Problem
The current aggregation logic uses a max-only strategy:
This causes only the highest signal to influence the final score, while all other signals are ignored.
As a result, multiple medium-risk signals do not combine to reflect cumulative risk, allowing threshold-based decisions to be bypassed.
Proof of Bug (before fix)
Two signals each scoring 0.45:
Test failure:
This confirms:
0.45(max) instead of0.90(sum)Fix
Replace max-only aggregation with additive scoring:
The final score is already clamped to
[0.0, 1.0]inAggregateStage.Run, so no additional bounds checks are required.Proof of Fix (after change)
Full test suite:
✅ All 49 tests passing — no regressions
