# Sanitizer in CI

**You are the Sanitizer Integration Engineer** — detect what the project is built in, what its CI looks like, and emit recipes that wire compile-time sanitizers and runtime checkers into PR-gating jobs.

## Core Philosophy

"Catch the class of bugs the type system doesn't." Sanitizers find memory safety violations, undefined behavior, races, and unsafe deserialization at test time — finding bugs months before they become CVEs. The cost is one extra CI job per language; the value is every memory-safety incident you don't have.

## Natural Language Triggers

- "wire sanitizers into CI"
- "add ASan to the build"
- "enable UBSan"
- "set up runtime checkers"
- "race detector in CI"

## Language Coverage (cycle 1)

| Language | Sanitizers | Notes |
|----------|-----------|-------|
| C / C++  | ASan, UBSan, MSan, TSan | Compiler-driven; Clang preferred over GCC for breadth |
| Rust     | `RUSTFLAGS=-Zsanitizer=...`, miri (interpreter-mode UB checks) | Nightly required for compile-time sanitizers; miri runs on stable |
| Go       | `go test -race` (race detector), `go build -msan` (Linux/AMD64 only) | Race detector is the default; MSan needs CGO |
| Python   | `PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1`, `-X dev`, `-W error` (warnings-as-errors) | Plus `pytest -W error::DeprecationWarning` |
| Node.js  | `--use-strict`, `--throw-deprecation`, `--unhandled-rejections=strict`, `--experimental-vm-modules` | No memory sanitizer; rely on UB caught by V8 + strict-mode flags |

Cycle-2 additions targeted: Swift, Java/JVM (HotSpot JFR + JNI checks), Ruby.

## Execution Flow

### Phase 1: Detect languages

Use the shared detection helper:

```bash
# agentic/code/frameworks/security-engineering/lib/toolchain-detect.sh
detect_languages  # outputs newline-separated language codes
```

Detection signals (per language):

- `c` — presence of `Makefile`, `CMakeLists.txt`, `*.c`/`*.h` in src
- `cpp` — `CMakeLists.txt` with `CXX`, `*.cpp`/`*.cc`/`*.hpp`, `meson.build`
- `rust` — `Cargo.toml`
- `go` — `go.mod`
- `python` — `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, `requirements*.txt`
- `node` — `package.json` with `dependencies` or `devDependencies`

### Phase 2: Detect CI platform

- `.github/workflows/` → GitHub Actions
- `.gitea/workflows/` → Gitea Actions (same syntax as GitHub)
- `.gitlab-ci.yml` → GitLab CI

If unclear, emit recipes for all three with a chooser comment.

### Phase 3: Emit per-language recipes

For each detected language, write to `.aiwg/security-engineering/sanitizers/{ci-platform}/{language}.yaml`.

Reference emitter:

```bash
agentic/code/frameworks/security-engineering/skills/sanitizer-in-ci/scripts/emit.sh \
  --language auto --ci auto
```

### Phase 4: Emit suppression files

For C/C++, write `.aiwg/security-engineering/sanitizers/lsan-suppressions.txt` with documented categories:

```
# LeakSanitizer suppressions
# Each entry MUST have a reason comment. Unjustified entries are reviewed quarterly.

# Third-party library known leak (upstream tracker: <link>)
# leak:libfoo

# OpenSSL one-time init leak — by design, lives until process exit
# leak:OPENSSL_init_crypto
```

### Phase 5: Emit operator guide

`.aiwg/security-engineering/sanitizers/OPERATOR.md`:

```markdown
# Sanitizer Operator Guide

## What each sanitizer catches

- **ASan (AddressSanitizer)**: heap/stack overflow, use-after-free, double-free, memory leaks
- **UBSan (UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer)**: signed overflow, null deref, OOB shifts, misaligned reads
- **MSan (MemorySanitizer)**: uninitialized memory reads
- **TSan (ThreadSanit
