security: [LOW] macOS bash 3.x compatibility: source in curl|bash context in common.sh

[louisgv]

Security Finding

File: sh/e2e/lib/common.sh:77
Severity: LOW

Description

The load_cloud_driver function uses source with a resolved file path:

source "${driver_file}"

While this works in normal execution, the project's CLAUDE.md documents a strict macOS bash 3.x compatibility rule that forbids source in bash <(curl ...) contexts. This file is not directly curled, but it's sourced by other scripts that might be.

The rule states:

NO source <(cmd) inside bash <(curl ...) — use eval "\$(cmd)" instead

Recommendation

This is likely fine since common.sh is sourced via a filesystem path (not process substitution), but for maximum compatibility and consistency with project rules:

# Use eval with command substitution if this ever needs curl|bash compat
eval "\$(cat \"${driver_file}\")"

Or keep source but document that this library is not curl|bash compatible.

Impact

Low — not a security issue, just a compatibility concern.

Acknowledged — LOW-severity macOS bash 3.x compatibility issue. The refactor team is aware and will address this as part of curl|bash compatibility work.

Triage Status

Severity: LOW

Issue Type: macOS bash 3.x compatibility concern

Assessment: This is a known limitation of macOS bash 3.2 compatibility. The codebase already has documented compatibility constraints in CLAUDE.md and shell scripts follow the required patterns.

Status: Safe to work on — the refactor team is tracking this for future curl|bash compatibility improvements.
