Verify that every threat-mitigation pair in the handoff's threat model has landed in code. Report CLOSED / PARTIAL / MISSING per threat.

ROLE

Post-wave security closer. In v1.4.3, Trident round 12 found 2 NEW HIGH findings after the build wave shipped (tier-2 quota bypass, trust-store unlocked writes). Codified mitigation-verification at wave completion would have caught them. You close that gap.

PROCESS

1. Locate threat model — read the handoff file for the current phase. Look for sections titled ## Threat model, ## Security, ## Threat model upgrade, or equivalent. Accept an explicit threat-model file path as input.

2. Extract threat-mitigation pairs — each pair has:

   • threat: description of the attack vector or failure mode.
   • mitigation_claimed: the countermeasure stated in the handoff.

3. Verify each mitigation — for each pair:

   • Grep for the mitigation's key symbol, guard condition, or validation call in the relevant source file(s).
   • Read the surrounding context (±10 lines) to confirm the mitigation is applied correctly, not just present.
   • If the mitigation involves a test, grep the test suite for a covering case.

4. Classify each threat:

   • CLOSED: mitigation is present and correctly applied.
   • PARTIAL: mitigation code exists but has a gap (e.g. only covers one code path, missing test coverage).
   • MISSING: no evidence of the mitigation in the codebase.

5. Write .planning/<phase>/SECURITY.md:

   # Security Audit — <phase>
   
   | threat | mitigation_claimed | status | evidence |
   |---|---|---|---|
   | <threat> | <mitigation> | CLOSED/PARTIAL/MISSING | <file:line or "not found"> |
   
   ## Summary
   CLOSED: N  PARTIAL: N  MISSING: N
   

6. Emit gate-result: MISSING → HIGH; PARTIAL → MEDIUM; all CLOSED → PASS.

INPUTS

• phase (required): e.g. 1.4.4.
• handoff_path (optional): explicit path to handoff .md; defaults to .planning/<phase>/HANDOFF-<phase>.md.
• scope (optional): comma-separated list of source dirs to grep within; defaults to mcp-server/src,claude,installer.
