Marius CiepluchandClaude Fable 5.1 17e07b36c4 feat(prover): delivery B: handler-named operations, Symfony, Livewire, Remix and Tornado entries, enforcement witnesses, memoised path walk
Codex delivery under spec access-control-prover plus one fix of mine. Operation rows may now name a handler by
name pattern and framework (Jenkins form validation and list filling, Tornado request methods, Remix actions);
the mapper recognises Symfony, Livewire and Laravel controllers, Remix exports and Tornado handlers;
`obligations/enforcement.py` turns Laravel route middleware, Symfony attributes and security.yaml rules and
Tornado's authenticated decorator into router and decorator witnesses. The path walk looks each node's callers
up once per change and does not walk a tree with no recognised entry: one seatunnel change fell from 670 s to
35 s. One name Codex could not source (Tornado get_current_user) is left out and said so in the facts header.

Smoke on the 23 fix changes: 15 pushes caught (65 percent, Wilson 45 to 81), 55 of 93 locations, precision
15 of 15 flagged, no instrument failure, no change over 120 s. Delivery A caught 7.

Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5 f31ef862a7 fix(output-encoding): ask about the server half, and say what the family cannot decide
The census recorded this family completing 44 questions on a Node application and finding
nothing, which is what a client-only vocabulary must do there: all six declared sinks were DOM
sinks. NodeGoat's cross-site scripting is server-side.

Decision: the family asks about a value reaching a rendering call, and states in its own
declaration that it cannot decide template-mediated escaping. Whether res.render is safe depends
on the engine's autoescape setting and on the template's markup, neither of which is at the
call, so res.render is not a sink and the family's limits field says so. A new CWE-79 sink
covers res.write, res.end, res.send and the response.* spellings; res.json stays out because an
application/json body is not a document.

Template auto-escaping is claimed where its evidence is, as a configuration defect:
swig.setDefaults, nunjucks.configure and marked.setOptions are security settings now.

It establishes a finding: app/routes/research.js:25, model_entailed,
`req.query.url + req.query.symbol -> res.write(body)`. The handler fetches a URL the caller
chooses and writes the response body into a text/html response, so the document served from
this origin is the attacker's. The record states how coarse the step is: the path from url to
body runs through the client's callback parameter, which the graph treats as reachable from the
call's arguments, so the conclusion rests on the call's semantics rather than on what the graph
established. Five of seven families now establish findings.

Four defects were found on the way, three of them false positives this change would otherwise
have shipped.

- The permissive-value set was shared across every setting, while a boolean's polarity belongs
  to the setting: true leaves the door open in cors({origin: true}) and closes it in
  swig.setDefaults({autoescape: true}). Adding the template engines would have reported the fix
  as the defect on the line that offers it. ConfigSpec now carries per-setting values, and
  Jinja2's Environment moved out of Python's shared list for the same latent reason.
- config.sc matched a dotted setting on its trailing segment alone, so marked.setOptions would
  have claimed an editor's setOptions. dominance.sc already required the qualifier.
- taint.sc asked its flow query of every argument including the receiver at index 0. On a
  response sink the receiver is the response object, so res.end() -- which takes no data -- was
  reported exactly like the res.write(body) two lines above it. Flows now use the real
  arguments, as arity already did.
- The arbiter sorted a file's settings by line number as TEXT, so line 126 preceded line 78 and
  which setting a file reported depended on the spelling of its line numbers.

Template escaping disabled at server.js:135 is detected, measured model_entailed against the
real query and the real arbiter, and still not reported: the arbiter returns one verdict per
question and that file has an earlier permissive setting. Task 14.6 carries it rather than
hiding it.

1,415 tests pass, thirteen skipped; nine Joern-gated query tests pass in the image.

Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5 950a4c7ac4 fix(corpus): the three silent config pairs were a settings gap, not corpus defects
I was wrong, and the correction matters more than the fix.

I reported these three pairs as corpus defects on a similarity measure -- 23%,
45%, 53% -- and said no settings table could make them split. That threshold
came from the OWASP minimal-fix analysis and does not apply to this slice. The
vibe-py corpus pairs a vulnerable function with a DIFFERENT, SAFE function from
the same repository; low similarity is the design, not a defect.
djangoat-views-user-view sits at 36% and dsvpwa-handlers-do-bdr at 34%, and
both score pair_correct.

Reading the actual code instead of the metric shows what the settings table was
missing: aiohttp's Application(debug=True) and RedisStorage(httponly=False).
Adding them, two of the three now split -- vuln model_entailed, fixed silent:

  dvpwa-app-init         Application(debug = True, middlewares = [...])
  dvpwa-middlewares      RedisStorage(app['redis'], httponly = False)

The third, dsvpwa-dsvpwa-main, stays silent for the reason predicted before the
change: its setting is an argparse default (--ssl defaulting to 0), which is a
CLI default rather than a security-setting call and is not reachable by this
arbiter.

One weakness this exposes and does not fix: permissive_values is a flat list of
literals with no keyword association, so it holds both True and False. debug=True
is dangerous while httponly=True is safe, and the model cannot currently tell
them apart. It happens not to bite on these pairs; it is a real limit of the
fact schema and worth naming.

734 passing, gates byte-identical.

Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5 db3db6056d feat(model-grounded-detection): widen the settings table, wire the weak-algorithm arm
Two things, and a finding that says neither fixes the pairs that prompted them.

The settings table was Flask/FastAPI-shaped (CORS, set_cookie, app.run) while
the corpus contains aiohttp and Django applications, so three config_secrets
pairs contained no modelled security setting at all. Added aiohttp's
session_setup and cookie storages and Django's SECURE_* / DEBUG settings: 8
calls to 24.

And config_secrets spans three abstractions while only one was wired -- a
permissive setting VALUE. Weak algorithm CHOICE (CWE-326/327) is a different
thing: the danger is the algorithm NAMED, not a flag left open. Its data has
been sitting on the sink facts as `weak_literals` since before this feature and
nothing read it. Both abstractions read the same literal, so the arm is small:
hashlib.new("md5") is now entailed and hashlib.new("sha256") is not.

The finding: the three silent config pairs are CORPUS DEFECTS, not model gaps.
Measured similarity 23%, 45% and 53% -- dsvpwa-dsvpwa-main pairs `def main()`
against `def run(self, handler)`, a different function entirely. No settings
table can make those split, and it is worth saying so rather than letting the
work imply otherwise. The table gap was real and worth closing on its own
merits; it just is not why those pairs are silent.

734 passing, mypy/ruff clean, gates byte-identical.

Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5 8e26dfd1e2 feat(authorization-obligations): group sibling handlers and find consistency anomalies
Task 2.2. Handlers on the same resource under the same module are siblings;
when at least min_siblings of them discharge an obligation and one does not,
that one is the anomaly and the discharging siblings are its evidence (Req 3.2).
A set with fewer members than the minimum is under-populated and never reported
(Req 3.3). A public route among authenticated siblings is a missing path guard
with the mapper's access classification as evidence (Req 3.4).

The sibling key is the module path without its suffix, so two same-named files
in different directories are never merged. Witness validity (an identity
constraint counts only when it binds the authenticated context) is one helper
shared by operations, siblings and the checker.

Marius CiepluchandClaude Fable 5.1 f44dd2c512 feat(authorization-obligations): obligated operations and dischargers as closed facts
Task 1.1 (Req 1.1-1.5).

- semantic/obligations/facts.py: closed OPERATION_KINDS, DISCHARGER_KINDS
  and PROVENANCE_KINDS; OperationFact and DischargerFact (calls,
  decorators, identity sources, constraint params, request sources,
  permissive values); load_obligation_facts rejects unknown kinds and
  fields by name; per-language scoping.
- ruleset/obligations/{python,javascript,typescript}.toml beside (never
  inside) the flow facts directory. Protected reads and writes are
  discharged by an identity constraint or an ownership check; a path
  guard discharges privileged actions only.
