Distilled from reviewing real AI-pentest output that kept stopping at "exposed"
instead of "exploited". Pure-additive, back-compatible.
Behavior (injected into black/grey/chain exploit prompts via DEPTH_DOCTRINE):
- Exposed → exploited: any info-disclosure / exposed service/WSDL / leaked
credential|token / reachable dev host MUST be used before it's a finding;
otherwise it's a lead, not a confirmed High/Critical.
- Chain across modules: reuse obtained session/JWT/cookie/credential and pivot
to IDOR/privesc/exfil; report the chain, not isolated parts.
- Decode & fingerprint → CVE; audit tokens (alg-confusion/none/kid/JWKS, weak
HS256 secret cracking, lifecycle).
Deterministic post-pass (new crates/harness/src/hygiene.rs, wired into finish()):
- calibrate severity to PROVEN impact — unproven High/Critical (hedged, no
payload, thin evidence) capped to Medium and re-titled "(potential)";
- depth_audit — flag exposures on a host with no real exploit;
- hygiene_summary — advise consolidating hygiene classes repeated across assets.
Unit tests cover calibration + depth audit.
5 new doctrine meta-agents (scripts/build_methodology_v352.py → agents_md/meta/):
exploit_depth_doctrine, finding_chainer, artifact_decoder, token_auditor,
report_calibrator (meta 17→22, total 343→348).
Version bumped 3.5.1 → 3.5.2 across crates/app/installers/docs; RELEASE/README
updated.

REPL (rustyline Helper):
- Tab autocomplete for /commands and @filesystem-paths.
- @path attach: @file, @folder, @file:LINE / @file:START-END fold scope files /
stack traces into the agent context; /attach <path> and /context to manage.
- Multiline input: end a line with `\` to continue (validator-driven).
- /theme color|mono, /config (=/show); history (↑/↓) persists as before.
- Attachments are merged into the run's instruction context.
Install:
- setup.sh: `curl … | bash` — auto-installs Rust, clones to ~/.neurosploit,
builds release, links neurosploit into ~/.local/bin; idempotent; env-tunable.
README: v3.5.0, 🧠 (back to "neuro"), one-line install section, neurosploit-on-PATH usage.
