Second half of the tier-4/5 sweep, on top of #147, #148 and #152. Split from the security half at ~60 files each. bun run verify green (14/17, 3 intentionally skipped); reference-app ratchet unchanged.

★ The gate hole was live, not latent

maskLiterals treated ' as a string opener, so an apostrophe in JSX text blanked everything to the next quote — and scanFixes returned nothing for the rest of the file while scanCodes kept passing, masking the hole.

packages/http/src/errors.ts contains …already route "${input.otherRoute}"'s. So eight real fix: lines in that file had never been checked by x verify — lines 330, 331, 361, 368, 384, 401, 417, 430. All eight pass now.

One consequence found on the way: a test asserted "nothing in the installed framework raises X_DRAINING" — disproved by draining() at errors.ts:426-431, in the very file the gate had stopped reading. That test now derives an unindexed code instead of naming one.

The fix is the cheap one, and its gap is stated rather than hidden: a quote with no partner on its own line is text, copying the rule endOfRegex already applies. Two apostrophes on one line still blank the span between them. Blast radius drops from rest of file to one line. Full coverage needs a JSX tokenizer, which the file's own header explicitly rules out.

agent() sent the API a transcript it rejects — in two places

A turn emitting a tool call and respond replayed the respond tool_use with no matching tool_result → 400.

My brief named only that path. The agent found the repair path has the same hole and is far more reachable: agent.ts emitted assistantTurn(result) — which replays the respond block — followed by a plain user message. So any output-schema mismatch in an agent() run was a 400. llm.ts:421's comment states the rule agent.ts broke.

The loop now answers the superseded respond with an is_error result — superseded, read the results and call respond again. Considered and rejected: stripping the block (deletes the record and tells the model nothing) and using the speculative answer (the turn's tools have already run, side effects committed, and the answer was composed before their results existed — returning it discards exactly the data the model asked for). Stated cost: a model that emits respond every turn alongside a tool call can now exhaust maxTurns.

Object.hasOwn alone was not enough

MCP's additionalProperties: false accepted and silently dropped every argument named after an Object.prototype member — constructor, __proto__, toString. Third instance of this class in one release, after @ultimat3/i18n's catalog and @ultimat3/schema's coercion.

The fix I prescribed had a second-order hazard the agent caught: Object.hasOwn converts the __proto__ drop into a __proto__ re-prototype of the record the handler then reads. Every write now goes through Object.defineProperty.

The rest

Finding Effect
every inline <script> body counted as JS a page with zero executable JavaScript failed its JS budget, with a fix: naming an import that does not exist. render's head.ts already owned the rule: "the body is data, not code"
--workers had no maximum x verify --workers 5000 accepted although both summaries say "max 8"; planShards clamps only to file count → 842 concurrent Bun processes. Both summaries also named CPUs - 1, a default the code measured and rejected as "slower than not sharding at all"
isHttpRoot required parentSpanId === undefined any request arriving with an inbound traceparent — instrumented client, ingress, mesh — never appeared in /_x/timeline. The file disagreed with itself; toTrace already handled the case
metrics endpoint a second x dev died with a bare Error on EADDRINUSE (no code, no fix:) while X_PORT_IN_USE was already registered; and METRICS_PORT was honoured in the container but ignored in dev
exec.ts a missing binary produced fix: x doctor --json, and runDoctor checks nothing about missing binaries — a dead end
tsconfig-references.ts a root tsconfig.json written as JSONC made Bun.file().json() reject, .catch(() => undefined) read that as "no project references", and X_PACKAGE_UNREFERENCED went dark silently while tsc accepted the file

Plus seven more instances of the caught-value totality class in ai and mcp — a tool result that could not be serialised took down the tool loop; a hostile provider rejection escaped the gateway's retry classifier; the MCP server's error renderer read four fields off a value the framework did not build. A tool whose output is unserialisable now reports that the tool ran, never that it failed, so the model does not re-buy the side effects.

Where the agents corrected the brief

  • The dev-assets premise was wrong, and so was my proposed remedy. parseImageQuery does bound width — MAX_IMAGE_WIDTH = 8192, enforced, with a comment naming the amplification. And clamping to DEFAULT_WIDTHS alone would refuse the widest entry of every real srcset, because usableWidths appends the source's intrinsic width when it is not one of the eight. The fix is DEFAULT_WIDTHS ∪ {intrinsic}, pinned by a test.
  • My x help <cmd> claim was falsecmd-help.ts renders the full flag list directly (confirmed with bun run x -- help new, which prints --force). The real drift was smaller: the wiki documented flags the specs' usage lines omitted.
  • describe.ts was a non-finding, correctly dropped with evidence: it wraps toJsonSchema in a try and falls through deliberately, raising no refusal and carrying no fix: string at all.
  • MetricsPortInUseError lives in metrics-endpoint.ts rather than errors.ts, because errors.ts is 489 lines and the smallest defensible class would put it at 504 — over the ceiling filesize enforces. CLAUDE.md records the exception rather than silently breaking the stated rule; db-seed.ts is the precedent.

Deferred

⚠️ cmd-dev.test.ts (497) and cmd-verify.test.ts (495) now have ~3 lines of headroom against the 500 ceiling. A split is the honest next move for whoever touches them.

… for a whole file

Second half of the tier-4/5 sweep, split from #152 at ~60 files each.

The gate hole was LIVE, not latent. `maskLiterals` treated `'` as a string
opener, so an apostrophe in JSX text blanked everything up to the next quote and
`scanFixes` returned nothing for the rest of the file — while `scanCodes` kept
passing, masking it. `packages/http/src/errors.ts` contains
`…already route "${input.otherRoute}"'s`, so EIGHT real `fix:` lines in that file
had never been checked by `x verify`. All eight pass now. One test asserted
"nothing in the installed framework raises X_DRAINING" — disproved by `draining()`
in the very file the gate had stopped reading.

The chosen fix is the cheap one — a quote with no partner on its own line is text,
copying `endOfRegex`'s existing rule — and its gap is stated rather than hidden:
two apostrophes on one line still blank the span between them. Blast radius drops
from rest-of-file to one line. Full coverage needs a JSX tokenizer, which the
file's own header rules out.

`agent()` sent Anthropic a transcript it rejects, in TWO places. A turn emitting a
tool call and `respond` together replayed the `respond` tool_use with no matching
tool_result. The repair path had the same hole and is far more reachable: ANY
output-schema mismatch in an agent() run was a 400. The loop now answers the
superseded `respond` with an is_error result telling the model to read the tool
results and answer again — rather than discarding a block the model emitted, or
using an answer composed before the tools it called had run.

MCP's `additionalProperties: false` accepted and dropped every argument named
after an Object.prototype member. Third instance of the class this release, and
`Object.hasOwn` alone was NOT sufficient — it turns the `__proto__` drop into a
`__proto__` re-prototype of the record the handler reads, so every write goes
through Object.defineProperty.

A page with zero executable JavaScript could fail its JS budget, with a fix line
naming an import that does not exist. `x verify --workers 5000` was accepted
although both summaries say max 8 — 842 concurrent Bun processes, each with the
module graph and a cloned database.

Plus seven more instances of the caught-value totality class in ai and mcp, and
the smaller CLI set: dev-traces dropping every request that arrived with an
inbound traceparent, a bare Error on a taken metrics port, METRICS_PORT ignored
in dev, a missing binary whose fix line checks nothing about missing binaries,
JSONC in a root tsconfig silently disabling X_PACKAGE_UNREFERENCED.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request hardens AI and MCP error handling, repairs agent transcripts, corrects CLI validation and runtime behavior, supports JSONC TypeScript configs, fixes trace and metrics handling, limits image-cache persistence, and reports manifest sizes in UTF-8 bytes.

Changes

AI transcript and failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transcript replay and repair
packages/ai/src/agent-transcript.ts, packages/ai/src/agent.ts, packages/ai/src/agent-transcript.test.ts
Assistant tool calls now remain paired with executed or rejected results. Schema-repair paths emit matching correction messages.
Throwable and pool normalization
packages/ai/src/gateway.ts, packages/ai/src/tools.ts, packages/ai/src/hive-pool.ts, packages/ai/src/hive-result.ts, packages/ai/src/*test.ts
Provider, tool, and hive failures safely handle arbitrary thrown values. Pool results distinguish aborted members from members with no input.

CLI validation and runtime behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Static scanning and worker validation
packages/cli/src/ts-scan.ts, packages/cli/src/tsconfig-references.ts, packages/cli/src/budgets.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-test.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-verify.ts
Apostrophe-aware scanning, JSONC parsing, JSON-script exclusion, and configured worker ceilings are enforced. Roadmap applicability now checks for the roadmap file.
Ports, execution, traces, and assets
packages/cli/src/serve.ts, packages/cli/src/metrics-endpoint.ts, packages/cli/src/exec.ts, packages/cli/src/dev-traces.ts, packages/cli/src/dev-assets.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-doctor.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-db-branch.ts
Metrics ports use shared resolution and structured collision errors. Missing binaries receive actionable errors. Inbound trace parents remain visible. Image variants outside mintable widths are served without persistence.
CLI storage and documentation alignment
packages/cli/src/dev-storage.ts, packages/cli/src/dev-roles.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-help.test.ts, packages/cli/src/cmd-new.ts, packages/cli/CLAUDE.md
Storage routes use the shared signed URL base. Usage text and operational documentation reflect current behavior.

Manifest and MCP behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest byte accounting
packages/manifest/src/emit.ts, packages/manifest/src/emit.test.ts
Manifest results now report UTF-8 byte length.
MCP validation and serialization
packages/mcp/src/validate-args.ts, packages/mcp/src/registry.ts, packages/mcp/src/query-limits.ts, packages/mcp/src/server.ts, packages/mcp/src/*test.ts
Prototype-named arguments are validated and copied safely. Non-JSON values produce bounded error results. Hostile thrown values produce sanitized internal errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f3c02

The PR improves error handling, validation, tracing, and AI/MCP reliability, but the current head still emits a security-sensitive shell-quoting defect and an unusable port-conflict fix at port 65535, with smaller validation gaps. These bounded issues should be fixed before merge.

…t this package's

CI caught a test I added in this PR. `metrics-endpoint.test.ts` bound a live port a
second time and expected `Bun.serve` to throw EADDRINUSE. It does locally. GitHub's
runner allowed the second bind, so the test failed for a reason that was never this
package's contract — a flaky test in the gate is worse than no test.

Rewritten to assert the MAPPING, which is what is actually ours: an EADDRINUSE-shaped
throw becomes a coded refusal naming the port and the knob that moves it. Whether the
OS refuses a rebind is decided elsewhere and does not answer the same way everywhere.

`isAddressInUse` was also an instance of the class this whole sweep has been fixing:
`error instanceof Error && error.code === 'EADDRINUSE'` runs `getPrototypeOf` and then
a getter on a value this process did not build. It reads through core's `stringField`
now, which also makes it answer correctly for a bind failure that crossed a worker or
a subprocess — a plain object carrying the libc code, for which `instanceof Error` is
false. That case is the one the mutation check bites on.

Replace the bare Error fixtures with contract-compliant foreign values.

Keep the hostile getter, Proxy-trap, stream, abort, and serialization coverage, but do not construct bare Error values in these tests. Use symbols for trap throws, plain error-like records for foreign message cases, and an UltimateError subclass with a stable code, cause, and executable fix where the fixture represents a repository error.

Affected locations include the MCP registry and server tests, plus the AI gateway, hive-pool, and tools tests.

Move the MCP error text into t().

jsonResult sends this text to the MCP caller. It is user-facing. Move it to the message catalog and render it through t().

As per coding guidelines, “Do not hardcode user-facing strings.” As per path instructions, a hardcoded user-facing string is a hard blocker.

… a fix line named port 65536

Review round on #158. Four of CodeRabbit's seven applied, three declined, plus one
finding the review surfaced in a package it did not name.

The best catch is a bug I wrote in this very PR. `cmd-doctor` emitted
`fix: x dev --port 65536` for `--port 65535`, and this PR added `neighbouringPort`
to close it — then `metrics-endpoint.ts` shipped `METRICS_PORT=${port + 1}`, the
identical off-by-one, in new code. `neighbouringPort` moved to `flag-number.ts`
beside `PORT_RANGE`, the constant that bounds it, and both call it now.

`carriesJson` tested whether the type attribute ends in `json`, so a real document's
`application/ld+json; charset=utf-8` did not match. In `budgets.ts` that counted an
SEO structured-data block as executable JavaScript again — the bug this PR exists to
fix, still reachable through the spelling every real document uses.

The same predicate exists in `@ultimat3/render`, where it chooses the ESCAPER, and
the review did not name that copy. There a charset parameter sent the JSON-LD block
— built from route data, which is the path attacker text takes — to
`escapeRawTextContent` instead of `escapeJsonContent`. Not a break-out: `</` is
escaped either way. But the JSON rule is total on purpose (`<`, `>`, `&`, U+2028,
U+2029) so nothing survives that could spell `</script` after any transformation, and
a charset is not a reason to leave it. Both copies now cut the MIME parameter first.

Also: `exec.ts`'s missing-binary fix interpolated the program name into a shell line
unquoted, so a name with a space produced a `fix:` that does not run — it uses the
`quoteArg` the repo already ships, moved to a leaf module because `exec.ts` importing
`test-shards.ts` would have closed a cycle onto the CLI's one subprocess boundary.
And `x verify`'s flag summary promised `min 2` while its reader accepted 1.

Declined: moving `MetricsPortInUseError` into `errors.ts` (489 lines; the class puts
it at ~504, over the ceiling `filesize` enforces — `db-seed.ts` is the precedent and
CLAUDE.md records the exception), replacing hostile-value test fixtures with coded
errors (their purpose is to be values the framework did not build), and rendering an
MCP result string through `t()` (`packages/mcp` has no `t()` in source, and
`from-action.ts:45` states why: it would make a published artifact locale-dependent).

Four applied in 7d93491, three declined — plus one finding this review surfaced in a package it did not name.

The best catch is a bug I wrote in this PR

metrics-endpoint.ts shipped METRICS_PORT=${input.port + 1}, so port 65535 produced METRICS_PORT=65536 — out of range. This PR fixes the identical off-by-one in cmd-doctor.ts (x doctor --port 65535 suggesting x dev --port 65536) and adds neighbouringPort to close it. I then wrote the same bug into new code two files away.

neighbouringPort was reusable — pure, (port: number) => number, nothing doctor-specific in the body. It moved to flag-number.ts beside PORT_RANGE, the constant that bounds it, rather than being copied; a second "ports are bounded" rule is exactly the drift that constant exists to prevent.

The one you found in cli also exists in render, where it picks the escaper

carriesJson tested type.endsWith('json'), so application/ld+json; charset=utf-8 — the spelling real documents use — did not match. In budgets.ts that counts an SEO structured-data block as executable JavaScript again, i.e. the bug this PR exists to fix, still reachable.

packages/render/src/head.ts:138 has the same predicate, and there it selects the escaper. A charset parameter sent the JSON-LD block — built from route data, which is the path attacker text takes — to escapeRawTextContent instead of escapeJsonContent.

Stated precisely, because it matters: this is not a break-out. </ is escaped either way, so </script> was blocked. What was lost is that the JSON rule is total on purpose — <, >, &, U+2028, U+2029 — so that nothing survives which could spell </script or <!-- after any later transformation. A charset parameter is not a reason to drop to the narrow rule. Both copies now cut the MIME parameter before the suffix test, and the regression test fails against the old predicate.

The other two

  • exec.ts interpolated the program name into a shell line unquoted, twice, so a name with a space produced a fix: that does not run. Uses the quoteArg the repo already ships — moved to a leaf module, because exec.ts importing test-shards.ts would have closed an import cycle onto the CLI's single subprocess boundary.

  • readWorkers's floor. Applied, though for a sharper reason than "two statements of one number": cmd-verify.ts:400 already renders min ${WORKER_FLOOR} in the flag summary, so x help verify promised a minimum of 2 while the reader accepted 1 — the exact defect the neighbouring max test guards. x verify --workers 1 is now X_CLI_BAD_FLAG; nothing in the repo invokes it.

    x test --workers 1 was deliberately left accepted. cmd-test.ts clamps the effective width to the file count, so a one-file corpus makes reproduceFor emit x test <type> --workers 1 --worker 0 as X_TEST_SHARD_FAILED's own fix:. Raising that floor would break a shipped instruction. A comment records why, and its summary/reader inconsistency is left standing on purpose.

Declined

Housekeeping

cmd-verify.test.ts was at 495 lines and the new floor assertions would have breached 500, so it was split by responsibility — the two pure flag-reader tests moved to verify-workers.test.ts, leaving the step-engine tests with their fixtures. cmd-verify.test.ts is now 466.

Earlier red run on this PR: metrics-endpoint.test.ts bound a live port twice expecting EADDRINUSE — true locally, false on GitHub's runner. Rewritten to assert the mapping rather than kernel behaviour, and isAddressInUse was itself an instance of the totality class (instanceof Error plus a property read on a caught value); it reads through core's stringField now, which also makes it correct for a bind failure that crossed a worker.
