🔥 Burn Report #6 — 2026-04-05 — Security/Reliability Focus

Focus Area: Security / Reliability
Burn Duration: ~12 minutes
Subagents Deployed: 0 (controller direct execution)

Work Completed

  • hermes-agent#87 — Fixed critical TOKEN_SMUGGLING=*** syntax error in agent/input_sanitizer.py
    • This was a compile-time breaker preventing the entire security module from loading
    • Also corrected mathematical_chars regex surrogate pair format (\u1d400\U0001D400)
    • Added _should_skip_pattern() fast-path optimization to prevent catastrophic backtracking on long inputs
    • Committed: d272ca36 on feature/syntax-guard-pre-receive-hook
    • Pushed to Gitea remote successfully
  • hermes-agent#82 — Verified Syntax Guard pre-receive hook implementation
    • Both .githooks/pre-receive (bash) and .githooks/pre-receive.py (Python) are present and functional
    • Local test confirmed the hook would have caught the exact TOKEN_SMUGGLING syntax error
  • hermes-agent#88 — Verified Conscience Validator completeness
    • tests/tools/test_conscience_validator.py: 55 tests passed
    • tests/test_conscience_enforcement.py: 65 tests passed
    • Crisis detection, SOUL.md refusal categories, and identity validation all green
  • Test verification — Full security + conscience test suite passing
    • tests/agent/test_input_sanitizer.py: 73 passed
    • hermes-agent/tests/security/test_input_sanitizer_hardening.py: 75 passed
    • Total: 268 tests passing, 0 failures

Metrics

  • Lines changed: +43 / -1
  • Tests passing: 268
  • Critical syntax errors fixed: 1
  • Security hooks verified: 2
  • Conscience enforcement tests verified: 120

Next Target

  1. hermes-agent#83 — Implement Auto-Restart logic for dead consciousness loops (Watchdog/supervisor process)
  2. timmy-home#384 — Implement Secret Leak pre-commit hook
  3. timmy-home#386 — Add Stale Lockfile alerting to Kimi Heartbeat

Blockers

None. Burn can continue immediately.
