📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SBOM discovery now requires successful verification with the configured sbom identity. Release and acceptance tests use verified-attestation data. PipelineRun-derived SBOM handling remains unchanged.

Changes

SBOM verification and discovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Verified SBOM discovery and trust contract policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego, design/sigstore-verification.md, example/data/rule_data.yml, policy/release/sbom/sbom.rego, antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_sbom.adoc	SBOM aggregation now consumes verified attestations, applies the configured sbom identity, reports verification failures, and documents fail-closed handling.
Discovery verification tests policy/lib/sbom/sbom_test.rego	Tests cover successful, failed, partial, and missing-identity verification paths, discovery exclusions, verification errors, and PipelineRun handling.
Release policy verified-attestation coverage policy/release/...	Release policy tests provide attestations through _verified_sbom_attestations across SBOM, proxy, dependency, pre-build, and Hermeto scenarios.
Acceptance policy wiring acceptance/features/sbom_proxy.feature, acceptance/policy/sbom_proxy/lib/sbom_acceptance_shim.rego	Acceptance scenarios use the dedicated SBOM proxy policy path, and the shim exposes test attestations through the verified-attestation rule.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b4220

Attached SBOM attestations now fail closed, but some failed verifier responses could omit the operator warning if they do not include an errors array. This is a bounded observability issue that should be addressed before or shortly after merge.

Review

Findings

Low

• [authorization] acceptance/policy/sbom_proxy/lib/sbom_acceptance_shim.rego:1 — The acceptance shim redefines the fail-closed _verified_sbom_attestations set inside the production lib.sbom package to trust every entry in input.attestations unconditionally. Scope is safely enforced today by convention: it is only loaded when sbom_proxy.feature adds $GITROOT/acceptance/policy/sbom_proxy to the policy path, and it lives under acceptance/ which is not part of released bundles. However, because Rego partial-rule definitions union across files sharing a package, any deployment or bundle build that inadvertently included acceptance/policy/** would silently bypass the new SBOM signing-identity fail-closed guard for attached attestations. The risk is contained by convention, not by mechanism.
  Defense-in-depth options (non-blocking): (a) place the shim in a distinct package (e.g. lib.sbom_acceptance) and have the acceptance harness inject/alias it rather than relying on package merging; (b) add a CI check that fails if any acceptance/policy/** path is present in a produced release bundle; (c) add a top-of-file guard comment and a lint rule warning that files under acceptance/policy/ must never share a package name with production policy/lib/** code.

Review

Risk assessment: moderate (2/5) — 11 files / 504 lines, no protected paths, low churn, experienced author. The change tightens the SBOM trust boundary by routing attached CycloneDX/SPDX attestations through the named sbom signing identity (fail-closed when absent) and reworks the discovery pipeline in policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego. Core intent (design doc + rule_data example + PR body) is coherent and well-documented, and the new test_attestation_sbom_requires_signing_identity / _signature_verification_failure / _partial_verification_failure cases exercise the fail-closed and mixed-verification paths. Findings below should be addressed before merge.

Findings

Medium

• [breaking-api] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:49 — Public rules cyclonedx_sboms and spdx_sboms change behavior: they now require a configured signing_identities.sbom entry and re-verification via ec.sigstore.verify_attestation. Offline / file-based callers relying on unverified attached attestations will get empty results. The break is intentional and fail-closed, and is documented in the design doc's Attached SBOM trust boundary section and the example/data/rule_data.yml comment — but this is still a public-rule contract change that downstream consumers (Conforma CLI, dependent policy repos) need to be told about.
  Remediation: Coordinate the release note / downstream announcement. Consider whether an informational warning rule (not a deprecation flag) surfacing "attached SBOM attestations were ignored because signing_identities.sbom is not configured" would help operators discover the required config.

• [observability-gap] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:566 — signature_verification_errors surfaces failures from oci.image_referrer_failures and oci.image_tag_ref_failures, but nothing surfaces failures from the new ec.sigstore.verify_attestation call added at line 78. When signing_identities.sbom is configured and an attached SBOM attestation fails signature verification, _verified_sbom_attestations returns empty and the SBOM is silently dropped with no operator-visible message — inconsistent with the referrer/tag-ref pattern in the same file. This is a real observability gap when the operator has configured verification and it fails (distinct from the identity-absent case, which is intentional-silent-by-design).
  Remediation: Add a signature_verification_errors rule body that, when _sbom_signing_identity_configured, calls ec.sigstore.verify_attestation(input.image.ref, _sbom_signing_identity) and, when success is false, iterates errors to emit "SBOM attestation signature verification failed for <image_ref>: <error>" messages — mirroring the two existing referrer/tag-ref rule bodies.

Low

• [observability-gap] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:73 — When input.attestations carries SBOM predicates but signing_identities.sbom is unconfigured, _verified_sbom_attestations is empty and the SBOMs are silently excluded. This is intentional fail-closed behavior (documented in the design doc and rule_data example), but there is no discoverability signal for operators who forget or omit the config.
  Remediation: Optional — emit a warning rule when input attestations carry SBOM predicates and signing_identities.sbom is absent, e.g., "attached SBOM attestations were ignored because signing_identities.sbom is not configured". See also: [observability-gap] finding at line 566.

• [trust-boundary-fragility] acceptance/policy/sbom_proxy/lib/sbom_acceptance_shim.rego:1 — The new shim declares package lib.sbom (same as production) and unconditionally unions every input.attestations entry into _verified_sbom_attestations. Because Rego partial contains rules aggregate across all files in a package, any evaluation that loads this file alongside production policy silently bypasses the new signing-identity verification. Real-world exposure is low today because acceptance/ is not shipped in policy bundles (only exercised by go test ./...), but the risk is completely hidden from static inspection of production files.
  Remediation: Isolate the shim — (a) move it to a distinct package such as acceptance.lib.sbom; or (b) gate the shim body on a sentinel that must be present in test rule_data / input (e.g. data.acceptance.sbom_proxy_shim_enabled == true) so loading the file alone is insufficient to bypass verification; or (c) add a CI assertion that no file under acceptance/policy/** declares production packages.

• [test-hygiene] policy/lib/sbom/sbom_test.rego:18 — test_cyclonedx_sboms and test_spdx_sboms still pass a hand-built input.attestations array containing an embedded CycloneDX/SPDX statement, but after this PR the from-attestations path reads only from _verified_sbom_attestations (populated via the ec.sigstore.verify_attestation mock). The "sbom from attestation" assertion succeeds only because the mock returns the same string — the embedded attestation entries are effectively dead input and misleadingly imply that input.attestations drives the from-attestation path.
  Remediation: Remove the CycloneDX/SPDX attestation entries from the local attestations variable (leaving only the pipelinerun statement), or drop the input.attestations override entirely for these two tests and rely on the mock plus _cyclonedx_image — matching the pattern already used by test_attestation_sbom_discovered_by_policy_verifier.

• [incomplete-migration-docs] example/data/rule_data.yml:41 — The updated comment explains the fail-closed change and shows the configuration to add, but doesn't point migrating callers to the fuller design-doc explanation.
  Remediation: Add a pointer to design/sigstore-verification.md's Attached SBOM trust boundary section, and note that no opt-out flag exists (fail-closed is by design).

Review

The change wires attached SBOM attestations through the sbom signing identity, adds an identity-configured guard to every downstream verification path, and keeps the pipelinerun-derived SBOM path unchanged. Guard placement in policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego is consistent — every reference to _sbom_signing_identity is gated by _sbom_signing_identity_configured. Downstream consumers (sbom_cyclonedx, sbom_spdx, pre_build_script_task, rpm_build_deps) all route through the public cyclonedx_sboms / spdx_sboms / all_sboms rules, so mocking lib.sbom._verified_sbom_attestations in their tests correctly bypasses the new verification boundary.

Two items should be addressed before merge:

1. _verified_sbom_attestations iterates verification.attestations without checking verification.success. Every other verification consumer in this repo (lib/intoto/trust.rego, base_image_registries.rego, lib/oci/oci.rego) — and the design doc itself (design/sigstore-verification.md) — gates on object.get(info, "success", false) == true. If ec.sigstore.verify_attestation ever returns success: false with a non-empty attestations field, this rule silently degrades to fail-open. The unit tests only pin the two extreme shapes (success+attestations, failure+empty), so this defensive gap is undertested.

2. Behavior change for ec validate --file / offline flows. The old path (_cyclonedx_sboms_from_input) accepted SBOM predicates from input.attestations directly. The new path (_cyclonedx_sboms_from_attestations) only accepts attestations returned by a live verify_attestation call against input.image.ref. When the sbom identity is configured, SBOMs supplied only via --file (never attached to the image, or evaluated without registry connectivity) are silently dropped — even though the PR body's wording ("fail closed when the SBOM signing identity is absent or invalid") reads as if the identity gate is the sole boundary. Either widen the accepted sources or make the trust boundary explicit in the design doc / release notes.

Findings

Medium

• [fail-open] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:80 — _verified_sbom_attestations iterates verification.attestations without checking verification.success. Codebase convention (per design/sigstore-verification.md and every other consumer of ec.sigstore.verify_*) is to gate on object.get(info, "success", false) == true. If the builtin ever returns partial results (attestations plus errors), this rule fail-opens.
  Remediation: Add object.get(verification, "success", false) == true before some attestation in verification.attestations, and add a _mock_verify_attestation_partial_success test that returns non-empty attestations alongside non-empty errors to pin the intended behavior.

• [edge-case] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:82 — Attached SBOM attestations are now sourced exclusively from ec.sigstore.verify_attestation(input.image.ref, _sbom_signing_identity). The prior _cyclonedx_sboms_from_input / _spdx_sboms_from_input paths that read input.attestations directly are removed and not replaced with an additive input-based clause. In --file / offline evaluation, SBOM attestations supplied via policy input are silently dropped whenever the sbom identity is configured. The pipelinerun path (_fetch_pipelinerun_sbom) is preserved, so this only affects attestations that are neither pipelinerun-derived nor registry-verifiable.
  Remediation: Either (a) reintroduce an input-derived clause into _verified_sbom_attestations (or an additive union), documenting the trust rationale, or (b) call out the removal explicitly in design/sigstore-verification.md / release notes so users of ec validate --file know their attached-attestation SBOMs will be ignored unless the same content is registry-verifiable.

Low

• [coverage-reduced] acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:1 — The pass-through override lives in the same package lib.sbom as the production rule, so Rego's incremental set-rule union merges the two definitions whenever a scenario's sources[].policy includes both policy/lib and acceptance/policy. The sbom_proxy.feature scenarios already opt in this way. Consequences: (i) the acceptance suite no longer exercises ec.sigstore.verify_attestation, the _sbom_signing_identity_configured gate, or the fail-closed default; (ii) any future acceptance scenario picking up $GITROOT/acceptance/policy inherits the bypass automatically; (iii) an operator who copies the acceptance policy layout into a real evaluation config would silently disable the new fail-closed boundary. Unit tests do cover the boundary — this is a coverage/scoping concern, not a functional bug.
  Remediation: Isolate the shim (e.g., move it to a distinct package acceptance.lib.sbom imported explicitly by the sbom_proxy scenarios, gate it on a scenario-specific data key, or place it in a subdirectory that is only added to the policy path of the sbom_proxy scenarios).

Review

The change tightens the trust boundary for attached CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM
attestations, which is aligned with the PR intent. Three related, high-severity
issues should be resolved before merge, along with several medium and low
findings around observability, migration signalling, and API-shape hygiene.

Findings

High

• [fail-closed-integrity] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:62 —
  _verified_sbom_attestations iterates verification.attestations from
  ec.sigstore.verify_attestation without first checking
  verification.success. This diverges from the established pattern for the
  same builtin in policy/lib/intoto/trust.rego:86
  (object.get(verification, "success", false) == true before iterating
  attestations) and from the pass/fail-gate guidance in
  design/sigstore-verification.md. Current tests only mock success: false
  paired with attestations: []; if the builtin ever returns partial data
  (attestations alongside success: false or non-empty errors), invalid
  attestations flow through as trusted. Reported independently by both the
  correctness and security dimensions.
  Remediation: gate on success before iterating, e.g.
  object.get(verification, "success", false) == true; some attestation in object.get(verification, "attestations", []),
  and add a test that mocks {success: false, errors: ["x"], attestations: [<att>]}.

• [trust-boundary-bypass] acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:9 — The
  acceptance shim declares package lib.sbom and defines
  _verified_sbom_attestations as a partial-set rule that unconditionally
  exposes every entry of input.attestations, with no signing-identity guard.
  Because Rego unions partial-set rules across files in the same package, if
  this file is ever loaded alongside policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego (via a
  vendored copy, a bundle that includes acceptance/, or a scenario that
  extends the load path), every input.attestation is added to the verified
  set — the new production guard becomes ineffective. Nothing in the file
  name, package, or contents signals "test-only, do not deploy," and the
  sbom_proxy.feature scenarios already prove the load mechanism works.
  Remediation: place the shim in a distinct package (e.g.
  acceptance.lib.sbom) that acceptance scenarios override via
  with data.lib.sbom._verified_sbom_attestations as ..., or scope the
  policy path to a scenario-specific directory (e.g.
  acceptance/policy/sbom_proxy/) rather than the generic
  $GITROOT/acceptance/policy. Rename the file so the shim is obviously
  test-only.

• [backward-incompatible] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:36 — The change
  narrows the trust of input.attestations for CycloneDX/SPDX-predicate
  statements, which was previously accepted without a signing-identity check.
  Downstream deployments that supplied attached SBOMs via input.attestations
  and have not configured signing_identities.sbom will see a dual failure
  mode: sbom.found
  (policy/release/sbom/sbom.rego) will begin firing "No SBOM attestations
  found" (fail-closed on existence), while every content-check deny/warn that
  iterates some s in sbom.cyclonedx_sboms|spdx_sboms in
  sbom_cyclonedx.rego, sbom_spdx.rego, rpm_build_deps.rego, and
  pre_build_script_task.rego silently iterates over the empty set and
  produces no findings (fail-open on content). The rule-data validation path
  is deliberately silent for the absent sbom identity
  (sigstore.optional_identity_rule_data_errors), so operators receive no
  warning that they need to migrate. The PR body notes fail-closed behavior
  is intentional, but the migration signalling is inadequate.
  Remediation: emit a rule_data_errors warning (or a first-class warn in
  lib/sbom) when input.attestations contains CycloneDX/SPDX predicates
  but no sbom signing identity is configured; add a design-doc
  "Backward compatibility / Migration" section covering the trust narrowing
  and the recommended upgrade path; and consider an effective_on grace
  period.

Medium

• [observability-regression] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:545,553 — Both
  signature_verification_errors rules are now gated on
  _sbom_signing_identity_configured. When the identity is unset, empty, or
  a non-object, they emit no errors — hiding referrer/tag-ref verification
  failures that could indicate tampering, MITM against the registry, or
  simple misconfiguration. Combined with the fail-closed drop in
  _sboms_from_referrers/_sboms_from_tag_refs, a misconfigured deployment
  gets neither SBOMs nor errors.
  Remediation: emit an operator-facing signal (a distinct warn or a new
  signature_verification_errors entry) when input.image.ref is present
  but _sbom_signing_identity_configured is false — e.g., "SBOM signature
  verification skipped: no sbom signing identity configured."

• [test-design] acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:9 — The acceptance
  shim's unconditional membership means no acceptance scenario can exercise
  the new fail-closed boundary. Any future sbom_proxy.feature scenario that
  attempts to verify "SBOMs excluded when signing identity is absent" is
  silently defeated because the shim keeps supplying attestations regardless
  of signing-identity state. The PR's stated intent ("fail closed when the
  SBOM signing identity is absent or invalid") has zero end-to-end
  acceptance coverage.
  Remediation: gate the shim on a marker (rule_data flag or a sentinel in
  the sample input) and add an acceptance scenario that asserts the
  fail-closed behavior end-to-end.

• [api-shape] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:62 — The private helper
  _verified_sbom_attestations (leading underscore = private-by-convention)
  is now referenced from other packages' tests as
  lib.sbom._verified_sbom_attestations (see
  pre_build_script_task_test.rego, rpm_build_deps_test.rego,
  sbom_test.rego, sbom_cyclonedx_test.rego, sbom_spdx_test.rego) and is
  overridden by the acceptance shim. That elevates a private symbol into a
  de facto stable test-mock API; any rename or removal is now a breaking
  change for downstream test suites, and the underscore prefix no longer
  signals its actual stability contract. The established convention in
  consumer tests (see policy/release/base_image_registries/base_image_registries_test.rego)
  is to stub the public sbom.cyclonedx_sboms / sbom.spdx_sboms / sbom.all_sboms
  entry points, not to reach into private helpers.
  Remediation: either promote the accessor to a public name (e.g.
  verified_sbom_attestations) and document it as the supported override
  point, or change the consumer tests to stub the public rules
  (matching base_image_registries_test.rego). Reserve
  _verified_sbom_attestations overrides for tests inside
  policy/lib/sbom/sbom_test.rego.
  See also: [trust-boundary-bypass] finding at
  acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:9.

• [docs-stale] antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_sbom.adoc:26 —
  The sbom.found rule doc says "Confirm an SBOM attestation exists" and the
  failure message is "No SBOM attestations found." After this PR, an
  attestation-derived SBOM is only counted when signing_identities.sbom is
  configured and the attestation verifies against it. Users with a valid
  attestation but no configured identity will get the same "not found"
  message with no hint that a signing-identity misconfiguration (not a
  missing SBOM) is the cause.
  Remediation: update the METADATA description and solution for the
  found rule in policy/release/sbom/sbom.rego to mention the new
  signing-identity precondition, then regenerate release_sbom.adoc.
  Consider disambiguating the failure message.

• [backward-incompatible] example/data/rule_data.yml:41 — The updated
  comment is the only in-tree migration signal for consumers, and it reads as
  if adding the sbom identity is still opt-in (as it was in the prior PR
  that gated only OCI-referrer/tag-ref discovery). It does not distinguish
  "changed default behavior" from "new opt-in surface." No CHANGELOG.md or
  RELEASE.md exists in this repo, and the design-doc diff adds only a
  single row without a migration section.
  Remediation: reword the comment to explicitly call out that the sbom
  identity is now required for attestation-derived SBOMs to be surfaced
  (previously they were surfaced unconditionally), and add a
  Backward-compatibility / Migration section to
  design/sigstore-verification.md.

Low

• [identity-shape-validation] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:537 —
  _sbom_signing_identity_configured only checks is_object(...) and
  count(...) > 0. A non-empty object missing required auth fields
  (public_key / certificate_identity / certificate_identity_regexp)
  passes the guard and is handed to ec.sigstore.verify_attestation;
  rejection then depends entirely on the builtin. rule_data_errors via
  sigstore.optional_identity_rule_data_errors does catch structurally
  invalid identities, so this is defense-in-depth rather than a live bypass.
  Remediation: strengthen the guard to require at least one of the auth
  fields, mirroring sigstore._validate_method.

• [docs-stale] antora/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/packages/release_sbom.adoc:38 —
  The sbom.signature_verification warning description says failures are
  reported "for SBOMs discovered via OCI referrers or image-tag refs." The
  new attestation-verification path (_verified_sbom_attestations via
  ec.sigstore.verify_attestation) is not surfaced through
  signature_verification_errors. Either broaden the warning coverage (once
  the code is extended) or update the doc to state the omission explicitly.
  Remediation: broaden the METADATA description/solution once
  signature_verification_errors is extended per the observability-regression
  finding.

• [design-doc-coherence] design/sigstore-verification.md:74 — The new
  table row describes only the accept path (some attestation in verification.attestations) and reads as additive. It omits the load-bearing
  change: input.attestations for CycloneDX/SPDX SBOMs is no longer trusted
  by default; the path now flows through verify_attestation and is
  fail-closed when the identity is absent.
  Remediation: extend the row (or add a short prose note beneath the table)
  explaining the trust narrowing.

• [naming] acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:1 — The shim file and its
  rule name are indistinguishable from production. A grep for
  package lib.sbom or for _verified_sbom_attestations returns this file
  interleaved with production files with no naming signal that it is
  acceptance-only.
  Remediation: rename to acceptance_sbom.rego or sbom_acceptance_shim.rego
  and/or contribute through a distinctly-named helper that a wrapper unions
  into _verified_sbom_attestations.
  See also: [trust-boundary-bypass] finding at
  acceptance/policy/lib/sbom.rego:9.

• [code-organization] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:62 —
  _verified_sbom_attestations sits between _spdx_sboms_from_attestations
  and _spdx_sboms_from_pipelinerun, breaking the module's symmetric
  cyclonedx→spdx grouping and hiding the fact that this rule is the shared
  source for both.
  Remediation: move it either just above _cyclonedx_sboms_from_attestations
  (so the source is defined before its consumers) or next to the other
  signing-identity helpers near _sbom_signing_identity at lines 527-540.

• [style-inconsistency] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:533 — Introducing
  default _sbom_signing_identity := {} plus a companion
  _sbom_signing_identity_configured predicate diverges from
  sigstore.named_identity, which is intentionally undefined when the
  identity is absent so consumers fail closed via undefined-propagation. If
  the default is required for correct argument evaluation into
  verify_attestation, please document the deviation.
  Remediation: either drop the default and use not is_null(...) /
  undefined-propagation, or add a doc-comment explaining why the default
  object is required.

• [mock-naming] policy/lib/sbom/sbom_test.rego:870 — The new
  attestation mocks (_mock_verify_cyclonedx_attestation,
  _mock_verify_spdx_attestation, _mock_verify_attestation_failure) break
  the _success / _failure outcome-suffix pattern already used for
  _mock_verify_image_success / _mock_verify_image_failure.
  Remediation: rename the success cases to end with _success (e.g.
  _mock_verify_attestation_success_cyclonedx,
  _mock_verify_attestation_success_spdx).

• [edge-case] policy/lib/sbom/sbom.rego:533 — A non-object value for
  signing_identities.sbom (e.g., a bare string) leaves
  _sbom_signing_identity set to that non-object, the is_object guard
  fails, and the module fails closed silently (no SBOMs, no errors from
  signature_verification_errors which is also guarded).
  rule_data_errors will emit a shape error via
  sigstore.optional_identity_rule_data_errors, so if consumers surface
  rule_data_errors in their policy report the misconfiguration is caught.
  Remediation: no code change required if rule_data_errors is wired into
  reports; otherwise consider surfacing a warn/deny for misconfigured sbom
  identity to prevent silent no-ops.

PR #1832 (EC-2026: Verify SBOM attestations with signing identities, human-authored by @joejstuart with Codex assistance) merged cleanly after a well-behaved fullsend review cycle. Five commits, five review dispatches (one cancelled by a fast follow-up push, four completed), one review per commit, no fix agent involvement, and no re-review loop between Sep 5 and the Sep 15 merge — the higher review-run volume visible in conforma/.fullsend during that window belongs to unrelated repos/PRs.

Autonomy signal (positive). The review agent independently caught the same critical CWE-347 fail-closed defect that coderabbitai flagged (_verified_sbom_attestations iterating verification.attestations without gating on verification.success), and additionally surfaced findings coderabbitai did not: a trust-boundary bypass where an acceptance-only shim shared package lib.sbom with production Rego, a backward-incompatibility gap in the narrowed input trust, and an observability gap that directly drove the follow-up commit b4220fc1 (fix(sbom): surface attestation verification errors). Human approvers (@robnester-rh, @BohdanMar) reviewed the final commit and approved without additional findings — they did not surface anything the bots missed. This is meaningful evidence that on Rego policy-security changes in this repo, review-agent depth is at or above human reviewer depth for the class of defects that matter (trust-boundary, fail-closed, observability of verification errors).

Duplicated findings — already tracked. The critical fail-closed defect was independently flagged by both fullsend and coderabbitai on commit a1a2994b. This duplication is already covered by fullsend-ai/agents#1241 (cross-reference CodeRabbit findings to avoid duplicate inline comments); no new issue needed. Repeated observability-gap re-raising across dismissed reviews is also covered by fullsend-ai/agents#1281 (don't re-report findings addressed in intervening commits).

Ambient concerns filed elsewhere. Debouncing review dispatch on rapid push sequences (relevant to the cancelled run 33803980756, which was superseded 20s after dispatch) is already tracked in fullsend-ai/fullsend#7314 and #7107. No re-filing needed.

Discoverability. Agent definitions resolved from fullsend-ai/agents@v0.41.0 (SHA 10560252b0adaf3a7253046ff16aad4d8d55aa92).

Proposals. One proposal below — a modest repo-level guardrail codifying the pattern that surfaced during this review (acceptance-only Rego must not share a package namespace with production Rego). All other retro-worthy observations are already tracked in the existing issues linked above; filing them again would create duplicate triage load, per the retro-analysis skill's guidance.

Proposals filed

• Guardrail: forbid acceptance-only Rego from declaring production package lib.* / package release.* namespaces (in conforma/policy)
