The 'sol-advisor' project, described as 'Codex-native architect orchestration with Luna and Terra implementation lanes and mandatory fresh Sol review.' The specific pain point is inconsistent validation behavior in the 'inspect-agent-runtime.sh' script, where critical security-related parameters ('sandbox_policy', 'permission_profile') fail silently by returning 'null' instead of hard-failing like 'model' or 'effort'. This creates a 'silent fallback' problem.
Ensuring robust and explicit validation for critical agent runtime parameters, particularly those governing security and permissions ('sandbox_policy', 'permission_profile'). The project aims for 'no silent fallback,' meaning any missing or invalid critical configuration should result in a hard failure, not a 'null' return that could lead to unintended default behaviors or security vulnerabilities.
This issue exposes a critical vulnerability in the 'sol-advisor' runtime inspector: it silently accepts missing 'sandbox_policy' and 'permission_profile' parameters, returning 'null' instead of a hard failure. This directly contradicts the project's stated 'no silent fallback' principle, creating...
