Allow the composed one-shot dispatch workflow to open a covered Mach-O
without selecting a deep provider. The registry still owns selector
precedence; explicit request/environment choices remain binding, while
non-Mach-O and unsupported hosts retain deep symbol fallback. Requested
snapshots keep ordinary binding and profile semantics.
Share runtime composition and target admission with the native byte reader.
Keep target parsing, resource ownership and Evidence on the original session.
Validation: 13 focused files, 192 passed and 2 skipped; npm run check passed.
The six previously blocked native property CLI controls now pass. Ten measured
CLI workflows preserved exact metadata facts; warm raw reply token medians
1344/927, elapsed .475/.547s, CPU .691/.745s, sampled family RSS351.2/359.3MiB
baseline/candidate. Baseline used explicit Ghidra workaround; true cold and
full-agent costs unmeasured. No speed/memory improvement or Windows claim.
Refs #4555
Compose native utility sessions for the five existing static CLI questions.
Keep ordinary session routing for native runtime observations, and retain
caller-selected environments, target admission, Evidence and cleanup.
Validation: 17 focused files, 97 passed and 2 skipped; npm run check passed.
The three thin Mach-O CLI regressions now pass with macOS native utilities.
No Windows runtime verification or performance measurements performed.
Refs #4555
Static .app decoding failed under auto selection when multiple deep engines were installed. Compose the existing artifact provider without native candidates and reuse the shared one-shot target, Evidence and cleanup lifecycle. Preserve the selected provider environment.
Validation: real NIB filesystem and built CLI cases, artifact direct workflow and direct-analysis lifecycle tests pass (57 tests with MCP controls).
* feat(native): search analyzed memory for masked byte patterns
The diff adds search_bytes to the CLI, the shared MCP contract, Ghidra
inventory, and the headless bridge, and advertises the same operation on
Hopper as unavailable until that provider is verified. Patterns are
hexadecimal byte pairs with optional ?? wildcards and an optional
equal-length bit mask; the TypeScript boundary and the bridge both
require a nonempty pattern, equal lengths, and at least one constrained
bit. Ghidra walks initialized blocks in address order within inclusive
bounds, keeps overlapping matches inside a single block, and returns
each hit with its segment, unique source file offset, and containing
procedure, continuing through a cursor bound to the target, profile,
pattern, mask, and bounds. Each page reports the inclusive ranges
examined and the skipped uninitialized blocks; cancellation returns a
typed error and discards the active Ghidra database.
address_to_file_offset now uses the same unique-offset helper, which
rejects a mapping that is missing, ambiguous, or larger than a safe
integer.
* fix(native): limit unbounded byte search to loaded memory
Without start or end, search_bytes walked every Ghidra block, including
non-loaded file parts such as .symtab and overlay blocks, which the docs
call out of scope. Unbounded searches now skip those blocks and list them
in searched.skipped_not_loaded; explicit bounds in their address space
still search them. Document that a match must end at or before end.
* fix(native): preserve implicit address spaces in range consumers
* fix(native): reject present malformed byte search state

Deliver complete Evidence directly through MCP with required nullable analysis profiles and immutable per-server delivery settings. Bind selected environments at construction and require typed cleanup outcomes with retained retry ownership.
Remove test-only routing, duplicate session and snapshot metadata, producer-field repairs, and ambiguous provider arguments. Separate artifact byte identity from occurrence classification and retain typed source-map and partial native facts across CLI, MCP, and verifier consumers.
BREAKING CHANGE: obsolete Evidence envelopes, session aliases, incomplete snapshots, and missing normalized producer facts are no longer accepted.
