fix: resolve test_ai_safety_chaos linker errors (PromptPolicy + EthicalGuidelinesManager) by Copilot · Pull Request #6323 · makr-code/ThemisDB

Copilot · 2026-09-12T08:16:54Z

Chronic linker failure in test_ai_safety_chaos: embedded_llm_stub.cpp (in libthemis_llm_api.a) calls PromptPolicy::apply/addBlockRule/addRedactRule via prompt_safety_utils.h inlines, and triggers EthicalGuidelinesManager::~EthicalGuidelinesManager() via unique_ptr member destruction — but both symbols lived only in libthemis_llm.a, which libthemis_llm_api.a cannot depend on (circular).

Description

Root Cause

libthemis_llm_api.a(embedded_llm_stub.cpp.o):
  undefined reference to `PromptPolicy::apply()`
  undefined reference to `PromptPolicy::addBlockRule()`
  undefined reference to `PromptPolicy::addRedactRule()`
  undefined reference to `EthicalGuidelinesManager::~EthicalGuidelinesManager()`

themis_llm_api → no dep on themis_llm (would be circular via themis_llm → themis_query → themis_llm_api). The test conditionally links themis_llm but the dependency gap exists in the static archive itself.

Changes

cmake/ModularBuild.cmake

Add prompt_policy.cpp to THEMIS_LLM_API_SOURCES. The existing list(REMOVE_ITEM THEMIS_LLM_CORE_SOURCES …) automatically drops it from libthemis_llm.a. Code in libthemis_llm.a using PromptPolicy still resolves via themis_llm → themis_query → [PUBLIC] themis_llm_api.

include/llm/ethical_guidelines_manager.h

Declare destructor = default inline — the body was empty; making it inline eliminates the out-of-line symbol from libthemis_llm.a.

src/llm/ethical_guidelines_manager.cpp

Remove now-redundant empty out-of-line destructor definition (would cause redefinition with inline = default).

macOS CI

The macOS kqueue job failure (all 3 targets unknown) was caused by test_config_file_watcher.cpp not existing at SHA 2b99146. That file was added via #6320 and the macOS job will pass on the next run — no further action needed here.

Type of Change

Breaking Change Checklist

MAJOR version bump planned in VERSION and CMakeLists.txt
Migration guide added in docs/migration/
Announcement prepared for GitHub Discussions (≥ 2 weeks before release)
CHANGELOG ### Removed / ### Changed section updated

Testing

Unit tests added/updated
Integration tests added/updated
Manual testing performed
Benchmarks run (if performance-sensitive change)

Validated via parallel code review + CodeQL scan (clean). CMake source list logic verified: prompt_policy.cpp is excluded from THEMIS_LLM_CORE_SOURCES by the existing REMOVE_ITEM call; no duplicate compilation.

AI Review Workflow (Required for AI-assisted PRs)

Findings-first review performed with .github/prompts/pr-diff-findings-review.prompt.md
Security hardening review performed for security-sensitive/runtime changes with .github/prompts/security-hardening-review.prompt.md (or N/A documented) — N/A, no runtime logic change
API impact review performed for API/contract changes with .github/prompts/api-change-impact-review.prompt.md (or N/A documented) — N/A, no API surface change
All Critical/High findings are resolved or explicitly accepted with rationale in PR description

Residual risk: None. prompt_policy.cpp has no external dependencies beyond <regex>, <stdexcept>, and spdlog — safe to include in the API static archive.

…hicalGuidelinesManager) - Move prompt_policy.cpp into THEMIS_LLM_API_SOURCES so that PromptPolicy::apply(), addBlockRule() and addRedactRule() are compiled into libthemis_llm_api.a. embedded_llm_stub.cpp (also in libthemis_llm_api.a) calls these via prompt_safety_utils.h; the symbols were previously only in libthemis_llm.a which is not a dependency of libthemis_llm_api.a (circular dep prevention). REMOVE_ITEM on THEMIS_LLM_CORE_SOURCES automatically excludes the file from libthemis_llm.a; code in libthemis_llm.a that uses PromptPolicy still resolves through the themis_llm → themis_query → [PUBLIC] themis_llm_api chain. - Inline EthicalGuidelinesManager::~EthicalGuidelinesManager() as = default in the class declaration. The destructor body was empty; making it inline removes the undefined-reference to the out-of-line symbol that embedded_llm_stub.cpp.o pulled in via std::unique_ptr<EthicalGuidelinesManager> destruction. Remove the now-redundant out-of-line definition from ethical_guidelines_manager.cpp. Fixes: #6307 (chronic build failure — test_ai_safety_chaos linker error) Co-authored-by: makr-code <150588092+makr-code@users.noreply.github.com>

Merge conflicts resolved. Merged origin/develop into the PR branch. Conflicts in 4 locations were resolved as follows:

src/analytics/olap.cpp: Took develop's static_cast<size_t>(1ULL << query.dimensions.size()) — avoids potential shift UB on the literal 1.
src/governance/compliance_framework.cpp: Took develop's static_cast<int>(it->second.size()) — our batch regex had corrupted it->second to it- < which was a compile error.
src/query/sql_parser.cpp: Took develop's version (whitespace-only difference: space after "").
vcpkg submodule: Took develop's commit.
