Signals

Ordered by severity, then signals introduced in this release. Hidden characters are shown as ⟨U+…⟩.

info ~~warn~~ → info by review decoder-decompress-payload benchmarks/gzip_benchmark.py:93:16

file imports decoder module(s) gzip and calls `.decompress()` — embedded payload decompressed at runtime (ast pass, confidence 0.75)
```
        assert isinstance(compressed, bytes)
        assert gzip.decompress(compressed) == self.payload

        assert len(self.tiny_messages) == 2
```
likely benign LLM, confidence 0.95 A benchmark test verifies gzip round-trip decompression of its own test data.
Reasoning
The snippet is a benchmark asserting that gzip.decompress of a compressed test fixture equals the original payload. This is a round-trip correctness check on a locally generated value, not a hidden runtime payload. The signal fires on the generic decompress call, and nothing in the snippet suggests dropper behavior.
info ~~warn~~ → info by review decoder-decompress-payload tests/middleware/test_gzip.py:162:20

file imports decoder module(s) zlib and calls `.decompress()` — embedded payload decompressed at runtime (ast pass, confidence 0.75)
```
    assert len(events) == 3
    decompressor = zlib.decompressobj(16 + zlib.MAX_WBITS)
    assert decompressor.decompress(events[1]["body"]) == chunk
    assert decompressor.decompress(events[2]["body"]) == b"tail"
```
likely benign LLM, confidence 0.95 A middleware test decompresses gzip-streamed response chunks to verify their contents.
Reasoning
The snippet is a unit test that uses zlib.decompressobj with a gzip window size to check streamed response chunks from a middleware. The decompressed data is compared against expected chunks, which is ordinary test validation. The file name and usage match a web framework's gzip middleware tests.
