+# Oracle Slice-1 DOGFOOD — cross-repo acceptance test
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-16
+**Task:** 5.3 — cross-repo DOGFOOD acceptance test (capstone of Slice 1)
+**Test:** `tests/core/test_oracle_dogfood.py` (engine worktree)
+**Status:** GREEN — 3/3 passed (real podman, real CLI, real ship-check subprocess; no mocks)
+
+## What was proven
+
+The unfakable Atlas oracle gates a real `prd-taskmaster` ship-check end-to-end.
+For each DONE task, `skel/ship-check.py` (Gate 5) shells `atlas oracle grade`,
+which checks out the submitted commit into a throwaway worktree, **overlays the
+operator-held tests over the submitter's tree**, re-executes the card's grading
+command inside a digest-pinned podman sandbox, derives `PASS` iff exit 0, and
+appends a tamper-evident ledger event.
+
+1. **Genuine pass ships.** Operator-held `grade.sh` = `exit 0`. Ship-check emits
+ `SHIP_CHECK_OK`, returncode 0, and the ledger records `verdict == "PASS"`.
+2. **Reward hack blocked (the acceptance criterion).** The submitter ships a
+ cheat — a committed `grade.sh` that always `exit 0` — while the operator-held
+ `grade.sh` is `exit 1`. The cheat does **NOT** ship: the oracle overlays and
+ re-executes the operator's copy, so the verdict is `FAIL`. `SHIP_CHECK_OK` is
+ absent, returncode is non-zero, stderr names the oracle FAIL for task 1, and
+ the ledger records `verdict == "FAIL"`. **Non-vacuous:** the only difference
+ between case 1 and case 2 is which `grade.sh` the oracle re-runs — the
+ submitter's committed copy never reaches the verdict.
+3. **Ledger integrity.** `atlas ledger verify
` reports
+ `{"ok": true, "eventCount": 1}` after the genuine pass.
+
+## ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD used
+
+```
+ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD="/node_modules/.bin/tsx /apps/cli/src/index.ts"
+```
+(`` = your local atlas-protocol checkout. The test reads `ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD` from the environment and skips when it is unset.)
+
+`ship-check.py` shlex-splits `ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD` and appends
+`oracle grade --repo --commit --card ... --held ... --evidence ... --ledger ...`.
+
+**Why `tsx` on the CLI source and not `node dist/index.js`:** the spine
+monorepo's workspace packages (`@atlas-protocol/core|cards|evidence|executor`)
+declare `exports: "./src/index.ts"`, so the compiled `apps/cli/dist/index.js`
+resolves its workspace deps to TypeScript sources that bare `node` cannot load
+(`ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND: .../packages/executor/src/grade.js`). The `tsx`
+executable runs the identical CLI code path the spine's own vitest suite uses,
+with **no edits to the spine repo**. (Building the CLI — `pnpm --filter
+@atlas-protocol/cli build`, plus `pnpm -r build` for the workspace deps — was
+done as Step 0 and is required so the source resolves; the dist itself is not
+the run target.)
+
+## Observed results
+
+### Pass case (operator-held `grade.sh` = `exit 0`)
+
+```
+$ ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD="$TSX $SRC" python3 skel/ship-check.py --cwd /tmp/ev_pass
+SHIP_CHECK_OK
+rc=0
+```
+
+Ledger event payload (excerpt):
+
+```json
+{
+ "type": "verification.completed",
+ "actor": { "kind": "executor", "id": "oracle" },
+ "lifecycleState": "verification_passed",
+ "payload": { "verdict": "PASS", "exitCode": 0, "overlayHash": "sha256:..." }
+}
+```
+
+### Reward-hack case (submitter cheat `exit 0`, operator-held `exit 1`)
+
+```
+$ ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD="$TSX $SRC" python3 skel/ship-check.py --cwd /tmp/ev_hack
+rc=1
+--- stdout (empty — no SHIP_CHECK_OK) ---
+--- stderr ---
+FAIL: task 1: oracle verdict FAIL
+```
+
+The committed cheat (`exit 0`) was overlaid away by the operator-held `exit 1`
+and re-executed in the sandbox → verdict `FAIL` → ship blocked.
+
+## pytest
+
+```
+$ python3 -m pytest tests/core/test_oracle_dogfood.py -v
+tests/core/test_oracle_dogfood.py::test_genuine_pass_ships PASSED [ 33%]
+tests/core/test_oracle_dogfood.py::test_reward_hack_blocked PASSED [ 66%]
+tests/core/test_oracle_dogfood.py::test_ledger_integrity PASSED [100%]
+============================== 3 passed in 13.05s ==============================
+```
+
+## Slice-2 hardening note
+
+The Graded Card's `contentHash` is a syntactically valid placeholder.
+`gradeSubmission` does not re-verify `contentHash` against the card body in
+Slice 1 (it is only echoed into the ledger payload). Slice 2 should recompute
+and verify it before grading so a tampered card body cannot be graded under a
+stale hash. (Also tracked in the executor's `SLICE-1` deferral comments:
+infra-failure exit codes are currently recorded as `FAIL`, and `evidenceRef`
+records a path rather than a `sha256:`-prefixed content ref.)

+"""Cross-repo DOGFOOD acceptance test — the capstone of Slice 1.
+
+This is a REAL end-to-end proof (no mocks) that the unfakable Atlas oracle gates
+a genuine `prd-taskmaster` ship-check. For each DONE task, the standalone
+`skel/ship-check.py` (Gate 5) shells the `atlas oracle grade` CLI, which:
+
+ 1. checks out the submitted commit into a throwaway detached worktree,
+ 2. OVERLAYS the operator-held tests over the submitter's tree (the submitter's
+ own copy of the graded path is REPLACED by the operator's held copy),
+ 3. re-executes the card's grading command inside a digest-pinned podman sandbox,
+ 4. derives PASS iff exit 0, and writes a tamper-evident ledger event.
+
+The acceptance criterion is the reward-hack test: a submitter who ships a
+`grade.sh` that always `exit 0` (a cheat that would pass if the submitter
+controlled grading) does NOT ship, because the operator-held `grade.sh`
+(`exit 1`) is overlaid and re-executed by the oracle. The cheat never touches
+the verdict.
+
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD
+ The oracle CLI lives in the SPINE worktree (a separate monorepo). Its
+ workspace packages declare `exports: "./src/index.ts"`, so the compiled
+ `apps/cli/dist/index.js` cannot be run by bare `node` — it would resolve the
+ workspace deps to their TypeScript sources. We therefore invoke the CLI the
+ same way the spine's own vitest suite does: through the `tsx` executable on
+ the CLI source entrypoint. This requires NO edits to the spine repo and runs
+ the identical code path. The resulting command is:
+
+ ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD="/node_modules/.bin/tsx /apps/cli/src/index.ts"
+
+ ship-check.py shlex-splits ATLAS_ORACLE_CMD and appends `oracle grade ...`.
+
+SLICE-2 HARDENING NOTE
+ The Graded Card's `contentHash` is a syntactically valid placeholder here.
+ `gradeSubmission` does NOT re-verify the contentHash against the card body in
+ Slice 1 (it is only echoed into the ledger payload), so a placeholder is
+ accepted. Slice 2 should recompute and verify the contentHash before grading
+ so a tampered card body cannot be graded under a stale hash.

+"""Oracle-gate contract for the standalone skel/ship-check.py (Gate 5 cutover).
+
+Gate 5 was a FAKABLE deterministic grep over .atlas-ai/evidence/ that SILENTLY
+PASSED when no evidence existed, and was bypassable with a self-grantable
+--override SHIP_CHECK_OVERRIDE_ADMIN token. This suite proves the new contract:
+
+ * For every DONE task, the gate RE-EXECUTES the CDD card's grading via the
+ `atlas oracle grade` CLI (shelled out — the script stays stdlib-only).
+ * FAIL-CLOSED: missing card, missing grading block, CLI crash, unparseable
+ output, or a non-PASS verdict all BLOCK the ship. ONLY verdict=="PASS"
+ ships a task.
+ * The override token is GONE — there is no self-grantable bypass path.
+
+The script is loaded by file path via importlib because it ships into user
+projects as a standalone `.atlas-ai/ship-check.py` (no prd_taskmaster import).
