wave4: psalm-0001 flagship patch + linter/CI/config scan survey

psalm-0001: FileFilter.allowsClass runs in_array() on every class the
analyzer visits. For C classes and F filter entries, per-run cost is
O(C*F). Fix: lazy array_fill_keys hash set; O(1) probe per class.
Bench: 336x at C=F=5000. Patch + ticket + bench + intel brief ship.

wave4-linter-ci-survey.md: consolidated report on 40 projects scanned
across linters (eslint, biome, prettier, pylint, ruff, black, rubocop,
shellcheck, stylelint, sqlfluff, phpstan, PHP_CodeSniffer, psalm,
rustfmt, golangci-lint, scalafmt, hadolint, yamllint, markdownlint,
ktlint, detekt), CI runners (act, buildkite-agent, tektoncd/pipeline,
concourse, woodpecker), config management (aws-cdk, cdk8s, kustomize),
and build tools (rollup, parcel, vite, turborepo, nx, lerna, swc,
babel, gulp).

Clean scans (zero HIGH+ findings): hadolint, shellcheck, gulp.

Document includes per-target finding counts and 7 triage follow-ups for
future waves (PHP_CodeSniffer ReDoS, ktlint spacing rule, pylint
MSG_ORDER.index, black pgen2 dfa, golangci-lint migrate, tektoncd
forbidden-env scan, aws-cdk region-info).

+# psalm-0001: FileFilter.allowsClass — O(C×F) linear scan per class analyzed
+
+**Target:** vimeo/psalm
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
+**MOAD:** MOAD-0001 (A Sedimentary Defect)
+**File:** `src/Psalm/Config/FileFilter.php:573-584`
+**Language:** PHP
+**Status:** open
+
+## Description
+
+`Psalm\Config\FileFilter::allowsClass()` is called during static analysis once per fully-qualified class the analyzer visits. The method iterates an optional list of regex patterns, then falls back to `in_array(strtolower($fq_classlike_name), $this->fq_classlike_names, true)` — an O(F) linear scan of the configured class-name filter list.
+
+For a project with C classes and a filter list of size F (common in large codebases that carefully scope Psalm analysis), per-analysis cost is O(C×F). Filter lists commonly hit hundreds of entries on large monorepos.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+```php
+public function allowsClass(string $fq_classlike_name): bool
+{
+    if ($this->fq_classlike_patterns) {
+        foreach ($this->fq_classlike_patterns as $pattern) {
+            if (preg_match($pattern, $fq_classlike_name)) {
+                return true;
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    return in_array(strtolower($fq_classlike_name), $this->fq_classlike_names, true);
+}
+```
+
+`in_array` is O(F) and runs on every class the analyzer encounters. C class × F filter = O(C×F).
+
+## Fix
+
+Pre-lowercase `$this->fq_classlike_names` once and store as an associative array (hash set). `isset($this->fq_classlike_names_set[$lowered])` is O(1). Keep the patterns-first path unchanged.
+
+```php
+private ?array $fq_classlike_names_set = null;  // lazy O(1) lookup
+
+public function allowsClass(string $fq_classlike_name): bool
+{
+    if ($this->fq_classlike_patterns) {
+        foreach ($this->fq_classlike_patterns as $pattern) {
+            if (preg_match($pattern, $fq_classlike_name)) {
+                return true;
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    if ($this->fq_classlike_names_set === null) {
+        $this->fq_classlike_names_set = array_fill_keys(
+            array_map('strtolower', $this->fq_classlike_names),
+            true,
+        );
+    }
+
+    return isset($this->fq_classlike_names_set[strtolower($fq_classlike_name)]);
+}
+```
+
+Total cost drops to O(C+F). The lazy-init ensures the hash is built once per FileFilter instance and reused.
+
+## Severity Note
+
+Runs on every class visited during Psalm analysis. Impact scales with project size × filter-list size. A 10,000-class project with a 1,000-entry filter list goes from 10M scans to 11K hash lookups. Psalm runs are already CPU-bound; this closes an O(N²) that compounds the cost.
+
+## Complexity Gate
+
+- C=F=1000: fixed must complete in <5ms
+- k-scaling 5×: time ratio must be <17.5× (O(k) ≈5×, not O(k²) ≈25×)

+# Psalm — CWE-407 Disclosure Brief
+
+**Project:** Psalm (vimeo/psalm)
+**Disclosure date:** 2026-04-24
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Speedup:** 336× measured at C=F=5000 (classes × filter-list entries)
+**Status:** patch-ready, 1 patch plus test + bench
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Psalm's `FileFilter` drives the analyzer's scope — which classes get checked and which get skipped — on every static-analysis run. `allowsClass()` is invoked once per class the analyzer visits. The method's fallback path runs `in_array(strtolower($fq_classlike_name), $this->fq_classlike_names, true)`, an O(F) linear scan over the configured filter list. For C classes analyzed against F filter entries, total cost is O(C×F).
+
+Projects with careful Psalm configuration (monorepos that scope analysis to dozens or hundreds of class patterns) pay this on every CI run. Our bench measures 336× speedup at C=F=5000 on the hash-backed fix.
+
+## The Defects
+
+**psalm-0001 (MOAD-0001 — MEDIUM):** `src/Psalm/Config/FileFilter.php:573-584`
+
+```php
+public function allowsClass(string $fq_classlike_name): bool
+{
+    if ($this->fq_classlike_patterns) { /* regex path unchanged */ }
+    return in_array(strtolower($fq_classlike_name), $this->fq_classlike_names, true);
+}
+```
+
+**Fix:** Lazy-init an associative array (hash set) keyed by the lowercased class name. `isset($hash[$lowered])` is O(1). Rebuilt once per FileFilter instance.
+

+# Linters, CI/CD, Config Management, Build Tools — CWE-407 Wave 4 Scan
+
+**Survey date:** 2026-04-24

+2. **ktlint ELEMENT_TYPES_ALLOWING_PRECEDING_WHITESPACE.contains** — Kotlin ktlint hot path in SpacingAroundAngleBrackets rule.
+3. **pylint base_checker MSG_ORDER.index** — Python checker sort key O(N) on every message comparison.
+4. **black pgen2 dfa.index** — parser generator state lookup, once at init but scales with grammar size.
+5. **golangci-lint migrate_linter_names.go** — 8 M1 hits in migration-cli code.
+6. **tektoncd/pipeline taskrun forbidden-env scan** — slices.Contains per env var on reconciler, mostly bounded-N.
+7. **aws-cdk region-info.ts** — 10 M1 hits; CDK runs per-synth, impact worth measuring.
