Sharp Edges Analysis

Evaluates whether APIs, configurations, and interfaces are resistant to developer misuse. Identifies designs where the "easy path" leads to insecurity.

When to Use

• Reviewing API or library design decisions
• Auditing configuration schemas for dangerous options
• Evaluating cryptographic API ergonomics
• Assessing authentication/authorization interfaces
• Reviewing any code that exposes security-relevant choices to developers

When NOT to Use

• Implementation bugs (use standard code review)
• Business logic flaws (use domain-specific analysis)
• Performance optimization (different concern)

Core Principle

The pit of success: Secure usage should be the path of least resistance. If developers must understand cryptography, read documentation carefully, or remember special rules to avoid vulnerabilities, the API has failed.

Rationalizations to Reject

Rationalization	Why It's Wrong	Required Action
"It's documented"	Developers don't read docs under deadline pressure	Make the secure choice the default or only option
"Advanced users need flexibility"	Flexibility creates footguns; most "advanced" usage is copy-paste	Provide safe high-level APIs; hide primitives
"It's the developer's responsibility"	Blame-shifting; you designed the footgun	Remove the footgun or make it impossible to misuse
"Nobody would actually do that"	Developers do everything imaginable under pressure	Assume maximum developer confusion
"It's just a configuration option"	Config is code; wrong configs ship to production	Validate configs; reject dangerous combinations
"We need backwards compatibility"	Insecure defaults can't be grandfather-claused	Deprecate loudly; force migration

1. Algorithm/Mode Selection Footguns

APIs that let developers choose algorithms invite choosing wrong ones.
