Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 4.8 27a7c12ca1 measure(g2): model hunter on sound targets -- first LLM catch the static tiers missed (1/2)
ousast scan --mode deep (DeepSeek deepseek-flash, model layer + tool_hunter, 60-call bound) on
bedrock + graphiti, the two sound pilot targets the static engine missed:
- graphiti: HIT -- falkordb_driver.py:207, tag family:cypher-injection; rationale traces
  build_fulltext_query concatenating user input into a Cypher string at line 278 (inside the
  labelled function, location-matches). The static engine produced zero findings here.
- bedrock: miss -- 12 suspicions on adjacent concerns (network-PUBLIC, download_file), never
  named the install_packages -> pip command injection.
Cost is a non-issue: ~$0.007/repo, 64 model calls for a whole-repo deep scan. BUT everything
stopped at suspicion rung -- the proof arm did not elevate to proven; release-grade BLOCK needs
proven findings.

Direction (maintainer): prompt evolution is a core lever -- a DSPy-based loop (GEPA/MIPRO,
pluggable; evolving field) whose objective is to learn what hints/annotations steer the model
to the real sink, sourced from the framework knowledge already shipped (no new user
annotation), with LLM-proposed boundaries graduating into the facts.

Next: measure proof-arm lift on graphiti; stand up the DSPy hint loop + re-run bedrock; widen
the hunter to the 23 sound targets for a catch rate; then a change-scoped + proven run.
