Uses the bounded summary API from git-pkgs/sarif#10 to detect committed SARIF files through repository history. Records tools, effective levels, baselines, rules, suppressions, and CWE taxa with their names and categories.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Repository scans now detect stored SARIF reports and summarize tools, result levels, rules, baselines, suppressions, and CWE classifications.
    • Summaries include document totals and tool versions. Invalid SARIF files are reported as candidates, and processing limits are indicated when summaries are truncated. Test, example, and bundled or derived paths are excluded from SARIF scanning.
  • Documentation
    • Updated scanning guidance to describe SARIF summaries, processing limits, and path exclusions; clarify that test paths remain eligible for fuzzing; and include license files among those checked for binary classification.

Walkthrough

Repository scans now inspect eligible SARIF files and emit bounded document, tool, result, rule, suppression, and CWE summary signals. SARIF signals participate in repository-file cleanup and replacement. Tests and README documentation cover the scanning behavior.

Changes: SARIF repository signals

Layer / File(s) Summary
SARIF discovery and scan integration
detector.go, go.mod, repository_files.go
The structured-file scan routes .sarif and .sarif.json files to SARIF inspection. It excludes paths classified as bundled or derived, tests, or examples. Inspection limits are 16 MiB, 5,000 unique values, and 100 tools. SARIF signals participate in repository-file cleanup and replacement.
SARIF summaries and validation
repository_files.go, repository_files_test.go, README.md
SARIF summaries include document totals, tool versions, and sorted counts for levels, baselines, rules, taxa, and suppressions. Recognized CWE taxa produce weakness and category counts. Invalid input produces an invalid candidate. Limit errors or truncation add a truncated coverage signal. Tests cover summary signals, exclusions, truncation, and repository log output. The README describes the summaries, parsing limits, and path exclusions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review de4f0

SARIF summaries can report CWE weaknesses that are not in the report, and can omit taxa the report does declare. This affects the accuracy of the new signals, not the stability of scanning. Fix the summary library and pin the corrected version, or accept the limitations, before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to de4f0

The new processing is confined to repository analysis and produces descriptive metadata rather than granting permissions or executing report content. Per-file limits and explicit invalid or truncated results reduce exposure. Aggregate resource use across large repository histories remains an uncertainty.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A repository author can influence eligible SARIF inputs throughout the analyzed history and therefore affect metadata and resource consumption in that scan process. The inspected flow does not establish a tenant-wide, service-wide, or privileged execution outcome.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The inspected parser consumes an io.Reader using JSON decoding, with no filesystem, network, or subprocess API. The production Git-tree filesystem opens blob objects, validates tree-relative paths, and does not follow symlinks. SARIF content therefore does not acquire external-resource authority through this parsing path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Malformed SARIF is converted into an invalid candidate without publishing partial document summaries. Byte-limit errors or collection truncation produce an explicit truncated coverage signal. Report-derived names and counts remain descriptive input, not authenticated evidence about repository security.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — On an underlying read or close failure, repository scanning retains cloned parent signals and records a detector error; a subsequent commit forces a full retry. This failure-state model predates the PR. Ordinary SARIF syntax errors are handled as replacement candidates instead, so they do not create the stale-parent-state condition suggested by the initial uncertainty.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For deployments that analyze untrusted repositories, consider scan-wide memory and output budgets plus cancellation-aware parsing, complementing the existing per-file limits. This is a containment proposal, not a verified resource-exhaustion finding.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Detect committed SARIF history" matches the main change. The PR adds SARIF detection in repository history: repository_files.go routes structured-file inspection through repositoryStructuredSignals, which scans eligible SARIF files and emits document, tool, level, baseline, rule, taxa, and suppression signals. The title is short, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms, so a teammate scanning history can identify the primary change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

164-164: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Document that SARIF detection skips test and example paths.

sarifFilePath returns false for paths that roles.Match labels as bundled, derived, test, or example. The test at repository_files_test.go line 177 confirms that testdata/results.sarif produces no signals.

This line says "Test paths remain eligible because fuzz targets commonly use them". A reader can apply that sentence to SARIF files and expect signals from test paths.

Add one sentence that states the SARIF exclusion.
