ruleset/frameworks.toml lists 19 framework and library ids (wordpress, flask, django, express,
spring, jakarta-servlet, react, vue and 11 libraries), each with its languages, dependency
package names and a symbol lexicon used only by the lint and for stratification.
Every framework/library entry of section 2 is tagged `framework`/`library`, and mixed entries
are split so a tag covers a whole entry (split pieces keep the entry's id and flags, in place):
semantic facts 38 tagged entries (wordpress 6, django 6, flask 4, express 4, jakarta-servlet 3,
pyyaml 2, one each for spring, sqlalchemy, requests, httpx, lodash, node-http-clients,
escape-html, sanitize-html, dompurify, esapi, commons-text, react, vue); the dispatch fact
behind the hook-as-source path is wordpress; the PHP layout row is renamed php_layout and stays
untagged (a product filter). Quick rules: 9 tagged (wordpress 6, flask, pyyaml,
node-http-clients); php-unserialize is split into php-unserialize and php-maybe-unserialize;
the lint also caught WordPress escapers in exclusions and axios/yaml.load in mixed rules, so
those keep their ids as tagged rules and gain a `fallback_for` language-level rule (6) that is
active only when the prior is off.
load_facts and load_ruleset take priors ("all" by default -- today's scan --, "off", or a set
of ids). tests/test_semantic_priors.py: the lint (no untagged entry contains a lexicon symbol
of its language), "off" removes exactly the tagged entries and activates the fallbacks, split
entries keep their language-level calls. Rule and layout counts in three existing tests follow the split and the rename.
Unchanged defaults: test_benchmark_output_is_byte_identical_to_golden_baseline passes, and the
quick findings of all 15 benchmark manifests (full StaticFinding records) are byte-identical
before and after. priors=off on the same manifests: 61 -> 57 findings; the 4 lost are js-ssrf
(axios), php-wpdb-sql-composition, python-ssti and python yaml.load; 5 PHP and 1 Python finding
move to their fallback rule at the same location. Semantic calls with priors off: php 75/92,
python 32/77, javascript 42/70, java 24/41, c 27/27 (the engine-side effect needs Joern and was
not measured).

Externalize detection rules to versioned TOML and remove rule-local severity, so
rules detect and the central CWE policy decides severity — fixing "rules too
influential / not centrally managed". Zero-dependency; detection is byte-identical
(benchmark recall 44/47 = 93.6%, FP 0% unchanged) and the 90/10 gate holds.
- RulesetStore (ruleset/store.py + ruleset/<lang>/rules.toml): PatternRule as data
(rule_id, title, languages, cwe, tags, pattern, status, min_evidence_level,
precision_estimate, version) with NO severity; load_ruleset (sorted, with
optional rule_policy.json ledger overlay) and a stdlib TOML write_ruleset. The
32 rules were generated from the prior PATTERN_RULES with a verified exact
round-trip (pattern/cwe/languages/tags/title).
- findings.py: drop the hardcoded PatternRule class + PATTERN_RULES tuple; load the
default ruleset from TOML; quick_scan_findings(root, targets, rankings, ruleset,
policy) resolves each finding's severity from policy via resolve_severity
(SEVERITY_LABEL maps 0-5 -> string) and tags findings with their rule status.
- Three-status volume control: StaticFinding gains status (default "enabled");
disabled rules never fire; shadow findings are partitioned out of the report and
score in the CLI (written to shadow_findings.json) — no shadow rules by default.
- Emission floors (RulesetConfig.min_emit_priority / min_emit_precision, default
0.0 = emit all) replace "every match is a finding".
- CLI loads the ruleset as a stage and uses it for the fail-loud policy check,
detection, hunter pool, and the score CWE map. Wheel ships the ruleset TOML.
85 tests pass; ruff + mypy clean. Spec tasks 3.1-3.4 checked off.
