Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Query output now consistently includes path prefixes for names inside path-selection conditions and expressions.
    • Negated conjunctions are printed with parentheses, making their grouping clearer.
    • Deadlock conditions use the same path-aware name formatting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

QueryPrinter now prefixes names with the active path when printing conditions and expressions. Negated conjunctions use parentheses. A test checks the rendered output after pushNegation.

Changes

Query printing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path-aware names and negation formatting
include/PetriEngine/PQL/QueryPrinter.h, src/PetriEngine/PQL/QueryPrinter.cpp, boost_tests/PushNegationTests.cpp
QueryPrinter tracks path-selection names while printing child expressions and conditions. It uses the active path when printing names and encloses negated conjunctions in parentheses. The test checks the rendered output after pushNegation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f36e0

Queries with nested path scopes can display incomplete references. This is a bounded rendering defect that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f36e0

The change has limited scope, but rendered names also identify predicates during verification. Checked path behavior matches evaluation, and no security issue was established. External consumers and exceptional reuse remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated propagation is within query diagnostics and LTL atomic-proposition construction. Inspected consumers retain PQL expressions rather than reparsing rendered text as commands or authorization decisions; no broader privileged attack path was established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Normal recursive traversal restores the prior path, and separate printer instances do not share it. A throwing child can skip restoration, but inspected production callers construct local printers, containing stale state to the failed instance. Recovery through external reuse or concurrent sharing is not established.

Preserve the enclosing path for nested scopes.

XML parsing can create nested PathSelectCondition and PathSelectExpr nodes. When an outer scope visits an inner scope, these assignments discard the outer path. The rendered reference then uses only the inner name instead of the full nested path.

Suggested fix
-            _path = condition->name();
+            _path = old.empty() ? condition->name() : old + "." + condition->name();

Apply the same path extension in _accept(const PathSelectExpr*).

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
auto old = _path;
_path = condition->name();
Visitor::visit(this, condition->child());
_path = old;
auto old = _path;
_path = old.empty() ? condition->name() : old + "." + condition->name();
Visitor::visit(this, condition->child());
_path = old;
