Overview

Perform phase 3.3 deep analysis of an in-scope attack surface for a threat model. USE WHEN the orientation brief is ready and code must be read to derive the §1.7 per-input trust table and contract-dimension matrix, §1.5 no-surprise side-effects inventory, §1.4 reachability preconditions, and §1.8 output taint. Reads public entry points for contract rather than defects, timeboxes each component family, and marks uncovered surface inferred. Produces a surface analysis. Read-only. DO NOT USE FOR: bug hunting, code review, orientation, or drafting the prose model.

Threat Model — Surface (deep pass on the in-scope surface)

Phase 3.3. The orient pass was minutes; this is hours, and that is expected. Three of the output's most valuable artifacts cannot be produced any other way:

the per-input-operand trust table (§1.7), which requires reading each in-scope entry point far enough to say which direct parameters and indirect inputs an attacker can reach and what the caller must enforce; and
the contract-dimension matrix (§1.7-§1.12), which prevents silence about failure behavior, representational limits, executable collaborators, object topology, and lifecycle edge cases from becoming downstream MODEL-GAP findings; and
the no-surprise side-effects inventory (§1.5) — negative claims about what the project does to its host that cannot be established by reading docs.

Read principles.md and the §1.5 / §1.7 / §1.8 specs in output-structure.md first.

Rules for keeping the cost bounded

Scope by the recon carve. Read only the entry points of in-model families. Do not read contrib/, examples, or out-of-scope families beyond confirming they are separable.
Read for contract, not for bugs. At each entry point the question is "which of these parameters can an attacker control, what kind of control is it, and what contract applies at edge conditions?" — not "is this code correct?" Record whether behavior is guaranteed, disclaimed, or unresolved; do not test whether the implementation satisfies it. The moment the reading turns into review, stop and move on.
Timebox per family. If a family's surface is too large to table in budget (e.g., a service with 100+ routes), table the highest-exposure subset, mark the remainder (inferred, QN) with a coverage note, and raise completing the table as an open question / follow-up — do not silently generalize.
Record hypotheses as you go, in draft form with provenance tags. Preserve documented provenance for explicit normative public contracts. Code, implementation comments, and tests that merely suggest an unwritten contract remain (inferred, QN) until a maintainer ratifies them.
Read code as a behavioural oracle, not just as a second-class doc. Mining comments and headers tells you what the project says; it cannot tell you where a guarantee stops. Every security-critical property needs its off-switches found by reading statements: the API call that relaxes a check, the flag that removes one, the mode that trades it for speed. Cite each as <file>:<line> at the statement that implements it. A comment describing the function does not qualify — the check that matters may have no comment at all, which is exactly why comment-harvesting misses it. These are easy to walk past because they are not input operands: no attacker-controlled parameter appears, so an input-shaped reading of the API sees nothing. They are property switches. Grep for names built on validate, undermine, relax, skip, permit, trust, unsafe, strict, and sane, then read what each one assigns.
Search the whole shipped build, not the files you happen to have open. Scope every switch hunt to the source set the supported build compiles — including the build scripts, which is where platform-conditional and default-on options live. A search restricted to the public header and one implementation file will miss a compile-time switch that replaces an entire function, and it will miss it silently.
Report a negative as a command plus its result, so the next reader can re-run it in one paste: grep -rn 'PATTERN' <file set> — N hits, all in X. "I searched and found nothing" is not reviewable and has been wrong every time it has been checked.
Cite harder before tagging inferred. Before marking a row inferred, check the API docs, header comments, Javadoc/package-info, manpage, and README — a fact stated there is (documented, source), not inferred. Turning a false-inferred into a true-documented row is pure accuracy and directly reduces the escalation count.
Disclaim demonstrably-absent guarantees rather than leaving them open. When the reading shows a family makes no thread-safety, resource-bound, or failure-atomicity guarantee, that absence is verifiable — record the matrix row as disclaimed with (documented, source), routing to §1.12, not as unresolved. Reserve unresolved / inferred for dimensions where a guarantee plausibly exists but you could not confirm it. Where you must reason past the verifiable to a clear safe default, tag (assumption, QN) rather than (inferred, QN).

Build the per-input-operand trust table (§1.7)

One row per direct parameter and each security-relevant indirect input of every public entry point:

Function	Input operand	Attacker-controllable?	Control kind	Caller must enforce	Provenance
`gzopen`	`path`	no — trusted caller string	data, resource-name	path sanitization	(documented, gzopen contract)
`gzread`	file contents	yes	data, size	output buffer >= `len`	(inferred, Q4)
`gzprintf`	`format`	no — trusted literal	x-format-string	never source from input	(inferred, Q5)

For a network service, the first column is the route/endpoint or protocol message (POST /v1/configuration, Handshake frame), and rows must cover headers and connection metadata as well as bodies — header-presence checks (X-Forwarded-*, auth tokens) are common false friends. Group rows by component family if the table grows large. Prose is not sufficient: tool/AI findings are reported against specific sinks, and the triager must look up the exact parameter.

Do not collapse all control into a boolean. Use one or more control kinds: data, size/rate, type/class, callback/code, object-graph topology, collaborator implementation, resource-name, serialized state, or a project-specific x- kind. Distinguish an attacker choosing data passed through a trusted callback from an attacker choosing the callback itself.

Also capture size/shape/rate assumptions (bounded? streaming? memory-mapped?), and flag any input whose magnitude drives resource allocation (memory, threads, file handles) — that feeds the §1.11 resource-property threshold.

Build the contract-dimension matrix (§1.7-§1.12)

For every in-scope component family, fill every applicable row. A blank cell is not allowed:

Dimension	Status	Conditions / boundary	Routes to	Provenance
numeric domain and representational limits	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	maximum size, overflow behavior, normalization domain	§1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited documented/maintainer source
failure and exception atomicity	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	state after validation or callback failure	§1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
recursive or cyclic topology	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	self-reference, graph depth, reentrancy	§1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
callback and collaborator execution	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	comparator, predicate, factory, virtual dispatch	§1.7 / §1.10 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
serialization and reconstruction	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	restored types, callbacks, invariant rebuilding	§1.3 / §1.7 / §1.10 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
reference and object lifecycle	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	weak/soft references, GC clearing, invalidation	§1.5 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
concurrency and reentrancy	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	shared mutation, callback reentry	§1.5 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source
resource complexity	claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved	CPU, heap, stack, I/O as a function of input/state	§1.7 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18	(inferred, QN) or cited source

Add project-type rows when needed, such as Unicode/canonicalization, probabilistic-result semantics, protocol state transitions, clock behavior, or distributed consistency. The matrix is a contract inventory, not a bug list. A demonstrably-absent guarantee is a disclaimed row with documented provenance; only a dimension where a guarantee might exist stays unresolved and becomes a proposed-answer question for the interview. A guarantee "might exist" when the project has historically fixed reports of that class, or when a documented guarantee already implies it — in that case narrow the claimed row rather than disclaiming. Record the disclaimer's conditions and tier (see §1.12): a disclaimer with no boundary is the one that over-closes, and the tier is the worst impact of a report the disclaimer would close.

For stateful APIs, explicitly record the postcondition on failure: unchanged, partially committed, best-effort cleanup, or unspecified. Cover failures from validation, allocation, caller callbacks, and delegated collaborator methods.

Build the no-surprise side-effects inventory (§1.5)

Scan for what the project does to its host, then state the negative claims: does it open sockets? spawn processes? install signal handlers? read environment variables? write to stdout/stderr? touch global locale or FPU state? mutate process-wide state?

Tag these by how good your scan was, not by a default. A negative here says no such behaviour was observed; the project has not promised to keep it that way, so it is a §1.5 inventory row rather than a documented contract:

(assumption, QN) when you scanned the shipped sources of the supported build exhaustively and found nothing. Name what you searched.
(inferred, QN) when the scan could not be exhaustive — hand-written assembly, generated code, dlopen or another dynamic dispatch, an #ifdef branch you did not read, or a dependency that could do it on the project's behalf. Name the specific hole in the question, so the maintainer knows what you could not see.

Do not pre-label the whole inventory inferred before scanning. A negative you actually verified across the supported build is worth more to a triager than a blanket hedge, and the difference is exactly what the maintainer is being asked to ratify.

Derive reachability preconditions (§1.4) and output taint (§1.8)

Per in-model family, state the condition a finding must meet to matter ("a finding in inflate.c is in-model only if reachable from the compressed input bytes"). This is the first test a triager applies to a tool/AI hit.
Per output channel, state taint. The default for parsers/decoders/decompressors is one line worth stating verbatim: "Output is exactly as untrusted as the input it derives from; no sanitization, normalization, or encoding is performed." Note any structural invariant the code actually upholds (bounded writes, va

# Threat Model — Surface (deep pass on the in-scope surface)

Phase 3.3. The orient pass was minutes; this is **hours, and that is expected**.
Three of the output's most valuable artifacts cannot be produced any other way:

- the **per-input-operand trust table** (§1.7), which requires reading each
  in-scope entry point far enough to say which direct parameters and indirect
  inputs an attacker can reach and what the caller must enforce; and
- the **contract-dimension matrix** (§1.7-§1.12), which prevents silence about
  failure behavior, representational limits, executable collaborators, object
  topology, and lifecycle edge cases from becoming downstream `MODEL-GAP`
  findings; and
- the **no-surprise side-effects inventory** (§1.5) — negative claims about what
  the project does to its host that cannot be established by reading docs.

Read [principles.md](../threat-model/references/principles.md) and the §1.5 /
§1.7 / §1.8 specs in
[output-structure.md](../threat-model/references/output-structure.md) first.

## Rules for keeping the cost bounded

- **Scope by the recon carve.** Read only the entry points of in-model families.
  Do not read `contrib/`, examples, or out-of-scope families beyond confirming
  they are separable.
- **Read for contract, not for bugs.** At each entry point the question is
  *"which of these parameters can an attacker control, what kind of control is
  it, and what contract applies at edge conditions?"* — not *"is this code
  correct?"* Record whether behavior is guaranteed, disclaimed, or unresolved;
  do not test whether the implementation satisfies it. The moment the reading
  turns into review, **stop** and move on.
- **Timebox per family.** If a family's surface is too large to table in budget
  (e.g., a service with 100+ routes), table the highest-exposure subset, mark the
  remainder *(inferred, QN)* with a coverage note, and raise completing the table as
  an open question / follow-up — do **not** silently generalize.
- **Record hypotheses as you go**, in draft form with provenance tags. Preserve
  **documented** provenance for explicit normative public contracts. Code,
  implementation comments, and tests that merely suggest an unwritten contract
  remain *(inferred, QN)* until a maintainer ratifies them.
- **Read code as a behavioural oracle, not just as a second-class doc.** Mining
  comments and headers tells you what the project *says*; it cannot tell you
  where a guarantee stops. Every `security-critical` property needs its
  **off-switches** found by reading statements: the API call that relaxes a
  check, the flag that removes one, the mode that trades it for speed. Cite each
  as `<file>:<line>` at the statement that implements it. A comment describing
  the function does not qualify — the check that matters may have no comment at
  all, which is exactly why comment-harvesting misses it.
  These are easy to walk past because they are **not input operands**: no
  attacker-controlled parameter appears, so an input-shaped reading of the API
  sees nothing. They are property switches. Grep for names built on *validate*,
  *undermine*, *relax*, *skip*, *permit*, *trust*, *unsafe*, *strict*, and
  *sane*, then read what each one assigns.
- **Search the whole shipped build, not the files you happen to have open.**
  Scope every switch hunt to the source set the supported build compiles —
  including the build scripts, which is where platform-conditional and
  default-on options live. A search restricted to the public header and one
  implementation file will miss a compile-time switch that replaces an entire
  function, and it will miss it silently.
- **Report a negative as a command plus its result**, so the next reader can
  re-run it in one paste: `grep -rn 'PATTERN' <file set>` — *N hits, all in X*.
  "I searched and found nothing" is not reviewable and has been wrong every
  time it has been checked.
- **Cite harder before tagging inferred.** Before marking a row **inferred**,
  check the API docs, header comments, Javadoc/`package-info`, manpage, and
  `README` — a fact stated there is *(documented, source)*, not inferred. Turning
  a false-inferred into a true-documented row is pure accuracy and directly
  reduces the escalation count.
- **Disclaim demonstrably-absent guarantees rather than leaving them open.** When
  the reading shows a family makes **no** thread-safety, resource-bound, or
  failure-atomicity guarantee, that absence is verifiable — record the matrix row
  as `disclaimed` with *(documented, source)*, routing to §1.12, not as
  `unresolved`. Reserve `unresolved` / **inferred** for dimensions where a
  guarantee **plausibly exists** but you could not confirm it. Where you must
  reason past the verifiable to a clear safe default, tag *(assumption, QN)*
  rather than *(inferred, QN)*.

## Build the per-input-operand trust table (§1.7)

One row per direct parameter and each security-relevant indirect input of every
public entry point:

| Function | Input operand | Attacker-controllable? | Control kind | Caller must enforce | Provenance |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `gzopen` | `path` | no — trusted caller string | data, resource-name | path sanitization | *(documented, gzopen contract)* |
| `gzread` | file contents | **yes** | data, size | output buffer >= `len` | *(inferred, Q4)* |
| `gzprintf` | `format` | no — trusted literal | x-format-string | never source from input | *(inferred, Q5)* |

For a **network service**, the first column is the route/endpoint or protocol
message (`POST /v1/configuration`, `Handshake` frame), and rows must cover
**headers and connection metadata** as well as bodies — header-presence checks
(`X-Forwarded-*`, auth tokens) are common false friends. Group rows by component
family if the table grows large. Prose is not sufficient: tool/AI findings are
reported against specific sinks, and the triager must look up the exact parameter.

Do not collapse all control into a boolean. Use one or more **control kinds**:
`data`, `size/rate`, `type/class`, `callback/code`, `object-graph topology`,
`collaborator implementation`, `resource-name`, `serialized state`, or a
project-specific `x-` kind. Distinguish an attacker choosing data passed
through a trusted callback from an attacker choosing the callback itself.

Also capture size/shape/rate assumptions (bounded? streaming? memory-mapped?),
and flag any input whose magnitude drives resource allocation (memory, threads,
file handles) — that feeds the §1.11 resource-property threshold.

## Build the contract-dimension matrix (§1.7-§1.12)

For every in-scope component family, fill every applicable row. A blank cell is
not allowed:

| Dimension | Status | Conditions / boundary | Routes to | Provenance |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| numeric domain and representational limits | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | maximum size, overflow behavior, normalization domain | §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited documented/maintainer source |
| failure and exception atomicity | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | state after validation or callback failure | §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| recursive or cyclic topology | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | self-reference, graph depth, reentrancy | §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| callback and collaborator execution | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | comparator, predicate, factory, virtual dispatch | §1.7 / §1.10 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| serialization and reconstruction | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | restored types, callbacks, invariant rebuilding | §1.3 / §1.7 / §1.10 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| reference and object lifecycle | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | weak/soft references, GC clearing, invalidation | §1.5 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| concurrency and reentrancy | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | shared mutation, callback reentry | §1.5 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |
| resource complexity | claimed / disclaimed / N/A / unresolved | CPU, heap, stack, I/O as a function of input/state | §1.7 / §1.11 / §1.12 / §1.18 | *(inferred, QN)* or cited source |

Add project-type rows when needed, such as Unicode/canonicalization,
probabilistic-result semantics, protocol state transitions, clock behavior, or
distributed consistency. The matrix is a contract inventory, not a bug list.
A demonstrably-absent guarantee is a `disclaimed` row with **documented**
provenance; only a dimension where a guarantee might exist stays `unresolved`
and becomes a proposed-answer question for the interview. A guarantee "might
exist" when the project has historically fixed reports of that class, or when a
documented guarantee already implies it — in that case narrow the `claimed` row
rather than disclaiming. Record the disclaimer's **conditions and tier** (see
§1.12): a disclaimer with no boundary is the one that over-closes, and the tier
is the worst impact of a report the disclaimer would close.

For stateful APIs, explicitly record the **postcondition on failure**: unchanged,
partially committed, best-effort cleanup, or unspecified. Cover failures from
validation, allocation, caller callbacks, and delegated collaborator methods.

## Build the no-surprise side-effects inventory (§1.5)

Scan for what the project does to its host, then state the **negative** claims:
does it open sockets? spawn processes? install signal handlers? read environment
variables? write to stdout/stderr? touch global locale or FPU state? mutate
process-wide state?

**Tag these by how good your scan was, not by a default.** A negative here says
no such behaviour was *observed*; the project has not promised to keep it that
way, so it is a §1.5 inventory row rather than a documented contract:

- *(assumption, QN)* when you scanned the shipped sources of the supported build
  exhaustively and found nothing. Name what you searched.
- *(inferred, QN)* when the scan could not be exhaustive — hand-written
  assembly, generated code, `dlopen` or another dynamic dispatch, an `#ifdef`
  branch you did not read, or a dependency that could do it on the project's
  behalf. Name the specific hole in the question, so the maintainer knows what
  you could not see.

Do not pre-label the whole inventory **inferred** before scanning. A negative
you actually verified across the supported build is worth more to a triager than
a blanket hedge, and the difference is exactly what the maintainer is being
asked to ratify.

## Derive reachability preconditions (§1.4) and output taint (§1.8)

- Per in-model family, state the condition a finding must meet to matter ("a
  finding in `inflate.c` is in-model only if reachable from the compressed input
  bytes"). This is the first test a triager applies to a tool/AI hit.
- Per output channel, state taint. The default for parsers/decoders/decompressors
  is one line worth stating verbatim: *"Output is exactly as untrusted as the
  input it derives from; no sanitization, normalization, or encoding is
  performed."* Note any structural invariant the code actually upholds (bounded
