 # Changelog
 
+## [0.5.13] — Round 18 Audit Fixes (2026-06-02)
+
+### Phase 1: Switch to execFileSync (HIGH security)
+- `src/benchmark/benchmark-runner.ts` — Replaced `execSync` with `execFileSync(program, args)`. This prevents shell parsing of command strings, even if `validateCommand` is bypassed.
+- `validateCommand` retained as defense-in-depth (blocks shell metacharacters).
+- New `splitCommand()` helper safely splits validated commands.
+
+### Phase 2: Precompute document frequency (MEDIUM performance)
+- `src/utils/bm25-search.ts` — `BM25Search.df()` is now precomputed once in the constructor via `precomputeDocumentFrequencies()`. Lookup is O(1) via `dfCache: Map<term, number>`.
+- Per-search complexity: O(Q * N) instead of O(Q² * N²).
+
+### Phase 3+4: Test coverage for 3 untested modules
+- 15 tests in `test/unit/bm25-search.test.ts`
+- 15 tests in `test/unit/scan-cache.test.ts`
+- 20 tests in `test/unit/benchmark.test.ts`
+- **Total: 50 new tests**
+
+### Tests
+- 2352/2352 pass (was 2313 in v0.5.12; +39 net)
+- 50 new tests across 3 new test files
+- TypeScript: 0 errors

+# pi-crew v0.5.13 Audit Fix Plan (Round 18)
+
+## Source Verification Findings
+
+I read the following files and identified 4 confirmed real issues:
+
+### Issue 1: `benchmark-runner.ts` uses `execSync` instead of `execFileSync` (HIGH security)
+**File**: `src/benchmark/benchmark-runner.ts:4,110,119,128`
+
+```ts
+import { execSync } from "child_process";
+// ...
+output = execSync(judge.command, { ... });
+```
+
+`execSync(command, ...)` invokes a shell to parse the command, even when `validateCommand` is run first. The `validateCommand` function only checks for shell metacharacters in the *arguments* (after the first space), but:
+- It does not escape/quote arguments safely
+- A bug in `validateCommand` or a clever input could bypass
+- `cwd: process.cwd()` could be inherited from a parent context
+- Best practice: use `execFileSync` with `command.split(' ')[0]` and the rest as args, so no shell is invoked
+
+**Fix**: Switch to `execFileSync` with command split into program + args. Keep `validateCommand` as defense-in-depth but no longer rely on it alone.
+
+### Issue 2: `BM25Search.df()` is O(N) per call and called inside the search loop (MEDIUM performance)
+**File**: `src/utils/bm25-search.ts:47-65, 75-104`
+
+The `df()` function is called for every query term in the search loop, and itself iterates over all documents. This means:
+- For a query with `Q` terms and `N` documents, `df()` is called `Q * N` times
+- Each `df()` call iterates over `N` documents and `field_count` fields
+- Total complexity: **O(Q² * N² * field_count)**
+
+This is quadratic when it should be linear. Document frequencies don't change between `search()` calls for the same document set, so they should be cached.
+
+**Fix**: Precompute `df` once in the constructor (or lazily on first search) and cache it as a Map<term, number>. Re-compute only when documents change.
+
+### Issue 3: `SharedScanCache.set()` LRU eviction is by insertion order, not access order (LOW)
+**File**: `src/utils/scan-cache.ts:62-69`
+
+The eviction policy evicts the *oldest inserted* entry, not the *least recently accessed*. So if a frequently-updated entry is inserted, then later entries are inserted, the frequently-updated one (which is the *same* Map key) won't be moved to the end of the insertion order — it stays at the head and is the next to be evicted.
+
+This is a minor issue because:
+- In practice, scan cache entries are short-lived (TTL=1s by default)
+- The eviction only matters when entries hit the `maxEntries` cap
+
+**Fix**: Either document the limitation or implement proper LRU. For now, document it.
+
+### Issue 4: `bm25-search.ts` has no tests (LOW coverage)
+**File**: `test/unit/bm25-search.test.ts` — does not exist
+
+BM25Search is a non-trivial search algorithm. Currently zero test coverage. Should add tests for:
+- Basic search returns relevant results
+- Field weighting affects ranking
+- minScore threshold
+- limit cap
+- Empty query returns empty results
+- df() precomputation (after Issue 2 fix)
+
+## Plan (4 phases)
+
+### Phase 1: Switch `benchmark-runner.ts` to `execFileSync`
+- Replace `execSync(judge.command, ...)` with `execFileSync(program, args, ...)`
+- Keep `validateCommand` as defense-in-depth
+- Add new tests for benchmark-runner
+
+### Phase 2: Precompute `df` in BM25Search
+- Cache `df` map per corpus
+- Invalidate when documents change (or recompute on construction)
+- Add tests to verify behavior unchanged
+
+### Phase 3: Add tests for scan-cache, benchmark, bm25-search
+- `test/unit/scan-cache.test.ts`
+- `test/unit/benchmark.test.ts`
+- `test/unit/bm25-search.test.ts`
+
+### Phase 4: Release v0.5.13
