auth.json becomes audit/session.json, next-audit.json becomes
audit/reminder.json, and state/audit-schedule.json becomes
audit/schedule.json, so one directory answers "what does the audit know
about this machine" the way policies/ answers it for enforcement.
auditDir is now deliberately absent from HOME_CLASSES. It was classified
`derived` wholesale — correct for a directory holding two caches, and a
trap the moment a credential moved in, because resettablePaths() is a
filter over that table and a reset would have deleted the user's tokens.
It is MIXED now and classified per-file, exactly like state/ already is.
Two paths join them, and the split between them is the design rather than
tidiness: session.json holds the tokens (user-typed), machine.json holds
the report id and digest watermark (identity). Both have to outlive a
sign-out — regenerate the id and the server sees a new machine on every
logout; reset the watermark and the next digest re-reports months of
history — so they cannot live in the file a sign-out deletes.
The migration is three moves and no deletions, each a rename with a copy
fallback for the EXDEV case. A missing source is success (most homes never
signed in); an existing destination wins, since re-running the step is what
happens when a later step throws and the user retries. session.json's 0600
is reasserted rather than assumed, because the copy fallback inherits the
umask. All three are backed up first: auth.json is a live credential that,
unlike every other file in that list, was never on a delete list and so has
never had a copy taken before a migration touched it.
next-audit.json is MOVED rather than retired even though the scheduled-audit
work replaces reminders — deleting it before that lands would drop a cadence
a person chose, with no way back if the follow-up slipped.
Also fixes two landmark bugs in detectLayout() that the bump exposed, both
silent data loss:
- `config.toml` with no `config.json` returned LAYOUT_VERSION - 1, which
read correctly at 3 and reported a real layout-2 home as 3 at 4. Only the
3 -> 4 step would run, moving nothing and stamping the home current, so
config.toml and credentials.toml were never carried into JSON and the
cloud token and daemon.configured were orphaned. A landmark identifies
ONE layout and is never relative to what this build speaks.
- `config.json` proves "3 or later" and cannot separate them, so a layout-3
home that lost its VERSION was called current, the move never ran, and
the user was signed out with auth.json still on disk. What separates 3
from 4 is where the audit's files sit, so it asks that directly; with
none present the layouts are identical on disk and current is correct.

Two helpers in audit_lane_e2e.rs carried the old location: schedule_path() wrote and read state/audit-schedule.json, and the unwritable-home test made `state` a regular file to force create_dir_all to fail. Both are spelled out rather than derived from paths.rs, deliberately — a test that asked the code under test where the file goes would keep passing if the daemon moved it somewhere the dashboard never reads. The cost is that they have to be updated by hand when the path moves, which is this commit. The second one is the reason to say so out loud: blocking the wrong directory does not fail loudly, it lets the write succeed and leaves the test asserting against a complaint that never comes.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve the existing override file names.
FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR can point outside the managed home. migrateToLayout4() cannot move files in that directory. Existing override users still have auth.json and next-audit.json, but this change reads session.json and reminder.json. Those users are signed out and their reminder is ignored after upgrade.
Keep auth.json and next-audit.json for the override path, or implement an explicit migration for that directory.
Proposed fix
export function getAuthFilePath(): string {
const override = process.env.FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR;

The reminder and "invite a friend" buttons share one AuthDialog, and which one opened it was tracked only as `authCopy` — the headline and subhead to show — while handleAuthed unconditionally called persistReminder. So the dialog knew which button had been pressed for the purpose of its own COPY and not for the purpose of its own EFFECT, and the invite path did the reminder path's work: click "invite a friend", read "Oops! Login required", sign in, and you got a 7-day reminder you never asked for and no invite dialog. The actual intent went on the floor. An explicit `pendingAction` carries the intent now, and the copy is DERIVED from it so the two cannot disagree. The cadence travels inside the action rather than being read from state at resume time, so the reminder that lands is the one whose button was pressed even if something re-rendered in between. Dismissing clears it — leaving it set would make the next sign-in, from any CTA, resume something the user had walked away from — and "no pending action" is now expressible at all, which it was not before. The tests were the other half of why this shipped: they covered which COPY each CTA shows and nothing else, so they were exactly as green on the broken version as on the fixed one. Three now pin the effect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Assert the selected reminder cadence.
The recorder drops the request body. The test proves that a reminder request occurred, but it does not prove that the 14d CTA sends in_days: 14.
Record init.body and assert the reminder request payload. This protects the new captured-cadence behavior.
As per coding guidelines: “Always add unit tests for new behaviour.”

High: Preserve custom auth-directory filenames
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:47 - Evidence: With FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR set, getAuthFilePath() now resolves /session.json and getReminderFilePath() resolves /reminder.json. Before this PR both resolved auth.json and next-audit.json, and migrateToLayout4() only moves files under FAILPROOFAI_HOME. Thus an existing override directory retains valid legacy files but readAuth()/readReminder() return null after upgrade. The current auth-store tests use the helpers to create files, so they do not cover the legacy filenames.
- Required change: Keep auth.json and next-audit.json when FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR is set, or explicitly migrate the override directory before switching readers. Add a regression test seeded with legacy files in a custom auth directory.
1 advisory finding
- Medium/High Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails — When audit/session.json already exists, migrateToLayout4() catches and ignores an rmSync(from) failure for legacy auth.json, then continues to writeVersionFile(). A permission or filesystem error therefore leaves the old bearer credential at the unmanaged root path while VERSION says layout 4, so normal migration retries no longer remove it. (
src/hooks/migrations.ts:145)
A new `[audit] email_enabled`, SEPARATE from `auto`. `audit --help` promises the scan "runs fully offline — no account or network required", and that has to stay true for anyone who wants scheduled scanning and nothing else. Off by default, for a stronger version of `auto`'s reason: the failure direction is a machine mailing an account nobody pointed it at. ## The window is applied per event, not through --since --since filters on transcript MTIME. That is right for deciding which files to open and wrong as a window: a session left open for a month has a fresh mtime, so --since 7d hands back that whole transcript including month-old events, and the first digest anyone received would describe everything their agent had ever done as though it happened that week. So the scan stays unfiltered and the window is applied in harm-report.ts, against the timestamps AuditCount already carries. Where activity straddles the boundary it counts the EXAMPLES inside the window rather than the policy's total — the cache stores counts, not event lists, so there is nothing to subtract. Undercounting is the safe direction: the server's threshold reads these, so it can delay a digest but never invent one. ## Harm is deny + sanitize, plus one by hand severityForBuiltin derives severity from the NAME PREFIX, so `protect-env-vars` reads as `warn` despite blocking `env`/`printenv` outright. Its whole subject is an agent reaching for the environment, which is the "read my keys" case this exists to report. Inheriting a scoring heuristic's blind spot into a security digest would be the wrong kind of consistency — so it is listed explicitly rather than by rewriting a function that feeds every historical score. ## One definition of "secret" SECRET_PATTERNS is exported from builtin-policies.ts, so blocking and redacting share a list instead of growing a second one beside it that eventually disagrees — and the direction it would disagree in is a live credential leaving a machine. The sanitize-* FUNCTIONS could not be reused: they are detectors returning a deny, not transforms returning scrubbed text. Masking runs BEFORE path-shortening. Shortening can cut a path mid-token, and a credential sliced in half stops matching its own pattern and ships as a fragment. ## machine.json is `identity`, and separate from the session Both its fields must outlive a sign-out: regenerate the id and the server sees a new machine on every logout, burning a cap slot and splitting one box's history in two; reset the watermark and the next report re-covers months. The id is minted fresh rather than reusing state/telemetry-id, so opting into a digest never links the anonymous telemetry person to a verified address. ## The child does this, never the daemon Refresh rotation is theft-detecting. Keeping the token inside the audit lock — which already serialises every entry point — is what stops a cross-process race from revoking every session a user has. Scheduled runs only, and nothing here can fail a scan: every error is an outcome, so a dead network or an expired session leaves the local audit working and its dashboard correct.

The two questions a person has after reading their audit — "can this happen automatically" and "will it tell me" — were answered on a separate page they had no reason to visit. The controls now sit under the report they act on, as two panels in section 05: scan settings at 1.3fr against the share card's 1fr, per the mock. /settings is removed rather than redirected. It held nothing else, and the navbar is left with the three pages that are actually destinations. The panel carries the daemon's state as a pill, because "scheduled scanning is on" is not the same claim as "scheduled scanning will happen" — a panel that hid the difference would present a stopped service as a feature that simply does not work. ## Reminders are gone entirely /api/auth/reminder, the cadence buttons, scheduleReminder/cancelReminder, the reminder half of /api/auth/status, and the readReminder/writeReminder store. The api-server deleted /v0/reminders in the same release so the client calling it would 404 — and more to the point, the machine now audits itself and mails a digest when it finds harm, so there is nothing left to nudge anyone about. audit/reminder.json is retired into `legacy` and cleared by the next reset. The layout-4 step still MOVES next-audit.json there rather than deleting it: a migration that destroys something a person chose is a different act from one that relocates it, even when the thing is obsolete. ## Two switches The email switch is separate from the scan switch and is the only one that needs a sign-in — `audit --help` promises the scan runs fully offline, and keeping them apart is what keeps that true. Turning email on while signed out opens the shared dialog and resumes; the server action refuses an anonymous enable rather than storing a switch that reads as on and does nothing. Signing out turns emailed reports off with it. The alternative is a machine that scans, finds something, and has nothing to send it with — discoverable only by noticing that no email ever arrives.

| - Report harmful findings from a scheduled audit, so the machine can tell you what its agent did instead of asking you to go and look. A new `[audit] email_enabled` — a SEPARATE switch from `auto`, because `audit --help` promises the scan "runs fully offline — no account or network required" and that must stay true for anyone who wants scheduled scanning and nothing else. Off by default, like `auto`, and for a stronger version of the same reason: the failure direction is a machine mailing an account nobody pointed it at. **The window is applied per event, not through `--since`.** `--since` filters on transcript MTIME, which is right for deciding which files to open and wrong as a window: a session left open for a month has a fresh mtime, so `--since 7d` hands back that whole transcript including month-old events, and the first digest anyone received would describe everything their agent had ever done as though it happened that week. The scan stays unfiltered and the window is applied here, against the timestamps `AuditCount` already carries. Where activity straddles the boundary the report counts the EXAMPLES inside it rather than the policy's total — the cache stores counts, not event lists, so there is nothing to subtract; undercounting is the safe direction because the server's threshold reads these, and it can delay a digest but never invent one. **Harm is `deny` + `sanitize`**, plus `protect-env-vars` by hand: `severityForBuiltin` derives severity from the NAME PREFIX, so a policy that blocks `env`/`printenv` outright reads as hygiene, and its whole subject is an agent reaching for the environment — inheriting a scoring heuristic's blind spot into a security digest would be the wrong kind of consistency. Examples are redacted before they leave, against `SECRET_PATTERNS` — now exported from `builtin-policies.ts`, so blocking and redacting share one definition of "secret" rather than growing a second list beside it that eventually disagrees. Masking runs BEFORE path-shortening, because shortening can cut a path mid-token and a credential sliced in half stops matching its own pattern and ships as a fragment. `~/.failproofai/audit/machine.json` holds the machine id and the digest watermark, both `identity` class: regenerate the id and the server sees a new machine on every logout, reset the watermark and the next report re-covers months. The id is minted fresh rather than reusing `state/telemetry-id`, so opting into a digest never links the anonymous telemetry person to a verified address. The whole path runs in the audit CHILD, never the daemon — refresh rotation is theft-detecting, and keeping the token inside the audit lock is what stops a cross-process race from revoking every session a user has. Scheduled runs only, and nothing in it can fail a scan: every error is an outcome, so a dead network or an expired session leaves the local audit working and its dashboard correct. (#698) | ||

| - Gather everything the audit owns under `audit/`, as layout 4. `auth.json` becomes `audit/session.json`, `next-audit.json` becomes `audit/reminder.json`, and `state/audit-schedule.json` becomes `audit/schedule.json`, so one directory answers "what does the audit know about this machine" the way `policies/` answers it for enforcement. Two new paths join them, and the split between them is the design rather than tidiness: `session.json` holds the tokens and is `user-typed`, while `machine.json` holds this machine's report id and its digest watermark and is `identity`. Both fields have to outlive a sign-out — regenerate the id and the server sees a brand-new machine on every logout, reset the watermark and the next digest re-reports months of history as though it just happened — so they cannot live in the file a sign-out deletes. **`auditDir` is now deliberately absent from `HOME_CLASSES`.** It was classified `derived` wholesale, which was correct for a directory holding two caches and became a trap the moment a credential moved in: `resettablePaths()` is a filter over that table, so a reset and every future migration would have deleted the user's tokens. It is MIXED now and classified per-file, exactly like `state/` already is, and the `COVERED_BY_PARENT` guard records it as the second entry mapping to itself. The migration is three moves and no deletions, each a rename with a copy fallback because `audit/` and the home root land on different filesystems once `$HOME` is a network mount and `rename(2)` returns `EXDEV` there. A missing source is success — most homes never signed in, so two of the three files are absent on the majority of machines — and an existing destination wins, because re-running the step is exactly what happens when a later step in the same chain throws and the user retries; the stale original is dropped rather than left at the root, since a second copy of a bearer credential is a liability. `session.json`'s mode is reasserted to `0600` afterwards rather than assumed, because a rename preserves it and the copy fallback inherits the umask. All three are backed up first: `auth.json` is a live credential that, unlike every other file in that list, was never on a delete list and so has never had a copy taken before a migration touched it. `next-audit.json` is MOVED rather than retired even though the scheduled-audit work replaces reminders, because a migration that deleted it before that work landed would drop a cadence a person chose with no way back if the follow-up slipped.

Clarify the migration deletion semantics.
Line 9 says “no deletions” and later says “the stale original is dropped.” Replace “no deletions” with precise wording that explains when the backed-up legacy source is removed.
The stated migration objective includes destination precedence and stale-source cleanup. The changelog should use the same terms.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.
Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.
High: Migrate sessions stored through FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR
- Rule:
API-001 - Location:
lib/auth/auth-store.ts:48 - Evidence: The documented override previously stored the session as /auth.json, but getAuthFilePath() now unconditionally reads /session.json (lib/auth/auth-store.ts:48). The layout-3-to-4 migration only moves legacy.authJson() under FAILPROOFAI_HOME (src/hooks/migrations.ts:140), so it never moves an override directory. An upgraded user of this documented setting is treated as signed out; the old refresh token is also left untracked and will not be deleted by later logout.
- Required change: Keep the override filename compatible, or add an atomic auth-store migration/fallback from <FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR>/auth.json to session.json that preserves mode 0600 and removes the old file. Add an upgrade test with the override set.
1 advisory finding
- High/High Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails — When a destination already exists, migrateToLayout4() catches and ignores an rmSync failure for the old source (src/hooks/migrations.ts:151-155), then continues to write VERSION as layout 4 (line 185). This is reachable after a partial copy/rename retry when auth.json is temporarily undeletable. The old bearer credential remains at the root permanently because future runs see the home as current; a subsequent logout only handles audit/session.json. (
src/hooks/migrations.ts:152)
Round 4 of 5. If the next review still finds something blocking, I will summarize what is left, withdraw this change request, and stop reviewing this pull request until someone asks me to start again.
Still open:
- F1 Migrate sessions stored through FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR (
lib/auth/auth-store.ts) — open since round 1 - F2 Do not stamp layout 4 when stale credential cleanup fails (
src/hooks/migrations.ts) — noticed at round 2, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked
If one of these is not worth fixing, @hermes-exosphere dismiss <id> [reason] waives it for the rest of this pull request and gives the review another round.
Three fixes, all found by running the whole stack against a real machine rather than a fixture. ## A first report covered all of history With no watermark the window was "everything". Against 230 sessions and 22,059 tool calls that produced 5,815 findings — every number true and the digest still wrong: somebody's first email would describe their agent's entire recorded history as though it were this week's news, and would trip the critical-policy bypass on day one for essentially everyone. A first report is now bounded to one interval_days back from the scan, so the opening digest covers the same period every later one does. The same run then reports 17. The older findings are not lost, they are simply not news — they are on the dashboard, which is where a full history belongs. `includeUnplaceable` moves to keying on "is this the first report" rather than "is there a lower bound", since a first report now always has one. ## A truncated secret shipped as a fragment A real digest came back containing `authorization: Bearer s`. The audit caps every example at 80 characters at CAPTURE time, long before the redactor sees it, so a command ending in a credential arrives with the credential's tail already gone and the full pattern no longer matches it. That is the exact failure the mask-before-shorten ordering guards against, arriving from upstream instead of from our own transform. A second pass masks a known secret prefix sitting at the END of a string, on the assumption it was cut. One character is not a usable secret; the point is that the number was set by where the truncation happened to land rather than by anything we control, and the same shape with a longer prefix ships more. ## /dev/null was being shortened to /…/null Which reads as though something was hidden when nothing was. Kernel and device roots are identical on every machine and identify nobody. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

dismissed stale reviews from themself
August 14, 2026 12:52
Hermes spent 5 rounds on this pull request without converging and has stood down. This change request is stale and should not block the merge.
The controls sit at /settings again, reached by a gear in the header between
the refresh controls and reach-us. An icon, not a fourth nav tab: the tabs
are views of DATA (projects, policies, audit) and this is machine
configuration, so putting it in that row would have claimed it was another
place to look at results.
Section 05 keeps one job and is now "spread the audit" — the share card and
nothing else. A report should not end in a settings form.
The panel is built from what the service actually has (a state, a timer, an
identity), on the app's existing tokens and existing chrome — `.panel` and
its corner brackets, `.btn-press` and its hard pixel offset. One drawn
element: a schedule tape showing where this machine sits between the last
scan and the next, because that is a POSITION and no number shows a position
at a glance. It renders nothing without two real ends — a machine that has
never run a scheduled scan is not inside an interval, and a rail claiming
otherwise would be decoration.
## One switch, not two
`audit.email_enabled` is gone. Scheduling and mailing are the same decision —
the reason to put a scan on a timer is to be told what it found — so two keys
could only ever disagree, and a timer with nobody to tell is a switch that
reads as on and produces nothing.
"Signed out with the timer on" is therefore DERIVED from the session rather
than stored, and the page names it ("scans continue, digests are paused")
rather than preventing it. Auth gates setting the timer up, never the
machine's ongoing work: a refresh token expiring must not silently switch off
a background feature somebody configured months ago.
## Server-rendered, not fetched after mount
The client-side version painted "off. nothing runs and nothing is sent." and
then flipped to the truth — a page whose whole job is to say whether a
security feature is on spending its first frame saying the opposite. It reads
local files, so there was never a latency reason to defer it. `nowMs` is the
one thing still seeded on the client, deliberately: a server clock would put
the tape's marker where the browser then corrects it.
Also fixes a test that exhausted a 4GB worker heap. The PostHog mock returned
a fresh `vi.fn()` per call, so `capture` changed identity every render and
AuthDialog's effect — which lists it as a dep — re-fired forever. The same
trap is already documented in auth-dialog.test.ts; this one just repeated it.

`redactExample` resolves the real `homedir()` to decide whether a path earns the `~` prefix. The test fed it a hardcoded `/home/sidd/clients/big-bank/.env` and expected `~/…/.env` — which holds on the box that wrote it and nowhere else. On CI, HOME is /home/runner, so the same input correctly redacts to `/…/.env` and the assertion failed. The path is now built from `homedir()`, so the test is about the REDACTION (no project name survives, the basename does, the tilde marks it as under home) rather than about whose laptop ran it. Reproduced locally by overriding HOME before fixing, which fails identically to CI, and re-checked after — the whole audit suite passes under a foreign HOME too. The other hardcoded paths in redact-example.test.ts are fine: those call sites pass `home` explicitly as a parameter, so the test controls it rather than inheriting it.

`failproofai audit --schedule [days]` / `--no-schedule` / `--status`. The switch existed only on a settings page, in a browser. failproofaid is a SYSTEM service — WantedBy=multi-user.target, starts at boot, no login, survives logout — built for exactly the machines that cannot open one: headless boxes, detached tmux, cron, CI runners. The feature shipped with no way to turn it on where it matters most. Parity is structural rather than promised. Every write calls the same `updateConfig` the dashboard's server actions call; the session goes through the same `auth-store`. One config.json, one audit/session.json, one writer for each — so a value set on either side is the value the other reads, verified live in both directions. Terminal sign-in reuses requestLoginCode/verifyLoginCode and writes the same 0600 session file, so logging in here shows up in the browser. Two orderings decide whether a half-finished command leaves state behind, and both are tested: a bad day count is rejected BEFORE sign-in, so a typo never costs a round of OTP; and --schedule requires a session (scheduling and mailing are one decision) while --no-schedule never checks, because an expired session must not trap somebody into keeping a feature they are trying to disable. Turning it on reports the daemon's state, since config saying "on" with nothing running it is the same silent failure the settings panel exists to expose. A non-interactive terminal gets one sentence instead of a hang on a prompt nobody will answer. Two doc comments in app/actions/ claimed the `failproofai config` wizard already wrote these keys. It never did — the wizard calls updateConfig zero times — so they are corrected rather than left describing a command that did not exist.

Two rows drawn as one instrument: a stat row (daemon, next scan, last scan, findings) over a panel row carrying the controls beside what the scan actually does. The page answered one question — is the toggle on — and now answers the two anybody has in front of a background service: what it is doing right now, and what it does with what it finds. Built on the shipped tokens rather than the design doc's own palette and two new webfonts, so /settings and /audit stay one product a click apart. The doc's third hue is dropped rather than introduced: pink is this brand's only channel for "needs a person", and a new rule for one page is not a rule. Three of the four stats needed no new storage, and two are better than the doc assumed. The countdown reads the daemon's own next_due_at_ms instead of last-scan-plus-interval, which drifts the moment the interval changes mid-cycle. The daemon cell keeps daemonServiceStatus()'s four answers, because "installed but its binary is missing" is a different fix from "it crashed" and a heartbeat cannot tell them apart. `findings` reports this scan, not a lifetime total — that would have meant a counter, a writer on two paths, and a decision about what a reset does to it. readDashboardCacheMeta now returns the counts with the timestamp and still bypasses the TTL on purpose: the reader that drops an aged entry is right for rendering results and backwards for a stat whose subject is that the scan was a while ago. Reading the time from one function and the counts from the other is how a page shows "6 days ago" beside a blank count. An unreadable count renders as em-dash, never 0 — scanned-and-clean is not the same claim as failed-to-parse. daemonStartedAtMs reads systemd's monotonic activation stamp, not the printed ActiveEnterTimestamp: that format (Fri 2026-08-14 19:45:13 IST) is rejected by Date.parse on most timezone abbreviations and mis-parsed on the rest, and a settings page claiming the daemon started in the future is worse than one that says nothing. It returns an absolute time so the page keeps counting without re-fetching, and null on macOS rather than a guess. The schedule tape survives, under the panels: the stats give numbers, the tape gives a position, which is the one thing no number shows at a glance.

The label read `━━ audit · first run` in three colours — pink rule, dim dot, mint text — presenting one fact as three things on a line. `.section-label .glyph` was declared twice, in globals.css and again in audit/audit-styles.css, and the audit copy loads second. Changing only the first one edited a value nothing read, and the page kept rendering pink; both inherit now, so the two files cannot silently disagree again. /settings drops its `━━ this machine ━━` eyebrow — the h1 already says settings and the page is about this machine either way — and its tagline becomes "keeping watch, so you don't have to."

Turning scheduled audits on asks the api-server who you are, while the page
reads "reports go to …" off the local session file. The two disagree exactly
when a session has expired or was minted against a different api-server — the
common case, not an edge one — so the toggle took the signed-in path and the
click dead-ended on "could not turn that on.", with no dialog and no next step.
Catching the refusal was not available: Next masks a thrown server-action error
before the browser sees it, so the client receives an opaque digest and never
the message. Matching on the text would have worked in development and silently
degraded to a generic failure in production, which is what shipped.
So the refusal is RETURNED — `{ok: false, reason: "signed-out"}` — a
discriminant that survives the boundary. The page re-reads before opening the
dialog, or it would ask for an email while still displaying one. Turning
scheduling OFF is still never refused.
Also: the settings panel's "sends" line stops claiming "only counts and
redacted examples". The report carries the machine's name too, which routinely
carries its owner's, and very nearly true is the worse kind of claim when the
reader can check it against the same email. It now lists all three, in the
order the digest states them.

Four of thirteen review findings survived checking against the code. The others were stale — the truncated-secret leak and the machine-dependent CI assertion are already fixed, and three cite a component that has since been rewritten. **The redactor emitted the username.** `/home/sidd` shortened to `~/…/sidd`, keeping the name as the basename directly after the `~` whose whole job is to stand in for it. The one path guaranteed to identify a person was the one path spelled out, and it reached the api-server in `harmful[].examples` and the digest email. The home directory is `~` now, and nothing more. That fix exposed a second defect under it: `underHome` was a bare `startsWith`, so a home with a trailing slash did not match itself — turning off home detection for exactly the path that most needed it — and `/home/u2` matched `/home/u`. The boundary is checked, once, outside the replace callback. **A policy straddling the window's upper edge reported hits from after it.** `wholly` tested the lower bound alone, so a policy that started inside the window and was still firing after it closed sent `count.hits` — every hit, including those past `to` — while its examples were filtered to the window. Those hits also fall inside the NEXT window, since the watermark advances to `to`, so one occurrence was reported twice. Both edges are checked now; a straddle at either falls back to the examples actually inside. **`FAILPROOFAI_AUTH_DIR` signed people out on upgrade.** A documented env var naming a directory outside the managed home, and every path in the layout-4 step comes from FAILPROOFAI_HOME — so that directory was never visited, the file stayed `auth.json`, layout 4 read `session.json`, and the session vanished with no message. Scans kept running, digests quietly stopped. The step migrates that directory too. **A failed cleanup marked the migration successful.** With the destination already present the step dropped the layout-3 original and swallowed any error, then stamped layout 4 — leaving `auth.json`, a live bearer token, at the home root where nothing would read it again and nothing would clean it up. It propagates now: the home stays at layout 3 and the next command retries, which is what runMigrations documents a failed step to mean. The rmSync regression test fails for real rather than by mock — a directory where the file should be, since `force` suppresses ENOENT and nothing else, and an ESM import bound at load time would never see a spy.

Each demonstrated before it was touched. **The digest went permanently quiet on mature machines.** A policy straddling the window falls back to counting its in-window examples, and the audit keeps at most three per policy in transcript-walk order. On a machine months into its history those three are routinely all old, so a policy that fired an hour ago scored zero and the row was dropped — and since firstSeen never moves back past the watermark, it was dropped from every later report too. The module docs call this "a delayed digest"; it is a feature that stops working the longer you use it. Where lastSeen itself falls inside the window that timestamp is a real in-window event, so the count floors at one instead of vanishing. **A failed migration could strand a home as "current" forever.** Every step ends at writeVersionFile(), which stamped LAYOUT_VERSION rather than the step's own `to` — harmless while every chain was one hop, a trap the moment this release made one two. On 2 → 3 → 4 the first step stamps 4, so a 3 → 4 that throws leaves detectLayout() reporting `current`: nothing retries, auth.json stays at the root while layout 4 reads audit/session.json, and the machine is signed out with its own session on disk. writeVersionFile now honours the `layout` its signature always accepted and its body ignored; a failed step restores the marker to step.from, and only when it already claims to be current. **A pasted OTP killed the sign-in.** The server validates the code at 4..12 characters, so pasting "Your code is 123456" returns validation_error rather than invalid_code — and the retry loop only re-prompts on invalid_code. It aborted and cost a fresh email. The prompt is bounded at both ends now. **One failed refresh blanked a healthy console.** reload's catch closed over a `view` frozen at first render, so on a page the server could not seed it stayed null forever and the next transient failure — a tab hide fires the same listener — replaced a working console with an error. **An interval edit was silently dropped.** 7 → 14 → 7 compared the second write against a stale mirror, decided nothing changed, and skipped it: input reading 7, config saying 14. Also: audit_share_section_shown latched before the auth probe resolved, so every view ever recorded carried signed_in: false. And the "turns OFF" settings test mocked a shape the SetAutoAuditResult union forbids, so its branch never ran and it asserted only that the action had been called.

Scheduled audits, end to end: a timer that runs on your machine, a page that says what it is doing, a command that configures it without a browser, and an email when a scan finds something worth knowing about.
Pairs with the api-server PR (harm digests). Deploy that first — this side degrades safely against an old server; see Rollout.
What lands
failproofai audit --schedule [days]/--no-schedule/--status, with email-OTP sign-in in the terminal. The switch previously existed only on a settings page, in a browser — whilefailproofaidis a system service that starts at boot, needs no login and survives logout, built for exactly the machines that cannot open one: headless boxes, detached tmux, cron, CI runners. The feature shipped with no way to turn it on where it matters most.Parity with the dashboard is structural rather than promised: every write calls the same

Verified live in both directions./settingsrebuilt as a console for the service — a stat row (daemon, next scan, last scan, findings) over the controls and what the scan actually does.

The scan stays fully offline; only scheduling opts into mail. The window is applied per event rather than through
--since, which filters on transcript mtime — a session left open for a month arrives with a fresh mtime and its whole history in tow, so the first digest anyone received would have described everything their agent had ever done as that week's news.

New CLI against an old server:

Verification
3689 unit tests green,
tscclean, 0 lint errors. Verified live on a real machine: OTP sign-in through the terminal, a scan over 22,074 tool calls across 230 sessions, the daemon lane spawning the child on its timer, harm selection → redaction → POST → digest, the cooldown holding and the window correctly not advancing, and the layout-3 → 4 migration run against a copy of a real home.
