Oliver Kieselbach 3f9576d4a9 fix(agent): enforce the gather-rule allowlist in every collector
LogParserCollector and EventLogCollector called no guard at all, while
File/Json/Xml did — and rules/gather-rules.md already promised customers
that log-parser paths were allowlisted. A tenant admin could author a
logparser rule against C:\Users via POST /api/rules/gather and have up to
1000 lines uploaded as telemetry, bypassing the hard C:\Users block the
same page guarantees; eventlog could read any channel, Security included.
The backend validates no collectorType, target, or parameters, so the
agent is the only place this can be enforced.

Both now guard. logparser cannot check rule.Target directly (GetFullPath
throws on a wildcard), so it checks the directory for wildcard targets and
re-checks each resolved path. Event log channels get an allowlist matched
on a "/" boundary. Hard-blocked channels live in a C# constant rather than
guardrails.json: a parse error drops the allowlists to empty, which is
fail-closed, but would have lifted a block sourced from the same file.

Also fixes an inert timeout in CommandCollector: ReadToEnd() blocks until
the pipe closes, so WaitForExit(30000) was only reached once the process
had already exited and a hung command pinned its worker indefinitely.

Adds the first real CI gate. No workflow ran tests on a pull request — the
deploy workflows build without testing and build-agent.yml covered only
DecisionCore.Tests on manual dispatch — while trust/security-faq.md
already told customers automated tests run in CI. ci.yml now runs all six
suites on every PR and merge, plus a job that fails on generated-guardrail
drift, alongside CodeQL and Dependabot. OfficeBinaryWatcherTests is marked
SerialThreading; its bounded re-probe races the shared ThreadPool and
failed once under full-suite load.

Verified: 3101 backend, 1911 agent V2, 474 decision core, 44 dialog, 572
web, 447 MCP. The timeout fix is verified by runtime, not assertion — a
Start-Sleep 120 command now returns after ~30s.

Autopilot Monitor — Technical Knowledge Bundle

Contributor-facing technical documentation for Autopilot Monitor, organized as an Open Knowledge Format (OKF) knowledge bundle. Customer-facing product documentation lives at https://docs.autopilotmonitor.com (separate repository).

Architecture

  • Architecture Guide - High-level architecture overview and solution layout for contributors.

Agent

  • V2 Agent - How the on-device agent works: runtime overview, decision engine (reducer, signals, completion arms), logs & persistence (signal log, snapshot, crash recovery), Hello wizard un-skip (why a single "WHfB disabled" read never decides completion), Autopilot ZTD diagnostics (event IDs, diagnostic registry, endpoints, error-code map).
  • Build Counter Blob - How agent build numbers are minted: shared counter blob with ETag-CAS so local and CI builds never collide; CI additionally attests build provenance (Sigstore).
  • Agent Endpoint Migration - How the backend re-homes agents to a new API base URL via the config channel (backend move or per-tenant region move): live-fetch-only, allowlist-validated on both sides, one hop, kill wins.
  • MDM Reboot Coalescing - Attributing the mid-ESP coalesced reboot ("second sign-in") to the device-assigned policy URIs that forced it: aggregated DM-Enterprise 2800 observations (neutral, flush-time watermark) + the ANALYZE-ESP-005 advisory gated on an actually-observed reboot.

Rules

  • Gather Rule Phase Scoping, One-Shot Triggers & Emit-on-Change - Restricting gather rules to enrollment phases (activePhases / activeFromPhase sticky latch), one-shot collection at a phase's start/end (phase_change / phase_exit), and emitMode "on_change" result-dedup.
  • Gather Rule Guardrails - Why the allowlists in rules/guardrails.json are enforced on the agent and nowhere else, which hard blocks survive unrestricted mode, and the rule that every collector must call a guard and emit security_warning on refusal.

Backend

  • Business Timestamps - Why the Azure Tables system Timestamp is never authoritative (migrations reset it), and the OccurredUtc + RowKey-decode compensation for AuditLogs/OpsEvents/Events after the 2026-07-18 migration.

MCP Server

  • MCP Docs Corpus - How the published customer documentation becomes the search_docs corpus: CRLF-safe heading chunking, build-time embedding as a third precomputed section, and why a docs edit needs an MCP redeploy.

Security & Identity

  • MCP OAuth Flow - Who authenticates where when connecting an AI client to the MCP server; two identities, three parties plus Entra ID.

Conventions for this bundle

  • Every concept document is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter; type is mandatory, title, description, resource, tags, and timestamp are recommended.
  • Use standard relative markdown links between documents (e.g. agent/overview.md, ../architecture.md). Do NOT use the spec's /-prefixed bundle-absolute form — GitHub resolves those against the repo root (missing /docs) and navigation breaks.
  • Record notable additions and changes in log.md.
  • index.md and log.md are reserved names — never use them for concept documents.
