Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Security Fix: Prevent Allocation Size Overflow in Bash
 Tool Merging (Alert #7)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add overflow protection for bash command array allocation to prevent
potential runtime panics when computing allocation size with large arrays.

This fix adds guards to ensure the capacity calculation for mergedCommands
doesn't overflow when adding len(constants.DefaultBashTools) + len(bashArray).

Changes:
- Add maxBashCommands limit (10000) to prevent excessive allocations
- Truncate oversized bashArray inputs before processing
- Validate capacity calculation result to catch negative overflow
- Add security comments explaining CWE-190 mitigation

Fixes: Code scanning alert #7 (go/allocation-size-overflow)
Security: CWE-190 (Integer Overflow)

+Security Fix: Allocation Size Overflow in Bash Tool Merging (Alert #7)
+
+Fixed a potential allocation size overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) in the workflow compiler's bash tool merging logic. The fix implements input validation, overflow detection, and reasonable limits to prevent integer overflow when computing capacity for merged command arrays. This is a preventive security fix that maintains backward compatibility with no breaking changes.
