Sync AGENTS.md, agent/standard files from template, then reorganize docs to new standards by Copilot · Pull Request #88 · demaconsulting/SarifMark

Copilot · 2026-04-03T22:08:13Z

Two related changes: binary-copy updated files from TemplateDotNetTool, then apply the structural requirements those updated standards introduce.

Description

Template file sync (binary copies)

AGENTS.md — restructured with Project Structure tree, Key Configuration Files, Linting workflow section; removed legacy CI/CD pipeline narrative
.github/agents/*.md — updated developer, implementation, quality agent reporting templates and workflows
.github/standards/*.md — updated design-documentation, reqstream-usage, reviewmark-usage, technical-documentation with revised folder hierarchy guidance
lint.sh / lint.bat — refactored into explicit PYTHON / NPM / DOTNET sections with per-section fault isolation

Structural reorganization to match updated standards

ReqStream (docs/reqstream/) — all files moved under new sarifmark/ system-name folder per {system-name}/ hierarchy; files renamed to drop subsystem- / unit- prefixes:

system.yaml → sarifmark/sarifmark.yaml
cli/subsystem-cli.yaml → sarifmark/cli/cli.yaml, cli/unit-context.yaml → sarifmark/cli/context.yaml
Same pattern for sarif/, self-test/, utilities/ subfolders
ots/ots-software.yaml remains at root (correct per standard)

Design (docs/design/) — all files moved under new sarifmark/ system-name folder; system.md renamed to sarifmark.md; introduction.md stays at root.

requirements.yaml — includes updated to new paths.

docs/design/definition.yaml — resource-path and input-files updated to new paths.

.reviewmark.yaml:

SarifMark-System → SarifMark-Architecture (new Architecture review pattern)
Unit reviews renamed to {System}-{Subsystem}-{Unit}: e.g. SarifMark-Context → SarifMark-Cli-Context, SarifMark-SarifResult → SarifMark-Sarif-SarifResult
Architecture review-set contains exactly: system requirements, design introduction, system design, and the system test suite (IntegrationTests.cs, Runner.cs, AssemblyInfo.cs)
Subsystem review-sets contain exactly: subsystem requirements, subsystem design, and subsystem test suite
Unit review-sets contain exactly: unit requirements, unit design, and unit test suite (source code excluded from ReviewMark; reviewed through PR code review process)
needs-review updated to exclude src/**/*.cs
README.md added to SarifMark-Design review
All file paths updated throughout

PathHelpers synchronization to TemplateDotNetTool

src/.../Utilities/PathHelpers.cs — replaced the pre-combine string check (relativePath.Contains("..") / Path.IsPathRooted) with a single precise post-combine containment check using Path.GetRelativePath, matching the template approach. ".." is now treated as an escape only when it equals ".." exactly or is followed by a directory separator, avoiding false positives for valid filenames like v1..0.sarif. XML doc updated to enumerate all thrown exception types.

docs/design/sarifmark/utilities/path-helpers.md — updated to reflect the single-step post-combine approach and added design decision notes from the template.

docs/reqstream/sarifmark/utilities/path-helpers.yaml — removed PreCombineCheck and RootedCheck requirements; consolidated into an updated PostCombineCheck requirement with combined justification.

test/.../Utilities/PathHelpersTests.cs — FilenameWithEmbeddedDots test renamed and updated to verify that names like v1..0.sarif are now correctly accepted as valid in-base filenames.

Dedicated subsystem test suites with strict test linkage hierarchy

Added four dedicated subsystem test files alongside the retained IntegrationTests.cs system test suite, with strict three-level test linkage:

test/.../IntegrationTests.cs — system test suite proving end-to-end tool behavior; all SarifMark-System-* requirements in sarifmark.yaml link exclusively to IntegrationTest_* tests here
test/.../Cli/CliTests.cs — CLI subsystem tests (Cli_* prefix: version, help, silent, log, enforce, invalid args); linked from cli.yaml subsystem requirements
test/.../Sarif/SarifTests.cs — SARIF subsystem tests (Sarif_* prefix: missing param, valid file, non-existent file, report generation, report depth); linked from sarif.yaml / report.yaml subsystem requirements
test/.../SelfTest/SelfTestTests.cs — Self-validation subsystem tests (SelfTest_* prefix: validate flag); linked from self-test.yaml subsystem requirements
test/.../Utilities/UtilitiesTests.cs — Utilities subsystem tests (Utilities_* prefix: safe path handling); linked from utilities.yaml subsystem requirements
Unit test suites (ProgramTests.cs, ContextTests.cs, SarifResultsTests.cs, ValidationTests.cs, PathHelpersTests.cs) linked exclusively from unit requirements — no cross-level references

docs/reqstream/sarifmark/program.yaml — SarifMark-Program-SarifAnalysis updated to reference only Program_Main_* unit tests; three new unit tests added to ProgramTests.cs (Program_Main_ValidSarifFile_ProcessesSuccessfully, Program_Main_EnforceFlagWithIssues_ReturnsError, Program_Main_ReportFile_CreatesReport).

docs/reqstream/sarifmark/utilities/utilities.yaml — updated SarifMark-Utilities-SafePathHandling children to reference all three unit requirements (SafeCombine, NullCheck, PostCombineCheck) and tests updated to point to the new UtilitiesTests.cs test method.

Done in 8385d66. Changes made:

PathHelpers.cs: Removed the pre-combine string check (relativePath.Contains("..") / Path.IsPathRooted). Now uses the single post-combine containment check with precise ordinal comparisons matching the template — ".." is only treated as an escape when it equals ".." exactly or is followed by a directory separator, avoiding false positives for names like v1..0.sarif. Updated XML doc to enumerate all exception types.
path-helpers.md: Updated to reflect the single-step post-combine approach and added the design decision notes from the template.
path-helpers.yaml: Removed PreCombineCheck and RootedCheck requirements; consolidated into an updated PostCombineCheck with the combined justification.
PathHelpersTests.cs: FilenameWithEmbeddedDots test renamed and updated to verify v1..0.sarif is now accepted as a valid in-base filename.

Subsystem reviews should consist of the subsystem requirements, subsystem design, and subsystem test suite.

Unit reviews should consist of the units requirements, design, code, and tests.

Subsystem reviews should consist of the subsystem requirements, subsystem design, and subsystem test suite.

Unit reviews should consist of the units requirements, design, code, and tests.

Done in 8a2e055. Subsystem reviews now contain only the subsystem requirements, subsystem design, and the dedicated subsystem test suite. Unit reviews retain requirements, design, code, and tests. The utilities.yaml subsystem requirement also lists all three unit requirements as children (SafeCombine, NullCheck, PostCombineCheck).

@copilot What... you removed IntegrationTests.cs - NO - that's the SYSTEM test suite - that actually proves that really running the tool actually does what it's supposed to - all System level requirements are supposed to link to the IntegrationTests suite.

Restored in 9c3f36b. IntegrationTests.cs is back as the system test suite — all SarifMark-System-* requirements in sarifmark.yaml continue to link to the IntegrationTest_* tests there. The subsystem test files now use distinct prefixes (Cli_*, Sarif_*, SelfTest_*) so there's no name collision, and the subsystem reqstream yamls (cli.yaml, sarif.yaml, report.yaml, self-test.yaml) have been updated to reference those subsystem-scoped test names. The Architecture review in .reviewmark.yaml includes IntegrationTests.cs again.

@copilot Remember to examine the review-sets:

System-Architecture review-set MUST have ONLY [system-requirements, design-introduction, system-design, system-test-suite (IntegrationTests.cs, Runner.cs, AssemblyInfo.cs]
Subsystem review-sets MUST have ONLY [subsystem-requirements, subsystem-design, subsystem-test-suite]
Unit review-sets MUST have ONLY [unit-requirements, unit-design, unit-test-suite]

Remember to examine the test linkages:

system-requirements must be tested by the system-test-suite, but can 'children' link to subsystem and top-level unit requirements used to implement
subsystem-requirements must be tested by the subsystem-test-suite, but can 'children' link to the units used to implement
unit-requirements must be tested by the unit-test-suite

System-Architecture review-set MUST have ONLY [system-requirements, design-introduction, system-design, system-test-suite (IntegrationTests.cs, Runner....

Fixed in 630ce22. Here's what changed:

Review-sets (.reviewmark.yaml):

Architecture: [sarifmark.yaml, platform-requirements.yaml, introduction.md, sarifmark.md, IntegrationTests.cs, Runner.cs, AssemblyInfo.cs]
Subsystem reviews: [subsystem-requirements, subsystem-design, subsystem-test-suite] only
Unit reviews: [unit-requirements, unit-design, unit-test-suite] only — src/**/... removed from all six unit reviews
needs-review now excludes src/**/*.cs (source code is reviewed through the PR code review process)

Test linkages (program.yaml):

SarifMark-Program-SarifAnalysis no longer references IntegrationTest_* system test names; it now references Program_Main_ValidSarifFile_ProcessesSuccessfully, Program_Main_EnforceFlagWithIssues_ReturnsError, and Program_Main_ReportFile_CreatesReport — three new unit tests added to ProgramTests.cs that call Program.Main() directly.

All 117 tests pass; dotnet reqstream --lint and dotnet reviewmark --lint both clean.
