+ ## `security`: Security Candidate Detection
961
+
962
+ Surfaces local security candidates for agent or human verification. The first rule, `client-server-leak`, starts at `"use client"` files and reports a candidate when that client boundary directly reads, or statically imports a path to a module that reads, a non-public `process.env` value.
963
+
964
+ Findings are not confirmed vulnerabilities. Use the structural trace to verify whether the value can actually reach client-bundled code. Public env conventions (`NODE_ENV`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, `NUXT_PUBLIC_*`, `REACT_APP_*`, `PUBLIC_*`, `GATSBY_*`, `EXPO_PUBLIC_*`, `STORYBOOK_*`) are excluded.
965
+
966
+ The second rule family is a data-driven `tainted-sink` catalogue: syntactic dangerous-sink candidates across 9 CWE categories. A candidate fires only when the relevant argument is non-literal, so a fully-literal value (`el.innerHTML = "<b>x</b>"`, `child_process.exec("ls")`) never fires; fallow prefers false-negatives over false-positives.
967
+
968
+ | Category | CWE | Sink |
969
+ |----------|-----|------|
970
+ | `dangerous-html` | 79 | `innerHTML` / `outerHTML` / `insertAdjacentHTML` / `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` |
971
+ | `command-injection` | 78 | `child_process` `exec` / `execSync` / `spawn` / `spawnSync` (provenance-gated to `node:child_process`) |

973
+ | `sql-injection` | 89 | string concat or interpolated template into `.query()` / `.execute()`, and `sql.raw(...)`. Parameterized `` sql`${x}` `` and the object form `.execute({ sql, args })` are NOT flagged |
974

+ Each finding includes `kind`, `path`, `line`, `col`, `evidence`, `trace`, and `actions`. `tainted-sink` findings additionally carry `category` (the catalogue id, e.g. `"dangerous-html"`) and `cwe`; `client-server-leak` findings omit both. `unresolved_edge_files` (client-server-leak) and `unresolved_callee_sites` (tainted-sink) are in-band blind-spot counters: a zero finding count with a non-zero counter is not a clean bill. Suppress a verified false positive with `// fallow-ignore-file security-client-server-leak` (client-server-leak) or `// fallow-ignore-file security-sink` (any tainted-sink category).

- When CRAP-only with cyclomatic count within 5 of `maxCyclomatic` AND cognitive at or above `maxCognitive / 2`, a secondary `refactor-function` is appended. The cognitive floor suppresses false positives on flat type-tag dispatchers and JSX render maps (high CC, near-zero cog). A single finding can carry multiple action types: e.g. a finding that exceeds both cyclomatic and CRAP at `coverage_tier=partial` gets `increase-coverage` AND `refactor-function`. Treat the first non-`suppress-line` action as primary.
