fix(memory): guard against external drift in MEMORY.md/USER.md (#26045) (#30877) Reproduction (production, 2026-05-14): two concurrent sessions on the same agent. Session A patches MEMORY.md directly via the patch tool, appending ~8KB of structured content (Vendor Master, Standing Orders, Pin Board) — none of it through the memory tool, so no § delimiters. Session B starts later with stale in-memory state (1 entry, ~331 chars). Session B calls memory(action=replace) on its one known entry. The tool's _read_file parses A's content as a single 8KB 'entry' (no § splits), then replace truncates that entry to B's new 333-byte content. ~8KB of structured content silently destroyed. The atomic-rename write path is fine in isolation. The bug is the implicit contract: the tool assumes MEMORY.md is exclusively a §-delimited list of small entries it wrote, but the v0.13 install runbook itself uses 'cat >> MEMORY.md' for onboarding, the patch tool edits the file directly, and operators do too. Fix: a drift guard in MemoryStore._detect_external_drift that fires on either signal: 1. Re-parse + re-serialize doesn't produce identical bytes (catches oddly-encoded delimiters / partial writes). 2. Any single parsed entry exceeds the store's whole-file char limit. The tool budgets the ENTIRE store against that limit (2200 chars for memory, 1375 for user), so no tool-written entry can legitimately be larger. An entry bigger than the store limit means an external writer dropped free-form content into what the tool will treat as one entry. When drift fires, _reload_target writes a .bak.<ts> snapshot of the on-disk file, then add/replace/remove refuse to flush. The original file stays untouched. The error dict surfaces the .bak path AND a remediation string ('integrate missing entries via memory(add=...) one at a time, then rewrite the file clean') so the model can act on it without escalating to the operator. Tests: - test_replace_refuses_on_drift, test_add_refuses_on_drift, test_remove_refuses_on_drift — all three mutators refuse - test_clean_file_does_not_trigger_drift — false-positive check - test_error_message_points_at_remediation — error string shape - test_drift_guard_also_protects_user_target — USER.md too - test_drift_backup_filename_is_unique_per_invocation — bak.<ts> naming pin 144 memory tests passing (was 137; +7).

feat(security): promptware defense — shared threat patterns + memory load-time scan + tool-result delimiters (#32269) Hardens the context window against Brainworm-class promptware attacks (see #496). Three changes: 1. tools/threat_patterns.py — single source of truth for injection/promptware patterns. Replaces the duplicated pattern lists in prompt_builder.py and memory_tool.py. Adds ~15 new Brainworm/C2 patterns (node registration, heartbeat/beacon, pull tasking, anti-forensic disk avoidance, identity override, known framework names). Three scopes — 'all' (narrow, classic injection), 'context' (adds promptware/role-play, broader detection), 'strict' (adds persistence/SSH-backdoor patterns for user-mediated writes). 2. MemoryStore.load_from_disk() now scans entries at snapshot-build time. Poisoned entries are replaced with [BLOCKED: ...] placeholders in the frozen system-prompt snapshot. Live state keeps the original so the user can still inspect + remove via memory(action=read/remove). Scan is deterministic from disk bytes — prefix-cache invariant holds. 3. make_tool_result_message() wraps results from high-risk tools (web_extract, web_search, browser_*, mcp_*) in <untrusted_tool_result source="...">...</untrusted_tool_result> delimiters with framing prose telling the model the content is data, not instructions. Architectural defense against indirect injection from poisoned web pages, GitHub issues, MCP responses — does NOT regex-scan tool results (pattern arms race + per-iteration latency). Multimodal content lists pass through unwrapped to preserve adapter compatibility. Pattern philosophy: anchor on C2-specific vocabulary or unambiguous attack behavior, NOT on bossy English. Dropped patterns suggested in #496 that would have tripped legitimate content: standalone 'you are obligated to', 'do not respond immediately', 'you must X' without a C2-verb anchor. Validation: - 257/257 targeted tests pass (test_threat_patterns + test_memory_tool + test_tool_dispatch_helpers + test_prompt_builder) - E2E run with real Brainworm payload: blocked from AGENTS.md context-file path, blocked from MEMORY.md snapshot, wrapped in delimiters when arriving via web_extract. Legitimate 'you must follow conventions' phrasing not flagged. Explicitly NOT in this PR (per #496 discussion): - Per-tool-result regex scanning (pattern arms race) - SessionBehaviorMonitor / polling-loop detection (wrong layer) - Outbound network gating (Docker backend already covers this) - security.context_scanning warn|block knob (current behavior is always block-with-placeholder — there's no warn mode that makes sense) Closes #496 for Phase 1 + the architectural delimiter piece of Phase 2. Phase 3 stays in tracking issue territory.
