fix(test): a guard file may name the module it forbids - #444
Conversation
main is red. #436 and #437 each added a guard and merged independently: the presentation-layer guard has to spell packageurl-go in order to ban it, and the module-boundary guard reports any file under internal/ that names it. Two rules doing their job, one flagging the other. The exemption is a set of canonical paths now. Not a name -- exempting anything called guards_test.go was the earlier bug in this same line, and it hid a forbidden import in a second guard file. Not one hard-coded path either, which is what made the guards collide the moment a second one existed. Adding a guard costs one line in that set, deliberately: a new exemption should be an edit somebody reviews, not a pattern that widens on its own. The predicate is extracted so the property can be pinned rather than described. TestGuardExemptionIsByPathNotByName fails if a file becomes exempt for being *named* like a guard, and if an entry names a file that no longer exists -- a dead exemption is a rule nobody is applying. The first mutation I ran against the old shape passed, which is how the missing test surfaced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…de/adopt-sdk-0.9.5 Test on this PR fails on a collision inherited from main, not on anything this branch changed: #436's module-boundary guard reports #437's presentation guard, which has to spell packageurl-go in order to forbid it. #444 fixes it. Merging that branch in so this PR's CI reflects its own changes; the merge collapses when #444 lands on main. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
main is red: #436 tightened TestNoDirectPackageURLUse while #437 added internal/output/registry_lookup_guard_test.go, whose own forbidden-string literal names the module the other guard forbids, so the two guards report each other. The failure is inherited by every branch cut from main, including this one, and is unrelated to the digest vocabulary change here. #444 fixes it and is green. Merging that branch rather than writing a second fix: it is the same commit, so when #444 lands on main this history dedupes with no conflict, and #443 never carries a competing version of the same fix. It touches only internal/detectors/guards_test.go, which this PR does not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Codex found the hole and it reproduced: the path-keyed exemption excused a guard file from *every* module rule, not from the one it states. The presentation-layer guard must spell packageurl-go, and was thereby also free to name go-spdx and the deprecated anchore fork with nothing reporting it. Appending both to that file left all guards green. The table maps a guard to the modules it is entitled to name, and guardMayName takes the module under test. internal/output's guard forbids one module, so it may name one. This file states every rule, so it names every module. The three module paths are constants now, shared by the forbidding rule and the exemption -- spelled twice, a typo would have opened a hole in the passing direction. TestGuardExemptionIsByPathAndPerModule replaces the by-path-not-by-name test and keeps that half. It also fails if a guard is entitled to a module it never names: an unused entitlement is a dead rule, the same way a path that no longer exists is. Mutations: the original probe now fails both module rules; a predicate ignoring the module fails; a predicate matching the base name fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Codex again, and it reproduced again. Adding a real import of packageurl-go to the entitled guard file left every guard green: this rule skipped the file for that module, and internal/output's own guard skips _test.go, so nothing was looking at the one file allowed to say the name. Naming and importing are different acts. A guard spells the module in a string so it can forbid it; an import is the hazard the rule exists to prevent. The entitlement now covers only the first. go/parser answers what a file imports. A textual scan cannot tell the two apart -- it reads this file's own const block as an import, which is the distinction the whole fix rests on. The prefix match carries its separator because a module path is not always the import path: go-spdx is reached as go-spdx/v2/spdxexp. TestNamingAModuleIsNotImportingIt pins the predicate on fixtures rather than on the repository, in four directions: a const and a comment are not an import, a blank import is, a subpackage import reaches the module, and a neighbour sharing the path prefix does not. The live guard files are asserted not to import what they are entitled to name. Mutations: the original probe now fails both the walker and the assertion; an entitlement ignoring imports fails; a prefix match without its separator fails.

CodeRabbit caught both halves of a drift I introduced. The last change hoisted the module paths into constants and said the rule and the exemption now shared them -- and then left TestNoDirectPackageURLUse scanning its own duplicated literals. The table used the constants, the rule used the strings, and nothing compared them. The other half made it invisible. The entitlement check asked whether the guard file's text contained the module, and this file declares all three constants, so the check passed no matter which modules any rule actually scanned. A guard that guards nothing, for the fifth time in this file. forbiddenModules maps each module to the rule that forbids it. Both rules take their lists from it, guardFiles grants exemptions against its keys, and the entitlement test validates against them: an entitlement for a module no rule forbids is a licence to import something nothing bans. What it still does not prove is that each named rule exists and runs. Go cannot ask that without depending on test ordering, which breaks under -run, so the comment says so rather than implying more. Mutations: dropping the fork's entry leaves its constant declared -- a text scan passes -- while the rule stops catching a probe that names it, and the entitlement check reports the orphan. A bogus entitlement for an unforbidden module fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…istyped Codex found the fifth hole in this file, and it is the same shape as the other four: a field that can be wrong in the direction that passes. A module carrying an owner string of "TestNoDirectPurlUse" belonged to no rule, was scanned by nothing, and still satisfied an entitlement, because the check asked whether the module was a map key rather than whether any live rule forbade it. Validating the owner against a list of known rules would have closed it. Inverting the registry removes the field instead: forbiddenModules is keyed by rule now, so there is no owner to mistype -- only a key, and a key that is not a rule is caught from both sides. TestRuleRegistryCoversEveryRule fails when a key names no rule that runs and when a rule that runs has no key. modulesForRule takes t and fails on an empty or missing list rather than returning nothing. A rule scanning no modules reports no offenders however many exist, which is indistinguishable from a rule that passed -- the failure mode this whole file exists to prevent, one level up. Mutations: Codex's mistyped key fails twice over, once in the registry test and once in the rule that would have scanned nothing. An emptied list fails. A modulesForRule that returns silently still fails the registry test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
mainis red right now. This fixes it. Reproduced onorigin/maindirectly, not just on a branch:Cause
#436 and #437 each added a guard and merged independently, and neither could have seen it alone:
packageurl-goin order to forbid it.internal/naming that module, exempting only itself.Two rules doing their jobs, one flagging the other. A guard file naming a module in a rule that bans it is the opposite of reaching for it.
Fix
The exemption is a set of canonical paths.
Not a name — exempting anything called
guards_test.gowas the earlier bug in this very line, and it hid a forbidden import in a second guard file. Not a single hard-coded path either, which is what made the two guards collide as soon as a second one existed.Adding a guard now costs one line in that set, on purpose: a new exemption should be an edit someone reviews, not a pattern that widens by itself.
The test exists because a mutation passed
My first mutation — reverting the predicate to a basename match — passed, which meant nothing pinned "exempt by path, not by name". The predicate is extracted now and
TestGuardExemptionIsByPathNotByNamecovers both failure directions:Re-run after extracting:
"../../internal/sbom/guards_test.go" is exempt for being named guards_test.go rather than for being a guard. Dropping the output guard from the set reproduces main's current failure.make verifygreen.Merge this before #440 — that PR is otherwise green and only red because it merged a broken
