1. gossamer (Gleam/Rust/Idris2 — window manager) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/gossamer/src - Key
findings: 23 weak points detected in Idris2 ABI layer. Recommended
attack axes: Concurrency, Disk, Memory, Cpu. Highest weak point density
in formal verification files.
2. protocol-squisher (Rust — shape-ir crate) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/protocol-squisher/crates/shape-ir/src
- Key findings: 5 weak points in core shape IR library. Memory and Disk
attack axes recommended. Clean crate with minimal attack surface.
3. burble (Elixir/ReScript/Idris2 — WebRTC comms) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/developer-ecosystem/burble/src
- Key findings: 2 weak points detected. Minimal attack surface in the
Idris2 ABI layer. Memory and Cpu axes only.
4. stapeln (Idris2/Zig — container orchestration) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/fleet-ecosystem/stapeln/ffi/zig/src
- Key findings: Zero weak points in Zig FFI layer. Only Cpu axis
recommended. Demonstrates Zig’s safety properties.
5. boj-server (ReScript/Deno/Idris2 — MCP server) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/boj-server/src - Key
findings: 5 weak points in Idris2 ABI layer (SafeHTTP, SafeCORS, etc.).
Cpu and Memory axes recommended.
6. standards (Rust — k9-svc LSP) - Command:
panic-attack assail /var/mnt/eclipse/repos/developer-ecosystem/standards/k9-svc/lsp/src
- Key findings: 1 weak point in LSP server. Disk, Cpu, Memory axes
recommended. Very clean codebase.

benches/scan_bench.rs — language detect, family classify, self-scan, taint analysis, rule eval, location extract, stats calc |
Total test count: 116 (lib) + 14 (P2P) + 12 (E2E) + 18 (Aspect) + 3 (Integration) + 12 (Pattern) + 22 (Readiness) + 10 (Types) + 8 (Regression) + 11 (Report) + 7 (Panll) + 6 (Assemblyline) + 16 (SARIF) = 202+ tests passing
Fake fuzz alert resolved: Removed tests/fuzz/placeholder.txt
(scorecard placeholder).
-
✓ Language detection: idempotent, all languages have valid families
-
✓ Weak point location validity: must be present or explicitly None
-
✓ Pattern matching: no false positives on comments, proper detection of actual code constructs
-
✓ Report statistics: consistency (metrics don’t exceed total lines)
-
✓ Kanren logic engine: unification symmetry, forward chaining preservation, fact DB integrity
-
✓ Error recovery: empty input, long file names, Unicode content
-
✓ Self-scan (dogfooding): Scan panic-attack’s own source code — detects issues, all weak points have locations
-
✓ Full analysis pipeline: File → Language detection → Rules → Report generation
-
✓ Vulnerable examples: Scan examples/vulnerable_program.rs, examples/attack_harness.rs
-
✓ Report serialization: JSON and YAML output validation
-
✓ Deterministic analysis: Same input produces same output
-
✓ Directory vs file consistency: Aggregate reports match component scans
-
✓ Multi-language: Python file scanning (if fixtures exist)
-
Error Handling:
-
✓ Malformed Rust code (unclosed braces)
-
✓ Deeply nested code (100 levels) — no stack overflow
-
✓ Very long lines (10K+ chars) — no regex engine DoS
-
✓ Mixed line endings (LF/CRLF/CR)
-
✓ NUL bytes in source files
-
✓ UTF-8 BOM handling
-
✓ Empty files and whitespace-only files
-
✓ Permission denied files (Unix)
-
✓ Binary files in scan path (skipped correctly)
-
-
Performance Scaling:
-
✓ File count scaling: 1 → 5 → 10 files, times remain reasonable (<5s for 10 small files)
-
✓ Memory bounded: Large files (1000+ lines) analyzed without excessive allocation
-
✓ Parallel analysis: rayon-based concurrent scanning is thread-safe
-
-
Security Evasion (Critical for security tools):
-
✓ Comment evasion:
// unwrap()in comments not flagged as code -
✓ String evasion: Code in strings (eval, base64 etc.) not executed, patterns still detected
-
✓ Encoding evasion resilience: Base64-encoded patterns don’t bypass actual code detection
-
-
✓ Language detection speed: 18 file extensions
-
✓ Language family classification: 12 languages
-
✓ Self-scan: panic-attack source analysis (dogfooding)
-
✓ Taint analysis: TaintAnalyzer sources iteration
-
✓ Rule evaluation: 4 languages in sequence
-
✓ Location extraction: 100 weak points
-
✓ Statistics calculation: Field access throughput

Fake fuzz removed:
tests/fuzz/placeholder.txtwas inherited from template, contained no real fuzz logic -
Proptest added: v1.4 dev-dependency for future advanced property testing
-
Self-scan is highest value: E2E test that verifies tool works on real codebase (itself)
-
Security tests critical: Verified that comment/string/encoding evasion attempts don’t bypass detection
-
All tests passing:
cargo test+cargo bench --no-runboth succeed -
Zero compiler warnings in release builds maintained
