Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to The PR adds lesson retrieval and a mandatory validation step, but the current implementation interpolates user-controlled topic text into shell commands, invokes an unavailable checker, omits lesson contents in the fallback path, and uses malformed permission rules. This can enable command execution and leave important safeguards ineffective, so the PR is not merge-ready until corrected. Possibly related PRs

Use separate, valid Bash permission patterns and restrict Bun access.
Bash(openspec:*,bun:*) is a single malformed rule rather than separate permissions, and it grants broader Bun access than the templates require. Use separate patterns with the actual command syntax, for example:
-export const OPENSPEC_CLI_ALLOWED_TOOLS = 'Bash(openspec:*,bun:*)';
+export const OPENSPEC_CLI_ALLOWED_TOOLS = 'Bash(openspec *) Bash(bun scripts/check-proposal-coherence.ts *)';Adjust the exact separator to the repository's permission format, but ensure the OpenSpec CLI and the specific coherence-check command are authorized independently.

Do not interpolate raw <topic> values into Bash source.
A user-controlled topic can contain $(...), backticks, or a quote. Bash evaluates these constructs when the agent renders either command. Use an argv-based tool invocation, or shell-escape the topic as one literal argument before invoking iwe or rg.

Read fallback lesson files before building proposal context.
rg -l returns only file paths. The fallback does not instruct the agent to read matched files, so it cannot fold lesson content into the proposal context when iwe is unavailable. Read a capped number of matched files and cap their content before continuing.

Complete the step renumbering.
In the skill template, “Get the artifact build order” still uses step 4 and artifact creation still uses step 5. The validation and final-status labels must shift accordingly. In the command template, line 354 refers to step 6, but the validation gate is step 7.

Fix any violation in the artifacts, then re-run. |

Add the coherence checker or remove the mandatory gate.
Both proposal templates invoke bun scripts/check-proposal-coherence.ts "<name>", but this file does not exist. The gate cannot run. Add the checker with selected-store or changeRoot support, or replace it with an existing supported check.
