…re matching that an interpreter hands back as code, a backend missing from the token rail, and an install guard fifteen tools never reached Found by operating the harness rather than by the suite, and that is most of the point: every item here was invisible to green CI, and the three deny-list ones were invisible for the same structural reason -- the property grammar had no node for the construct they lived in. Two of the three were introduced by the fix for the one before it, which is recorded below rather than tidied away. ## Redirection is grammar, and grammar is what `_segments`/`_head` claim `_head` returned the first token that was neither a `VAR=value` assignment nor a reserved word. A redirection is neither, so it became the head: `2>/dev/null ssh gpu-box nvidia-smi` read as `null`, `>out ssh box` as `>out`, `>/tmp/o kaggle datasets list` as `o`. All allowed. The `2>/dev/null` row is the one that matters -- it is not an attack, it is how a person silences stderr, so the rail was one habit away from failing open with nothing on screen. `_segments` had the other half: it read the `&` in `2>&1` and the `|` in `>|out` as separators, so `2>&1 ssh box` arrived as `['2>', '1 ssh box']` and never reached the head rule. The same mis-split hit `python train.py 2>&1 | tee log`, which was benign only because its head happened to come first -- which is why it survived every test written against this file. `&>` is in the head-rule alternation because fixing the splitter *reopens* `&>out ssh box` without it: while `&` was still a separator that case was caught by accident, the split leaving a tail the head rule could read. ## Every region removed before matching needs an interpreter exception Three regions of a command line are not commands, and the three whole-string rules had never been told about any of them -- so `grep -n 'rm -rf' notes.md` was denied, and you could not grep your own notes for the deny list's own vocabulary. Removing them is right. Removing them unconditionally is not, and getting that wrong twice in the same shape is what makes the rule worth stating in `evaluate_bash` rather than rediscovering: - **quoted strings** are data, except `bash -c "rm -rf ledger"`, where the quoted region is the program. Nine spellings stopped being denied when the quoting fix landed, against the four false denials it removed. - **heredoc bodies** are data, except `bash <<EOF`, where the body is the program arriving on stdin. Because that strip runs before segmentation, it deleted `ssh gpu-box nvidia-smi` out of the command before the head rule ran -- not a gap in one regex but a bypass of every entry in `_DENIED_COMMANDS`. - **comments** need no exception, and are the case to reason from: a comment is discarded by whoever reads it, so no recipient could execute one. A region is data because of *who it is handed to*. A fourth region added there inherits the question, not the answer. `_INTERPRETERS` is matched through `_is_interpreter`, which normalises a trailing version -- `python3` was in the set and `python3.12` was not, which is the name an explicit venv shebang produces. None of this puts `bash -c` in scope. `bash -c "ssh box"` is still allowed and `test_command_string_matching_is_not_the_security_model` still holds; the rules simply read the text they read before the projection existed. ## The grammar is the fix that outlasts the fixes `SAFE_ARGS` contained no token with a `>` or a `<` in it and there was no redirection node, so green CI was never evidence about any of the above: the suite could not express it. Redirection is generated now, at the leaf, where the shell puts it. Heredocs are generated as opener-plus-body-plus-terminator, top level only, with the carrier deciding the oracle -- `cat <<EOF` runs `cat`, `bash <<EOF` runs `bash` and the body. Replayed against the code they were written for: 1241 of 2115 generated redirection cases and 817 of 817 generated interpreter heredocs would have escaped. The live parser misses none of either. ## Money, packaging, install - **`tools.modal` was missing from `_COST_BEARING`.** Not merely the consistency it looks like: `gates.check_project_spend` gates on `gpu_usd` alone while `budget.over_budget` covers all three resources, so a project out of `quota_tokens` had no enforcement point at all on the backend that bills $31.60/h. - **Modal cost ran to `now`.** The ceilings are checked against that number, so collecting the next morning booked a night of H100 time nobody bought -- and the obvious remedy for a ceiling that trips wrongly is to raise it. `finished_at` is stamped by whichever of `status`, `collect` or the smoke path first sees the sandbox stop, first writer winning because the earliest observation is the tightest bound. - **`build/lib/` held a pre-fix copy of `hooks.py`.** Inert -- it is not on `sys.path` -- but setuptools reuses it, so a wheel built in this tree could ship a deny list with two already-fixed holes. No diff shows that: the file is not wrong, it is old. Removed, and the CI build now cleans before it builds. - **The install-shape guard reached ten tools and not the other fifteen**, including every submitter, whose ledger writes are the most expensive in the system to lose. It runs from `core/cli.py` now -- one call where every tool passes -- with `grad-workspace` exempt, because it is the command that repairs the condition the guard refuses on. ## Two boundaries decided rather than left to default `core/credentials.py` says outright that the rail catches habitual spellings and nothing else: `python -c "from core import credentials; ..."` reads any secret in one line and no pattern over a command string can forbid that without forbidding the process from authenticating. Since it cannot be prevented it is now recorded -- every successful read appends name, time and calling frame, never the value, to `ledger/credential_reads.jsonl`. `tools/nb.py` runs no deny list, and that is now a decision with a reason. Its payload is Python; a shell deny list over it would refuse `# rm -rf` in a comment and wave through `subprocess.run(["ssh", ...])`, wrong in both directions with the fail-open one being the direction that matters.

A hotfix. Every item in it was reachable on 0.3.2, and three of them were ways a shell command reached past the deny list -- one of which, an interpreter's heredoc, went past the head rule rather than past a single regex. The number moves before the tag is cut rather than after, for the reason v0.2.1 recorded: `core/version.py` prefers the tag when it finds one and the wheel reads only this file, so a tag on a tree still declaring the old version builds and publishes under the old name.

PowerShell Remove-Item rm -rf combined parameter alias behavior
💡 Result:
In PowerShell, rm is an alias for the Remove-Item cmdlet [1][2]. When you use an alias in a command, it functions exactly like the underlying cmdlet; therefore, you can use any parameters supported by Remove-Item with the rm alias [3][4]. For example, to remove a directory and its contents, you can use the following command: rm -Path "C:\TargetDirectory" -Recurse -Force Key concepts regarding this behavior include: 1. Cmdlet Aliases: Aliases in PowerShell are simple substitutes for the cmdlet name itself [3][4]. Because they map directly to the cmdlet, they fully support the cmdlet's parameter set [3][4]. 2. Parameter Usage: You do not need to do anything special to use parameters with an alias [4]. You can provide parameters exactly as you would with Remove-Item [4]. 3. Distinction from Parameter Aliases: This behavior is different from parameter aliases, which are shorthand names for specific parameters within a cmdlet (e.g., using -Fi as an alias for -Filter) [3][5]. Both cmdlets and parameters can have their own respective aliases, but they are distinct features [3][5]. 4. Limitation on Creating Aliases with Parameters: While you can use parameters with existing aliases, you cannot define a new alias that includes pre-set parameters (e.g., you cannot create an alias called rmforce that automatically includes the -Force parameter) [4][6]. To achieve this, you must instead define a function [4][7]. For instance, if you want a command that always runs with -Recurse and -Force, you would create a function: function Remove-Force { Remove-Item -Path $args -Recurse -Force } Set-Alias -Name rmforce -Value Remove-Force [4][7]

site:learn.microsoft.com PowerShell "rm -rf" "parameter"
💡 Result:
PowerShell does not have a native rm -rf parameter. Instead, it uses the Remove-Item cmdlet [1][2]. To achieve the equivalent functionality of the Unix command rm -rf (which recursively deletes files and directories without prompting), you use the -Recurse parameter with Remove-Item [3][4]. Common usage: Remove-Item -Path "C:\Path\To\Folder" -Recurse To suppress confirmation prompts that may still appear depending on your environment, you can additionally use the -Force parameter (which also allows the deletion of read-only or hidden files) [5][3][6]: Remove-Item -Path "C:\Path\To\Folder" -Recurse -Force Key points: - Remove-Item: The primary cmdlet for deleting files, folders, and other items [1][5]. - -Recurse: This parameter tells PowerShell to delete the specified item and all of its child items [7][8]. - -Force: This parameter allows the deletion of items that would otherwise be protected, such as read-only or hidden files [5][6]. - Aliases: While PowerShell includes rm, rmdir, and del as aliases for Remove-Item, these are simply shortcuts to the cmdlet and do not support Unix-style -rf flags [1][9]. Passing -rf to one of these aliases will result in an error because they are not valid parameters for Remove-Item [1][7].

The current tests do not exercise an ordinary checkout inferred from the filesystem because the fixture sets GRAD_ROOT, and the exemption test invokes show rather than select, so it does not verify that the exempt command repairs or records a usable workspace pointer. Add one test with GRAD_ROOT unset and one invoking grad-workspace select with its required arguments.

In `@tests/test_workspace.py` around lines 354 - 357, Update
test_an_ordinary_checkout_is_not_refused so it clears or overrides the workspace
fixture’s GRAD_ROOT before calling paths.check_not_installed_copy(), allowing
the function to exercise ordinary checkout path inference rather than returning
through the configured-root fast path.
Apply the same fix in `@tests/test_cli_contract.py` around lines 174 - 181: Covers
the missing select-path assertion for the workspace exemption.

A hotfix. Nine defects, found by operating the harness rather than by the suite — every one of them was invisible to green CI, and the three deny-list items were invisible for the same structural reason: the property grammar had no node for the construct they lived in.
Two of the three were introduced by the fix for the one before it. That is recorded here rather than tidied away, because the shape repeats and the repeat is the finding.
The deny list
hooks.pydecides whether a Bash command reaches the shell.Redirection was not grammar the parser knew.
_headreturned the first token that was neither aVAR=valueassignment nor a reserved word, and a redirection is neither — so2>/dev/null ssh gpu-box nvidia-smihad the headnull,>out ssh boxhad>out,>/tmp/o kaggle datasets listhado. All allowed. The2>/dev/nullrow is the one that matters: it is not an attack, it is how a person silences stderr, so the rail was one habit away from failing open with nothing on screen._segmentshad the other half — it read the&in2>&1and the|in>|outas command separators, so2>&1 ssh boxarrived as['2>', '1 ssh box']and never reached the head rule at all. The same mis-split hitpython train.py 2>&1 | tee log, which was benign only because its head happened to come first. That is why it survived every test written against this file.Every region removed before matching needs an interpreter exception — except the one that doesn't. The three whole-string rules (
rm -rf, a download piped into a shell, a credential read) ran against the raw command line and had never been told about quoting, sogrep -n 'rm -rf' notes/audit.mdwas denied and you could not grep your own notes for the deny list's own vocabulary. Removing those regions is right; removing them unconditionally is not:bash -c "rm -rf ledger"— the quoted region is the program_interpreter_payloadbash <<EOF— the body is the program, arriving on stdin_strip_heredocsComments are the case to reason from: a comment is discarded by whoever reads it, so there is no recipient that could execute one. A region is data because of who it is handed to, and the rule is now stated in
evaluate_bashso a fourth region inherits the question rather than the answer.The heredoc one was the worst of the three. Because that strip ran before segmentation, it deleted
ssh gpu-box nvidia-smiout ofbash <<EOF / ssh gpu-box nvidia-smi / EOFbefore the head rule ever ran — not a gap in one regex, a bypass of every entry in_DENIED_COMMANDS.Interpreter names now normalise a trailing version:
python3was in the set andpython3.12was not, which is the name an explicit venv shebang produces.None of this puts
bash -cin scope.bash -c "ssh box"is still allowed,_segmentsstill does not parse a payload, andtest_command_string_matching_is_not_the_security_modelstill holds. The rules simply read the text they read before the projection existed.The grammar is the fix that outlasts the fixes
SAFE_ARGScontained no token with a>or<in it and there was no redirection node, so green CI was never evidence about any of the above — the suite could not express it.>out if true; then ls; fiis not something bash runs, and an oracle asserting about a syntax error is worse than no oracle.cat <<EOFrunscat,bash <<EOFrunsbashand the body.Replayed against the code each was written for: 1241 of 2115 generated redirection cases and 817 of 817 generated interpreter heredocs would have escaped. The live parser misses none of either.
Money, packaging, install
tools.modalwas missing from_COST_BEARING. Not the consistency issue it looks like:gates.check_project_spendgates ongpu_usdalone whilebudget.over_budgetcovers all three resources, so a project out ofquota_tokenshad no enforcement point at all on the backend that bills $31.60/h.now. The$25and$200ceilings are checked against that number, so collecting the next morning booked a night of H100 time nobody bought — fail-closed, blocking real work, with "raise the ceiling" sitting there as the obvious and wrong fix.finished_atis now stamped by whichever ofstatus,collector the smoke path first sees the sandbox stop, first writer winning because the earliest observation is the tightest bound.build/lib/held a pre-fix copy ofhooks.py. Inert — not onsys.path— but setuptools reuses it, so a wheel built in that tree could ship a deny list with two already-fixed holes. There is no diff to review: the file is not wrong, it is old. Removed, and CI now cleans before it builds.site-packagesis an uncollected run and real money. It runs fromcore/cli.pynow, one call where every tool passes, withgrad-workspaceexempt because it is the command that repairs the condition the guard refuses on.Two boundaries decided rather than left to default
core/credentials.pynow says outright that the rail catches habitual spellings and nothing else.python -c "from core import credentials; ..."reads any secret in one line, and no pattern over a command string can forbid that without forbidding the process from authenticating — the agent is the process that needs the token. Since it cannot be prevented it is recorded: every successful read appends name, time and calling frame — never the value — toledger/credential_reads.jsonl.tools/nb.pyruns no deny list, and that is now a decision with a reason attached. Its payload is Python; a shell deny list over it would refuse# rm -rfin a comment and wave throughsubprocess.run(["ssh", ...])— wrong in both directions, with the fail-open one being the direction that matters.Testing
2133 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed locally (Windows, Python 3.14). New coverage: three heredoc properties, a redirection node and a heredoc node in
tests/property/shellgrammar.py, and example regressions for every row above intests/test_hooks.py.hooks.probe()carries the redirection, interpreter-argument, interpreter-stdin, versioned-interpreter, heredoc and comment cases beside the newline andrm -r -fones it already had.One deliberate behaviour change worth calling out:
python -c "print('rm -rf')"now denies. It deletes nothing, but separating it fromos.system('rm -rf x')means parsing Python, which is the indirection class the module declines. Fail-closed, and the route out is a file — which is whatnotes/probes/is for.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
