Changelog

All notable changes to cloverleaf-larry / larry-anywhere are recorded here. Versioning is loose-semver; bumps trigger the in-process self-update on every running client via LARRY_BASE_URL + MANIFEST.

v0.8.0 — 2026-05-27

PHI-safety quick-wins pack — three independent zero-risk patches closing four gap-classes Vera identified in the v0.7.5 static audit (Deliverables/2026-05-27-cloverleaf-larry-phi-leak-audit.md) with Pax's recommended mitigations (Deliverables/2026-05-27-cloverleaf-larry-phi-mitigation-research.md). No new dependencies, no behavior change for users not interacting with PHI.

• read_file/grep_files/glob_files/list_dir path-block list (closes V4 + V6 + V11). Refuse — with a structured JSON error the model must surface, NOT a silent "file not found" — any tool-side attempt to read or enumerate under $LARRY_HOME/log/ (auto-phi.log, headers.log, oauth.log, session logs), $LARRY_HOME/sanitize/ (lookup.tsv — the desanitization key), $LARRY_HOME/sessions/, $LARRY_HOME/.oauth.json, or $LARRY_HOME/.env. Block-list resolves $LARRY_HOME at call time (not script-parse time) and runs against both the literal path and its realpath -m canonical form, so symlink detours don't bypass. The proactive same-pattern sweep (Bryan standing rule, 2026-05-27) extended the block from tool_read_file alone to also cover tool_grep_files, tool_glob_files, and tool_list_dir — those tools would otherwise leak filenames or grep-matched content out of the same protected dirs without any approval gate.

• /load <file> HL7 pre-routing (closes V3). When the loaded file's content matches _auto_phi_looks_like_hl7, route it through lib/hl7-sanitize.sh (the segment-aware tokenizer with the full PHI field rule set: PID, PV1, NK1, GT1, IN1, OBR, OBX, DG1, ORC) BEFORE the existing user_input auto-PHI pass. Closes the gap where smat dumps loaded via /load only got the lighter per-word classifier, which misses bare HL7 PID fields. Status line reports how many fields were tokenized: phi> /load: hl7-sanitize.sh tokenized N HL7 field(s) from <file> before passing to auto-PHI. Strict mode (see below) aborts the /load if sanitize fails; default/confirm modes warn-and-continue.

• LARRY_AUTO_PHI=strict fail-closed mode (closes V5). New fourth value alongside off / on / confirm. In strict mode, the auto-PHI pipeline aborts the surrounding turn (no payload built, no API call) when: (a) lib/hl7-sanitize.sh is missing/non-executable on HL7-shaped user_input, (b) the sanitizer returns empty on HL7-shaped content, (c) any single value's tokenize-value call fails inside the detection loop. On the tool-result surface (which can't kill the in-flight tool_use), strict mode substitutes the result with a structured JSON refusal sentinel so the raw HL7 NEVER reaches the model. Existing off / on / confirm semantics unchanged (still fail-open per Bryan's "don't break tools" priority). Strict is the opt-in tradeoff for HIPAA work where a silent leak is worse than a broken turn. /phi-auto strict toggle and /help text updated. Wired into both auto-PHI invocation sites: user input scan and the tool-result HL7 sanitizer gate.

Proactive same-pattern sweep (Bryan standing rule, 2026-05-27). Searched the codebase for other tools matching the pattern "reads arbitrary path, returns content to model, no approval gate": found and patched tool_grep_files, tool_glob_files, tool_list_dir alongside tool_read_file. bash_exec/ssh_exec already require Y/N operator approval — the operator is the gatekeeper there (a second gate deferred to v0.8.1). No other matches.

Manifest unchanged (no new files in lib/).

v0.7.5 — 2026-05-27

Three focused changes, one common cause: the Cygwin/MobaXterm CR-taint pattern that crashed OAuth on Bryan's v0.7.3 work-box with the cryptic error bash: ...: arithmetic syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "").

• OAuth/arithmetic CR fix. lib/oauth.sh now routes every operand entering a bash arithmetic context (fetched_at, expires_in, now) through a dedicated coerce_int helper that strips non-digits at the source. The failure mode: $(date +%s) against a Cygwin pty where Windows-native date.exe shadows Cygwin date can return a CR-tainted epoch like "1779999999\r", which crashes the very next $((expires_at - now)). Diagnosis in Deliverables/2026-05-27-cloverleaf-larry-oauth-arithmetic-fix.md.

• Mouse mode is opt-in. REPL mouse handling now defaults to OFF and is enabled via LARRY_MOUSE=1 env var or /mouse on slash command. Several terminals (notably MobaXterm and stripped tmux) were swallowing the mouse ANSI sequences and printing literal ^[[?1000h garbage when v0.7.0 turned it on unconditionally. Diagnosis in Deliverables/2026-05-27-cloverleaf-larry-mouse-regression-fix.md.

• CR-safety sweep across lib/*.sh and top-level scripts. Three new primitives in lib/cygwin-safe.sh (sourced by every tool family member):

  • coerce_int VAL [DEFAULT] — for arithmetic and integer-test operands
  • strip_cr VAL — for case patterns, regex tests, paths, HTTP headers
  • read_clean VAR [PROMPT] — read -r wrapper that strips CR pre-assign Hardened call sites:
  • larry.sh — status-line date +%s / tput cols, three y/N approval prompts (write_file, bash_exec, first-run auth), API-key paste, first-run auth menu
  • lib/oauth.sh — cmd_login and cmd_refresh date +%s captures
  • lib/nc-engine.sh — five y/N action prompts (stop/start/bounce, resend, route-test, testxlate, tpstest) + find ... | wc -l arithmetic
  • lib/nc-msgs.sh — parse_time_ms date captures (4 sites), meta-TSV tm field, MSG_COUNT wc -l
  • lib/nc-regression.sh — tr | wc -c count, hl7-diff ?-fallback arithmetic
  • lib/nc-smat-diff.sh — A_COUNT/B_COUNT/DIFFS_TOTAL
  • lib/nc-insert-protocol.sh — every awk-emitted line-number that feeds head -n $((N-1)) / tail -n +$((N+1)) arithmetic
  • lib/journal.sh — _next_seq wc -l arithmetic
  • lib/lessons.sh — _next_id, cmd_list, cmd_count arithmetic + two y/N prompts (clear all, clear since)
  • lib/hl7-sanitize.sh — cmd_count arithmetic + clear-table y/N
  • lib/ssh-helper.sh — local + remote wc -c integer compares (4 sites)
  • lib/nc-find.sh — wc -l count for %d printf
  • lib/nc-table.sh — $(date +%s) in backup-filename construction
  • lib/nc-document.sh — two wc -l | %d printf sites
  • larry-rollback.sh — Proceed? y/N prompt

  Reproduction (now exercised by cygwin-safe.sh's in-line tests):

  now=$(printf '%s\r' 1779999999); echo $((now - 1))   # pre-fix: crashes
  now=$(coerce_int "$(printf '%s\r' 1779999999)" 0); echo $((now - 1))   # fix: 1779999998
  

  Added lib/cygwin-safe.sh to MANIFEST so it auto-syncs to every running client on next launch.
