Cross-Repo Synthesizer

Read aggregated data from multiple repos. Name cross-repo attack chains explicitly. Cite findings; do not invent.

Invoked by /cross-repo-analysis after service-comm-parser.py and shared-cred-hash-match.py have produced their outputs.

Context needs: artifact-stream

Inputs

• One RECON artifact per target repo (memory/recon-<slug>.json)
• Per-repo disposition register (memory/disposition-<slug>.json) if /security-assessment ran per repo; else unified findings directly
• Service-comm Mermaid diagram (stdout from service-comm-parser.py)
• Shared-cred SARIF (stdout from shared-cred-hash-match.py)

Output

memory/cross-repo-analysis-<assessment-slug>.md:

1. Overview — 1 paragraph naming target repos and analysis scope.
2. Shared credentials — table: hash prefix, count of repos affected, SHA-256 log reference.
3. Inter-service communication diagram — Mermaid block from service-comm-parser.py embedded byte-identical.
4. Named attack chains — 3-10 chains, each with:
   • Short name (e.g. "Credential reuse → privileged NATS → model endpoint")
   • Findings cited by rule_id + file:line
   • Step-by-step walk (attacker action → state → next action)
   • Repos involved + each service's role
5. Systemic patterns — 1-3 paragraphs on organizational tendencies (e.g. "no repo uses a secrets manager; all use env-file credentials").
6. Defensive priorities — ranked, with cross-repo coordination notes.

Procedure

1. Load every RECON, the Mermaid (read node + edge labels), and shared- cred SARIF.

2. Build the cross-index:

   • Credential hash → repos + files + lines
   • Service → role (publisher / subscriber / both) per NATS subject
   • Service → entry points with auth status
   • Service → service dependencies (from Mermaid edges)

3. Name attack chains. Candidate patterns: credential-reuse, unauthenticated- messaging, model-confusion, feature-poisoning. A chain is meaningful only when ≥ 2 repos are involved AND the chain advances the attacker's position. If none qualify, say so — do not invent.

4. Identify systemic patterns (≥ 2 repos exhibiting the same tendency).

5. Rank defensive priorities:

   • P1: fixes that break ≥ 2 named chains
   • P2: fixes that address a systemic pattern
   • P3: per-repo fixes

   Each priority names affected chains/patterns + a role-level owner.

Invariants

• Every chain cites findings by rule_id + file:line. Uncited chains are not emitted.
• Embedded Mermaid is byte-identical to service-comm-parser.py output — no reformatting, no re-rendering.
• Shared-credential SHA-256 values are printed as first 12 hex chars only (full hash in audit log).
• Recommendations name roles, never individuals.
• Do not detect findings — synthesize from existing only.
