Selection is now a union over the changed files: - findings on added lines of git diff <base>...HEAD (kept: a second identical symbol in an already-flagged function collides on the stable key and only this selection sees it); - findings new versus the merge base, matched by (path, function, symbol) — never line numbers. Base sources are materialized via git show <merge-base>:<path>; files absent at base count every head finding as new. SKILL.md now states the residual same-file-only blind spot (cross-file async callers) instead of treating an empty list as proof of zero exposure, and only requires reading sop-skeleton.md when generalizing to another detector domain. * docs(skill): examples teach test-writing, the teeth check defines the rule All examples in the references/template are filesystem-flavored; make explicit that they are instances, not the SOP's boundary — the same rules apply to every detector category (FILE_IO, HTTP, SUBPROCESS, SLEEP) and acceptance is always red/green teeth, never similarity to an example. Neutralize the template's arrange comment accordingly. * fix(blocking-io): harden changed-lines scanner per review - Dedup the union selection by the stable key (path, function, symbol) instead of dict identity, so a future selector returning copied dicts cannot silently empty the result. - parse_changed_lines now handles any unified diff: context lines advance the new-file counter, \-markers and deletions do not, and the counter resets at each +++ header. Previously correct only for --unified=0. - Add blocking_io_static.scan_source (in-memory scan); base-version comparison no longer round-trips through temp files. - Empty Mode A report now prints the same-file-only reachability caveat at the point of use instead of relying on the SOP text alone. * docs(skill): bound best-effort cleanup when the offload sits in finally Lesson from the #3505 review: the SOP routinely drives 'offload the cleanup branch' transformations, and an awaited cleanup in finally can mask or stall the primary exception. One sentence in Step 2 closes that gap at the point where the fix is written.

Good anchor rules + teeth (blocking-IO fill)
Distilled from backend/docs/BLOCKING_IO_DETECTION.md. An anchor lives in
backend/tests/blocking_io/; the suite's conftest runs each test under the
strict Blockbuster gate scoped to app.* / deerflow.*.
The examples in this file and in templates/ are all filesystem-flavored.
They demonstrate how to write the test, not what the SOP covers: the same
rules apply to every category the detector reports (FILE_IO, HTTP,
SUBPROCESS, SLEEP), and the acceptance criterion is always the teeth check
below — never similarity to an example.
A good anchor
- Calls the real production async entry point — not a low-level helper, unless that helper is the entry point production executes.
- Does not bypass the blocking surface with a test-only
asyncio.to_thread/run_in_executorwrapper. - Uses real local filesystem inputs when the bug shape is filesystem IO.
- Mocks only the external dependency boundary (network service, third-party saver), never the offload being guarded.
- Drives the specific branch you are protecting (error / cleanup / 404 / 409), not just the happy path.
Teeth (the acceptance test)
An anchor only counts if the gate actually fires when the code blocks:
- Reintroduce the block (revert the offload, or run pre-fix code).
cd backend && make test-blocking-io→ the anchor must fail (RED).- Restore the fix → the anchor must pass (GREEN).
A green-on-happy-path anchor with no proven red is fake coverage. Don't ship it.
The RULE route (rare; strict admission criteria)
Blockbuster's built-in rules cover the common blocking primitives well. The two deliberate openings in this SOP are:
- Coverage opening (the normal case): the rules already see the primitive — you only need an anchor so runtime detection executes the real business path and CI prevents regression.
- Rule opening (rare): you reintroduced a real block and the gate stayed GREEN — Blockbuster has no rule for that primitive.
A project rule lives in _PROJECT_BLOCKING_RULES inside
backend/tests/support/detectors/blocking_io_runtime.py and changes detection
for the entire blocking-IO suite — global blast radius. Admission criteria
for adding one:
- You have the fails-to-fail anchor as evidence: a good anchor (per the rules above) that drives a genuinely blocking path and stays green. No evidence, no rule.
- The primitive is a real blocking call (verified against its implementation or docs), not a false positive of the static detector.
- The rule ships in its own commit, naming the primitive, the anchor that
exposed the gap, and the suite-wide impact. Run the full
make test-blocking-iosuite after adding it — a new rule can turn other previously-green tests red, and each such red is either a real latent bug (fix it) or rule overreach (narrow the rule). - If you are not in a position to own that blast radius (e.g. external contributor), escalate to a maintainer with the evidence instead.
Never add a runtime rule just because a path is untested — that case needs an anchor, not a rule.
