AariandGitHub a8bf54cbbb feat(skillscan): detect exfil through instance/dataflow network clients (#4265)
* feat(skillscan): detect exfil through instance/dataflow network clients

* fix(skillscan): resolve client handles with Python lexical scopes

_walk_client_nested_scope copied every live handle into a nested scope after
excluding only parameters. That is not Python's name resolution: a class
namespace is not a closure scope for its methods, a function-local binding
shadows an enclosing name across the whole body, and comprehensions bind their
targets in a scope of their own. Benign skills were therefore blocked as
python-env-dump-exfil (CRITICAL) even where the outbound-looking call provably
cannot run on the tracked client.

Derive each scope's bindings lexically instead:

- a class body reads its enclosing scope, but the names it binds are not passed
  into the methods defined in it;
- comprehensions are their own scope, so only the outermost iterable is
  evaluated outside and every for-target shadows first;
- a function-local prepass excludes names the body binds anywhere, with
  global/nonlocal opting back out.

Detection is unchanged where the client really is reachable: a comprehension
calling an unshadowed handle, a method closing over an enclosing function's
handle, and a global-declared module handle all still block.

* fix(skillscan): apply target rebinding in Python evaluation order

The generic ast.iter_child_nodes() fallback yields fields in declaration order,
which for `for`/`async for`, `:=` and `+=` puts the binding target ahead of the
expression Python evaluates to produce it. Visiting the target first dropped the
handle before the call that actually runs on it, so `for s in s.post(host, ...)`
reported nothing even though Python calls post() on the client before binding the
loop target. Match captures bind through a plain `name` string rather than a Name
node, so the Store branch never saw them and a rebound name kept a stale handle.
Assignment expressions inside a comprehension were applied only to the
comprehension-local map, leaving the containing scope stale as well.

Give every bind-after-evaluate construct its own branch:

- `for`/`async for` walk the iterable against the pre-loop binding, then rebind
  the target, then walk the body;
- `:=` walks its value first and binds into the containing scope too, since PEP
  572 puts a comprehension's walrus target there;
- `+=` walks its value before dropping the target;
- match captures drop the handle, matching how a rebind under `if`/`try` that may
  equally not execute is already treated.

The bypasses this closes are the reason detection widens here; the comprehension
walrus and match cases narrow it back where the client provably cannot be the
receiver.

* fix(skillscan): preserve scoped client handle semantics

* fix(skillscan): scan sinks inside assignment target expressions

The Assign/AnnAssign, AugAssign, For/AsyncFor, with, and comprehension
branches evaluated only the value and rebound the target, so a client
call placed in an attribute receiver or a subscript value/index -- both
evaluated at bind time -- was never scanned. os.environ could exfil
through a tracked client while python-env-dump-exfil reported nothing.

Add _walk_client_target_exprs to walk the executable parts of a binding
target (attribute receiver, subscript value+slice, recursing through
tuple/list/starred) in Python evaluation order, without treating Store
name leaves as reads. The AnnAssign annotation expression is walked too.
Name-leaf invalidation is unchanged.

* fix(skillscan): apply assignment targets and annotations in runtime order

The round of assignment-target scanning walked every target then rebound
the names in one batch, and always walked an AnnAssign annotation before
the target. Python instead binds chained and destructured targets left to
right (so `session = out[session.post(...)] = cfg` runs the subscript on
the already-rebound name), evaluates a variable annotation only in module
or class scope (never in a function, never under `from __future__ import
annotations`), and evaluates an executed annotation after the target.
The scanner therefore hard-blocked benign skills.

Bind each target left to right via _bind_client_targets (walk its
executable sub-expressions against the current bindings, then rebind
before the next target), and walk an annotation only for the nodes
_evaluated_annotation_nodes marks as actually evaluated, after the
target. Target-expression scanning and name-leaf invalidation are
otherwise unchanged.

* fix(skillscan): scan client sinks in evaluated function-signature annotations

A function's parameter and return annotations are evaluated at def time
in the enclosing scope, like its decorators and defaults, so a tracked
client sink placed in one is a real egress. _client_scope_prelude walked
the decorators and defaults but not the annotations, so os.environ could
exfil through `def f() -> session.post(host, json=dict(os.environ))`
while python-env-dump-exfil reported nothing.

Record function/async-function defs in _evaluated_annotation_nodes (their
signatures evaluate at def time unless from __future__ import annotations
postpones them) and, for those nodes, add the parameter and return
annotation expressions to the enclosing-scope prelude walk.

* fix(skillscan): match runtime evaluation order for annotations and except handlers

* fix(skillscan): scope try/match branches to their own selection state

* fix(skillscan): propagate branch bindings to everything that observes them

A branch's net effect has to be visible exactly where Python makes it visible.
The walker isolated `except`/`else`/`match` bodies into scope copies and then
discarded them, so a client created on the branch was invisible to `finally`,
to the code after the statement, and to anything defined inside the branch,
while a name the branch replaced stayed a sink receiver.

- `except*` clauses are sequential, not alternatives: thread one scope through
  body, clause types and clause bodies in source order instead of reusing the
  mutually exclusive copies ordinary `except` needs.
- Fold each `except`/`else`/`match` branch's net effect back into the scope that
  `finally` and the following code read, and make the branch scope what nested
  definitions close over.
- Keep a fallthrough scope across `match` guards, so a guard that returned false
  still hands its side effects to the next case, while pattern captures stay
  isolated to their own case.
- Keep an `as` target path-local: Python unbinds it only on the path that ran, so
  dropping it for every path erased a live handle where no such handler executed.

Adds a 14-case runtime-oracle regression covering both directions at every
branch site; each of the ten guards was deleted on its own to confirm the test
that pins it goes red.

* fix(skillscan): join alternative branches instead of overwriting one with another

Only one of a statement's alternative branches runs, but the walker folded each
one into a single destructive binding map. Whichever branch was visited last
therefore decided the state: a handler that rebinds the name erased a sibling
that leaves the client in place (missing a client Python really calls), and a
handler that builds one was credited on paths where it never ran (inventing a
CRITICAL sink). Alias targets had the mirror problem, since only key presence
was compared, so replacing `import x as name` on a live branch was ignored.

- Join alternatives into a may-state: a name stays a sink receiver when any
  feasible branch leaves it a client, and stops being one only when every
  feasible branch replaced it. Alias targets join toward the target that can
  still name a constructor.
- Treat each `except*` clause as optional rather than threading every clause
  body unconditionally, so a clause whose type never matched cannot erase a
  handle the next clause calls.
- Keep the fall-through state (no exception raised, no case matched) as one more
  alternative, and drop it only where the source decides the outcome: a literal
  always-raising body selecting one handler, a literal exception group choosing
  `except*` clauses, a wildcard or literal-equal `match` case.

Also corrects an existing match-capture test that asserted the non-exhaustive
case is benign: the runtime oracle shows the original client still takes the
call on the path where nothing matched. Adds runtime-oracle regressions for both
directions at every alternative site; each of the nine guards was deleted on its
own to confirm the test pinning it goes red.

* fix(skillscan): model feasible conditional client flow

* fix(skillscan): preserve feasible control-flow outcomes

* fix(skillscan): model expression evaluation paths

* fix(skillscan): narrow instance-client detection to lexical statement order

The construction-to-use signal had grown into a path-aware interpreter:
exception selection, except* subgroup consumption, match capture timing,
finally override, comprehension laziness, annotation evaluation order, and
may-state joins over feasible branches. That is the heavyweight analysis
RFC #2634 rules out of Phase 5, and because the signal feeds a CRITICAL
rule it hard-blocks skill installation, so every ambiguity it resolved by
over-reporting cost a benign skill instead of a human review.

Replace it with ordinary statement order over a one-level handle map: a
known constructor bound to a simple name (including `with ... as`), a
direct outbound method call on that name in the same lexical scope,
rebinding invalidation, and name-to-name alias propagation so `s = session`
does not shed the handle. A sink is recorded at the call, so a rebind after
the call cannot retract it.

Compound statements are not interpreted. Every name an if/try/except*/loop/
match may bind is dropped before its bodies are walked, and each body is
walked from an isolated copy. Dropping before rather than after is what
keeps a `finally` that runs after a handler rebound the name, a later
except* clause, and a second loop iteration from reporting a client the
runtime never calls. Bodies are still walked, or wrapping any construction
in `if True:` would be a universal bypass.

Lexical scoping is unchanged: class namespaces are not closures for their
methods, comprehension targets and function-local bindings shadow, and
alias visibility stays per scope.

The cases this gives up are false negatives by construction and are
recorded in #4296, pinned by a test that asserts the runtime really calls
the client while the scanner stays silent.

Verified: 102 SkillScan tests; full suite 8 failed / 7851 passed, the same
network-dependent web-fetch tests that fail on clean main; per-clause red
check 12/12 guards red; 925 repo-owned files scanned branch vs main with 0
new and 0 lost CRITICAL findings; #4158 bypass BLOCKED and #4153 false
positive allowed with 0 findings through the real enforce_static_scan gate.

* test(skillscan): pin closure boundary

* refactor(skillscan): narrow client handle analysis

* fix(skillscan): close client handle correctness gaps

* fix(skillscan): require proven client imports
