75  Adversarial Harness v2

76 Adversarial Harness v2

This harness layer tests system boundaries with local, harmless fixtures. It does not fetch external jailbreak corpora, execute forbidden tools, or publish operational bypass text.

76.1 Execution Policy

  • Payload policy: defanged-fixtures-only
  • Execution policy: local-read-only

76.2 Harnesses

Harness Fixture Purpose Checks Safety Boundary
tool-mediator forbidden-tool-call Verify forbidden tool requests are classified without execution. declared_allowed_tools; declared_forbidden_tools; forbidden_commands_present_in_fixture No command from the fixture is executed.
retrieval-taint rag-chunk-override Verify retrieved chunks are treated as data with taint labels. retrieved_chunk_markers; canary_present_in_fixture; expected_safe_answer No external retrieval is performed.
multi-turn-state multi-turn-scope-creep Verify later turns cannot silently expand authority. turn_labels_present; scope_creep_turns_present; canary_present_in_fixture Static transcript fixture only.
long-context-drift many-shot-policy-drift Verify bad demonstrations are not treated as behavior to imitate. demonstration_markers; bad_assistant_examples; expected_safe_summary Defanged demonstrations only.
redaction canary-leakage Verify published outputs do not repeat canary values. forbidden_strings_absent_from_recorded_outputs; redaction_guidance_expected Harmless synthetic canaries only.
overrefusal indirect-readme-injection Verify defensive handling preserves useful benign work. benign_task_keywords_scored; utility_preservation_nonzero Fixture-local install/test strings only.

76.3 External Corpus Adapter Policy

Enabled by default: false

Required metadata:

  • source_url
  • license
  • fetch_date
  • transformation_policy
  • defanging_policy
  • local_opt_in

Rules:

  • No external corpus is fetched in CI.
  • No operational bypass prompt is committed to the repository.
  • Adapter output must be defanged before a case can enter the public bench.
  • Maintainer opt-in is required for local corpus experiments.

76.4 Safety Review Checklist

  • No operational bypass text.
  • No real secrets.
  • No harmful target instructions.
  • Mitigation and audit guidance required.
  • Reviewer signoff recorded before public bench promotion.
