Inline comments:
In `@Makefile`:
- Line 72: Add explicit Make target dependencies for the protocol artifact flow:
ensure test-verdicts and test-record depend on test-corpus, and test-offline
depends on test-record, while preserving test-protocol as the aggregate target.
In `@scripts/cassette.py`:
- Line 399: Update the perturb flow around replay(case) to compare base with
case["baseline"]; when they differ, record a cassette failure and skip all fault
scenarios for that cassette before checking perturbation results.
In `@scripts/mutation_check.py`:
- Around line 710-716: Update main to validate the --cassettes path exists and
is readable before entering the mutation loop, failing the harness with a
nonzero result when invalid. In run, distinguish pytest’s expected exit codes 0
and 1 from other nonzero codes; treat codes outside that set as harness errors
rather than caught mutants, while preserving the existing caught result for code
1.
- Around line 690-707: Update apply_mutation so every edit in edits must match
and be applied exactly once across resolver.py and dnssec.py before writing
changes or returning. Track unmatched edits individually, preserve edits that
target different files, and raise the existing “mutation no longer applies”
error if any edit remains unmatched; avoid returning after processing only the
first changed file.
In `@scripts/verdict_harness.py`:
- Line 273: Validate the parsed values for --runs and --references before the
harness starts: require --runs to be positive and reject an empty --references
value with clear argparse errors. Update the argument definitions near runs and
references so invalid input cannot reach resolve_n, outcomes[0], or
ThreadPoolExecutor, while preserving the existing behavior for valid values.
In `@SECURITY.md`:
- Line 21: The DNS-driven SSRF documentation should narrow the CVE-2024-4032
attribution: state that only some classifications changed, while the remaining
transition-prefix and special-range entries are explicit policy blocks retained
for consistent behavior across supported Python versions. Update the sentence in
the DNS-driven SSRF table entry without changing the surrounding nameserver
validation requirements.
In `@src/recursive_resolver/cli.py`:
- Around line 32-34: Update _json_dnssec to return None when answer is None
before evaluating args.no_dnssec, while preserving "disabled" for answered
traces using --no-dnssec and the existing DNSSEC value otherwise. Add a
regression test covering a failed trace with --no-dnssec and asserting the JSON
dnssec field remains null.
In `@TESTING.md`:
- Around line 292-293: Update the testing report text around the anomalous-name
re-resolution description to use the same escalation count as the command and
resolution totals: eight. Keep the report’s reproducibility wording and all
unrelated testing details unchanged.
- Around line 464-468: Clarify the mutation-testing statement around the
stale-bytecode case: state whether the harness now invalidates Python bytecode,
and report a post-fix run showing the affected mutant executes and is caught by
the tests. Replace the conflicting claim that every mutant is caught while one
never ran, preserving the distinction between execution and detection.
- Around line 160-162: Update the DNSSEC transition rules in TESTING.md and the
corresponding validation in scripts/cassette.py so a baseline verdict may
transition to unavailable when DNSSEC material is unavailable; continue
rejecting weaker or otherwise unexpected outcomes and retain the existing
sibling-reproduction behavior.
- Line 121: Update the SECURE validation rule in TESTING.md to require quorum
agreement among validators and reject any conflicting INSECURE or BOGUS result,
rather than accepting a single SECURE result. Add a fixture covering mixed
validator outcomes where SECURE is present but agreement is insufficient.

Define the allowed unavailable transition.
These lines say an availability fault must never change the verdict, then allow DNSSECMaterialUnavailableError. scripts/cassette.py Lines 104-117 maps that exception to unavailable, while Line 267 requires zero changed verdicts. Define baseline-to-unavailable as an allowed transition and reject only weaker or unexpected outcomes.

edits by their unique list index rather than (old, new) tuple equality. Mark
only the specific applied index as consumed, ensuring duplicate edits are each
attempted exactly once and any unapplied duplicate is reported as stale.
- Around line 757-763: Resolve the cassette path once in the mutation-check flow
after validating it, then pass str(cassettes) to the child process launched by
run instead of the original relative args.cassettes value. Ensure the resolved
path is used by the cassette.py invocation so it remains valid when run executes
with cwd=REPO.
In `@scripts/verdict_harness.py`:
- Line 308: Update the argparse definition for --workers in the verdict harness
to use the existing positive_int validator, ensuring zero and negative values
are rejected during argument parsing before ThreadPoolExecutor is created.

outcome so it is accepted only when INSECURE holds the required two-thirds
majority; treat a BOGUS reference majority as disagreement instead. Add a
