+"""Self-healing availability guard for persistent Online Agent workers.
+
+The guard never claims Tasks and never writes Task/Job/Git databases. It only:
+- ensures required worker/executor systemd units are enabled + active;
+- checks worker-owned liveness JSON written by the real poll/heartbeat loop;
+- restarts an active worker only when its liveness is stale;
+- honors an explicit maintenance inhibit file;
+- writes a bounded status JSON under /run for observability.
+
+Idle liveness is the successful poll loop itself. Busy liveness is refreshed by the
+Task lease-heartbeat thread, so long-running Tasks are not mistaken for hung workers.

+# External Agent Attempt-Scoped Request Identity
+
+## Problem
+
+External Agent execution previously derived its durable request ID from:
+
+```text
+task_id
+job_id
+execution_digest
+runtime
+```
+
+The Online Task attempt was missing.
+
+That is incorrect for retryable external side effects. A failed Model Governance route reservation is
+durable and terminal for that request ID. Reusing the same external request ID on a later official
+Task attempt therefore reuses the old route decision/reservation and can fail settlement with:
+
+```text
+MODEL_RESERVATION_STATE_INVALID
+```
+
+Archiving an exchange failed marker does not fix the root cause because the Model Governance
+reservation remains intentionally durable.
+
+## Contract
+
+External request identity is now:
+
+```text
+hash(
+  task_id,
+  job_id,
+  execution_digest,
+  runtime,
+  attempt
+)
+```
+
+The attempt is a **transient execution coordinate**. It is not added to the signed governed execution
+envelope and does not alter the Task/Job binding or execution digest.
+
+The worker gets the authoritative attempt from the successful claim response and passes it through:
+
+```text
+process_claim
+→ RuntimeAdapter.execute(..., attempt=N)
+→ ExternalAgentExecutor
+→ ExternalAgentExchange
+→ external request JSON
+→ external result JSON
+```
+
+The external result must bind the same attempt.
+
+## Idempotency
+
+This gives the intended two-level behavior:
+
+```text
+same Task/Job/execution/runtime + same attempt
+→ same external request ID
+→ same external result/reservation can be replayed safely
+
+same Task/Job/execution/runtime + next official attempt
+→ different external request ID
+→ different Model Governance request ID
+→ new reservation
+```
+
+Old FAILED reservations are retained for audit. No Model Governance DB cleanup is required or
+permitted.
+
+## Model Governance
+
+Model Governance already derives its route request ID from:
+
+```text
+external_request_id + ":model"
+```
+
+Therefore making the external request ID attempt-scoped automatically makes route decisions and
+reservations attempt-scoped without creating another state authority.
+
+## Recovery
+
+For the current Hermes live Task:
+
+```text
+attempt 6
+→ old request/reservation remains FAILED
+
+official NEEDS_REWORK
+→ bounded retry extension 6 → 7
+
+attempt 7
+→ new external request ID
+→ new route request ID
+→ new reservation
+→ provider execution
+→ settlement
+```
+
+No replacement Task/Job, direct DB rewrite, failed-reservation deletion or marker deletion is
+required.
+
+## Worker Availability
+
+The repair must preserve the already verified Worker Availability runtime. Runtime switches use the
+maintenance inhibit and must finish with the guard healthy and all three workers fresh.
+
+## Verification
+
+Required regression coverage:
+
+- request ID stable within one attempt;
+- request ID different across attempts;
+- request schema requires a valid attempt;
+- external result binds attempt;
+- old failed Model Governance reservation remains FAILED;
+- next attempt gets a new reservation and can settle;
+- existing external-agent and Model Governance runtime tests still pass.

+# Hermes / OpenClaw Online Agent Runtime
+
+## Goal
+
+Promote Hermes and OpenClaw from shadow-only adapter descriptions to real Online Agent workers
+without creating a second Task/claim protocol.
+
+Both workers reuse the existing P1/P2 Online Agent lifecycle:
+
+```text
+Online Task projected
+→ capability-filtered poll
+→ automatic claim
+→ heartbeat
+→ durable checkpoint
+→ external Agent execution
+→ attempt-aware result submission
+→ official verification
+```
+
+They do **not** change the existing TaskPlane `OpenClawAdapter/HermesAdapter` shadow contract. Those
+adapters remain side-effect-free compatibility surfaces.
+
+## Execution action
+
+The canonical execution envelope adds a read-only action:
+
+```text
+action=agent_runtime
+adapter=hermes | openclaw
+```
+
+The action requires capability `agent.runtime.<adapter>`, has an empty change set, no verification
+commands, and `writer_lease=false`.
+
+`project_online_task()` copies only bounded task fields into the signed execution envelope:
+
+- goal;
+- instructions;
+- success criteria;
+- non-secret constraints.
+
+The task may not choose a command, executable, URL, credential path, environment, or shell string.
+
+## Worker separation
+
+The generic engineering worker defaults to:
+
+```text
+AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=deterministic,source_capture,compact_interface_map,codex
+```
+
+so it skips Hermes/OpenClaw tasks before claim.
+
+Dedicated services advertise:
+
+```text
+Hermes:
+  AIOS_WORKER_CAPABILITIES=agent.runtime.hermes
+  AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=hermes
+
+OpenClaw:
+  AIOS_WORKER_CAPABILITIES=agent.runtime.openclaw
+  AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=openclaw
+```
+
+This makes adapter selection a pre-claim capability/fleet decision instead of a post-claim failure.
+
+## Credential-isolated executor
+
+The Online Agent worker itself still owns only Task API/Bridge coordination credentials. It writes
+a hash-bound request to `/var/lib/aios-external-agent-executor`.
+
+`aios-external-agent-executor.service` runs as the existing uncredentialed engineering executor user.
+It has:
+
+- one provider-only `LoadCredential` projection for the model-ready OneAPI environment;
+- `/etc/aios-gitops`, `/data/aios-gitops`, and the original provider-secret directory inaccessible;
+- no repository path;
+- no shell execution;
+- loopback denied, preventing direct access to the AIOS Task/Bridge control plane;
+- only the staging OneAPI container address allowed for the installed Agent runtime/provider;
+- only the exchange directory writable.
+
+The root-owned runtime profile in `/etc/aios/external-agent-runtime.d/<runtime>.json` decides the
+absolute executable, fixed non-secret environment, provider-only credential mapping, and I/O mode.
+A task cannot override any of these values. The profile may select `OPENAI_API_KEY` only from the
+systemd credential named `aios-external-agent-oneapi-env`; it cannot name a credential, inject an
+environment variable, or carry an inline secret. The runtime executor parses only the selected
+`ONEAPI_REGULAR_TOKEN` entry and does not expose the source file or other provider tiers to the
+child.
+
+## Runtime profile
+
+A profile supports:
+
+- `argv`: fixed argv, absolute allowlisted executable;
+- `input_mode`: `stdin_text`, `stdin_json`, or `file_json`;
+- `output_mode`: `stdout_text`, `stdout_json`, or `file_json`;
+- timeout;
+- bounded output size.
+
+`{input_json}` and `{output_json}` placeholders are allowed only for file modes. `{prompt}` is a
+root-profile-only argv placeholder populated from the bounded, signed task projection.
+
+The repository includes the staging profile templates validated against the installed Hermes
+v0.20.0 and OpenClaw v2026.7.2-beta.7 CLIs. Before activation, the Agent must re-run the actual
+`--help`/version probes and install the profiles and static configs root-owned. If the installed
+CLI differs, update only the root-owned profile/config projection and record the observed command;
+do not modify the Task contract to compensate.
+
+The provider projection is staging-only and uses the existing model-ready OneAPI source. It is not
+an AIOS Task, Bridge, GitOps, SSH, or Writer credential. Live activation remains blocked if the
+model-ready source cannot be projected through systemd or if the selected provider credential is
+missing/quota-invalid. This worker never passes API keys through task metadata or arbitrary
+environment variables.
+
+## Retry/restart
+
+The external request ID is deterministic over Task/Job/execution digest/runtime. The exchange keeps
+the request/result across worker restart. A repeated attempt with the exact execution digest reuses
+the durable external result instead of invoking the Agent twice.
+
+The normal P1 result idempotency/checkpoint path remains authoritative for Task result submission.
+
+## Result
+
+Successful execution returns:
+
+```text
+status=SUCCEEDED
+classification=EXTERNAL_AGENT_RUNTIME_SUCCEEDED
+execution_mode=agent_runtime
+agent_runtime=hermes | openclaw
+writer_lease=NONE
+changed_files=[]
+credential_material_exposed=false
+control_plane_access_granted_to_runtime=false
+```
+
+This first runtime version is intentionally read-only with respect to the repository. Engineering
+changes continue to use assistant-authored deterministic plans and governed WriterLease/commit.

+# Model Governance Policy / Profile Floor Compatibility
+
+## Problem
+
+The root-owned OpenClaw runtime profile reserves a minimum of 16,384 input tokens so Model
+Governance can cover OpenClaw-injected workspace, skills and system context before provider
+execution.
+
+The staging scope policies still limited input to 16,000 tokens per request. Route selection
+therefore failed before reservation with:
+
+```text
+MODEL_INPUT_TOKEN_LIMIT_DENY
+```
+
+This was a configuration invariant violation:
+
+```text
+scope max_input_tokens_per_request
+<
+root-owned profile input_reservation_floor_tokens
+```
+
+The registered OpenClaw model itself supports 32,768 input tokens, so the model capability was not
+the blocker.
+
+## Invariant
+
+For every Model Governance scope that allows a model/runtime whose root-owned profile declares an
+input reservation floor:
+
+```text
+scope.max_input_tokens_per_request
+>=
+profile.model_governance.input_reservation_floor_tokens
+```
+
+The profile floor remains root-owned. Task payloads cannot alter it.
+
+## Staging policy
+
+The two staging policies that allow `openai/deepseek-v4-flash` are updated from:
+
+```text
+16000
+```
+
+to:
+
+```text
+16384
+```
+
+This is the minimum compatible value. It intentionally remains below the model's 32,768-token
+technical input ceiling.
+
+The daily token budget is unchanged.
+
+## Governance path
+
+The live SQLite policy must be changed only through the repository bootstrap and
+`aios_model_governance_admin.py`.
+
+The admin reconciler:
+
+- reads the governed repository config;
+- uses current policy revision as CAS;
+- calls `ModelGovernanceStore.set_scope_policy`;
+- appends normal Model Governance audit evidence;
+- verifies the audit chain.
+
+Direct SQL updates remain forbidden.
+
+## Exhausted OpenClaw recovery
+
+The fixed OpenClaw live Task has exhausted its normal three attempts.
+
+After the governed policy candidate is officially verified and the live policy is reconciled:
+
+```text
+attempt 3 VERIFYING/FAILED result
+→ official NEEDS_REWORK
+→ Task becomes FAILED 3/3
+→ official bounded retry extension 3 → 4
+→ same Task / same Job returns QUEUED
+→ persistent OpenClaw worker auto-claims attempt 4
+```
+
+AR1 attempt-scoped external request identity ensures attempt 4 receives a new external request and a
+new Model Governance reservation.
+
+No historical reservation is deleted or rewritten.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+Attempt 4 must prove:
+
+```text
+scope max_input_tokens_per_request=16384
+profile input_reservation_floor_tokens=16384
+reserved_estimated_input_tokens>=16384
+actual input <= reserved input

+usage_source=runtime
+audit_chain_valid=true
+```
+
+If attempt 4 exposes a new failure, stop. No additional retry extension is authorized by this
+repair.

+# AIOS Model Governance Runtime
+
+## Status and purpose
+
+This component turns the previously `PARTIAL` Model Governance interface map into an enforceable
+runtime policy for the already verified Hermes/OpenClaw Online Agent path.
+
+It is intentionally a **single SQLite library**, not a new network service. The existing external
+Agent executor calls the library immediately before launching a model-backed runtime and settles the
+same reservation immediately after the result.
+
+The authoritative execution chain remains:
+
+```text
+Online Task scope / trace
+→ dedicated worker claim + heartbeat
+→ external Agent executor
+→ ModelGovernanceStore.route()
+→ root-owned runtime profile binds provider/model/version
+→ Hermes / OpenClaw process
+→ ModelGovernanceStore.record_success() / record_failure()
+→ durable Online Agent checkpoint/result
+```
+
+P0 scope/trace/credential, P1 checkpoint/retry, P2 fleet scheduling and the existing external Agent
+credential boundary remain authoritative.
+
+## Ten Model Governance contracts
+
+### MODEL_PROVIDER_REGISTRY
+
+`model_governance_providers` stores provider identity, failure domain, circuit policy and an opaque
+credential reference. Raw credentials are rejected.
+
+Allowed reference prefixes:
+
+- `systemd-credential:`
+- `runtime-profile:`
+- `credential-broker:`
+
+### MODEL_SELECTION_POLICY
+
+`model_governance_scope_policies` constrains eligible models/providers/capabilities. Routing is
+deterministic: explicit preferred models, then configured priority, then stable provider/model IDs.
+
+### MODEL_VERSION_PINNING
+
+A registry row always includes a model version. A scope can additionally pin a model ID + exact
+version. Every route decision persists both model ID and version plus model/policy revisions.
+
+### MODEL_BUDGET_ACCOUNTING
+
+A route first reserves estimated input/output tokens and estimated cost inside `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`.
+Settled usage and outstanding reservations both count against the daily scope budget, preventing two
+concurrent requests from oversubscribing the same budget.
+
+Runtime-reported usage is preferred. When telemetry is absent, the reserved upper bound is charged
+rather than silently under-counting.
+
+OpenClaw's verified result shape is supported directly:
+
+```text
+meta.agentMeta.usage.input
+meta.agentMeta.usage.output
+meta.agentMeta.costUsd
+```
+
+Hermes currently has no structured usage in the verified output, so it uses conservative
+reservation settlement.
+
+### MODEL_FALLBACK_POLICY
+
+Provider failures are durable. Repeated failures open a circuit for the configured cooldown. A
+fallback request excludes the failed provider and increments `fallback_index`; the scope policy
+bounds the number of fallback attempts.
+
+### MODEL_SCOPE_ISOLATION
+
+The signed `agent_runtime` execution envelope now carries authoritative Task scope + trace identity.
+
+The projection layer always overwrites `runtime_input.scope` and `runtime_input.trace_id` from the
+Online Task, even if an execution request attempts to supply different values.
+
+Tenant/project lookup may fall back only to the same tenant's policy. It never falls back to a
+system or legacy policy. `system` and `legacy` require their own explicit policies, avoiding fake
+tenant identities.
+
+### MODEL_CREDENTIAL_BOUNDARY
+
+Model governance stores credential references only. The root-owned external-runtime profile still
+owns the actual provider credential projection. Task payloads cannot select executable, argv,
+environment, provider credential, or credential path.
+
+The external child process remains unable to reach the AIOS control plane.
+
+### MODEL_TRACE_AUDIT
+
+Every route, failure, provider/model/policy update and settlement appends to a SHA-256 hash-chained
+audit table with task ID, trace ID and scope key. `verify_audit_chain()` detects tampering.
+
+### MODEL_EVALUATION_GATE
+
+A model cannot enter the registry unless its state is `APPROVED` and it has a 64-hex evaluation
+evidence digest.
+
+The staging bootstrap uses the already verified Hermes/OpenClaw E2E external-result SHA256 values as
+evaluation evidence, rather than a configuration-file hash.
+
+### MODEL_ROUTING_RESILIENCE
+
+Route request IDs are idempotent and bound to a canonical request hash. Conflicting replay is
+rejected. Provider health, reservations, usage settlement and policy/provider/model updates use
+transaction/CAS semantics.
+
+## Runtime profile contract
+
+A root-owned Hermes/OpenClaw profile may declare:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model_governance": {
+    "required": true,
+    "provider_ids": ["provider-a"],
+    "model_capabilities": ["text"],
+    "max_output_tokens": 512
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When `required=true`:
+
+- `provider_ids` must be non-empty;
+- `max_output_tokens` must be positive;
+- argv/environment must contain at least one governance-controlled marker:
+  `{provider_id}`, `{model_id}`, or `{model_version}`;
+- `AIOS_MODEL_GOVERNANCE_ENABLED` must be enabled;
+- a matching scope policy/model/provider must exist;
+- budget reservation must succeed before the child process is launched.
+
+The task cannot provide these markers or their values.
+
+## SQLite authority
+
+Default database:
+
+```text
+/var/lib/aios-model-governance/state.sqlite3
+```
+
+The executor process already owns the only runtime mutation path. The directory is created by
+tmpfiles and is the only new writable path added to that executor.
+
+No direct Task/Job/Git database writes are introduced.
+
+## Bootstrap/reconciliation
+
+`aios_model_governance_admin.py` applies a root-owned JSON bootstrap idempotently. It compares desired
+state to current rows and uses the current revision as the CAS input only when a change is actually
+required.
+
+The repository staging bootstrap is not a Production policy. It exists only to reproduce and
+govern the already verified non-production Hermes/OpenClaw runtimes.
+
+## Cost caveat
+
+The current verified OneAPI-backed runtime evidence reports zero authoritative provider cost for
+OpenClaw and no structured cost for Hermes. The staging bootstrap therefore does **not** invent
+pricing and sets cost rates/budget to zero/unbounded.
+
+Token budgets remain enforced. Real monetary budget enforcement becomes effective as soon as
+authoritative per-model pricing is entered into the root-owned registry.
+
+## OpenClaw JIT/WASM compatibility
+
+The previous live acceptance proved that OpenClaw Node/WASM requires
+`MemoryDenyWriteExecute=no`. Model Governance must preserve that already-evidenced runtime exception;
+it must not further weaken `NoNewPrivileges`, `ProtectSystem=strict`, `ProtectHome`, loopback deny,
+credential isolation or repository isolation.
+
+## Failure/recovery invariants
+
+- Budget denial occurs before provider execution.
+- Missing scope policy fails closed.
+- Missing/disabled governance fails closed when a profile requires it.
+- Actual usage cannot exceed the reservation.
+- Provider failure releases that reservation into `FAILED` state before fallback.
+- Settlement is idempotent.
+- Route replay is idempotent only for the exact canonical request.
+- Audit corruption is detectable.
+- Online Agent checkpoint/result retry remains unchanged and remains the outer recovery authority.
+
+## Verification
+
+Required unit/integration coverage includes:
+
+- registry/evaluation/CAS;
+- scope isolation and no system→tenant fallback;
+- model/version pinning;
+- atomic budget reservation;
+- settlement/replay;
+- missing telemetry conservative settlement;
+- provider circuit/fallback;
+- trace/audit tamper detection;
+- authoritative scope/trace projection;
+- task runtime-input scope override attack;
+- root-owned provider/model binding;
+- OpenClaw nested usage extraction;
+- real Hermes/OpenClaw staging live tasks with Model Governance evidence.
+
+The governed implementation is not complete without the unified all-modified-files bundle for the
+candidate delta and the cumulative lineage bundle.

+# OpenClaw Input Reservation Floor
+
+## Problem
+
+Model Governance originally estimated input reservation from the user-visible prompt only.
+
+The verified OpenClaw runtime injects additional root-owned/system-controlled context including
+workspace, skills and system instructions. In live acceptance the prompt estimate reserved only
+153 input tokens while OpenClaw reported approximately 7,770 actual input tokens.
+
+The settlement correctly failed closed with:
+
+```text
+MODEL_USAGE_EXCEEDS_RESERVATION
+```
+
+The provider call itself had succeeded. The defect was therefore pre-execution reservation
+underestimation, not provider connectivity.
+
+## Contract
+
+A root-owned external Agent profile may now declare:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model_governance": {
+    "input_reservation_floor_tokens": 16384
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The effective input reservation is:
+
+```text
+max(
+  byte-based prompt estimate,
+  profile input_reservation_floor_tokens
+)
+```
+
+Only the root-owned runtime profile can choose this floor. Online Task payloads cannot lower or
+override it.
+
+The OpenClaw staging profile uses 16,384 tokens. This is greater than twice the observed 7,770-token
+live input high-water mark while remaining below the registered 32,768-token model input limit.
+
+Hermes has no floor unless explicitly configured and therefore preserves its existing behavior.
+
+## Fail-closed behavior
+
+The floor is not an unlimited post-execution top-up.
+
+If actual runtime usage exceeds the reserved amount, settlement still fails with
+`MODEL_USAGE_EXCEEDS_RESERVATION`.
+
+This keeps budget enforcement pre-execution and avoids silently authorizing usage after it has
+already happened.
+
+## Evidence
+
+External results expose:
+
+```text
+prompt_estimated_input_tokens
+input_reservation_floor_tokens
+reserved_estimated_input_tokens
+```
+
+alongside the normal settlement and audit evidence.
+
+## Retry
+
+The current OpenClaw attempt 1 failure remains preserved. After this code repair is governed and
+activated, official `NEEDS_REWORK` returns the same fixed Task to the normal retry path. Because AR1
+already made external request identity attempt-scoped, attempt 2 receives a new external request ID
+and a new reservation.
+
+No retry-extension is required because the Task is currently attempt 1 of 3.
+
+No Model Governance reservation is deleted or rewritten.

+# AIOS Worker Availability Runtime
+
+## Priority
+
+This runtime exists to make the already verified Online Agent execution path continuously usable
+without repeated human intervention.
+
+The system already proved that generic, Hermes and OpenClaw workers can claim and complete real
+Online Tasks. The remaining availability defect was operational: evidence-freeze workflows left the
+worker services stopped, while registry `ACTIVE` records remained stale.
+
+The availability contract therefore separates:
+
+```text
+AUTO_CLAIM_MECHANISM=VERIFIED
+CURRENT_WORKER_AVAILABILITY=<fresh runtime state>
+```
+
+A historical successful claim is not current liveness.
+
+## Source of truth for idle liveness
+
+An idle worker may have no Task lease heartbeat. Therefore Task heartbeat alone cannot prove that
+the worker is continuously polling.
+
+`aios_online_agent_worker.py` now writes:
+
+```text
+<AIOS_WORKER_STATE_ROOT>/worker-liveness.json
+```
+
+on:
+
+- process start: `STARTING`;
+- every successful poll: `POLL_OK`;
+- poll failure: `POLL_FAILED`;
+- every successful Task lease heartbeat while executing: `BUSY`.
+
+The file contains:
+
+- agent ID/type/version;
+- process PID;
+- monotonically increasing local sequence;
+- `last_seen_epoch`;
+- poll/heartbeat intervals;
+- current Task/stage while busy.
+
+The liveness file is worker-owned observability state only. It does not write or mutate Task, Job,
+Git, WriterLease or registry databases.
+
+## Self-healing guard
+
+`aios-worker-availability-guard.timer` invokes a root-owned oneshot guard every 30 seconds.
+
+The guard manages:
+
+```text
+aios-online-agent-worker-20260815.service
+aios-hermes-online-agent-worker.service
+aios-openclaw-online-agent-worker.service
+```
+
+and the required external runtime dependency:
+
+```text
+aios-external-agent-executor.service
+```
+
+For each worker:
+
+1. missing systemd unit → fail closed;
+2. disabled → `systemctl enable`;
+3. inactive → `systemctl start`;
+4. active but liveness older than 90 seconds → restart;
+5. repeated stale restart within 60 seconds → do not restart again; report degraded.
+
+Long-running Tasks are safe because the Task lease-heartbeat thread refreshes `BUSY` liveness.
+
+The guard never claims a Task and never touches Task/Job/Git databases.
+
+## Maintenance inhibit
+
+Planned maintenance creates:
+
+```text
+/run/aios-worker-availability/maintenance.lock
+```
+
+While this file exists the guard performs no start/restart actions and reports:
+
+```text
+MAINTENANCE_INHIBITED
+```
+
+Maintenance tooling must remove the file when done. This prevents the self-healer from fighting
+intentional service changes.
+
+## Status
+
+The guard writes:
+
+```text
+/run/aios-worker-availability/status.json
+```
+
+with current worker/dependency states, liveness ages and recovery actions.
+
+A worker is currently available only when:
+
+```text
+systemd load_state=loaded
+systemd active_state=active
+unit enabled/static
+worker-liveness.json present
+last_seen_age <= 90s
+```
+
+Registry `ACTIVE` without fresh poll/busy liveness is not sufficient.
+
+## Boot/restart behavior
+
+The timer is:
+
+```text
+OnBootSec=15s
+OnUnitActiveSec=30s
+Persistent=true
+```
+
+Therefore reboot, manual stop left behind by another workflow, process crash, and hung poll loop are
+all repaired without requiring a human to notice and intervene.
+
+Normal worker units retain their own `Restart=always`; the availability guard handles the cases that
+`Restart=always` cannot, especially a deliberate `systemctl stop` left after an evidence workflow.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+The live acceptance requires all of the following:
+
+```text
+guard timer active/enabled
+external executor active/enabled
+generic worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+Hermes worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+OpenClaw worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+```
+
+Then a new read-only Online Task is projected through canonical Bridge `18892`.
+
+Success requires:
+
+```text
+TASK_CREATED
+→ generic worker auto claim
+→ TASK_HEARTBEAT
+→ RESULT_SUBMITTED
+→ official TASK_VERIFIED(SUCCEEDED)
+```
+
+After the Task, the services must remain active and liveness must continue advancing. The acceptance
+also stops a worker intentionally once and proves the guard starts it again with a new fresh
+liveness sequence.
+
+Only after these gates may current status be upgraded from:
+
+```text
+OVERALL=PARTIAL
+```
+
+to:
+
+```text
+PERSISTENT_WORKER_LIVENESS=VERIFIED
+NEW_TASK_AUTO_CONSUMPTION=VERIFIED
+WORKER_AVAILABILITY_RUNTIME=VERIFIED_CANDIDATE
+```
+
+Protected main and Production remain out of scope.
+
+
+## Forced source-capture projection compatibility
+
+The deployed canonical Bridge currently projects a default `source_capture` envelope even when a
+governed binding request asks for binding-only behavior. This must not be allowed to make always-on
+workers consume engineering Tasks before their deterministic plan is registered.
+
+The worker therefore distinguishes a real read-only source capture from an engineering placeholder:
+
+```text
+source_capture
++ capability_scope contains governed.write.branch or governed.write.file
+= PENDING_DETERMINISTIC_PLAN
+```
+
+For such a placeholder the worker:
+
+1. re-resolves through the canonical plan registry **without replaying the stale source-capture
+   envelope**;
+2. if no deterministic plan exists, emits `TASK_SKIPPED_PENDING_DETERMINISTIC_PLAN` and does not
+   claim;
+3. if the registered canonical envelope is deterministic and the governed binding still matches,
+   uses that deterministic envelope and claims normally.
+
+A real read-only source-capture Task with only `git.read`/`git.test` still replays its exact persisted
+payload and remains claimable.
+
+This makes persistent workers safe with the currently deployed Bridge while preserving the same
+Task/Job binding. No Task DB rewrite, cancellation, replacement Task, fake NEEDS_REWORK, or
+pre-claim metadata mutation is required.
+
+A later Bridge cleanup may implement true binding-only projection, but Worker Availability does not
+depend on that cleanup.

+Future governed tasks should use this repository version instead of copying an unversioned scanner.
+
+## Secret scanning invariant
+
+Private-key detection requires a complete PEM header:
+
+```text
+-----BEGIN [RSA|EC|DSA|OPENSSH ]PRIVATE KEY-----
+```
+
+The following source/test/document text is not secret material and must remain packageable:
+
+```text
+BEGIN PRIVATE KEY
+PRIVATE KEY
+PEM private-key header
+```
+
+Bearer and key/value credential detection remains fail-closed:
+
+```text
+Authorization: Bearer <20+ token chars>
+password=<12+ non-space chars>
+passwd=<12+ non-space chars>
+secret=<12+ non-space chars>
+api_key=<12+ non-space chars>
+api-key=<12+ non-space chars>
+```
+
+Tests construct the real PEM header dynamically so the scanner's own test source does not contain a
+literal credential-looking header.
+
+## Bundle integrity
+
+The packager continues to enforce:
+
+- exact base→candidate ancestry;
+- before/after file capture;
+- rename/copy/delete handling;
+- path traversal denial;
+- execution evidence symlink denial;
+- secret scan over repository before/after and execution evidence;
+- document index;
+- SHA-256 closure;
+- ZIP without symlinks.
+
+No secret finding is downgraded to a warning.
+
+## Migration
+
+The old handoff script may remain for historical reproducibility, but new handoffs should call the
+repository packager from the verified candidate lineage.
+
+A temporary compatibility scanner is no longer needed once this candidate is in the lineage.

+# Durable Owner Authorization and capability projection
+
+## Problem
+
+AIOS already supports unattended worker execution after a Task is executable, but Owner intent was
+not durable at the capability layer. The same Owner repeatedly had to authorize or repair:
+
+- `governed-task:project`;
+- `release:candidate`.
+
+This caused valid one-time Owner intent to be lost between conversations and forced repeated human
+interaction.
+
+## Design
+
+Durable authorization is represented by a root-owned mode `0600` policy outside Git. The policy is
+persistent until explicitly revoked.
+
+The first persistable capabilities are deliberately narrow:
+
+```text
+governed-task:project
+release:candidate
+```
+
+They cover preparation work only.
+
+The following capabilities can never be inherited from this durable grant:
+
+```text
+submitOwnerApproval
+startDeployment
+tag_publish
+baseline_registry_finalize
+runtime_switch
+main_write
+production_deploy
+force_push
+credential_admin
+```
+
+Those remain separate high-risk release/Owner-signature gates.
+
+## Policy
+
+Example schema:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema": "aios.owner-durable-authorization.v1",
+  "grant_id": "owner-permanent-preparation-20260819",
+  "owner_identity": "owner@example",
+  "account": "chatgpt-governed-implementer-singlehost",
+  "capabilities": [
+    "governed-task:project",
+    "release:candidate"
+  ],
+  "issued_at": "2026-08-19T05:00:00Z",
+  "not_before": "2026-08-19T05:00:00Z",
+  "persistent_until_revoked": true,
+  "constraints": {
+    "repository": "aios/aios",
+    "allowed_target_prefix": "agent/",
+    "release_version_prefix": "V2R2C",
+    "max_task_risk": "engineering"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The repository never stores the live Owner policy or release credential.
+
+## Revocation
+
+A root-owned mode `0600` revocation file lists `revoked_grant_ids`.
+
+Revocation is checked on every operation, not only at service startup. A running broker therefore
+fails closed immediately after revocation without needing a new conversation.
+
+## Broker boundary
+
+The broker exposes only an AF_UNIX socket:
+
+```text
+/run/aios-owner-authorization-broker/broker.sock
+```
+
+The socket is mode `0660` and owned by the service's `aios-executor-exchange` group. This avoids introducing another long-lived bearer secret solely for local broker access.
+
+It exposes only:
+
+```text
+GET  /v1/capabilities
+POST /v1/project-governed-task
+POST /v1/authorize-release-candidate
+```
+
+`project-governed-task` calls only the canonical Bridge.
+
+`authorize-release-candidate` persists an Owner authorization decision only. It deliberately does
+**not** invent a local trusted-builder endpoint. The external release connector remains responsible
+for projecting the account's real `release:candidate` scope. Until that external projection exists,
+the decision state is `AUTHORIZED_PENDING_EXTERNAL_CAPABILITY_PROJECTION`.
+
+The broker holds only the existing host control credential needed for canonical governed-task
+projection. It never holds an Owner signing key or a release/deployment credential. The caller also supplies the expected account identifier over the Unix transport; the OS socket permission is the local access boundary.
+
+
+## Canonical Online Task projection
+
+A durable `governed-task:project` grant may create a complete canonical Online Task rather than a
+bare Task. It requires:
+
+```text
+require_online_task_projection=true
+generation=1
+branch_mode=CREATE_NEW
+max_attempts<=3
+risk<=engineering
+initial action=source_capture
+```
+
+Projected task capabilities are limited to:
+
+```text
+git.read
+git.test
+governed.write.branch
+governed.write.file
+```
+
+A write-capable task still begins as `source_capture`. Existing placeholder-deferral prevents the
+generic worker from claiming it until a deterministic plan is registered. Repository mutation
+therefore still requires the normal deterministic plan, WriterLease and governed commit path.
+
+This fixes the previous split-brain behavior where a bare Task could exist without the canonical
+governed execution projection.
+
+## Idempotency and audit
+
+Every broker operation requires an idempotency key. A receipt SQLite database stores only:
+
+- idempotency key;
+- capability;
+- request SHA-256;
+- response SHA-256;
+- sanitized upstream response;
+- timestamp.
+
+An exact retry returns the same receipt. Reusing an idempotency key with different content fails.
+
+## Unattended invariant
+
+Once the Owner policy and narrow service credentials are provisioned:
+
+```text
+Owner durable grant
+→ broker decision
+→ canonical governed task projection / release candidate preparation
+→ worker / trusted builder
+```
+
+No repeated Owner interaction is required for those preparation capabilities.
+
+Production execution remains:
+
+```text
+release candidate
+→ immutable approval envelope
+→ Owner signature
+→ deployment
+```
+
+The durable grant never substitutes for the Owner signature.

+# Owner-approved GPT HTTPS edge activation and rollback
+
+## Scope
+
+This controller is the final host-side control mechanism before the disabled-by-default GPT HTTPS
+edge may bind publicly.
+
+Repository implementation and public activation remain separate states:
+
+```text
+IMPLEMENTED
+≠
+OWNER_APPROVED
+≠
+ACTIVATED
+≠
+RUNTIME_VERIFIED
+```
+
+The controller never creates owner approval, TLS assets, DNS, firewall rules or ingress bearer
+credentials.
+
+## Approval binding
+
+The owner approval file is root-owned mode `0600` and has schema:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema": "aios.gpt-https-edge.public-approval.v1",
+  "approval_id": "owner-public-edge-...",
+  "candidate_oid": "<exact governed edge candidate>",
+  "domain": "tasks.example.com",
+  "public_bind": true,
+  "bind_host": "0.0.0.0",
+  "port": 18443,
+  "tls_cert_sha256": "<exact certificate sha256>",
+  "issued_at": "2026-08-19T00:00:00Z",
+  "not_before": "2026-08-19T00:00:00Z",
+  "expires_at": "2026-08-20T00:00:00Z",
+  "owner": "<owner identity>"
+}
+```
+
+Approval lifetime is at most seven days. Candidate/domain/bind/port/certificate are immutable within
+one approval.
+
+Changing any of those requires a new owner approval.
+
+## Check
+
+```text
+aios_gpt_https_edge_activation.py check --candidate <GE>
+```
+
+Checks:
+
+- approval ownership/mode/schema/time window;
+- exact candidate binding;
+- exact certificate hash;
+- certificate/private-key pair;
+- certificate hostname;
+- certificate remaining lifetime;
+- loopback GPT ingress service health.
+
+It performs no public network mutation.
+
+## Activate
+
+`activate` additionally:
+
+- writes one exact systemd public-bind drop-in atomically;
+- enables/restarts only the HTTPS edge unit;
+- verifies effective ExecStart points at the immutable candidate release;
+- verifies effective public-bind/domain environment;
+- performs a TLS handshake to `127.0.0.1:18443` using the approved public hostname;
+- writes a durable activation receipt.
+
+Any failure after drop-in mutation automatically invokes rollback.
+
+Exact replay of an already-active matching approval returns the durable receipt without restarting
+or creating duplicate state.
+
+## Rollback
+
+`rollback`:
+
+- stops and disables only the HTTPS edge;
+- removes only the controller-owned public-bind drop-in;
+- daemon-reloads systemd;
+- verifies edge inactive;
+- writes a durable rollback receipt.
+
+It does not delete:
+
+- owner approval;
+- TLS certificate/private key;
+- ingress bearer token;
+- internal loopback ingress;
+- Task/Job state;
+- Git branches.
+
+Rollback is therefore replay-safe and does not require reconstructing secrets.
+
+## Not covered
+
+This controller intentionally does not own:
+
+- DNS records;
+- host firewall/NAT/security-group changes;
+- certificate issuance/renewal;
+- OpenAI Custom GPT domain verification;
+- public Internet acceptance from outside the host.
+
+Those remain separate owner/environment gates.

+# Disabled-by-default HTTPS edge for external GPT Online Task access
+
+## Purpose
+
+The internal ingress (`127.0.0.1:18945`) remains loopback-only. This edge is the only component
+allowed to become Internet-facing, and only after a separate owner approval.
+
+It forwards only:
+
+```text
+POST /v1/read-only-tasks
+GET  /v1/read-only-tasks/{request_id}
+GET  /openapi.json
+GET  /health
+```
+
+It never proxies:
+
+```text
+18892 canonical Bridge
+18940 Task API
+WriterLease
+commit
+verification
+release
+tag
+baseline
+arbitrary URLs
+```
+
+## Default state
+
+The systemd unit is disabled by policy unless the owner creates:
+
+```text
+/etc/aios-gitops/gpt-https-edge.approved
+```
+
+The base unit still binds only to:
+
+```text
+127.0.0.1:18443
+AIOS_GPT_EDGE_PUBLIC_BIND_APPROVED=0
+```
+
+Non-loopback bind is rejected by code unless an owner-controlled drop-in sets:
+
+```text
+AIOS_GPT_EDGE_PUBLIC_BIND_APPROVED=1
+AIOS_GPT_EDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0
+AIOS_GPT_EDGE_PUBLIC_DOMAIN=<approved hostname>
+```
+
+This repository candidate does not create that drop-in or approval marker.
+
+## TLS
+
+TLS certificate/key are owner-managed systemd credentials:
+
+```text
+/etc/aios-gitops/gpt-https-edge-tls.crt
+/etc/aios-gitops/gpt-https-edge-tls.key
+```
+
+The service requires TLS 1.2 or newer, disables TLS compression, and never logs or returns key
+material.
+
+Certificate/key issuance and renewal are external owner responsibilities until a separately
+governed ACME workflow is implemented.
+
+## Request protections
+
+The edge provides:
+
+- 64 KiB request cap;
+- 256 KiB upstream response cap;
+- JSON validation before proxying;
+- fixed upstream `http://127.0.0.1:18945`;
+- Authorization-only header forwarding;
+- no Cookie/X-Forwarded-* trust;
+- route/method allowlist;
+- per-source-IP in-memory rate limiting;
+- bounded concurrent request handling;
+- optional exact Host-header enforcement;
+- HSTS / no-store / nosniff / no-referrer response headers.
+
+The rate limiter is intentionally simple and local. Multi-node/global abuse protection is outside
+the current one-host architecture.
+
+## Authentication
+
+The HTTPS edge does not create a new authentication scheme. It forwards the external Bearer
+credential to the loopback GPT ingress, which verifies `gpt_ingress_token`.
+
+The edge never receives the AIOS control-plane token.
+
+## Deployment boundary
+
+Public activation is a high-risk network operation and requires explicit owner approval. Before
+activation verify:
+
+```text
+host-side GPT ingress E2E=VERIFIED
+owner ingress token provisioned
+TLS certificate/key provisioned
+public hostname owned and DNS configured
+firewall/network exposure reviewed
+explicit public-bind approval recorded
+rollback plan available
+```
+
+Only after those gates may an owner-authorized runtime drop-in bind this service publicly.
+
+Until then:
+
+```text
+GPT_HTTPS_EDGE_IMPLEMENTATION=candidate
+PUBLIC_NETWORK_EXPOSURE=NONE
+PUBLIC_CUSTOM_GPT_DIRECT_AI0S_ACCESS=NOT_VERIFIED
+```

+# External GPT → Online Task ingress
+
+## Scope
+
+This component closes the current architectural gap between an external Custom GPT and AIOS
+without exposing the internal Task API (`18940`) or canonical Bridge (`18892`) directly.
+
+The first supported public-facing capability is intentionally read-only:
+
+```text
+authenticated external intent
+→ host-side ingress
+→ canonical /v2/governed-task
+→ canonical /v2/execution-envelope
+→ persistent generic worker
+→ source_capture result
+→ official control-plane verification
+```
+
+The ingress itself never claims, heartbeats, verifies, commits, acquires WriterLease, or writes
+protected refs.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+The service binds only to loopback (`127.0.0.1:18945`). A future owner-approved TLS reverse proxy
+or tunnel may expose this service externally. Direct non-loopback binding is denied by code.
+
+Two independent credentials are projected by systemd:
+
+- `gpt_ingress_token`: authenticates the external caller to this ingress.
+- `agent_task_control_token`: lets the ingress call the loopback AIOS control plane.
+
+Neither credential is stored in Git, SQLite, task payloads, results, logs, or API responses.
+
+The ingress has no repository filesystem access.
+
+## Caller-controlled fields
+
+Allowed:
+
+```text
+request_id
+goal
+instructions
+success_criteria
+constraints.max_files
+constraints.focus_paths
+constraints.notes
+```
+
+Not caller-controlled:
+
+```text
+repository
+base_oid
+expected_branch_oid
+target_branch
+branch_mode
+generation
+risk
+priority
+max_attempts
+capabilities
+action/adapter
+WriterLease
+worker identity
+credentials
+verification decision
+main/production/tag/baseline permissions
+```
+
+All external tasks are hard-bound to:
+
+```text
+repository=aios/aios
+capabilities=[git.read, git.test]
+action=source_capture
+writer_lease=false
+repository_mutation=forbidden
+control_plane_side_effects=forbidden
+credential_access=forbidden
+```
+
+## Idempotency
+
+`request_id` is the durable external idempotency boundary.
+
+The ingress stores only:
+
+```text
+request hash
+derived AIOS task id
+canonical job id
+base oid
+sanitized receipt
+state
+```
+
+An exact retry returns the same receipt. Reusing a `request_id` with different content returns
+`IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT`.
+
+A crash after canonical task creation can recover the same binding from the Task API rather than
+creating a replacement Task.
+
+## Status
+
+`GET /v1/read-only-tasks/{request_id}` returns only sanitized state:
+
+```text
+task/job ids
+status
+attempt
+whether claimed
+result classification
+official verification decision/classification
+source snapshot hash/count when available
+```
+
+It does not proxy raw Task metadata, execution envelopes, result text, credentials, or source files.
+
+## Public exposure
+
+This candidate does **not** make AIOS publicly reachable. Public exposure requires a separately
+approved HTTPS ingress/reverse proxy with:
+
+- TLS;
+- external authentication lifecycle;
+- rate limiting / abuse controls;
+- request size limits;
+- observability;
+- explicit owner approval for the network exposure.
+
+Until that step is verified:
+
+```text
+HOST_SIDE_EXTERNAL_GPT_ADAPTER=implemented/staging-candidate
+PUBLIC_CUSTOM_GPT_DIRECT_AI0S_ACCESS=not verified
+```
