Scope supply-chain to the pushed range, and refuse a guarddog rule that did not run (#148) - #149
Conversation
…at did not run (#148) Every one of the five scanners reaches the network, and the command ran all of them over every manifest in the tree on every push. A push that changes no lockfile, manifest or workflow paid the whole bill, which is the cost model that gets a push gate switched off. So the run is about a RANGE. It comes from the same runner::Source the pre-push guard reads -- git's ref lines, or the pair pre-commit and prek export in their place -- and there is one reader of what a push is rather than a second one written here. --base REV names a range by hand and --all scans everything; no range and no flag is exit 2 naming both flags, because the fall-through available here is the working tree, which at pre-push is quite likely a different branch, and a green tick about the wrong tree is what the guard already refuses. The changed set is filtered to the seven names a scanner here actually reads, and each scanner is handed its own part of it: lockfiles by path to osv-scanner, workflow files to zizmor, a crate root whose manifest or lock moved to cargo-deny, a moved Cargo.lock to cargo-vet, a moved Python or npm manifest to guarddog in the directory it lives in. A range holding none of them prints one line and exits 0, having made no network call at all. A submodule pointer is expanded inside the submodule, because a member's new lockfile is in the push as surely as one at the root and the superproject's diff shows only a gitlink. Where the member's object store lacks either commit the range cannot be read, so every manifest under it is in scope and the run says so; a branch the remote does not have widens the same way. A submodule that is not checked out is exit 2 instead: there is no tree to widen into, and a clean scan of manifests that are not on disk is the shape this crate exists to refuse. guarddog is the other half, and it is independent of the scoping. It prints "Some rules failed to run while scanning <package>" for its email-domain rules and still exits 0, so an orchestrator reading the exit code alone files a rule that timed out under clean. A rule that did not run is a question nobody answered: it is the could-not-look verdict and exit 2, with a line naming the packages and how many rules. This is the one place a scanner's output is read here, and it is the opposite of a finding. The manifest splits in two, since one pre-commit entry cannot vary its arguments by stage. uphold-supply-chain stays at pre-push and is scoped; uphold-supply-chain-all carries --all at manual, which is the only form that can find an advisory published against a dependency no commit touched. A consumer that pins only the first gets the push gate and no sweep. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xo8SyuPegcNppptXLWegWJ

Add the missing scanner hook entries.
The published hook manifest defines both scanner IDs, but the README example omits them. Add uphold-supply-chain for pre-push and uphold-supply-chain-all for manual. Otherwise, users who copy the example do not install these supply-chain checks.

A removed submodule makes the whole scan exit 2.
The --raw pass carries no --diff-filter, so a deletion reaches this branch. git writes a removed gitlink as :160000 000000 <old> 0000000 D<TAB>sub, and source_mode == ":160000" selects the branch. expand_gitlink then tests sub/.git, which is absent because the working tree no longer contains the submodule, and returns Fatal. Any push that removes a submodule refuses with exit 2 and tells the operator to run git submodule update --init on a submodule that no longer exists.
A rename line has the shape R100<TAB>old<TAB>new, so split_once('\t') yields the path old\tnew. That path never exists either, so a renamed submodule produces the same false refusal.
The name-only pass already filters to ACMR. Apply the same restriction here.

Non-YAML files under .github/workflows are handed to zizmor.
is_workflow matches any path with a .github/workflows ancestor, so a changed README.md, *.sh, or *.md under that directory enters this list and becomes a zizmor input.

A changed pyproject.toml with no uv project refuses the push.
This branch maps every directory holding a changed uv.lock or pyproject.toml to <directory>/uv.lock and applies no existence filter. The loop below then runs uv export in that directory. For a pyproject.toml that is not a uv project, uv export exits nonzero, the loop sets refused = true, and the section returns Section::Failed, so the command exits 1.
Scope::Whole never reaches such a directory, because find_named(root, "uv.lock") returns existing locks only. A scoped run therefore refuses a tree that the whole-tree run passes, and the printed reason names an export failure rather than a supply-chain finding.

🔎 Supported by static analysis
🌐 Web query:
guarddog verify "rules failed to run while scanning" output stdout or stderr
💡 Result:
The error message "Some rules failed to run while scanning" in GuardDog is a generic notification indicating that one or more internal analysis rules encountered an exception or environment issue during the execution process [1][2][3]. Because GuardDog runs multiple rules (both metadata-based and source code-based) in parallel, a failure in a single rule does not necessarily stop the entire scan, but it is reported in the stdout/stderr output [1][2][3]. Common causes for these failures include: 1. Repository Integrity Mismatch: Issues often arise when the scanner attempts to clone or compare a package against its associated Git repository [2][3]. This has been linked to specific file path issues (e.g., expecting a directory but finding a file) or authentication requirements for private or specialized repositories [2][3]. 2. Semgrep Failures: Since GuardDog relies on Semgrep to perform source code analysis, any issue within the Semgrep engine—such as version incompatibility, configuration errors, or failures to parse specific file structures—can trigger a rule failure [4][5]. 3. Dependency Resolution Issues: When scanning requirements files, GuardDog may fail to resolve specific package versions or metadata if they are not explicitly defined or if the package metadata is inaccessible from PyPI [1]. 4. Sandbox Environment Restrictions: In containerized or restricted environments (like Docker), the sandboxed extraction or analysis process may fail due to missing dependencies, permission issues, or file system constraints [6]. Troubleshooting Steps: - Enable Debug Logging: Run the command with the --log-level DEBUG flag to see detailed information about which specific rule is failing and the underlying stack trace [1]. - Update GuardDog: Ensure you are using the latest version of GuardDog, as many of these errors are resolved in ongoing releases [2][3]. - Check for Known Issues: Review the DataDog/guarddog GitHub repository for open issues matching your specific error message, as many reported failures are related to specific edge cases in package metadata or structure [2][4][3]. - Isolated Testing: Try scanning the problematic package individually to determine if the failure is specific to that package or a general environment configuration issue [2][4].

site:github.com/DataDog/guarddog "Some rules failed to run while scanning"
💡 Result:
The message "Some rules failed to run while scanning" is a diagnostic notification commonly associated with the GuardDog CLI tool, which is used to scan PyPI and npm packages for potential malicious indicators [1][2][3]. This message indicates that while the tool may have successfully scanned for other indicators, one or more specific detection rules encountered an internal error and could not complete their execution [1][3][4]. It does not necessarily mean the entire scan failed, but rather that the results may be incomplete because certain checks were skipped [1][4]. Common causes for this error include: 1. Environment or Dependency Issues: Issues with underlying dependencies (such as Semgrep) or sandboxing environments (e.g., in Docker) can cause rules to crash [1][5][6]. 2. Rule-Specific Bugs: Errors in logic within specific rules, such as file system path handling (e.g., attempting to treat a file as a directory) or network issues when attempting to clone repositories for integrity checks, are frequent triggers [2][3]. 3. Input or Configuration Problems: Situations where a package version is missing, metadata is malformed, or expected repository configurations are absent can prevent rules from running [3][4]. If you encounter this error, it is typically a bug within the scanner's rule implementation rather than a failure of your target project [1][2][3]. You can often find more details by running the command with increased verbosity (e.g., using --log-level DEBUG) to identify the exact rule that failed and the traceback associated with the error [4]. If the issue persists, checking the official project repository for existing issues or updates is recommended [1][6].

💡 Result:
When you see the message "Some rules failed to run while scanning" in GuardDog, it indicates that while the tool successfully completed its overall scan, one or more specific security or metadata rules encountered internal errors and could not execute for the target package [1][2][3]. This behavior is a known characteristic of GuardDog—a CLI tool for identifying malicious PyPI and npm packages—rather than a sign of a terminal failure of the tool itself [2][3][4]. Common causes for these failures include: 1. Environmental/Permission Issues: Problems with system libraries or sandbox environments can cause rules to fail (e.g., OpenSSL certificate errors or permission denied issues in Docker containers) [5]. 2. Rule-Specific Bugs: Certain rules may crash due to edge cases in file handling (e.g., unexpected file structures like a directory where a file was expected) [2] or network issues during tasks like cloning remote repositories for integrity checks [1]. 3. Dependency/External Tool Errors: Errors can originate from underlying dependencies or integrated tools, such as failures in the Semgrep engine used for source code analysis [3][4] or metadata retrieval issues when a package version cannot be resolved [6]. How to Troubleshoot: - Use Verbose Logging: Run the command with the --log-level DEBUG flag to see more detailed output regarding the specific failure [6]. This is the most effective way to identify exactly why a rule failed. - Check Official Issues: Since many of these errors are environment-specific or bugs within the tool's rules, searching the DataDog/guarddog GitHub repository issues can help you determine if your specific error is a known issue with an existing fix [1][2][3]. - Update GuardDog: Ensure you are using the latest version of the tool, as many of these "rule failed" messages are addressed through continuous bug fixes in newer releases [2][3][6].

Aggregate all unrun-rule reasons. unrun.or_else(...) keeps only the first result across the Python and npm loops. Later packages are omitted from the reported package list and rule count. Accumulate every non-empty reason before returning Section::CouldNotLook.

Closes #148.
All five scanners reach the network, and the command ran every one of them over every manifest in the tree on every push. A push that changes no lockfile, manifest or workflow paid the whole bill.
The run is now about a range. It comes from the same
runner::Sourcethe pre-push guard reads -- git ref lines on stdin, or the pair pre-commit and prek export in their place -- so there is one reader of what a push is.--base REVnames a range by hand,--allscans everything, and no range with no flag is exit 2 naming both flags rather than falling through to the working tree.The changed set is filtered to Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, uv.lock, pyproject.toml, package.json, package-lock.json and .github/workflows/**. Lockfiles go to osv-scanner by path, workflow files to zizmor, a crate root whose manifest or lock moved to cargo-deny, a moved Cargo.lock to cargo-vet, a moved Python or npm manifest to guarddog in its own directory. A range holding none of them prints one line and exits 0.
A moved submodule pointer is expanded inside the submodule and the paths prefixed. Where the member object store lacks either commit, every manifest under it is in scope and the run says so; a branch the remote does not have widens the same way. A submodule that is not checked out is exit 2, not a widening.
Independent of the scoping: guarddog prints "Some rules failed to run while scanning " and still exits 0, so a rule that timed out was filed under clean. That is now could-not-look and exit 2, with a line naming the packages and the rule count.
The manifest splits in two, since one entry cannot vary its arguments by stage:
uphold-supply-chainstays at pre-push and is scoped,uphold-supply-chain-allcarries--allat manual. The lefthook opt-in snippet shows both forms.Nine tests added, covering the refusal with no range,
--all, a range with nothing to scan, a changed lock, a changed workflow, a real submodule bump, a widening, the not-checked-out refusal, and the guarddog rule that did not run.prek run --all-filespasses. Checked live against a consumer superproject: the scoped run over a three-commit range and the full sweep both exit 0, and the scoped run is roughly a third of the full one.No version bump here; the release is a separate step.
