[MINOR] §15: No GDPR/privacy considerations documented for workflow task descriptions

[mvillmow]

Evidence

src/telemachy/executor.py, src/telemachy/agamemnon_client.py

Description

Workflow YAML files contain task description fields that users write freely. If task descriptions contain PII (names, emails, account IDs), these are transmitted to Agamemnon and logged by Telemachy without any privacy policy, data handling notice, or PII handling guidance.

Part of #92

Implementation Plan

Implementation Plan

Objective

Address issue #186 by adding the privacy/GDPR documentation that the issue explicitly requests, and only that. The prior plan was NOGO'd because it bundled an unrequested LOG_REDACT_PII runtime filter that introduced two MAJOR defects (false-positive redaction of legitimate workflow content like model names, and an SDK-bypass coupling bug). This revision drops the redaction filter entirely (resolving findings #1, #2, #3, #4 in one stroke) and ships a pure-documentation deliverable: docs/privacy.md, ADR-003, and cross-links from SECURITY.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, and the three example workflow YAMLs. The issue's single acceptance criterion — "GDPR/privacy considerations documented for workflow task descriptions" — is met by documentation alone.

Approach

Decision 1 — Documentation-only scope. The issue body says "no privacy policy, data handling notice, or PII handling guidance." It does not ask for a runtime control. Per P2/YAGNI and the reviewer's finding #3, this revision removes LOG_REDACT_PII, _logging.py, the config.py field, the cli.py wiring, and the redaction tests. The fix for findings #1 and #2 is to not ship the feature that caused them. Operators who need log redaction already have LOG_LEVEL=WARNING (existing knob, documented) and can layer their own log filter or shipping-side scrubber; that path is mentioned in docs/privacy.md as an operator-side option without Telemachy owning a heuristic regex.

Decision 2 — Privacy doc + ADR follow existing repo patterns. The repo uses ADRs for cross-cutting policy decisions (verified: docs/adr/001-http-polling-monitoring.md, docs/adr/002-decouple-from-maestro.md, template at docs/adr/template.md). The privacy stance — Telemachy treats workflow text as opaque application data, forwards it verbatim to Agamemnon, and logs subjects (not descriptions) at INFO — is exactly that kind of decision and belongs in an ADR. docs/privacy.md is the operator/author-facing guide; ADR-003 is the rationale.

Decision 3 — Data-flow table is grounded in the current code only, with no temporal hedging. Prior review finding #5 flagged the phrase "not logged today" as a stale-doc risk. The revised table states the current behavior factually and adds a maintenance note ("update this table when the NATS subscriber under #92 changes the data flow") so any PR landing #92 is forced to revisit the doc. Concrete grounding from grep -n "logger\.\(info\|warning\|debug\)" src/telemachy/executor.py src/telemachy/agamemnon_client.py:

• executor.py:307 logs task_spec.subject at INFO ("Submitted task '%s' → id=%s").
• executor.py:266 logs task_spec.subject at WARNING when a dep failed.
• executor.py:226-231 logs task_spec.subject at INFO in dry-run mode.
• agamemnon_client.py:228-231 puts spec.description into the wire payload.
• No log statement in executor.py or agamemnon_client.py emits task.description — confirmed by grep -n "spec\.description\|task\.description" src/telemachy/.

Decision 4 — No schema change. Per CLAUDE.md ("Workflow YAML is a public API — any change to required fields … requires a MINOR/MAJOR bump"), no contains_pii field is added. The issue does not require it; documenting the constraint and pointing authors at opaque-ID patterns is sufficient.

Decision 5 — Cross-link from places authors actually read. Verified targets exist: SECURITY.md (top-level), README.md (top-level), CLAUDE.md (project instructions, already loaded into every agent session per the system context), and workflows/{example,hello-world,fleet-deploy}.yaml. A one-line YAML comment at the top of each workflow file means every author who copy-paste-edits an example sees the warning before writing their first task description.

# Privacy & PII Handling in Telemachy Workflows

## Scope

Telemachy is a workflow engine. It does not store, classify, or anonymise the
free-text fields that workflow authors put into a workflow YAML. This document
tells authors and operators what happens to that text and how to keep personal
data out of the data flow.

## What text leaves the Telemachy process

The table below reflects Telemachy's current code paths. **Maintenance note:**
update this table whenever the data flow changes — in particular, the planned
NATS event subscriber under #92 may introduce new sinks; that PR must revise
this table.

| Field                             | Sent to Agamemnon? | Logged by Telemachy? | Log level (where) |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------- | ----------------- |
| `metadata.name`                   | No                 | Yes                  | INFO (`executor.py:103`) |
| `metadata.description`            | No                 | No                   | —                 |
| `agents[].name`, `agents[].model` | Yes (agent create) | Yes                  | DEBUG (`executor.py:194`) |
| `teams[].name`                    | Yes (team create)  | Yes                  | INFO (`executor.py:235`) |
| `tasks[].subject`                 | Yes (task create)  | Yes                  | INFO (`executor.py:307`); WARNING when a dependency fails (`executor.py:264-272`) |
| `tasks[].description`             | Yes (task create — see `agamemnon_client.py:228-231`) | No | — |

## Author guidance

- Treat `subject` and `description` as text that will be transmitted to
  Agamemnon. Treat `subject` additionally as text that will appear in
  Telemachy logs at INFO and may be persisted by your operator's log
  aggregation. Do not paste:
  - personal names, email addresses, phone numbers
  - government / account / customer IDs
  - secrets, API keys, or credentials
- Reference data by stable opaque IDs (e.g. `customer_id=42`) rather than
  identifying values where possible.
- If a task genuinely requires personal data (e.g. processing a support
  ticket), see "Operator controls" below and coordinate with your operator.

## Operator controls

Telemachy ships no built-in redaction filter — adding one in-tree would
require a heuristic regex that risks redacting legitimate content (model
names, agent names, task subjects). Operators have these levers instead:

- **`LOG_LEVEL=WARNING`** — suppresses the INFO-level subject logging in
  `executor.py:307`. WARNING-level logs still emit subjects when a
  dependency fails (`executor.py:264-272`), so this is a coarse but
  effective lever.
- **Log-shipping-side scrubbing** — apply your existing log-aggregation
  scrubber (Vector, Fluent Bit, Logstash, GCP Cloud Logging redaction
  configs, etc.) to the `telemachy` logger stream. Operators already
  using one of these tools should configure it there rather than rely on
  Telemachy for content classification.
- **Agamemnon-side controls** — Agamemnon's own retention, access control,
  and audit logging are out of scope for Telemachy; consult its
  documentation for your deployed instance.

## GDPR & lawful basis

Telemachy does not determine the purpose or means of any personal data its
operators choose to put into a workflow — it relays text the author wrote
to the Agamemnon instance the operator configured. Operators that process
personal data through Telemachy are the controllers for that processing
and must establish their own lawful basis, retention policy, data-subject
request workflow, and data-processing agreement with the Agamemnon
operator. This document does not constitute legal advice; consult your
own counsel.

# ADR-003: PII handling stance for workflow text

- **Status:** Accepted
- **Date:** 2026-06-03
- **Deciders:** mvillmow
- **Context tags:** privacy, logging, schema

## Context

Workflow YAML files contain free-text `subject` and `description` fields.
There is no schema constraint, validator, or runtime redaction. The text is
transmitted to ProjectAgamemnon (`agamemnon_client.py:228-231`) and the
`subject` is emitted to the `telemachy` logger at INFO (`executor.py:307`).
Issue #186 flagged the absence of any GDPR / privacy guidance.

## Decision

1. Telemachy treats workflow text as opaque application data and forwards
   it to Agamemnon verbatim. Rewriting `description` on the wire would
   silently break workflows.
2. Telemachy does NOT ship an in-tree PII redaction filter. A heuristic
   regex over log messages would have false-positive redactions on
   legitimate content (model names like `claude-opus-4-8`, agent names,
   typical task subjects), giving operators a false sense of guarantee.
   Operators that need redaction should apply it at their log-shipping
   layer where it can be tuned to their actual log format.
3. We document the data flow, author guidance, and operator levers in
   `docs/privacy.md` and link it from `SECURITY.md`, `README.md`,
   `CLAUDE.md`, and the example workflow YAMLs.
4. We do NOT add a `contains_pii` schema field. Doing so would be a MINOR
   public-API bump per `docs/backwards-compat.md` and would not actually
   block personal data from being submitted.

## Consequences

- Operators get an explicit, documented data-handling story they can take
  to a privacy review.
- No new env vars, no new code, no schema change, no behavior change.
- Operators retain responsibility for choosing a log-redaction approach
  (shipping-side scrubber, `LOG_LEVEL=WARNING`, etc.).
- The privacy table in `docs/privacy.md` must be revisited when issue
  #92's NATS subscriber lands, since that may introduce new sinks.

## Alternatives considered

- **Ship an in-tree opt-in `LOG_REDACT_PII` filter.** Rejected — the only
  workable heuristic (long-alnum-run redaction) routinely matches model
  names, agent names, and task subjects, producing degraded log output
  for operators who enable it. False sense of guarantee for a feature
  the issue did not request.
- **Add `contains_pii: bool` to `TaskSpec` and refuse to log when true.**
  Rejected — would not prevent PII transmission to Agamemnon, forces a
  MINOR version bump, and places enforcement on workflow authors.
- **Rewrite `description` on the wire.** Rejected — breaks Agamemnon-side
  task execution.

Files to Modify

SECURITY.md

Append a new section linking to the privacy doc, after the "Reporting Security Vulnerabilities" block:

## Privacy & PII in Workflow Text

Workflow `subject` and `description` fields are forwarded verbatim to
ProjectAgamemnon, and `subject` is also emitted to Telemachy logs at INFO.
See [`docs/privacy.md`](docs/privacy.md) for author guidance, the full
data-flow table, and operator-side controls.

README.md

Add a short subsection in the existing configuration / environment area:

### Privacy & PII

Task `subject` and `description` are forwarded to ProjectAgamemnon, and
`subject` appears in Telemachy logs at INFO. See
[`docs/privacy.md`](docs/privacy.md) before putting personal data into a
workflow YAML.

CLAUDE.md

Append one bullet to the ## Agent Guardrails section:

- **Never paste PII (names, emails, account IDs, secrets) into workflow
  `subject` or `description` fields.** `subject` is logged by Telemachy at
  INFO and both are transmitted to Agamemnon. See `docs/privacy.md`.

No env-var-table change is made (no new env var is introduced).

workflows/example.yaml, workflows/hello-world.yaml, workflows/fleet-deploy.yaml

Add a one-line YAML comment block at the very top of each file, immediately above apiVersion:

# NOTE: `subject` and `description` are forwarded to Agamemnon; `subject` is
# logged by Telemachy at INFO. Do not include PII or secrets in these fields.
# See docs/privacy.md.

YAML parsers ignore leading comments, so the example workflows remain
schema-valid (verified pattern: existing comments in workflow YAMLs are
preserved by the Pydantic parser, since the YAML loader strips comments
before WorkflowSpec.model_validate sees the data).

Implementation Order

1. Write docs/adr/003-pii-handling-stance.md (decision recorded first).
2. Write docs/privacy.md (the primary deliverable per the issue title).
3. Append the "Privacy & PII in Workflow Text" section to SECURITY.md.
4. Add the "Privacy & PII" subsection to README.md.
5. Append the PII guardrail bullet to the ## Agent Guardrails section of CLAUDE.md.
6. Prepend the NOTE comment block to workflows/example.yaml, workflows/hello-world.yaml, and workflows/fleet-deploy.yaml.
7. Run pixi run just validate workflows/example.yaml workflows/hello-world.yaml workflows/fleet-deploy.yaml to confirm the YAML comments did not break parsing (Agent Guardrails rule from CLAUDE.md).
8. Run pixi run pytest --cov=telemachy --cov-fail-under=75 to confirm the CI coverage gate still passes (no code changed → coverage unaffected, but the gate is the canonical green check per CLAUDE.md).
9. Open PR; reference issue [MINOR] §15: No GDPR/privacy considerations documented for workflow task descriptions #186 and epic Epic: Strict audit 2026-04-28 — ProjectTelemachy #92.

Verification

# Acceptance criterion: GDPR/privacy considerations are now documented
# for workflow task descriptions (the entire ask in the issue body).
test -f docs/privacy.md && test -f docs/adr/003-pii-handling-stance.md

# Acceptance criterion: author-facing entry points cross-link the new
# privacy doc, so authors find it without having to know it exists.
grep -l "docs/privacy.md" SECURITY.md README.md CLAUDE.md \
    workflows/example.yaml workflows/hello-world.yaml workflows/fleet-deploy.yaml

# Acceptance criterion: example workflows still validate against the
# Pydantic schema after the documentation comment was added (Agent
# Guardrails: validate before PR).
pixi run just validate workflows/example.yaml
pixi run just validate workflows/hello-world.yaml
pixi run just validate workflows/fleet-deploy.yaml

# Acceptance criterion: no behavior regression — no code changed, but
# confirm the existing test suite still meets the 75% coverage floor
# documented in CLAUDE.md and enforced by CI.
pixi run pytest --cov=telemachy --cov-fail-under=75

# Acceptance criterion: lint clean (no source files changed; sanity
# check that documentation edits did not accidentally touch source).
pixi run ruff check src/telemachy tests

Skills Used

• Read, Bash (grep), Glob — to confirm the privacy gap (grep -n "PII\|GDPR\|privacy\|personal" SECURITY.md CONTRIBUTING.md README.md returned empty), to verify the actual data flow (grep -n "logger\.\(info\|warning\|debug\)" src/telemachy/executor.py src/telemachy/agamemnon_client.py and grep -n "spec\.description\|task\.description" src/telemachy/), to read the ADR template, and to enumerate the workflow YAMLs needing the comment.
• No team knowledge-base / marketplace skill was usable: the Prior Learnings block above reports the marketplace.json at /home/mvillmow/build/ProjectMnemosyne/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json was inaccessible, so no prior learnings were retrieved for this issue.

Changes from review

• Review finding fix: ecosystem audit — migrate config to pydantic-settings #1 (MAJOR — _LONG_ID_RE false-positive redaction of legitimate workflow content): Resolved by removing the redaction filter entirely from scope. _logging.py is no longer created; no regex ships.
• Review finding Remove backlog from _DONE_STATUSES — it is an initial state, not terminal #2 (MAJOR — SDK-bypass coupling: filter wired only in cli.py, missed by run_workflow() direct callers): Resolved by removing the filter entirely. There is no filter to wire, so there is no entry point to miss.
• Review finding Implement NATS event-driven monitoring instead of polling #3 (Minor — P2/YAGNI: runtime control not asked for by the issue): Resolved by scoping back to documentation only. The LOG_REDACT_PII env var, the log_redact_pii setting in config.py, and the cli.py wiring are all removed from this plan.
• Review finding Add tests for executor error paths (partial failures, cancellation) #4 (Minor — missing 12-char boundary test): Resolved by removing the filter; the test file tests/test_logging_redaction.py is no longer created because there is no behavior to test.
• Review finding Add team deletion to teardown — currently only deletes agents #5 (Minor — "not logged today" temporal hedging in privacy doc): Resolved by rewriting the privacy table to state current behavior factually (with explicit file:line references) and adding a maintenance note that pins the doc to revisit-on-Epic: Strict audit 2026-04-28 — ProjectTelemachy #92 instead of using vague temporal qualifiers. The text "not logged today" no longer appears.
• Reviewer's R0 closing note ("the simplest fix is to drop the redaction filter from scope"): This is the path taken. Documentation alone satisfies the single acceptance criterion in the issue body.

R1 Review: Issue #186

Verifying R0 Findings Were Resolved

R0 Finding #1 (MAJOR): _LONG_ID_RE false-positive redaction of legitimate workflow content

The R1 plan explicitly removes _logging.py, PIIRedactionFilter, and _LONG_ID_RE entirely. The plan states: "This revision drops the redaction filter entirely (resolving findings #1, #2, #3, #4 in one stroke)." The "Files to Create" section lists only docs/privacy.md and docs/adr/003-pii-handling-stance.md. There is no _logging.py, no regex, no LOG_REDACT_PII. RESOLVED.

R0 Finding #2 (MAJOR): SDK-bypass coupling — filter wired only in cli.py

Resolved by removal. No filter exists to wire, so no entry point can be missed. RESOLVED.

R0 Finding #3 (Minor): P2/YAGNI — runtime control not asked for by the issue

The plan explicitly cites the reviewer's YAGNI finding and scopes to documentation only. No new env vars, no new code. RESOLVED.

R0 Finding #4 (Minor): Missing 12-char boundary test

Resolved by removal of the test file entirely (no behavior to test). RESOLVED.

R0 Finding #5 (Minor): "not logged today" temporal hedging in privacy doc

The R1 plan rewrites the data-flow table to use present tense throughout. The table draft shows no temporal qualifiers — it uses declarative columns ("Sent to Agamemnon?", "Logged by Telemachy?") with factual present-tense answers. A "Maintenance note" is added to the table preamble directing future PR authors to revisit the doc when #92 lands. RESOLVED.

Dimension-by-Dimension Assessment

Dimension 1 — Requirements Alignment

The issue asks for GDPR/privacy considerations documented for workflow task descriptions. R1 delivers:

• docs/privacy.md (author guidance, data-flow table, operator controls, GDPR lawful-basis section)
• docs/adr/003-pii-handling-stance.md (decision record)
• Cross-links from SECURITY.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, all three example workflow YAMLs

The issue body names executor.py and agamemnon_client.py as evidence locations. The plan's data-flow table cites specific line numbers from both files (verified against live code above — all correct). PASS.

Dimension 2 — Plan Completeness

This is a documentation-only deliverable. The plan covers:

• Design: ADR-003 records the decision and alternatives considered
• Documentation: all six cross-link targets identified and specified
• Testing: no new code → the plan correctly relies on the existing pytest --cov-fail-under=75 gate for regression (no new behavior introduced)
• Verification: all acceptance criteria have concrete bash commands

No rollback consideration is needed — documentation PRs are reversible by revert. PASS.

Dimension 3 — Concreteness

Line numbers in the data-flow table verified against live code: executor.py:103, 194, 226-231, 235, 264-272, 307 and agamemnon_client.py:228-231 all match. ADR directory confirmed to exist with the expected pattern (001-, 002-, template). All three workflow YAMLs confirmed to exist. SECURITY.md and README.md confirmed at top level.

Minor: The plan says to add "Privacy & PII" subsection to README.md in the "existing configuration / environment area," but the Explore agent confirms README.md has no dedicated "Environment / Configuration" heading — environment setup is embedded in Quick Start. The plan's assumption ("Assumption: README.md and SECURITY.md have identifiable 'environment / configuration' and 'Reporting' sections") is already flagged in the Learnings block, and a reasonable implementer would find an adjacent section. Low severity, does not block implementation. MINOR FINDING.

Dimension 4 — Risk Surface

Documentation-only PR. Risks:

• Schema validation breakage from YAML comments: plan includes pixi run just validate for all three example YAMLs as step 7. Covered.
• Coverage regression: plan includes pixi run pytest --cov-fail-under=75 as step 8. Covered.
• Public API changes: explicitly ruled out (no schema field added, documented per docs/backwards-compat.md reference in ADR). Covered.
• Stale doc risk for Epic: Strict audit 2026-04-28 — ProjectTelemachy #92: maintenance note embedded in the table preamble, explicitly directing the Epic: Strict audit 2026-04-28 — ProjectTelemachy #92 PR author to revisit. The "Assumption" section acknowledges this is a social contract; no automated gate enforces it. This is acceptable for a documentation deliverable — a CI test enforcing "privacy.md must mention NATS" would be over-engineering. Acceptable.

No unmitigated material risks. PASS.

Dimension 5 — Verification Plan

Each acceptance criterion has a named, runnable command:

1. test -f docs/privacy.md && test -f docs/adr/003-pii-handling-stance.md — primary deliverables exist
2. grep -l "docs/privacy.md" SECURITY.md README.md CLAUDE.md workflows/*.yaml — cross-links present
3. pixi run just validate workflows/example.yaml (×3) — schema stability
4. pixi run pytest --cov=telemachy --cov-fail-under=75 — no regression
5. pixi run ruff check src/telemachy tests — lint clean

All commands are concrete and runnable. No code changes means coverage and lint checks are effectively guaranteed to pass, but running them is still correct practice. PASS.

Dimension 6 — Stage Handoff

The plan provides complete file contents for both new docs (copy-pasteable markdown), exact append locations for SECURITY.md and README.md, exact bullet text for CLAUDE.md, and the exact YAML comment block for all three workflow files. Implementation order is numbered 1–9. An implementer could execute this plan without any design decisions left open. PASS.

---

SE Principles

P1 — KISS: Documentation-only. No abstractions, no indirection. Simplest solution that meets the requirement. PASS.

P2 — YAGNI: Every deliverable maps to the stated acceptance criterion ("GDPR/privacy considerations documented"). No runtime controls, no schema changes, no new env vars. PASS.

P3 — TDD: No new code means no new tests are needed. The existing test suite (confirmed at 75%+ coverage baseline in CLAUDE.md) validates nothing regressed. PASS.

P4 — DRY: The data-flow table information appears in docs/privacy.md and is summarized (not duplicated) in ADR-003. Cross-links point to the canonical doc rather than repeating it. PASS.

P5 — SOLID: Not applicable to documentation deliverable. N/A.

P6 — Modularity: Not applicable. N/A.

P7 — POLA: The privacy doc states behaviors factually with file:line anchors. The operator controls section explicitly explains why Telemachy doesn't ship an in-tree redaction filter (false-positive risk documented in both privacy.md and ADR-003). Authors reading example YAMLs see the warning before writing their first description. PASS.

---

Consolidated Findings

#	Severity	Dimension	Finding
1	Minor	Dim 3	README.md has no dedicated "Environment/Configuration" section; the plan's insertion point description ("existing configuration / environment area") will need minor judgment by the implementer to locate

All four R0 major/minor findings are genuinely resolved in R1 (not just acknowledged — the mechanism causing them, the redaction filter, was removed from scope). The R0 reviewer's suggested path ("the simplest fix is to drop the redaction filter from scope") was taken exactly.

The single remaining minor finding is implementation guidance, not a correctness issue, and does not block.

Grade: A
Verdict: GO

The plan provides complete file contents for both new docs (copy-pasteable markdown), exact append locations for SECURITY.md and README.md, exact bullet text for CLAUDE.md, and the exact YAML comment block for all three workflow files. Implementation order is numbered 1–9. An implementer could execute this plan without any design decisions left open. PASS.

SE Principles

P1 — KISS: Documentation-only. No abstractions, no indirection. Simplest solution that meets the requirement. PASS.

P2 — YAGNI: Every deliverable maps to the stated acceptance criterion ("GDPR/privacy considerations documented"). No runtime controls, no schema changes, no new env vars. PASS.

P3 — TDD: No new code means no new tests are needed. The existing test suite (confirmed at 75%+ coverage baseline in CLAUDE.md) validates nothing regressed. PASS.

P4 — DRY: The data-flow table information appears in docs/privacy.md and is summarized (not duplicated) in ADR-003. Cross-links point to the canonical doc rather than repeating it. PASS.

P5 — SOLID: Not applicable to documentation deliverable. N/A.

P6 — Modularity: Not applicable. N/A.

P7 — POLA: The privacy doc states behaviors factually with file:line anchors. The operator controls section explicitly explains why Telemachy doesn't ship an in-tree redaction filter (false-positive risk documented in both privacy.md and ADR-003). Authors reading example YAMLs see the warning before writing their first description. PASS.

Consolidated Findings

#	Severity	Dimension	Finding
1	Minor	Dim 3	README.md has no dedicated "Environment/Configuration" section; the plan's insertion point description ("existing configuration / environment area") will need minor judgment by the implementer to locate

All four R0 major/minor findings are genuinely resolved in R1 (not just acknowledged — the mechanism causing them, the redaction filter, was removed from scope). The R0 reviewer's suggested path ("the simplest fix is to drop the redaction filter from scope") was taken exactly.

The single remaining minor finding is implementation guidance, not a correctness issue, and does not block.
