From 9680c284ff5361dbb7f23b23495cefdb3fbfd044 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anthony Rocha Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 15:46:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat: Add comprehensive Copilot coding guidelines and code review - Add detailed Copilot instructions with safety-first coding patterns - Define test code exceptions for ergonomic development while maintaining safety - Establish type-safe hardware register access requirements - Add comprehensive code review checklist and forbidden patterns reference - Create initial code review identifying 50+ violations in existing codebase Key guidelines: * Panic-free production code (no unwrap/expect/indexing) * Type-safe PAC-based hardware register access only * Named constants instead of magic numbers * Test code may use unwrap/indexing for ergonomics but not bypass hardware safety * Security-focused patterns for cryptographic operations The code review identifies critical violations in ECDSA/RSA modules using direct register access and systematic unsafe patterns throughout the codebase requiring immediate refactoring. --- .github/workflows/copilot-instructions.md | 566 ++++++++++++++++++++++ code-review.md | 359 ++++++++++++++ src/lib.rs | 3 + src/tests/mod.rs | 3 + 4 files changed, 931 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .github/workflows/copilot-instructions.md create mode 100644 code-review.md diff --git a/.github/workflows/copilot-instructions.md b/.github/workflows/copilot-instructions.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8edbe5e --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/copilot-instructions.md @@ -0,0 +1,566 @@ + +## Copilot Code Generation Guidelines + + + + +When generating code, always prioritize these patterns: + + +### no_std and Memory Allocation Guidelines + +- This project is strictly **no_std** and **no_alloc** in production code +- All production paths must be allocation-free and compatible with bare-metal targets + +#### Production Code Requirements + +- **NEVER** use crates or features that require heap allocation in production code +- **DO NOT** use the `heapless` crate in production paths despite its name suggesting compatibility +- **DO NOT** use any crate that depends on the `alloc` crate without feature gating +- **ALWAYS** use fixed-size arrays, slices, or static memory allocation +- **ALWAYS** design APIs to accept and return memory provided by the caller + +#### Memory Management in Production Code + +- Buffers must be pre-allocated by the caller and passed as slices +- Collection types must have fixed, compile-time sizes +- All data structures must have predictable, static memory footprints +- No dynamic memory growth patterns are allowed + +#### Test Code Exceptions + +- Test code (annotated with `#[cfg(test)]`) may use allocation if needed +- The `heapless` crate and other no_std compatible collections are permitted in tests +- Standard library features may be used in tests when the `std` feature is enabled +- Test helpers can use more ergonomic APIs that wouldn't be appropriate for production + +#### Example: Production vs. Test Code + +```rust +// Production code - strict no_alloc approach +pub fn process_data(data: &[u8], output: &mut [u8]) -> Result { + if output.len() < data.len() * 2 { + return Err(Error::BufferTooSmall);
