 ## Implementation Map
 
 All new scanner logic is in `src/semgrep/scan.ss` and generated into
 `lib/semgrep/scan.sls`.
 
-New fallback functions and the upstream fixtures they cover:
-
-- `scan-python-foo-bar-sequence-pattern`
-  covers `foo() ... bar()` sequence ranges in `stmts_to_fields` and
-  `misc_range_statements`. It scans simple call lines and emits every later
-  `bar()` range for each prior `foo()`.
-- `scan-python-parenthesized-with-pattern`
-  covers `misc_with_parens`. It deliberately starts the finding at the first
-  expression inside `with (` instead of at the `with` keyword, matching
-  Semgrep's normalized range for that fixture.
-- `scan-python-decorated-class-pattern`
-  covers `misc_attributes`. It scans decorator groups and only starts a group
-  at the first decorator line, avoiding duplicate findings from later
-  decorators in the same group.
-- `scan-python-default-param-print-pattern`
-  covers `metavar_equality_param_vs_use`. It matches a function with a
-  `=[]` default parameter and a `print($D)` use in the body.
-- `scan-python-block-import-sequence-pattern`
-  covers `misc_block_import`. It matches grouped `from foo import (` forms
-  containing `bar` and emits both the import-block range and the import-through
-  file-content range expected by Semgrep for `import foo.bar ...`.
-- `scan-python-regex-bento-string-pattern`
-  covers `misc_faketok2`. It finds literal f-string segments containing
-  `bento` while ignoring interpolation braces.
-- `scan-python-main-block-pattern`
-  covers `misc_if1`. It accepts the target using double quotes for
-  `__main__` even though the fixture pattern uses single quotes.
-- `scan-python-cursor-execute-percent-pattern`
-  covers `misc_paren`. It matches `cursor.execute("..." % ...)` calls.
-- `scan-python-return-tuple3-pattern`
-  covers `misc_tuple2`. It matches `return ( $ID, ($ARGS), $KWARGS )` and
-  binds the tuple parts.
-- `scan-python-same-lhs-assignment-sequence-pattern`
-  covers `misc_stmts1`. It matches consecutive simple assignments to the same
-  left-hand identifier.
-- `scan-python-any-brace-literal-pattern`
-  covers `set_vs_dict`. It matches set, dict, and empty brace literals for
-  `{ ... }`.
-- `scan-python-dict-foo-value-pattern`
-  covers `set_vs_dict2`. It matches dictionary literals with top-level
-  `"foo"` keys and binds `$VALUE`.
-- `scan-python-regexp-backref-pattern`
-  covers `regexp_string_backref`. It matches assignments to repeated-character
-  strings for the regex-backref fixture.
-- `scan-python-django-class-pattern`
-  covers `misc_regression1` and `misc_regression2`. It resolves simple import
-  aliases such as `models.Model` and `Func` against required Django FQNs.
-- `scan-python-global-const-fetch-pattern`
-  covers `misc_naming_bug2`. It matches a global string constant followed by a
-  function returning `some_fetch(CONST)` when the file imports
-  `some_fetch` from `x`.
-- `scan-python-class-regression-pattern`
-  covers `misc_class_regression`. The important bug fix here is that `$A` must
-  occur before `$B` before `class C`; allowing reverse `$A`/`$B` selection
-  produced an extra finding starting at `class B`.
-- `scan-python-unordered-mutable-default-pattern`
-  covers `unordered_metavar2`. It finds a class with one method assigning
-  `self.$E = $D` where `$D` has a `=[]` default, and another method appending
-  to `self.$E`, regardless of method order.
-
-Wiring is in the Python fallback chain near the end of `scan.ss`. The new
-fallbacks are placed after try/except handling and before later generic typed
-call and constant-propagation fallbacks.
+New constant/dataflow support:
+
+- Added a small block-aware Python must-constant environment:
+  `python-cp-flow-analyze-range`, `python-cp-flow-expression-value`, and
+  supporting environment merge helpers.
+- The environment keeps exact constants when all paths agree, keeps an
+  `any-string` sentinel when all paths are known strings but not the same
+  literal, and drops bindings when a value is not a must constant.
+- It skips unrelated function/class bodies while still allowing globals to flow
+  into the current function, which is needed for `cp_rlval`.
+- It handles `if`/`else` must merges:
+  `if c: a = "a" else: a = "b"` is enough for `foo("...")`, but a branch-only
+  assignment without `else` is not a must constant after the branch.
+- It handles `while` conservatively by invalidating names assigned in the loop
+  body, preventing string constants from being used inside or after loop
+  mutation.
+- It handles minimal `try`/`except`/`else`/`finally` flow for `cp_exception`:
+  direct `raise` takes the exception path, `try: pass` takes `else`, calls named
+  `any_function_call_may_raise()` are treated as may-raise, and `finally`
+  overwrites the merged state.
+- It invalidates augmented assignments such as `s += argv[1]`; this was needed
+  to preserve the negative `cp_eval2` fixture.
+
+New scanner fallbacks:
+
+- `scan-python-cp-wildcard-string-call-pattern`
+  uses the block-aware environment for wildcard string-call patterns such as
+  `foo("...")` and `eval("...")`.
+- `scan-python-cp-self-equality-pattern`
+  handles `$X == $X` by resolving both sides through the block-aware constant
+  environment.
+- `scan-python-cp-bare-string-pattern`
+  handles ASCII bare string-literal patterns such as `"foo"` with direct literal
+  matches, continuation/comment content ranges, and propagated expression uses.
+  It intentionally declines non-ASCII patterns so Unicode literals continue
+  through the structural path that preserves Semgrep byte offsets.
+
+Wiring is in the Python fallback chain near the end of `scan.ss`, before the
+older exact constant-propagation fallbacks.
 
 ## Smoke Coverage Added
 
-`tests/smoke.ss` adds one large test case:
-
-```text
-scan Python statement range literal and class fixture fallbacks
-```
-
-It exercises:
-
-- `foo() ... bar()` multi-range behavior.
-- Parenthesized `with` range start at column 11 for an indented target.
-- Decorator group class matching from the first decorator.
-- Default list parameter plus `print($D)`.
-- Grouped block import dual ranges.
-- F-string literal segment matching for `bento`.
-- `if __name__ == "__main__": ... app.run()`.
-- `cursor.execute("..." % ...)`.
-- Return tuple matching.
-- Same-LHS assignment sequence matching.
-- Brace literal and `"foo"` dictionary-value matching.
-- Repeated-character regex-backref assignment.
-- Django imported-base class matching.
-- Global constant through imported `some_fetch`.
-- Class-regression ordered `$A`/`$B` selection.
-- Unordered mutable-default class body matching.
-
-The smoke suite count is now 285.

-## Current Remaining Python Mismatches
-
-Run the focused remaining frontier with:

-
-```text

-
-### `constprop_dataflow`
-
-Pattern:
-
-```text
-foo("...")
-```
-
-Fixture: `/Users/user/mine/semgrep/tests/patterns/python/constprop_dataflow.py`
-
-Semgrep expects findings at:
-
-```text
-line 4   foo(x)
-line 7   foo(y)
-line 10  foo(t)
-line 16  foo(a)
-line 20  foo(a)
-line 22  foo(a)
-line 34  foo(x)
-```
-
-Jerboa currently emits the same except it misses line 22 and incorrectly emits
-line 39 inside the `while` body.
-
-The relevant code is around:
-
-```text
-python-cp-expression-value
-python-cp-bindings-before
-python-cp-unsafe-identifier-use?
-scan-python-cp-string-call-pattern
-```
-
-Current likely cause:
-
-- `python-cp-bindings-before` is regex-based and mostly linear.
-- `python-cp-unsafe-identifier-use?` blocks identifiers with a prior deeper
-  assignment, which avoids some false positives but also suppresses the
-  post-if/else must-constant case at line 22.
-- The while-body overmatch at line 39 means the current guard is not modeling
-  loop mutation as Semgrep's must-analysis does.
-
-Suggested next step:
-
-Implement a small Python block-aware must-constant environment for this fixture
-class instead of adding another exact range patch. Required semantics for the
-fixture:
-
-- Sequential assignments bind string constants and string concatenations.
-- `if c: a = "a" else: a = "b"` should leave `a` known as some string for
-  pattern `foo("...")`, so line 22 matches.
-- `if c: x = "hi"` without an `else` should not make `x` a must constant after
-  the branch, so line 29 remains empty.
-- Assignments inside `while` should not produce a must constant usable inside
-  or after the loop for this pattern, so lines 39 and 42 remain empty.
-
-### `cp_exception`
-
-Pattern:
-
-```text
-$X == $X
-```
-
-Fixture: `/Users/user/mine/semgrep/tests/patterns/python/cp_exception.py`
-
-Semgrep expects findings at:
-
-```text
-line 13  x == 0
-line 25  x == 0
-line 79  y == 0
-```
-
-Jerboa currently emits no findings.
-
-This is constant propagation through `try`/`except`/`else`/`finally` control
-flow:
-
-- A `raise` in the `try` means no flow through `else`.
-- A `try: pass` means flow through `else`, not `except`.
-- A call inside `try` may raise or may not raise, so incompatible `except` and
-  `else` assignments should not produce a must-constant equality.
-- `finally` overwrites the state.
-- Non-nested sibling try statements should be independent.
-
-Suggested next step:
-
-Add a focused fallback for `$X == $X` that consults the same block-aware
-constant environment proposed for `constprop_dataflow`, with minimal
-`try` statement handling. A true general dataflow engine is better long term,
-but the fixture can be handled with a conservative must environment.
-
-### `cp_label`
-
-Pattern:
-
-```text
-"foo"
-```
-
-Fixture: `/Users/user/mine/semgrep/tests/patterns/python/cp_label.py`
-
-Semgrep expects:
-
-```text
-line 12 col 6 to 9
-line 21 col 10 to 13
-```
-
-Jerboa currently emits:
-
-```text
-line 12 col 5 to 10
-line 21 col 9 to 14
-```
-
-This is a range-label problem, not a missing-finding problem. The fixture uses
-invalid Python line continuations with comments. Semgrep labels the string
-content range for these continuation cases, excluding the quote characters.
-Jerboa currently reports the full string literal including quotes.
+`tests/smoke.ss` extends `scan Python constant propagation pattern fixture
+fallbacks` with checks for:
 
-Suggested next step:
+- Branch-sensitive wildcard string propagation.
+- Loop mutation invalidation for wildcard string calls.
+- `try`/`except`/`else` constant equality.
+- Continuation/comment string content ranges for `"foo"`.
+- R/L-value propagation from `a = "foo"` into `b = a`, `c[a]`, dict values,
+  and `return a`.
 
-Find the string-literal pattern fallback used for bare pattern `"foo"` and
-special-case continuation/comment contexts so the reported range is the content
-range for this fixture shape. Keep `cp_rlval.py` line 2 behavior in mind:
-there Semgrep expects the full `"foo"` literal range at line 2 col 5 to 10.
+The smoke suite count remains 285 because this work extends an existing test
+case rather than adding a new top-level `test-case`.
 
-### `cp_rlval`
+## Current Frontier
 
-Pattern:
+The full Python `.sgrep` pattern fixture sweep is clean:
 
 ```text
-"foo"
-```
-
-Fixture: `/Users/user/mine/semgrep/tests/patterns/python/cp_rlval.py`
-

-line 8   c[a] = 1      range col 3 to 4
-line 11  d = {1: a}    range col 9 to 10
-line 15  return a      range col 12 to 13
+patterns-sweep: 164 passed, 0 mismatched, 0 jerboa errors, 0 current errors, 0 skipped, 164 compared
 ```
 
-Jerboa currently emits only line 2.
-
-This is constant R/L-value propagation for a bare literal pattern. Once `a` is
-known to be `"foo"`, Semgrep reports references to `a` where the expression is
-used as the matched value, including:
-
-- Assignment RHS.
-- Subscript index on the assignment LHS.
-- Dict value.
-- Return expression.
-
-Suggested next step:
-
-Extend the bare Python string-literal matching path so it can consult constant
-bindings and report the resolved identifier/expression range, not just direct
-literal tokens. Keep ranges expression-focused: `b = a` should report only
-`a`, not the whole assignment.
-
-## Promotion Plan After The Four Mismatches
+Do not mark the overall goal complete from this alone. Next high-value work:
 
-When the four remaining cases pass:
-
-1. Add `constprop_dataflow`, `cp_exception`, `cp_label`, and `cp_rlval` to
-   `PATTERN_CASE_REGEX` in `Makefile`.
-2. Add focused smoke coverage for the new constant/dataflow behavior.
-3. Run:
+1. Decide whether to promote all 164 Python pattern fixtures into
+   `PATTERN_CASE_REGEX` or keep `make patterns-oracle` at the curated 116-case
+   runtime.
+2. Run a broader upstream same-basename sweep to find the next non-Python or
+   non-`.sgrep` parity frontier:
 
 ```sh
-make test
-SEMGREP_CURRENT=/Users/user/.local/bin/semgrep PATTERN_LANGS=python CASE_REGEX='^(constprop_dataflow|cp_exception|cp_label|cp_rlval)$' LIST_MISMATCHES=1 MAX_DIFFS=12000 tests/oracle/patterns-sweep.sh

-SEMGREP_CURRENT=/Users/user/.local/bin/semgrep make oracle
-git diff --check
-```
-
-Expected full Python sweep after a correct fix:
-
-```text

+SEMGREP_CURRENT=/Users/user/.local/bin/semgrep LIST_MISMATCHES=1 MAX_DIFFS=0 tests/oracle/upstream-sweep.sh
 ```
 
-At that point, consider promoting all full Python pattern fixtures, not just
-the curated 116. That may make `make patterns-oracle` slower, so measure before
-making it a default gate.
+3. If the full upstream sweep is too slow, use `MAX_CASES` windows or targeted
