Arjun Malleswaranandezl-keygraph 9767ebe633 feat: Shannon 3.0 Agentic SAST (#433)
* feat(worker): add agentic static analysis

Add the ten-stage Agentic SAST pipeline, confined repository tools, model runtime, prompt templates, and SARIF export.

Make retries, repair sessions, reduced coverage, usage accounting, and model-output drift durable across Temporal replay and resume. Keep retry diagnostics in their actionable closed vocabulary. Package the Mantis-derived license material with the prompts that require it.

* feat(worker): deduplicate static and runtime findings before exploitation

Parse Agentic SAST SARIF into typed observations, enrich and route those observations, and reconcile them with pentest findings before exploitation.

Publish deterministic exploitation queues with stable lineage, exact-path Git commits, retry-safe manifests, named drop reasons, and confined task formation. Reject duplicate producer IDs before commit and adopt either legal provenance shape after a lost acknowledgement.

* feat(config)!: replace vuln_classes with agentic_sast

Wire Agentic SAST and reconciliation into the main pipeline, persist their durable state, and add the Miscellaneous finding and exploitation lane.

Make scan completion, cancellation, partial outcomes, resume identity, and report recovery use the integrated final workflow contract. Introduce the atomic finalization, ordering, renumbering, compaction, and output services that workflow calls. Keep completed Miscellaneous work and report drafts idempotent across resume, preserve public main's default-on exploit SARIF behavior, and describe stage-fallback candidates without claiming they were exported.

BREAKING CHANGE: `vuln_classes` has been removed. Configs containing it now fail validation, and all five core pentest classes run on every scan.

Workspaces created by Shannon 2.x cannot be resumed. Finish or discard in-flight scans before upgrading, then start a new workspace name.

* perf: overlap static analysis and the Miscellaneous lane with the pentest

Run Agentic SAST alongside vulnerability analysis and run Miscellaneous exploitation alongside the specialist exploitation lanes.

Keep reconciliation dependent on the completed static-analysis result while preserving parallel work everywhere that has no data dependency.

* feat(cli)!: default the scan target and add a JSON error contract

List local scans, resolve the active or most recent workspace automatically, and make logs, status, and stop use one canonical scan identity.

Add stable machine-readable failures, richer status output, explicit help errors, and seven-day Temporal retention. Treat absent Temporal pending-activity failures as absent whether the decoder represents them as `null` or missing.

BREAKING CHANGE: `status --json` now returns a fixed `failureMessage`. Read `partialReasons`, `agenticSast`, and `workflow.log` for diagnostic detail.

* feat(logging): trace tool calls and write a log per agent

Record complete tool-call arguments in the workflow log and project each agent's events into its own durable log.

Add agent listing and agent-specific log tailing while preserving byte-exact output and draining log handles before
activities return.

* feat(worker): standardize severity and reporting guidance in exploit prompts

Give every exploit agent the same status, confidence, severity-reasoning, report-writing, credential-handling, and
scope contract.

Apply the same task-formation and SAST-enrichment procedure to the Miscellaneous lane.

* feat(worker): disclose scan coverage and make reporting auditable

Build on the retry-safe finalization foundation to preserve correct identities, source locations, scan dates,
partial-coverage limitations, and consistent report JSON, Markdown, SARIF, and PDF output.

Report Agentic SAST, reconciliation wall-clock time, stage usage, retry spend, and background work without duplicate
or hardcoded totals. Keep report findings canonical, drop cross-class restatements, name enrichment losses, and render
the executive-summary narrative in the PDF.

* chore(license): attribute Mantis and Pi and refresh the docs

Add the final Mantis and Pi notices, license copies, acknowledgements, and residual copyright updates.

Update the README, maintained documentation, contributor guidance, and hand-maintained mirrors to describe Agentic
SAST, reconciliation, the Miscellaneous lane, current CLI behavior, and the final release contract. Correct stale
workspace and container guidance and annotate long-standing internals for maintainers.

* fix(logging): treat a slash as a word separator in agent labels

* feat(cli)!: rebuild scan status around model work

- show Capella stages beneath the concurrent Agentic SAST phase
- attach reconciliation time to the class row it feeds
- hide completed bookkeeping and the duplicate miscellaneous wrapper
- carry validated child-workflow progress into durable parent state
- derive the terminal tree and status JSON from the same phase shape

BREAKING CHANGE: `status --json` replaces phase `parallel` with `children` and `meta`, adds phase summaries and notes plus agent attachment fields, and removes the `analysis-engines` and `operational-work` phases.

* fix(report): drop the empty Critical Findings section from the PDF summary

* fix(sast): align Capella export with the submit-time code-path contract

The export gate required every code_paths entry to be file:line, but submit only
requires the primary sink to be file:line and accepts bare trace steps. A single
malformed trace step therefore dropped an otherwise-valid finding at export.

- add isValidPrimaryCodePath as the one shared primary-sink contract
- validate only the primary at export; buildResult already drops unusable steps
- route the submit-time validator through the same helper so the two cannot drift

* feat(sast): tolerate hygiene-only Capella reductions instead of going partial

A reduction only makes a run partial when it loses real coverage or a whole
finding. Malformed model output, salvaged turn-limit work, and rejected duplicate
verdicts are recorded as evidence but no longer flip the run to partial.

- add reductionIsTolerable: partial only when genuine-loss counts are nonzero
- drive runCapella's partial reasons and display coverage off non-tolerable ones
- keep every reduction in agenticSast.reductions so nothing is lost as evidence

* feat(logging): record the provider reason for a failed agent turn

A failed provider turn collapsed to AGENT_EXECUTION_FAILED/unknown with the
underlying reason discarded, so a model-side rejection or safeguard was
indistinguishable from a transport fault in the error log.

- add safeProviderTurnDetails: write bounded, non-sensitive fields (provider,
  model, responseId, stop reason, tool-in-flight, category, retryable) to error.log
- gate a sanitized errorMessage snippet behind SHANNON_DEBUG_PROVIDER_ERRORS, off by default
- forward SHANNON_DEBUG_PROVIDER_ERRORS from the CLI into the worker container

* fix(cli): keep shannon logs tailing through a Temporal blip

- End the interactive tail on the log's own terminal marker or Ctrl-C, so a
  transient Temporal outage no longer aborts the command with exit 1.
- Rebuild the memoized Temporal client after a failed poll: a wedged gRPC
  channel was cached forever, so "retrying…" could never reconnect.
- Keep start --follow (CI) bounded — a genuinely dead Temporal still fails
  the run instead of hanging.

* fix(worker): correct PDF finding reporting

- Render OWASP category, authentication state, and remediation
- Omit the redundant per-finding exploited status
- Preserve canonical category and field ordering across report modes
- Continue Proof of Impact numbering across embedded code blocks
- Wrap long PDF code lines without changing canonical report content

* fix: attribute a reconciliation failure to exploitation only

- Stop marking a class's vulnerability-analysis agent failed when that agent
  succeeded and only reconciliation failed; the status tree now renders the
  analysis row completed and the exploitation row failed
- Consume the worker's failedReconciliations signal in the CLI, which the
  mirrored PipelineState already declared but never read
- Correct the class_reconciliation_failed message, which claimed the class's
  analysis results were still in the report when the class is excluded from it

* fix(pi): give each task sub-session its own resource loader to prevent stale extension ctx

* fix(prompts): scope exploit agents to in-band proof, mark OOB-only findings blocked

* fix(cli): reject a shell credential that shadows a gateway config.toml key

* fix(cli): make scan shutdown verifiable

- preselect and persist workflow identity before worker launch
- cancel first, then verify bounded Temporal termination
- reconcile Docker workers with Temporal open workflows
- fail closed on stale images and unavailable lifecycle state
- mark cancellation only after confirmed shutdown

* feat(cli): prompt for setup on a bare npx invocation with no credentials

* fix(cli): don't blame anthropic when no credentials are configured at all

* chore(release): bump beta base version to 3.0.0

* feat(cli): show a 'start your first scan' box in help on a TTY

* docs: refresh README and platform overview for Shannon 3.0

- lead with the 3.0 launch note and rewrite key capabilities around security
  code analysis, the rebuilt terminal experience, native CI/CD, and PDF/SARIF
- recast the editions table as Shannon Open Source against the Keygraph
  Enterprise Platform, stating open source is not a trial edition
- rewrite the platform overview around exhaustive agentic SAST, canonical
  findings, automated remediation, targeted verification, and governance
- add five product screenshots under assets/keygraph-platform/, referenced
  relative to docs/

* docs: add the Shannon naming section and swap in the 3.0 demo GIF

- explain the Claude Shannon information-theory origin under "What is Shannon?"
- point "Shannon in Action" at the 3.0 recording in assets/Shannon3GIF.gif

Both taken from the README half of #438.

* docs: document CI/CD integrations and the reconciled analysis pipeline

- add a CI/CD Integrations section covering the official GitHub Action and
  GitLab component, pipeline artifacts, and exploit-only severity gates
- redraw the architecture section as a Mermaid flow: agentic code analysis
  and recon feed finding reconciliation, then exploitation and reporting
- describe open-source code analysis as a multi-stage agentic workflow and
  reserve parsed-code CPGs and exhaustive verification for Enterprise
- sharpen the privacy wording: results stay local, but model requests carry
  source context to whichever endpoint you configure
- drop the "not recommended" framing on local models and add a section on
  why Shannon complements rather than replaces human pentesters
- regenerate llms-full.txt from the updated README and docs

* docs: add the Photoview benchmark across three models

- Add a "Shannon in Action" table for Photoview 2.4.0 runs on
  DeepSeek v4 Flash, Grok 4.6, and Claude Opus 5, each linking its
  PDF report and SARIF output
- Store the per-model reports under benchmark/
- Link the (forthcoming) benchmark writeup from the section intro

* docs: add the Shannon vs XBOW/Aikido Photoview benchmark writeup

- Add docs/shannon-xbow-aikido-benchmark.md with methodology, per-model
  cost/coverage tables, and links to each model's report and SARIF
- Link the writeup from the README "Shannon in Action" section

* docs: link the benchmark announcement discussion from the README

* fix(readme): restore theme-aware banner, badge, and buttons

* feat!: trigger the Shannon 3.0 major release

Keygraph Enterprise Platform

Shannon 3.0 makes advanced, code-informed autonomous pentesting available to everyone. The open-source CLI maps routes and data flows, understands application architecture, executes real attacks, and produces PDF and SARIF results—locally, in CI/CD, or fully air-gapped with your own model.

The Keygraph Enterprise Platform is the commercial AppSec operating system for organizations that need to run that process continuously across many repositories, teams, and environments. It adds exhaustive agentic SAST, business-logic and source-to-sink analysis, broader scanner coverage, centralized vulnerability management, automated remediation and targeted verification, enterprise governance, and organization-wide reporting.

Shannon Open Source is a complete autonomous pentester, not a trial edition. Keygraph Enterprise is for teams that need greater analysis depth, shared control, and a closed-loop vulnerability-management program.

Who It Is For

Keygraph Enterprise is designed for organizations that need to:

  • continuously test hundreds or thousands of repositories, services, applications, and APIs;
  • combine agentic pentesting, SAST, SCA, secrets, and business-logic findings in one system;
  • enforce security policy in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and enterprise delivery pipelines;
  • give developers one canonical, actionable record for each vulnerability instead of duplicate scanner alerts;
  • assign owners, apply SLAs, track status, and measure risk and remediation performance across the organization;
  • generate fixes and verify them without rerunning an entire scan;
  • enforce enterprise identity, authorization, audit, and API-access controls; and
  • deploy fully on-premises or air-gapped with customer-controlled models, keys, and routing.

Close the Entire AppSec Loop

The platform connects discovery, triage, remediation, and verification in one continuous workflow:

  1. Analyze every repository with exhaustive agentic SAST and complementary scanners.
  2. Prove exploitability with source-aware white-box, black-box, and grey-box pentesting.
  3. Normalize and deduplicate results into a canonical finding per vulnerability and repository.
  4. Prioritize and assign using severity, reachability, exploit evidence, ownership, policy, and business context.
  5. Remediate with an AI-authored patch delivered as a reviewable pull request.
  6. Verify the specific fix with deterministic checks and adversarial agent reasoning—without rerunning the full scan.
  7. Track and govern status, exceptions, SLAs, audit history, trends, and compliance evidence until closure.

Exhaustive Agentic SAST

Shannon 3.0's open-source code analysis runs a multi-stage agentic workflow. It models application architecture, trust boundaries, exposed interfaces, and data flows, opens targeted investigations, reviews the candidates they turn up, and hands the survivors to live pentesting agents. That workflow is built for practical local and CI/CD runs.

The Enterprise engine goes further, for audits at organization scale. It parses the codebase and builds persistent structural context before agents start reasoning about security:

  • Repository and architecture modeling identifies services, frameworks, entry points, assets, trust boundaries, and cross-repository relationships.
  • Interprocedural call and data-flow analysis traces values across functions, files, fields, containers, and framework-managed request lifecycles.
  • Source, sink, and sanitizer modeling follows untrusted input to sensitive operations and records where validation, encoding, authorization, or other controls alter the path.
  • Threat-driven decomposition breaks large applications into risk, taint-flow, framework, and specialist analysis tasks so deep scans remain systematic.
  • Exhaustive adversarial verification challenges candidates across multiple review passes, weighing structural evidence against what the agents found, then asks whether each one is viable in the application's production configuration.
  • Semantic deduplication and exploit-chain analysis consolidate variants of the same defect and identify combinations whose impact is greater than any isolated issue.
  • Business-logic invariant testing derives rules the code is supposed to preserve—such as tenant isolation, workflow order, approval limits, balances, and state transitions—then agents fuzz those invariants for application-specific flaws.

The result is broad vulnerability hunting with precise paths back to the relevant code, not a flat list of pattern matches.

Complete Application-Security Coverage

Agentic SAST and pentesting work alongside additional first-class scanners:

  • SCA with reachability prioritizes vulnerable dependencies that application code can actually reach.
  • Full secrets scanning detects credentials, tokens, and keys across source and repository history.
  • Agentic pentesting correlates code intelligence with live application behavior and attempts real exploitation. The core rule remains: no exploit, no pentest finding.

One System of Record for Every Finding

Keygraph ingests results from every analysis source, correlates them, and maintains one canonical finding per vulnerability per repository. Security and engineering teams work from the same record, with evidence, source location, severity, scan history, status, assignee, resolution, and last-verification state.

The vulnerability-management layer provides:

  • deterministic and semantic deduplication across scans and scanners;
  • ownership, assignment, triage, false-positive, risk-acceptance, and resolution workflows;
  • SLA policies, escalation, aging, and last-verified tracking;
  • bidirectional developer-workflow integrations and APIs;
  • dashboards for risk, coverage, trends, new versus resolved findings, SLA compliance, and MTTR; and
  • exportable evidence for customers, auditors, and compliance programs.

Remediate, Then Verify the Fix

From an individual finding, a user can ask Keygraph to produce a focused patch. The remediation agent reasons from the root cause and evidence, changes only the required code, and opens a pull request into the existing review process. It does not silently apply fixes to a protected branch.

Keygraph Enterprise remediation workflow for generating a fix and opening a pull request

After a patch is available, targeted verification re-analyzes the affected code and, for dynamic pentest findings, re-tests the original proof of concept against the target. Deterministic checks and adversarial agent reasoning produce a clear verdict without the cost and delay of rerunning the entire scan.

Enterprise Governance and Integrations

Keygraph is built for shared operation across security, platform, and engineering teams:

  • SAML 2.0 or OIDC single sign-on and SCIM provisioning;
  • organization, team, and user management;
  • built-in and custom roles with granular relationship-, attribute-, and role-based authorization (ReBAC, ABAC, and RBAC);
  • repository, pentest-profile, scanner, finding, and administration boundaries;
  • full audit logging and scoped API keys;
  • integrations with source control, CI/CD, ticketing, chat, and cloud environments; and
  • commercial support and enterprise onboarding.

Keygraph Enterprise granular roles and repository visibility controls

On-Premises, Air-Gapped, and Customer-Controlled AI

Keygraph Enterprise can run entirely inside your AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises environment, including networks with no public internet access. Deployments can keep source code, scan artifacts, findings, prompts, completions, and model traffic inside your security perimeter.

AI access is bring-your-own-key and bring-your-own-model. Organizations can route workloads through approved commercial providers, private cloud endpoints, an internal LLM gateway, or local open-source models, with granular routing and policy controlled by the customer. There is no requirement for a Keygraph-operated control plane or model proxy.

Keygraph maintains a SOC 2 Type II audit and makes the current report available to customers under appropriate confidentiality terms.
