From 4cfa75ef38617bef33e0e07d691ba3c1e4ca76bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Gering Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:34:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Give swarm external voices file-read + web research (0.6.0) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Externals (codex, grok) were tool-less/inline-only — blind to out-of-diff bugs (callers, config, types, CVE/library knowledge). Grant file-read + web without re-opening the secret-exfil hole: - codex: `-s read-only -C -c tools.web_search=true` (web is model-native, works under read-only — no sandbox loosen). - grok: strict `--tools read_file,list_dir,grep,web_search,web_fetch` allowlist + `--cwd `; drop `--tools ""` / `--disable-web-search`. No write/shell tools for either voice. - Keep + extend the OS secret-jail: repo-root `.env*`/`data/`/key files join the HOME denylist (root-level only — nested via SWARM_DENY_PATHS). - Egress guard (prompt policy, outside the diff fence): web is for external general knowledge only, never put repo content into a query/URL. Model- cooperation-dependent, not transport-enforced — the jail is the hard boundary; scrub_secrets/output gate stay as output-only backstops. - Run-start notice once per review when external voices are live. - New test_sandbox_deny.py: denylist unit asserts + macOS e2e (sandboxed cat of a temp .env is blocked). Docs/knowledge rewritten off the old posture. Bumps swarm 0.5.1 → 0.6.0.
