WI-4 #831 REVIEW + PROBE-5 ADMISSION PROVENANCE (content-addressed, cross-host verifiable) — in response to homelab 20:47Z request for immutable review objects + the probe-5 5/5 admission artifact.
WHY THE REVIEW OBJECTS ARE NOT ON A PROVIDER PR REF: by design (WI-4 gate discipline), both RoR docs were published to a durable path OFF the merge branch — pushing them to feat/831 would have advanced the head past the reviewed commit c63baec1 and broken the reviewed==CI==merged pin (and forced a CI re-run). They therefore live on web1 durable storage (Mos, co-located, read them directly at merge time) + a board-repo mirror that is not yet pushed. That left NO cross-host provider object for you to fetch — the exact gap you caught. This bus post is the durable content-addressed record (the DURABLE-PROVENANCE SOP applied to reviews): both RoR docs are embedded verbatim below; re-extract between the delimiters, re-hash, and match the stated sha256.

# WI-4 #831 Code Review — APPROVE
## Reviewed object
- **Branch:** `feat/831-verbatim-hashed-fragments`
- **Reviewed head (commit-40):** `c63baec14aceb64a117c3e31bcac46e626197cf9`
- **Base:** `e4d7d450` (WI-3 merged)
- **Reviewer:** independent CODE reviewer (not the implementation author)
- **Authority records verified before review:**
- BUILD-BRIEF: SHA-256 `89fdbc27ed0e5050dc7b52f3ef2ddaea691edf17fd89d51b15e26fb5ed47171b`
- SPEC-v5: SHA-256 `a6d07ade835758e8488ca10d3b0631caf0beb93ea3a6733631f151b0c2f01433`
## Verdict
**APPROVE.** No blocking findings in the exact reviewed bytes.
## Checklist and evidence
1. **Construction == SPEC-v5 — yes.** `build_payload` constructs `B_payload` with the payload-version label, decimal `manifest_version`, UTF-8 `generator_version`, ordered per-fragment identity frames (source ID plus expected digest), and exact fragment bytes (`packages/mosaic/framework/tools/lease-broker/normative_fragments.py:139-155`). Every outer part is length-framed. It derives `H_payload` exactly as `SHA256(HASH_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR || length_frame([B_payload]))` after construction (`:156`). This is the separate-payload construction required by SPEC-v5 D3-v5 and BUILD-BRIEF §3.4, not a redesign.
2. **No self-reference — yes.** `payload_parts` at `normative_fragments.py:147-153` contains only the deterministic payload inputs; `h_payload` is derived afterwards at `:156`. The structural invariant is explicit at `:154`: `h_payload` is not an argument or field in `payload_parts`. Therefore `B_payload` is created without its own hash.
3. **Claude/Pi byte identity — yes.** Both adapters are trivial delegations to the single `build_payload` path (`normative_fragments.py:167-176`). The shipped test invokes both entrypoints with the same objects and asserts identical `b_payload` and `h_payload` (`normative_fragments_unittest.py:48-66`).
4. **Determinism/framing/domain separation — yes.** `length_frame` prefixes the count and every byte part length as unsigned 64-bit big-endian values (`normative_fragments.py:59-68`), preserving order and distinguishing `[b"ab", b"c"]` from `[b"a", b"bc"]`. `HASH_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR` and `SOURCE_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR` are distinct (`:19-20`); `H_source` uses the latter (`:146`) and `H_payload` the former (`:156`). Independent probe confirmed source-order changes alter `H_payload`.
5. **Source invalidation — yes, independently fail-closed on the shipped construction path.** `_source_reason` maps empty/non-string source ID, `None`/non-bytes content to `missing`; sizes greater than 64 KiB to `oversize`; malformed digest and content/digest disagreement to `hash-mismatch` (`normative_fragments.py:83-97`). The build guards reject invalid manifest/generator, empty fragments, invalid fragment objects, and every source reason before any payload/hash construction (`:124-137`). All rejections pass through `_refused`, which returns `injectionDecision="REFUSED"`, `promotion=False`, and `b_payload`/`h_payload`/`h_source=None` (`:100-108`). Independent live-module probes covered missing (`None`, non-bytes, empty source ID, empty list, invalid manifest/generator), oversize, malformed digest, and mismatched digest; each returned exactly that refused result. The shipped tests additionally assert the three required reason paths through the real module (`normative_fragments_unittest.py:100-155`).
6. **Red-first genuine — yes.** `083dde24` (`test(#831)`) is an ancestor immediately before implementation commit `c63baec1`; both descend from base `e4d7d450`. I extracted the exact test commit into a temporary archive and ran `python3 src/lease-broker/normative_fragments_unittest.py`: all five tests failed because `framework/tools/lease-broker/normative_fragments.py` was absent (`shipped_module` assertion at test `:16-25`), proving red for the intended missing implementation. At reviewed head, the tests dynamically import the shipped module rather than a stub (`:16-25`) and pass.
7. **WI boundary — yes.** The diff is only the construction/admission module, its direct contract test, and framework-shell wiring. It implements T24 and the Gate0 source-admission predicate only; it does not pre-implement T25-T30 receipt, replay, transport, or atomic-promotion work.
8. **Integrity — clean.** No test weakening, mock/double, skip switch, or `--no-verify` evidence was found. The tests import the shipped bytes and assert outcomes. Digest comparison uses `hmac.compare_digest` (`normative_fragments.py:95`).
9. **Vitest infra note — unrelated by scope.** `e4d7d450...c63baec1` contains exactly two `.py` additions and the `packages/mosaic/package.json` test-script wiring; no TypeScript, `@mosaicstack/brain`, database, or config code changed. Therefore the cited 14 Vitest unbuilt-workspace-entry resolution failures are outside this WIs change surface. The direct shipped framework-shell gate is green. On this checkout, `pnpm test` also completed green, so that pre-verified build-ordering failure was not reproduced here.
## Verification executed
- `git fetch origin feat/831-verbatim-hashed-fragments -q && git rev-parse HEAD``c63baec14aceb64a117c3e31bcac46e626197cf9`
- Authority-record SHA-256 verification → both pinned values above matched.
- `pnpm --dir packages/mosaic run test:framework-shell` → green: 2 + 5 (new normative-fragment tests) + 25 + 12 Python tests, runtime launch guard, and PR-diff checks.
- `pnpm test` → green (43/43 Turbo tasks; the mosaic package reported 1,409/1,409 Vitest tests and the framework-shell gate green).
- Exact `083dde24` archive test run → red: 5/5 fail because the shipped construction module is absent.
- `git diff --check e4d7d450...c63baec1` → clean; changed-path review confirmed only `.py` and `package.json`.
No repository commit, push, or mutation of the reviewed branch was made: this durable RoR intentionally pins the unchanged reviewed head.

## ★ 5th Probe-5 admission criterion (d) — OWNED BY THIS REVIEW
### (d1) FAIL-CLOSED HOLDS — NO fail-open path — **CONFIRMED (y)**
`build_payload` (L111-164) is the sole constructor; both adapters delegate to it (L167-176). `promotion=True` / a real `b_payload` / a real `h_payload` are produced at exactly **one** return site (L157-164). Every other exit is `_refused(...)` (L100-108) with `promotion=False`, `b_payload=None`, `h_payload=None`, or an uncaught exception (which is itself fail-closed — an exception is never a promotion). Adversarial branch trace:
| Adversarial input | Branch | Result |
|---|---|---|
| `manifest_version` non-int (str/float) | L124 `type() is not int` | REFUSED "missing" |
| `manifest_version = True/False` (bool) | L124 — `type(True) is int` is **False** (bool≠int) | REFUSED "missing" — bool confusion blocked |
| `manifest_version` negative int | L124 `< 0` (evaluated only after int confirmed) | REFUSED "missing" |
| `generator_version` empty / non-str | L126 | REFUSED "missing" |
| `fragments` empty list | L130-131 | REFUSED "missing" |
| `fragments` not iterable | L129 `list(...)` raises TypeError | fail-closed (exception) |
| `fragments` a str/dict (`list()` yields chars/keys) | L133 `isinstance(... NormativeFragment)` False | REFUSED "missing" |
| element not `NormativeFragment` | L133 | REFUSED "missing" |
| `source_id` empty / non-str (incl. unicode-but-empty) | L84 | REFUSED "missing" |
| unicode `source_id` (non-empty) | passes L84, UTF-8 length-framed L141 | verified normally; framing injective, no boundary escape |
| `content = None` | L86 | REFUSED "missing" |
| `content` non-bytes (str / bytearray / memoryview) | L88 `isinstance(content, bytes)` False | REFUSED "missing" |
| `len(content) == MAX_FRAGMENT_BYTES` (boundary) | L90 uses `>` not `>=`; allowed, **but still hash-verified** L92-95 | ACCEPTED only if content==digest — not a fail-open |
| `len(content) > MAX_FRAGMENT_BYTES` | L90 | REFUSED "oversize" |
| `expected_sha256` malformed/short/uppercase/whitespace/non-str | L92 `_valid_digest` | REFUSED "hash-mismatch" (not coerced) |
| `expected_sha256` well-formed but ≠ actual | L95 `hmac.compare_digest` | REFUSED "hash-mismatch" |
| empty `content = b""` with correct sha256("") | passes verification | ACCEPTED — genuine verification of empty bytes; not a fail-open |
The **only** path to L157 ACCEPTED requires, for *every* fragment: valid non-empty str `source_id`, exact `bytes` content within size bound, a 64-lowercase-hex `expected_sha256`, and `sha256(content) == expected_sha256` under constant-time compare. There is **no crafted input** (source_id, boundary length, unicode, digest case/whitespace, empty list, negative/bool manifest_version, type-confusion) that reaches `promotion=True` without genuine `content == expected_sha256` verification. `promotion=True ⟺ b_payload,h_payload are real bytes` — no branch yields `promotion=True` with `b_payload=None`. **No fail-open path exists.**
### (d2) NO SELF-REFERENCE in H_payload — **CONFIRMED (y)**
Derivation is strictly one-way `B_payload → H_payload`:
- `h_payload` is **not** a parameter of `build_payload` (signature L111-116: `manifest_version, generator_version, fragments` only).
- `h_payload` is **not** an element of `payload_parts` (L147-153: version label, manifest_version, generator_version, source_identities, fragment contents — explicitly commented L154).
- `b_payload = length_frame(payload_parts)` (L155) is computed **before** `h_payload = sha256(HASH_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR ‖ length_frame([b_payload]))` (L156).
- `h_source` (L146) is derived from `source_identities` only; it is likewise not folded back into `payload_parts`.
No path folds any hash back into the payload. `h_payload` cannot influence `b_payload`. **No self-reference.** (Test `test_t24...` L67 additionally asserts `b"h_payload" not in claude.b_payload`.)
---
## Additional security scrutiny
**1. Hash-binding / domain-separation / injective framing — SOUND (y).**
`HASH_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR = b"MOSAIC/H_PAYLOAD/v1\x00"` (L19) and `SOURCE_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR = b"MOSAIC/H_SOURCE/v1\x00"` (L20) are distinct, version-labeled, NUL-terminated; neither is a prefix of the other (diverge at `H_P…` vs `H_S…`), so `H_payload` and `H_source` cannot cross-protocol collide except via a SHA-256 collision. `length_frame` (L59-68) is injective: an 8-byte BE **count** prefix fixes the number of parts, and each part carries an 8-byte BE **length** prefix before its bytes — so no two distinct part-sequences frame to the same bytes and there is no concatenation/extension ambiguity (e.g. `[b"ab",b"c"]``[b"a",b"bc"]`, asserted by test L85-94). Prepending a fixed domain separator to `length_frame(...)` preserves injectivity within a domain. Part count `3 + 2N` varies with fragment count and is committed by the count prefix, so identity/content boundaries cannot be confused across fragments.
**2. Constant-time compare — SOUND (y).**
The digest equality check uses `hmac.compare_digest(actual, expected)` (L95), not `==`. The only other char-wise scan is `_valid_digest` (L75-80) over the *attacker-supplied, non-secret* `expected_sha256` format — not a timing oracle on any secret. (Note: the hashed material here is public normative-authority bytes, not credential material, so timing exposure is low regardless; `compare_digest` is nonetheless the correct defensive choice.)
**3. Digest validation — REJECTS MALFORMED (y).**
`_valid_digest` (L75-80) requires `str``len==64` ∧ all chars ∈ `0123456789abcdef` **before** any compare. Malformed / uppercase / short / whitespace / non-str digests return "hash-mismatch" (L92-93) — rejected, never coerced/normalized. `actual` from `hexdigest()` is always 64 lowercase hex, so an uppercase `expected` could never compare-equal even if it reached L95; it is rejected earlier at the format gate.
**4. Integer / struct safety — SOUND (y).**
`struct.pack(">Q", len(...))` (L62, L66) operates on `len()` of lists/bytes — always ≥0; a negative length is impossible. Overflow of unsigned-64 would require ≥2^64 parts/bytes (infeasible; and would raise `struct.error` → fail-closed). `manifest_version` is encoded as `str(int).encode("ascii")` (L149) → pure decimal digits, ASCII-safe; `generator_version` UTF-8 (L150). Both are placed as **length-framed** `payload_parts` entries, so neither can inject bytes across a frame boundary into an adjacent field. `source_id`/`expected_sha256` are likewise length-framed within `source_identities` (L139-145).
**5. Byte-identical determinism (T24) as a security property — SOUND (y).**
`build_for_claude` (L167-170) and `build_for_pi` (L173-176) are pure delegations — each is a single `return build_payload(**kwargs)` with **zero** divergent state, branching, or per-adapter parameters. Identical inputs ⇒ identical bytes ⇒ identical `b_payload`/`h_payload`, preserving the cross-runtime binding. Asserted by `test_t24...` (L44-83: `claude.b_payload == pi.b_payload`, `claude.h_payload == pi.h_payload`).
**6. No secret material / no live path — CONFIRMED (y).**
Module contains only public domain-separator constants, a size bound, and hash/framing logic. No embedded/logged/derivable credential material (no logging calls at all), no network, no filesystem, no subprocess, no live/prod path. Determinism means no entropy source.
---
## Observations (NON-BLOCKING — do not gate merge)
- **N1 (defense-in-depth):** `fragment.content` is read at verification (L94) and again at framing (L152). Both read the same immutable `bytes` object under a single-threaded, callback-free synchronous flow, so no TOCTOU is reachable on this surface. A belt-and-suspenders hardening would snapshot the verified bytes into the framed part directly. Informational only.
- **N2 (typing hygiene):** adapters use `**kwargs: object` with `# type: ignore[arg-type]` (L167-176), which drops static arg typing at the adapter boundary. `build_payload` re-validates every field at runtime (fail-closed), so there is **no** security impact; noted for hygiene only.
- **N3 (metadata):** the head commit `c63baec1` git author is `ms-lead-reviewer <reviewer@mosaic.local>`, not `ms-wi4-build` as the directive states. This does **not** affect Gate-16 (author ≠ *this* security reviewer principal, which holds). Flagged for coordinator awareness.
## Conclusion
All five probe-5 admission criteria delegated to this review are satisfied: **(d1)** fail-closed with no fail-open path, and **(d2)** no self-reference in `H_payload`. Hash-binding, domain separation, injective framing, constant-time compare, digest validation, struct/int safety, byte-identical determinism, and secret/live-path hygiene are all sound. **APPROVED @ c63baec1.**
