Closes #1032.

Adds the no-spend execution boundary needed before whole-attempt S18→S26 orchestration:

  • a remotely buildable, linux/amd64 qualification image with immutable base digests, locked Rust/Python dependencies, fixed native binaries, and a read-only source/tool build manifest;
  • a production bootstrap that requires a real /work mount, drops to UID/GID 10001 with no-new-privileges, strips ambient credentials, and blocks volume-based Python module shadowing;
  • an offline S20/S22/S24/S25/S26 runner that consumes an admitted provider plan, revalidates commit/profile/projection/image/source/tool/BenchExec identities, requires native cgroups-v2 admission, and emits the five canonical evidence files;
  • create-only atomic evidence plus plan/result/artifact hash binding before any later rung can be admitted;
  • static image mutation coverage, all-rung runner mutation coverage, and a CI image build.

This PR performs no provider calls and incurs no provider spend. It does not implement Fly/Pulumi ESC orchestration, typed spend authorization, sizing/capacity selection, ownership-ledger recovery, teardown inventory, or enable the live progressive-ladder operator. Therefore #900 remains open.

Local validation:

  • benchmark Python suite: 127 tests passed;
  • image contract/mutation suite: 2 tests passed;
  • Ruff lint and format checks passed;
  • workflow, change-classifier, policy-classifier, Python compile, and diff checks passed;
  • three independent final re-audits clean after validated findings were fixed.

No Docker/Podman daemon was available locally; CI builds the complete image without pushing or running provider operations.

Walkthrough

The change adds immutable provider plan identities, a fail-closed offline provider runner, stronger evidence schemas, atomic harness output handling, and a restricted qualification container with static contract tests.

Changes

Provider qualification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider plan and result contracts
benchmarks/Makefile, benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/progressive_provider_plan.py, benchmarks/schemas/progressive-provider-*.json, benchmarks/tests/test_progressive_provider_plan.py, benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/qualification_operator.py, benchmarks/tests/test_qualification_operator.py
Provider planning now requires immutable image digests for provider execution. Canonical provider evidence, execution authorization, artifact hashes, and result identities are validated.
Admitted provider rung execution
benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/progressive_provider_run.py, benchmarks/schemas/progressive-provider-run-plan.json, benchmarks/tests/test_progressive_provider_run.py
The runner validates admitted plans and identities, requires native authority, executes one staged rung through BenchExec, and writes structured pass or fail results with hash-bound artifacts.
Harness integrity and provenance
benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/progressive_run.py, benchmarks/tests/test_progressive_run.py
Executable resolution preserves virtual-environment paths. JSON writes are atomic and durable. BenchExec receives the package path, and provider provenance reaches generated evidence.
Qualification image and bootstrap
containers/graphforge-progressive-qualification/Dockerfile, containers/graphforge-progressive-qualification/run-qualification.py
The image packages pinned build outputs and identity manifests. The bootstrap validates /work, restricts the environment, enables no-new-privileges, and drops to fixed non-root credentials.
Qualification image contract validation
scripts/ci/test-progressive-qualification-image.py
Static and mutation tests validate image contents, immutable identities, runtime isolation, privilege handling, and fail-closed startup behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 97f41

The PR adds an offline qualification runner, but the current implementation can emit evidence with contradictory profile provenance or an unproven image identity, weakening trust in qualification results; it also blocks valid local planning when no image digest is needed yet. These bounded correctness and default-behavior issues should be fixed before merge.

Annotate refuse as NoReturn.

refuse always raises SystemExit, but the annotation says -> None. validate_work_root relies on that behavior: after the except OSError branch calls refuse, line 40 reads metadata, which is unbound on that path. Type checkers report metadata as possibly unbound, and any future change that makes refuse return turns line 40 into a NameError. The annotation makes the control flow explicit to both readers and checkers.

Use the schema-permitted refusal value in the fixture.

execution_refusal is constrained by benchmarks/schemas/progressive-provider-plan.json (line 26) to null or "provider_executor_unavailable". The fixture uses "unavailable". The refusal plan is therefore not schema-valid. If require_execution_authority starts validating the plan against the closed schema, this test would pass for the wrong reason.

The stage assertion cannot fail.

Line 514 compares ingest.call_args.kwargs["stage"] to itself. That key is effectively unchecked. Assert a property of the staging path instead, for example that it is a directory below output_dir.

Bind outputs to the selected rung.

The item pattern accepts any provider scale token per element. With uniqueItems and exactly five items, a mixed-scale list such as ["s20-plan.json", "s22-benchexec.json", ...] still validates. The runner rejects that case in _assert_identities, so this is a schema-only gap for independent evidence verification. Consider tightening the pattern to the five kinds and validating the scale through rung, for example with a prefixItems-free allOf that constrains each name kind.

"items": {"enum": ["plan", "benchexec", "graphforge", "rung", "result"]}

The simplest closed form is to list the five filenames per rung with a conditional on rung.

In `@benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/progressive_provider_run.py`:
- Around line 236-242: The build_execution_plan validation must require a
read-only in-image image-digest attestation before accepting the execution plan.
Validate that the attestation is present, well-formed, and exactly matches
image_digest, and raise ProviderRunError on absence, malformed data, or
mismatch; retain the existing admitted_plan comparison and adjacent
commit/source-tree validation.
- Around line 420-431: Update the exception handling around _read_document and
the stored-plan comparison so missing, malformed, or mismatched
s{scale}-plan.json failures produce the status "stored_plan_mismatch" instead of
"ordinary_receipt_missing"; preserve receipt-validation failures under their
existing status. Add "stored_plan_mismatch" to the allowed result-schema enum
used by progressive-provider-run-result.json.

In `@benchmarks/harness/graphforge_bench/progressive_run.py`:
- Line 560: Update ingest_benchexec_result() to compare the provider plan
identity profile_id with graphforge["profile_id"] before calling
assemble_rung_evidence() or creating rung, and reject mismatches explicitly;
only assemble evidence when both identifiers match.

- Line 57: Update the precondition in plan_provider_ladder so IMAGE_DIGEST is
not required during initial admission; require it only after the planner selects
a provider rung, while preserving validation of COMMIT, MAXIMUM_SCALE,
