Main's CI is red since ee35d23: its added comment mentions backend.generate(), and the watermark coverage guard (tests/test_watermark_route_coverage.py) greps raw source — so worker/transport/server.py became a "producer that never marks" without synthesizing anything.

Fix (class, not instance): blank COMMENT/STRING token spans (via tokenize, layout preserved; unparseable source falls back to a raw scan so the guard stays fail-closed) before matching _SYNTH_CALL, and apply the same rule to the allowlist staleness check. A new self-test pins the regression: prose mentions in comments/strings/docstrings never make a module a producer; a real call still does.

Fail-before/pass-after: the guard fails on current main, passes with this change; all 16 tests in the module green.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The coverage test now scans code-only content, with version-aware f-string handling, to prevent comments, strings, and docstrings from falsely identifying producers. It applies the same filtering to mark_synthetic checks and allowlist validation, while retaining a raw-scan fallback for unparseable source. The main risk is tokenization behavior for malformed or version-specific source.

ee35d23 broke main's CI by adding a comment that *mentions*
backend.generate() to worker/transport/server.py — the watermark coverage
guard greps raw source, so the comment made the module a 'producer' that
never marks. Blank COMMENT/STRING token spans before matching (layout
preserved, unparseable files fall back to a raw scan) and apply the same
rule to the allowlist staleness check; a new self-test pins the class.

Greptile Summary

The PR updates the watermark coverage guard to scan executable Python tokens rather than comments and string literals while preserving synthesis calls inside f-string replacement expressions.

  • Adds token-aware source filtering with fail-closed fallback for unparseable files.
  • Applies filtered scanning to producer, watermark-marker, and allowlist checks.
  • Adds regression coverage for prose references and f-string synthesis calls.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
tests/test_watermark_route_coverage.py The token-aware scanner addresses the previously reported f-string bypass without leaving a concrete related failure.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The watermark route coverage scanner now ignores synthesis primitive names in comments and string literals. It preserves raw-source fallback when tokenization fails and applies filtered source checks to producer detection and allowlist validation.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ecab

This localized test-guard change makes watermark producer detection ignore comments and strings while preserving real-call matching; it does not change production runtime behavior, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Greptile P1 + CodeRabbit on #1564: on Python <=3.11 an entire f-string is
one STRING token, so blanking it would let a synthesis call inside a
replacement field evade the producer scan — f-prefixed strings now stay
raw there (fail closed), while 3.12+ blanks only literal FSTRING_MIDDLE
text. The 'module references mark_synthetic' certification is now also
code-only, so a comment can't satisfy it. Self-test extended with both.

Both findings addressed in 7ecabba:

  • Greptile P1 (f-string evasion): confirmed — on ≤3.11 the whole f-string is one STRING token. f-prefixed strings are now kept raw there (conservative: literal f-string prose false-positives toward the allowlist, fail closed), and on 3.12+ only literal FSTRING_MIDDLE text is blanked so replacement-field code stays scannable. Self-test now asserts f"{backend.generate(...)}" is caught.
  • CodeRabbit (prose could certify a module): the mark_synthetic-reference check is now code-only too — a comment can't satisfy the guard. Also self-tested.
