JVM startup dominated a scan: a call per region per family put a ten-line
file at 275s over three regions, and would have put a thousand regions at
roughly fifty hours. The queries themselves are milliseconds once the CPG
is loaded, so the cost was almost entirely process starts.
scan_repository() is now collect -> batch -> arbitrate. The three .sc
scripts accept a `requests` JSON map and answer all of them in one run,
keeping the single-request form so the committed measurements stay
reproducible byte-for-byte. Arbiters are untouched: each is handed a
CpgResult whose `run` returns its own prefetched rows.
The batcher builds parameters by calling request_params() extracted from
taint.py, dominance.py and config_value.py rather than reconstructing
them. A second copy that drifts from the arbiter's is the exact shape of
the five family-assumption bugs the predecessor spec spent a session
finding; there is now one definition per family and the batcher borrows
it.
Regions are also deduplicated by (path, function), collapsing the
nameless entry-point rows that were producing `model:injection:?:10`.
Measured on the same ten-line file: 275s -> 106s, three duplicate
findings -> one `model:injection:ping:10`, rung unchanged at
model_entailed. Gates byte-identical.
Server mode is recorded as task 2.3, deliberately sequenced after the
repository measurement: whether the remaining ~100s floor is worth a
process model, a weakened subprocess seam and a Scala-evaluating HTTP
endpoint depends on a build-time-to-query-time ratio only 2.2 produces.

CI was red on `ruff format --check`: 23 files. I ran `ruff check` after every
change this session and never once ran `ruff format --check`, though CI runs
both. Lint passing is not formatting passing, and I treated one as evidence for
the other for the whole session.
Formatting applied. The full CI sequence now reproduces locally: format, lint,
mypy over 94 files, 735 tests, three gates byte-identical, compileall, and the
semantic job's 16 marked tests.
Also records run 5 of the pipeline measurement, which the vampi fix lifted as
predicted:
hunter (K=5) pipeline (K=1)
pair-correct 76.7% 90.0%
leak 12.3% 6.7%
detection -- 96.7%
cost ~$0.69 $0.0068
27 of 30 pairs. Five runs, each step from a measurement contradicting an
assumption: 73.3 (no pipeline path) -> 73.3 (routing fixed, IDENTICAL, which
exposed the discarded verdict) -> 80.0 (residual question matched to its
arbiter) -> 86.7 (aiohttp settings) -> 90.0 (dominance question no longer
contradicting its own evidence).
One miss left: dsvpwa-dsvpwa-main, whose setting is an argparse --ssl default
rather than a security-setting call. Out of reach before the settings work and
still is; contorting the arbiter around one pair would be worse than the miss.
The caveat is recorded beside the number: 30 pairs of one slice, and the slice
iterated against all session. The +16% overfitting gap against vfc-js is why
contributor-scan Req 8.1/8.2 exist.

The whole engine integration is one subprocess boundary: joern-parse builds a
cpg.bin, joern --script runs a shipped CPGQL query that prints its JSON between
fence markers, because Joern's stdout carries a banner and a REPL prompt around
whatever a script emits. Nothing is imported in-process, so the core install
keeps dependencies = [] -- a test walks the seam's AST to assert it imports
only the standard library and names no JVM binding.
Fail closed everywhere. A build or query that errors, times out, or prints
something unparseable yields no verdict and the caller reports suspicion. The
taint verdict distinguishes this from absence deliberately: a query returning
None means "the engine could not decide", which is not "there is no flow", and
conflating them is how a missing engine silently becomes a clean bill of health.
The verdict is where the ladder earns its keep. An unsanitized source->sink
path is model_entailed -- the graph establishes it and the LLM's claim is no
longer load-bearing. A path a sanitizer may break is model_corroborated: the
flow is real, but whether the sanitizer suffices is the semantic residual the
LLM answers, checked against this verdict rather than averaged over runs. The
chosen flow is picked by a total order (shortest, then lexicographic), so two
runs over one CPG cannot disagree -- Req 6.4 asserted directly.
The query itself is the part our flat IR could not do: reachableByFlows walks
the PDG, so `q = "..." + request.args["x"]; execute(q)` is found, which is
exactly the one-hop limit that held measured entailment at 2.2%.
Capability detection reuses semantic/engines.joern_available rather than
growing a second notion of "installed". The audit manifest is regenerated; the
new modules are named by Req 4/5/6 rather than counted as orphans.
Task 2.3, the go/no-go measurement, needs Joern installed and has not run.
