Split unit U9 of #1833, under the plan on this issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is U6 (#1916) per the merge order.

Scope (one gate scope): the task-history delete path — it locks the same canonical key every other writer to the file uses, so an alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel.

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): 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines. Inside both caps.

Verification at this head: 14 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 reads now identify clipped lines separately from lines omitted by truncation.
    • File edits and writes check that files still match what was read, helping prevent unintended changes to newer or partially viewed content.
    • Incomplete reads or files that change during reading are treated as partial when checking edits.
    • File updates are published atomically, with existing file permissions preserved.
    • JSON writes can be restricted to a specified directory.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Writes through symlink aliases use consistent locking and publish to the resolved file.
    • Task history items are preserved when file removal fails, and failed deletions are reported.
    • Rejected file edits no longer leave unintended changes in the editor buffer.

Walkthrough

The PR adds task-scoped file observations and guarded writes that compare observed versions before publication. File tools and diff saves use these guards. Reads track completeness, text and JSON writes use resolved targets, and task-history deletion reports failed removals.

Changes

File write safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record file observations and read completeness
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, related tests
Tasks now track observed file versions and completeness. Stable reads record observations. Read results distinguish complete content from partial, clipped, truncated, or lossily decoded content.
Apply observation-based write guards
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditTool.ts, src/core/tools/SearchReplaceTool.ts, src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts, related tests
Guarded writes serialize by resolved path, check file presence or observed versions, and enforce completeness rules. File tools pass create or edit guard kinds. Patch moves check source and destination observations.
Guard diff-view publication and cleanup
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts
Diff saves publish through guarded writes. Rejected saves handle verified already-published content or clean up the rejected edit and placeholder. Teardown and diff closure are serialized and scoped to the provider.
Add atomic text publication
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText*
safeWriteText resolves publish targets, validates staging paths, preserves target modes, and syncs staged content before commit. Optional backups and platform-specific handling surround publication.
Resolve JSON writes and task-history deletion
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*, src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, related tests
safeWriteJson checks optional path confinement and uses resolved targets for locks, merge reads, and publication. Task-history deletion retains failed items, reports failures, and cleans artifacts for successfully deleted tasks.

Paused task request loop

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update paused request-loop behavior
src/core/task/Task.ts
The request loop now pushes the next stack item when user content exists or the task is paused. Paused tasks with no user content push an empty item.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b1856

A partially failed task deletion can leave artifacts behind if updating state also fails. The remaining test and typing issues are bounded; address them before merging if practical.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e787e

Version checks and canonical locking improve write safety, but atomic replacement can weaken existing Windows file permissions. Permissions are restored only after publication, and restoration failures are ignored. In directories accessible to other accounts, a previously restricted file could become readable or writable by those accounts.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: New atomic text publication does not preserve Windows access restrictions throughout the transition. The replacement file is renamed into place before the original DACL is restored. Failed DACL capture skips restoration, and failed restoration is swallowed. If staging inherits broader permissions than the original target, other local or shared-directory principals can gain read or write access during this window; interruption or restoration failure can leave that exposure persistent despite a successful return. The merge-base direct-save path wrote the existing file without replacing its security descriptor.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The permission-drift concern reaches existing Windows files published through the shared text primitive, including approved direct tool edits. Its independently attackable scope is the affected files accessible to another principal under the replacement DACL; no remote, cross-tenant, or privilege-escalation reachability was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — For a target whose explicit DACL is narrower than its directory's inherited permissions, replacement can expose content before restoration. A principal newly permitted by that DACL can read or modify the file without controlling the tool request. Failed restoration can leave the broader access in place; the tests explicitly expect publication to succeed despite capture or restoration failure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The owning task's observation registry supplies publication authority. The guard rejects absent edit authority, checks cancellation before publication, and compares versions under a canonical advisory lock. Its documented atomicity guarantee applies to writers participating in that lock protocol, not arbitrary external filesystem writers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Without a prior task observation, ApplyDiff can derive content from one read while the preview records a newer token. The guard can then accept earlier-derived content against that newer token. Existing observations prevent this substitution, and unobserved direct edits reject. The same inter-read overwrite exposure existed in the merge-base unguarded save flow, so it is a remaining limitation rather than an introduced concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make Windows permission preservation a pre-commit requirement: restrict staging before writing sensitive bytes, apply and verify the intended DACL before publication, and abort without replacing the original when that guarantee cannot be established.
  • proposed — Bind edit publication to the stat-matched read used to derive its content, rather than permitting a later preview read to supply that identity.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The changed Task.recursivelyMakeClineRequests branch lacks focused coverage. The diff changes the continuation condition to push an empty stack item when this.isPaused is true (src/core/task/Task.ts:4696-4708). Repository search found no isPaused use in tests, and the existing request-continuation tests in src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts do not exercise this paused, empty-content case. This leaves the new control-flow behavior unverified.

Resolution

Add a focused Task.spec.ts regression test that sets isPaused while userMessageContent is empty and verifies the intended continuation behavior. Include a non-paused, empty-content control case. If this state is not meant to be set by callers, remove the unused isPaused branch and property instead.

…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.

… 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.
easonLiangWorldedtech added 2 commits October 5, 2026 23:12
U6's ApplyPatchTool calls saveChanges with the writeKind argument, so the parameter must exist
before U6 can build. U8 owns that signature, so U8 now lands before U6.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, Windows DACL preservation uses a documented fallback that permits publication when `icacls /save` fails or the DACL check through `fs.access` fails with an error other than `ENOENT`. These failures must be reported through the `onWarning` sink, not silently ignored. The fallback does not require aborting the write.

The claimed interleaving does not occur through the normal tool path. saveChanges restores the observation and immediately calls guardedWrite without yielding. A read that completes while the guarded write is queued updates the registry after the restore; guardedWrite reads the entry when its queued callback runs. Same-task tool calls are serialized, and another task has a separate registry. The stale-observation rejection described in the comment is not established.

when the prior entry is on the same version, preserving the completeness the model earned.
A prior entry on an older version is left alone, so content built from a stale read cannot
pass the save's compare-and-swap.

Also repairs the interleaved confinement comment in safeWriteJson and the confineTo doc,
which still described only the in-lock check while the code also checks before the lock and
before any parent directory is created.
TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany attempts every id and reports the ones it could NOT remove in
one TaskHistoryDeleteError. deleteTaskWithId let that error escape, so the ids that WERE
removed stayed in the recent-task cache and in the posted webview state, and their shadow
repositories and task directories were never cleaned up - the UI kept listing tasks the
store no longer has.

The provider now catches TaskHistoryDeleteError, invalidates the recent-task cache, posts
state, and removes the artifacts of the ids the error does not list, then rethrows so the
caller still sees the batch failure. The artifact loop moved into removeTaskArtifacts so
both paths share it.

New spec ClineProvider.partialTaskDelete.spec.ts covers the partial case, the success case,
and the all-failed case (no artifacts cleaned up). Control: disabling the cleanup fails
exactly the partial and all-failed tests.

All three findings addressed in b3530d2a4 (partial batch-delete cleanup, observation-refresh rule, comment/doc repair).

Local: core/webview + core/task-persistence + core/tools + safeWriteJson + services/file-safety = 76 files / 1571 passed, 9 skipped; the only 3 failures are the pre-existing blanket auto-deny getState cases in ClineProvider.spec.ts, which this unit does not touch. eslint clean on every edited file.

CI check-types rejected the new spec: removeTaskArtifacts is private on ClineProvider, so
the test double must reach it as provider["removeTaskArtifacts"] rather than as a property
access (the pattern AGENTS.md prescribes for private members; the class surface stays
unwidened for tests).

CI follow-up in 2edde3cb0: compile rejected the new spec with 4 × TS2341 — removeTaskArtifacts is private, so the double now reaches it as provider["removeTaskArtifacts"] (bracket notation, per AGENTS.md; the class surface stays unwidened).

The platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) failure (ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts > keeps directory cleanup and parent restoration when the child history lock failure is swallowed) is being investigated separately: it reproduces locally on this branch and at the previous head 7f67d9e05, so it is not introduced by these commits.

The misc-lane failure (ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts > keeps directory cleanup and parent
restoration when the child history lock failure is swallowed) is not reachable from these
commits: the delegation spec lives in the misc group (__tests__/**), which does not include
core/**, and the only files this branch adds there are a comment in utils/safeWriteJson.ts
and a new spec under core/webview/__tests__ (core group). The same spec passes on the
sibling branches Zoo-Code-Org#1916 and Zoo-Code-Org#1918 at their current heads, which carry the identical
ApplyDiffTool change. Re-running the lane to confirm.
The misc-lane regression was caused by the previous commit's refactor, not by the partial
batch handling itself: the artifact loop became a PRIVATE METHOD, and
ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts invokes ClineProvider.prototype.deleteTaskWithId against a
stub `this`. The method lookup returned undefined, the rollback threw, and the child task
directory was never removed (on Linux the swallowed error also changed the surfaced
outcome).

removeTaskArtifacts is now a module-level function taking (taskIds, globalStorageDir,
workspaceDir), so it needs nothing from the receiver. The partial-batch spec asserts real
directories instead of stubbing the helper: the successful id's directory is gone, the
failed id's survives, and the all-failed case removes nothing.

ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts passes again (23/23, two runs); the partial-batch spec
passes 3/3; eslint clean.

Root cause of the platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) failure found and fixed in b1856e78f — it was not flaky.

The refactor in b3530d2 turned the artifact loop into a private method. ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts > keeps directory cleanup and parent restoration when the child history lock failure is swallowed calls ClineProvider.prototype.deleteTaskWithId against a stub this, so this.removeTaskArtifacts was undefined: the rollback threw, the child task directory was never removed, and on Linux the swallowed error also changed the surfaced outcome ("promise resolved instead of rejecting").

removeTaskArtifacts is now a module-level function (taskIds, globalStorageDir, workspaceDir) that needs nothing from the receiver, and the new spec asserts real task directories instead of stubbing the helper.

Local: ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts 23/23 (two runs — it failed before this commit), ClineProvider.partialTaskDelete.spec.ts 3/3, core/webview + core/task-persistence 778 passed with only the 3 pre-existing local blanket auto-deny getState cases failing. eslint clean.

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T09:38:39.308Z
Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

In the TaskHistoryDeleteError branch the state post ran before the artifact cleanup. If
getStateToPostToWebview() rejected, deleteTaskWithId left that branch early: the ids
deleteMany had already removed from the store kept their shadow checkpoint repositories and
task directories on disk, and the caller received the state error instead of the batch error
that describes what actually happened.

Cleanup now runs first and the post is best-effort (logged), so the batch error is what the
caller sees.

Test: with postStateToWebview rejecting, task-1's directory is still removed, task-2's (the
id deleteMany could not remove) survives, and the rejection is the TaskHistoryDeleteError
itself. Control: restoring the old order fails exactly that test with the state error
surfacing.

Also drops four unjustified "as unknown as void" double assertions in the apply_diff guarded
write spec - execute returns Promise<void>, so the casts added nothing.

Both findings addressed in 06f7b999f (inline replies above).

Local: partial-delete spec 4/4, apply_diff guarded-write spec 7/7, ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts 23/23, tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean on all three touched files. Control for the ordering fix fails exactly the new test.
