Closes CLOUD-1916

  • The bug: mise appends a task's arguments to its run string rather than setting $1, so darwin-link's bare ${1:-…} was always empty. The darwin-link (x86_64-apple-darwin) required check linked and receipted aarch64.
  • The fix: the body is now a function called last, the same shape as ci-slow-needed. mise run darwin-link x86_64-apple-darwin links x86_64, verified locally.
  • The gate: policy/run-arg-shape.rego (task read dropped) refuses any one-line bare run string that reads a positional argument. tests/it/run_arg_shape.rs pins it over the compiled engine, and it carries the mutation row bare-body-arg-admitted.
  • Settings: .claude/settings.json no longer tells agents to call unsubscribe_pr_activity by hand. That tool prompts the human, and land already drops the subscription through pr-unsubscribed drop.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Darwin link task now passes mise-appended arguments to a function. A new Rego policy detects specified positional argument reads in one-line mise task bodies. Policy configuration, unit tests, and integration tests cover the rule. The auto-mode guidance also changes its instruction for unsubscribe_pr_activity.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 842bc

Valid task bodies can bypass the new safeguard and retain the dropped-argument behavior it is meant to prevent. Close these gaps before merging unless the narrower enforcement is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 842bc

The Darwin check now uses the target selected by its CI job, correcting a check that could report success after linking the wrong target. The new task policy provides a guard against the same mistake, but it is narrower than a complete validation of task argument handling.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly effective target input in the examined CI path comes from the workflow's fixed matrix. The demonstrated effect is on link verification and its receipt, not on a new tenant, credential, or service boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The changed auto-mode text discourages hand calls to the subscription tool; it retains inheritance of existing permissions. The separately declared land-entry gates still call the unsubscribe task and then check its result.

…at reads one

mise appends a task's arguments to its run string rather than setting $1,
so darwin-link's bare body always read an empty ${1:-...} and took the
aarch64 default: the darwin-link (x86_64-apple-darwin) required check
linked and receipted aarch64. The body is now a function called last, the
ci-slow-needed shape, and `mise run darwin-link x86_64-apple-darwin` links
x86_64.

policy/run-arg-shape.rego refuses the class: a one-line bare run string
reading a positional. Nothing in mise.toml trips it on landing, so it is a
state rule; run_arg_shape.rs pins it over the compiled engine with both
pre-fix bodies and the committed task table.

Closes: CLOUD-1916
clippy::doc_markdown refused the bare x86_64 in run_arg_shape.rs:21, which
failed verify on the first land lap.

Refs: CLOUD-1916
The harness arms a PR subscription without asking, but the connector marks
unsubscribe_pr_activity always_ask, so the autoMode clause that told agents
to call it stopped the human for nothing. land already drops the
subscription as an entry gate (pr-unsubscribed drop calls the endpoint
itself); the clause now says so and forbids the hand call.

Refs: CLOUD-1916
The replay's conflict resolution sorted the list, reordering entries trunk
never sorted. Restore trunk's order with run-arg-shape inserted before
run-shape, so the net change is the one added gate.

Require the appended arguments to reach the function.

function_shaped accepts any body whose first word ends in (). For example, run = "helper() { :; }; echo \"${1:-default}\"" passes this check. If mise appends an argument, the final echo receives it as a trailing word, while ${1:-default} still uses the default. Check the final call as well as the declaration, or limit the exemption to a verified function-call shape. (mise.jdx.dev)

Handle optional whitespace in double-quoted run assignments.

bare_reader requires the exact prefix run = ", so valid forms such as run="echo $1" can bypass the policy. Parse the run assignment and its double-quoted value separately so TOML whitespace around = does not affect matching.

Keep single-quoted assignments outside this rule’s declared scope. A single-quoted task containing $1 can have the same runtime shape, but a quote-agnostic matcher would also match the existing $@ form. $@ is a recognized positional form, not a false positive.
