• Improvements
  • Source scanning now skips files that are 150 bytes or smaller when collecting knowledge-base hashes, reducing unnecessary processing.
  • Files with an existing download location are also excluded from knowledge-base hash collection.
  • Hash checks are cached after completion, including when no hash is found, avoiding repeated checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The source scanner adds a 150-byte threshold for small-file filtering. KB hash collection skips small files and files with download locations. SCANOSS is configured to skip files at or below the threshold.

Changes

Small-file filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define the threshold and configure SCANOSS src/fosslight_source/_exclude.py, src/fosslight_source/run_scanoss.py, src/fosslight_source/_help.py	Adds a 150-byte threshold and a file-size helper. SCANOSS receives a skip size of 151 bytes. The help text removes a blank line before the Examples section.
Skip ineligible files during KB processing src/fosslight_source/_scan_item.py, src/fosslight_source/cli.py	KB hash collection skips files with download locations and files at or below 150 bytes. SourceItem caches an unchecked KB hash separately from an empty hash result.

Merge Risk | ⚪ Minimal · up to f2ad8

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f2ad8

No actionable merge-blocking risk is established. The only identified eligibility race depends on concurrent pathname changes outside the inspected scanner lifecycle.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f2ad8

The change intentionally reduces evidence collection for very small files. Cache state remains per file, and the inspected changes do not introduce additional privileges or a new trust boundary. The external scanner’s exact cutoff behavior remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed exposure is source-file eligibility and downstream origin attribution within scans using this package. Source bytes and size influence whether a KB candidate is submitted. The inspected changes do not add endpoint selection, credential authority, or tenant routing.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Hashing continues to resolve source paths and read files using the scanning process’s filesystem privileges. The unchanged hashing method accepts absolute paths; the new size predicate is an eligibility decision, not path confinement or authorization. A size-read OSError returns False and permits the existing hashing attempt.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The inspected transition is per-item and in memory, rather than a shared persistent-state migration. Empty hashes cannot select another file’s KB origin, and normal collection and attribution execute sequentially. Reusing or concurrently mutating a SourceItem outside that flow is not established as a supported lifecycle.
