Summary

Stack base for OIE Module C. Rewritten from the monolithic tip so reviews stay scoped.

LiteLLM shared router already landed via #1102 — this slice is librarian retrieval only:

  • Dual-index C.1 retrieval, CRE summaries, prior cage, hub seed, edition remap
  • Factory defaults (CRE summary + dual-index), embedding text hygiene hooks
  • Librarian unit tests + related OIE utility scripts

Full tip backup (pre-split): commit b0e5e65b / local ref refs/backup/oie-1088-full.

Stack (merge bottom → top)

  1. feat(librarian): Module C retrieval upgrades (stack base) #1088 — librarian base ← you are here
  2. feat(harvester): requirement extract and GitHub URL ingest #1115 — harvester requirement extract + GitHub ingest
  3. feat(oie): B2 eval harness and CRE neighborhood scorer #1116 — B2 eval harness code
  4. chore(oie): ASVS 5.0 provisional B2 sources and gold #1117 — ASVS B2 fixtures/gold
  5. chore(oie): NIST 800-53 and remaining B2 sources/gold #1118 — NIST + remaining B2 fixtures/gold
  6. feat(mappings): promote Related-orphan remaps into canonical fixtures #1119 — canonical mapping fixture promotions
  7. feat(oie): full-pipeline runner, docs, and experimental-flag notes #1120 — full-pipeline runner + docs (experimental flags removable on merge if unused)

Test plan

  • Targeted: python -m unittest discover -s application/tests/librarian -p '*_test.py'
  • Confirm PR diff is librarian-scoped (no scripts/oie_owasp_eval/fixtures/b2_sources)

The dataset builder can load provisional ASVS 5.0 positive rows and merge them into an existing output. The schema permits the CRE_GAP reason code.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6b95f

Two reported test failures appear to remain, which would block CI. Content after the first 6,000 characters can bypass the new safety check. A blocked redirect can still be fetched through the browser fallback. The hub sync script can write to a remote database that it should reject. Resolve these before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dd480

The new database-copy command can expose credentials and does not reliably enforce its intended connection boundaries. It requires operator execution and database permissions, limiting reachability, but can affect the destination’s shared catalog.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: The newly added sync command enforces its local-destination policy using only the URI authority hostname, while passing the complete URI to libpq. Query-string host or hostaddr parameters can select a remote destination without the acknowledgement flag. The resulting operation replaces every destination CRE embedding and upserts referenced CRE metadata. The base command had an analogous guard weakness, but only copied embeddings.
  • High · security · inferred: The new PostgreSQL source path relies on caller or environment TLS settings except for selected URLs, where it adds sslmode=require. This does not itself guarantee server identity verification. Under permissive effective settings, a network-positioned attacker could alter copied catalog content. Permissive source connections predate this PR, but the new command also accepts source metadata for insertion or overwrite in the CRE catalog.
  • High · security · observed: The new command prints the complete destination URL after committing its writes, including any supplied username and password. Anyone able to read captured stdout may obtain the supplied database identity. The impact is bounded by that identity’s actual grants, which are unknown. The base command already printed destination URLs, so this is an additional credential-output path rather than a novel exposure class.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The direct mutation scope is all CRE embeddings in the selected destination database and metadata for source-referenced CRE IDs. There is no tenant or ownership predicate in these writes. Execution requires a supplied database identity; exposure beyond these operations depends on its grants and is not established by the available deployment evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The three retained findings cover distinct attack prerequisites: access to captured stdout for destination credentials, influence over a destination URI plus usable database authentication for the local-policy bypass, and network interception under permissive effective TLS settings for source tampering. None establishes unauthenticated web reachability or automatic cross-tenant access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Source database content crosses into destination catalog authority through parameterized upserts and inserts. The command rejects an empty usable embedding set before opening its destination transaction and defaults to a local destination. These controls protect against empty-source destruction and SQL value injection, but do not bind the effective libpq endpoint or authenticate the source server.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Destination metadata upsert and embedding replacement share one transaction, containing partial mutation on failure before commit. Counts and credential-bearing output occur after the explicit commit, so a subsequent reporting failure cannot undo the writes. There is no explicit synchronization between concurrent sync runs or built-in restoration of the previous catalog; rerunning identical input reconstructs the embedding set but leaves stale CRE records.
  • observed — The shortlist disk cache is keyed by query text and ordered candidate IDs, without tenant, authorization, model-version, or run identity. Writes are not atomic; malformed reads become cache misses, and cached IDs are revalidated before use. Whether reuse across authorization contexts violates an ownership contract remains unresolved, so no tenant-isolation finding is asserted.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Redact connection credentials from operational output, enforce destination policy against libpq’s effective connection parameters, and require authenticated TLS for remote database connections. Use database roles limited to the required catalog operations to bound both leaked-credential and unintended-destination impact.

Please stress-test GitHub ingest

Point-and-shoot ingest is on this branch: give it a public GitHub URL → harvest markdown → Module B noise filter → print knowledge. Try to break it.

Prereq — Gemini key (required for real classification)

Module B needs GEMINI_API_KEY in a local .env (do not commit or paste keys here):

cp .env.example .env
# set: GEMINI_API_KEY=…

Sanity check (prints ok / missing, never the secret):

python -c "import os; from pathlib import Path; from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv(Path('.env')); print('ok' if os.getenv('GEMINI_API_KEY') else 'missing')"

Without a key, use --ingest_keep_all only as a last-resort offline dump — that is not a real noise-filter test.

What to run

git fetch origin && git checkout wip/oie-pipeline-eval-harness
# venv + usual local setup, then .env with GEMINI_API_KEY

make ingest URL=https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS
make ingest URL=https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/tree/master/5.0/en
./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries
python cre.py --ingest_github https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries

No key on hand (last resort):

./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS --ingest_keep_all

Make cannot take https://… as a bare goal (colon is special). Use URL= or ./scripts/ingest_github.sh.

Good looks like

  • stdout: knowledge chunks (path + text)
  • stderr: counts like files=… chunks=… knowledge=… noise=…

Please try to break it

Weird URLs, huge/tiny repos, table-heavy standards (ASVS/AISVS), re-runs, non-GitHub hosts (should fail cleanly).

How to report

Comment here with: (1) exact command (2) repo URL (3) whether GEMINI was configured — yes/no, not the key (4) expected vs actual (stderr counts + short stdout sample) (5) keep-all or not.

This is not the eval/accuracy scorer — just “does URL ingest dump useful knowledge?”

Hey everyone — we’re trying something new.

Thanks to our awesome community, a ton of work from our GSoC students, and the maintainer team, we now have a point-and-shoot way to feed a public GitHub repo into OpenCRE’s OIE pipeline and see what it keeps as security knowledge.

You can find it on the WIP PR: #1088 (branch wip/oie-pipeline-eval-harness).

This is version zero of the OWASP agent (ingest → classify → show knowledge). We’re fine-tuning toward v1 and prepping for a release around AppSec California / AppSec SF — and we want beta testers from the community to hammer it before then.

How you can help

  1. Pull the branch and set a Gemini key (needed for real KNOWLEDGE vs NOISE classification — don’t paste keys in the PR):
git fetch origin && git checkout wip/oie-pipeline-eval-harness
cp .env.example .env   # if needed
# set GEMINI_API_KEY=… in .env

Sanity check (prints ok / missing only):

python -c "import os; from pathlib import Path; from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv(Path('.env')); print('ok' if os.getenv('GEMINI_API_KEY') else 'missing')"
  1. Point it at a public GitHub repo and see what comes back:
make ingest URL=https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS
make ingest URL=https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/tree/master/5.0/en
./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries

(Make can’t take a bare https://… goal because of the colon — use URL= or ./scripts/ingest_github.sh.)

No Gemini key? Last resort only (not a real classification test):

./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS --ingest_keep_all
  1. Tell us what broke or felt wrong — comment on this PR with:
    • exact command + repo URL
    • whether GEMINI was configured (yes/no — not the key)
    • expected vs actual (stderr counts + a short stdout sample)
    • keep-all or not

Please try weird URLs, huge/tiny repos, table-heavy standards (ASVS / AISVS), re-runs, non-GitHub hosts.

This is not the accuracy/eval scorer — it’s “does URL ingest dump useful knowledge?” Thanks for beta-testing v0 with us.

Update: any LiteLLM provider / mid-size chat model

Module B already runs through LiteLLM. Ingest preflight now accepts whatever provider key matches your model — not Gemini-only.

In .env (pick a pair):

OPENAI_API_KEY=…
CRE_NOISE_FILTER_LLM_MODEL=openai/gpt-4o-mini

# or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=… + anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5
# or GEMINI_API_KEY=… + gemini/gemini-2.5-flash
# or Groq / Mistral / OpenRouter / … (see .env.example)

Or per run:

make ingest URL=https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS INGEST_ARGS='--ingest_model openai/gpt-4o-mini'
./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS --ingest_model anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5

Prefer a mid-size chat model (gpt-4o-mini, Claude Haiku/Sonnet, Gemini Flash, Llama 70B on Groq, …). Don’t paste keys in the PR.

Wording tweak for beta testers: any LiteLLM chat model works; mid-size models usually work best (cheap + reliable for the classify gate — tiny stubs can be flaky, frontier models are optional spend).

@northdpole Stress-testing --ingest_github on the current tip (394c10f), Windows, keyless (--ingest_keep_all) — hit a reproducible SQLite blocker after a clean harvest. No LLM key spent.

Command / setup

  • ./scripts/ingest_github.sh https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS --ingest_keep_all
  • Provider key: no (keep-all, offline)
  • DB: default standards_cache.sqlite, schema built with sqla.create_all() (per the Makefile note that migrations are the Postgres path and produce an incomplete SQLite cache)

Expected vs actual

  • Harvest succeeded: harvested OWASP/ASVS@master: files=236 chunks=3660

  • Then failed writing to knowledge_queue:
    sqlite3.OperationalError: too many SQL variables
    github_url_ingest.py:338 → :220 _keep_all_noise_filter → :191 session.execute(stmt)
    INSERT INTO knowledge_queue (21 cols) VALUES (…),(…),… ×3660 rows

  • 21 cols × 3660 rows ≈ 76,860 bound params, over SQLite's SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER (32766). The knowledge_queue insert (_keep_all_noise_filter) isn't chunked to respect SQLite's variable limit, so any non-tiny repo overflows it on SQLite. Postgres wouldn't hit the cap — but since the beta default DB is SQLite, --ingest_keep_all on ASVS-scale (or larger) walls off here. Batching the insert (e.g. rows-per-statement under the SQLite cap) would fix it.

Notes

  • Reached this via the tarball path (codeload .tar.gz), not git clone — so it's independent of any clone/rename step.
  • Minor: branch probe tries refs/heads/main first (404 for ASVS, default master) then falls back — non-fatal, --ingest_branch master skips the wasted request.
  • Haven't run the keyed classify path yet — a keyed ASVS run would harvest the same 3660 chunks and hit the same insert overflow, so I'll do the real KNOWLEDGE/NOISE comparison on Postgres. Flagging this first since it blocks the SQLite keep-all path testers are pointed at.

Stop using TypeError to detect allowlist support.

_retrieve_allowlist catches every TypeError from self._inner.retrieve(text, allowlist=...). A real TypeError inside an allowlist-capable retriever is therefore swallowed. The code then silently makes a second, uncaged vector search and filters its results. This hides the defect and doubles retrieval cost. It runs on every caged, relaxed, edition-retry, umbrella and pref-materialize call. Check the capability once in __init__, for example with inspect.signature(inner.retrieve).parameters, and branch on that flag.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-        try:
-            return self._inner.retrieve(text, allowlist=allowlist)  # type: ignore[call-arg]
-        except TypeError:
-            from application.utils.librarian.cre_prior import cage_candidates
-
-            audit = self._inner.retrieve(text)  # type: ignore[attr-defined]

-                update={"candidates": cage_candidates(audit.candidates, allowlist)}

Set self._inner_accepts_allowlist in __init__ with "allowlist" in inspect.signature(inner.retrieve).parameters.

26-50: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Merge the two rankings by rank, not by raw cosine.

merge_cre_audits keeps the higher raw score_vector and sorts on it. The two score sets come from different indexes:

  • Standard-node prose cosines.
  • CRE-hub cosines.

These scores are not calibrated against each other. dual_index_retriever.py states the same problem for its own pools. If one pool produces systematically higher cosines, that pool takes the top of the shortlist.

Reciprocal Rank Fusion avoids comparing raw scores. The score is sum(1/(k + rank)) with k=60. Keep score_vector unchanged for audit purposes.

This follows the retrieved learning: "use Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to merge ranked result lists… Flag hybrid search implementations that directly combine raw similarity scores."

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The broader retry scope sends duplicate LLM calls through the extra_try_kwargs fallback.

with_rate_limit_retry now retries transient errors, and it sleeps CRE_LLM_RETRY_SLEEP_SECONDS (default 15s) between attempts. The classifier matches on substrings such as "timeout" in an exception class name or message. A request-validation error whose message contains "timeout" will therefore be retried. That retry repeats the same deterministic failure and adds 30s of delay. Narrow the message tokens so a word like "timeout" in a parameter-validation message does not trigger a retry, or rely on exception types first.

The log format has a second problem. It reads "%s limited during %s", so a connection reset is logged as "transient limited". Change the wording.

Proposed log wording
-                "%s limited during %s; sleeping %ss (attempt %s/%s): %s",
+                "%s error during %s; sleeping %ss (attempt %s/%s): %s",

An empty allowlist runs an unrestricted global search.

Both retrievers test if allowlist:. frozenset() is falsy, so an empty cage takes the unrestricted branch and returns the global top-K. In PgVectorRetriever.retrieve, the if not ids: early return at Lines 282-288 can never run. The docstring says an empty set returns an empty audit, but the code does the opposite.

The expected behavior is:

  • allowlist=None means no cage.
  • An empty allowlist means no CRE is allowed, so the result must be empty.

HubLeafCageRetriever guards against an empty cage before it calls the inner retriever. Other wrappers, such as PriorCagedRetriever and future callers, do not get that guard. For those callers, an empty cage silently leaks out-of-cage candidates.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

score_rerank now holds hybrid scores, but the C.3 scaler expects raw CE logits.

score_rerank is now one of two values:

  • The hybrid score α·vector + β·title + γ·minmax(CE).
  • The CE logit plus the title boost.

In the default configuration, HYBRID_WHEN_LE=20 equals top_k_retrieval=20, so every shortlist uses the hybrid path.

pipeline.py (Lines 432-452) builds ce_logits from score_rerank and passes them to self._scaler.confidence. The comment there says "Confidence stays on CE logits (fitted T)". That comment is no longer true. T was fitted on raw MiniLM logits.

The hybrid values have a different, compressed range. minmax always sets the top CE value to 1.0. The softmax confidence is therefore uncalibrated, and the τ=0.8 auto-link decision is applied to a different quantity.

Keep the raw CE logit in score_rerank, and sort on score_hybrid. The CreCandidate schema already defines score_hybrid. An alternative is to refit T on the hybrid scores.

🐛 Proposed fix
         reranked = [
-            c.model_copy(update={"score_rerank": float(s)})

Update the reranking assignment in the function containing `use_hybrid` to
preserve each raw `ce_scores` value in `score_rerank` and store the computed
`final` value in `score_hybrid`; sort the reranked candidates by `score_hybrid`
so ranking uses the computed scores while confidence calibration retains raw CE

Reject near-exact matches that share no tokens.

The near-exact branch compares raw strings with name in key or key in name. This is a character-substring test, not a token test. A 4-character CRE name such as data matches the title key metadata protection. _token_f1 then returns 0.0, and the code still appends the CRE to ranked. PriorCagedRetriever puts every exact_ids entry into preferred (tier 2, +0.18 boost). The unrelated CRE then outranks all prior-caged hits, and pref-materialize can pull it back in if it was missing.

Skip candidates whose token F1 is 0.0.

Include CRE records missing from a partial embedding index.

If the clone has embeddings for some CREs but not others, cre_texts is nonempty and this fallback never adds the missing records. inject_cre_summaries iterates only cre_texts, so those CREs receive no summary cache file. Merge missing canonical CRE IDs from records into cre_texts while retaining existing embedding text.

Update the `cre_texts` construction in the summary generation flow to add
canonical CRE IDs from `records` that are absent, even when `cre_texts` already
contains embedding text. Preserve existing embedding text for IDs already

Do not map GitHub tree/ URLs to raw content.

A directory tree/ URL can map to a raw URL that returns a 404. get_content then loads that same raw URL with Playwright. The resulting short 404 body is classified as a stub, not rejected, so generate_embeddings can embed it instead of using the original GitHub directory page. The stored-fields fallback does not run because the 404 body is non-empty.

Map only blob/ URLs. Update the tree test to expect None.

PostgreSQL 16 libpq sslmode prefer require verify-full client certificate hostname verification official documentation

💡 Result:

Inspection citation: inspection_5a5b06af41c79639e5213417de564dd8

For **PostgreSQL 16 libpq**, these settings control **verification of the server**, not whether the server verifies a client certificate:

| `sslmode` | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `prefer` (default) | Try TLS first, then fall back to non-TLS. Does **not** verify the server certificate or hostname. |
| `require` | Require TLS. By default, does **not** verify the server certificate; if a root CA file is present, libpq verifies it as with `verify-ca`. |
| `verify-full` | Require TLS, verify the server certificate against a trusted CA, and verify the requested hostname matches the certificate. | ([postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/libpq-connect.html?utm_source=openai))

For hostname verification, use `sslmode=verify-full` with a trusted CA configured via `sslrootcert` (or the system trust store). The hostname used for verification must be available; `hostaddr` alone is insufficient. ([postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/libpq-connect.html?utm_source=openai))

A **client certificate** is separate: set `sslcert` and `sslkey` to provide one. To require the server to request a client certificate, libpq 16 also supports `sslcertmode=require`; however, the server must be configured to validate and require it—typically with `clientcert=verify-ca` or `verify-full` in a matching `hostssl` rule, or `cert` authentication. ([postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/libpq-connect.html?utm_source=openai))

**Practical choice:** use `sslmode=verify-full` for server identity and hostname verification; configure server-side client-certificate validation separately if mutual TLS is required.

💡 Result:

Inspection citation: inspection_36f09aed4e4e0b5da73f16c400a2d793

For **PostgreSQL 16 libpq**:

- `prefer` (the default) tries SSL first, then falls back to a non-SSL connection.
- `require` uses SSL only. If a root CA file is present, it also verifies the certificate as `verify-ca` would.
- `verify-full` uses SSL only, verifies the certificate against a trusted CA, **and** checks that the requested hostname matches the certificate. ([postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/libpq-connect.html?utm_source=openai))

So, **`prefer` and `require` do not normally verify the hostname; `verify-full` does.** Note the documented CA-file exception for `require`.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-295 — Improper Certificate Validation

Require authenticated TLS for every remote source connection. Unless another libpq setting supplies a stronger mode, a remote URL without sslmode uses the prefer default, which can fall back to plaintext. The AWS/Heroku branch adds only require; by default, that mode does not verify the server certificate, and even with a trusted CA it does not verify the hostname. An on-path attacker can downgrade a prefer connection or impersonate a server when its identity is not verified, exposing CRE data and potentially credentials. Require and validate an effective sslmode=verify-full with trusted CA configuration for remote sources.

Stop after a refused redirect.

If this check rejects a redirect, _fetch_plain_http_text returns None. in_memory_embeddings.get_content then retries the original URL through page.goto, which follows redirects without this allowlist. A GitHub raw URL that redirects to a prohibited host can therefore make the browser fetch that host. Return a distinct rejection result and prevent the Playwright fallback for rejected redirects. (playwright.dev)

Based on learnings, redirect targets must pass the same allowlist before the client fetches them.

Inspect the full section before returning a clean safety verdict.

If an instruction to manipulate CRE links appears after character 6,000, the classifier never sees it. The pipeline can then auto-link the section on a clean verdict. Classify every part of the section, or treat an uninspected remainder as unevaluated rather than clean.

Require both safety flags to be JSON booleans.

If the model returns only {"adversarial": false}, this parser marks the verdict evaluated even though update_ambiguous is absent. If it returns "false" as a string, bool("false") incorrectly sets the flag. Reject incomplete or wrong-typed verdicts as unevaluated.

Do not log the raw model response.

If an unparseable response repeats section text, this warning writes up to 200 characters of that text to logs. Log the chunk ID and parse failure without the response body.

Validate each destination host separately.

For postgresql:///cre?host=%2Ftmp%2Cdb.example.com, parse_qs produces /tmp,db.example.com. The startswith("/") check accepts the entire value as local. Libpq treats it as two hosts and can connect to db.example.com if the socket is unavailable. With valid credentials, the script can replace embeddings on that remote database without --allow-remote-destination. Split and validate every effective host, or reject multi-host destinations.

Tested in WSL Ubuntu with PostgreSQL running in Docker.

1. Initial tests (without an API key; on b3ee742f = stack/oie-p2-harvester, which includes wip/oie-pipeline-eval-harness at 6b95fa14)

  • Juice Shop: 44 files, 366 chunks → 366 KNOWLEDGE records using --ingest_keep_all. This bypasses LLM classification.
  • ASVS (PostgreSQL): harvested 3,660 chunks but produced zero corresponding knowledge_queue records, leaving harvested inputs pending. The output showed a large INSERT ... ON CONFLICT operation, but the underlying exception wasn't captured, so the cause is undetermined.
  • Repos tried: Juice Shop (keep-all worked), ASVS (see above), NodeGoat and CheatSheetSeries (didn't complete here: archive downloads timed out on my connection), and a GitLab URL (rejected as unsupported, GitHub-only, as expected).

2. Keyed ingestion (Groq)

Keyed ingestion (no --ingest_keep_all) fails on my checkout (b3ee742f):

ImportError: cannot import name 'has_credentials_for_model' from 'application.prompt_client.litellm_router'
(raised at github_url_ingest.py:402)

I looked for a branch where the keyed path works:

  • has_credentials_for_model isn't defined (checked litellm_router.py) on wip/oie-pipeline-eval-harness, stack/oie-p2…p7, feat/oie-rq-fanout, cursor/owasp-agent-oie-a097, fix/owasp-agent-probe-gaps or main. The three newest of those still reference it in github_url_ingest.py.
  • The only definition I found is commit 1bafa1ea ("Module B ingest accepts any LiteLLM provider key/model"), which is only on exp/dual-index-and-name-packer. That matches your update about accepting any LiteLLM provider key, but I couldn't find it on the PR branch.
  • On that branch (b0e5e65b) the ingest fails earlier, at github_url_ingest.py:293, with a ValidationError: ChunkingConfig (extra="forbid") rejects requirement_extract, which line 298 passes as "auto". Commit 886bae9f added that field, but it's absent from schemas.py at the tip.

So I couldn’t find a pushed branch where the keyed path runs end to end. Which branch or commit should I use for keyed testing?

Dual-index retrieval, CRE summaries, prior cage, hub seed, edition remap,
and related librarian defaults. Rewrites #1088 as the reviewable base; later
stacked PRs add harvester, B2 eval, fixtures, mappings, and full-pipeline docs.
- Refuse plain-text fetch redirects that leave GitHub raw hosts (SSRF).
- Re-check expected embedding dimension on query-cache hits.
- Fill phrase-only oie blocks in apply_oie_fill_if_missing without losing phrases.
- Expose last_preferred_cre_ids on StandardHopRetriever and honour its allowlist.
- Commit each metadata enrichment so a later failure cannot roll back earlier work.
- Load .env from the repo root in the enrichment scripts.
- Parse hostnames for CRE hub sync SSL and loopback checks; batch SQLite IN
  lookups; stop echoing database credentials.
Wire LlmSafetyGuard (LiteLLM) as the live factory default so runs evaluate
safety instead of NullSafetyGuard. Apply the guard on every decision path,
prefer safety reason codes over empty shortlists, and cover a synthetic
adversarial corpus in unit tests.
