: in your policies,
identity registries, and agent configurations.

* feat: add AgentMesh component container images and GHCR publishing

Add FastAPI server entrypoints for all four AgentMesh components:
- trust-engine (port 8443): Agent identity verification, IATP handshakes
- policy-server (port 8444): Governance policy evaluation from YAML/JSON
- audit-collector (port 8445): Merkle-chained audit logging with persistence
- api-gateway (port 8446): Reverse proxy with per-agent rate limiting

Infrastructure:
- Single Dockerfile with COMPONENT build arg (non-root, tini, health checks)
- GitHub Actions workflow for GHCR publishing (multi-arch amd64/arm64)
- Helm chart updated to reference ghcr.io/microsoft/agentmesh/* images
- 28 integration tests covering all server endpoints

Resolves the missing container images that blocked full AgentMesh cluster
deployment (images were referenced in Helm chart but never built).

  with handoff_success_count tracking (kill_switch.py:69-178)
- DeltaEngine verify_chain() is no longer a stub: now performs SHA-256
  chain verification (delta.py:67-127)
- Move both from Critical/High gaps to new 'Resolved' section
- Update Processing Integrity coverage (2 of 4 defects, not 3 of 4)
- Update evidence table with current line ranges

* feat(dotnet): add MCP security namespace with scanner, gateway, redactor, and sanitizer

Add AgentGovernance.Mcp namespace implementing full MCP security parity with
TypeScript and Rust SDKs:

- McpSecurityScanner: tool poisoning, typosquatting, hidden instructions,
  rug pull, schema abuse, cross-server attack, and description injection detection
- McpCredentialRedactor: regex-based redaction of API keys, bearer tokens,
  connection strings, and secret assignments
- McpResponseSanitizer: response scanning for prompt injection tags,
  imperative phrasing, credential leakage, and exfiltration URLs
- McpGateway: policy enforcement pipeline with deny/allow lists, payload
  sanitization, rate limiting, and human approval gates

Includes 46 xUnit tests covering all threat categories. Updates
SDK-FEATURE-MATRIX.md to flip .NET MCP Security from — to ✅.

* docs: add Entra Agent ID bridge tutorial (Tutorial 31) (#10)

* fix(pipeline): run NuGet ESRP signing on Windows agent (#1022)

The EsrpCodeSigning@5 task constructs internal paths (batchSignPolicyFile,
ciPolicyFile) using Windows-style backslashes. Running on ubuntu-latest
produced garbled mixed paths like '/home/vsts/work/1/s/src\myapp\'.

Changes:
- Add per-job pool override: PublishNuGet runs on windows-latest
- Convert FolderPath and all shell commands to Windows paths
- Replace bash scripts with PowerShell for the Windows agent
- PyPI and npm stages remain on ubuntu-latest (unchanged)
- Add comment to delete orphaned ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID ADO variable

* docs: update SDK feature matrix after parity pass (#950)

Reflects new capabilities added in PRs #947 (TS), .NET, Rust, Go:
- TypeScript: MCP security scanner + lifecycle management (was 5/14, now 7/14)
- .NET: Kill switch + lifecycle management (was 8/14, now 10/14)
- Rust: Execution rings + lifecycle management (was 6/14, now 8/14)
- Go: MCP security + rings + lifecycle (was 4/14, now 7/14)

All SDKs now have lifecycle management. Core governance (policy, identity,
trust, audit) + lifecycle = 5 primitives shared across all 5 languages.

* docs: add LIMITATIONS.md - honest design boundaries and layered defense (#953)

Addresses valid external critique of AGT's architectural blind spots:

1. Action vs Intent: AGT governs individual actions, not reasoning or
   action sequences. Documents the compound-action gap explicitly and
   recommends content policies + model safety layers.

2. Audit logs record attempts, not outcomes: Documents that post-action
   state verification is the user's responsibility today, with hooks planned.

3. Performance honesty: README now notes that <0.1ms is policy-eval only;
   distributed mesh adds 5-50ms. Full breakdown in LIMITATIONS.md.

4. Complexity spectrum: Documents the minimal path (just PolicyEvaluator,
   no mesh/crypto) vs full enterprise stack.

5. Vendor independence: Documents zero cloud dependencies in core,
   standard formats for all state, migration path.

6. Recommended layered defense architecture diagram showing AGT as one
   layer alongside model safety, application logic, and infrastructure.

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging - use workspace root with -p agentmesh (#959)

* fix(openclaw): critical honesty pass — document what works vs what's planned

Server (__main__.py):
- Add --host/--port argparse + env var support (was hardcoded 127.0.0.1:8080)

Dockerfile.sidecar:
- Copy modules/ directory (was missing, causing build failure)
- Use 0.0.0.0 for container binding (127.0.0.1 is wrong inside containers)
- Remove phantom port 9091 (no separate metrics listener exists)

openclaw-sidecar.md — full honesty rewrite:
- Add status banner: transparent interception is NOT yet implemented
- Document actual sidecar API endpoints (health, detect/injection, execute, metrics)
- Fix Docker Compose to use Dockerfile.sidecar (was using wrong Dockerfile)
- Remove GOVERNANCE_PROXY claim (OpenClaw doesn't natively read this)
- Replace fictional SLO/Grafana sections with real /api/v1/metrics docs
- Add Roadmap section listing what's planned vs shipped

openshell.md:
- Remove references to non-existent shell scripts
- Fix python -m agentmesh.server to python -m agent_os.server
- Add note that sidecar doesn't transparently intercept (must call API)
- Replace pip install agentmesh-platform with Python skill library usage

* fix(ci): fix Rust crate packaging — use workspace root with -p agentmesh

cargo package in a workspace writes .crate files to the workspace root's
target/package/, not the individual crate's directory. The pipeline was
running from the crate subdirectory and couldn't find the output.

Fix: change workingDirectory from packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust/agentmesh
to packages/agent-mesh/sdks/rust (workspace root) and add -p agentmesh
to all cargo commands to target the specific crate.

Three gaps found during publish verification:

1. PyPI: add agentmesh-marketplace (8th package, was missing from matrix)
2. Rust: build+publish both workspace crates (agentmesh + agentmesh-mcp)
   - Changed from single-crate to workspace build (--workspace)
   - Package loop builds both .crate files
   - Renamed artifact from 'rust-agentmesh' to 'rust-crates'
3. Go: add 'v' prefix to version in doc.go (3.1.0 → v3.1.0)
   - Go module tags require semver with v prefix
   - Pipeline grep expects '// Version: v...' format

* fix(ci): use EsrpCodeSigning + dotnet push for NuGet (#965)

EsrpRelease@11 does not support NuGet as a contenttype — it's for
PyPI/npm/Maven/crates.io package distribution. NuGet packages must be
signed with EsrpCodeSigning@5 first, then pushed with dotnet nuget push.

New flow:
1. EsrpCodeSigning@5 with NuGetSign + NuGetVerify operations (CP-401405)
2. dotnet nuget push with the signed .nupkg to nuget.org

This matches the standard Microsoft NuGet ESRP signing pattern used by
azure-sdk, dotnet runtime, and other Microsoft OSS projects.

* fix(security): upgrade axios to 1.15.0 - CVE-2026-40175, CVE-2025-62718 (#966)

Critical S360 action items for SFI-ES5.2 1ES Open Source Vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40175 (CVSS 9.9): Unrestricted Cloud Metadata Exfiltration
via Header Injection Chain — prototype pollution gadget enables CRLF
injection in HTTP headers, bypassing AWS IMDSv2 session tokens.

CVE-2025-62718: NO_PROXY Bypass via Hostname Normalization — trailing
dots and IPv6 literals skip NO_PROXY matching, enabling SSRF through
attacker-controlled proxy.

Upgraded in 3 packages:
- extensions/copilot: 1.14.0 → 1.15.0
- extensions/cursor:  1.13.5 → 1.15.0
- agent-os-vscode:    1.13.6 → 1.15.0

* fix(ci): resolve ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID cyclical reference (#967)

The ADO variable ESRP_DOMAIN_TENANT_ID had a cyclical self-reference,
preventing ESRP authentication across ALL publishing stages (PyPI, npm,
NuGet, crates.io).

Fix: Define MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID as a pipeline-level variable with the
well-known Microsoft corporate tenant ID (72f988bf-..., same default
used by ESRP Release action.yml). This is a public value, not a secret.

Also: NuGet publishing requires Microsoft as co-owner of the package
on NuGet.org. See https://aka.ms/Microsoft-NuGet-Compliance

* docs: sync audit redaction status and framing with current code

- Update SOC2 mapping to reflect CredentialRedactor now redacts
  credential-like secrets before audit persistence (API keys, tokens,
  JWTs, connection strings, etc.). Remaining gap: non-credential PII
  (email, phone, addresses) not yet redacted in audit entries.
- Replace 'kernel-level enforcement' with 'policy-layer enforcement'
  in README, OWASP compliance, and architecture overview to match the
  existing 'application-level governance' framing in README Security
  section and LIMITATIONS.md.
- Qualify 10/10 OWASP coverage claim in COMPARISON.md with footnote
  clarifying this means mitigation components exist per risk category,
  not full elimination.
- Update owasp-llm-top10-mapping.md LLM06 row for credential redaction.

Addresses doc/code inconsistencies identified in external review.

* feat: add AGT Lite — zero-config governance in 3 lines, fix broken quickstart (#1044)

Addresses the #1 developer experience criticism: AGT is too complex to start.

New: agent_os.lite — lightweight governance module
- govern() factory: one line to create a governance gate
- check(action): one line to enforce — raises GovernanceViolation or returns True
- check.is_allowed(action): non-raising bool version
- Allow lists, deny lists, regex patterns, content filtering, rate limiting
- Built-in audit trail and stats
- Sub-millisecond evaluation (0.003ms avg, 1000 evals in <100ms)
- Zero dependencies beyond stdlib (re, time, datetime)
- 16 tests passing

Fix: govern_in_60_seconds.py quickstart
- BROKEN: was calling PolicyEvaluator.add_rules() which does not exist
- FIXED: now uses agent_os.lite.govern() which actually works
- Verified end-to-end: script runs and produces correct output

The lite module is for developers who just want basic governance
without learning PolicyEvaluator, YAML, OPA/Rego, trust mesh, etc.
Upgrade to the full stack when you need it.

   - 4 levels: fully_reversible, partially_reversible, irreversible, unknown
   - CompensatingAction: structured undo plans for each action type
   - Built-in rules for 12 common actions (write, deploy, delete, email, etc.)
   - block_irreversible mode for strict environments

2. Trust score calibration guide (docs/security/trust-score-calibration.md)
   - Score component weights (compliance 35%, task 25%, behavior 25%, identity 15%)
   - Decay functions with tier floors
   - Initial score assignments by agent origin
   - Threshold recommendations (conservative/moderate/permissive)
   - Anti-gaming measures and operational playbook

3. Tests: 19 passing (10 escalation + 9 reversibility)

* fix: align lotl_prevention_policy.yaml with PolicyDocument schema

The policy file used an incompatible schema format (id, parameter,
regex_match, effect) instead of the expected PolicyDocument fields
(name, condition.field, operator, action). This caused the
validate-policies CI check to fail for all PRs.

Changes:
- id → name
- condition.parameter → condition.field
- operator: regex_match → operator: matches
- action at rule level (shell_exec/file_read) → action: deny
- effect: DENY → removed (redundant with action: deny)
- Added version, name, description, disclaimer at top level

  ESRP_CONFIGURED env derived from secrets.
- Add missing ESRP_CERT_IDENTIFIER to signing step env blocks.
- Gate the publish step on ESRP_CONFIGURED so unsigned packages are
  never pushed to NuGet.org under the Microsoft.* prefix.
- Make stub signing steps fail-fast (exit 1) instead of silently
  succeeding, preventing unsigned packages from reaching NuGet push.

ADO Pipeline (esrp-publish.yml):
- Add UseDotNet@2 task to Publish_NuGet stage so dotnet nuget push
  has a guaranteed SDK version on the Windows agent.

* fix(docs): fix OpenClaw sidecar demo and add limitations callout (#1163)

The docker-compose example in openclaw-sidecar.md was illustrative only
and did not work — it referenced a non-existent OpenClaw image and lacked
healthchecks. Users were hitting this and getting confused.

Changes:
- Add working demo at demo/openclaw-governed/ with docker-compose.yaml
  that builds and runs the governance sidecar from source
- Replace the inline docker-compose in the doc with a link to the demo
  plus a clearly-labeled reference template for custom deployments
- Add prominent WARNING callout listing known limitations (no native
  OpenClaw integration, no published images, explicit API required)
- Remove stale orphaned curl snippet after the docker-compose block
- Add healthcheck to docker-compose governance-sidecar service
- Fix OpenClaw image reference from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
  to a placeholder users must replace with their own image

* fix(ci): use PME tenant ID for ESRP cert signing

The ESRP signing cert lives in the PME (Partner Managed Engineering)
tenant (975f013f), not the Microsoft corporate tenant (72f988bf).
Using the wrong tenant ID causes ESRP signing to fail when looking
up the cert.

* docs: address external critic gaps in limitations and threat model (#11)

Add three new sections to LIMITATIONS.md addressing gaps identified in
public criticism and external security analysis:

- §10 Physical AI and Embodied Agent Governance: documents that AGT
  governs software agents not physical actuators, with mitigations
- §11 Streaming Data and Real-Time Assurance: documents that AGT
  evaluates per-action not continuously over data streams
- §12 DID Method Inconsistency Across SDKs: documents the did:mesh
  vs did:agentmesh split with migration plan for v4.0

Update THREAT_MODEL.md residual risks to reference all three new
limitation sections.

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs (#12)

* fix!: standardize DID method to did:agentmesh across all SDKs

BREAKING CHANGE: All agent DIDs now use the did:agentmesh: prefix.
The legacy did:mesh: prefix used by Python and .NET has been migrated
to match the did:agentmesh: convention already used by TypeScript,
Rust, and Go SDKs.

Changes:
- Python: agent_id.py, delegation.py, entra.py, all integrations
- .NET: AgentIdentity.cs, Jwk.cs, GovernanceKernel.cs, all tests
- Docs: README, tutorials, identity docs, FAQ, compliance docs
- Tests: all test fixtures updated across Python, .NET, TS, VSCode
- Version bump: 3.1.0 → 3.2.0 (.NET, Python agent-mesh, TypeScript)

Migration: replace did:mesh: with did:agentmesh: in your policies,
identity registries, and agent configurations.

* docs: add Q11-Q13 to FAQ — AGT scope, Agent 365, and DLP comparison

Adds three new customer Q&As:
- Q11: Is AGT for Foundry agents or any agent type? (any)
- Q12: Relationship between AGT and Agent 365 (different layers)
- Q13: How is AGT different from DLP/communication compliance
  (content vs action governance)
