audit-ppmplugin

/audit-ppmplugin

The verification gate. /assemble-ppmplugin proves the bundle is well-formed; this skill proves it will actually load and dispatch on the wrap runtime. Most .ppmplugin failures are silent — the bundle uploads fine, then a method returns native module 'X' not loaded, the runtime cannot instantiate the package class, or the upload is rejected with 0x80040265 (canonical-prefix violation). Those cost a full wrap-build round-trip to discover. This skill surfaces them in seconds, on disk.

It is read-only on the bundle — it unzips to a temp dir for inspection and never mutates the .ppmplugin. Fixes route back upstream (/generate-ppmplugin-manifest for manifest issues, the build skills for binary issues), then re-assemble + re-audit.

Read [shared/ppmplugin-format.md](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) §1 (layout), §3 (canonical-prefix), §4 (validator rules), §5 (Android DEX requirements) — this skill enforces all four against the built artifact.

What this skill does NOT do

• Does not build, zip, or author anything — it inspects a finished .ppmplugin. Fixes are made upstream and re-assembled.
• Does not patch the zip in place — a bundle is an immutable deliverable; mutating it would desync it from the staged sources. It points at the upstream skill instead.
• Does not upload to Dataverse / wire into a canvas app (Stage 3 — deferred). "READY TO UPLOAD"

means passes local verification, not uploaded.

Step 1 — Read shared docs + resolve the artifact + prereqs

1. Read [shared/shared-instructions.md](../../shared/shared-instructions.md) and [shared/ppmplugin-format.md](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md).
2. Resolve the bundle to audit:

• If the user passed a path, use it. If it's a directory, look for <dir>/*.ppmplugin (prompt if multiple).
• Else default to the assemble output: the single ppmplugin/<name>.ppmplugin at the repo root (the most-recently-built if several).
• If none found, STOP with NEEDS_CONTEXT: no .ppmplugin to audit — run /assemble-ppmplugin first, or pass a path.

1. Prereq block (shared-instructions §9.2). Policy: resolve, don't punt (§1.5) — locate a tool by path before failing:

| Check | Verify | If missing |

|---|---|---|

| jar (JDK) | jar --version — used to list + extract the bundle | STOP BLOCKED: jar not found — install a JDK (JDK 17) |

| DEX scanner | dexdump (preferred — locate in Android SDK build-tools/*/dexdump like /build-android-binary resolves $D8); else strings (mac/linux ships it) | If neither: the DEX string checks degrade to WARNING ("DEX scan skipped — no dexdump/strings"); structural checks (magic, size) still run. On Windows without either, note the gap. |

1. Extract the bundle to a fresh temp dir for inspection (read-only on the original):

   work=$(mktemp -d); ( cd "$work" && jar xf "<abs path to .ppmplugin>" )

   $work = New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force (Join-Path $env:TEMP "ppm-audit"); Push-Location $work; jar xf "<abs path>"; Pop-Location

Each subsequent step appends findings to a running list as [SEVERITY] <check-id>: <result>. Don't stop at the first CRITICAL — collect everything so the user fixes in one pass. Severities: CRITICAL (will fail at upload or on device — blocks), WARNING (likely-wrong, may still work), INFO (style / advisory).

---

Step 2 — Category A: Zip structure

Listing comes from jar tf "<.ppmplugin>". The bundle is native-only ([format §1](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)): manifest.json at root + only the declared android/ / ios/ slices.

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| zip-manifest-at-root | manifest.json is at the archive root | CRITICAL |

| zip-only-native-slices | top-level entries ⊆ { manifest.json, android/, ios/ } | CRITICAL |

| zip-no-ts-js-layer | NO src/, .ts, .tsx, *.js, extension.js, extension.hbc anywhere — the bundle ships no TS/JS layer | CRITICAL |

| zip-no-build-dirs | NO android-build/, ios-build/, node_modules/, dist/, build/ leaked in | CRITICAL |

| zip-no-stray-files | NO META-INF/, .DS_Store, dotfiles, nested .zip/.ppmplugin | WARNING |

| zip-reasonable-size | bundle < 50 MB (a larger one usually means React or node_modules got swept in) | WARNING |

A src/ tree, an extension.js/.hbc, or any *.ts is SDK-era / JS-layer leakage — flag CRITICAL and point at [format §6](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) (the bundle is native binaries only).

---

Step 3 — Category B: Manifest schema, validator rules + field leakage

Read the extracted manifest.json. Re-run every [ppmplugin-format §4](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) rule against the built artifact (defense in depth — the manifest may have been hand-edited after /generate-ppmplugin-manifest):

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| mf-name-shape | name matches ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$ | CRITICAL |

| mf-canonical-prefix | each receivers[].nativeModule starts with the canonical prefix of name (split on -/_, PascalCase each segment, join — [§3](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)) (Ordinal, case-sensitive) | CRITICAL |

| mf-reserved-prefix | no nativeModule starts with a reserved prefix (case-insensitive list in §4: Microsoft, MS, Intune, Wrap, Pcf, PowerApps, …) | CRITICAL |

| mf-reserved-exact-known | no nativeModule matches the locally checked incompatible-name subset (§4: DeviceInfo, AuthenticationHelper, NetworkClient, DataverseOfflineProvider, IntuneMAM). Non-exhaustive; fix = rename getName() to a non-reserved form (add Module suffix or a vendor prefix) and re-derive | CRITICAL |

| mf-nativeModule-generic-noun | nativeModule does NOT match the generic-platform-noun heuristic ^(Device\|Network\|File\|Audio\|Camera\|Sensor\|Location\|Storage\|Notification\|Bluetooth\|Wifi\|Media\|Photo\|Contact\|Calendar\|Battery) — these bare names are both denylist-prone and collision-prone in the shared NativeModules namespace. (Heuristic, not the real list — DeviceInfo returned READY locally yet was server-rejected; this would have warned.) | WARNING |

| mf-methods | every receivers[].methods is present, non-empty, ≤32, each matches ^[a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z0-9_$]{0,127}$ | CRITICAL |

| mf-receiver-name | each receivers[].name matches the JS-identifier regex | CRITICAL |

| mf-version-present | version is a non-empty string | WARNING |

| mf-no-sdk-fields | NO entrypoints.js, entrypoints.ts, extension.js, extension.hbc, extensionClassName, jsLayer fields in the manifest. Our native-only policy, NOT a server gate — the wrap injector treats entrypoints.js as optional and accepts it; we flag it so the native-only bundle stays unambiguous. WARNING, not a block. | WARNING |

Note in the report that only a known subset of incompatible exact names is checked locally

(mf-reserved-exact-known), so a clean local result does not guarantee the upload service will

accept the name.

---

Step 4 — Category C: Manifest ↔ bundle consistency

The declared entrypoints must match the binaries actually in the zip — exactly. (/assemble-ppmplugin reconciles this at build time; auditing the finished bundle catches a hand-edited manifest or a hand-zipped bundle.)

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| consistency-has-native | at least one of entrypoints.android / entrypoints.ios is declared (a manifest-only bundle has nothing to load) | CRITICAL |

| consistency-android-dex | if entrypoints.android declared → android/<entrypoints.android.dex> exists in the zip | CRITICAL |

| consistency-ios-framework | if entrypoints.ios declared → ios/<entrypoints.ios.framework>.framework/ exists in the zip (flat framework — see ios-flat-framework-not-xcframework in Category E) | CRITICAL |

| consistency-no-orphan | every android/ or ios/ slice in the zip is backed by a matching declared entrypoint (no undeclared binary the runtime won't route) | WARNING |

| consistency-packageClass-shape | entrypoints.android.packageClass is a fully-qualified Java class name (^([a-z][a-z0-9_]\.)+[A-Z][A-Za-z0-9_]$) | CRITICAL |

| dispatch-composite-key | the composite routing key <name>/<receivers[].name> is well-formed (both segments present, JS-identifier-safe suffix) — this is what a dispatcher PCF binds as ReceiverKey to reach NativeModules.<nativeModule>.<method> ([format §2](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) — Runtime dispatch contract) | WARNING |

---

Step 5 — Category D: DEX integrity + SDK-leakage byte-scan (Android)

Only if entrypoints.android is declared. The DEX is loaded via DexClassLoader ([format §5](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)); these confirm it's loadable and free of SDK-era leakage. Use dexdump -l plain <dex> if available, else strings <dex> — both expose the string/type pool the checks scan.

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| dex-magic | first bytes are dex\n03[5-9] (valid DEX) | CRITICAL |

| dex-has-packageClass | the entrypoints.android.packageClass type descriptor (Lcom/.../<Pascal>Package;) is in the DEX — otherwise runtime class loading fails | CRITICAL |

| dex-has-module-class | the module class descriptor is in the DEX | CRITICAL |

| dex-no-INativeExtension | NO INativeExtension, INativeOperation, INativeExtensionContext strings — SDK-era symbols in a native-only bundle. Cleanliness policy, not a server gate: the player ignores them (an old-pattern plugin still dispatches if its receivers[] map to real native modules), so surface it but don't block. | WARNING |

| dex-no-jslayer-loader | NO HermesBytecodeLoader, WrapPluginJsLayerLoader strings — a JS-layer loader has no place in a native-only DEX (same: flagged, not blocking). | WARNING |

| dex-no-sendAsync | NO sendAsync symbol — possible SDK transport leak | WARNING |

These SDK-leakage checks are the heart of the native-only contract: a clean compile can still pull these symbols in transitively. Scanning the built DEX is the only place they're catchable.

---

Step 6 — Category E: iOS framework structure (the wrap-CI gates)

Only if entrypoints.ios is declared. The CRITICAL set is exactly what the runtime's dlopen loading and wrap signing pipeline require. The umbrella header + module map are build hygiene only (the loader dlopens the binary; it never imports the module), so they're INFO — do not block a valid bundle on their absence.

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| ios-flat-framework-not-xcframework | the bundle ships ios/<framework>.framework/ — NOT ios/<framework>.xcframework/. If an .xcframework is present, FAIL with the wrap-CI error verbatim ("Framework '<Name>.framework' not found in plugin") and the fix: rebuild with /build-ios-binary (device slice, flat framework — drop -create-xcframework). | CRITICAL |

| ios-binary-present | ios/<framework>.framework/<framework> (the Mach-O binary, named exactly <framework>) exists — the loader dlopens Frameworks/<framework>.framework/<framework>, so a missing or differently-named binary won't load | CRITICAL |

| ios-framework-has-infoplist | ios/<framework>.framework/Info.plist exists with CFBundlePackageType=FMWK, CFBundleExecutable=<framework>, CFBundleIdentifier, CFBundleShortVersionString, MinimumOSVersion — a framework bundle with no Info.plist is invalid and the wrap codesign step rejects it | CRITICAL |

| ios-framework-has-umbrella | ios/<framework>.framework/Headers/<framework>.h umbrella header present — build hygiene only; the dlopen loader does not import the module, so its absence does NOT break loading | INFO |

| ios-framework-has-modulemap | ios/<framework>.framework/Modules/module.modulemap present — build hygiene only (same reason); not runtime-required | INFO |

| ios-moduleClass-match | entrypoints.ios.moduleClass is the documented Obj-C class (RCT<Pascal>Module) and, when source is reachable, the .h/.m class name matches it | WARNING |

| ios-moduleName-matches | when source is reachable, the .m declares + (NSString *)moduleName returning receivers[].nativeModule and does not use RCT_EXPORT_MODULE(...) (wrap plugins are registered by the runtime, not +load) | CRITICAL |

(Deep Mach-O introspection — Dynamic-vs-Static, dead-code-stripping, weak React link — is owned by /build-ios-binary at build time; here we verify the shipped framework is what the loader + wrap CI ingest.)

---

Step 7 — Category F: Source-to-receiver contract (when the repo is reachable)

These need the extension source. If the audit runs in the control repo (the bundle's source tree is present), run them; else mark each SKIPPED — source not reachable and note that the build skills already asserted them at build time.

| Check | Asserts | Severity |

|---|---|---|

| src-getName-matches | the Kotlin module's getName() literal == receivers[].nativeModule — mismatch = native module 'X' not loaded on device (compiles fine; hardest to catch) | CRITICAL |

| src-methods-annotated | every receivers[].methods[] entry has a matching @ReactMethod (Android) / RCT_EXPORT_METHOD (iOS) | CRITICAL |

| src-package-fqn-matches | the ReactPackage FQN == entrypoints.android.packageClass | CRITICAL |

| src-package-no-arg-ctor | the <Pascal>Package (Android) has a public no-arg constructor — the runtime uses getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance(); a primary-constructor parameter list (class <Pascal>Package(...)) makes the plugin silently fail to load (Loaded 0 plugin package(s)). iOS analogue: the module class instantiates via [cls new] (no custom arg-ed initializer). | CRITICAL |

| src-ios-module-no-arg-init | (iOS) the module class has no arg-ed-only initializer — the player does NSClassFromString(moduleClass) → [cls new], so a class whose only initializer takes arguments won't instantiate and is skipped at load ([§5b](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). | CRITICAL |

| src-ios-requires-main-queue | (iOS) if + (BOOL)requiresMainQueueSetup is declared, it returns NO (returning YES forces main-thread setup at launch and, with any heavy/throwing init, stalls or crashes startup — [§5b](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). | WARNING |

| src-method-single-map-param | each @ReactMethod / RCT_EXPORT_METHOD takes one ReadableMap/NSDictionary request param (then the Promise/resolver) — the wrap proxy spreads the PCF's args:[request] positionally, so a method with multiple positional params won't receive its payload (a no-arg op taking only the Promise is fine). | WARNING |

| pcf-composite-key-matches-receiver | if a sibling PCF (pcf/<…>/index.ts) declares COMPOSITE_KEY = "<name>/<receiver>" (or binds a ReceiverKey), it MUST equal <manifest.name>/<receivers[].name> — a mismatch means the PCF dispatches to a receiver the manifest never registers, failing on first call (real bug: PCF→Snapshot, manifest→DeviceInfoExtension). | WARNING |

| pcf-uses-sendasync | **if a sibling PCF (pcf/<…>/index.ts) is present, it MUST dispatch via window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync(...) and MUST NOT call cordova.exec (or any cordova.) directly. A direct cordova.exec call is the CRITICAL defect: the raw cordova global is not exposed to the PCF sandbox, so the call is a silent no-op on device (worst on Android) — it passes zip/manifest/DEX/key checks and only fails on-device. Fix: route through the host-injected sendAsync global ([format §2](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). | CRITICAL* |

| pcf-envelope-is-raw-object | if a sibling PCF is present, the sendAsync payload MUST be a raw { method, args: [...] } object — the PCF must NOT pre-JSON.stringify it (sendAsync stringifies internally). A sendAsync(key, JSON.stringify({...})) double-encodes → the proxy JSON.parse yields a string, not {method,args} → BRIDGE_FAILED. Fix: pass the object literal, not a stringified one. | CRITICAL |

| pcf-args-is-array | if a sibling PCF is present, the inner args inside the sendAsync payload is a JSON array (args: [request]), not a bare object — after parsing, the wrap proxy does Array.isArray(parsed.args) ? parsed.args : [] and drops a non-array, so the native method gets no payload ([format §2](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). | WARNING |

| pcf-has-ambient-dts | if a sibling PCF is present, it ships a local PowerAppsNativeExtension.d.ts ambient declaration (typing window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync) rather than importing a host SDK package — keeps the PCF host-agnostic. | INFO |

| src-no-ReactModule-annotation | the module has no @ReactModule annotation (incompatible with DexClassLoader — [format §5](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)) | CRITICAL |

| src-ctor-no-throwable-sideeffects | **Scope the scan to the module's construction closure, not the whole file** — the primary/secondary constructor(s), the Kotlin init{} block(s), property initializers that run at construction (private val x = …), PLUS any private function they call (follow one level of foo() / this.foo()). Within that closure, flag: (a) registerCallback(…, null) or a bare Handler() / Handler(...) with no explicit Looper; (b) any side-effecting call (register/add*Listener/observe/getSystemService+use/file or network I/O/runBlocking) not inside a try { } catch. @ReactMethod bodies are OUT of scope (they run per-call, not at construction). The module is constructed eagerly at bridge startup on a possibly Looper-less thread — an uncaught throw crashes the host at launch, before any UI ([format §5](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). Fix: defer to lazy first-call init, pass Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()), wrap unavoidable init in try/catch. iOS analogue: apply the same scan to a throwing/heavy -init (instantiated eagerly via [cls new], §5b). Heuristic — the definitive catch is /test-native-extension Layer 1's load/init readiness asserts (static) + Layer 5's runtime launch crash-scan. | WARNING |

| pcf-response-unwraps-message | if a sibling PCF is present, its sendAsync success path unwraps the wrap response container ({isUpdate, message:"<json>"}) — i.e. calls an extractResponse-style helper (parse result.data + probe message), not a bare single JSON.parse. A single-parse-only handler lands on the container and fails every call with UNEXPECTED_PAYLOAD though native succeeded ([format §2](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md)). | WARNING |

| src-promise-always-settled | each @ReactMethod / RCT_EXPORT_METHOD that takes a Promise / resolver+rejecter contains at least one promise.resolve / promise.reject (or resolve(...) / reject(...)) on a reachable path. A Promise-taking method that can return without settling leaves the maker with a hung control and no code/message. | WARNING |

| src-listener-released | each register / addListener / observe / acquired manager in the module has a matching release (unregister / removeListener / .close() / .release()) in invalidate() / onCatalystInstanceDestroy() / teardown. A registered callback with no release leaks and can fire into a dead module. | WARNING |

Step 8 — Report + route fixes

Print the verdict as a visible fenced block (shared-instructions §9.1). Prefix each severity per shared-instructions.md §9.3 — 🔴 CRITICAL, 🟡 WARNING, 🔵 INFO, 🟢 READY — keeping the word so meaning survives a no-emoji terminal:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 audit-ppmplugin — pen-input.ppmplugin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 Path: ppmplugin/pen-input.ppmplugin   (v0.1.4, Android-only, 3.4 KB)
 🔴 CRITICAL: 0   🟡 WARNING: 1   🔵 INFO: 0   SKIPPED: 4 (source not reachable)

 🟡 [WARNING] zip-no-stray-files: .DS_Store present in android/
   Fix: re-run /assemble-ppmplugin (it excludes dotfiles).

 ⓘ The upload service may apply additional name checks not represented locally.
 🟢 ✓ READY TO UPLOAD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

(When there are CRITICALs, the verdict line reads 🔴 and the last line is 🔴 ✗ NOT READY — fix the CRITICAL findings above.)

Each non-clean finding carries Fix: with the concrete next action, routed to the owning skill (never a zip patch):

• Manifest rule / leakage field → "edit + re-run /generate-ppmplugin-manifest, then /assemble-ppmplugin."
• DEX leakage / missing class → "the Android source pulled in SDK symbols — strip the import; re-run /build-android-binary then /assemble-ppmplugin."
• Zip stray-file / structure → "re-run /assemble-ppmplugin."

Then surface next steps via AskUserQuestion (shared-instructions §9.1):

• Clean (0 CRITICAL): offer Re-run /generate-ppmplugin-manifest (only if a WARNING points there) / Stay — I'll upload manually (Stage 3 is not yet a skill). When the user picks a Run /… option, invoke it via the Skill tool in the same turn (§8 + §9.1 "execute, don't describe").
• Dirty (≥1 CRITICAL): offer to jump to the owning skill of the first CRITICAL — Run /generate-ppmplugin-manifest or Run /build-android-binary — then re-assemble + re-audit. Invoke on selection.

Update the ## ppmplugin (third-party controls) block in .extension-state.md: Audit: <name>.ppmplugin <ISO timestamp> — <CRITICAL>C/<WARNING>W (READY | BLOCKED).

Return code:

• DONE — 0 CRITICAL (clean, or warnings only ⇒ note them). The bundle passes local verification.
• BLOCKED: audit found <N> CRITICAL — see findings — refuse the READY verdict; do not claim it's uploadable.
