Patch Bridge: Closing the Detection-to-Remediation Gap in CVE Lifecycle Management

Existing vulnerability scanners stop at detection. Patch Bridge closes the gap from disclosure to verified remediation through reachability analysis, formal soundness proofs, and automated mitigation synthesis. Extends the panic-attack static analysis framework with three contributions: (1) reachability-filtered CVE triage that eliminates false positives by proving whether vulnerable code paths are actually exercised, (2) a formal model of mitigation soundness using Idris2 dependent types, and (3) a PanLL panel for human-in-the-loop adoption gating.
