📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change enables diagnostic links in the native VM builder, returns structured errors for invalid bytecode addresses, prevents NOP-padding arithmetic overflow, and enforces configured I/O and stack limits with tests.

Changes

Diagnostic configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Enable diagnostic links `.testings/native.rs`	The `LightVM` builder now enables diagnostic links.

Bytecode validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Return structured bytecode errors `rust/src/modules/krates/validate_bytecode.rs`	Function start addresses are validated through `VMError::OutOfBounds`. Tests cover valid bytecode and invalid jumps.

Runtime security limits

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validate security limits `rust/src/modules/krates/validate_security.rs`	The NOP-padding check avoids multiplication overflow. Tests cover allowed imports, unauthorized imports, and the I/O limit.
Enforce the stack limit `rust/src/vm/execute.rs`	Execution returns `VMError::StackOverflow` when stack capacity is reached. A test covers pushing beyond the configured limit.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 690a1

Programs using zero-arity collection constructors can exceed the configured stack limit. Add these instructions to the guard before merging.

@coderabbitai Please boost security on the Krates module and add some new security features so the VM is more ready for production

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

Inspect the Krates module and its integration points.
Define enforceable security controls that preserve the current VM contract.
Add focused tests for accepted and rejected Krates operations.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add zero-arity collection constructors to the stack-limit guard. With max_stack_size == 1, one value can remain on the stack before MakeObj(0) or MakeArray(0). Both constructors pass validation and push another value, increasing the stack length to two. The max_alloc limit does not prevent this case. Add both variants and limit-one tests.
