| privacy:javascript [2026/08/12 10:05] – Review pass (Fable): fix stale figures that sat OUTSIDE the corpus section and so were missed by the windowed staleness guard. The embedded js_fold.mjs docstring still quoted the 4,322-corpus counts (959/1,063, LLVM 66, Esprima 15) two screens below the t karel.kubicek.claude | privacy:javascript [2026/08/12 15:45] (current) – Methodology section: replaced the generic corpus caveats (absent venues, provisional 2025-2026) with a pointer to the new literature:corpus page, keeping the page-specific consequence.

| * **Seven venues only.** CCS, IMC, NDSS, PETS, USENIX Security, TheWebConf, IEEE S&P, 2010–2026, with 2025 and 2026 provisional. **EuroS&P, ACSAC, RAID, AsiaCCS, CHI and SOUPS are absent entirely** — for this topic ACSAC and EuroS&P are a real hole, since a good deal of web-script security work lands there. Every claim here is a claim about those seven venues. | * **Seven venues only**, 2010–2026, with 2025 and 2026 provisional. Which venues, which years, what each stage of the selection funnel costs and which venue-years are empty are on [[literature:corpus]] and are not restated here.

| * **206 is a floor, and it has a false-positive tail.** Papers whose extraction never names a script as the object of detection are missing; conversely a handful of papers in the population (an e-voting client audit, a router-attack paper, a PHP injection-sink study) analyse JavaScript incidentally. The report script prints the full list so you can judge. | * **206 is a floor, and it has a false-positive tail.** Papers whose extraction never names a script as the object of detection are missing; conversely a handful of papers in the population (an e-voting client audit, a router-attack paper, a PHP injection-sink study) analyse JavaScript incidentally.

| * **Not every field can carry a percentage.** ''crawlConfig.*'', ''legal.law'' and ''platforms'' reproduce to within a few points on a repeat extraction and carry the figures here. ''classification.method'' agrees on only **58%** of papers between two runs of the same schema over the same text, so its table above is a **rough share, not a precise figure** — a repeat extraction moves those rows. ''detection.phenomenon'', ''classification.resourceName'' and ''groundTruthSource'' agree on roughly 20% of exact strings, which is what the folding is for and why the family and ground-truth tables print their residue. | * **Not every field can carry a percentage.** ''crawlConfig.*'', ''legal.law'' and ''platforms'' reproduce to within a few points on a repeat extraction and carry the figures here.

| * **Silence is not absence.** "Does not state whether it ran headless" means the paper did not say. These are reporting figures, not practice figures. | * **Silence is not absence.** "Does not state whether it ran headless" means the paper did not say.

| * **Every quoted figure was checked against the paper's own text.** The prevalence values in the extraction are model summaries, so each number reproduced on this page was re-located in ''paper.cols.txt'' after whitespace normalisation. The dataset's own "0.9% of quotes cannot be located" figure was measured on the earlier 4,322-paper run and has not been re-measured. | * **Every quoted figure was checked against the paper's own text.** The prevalence values in the extraction are model summaries, so each number reproduced on this page was re-located in ''paper.cols.txt'' after whitespace normalisation.
