 ## Tests
 
-`tests/conftest.py` gives every test a clean environment: the variables the tool, the Action runner and the gate scripts read (`NEXUS_SYMBIOTE_*`, `SYMBIOTE_*`, `GITHUB_*`, `GH_TOKEN`, colour and width settings) are removed, and `HOME` and the XDG directories point at a private temporary directory. A test that leaves an operating mode enforced fails. Use the `runner` fixture for a `CliRunner` and `tests/support.py`'s `load_script` (or the `load_script` fixture) to import a script from `scripts/`; do not import one test module from another.

 Each test has a time limit and fails with its traceback when it hangs, instead of using up the CI job's budget: `test_timeout` in `pyproject.toml` (300 seconds, for loaded development machines), tightened to 120 seconds in CI (240 under coverage). Mark a known slow test with `@pytest.mark.timeout(seconds)`, and give every `subprocess.run` in a test its own `timeout` as well. To show that parsing a hostile input stays linear, compare two input sizes with `tests.support.scaling_ratio` instead of asserting a duration: a busy runner or coverage tracing slows both sizes alike.

 # Security policy
 
+Nexus SymBiote is an Agent Bill of Materials toolkit. It is not related to Symbiote, the Linux malware of the same name reported in 2022.

 Nexus SymBiote is alpha security tooling. Inventory, signature verification, and policy decisions have different meanings. A successful scan or low risk score does not establish that an agent, model, dataset, or tool is benign.

 Treat ShadowScan reports, CycloneDX imports, A2A cards, IDE settings, and extension manifests as untrusted inputs. A discovery record does not grant authority or authenticate the discovered endpoint. Verify the expected subject, signer, tenant, time, and policy before upgrading a claim. Never grant deployment or publication credentials to the import job merely to parse a report.
 
-To require that a merged inventory's ShadowScan evidence comes from a signed report, name the report in an operator signature policy kept outside the checkout and pass it to `validate --project` or `risk --project` ([require a signed report in CI](docs/shadowscan-integration.md#require-a-signed-report-in-ci)). Setting `validate.require_discovery_signature: true` in the project policy also turns the check on. The content digest that `diff` compares detects drift; it does not authenticate a report.

Without a producer check in the same run, `import-shadowscan`, `validate` and `risk` treat discovery evidence as unverified: they warn, and fail when a CI variable such as `CI` or `GITHUB_ACTIONS` is set, unless `--allow-unsigned-discovery` is given. The verification outcome the BOM records is unsigned, so it is reported and never trusted. Offline Sigstore verification trusts the cached trust root only when its directories and file are private to the user, or uses an explicit one (`--trust-root`, `NEXUS_SYMBIOTE_SIGSTORE_TRUST_ROOT`), optionally pinned by SHA-256 ([known limitations](docs/known-limitations.md#signatures)).

 Confined file operations and pinned stdio launchers require POSIX descriptor-relative and no-follow primitives. Unsupported platforms fail closed rather than weakening those checks. Hard links are regular files: a hard-linked file inside the scanned root is read and hashed like any other, so an inventory can describe an inode that also has a name outside the root. Run static collection with the content author's privileges rather than as root, on hosts with `fs.protected_hardlinks=1`, and extract untrusted archives with a tool that refuses link targets outside the destination (GNU tar, or Python `tarfile` with `filter='data'`). The configured hosted matrix targets Ubuntu with Python 3.11 through 3.14; it does not qualify macOS or Windows support.

 Gates and `diff` compare what the collectors record. These limits matter most; the [known limitations](docs/known-limitations.md) list every limit by surface, with what to do about each.
 
-- **What no collector reads passes every gate.** An MCP server started from application code, a Codex setting other than its approval, sandbox and MCP server settings, or an instruction file under a name the `prompt` collector does not read is not a coverage gap. `validate`, `risk` and `diff --fail-on-alert` pass when it changes.
-- **Changed values need `NEXUS_SYMBIOTE_SOURCE_BINDING_KEY`.** Without it, `diff` does not alert on a changed MCP argument, environment or header value, or on a URL path changed on the same host: any MCP endpoint path, and an A2A or RAG path of the same depth.
+- **What no collector reads passes every gate.** An MCP server whose source reaches the SDK through an alias resolved outside the file, such as a tsconfig `paths` entry or a `#` subpath import, a settings file the `ide_agents` collector does not recognize, such as `.vscode/settings.json` or a host's user or managed settings, or an instruction file under a name the `prompt` collector does not read, such as a nested `CLAUDE.local.md`, is not a coverage gap. `validate`, `risk` and `diff --fail-on-alert` pass when it changes.
+- **Changed values need `NEXUS_SYMBIOTE_SOURCE_BINDING_KEY`.** Without it, `diff` does not alert on a changed MCP argument, environment or header value, on a value the redaction removes from Codex `config.toml`, `.cursor/cli.json` or the Antigravity, xAI and Copilot settings files, such as a token, an environment value or a URL path, query or userinfo on the same host in a `notify` command (a command or operator glued to such a value does alert, and so does a host glued to it after an operator or another URL scheme, such as `https://a.example/n,https://b.example`), or on a URL path changed on the same host: any MCP endpoint path, and an A2A or RAG path of the same depth.
 - **MCP launchers are classified only in named shapes.** Other commands are recorded as local programs, and what a local program or project script runs is not read.
 - **Some claims are not verified.** OpenSSF Model Signing signatures are not verified, and ShadowScan producer verification is opt-in and does not bind a report to a commit or time. Without `--project`, `validate` and `risk` check only the inventory's own claims.
 - **A pull request can weaken its own gate** through `.nexus-symbiote.yaml` or the workflow file. Pass `--no-project-policy`, and require the workflow through an organization ruleset or a `pull_request_target` job.
