From cc2b920c16e82d2bb07ccbc97a49c9aa5bc92f0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark2Mac Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:00:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(static): markdown table and quote syntax is not an execution signal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `_is_documentation_context` refuses to treat a line as prose when `_EXECUTION_SIGNAL` matches it, and that pattern includes `[|>]`. In markdown those two characters are structure, not shell metacharacters: `|` delimits table cells and `>` starts a block quote. A governed rule that lands on a table row or a quoted paragraph is therefore never classified as prose, whatever it says. The delimiters are now removed before the execution test, and only the delimiters. Inside a table cell a literal pipe has to be written `\|` (CommonMark), so a documented `cmd \| tee log` keeps its pipe and still counts as an execution signal — which is what makes this safe rather than a widening. Scope, stated plainly: this is a correctness fix, not a precision win. On a corpus of 65 real skill/plugin units (4415 findings, all triaged by hand) only 8 findings of the governed rules were blocked by markdown structure alone, across 4 files. After the change 1 remains, and it has a genuine execution signal on the line. The reason to fix it is that the classification is simply wrong, not that it is frequent. Nothing is added to `_SEMANTIC_STRING_DOC_PRONE_RULES`: the set stays {RA1, TM1, AR2}, and the reasoning that excludes PE3 is untouched. Tests: table row and block quote are classified as prose; a literal escaped pipe in a cell and a real redirection in a quote still are not; plus a unit test that `_strip_markdown_structure` touches delimiters and nothing else. Full suite: 1565 passed, 14 skipped, 6 xfailed.

The prefix is the whole fix. Guarded package-wide rather than per-file: the new test compiles every shipped module and fails on any SyntaxWarning, so the next one is caught where it is written instead of in a reviewer's terminal. Tests: tests/unit 727 passed, 12 skipped.
