# Security & Compliance Report

**Session ID**: `phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks` **Reviewed**: 2026-07-03 **Result**: PASS

## Scope

**Files reviewed**:

* `.spec_system/state.json` - spec workflow state touched before validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks/spec.md` - session requirements artifact.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks/tasks.md` - session checklist artifact.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks/implementation-notes.md` - implementation evidence artifact.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks/code-review.md` - resolved review artifact.
* `src/lib/hermes-types.ts` - route-mode helper and ready-status contract.
* `src/hooks/use-hermes.ts` - read hook route-mode and token-gated read behavior.
* `src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts` - write/admin hook capability gating.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-cli-cheatsheet.tsx` - route-mode consumer state mapping.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx` - local bridge support copy.
* `src/lib/__tests__/hermes-types.test.ts` - route-mode helper tests.
* `src/lib/__tests__/hermes-admin-types.test.ts` - admin parser compatibility tests.
* `src/hooks/__tests__/use-hermes.test.tsx` - read hook tests.
* `src/hooks/__tests__/use-hermes-admin.test.tsx` - admin hook tests.
* `src/routes/__tests__/agents.test.tsx` - Hermes route test expectation.
* `src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-sections.test.tsx` - Hermes fixture updates.
* `src/components/home/__tests__/knowledge-graph-section.test.tsx` - live-local fixture update.
* `src/components/knowledge-graph/__tests__/knowledge-graph-grounded-chat.test.tsx` - live-local fixture update.
* `src/components/knowledge-graph/__tests__/knowledge-graph-ingest-card.test.tsx` - live-local fixture update.
* `src/components/knowledge-graph/__tests__/knowledge-graph-page.test.tsx` - live-local fixture update.

**Review method**: Static analysis of session-touched files, changed-file inventory, secret-pattern scan, dependency-manifest diff check, and targeted behavioral inspection.

**Review evidence**:

* Command/check: `git diff --name-only 139ad798dfa94839bf20d712fe020aa86b1c793c; git ls-files --others --exclude-standard`
  * Result: PASS - session scope identified.
  * Evidence: 16 tracked modified files plus 4 untracked session artifacts before validation reports.
* Command/check: `git diff --find-renames 139ad798dfa94839bf20d712fe020aa86b1c793c -- src/lib/hermes-types.ts src/hooks/use-hermes.ts src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts src/components/hermes/hermes-cli-cheatsheet.tsx src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - production diff is limited to route-mode mapping, read/write readiness gates, and scoped support copy.
  * Evidence: no shell execution, SQL, dependency, storage, CORS, header, or credential configuration changes.
* Command/check: `rg -n "sk-[A-Za-z0-9]{20,}|ghp_[A-Za-z0-9]{20,}|xox[baprs]-[A-Za-z0-9-]{20,}|AIza[0-9A-Za-z_-]{20,}|-----BEGIN [A-Z ]*PRIVATE KEY-----|Bearer [A-Za-z0-9._~+/-]{20,}|password\\s*[:=]\\s*['\\\"][^'\\\"]{8,}|api[_-]?key\\s*[:=]\\s*['\\\"][^'\\\"]{8,}|secret\\s*[:=]\\s*['\\\"][^'\\\"]{8,}" [session touched files]`
  * Result: PASS - no secret-shaped strings were found.
  * Evidence: command exited 1 with no matches.
* Command/check: `git diff --name-only 139ad798dfa94839bf20d712fe020aa86b1c793c -- package.json bun.lock`
  * Result: N/A - no dependency manifests changed.
  * Evidence: command produced no output, so dependency audit is not applicable to this session.
* Command/check: targeted inspection of `src/hooks/use-hermes.ts:282-296`, `src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts:519-525`, and `src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts:826-938`
  * Result: PASS - sensitive reads and writes remain token-gated, and chat writes keep duplicate-trigger and failure handling.
  * Evidence: token query gates sensitive reads; `writeReady` plus token gates admin capability; in-flight ref and `finally` reset preserve mutation safety.

## Security Assessment

### Overall: PASS

| Category                      | Status | Severity | Details                                                                                                                                           |
| ----------------------------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Injection (SQLi, CMDi, LDAPi) | PASS   | --       | No SQL, shell, LDAP, or command-construction changes; dynamic route params use existing encoded fetch paths.                                      |
| Hardcoded Secrets             | PASS   | --       | Secret-pattern scan found no secret-shaped strings; tests use fixture-only tokens.                                                                |
| Sensitive Data Exposure       | PASS   | --       | Sensitive reads and writes remain same-run-token gated; no logs, raw paths, prompts, transcripts, or auth JSON were added to browser-facing code. |
| Insecure Dependencies         | N/A    | --       | `package.json` and `bun.lock` were not changed.                                                                                                   |
| Security Misconfiguration     | PASS   | --       | No CORS, headers, debug mode, endpoint exposure, or local bridge server configuration changed.                                                    |

# 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/specs/phase41-session03-hermes-route-modes-and-hooks/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.
