+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0 — 2026-08-23
+
+### Harness reporter (pre-execution enforcement)
+
+- New `src/reporter.mjs`: NDJSON unix-socket server at
+  `~/.local/state/herdr-guard/reporter.sock` (override with
+  `HERDR_GUARD_REPORTER_SOCKET`). Agent harnesses report tool calls before
+  execution and receive an advisory verdict from the same policy:
+  interrupt→`deny`, alert→`warn`, audit/none→`allow`. Stale socket files are
+  reclaimed; a live socket from another guard is respected.
+- New `hooks/claude-code-pretooluse.mjs`: zero-dependency Claude Code
+  `PreToolUse` hook mapping `deny` to a blocked tool call and `warn` to a
+  permission prompt. Strictly fail-open — a stopped guard never breaks the
+  harness.
+- Reported commands bypass `prompt_only` gating (no prompt glyphs in raw
+  commands), honor project overrides by reported `cwd`, and are audited with
+  `source: "harness:<agent>"`. Pause allows but still audits. The dashboard
+  shows a harness-reports counter.
+
+### Default policy hardening (26 → 52 rules)
+
+- New interrupt-tier rules: device wipes (`wipefs`/`blkdiscard`/`shred` on
+  devices), shell redirects onto block devices, recursive `chmod`/`chown` on
+  rootish paths, `find / -delete`, fork bombs, `crontab -r`.
+- New alert-tier rules: AWS/GCP/Azure resource deletion, PaaS app
+  destruction, DB `DROP`/`TRUNCATE` (prompt-only), `kubectl delete
+  namespace` / `helm uninstall`, `docker volume` removal, the package
+  publish family (`cargo`/`twine`/`gem`/`yarn`/`pnpm`), SSH-key and
+  credential-store reads, `curl` uploads of secret material, firewall
+  disabling, guard tampering (plugin disable, killing Herdr, deleting
+  rules/audit files), history clearing, `setsid`/`at now` detachment,
+  hex-decode-to-shell, `gh repo delete`, `git push --delete`/`--mirror`.
+- False-positive fixes: `git push --force-with-lease` no longer trips the
+  force-push alert (it has its own audit-tier rule); `id_rsa.pub` reads and
+  `curl` posts to URLs merely containing "credentials" stay silent.
+- New `tests/rules-default.test.mjs`: every shipped rule carries canonical
+  hits plus near-miss false-positive guards, with completeness enforced.
+
+### Review hardening (post-review fixes, same release)
+
+- Reporter lifecycle: socket claiming is now gated by an atomic pid lock
+  (concurrent starters cannot orphan each other), `close()` only removes a
+  socket/lock the instance owns, and a pre-existing parent directory of a
+  user-overridden socket path is never chmodded.
+- Rule fixes: `crontab -u <user> -r` now interrupts; mixed-case SQL
+  `Drop Table` now alerts; `wipefs` without erase flags, `grep setsid`,
+  `gcloud ... list | grep delete`, and `curl -d @file` posts to URLs merely
+  containing "credentials" no longer false-positive.
+- Guard and hook now agree that an empty `HERDR_GUARD_REPORTER_SOCKET`
+  means unset.
+
+## 0.1.1
+
+- Transport hotfix: Herdr socket lifecycle repair, watcher lifecycle and
+  audit gap fixes, per-session watchdog recovery isolation, malformed
+  generation report deduplication, minimal CI validation workflow.
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+- Initial release: pane watcher with subscribe-first/reconcile-after
+  bootstrap, content-based replay suppression, prompt-gated interrupt rules,
+  severity-partitioned audit log with redaction and sanitization, project
+  overrides capped at alert, pause/resume with TTL, self-healing watchdog,
+  ANSI dashboard.

+use the bundled harness reporter (below) or native agent hooks.
+
+## Harness reporter (pre-execution enforcement)
+
+Pane-watching can only *request* an interrupt after text renders. The
+reporter path inverts that: an agent harness reports each tool call to the
+guard **before execution** over a local unix socket
+(`~/.local/state/herdr-guard/reporter.sock`, dir `0700`) and receives a
+verdict from the same policy — `deny` (interrupt-tier), `warn` (alert-tier),
+or `allow`. Reported commands are matched raw (prompt-only gating does not
+apply) and audited with `source: "harness:<agent>"`; project overrides apply
+by the reported `cwd`.
+
+A ready-made Claude Code `PreToolUse` hook ships in
+`hooks/claude-code-pretooluse.mjs` — it maps `deny` to a blocked tool call
+and `warn` to a permission prompt. Wire it in `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "Bash",
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "node /path/to/herdr-guard/hooks/claude-code-pretooluse.mjs"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The hook is strictly fail-open: if the guard is not running, times out, or
+answers garbage, the tool call proceeds and nothing breaks. The guard cannot
+observe whether a harness honored a verdict, so audit entries still record
+`prevention: "unknown"`. Other harnesses can implement the same one-line
+NDJSON protocol: send
+`{"v":1,"kind":"tool_call","agent":"pi","tool":"shell","command":"...","cwd":"..."}`
+and read back `{"ok":true,"verdict":"deny","rule_id":"...","reason":"..."}`.

+### Harness reporter ingest
+
+The one place prevention is actually possible: an agent harness reports each
+tool call BEFORE execution and can honor the verdict.
+
+- Transport: NDJSON request/response over a unix socket at the well-known
+  per-user path `$XDG_STATE_HOME/herdr-guard/reporter.sock` (default
+  `~/.local/state/herdr-guard/reporter.sock`) — deliberately NOT the
+  per-session herdr state dir, because reporters run inside agent processes
+  without herdr's plugin environment. Dir `0700` (created only if missing —
+  a user-overridden path never gets its existing parent chmodded), socket
+  `0600`. Claiming is race-safe: an atomic (O_EXCL) pid lock file gates the
+  unlink-and-bind, a dead holder's lock is reclaimed, and `close()` removes
+  only a socket/lock the instance owns — a losing guard's shutdown can never
+  delete the surviving guard's live socket. A live socket (another guard) is
+  left alone and logged. Override with `HERDR_GUARD_REPORTER_SOCKET` (empty
+  means unset, on both the guard and hook sides).
+- Request: `{v:1, kind:"tool_call", agent, tool, command, cwd?, session?}`.
+  Response: `{ok, verdict: "deny"|"warn"|"allow", enforcement, rule_id,
+  severity, reason}`. Mapping: interrupt→deny, alert→warn, audit/none→allow.
+- Matching runs with `paneType: "harness"` so `prompt_only` never gates a
+  raw reported command (there are no prompt glyphs to find). Project
+  overrides merge by the reported `cwd`. Multi-line commands take the
+  worst-line verdict.
+- Every match is audited (`source: "harness:<agent>"`, decision
+  `advise-deny` / `advise-warn` / `log-only`, `prevention: "unknown"` —
+  the guard cannot observe whether the harness honored the verdict).
+  Dedupe/rate-limit/notification-coalescing reuse the pane pipeline with a
+  synthetic `harness:<agent>` pane key; interrupt-tier is never suppressed.
+  `pause` yields `allow` + `enforcement: "paused"` while still auditing —
+  same contract as panes: pause stops actions, never the record.
+- Shipped reporter: `hooks/claude-code-pretooluse.mjs`, a zero-dependency
+  Claude Code PreToolUse hook. deny → `permissionDecision: "deny"`, warn →
+  `"ask"`, allow → silent. Strictly fail-open (500ms deadline, exit 0 on
+  any failure): a broken or absent guard must never break the harness.
+  Residual: killing the guard silences this path; pane-side tamper rules
+  make that loud.

+// reporter.mjs — harness reporter ingest for herdr-guard.
+//
+// Pane-watching sees rendered text and can only *request* an interrupt after
+// the fact. Harness reporters invert that: an agent harness (Claude Code
+// PreToolUse hook, Pi extension) reports each tool call BEFORE execution and
+// can honor a deny verdict — the one place in the system where prevention is
+// actually possible. The guard stays the single policy brain; the transport
+// is one NDJSON request/response line over a local unix socket.
+//
+// The socket lives at a well-known per-user path (not the per-session herdr
+// state dir) because reporters run inside agent processes that do not have
+// herdr's plugin environment. Directory 0700, socket 0600. Everything is
+// fail-open by design on the reporter side; on the guard side an unreachable
+// reporter socket is logged and visible, never fatal to the pane watcher.
+//
+// Ownership rules (two guards must never fight over the rendezvous point):
+// a pid lock file is claimed atomically (O_EXCL) before binding, so
+// concurrent starters cannot both unlink-and-listen; close() only removes
+// the socket and lock this instance actually owns, so a loser's shutdown
+// can never delete the surviving guard's live socket.
