feat(u7): scan audit mode — argus scan <path> (#150) - #173
Conversation
#150) Walks the tree via scanRepo's content-policy walk (dotfiles, VCS internals, lockfiles, binaries excluded), synthesizes a new-file unified diff, and runs the U8 deterministic rules lane over it — secrets included, $0 by default. --base <ref> audits a git range instead; --model unions model findings under the same exclusion contract plus credential-shaped paths (.env, *.pem/key, id_*, credentials.*, secrets.*), which never reach model context. Report is a standalone scan-report.json — deliberately not CodeReviewReport (PR-shaped) or the run manifest. Lane failures degrade to a `skipped` section and the partial report still writes; scan root prints before any model call.

…dential coverage
- synthesizeTreeDiff: skip paths with line terminators (\n\r U+2028/9) —
a hostile filename could splice fake diff headers and reattribute +
lines to suppress findings (P1 evasion class, same family as the U8
gitconfig evasion).
- scan walk: opt credential-shaped dotfiles (.env, .netrc, .npmrc,
.pypirc, .pgpass, .git-credentials) back in so the secrets lane sees
the most common committed-secret carriers; dot-DIRS stay excluded.
- Model contexts via buildReviewContext (sanitizes repo-controlled
purposes) instead of raw purpose text; scan prompt gains the
unverified-context disclaimer + test-file/data guardrails.
- CREDENTIAL_PATH_RE: prefix-tolerant credential/secret names, more
key-container extensions (p8/ppk/asc/gpg/keytab/kdbx/env), backup
suffixes (foo.pem.bak), bare basenames (credentials, htpasswd,
shadow), client_secret*/service-account* JSON.
- --base: exclude report dir + cache dir from the untracked fold-in.
- git diff invocations pin --no-ext-diff so a scanned repo's
diff.external / GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF never executes.
- runRules gets decisionClient/decisionModel under --model so secrets
adjudication runs at parity with code-review.
- secretsScan reports {skipped: reason} on lane throw; model summary
gains chunksPlanned/reviewed and dropped counts.
- Zero-scanned-file synthesis errors instead of passing silently;
synthesized diff capped at 64MB total.

📝 SummaryWhat changed
RiskMedium. The main risk is sensitive file content: the local secrets lane reads credential-shaped dotfiles, and No changes to auth, RLS, tenant isolation, billing, voice, CRM, landing, or production data writes are described. The command writes a local report; model use can incur API spend. Rollback is to revert the scan command and its supporting code. No migration or production data rollback is indicated. Technical details
Changed areas
WalkthroughThe CLI adds tree and Git-diff scanning with deterministic and secrets checks, optional model review, and a JSON report. Diff generation skips unsafe paths and bounded or unreadable files. Git diff commands disable external diff drivers. ChangesRepository Scanning

model cost and, after at least one reviewed chunk, project the next chunk’s cost
using the mean of prior chunk costs. Stop and set budgetExceeded when recorded
spend has reached the budget or adding that projected cost would exceed it;
preserve the current behavior for the first chunk.
Review comments at @src/index/scan.ts:
- Around line 190-196: Enforce SCAN_DIFF_CAP_BYTES in the serialized result loop
before adding a fulfilled section to parts: skip and count any section that
would push totalBytes over the cap, and update totalBytes only for sections that
are included. Keep the existing handling for fulfilled skipped results.

…budget projection - SCAN_USAGE now says credential dotfiles ARE scanned locally (the walk opt-in made the old 'dotfiles excluded' line false). - Synthesized-diff cap: sections produced after the cap is crossed are counted filesSkipped in the result loop — the pre-read check races its whole 64-file batch. - Model budget check projects the next chunk's cost from the mean of reviewed chunks (code-review's convention) instead of only checking current spend; secrets decide() calls remain unprojected, documented.

| **Synthesized diffs can be header-injected from filenames.** `synthesizeTreeDiff` interpolated `e.path` raw into `diff --git a/X b/X` and `+++ b/X` — a POSIX-legal filename containing `\n`, `\r`, U+2028, or U+2029 splits a header into attacker-chosen diff lines, reattributing the file's `+` lines to a path that earns suppression (e.g. `+++ b/docs/x.md` hits `DATA_PATH_RE`) or truncating the file's scanned surface. Git C-quotes such paths when it emits diffs; emitting raw reintroduces the hole the quoted-header parser just closed. The synthesizer now skips paths matching `/[\n\r\u2028\u2029]/` and counts them in `filesSkipped`. | ||
|
|
||
| The audit rule generalizes: **any diff the tool parses — whether git emits it or the tool synthesizes it — must have its path-header schema defended on both sides.** Producers pin config; synthesizers reject unquotable paths; parsers accept quoted forms. | ||
