# WebAssembly Integration Specification v3
*Pragmatic zero-defect validation through incremental verification*

## Core Architecture

### Streaming Analysis Pipeline
```rust
pub struct WasmAnalyzer {
    parser: wasmparser::Parser,
    validator: wasmparser::Validator,
    instruction_profiler: InstructionProfiler,
    pattern_detector: PatternDetector,
    security_auditor: SecurityAuditor,
}

impl WasmAnalyzer {
    pub fn analyze_streaming(&self, binary: &[u8]) -> Result<Analysis> {
        let mut validator = wasmparser::Validator::new();
        let mut profiler = self.instruction_profiler.clone();
        let mut patterns = self.pattern_detector.clone();
        
        for payload in wasmparser::Parser::new(0).parse_all(binary) {
            let payload = payload?;
            validator.payload(&payload)?;
            profiler.observe(&payload);
            patterns.scan(&payload)?;
        }
        
        Ok(Analysis {
            module_info: validator.into_module_info()?,
            instruction_mix: profiler.finalize(),
            vulnerability_patterns: patterns.finalize(),
            security_report: self.security_auditor.audit(binary)?,
        })
    }
}
```

## Incremental Formal Verification

### Property-Based Safety Checks
```rust
/// Phase 1: Critical property verification using existing tools
pub struct IncrementalVerifier {
    // Use wabt's wasm-validate for structural verification
    structural: wabt::Module,
    // Use wasm-smith for differential testing
    differential: wasm_smith::Module,
    // Simple invariant checker for Phase 1
    invariants: InvariantChecker,
}

impl IncrementalVerifier {
    /// Phase 1: Verify basic memory safety invariants (v1.0)
    pub fn verify_memory_bounds(&self, func: &Function) -> VerificationResult {
        // Simple static analysis - no SMT solver required
        let mut stack_types = Vec::new();
        let memory_size = self.module.memory_size();
        
        for op in func.operators() {
            match op {
                Operator::I32Load { offset, .. } => {
                    // Check static offset bounds
                    if offset > memory_size - 4 {
                        return VerificationResult::OutOfBounds(offset);
                    }
                    // Verify stack has i32 for address
                    if stack_types.pop() != Some(ValType::I32) {
                        return VerificationResult::TypeError;
                    }
                }
                _ => self.update_stack_types(&mut stack_types, op),
            }
        }
        VerificationResult::Safe
    }
    
    /// Phase 2: Differential testing against reference implementation (v1.1)
    pub fn differential_test(&self, module: &[u8]) -> DifferentialResult {
        let test_cases = wasm_smith::generate_test_cases(module, 1000);
        let reference = wasmtime::Module::new(module)?;
        let candidate = wasmer::Module::new(module)?;
        
        for case in test_cases {
            let ref_result = reference.execute(&case);
            let cand_result = candidate.execute(&case);
            
            if ref_result != cand_result {
                return DifferentialResult::Divergence(case, ref_result, cand_result);
            }
        }
        DifferentialResult::Consistent
    }
    
    /// Phase 3: SMT-based verification (future release)
    /// Integrate with existing research tools rather than building from scratch
    #[cfg(feature = "smt-verification")]
    pub fn verify_with_smt(&self, module: &[u8]) -> Future<VerificationResult> {
        // Plan: Integrate with wasp-symbolic or similar existing tool
        // This avoids the massive complexity of building our own WASM→SMT translator
        unimplemented!("Planned for v2.0 - will integrate wasp-symbolic")
    }
}
```

## Asynchronous Profiling

### Shadow Stack Profiling
```rust
/// Non-blocking profiler using shadow stack instrumentation
pub struct AsyncProfiler {
    shadow_stacks: Arc<RwLock<Vec<ShadowStack>>>,
    sample_interval: Duration,
}

/// Instrumentation injected at module load time
impl AsyncProfiler {
    pub fn instrument(&self, module: &mut Module) -> Result<()> {
        // Allocate shadow stack in separate linear memory
        let shadow_mem = module.add_memory(MemoryType {
            initial: 1,  // 64KB for shadow stack
            maximum: Some(1),
            shared: true,  // Allow concurrent read access
        });
        
        // Inject lightweight stack tracking
        for (func_idx, func) in module.functions.iter_mut().enumerate() {
            // Push to shadow stack on entry
            func.body.insert(0, vec![
                Operator::I32Const(func_idx as i32),
                Operator::I32Const(0), // shadow stack pointer
                Operator::I32Store { memarg: MemArg { offset: 0, align: 2 } },
            ]);
            
            // Pop from shadow stack on exit (before each return)
            for (i, op) in func.body.iter().enumerate() {
                if matches!(op, Operator::Return) {
                    func.body.insert(i, vec![
                        Operator::I32Const(-4),
                        Operator::I32Store { memarg: MemArg { offset: 0, align: 2 } },
                    ]);
                }
            }
        }
        Ok(())
    }
    
    pub fn start_sampling(&self, instance: Arc<WasmInstance>) -> JoinHandle<()> {
        let shadow_stacks = self.shadow_stacks.clone();
        let interval = self.sample_interval;
        
        thread::spawn(move || {
            let mut timer = tokio::time::interval(interval);
            loop {
                timer.tick().await;
                
                // Read shadow stack without pausing execution
                let shadow_mem = instance.get_shared_memory(1);
                let stack_snapshot = shadow_mem.read_atomic(0..256);
                
                let mut stacks = shadow_stacks.write().unwrap();
                stacks.push(ShadowStack::from_bytes(stack_snapshot));
                
                if stacks.len() > 10000 {
                    break; // Sample limit reached
                }
            }
        })
    }
}
```

## Capability-Based Hardware Classes

### Fuzzy Hardware Matching
```rust
#[derive(Clone, PartialEq)]
pub struct HardwareClass {
    cpu_family: CpuFamily,
    core_count_class: CoreClass,
    cache_class: CacheClass,
}

#[derive(Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum CoreClass {
    Single,      // 1 core
    Dual,        // 2 cores
    Quad,        // 3-4 cores
    Octa,        // 5-8 cores
    Many,        // 9+ cores
}

impl HardwareClass {
    pub fn similarity(&self, other: &HardwareClass) -> f64 {
        let mut score = 0.0;
        
        // CPU family match is most important
        if self.cpu_family == other.cpu_family {
            score += 0.5;
        } else if self.cpu_family.compatible_with(&other.cpu_family) {
            score += 0.25;
        }
        
        // Core count similarity
        score += 0.3 * (1.0 - (self.core_count_class.distance(&other.core_count_class) as f64 / 4.0));
        
        // Cache class similarity
        score += 0.2 * (1.0 - (self.cache_class.distance(&other.cache_class) as f64 / 3.0));
        
        score
    }
    
    pub fn performance_factor(&self, baseline: &HardwareClass) -> f64 {
        // Empirically derived correction factors
        let core_factor = self.core_count_class.speedup() / baseline.core_count_class.speedup();
        let cache_factor = 1.0 + (self.cache_class.mb() - baseline.cache_class.mb()) * 0.02;
        
        core_factor * cache_factor
    }
}
```

## Anchored Quality Metrics

### Multi-Point Baseline System
```rust
pub struct QualityBaseline {
    release_anchor: Metrics,      // Last major release (immutable)
    stable_anchor: Metrics,        // Last stable tag
    rolling_window: RollingStats, // Recent 30 days
}

impl QualityBaseline {
    pub fn evaluate(&self, current: &Metrics) -> QualityAssessment {
        let mut violations = Vec::new();
        
        // Hard limit: Never exceed release anchor p99
        if current.complexity_p95 > self.release_anchor.complexity_p99 {
            violations.push(Violation::ComplexityRegression {
                current: current.complexity_p95,
                limit: self.release_anchor.complexity_p99,
                severity: Severity::Error,
            });
        }
        
        // Soft limit: Warn if exceeding stable anchor p95
        if current.complexity_p90 > self.stable_anchor.complexity_p95 {
            violations.push(Violation::ComplexityCreep {
                current: current.complexity_p90,
                baseline: self.stable_anchor.complexity_p95,
                severity: Severity::Warning,
            });
        }
        
        // Trend detection: Alert on sustained increases
        if self.rolling_window.trend_slope() > 0.1 {
            violations.push(Violation::QualityErosion {
                slope: self.rolling_window.trend_slope(),
                severity: Severity::Warning,
            });
        }
        
        QualityAssessment { violations }
    }
}
```

## Pattern-Based Security Analysis

### Bytecode Vulnerability Detection
```rust
pub struct PatternDetector {
    patterns: Vec<VulnerabilityPattern>,
}

pub struct VulnerabilityPattern {
    name: &'static str,
    opcodes: Vec<OpcodePattern>,
    severity: Severity,
}

impl PatternDetector {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            patterns: vec![
                // Integer overflow in loop counter
                VulnerabilityPattern {
                    name: "potential-integer-overflow",
                    opcodes: vec![
                        OpcodePattern::Sequence(vec![
                            Operator::I32Add,
                            Operator::BrIf,
                        ]),
                    ],
                    severity: Severity::Medium,
                },
                
                // Potential timing side-channel
                VulnerabilityPattern {
                    name: "timing-side-channel",
                    opcodes: vec![
                        OpcodePattern::Within(5, vec![
                            Operator::I32Load,
                            Operator::BrIf,
                        ]),
                    ],
                    severity: Severity::Low,
                },
                
                // Unvalidated indirect call
                VulnerabilityPattern {
                    name: "unvalidated-indirect-call",
                    opcodes: vec![
                        OpcodePattern::NotPrecededBy(
                            Operator::CallIndirect,
                            vec![Operator::I32RemU, Operator::I32And],
                        ),
                    ],
                    severity: Severity::High,
                },
            ],
        }
    }
    
    pub fn scan(&mut self, payload: &Payload) -> Result<()> {
        if let Payload::CodeSectionEntry(body) = payload {
            let operators: Vec<_> = body.get_operators_reader()?.collect();
            
            for pattern in &self.patterns {
                if pattern.matches(&operators) {
                    self.found.push(VulnerabilityMatch {
                        pattern: pattern.name,
                        location: body.range(),
                        severity: pattern.severity,
                    });
                }
            }
        }
        Ok(())
    }
}
```

## Implementation Timeline

### Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1-2)
- Instruction mix profiling
- Pattern-based security scanning
- Anchored quality baselines

### Phase 2: Verification (Weeks 3-4)
- Basic invariant checking
- Differential testing infrastructure
- Research tool integration planning

### Phase 3: Production (Weeks 5-6)
- Shadow stack instrumentation
- Fuzzy hardware matching
- CI/CD pipeline integration

### Phase 4: Optimization (Week 7)
- Performance tuning
- Memory optimization
- Telemetry integration

## Performance Characteristics

```
Analysis throughput:     > 100MB/s
Pattern matching:        < 2μs/instruction
Shadow stack overhead:   < 0.05% CPU
Hardware matching:       O(1) with precomputed classes
Baseline comparison:     < 1ms per metric set
Memory overhead:         < 100KB per module
```

## Risk Mitigation

1. **Formal verification complexity**: Start with simple invariants, integrate existing tools
2. **Profiling overhead**: Shadow stack avoids stop-the-world pauses
3. **Hardware variance**: Fuzzy matching with empirical correction factors
4. **Quality drift**: Multi-anchor system prevents long-term degradation
5. **Security blind spots**: Pattern library extensible, crowdsourced patterns
