passepartout: v0.5.0 hotfix 2 — daemon stable
- Restore (in-package :passepartout) to core-reason
- Move *VAULT-MEMORY* back to core-skills
- Fix ASDF and defstruct/defpackage ordering
- Increase daemon timeout to 120s
- Handshake: 0.5.0

Verified: daemon processes messages, TUI clean, gate trace works

#+TITLE: SKILL: Protocol Validator (org-skill-protocol-validator.org)
#+AUTHOR: Agent
#+FILETAGS: :system:protocol:validation:
#+PROPERTY: header-args:lisp :tangle ../lisp/security-validator.lisp
* Overview
The Protocol Validator enforces schema compliance on every message entering or leaving the cognitive pipeline. It checks that messages are valid plists, that they have the required ~:type~ and ~:payload~ fields, and that the type is one of the known types (~:REQUEST~, ~:EVENT~, ~:RESPONSE~, ~:LOG~, ~:STATUS~). This prevents malformed messages from crashing the pipeline and ensures backward compatibility when the protocol evolves.
* Architectural Intent
The Protocol Validator wraps ~validate-communication-protocol-schema~
(the core communication function) in a skill-level gate. It is the first
filter every message passes through — malformed messages are rejected
before they reach any cognitive stage.
** Contract
1. (validator-protocol-check msg): returns ~msg~ if valid per
~validate-communication-protocol-schema~. Signals ~error~ on
malformed messages (caught by the skill's deterministic gate).
2. The skill's deterministic gate wraps the validator: valid actions pass
through; invalid actions produce a ~:LOG~ rejection with
~:level :error~.
** Boundaries
- Does NOT define the schema — that is ~core-transport.org~.
- Does NOT validate semantic content — that is the Dispatcher and Policy.
