Daniel Paul Searles

Developed and deployed a cross-repository skipped_paths mechanism to enhance CI scan result accuracy in the semgrep and semgrep-interfaces repositories. This work introduced an optional field to CI scan results, allowing the system to track files that could not be scanned due to errors, thereby reducing false positives and improving triage efficiency. The implementation spanned updates to the Python CLI, OCaml backend, and ATD-derived types, ensuring backward compatibility and seamless integration with distributed scan merge flows. Comprehensive unit testing and JSON serialization were added in both Python and OCaml, strengthening data modeling and supporting more reliable security metrics for remediation planning.

December 2025 monthly summary: Implemented a cross-repo skipped_paths mechanism for CI scan results to prevent false positives, across semgrep-interfaces and the core semgrep stack. The changes improve data quality and triage efficiency by clearly signaling which files could not be scanned due to errors while maintaining backward compatibility. Delivered end-to-end updates across Python CLI, OCaml backend, ATD-derived types, and test suites, aligning with distributed scan merge flows and data schemas.
