The exemption added in 6a8a7b31 was broader than the invariant it stood on. "Tool
declares a SOURCE_PATH" is a claim about the parameter list; the safe property is
"every byte written derives from an existing source object rather than from
model-supplied content". A future transform or import tool could name a source and
still write model-controlled output, and would have inherited the exemption.
ToolCapability.CONTENT_FROM_SOURCE now carries that provenance claim explicitly.
file_copy declares it; ReadBeforeWriteRule.appliesTo stands down only for calls that
do, so ToolCallAssessor skips the rule rather than the rule skipping itself. The
capability is recorded on the invocation event like every other one, so replay
classifies a call by what it actually claimed instead of re-deriving it from
parameters.
Tool availability is by declared tool name, not capability-set containment, so the
extra capability does not narrow which stages can reach file_copy.
Tests: the exemption is asserted through ToolCallAssessor, plus a source-naming tool
WITHOUT the provenance capability that stays gated. ./gradlew check green.

Three generic harness fixes from the web-ui postmortem dataset. Nothing here keys
on a language, framework, build tool or task type.
1. Failure attribution. WorkflowFailedEvent carries one primary FailureAttribution
(AGENT | HARNESS | WORKFLOW | ENVIRONMENT | PROVIDER | OPERATOR | UNKNOWN),
defaulted to UNKNOWN so pre-field events replay unchanged. FailureAttributor is
the deterministic reason->layer mapping, used both at emission and when
classifying history, so the baseline and the live metric are one measurement.
Emission sites set it: failWorkflow derives from the reason unless the caller
knows the layer, cancellation is OPERATOR, the server catch-all falls back to
HARNESS, a grounding-rejected plan is AGENT. Multi-cause chains stay on
FailureTicketOpened — no second causal structure.
GET /metrics/failure-attribution (FailureAttributionInspectionService, mirroring
ToolReliabilityInspectionService) reports counts, share, UNKNOWN share, the
preserved reasons and the ticket categories from the same sessions. Read-only:
historical events are classified at READ time and reported as `inferred`, never
written back over an append-only log.
Baseline over the local log, 122 terminal failures: AGENT 51 (41.8%),
OPERATOR 28 (23.0%), WORKFLOW 19 (15.6%), PROVIDER 15 (12.3%), HARNESS 6 (4.9%),
ENVIRONMENT 3 (2.5%), UNKNOWN 0.
2. The `~` guard bug. ToolPath is now the ONE canonical normalization rule
(expand a leading `~`/`~/`, keep absolutes, anchor relatives on the session
working dir). Every filesystem tool, all six plane-2 path rules and the approval
preview resolve through it, so policy and existence checks inspect the path the
tool will operate on. `~/.gradle/init.d/offline.gradle` used to resolve to
`<workspace>/~/.gradle/...`: reported non-existent AND in-workspace, so the
reference gate called a real file a hallucination and the out-of-workspace prompt
never fired. Containment and external-read approval behaviour are unchanged —
the expanded path is simply outside the workspace, where it always belonged.
3. file_copy (#713). A first-class tool with the writer's jail, tier, receipt,
replay and CAS pre/post images; static and binary assets no longer move through
the model's token stream. Needed one generic split: ParamRole.SOURCE_PATH marks a
path a call reads FROM, so containment gates judge both params while write-target
gates (read-before-write, stale-write, write scope, write manifest) judge the
mutated one. ReadBeforeWriteRule exempts any call declaring a SOURCE_PATH: its
content comes from disk, not from memory, and requiring a read of a binary is
unsatisfiable. Existing tools declare no SOURCE_PATH, so their behaviour is
byte-identical.
Tests: ToolPathTest (9), FailureAttributionTest (10), PathNormalizationRuleTest (6),
FileCopyToolTest (10), plus a home-relative FileReadTool read. ./gradlew check green.
