fix(assail): shell /tmp/ rule ignores comments and reports the line - #291
analyze_shell raised a Medium PathTraversal "Hardcoded /tmp/ path without mktemp" from whole-file substring tests. That fired on /tmp/ that appears only in a # comment (e.g. rsr-template-repo scripts/check-mint-tokens.sh: # In memory, not /tmp/mint-tokens-answers.$$: ...), and the word mktemp anywhere, even in a comment, silenced it.
Change
New helper shell_code_lines returns (line, code) pairs with comments removed. A # is a comment only when unquoted and at a word start (line start or after whitespace). $#, ${#var}, # inside single/double quotes (state carried across lines) are kept. Heredoc bodies (<<, <<-, quoted tags) are kept verbatim as code. Anything doubtful stays code, so the rule still fires.
Both the /tmp/ test and the mktemp test use the stripped code.
The finding now has line: Some(n) (first offending code line).
CHANGELOG.adoc [Unreleased] entry added.
Tests (unit, src/assail/analyzer.rs)
comment-only /tmp/ (no finding); code /tmp/ (finding, correct line); mktemp only in a comment plus /tmp/ in code (finding); mktemp in code (no finding); /tmp/ inside a quoted string (finding); echo "#" /tmp/x (finding); $# / ${#v} not comments (finding); heredoc body kept as code (finding).
Other whole-file rules in analyze_shell (not changed)
These share the same whole-file content.contains pattern and so also match inside comments: chmod 777 / chmod a+w, deno run -A / deno run --allow-all, and the cat /curl /wget I/O counters. The eval rule uses a line-anchored regex but also does not skip comments. They could reuse shell_code_lines in a follow-up.
Known limits
Not a full shell parser: # after ;/( with no preceding space is treated as code (conservative); $'...', backtick and nested $(...) quoting are approximated by simple quote tracking.
The rule matched /tmp/ and mktemp as whole-file substrings, so a /tmp/
mentioned only in a # comment fired, and mktemp in a comment silenced a
real use. Both tests now run over comment-stripped code (quote-, $#-,
${#v}- and heredoc-aware; doubt is treated as code) and the finding
carries the first offending line.

Shell analysis now ignores /tmp/ paths and mktemp references found only in comments, while continuing to check quoted text and heredoc content.
Findings identify the first affected line. A /tmp/ finding is suppressed when mktemp is also present; line numbers are omitted for findings in extracted scripts.
Documentation
Added a changelog entry describing the shell-analysis updates.
Shell analysis now ignores comments when checking for /tmp/ paths and mktemp usage. It preserves quoted and heredoc content, and reports the first offending line. Readiness tests now use Cargo’s CARGO_BIN_EXE_panic-attack variable to locate the executable.
Changes: Shell temporary-path analysis
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Parse shell code lines src/assail/analyzer.rs
Added numbered shell lines that remove unquoted comments while preserving quoted text, parameter-length forms, and heredoc bodies.
Detect temporary paths and validate behaviour src/assail/analyzer.rs, CHANGELOG.adoc
analyze_shell checks parsed code lines, reports the first /tmp/ line when no code line contains mktemp, and clears line numbers for findings from extracted scripts. Tests and the changelog cover these changes.
Readiness test binary path
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Use Cargo-provided binary path tests/readiness.rs, CHANGELOG.adoc
The readiness test helper uses CARGO_BIN_EXE_panic-attack instead of deriving the binary path from current_exe and checking fallback locations. The changelog records this change.
Shell analysis now ignores comments when checking for /tmp/ and mktemp, and it reports the offending line. One rare input can still hide a real /tmp/ use: a # immediately after a multiline quoted word. This is a narrow lint false negative with a one-line fix. The readiness test change is low risk.

Review comments at @src/assail/analyzer.rs:
- Around line 376-378: Update the operator scan in the analyzer so `<<<` is
consumed as a complete here-string operator before heredoc recognition runs.
Ensure scanning resumes after all three characters without queuing a heredoc,
while preserving recognition of `<<` where it is not part of `<<<`.
- Around line 394-401: Update the delimiter scan that populates heredocs to
parse the complete shell-word delimiter after quote removal, rather than
stopping at non-alphanumeric characters; ensure quoted delimiters such as ---
and punctuation-containing delimiters such as EOF-TEXT are queued in full before
heredoc mode begins, preserving the existing body-handling behaviour.
- Around line 374-375: The comment check in the analyzer’s character-scanning
logic uses the previous character, so it misclassifies escaped spaces and shell
operators. Track whether the current position begins an unquoted shell word,
updating that state as characters, escapes, quotes and operators are processed;
treat # as a comment only at an unquoted word boundary, and preserve hashes
within existing words.
- Line 355: Update the quote-scanning logic around the q, c, and i condition to
track ANSI-C strings separately from ordinary double-quoted strings. Within a
$'...' string, treat an escaped single quote as content rather than closing the
string, so # remains part of the string and commands following its actual
closing quote are still scanned.
- Line 4817: Update the embedded-script finding handling in analyze_shell so
findings use no enclosing-file line number; clear the line for those findings
while retaining the block-start information in the description. Leave line
reporting for non-embedded findings unchanged.

Review findings on the shell /tmp rule:
- ANSI-C $'...' strings keep escaped \' (tracked as its own quote state)
- '#' starts a comment only at an unquoted word boundary: not after an
escaped space, but yes after an operator such as ';'
- here-strings (<<<) are consumed whole and never open a heredoc
- heredoc delimiters are parsed whole ('---', EOF-TEXT)
- findings from embedded scripts carry line = None (block-relative lines
would point at unrelated code in the enclosing file)
Each has a unit test.
CI: tests/readiness.rs derived the binary path from current_exe, which
breaks when Cargo places test binaries under build/<pkg>/<hash>/out/
(15 of 21 readiness tests failed; coverage and ledger run the same
tests). Use CARGO_BIN_EXE_panic-attack instead.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Reduce shell_code_lines complexity to meet the reported check.
The SonarCloud check reports cognitive complexity of 111 against an allowed 30 for this function. Extract the heredoc-delimiter scan and quote transitions into focused helpers. The clean Clippy result does not resolve this separate check.

A '#' directly after a multiline quoted word ("a<nl>b"# /tmp/x) or a
backslash-newline continuation is part of the word, not a comment. Refactor
the scanner into a ShellScanner struct with per-state methods (behaviour
otherwise identical) to address the Sonar cognitive-complexity finding.
