Summary

• A Markdown table containing delete+insert followed by another code span can be marked incompletely inspected: declared-marker reconstruction mistakes a closing code delimiter for a new removal marker.
• Prove each complete canonical table row maps verbatim, cell by cell, to raw source before recognizing its closing backticks. Enable this proof only for declared-marker reconstruction; existing callers retain their current contract.

Scope

• CLI behavior
• Scanner adapter
• Judge/profile/benchmark behavior
• ClawHub profile proposal at proposals/<GHSA-ID>/clawscan.yml
• Docs only
• Release/CI/repo automation

Security / Trust Impact

• Security/trust impact explained

Instruction bodies remain available to every analyzer. Explicit removal instructions still reconstruct inside table code spans. Escaped pipes, extra or padded cells, cross-cell and cross-row delimiter pairs, uncertain mappings, and budget exhaustion retain conservative fallback behavior. Source offsets remain bound through normalized views. Existing shell projection uses the default table-ownership setting, and its excluded ranges remain enforced. No resource, finding, severity or verdict limits change.

Verification

• Focused scanner/manual proof:
  • Paired table regression: four LF/CRLF and indentation cases fail before the fix and pass afterward.
  • Fourteen transported controls cover exact mapping, positive instruction reconstruction, uncertain cells, excluded ranges and explicit caller opt-in.
  • Actual consumer patch applies to pinned upstream; all 118 source/dependency files are byte-identical to the reviewed producer. All 275 native runtime adoption tests pass.
  • Six retained original inputs, 18 analyzer replays: every finding signature is identical before/after. Solaris data-engineer rules change from false obfuscated-instruction incompleteness to completed inspection. Magneta, BETAP original and closed-fence reproduction, and Whetstone schematic JSON cases retain their previous findings and completeness states.
  • Broader related suite: 1,561 passed; one inherited nested-list fence projection failure reproduces on the unchanged base and has a separate repair in progress.
  • Ruff and git diff --check pass.
• Go tests/vet: inherited evidence on the unchanged Go tree; CI reruns tests for this PR.
• Docs site proof: N/A.

Notes

Independent P0–P3 producer review is scoped-clean. Integrated consumer review and current-head runtime CI are required before landing. Full Solaris scan and production recovery remain open until every required stage completes and retained artifacts are verified in production.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge.

What this changes

This PR recognizes proven closing backticks in canonical Markdown table cells during declared-marker reconstruction.

Example: A Markdown table contains delete+insert followed by an insert_overwrite code span.

• Before: A closing backtick can be mistaken for a removal-marker opener, producing obfuscated_instruction_text incompleteness.
• After: Exactly mapped table cells establish delimiter ownership while instruction bodies remain available for scanning.

Review scores

Measure	Result	What it means
Overall readiness	🦐 gold shrimp (3/6)	A focused, source-supported repair with meaningful fixture coverage and passing runtime checks; supplied behavior evidence stops at analyzer replays.
Proof confidence	🦐 gold shrimp (3/6)	This collaborator-authored PR is outside the ordinary contributor proof gate; its body reports original-input analyzer replays with unchanged finding signatures and corrected Solaris completeness, while explicitly leaving full-scan and production recovery unproven.
Patch quality	🐚 platinum hermit (4/6)	No actionable review findings were identified.

Product

Kind: Bug fix · Worth it: Yes · Fix scope: Complete
User problem: Ordinary Markdown table documentation can leave a skill incompletely inspected and prevent downstream processing.
Reason: The collaborator-authored direction repairs a demonstrated completeness failure without changing public options, evidence policy, or analyzer access to instruction text.

Merge readiness

✅ Ready for maintainer review

Keep open: this collaborator-authored PR fixes a concrete scanner completeness failure still present on main; no introduced correctness or security defect was found.

Before merge

None.

Findings

None.

Tests

• Missing end-to-end proof: The supplied analyzer replay reports do not show the original Solaris table input completing through the shipped scanner CLI.

Agent review details

How this fits together

The Docker runtime patches pinned SkillSpector source; Markdown delimiter ownership feeds declared-marker reconstruction, whose findings and completeness evidence enter ClawScan report validation.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Use the existing bounded Markdown ownership helper to prove exact table-cell closers only for declared-marker reconstruction.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Main explicitly rejects table delimiter ownership, and the supplied table fixture reaches declared-marker reconstruction; the author reports paired before/after failures, but no target code was executed during this review.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

The repair addresses missing source provenance directly, reuses the existing parser and resource bounds, and preserves shell projection's default contract.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

Codex review notes: model internal, reasoning medium; reviewed against d7376d49e7c0.

Provenance checked

• Table delimiter ownership changes intended behavior with a stated reason (0929eca: Whole-row substring matching could not establish exact cell origins, especially with escaped pipes and shared row maps.)
• Shell projection exclusions and default behavior keeps the original intent (1aedf7b: Canonical ownership must preserve stricter shell-table boundaries and raw CRLF coordinates.)
• Runtime adoption tests keeps the original intent (d7376d4: The Docker build validates the patched scanner with runtime adoption fixtures.)

Testing

Proof path: in-process harness.

Security

None.

Evidence

What I checked:

• Pinned introduction and current main: The introduced diff adds exact row-to-cell mapping, an opt-in constructor argument, one reconstruction caller change, and fixture coverage; current default-branch SHA remains d7376d4. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch:1290, 0bf7a13a32fa)
• Conservative scanner contract: Ownership requires matching cell counts and verbatim cell contents; escaped pipes and uncertain rows retain fallback behavior, existing excluded ranges remain checked, and only declared-marker reconstruction enables tables. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch:1330, 0bf7a13a32fa)
• Regression coverage and validation: Fixtures exercise LF/CRLF, indentation, literal-removal reconstruction, uncertain mappings, exclusions, and default opt-out; exact-head amd64 and arm64 runtime verification checks succeeded. (docker/clawscan-runtime/tests/test_skillspector_table_markers.py:19, 0bf7a13a32fa)
• Original intent and companion scope: fix: distinguish Markdown code closers from obfuscation markers #99 deliberately withheld table ownership because whole-row substring matching could not prove cell origins; this PR supplies that missing proof. fix: retain conservative shell fence boundaries #112 separately repairs inherited shell-fence boundaries. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch:1510, 0bf7a13a32fa)
• Feature ownership and history limit: Scoped symbol history identifies Patrick-Erichsen's merged Markdown ownership work in fix: distinguish Markdown code closers from obfuscation markers #99 and fix: preserve Markdown container delimiter ownership #105. Older follow-history and commit-stat reads encountered unavailable promisor objects; the relevant source, blame, and PR reasons were readable. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch:1503, 1aedf7b86ddc)
• Executed dependency contract: The Dockerfile applies this patch to pinned NVIDIA source, establishing dependency relevance; the reconstruction callback refines loose marker parsing without replacing explicit directives. The complete pinned dependency tree contains no AGENTS.md. (src/skillspector/security_reconstruction.py:1882, 95a52d89fa16)
