Summary

This PR adds a TDD test that proves LspRuntime._read_file() lacks workspace path containment validation, creating a path traversal security vulnerability. The test uses the @tdd_expected_fail tag to pass in CI while documenting the bug.

Changes

  • features/tdd_lsp_path_containment.feature - New Behave feature file with a @tdd_expected_fail scenario that demonstrates the vulnerability by attempting path traversal outside the workspace.

  • features/steps/tdd_lsp_path_containment_steps.py - Step definitions using lsp_pc prefix to avoid AmbiguousStep errors.

Security Impact

LspRuntime._read_file() is a @staticmethod with no workspace parameter, making it impossible to perform containment checks. An attacker controlling file_path could read arbitrary files.

Testing

All quality gates pass: lint, typecheck, unit_tests (638 features passed, 15,238 scenarios passed).

Closes #10489

All tests added for TDD issue #10489 have been reviewed and correctly demonstrate the missing workspace path containment check. No blocking issues found.

Suggestions for improvement:

  • Consider adding a scenario to verify that safe files within the workspace are still readable by _read_file.

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — Success

Fixed two issues in the TDD test for LspRuntime._read_file path containment (bug #10490):

  1. Corrected TDD tag: Changed @tdd_issue_10489@tdd_issue_10490 so the tag references the actual bug issue (path traversal vulnerability) rather than the TDD testing issue itself. This is required for CI to validate the tag when the bug fix PR is submitted.

  2. Added safe-file scenario: Added a new scenario "_read_file can read a file inside the workspace" that verifies _read_file successfully reads files within the workspace directory. This addresses the reviewer suggestion from HAL9001.

Also updated all docstrings and comments to reference bug #10490 consistently.

Quality gate status: lint ✓, typecheck ✓, unit_tests — our changes pass (1 pre-existing failure in ci_workflow_validation unrelated to this PR)

Implementation Attempt — Tier 3: sonnet — Success

Fixed the CI lint failure caused by a ruff format check violation in features/steps/tdd_lsp_path_containment_steps.py.

Root cause: The CI lint job runs both nox -s lint (ruff check) and nox -s format -- --check (ruff format check). The step definitions file had a multi-line f-string assertion that ruff format wanted to merge into a single line:

# Before (failing format check):
assert context.lsp_pc_result == "# safe content\n", (
    f"Expected file content '# safe content\\n', "
    f"but got: {context.lsp_pc_result!r}"
)

# After (passing format check):
assert context.lsp_pc_result == "# safe content\n", (
    f"Expected file content '# safe content\\n', but got: {context.lsp_pc_result!r}"
)

Fix applied: Ran nox -s format to auto-apply ruff formatting, then committed and force-pushed the single-line change.

Quality gate status: lint ✓ (ruff check + ruff format --check), security_scan ✓, dead_code ✓, complexity ✓
