 - **Untrusted-content wrapper** (`cmd/odek/untrusted.go`) — every tool whose output sources from outside the trust boundary (`browser`, `read_file`, `shell`, `search_files`, `multi_grep`, `transcribe`, `head_tail`, `diff`, `tr`, `sort`, `json_query`, `batch_patch`, `glob`, `file_info`, `tree`, `base64` file mode, `session_search`, `@-resources`, `--ctx` files, any MCP tool) wraps results in `<untrusted_content_<nonce> source="...">…</untrusted_content_<nonce>>`. Browser page title and interactive-element text are wrapped in addition to the main content. Per-call nonce defeats wrapper-escape via literal close tag.
 - **Audit log** (`cmd/odek/audit.go` + `internal/session/audit.go`) — every `wrapUntrusted` call records source + content-hash + turn into `<sessions>/audit/<id>.json`. After each turn a divergence heuristic flags `suspicious_divergence=true` when the agent ingested untrusted content AND its actions or final response reference resources that either did not appear in the user's message or were introduced by the untrusted content itself (closing response-only exfiltration and reused-resource injection bypasses). Inspect with `odek audit <session-id>` / `odek audit --list`.
 - **Memory taint** (`internal/memory/provenance.go`) — `EpisodeProvenance` tracks Untrusted/Sources/UserApproved. Tainted episodes are stored but `Search()` filters them out, so a one-shot injection cannot persist via the episode pipeline. User must explicitly promote.
-- **Skill provenance gate** (`internal/skills/loader.go` + `cache.go`) — `Skill.Provenance{Untrusted, Sources, NeedsReview}`. NeedsReview skills pin to Lazy regardless of `auto_load`. `odek skill promote <name>` clears the flag after user review.
+- **Skill provenance gate** (`internal/skills/loader.go` + `cache.go`) — `Skill.Provenance{Untrusted, Sources, NeedsReview}`. NeedsReview skills pin to Lazy regardless of `auto_load`. The auto-save path declines tainted suggestions by default, and `odek skill promote <name> --force` clears the flag after explicit user review.
 - **Sub-agent damage cap** (`cmd/odek/subagent.go::applySubagentTrust`) — `delegate_tasks` carries `trust_level` + `max_risk`. Untrusted ⇒ NonInteractive=deny, Destructive/CodeExec/Install/SystemWrite/NetworkEgress all forced to Deny. `max_risk` ⇒ everything above cap forced to Deny.
 - **FD-based API key handoff** (`cmd/odek/subagent_key.go`) — parent writes key to a 0600 tempfile, immediately `unlink()`s, passes the FD via `cmd.ExtraFiles`. Sub-agent reads from `$ODEK_API_KEY_FD` and closes. Key never in `/proc/<pid>/environ`.
 - **Approver friction** (`internal/danger/approver.go`, `cmd/odek/wsapprover.go`) — both TTYApprover and WSApprover engage friction mode after 3 approvals of the same class in 60s: require typing literal `approve`, 1.5s pause. Trust-class shortcut disabled for `destructive` + `blocked` regardless.
-- **Danger classifier bypass resistance** (`internal/danger/classifier.go`) — `normalize()` pre-processes: expand `$IFS` / `${IFS}`, extract `$(...)` / `` `...` `` substitutions, strip `command` / `exec` / `builtin` wrappers, collapse unquoted backslashes, basename absolute paths. Regression suite in `classifier_bypass_test.go`.
+- **Danger classifier bypass resistance** (`internal/danger/classifier.go`) — `normalize()` pre-processes: expand `$IFS` / `${IFS}`, extract `$(...)` / `` `...` `` substitutions, strip `command` / `exec` / `builtin` wrappers, collapse unquoted backslashes, basename absolute paths. `awk`/`gawk`, `sed` (`e` command / `-f`), and editors (`vi`/`vim`/`nvim`/`emacs`/`ed`/`ex`) are classified as `code_execution` when given a script or file operand, closing `awk 'BEGIN{system(...)}'`, `sed 's///e'`, and editor `!` shell escapes. Regression suite in `classifier_bypass_test.go`.
 - **WS Origin allowlist** (`cmd/odek/serve.go::checkLocalOrigin`) — rejects non-localhost upgrades. Closes CSRF-on-localhost.
 - **REST API CSRF protection** (`cmd/odek/serve.go::requireLocalOrigin`) — state-changing HTTP endpoints (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) require a localhost origin or no Origin header, and static responses set `X-Frame-Options: DENY` + `Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'` to block clickjacking.
 - **Browser history cap** (`cmd/odek/browser_tool.go`) — navigation history is capped at 50 snapshots to prevent memory DoS from repeated `browser_navigate` calls.

 - **Sandbox read-only enforcement** (`cmd/odek/sandbox_file.go` + `cmd/odek/file_tool.go` + `cmd/odek/perf_tools.go`) — when a sandbox container is active, `write_file`, `patch`, and `batch_patch` translate host paths to `/workspace/...` and copy data into the container with `docker cp`, so a read-only workspace mount (`--sandbox-readonly`) is enforced for the agent's own file tools.
 - **Project config sensitive-field rejection** (`internal/config/loader.go`) — `./odek.json` is untrusted, so `base_url`, `api_key`, `system`, and the `dangerous` section set there are ignored (with stderr warnings). These can only be configured from operator-controlled sources: `~/.odek/config.json`, `ODEK_*` env vars, or CLI flags.
 - **MCP subprocess environment sanitisation** (`internal/mcpclient/client.go`) — MCP server children receive only a minimal allowlist of safe environment variables plus explicit `env` overrides. Keys matching secret patterns (`*_API_KEY`, `*_TOKEN`, `*_SECRET`, `*_PASSWORD`, etc.) are stripped, preventing a compromised or malicious MCP server from reading parent secrets.
+- **MCP `tools/list` metadata hardening** (`internal/mcpclient/client.go`, `cmd/odek/mcp_approval.go`, `cmd/odek/main.go`) — tool names from MCP servers are validated (ASCII letters/digits/`-`/`_`, ≤ 64 chars) and descriptions are scanned for injection patterns. Tools whose raw names collide with odek built-ins are rejected. Each tool from a project-level server requires per-tool approval (interactive, `ODEK_APPROVE_MCP=1`, or persisted in `~/.odek/mcp_tool_approvals.json`); global servers from `~/.odek/config.json` are operator-trusted.
+- **Read-only perf-tool file-size cap** (`cmd/odek/perf_tools.go`) — `count_lines`, `checksum`, `head_tail`, and `word_count` reject files larger than 10 MiB before scanning/hashing, consistent with other perf tools.
+- **Inline content size cap** (`cmd/odek/perf_tools.go`) — `base64` and `tr` reject inline `string`/`content` arguments larger than 10 MiB, preventing prompt-injected multi-hundred-megabyte payloads from OOMing the process.
 - **Schedule atomic-write hardening** (`internal/schedule/store.go` + `internal/fsatomic`) — schedule file writes now use `fsatomic.WriteFile`, which creates a random temp file with `O_EXCL`, fsyncs data and directory, and renames over the target. A swapped-in symlink is replaced rather than followed, closing the symlink-override attack on `schedules.json` / `schedule-state.json`.
+- **Schedule cross-process lock hard error** (`internal/schedule/store.go`) — `fileLock` now returns an error instead of silently falling back to a no-op releaser when `~/.odek/schedules.lock` cannot be opened or locked. Mutating schedule operations abort rather than risk two concurrent processes loading the same baseline and overwriting each other.
+- **Schedule JSON file-size cap** (`internal/schedule/store.go`) — `schedules.json` and `schedule-state.json` are rejected if larger than 10 MiB before being read into memory, preventing a tampered multi-gigabyte file from OOMing the scheduler.
+- **Nonce'd tool-result delimiter** (`internal/loop/loop.go`) — the static `┌── TOOL RESULT: ... └── END TOOL RESULT: ...` delimiter is now unique per tool call via a random hex nonce embedded in both the opening and closing lines. A tool or MCP server can no longer forge the closing delimiter to break out of the data framing and inject instructions.
+- **`parallel_shell` context + process-group kill** (`cmd/odek/perf_tools.go`) — commands now run via `exec.CommandContext` bound to the agent context, in their own process group. Cancellation or timeout kills the whole group (negative PID), so `sh -c 'sleep 3600 &'` cannot leave orphaned children. Per-command timeouts are also capped at 30 minutes.
+- **`batch_patch` trusted-class propagation** (`cmd/odek/perf_tools.go`) — `batch_patch` now passes its cached `trustedClasses` to `CheckOperation`, matching `write_file` and `patch`. A trusted `local_write` class is honored across all patches in the batch instead of re-prompting per patch.
+- **Browser link URL wrapping** (`cmd/odek/browser_tool.go`) — interactive element text was already wrapped as untrusted, but link URLs in `clickableRef.URL` were returned raw. They are now wrapped too, while an unexported `rawURL` is kept for internal click resolution.
+- **Telegram message length by UTF-16 code units** (`internal/telegram/handler.go`) — `MaxMsgLength` is enforced using UTF-16 code-unit counting, matching Telegram's own limits. Multi-byte UTF-8 characters (e.g. emoji) no longer pass the local check while being rejected by Telegram.
+- **Telegram restart marker permissions** (`cmd/odek/telegram.go`) — `~/.odek/restart.json` is now written with `0600` instead of `0644`, preventing local users from reading the list of active chat IDs.
 - **Telegram singleton flock lock** (`cmd/odek/telegram.go` + `internal/flock`) — the Telegram bot now uses an advisory `flock` on `~/.odek/telegram.lock` instead of a PID file probed with signals. This removes the non-Linux path where a planted PID could cause odek to kill an arbitrary process.
 - **Telegram photo caption wrapping** (`cmd/odek/telegram.go`) — photo captions cross the Telegram trust boundary, so they are wrapped as untrusted content both when passed to the local vision model and when injected into the main agent's user message.
 - **`send_message` callback prefix restriction** (`internal/tool/send_message.go` + `cmd/odek/telegram.go`) — the `send_message` tool rejects any button whose `callback_data` starts with a reserved internal prefix (`apr:`, `den:`, `trs:`, `clarify:`, `skill_save:`, `skill_skip:`); only user-facing `cb:` callbacks are allowed. The Telegram sender closure validates again as defense-in-depth, preventing a forged approval or skill button.

 Every session can run in an isolated Docker container: no network, no host mounts beyond the working directory, zero capabilities, destroyed on exit. `odek serve` enables the sandbox **by default**; `odek run` keeps it opt-in but warns when running unsandboxed. `--ctx` files are auto-injected into the container at `/workspace/`.

 ### 🛡️ Prompt-Injection-Aware
-External content the agent ingests (`browser`, `read_file`, `shell`, `search_files`, `multi_grep`, `transcribe`, `vision`, `web_search`, `session_search`, MCP tools) is wrapped in per-call nonce'd `<untrusted_content>` boundaries so the model can distinguish data from instructions. Redirect hops are re-classified (`browser`/`http_batch`), MCP tool descriptions are scanned for injection at registration, and the MCP error channel is wrapped too. The danger classifier resists 8 known shell-evasion tricks (`$()`, backticks, `$IFS`, `command`/`exec`, `\rm`, basenamed absolute paths). Approvers engage friction mode after 3 same-class approvals in 60 s. Memory episodes from tainted sessions are stored but never auto-replayed. Skill auto-save tracks provenance and pins untrusted suggestions for explicit `odek skill promote`. `odek audit <session-id>` surfaces every ingest + per-turn divergence heuristic. Full threat model in [docs/SECURITY.md](docs/SECURITY.md).
