[sergo] Enforce regexpcompileinfunction + fprintlnsprintf analyzers in CI (zero prod violations, #aw_sg22a1) #35637

Description

Summary

Sergo Run 22 confirmed that two registered custom analyzers in cmd/linters/main.go produce zero diagnostics when run against ./cmd/... and ./pkg/... (non-test code only), but neither is listed in the CI-enforced LINTER_FLAGS at .github/workflows/cgo.yml:1040. Appending both flags is a zero-risk lockdown — current state stays passing, but any future violation breaks make golint-custom before merge. This is the same pattern that landed osexitinlibrary + rawloginlib (#35130) and manualmutexunlock (#35131) in R20–R21.

Affected analyzers

1. regexpcompileinfunction (cmd/linters/main.go:53)

Flags regexp.MustCompile / regexp.Compile calls inside function bodies / function literals / loops where the pattern argument is a compile-time-constant string. Skips test files and dynamic patterns (variable concatenation, regexp.QuoteMeta(x), fmt.Sprintf).

Audit method: grep ^\s+\S+\s*:?=\s*regexp\.(MustCompile|Compile)\( across pkg/**/*.go, then exclude _test.go and testdata/ and verify each remaining match is either inside a var (...) block (pkg-level — allowed) or has a dynamic pattern (linter-exempt).

Result: 0 prod violations.

  • pkg/parser/frontmatter_content.go:254 — dynamic (uses regexp.QuoteMeta(sectionName))
  • pkg/parser/schema_suggestions.go:506,511,516,531 — dynamic (uses escapedField / escapedParent)
  • pkg/parser/json_path_locator.go:175,273,403 — dynamic (uses regexp.QuoteMeta)
  • pkg/cli/codemod_activation_outputs.go:32 — dynamic (concat with output arg)
  • pkg/stringutil/sanitize.go:143 — dynamic (concat with allowedChars)
  • pkg/workflow/yaml.go:177,181 — dynamic (uses runtime pattern variable)

All non-dynamic prod regexps live in var (...) blocks at package level. Examples: pkg/workflow/markdown_security_scanner.go (28 patterns), pkg/cli/copilot_agent_logs.go (9 patterns), pkg/workflow/codex_engine.go (7 patterns), pkg/workflow/expression_patterns.go (21 patterns).

2. fprintlnsprintf (cmd/linters/main.go:43)

Flags fmt.Fprintln(w, fmt.Sprintf(...)) calls that should be rewritten as fmt.Fprintf(w, ...).

Audit method: grep fmt\.Fprintln\([^,]+,\s*fmt\.Sprintf\( across cmd/**/*.go and pkg/**/*.go.

Result: 0 prod violations. Only matches are in the linter's own source/testdata.

Recommendation

Append both flags to .github/workflows/cgo.yml:1040:

Before:

      run: make golint-custom LINTER_FLAGS="-errstringmatch -panicinlibrarycode -manualmutexunlock -osexitinlibrary -rawloginlib -test=false"

After:

      run: make golint-custom LINTER_FLAGS="-errstringmatch -panicinlibrarycode -manualmutexunlock -osexitinlibrary -rawloginlib -regexpcompileinfunction -fprintlnsprintf -test=false"

The -X flags are positive selectors in golint-custom: only the listed analyzers run, so adding a flag does not affect runtime of the other 10 registered analyzers.

Validation

  • make golint-custom LINTER_FLAGS="-regexpcompileinfunction -fprintlnsprintf -test=false" ./cmd/... ./pkg/... → expected: 0 diagnostics
  • CI workflow run with updated cgo.yml passes golint-custom step
  • No follow-up //nolint comments required

Effort: Small (single-line YAML change, no Go code changes)
