CyberSecurityUPandClaude Opus 4.8 e4efa9bbb0 v3.5.2 — Exploitation Depth & Report Hygiene
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.

//! Report-hygiene & exploitation-depth pass (v3.5.2).
//!
//! Encodes the post-engagement discipline learned from reviewing real
//! AI-pentest output, applied deterministically after validation:
//! 1. **Calibrate severity to PROVEN impact** — an unproven High/Critical
//! (hedged language, no payload, thin evidence) is capped to Medium and
//! re-titled "(potential)". No inflated severities.
//! 2. **Exposed → exploited** — flag info-disclosure / exposed-service /
//! leaked-credential findings on a host that has no actual exploit, so the
//! operator knows to *use* what was exposed (or down-rate it to a lead).
//! 3. **Consolidate hygiene** — when the same hygiene class (missing headers,
//! clickjacking, cookie flags, TLS, info-disclosure…) repeats across many
//! assets, advise merging into ONE finding with an affected-asset table,
//! instead of inflating the count one-per-host.
//!
//! All functions are pure/deterministic; only `calibrate` mutates findings
//! (severity/title/confidence). The rest return advisory strings streamed to
//! the operator and recorded with the run.
