fix: COBOL parsing-layer coverage gaps — F17-F23 (#1925)#1959
Conversation
… parent abhigyanpatwari#1919) F17 [HIGH]: Expand all ~68 [A-Z]→[A-Z0-9] first-char anchors in regex patterns across cobol-preprocessor.ts — digit-leading COBOL names (1000-MAIN, 9000-EXIT) now work for paragraphs, sections, PERFORM, GO TO, CALL, COPY, SORT, SEARCH, MOVE, and all data-item patterns. F18 [MEDIUM]: MOVE source subscript/reference-mod capture — RE_MOVE now captures optional (index) or (start:length) after source name. Subscript-stripping helper added to cobol-processor.ts for data-item lookup. Targets preserve subscript info in edge IDs. F19 [MEDIUM]: SQL multi-table FROM — comma-separated table lists now captured correctly. SQL aliases stripped from table names. Fixture with 3 EXEC SQL blocks verifies 5 table references. F20 [MEDIUM]: Arithmetic verb ACCESSES edges — extraction for COMPUTE/ADD/SUBTRACT/MULTIPLY/DIVIDE with cobol-arithmetic-read and cobol-arithmetic-write edge emission. Fixture with all 5 verbs. F21 [LOW]: captures.ts free-format column detection — PROGRAM-ID name column now dynamically determined for free-format COBOL (>>SOURCE FORMAT FREE) instead of hardcoded column 7. F22 [LOW]: File-size guard — GITNEXUS_MAX_COBOL_FILE_SIZE_BYTES env var (default 5MB). Files over limit skipped with logger.warn. Edge-case tests verify both below-threshold (pass) and above-threshold (skip with warning) behavior. F23 [LOW]: PERFORM TIMES detection — TIMES clause now detected anywhere after the target (including count+TIMES patterns), not just immediate next word. PERFORM VARYING still correctly skipped. Test coverage: 99 tests (61 existing + 24 scope + 14 new coverage).

- Fix F23 PERFORM TIMES regression: 'PERFORM identifier TIMES' where the target IS the counter variable was missed by the identifier+TIMES regex. Added ^\s*TIMES\b check to catch this case (restores pre-existing unit test: 'does NOT store PERFORM WS-COUNT TIMES as a perform target'). - Update COBOL scope-capture fingerprint in baselines.json (F17/F21/F23 legitimately change capture output). - Bump benchmark timeout budget (300s→600s per-scale, 600s→900s total).

PR #1959 tri-review — COBOL parsing coverage (F17–F23)
Methods: 3 engines — Codex (the one independent engine; live, effort=xhigh / gpt-5.5) + Claude reviewer lanes (risk, correctness, adversarial, performance, testing). Two Claude lanes (test-CI, security-boundary) truncated mid-run; their domains (CI gating, ReDoS, supply-chain) were covered by the coordinator + other lanes. Cross-engine agreement (Codex + ≥1 Claude lane) is weighted strong; Claude-only agreement is "consistent," not independent confirmation. Every inline finding below was reproduced by the coordinator.
Solid work / validated. The [A-Z]→[A-Z0-9] identifier widening across ~40 regexes is mechanically uniform and division-gated; correctness + adversarial confirmed it does not mint phantom symbols in normal programs (numeric literals miss the dataItemMap; hyphenated names like WS-TO-DATE aren't broken by indexOf(' TO ') since boundaries are whitespace-delimited). A suspected P1 ReDoS in the new multi-table FROM regex was refuted — the coordinator's timing test is strictly linear (1.26 ms at 160 KB, no backtracking), matching adversarial's empirical refutation and Codex finding no trigger. CI is green except Vercel (auth-only). PR is BEHIND main (rebase needed; non-blocking).
Inline findings (each reproduced by the coordinator)
P2 — Multi-table SQL FROM drops tables when AS alias is used. (Codex + reproduced) The new comma-aware FROM regex consumes AS as its single optional alias word and then can't continue past the comma. Reproduced: FROM CUSTOMER AS C, ACCOUNT AS A → ["CUSTOMER"] (ACCOUNT lost), while FROM CUSTOMER C, ACCOUNT A → both. The new F19 test only covers the alias-without-AS form, so it passes while the very common AS syntax silently regresses. Fix: handle optional AS, and terminate the table list at SQL clause keywords (WHERE/JOIN/GROUP/ON…).
P2 — ADD a b GIVING c (no TO) produces no edges. (Codex + correctness + reproduced) The ADD branch requires TO; the standard format-3 ADD WS-A WS-B GIVING WS-C matches nothing, target stays empty, and the op is dropped. Reproduced. Same branch also under-captures non-GIVING forms (see body).
P2 — tree-sitter-swift added to ROOT package.json dependencies in a COBOL PR. (Codex + risk + reproduced via git) main's root package.json has no dependencies block at all; this PR injects a Swift grammar (native node-gyp build at install) at the monorepo root plus 71 lockfile lines. Unrelated cross-domain churn — the Swift grammar is already managed in gitnexus/package.json. Likely a merge artifact; remove from this PR.
P2 — PERFORM <para> [THRU <para>] <count> TIMES suppresses the CALLS edge to the paragraph. (Codex + risk + correctness + reproduced) This appears intentional — the perform-times.cbl fixture (L12/L14) and the F23 test (calls.length === 8, "no TIMES false positives") deliberately treat it as a non-call. But per COBOL semantics the out-of-line PERFORM 2000-PROCESS 3 TIMES does transfer control to 2000-PROCESS (executes it 3×), so the CALLS edge is a real control-flow relationship that impact analysis depends on. Note this also reverses main's behavior (main emitted the edge; the original /^TIMES/ guard already correctly suppressed only the genuine inline form PERFORM WS-COUNT TIMES). Recommend reconsidering: emit the edge for <para> <count> TIMES / <para> THRU <para> <count> TIMES, and ideally resolve at graph-mapping time (emit only when the target resolves to a paragraph). If the suppression is genuinely intended, document the rationale.
Lower-priority (body)
- File-size guard gaps (Codex + adversarial + risk): copybooks/JCL are never size-checked (only programs), so an oversized
COPYmember still OOMs;GITNEXUS_MAX_COBOL_FILE_SIZE_BYTES=-1is truthy ⇒ MAX=-1 ⇒ every COBOL file skipped (reproduced;0/NaN/empty correctly fall back — only negative is unsafe); skipped programs leave an empty Module node and strand cross-program CALL edges as permanently<unresolved>with noskippedFilescounter surfaced;content.lengthis UTF-16 code units, not bytes, so multibyte sources can slip the guard. Validate the env var as a positive int; guard copybooks; surface a skip count. - Arith data-flow incompleteness (Codex + correctness): non-GIVING receiving operands aren't credited as reads (
ADD a TO b⇒bis read+write but only written); a multi-target receiving list (ADD a TO b c) captures only the first; the populatedgivingTargetfield is never consumed. - Arith phantom edges inside string literals (adversarial; regex match reproduced): the per-line arith regex sees DISPLAY literal content (
DISPLAY "ADD ITEM TO CART"⇒ verb=ADD), so a data item named like a word in a message gets a spurious ACCESSES edge. Bounded by name collision; mask string literals before the arith/MOVE regexes. - captures.ts fixed-format PROGRAM-ID range (correctness, P3): the name column is hardcoded to 7 for fixed-format, but preprocessing blanks (not shifts) cols 1–6, so the name actually starts ~col 19 — the capture range start is off (the name
textis unaffected). UsefindProgramIdNameColumnfor both formats. - Perf hygiene (performance): the arith verb regex and COMPUTE keyword-skip regex are compiled per-line/per-token instead of hoisted to module constants (every other hot-loop regex is hoisted);
sources.includes()dedup is O(n²) — use a Set. Micro, but inconsistent with the file's own discipline. - Benchmark timeout doubled (performance + risk + testing): inner 300k→600k, outer 600k→900k, COBOL baseline re-fingerprinted, no comment. Confirm the new arith extraction is the cause and document it, or it reads as a perf regression absorbed into the budget.
- Test rigor (testing + risk): F18 MOVE-subscript and F20 arithmetic use
toBeGreaterThan(0)/>=rather than exact counts (a doubled or halved emission would still pass); the GIVING path is untested; F17 SORT/INPUT-PROCEDURE is deferred via a comment claiming "confirmed by code audit" rather than tested; free-format coverage only checks Module creation; no negative test that the widening doesn't mint phantom numeric symbols.
Automated multi-tool digest (Codex xhigh/gpt-5.5 + Claude reviewer swarm). Inline findings were reproduced by the coordinator; verify before acting.

P2 — ADD a b GIVING c (no TO) produces no edges. [reproduced]
This branch requires TO, so the standard COBOL format-3 ADD WS-A WS-B GIVING WS-C matches nothing → target stays '' → the op is dropped (no arith-read/write edges). Reproduced.
Add a GIVING-first fallback for ADD when no TO is present (operands before GIVING are reads, the GIVING identifier is the write). Related: non-GIVING ADD a TO b never credits b as a read (it's read+write), and ADD a TO b c captures only the first receiving target. (Codex + correctness lane + coordinator-reproduced.)

PR #1959 delta tri-review — prior P2 fixes re-checked
Methods: 3 engines — Codex (live) + Claude lanes (risk, correctness, adversarial, testing). This is a follow-up to the prior tri-review (2026-06-01); it checks whether the four P2 inline findings were addressed and what remains.
Engine weighting: Codex + Claude agreement = strong; Claude-only = consistent across personas, not independent confirmation.
Prior P2 inline findings — status after 56e1b438 / c84bc3b / 31e195e8
| Finding | Status | Verification |
|---|---|---|
SQL FROM … AS alias drops tables |

PERFORM 2000-PROCESS 3 TIMES CALLS edge |
Fixed | Guard narrowed to ^\s*TIMES� only (:1971); out-of-line 3 TIMES emits CALLS; test expects 10 total CALLS; [reproduced] |
Solid / validated: The [A-Z]→[A-Z0-9] widening is division-gated; numeric literals do not mint graph nodes without dataItemMap entries. CodeQL unused stripSubscript / edgeSet warnings from the first review appear resolved (functions/imports removed).
CI / merge state (HEAD 0d7281d)
- Merge:
MERGEABLE, no file conflicts (mergeStateStatus: BLOCKED= required checks, not conflict). - Passing: typecheck, lint, format, ubuntu/macos/windows tests, scope-parity discover, packaged install smoke, tree-sitter ABI, CodeQL, gitleaks.
- Failing:
tests / benchmarks (GITNEXUS_BENCH)— investigate whether COBOL baseline/timeout bump or unrelated main merge (#1956 heritage) caused regression. - Pending:
tests / windows-latest,scope-parity / scope-resolution parity. - Vercel: auth-only (non-blocking).
Verdict: production-ready with minor follow-ups — prior P2 code fixes land correctly; remaining P2 items are env parsing, SQL pagination syntax, and quote-blind arithmetic matching. Test coverage for the fixed paths is still thin.
Inline findings (coordinator-verified)
See threaded comments on: negative file-size env (cobol-processor.ts), SQL FETCH FIRST terminator gap (cobol-preprocessor.ts), arithmetic-in-literal false positives (cobol-preprocessor.ts).
Lower-priority (body)
- Stale fixture comments (
perform-times.cbl:11–14): still say “not a paragraph call” forPERFORM 2000-PROCESS 3 TIMES/… WS-COUNT TIMES, but post-fix these do emit CALLS edges (test documents 10 total). Misleading for future maintainers. - Arithmetic read gaps: SUBTRACT/MULTIPLY/DIVIDE non-GIVING forms do not mirror ADD’s accumulator-as-source fix (
:2106–2164);ADD A TO B GIVING Comits read edge forB. - Test gaps: no fixture for explicit

P2 — negative GITNEXUS_MAX_COBOL_FILE_SIZE_BYTES skips all COBOL files. [reproduced]
Trigger: GITNEXUS_MAX_COBOL_FILE_SIZE_BYTES=-1 → parseInt('-1',10)||5MB = -1 (truthy) → every file has content.length > -1 → all programs skipped, zero Module nodes.
Evidence: cobol-processor.ts:181–182. F22 tests only '100' and '10MB'.
Fix: Require positive int: Number.isFinite(raw) && raw > 0 ? raw : default.

P2 — SQL FROM without clause terminator (e.g. FETCH FIRST) yields zero tables. [reproduced]
Trigger: SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER FETCH FIRST 100 ROWS ONLY → extractTables() returns [] because terminators are WHERE|JOIN|GROUP|ON|ORDER|HAVING|UNION|SET|INTO|VALUES only — FETCH is absent and string does not end at $.
Fix: Add FETCH|FOR|LIMIT|OFFSET|WITH to terminator set, or fall back to simple \bFROM\s+(\w+) when strict match fails.
(Note: FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN ACCOUNT refuted — both tables captured.)

P2 — arithmetic verb regex matches inside string literals. [code-read]
Trigger: DISPLAY "ADD WS-A TO WS-B". — line-level \b(ADD|SUBTRACT|…)\b at :2029 is quote-blind; if WS-A/WS-B exist in WORKING-STORAGE, spurious cobol-arithmetic-* ACCESSES edges emit.
Fix: Mask quoted regions before arithmetic/MOVE extraction (same approach as free-format *> comment stripping).

Why do we need to increase the timeout? Is this regex solution is that bad?
|
The timeout bump was unnecessary. COBOL benchmarks take 314ms at 1000 files against a 300s per-scale budget. |
