[zerx-lab]

🎯 Overview

This PR completes the migration of all shell scripts to Node.js, providing native Windows support and resolving critical security issues.

📊 Summary

• ✅ 9/9 scripts migrated to Node.js (100% complete)
• ✅ 3 CRITICAL security issues fixed
• ✅ 4 MEDIUM code quality issues resolved
• ✅ All tests passing (9/9)
• ✅ Cross-platform verified on Windows 11

🚀 Major Changes

1. Shell Scripts Migration (100% Complete)

Category	Scripts	Status
Setup	setup.js, setup-achievements.js	✅
Tools	generate-index.js, analyze-skills.js, validate-skills.js	✅
Complex	quality-check.js, extract-rust-docs.js	✅
Runtime	achievement-tracker.js, test-triggers.js	✅

2. Security Improvements (CRITICAL) 🔒

Fixed Command Injection Vulnerabilities

• test-triggers.js: Changed from exec() with string interpolation to spawn() with argument array
• extract-rust-docs.js: Changed tree command from execSync to execFileSync with args

Fixed Path Traversal Risk

• extract-rust-docs.js: Added validateProjectPath() function to validate Cargo.toml exists

Fixed Windows Compatibility

• achievement-tracker.js: Added fallback for EXDEV errors in atomic file writes

3. Code Quality Improvements

• DRY Principle: Extracted duplicate parseFrontmatter() function to shared module (scripts/utils/frontmatter.js)
• Error Handling: Added try-catch for JSON parsing in quality-check.js
• Robustness: Fixed undefined stdout handling in verify-migration.js
• CRLF Handling: Normalized line endings for cross-platform compatibility

4. Testing & Verification

Created comprehensive test suite:

npm run verify-migration  # 9/9 tests passing
