# v1.2.0-alpha.1

Experimental pre-push security safety net for AI-accelerated development. Python package
version: `1.2.0a1`. This alpha is **not a rollout GO**; no real hook capability is enabled.

- Analyze immutable pushed commits across refs without changing the working tree or
  replacing existing hooks. Share one deadline across preparation, analysis and reporting.
- Keep the existing ranker responsible for scope and physically exclude vendor code from
  graph inputs. Reuse only compatible, complete immutable graph and answer artifacts.
- Gate advisory and blocking alerts on the same actionable change/witness/repair evidence.
  Preserve explicit incomplete coverage; optional model assistance cannot create evidence.
- Add frozen runtime and PHP/Node/Python evaluation records with honest populations,
  missing-target accounting and versioned eligibility that rejects stale evidence.
- Repair the pinned JavaScript frontend's Gruntfile omission and incomplete-census handling.
  The real NodeGoat input now retains 44/44 files; native PHP/JavaScript smoke passes.

Implementation verification: 1321 tests passed, nine skipped; detector/map/local-pair
gates and packaged partition smoke passed. These checks verify implementation contracts,
not useful hook precision, recall or latency.

Rollout remains blocked by representative changed-code latency/completion, VAmPI
query/context/transitive evidence and independent reviewed per-capability populations.
The earlier eligibility artifact is stale under the repaired identities and enables
nothing. See [current spec status](https://github.com/norandom/OpenUltraSAST/blob/v1.2.0-alpha.1/.kiro/specs/pre-push-safety-net/status.md) for the
owners, unchanged thresholds and required revalidation. Pre-push implementation stands
at 26/27 tasks; task 8.3 remains blocked. C arithmetic/bounds detection is unsupported.
