Summary

  • stream exact-tree git cat-file --batch output instead of materializing the aggregate response;
  • detect machine-local path tokens across bounded byte reads, UTF-8 decoder boundaries, and whitespace token boundaries;
  • preserve exact object identity, binary and symlink inspection, duplicate-object path expansion, and deterministic ordering;
  • fail closed on malformed headers, unsafe sizes, truncation, trailing data, spawn failure, nonzero Git exit, and a validated 120-second batch deadline;
  • raise the coverage ratchet from 92.99% to 93.02% through the owning coverage command.

Closes #840.

Validation

  • Hosted Node 22, Bun, Deno, coverage-threshold, performance, release-preflight, link, audit-advisory, generated-SDK, and all type-firewall lanes pass on a75e0ea3e.
  • The complete local stable suite passes 7,291 tests with 2 intentional skips.
  • Four focused test files pass 37 tests.
  • New scanner and deadline modules have 100% statement, branch, function, and line coverage; changed guard lines have 100% coverage.
  • Local lint, typecheck, policy, documentation, quarantine-graduation, link, and publication-surface gates pass.
  • Both actionable CodeRabbit threads are fixed and resolved; the follow-up review status is rate limited.

Architecture scorecard

  • Runtime-backed concepts: validated and frozen GitBatchReadWindow and GitBatchScanDeadline; stateful streaming scanner classes.
  • Boundary validation: exact Git batch framing, object identity, type, size, delimiter, terminal-state, and process-deadline checks.
  • Behavior ownership: byte protocol and path-token state machines own their transitions.
  • Ambient capabilities: no wall clock, entropy, network, or persistence construction enters domain code.
  • Type integrity: no any, unknown, assertions, placeholder *Like shapes, or suppression expansion.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added more reliable scanning of committed files for machine-local paths, including POSIX and Windows formats.
    • Detection now works across read boundaries, binary content, empty files, and symbolic links.
    • Added bounded processing for large Git objects to improve resource control.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Malformed, truncated, inconsistent, or failed repository data is now handled safely with fail-closed validation.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the changelog with the latest scanning behavior and validation improvements.

Walkthrough

The change adds bounded asynchronous Git blob inspection, incremental machine-local path scanning, fail-closed batch validation, and process cleanup. Exact-tree scanning now returns a promise and supports detections across read-window boundaries.

Changes

Bounded Git scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Incremental path detection
scripts/MachineLocalPathStreamScanner.ts, scripts/MachineLocalPathPolicy.ts, test/unit/scripts/machine-local-path-policy.test.ts
MachineLocalPathPolicy now delegates to a UTF-8 stream scanner. The scanner detects POSIX and Windows path prefixes across chunks, finalizes pending candidates, and rejects writes after completion.
Bounded batch blob processing
scripts/GitBatchReadWindow.ts, scripts/GitBatchBlobStreamScanner.ts, test/unit/scripts/git-batch-blob-stream-scanner.test.ts
Git batch output is parsed incrementally within a positive safe-integer read window. Header, identity, size, truncation, delimiter, and trailing-data validation fail closed.
Asynchronous tree guard integration
scripts/GitMachineLocalPathGuard.ts, scripts/check-machine-local-paths.ts, test/unit/scripts/git-machine-local-path-guard.test.ts, test/unit/scripts/git-machine-local-path-guard-process.test.ts, CHANGELOG.md, vitest.config.ts
Exact-tree scanning now spawns git cat-file --batch, awaits asynchronous results, cleans up the child process, and reports failures. Tests cover bounded reads, empty trees, binary blobs, symlinks, split detections, and process errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 42172

The scan can miss machine-local paths when they are followed by whitespace and can wait indefinitely if the Git child process leaves its output open. These bounded correctness and availability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

A rabbit streams bytes through the burrow so neat,
Small windows inspect every blob that they meet.
Across chunked-up paths, forbidden signs show,
Bad Git output makes the scanner say no.
The guard waits, cleans up, and reports paths just right.

the scan to fail closed with a reported error. Preserve the existing normal
