Marius CiepluchandClaude Fable 5.1 74a529825d spec: access-control prover (requirements, gap analysis, design, tasks)
A deterministic check that a protected operation is reachable from an entry point without a check dominating
the path, per framework, built on the existing obligations checker, caller index and entry mapper; scored as a
rule arm on the access-control training pool. Follows the maintainer's finding that the hunter's features
describe shape and cannot decide unsafety.

Implementation Plan

  • 1. Paths from the caller index

  • 1.1 Add PathRecord and compose_paths in src/openultrasast/semantic/obligations/paths.py (P)

    • Upward walk through a callers(path, function) callable, depth and fan-out bounds, stop at the first entry, chains kept per file, deduplicated; unreached targets returned
    • Done when tests/test_obligation_paths.py covers depth 1 to 3, unreached, fan-out cut and same-name files, and check_obligations accepts the records as paths (one test runs the checker with them)
    • Requirements: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
    • Boundary: obligations.paths
  • 2. Entry recognisers

  • 2.1 Stapler and Jetty recognisers in mapping.py (P)

    • Public do[A-Z]... methods on exposed types or with Stapler-typed or @QueryParameter parameters; Jetty AbstractHandler, HttpServlet, JAX-RS resources; evidence strings; public only for UnprotectedRootAction
    • Done when tests/test_mapping_frameworks.py names the entries of a fixture Descriptor, rejects a private helper named doX, and the existing mapping tests still pass
    • Requirements: 1.1, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8
    • Boundary: mapping
  • 2.2 Symfony, Livewire and Laravel controller, Remix export and Tornado recognisers in mapping.py (P)

    • Done when fixture files of each shape yield route entries with evidence and the negative fixtures yield none
    • Requirements: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8
    • Boundary: mapping
  • 3. Enforcement witnesses and facts

  • 3.1 semantic/obligations/enforcement.py producing router and decorator Discharge witnesses (P)

    • Laravel route middleware and controller middleware/authorizeResource; Symfony IsGranted, Security, security.yaml access_control; Tornado authenticated; names listed in the facts headers
    • Done when tests/test_obligation_enforcement.py shows a guarded Laravel route, a Symfony attribute and a Tornado decorator each produce one witness that OrderDominance accepts for the handler's operation
    • Requirements: 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6
    • Boundary: obligations.enforcement
  • 3.2 Operation and discharger rows for the pool's shapes in ruleset/obligations/{java,php,python,typescript}.toml (P)

    • Java: credential lookups and outbound connection tests in doTestConnection-style handlers, item reads and writes, checkPermission/checkAnyPermission as path guards, hasPermission as ownership check; Remix: session requirements as path guards, record reads by request id as protected reads needing ownership_check; Tornado: handler open/get as entries needing path_guard; Jetty service start as privileged action. Every name checked in the clones or documentation, said in the header
    • Done when tests/test_obligation_facts.py loads the files and one operation and one discharger per language resolve
    • Requirements: 2.3, 2.4, 2.7
    • Boundary: ruleset/obligations
  • 4. The prover

  • 4.1 hunt/prover.py: prove_change over the hunter Context, Coverage, findings as hunt defects

    • Touched functions from head lines, build output left out, targets include direct callees holding operations, IRs of hop files passed to the checker, extra witnesses from enforcement, coverage counts by reason, no model
    • Done when tests/test_hunt_prover.py shows: an unguarded Stapler handler calling lookupCredentials gives one finding with entry, hops and missing path_guard; a checkPermission above the call gives none; a guarded Laravel route gives none; an unrecognised framework gives coverage only; the finding dict has path, line, family, function, evidence, id
    • Requirements: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 6.2, 7.1, 8.1, 8.2
    • Depends: 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2
  • 5. The arm

  • 5.1 benchmarks/valid/prover_arm.py: run over a pool slice with checkpoints, summarise with the valid metrics

    • Record envelope copied from hunter_arm; instrument fields; resume; summary.json with recall (pushes and locations, Wilson), false alarms per 100, precision, instrument failures, seconds per change and the list over 120 s, per-repository and per-framework coverage, uncovered repositories; refuse on zero-byte reads
    • Done when tests/test_prover_arm.py runs a two-change fixture pool end to end and the summary carries every field above; a record with zero bytes read makes summarize refuse
    • Requirements: 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.1, 7.2
    • Depends: 4.1
  • 6. Measurement (maintainer, not Codex)

  • 6.1 Run the arm on benchmarks/valid/train/pool-train.toml over the training clones; write benchmarks/measurements/<date>-access-control-prover/ with NOTES, summary, coverage table; compare with the DSPy and hunter arms of the same pool

    • Requirements: 5.2, 5.3, 7.2
