Description

Aligns the practice-review and mentor runtimes with Pi 0.84.3 so both select the server-configured model explicitly and mentor turns complete only after Pi has exhausted retries, compaction retries, and queued continuations. It also adds a repository gate that keeps the Pi image, TypeScript dependency, live-test fixtures, and Bun architecture hashes in sync.

What changed

  • migrate provider registration to Pi's ModelRuntime API and validate the model metadata Pi requires;
  • pass the selected model explicitly to practice reviews and mentor sessions;
  • hold attempt-level agent_end events until agent_settled, preserving only the final attempt and its persisted session;
  • fail fast when a production mentor prompt or provider configuration is missing;
  • update Pi from 0.74.1 to 0.84.3 and add Renovate-aware runtime-pin validation;
  • make practice-area fanout deterministic and reject invalid batch sizes instead of risking a non-terminating review;
  • fork each practice observer from a persisted group reconnaissance checkpoint, then compose all admitted observations in one feedback session;
  • fail closed when any selected practice remains unobserved after recovery, rather than composing a partial review;
  • give new review assignments a one-hour budget by default and scale Pi concurrency with the selected practice count, with a hard ceiling of eight;
  • ground every feedback unit in a current admitted observation and bind supersession to the exact queued thread, lane, and practice;
  • remove comments that described historical workarounds instead of durable contracts.

Compatibility and limitations

  • No operator action, API change, database migration, or UI change is required.
  • Bun remains on 1.4.0: a 1.4.1 release is not available in Bun's published releases, so this PR does not invent an unverifiable pin. Future Bun bumps are tracked by Renovate, while the checked SHA-256 values remain a required manual verification step.
  • Credentialed live tests are intentionally not part of CI. The deterministic protocol suite covers retry settlement and thread isolation without calling or writing to an external repository.

Pi lifecycle behavior is based on the upstream agent_end/agent_settled RPC contract and extension lifecycle documentation.

How to test

  1. Run the repository's local CI mirror:
    pnpm run format
    pnpm run check
  2. Run the server unit suite with the non-skipping Maven profile:
    cd server
    ./mvnw test -P'!quick' -Dsurefire.includedGroups=unit -T 2C --batch-mode -q
  3. Verify the focused agent behavior and runtime pins:
    pnpm run test:agents
    pnpm run check:agent-runtime-pins

Expected result: all 86 agent tests pass, including the regression that rejects an intermediate retry result and forwards the final attempt only after settlement.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR upgrades the Pi SDK, validates runtime pins, registers the configured model through ModelRuntime, delays mentor completion until settlement, parallelizes practice reviews with isolated sessions, reallocates turn budgets, validates current-run feedback evidence, and applies region-specific sandbox ownership and permissions. Agent binding defaults now use a one-hour timeout.

Changes

Agent runtime and practice review

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime pin validation
docker/agents/pi/Dockerfile, package.json, scripts/check-agent-runtime-pins.ts, server/src/test/java/.../live/*
Pi version pins, Bun hashes, and Renovate markers are validated across Docker, package, and live-test configuration.
Configured model registration
server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-provider.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-mentor-runner.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-runner.ts
Both runners create ModelRuntime, validate provider configuration, register the Hephaestus model, and pass the resolved model to sessions.
Settlement-based mentor completion
server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-mentor-runner.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-mentor-protocol.ts, server/src/test/resources/agent/pi-mentor-runner.spec.ts, server/src/test/java/.../mentor/live/*, .changeset/quiet-pandas-review.md
Mentor runs persist and emit terminal events after agent_settled. Retry, abort, prompt-failure, and watchdog paths emit non-retrying terminal events when required.
Review planning and session fanout
server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-review-tree.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-session-tree.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-runner.ts, server/src/main/java/.../PracticeRunnerProfile.java, server/src/test/resources/agent/pi-review-tree.spec.ts, server/src/test/resources/agent/pi-session-tree.spec.ts
Practices are grouped by evidence lane and evaluated through bounded concurrent workers. Sessions fork into isolated per-practice sessions.
Turn budgets and retries
server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-runner-timings.ts, server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-runner.ts, server/src/test/resources/agent/pi-runner-timings.spec.ts, .changeset/fair-practice-budgets.md
Review budgets allocate remaining retry time. Each turn receives a fair-share duration and soft nudge. Missing practices retry within the remaining budget.
Current-run feedback validation
server/src/main/resources/agent/pi-runner-composition.ts, server/src/main/java/.../FeedbackCompositionResultParser.java, server/src/main/resources/agent/feedback-composer.md, related composition tests
Feedback uses structured prepared targets and admitted observation IDs. SUPERSEDE validation matches the complete target identity.

Sandbox and agent defaults

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace archive ownership and modes
server/src/main/java/.../SandboxLayout.java, server/src/main/java/.../SandboxWorkspaceManager.java, server/src/test/java/.../SandboxWorkspaceManagerTest.java
Archive entries now use writable UID/GID and modes in workspace regions, root-owned read-only modes elsewhere, and ancestor directories for all input paths.
One-hour agent binding defaults
server/src/main/java/.../WorkspaceAgentBinding.java, webapp/src/components/admin/ai/AgentBindingsPage.tsx, webapp/src/routes/.../-models-route.test.tsx, server/src/main/resources/db/changelog/1787788661301_changelog.xml, server/src/main/resources/db/master.xml, .changeset/long-reviews-finish.md
New agent bindings and cleared purpose assignments default to 3600 seconds. The database default is migrated and rollback support is added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~75 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 551a0

This PR still has a potential secret-disclosure path in provider error logging and a sandbox path-handling issue that can make read-only inputs writable; both should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Docker Engine archive extraction tar entry path containing .. copyArchiveToContainer archive.Unpack behavior

💡 Result:

The behavior of Docker Engine's archive extraction during operations like docker cp (which utilizes the underlying archive.Unpack functionality in the moby/go-archive library) has historically been vulnerable to path traversal and symlink-based escapes, most notably identified as CVE-2026-17106 [1][2]. The core issue lies in how the extractor validates paths. The routines, including Unpack, UnpackLayer, and Untar, traditionally relied on lexical string checks to determine if an archive entry's path was confined to a destination directory [3][4]. Because these lexical checks only verify the string path before the filesystem operation occurs, they fail to account for symbolic links present on the disk or created earlier within the same malicious archive [4][2]. When the extractor subsequently performs filesystem operations (such as opening or creating files), the operating system resolves these symlinks, allowing the extraction process to follow a link and write files outside the intended destination directory [3][2]. Consequently, an attacker who controls the contents of an archive can include a symlink entry that resolves outside the destination, followed by a child entry that is then written to an arbitrary path on the host system that the extracting process has permission to access [4][2]. This vulnerability affects various components in the Docker ecosystem, including the Docker CLI, Docker Engine, Docker Compose, and Docker Desktop [1][5]. Security best practices for archive extraction require preventing path traversal at the kernel level rather than relying on string-based validation [6][7]. Modern implementations are moving toward using symlink-safe filesystem primitives—such as openat2 with RESOLVE_BENEATH—which ensure that the kernel refuses to follow links that escape the opened root directory [2][8]. Similar issues involving race conditions in mount setup during docker cp have also been addressed by scoping filesystem operations to the container root using tools that prevent symlink following outside the restricted directory [8]. Users are advised to upgrade to patched versions of the Docker ecosystem (e.g., Docker Engine >= 29.7.0) to mitigate these risks [5].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/moby/go-archive archive.go Untar filepath.Join destination tar header name .. MkdirAll

💡 Result:

Extracting tar archives in Go requires explicit security measures to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities, where a malicious archive could write files outside the intended destination directory [1]. Simply joining a base directory with the file path from a tar header using filepath.Join is insufficient and unsafe because it does not account for directory traversal sequences (like "..") or symbolic links within the archive [1][2]. To securely extract tar archives, follow these best practices: 1. Reject Malicious Paths: Normalize the entry name using path.Clean and explicitly reject any paths that contain ".." or are absolute [3]. In Go, use filepath.IsLocal to verify that the path is not absolute and does not traverse outside the base directory [3]. 2. Use Kernel-Enforced Bounding (e.g., os.Root): The most robust approach, utilized by modern secure extraction libraries, is to perform filesystem operations relative to a base directory using os.Root (available in newer Go versions or specific containment libraries) [4][5]. This leverages openat(2) system calls to ensure the kernel enforces that all file operations remain within the root directory, regardless of symbolic links or path sequences [4][5]. 3. Resolve Symbolic Links Safely: When encountering symbolic links, do not simply create them as specified in the tar header. You must resolve the target path relative to your root directory to ensure it does not point outside the intended containment area [4][2]. Utilities like fs.RootPath (often ported from containerd/continuity) are used to walk paths component-by-component, resolving symlinks and ensuring each step stays within the sandbox [4][2]. 4. Distinguish POSIX and Native Paths: Tar header names are defined as POSIX (using forward slashes). Always treat them as such when processing and converting to native paths using filepath.FromSlash only at the final filesystem boundary [4][3]. If you are building an extraction tool, avoid re-inventing these security checks. Rely on hardened libraries like moby/go-archive or containerd/continuity, which have been specifically audited to address these common breakout vectors [1][4].

Validate paths before deriving archive directories.

writeInputTar passes raw keys to ancestorDirs before validatePath normalizes file entries. A key such as work/../inputs/context/diff.patch produces a writable work/../inputs/ entry because it matches WORK_PREFIX. Docker's tar extraction can normalize this to /workspace/inputs and apply the writable metadata. Reject raw .. components before generating ancestor entries.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cancel the active stub attempt after abort().

abort() emits agent_end and agent_settled, but the active prompt() continues after its timer completes. It then emits message_update, agent_end, and agent_settled again.

Track an attempt generation or cancellation flag. Check it after each awaited delay before emitting more events.

the observer try or handling its rejection locally, ensuring other practices
continue running.
- Around line 1786-1791: Update the observer prompt construction in the prompt
call to choose its opening context text based on task.sessionFile: retain the
shared group reconnaissance wording when a session file exists, and use fallback
wording that does not claim prior reconnaissance for in-memory sessions. Keep
the practice-specific evaluation and report_observation instructions unchanged.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Select the fallback prompt from task.sessionFile.

When reconnaissance fails, task.sessionFile is absent and the observer uses SessionManager.inMemory(). The changed prompt still says that shared reconnaissance exists. The observer can then omit required evidence collection.

Proposed fix
+			const reconnaissanceLead = task.sessionFile
+				? `Continue from the shared '${task.groupId}' reconnaissance above. `
+				: `No shared reconnaissance is available. Gather the required evidence yourself. `;

Rename the changed test methods.

The enclosing test methods do not use the required should[ExpectedBehavior]When[Condition] pattern. Rename each changed test method to that pattern.

As per coding guidelines: server/**/src/test/java/**/*.java: Name tests should[ExpectedBehavior]When[Condition].

Also applies to: 163-163, 181-181, 310-315

Do not log errorMessage.

If a provider includes a bearer token, JSON secret, or raw request body in event.message.errorMessage, redact() leaves it unchanged because it only matches name=value patterns. console.error can then write that content to stderr. Log fixed metadata only, or remove errorMessage.
