 Deadend CLI is an autonomous web application penetration testing agent that uses feedback-driven iteration to adapt exploitation strategies. When standard tools fail, it generates custom Python payloads, observes responses, and iteratively refines its approach until breakthrough.

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] Fix: Docker Desktop socket detection for macOS

Add automatic Docker socket path detection to support Docker Desktop
on macOS and other platforms where the default /var/run/docker.sock
is not available. The fix checks for the Docker Desktop socket at
~/.docker/run/docker.sock and sets DOCKER_HOST accordingly.

This resolves connection errors when running 'deadend init' on macOS
with Docker Desktop installed.

Changes:
- Added os import for path and environment variable handling
- Added socket path detection logic before Docker client initialization
- Formatted code with black and isort per contributing guidelines

 in init command
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Users no longer need to manually enter the database URL during initialization.
The DB_URL now defaults to the pgvector container connection string
(postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:54320/codeindexerdb) that gets
automatically set up during the init process.

Subject: [PATCH 05/10] Fix: Set default DB_URL to pgvector connection string
 in init command
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Users no longer need to manually enter the database URL during initialization.
The DB_URL now defaults to the pgvector container connection string
(postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:54320/codeindexerdb) that gets
automatically set up during the init process.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] Fix: Add macOS and Windows support for Python sandbox
 binary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Python sandbox was previously hardcoded to download only the Linux binary,
causing "Exec format error" on macOS systems. This change adds platform detection
and downloads the appropriate binary for Linux, macOS (Darwin), and Windows.

Changes:
- Add platform.system() detection to identify the OS
- Create SANDBOX_CONFIGS dict with platform-specific binary URLs and SHA256 checksums
- Add get_sandbox_config() function to return the correct configuration
- Update download_python_sandbox() to use platform-specific configuration
- Include macOS binary SHA256: 9dc49652b1314978544e3e56eef67610d10a2fbb51ecaf06bc10f9c27ad75d7c

Fixes the issue where macOS users could not run the chat command due to
attempting to execute a Linux binary.

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] Fix: Disable SSL for localhost PostgreSQL connections
 on macOS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes asyncpg SSL negotiation issue on macOS where connections to localhost
PostgreSQL fail with "ClientConfigurationError: sslmode parameter must be
one of: disable, allow, prefer, require, verify-ca, verify-full".

The issue occurs because:
- Docker Desktop on macOS uses VM-based networking with port forwarding
- asyncpg attempts SSL negotiation by default, even for localhost
- Local PostgreSQL containers typically don't have SSL certificates configured
- asyncpg doesn't accept 'sslmode' as a URL parameter (unlike psycopg2)

Solution:
- Detect localhost connections (localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1)
- Pass ssl=False via connect_args to SQLAlchemy's create_async_engine()
- Only affects local development, doesn't impact remote/production databases

This fix is safe for Linux users as explicitly disabling SSL for localhost
is harmless and doesn't change their working behavior.

Tested on macOS with Docker Desktop and local pgvector container.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] Fix: Change embedding dimensions from 4096 to 1536 for
 OpenAI models
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes dimension mismatch error: "expected 4096 dimensions, not 1536"

The database schema was hardcoded to use 4096-dimensional vectors, but no
OpenAI embedding model produces embeddings of that size:
- text-embedding-3-small: 1536 dimensions
- text-embedding-3-large: 3072 dimensions
- text-embedding-ada-002: 1536 dimensions (legacy)

This caused insertion failures when using the default embedding model
(text-embedding-3-small) configured in most setups.

Changes:
- Updated Vector(4096) to Vector(1536) in all three database models:
  - CodeChunk (models.py:37)
  - CodebaseChunk (models.py:60)
  - KnowledgeBase (models.py:81)
- Updated legacy DB_SCHEMA in database.py (line 141)
- Updated CodeSection docstring to reflect correct dimensions
- Added comments explaining the dimension choice

Impact:
- Requires database recreation (drop and recreate tables) for existing users
- Aligns with the most common OpenAI embedding models
- Fixes embedding insertion for anyone using OpenAI embeddings

Note: Users will need to run init or manually recreate their database
tables to apply this schema change.

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] Fix: Prevent URL malformation causing 'getaddrinfo
 ENOTFOUND http' errors
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixed a critical bug in extract_host_port() that caused malformed URLs
like "http://http://localhost:3000" when the target already contained
a protocol scheme.

## Problem
The extract_host_port() function used naive string splitting on ':'
which incorrectly parsed URLs containing protocol schemes:
- Input: "http://localhost:3000"
- Old output: ("http://localhost", 3000)
- URL construction: f"http://{host}:{port}/login"
- Result: "http://http://localhost:3000/login" ❌
- Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http

This manifested on macOS (and potentially Linux) as DNS resolution
errors when the agent attempted HTTP requests.

## Solution
Rewrote extract_host_port() to use urllib.parse.urlparse which
properly handles URL parsing:
- Input: "http://localhost:3000"
- New output: ("localhost", 3000)
- URL construction: f"http://{host}:{port}/login"
- Result: "http://localhost:3000/login" ✅

## Changes
- Fixed extract_host_port() in http_parser.py to use urlparse
- Added comprehensive unit tests (15 tests, all passing)
- Verified fix with Juice Shop server on localhost:3000

## Testing
All tests pass including critical test for protocol duplication prevention.

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] Fix: Reuse aiohttp ClientSession in EmbedderClient to
 prevent resource exhaustion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Problem
Users were experiencing embedding failures with errors:
- "Cannot connect to host api.openai.com:443 ssl:default [nodename nor servname provided, or not known]"
- "Too many open files"

## Root Cause
The `EmbedderClient.batch_embed()` method created a new `aiohttp.ClientSession`
for every API call. When the batch embedding fallback triggered parallel
individual embedding for many chunks, it created hundreds or thousands of
simultaneous ClientSessions, exhausting the system's file descriptor limit.

This caused:
1. File descriptor exhaustion → "Too many open files"
2. Socket creation failures → DNS resolution failures → misleading "nodename nor servname provided" errors

## Solution
- Modified `EmbedderClient` to use a shared `ClientSession` instance across all requests
- Added `initialize()` method to create the session (since `__init__` cannot be async)
- Added `close()` method for proper resource cleanup
- Updated `ModelRegistry` to call `initialize()` after creating the embedder client
- Updated all instantiation points (chat.py, rpc_server.py, eval.py, core.py) to initialize sessions

## Benefits
- Fixes resource exhaustion and DNS errors
- Improves performance through HTTP connection reuse
- Reduces resource usage across the board
- Follows aiohttp best practices

## Testing
Verified with:
1. Simple 2-item embedding request
2. 5 parallel embedding requests (10 total items)
All tests passed successfully with proper session management.
