 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [7.8.2] - 2026-07-18
+
+Security patch. Fixes five defects from the v7.8.1 completion review, four of
+which caused a scanner or hook to fail silently — reporting success while the
+check it was named for did not run. No feature changes. 1901 tests, 0 fail.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **HIGH — bare root/home targets bypassed the rm block**
+  (`hooks/scripts/pre-bash-destructive.mjs`). The BLOCK rule's target
+  alternation ended in a shared `\b`, and a word boundary cannot hold after `/`
+  or `~` at end-of-command. `rm -rf /`, `rm -rf ~`, `rm -rf /*`, `rm -fr /` and
+  the sudo-prefixed forms all fell through to WARN (exit 0) — advisory only,
+  command executed. Only targets starting with a word character (`/etc`,
+  `/usr`) were ever blocked. `\b` now applies to the `$HOME` alternative alone,
+  where it is meaningful.
+
+- **HIGH — entropy suppression keyed off the absolute path**
+  (`scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs`). The test/fixture suppression rule matched
+  `/(test|spec|fixture|mock|__test__|__spec__)/i` against the **absolute**
+  path, so any directory name above the scan root silenced every entropy
+  finding in the entire target while still reporting status `ok`. The rule now
+  keys off the path relative to the scan root.
+
+- **HIGH — one unparseable JetBrains plugin crashed the whole ide-scan**
+  (`scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs`). The two manifest parsers disagree on
+  how they signal failure: `parseVSCodeExtension` returns bare `null`,
+  `parseIntelliJPlugin` returns a truthy `{ manifest: null, warnings }`. Only
+  the bare-null form was guarded, so every JetBrains failure path dereferenced
+  `manifest.hasSignature`; the TypeError escaped through `mapConcurrent`'s
+  unguarded `Promise.all` and aborted the scan of every other installed
+  extension. Guard widened, plus per-extension fault isolation at the call
+  site.
+
+- **HIGH — obfuscated injections were reported but not stripped**
+  (`scanners/content-extractor.mjs`). `stripInjection` scanned both the raw and
+  the decoded text but removed matches only via a literal replace against the
+  raw text. For a decoded-only match, `match[0]` is the decoded string, which
+  by construction does not occur in the raw text — so the replace was a silent
+  no-op and the encoded payload reached the LLM agent verbatim via
+  `sanitized_content`, alongside a finding announcing it. Every obfuscation the
+  normalizer exists to defeat was affected. Decoded-only matches are now
+  removed by redacting the source line; multi-line payloads that cannot be
+  attributed are flagged `unstripped: true` rather than left silently.
+
+- **Out-of-range numeric character reference emptied a plugin.xml field**
+  (`scanners/lib/ide-extension-parser.mjs`). `decodeEntities` guarded
+  `parseInt` with `Number.isFinite`, which bounds nothing, so any code point
+  above `0x10FFFF` made `String.fromCodePoint` raise `RangeError`. The
+  no-throw contract held (the per-field `safe()` wrapper catches it), but the
+  affected field was discarded and replaced with `''`. Undecodable references
+  are now left literal. Filed as HIGH; it is lower — such a document is not
+  well-formed XML, so the plugin would not load in IntelliJ either.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `stripInjection` (content-extractor) and `scanOneExtension` (ide-extension-
+  scanner) are exported for testing; `content-extractor.mjs` runs `main()`
+  behind the standard `isMain` guard so importing it no longer executes the
+  CLI. The remote-scan injection boundary had no direct test coverage before
+  this release.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `tests/hooks/probe-rm.mjs` — a self-labelled temporary debug probe with no
+  assertions, pointing at a hardcoded path into the installed marketplace copy.
+
+## [7.8.1] - 2026-07-18
+
+Security patch. Fixes a CRITICAL command-injection defect in the auto-cleaner
+that shipped in v7.8.0. No feature changes. 1865 tests, 0 fail.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **CRITICAL — command injection via scanned filename**
+  (`scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs`). `validateContent()` syntax-checked
+  `.mjs`/`.js`/`.cjs` candidates with
+  ``execSync(`node --check "${tmpPath}"`)``, where `tmpPath` derives from the
+  **untrusted scanned-repo filename**. The F-2 guard added in v7.8.0 checks
+  path containment but neither strips nor quotes shell metacharacters, and a
+  filename containing `"` closes the interpolated quote. A repository shipping
+  a file named ``x";<command>;".mjs`` therefore turned `/security clean` —
+  whose live mode is the documented default — into arbitrary command execution
+  on the operator's machine. Verified with a live proof-of-concept before the
+  fix. Both subprocess call sites (the syntax check, and the CLI's
+  scan-orchestrator fallback) now use `spawnSync` with an argv array, so no
+  shell parses the path.
+- **Defense-in-depth:** `applyFixes()` now refuses findings whose `file` field
+  carries shell or control metacharacters, reporting them as `skipped` rather
+  than passing them to any sink. This guards against a future call site
+  re-introducing string interpolation.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `validateContent` is exported from `scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs` so the
+  regression suite can exercise the subprocess sink directly, independently of
+  the `applyFixes` guard that would otherwise mask it.
+

-**v7.8.0 highlights** — TRG/SIG/AST: three new deterministic deep-scan scanners targeting the skills/agents attack surface, each with its own finding prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, and graceful-skip behaviour. **TRG** (`scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs`) inspects command/agent/skill `name` + `description` frontmatter for activation-surface abuse — `TRG-shadow` (name collides with a built-in and intercepts it), `TRG-baiting` (maximally-activating phrases that bait indiscriminate invocation), `TRG-broad` (generic name + universal-applicability claim); descriptions pass the decode pipeline first so obfuscated baiting still trips (LLM06/AST04). **SIG** (`scanners/signature-scanner.mjs`) is a pure-Node known-malware *identity* engine (webshells, reverse shells, cryptominers, hacktools) that tests each signature against both raw bytes and the decode pipeline, so obfuscated known-malware a byte-matcher misses is still caught; rules in `knowledge/signatures.json` (LLM03/LLM02). **AST** (`scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs`) shells out to a PARSE-ONLY `python3` helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for scope-aware Python taint analysis, falling back to the regex `taint-tracer.mjs` when `python3` is absent; the helper only `ast.parse`s the target, never executes it (LLM01/LLM02/AST02). Built behind a security-fix gate (F-1/F-2/F-3 landed first). No existing scanner, hook, or command behaviour changes.
+**v7.8.2 highlights** — Security patch, no feature changes. Five defects from the v7.8.1 completion review, four sharing one failure mode: **the check reported success without running**. (1) `hooks/scripts/pre-bash-destructive.mjs` did not block `rm -rf /` or `rm -rf ~` — the target alternation `(?:\/|~|\$HOME)\b` ended in a word boundary that cannot hold after `/` or `~` at end-of-command, so the bare forms the rule is named for fell through to WARN (exit 0, command executed) while `/etc` and `$HOME` blocked normally, making the rule look functional from either end. (2) `scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs` matched its test/fixture suppression against the **absolute** path, so any ancestor directory named `test`/`spec`/`fixture`/`mock` silenced every entropy finding in the target while still returning status `ok`; it now keys off the relative path. (3) `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` guarded only `parseVSCodeExtension`'s bare-`null` failure signal, not `parseIntelliJPlugin`'s truthy `{ manifest: null, warnings }`, so any malformed JetBrains plugin dereferenced `manifest.hasSignature`; the TypeError escaped `mapConcurrent`'s unguarded `Promise.all` and aborted the scan of every other installed extension. Guard widened + per-extension fault isolation. (4) `scanners/content-extractor.mjs` — the remote-scan injection boundary — detected obfuscated injections but did not strip them: a decoded-only `match[0]` never occurs in the raw text, so the literal replace was a silent no-op and the payload reached the agent verbatim via `sanitized_content` alongside a finding announcing it. Removal is now line-level; unattributable multi-line payloads carry `unstripped: true`. This boundary had no direct test coverage before v7.8.2. (5) `scanners/lib/ide-extension-parser.mjs` emptied any plugin.xml field holding a character reference above `0x10FFFF` (`Number.isFinite` bounds nothing) — filed as HIGH, actually lower, since such a document is not well-formed XML.
+
+**v7.8.1 highlights** — Security patch, no feature changes. Fixes a CRITICAL command injection in `scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs`: `validateContent()` syntax-checked candidate `.mjs`/`.js`/`.cjs` content via ``execSync(`node --check "${tmpPath}"`)``, where `tmpPath` derives from the **untrusted scanned-repo filename**. The v7.8.0 F-2 guard checks path containment but neither strips nor quotes shell metacharacters, so a file named ``x";<command>;".mjs`` closes the interpolated quote and injects a command; since `/security clean` runs live by default, scanning a hostile repository sufficed for arbitrary local command execution (live-PoC verified). Both subprocess sites — the syntax check and the CLI's inline scan-orchestrator fallback — now use `spawnSync` with an argv array, so no shell parses a path. Defense-in-depth: `applyFixes()` refuses findings whose `file` carries shell/control metacharacters, surfaced as `skipped`. `validateContent` is now exported so regression tests can drive the sink directly — the guard would otherwise mask a re-introduced shell.
+
+**v7.8.0 highlights** — Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners (TRG/SIG/AST) targeting the skills/agents attack surface, each with its own finding prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, and graceful-skip behaviour. **TRG** (`scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs`) inspects command/agent/skill `name` + `description` frontmatter for activation-surface abuse — `TRG-shadow` (name collides with a built-in and intercepts it), `TRG-baiting` (maximally-activating phrases that bait indiscriminate invocation), `TRG-broad` (generic name + universal-applicability claim); descriptions pass the decode pipeline first so obfuscated baiting still trips (LLM06/AST04). **SIG** (`scanners/signature-scanner.mjs`) is a pure-Node known-malware *identity* engine (webshells, reverse shells, cryptominers, hacktools) that tests each signature against both raw bytes and the decode pipeline, so obfuscated known-malware a byte-matcher misses is still caught; rules in `knowledge/signatures.json` (LLM03/LLM02). **AST** (`scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs`) shells out to a PARSE-ONLY `python3` helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for scope-aware Python taint analysis, falling back to the regex `taint-tracer.mjs` when `python3` is absent; the helper only `ast.parse`s the target, never executes it (LLM01/LLM02/AST02). Built behind a security-fix gate (F-1/F-2/F-3 landed first). No existing scanner, hook, or command behaviour changes.
 
 **v7.7.2 highlights** — Language consistency pass. Norwegian had crept into the playground UI strings, the canonical CLI renderer (`scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs`), the HTML Report-step appended by all 18 skill commands, two agent prompts, and the marketplace + plugin README/CLAUDE.md state sections. Per the `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` convention (English for code and documentation, Norwegian for dialog only), surface text was translated to English. Demo-state fixture content for the `dft-komplett-demo` project (intentional Norwegian persona) and regex alternations that match Norwegian-language report markdown (`/^high|^høy/`, `/resolution|løsning/`) were preserved. No scanner, hook, or behavior changes.

Per the `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` convention (English for code and documentation, Norwegian for dialog only), this release translates: the HTML Report-step appended by all 18 skill commands, the canonical CLI renderer `scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs` (display strings + JS comments), the playground UI strings, the `skill-scanner-agent` and `mcp-scanner-agent` system prompts, the Recent versions table and playground architecture prose in this README, the v7.7.x highlights in `CLAUDE.md`, and the llm-security entries in the marketplace root `README.md` + `CLAUDE.md`, plus six table cells in `docs/scanner-reference.md`.

 | **7.7.1** | 2026-05-18 | **Playground UX strip.** Operator feedback immediately after v7.7.0: the home surface led with three project tracks (Re-onboard / New project / Command catalog) even though the catalog was the important entry point. Minimum strip delivered as three atomic commits (`b732eee` + `2a6f73f` + `81b7beb`): (1) the router always forces `activeSurface = 'catalog'` (the onboarding/home/project render functions are preserved in source but no longer routable); (2) the topbar `Home` and `Re-onboard` buttons removed, `Catalog` retained; (3) the breadcrumb org-name (`shared.organization.name` from demo state) replaced with a static `llm-security` neutral scope anchor. Fix: the hardcoded `'Plugin v7.6.1'` on line 6933 of `renderHome` (template literal not caught by the v7.7.0 grep) was synced. The onboarding concept is documented as a v7.8.0 candidate (per-command context injection) in `ROADMAP.md`. No scanner or hook behavior changes. |
 | **7.7.0** | 2026-05-18 | **HTML report for all 18 skill commands.** Every `/security <cmd>` that produces a report now prints a clickable `file://` link to a self-contained HTML version. Delivered across 5 sessions. (1) Playground catalog list-view + builder-pane with a copy button. (2) Playground project-surface cleanup (stub-screen handling, topbar split). (3) The 18 inline parsers + renderers in the playground HTML were moved to a canonical ESM module `scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs` (the playground keeps a bit-identical inline copy since ESM `import` does not work from `file://`). (4) New zero-dep CLI `scripts/render-report.mjs` — stdin/file/stdout mode, kebab→camel commandId routing, inlines 6 DS stylesheets + a local `.report-table` CSS, ~140 KB self-contained HTML, system-font fallback, absolute `file://` paths for Ghostty cmd-click. (5) All 18 skills wired (4 in session 4: scan/audit/posture/deep-scan; 14 in session 5: plugin-audit/mcp-audit/mcp-inspect/ide-scan/supply-check/dashboard/pre-deploy/diff/watch/registry/clean/harden/threat-model/red-team).

+4 of 6 deliverables written, LOCAL ONLY: `docs/JOBS-TO-BE-DONE.md`, `docs/FAMILY-MAP.md`,
-  Session-B fixes normally.
+`docs/commons-extraction-plan.md`, `docs/roadmap.md` [gitignored]. Remaining v8 docs (do NOT start
-- origin = Forgejo `open/llm-security` (never GitHub). Push window: weekdays 20:00–23:00; weekends/
+until visibility is decided): formal `docs/completion-review-2026-07-17.md` and `V8-ANNOUNCEMENT.md`.
-  holidays anytime. Outside window at session end → commit locally, PARK the push, say so explicitly.
+**DO NOT PUSH the 3 untracked docs:** origin `open/llm-security.git` is a PUBLIC mirror; they describe
+cross-repo strategy + a sibling (`claude-code-llm-wiki`, "Private pending Anthropic ToS").
+NOTE: `docs/FAMILY-MAP.md:42` says v7.8.0/1863 tests — stale, fix when the parking ends.
+
+## Ground truth (verified 2026-07-18)
+- **`npm test` = 1901/0 green** at tip (1865 + 36 new). Run with `npm test` — `node --test tests/`
+  is NOT valid; the script is `node --test 'tests/**/*.test.mjs'`.
+- v7.8.2 released: tag `v7.8.2` pushed, catalog ref bumped, `check-versions.mjs` = **0 ERROR**
+  (the one WARN is `okr`, pre-existing and unrelated).
+- Test-pollution trap (hit and fixed): `jetbrains-parser.test.mjs` asserts globally that no
+  `llmsec-jb-*` dir survives in tmpdir. Any new test using that mkdtemp prefix fails it
+  order-dependently — passed one full run, failed the next. Pick a non-colliding prefix.
+- Exported for testability, do not "tidy" away: `validateContent` (auto-cleaner, v7.8.1),
+  `stripInjection` (content-extractor, v7.8.2), `scanOneExtension` (ide-extension-scanner).
+  `content-extractor.mjs` now runs `main()` behind an `isMain` guard — CLI re-verified working.
+- Known residual gap (documented, not a bug to re-file): `stripInjection` cannot attribute a
+  payload encoded ACROSS lines; those findings carry `unstripped: true` by design. Whole-file
+  redaction was considered and rejected (normalizeForScan base64-decodes any long blob).
+- Prior security: F-1/2/3/5/6 fixed; F-4 open (optional/LOW); B1/B2/E14 fixed.
+
+## Position taken (strategic anchor)
+llm-security **consolidates**; growth at **family level** (security-commons + `llm-retrieval-guard`
+sibling for the LLM08 write→retrieval seam). JS/TS AST-taint parity + post-clone CLAUDE.md-poisoning
+stay here; research artifact-scanners (model/pickle, .ipynb, insecure-ML) relocate to commons/guard.
+v8.0.0 = deprecation cleanup (LLM_SECURITY_* env-vars + riskScoreV1) + behaviour-preserving commons
+extraction + verified fixes + docs consistency.
+
+## Continuity
+origin = Forgejo `open/llm-security` (PUBLIC, never GitHub). Push window: weekdays 20:00–23:00;
+weekends/holidays anytime. STATE.md is intentionally TRACKED + committed (`.gitignore:19-20` NOTE).
+**Disclosure convention:** a security fix to public code is committed but HELD until its release tag
+exists, so the exploit description never lands before the fixed version. Fix, bump, tag, catalog, push.
+**Release mechanics:** `catalog/scripts/release-plugin.mjs <plugin> --version X.Y.Z` (dry-run by
+default; `--create-tag`, then `--write --commit --push`). It refuses unless plugin.json == README
+badge == target. Push the plugin repo's commits BEFORE `--create-tag`.

-## v7.8.0 — TRG/SIG/AST: trigger, signature, and AST-taint scanners
+## v7.8.2 — Silent-failure fixes from the completion review (HIGH)
 
-Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners ("TRG/SIG/AST"), each with its own
+Security patch covering five defects found in the v7.8.1 completion review. No
+feature changes; full suite green at 1901/0 (1865 + 36 new regression tests).
+
+The common thread in four of the five is **silent failure**: the scanner or
+hook reported success while the check it is named for did not run. That is the
+worst failure mode for a security tool, because a clean report is
+indistinguishable from a clean target.
+
+- **`hooks/scripts/pre-bash-destructive.mjs`** — the rule named "Filesystem
+  root destruction (rm -rf /)" did not block `rm -rf /`. Its target
+  alternation `(?:\/|~|\$HOME)\b` ended in a word-boundary assertion, which
+  cannot hold after `/` or `~` at end-of-command. Measured: `rm -rf /`,
+  `rm -rf ~`, `rm -rf /*`, `rm -fr /` and `sudo rm -rf /` all fell through to
+  WARN — advisory only, exit 0, command executed. `rm -rf $HOME` and
+  `rm -rf /usr` were blocked, which is why the gap survived: the rule looked
+  functional from either end. The `\b` now sits on the `$HOME` alternative
+  alone, so `$HOMEDIR` is still not swallowed. The prior test file had encoded
+  the defect as expected behaviour, with a NOTE attributing it to merged `-rf`
+  flags — a misdiagnosis, since `rm -rf /etc` blocks fine with merged flags.
+
+- **`scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs`** — the "test fixtures intentionally contain
+  example secrets" suppression matched against the **absolute** path. Any
+  ancestor directory name containing `test`, `spec`, `fixture` or `mock`
+  therefore suppressed every entropy finding in the whole target: a repository
+  cloned into a CI workspace, or checked out beneath a folder named `testing`,
+  reported zero secrets with status `ok`. The rule now keys off the path
+  relative to the scan root, which was already computed and passed alongside
+  it. Genuine fixture suppression (a `*.test.mjs` file, a relative `tests/`
+  directory) is unchanged.
+
+- **`scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs`** — `parseVSCodeExtension` signals
+  failure as bare `null`; `parseIntelliJPlugin` signals it as a **truthy**
+  `{ manifest: null, warnings }`. Only the former was guarded, so all five
+  JetBrains failure paths (no `lib/`, `lib/` not a directory, `lib/`
+  unreadable, no jars, no extractable jar) reached `manifest.hasSignature` and
+  threw. `mapConcurrent` awaited without a per-item catch, so `Promise.all`
+  rejected and the entire ide-scan aborted — one malformed plugin directory
+  took down the scan of every other installed extension, including, in an
+  audit context, a plugin that is malformed precisely because it is hostile.
+
+- **`scanners/content-extractor.mjs`** — this is the remote-scan indirection
+  layer: agents are supposed to see a sanitized evidence package, never raw
+  hostile content. `stripInjection` scanned the raw text *and* its decoded
+  form, but removed matches with `sanitized.replace(match[0], …)` against the
+  raw text only. A decoded-only `match[0]` does not occur in the raw text by
+  construction, so the replace silently did nothing: the payload was handed to
+  the agent verbatim through `sanitized_content` while the report announced a
+  critical injection. Removal now redacts the offending source line, since
+  decoding is not length-preserving and decoded offsets cannot be mapped back.
+  A payload split across several lines still cannot be attributed; those
+  findings carry `unstripped: true` instead of failing quietly. Whole-file
+  redaction was rejected — `normalizeForScan` base64-decodes any long blob, so
+  a benign asset could blank a file's entire evidence.
+
+- **`scanners/lib/ide-extension-parser.mjs`** — `decodeEntities` guarded
+  `parseInt` with `Number.isFinite`, which bounds nothing, so a character
+  reference above `0x10FFFF` raised `RangeError` in `String.fromCodePoint`.
+  Contrary to how this was filed, the documented no-throw contract held: the
+  per-field `safe()` wrapper catches it. The real effect was quieter — the
+  field was replaced with `''`, so a `<name>` carrying one such reference
+  parsed as an empty name and name-based checks (JetBrains typosquat
+  detection) ran against nothing. Severity is below HIGH: a document with a
+  code point above `0x10FFFF` is not well-formed XML, so IntelliJ would reject
+  the plugin as well. Undecodable references are now left literal.
+
+## v7.8.1 — Auto-cleaner command-injection fix (CRITICAL)
+
+Security patch for a CRITICAL defect introduced with the v7.8.0 auto-cleaner
+hardening pass. No feature changes; full suite green at 1865/0.
+
+`scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs` validated candidate `.mjs`/`.js`/`.cjs` content by
+shelling out to ``node --check "${tmpPath}"`` via `execSync`. `tmpPath` is
+derived from the finding's `file` field — an untrusted scanned-repo filename.
+The F-2 containment guard that landed in v7.8.0 verifies the resolved path
+stays inside the scanned tree, but performs no shell-metacharacter handling, so
+a filename whose `"` terminates the interpolated quote injects a second
+command. Because `/security clean` runs in live mode by default, scanning a
+hostile repository was sufficient to execute attacker-chosen commands locally.
+The defect was reproduced with a live proof-of-concept before being fixed.
+
+Both subprocess sites now use `spawnSync` with an argv array — the syntax check
+and the CLI's inline scan-orchestrator fallback — so no shell interprets a path.
+As defense-in-depth, `applyFixes()` additionally refuses any finding whose
+`file` carries shell or control metacharacters, surfacing it as `skipped`.
+
+Regression coverage is deliberately split across both layers
+(`tests/scanners/auto-cleaner-rce.test.mjs`): one test drives `validateContent`
+directly to prove the shell is gone, because the metacharacter guard would
+otherwise stop the hostile input before it reached the sink and the test would
+pass without testing the fix.
+
+## v7.8.0 — Trigger, signature, and AST-taint scanners
+
+Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners (TRG/SIG/AST), each with its own
 finding prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, fixtures, and graceful-skip
 behaviour. They target the skills/agents activation and code surface that the
 permission and shape-based scanners do not cover. Built behind a security-fix
