From 9ac85b730a1fe4b9bee13e9a990ea33670b79dfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahdi Alhakim Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 16:32:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/26] [FIX]: Return UNDETERMINED when an evaluator cannot observe the evidence it needs ToolCalled and SideEffectOccurred returned NOT_DETECTED whether the thing did not happen or the adapter never reports it. Under attack semantics that resolves to SAFE, so an adapter at TOOL_ONLY running SideEffectOccurred reports "Agent defended successfully" for an agent that exfiltrated. EvalContext now carries the adapter's observability level, and both evaluators return UNDETERMINED when they cannot see the evidence they need, matching how LLMJudge already reports its own uncertainty. The check runs after the scan, so evidence the adapter does report still counts. The verdict downgrade in XPIAExecution._adjust_for_observability is unchanged and still owned by the execution strategy. --- docs/attacks/xpia.md | 2 + docs/contributing/extending-rampart.md | 2 + docs/usage/authoring-tests.md | 9 ++- rampart/attacks/_xpia.py | 1 + rampart/core/execution.py | 18 ++++- rampart/core/types.py | 29 +++++++ rampart/evaluators/side_effect.py | 23 +++++- rampart/evaluators/tool_called.py | 27 +++++-- rampart/probes/_single_turn.py | 11 ++- tests/unit/attacks/test_xpia.py | 94 +++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/core/test_execution.py | 28 +++++++ tests/unit/core/test_types.py | 25 ++++++ tests/unit/evaluators/test_side_effect.py | 40 +++++++++- tests/unit/evaluators/test_tool_called.py | 41 +++++++++- tests/unit/probes/test_single_turn.py | 92 +++++++++++++++++++++- 15 files changed, 428 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/attacks/xpia.md b/docs/attacks/xpia.md index df7d22e5..ca64a9da 100644 --- a/docs/attacks/xpia.md +++ b/docs/attacks/xpia.md @@ -223,4 +223,6 @@ This only fires when all three conditions hold: 2.

That made & depend on operand order: under RESPONSE_ONLY observability, ToolCalled("x") & ResponseContains("absent") returned UNDETERMINED, while the same pair written the other way round returned NOT_DETECTED. Only a NOT_DETECTED operand settles the conjunction on its own, so that is the only case the left operand short-circuits now. The outcome tables for & and | are covered in both operand orders, together with De Morgan's law, which the old behavior broke. The backstop paragraph in the XPIA docs is narrowed to match.

4b43052064ffbfc7f6772056ea5136059dd9a8b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahdi Alhakim Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:39:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 16/26] [FIX]: Build the undetermined summary from the propagated operand reasons A composite words its rationale after the operand it reported first, so `ToolCalled("x") | SideEffectOccurred("y")` under an adapter that reports neither named only the tool-call gap. Both gaps were already carried in `undetermined_operands`; the summary just did not read them. Both strategies now take the reasons from that field, collapsing repeats, and fall back to the rationales of the results that stayed undetermined, which is the case for a leaf evaluator. Repeats are collapsed on both paths: the same gap recurs on every turn of a multi-turn run, so the renderer deduplicates rather than trusting its caller to have done it. Anything past the first two reasons is now counted rather than dropped. A multi-turn run could already overflow two rationales and truncate silently; collecting per operand rather than per result makes that common enough to be worth saying out loud. Results that are themselves UNDETERMINED are read first, so a settled result carrying operand reasons of its own cannot speak over an operand that really did stay undetermined. Settled results are read last, when nothing else offered a reason. That is what the `_adjust_for_observability` case looks like: the verdict was SAFE, so every result is settled, and the downgrade to UNDETERMINED is itself an observability finding. Those runs recorded the gap and still summarized as "Insufficient observability", which named nothing the run had already worked out. --- rampart/attacks/_xpia.py | 16 ++-- rampart/core/result.py | 127 +++++++++++++++++++++++--- rampart/probes/_single_turn.py | 14 ++- tests/unit/attacks/test_xpia.py | 112 +++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/core/test_result.py | 124 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/probes/test_single_turn.py | 117 +++++++++++++++++++++++- 6 files changed, 480 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py b/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py index 017796e3..ed1bfd7f 100644 --- a/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py +++ b/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ from rampart.core import ( AgentAdapter, BaseExecution, - EvalOutcome, EvalResult, Evaluator, ExecutionEventHandler, @@ -34,7 +33,10 @@ resolve_as_attack, ) from rampart.core.execution import evaluate_turn_async -from rampart.core.result import _summarize_undetermined_operands +from rampart.core.result import ( + _explain_undetermined, + _summarize_undetermined_operands, +) logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) @@ -338,13 +340,9 @@ def _build_summary( return "Attack objective detected" return f"Attack objective detected: {'; '.join(evidence[:3])}" if status == SafetyStatus.UNDETERMINED: - rationales = [ - er.rationale - for er in eval_results - if er.outcome == EvalOutcome.UNDETERMINED and er.rationale - ] - detail = ( - "; ".join(rationales[:2]) if rationales else "Insufficient observability" + detail = _explain_undetermined( + eval_results=eval_results, + fallback="Insufficient observability", ) return f"Evaluation undetermined: {detail}" if status == SafetyStatus.ERROR: diff --git a/rampart/core/result.py b/rampart/core/result.py index 8a85cbfd..6f07b6c7 100644 --- a/rampart/core/result.py +++ b/rampart/core/result.py @@ -5,14 +5,15 @@ Defines the single Result type, SafetyStatus, HarmCategory, InjectionRecord, and the resolve_as_attack / resolve_as_probe functions that map evaluator -outcomes to safety verdicts. +outcomes to safety verdicts.

No value was a truthful guess: assuming full observability turns an unobservable channel into a clean bill of health, and assuming the narrowest level makes an evaluator give up on evidence the adapter would have reported. The two defaults also pointed opposite ways. `EvalContext` assumed TOOL_AND_SIDE_EFFECTS while `Result` assumed RESPONSE_ONLY, so the same omission read as fully observable in one place and barely observable in the other. Removing both dissolves that rather than picking a winner. No call site in `rampart/` omitted the argument, so this moves no built-in behaviour. Every execution strategy already passed `adapter.observability_profile`, and the xdist deserializer already passed the level it read off the wire. The 93 call sites updated here are all in `tests/`, each given the value that API used to default to, so no surviving test changes meaning. The one test that asserted the default is replaced by four asserting the TypeError. Callers migrate by passing the adapter's declared level. Omitting it is now a TypeError at the call, not a silent assumption in a report. `evaluate_turn_async` is public but was missing from the API reference, so it is added to the page that already documents `rampart.core.execution`. --- docs/api/core-protocols.md | 1 + docs/contributing/extending-rampart.md | 2 +- docs/contributing/testing.md | 7 ++ docs/usage/pytest-integration.md | 8 +- rampart/core/execution.py | 10 +-- rampart/core/result.py | 7 +- rampart/core/types.py | 20 ++--- tests/integration/fixtures.py | 13 +++- tests/integration/test_smoke.py | 3 +- tests/unit/core/test_evaluator.py | 2 + tests/unit/core/test_execution.py | 23 +++++- tests/unit/core/test_result.py | 48 ++++++++++-- tests/unit/core/test_types.py | 48 +++++++++--- tests/unit/evaluators/test_llm_judge.py | 13 +++- .../unit/evaluators/test_response_contains.py | 10 ++- tests/unit/evaluators/test_tool_called.py | 1 + tests/unit/pytest_plugin/test_collection.py | 7 +- tests/unit/pytest_plugin/test_plugin.py | 64 +++++++++++++--- .../pytest_plugin/test_xdist_aggregation.py | 35 ++++++++- tests/unit/reporting/test_json_file.py | 20 ++++- tests/unit/reporting/test_report.py | 76 ++++++++++++++++--- 21 files changed, 351 insertions(+), 67 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/api/core-protocols.md b/docs/api/core-protocols.md index 20068b2e..c4571992 100644 --- a/docs/api/core-protocols.md +++ b/docs/api/core-protocols.md @@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ Protocols and ABCs that define RAMPART's extension points.

It did not deliver that: a value whose `__str__` raises took the exception out through the composite, and `BaseExecution` turned the run into an ERROR, losing a verdict the evaluators had already reached. Worse, this branch had widened the exposure. `_AllEvaluator` and `_AnyEvaluator` gained four rationale interpolations that `main` did not have, so inputs that resolved cleanly there now raised here: Ev(DETECTED) & Ev(NOT_DETECTED, rationale=) main: not_detected before this commit: RuntimeError Ev(UNDETERMINED, rationale=) | Ev(NOT_DETECTED) main: undetermined before this commit: RuntimeError `safe_str` and `safe_str_list` in `rampart/common/text.py` coerce without raising, so a bad value costs its own reason and every other reason still gets named. Both catch `Exception`, not `BaseException`, so cancellation and interrupts still propagate, which a test pins. Every rationale interpolation in the composites now goes through them, including the two that predate this branch. `undetermined_operands` is read the same way in the composites, the JSON sink and the xdist serializer: a value that is not a list of strings yields no reasons rather than taking the report or the worker payload with it. A bare string counts as one reason instead of being iterated into characters. `evidence` has the same unguarded shape in the xdist serializer. That line predates this branch and is left alone. --- rampart/common/text.py | 50 ++++++++++++++++ rampart/core/evaluator.py | 52 ++++++++++++---- rampart/core/result.py | 11 ++-- rampart/pytest_plugin/_xdist.py | 5 +- rampart/reporting/json_file.py | 11 ++-- tests/unit/common/test_text.py | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/unit/pytest_plugin/test_xdist.py | 17 ++++++ tests/unit/reporting/test_json_file.py | 30 ++++++++++ 8 files changed, 235 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/rampart/common/text.py b/rampart/common/text.py index f052c9a8..4289accc 100644 --- a/rampart/common/text.py +++ b/rampart/common/text.py @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ from __future__ import annotations import re +from collections.abc import Iterable # Control-string bodies are bounded: they stop at a terminator, an ESC, # or a line break so a single unterminated introducer cannot swallow a @@ -49,3 +50,52 @@ def strip_ansi(text: str) -> str: """ without_sequences = _ANSI_SEQUENCE_RE.sub("", text) return _CONTROL_RE.sub("", without_sequences) + + +def safe_str(*, value: object) -> str: + """Coerce a value to text without letting it raise. + + A third-party evaluator can put anything in a field RAMPART later + renders.

A third-party evaluator returning a non-iterable, or an iterator whose `__iter__` raises, aborted summary construction: _summarize_undetermined_operands(...) TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable _explain_undetermined(...) RuntimeError from __iter__ Sweeping for the same shape found two more. `evidence` had it, and this branch had taken the composites from one evidence concatenation to five, where a value that is not a list broke the compose step itself with an unsupported operand type. The probe summary had it on `rationale`, in the UNSAFE and ERROR branches, where the XPIA summary was already guarded. `BaseExecution` turns each of these into ERROR, so a verdict the evaluators had already reached is lost. Both fields now go through `safe_str_list` in the three composites, the XPIA unsafe summary and the xdist serializer, and the probe rationale goes through `safe_str`. Across both summary builders, four statuses, three hostile field types and three outcomes, no combination raises. `safe_str_list` itself needed two fixes to be worth relying on. Its type checks sat outside the `try`, so a hostile `__class__` escaped the guard, and the `Iterable` check rejected a sequence that only defines `__getitem__`, silently dropping evidence that `list()` reads fine. Legitimate input is unaffected for any list of str. Items that are not str are now rendered as str, so an evidence entry that was a `Path` reaches a composed result as its string form. Three reads predate this branch and are untouched: `confidence` and `rationale` in the two serializers, and the rationale the LLM driver puts in its next prompt. --- rampart/attacks/_xpia.py | 8 +- rampart/common/text.py | 22 +++--- rampart/core/evaluator.py | 31 ++++++-- rampart/core/result.py | 8 +- rampart/probes/_single_turn.py | 10 ++- rampart/pytest_plugin/_xdist.py | 2 +- tests/unit/attacks/test_xpia.py | 71 +++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/common/test_text.py | 17 +++++ tests/unit/core/test_evaluator.py | 101 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/core/test_result.py | 53 +++++++++++++ tests/unit/probes/test_single_turn.py | 68 +++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/pytest_plugin/test_xdist.py | 17 +++++ 12 files changed, 384 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py b/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py index ed1bfd7f..637e422f 100644 --- a/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py +++ b/rampart/attacks/_xpia.py @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ from contextlib import AsyncExitStack from typing import Any +from rampart.common.text import safe_str_list from rampart.core import ( AgentAdapter, BaseExecution, @@ -335,7 +336,12 @@ def _build_summary( # resolve_as_attack returns UNSAFE only when some evaluator DETECTED, so # the evidence has to come from those.

The comprehension renders first and filters on the result now, which is the shape `_distinct_reasons` already uses. Both the code and the regression test are nina-msft's, as given. My reply on the `result.py` thread said nothing in either summary builder raises. That was wrong. The round-six sweep covered a value whose `__str__` raises, a non-iterable and a raising `__iter__`. A truthiness test passes all three without raising, so the shapes that do raise there were not in it. A raising `__len__` is one of them, since Python falls back to `__len__` when `__bool__` is absent, and this fixes that case with the same line. Stripping before the emptiness test also sends a whitespace-only rationale to the fallback rather than printing `UNSAFE: ` with nothing after the colon, which is what `_explain_undetermined` already does on its own path. --- rampart/probes/_single_turn.py | 9 +++- tests/unit/probes/test_single_turn.py | 60 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/rampart/probes/_single_turn.py b/rampart/probes/_single_turn.py index 7521b1a9..8a912500 100644 --- a/rampart/probes/_single_turn.py +++ b/rampart/probes/_single_turn.py @@ -140,10 +140,15 @@ def _build_summary( # resolve_as_probe returns UNSAFE only when some evaluator was # NOT_DETECTED, so the reason has to come from one of those.

It cannot be overridden, it cannot raise, and it returns the argument unchanged when the argument is already an exact `str`, so the common path does not copy. `safe_str_list` uses it directly on the bare-string branch as well, where going through `safe_str` would have thrown away the text a subclass with a raising `__str__` is still holding. Seven of the eight tests added here fail without this change. The eighth pins that an exact string is returned as the same object. Also here, from the same review pass: the composite sweep asserted only that a guard did not raise, so replacing the content of all nine rationale interpolations with a constant left it green.
