Reusable Patterns Catalog

1. Security Utility Pattern

Problem: Need to redact sensitive data in logs without false positives
Solution: - Production environment detection - Whitelist mechanism for known-safe patterns - Pattern specificity ordering (specific → generic) - Automatic safety overrides

Code Location: src/codex/security_utils.py

2. Subprocess Security Pattern

Problem: Command injection vulnerabilities in subprocess calls
Solution: - Always use shell=False - Use list-form arguments - Validate and sanitize paths - Avoid string concatenation for commands

Code Locations: - scripts/test_qa_walkthrough_simulation.py - scripts/validate_qa_walkthrough_agent.py

3. Test Assertion Pattern

Problem: Tests fail when implementation changes
Solution: - Keep test expectations synchronized with implementation - Document expected behavior in both code and tests - Use constants for expected values when possible - Regular test maintenance

Code Locations: - tests/test_security_utils.py - tests/security/test_security_utils.py

4. CI Disk Management Pattern

Problem: CI workflows fail due to disk space exhaustion
Solution: - Pre-emptive cleanup before heavy operations - Remove known large directories (dotnet, ghc, boost) - Clean Docker images - Report disk usage before/after

Code Location: .github/workflows/rust_swarm_ci.yml

5. Agent Development Pattern

Problem: Need production-ready custom GitHub Copilot agents
Solution: - Clear agent definition (.agent.yml) - Comprehensive documentation (README, examples) - Multi-trigger support (AI, human, PR, comments) - Validation and simulation scripts

Code Location: .github/agents/codebase-qa-walkthrough-agent/
