From bb81a1a3a0a190eb5f3ed596c55ef5810762d902 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:21:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 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). --- UNDF-REGISTRY.json | 3 +- defects/psalm/Makefile | 6 + defects/psalm/bench/bench-psalm-0001.py | 58 +++++++++ defects/psalm/bench/results.txt | 7 + defects/psalm/bench/run_all.py | 19 +++ ...0001-filefilter-allowsclass-in-array.patch | 53 ++++++++ ...lm-0001-filefilter-allowsclass-in-array.md | 73 +++++++++++ whitepaper/outreach/psalm.md | 46 +++++++ whitepaper/outreach/wave4-linter-ci-survey.md | 120 ++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 384 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 defects/psalm/Makefile create mode 100644 defects/psalm/bench/bench-psalm-0001.py create mode 100644 defects/psalm/bench/results.txt create mode 100644 defects/psalm/bench/run_all.py create mode 100644 defects/psalm/patch/psalm-0001-filefilter-allowsclass-in-array.patch create mode 100644 docs/tickets/psalm-0001-filefilter-allowsclass-in-array.md create mode 100644 whitepaper/outreach/psalm.md create mode 100644 whitepaper/outreach/wave4-linter-ci-survey.md diff --git a/UNDF-REGISTRY.json b/UNDF-REGISTRY.json index 8e785e111..c988685f2 100644 --- a/UNDF-REGISTRY.json +++ b/UNDF-REGISTRY.json @@ -1293,5 +1293,6 @@ "check-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001292", "jasmine-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001293", "testng-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001294", - "vitest-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001295" + "vitest-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001295", + "psalm-0001": "UNDF-2026-000001296" } diff --git a/defects/psalm/Makefile b/defects/psalm/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 000000000..125b5b8f6 --- /dev/null +++ b/defects/psalm/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +.PHONY: all bench clean +all: bench +bench: + python3 bench/run_all.py +clean: + rm -rf bench/__pycache__ __pycache__ diff --git a/defects/psalm/bench/bench-psalm-0001.py b/defects/psalm/bench/bench-psalm-0001.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f3a33d6b2 --- /dev/null +++ b/defects/psalm/bench/bench-psalm-0001.py @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +# bench-psalm-0001.py +# FileFilter.allowsClass: in_array(strtolower($cls), $fq_classlike_names, true) +# per class visited.
