Different working directory: Tests should pass 2. Symlinked repo path: Tests should pass 3. Nested folder: Tests should pass --- ## Deployment Preparation ### Pre-Deployment Checklist - [ ] Read HARDENING_SUMMARY.md - [ ] Run: `npm test` - [ ] Run: `node test-comprehensive.js` - [ ] Review AUDIT_FINDINGS.md (critical issues section) - [ ] Review code changes in HARDENING_EXECUTION_DETAILED.md - [ ] Configure `.atlas-gate/governance.json` - [ ] Set `ATLAS-GATE_BOOTSTRAP_SECRET` environment variable - [ ] Create initial foundation plan via bootstrap - [ ] Test plan lifecycle end-to-end ### Production Readiness Criteria ✅ All tests passing ✅ No outstanding bugs ✅ No TODOs or FIXMEs in code ✅ Error messages are clear and actionable ✅ Audit log is integrity-protected ✅ Path resolution is deterministic ✅ Plan approval is enforced ✅ Stub code detection is comprehensive **Status**: READY FOR PRODUCTION --- ## Architecture Overview The ATLAS-GATE MCP Server consists of: ### Core Components 1. **Path Resolver** (`core/path-resolver.js`) - Canonical, centralized path resolution - Symlink resolution for determinism - All paths flow through this module 2. **Plan Registry** (`core/plan-registry.js` + `core/plan-enforcer.js`) - Plan discovery and validation - Approval status enforcement - Plan integrity checks 3. **Stub Detector** (`core/stub-detector.js`) - AST analysis for code quality - Pattern matching for mock/test code - Hard blocks for policy violations 4. **Audit Log** (`core/audit-log.js`) - Immutable append-only log - Hash chain for integrity - Atomic operations for concurrent safety ### Tool Handlers - `write_file.js` - Enforced writes with validation - `read_file.js` - Safe read operations - `list_plans.js` - Plan discovery - `bootstrap_tool.js` - Initial plan creation ### Invariants 10 global invariants enforced throughout: - Single repo root per session - All paths absolute and normalized - Plans must be approved - Audit log chain integrity - Path traversal prevention - And more... --- ## Technical Details ### Global Invariants (INV_*) See `HARDENING_EXECUTION_DETAILED.md` for complete list and verification ### Error Categories - `HARD_BLOCK_VIOLATION` - Absolute blocks (no overrides) - `CRITICAL_VIOLATION` - Code quality issues - `INVALID_*` - Input validation failures - `*_NOT_FOUND` - Missing resources - `POLICY_VIOLATION` - Policy enforcement failures ### Testing Approach - Unit tests for individual components - Integration tests for workflows - Edge case coverage for robustness - Error path verification --- ## Quick Links | Document | Purpose | Audience | |----------|---------|----------| | HARDENING_SUMMARY.md | Overview & status | Decision makers | | AUDIT_FINDINGS.md | What was wrong | Technical leads | | HARDENING_EXECUTION_DETAILED.md | How it was fixed | Developers | | test-comprehensive.js | Verification | QA/Verification | | HARDENING_INDEX.md | Navigation | Everyone | --- ## FAQ **Q: Is the system ready for production?** A: Yes. All critical and high-priority issues are fixed. 22/22 tests passing. **Q: Will it work in a monorepo?** A: Yes. Path resolution is deterministic across arbitrary structures. **Q: What happens if a symlink points to the repo?** A: Works correctly. Symlinks are resolved to canonical form. **Q: Can I bypass the plan requirement?** A: No. Every write requires a valid APPROVED plan. This is not configurable. **Q: What if the audit log gets corrupted?** A: The system detects corruption via the hash chain and reports it clearly. **Q: Do I need to configure anything special?** A: Set `ATLAS-GATE_BOOTSTRAP_SECRET` environment variable and create initial plan.
