AttackHaltError

Defined in: _worktrees/docs-release/gaunt-sloth/packages/core/src/core/shell/approvalStop.ts:62

§4.2 — an attack outcome: the command’s own structure evidenced compromise (§4.1.1 — credential targeting, privilege escalation, persistence, deception, obfuscation). Ends the agent loop; the model is told nothing and offered nothing.

[[TUI-C26]] will present this interactively as the §6.1 red banner — any key stops, typing run anyway runs this one command — BEFORE the throw; until then the run simply ends with this message, which is what a non-interactive session gets either way (§6.2).

The recovery this message names is deliberately the allow-list, not bypass. §4.2 makes approvals.allow the supported way to run such a command unattended (it is consulted before the rater, so it never reaches a halt at all); bypass also works and is far blunter — it turns off the rater, the escalation and the halt together, for every command, for the whole run. It is a last resort, not the answer, and the wording says so in that order.

static stackTraceLimit: number

Defined in: _worktrees/docs-release/gaunt-sloth/node_modules/.pnpm/@types+node@26.1.2/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Methods

captureStackTrace()

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Defined in: _worktrees/docs-release/gaunt-sloth/node_modules/.pnpm/@types+node@26.1.2/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}
