Closes the harness's feature set per PROMPT.md modes 2 (Diff Review)
and Phase 5 (Memory). Rules subcommand still pending (it needs
operator-authored .review-rules.md content first; documented as
Phase E follow-up).
internal/memory/ — append-only writer:
- AppendKnownRisks: one JSONL line per confirmed finding per run.
O_APPEND only; never O_TRUNC. Empty findings list is a no-op
(doesn't even create the file — keeps clean runs from polluting
.memory/).
- AppendRunHistory: one JSONL line per run. Run summary stats +
receipts hash for cross-link.
- WriteProjectProfile: the ONLY non-versioned memory file; snapshot
semantics, overwrites are explicit + documented.
- 4 unit tests including TestAppendKnownRisks_NeverTruncates which
is the audit's "no silent overwrite" gate — write twice, assert
both writes' content survives.
Pipeline phase 5 wires it. Confirmed findings only — suspected
findings might still be wrong, keeping .memory/ authoritative.
Disabled if review-profile.memory.enabled = false.
internal/git/git.go — ChangedFiles helper:
- Probes unstaged + staged + branch diff against main/master.
- Dedup'd, stable order. Empty result on clean tree.
- Graceful failure: returns error if git binary missing or target
isn't a git repo.
cli/repo.go — Diff subcommand:
- `review-harness diff <path>` runs the same pipeline as scrum but
scoped to changed files only. Pipeline.Inputs gains DiffOnlyFiles
filter applied post-Walk.
- Empty diff (clean tree, no commits ahead of base) → exit 0 with
message; doesn't generate empty reports.
- LLM toggleable via --enable-llm same as scrum.
scanner/walk.go: added .memory to SkipDirs (universal — harness's
own audit trail, scanning it surfaces planted-secret evidence as
new findings — same class as B5 self-skip).
.gitignore tightened: /.memory/ → **/.memory/ to keep test-fixture
.memory dirs from leaking into version control (same fix as
reports/latest pattern).
Verified end-to-end:
- 4 memory unit tests PASS
- Append-only proven: insecure-repo run 1 → 16 known-risks lines;
run 2 → 44 lines (16 + 28 from new run); run-history grew 1 → 2.
- Diff subcommand against this repo (5 uncommitted Phase E files
staged) → exit 0, all reports produced, scoped to those 5 files
only (0 findings on the diff-scoped scan vs 129 on full repo —
changed files don't contain analyzer-flaggable patterns).
Phase A through E shipped today. Rules subcommand + tests for
internal/{config,scanner,git,llm,reporters,pipeline} remain.

local-review-harness
Local-first code review harness. Walks a repository, runs evidence-bearing static checks, generates Scrum-style reports. No cloud dependencies. LLM review is local-Ollama-only (Phase C, not yet shipped).
Per FIRST_COMMAND_FOR_CLAUDE_CODE.md + PROMPT.md — "AI may suggest. Code validates. Reports must show evidence." Findings without grep-able evidence get rejected; the validator phase rejects model claims that cite missing files.
Status
Phase A + Phase B (MVP) shipped. What works today:
review-harness repo <path>— Phase 0 intake + Phase 1 static scanreview-harness scrum <path>— same pipeline + full Scrum report bundlereview-harness model doctor— stub (real Ollama probe in Phase C)- 12 static analyzers covering hardcoded paths, shell exec, raw SQL, wildcard CORS, secret patterns, large files, TODO/FIXME, missing tests, committed
.env, unsafe file I/O, exposed mutation endpoints, hardcoded private-network IPs
Phases C–E pending: real LLM review, validation cross-check, append-only memory, diff/rules subcommands.
Build
Single static binary, no cgo:
go build -o review-harness ./cmd/review-harness
Requires Go 1.22+.
Run
# Full repo review (Phase 0 + Phase 1 + Phase 4)
./review-harness repo /path/to/target/repo
# Same + Scrum bundle (scrum-test.md, risk-register.md, sprint-backlog.md, acceptance-gates.md)
./review-harness scrum /path/to/target/repo
# Model doctor stub
./review-harness model doctor
Reports land in <target>/reports/latest/ by default; override with --output-dir.
Optional config files:
./review-harness scrum /path --review-profile configs/review-profile.example.yaml \
--model-profile configs/model-profile.example.yaml
Self-review
The harness reviews itself as a sanity gate (PROMPT.md "Final Deliverable"):
./review-harness scrum .
cat reports/latest/scrum-test.md
The fixture-planted secrets in tests/fixtures/insecure-repo/ are intentional — they prove the secret-pattern analyzer fires. Operators reviewing the self-report should expect those critical-severity hits and dismiss them as fixture content.
Test fixtures
Three synthetic repos under tests/fixtures/:
| Fixture | Purpose | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|
clean-repo/ |
sterile reference | 0 confirmed findings |
insecure-repo/ |
every static check fires | ≥8 distinct check IDs |
degraded-repo/ |
no git, no manifests | repo_intake phase marked degraded |
Run them all to validate after a regex change:
for f in clean-repo insecure-repo degraded-repo; do
./review-harness scrum "tests/fixtures/$f" > /dev/null
echo "$f: $(jq '.summary.total' tests/fixtures/$f/reports/latest/static-findings.json) findings"
done
Exit codes
0— clean run, no degraded phases64— usage error65— runtime error (config parse fail, target path missing, etc.)66— degraded mode (one or more phases skipped or stubbed; reports still produced)
66 is the expected exit code in MVP because the LLM phase is hardcoded degraded until Phase C lands.
