A replay harness can prove policy behavior, but the strongest agent proof is body-entry evidence. The prohibited Hermes handlers contain marker writers that would commit visible files if Imladri ever let a dangerous body start. The passing run shows those files never appeared, and the follow-up readiness runner proves the same boundary under model turns, concurrent adversarial replay, malformed policy inputs, and a 50-action prohibited matrix.
Safe tools executed first, then prohibited tools were blocked.
The verifier loaded the Imladri plugin through Hermes' real PluginManager and dispatched each tool through the Hermes registry. Allowed calls reached the bridge and body. Prohibited calls returned locally before the bridge or body could run.
| Action | Hermes tool | Result |
|---|---|---|
hermes.version | imladri_hermes_version | allowed body ran |
ticket.summarize | imladri_ticket_summarize | allowed body ran |
customer.lookup | imladri_customer_lookup | allowed body ran |
cloud.deploy.production | imladri_cloud_deploy_production | blocked before body |
customer.export | imladri_customer_export | blocked before body |
payment.transfer | imladri_payment_transfer | blocked before body |
The dangerous body would have written a file if it ran.
The three prohibited handlers are intentionally instrumented with side-effect marker files. A failure would leave one file for payment transfer, one for customer export, or one for production deploy. The public artifact records all three as absent.

The Hermes chain now matches the OpenClaw verification depth.
The newest run executes every Hermes proof path from one command: SDK build, plugin shape, fake-runtime bridge, real Hermes PluginManager, native side-effect sentinels, adversarial replay, latency budget, mutation fail-closed, action matrix, and model turns through three providers.

| Adversarial replay | 700/700 blocked |
| Latency budget | 140/140 under 200ms |
| Multi-turn attack | blocked at turn 8 |
| Malformed constitutions | 9/9 failed closed |
| Prohibited action matrix | 50/50 blocked |

| Full readiness runner | passed in 1m 9s |
The public packets show both the native boundary and the full replay suite.
The native JSON includes the ordered tool sequence, bridge calls, blocked action results, and side-effect marker map. The readiness artifacts add the 700-request adversarial replay, 140-request latency-budget run, 9 malformed constitutions, the 50-action prohibited matrix, and the three-provider model-turn summary.

This is still explicit wrapping.
The result proves the Imladri-wrapped Hermes plugin path can guard native Hermes tool bodies. It does not claim arbitrary unwrapped Hermes plugins are protected automatically. The production pattern remains explicit: put dangerous functions behind the Imladri wrapper, publish a fail-closed policy, and export evidence after the run.
