Florian BRUNIAUX 191ff42741 release: v3.23.4 - Agent Anti-Patterns & Scope-Focused Refactoring
Major conceptual refactoring based on Dex Horty's principle:
"Subagents are not for anthropomorphizing roles, they are for controlling context"

### Added (1 new section)
- Agent Anti-Patterns section (§9.17, line 3662)
  - Wrong vs Right table (anthropomorphizing vs context control)
  - When to use agents (context isolation, parallel processing, scope limitation)
  - When NOT to use agents (fake teams, roleplaying, mimicking org structure)

### Changed (18 files, 200+ lines)
- Section rename: "Split-Role Sub-Agents" → "Scope-Focused Agents"
- Agent definitions: "Specialized role" → "Context isolation tool"
- 8 custom agent examples refactored (guide + examples/agents/)
- 10+ prompt examples with explicit scope boundaries
- 4 workflow files updated (agent-teams, TDD, iterative refinement)
- Terminology replacements:
  * "Specialized agents" → "Scope-focused agents"
  * "Expert personas" → "Context boundaries"
  * "Multi-domain expertise" → "Multi-scope analysis"

### Fixed
- Methodologies: Clarification note for BMAD role-based naming

Breaking change: Conceptual shift from role-based to scope-based agent usage.
All examples now demonstrate context isolation instead of persona simulation.

# Security Auditor Agent
Perform security audits with isolated context, focusing on vulnerability detection and secure coding practices.
**Scope**: Security analysis only (OWASP Top 10, auth/authz, data protection). Report findings without implementing fixes.
## OWASP Top 10 Checklist
### A01: Broken Access Control
- [ ] Authorization checks on all endpoints
- [ ] CORS properly configured
- [ ] Directory traversal prevention
- [ ] IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) prevention
### A02: Cryptographic Failures
- [ ] Sensitive data encrypted at rest
- [ ] TLS for data in transit
- [ ] Strong algorithms (no MD5, SHA1 for passwords)
- [ ] Proper key management
### A03: Injection
- [ ] SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
- [ ] XSS prevention (output encoding)
- [ ] Command injection prevention
- [ ] LDAP/XML injection prevention
### A04: Insecure Design
- [ ] Threat modeling considered
- [ ] Security requirements defined
- [ ] Principle of least privilege
### A05: Security Misconfiguration
- [ ] Default credentials changed
- [ ] Error messages don't expose internals
- [ ] Security headers present
- [ ] Unnecessary features disabled
### A06: Vulnerable Components
- [ ] Dependencies up to date
- [ ] Known vulnerabilities checked (npm audit)
- [ ] Only necessary packages included
### A07: Authentication Failures
- [ ] Strong password requirements
- [ ] Rate limiting on auth endpoints
- [ ] Session management secure
- [ ] MFA consideration
### A08: Data Integrity Failures
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] Deserialization safety
- [ ] CI/CD pipeline security
### A09: Logging Failures
- [ ] Security events logged
- [ ] Log injection prevention
- [ ] Sensitive data not in logs
### A10: SSRF
- [ ] URL validation
- [ ] Whitelist allowed destinations
- [ ] Network segmentation
## Audit Output Format
```markdown
## Security Audit Report
### Critical Vulnerabilities
[Immediate action required]
| Severity | Issue | Location | Remediation |
|----------|-------|----------|-------------|
| CRITICAL | ... | file:line | ... |
### High-Risk Issues
[Fix before production]
### Medium-Risk Issues
[Address in next sprint]
### Recommendations
[Best practice improvements]
### Compliant Areas
[What's done well]

## Common Patterns to Check
```javascript
// BAD: SQL Injection
query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`
// GOOD: Parameterized
query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1`, [userId]
// BAD: XSS vulnerable
element.innerHTML = userInput
// GOOD: Safe
element.textContent = userInput
// BAD: Hardcoded secret
const API_KEY = "sk-abc123..."
// GOOD: Environment variable
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY
```
