From 4012a7734656986090896c794be5afbcfcffb789 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pengfei Hu Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 19:13:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Extend the AI-coding-verifier corpus: email tool, CI-gate removal, suppression MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The benchmark/ai-coding-verifier corpus deliberately asserts base/head scenarios against the real engine (no fragile golden trees). It covered refund + policy-edit + two docs-only cases; add three canonical capability transitions: - agent_adds_email_tool: an external-communication action is a gated capability change (action_added detected; not auto-mergeable). - agent_removes_ci_gate: deleting the Shipgate CI workflow touches a trust root / weakens policy and routes to human review — the gate cannot be removed to self-merge (the flagship anti-bypass case). - agent_adds_suppression: adding a checks.ignore touches a trust root; the agent cannot silently suppress and self-merge. (Surfaces as trust_root_touched, not policy_weakened, because the suppressed check has no active blocker here.) All assertions reflect real engine output (confirmed by running). README table updated. Test-only + docs; no engine change.
