From fec47fcf06e1c3524a1ebad28868b7934f672726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian O'Kelley Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:12:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(editorial): untrusted-input helper + illustration tool wiring (#2782, #2783) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two small defensive bundles closing expert-review follow-ups. #2782 — untrusted-input helper - Extract the tag-wrapping + neutralization pattern from list_pending_content into server/src/addie/mcp/ untrusted-input.ts. Exports neutralizeUntrustedTags, neutralizeAndTruncate, wrapUntrustedInput. - list_pending_content now uses the shared helper — no behavior change, just consolidation so future reviewer tools don't have to reinvent the boundary. - 13 unit tests cover the tag-matching regex (both directions, case variations, multiple sequences), truncation-of-cleaned-string semantics, and wrapper API. #2783 — illustration tools wired into request scope - ILLUSTRATION_TOOLS and createIllustrationToolHandlers were exported but never imported anywhere. System prompt referenced generate_perspective_illustration as callable, but Sonnet couldn't actually call it — the handler wasn't in the merged tool map, so any attempt would fail silently or hallucinate success. - Register per-request in both handler.ts and bolt-app.ts's createUserScopedTools with the existing author-of-perspective gate, 5-per-month quota, and the 10/10min tool-call rate limit added in #2755. - Add check_illustration_status + generate_perspective_illustration to ALWAYS_AVAILABLE_TOOLS so the router doesn't filter them out. Tests: 1734 unit tests pass (13 new on untrusted-input, plus router-allowlist check for illustration tools). Typecheck clean.

Exposes `neutralizeUntrustedTags`, `neutralizeAndTruncate`, and `wrapUntrustedInput`.
