Summary

tests/update/update-mutation-guard.test.ts failed on Windows in dev batch 42580170093, twice (windows 10/11, attempts 1 and 2), and earlier at 28b38f9. Both lint cases fail: known-pattern lint finds no unclassified update primitive references and known-pattern helper inventory has explicit control-site contracts, each with the same 45 unique violations. All of them are in the offline signed-update verification modules #8294 added: minisign.mjs, signed-supply.mjs, update-bounded-json.mjs, update-checkpoint-codec.mjs, update-contracts.mjs, update-signature-threshold.mjs and update-signed-version.mjs.

Two reasons kept this out of sight. The lint parser (TypeScript 7's sync client) cannot start under Bun on POSIX, so these cases only run on Windows, and PR CI is Ubuntu. And a Windows shard stops at its first failing batch, so whenever an earlier batch in windows 10/11 failed (at 1d16d79 it was #8360), the lint batch never ran.

None of these are capability acquisitions. The modules are pure verification over caller-supplied bytes, with no filesystem, process, network or runtime access. The violations are:

  • Relative imports between these modules that were never added to the reviewed static-import table.
  • createPublicKey and verify from node:crypto.
  • Three Reflect.ownKeys exact-key checks. Reflect is a forbidden root, which also tainted names.
  • VERSION.exec and NUMBER.exec, which are RegExp#exec calls flagged only because the name is exec.

The change follows the existing review-sidecar pattern:

  • New tests/helpers/update-review-signed-supply.ts holds the reviewed static imports, five exact-site primitive rows and three helper-inventory contract rows, each with a reason. The three Reflect.ownKeys rows are keyed on the complete expression, so any other Reflect member at those sites is still flagged. It is merged into the import, primitive, process and helper-contract tables the same way as the orchestrated-entry and orchestrated-child sidecars.
  • update-capability-policy.ts adds createPublicKey and verify to the node:crypto read-only set beside createHash: one builds a key object from bytes, the other checks a signature.

No production code changes.

Verification

  • The lint cannot start under Bun on macOS, so I ran both cases under Node 26 (type stripping, plus a resolve hook for extensionless imports and import.meta.dir), replicating every assertion of update-mutation-guard.test.ts, including case 2's requirement that each inventoried site is claimed by exactly one contract row. On dev: the 45 unique violations from the Windows log, plus 52 unmatched inventory sites. With this change: 0 failures.
  • Narrowness: rewriting Reflect.ownKeys(descriptors) in signed-supply.mjs to Reflect.apply(...) brings back the forbidden-root violation and the unmatched site (4 failures). Mutation reverted.
  • bun test tests/update/ (macOS, isolated HOME): 1026 pass, 317 skip, 1 fail. The failure is update-stop-first "npm launcher restarts the stopped runtime after a staged update failure", which fails the same way on unmodified dev on this machine and is unrelated.
  • bun run typecheck: pass.
  • NOT RUN: Windows. The proof is windows 10/11 in the next dev batch.

This is regression-lint data, which the files describe as "not a security boundary or completeness proof", and it changes no runtime update authority. It does decide which update-module references count as reviewed, so a maintainer may want to check the five exact-site rows and the two crypto names.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (test lint data only)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (no runtime change; review rows listed above)

Walkthrough

The update-review test helpers now define signedSupplyReview for signed-update verification modules and include its entries in the existing policy aggregators. The crypto allowlist adds createPublicKey and verify.

Changes: Signed supply review policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define signed supply review data
tests/helpers/update-review-signed-supply.ts, tests/helpers/update-capability-policy.ts
The new review table lists static imports and five primitive-operation entries for signed-update verification modules. Its deferred imports, process entries, and contracts are empty. The crypto allowlist adds createPublicKey and verify.
Include signed supply policy
tests/helpers/update-helper-control-contracts.ts, tests/helpers/update-import-policy.ts, tests/helpers/update-primitive-allowlist.ts, tests/helpers/update-process-allowlist.ts
The exported helper policy arrays now include the corresponding contracts, static and deferred imports, primitive entries, and process entries from signedSupplyReview.

Add the three missing review contracts before merging: the update lint still fails when its parser runs. The supported issue affects validation, not runtime update authority.

Explanation

The title "test(update): review the signed-update verification modules in the update lint" matches the main change. The PR adds signedSupplyReview, an UpdateReviewTable covering the signed-update verification modules, and extends the node:crypto read-only set with createPublicKey and verify. The title is specific, uses a conventional prefix, and is under 80 characters. It does not describe production code changes, which the objectives say are absent, so it is accurate.

Add contracts for the three Reflect.ownKeys calls.

When the sync parser starts and the scanner reports no violations, the helper inventory still classifies these calls as sensitive. The empty contracts array leaves them unmatched, so the inventory test fails. Add one contract for each call.

Merge judgment for 6c7fa54: merge.

  • Cause: since Add offline signed-update verification and checkpoint codec #8294, the Windows-only update lint (tests/update/update-mutation-guard.test.ts) reported 45 unreviewed references in the offline signed-update verification modules, plus 52 unmatched helper-inventory sites. It failed windows 10/11 twice in dev batch 42580170093. It had stayed hidden because the lint parser skips on POSIX and a Windows shard stops at its first failing batch.
  • Change: test lint data only. A review sidecar for the seven pure verification modules adds reviewed static imports, two RegExp#exec rows, three Reflect.ownKeys(...) rows keyed on the complete expression, and the matching inventory contracts. It also adds createPublicKey and verify to the node:crypto read-only set beside createHash.
  • Independent review: round 1 REQUEST-CHANGES on a4757b1. It found unmatched inventory sites (blocker), Reflect keys that were too broad, and an overstated verification claim; all three were folded. A fresh final reviewer approved 6c7fa54 (APPROVE-WITH-NITS) after replicating both lint cases at 0 failures, flagging Reflect.apply/construct/getOwnPropertyNames substitutions at every site, and re-measuring the base counts. Nits not taken: contract wording ("decoded" also covers encode input), and the option of scoping the two crypto names per module instead of in the shared set, which follows the createHash precedent.
  • Exact-head PR CI: gates, test changed green.
  • Maintainer integration into dev under MAINTAINERS.md's dev-only PR bypass (owner account, admin). This is not a self-approval, and there are no outstanding change requests.
  • NOT RUN: Windows. The next dev batch (windows 10/11) is the proof.
