📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThis change adds a PowerShell destructive-command classifier and connects it to GateGuard, governance capture, and PostToolUse dispatching. It also adds PowerShell-specific hook configuration, redaction behavior, elevation detection, integration tests, classifier tests, and an ECC-039 implementation plan. ChangesPowerShell governance
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to A crafted PowerShell command can stall the destructive-command gate, so the regexes should be made linear-time before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@scripts/hooks/gateguard-fact-force.js`:
- Around line 741-746: Update the findings construction in the
command-classification flow to use spread-based immutable expressions instead of
initializing an array and mutating it with push(). Preserve both the
isDestructiveBash result and classifyPowerShellDestructiveCommand findings,
including the normalizedTool check.
In `@scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js`:
- Line 1561: Update the double-quoted string sub-patterns in
collectStaticScalarAssignments
(scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js:1022-1022) and the literal
matcher (scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js:1561-1561) so the
fallback character class excludes backticks, preventing exponential backtracking
while preserving escaped-character handling. Add a bounded regression case with
an unterminated expandable string containing many escape pairs and assert
classification completes within the hook budget.
In `@tests/hooks/gateguard-fact-force.test.js`:
- Around line 108-138: Optionally extract the shared setup from
runPowerShellHook and the other hook helpers into a factory parameterized by
hook ID, while preserving each helper’s existing input serialization,
environment variables, spawn options, and result normalization.
In `@tests/lib/powershell-destructive-command.test.js`:
- Line 618: Update the wall-clock assertions in the relevant destructive-command
tests to avoid flaky fixed 2- or 4-second limits: remove or relax the three
Date.now()-based checks, or gate them behind an explicit performance-test flag
with sufficient margin below the 5-second hook timeout. Keep expectRules
classification assertions unchanged.

Learning: In this repository, standalone JavaScript test suites under tests/lib/ follow a local runner convention: they use mutable `passed`/`failed` counters and print per-test console output. During code reviews, treat this as the expected harness style and generally avoid recommending one-off refactors to immutable counters for new/modified suites. Only request such counter refactors if the repository-wide test harness/convention is being changed.

Learning: JavaScript tests under tests/ should emit a summary containing parseable tokens in the form `Passed: N` and `Failed: N`. The `tests/run-all.js` aggregator parses these tokens from combined stdout and stderr, so a combined line such as `Results: Passed: N, Failed: N` is sufficient; do not require separate `Passed: N` and `Failed: N` lines.

Build findings with spread expressions instead of push(). The checked-in JavaScript guidelines require immutable updates. This local mutation creates no hidden-side-effect or concurrency risk, so treat it as a style refactor only.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
Ambiguous double-quoted-string sub-pattern allows exponential backtracking in two regexes. Both patterns use (?:`[\s\S]|[^"])* to model an expandable string body. A backtick satisfies both branches, so each `X sequence doubles the parse tree. When the closing " is absent, the engine explores every combination before it fails.
scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js#L1561-L1561: change the fallback branch in theliteralmatcher so it excludes the backtick, for example(?:`[\s\S]|[^"`])*. This path receives raw tool command text throughscanInvokeScriptCalls, so the hang is reachable from a single crafted command.scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js#L1022-L1022: apply the same exclusion to the"((?:\x60[\s\S]|[^"])*)"group in thecollectStaticScalarAssignmentspattern, which runs over the whole normalized command on every scan.
After the fix, add a bounded regression case that feeds an unterminated expandable string containing many escape pairs and asserts the classifier returns within the hook budget.

Consider extracting a shared hook-runner factory.
The three helpers duplicate the same setup and differ only by hook ID. This is an optional maintainability refactor, not a correctness issue.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove or relax the three wall-clock assertions.
expectRules already checks each classifier result. The Date.now() checks then fail the CI test when these 40,000-item and 20,001-function workloads exceed 2 or 4 seconds, even though classification is correct. CI runs on multiple shared OS runners, while the PowerShell hook timeout is 5 seconds. Gate these checks behind an explicit performance-test flag or leave enough margin below the hook timeout.

rp bypasses destructive-command gating
rp is PowerShell's alias for Remove-ItemProperty, but it is missing from DELETE_COMMANDS. As a result, rp -Force HKCU:/Software/Demo -Name setting produces no classifier finding and passes through the real PowerShell GateGuard hook, while the equivalent Remove-ItemProperty -Force command is detected and denied. Add rp to the recognized deletion aliases and cover the alias in both classifier and GateGuard tests.
Rule Used: Treat CLI inputs, URLs, file paths, and subprocess... (source)
Artifacts
Focused classifier and GateGuard reproduction script
- This authored Node script calls the exact classifier and invokes the configured PowerShell GateGuard hook with an isolated state directory, takeaway: it tests the reported path end to end.
Canonical Remove-ItemProperty force command denied
- The executed control run shows `Remove-ItemProperty -Force` emits `powershell.remove-item.force` and GateGuard denies it, takeaway: the canonical destructive path works.
rp force alias command allowed without finding
- The executed reported command shows empty classifier findings and `hookDenied: false`, takeaway: `rp -Force` bypasses the destructive-command gate.
Captured source of the focused reproduction script
- This command capture records the exact authored repro source used for the classifier and hook executions, takeaway: the artifact source is traceable to the observed results.

A static payload assigned to a variable is not resolved before the nested -Command scan. For $c='Remove-Item -Force C:/tmp/demo'; pwsh -Command $c, the classifier scans the literal $c, returns no findings, and GateGuard allows the request; the equivalent literal pwsh -Command Remove-Item -Force C:/tmp/demo is detected and denied. Resolve standalone variable references from scanState.staticScalars before scanning nested command payloads, and treat unresolved values as dynamic execution.
Rule Used: Treat CLI inputs, URLs, file paths, and subprocess... (source)
Artifacts
Direct literal nested PowerShell control was classified and denied
- Executed the direct-literal `pwsh -Command Remove-Item -Force C:/tmp/demo` control through the classifier and GateGuard, showing the expected force-removal rule and denial; the control path is protected.
Static variable nested PowerShell command had no findings and was allowed
- Executed the reported `$c` assignment and `pwsh -Command $c` path through the classifier and GateGuard, showing empty findings and an unchanged allowed request; the primary bypass is confirmed.
Authored focused static variable PowerShell reproduction source
- The executable Node reproduction imports the exact classifier and GateGuard route, asserts the observed bypass, and prints its runtime data; the proof is reproducible.
Scoped source files had no diff after validation
- Executed `git diff --exit-code -- scripts/lib/powershell-destructive-command.js scripts/hooks/gateguard-fact-force.js` and received exit code 0; no source changes were preserved.

summarizeCommand removes quotes from the whitespace-delimited first token and accepts it as a command name. Consequently, for 'sensitive-token' ; Remove-Item -Force C:/tmp/demo, both the direct analysis and emitted approval_requested event serialize payload.commandName as sensitive-token. Do not derive commandName from quoted expressions; parse the actual PowerShell invocation safely or derive the name from the classified destructive operation.

Artifacts
Focused reproduction script for quoted sensitive prefix
- Authored Node script invokes analyzeForGovernanceEvents and the enabled stdin hook with the exact reported command, asserting the observed commandName, confirming both paths expose the token.
Direct governance-analysis output with quoted sensitive prefix
- Executed direct analyzer run records the exact input and approval event with commandName set to sensitive-token, confirming the direct payload leaks the prefix.
