🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not match a query that includes the collapse token.

⋯ is wildcard metadata, not a concrete path segment. For example, strings.HasSuffix("/var/log/⋯/foo.log", "⋯/foo.log") and strings.HasPrefix("/var/⋯/log/foo", "/var/⋯") return true, but the retained pattern does not prove either literal path relation. A CEL rule with either query can incorrectly suppress a rule result.

  • pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open.go#L144-L146: only compare a pattern when the queried suffix is wholly concrete relative to the collapse token.
  • pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open.go#L196-L198: only compare a pattern when the queried prefix is wholly concrete relative to the collapse token.

Add regression cases where the query contains ⋯.

146, The suffix and prefix matching branches in openPath handling must reject
queries containing the collapse token ⋯, since wildcard metadata cannot
establish a concrete path relation. Update the suffix logic at

// These two tests previously pinned the opposite contract — that Patterns must
// never contribute to suffix/prefix answers (CodeRabbit PR #43 review on
// open.go:79). That contract caused a permanent false positive: volatile paths are
// always stored as Patterns, so a correctly learned profile records the kubelet
// atomic-writer SA-token open as "/run/secrets/.../serviceaccount/⋯/token" and the
// helper answered "not opened", firing R0006 on every read. Issue #98.
//
// In projection-active mode (Opens.All=false), the rule manager
// precomputes Opens.SuffixHits / PrefixHits from the spec, which is
// the correct mechanism — those are exercised in
// TestOpenWithSuffixInProfile / TestOpenWithPrefixInProfile.
// The stated rationale did not support the code it justified. It warned that
// strings.HasSuffix on a pattern "returns false and produces a false negative" —
// but skipping Patterns returns false too, so the blanket skip GUARANTEED the very
// false negative it was meant to avoid, for concrete-leaf patterns as well as
// wildcard-leaf ones.
//
// This test exercises the pass-through path directly by setting a
// ProjectedContainerProfile where Opens.All=true, Values contains a
// concrete path with the queried suffix, and Patterns contains a
// wildcard-pattern that ALSO appears to satisfy strings.HasSuffix
// against the queried suffix. The pattern must be ignored.
