+
+# Input Validation with Zod
+
+All input validation must use Zod schemas for type safety and consistency.
+
+## ❌ Avoid manual validation:
+- Manual `parseInt`, `parseFloat`, `isNaN` checks
+- String splitting with manual array validation
+- Custom error throwing for validation
+- Inline boundary checks (e.g., `if (val < 0 || val > 100)`)
+
+## ✅ Use Zod schemas instead:
+- `.coerce.number()` for automatic number parsing
+- `.transform()` for custom transformations
+- `.refine()` for validation with clear error messages
+- Centralized schemas in separate files (e.g., `*-schema.ts`)
+
+## Example
+
+See `src/cli-schema.ts` for proper Zod validation patterns.
+
+## When to flag
+
+Flag code with manual validation of user input (CLI args, API inputs, config).
+```
+

-## VERIFICATION PROCESS (REQUIRED)
-
-**You MUST use the Read tool to verify each issue against actual source code.**
-
-For EVERY issue, before deciding to keep or filter:
-
-1. **Read the code**: Use the Read tool to read the file at the specified lines
-2. **Verify the claim**: Check if the described problem actually exists in the code
-3. **Trace the flow**: For security/performance issues, trace through the actual implementation
-4. **Document your finding**: Briefly note what you found vs what was claimed
-
-### Verification Examples:
-
-**Security issue**: "API key exposed in error messages"
-- Read the file at specified lines
-- Trace error handling: what gets thrown/logged?
-- Check if sensitive data actually appears in error output
-- FILTER if errors only contain status codes/safe messages
-
-**Performance issue**: "O(n^2) complexity in loop"
-- Read the actual loop implementation
-- Check the data structures used (Set.has() is O(1), not O(n))
-- Verify the algorithmic complexity claim
-- FILTER if using efficient data structures
-
-**Bug issue**: "Missing null check causes crash"
-- Read the code path
-- Check if null check exists elsewhere (guard clause, earlier check)
-- Verify the value can actually be null at that point
-- FILTER if already handled
-
-## KEEP only issues that meet ALL criteria:
-- The issue is REAL and VERIFIED in the actual code (you read it!)
-- Line numbers are correct (within ~5 lines)
-- The claim is PROVEN with concrete evidence from code
-- The issue has clear practical impact
-- NOT a duplicate of another issue
-
-## FILTER OUT (remove) these issues:
-- **False positives**: Issues you cannot verify after reading the code
-- **Noise**: Claims that contradict what the actual code shows
-- **Speculation**: Theoretical issues without concrete proof in the code
-- **Pedantic**: Subjective style preferences, minor nitpicks, "could be better" suggestions
-- **Overstated**: Issues with inflated severity or unrealistic impact claims
-- Issues where line numbers don't match actual code
-- Duplicate issues (keep only one)
-- Issues about code not in the diff
-- Low-confidence or "might be" issues
-
-### Common False Positive Patterns (ALWAYS FILTER):
-
-1. **API/Property existence claims**: "X doesn't exist" or "X behaves differently"
-   - Do NOT assume APIs are missing — verify before claiming
-   - Standard library APIs usually exist as documented
-   - FILTER if you cannot prove the API actually behaves as claimed
-
-2. **Missing handler claims**: "error not handled", "cleanup not done"
-   - READ the ENTIRE function, not just the flagged lines
-   - Check ALL code paths: other event handlers, finally blocks, cleanup code
-   - FILTER if the handling exists elsewhere in the same scope
-
-3. **Null/undefined crash claims**: "X may be null and cause crash"
-   - Check HOW the value was created (config options, constructors)
-   - Check for earlier guards, type narrowing, or platform guarantees
-   - FILTER if configuration or initialization guarantees the value exists
-
-4. **Ignoring intentional design**: Issue about code that has explanatory comments
-   - Look for comments: "intentional", "by design", "expected", "NOTE:"
-   - FILTER if developer explicitly documented the reasoning
-
-5. **Cross-reference speculation**: "function changed", "parameter removed", "type mismatch"
-   - ACTUALLY READ the referenced function/type/file
-   - FILTER if the claim doesn't match what the code actually shows
-
-6. **Severity inflation / Overstated impact**:
-   - Check if the claimed attack vector or impact is realistic
-   - Verify the actual exploitability given the code's safeguards
-   - FILTER if severity is exaggerated or attack requires unrealistic conditions
-
-7. **Code reuse misidentified as duplication**:
-   - Wrapping or extending an existing function is NOT duplication
-   - Composing shared utilities with additional logic is REUSE
-   - FILTER if the code imports and uses shared functions rather than copy-pasting
-
-8. **Intentional changes flagged as bugs**:
-   - Removed features are design decisions, NOT bugs
-   - Refactored code that works differently is intentional
-   - FILTER if the change is clean and deliberate (no broken references)
-
-9. **Context-dependent speculation**:
-   - Issues that assume worst-case runtime conditions
-   - Problems that only occur with specific configurations
-   - FILTER if the issue requires unlikely or undocumented scenarios
-
-10. **Pedantic or nitpick issues**:
-    - Minor style preferences with no functional impact
-    - "Could be slightly better" suggestions that don't fix real problems
-    - Theoretical improvements without practical benefit
-    - FILTER noise that doesn't represent actionable problems
-
-IMPORTANT: When in doubt, FILTER OUT the issue. Only keep issues you are 90%+ confident are real problems after reading the actual code.
-
-## Your Process:
-
-1. For each issue, use Read tool to examine the actual code
-2. Verify or disprove the claim against real implementation
-3. Keep only issues confirmed by code inspection
-4. Return ONLY the IDs of valid issues in <valid-ids>...</valid-ids> tags
-
-## Example input:
-
-<issue id="1">
-**[medium] quality** in `src/example.ts:10-15`
-Agent: bug-hunter
-
-**Problem:** Duplicate logic
-
-The same calculation is performed twice
-
-**Suggestion:** Extract to a helper function
-</issue>
-
-<issue id="2">
-**[high] security** in `src/api.ts:45-50`
-Agent: security-scanner
-
-**Problem:** SQL injection vulnerability
-
-User input is directly concatenated into SQL query without parameterization
-
-**Suggestion:** Use parameterized queries
-</issue>
-
-## Example validation process:
-
-1. Read src/example.ts lines 10-15
-2. Check: Is the calculation actually duplicated?
-3. If YES: Keep issue ID 1
-4. Read src/api.ts lines 45-50
-5. Check: Is user input directly concatenated?
-6. If NO: Filter out issue ID 2
-
-## CRITICAL: Output Format
-
-You MUST return ONLY the valid issue IDs in this EXACT format:
-
-<valid-ids>[1, 2, 3]</valid-ids>
-
-- The array contains ONLY the numeric IDs of issues you validated as real
-- If all issues are invalid, return: <valid-ids>[]</valid-ids>
-- Do NOT return full issues in <json> format
-- Do NOT include any text after the <valid-ids> tags
-
-## Example output:
-
-<valid-ids>[1]</valid-ids>
-
-## WRONG output (DO NOT DO THIS):
-<json>[{"file": "...", ...}]</json>  ← WRONG! Return IDs only, not full issues

+
+## Core Principles
+
+**MUST verify each issue:**
+- Use Read tool to examine actual code at reported line numbers
+- Use Bash tool for git history, file searches, repository inspection
+- Always use absolute paths (prepend repository base path to relative paths)
+- If you can't verify an issue with tools, it's likely a FALSE POSITIVE
+
+**KEEP issues that are:**
+- Real and verified in actual code (you read it!)
+- Have correct line numbers (within ~5 lines)
+- Proven with concrete evidence
+- Have clear practical impact
+- Not intentional trade-offs documented in commits
+
+**FILTER OUT:**
+- False positives (can't verify after reading code)
+- Intentional trade-offs (documented in commit messages)
+- Speculation without concrete proof
+- Pedantic style preferences
+- Overstated severity
+- Duplicates
+
+When in doubt, FILTER OUT. Only keep issues you are 90%+ confident are real problems.
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT
+
+Return JSON in `<json_output>` tags with two arrays:
+
+```json
+{
+  "issues": [{"id": 1, "confidence": 95}],
+  "filtered_issues": [{"id": 2, "confidence": 20, "reason": "False positive - null check exists"}]
+}
+```
+
+**Required fields:**
+- `issues`: validated issues with id + confidence (0-100)
+- `filtered_issues`: rejected issues with id + confidence + reason (1 sentence)
+- Every input issue ID must appear in exactly ONE array
+- Confidence scale: 90-100 (critical), 70-89 (valid), 50-69 (uncertain), <50 (false positive)

+# Validation Instructions
+
+## VERIFICATION PROCESS (REQUIRED)
+
+For EVERY issue, before deciding to keep or filter:
+
+1. **Read the code**: Use Read tool to examine the file at specified lines
+2. **Verify the claim**: Check if the described problem actually exists
+3. **Trace the flow**: For security/performance issues, trace through actual implementation
+4. **Document your finding**: Note what you found vs what was claimed (becomes the `reason`)
+
+## CHECK FOR INTENTIONAL DESIGN DECISIONS (CRITICAL!)
+
+Before marking an issue as valid, check if the change was INTENTIONAL:
+
+1. **Check code comments and inline documentation:**
+   - Read comments in the flagged code and surrounding context
+   - Look for explanations like "Simple O(n²) approach is sufficient for..."
+   - Check for performance/complexity justifications
+   - Look for security trade-off explanations
+   - Comments starting with "Note:", "IMPORTANT:", "Why:" are deliberate decisions
+
+2. **Check project documentation:**
+   - Read CLAUDE.md, README.md for architectural decisions
+   - Check for explicit patterns or conventions documented
+   - Look for "Development Notes", "Architecture" sections
+   - Check if the flagged pattern is a documented standard
+
+3. **Check commit messages:**
+   - Look for explanations of WHY the change was made
+   - Look for trade-off discussions ("speeds up X at cost of Y")
+   - Look for bug fix context ("fixes timeout errors", "prevents race condition")
+
+4. **Recognize deliberate trade-off patterns:**
+   - "Lazy → Eager initialization" often FIXES timeout/context errors
+   - "Fine-grained → Coarse locking" trades parallelism for correctness
+   - Moving code to constructor/startup often fixes runtime errors
+   - Keywords in commits: "fixes", "prevents", "to avoid", "instead of"
+   - Simplicity over optimization (e.g., "sufficient for typical use case")
+
+**An issue is FALSE POSITIVE if:**
+- Code has explanatory comments justifying the approach
+- Project documentation explicitly allows/recommends this pattern
+- Commit message shows the change intentionally introduces the "problem" to fix something else
+- The author explicitly chose this trade-off with rationale
+- The "issue" is actually the FIX for a different bug
+
+## Common False Positive Patterns (ALWAYS FILTER)
+
+1. **API/Property existence claims**: "X doesn't exist" or "X behaves differently"
+   → FILTER if you cannot prove the API actually behaves as claimed
+
+2. **Missing handler claims**: "error not handled", "cleanup not done"
+   → READ the ENTIRE function — FILTER if handling exists elsewhere
+
+3. **Null/undefined crash claims**: "X may be null and cause crash"
+   → FILTER if configuration or initialization guarantees the value exists
+
+4. **Ignoring intentional design**: Issue flags code that has explanatory comments or is documented
+   → FILTER if code has comments explaining WHY (e.g., "Simple approach is sufficient for...")
+   → FILTER if CLAUDE.md or README.md documents this as an intentional pattern
+   → FILTER if the "problem" is actually a documented trade-off
+
+5. **Severity inflation**: Exaggerated impact or unrealistic attack vectors
+   → FILTER if severity is overstated given actual code safeguards
+
+6. **Intentional changes flagged as bugs**: Removed/refactored features
+   → FILTER if the change is clean and deliberate
+
+## Example
+
+Input issues: id=1 (SQL injection), id=2 (null check), id=3 (performance trade-off)
+
+After verification:
+- Issue 1: Read code at lines 45-50, confirmed user input concatenated into SQL → KEEP (confidence: 95)
+- Issue 2: Read code, found null check exists on line 42 → FILTER (confidence: 15, reason: "False positive - null check exists on line 42")
+- Issue 3: Commit message says "intentional for performance" → FILTER (confidence: 10, reason: "Intentional trade-off per commit message")
