BatchLang/Blinter v1.1.64

[1.1.64] - 2026-11-05

Fixed

• Files longer than 2500 lines still receive the security, warning, style, and unreachable-code checks. Parenthesis depth for unreachable code is computed once per file
• CALL of an external program is E014 only when that name is also a defined label. SET /A accepts a unary minus such as 5*-1. where deleted is not SEC003, and sc inside another word is not SEC005. Command chaining after 2>&1 is still SEC013. SET /P dataflow (SEC001) runs even when the first line is skipped as an embedded header
• Label names end at whitespace and +:=,;, matching cmd.exe, so goto start reaches :start rem entry. REM LINT:IGNORE-LINE is recognized after & on the same line
• --update-baseline can record a finding on a blank line. Follow-calls rejects UNC paths before Path.resolve, and directory scans do not walk junctions or directory symlinks
• Text output strips terminal escape sequences. --fail-on error and --follow-calls help text matches the exit-code rules
• The Windows installer broadcasts a settings change after writing a REG_EXPAND_SZ user PATH. The uninstaller reads stop-script errors separately from process IDs. The quality gate requires Pester 5 or newer and reports PSScriptAnalyzer errors
• The cmd.exe oracle also refuses format, diskpart, bcdedit, setx, schtasks, and reg add. Nuitka toolchain downloads require BLINTER_NUITKA_ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=1
• On Windows, scripts/verify.py launches the lint benchmark through runpy, matching the regression test. Executing scripts/benchmark_lint.py as a script exceeds the committed CPU ceiling
• Child Python tools started by scripts/verify.py use UTF-8, so isort checks source files that contain characters outside the console code page
• syntax/for-f-delims-only-valid records the FOR /F rules that delims= must not raise. The conditional SETLOCAL fixture is no longer listed under pairing rules it does not assert

Changed

• CodeRabbit reviews follow .coderabbit.yaml, including generated files, corpus fixtures, and the batch-spec submodule
• Contributor commands use uv run or an activated .venv. A bare py can import a different Blinter
• Script-structure analysis no longer returns delayed-expansion flags that no checker reads
• S003 command-start scanning lives in parsing/command_scan.py. Caret escapes are the one helper in parsing/context.py
• The optional batch-script-examples folder, its baseline check, and the needs_corpus tests are removed. Rule fixtures stay in spec/corpus
• scripts/spec/cmd_oracle.py --case runs one corpus case
• yamllint no longer checks YAML newlines. .gitattributes already stores YAML as LF, and a Windows core.autocrlf checkout is CRLF
• The synthetic and label benchmark medians are remeasured now that files over 2500 lines run the full checks. The ceiling remains twice the measured median
• The MegaLinter install pin is 1.1.64
