The suppression remover currently decodes Java files as UTF-8 while scanning and editing them. Projects with another source encoding, such as ISO-8859-1, fail with UnicodeDecodeError before the tool can remove any suppressions.

Add --source-encoding ENCODING to select a Python text codec for Java source files. The default remains UTF-8, and the CLI rejects unknown and non-text codecs before scanning. Pass the selected encoding through annotation discovery, line counting, and each edit pass, including passes that restore needed suppressions. Decode source before giving UTF-8 bytes to tree-sitter, then encode edited text back to the selected source encoding.

Use Java line terminators (CR, LF, and CRLF) consistently for source splitting and annotation position mapping. Normalize CR line endings for tree-sitter row positions, while preserving the original line endings when writing files. This also prevents ISO-8859-1's U+0085 control character from being treated as a Java line break.

Document the option with an ISO-8859-1 example. Add CLI tests for default, valid, unknown, and non-text codecs and option forwarding. Add orchestration tests with ISO-8859-1 source containing non-ASCII characters, U+0085, CRLF and CR-only endings; they exercise both restoration and rewriting, then compare the exact output bytes.

Tests:

  • /tmp/nullaway-suppression-remover-venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s tests (120 passed)
  • ./gradlew :nullaway:buildWithNullAway (passed)
  • git diff --check (passed)

Fixes #1893

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The suppression-removal tool supports specifying the encoding of Java source files. UTF-8 remains the default, and other supported encodings can be selected.

Add --source-encoding so the suppression remover can scan and rewrite Java files using a specified Python codec. Keep UTF-8 as the default and preserve source bytes and line endings while editing files.

Cover option parsing and an ISO-8859-1 source file through annotation restoration and rewriting.

Walkthrough

The suppression remover now accepts a configurable source encoding, with UTF-8 as the default. It validates the CLI value and uses the selected encoding to decode source files for annotation scanning and to encode rewritten files. Tests cover CLI validation and forwarding, plus ISO-8859-1 input with CR and CRLF line endings and non-ASCII comments.

Suggested reviewers: yuxincs

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f3f2c

The encoding option and source rewriting appear ready to merge after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3f2c

The change is confined to a local source-editing tool, with no identified new access or privilege boundary. It does extend editing to projects that previously failed during decoding; an interruption during a multi-file edit could leave some changes unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: An interruption during sequential edits can leave an unverified, partially rewritten working tree, including in newly supported source encodings. Controlled build-failure recovery does not cover that interruption path.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new user-selected codec affects Java files reached by the existing local module or project-root workflow; the reviewed change shows no new remote entrypoint or privilege transition.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Codec validation and resolved project-root containment precede core invocation. Neither control is removed by the option.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Stopping the process between sequential writes can leave suppression changes without a confirming build. The evidence does not establish that this bypasses a runtime security control.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider staging edits or providing interruption-safe restoration so a stopped run does not leave a partially verified working tree.

I'll be honest I've never experimented with tree-sitter working on non-unicode sources (locations might be tricky etc.). But from the tests it seems to be working fine so this LGTM :)

Reject non-text codecs at the command line before scanning Java files. Split source only at Java line terminators and normalize CR for tree-sitter row positions, so ISO-8859-1 control characters and CR-only files do not shift annotation or diagnostic locations. Preserve CR-only endings when rewriting multiline annotations.

Add regression coverage for a non-text codec and for an ISO-8859-1 file containing U+0085 and CR-only line endings.
