Ghidra conformance corpus

These source-owned fixtures are compiled at verification time; generated binaries and Ghidra projects are never committed.

For the one-shot function bundle handoff, run npm run build:cached and then node scripts/verify-real-ghidra-function-bundle.mjs with GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR and JAVA_HOME set. The verifier compiles its own target, creates a project with a synthetic history report, and exercises complete, summary, and no-overwrite CLI delivery. It checks the target and project files for changes.

• ../c/riscv.c and riscv-probe.S produce source-owned RV32/RV64 ELF images with double-float ABI declarations and an independently known instruction. ../c/riscv-float-abi.c, riscv-probe.S and riscv-isa-probe.S produce typed and stripped RV32 ilp32 images whose calls cover every rule of the ilp32 policy; riscv-checks.mjs holds that policy's expected storage and the call-site oracle. npm run verify:ghidra:riscv exercises real CLI/MCP discovery, decompilation, argument storage, output schemas, profile and snapshot identity, admission and refusal diagnostics, immutable source bytes, and owned cleanup. It requires BYO Ghidra 12.1.4/JDK 21+ and RISC-V Clang/LLD/LLVM readelf/LLVM objdump; REA_RISCV_CLANG, REA_RISCV_LLD, REA_RISCV_READELF and REA_RISCV_OBJDUMP select existing tool commands.

• ReaDecodeProbe.java decodes source-owned instruction bytes from a language's default context and checks each mnemonic, length and optional complete operand. The ghidra-bridge-sources CI job runs it for ARM:LE:32:Cortex, ARM:LE:32:v8-m and Xtensa:LE:32:default; the bytes are never executed.

• ReaComputedCallCoverageProbe.java decodes source-owned x86-64 calls through a writable slot, a register and a direct target, injects only the slot call's recorded COMPUTED_CALL target, and reads callees through the production bridge. The recorded target stays an observed callee while callee coverage is partial and names the call site; the targetless call stays partial without that candidate limitation, and the direct call stays complete. The ghidra-bridge-sources CI job runs it; the bytes are never executed. It does not establish which references Ghidra's own analysis records for other slot shapes.

• inventory.c produces separate x86-64 debug and stripped ELF executables. It covers imports, an external puts function, linker thunks, source symbols, direct calls, a targetless callback call, two referenced strings, and a multi-block branch.

• entry-aliases.c preserves secondary imported entry labels, a bare-hex alias, and an interior label. The native CLI/MCP lane verifies entry selection, procedure search and feature tracing by the secondary name, annotation, interior-label rejection, and unchanged source bytes.

• cross-format.c is freestanding so the verifier can produce AArch64 ELF, x86-64 PE, and x86-64 Mach-O targets from the same semantics. It preserves an exported entry, direct and indirect calls, a volatile string reference, and a multi-block branch across loaders.

• relocation-symbol.c builds an x86-64 ELF with named and unnamed dynamic relocations. The cross-format verifier checks their Ghidra observations through the public CLI without executing the artifact.

• no-return.c and ReaNoReturnProbe.java inject incorrect import flags into a real ELF or Mach-O analysis database, verify caller recovery, propagated flag repair and signature preservation, and retain genuine/unknown no-return calls and independently identified entries. Run npm run build:cached, then node scripts/verify-real-ghidra-noreturn.mjs with the Ghidra/JDK environment below on Linux or macOS x64/arm64. On Linux, use a procps-compatible process table that exposes REA's current process for owned cleanup. It also checks named limitations through the real read-only TCP bridge and provider Evidence projection; default Unix-socket transport, Windows, and the reported Amethyst artifact need separate verification. Fixture target code is never executed.

• ReaDecompilerFailureProbe.java replaces the bridge decompiler after a real import of cross-format.c, so one function's decompilation fails. It checks that analyze_function still returns that function's assembly, callers, callees, references and basic blocks unchanged, marks pseudocode, native API and p-code value flow unavailable with the decompiler's reason, and that cancellation still ends the request. Run npm run build:cached, then node scripts/verify-real-ghidra-decompiler-failure.mjs on Linux or macOS x64/arm64. The lane also parses the degraded dossier with REA's Ghidra output contract and checks the healthy provider path through the real read-only TCP bridge. Decompiler failure marks only that observation as live: retain its Evidence, retry after backend recovery, and keep healthy dossier snapshot reuse. The injection does not establish which natural inputs make the decompiler fail.

• node scripts/verify-real-ghidra-decompile-timeout.mjs (after npm run build:cached, Linux or macOS x64/arm64) compiles a generated shared library whose rea_slow function has thousands of branches and analyzes it with REA_GHIDRA_DECOMPILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=1 through the real read-only TCP provider. Ghidra's own decompiler stops at the limit with no injection: analyze_function returns the listing facets with pseudocode unavailable and a live cache policy, procedure_pseudo_code fails with a message naming the setting, and the same session then decompiles rea_small. Set REA_DECOMPILE_TIMEOUT_BRANCHES to change the fixture size. The verifier budgets 1 MiB for generated C source and derives the maximum branch count from the worst-case line size before allocating the source. Larger or invalid counts are rejected before installation inspection or compilation.

scripts/verify-real-ghidra.mjs uses cc, clang, and lld-link by default; REA_CC, REA_CLANG, and REA_LLD_LINK can select alternate commands. The verifier requires the verified bring-your-own Ghidra 12.1.4 installation through GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR and validates header classification before starting the provider. Provider admission accepts newer 12.x (>=12.1) builds with an unverified-build limitation; this lane does not.

Conformance compares semantic facts: provider/profile identity, function classification, resolved call edges, typed references, strings/xrefs, and CFG topology. It only requires provider pseudocode and assembly to be non-empty, bounded, and address-bearing; it never compares their text with Hopper. The callback fixture also proves that an unresolved targetless flow is not silently promoted to a direct callee. Every target runs in a separate owned project and must leave no process, socket, project, or runtime root after close.

relative-switch-signed.S covers signed halfword offsets, the CBZ zero-entry route, and selector biases of 0, 2 and 10 in the AArch64 jump-table lane. The nonzero biases exercise overlapping and disjoint typed label/index ranges. REA retains Ghidra's typed labels when the compared selector has an earlier register definition; additional labels remain unknown until their relationship to the typed switch selector can be proved. The oracle rejects extra numeric labels and verifies each retained target against the source instruction immediate.
