GitHub CTRLRun ctrlrun pyproject.toml version 0.8.0 ctrlrun.verify.guarantees GUARANTEES

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
CTRLRun is an open-source infrastructure project designed to manage and secure consequential AI-agent actions [1]. It provides tools to define which actions an agent may execute autonomously, which require human approval, and which are strictly blocked [1]. Regarding your query: - CTRLRun Version: As of September 12, 2026, the available versions on PyPI include up to v0.6.1 [2]. There is no official release of v0.8.0 documented in the search results, although project documentation has previously noted that an external security audit was planned for v0.8 or v0.9 [3][2]. - ctrlrun.verify.guarantees: The ctrlrun verify command evaluates a set of established guarantees against a given configuration [4]. These guarantees are intended to ensure transaction safety and security for agent-driven operations [1]. - GUARANTEES: The project documentation specifies that ctrlrun verify runs eleven distinct guarantees against the configuration in a sandboxed, "scratch" store environment, using fake executors to ensure no network calls are made during verification [4]. These guarantees are mapped to specific code and tests within the repository to validate the system&#39;s claims [5][6]. For detailed information on the specific guarantees and the verification contract, you should refer to the official documentation at https://ctrlrun.dev/ and the docs/verify.md and docs/CLAIMS.md files in the GitHub repository [5][7][4].

Regenerate both readiness blocks from the authoritative core checkout.

render_readiness.py reads the package version from the core pyproject.toml and release status from CHANGELOG.md. Those sources identify 0.7.0 as the current release; 0.8.0 remains under Unreleased. The current catalogue contains 21 guarantees, so do not replace 21 with 19 based only on the PR summary. Regenerate the blocks in docs.mdx and docs/production/index.mdx so the version, combined test count, and guarantee count come from one measured state. Both pages can currently publish a false “0.8.0, on PyPI” claim.

| **G14** token changes across a renewal | `ctrlrun.idempotency_token()` answers inside an executor with a token derived from `(effect_key, attempt)`: stable within one attempt, including across a resume, and different after a renewal. Send it to a provider as its idempotency key. | `ASI08:2026` (partly) | A provider handed the effect key alone would answer the one retry the kernel permits, permitted *because the executor proved nothing happened*, with the cached failure of the attempt that failed. A token that moves with the attempt keeps a provider's cache from becoming a second source of stale outcomes. What it is for is reconciliation, a deterministic handle to ask a provider what became of an attempt whose outcome is unknown; it does not make a retry safe, and after `AMBIGUOUS` the kernel still refuses one. It is unique only as far as the operator's effect keys are, and nothing here checks two stores sharing a provider account. |
| **G15** renewal past the ceiling refused | An action entry may declare `max_attempts`; above it the executor is not called, the record is released as `FAILED`, a `blocked` receipt names the ceiling, and `ActionDenied(reason="attempt_ceiling")` is raised. The refused attempt number is spent. | `ASI08:2026` (partly), `ASI10:2026` (partly) | Without a ceiling a renewal after `FAILED` is unbounded, so an agent that keeps proposing an action that keeps failing keeps dispatching, and one human yes on an `APPROVE` action bought unlimited dispatches. The ceiling is the operator's, not the kernel's: an entry that declares none renews exactly as before, and the decision is taken on the attempt number the store assigned, after the reservation, so two callers cannot both pass a read taken before reserving. It bounds attempts on one effect key, not what an agent does across many. |
| **G16** a moved fingerprint is refused | Under `APPROVE`, a `preconditions=` provider's answer is kept as a `sha256:` fingerprint on the request; on the presenting pass it is computed again, strictly before the store call that consumes the approval, and a difference is refused with `ApprovalMismatch(reason="precondition_changed")`, reserving nothing and leaving the approval granted. | `ASI09:2026` (partly), `ASI01:2026` (partly) | A human's yes was given against the world as it was; this refuses the action where the state the approval depended on has moved since. It **narrows** the window between approval and execution and does not close it: the comparison is a network call outside the atomic reservation write, and a change that lands between the comparison and the reservation is not refused. What the provider looks at is in the operator's code, which verify does not read; verify grades the check with a provider of its own. |
| **G17** an unentitled approver refused | A control in the registry may name the role that answers for it. An approval whose **recorded** entitlement does not cover the roles the request pinned is refused with `ApprovalMismatch(reason="approver_unentitled")`, naming the control and the role in the message, the exception and the `APPROVAL_INVALIDATED` event. Roles are matched byte for byte, and every cited control must be satisfied. | `ASI03:2026` (partly), `ASI09:2026` (partly) | Before this, any principal whose credential the provider verified could answer any request: a deployment could say *who may act* and not *who may permit*. What it closes is narrower than it sounds and is stated as such. The kernel refuses an approval whose **recorded** entitlement does not cover the role; what entitled it was decided where the credential was verified, which is the operator MCP server or an embedding application. CTRLRun does not interpret the role, does not check that it exists anywhere, and makes no compliance claim on the strength of one. A control naming no role gates nobody, and a principal whose claims lack the role is not entitled: two omissions that mean opposite things. |
| **G18** the requester cannot approve | The principal that requested an action cannot be the principal that approves it, compared on the **resolved principal** and never on the approver string, so two grants whose strings differ are still one principal. Refused with `ApprovalMismatch(reason="approver_is_requester")`, leaving the approval granted and reserving nothing. | `ASI03:2026` (partly), `ASI09:2026` (partly) | An agent that could approve its own action has an approval gate in name only. The comparison is on the principal an identity provider verified, which is what makes it real: `approver` was a free string until v0.8, and a check against it would have been defeated by typing a different one. It does not establish that the approver understood what they approved: a persuaded human gives a valid approval and the receipt records it as one, and no page here says otherwise. |
| **G19** one principal counts once | An action entry may require several approvals. The threshold counts **distinct verified principals**: a second yes from a principal that already answered is recorded, moves that entry's timestamp, and does not move the count. The count is decided inside the store's own write on all three backends, never by a read followed by a write. | `ASI09:2026` (partly), `ASI03:2026` (partly) | M-of-N is worth nothing if one person can be N of it. What this closes is a miscount: two processes answering at the same instant produce two approvers or one, never a threshold reached twice, and the test that proves it opens the window between the count's read and its write rather than starting two processes and hoping. A threshold above one in a deployment that verifies nobody is a denial, not a silent downgrade to one approval. It does not make several humans independent of each other, and it does not know whether they discussed it. |
| **G20** revoked before its exp: no | Where a deployment configures a revocation feed, Security Event Tokens are consumed and a credential the issuer revoked is refused **at resolution**, before its `exp`, as an `IdentityError`. The match is against the token's own `iss`, `sub` and `jti` and never against the principal's agent name. | `ASI03:2026` (partly), `ASI10:2026` (partly) | Until v0.8 a verified token was valid until it expired, so a compromised credential stayed good for the rest of its lifetime and short lifetimes were the whole of the answer. Two things this closes less than it sounds, and both are stated wherever the feature is described. A revoked credential leaves a **log line and no receipt**: resolution happens before an action exists, where an expired credential leaves a full receipt. And a feed is worth what its source is worth: whoever can write it can refuse the operator's own agents, which is a denial of service against them and is fail-closed. What they cannot do is admit a principal the issuer revoked, because the feed is only ever consulted to refuse. |
| **G21** unapproved policy decides no | Where a deployment requires it, a decision is made only where a committed effect records that this exact policy hash was approved, and the policy in force must send its own change to a human. Otherwise every action is denied `policy_unapproved`, with an `ACTION_DENIED` event and a `DENIED` receipt. A policy change is an ordinary action, so the approval path applies to it in full. | `ASI03:2026` (partly), `ASI01:2026` (partly), `ASI10:2026` (partly) | The policy is the one file that decides every other decision, and until v0.8 it was changed by editing it. The property is exactly **a policy change that no verified principal other than the proposer approved decides nothing** — not "a policy cannot be changed by whoever holds the file". An administrator with write access can still widen *who* may approve the next change; what they cannot manufacture is the approving principal, whose credential is verified by the provider configured in code. An approval binds a hash and not an ordering, so any hash ever approved stays approved and a superseded policy can be restored with nothing in the evidence saying so. |

- Bypassing the decorator entirely (calling the raw function). v0.2 gateway mode narrows this; process-level enforcement is out of scope.
- **A compromised identity provider.** CTRLRun *consumes* identities: it verifies a token somebody else issued and maps the verified claims onto a `Principal`. It issues nothing, and an issuer that signs a token for the wrong subject has told CTRLRun the truth as far as CTRLRun can tell. Everything downstream — grants, delegation, receipts — is then wrong, correctly and consistently.
- **A `HeaderIdentityProvider` behind a proxy that does not overwrite the header.** It is worth exactly what the thing setting it is worth, and RFC 7239 §8.1 says the same of the header it standardizes. If the agent can set the header, the agent chooses its own authority. It warns at construction and it is still the operator's call.
- **A revoked token before its `exp`.** There is no revocation channel: a verified token is valid until it expires, which is why one with no `exp` is refused. Shared-signals mechanisms exist and v0.3 implements none of them. Short lifetimes are the whole of the story.
- **A revoked token before its `exp`, where no feed is configured.** Without one, a verified token is valid until it expires, which is why one with no `exp` is refused, and short lifetimes are the whole of the story. Since v0.8 a deployment may pass `JWTIdentityProvider(revocations=...)` a feed of Security Event Tokens, and a credential the issuer revoked is then refused at resolution. Two things that closes less than they sound: **a revoked credential leaves a log line and no receipt**, because resolution happens before an action exists, where an *expired* one leaves a receipt; and **a feed is worth what its source is worth**. Somebody who can write the file, or stand in front of the poll endpoint, can refuse the operator's own agents at will, which is a denial of service against them and is fail-closed. They cannot admit a principal the issuer revoked: the feed is only ever consulted to refuse, and there is no path on which its answer makes an otherwise-invalid credential valid.
- **A tenant-templated issuer.** `issuer` is matched as an exact string, so a multi-tenant endpoint cannot be configured correctly here. Pointing it at one without pinning the tenant makes every tenant on that platform a valid issuer — stated because the fail-open is inviting.
- **Authority across an agent-to-agent hop.** A grant covers the principal CTRLRun resolved for *this* call. Propagating attenuated authority across hops is v0.10.
- **Approving an authority change.** `ctrlrun delegate --as` is an assertion typed at a shell, not an authentication; the record keeps `created_via` so a reader can tell an act from an assertion. Authenticating the *approver* remains out of scope, as in v0.1.
