 # Copilot 1.0.88 rich ACP capability audit
 
-Audited 2026-09-28 against repository base `c65fc9e3c81c41aafe421aa90a00514b84343285`.
-Status: **candidate, not qualified**. Authenticated model discovery and exact model
-selection now pass. One canonical local protocol case and the local Product hello,
-file-edit, semantic plan and controller-restart cases passed through the real runner.
-A separate local question delivered and resumed, but failed its exact terminal-marker
-requirement. Daytona and the remaining qualification matrix remain pending. Two
-narrow real-service permission and detached-command probes also passed.
-Real executable offline probes cost $0; the live token receipt has no verified USD charge. The allocated live budget remains $25, subject to
-the shared $100 hard stop and verifiable spend. Do not expose this profile as
-supported until the required local and Daytona qualification passes.

+`sha256:bff4c3f291087a0eeae37e4c20dd51857b92833eaf73ba3aca4157f37de1e109`.
+Earlier question-marker, recovery, startup-timeout and PostgreSQL failures remain
+retained; later success does not establish causes for unresolved earlier failures.
+The new native-protection Product cases below have not run on the new source.
+
+Daytona sandbox-specific analytics stabilized across three reads at a provisional
+$0.0039682144 for the closed attempt interval; invoice finality and native per-run
+Copilot USD remain unknown. The Product list-price estimate was $0.0040321867.
+One exact owned sandbox was absent after the full 360-second cleanup observation;
+45 local PIDs retired and semaphore counts returned 255→266→255. The conditional
+720-second infrastructure bound was $0.053496. These are distinct accounting claims,
+not a zero-cost assertion. The allocated provider budget remains $25 within the
+shared $100 ceiling; no new paid attempt follows automatically from registration.
+Mac x64, the remaining Daytona workflows, broader permissions/background variants
+and complete rich-field projection remain unqualified.

 is reconnect evidence only; these cases do not establish provider-death recovery.
 They use public product APIs, real browser answers, and ordinary isolated files;
 no database writes, private hooks, or fabricated provider results are allowed.
+
+## Copilot native protection
+
+The explicit-only `copilot-protection` suite has two local, one-run cells (120s
+provider timeout, 300s attempt budget). `native-permission-deny-write` denies one
+exact native edit through its browser card, waits for the delivered rejection and
+failed tool, then cancels through the public run API. Its expected outcome is a
+cancelled run and an unfinished task, not successful task completion. It rejects
+extra native operations/runs and observes the absent target through process
+retirement. Filesystem event loss or an unexplained parent-directory timestamp
+change makes no-effect coverage incomplete; stat polling alone cannot pass.
+
+`attached-async-settlement` starts a fixed finite command with explicit async mode
+and `detach:false`, then asks the model to attempt immediate completion. A one-shot
+private local socket accepts only the fixture nonce, never an executable or command;
+the test owns/reaps a predeclared child and records its actual exit before releasing
+the provider-launched client. The independent marker, client retirement, native shell
+linkage and actual durable turn terminal must agree. Fixture resources close in a
+finally block. This establishes the tested finite attached-command behavior, not all
+background modes or detached-process settlement.
+
+Both cells consume bounded, origin-correlated `copilot_tool_evidence_v1` notices
+persisted through the ordinary run-event API. Missing, redacted, ambiguous or
+explicitly incomplete notices fail qualification. Old runtime artifacts therefore
+cannot qualify these cases. No prompt/title substitutes for native input, no raw
+command or arbitrary tool input is added to production event payloads, and no private
+runner hook or database write is used. The cases are registered but require a newly
+built source/pack and separately authorized paid execution before claiming Product
+qualification. Full restrictive-workflow completion remains separate: the negative
+case never auto-approves an uncorrelated later MCP permission.
+
+The Copilot protection cells explicitly select `per_turn` lifecycle. Their read-only
+process journal accepts the API runner PID only after checking its OS start time,
+process group, exact run ID argument and `per_turn` argument; it never treats a
+retained warm daemon as a leaked per-run process or signals an API-provided PID.
+Directory-watch coverage also rejects parent device/inode replacement or removal.
