🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Interactive readline() prompts for boolean choices used a weak regular expression (^[0-9]+$). This allowed out-of-bounds large integer inputs which, when coerced via as.integer(), resulted in NA instead of numerical values. This broke subsequent if condition execution, creating a Denial of Service crash.
🎯 Impact: Exploiting this bug would crash the interactive session or script during parameter calibration input queries, disrupting the workflow.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced the unbounded ^[0-9]+$ regex with a strictly bounded menu expectation: ^[12]$. Added coverage in test-autoFIPC.R.
βœ… Verification: Verified all unit tests and specific security regex unit tests executed using pkgload and testthat.

πŸ” Prompt tests bypass production code

These assertions duplicate the regex instead of invoking autoFIPC(). They can pass after a prompt diverges and reintroduces the coercion failure.
