Last time I wrote about wiring up a security gate that blocks merges in CI with Synapse. Someone left a comment that hit the exact sore spot:
"The gate is the easy part. Two weeks in, the team turns it off because it's red over false positives every single time."
Yep. A gate that cries wolf too often dies on its own. People start hitting "merge anyway," and by the time a real vulnerability shows up, nobody's looking anymore.
The obvious 2020s fix is to hand the whole pile to an LLM and say "delete the junk." Except: the moment a security tool lets an AI delete findings, you've just built a brand new vulnerability. The model guesses wrong once, a real SQL injection quietly drops off the report, and nobody's the wiser.
So Synapse does it differently. The AI is allowed to propose that a finding is a false positive. It is never allowed to confirm that on its own, and it is never allowed to delete anything. This whole post is a real run. Terminal output at the bottom, nothing faked.
