Summary

CSV-driven purchase counts and savings were parsed with fmt.Sscanf, which stops at the first character it cannot consume and still reports success. Both fields are now parsed strictly.

Root cause

parseCSVInt / parseCSVFloat in cmd/multi_service_csv.go used fmt.Sscanf("%d" / "%f"). A Count of 3.7 loaded as 3, 12 units as 12, -5 as -5, and an EstimatedSavings of 1000 USD as 1000. These values feed savingsPerInstance, ApplyInstanceLimit and the purchase loop.

Fix

  • parseCSVCount: strconv.Atoi on the trimmed cell. It rejects fractions, trailing garbage, overflow, negative values, a blank cell and a missing Count column. Zero is still accepted, as before.
  • parseCSVFloat: strconv.ParseFloat on the trimmed cell, and NaN/Inf are rejected. A blank or absent EstimatedSavings still loads as zero, because requireRankingSignal relies on that to refuse a binding --max-instances cap.
  • Errors name the CSV line (via csv.Reader.FieldPos) and the column number and name, for example CSV line 3: column 4 "Count": invalid integer "3.7": ....

Behavior change: a CSV with no Count column, or with a blank Count cell, used to load Count=0. It now errors.

Other loose parses in cmd/: none. A grep for Sscan and strconv.(Atoi|Parse*) in cmd/*.go returns only the two functions changed here.

Regression test

cmd/multi_service_csv_strict_test.go covers Count values 3.7, 3abc, 12 units, -1, "", whitespace only and 99999999999999999999, a missing Count column, EstimatedSavings values 1000 USD, 12.5abc, NaN, Inf and 1e400, a trimmed " 3 " (must load as 3), and a blank EstimatedSavings (must stay 0).

Run against the pre-fix code, every case failed except " 3 ", which Sscanf already accepted. The overflow cases already errored before the fix; they fail pre-fix only on the line/column assertion. Existing error-message assertions in multi_service_csv_test.go were updated to the new wording.

Verification

All with GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.6 GOWORK=off:

  • go build ./cmd: passed
  • go vet ./cmd: passed
  • go test -race -short ./cmd: ok
  • go mod tidy -diff: empty
  • gofmt -l: clean
  • pre-commit hooks: all passed
  • golangci-lint: 0 issues. I ran local v2.11.4, not the CI pin v2.10.1.

No real purchases were made, and --yes was never used.

Closes #1944

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • CSV import errors now identify the line and column containing invalid data.
    • Counts must be present and contain a non-negative integer; surrounding whitespace is accepted.
    • Estimated savings values are trimmed and must be finite numbers. Blank or missing values remain unchanged, and blank savings are treated as zero.

fmt.Sscanf stopped at the first unconsumable character and reported
success, so a Count of "3.7" loaded as 3, "12 units" as 12, "-5" as -5,
and an EstimatedSavings of "1000 USD" as 1000. These values feed
savingsPerInstance, ApplyInstanceLimit and the purchase loop.

Parse the trimmed cell with strconv.Atoi / strconv.ParseFloat, reject a
negative, blank or missing Count and non-finite savings, and name the CSV
line and column in the error. A blank EstimatedSavings still loads as
zero, which requireRankingSignal depends on.

Closes #1944

The CSV loader now validates Count and EstimatedSavings values, trims whitespace, and reports row and column details for parsing errors. Tests cover invalid values, required columns, and accepted blank savings.

Count must be present, nonblank, integer, and non-negative. EstimatedSavings rejects malformed and non-finite values. Parse errors include row and column details. Tests cover these cases and confirm blank savings remain zero.

A header-only CSV can omit the required Count column without an error. This narrow validation gap should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Coordination: this session has a small tests-only follow-up covering malformed CSV values through runToolFromCSV. Independent review, original-parser negative proof, and a full local race suite passed. Current merge-from-main head 14f8222 will be preserved. The follow-up will use a normal fast-forward push after integrating that head and completing final review; no force-overwrite of other work.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the required Count column before reading records.

If a CSV contains only the header Service,Region,ResourceType, parseCSVRecords reaches EOF without calling parseCSVCount. The loader then accepts a file that lacks the required Count column. Check the header in loadRecommendationsFromCSV so a header-only file also reports the missing column. (pkg.go.dev)

Independent adversarial review (Opus 5.5) at 2031d2e: MERGE. The CSV loader now parses Count and EstimatedSavings strictly with strconv on the trimmed cell (fractions, garbage, overflow, negative, blank and a missing Count column are rejected with line/column errors; NaN/Inf savings rejected). A blank savings cell still loads as 0, which only makes the --max-instances ranking refusal stricter. A missing Count now errors, closing a silent cap bypass (rows used to load as 0). Pre-fix: the new strict tests fail on main. go test -race -short ./cmd/..., golangci-lint v2.10.1 clean; CI green. Follow-up filed (reject Count=0, negative savings). (branch updated with main; reviewed changes unchanged)
