Additional finding (no line in this PR's diff to anchor it to — schemas/code-result.schema.json line 7 isn't within the changed hunk):
[MEDIUM] target_branch kept unconditionally required, untested for the broken-tooling needs_input scenario — schemas/code-result.schema.json:7-8
The schema keeps required: ["target_branch"] unconditional even when needs_input is set. The PR's own design doc (docs/plans/code-agent-needs-input.md) justifies this only as "per current design the agent always writes target_branch regardless" and explicitly lists it under "Open items to watch during implementation" as an unconfirmed assumption, not a verified guarantee. The PR's stated motivation for needs_input is two-fold — (1) a genuinely uninterpretable issue and (2) broken sandbox tooling/environment — but only scenario (1) got an eval case (eval/code/cases/002-push-back-on-nonsense/); there is no case exercising a broken-environment run where the agent's normal means of determining target_branch (git/gh calls) might also fail. If that happens, agent-result.json fails schema validation, validation_loop skips post_script per ADR 0022, and the needs_input signal this feature exists to produce is lost silently — regressing to the pre-PR generic no-op.
Suggestion: Either add an eval case simulating broken tooling (unrelated to git/gh) to confirm target_branch is still reliably produced, or relax the schema so target_branch is optional when needs_input is set (e.g. via oneOf/if-then), since no push/PR happens on the needs_input path regardless of target_branch's value.

Re: #682 (comment) Good catch on the schema-compliance line in SKILL.md step 11 — it still said only On the protected-path note: intentional — this feature has to touch scripts/, harness/, and skills/ to exist at all. The schema-compatibility point (optional field + additionalProperties: false being backward-incompatible for a stale CLI copy of the schema) is a real question but not one I can resolve unilaterally — flagging it for a human to confirm how the fullsend CLI resolves this schema at runtime. |

[HIGH] scripts/post-code.src.sh:248 — PUSH_TOKEN log-masking is registered after the needs_input path already makes several PUSH_TOKEN-authenticated calls
(Not attachable inline: this line is unchanged code, outside the PR's diff hunks.)
echo "::add-mask::${PUSH_TOKEN}" at line 248 only executes after target-branch resolution, which is well past the if [ -n "${NEEDS_INPUT}" ]; then post_needs_input_comment "${NEEDS_INPUT}"; exit 0; fi block (lines 209-213). post_needs_input_comment calls _post_failure_ensure_token (exports GH_TOKEN=PUSH_TOKEN when unset) and then issues gh label create, two gh api .../labels calls, gh pr list, gh api repos/.../ --jq .default_branch, and gh issue comment, then exit 0s — none of these ever pass through the GitHub Actions log-mask registration for the token, since the exit happens before line 248 is reached. This script's own header explicitly calls out token handling as the reason it is "the most security-sensitive component in the pipeline," and needs_input is a normal, expected, exit-0 outcome this whole PR builds a workflow around — not a rare edge case — so this is now a routine, frequently-exercised path missing the log-redaction layer.
Suggestion: Move echo "::add-mask::${PUSH_TOKEN}" to immediately after : "${PUSH_TOKEN:?PUSH_TOKEN is required}" near the top of the script, before the ERR trap and before any code path (including post_needs_input_comment and the pre-existing early post_fail_to_issue calls that share the same gap) can use the token.
…ame in comments harness/code.yaml hardcoded CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL to the default label instead of passing through the runner env var, silently defeating the operator override the script and its tests expect. post-code.src.sh interpolated the raw current_branch (chosen by the code agent while processing potentially adversarial issue content) into a public GitHub comment wrapped only in backticks. Git ref names permit backticks, so a malicious branch name could break out of the markdown code span and inject content into a comment posted with the bot's write token. Validate current_branch against the same safe-charset regex used for AGENT_TARGET and substitute a redacted placeholder when it fails, while still using the real branch name for the underlying gh/git checks.

The passthrough broke CI: fullsend validates env.runner strictly and errors if a referenced host variable is entirely unset, not just empty. CODE_ALLOWED_TARGET_BRANCHES avoids this because eval/scripts/run-fullsend.sh explicitly emits it (even empty). CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL has no such emitter here, and no external reusable workflow forwards it into the runner env either, so treating it as an operator-configurable env var would break every production run of the code agent, not just eval. The label is still configurable the same way CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL plumbing exists for at all: operators fork/edit harness/code.yaml directly to change the literal value. The script's own :-fs-code-needs-input fallback and its env-override test are unrelated to the harness and remain valid on their own.

Move `echo "::add-mask::${PUSH_TOKEN}"` from after branch resolution to
immediately after PUSH_TOKEN validation, so the token is masked in GHA
logs even when the needs_input early-exit path is taken (which previously
exited before the masking line ran).
Addresses review feedback on #682
- Add gitleaks secret scan for needs_input text before posting as an issue comment, matching the pr_body scanning pattern. Falls back to a generic redacted message if secrets are detected. - Create eval/code/repos/tiny-calc-neutral/ with a correct add() implementation (no BUG comment, passing tests) and update case 002 to use it, removing environmental bias that favored one side of the contradictory requirement. - Document CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL in post-code script headers and docs/code.md Variables table. - Remove stale "prefer committing with a disclosed issue" sentence from SKILL.md that contradicted the needs_input contract. - Update Step 11 prose to list needs_input alongside pr_body and closes_issue as an allowed optional field. Addresses review feedback on #682
- harness/code.yaml: change CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL from hardcoded
"fs-code-needs-input" to "${CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL}" passthrough,
matching the pattern used by every sibling env.runner entry
- schemas/code-result.schema.json: make target_branch conditionally
required — only when needs_input is absent — so a broken-tooling
scenario where target_branch cannot be determined still surfaces the
needs_input signal instead of failing schema validation silently
- post-code.src.sh: apply fs-code-needs-input-conflict label when the
contract-violation guard detects local commits or an existing PR
alongside needs_input, providing a machine-queryable signal
- Update docs/code.md and script headers to reflect the passthrough
- Add tests for all three changes

Changed CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL to passthrough pattern, added machine-queryable conflict label for contract violations, and relaxed the schema so target_branch is optional when needs_input is set.

Agents reviewing PRs (see fullsend-ai#682) have been flagging literal values in harness env.runner/env.sandbox blocks as hardcoded bugs and suggesting ${VAR} passthrough or a CI workflow env: entry instead. Per ADRs 0080/0081 in fullsend-ai/fullsend, literals are the intended shape and base: composition is the only supported override path. Add terse guidance to AGENTS.md so this stops recurring.

[CRITICAL] needs_input path still calls gitleaks before install_gitleaks runs — this commit masked the bug with a test mock instead of fixing it
This was already flagged inline (see the thread above, 2026-08-13T13:01:55Z) and the reply there said "let's just move the existing call earlier and add that test." The actual current head commit (9d5fea223, "fix(#682): mock gitleaks in needs-input test, add eval env var") does neither: git show 9d5fea223 --stat shows only eval/scripts/run-fullsend.sh and scripts/post-code-needs-input-test.sh changed — scripts/post-code.src.sh and the bundled scripts/post-code.sh are untouched.
Verified against the current head: post_needs_input_comment() (defined at line 228) still calls gitleaks detect --source "${ni_tmp}" --no-git --redact directly at this line, while install_gitleaks (from lib/gitleaks-install.lib.sh) is still only invoked later at line 602 — unreachable from the needs_input early-exit at lines 399-403, which calls post_needs_input_comment and then exit 0 before install_gitleaks ever runs. Same structure mirrored in the bundled scripts/post-code.sh (post_needs_input_comment at line 908, gitleaks detect at line 983, install_gitleaks call at line 1282, early-exit at lines 1079-1082).
Instead, the commit adds a mock gitleaks binary (always exit 0) to the test's MOCK_BIN, per its own message: "gitleaks is installed later by install_gitleaks(), well past the needs_input early-exit path... Add a mock gitleaks binary (exit 0, no secrets) to MOCK_BIN in the test." That makes the test pass without exercising the real gitleaks-absent code path — the exact masking pattern the original finding called out. On any runner where gitleaks isn't already on PATH, gitleaks detect still fails with exit 127 and the code still replaces the agent's real needs_input explanation with the generic "(Content redacted — secret scan of the agent's explanation failed...)" message. The production bug is unresolved; only the test that would catch it in CI is now blinded to it.
Suggestion: Call install_gitleaks (or a lightweight PATH check that no-ops the scan when gitleaks is genuinely absent, rather than treating absence as a scan failure) inside post_needs_input_comment before the gitleaks detect call, in both post-code.src.sh and the bundled post-code.sh. Then remove or repurpose the new test mock so the test exercises the real gitleaks-install path (e.g. assert install_gitleaks was invoked, or run without any mock and confirm the real binary gets installed) instead of pre-seeding a fake binary that hides the underlying gap.

[low] consumer-completeness
Step 11 describes target_branch as always (required) but the schema now makes it conditionally required (only when needs_input is absent via if/then). In broken-environment scenarios where the agent cannot determine a target branch, this prose could mislead the agent into thinking it must always provide one. The schema validation handles the conditional requirement correctly, so the practical impact is minimal.
Suggested fix: Update step 11 to: The file must be valid JSON with target_branch (required when needs_input is not set) and optionally pr_body, closes_issue, and needs_input

[low] injection
The existing_pr_url value from gh pr list in post_needs_input_comment() is interpolated into the issue comment body without URL validation. The GitHub API constrains URLs to https://github.com/... format, making exploitation practically impossible; validating the URL pattern would add defense-in-depth.

Automated review sweep — 4 inline findings above; 2 more below with no usable inline anchor (affected lines sit outside this PR's diff hunks).
[MEDIUM] Global "Time budget" section still tells the agent to commit failing tests under time pressure, contradicting the new needs_input policy — skills/code-implementation/SKILL.md:96-99 (pre-existing text, outside this PR's diff hunks)
Lines 96-99 ("Before a retry in 9c: If less than 20% of the budget remaining, do NOT retry. Commit what you have with a disclosure that tests failed...") are unchanged and still tell the agent to commit code with known-failing tests when time is short. The step-9c section this PR rewrote (lines 629-641) now says the opposite: "Do NOT silently skip tests or linters and commit as if everything passed... use needs_input... do not commit." A prior review thread flagged and got a similar sentence removed at the old line 658 ("Prefer committing with a disclosed issue..."), but this separate occurrence in the earlier "Time budget" section wasn't touched and still gives the agent contradictory instructions depending on which section it reads first.
Suggestion: update the "Time budget" section's low-remaining-budget guidance to route to needs_input (no commit) instead of "commit what you have", matching the stricter rule the PR introduced in step 9c.
[MEDIUM] Successful PR creation never clears a stale fs-code-needs-input (or -conflict) label — scripts/post-code.src.sh:1025 and :869-883 (pre-existing code, outside this PR's diff hunks)
Neither the PR-creation success path (around gh pr create at line 1025, which applies ready-for-review at lines 1040-1049) nor the existing-PR fast path (lines 869-883) removes fs-code-needs-input or fs-code-needs-input-conflict. Re-running /fs-code after a needs_input round and successfully producing a PR leaves the stale needs-input label(s) on the issue alongside the new PR, which is misleading for anyone triaging by label.
Suggestion: remove fs-code-needs-input (and its -conflict variant, if present) on both success paths, mirroring how ready-to-code is removed on the needs_input path.

[MEDIUM] needs_input existing-PR check omits cross-fork owner filter used elsewhere in the same file
post_needs_input_comment()'s contract-violation guard looks up an existing PR with gh pr list --repo "${REPO_FULL_NAME}" --head "${current_branch}" --json url --jq '.[0].url // empty'. Two other head-branch lookups in this same file (lines ~811 and ~869) explicitly add --json number,headRepositoryOwner and filter with select(.headRepositoryOwner.login == "${REPO_FULL_NAME%%/*}") to avoid matching a same-named branch opened from an unrelated fork. This lookup omits that filter, so on a public repo it can attribute someone else's PR to this branch in the comment posted to the issue.
Suggestion: add --json number,headRepositoryOwner plus the select(.headRepositoryOwner.login == "${REPO_FULL_NAME%%/*}") filter here, mirroring lines 811/869.

Removes `ready-to-code`. No PR is opened; the agent posts a comment explaining what it needs. Remove the label and re-trigger with `/fs-code` once resolved. | |

[MEDIUM] fs-code-needs-input-conflict label undocumented
scripts/post-code.src.sh (~lines 331-342) creates and applies a second label ${label}-conflict (default fs-code-needs-input-conflict) whenever the agent violates the needs_input contract (leftover commits or an open PR). This Control-labels table documents only fs-code-needs-input; the -conflict variant is never mentioned here or in the CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL row (line 52), so a repo owner has no documented way to learn what this label means or how it derives its name.
Suggestion: add a Control-labels row for <CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL>-conflict explaining when it's applied, and note in the CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL description that the conflict label's name derives from it.

[MEDIUM] forbidden list doesn't assert ready-to-code was removed
forbidden: [] is empty, and eval.yaml's forbidden_labels judge only checks labels listed here — it does not independently verify that ready-to-code was removed. Since post_needs_input_comment's label removal (gh api .../labels/ready-to-code -X DELETE) is best-effort and can silently fail without failing the run, this case has no judge that would catch a regression where needs_input is set but ready-to-code is left behind.
Suggestion: add ready-to-code (and optionally ready-for-review) to the forbidden list so the eval actually exercises this part of the contract.

[MEDIUM] Fixture still asserts one specific answer to the stated contradiction
This fixture was added to replace the shared tiny-calc fixture after a prior review flagged that it biased the agent via a # BUG comment and a failing test. The new fixture removes the bug/comment and makes add() correctly return a + b, but test_calc.py still hardcodes assert add(2, 3) == 5 (and add(-1, -2) == -3) — one specific side of the contradiction the issue is supposed to present as genuinely ambiguous. A conservative agent can observe the passing test and existing correct-looking implementation as the "right" interpretation and never surface the ambiguity the case is meant to force, weakening confidence that a pass measures "agent recognizes an unsatisfiable requirement" rather than "agent trusted the pre-existing test."
Suggestion: remove or neutralize the behavioral assertions in this file (e.g., signature-only checks) so neither the implementation nor the tests favor one side of the contradiction the eval case is designed to test.

[MEDIUM] CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL flows unsanitized into gh api -f and public comment text
In post_needs_input_comment(), local label="${CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL:-fs-code-needs-input}" (line 235) is used unsanitized in gh label create "${label}" ... (236), gh api .../labels -f "labels[]=${label}" (239-241), the derived conflict_label="${label}-conflict" (336) fed through the same two call shapes (337-342), and interpolated directly into the public issue-comment body (line 353, ...remove the \${label}` label...). Verified on current head 977a9ec7 — no charset/length validation exists anywhere on this value, unlike agent-controlled label values elsewhere in the codebase (e.g. post-review.sh:340, post-triage.sh:638 validate LA_LABEL against ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/:\ +-]+$before use). CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL is now sourced via a runner-env passthrough (harness/code.yaml:54,"${CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL}", restored after being reverted to hardcoded and then reinstated), so it's operator/host-config controlled rather than agent-controlled — but it still lands on a write-token gh api` call and in comment markdown with no defense-in-depth check.
Suggestion: validate CODE_NEEDS_INPUT_LABEL (and the derived conflict_label) against a GitHub-safe label charset and length limit (accounting for the appended -conflict suffix) before using it in gh label create / gh api -f / the comment body, mirroring the validation already applied to agent-controlled label values in post-review.sh and post-triage.sh.
