/** * CPS Scanner — Cache-Prefix Stability Analyzer (v5 N3) * * Walks the CLAUDE.md cascade and flags volatile content anywhere in the * cached prefix (≤ CACHED_PREFIX_LINES). Distinguishes from TOK Pattern A, * which only inspects the top 30 lines: CPS catches a `!git log` at line 60 * or a `${TIMESTAMP}` at line 100. Volatile content anywhere in the cached * prefix breaks prompt-cache reuse from that line forward. * * Volatile patterns extend the TOK set with shell-exec `!` prefix and * `${VAR}` substitutions — both common cache-busters in real CLAUDE.md files. * * Finding ID: CA-CPS-NNN. Severity: medium. * * Zero external dependencies. */ import { resolve, dirname } from 'node:path'; import { tmpdir } from 'node:os'; import { readTextFile } from './lib/file-discovery.mjs'; import { finding, scannerResult } from './lib/output.mjs'; import { SEVERITY } from './lib/severity.mjs'; import { findImports } from './lib/yaml-parser.mjs'; const SCANNER = 'CPS'; // Cache-prefix line threshold: content below this line is unlikely to be // part of a stable cached prefix in typical sessions.
