Closes #1948

Description

Restore bounded multi-file reading through the companion read_files native tool. This reduces intervening model/tool turns for already-known independent paths without introducing parallel dispatch or changing the Sol/Codex Responses Lite single-call constraint.

  • Accept 1–10 modern per-file entries with independent slice/indentation options and strict-provider-compatible nullable optional fields.
  • Reuse the modern single-file reader with sequential internal processing. Preserve ordinary single-file calls and legacy conversation routing.
  • Perform access/ignore checks and ordinary approval independently for every entry. Approval of one file does not authorize another; rejection, cancellation, or withdrawn approval stops remaining reads while preserving completed results.
  • Bound the aggregate model-facing output using available context, reserved model output, the existing safety margin, pending results, bounded metadata, and a defensive 64 KiB ceiling. Explicit line limits and extracted documents cannot bypass the batch budget.
  • Return every entry in stable request order, including successful, clipped, denied, blocked, missing/unreadable, unsupported, cancelled, and budget-exhausted results. Keep UTF-8 boundaries and whole-line continuation semantics.
  • Support source text and extracted documents. Explicitly reject batch images/unsupported binary formats; ordinary single-file image handling remains available.
  • Isolate file-reading implementation and tests in a feature module. Share native per-file schema directly between tools while keeping their descriptions independent; keep runtime limits independent from native tool definitions.
  • Create/inject reader instances at their usage boundaries instead of exporting shared instances. Remove four obsolete production lint suppressions and carry the relocated legacy test's existing counts unchanged.

This aligns with reliability-first exploration and provider-dependent reduction of model round trips, not a claim of faster disk I/O.

Test Procedure

Validated again in a clean worktree based on upstream main, excluding the six unrelated commits from the original working branch:

  • 731 extension/backend regression tests passed across 41 suites, including native schema and independence, streaming/final parsing, modern/legacy execution, budget and UTF-8 clipping, approval/cancellation, mentions, Codex Lite, and NanoGPT compatibility.
  • All 458 shared-type package tests passed.
  • 33 focused webview/chat tests passed on the upstream baseline, including approval-row range navigation and outside-workspace presentation.
  • Workspace package builds passed.
  • Extension, shared-type, and webview type checks passed; the pre-push hook also passed the monorepo type-check task.
  • The normal pre-commit hook passed formatting and the monorepo lint task; hooks were not bypassed.
  • Staged diff whitespace checks passed. No new lint suppression counts were introduced.

Environment: macOS, Node 24.7.0, pnpm 10.8.1. The repository requests Node 22.23.1; local commands emitted the engine warning but passed. CI should validate the declared runtime.

To reproduce the central feature coverage, run package-local Vitest for the file-reading feature directory, native tool/parser suites, and the Codex provider suite; run all tests in the shared-types package and the focused read-file approval/chat suites in the webview package.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Issue linked: [ENHANCEMENT] Restore bounded multi-file reading in a single native tool call #1948.
  • Scope: one bounded native file-reading feature; unrelated branch commits and local editor/research changes are excluded.
  • Self-review: implementation and design were reviewed iteratively, including approval boundaries, module ownership, and strict-schema independence.
  • Testing: focused regressions and package tests added and executed.
  • Documentation impact considered and implementation/limitations documented.
  • Contribution guidelines read.
  • Visual snapshot: not applicable; no rendered UI/layout changes. The existing single-file approval UI is reused and covered by focused UI tests.

Documentation Updates

Added an architecture note covering the native contract, interruption policy, aggregate-budget semantics, narrower image support, and reproducible local comparison.

Additional Notes

  • If context cannot fit the reserved envelope, no files are approved or opened; every entry still receives a bounded content-free status manifest. The absolute output ceiling remains in force.
  • The local known-path comparison verifies equivalent source lines and one batch tool-request turn versus two single-file turns on a single-call provider. Returned output was 553 bytes versus 388 bytes in the recorded run, illustrating metadata overhead. No paid/network model benchmark was performed; real whole-task latency and model-induced retry rates remain unmeasured, and no fixed speedup is claimed.
  • Source/document loading retains the existing reader's local memory behavior; the new bound concerns the model-facing result.
  • Implementation and refactoring were AI-assisted with iterative author-directed review. No changeset or release changelog entry was generated.

Autonomous verification update

Latest audited feature head: 3fa7910. It contains the reader foundation from #1950. On Node 22.23.1 the full monorepo test command completed successfully (13/13 tasks), including 9,787 extension tests and 1,893 webview tests; the seven existing file-read smoke scenarios and the new single-call native batch scenario passed in the real VS Code 1.100.0 extension host with a mock provider. Full lifecycle/parser/delegation model checks and MCP OAuth integration checks also passed locally. The compile prerequisite issue is fixed with a tested runtime-types build step, without disabling any check.

Stack access blocker: the upstream target still cannot be retargeted to the fork-only foundation branch. A maintainer must create the upstream base ref or merge #1950 through the normal process. The prepared separate extension diffs are 408 lines for the foundation and 301 lines for this feature; the combined comparison against main continues to exceed the unchanged 500-line scope gate. No scope exclusions or manual review-state label edits were added. CI and CodeRabbit completion are not inferred from local tests or a skipped-review status.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a native tool for reading up to 10 files in one request, with per-file results and support for line slices and indentation-based reads.
    • Batch reads respect workspace permissions, stop after a denial or cancellation, and limit output to available context.
    • Added compatibility for existing multi-file read requests.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of long lines containing emoji to avoid cutting characters in half.
    • File-reading results now provide clearer per-file status and continuation guidance when output is limited.

Walkthrough

Adds the read_files native tool for bounded batches of independent file reads. The change adds batch validation, sequential execution, per-entry approval and status handling, context-aware output limits, and compatibility support for existing single-file and legacy reads.

The local comparison shows fewer requests but more returned data. Without whole-task timing and model-task error or retry measurements, the end-to-end benefit remains uncertain; keep that validation as a follow-up.

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

Current step: Resolve the merge conflicts. The review sequence resumes after the branch is mergeable.

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.

Stack/dependency update: #1950 is the reader foundation; this PR is the dependent batch feature and must be reviewed/merged after that foundation. The feature branch has been restacked on the foundation and preserves the final implementation, with additional audited boundary fixes and a clean-build regression fix.

There is an access blocker for representing the stack correctly in GitHub: my account has READ permission in the upstream repository, while the foundation branch exists only in my fork. GitHub cannot target a fork branch as the base of an upstream PR. A maintainer can unblock the stacked diff by creating upstream branch refactor/1948-file-reading-foundation at the current #1950 head, then retargeting this PR to that branch. This does not require merging either PR.

Until that base ref exists (or #1950 is merged through the normal review process), this PR's comparison to main necessarily includes the foundation and the executable-line scope job will keep seeing the combined diff. I have not added exclusions, changed limits, disabled checks, or manually changed review-state labels. The individually prepared foundation and feature diffs both fall below the existing 500-line scope limit.

The previous compile failure was reproduced on Node 22.23.1 in a clean checkout and fixed by explicitly building runtime types before standalone model checks; the check itself remains enabled. CI and automatic review are being followed on the latest heads. No merge or deployment has been performed.

Final autonomous verification for head 78ef79d:

  • Every required GitHub check completed successfully on this exact head: compile, translations, knip, mocked extension-host E2E, and Ubuntu/Windows platform unit tests.
  • CodeRabbit finished its follow-up review and submitted APPROVED for this exact head, with “No actionable comments were generated”. The one previous documentation finding was verified, fixed, acknowledged by CodeRabbit, and the review thread is resolved.
  • Self-review fixes include invalid-range error propagation from the reader, structural-anchor continuation when no complete line fits, and zero allowance after all entries complete. Each has regression coverage.
  • Reproduced the clean-checkout compile failure on Node 22.23.1 and fixed the runtime-types build prerequisite before standalone model checks; no checks were skipped or disabled.
  • The complete monorepo test command passed 13/13 tasks on Node 22.23.1 (including 9,787 extension tests and 1,893 webview tests). Production extension/webview builds, lint, types, lifecycle/parser/delegation model checks and MCP integration checks passed. The seven ordinary read-file scenarios and the new one-call slice+structural batch scenario passed in the real VS Code 1.100.0 extension host. CI also executed the batch scenario successfully.

Remaining blockers, not bypassed:

  1. The PR still targets upstream main because the foundation branch for refactor: isolate reusable file-reading foundation (part of #1948) #1950 exists only in the fork and the account has READ-only upstream access. The unchanged optional mutation/scope job therefore still counts the combined 709-line extension diff instead of the separately prepared 301-line feature diff. A maintainer needs to create an upstream foundation base ref and retarget this PR, or merge refactor: isolate reusable file-reading foundation (part of #1948) #1950 through the normal process and then update the feature branch against main. No limits or exclusions were altered.
  2. Fresh human maintainer/CODEOWNER approval is required. Automated approval and passing required CI do not replace it.

Merge order: #1950 first, then this dependent feature PR. No PR was merged and no deployment was performed.
