Tom Boucher fad5094587 fix(#2089): redesign scanner property test — logic/results, not wall-clock
Replaces the timing-dependent execFileSync(timeout:5000) approach with a
spawnSync-based runHook that tests the scanner's RESULT (exit code + output
shape), never how long it takes.

Root design flaw in the prior approach: execFileSync's timeout (5000ms)
was identical to the scanner's own internal setTimeout(5000ms), creating a
non-repeatable race (F.I.R.S.T. violation: not Repeatable). Under concurrent
test-chunk load — which #2089's 3 new cursor test files redistribute —
node22's event-loop scheduling let execFileSync's SIGTERM win the race,
producing err.status=null → exitCode=1 → spurious property-test failure.

Redesign (F.I.R.S.T.):
- spawnSync (not execFileSync): non-zero exits return a result object,
  not an exception — cleaner for property tests
- Non-serializable payloads (BigInt, circular refs, Symbol) are SKIPPED:
  the scanner receives JSON via stdin, so these values are outside its
  protocol — JSON.stringify throwing is a test-harness artifact, not a
  scanner defect
- 30s safety-net timeout is NOT a test assertion: scanner exits in <100ms;
  30s only catches a genuinely hung process (6x the scanner's own 5s
  internal timer → no race possible)
- Assertions check exit===0 and output structure, never timing

qa-test-architect pipeline: risk=HIGH (security boundary); automation=
subprocess (real shipped hook); test-cases cover happy/boundary/negative/
independence; verified via gsd-test.

/**
* Property-based robustness tests for the gsd-read-injection-scanner PostToolUse hook (#1577).
*
* The hook is a pattern pre-filter over untrusted Read/WebFetch/WebSearch output.
* It must NEVER crash the tool pipeline: whatever the fetched content is —
* adversarial, unicode, control bytes, megabyte-scale, or a wrapped object —
* the hook must exit 0 and emit either nothing or a single well-formed JSON
* object. (Its top-level catch is meant to guarantee this; these properties
* prove it across generated inputs rather than a handful of fixed cases.)
*
* Invoked as a subprocess (the hook reads a JSON payload on stdin and has no
* exported surface), so this exercises the real shipped hook end-to-end.
*
* F.I.R.S.T. design:
* Fast — spawnSync is synchronous; scanner exits in <100ms for any input.
* Isolated — each invocation is a fresh subprocess; no shared state.
* Repeatable — no wall-clock assertion; the 30s safety-net timeout is 6x the
* scanner's own internal 5s timer and is never tested against.
* Tests assert on the scanner's RESULT (exit code + output shape),
* never on timing.
* Self-Val — assertions check exit===0 and output is empty or valid JSON.
* Timely — written alongside the scanner (#1577); hardened for #2089.

*
* The 30s safety-net timeout is NOT a test assertion. The scanner exits in
* <100ms for any input; its own internal setTimeout(5000) guarantees exit
* even if stdin never closes (impossible here — spawnSync's `input:` pipes
* and closes stdin). The ceiling only catches a genuinely hung process (a
* real defect) without racing the scanner's internal timer.
