From ccb722f5c775588721bb1ed4b0ba43219e5b06ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "github-actions[bot]" Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 15:59:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] security(codeql): suppress py/unsafe-cyclic-import on simulation triple (closes #215) The `py/unsafe-cyclic-import` rule walks `if TYPE_CHECKING:` blocks for cycle detection, which makes it fire on the deliberate static-only cycle in strands_robots/simulation/{base,policy_runner,benchmark}.py. PR #209 exhausted its round budget attempting to satisfy the rule via code surgery and confirmed the constraint conflict between mypy's name-resolution requirement and CodeQL's AST-walk is not solvable in this file shape. This change is the Option A path documented in PR #209 S13/R6: a documented false-positive suppression delivered as repo-level CodeQL config rather than further code churn. Why the runtime is safe: - Every affected file uses `from __future__ import annotations` (PEP 563), so all type hints are string-form at runtime and are never resolved at module-import time. - The cycle is structurally required: policy_runner needs to call into the SimEngine ABC defined in base, while base must advertise PolicyRunner- typed return values to static checkers. Both conditions can hold only if the cycle is closed under TYPE_CHECKING (= AST-only, runtime-free). - Pin tests guard the runtime invariant independently of CodeQL: - tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py spawns a fresh interpreter for each affected module and asserts each imports cleanly with no recursion error. - tests/simulation/test_no_import_cycle.py::test_no_runtime_import_cycles builds the runtime import graph (excluding TYPE_CHECKING edges) via networkx.simple_cycles and asserts it is acyclic. Why a global suppression rather than path-scoped: CodeQL's `query-filters` keys filter by `id` / `tags` / `precision` only; path-scoped exclusion of a single query is not supported (the only path-aware key is `paths-ignore`, which excludes a file from all queries - too broad). The simulation triple is the only place this query fires in the repo today, so a global exclude is equivalent in effect and keeps the config small. A future contributor introducing a new legitimate violation in unrelated code should drop this suppression and fix the new cycle properly; the regression tests above will fail loudly if anyone hoists a lazy import to module scope and re-creates the runtime cycle.

README.md cited a non-existent `_lazy_policy_runner()` shim as the runtime-safety mechanism. The real mechanism is the asymmetric edge: base.py:50 imports PolicyRunner / VideoConfig at module level (the runtime edge), but policy_runner.py:51-54 imports SimEngine / BenchmarkProtocol / Policy from base only under TYPE_CHECKING -- there is no runtime back-edge, so the cycle never closes at import time. PEP 563 is additional belt-and-braces, not the load-bearing argument. README rewritten to spell out the asymmetric-edge mechanism with file and line references. 2. README.md and config.yml both referenced `tests/simulation/ test_no_cyclic_imports.py` as a regression pin. That test did not exist; only `test_no_import_cycle.py` was present. Per the review thread's recommendation (add the test rather than remove the reference), the new file ships in this commit -- a fresh-interpreter subprocess import smoke-check that is genuinely complementary to the existing AST-graph cycle scan. It catches dynamic-import failure modes (partial-module ImportError on combined import order) that the static graph would miss. 3. config.yml inline comment was self-contradicting: it claimed both that future unrelated alerts would 'still appear in the Security tab' and that the filter 'only suppresses the alert surfacing'. Both cannot be true -- query-filters: exclude removes matching alerts from SARIF entirely. The README's 'Why a global suppression' section already had the honest framing; config.yml is now aligned with it (cost: future legitimate violations in unrelated code are silently suppressed too; mitigation: pin tests guard runtime independent of CodeQL, and a future contributor should drop this filter rather than extend it). Bonus: base.py breadcrumb (raised on review thread #4) tightened to match. Previously leaned on PEP 563 as the safety argument; now spells out the asymmetric edge with an explicit do-NOT-hoist instruction ('Do NOT hoist the TYPE_CHECKING import in policy_runner.py to module scope') and the exact ImportError shape that hoisting produces. PEP 563 is correctly demoted to belt-and-braces. Pre-fix verification of the new pin (AGENTS.md S0 mandatory pin-on-pre-fix round-trip): $ # Hoist policy_runner.py's SimEngine import out of TYPE_CHECKING $ # (the precise regression shape the pin exists to catch) $ python -m pytest tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py -v 4 failed -- ImportError: cannot import name 'SimEngine' from partially initialized module ... $ # Restore $ python -m pytest tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py -v 4 passed Post-fix full simulation suite: 235 passed, 43 skipped (optional deps absent on local). No production code touched -- doc + breadcrumb + new pin only. Out of scope (deferred per AGENTS.md scope discipline): - Action SHA-pinning of codeql-advanced.yml (review thread #5, explicitly marked as 'out-of-scope nit ... worth a follow-up issue on the project board' in the review). Will land as a separate follow-up issue, not this PR.

Substring match on "ImportError" / "RecursionError" was too loose: any benign log line, deprecation warning, or docstring snippet that mentioned those substrings (e.g. an optional-dep warning saying "...will raise ImportError on Python 3.13...") would have failed the pin even though the import succeeded. Replaced both substring asserts with a single MULTILINE regex anchored on the start-of-line `ExceptionName:` framing that Python emits for an uncaught traceback. Also extended the same check to the test_full_triple_imports_in_one_process case, which previously had no traceback assertion at all. 2. _subprocess_env() built PYTHONPATH as " + os.pathsep + env.get('PYTHONPATH', '')" which produced a trailing pathsep when the parent had no PYTHONPATH set (the common CI case). POSIX interprets a trailing or interior empty pathsep entry as the current working directory, silently injecting `.` into the child's sys.path -- defeating the documented "propagate sys.path, nothing else" intent and masking regressions where a module is only importable because cwd happens to contain it. Switched to building an explicit list and only appending the inherited PYTHONPATH if non-empty. All 4 tests in tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py pass on this checkout. No behaviour change to the import-graph invariant itself; this commit only tightens what the pin actually pins.

The interaction between workflow-level `queries:` (security-and-quality in codeql.yml) and config-file `query-filters` is subtle: a workflow `queries:` value replaces a config-file `queries:` value unless prefixed with `+`, while `query-filters` always layer on top. Added an explicit "Query suite vs config-file interaction" section confirming the active suite is the workflow-selected one and the config layers `query-filters` on top -- saves the next reader a round-trip to the CodeQL Action docs and pins the assumption for any future contributor who adds `queries:` to config.yml. 2. The documented assumption that the simulation triple is the only file shape firing this rule today drifts silently as the codebase grows. Added a "Periodic audit reminder" subsection with a reproducible CodeQL CLI recipe (drop the exclude, run UnsafeCyclicImport.ql locally, inspect SARIF for results outside the triple). Cadence guidance: every minor release or every six months, whichever is sooner. Also folded the regex-anchored traceback shape from the prior commit into the regression-contract bullet so the README stays consistent with what the pin actually asserts. No behaviour change.

Out of scope items deferred per AGENTS.md round budget (R3 is the cap on this PR -- see PR description Pre-push checklist). 1. PYTHONPATH internal-empties filter (tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py): The R2 fix only filtered the *fully-empty* inherited PYTHONPATH case ("" -> trailing pathsep -> cwd injection). Inherited values with internal empties (":foo", "foo:", "foo::bar") still leaked through because the filter appended the inherited string verbatim. Now: split the inherited value on os.pathsep and filter empty entries individually before extending parts. Verified with synthetic PYTHONPATH="foo::bar:baz::" -> no empty entries in the joined result. The R2 docstring already promised "leading, trailing, or interior empty pathsep entry" coverage, so this brings the implementation in line with the documented contract. 2. Cite by symbol, not by line number (.github/codeql/README.md): The R2 README cited base.py:50 / policy_runner.py:51-54 / benchmark.py:46-47 as the locations of the cycle's runtime and TYPE_CHECKING edges. The R0 breadcrumbs landed in this same PR shifted those line numbers (base.py:50 is now the actual import at :66; the others moved by similar small amounts). Hard-coded line numbers in long-lived rationale comments are a maintenance liability -- any future edit above the import silently invalidates the citation. Now: cite by the import's *symbol shape* (the top-level "from ... import PolicyRunner, VideoConfig" statement and the "if TYPE_CHECKING:" blocks). The same edits to the References section preserve the historical alert line numbers (#85, #86, #87 raised against benchmark.py:42 / policy_runner.py:49-50 at the SHA when the alerts were filed) but reframe them explicitly as point-in-time historical markers, not current-tree citations. Out of scope (deferred): - Workflow major-version inconsistency between codeql.yml (v3.29.4 SHA-pinned) and codeql-advanced.yml (floating @v4): tracked in #217. That issue covered SHA pinning; updating it to also resolve the major-version drift is the right home for the unified fix. - Stale Note (#191) framing in base.py: the suppression note now framing-overlaps with the existing comment block. Out of scope for this PR since the existing comment is correct as a runtime-cycle explainer; the new comment correctly frames CodeQL. A follow-up that consolidates them belongs in a docs cleanup PR. - CI enforcement that the suppression stays narrow: noted in README (the manual periodic-audit recipe added in R2). A CI step is the right long-run shape but out of scope for this config-only PR. Verification: - pytest tests/simulation/test_no_cyclic_imports.py -v --no-cov: 4 passed - ruff check + ruff format --check on the touched test file: clean - grep -nP '[^\x00-\x7F]' on touched files: no non-ASCII - Synthetic PYTHONPATH='foo::bar:baz::' check: no empty entries leak Pin contract preserved: the R2 traceback regex (anchored on start-of-line ExceptionName: framing) is unchanged. The R3 PYTHONPATH change tightens the hygiene of the subprocess env without weakening the failure-detection shape. Closes review thread on PYTHONPATH internal-empty leak. Closes review thread on line-number drift in README citations.

Replace with a symbol-based reference (the 'queries listed here will override any specified in a config file' comment block) so future edits above the import don't silently invalidate the pointer.
