Inline comments:
In @.veilpiercer.jsonl:
- Around line 11-17: Prevent raw runtime messages from being committed by moving
the .veilpiercer.jsonl ledger outside the repository or sanitizing it to retain
only allowlisted fields, and add the runtime file pattern to .gitignore.
Preserve necessary audit metadata such as timestamps, event types, and hashes
without persisting complete USER_MSG or AGENT_RESPONSE content.
In `@phone-agent.sh`:
- Around line 8-16: Update the interactive loop around `AGENT_END` and
`veilpiercer verify` by adding an idempotent cleanup function and registering it
with traps for Ctrl-C, SIGTERM, and related termination signals. Ensure cleanup
logs the session end, runs audit verification once, and preserves or propagates
verification failures across both typed `exit` and interrupted termination
paths.
- Line 6: Update the audit command invocations in phone-agent.sh, including the
AGENT_START log and the additional veilpiercer log/verify calls, to check each
command’s exit status. Immediately terminate with a nonzero status when any
audit operation fails, ensuring the script cannot continue or report successful
verification after a failure.
- Around line 23-24: Update the USER_MSG logging in the message-processing flow
to avoid persisting raw phone-message content; replace the sanitized message
payload with the approved redaction, metadata, or digest mechanism. Do not rely
on quote removal or truncation as privacy protection, and preserve the existing
count/context information in veilpiercer log.
- Around line 8-10: Update the input loop around the read command to use IFS=
read -r -p "You: " msg and check its return status before processing msg. On
EOF, route execution through the existing normal cleanup path instead of logging
or appending another USER_MSG event; preserve the current exit-command handling
for valid input.
In `@start-hermit-audit.sh`:
- Line 12: Replace the predictable /tmp/gateway.log path in the background
start:gateway command with a log file created via mktemp, retain its path for
subsequent use, and remove the temporary log during the script’s cleanup
handling.
- Around line 18-23: The readiness probe in the loop using curl against
/api/agents must validate an actual successful gateway response rather than
merely a completed HTTP request. Replace the protected endpoint with a public
health endpoint or provide the required authorization, enable HTTP failure
detection, and add connection and overall request timeouts before logging
GATEWAY_READY.
- Around line 48-52: Preserve nonzero chat and verification exits across both
audit wrappers. In start-hermit-audit.sh, replace the hermit chat || true flow
with status capture, log a failure or abort outcome instead of unconditional
CHAT_END success, perform cleanup, and exit nonzero. In run-with-audit.sh,
capture chat and verification statuses, use an EXIT trap to record lifecycle
completion, and propagate any failure; update both referenced sites accordingly.
- Around line 12-14: Add an EXIT trap immediately after assigning GATEWAY_PID
that terminates the gateway, waits for its completion, and cleans up on normal
exits, errors, or signals. Apply the same cleanup behavior to the later gateway
startup block around the second GATEWAY_PID assignment, preserving the existing
straight-line flow.
In `@work-agent.sh`:
- Line 20: Update the command dispatch case for time so it accepts the
documented task argument, including prompts with spaces, and passes that task to
the timing workflow. Keep the help text and existing behavior for other commands
unchanged.
- Around line 29-35: Update the time command handling to check for an existing
active timer before writing .current_task or .task_start_time. If a timer is
active, refuse to start the new task and leave the existing timer state
unchanged; otherwise preserve the current task initialization, TASK_STARTED
logging, and timing output.
- Line 49: Update the task persistence and parsing around the work_tasks.csv
append and the awk processing near line 72 so task names containing commas
cannot shift the duration field. Use a CSV-aware serializer/parser or replace
the internal format with a validated unambiguous delimiter, and ensure invoice
totals continue reading the actual MINS value.
- Line 11: Update work-agent.sh so failures from both veilpiercer log and
veilpiercer verify propagate as nonzero exits instead of being ignored. Remove
or defer the exit success message until after veilpiercer verify completes
successfully, and report success only on that successful verification path.
- Line 14: Update both interactive input reads in work-agent.sh to use IFS= read
-r -p, preserving literal backslashes in command and task-name values before
they are written to .current_task, work_tasks.csv, and veilpiercer logs.
- Line 14: Update the command-reading loop around read in the work-agent script
to detect EOF or another failed read, then route through the existing
WORK_AGENT_END/session-finalization path so verification and cleanup still run
before exiting. Preserve normal command handling for successful reads and ensure
the EOF path terminates with the appropriate exit status after finalization.
- Around line 32-33: Update work-agent.sh to create and use a private,
permission-restricted state directory for temporary files such as .current_task
and .task_start_time, rather than writing predictable paths in the caller’s
working directory. Also change the work_tasks.csv append logic to resolve the
file from the script’s installed canonical location instead of the current
working directory.

Keep raw runtime messages out of the repository.
These USER_MSG records persist complete user input—including shell commands and local paths. Future prompts could contain credentials or PII, which would then remain in Git history. Store the ledger outside the repository or redact/allowlist message fields, and add the runtime file to .gitignore.

Propagate audit command failures.
If veilpiercer log fails, the agent continues without recording the event. If veilpiercer verify fails, the script still breaks and exits as though verification succeeded. This violates the audit contract used by run-with-audit.sh Lines 9-20 and work-agent.sh Lines 80-102. Check each result and terminate nonzero on failure.

Handle EOF before logging a closed stdin as a repeated message.
read returns false at EOF, but the loop ignores the status and treats the previous msg value as a new user message on each empty-line iteration, so abrupt stdin closure can repeatedly append USER_MSG events. Route EOF through the normal cleanup path and use IFS= read -r -p "You: " msg to parse the last user input exactly.

Add interruption cleanup for audited sessions.
Ctrl-C, SIGTERM, and similar termination paths bypass AGENT_END and veilpiercer verify; only typing exit performs cleanup. Add an idempotent cleanup function registered with trap so interrupted sessions are closed and verification failures are propagated.

Do not persist raw phone messages without an explicit privacy policy.
Removing quotes and truncating to 100 characters does not redact sensitive content. USER_MSG writes user-controlled phone messages to the persisted .veilpiercer.jsonl audit ledger; use approved redaction or metadata/digests unless content retention, access controls, and retention limits are explicitly required and documented.

existing WORK_AGENT_END/session-finalization path so verification and cleanup
still run before exiting. Preserve normal command handling for successful reads
and ensure the EOF path terminates with the appropriate exit status after
finalization.

Make the documented time <task> command work.
The help text advertises time <task>, but the case only accepts exactly time; time Design review is rejected as unknown. Either parse the argument or document time followed by the prompt.

that task to the timing workflow. Keep the help text and existing behavior for
other commands unchanged.

Do not overwrite an active timer.
A second time command replaces .current_task and .task_start_time, losing the first task without a completion event or billable record. Refuse to start until the current task is stopped.

Use a private state directory for work-agent temporary files.
The script writes state-adjacent paths are predictable relative paths, and work_tasks.csvis appended at line 49. If the user runs the script as an executable from an untrusted checkout, these relative writes can overwrite or append to attacker-controlled files. Put the state in a private, permission-restricted directory and derivework_tasks.csv` from an installed canonical location instead of relying on the caller’s CWD.

Do not parse raw task names as CSV fields.
A task named Client A, 9999 makes awk treat 9999 as its duration, corrupting the invoice total. Use an unambiguous internal format (for example, TSV with validation) or a CSV-aware serializer/parser.
