  • Created Pre Slither Validator py file
  • Added and initiated contract syntax validation

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Adds a pre-analysis validator that checks and can auto-fix Solidity contracts before security scanning.
    • Automatically creates a backup of the original file when fixes are applied.
    • Returns a clear outcome with fixed content or error details and a summary of applied fixes.
    • Enhances compatibility by standardizing SPDX headers, abstract/virtual declarations, deprecated value() usage, call return handling, and pragma versions.

Walkthrough

Adds a new PreSlitherValidator module that reads a Solidity file, runs a pipeline of fixers (SPDX, abstract/virtual adjustments, .value() syntax, call return handling, pragma alignment), optionally backs up and overwrites the file when modifications occur, and returns (success, content_or_error, fixes).

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Pre-Slither validation module
Static_agent/Slither_agent/pre_slither_validator.py
New module introducing PreSlitherValidator with __init__, validate_and_fix_contract, and _apply_all_fixes. Reads UTF-8 content, orchestrates fix pipeline (SPDX header, abstract contracts, virtual functions, deprecated .value() syntax, call return handling, pragma version alignment), creates <path>.pre_slither_backup before writing changes, and returns (bool, str, List[str]) with error handling.

Poem

A nibble of code, a twitch of ear,
I back up bytes so none disappear.
I tidy pragmas, make functions behave,
Patch .value() and calls with brave wave.
Before Slither sniffs, I hop in quick—pre-fix, my favorite trick. 🐇✨

🧹 Nitpick comments (9)
Static_agent/Slither_agent/pre_slither_validator.py (9)

11-16: Prune unused imports.

os, subprocess, and Dict are unused. Keep datetime (used after backup change below).

-import os
-import re
-import shutil
-import subprocess
-from datetime import datetime
-from typing import Tuple, List, Dict
+import re
+import shutil
+from datetime import datetime
+from typing import Tuple, List

1-1: Shebang without execute bit.

Either make the file executable or drop the shebang since this is a module.

-#!/usr/bin/env python3

60-63: Anchor SPDX check to file start and accept block comments.

Current regex matches anywhere and only the // form. Solidity accepts // or /* */, and the identifier should be at the file start.

-        if not re.search(r'//\s*SPDX-License-Identifier:', content):
+        if not re.match(r'^\s*(?://|/\*)\s*SPDX-License-Identifier:', content):
             content = '// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT\n' + content
             fixes.append("Added SPDX license identifier")

41-49: Avoid overwriting backups across runs; add a timestamp suffix.

Current backup path is constant and will be overwritten on repeated validations.

-            if content != original_content:
-                backup_path = f"{file_path}.pre_slither_backup"
+            if content != original_content:
+                ts = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ")
+                backup_path = f"{file_path}.pre_slither_backup.{ts}"
                 shutil.copy2(file_path, backup_path)

52-53: Avoid blind except Exception; narrow to expected errors and improve message.

Catching all exceptions hides programmer errors in fixers.

-        except Exception as e:
-            return False, str(e), fixes
+        except (OSError, UnicodeError, ValueError) as e:
+            return False, f"{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}", fixes

50-53: Optional: move success return to a try/else for clarity (ruff TRY300).

Not functional, just style.

-            return True, content, fixes
-
-        except (OSError, UnicodeError, ValueError) as e:
-            return False, f"{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}", fixes
+        except (OSError, UnicodeError, ValueError) as e:
+            return False, f"{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}", fixes
+        else:
+            return True, content, fixes

55-55: Silence ARG002 by marking unused parameter.

file_path is not used inside _apply_all_fixes. Keep the arg for future use but mark it unused.

-    def _apply_all_fixes(self, content: str, file_path: str) -> Tuple[str, List[str]]:
+    def _apply_all_fixes(self, content: str, _file_path: str) -> Tuple[str, List[str]]:

18-21: self.fixes_applied is never used; either remove it or aggregate per-run fixes.

If you want cumulative visibility across files, extend it.

     def __init__(self):
-        self.fixes_applied = []
+        self.fixes_applied = []
@@
-            content, file_fixes = self._apply_all_fixes(content, file_path)
-            fixes.extend(file_fixes)
+            content, file_fixes = self._apply_all_fixes(content, file_path)
+            fixes.extend(file_fixes)
+            self.fixes_applied.extend(file_fixes)

Also applies to: 36-39


31-33: Optional: handle UTF‑8 BOM on read.

Some Solidity files include a BOM; using utf-8-sig avoids injecting the SPDX line ahead of stray \ufeff.

-            with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
+            with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8-sig') as f:
                 content = f.read()
