What does this PR do?

filter-changed-line-findings.mjs scopes ESLint findings to lines added or modified by a
diff. It parsed git diff --unified=0 hunk headers, but for a file marked -diff in
.gitattributes (or one with a textconv driver) Git emits a binary marker with no hunks.
The command exits 0, the filter records an empty set, and every finding in that file is
discarded — the security lint passes green.

The filter now asks Git for a textual diff (--text --no-ext-diff --no-textconv). If a
changed file still yields no hunks, all of its lines are treated as changed, so an
attribute can never silence the gate.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Checklist

  • PR targets the main branch.
  • Commits follow Conventional Commits.
  • npm run lint and npm run format:check pass.
  • npm run typecheck passes.
  • npm test passes and coverage stays at or above the 80% gate.
  • New behavior is covered by unit tests (mock-based; no network or credentials).
  • No secrets, API keys, internal endpoints, or personal data are included.
  • No user-facing doc change needed (CI script only).

Notes for reviewers

  • The fixture marks src/attr.ts with -diff in .gitattributes; with the old
    git diff invocation the new regression test fails, and it passes with the fix.
  • node --test .github/scripts/filter-changed-line-findings.test.mjs → 8 pass.
  • node --test '.github/scripts/*.test.mjs' → 105 pass, 2 skipped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved change-based analysis for files with custom Git diff settings.
    • Findings on genuinely changed lines are now consistently included in quality gates, even when file attributes previously hid diff sections.
    • Findings on unchanged lines remain excluded as expected.
    • When changed-line information cannot be determined, findings are preserved for evaluation rather than incorrectly treated as outside the changed scope.

The changed-line filter parsed `git diff --unified=0` hunk headers. A
`.gitattributes` `-diff` attribute (or a textconv driver) makes Git emit a
binary marker with no hunks, so every finding in that file was discarded
and the security lint passed green.

Force a textual diff with `--text --no-ext-diff --no-textconv`; if a
changed file still yields no hunks, keep every finding in it.

Closes TestSprite#537

Walkthrough

The changed-line filter now requests textual Git diffs and disables external diff and textconv processing. If it finds no parseable hunks, it keeps findings eligible. Regression tests cover changed and unchanged lines in files marked -diff.

The filter change appears mergeable, but the requested end-to-end regression coverage is missing. Add a wrapper test for the raw finding with and without the -diff attribute.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to .github/scripts/filter-changed-line-findings.mjs and its focused test. The implementation prevents Git diff attributes, external diff drivers, and textconv processing from hiding changed-file findings. The tests support the linked issue behavior. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #537 requires the changed-line security lint to remain non-green for findings in files marked -diff, while preserving unchanged-line and pure-deletion filtering. The implementation meets the diff behavior: it uses --text --no-ext-diff --no-textconv, keeps all findings when no hunk is available, and retains hunk line filtering. The new tests cover the filter with synthetic ESLint messages and cover an unchanged line in the -diff file. However, the issue also requires regression coverage for the wrapper exit status and the raw ESLint finding with and without -diff. The changed test file invokes only filter-changed-line-findings.mjs with synthetic JSON. It does not invoke security-lint-changed.sh or ESLint.

Resolution

Add a regression test that runs security-lint-changed.sh for the fixture with and without the .gitattributes -diff entry, verifies the raw ESLint report contains the finding, and verifies the wrapper exits 1 in both cases. Keep assertions for unchanged lines and pure deletions.

Add a wrapper-level regression test

The new tests execute filter-changed-line-findings.mjs directly with synthetic JSON. They do not execute security-lint-changed.sh, which is the production wrapper that runs ESLint, captures its raw report, and returns the changed-line verdict. Therefore, a regression in ESLint report handling or wrapper exit-status propagation can pass undetected.

Add an integration test that invokes security-lint-changed.sh with the fixture’s NUL-separated file list for both src/a.ts and src/attr.ts, then asserts the wrapper exits 1 for the raw ESLint finding. Keep the existing inner-filter tests for line-scoping behavior.
