### Task T001 - Verify Phase 06 isolation prerequisites and routing evidence

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:00 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:02 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Confirmed the active session is `phase06-session05-isolation-boundary-and-sandbox-diagnostics`.
* Verified Session 05 routes P06-R003 and P06-R019 through P06-R023 from the Phase 06 requirement matrix.
* Confirmed the Phase 06 baseline keeps guarded actions non-executing and file, git, terminal, Docker, remote, and hosted executors unavailable.
* Confirmed ADR 0001 keeps the local-first npm workspace as the runtime baseline.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session05-isolation-boundary-and-sandbox-diagnostics/implementation-notes.md` - recorded environment and routing evidence.

***

### Task T002 - Inventory current guarded-action, unsupported-route, CLI, and hook diagnostic anchors

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:02 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:03 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Guarded actions are owned by `packages/protocol/src/guardedActions.ts` and `apps/server/src/managers/guardedActions.ts`; approvals currently become `unavailable`.
* Unsupported route envelopes are owned by `packages/protocol/src/rest.ts` and `apps/server/src/lib/unsupportedRoutes.ts`, then served from the `app.all("*")` catch-all in `apps/server/src/server.ts`.
* Server orchestration diagnostics are built in `apps/server/src/lib/orchestrationDiagnostics.ts` and mounted by `apps/server/src/routes/diagnostics.ts`.
* CLI diagnostics are fetched and compacted in `apps/cli/src/lib/orchestrationDiagnostics.js`, then printed by `apps/cli/src/commands/status.js` and `apps/cli/src/commands/doctor.js`.
* Hook diagnostics are summarized in `apps/hooks/src/_lib.js` and `apps/hooks/src/ws-listener.js`; hook docs already require silence, bounded POSTs, sanitized logs, and no inbound execution.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session05-isolation-boundary-and-sandbox-diagnostics/implementation-notes.md` - recorded source anchors for implementation.

**Notes**:

* Added the source-backed isolation document with current runtime boundaries, future executor families, compact diagnostic constraints, and recovery limits.
* Kept all file, git, terminal, Docker, remote, Worker, hosted, and browser-to-terminal executor families explicitly unavailable.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/isolation-and-sandbox.md` - added the initial isolation and sandbox threat-model scaffold.

***

### Task T004 - Create protocol isolation posture and diagnostic contracts

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:04 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:06 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added protocol-owned executor family, route family, posture, unavailable reason, requirement, and redaction vocabularies.
* Added compact isolation diagnostic summary shapes for executor posture, guarded actions, unsupported routes, redaction, and narrow recovery.
* Added helper guards and exhaustive switch handling for executor unavailable reasons.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/isolation.ts` - new shared isolation contracts and helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: protocol constants and records use typed exhaustive mappings for executor families.

***

### Task T005 - Export protocol isolation contracts from the package barrel

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:06 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:07 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Exported `src/isolation.ts` from the package root barrel.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` - added isolation contract export.

***

### Task T006 - Refine REST route family vocabulary for executor envelopes

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:07 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:08 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added `container-operations`, `hosted-services`, `worker-execution`, and `channels` as explicit REST route families.
* Added compact unsupported status mapping for execution and collaboration-style route families.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/rest.ts` - refined route family vocabulary and compact status helper.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: unsupported status defaults are protocol-owned and typed against `RestRouteFamily`.

***

### Task T007 - Document protocol ownership of isolation contracts

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:08 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:09 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Documented `src/isolation.ts` as protocol-owned vocabulary for executor posture, unavailable reasons, controls, redaction, recovery, and compact diagnostics.
* Reiterated that protocol isolation contracts do not imply shipped executors.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/README_protocol.md` - added Session 05 isolation ownership notes.

***

### Task T008 - Update API contract for isolation diagnostics and unsupported families

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:09 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:10 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added `GET /diagnostics/isolation` to the shipped REST route table with read-only compact-output constraints.
* Documented no raw request echo and no mutation side effects for isolation diagnostics.
* Split container, hosted, and Worker execution route families into explicit historical classification rows.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/api/event-api-hook-contracts.md` - documented isolation diagnostics and unsupported executor families.

***

### Task T009 - Create server isolation diagnostics builder

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:10 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:12 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a server diagnostic builder that returns protocol-shaped isolation posture, unavailable executor capabilities, guarded-action counts, deterministic unsupported-route families, redaction category counts, and narrow recovery limits.
* Counts are bounded and ordered deterministically. The builder reads manager counts only and does not inspect raw proposals, queue entries, files, logs, archives, backups, or spool payloads.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/isolationDiagnostics.ts` - added compact isolation diagnostics snapshot builder.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: diagnostics expose compact status labels without relying on raw manager payload reads.
* Error information boundaries: blocked categories are labels only; no local payload content is included.

***

### Task T010 - Wire the isolation diagnostics route

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:12 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:13 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Mounted `GET /diagnostics/isolation` in the existing diagnostics router.
* Reused the app-level middleware path so CORS, local auth, rate limiting, and body-size behavior stay aligned with other server routes.
* Added compact 503 error mapping for route builder failures.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/routes/diagnostics.ts` - added isolation diagnostics route wiring.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: route-level builder errors return a compact `diagnostics_unavailable` envelope.

***

### Task T011 - Extend orchestration diagnostics with isolation summary

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:13 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:14 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added a compact `isolation` section to orchestration diagnostics for CLI compatibility.
* The summary exposes only non-executing posture, executor totals, guarded-action counts, and docs paths.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/orchestrationDiagnostics.ts` - added compact isolation summary.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: orchestration diagnostics and the dedicated isolation diagnostics route now share protocol-owned family counts and docs paths.

***

### Task T012 - Refine unsupported route classification for isolation-owned families

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:14 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:16 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Split container, remote, hosted, Worker execution, channel, collaboration, push, webhook, and settings families into deterministic route classifications.
* Used protocol compact unsupported status mapping so route family status is shared.
* Normalized unsupported response paths by stripping query/hash data, bounding path segments, and redacting secret-like segments without echoing request bodies.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/lib/unsupportedRoutes.ts` - refined family classification and response path redaction.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: unsupported envelopes never include request bodies and now further bound path detail.
* Trust boundary enforcement: unsupported route families fail closed with deterministic 501 classification.

***

### Task T013 - Tighten guarded-action unavailable result mapping

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:16 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added family-specific unavailable reasons and messages for file, git, terminal, subagent, mission, handoff, remote, and container guarded actions.
* Approval remains a non-executing state transition to `unavailable`; no executor or workspace mutation was added.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/src/managers/guardedActions.ts` - added exhaustive family-specific unavailable mapping.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: guarded-action family handling is exhaustive at compile time.
* Error information boundaries: unavailable messages are stable posture labels and do not include proposal rationale or preview details.

***

### Task T014 - Update server, CLI, and hook README boundary notes

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:13 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:14 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Documented `GET /diagnostics/isolation` in the server README and reiterated no raw local payloads or mutations.
* Added CLI status/doctor isolation posture and narrow recovery boundaries.
* Reinforced hook-side silence, sanitized diagnostics, and no inbound execution behavior.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/README_server.md` - documented isolation diagnostics and non-executing guarded-action posture.
* `apps/cli/README_cli.md` - documented compact isolation output and no trusted-erasure claims.
* `apps/hooks/README_hooks.md` - documented hook executor boundary and diagnostic limits.

***

### Task T015 - Update CLI diagnostics parsing for isolation posture

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:14 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:15 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added `fetchIsolationDiagnostics()` with the same loopback-only URL enforcement, timeout handling, bearer auth support, and sanitized failure handling used by orchestration diagnostics.
* Added compact isolation response parsing that preserves only posture labels, executor counts/families, guarded-action counts, unsupported-route family labels, redaction category count, and narrow recovery flags.
* Added a compact embedded orchestration isolation parser for compatibility with `/diagnostics/orchestration`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/cli/src/lib/orchestrationDiagnostics.js` - added isolation diagnostics fetch, compacting, and description helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* External dependency resilience: isolation diagnostics use bounded local HTTP requests and explicit timeout failure labels.
* Error information boundaries: CLI compaction drops raw diagnostic payload fields and sanitizes failure text.

***

### Task T016 - Add isolation posture to CLI status output

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:15 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:16 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* `factionos status` now fetches compact isolation diagnostics and prints non-executing posture, unavailable executor counts, guarded-action posture, and narrow recovery state.
* Added fallback to the embedded orchestration isolation summary when the dedicated route is unavailable but the server provides the compact summary.
* Added route-missing failure labels for isolation diagnostics.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/cli/src/commands/status.js` - added isolation status output.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: status output reports route missing, timeout, auth-required, offline, and malformed isolation diagnostics as visible labels.

***

### Task T017 - Add isolation posture checks to CLI doctor

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:16 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:17 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* `factionos doctor` now checks the isolation diagnostics route when the server is reachable.
* Added explicit checks that executor posture remains non-executing/unavailable and recovery remains narrow without trusted erasure claims.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/cli/src/commands/doctor.js` - added isolation diagnostics checks and compact posture output.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: doctor reports a missing isolation route as a visible local diagnostic failure.
* Error information boundaries: doctor prints compact labels and counts only.

***

### Task T018 - Complete the isolation threat model

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:17 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Expanded the isolation document with concrete consent, authorization, audit, idempotency, rollback, redaction, and validation requirements for future executor sessions.
* Kept current recovery wording narrow and avoided trusted-erasure or shipped-executor claims.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/isolation-and-sandbox.md` - completed future executor threat-model requirements.

***

### Task T019 - Add protocol isolation and route family tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: <1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added isolation protocol tests for executor vocabulary, unavailable reasons, control requirements, redaction categories, diagnostic shape, and type alignment.
* Extended REST tests for container, hosted, Worker execution, channel families, and compact unsupported status mapping.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/isolation.test.ts` - added isolation contract tests.
* `packages/protocol/tests/rest.test.ts` - extended REST route vocabulary and status mapping tests.

***

### Task T020 - Add server isolation diagnostics and unavailable route tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: <1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added server route tests for compact isolation diagnostics, auth inheritance, redaction, and read-only guarded-action behavior.
* Extended unsupported route tests for container, hosted, Worker execution, channel, and path-bounding behavior.
* Extended guarded-action tests for remote and subagent family-specific unavailable reasons.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/tests/isolationDiagnostics.test.ts` - added isolation diagnostics route and builder tests.
* `apps/server/tests/unsupportedRoutes.test.ts` - added isolation-owned unsupported route family coverage.
* `apps/server/tests/guardedActions.test.ts` - added family-specific unavailable result coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: auth inheritance and unsupported-route fail-closed behavior are covered.
* State freshness on re-entry: diagnostics builder test proves collection does not expire guarded actions.
* Error information boundaries: tests assert raw guarded-action and route payload details are not echoed.

***

### Task T021 - Add CLI and hook isolation diagnostics tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: <1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added CLI diagnostics tests for compact isolation parsing, bearer auth, non-loopback rejection, sanitized payload dropping, and description output.
* Extended CLI runtime tests so status and doctor print isolation posture and narrow recovery labels.
* Added hook diagnostics coverage for inbound execution-shaped listener frames remaining summarized, sanitized, and non-executing.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/cli/tests/orchestrationDiagnostics.test.js` - added isolation diagnostics fetch and compaction tests.
* `apps/cli/tests/cliRuntime.test.js` - added status/doctor isolation output fixture coverage.
* `apps/hooks/tests/orchestrationDiagnostics.test.js` - added inbound execution-shaped diagnostic summary coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* External dependency resilience: CLI tests cover local-only request boundaries.
* Error information boundaries: CLI and hook tests assert raw prompts, paths, and tokens are not surfaced.
* Trust boundary enforcement: hook test keeps inbound command-shaped frames as diagnostics, not execution.

***

### Task T022 - Run focused verification gates

**Started**: 2026-05-30 06:10 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 06:18 **Duration**: 8 minutes

**Notes**:

* Ran focused Vitest suites for protocol, server, CLI, and hooks. Final result: 8 test files passed, 38 tests passed.
* Ran TypeScript checks for `packages/protocol` and `apps/server`.
* Ran focused Biome format and lint checks for changed TypeScript and JavaScript files.
* Ran ASCII, LF, and `git diff --check` hygiene gates for touched session files.
* Fixed one protocol typecheck issue by giving the compact unsupported status map an explicit `Partial<Record<RestRouteFamily, ...>>` type.
* Fixed one overly broad server test assertion so the redaction category label `proposal_rationale` remains allowed while raw proposal text remains blocked.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/rest.ts` - tightened status map typing.
* `apps/server/tests/isolationDiagnostics.test.ts` - narrowed raw-payload assertion.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session05-isolation-boundary-and-sandbox-diagnostics/implementation-notes.md` - recorded verification results.
