# Renacer Unwrap Audit Report

**Generated**: 2025-11-24
**Phase**: UNWRAP-AUDIT-001
**Methodology**: Pmat-inspired systematic categorization

---

## Executive Summary

**Total Unwraps**: 405
**Risk Distribution** (estimated):
- 🔴 **Critical**: ~50-80 unwraps (12-20%) - Production syscall/file operations
- 🟠 **High**: ~80-120 unwraps (20-30%) - Parsing operations
- 🟡 **Medium**: ~50-80 unwraps (12-20%) - Configuration/initialization
- 🟢 **Low/Test**: ~175-225 unwraps (43-55%) - Test assertions & hardcoded constants

**Primary Concern**: Many unwraps appear in test code, BUT test unwraps still represent defects:
- Test panics = CI failures
- Unclear error messages
- Should use `.expect("reason")` for documentation

## Critical Risk Files (Priority 1 - Sprint 46)

### 1. trueno_db_storage.rs (22 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🔴 CRITICAL - File I/O and database operations

**Sample Issues**:
- File writing operations can fail (disk full, permissions)
- Parquet operations can fail (invalid data)
- DB connection failures

**Elimination Strategy**: Replace with `?` propagation

---

### 2. dwarf.rs (19 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🔴 CRITICAL - DWARF parsing

**Why Critical**:
- Missing debug info (stripped binaries)
- Corrupted DWARF data
- Unsupported DWARF versions

**Sample Unwraps**:
```rust
Line 163: let temp_dir = TempDir::new().unwrap();
Line 167: fs::write(&src_file, "...").unwrap();
Line 194: let ctx = DwarfContext::load(&bin_file).unwrap();
```

**Elimination Strategy**:
- Tests: Replace with `.expect("test setup should succeed")`
- Production: Replace with `?` + graceful fallback

---

### 3. trace_context.rs (11 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🔴 CRITICAL - Trace parsing & thread operations

**Critical Lines**:
```rust
Line 831: handle.join().unwrap(); // Thread join can panic!
Line 858: handle.join().unwrap();
```

**Why Critical**: Thread panics propagate on join

**Elimination Strategy**: Replace with proper panic handling

---

### 4. cli.rs (Production unwraps)
**Risk**: 🔴 CRITICAL

**Line 228**: `let cmd = cli.command.unwrap();`
- This is production code (not a test)
- If command is None, CLI panics (bad UX)

**Elimination Strategy**: Replace with proper error message

---

## High Risk Files (Priority 2 - Sprint 47)

### 1. filter.rs (28 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟠 HIGH - Regex compilation

**Why High**:
- User-provided regex patterns can be invalid
- Regex compilation can fail

**Elimination Strategy**:
- Hardcoded regex: `.expect("hardcoded regex is valid")`
- User regex: `?` propagation with clear error

---

### 2. regression/statistics.rs (7 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟠 HIGH - Statistical calculations

**Why High**:
- trueno 0.7.0 operations return Result<f32>
- Division by zero possible
- NaN/Inf handling

**Elimination Strategy**: Replace with `?` propagation

---

### 3. stats.rs (21 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟠 HIGH - Statistical operations

**Similar to regression/statistics.rs**

---

## Medium Risk Files (Priority 3 - Sprint 48)

### 1. transpiler_map.rs (14 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟡 MEDIUM - Configuration parsing

**Elimination Strategy**: `.expect()` with clear messages

---

### 2. assertion_dsl.rs (9 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟡 MEDIUM - DSL parsing

**Elimination Strategy**: `.expect()` for invalid DSL syntax

---

### 3. rle_compression.rs (9 unwraps)
**Risk**: 🟡 MEDIUM - Encoding/decoding

**Elimination Strategy**: `.expect()` for algorithm invariants

---

## Low Risk Files (Priority 4 - Sprint 48)

### Test Files (~200+ unwraps)
- function_profiler.rs: 51 unwraps (all tests)
- cluster/tests.rs: 23 unwraps
- time_attribution/tests.rs: 16 unwraps
- regression/tests.rs: 10 unwraps
- causal_graph.rs: 14 unwraps (mostly tests)

**Why Still Important**:
- Test panics = unclear CI failures
- `.expect("reason")` provides documentation
- Follows Rust best practices

**Example Fix**:
```rust
// Before
assert_eq!(stats.get("main").unwrap().count, 5);

// After
assert_eq!(
    stats.get("main")
        .expect("'main' function should have stats")
        .count,
    5
);
```

## Estimated Elimination Effort

| Phase | Risk Level | Files | Unwraps | Effort (hours) |
|-------|------------|-------|---------|----------------|
| Sprint 46 | Critical | 4 | ~52 | 15-20 |
| Sprint 47 | High | 3 | ~56 | 12-18 |
| Sprint 48 | Medium | 6 | ~60 | 10-15 |
| Sprint 48 | Low/Test | ~30 | ~237 | 15-20 |
| **Total** | **All** | **~43** | **405** | **52-73** |

## Next Steps

### Immediate (UNWRAP-AUDIT-001)
- [x] Generate this report
- [ ] Validate categorization by reading critical file contexts
- [ ] Create Phase 2 spec (UNWRAP-CRITICAL-001)
- [ ] Create Phase 3 spec (UNWRAP-HIGH-001)
- [ ] Create Phase 4 spec (UNWRAP-MEDIUM-LOW-001)

### Sprint 46 (UNWRAP-CRITICAL-001)
1. trueno_db_storage.rs: File I/O → `?` propagation
2. dwarf.rs: DWARF parsing → `?` + fallback
3. trace_context.rs: Thread joins → panic handling
4. cli.rs: CLI parsing → proper error

### Sprint 47 (UNWRAP-HIGH-001)
1. filter.rs: Regex compilation
2. regression/statistics.rs: Statistical ops
3. stats.rs: Statistical calculations

### Sprint 48 (UNWRAP-MEDIUM-LOW-001)
1. Medium: Config parsing files → `.expect()`
2. Low: Test files → `.expect()` with reasons
