# Agent environments from a live application
Use this when the user asks for an agent environment (an AgentEnv bundle) of a
web application: a folder `agent-env` deploys, whose MCP tools answer from what
one recording of the application observed and serve the writes that recording
confirmed. The workflow records the application once with
`capture_browser_scenario`, checks what the environment would serve, records
again if a hint names a gap, then writes the bundle with
`export_environment_bundle`. For a HAR the user already has, skip to
[export](#export-and-hand-off) through `inspect_web_network_capture`, or use
`rea environment-build <capture.har> <dir>`.
## Before recording
- Record only against an instance the user says is disposable or seeded for
this purpose: every write step creates, edits or deletes its data. If the
user has not said so, ask before any scenario that writes. REA does not
start, seed or reset applications.
- Credentials come from environment variables the user names. Declare each as a
scenario secret, `{secret_id, environment_variable}`; the variable must be set
in the environment REA's MCP server started with. Never ask for a password in
chat. Declared secrets are redacted as the capture records.
- Map the application first with `inspect_web_page` (and `capture_web_screenshot`
when layout matters): the login form's locators, and the API calls behind the
pages that list and edit the entities the user asked about.
## Record a session an environment can learn writes from
One `capture_browser_scenario` records the whole session. Start from this
shape, with the application's own locators, paths and headers:
```json
{
"browser": { "mode": "launch", "executable_path": "/usr/bin/chromium" },
"start_url": { "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3000/login" },
"secrets": [
{ "secret_id": "admin_password", "environment_variable": "APP_PASSWORD" }
],
"capture": {
"network": {
"request_body": true,
"response_body": true,
"header_values": true
}
},
"actions": [
{
"step_id": "user",
"action": "fill",
"timeout_ms": 15000,
"locator": { "kind": "css", "selector": "input[name=username]" },
"value": { "source": "literal", "value": "admin" }
},
{
"step_id": "password",
"action": "fill",
"timeout_ms": 15000,
"locator": { "kind": "css", "selector": "input[name=password]" },
"value": { "source": "secret", "secret_id": "admin_password" }

"action": "press",
"timeout_ms": 15000,
"locator": { "kind": "css", "selector": "input[name=password]" },
"key": "Enter"
},
{
"step_id": "signed-in",
"action": "wait_for",
"timeout_ms": 15000,
"locator": { "kind": "css", "selector": "nav a[href='/settings']" },
"state": "visible"
},
{
"step_id": "folders-1",
"action": "request",
"timeout_ms": 15000,
"method": "GET",
"path": "/api/folders",
"expected_status": [200]
},
{

"method": "POST",
"path": "/api/folders",
"json": { "title": "Scratch folder 1" },
"headers": [
{
"name": "X-CSRFToken",
"value": { "source": "cookie", "name": "csrftoken" }
}
],
"expected_status": [200, 201]
}
]
}
```
Give every step a `timeout_ms`. A step without one waits until the scenario
is cancelled, so a locator that never matches hangs the capture, and the
client with it. Match `wait_for` locators to exactly one element.
1. Sign in through the UI: `fill` the user and password fields (the password
as a secret reference), submit, then `wait_for` an element only a signed-in
user sees.
2. Read with `request` steps: each collection the environment needs, twice
before any write, so fields that change on their own show up; one item of
each.
3. Use `request` steps only when the API lets the caller choose each scratch
object's ID or a prior read already established it. Request paths are fixed
strings; no action substitutes a value from an earlier response. For
server-assigned IDs, create through the UI and open the new object's detail
view to record its read, edit and delete through UI actions. If that journey
cannot be scripted, leave the write unserved and report the limitation;
never guess an ID or create objects with no supported cleanup path.
Record two numbered scratch objects per write type,
with varied free text. After each write, and before the next one, read the
object back by id and then its list: create 1, read 1, list, create 2,
read 2, list; never several writes before their reads.
4. Leave more than a second between a create and its first edit
(`wait_for_timeout` with `duration_ms: 1100`).
5. Update both objects and read each back; delete both and read each back
(expect 404) and the list.
About `request` steps:
- `path` is on the start URL's origin; the page must be on that origin.
- Header values are literals, declared secrets, a cookie the browser holds
(`{source: "cookie", name}`), or a local storage entry
(`{source: "local_storage", key, json_pointer}`), with an optional
`prefix` such as `"Bearer "`. Copy the headers the application's own
requests send (a CSRF header, a bearer token). Values read from the page
are redacted from records made after they are read, not from the login
response that returned them, and values shorter than 8 characters are not
redacted at all.
- Reading a page value makes later bodies costlier to keep: after a CSRF
token, bodies over about 47 KiB are kept as `unavailable`. When the API
returns larger responses, raise `capture.limits`
(`max_network_body_allocation_bytes`, `max_total_event_allocation_bytes`).
- Request steps follow no redirects: a redirect fails the step, and
`expected_status` cannot name a 3xx status. Use the path the redirect names,
such as the one with the trailing slash.
- Set `expected_status` on every step, so a refused call fails its step and
the later steps report not having run, instead of recording read-backs of
nothing.
Keep it to about 60 to 160 requests. A scenario with no `request` step is
recorded exactly as before.
The capture returns its whole Evidence, every recorded body included, which is
often more than a client shows inline. Before checking coverage, confirm that
every entry of `normalized_result.steps` has `status: "completed"`; if the
client saved the result to a file, search it for `"status":"failed"` and read
that step's `error`. A failed sign-in or write cancels every step after it.
Use the result's `evidence_id` for coverage and export; do not paste the
Evidence back into another tool.
## Check coverage
`inspect_analysis_view` with `source: {kind: "retained-evidence",
evidence_id}` (the capture's id) and `view: {kind: "environment-coverage",
template_rules: ["after-uid-literal", "opaque-token", "sibling-variance",
"prefix-variance"]}`. It reports read tools
answered from the state or replayed (`reads.recorded_reasons`), the served write
tools, and each withheld write with its `reason` and `hint`. It does not apply
the serve-time catalog and state size checks; the export reports those.
Re-record a withheld write at most twice, and only for a recording gap. Stop at
once when the reason is application behaviour, and report the write as
withheld with its hint:
| Reason | What to do |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `no-state-target` | Re-record: read the collection or item the write changes. |
| `no-observation` | Re-record: read the entity back by id after the write; read it first for an update or delete. |
| `unconfirmed` | Re-record: read the entity and its list after the write. |
| `incomplete-entities` | Re-record: read the entity through every view that lists it. |
| `unexplained-change` | Re-record once with a second, different call of the same write. |
| `no-call` | Re-record once with a write that succeeds. |
| `side-effect` | Stop: the application changes other entities. |
| `contradicted` | Stop: a later read disagrees with the modelled effect. |
| `body-unusable` | Stop: the body is not a JSON object. |
Use new scratch names on each attempt; the first attempt's objects may still
exist.
New browser scenario captures include request times, so a fully timed capture
can learn a write clock and serve updates that stamp modification times. Older
captures or ones missing a request start keep record order and learn no clock.
When coverage reports that limitation, record again with the current version
before concluding that the timestamp change cannot be served.
## Export and hand off
`export_environment_bundle` with `source: {kind: "retained-evidence",
evidence_id}` (or `{kind: "evidence-file", path}`), an absolute
`output_directory` that does not exist yet and whose parent does, and a `name`
(required when the application runs on `localhost` or an IP address). It returns
the coverage again, `tool_count`, the written files and warnings; `dry_run:
true` reports without writing. The bundle installs `rea-agents` of this REA's
version from the registry; when the user runs an unreleased REA build, pass the
`package_tarball` they give you (a packed `rea-agents` tarball) instead.
Tell the user how many tools answer from the state, which writes are served and
which are withheld and why, and the run command (`agent-env run <folder>`). Say
that the bundle ships the recorded responses and the capture's local paths
(for a browser scenario, the browser executable's path), and
list any `credential-named-members` warning pointers for review. Never publish
or share the bundle yourself.

`rea environment-build <capture> [directory]` takes a `.har` file, or capture
Evidence JSON from `inspect-web-network-capture` (HAR) or
`capture-browser-scenario`, and writes the bundle
[Export a bundle](#export-a-bundle) describes. It inspects a HAR as
`inspect-web-network-capture` does (Evidence input skips this), projects the
environment manifest from that Evidence as retained Evidence, authenticates
the pair, prepares the state the bundle's server derives at startup, and
writes the bundle with the export. For the same capture path, every file it
writes is byte-identical to what `inspect-web-network-capture`,
`inspect-analysis-view` and `environment-export` write, Evidence ids included,
when `view.json` lists the same rules in the views' order and the export is
given the build's name. It reads one file and writes one folder: it fetches
nothing and launches no browser (HAR inspection runs REA's own decoder
process), so record a browser scenario with `capture-browser-scenario` first
and pass its Evidence. Other capture formats are refused, as the manifest view
refuses them, and a HAR document saved as `.json` is refused with a hint to
name it `.har`.
- `--template-rule <rule>`, repeated, replaces the default opt-in rules
`after-uid-literal`, `opaque-token`, `sibling-variance` and
`prefix-variance`, the rules the published capture-built environments use;
`--format-rules-only` applies none, the views' own default. Rules apply in
the views' fixed order, the report lists them, and a repeated rule is
refused as the views refuse it.
- `--name` names the env folder and env id. Without it the name is the
manifest's, unless the capture's origin is a loopback name or an IP literal:
the capture file then names it (`grafana.har` and `grafana.capture.json`
become `grafana`) and a `name-from-file` warning says so. A file name that
yields no portable label (kebab-case, at most 64 characters, not a Windows
device name) is refused; pass `--name`.
- `--package-tarball` works as for the export, and `--capture-timeout-ms`
as for `inspect-web-network-capture`.
- `--dry-run` runs every stage and prints the report with `status: "planned"`
and the files a build would write, but writes nothing and does not check the
directory, which may then be omitted. It reads and hashes a
`--package-tarball` as a build does before copying it, so it refuses the
tarballs a build refuses, including one whose contents cannot be read.
The directory must be absent or empty, as for the export; the build never
replaces a folder. A refusal before the write leaves nothing behind. A capture
Evidence file, an inspected HAR's Evidence and the projected manifest must each
fit the live heap headroom for parsing and sealing, checked before the file is
read or the Evidence serialized; one that does not is refused as
`resource_constraint`. Each
refusal names its stage: `environment-build` for the build's own checks,
`inspect_web_network_capture` and `inspect_analysis_view` for inspection and
projection, `environment-export` for the bundle. SIGINT cancels the build
(`cancelled`); before the bundle stage nothing is written, and a cancellation
during the write names the bundle it wrote. Stage progress is logged to stderr
at info level; the report is the only output on stdout:

`coverage` is the state's read views and write plans summarized, and `null`
when the state is unavailable and the bundle serves replay. The
[environment coverage](web-network-captures.md#environment-coverage) view
reports the same summary for any capture without building, so an agent can
check it after each recording. The view summarizes the state as derived; it
does not apply the serve-time admission checks, so for an environment whose
served catalog exceeds the discovery budget, or whose state exceeds what
`data/add` loads, it still reports the state while the build reports `coverage:
null` and the bundle serves replay. Each withheld write carries a hint about
what to record next; hints never change what is served:
| Reason | Hint |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `no-state-target` | The write's path names no collection or item the capture reads. Read the collection or item it changes. |
| `no-call` | No recorded call of this tool was modelled, for example because every call failed. Record a successful call. |
| `body-unusable` | The retained request or response cannot be modelled. Record a successful call with a complete supported request and reproducible response. |
| `no-observation` | Nothing showed the entity or document this write changed. Read a created entity back by id right after the write; for an update or delete the state must already hold the entity, so read it before the write or record the create that made it. |
| `unexplained-change` | The write changed fields it did not send, in a way no rule explains. A second, different call of the same tool can show the pattern. |
| `contradicted` | A later read disagreed with the modelled effect. Check the read at contradicted_by. |
| `side-effect` | The write changed something besides its own entity, which the environment does not model. |
| `unconfirmed` | No later read showed the effect. Read the entity and its list after the write. |
| `incomplete-entities` | The write is confirmed, but the views that show its entity cannot render it in full. Read the written entity through every view that lists it. |
The bundle ships `evidence.json`, the whole capture Evidence, response bodies
included. Inspection excludes the values of the standard authentication headers
(`Authorization`, `Cookie` and `Set-Cookie` among them) and URL userinfo; a
custom key header such as `X-Api-Key`, a token in the query string and tokens
an application returns in bodies remain. The environment views refuse captures
inspected with `--sensitive-value`, so scrub a capture before building it. The
report's `credential-named-members` warning counts recorded header names, query
parameter names and JSON or form body members whose names look like
credentials (whole name segments such as `token`, `secret`, `password`,
`api_key`, `authorization` or `session`) and hold a value, and lists the first
20 by record and pointer, never by value. A body is read as a form or as JSON by
its recorded media type, or by its shape when it has none or one naming
neither. A browser scenario is
scanned by event (`event 4 response /token` names
`normalized_result.events.items[4]`): every retained request and response
content event, including a response whose request began before the browser was
attached and a transaction no record represents, and each transaction URL's
query once. Bodies larger than 4 MiB of UTF-8 text are not
scanned; `credential-scan-incomplete` counts them and lists up to 20 record or
event pointers, including base64 bodies whose decoded scan was cut. An empty name
warning does not establish that these bodies were checked. Names do not establish sensitivity,
so the build never refuses on them. Capture
Evidence also records the capture file's absolute path (`subject.local_path`,
`parameters.capture_path`, `locations`, `artifact.path`), and the bundle
carries it: build from a neutral folder when that path should not ship.
Over MCP, `export_environment_bundle` builds the same bundle and returns the
same report. Its `source` is capture Evidence the session retained
(`{"kind": "retained-evidence", "evidence_id"}`), such as a
`capture_browser_scenario` or `inspect_web_network_capture` result, or a
capture Evidence file (`{"kind": "evidence-file", "path"}`); inspect a HAR with
`inspect_web_network_capture` first. Retained Evidence is written into the
bundle as `--format json` writes it, so the bundle is the one
`environment-build` writes from that file. `output_directory` must be an
absolute path that does not exist yet, whose parent does; the tool creates it
and refuses an existing directory, empty or not. `name`, `template_rules`,
`package_tarball` and `dry_run` work as `--name`, `--template-rule`,
`--package-tarball` and `--dry-run` do, and retained Evidence has no file to
name the environment after, so a loopback or IP origin needs `name`. Unlike
`--dry-run`, `dry_run` still checks `output_directory`. Destination refusals
name `export_environment_bundle`; the others name their stage as
`environment-build`'s do.
## From a browser scenario
@@ -308,51 +125,6 @@ the replayed body is the bytes the browser exposes for each response, with any
declared secret replaced by its redaction marker (a body that redaction had to
empty replays no body).
To record writes, sign in through the UI and then send the application's API
calls with [request steps](browser-scenario-contract.md#request-steps): each
sends one request to the start origin through the page's own `fetch`, with the
session's cookies, and a header can carry the CSRF cookie or stored token the
application's own requests send. A write is served only when the capture shows
its effect, so read each collection before writing, read every written entity
back by id and in its list right after the write, and leave more than a second
between a create and its first edit. A request step's path is fixed when the
scenario is written and cannot use a value an earlier response returned, so an
id must be known before the run: one the caller chooses, such as a `uid` in the
create body, or one an earlier scenario created. When the server assigns ids,
read the list after each create (the create's response or the list shows the
new entity), and record updates and deletes in a second scenario that reads
the first one's objects by id before editing them, or make them through the
UI. The environment coverage view names each
write it withholds and what to record next. A scenario with write requests
changes the application's data: record against an instance whose data may
change.
```json
{
"step_id": "create-folder-1",
"action": "request",
"method": "POST",

}
```
Each record takes its start and duration from the browser's timing (the time
the scenario observed the request where the browser reported no start), so the
state orders and overlaps
records as it does a HAR's and learns a write clock: an update the application
stamps with a modification time can be served. A scenario captured before
these times were recorded has none; its records keep request order and the
state learns no clock, so such updates stay `unexplained-change` until it is
recorded again.

are preserved when resolving component names and matching alias targets.
Whitespace in the manifest package is rejected by its separate package grammar.
Component permissions inherit the application
permission when no component permission is declared, except an activity alias
with no permission: Android documents that case as requiring no permission
through the alias. `permission_source` distinguishes a local declaration,
inherited value, no requirement (including an explicit empty override), and a
value omitted because its resource/manifest-placeholder token is unresolved
or the total permission-byte budget was reached. Resource and placeholder
references are not expanded at this parser boundary. Repeated inherited
values share one inventory-wide byte budget.
Provider `android:readPermission` and `android:writePermission` overrides are
not projected as separate fields; their presence marks the inventory partial
and is called out in `limitations`. Relative component names are not resolved
against a manifest package with surrounding whitespace.
Class-name segments follow DEX `SimpleName` characters, including a leading
digit or hyphen, rather than Java source identifier rules. Relative-name
expansion does not prove class existence, DEX-version compatibility or runtime
loadability. SDK defaults accept JADX's decimal and hexadecimal integer
spellings; the original SDK declaration strings remain unchanged.
`exported` is the declared literal `true` or `false`, otherwise null.
`exported_default` is the documented default only where it can be established;
it remains null for unknown provider target SDKs, nonliteral declarations, or
components with filters targeting API 31 or later that omit the now-required
explicit declaration. A limitation records the latter validation error.
Provider authorities and all inventory dimensions are bounded. `status:
"partial"` and `limitations` identify omitted declarations or values; a
capacity limitation appears only when an actual collection limit was reached.
The projection does not merge manifests, expand resource references, or
observe runtime enabled/export state.
The service `foreground_service_type` field preserves the declared attribute,
including an empty value or surrounding spaces; `null` means the attribute is
absent or the component is not a service. This field does not validate service
type tokens or establish runtime eligibility.

## Request steps
A `request` step sends one HTTP request from the page with the page's own
`fetch`, so the browser attaches the session's cookies and the request is
recorded in the step's network events like any request the application makes.
Use it to record an application's API, including writes, when driving the UI
for each call would be slower or less exact than calling the endpoint the UI
calls. It is the only action that changes application state without a user
gesture, so run scenarios with write requests only against an instance whose
data you may change. This scenario creates one item:
```json
{
"browser": {
"mode": "launch",

"expected_status": [201],
"timeout_ms": 10000
}
]
}
```
- `method` is `GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` or `DELETE`. `json` is the
body, sent with `Content-Type: application/json` unless a header sets one; a
`GET` or `HEAD` step cannot carry it.
- `path` starts with one `/` and must resolve to the start URL's origin, which
validation checks before the browser starts. When the step runs, the page must
be on that origin, checked again in the page as the request is sent; add a
`goto` step first if an earlier action left it. A query in `path` is sent as
written (a fragment is not sent), and `query` entries are appended after it
in order and may reference declared secrets.
- Request steps follow no redirects: a redirect answer fails the step, and
nothing is sent to the location it names, though a write the redirect
answered may already have been applied. `expected_status` cannot name a 3xx
status. Give the path the redirect names; with header values selected, the
capture records its `Location`.
- Header values are literals, declared secrets, a cookie the browser holds for
the request URL (`{"source": "cookie", "name"}`, HttpOnly cookies included,
whose value the page's scripts can then see while the request runs), or a
local storage entry on the start origin (`{"source": "local_storage",
"key"}`, with an optional `json_pointer` to a string or number in a stored
JSON value). `prefix` is sent before the value. A value read from the page is
redacted like a declared secret, as `[REDACTED:page:<step_id>.<header>]`,
from records made after the step reads it; a response recorded earlier, such
as the login response that returned a token, keeps the value. A value read
again keeps its first marker, and a value shorter than 8 characters is not
redacted, since redacting it would rewrite ids, ports and hosts throughout
the capture. A value is redacted as stored and as `fetch` sends it, without
surrounding spaces and tabs. A missing cookie, key or pointer fails the step.
Reading a page value raises the estimated cost of redacting every later
body, so the bodies kept within `max_network_body_allocation_bytes` (1 MiB
by default) get smaller: after a 32-character `X-CSRFToken` value, a body over
about 47 KiB is kept as `unavailable`. Raise `capture.limits` when the
application's responses are larger.
- Validation refuses a header name given twice in a step, header names a
page's `fetch` cannot set, such as `Cookie`, `Origin`, `Host` or `Sec-*`, and
`User-Agent`, which Chrome drops; it refuses line breaks and other ASCII
control characters in literal values and prefixes, and the step fails before sending
when a secret or page value holds them.
- The step completes when the whole response has been read. With
`expected_status`, any other status fails the step and the later actions are
recorded as `cancelled`; without it, any response completes the step. A
network error fails the step. `timeout_ms` covers reading the header values
and the request: a step whose time runs out, or that is cancelled, before
its request is sent sends nothing, but a request already sent can still reach
the application after the step fails.
An absolute deadline also covers browser evaluation queued behind page work.
A temporary route checks cancellation again at network dispatch and is removed
when the request evaluation settles. A page controlled by a service worker
is refused because its fetch can bypass that dispatch gate; use the default
blocked service-worker policy for request steps.
The request runs in the page's main world, so an application that wraps
`fetch` sees it, and it goes through the same network observation as other
page requests: select network content (bodies or header values) to record it.
Captures with request steps state in `limitations` that the steps sent their
declared requests through the page's fetch. A scenario without request steps
is unchanged.

# Analysis settings, limits, and recovery
# Admission limits and recovery
This guide explains the runtime settings design for maintainers and developers:
who owns each value, when an update takes effect, how providers enforce it, and
how to extend the system. The public tool contract is in
[MCP contracts](../mcp-contracts.md#editable-analysis-settings); recorded runtime
checks and their limitations are in the
[verification report](../verification/runtime-analysis-settings.md).
## Problem and design boundary
A valid workload can exceed a conservative default. An oversized ASAR header
may prevent analysis of the entire archive; a slow Ghidra function may exceed
its decompile deadline. Requiring a new REA process to change either budget
interrupts the investigation and can discard reusable provider state.
REA exposes a curated set of analysis defaults through MCP so callers can
adjust a reported limit and retry the same workload in the running runtime.
Each setting has a typed value, resource bounds, an enforcement owner, and a
defined application point. The design applies across archive admission,
provider startup, operation deadlines, and worker memory requests.
The setter changes in-memory defaults. It does not edit arbitrary environment
variables, configuration files, MCP registrations, or provider installations.
Those mechanisms have different owners and lifetimes. It also cannot change a
client deadline, extend accepted work, release retained resources, or remove a
fixed representation limit. Exposing a setting requires a working enforcement
path, not just an entry in the tool schema.
Further ceilings that should become settings are tracked in
How to add a REA-owned admission ceiling, budget, or deadline, and what a caller
does when one is hit. This is a design rule, not an inventory. Ceilings that
should become settings are tracked in
[#6176](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/6176). Naming honesty for limit
errors is [#5910](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/5910).
## Ownership and data flow
| Owner | Responsibility |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Domain definitions](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/domain/analysisSettingDefinitions.ts) and [types](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/domain/analysisSettings.ts) | Exact setting IDs, value types, shared bounds/defaults, units, provider/operation associations, application points, and structured limit metadata. Numeric constants stay with their domain owner. |
| [Launch parser](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/config/analysisSettings.ts) | Parse selected launch values once, preserving an invalid value as a typed configuration failure rather than substituting a default. |
| [AnalysisSettings](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/application/AnalysisSettings.ts) | Own one runtime's launch baseline, immutable override revisions, atomic updates, inspection, and accepted-operation snapshots. It does not own provider lifecycle or cleanup. |
| [Composition](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/main/eagerRuntime.ts) and [typed configuration views](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/config/runtimeAnalysisSettings.ts) | Inject the same settings reader into providers and workflows; translate overrides into the configuration each consumer understands. |
| Provider or resource owner | Resolve the effective budget, enforce it at the applicable boundary, and attach the actual value and known source to failures. |
| [MCP registration boundary](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/server/EvidenceMcpServerCore.ts) | Enter the operation's settings scope before invoking its handler. |
| [Settings contracts](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/contracts/analysisSettingsContracts.ts) and [tool registration](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/server/registerAnalysisSettingsTools.ts) | Validate named requests and deliver inspection/update results without requiring an open target or healthy analysis provider. |
The normal path is: composition creates the store, an MCP handler captures its
current revision, and providers read that snapshot when resolving budgets.
If an owner rejects work, it reports the effective limit through the shared
error projection. A subsequent settings update publishes a new revision for
later handlers. It does not reach into the failed operation or retry it.
### Accepted-operation snapshots
`AnalysisSettings.run()` installs the current immutable snapshot in
`AsyncLocalStorage`. Its `read` function returns that snapshot inside the
operation and the latest revision outside it. Providers depend on the reader
contract rather than on the mutable store or an ambient environment lookup.
Acceptance here is entry into the registered handler's settings scope, not
arrival of bytes at the MCP transport. Work queued or awaited within that scope
keeps its snapshot. Deferred server initialization must still dispatch through
the canonical scoped handler.
| Event | Revision used |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Operation A enters its handler, then waits for a provider | Current revision 0 |
| A settings update publishes revision 1 | Future handlers can read revision 1 |
| Operation A resumes and starts its worker | Its accepted revision 0 |
| Operation B enters its handler | Revision 1 |
This gives each operation stable budget semantics even if another connection
updates settings while it waits. `next_worker` and `next_startup` describe where
an accepted value is applied; they do not cause workers or startups belonging
to an older operation to adopt a newer revision.
Inspection deliberately reads the store's current defaults, rather than the
calling operation's snapshot. It reports `active_values.status: "not_observed"`:
an inspection result cannot establish the budget or remaining time of an
already-running worker.
### Composition and embedding
The MCP runtime creates one store and supplies its reader to provider factories.
`createServer` uses a supplied store or creates one, and wires its default
providers to that store. An embedder supplying a custom binary session or other
provider must also inject the same reader into that provider's composition and
pass the store to `createServer`. Merely exposing the settings tools cannot
make a custom provider consume updates.
Keep default factories, explicitly supplied providers, transport composition,
and deferred handler dispatch covered separately where their wiring differs.
Resolve settings at the operation boundary; copying a runtime value into a
provider constructor would freeze it at launch. For entrypoints outside the
MCP wrapper, an embedder needing the same snapshot guarantee must establish
the operation scope with `AnalysisSettings.run()`.
## Name a default, then a setting when operators need headroom
Put the number in a named constant with a unit. Do not leave it as a magic
number at the call site.
When a workload may need more room, add a setting whose unset value is that
constant. Pure numeric contracts live in `src/domain/analysisResourceLimits.ts`
or their existing domain owner. `analysisSettingDefinitions.ts` binds the
curated runtime IDs to those same bounds, defaults and application points.
Environment parsers and recovery text stay under `src/config/`; register launch
schemas on `environmentSchema` so startup and doctor agree. Add launch settings
to `SELECTED_REGISTRATION_SETTINGS` when setup should forward them. Unset keeps
today's behavior. An invalid launch value remains a configuration failure,
never a silent fallback; its validation boundary determines whether MCP can
start (see [invalid launch configuration](#invalid-launch-configuration)). An
invalid runtime write is `invalid_request` and changes nothing.
constant. One module under
[`src/config/`](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/config) owns the
default, any floor, the maximum, the schema, the parser, and the recovery
text. Register that schema on `environmentSchema` in
[`environment.ts`](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/config/environment.ts).
`parseConfig` calls `parseEnvironment`. Doctor uses that same parser through
`nativeAnalysisConfigurationError`, so startup and `rea doctor` accept the
same values. Add the name to `SELECTED_REGISTRATION_SETTINGS` so `rea setup`
copies it into the client registration. Unset keeps today's behavior. An
invalid value is a `ConfigurationError` and projects as `configuration_invalid`.
Do not fall back to the default.
For example, `regex.matching_deadline_ms` and its launch seed
`REA_REGEX_MATCHING_DEADLINE_MS` share a 5000 ms default, 1 ms floor and
2147483647 ms maximum. Node schedules a longer `setTimeout` delay as 1 ms.

## Runtime settings through MCP
`inspect_analysis_settings` lists the curated settings, their current and launch
values, source, bounds, application point and relevant operation names. Filters
by exact setting IDs, provider or operation intersect. Active worker values are explicitly `not_observed`; a configured default is
not a measurement of active work. Inspection also separates known server limits from unknown client deadlines and receive buffers.
`update_analysis_settings` accepts an atomic `changes` array. Each entry names
an exact `setting` and either `action: "set"` with a schema-validated `value`, or
`action: "reset"`. Reset restores the launch value. `expected_revision` is an
optional compare-and-set guard; conflicts and duplicate keys change nothing.
An unchanged write does not advance the revision.
The revision tracks override state, not only effective numeric values. Setting
an explicit override equal to the launch value still changes its source to
`runtime` and advances the revision. Reset removes that override, even if the
effective number stays the same. Validation, revision checks, and duplicate-key
checks all happen before publishing the replacement snapshot; a rejected batch
cannot partially apply. Clients coordinating writes can supply
`expected_revision`; without it, valid updates apply to the current state.

### Precedence and lifetime
Where a setting supports an explicit per-call argument, precedence is:
1. The caller's explicit argument.
2. The accepted operation's runtime override.
3. Valid launch configuration, where that setting has an environment seed.
4. The built-in default when launch configuration is absent.
An invalid launch value does not fall through to the built-in default. Preserve
omitted caller arguments in Evidence: resolving an internal default must not
rewrite the request as though the caller supplied it. `null` is the explicit
unbounded value for `ghidra.decompile_timeout_seconds`; it is not a substitute
for an unknown or omitted value elsewhere.
A write does not extend active work, relaunch a provider, clear retained
cleanup, or invalidate successful Evidence.
Overrides belong to one REA runtime, survive target close/open, and disappear
when REA exits. Connections sharing that runtime share its overrides. No files,
ambient environment, registrations or upstream software are edited. Overrides
are runtime-wide, not scoped to a target or an individual connection.
### Failure and retry
An ASAR admission error supplies `details.limit` with the exact setting,
effective value, units, bounds, scope, application point, restart requirement
and, when known, required bytes and value source. The agent can immediately call:
```json
{
"changes": [
{ "setting": "asar.max_header_bytes", "action": "set", "value": 33554432 }
]
}
```
Then retry the same full-archive request once work and cleanup have settled.
No preliminary inspection or source subset is required. The setter does not
retry automatically. If an explicit per-call value caused the failure, correct
that argument; raising a runtime default cannot override it.
The resource owner constructs `details.limit` from the registry plus the budget
it actually enforced. Metadata includes `agent_editable: true`,
`scope: "rea-runtime"`, and `rea_restart_required: false`. Optional
`required_value`, `source`, and `parameter` fields are supplied only where known
or applicable. Do not infer a source because a value happens to equal a default.
Error copying, attribution, redaction, and delivery must preserve these facts.
Human-readable remediation explains the same failure; clients should not need
to parse that sentence to identify an editable setting.
Cache policy is part of enforcement. Successful reusable analysis can survive
a budget update. Transient Ghidra decompile failures remain uncached so a raised
deadline can recover on the same Program. Admission checks still apply to reused
data: lowering an ASAR limit must reject a cached oversized header. Neither
raising a limit nor clearing a transient analysis failure authorizes skipping
cleanup or changing the identity of the provider session.
### Invalid launch configuration
Launch validation has two relevant boundaries. Settings validated by global
configuration parsing can prevent REA from starting; an MCP setter cannot
repair a server that is not running. Correct the launch environment or
registration, use `rea doctor` for its configuration checks, and start REA again.
Provider-local validation can leave MCP available. For example, an invalid
`REA_JADX_OPERATION_TIMEOUT_MS` is inspectable with `source: "invalid"`, a
`configuration_error`, and omitted `value` and `launch_value`. A valid runtime
override repairs the effective JADX timeout without editing that launch seed.
Inspection then reports the runtime value while retaining the launch error.
Reset exposes the invalid launch state again; it does not repair or replace it
with the built-in default. Provider availability and execution must resolve the
same effective setting so readiness changes along with repair and reset.
## Keep a fixed ceiling honest
Inspection's separate
[constraints](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/server/analysisSettingsConstraints.ts)
describe operator-owned, external, and fixed controls. REA can report its
configured response budget and parent heap limit; client deadlines and receive
buffers remain explicitly unknown. These are not entries accepted by the
runtime setter. Raising a worker heap request cannot raise the parent heap,
and raising a provider deadline cannot make the client wait longer.
If the ceiling must stay fixed, say so in the failure. Name the limit and the
effective value, say this release has no runtime override, and name what does
not raise it. Do not invent a setting.

A restart is required for an environment setting and for a client still

MCP drop, a capacity wait, or retained cleanup.
## Adding a runtime setting
## Tests
1. Identify the enforcing owner and the real resource constraint. Decide whether
callers need a per-call argument, a runtime default, a launch-only control,
or a fixed limit. A registry entry must not advertise authority REA lacks.
2. Define the value type and named numeric bounds with the domain owner. Add the
ID and metadata to `analysisSettings.ts` and `analysisSettingDefinitions.ts`.
Reuse those bounds in runtime validation, launch parsing, and error metadata.
Choose the application point and provider/operation associations from actual
consumers; a shared control need not apply to every provider.
3. If there is a launch seed, add its parser and appropriate configuration/doctor
validation. Decide whether an invalid value blocks the runtime or only the
provider. Add it to setup's `SELECTED_REGISTRATION_SETTINGS` when it should
be forwarded; runtime editability does not automatically propagate it.
4. Thread the shared reader through every applicable composition path. Resolve
the effective value within the accepted operation, honor explicit arguments,
and preserve their omission in Evidence. Keep availability checks consistent
with execution. A worker heap request must not be described as a measured
process memory limit.
5. Enforce the value at its resource boundary and construct structured limit
facts there. Preserve those facts through shared error projection and copies.
Check cache reuse, lowered admission, transient failures, and retained cleanup
against the same ownership rules.
6. Update the public contracts and affected guides, then regenerate catalogs
and packaged skill metadata using the repository commands. Keep externally
owned and fixed controls in the separate inspection constraints, not in the
editable registry. Validate both store semantics and a public recovery path.
## Tests and verification
Cover the unset default, accepted overrides, rejected floor/maximum values,
and invalid syntax through the owning parser and configuration boundary.
Lock the unset default, one accepted override, rejected floor, maximum, and
syntax, and the recovery sentence through `parseEnvironment` and `parseConfig`.
[`regexMatchingDeadline.test.ts`](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/config/regexMatchingDeadline.test.ts)
is one example. Assert error codes, setting IDs, values, units, provenance,
application points, and resulting behavior. Check that adapters deliver the
canonical recovery guidance, with independent assertions for its underlying
facts. Avoid freezing prose or deriving all expected values from the same
registry used by the implementation; either can hide the wrong failure.
See [test design](../testing.md#test-design-and-pruning) for the assertion policy.
Runtime checks cover atomic validation, stale writes, reset, runtime isolation,
accepted-operation snapshots, and explicit argument precedence. Public MCP
acceptance must reject an oversized ASAR, raise admission, and successfully
retry the same complete archive on the same connection. Lowering admission must
also refuse previously cached headers. The real Ghidra timeout verifier checks
recovery after a live update without replacing its session. Also cover invalid
provider-local launch configuration, repair/reset availability, default and
custom composition paths, and preservation of structured limits through error
copies. Gates used to overlap work and updates need bounded acknowledgements
and release/join in `finally`.
The [verification report](../verification/runtime-analysis-settings.md) separates
public MCP checks, simulated provider coverage, real Ghidra execution, and
measured task costs. It does not establish real-provider behavior for every
editable setting or active worker telemetry.

# Flattened devicetree inspection
`inspect_devicetree` / `rea inspect-devicetree` reads a local DTB without an
engine, target execution or external tools. It supports FDT versions 16 and 17;
other versions return `unsupported_target`. Corrupt recognized blobs return
`invalid_request`, and exhausted budgets return `resource_constraint` without
partial success.
```bash
rea inspect-devicetree /artifacts/board.dtb --json
rea inspect-devicetree /artifacts/board.dtb --detail summary --evidence_output /artifacts/board-evidence.json --json
```
The complete Evidence includes the artifact SHA-256, validated header fields,
64-bit memory reservations as exact hexadecimal strings, and a flat node tree
with explicit parent paths. Each property retains its file offset, byte length,
and up to 256 raw bytes as hex. `truncated` qualifies the preview only; parsing
coverage includes the entire declared tree. Version 16 has no declared structure
size, so `header.size_dt_struct` is null.
Derived fields carry `confidence: derived`: standard ASCII string lists, scalar
phandles and cell counts, and `reg` tuples using the parent's `#address-cells`
and `#size-cells` (defaults 2 and 1). Zero-cell components are null (omitted), distinct from an encoded zero. Cell
counts above four, invalid counts and incomplete tuples remain undecoded with a
limitation. Addresses are bus-local; no `ranges` translation is attempted.
Invalid or ambiguous strings remain raw, rather than being guessed.
The summary is labeled derived and includes root compatible/model, chosen
bootargs/stdout-path and aliases. An undecodable alias retains its name with a
null path; it is not silently treated as absent. Single-cell `interrupt-parent`, `remote-endpoint` and `msi-parent`
references resolve through phandle declarations. Missing or duplicate targets
have null target paths. A node whose `phandle` and `linux,phandle` disagree
adds a limitation, and references to either value stay unresolved. A present
`phandle` that is not one cell also adds a limitation; `linux,phandle` cannot
resolve that node when the canonical declaration is malformed. Binding-specific
reference arrays and overlays are not resolved; an empty reference list does not
prove absence of hardware links.
MCP `detail: summary` retains complete Evidence in the session. Follow its
`parent_evidence_id` with `inspect_analysis_view`:
```json

"limit": 32
}
}
```
Collections are `nodes` (identity and property counts), `properties` (requires an
exact node path), `reservations`, and `references`. Pages use retained parsed
facts and do not reopen the file. Each page carries fixed-size context
(artifact, header, coverage and counts) rather than the summary strings, so a
large `bootargs` value does not repeat on every page. Source indices are scoped to the selected
collection and parent Evidence; property indices are scoped to their node.

## Verification
Synthetic tests cover v16/v17, malformed headers/blocks/names/tokens, resource
limits, derived values, and CLI/MCP delivery including retained pages after
removing the input. The optional real lane requires **dtc 1.8.1**:
```bash
npm run build:cached
node scripts/verify/firmware/devicetree.mjs
```
It compiles a DTS with reserved-memory, chosen, aliases and phandles, compares
REA's node paths against `dtc -I dtb -O dts`, and checks the derived report.
`REA_DTC_PATH` selects the verification executable; it is not runtime setup.
The dtc 1.8.1 lane ran on macOS arm64 with Node 26.5.0. Its seven node paths
matched the decompiled tree. The report included `model: "REA DTB verification"`,
`bootargs: "console=ttyS0"`, alias `serial0 -> /serial@1000`, reservation
`0x80000000 + 0x1000`, and a resolved reference from `/consumer` to
`/serial@1000`. The deliberately minimal remote-endpoint fixture produces dtc
graph-binding warnings; this lane verifies FDT structure and selected property
derivations, not hardware-binding validity.
A repeat run of that complete compile/decompile/CLI verification took 2.13 s
elapsed, 1.52 s user CPU and 0.27 s system CPU under `/usr/bin/time -l`. This is a
small fixture with warm filesystem caches, not a cold-start or large-board
benchmark. Peak process-family memory and whole-workflow token usage were not
measured; the sandbox denied the memory-reporting system query. No pre-feature
equivalent REA workflow exists for comparison. The pinned Node 24.22.1/npm
11.16.0 toolchain was unavailable; dependency installation used the local cache
with Node 26.5.0/npm 12.2.0 instead.

# GameCube DOL analysis through Ghidra
This lane imports 32-bit big-endian PowerPC GameCube/Wii DOL images through
Ghidra. It does not execute the image. DOL is a headerless format with no magic
number, so REA never detects it: the caller must select it explicitly.
Only the cached MEM1 window `0x80000000..0x81800000` is admitted. Wii MEM2
and uncached aliases are outside this lane.
Not covered: small-data anchors (`r2`/`r13`), REL, RPX, and IDA or Hopper
support. See [Not supported yet](#not-supported-yet).
## Select the format
CLI:
```bash
rea inspect /absolute/path/to/main.dol --target-format gamecube-dol --provider ghidra --json
rea function /absolute/path/to/main.dol 0x80003130 --target-format gamecube-dol --provider ghidra --json
```
MCP, with the existing `open_binary` tool:
```json
{
"path": "/absolute/path/to/main.dol",
"provider_id": "ghidra",
"format": "gamecube-dol"
}
```
The architecture comes from the DOL header (`powerpc`). Do not pass
`architecture` with `gamecube-dol`; it is rejected. `entry_point` is optional,
and if given it must equal the header entry.
Omitting `format` never imports a file as a DOL. Detection does not run for DOL.
## What the import does
REA reads the 256-byte DOL header at admission. It checks every section's file
range and load address. It records BSS/data overlaps and computes the exact
uninitialized BSS gaps once. Malformed headers are refused before Ghidra starts.
Ghidra then runs in two steps:
1. The standard `BinaryLoader` maps the whole file at base `0x0`, with
`-processor` and `-cspec` taken from the language selection below.
2. The pre-script `bridge/ghidra/ReaGhidraPrepareDol.java` reads a section file
that REA wrote from the parsed header, with versioned collection counts. It creates one initialized block per
used text and data section at its load address, with file bytes from the
section's file offset. The whole-file block is removed before the section
blocks are created. Text is read-execute and data is read-write. It sets the
entry point and labels the entry
`__start`.
Sections that the header marks unused are not mapped. The 256-byte header and
any bytes between sections are not mapped either.
## BSS
A DOL has one BSS range, and it is not always disjoint from the data sections.
The domain parser computes the parts of BSS that no data section covers. Both
the pre-script and load-image attestation consume those parsed ranges. The
pre-script creates uninitialized read-write blocks only in those gaps. Where BSS overlaps a data slot, that slot
keeps its file bytes. Overlapping slot indexes are reported by the parser.
## Bound language
The default language is `PowerPC:BE:32:default` with compiler spec `default`,
which ships with Ghidra. The load-image attestation checks the language Ghidra
reports, not only the requested one.
### Optional Gekko/Broadway override
`REA_GHIDRA_LANGUAGE_ID=PowerPC:BE:32:Gekko_Broadway` selects the Gekko/Broadway
variant. The language is not in stock Ghidra. It comes from the GameCubeLoader
extension, by Cuyler, licensed under Apache-2.0. The extension ships
`ppc_gekko_broadway.ldefs` under its `data/languages` directory and must be
installed in the Ghidra installation's `Ghidra/Extensions` directory. The stock
lane never requires it.
Any other language id must start with `PowerPC:BE:32:`. Other languages are
refused with a specific constraint.
## Paired-single limitation
The stock `PowerPC:BE:32:default` language does not decode the paired-single
instructions that Gekko and Broadway add. Those words decode as bad or undefined
instructions. Use the Gekko override to decode them.
## Verification
The source-owned fixture is built from `tests/conformance/c/ppc.c`,
`tests/conformance/c/dol.c`, `tests/conformance/ghidra/ppc-probe.S` and the
linker script `tests/conformance/ghidra/dol-fixture.ld`. It is converted to a DOL
by `tests/conformance/ghidra/dol-fixture.mjs`. Its text is at `0x80003100`, and
its single BSS range overlaps data slot 1 and leaves a gap. The fixture is
never executed. The real GameCube or Wii game images are never used.
```bash
GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=/absolute/path/to/ghidra npm run verify:ghidra:dol
```
The lane needs the same toolchain as the PowerPC ELF lane: `REA_PPC_CLANG`,
`REA_PPC_READELF` and LLD. An independent DOL header reader and GNU readelf
(run on the source ELF) check the section table, file bytes, entry and BSS gap
before Ghidra starts. The checks never use REA's parser.
After import, the lane checks the load-image attestation (`verified`), the
bound language, the `__start` entry procedure, a direct call to the leaf
function, decompilation, and bytes at the data, tail, marker and BSS-gap
addresses. It also checks CLI identity.
The Gekko pass runs only when `PowerPC:BE:32:Gekko_Broadway` is in the Ghidra
installation's language catalog, the same catalog REA uses to admit
`REA_GHIDRA_LANGUAGE_ID`. A language that exists only in a user extension under
`~/Library/ghidra` is not admitted, so the lane prints
`skipped: PowerPC:BE:32:Gekko_Broadway (not in the Ghidra installation catalog that REA admits); stock lane still verified`
and still succeeds on the stock checks.
The ELF lane (`npm run verify:ghidra:ppc`) is separate. See
[PowerPC ELF analysis through Ghidra](/ghidra-ppc).
## Not supported yet

# Linux kernel modules
`inspect_kernel_module` / `inspect-kernel-module` reads metadata from one
selected local ELF32/ELF64 relocatable object (`.ko`) without executing it.
That metadata is the `.modinfo` key/value strings, the `__versions` symbol
CRCs, the presence of `.gnu.linkonce.this_module` and `__ksymtab*` sections,
the observed file sizes of `.init.text` and `.exit.text`, and an optional
appended signature trailer. It does not require a Linux host or the `modinfo`
program.
```bash
rea inspect-kernel-module /absolute/path/to/module.ko --json
```
The CLI resolves relative paths against the caller's working directory. MCP
requires an absolute filesystem path and preserves that exact selection:
```json
{
"name": "inspect_kernel_module",
"arguments": { "path": "/artifacts/demo.ko" }
}
```
## Observations
The inline Evidence result contains the artifact path, SHA-256, and byte
length. `applicability` is `applicable` only for `ET_REL`. Other ELF types are
`not_applicable`: header facts are filled and `.modinfo`, `__versions`, and
the signature trailer are not examined.
`.modinfo` entries stay in file order. Duplicate keys such as `alias` and
`parm` are preserved. Each entry keeps its key, value, file range, and
SHA-256. Values are the bytes after the first `=`. NUL padding between
strings is skipped. Keys and values use a byte-preserving Latin1 projection:
each source byte becomes the same-numbered Unicode code point. They are not
decoded as UTF-8. `raw_sha256` hashes the original entry bytes, including its
terminating NUL when present; `raw_hex` shows those bytes when they fit the
inline limit.
`__versions` entries are `struct modversion_info`: a 64-byte record whose CRC
is an `unsigned long` and whose name occupies the remaining bytes. ELF32
stores a 32-bit CRC and a 60-byte name. ELF64 stores a 64-bit unsigned long
and a 56-byte name. CRCs are zero-padded lowercase hex, 8 or 16 characters,
not a JavaScript number. The layout is reported from the ELF class even when
the section is absent. Names use the same byte-preserving Latin1 projection
as `.modinfo` keys and values. Only this classic `__versions` layout is
decoded. `versions.status: "absent"` means no `__versions` section was found
when section names were complete; it does not establish the absence of version
metadata in `__version_ext_names` and `__version_ext_crcs`, which Linux uses
with `CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS` and this workflow does not decode.
`.gnu.linkonce.this_module` is reported as present, absent, or unknown.
`layout` is always `unknown` because `struct module` changes with the kernel
version and is not decoded. File-backed `__ksymtab*` sections are listed in
section-header order by name and file range; their records are not decoded.
Sections that are `SHT_NOBITS` or leave the file are counted in one limitation
without their names. `.init.text` and `.exit.text` report the
observed file-backed size. A compressed payload reports the stored size and a
limitation that the decoded size is unknown.
The signature trailer is the 27-byte magic `~Module signature appended~\n`
preceded by a 12-byte `module_signature` (`algo`, `hash`, `id_type`,
`signer_len`, `key_id_len`, three pad bytes, and big-endian `sig_len`). When
those parameter fields are zero and `id_type` is PKCS#7 (`2`), the preceding
`sig_len` bytes are the PKCS#7 range and its SHA-256. The range is not parsed
and no certificate, signer, or digest-coverage claim is made. An absent
trailer is observed absence, not proof the module is unsigned.
When section names are incomplete, a missing named section is `unknown`
rather than `absent`. An empty file-backed section is present and empty.
## Limits and failures
The selected file is limited to 64 MiB by default (512 MiB maximum). At most
8192 `.modinfo` and `__versions` entries plus listed `__ksymtab*` sections are
examined by default (65536 maximum); `coverage.examined_entries` counts all
three. Exceeding that budget fails with no partial success. Keys longer
than 256 bytes and values longer than 4096 bytes stay malformed per entry;
the field that fits is still copied. A `__ksymtab*` section name longer than
256 bytes keeps its range with `name: null` and `ksymtab_name_exceeds_limit`. Inline raw hex stops at 4096 bytes and
the SHA-256 remains.
A `.modinfo` span with no trailing NUL is `unterminated_modinfo_entry` and
earlier entries are kept. A string with no `=` is `modinfo_missing_separator`.
An empty key is `modinfo_empty_key`. A `__versions` name with no NUL is
`version_name_unterminated`. A `__versions` section whose size is not a
multiple of 64 bytes is closed with `versions_size_not_multiple` and no
entries. `SHT_NOBITS` or a declared range that leaves the file is
`modinfo_section_not_file_backed` or `versions_section_not_file_backed`.
`SHF_COMPRESSED` payloads are not inflated
(`modinfo_section_compressed`, `versions_section_compressed`).
An appended magic with fewer than 12 preceding bytes is
`signature_trailer_truncated`. A `sig_len` that does not leave at least one
module byte is `signature_length_inconsistent`. Nonzero `algo`, `hash`,
signer, key-id, or pad fields for PKCS#7 are `signature_parameters_nonzero`.
A parameter block whose `id_type` is not PKCS#7 is
`signature_id_type_not_pkcs7` and is unsupported rather than a validated
signature.
gzip (`1f 8b`), xz (`fd 37 7a 58 5a 00`), and zstd (`28 b5 2f fd`) whole-file
containers are `unsupported`. The result names `external_decompression` as the
next probe and does not claim the payload is a kernel module. This is an external
step, not a REA operation: neither this tool nor `extract_artifact` decodes these
containers. Use an external gzip, xz, or zstd utility to decompress into a separate
file, then call `inspect_kernel_module` on that file to inspect the `ET_REL` image.
Malformed ELF headers return no partial kernel-module metadata. This workflow
does not execute the module or validate an appended signature.

# Node.js single executable applications
REA inventories injected Node.js SEA blobs through `inspect-artifact` /
`inspect_artifact` and materializes their contents through `extract-artifact` /
`extract_artifact`. It never runs the application or deserializes V8 snapshots
or code cache.
```sh
rea inspect-artifact ./application --json
rea inspect-artifact ./application --detail summary --evidence_output evidence.json --json
rea extract-artifact ./application --json
```
For MCP, open the carrier with `open_binary`, then call `inspect_artifact`.
Summary delivery retains the complete Evidence: use `parent_evidence_id` with
`inspect_analysis_view` to request particular inventory paths and fields.
Extraction returns a fresh `output_root`; analyze that extracted directory with
`analyze_javascript_application`. Snapshot-only applications have no recovered
main script and receive no JavaScript next probe. Neither does a main script
whose logical path lacks a JavaScript source suffix, such as `main`, because the
analyzer selects extracted files by suffix.
## Recognition and evidence
The container format is `node-sea`. REA locates Mach-O sections named
`__NODE_SEA_BLOB` in `NODE_SEA` or `__NODE_SEA`, ELF notes owned by
`NODE_SEA_BLOB`, and PE RCDATA resources named `NODE_SEA_BLOB`. PE resource
locations come from the shared PE resource parser. ELF program-header
`PT_NOTE` segments are authoritative, as at runtime; `SHT_NOTE` sections are
read only when no program-header table is readable, because injectors can
leave stale section entries. A PE without a `NODE_SEA_BLOB` resource name is
left to native classification. Universal Mach-O carriers
with different slice blobs are rejected as ambiguous; identical blobs are
inventoried once. Native carrier bytes keep their content hash and native
classification while the root occurrence represents the SEA container.
Root `format_metadata` preserves raw flags, decoded flags, code path, blob
location, exec arguments and fuse observations. Main and asset children retain
their role and exact declared name in `source_path`. Safe, noncolliding names
become logical paths after the shared NFC path normalization. Names that are
unsafe as relative paths, have an exact or file-prefix collision with another
entry, or occupy the reserved `__node_sea__`
namespace receive deterministic logical paths: `__node_sea__/main.cjs` for the
main CommonJS source and `__node_sea__/assets/<ordinal>` for assets, using their
zero-based order in the blob. The original declared name remains
in `source_path`, including an empty asset key. Snapshots and code caches use
`__node_sea__/snapshot` and `__node_sea__/code-cache`. Extraction materializes
the logical paths through the shared path-containment and collision rules and
never overwrites existing files.
The fuse scan independently records `set`, `unset`, `absent`, or `conflicting`.
An unset fuse with a present blob is reported as a limitation. These are static
sentinel observations, not proof of runtime activation: sentinel-like text in
script or asset bytes also participates in the scan.
## Supported layout and limits
The decoder follows the 64-bit little-endian layout in Node
[v24.10.0 node_sea.cc](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v24.10.0/src/node_sea.cc)
and [node_sea.h](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v24.10.0/src/node_sea.h),
including the exec-argument extension byte. Older layouts without that byte,
32-bit length fields, big-endian blobs and future flags are not supported.
Carrier byte order is independent of blob byte order.
Malformed magic, truncation, unknown flags/extensions, invalid UTF-8, duplicate
raw asset keys and conflicting blob declarations fail closed with named reasons.
Zero padding after a complete blob is allowed. The blob read ceiling is 256 MiB;
PE carriers also use the shared 512 MiB input, 65,536 directory-entry and 8 MiB
resource-metadata ceilings. The decoder admits at most 100,000 assets whose
names total at most 8 MiB, and 4,096 exec arguments totaling at most 1 MiB of
text. These are fixed resource bounds, not Node format limits, checked before
decoding names or creating records; a hit fails as a limit with no runtime
override. Asset and argument decoding, padding scans, and inventory construction
yield in bounded batches and honor caller cancellation. Asset count and name
budgets bound retained metadata independently of stored member body sizes. The PE
name probe reads headers from the first 64 KiB of the carrier; a PE whose
headers extend beyond that is left to native classification. Snapshot and
code-cache bytes remain opaque.
## Verification
Synthetic fixtures cover Mach-O, ELF and PE inventory/extraction, malformed
blobs, collisions and fuse contradictions. CLI and MCP tests exercise the same
artifact provider and advertised schemas. A CLI regression also generates a blob
with the pinned local Node version, an absolute main path and an empty asset
key, then inventories it inside a synthetic ELF carrier. This verifies the real
blob producer, not a real injected executable.
The optional real ELF lane uses Docker's official Node v24.10.0 image and pinned
postject to build a fixture, then verifies inventory and extracted script/asset
bytes without running the injected application:
```sh
npm run verify:node-sea
```
This requires Docker and network access to fetch the producer image and
postject. It creates and removes its own temporary fixture directory. A real
macOS Mach-O or Windows PE run is separate coverage; synthetic carriers do not
establish real-platform verification. No performance improvement is claimed;
whole-task tokens, CPU, memory, and cold/warm timings have not been measured.

# PE TLS callbacks and load configuration
Use `inspect_pe_load_config` to locate declared TLS callbacks and inspect the load
configuration of an explicit local PE32 or PE32+ image. No disassembler, Windows
host, or target execution is required.
```sh
rea inspect-pe-load-config /absolute/path/to/application.exe --json
rea inspect-pe-load-config /absolute/path/to/application.exe --max-callbacks 256 --json
```
MCP accepts `{ "path": "/absolute/path/to/application.exe" }`. CLI paths may be
relative to the current directory; MCP paths must be absolute.
The complete Evidence includes the artifact path, SHA-256, directory file ranges,
and callback-array file ranges. `tls` reports the raw data range, index address,
zero-fill size, characteristics and null-terminated callback array. Callback VAs
are hexadecimal strings to preserve 64-bit precision. RVA, mapped file offset,
and section are derived locations; unknown mappings are `null`.
`load_config` reports fields only when its declared `Size` covers the entire
field. MSVC x86 images often declare a 64-byte load-config data directory while
the structure's own `Size` is larger; like the Windows loader, REA reads `Size`
bytes when they are file-backed in one run, and reports both
`directory.size` and `size`. `structure_location` is the file range of the
`Size` bytes REA checked; Evidence locations include it beside the declared
directory range when the two differ. Unavailable fields are `null`; a covered zero pointer remains `"0x0"`.
The report includes the security cookie, PE32 SafeSEH table/count, CFG pointers
and table/count, address-taken IAT and long-jump tables/counts, EH continuation
table/count, and XFG check pointer. CHPE and dynamic relocation pointers are raw
values. The dynamic relocation table offset (DWORD) and section (WORD) are
reported separately when `Size` covers them, including zero values; REA does
not infer a VA from that pair or decode the target and mitigation-table entries.
Guard flags retain the raw DWORD, recognized names, unknown bits, and the CFG
entry stride. Mitigation claims derived from those flags carry
`evidence_kind: "inferred"`; they do not prove runtime enforcement. The image is
never executed. Missing directories are observed absence of those declarations,
not proof that no callback or mitigation exists by another mechanism.
The default read budget is 64 MiB (`max_file_bytes`, ceiling 512 MiB). The default
callback budget is 64 (`max_callbacks`, ceiling 4096). An exact-budget array is
accepted if its next slot is null. Truncated, ambiguous or unmapped directory and
callback-array storage fails closed, as does budget exhaustion; no partial
success is returned. An unmapped callback **target** retains its VA/RVA with an
unknown file offset. Load-config versions beyond the supported fields remain
undecoded.

Ai văzut într-o aplicație o funcționalitate pe care ai vrea să o incluzi în propriul produs? Cere-i agentului tău să o investigheze cu REA. Poate inspecta aplicația fără codul ei sursă, poate explica modul în care funcționează acea funcționalitate, poate prezenta dovezile și poate construi o variantă pentru proiectul tău.
REA conectează agentul tău la unelte pentru inspectarea fișierelor binare native, a aplicațiilor JavaScript și Electron, a ansamblurilor .NET și a site-urilor web. Poți folosi aceleași unelte și din terminal. Analiza rulează local, iar rezultatele includ dovezile și limitările care stau la baza fiecărei concluzii.
Programul de configurare înregistrează REA în agentul tău și instalează instrucțiunile corespunzătoare pentru fluxul de lucru. Analiza nativă poate folosi o instalare existentă de Hopper, Ghidra sau IDA; programul de configurare poate instala opțional Hopper, cu aprobarea ta. Analiza statică JavaScript nu necesită un motor de analiză nativă.
> **[Vizitează site-ul REA](https://rea.tools/)** pentru instrucțiuni de configurare, ghiduri ilustrate și studii de caz reale.
## Pornire rapidă
Pe Linux, pornirea Ghidra, JADX și a uneltelor pentru firmware, precum și analiza
statică JavaScript/Electron necesită un `ps` compatibil cu procps în `PATH`-ul REA,
pentru a verifica dacă procesele îi aparțin. Pașii de remediere sunt în
`docs/installation.md`, la secțiunea „Linux owned-process prerequisite”.
### Configurează agentul
Cu Node.js și npm instalate, rulează:
```bash
npx rea-agents setup
```
Alege agenții, verifică modificările propuse și aprobă-le. Configurarea adaugă
serverul MCP REA și instrucțiunile corespunzătoare pentru fluxul de lucru,
creând copii de siguranță ale configurației existente. Repornește apoi agentul.
Programul de configurare acceptă Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build și
[alți agenți](../installation.md#supported-agents). Consultă
[instalarea și configurarea](../installation.md) pentru configurarea motoarelor
de analiză și înregistrarea manuală a serverului MCP.
MCP folosește implicit scheme de intrare compacte, pentru a reduce spațiul ocupat
în context. Setează `REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full` în înregistrarea MCP când
ai nevoie de îndrumările complete pentru câmpurile expuse și de detaliile
validării structurilor imbricate. Ambele profiluri păstrează toate uneltele și
validarea canonică a serverului. Consultă secțiunea „Compact input schema profile”
din ghidul contractelor MCP.
### Cere-i agentului
```text
Înțelege cum funcționează căutarea în aplicația Notes, arată-mi dovezile și
construiește o funcționalitate similară pentru proiectul meu.
```
Înlocuiește Notes cu aplicația vizată și precizează funcționalitatea pe care vrei să o înțelegi.
### Folosește terminalul
Inspectează directorul extras al unei aplicații JavaScript/Electron sau o arhivă ASAR:
```bash
npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json
```
Rezultatul include modulele, importurile, delimitările dintre componentele Electron
și dovezile aferente. Înlocuiește calea cu cea a aplicației vizate, de exemplu
`"D:/apps/example"` pe Windows.
Pentru a instala comanda `rea` și a o folosi în mod curent:
```bash
npm install --global rea-agents
rea --help
```
Pentru analiza nativă, configurează mai întâi un motor de analiză. Consultă
[ghidul CLI și Evidence](../cli.md) pentru comenzile de analiză nativă,
selectarea motorului, instantanee și utilizarea în scripturi.
### Actualizează REA
REA evoluează rapid, iar versiunile noi includ frecvent corecții de erori.
Menține instalarea la zi.
Pentru o interfață CLI instalată cu `npm install --global` sau `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
`rea --update` este un alias pentru acest flux de actualizare verificat și acceptă
aceleași opțiuni globale de ieșire. Folosește `rea update` când îl combini cu alte
opțiuni de control al comenzii.
Comenzile de actualizare păstrează cel mult 4 MiB în total din stdout și stderr.
Răspunsurile cu metadate prea mari sunt respinse după încheierea comenzii;
instalările cu ieșire detaliată continuă cu un volum limitat de date de diagnostic.
Afișarea progresului în terminal ține cont de ritmul în care acesta poate primi
date și așteaptă finalizarea operațiilor de scriere deja trimise.
Actualizările instalărilor globale cu Bun necesită Bun 1.2.17 sau o versiune mai nouă.
Dacă ai o versiune mai veche, actualizează Bun manual înainte de a rula `rea update`.
Pentru a actualiza înregistrările agenților și skill-ul, rulează comanda de
configurare afișată de programul de actualizare.
Dacă folosești `npx`, actualizează configurarea agentului cu:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
Verifică modificările de configurare și repornește agentul. Pentru comenzi CLI
ocazionale, folosește `npx rea-agents@latest` urmat de comandă. Cu Bun, folosește
`bunx rea-agents@latest` în loc de `npx rea-agents@latest`.
## Cum funcționează REA
Agentul tău apelează REA prin MCP pentru a inspecta ținta și a urmări codul relevant.
REA returnează constatările împreună cu dovezile aferente. Agentul le folosește
pentru a pune întrebări suplimentare, a explica comportamentul sau a scrie și
testa o implementare. Comenzile CLI folosesc aceleași fluxuri de lucru.
![Fluxul unei investigații REA: agentul întreabă despre o țintă locală, REA o inspectează și îi urmărește comportamentul cu ajutorul uneltelor de analiză, iar agentul folosește codul, referințele și necunoscutele returnate pentru a explica, implementa și testa.](../../website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg)

Inspectarea statică JavaScript și .NET citește fișierele furnizate fără a rula
aplicația. Capturarea în timpul execuției rulează ținta selectată sau interacționează
cu aceasta folosind permisiunile contului tău; fiecare ghid de capturare descrie
efectele acestor operații.
Pentru inspectarea offline a binarelor native, REA acceptă și GNU objdump și Rizin,
furnizate de utilizator. Consultă [ghidul uneltelor de inginerie inversă](../reverse-engineering-tools.md)
pentru configurare, comenzi CLI și limitările obiectelor Evidence. REA nu
instalează și nu actualizează niciunul dintre aceste două instrumente.
<a id="choosing-a-deep-analysis-provider"></a>
Formatele native și platformele acceptate diferă în funcție de motorul de analiză.
Consultă [configurarea Hopper și Ghidra](../installation.md#hopper),
[ghidul IDA](../ida-provider.md) (inclusiv o componentă opțională de legătură MCP nativă),
[ghidul decompilatorului Kuna](../kuna-provider.md) și
[suportul experimental Ghidra pe Windows](../windows-ghidra-p0.md).
Ghidra acceptă și [analiza DOS pe 16 biți](../ghidra-dos.md).
Pentru binare mari, mărește timpul maxim de pornire al motorului cu
`REA_GHIDRA_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS` sau `REA_HOPPER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS`.
Pentru selectarea motorului, consultă [ghidul CLI](../cli.md#choose-a-provider).
Verifică [disponibilitatea în versiunile publicate](../installation.md#released-package-and-main)
pentru funcționalitățile adăugate după cea mai recentă versiune npm.

### DX-Ball: reconstruiește calculul panoramării sunetului
Urmărește un apel audio până la funcția auxiliară care transformă poziția în
panoramare stereo, inspectează instrucțiunile și transformă pseudocodul incomplet
în C. Reconstrucția trece 3.205 cazuri de test comparate cu originalul x86 și
reproduce toți cei 63 de octeți ai funcției compilate.

### Notion: urmărește legătura Electron cu clipboardul
Găsește API-ul pentru clipboard din procesul de randare, urmărește-l prin preload
și IPC până în procesul principal și inspectează formatul datelor cu formatare din clipboard.
[Citește studiul de caz](https://rea.tools/showcase/notion/)
### TH04: recuperează calculul unui inel de proiectile DOS
Inspectează instrucțiunile pe 16 biți ale jocului original pentru PC-98,
recuperează calculele unghiurilor fixe și ale celor orientate spre țintă și
compară codul C++ reconstruit cu rezultatul compilatorului folosit la acea vreme.

întrebarea ta, cum te-a ajutat REA și ce ai descoperit.
## Întrebări frecvente
<details>
<summary><strong>Ce agenți pot folosi REA?</strong></summary>
Orice agent care acceptă servere MCP locale. Programul de configurare pregătește
[agenții acceptați](../installation.md#supported-agents); pentru ceilalți clienți
poți folosi [înregistrarea manuală MCP](../installation.md#mcp-registry).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Am nevoie de Hopper, Ghidra sau IDA?</strong></summary>
Analiza nativă aprofundată folosește unul dintre aceste instrumente. Inspectarea
statică JavaScript și .NET funcționează fără un motor de analiză nativă.
Programul de configurare poate instala Hopper după aprobare; pentru Ghidra și IDA
folosește instalările existente. Consultă [configurarea motoarelor de analiză](../installation.md#hopper).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Trebuie să pornesc mai întâi Hopper?</strong></summary>
REA pornește Hopper când o operație are nevoie de el. Pe macOS, un dialog afișat
la prima pornire îți poate cere să alegi modul demonstrativ sau să activezi licența.
Finalizează acel pas în aceeași sesiune de utilizator înainte de prima operație
CLI/MCP sau de prima sarcină nesupravegheată. Deschide Hopper manual dacă este nevoie.
Consultă [pornirea Hopper și depanarea](../installation.md#launcher-paths-and-troubleshooting).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Ce face instalarea skill-ului de pe skills.sh?</strong></summary>
Skill-ul oferă agentului instrucțiuni de investigare. Folosește `npx rea-agents setup`
pentru a înregistra serverul MCP REA și a instala instrucțiunile corespunzătoare,
apoi repornește agentul. Consultă [instalarea doar a skill-ului](../installation.md#skill-only-installation).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Ce cod returnează REA?</strong></summary>
Analiza nativă returnează pseudocod și cod de asamblare. Analiza JavaScript/Electron
recuperează modulele și relațiile dintre ele. Agentul tău folosește aceste
constatări pentru a scrie și testa o implementare;
[studiile de caz](#studii-de-caz) oferă exemple detaliate.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>REA îmi încarcă aplicația pe un server?</strong></summary>
REA analizează țintele local. Agentul tău primește rezultatele uneltelor, iar
furnizorul modelului său are propria politică privind datele.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Ce fac dacă întâlnesc o eroare?</strong></summary>
Actualizează mai întâi; o versiune recentă ar putea să o fi remediat deja.
Pentru o interfață CLI instalată cu `npm install --global` sau `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
Pentru configurarea agentului prin `npx`:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
Dacă folosești un agent, finalizează [actualizarea configurării](#actualizează-rea)
și repornește-l. Reîncearcă aceeași sarcină. Dacă problema persistă,
[deschide un issue](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues) și include versiunea REA,
tipul țintei analizate, pașii de reproducere și mesajele de eroare.

1. Add `environmentCoverageView.ts`: the request schema, the result fields, the
hint per write reason (`satisfies Record<WriteReason, string>`), a
summarizer over state views and write plans, and the projector, which
projects the environment-state view and summarizes it. Register the kind in
the view unions, the grouping dispatch and the view service (state
accumulator, inferred confidence).
2. Split the export's input read into `readEnvironmentExportFile` and
`environmentExportFile` (parse and seal bytes), both naming the calling
operation, and let the export take an already prepared state.
3. Add `environmentBuild.ts`: classify the capture, project the manifest from
the in-memory Evidence, serialize it as `--format json` writes it to a file,
authenticate the pair from those bytes, name the environment, prepare the
state as the export does, summarize coverage, scan credential names, then
plan (dry run) or export. `environmentBuildReport.ts` holds the scan and the
naming helpers.
4. Register `environment-build` in the CLI: inspect a HAR through the capture
service as `inspect-web-network-capture` does, or read Evidence once as the
export does, and log stages at info.
5. Switch `scripts/verify-agentenv-environment.mjs` to the build command.
6. Document the command, the report, the hints, what ships, and the view.
7. Tests: coverage summary and hint completeness, the view against the state
view, build equivalence with the three-step path in process and through the
CLI, dry run, naming, refusals, the credential scan, and the view over MCP.

# Build an environment in one step
Issue: https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4933
## Outcome
Building an agent environment bundle takes three commands and a hand-written
view request that embeds the whole capture inline, so large captures hit inline
input accounting. The views apply no opt-in template rules by default, while the
published capture-built environments all use the same four, and a local capture
is named after its origin host (`127-0-0-1-3105`). Nothing reports which tools
an environment serves from its state, or why a write tool is withheld.
`rea environment-build <capture> [directory]` builds the bundle in one offline
step and reports what it serves. A new `environment-coverage` analysis view
reports the same summary for any capture, so an agent can check a recording
before building.
## Requirements
- The capture is a `.har` file, inspected as `inspect-web-network-capture`
inspects it, or capture Evidence JSON from `inspect_web_network_capture` or
`capture_browser_scenario`; any other extension is refused before it is
read, and a HAR document saved as `.json` is refused with a hint.
- The manifest is projected from the in-memory capture as retained Evidence,
with the default rules `after-uid-literal`, `opaque-token`,
`sibling-variance` and `prefix-variance` unless `--template-rule` or
`--format-rules-only` selects others; rules apply in the views' order and a
repeated rule is refused, as the views refuse it.
- For the same capture path, every bundle file is byte-identical to what
`inspect-web-network-capture --format json`, `inspect-analysis-view --format
json` (the same rules in the views' order) and `environment-export` (the
build's name) write, Evidence ids included. The Evidence is serialized once
into one exactly sized buffer, whose bytes are both authenticated and shipped.
- The name is `--name`, else the manifest's, unless the origin is a loopback
name or IP literal: then the capture file's name, with a warning; a file name
that yields no portable bundle name is refused, asking for `--name`.
- The report carries the export's tool count, state, package source and files,
plus the capture and manifest identities, `coverage`, warnings and the next
command, shell-quoted. `coverage`
counts read tools answered from the state and replayed (per view reason), and
lists write tools as served or withheld with their reason, plan record, the
contradicting read and a hint; it is null when the state is unavailable.
- Every write reason has a hint; a reason without one fails to compile.
- Credential-named header names, query parameter names and JSON or form body
members that hold a value are reported as a count and the first 20 record or
event pointers, never values, and never refuse a build; the scan cannot
overflow the stack on deeply nested bodies. A body is read as a form
(`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, by `URLSearchParams`) or as JSON (the
media types replay parses as JSON) by its recorded media type; a body with
none, or one naming neither, is JSON when it starts with `{` or `[` and a form
when it contains `=` and no whitespace, so plain text and empty bodies yield
no pointers. A browser scenario is scanned by event rather than by record:
every retained request and response network-content event's header values and
body, including a response whose request began before the browser was attached
and a transaction that cannot be attributed to one request and response, and
each transaction URL's query parameters once; its pointers name the event's
index in `events.items` (`event 4 response /token`). Each occurrence of a
repeated form field counts, as each repeated header or query parameter does. A
HAR request recorded with structured form parameters and no text, or the null
text mitmproxy's SaveHar records, is scanned by those parameters. Text bodies
over the 4 MiB scan limit, measured in UTF-8 bytes, including a response body
decoded only as a prefix, are not scanned; they are reported as a
`credential-scan-incomplete` warning with a count and the first 20 record or
event and side pointers (`record 3 response`, `event 4 response`), never
contents, and never refuse a build. Binary bodies hold no JSON or form text
and are neither scanned nor reported.
- The inspected HAR's Evidence and the projected manifest are admitted against
the live heap headroom for parsing and sealing before either is serialized, as
a capture Evidence file is before it is read; one that does not fit is refused
as `resource_constraint` before anything is written.
- An empty or NUL-containing capture, directory or package tarball argument is
refused as invalid input; it is never resolved to the working directory.
- Nothing is written before the bundle stage; `--dry-run` writes nothing,
reports the files a build would write and refuses the package tarballs a build
refuses, admitting, reading and hashing, and releasing the tarball as a build
does before copying it, so a tarball whose contents cannot be read is refused:
a close it cannot confirm is reported as incomplete cleanup that keeps its
owner. The directory must be absent or empty.
- SIGINT is checked between stages and after a dry run's last step: a build
cancelled before the bundle stage writes nothing, and one cancelled during the
write names the written bundle.
- The `environment-coverage` view summarizes the environment-state view with
the same rules, refuses what it refuses and is inferred. It does not apply the
serve-time catalog and state admission checks, and says so in a limitation.
- The `real-agentenv` lane builds its bundle with `environment-build`.
## Non-goals
- No change to the three existing commands' contracts, or to what any view
derives or any environment serves.
- No browser launch or network access: scenarios are recorded with
`capture-browser-scenario` first.
- No `--replace`, no refusal on credential names, and no rewriting of the
capture's absolute path, which Evidence identity includes.
- No MCP export tool; that is a separate change.

## Equivalence and coverage over the published captures
Each of the 50 published capture-built environments' captures (capture Evidence JSON) and four scoped HAR recordings
(EspoCRM, Ghost, NocoDB, Sonarr) was built twice: once with `rea environment-build <capture> <dir> --json`, and once
with the three CLI steps, `inspect-web-network-capture --format json` (HAR only), `inspect-analysis-view` with an
`evidence-file` source and the four default rules, and `environment-export --name <the build's name>`. Every file of
every bundle was compared by SHA-256.
| Inputs | Bundles identical | State served | Read tools from state / replayed | Write tools served / withheld | Build / three steps |
| ------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------ | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------- |
| 50 capture Evidence files | 50 of 50 | 50 | 1,100 / 290 | 50 / 143 | 32.9 s / 59.2 s |
| 4 scoped HARs | 4 of 4 | 4 | 166 / 21 | 5 / 12 | 8.3 s / 12.4 s |
- The coverage of every capture equals an independent census of the environment-state view with the same rules (read
views by shape, write plans by verdict and reason).
- 43 of the 50 captures have a loopback origin and are named after their file (`grafana.capture.json` becomes `grafana`)
with a `name-from-file` warning. 20 carry a `credential-named-members` warning; the published captures were scrubbed by
their pipeline, whose placeholder strings still count.
- The withheld writes' reasons: no-state-target 86, contradicted 16, unconfirmed 14, no-observation 13,
unexplained-change 8, side-effect 4, body-unusable 1, incomplete-entities 1.
## End to end
Five environments last rebuilt on 10-23 were built again with this branch's packed CLI on disposable Ubuntu VMs, four
from their scoped HAR recordings and Metabase from its capture Evidence, with `rea environment-build <capture> <dir>
--name <app> --package-tarball <tarball>`. Each bundle then ran its smoke task, a retrieval eval generated from the
bundle's own manifest and capture, and the write eval from its recorded write spec, with two models through a LiteLLM
proxy (`fireworks_ai/gpt-oss-120b`, `fireworks_ai/glm-5p3-flash`), one run per task.
| App | Input | Served tools of manifest | Served writes (build report) | Smoke | Retrieval gpt-oss / GLM | Writes gpt-oss / GLM |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------- | -------------------- |
| Ghost | HAR | 35 of 38 | 0 (3 no-state-target) | passed | 12/12 / 8/12 | 0/2 / 0/2 |
| Metabase | Evidence | 40 of 42 | 1 (create contradicted, update unexplained-change) | passed | 12/12 / 12/12 | 1/2 / 1/2 |
| EspoCRM | HAR | 85 of 88 | 0 (2 contradicted, 1 unexplained-change) | passed | 12/12 / 10/12 | 0/2 / 0/2 |
| NocoDB | HAR | 23 of 28 | 0 (4 no-state-target, 1 unconfirmed) | passed | 6/6 / 5/6 | 0/3 / 0/3 |
| Sonarr | HAR | 49 of 50 | 5 (1 side-effect) | passed | 12/12 / 12/12 | 3/3 / 3/3 |
- Every write task passed with both models when the build report listed its tool as served (Metabase's card delete and
Sonarr's release-profile create, update and delete), and failed when it listed it as withheld: 8 of 24 write episodes
passed, exactly the served ones. On main these apps' other writes are withheld; the published v0.2.0 versions were
built with the state-target and write-rule changes, which serve more of them.
- The retrieval misses are GLM answers on bundles byte-identical to the three-step path's; gpt-oss passed all 54.
- The `real-agentenv` lane, switched to `environment-build`, passed from a fresh checkout on Ubuntu with
`agent-env 0.9.1334` and the host's Docker: five public cases, the smoke task passed in 26.6 s, no new containers.
## Review
An independent review rebuilt the branch and tried to refute it. It confirmed byte-equality for pretty-printed,
CRLF and newline-free Evidence, Unicode HARs across output part boundaries, inline and file view sources, browser
scenario Evidence and relative or symlinked paths, and that the refactored export answers 16 success and refusal cases
exactly as main does. Its findings, all addressed:
- The credential scan recursed and a 4 KB body nested 5,000 deep crashed the build; it now walks with its own stack, and
also scans header names, query names and form bodies.
- SIGINT after the capture was read was ignored; the build now checks the signal between stages and writes nothing when
cancelled before the bundle stage.
- The coverage view does not apply the serve-time catalog and state admission checks; a limitation and the docs now say
so.
- A dry run accepted a tarball the build refuses; it now opens it for reading.
- Repeated `--template-rule` values were deduplicated; they are refused as the views refuse them. A HAR saved as `.json`
gets a hint, file-derived names follow the bundle name rules, `localhost.` is anonymous, and the next command is
shell-quoted.
- The `no-observation` hint now covers updates and deletes of entities the state never held; the docs no longer claim
the build launches no process, state the conditions of byte-equality, and name the headers inspection excludes; the
MCP tool description names the view.
## Review round on main `584120e8`
The branch merged main `584120e8`: the export's file read now returns permission refusals through `Result`, as main
does, under the build's operation name, and the `environment-coverage` sentence sits in main's `inspect_analysis_view`
description. Four automated review findings were fixed, each with a test that fails on the merge:
- A browser scenario's retained header values and the query parameters of its recorded URLs are scanned for credential
names as a HAR's are; the manifest and replay record projections are unchanged.
- `--dry-run --package-tarball` admits and releases the tarball through the export's own regular-file scope, so a close
it cannot confirm is retried and then reported as incomplete cleanup that keeps its owner.
- A dry run checks for cancellation after reading the tarball, before it reports a plan.
- Evidence is serialized into one exactly sized buffer instead of chunks joined by a copy. Those bytes are still parsed
and sealed before authentication, so authentication reads exactly what ships.
On macOS with Node v22.23.1: the static gates passed (`npm run jscpd`: 3.53%), `npx vitest run --project domain
--project services` passed (9753, 6 skipped), the environment boundary projects passed (102), and the focused build,
export, export-inputs, serve and analysis-view boundaries with tool schema validity passed (9 files, 96). Rebuilt over
the same 50 captures and four HARs, all 54 bundles are byte-identical to the three-step path's, with the same coverage,
served writes and warnings as before the round.
## Review round on main `3d84215b`
The branch merged main through `3d84215b`: #6946, which carries this builder, in `27a4e3986`, then #7008. Integrating
#6946 took main's event-based credential scan, which also answers the review finding that a scenario transaction with
duplicate responses or content events hid their credential names; a test that both content events of a transaction
recorded twice are scanned fails on `0895c89bc`. The integration had dropped `0895c89bc`'s tests for form text recorded
without a media type and its `body-unusable` hint; both are restored, and main's scan passes the tests.
Rebuilt at `05566419e` over the same 50 captures and four HARs, all 54 bundles are byte-identical to the three-step
path's, and their warnings and credential counts equal the previous round's.

# Plan
1. Add the `request` action to the scenario schema: methods, path, query,
headers with page value sources, JSON body and expected statuses; validate
the origin and the body against the start URL; include query and header
secrets in the declared-secret check.
2. Add `PlaywrightScenarioRequest.ts`: check the page's origin, build the URL,
resolve header values (admitting values read from the page to the scenario's
redaction), fetch in the page with a timeout and read the whole response,
then check the status. Dispatch it from the action runner with the start
origin, and add the limitation when a scenario has a request step.
3. Add a real-browser lane, `verify:browser:request`: a fixture item API that
requires a CSRF cookie header and a stored bearer token for writes, a write
session recorded through the CLI, the build's served writes, and a failing
expected status.
4. Add the `export_environment_bundle` contract, effects, CLI alias, catalog
family and handler: check the destination as other MCP output tools do,
resolve the capture bytes, and call the build with an exclusive destination.
5. Write the skill reference, route it from SKILL.md and install it with setup.
6. Document the request step, the MCP tool and recording writes.
7. Tests: request step unit tests, the MCP tool boundary, setup's skill files.

# Build an environment from a prompt
## Outcome
`rea environment-build` builds a bundle from one capture, but an agent asked to
"make an environment of this app" still cannot finish the job through REA's MCP
server. A browser scenario can only reach an application's API through the UI or
a `goto` GET, so recording the writes an environment serves means scripting every
form, and there is no MCP tool that writes a bundle. Nothing tells the agent how
to record a session the state can learn writes from, or when to stop recording.
A `request` scenario action sends one same-origin request through the page's own
`fetch`, so a scenario can sign in through the UI and then call the application's
API, writes included, with the session's cookies and the CSRF or bearer values
the application's own requests send. An `export_environment_bundle` MCP tool
builds the bundle from capture Evidence, as `environment-build` does. A skill
reference walks an agent from the prompt to a bundle: map, record, check
coverage, re-record by reason, export and hand off.
## Requirements
- A `request` step names a method (`GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`,
`DELETE`), a path on the start URL's origin, ordered query entries, headers,
an optional JSON body and optional expected statuses. Validation refuses a
path that resolves to another origin, a body on `GET` or `HEAD`, a 3xx
expected status, header names a page's `fetch` cannot set or Chrome drops
(`User-Agent`), a header name given twice, line breaks or control characters
in literal values and prefixes, and a path the URL parser rejects, as a field
issue at the step's path.
- Header values are literals, declared secrets, a cookie the browser holds for
the request URL, or a local storage value on the start origin, optionally read
at a JSON pointer, with an optional prefix; local storage values are read only
while the page is on the start origin. Values read from the page are redacted
like declared secrets from records made after they are read, as stored and as
sent; a value read again keeps its first marker, a colliding label never
unredacts an earlier value, and values shorter than 8 characters are not
redacted.
- The request runs through the page's `fetch` with same-origin credentials, from
a page on the start origin (checked again in the page as it is sent), follows
no redirects, and completes when the response has been read to its end,
without keeping its body. A redirect, a status outside `expected_status`, a
network error or the step timeout fails the step; later steps are cancelled as
for other actions. The page sends only before the step's deadline, which it
receives as an absolute time, and within one second of being handed the
request; a busy page that starts later sends nothing, and the step hands the
request over again while it is neither cancelled nor out of time. A step
cancelled or out of time before the page starts its request sends nothing,
except a request the page starts within that second of being handed it. A
browser whose clock runs ahead of the host's fails the step. Its network
events are attributed to the step.
- Captures with request steps say so in a limitation. A scenario without one
validates, runs and records exactly as before.
- `export_environment_bundle` takes retained capture Evidence or a capture
Evidence file, an absolute output directory that does not exist and whose
parent does, and the build's name, template rules, package tarball and dry
run. It writes the bundle `environment-build` writes from the same Evidence
bytes (retained Evidence serialized as `--format json` writes it) and returns
the same report, validated by its output schema. It refuses an existing
directory, empty or not, a parentless or relative one, unknown Evidence, an
unnamed loopback capture and repeated rules, and writes nothing when it
refuses. Retained Evidence is refused for heap headroom before it is
serialized, as an Evidence file is before it is read. `environment-build` is
its CLI command.
- The skill reference `references/environments.md` is installed with the skill
and routed from SKILL.md. It covers disposable instances only, credentials
from environment variables, the recording rules the state needs, coverage, the
stop rule, the hand-off, and how to reach objects by id when the server
assigns ids: ids the caller chooses, a second scenario, or the UI.
- Coverage of a capture whose records are not all timed, which includes every
browser scenario capture, says the state learns no write clock.
- Stop rule: re-record a withheld write at most twice for a recording gap
(`no-state-target`, `no-observation`, `unconfirmed`, `incomplete-entities`),
once for `unexplained-change` and `no-call`, and stop at once for application
behaviour (`side-effect`, `contradicted`, `body-unusable`).
## Non-goals
- No cross-origin requests, form or multipart bodies, or arbitrary script
actions.
- No retroactive redaction of values a request step reads: a login response
recorded before the step keeps the token it returned, as captures do today.
- No application start, seed or reset, and no publishing of bundles.
- No change to what any view derives or any environment serves.

writes and never reach the Evidence, two queued writes are refused, the build serves the three write tools, an unexpected status fails the step and
cancels the rest, and a redirect to another origin is not followed, the other origin receiving nothing) and
`verify:browser:network` passed. `verify:browser` stops at "Real Chrome stable capture identities did not
reconcile", an `inspect_web_page` comparison this change does not touch, and fails the same way on the base.
- `verify:browser:request` runs each CLI call under the shared package verifier command owner, which stops the CLI and
the browser it launched on timeout, output overflow or failure before the lane's private root is removed, and reports
a failed stop with the root retained; `browserRequestVerifierOwnership.test.ts` proves a still-running CLI's
separately grouped browser is stopped before the root goes.
Scenarios without request steps are unchanged: the action union gains a member, the secrets refactor compiles the same
patterns, the request-step limitation appears only with request steps, and the browser suites and the network lane pass.
## End to end: environments from a prompt
Five self-hosted applications were brought up fresh and seeded on four disposable VMs, loopback only. Claude Code 2.1.310
(`claude-sonnet-5-5` through a LiteLLM proxy) got this branch's packed CLI, registered with `rea setup --client
claude_code` (the MCP server and the skill), and one prompt per application: build an agent environment of the app at
this URL, cover these entities, the instance is disposable but leave the seeded data as found, sign in as this user, the
password is in `APP_PASSWORD`, Chromium is here, write the bundle there. The prompt did not mention the skill. The agent
could use the REA tools, the skill and file tools; Bash and web tools were disabled.
Each bundle was then rebuilt with `environment-build` from its own `evidence.json` and this branch's tarball (the
registry's `rea-agents@6.7.0` has no `environment-serve`); `manifest.json` and `evidence.json` were byte-identical to
the agent's in all five. It ran its smoke task, a retrieval eval generated from its manifest and capture, and the
application's recorded write eval with `fireworks_ai/gpt-oss-120b` and `fireworks_ai/glm-5p3-flash`, one run per task.

\* The Directus write eval checks that the state holds exactly the provisions the scripted recording read (2); the
agent's recording read all 5, so its count checks fail although every field check passes (0/2 with both models). With
the counts relative to the state's own provisions it passes 2/2 with both.
- Write tasks passed exactly when the build served their tool, with both models.
- The skill loaded unprompted in every run. All five agents signed in through the form with the declared secret,
recorded the API with request steps, checked coverage, stopped by the withheld reasons and exported with
`export_environment_bundle`; each reported the credential-named warning pointers, and none published anything.
- The scripted recordings the published environments were built from, built with this branch, read more (11, 39, 21,
31 and 35 state-backed reads) and serve 7, 3, 2, 2 and 0 writes; the prompted recordings serve 0, 6, 0, 5 and 1.
- Linkding's and Homebox's updates are withheld because a browser scenario carries no request times: the state learns
no clock, so an update the application stamps with a modification time is `unexplained-change`. Linkding's scripted
HAR serves the same PATCH with a clock rule. The coverage view now says so; recording request times on scenario
network events would lift it. Linkding derives each bookmark's archive URL from its creation time, so its create is
`contradicted` in both recordings.
Earlier rounds: in the first, two agents hung on steps without `timeout_ms` and most guessed the scenario schema, so the
reference now starts from a whole scenario with a timeout on every step; the second (same five apps, before the review
fixes) served 1, 6, 0, 5 and 0 writes with the same eval pattern.
## Review
Two independent reviews tried to refute the change.
- The first found a 302 that took a request step to another origin, page values left unredacted under a repeated or
colliding header label, short page values that rewrote ids and hosts across the capture, `User-Agent` accepted but
dropped by Chrome, a request that could still be sent after its step timed out, an origin check separated from the
send, a literal query re-encoded, line breaks accepted in header values, and CLI wording in MCP refusals. All are
fixed and tested; redirects are now checked in real Chrome.
- The second confirmed those fixes and found query entries mishandled after a path ending in `?` or `#`, 3xx expected
statuses that can never match, and padded stored values escaping redaction (fixed), plus the body cost of reading a
page value, short values kept in plain text and the MCP dry run checking its directory (documented). In the
prompted captures, only static assets lost bodies to the size limits.

# Time browser scenario records
## Outcome
Browser scenario network events record no times, so every record a scenario
projects is untimed. The environment-state view then orders records by
position, detects no overlapping requests and learns no write clock: an update
whose response carries a modification time the application sets is withheld as
`unexplained-change` however it is recorded, while a HAR of the same session
serves it with a clock rule.
Scenario network events now record when each request was observed and how long
the browser took, and scenario records carry them as HAR entries do, so a
scenario capture learns the clock a HAR does.
## Requirements
- Each `request` event carries `observed_at`, the ISO wall-clock time the
provider observed the request start; Playwright reports the browser's start
only once a request ends.
- Each `request-finished` and `request-failed` event carries `started_at`, the
browser's wall-clock start (`timing().startTime > 0`), and `elapsed_ms`, its
time from that start to the end of the response (`timing().responseEnd >= 0`),
when the browser reports them.
- The fields are optional in the schema, so Evidence captured before them still
parses and is read exactly as before. REA versions before them refuse
Evidence that carries them.
- Scenario records take `startedDateTime` from the transaction's single
finished or failed event's `started_at`, else from `observed_at`, and `time`
from its `elapsed_ms` (0 without one), and say so in a limitation; a capture
whose requests are all timed gets the recorded-start-time timeline and a
write clock.
- Scenario comparisons ignore both fields, as a committed built-in rule
(`ignore_network_request_timing`).
- The added metadata is charged to the event budgets as other metadata is.
## Non-goals
- No change to HAR captures, to how the state uses times, or to what a
record's timing means for overlap or clock rules.
- No retroactive timing of captures made before this change.
- No browser start for a request that never ended: its record starts at
`observed_at`, which can trail the browser's start by tens of milliseconds
while the provider reads other responses, with no duration.

Executed on macOS with Node v24.22.1 at `feat/scenario-request-timing` b92a11b6 (on main d87e73f2), and on Ubuntu 24.04
VMs with snap Chromium 155 for the recordings.
## Gates
- `npm run -s typecheck`, `lint`, `format:check`, `docs:check`, `mcp-catalog:check`, `verify:test-discovery`,
`scan:todos` and `npx knip`: passed.
- `npx vitest run --project domain --project services --project adapters`: 16,380 passed and 1 failed, "stops Inspector
target authorization after the current stat settles", which fails the same way on main in this environment.
- Browser and scenario MCP and CLI boundaries, tool schema validity and the analysis-view MCP boundary: passed.
- `npm run -s verify:browser:network` in real Chrome: every one of the 10 requests carries `observed_at`, and every
finished request carries the browser's `started_at` and `elapsed_ms` (9 of 10; the tenth is the fixture's deliberately
unfinished stream).
- Captures made before this change parse and project exactly as before: the published Pinry (568 requests), PhotoPrism
(277) and Lychee (134) captures give byte-identical manifest and state views, Evidence ids and digests included, on
main and on this branch.
## The same capture with and without request times
Each capture below was recorded with this branch, then built twice: as recorded, and with its request times removed and
the Evidence sealed again as the provider seals it. The difference is this change alone.
| Capture | Records | Timeline without / with times | Writes served without / with times |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Linkding, agent-recorded from a prompt | 60 | record order / start time | 1 / 4 |
| Linkding, agent-recorded from a prompt (again) | 65 | record order / start time | 3 / 3 |
| Homebox, agent-recorded from a prompt | 263 | record order / start time | 2 / 3 |

| PhotoPrism, its published scenario re-recorded | 273 | record order / start time | 2 / 2 (2 clock rules learned) |
- With times, Linkding's bookmark and bundle edits and Homebox's tag edit are served: their responses carry a
modification time the application sets, which only a clock explains. PhotoPrism's served album create now stamps
`CreatedAt` and `UpdatedAt` from the clock instead of replaying the recorded values. No capture served fewer writes.
- The second Linkding and Homebox recordings gain nothing because their gaps are elsewhere (`unconfirmed` and `contradicted`
writes): an agent's recording choices move coverage more than timing does.
- The prompt-built recordings used a local, unpushed build of this branch merged with the prompt PR (#6946), which adds
the `request` scenario action they need. Claude Code (`claude-sonnet-5-5`) recorded each app from a one-paragraph
prompt, as in that PR's end-to-end check.
- The Linkding bundle with four served writes passes all three of the application's write tasks with
`fireworks_ai/gpt-oss-120b` and `fireworks_ai/glm-5p3-flash` (with the tasks' entity counts taken relative to the
bundle's own state, which holds active and archived bookmarks as two types); the earlier prompt-built Linkding bundles,
recorded without times, passed none. The Homebox bundle passes both of its write tasks with gpt-oss and one with GLM
(GLM deleted the wrong item). The final build's prompt-recorded bundles start and answer retrieval: Linkding
passed its smoke task and 8/8 and 7/8 retrieval tasks, Homebox its smoke task and 3/3 and 3/3.
## Stale published environments
Pinry and PhotoPrism are the oldest published environments recorded as browser scenarios (version 0.1.0, replay only).
Both were re-recorded with this branch from their published scenarios on fresh seeded instances and rebuilt with the
publishing pipeline:
| App | Published 0.1.0 | Rebuilt with this branch |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pinry | 12 tools, replay, retrieval 6/6 and 6/6 | 12 tools, state and clock, no writes served; retrieval 6/6 and 4/6 |
| PhotoPrism | 13 tools, replay, retrieval 10/10 and 10/10 | 14 tools, state and clock, album create and rename served; retrieval 8/10 and 5/10 |
Neither improves, so neither was republished. The retrieval drops do not come from timing: the timed and untimed states
are identical in every view these tasks read. PhotoPrism's album list is answered from the state in name order while
the recorded response that generated the task listed another album first; Pinry's two GLM misses are tool calls
rejected for passing `limit` and `offset` as numbers, under the same tool schemas the published version had.
## Review
An independent review rebuilt the branch and tried to refute it. It confirmed byte-identical views for earlier captures,
that comparisons with and without times compare alike, that each record's duration comes only from its own
transaction, and that both fields are charged to the event budgets. Its findings are addressed: records now start at the
browser's own start time rather than the provider's observation, which trailed it by up to 36 ms while other responses
were read; the docs give the fallback's lag, that earlier REA versions refuse captures carrying the fields, and that the
comparison's normalization digest changes; and tests cover the fallbacks, partly untimed captures and comparisons with
untimed captures.

- An item or list view names in `sorted_arrays` the fields it lists as string

initial entity shows it as a sorted string array or null, one with two
distinct strings, and no read the gate counts has listed it unsorted with two
distinct strings. It is learned from a counted read that fails with the
stored order and passes with the field sorted, and only when that read lists
a written array in an order that is neither the written one nor values the
initial state held first, then the new ones as written (an application
ordering by tag id or creation shows that order too). The stored value keeps

the type shows its entity, with every field that read always shows. A call
answering anything else made a sub-resource, as a comment `POST` does, and
stays `none`. An action's unsent change of a scalar that no other rule
explains takes the value its observation showed, a `set` rule applied on every
call (`archived: true`); a changed object, list or instant has no rule, so the
plan is `unexplained-change`. An action is served only when it sets something
and a recorded call found every field it sets already at that value, since one
change cannot tell a set from a toggle; otherwise it stays `unconfirmed`. Its
call may send no body. An action is observed in its own response, or in a
later item read only while no other tool's modelled write to the entity awaits
a check: that read then checks the other write, and the action's call is one

**Bulk writes.** A `DELETE`, `PUT` or `PATCH` at a type's
`collection_template`, or a `POST` to it plus `delete`, `remove` or `destroy`,
names its entities in its body: an array of ids of one JSON kind, or of
objects carrying the type's `id_field`, at the root or as the body's one array
member (`{"IDs": […], "Read": true}`, `[{"Id": 9}]`). Every successful call
must name them the same way, recorded as `address: {by: "ids", member, kind}`
or `{by: "elements", member}`. A path whose last segment is the type's
singular or plural (`/messages` for `/message`) writes that type. An `ids`
member applies the body's other members to every id, an element its own
members; a root id array updates nothing. Each named entity gets the effect as
an item call would, checked by the same reads; one the state does not hold
leaves the call unmodelled there. A bulk update's observation must show the
members the call sent. Serving answers any ids only when the exemplar's
response fits: no body, a body naming none of the recorded ids and holding no
number equal to how many it named (a count), or an array with one element per
id, each showing it as the first does; otherwise the reason is

naming the exemplar's collection.
A constant may also derive from a member without holding its text, when the
constant is named after the member: with a reference's `Id` or `_id` left off,
one name's letters and digits begin the other's (`parentId` and `parentName`,
`dateEndDate` and `dateEnd`), three or more of them. Such a member is accepted
only with its recorded value when it names another entity the copy holds (by
its id, among the types whose paths hold the member's name when any does; a
value shorter than 8 characters only under a member named as a reference, such
as `parentId` or `parent_id`) whose own string of 8 or more characters the
constant repeats under another name, neither name reading as a reference; or

of (an end date stored as a time in another zone).

nests under the field it refers to (`collection_id` and a `collection`

every entity in another state holds a field the new one leaves null, or the
reverse (Ghost's `status: "draft"` beside `published_at: null`), unless the
tool's recorded calls sent other values of it. Updates take a member naming

# Learn creates from every call, sorted arrays and referenced entities
Issue: https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4933
## Outcome
After the derived-values change, the creates prompt-built environments still withheld failed for four reasons the
write model did not cover:
- A create plan was learned from the tool's first call alone, so a later call that sent a member the first did not
(Linkding's `shared`), or left one out, was refused even when it agreed with the plan everywhere else.
- Linkding stores `tag_names` sorted, so a call that sent its tags in another order did not echo them, and its create
was withheld or contradicted.
- Homebox's item create answers its parent and type as whole objects (`parent`, `location`, `entityType`) beside the
`parentId` and `entityTypeId` it sent. Kept as constants, they pinned those members to their recorded values.
- Lists show some objects with fewer keys than an entity holds: Homebox lists an item's parent without the parent's
own type, and Keycloak lists a user's `access` with one key. A created entity's object rendered whole, so the list

## Behaviour
- **Every call.** A later create is explained on its own and merged into the plan when both calls show the same fields,
but for a reference whose member a call without it did not send (one an earlier create added stays), every field
both rule they rule alike, and a field neither rules holds one value. Members either call sent are accepted, only
those every call sent are required, and an echoed member a call left out takes the value that call stored
(`body.defaults`). A clock widens to `trimmed` only when no held entity or earlier call showed it at a fixed width. A
later create that disagrees leaves the plan as it was and is judged as before; one that left out a member the plan
fills while showing that field otherwise is `unexplained-change`. Merged rules keep the plan's order.
- **Sorted arrays.** An echo is `sorted` when the application stored the sent strings in code-point order rather than
as sent; serving stores them sorted. A plain echo and a sorted one agree, and the plan keeps the sorted one, since a
call whose array was already in order cannot show it; once a call stored strings out of order as sent, they disagree.
- **References.** A created or updated object field that holds fields of the entity a sent member names, as the state
holds it, is a `reference` (member, type, fields). Several members naming such entities resolve to the one named like
the field. The member is accepted with any value. Replay and serving look the entity up in the state they hold;
serving refuses a call naming one the environment does not hold or holds in more than one collection, and the field
is absent, from the entity and the create's answer, when the call does not send the member. An update that sends the
member naming the entity the field already repeats keeps a reference an earlier call showed.
- **Nested view keys.** A view that always shows a field's objects with the same keys, in any order, and fewer than
an entity stores, names them in `nested_fields` in the first recording's order, and a stored object it never
recorded renders with those keys.
Plans and views that need none of this are unchanged.
## Acceptance
- Linkding's prompt-recorded bookmark create whose read-back lists tags sorted is served, and Homebox's item create is
explained without pinning its parent or type.
- No write tool of the 69 recorded captures goes from served to withheld.

# Verification
Executed on macOS with Node v24.22.1 at `043053d1` (main `79845063`, the derived-values branch `8ce1127b` and this
branch). Recorded captures and served write tasks were measured with a local, unpushed build of this branch merged with
the scenario-timing branch (#6967), as the derived-values branch was; its baseline is the derived-values branch with the
same merge.
## Gates
- `npm run -s typecheck`, `lint`, `format:check`, `docs:check`, `mcp-catalog:check`, `verify:test-discovery`,
`scan:todos` and `npx knip`: passed.
- `npx vitest run --project domain --project services --project adapters`: 17,258 passed, 25 skipped, 1 failed ("stops
Inspector target authorization after the current stat settles"), which fails the same way on main in this environment.
- `npm run test:focused --` the environment build, export and serve CLI boundaries, the analysis-view CLI and MCP
boundaries, the environment serve, served-writes and bundle MCP boundaries, MCP schema validation and output schema
constraints: 10 files, 82 passed.
## Tests
- View: a later create sending a member the first did not, or leaving one out, widens the plan with the member's default;
a later create storing a member otherwise than sent stays unexplained; sent tags stored sorted give a sorted echo; a
create embedding the shelf its `shelf_id` names gives a reference, and the list that shows the shelf by id and name
learns `nested_fields`.
- Serving: a create leaving the member out stores its default and one sending it stores it; a create embeds the named
shelf as the environment holds it, lists it with the listed keys, and is refused for a shelf it does not hold; sent
tags are stored sorted.
- Unit: references (the member named like the field among several, too few keys, a disagreeing value, an unheld entity)
and merges (a constant that differs, a member one fixes and the other accepts, a reference one call shows alone).
## Write plans over recorded captures
The 69 captures the derived-values branch measured: 50 published, 18 Claude Code recorded from a prompt, and one timed
Grafana recording. After merging main `ed79bf93` (which bounds create learning), the census was run again against main
with the scenario-timing branch: 124 served there, 132 with both branches, no write going from served to withheld; the
columns below are the measurements before that merge, whose totals it reproduces.
| Captures | Write plans | Served before both branches | Derived values | This branch |
| ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------- | -------------- | ----------- |
| 50 published | 187 | 68 | 68 | 70 |
| 19 recorded from a prompt | 120 | 56 | 61 | 62 |
- No write goes from served to withheld.
- Gains: Keycloak's published user create and update, whose list shows each user's `access` with one key, so a created
user now lists as recorded and its plan's sorted insert checks; and the round-4 Linkding bookmark create, whose tags
the application stores sorted.
- Explained but still withheld: Homebox's item create now merges with the location create, with references for
`parent`, `location` and `entityType` and `parentId` and `entityTypeId` accepted with any value. Its read-back list
answers items only, sorted by name, from a line with no parameter saying so, which the list model does not cover.
- Linkding's create whose later call sends `shared` merges too, and is withheld as `side-effect`: the recording also
added a bookmark through the UI that no recorded write explains.
## Served write tasks
The same captures rebuilt by the baseline and by this branch, with `fireworks_ai/gpt-oss-120b` and
`fireworks_ai/glm-5p3-flash`. The tasks are new; each checks the result from the environment's state, including that
nothing else changed.
| Capture | Tasks | Baseline (gpt-oss, GLM) | This branch (gpt-oss, GLM) |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Linkding, recorded round 4 | 2 bookmark creates, one with two tags | 0/2, 0/2 | 2/2, 2/2 |
| Keycloak, published capture | create a user, change another user's email | 0/2, 0/2 | 2/2, 2/2 |

# Implementation plan
1. **Clock formats.** A `trimmed` ISO format, `fixedWidth` on a clock reading, fitting a format to another value, and
calendar digits, in a clock formats module.
2. **Composed strings.** A module that indexes a create's candidate parts once, segments a string, checks the type's
other entities and an update's before value, and spells the string from written fields.
3. **Explaining.** Create explanation composes unexplained strings after templates, learns trimmed clocks from the
type and generated integers; update explanation composes unsent changes after the existing rules.
4. **Later calls.** A later create or update widens the plan's clocks to a trimmed spelling it shows; a later create's
unique value may be a generated integer.
5. **Serving.** Derived fields are rebuilt after other rules; unique integers are seeded by length and kind.
6. **Schema, tests and docs.** The plan schema, view, serving and unit tests, and the write-plan docs.
