<objective>
Verify threat mitigations for a completed phase. Three states:
- (A) SECURITY.md exists — audit and verify mitigations
- (B) No SECURITY.md, PLAN.md with threat model exists — run from artifacts
- (C) Phase not executed — exit with guidance
Output: updated SECURITY.md.
</objective>
<!-- Workflow content (was: secure-phase.md) -->
<purpose>
Verify threat mitigations for a completed phase. Confirm PLAN.md threat register dispositions are resolved. Update SECURITY.md.

Valid GSD subagent types (use exact names — do not fall back to 'general-purpose'):

## 0. Initialize
```bash
INIT=$(node "$GSD_TOOLS" init phase-op "${PHASE_ARG}")
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
AGENT_SKILLS_AUDITOR=$(node "$GSD_TOOLS" agent-skills gsd-security-auditor 2>/dev/null)
```
Parse: `phase_dir`, `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`.
```bash
AUDITOR_MODEL=$(node "$GSD_TOOLS" resolve-model gsd-security-auditor --raw)
SECURITY_CFG=$(node "$GSD_TOOLS" config-get workflow.security_enforcement --raw 2>/dev/null || echo "true")
```
If `SECURITY_CFG` is `false`: exit with "Security enforcement disabled. Enable via /gsd-settings."
Display banner: `GSD > SECURE PHASE {N}: {name}`
## 1. Detect Input State
```bash
SECURITY_FILE=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SECURITY.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
PLAN_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null)
SUMMARY_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null)
```
- **State A** (`SECURITY_FILE` non-empty): Audit existing
- **State B** (`SECURITY_FILE` empty, `PLAN_FILES` and `SUMMARY_FILES` non-empty): Run from artifacts
- **State C** (`SUMMARY_FILES` empty): Exit — "Phase {N} not executed. Run /gsd-execute-phase {N} first."
## 2. Discovery
### 2a. Read Phase Artifacts
Read PLAN.md — extract `<threat_model>` block: trust boundaries, STRIDE register (`threat_id`, `category`, `component`, `disposition`, `mitigation_plan`).
### 2b. Read Summary Threat Flags
Read SUMMARY.md — extract `## Threat Flags` entries.
### 2c. Build Threat Register
Per threat: `{ threat_id, category, component, disposition, mitigation_pattern, files_to_check }`
## 3. Threat Classification
Classify each threat:
| Status | Criteria |
|--------|----------|
| CLOSED | mitigation found OR accepted risk documented in SECURITY.md OR transfer documented |
| OPEN | none of the above |
Build: `{ threat_id, category, component, disposition, status, evidence }`
If `threats_open: 0` → skip to Step 6 directly.
## 4. Present Threat Plan
Call AskUserQuestion with threat table and options:
1. "Verify all open threats" → Step 5
2. "Accept all open — document in accepted risks log" → add to SECURITY.md accepted risks, set all CLOSED, Step 6
3. "Cancel" → exit
## 5. Spawn gsd-security-auditor
```
Task(
prompt="Read $HOME/.claude/agents/gsd-security-auditor.md for instructions.\n\n" +
"<files_to_read>{PLAN, SUMMARY, impl files, SECURITY.md}</files_to_read>" +
"<threat_register>{threat register}</threat_register>" +
"<config>asvs_level: {SECURITY_ASVS}, block_on: {SECURITY_BLOCK_ON}</config>" +
"<constraints>Never modify implementation files. Verify mitigations exist — do not scan for new threats. Escalate implementation gaps.</constraints>" +
"${AGENT_SKILLS_AUDITOR}",
subagent_type="gsd-security-auditor",
model="{AUDITOR_MODEL}",
description="Verify threat mitigations for Phase {N}"
)
```
Handle return:
- `## SECURED` → record closures → Step 6
- `## OPEN_THREATS` → record closed + open, present user with accept/block choice → Step 6
- `## ESCALATE` → present to user → Step 6
## 6. Write/Update SECURITY.md
**State B (create):**
1. Read template from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/SECURITY.md`
2. Fill: frontmatter, threat register, accepted risks, audit trail
3. Write to `${PHASE_DIR}/${PADDED_PHASE}-SECURITY.md`
**State A (update):**
1. Update threat register statuses, append to audit trail:
```markdown
## Security Audit {date}
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Threats found | {N} |
| Closed | {M} |
| Open | {K} |
```
**ENFORCING GATE:** If `threats_open > 0` after all options exhausted (user did not accept, not all verified closed):
```
GSD > PHASE {N} SECURITY BLOCKED
{K} threats open — phase advancement blocked until threats_open: 0
▶ Fix mitigations then re-run: /gsd-secure-phase {N}
▶ Or document accepted risks in SECURITY.md and re-run.
```
Do NOT emit next-phase routing. Stop here.
## 7. Commit
```bash
node "$GSD_TOOLS" commit "docs(phase-${PHASE}): add/update security threat verification"
```
## 8. Results + Routing
**Secured (threats_open: 0):**
```
GSD > PHASE {N} THREAT-SECURE
threats_open: 0 — all threats have dispositions.
▶ /gsd-validate-phase {N} validate test coverage
▶ /gsd-verify-work {N} run UAT
```
