# Adversarial Bug Report: Status Script

## Deep Review
The 980-line status.py is comprehensive. State machine transitions are correctly validated. Approval gates are enforced. Atomic writes prevent corruption. Error messages are clear and actionable.

## Potential Issues
1. **Audit Category 3 stub**: The git-based unauthorized modification check is stubbed. In projects that are git repos, the audit cannot detect code edits made during non-implement phases. This is a gap — an agent could edit code during research and the audit wouldn't catch it unless the artifacts reveal it.

2. **`--same-session` heuristic is weak**: The 30-minute window for session detection is a best-effort heuristic. It cannot reliably distinguish sessions across agent restarts. The spec acknowledges this, but the implementation doesn't add much beyond mtime comparison.

3. **No `--force` flag for coordinator overrides**: The multi-agent spec defines `--force` for coordinator force-transitions, but the current implementation returns "ERROR: unknown flag" for `--force`. This is expected to be added in the multi-agent-support task but a truly adversarial agent could use this gap.

4. **Symlink attack on `.state.tmp`**: An attacker with filesystem access could create a symlink at `.state.tmp` pointing to a sensitive file, causing the atomic write to overwrite it. This is a local-privilege scenario, not a remote attack.

5. **No rate limiting on `--create-task`**: A script could create thousands of task folders. Mitigation exists via kebab-case validation, but no limit on creation count.

## Verdict: PASS — the audit stub is a known gap. No logic flaws that would compromise phase enforcement.
