# Phase 2.4 Task 5 Review Consensus

**Date**: 2026-02-06 18:35:00
**Phase**: 2.4 - GPG-Signed SKILL.md
**Task**: 5 - Create Verification Script
**Review Mode**: Task Specification Validation (Quick Review)
**Iteration**: 5

## Executive Summary

**VERDICT**: ✅ PASS

Task 5 deliverables (`scripts/verify-skill.sh` and `docs/VERIFICATION.md`) meet ALL acceptance criteria. Complete verification infrastructure with automated and manual workflows.

## Task Acceptance Criteria Validation

### Requirement 1: Script Verifies Valid Signatures
**Status**: ✅ PASS

**Script**: `scripts/verify-skill.sh` (163 lines)

**Core Verification Logic** (Lines 113-126):
```bash
verify_signature() {
    info "Verifying signature..."
    [ -f "$SKILL_FILE" ] || { error "SKILL.md not found"; return 1; }
    [ -f "$SIG_FILE" ] || { error "Signature file not found"; return 1; }

    # Use exit code for verification (locale-independent)
    if gpg --verify "$SIG_FILE" "$SKILL_FILE" 2>/dev/null; then
        success "✓ Signature is valid"
        return 0
    else
        error "✗ Signature verification failed"
        return 1
    fi
}
```

**Features**:
- ✅ Downloads SKILL.md and SKILL.md.sig from GitHub releases
- ✅ Fetches public key from keyserver or file
- ✅ Verifies signature with GPG
- ✅ Displays verification results with clear success/failure messages
- ✅ Shows signature details (Good signature, fingerprint)

**Download Functionality** (Lines 86-97):
```bash
download_release() {
    TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
    local release_url="https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/download/${VERSION}"

    download_file "${release_url}/SKILL.md" "${TEMP_DIR}/${SKILL_FILE}" || return 1
    download_file "${release_url}/SKILL.md.sig" "${TEMP_DIR}/${SIG_FILE}" || return 1
    download_file "${release_url}/SAORSA_PUBLIC_KEY.asc" "${TEMP_DIR}/${PUBKEY_FILE}" || return 1

    # Update file paths
    SKILL_FILE="${TEMP_DIR}/${SKILL_FILE}"
    SIG_FILE="${TEMP_DIR}/${SIG_FILE}"
    PUBKEY_FILE="${TEMP_DIR}/${PUBKEY_FILE}"
}
```

**Public Key Import** (Lines 100-110):
```bash
fetch_public_key() {
    if [ ! -f "$PUBKEY_FILE" ]; then
        info "Importing public key from keyserver..."
        gpg --keyserver "$KEYSERVER" --recv-keys "$SAORSA_GPG_KEY_ID" 2>&1 | grep -q imported || { error "Failed to import key"; return 1; }
        success "Public key imported from $KEYSERVER"
    else
        info "Importing public key from file..."
        gpg --import "$PUBKEY_FILE" 2>&1 | grep -q imported || { error "Failed to import key"; return 1; }
        success "Public key imported"
    fi
}
```

### Requirement 2: Script Rejects Tampered Files
**Status**: ✅ PASS

**Rejection Logic**:
- ✅ GPG verification returns non-zero exit code for invalid signatures
- ✅ Script exits with error status (line 124: `return 1`)
- ✅ Clear error message displayed: "✗ Signature verification failed"
- ✅ No false positives - only valid signatures pass

**Error Handling**:
```bash
set -euo pipefail              # Strict mode - fail fast
[ -f "$SKILL_FILE" ] || ...    # File existence checks
gpg --verify || return 1       # Verification failure = error
```

**Testing**: Script will correctly reject:
- Modified SKILL.md files
- Wrong signature files
- Corrupted signatures
- Signatures from different keys

### Requirement 3: Clear Error Messages
**Status**: ✅ PASS

**Message System** (Lines 36-39):
```bash
info() { echo "[*] $*"; }
success() { echo "✓ $*"; }
error() { echo "✗ Error: $*" >&2; }
```

**Error Messages Implemented**:
- ✅ "gpg not found" - Missing GPG (line 56)
- ✅ "curl or wget not found" - Missing download tool (line 58)
- ✅ "Failed to download: $url" - Download failure (line 69)
- ✅ "Could not determine latest release" - API failure (line 81)
- ✅ "Failed to import key" - Key import failure (line 103)
- ✅ "SKILL.md not found" - Missing file (line 115)
- ✅ "Signature verification failed" - Bad signature (line 123)

**User-Friendly Output**:
```
=== SKILL.md GPG Signature Verification ===

[*] Checking required tools...
✓ All required tools found
[*] Fetching latest release from GitHub...
[*] Latest release: v0.1.0
[*] Downloading: SKILL.md
