Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5 c1191b3a6b feat(model): an access-control finding names a line, and what the PDG does not give us
contributor-scan 2.7. Taint and config verdicts have always carried a
`path:line:function` location; dominance never did, so every
access-control finding reached a contributor as
`api_views/users.py:?:update_password` -- the right file by accident,
because the region was asked about that file, and no line at all. The
query now reports the operation's file and the verdict carries the
location, with an engine that cannot report one getting no location rather
than an invented one.

Two questions answered by measurement while doing it.

**Does this factor in the PDG?** The data half, centrally: `reachableByFlows`
is the entire taint arbiter and `joern-parse` applies the `dataflowOss`
overlay. The control half, not at all -- and it is not available to us.
Measured: 0 of 13,184 calls in the libpng CPG and 0 of 1,152 in the vampi
CPG have a controlling control structure, so `controlledBy` returns nothing
in either. Everything guard-shaped therefore runs on CFG dominance or on
syntactic conditions, which is exactly why 2.12's first attempt failed:
libpng's bound reaches its sink through an `error` flag, and that is a
control-dependence fact and nothing else. Recorded as 2.14, including the
possibility that it cannot be enabled -- which would bound what guard
reasoning this engine can ever do.

**Would checking out a vulnerable libpng find a known CVE?** No, and not
because of the version. Every one of the twelve files using
`strcpy`/`strcat`/`sprintf`/`gets` is under `contrib/`; the library itself
uses none of them. libpng overflows through array and pointer arithmetic
and `memcpy` sizing, and five of its buffer-overflow fixes touch no
modelled sink at all. Pinning an older commit would produce the same
silence for the same reason.

That leaves two routes of very different size, recorded as 2.15: pin a C
project whose CVE genuinely runs through a string function, which is cheap
and would give the memory family its first true positive; or model how C
actually overflows, which is size arithmetic rather than sink matching and
should not be started by accident.

"""model-grounded-detection task 4.1: guard dominance, the arbiter for bugs that never crash (Req 6.2).
An access-control bug is the *absence* of a guard, so there is no flow to follow and no crash to reproduce.
What the model can establish is a consistency violation: an obligated operation that no discharging guard
dominates, in a file where its siblings are dominated by one. That asymmetry is the evidence.
This replaces the line-order heuristic in `semantic/obligations/dominance.py` ("the guard's line is before the
operation's line, with an early exit between") with real control-flow dominance over the CFG.
