Conversation
Remove the blanket || true that swallowed import errors, libFuzzer crash exits, and hangs alike; route crash reproducers to tests/fuzzing/artifacts/ via -artifact_prefix and upload them on failure (the old gate inspected tests/fuzzing/corpus/, which nothing ever wrote to); fail the job when the fuzz_*.py glob matches nothing. Same shape as the Extended Fuzzing fix merged in #251 (LAB-1136). scripts/fuzz-python.sh gets the identical contract so 'make fuzz-quick' stops lying locally.
Root cause of the audit's 'zero fuzzing while green' finding (LAB-2528 Finding 1): atheris.instrument_imports() instrumented pydantic, whose instrumented bytecode segfaults CPython 3.11 in _decorators.merge_seqs during pydantic_settings CLI-provider model construction (imported transitively via cachekit.hiredis_compat). SIGSEGV during startup, before one fuzz iteration — swallowed by the workflow's || true every night. Fix: pre-import pydantic/pydantic_settings outside the instrumentation block; we fuzz cachekit's code, not third-party bytecode. The targets had also rotted against APIs deleted while they were dead: cachekit.serializers.raw.RawSerializer and decorators.main.redis_cache no longer exist, and EncryptionWrapper moved tenant_id to the constructor and grew mandatory cache_key AAD binding. Rewritten against the live API, same intent, stronger asserts (AAD wrong-key and cross-tenant decrypt must fail authentication). Verified locally: all three run clean 15 s (2.9M / 278k / 312k execs), and a deliberate crash drops its reproducer in tests/fuzzing/artifacts/ with a non-zero exit.
Panel verdict FIX-FIRST; all accepted findings applied: - decorator target: bound L1 (max_size_mb=8) — default 100MB accounted budget reaches ~1.5GB real RSS over 600s (per-entry overhead uncounted), within 25% of libFuzzer's rss_limit_mb=2048 OOM kill; comments corrected to stop claiming serialization coverage L1-only mode doesn't run - all targets: pre-import shield broadened from pydantic-only to the full third-party set (numpy/pandas/pyarrow/redis/msgpack/xxhash/prometheus) — instrumented third-party bytecode is the proven startup-SIGSEGV class, one dep bump from a permanent-red nightly - encryption target: cross-tenant check now FORGES metadata (tenant_id + key_fingerprint) so it must die at the AES-GCM layer, not the unauthenticated metadata string compare - fuzz-python.sh: atheris probe used PATH python while targets run under uv — on Linux without an active venv it soft-skipped green having fuzzed nothing; now only Darwin soft-skips, everything else runs and fails loudly - both loops: timeout -k 30s (libFuzzer traps SIGTERM) + libFuzzer -timeout=60 per-input watchdog so a hang leaves a timeout-* reproducer - artifact retention 30d -> 7d (public repo: reproducer = ready-made PoC) - rename fuzz_raw_serializer.py -> fuzz_byte_storage.py (RawSerializer no longer exists); delete dead tests/fuzzing/corpus/ (nothing writes or reads it) Rejected (with reasons in PR): consolidating the CI loop into the script (AC pins 3.11 inline; LAB-1136 precedent is inline), trimming the tombstone comment (load-bearing per pragmatism review).

…I (LAB-1140) Two things stood between this PR and an honestly-green CI. 1. The fuzz oracles were `assert`, which the peephole optimiser strips under -O / PYTHONOPTIMIZE. A target run that way explores millions of inputs, verifies nothing, and reports no crashes — the same "green means nothing" failure this PR exists to remove, just reached by a different route. All six oracles across the three targets now raise AssertionError explicitly, so the type Atheris classifies and the artifact signature are unchanged while the check itself is no longer optional. Kody flagged only fuzz_byte_storage.py; the other two carried the identical latent fault and are already in this PR's diff, so fixing one and leaving two would have been a band-aid. Note the encryption target had already reached this conclusion for its AAD-binding and tenant-isolation oracles, which raise RuntimeError — the remaining asserts were the inconsistency. ruff's tests/** per-file-ignore of S101 is not evidence against this: it exists because pytest is built on assert, rewrites assertions, and never runs under -O. These targets are standalone scripts invoked as `uv run python <target>`, where neither of those protections applies. 2. pip-audit reds the PR on PYSEC-2026-3721 — pip 26.1.2 mishandles doubly-encoded index URLs and can write outside the target directory when installing from a malicious index. Bumped the existing dev-only constraint-dependencies pin to pip>=26.2 (the mechanism and comment style already in place for urllib3/h2/werkzeug) and relocked. Verified against pip-audit directly: clean at 26.2. Verified: byte_storage target runs 9.5M iterations clean, and again under -O; ruff check and ruff format clean on tests/fuzzing/.

Expert-panel finding (craftsman, high stakes): the assert->raise rewrite is a deliberate deviation from this repo's own convention — pyproject.toml grants S101 to tests/** precisely so tests may assert freely — and a deviation with no stated reason gets "cleaned up" back to a one-line assert, at which point the oracle silently becomes strippable again and the fuzz job goes back to lying. One comment per target names the reason. The encryption target's comment also points at the AAD-binding and tenant-isolation oracles directly below it, which already raise — so the file reads as one consistent rule rather than two conventions.
Expert panel — high stakes, appliedRan the mandatory panel (bug-hunter-supreme, security-specialist, code-craftsman, catchphrase-agent) over Applied — the assert→raise rewrite is a deliberate deviation from this repo's own convention ( Security specialist, on the crypto-adjacent questions (the reason this hit the gate):
Bug-hunter specifically checked the type-coercion risk I'd flagged as the likely trap — Catchphrase defended the change rather than cutting it, which is worth recording since it's the agent whose job is to cut: under Verified after the comment change: target still runs clean (3.7M iterations), |
CodeRabbit follow-up, and a fair catch: both pip-audit steps carry a comment naming the constraint versions, and each ends with "Keep this list IDENTICAL to <the other> so the two cannot drift." Bumping pyproject to pip>=26.2 without touching them is exactly the drift the comment exists to prevent. Both now read pip>=26.2. Also replaced "pinned" with "floored" — >= is a minimum, not an exact pin, and the old wording invited someone to go looking for a pin that was never there.

@coderabbitai review Pushed 92f177a (expert-panel finding: each fuzz target now says why its oracle raises instead of asserting) and d6bd3d1 (your catch — both pip-audit workflow comments were left stale by the constraint bump, now synced to pip>=26.2 and reworded from 'pinned' to 'floored'). The Python Dependency CVEs check is green again. |

The nightly

SIGSEGV → no traceback → eaten by|| true. The targets had also rotted against deleted APIs while dead (cachekit.serializers.raw,decorators.main.redis_cache, per-calltenant_id) — proof they never executed even once.Net effect:
Security Deep Successwas green nightly with ~41 s of "30 min" fuzzing and zero iterations, feeding a falseatheris-fuzzing: successto the working failure-alert path.Fix
Workflow (same shape as the merged Extended Fuzzing precedent from #251 / LAB-1136):

instrument_imports()(pydantic and the rest of the third-party set — instrumented third-party bytecode is the proven startup-crash class; we fuzz cachekit's code).fuzz_byte_storage.py(renamed fromfuzz_raw_serializer.py—RawSerializerno longer exists) roundtrips the ByteStorage FFI and requires hostile envelopes to raise cleanValueError;fuzz_encryption_wrapper.pyasserts roundtrip, AAD cache-key binding, and tenant isolation with forged metadata (must die at the AES-GCM layer, not the unauthenticated metadata compare);fuzz_decorator_stack.pyfuzzes the L1-only decorator stack with a bounded L1 (default budget reaches ~1.5 GB real RSS over 600 s — inside libFuzzer's 2 GB OOM kill).Local counterpart (
scripts/fuzz-python.sh, per the LAB-1136 sweep lesson): same contract; the old atheris probe used PATHpythonwhile targets run underuv run, so on Linux without an active venv it soft-skipped green having fuzzed nothing — now only Darwin soft-skips.Dead

Verdict FIX-FIRST, all accepted findings applied in the follow-up commit: decorator-target RSS growth bounded (measured 154→356 MB/60 s unbounded, plateaus <260 MB bounded); pre-import shield broadened beyond pydantic; forged-metadata tenant check;

scripts/fuzz-python.sh(the AC requires the explicit--python 3.11pin inline in the workflow, and #251's precedent is inline steps; mitigated with keep-in-sync cross-references in both files); trimming the tombstone comment (pragmatism review ruled the old-gate autopsy load-bearing at these stakes).Docs gate
Pass run; no docs needed beyond the diff itself: no doc surface documents the corpus-gate behavior being removed;
