# Security & Compliance Report

**Session ID**: `phase20-session02-cleanup-parity-signoff` **Reviewed**: 2026-06-02 **Result**: PASS

***

## Scope

**Files reviewed** (session deliverables and changed implementation surface):

* `scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts` - Admin write boundary, chat SSE redaction, preflight, path confinement, and command handling.
* `scripts/lib/__tests__/hermes-dev-bridge.test.ts` - Public and sensitive read endpoint gate coverage.
* `scripts/lib/__tests__/hermes-admin-bridge.test.ts` - Admin write inventory, loopback/token gates, confirmation, and redaction coverage.
* `src/hooks/__tests__/use-hermes.test.tsx` - Public versus sensitive read token ownership coverage.
* `src/hooks/__tests__/use-hermes-admin.test.tsx` - Duplicate document write prevention and invalidation coverage.
* `src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-sections.test.tsx` - All-tab reachability and admin-disabled route coverage.
* `src/routes/__tests__/agents.test.tsx` - Hermes route-visible live and demo assertions.
* `tests/e2e/hermes-agent.spec.ts` - Browser coverage for all tabs, demo no-bridge behavior, global status pill, overflow checks, and Mnemosyne screenshots.
* `README.md` and `docs/CHANGELOG.md` - Public documentation of completed Hermes behavior and residual gaps.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase20-session02-cleanup-parity-signoff/implementation-notes.md` - Audit matrix, validation commands, and parity evidence.

**Review method**: Static code inspection, targeted search, focused tests, full quality gates, Playwright browser coverage, and visual inspection of generated Mnemosyne screenshots.

## Security Assessment

### Overall: PASS

| Category                      | Status | Severity | Details                                                                                                                                               |
| ----------------------------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Injection (SQLi, CMDi, LDAPi) | PASS   | --       | No SQL or LDAP surface was added. Admin command execution remains bridge-owned with spawn-safe argument construction and explicit confirmation paths. |
| Hardcoded Secrets             | PASS   | --       | No credentials, tokens, or secret material were added. Tests use synthetic token strings only.                                                        |
| Sensitive Data Exposure       | PASS   | --       | Chat SSE stdout/stderr redaction now uses command-output sanitization, and tests prove raw secret-like strings are not emitted.                       |
| Insecure Dependencies         | PASS   | --       | No new runtime or dev dependency was added for this session.                                                                                          |
| Security Misconfiguration     | PASS   | --       | Public reads stay token-free, sensitive reads stay token-gated, admin writes require loopback/token/preflight, and demo mode does not use bridge IO.  |
| Path Traversal                | PASS   | --       | Existing admin bridge confinement remains in place for document, vault, mirror, and Hermes-home write surfaces.                                       |

### Gate Summary

* Public read endpoints are confirmed token-free in bridge and hook tests.
* Sensitive read endpoints are confirmed token-gated in bridge and hook tests.
* Admin write endpoints are confirmed method-gated, loopback-gated, token-gated, and preflight-gated in the admin bridge tests.
* Duplicate admin document writes are suppressed while the first mutation is in flight.
* Demo mode renders without relying on live bridge or token endpoints.
* Destructive live writes against default local Hermes data were not run without operator opt-in.

### Findings

No security findings.

## Privacy And Data Handling Assessment

### Overall: PASS

| Category                   | Status | Details                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Data Collection & Purpose  | PASS   | The session adds tests and documentation around existing local Hermes data surfaces; it does not add new collection paths.            |
| Data Minimization          | PASS   | Browser-visible status and error output remains bounded and redacted.                                                                 |
| Local Data Boundary        | PASS   | Hermes reads and writes remain local bridge operations; hosted or remote write behavior is not claimed in docs.                       |
| PII in Logs                | PASS   | Test and documentation updates do not introduce PII logging. Redaction coverage was strengthened for command-output-like chat errors. |
| Third-Party Data Transfers | PASS   | No new third-party transfer path was added.                                                                                           |

### Personal Data Inventory

No new personal-data store, retention path, or third-party transfer was introduced in this session.

### Findings

No privacy findings.

***

## Residual Gaps

* No separate v2.3 dev-server screenshot was captured; parity evidence uses the v2.3 source checkout plus AI OS Playwright coverage and screenshots.
* Destructive live writes were intentionally not smoke-tested against default local Hermes data without operator opt-in.

***

## Sign-Off

* **Result**: PASS
* **Reviewed by**: AI implementation closeout
* **Date**: 2026-06-02

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-os-and-trend-finder.gitbook.io/ai-os-and-trend-finder-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase20-session02-cleanup-parity-signoff/security-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
