fix: bound weight distribution tensor extraction

[mldangelo-oai]

Summary

• enforce independent per-tensor and cumulative extraction budgets before materializing PyTorch, HDF5, TensorFlow, and ONNX weights
• synchronize with the explicit torch.load opt-in policy and retain bounded primitive ZIP fallback analysis
• accept exactly one credible PyTorch serialization root and fail closed when multiple roots could hide the real pickle behind a decoy
• reject ambiguous members and bound pickle reads, graph growth, memo use, and storage expansion
• deduplicate shared tensor/storage aliases while preserving valid benign matrices
• fail closed to secure defaults for invalid byte-limit configuration while preserving explicit 0 as unlimited
• preserve benign internal HDF5 links and keep incomplete diagnostics accurate

Review fixes

• skip rank-1 TensorFlow checkpoint variables before applying extraction budgets or loading them
• ignore HDF5 external links only when neither the local link path nor target path is weight-like
• retain fail-closed handling for external weight tensors and weight groups
• preserve the legacy max_array_size=0 unlimited behavior by defaulting the new aggregate budget to unlimited, while honoring an explicitly configured aggregate cap
• replace the storage introspection suppression block with a single-assignment fallback
• reject multiple credible PyTorch pickle roots instead of selecting a shallow decoy
• synchronize with current main

Validation

• complete associated weight-distribution module: 87 passed, 1 skipped (TensorFlow unavailable)
• focused new false-positive, fail-closed, and compatibility regressions: 12 passed
• scoped Ruff check/format, mypy, and git diff --check: clean
• full suite intentionally left to CI per review workflow

Published state

• current main: ff9e1aef042e847ed20a5dbd14c96a8550e3b467

@codex Please apply the validated local integration from commit 5ca0c9c8 onto the current PR head 2dfd9d0ff4862206399b9c8c65310c1b26e13cba and merge current main. The local Git credential cannot publish the commit.

Required corrections:

1. Select one PyTorch ZIP serialization root for preflight and fallback. Prefer credible root markers, then the shallowest data.pkl; count only that root's exact data/<storage> members. Fail closed on equally plausible roots or duplicate selected data.pkl members. Ignore nested decoy extras/data.pkl and extras/data/* members.
2. Account CPU PyTorch aliases by unique untyped_storage() identity, but count every non-CPU tensor's host materialization independently. Keep the logical per-tensor size check and reject a CPU view before NumPy conversion when its retained backing storage exceeds max_array_size (pytorch_tensor_storage_size_limit).
3. Skip definitely rank < 2 weights before materialization in primary PyTorch, primitive ZIP fallback, HDF5, TensorFlow checkpoints, TensorFlow Const, and ONNX paths where shape metadata is available.
4. Preserve current-main's literal enable_unsafe_torch_load is True requirement and bounded restricted-pickle graph/memo checks. Do not restore version-gated automatic torch.load.
5. Catch malformed pickletools.genops() streams during ZIP preflight, record pytorch_pickle_parse_failed, and return inconclusive before torch.load; otherwise explicit unsafe opt-in can turn malformed metadata into a clean zero-layer result.

Focused regressions include nested ZIP decoys/ambiguity, CPU and non-CPU shared storage, oversized backing storage before NumPy, malformed pickle before load, rank-1 budget preservation, bounded pickle reads/graphs, and per-format size preflights.

Validated on the current-main integration:

• PROMPTFOO_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 ./.venv/bin/pytest -q tests/scanners/test_weight_distribution_scanner.py --maxfail=1 -> 83 passed, 1 skipped
• touched-file Ruff check and format check: clean
• touched-file mypy: clean
• git diff --check: clean

There are currently no review threads. Do not merge the published head until these corrections are present.

Validated corrective repair is committed locally as 4ee46a27 on mdangelo/codex/pr-1581-final, but HTTPS push is blocked by the repository credential (Invalid username or token).

The repair preserves current-main's literal enable_unsafe_torch_load is True gate and restricted-pickle graph/memo checks, and adds:

• one credible PyTorch ZIP serialization root shared by preflight and fallback; root markers beat storage-only roots, shallowest wins, ties/duplicate selected data.pkl fail closed, and nested decoy extras/data.pkl / extras/data/* are ignored;
• bounded data.pkl reads using remaining budget, malformed/read-failure preflight that blocks torch.load, and direct numeric data/<storage> accounting only;
• per-tensor logical checks plus unique CPU untyped_storage() accounting, backing-storage checks before NumPy, and per-materialization accounting for non-CPU tensors;
• rank-1 early exits before materialization across PyTorch primary/fallback, HDF5, TensorFlow checkpoint/Const, and ONNX;
• adversarial false-positive/false-negative regressions for all of the above.

Validation: 88 passed, 1 skipped in tests/scanners/test_weight_distribution_scanner.py (TensorFlow integration skip), full Ruff lint/format clean, and full mypy clean across 464 files. No full pytest suite was run per campaign instructions.

@codex address that feedback by applying the equivalent of local commit 4ee46a27 to mdangelo/codex/fix-weight-distribution-load-bounds. Do not merge the currently published head until this repair is present.

Summary

• Applied the final weight-distribution repair and committed it locally as 090d874 (fix: close remaining weight distribution bounds).
• Added shared PyTorch ZIP serialization-root selection that prefers credible root markers, fails closed on ambiguous roots or duplicate selected data.pkl, and counts only direct numeric data/<storage> members for the selected root. modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL440-L491 modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL493-L548
• Preserved the literal enable_unsafe_torch_load=true opt-in gate for direct torch.load, while keeping ZIP preflight/fallback checks ahead of unsafe loading. modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL833-L847
• Added malformed pickle handling so ZIP preflight/fallback records pytorch_pickle_parse_failed instead of allowing malformed metadata to fall through to torch.load. modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL582-L605 modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL923-L936
• Added PyTorch rank-1 early exits and CPU backing-storage checks before NumPy conversion, with unique CPU storage accounting support. modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL618-L695
• Added rank-1 early exits before materialization for HDF5 and TensorFlow checkpoint/Const paths, with ONNX already skipping rank < 2 before materialization. modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1131-L1143 modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1206-L1223 modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1279-L1304 modelaudit/scanners/weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1400-L1402
• Added focused regressions for credible ZIP roots vs nested decoys, ambiguous roots, malformed pickle metadata, PyTorch rank-1 skipping, and CPU backing-storage rejection. tests/scanners/test_weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1134-L1287
• Updated PyTorch loading tests to assert the literal unsafe-load opt-in behavior rather than version-gated automatic loading. tests/scanners/test_weight_distribution_scanner.pyL1902-L2002
• Created the PR record with title fix: apply final weight distribution bounds repair.

Critical audit complete and repair published at 72175e428fd52838fdd39acf566e4aee83b41d99.

Validated fixes and edge cases:

• merged current main and preserved the newer literal-True unsafe-load opt-in
• rejected ambiguous/duplicate data.pkl roots while allowing a uniquely marked valid PyTorch root
• bounded ZIP pickle bytes, object growth, opcode/memo growth, selected storage bytes, per-tensor bytes, and cumulative retained bytes
• prevented rank-1 metadata from consuming retained tensor budget
• deduplicated primitive and torch backing-storage aliases to avoid repeated allocation/accounting
• changed invalid, negative, boolean, and non-finite tensor limits from fail-open unlimited behavior to the secure 100 MiB default
• retained benign near-match coverage for unrelated ZIP metadata, shared sequences, internal HDF5 links, nonnumeric metadata, and marked-root selection

Focused validation: 83 passed, 1 TensorFlow-dependent skip; scoped Ruff, formatting, mypy, and git diff --check are clean. No unresolved review threads were present.

Published the review follow-up as bcd6e9ffc46dc41c3a32b81d96ce1a263f5b6aa3 on current main (exact tree 6e80307ee44e07b4dea0054eb8d2e98087935919). The P1 decoy-root finding is fixed by requiring exactly one credible PyTorch serialization root; multiple credible roots now produce an explicit inconclusive result, with a regression covering root-level decoy plus nested real weights. The three code-quality findings are also addressed. Validation: full associated scanner module 84 passed, 1 expected TensorFlow skip; focused current-main root-selection slice 3 passed; scoped Ruff, format, mypy, and diff checks are clean.

Published all three fresh review fixes on current main at c10a77c969fd70d1e9a060cb82f49315c96056dd (exact tested tree 0fe94eb8f16dff5c86036db9777545cbae152e4f). Rank-1 TensorFlow variables are skipped before budgeting/loading; unrelated HDF5 external links are ignored only when both local and target paths are non-weight-like, preserving fail-closed external weight handling; and legacy max_array_size=0 now defaults the aggregate budget to unlimited while an explicit aggregate cap still wins. Complete associated module: 87 passed, 1 skipped; focused new positive/negative cases: 12 passed; scoped Ruff, mypy, format, and diff checks are clean. Fresh CI is running while the queue continues.
