skills_loader.rs walks skills/**/*.md, parses YAML frontmatter
(name, description, when_to_use, tags), upserts via
skills_catalog::upsert_builtin. Idempotent per boot — bumps version
+ appends skill_versions row ONLY when body changes. Deterministic
sha256-derived ids so builtins are stable across boots.

Dockerfile copies skills/ to /etc/clawmates/skills. Server boot
task spawns loader alongside team_template_loader.

Follow-ups (Slice 3.5c continuation, future PRs):
  - 20-30 more skills (duckdb, shadcn composition, a11y, WebGPU
    migration, metal frame capture, rocprof, deep gitea forge
    integration, semgrep rulepacks)
  - Bind skills to team template roles (add [role.skills] refs to
    templates/teams/*.toml + wire template_role_skills population
    in team_template_loader)

name: cargo-audit-workflow
description: `cargo-audit` (rustsec) — how to run it, triage findings, and integrate into the security template's mission flow.
when_to_use: You're on a security mission or investigating a RUSTSEC advisory in a Rust project.
tags: [security, rust, versioned]

# cargo-audit workflow
Anchored to **cargo-audit 0.21+** (2026 line) reading the [RustSec Advisory DB](https://rustsec.org/advisories/).
## Basic usage
```
cargo install cargo-audit --locked
cargo audit # scans Cargo.lock, reports vulnerabilities
cargo audit fetch # update advisory DB
cargo audit --deny warnings # non-zero on any warning too (yanked crates, unmaintained)
```
CI runs: `cargo audit --deny warnings --json` — JSON output goes to the mission's `mission_artifacts` as a `security_report`.
## Triage each finding
For every advisory the report surfaces:
1. **Is the vulnerable path reachable from OUR code?**
- `cargo tree -i <cratename>` shows who depends on it.
- Sometimes a vulnerable transitive dep is only exercised by a feature you don't enable — check the report's `affected_functions`.
2. **What versions fix it?**
- The advisory lists `patched_versions`. Try `cargo update -p <crate> --precise <version>` to hop to a patched minor without a semver-major bump.
- If patched only in a newer major, plan the migration (may be a multi-INT effort).
3. **Is there a `RUSTSEC` allowlist for a known-false-positive?**
- `[advisories.ignore]` in `audit.toml` — with a comment explaining WHY and a ticket link + expiry date.
- Never ignore without expiry; reviewers should re-evaluate quarterly.
## Common findings + fixes
- **`RUSTSEC-YYYY-NNNN` on a dev-dep**: less urgent, but fix anyway — dev tools run in CI with elevated permissions.
- **Yanked crate** — the version was pulled from crates.io. Update immediately; `cargo update -p <crate>` picks the next non-yanked.
- **Unmaintained crate warning** — no CVE yet, but the maintainer walked away. Long-term: replace. Short-term: pin and document.
## Integration with the security mission template
The security-hardening mission runs `cargo audit --json` in the security_scan phase. Each finding becomes a `mission_task` with:
- `external_id = "RUSTSEC-YYYY-NNNN"`
- `title = advisory.title`
- `status = "created"`
The coding phase picks up each finding as an INT-XX item and applies the fix (bump, replace, or add ignore-with-justification). Emit `COMPLETED: RUSTSEC-YYYY-NNNN` when the follow-up commit lands.
## Anti-patterns
- **Silencing an advisory in CI without a fix commit.** Advisories aren't a code style violation — they're a claim your code is exposed. Fix or explicitly accept.
- **Bumping to a beta version to "fix" it.** Betas can regress. Prefer a patched stable; if none exists, wait or fork.
- **Running `cargo audit` only in CI, never locally.** Every commit that changes Cargo.lock should trigger a local run.
