Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 4.8 43ef254134 feat(benchmark): valid detection benchmark spec + offline modules (groups 1-4)
Builds the benchmark from .kiro/specs/valid-detection-benchmark/brief.md:
sound labels from the fix (no SZZ), app-shaped verified positives,
ordinary negatives from the same repos, whole tool on unseen repos,
standard metrics.

Spec: requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md. Reuses the existing sourcing,
fix-site labelling, negative drawing, replay, and Wilson scoring; drops
the SZZ layer.

New offline modules under benchmarks/valid/:
- catalog.py  positives labelled at the fix site (never introducing/last_touch)
- verify.py   one LLM call per case (vulnerable? fix addresses it? reachable
              in-repo?) + human spot-check; this is the app-shaped filter.
              Honors the instrument rule: bytes read per function, reject on
              an empty read.
- assemble.py >=20x ordinary negatives + a frozen, deterministic manifest with
              the held-out guard
- metrics.py  precision (PPV), false alarms per 100 pushes, exploit-verified
              rate, and the plain headline, layered on score.py

36 new offline tests, 495 regression tests green. No network, no harvest,
no model calls in tests. Group 5 (the live pilot) is not started.

Tasks: valid detection benchmark

Order is dependency order. Each task is small enough to review on its own. New code under benchmarks/valid/. Implementation goes through Codex, gated here.

Group 1 - positive catalog (fix-site, no SZZ)

  • 1.1 benchmarks/valid/catalog.py: given sourced advisories (reuse source.py/draft.py output), build candidate positive cases by fix site. Wrap extract.fix_sites() + pairs/materialize.py; read the pre-fix function at parent and the post-fix function at commit. Must not call introducing or last_touch. Emit the [[case]] catalog in the design schema. (R1)
  • 1.2 Filter to Python and JS/TS only; attach language and family/cwe. (scope decision)
  • 1.3 Offline test: a fixture commit yields one case with the correct pre/post functions and method = "fix_site"; assert SZZ methods are never invoked.

Group 2 - LLM verification driver

  • 2.1 benchmarks/valid/verify.py: one DeepSeek call per case via the shipped provider (off-cluster). Confirm vulnerable-pre-fix, fix-addresses-it, reachable-in-repo; name the entry point; return confidence. Print bytes read per function before the call; reject a verdict on an empty read. (R3, instrument rule)
  • 2.2 Emit the verification record (design schema) to verification.json; verdict = "accepted" only when all three checks pass. Reachability here is the app-shaped filter. (R2, R3)
  • 2.3 Human spot-check hook: a small CLI to record accept/reject + reviewer + date per case into the same record. (R3)
  • 2.4 Offline test with a stub model: a case with all three true and a human accept becomes accepted; any false, or a human reject, does not.

Group 3 - negatives and assembly

  • 3.1 benchmarks/valid/assemble.py: draw negatives with extract.draw_ordinary() from the accepted positives' repos, at least 20x, excluding the fix. (R4)
  • 3.2 Freeze accepted positives + negatives into a pool.toml-shaped manifest + freeze-valid.json digest; run the held-out guard via eligibility.normalize. (R5, R8)
  • 3.3 Offline test: freeze is deterministic (same source -> same digest); held-out guard drops any repo in the used set.

Group 4 - metrics

  • 4.1 benchmarks/valid/metrics.py: precision (PPV) with Wilson 95% over positives+negatives. (R7)
  • 4.2 False alarms per 100 pushes as the presentation of score.py's false-alarm rate. (R7)
  • 4.3 Exploit-verified rate: join flagged positives with a search-with-proof run by case id; report "not yet proved" where absent. (R7)
  • 4.4 Build the headline string (recall + FP/100 + precision + exploit-verified). (R7)
  • 4.5 Offline test on a tiny hand-made record set: all four metrics and intervals match hand calcs.

Group 5 - pilot run (research, local)

  • 5.1 Source Python/JS advisories; run catalog.py to ~25 candidates. (deliberate, rate-aware)
  • 5.2 Run verify.py + human spot-check to land ~12 accepted positives.
  • 5.3 assemble.py freezes the pilot manifest + negatives (>=20x) + held-out guard.
  • 5.4 replay.py on the Docker lane, whole tool on (quick + engine + LLM arm).
  • 5.5 score.py + metrics.py: produce recall, precision, FP/100, exploit-verified, intervals, and the headline. Freeze the run under benchmarks/measurements/.
  • 5.6 Write up the pilot: the four numbers, what they mean, and the target set size from required_n for the full ~40-positive benchmark.

Out of this spec

  • Growing beyond the pilot to the full set (follow-up, once the pipeline is proven).
  • Running on kube ax (blocked on gVisor; Docker lane is enough here).
  • Any new detection capability.
