# BRIEFING — 2026-06-26T17:26:10Z

## Mission
Audit fixed capa_tools.py and tests to detect integrity violations or bypasses.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: forensic_auditor

- Original parent: 7276f128-dc31-45f6-aa95-9c5a0b37b541
- Target: capa_tools integrity audit

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Audit-only — do NOT modify implementation code
- Trust NOTHING — verify everything independently
- Operating in CODE_ONLY network mode (no external web access)

## Audit Scope
- **Work product**: reversecore_mcp/tools/analysis/capa_tools.py and tests/unit/tools/analysis/test_capa_tools.py
- **Profile loaded**: General Project (Integrity mode: Development)
- **Audit type**: Forensic integrity check and adversarial review

## Audit Progress
- **Phase**: reporting
- **Checks completed**:
  - Source code analysis of reversecore_mcp/tools/analysis/capa_tools.py (confirmed no hardcoding or facade implementations)
  - Source code analysis of tests/unit/tools/analysis/test_capa_tools.py (confirmed genuine mock structure conforming to R2 isolated testing requirements)
  - Behavioral verification of unit tests via pytest (12/12 passing, 100% coverage on target file)
  - Behavioral verification of full project test suite via pytest (1616 passing, 56 skipped, overall coverage 83.63%)
  - Pre-populated artifact detection (checked logs, no fabricated results found)
- **Checks remaining**:
  - Write handoff.md report
- **Findings so far**: CLEAN

## Key Decisions Made
- Confirmed that the mocks in `tests/unit/tools/analysis/test_capa_tools.py` successfully isolate CAPA module dependency while validating parser logic thoroughly.
- Verified that the production code handles actual CAPA modules gracefully and does not rely on cheat inputs/file names to return fake results.

## Attack Surface
- **Hypotheses tested**: Checked if run_capa checks for fake file name inputs (e.g. `/mock/bin`) to return fixed mocks. No such logic exists.
- **Vulnerabilities found**: None.
- **Untested angles**: Vivisect backend configuration variations, since Vivisect library is part of the mocked capa library dependency.

## Loaded Skills
- None loaded.
