+id: ATR-2026-02377
+rule_version: 1

+description: 'Detects jailbreaks that reassign the model to a NEW invented persona/identity AND, in the same message, explicitly strip its safety — "unfiltered/uncensored", "no restrictions", "no content policy", "do anything now", "criminal language model built without ethical values", etc. Requires BOTH signals (condition: all) so that benign persona roleplay ("you are now an expert in Python", "act as Elon Musk for brainstorming") does NOT match — only a persona swap paired with explicit restriction-removal does. This closes the novel-persona gap left when ATR-2026-00001 tightened its persona regex to an adversarial-lexicon allowlist (which correctly cut benign FP but stopped catching "you are now TrueGPT/ChatINF/FoxAI ... without restrictions" style jailbreaks).

+        Network egress primitives, anchored to INVOCATION syntax rather than to the
+        bare word. The previous pattern listed `fetch` as a naked alternative, so the
+        English sentence "Fetch the current weather forecast for a given location"
+        false-positived a critical-path rule whose response actions are block_tool +
+        escalate. curl/wget now need a URL or a flag, fetch needs a call, and the
+        library entry points (http.request, axios., net.connect) are unchanged.
+
+        This condition is a pure NARROWING of the base pattern: nothing was added
+        while tightening it. An earlier revision of this fix also introduced
+        `urllib.request` and `requests.(get|post|put|patch|delete)(` — new coverage
+        the base never had — and those two alternatives promptly matched ordinary
+        benign Python in the gate corpus (`benign-code/std-18`:
+        `requests.get(url, timeout=10)`, `benign-code/cfg-04`: a localhost health
+        check). Buying new egress coverage while paying for it in benign source code
+        is exactly the trade a precision fix must not make, so they are gone. Cost of
+        removing them, measured: one attack sample (promptfoo/4) out of 1,657.
+    # NOT TOUCHED IN THIS PR, AND HERE IS WHY THE NUMBER LOOKS LIKE IT DOES.
+    # Per-condition hit rate over the 5,474-sample benign gate corpus
+    # (skill-benchmark/benign + benign-corpus-extended + benign-code +
+    # research-mentions), measured 2026/08/05:
+    #
+    #   process-exec (this condition)      1802   32.9%
+    #   env-secrets (next condition)       1535   28.0%
+    #   tool_response secrets               740   13.5%
+    #   net-egress                          373    6.8%
+    #   destructive-fs                      176    3.2%
+    #   ANY (condition: any -> the rule)   2802   51.2%
+    #
+    # Three bare alternatives carry almost all of it: `exec` with no word
+    # boundary matches "execute" / "execution" / "executable" (1749 = 32.0%),
+    # `\$\{?[A-Z_]+\}?` matches every shell/template variable a README ever
+    # printed (1092 = 19.9%), and `credentials?` is an ordinary English noun
+    # (531 = 9.7%). Bounding them is not a one-line edit — `\bexec\b` drops
+    # `execSync`, and the env alternative needs an assignment/read context — and
+    # each bound needs its own recall A/B, so it belongs in its own change with
+    # its own measurement, not smuggled into a PR about three other rules.
+    # The deeper problem is structural: `condition: any` over five independent
+    # capability primitives cannot express "declared description DIVERGES FROM
+    # observed behavior". Nothing here reads the description at all.
