Hold the loader to two invariants over a policy nobody would write - #35
Conversation
The fuzz target #13 asks for wants a library to link against, and this crate is deliberately one binary. Adding a `[lib]` so libFuzzer has something to hold would change what the crate IS for the sake of how it is tested, which is the wrong direction. What that target would assert is assertable without it. Two invariants, over this repository's own policy and every bundled set, cut and corrupted mechanically -- real input mangled rather than input invented, because every byte offset in a real file means something to the parser: * `load` never panics. It is reached by `uphold shim` standing in front of `git`, so a panic here is a panic in front of every command in a repository whose policy somebody mistyped. * Unparseable is never CLEAN. An `Err` is exit 2 and a policy with no rules is exit 0, and the second over a file that could not be read is the failure this repository exists to refuse. A prefix holding only comments is a policy with no rules, and that is correct rather than a violation: the file said nothing, and saying nothing is not the same as being unreadable. The sweep asserts what it can -- every rule that survives a truncation has an id and a check -- and the invariant itself is stated directly over five inputs that must always be errors. Driven the other way before committing: making `parse` swallow its error turns the second test red with the sentence it exists for, "this is not toml [[[" loaded as a policy with 0 rule(s).
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds policy loader robustness tests. The tests cover truncation, byte substitution, malformed TOML syntax, and NUL bytes. They verify that loading does not panic and that malformed input is rejected or does not produce invalid rules. ChangesPolicy loader robustness
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new malformed-policy sweep checks rule IDs after byte corruption but does not also verify that each surviving rule has a check or builtin, so the test could miss a malformed rule shape. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to add this assertion; no production behavior regression is indicated by the supplied evidence. Possibly related PRs

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate the check invariant after byte substitution.
This path only checks rule.id. A corrupted policy can load a rule with no check and still pass this test. Assert the same check condition used in the truncation path.
Proposed fix
if let Ok(policy) = policy_from(&damaged) {
for rule in &policy.rules {
assert!(!rule.id.is_empty(), "a rule with no id loaded");
+ assert!(
+ rule.check().is_some() || rule.builtin().is_some(),
+ "a rule with no check survived byte substitution: {}",
+ rule.id
+ );
}

The fuzz-target deliverable from #13, and the reason it is not a fuzz target.
Why not
cargo-fuzzlibFuzzer needs a library to link against. This crate is deliberately one binary --
[[bin]]and no[lib]-- and adding a lib target so a fuzzer has something to hold would change what the crate is for the sake of how it is tested. That is the wrong direction, and it is worth writing down as the finding rather than doing quietly.What the target would have asserted is assertable without it.
Two invariants
Over this repository's own policy and every bundled set, cut and corrupted mechanically -- real input mangled rather than input invented, because every byte offset in a real file means something to the parser:
loadnever panics. It is reached byuphold shimstanding in front ofgit, so a panic here is a panic in front of every command in a repository whose policy somebody mistyped.Erris exit 2 and a policy with no rules is exit 0, and the second over a file that could not be read is the failure this repository exists to refuse.A prefix holding only comments is a policy with no rules, and that is correct: the file said nothing, and saying nothing is not the same as being unreadable. The sweep asserts what it can over damaged input -- every rule that survives has an id and a check -- and the invariant itself is stated directly over five inputs that must always be errors.
