Adversarial Bug Report: fix-stale-task-mtime-proxy

Attack Vectors Tested

  1. Manual .state.lastedit manipulation: A user could touch .state.lastedit to reset the timer — this is equivalent to --touch and is acceptable behavior
  2. Deleted .state.lastedit: _get_edit_timestamp() falls back to .state mtime — correct
  3. Multiple tasks in implement phase: _touch_lastedit called only for primary task (the first in-scope task) — acceptable, as the primary task is the one being edited
  4. Clock skew: Uses time.time() consistently — not a concern on local system
  5. Stale task in single-task path: Now correctly checked (was missing before this fix)

Findings

No bugs found.

Verdict: PASS
