fix-forward #2971 (tsk-frz5rj): check_agent_project_grants returns the no-credential sentinel for a VALID human token, turning the project-tasks 403 into a silent empty 200 - #2986
Conversation
Lift the printable-filter and 64-char cap into a shared _sanitise_handle helper in a2a_bus.py and have both the admin and human branches of _resolve_send_identity call it, so the two paths cannot drift apart. Extend check_agent_scope and check_agent_scope_for_project docstrings to document that None also means a valid human-principal token was presented, matching the behaviour of _verify_agent_scope. Give check_agent_project_grants the same human-principal short-circuit so it matches check_agent_scope, and update its docstring.

…3 for human tokens, not the no-credential sentinel
check_agent_project_grants previously returned (None, {}) for a valid
human-principal token, which the caller in projects.py:878 interprets as
"no Authorization header" and answers with an empty 200. A present,
valid, correctly-signed human token is not that. Raise 403 with a
distinguishable detail instead so the project-tasks path returns 403,
never a silent empty 200.
Also add the equivalent "@operator" fallback on the human branch of
_resolve_send_identity so two users with all-non-printable usernames
cannot both send as "@", and cap the username at 63 characters before
the @ prefix so @ + username never exceeds the 64-character handle cap.
_verify_agent_scope and check_agent_scope are intentionally untouched;
the pre-existing human short-circuit there is a separate lead-owned
sweep.

CRITICAL: Human-principal check placed after registry lookup
The principal_type == "human" guard is unreachable for production human tokens. A human token's sub is a user_id, which is not in the agent registry, so registry.get(canonical_id) at line 374 returns None and raises 403 with "agent is not active in the registry" before this human check is reached. The test passes only because it uses a registry canonical_id as the token sub, which is not how production human tokens are minted.
Move the human-principal check before the registry lookup to match _verify_agent_scope.

CRITICAL: @operator fallback is dead code in the human branch
_sanitise_handle(f"@{username[:63]}") always returns a truthy string because @ is printable, so return handle or "@operator" never triggers. The intended collision-avoidance for all-non-printable usernames is not implemented.

Sanitize the full username before truncating it.
_sanitise_handle() removes control characters before applying its 64-character limit. With 63 leading control characters followed by alice, the current code produces @, not @operator, and loses the human username. This misattributes the message.
Proposed fix
- handle = _sanitise_handle(f"@{username[:63]}")
+ handle = _sanitise_handle(f"@{username}")Add a regression test with control characters before printable username content. Include the required changelog fragment for this non-test change.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): fix-forward #2971 (tsk-frz5rj): check_agent_project_grants returns the no-credential sentinel for a VALID human token, turning the project-tasks 403 into a silent empty 200
Autonomous build of board card tsk-cuvdxh.
REVISION: built on
exec/tsk-frz5rj(cut atd13561b8c511524a40736bcd42903d9c7fc0bcbc), not ondev. That branch'scommits are ancestors of this one. Verified by
git merge-base --is-ancestorbefore the PR was opened.
check_agent_project_grants previously returned (None, {}) for a valid
human-principal token, which the caller in projects.py:878 interprets as
"no Authorization header" and answers with an empty 200. A present,
valid, correctly-signed human token is not that. Raise 403 with a
distinguishable detail instead so the project-tasks path returns 403,
never a silent empty 200.
Also add the equivalent "@operator" fallback on the human branch of
_resolve_send_identity so two users with all-non-printable usernames
cannot both send as "@", and cap the username at 63 characters before
the @ prefix so @ + username never exceeds the 64-character handle cap.
_verify_agent_scope and check_agent_scope are intentionally untouched;
the pre-existing human short-circuit there is a separate lead-owned
sweep.
Docs-Reviewed: a2a_bus handle sanitisation is an internal proxy-side
security fix; the agent-coordination.md description of from-derivation
remains accurate and the agent manual does not document bus handle
sanitisation.
