From 6022db2c9a54e6171550473d8fa53a204a16fb98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:12:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test(server): lock the shared-vs-own-only tab gate contract MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The pre-fix tests at tab-isolation.test.ts:43,57 encoded the broken behavior as the contract — they specifically asserted "scoped agent cannot write to unowned tab," which was the exact failure mode that broke browser-skills. They passed because they tested the wrong invariant. This commit replaces those tests with explicit shared-vs-own-only coverage that documents what each policy actually means: - Shared scoped agents (skill spawns, default scoped clients) can read AND write any tab — unowned, their own, or another agent's. The capability is gated by scope checks + rate limits, not by tab ownership. - Own-only scoped agents (pair-agent over tunnel) cannot read OR write any tab they don't own. Pre-fix this case was conflated with shared writes; now it's explicit. 9 unit assertions on checkTabAccess, up from 6. Each test names the policy axis it's covering so a future refactor can't quietly flip the contract. Adds source-shape regression test 10a in server-auth.test.ts: "tab gate predicate is own-only-scoped, not write-scoped." The gate's `if (...)` line MUST contain `tabPolicy === 'own-only'` and MUST NOT contain `WRITE_COMMANDS.has(command) ||`. If a future refactor re-introduces the write-scoped gate, this fails immediately in free-tier `bun test`. Updates the marker for the existing newtab-excluded test to match the new comment block ("Tab ownership check (own-only tokens / pair-agent isolation)").
