Adam Moussa dbe2f8c186 Raise nightly agentic budget $20 -> $120 for full per-night coverage
First-run data (2026-06-17) showed the $20 ceiling covered only the
canary + 5 of ~22 scannable repos before pausing the rotation, leaving
16 repos un-deep-scanned that night. Raise TOTAL_BUDGET_USD default to
$120 so every repo gets a deep agentic pass each night (~22 x ~$5 +
canary, with headroom). Spend draws on the Max subscription pool; the
per-target cap ($12) and round-robin rotation are unchanged, so this is
a ceiling raise, not a per-repo cost change. Updates README, DEPLOY, and
the systemd Environment example to match.

# security-review
The Sea Haven security-review gate. One pure-code script (`review.sh`) is the decision-maker; everything
else (hooks, the interactive skill, the headless runner, the nightly sweep) is a trigger that feeds it.
See memory `project-security-review-agent` for the full design.
## Pieces
- `review.sh` — merges deterministic-scanner findings + agent findings, dedups, applies suppressions
(justification required), and makes the **block decision** (no agent decides). Exit 1 = BLOCK.
- `hooks/pre-commit`, `hooks/pre-push` + `install-hooks.sh` — fast `--scanners-only` gates. Install once
globally for every repo, or per-repo (see below).
- `skill/sh-security-review.md` — the interactive agentic detector/verifier prompt (Path A, Max-covered).
`finding.schema.json` — the structured finding contract both paths emit. `install-hooks.sh --global`
links these into `~/.claude/` (this repo is the source of truth).
- `run_headless.py` — the Path B headless detector fan-out + proof-or-kill verifier (Claude Agent SDK,
subscription OAuth). Self-contained: prompts are inline, so the VM needs no `~/.claude` assets to run it.
- `nightly_sweep.sh` + `systemd/` — the unattended two-tier sweep on the `sh-secrev` VM (R720).
## Triggers (one script, many entry points)
- **On-demand (primary):** run `/sh-security-review` in a Claude Code session (Max-covered), have it
write its schema JSON, then `review.sh --agent-findings out.json <repo>` to gate. Required before
pushing payments/auth/IaC/input-handling changes (see the global CLAUDE.md security-review rule).
- **Pre-commit / pre-push:** the global git hooks run deterministic scanners automatically.
- **Nightly:** the VM sweep (Path B) is the unattended backstop.
### Installing the hooks
```
# Global — gate EVERY repo on this machine, and link the skill + schema into ~/.claude:
security-review/install-hooks.sh --global
# Per-repo — for a repo that sets its own core.hooksPath (e.g. husky) and would shadow the global hook:
security-review/install-hooks.sh /path/to/repo
```
The global mode sets `git config --global core.hooksPath ~/.config/git/hooks`. Skip a repo with a
`.security-review-skip` file at its root; bypass once with `git push --no-verify`. Caveat: a repo with
its own local `core.hooksPath` overrides the global hook — install per-repo there. See memory
`reference_global_security_review_hook`.
**Suppressing a false positive.** A written justification is required and is surfaced in the report. The
hooks resolve a suppressions file in this order:
1. **Machine-level (preferred), kept out of repo history:**
`${SH_SECURITY_SUPPRESSIONS_DIR:-~/.config/sea-haven/security-review}/<repo-basename>/suppressions.json`
(override the base dir with `SH_SECURITY_SUPPRESSIONS_DIR`). Keeps a suppression from becoming a
permanent in-history "ignore."
2. **Repo-local fallback:** `<repo>/.security-review/suppressions.json` (used only if no machine-level file exists).
Same JSON either place: `{"suppressions":[{"id":"<review.sh finding id>","justification":"…"}]}`. Caveat:
machine-level files are keyed by **repo basename**, so two repos sharing a name collide — fine for the
current single-namespace layout under `~/Documents/repositories`.
## No CI — by design
There is **no CI** wiring for this gate. For a solo dev the git hooks + nightly VM sweep are the backstop,
so the parked CI drafts (`ci/*.yml`, `CI-BACKSTOP-NOTES.md`) were removed; recover them from git history
(the commit that deleted `security-review/ci/`) if the team ever goes multi-dev. The orchestrator repo's
own `ci.yaml` (ruff + tests) is unrelated and stays.
## Scanners
`review.sh` runs whatever is installed and logs the rest with install commands (no silent skips):
`semgrep` (`p/security-audit` + `p/secrets` + `p/javascript`), `gitleaks` (git-mode — scans committed
history, respects `.gitignore`), `checkov`, `cfn-lint`, `pip-audit`, `npm audit`. Each is normalized into
the finding schema. Install the full set:
```
pipx install semgrep pip-audit checkov # SAST / vulnerable Python deps / IaC misconfig
brew install gitleaks # hardcoded secrets
# cfn-lint via pip; Node.js provides npm audit
```
## Nightly sweep (Path B) — two-tier, clean-clone auto-discovery
`nightly_sweep.sh` runs on the `sh-secrev` Ubuntu VM (R720) and needs **no per-repo wiring**. It:
1. **Discovers** every non-archived Sea-Haven-Industries repo via the GitHub REST API (`curl` + a
read-only `GH_TOKEN`; no `gh` CLI dependency) and **mirrors** each as a shallow clean clone
(`git clone --depth=1`, default branch from the API) into `~/repo-mirrors`. Scanning server-side
clones — not developer working trees — structurally keeps local gitignored `.env` secrets out of scope.
2. **Tier 1 (every repo, every night, $0 Claude):** `review.sh --scanners-only` over every mirror —
complete deterministic baseline coverage.
3. **Tier 2 (bounded agentic):** `run_headless.py` over a deterministic **round-robin rotation** that
fits `TOTAL_BUDGET_USD`, with a persistent cycle pointer so every repo gets a deep pass within
`MAX_CYCLE_NIGHTS`. This bounds the draw on the shared Max limits (a clean night never deep-scans all
repos). A `COVERAGE ALARM` fires if the rotation falls behind.
It is **ALARM-only**: a clean night posts nothing. See memory `feedback_cloudwatch_alarms`.
### Skip / override
- A repo is skipped if it commits a `.security-review-skip` marker **or** is listed in the central skip
file (`~/.secrev-skip.txt`, one repo name per line). Repos skipped via their own committed marker are
**logged in the report** so a sensitive repo can't silently self-exclude.
- `TARGETS="/path/a /path/b"` overrides discovery entirely (scan explicit paths, no cloning).
- The canary corpus (`~/security-review-testbed`) is **always** scanned agentically first as the
anti-complacency check — independent of the skip filter.
### Anti-complacency + guards
- **Canary check:** the testbed MUST block AND surface ≥ `CANARY_FLOOR` (default 10) confirmed crit/high.
Otherwise → COMPLACENCY ALARM. The corpus now includes Node + .NET fixtures (see the testbed key);
re-tune the floor after the first VM canary run reports the expanded recall number.
- **Budget ceiling:** `TOTAL_BUDGET_USD` (default 120 — full deep-pass coverage of every repo per night) caps aggregate agentic spend; `PER_TARGET_BUDGET_USD`
(default 12) caps each repo; `MAX_AGENTIC_PER_NIGHT` (default 0 = unlimited) optionally caps wall-clock.
With the SDK-billing split deferred (memory `reference-claude-subscription-billing`), spend draws from
the Max subscription limits, so the two-tier design keeps full coverage cheap and bounds the agentic draw.
- **Two-model hook (optional, off):** `ENABLE_XMODEL_HOOK=1` re-checks each confirmed CRITICAL with the
orchestrator cross-family reviewer (GPT-4.1) and flags disagreement; skips gracefully, never fails the sweep.
- **Redaction:** secret-shaped values are masked in the Slack ALARM string; on-disk reports are mode 600.
### Secrets / env (`~/secrev.env`, mode 600)
- `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` — required (`run_headless.py` pops `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`).
- `GH_TOKEN` — **read-only fine-grained PAT** scoped to the org (Contents + Metadata: read-only, nothing
else) for discovery + cloning. Never give this unattended box a write-capable token.
- `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` — alarms (plain incoming-webhook). `~/orchestrator/.env` → `OPENAI_API_KEY` (xmodel hook only).
- Reports + per-target JSON land under `~/sweep-reports/<UTC-date>/`.
### Install the timer
Units are in `systemd/`; full runbook is `DEPLOY-R720.md`. On the VM:
```
sudo cp systemd/sea-haven-secrev.{service,timer} /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now sea-haven-secrev.timer # the timer drives it; do not enable the .service
sudo systemctl start sea-haven-secrev.service # optional one-off smoke test
```
The timer fires nightly at ~02:00 local (`Persistent=true` catches missed runs after downtime).
