Code Review
This is a massive and impressive modernization of the project. Migrating from Python 2.7 to 3.12, adding a comprehensive test suite, CI/CD, modern tooling, security hardening, and documentation is a huge undertaking. The code is much cleaner, more robust, and more secure. I've found a few critical issues in the new configuration files that need to be addressed, mainly related to the deployment and development setup. I've also left some suggestions for further security hardening. Overall, fantastic work.

The rev specified for pre-commit-hooks is v5.0.0, which does not seem to be a valid tag or version in the repository. This will cause pre-commit install to fail. The latest version appears to be v4.6.0.
This issue also applies to all other hooks defined in this file. For example, black 24.10.0 and flake8 7.1.1 are also not valid versions. Please verify and correct all rev values to ensure the pre-commit hooks can be installed and run correctly.

Setting --timeout 0 for gunicorn disables the worker timeout. This is a significant reliability and security risk. A malicious or buggy request could cause a worker to hang indefinitely, leading to resource exhaustion and a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. It's highly recommended to remove this setting to use gunicorn's default timeout of 30 seconds, or set it to a reasonable value (e.g., 120).

The Content-Security-Policy (CSP) includes 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval', which can expose the application to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. While these might be necessary for some of the interactive UI components, they significantly reduce the security benefits of CSP.
Consider refactoring the frontend code to avoid inline scripts and eval()-like functions. If that's not feasible, a stricter policy using nonces or hashes for scripts would be a safer alternative.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The bandit configuration globally skips the B101:assert_used check. assert statements are removed when Python is run in optimized mode (with the -O flag), which is common in production. Therefore, they should not be used for data validation or security checks in application code. While the tests directory is excluded from bandit scans, globally disabling this check is risky. It's better to remove this global skip and use # nosec B101 on a case-by-case basis for any asserts that are deemed safe.

…ity) This commit addresses all security vulnerabilities and code quality issues identified by GitHub CodeQL security scanning. 🔒 HIGH SEVERITY FIXES (3): 1. **ReDoS Vulnerability** (api/clean_skill.py:23) - Changed regex pattern from `\(.*\)` to `\([^)]*\)` - Prevents catastrophic backtracking with malicious input - The greedy `.*` pattern could cause exponential time complexity - Now uses character class `[^)]*` which is linear time 2. **Log Injection** (main.py:161, 202) - Added `sanitize_for_log()` function to prevent log injection attacks - Removes newlines, carriage returns, and control characters - Limits log length to 100 chars to prevent log flooding - Applied to all user input logging (skill queries, results) 3. **Information Exposure** (main.py:84) - Fixed `get_file()` to not expose IOError details to users - Now returns generic error message instead of exception string - Logs full error details server-side for debugging - Prevents exposure of internal file paths and system information⚠️ MEDIUM SEVERITY FIX (1): 4. **Exception Information Exposure** (main.py:97) - Changed from returning `str(exc)` to generic error message - Protects against information leakage through error messages 📝 CODE QUALITY FIXES (5): 5. **Implicit String Concatenation** (api/clean_skill.py:128) - Fixed missing comma in skill_stopwords list - Changed `"design" "developer"` to separate items - Prevents accidental string concatenation bug 6. **Bare Exception Handlers** (api/clean_skill.py:146, 151) - Replaced bare `except:` with specific exceptions - Now catches `(IndexError, AttributeError)` explicitly - Follows Python best practices for exception handling 7-9. **Unused Imports** (tests/test_api_*.py) - Removed unused `pytest` import from test files - Removed unused `patch` and `Mock` from test_api_all.py - Cleaner imports, faster module loading SECURITY IMPACT: - Prevents ReDoS attacks that could cause service outage - Prevents log injection attacks that could hide malicious activity - Prevents information disclosure that could aid attackers - Improves code quality and maintainability All fixes have been tested and Black-formatted. Resolves all 9 CodeQL alerts in PR.

To fix this problem most simply and without changing existing functionality, add a comment to the empty except block explaining why ignoring these exceptions is intentional. This signals to other developers and automated tools that the silent catch is deliberate and not an oversight. Do this for both the / and ; split try-except blocks.
The comment should indicate that if splitting fails, it is safe to proceed (as the skill does not contain a delimiter or is empty).

To fix the problem, ensure exceptions are handled traceably. Since it appears normal for the split operation to sometimes fail (for example, when skill is not a string or does not contain the separator), instead of silently passing, we should log the exception to aid future debugging. This is best achieved using Python's built-in logging module. Add an appropriate import at the top (import logging if not present in the snippet) and replace the bare pass with a call to logging.debug (or logging.exception for a more verbose stack trace, but debug is less noisy in production). Optionally add a comment explaining why failure is not fatal. All edits are to be made in api/clean_skill.py within the shown snippet.
