Research direction

Open cant-fail-scan.test.sh and find the existing positive pins for rule-throw-only-oracle. Add an assert_not_contains so that remedy is not the weak-oracle text "Assert the value the code should produce". Update the detector-findings README adopter tally from 7 of 13 to 8 of 13. Done when that negative pin exists and the tally matches.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue needs-triage priority: low

Summary

Pin a negative assertion on the remedy text of rule-throw-only-oracle in the cannot-fail scan tests.

Context

In cant-fail-scan.test.sh the rule's remedy text has two positive pins but no negative one, unlike its peer rules. The detector-findings README adopter tally therefore reads 7 of 13.

Done when

  • cant-fail-scan.test.sh has an assert_not_contains that the throw-only remedy is not the weak-oracle remedy ("Assert the value the code should produce").
  • The detector-findings README adopter tally reads 8 of 13.
