What changed

For a v* release tag (or no --ref, which resolves to the newest tag), agentop update now does these steps before it installs a release:

  1. It downloads the release tarballs and checksums.txt into a 0700 stage directory.
  2. It checks the SHA-256 of each tarball against checksums.txt.
  3. It checks the build-provenance attestation of each tarball against a fixed policy. The issuer must be https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com. The SAN must be https://github.com/rossoctl/cortex/.github/workflows/release-binaries.yaml@refs/tags/<tag>. The bundle comes from the GitHub attestations API (no login is necessary). The trusted root is the Sigstore public-good root.
  4. Only then does it extract the tarballs and run <stage>/agentop setup --from <stage>.

A ref that does not start with v (for example main) keeps the install.sh path, with no provenance check. On each error, nothing in the bin directory or ~/.cortex changes, the stage is removed, and the command exits non-zero with the reason.

Changes:

  • cmd/agentop/cmd_update.go: the installer run moves into installRelease, which selects the checked path or the install.sh path. If the stage cannot run (for example, noexec on TMPDIR), it is copied to ~/.cortex/tmp and run again.
  • cmd/agentop/update_stage.go: download, checksum check, provenance callback and safe extract.
  • cmd/agentop/update_provenance.go: attestation fetch and check with github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go v1.3.0. v1.4.0 needs go >= 1.27.0, so this PR does not use it.
  • cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/: a real attestation answer for agentop_v0.9.5_darwin_arm64.tar.gz and the Sigstore trusted root.
  • docs/laptop-service.md, docs/proxy-contract.md: they describe the check.
  • docs/superpowers/plans/2026-11-12-update-provenance-1837.md: the plan.

How it was tested

  • Unit tests for each refusal: wrong issuer, wrong digest, changed signature, an attestation with no inline bundle, a duplicate or path-like name in checksums.txt, a missing tarball, a missing binary, and a cancelled context. The stage tests for these failures check that the stage is removed, except TestStageReleaseMissingBinary (see below).
  • A test that accepts when only the second of two attestations passes.
  • Gate, from cmd/agentop: gofmt -l, go vet, go build, go test -race -count=1 ./..., GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff, golangci-lint run --new-from-rev=16fa0be3. The result is in the "Gate" section below.

Size

  • Counted: 1478 changed lines (code, tests, test fixtures and docs).
  • Exempt: 573 lines (go.sum 313, plan document 260).

The plan says that the two fixture files (262 lines) do not count. They are not lock files, generated files or golden files, so this count includes them.

Fixed after the review

The review blocked because the restage retry in installRelease had no test. Commit 34d8f87 moves the run-then-retry step into runStaged. runStaged returns the stage that still exists, and the deferred RemoveAll removes that stage. New tests check that the retry runs the copied agentop one time, that the first stage is removed, that a setup ExitError causes no second run, and that a failed restage keeps the first stage.

Review findings that were not fixed

  • [minor] update_stage.go downloadTarball and download do not validate the tag. filepath.Join(stage, name) cleans lexically. Thus a tag that holds / and .. (for example --ref=v1/../../x, which starts with v, or an unusual Location value from latestRelease) puts the tarball outside the stage, and the deferred RemoveAll(stage) does not remove it. Also, the tag goes into the URL path with no escape. The input comes from a local CLI argument or from GitHub, so the risk is low. Fix: in stageRelease, refuse a tag that contains /, \ or .. (or require a semver-like pattern), and add one test.
  • [minor] stageRelease extracts the tarballs into the same stage directory that holds the checked tarballs that are not yet extracted. An entry named cortex_<tag>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz in the agentop tarball replaces the checked cortex tarball before its extract. A later tarball can also replace agentop. This needs a release that passes the checksum and provenance checks, so it is not a new attack. But the extracted bytes are then not the checked bytes. Fix: download into a stage/.dl subdirectory, or refuse entries whose name is in names.
  • [minor] There are no size limits. checksums.txt goes into a bytes.Buffer with no limit, before any check, and extractTarball copies entries with no limit (a gzip bomb). The extract runs only after the provenance check, and the 5-minute client timeout limits the download time. An io.LimitReader (for example 1 MiB for checksums.txt) is one line.
  • [minor] TestStageReleaseMissingBinary does not call assertEmptyDir(t, tmp), so it does not show that the stage is removed on this error path. Also, TestStageReleaseCancelled fails on the checksums.txt request only. No test cancels during a tarball download (the plan asks only for a ctx that is already cancelled).
  • [minor] The checksumFor regex adds \r? before $ for CRLF files. The plan regex does not have it, and no test covers a CRLF line.
  • [minor] fetchAttestations refuses the full answer if one attestation has no inline bundle, also when a different attestation has a good inline bundle. This is fail-closed, and it agrees with D7 and Review Focus 1. But it does not agree with the "accept when any bundle passes" rule in verifyBundles. Fix: skip the entries that have no bundle, and refuse only when no entry has an inline bundle.
  • [minor] TestProvenanceWrongIssuer, TestProvenanceWrongDigest and TestProvenanceChangedSignature look only for the provenance of prefix, which each verify failure has. Thus they do not prove that the issuer, digest or signature check caused the refusal. Fix: also match a text for each cause, for example issuer or digest.
  • [minor] D9 (get the bundle before the trusted root) has no test. The order in checkProvenance is correct now, but no test fails if the order changes.
  • [minor] fetchAttestations decodes the API body with no size limit. The source is GitHub over TLS with a 30 s timeout, so the risk is low.
  • [minor] When there is no --ref, runUpdate can call latestRelease() two times (in currentRelease and in installRelease, per D1). The behavior is correct, but it makes one more request to GitHub.
  • [minor] In updateUsage, one line is 107 characters ("Update keeps these as they are now: ..."). The other lines wrap at about 80. Wrap the paragraph again.
  • [minor] In TestUpdateFailsWhenTheDownloadFails, the release subtest does not check that TMPDIR is empty after the failure. TestStageReleaseMissingFile checks the stage cleanup, but assertEmptyDir here costs little.
  • [minor] docs/proxy-contract.md: the new text has no blank line after "Some flags go to agentop setup unchanged (hand_off).", so Markdown renders it in the same paragraph. The sentence "The hand_off comment says that set is frozen" now comes after a list that includes --praxis, which is not frozen. Add a blank line, or move the frozen sentence up.
  • [minor] docs/laptop-service.md: in "The one-liner is meant to be run repeatedly too.", the word "too" now refers to the one-liner, not to agentop update. This is a small readability problem only.
  • [minor] Gate timeout: under high machine load, go test -race of cmd/agentop can go past the default 10-minute timeout (TestLoadService_Linux in the root package took 1804 s one time). The task reviews passed the gate with -timeout=30m or -timeout=40m, and one run passed with the default timeout. This comes from the machine load, not from this PR.

Gate

The full gate passed on the tip (822affbb) with the default go test timeout: test exit 0, go mod tidy -diff clean, golangci-lint 0 issues.

For a human after review

These need a real network, real releases or a person's decision. They need T1-T4 merged or built locally.

  1. Build agentop from the branch (make agentop). On a Mac and on Linux, with a real network and no gh login, run ./bin/agentop update --ref=<newest tag> --yes. Check that the update installs, and that agentop doctor is clean.
  2. Check that every tarball kind of the newest release has an attestation: for each agentop_, cortex_, cortex-cpex_, cortex-gateway_ tarball, curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/rossoctl/cortex/attestations/sha256:<sha256 from checksums.txt> | jq '.attestations | length' is at least 1.
  3. Release order: do not tag a release that contains Automatic updates for the laptop service #1836 (auto-update) without Check build provenance before agentop update installs a release #1837. Merge order does not matter.
  4. Whichever of Automatic updates for the laptop service #1836 and Check build provenance before agentop update installs a release #1837 merges second: resolve the conflict in installRelease so that the body is this plan's T4 body.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Updates to release-tagged versions now download platform-specific files and verify their checksums and build provenance before installation.
    • If release verification or staging fails, the update stops without changing the installed files.
    • Updates to non-release refs continue to use the website installer. If the newest release is already installed, no files are downloaded.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified update behavior, verification checks, and installer exit statuses.

The plan also adds the test fixtures: the attestations API answer for
agentop_v0.9.5_darwin_arm64.tar.gz and the Sigstore public-good trusted root.

stageRelease downloads checksums.txt and the release tarballs into a
new 0700 stage, checks each SHA-256, calls the provenance check for
each tarball, and only then extracts. The extract accepts only regular
files and directories with local names. On any error the stage is
deleted.

For a release tag, agentop update downloads and checks the tarballs
itself. It checks the SHA-256 and the build-provenance attestation of
each tarball, and then runs the staged agentop setup. Other refs still
run install.sh. Describe this path in laptop-service.md and in the
install.sh flags section of proxy-contract.md (rossoctl#1837).

Add the provenance check that agentop update will use for a release
tarball (rossoctl#1837). checkProvenance gets the inline Sigstore bundles from
the GitHub attestations API, loads the Sigstore public-good trusted
root, and accepts the tarball only when one bundle has the digest and
the certificate identity of the release-binaries.yaml run for the tag.

The bundle is fetched before the trusted root, so an unreachable API
fails with the API's name and needs no TUF. An answer with only
bundle_url is refused: that blob is snappy-compressed and needs a new
dependency.

sigstore-go is v1.3.0, not v1.4.0: v1.4.0 requires go 1.27.0. The go
directive stays 1.26.10.

runUpdate now calls installReleaseFn. installRelease runs install.sh
the same as before and returns the cmd.Run() error as it is, so an

that rossoctl#1836 also adds, with the same names. A later task uses it to
add the checked path for release tags.

For a v* tag, installRelease now downloads the release itself, checks
each SHA-256 against checksums.txt and each build-provenance
attestation, stages it, and gives it to <stage>/agentop setup --from
<stage> with the hand-off flags. A ref that does not start with "v"
keeps the website installer. When the ref is empty and the newest
release cannot be read, update stops with "could not read the newest
release". It does not fall back to the installer, which does not do
the check.

The staged setup does not get CORTEX_INSTALLER_DREW. The usage text
tells what is checked and gives the new exit status.

On a host with a noexec temp dir, the hand-off to the staged agentop
fails with EACCES at start. install.sh restages under ~/.cortex/tmp
on exit 126. installRelease now does the same: it copies the stage
under ~/.cortex/tmp and runs the hand-off again. An exit error from
setup is not a start error, so setup never runs twice.

Walkthrough

For refs beginning with v, agentop update downloads release archives, checks their SHA-256 values and provenance, stages the binaries, and runs staged setup. Other refs continue to use the website installer. The update tests and documentation cover both paths.

Changes: Release update flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release provenance verification
cmd/agentop/update_provenance.go, cmd/agentop/update_provenance_test.go, cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/*, cmd/agentop/go.mod
Adds GitHub attestation retrieval and Sigstore verification for release artifact digests. Tests cover identity and signature validation, API failures, token selection, and trusted-root loading.
Release archive staging
cmd/agentop/update_stage.go, cmd/agentop/update_stage_test.go
Adds platform-specific archive selection, checksum verification, and extraction of expected binaries. Staging rejects unsafe archive entries and cleans temporary files after failures.
Update routing and setup handoff

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 5ef79

Release updates now verify checksums and provenance before installing. Before merging, make the omitted-ref path reject a newest tag that does not start with v, and require the provenance predicate type. Add size limits on downloaded and extracted data. A stale GitHub token blocking updates is a minor nuisance.

The retry that installRelease does after an EACCES start error had no
test. Move the run-then-retry step into runStaged, which returns the
stage that still exists, so the deferred RemoveAll removes that stage.

The new tests check that:
- the retry runs the copied agentop one time
- the first stage is removed and the new stage stays for the caller
- a setup ExitError gives no second run and no restage
- a failed restage keeps the first stage

root.FetchTrustedRoot takes no context, and the go-tuf default fetcher
uses http.DefaultClient, which has no timeout. installRelease catches
Ctrl-C while it stages. Thus a TUF server that stalls hangs the update,
and Ctrl-C does not stop it.

The fetch now uses a client with a 30-second limit on each request. The
TUF mirror is a variable so that a test can point it at a server that

Summary

The staged path is designed well. It downloads into a 0700 stage, checks SHA-256 against checksums.txt, checks Sigstore provenance against a fixed issuer and a SAN pinned to the tag, and only then extracts with a strict tar policy. It fails closed on every path I checked, and the runStaged retry is now tested. One must-fix blocks this: CI is red because the new sigstore-go dependency leaves scripts/readme-demo/go.mod untidy. The PR body already lists 15 known minor findings, so I do not repeat them inline.

Must-fix

  1. Module graph not tidy (CI: "Verify module graph is tidy"). The check reports: go mod tidy would change ./scripts/readme-demo/go.mod. readme-demo has replace github.com/rossoctl/cortex/cmd/agentop => ../../cmd/agentop, so the new requirements in cmd/agentop/go.mod carry over to it. The gate in the PR body ran GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff from cmd/agentop only. Fix: cd scripts/readme-demo && go mod tidy, then commit go.mod/go.sum.

Also red on head: Go CI (core) (Test step) and Pre-commit Checks (Run pre-commit) both fail. Both pass on main. I could not get the job logs (the log download timed out), so I cannot give the cause. Please check them; they may come from the same untidy module.

Summary

The design is sound: agentop update now fails closed on a release tag. It checks the SHA-256 against checksums.txt and the Sigstore provenance against a pinned workflow SAN and tag before it extracts anything. The TUF fetch has a timeout and the tar extract allows only local regular files and directories. The focused tests pass on head (go test -run 'Update|Provenance|Stage|Checksum|Extract|Restage|Tarball|Staged' . → ok), and gofmt -l and go vet are clean in cmd/agentop. Two required CI checks fail because of this PR. Both pass on main (run 43297143650):

  1. Verify module graph is tidy: ./scripts/readme-demo/go.mod is no longer tidy. readme-demo imports cmd/agentop/{apiclient,tui}, so the new sigstore-go dependency changes its module graph. The PR body's gate ran GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff only in cmd/agentop. Fix: run GOWORK=off go mod tidy in scripts/readme-demo and commit the result.
  2. Pre-commit Checks: cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/trusted_root.json has no newline at the end of the file (end-of-file-fixer). The other changed files are clean. Fix: add the newline. The file stays valid JSON, so the fixture tests are not affected.

The PR body already lists the remaining minor points (tag validation, extract into the same stage, size limits). One inline suggestion: the tag check is cheap to add now, before #1836 builds auto-update on this path.

must-fix: this new dependency makes ./scripts/readme-demo/go.mod untidy. readme-demo requires cmd/agentop through a replace, and the required check Verify module graph is tidy fails on it (the check passes on main). Suggested fix: cd scripts/readme-demo && GOWORK=off go mod tidy, then commit go.mod/go.sum. Also add that module to the tidy step of the gate.

suggestion: strings.HasPrefix(ref, "v") is the only gate on the tag before the tag goes into releaseDownloadBase+tag+"/"+name. It also goes into the attestation SAN. A ref like v1/../../x, or an unexpected Location from latestRelease, therefore reaches the URL path unescaped (the body notes this too). Suggested fix: require a semver-like pattern, for example ^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-[0-9A-Za-z.-]+)?$, before stageRelease, and add one table test. A cheap check like this matters more once #1836 runs this path unattended.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Keep usable bundles when another entry has only a URL.

If a response contains a URL-only entry followed by a valid inline bundle, this return rejects the entire response before verifyBundles can check the valid bundle. GitHub’s response format permits URL-only entries. Skip entries without inline bundles and report an error only when none remain. (docs.github.com)

Do not route a resolved newest release to the unverified installer.

If latestRelease() returns a valid release tag that does not start with v, the omitted---ref path reaches the website installer at Line 120. That skips every provenance check required for default updates. Reject an unsupported newest tag instead; reserve the installer branch for an explicitly supplied non-v ref. The PR objective requires provenance checks when --ref is omitted.

Allow a public attestation lookup when an environment token fails.

If GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN is expired, fetchAttestations sends it and returns GitHub’s authentication error. The same public-repository lookup can work without a token. Retry without authorization for an authentication failure, while keeping other API failures closed. (docs.github.com)

Bound extracted bytes as well as compressed bytes.

A small, checksum-valid tarball can contain a regular entry with a very large decompressed body. This io.Copy writes that body without a per-entry or total extraction limit, so a bad release can fill the filesystem even after download limits are added. Reject excessive header sizes and enforce an aggregate limit while copying. (pkg.go.dev)

Summary

I reproduced the stated fix end to end on head against the live v0.9.5 release (real downloads, the attestation API and a TUF fetch of the trusted root, with no token). stageRelease plus checkProvenance accepts the agentop + cortex and agentop + cortex-cpex linux/amd64 sets. It refuses a SAN for the wrong tag (expected SAN … @refs/tags/v0.0.1, got … v0.9.5). With --praxis it fails closed, because v0.9.5 has no cortex-gateway build, and install.sh behaves the same way. In cmd/agentop, go vet and GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff are clean, and the update, stage and provenance tests pass.

Two required checks fail because of this PR. Both pass on the base (16fa0be3, run 43297143650), and I reproduced both locally:

  1. Verify module graph is tidy: GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff in scripts/readme-demo wants to drop github.com/kr/text and the kr/pretty, creack/pty and rogpeppe/go-internal sums. The new sigstore-go graph in cmd/agentop (which readme-demo replaces to ../../cmd/agentop) no longer needs them. On base the same command is clean. Fix: run GOWORK=off go mod tidy in scripts/readme-demo and commit the result.
  2. Pre-commit Checks: end-of-file-fixer rewrites cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/trusted_root.json, which has no newline at the end of the file. No other hook fails on the changed files. Fix: add the newline. The test reads the file with os.ReadFile and parses it as JSON, so the newline has no effect on it.

When both checks are green, this is ready from my side. The minor points the PR body already lists (tag validation, extract into the same stage, size limits) are not repeated here.

must-fix: this file has no newline at the end of the file, so pre-commit end-of-file-fixer fails (Fixing cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/trusted_root.json), and with it the required check Pre-commit Checks. Add one trailing newline. The fixture is read with os.ReadFile and parsed as JSON, so the tests are not affected.

- update_stage.go: use proxyBinary for the cortex tarball and binary
  name. The core audit TestAgentopProxyNamesUseConstants refuses the
  literal "cortex" in cmd/agentop.
- trusted_root.json: add the final newline that end-of-file-fixer
  asks for.
- scripts/readme-demo: run go mod tidy. go-tuf is now a direct
  dependency of cmd/agentop, so the module graph of readme-demo
  changes.

- installRelease accepts only a release tag (vX.Y.Z, with an optional
  -suffix) for the checked path. The tag goes into a stage file name,
  a URL path and the SAN, so --ref=v1/../../x could put a tarball
  outside the stage. A newest release that is not a release tag now
  fails closed. Before, it went to install.sh with no provenance check.
- verifyBundles also requires the SLSA provenance v1 predicate type.
  The workflow identity and the digest alone also accept an SBOM or
  another statement from the same workflow.
- fetchAttestations skips entries that have only a bundle_url. It
  refuses only when no entry has an inline bundle. This agrees with
  the rule in verifyBundles that one good bundle is sufficient.
- An API answer of 401 with a token, 403 or 429 tells the user what
  to do with GH_TOKEN.
- checksums.txt is refused above 1 MiB, before any check. Tarballs
  are refused above 2 GiB, which is the GitHub asset limit.

Not changed: a size limit on extraction. Extraction runs only after
the checksum and provenance checks pass. Thus the bytes come from the
release workflow, which can ship any binary anyway.

Summary

The two blocking points from my previous review are fixed on 8f5ef1d (scripts/readme-demo is tidy, trusted_root.json ends with a newline), and every required check is green, including Go CI (authbridge agentop) and the macOS peerproc job.

I checked the security path again on head, with real network calls and no token. stageRelease + checkProvenance accepts the live v0.9.5 agentop + cortex linux/amd64 set. It refuses the same tarball against the SAN of another tag (expected SAN …@refs/tags/v0.9.4, got …v0.9.5). It fails closed for --praxis on v0.9.5 (no cortex-gateway in checksums.txt). It also fails closed for v0.9.0 and v0.9.2 (no attestation). All 11 v0.9.5 tarballs have exactly one attestation. Fail-closed review:

  • With no --ref, a failed latestRelease() returns an error. It does not fall back to install.sh.
  • The policy pins the issuer, the exact SAN (repository + release-binaries.yaml + refs/tags/<tag>) and the artifact digest. It requires one tlog entry and one observer timestamp.
  • The attest step in the workflow is gated on event_name == 'push', so a workflow_dispatch against a tag ref cannot mint a matching attestation.
  • The verified digest is computed from the same byte stream that is written into the 0700 stage. Only the tarballs on disk are extracted, so there is no TOCTOU between the checked and the installed bytes, apart from the in-stage overwrite that the PR body already lists.
  • The staged agentop that runs setup comes from the verified tarball.

The update, stage and provenance tests pass locally (go test -run 'Update|Stage|Provenance|Restage|Checksum|Extract|Tarball').

The inline comments are non-blocking suggestions: two gaps in what the check covers, and one functional gap compared with install.sh. The minor points that the PR body already lists (tag validation, extract into the same stage, size limits) are not repeated here.

suggestion: the check is skipped for any ref that does not start with v, but install.sh does not install channel binaries for all of those refs. resolve_version maps only main/main-latest to the channel. For any other ref (a branch, a SHA, V0.9.5, refs/tags/v0.9.5) it warns and installs the newest release binaries. So agentop update --ref=some-branch installs release tarballs with no provenance check, and the help text and docs do not say so. Consider sending only main and main-latest (CHANNEL_TAG) to install.sh, and either refusing every other non-v ref or treating it as "newest release" through the checked path. This is opt-in by the user, so it is not blocking.

suggestion: v0.9.5 is the first release with attestations (v0.9.0–v0.9.4 return attestations: [] for their tarball digests). Thus agentop update --ref=v0.9.4, a pin or a rollback that worked before this PR, now always fails with no attestation for agentop_v0.9.4_….tar.gz, and the message does not explain why. Failing closed is right, but a hint would help: for example, say that releases before v0.9.5 carry no attestation, and that the one-liner with --ref=vX installs them with the checksum check only. One sentence in updateUsage or laptop-service.md would also work. Note that on line 89 an empty attestations array returns the same text as a 404.

suggestion: install.sh also stages cortex-session-dump (stage_session_dump), and setupBinaryNames installs it when it is in --from. The checked path never stages it, so after this PR agentop update to a release never refreshes cortex-session-dump, and it stays at whatever version the last one-liner installed. This is probably fine, because that fetch from raw.githubusercontent.com is unverified, and leaving it out is consistent with the provenance goal. But it is a silent difference from the one-liner. Either note it in laptop-service.md, or fetch it the way install.sh does (never fatal) if keeping it current matters.

Summary

The new commit fixes both CI blockers from my last review. On head, GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff in scripts/readme-demo exits 0 with no diff, and tail -c1 cmd/agentop/testdata/provenance/trusted_root.json is \n. Verify module graph is tidy and Pre-commit Checks now pass. The commit also replaces two "cortex" literals in update_stage.go with the existing proxyBinary constant (same value), so behavior does not change.

In cmd/agentop, go vet ./... is clean, and the update, stage and provenance tests pass (go test -run 'Update|Stage|Provenance|Release|Tarball'). Two other tests fail only in my sandbox: TestServiceInstall_RefusesABrokenConfig (no systemd user bus) and TestReportSessionInterruption. Neither touches files in this PR, and Go CI (authbridge agentop) passes. A local go mod tidy -diff in cmd/agentop could not finish because of a proxy TLS timeout, but the CI tidy gate passes and cmd/agentop/go.mod did not change in this commit.

Two CodeRabbit points are still valid on head. They are inline below as suggestions, not blockers. The other CodeRabbit points (download/extract size limits, retry without an expired token) are either already listed in the PR body or a design choice that fails closed.

suggestion: verifyBundles accepts the first bundle that passes v.Verify, but it discards the result. sigstore-go does not check the in-toto predicate type, and the policy pins only the digest and the signer identity. Any statement that the release workflow signs for this tarball therefore passes, for example an SBOM attestation. Today release-binaries.yaml emits only build provenance, so nothing can reach this path yet. Suggested fix: keep the result and require res.Statement != nil && res.Statement.PredicateType == "https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1" before return nil. Treat any other predicate type as a failed candidate, and add one test case for it.

suggestion: when --ref is omitted, a resolved newest tag that does not start with v falls through to the website-installer branch below. That branch skips the provenance check that D1 requires for default updates, so the default path fails open instead of closed. CodeRabbit raised this too. Suggested fix: when ref came from latestRelease(), return an error if it does not match the release-tag pattern. Keep the installer branch only for an explicitly supplied non-v ref. The semver check from my earlier comment on this file would cover both cases.

Summary

817d748 correctly applies the remaining review findings. I found nothing blocking on head.

  • Tag gate. Every existing tag matches releaseTag except main-latest, which still goes to install.sh. A newest release that is not a release tag now fails closed. v1/../../x, v1.2 and v1.2.3/x are refused before any file name, URL or SAN is built.
  • Predicate type. verifyBundles now requires https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1. I staged the live v0.9.5 linux/amd64 agentop + cortex set on head through stageRelease + checkProvenance, with real downloads, the attestations API and a TUF fetch, and no token. It is accepted, so the new check does not reject the real attest-build-provenance output. The same tarballs against the v0.9.4 SAN are refused.
  • Attestation decode. bundle is a json.RawMessage, so an entry with a wrong type or null cannot fail the whole decode. Such an entry is skipped, or it fails as its own candidate. An answer with only URL entries is still refused.
  • Size limits. LimitReader(limit+1) plus n > limit refuses a too-large body instead of cutting it short. The stage is still removed on that path (TestStageReleaseRefusesALargeChecksums asserts that the dir is empty).

Tests on head: gofmt -l and go vet are clean. go test -race -count=1 -run 'Update|Stage|Provenance|Restage|Checksum|Extract|Tarball|Staged|Release' passes. In a full go test ./... of cmd/agentop, three tests fail only in my sandbox: TestIsStagingDir fails because I pointed TMPDIR at a scratch dir (it passes with the default TMPDIR), and TestServiceInstall_RefusesABrokenConfig and TestReportSessionInterruption fail as in earlier reviews (no systemd user bus). Go CI (authbridge agentop) is green.

One inline suggestion below: the policy pins only the SAN and the issuer. Pin the source repository too, so that a future workflow_call trigger cannot widen who can produce a matching attestation. The points already listed in the PR body and in earlier reviews (non-v refs other than main that go to install.sh, no hint for releases before v0.9.5, cortex-session-dump, the extract into the same stage dir, no limit on extract size) are not repeated here.

suggestion: the identity pins only the issuer and the SAN. For GitHub Actions, Fulcio sets the SAN from job_workflow_ref. For a reusable workflow, that is the called workflow's ref, not the caller's. Today release-binaries.yaml has no workflow_call trigger, so nothing else can run it, and the check cannot be bypassed. But if someone adds that trigger later, any repository could call rossoctl/cortex/.github/workflows/release-binaries.yaml@refs/tags/vX. That run would build the caller's checkout and get an attestation with exactly this SAN. gh attestation verify --repo closes this gap by also checking the source repository. Suggested fix (one line): use verify.NewCertificateIdentity with certificate.Extensions{SourceRepositoryURI: "https://github.com/rossoctl/cortex", SourceRepositoryRef: "refs/tags/" + tag}, optionally with RunnerEnvironment: "github-hosted". I checked this policy against the v0.9.5 fixture bundle: it is accepted. With SourceRepositoryURI set to another repository, it is refused (expected SourceRepositoryURI to be ..., got "https://github.com/rossoctl/cortex").
