# Cognithor Stabilization & Release Hardening Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Make Cognithor installable, startable, and release-safe — no new features, only bug fixes, test hardening, and pipeline improvements.

**Architecture:** Fix four categories: (1) env-var override documentation mismatch and missing tests, (2) release pipeline lacks post-build smoke tests, (3) bootstrap endpoint security regression test, (4) installer version validation. All changes are test-first (red→green→commit).

**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12+, pytest, GitHub Actions, Ruff, Hatchling, Inno Setup

Run: `cd "D:\Jarvis\jarvis complete v20" && python -m pytest tests/release/test_pypi_startup.py -v --timeout=300 -k "not test_entry_point_version"`
Expected: `test_version_consistency` and `test_package_data_included` should PASS, `test_wheel_builds_cleanly` should PASS if `build` is installed.

- [ ] **Step 4: Write investigation report**

Create `docs/debug/startup_bug_investigation.md` documenting:
- PyPI latest is v0.88.0, local is v0.90.0
- The `jarvis→cognithor` rename happened in v0.90.0 (not yet published)
- v0.88.0 may have stale import paths from the rename transition
- No post-build smoke test exists in publish workflow
- Root cause: broken packages reach PyPI because CI doesn't test the built artifact

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add tests/release/ docs/debug/startup_bug_investigation.md
git commit -m "test(release): add wheel startup smoke tests and bug investigation

Root cause: publish workflow builds and uploads without installing
the built wheel to verify it starts. Version consistency between
pyproject.toml and __init__.py is not validated in CI."

### Task 2: Fix Bug 2 — Environment Variable Override

**Files:**
- Create: `tests/config/test_env_overrides.py`
- Modify: `CONFIG_REFERENCE.md`
- Modify: `src/cognithor/config.py:2705-2741`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write comprehensive env override tests**

```python
"""Tests for COGNITHOR_* environment variable overrides."""
from __future__ import annotations

from pathlib import Path

import pytest

from cognithor.config import load_config


class TestEnvOverrides:
    """Each documented env var must override the corresponding config value."""

    def test_language_override(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_LANGUAGE", "en")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.language == "en"

    def test_ollama_base_url(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_OLLAMA_BASE_URL", "http://remote:11434")

        assert cfg.planner.max_iterations == 50

    def test_models_planner_name(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_MODELS_PLANNER", "llama3:70b")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.models.planner.name == "llama3:70b"

    def test_llm_backend_type(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_LLM_BACKEND_TYPE", "anthropic")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")

    def test_owner_name(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_OWNER_NAME", "TestUser")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.owner_name == "TestUser"

    def test_env_overrides_yaml(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        """Env var wins over YAML file value."""
        yaml_file = tmp_path / "config.yaml"
        yaml_file.write_text("language: de\n", encoding="utf-8")
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_LANGUAGE", "zh")
        cfg = load_config(yaml_file)
        assert cfg.language == "zh"

    def test_bool_override_false(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        """String 'false' is coerced to bool False by Pydantic."""
        monkeypatch.setenv("COGNITHOR_CHANNELS_CLI_ENABLED", "false")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.channels.cli_enabled is False

    def test_legacy_jarvis_prefix(self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
        """JARVIS_* prefix still works for backward compatibility."""
        monkeypatch.setenv("JARVIS_LANGUAGE", "en")
        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.language == "en"

    def test_cognithor_prefix_wins_over_jarvis(
        self, tmp_path: Path, monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch

        cfg = load_config(tmp_path / "empty.yaml")
        assert cfg.language == "zh"
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests — expect `test_legacy_jarvis_prefix` to FAIL**

Run: `python -m pytest tests/config/test_env_overrides.py -v`
Expected: Most pass (Pydantic handles coercion), but `test_legacy_jarvis_prefix` fails because `_apply_env_overrides` only scans `COGNITHOR_*`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Add JARVIS_ backward-compat prefix to _apply_env_overrides**

In `src/cognithor/config.py`, modify `_apply_env_overrides`:

```python
def _apply_env_overrides(data: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    """Wendet COGNITHOR_* und legacy JARVIS_* Umgebungsvariablen an.

    Konvention: COGNITHOR_SECTION_KEY → data["section"]["key"]
    Legacy:     JARVIS_SECTION_KEY   → same (COGNITHOR_ takes precedence)
    """
    # Process JARVIS_ first (lower priority), then COGNITHOR_ (higher priority)
    for prefix in ("JARVIS_", "COGNITHOR_"):
        for key, value in os.environ.items():
            if not key.startswith(prefix):
                continue
            parts = key[len(prefix):].lower().split("_")
            # ... rest of existing logic unchanged ...
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests — all green**

Run: `python -m pytest tests/config/test_env_overrides.py -v`
Expected: All PASS

- [ ] **Step 5: Fix CONFIG_REFERENCE.md — replace JARVIS_ with COGNITHOR_**

Replace all `JARVIS_` env var references with `COGNITHOR_` and add note about legacy `JARVIS_*` support.

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add tests/config/test_env_overrides.py src/cognithor/config.py CONFIG_REFERENCE.md
git commit -m "fix(config): support legacy JARVIS_* env prefix, fix docs

CONFIG_REFERENCE.md documented JARVIS_* prefix but code only read
COGNITHOR_*. Now both prefixes work, COGNITHOR_ takes precedence.
Added 11 env override tests covering types, precedence, and nesting."
```

### Task 3: Bootstrap Security Regression Test

**Files:**
- Create: `tests/security/test_bootstrap_binding.py`
- Create: `docs/open_issues/networked_bootstrap.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the security regression test**

```python
"""Regression test: bootstrap token endpoint must be localhost-only."""
from __future__ import annotations

import pytest


class TestBootstrapBinding:
    """Ensure bootstrap endpoint is never exposed on non-localhost addresses."""

    def test_bootstrap_meta_tag_injection(self) -> None:
        """Token is injected via HTML meta tag, not a network endpoint."""
        from cognithor.__main__ import main  # noqa: F401 — just verify import
        # The bootstrap token is injected into index.html as a <meta> tag
        # at server startup. There is no /api/v1/bootstrap endpoint that
        # leaks the token over the network. This is by design (GHSA-cognithor-001).
        # If this import structure changes, this test reminds us to re-audit.

    def test_no_unauthenticated_token_endpoint(self) -> None:
        """No endpoint returns the API token without authentication."""
        # This is a documentation/design test, not a live server test.
        # The actual verification happens in the FastAPI route setup:
        # config_routes.py guards all endpoints with _verify_cc_token,
        # and the token is delivered via HTML meta tag injection, not HTTP.
        import inspect
        from cognithor.channels import config_routes
        source = inspect.getsource(config_routes)
        # The old /api/v1/bootstrap endpoint should not exist unprotected
        assert "bootstrap" not in source.lower() or "dependencies=deps" in source or "consumed" in source
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Write the issue document**

Create `docs/open_issues/networked_bootstrap.md` with problem statement, current design, and future solution (Ed25519 capability tokens).

- [ ] **Step 3: Run test, verify green**

Run: `python -m pytest tests/security/test_bootstrap_binding.py -v`

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add tests/security/test_bootstrap_binding.py docs/open_issues/networked_bootstrap.md
git commit -m "test(security): bootstrap endpoint binding regression test

Documents why bootstrap is localhost-only (GHSA-cognithor-001).
Creates issue ticket for future networked bootstrap with capability tokens."
```

### Task 4: Release Pipeline — Pre-Release Smoke Test

**Files:**
- Modify: `.github/workflows/publish.yml`
- Modify: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`

- [ ] **Step 1: Add version-consistency check to ci.yml**

Add a step to the lint job:

```yaml
    - name: Version consistency check
      run: |
        PYPROJECT_VER=$(python -c "import tomllib; print(tomllib.load(open('pyproject.toml','rb'))['project']['version'])")
        INIT_VER=$(python -c "import ast; [print(n.value.value) for n in ast.parse(open('src/cognithor/__init__.py').read()).body if isinstance(n,ast.Assign) and any(t.id=='__version__' for t in n.targets if isinstance(t,ast.Name))]")
        if [ "$PYPROJECT_VER" != "$INIT_VER" ]; then
          echo "::error::Version mismatch: pyproject.toml=$PYPROJECT_VER, __init__.py=$INIT_VER"
          exit 1
        fi
        echo "Version OK: $PYPROJECT_VER"
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Add pre-release validation job to publish.yml**

Insert a `validate` job between `test` and `publish`:

```yaml
  validate:
    name: Pre-Release Smoke Test
    needs: [lint, test]
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
        python-version: ["3.12", "3.13"]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
      - name: Build wheel
        run: |
          pip install build
          python -m build --wheel --outdir dist/
      - name: Install in clean venv
        run: |
          python -m venv test_venv
          test_venv/bin/pip install dist/*.whl  # Unix
        shell: bash
      - name: Smoke test
        run: |
          test_venv/bin/cognithor --version
          test_venv/bin/python -c "from cognithor.config import load_config; print('Config OK')"
        shell: bash
```

Update `publish` job: `needs: [lint, test, validate]`

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add .github/workflows/publish.yml .github/workflows/ci.yml
git commit -m "ci(release): add pre-release smoke test and version consistency check

Built wheel is now installed in a clean venv and smoke-tested on
3 OS x 2 Python versions before PyPI upload. Version string mismatch
between pyproject.toml and __init__.py now fails CI."
```

### Task 5: Installer Validation & Makefile Fix

**Files:**
- Modify: `Makefile`
- Create: `scripts/prepare_release.py`

- [ ] **Step 1: Fix Makefile VENV path**

```makefile
# Change from:

VENV = $(HOME)/.cognithor/venv
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Create cross-platform prepare_release.py**

- [ ] **Step 1: Create verify_readme_claims.py**

Script that counts test files, tools, channels, providers and compares against README claims. Fails if any claim deviates by >5%.

- [ ] **Step 2: Add pre-v1.0 disclaimer to README**

Insert after the badges, before feature list:

```markdown
> **Pre-v1.0 Beta** — Cognithor is under active development. APIs may change between releases. Not recommended for production customer-facing deployments. Bug reports and feedback welcome via [Issues](../../issues).
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Tag features with maturity levels**

Review each feature in the status table. Features with <80% test coverage or known issues get `Beta` or `Experimental` tags.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run verify_readme_claims.py, fix any deviations**

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add README.md scripts/verify_readme_claims.py
git commit -m "docs(readme): add maturity tags, pre-v1.0 disclaimer, claims audit

Each feature now has a maturity tag (Stable/Beta/Experimental/Planned).
verify_readme_claims.py validates numeric claims against code reality."
```
