      <title>ai-safe2-framework CLI_v1.0.1</title>
      <link>https://github.com/CyberStrategyInstitute/ai-safe2-framework/releases/tag/CLI_v1.0.1</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://github.com/CyberStrategyInstitute/ai-safe2-framework/releases/tag/CLI_v1.0.1</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 17:01:54 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>AI SAFE² CLI v1.0.1 hardens MCP scoring, skill trust gating, and wrap-mode blocking with new rules TG-013 to TG-024.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds rules TG-013 to TG-024 to `safe2 gate skill`, rejecting hostile skills including paraphrased overrides, Unicode tags, homoglyphs, env exfiltration, persistence, and trigger hijack.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Extends `safe2 scan mcp` / `safe2 gate mcp PATH` to detect Python and TypeScript sinks previously missed, obfuscated execution, and evasion via file renaming (e.g. renaming a vulnerable file to `test_server.py`).
• Updates `safe2 score mcp` / `safe2 gate mcp URL` so self-attestation (`.well-known/mcp-security.json`) and unvalidated OAuth metadata no longer contribute to the score; hostile schema content caps the score, withholds the badge, and causes `safe2 gate mcp` to exit 1.
• Updates `safe2 mcp wrap-stdio --block` to withhold poisoned tool output rather than delivering it to the client.
• Adds schema-pinning to `safe2 mcp wrap-proxy --pin-schema` to withhold a rug-pulled catalog when the tool schema changes unexpectedly.
• Updates `safe2 gate` (project gate) so a CRITICAL finding caps the overall score, preventing a project using `shell=True` and eval() on LLM output from clearing Tier 2.
• Publishes `ai-safe2==1.0.1` to PyPI for the first time (1.0.0 shipped on GitHub only), installable via `pip install &apos;ai-safe2[all]==1.0.1&apos;`.
Breaking changes:
• DEP findings now cite `MCP-4` instead of `MCP-3`, matching the v3.1 control map — any automation that matches on the old finding ID will stop matching.
• Scores and gate results from 1.0.0 or 0.9.x are no longer reliable; gates must be re-run to get valid results under 1.0.1 scoring logic.

• Adds `safe2 evidence claims` command to compare explicit agent claims against receipts, disclosures, conflicts, and missing evidence.
• Adds `safe2 evidence truth` command to correlate attributed evidence across multiple harnesses while preserving coverage gaps.
• Adds `safe2 evidence diagnose` command to rank evidence-backed investigation paths without asserting a verified root cause.
• Adds `safe2 aism plan` command to convert confirmed AISM findings into a reviewable remediation plan without granting execution authority.
• Adds `safe2 challenge` command to run or import bounded Challenge Lab evidence while preserving provider verdicts, provenance, and disagreements.
• Adds `safe2 acceptance` command to create and replay an offline first-user acceptance bundle.
• Adds `safe2 self-check --strict` for installation self-verification and `safe2 init . --profile local` for bounded project initialization.
• Adds `--scan-content` and `--inspect-config` flags to `safe2 assess` for explicit opt-in to content and configuration inspection.
• Includes Codex JSONL and OpenTelemetry reference translators, plus attributed NVIDIA SkillSpector and NEXUS evidence intake.
• Delivers provider-neutral adapter and evidence contracts that bind attributed evidence across agents and scanners without conflating source confidence levels.
• Introduces four result states — Evidence-consistent, Contradicted, Unverifiable, and Limited — as the canonical vocabulary for all command outputs.

      <title>ai-safe2-framework nexus-v0.5.0</title>
      <link>https://github.com/CyberStrategyInstitute/ai-safe2-framework/releases/tag/nexus-v0.5.0</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://github.com/CyberStrategyInstitute/ai-safe2-framework/releases/tag/nexus-v0.5.0</guid>
      <pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 23:43:38 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>NEXUS v0.5.0 debuts the Sovereign Payment Gateway — a deterministic, fail-closed security boundary for AI agents that can initiate or influence payments.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds the `nexus-a2a-sdk==0.5.0` Python package (import `nexus_sdk`) delivering the Sovereign Payment Gateway — a monotonic, fail-closed transaction lifecycle that prevents AI agents from self-granting authority, accessing unrestricted payment keys, or overriding deterministic controls.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds the Key Guardian component, which isolates signing authority from the agent and signs only approved canonical transactions.
• Adds the Policy Authority component for independent deterministic evaluation of payment policy.
• Adds the Runtime Verifier component, which confirms the executing workload matches an approved, sufficiently fresh measurement before value is allowed to move.
• Adds the Human Intent Authority component, binding approval to actual transaction constraints and trusted rendering rather than agent-generated descriptions.
• Adds the Settlement Truth Authority component, which obtains payment outcomes from authoritative external sources instead of trusting the agent.
• Adds the Gateway State Vault for durable storage of authority, exposure, replay, revocation, reservation, and settlement state.
• Adds the Policy Parity Guard, which detects divergence between policy implementations before activation.
• Adds the Sovereign Payment Coordinator, composing all controls into an ordered, fail-closed execution path.
• Adds Governed Recovery to handle ambiguous settlement without unsafe retries or premature restoration of spending capacity.
• Adds Sandbox Rail Readiness enforcement to prevent unverified payment integrations from being promoted into active use.
• Adds Deployment Proof and Readiness, producing a signed, independently verifiable activation decision.
• Adds an `llms.txt` retrieval index and a versioned machine-readable documentation manifest under the canonical `/NEXUS` directory for agent-consumable documentation discovery.
• Counters prompt-injection-driven purchases, replay and duplicate-payment attacks, authority escalation by child agents, spending split across agents to evade limits, protocol and checkout downgrades, and revocation races as named threat categories in the included payment threat model.

• Adds `safe2 challenge execute` command to run the six frozen Challenge 001 scenarios as separate bounded process calls after explicit operator authorization via `--authorize-process-execution`.
• Adds `safe2 challenge verify-execution` command to recheck the plan, source, normalized run, receipt, command-file digests, and optional identity binding without re-running the evaluator.
• Adds `safe2.challenge-execution-plan.v1` schema providing a strict, machine-readable pre-registration contract binding the executable, file arguments, provider declaration, treatment, and limits.
• Adds `safe2.challenge-execution-receipt.v1` schema providing a sealed record of cross-artifact and per-episode evidence bindings, including before-and-after SHA-256 digests for the executable and file arguments.
• Adds evidence-manifest support so plans and execution receipts can enter the existing AI SAFE² evidence inventory via `safe2 evidence manifest`.
• Adds a packaged controlled-executor example verifiable with `safe2 example verify challenge-controlled-executor` that demonstrates planning, execution, verification, reporting, and evidence-manifest intake.
• Surfaces incomplete and conflict episode states so invalid JSON, nonzero exits, timeouts, output limits, and contradicting evidence observations become explicitly visible rather than silently discarded.
• Enforces direct-child execution time limits and combined stdout/stderr byte limits, reduced child-process environment variables, no-overwrite artifact creation, and exact regular-file resolution with symlink dereferencing before hashing.

• Adds `--strict` flag to `safe2 evidence system` and `safe2 evidence manifest` to exit with status 1 when identity gaps, unknown evidence bases, missing versions, or disconnected components are detected.
• Adds `safe2 schema export system-identity-source-v1` command to export the provider-neutral input contract for agent system identity.
• Adds `safe2 schema export system-identity-manifest-v1` command to export the normalized output contract for agent system identity.
• Adds `safe2 evidence manifest FILE --subject-id ID --output FILE` command to bind a system identity manifest into a wider hashed evidence run.
• Introduces eight component categories (model, harness, tools, skills, memory, environment, policy, evaluator) for complete agent system identification in a single strict manifest.
• Introduces a system relationship graph recording use, execution, policy, evaluation, memory, and delegation relationships between agent components.
• Introduces an authority inventory supporting read, write, execute, network, delegate, approve, admin, or unknown authority classes per component.
• Introduces dual hashing: `source.sha256` binds exact submitted bytes while `system_fingerprint_sha256` fingerprints normalized system composition independently of key order, list order, and formatting.
• Adds coverage recommendations that surface remaining version, attribution, inventory, and topology gaps in the agent system declaration.
• Adds four coverage statuses — complete, partial, missing, and not-applicable — to distinguish different kinds of inventory gaps.
• Adds three evidence-basis labels — observed, declared, and unknown — to distinguish independently observed evidence from declarations and unknowns.

      <description>ai-safe2-framework: Adds `safe2 evidence harness SOURCE --output FILE` to validate and normalize a provider-neutral harness export into a structured AI SAFE² evidence result.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Introduces a seven-domain coverage inventory assessing task lifecycle, tool calls, artifacts, tests, usage, environment state, and completion claims.
• Adds SHA-256 source-byte binding that records the digest and size of the exact harness export that was processed.
• Adds evidence attribution that preserves the producer, export identifier, source references, and collection basis across intake.
• Introduces loss-aware recommendations that surface which evidence areas remain partial or missing rather than silently treating gaps as success.
• Establishes a stable provider-neutral integration seam targeting Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw, and other agent harnesses.

      <description>safe2 CLI 0.2.0 adds offline Challenge evidence bundles, hardened skill gate scanning, and a `--executable` flag for the SkillSpector adapter.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds `safe2 challenge quickstart 001 --output-dir &lt;dir&gt;` to generate an offline Challenge 001 evidence bundle with a Decision Card, requiring no model credentials or paid APIs.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds `safe2 challenge verify-bundle &lt;dir&gt;` to verify an evidence bundle&apos;s internal consistency, rejecting missing or changed artifacts, unsupported versions, and inconsistent results.
• Adds `--expected-sha256` flag to `safe2 challenge verify-bundle` to pin a complete bundle against a trusted manifest fingerprint obtained out-of-band.
• Adds `--executable` flag to the SkillSpector adapter for running the provider in a separate environment.
• Extends the Skill Trust Gate to inspect scripts, extensionless files, and text with unfamiliar extensions — not just files with recognized extensions — covering injection directives, credential paths, and dynamic execution patterns.
• Extends release CI coverage to Python 3.11 through 3.14.
Breaking changes:
• The retired standalone skill-gate script now exits with an error; replace it with `safe2 gate skill PATH --strict`.
• AISM ingestion now rejects ambiguous JSON, unsafe paths, invalid Challenge runs, and existing output files — use a new output filename on each run.

      <description>safe2 CLI gains multi-harness discovery, drift tracking, environment policy enforcement, and Decision Cards via `safe2 doctor` and expanded subcommands.
• Adds `safe2 doctor` command for multi-harness discovery, identifying command and configuration indicators for Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Grok alongside host, shell, CI, and WSL metadata.
• Adds `--assess`, `--output`, `--card-format`, and `--card-output` options to `safe2 doctor` to evaluate environment posture and emit Markdown or HTML Decision Cards.
• Adds `--inspect-config` opt-in to `safe2 doctor` to collect an allowlisted structural summary of supported local JSON/TOML configurations, including selected approval and sandbox settings, without emitting raw configuration values.
• Adds environment policy enforcement with `ALLOW`, `DENY`, and `HOLD` outcomes producing exit codes 0, 1, and 2 for use in agent and CI pipelines.
• Adds `safe2 schema list`, `safe2 schema validate`, and `safe2 evidence manifest` subcommands for versioned schema discovery, evidence validation, and run manifest assembly with digests, source contracts, integrity status, and coverage.
• Adds `safe2 feedback record` and `safe2 feedback summary` subcommands to capture sanitized operational feedback including false completion, missing evidence, silent failures, context loss, stuck loops, permission friction, and integration failures.
• Adds `safe2 example verify` subcommand to reproduce a baseline-to-drift-to-policy workflow with evidence, Decision Cards, feedback, and manifest validation.
• Adds explicit WSL distribution and SSH-accessible Linux host or cloud VM targeting to environment assessment, with incomplete or unreachable targets surfaced as coverage gaps.
• Adds reviewed baseline and drift comparison across assets, harness indicators, configuration hashes, target coverage, and assessment scope against an earlier inventory.
• Adds dedicated evidence contracts `safe2.nexus-evidence.v1` and `safe2.skillspector-evidence.v1` for NEXUS and SkillSpector adapters.
• Adds environment Decision Cards in Markdown and HTML formats containing facts, assumptions, conflicts, history, impacts, alternatives, pros and cons, recommendations, ownership gaps, and exit criteria.
Breaking changes:
• NEXUS and SkillSpector provider bundles generated before this release must be regenerated to be compatible with the new `safe2.nexus-evidence.v1` and `safe2.skillspector-evidence.v1` contracts required by `safe2 evidence manifest`.

      <pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:10:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>AI SAFE2 v3.1 adds 6 MCP controls, three enforcement planes, a protocol-independent persistence vocabulary, 12 new scanner rules, and a machine-readable manifest entry point.
• Adds `ai-safe2.manifest.json` at the repository root as a deterministic machine entry point exposing framework version, component versions, normative paths, control counts, enforcement planes, persistence vocabulary, conformance boundaries, and machine-readable datasets — so agents and compliance bots no longer need to infer structure from prose.
• Adds `skills/mcp/data/mcp-profile-v3.1.json` as a machine-readable profile of the 19-control CP.5.MCP security profile for agent and automated-consumer use.
• Adds `skills/mcp/data/ai-safe2-controls-v3.0.json` as the machine-readable 161-control core dataset.
• Adds `AGENTS.md` as the canonical first-class entry point for automated consumers integrating with the framework.
• Adds six new MCP controls — MCP-14 (Extension Capability Negotiation), MCP-15 (Header and Body Assertion Integrity), MCP-16 (State Handle Binding and Lifecycle), MCP-17 (MRTR Round-Trip Integrity and Replay Resistance), MCP-18 (Catalog Cache Integrity and Provenance Revalidation), and MCP-19 (Authorization Chain Integrity, intended-resource/audience binding, and SSRF boundaries) — bringing the CP.5.MCP profile to 19 controls.
• Formalizes a protocol-independent persistence vocabulary with four canonical values — `request`, `handle_scoped`, `durable`, and `swarm_shared` — replacing protocol-owned session language as the governance boundary.
• Expands the scanner rule registry to 64 total rules, adding 12 new grouped CP.5.MCP v3.1 rules alongside the 52 pre-existing rules.
• Formalizes three explicit enforcement planes — north-south (agent to model provider), east-west (agent to agent), and agent-to-tool (agent to MCP server or tool) — with the requirement that a control result on one plane does not establish coverage on another.
• Re-anchors five existing MCP controls (MCP-4, MCP-7, MCP-8, MCP-11, MCP-13) to framework-owned governance state (verified principals, capability grants, provenance baselines, delegation chains, governed state handles) rather than protocol session state, with primary binding to MCP `2026-07-28` and legacy compatibility with MCP `2025-11-25` for a twelve-month migration window.
• Adds an explicit MCP-19 conformance boundary requiring deployments to evidence intended-resource, audience, or equivalent binding before protected dispatch — opaque bearer-token possession alone does not satisfy the control.
• Scopes the Challenge Lab and Challenge 001 by enforcement plane, adding v3.1 MCP cases covering header/body desynchronization, catalog/schema drift, replay, audience/resource confusion, endpoint impersonation, SSRF, and legacy state-handle misuse.
• Adds an Agent Discovery and Manifest Integrity CI gate that verifies manifest claims against the actual repository, failing on incorrect claims and broken paths.
• Standardizes repository navigation and context shell across all 18 direct example README surfaces and all 24 numbered research notes under a common v3.1 shell.

      <description>AI SAFE2 v3.0 adds lovable-sovereign-runtime with subagent file-access gating and 21 enforced controls for the Lovable platform.
• Adds scan_subagent_file_access() enforcement gate that intercepts file path lists before Lovable subagents read them, blocking access to credential files (e.g. `.env.production`) by path pattern to close the subagent exfiltration gap.
• Ships `examples/lovable-sovereign-runtime` enforcement package covering a new sixth attack surface, LV-SUBAGENT, missed by the prior five-surface design.
• Adds `workspace-knowledge/ai-safe2-workspace-knowledge.md`, a no-code drop-in for Lovable → Settings → Knowledge → Workspace knowledge that applies AI SAFE2 trust boundary rules to every future agent session workspace-wide.
• Expands detection coverage to block `sk-live-*` API key format (hyphen in key body), natural-language destructive plan steps (&apos;delete all existing user records&apos;), and Response.json(process.env) (Web API environment variable exfiltration).
• Enforces 17 named AI SAFE2 v3.0 controls: `P1.T1.2`, `P1.T1.10`, `P1.T1.4_ADV`, `P1.T1.1`, `P1.T2.5`, `P1.T2.6`, `S1.3`, `S1.5`, `S1.6`, `P2.T3.1`, `A2.5`, `P3.T5.5`, `P4.T7.1`, `M4.5`, `E5.1`, `CP.4`, `CP.10`, verified at 21/21 smoke-test passing.

      <description>AI SAFE² adds CP.11 (Unbiased AI Standard): 27 controls, 8 bias classes, published test thresholds, and a GSAR 552.239-7001 evidence package.
• Adds `STANDARD.md` (Sections 1–8) as the normative specification for CP.11, covering scope, definitions, requirements, testing, evidence, and independent review criteria.
• Adds `taxonomy/bias-taxonomy.md` defining UAS-B1 through UAS-B8 — an 8-class bias taxonomy, each mapped to a pillar source, CSF domain, and GSAR trigger, including UAS-B8 (Foreign Regulatory Embedding) as the first published methodology for detecting model modifications made to satisfy foreign regulators.
• Adds `controls/uas-controls-system.md` with 27 controls: 14 system-side (pillars P1–P5 and NEXUS), 8 human-side sourced from Cognitive Sovereignty Framework Domains 1–6 (`UAS-H1` through `UAS-H8`), and 5 cross-domain bridge controls.
• Adds `testing/bias-test-protocol.md` specifying 8 test types with published pass thresholds: 85% neutrality classification floor, Cohen&apos;s kappa ≥ 0.7 inter-rater minimum, and p &gt; 0.05 demographic parity requirement across matched framings.
• Adds `compliance/gsar-552-239-7001-mapping.md` and a five-document due-diligence evidence package mapped paragraph-by-paragraph to GSAR 552.239-7001 sections (j)(1) and (f)(7), including an attestation document at `compliance/due-diligence-attestation.md`.
• First cross-pillar control to formally integrate the Cognitive Sovereignty Framework (CSF), with CTSS scoring feeding directly into the CP.11 evidence package.
