From ce37187fdc256ca2dd6bd039a0a4c0655a29aa31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hisku Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 14:03:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(ENG-2966): stackone-defender - fall back to Tier 1 and warn when the classifier can't load When the Tier 2 model or ONNX runtime failed to load, @stackone/defender allowed every result and only warned on the console, which the daemon's ignored stdio dropped. With Tier 1 off in the shipped config the plugin scanned nothing while its log read the same as a healthy install. - The daemon checks isTier2Ready() after warmup. If the classifier is not ready it rebuilds the defense with Tier 1 on and every field scanned (Tier 1 only reads named "risky" fields, and plain tool output is wrapped as { output }). - tier2Ready is logged, written to the state file, shown by --status, and sent with each scan result. - The hook tells Claude once per session that Defender is degraded and how to check, alongside any HIGH RISK note. - README: replace the nonexistent "MLP head" fallback with the real behaviour. - Pin transformers, fasttext.wasm and onnxruntime-node exactly to the versions the lockfile already resolves. Verification: node --test 18/18; end-to-end hook runs with a missing model (notice once, injection flagged, benign silent) and with the real model (no notice, Tier 2 flags the injection).
