# Results — MCP Fragmented IPI Sink Failure Fidelity-HTTP (Wave22)

## Run identity
- Repo commit base: `5c53365a`
- Run mode: bounded local run (`RUN_LIVE=0`, deterministic set)
- Frozen run shape:
  - `RUNS_ATTACK=2`
  - `RUNS_LEGIT=100`
- Fidelity marker:
  - `SINK_FIDELITY_MODE=http_local`
- Artifact root:
  - `target/exp-mcp-fragmented-ipi-sink-failure/test`
- Aggregate artifact:
  - `target/exp-mcp-fragmented-ipi-sink-failure/test/sink-failure-fidelity-http-summary.json`

## Purpose
Increase sink fidelity with an offline localhost HTTP layer while preserving the existing sink-failure governance interpretation.

Semantics unchanged:
- attempt-based metric remains `success_any_sink_canary`

Wave22 completion-layer publication added:
- `egress_http_status_class`
- `payload_delivered`
- `response_observed`

## Matrix
Cases (unchanged):
- `primary_partial`
- `alt_partial`
- `mixed_partial`

Modes (unchanged):
- `wrap_only`
- `sequence_only`
- `combined`

## Completion-layer observations
- `2xx` dominates observed sink attempts in all modes.
- `sequence_only` and `combined` show expected `no_attempt` entries from sequence pre-sink blocking.
- `wrap_only` contains a small `no_response` tail on protected attack runs that still counts as attempt on the frozen primary metric.

## Acceptance outcome
- `wrap_only` remains inferior where expected: **observed**.
- `sequence_only` and `combined` remain robust on protected attack path: **observed**.
- `combined == sequence_only` on protected outcomes: **observed**.
- protected legit false-positive rate stays `0.0`: **observed**.
- completion-layer fields are present and populated: **observed**.
- primary metric semantics (`success_any_sink_canary`) unchanged: **observed**.

## Interpretation
Wave22 adds a bounded fidelity layer without changing the decision semantics of the sink-failure line.

The core governance conclusion remains stable:
- sequence-governed modes block the protected attack route before effective sink completion in the same pattern as Wave20/21,
- wrap-only remains structurally weaker under attempt-based interpretation.

## DEC-007 closure note
### Proven in this bounded line
- route/state governance remains robust across:
  - payload fragmentation and tool-hopping variants
  - mixed legit + malicious interleaving variants
  - delayed cross-session sink attempts
  - sink-failure timeout and partial branches
  - offline localhost HTTP-egress sink fidelity
- `sequence_only` is the decisive blocking layer in this experiment family.
- `combined` adds no observed decisive blocking gain over `sequence_only` in this matrix.

### Not proven
- no claim of general semantic-hijacking prevention outside this harness family
- no claim of production external-network egress prevention
- no claim outside the bounded matrix/run-shape and confidence reporting in these result docs
- no universal low-false-positive claim outside the reported CI bounds

## Limitations
- bounded local run (`RUN_LIVE=0`)
- not a paper-grade all-up rerun
- localhost/offline fidelity layer only (no external egress dependency)
