Goal + +Today every HCP Terraform DELETE through tfctl requires an interactive TTY +confirmation, so coding agents (which run non-interactively) can never delete. +That is the correct safe default. We want a way for a **human to explicitly +authorize a single agent session** to perform noninteractive deletes, that +**reverts to the safe default automatically** when the session ends. + +Mechanism: a wrapper command `tfctl harness exec [--allow-delete=…] -- ` +that launches the agent with a short-lived session permission, which any nested +`tfctl` invocation can detect and honor. + +### Design principle (write this in the docs) + +This is a **safety rail, not a security boundary.** The agent runs as the same +OS user as the wrapper, so it could write its own session file and export the +env var itself. The value we provide is: *a human had to deliberately opt in, and +it auto-reverts.* If you need a hard guarantee that an agent **cannot** delete +prod, that must come from the **API token scope server-side** (a least-privilege +team token without delete on projects/orgs), not from this client. + +Two real (non-theatrical) properties we DO get and should engineer for: +1. **Ephemerality / liveness** — the grant is tied to a live process and goes + away when it dies. Prefer this over "remember to delete a file." +2. **Anti-leak via process ancestry** — a leaked/copied `TFCTL_EXEC_SESSION` + (these end up in logs and shell history) must not re-authorize an unrelated + process.

If the harness cannot fake a live ancestor PID, keep this as a behavior/intent check rather than a real deletion. +- `32-irreversible-still-blocked.yaml` — session granting `workspaces` only; ask to delete a project; expect refusal + the `--allow-delete=projects` hint. + +Check whether `eval.yaml` needs the new tasks listed (it globs `tasks/*.yaml`, so just add files). Confirm whether per-task `env` is supported by the waza schema; if not, gate 31/32 to intent-level assertions. + +--- + +## 8. Docs & discoverability (explicitly address the known weakness) + +The biggest drawback Brandon flagged: "you'd never discover this on your own." +Mitigations, all of which should ship: +1. The **self-documenting denial message** (§5.3) — primary fix. +2. `harness exec` LongHelp + an example in the README / `tfctl harness --help`. +3. A short note in `SKILL.md` (§6) so agents proactively suggest it. +4. (Optional) mention in `tfctl harness context` output. + +--- + +## 9. Cross-platform / edge cases + +- **Windows:** flock and `/proc` don't exist. For v1 either implement + `LockFileEx` + Toolhelp32 ancestry, or ship `ancestry_windows.go` returning + `ok=false` (then a leaked env var on Windows degrades to "file must exist and + env must be set" — still requires the human to have created the session, just + without the ancestry guarantee). Document whichever you choose. +- **Stale files:** consumer treats env-set-but-file-missing as "stale" → deny. + A leaked file whose PID is dead fails the ancestry walk → deny. Consider a + best-effort sweep in `Store.Create` that removes files whose `pid` is no + longer alive (optional housekeeping; not required for correctness). +- **Nested `harness exec`:** inner wrapper overwrites `TFCTL_EXEC_SESSION` for + its subtree with its own token/grant. Fine; each grant is independent. +- **Transitive grant:** every descendant of the wrapper sees the env var for the + session lifetime — that's the intended behavior (the whole subtree is trusted). + Note it in docs. +- **dry-run:** `harness exec --dry-run` writes nothing and runs nothing (§4.4). + A DELETE under an authorized session with global `--dry-run` still evaluates + permission, then skips the request at api.go:442 (unchanged). +- **`--quiet` automation:** now works for granted classes because session + authorization precedes the quiet check (§5.2). Update/remove the + `api_test.go:556` expectation that quiet+DELETE always errors (it should only + error when there is no authorizing session). +- **Signal handling:** rely on context cancellation + foreground-group signal + delivery for v1. If you find orphaned children, add explicit + `signal.Notify` forwarding and a process group. + +--- + +## 10.

Don't run `tfctl harness exec` yourself to grant delete permission — that defeats the human-in-the-loop. If a delete is needed, print the exact `tfctl api -X DELETE ...` command and ask the user to run it. (A human may instead pre-authorize you by launching you inside `tfctl harness exec --allow-delete= -- `; if so, the matching noninteractive deletes will simply succeed — proceed normally, but only for the classes they granted.) 3. **Resolve names with `-p`, not separate lookup calls.** Paths with `{workspace}`/`{team}`/`{project}`/`{varset}` accept `-p workspace=NAME` etc. — tfctl resolves name→ID for you. Don't fetch the ID first. 4. **Trust the first answer.** `data: []`, `data: null`, `relationships.X.data: null`, or stderr "no current run"/"not found" ARE the answer.

Non-negotiables from it: **TDD**, respect `--dry-run`, -> stdout via a displayer (`--json`/`--markdown`/pretty), stderr via `ColorScheme`, -> pass an `XXXOpts` value to a private `runXXX`, use `Logger()` for debug output. - ---- - -## 1. Goal - -Today every HCP Terraform DELETE through tfctl requires an interactive TTY -confirmation, so coding agents (which run non-interactively) can never delete. -That is the correct safe default. We want a way for a **human to explicitly -authorize a single agent session** to perform noninteractive deletes, that -**reverts to the safe default automatically** when the session ends. - -Mechanism: a wrapper command `tfctl harness exec [--allow-delete=…] -- ` -that launches the agent with a short-lived session permission, which any nested -`tfctl` invocation can detect and honor. - -### Design principle (write this in the docs) - -This is a **safety rail, not a security boundary.** The agent runs as the same -OS user as the wrapper, so it could write its own session file and export the -env var itself. The value we provide is: *a human had to deliberately opt in, and -it auto-reverts.* If you need a hard guarantee that an agent **cannot** delete -prod, that must come from the **API token scope server-side** (a least-privilege -team token without delete on projects/orgs), not from this client. - -Two real (non-theatrical) properties we DO get and should engineer for: -1. **Ephemerality / liveness** — the grant is tied to a live process and goes - away when it dies. Prefer this over "remember to delete a file." -2. **Anti-leak via process ancestry** — a leaked/copied `TFCTL_EXEC_SESSION` - (these end up in logs and shell history) must not re-authorize an unrelated - process.

Two robustness concerns: - -1. **Require the `--` separator.** Without it, `tfctl harness exec opencode --model x` - would make pflag try to parse `--model` as an exec flag → "unknown flag". - Either: - - (Recommended, simplest) Document and require `--`. In `RunF`, if - `len(args) == 0` return a usage error telling the user to use - `tfctl harness exec [flags] -- [args]`. - - (Optional, nicer UX) Add support for `SetInterspersed(false)` on this - command's flagset so the first positional stops flag parsing (how - `kubectl exec`/`docker run` behave). This needs a small addition to the - `cmd.Command`/flag-building code; only do this if you want bare-form - support. **For v1, require `--`.** -2. **Don't let positional-arg validation reject the trailing args.** Set - `Args: cmd.PositionalArguments{}` with a validate function that accepts a - variadic tail (the child + its args). Confirm how `PositionalArguments` - validates count in `internal/pkg/cmd/args.go`; configure it to allow 1..N. - If the existing types can't express "1 or more arbitrary args", pass the raw - `args` straight through in `RunF` (they already exclude everything before - `--` only if the user used `--`; since we require `--`, `args` == child argv). - -In `RunF`: -```go -opts.Argv = args // everything after `--` -if inv.IsDryRun() { opts.DryRun = true } -return runExec(inv.ShutdownCtx, &opts) -``` - -### 4.4 `runExec` - -```go -func runExec(ctx context.Context, opts *ExecOpts) error { - logger := logging.FromContext(ctx) - cs := opts.IO.ColorScheme() - - if len(opts.Argv) == 0 { - return errors.New("no command to run; usage: tfctl harness exec [--allow-delete=CLASSES] -- [args...]") - } - - perms, warnings := execsession.NormalizeAllowDelete(opts.AllowDelete) - for _, w := range warnings { - fmt.Fprintf(opts.IO.Err(), "%s %s\n", cs.WarningLabel(), w) - } - - if opts.DryRun { - fmt.Fprintf(opts.IO.Err(), "%s would create exec session (allow-delete=%v) and run: %s\n", - cs.DryRunLabel(), perms.AllowDelete, strings.Join(opts.Argv, " ")) - return nil // do NOT write a file or run the child in dry-run - } - - handle, err := opts.Store.Create(execsession.Permissions{AllowDelete: perms.AllowDelete}, opts.PID) - if err != nil { - return fmt.Errorf("failed to create exec session: %w", err) - } - defer func() { - if cerr := handle.Close(); cerr != nil { - logger.Debug("failed to clean up exec session", "error", cerr) - } - }() - - logger.Debug("exec session created", "allow_delete", perms.AllowDelete) - fmt.Fprintf(opts.IO.Err(), "%s tfctl deletes enabled for this session: %v\n", cs.WarningLabel(), perms.AllowDelete) - - env := append(os.Environ(), execsession.EnvVar+"="+handle.Token()) - code, runErr := opts.Run(ctx, opts.Argv, env, opts.IO) - if runErr != nil { - return fmt.Errorf("failed to run %q: %w", opts.Argv[0], runErr) - } - if code != 0 { - return cmd.NewExitError(code, nil) // propagate child's exit code - } - return nil -} -``` - -`realRunner` (default `opts.Run`): use `os/exec` with **real TTY passthrough** so -interactive agents work — `cmd.Stdin = os.Stdin; cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout; -cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr` (NOT the IOStreams buffers; the child needs the real -terminal). Use `exec.CommandContext(ctx, argv[0], argv[1:]...)`, set `cmd.Env`, -`cmd.Start()`, `cmd.Wait()`, and return `exitErr.ExitCode()` on `*exec.ExitError`. -Cleanup runs via the `defer handle.Close()` on normal exit and on SIGINT/SIGTERM -(the terminal delivers those to the foreground group; the wrapper's Wait returns -and defers fire).
