feat(taint): stage 1 of argument provenance — the tap records hosts fetched content named
deploy / test (push) Successful in 5m7s
deploy / build (push) Successful in 5m50s

The "derived from untrusted content" half of ActGov's invariant (no outbound
action whose target came from untrusted content). Observed only; no rule
reads it yet.

- the tap runs a node extractor only when a payload could be a fetch
  (WebFetch, WebSearch, curl/wget in command position) and appends the
  response's URL hosts, minus the agent's own target, to
  untrusted-hosts.txt beside the tap — a path hook-files already protects
- capped at 500, deduplicated, and the tap still always exits 0
- both tiers drain it per finished phase into a taint.hosts event
- shell-tested against the generated hook with the real node; the test caught
  `grep -r curl docs` being read as a fetch

**Staging.**
1. Taint extraction in the tap, writing the file. Nothing enforced. Inspect on
real missions: what does it actually collect?
**Built 2026-09-22.** `vm_tool_tap::NODE_TAINT` runs in the tap only when the
payload could be a fetch; the file is `untrusted-hosts.txt` in the tap's own
directory (covered by `hook-files` on both tiers, tested), capped at
`MAX_TAINT_HOSTS` = 500, drained per finished phase into `taint.hosts`.
Rules fixed by its shell test: `curl`/`wget` count only in command position
(`grep -r curl docs` is not a fetch), and a host that also appears in the
agent's own command or WebFetch `url` is the agent's choice, not the
page's. Known gap: `curl -o page.html` then `Read page.html` taints
nothing. The fetched body never passes through a fetching call's response.
2. `untrusted-target` in shadow (`gate.would_deny`), same as piece 1.
3. Enforce on the **container tier**, where public egress is open. On the VM
tier it is defence in depth behind an allow-list that already holds.
