fix(config): clamp module-level env casts against crash-at-import - #15711
Conversation
…15691) A module-level int(os.getenv(...)) / float(os.getenv(...)) raises ValueError at import on a malformed value, taking down whatever service imports the module rather than failing at the setting's point of use. Re-derived the population with an AST pass (43 top-level sites across 31 files matching the issue's own os.getenv-only definition; broader variants -- os.environ.get and max()/min()-wrapped casts -- are tracked separately). Converted 36 to autobot_shared.env_utils's env_int/env_float (crash-safe) or env_int_clamped/env_float_clamped (crash-safe, bounded to match a declared EnvVarSpec range= where one exists). Also converted 11 max(N, int(os.getenv(...)))-shaped sites found opportunistically while editing these files: same crash risk, already partly mitigated by a floor that only applies once the parse has already succeeded. 7 sites stay bare, recorded with a reason in the new repo_tests/env_var_bare_cast_allowlist.py: 6 are standalone operator-run Redis-DB-selector scripts where a silent clamp risks inspecting or migrating the wrong database, and 1 (the knowledge-base MCP server) is an independently packaged tool with no autobot_shared dependency to import (#15709 tracks that packaging decision). repo_tests/env_var_bare_cast_test.py adds a shrink-only guard: a new bare module-level cast outside the allowlist fails CI, and the population count is recorded so a future reader can tell draining from re-growth. The two mirrored agent files (slm/agent/agent.py, health_collector.py) and their ansible/roles/slm_agent/files copies changed identically. #15710 tracks the same sweep for the os.environ.get spelling, deliberately left out of this PR's scope.

As written it protected the population it drained while leaving the sites it fixed free to come back. max/min/abs/round do not change when the cast raises: the floor applies to the parsed number, not to the parse, so the wrapped form dies at import on a malformed value just as the bare one does.

Enforce shrink-only identity, not only population size.
The ceiling permits a PR to remove one recorded cast and add a different bare cast to BARE_ENV_CASTS; all three baseline tests then pass with seven findings. Retain a fixed baseline of permitted keys, or compare against the merge-base baseline, and assert that the current keys are a subset of it.

…ion (#15691) The conversion was net-zero everywhere except here: code_sync.py sits exactly on its recorded ceiling of 6091, and the new env_utils import took it to 6092. There is nothing to merge it into and os is still used twenty times, so the import cannot be offset by dropping another. The ceiling is not raised. The comment above the self-update watch constants explained that the poll floor is 1s and why -- and min_v=1 now states the floor in the code, so the prose only has to carry the reason. Tightened from four lines to three; the busy-loop rationale is intact. A 6091-line module needing a comment trimmed to accept a one-line import is the real finding, and it belongs to the grandfathered-file decomposition work rather than to this sweep.
…e-15691-env-casts
…15691) An attribute target was detected and then DISCARDED. _assigned_names kept only ast.Name, so settings.timeout = int(os.getenv(...)) reached the classifier, matched, and yielded no key -- the guard saw the defect and accepted it. Attribute targets now report under their dotted name; subscripts and tuples, which have no stable name, report under an explicit marker rather than vanishing. A parse failure read as "no casts here" while the file still counted toward the reach floor, so an unallowlisted cast could sit behind a green sweep in a file nothing had read. Reach now counts files PARSED, and unparseable files are named by their own test instead of absorbed. Transparent wrappers scanned positional arguments only. A keyword argument is evaluated before the wrapper is called, so max(0, key=int(os.getenv(...))) raises at import exactly as a positional cast does. This was a hole in the widening added earlier in this PR. Each fix carries its contrast pair. 22 tests pass locally.

CodeRabbit pass — 4 findings: 3 applied, 1 rejected. AppliedAn attribute target was detected and then discarded. A parse failure read as "no casts here" while the file still counted toward the reach floor. So the floor could be satisfied by files nothing had read, and an unallowlisted cast could sit behind a green sweep — the floor defeated on its own terms. Reach now counts files parsed, and unparseable files are named by their own test instead of absorbed. Transparent wrappers scanned positional arguments only — and that was a hole in the widening I added earlier in this PR, so the review caught my own fix being half-done. A keyword argument is evaluated before the wrapper is called, so Each carries its contrast pair, per the repo's own rule. 22 tests pass. Rejected — already covered by the pairThe swap scenario: remove one recorded cast, add a different one, and all three baseline tests pass at seven findings. They do not. The two tests are complements and together force set equality:
A swap trips both, not neither. The finding reads the ceiling test in isolation, where it would be right — |

Preserve unique occurrence identity in the guard.
_target_key maps distinct targets to the same value. For example, get_settings().timeout and get_other_settings().timeout both become timeout, while all subscript, tuple, list, and starred targets become <unnamed-target>. Measurement.keys then reduces findings to a set of path::name keys. A new cast can leave the key set unchanged, and a stale allowlist entry can remain live through another occurrence.
Use a unique full-target or occurrence key. Preserve occurrence counts when comparing the measurement with BARE_ENV_CASTS. Add a contrast fixture with two distinct non-name targets.
As per path instructions, “Census and baseline mappings here are shrink-only AND bidirectional: a new finding fails, and a STALE entry fails just as loudly.”

_TIMEOUT = float(os.getenv("SOME_VAR", "30"))at module level raisesValueErrorat IMPORT on a malformed value -- for a module a service imports at startup, that is a service that will not start, with a traceback pointing at a cast rather than at the setting.Re-derived the population myself with an AST pass rather than trusting the issue's count: module-level assignments (direct children of the module body, not inside a function or class) whose value is a bare
int(...)/float(...)call wrappingos.getenv(...)specifically, tests and.claude/excluded. That gives 43 sites across 31 files, not 47. The 4-site gap is explained by code that moved since the issue was filed (one of the three sites named inservices/slm_frontend_build.pywas already fixed) plus minor scope-boundary differences; both counts land in the same place once measured the same way.Triaged by consequence, per the issue: startup-path service modules first (a bad value there is a dead service), standalone operator-run scripts last (the operator sees the crash immediately, in their own terminal). Every site got a real decision:
autobot_shared.env_utils'senv_int/env_float(crash-safe, no clamp) where noEnvVarSpecdeclares a bound, orenv_int_clamped/env_float_clamped(crash-safe, bounded) where one does.repo_tests/env_var_bare_cast_allowlist.py):analyze_redis_db0.py,debug_redis_fields.py,redis_final_analysis.py,fix_kb_dimensions.py,fresh_kb_setup.py,migrate_codebase_to_chromadb.py). A clamped reader is the wrong fix here, not merely unapplied: silently falling back to a different logical database on a malformed value would have the script inspect or migrate the wrong data, which is worse than a crash the operator sees immediately.autobot_knowledge_mcp/server.py), which is packaged independently (its ownpyproject.toml, dependency list, and console-script entry point) and does not declareautobot_sharedas a dependency. Converting it needs a packaging decision, tracked in a new issue.While editing these files I found 11 more sites of the identical crash-at-import shape, just wrapped in an outer
max(N, int(os.getenv(...)))(already partly mitigated by a floor, but the floor only applies once the parse has already succeeded -- a malformed value still crashes beforemax()ever runs). Converted all 11 to the same clamped readers, preserving the existing floor asmin_v.What Changed

Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (1M context)
Single-issue rationale: this is a 43-site sweep plus a new shrink-only guard across 31 files; it is already at the upper end of what one honest review pass can carry. The two issues in the same scope were spun OUT of it rather than into it -- #15709 needs a packaging decision before its one site can be converted at all, and #15710 is a separate ~60-site population using os.environ.get, a different AST shape this issue's own definition never covered. Batching either would have made the diff less reviewable, not the CI cheaper.
