When Echo references the server rules it must quote them verbatim and link the actual channel.

Resolved spec (design pass, 2026-08-15)

Two halves with different dependencies. Do not treat this as one blocked ticket.

Half one - verbatim quoting

Quote the rule verbatim. Paraphrase is a fail, because a rule Echo restated in its own words is a rule Echo can get subtly wrong, and it reads as authoritative either way. Rule text is ordinary prose and passes every reply validator today.

Gated only on the rules content in #224, which is blocked upstream on coilyco-bridge/deploy#387.

Half two - the channel link

Unblocked as of 0486de7. The access policy was removed from NewIdentifierGuard, so guild and channel IDs are no longer guarded values. Measured:

  • <#channel-id> - passes grounding, passes the identifier guard.
  • full discord.com/channels/... URL - passes both.
  • #rules - passes the identifier guard, rejected by grounding as an invented channel, and the turn fails with no repair.

So a rules reference must carry the channel ID, not the channel name. A curated entry written as #rules fails every time it is used and looks like the feature not working rather than a validation refusal. Same for any other channel a curated entry points at.

Do not implement a pattern exemption for IDs wrapped in Discord markup. <#...> is trivially requestable by a caller, so that shape reopens the vector for a cosmetic gain. The guard tier is decided from what a value is, not from how it is wrapped.

Read-failure behaviour

Decided on #224, 2026-08-15. When the live read fails, Echo names the failure and points at the channel:

I could not read the rules channel just now. It is at <#channel-id>.

It must not answer from memory and must not imply it checked. Related failure family, worth reading before writing this path - #211 and #199.

Acceptance

  • A rules answer contains the rule text verbatim, byte-for-byte against the source message.
  • Every channel reference in Echo's rules answers renders as <#id>. A test asserts no bare #channel-name form reaches the reply.
  • The read-failure path emits the copy above and no rule text.
  • Half one can ship without half two, and a rules answer with no channel link is an acceptable interim state.

Related - #289 (guard split, resolved by 0486de7), #224 (source of truth and TTL).

Design decision — rules quoting and linking

Recorded by Delphi (design seat). Kai's decision, 2026-08-12.

The source-of-truth decision lives here: #224 — Echo reads rules live from the rules channel, with no repo-config copy. That makes this issue's "verbatim quotes and the actual channel link" a live-read behavior, not a static-content behavior.

Blocked on coilyco-bridge/deploy#387 (Discord MCP self-channel read), via the rules issue. Build order: 387 → 224 → this one.

Behavior contract

  • Quote the rule verbatim. Paraphrase is a fail; a rule Echo restated in its own words is a rule Echo can get subtly wrong, and it reads as authoritative either way.
  • Include the real channel link with the quote — not a bare channel name, not a description of where to look.
  • If the live read fails, Echo must not answer from memory and must not imply it checked. Failure copy is unresolved — see the rules issue.

Related failure family — Echo asserting a capability or a lookup it did not actually perform: #211 and #199. Whoever picks this up should read both before writing the failure path.

Blocker — this request is currently unimplementable, and it is worth knowing before anyone starts. — Quail (QA)

c20cfcb added a reply-path validator that refuses any reply carrying an identifier the process holds, derived at boot from config. That set includes the access policy's guild and channel IDs.

A Discord channel link is the channel snowflake. I probed the validator against both forms this issue asks for:

Reply Result
The rules are in https://discord.com/channels/1300204416229441587/1304848727164452914 blocked
Please read the rules in <#1304848727164452914>. blocked

A blocked reply is not a degraded reply. ValidateGrounding and its siblings route straight to failTurn with no repair, so the member gets nothing.

The verbatim-quotes half of this issue is unaffected. Only "the actual channel link" is blocked.

What has to be decided first

I raised this on #188. The short version: the guard admits identifiers by shape and membership in config, not by sensitivity. A channel snowflake is configured, so it is guarded — but it is not secret. Every member of the guild can read it off the URL bar, permanently.

So the question is whether the guarded set should split secret identifiers (principal user ID, Discord token, internal host:port endpoints) from configured but public ones (guild and channel IDs). Dropping the public tier closes this without weakening anything that matters.

Until that is decided, implementing this issue means either shipping replies that fail validation, or weakening a validator that is otherwise doing exactly its job — and I would not do the second to satisfy the first.

Recommend blocking this on the 188 decision rather than working around it. A workaround here would most likely be "exempt IDs inside Discord markup", and <#…> is trivially requestable by a caller, so that reopens the vector for a cosmetic gain.

Research — Angie (ENG). The form of the channel link decides whether this can work at all. Measured, not inferred.

ValidateGrounding allows only channels that appear in the turn's supplied context, which in practice is the current channel. Anything else is rejected as an invented channel and the turn fails with no repair. So:

Reply Result
The server rules are pinned in #rules. rejected, model invented channel #rules
Read the pinned message in #welcome for the full rules. rejected
See <#1300204416229441587> for the rules. passes
The rules channel has the full text. passes
Rule 3 states: no unsolicited direct messages. passes

This one is not a bug, unlike the three I fixed tonight. The check exists to stop the model inventing channels that do not exist, and it cannot verify #rules without a Discord lookup it does not make. Rejecting an unverifiable channel name is the correct conservative behaviour, and I am deliberately not loosening it.

The consequence for this issue is concrete. Your ask is "the actual channel link", and the actual Discord channel link is <#id>, which already passes and already renders as a clickable channel. The natural phrasing a model reaches for, #rules, is the one that fails.

So the knowledge entry has to carry the channel ID, not the channel name. A rules entry written as #rules produces a turn failure every time it is used, which would look like the feature not working rather than like a validation refusal. Written as <#1300204416229441587> it works today with no harness change at all.

Lucia, that is the load-bearing detail if the rules text lands in the knowledge root: IDs, not names. Same for any other channel a curated entry points at.

The verbatim quotes half needs nothing from me. Rule text is ordinary prose, and quoting it passes every reply check. One thing to be aware of: if a rule's text itself contains a #channel-name reference, quoting it verbatim would trip this same check. Worth knowing before it surprises someone, and it argues for storing rule text with channel references already in <#id> form.

Not claiming this. The remaining work is the curated rules content and its channel IDs, which is knowledge rather than harness.

Quail and Angie reached opposite conclusions because they measured different validators. Both results are correct and the conjunction is worse than either — Lucia (AI).

A reply must pass the whole chain in agent.go, in order:

ValidateGrounding -> ValidateSelfAttributedClaim -> identifiers.Validate -> ValidateIdentityClaim -> ValidateResponseStyle

Angie measured the first. Quail measured the third. Neither is wrong about their own check, and nothing in this thread had yet run one reply past both.

I ran the channel forms against the identifier guard directly, with the channel ID configured:

angle-bracket channel  <#1304848727164452914>              -> BLOCKED
full URL               discord.com/channels/<guild>/<chan> -> BLOCKED
bare name              #rules                              -> passes identifiers
no reference           Rule 3 states: ...                  -> passes

So the two checks are jointly unsatisfiable for this feature. #rules clears the identifier guard and fails grounding as an invented channel. <#id> clears grounding and fails the identifier guard as a configured snowflake. There is no third form. A Discord channel link is the snowflake, so anything clickable carries the guarded value.

One correction to Angie's table, offered as a fix rather than a complaint, since I made the mirror-image mistake tonight. The passing example is <#1300204416229441587>, and that is the guild ID rather than a channel ID, taken from the first segment of Quail's URL. It passed my probe too, but only because I built the guard without an access policy. NewIdentifierGuard does:

guard.addSnowflake(guild.ID)
for _, channel := range guild.Channels.IDs { guard.addSnowflake(channel) }

So in any real deployment the guild ID is guarded as well, and that example would be blocked too. It is also not a channel link, so it would not render as one.

This confirms Quail's recommendation and strengthens it. The blocker is not "one validator is inconvenient", it is that the feature as specified cannot be expressed. That makes the #188 decision genuinely load-bearing rather than a tidy-up: splitting secret identifiers from configured but public ones is what makes any version of this issue possible.

Angie's IDs-not-names guidance survives all of this and is still the right instruction for whenever the guard is split, so that part of the analysis is not wasted.

And one part of this issue is not blocked at all. Verbatim rule text passes every check. Echo could quote a rule correctly today and simply not link the channel. That is a materially better answer than the current one and needs no decision from anyone, though it needs the rules content, which is #224 and blocked upstream on the Discord self-channel read.

Not claiming. Recording the measurement so the next person does not re-derive it or trust the half that does not hold.

The blocker had no open issue behind it. It does now — #289.

Quail recommended blocking this on the 188 decision, which was right. 188 is closed, and the channel-ID scope question was never decided. Quail's final comment there was:

The channel-ID scope question remains the only open item from my side on this issue, and it is a decision rather than work — 210 is blocked on it.

So this issue was waiting on a question tracked nowhere. Anyone picking it up would have re-derived the measurement, read a closed thread to the end, and stopped in the same place. 289 carries the question, both measurements, the recommendation, and the two things I would not loosen.

One thing worth acting on regardless of the decision. The verbatim-quotes half of this issue is not blocked by anything in the guard. Rule text is ordinary prose and passes every reply check. Echo quoting a rule correctly and simply not linking the channel is a materially better answer than today's, and it needs no decision from anyone.

That half is gated only on the rules content in #224, which is blocked upstream on the Discord self-channel read. So the honest dependency chain is two separate ones rather than a single line, and only the link half needs 289.

Confirming Lucia's correction. My table was wrong and the error was mine. — Angie (ENG)

<#1300204416229441587> is the guild ID, not a channel ID. I lifted it from the first segment of Quail's URL without checking which segment it was. It passed my probe for the reason Lucia gives: I ran ValidateGrounding and never the identifier guard, and in a real deployment NewIdentifierGuard adds guild.ID alongside every configured channel, so that example is blocked too. It is also not a channel link and would not render as one, so the row was wrong twice over.

The conjunction is the finding, and neither of us had it alone:

form grounding identifier guard
#rules rejected, invented channel passes
<#channel-id> passes blocked
full Discord URL passes blocked

There is no third form. A clickable Discord channel reference is the snowflake, so anything that renders carries a guarded value. This is not one validator being inconvenient, it is the feature as specified being inexpressible.

I am the wrong person to decide #289 and want that on the record, since I wrote the guard in c20cfcb. Splitting secret identifiers from configured-but-public ones is a security posture call, and an engineer relaxing their own guard because it blocks a feature they want is exactly the shape that should need someone else's signature.

What I will say factually, as input to that decision rather than a verdict on it: the guard admits by shape and membership in config, not by sensitivity, and that was deliberate. It means a value nobody would call secret is guarded because it happens to be configured. Whether that is over-broad is the question 289 asks, and my answer would be worth less than Quail's.

One thing I would not accept whichever way 289 goes. Quail's predicted workaround, exempting IDs inside Discord markup, is the wrong shape: <#…> is trivially requestable by a caller, so it reopens the vector for a cosmetic gain. If the split happens it should be a tier in the guarded set, decided once at boot from what the value is, not a pattern exemption decided per reply from how it is wrapped.

My IDs-not-names guidance is suspended, not withdrawn. It is correct advice for whenever the guard is split and useless before that, and I would rather say so than leave it sitting in the thread looking actionable.

This is unblocked. The guard split landed and I measured it rather than assuming — Angie (ENG).

0486de7 removed the access policy from NewIdentifierGuard entirely, so guild and channel IDs are no longer guarded values. The signature is now NewIdentifierGuard(cfg, roster). Probed against the exact forms this issue needs:

"Server rules are in <#1304848727164452914>."                     -> nil
"See https://discord.com/channels/<guild>/<channel>"              -> nil
"The proxy is at http://proxy-host:8080."                         -> BLOCKED
"The operator user ID is 318190481467244544."                     -> BLOCKED

Both channel-link forms now pass, and the two things that should stay guarded still are. That is the split #289 asked for, done in the shape I said I would accept: a tier decided from what the value is, not a pattern exemption decided from how it is wrapped.

My IDs-not-names guidance is live again, and it is now the whole of the remaining harness constraint. Recapping it against today's code rather than the measurement I made hours ago:

form grounding identifier guard
#rules rejected, invented channel passes
<#channel-id> passes passes now
full Discord URL passes passes now

So a rules reference must carry the channel ID, not the channel name. A knowledge entry written as #rules still fails every time it is used, and would look like the feature not working rather than a validation refusal.

Lucia, that is the load-bearing detail for the curated rules content, and it now has no blocker in front of it. Same for any other channel a curated entry points at.

I am not claiming the remaining work. The verbatim-quotes half needs the rules text, which is #224 and still blocked upstream on the Discord self-channel read. The link half is knowledge rather than harness. What I owed this thread was the measurement, and the measurement changed.

One correction I want to leave standing, since it was mine: I wrote earlier that <#1300204416229441587> passes, using the guild ID rather than a channel ID. Lucia caught it. That example was wrong for two reasons and only one of them has been fixed by 0486de7 — it is still not a channel link and would not render as one.

**This is unblocked. The guard split landed and I measured it rather than assuming — Angie (ENG).** `0486de7` removed the access policy from `NewIdentifierGuard` entirely, so guild and channel IDs are no longer guarded values. The signature is now `NewIdentifierGuard(cfg, roster)`. Probed against the exact forms this issue needs: ``` "Server rules are in <#1304848727164452914>." -> nil "See https://discord.com/channels/<guild>/<channel>" -> nil "The proxy is at http://proxy-host:8080." -> BLOCKED "The operator user ID is 318190481467244544." -> BLOCKED ``` **Both channel-link forms now pass, and the two things that should stay guarded still are.** That is the split https://forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-gaming/sirens-echo/issues/289 asked for, done in the shape I said I would accept: a tier decided from what the value *is*, not a pattern exemption decided from how it is wrapped. **My IDs-not-names guidance is live again**, and it is now the whole of the remaining harness constraint. Recapping it against today's code rather than the measurement I made hours ago: | form | grounding | identifier guard | | --- | --- | --- | | `#rules` | **rejected**, invented channel | passes | | `<#channel-id>` | passes | **passes now** | | full Discord URL | passes | **passes now** | So a rules reference must carry the **channel ID**, not the channel name. A knowledge entry written as `#rules` still fails every time it is used, and would look like the feature not working rather than a validation refusal. **Lucia**, that is the load-bearing detail for the curated rules content, and it now has no blocker in front of it. Same for any other channel a curated entry points at. **I am not claiming the remaining work.** The verbatim-quotes half needs the rules text, which is https://forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-gaming/sirens-echo/issues/224 and still blocked upstream on the Discord self-channel read.
