Harden the greenlight reviewer against credential exfiltration
**Impact:** greenlight PR reviewer (CI only) — the dispatched `greenlight-pr-review.yml` workflow and the `verdict` command **Risk:** low ## What Adds three defense-in-depth controls around the untrusted reviewer model: a read-confinement PreToolUse hook, secret-scrubbing of the verdict message, and an automatic decline for oversized diffs. ## Why The reviewer LLM runs on attacker-influenced input (the PR diff and the checked-out `pytorch/pytorch` tree). Previously it had unrestricted `Read`/`Glob`/`Grep` and its verdict `message` was published verbatim, so a prompt-injection payload could coax it to read a credential (OIDC token in `/proc`, `$GITHUB_ENV`, the scoped checkout token in `./pytorch/.git/config`) and emit it into the ClickHouse row or the public PR comment. These changes narrow that residual gap the previous hardening left open. - **Read confinement** — `restrict-read.py` denies by default, allowing a target only when its `realpath` lands under `./pytorch`, the trusted `.claude/skills`/`.claude/hooks`, or the `/tmp/greenlight-*` scratch, and never through a `.git` component. `persist-credentials: false` keeps the checkout token out of `./pytorch/.git/config`. - **Message scrubbing** — `redact.scrub_secrets` replaces credential-shaped substrings with `[REDACTED]` at a single fan-out point in `verdict.run`, covering both the emitted row and the posted comment. - **Oversized-diff decline** — the workflow gates on diff line count (the model's ~2000-line read window) with a byte backstop, dropping a canned `scope_too_large` NO_LAND rather than reviewing a change it cannot read in full. # Notes - Confinement changes the model's access contract: path-less `Glob`/`Grep` are now denied, so the greenlight-review skill was updated to require an explicit `path`. - Scrubbing is best-effort (precision over recall) — a novel or reshaped secret may slip past; it is not a guarantee. - The size caps are tunable via repo vars `PYTORCH_GREENLIGHT_MAX_DIFF_LINES` (default 2000) and `PYTORCH_GREENLIGHT_MAX_DIFF_BYTES` (default 500000). - The `eval_hash` land-guard was noted in an earlier review comment — this branch does not touch it.
