From e372b602d34761b0d607af6b0e5360b87dad1c9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Andrei G." Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 04:29:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(tools): make RiskChainAccumulator cross-turn window configurable CROSS_TURN_WINDOW_TURNS was a hardcoded constant with no stated rationale relative to the sibling `[security] window_turns` config. Expose it as `[tools.shell] risk_chain_window_turns`, threaded through &ShellConfig (matching risk_chain_threshold's resolution pattern) instead of a per-call-site parameter, with --init wizard and --migrate-config support. Default stays at 3 (unchanged behavior); 0 is a documented, logged opt-out that disables cross-turn detection. Module docs and specs/010-security/spec.md now state the threat-model rationale and the accepted, bounded residual evasion window. --- CHANGELOG.md | 9 ++ config/default.toml | 5 + crates/zeph-config/src/migrate/mod.rs | 16 +- crates/zeph-config/src/migrate/steps.rs | 22 ++- crates/zeph-config/src/migrate/tests.rs | 45 +++++- crates/zeph-config/src/migrate/tools.rs | 29 ++++ crates/zeph-config/src/tools.rs | 7 + crates/zeph-tools/src/risk_chain.rs | 199 ++++++++++++++++++++---- crates/zeph-tools/src/shell/tests.rs | 1 + specs/010-security/spec.md | 17 +- src/acp.rs | 14 +- src/agent_setup.rs | 39 ++++- src/daemon.rs | 15 +- src/init/mod.rs | 9 ++ src/init/security.rs | 19 +++ src/serve/agent_factory.rs | 8 +- 16 files changed, 386 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index dacebbcf5..a7be1c17d 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -8,6 +8,15 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/). ### Added +- `zeph-config`, `zeph-tools`: `RiskChainAccumulator`'s cross-turn multi-step attack-chain + detection window is now configurable via `[tools.shell] risk_chain_window_turns` (issue + #6603), replacing the previously hardcoded `CROSS_TURN_WINDOW_TURNS = 3` constant.
