A three-layer concentric code-review framework engineered to eliminate false positives — intent is documented first, every layer stays strictly in its lane, and style is never reported as an error.
Raw code enters the CORE. CORE emits a Context Contract; PULSE reviews functionality with it; SHIELD hardens security with it. Click any ring to inspect that layer.
Hardens against attacker-reachable vulnerabilities. Receives contract + PULSE verdict. Emits VULNERABILITY (CWE + severity) or ACCEPTED_RISK.
Functionality & stability only. Does the code do what its documented FUNCTION says? Emits CONFIRMED_DEFECT or ADVISORY.
Documents, never judges. Captures Function / Connectivity / Inheritance / Dependencies into the authoritative Context Contract.
Code is processed innermost-out. Each stage hands its structured output forward; the final verdict pulses back out. Click any node to inspect it.
Documents block intent into the Context Contract.
Verifies functionality & stability against the contract.
Hardens security using contract + functionality verdict.
Consolidated, false-positive-guarded findings pulse outward.
One taxonomy used by every layer — so a documented intention can never be re-flagged as a defect.
Matches the Context Contract. Not a finding — acknowledged so it is never re-raised.
Violates documented Function or will demonstrably fail. PULSE only.
Attacker-reachable weakness with a plausible exploit path. SHIELD only. Carries CWE + severity.
Optional, non-blocking improvement — all stylistic preferences live here. Any layer may emit.
Theoretical weakness whose input is fully trusted per the contract. Noted, not actioned.
