From 3f6de6fe8b2c4ea863c93112a8b64efc6cc9b6a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Infra-Runtime-BE Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 04:14:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(workspace): OFFSEC-003 sanitize read_delegation_results() Adds _sanitize_a2a.py (from PR #346) and integrates sanitize_a2a_result() into read_delegation_results() so peer-supplied summary and response_preview fields are escaped before being injected into the agent prompt. Output is wrapped in [A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER]...[/A2A_RESULT_FROM_PEER] boundary markers so content after the block is clearly not from a peer. Fixes: - test_a2a_executor.py: correct mock patch path to executor_helpers - test_executor_helpers.py: fix boundary-injection test assertion to match _strip_closed_blocks behaviour (closes marker, removes following text) Follow-up to PR #346 (OFFSEC-003 boundary escape) which noted "read_delegation_results() path still needs sanitization" as a gap.
