Integrity Forensics — thin launcher for Anti-Autoresearch

Audit target: $ARGUMENTS

What this is. ARIS generates papers; Anti-Autoresearch is its outward-pointed dual — reviewer-side integrity forensics (46 patterns across 8 families, deterministic GRIM/GRIMMER/statcheck core, span-anchored claims, a rules-only adjudicator that owns the verdict). This skill is a thin launcher: it pins an upstream commit, validates the pin with the upstream eval gate, delegates execution unchanged, and post-processes the verdict into ARIS's policy vocabulary. It vendors nothing and forks nothing.

🔁 Cadence fence (shared-references/external-cadence.md): this skill is verdict-bearing decision support. Do not wrap it in /loop / /schedule — and NEVER as "iterate edits until it stops flagging" (see The One Forbidden Loop below).

Constants

• ANTI_AR_REPO = https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Anti-Autoresearch.git
• ANTI_AR_COMMIT = d8f510c49c29ccb5f98ecb1f8e397a7a27eb97c4 — the SHA-pin. The launcher NEVER tracks upstream HEAD; bumping this constant is a reviewed change (see Pin-bump checklist).
• CLONE_DIR = ~/.claude/anti-autoresearch — the pinned working copy.
• NO REVIEWER KNOBS. This launcher exposes no reviewer model/effort parameters and never maps ARIS — effort: onto upstream settings. The pinned upstream runs exactly what it pins (gpt-5.6-sol + xhigh, its own design decision). Overriding upstream review policy from a launcher would create a second, unauditable configuration surface.
• GATE_HELPER = forensics_gate.py — resolved via the canonical chain (shared-references/integration-contract.md §2): .aris/tools/ → tools/ → $ARIS_REPO/tools/. Failure policy A (required): if it cannot be resolved at assurance: submission, STOP — never improvise the gate.

Step 0 — Bootstrap the pin (idempotent)

CLONE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/anti-autoresearch"
ANTI_AR_COMMIT="d8f510c49c29ccb5f98ecb1f8e397a7a27eb97c4"

if [ ! -d "$CLONE_DIR/.git" ]; then
    git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Anti-Autoresearch.git "$CLONE_DIR"
fi
# fetch ONLY if the pin isn't already present — a cached, validated pin works offline
git -C "$CLONE_DIR" cat-file -e "$ANTI_AR_COMMIT^{commit}" 2>/dev/null \
    || git -C "$CLONE_DIR" fetch -q origin
git -C "$CLONE_DIR" checkout -qf "$ANTI_AR_COMMIT" || {
    echo "FATAL: cannot checkout pinned commit $ANTI_AR_COMMIT"; exit 1; }
# Force a PRISTINE tree at the pin — local tampering with the clone (edited
# adjudicator, injected module, even one hidden inside a NESTED git repo,
# which single-f clean skips) must not survive bootstrap and run under the
# official pin's name. Every step is checked; then the tree is verified.
git -C "$CLONE_DIR" reset --hard -q "$ANTI_AR_COMMIT" || {
    echo "FATAL: reset to pin failed"; exit 1; }
git -C "$CLONE_DIR" clean -ffdxq || {
    echo "FATAL: clean failed"; exit 1; }
[ -z "$(git -C "$CLONE_DIR" status --porcelain)" ] || {
    echo "FATAL: clone is not pristine after reset+clean — refusing to run"; exit 1; }

# One-time-per-pin validation: the upstream eval gate (8 injected-defect
# classes, 100% recall + zero clean false positives) must PASS before this
# pin is allowed to produce a verdict. NEVER skip; NEVER proceed on failure.
# The marker lives OUTSIDE the clone: a marker inside a tamperable tree proves
# nothing (and `git clean` above would erase it, forcing re-eval every run).
MARKER="${CLONE_DIR}.aris_eval_ok_${ANTI_AR_COMMIT}"
if [ ! -f "$MARKER" ]; then
    ( cd "$CLONE_DIR" && python3 eval/run_eval.py ) || {
        echo "FATAL: upstream eval gate FAILED at pin $ANTI_AR_COMMIT — refusing to"
        echo "       use an unvalidated forensics pin for verdicts."; exit 1; }
    touch "$MARKER"
fi
echo "anti-autoresearch pinned at $ANTI_AR_COMMIT (eval gate: validated)"

Step 1 — Delegate: run the upstream sweep, unchanged

Open and follow $CLONE_DIR/workflows/anti-autoresearch/SKILL.md end to end on the target. Two wrapper rules — the ONLY things this launcher adds:

1. cwd. Upstream skills self-locate via git rev-parse --show-toplevel. Run every upstream bash block with cd "$CLONE_DIR" first — ALWAYS the cd, never just an exported ROOT (upstream blocks re-derive ROOT themselves and would overwrite it) — and refer to the paper by absolute path, otherwise upstream resolves ROOT to the ARIS repo and finds the wrong Python spine.
2. Codex calls carry approval-policy: never + sandbox: read-only (session hygiene; upstream already specifies fresh-thread-per-dimension, serial execution, and its own model pins — do not alter them).

Everything else — the evidence ledger, coverage.json state machine, the nine auditor dimensions, the refutation pass, the deterministic adjudication — is upstream's contract. Never rewrite, soften, or re-map its outputs (report.json + REPORT.md, verdict ∈ CLEAN_GIVEN_EVIDENCE / SOFT_FLAGS / HARD_FLAGS / REVIEW_UNAVAILABLE). The observability level (L0/L1/L2) is whatever upstream derives from the artifacts present — do not promise L2.

Step 2 — Typed gate + obligations (ARIS-side post-processing)

# Resolve $GATE_HELPER via the canonical chain (integration-contract §2), then
# ONE atomic call (update + gate in a single locked transaction — the gate only
# ever speaks for the report the ledger has folded, sha-bound):
python3 "$GATE_HELPER" evaluate --report "$PAPER_DIR/report.json" --paper-dir "$PAPER_DIR" \
    --anti-ar-commit "$ANTI_AR_COMMIT" --executor-model "<this pipeline's executor>"
# exit 0 = WARN / NO_NEW_BLOCKER · exit 1 = BLOCK

The gate translates the verdict into policy WITHOUT re-labeling it:

plus: any OPEN critical obligation → BLOCK; any OPEN obligation → at least WARN; a closed-without-receipt or unknown-status ledger entry → BLOCK (a hand-edited "status": "RESOLVED" does not open the gate).

gate.json also records a paper_fingerprint (sha over the paper's compile inputs AND deliverables — .tex/.bib/.sty/.cls/figures/PDF). The downstream preflight is ONE command: python3 "$GATE_HELPER" fresh --paper-dir "$PAPER_DIR" --anti-ar-commit "$ANTI_AR_COMMIT" — exit 0 ⟺ the gate was produced at the CURRENT pin ∧ a gate exists ∧ nothing in the paper changed after it ∧ the gate matches the current obligations ledger ∧ the decision — re-computed from the sha-verified archived report (last_report.json) + the live ledger, never read from the gate's stored token — is pass-capable (WARN / NO_NEW_BLOCKER). Anything else — missing gate, post-gate edit or recompile, unbound ledger or archive, recompute mismatch, BLOCK, unknown token — exits 1: re-run the sweep + evaluate. Every ledger mutation (update/resolve/waive) deletes the standing gate.json, so an interrupted run can never leave a stale pass; and evaluate refuses a report OLDER than any paper file (a stale report cannot be folded onto text it never audited). Run evaluate immediately after the sweep, before touching any paper file.

The gate artifact also records honest provenance: upstream's auditors are GPT-family, so for a Claude executor the findings carry cross-family proposal provenance; for a Codex executor they are same-family. Either way this gate only raises flags — it has no acceptance to grant, so the distinction is informational, not a loophole.

Step 3 — Fix what it found (obligations, not a polish loop)

Every OPEN obligation gets FIXED — through the right door:

Close each obligation explicitly — the receipt is typed and hashed:

python3 "$GATE_HELPER" resolve --paper-dir "$PAPER_DIR" --obligation-id <id> \
    --fix-type corrected-from-results|claim-narrowed|claim-withdrawn|citation-replaced \
    --evidence <path-to-the-ground-truth-that-backs-the-fix> \
    --verified-by "human:<name>" | "checker:<tool>" | "cross-family-review:<thread-id>"
# or, with HUMAN sign-off only:
python3 "$GATE_HELPER" waive --paper-dir "$PAPER_DIR" --obligation-id <id> \
    --approver "human:<name>" --reason "<why this stands as-is>"

Rules the ledger enforces mechanically (tests/test_forensics_gate.py):

• append-only — re-running the sweep can open obligations, never close them;
• a finding that disappears from a later report stays OPEN and gains UNRESOLVED_DISAPPEARANCE — rewording the span is not a fix;
• claim-withdrawn is an honest fix (deleting an unsupported claim is a legitimate resolution — with the deletion diff as evidence);
• a waiver is not a resolution: human-approved, permanently recorded, original finding snapshot immutable;
• the executor's fix_type label is a receipt, not a verdict — closure of a critical needs a family checker, a fresh cross-family review, or a human (--verified-by requires TYPED provenance and is recorded; naming a human who did not approve is a false record with a permanent paper trail);
• receipts are re-verified, not remembered: on every later gate the evidence file must still exist and still hash to what was recorded at closure time — editing the evidence after closing re-opens the BLOCK;
• resolve/waive (like update) invalidate the standing gate.json — finish Step 3 by re-running the sweep + evaluate, so the gate that downstream preflights read reflects the post-fix state.

The One Forbidden Loop

Never run "edit → re-sweep → repeat until CLEAN". That objective function teaches the editor to defeat the detector — deleting an anchored span kills a flag faster than fixing the number, and the result is a paper laundered against its own audit. The re-run after fixes exists to confirm the DISCREPANCY is gone (and to catch new ones); the obligations ledger — not the verdict — decides whether the gate opens.

Trust boundary (what is computed vs what is protocol)

• Computed (the gate enforces these mechanically): verdict→policy mapping, append-only ledger lifecycle, sha bindings (report ↔ ledger ↔ archive), receipt re-hashing, the paper fingerprint, pin/version match, and the recomputed decision (fresh never trusts a stored token).
• Protocol (instruction-graded, deliberately): that the sweep actually ran at the pinned clone against this paper. The gate raises the bar — structural floor (a report must name its adjudicator and carry a coverage map), stale-report mtime guard — but true content-binding needs upstream to stamp a paper fingerprint into report.json (tracked as an upstream issue). Likewise human: / checker: / cross-family-review: labels are accountability, not authentication: a false label is an explicit, permanent false record.
• Out of scope: a party rewriting the .aris/ artifacts consistently with shell access has owner power (they could delete the directory outright). The gate defends against the sloppy or corner-cutting executor and against honest crashes/races/resumes — not against the machine's owner.

Pin-bump checklist (maintainers)

1. Set the new ANTI_AR_COMMIT; delete no markers (the eval gate re-runs automatically for the new SHA).
2. Diff upstream's schemas/report.schema.json + verdict vocabulary against the gate's policy table; extend tools/forensics_gate.py BEFORE bumping if they moved.
3. Old findings/obligations stay valid (fingerprints are span/hash-based, not id-based) — but findings produced by an older adjudicator must be re-audited, not re-adjudicated (upstream's own migration rule).

Codex-native note (mirror)

Upstream ships no Codex-native pack; its auditor skills are Claude-Code contracts. A Codex-native session may run upstream's deterministic-only mode (numeric core + adjudicator with an all-review_unavailable coverage map — honestly scoped: it can flag, it can never say CLEAN). The full nine-dimension sweep requires a Claude Code session. Translating upstream's reviewer calls into spawn_agent on the fly is REWRITING an upstream contract — forbidden.

Review tracing

Upstream saves its own per-dimension traces under the paper's .aris/traces/. The launcher adds only the .aris/forensics/ artifacts: gate.json (pins anti_ar_commit + report/ledger hashes + the paper-text fingerprint), obligations.json (the append-only ledger), and last_report.json (the sha-verified archive of the folded report that fresh recomputes from).
