…t#2644) Address findings from Opus 4.7 + GPT-5.5 cross-model review of PR microsoft#2644: * Widen the IntentManager try/except in _execute_inner to cover every attribute read we depend on (.allowed/.reason/.was_planned/.trust_penalty/.drift_policy_applied). A partial or misbehaving IntentManager implementation now fails closed with SIGKILL + intent_error metadata instead of bubbling an AttributeError as a 500. Adds regression test test_execute_fails_closed_on_partial_intent_manager using a stub that only returns .allowed/.reason. * Strip caller-supplied 'approved' from params unconditionally on key presence (not truthiness) in both _check_policies and _execute_inner. Prevents falsy values (approved=False/0/'') from being forwarded to IntentManager.check_action or _execute_action where future handlers could mis-interpret key presence as caller intent (defense in depth — GPT-5.5 finding). * Add CHANGELOG entry for the mcp_kernel_server.tools.KernelExecuteTool._check_policies bypass closure, including a breaking-change park-note that file_write/send_email are now unconditionally denied until issue microsoft#2650 adds a trusted-approval injection point. Add a CHANGELOG migration bullet that AGENT_OS_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_EXECUTE=true now raises ValueError at GovServer construction. Document the new _check_policies keyword-only argument and return-shape additions. * Move 'import logging' to module level in mcp_kernel_server/tools.py and add module-level logger = logging.getLogger(__name__), matching the repo's logging convention. * Rewrite ExecuteRequest.agent_id docstring to drop the misleading 'Deprecated' lead — the field is now consistency-enforced, not deprecated. * Add test_execute_programmatic_kwarg_requires_local_environment asserting GovServer(allow_unauthenticated_execute=True) without AGENT_OS_ENV=local raises ValueError, locking in the gate against programmatic-kwarg bypass. * Revert isort-only import reorderings in tests/test_stateless.py that were unrelated scope creep in the previous commit. Follow-up issues filed: microsoft#2650 (mcp trusted-approval injection point), microsoft#2651 (cli/mcp_scan _ALLOW_ALL_COMMANDS review), microsoft#2652 (policies/backends OPA trust review), microsoft#2653 (caas/iatp/observability FastAPI sweep). Tests: 251 pass (test_stateless + test_server + test_safety_critical + mcp test_tools + test_intent + test_intent_hardened). Ruff clean on changed lines.

Auth bypass fixes - critical. Ship it.
…xecute API
Three same-class authorization fixes identified in security review:
1. stateless._check_policies: caller-supplied params['approved']=True no longer satisfies requires_approval gates. Approval must flow through the trusted IntentManager path; unplanned drift on restricted actions is now denied. The legacy flag is stripped from params before action execution.
2. server/app.py /api/v1/execute: caller-supplied agent_id is no longer trusted when authentication is bypassed. The legacy AGENT_OS_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_EXECUTE env var now raises ValueError at construction time. The replacement AGENT_OS_UNSAFE_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_EXECUTE is gated on AGENT_OS_ENV in {dev,development,local}; the server-side identity is fixed by AGENT_OS_UNSAFE_LOCAL_EXECUTE_AGENT_ID (default local-dev-agent); mismatched caller agent_id is rejected with 422 (unsafe) or 403 (authenticated).
3. mcp-kernel-server KernelExecuteTool._check_policies: same params.get('approved') bypass pattern as (1); now ignored with a warning log and the action is denied with guidance pointing to a trusted host approval workflow.
Tests added/updated for all three paths. Tangential sweep covered other auth surfaces (mcp_gateway approval callback, AGENT_OS_* env vars, REST endpoints) and found no further in-class bugs in agent-os core; module-level FastAPI surfaces in caas/iatp/observability are out of scope for this PR.

Description
Closes 12 authorization / privilege-escalation findings in Agent OS surfaced by a cross-model red-team review (Opus 4.7 + GPT-5.5). Each finding is landed as a TDD red→green pair: a
test(...)commit first that asserts the secure behavior and FAILS on the prior code (proving the vuln was real), followed by afix(...)commit that makes those tests pass. 14 commits total, baselined05a4dba→ final HEADe4fc2e85. 475 tests pass across the touched suites.Affected areas:

Commit log (HEAD
e4fc2e85→ based05a4dba)Every
test(...)commit is intentionally checked in in a failing state (runningpytestat any of those SHAs will fail). The next commit in each pair makes them green. This is the intended TDD audit trail — it lets a reviewer cherry-pick a RED commit and verify the vuln existed before the fix.Type of Change

Cross-model red-team review (Opus 4.7 + GPT-5.5) was used to enumerate the finding list; all 12 reports were validated by hand against the source before fixing. Implementation and TDD harness reviewed before commit.
