From c7db3afb41dc74a03527388622462169e7c488a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Matthew Tennant Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 13:48:06 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] test(security): show security explanation sessions can run tools and leak updates Goose injects load_skill into every session, so removing extensions leaves a tool the model can call. Its permission request and the session's config updates reach the visible app handlers.
