Split unit U5 of #1833, under the plan on this issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is U3 (#1913) per the merge order.

Scope (one gate scope): the guard core — createIfAbsent, replaceIfVersion, the cancellation re-check before publication, and the model-facing path on a rejection.

Content source of record: kind: commit, base 7c291bb08 → head 6768ccfaf, replayed on the current main tip 9af61f87e so this branch carries nothing that main already has.

Budget (own delta, not the stacked view): 1277 a+d / 418 changed executable lines. 1277 a+d is above the 1000 hard cap — documented deviation: guardedWrite.ts is a new file and its spec tests that file as a unit, so the file and its tests cannot be separated without breaking the fidelity contract.

Verification at this head: 47 passed; ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every file in the unit; Prettier clean; src/eslint-suppressions.json never increased.

The GitHub view also carries the unmerged base, so the numbers above are this unit's own delta.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • File updates now check whether files have changed since they were read and reject conflicting or unsafe writes. Partial reads are distinguished from complete reads, updates to the same file are processed in order, and successful writes refresh the tracked file state.
    • File writes are staged before publishing, preserve existing permissions, and follow symbolic links to their targets. Failed publishing can trigger rollback, while writes configured to avoid overwriting an existing file are rejected if the target already exists.
    • File-read responses distinguish clipped long lines from omitted lines and report clipping alongside truncation notices.
    • File operations use canonical paths for locking to coordinate access through symbolic links.

Walkthrough

The changes add task-scoped file observations and guarded writes. They also add an atomic text writer, canonicalize file-lock paths, and update JSON writes to use resolved-path locking and publication.

Changes

File observations and safe writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record read observations and completeness
src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts, src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, src/integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader.spec.ts
ObservationRegistry stores file versions and completeness. Native and legacy reads record observations only when pre-read and post-read versions match. Partial, clipped, truncated, or lossy reads are marked incomplete.
Stage and publish files atomically
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts, src/utils/fileLock.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts
safeWriteText stages and syncs content before publication. It supports no-replace commits, backup and rollback, permission preservation, symlink resolution, and platform-specific durability and DACL handling. fileLock uses canonical paths as lock keys while passing the caller’s lexical path to the operation.
Enforce guarded write rules
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts, src/core/task/Task.ts
guardedWrite applies create, edit, and version-check rules from observations. Writes to the same resolved path run in FIFO order, check cancellation and workspace containment, publish under a shared lock, and refresh observations when a version is available.
Use resolved targets for JSON writes
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
safeWriteJson locks and merges against resolved paths, stages JSON beside the publish target, and delegates publication and rollback to safeWriteText. Suppression counts decrease for two rules.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 79271

Creating a new file through a symlinked workspace directory can be refused every time. New-file creation can also fail on volumes without hard-link support, or be reported as failed after the file was already written. These create-path problems should be fixed before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bce5c

A filesystem error can occur after saved permissions have changed, while previously allowed actions remain authorized in memory until a refresh. This conditional risk requires existing authorization and a publication failure; no new remote access or privilege escalation was demonstrated.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The newly introduced committed-but-rejected JSON outcome is not reconciled by MCP permission updates. A POSIX directory-sync failure can occur after the configuration rename; the rejection skips live tool-permission refresh while programmatic-update suppression can discard watcher events. Removing an existing alwaysAllow grant can therefore leave the prior in-memory grant available to automatic approval until another refresh. This requires an existing grant, enabled MCP automatic approval, and the filesystem failure; actual tool execution under this condition was not demonstrated.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The material exposure is local filesystem state and authorization derived from configuration written through the shared JSON utility. MCP updates can affect global or project configuration; task-history persistence also inherits the changed failure contract. The available evidence does not establish cross-tenant exposure or additional operating-system privileges.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A model-requested MCP tool could remain eligible for automatic approval after a saved grant removal if directory synchronization fails after commit and the live permission refresh is skipped. The approval decision consults the supplied server-tool flags and additionally requires global MCP automatic approval. No evidence establishes attacker control of the filesystem failure or demonstrates execution through this conditional path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Read observations follow ignore checks and user approval. Within the new guard, observations authorize mutation scope and detect stale versions; they are not a replacement for path-access authorization or protection against non-cooperating filesystem writers. Existing model-write publication remains outside this new guard boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — With backup mode enabled, a post-commit directory-sync failure leaves new content at the destination and old content at a backup path, because backup deletion is success-only and rollback is pre-commit-only. JSON cleanup does not remove that backup. Backup retention after an unlink failure already existed at the base; this PR adds another retention path without establishing broader read permissions.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Handle committed-but-not-durable outcomes explicitly at security-sensitive callers: reconcile live permissions with the published configuration or suspend automatic approval until reconciliation completes. Give retained backups explicit cleanup and recovery ownership without rolling old content over an already committed update.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

Task adds a concrete cancellation-generation behavior without focused coverage. abortTask() increments cancellationGeneration at src/core/task/Task.ts:3267-3275, and disposal increments it at src/core/task/Task.ts:3351-3360; resumeAfterDelegation() then resets only abort at src/core/task/Task.ts:3463-3471. The guarded-write test only increments a field on a mock task (src/core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts:914-955). It does not verify that the real Task lifecycle increments the generation, including the cancel-then-resume case. Existing Task tests call abort or dispose but do not assert cancellationGeneration (the repository search found no other test reference).

Resolution

Add focused Task-level tests in the existing Task abort/dispose test suites. Assert that cancellationGeneration starts at zero, increments when abortTask() runs, remains advanced after resumeAfterDelegation() clears abort, and increments when dispose() runs. Also assert that repeated cancellation calls advance the generation as intended. Keep the guarded-write mock test for queue behavior, but add at least one test using the real Task lifecycle so the generation wiring is covered.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The new guardedWrite workspace boundary is bypassable through a symlink race. guardedWrite.ts:357-388 authorizes a canonical path, and safeWriteText.ts:294-300 checks expectedResolvedPath only once. The later staging and commit use path strings at safeWriteText.ts:302-346 and 462-484. If an attacker replaces an authorized parent directory with a symlink to an external directory after the check, a create such as workspace/sub/file can stage and publish outside the workspace. This bypasses the workspace allowlist. The unresolved-workspace fallback is also unsafe: guardedWrite.ts:364-372 returns undefined for ENOENT, while safeWriteText.ts:304-305 creates the directory, so a task path whose missing workspace component follows an external symlink can write outside the workspace.

Resolution

Make authorization and publication use the same filesystem object. Reject when the workspace or any parent cannot be resolved, including ENOENT, instead of falling back to lexical authorization. Before publication, open and validate the authorized parent directory and commit relative to that directory with an OS primitive that does not re-resolve mutable path components, or otherwise hold and verify directory identities through the commit. Add regression tests for swapping an authorized parent to an outside symlink after the final containment check and for an unresolved workspace with a symlinked ancestor.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

guardedWrite can replay a write after cancel-then-resume. The function awaits verifyTarget() at lines 467-468, which performs asynchronous fs.realpath calls at lines 364 and 394-412. It captures task.cancellationGeneration only afterward at line 474. If cancellation occurs during that await, abortTask() or dispose() increments the generation at Task.ts lines 3272-3274 and 3358-3360. If the task then resumes, resumeAfterDelegation() resets abort to false at line 3470 without changing the generation. The write then captures the post-cancel generation, passes the dequeue check at lines 483-487, and can publish work from the cancelled run. The existing cancellation test covers a write that captured its generation before cancellation (lines 935-945), not cancellation during the pre-queue verification.

Resolution

Capture task.cancellationGeneration before the first asynchronous operation in guardedWrite. Reject immediately when the task is already aborted. After verifyTarget() completes, compare the captured generation and current abort state before calling enqueue. Add a regression test that pauses fs.realpath, cancels and resumes the task, releases the preflight, and verifies that safeWriteText is not called.

Thanks for contributing. This comment tracks the review sequence and the next action.

Current step: Wait for required CI checks; awaiting-maintainer requires CI and automated review completion.

Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.

…ve (U1, issue 1375)

Split unit U1 of PR 1833. Three changes, each with a test that fails without it:
- a caller-supplied staging path is checked for location and file type before anything is written, so an arbitrary path or a symlink cannot be published onto the target;
- a failed parent-directory fsync on POSIX is reported as PostCommitDurabilityError instead of being swallowed, so a successful return never claims durability the filesystem did not grant;
- the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown.

Focused coverage for resolveLockKey added: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.

…ishTarget (U1, issue 1375)

The resolver may fall back to the given path only when lstat also reports the path as absent. An EACCES or EIO failure says nothing about whether the path is a link, so falling back would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches.
easonLiangWorldedtech added 2 commits October 5, 2026 22:30
… type-sound

compile failed at the unit head on three points:
- RollbackFailureError needs a string backupPath, but the throw now happens after cleanup, so the
  `string | null` narrowing was lost. The failure is now held as { error, backupPath }.
- The async lstat stand-in is built on the Stats prototype so it satisfies fsSync.Stats.
- The realpath/readlink mocks are typed to the real signatures; the readlink mock answers once
  because only the link path is read.

tsc clean, 50 tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean, no suppression change.

The any usage this entry covered is gone in the rewritten file, so the count drops 4 -> 3.
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 confirms it.
The read tools record the observed on-disk version through task.observationRegistry, but the field
was only declared in a later unit, so at this head the call dereferences undefined and the mocked
e2e run fails on the read_file smoke tests. The registry is introduced by this unit, so the field
belongs here.

tsc clean on this unit, 11 observationRegistry tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean.
The two any usages this entry covered are gone in the rewritten spec, so the count drops 98 -> 96.
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 confirms it.

createIfAbsent checked fs.access() under the advisory lock and then published with
safeWriteText, whose commit is fs.rename - which replaces an existing destination on
POSIX. The advisory lock only serializes writers that take it, so any other filesystem
writer could create the target inside the check-to-commit gap and have its newer file
silently displaced. A second access check would leave the same race.

safeWriteText gains failIfExist: the commit becomes link(2), the only atomic no-replace
publish - it fails EEXIST for an existing name and does not follow a symlink placed at
that name - and the staged copy is removed once the name points at it. A collision
raises TargetExistsError, which createIfAbsent turns into the same read-first
GuardRejectedError the pre-check produces. replaceIfVersion keeps the replacing rename,
because replacement is what that path intends.

Tests: safeWriteText covers both commit shapes (link when absent, EEXIST refusal with the
staged copy cleaned up and nothing replaced); guardedWrite covers the race where the
absence check passes and the commit itself collides.

Local: core/tools + core/task + services/file-safety + utils lanes 2135 passed / 7 skipped

Pushed 3530e1ff2 — Persistence Integrity fixed.

Root cause. createIfAbsent checked fs.access() under the advisory lock and then published through safeWriteText, whose commit is fs.rename — which replaces an existing destination on POSIX. The advisory lock only serializes writers that take it (the guard's own comment says so), so any other filesystem writer could create the target inside the check-to-commit gap and have its newer file silently displaced. A second fs.access() would leave the same race, as you noted.

Fix. safeWriteText gains failIfExist. The commit becomes link(2) — the only atomic no-replace publish: it fails EEXIST for an existing name and does not follow a symlink placed at that name — and the staged copy is removed once the name points at it. A collision raises TargetExistsError, which createIfAbsent turns into the same read-first GuardRejectedError the pre-check produces, so the model-facing remediation is unchanged. replaceIfVersion keeps the replacing rename, because replacement is what that path intends.

This also closes the symlink variant of the hole for the create case: a link placed at the target name in the gap makes the commit fail EEXIST instead of being written through.

Tests. safeWriteText: (1) failIfExist with an absent target commits via link, never rename, and drops the staged copy; (2) failIfExist with a target that appeared → TargetExistsError carrying the path, rename never called, staged copy cleaned up. guardedWrite: the absence check passes but the commit collides → the read-first verdict, with the publish requested as { failIfExist: true }.

Still open: the Security Boundaries TOCTOU for the replace path (verifyTarget() authorizes one resolution, safeWriteText resolves again). Pinning the authorized target (no-follow parent handle / re-verify against the pinned handle) plus the swap-after-verifyTarget regression test is the remaining piece.

Local: core/tools + core/task + services/file-safety + utils lanes 2135 passed / 7 skipped across 119 files; eslint clean on all four files; tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline.

assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace decided containment on one resolution of the path and
threw the result away; safeWriteText then resolved the same path again for its commit.
A local process that swapped an in-workspace symlink to point outside the workspace
between those two resolutions had the write follow the new target, so the containment
decision was about a file that was never published to.

The containment check now returns the canonical target it authorized, and both publish
paths pass it to safeWriteText as expectedResolvedPath. safeWriteText compares its own
resolution against the authorized value before it stages anything and fails closed with
TargetMovedError when they differ, carrying both paths.

Tests: safeWriteText refuses a publish whose path no longer resolves to the authorized
target (no staging, no rename, no link); the guard-level test pins that the authorized
canonical path is forwarded to the publish.

Pushed 792715199 — Security Boundaries fixed, which clears the last item on this PR.

Root cause. assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace decided containment from one resolution of the path and then threw that resolution away; safeWriteText resolved the same path again for its commit. A local process that swapped an in-workspace symlink to point outside the workspace between those two resolutions had the write follow the new target — the containment decision was about a file that was never published to.

Fix. The containment check now returns the canonical target it authorized, and both publish paths forward it to safeWriteText as expectedResolvedPath. safeWriteText compares its own resolution against the authorized value before it stages anything and fails closed with TargetMovedError (carrying authorizedPath and resolvedPath) when they differ. Together with the failIfExist commit from 3530e1ff2, the create case is additionally protected by link(2) refusing an existing name.

Tests. safeWriteText: a publish whose path no longer resolves to the authorized target rejects with TargetMovedError — nothing staged (mkdir not called), no rename, no link. Guard layer: the containment test now pins that the authorized canonical path (/real/workspace/nested/in.txt) is forwarded to the publish, so the wiring itself is covered at the lowest layer that could regress.

All four Pre-merge items on this PR are now addressed: Lifecycle + Regression Evidence (cancellation generation, 558202f56), Persistence Integrity (atomic no-replace link commit, 3530e1ff2), Security Boundaries (target pinning, 792715199).

Local: core/tools + core/task + services/file-safety + utils lanes 2136 passed / 7 skipped across 119 files; eslint clean on all four files; tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline.

Review comments at @src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:
- Around line 379-388: Align absent-target resolution in resolvePublishTarget
with the canonical nearest-ancestor path returned by
assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace, so createIfAbsent passes a pin that
safeWriteText accepts for creates through symlinked ancestors. Preserve
containment checks and existing-target update behavior, and add filesystem tests
for a symlinked-ancestor create and an existing-target update.

Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:
- Around line 1179-1206: Move the no-replace commit test for `safeWriteText`
into the `describe("safeWriteText")` block so it receives that suite’s mock
setup, or give it a dedicated `beforeEach` that calls `mockDefaults()` and
configures `openSync`. Ensure the test passes when run alone without relying on
mock state left by other tests.

Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Around line 469-475: In the no-replace commit path, keep `fs.link` as the
primary operation and, for unsupported-hard-link errors, fall back to
`fs.copyFile` with exclusive creation. Map `EEXIST` from either operation to
`TargetExistsError`, rethrow other errors, and document that the copy fallback
is not atomic for readers.
- Around line 476-480: In safeWriteText, mark the write committed as soon as
fs.link publishes the target, then make removal of the temporary link
best-effort so an unlink failure does not report a published write as failed;
keep the rename path’s commit behavior unchanged.

Review comments at @src/utils/fileLock.ts:
- Around line 27-47: Update canonicalLockPath to produce the same lock key as
resolveLockKey for a dangling file symlink, resolving the link target before
falling back to the ancestor walk. Change only lock-key canonicalization; keep
withFileLock’s operation path unchanged.

…e at the commit edge

Five review findings on the no-replace publish, all at the same commit edge:

- An absent target resolved lexically while the guard pins the canonical
  nearest-ancestor path (guardedWrite#realpathNearest). A guarded create through a
  symlinked ancestor therefore aborted with TargetMovedError although nothing moved.
  resolvePublishTarget now canonicalizes the nearest existing ancestor and re-appends
  the missing components, the same rule the pin is produced with.
- link(2) is the no-replace commit, but FAT32/exFAT and some SMB mounts have no hard
  links (EPERM/ENOTSUP/ENOSYS) and every guarded create failed there. Fall back to
  copyFile with COPYFILE_EXCL: the EEXIST verdict is unchanged, and the documented
  limit is that the copy is not atomic the way link(2) is.
- The staged name was unlinked before the write was marked committed. An antivirus
  handle on Windows makes that unlink fail with EBUSY/EPERM after the target already
  exists, so the model was told the create failed and its retry hit 'already exists'
  for content it had written. Mark the commit first and remove the staged name on a
  best-effort basis.
- canonicalLockPath resolved a dangling file symlink to <canonicalDir>/<link name>
  while resolveLockKey walks readlink to the referent, so a raw withFileLock caller
  and a safeWriteJson peer stopped excluding each other during a backup-mode commit.
  The lock path now walks the referent too, bounded against a link cycle.
- The no-replace EEXIST test sat outside any describe, so it only passed because of
  the previous test's mock state; it now lives next to its success case and passes
  standalone (vitest -t).

Pins: lexical fallback fails the symlinked-ancestor test; a strict unlink fails the
EBUSY test; removing the fallback branch fails the ENOTSUP test.

Local: services/file-safety + core/tools + utils = 1452 passed / 7 skipped; tsc 50
(unchanged baseline); eslint 0 err / 0 warn on all five touched files.

…he authorized directory chain

Security Boundaries: the workspace boundary was decided on a canonical path, but the
publish resolved the path again and only compared the resulting NAME
(expectedResolvedPath). Two gaps followed. (1) An ENOENT on the workspace realpath fell
back to the lexical-only decision - the exact decision a symlink defeats. (2) Nothing
pinned the DIRECTORIES the decision walked, so a parent swapped for a link to outside
the workspace kept the same target name and the same resolved path, and the commit
followed the new link.

Now: any workspace realpath failure (ENOENT included) is refused - no canonical root
means no containment decision, so the write is not published on a weaker guarantee.
The check also records the (dev, ino) identity of every existing directory between the
canonical workspace root and the target's parent. The guard re-validates that pin under
the lock, immediately before the publish, and safeWriteText re-validates it again at
Step 2b, right before the backup rename and the commit, so a replaced or vanished
ancestor aborts the commit (AncestorReplacedError) instead of writing through the new
link. Node has no descriptor-relative rename, so a swap landing after that last check
and before the rename is not eliminable here; the window is narrowed from the whole
guard to the commit itself, and the comment on the option says so.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup: the cancellation generation was captured after the
containment awaits. A cancel landing inside those awaits - then a resume - left the
write holding the POST-cancel generation, so the dequeue comparison passed and the
cancelled run's content published. The generation is now captured before the first
await, and an already-aborted task is refused before any filesystem work.

Regression Evidence: Task-level coverage for the generation contract the guard depends
on - starts at zero, advances on abortTask(), stays advanced across
resumeAfterDelegation() clearing abort, advances again on a second cancel, and advances
on dispose() with no explicit cancel.

Tests: 5 new guardedWrite cases (ENOENT workspace refused; ancestor identities pinned;
parent swapped after the check refused; already-cancelled task refused before any
containment work; cancel landing inside the pre-publish check refused), 3 new
safeWriteText cases (replaced ancestor aborts the commit and cleans the staged copy;
unchanged identities publish normally; vanished ancestor aborts the commit), 2 new Task
cases. The suite default now resolves the fixture workspace (identity realpath) instead
of relying on the ENOENT fallback, so every guardedWrite test runs the canonical path.

Local: 293 passed across guardedWrite / safeWriteText / Task.dispose / Task.spec, plus
152 passed across safeWriteJson / safeWriteJson.lockKey / fileLock / safeWriteText /
guardedWrite. Negative controls, each mutate -> FAIL -> restore -> PASS: ancestor check
neutered in safeWriteText (3 fail); ENOENT lexical fallback restored (workspace test

…ft behind

The mechanical rewrite of the publish assertions left `failIfExist: true` twice in six
object literals. TypeScript rejects a duplicate key in an object literal (TS1117),
so the required `compile` check (pnpm run check-types in src) failed on the branch
while every unit test still passed. One key per literal; assertions unchanged.
Port of the Zoo-Code-Org#1917 fix into this unit: the unit branches are not cumulative, so this
branch carries its own copy of safeWriteText's lock-key helper and the same defect.

canonicalDirKey() canonicalized only the immediate parent and fell back to that literal
spelling on ENOENT. A writer whose parent directory already existed canonicalized through
a symlinked ancestor (or a Windows short name) while a writer racing to create the same
directory got the literal path, so the two took different locks for one file and a
read-modify-write lost one side. It now walks up to the nearest ancestor that exists,
canonicalizes that, and re-joins the missing components; a realpath failure that is not
ENOENT is propagated instead of being papered over with a key that may be wrong.

Identifiers and comments are kept identical to the other units so the merge resolves
trivially.
Port of the Zoo-Code-Org#1918 Security Boundaries fix into this unit's copy of the guard (the unit
branches are not cumulative).

realpathNearest() walked up to the nearest existing ancestor and re-joined the lexical
names of the components above it. ENOENT cannot tell a directory that has not been
created yet from a component that EXISTS as a symlink whose referent is gone, so a
dangling link in the middle of the path was authorized as if it were a missing directory:
the containment check passed on the re-joined lexical path and the publish then created
the file wherever the link pointed. The walk now lstats each missing component and refuses
a link that does not resolve.
