- fuzz/ workspace (nightly-pinned subtree, own [workspace]), copied
from the alkhttp/alkcall pattern: thin fuzz_target wrappers,
stable-toolchain shared crate holding the invariant logic, detached
runner, seed generator, json.dict, README
- bast_compile: AlkTypeEngine::compile both modes over attacker BAST
JSON; meta-schema gate ordering, always-Result, fixed-size leaf
metadata partition, json_schema lane
- data_access: the hand-rolled decode core over raw bytes at
attacker-chosen offsets; bool strictness, UTF-8 discipline, bounds
partitions, indirect {offset,length} pair contract, write-side
no-touch-on-failure + write/read round trips
- 136 committed seeds (38 + 98) via fuzz/gen_fuzz_seeds.py
- root Cargo.toml: explicit [workspace] exclude=[fuzz]; publish
exclude gains fuzz/
- AGENTS.md verification checklist gains the corpus-replay gate
- .gitignore: fuzz artifacts + grown-corpus pattern
Verification: cargo test 569 pass; clippy -D warnings clean; corpus
replay 4/4 green (136 seeds); cargo fuzz build clean (nightly
confined to fuzz/)

alktype fuzzing
cargo-fuzz targets for the binary struct engine's untrusted-input
surfaces. The design and operating rules live in
docs/plans/fuzzing.md (adopted from alkhttp's
docs/plans/fuzzing.md; rationale in alkcall's
docs/research/fuzzing.md) — this README is the operational
cheat-sheet.
Layout
fuzz_targets/— nightly-onlyfuzz_target!binaries (thin wrappers).shared/— stable-toolchain library holding the invariant logic; the corpus replay tests run here on plaincargo test.corpus/<target>/— committed seeds (regenerate withpython3 fuzz/gen_fuzz_seeds.py).artifacts/— gitignored crash/oom/timeout artifacts + campaign logs.
Targets
| Target | Drives |
|---|---|
bast_compile |
AlkTypeEngine::compile in both layout modes over attacker-shaped BAST JSON (the whole schema side through one choke point) + validate_bast_doc + build_validator |
data_access |
the hand-rolled decode core (src/data_access.rs): fixed-width kinds, bool strictness, length-prefixed and indirect string/bytes, enums — over raw bytes with attacker-chosen offsets and endianness |
Running a campaign — always detached
Agent sessions must never run fuzzing in the foreground (an OOM in a target can take down the session host; see docs/plans/fuzzing.md §2). Use the detached runner:
fuzz/run-detached.sh bast_compile
# poll:
tail -n 50 fuzz/artifacts/bast_compile-*.log
ls fuzz/artifacts/bast_compile/
pgrep -f "cargo fuzz run bast_compile"
FUZZ_RUNTIME_SECS=1800 fuzz/run-detached.sh bast_compile for a longer
campaign. The runner pins -fork=1 -rss_limit_mb=2048 -malloc_limit_mb=2048 -timeout=25 and detaches via setsid + nohup.
Corpus replay (the standing fuzz gate)
cargo test --manifest-path fuzz/shared/Cargo.toml
replays every committed seed through the same invariant functions the fuzz targets run — on stable, without nightly, no cargo-fuzz. Part of the release verification checklist (AGENTS.md).
Toolchain
fuzz/rust-toolchain.toml pins nightly (+ llvm-tools-preview) for
this subtree only; the main crate stays stable at MSRV 1.85. cargo fuzz build works from any CWD inside fuzz/ (rustup resolves the
toolchain per directory). Build:
cd fuzz && cargo fuzz build
# or from the repo root — the toolchain file is picked up by path:
cargo fuzz build -D
