Observed behavior
After an IDA headless session successfully returns Evidence with a concrete analysis profile, a failed decompilation returns partial Evidence with
analysis_profile: null. The partial record retains the completed function lookup but loses the session's known compatibility, mode and registration commitment. This was observed through REA's production stdio MCP entry point with a simulated database-supervisor provider.Reproduction
Use the already built baseline checkout and pinned Node.js stated in the REA version and Runtime and platform fields. This reproduction uses no real IDA engine or external service. Save the following as
profile-repro.mjsin a disposable directory outside the checkout, setREPROto that file, and runnode "$REPRO" "$PWD"from the checkout root. The script creates its fixture, isolated HOME and provider workspace beside itself, closes the session, and removes those generated resources.The successful
procedure_addresscall is the same-session control. The followingprocedure_pseudo_codecall reaches a completed upstreamlookup_funcsreply before the simulator deliberately returns an MCP tool error fordecompile. The script prints both the successful profile and the profile on the failure's partial Evidence. It asserts admission, the successful lookup, the error envelope, the retained lookup and cleanup; inspect the printed profile values to observe this defect.Expected behavior
The partial Evidence should carry the already resolved session profile, including its profile digest and registration commitment, just as the successful lookup does. A failed upstream decompile should still produce an error and partial coverage. Preserving the known profile must leave the unverified post-operation target binding explicit. Null remains appropriate when no profile is known.
Impact and scope
An affected partial observation loses known analysis-configuration provenance and the commitment that contributes to semantic identity. The observed scope is a failed headless decompile after a completed lookup; successful Evidence retains its profile, and the failed operation remains an explicit error with partial coverage. No severe harm or incorrect successful analysis was observed.
A consumer might retain the session profile separately, but no caller workflow was verified that restores the missing profile commitment in the partial Evidence itself.

Relevant output or evidence
AGENTS.md, Product and Authority and Architecture and Cleanup, requires preserving Evidence provenance, session semantics, identity and uncertainty across boundaries.docs/mcp-contracts.md:16makes the analysis profile part of Evidence semantic identity;docs/mcp-contracts.md:390specifies the immutable selected provider and complete analysis profile on a successful deep open.docs/ida-provider.md, Give REA a target for headless analysis, documents the selected database-supervisor mode. Null is allowed in the Evidence shape, but the same-session successful control establishes that the profile is known in this case.src/ida/IdaProvider.ts:184supplies the resolved profile to the session client;src/ida/IdaSessionClient.ts:334retains it for successful execution, while the guarded partial-Evidence constructor atsrc/ida/IdaSessionClient.ts:468omits it.src/domain/evidence.ts:411then defaults the omitted value to null.The contract violation is loss of known provenance, not rejection by a JSON schema. The partial observation retains its completed lookup and pre-operation metadata, so this report does not claim that all lifecycle or identity observations disappear. Source inspection explains the omission; the public MCP response establishes that it reaches the caller.
One local execution reproduced the defect. The successful Evidence contained the headless database-supervisor profile, its registration digest and its profile digest. The failed call returned
unreadable_outputwith nostructuredContent; its text diagnostic contained partial Evidence whoseanalysis_profilewas null. Selected fields from the observed output were:The session close succeeded, the MCP process exited with code 0, and the reproduction command exited 0. The upstream decompiler error is intentional fixture behavior. The REA defect is the omission of the known profile from the resulting partial Evidence, not failure to decompile. This result does not establish real IDA engine behavior, other compatibility modes, or other failure variants.
Typed outcome or recovery expected
Repeat the same-session successful lookup and deliberate failed decompile. The failure's partial Evidence should contain the same resolved profile and digest as the successful Evidence, including the registration commitment. It should still report
unreadable_output, retain only completed upstream observations, keepstatus: partial, preserve the deliberate failure reason, and keep the post-operation target binding unverified. Separately preserve the legitimate null-profile case when the client has no supplied profile. These are proposed acceptance checks; no fix or restoration test was performed for this report.Analysis or suspected cause
The source references above explain the observed behavior. Runtime claims are limited to the explicitly described simulation boundaries.
Additional context
Runtime claims above describe the supplied local reproduction at the baseline commit. Real-provider frequency remains unmeasured.
The relevant failure code is unchanged on current
origin/mainfc712b3750.@XinwangTao commented on GitHub (Oct 15, 2026):
Agreed: the analysis_profile is a session-level fact already established by the successful prior call, so nulling it in the failed decompilation partial Evidence erases known context and makes the partial record less useful for reconstruction. Keeping the known compatibility/mode/registration while marking the decompilation itself failed is more faithful to what was observed.
@yankikucuk commented on GitHub (Oct 15, 2026):
Working on this. Reproduced with your stdio probe: the successful lookup carried the headless profile while the partial Evidence of the failed decompile had
analysis_profile: null. The session client's partial Evidence constructor now passes the same resolved profile commitment the successful path uses (null stays when no profile was supplied). The probe reports equal profile digests on both records withunreadable_output, the retainedlookup_funcsreply,status: partialand the unverified target binding unchanged. Draft PR follows shortly.@XinwangTao commented on GitHub (Oct 16, 2026):
yankikucuk, the fix matches the observation — the partial Evidence should carry the same resolved profile commitment as the successful path, and keeping null only when no profile was supplied is the right default. Verifying equal profile digests across both records closes the regression loop nicely. Will review the draft.
@XinwangTao commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2026):
Glad to see #4645 merged and the issue closed. The partial Evidence now retains the resolved profile commitment with the same digest as the successful path, while null is reserved for the genuinely profile-less case — that keeps the reconstruction provenance intact without masking the failed decompilation. The related late-cancelled variant in #5109 also looks like the same class of defect; worth confirming it follows the same constructor path.
