Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 f9a9716ad2 feat(security): trust envelope for tracker text at every model-context ingress
Web page content has had a trust envelope since v1.38; tracker text did not —
PR bodies, PR/issue comment bodies, and model-judged issue titles entered
agent context raw. Anyone who can comment on a PR could put instructions in
front of the agent.

New lib/tracker-guard.ts + bin/gstack-issue-guard: every tracker-text read now
emits inside a "BEGIN UNTRUSTED TRACKER CONTENT" envelope. Content is enveloped
even when clean (a pattern scan is not proof of safety); injection-shaped lines
get a visible [INJECTION-PATTERN] label; NFKC + zero-width normalization runs
for DETECTION only (fullwidth/invisible evasion caught, content bytes never
rewritten); forged END banners are zero-width-spliced so they can't close the
envelope early. Fetch failure exits non-zero with NO envelope — never a
fake-trusted empty one. Issue numbers are validated and gh is spawned via argv
arrays. Patterns reuse lib/jsonl-store's INJECTION_PATTERNS single copy plus a
separate TRACKER_EXTRA list (kept separate so decision/learning store
write-rejection semantics don't change).

8 sites wired: greptile findings + replies fetches (metadata/body split — ids
and paths stay machine-raw for reply POSTs), review.ts PR-body reads x2,
land-and-deploy 3.5c, document-release PR/MR body (two-artifact flow: the
enveloped rendering is what the agent READS, the raw tempfile is what the
pipeline mutates, and a write-side banner tripwire aborts any edit that leaked
envelope markup), and spec's issue-title dedupe (titles are model-judged for
similarity, so they're ingress). Title-prefix rewrites and state-routing
fetches are mechanical, not ingress — deliberately not enveloped.

test/tracker-guard-wiring.test.ts is the CI tripwire: raw tracker-text reads
outside the guard fail the suite unless carried by a reasoned SCANNER_EXEMPT
entry; exemptions are liveness-checked so a moved site forces a re-audit.
