Glossary

The terminology Infiniview uses across the dashboard, GitHub integration, and API — in one short reference.

Terms are listed alphabetically. Each entry links out to the page where the concept is described in full.

Auto-review
The automatic PR-scan path. Governed by Settings: repo allowlist, own-PR-only, push debounce, and per-PR ignores all live here.
Capability
One of the five things a scan does: code review, security analysis, runtime verification, browser interaction testing, evidence packaging. Coverage and skip reasons are reported per capability.
Compare
The view (and endpoint) that explains what changed between a scan run and the previous successful run on the same target. Reports baseline counts and delta movement.
Debounce
The configured window during which synchronize events on the same PR are coalesced into a single scan. Range 1–120 minutes, off by default.
Degraded run
A scan that completed with reduced coverage. Findings still persist, but trust drops and the run is annotated with the typed gap reasons.
Delta state
Each finding’s movement relative to the previous successful scan on the same target: new, recurring, regressed, fixed, or suppressed. See Findings & evidence.
Exploitability
Whether the finding has been confirmed against the running application. One of verified (confirmed runtime-side), unverified (reported by analysis only), and not_tested(runtime testing didn’t reach this surface).
Finding
A persisted issue discovered by a scanner or runtime agent. Findings carry severity, category, confidence, exploitability, source phase, primary file, line range, fingerprint, evidence, and remediation guidance.
Fingerprint
A stable identifier derived from a finding’s rule, location, and signature. Fingerprints power delta computation across scans and are what suppressions match against.
Frozen snapshot
Same as snapshot. The emphasis on frozen is that, once the run starts, no later configuration change can mutate it.
Proof bundle
A downloadable package per finding: identity, location, replay data, proof-of-concept variants, and expected behavior. Useful for handing off to engineering or filing an issue.
Readiness
A precondition check that answers can I rerun?. Verifies GitHub access, environment-variable signals, supported app type, and replay prerequisites. The rerun affordance is hidden when readiness fails.
Replay artifact
Reproducible evidence captured for a runtime or interaction finding — request payloads, response bodies, navigation traces. Linked from the finding detail page and downloadable via the replay endpoint.
Review
The user-facing product object for a given repo and target — usually a branch or a pull request. A review accumulates one or more scan runs over its lifetime and is what you open, rerun, delete, or archive.
Runtime agent
A capability that exercises the running application inside the sandbox — verification probes, interaction testing, exploit confirmation. Specific agents are listed in the Security dashboard and may be tier-gated.
Sandbox
The isolated execution environment Infiniview spins up to build, serve, and probe the repository. Sandboxes are ephemeral and torn down at the end of each scan run.
Scan run
A single execution of the scan pipeline against a review. Each run carries its own frozen configuration snapshot, status, timeline, findings, trust score, and (when applicable) CSV and compare endpoints. Use scan only as shorthand when the sentence is clearly about this execution, not the review container.
Scanner
A specific named tool that produces findings — for example, Semgrep, Gitleaks, Trivy, OSV Scanner. Each scanner is enabled by default or opt-in; see Scanners & agents.
Severity
One of critical, high, medium, low, info. critical and high block PR merges; the rest are reported but non-blocking. info is excluded from the unique-vulnerabilities counter on the overview.
Snapshot
The merged, frozen configuration applied to a scan run at trigger time. Combines your dashboard defaults with the repo’s .infiniview.yml; repo config wins for overlapping fields. Mid-run edits never affect the active scan.
Source phase
The pipeline phase that produced a finding — static analysis, dependency audit, secrets, IaC, code review, runtime verification, or interaction testing.
Suppression
A fingerprint-scoped rule that hides matching findings. repo scope hides for that repository; userscope applies across the user’s matching findings. Deleting a suppression restores presentation without touching history.
Trust
A 0–100 score (and label: strong, moderate, limited, degraded) reflecting how reliable the scan was. Carries the verification mix, skipped scanners, replay readiness, and coverage gaps. See Trust & readiness.
Trust gap
A typed reason a scan’s coverage is reduced. Today: scanner_skipped, runtime_not_tested, replay_unavailable, and degraded. Each gap names the affected tool or capability.
Trusted command
A PR comment beginning with @infiniview. Acted on only when posted by an owner, member, or collaborator with write, maintain, or admin permission.
Unsupported app
A repository the sandbox can’t build and serve as a browser web app. The PR check completes neutrally instead of returning a misleading pass.
