Summary

Three composable primitives that close the operator-mind triad: KCode no longer reports ✓ PID X (3.0s) for spawns that crashed at boot, no longer launches doomed spawns into a saturated system, and no longer accepts blind retry of an identical command after a fresh failure. Together these would have prevented yesterday's Artemis bricking session from ever happening — the model would have hit a wall at iteration 1 instead of accumulating 50+ leaked dev-server processes.

All three phases share a single command-detection layer (detectServerSpawn) so they never fire on plain Bash calls (ls, git status, npm install, etc.).

Phase 1 — post-spawn HTTP verification

After a background spawn that matches a server pattern, probe 127.0.0.1:PORT/ with a ~3.5s retry budget instead of trusting the wrapper's "PID: X" output. 2xx/3xx/4xx counts as alive (404 = server up, just no route). 5xx and connection failures count as dead.

Failure path (Artemis case, PORT=15423 npm run dev in empty dir):

PID: 2370621
npm error code ENOENT
...

✗ node-dev health check FAILED on http://localhost:15423/
  probe: HTTP 000 (Unable to connect) after 4ms
  pid: 2370621 (alive=false)
  cwd: /tmp/foo
  output (last 15 lines):
    npm error code ENOENT
    ...
  Do NOT retry the same command without diagnosing first. Likely causes:
    - port 15423 already in use
    - dependencies missing
    - server crashed during boot

is_error: true. Model has to reason instead of looping.

Phase 2 — pre-flight: port + inotify

Refuses background server spawns BEFORE they run when:

  • Port collision: ss -tlnp shows the declared port already bound. Refusal report includes occupant PID + process name + 3 options (reuse / kill / different port).
  • inotify saturation: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances ≥85% used and the framework is watch-mode (next/vite/astro/nodemon/live-server/webpack/node-dev). Refusal explains how to clean leaked watchers AND how to raise the limit via sysctl. Snapshot is cached for 30s.

Phase 3 — retry interception

Tracks the last 64 Bash invocations in a process-local sliding window keyed by (cwd, normalized command). Normalization collapses whitespace and treats PORT=N/--port N changes as the same intent so the model can't bypass by bumping the port.

When the model issues a server-spawn command that matches a recent failure (within the 8-attempt retry window), the executor returns a STOP report and skips execution:

✗ STOP. You are retrying a command that just failed.

  command: PORT=15423 npm run dev
  cwd:     /home/curly/projects/my-site
  failed:  1 Bash call ago

  The previous failure said:
    npm error code ENOENT
    npm error path /home/curly/projects/my-site/package.json
    ...

  Retrying without changing anything will fail the same way and waste a turn.
  Before re-issuing this command you MUST do ONE of:
    1. Diagnose: explain in one sentence what would be different this time.
    2. Change the command: different cwd, different args, different tool.
    3. Read more state first (ls / ss / ps / cat the failing file).

  This message is NOT a real failure of the command — KCode skipped
  execution to protect you from a tight retry loop. The next attempt
  will run normally.

After the warning fires once, an internal acknowledgment lets the very next attempt run normally — escape hatch for the case where the model legitimately knows something the heuristic doesn't.

Phase 3 is scoped to commands that match detectServerSpawn() so sudo prompts, file ops, builds, and tests are never affected. The bash-sudo-cache tests still call executeBash with the same sudo command repeatedly — they continue to work because phase 3 ignores them.

End-to-end composition

Verified the three phases compose cleanly with PORT=N npm run dev in a tmpdir on a host with saturated inotify:

  • 1st attempt: phase 2 → inotify saturated, real failure
  • 2nd attempt: phase 3 → STOP, retry detected, execution skipped
  • 3rd attempt (post-acknowledgment): phase 2 again → still rejected

Files

src/core/bash-spawn-verifier.ts Phase 1: detection + port extraction + probe + verdict (270 lines)
src/core/bash-spawn-verifier.test.ts 53 unit cases incl. real Bun.serve() integration
src/core/bash-spawn-preflight.ts Phase 2: port collision + inotify saturation (170 lines)
src/core/bash-spawn-preflight.test.ts 8 unit cases incl. real port collision
src/core/bash-spawn-history.ts Phase 3: sliding-window retry detector (190 lines)
src/core/bash-spawn-history.test.ts 14 unit cases incl. scope filtering, retry window, acknowledgment
src/tools/bash.ts Wire all three: pre-flight before spawn, history check at top, verifier at close, history record after every call

Test plan

  • bun test src/core/bash-spawn-verifier.test.ts — 53 / 0
  • bun test src/core/bash-spawn-preflight.test.ts — 8 / 0
  • bun test src/core/bash-spawn-history.test.ts — 14 / 0
  • bun test (full) — 6069 pass / 11 skip / 2 fail (the 2 fails are pre-existing file-sync EMFILE flakies unrelated to this PR)
  • bun run build — production binary deployed to all 3 paths
  • End-to-end Artemis simulation:
    • executeBash({command: "PORT=N npm run dev", run_in_background: true}) in empty tmpdir → first call rejected by phase 2 with detailed inotify report; second call intercepted by phase 3 with STOP report; third call (post-ack) rejected again by phase 2
  • Phase 1 success path: executeBash({command: "python3 -m http.server N"}) against a real index.html → returns is_error: false, ✓ python-http live at http://localhost:N/ (HTTP 200, 7ms)
  • Phase 1 failure path: same command in an empty dir → real is_error: true with full diagnostic and ENOENT context
  • Phase 2 port collision: spawn Bun.serve() on ephemeral port, then call executeBash({command: "PORT=<that-port> npm run dev"})is_error: true, occupant PID and process name in the report
  • Manual smoke in a real KCode session: ask it to start a dev server in a directory that has no package.json, verify it reports the failure honestly and does NOT loop

What this is and isn't

It is: a defensive layer that makes the Bash tool report failure honestly and refuse to participate in spawn loops. It catches the 80% case (broken dev-server spawns) cheaply and surgically.

It isn't: a general "make the model smarter" feature. The model still has to reason about the failures it sees. What this PR changes is that the model now actually SEES the failures instead of being told everything succeeded.

… servers

Phase 1 of operator-mind: KCode used to report `✓ PID X (3.0s)` for
every background spawn even when the spawned server crashed at boot
on EMFILE / ENOENT package.json / EADDRINUSE / missing dep. The
model received a positive signal and would re-spawn the same broken
command on the next turn, accumulating dozens of orphaned processes
(50+ npm run dev / bun --watch leaked over a single session).

The verifier sits at the close of the bash-tool background path and:

  1. Pattern-matches the command against known long-running server
     spawns (next dev, vite, npm/bun/pnpm/yarn run dev, python -m
     http.server, flask run, uvicorn, gunicorn, rails s, php -S,
     caddy run, live-server, nodemon, serve/http-server).
  2. Resolves the actual port from PORT= env, --port=N, --port N,
     -p N (only for known servers), php -S host:N, python -m
     http.server N, or the framework default.
  3. HTTP-probes 127.0.0.1:PORT/ with retries (~3.5s budget).
  4. Treats 2xx/3xx/4xx as alive (404 = server up, just no route),
     5xx and connection failures as dead.
  5. On dead, returns is_error=true with a multi-line diagnostic:
     pid liveness, declared port, cwd, last 15 lines of stderr, and
     a "Do NOT retry without diagnosing first" guard with the most
     likely root causes spelled out.

The verifier is a separate module (`src/core/bash-spawn-verifier.ts`)
so it can be reused by future operator-mind primitives (e.g. the
upcoming pre-flight duplicate-spawn guard in phase 2).

Verified end-to-end against the failure path (`PORT=N npm run dev`
in an empty dir → ENOENT package.json → real failure surfaced) and
the success path (`python3 -m http.server N` → ✓ live at HTTP 200).

Tests: 53 unit cases covering detection, port extraction, probe
edge cases (200/404/500/000), PID liveness, and full integration
against a real Bun.serve() on an ephemeral port.

3. 🔴 Command built from string concatenation with variable — CWE-77

File: src/cli/commands/web.ts:56
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: uni-007-command-injection-concat

Why this matters:
Building shell commands via string concatenation or interpolation with user-controlled variables allows command injection. The attacker can break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary commands.

Code:

54:                   ? "start"
55:                   : "xdg-open";
56:             exec(`${cmd} "${fullUrl}"`);

58:             console.log(`  Open in browser: ${fullUrl}`);
59:           }

Verification: Verification skipped — static-only mode

Fix template: Use parameterized execution: subprocess.run([cmd, arg1, arg2]) instead of shell string. Never pass user input through a shell.


4. 🔴 eval() with potentially untrusted input — CWE-95

File: src/core/audit-engine/exploit-gen.ts:252
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: js-001-eval

Why this matters:
eval() executes arbitrary JavaScript. If input is user-controlled, this is XSS/RCE.

Code:

250:   file: f.file,
251:   line: f.line,
252:   attack_vector: "User-controlled string passed to eval() or exec()",
253:   payload: `__import__('os').system('id > /tmp/pwned')`,
254:   expected_result:

Verification: Verification skipped — static-only mode

Fix template: Remove eval() or use JSON.parse() for data, Function constructor for controlled cases.


5. 🔴 eval() with potentially untrusted input — CWE-95

File: src/core/audit-engine/fixer.ts:523
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: js-001-eval

Why this matters:
eval() executes arbitrary JavaScript. If input is user-controlled, this is XSS/RCE.

Code:

521: 
522: /**
523:  * py-001: Replace eval() with ast.literal_eval().
524:  */
525: function fixPyEval(lines: string[], finding: Finding): OneFixResult {

Fix template: Remove eval() or use JSON.parse() for data, Function constructor for controlled cases.


7. 🔴 Dynamic code generation/compilation from external input — CWE-94

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3818
Severity: CRITICAL
Pattern: uni-009-code-injection

Why this matters:
Dynamically generating and executing code from external input enables arbitrary code injection. Unlike eval() which executes existing strings, code injection patterns involve building new code constructs (Function objects, compiled assemblies, template engines) from attacker-controlled input.

106. 🟡 Retain cycle: strong reference in closure without [weak self] — CWE-401

File: mobile-ios/Services/SSEClient.swift:22
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: swift-008-retain-cycle

Why this matters:
Closures that capture self strongly can create retain cycles, causing memory leaks. If self holds a strong reference to the closure (directly or through a chain), neither will be deallocated.

Code:

20: }
21: 
22: class SSEClient: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate {
23:     weak var delegate: SSEClientDelegate?
24:     private var dataTask: URLSessionDataTask?
25:     private var buffer = Data()

107. 🟡 Missing error handling in async/await — CWE-755

File: mobile-ios/Views/SettingsView.swift:102
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: swift-015-missing-async-error-handling

Why this matters:
Async/await calls to throwing functions without try/catch will propagate errors silently. In non-throwing contexts, this may cause compile errors or unhandled failures.

Code:

100:             }
101:             do {
102:                 let (_, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)

109. 🟡 window.location set from user input (open redirect) — CWE-601

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:836
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-016-open-redirect

Why this matters:
Setting window.location from user-controlled input enables open redirect attacks. An attacker can craft a URL that redirects users to a phishing site.

Code:

110. 🟡 document.write() usage (XSS vector, performance issue) — CWE-79

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:855
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-018-document-write

Why this matters:
document.write() can inject arbitrary HTML/scripts into the page. Called after page load, it replaces the entire document. It's both an XSS vector and a performance anti-pattern.

Code:

853:   {
854:     id: "js-018-document-write",
855:     title: "document.write() usage (XSS vector, performance issue)",

112. 🟡 Session cookie/token without expiration or with excessive lifetime — CWE-613

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3894
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: uni-014-no-session-timeout

Why this matters:
Sessions without expiration (or with >30 day lifetimes) increase the blast radius of a leaked token. Stolen session IDs remain valid indefinitely.

Code:

3892:     severity: "medium",
3893:     languages: ["python", "javascript", "typescript", "java", "php", "ruby"],

113. 🟡 Promise chain without .catch() (unhandled rejection) — CWE-755

File: src/core/config.ts:797
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-015-promise-no-catch

Why this matters:
A Promise .then() chain without .catch() leads to unhandled promise rejections. In Node.js, unhandled rejections crash the process by default.

Code:

795:     }
796:   };
797:   _settingsSaveLock = _settingsSaveLock.then(op, op);
798:   return _settingsSaveLock;

File: src/core/session-branch.ts:117
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-014-json-parse-no-catch

Why this matters:
JSON.parse() throws SyntaxError on invalid JSON. Without try/catch, malformed input crashes the process or rejects the promise unhandled.

Code:

115:       if (existsSync(filePath)) {
116:         const content = readFileSync(filePath, "utf-8");
117:         return JSON.parse(content) as SessionBranch;

117. 🟢 addEventListener without corresponding removeEventListener — CWE-401

File: ide/vscode/src/sidebar.ts:371
Severity: LOW
Pattern: js-012-event-listener-leak

Why this matters:
Adding event listeners without removing them causes memory leaks, especially in SPAs where components mount/unmount. Each re-render adds another listener.

Code:

369:     }
370: 
371:     sendBtn.addEventListener('click', send);

135. 🟢 Loose equality (==) instead of strict equality (===) — CWE-697

File: src/core/push-notifications.ts:48
Severity: LOW

Methodology

This audit was produced by the KCode audit engine: a deterministic pattern library scanned the project for known-dangerous code patterns, then every candidate was verified against the actual execution path. Findings listed here are only those where the execution path was confirmed.

Pattern library version: 1.0 — patterns derived from real bugs found in production C/C++ codebases (network I/O, USB/HID decoders, resource lifecycle, integer arithmetic).

Refuses background server spawns when the system is already in a
state that would make the spawn fail. Catches the two failure modes
from the Artemis bricking session:

  * Port collision: `PORT=15423 npm run dev` while something else is
    already listening on 15423 → spawn would race and EADDRINUSE.
    Uses `ss -tlnp` to find the occupant PID and process name; refusal
    report includes 3 concrete options (reuse, kill, pick another port).

  * inotify saturation: when /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
    is ≥85% used, watch-mode frameworks (next/vite/astro/nodemon/
    live-server/webpack/node-dev) boot straight into EMFILE and crash.
    Refusal report tells the operator how to clean leaked watchers
    AND how to raise the limit via sysctl.

Both checks only fire when the command matches a known server-spawn
pattern (reusing detectServerSpawn from phase 1), so plain Bash calls
like `ls`/`git status`/`npm install` are unaffected. The inotify
snapshot is cached for 30s to keep the cost negligible (one find
+ one /proc read per Bash call, max).

Wired into bash.ts immediately after isBackground is determined,
before the spawn happens. Returns is_error=true so the model has
to actually reason about the failure instead of looping.

53 → 61 tests for the verifier+preflight pair, plus end-to-end
verification with a real Bun.serve() port collision.

… spawns

Closes the operator-mind triad. Phases 1 and 2 made failures visible
and refused doomed spawns; phase 3 catches the case where the model
sees a failure, ignores it, and re-issues the exact same command
on the next turn — the failure mode that bricked the Artemis session.

Behavior
--------
After every Bash invocation the executor records (cwd, normalized
command, was-error, error-tail) in a process-local sliding window
(64 entries, 8-attempt retry window). On the next Bash call:

  - If the new command matches a known server-spawn pattern AND the
    same (cwd, normalized command) was attempted within the retry
    window AND that attempt was an error → the executor returns a
    STOP report and SKIPS execution.

  - The STOP report names the command, the cwd, how many Bash calls
    ago the failure was, the first 8 lines of the previous error,
    and three concrete options the model must take before retrying:
    diagnose / change command / read more state.

  - After the warning fires once, an internal acknowledgment bumps
    the entry forward so the very next attempt runs normally — this
    is an escape hatch in case the model legitimately knows
    something the heuristic doesn't.

Scope is narrowed to commands that match detectServerSpawn() — the
same set used by phases 1 and 2. Sudo prompts, file ops, builds,
tests, and any other one-shot command flow through unaffected. The
sliding window still records them for ordering accounting but never
fires a warning on them. This avoids a real conflict with the bash
sudo-cache tests, which legitimately call executeBash multiple
times with the same sudo command.

Implementation
--------------
- New module `src/core/bash-spawn-history.ts` (180 lines):
  recordBashAttempt, detectImmediateRetry, acknowledgeRetryWarning,
  clearBashHistory (test helper), snapshotBashHistory (test helper),
  internal normalizeCommand (collapses whitespace, treats PORT=N
  and --port N changes as the same intent so the model can't bypass
  by bumping the port).

- `src/tools/bash.ts`: split executeBash into a thin public wrapper
  (does the phase-3 check + records the attempt at the end) and a
  private `_executeBashInner` (the original 760-line body, untouched).

- 14 unit tests covering: scope filtering (one-shot commands ignored),
  same/different cwd, same/different command, whitespace normalization,
  PORT/--port intent equivalence, retry-window expiry, history bounding,
  acknowledge-then-retry, and the structure of the STOP report itself.

End-to-end verification
-----------------------
Spawned `PORT=N npm run dev` in an empty tmpdir. Three sequential
calls: 1st rejected by phase 2 (inotify saturated, real failure),
2nd intercepted by phase 3 (STOP, retry detected), 3rd ran through
phase 2 again after acknowledgment. All three phases compose cleanly.

Why this matters:
Building shell commands via string concatenation or interpolation with user-controlled variables allows command injection. The attacker can break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary commands.

Code:

54:                   ? "start"
55:                   : "xdg-open";
56:             exec(`${cmd} "${fullUrl}"`);

Why this matters:
Comparing authentication credentials with == or === is vulnerable to timing side-channel attacks. An attacker can determine the correct credential one character at a time by measuring response time differences.

Code:

54:         const token = getAuthToken();
55:         // May return proKey from settings or null
56:         expect(token === null || typeof token === "string").toBe(true);

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3734
Severity: HIGH
Pattern: uni-005-weak-auth-compare

Why this matters:
Comparing authentication credentials with == or === is vulnerable to timing side-channel attacks. An attacker can determine the correct credential one character at a time by measuring response time differences.

Code:

3732:     // None, "", '') which are almost always innocuous existence
3733:     // probes, not credential comparisons. Applied symmetrically to
3734:     // BOTH alternatives — the first covers `password === "foo"` and

Assigning dynamic content to innerHTML enables XSS. Attacker-controlled HTML can execute scripts, steal cookies, and hijack sessions.

Code:

595:           const toolDiv = document.createElement('div');
596:           toolDiv.className = 'tool-indicator' + (msg.isError ? ' error' : '');
597:           toolDiv.innerHTML = '<span class="tool-name">' + escapeHtml(msg.name) + '</span>';
598:           if (msg.result) {
599:             const resultText = typeof msg.result === 'string'
600:               ? msg.result.slice(0, 200)

102. 🟡 Retain cycle: strong reference in closure without [weak self] — CWE-401

File: mobile-ios/Models/AppSettings.swift:68
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: swift-008-retain-cycle

Why this matters:
Closures that capture self strongly can create retain cycles, causing memory leaks. If self holds a strong reference to the closure (directly or through a chain), neither will be deallocated.

Code:

105. 🟡 Missing error handling in async/await — CWE-755

File: mobile-ios/Services/ChatSession.swift:129
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: swift-015-missing-async-error-handling

Why this matters:
Async/await calls to throwing functions without try/catch will propagate errors silently. In non-throwing contexts, this may cause compile errors or unhandled failures.

Code:

109. 🟡 window.location set from user input (open redirect) — CWE-601

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:836
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-016-open-redirect

Why this matters:
Setting window.location from user-controlled input enables open redirect attacks. An attacker can craft a URL that redirects users to a phishing site.

Code:

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:855
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-018-document-write

Why this matters:
document.write() can inject arbitrary HTML/scripts into the page. Called after page load, it replaces the entire document. It's both an XSS vector and a performance anti-pattern.

Code:

853:   {
854:     id: "js-018-document-write",
855:     title: "document.write() usage (XSS vector, performance issue)",

112. 🟡 Session cookie/token without expiration or with excessive lifetime — CWE-613

File: src/core/audit-engine/patterns.ts:3894
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: uni-014-no-session-timeout

Why this matters:
Sessions without expiration (or with >30 day lifetimes) increase the blast radius of a leaked token. Stolen session IDs remain valid indefinitely.

Code:

3892:     severity: "medium",

113. 🟡 Promise chain without .catch() (unhandled rejection) — CWE-755

File: src/core/config.ts:797
Severity: MEDIUM
Pattern: js-015-promise-no-catch

Why this matters:
A Promise .then() chain without .catch() leads to unhandled promise rejections. In Node.js, unhandled rejections crash the process by default.

Code:

795:     }
796:   };
797:   _settingsSaveLock = _settingsSaveLock.then(op, op);
798:   return _settingsSaveLock;

117. 🟢 addEventListener without corresponding removeEventListener — CWE-401

File: ide/vscode/src/sidebar.ts:371
Severity: LOW
Pattern: js-012-event-listener-leak

Why this matters:
Adding event listeners without removing them causes memory leaks, especially in SPAs where components mount/unmount. Each re-render adds another listener.

Code:

Methodology

This audit was produced by the KCode audit engine: a deterministic pattern library scanned the project for known-dangerous code patterns, then every candidate was verified against the actual execution path. Findings listed here are only those where the execution path was confirmed.

Pattern library version: 1.0 — patterns derived from real bugs found in production C/C++ codebases (network I/O, USB/HID decoders, resource lifecycle, integer arithmetic).

Self-review of the previous /fix overhaul surfaced six issues. Three
were high-severity correctness bugs that could silently corrupt user
code; three were medium-severity correctness/robustness bugs. All
six are closed here with targeted tests.

HIGH #1 — fixDartJsonNullCheck over-matched

The regex `/\\bas\\s+(int|double|num|bool|String)\\b(?!\\?)/g` had no
context requirement, so it rewrote any primitive cast on any line:

    final count = users.length as int;     // ← was getting rewritten
    final x = someCall() as String;         // ← was getting rewritten

Business-logic casts that had nothing to do with JSON were silently
turned into `as int? ?? 0` / `as String? ?? ''`, changing runtime
behavior (exception → default value). The fix tightens the regex to
require a `json['key']` subscript immediately preceding the `as`:

    /(\\bjson\\s*\\[\\s*['"][^'"]+['"]\\s*\\]\\s*as\\s+(int|...))\\b(?!\\?)/g

Only casts that live inside the exact `json[...] as T` shape are
rewritten now. A regression test (mixed.dart) exercises a file with
both kinds of casts and asserts the non-json ones are untouched.

HIGH #2 — whole-file sweep amplified false positives

The dart-007 fixer sweeps the entire file (needed because the audit
engine dedupes repeated matches of the same pattern+file into a
single Finding, so only the first line is reported). Combined with
HIGH #1, a single false-positive finding could rewrite every cast in
the file. Narrowing the regex in #1 largely addresses this — the
sweep now only touches lines that contain the literal `json['...']`
subscript, so the blast radius is bounded to fromJson factories.

HIGH #3 — writeFileSync was not atomic

    if (modified) {
      writeFileSync(file, lines.join("\\n"));
    }

A crash mid-write (Ctrl-C, OOM, disk full, process kill) left the
user's source file half-corrupted with no recovery. Introduced
`atomicWriteFileSync()`: write to `<target>.kcode-fix-<rand>.tmp`
then `renameSync` over the target. The rename is atomic on POSIX
since the temp file is in the same directory. On rename failure the
temp file is cleaned up and the error propagates.

MEDIUM #4 — setState guard detection short-window

fixDartSetStateAfterDispose only looked at the 3 non-blank lines
immediately before `setState(` for a mounted/disposed guard. A valid
guard placed just after the `await` but separated from the setState
by comments or blank lines was missed, causing a duplicate guard to
be inserted. Replaced the short lookback with a full-span walk from
the await line (finding.line) to the setState call. Regression test
state.dart exercises a 6-line gap and asserts exactly one guard.

MEDIUM #5 — dart-005 assumed `mounted` always exists

The fixer inserted `if (!mounted) return;` without verifying the
enclosing class is a State<T> subclass. In rare cases (helper
classes, mixins, non-Flutter Dart with a local `setState` method)
`mounted` is undefined and the inserted guard fails to compile.
Added `isInsideFlutterState()` which walks backward looking for a
`class X extends ... State<...>` declaration; if not found within
400 lines, the fix is skipped with an explanatory message.
Regression test helper.dart has a non-State class named `NotAState`
and asserts no guard is inserted.

MEDIUM #6 — scanner could escape the project root and loop on
cyclic symlinks

findSourceFiles used readdirSync + statSync, which follows symlinks
silently. A link pointing outside the audited project leaked files
from unrelated directories into the scan; a cyclic link (a→b→a or
link→.) would walk forever until file-descriptor exhaustion.

Scanner now:
  - Resolves the project root to a realpath once at start.
  - Resolves every directory AND file via realpath before visiting.
  - Rejects resolved paths that don't equal or start with
    `<projectRealpath>/` — closes the root-escape hole.
  - Tracks visited directories and files in two Sets keyed by real
    path — closes the cycle-loop hole.

Two regression tests in audit-engine.test.ts create sibling
directories with escaping and cyclic symlinks and assert the scanner
neither leaks outside files nor loops. Both tests degrade
gracefully on platforms where symlink creation requires privileges.

Bump to v2.10.11. Audit-engine suite now has 33 passing tests
(was 28) covering all six holes.

Extend sanitizer warning to include which messages were stripped:
"Stripped 2 empty messages: #3:assistant(array(0)) #5:user(string)"

Helps trace the systematic source of empty messages we're seeing on every
turn. The filter is working (400s gone) but the underlying bug that
produces empty messages per-turn is still unknown.

External review priorities #1 (fixtures) and #5 (metrics) addressed
in this sprint, since they're parallelizable and both touch the same
quality-feedback loop.

Pattern metrics infrastructure:

  types.ts gets a new PatternMetrics shape:
    { hits, confirmed, false_positive, needs_context,
      confirmed_rate?, false_positive_rate? }
  AuditResult.pattern_metrics: Record<pattern_id, PatternMetrics>
    populated at scan time, omits patterns that never matched (vs.
    emitting hits=0) so consumers can distinguish "didn't fire" from
    "fired but everything passed".

  audit-engine.ts iterates verified results, increments per-pattern
  counts, sums multiples (raw-candidate counts pre-dedupe) so the
  hit count reflects total regex matches not deduped-per-file pairs.
  Computes confirmed_rate and false_positive_rate when hits > 0.

  report-generator.ts adds a "## Pattern hit-rate" section showing
  the top 10 by hit count with confirmed_rate as a percentage. Helps
  the auditor identify low-signal patterns (high hits, low confirmed)
  that should be tightened or downgraded in maturity.

Fixture coverage: 39 → 51 (out of 311). Added high-value fixtures
for the v314 vertical packs that previously had zero coverage:
  crypto-001-rand-for-key-material  (positive + negative .py)
  crypto-003-md5-sha1-for-auth
  crypto-007-tls-verify-off
  crypto-009-ecb-mode
  inj-001-sql-string-concat
  inj-002-subprocess-shell-true
  inj-005-path-traversal
  des-001-pickle-loads
  des-002-yaml-full-load
  fsw-001-port-handler-no-check     (positive + negative .cpp)
  fsw-005-buffer-getdata-unchecked
  fsw-010-cmd-arg-before-validate

Each fixture has both a positive (must match the regex) and a
negative (must NOT match) case. The negatives demonstrate the
canonical mitigation: secrets module instead of random, parameterized
queries, allowlisted path containment, FW_ASSERT-guarded buffer use,
length-checked cmd args.

README.md updated from "28 patterns out of 257" to "51 out of 311".
The previous number had drifted across multiple library expansions.

Tests: 6 new (pattern-metrics.test.ts) + 12 new fixture pairs
exercised by the existing harness. Full audit + UI suite 571/571
green (24 new + 547 prior).

Per the roadmap, Milestone 1+2 deliverables are now complete:
  ✓ JSON consistente
  ✓ /review útil
  ✓ /fix honesto
  ✓ /pr estructurado
  ✓ métricas
  ✓ fixtures (initial pass on the v314 verticals)

Next: Milestone 3 — pattern expansion (Phase A high-priority web
verticals: SSRF, JWT verify bypass, Zip Slip, etc.) and deepening
the flight-software differential pack.

…ial pack

External roadmap priority #5: profundizar flight-software porque es
donde KCode tiene moat real. Five new patterns in the fsw pack,
focused on parser / dispatcher / log-injection bug shapes that
commercial SAST tools have no domain knowledge of.

flight-software pack: 15 → 20 patterns. Library: 323 → 328. Fixture
coverage: 63 → 68.

New patterns:

  fsw-016-frame-length-as-offset
    `header.get_lengthField()` (just deserialized from the wire) used
    as `moveDeserToOffset` argument without an upper bound. A
    malformed frame with `length=0xFFFFFFFF` walks the deserializer
    past the buffer. Same shape as the FprimeDeframer.cpp bug we
    flagged in earlier scans.

  fsw-017-component-array-id-no-check
    Component arrays (m_channels, m_packets, m_ports, m_filteredIDs,
    m_handlers, m_callbacks) indexed by an externally-supplied ID
    without a bound check. Telemetry / dispatcher OOB on malformed
    packets. Verifier checklist accepts intra-process port-input
    (sibling component) as a trusted boundary.

  fsw-018-cmdhandler-stub-only-response
    Ground-command handler whose entire body is a single
    `cmdResponse_out(opCode, cmdSeq, OK)`. Almost always a stub the
    developer forgot to fill in — operators trust a silent-noop
    command on the production deployment.

  fsw-019-logger-format-from-arg
    `Fw::Logger::log(fmt, ...)` where fmt is a function parameter,
    not a literal. Format-string injection: %n writes memory, %x
    leaks stack. Also covers `CFE_EVS_SendEvent` for cFS/cFE
    deployments.

  fsw-020-fwtime-getseconds-no-tb-check
    `t1.getSeconds() - t2.getSeconds()` arithmetic without first
    checking matching TimeBase. Subtle bug — works in unit tests
    where both Times share TB_PROC_TIME, breaks in flight when the
    spacecraft transitions between TB_NONE / TB_PROC_TIME / mission
    UTC mid-mission.

Bugs found and fixed during fixture validation:

  fsw-018 regex required `\w+::` (out-of-class definition); my fixture
  used in-class definition without the `Class::` prefix. Tightened
  regex to `(?:\w+::)?` so both forms match.

  fsw-020 had a forward-only negative-lookahead `(?![...].getTimeBase)`
  that misclassified the negative fixture (which has the check
  BEFORE the subtraction). Dropped the lookahead and let the
  verifier's mitigation checklist handle the upstream-check case.
  Updated negative fixture to use Fw::Time::sub() — the framework
  helper that doesn't trigger the regex shape and is the idiomatic
  fix.

All 5 new patterns have recipes in fixer.ts (annotation tier, since
flight-software guards need human judgment, not mechanical rewrites).

Tests: full suite 709/709 green (10 new fixture assertions + 699 prior).

Patterns now: 328. Fixtures: 68/328 (~20.7%, was 19.5% at v333).

Phase B complete. Next: Phase A round 3 (Rust unwrap-in-hot-path,
C# BinaryFormatter variants, Swift insecure storage), or jumping
to Phase 2 of the roadmap (CVE feed integration / diff-based audit /
AST-based matching).
