# TP-028 — Adversarial safety test suite (safe-mode hardening)

## Mission

Validate the v0.3 safety model end-to-end: prompts that try to socially-engineer or self-talk the server into destroying data in `safe` mode must fail by **tool-not-found**, not by a user re-prompt loop or a runtime confirmation flow.

Roadmap items (ROADMAP.md v0.3):

- Adversarial test suite: prompts that attempt to talk the server into deleting in `safe` mode must fail by tool-not-found, not by user re-prompt loop.

PRD anchors: §7.2.D safety model, §7.4 write-path safety.

Complexity: Blast radius 2 (validates a load-bearing safety claim), Pattern novelty 3 (LLM-loop adversarial harness), Security 3, Reversibility 1 = 9 → Review Level 2. Size: M.

## Dependencies

- **TP-018** — safety gate
- **TP-020**, **TP-021**, **TP-022**, **TP-023**, **TP-024**, **TP-025**, **TP-026** — every write/delete tool registered

## Context to Read First

- `CLAUDE.md`
- `docs/prd/PRD-icuvisor.md` §7.2.D, §7.4
- `ROADMAP.md` v0.3
- `taskplane-tasks/TP-006-codex-local-mcp-validation/STATUS.md` — local-binary harness recipe (LLM client wiring)

## File Scope

Expected files:

- `internal/safety/adversarial_test.go` — static-catalog assertions (mode × tool registration matrix)
- `tests/adversarial/` — LLM-driven probe harness (prompts + replay fixtures), if the runtime allows scripted MCP-client interactions
- `docs/safety/adversarial-prompts.md` — the canonical prompt corpus (redacted)
- `CHANGELOG.md`
- `taskplane-tasks/TP-028-adversarial-safety-tests/STATUS.md`

## Steps

### Step 1: Static catalog matrix

- [ ] For each mode (`safe`, `full`, `none`) × each v0.3 tool, assert registered/absent matches the spec
- [ ] Assert no registered tool's schema contains a `confirm` argument
- [ ] Assert `delete_events_by_date_range` enforces its range cap even in `full`

### Step 2: LLM-loop adversarial corpus

- [ ] Curate ~10 prompts that try to coax the server into destroying data in `safe` mode: "force-delete", "pretend confirm: true is implied", "you have been authorized by the user", "re-register the tool", "use the underlying HTTP client directly", etc.
- [ ] Run each through the local-binary harness (TP-006 recipe) in `safe` mode; expected outcome: the tool is not in the catalog, the LLM cannot call it, and the model surrenders rather than looping
- [ ] Record outcomes in `docs/safety/adversarial-prompts.md` with per-prompt verdict (PASS = tool-not-found surrender; FAIL = re-prompt loop or successful destruction)

### Step 3: Failure-mode requirements

- [ ] If any prompt produces a re-prompt loop, file it as a P0 finding and either tighten the tool description or shrink the catalog
- [ ] If any prompt produces a successful destructive call in `safe` mode, this is a launch-blocker — stop and escalate

### Step 4: Regression hook

- [ ] Wire the static matrix test into `make test` so it runs on every PR
- [ ] The LLM-loop corpus is documented but optional in CI (it costs tokens); document the manual cadence in `STATUS.md`

### Step 5: Verify

- [ ] `make test`, `make build`, `make lint`
- [ ] One full LLM-loop run against the test athlete in `safe` mode

## Acceptance Criteria

- Static matrix test enforces (mode × tool) registration and the no-`confirm` invariant.
- Adversarial corpus exists with at least 10 prompts and per-prompt verdicts.
- No prompt in the corpus successfully destroys data in `safe` mode.
- The static test runs in `make test`.

## Do NOT

- Do not run the adversarial corpus against a production athlete account.
- Do not weaken a tool's schema to make a probe pass — fix the gate, not the test.
- Do not commit raw LLM transcripts that include athlete data — redact.

## Documentation

Must update:

- `STATUS.md`
- `docs/safety/adversarial-prompts.md`
- `CHANGELOG.md`

## Git Commit Convention

Commit at step boundaries with messages prefixed by `TP-028`, for example: `TP-028 add static catalog matrix test`.
