Tighten Hermes switch disassembly normalization so only the jump-table offset is folded for each opcode shape. Add negative tests covering semantic operands (StringSwitchImm id/default/count; UIntSwitchImm default/min/max) and malformed/unsupported switch forms. The temporary workflow applies the patch, runs lint/typecheck/tests/build, commits the verified changes to this branch, then removes itself.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a GitHub Actions workflow that applies guarded Hermes switch normalization changes, creates regression tests, runs repository verification, and commits the verified changes to the automation branch.

Changes

Hermes switch hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transform and regression validation
.github/workflows/apply-hermes-switch-hardening.yml
The workflow replaces broad switch normalization patterns with strict StringSwitchImm and UIntSwitchImm shapes. It adds tests for offset normalization, operand preservation, and malformed formats.
Repository verification and publication
.github/workflows/apply-hermes-switch-hardening.yml
The workflow installs frozen dependencies, runs lint, typecheck, tests, and build, then removes the temporary workflow and pushes the verified changes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2039d

The new pull-request workflow can use write access to push arbitrary repository changes because its definition is modifiable from the pull request. This creates a high-impact repository security risk and should be replaced with read-only verification or a trusted manually dispatched workflow before merging.

- Around line 67-96: Update the semantic-operand assertions in the
StringSwitchImm and UIntSwitchImm normalization tests to compare against the
exact expected normalized strings, retaining the modified semantic operand and
replacing only the jump-table offset with <jt>. Keep the existing baseline and
offset-folding assertions unchanged, and cover each changed operand shown in the
tests.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not grant a write token to a pull-request workflow.

A same-repository pull request can modify this workflow and use contents: write to push arbitrary commits to automation/hermes-switch-release-20260823. Checking out a fixed ref does not prevent this because GitHub executes the workflow definition from the pull-request head. Credential persistence also exposes the token through Git configuration.

Run pull-request verification with read-only permissions. Move the apply, commit, and push steps to a manually dispatched workflow that runs only from a protected trusted ref.

Also applies to: 123-131
