CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): fold CodeRabbit findings on #2714 (tsk-fjmxzo): Agent state versioning: git-in-container with auto-commit + history/revert API

Autonomous build of board card tsk-4vogow.

REVISION: built on exec/tsk-fjmxzo (cut at 9d0e2949008aafb780d60b1a36f773de767376a1), not on dev. That branch's
commits are ancestors of this one. Verified by git merge-base --is-ancestor
before the PR was opened.

- Initialise a git repo inside each agent container at deploy time with
  a .gitignore that excludes secrets and bulk artefacts, and commit
  identity set to the agent slug.
- Ship a small debounced auto-committer script that runs as a background
  loop inside the container, committing dirty trees with a timestamp +
  changed-file-summary message.
- Add controller API routes: GET /api/agents/{name}/versions,
  GET /api/agents/{name}/versions/{sha}/diff,
  POST /api/agents/{name}/versions/{sha}/revert.
- Add changelog fragment and tests for committer, routes, and deployer
  steps.

Docs-Reviewed: agent-coordination.md has no route table; new /api/agents/{name}/versions routes are self-documenting via the route file.
…, 2) git_revert uses single operation, 3) agent_committer excludes Git stat footer

Lead review: holding this PR (lead-blocked). Findings 2, 3 and 4 from tsk-4vogow are folded and look right (git_log propagation, single-op revert, stat footer). Finding 1 — snapshot-restore semantics — has neither a commit nor a refutation paragraph: git revert --no-edit <sha> still inverts one commit, so reverting to the initial commit removes README.md instead of restoring it. CodeRabbit also posted three further findings on #2714 that the fold card never carried (trace dir committed into history, remote container target not persisted, and sha reaching git argv unvalidated — externally reachable argument injection).

Fix-forward card tsk-yn5gze carries all four with the acceptance bar; it builds on exec/tsk-4vogow and its PR supersedes this one. Source card tsk-4vogow closed.

CRITICAL: git_revert --no-edit <sha> is a reverse-apply of one commit, not a snapshot restore. The PR title and changelog promise "revert the state repo to a prior commit", but with this implementation reverting the initial commit deletes the files it added instead of restoring the working tree to that earlier state. The lead reviewer already flagged this on the PR; the fix-forward card tsk-yn5gze is supposed to address it. Either change semantics to git reset --hard <sha> (with the obvious caveats) or rename the endpoint and document the inverse-commit semantics.

CRITICAL: Externally reachable argument injection via git argv. The sha path parameter from /api/agents/{name}/versions/{sha}/{diff,revert} is concatenated straight into the git argv (["revert", "--no-edit", sha]). A user-supplied value starting with - (e.g. --upload-pack=..., --exec=...) is interpreted as a git option. Validate sha against ^[0-9a-fA-F]{4,64}$ (and ideally --end-of-options before the user value) before passing it through. The same issue applies to git_diff on line 100 and git_log's f"--format={fmt}" is safer but the formatted string still embeds | separators vulnerable to author-name | content (see git_log).

WARNING: git_log parses output with line.split("|", 4) over a user-controlled --format=%H|%s|%an|%ae|%ai. Author name or email containing | (legal in git) shifts columns silently; the resulting dict will have wrong fields and the loop will drop lines via the len(parts) == 5 guard. Use a delimiter that cannot appear in any field (e.g. NUL \0 with -z, or %x1f unit-separator) and split with split("\0", 4) / split("\x1f", 4).

WARNING: git_diff raises RuntimeError for any non-zero rc, but the route maps it to HTTP 404 ("not found"). When the container is down or git is broken, callers get a misleading 404 instead of a 5xx/409. Distinguish "bad sha" (parse stderr for unknown revision → 404) from "git command failed for other reasons" (→ 409 container_unreachable, like the list endpoint).

WARNING: _changed_summary is called before _git("add", "-A") (see line 54). The first _git("diff", "--cached", "--stat") therefore always returns empty for a dirty-but-unstaged tree (which is the common case, since git add only runs after the summary is captured). It then falls back to _git("diff", "--stat") against the working tree, which works but bypasses the intended staged-stats path. Either stage first then read --cached --stat, or call _git("add", "-A") once at the top of _commit before building the message.

SUGGESTION: The "exclude stat footer" heuristic (if "files changed" in lines[-1]: lines = lines[:-1]) silently corrupts a perfectly legitimate file summary whose content happens to contain the substring files changed (e.g. an agent memory note titled "2 files changed in Q3 review.md"). Parse git diff --stat with --numstat (TSV, no footer) or check line.split() for the trailing token pattern instead of substring matching.

WARNING: push_file to /root/.taos/agent_committer.py will fail if /root/.taos/ does not already exist (fresh container, or any prior deploy that never created the dir). The whole block is wrapped in try/except Exception that only logs a warning, so the failure is invisible: committer_installed is silently absent from steps, but success: True is returned. Add await exec_in_container(container_name, ["mkdir", "-p", "/root/.taos"]) before the push_file, and surface push failures as steps.append("committer_install_failed").

WARNING: nohup ... & from inside an exec_in_container shell does not survive the exec session on every backend. On LXC (depending on lxc-attach flavor) the spawned process can be killed when the exec command returns. There is also no supervisor: if the committer dies (or the container restarts), nothing relaunches it. Either run it under a small init/loopback (e.g. an entrypoint hook or a systemd-style watchdog) or document the restart requirement.

Code Review Summary

Status: 10 Issues Found | Recommendation: Address before merge

Overview

Severity Count
CRITICAL 2
WARNING 5
SUGGESTION 2

Lead reviewer (jaylfc) already placed a lead-blocked hold on this PR citing finding 1 (snapshot-restore semantics) and three additional CodeRabbit issues from #2714 (trace dir committed, remote container target not persisted, sha reaching git argv unvalidated). The findings below extend that set with the same sha-argv issue plus five more, but the merge-blocker is the same one the lead already flagged.

Issue Details (click to expand)

CRITICAL

File Line Issue
tinyagentos/agent_git.py 106 git_revert --no-edit <sha> reverse-applies one commit, not a snapshot restore; reverting the initial commit deletes its files instead of restoring earlier state.
tinyagentos/agent_git.py 107 Externally reachable argument injection: user-supplied sha path param is concatenated straight into git argv; values starting with - are interpreted as git options.

WARNING

File Line Issue
tinyagentos/agent_git.py 80 git_log pipe-delimited format breaks when author name/email contains `
tinyagentos/agent_git.py 100 git_diff raises RuntimeError for any failure but route maps to HTTP 404, hiding container-down from callers.
tinyagentos/scripts/agent_committer.py 60 except Exception: pass in the committer loop silently swallows all errors (lock contention, ENOSPC, etc.).
tinyagentos/scripts/agent_committer.py 33 _changed_summary is called before git add -A, so --cached --stat is always empty and falls back to unstaged.
tinyagentos/deployer.py 744 push_file to /root/.taos/agent_committer.py fails if /root/.taos/ doesn't exist; failure is swallowed by try/except so deploy still reports success: True.
tinyagentos/deployer.py 757 nohup ... & from exec_in_container may not survive the exec session on LXC, and no supervisor restarts the committer on container restart.

SUGGESTION

File Line Issue
tinyagentos/scripts/agent_committer.py 41 Stat-footer exclusion by substring "files changed" corrupts legitimate file summaries that contain that phrase.
tinyagentos/deployer.py 750 chmod +x is dead code: the file is always invoked as python3 ....

Closed mechanically: superseded by #2751.

exec/tsk-2z6kr6 (4974a7f) is a strict superset of this PR's exec/tsk-4vogow (e3aed75) — every commit here is contained there, and it carries more.

Evidence (compare/e3aed75b3...4974a7fc4): status=ahead ahead_by=4 behind_by=0. Both directions are checked: behind_by == 0 proves containment, ahead_by > 0 proves it is a strict superset rather than an identical head — one direction alone cannot tell those apart.

No work is lost. This closes the fix-forward accounting gap the per-repo throttle already assumed was closed (next_card.py:300-307), which until now nothing implemented: a fix-forward is supposed to TRADE an open slot, not add one. Reopen if this reads wrong — the predicate declines on identical, behind, and diverged heads, so a close here means containment was measured.
