Add a sandboxed find builtin for searching directory trees by name, type, size, and time predicates. Uses a recursive-descent expression parser with bounded AST (max 64 depth, 256 nodes) and explicit-stack DFS traversal (capped at 256 depth). Blocks -exec, -delete, -regex and other unsafe predicates for sandbox safety. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
P1: Fix -maxdepth/-mindepth extraction to only parse leading positions, preventing corruption of predicate arguments (e.g. find . -name -maxdepth). P2: Remove dead followLink field from evalContext, add empty-string validation for -type predicate, add test scenarios for -path, -ipath, -mmin, -mtime, -size variants, and -type empty error. P3: Document baseName forward-slash-only convention. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The field was nested under expect: where it was silently ignored by the YAML decoder. Removed since the test passes against bash anyway. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- builtins.go: Expand ReadDir comment to explain that sorted entries cause builtins (ls -R, find) to produce deterministic but different output ordering than GNU coreutils/findutils - find.go: Add NOTE explaining the ordering divergence at the walker - empty_file.yaml: Add skip_assert_against_bash (ordering divergence) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
P1: Surface -newer reference file errors — report to stderr and set exit code 1 instead of silently returning false. Cache reference file modtime to avoid redundant stat calls per entry. P1: Detect symlink loops with -L — track visited directory paths to break cycles, preventing CPU/memory DoS on attacker-controlled trees. P2: Reject malformed -type arguments — validate comma-separated format properly, rejecting leading/trailing/consecutive commas and adjacent type chars without separators (e.g. ",", "f,", ",d", "fd"). Low: Add comment explaining why errorf uses errors.New(fmt.Sprintf()) instead of fmt.Errorf (fmt.Errorf is not in the import allowlist). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add fmt.Errorf to the import allowlist (pure function, no I/O) and replace all errorf() calls with fmt.Errorf() directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cover all major code paths including symlinks (-L, loop detection, broken links), -newer, -true/-false, comma-separated -type, size units (c/w/k/M/b), exact numeric comparisons, logical operator aliases (-not/-and/-or), parser error paths, sandbox-blocked predicates, paths with spaces, pipe integration, and explicit -print. Brings total find test scenarios from 29 to 81. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix P1 bug where -newer with a nonexistent reference file would cache
a zero-time sentinel, causing subsequent entries (with fresh
evalContexts) to match against time.Time{} instead of returning false.
Replace per-evalContext newerErr flag with a shared newerErrors map
that persists across all entries in the traversal, consistent with
newerCache.
Also improve documentation:
- Clarify -maxdepth/-mindepth leading-only parse is intentional
- Document symlink loop detection path-text limitation and
maxTraversalDepth=256 safety bound
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move depth option parsing from a leading-only extraction loop into the recursive-descent expression parser itself. This allows commands like `find . -name '*.go' -maxdepth 1` to work correctly, while the parser's natural token ownership prevents the argument-stealing bug that the previous naive scan-and-extract approach suffered from. Add 9 test scenarios covering parser integration, anti-stealing, depth band selection, last-wins semantics, and edge cases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ings Path-based cycle detection missed loops that re-enter the same directory under different textual paths (e.g. dir/a/link_to_dir → dir), allowing expansion until maxTraversalDepth=256. Now track visited directories by canonical file identity (device + inode) on Unix via FileInfo.Sys(), with path-based fallback on Windows. Zero additional I/O — reuses FileInfo already in hand.

Multiple symlinks to the same target directory are now traversed correctly with -L, matching GNU find behavior. Only actual ancestor cycles (directory is its own ancestor) are flagged. - Add multiple_links_same_target.yaml scenario test Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix -mmin to use math.Ceil for minute bucketing (matches GNU find's rounding-up behavior for fractional minutes) - Emit warning when -maxdepth exceeds safety limit of 256 instead of silently truncating - Update mmin_exact test to match corrected ceiling behavior - Add math.Ceil to import allowlist Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- eval_test.go: TestEvalMminCeiling (21 cases) verifies ceiling rounding for -mmin — prevents regression to math.Floor. TestEvalMtimeFloor (10 cases) verifies floor rounding for -mtime stays correct. TestCompareSizeOverflow covers edge cases including MaxInt64. - expr_test.go: TestParseDepthRejectsSignedValues (11 cases) ensures +N/-N forms are rejected. TestParseEmptyParens, TestParseSizeEdgeCases, TestParseBlockedPredicates, TestParseExpressionLimits cover parser correctness and security invariants. - match_test.go: Enhanced TestBaseNameEdgeCases with //, ///, ./, and additional path forms. Added TestMatchClassEdgeCases for bracket expressions and TestCompareNumeric for comparison operators. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix -mmin to use raw second comparison for +N/-N, keeping ceiling bucketing for exact N only. This matches GNU find: a 30s-old file now correctly matches -mmin -1 (30 < 60) instead of failing (ceil(30/60)=1, 1 < 1 = false). - Parse all dash-prefixed tokens as expression starts (not just -<letter>), so find -1 produces "unknown predicate" like GNU find. - Add numeric_predicate.yaml scenario test and 10 new -mmin unit tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move symlink loop detection before predicate evaluation, matching GNU find behavior: loop directories are not printed/evaluated, only reported as errors and skipped - Make newer_basic scenario use stdout_contains for robustness against coarse-mtime filesystems where sequentially-created files may share timestamps Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix cycle detection fallback: try file identity per-entry instead of deciding once at startup, so FileIdentity failure falls back to path tracking rather than silently disabling cycle detection for a subtree. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Abort traversal when eager -newer validation fails (matches GNU find which treats missing -newer refs as fatal argument errors) - Use float64 comparison for -mmin +N/-N instead of truncated int64, fixing off-by-one-second boundary behavior Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- newer_missing_aborts_walk: verify -newer with missing ref and -o -true fallback produces no stdout (P1 regression) - mmin_plus_zero: verify -mmin +0 matches recently created files without int64 truncation of fractional seconds (P2 regression) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Self-Review Summary (Iteration 8) — APPROVE (0 findings)
Reviewed the complete find -exec/-execdir implementation across 6 Go source files, 30+ scenario tests, and 2 sandbox tests.
No findings. The implementation is well-structured and secure.
SPEC Coverage
| Spec | Implemented | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Implement find -exec flag |
Yes | builtins/find/eval.go, builtins/find/expr.go, builtins/find/find.go |
Both ; and + modes, -exec and -execdir |
Don't use skip_assert_against_bash when possible |
Yes | tests/scenarios/cmd/find/exec/ |
Only 3 of 30 tests skip bash assert, all for legitimate error message divergence |
Security Assessment
- ExecCommand callback (
interp/runner_exec.go:289-359): Only invokes registered builtins viabuiltins.Lookup()— no path to arbitrary command execution. - Nested exec prevention: subcall intentionally omits
ExecCommand, blocking recursivefind -exec find -exec ...patterns. - Sandbox integrity: All file access in subcall goes through
r.sandbox.*with properly resolvedresolvedDir. No directos.*calls. - Resource limits:
maxExecArgs=10000caps batch accumulation;maxExecCmdArgs=1024caps template args; AST limits (maxExprDepth=64,maxExprNodes=256) prevent parser abuse. - Batch chunking: Paths exceeding
maxExecArgsare split into multiple invocations rather than dropped. - Blocked predicates:
-delete,-ok,-okdir,-fls,-fprint*,-regex,-iregexall properly blocked.
Test Coverage: Adequate
All critical code paths covered by scenario tests validated against bash. No gaps found.

Review Summary (Iteration 9) — APPROVE
Result: APPROVE (submitted as COMMENT due to GitHub self-review restriction)
This PR implements find -exec and -execdir (both ; and + batch modes) as specified. No code changes since iteration 5. After thorough review across all dimensions, no findings.
Spec Coverage
| Spec | Implemented | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Implement find -exec flag |
Yes | builtins/find/eval.go, builtins/find/expr.go, builtins/find/find.go, interp/runner_exec.go |
Full implementation: -exec cmd {} ;, -exec cmd {} +, -execdir cmd {} ;, -execdir cmd {} + |
Don't use skip_assert_against_bash when possible |
Yes | tests/scenarios/cmd/find/exec/ |
Only 3 scenarios use it, all for legitimate error message format differences |
Security
- Sandbox integrity maintained:
-exec/-execdironly executes registered builtins viabuiltins.Lookup(), not external binaries. Sandbox file access wrappers are properly threaded throughCallContext. - Nested exec prevention:
ExecCommandis intentionally not set on subcalls, preventing unbounded recursion via nestedfind -exec find -exec. - Resource exhaustion protection:
maxExecArgs=10000limits batch accumulation with chunking;maxExecCmdArgs=1024limits template args; AST depth/node limits remain in place. - Blocked predicates:
-delete,-ok,-okdir,-fls,-fprint,-fprint0,-fprintf,-regex,-iregexremain blocked. - Allowed symbols: New imports (
io.Writer,path.Base/Clean/Dir,strings.Contains/ReplaceAll) are all pure functions with no I/O side effects.
Bash Compatibility
- Batch mode
{}expansion matches GNU find (only standalone{}expanded in+mode,strings.ReplaceAllin;mode). -execdircorrectly uses./basenameformat and runs from parent directory.- Embedded
{}in batch mode correctly rejected (matching GNU find). - 29 scenario tests cover the feature comprehensively, with only 3 using
skip_assert_against_bashfor legitimate error message divergences.
Correctness
- Batch execution properly groups by directory for
-execdir. - Exit code propagation is correct:
;mode returns false on non-zero exit (per-file, non-fatal);+mode propagates errors to global exit code. - Batch chunking via
maxExecArgscorrectly processes all files in multiple invocations rather than dropping entries.
Test Coverage: Adequate
29 scenario tests + 2 sandbox tests + comprehensive Go unit tests in expr_test.go covering parsing, edge cases, and limits.
Positive Observations
- Clean architecture:
ExecCommandcallback pattern keeps find decoupled from the interpreter while maintaining sandbox restrictions. - Good defensive coding: pre-allocation hints, context cancellation checks throughout batch execution, proper cleanup.
- Thorough documentation updates in
SHELL_FEATURES.mdand package doc comments. - Well-structured batch chunking implementation that matches GNU find behaviour.

Code Review — PR #91: find -exec/-execdir
Overview
This PR implements -exec and -execdir support for the find builtin, including both ; (per-file) and + (batch) modes. The implementation is well-structured with good security considerations (preventing nested -exec recursion, sandbox-aware subcall construction, bounded batch accumulation).
Assessment: Needs fixes (1xP1, 2xP2, 2xP3)
Spec Coverage
| Spec | Implemented | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Implement find -exec flag |
Yes | builtins/find/eval.go, expr.go, find.go, interp/runner_exec.go |
Fully implemented: ; and + modes, -exec and -execdir |
Don't use skip_assert_against_bash when possible |
Mostly | tests/scenarios/cmd/find/exec/ |
3 tests use it for legitimate error-message divergences; all functional tests use commands present in both rshell and bash |
Positive Observations
- Excellent recursion prevention: subcall intentionally omits ExecCommand to prevent nested -exec
- Bounded batch accumulation with maxExecArgs=10000 and chunked execution
- Parser limits (maxExecCmdArgs=1024) prevent pathological inputs
- All sandbox callbacks properly use resolvedDir for -execdir working directory
- Good test coverage with 30 scenario files, most validated against bash

Reject embedded '{}' before '+' in -exec templates
This + terminator check only triggers when the previous token is exactly {}, so inputs like find ... -exec echo x{} + \; are parsed as a valid ;-terminated command (x{} +) instead of being rejected. GNU find documents batch syntax as -exec COMMAND {} + (find --help) and, for this exact shape, errors with In '-exec ... {} +' the '{}' must appear by itself; accepting it here silently executes commands that GNU would fail, which can change script behavior and mask invalid expressions.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
SPEC
Implementation:
-execflagTests:
skip_assert_against_bashwhen posible. "rshell -exec only runs builtins" is not a good reason for usingskip_assert_against_bash, scenario tests can use commands that exist in both rshell and bash
