📄 Description

Summary

Add review_native_vulnerabilities, a provider-neutral MCP prompt for static native-binary vulnerability triage. It composes existing analysis tools and keeps observed paths, inferred input controllability, mitigation inferences, and unknowns distinct.

Fixes #4248

Problem and expected behavior

REA already has static native-analysis tools, but MCP clients lack a bounded starting workflow for vulnerability triage. The prompt makes the evidence needed for a finding explicit, labels controllability, CWE, and severity as inferences, and leaves missing paths or mitigation facts unknown.

Change and scope

• Add a prompt contract with required review_focus and optional target_path, document, procedure, and provider_id; existing completion kinds are used where available.
• Compose existing static inspection and tracing tools, with record_unknown for gaps. Fetching the prompt itself invokes no analysis tools; following it does not execute or modify the analyzed target.
• Require evidence citations, confidence-qualified inferences, explicit unknowns, and defensive remediation guidance; exclude exploit steps, payloads, runtime analysis, Frida, debugger, and raw-command guidance.
• Document the prompt and add boundary tests for required arguments and completions, allowed tools and effects, expected wording, and fetch-time non-execution.
• Scope fit: existing prompt and static-analysis capabilities; no new execution authority or maintainer scope decision required.

Contract and boundary impact

• Semantic owner and earliest changed stage: MCP prompt contract in src/contracts/promptContracts.ts, rendered through the existing prompt registration path.
• Contribution scope fit and linked maintainer decision: within current static, target-non-mutating analysis scope; not applicable.
• CLI and MCP/tool-catalog contract: adds one MCP prompt; no CLI or tool-schema change. Prompt catalog identity changes, and connected clients may need a restart to refresh it.
• Provider, bridge, target-format, or platform compatibility: provider-neutral; uses existing provider-backed tools only.
• Evidence, artifact, provenance, or reconstruction contract: separates tool-observed paths from inferences and Unknowns; record_unknown records missing evidence in the REA session. Does not change artifact provenance or reconstruction behavior.
• Target selection, authority, upstream behavior, and cleanup details: operates on existing or opened static artifacts; no process launch, instrumentation, runtime execution, or target mutation.
• Generated metadata: no checked-in generated catalog or package metadata changed; runtime prompt catalog identity changes.

Expected effects (check known effects; unchecked items do not establish absence).

• Read existing files or captured data.
• Launch or attach to a process.
• Inject instrumentation or run scripts/code.
• Change process memory, registers, files, or configuration.
• Contact network services.
• Recover protected code or work around protections.
• Documentation or usability only; no target interaction.
• Not sure yet; investigation or maintainer guidance needed.

Evidence and regression coverage

• Tests added or updated: tests/boundary/mcp/promptMcp.test.ts covers required arguments and completions, guidance wording, the allowed tool inventory and effects, and that prompt retrieval invokes no analysis.
• Base reproduction or other evidence: feature acceptance checks exercise the rendered prompt; no base failure applies.
• User-visible CLI/MCP output: no CLI change; MCP prompt rendering is covered by the boundary test.
• Remaining proof gaps: the issue's manual Ghidra/ELF scenario was not run because Ghidra and an ELF compiler were unavailable; no live-provider session was run.

For evidence-bearing changes:

• Observed, derived, and inferred claims remain distinguishable.
• Artifact identity, source provenance, and failed attempts remain preserved.
• Unsupported, incomplete, unavailable, or uncertain outcomes remain visible.

Validation performed

• npm run test:focused -- tests/boundary/mcp/promptMcp.test.ts — 10/10 passed.
• npm run check:fast — passed; build completed with two existing INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT warnings.
• npm run docs:check — passed; README consistency test 5/5 passed.

Compatibility, safety, and release

• Breaking changes or migration steps: none intended. Adding a prompt changes prompt catalog identity; connected clients may need a restart to refresh it.
• Real Hopper/Ghidra, browser, or OS coverage: the manual Ghidra/ELF workflow was not run; Ghidra and an ELF compiler were unavailable in the available environment.
• Package or release metadata impact: no package version or generated metadata changes; the runtime prompt catalog identity changes.
• Security, privacy, process, or containment review: static guidance only; no execution, injection, or target mutation. The prompt excludes exploit construction details. Prepared with AI assistance for human review.

Before merge

• This PR addresses a concrete problem or an agreed enhancement.
• Material scope and authority questions are resolved, and any required maintainer scope decision covers the final diff.
• The PR has one focused outcome and the title follows type(scope): outcome.
• Related issue is linked, or the reason for not linking one is stated above.
• Tests cover changed observable behavior and meaningful failure paths.
• Owning docs, contracts, and generated metadata are updated where needed.
• User-visible CLI/MCP changes include representative output.
• I checked the final diff for secrets, unrelated cleanup, and unsupported claims.
