Whether to adopt the + umbrella's "always finishes, in bounded time and memory, whatever the source" is Q2. +- **Validation of generated routes is a quality gate, not a security audit.** The five security-checklist rules + (no hardcoded credentials, TLS everywhere, no sensitive data in logs, input validation at every external ingress, + authentication on external endpoints) all fail validation when violated *(documented — + `skills/shared/camel-security-checklist.md`)*, constitution rule 6 forbids hardcoded credentials *(documented — + `docs/constitution.md`)*, and `camel_route_harden_context` adds "supplemental candidate evidence" *(documented — + `camel-validate/guides/security-analysis.md`)*. All of it is static, model-executed analysis of the files it was + pointed at. A passing `/camel-validate` does not make the integration secure. +- **Generated guards and hooks are deliberately narrow.** They are pattern lists; a destructive or secret-reading + command that evades the pattern is by design outside their contract, and they return no decision for anything + else, "so Copilot's regular permission prompts and any user or organization policy still apply" *(documented — + `docs/agent-architectures.md`)*.

It is not an attestation. +- *"`camel-kit doc check` detects tampering."* It detects staleness of pipeline artifacts by digest; anyone who can + write the file can rewrite the digest. +- *"The safety hook / guard makes autonomous runs safe."* It blocks a short list of obvious patterns; the harness + permission model is the control. +- *"Read-only Ship workers cannot leak."* They cannot write, but they read what the parent's permissions allow and + return text; "a fresh context is not an OS sandbox" *(documented — `docs/ship-claude.md`)*.

Camel-Kit's + validation is static (§4.9). +4. **Keep secrets out of the workflow.** Never pass credentials through `--text`, `--document`, `-p` or a design + document; use the placeholder and secret-reference syntax the security checklist prescribes *(documented — + `camel-security-checklist.md`)*; leave provider credentials to the harness. +5. **Own the supply chain you point Camel-Kit at.** Keep `distribution.properties` repository lists and any `-p` + override on origins you trust over HTTPS; prefer release channels over the mutable development alias and snapshot + repositories outside development; in locked-down networks use `--no-fetch` with a vetted `.camel-kit/.cache`; + configure proxies and trust stores through the JVM's standard system properties. +6. **Run Ship on a trusted developer account, on Linux, with `--ask always` or `smart` for third-party input.** Use + `never` only where the recorded defaults are acceptable. Keep `.camel-kit/ship/state/` (or the directory named by + `CAMEL_KIT_SHIP_STATE_HOME`) private: it holds transcripts, proposals and evidence. Protect the private Maven + repository between runs *(documented — `ShipMavenResolver`)*. Never repair evidence or run state by hand + *(documented — `docs/ship-native.md`)*. +7. **Regenerate assets after upgrading** with `init --here --ai <agent> --force` after backing up customisations + *(documented — README)*, so the generated controls match this model's version. + +For **operators of the generated integration**: everything in the Apache Camel Security Model's "Deployment +hardening" applies unchanged; nothing in Camel-Kit substitutes for it. + +For **harness integrators adding a `--ai` target**: provide a read-only Ship worker whose restriction the host +enforces where the host can, and document plainly when restriction is instruction-level only, as the Codex target +does *(documented — `docs/agent-architectures.md`)*. + +--- + +## 4.11 Known misuse patterns + +- **Analysing then building an untrusted repository in one session.** *Looks like:* clone a sample MuleSoft project, + run `/camel-migrate`, let the agent run `mvn` or `camel run` to "check it". *Why unsafe:* the build executes the + project's plugins and code with the developer's privileges; only the *reading* step is covered by P1. *Instead:* + build untrusted projects in a container or VM, or not at all. +- **Treating validation as a security sign-off.** *Looks like:* "constitution and security analysis passed, ship + it". *Why unsafe:* the checks are static and model-executed (§4.9). *Instead:* human review plus Camel's runtime + hardening. +- **Running `camel-kit ship --ask never` in automation with production credentials in the environment.** *Why + unsafe:* the Pi worker inherits the environment and executes commands in its workspace; the secret scan is a floor. + *Instead:* a dedicated account with development-only credentials, `smart` or `always` oversight. +- **Widening the generated harness grants for convenience** (`Bash(*)`, disabling the Copilot hook or Pi guard, + adding MCP control tools to the allow-list). *Why unsafe:* removes the only hard controls the target has. + *Instead:* grant per action through the harness's prompts. +- **Repointing repositories at a plain-HTTP mirror or adding unpinned coordinates.** *Why unsafe:* P4 depends on TLS + and exact versions. *Instead:* HTTPS mirrors and exact versions. +- **Pasting secrets into requirements or design specs.** *Why unsafe:* they flow into prompts, pipeline artifacts + and Ship transcripts. *Instead:* secret references (`{{env:…}}`, vault placeholders). +- **Hand-editing Ship evidence or state to unblock a run.** *Why unsafe:* it defeats the integrity checks that make + recovery safe. *Instead:* `--status`, explicit `--resume`, or `--abort` *(documented — `docs/ship-native.md`)*. +- **Treating `camel-kit doc` digests as tamper evidence** or the Stamp as a release attestation (§4.9). +- **Using Ship for production delivery.** It is a Technology Preview *(documented — README)*. + +--- + +## 4.11a Known non-findings (recurring false positives) + +Suitable as a suppression or negative-prompt list for scanners and AI-assisted triage: + +- **`ProcessBuilder` / `Runtime` use** in `ProcessRunner`, `PrerequisiteChecker`, `DoctorService`, + `EvidenceRunner`, `LocalCommandRunner`, `PiWorker`: argument vectors are fixed by the CLI or controller (executable + names or trusted helper paths plus controller-built arguments); nothing from model output or analysed sources is + spliced into a command line. `Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors()` in `GraphBuilder` is not process + execution. → `KNOWN-NON-FINDING`. +- **`Files.delete` / tree deletion** in `GeneratedAssetCleaner`, `ForageCatalogService`, Ship services and + `ShipJvmPayloadBootstrap`: confined to project-relative generated assets, controller-owned state, caches and + private temporary directories, with symlink refusal (P3, P8). +- **`URLClassLoader` / `Class.forName`** in `ShipJvmPayloadBootstrap` and `ShipCitrusYamlMain`: load only the + controller-materialised payload resolved under P4; the launcher class name is a controller argument. +- **`System.getenv()` in Ship**: read to redact and scan secrets and to launch the Pi worker; never persisted (P7). +- **XML factories**: every `DocumentBuilderFactory` and `XMLInputFactory` in the code base is hardened (P2); an "XXE + possible" scanner hit is a non-finding unless it names a factory that lacks the features. +- **`new ObjectMapper(new YAMLFactory())`**: Jackson's tree model does not honour YAML type tags; no object + construction from tags. +- **"Hardcoded credential" hits** in `skills/**`, `templates/**` and test resources: placeholders such as + `{{env:DATABASE_PASSWORD}}`, `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` and fixture values. +- **`--no-approve` in the Pi worker argument list**: Pi's own prompt is replaced by the controller's oversight gates + and deterministic validation; the worker runs inside the staging workspace with a bounded tool list (P5–P8). +- **`followRedirects(NORMAL)` in `init` downloaders**: HTTPS-to-HTTPS redirects from Maven Central and GitHub are + expected; `NORMAL` never downgrades to HTTP (Q7 for the verification gap). +- **The generated Claude `settings.json` pre-approving `mvn`**: documented posture (Q3). +- **Ship state inside the project (`.camel-kit/ship/state/`)**: controller-owned, denied by tree policy, ignored by + its own `.gitignore` (P6). +- **`GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES` set for child processes**: intended boundary (P8). +- **"The CLI downloads from the internet during `init`"**: documented, pinned, and avoidable with `--no-fetch`. +- **Scanner hits in `examples/`, `tools/`, `camel-kit-dispatch/`, `src/test/**`**: `OUT-OF-MODEL: + unsupported-component` (§4.3). + +--- + +## 4.12 Conditions that would change this model + +- A new CLI command, parser or input format that reads external content;
