Adds durable, subject-scoped whole-tool approval grants and a one-time legacy import receipt to TinySecurity. Revocation remains authoritative across restarts, and retries reconcile an existing durable import row with its audit record. The new bus surface is contract 1.26, leaving DevicePairing2 on 1.25.

This is a dependency change for tinyhumansai/openhuman#7328. It follows the merged TinySecurity #39 device-pairing change.

Validation on the merged current main branch:

  • cargo test --all-features -j1
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -j1 -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --all-targets --all-features -j1
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • Import audit retry regression: confirmed failing before the fix and passing after it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added durable whole-tool trust management, including grant, revoke, list, and legacy trust-source import capabilities.
    • Added persistent, audited trust records with expiration, revocation checks, retry-safe imports, and restart persistence.
    • Added redacted tool labels and safer handling of sensitive trust information.
    • Updated the contract to version 1.26.
  • Documentation

    • Added specifications and user documentation for durable flow and whole-tool trust behavior.

Add a test asserting that a whole-tool trust grant survives a module
restart, is listed afterwards, attributes approval to the tool grant, and
that revoking it makes a subsequent approval evaluation fail. The tinybus
submodule pointer is bumped alongside.

Pinned zip back to 2.6.1 and tinybus to 0.1.3, which drops the nix and
typed-path dependencies and pulls in arbitrary, crossbeam-utils and
zopfli instead.

Introduce a tool trust module and export it from the bus crate, along with
GrantTool2, RevokeTool2 and ListToolTrust2 wire methods for durably trusting
one exact whole tool within a registered scope. The contract version is bumped
to 1.25 to cover the new vocabulary.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Approval evaluation now consults a durable tool-trust check alongside the
existing flow-trust one, so a tool trusted as a whole can satisfy an
approval rule with the auto:tool-grant reason. A dedicated lock serializes
tool-trust grants and revocations so each tool keeps a single live row.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add host-only handlers for granting, revoking and listing tool trust, and
register them as GrantTool2, RevokeTool2 and ListToolTrust2 so callers can
manage tool trust through the bus. The registered scope is treated as a
trusted-adapter claim, matching the existing approval scope methods.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The restart test now consumes the approved request through the approval
action endpoint and asserts the call fails, then lists tool trust to
confirm no entries remain. This exercises the consume path and the
post-revocation listing instead of only re-evaluating the approval.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish

…ap tests

Replace the raw JSON payloads and string method names in the whole-tool-trust restart test with the typed GrantToolRequest2, ListToolTrustRequest2 and RevokeToolRequest2 structs and the names::methods constants, asserting on typed outcomes and entries instead of serde_json::Value fields. This keeps the test aligned with the bus API and catches shape mismatches at compile time.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
A durable whole-tool grant could be revoked after evaluation but before
execution, letting a queued automatic approval still run. The consume path
now reloads the tool trust row so revoked grants deny the pending request,
and tests cover restart persistence, exact tool and scope matching, and the
cron and unlabelled boundaries.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish

Extend the module contract notes to cover contract 1.25, which adds durable
whole-tool trust through GrantTool2, RevokeTool2 and ListToolTrust2, and point
readers at the new spec for its Standard-scope eligibility and lifecycle rules.
The section heading now spans contracts 1.22 and 1.25.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Contract 1.25 adds GrantTool2, RevokeTool2 and ListToolTrust2 so a whole
tool can be trusted durably, persisted and audited through the approval
store. The engine now consults that trust when deciding a call, and the
gaps tests cover the new members.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Renamed the private helper to make it clear it resolves live tool trust rather than trust in general, updating its two call sites. No behaviour change.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The fixture's load implementation now filters records to those whose binding scope matches the requested scope, so tests exercise the same scoping behaviour as the real engine instead of returning every row.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Wrap the register, grant, and begin calls in the engine gap tests with
map_err handlers that print the underlying error before propagating it,
making intermittent failures easier to diagnose.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Durable tool trust is now resolved before the origin rule is evaluated, so a
grant-only rule no longer denies a tool that already holds a durable grant.
Deny rules are still checked up front to fail fast, and the unlabelled-origin
test now expects the durable grant to be attributed to auto:tool-grant.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The lifecycle check rejected rows whose grant source was tool-trust-grant, so valid approvals from that path were treated as expired. Adding the variant to the accepted set lets those rows pass validation.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Auto tool-grant approvals now take the tool trust lock before revalidating
the grant, so a concurrent trust change cannot slip between the snapshot
check and the live scope read. The test fixture gains a load failure hook
to exercise the new path.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add tests asserting that whole-tool grants reject blank, control-character,
oversized, and reserved tool names, and that trust expires with its generation.
Also cover the fail-closed path when the trust store cannot be loaded, and
document that unlabelled calls can be approved by an exact whole-tool grant.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The test now expects listing a scope owned by another agent to return an
empty result rather than an error, matching the engine's current
behaviour.

Add a test that imports whole-tool and flow-tool trust, revokes both, then
restarts and reimports the same sources to confirm the revocations persist and
the reimports are reported as already imported with no trust entries listed.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add types for importing legacy whole-tool and flow-scoped trust items from a
host-owned source, each recorded under an immutable receipt so repeated imports
are idempotent. The new request, outcome and receipt types are redacted in debug
output alongside the existing trust types.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Trust rows carrying the new import attributions are now recognised alongside
granted ones, and the flow and tool trust helpers are shared with the import
path. A host-only ImportTrustSource2 method and a wire-shape test cover the
imported item payloads.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Trust lookups now accept rows whose call hash is absent when the row carries
the import attribution, and additionally require the row's tool name to match
the requested tool. This lets trust imported from another source be found
without weakening the binding checks.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Imported flow and tool trust rows were only matched on the call hash, so
lookups could miss rows whose binding was keyed by content hash and could
match rows belonging to a different tool. Live trust lookups now take the
tool name, derive the key internally, and accept imported rows via their
attribution, with the import attributions added to the valid lifecycle set.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add the import_trust module declaration to the approval engine so the
new engine_import_trust.rs file is compiled as part of the crate.

Expose a private host-only migration method that imports a trust source
through the approval store, treating the source identity as trusted
adapter input. The method is registered in the module export list so the
host can invoke it during migration.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The tool trust and import trust RPC method names were missing from the
bus METHODS list, so they were not advertised to clients. Added them
alongside the existing flow trust entries. The remaining changes are
rustfmt reflows with no behaviour change.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The import trust source marker now hashes the workspace scope instead of the
tenant, so trust granted in one workspace no longer matches another. Also
removed an unused trust key binding in the tool trust path and tidied the
marker lookup signature.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The trust key is now computed before the rows are loaded in the tool trust
engine, matching the ordering used elsewhere and keeping the key available
for the subsequent lookup.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Import trust checks now call the engine's trust_pair_valid instead of the
flow_trust free function, and valid_tool is exposed to sibling modules so the
engine can reuse it. This consolidates validation behind the engine API
without changing behaviour.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add a test that imports one tool from a source, fails a second import
mid-flight, then restarts the engine and retries both items. It asserts the
already-imported item reports AlreadyImported with the original request id
while the missing item is imported, leaving both tools trusted.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add a test covering the Debug implementations of the tool trust wire
types, checking that each one emits a redaction marker and never leaks
scope, tool, flow, or request identifiers. This guards against a future
derive or manual impl accidentally exposing sensitive fields in logs.

Scope replacement now takes the whole-tool trust lock so it waits for any
in-flight trust mutation to finish before swapping the posture, grants or
policy reference. Without this, a concurrent grant could be applied against
a scope that was being replaced, leaving trust rows that no longer matched
the live scope.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The scope engine tests now await replace_scope, matching its async signature, and the affected assertions were reformatted to keep the call chains readable.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Update the scope tests so a repeated registration with a bumped generation
expects Replaced rather than Unchanged, and rewrite the reservation race test
to assert that scope replacement blocks until a trusted reservation commits
and that the racing consume ends up Reserved instead of Denied.

Auto-committed-on: cuttlefish
Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The scope registration test now asserts that re-registering an identical scope
yields Unchanged rather than Replaced, matching the engine's current

Extend the redaction assertions to cover request_id and source_id.

The test omits these two fixture values. A future Debug implementation could print either value and still pass the current assertions. The current implementation emits only [REDACTED], so this is a test-coverage improvement, not a present production leak.

Add a fixture hook that fails the terminal audit sink for cancelled rows and a test asserting that retrying a whole-tool revoke reconciles the committed cancellation by writing the missing audit receipt.

Tool trust lookups now share a binding matcher and, when no live grant

Split the trust row identity check from the approved-state check and reuse

Absent, so callers can distinguish an explicitly cancelled trust from one
that never existed.
