CRITICAL-1: Guard workflow transitions with current phase check — prevents state pollution from manual operations in non-pipeline sessions CRITICAL-2: parseFindings() now matches structured patterns ([CRITICAL], **HIGH**) at line start, excludes injected context and negations CRITICAL-3: Remove --no-verify from team.ts auto-commit — pre-commit hooks must not be bypassed for security/quality gates HIGH-1: Use MUTATING_TOOLS.has() in tool.execute.before — multiedit now gated for secret files, config files, and version baselines HIGH-2: Increment workflow_review_attempts in autoReview(), cap at 3 — blocks infinite review loops with workflow_phase="blocked" HIGH-3: All phase transitions guarded by currentPhase check — PR create only from "implementing", test pass only from "testing", merge only from "shipping" HIGH-4: Ship agent denies gh pr merge --admin and --auto flags Also: system.transform issue guidance gated behind active pipeline, ci_green resets to false on non-passing checks Code-reviewer: 3 CRITICAL + 4 HIGH + 5 MEDIUM + 3 LOW (all CRITICAL/HIGH addressed) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Follow-up hardening of the guardrails autonomous workflow pipeline based on prior code-review findings (phase transition gating, auto-review parsing/attempt limits, safer ship-agent permissions, and removing auto-commit hook bypass).
Changes:
- Removes
--no-verifyfromteam.tsauto-commit during worktree merge-back. - Updates guardrail auto-review parsing and introduces
workflow_review_attemptstracking with a max-attempts block. - Tightens workflow phase transitions and tool gating (including
multiedit) and restricts ship-agent merge flags.

parseFindings() skips any line containing the word "not" (and other negation tokens). This will incorrectly ignore legitimate findings like "- CRITICAL: do not ..." or "HIGH: not safe ...", causing undercounting of findings and weakening review gates. Consider tightening negation detection to only match explicit summary lines (e.g., lines that start with "No/Zero/None" + severity), or run the structured severity match first and only apply negation filtering when the line is a negated summary.

The review-attempt cap looks off by one: attempts is incremented before the check, and the code blocks when attempts >= 3. That allows only 2 completed review cycles even though the workflow prompt says "max 3 cycles". If the intent is to allow up to 3 attempts, block only when attempts > 3 (or >= 4), and still persist the incremented count consistently.

bashData is referenced here but is not defined in the tool.execute.after hook scope (only data is). This will fail typecheck / runtime. Use the data already loaded in this hook, or fetch a fresh snapshot with await stash(state) inside this block before reading workflow_phase.

The comment says follow-up issue guidance is shown only during an "active pipeline", but the condition includes the "blocked" phase (it only excludes idle/done). If blocked should not be treated as active, align this condition with the pipelineActive logic (exclude "blocked" too).

The deny rules for gh pr merge flags are ineffective as written: permission evaluation uses the last matching rule, and "gh pr merge*": allow comes after the deny entries, overriding them for --admin/--auto merges. Also, the patterns "gh pr merge * --admin*" / "... * --auto*" can be bypassed by putting the flag first (e.g., gh pr merge --admin 123). Move the deny rules after the allow rule (or narrow the allow rule), and use patterns that match the flag in any position (e.g., without requiring an extra arg before the flag).
