 - Atomic writes (temp + rename) and a per-file backup ring (last 5) under the data dir.
 
+As built at slice 022: the roots are `config :trinity, :fs, roots:` (`TRINITY_FS_ROOTS` at runtime), the data
+directory always, and the session's working directory; a path is judged after normalisation and symlink
+resolution through its nearest existing ancestor; outside the roots every filesystem tool escalates the call to
+`:ask` (the tier can only rise: `Tool.escalate/2`, `Permissions.effective_tier/2`); the placeholder hook is
+`Trinity.Tools.FS.Placeholders`, applied to `fs_write`'s content and `fs_edit`'s replacement, and
+`allow_placeholders` raises the call to `:destructive`; backups live under `<data dir>/backups/<sha256 of the
+path>/`, five per file, `Trinity.Tools.FS.restore/2` puts one back through the same atomic write.
+
+## Provenance (Slice 022, M1 as built)
+
+Every tool result that came from outside the app is a `Trinity.Content.Part` tainted `untrusted` with a SHA-256
+digest, stored on the `tool` row (`parts.content_parts`, `parts.taint`); the prompt builder renders it inside
+`<untrusted source= ref= digest=>` and the system prompt states that instructions inside such blocks are data;
+a turn's assistant row carries the maximum taint of everything the model read (its history and the turn's tool
+results), so a summary of an untrusted page is itself untrusted, and every later turn in that session is too.
+`blocked` parts are rendered as a placeholder; nothing writes one yet (024's receipts and the sentinel are where
+a block comes from). `web_fetch` refuses no page by content, runs no JavaScript, and escalates a URL whose host
+is not public (loopback, private, link-local) to `:ask`.

+# Slice 022: NOTES
+
+## Two decisions the spec asks for before the slice, taken at G1 (open to the owner's veto)
+
+**The Windows shell.** MuonTrap 2.0.0 (hex, 2026-08-13) is a C port wrapper built with `elixir_make`: `fork`,
+`exec`, SIGTERM then SIGKILL after `:delay_to_sigkill`, optional cgroup v2 limits (read from its tarball in a
+scratch directory, `lib/muontrap.ex` and `c_src/muontrap.c`). It does not build on Windows, and the guarantee
+docs/02 chose it for (the child dies when the Task dies) has no Windows implementation in the tree. Decision:
+**the shell tool is POSIX-only at this slice.** `muontrap` is declared in `mix.exs` only where `:os.type/0` is
+`:unix` (the same shape as `postgrex` behind `TRINITY_DB`), the shell tool answers `available?/0` false on
+Windows and the registry skips it with a logged reason, docs/07 states the guarantee per platform, and the
+approval card says which applies. A Windows runtime (job objects) is a later slice's measurement, named in
+the follow-ups; a `System.cmd` fallback that can orphan a process is not offered.
+
+**The search provider.** Brave Search API: one JSON request, a key in `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY`, results as
+title, url, description. The alternatives: Tavily and Exa are LLM-oriented and return page content (more
+to redact, more to wrap); DuckDuckGo-HTML is a scrape of a page that changes. `Trinity.Tools.Web.SearchProvider`
+is the behaviour; `Brave` its one implementation; `Fake` for tests; the live test is tagged and manual (AC6).
+
+## G1 plan, 2026-09-20
+
+Tree at `808897b` on `main` (021 approved); branch `slice/022-core-tools`; ROADMAP row 022 to `in_progress` in
+this commit. Each line names its test.
+
+1. `chore(s022)`: `floki ~> 0.38` and `muontrap ~> 2.0` (POSIX only in `deps/0`); VERSIONS rows.
+2. `Trinity.Content.Part` (`origin`, `source_ref`, `digest`, `taint`, `text`; `max_taint/1`) and
+   `Trinity.Tools.Untrusted.wrap/2` (a Part tainted `untrusted` with a SHA-256 digest); `Result` carries
+   `parts`; the tool row stores them (`parts.content_parts`, `parts.taint`); the Session tracks the turn's
+   maximum taint and writes it on the assistant row; `Prompt` renders a tainted tool row inside
+   `<untrusted source= digest=>` and the system prompt states the rule. Tests (AC11): a summary turn over an
+   untrusted page carries `taint: untrusted`; an instruction inside the page is rendered inside the wrapper
+   and nowhere else in the request.
+3. The escalation hook: `Tool.escalate/2` (optional; args and context to a tier, or `:ask`, or nil) may only
+   raise a call's tier; the runner passes it as `escalate:` and `Policy.Layered` takes the higher of the name's
+   tier and it. Test: an escalation raises `read` to `ask`; an escalation can never lower.
+4. `Trinity.Tools.FS`: roots from `config :trinity, :fs, roots:` plus the session's cwd; `resolve/2`
+   normalises, follows symlinks, and answers `{:ok, path} | {:error, :outside_roots}`; `backup/1` (a ring of
+   five per file under `<data dir>/backups/<sha256 of path>/`), `restore/2`; the write-validation hook
+   (`Trinity.Tools.FS.Placeholders.find/1`: `/* ... */`, `// ... rest`, `# ... rest unchanged` and kin). Tools
+   `FS.Read` (lines with offset and limit, a size cap), `FS.Write` (atomic temp and rename, backup first,
+   `allow_placeholders` escalates to `:destructive`), `FS.Edit` (unique search, replace, a unified diff in the
+   result), `FS.List`, `FS.Glob`, `FS.Grep` (regex, file and match caps). Every read outside the roots escalates
+   to `:ask`. Tests: AC1 to AC4 and each tool's shape.
+5. `Trinity.Tools.Web.Fetch` (Req; timeout 20 s; 1 MB cap; `text/html` through Floki with script, style, nav,
+   header, footer, aside removed and the body's text taken; `text/*` raw; anything else a descriptive error;
+   the result an untrusted Part) and `Web.Search` over the provider. Tests: AC5 against a Bandit test server on
+   the loopback (`Trinity.NetworkGuard` allows loopback), AC6's fake half.
+6. `Trinity.Tools.Shell.Run` (POSIX): `MuonTrap.cmd("/bin/sh", ["-c", cmd], cd:, env:, timeout:)`, the cwd
+   inside the roots, the environment scrubbed to `PATH`, `HOME`, `LANG`, `TERM` and `TMPDIR`, timeout 120 s by
+   default and capped, output 1 MB with the head and the tail kept, risk `:exec`, `Shell.Dangerous.match/1`
+   (a pattern list: `rm -rf /`, `curl … | sh`, `sudo`, `chmod 777`, `mkfs`, `dd of=/dev`, `> /dev/sd`, fork
+   bombs, `git push --force`) escalating to `:destructive`; `available?/0`. Tests: AC7 (`sleep 10` at 1 s:
+   killed, `ps` shows no `sleep`), AC8 (Mox policy sees `escalate: :destructive`), AC9 (`env` prints no secret).
+7. Toolsets `:fs`, `:web`, `:shell` and the core modules in `config/config.exs` (dev and prod); the test config
+   adds them beside the test tools. `Permissions.tier/1` now answers for real names.
+8. docs/07 (shell per platform, filesystem as built), docs/01 (the tools tree), docs/03 (toolsets), VERSIONS.
+9. AC10: the end-to-end run recorded here with the chromium driver (playwright's video, converted to a GIF with
+   the ffmpeg in its cache) on the test registry with the fake provider scripting the calls; the owner's own
+   run is the manual queue.
+10. Gate, coverage row, PROOF.md, ROADMAP to `done`, pull request (signed merge body), tag.
+
+Manual verification queue, for the owner at G4:
+- **AC6**: `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY=… TRINITY_LIVE=1 mix test --only live test/trinity/tools/web/search_live_test.exs`:
+  the real provider answers with titles and urls; the test prints counts and hosts, never the key or the
+  descriptions.
+- **AC10**: `scripts/dev_chat_on_test_registry.sh` (or the fake flag in dev) and "list the files in the project
+  and summarise the README": a `fs_list` call runs without asking, a `fs_read` of README.md runs, the summary
+  arrives; a write asks. GIF in `proof/`.
+
+Deviations from SLICE.md, stated before building: tool names are the flat `fs_read`, `fs_write`, `fs_edit`,
+`fs_list`, `fs_glob`, `fs_grep`, `web_fetch`, `web_search`, `shell` (the tier is a function of the name; a dotted
+or namespaced core name would read as dynamic); `<untrusted>` wrapping is the Part's rendering, not a string
+the tool returns (the M1 alignment says so); the search provider is Brave unless the owner names another;
+the shell is POSIX-only (above); `Web.Fetch` does no JavaScript and says so in its description.
+
+## Lines 1 to 9, 2026-09-20: what was built, and what building it found
+
+**Built.** As planned: `Content.Part`, `Tools.Untrusted`, `Result.parts`, the turn's taint on the Session and the
+assistant row, the prompt's `<untrusted>` rendering and rule; `Tool.escalate/2` and `available?/0`,
+`Permissions.effective_tier/2`; `Tools.FS` with the six tools and `FS.Placeholders`; `Web.Fetch`,
+`SearchProvider` (Brave, Fake), `Web.Search`; `Shell.Run` and `Shell.Dangerous`; the catalog's first entry
+(`shell`, `:exec`); the toolsets in config; the card's platform note; two scripts under `scripts/` that serve the
+chat on the test registry with scripted turns (the second is AC10's).
+
+**Found while building, each recorded rather than smoothed.**
+
+1. **A port's `env:` adds to the environment; it does not replace it.** The first shell version handed MuonTrap
+   the seven kept names and the child still saw every key (AC9 red: `TRINITY_TEST_SECRET_KEY=sk-…` in the
+   output). Every other name in Trinity's environment is now passed as `nil`, which unsets it.
+2. **`Req` retries a 500 three times by default**, seven seconds for a page that says no; `retry: false` on the
+   fetch, a tool call being one attempt.
+3. **`config/runtime.exs` runs after `config/test.exs`**, so the Brave default there overrode the test config's
+   fake and AC6's fake test hit "no search key". The runtime default is set for every environment but test.
+4. **The web tests use `Req`'s `plug:` option**, not a Bandit server on the loopback as SLICE.md said: a Plug
+   answers in-process and no socket is opened, which is stronger for "tests must not hit the network"; the
+   `NetworkGuard` chokepoint cannot see Req in any case (its stated limit).
+5. **sobelow's traversal check fires on every filesystem tool by construction**: a path that is the model's
+   argument is the tool's whole purpose. Each function carries a scoped skip whose reason names the actual
+   control (the roots after symlink resolution, the escalation, the gate).
+6. **Playwright's bundled ffmpeg has no GIF muxer and no filter graph**: the frames were extracted with it and
+   assembled with ImageMagick's `convert`; the GIF is 724 KB, 31 frames at four a second.
+7. **A fresh screenshot database has no tables under Mix**: `skip_migrations?/0` is true wherever Mix is loaded
+   (the 013 fix), so the serving scripts migrate by hand after the application starts.
+8. **`fs_list` on the project directory asks** in the AC10 run, because the session has no working directory
+   and the project is not a configured root: the approvals in the GIF are the design working, and the follow-up
+   is 033's project context, which gives a session a cwd.
+9. **Credo's nesting and `with` rules** reshaped `fs_read`, `fs_list` and `fs_grep` (a `case` and a helper each).
+
+```
+$ mix test test/trinity/tools/fs test/trinity/tools/web test/trinity/tools/shell test/trinity/tools/provenance_test.exs → 23 passed, 1 excluded (live)
+$ mix gate                                        → exit 0; 255 passed, 11 excluded; plan_check: PASS
+$ mix test --cover                                → 74.85% total (Shell.Run 100%, FS 91.67%, Fetch 81.94%, Part 80%)
+$ mix credo --strict --all                        → 1059 mods/funs, found no issues
+```
+
+## Follow-ups
+- A Windows shell runtime with a kill guarantee (job objects) is a slice of its own; until then the shell is
+  absent there and the card says so.
+- 033 gives a session a working directory (the project's), so `fs_list` and `fs_read` on it run without asking.
+- `blocked` parts: nothing writes one; 024's receipts and the sentinel decide when a part is blocked.
+- The live search test needs `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY` in `.env`; the owner's manual queue.
+- `Web.Fetch` reads no PDF; a text extractor for it is a small later addition to the same tool.
+- `FS.restore/2` has no tool or UI; 034 (export, import, restore) is its natural surface.

+# Proof for slice 022: Core tools: filesystem, web, shell
+
+Agent: Trinity · Coding Agent · Date: 2026-09-20 · Branch: slice/022-core-tools · Final commit: (the commit carrying this file; named in the closing correction)
+
+## Summary
+The first useful toolset: six filesystem tools behind roots judged after symlink resolution, with the
+write-validation hook, atomic writes and a backup ring; a web fetch that extracts readable text without running
+JavaScript and a web search behind a provider behaviour (Brave, with a fake); a shell under MuonTrap with a
+scrubbed environment, a timeout that kills, an output cap and a dangerous-pattern tripwire. Every result from
+outside the app is a tainted content part with a digest, rendered to the model inside an `<untrusted>` block the
+system prompt names as data, and a turn's answer inherits the maximum taint of what it read (M1). A tool can only
+raise its own tier from its arguments. Two decisions taken at G1 (NOTES.md): the shell is POSIX-only, and the
+search provider is Brave. Nine findings in NOTES.md; the sharpest is that a port's environment option adds rather
+than replaces, which AC9's red caught.

+
+## Acceptance criteria evidence
+
+### AC1 [auto]: Read outside the allowlist → :ask, not a silent failure; inside → content
+`AC1: the roots ...`: inside a root, `fs_read` answers numbered lines as an untrusted part and `escalate/2` is
+nil; a file outside escalates to `:ask` and `Permissions.decide/4` with that escalation answers `:ask`, while the
+inside call answers `:allow`. `a symlink pointing outside the roots resolves outside`: a link inside a root to a
+directory outside resolves `:outside`; a path that does not exist yet resolves through its ancestor. `an
+escalation can only raise the tier`.
+
+### AC2 [auto]: Write with a truncation marker → rejected with an explanation; with allow_placeholders → approval required, then written
+`content with a truncation marker is refused with the line named` (`// ... rest of file` at line 3, `/* ... */`;
+nothing written; the message names `allow_placeholders`) and `the same content with allow_placeholders escalates
+to :destructive, and then writes` (`escalate/2` is `:destructive`, the policy says `:ask`, `execute/2` then writes
+the file whole). `the marker list`: `# ... rest unchanged`, a bare `...` line, "rest of the file unchanged" fire;
+ordinary code does not.
+
+### AC3 [auto]: Write is atomic (temp + rename) and creates a backup; FS.restore/2 restores the previous version
+`a write replaces the file whole, keeps a backup, and restore/2 brings the previous version back`: the second
+write's artifact is a backup holding v1; no `.tmp` file remains; `restore/2` brings v1 back (backing v2 up first,
+so the ring holds both); seven more writes leave exactly five backups.
+
+### AC4 [auto]: Edit fails when the search string is not unique; succeeds and returns a diff otherwise
+`a unique search is replaced and a diff comes back; an absent or ambiguous one is refused`: "2 times" and "not
+found" refusals by message; the unique edit writes and returns a diff with `-beta`, `+BETA` and the `---` header,
+plus a backup artifact; a replacement with a marker is refused.
+
+### AC5 [auto]: Web.Fetch against a local test server: main text, size cap, untrusted wrapping; binary → descriptive error
+`Trinity.FakeWeb`, a Plug that `Req`'s `plug:` option routes to (no socket; NOTES.md finding 4): `extracts the main
+text without chrome ...` (heading and paragraphs kept; nav, header, sidebar, footer and script text absent; the
+title in meta; one untrusted part with the URL and a 64-hex digest; the injected instruction present as data),
+`caps the body at 1 MB ...` (exactly 1,048,576 bytes with `capped_at_bytes`; plain text raw; a redirect followed),
+`a binary content type and an HTTP error are descriptive errors ...` (`image/png` named; "HTTP 500"; `ftp://`
+refused), `a non-public host escalates to :ask ...` (localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.5, 169.254.169.254, ::1,
+`.local` ask; public hosts do not).
+
+### AC6 [manual]: Web.Search fake returns structured results; a live-tagged test hits the real provider
+`AC6 (fake): web_search returns structured results as one untrusted part` (two of three results, the provider
+named, the snippet's injected instruction carried as data). The live half: `test/trinity/tools/web/search_live_test.exs`
+(tagged `live`, prints counts and hosts only), the owner's manual queue; not run here (no Brave key in `.env`).
+
+### AC7 [auto]: Shell.Run "sleep 10" with a 1 s timeout → killed; no orphan process
+`AC7: a command past its timeout is killed and leaves no process behind`: `sleep 10 # <marker>` with
+`timeout_ms: 1_000` answers within 3 s with `timed_out` and "[killed"; 700 ms later `ps -eo args` carries no line
+with the marker.
+
+### AC8 [auto]: an rm -rf /-like command → :destructive and approval required (Mox on Permissions)
+`AC8: a dangerous command escalates to :destructive and the policy sees it`: eight commands (`rm -rf /`,
+`rm -rf ~`, `curl … | sh`, `sudo …`, `chmod -R 777 /`, `dd … of=/dev/sda`, `git push --force`, the fork bomb) each
+escalate to `:destructive` and match the pattern list; `ls -la` and `rm -rf ./build` do not; a Mox policy receives
+`escalate: :destructive` for `rm -rf /` and its denial becomes the runner's `:denied`.
+
+### AC9 [auto]: secrets in the environment are not visible to the child
+`AC9: a secret in Trinity's environment is not visible to the child`: with `TRINITY_TEST_SECRET_KEY` set, `env |
+grep SECRET` in the child prints nothing and `HOME` is still there; `scrubbed_env/0` carries a value only for
+the seven kept names and `nil` for every other name (finding 1: the red that found the port's semantics).
+
+### AC10 [manual]: "list the files in the project and summarise the README" works with approvals (GIF)
+`proof/ac10-list-and-summarise.gif` (31 frames) and three stills: the fake provider scripts `fs_list` on the
+project directory (outside the roots: the card asks, "Allow for this session"), then `fs_read` of `README.md` (a
+different fingerprint: asks again, "Allow once"), then the summary; `scripts/dev_chat_list_and_summarise.sh` is
+the run, for the owner's own hands.
+
+### AC11 [auto]: a summary of an untrusted page is tagged untrusted; an instruction inside it is not a command to the prompt builder
+`the assistant's summary of a fetched page carries taint untrusted; the user's message stays trusted` (the tool
+row `untrusted` with its part and digest; the assistant row that asked for the page `trusted`; the summary
+`untrusted`; the next turn `untrusted` too) and `the instruction inside the page is rendered only inside an
+<untrusted> block, and the system prompt states the rule` (the rebuilt request: the rule in the system prompt,
+the instruction absent from it and from every non-tool message, present in the tool message after the opening
+`<untrusted source="tool:web_fetch" ref=… digest=…>` tag and before the closing one).
+
+## Manual verification for the reviewer
+1. AC6: put `BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY` in `.env`, then `set -a; . ./.env; set +a; TRINITY_LIVE=1 mix test --only live
+   test/trinity/tools/web/search_live_test.exs`. Expected: one test passes and prints the result count and hosts.
+2. AC10: `mix assets.build`, remove `priv/static/assets/**/*.gz`, then `scripts/dev_chat_list_and_summarise.sh`;
+   open the printed port, New session, send "list the files in the project and summarise the README". Expected:
+   the card for `fs_list` (allow for this session), the card for `fs_read` (allow once), the summary.
+
+## Deviations from SLICE.md
+See NOTES.md: the five stated at G1 (flat tool names, provenance as parts, Brave, POSIX-only shell, no
+JavaScript) and finding 4 (a Plug in place of a Bandit test server).
+
+## Versions touched
+`VERSIONS.md` updated: yes, `floki ~> 0.38` and `muontrap ~> 2.0` (POSIX only in `mix.exs`) with their rows.
+`mix hex.audit` and `mix deps.audit` clean.
+
+## Git
+```
+$ git log --oneline main..HEAD
+1fb1372 feat(s022): the core tools: filesystem, web fetch and search, the shell, and provenance
+b45d7fc chore(s022): add floki ~> 0.38 and muontrap ~> 2.0 (POSIX only)
+0c37b3c docs(s022): G1 plan with the two pre-slice decisions, and the slice opens
+```
+
+## Closing correction, 2026-09-20
+Supersedes the "Final commit" field in the header: the commit carrying this file is `16d61ec`
+(`feat(s022): complete slice 022 (core tools: fs, web, shell)`); the `git log` block above lists the commits
+before it. The pull request, its merge commit (signed in its body) and the tag come after review.
