Implemented with Codex; review fix: the bounded client keeps the configured
thinking setting so a fill answers as the run would.

ChangeContext records the paths Git reports as added. An entailed,
undischarged operation in an added file, with complete head evidence and no
identical operation in any base answer, is classified new
(file_added_in_head) instead of base_incomplete; admission accepts that reason
as change evidence. Unpaired add/delete pushes and every other unknown
comparison keep their vetoes. An engine finding whose novelty is established
and whose only vetoes are capability vetoes is shown as an advisory engine
finding, not an alert. Requirement 9.4.

The plane's memory store no longer names one vendor. `MinioStore`/`SdkClient`/
`minio_settings`/`MINIO_KEYS` become `S3Store`/`S3Client`/`s3_settings`/`S3_KEYS`;
the URL scheme is `s3://<bucket>[/<prefix>]` (`s3://` alone uses `S3_BUCKET`); the
settings are `S3_ENDPOINT` (a full URL), `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`,
optional `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` and `S3_REGION`. The client is boto3 (extra `s3`,
imported lazily): SigV4, path-style addressing, SDK checksum trailers off, paginated
listing, versions and delete markers listed and deleted by version (`purge`, used by
the contract tests' teardown so the bucket keeps nothing of a run).
Behaviour is unchanged: the store never configures its bucket and verifies
versioning, the `runs/` expiry rule, S3 Select and tag reads at startup; no local
fallback; every row carries every queryable field with "" placeholders. The admin
hints read `--endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT"`. The fake client still reproduces RustFS's
two Select failures (unbound leading-row field, null-typed column).
Docs: rustfs.md stays the tested server's setup page (policy JSON unchanged, env
names updated, any S3-compatible store with versioning, lifecycle, tags and Select
works); memory.md, ops/ax/README.md, README.md, steering and the two current spec
designs use the S3 naming. Retired specs and committed measurements are untouched.
Real server (RustFS, OUSAST_MEMORY_TEST_S3=1): test_plane_memory + test_learn_compile
75 passed, 1 skipped. Store copy of the live local store to a temporary prefix: every
count matched (776 row objects, 2982 rows, 22 facts, 788 excerpts, 2601 responses,
2 programs, 1793 index entries), 4190 versions purged afterwards.

Comment-only changes outside learn/, plane/ and cli.py:
- model/pipeline.py: the `judge` its docstring contrasts with is the deleted
model/judge.py, now named as such.
- fusion.py: the panels are deterministic and only review and vote; the
"critique and revise" step belonged to the retired LLM panels.
- mcp.py: hunter tools stay inside the scan's stages, not "harness stages".
- fusion, mcp, gate, redaction, skills: their "Phase N" tags now say which
plan they cite (the retired openrouter-sast-harness).
Requirement citations to retired specs stay: they explain where the code
came from. No behaviour change; the byte-identical benchmark golden passes.

The reachability-first audit (previous commit) found these five with no
import path from any entry point:
- model/judge.py: replaced by model/pipeline.py, which never imported it.
- model/execution.py: the MGD Req 10 execution seam, never built or called.
- model/calibrate.py: no CLI, no importer; learn/calibrate.py is the live one.
- stage_processors.py + slot_contract.py: kept only so test_gate could pin
them; the scan runs findings.quick_scan_findings directly.
Their tests go with them, test_gate's zero-dependency list drops the two
entries, the audit lists drop their rows, and the manifest is regenerated:
150 modules, 145 load_bearing, 5 standalone, 0 orphaned.

model/audit.py classified anything named in SPEC_OWNED or STANDALONE before
looking at the import graph, so five modules nothing imports were reported
load_bearing and the committed manifest said 0 orphans.
- Reachability from the gates, the CLI and every module with a __main__ block
(python -m, the plane runner) now decides the class; the lists only supply
reason text, and an unreachable listed module is orphaned with its listing.
- `from .pkg import sub` now records the submodule edge (plane.engine_alerts
was only reachable by its SPEC_OWNED entry).
- `python -m openultrasast.model.audit` regenerates the manifest.
- Manifest regenerated: 145 load_bearing, 5 standalone, 5 orphaned
(model.calibrate, model.execution, model.judge, slot_contract,
stage_processors). The zero-orphan test is strict-xfail until they go.

learn/program.py: the declared signature (code, signals, roles, family in;
verdict, family, confidence, rationale with cited lines out), the
baseline instruction, rendering as [system: instruction + demonstrations]
-- byte-identical for every candidate, so the provider's prefix cache can
hit -- then [user: retrieved examples with their labels, the candidate
without one]. Signals pass validate_x first (no EXCLUDED_FIELDS, missing
instruments in words). Answers are one JSON object; one that does not
parse or cites no line inside the excerpt is asked once more at
temperature 0 and otherwise becomes unsure/parse_failed, never
not_vulnerable. Classify(k): sample 1 at 0.0, the rest at 0.7; score s =
mean p_j; majority verdict, ties unsure; a majority unsure cannot BLOCK.
Caller caches each response as responses/<sha>.json keyed by (model,
Model parameters digest, messages, temperature, sample, json_object) and
replays at $0; spend is priced from the recorded usage once per distinct
request, so a replay reports the same usd. Program.decide asserts the
evaluation boundary on the rendered ids before any call.
MeteredClient.complete passes temperature/logprobs through (only when
set); DeepSeekChatClient sends temperature beside thinking=disabled.

learn/retrieve.py: stage 1 is a per-instrument Gower distance over the
profile's allow-listed features with explicit missing (both ran: mean
feature distance; differing states 1; same non-ran state 0; null in one 1;
priors dropped with priors=off), n1 = 40 with seeded tie-breaks; stage 2
re-ranks by r = lam(1 - D) + (1 - lam)cos, signals_only without the
target's vector; the balance rule takes k_ret = 6 (<= k/2 per label, <= 2
per group, <= 2 other families; `short` recorded). eligible() is the only
way into a prompt: not the target's group, not an evaluated group, not the
held-out source or framework, and outside deployment not a near-duplicate
(cos >= 0.98). assert_boundary repeats the check on rendered ids;
demonstrations of a held-out framework swap to their alternates;
deployment_fold excludes a scanned repository that is a corpus group;
seed_memory never hands a case its own group.
learn/folds.py: compile split (25% of groups per primary family, 60/40
boot/val), outer grouped 5-fold stratified by family and label mix,
leave-one-source-out, leave-one-framework-out (insufficient data below 10
groups), assert_disjoint and a folds digest; all seeded.
Tests: test_learn_retrieve.py (hand-computed Gower, lam 0/0.5, balance,
near-duplicates, test_boundary over outer/LOSO/LOFO folds with
demonstrations), test_learn_folds.py.

Wrapper inference (learn/roles.py, no model): a function whose parameter reaches a
call already in the role set becomes a derived sink (or a sanitizer when it returns
the cleaned value) of the same operation, at depth + 1; a function returning a
source's value becomes a derived source. The role set starts from language-level
entries only (priors off by default, optional), grows to depth 3, and reads
vendored dependency source when present, so a vendored database class reaching
mysqli makes `->query` a sink without a framework table. A name the repository
declares more than once becomes a role only when every definition derives it.
Model roles (plane/tasks/roles.py): the model_sinks.py classification moved into
the package and extended to sink/source/sanitizer/guard/dispatch, per file chunk,
metered and resumable, client injected; a failed chunk is unclassified, never
"no roles". vocabulary_overlay merges inferred and model roles over the
language-level facts in the shape taint_specs takes, origin in the entry id.
Features: the roles (static) and model_sinks (plane) instruments are filled.
On the recorded validation-46 facts (15 cases, 14,368 product files, 87 MB read):
1,999 wrapper roles (1,753 sinks, 157 sources, 89 sanitizers; depth 1/2/3 =
973/651/375), 14 of 15 cases with at least one; the WordPress gopay plugin has
none with priors off, which is what model roles are for.

learn/schema.py is the closed, typed allow-list of candidate features: 66 features over
11 instruments (language one-hot, quick rules with 23 mechanism buckets and a prior count,
engine, repo-facts, source span, entry-point distance, roles, delta, verify, agree, model
sinks), two profiles (static 57; plane adds verify, agree and model sinks for 66), schema_version and a feature-set digest.
No repository, path, file, function, rule or commit identity is a feature; site_match,
in_fix_range, fixed-pin alerts, case.json fields and costs are refused. Missing is not zero:
each record carries per-instrument state (ran | none | failed | not_applicable), and every
feature of an instrument that did not run is null.
learn/features.py builds records on the host (build_for_scan, whole repository or base..head
delta); plane/tasks/features.py builds them per case in a Run from the delivered artifacts,
dropping site_match and in_fix_range on read and ignoring fixed-pin alerts. The generator
adds a model-free `features` entry per case before `remember`, which stores the records as
`features` rows (re-validated). memory KINDS gains features, label, decision, experiment,
arm_outcome and experiment_result. The committed validation-46 manifests are regenerated
(entries appended; the first Run's entries are unchanged). The runner image must be rebuilt
and re-pinned before a Run executes the new task.
Proof on real artifacts (scratch store, not committed): the recorded validation-46 run gives
75 feature records over 15 cases (43 verify candidates plus vulnerable-pin alerts), each
case's vulnerable pin exported and read (0.5k-9k files); remember stored 75 features rows
beside 43 verdict, 84 alert, 61 unit_cost, 15 facts and 8 coverage rows.

Quick mode has rules only for c/cpp, groovy, java, javascript/typescript and
python, so every PHP case's "0 alerts" read as clean. The `alerts` task now
records per language of the files read whether quick mode covers it
(derived from the bundled ruleset, not a list): coverage quick | none, with
file counts per pin, and `uncovered`. `remember` turns that into `coverage`
memory rows (a new kind; the Run passes the alerts summary.json as input),
loop-measure reports coverage per language, and improve/memory.py's M1/M2
skip a repository+pin whose coverage for the rule's language is only
`none` (counted under `coverage_none` in the proposal's excluded).
`ousast plane alerts-engine <Run.yaml> --source <frozen export>`
(plane/engine_alerts.py) does the alerts task on the host for cases whose
files include a language the engine covers but quick mode does not (PHP):
exports both pins from the case cache, runs the quick scan and the
openultrasast:dev engine container (finding_dump.py, --network none,
--memory 3g, one at a time, per-pin deadline), writes engine findings in
the alerts.jsonl row shape (rule_id engine:<family>, source engine,
in_fix_range from case.json) with a summary (files read, questions,
completed, seconds, degradations per pin), and marks the task done via
reconciler.mark_done. No result, no files read, or questions == 0 fails
loudly and leaves the run untouched. Refuses a git checkout as source.
Runner image rebuilt and re-pinned (sha256:ebb40a9a...); validation-46
regenerated (digest only). Live, recorded in
benchmarks/measurements/2026-09-30-php-engine-alerts/: froxlor 366 files,
130/130 questions per pin, 6 alerts per pin, 0 in the fix range; wp-gopay
19 files, 101/101 questions, 0 alerts. The loop: 32 run rows (coverage 8,

Deletes harness_ext.py and hunter_harness.py with their HarnessX-only
tests (the judge path, verify_judge.py, went in task 5). The harnessx
extra, its mypy override and its uv.lock entries are removed (uv lock
drops only packages; no remaining version changes). The conftest
fixture becomes assert_cold_import; test_gate's two never-import checks
become one allow-list (stdlib, openultrasast, yaml) over the governance
planes' module-level imports, and the skipped live-extra tolerance test
is deleted. Audit rows for the two modules are removed, stage_processors
is reworded, and the module-audit manifest is regenerated (no orphan).
test_removed_plane_references implements Req 2.4 over src, tests and
pyproject.toml: a match must carry a `retired 2026-..` tag (the spec's
own slug is not counted). The README part is a strict xfail until task 8

`ousast plane workspaces --validation-set ... --loop` appends the loop to a Run:
per case `alerts` (plane/tasks/alerts.py: the quick-mode scan on the vulnerable
and the fixed pin, a fixed-pin Workspace per case, alerts attributed to their
enclosing function by the repo-facts patterns, `in_fix_range` from the fix's
old-side and new-side ranges, failing on an unread tree) feeding `remember`,
then `memory-snapshot` -> `loop-measure` -> `loop-propose` -> `loop-improve`
(plane/tasks/loop.py). Every new task binds no Model and has budget
{usd: 0, calls: 0}. The snapshot is the store's rows after the train-on-test
guard, written on the host by memory.seed (a sandboxed run of it fails loudly);
propose runs M1/M2 against this repository at the commit under test; improve
runs one unchanged evolve.run_round and delivers gate.json, journal.json, the
sidecar, rule_policy.json only when accepted, and proposal_outcome rows that
the host ingests. Adoption stays a maintainer commit.
`remember` is now a Run entry per case (the image contains it), with the facts
row keyed by the image the facts were computed on (repo-facts records it in
its summary; unknown -> the row is omitted, never guessed). Alert rows carry
their own pin; improve/memory.py counts a repeated alert once.
Runner image rebuilt (+0.39 MB: only the new modules; the quick scan needs no
extra and the rulesets were already in the package), pushed, plane/ re-pinned
and regenerated (validation-46: 105 entries). Fixture test runs the whole loop
graph through the fake ax, whose new `exec` mode runs the real task modules.
Live: one loop Run over three validation-46 cases on the local ax, recorded in
benchmarks/measurements/2026-09-30-harnessx-removal-loop/ (all done, $0 new

(object metadata and tags, S3 Select pushdown probed once per process with a

MINIO_* settings come from .env; the minio SDK is the optional extra `minio`.

per-case Tasks and one Run validation-46: facts -> verify a, verify b ->
agree for the 15 cases, 46 candidates (43 kept), budgets 1.5x the recorded

ai-service-plane task 3, Requirements 4.1-4.4 (with 2.2 and 2.3 honoured by the
exit-code contract):
- src/openultrasast/plane/runner.py: the ax-task-runner entrypoint. Reads the Task
from AX_TASK_YAML and the bound Workspaces from AX_WORKSPACES_YAML (task-1 loaders),
serves /healthz and /readyz on port 80 (AX_RUNNER_PORT; 0 picks a free port,
AX_RUNNER_HTTP=0 disables it for unit tests), materialises each workspace at its
bound path (spec.files verbatim; spec.git at <path>/<name>, exported from the
OUSAST_CASE_CACHE checkout whose origin matches, else a shallow clone at the pin;
a repo already present on a resumed volume is kept) and only then answers 200 on
/readyz. Runs spec.command by importing openultrasast.plane.tasks.<name> with the
remaining elements as argv; sets OUSAST_WORKSPACE_DIR from the first binding when
the Task's env leaves it unset. A crash writes summary.json with status failed and
the traceback. When OUSAST_ARTIFACT_URL is set, the whole OUSAST_OUTPUT_DIR is
POSTed as an uncompressed tar (Content-Type application/x-tar, X-Ousast-Task,
X-Ousast-Run) with three attempts and backoff; a failed delivery rewrites
summary.json to failed and exits 2. Exit codes: done 0, failed 2, unfinished 3.
- plane/Dockerfile.runner: python:3.12-slim + git, `pip install .` (no extras), a
shell wrapper at /usr/local/bin/ax-task-runner exec'ing the module; built and
loaded into kind by ops/ax/up.sh, not by the tests.
- tests/test_plane_runner.py (+ tests/plane_stub_task.py registered as the task
module): env contract on a files workspace, readyz 503 then 200, delivery to a
local receiver with the headers and tar checked, delivery failure -> failed and
exit 2 after three attempts, crash -> failed with traceback, exit codes per
status, case-cache export at the pin, shallow-clone fallback, resume keeps the
checkout.

regenerated (122 modules, no orphans, note kept).

Requirements 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 2.2, 7.1, 7.3 of ai-service-plane.
- plane/reconciler.py (492 lines, test-counted): a Run's tasks submitted to ax
in dependency order through the injectable `ax` CLI (apply / get task /
delete task), serialize labels never overlapping, --workers, state.json with
pending|running|suspended|done|failed|unfinished, a PID lock per run, done
tasks skipped on rerun, unfinished tasks holding their dependants, a failed
task halting the run. Budgets, inputs, output dir, artifact URL and the bound
Model (annotation openultrasast.io/model; identity and priced parameters) go
to the task as env in the rendered Task; consumed artifacts travel as files
of a generated Workspace bound under /workspace. A threaded HTTP receiver
takes each task's tar delivery, validating run/task and rejecting traversal.
Outcome comes from the delivered summary.json (done only when every unit
finished), never from ax's phase alone. status prints the token attribution
table per task and Model from the summaries' usage fields (n/a, never an
estimate) and writes attribution.json; doctor runs the four host checks.
- plane/workspaces.py: one Workspace manifest per case pin of a population.
- CLI: ousast plane run|status|doctor|workspaces.
- tests/test_plane_reconciler.py: a fake ax executable drives the DAG;
tests/test_plane_ax_live.py (marker ax) applies ops/ax/smoke-task.yaml on a
live cluster and skips unless doctor passes.
- Module audit rows and regenerated manifest.

steps, candidate-anchored sites). New against the reference: each
candidate's known callers from facts.json in the prompt (capped at 8),
tool turns and usage per hunt in units.jsonl, per-unit resume (rows
with "error" are re-asked), pass label from env, MeteredClient wrapper:
BudgetExhausted -> unfinished (exit 3), AccountError -> failed with the
provider message (exit 2); summary.json is written last, names the bound
Model and the summed usage, and is done only when every unit finished.
- plane/tasks/agree.py: verify_batched.agreement over two pass outputs,
agreed.json / disputed.json, per-candidate cost and turns, declared-site
match via benchmarks/independent/evaluate.matches_v2 loaded by file;
metrics block in summary.json; no model calls.
- tests/test_plane_verify.py: a scripted usage-recording hunter client;
callers line, resume, 402, budget stop and resume, model and summed
usage, unpriced usd None, both main() env contracts, agreement metrics.
- model/audit.py + module-audit manifest: SPEC_OWNED rows for plane.tasks,

plane/tasks/repo_facts.py computes, from source text only and without a
model or git, the product files of a workspace (tests, vendored trees,
node_modules, dist/build, minified bundles and dot-directories excluded via
the layout facts plus the model_sinks.py filter), the functions each file
declares (Python, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby declaration
patterns extended from sink_candidates.py) and, per candidate function, the
call sites in other product files with path, 1-based line and enclosing
function, capped at 40 and sorted (Requirement 5.1). Output is byte-identical
across runs over the same tree (Requirement 5.2).
Under the task contract the unit is one file: a row goes to units.jsonl as
each file finishes and a restart reuses the rows computed for the same
candidate set (Requirement 2.2); facts.json is assembled from the rows and
summary.json is written last, refusing `done` unless every unit finished.
The entrypoint reads OUSAST_WORKSPACE_DIR, OUSAST_OUTPUT_DIR and optional
OUSAST_INPUT_CANDIDATES only (Requirement 2.1) and exits 0 on done, 2 on
failed with the traceback recorded in summary.json.
tests/test_plane_repo_facts.py: a three-file tree with a tests/ file, a
vendored file, a node_modules bundle and a dot-directory; cross-file callers
with line and enclosing function, same-file and declaration lines excluded,
the 40 cap, byte-identical second run, resume that recomputes only the
missing unit, a crash that leaves `failed` with the unit counts and resumes
to `done`, and the declaration patterns per language.

importer, the runner, lands in task 3) and the audit manifest is regenerated.

Add openultrasast.plane.manifests: frozen dataclasses and loaders for ax's
Task, Workspace and Model kinds (ax.io/v1alpha1, ax's fields only) and the
Run kind (openultrasast.io/v1alpha1: tasks, dependsOn, inputs, outputs,
budget, serialize). Every violation raises ManifestError naming the kind,
metadata.name and field path: unknown fields at any depth, wrong apiVersion
or kind, a provider outside google/anthropic unless deepseek is declared via
the openultrasast.io/provider-extension annotation, a Run with a dependency
cycle, an input naming no task, and a Run task naming no loaded Task.
load_manifests reads multi-document YAML files and indexes by kind and name.
PyYAML becomes the one declared core dependency; the two zero-dependency
guards now pin exactly that, and the module audit registers the plane
package under the ai-service-plane spec.

MeteredClient wraps a ChatClient, sums the provider's usage rows per call,
prices them from a Model manifest's parameters (cache-hit, input, output per
million), and raises BudgetExhausted before a call once the usd or calls
ceiling is reached. A 401/402 or "Insufficient Balance" failure becomes
AccountError with the provider's message. An unpriced model reports usd None,
never zero, and refuses a usd budget; summary() gives the spend block of a
task's summary.json.
The two plane modules are registered as spec-owned in the module audit (their
consumers land in tasks 3-4) and the audit manifest is regenerated.

Every model call has failed since 2026-09-10 (83ab533):
- The default detector and judge model was `deepseek-v4.1-flash`, the product name.
The API rejects it with HTTP 400 ("The supported API model names are
deepseek-flash, deepseek-v4-pro"). The judge and pipeline record an endpoint
failure as a degradation, never a verdict, so nothing failed loudly.
- `tool_hunter.resolve_hunter_client` resolved OpenRouter only. In this project
DeepSeek is the chat provider and the OpenRouter key is scoped to embeddings, so
the hunter could not reach a chat model at all; the call came back 401.
The defaults are now `deepseek-flash` (priced). The hunter resolves DeepSeek first
when its key is set, and OpenRouter stays as the explicit or fallback route.
Verified live: plain completion and a tool call through both the endpoint resolver
and the hunter client.
Not affected: the independent evaluations (finding_dump runs with
max_model_calls=0) and the 2026-09-06 hunter measurement, which predates the id.

Three of the four fixed-side alerts left in the independent population had one
cause: the fix was a check, and checks were not modelled.
- wger's fix is `url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme`: `if not ...(next_url):
next_url = reverse(..)` and `if next_url and ...(next_url): return redirect`.
- Ultimate Member's fix is an allowlist: `in_array(strtoupper($order), [...],
true) ? $order : 'ASC'` and `elseif (in_array($sortby, $allowed, true))`.
(The fourth, Signal K, is `assertAllowedHost`, a project-local function. It is not
covered.)
Sanitizer facts can now say `guard = true`. A guard is a check, never a cleansing
call on a path. A flow is discharged only when a guard tests a variable the path
carries, and the flow is in one of these places:
- inside the branch whose condition requires the check. The guard may be combined
with `&&` only;
- past a failure test, a single `!` combined with `||` only, whose branch exits
(return, exit, die, wp_die, throw) or overwrites the value, and whose condition
dominates the flow's end;
- through a ternary whose condition requires the check, where the other arm cannot
carry the value. The engine can enter through the condition's own copy of the
value, which never becomes the result.
Facts: `in_array` (PHP) and Django's `url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme` /
`is_safe_url` (Python). A row now consults guards even when a request lists no
sanitizers.
Two Joern-gated tests cover the discharged shapes and, as controls, an unguarded
redirect, a guard on a different variable, a failure that is only logged, the
unguarded else branch, and the ternary arm the check does not select. Both tests
fail without the guard.

Two defects found by the cause-B rescan of the independent population (exploratory,
a retune after protocol-v1):
- `typescript_property_support_unvalidated` still reached the whole repository.
YesWiki is a PHP application that ships a few `.ts` files, and all 1,128 of its PHP
questions were unresolved. The limit is now owned by the TypeScript partition. A
TypeScript project (Mockoon, Signal K) is unchanged.
- `isSourceCall`, and the method-level "reads a source" heuristics, matched source
patterns as substrings. Flask's `request.get` therefore claimed Django's
`request.get_host()`. wger's fix passes that host to
`url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme`, and both fixed functions were reported as open
redirects from it. Patterns are now matched as bounded tokens, like sinks and
sanitizers. wger's vulnerable-pin detections rest on `request.GET`, which still
matches.

This extends dbcb230 to the remaining graph-integrity gaps. In the independent
evaluation these gaps were repository-wide:
- alerta: one symlink, `alerta/app.wsgi`, which is not even source, made 261 of 261
questions unresolved.
- wger and Signal K: a language no frontend reads did the same.
- YesWiki: unparsed files did the same.
Now:
- the partition build records the paths a symlink boundary skipped (a directory
ends in `/`) and the languages no frontend reads;
- `files_unparsed` carries its full paths;
- the scan demotes only questions about an owned path or under an owned directory,
and only questions in an owned language.
Every gap stays in the report as a boundary. A gap that names nothing keeps its
partition-wide or repository-wide reach. Tier-0 pruning stays off, as before.
The tests that pinned repository-wide reach now assert ownership. The one about a
vendor exclusion masking an integrity failure keeps its intent, using a census gap
that names no file.
Retune after protocol-v1; exploratory only.

`esc_sql` and the mysql/pg `*_escape_string` functions only backslash quotes. A value
they escape is safe inside a quoted literal and nowhere else. Ultimate Member
CVE-2024-1071 is `$sortby = esc_sql(...)` built into `" ORDER BY u.{$sortby} "`, and
it read as sanitized. Sanitizer facts can now say `quoted_only`. The escape keeps its
credit unless the first string the value is built into (concat, interpolation,
addition, f-string) places it after literal text that opens no quote. With no string
built downstream, the credit stays as before. pg_escape_literal adds its own quotes
and stays a full cleanser.
Two further defects hid the same CVE:
- The engine is field-insensitive on the object. Its one path from `$this->sql_order`
went `$this` -> `$this->having` -> `esc_sql($this->having)` -> ... -> the query.
absorbedByObject cut it, and it credited an unrelated field's escape. When a path
leaves a field through the object for another field and reads the first field
again, the detour is spliced out. The later read may be on the path or inside the
sink argument where the path ends.
- The field join judged a field clean if ANY sanitizer name was on its path. It now
uses the same quote-aware check as a row. This matters because the engine's own
path to the query changed between runs: 2 of 4 identical runs chose a path via
`$wpdb->prepare`. The field join is the deterministic route.
Exploratory (retune after protocol-v1): the Ultimate Member vulnerable pin is detected
at class-member-directory-meta.php:936. The fixed pin still alerts at :945. Its fix is
an allowlist (`in_array(...) ? $v : 'ASC'`, and an `in_array` guard), which is not
modelled yet.

python.toml's sources were Flask-only, so no flow could start anywhere on a Django
project. OpenCVE's SSRF reads its URL from `form.cleaned_data`, and the scan answered
the sink file and found nothing. Added: request.GET/POST/body/COOKIES/FILES/META,
DRF's query_params, and cleaned_data.
With those sources known, OpenCVE reported three redirects that cannot leave the
site: `reverse("cves") + "?" + request.GET.urlencode()` (twice) and
`reverse(route, kwargs=...)`. Destination sink facts can now set
`prefix_fixes_origin` and `origin_anchors`. A path is cut when it enters a
concatenation, f-string or `+=` through anything other than its leftmost operand,
and that operand fixes the origin. Origin-fixing operands:
- a literal `/x`, `?` or `#`;
- a literal of the form scheme://host/;
- an anchor call;
- a variable whose every assignment fixes the origin.
A path is also cut when it passes through an anchor. `"/" + x` (//evil) and
`"https://" + host` stay reported. A Joern-gated test covers all seven shapes.
Exploratory (retune after protocol-v1): OpenCVE vulnerable and fixed pins are both
0 findings, down from 2 and 3. The SSRF itself is still missed, because the flow
crosses a registry dispatch (`REGISTRY.get(t)(extras).run()`) that the engine does
not follow.

The first independent evaluation (results-v1.json) completed no question on eight of
eleven projects. On the cases traced, the cause was a census gap: `.eslintrc.js` or
`webpack.config.js` missing from a JavaScript graph, or `contrib/apache/api.wsgi` from a
Python graph, and every question in that language was then marked unresolved. Now only
questions about a named missing file are demoted. The gap is still reported as a
boundary. A gap that names no files still reaches its whole partition.
This is a retune after the evaluation. Per protocol-v1 it cannot be qualified on the

The core-hook-argument class from the second PMPro adjudication:
pmpro_membership_history_profile_fields($user) on `edit_user_profile` was
a route entry, so its parameters were attacker input -- and $user is the
WP_User WordPress loaded; its ID became an SQL injection.
A callback registered in a string-keyed registry is handed its arguments by
the matching apply call, not by the request. The mapper now records the
registration call on the entry (`registered_by`), regions carry it, and the
dispatch fact says which registrations DO hand a callback request-borne
arguments (`request_arguments`; WordPress: add_shortcode, whose $atts are
post content). Every other registered callback keeps its call depth but
its parameters stop being sources; request data that reaches an apply
call's arguments is still followed by the hook half of the taint query.
REST routes are not registry entries and keep the parameter rule.
Controls: the fact field is validated against `register`; a hook callback
is not input, a shortcode and a plain route are.

The apply_filters class from the second PMPro adjudication (2 of 3
remaining false positives): `apply_filters('pmpro_random_code', $code,
$this)` returned whatever $this carried, and a report's `$type` reached SQL
only as an extra filter argument. Two causes, both fixed generally:
- The dispatch fact now says what an apply call RETURNS: `returns` names
the calls whose result is the dispatched value and `value_arg` its
position (WordPress: apply_filters/apply_filters_ref_array return
argument 2; do_action returns nothing). A path through such a call must
ENTER by that argument -- the first of the run of the call's arguments
before it, because the engine hops between sibling arguments
($_GET["c"] -> md5("x") -> apply_filters). Loaded and validated as data;
the query knows no framework.
- A call was a source when the pattern appeared anywhere in its text, so
`apply_filters(..., $_GET["c"])` and `sanitize_text_field($_POST[..])`
were sources themselves -- the "a token matches the thing it names"
invariant. A call is now a source when the pattern names its callee,
receiver or the access it is; the inner access stays a source.
Controls: dispatch facts load/validate; a real-Joern case with request
data as filter context (quiet) and as the filtered value (found). 1,453
host and 18 query tests pass.

da0ee57 turned parameter sources off for the mapper's catch-all `function`
entries, and with them the field join's seeds, which read the same flag:
MW WP Form's CVE-2023-6559 ($this->Data, filled by a constructor) was lost
(10 -> 3). The field join now has its own request field,
`fieldParameterSources`, set by the old entry rule; a region's own
parameters follow the new one. Both known CVEs are found again (MW WP Form
10 -> 4, WP Statistics 39 -> 18, 91/91 and 774/774 completed). The dropped

Two classes the traced PMPro survivors named after 1f91c0b:
- The mapper records every named PHP function as an entry of kind
`function` (3,507 of PMPro's 4,412), and every entry's parameters were
sources, so internal helpers became injections: sendCancelAdminEmail's
$user, a gateway hook callback's $user_id/$morder fired by do_action.
Regions now carry the entry kind; parameters are input only for request
entries (route, parser, privileged surface). Call depth is unchanged, so
such a region is still followed into its callees. JavaScript and Python
emit no `function` entries.
- The object rule is general: a field read continues a flow through the
bare object only if the taint came through the SAME field, or was
assigned to the variable or passed in as a parameter. It now also cuts
$this->Gateway -> this -> $this->user_id (memberorder.php:705).
plausible() memoises the sink test per node and skips the object walk for
paths with no field access (the filter had cost one outlier 101 s -> 160 s).

The loop the maintainer called out: four scale defects in the PHP transfer
replay, found one per two-hour Joern run, all Python bookkeeping between
engine calls. benchmarks/push/python_overhead.py ends that: the real
replay() on the real PMPro pins, with a JoernBackend whose graphs are stubs
and whose queries answer instantly with rows recorded from the real engine.
Engine time is zero, so everything measured is ours, in about a minute,
under the sampling profiler. Its first pass named two more walls:
- Region discovery re-parsed the ruleset for every region: 89,127 TOML
parses, 275 s of a 339 s discovery, twice per push. The fact, obligation
and taxonomy loaders now keep the parsed (immutable) result keyed by each
file's name, size and mtime -- an edit in place or an added file reloads.
Discovery 339 s -> 7 s; output digest identical on PMPro.
- affected_context decoded every span's and every line anchor's path for
every context row -- a changed file has an anchor per unchanged line --
78% of a stubbed push. Decoded once per call, anchors indexed by line and
bisected, original order kept. A randomised control compares it against
the row-by-row matching over 200 contexts (>100 attachments).
Result: the whole stubbed PMPro push, 27,542 answered requests and 2,688
outcomes, runs in 58.5 s of Python. What is left is the engine.

The third wall under the 13.3 replay, found by the streamed case log: the
evidence and context passes finished at 14:53, then nothing -- no engine
call, no log line -- for 82 minutes, until the case was killed 60 s past
its 7,200 s deadline. `affected_context` tested membership with
`relation not in relationships` on a list: 7,998,000 comparisons for 4,000
relationships (profiled, 83% of the time), and a push over a WordPress
plugin attaches tens of thousands. The deadline is checked once per
question, so a single late question could run for minutes, which is also
why the process overran its cancellation allowance.
Membership now goes through a set beside the ordered list, and each
distinct context path is resolved once instead of once per row. Measured:
4,000 relationships 7.4 s -> 0.44 s; 400,000 in 16 s. The control counts
comparisons rather than timing them, and fails on the old code with
7,998,000.

The PHP transfer replay (pre-push 13.3) spent its whole 7,200 s case in the
head side's evidence pass. A probe on one PMPro graph named the cause: not
compute -- context adds ~20% engine time -- but OUTPUT. Each evidence request
listed every method its scope reached, up to 1,845 rows; 200 requests into
the bundled Braintree SDK returned 52,831 rows, 9.4 MB, against 211 rows
without context, over 22,125 requests in a 3 GB container.
`affected_context` only ever attaches a location in a changed file, and
every other row was checked (real file under the root, usable extent) and
discarded. The scan now sends the changed files; the engine itemises those
and folds the rest into one `context_elsewhere` row carrying exactly what
that check reads. With no safe file list the engine itemises everything,
as before.
Equivalence: unit controls over valid, missing-file, no-extent and
outside-root cases, with and without a changed-file row; a real-Joern
control; and on PMPro itself, 2,440 relationships and zero gaps decided
identically from both forms, 52,831 rows down to 3,241 with the most
referenced file as the change. Probe: benchmarks/push/context_cost_probe.py.

The measured-cost run left 99 taint requests unasked to keep time for
arbitration and reported them as `query_failed` -- an engine that could not
answer -- because they were simply missing from the answer. They are now
`query_budget_reserved`, both as a degradation and as each question's outcome
reason, and are no longer double counted when nothing answered.

The 7.8 trace showed the completion loss was a sizer death spiral, not
expensive families: after two kills the budget fell to 3 sink visits and
never recovered, because portions finishing in 25-30 s sat under an assumed
70 s fixed start and read as "no information", so the budget could only
shrink.
- taint.sc streams each answer's own cost (`ms`); the backend carries it as a
reserved `__timing__` list through shards, partitions and reuse.
- The sizer budgets predicted seconds from per-family seconds-per-visit rates
learned from those costs, and measures the fixed start as the wall time the
answers do not explain (median), instead of assuming it.
- A kill names its culprit: the first unanswered id in request order. The ids
behind it never started and are re-queued at once; the culprit is asked
alone after the rest. One that still fails alone after more than a
portion's target is reported as `query_too_expensive`, apart from
`query_failed`.
- Portions grow id by id from the queue head, and a single-portion scan now
goes through the queue too, so a kill there re-asks its remainder.
- Fix: the reuse wrapper wrapped only `run_batch`, so since 7.8 every
portioned query bypassed the graph-reuse cache and its source-root
normalization. `run_batch_once` is wrapped too.

The portioner iterated a fixed pre-split list, so a killed portion left its unanswered ids behind:
on the plugin the list ran out at 1,263 s of a 3,600 s budget with those remainders lost, and
completion sat far below what the budget could buy. It is now a work queue. A portion that comes back
short pushes its unanswered ids to the front, to be re-asked at the budget the kill just halved;
`fit` splits an over-budget head, so heads shrink toward single requests, and a single request a
whole ceiling could not answer is dropped rather than looped on forever. A control asserts both the
re-ask and that termination.
This is the last piece of portioning-over-cap: streaming keeps what a kill finished, single-attempt
timing keeps the sizer honest, coverage tells a too-big portion from a slow one, and the queue keeps
working while budget and work remain.

run_batch_once was wired on the disposable and sharded paths but not the partitioned one -- and a
multi-language repository, which every WordPress plugin is, builds through the partitioned graph. So
the portioner fell back to run_batch there, whose internal split-retry folded into the time it
measured: a portion read 956 s and collapsed the sizer, exactly as before the single-attempt fix.
The fix had no effect on the one subject it was written for.
PartitionGraph now has run_batch_once, dispatching to each sub-graph the same way run_batch does --
the routing is factored into one _dispatch method that takes the per-graph method name. Sub-graphs
are built through the disposable path and already carry run_batch_once.
The lesson, again: a capability added at one construction site is not added at the others. There are
three that build a queryable graph -- disposable, sharded, partitioned -- and the one that mattered
for the measurement was the one missed.

End-to-end, the adaptive portioner regressed completion -- 64 of 406 against 7.7 hard-cap 153 --
while finding the same defects. The cause: the portioner timed each portion with run_batch, which
splits on failure internally, so one portion folded its own eight-way retry into its number and read
953 s. The sizer fitted a per-visit rate from that and collapsed its budget to 14 visits, spending
the back half of the deadline on tiny portions.
Two portioning layers were fighting. The portioner is now the sole retry layer: it asks
run_batch_once, a single invocation whose kill returns the answers it streamed, so its wall time is
the cost of one attempt. And it observes COVERAGE, not emptiness -- a portion that came back short
of the ids it asked halves the budget, because it was too big for the ceiling; only a whole answer
gives a clean per-visit sample to fit from.
run_batch_once is new on CpgResult, wired on the disposable and sharded paths; a backend without it
falls back to run_batch unchanged. Host controls cover the single-attempt path and the
halve-on-short-answer rule.
1,424 tests pass, nineteen skipped. The end-to-end plugin re-measure on a frozen tree is the open
item; the mechanism (a kill keeps what finished) and the sizer logic are unit-verified.

Measured on the plugin, first run of the adaptive sizer. A 600-visit portion answered in 184 s and
the budget was correctly cut to 262. The next portion, 199 visits, answered in 73 s -- three seconds
of work above the 70 s fixed start -- and 3 s over 199 visits read as 0.015 s each, so the budget
grew thirteen-fold to 3,404 visits. The ceiling killed that portion. The harvest kept the 13
answers it had streamed, which is the mechanism working; the sizing was not.
Two rules. A sample with less than ten seconds of work above the fixed start is not extrapolated
from, because it carries no information about cost per visit. And a budget may double per portion,
never more: the sizing may still be wrong, but by at most one factor of two, which a kill undoes.
1,423 tests pass, nineteen skipped; the sizer control asserts both rules.

The evidence pass bypasses the sink-weighted portioning by design: it is the pass that PRODUCES the
weights, and per request it is cheap, 17,700 answered in 44 s. It was still one all-or-nothing batch
protected only by the ceiling. On a plugin push transaction that batch is 22,125 requests, and under
the CPU and memory contention of concurrent test runs it exceeded the ceiling and cost the whole case.
It now runs in portions of 4,000 requests, roughly ten seconds of work behind one JVM start, with
answers merged and the census kept from the first portion that carried it. Streaming keeps what a
killed portion finished; portioning keeps that kill from being the entire pass.
Task 13.3 records the attempt that exposed this honestly: the case deadline was exhausted with no
artifact, and the failure was mine twice over -- the container mounts src live and the backend was
edited mid-run, and the evidence pass was unportioned. Neither is the algorithm. The rerun uses a
frozen export of the committed source with per-invocation logging.

A hard per-invocation ceiling is all-or-nothing. A batch killed at 301 s lost every answer it had
already computed, and the retry paid a fresh JVM start per part to ask them all again: measured, 116
requests killed at 300 s, then eight restarts carrying the same everywhere-sinks in every part.
Three coordinated changes make portioning, not the cap, the thing that governs cost.
The taint query STREAMS. The census first, then one line per request as it is answered, flushed as
it goes, inside the unchanged fence. The other queries do not stream and need not; the driver
reads both forms, and a legacy single document parses exactly as before.
The driver HARVESTS a kill. The process group is terminated first -- a first cut read the pipe
before killing and a pipe whose writer is alive never reaches end-of-file; the suite own
hanging-engine control sat on that read for twenty-eight minutes -- then the pipe is drained and
every complete line becomes an answer, marked partial. The retry asks only the remainder.
Portion sizing ADAPTS. After each portion the observed seconds per sink visit, less the fixed
start, resizes the rest toward a 120 s target; a portion that did not answer halves the budget
rather than being fitted, because its true cost is unknown and above the ceiling. A portion cut
down to fit puts its remainder back at the front of the queue.
A census LINE carries nothing but the census. A first cut misread a legacy document that carried the
census beside its answers as a census line and dropped every answer it sat beside; a control caught
it. Task 7.8 in contributor-scan.
Verified: 1,423 host tests pass, nineteen skipped, including new controls for the assembler in both
forms and under a kill, for a retry that asks only the remainder, and for the sizer. Not yet
verified: the joern-gated streaming check and the plugin measurement, which wait for the transfer
replay to free the machine and are stated as open in the task.

The reserve was computed once and checked between kinds, and one kind is a single iteration that runs
every one of its batches inside it. So taint spent the whole budget and the reserve only stopped the
cheap kinds queued behind it: 0 of 406 questions completed, 2,435 s of a 2,700 s deadline in queries,
identical to having no reserve at all.
The granularity of a budget check has to match the granularity of the work it guards. It is now
checked before each batch, and the batches left unasked are logged rather than silently dropped.
1,420 tests pass, eighteen skipped.
