Why: An agent bypassing the housestyle kit hand-assembled OOXML with
zipfile; the resulting pptx lacked masters, theme and docProps. Text
extraction succeeded and every existing check passed, so a package that
Office refuses to open reached the user as a deliverable.
Evidence: Focused Go suite covers a valid minimal pptx, the incident-
shaped package, nine chain-break variants and register-level integration;
the housestyle python suite adds BrokenPptxTests for masterless, kit-made
and unopenable files. Full combined suite receipt follows on the task
card before review.
Impact: register_artifact now runs a pure-Go OPC structural check for
docx/xlsx/pptx and refuses broken packages with a kit rebuild hint;
lint_pptx gains structure-broken assertions (master/theme/layout chain,
open-failure fallback) that template mode cannot downgrade; prompts
forbid hand-assembled OOXML and specify the missing-library fallback.

Why: Account disable could be followed by late Backend business writes, API key creation could implicitly create users, account bootstrap locks could invert, and directory cursors were process-local or leaked out-of-scope changes.
Evidence: Local go test ./... and isolated PostgreSQL package suites passed on the staged candidate; exact committed-head SELF replay and stage 6 human review remain pending.
Impact: Adds final account transactions and external-effect checks across HTTP, Host, Bus and run manager; tightens API key issuance and persists versioned cursor signing. Delegated RDM rename still needs the separately proposed real-operator contract, so A1 and stage 6 are not complete.

Why: The DOCX parser only read w:r runs that were direct children of w:p, so
text inside w:ins, w:hyperlink and w:fldSimple was dropped with no warning,
violating the no-silent-degradation rule. Separately, runtime.exec is a
user-writable setting, so multi-user deployments could not reliably turn the
exec primitives off.
Evidence: SELF - red tests TestParseDocxTrackedChangesAndHyperlinks and
TestExecHardDisabledOverridesSettings failed before and pass after; backend
go test ./... (32 packages) passes; a mock-mode binary started with
--disable-exec-tools hides run_shell/run_python/register_artifact from
/api/tools even after the user sets runtime.exec=true.
Impact: DOCX paragraphs are decoded from the token stream at any depth;
deleted/moved-from text, field codes and mc:Fallback are excluded and
revised documents carry an explicit warning. New Options.DisableExecTools
(SurfaceVersion 2.5.0-experimental), CLI --disable-exec-tools, config key
disableExecTools and env AGENT_SYSTEM_DISABLE_EXEC_TOOLS; zero value keeps
current behavior.

Why: Tool calls stayed invisible until execution finished, and turn, tool, timeout, and output caps stopped long tasks early.
Evidence: go test ./internal/runtime/ ./internal/tools/ ./internal/prompts/ ./internal/squadadapter/ ./internal/runmgr/ ./internal/app/ ./internal/settings/
Impact: tool.call.delta and tool.output reach the client; default profile, subagents, and squad no longer cap turns or tool calls; exec timeout defaults to 600s with no hard ceiling. A profile or subagent maxTurns above 0 still applies.

Why: deliverable prompts already tell the model to generate Office files
with run_python and register them, but the executors were never
registered, so calls missed the registry and fell back to text-only
write_artifact.
Evidence: go test ./... — 19 packages ok, including echo/script-retention,
empty-script and runtime.exec gate, process-group timeout, python ZIP
magic, and ExecuteTool backfill of register_artifact after run_python.
Scripts stay under the session .agent/ directory; bash/python3 are
resolved to absolute paths; timeout kills the process group.
Impact: models can execute workspace scripts and register binary
deliverables. runtime.exec=false still fail-closes the whole family.
Office extensions now get real MIME types so binary bytes are not
indexed as text.

Why: two field reports against the live build — deliverable cards never
appeared in chat (only model-written filenames) and the artifacts panel
felt dead. Root cause found in runmgr.ExecuteTool: registry tools that
write artifacts via rc.WriteArtifact never had res.Artifact set (only
the oversized-result path did), so llm.go never emitted artifact_ref
parts for real tool output; the unit suite passed via fakes that set
it directly. Architecturally, document generation moves back to the
agent (user directive): system provides execution primitives and the
delivery bridge, not domain tools like write_docx.
Evidence:
- runmgr: toolCtx tracks artifacts written during a call and
ExecuteTool backfills res.Artifact (new runmgr test proves
write_artifact now surfaces one; negative test: no phantom artifact)
- new tools/register_artifact: bridge from workspace files (binary
docx/xlsx/pptx/pdf/images, <=10MB) to deliverable artifacts;
run_shell/run_python interpreter executors are designed
(script-to-disk + whitelisted bash/python3, sandbox cwd, caps) and
land in a follow-up batch behind the security gate decision
- removed builtin write_docx + its prompt; write_artifact prompt now
text-only with explicit no-binary guidance; new always-on base
prompt base.deliverables teaches the generate->register->summarize
workflow with python-docx/openpyxl/python-pptx recipes;
task.doc-minutes rewritten to the workflow
- final-output contract: inline <think> blocks in streamed content are
split into thinking (process) parts so the final reply stays clean
(unit + runner tests)
- go test ./... 19 packages ok; vet clean
Impact: every tool artifact now lands as an in-chat deliverable card;
mock #doc unchanged as demo fixture; binary office mimes stay out of
the text index; write_docx callers see the tool gone (prompt reroutes
them).
