promotion binding is missing hidden-oracle or dependency dig

Error message

promotion binding is missing hidden-oracle or dependency digests

What it means

Raised by `validate_promotion_for_apply` when any selected task is not a dict, or any of its five digest fields (oracle_digest, oracle_command_digest, oracle_manifest_digest, sandbox_dependency_content_digest, sandbox_dependency_manifest_digest) is not a 64-hex-char SHA-256 string. These hidden-oracle and dependency digests pin exact evidence.

Solutions

1. Inspect each selected task's five digest fields and confirm each is a 64-char lowercase hex string.
2. Re-run the benchmark ensuring oracle and sandbox-dependency assets are fully captured for every selected task.
3. Drop tasks whose oracle/dependency digests cannot be produced, or fix the task definitions to include them.

import re
pat = re.compile(r'[0-9a-f]{64}')
fields = ('oracle_digest','oracle_command_digest','oracle_manifest_digest','sandbox_dependency_content_digest','sandbox_dependency_manifest_digest')
for i, t in enumerate(selected_tasks):
    if not isinstance(t, dict) or any(not isinstance(t.get(f), str) or pat.fullmatch(t[f]) is None for f in fields):
        raise ValueError(f'selected task {i} missing valid hidden-oracle/dependency digests')

def has_valid_digests(task: dict) -> bool:
    import re
    pat = re.compile(r'[0-9a-f]{64}')
    fields = ('oracle_digest','oracle_command_digest','oracle_manifest_digest','sandbox_dependency_content_digest','sandbox_dependency_manifest_digest')
    return isinstance(task, dict) and all(isinstance(task.get(f), str) and pat.fullmatch(task[f]) for f in fields)

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `validate_promotion_for_apply(..., selected_tasks=[...])` where a task is missing a digest field, has a wrong-length hash, or contains a non-hex digest.

Common situations: A promotion.json from a run whose hidden oracle/dependency capture was incomplete (e.g. dependency manifest not materialized), or a tasks file missing oracle/dependency definitions for a selected task.
