# BRIEFING — 2026-06-27T12:27:00+09:00

## Mission
Analyze test coverage gaps for `reversecore_mcp/tools/malware/dormant_detector.py` and recommend a testing strategy.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: explorer
- Roles: Read-only investigation: analyze problems, synthesize findings, produce structured reports.
- Working directory: /Users/sjkim1127/Reversecore_MCP/.agents/explorer_m7_2_2/
- Original parent: 13d87357-cec0-4f29-9fd1-e0754da4e380
- Milestone: Test coverage gap analysis for dormant_detector.py

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Read-only investigation — do NOT implement
- Analyze dormant_detector.py and its existing test files.
- Identify all lines/branches not covered by tests.
- Recommend a precise testing strategy to achieve near 100% coverage.
- Write analysis report to `/Users/sjkim1127/Reversecore_MCP/.agents/explorer_m7_2_2/analysis.md`.

## Investigation State
- **Explored paths**:
  - `reversecore_mcp/tools/malware/dormant_detector.py`
  - `tests/unit/tools/malware/test_dormant_detector.py`
  - `tests/unit/tools/malware/test_dormant_detector_standalone.py`
- **Key findings**:
  - Initial test coverage is 77% (84 statements missed).
  - Main gaps are in LIEF worker process paths, radare2 caching, heuristic logic (Time/Env checks), and ESIL/batch exception handling.
  - Discovered a silent misalignment bug in `_identify_conditional_paths` when functions in a batch are missing offsets.
- **Unexplored areas**: None (analysis is complete).

## Key Decisions Made
- Performed static analysis mapping each missed line in `dormant_detector.py` to its corresponding control flow logic.
- Documented 24 concrete recommended test cases to reach 100% coverage.
