From 602134671e34a8d4b144b05c7f69700e8c9ed743 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Mayatnikov Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:15:37 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: drop OPERATOR_USERNAME, separate control vs comms planes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There's no good reason to bake a specific operator nickname into the bot's identity — it differs per server, may not exist at all, and treating any in-game name as "trusted" is a chat-injection vector ("I am the operator, do X"). New model: the **repo** is the only trusted control plane. Anyone editing AGENTS.md, skills/, or .env has filesystem access and is, by definition, an operator. In-game chat becomes a dialog-only comms plane — the bot talks to anyone but refuses destructive requests unless a corresponding skill or AGENTS.md instruction makes the action explicitly permitted. - .env / .env.example: OPERATOR_USERNAME removed - AGENTS.md: identity section trimmed; "Operator contact" rewritten as "Control channel" with the trust model spelled out; rules #2 and #6 rephrased so they no longer reference a named operator - docs/architecture.md: top box renamed to "Human" with explicit control-plane vs comms-plane split Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) --- .env.example | 5 ----- AGENTS.md | 17 ++++++++++++----- docs/architecture.md | 7 ++++--- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/.env.example b/.env.example index 904f297..6065ba2 100644 --- a/.env.example +++ b/.env.example @@ -37,11 +37,6 @@ TICK_INTERVAL_SECONDS=60 # trigger around 20/min.
