fix(config): validate autonomy settings against TinySecurity's rules before saving - #8575
Saving autonomy settings now refuses a policy the host's TinySecurity client can't use (for example a relative forbidden path, or an allowed command with arguments). Before, the save succeeded, and with autonomy enabled every TinySecurity check then failed closed.
On Windows, enabling autonomy with the default forbidden paths now works. The Unix roots in the defaults (/etc, /usr, …) have no drive there, and on main they made every TinySecurity check fail closed.
Fixes TinySecurity E2E findings TS-E2E-015 (S3) and TS-E2E-038 (S2).
Problem
config/ops/agent.rs#apply_autonomy_settings checked trusted_roots but saved every other field as given.
modules::security::policy::validate rejects, for an enabled policy: roots that aren't absolute, commands that are empty or contain whitespace, and relative forbidden paths. Its caller on main is modules::security::ensure_loaded (mod.rs:530), which runs it before every TinySecurity client and returns SecurityError::Unavailable on failure.
So a saved {enabled: true, forbidden_paths: ["relative/forbidden"]} passed the settings RPC.
From then on, every host-side TinySecurity check failed closed: the prompt screen, floor queries, command checks and approvals. Nothing told the user why.
The module itself still loads: the boot preload doesn't run validate.
The campaign confirmed the save is accepted (openhuman.config_update_autonomy_settings). The fail-closed effect is shown by reading.
An earlier runtime probe (security_policy_p0::pl_05_…) found TinySecurity still "available". But it used openhuman.security_policy_info, which builds a local policy and doesn't go through ensure_loaded, so it doesn't test this.
TS-E2E-038 (Windows):
config/schema/autonomy.rs#default_forbidden_paths is Unix-only, and on Windows Path::new("/etc").is_absolute() is false.
So with autonomy enabled and the defaults, validate fails on every client call on main, and every TinySecurity check fails closed. This includes embed runtimes, whose Access::apply forces enabled.
The module already ignores these entries on Windows (tinysecurity-policyscoped_forbidden.rs#effective_forbidden); only the host's validate refused them.
Solution
modules/security/mod.rs re-exports policy::validate as validate_policy (crate-visible).
apply_autonomy_settings now parses level and checks max_actions_per_hour before applying any field, next to the trusted_roots check. Before, a bad level or a zero budget was refused only after the earlier fields had been applied and saved.
apply_autonomy_settings (with security-module) keeps a copy of config.autonomy, applies the patch, then runs validate_policy. On error it restores the copy and returns autonomy settings not saved: <reason> without saving. So a rejected patch leaves both the file and the in-memory config as they were.
Windows (modules/security/policy.rs): policy_config builds the forbidden paths with forbidden_paths(paths, cfg!(windows)).
On Windows it leaves out entries rooted without a drive (/x or \x). They name no folder there. UNC paths (\\server, //server), drive paths and ~ paths are kept. Relative entries are kept too, so validate still refuses them on every OS.
validate, ensure_loaded and the module's init payload (module_config → policy_config) all use this one translation, so the fix covers the save check, every client call, and what the module receives.
Linux and macOS are unchanged. Windows configs that already saved the Unix list are fixed too, because the translation, not the defaults, changed.
Submission Checklist
Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy: new failure-path tests (below); the existing autonomy-settings and policy tests cover valid patches and Unix translation.
Diff coverage ≥ 80%: the new branches are covered by the new tests. CI's diff-cover decides.
N/A: no feature row added, removed or renamed in docs/TEST-COVERAGE-MATRIX.md; this tightens validation of an existing setting and fixes its Windows translation.
N/A: no matrix feature IDs affected; the related review findings are listed under Related.
No new external network dependencies introduced.
N/A: no release-cut surface changes (docs/RELEASE-MANUAL-SMOKE.md).
N/A: no GitHub issue tracks this. It is TinySecurity E2E review findings TS-E2E-015 and TS-E2E-038.
Tests and red control
config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rs#apply_autonomy_settings_rejects_a_policy_tinysecurity_cannot_represent (security-module): an enabled patch with a relative forbidden path is refused, and the saved and in-memory autonomy settings are unchanged.
Red control: the test commit alone (on main) fails; with the fix it passes.
modules/security/policy_tests.rs#windows_policy_leaves_out_drive_less_unix_roots: runs on any OS, with the Windows rule passed as a flag; no Windows CI lane runs these lib tests.
With the rule, the defaults keep only their ~ entries. C:\Secrets, both UNC forms and relative are kept. Without the rule, nothing is dropped.
Red control: with the one filter line removed, it fails at policy_tests.rs:44: the Windows list still holds /etc, /root, … /tmp.
modules/security/policy_tests.rs#enabled_default_policy_validates: the untouched defaults, enabled, validate on the OS the tests run on.
config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rs#apply_autonomy_settings_rejects_level_or_budget_before_changing_anything (any features): a patch with max_actions_per_hour: 0 or an unknown level is refused, and nothing earlier in the patch is applied or saved.
Red control: the test commit alone (6edc0b8) fails: the refused patch had already applied and saved enabled and allowed_commands.

4 failures: pre-existing
The layout and clippy reds are on main too, in files this PR doesn't touch. The 4 config::ops::tests:: failures fail the same way without the fix (apply_model_settings_stores_api_key_and_clears_when_empty, apply_local_ai_settings_persists_api_key, apply_local_ai_settings_omlx_keeps_provider_and_v1_suffix, apply_search_settings_stores_and_clears_tavily_key). Each one is "Failed to encrypt …api_key": a plain lib test run has no master key or secret store.
Impact
Settings: an autonomy patch the host would refuse now returns an error naming the reason and changes nothing. Valid patches behave as before.
Windows: enabling autonomy with the default forbidden paths works. TinySecurity's host checks no longer all fail closed. The module's effective policy is unchanged, since it already ignored these entries.
Builds without security-module are unchanged.
An existing config.toml that already holds a relative forbidden path is not rewritten. With autonomy enabled it still fails closed, as on main, until the setting is changed.
No migration, no wire change.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Invalid autonomy settings, including a zero hourly action limit, are rejected before changes are applied or saved. When security policy validation fails, the previous settings remain unchanged.
On Windows, drive-less Unix-style paths are excluded from forbidden-path settings. UNC paths, drive-qualified paths, and relative paths remain supported.
…before saving
apply_autonomy_settings saved allowed_commands and forbidden_paths without
the check ensure_loaded applies on every TinySecurity call, so one relative
path or "git status" entry under enabled autonomy was accepted and then
refused at load. It now runs the same modules::security policy validation
before saving, restores the previous autonomy settings and returns the
reason.
Fixes TS-E2E-015.
Autonomy settings are validated before they are saved when security-module is enabled. Failed validation restores the prior settings. Windows policy configuration filters drive-less rooted forbidden paths. Tests cover path handling, policy validation, and settings updates.

On Windows, policy configuration filters drive-less rooted forbidden paths before tilde expansion. Tests cover path filtering, default policy validation, and translation using an absolute temporary-directory path.
The security module re-exports validate_policy within the crate. apply_autonomy_settings rejects invalid autonomy levels and zero action limits before applying patch fields. When policy validation fails, it restores prior settings and returns an error without saving. Tests cover rejected and accepted settings.

Diagnostics and supporting details
Full summary
Pull request purpose (title): fix(config): validate autonomy settings against TinySecurity's rules before saving. `apply_autonomy_settings` now parses the level and rejects a zero action budget before mutating any field, snapshots `config.autonomy`, applies the patch, then runs `validate_policy`; on rejection it restores the snapshot and returns an error without writing the file. `policy_config` translates forbidden paths through a shared helper that drops drive-less rooted entries on Windows while keeping relative entries and UNC paths, and that same translation feeds `validate` and the module payload. Valid patches and builds without `security-module` behave as before. The latest-push delta is unavailable, so no push-level comparison between the prior reviewed head and the current head is asserted here.

What changed
`crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/mod.rs` re-exports `policy::validate` as crate-visible `validate_policy`. In `crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops/agent.rs`, `apply_autonomy_settings` now computes the parsed `level` and rejects `max_actions_per_hour == 0` before applying any patch field, snapshots `config.autonomy` (gated on `security-module`), applies the patch, then runs `validate_policy`; on error it logs at debug, restores the snapshot and returns `autonomy settings not saved: <reason>` before `config.save()`. In `crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy.rs`, `policy_config` builds the enabled forbidden-path list through `forbidden_paths(paths, cfg!(windows))`, which expands `~` and, when the Windows flag is set, filters out drive-less rooted entries via `is_drive_less_root` (`/x` or `\x`, but not UNC `\\server` or `//server`); relative entries are kept so `validate` still refuses them. Tests in `crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rs` add a pre-mutation level/budget rejection test and the save-time policy rejection test, while `crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy_tests.rs` adds Windows-filtering and enabled-defaults validation tests and changes the translation test to use an absolute per-OS path.
Features
Added — Pre-mutation rejection of bad level and zero action budget: A patch with an unparseable `level` or `max_actions_per_hour: 0` is now refused before any field is applied, so a caller holding the `Config` can no longer end up with a partially applied patch that was already saved. (crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops/agent.rspub async fn apply_autonomy_settings(, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rsasync fn apply_autonomy_settings_rejects_zero() {)
Modified — Windows-safe forbidden-path translation in `policy_config`: On Windows, entries rooted without a drive (the Unix roots in the shipped defaults) are left out of the translated policy, since the module already ignores them there; without this, enabling autonomy with the untouched defaults left `validate` refusing the whole policy. Because `validate` and the module payload share this translation, Windows configs already holding the Unix list are also relieved. (crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy.rspub fn policy_config(config: &Config) -> tinysecurity_bus::PolicyConfig {)
Internal refactor — Crate-visible re-export of policy validation: Exposes the existing `policy::validate` as `validate_policy` for use by the config layer; the validator's own behavior is unchanged. (crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/mod.rsmod tests;)
Tests
unit — Applies, against a temp config, a patch with `max_actions_per_hour: 0` (alongside enabled and allowed commands) and a patch with an unknown level, expecting errors mentioning the budget and the invalid level, unchanged autonomy settings compared to a pre-patch serialization, and no config file on disk.: Pins the new pre-mutation ordering, where the same patch fields would previously have been applied before rejection. No test execution result is claimed here. (crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rsasync fn apply_autonomy_settings_rejects_zero() {)
unit — Calls `apply_autonomy_settings` with an enabled patch containing a relative forbidden path, expecting a rejection mentioning absolute paths, unchanged in-memory autonomy settings and no config file on disk; repeats with an allowed command containing whitespace, expecting a rejection mentioning argument-free command names; then applies a representable enabled policy and expects it to save.: Covers both rejection paths and the accepted path and asserts both rollback dimensions. The tests lane noted the rollback assertion compares each patch against a snapshot taken before the loop, which holds only because the first rejection restores state, but concluded the test would still catch a missing rollback and reported no defect meeting the reporting bar. No test execution result is claimed here. (crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops_voice_and_autonomy_tests.rsasync fn apply_autonomy_settings_rejects_zero() {)
unit — Builds a default config with temporary action and workspace directories, enables autonomy, and asserts `validate` returns `Ok(())` for the untouched forbidden paths on the current OS.: Covers the enabled-defaults validation path the Windows filtering change is meant to preserve. No test execution result is claimed here. (crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy_tests.rsfn enabled_policy_expands_home_relative_forbidden_paths() {)
unit — Existing test confirming that an enabled policy with a relative forbidden path is still refused by `validate`.: Pins that the Windows filtering does not weaken relative-path rejection. No test execution result is claimed here. (crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy_tests.rsfn enabled_policy_still_refuses_relative_forbidden_paths() {)
unit — Updated translation test: sets `forbidden_paths` to an absolute per-OS path derived from a temp dir (instead of the previously drive-less `/private`) and asserts it appears unchanged in `policy_config`'s output alongside the enabled flag, allowed commands and workspace dir.: The change makes the assertion hold on Windows too, where a drive-less `/private` would be filtered out. No test execution result is claimed here. (crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/security/policy_tests.rsfn policy_translation_copies_effective_host_settings() {)

tests
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Lane summary: The change adds pre-write validation to `apply_autonomy_settings` (reverting the in-memory config on rejection), moves level/budget validation ahead of mutation, and filters drive-less Unix roots out of the forbidden-path translation on Windows. The diff carries tests for both new rejection branches, the revert-on-reject invariant, the Windows filtering, and the untouched-defaults validation; the Windows filter itself is exercised on every platform because `forbidden_paths`/`is_drive_less_root` take the OS as an argument. The test callbacks (`validate`, `forbidden_paths`) are correctly wired through `use super::*`, so the new tests are compiled and do not silently pass. I found no defect worth reporting. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `81b2d9032012`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

description
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: The description lane found the diff, callers and the `validate`/`policy_config` definitions agree with the PR body, including the pre-mutation level/budget checks, the rollback on `validate_policy` rejection, and the Windows drive-less-root filter, with no findings.
Lane summary: This revision is a smaller follow-up: it moves the level and max_actions_per_hour checks ahead of any mutation, rolls back config.autonomy when validate_policy rejects an enabled patch, and adds tests plus the Windows drive-less-root filter in policy_config. The diff, the callers shown, and the validate/policy_config definitions I read all agree with the PR body; I found no defect in the added code. Nothing here is a separate concern, so no findings. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `81b2d9032012`), so retrieved context may be out of date._
The shipped default forbidden paths include /etc, /usr and the other Unix
roots. On Windows these have no drive, so Path::is_absolute is false and
validate (and the module) refused an enabled policy built from the
defaults. They name no folder there, so the translation leaves them out
on Windows; relative entries are still refused.
