FLPATH-5076: Enforce dynamic abstention and profile guards - #4
Centralize open-world dynamic certainty guards for reflection, dynamic aliases, and proxy dispatch evidence.
Abstain framework dynamic facts before provider identity linking, preventing definite promotion or misleading links while preserving bounded framework proxy certainty.
Preserve source-root fingerprints in serialized run metadata alongside selected profile, analysis scope, generated roots, provenance, and limitations.
Add negative regressions for provider/framework overclaims and metadata serialization.
Validation
make adapter-test — 47 tests passed.
make adapter-package — passed.
Focused dynamic/context/SootUp tests — 6 passed.
git diff --check — passed.
Scope exclusions
No changes to FLPATH-5074 or FLPATH-5075 scope.
FLPATH-5077 and FLPATH-5078 remain separate.
FLPATH-5082 / SCIP integration is not included.
Full reflection/proxy target resolution and durable Quarkus VPE profile creation remain out of scope.
The sibling spring-boot-example-application checkout was not modified.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Analysis results now treat reflection- and dynamic-proxy-based framework relationships as unresolved when available evidence cannot confirm them, and include source-root details in run metadata.
Improvements
Java quality checks now report new and resolved findings and can block CI when new findings are detected.
Documentation
Added guidance on Java quality checks, reports, and baseline findings.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The pull request adds abstention for open-world dynamic facts, source-root metadata serialization, and a PMD/CPD lint gate with baseline validation and CI integration. It also updates framework fact construction, source scanning helpers, and exception handling.
Changes: Dynamic Certainty Handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Classify and abstain from open-world facts src/main/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/DynamicCertaintyPolicy.java, SemanticCallFacts.java, ProviderFactNormalizer.java, BoundedFrameworkModel.java
A shared policy classifies open-world provider relationships and framework facts. Framework fact construction uses FrameworkInput. Provider normalization uses the shared policy, and dynamic abstention clears derived provider links.
Guard framework identity and links src/main/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/JavaAnalysisAdapter.java, src/test/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/DynamicCertaintyGuardTest.java
The adapter abstains from open-world framework facts before provider identity matching and skips enrichment links for those facts. Tests cover dynamic facts, provider relationship aliases, and bounded proxies.
Source Root Metadata
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Capture and serialize source roots src/main/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/SemanticCallFacts.java, SemanticCallFactsJsonWriter.java, src/test/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/JavaAnalysisAdapterTest.java
RunMetadata captures regular and generated source roots through a factory. JSON output includes regular source roots. Tests check fingerprints, serialized output, metadata equality, and root-list immutability.
Java Lint Gate
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configure lint rules and baseline pom.xml, config/pmd-production.xml, config/java-lint-baseline.json, tools/java-lint-maven-plugin/pom.xml
The Maven configuration adds PMD 7.17.0 and production rules. The baseline records 53 PMD findings and no CPD findings. The plugin project defines its Maven build and dependencies.
Normalize, compare, and validate reports tools/java-lint-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/projectlightpath/javalint/*, tools/java-lint-maven-plugin/src/test/java/org/projectlightpath/javalint/*
The validator fingerprints PMD and CPD findings, compares them with the baseline, checks configuration and report metadata, and supports enforced and report-only modes. The Maven goal invokes validation. Tests cover fingerprints and comparison behavior.
Wire lint commands and CI Makefile, .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/adapter-tests.yml, README.md, docs/java-lint.md, .gitignore
Makefile targets run lint tests and validation. CI runs adapter tests and lint, then uploads available reports. The README and lint documentation describe the commands and checks. The former adapter-test workflow is removed.
Injection-fact construction uses a request record. Legacy injection ID selection is delegated to a helper, and the requested-qualifier helper is renamed.
Share source lookup and parsing helpers src/main/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/SourceMetadataScanner.java
Source-type lookup and balanced splitting use shared helpers. File reading is extracted into a helper, and separate lookup and scanning helpers are removed.
Narrow exception handling and clarify APIs src/main/java/com/projectlightpath/analysis/java/ManualAnalysisMain.java, AnalysisContext.java, FrameworkModels.java, BoundedFrameworkModel.java
ManualAnalysisMain narrows its catch clause. AnalysisContext and FrameworkModels receive descriptive comments. The enrich annotation is repositioned without changing behavior.
The new Java lint gate can pass when PMD reports configuration errors or when PMD settings drift. Reviewers would then trust a check that has not evaluated all rules or all production code. The dynamic-certainty and metadata changes show no surviving defect. Fix the lint validator gaps before relying on this gate for CI enforcement.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 6e20c
The inspected changes strengthen dynamic-analysis safeguards without demonstrating a new privilege escalation or security-control bypass. Remaining uncertainty concerns downstream compatibility and the distribution of newly exported source-root metadata.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The inspected new execution surface is project-controlled build validation on a CI runner. Compared with the former workflow, pull-request triggers and contents:read permissions are retained. No additional repository-write or deployment authority is established by the workflow change.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The Maven entrypoint supplies the project base directory, and validation reads fixed relative configuration and report paths. Its XML parser rejects DOCTYPE declarations and disables external entities, external DTD loading, XInclude and entity expansion, constraining external-resource access from influenced report content.
inferred — The lint result is a build-quality decision, not an observed authentication or authorization control. Report-only mode intentionally permits new findings, while detected report/configuration failures remain fatal. No inspected consumer turns a passing result into access to a privileged service or data store.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If semantic-fact documents will be shared outside the build environment, consider a portable export mode that omits absolute root paths while preserving declared paths and fingerprints. This is a privacy-hardening option, not an observed unauthorized disclosure.

Redundant second abstention call.
analyze already runs enforceDynamicAbstention before attachExactProviderIdentities. The check at Line 72 re-applies the same policy. abstainDynamic() is idempotent, so behavior stays correct. The duplication adds no safety for the current caller. Keep it only if attachExactProviderIdentities must stay safe when called alone. Otherwise remove one of the two guards.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Duplicate relationship-type literals across provider and framework predicates.
The same five relationship strings appear in isOpenWorldProviderRelationship and again in isOpenWorldFrameworkFact. The policy is meant to be central. Two copies can drift apart when someone adds a new alias. Call isOpenWorldProviderRelationship from the framework predicate for the non-proxy_dispatch aliases.

Addressed in 6f6ad26. I retained the guard inside attachExactProviderIdentities because it prevents an abstained dynamic framework fact from being implicitly linked to an ordinary definite provider edge, then removed the duplicate pre-pass. I also centralized the relationship predicate and added Javadocs for the new helpers. Validation: make adapter-test — 47 passed; focused guard/context/SootUp tests — 4 passed.
19-31: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value
Open-world detection for non-proxy facts is wider than the Javadoc states.
For a non-proxy_dispatch fact, isOpenWorldFrameworkFact returns true if any evidence has kind reflection_api or dynamic_proxy_call. This is intentional: it blocks overclaims. The effect is that a framework fact with ordinary relationship type, such as dependency_injection, becomes abstained if one of its evidence entries has one of those kinds. The model rule is not checked in that branch.
The same applies to proxy_dispatch facts that have bounded model rules. They are abstained if any evidence has dynamic kind. The updated test covers only a bounded proxy with bean_scope evidence.
Add a regression test for a bounded proxy_dispatch fact that carries dynamic_proxy_call evidence. This confirms the intended outcome. Also document that evidence kind overrides the model rule.

Add a separate unresolved dynamic fact with a nonblank limitation and withDerivedFrom("provider-id"). Assert that abstainDynamic() clears derivedFrom while retaining UNRESOLVED and ABSTAINED. The current fixture tests the missing-limitation path, but not the preassigned-link path that the guard must clear. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Compare the CPD threshold with the effective Maven setting.
This check compares two values owned by the validator and baseline. It never checks pom.xml. If <minimumTokens> changes from 100 to 200, CPD can omit a new 120-token duplication while both values checked here remain 100. The current CPD baseline is empty, so the gate can pass without a fingerprint change. Read the effective Maven setting or validate a fingerprint of the relevant Maven configuration.
