Builds deterministic compressed snapshots and manifests. The workflow restores prior releases, updates the database, and publishes dated and stable releases. Contract tests validate the workflow and release configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 651a7

The PR changes default CVE updates to install databases from a mutable release, so a compromised release publisher could distribute inaccurate vulnerability data broadly and reduce scan accuracy. Merge readiness requires explicit owner acceptance or mitigation of this supply-chain risk, with follow-up on the bounded concurrency and migration cases.

Pass the workflow inputs through env instead of inline expansion.

zizmor flags the ${{ ... }} expansion inside the shell body. Both values are constrained here, so this is hardening rather than an active vulnerability. Bind them to env and read shell variables, so the shell never receives expanded template text.

Assert that the build is deterministic.

Upload the artifact before the manifest.

gh release upload --clobber replaces assets one at a time. If the manifest lands first, clients that fetch during the window read a new manifest and the previous artifact, and the checksum check fails. Client validation fails closed, so the impact is a transient failed update. Upload ${artifact} first, then ${manifest}, to shrink that window.

Enforce the client size limits at build time and hash the artifact while streaming.

bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_bootstrap.py rejects a manifest whose compressed_size exceeds 512 MiB or whose uncompressed_size exceeds 2 GiB. The builder does not check either limit, so the release job can publish an artifact that every client rejects at validate_manifest. Fail in the builder instead.

Line 64 also reads the whole artifact into memory to compute the digest, which defeats the streaming write above it and costs up to the full artifact size in CI memory.

Use the monkeypatch fixture instead of a manual MonkeyPatch instance.

Derive the fixture date and window count instead of hardcoding them.

Two assertions are coupled to values that will drift:

  • Line 45 pins nvd_cursor to 2026-08-17T00:00:00.000. The test intends to exercise the single-window incremental path at Line 687 of bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_manager.py. Once the wall clock passes that date by more than 119 days, Line 630 routes the run into the multi-window branch instead. The assertions still hold, so the test keeps passing while it no longer covers the intended branch.
  • Line 88 pins the window count to 4. That value depends on the 119-day default in iter_nvd_windows. A change to the default silently breaks this test.

Derive both values from the production helpers.

5-5: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the update lock portable. bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_manager.py imports this module, so Windows cannot load any CVE update path because Python does not provide fcntl. Implement Task 4's atomic lock-file design with PID metadata and stale-lock recovery, or document POSIX-only support.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/update-cve-db.yml:
- Around line 24-27: Remove the job-level BITSENTRY_DATA_DIR assignment and
export it through $GITHUB_ENV in a step before the CVE snapshot builder runs,
using the runner temp directory. Preserve NVD_API_KEY and GH_TOKEN, and ensure
scripts/build_cve_snapshot.py receives the same directory used by the sync step.

In `@bitprobe/bitprobe.py`:
- Around line 263-266: Update the snapshot-only branch around
update_with_snapshot_policy so a successful snapshot installation reports a
snapshot-install success message instead of claiming the database was updated
with 0 entries; query database statistics only if the message needs an entry
count, while preserving the existing count-based output for non-snapshot
updates.

In `@bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_bootstrap.py`:
- Around line 60-84: Update validate_manifest to validate manifest["artifact"]
before returning: require a string without NUL characters, path
separators/components, or "." and "..", and raise SnapshotValidationError for
invalid values so bootstrap_from_snapshot receives only a safe artifact name.
- Around line 236-251: Close every SQLite connection with contextlib.closing so
handles are released before database files are copied, replaced, or compressed.
Update the connection sites at bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_bootstrap.py lines 167-?
and 204-? and 236-251, including the temp_path connection in the snapshot
install flow; also update scripts/build_cve_snapshot.py lines 28-47 in
_inspect_database to close the read-write connection after checkpointing.
Preserve the existing transaction and checkpoint behavior.

Apply the same fix in `@bitprobe/scanner/paths.py` around lines 31 - 44: Read-only
database validation also leaves the connection open.

Apply the same fix in `@bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_manager.py` around lines 552 -
556: Resume-row and reset connections use the same non-closing context-manager
pattern.

In `@bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_manager.py`:
- Around line 567-580: Change the full rebuild flow around _connect and the
publication windows to build all replacement CVE data in a separate staging
database or table set, leaving the current database available during downloads.
After the final catch-up completes successfully, atomically install the staged
database using the existing migrate_legacy_cve_database approach and os.replace;
do not replace the current database on failure or interruption.
- Around line 666-693: Update the sync-window logic around the full_sync branch
to explicitly set use_incremental = False, and ensure the later incremental
assignment also excludes raw_full_sync. Preserve unfiltered full-crawl behavior
for raw full syncs regardless of the force value, while leaving normal
incremental and windowed sync handling unchanged.
- Around line 359-363: Update cve_db_needs_update() to catch ValueError when
parsing the normalized nvd_cursor timestamp, treat that cursor as stale, and
continue to the existing last_updated fallback instead of aborting. Preserve the
current behavior for valid timestamps and ensure unexpected cursor text cannot
escape this startup check.

Apply the same fix in `@bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_bootstrap.py` around lines 287 -
291: Snapshot policy parsing has the same unhandled invalid-cursor failure.

In `@scripts/install_bitsentry.sh`:
- Around line 70-73: Update the installer guidance around the
CVE_NEEDS_BOOTSTRAP message to describe bitsentry update-cve-db as recommended
rather than required before scanning, and state that skipping it may delay the
first scan. Keep the existing automatic-bootstrap behavior and command
unchanged.

In `@tests/test_cve_cli.py`:
- Around line 15-20: Update the test helpers and newly added test functions,
including _cli and each monkeypatch parameter, with consistent type annotations;
add from __future__ import annotations if absent and annotate _cli’s return type
using the appropriate module type.

In `@tests/test_cve_paths.py`:
- Around line 23-31: Update test_cve_paths_honor_data_dir_override to reload the
imported scanner.paths module after its assertions, once BITSENTRY_DATA_DIR has
been restored, so shared CVE_DB_PATH and CVE_META_PATH values return to the
normal data directory for subsequent tests.

In `@tests/test_cve_resumability.py`:
- Around line 13-20: Isolate CVE update tests from the real user state file by
patching scanner.update_state.STATE_DIR and STATE_PATH to tmp_path in
tests/test_cve_resumability.py lines 13-20 within _db, and add the same patches
in tests/test_update_lock.py lines 39-51 within
test_cve_update_uses_shared_lock; keep the existing CVE database path setup
unchanged.

In `@tests/test_products_cli.py`:
- Around line 66-86: Update test_update_cve_db_default_preserves_snapshot_policy
and test_update_cve_db_snapshot_flags_are_forwarded to accept the pytest
monkeypatch fixture and replace subprocess.run with monkeypatch.setattr instead
of mock.patch context managers, preserving the existing assertions and sys.argv
patching behavior.

Nitpick comments:
In @.github/workflows/update-cve-db.yml:
- Around line 54-60: Update the “Update canonical database” step to pass
inputs.full_rebuild and steps.restore.outputs.restored through the step’s env
mapping, then reference those environment variables in the shell conditional
instead of inline template expressions. Preserve the existing full-rebuild and
incremental command selection.
- Around line 22-29: Update the sync-and-publish job to set an explicit
timeout-minutes value appropriate for the scheduled NVD rebuild, and configure
the actions/checkout step with persist-credentials disabled while retaining
GH_TOKEN authentication.

In `@bitprobe/scanner/cve_db_manager.py`:
- Around line 1148-1153: Extract the duplicated sync_state UPDATE SQL into a
module-level constant, then use that constant in both the current checkpoint
handling block and checkpoint_sync_page. Preserve the existing parameter binding
and ensure the current call site remains non-committing.

In `@bitprobe/scanner/update_lock.py`:
- Line 5: Make the locking implementation used by update_lock portable beyond

cve_db_manager can import and use it on Windows. If portability is not
supported, explicitly document the scanner’s POSIX-only requirement instead.

In `@bitprobe/scanner/update_notifier.py`:
- Around line 26-44: Remove the unused bootstrap_days parameter from
check_and_notify and delete the SCAN_BOOTSTRAP_DAYS constant. Keep
update_with_snapshot_policy responsible for the update window and preserve all
existing check_and_notify behavior and callers.

In `@scripts/build_cve_snapshot.py`:
- Around line 64-79: Update the build flow around manifest creation to reject
artifacts whose compressed size exceeds 512 MiB or uncompressed database size
exceeds 2 GiB, before publishing the manifest. Replace the whole-file read used
by the sha256_gz calculation with chunked streaming reads while preserving the
existing digest value and manifest fields.

In `@scripts/update_cve_snapshot_release.sh`:
- Around line 20-27: Update the existing gh release upload invocation in the
stable_tag release flow to pass artifact before manifest, ensuring the artifact
is replaced first and the manifest second; leave the release creation path
unchanged.

In `@tests/test_build_cve_snapshot.py`:
- Around line 39-55: Extend
test_build_snapshot_copies_sqlite_metadata_and_hashes_artifact to build the same
database twice into separate output directories, then assert both manifests’
sha256_gz values are identical, preserving the existing metadata and
artifact-content assertions.

In `@tests/test_cve_bootstrap_policy.py`:
- Around line 59-76: Extend the tests around update_with_snapshot_policy with a
stale-but-complete fallback case: mock cve_db_is_complete to return True,
provide stale metadata, make bootstrap_from_snapshot raise SnapshotError, and
assert that update_cve_database is called and its result is returned.

In `@tests/test_cve_db_bootstrap.py`:
- Around line 81-91: Update test_fetch_manifest_wraps_transport_errors to accept
pytest’s monkeypatch fixture, use it to patch client.get, and remove the
manually created MonkeyPatch instance plus the try/finally undo cleanup. Apply
the same direct-attribute patching change to
test_download_snapshot_wraps_transport_errors.

In `@tests/test_cve_metadata.py`:
- Around line 39-45: Add coverage in tests/test_cve_metadata.py for the
unknown-key validation in write_cve_metadata: use pytest.raises(ValueError) when
passing a metadata key outside CVE_METADATA_KEYS, reusing the isolated manager
setup from test_only_full_coverage_is_bootstrap_complete and adding the pytest
import if needed.

In `@tests/test_cve_sync_windows.py`:
- Line 45: Update the CVE sync fixture around manager.write_cve_metadata to
derive nvd_cursor from the current production window boundaries so it continues
exercising the single-window incremental path. Replace the hardcoded
window-count expectation with the count obtained from iter_nvd_windows using the
same inputs, preserving the existing assertions while avoiding fixed dates and
default-dependent values.

In `@tests/test_cve_workflow.py`:
- Around line 1-16: Update test_cve_workflow_has_safe_producer_contract to parse
update-cve-db.yml with yaml.safe_load and assert the required schedule,
permissions, concurrency, Python version, secrets, job steps, and scripts
through the resulting structure rather than raw formatting or literal searches.
Add from __future__ import annotations at the top of the test module and reuse
the declared PyYAML dependency.

90-99: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the exact ordered window sequence.

At Lines [90]-[99], the test checks only request count and maximum width. It does not detect a gap, overlap, shifted start, or shifted end.

Parse the request boundaries and compare the ordered pairs with list(manager.iter_nvd_windows(start, now)).

Proposed assertion update
-    assert len(seen) == len(list(manager.iter_nvd_windows(start, now)))
-    for params in seen:
-        start = datetime.fromisoformat(params["pubStartDate"])
-        end = datetime.fromisoformat(params["pubEndDate"])
-        assert end - start <= timedelta(days=119)
+    actual = [
+        (
+            datetime.fromisoformat(params["pubStartDate"]),
+            datetime.fromisoformat(params["pubEndDate"]),
+        )
+        for params in seen
+    ]
+    assert actual == list(manager.iter_nvd_windows(start, now))
