name: firewall-check description: Check for meaning firewall violations - kernel crates must never import domain crates user-invocable: true allowed-tools: "Bash, Grep, Glob, Read"

Check for meaning firewall violations in the ICN codebase.

What is the Meaning Firewall?

The kernel enforces constraints WITHOUT understanding their semantic origin. Domain semantics (trust scores, governance rules) stay in apps. Kernel only sees generic ConstraintSet and PolicyDecision.

Checks to Run

1. Forbidden imports in kernel crates

Kernel crates (icn-net, icn-gateway, icn-gossip, icn-ledger, icn-core) must NEVER import domain crates.

Search for violations:

grep -rn 'use icn_trust::' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/src/
grep -rn 'use icn_governance::' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/src/
grep -rn 'use icn_ccl::' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/src/
grep -rn 'use icn_coop::' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/src/
grep -rn 'use icn_community::' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/src/

2. Domain types in kernel structs

Search for domain type references in kernel code:

grep -rn 'TrustClass\|TrustGraph\|GovernanceRole\|MembershipTier' icn/crates/icn-{gossip,net,gateway,ledger,core}/src/

3. Hardcoded domain thresholds

Search for trust score thresholds in kernel code:

grep -rn '0\.7\|0\.4\|0\.1' icn/crates/icn-{gossip,net,gateway,ledger}/src/ | grep -i 'trust\|score\|threshold'

4. Reverse firewall patterns

Search for constraint-to-domain reconstruction:

grep -rn 'match.*constraints\|match.*max_topics\|match.*rate_limit' icn/crates/icn-{gossip,net,gateway,ledger}/src/ | grep -i 'class\|tier\|level'

5. Cargo.toml dependency check

Verify kernel crate Cargo.toml files don't depend on domain crates:

grep -l 'icn-trust\|icn-governance\|icn-ccl' icn/crates/icn-{net,gateway,gossip,ledger,core}/Cargo.toml
