feat: M4 — Python CFG, dataflow, T1 rules dead-store and read-before-init - #49
Conversation
…st it M4 Step 0. ADR-0002 names node kinds and field names in prose, and prose is not a measurement. This probe parses one corpus exercising every construct in the ADR's table and asserts the kinds and fields the CFG builder will depend on, so a grammar bump that renames or removes one fails here, naming the thing that moved, rather than silently turning a CFG edge into a no-op. Running it overturned two claims the builder would otherwise have been written against. Both came from reading the grammar's generated `node-types.json` during planning rather than from parsing: * `except*` does NOT produce an error node. tree-sitter-python 0.25.0 accepts PEP 654 syntax and demotes the `*` to an anonymous child, leaving a named tree shape identical to plain `except`. `has_error()` is false, so the planned OPAQUE trigger does not cover it — and misreading a group handler as an ordinary one is worse than refusing the function, since the two have genuinely different control flow. Hence `is_except_group`, a structural detector, with both arms asserted and two mutants killed against it. * The `except E as e` binding is NOT `except_clause.alias`, despite `node-types.json` advertising exactly that field. The parser emits `value: (as_pattern (identifier) alias: (as_pattern_target ...))`, one level down. A builder written from the schema would have got `None`, never bound `e`, and turned every aliased handler into a `read-before-init` false positive on `e`. Also asserted, each with a paired control so no leg can pass vacuously: try/with/delete expose no fields the builder could use, so their parts must be matched by kind; `while/else` exists though the ADR table omits it; a bare annotation `x: int` carries `type` but no `right` and so binds nothing. No builder code yet beyond the one detector the measurements forced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WRvDivYwLSeVCJUrfjic3f
No behaviour change. All nine struct-literal sites (the engine, the falsifier, and seven T0 test helpers) now go through one constructor. A later commit can then add a private, lazily-built per-file CFG shared by every T1 rule without touching each site again.

Lowers every function_definition to a FunctionUnit, per ADR-0002:
- Analysable(FunctionCfg) with private fields, or Opaque{reason}; a T1 rule
cannot obtain a CFG for a function it must not analyse. Triggers: parse
error, exec/eval/locals/globals/vars in the own body, except*, module
wildcard import, frame introspection, >4096 locals.
- Locals pre-pass (scope.rs): global/nonlocal excluded, bare annotations
local, comprehension targets not leaked but walrus targets are, match
captures precise (class names and keyword attribute names are not locals).
- try: a try_entry block and per-statement blocks give both handler edges
ADR-0002 needs; else/handler tails raise to the exceptional finally;
finally is copied per exit (normal, exceptional, each jump) — gap-fill.
- while/else, while True with no false edge, match arms — gap-fills.
- RuleCtx::units() builds once per file, lazily, Python only.
Six CFG snapshots (three ADR-mandated, three gap-fills), each read before
blessing; a mutant dropping the pre-statement raise edge is killed by the
direct try-edge test.

One worklist solver over a union meet, generic in direction, and the two ADR-0002 problems transcribed from its equations. Block-level solutions are replayed per event; dead_stores / unbound_reads combine the per-exit copies of a finally per source location (dead only if dead in every copy; may-unbound if in any), skipping unreachable blocks. 18 corpus cases, each "no finding" beside one that reports. Mutants killed: intersection meet (5 tests red), dropped try-body-tail edge (3 red). A walrus inside a comprehension clearing may-unbound is a chosen, documented false negative.

Rule 9 `dead-store` and rule 10 `read-before-init`, transcribed from ADR-0002 over `RuleCtx::units()` and `pons_core::dataflow`. Both are Tier::T1 (DATAFLOW, derived from the tier), Python only, and never see an OPAQUE function: `FunctionUnit::Opaque` carries no CFG. dead-store: `_`/`_`-prefixed targets suppressed; an RHS with a call, await, yield or walrus reports at INFO with the ADR's counter-condition; otherwise WARN. Never ERROR. read-before-init: WARN uniformly. Registered after the T0 catalogue; the ordered-id test is widened and renamed. RawFinding gains read-only getters so rule tests can pin a severity and counter-condition, not only a count. No setters. Fixtures carry every ADR-0002 corpus obligation, one case per file, plus an `exec(` negative with a known-answer positive twin per rule, and a module-level negative. Mutants killed: dropping `exec` from the OPAQUE triggers turns dead-store/negative/opaque_exec.py red; deleting the `_` suppression turns dead-store/negative/underscore_target.py red.

- grammar probe: assert the 10 further fields the builder reads
(elif/else/with_item/decorated_definition/attribute/keyword_argument/
default_parameter, plus guard/superclasses/with-as alias found by shape);
a mutant renaming `value` and `guard` turned both tests red.
- dead-store description now transcribes ADR-0002's firing condition
("never read before it is redefined or the function ends"); the old
string described only the overwrite case.
- read-before-init doc no longer claims opacity and scope are the only
false-positive sources — the infeasible-path classes are #47.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Exclude unreachable predecessors from the forward meet. At present, a Kill in dead code creates read-before-init false positives.
solve joins facts from every predecessor, including blocks that cfg.reachable() marks unreachable. This matters for MayUnbound because Kill adds a local to the set. An unreachable block has an empty in-state. Its Kill events are then applied, and the resulting facts reach a reachable join.
The builder creates this state for a common handler shape. Take a handler that ends with raise or return:
Builder::stmt/Builder::jumpsetself.curto a new unreachable block.Builder::try_emits the implicitkill ein that block.Builder::try_then adds that block tonormal_ends, so it has an edge tojoin.
Example:
def f():
e = None
try:
g()
except E as e:
raise
return ePython never raises UnboundLocalError here. The normal path keeps e = None, and the handler path leaves the function. unbound_reads still reports e@7, because the unreachable block after raise delivers {e} to the join. A del x after an early return inside an if produces the same result.
The same fix works in both directions. For a backward analysis, a reachable block has only reachable successors, so skipping unreachable sources does not change liveness.
🐛 Proposed fix
let boundary = problem.boundary(cfg);
+ // Facts from code that cannot run must not reach a join: a `kill` after
+ // a `raise`/`return` would otherwise mark a name may-unbound.

@hyperpolymath Thanks for confirming the reproduction and explaining the stopping rule. Deferring this fix to #50 is consistent with that rule; it need not block PR #49. The finding remains valid, with fixtures, a mutant, and the flatbuffers precision check as acceptance criteria.

Disclosure — a measured contradiction with ADR-0002, not fixed here.
On the standing real-world corpus (
google-flatbuffers-bounty),read-before-initreports 78 findings. Counted, not sampled:python/flatbuffers/flexbuffers.py:1378/1400/1514(Vector,TypedVector,Map).try: start = self._StartVector(); yield self; finally: self._EndVector(start, …). If_StartVector()raises, thefinallyraisesUnboundLocalError, which masks the original exception. These are genuine latent bugs.Packmethod has the shapeif self.x is not None: x = ……if self.x is not None: Add(builder, x). All 71 were checked mechanically: the line above each flagged read is exactlyif self.<v> is not None:.for sizePrefix in [True, False]:intests/py_test.pyalways runs, but the ADR's rule "the loop may run zero times" treats it as possibly empty.ADR-0002's counter-condition paragraph says the rule's only false-positive sources are opacity and scope. That claim is false. This PR transcribes the ADR faithfully and does not add path sensitivity, which would be a design change. The follow-up is an issue (with acceptance criteria) plus an owner ruling on amending the ADR.
