# PERMISSIONS

What an agent may do in this repository without asking, what it must ask
before, and what it may never do. The fenced `yaml permissions-contract` block
below is the machine surface: `contracts eval` renders a verdict for one
tool call, the PreToolUse gate refuses or asks citing the rule, and
`permd compile` turns it into a Claude Code settings fragment. Semantics are
deny > ask > allow — when several rules match, the most restrictive wins.
Edit the YAML, keep the fence line exactly as-is. Never soften a rule to get
past a gate: the gate is the contract.

```yaml permissions-contract
version: "0.1"
rules:
- verdict: deny
tool: Bash
cmd_pattern: "rm -rf *"
reason: destructive shell
- verdict: deny
tool: Bash
cmd_pattern: "git push --force*"
reason: rewriting shared history is operator-owned
- verdict: ask
tool: Bash
cmd_pattern: "git push*"
reason: remote mutation
- verdict: deny
path_glob: "**/*.pem"
reason: key material stays unread
- verdict: allow
tool: Bash
cmd_pattern: "npm test*"

Authorization Bypass (CWE-862): Missing Authorization

Exploitability: Moderate

Block shell metacharacters in npm test*.

The whole-string wildcard allows npm test && cat server.pem. Bash then executes cat server.pem, bypassing the .pem read restriction. Require a valid argument boundary or use command-aware matching.

test to prevent shell metacharacters and trailing commands from matching;
require a valid argument boundary or use command-aware matching so only intended

## Notes for contributors

- `cmd_pattern` and `path_glob` use `*` and `?` only (a linear matcher, never a
regex) — a pattern is matched against the whole command string.
- Add rules; do not delete `deny` rules to unblock an agent. If a deny is
wrong, change it in a reviewed PR with the reason in the commit.

# TESTING

How to run this project's tests, for people and for agents. The fenced
`yaml test-contract` block below is the machine surface: `testmd validate`
checks it, `testmd run` executes it and writes receipts, and the stop gate
verifies receipts before an agent may claim DONE. Edit the YAML, keep the
fence line exactly as-is, and never paste secret values into it (fixture
NAMES only).

```yaml test-contract
version: "0.1"
entry: npm test
suites:
unit:
cmd: npm test
timeout_s: 600
lint:
cmd: npm run lint

🌐 Web query:

npm test behavior when package.json is absent official npm documentation

💡 Result:

When you run npm test, the command specifically looks for a "test" script defined within the "scripts" object of a package.json file [1][2]. If the package.json file is absent in the current working directory, npm will be unable to locate the required "scripts" configuration [3][4]. Consequently, npm will typically fail with an error, such as "npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../package.json'" or a message indicating that the package.json is missing, because npm relies on this file as the manifest to define project behavior [3]. It is important to distinguish this from the scenario where a package.json file exists but the "test" script itself is undefined. In earlier versions of npm (specifically prior to version 7), running npm test without a defined "test" script would execute a default echo command and exit with a code of 0 [5][6]. Starting with npm version 7, this behavior was changed to align with standard CLI practices, and npm now reports a "missing script" error and returns a non-zero exit code when the "test" script is missing [5][7].

Citations:

Use repository-owned commands. Because this repository has no package.json, npm test and npm run lint do not invoke project scripts. Replace them with pytest and ruff check, which match the Python configuration.

In `@TESTING.md` around lines 12 - 18, Update the test suite commands so the unit
suite uses pytest and the lint suite uses ruff check instead of npm commands,
matching the repository’s Python configuration.

Add permission coverage for npm run lint.

testmd run executes the optional lint suite, but PERMISSIONS.md allows only whole-command matches for npm test*. If unmatched Bash commands require approval, the runner may stop before writing the lint receipt. Add a narrow allow rule for npm run lint or document that this runner bypasses the permission gate.

In `@TESTING.md` at line 18, Update the permission configuration documented in
PERMISSIONS.md to explicitly allow the whole command npm run lint, or document
the runner’s permission-gate bypass, so testmd run can execute the optional lint
suite and write its receipt without approval.

🚨 Bug: test-contract uses npm commands in a Python-only repo

TESTING.md's entry: npm test and the unit/lint suites' cmd: npm test / cmd: npm run lint invoke npm, but this repo (wave-av/sdk-python) has no package.json or any Node tooling — it's a Python project using pytest and ruff per pyproject.toml and .github/workflows/python-lint.yml. Once this contract is armed (testmd run / contracts run / the Stop gate), every run will fail immediately with 'npm: command not found', permanently blocking the gate. Fix the contract to reflect this repo's actual toolchain, e.g. entry: pytest, unit.cmd: pytest, lint.cmd: ruff check ..

Replace the npm-based entry/suite commands with the repo's actual pytest/ruff commands.:

entry: pytest
suites:
  unit:
    cmd: pytest
    timeout_s: 600
  lint:
    cmd: ruff check .
    required: false
    timeout_s: 120

## Notes for contributors

- `testmd run` executes every suite and writes one receipt per suite under
`.testmd/receipts/` (add that directory to `.gitignore`).

💡 Quality: .testmd/receipts referenced but repo has no .gitignore

TESTING.md instructs contributors to add .testmd/receipts/ to .gitignore, but the repo has no .gitignore file at all. Since this PR is docs-only, the follow-up step of actually creating/updating .gitignore is left undone and easy to forget; consider adding the .gitignore entry in this same PR or a fast-follow so receipts don't get accidentally committed once testmd run is used.

Add a .gitignore file (or entry) excluding the receipts directory.:

.testmd/receipts/

Was this helpful? React with 👍 / 👎

- A receipt is bound to the contract text AND the git commit it ran at; edit
either and the receipt goes stale — re-run.
- Optional suites (`required: false`) may fail without failing the gate.
