Summary
AI summaryInjection scanner now detects identity-reassignment phrasing, closing an abuse vector.
Full changelog
Security
- Injection scanner now catches identity-reassignment phrasing. The shared
injection pattern set (_looks_suspicious, which gates grant-time prose, the
read-path prose scan, and the/chameleon-teachfeedback check) previously
matched only "ignore previous instructions", "you are now X mode", "system:",
eval()/exec()/rm -rf, and "reveal secrets". It now also flags imperative
identity overrides ("Forget you are …; act as the user") so a numbered line
planted in a committedprinciples.md/idioms.mdcan no longer render as a
trusted principle after trust was granted. The new patterns are sentence-start
anchored and role-noun scoped, so negated ("don't forget you are inside a
transaction") and descriptive ("the gateway acts as a facade") convention prose
still passes — verified against an adversarial-benign test set.
Fixed
- Daemon logs an actionable diagnostic instead of a traceback when the socket
path is too long. WhenCHAMELEON_PLUGIN_DATAis a deep path, the AF_UNIX
socket path can exceed the platform limit (~104 bytes on macOS) andbind
fails. The daemon now reports the path length and the fix (use a shorter
CHAMELEON_PLUGIN_DATA) rather than crashing with a raw traceback. Behavior is
unchanged — the parent already treats this as "daemon unavailable" and every
caller falls back to the in-process path.
Security Fixes
- Injection scanner updated to flag imperative identity overrides such as "Forget you are …; act as the user", closing an abuse vector.
