From 88c7ef822838736fb16db626c11154acf79679e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anand Krishnamoorthi <35780660+anakrish@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 15:20:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(copilot): add multi-agent code review skills (#707) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add Copilot review skills, project instructions, and coding agent setup for automated code review on regorus PRs. Files added: - .github/copilot-instructions.md — project context (no_std, 9 bindings, dual execution paths, deny lints, security-critical evaluation) - .github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md — fast single-agent review (~2 min) - .github/skills/deep-review/SKILL.md — multi-agent deep review (~12 min) - .github/copilot-setup-steps.yml — minimal coding agent environment Development and testing methodology: The skills were developed iteratively (v3 through v11.4) against a 460-line SARIF output module on the feature/sarif-output branch, which served as a controlled test bed with 25 known issues of varying severity (correctness, safety, API design, platform, security, performance). Each version was tested by running the skill via the Copilot CLI, then mapping discovered findings against the ground truth set to measure recall and precision. Key iterations: - v3: baseline single-agent (8/25 recall, 32%) - v7: 3 parallel agents + verification (14/25, 56%) - v10c: model diversity + adversarial pass (10/25, 40%) - v11.3: merged adversarial-verifier architecture (12/25 + 2 novel, 0 noise) - v11.4: domain expertise prompting (12/25 + 2 novel, 0 noise, full report) The final architecture uses 3 parallel discovery agents (with cross-model diversity and context asymmetry), risk-triggered micro-passes, and a single adversarial verifier that both validates candidates via disproval and hunts blind spots. Agents are prompted to reason from policy-author perspective across Rego/OPA, Azure Policy, and RVM workloads. Combined CR+DR catches 16-17/25 ground truth with zero false positives and produces verified findings with confidence levels, test gap analysis, and agent performance metrics.

Flag any discrepancy you notice. + +## Identity + +Regorus is a **multi-policy-language evaluation engine** written in Rust. Its +primary language is [Rego](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-language/) +(Open Policy Agent), with extensible support for additional policy languages via +`src/languages/`. It is used in **production at scale** where **correctness is +security-critical** — a bug in policy evaluation can mean `allow` when the +answer should be `deny`. + +**Key properties:** +- 9 language bindings: C, C (no_std), C++, C#, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, WASM (via `bindings/ffi/`) +- Core crate: `#![no_std]` + `extern crate alloc`; `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` + (default Cargo features include `std` — the crate is no_std-*capable*, not no_std-only) +- Two execution paths: tree-walking interpreter and **RVM** (bytecode VM) +- ~53 deny lints in `src/lib.rs` — restricts panics, unchecked indexing, and unchecked arithmetic + (some modules like `value.rs` locally `#![allow(...)]` specific lints for performance) + +**Strategic direction** (aspirational — not all implemented yet): +- **RVM is the preferred execution path** — new optimization work focuses there; + interpreter remains fully supported and is the default today +- **Error migration** — `anyhow` → `thiserror` strongly typed errors (RVM leads) +- **Formal verification** — Miri (active CI), Z3 and Verus (planned) +- **Multi-policy-language** — extensible via `src/languages/` + +## Key Invariants + +These are the most important rules that are not obvious from the code alone: + +- **Undefined ≠ false** — Rego uses three-valued logic. Undefined propagates + silently; forgetting this causes wrong allow/deny decisions. +- **Panics in FFI = permanent poisoning** — the engine uses `with_unwind_guard()` + and a process-global poisoned flag. Any panic across FFI makes *all* engine + instances in the process permanently unusable. +- **Dual execution paths** — interpreter (tree-walking) and RVM (bytecode VM) + must produce identical results for all inputs. Both must be tested. + (Exception: some language extensions like Azure RBAC are interpreter-only.) +- **Resource limits** — `enforce_limit()` must be called in accumulation loops + to bound memory/CPU from adversarial policies. +- **Error migration** — new modules use `thiserror` enums; existing modules use + `anyhow`. Don't mix within a module. +- **Feature gating** — new public modules need `#[cfg(feature = "...")]` gates. + Verify builds with `--all-features` and `--no-default-features`. + +## Essential Coding Rules + +**No panics — ever** (deny lints enforce this): +```rust +// Use typed errors for new code +let v = map.get("key").ok_or(MyError::MissingKey("key"))?; +// Or anyhow in existing modules +let v = map.get("key").ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("missing key"))?; +``` + +**Prefer safe indexing** — use `.get()` + `?` or iterate where possible. +`clippy::indexing_slicing` is denied crate-wide but locally allowed in some +performance-critical modules (e.g., `value.rs`). + +**No unchecked arithmetic** — use `checked_add()`, `saturating_add()`, etc. + +**no_std discipline** (applies to `src/` core crate) — `use core::` and `alloc::` +by default. Only `std::` behind `#[cfg(feature = "std")]`. + +**Unsafe forbidden** — `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` in the core crate. Only FFI +binding crates may use unsafe. + +**Error handling** — new modules: `thiserror` enums (see `src/rvm/vm/errors.rs`). +Existing modules: `anyhow` is acceptable for consistency within the module. + +**Feature gating** — gate modules, registrations, and public API.
