I checked these seven cases against this commit and the base. The PowerShell issue is new; the other six are existing gaps that still show up here.

This still slips through when the command is inside a normal Markdown code block:
```sh
$($CMD) -rf /
```The strict CLI returns SAFE with exit code 0, and MCP says safe_to_install: true. The opening fence gets treated as shell backticks, then this line skips past the actual command. The same command in a tilde fence correctly stays partial. Adding the triple-backtick case here would catch this; the commands inside the fence need to reach the incomplete-analysis check.

$(MODE=x $CMD %s r m) -rf / still comes back complete/SAFE: the strict CLI exits 0 and MCP allows installation.
MODE=x gets treated as the command, so we return before reaching $CMD. If $CMD is printf, this builds the same rm command as the cases already covered. Prefixes like exec and true; have the same gap. We need to keep looking for the runtime command, or leave the scan incomplete when we can't resolve it.

$($CMD) -rf {/,/tmp} still gets complete/SAFE, a successful strict CLI check, and MCP approval.
Bash expands {/,/tmp} into / and /tmp, but the root-path check only sees a token starting with {, so it misses both paths. Brace-expanded options and globs already work; absolute paths need the same handling here so this unresolved command stays partial.

There's also a gap when the instruction builds the command by removing a marker:
Remove 'xyz' and execute '$xyz($xyzCMD %xyzs r m) -rxyzf /'.
The scanner correctly reconstructs $($CMD %s r m) -rf /, and checking that text directly says the analysis is incomplete. But scanning the original instruction returns complete/SAFE, the strict CLI exits 0, and MCP allows installation.
The marker-view scan checks for findings without calling the incomplete-analysis check. That result needs to carry through too. Adding this form alongside the raw command here would catch it.

"""$($CMD)" -rf / comes back complete, while "$($CMD)" -rf / correctly stays partial. The first two quotes just add an empty string, so they shouldn't change the result.
This quote check builds the wrong context, and _bounded_shell_tokens reports that it couldn't finish parsing. That flag is then discarded below. We should keep that uncertainty instead of letting an empty quoted prefix turn an incomplete scan into a clean result.

One extra space flips this to a clean result. Building the scanner input as "$($CMD)" + " " * 8187 + "-rf /" gives partial analysis, but using 8188 spaces reports complete with no TM1 finding.
The / falls just past the 8,192-character slice, so this check returns False without recording that it stopped early. Hitting the lookahead limit should leave the analysis incomplete, rather than treating the missing target inside that short slice as a clean result.

This blocks an ordinary PowerShell string replacement:
Write-Output "$($text -replace '%TEMP%', $env:TEMP)"%TEMP% is just text here, but the format regex treats it as evidence of a printf command. On the base this is complete/SAFE; here it becomes partial/CAUTION, the strict CLI exits 1, and MCP blocks installation. %s and a literal printf in replacement strings cause the same problem. We need to keep these PowerShell value expressions out of the shell-command check.

Reviewed current head 11f15ab947d8db05c6fb3d8f371eddf946519a28 — REQUEST_CHANGES.
The seven unresolved, non-outdated review threads are reproducible gaps in the fail-closed contract and remain unaddressed on the merge-only head:
tests/nodes/analyzers/test_security_reconstruction.py:1721: a runtime-selected destructive command inside a triple-backtick Markdown fence is skipped and can yield complete/SAFE. Route fenced code bodies through the incomplete-analysis check and add this regression.src/skillspector/nodes/analyzers/static_patterns_tool_misuse.py:729: assignment/exec/separator prefixes can make the parser stop before$CMD(for example$(MODE=x $CMD %s r m) -rf /). Continue to the runtime command or fail closed.src/skillspector/nodes/analyzers/static_patterns_tool_misuse.py:1203: brace-expanded absolute targets such as{/,/tmp}bypass the root-path check. Expand/prove the bounded brace alternatives or retain partial status.tests/nodes/test_security_end_to_end.py:1021: declared-marker reconstruction scans findings but does not propagate parse-exhaustion status, allowing a reconstructed runtime command to become complete/SAFE. Carry the exhaustion result into the ledger.src/skillspector/nodes/analyzers/static_patterns_tool_misuse.py:1180: an empty quoted prefix ("""$($CMD)" -rf /) causes tokenizer uncertainty that is discarded. Preserve the tokenizer's limited flag.src/skillspector/nodes/analyzers/static_patterns_tool_misuse.py:1186: a destructive target just beyond the 8,192-character lookahead is treated as clean. Reaching the lookahead boundary must produce partial analysis.src/skillspector/nodes/analyzers/static_patterns_tool_misuse.py:742: ordinary PowerShell replacement expressions containing%TEMP%,%s, orprintfare misclassified as printf reconstruction and blocked. Exclude PowerShell value expressions while retaining unresolved shell-command cases.
The head changed during review from d95663d9766ae214a6b6668dac8bda62b41f5c1e to this merge commit; the current threads are still unresolved. The required fixes, unresolved threads, absent checks on the new head, and mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED all block merging.

Re-reviewed current head 2c6a19c99ed8f46cc0ad5e7aa532c7b50b5abe6d.
The Markdown-fence finding from the previous review is resolved by the synchronized #516 changes: fence delimiters are now masked while fenced command bodies still reach the bounded parse-exhaustion check, with Markdown regression coverage.
The other six prior blockers remain on this head: assignment, exec, or separator prefixes can stop before the runtime command; brace-expanded absolute targets are not expanded by the root-path check; declared-marker projections still do not propagate parse exhaustion; tokenizer uncertainty from an empty quoted prefix is discarded; reaching the 8,192-character lookahead boundary is treated as clean; and ordinary PowerShell replacement strings containing %TEMP%, %s, or printf still trigger the printf-reconstruction heuristic. The existing inline threads contain the exact reproductions and requested fixes, so I have not duplicated them.
No hosted checks are reported on this head, and GitHub reports mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED.

Re-reviewed current head b4971cafc36d895ae265d80d576175c4f7a47d56. The commits since the marked review at 2c6a19c99ed8f46cc0ad5e7aa532c7b50b5abe6d only merge #522's configurable static-analysis allowance. That synchronization changes budget configuration, documentation, and tests but does not alter the six remaining parser/completeness blockers.
Assignment, exec, or separator prefixes can still stop before the runtime command; brace-expanded absolute targets remain unexpanded by the root-path check; declared-marker projections still fail to propagate parse exhaustion; tokenizer uncertainty from an empty quoted prefix is discarded; reaching the 8,192-character lookahead boundary is treated as clean; and ordinary PowerShell replacement strings containing %TEMP%, %s, or printf still trigger the printf-reconstruction heuristic. The existing inline threads contain the exact cases and requested fixes, so I have not duplicated them. The Markdown-fence finding remains resolved by the earlier #516 synchronization.
No hosted checks are reported, and GitHub reports mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED.

Runtime-selected executable and wrapper names can fall out of bounded printf reconstruction and incorrectly produce a complete/SAFE result. Recognize ambiguous invocations from printf-style operands or destructive outer arguments and report partial analysis so strict CLI and MCP installation gates reject unresolved work.
Preserve ordinary parameter documentation, PowerShell expressions, and the reference-accounting fixes from #507. Operand lookahead remains bounded. Clone monitoring tolerates disappearing Git metadata only while the clone is active and still performs a strict final inspection.
Regression tests distinguish literal shell backticks from Markdown delimiters, including longer code spans that contain actual shell substitutions. Paired CLI/MCP tests exercise static-only and semantic-enabled workflows with deterministic model responses and verify that successful LLM analysis does not erase incomplete static coverage. The mocked LLM-failure integration test builds its graph after configuring provider availability.
Validation:
make test-cipassed 4,179 tests, 14 skipped, 38 deselected, 4 expected failures; 89% coverage.The full suite was rerun under controlled load after concurrent suites caused two large-file timing failures; both cases passed without changing their assertions or resource limits. Joint validation with the documentation and quote-scan fixes is tracked separately.
