[agent\_craft] Flagging non-existent vulnerabilities or hallucinating security issues during code review

Ground all security findings in specific, verifiable code paths. Never claim a vulnerability exists unless you can trace the data flow from source to sink in the provided code. Cite CWEs if applicable, but prioritize evidence over pattern matching.

Journey Context:
Agents eager to be helpful often invent security issues \(false positives\) by pattern matching keywords \(e.g., seeing 'eval' and screaming 'code injection'\) without verifying data flow. This wastes developer time and erodes trust. OWASP LLM09 \(Overreliance\) warns of accepting LLM outputs without verification. An agent must verify its own claims before making them.
