PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
🟢
No security concerns identified No security vulnerabilities detected by AI analysis. Human verification advised for critical code.
Ticket Compliance
🎫 No ticket provided
  • Create ticket/issue
Codebase Duplication Compliance
Codebase context is not defined

Follow the guide to enable codebase context checks.

Custom Compliance
🟢
Generic: Meaningful Naming and Self-Documenting Code

Objective: Ensure all identifiers clearly express their purpose and intent, making code
self-documenting

Status: Passed

Generic: Secure Error Handling

Objective: To prevent the leakage of sensitive system information through error messages while
providing sufficient detail for internal debugging.

Status: Passed

Generic: Secure Logging Practices

Objective: To ensure logs are useful for debugging and auditing without exposing sensitive
information like PII, PHI, or cardholder data.

Status: Passed

Generic: Security-First Input Validation and Data Handling

Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent
vulnerabilities

Status: Passed

Generic: Comprehensive Audit Trails

Objective: To create a detailed and reliable record of critical system actions for security analysis
and compliance.

Status:
Missing audit logs: The change introduces a permission-sensitive filesystem readability check without adding
any logging for success/failure, which may hinder auditability of critical actions.

Referred Code
if fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path) {
    return true
} else {
    return false

Generic: Robust Error Handling and Edge Case Management

Objective: Ensure comprehensive error handling that provides meaningful context and graceful
degradation

Status:
No error context: The new readability check returns false without capturing or surfacing context (e.g., why
the path is unreadable), which may complicate debugging edge cases.

Referred Code
if fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path) {
    return true
} else {
    return false
}

Possible issue
Restore check for directory type

Restore the check to ensure the container path is a directory, as removing it
could cause runtime errors if other code assumes the path is a directory.

PVLibrary/Sources/PVLibrary/Database/Realm Database/RomDatabase.swift [45-49]

-if fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path) {
-    return true
-} else {
-    return false
+var isDirectory: ObjCBool = false
+if fm.fileExists(atPath: path, isDirectory: &isDirectory), isDirectory.boolValue {
+    return fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path)
 }
+return false
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a potential regression where a crucial check for a directory was removed, which could lead to runtime errors if the path is a file instead of the expected directory.

High
General
Simplify boolean return statement

Simplify the if-else block by directly returning the result of the boolean
expression fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path).

PVLibrary/Sources/PVLibrary/Database/Realm Database/RomDatabase.swift [45-49]

-if fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path) {
-    return true
-} else {
-    return false
-}
+return fm.isReadableFile(atPath: path)
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a verbose if/else statement that can be simplified, which improves code conciseness and readability.
