CRITICAL: FPM build operations disabled breaking core development workflow

[krystophny]

CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT FAILURE: FPM build operations have been disabled, completely breaking the core development workflow.

Evidence of Build System Destruction

Message from Test Suite

Operating in secure mode - FPM build operations disabled
FPM example build test skipped for security

Impact Assessment

• Build System: DISABLED
• Example Generation: PARTIALLY DISABLED
• Development Workflow: BROKEN
• CI/CD Pipeline: POTENTIALLY IMPACTED

Functionality Verification

What Still Works:

• fpm test - Test execution (with caveats)
• make example - Example generation (basic level)

What's Broken:

• FPM build operations in secure mode
• Build testing and validation
• Full development workflow

Root Cause Analysis

1. Security implementation disabled FPM build operations
2. No alternative build workflow provided
3. No documentation of limitations implemented
4. No testing of development workflow impact

Development Workflow Impact

SEVERITY: HIGH
Developer Experience: Severely degraded
CI/CD Impact: Unknown but likely significant
Documentation: No guidance provided

Security vs Functionality Trade-off

The security implementation has prioritized security over basic functionality:

• Security Gain: Unclear (FPM builds are not inherently insecure)
• Functionality Loss: Major development workflow disruption
• Alternative Solutions: None provided

Required Actions

1. URGENT: Assess if FPM build disabling is necessary for security
2. URGENT: Implement secure FPM build workflow if needed
3. IMMEDIATE: Document all disabled functionality and alternatives
4. IMMEDIATE: Provide development workflow guidance
5. CRITICAL: Test all development workflows before deploying restrictions

Questions for Security Team

1. Why are FPM build operations considered insecure?
2. What specific security threat does this address?
3. What are the approved alternatives for development?
4. How should developers work around these restrictions?

This represents a significant development experience degradation without clear security justification.
