# Phase 02: Code Review Report

**Reviewed:** 2026-04-20T10:00:00Z
**Depth:** standard
**Files Reviewed:** 8
**Status:** issues_found

## Summary

This review covers the phase-02 correctness fixes: CORR-01 (encoding detection extended to full-file scan) and CORR-03 (`find_indicators_split` validation guard). The logic for both fixes is sound at a high level, but several issues were found ranging from a critical unsoundness in the `parse_meta` `unsafe` block to warnings about unbounded recursion, a 256-byte window assumption, and an incorrect Actions checkout version. No secrets or injection vulnerabilities were found.

## Critical Issues

### CR-01: `parse_meta` applies `str::from_utf8_unchecked` to potentially non-UTF-8 bytes

**File:** `src/sqllog.rs:135`
**Issue:** The `to_cow` closure used inside `parse_meta` has two branches. When `is_borrowed = false` (i.e., `meta_raw` is a `Cow::Owned` string that was GB18030-decoded and re-encoded as a valid Rust `String`), the else-branch calls `std::str::from_utf8_unchecked(bytes)` directly on a sub-slice of `meta_raw.as_bytes()`. Because `meta_raw` is always a valid `String` at this point the UB cannot actually be triggered by the current callers — however the branch also runs when `is_borrowed = false` and encoding is `Auto` and the GB18030 decode fell back to `String::from_utf8_lossy`, which always produces valid UTF-8. The real danger is that the unsafe branch is written as if `bytes` could be any arbitrary byte slice; any future caller that passes `is_borrowed = false` with a non-UTF-8 `meta_raw` would silently produce undefined behaviour. More immediately, the `Owned` branch skips the `to_string()` step and instead calls `from_utf8_unchecked` on the borrowed view of an `Owned` allocation, then transmutes the lifetime to `'a` via `from_raw_parts`. This is unsound: the `Owned` `String` inside `meta_raw` lives only as long as `self`, not `'a`, so the returned `Cow<'a, str>` can outlive its backing storage if `parse_meta`'s return value is held past the lifetime of `self`.

**Fix:**
```rust
// Replace the `else` branch of `to_cow`:
} else {
    // meta_raw is Owned (GB18030-decoded) → it is valid UTF-8 (Rust String invariant).
    // We must NOT extend the lifetime to 'a; return an owned copy instead.
    Cow::Owned(
        std::str::from_utf8(bytes)
            .expect("meta_raw is always valid UTF-8")
            .to_string(),
    )
}
```

## Warnings

### WR-01: Unbounded recursion in `LogIterator::next` for consecutive empty slices

**File:** `src/parser.rs:162-164`
**Issue:** When `record_slice` is empty after trimming the trailing `\r`, the iterator calls `self.next()` recursively. For a file that contains a large number of consecutive blank lines (e.g., many `\r\n\r\n` sequences), this can overflow the stack. The iterator already advances `self.pos` before the check, so the recursion will eventually terminate, but there is no depth bound. A file constructed entirely of blank lines (e.g., 100,000 `\n` bytes) would recurse ~100,000 times.

**Fix:**
```rust
// Replace the recursive call with an iterative loop:
impl<'a> Iterator for LogIterator<'a> {
    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item> {
        loop {
            if self.pos >= self.data.len() {
                return None;
            }
            // ... existing scan logic ...
            let record_slice = ...; // trim CR as before
            if record_slice.is_empty() {
                continue; // iterate instead of recurse
            }
            return Some(parse_record_with_hint(...));
        }
    }
}
```

### WR-02: `find_indicators_split` 256-byte window silently drops indicators beyond the window

**File:** `src/sqllog.rs:215`
**Issue:** The split-finder only scans the last 256 bytes of `content_raw`. If the indicators section is longer than 256 bytes (e.g., an unusually long `EXEC_ID` value or whitespace padding before the indicators), the method will return `len` (no split) and `parse_indicators()` will return `None`. There is no warning or error — the data is silently lost. A typical indicators string is ~50 bytes, so this rarely triggers, but the assumption is undocumented and the magic number `256` has no associated named constant or comment explaining the bound.

**Fix:**
```rust
// Name the constant and add a comment explaining the rationale:
/// Maximum byte length of an indicators section.
/// Typical indicators ("EXECTIME: x(ms) ROWCOUNT: y(rows) EXEC_ID: z.") are ≤ 80 bytes.
/// 256 is a conservative upper bound.
const INDICATORS_WINDOW: usize = 256;

let start = len.saturating_sub(INDICATORS_WINDOW);
```
Consider also increasing the window to 512 bytes for additional safety margin, or adding a debug assertion when a potential match is found outside the window.

### WR-03: `parse_meta` silently truncates GB18030 username at the first ASCII space

**File:** `src/sqllog.rs:151-154`
**Issue:** `parse_meta` tokenizes the meta string by splitting on ASCII space characters (`b' '`). GB18030 multi-byte sequences never contain `0x20` as a continuation byte, so this is safe for most Chinese characters. However, if the `user:` value contains a GB18030-encoded space (which can happen with full-width space U+3000 encoded differently, or with raw 0x20 in a username), the token will be cut short. In the current codebase `meta_raw` is already decoded to a valid UTF-8 `String` for GB18030 files (via `Cow::Owned` in `parse_record_with_hint`), meaning `meta_bytes` would contain the UTF-8 re-encoding of the GB18030 text, not raw GB18030 bytes. Therefore any GB18030 multi-byte space is safe. The real risk is that the code comment on line 284 ("meta_bytes is a sub-slice of first_line") is misleading for the GB18030 `Owned` case — it implies raw bytes, but the value is actually already decoded UTF-8. This documentation inconsistency may lead future maintainers to reason incorrectly about the byte layout.

**Fix:** Update the SAFETY comment on line 284 and the `parse_meta` closure comment to make the GB18030 (`Owned`) vs UTF-8 (`Borrowed`) distinction explicit:
```rust
// For Utf8 encoding: meta_bytes is a sub-slice of the memory-mapped buffer (raw UTF-8).
// For Gb18030 / Auto encoding: meta_raw is Cow::Owned (already decoded to UTF-8 String).
// In both cases the bytes are valid UTF-8 when passed to `to_cow`.
```

### WR-04: GitHub Actions uses `actions/checkout@v6` which does not exist

**File:** `.github/workflows/miri.yml:19`
**Issue:** `actions/checkout@v6` is referenced, but as of the knowledge cutoff the latest stable release of `actions/checkout` is v4. Using a non-existent major version tag will cause the workflow to fail at runtime with a resolution error. The Miri CI job will never run, defeating its purpose of catching `unsafe` regressions.

**Fix:**
```yaml
- name: Checkout repository
  uses: actions/checkout@v4
```

## Info

### IN-01: `is_multiline` flag set regardless of whether current line is first line

**File:** `src/parser.rs:142`
**Issue:** `is_multiline` is set to `true` on every iteration of the scan loop that does not find a next-record-start timestamp. This means even when the current record is a single line (the loop finds a `\n` but the byte after it is not a record start because it is part of trailing whitespace or EOF), `is_multiline` will be `true` after the first non-record-start newline. This causes `parse_record_with_hint` to enter the `is_multiline` branch which calls `memchr(b'\n', ...)` again to re-split. The result is still correct, but the `is_multiline = false` fast path intended to skip the second `memchr` call is never actually taken for records that contain any newline (even a trailing one). This is a minor performance regression on single-line records that happen to end in `\n`.

**Fix:** Set `is_multiline = true` only when `scan_pos > 0` (i.e., at least one non-record-start line was skipped):
```rust
// After the while loop, before record_end/next_start computation:
// is_multiline is already correctly set if any non-start line was encountered.
// No change needed in logic — but the current code sets it prematurely.
// Move the assignment:
if scan_pos > 0 {
    is_multiline = true;
}
```
Actually the flag is set inside the loop body before `scan_pos` is advanced, so the simplest fix is:
```rust
// Change line 142 from:
is_multiline = true;
// To:
// (remove this line; set is_multiline = scan_pos > 0 after the loop)
```

### IN-02: `FINDER_CLOSE_META` uses `") "` but fallback uses `memrchr(b')')`

**File:** `src/parser.rs:268-270`
**Issue:** The primary search for the meta-closing `)` uses the pattern `") "` (closing paren + space) via `FINDER_CLOSE_META`. The fallback uses `memrchr(b')')` which finds the last bare `)` without requiring a trailing space. This asymmetry means that when the SIMD finder finds no `") "`, the fallback may find a `)` that is not actually the meta-close (e.g., a `)` inside the meta content itself). The fallback was intentionally added to handle the `appname: (some text)` style where the space after `)` is absent, but it can produce incorrect `meta_end` when the meta field itself contains parentheses. No test currently covers this case.

**Fix:** Add a test for meta containing parentheses (e.g., `appname:(app v1.0)`) to confirm the correct `meta_end` is selected, and document the known limitation in a comment.

### IN-03: Miri CI workflow runs `--test performance_metrics` but that file is not in the reviewed file list

**File:** `.github/workflows/miri.yml:37`
**Issue:** The Miri job runs `cargo miri test --test performance_metrics --test sqllog_additional --test edge_cases`. The `performance_metrics` test file is not in the current change set so it is unclear whether it also carries `#[cfg(not(miri))]` guards on mmap-dependent tests. If it does not, Miri will fail on mmap operations. This is a consistency/maintenance concern rather than an immediate bug since the file was presumably set up in an earlier phase.

**Fix:** Verify that `tests/performance_metrics.rs` has `#[cfg(not(miri))]` on all tests that call `LogParser::from_path`, consistent with the pattern used in the other test files.
