Refute false-positive findings against source lines before they are surfaced, dropping matches that sit inside comments, string literals, or known example values. Tests: 41 passed in tests/test_code_analyzer.py plus 53 in tests/test_routes_userspace_apps.py.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe code analyzer now re-checks each finding against its source line. It removes findings from comments, string literals, known example values, and invalid line numbers. Tests cover these cases and valid findings. ChangesAdversarial verification
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change can suppress valid critical security findings before the server-side installation decision, allowing unsafe submitted source such as hardcoded secrets, dangerous URL values, or executable code to pass the security gate. The PR is not merge-ready until verification is tied to the exact detector match and safely handles comments and string syntax. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

CRITICAL: String-detection heuristic is inverted — before.count('"') % 2 == 1 returns True when the trigger token sits outside any string, not inside it.
An odd quote count in before means a string was opened and not yet closed before the trigger; the trigger itself is past the closing quote (or the unclosed quote is ahead of it). Concretely, let s = "hi"; eval(x) has before = 'let s = "hi"; ' with one ", so the function returns True and the finding is dropped — suppressing a real vulnerability.
The test test_string_literal_is_refuted happens to pass only because the trigger is genuinely inside the string; the bug is hidden. Add a test where the trigger follows a closed string literal on the same line.

WARNING: Out-of-range findings are silently dropped. continue discards findings whose f.line exceeds the file length, which can mask real detector bugs (e.g. a miscount in an off-by-one detector) and silently shrink the user's security surface. At minimum, log a warning or surface a low-severity finding so the discrepancy is auditable.

WARNING: Comment detection only inspects lines that start with //, /*, or *. This misses:
- Trailing inline comments:
const x = 5; // eval(userInput)will still report a real pattern inside a comment as a live finding. - Python (
#) and other-language comments. - The middle lines of multi-line block comments that don't begin with
*(common when the previous line has no leading*).
If a finding's pattern sits inside a comment anywhere on the line, the refute logic should detect that. Consider scanning the line for a // or # outside any string, or tokenizing the line properly.

SUGGESTION: The quote-count heuristic does not handle escaped quotes (\") or template literals (backticks). Lines like let s = "he said \"hi\""; eval(x) will miscount and either refute or fail to refute incorrectly. A tokenizer (or at minimum skipping \ before each quote) would be more robust.

SUGGESTION: The adversarial-verify test suite has no coverage for the most common false-positive trap the heuristic must handle — a trigger token that follows a closed string literal on the same line (e.g. let s = "hi"; eval(x)). Adding such a test would have surfaced the inverted-odd-count bug above. Also add coverage for: Python # comments, trailing inline // comments, escaped quotes, and multi-line block-comment middle lines.

Keep dangerous-url-scheme findings for javascript: literals.
The verifier drops normal matches such as const url = "javascript:..." because the detector intentionally matches quoted URL literals. This lets submitted source bypass the security control. Use rule-specific parsing to distinguish inert strings from dangerous URL values.

Verify the actual detector match, not the first token on the line.
network-exfil also matches new WebSocket(...), but _trigger_is_inside_string always searches for the first fetch( token. An earlier inert token can therefore suppress a real finding later on the same line. Preserve the detector match span and inspect that span.

Use lexical state instead of quote counts.
When a line contains const label = "it's safe"; eval(userInput);, _trigger_is_inside_string returns True and drops the real eval-like-execution finding. Track escapes and backtick literals before classifying the detector token.
