docs(adr): revise identity-trust-none — three-layer architecture

[chaodu-agent]

Summary

Revises the identity-trust-none ADR (#1264, merged) to adopt a three-layer adapter architecture (Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler), addressing all findings from the mob review on PR #1263 and subsequent platform-specific reviews.

Before vs After

Before (original ADR)

Discord ──→ is_denied_user() ──→ dispatcher.submit() ──→ Agent
Slack   ──→ inline check     ──→ dispatcher.submit() ──→ Agent
Gateway ──→ should_skip()    ──→ dispatcher.submit() ──→ Agent
Cron    ──→ handle_message() ──→ Agent

❌ Three different trust implementations
❌ Gate at handle_message() — live traffic never reaches it
❌ New adapter forgetting the check = fully open bot

After (this revision)

               to InboundEvent  all platforms

✅ One trust implementation (trust.rs decide())
✅ Gate is upstream — Handler never sees untrusted events
✅ New adapter = write Receiver + Handler, trust is automatic
✅ Slash commands gated (they live in Handler, downstream of gate)
✅ Architecturally impossible to bypass (GatedEvent private constructor)

Key Design Decisions

Decision	Rationale
Type-level enforcement (GatedEvent private constructor)	Compile-time guarantee — bypass impossible without unsafe
Per-event platform as trust lookup key	Fixes unified-mode multiplexing bug
Bot messages bypass L3, enforce L2	Bots skip identity but respect channel scope
Platform-specific echo trait	Core decides Allow/Deny; each platform delivers echo differently
Phased rollout (Phase 0→3)	No hard cutover — operator gets startup error, not silent breakage
trusted_bot_ids = shared config	Receiver computes is_bot, Handler does admission — no circular dependency

Addressed Review Feedback

LINE (@luffy-aiagent) — comment

#	Concern	Resolution
1	Echo delivery: core shouldn't call LINE API	Echo via platform trait — core decides, gateway adapter delivers
2	Deny-echo must be Reply API only (never Push)	Hard rule: Reply only; token expired → silent drop. Non-overridable.
3	Group identity unreliable ("unknown" userId)	LINE group policy: "open" (group-level trust, unknown allowed) / "members" (per-user, unknown denied)
4	@mention filter must stay upstream of Trust Gate	Documented as deliberate Receiver exception
5	Echo content must differ by scope	DM includes UID; group has no ID. Rate-limited.
6	Profile API display name	Acknowledged as P2 enhancement, out of trust scope

Slack (@antigenius0910) — comment

#	Concern	Resolution
1	Echo via DM breaks onboarding	Slack echo = chat.postEphemeral (only needs chat:write)
2	is_bot derivation must be pinned	Per-platform derivation table added (including USLACKBOT)
3	Slack doesn't support slash commands	Scope clarification added — "gated" = gateway-platform commands only
4	Enterprise Grid trust key	Trust key = (team_id, sender_id); mandate enterprise_user.id when available
5	assistant_thread_started bypasses Gate	Must flow through Trust Gate as InboundEvent { is_dm: true }
S1	Socket Mode scope	Explicitly stated: Events API HTTP is out of scope
S2	MPIM classification	G-prefix = channel (not DM); documented as limitation

Feishu (@wangyuyan-agent) — review

#	Concern	Resolution
1	Line-number refs are fragile	Replaced with symbol + semantic description (greppable)
2	allowed_groups destination undefined + double-gating + fail-open	Group allowlist → Trust Gate (L2); gateway crate = L1 only; empty list = deny-all; phased deprecation
3	is_bot vs trusted_bot_ids circular dependency	trusted_bot_ids is shared config — Receiver reads it for is_bot, Handler for admission

What Changed in the ADR

Section	Change
§4.2	Three-layer architecture (Receiver / Trust Gate / Handler)
§5	InboundEvent struct, GatedEvent type-level enforcement
§5	Platform-specific echo trait table (LINE/Slack/Discord/Telegram/Feishu)

§5	is_bot per-platform derivation table (pinned canonical rules)
§5	trusted_bot_ids documented as shared config
§5	LINE group policy (open/members) with "unknown" handling
§5	LINE @mention pre-filter as Receiver exception
§5	Sender ID format: Slack Enterprise Grid composite key

[luffy-aiagent]

LINE maintainer feedback (ref: per-platform LINE section)

Verified the LINE section against crates/openab-gateway/src/adapters/line.rs at upstream/main. Direction is sound — LINE can adopt the three-layer model. Two core claims check out: L1 = HMAC-SHA256 (line.rs:84-103, X-Line-Signature + channel_secret) and the short reply-token TTL (REPLY_TOKEN_TTL_SECS = 50, lib.rs:17). Giving LINE its own [line] section instead of sharing gateway config is correct.

Six LINE-specific refinements the ADR should absorb before implementation:

1. deny-echo: "core does the echo" doesn't hold for LINE — split decision from delivery

LINE's outbound path already exists as dispatch_line_reply() (line.rs:646), a hybrid Reply/Push dispatcher living in the gateway crate, not core. Recommend the ADR say: the Trust Gate makes the decision in core, but the echo delivery is delegated back to each platform's gateway adapter. (Also resolves mob-review #12.)

2. deny-echo on LINE must be Reply-only — never Push

When the reply token is expired (>50s) or consumed, dispatch_line_reply falls back to the Push API, which consumes LINE's paid monthly push quota (line.rs:667-670). Echoing a deny to a spammer would mostly hit Push (token dies in 50s) → attacker burns your push quota. Rule: LINE deny-echo uses Reply API only; if no valid token, drop silently. Never spend Push quota on untrusted senders. (Sharpens mob-review #7 for LINE.)

3. Group identity: allowed_users is only reliable in 1:1 — two-mode group config

In group/room events, channel_id becomes the group/room id and the sender's userId is only present when LINE provides it, else it normalizes to "unknown" (line.rs:333-354). So per-user allowlisting is unreliable in groups. Resolution:

• "unknown" is always deny and can never be allowlisted (else you'd admit all anonymous group members).
• Support two group modes, admin's choice, via a default_group_policy + per-group override:

[line]
allowed_users = ["Uaaa", "Ubbb"]
default_group_policy = "members"   # fail-closed default

[[line.groups]]
id = "Copen1"
policy = "open"        # any group member who @mentions the bot may use it

[[line.groups]]
id = "Crestricted1"
policy = "members"     # only senders in allowed_users; unknown userId -> deny

Decision order (group msg): group not in allowlist → deny; open → pass (skip per-user check, unknown allowed); members → require allowed_users (unknown → deny). 1:1 DM always uses per-user allowed_users.

4. @mention gating must stay UPSTREAM of the Trust Gate (LINE receiver exception)

LINE drops non-@mention group messages during normalization, before the event is emitted (line.rs:373-380) — i.e. upstream of where the Trust Gate sits. This must stay upstream, not move into the downstream Handler. If @mention gating were downstream of the gate, ordinary group chatter (not addressed to the bot) would hit the gate and get deny-echoed at random. The ADR should note LINE's receiver performs @mention filtering ahead of the Trust Gate as a deliberate exception to "receiver = pure transport." Net funnel: @mention gate (silent drop) → Trust Gate (deny-echo) → Handler.

5. Echo content differs by scope (leak-safe)

• 1:1 DM: echo includes the sender UID (self-serve: user forwards it to an admin; only they see it).
• Group/room: echo carries no ID — a generic "not authorized, contact admin" only.
• Both: hard per-sender/per-group rate-limit (one echo per cooldown window), so the bot can't be turned into a group-spam machine, plus the Reply-only rule from perf: cache deps layer + drop arm64 QEMU build #2.

6. (Enhancement) Resolve display name via Profile API + local cache

Today SenderInfo.id/name/display_name are all the raw userId (line.rs:388-390) — LINE webhooks carry no display name. Recommend resolving names via the Profile API (GET /v2/bot/profile/{userId}, group variant GET /v2/bot/group/{groupId}/member/{userId}/profile) with a local cache keyed by userId (long TTL; names rarely change; cache also respects the Profile API rate limit). This upgrades logs and 1:1 echoes from opaque UIDs to real names.

Important scope note: Profile API resolves userId → name; it cannot recover a missing userId (it takes a userId as input — chicken-and-egg). So the genuine "unknown" case (webhook omitted source.userId) is unaffected and its fail-closed handling in #3 still stands.

Note on audit logging (mob-review #10)

With #6 in place, most traffic resolves to a stable userId and a real name, so per-user audit works for 1:1 and the common group case. The residual limit: when a user hasn't consented to LINE providing their info, the webhook omits userId and audit falls back to group-scope (group_id). The ADR should state this honestly rather than imply per-sender audit is always available on LINE.

is_bot is always false for LINE (line.rs:391, no bot-to-bot webhook delivery), so mob-review #13's bot-bypass semantics are a no-op for LINE — worth a one-line note.

[wangyuyan-agent]

Reviewed the Feishu-relevant parts against the current source (gateway/src/adapters/feishu.rs, src/gateway.rs, src/config.rs). The three-layer direction (Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler) is sound, and the sender-ID table correctly flags that Feishu open_id is per-app. Three points on §7 / the Feishu specifics (details inline):

1. should_skip_event() isn't a real symbol (the gateway-client filter is inline in run_gateway_adapter); the cited line refs also don't match the filter location in current main.
2. The Feishu gateway-crate check is more than feishu.rs:425 — there's a sibling group allowlist (feishu.rs:443-448) with no defined destination, and for Feishu the identity is double-gated across two processes (core side fail-open when empty).
3. is_bot lives in the Receiver's InboundEvent and drives the gate's L3 bypass, but trusted_bot_ids is slated to "stay in Handlers" — for Feishu these conflict, since is_bot can't be computed without trusted_bot_ids.

[wangyuyan-agent]

should_skip_event() isn't a symbol in the repo — grep returns zero matches. The gateway-client user/channel filter this refers to is inlined in run_gateway_adapter (src/gateway.rs), not a named function. The cited lines also look off: in current main the allowed_channels/allowed_users filter is at src/gateway.rs:785/:791, while :832/:1160 land on MessageContext construction. Since this drives a "remove these" step, the symbol/line refs should point at the real filter to stay actionable.

[wangyuyan-agent]

Two gaps for Feishu here:

1. The gateway-crate Feishu check isn't only the user allowlist (feishu.rs:424-429). The same parse_message_event has a sibling group allowlist right after — feishu.rs:443-448 (allowed_groups, matched on chat_id). It's in neither this relocate list nor "stays in Handlers," so its destination is undefined under the "gateway = L1 only" goal.
2. For Feishu this identity is already filtered a second time by the core gateway.rs filter two bullets up — a cross-process double gate (gateway env FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS + core [gateway].allowed_users). They can diverge, and the core side fails open when its list is empty (resolve_allow_all = flag.unwrap_or(list.is_empty())).

[wangyuyan-agent]

This conflicts with the is_bot design for Feishu. InboundEvent.is_bot is set by the Receiver and used at the Trust Gate to bypass L3, but Feishu marks other bots as sender_type="user" (see the comment in feishu.rs), so is_bot for a non-self bot can only be derived by matching trusted_bot_ids against open_id. If trusted_bot_ids lives only in the Handler (downstream of the gate), the Receiver can't set is_bot correctly and the gate's L3 bypass is unreliable for Feishu. The gateway crate already computes is_bot from trusted_bot_ids at receive time today — so either trusted_bot_ids (or its result) must be available at the Receiver, or the ADR should carve out Feishu's is_bot derivation.

[antigenius0910]

Slack-focused review — the general architecture is sound, but there are a few Slack-specific gaps that will bite every deployment. Line references are against crates/openab-core/src/slack.rs on main.

1. Echo delivery via DM is the wrong default for Slack

§5 says "DM-preferred, else silent drop." On Slack this breaks onboarding:

• Many Slack apps don't request im:write — conversations.open fails → user gets silently dropped and never learns their UID.
• chat.postEphemeral needs no extra scope beyond chat:write, posts in-channel visible only to the target user, no UID leak, no TTL problem.

Recommendation: For Slack, spec chat.postEphemeral in-channel as the primary echo path; DM is a fallback (or omitted). Otherwise the onboarding UX the ADR is trying to preserve doesn't actually work on Slack.

2. is_bot derivation must be pinned, not left as a free-floating flag

§4 says "bot messages bypass L3." That bypass is security-sensitive, but the ADR only defines is_bot as a boolean on InboundEvent. Slack's canonical rule (already used in the adapter at slack.rs:815, :864, :1206-1207) is:

is_bot = event.bot_id.is_string() || event.subtype == "bot_message"

Plus the USLACKBOT special case (slack.rs:1647 area). Please write this into the ADR — otherwise different Receiver implementations will diverge and open bypass paths.

3. Slash commands / interactive are dropped on Slack today — the ADR implies otherwise

slack.rs:797-806 explicitly ignores slash_commands and interactive envelopes (thread routing can't be reconstructed for them). But §4.2 and §7 repeatedly use "slash commands live in Handler, now gated" as a selling point and put Slack in the list. Readers will assume Slack Handler supports slash. Please either:

• State explicitly that the Slack adapter does not consume slash_commands / interactive, or
• Spec how a future Slack Receiver would normalize view submissions / block actions / shortcuts into InboundEvent (what maps to channel_id, is_dm, sender_id).

4. Enterprise Grid: W-prefix + team_id aren't in the trust key

"Use whichever the event payload provides" is under-specified for Grid:

• Same person has different U/W IDs across workspaces; cross-workspace org apps may see yet a third form.
• §5 echo rate-limit keyed on sender_id alone → a Grid user hopping workspaces bypasses it.
• team_id is already extracted in the adapter (slack.rs:841, :1081, :1249) but only fed to streaming, not to trust.

Recommendation: For Slack, trust lookup + rate-limit should key on (team_id, sender_id), or the ADR should mandate enterprise_user.id as the canonical form and document how operators list it. Right now this is silently broken for Grid.

5. Only message flows through the Gate — reaction_added and assistant_thread_* aren't addressed

• §5 says Slack Handler keeps emoji reactions, but doesn't say reaction_added events flow through Receiver → Gate. Grep confirms no reaction_added handling exists today, so this is aspirational. If reactions are ever wired in, reactor identity (event.user) needs to hit L3 — please state that.
• assistant_thread_started / assistant_thread_context_changed: assistant_mode defaults to true on v0.9.0-beta.2. If these events don't flow through the Gate, an untrusted user can open an assistant thread and establish state without ever tripping L3. The ADR should specify these events go through the same pipeline with is_dm = true.

Secondary

• §3 L1 table lists only Socket Mode for Slack. openab is Socket-only today (fine), but please state this explicitly to bound the scope — otherwise a reader assumes Events API HTTP mode with X-Slack-Signature HMAC verification is also covered, and it isn't.
• is_dm = channel_id.starts_with('D') (slack.rs:872) misclassifies MPIMs (group DMs) in some workspace configurations — they may present as G-prefixed. If MPIMs should count as DM for allow_dm, the derivation needs to include them; if they should count as channels, please say so.

Happy to help wire any of this in.

Note

LGTM ✅ — ADR architecture is sound, all platform reviewer feedback addressed, pseudocode matches prose commitments.

What This PR Does

Revises the identity-trust-none ADR (merged via #1264) from a single-point router gate to a three-layer adapter architecture (Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler), resolving all findings from the PR #1263 mob review and three subsequent platform-specific reviews (LINE, Slack, Feishu).

How It Works

The core insight is structural: by splitting each adapter into a Receiver (pure transport + L1 auth) and a Handler (platform-specific interaction logic), with a unified Trust Gate between them, the architecture provides a compile-time guarantee that no untrusted event can reach any Handler. This is enforced via GatedEvent (private constructor in a narrow module) — any code that tries to accept InboundEvent directly will fail to compile.

Key additions in this revision:

• InboundEvent / GatedEvent type separation with module-level privacy
• Per-event platform as trust lookup key (fixes unified-mode multiplexing)
• Platform-specific extensions: LineTrustConfig (group policy open/members), SlackTrustConfig (workspace-scoped Enterprise Grid trust)
• is_bot per-platform derivation table (all 8 platforms pinned)
• Cron bypass via platform field only (avoids sender_id spoofing via WeCom freeform UserIDs)
• Reserved platform validation as MUST-level requirement
• Phased rollout (Phase 0→3) with startup errors instead of silent denial
• Bounded LRU rate-limit cache for echo (prevents OOM flooding)
• into_inner() pub(crate) with Phase 1 lint guidance

Findings

#	Severity	Finding	Location
1	🟢	Type-level enforcement via GatedEvent private constructor — excellent compile-time guarantee	§4.2
2	🟢	Cron bypass correctly keys on platform only (not sender_id) — prevents WeCom spoofing	gate_event()
3	🟢	Platform-specific echo delivery trait separates decision (core) from mechanism (adapter)	§5 echo table
4	🟢	All 3 external reviewer feedback rounds systematically addressed with clear resolution tables	PR description
5	🟢	Phased rollout avoids hard cutover — operator gets explicit error, not silent breakage	§6
6	🟢	Bounded rate-limit cache (LRU + TTL) prevents OOM from sender_id flooding	§5 echo safeguards

What's Good (🟢)

• Architectural soundness: The three-layer separation (Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler) is a genuine improvement over the previous single-gate-at-router design. The type-level enforcement makes accidental bypass a compile error.
• Comprehensive platform coverage: All 8 platforms have pinned is_bot derivation rules, echo delivery mechanisms, and sender ID format documentation.
• Addressed all reviewer feedback: LINE (6 concerns), Slack (5+2 secondary), Feishu (3 concerns) — each systematically resolved with clear rationale.
• Security-conscious defaults: empty list = deny-all, bounded rate-limit, Reply-only for LINE echo, reserved platform rejection.
• Implementation-ready: The pseudocode is precise enough to implement directly — gate_event() by-value ownership, run_platform generic pipeline, startup wiring, Gateway demux pattern.
• Honest limitations documented: MPIM classification, LINE "unknown" userId, Enterprise Grid complexity — called out as known constraints rather than hidden.

Baseline Check

• PR opened: 2026-07-04
• Main already has: original identity-trust-none ADR (docs(adr): identity trust-none default & trust pyramid #1264, merged) with single-gate-at-router design + Phase 0/0.5 partial wiring
• Net-new value: Complete architectural revision to three-layer model with type-level enforcement, platform-specific trust extensions (LINE group policy, Slack Enterprise Grid), all external reviewer feedback incorporated, and implementation-ready pseudocode

Addressing External Reviewer Feedback

@luffy-aiagent (LINE platform review)

6 LINE-specific concerns: echo delivery, Reply-only rule, group identity, @mention pre-filter, echo content by scope, Profile API

✅ All addressed in d5c420c: Platform echo trait table added (LINE = Reply API only, never Push); LINE group policy open/members with "unknown" handling; @mention pre-filter documented as deliberate Receiver exception; echo content differs by scope (DM includes UID, group does not). Profile API acknowledged as P2 enhancement.

@antigenius0910 (Slack platform review)

5 main + 2 secondary concerns: echo via DM breaks onboarding, is_bot derivation pinning, slash commands scope, Enterprise Grid trust key, non-message events

✅ All addressed in d5c420c + dcf4264 + fae8b09: Slack echo = chat.postEphemeral; is_bot per-platform derivation table pinned; slash commands scope note (Slack doesn't consume them); Enterprise Grid workspace_id + composite trust key; assistant_thread_started must flow through Trust Gate; Socket Mode scope stated; MPIM = channel documented.

@wangyuyan-agent (Feishu platform review)

3 concerns: fragile line-number refs, allowed_groups destination + double-gating + fail-open, is_bot vs trusted_bot_ids circular dependency

✅ All addressed in d5c420c + fae8b09: Line-number refs replaced with symbol + semantic descriptions; Feishu double-gating eliminated (gateway = L1 only, empty list = deny-all); trusted_bot_ids documented as shared config readable by all layers.

5️⃣ Three Reasons We Might Not Need This PR

1. The original ADR is already merged and Phase 0/0.5 is implemented — This revision could be a separate follow-up ADR rather than superseding the existing one, avoiding confusion about which doc is canonical.
2. Implementation may diverge from pseudocode anyway — The ADR is now ~1100 lines of detailed pseudocode; real implementation will inevitably differ in edge cases, potentially making the ADR a maintenance burden rather than a living reference.
3. Platform-specific extensions add complexity before validation — LINE group policy, Slack Enterprise Grid workspace-scoped trust, and the echo trait table are speculative designs that haven't been validated against real multi-platform deployments yet.

Counterarguments: (1) Superseding is cleaner — one canonical ADR, not two conflicting docs. (2) The pseudocode precision prevents the "ADR says X but code does Y" drift that plagued the original. (3) Platform reviewers validated against real source code — these aren't speculative, they're derived from actual adapter implementations.

Review Summary

Mob review with 8 reviewers covering correctness, architecture, security, docs/UX, spec verification, and operability. All critical and important findings have been resolved in commits 3cd9cb0 → fae8b09 → 7a99635 → 6dc0e33.

Findings Addressed

#	Severity	Finding	Resolution	Commit
1	🔴	Cron bypass sender_id spoofing via WeCom freeform UserIDs	Removed sender_id check; bypass only on platform == "cron"	3cd9cb0

14	🟢	Type-level enforcement, ownership-transfer gate, bounded echo rate-limit, phased rollout	Well-designed	—

What's Good

• Three-layer architecture with compile-time trust boundary (GatedEvent private constructor)
• Fail-closed defaults throughout (empty sender_id rejected, unknown platform = deny-all)
• #[non_exhaustive] on Decision enum for forward compatibility
• Feishu double-gating elimination with clear deprecation timeline
• Comprehensive platform coverage (8 platforms, all tables pinned)
• Phased rollout avoids hard cutover

Nits Deferred to Implementation

• run_gateway_platforms gw_event.clone() could be a move (pseudocode only)
• trusted_bot_ids migration path from gateway env not explicitly phased
• ADR status still "Proposed" — update to "Accepted" on merge
• LINE deny-echo silent drop should have warn! log for observability

[chaodu-agent]

Note

LGTM ✅ — Thorough revision of the identity-trust-none ADR, successfully addresses all platform-specific review findings with concrete, implementable design.

What This PR Does

Revises the identity-trust-none ADR from a conceptual "single router-level gate" design to a fully specified three-layer adapter architecture (Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler) with type-level enforcement (GatedEvent private constructor), addressing all findings from the mob review on PR #1263 and subsequent LINE, Slack, and Feishu platform-specific reviews.

How It Works

The ADR splits each adapter into a Receiver (transport + L1 + normalization to InboundEvent) and a Handler (platform-specific interaction logic), connected by a unified Trust Gate that produces GatedEvent — a type whose constructor is private to crate::trust::gate. This makes accidental bypass a compile error. Platform-specific extensions (LINE group policy, Slack Enterprise Grid workspace scoping) are handled via a PlatformTrustConfig enum that dispatches decide() to the appropriate variant. A phased rollout (Phase 0→3) prevents hard cutover breakage.

Findings

#	Severity	Finding	Location
1	🟢	Type-level trust boundary design is sound — GatedEvent private constructor + module-scoped seal() gives compile-time safety guarantee	§4.2
2	🟢	Comprehensive platform-specific echo delivery table addresses all reviewer concerns (LINE Reply-only, Slack ephemeral, no UID leak in groups)	§5 Echo
3	🟢	Reserved platform validation with MUST-level invariants closes the cron bypass spoofing vector thoroughly	§5 gate_event
4	🟢	Phased rollout (Phase 0→3) with startup-error-not-silent-denial is operator-friendly and avoids breaking deployments	§6
5	🟢	Slack Enterprise Grid handling with workspace-scoped trust is well-reasoned; composite key fallback covers non-Grid tokens	§5 SlackTrustConfig
6	🟢	is_bot per-platform derivation table is pinned with platform-specific gotchas documented (Feishu unreliable sender_type, WeCom enter_agent)	§5 Bot handling
7	🟢	Bounded rate-limit cache requirement (LRU + TTL) addresses OOM attack vector from spoofed sender IDs	§5 Echo safeguards
8	🟢	Non-message event gating table (assistant_thread_started, context_changed) closes the Slack bypass vector	§7
9	🟢	New rejected alternative (gate inside Dispatcher) documents why the previous handle_message() approach was insufficient	§8

• The GatedEvent private-constructor pattern is an excellent use of Rust's type system for security enforcement — makes "forgot to check trust" impossible at compile time
• Cross-crate boundary documentation (gateway produces GatewayEvent, core wraps to InboundEvent) is clear about where types live
• The into_inner() escape hatch is properly scoped (pub(crate)) with documented rationale and Phase 1 tightening recommendation
• #[cfg(test)] assume_trusted_for_test() balances testing ergonomics with production safety
• Each platform reviewer's concerns are individually tracked with explicit resolutions — auditable and complete
• The "What stays in Handlers" section cleanly separates structural/trigger logic from identity trust
• LINE @mention pre-filter documented as deliberate Receiver exception (not swept under the rug)
• Gateway event.platform assigned by routing config (not payload body) satisfies the reserved platform invariant elegantly

5️⃣ Three Reasons We Might Not Need This PR

1. The original ADR is already merged and Phase 0/0.5 are done on main — The implementation is progressing under the simpler model. This revision could cause confusion if implementers are already coding against the original spec. Counter: the three-layer architecture resolves fundamental design gaps (slash command bypass, Feishu double-gating) that would require rework anyway.

2. 1160-line ADR may be too detailed for a design document — At this length, the ADR is approaching implementation-specification territory. Some details (exact is_bot derivation per platform, rate-limit cache sizing) could live in implementation docs closer to the code. Counter: the detail level is what enabled platform reviewers to validate correctness without seeing code — it's a deliberate choice for a security-critical design.

3. Platform-specific extensions (LINE groups, Slack Grid) add complexity before proving base case — The enum dispatch (PlatformTrustConfig::Base/Line/Slack) adds indirection. Could ship the base TrustConfig first, add extensions when those platforms actually onboard. Counter: LINE and Feishu are already live on gateway — their trust quirks are known today, and designing the extension point now avoids a breaking refactor later.

Maintainer review — Approving ✅

🟢 Green — solid, no action needed

• Three-layer split fixes the real v1 flaw: the gate at handle_message() was downstream of slash commands; Receiver → Trust Gate → Handler puts it structurally upstream of all platform logic.
• Type-level enforcement section is honest: module-level boundary, pub(crate) unwrap, cfg(test) escape hatch all documented explicitly — no overselling of compile-time safety.
• Fail-closed everywhere it matters: empty sender_id denied, unknown platforms → deny-all default, LINE defaults to members, Feishu empty-list flipped from fail-open to deny-all, bounded LRU on the echo rate limiter.
• Phase 2 startup error instead of silent denial — right operator experience.

🟡 Yellow — non-blocking, please address (here or in #1262)

1. Cron bypass reintroduces the scattered-checks pattern (§7 reserved platform validation). The invariant requires every Receiver to independently reject platform == "cron" — N distributed checks where forgetting one is a trust bypass, exactly the failure mode §2 criticizes. The typed-provenance fix (InboundSource::SystemCron / External { platform }) is already in the ADR but marked SHOULD; upgrade to MUST for Phase 1 and treat the string-match blocklist as transitional only.
2. Residual echo loop on platforms without native bot flags. On Feishu/WeCom, is_bot derives from trusted_bot_ids.contains(sender), so an unknown bot gets is_bot = false, passes L3 as a human, and triggers a deny-echo — the "bot exclusion, no echo" safeguard can't fire. Two such bots could ping-pong (bounded by the 5-min rate limit). Add one sentence to the echo-safeguards section acknowledging this.
3. "Discord guarantees DM delivery" is inaccurate — users can disable DMs from server members, and bot DMs fail with no shared guild. Change the rationale cell to "best-effort DM."

🔴 Red — blocking

None.

Approving now; yellows are doc-level fixes that don't need a re-review.
