The 'Temp files' convention bullet had a counter-example that
referenced the AppData path explicitly. The test
tests/test_tier2_slash_command_spec.py::test_agent_denies_temp_writes
catches this and asserts NO AppData path strings in the agent prompt.
Replaced the AppData path in the counter-example with a generic
'AppData is denied by the bash rule' reference.

Three changes to conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md:
1. Frontmatter permission.read / permission.write: removed the two
AppData allow rules; only the Tier 2 clone is allowed now.
2. Frontmatter permission.bash: added '*AppData\\\\*': deny (broader
pattern, in addition to the existing Temp-specific deny).
3. 'Hard Bans' section: rewrote the filesystem boundary line to say
'NEVER USE APPDATA' and point at the new deny rule.
4. 'Conventions / Temp files' bullet: replaced with inside-clone
conventions (scripts/tier2/state/, scripts/tier2/failures/,
scripts/tier2/artifacts/<track>/). Documents the 2026-06-18 reversal.
5. 'Failcount Contract' section: state path is now
scripts/tier2/state/<track>/state.json (Path.cwd()-relative).

The Tier 2 agent wrote audit_exception_handling.py output to
C:\\Users\\Ed\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\audit_initial.json via shell
redirection. This is OUTSIDE the sandbox allowlist (which is
C:\\projects\\manual_slop_tier2 + C:\\Users\\Ed\\AppData\\Local\\
manual_slop\\tier2 + C:\\Users\\Ed\\AppData\\Local\\manual_slop\\
tier2_failures). The OpenCode session-level guard fires the 'ask'
prompt for paths outside the project root, which has no answer in an
autonomous session, so ops halted mid-track.
Fix (3 layers):
1. opencode.json.fragment: add bash deny rule
'*AppData\\Local\\Temp\\*': 'deny' to BOTH the top-level
permission.bash (for default agents) and the tier2-autonomous
agent's permission.bash. The agent physically cannot run shell
commands that target the global Temp dir.
2. conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md: add 'Temp files'
convention telling the agent to use
C:\\Users\\Ed\\AppData\\Local\\manual_slop\\tier2\\ for scratch
/ audit-output / intermediate files, NOT %TEMP%.
3. conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md: same convention
in the slash command so the agent sees it at slash-command time.
Tests (default-on):
- test_agent_denies_temp_writes: agent prompt has the Temp deny in
frontmatter bash + the app-data dir note
- test_config_fragment_denies_temp_writes: both top-level and agent
bash have the deny rule
All 16 tier 2 slash command tests pass.
Also: cleaned up the leaked audit_initial.json + audit.json +
audit_after*.json from %TEMP% (they were leftovers from a prior
run). Re-ran setup against the live clone; opencode.json's agent
bash and top-level bash both have the deny rule.
User feedback from the first sandbox run (send_result_to_send_20260616,
2026-06-17) identified 6 conventions Tier 2 must follow. Update the agent
prompt template, slash command template, user guide, and workflow doc:
1. Test runner: ALWAYS use 'uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py'
(NOT 'uv run pytest'). The batched runner provides tier filtering,
parallelization (xdist), and a summary table that direct pytest lacks.
2. Default branch: this repo uses 'master', not 'main'. The Tier 2 slash
command now does 'git fetch origin master' (was 'origin main').
3. Line endings: preserve existing. This repo has a mix of CRLF and LF;
a repo-wide LF standardization is a future track.
4. Throw-away scripts: write to 'scripts/tier2/artifacts/<track>/', NOT
the base 'scripts/tier2/' directory. The base is reserved for
production code; throw-away scripts are kept for archival but
isolated per-track.
5. End-of-track report: write 'docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_<track>.md'
and update 'state.toml' to 'status=completed'. The user reads this
to decide merge. Previously this was implicit; now it's explicit.
6. Run-time expectation: tracks are 1-4 hours. If context runs out, Tier
2 notes progress to disk and continues. The --resume flag picks up
from the last completed task.
Also updated the user guide with a 'Conventions' section and a
troubleshooting entry for the resume flow. The verify-the-sandbox
checklist now uses 'origin master' instead of 'origin main'.
