Tikhon worked on semgrep and semgrep-interfaces, delivering features that expanded dependency analysis, symbol analysis, and build system support. He implemented cross-language API changes using OCaml, Python, and TypeScript, enabling transitive reachability and symbol analysis uploads per subproject, which improved supply chain reporting and onboarding for modern ecosystems. His work included integrating new manifest types, enhancing lockfile parsing for Yarn and PNPM, and stabilizing development environments with Nix and Python 3.12. Tikhon maintained backward compatibility and production stability through careful schema design, code generation, and targeted bug fixes, demonstrating depth in backend development and cross-repository coordination throughout the project.
January 2026 recap: Implemented granular per-subproject symbol analysis uploads across semgrep-interfaces and semgrep, enabling finer supply chain analysis and richer reporting while preserving backward compatibility with existing CLI consumers. Introduced an RPC-based pathway and per-subproject S3 endpoints to upload symbol analyses, and aligned data structures with existing pipelines to minimize migration friction. Fixed a backward-compatibility interface issue in semgrep-interfaces to stabilize production behavior. These efforts deliver clearer governance signals, faster remediation, and maintainable extension points for future symbol-analysis integrations.

December 2025 delivered a set of focused, business-value oriented improvements across symbol analysis interfaces, cross-language analysis, and RPC reliability. Key features include the Symbol Analysis RPC Interface in semgrep-interfaces with backward-compatible ATD updates and generated-code synchronization, and the Symbol Analysis Enhancements in semgrep (TypeScript support with S3 upload) to enable cross-language analysis and centralized result storage. RPC performance was improved by enabling multiple RPC calls per process and introducing RpcSession-based optimization for transitive reachability (TR). A critical bug in Python RPC response handling was fixed to read binary data, ensuring correct measurement of multi-call outputs. Additionally, TypeScript symbol analysis was reinstated after CI issues to restore end-to-end reliability. All work included targeted testing and compatibility checks aligned with SC-2975 and SC-3008.

November 2025: Delivered a robust enhancement to dependency parsing for semgrep/semgrep, introducing a testable parsing kind and normalization for uv.lock names. This feature improves validation accuracy of dependency names and reduces false positives in scans. Implemented via commit 80e9844fc467fb0f66abefa1e1a81b46a06d476a, fix(sca) for normalize names when parsing uv.lock files; synced from semgrep-proprietary#5025.

September 2025: Focused on expanding manifest recognition to Kotlin DSL Gradle builds within semgrep-interfaces, delivering BuildGradleKts manifest kind support to improve accuracy and processing of modern Gradle projects. Implemented end-to-end changes and associated commit, enabling Kotlin DSL Gradle files to be recognized and processed, reducing manual work and paving the way for broader Semgrep compatibility with Kotlin-based builds. This work enhances project onboarding speed and strengthens the repository’s capability to scan contemporary Gradle configurations.
