Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Outside-worktree tools can bypass consent in an affected resumed session, and the previously reported path-handling risks remain open. Resolve these boundaries before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change adds meaningful protection for files outside the project. However, enforcement when session identity is unavailable, recovery from confirmation errors, and approval ownership across session transitions remain insufficiently established. These uncertainties matter because the affected tools can read or modify files with the application's filesystem privileges. Retained concerns Security review detailsSecurity Blast Radius

- Around line 1906-1908: Update the approved branch in the consent flow around
`grants.grant` so execution cannot use a different target than the one the user
approved: re-evaluate the target after confirmation and block or request consent
again if it changed, then bind the filesystem operation to the validated target
with race-resistant handling rather than resolving the pathname again. Add a
test that changes the symlink while confirmation is pending.
Review comments at @lib/path-consent-fence.ts:
- Around line 38-40: Update the path normalization in the consent fence before
its `realpathSync` check to match the underlying tool’s handling of `@`-prefixed
absolute paths and `file://` URLs. Use the same normalization contract as the
tool so consent is checked against the actual write target, and add regression
tests for both path forms.
- Around line 47-48: Update the missing-component fallback around
`missing.push(basename(probe))` to inspect each existing path component with
`lstatSync` and follow symlink targets with `readlinkSync`, checking each
resolved target against the consent root before appending genuinely missing
components. Bound symlink traversal, and add a regression test showing a
dangling symlink to an outside target is not classified as inside the boundary.

Authorization Bypass

Bind execution to the target that the user approved.
If repo/alias.txt initially links to outside target A, the dialog requests consent for A. A process with repository write access can change the link to outside target B while the dialog is pending. Approval grants A, but this return permits execution with the original event.input. Pi's default writer resolves that pathname again and can write B without consent. Its mutation queue does not enforce the approved target. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Re-evaluate the target after confirmation and block or request new consent if it changed. Also bind the filesystem operation to the validated target through a race-resistant operation; a second pathname check alone leaves another race window. Add a test that changes the symlink during confirmation.
Based on learnings: separate pathname validation and later pathname use creates a “TOCTOU race.”

Path Traversal
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-180
Use the tool's path normalization before checking consent.
For write({ path: "@/tmp/notes.txt", content: "..." }), the fence checks <cwd>/@/tmp/notes.txt and passes. Pi 0.99.1 strips the leading @ and writes /tmp/notes.txt. Pi also accepts file:// paths, which this resolver treats as relative paths. A crafted tool argument can therefore access an outside target without consent, including in headless sessions. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Use the same normalization contract as the underlying tool before applying realpathSync. Add regression tests for @-prefixed absolute paths and file URLs.

The test uses an in-root path, session
"s1", andhasUI=true, so it only checks the ordinary"pass"path. It does not exercise the sensitive-path short circuit or the no-session guard inconfirmOutsideBoundaryTargets. Add tool-call assertions for an outside sensitive path and for an outside path with nosessionManager. The existing denial test covers an ordinary outside target, but a regression in either named guard can leave this test green.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

…ree (Gentleman-Programming#1305) Slice 2 of the Gentleman-Programming#1305 runtime boundary: read/write/edit/grep/find/ls resolve their targets against the session worktree and registered same-clone worktrees. Outside targets trigger the guarded-command permission flow naming the absolute path, grants are per-target and per-session (never persisted), headless sessions fail closed, and denied access never executes.
… path fence (Gentleman-Programming#1305) CI-only regression: the odd-runtime-delegation-gate and runtime-harness fakes expose getSessionId without getEntries. registeredRootsForSession now returns no roots for such readers, with a regression test.

`sessionKey` so an empty session ID does not return before checking the
worktree. Preserve no-manager and non-Git behavior, allow in-worktree calls, and
block outside-worktree targets until the manager provides a nonempty ID; do not
use session grants or registered roots without that ID.

…ts (Gentleman-Programming#1305) A session manager without a session id no longer disables the path fence: in-worktree access still passes, but outside-worktree targets fail closed because grants and registered roots cannot be attributed. Addresses the CodeRabbit finding on the empty-session-id startup window.

Part of #1305 (slice 2 of 3; the issue closes with the last slice, not here)
Design thread: maintainer direction recorded 2026-09-30 in the issue: consent covers reads and writes outside the repo and registered same-clone worktrees, per target and per session. This slice is the runtime fence for path tools; the bash fence (cd, git -C, cp, mv, rsync, tee, redirections) is slice 3.
