wj test --race

# Build with race instrumentation
wj build --race --target debug

# Analyze race reports
wj race analyze race_report.json
```

**Example Output:**
```
==================
WARNING: DATA RACE
Write at 0x7f8a1c000010 by goroutine 7:
  main.wj:45 counter += 1
  
Previous read at 0x7f8a1c000010 by goroutine 6:
  main.wj:42 print(counter)

Goroutine 7 (running) created at:

### v0.40.0 - Security-by-Design Compiler Analysis 🔒

**Theme: Zero-Trust Security Model**

**Inspired by:** [Deno's permission system](https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/security/), capability-based security, principle of least privilege

**Compiler-Enforced Permissions:**
- **Network Access Control** - Track and restrict network calls at compile time
  - `@permission(network: "api.example.com")` - Explicit allowlist
  - Detect unauthorized network access attempts
  - Prevent DNS rebinding attacks
  - Warn about connecting to localhost from web contexts
  
- **File System Sandboxing** - Fine-grained file access tracking
  - `@permission(fs_read: ["./data", "./config"])` - Explicit read paths
  - `@permission(fs_write: ["./output"])` - Explicit write paths
  - Detect path traversal vulnerabilities
  - Prevent reading sensitive files (`.env`, private keys, etc.)
  
- **Environment Variable Safety** - Control env var access
  - `@permission(env: ["DATABASE_URL", "API_KEY"])` - Explicit allowlist
  - Detect hardcoded secrets vs env vars
  - Warn about reading sensitive env vars in untrusted contexts
  
- **Subprocess Execution** - Restrict command execution
  - `@permission(run: ["git", "npm"])` - Explicit command allowlist
  - Detect shell injection vulnerabilities
  - Prevent privilege escalation attempts
  - Track subprocess spawning for audit

**Advanced Static Analysis:**
- **Taint Analysis** - Track data flow from untrusted sources
  - User input → database query (SQL injection detection)
  - User input → shell command (command injection detection)
  - User input → eval/reflection (code injection detection)
  - Network data → file system (path traversal detection)
  
- **Information Flow Control** - Prevent data leaks
  - Detect sensitive data flowing to network
  - Track personally identifiable information (PII)
  - Prevent secrets leaking to logs
  - Ensure encryption for sensitive data transmission
  
- **Capability Analysis** - Least privilege enforcement
  - Detect over-privileged code (asking for more than needed)
  - Suggest minimum permission sets
  - Flag unused permissions
  - Recommend permission reduction

**Security Linting Rules (Beyond gosec):**
- `untrusted-input` - Track all user input without validation
- `sql-injection` - Enhanced with taint analysis
- `command-injection` - Shell command construction analysis
- `path-traversal` - File path validation
- `xxe-vulnerability` - XML external entity detection
- `deserialization-of-untrusted-data` - Unsafe deserialization
- `timing-attack` - Constant-time comparison enforcement
- `cryptographic-weakness` - Weak cipher/hash detection
- `insecure-randomness` - Non-cryptographic RNG for security
- `unvalidated-redirect` - Open redirect vulnerabilities
- `cors-misconfiguration` - Permissive CORS policies
- `jwt-security` - JWT best practices enforcement

**Permission Manifest (`wj.toml`):**
```toml
[permissions]
# Network access
network = ["api.example.com", "db.example.com"]
network_deny = ["0.0.0.0", "127.0.0.1"]  # Prevent localhost access

# File system access
fs_read = ["./data", "./config"]
fs_write = ["./output", "./logs"]
fs_deny = [".env", "*.key", "*.pem"]  # Never access secrets

# Environment variables
env = ["DATABASE_URL", "API_KEY"]
env_deny = ["AWS_SECRET_KEY"]  # Never read cloud credentials

# Subprocess execution
run = ["git", "npm", "cargo"]
run_deny = ["curl", "wget"]  # Prevent arbitrary downloads

[security]
# Require all network calls to use TLS
require_tls = true

# Enforce input validation
require_validation = true

# Enable taint analysis
taint_tracking = true

# Require capability annotations
require_permissions = true
```

**Runtime Integration:**
```windjammer
// Compile-time permission checking
@permission(network: "api.github.com")
@permission(env: "GITHUB_TOKEN")
async fn fetch_repo(owner: string, repo: string) -> Result<Repo, Error> {
    // Compiler verifies:
    // 1. Network access to api.github.com is declared
    // 2. GITHUB_TOKEN env var access is declared
    // 3. No other permissions are used
    
    let token = env::var("GITHUB_TOKEN")?;  // ✅ Allowed
    let url = format!("https://api.github.com/repos/{}/{}", owner, repo);
    
    http::get(&url)  // ✅ Allowed (api.github.com in permission)
        .header("Authorization", format!("token {}", token))
        .send()
        .await
}

// ❌ Compile error: Network access to 'evil.com' not in permission list
async fn bad_function() {
    http::get("https://evil.com").await  // ERROR: Unauthorized network access
}
```

**Audit Mode:**
```bash
# Generate security audit report
wj audit --path src

# Output:
Security Audit Report
=====================

Network Access:
  ✓ api.github.com (declared, used in fetch_repo)
  ✓ db.example.com (declared, used in database::connect)
  ⚠ api.twitter.com (used but not declared in wj.toml)

File System:
  ✓ ./data (read, declared)
  ✗ ./.env (attempted read - BLOCKED)
  
Environment Variables:
  ✓ GITHUB_TOKEN (declared, used)
  ⚠ AWS_SECRET_KEY (attempted access - BLOCKED by deny list)

Vulnerabilities:
  ⚠ SQL injection risk in user_query.rs:45 (taint analysis)
  ⚠ Hardcoded secret in config.rs:12 (pattern match)
  ✗ Command injection in deploy.rs:89 (user input → subprocess)
  
Recommendations:
  1. Add @permission(network: "api.twitter.com") or remove usage
  2. Use parameterized queries in user_query.rs:45
  3. Move hardcoded secret to environment variable
  4. Sanitize user input before subprocess execution
```

**Comparison with Other Languages:**

| Feature | Node.js | Deno | Rust | Go | **Windjammer v0.40.0** |
|---------|---------|------|------|----|-----------------------|
| **Permission System** | ❌ None | ✅ Runtime | ❌ None | ❌ None | ✅ **Compile-time** |
| **Network Sandboxing** | ❌ No | ✅ `--allow-net` | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ **Fine-grained** |
| **File System Sandboxing** | ❌ No | ✅ `--allow-read/write` | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ **Path-specific** |
| **Taint Analysis** | ⚠️ Limited | ❌ No | ⚠️ External tools | ❌ No | ✅ **Built-in** |
| **SQL Injection Detection** | ⚠️ Linters | ❌ No | ⚠️ clippy (basic) | ⚠️ gosec | ✅ **Advanced** |
| **Audit Trail** | ❌ No | ⚠️ Runtime logs | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ **Compile-time report** |

**Why This Matters:**

1. **Security by Default** - Programs start with zero permissions, must explicitly request access
2. **Supply Chain Protection** - Dependencies can't access resources without declaration
3. **Audit Trail** - Complete compile-time visibility into all security-relevant operations
4. **Zero Runtime Overhead** - All checks happen at compile time
5. **Developer Education** - Forces thinking about security implications upfront

**Competitive Advantages:**

- ✅ **Only language with compile-time permission system** (Deno is runtime)
- ✅ **Zero runtime overhead** (compile-time analysis)
- ✅ **Better than Deno** - Catches issues at compile time, not runtime
- ✅ **Better than Rust** - Built-in, not external tools
- ✅ **Better than Go** - No gosec needed, it's built-in and smarter
- ✅ **Better than Node** - Actually has security controls

**Target Date:** Q2 2028
