Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Add an unattended Tier 2 execution mode in a sibling clone (C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2\) with a 3-layer enforcement stack (OpenCode permissions + Windows restricted token + git hooks), a bounded autonomous run with a failcount threshold, and an opt-in test suite.
Architecture: Bootstrap creates the sibling clone + installs the agent profile / slash command / git hooks templates. A PowerShell wrapper acquires a Windows restricted token and launches OpenCode under that token. The Tier 2 slash command fetches the spec, creates a feature branch, runs the plan, monitors failcount, and writes a markdown failure report on give-up. Default uv run pytest stays app-focused; sandbox tests are env-var-gated.
Tech Stack: Python 3.11+ (failcount + report + CLI), PowerShell 7+ (wrapper + bootstrap), OpenCode permission system, Windows restricted tokens + ACLs, Git 2.23+ (uses git switch, not git checkout), pytest (with pytest.mark.skipif opt-in pattern).
Spec: conductor/tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/spec.md
Scope: 7 new files in main repo (1 Python module, 1 Python CLI, 2 PowerShell scripts, 1 markdown slash command, 1 markdown agent template, 1 JSON config fragment, 2 git hook templates, 1 user guide) + 4 new test files + 1 sibling clone at C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2\ created by the bootstrap.

Task 3.1: Create the tier-2-auto-execute.md slash command template
- Step 1: Write the slash command
<!-- conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md -->
---
description: Autonomously execute a conductor track in the Tier 2 sandbox
agent: tier2-autonomous
---
# /tier-2-auto-execute
Run a track autonomously in the Tier 2 sandboxed mode. No `permission: ask` prompts.
## Arguments
$ARGUMENTS - Track name (required). Examples: `result_migration_review_pass`, `data_structure_strengthening_20260606`.
Optional flags: `--resume` (continue from last completed task), `--toast` (Windows toast on give-up).
## Pre-flight
1. **Verify sandbox is active.** This slash command must be invoked from a sandboxed OpenCode session. If `manual-slop_get_ui_performance` returns an error or the run_tier2_sandboxed.ps1 wrapper is not in the parent process, refuse to start.
2. **Load the track spec.** Read `conductor/tracks/<track-name>/spec.md` and `plan.md` from the current branch. If the track does not exist, abort.
3. **Check for a previous run.** If `<app-data>/tier2/<track-name>/state.json` exists AND `--resume` is NOT set, abort with: "Previous run found for this track. Use `--resume` to continue, or delete the state file to start fresh."
## Protocol
1. `git fetch origin main`
2. `git switch -c tier2/<track-name> origin/main` (NOT `git checkout` - it is banned)
3. Initialize failcount state at `<app-data>/tier2/<track-name>/state.json` (use `load_state` or fresh state)
4. For each task in `plan.md`:
a. Red: delegate test creation to @tier3-worker
b. Run tests; if pass unexpectedly, call `record_red_failure` and check `should_give_up`
c. Green: delegate implementation to @tier3-worker
d. Run tests; if fail, call `record_green_failure` and check `should_give_up`
e. On green: `record_commit` and `record_green_success` (resets counters)
f. Commit per task with `git add . && git commit -m "..."` and attach git note
g. Update `plan.md` with commit SHA
5. After all tasks complete, print success summary.
6. On give-up: call `write_failure_report` from `scripts.tier2.write_report`, print "TRACK ABORTED, see report at <path>".
## Hard Bans (enforced by 3 layers)
- `git restore*` (any form) — denied
- `git push*` (any push) — denied
- `git checkout*` (any form) — denied; use `git switch` instead
- `git reset*` (any form) — denied
Filesystem access is restricted to the Tier 2 clone + `<app-data>/manual_slop/tier2/`. The Windows restricted token blocks reads/writes outside these paths at the OS level.
- Step 2: Verify the file is valid markdown frontmatter
Run: uv run python -c "import re; content = open('conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md').read(); m = re.match(r'---\n(.*?)\n---\n', content, re.DOTALL); assert m; print('frontmatter OK')"
Expected: frontmatter OK
- Step 3: Commit
git add conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md
git commit -m "feat(tier2): create tier-2-auto-execute slash command template"
Task 3.2: Create the tier2-autonomous.md agent template
- Step 1: Write the agent prompt
<!-- conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md -->

STRICT SYSTEM DIRECTIVE: You are a Tier 2 Tech Lead in AUTONOMOUS mode.
You are running inside a Windows restricted token. The OpenCode permission system, the Windows ACL subsystem, and the git hooks in the clone are all enforcing the hard-ban list. A bypass of one layer is caught by another.
## Hard Bans (cannot run, enforced at 3 layers)
- `git push*` (any push) - the user pushes the branch after review
- `git checkout*` (any form) - use `git switch -c` for new branches, `git switch` to switch
- `git restore*` (any form) - do not restore files
- `git reset*` (any form) - do not reset state
- File access outside the Tier 2 clone + `C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\manual_slop\tier2\` - the OS blocks it
## Failcount Contract
After every task commit, you MUST check `should_give_up` from `scripts.tier2.failcount`. The state is persisted at `<app-data>/tier2/<track>/state.json`. The thresholds are:
- 3 consecutive red-phase failures
- 3 consecutive green-phase failures
- 30 minutes with no progress (no commit, no green test)
If `should_give_up` returns True, IMMEDIATELY stop. Do not attempt another fix. Call `write_failure_report` from `scripts.tier2.write_report` and print the report path.
## TDD Protocol
Same as the interactive Tier 2: Red (write failing test, run, confirm fail) -> Green (implement, run, confirm pass) -> Refactor (optional) -> commit per task.
## Pre-Delegation Checkpoint
Before each Tier 3 worker delegation, run `git add .` to stage prior work. This is a safety net: if the worker fails or incorrectly runs `git restore`, your prior iterations are not lost.
## Per-Task Commit Protocol
After each task:
1. `git add <specific files>` (not `git add .` for individual commits)
2. `git commit -m "<type>(<scope>): <description>"`
3. Get the commit hash: `git log -1 --format="%H"`
4. Attach git note: `git notes add -m "Task: ..." <hash>`
5. Update `plan.md`: change `[ ]` to `[x] <sha>` for the task
6. Commit the plan update: `git add plan.md && git commit -m "conductor(plan): Mark task complete"`
## Limitations
- You do NOT push the branch. The user fetches it back to main and reviews with Tier 1 (interactive).
- You do NOT merge to main. The user decides.
- You do NOT run the Manual Slop GUI. The MCP server runs under the same restricted token but the GUI itself is not part of the sandbox.
- Step 2: Verify frontmatter is valid
Run: uv run python -c "import re; content = open('conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md').read(); m = re.match(r'---\n(.*?)\n---\n', content, re.DOTALL); assert m; print('frontmatter OK')"
Expected: frontmatter OK
- Step 3: Commit
git add conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md
git commit -m "feat(tier2): create tier2-autonomous agent profile template"
Task 3.3: Create the opencode.json.fragment config template
- Step 1: Write the config fragment

.SYNOPSIS
One-time bootstrap for the Tier 2 autonomous sandbox.
.DESCRIPTION
Clones the main repo to C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2\, sets origin
to the main repo's local path, copies the agent/command/opencode.json
templates, installs the git hooks, creates the app-data temp dir with
restricted ACLs, and creates a "Tier 2 (Sandboxed)" desktop shortcut.
Idempotent: re-running updates templates and re-fetches, but does not
destroy existing feature branches in the clone.

Acquires a Windows restricted token (drops dangerous privileges),
sets explicit ACLs on the Tier 2 clone + app-data dir, wraps the
process tree in a Job Object, and launches OpenCode + the MCP server
under the restricted token.

[tool.pytest.ini_options]section inpyproject.toml
Run: grep -n "tool.pytest.ini_options" pyproject.toml
Expected: a line number
- Step 2: Add the markers to the existing markers list (or create it)

"tier2_sandbox: opt-in sandbox tests (set TIER2_SANDBOX_TESTS=1)",
"tier2_smoke: opt-in full e2e (set TIER2_SANDBOX_TESTS=1 TIER2_SMOKE=1)",
If there is no existing markers list, add the whole block.
- Step 3: Verify pytest collects the markers

# Smoke Track: trivial doc-file addition
## Overview
A 1-task track that just adds a single doc file. Used by the smoke e2e
test to verify the full Tier 2 pipeline (bootstrap + branch + commit).
## Goals
- Add `tests/artifacts/tier2_smoke_track/added.md` with one line of content
- Commit the file on a feature branch
- Verify the branch exists with 1 commit
## Functional Requirements
- FR1: create the file with content "smoke test ok\n"
- FR2: commit with message "test(tier2): smoke e2e track"
## Out of Scope
- Anything else.
- Step 2: Create the smoke track plan
<!-- tests/artifacts/tier2_smoke_track/plan.md -->
# Implementation Plan: smoke track

# Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox
## Why this exists
When you run Tier 2 in the main repo, every `edit` and every `bash`
call prompts you for approval (`permission: ask`). For well-regularized
tracks (TDD red/green with atomic per-task commits), this is noise.
This track adds an **autonomous mode** in a sibling clone where Tier 2
runs unattended, with a 3-layer enforcement stack to keep it contained.
## One-time bootstrap
```powershell
cd C:\projects\manual_slop
pwsh -File scripts\tier2\setup_tier2_clone.ps1 -WhatIf # dry run first
pwsh -File scripts\tier2\setup_tier2_clone.ps1 # actual bootstrap
The bootstrap:
- Clones the main repo to
C:\projects\manual_slop_tier2\ - Sets
origin = C:\projects\manual_slop(local path; no remote) - Copies the agent, slash command, and opencode.json templates to the clone
- Installs the git hooks (
pre-pushrefuses all pushes;post-checkoutlogs checkouts) - Creates
C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\manual_slop\tier2\with restricted ACLs - Creates a "Tier 2 (Sandboxed)" desktop shortcut
Per-track invocation
- Double-click the "Tier 2 (Sandboxed)" desktop shortcut
(or run
pwsh -File C:\projects\manual_slop\scripts\tier2\run_tier2_sandboxed.ps1manually) - In the OpenCode session, type:
Examples:
/tier-2-auto-execute <track-name>/tier-2-auto-execute result_migration_review_pass/tier-2-auto-execute data_structure_strengthening_20260606 --resume/tier-2-auto-execute rag_test_failures_20260615 --toast
- Tier 2 runs the track autonomously, commits per task, monitors failcount
- On success: prints a summary
- On give-up: writes a failure report and prints the path
Review and merge
After Tier 2 finishes (success or give-up):
cd C:\projects\manual_slop(back to main)git fetch C:/projects/manual_slop_tier2 tier2/<track-name>- Review the diff with Tier 1 (interactive)
- On approval:
git merge --no-ff tier2/<track-name>to main
The 4 hard bans (enforced at 3 layers)
| Ban | Layer 1 (OpenCode) | Layer 2 (OS) | Layer 3 (git hook) |
|---|---|---|---|
git push* (any push) |
permission.bash deny rule |
n/a | pre-push hook refuses all pushes |
git checkout* (any form) |
permission.bash deny rule |
n/a | post-checkout hook logs the checkout |
git restore* (any form) |
permission.bash deny rule |
n/a | n/a |
git reset* (any form) |
permission.bash deny rule |
n/a | n/a |
| File access outside Tier 2 clone + app-data dir | permission.read/write path allowlist |
Windows ACL | n/a |
The failcount threshold
Tier 2 gives up if ANY of these hit:
- 3 consecutive red-phase failures (the test doesn't fail when it should)
- 3 consecutive green-phase failures (the implementation doesn't make the test pass)
- 30 minutes with no progress (no commit, no green test)
Override via scripts/tier2/failcount.toml.
The failure report
Written to C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\manual_slop\tier2_failures\<track>_<timestamp>.md with 7 sections:
- Header (track, branch, started, stopped, duration, give-up signal)
- Tasks completed
- Current task (where it stopped)
- Last 3 failures
- Failcount state
- Git state (
git log tier2/<track> ^origin/main) - Recommendation (heuristic-based)
A .STOPPED flag file is created alongside the report. The main repo
can check for it on next Tier 1 session start (an opt-in banner).
Verify the sandbox (manual checklist)
After bootstrap, run these inside the Tier 2 sandboxed OpenCode session to verify the bans are enforced:
- Try
git restore tests/test_failcount.py— should print "denied" - Try
git push origin main— should print "denied" (or the pre-push hook fires) - Try
git checkout -- src/foo.py— should print "denied" - Try
git reset --hard HEAD~1— should print "denied" - Try to read
C:\Users\Ed\Documents\test.txt(from a Python subprocess) — should print "ACCESS_DENIED"
And verify allowed operations work:
git status— worksgit switch -c test-branch— works- Edit a file in the Tier 2 clone — works
git add <file> && git commit -m "test"— works
Troubleshooting
- "Tier 2 (Sandboxed) shortcut doesn't work": check that
pwsh.exeis on the PATH (where.exe pwsh). - "Permission denied" on file access inside the sandbox: the
Windows ACL may be too restrictive. Re-run the bootstrap
(
setup_tier2_clone.ps1is idempotent). - "Failcount state not found": the
<app-data>/tier2/<track>/dir may be missing. The bootstrap creates it; check$env:LOCALAPPDATA. - "Pre-push hook not firing": check that
.git/hooks/pre-pushis executable. On Windows, Git Bash runs the hook; checkgit config core.hooksPathif you have a custom hooks dir. - "Tier 2 keeps giving up at 30 min": increase
no_progress_minutesinscripts/tier2/failcount.toml.
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the file is valid markdown (no broken links)**
Run: `uv run python -c "from pathlib import Path; p = Path('docs/guide_tier2_autonomous.md'); assert p.exists(); print(f'{len(p.read_text())} bytes')"`
Expected: a number of bytes printed

```bash
git add docs/guide_tier2_autonomous.md
git commit -m "docs(tier2): add user guide for Tier 2 autonomous sandbox"
Task 9.2: Update conductor/tracks.md with the new track
- Step 1: Find the appropriate section in
conductor/tracks.md
Read the top of conductor/tracks.md to find where the active tracks
list lives. Add an entry for tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616.
- Step 2: Add the row to the active tracks table
Add a row to the "Active Tracks (Current Queue)" table:
| 25 | A | [Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox](#track-tier-2-autonomous-sandbox-new-2026-06-16) | spec ✓, plan ✓, ready to start | (none — independent; **NEW 2026-06-16**; meta-tooling; eliminates the `permission: ask` bottleneck for well-regularized tracks) |
Then add the corresponding section heading further down:
### Track: Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox (NEW 2026-06-16)
[./tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/](./tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/)
- Step 3: Commit
git add conductor/tracks.md
git commit -m "conductor(plan): register tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616 in tracks.md"
Task 9.3: Create metadata.json
- Step 1: Write the metadata

}
- Step 2: Verify the JSON is valid
Run: uv run python -c "import json; print(json.load(open('conductor/tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/metadata.json')))"
Expected: dict printed
- Step 3: Commit
git add conductor/tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/metadata.json
git commit -m "conductor(plan): add metadata.json for tier2_autonomous_sandbox"
Task 9.4: Final Conductor - User Manual Verification
Verify the complete track:
uv run pytest(no env vars) — all default-on tests pass, all opt-in tests skipTIER2_SANDBOX_TESTS=1 uv run pytest— sandbox-layer tests passTIER2_SANDBOX_TESTS=1 TIER2_SMOKE=1 uv run pytest— full e2e passes- The user guide renders correctly in a markdown viewer
- The track is registered in
conductor/tracks.md - The spec + plan + metadata.json are all present in
conductor/tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/
Self-Review (against the spec)
1. Spec coverage:
| Spec FR | Covered by |
|---|---|
| FR1.1, FR1.2, FR1.3 (bootstrap) | Phase 5 Tasks 5.1, 5.2 |
| FR2.1, FR2.2, FR2.3 (tier2-autonomous agent) | Phase 3 Tasks 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 |
| FR3.1, FR3.2, FR3.3 (sandboxed launcher) | Phase 6 Task 6.1 |
| FR4.1, FR4.2, FR4.3, FR4.4 (slash command) | Phase 3 Task 3.1 + Phase 4 Tasks 4.1, 4.2 |
| FR5.1, FR5.2, FR5.3, FR5.4 (failcount) | Phase 1 Tasks 1.3-1.15 |
| FR6.1, FR6.2, FR6.3, FR6.4 (report writer) | Phase 2 Tasks 2.1-2.4 |
| FR7.1, FR7.2, FR7.3 (git hooks) | Phase 7 Tasks 7.1, 7.2 |
| FR8.1, FR8.2 (user guide) | Phase 9 Task 9.1 |
| FR9.1 (failcount tests, default-on) | Phase 1 Tasks 1.2-1.15 |
| FR9.2 (slash command spec test, default-on) | Phase 3 Task 3.4 |
| FR9.3 (bootstrap test, opt-in) | Phase 8 Task 8.3 |
| FR9.4 (sandbox enforcement test, opt-in) | Phase 8 Task 8.4 |
| FR9.5 (report writer test, opt-in) | Phase 2 Tasks 2.1, 2.3 |
| FR9.6 (smoke e2e test, opt-in) | Phase 8 Tasks 8.2, 8.5 |
2. Placeholder scan: No TBD/TODO in the plan. The "TODO" comments in Task 4.2 are explicit anchors for subsequent tasks, not placeholders. All PowerShell and Python code is complete.
3. Type consistency: FailcountState is consistent across failcount.py and all tests. TaskResult is consistent across write_report.py and all tests. compute_report_path / compute_stopped_flag_path signatures are consistent.
4. Spec requirements with no task: none — all 9 sections of FRs are covered.
Self-review verdict: plan is ready for user review.
Execution Handoff
Plan complete and saved to conductor/tracks/tier2_autonomous_sandbox_20260616/plan.md.
Two execution options:
1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) — I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration. Best for this track because Phase 1 (15+ tests + module) benefits from focused per-task work.
2. Inline Execution — Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints. Best if you want to watch the implementation happen in real-time.
Which approach?
