This PR makes the read side honest about what it saw. Each read brackets itself with a bigint fs.stat pair and records an observation of the target only when both tokens match - so a file that changed underneath the read is never recorded as fully seen - and the record says whether the view was complete. "Lines clipped in this view" and "lines omitted from this view" become two separate notices instead of one conflated message.

Why it matters: a slice, a truncated read, or a lossy indentation view must never authorize a full-file replacement later. This unit is what makes the guard's "was this write earned by a read?" question answerable. It is the fourth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).

Related GitHub Issue

Tracking: issue 2019 (this unit's tracking issue; closed by the maintainer when the chain lands).
Refs: #1991 (chain tracking), #1375 (epic).

Description

What this PR changes:

1. ReadFileTool brackets each read with a bigint fs.stat pair and observes the target only when both tokens match, recording complete so a slice, truncated, or lossy view never authorizes a full-file replacement. A stat failure leaves the target unobserved and never fails the read.
2. indentation-reader separates "lines clipped in this view" from "lines omitted from this view"; the native and legacy read paths report the two notices independently.
3. Task owns a per-instance ObservationRegistry; Task.disposeOnce() retires it so a read that resumes after disposal cannot repopulate it, and both read paths skip the post-read stat and observation work once task.abort is set.
4. Consistency port: project-scoped MCP settings writes pass confineTo (the provider cwd, falling back to getWorkspacePath()); global writes stay unconstrained by design. The unit branches are not cumulative, so each branch carrying the writer needs its own copy of this port.

Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on main and carries its own copy of the earlier units' content, which the GitHub diff shows as context.

Review focus: src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader, src/core/task/Task.ts (dispose path), and the specs named in the Test Procedure.

Test Procedure

From the repository root, with dependencies installed:

pnpm --dir src test -- core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader.spec.ts services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts core/task/__tests__/Task.dispose.test.ts core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts

Expected: 203 passed across the suites this unit touches (readFileTool 97, plus indentation-reader, McpHub, Task.dispose and observationRegistry). Then pnpm --dir src exec tsc --noEmit - clean.
Manual check: point a workspace at a repo that ships .roo/mcp.json as a symlink to a file outside the workspace and confirm a project MCP setting write is refused.
Environment: Windows 11, Node 20, unit layer only.

Pre-Submission Checklist

• Scope is one gate scope and matches the unit.
• No .changeset or CHANGELOG changes (AGENTS.md).
• src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged - no suppression count increased.
• New code lints clean (--max-warnings=0) rather than relying on suppressions.
• Tests added at the lowest layer that would have caught each finding.
• Visual Snapshot item considered: not applicable (no rendered surface).

Visual Snapshots

Not applicable - the two read notices are model-facing text, not a rendered surface.

Videos (interaction / animation only)

Not applicable.

Documentation Updates

No user-facing documentation change: no new setting, no new surface. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).

Additional Notes

• Budget: 932 a+d / 105 changed executable lines - inside both caps.
• Content source of record: the superseded umbrella PR feat(tools): track read completeness and guard the diff-view save path (S4b, #1375) #1833 (closed), replayed onto the current main tip. Split plan of record: comments 5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776 on [Tracking] guarded-write chain (epic 1375): rules, port sources, chain-level rows #1991.
• Merge order for the chain: U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9. This unit's merge-order predecessor is U3 (feat(task): observation registry with read completeness (U3, #1375) #1912).

Verification at this head

• 203 passed across the four suites this unit touches.
• ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every file in the unit; Prettier clean; suppressions unchanged.
• CI at this head: all required checks green, mutation-diff green.

Updated this round

• Rewrote the description for human reviewers (maintainer feedback on feat(file-safety): atomic text publish primitive (U1, #1375) #1910) and linked this unit's tracking issue Tracking fws U4: read-scope recording and separate clipping reports #2019, so the PR now has a linked issue.

Get in Touch

Reviewer and maintainer questions are welcome as comments on this PR or on #1991.

Linked Issues check response

The check evaluated this pull against issue 2019 because the description used a
closing keyword for it; the reference is now a non-closing tracking line, the
shape the whole chain uses. Independently of the check, the flagged gap was
real and is fixed: the indentation reader now sets the clipping flag for every
result that contains a clipped returned line - the single-line limit case and
the expanded-block case both report it, at exactly the same cap semantics as
the slice path - and the read tool emits the clipping notice for indentation
reads separately from the omitted-lines notice, so a block that shows every
line it includes yet truncates one still tells the model the view is partial.
Native indentation tests cover the flag in both cases (with the exactly-at-cap
boundary as the positive control), and the tool-layer tests pin the two
notices independently.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Project-scoped settings changes are rejected when their resolved destination is outside the workspace.
  • File publishing replaces files atomically, supports optional backups, and preserves existing file permissions.
  • File reads distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines and indicate when returned content is incomplete.
• Bug Fixes
  • File updates use consistent locking for symlink paths and their targets.
  • File reads remain successful when file-version checks fail.
  • Clipping and truncation notices accurately reflect returned content, including when both occur together.
  • Failed writes leave the original file unchanged when failure occurs before publishing.

The pull request adds per-task file observations and read-completeness metadata. It also adds atomic text publication, canonical lock keys, and confined JSON writes. Project-scoped MCP settings writes pass the workspace root as the confinement scope.

Changes: File observations and read completeness

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Observation registry and task lifecycle src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/*	Tasks own independent observation registries. Disposal clears and closes each registry.
Read completeness and stable observations src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, src/integrations/misc/__tests__/*, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json	Read results distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines. Native and legacy reads classify full and partial views, then record observations when version tokens match and the task is active.

Atomic and confined file writes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stage and publish text writes src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText*, src/utils/fileLock.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts	Text-write support resolves publish targets and canonical lock keys, validates staging paths, syncs staged content, preserves target modes, supports copy-based backups, and handles durability and Windows DACL errors with cleanup.
Confine and publish JSON writes src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*	JSON writes validate scope before and under the lock, stage beside the resolved target, and publish to that target. They recheck scope after publication and attempt to remove an escaped publication only when its bytes and identity match.
Apply workspace confinement to MCP settings src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts, src/services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts	Project-scoped settings writes pass the workspace root as confineTo. Global settings writes leave it undefined.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 41617

Resolve the guarded-write correctness and permission-preservation issues before merging. Concurrent path changes or interrupted writes can lose updates, prevent recovery or cause cleanup to remove another writer’s file. Some staging paths can also expose private settings.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a1b98

Read authorization remains intact, but JSON writes now follow file symlinks. A project configuration update can therefore modify configuration outside that project, including global tool-approval settings, when a workspace-controlled link points there.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Project MCP updates inherit newly expanded write scope. If workspace .roo/mcp.json is a symlink to global MCP settings, a project-scoped tool-approval or server-setting action now changes the global referent rather than replacing the project link as the base did. The inspected caller authorizes the logical project source but does not check or obtain approval for the resolved destination. This creates a conditional cross-project configuration-integrity and approval-policy concern.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new write exposure is local to destinations writable by the extension process, but is not limited to the logical project configuration path. A controlled file symlink can redirect a compatible configuration update to global MCP settings, making its effects persist across projects. Workspace-link control and an update action are required; automatic remote exploitation was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A project mcp.json link to an existing global MCP configuration is read as project configuration. A project-scoped always-allow toggle then passes that same logical path to safeWriteJson, which now publishes onto the global referent. Reading through links predates the PR; mutation of the referent through this JSON publication path is the introduced change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Read-file access retains RooIgnore filtering and approval before processing approved files. Publication rejects dangling terminal symlinks and non-regular caller staging files. These controls do not authorize an existing resolved destination against a project boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Canonical advisory locks coordinate JSON writers using symlink aliases and referents. The general withFileLock helper still uses lexical path identity; equivalent coordination for every maintenance caller was not established, although the inspected task-history deletion caller uses its normal task-file path.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Keep intentional symlink support in the general writer, but require project configuration callers to authorize the resolved destination: reject destinations outside the project policy boundary or obtain explicit destination-specific consent before publication.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(read-file): record read scope and report clipping separately (U4, #1375)" matches the main changes: ReadFileTool records file observations scoped by completeness, and clipped-line notices are reported separately from omitted-line notices in the indentation reader and read tool. It names a real, central part of the changeset. The chain label (U4) and issue number add some noise but do not make the title misleading.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template sections: it has a Related GitHub Issue section, Description, Test Procedure, Pre-Submission Checklist, Visual Snapshots, Videos, Documentation Updates, Additional Notes, and Get in Touch. It explains what changes, why, the test commands and expected results, and review focus. The Related GitHub Issue section links tracking issue 2019 and the epic with non-closing references, which the author says is intentional for this chain. The description also includes a 'Linked Issues check response' section that is not part of the template. Some sections contain chain-process details (merge order, budget, superseded PR) that are not needed for a reviewer of this change. Overall the description is mostly complete and meets the pass threshold.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

Two credential exposure paths remain in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: - Lines 298, 371 and 407 resolve and write through a final-component symlink. If a user selects a planted symlink for settings export, src/core/config/importExport.ts:333-349 writes provider profiles, including API keys, at the attacker-readable referent. The base revision renamed onto the selected path instead. - Lines 335-379 check confinement before staging by path. If .roo/mcp.json points to an in-workspace file and an attacker swaps that referent's parent directory after the check, a project MCP settings write can stage credentials outside the workspace. The later cleanup cannot prevent a transient read. The base revision staged beside .roo/mcp.json rather than the referent.

Resolution

Reject unapproved symlink destinations for credential-bearing exports. For confined MCP writes, use handle-relative, no-follow staging and publication, or fail closed when those guarantees are unavailable. Add regression tests for both paths, including transient exposure during an ancestor swap.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The prior rollback failure remains. In src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:188-206, the new escape rollback checks identity and then unlinks by path. If another writer replaces the escaped file after the final stat, the unlink deletes that writer’s persisted state. Project MCP writes can reach this rollback after an ancestor swap (safeWriteJson.ts:443-452, McpHub.ts:2137-2143). The test at safeWriteJson.test.ts:1274-1294 checks sequential byte mismatches, not this race.

Resolution

Make escape rollback safe against concurrent replacement, or leave the file intact and report ConfinedPathEscapeError when safe removal cannot be guaranteed. Add a regression test that replaces the file between the final stat and unlink.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

Project-write fallback coverage remains missing. The PR uses getWorkspacePath() as the confinement root when provider cwd is unavailable in McpHub.ts:2080,2188,2391. The project confinement tests in McpHub.spec.ts:1236-1321 all set cwd and do not assert the fallback root. A regression could leave fallback writes unconstrained or reject valid writes.

Resolution

Add an MCP call-site test with provider cwd unavailable. Mock getWorkspacePath() to return a distinct path and assert that the project write passes that path as confineTo. Retain the explicit-cwd and global-write tests.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

Cleanup can still be skipped. In src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:481-490, a confinement recheck can throw before staged-file cleanup or backup rollback. For example, if a rename fails after staging and the subsequent realpath check also fails, the .new file remains. Project MCP writes enable confinement. In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:535-540,591-597,632-639, a failed backup deletion is ignored and the path is not retained for cleanup. This write entry point has no production caller in the current tree.

Resolution

Ensure confinement recheck errors cannot bypass staged-file cleanup or safe backup recovery. Add regression tests for failures after staging and backup creation. Track failed safeWriteText backup deletions for later cleanup and test that cleanup.

Seam resolution for the merge of main (73931fe8) - branch head e3d632799

Main landed as one merge commit (4391a8b07) so the resolution is auditable in one place. Per the
ruling recorded on #1991 (id 6716644819): main's write protocol plus this branch's path-safety
graft, with the staging path and every rename site on the same resolved string. Three files
conflicted; the rest of the merge took cleanly.

• src/utils/fileLock.ts - main's file verbatim (options-driven stale-lock retry, grace, trace
  line), plus the canonical lock-key derivation, so an alias and its referent take one lock.
• src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts - main's replacement protocol kept as the base: recovery pass, EPERM
  two-step fallback, backup rollback, trace stages, merge. This branch contributes only path safety:
  confineTo + ConfinedPathEscapeError, the scope-root helpers, undoEscapedPublish, the pre-lock
  confinement check, the in-lock re-derivation of the publish target and lock key with the "refusing
  to publish ... kept changing" refusal, the final in-lock confinement decision, and the post-commit
  escape re-check that undoes an escaped publish before rethrowing. Two rename sites had to move
  onto the resolved string for the seam to be whole: the commit rename, which was naming
  absoluteFilePath, and the rollback rename.
• src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts - main's blob as the base, with this branch's
  confinement and identity rows inside the describe and adapted to the protocol's temp naming. Not
  carried, with reasons: the 17 hunks that rewrote main's shared tests to observe the delegation
  (this protocol does not delegate); the swapped-ancestor row, which asserts the primitive's staging
  identity guard that main's protocol does not have; and a detached comment that described mode
  parity through the staging path, which is not a property of this file under this protocol.
• src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts - the lock-order row asserted the resolution
  passes as the delegation flow made them, including two lstat calls that belonged to the
  primitive's staging-path checks. Those checks do not exist here, so the sequence is one realpath
  and two lstat calls shorter; the invariant the row exists for - every resolution pass runs after
  the lock was taken, so a caller queued behind the peer is unaffected - is asserted unchanged. The
  cleanup row asserted that a staged temp already gone is not a second failure: that behaviour was
  restored in main's catch block rather than the test being loosened to fit it.

Three things this unit does not decide, named rather than answered:

1. Mode parity for the JSON path. Main's blob at 73931fe8 (286 lines) has no mode-preservation
   helper - it stages, streams and flushes, and never copies the target's mode onto the staged temp -
   while the feat(task): observation registry with read completeness (U3, #1375) #1912 resolution of this same file carries _copyTargetMode. Two clean resolutions of
   two branches differ on a CWE-732-adjacent property. Which one main keeps is a chain decision, not
   something to paper over on one branch.
2. safeWriteText has no production caller on this branch. Once safeWriteJson stopped
   delegating, the only production consumers of src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts are
   resolvePublishTarget and resolveLockKey, and knip --production - the step CI runs - reported
   the write entry point as an unused export. It is tagged @internal: one mechanism, no ignore
   entry, no edit to knip.json, reason written next to the tag. Whether main should carry two
   publish primitives at all is Advisory lock key must be identity-backed, not realpath text: an NTFS 8.3 alias and its long form take different locks #2356/safeWriteText's staging-name guard and jsonFileRecovery's leftover prefixes are mutually exclusive #2350's question, and the contract stance is comment 6716641767
   on Advisory lock key must be identity-backed, not realpath text: an NTFS 8.3 alias and its long form take different locks #2356.
3. Four copies of that file, none of them on main - feat(tools): wire guarded writes into the diff-view save paths (S4b, #1375) #1408 1de2e5769df1, feat(tools): guarded write CAS core with per-path FIFO chain (S4a, #1375) #1405 7a59e9aa1939,
   3846158a7ec1, fix(task-persistence): delete under the canonical lock key (U9, #1375) #1917 0ed4a1970725, plus this branch's copy. The first of these to merge puts
   another implementation of the same file into main.

Gates at e3d632799, pinned node v22.23.4 (box node is 25.9.0): tsc -p src/tsconfig.json exit 0;
prettier --check clean; knip --production exit 0; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean on the src files
this branch touches. Vitest: misc 2116 passed / 17 skipped, api 4070 passed / 2 skipped, tree-sitter
337 passed / 12 skipped, core 4280 passed / 9 skipped - all exit 0. Services locally: 6 failed / 1676
passed. Five are EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink in services/rules/__tests__/rules.spec.ts
(this box cannot create symlinks) and one is a DaclRestoreError in
safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts; neither is caused by this merge - the merge's diff under
src/services/file-safety is empty and that spec imports only fs/promises, os, path and
../safeWriteText - and both were green on CI's windows runner at the pre-merge head. CI is the
arbiter; quoting the local numbers and saying what they are.

Also disclosed, not resolved here: no local Stryker preflight was run for this push and no Stryker disable directive exists anywhere on the branch; mutation-diff stays advisory-red at the extension
cap for the reason quoted verbatim on #1991 (id 6716644819).

Follow-up: the ubuntu leg forced the mode-parity point I had left open

Head 8fa7d858c is pushed. At e3d632799 the required leg platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest)
was red and platform-unit-test (windows-latest) was cancelled by it - "The strategy
configuration was canceled because unit-test.ubuntu-latest_ubuntu-late failed" - so the windows
result at that head measures nothing.

Three rows failed, all in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, all
test.skipIf(process.platform === "win32"), all introduced by this merge:

1. confines a write whose symlink referent stays inside the confined directory - ENOENT ... open '.../project-in/.real-mcp.json.new_<ts>_<rand>.tmp';
2. confines a scope path that itself runs through a symlink and does not exist yet - same shape
   on .../alias-project/nested/.mcp.json.new_<ts>_<rand>.tmp;
3. preserves a restrictive 0o600 target mode through the atomic publish - expected 420 to be 384 at statSync(currentTestFilePath).mode & 0o777.

1 and 2 were mine: the escape-undo capture read the staged temp before _streamDataToFile had
written it, so every confined write that reached the publish read a file that did not exist yet.
Windows cannot show this: those rows skip windows and fs.symlinkSync of a file fails EPERM on
this box (measured, pinned node v22.23.4), so no local misc-shard run executes them - the local
tally read 2116 passed / 17 skipped before and after the fix, which is exactly why a green local
misc shard was not evidence about them.

3 is the leftover named above. Rather than hold a required context red to make the point, I took
the convergence option: _copyTargetMode grafted verbatim from the #1912 head 085fbf85e (stat
the target, chmod the staged file, log and continue on a stat or chmod failure, nothing to copy
for a target that is not there yet), called on the same resolved string between the staging write
and the flush, where 085fbf85e calls it. git merge-base --is-ancestor 085fbf85e 73931fe8
exits 1, so this is not a claim that main accepted the step and dropped it - only that the two
resolutions of this function differ on a permission property. It is reversible in review: delete
the call and the helper and the file returns to main's behaviour, with the row windows-only again.

Audit of what else this could move: safeWriteJson.test.ts holds exactly one mode assertion
(line 1047, the row above) and exactly four platform-conditional rows, all skipIf(win32). The
other 41 chmod / mode & 0o777 matches under those two test directories belong to
safeWriteText.spec.ts, which exercises the primitive rather than this path. For a target created
by writeFile the copy is chmod(0o644), a no-op, so the interruption and lock-order rows keep
their behaviour and their local tallies.

CI at 8fa7d858c when this was written: check-translations completed/success; platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) in_progress/null; platform-unit-test (windows-latest) in_progress/null; compile in_progress/null; knip completed/success; e2e-mock in_progress/null; mutation-diff completed/failure.

Disclosures standing: no local Stryker preflight for either push and no Stryker disable
directive anywhere on the branch; mutation-diff came back success at e3d632799 where it had
been red at e62f198ce, and I did not establish why (the scope step recomputes changed
executable lines against the merge base, and the merge moved that base to 73931fe8 - plausible,
not measured). The core shard's EnvironmentTeardownError is still unexplained: it fired on two
runs before e3d632799 and not once at that head, which is not the same as a fix.

Two _copyTargetMode variants now exist on this series (recorded per the Lead)

All three copies live in the same file, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts (not in
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts), measured with git grep -l _copyTargetMode <sha>
and git rev-parse <sha>:<file>:

• log-and-continue: 085fbf85e blob eebd1ffdd7c2c5e6733ecf11d8058fa2b430d2bf, and this PR's
  head 8fa7d858c blob 1e4031a7ef6e3e8d999792f6547955ebca26c9f5. Stat the target, chmod the
  staged file, log and continue on a stat or chmod failure, nothing to copy for an absent target.
• fail-closed: fix(task-persistence): delete under the canonical lock key (U9, #1375) #1917 head c4bd9a2ec3ab7d2b6944b942fcdd0d5696d34366 blob
  fbe8b07563aa34da0d9f2717e397ce2b009fe3b4 (re-stat the staged file, rethrow unless the staged
  mode already equals the target mode).

Whichever merge lands first supplies the canonical text. That is merge order, not merit, and
nobody on this series should read the difference as a judgement about which shape is better.
#2350 plus merge order is the arbiter; I am not converging my copy onto the fail-closed text.

Measured: merging main moved the mutation gate, and it moved back

mutation-diff at e62f198ce (before this PR merged main): failure - check-run 125486348227,
workflow run 41506292261 - gate line as recorded there: "Mutation gate failed: extension has
589 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow
exclusion."
mutation-diff at e3d632799 (four commits after the merge of main 73931fe8): success -
check-run 128619142516, workflow run 42444051212.
mutation-diff at 8fa7d858c (this commit, ~14 new executable lines): failure again - check-run
128620716380, workflow run 42444581569.

So: merging main took the changed-executable-line delta under the cap and it is the cheapest
lever on that cap - the PR's own delta reads +5153/-39 against 73931fe8 where it read +5188/-161
before the merge. It is not durable: the next commit went back over. What I have not established
is the failure class at 8fa7d858c: the job log 403s for this token and the annotations only say
"Process completed with exit code 1", so I cannot say from evidence whether it is the line cap
again or surviving mutants in the grafted helper's two error branches, which no test exercises.
Both are consistent with what I can see; neither is measured. I will not call it one or the other.

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

Series note: why this PR carries a test-only fix to a file main owns

Commit f739a5fa3 (this branch's head) changes one file, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts,
which is main's (c9c5993f847b0a6166de801b0da4c37e730423b4 at 73931fe8) and was absent from this branch
before the merge (git cat-file -e e62f198ce:<that path> exits 128). It is a prerequisite, not unit
content.

Measured chain, on pinned node v22.23.4:

• CI at 8fa7d858c: platform-unit-test (windows-latest) failed on its own merit - 12 failures, every one
  expected 'WRITE_COMPLETED\n' to contain 'EXIT_AT_REPLACEMENT_RENAME' at that file's line 187. The
  ubuntu leg was green at the same head.
• Cause: main's kill point is whole-path equality (child line 40, if (path.resolve(String(newPath)) === targetPath)). This PR publishes on a realpath-resolved string; async fs.realpath expands an NTFS 8.3
  alias and path.resolve preserves the spelling it was handed. Under an aliased TEMP the writer's rename
  destination and the harness's authorized spelling are two strings for one file, the injection never
  matches, the child prints WRITE_COMPLETED, and all 12 rows fail.
• Reproduced here: TEMP/TMP at C:\work\Zoo-Code-fork\.tmp-alias-vps2f\long-directory-name-under-alias ->
  12 passed; at its 8.3 form C:\work\ZOO-CO~1\TMP-AL~2\LONG-D~1 -> 12 failed with CI's assertion
  verbatim; with the basename + containing-directory dev+ino predicate -> 12 passed under both spellings.

The general shape, which is the part that matters beyond this PR: main is green only because main's
writer does not canonicalize. The moment a lane grafts path safety onto the seam, the writer publishes
to a realpath-resolved target while main's interruption spec compares whole paths, and every row in that
file reddens on a runner whose TEMP is reported as an 8.3 alias - which is the ordinary
windows-latest condition (the profile is RUNNER~1 there). #1914 and #1917 carry the same seam and will
meet the same leg.

The canonical home of this fix is main-side. It currently exists in two lane copies - 1fb5fcc47 on #1912
and f739a5fa3 here - and lanes will keep grafting identical content in separate commits until main
carries it. Merge order decides which text survives; the conflict is expected rather than surprising.

One disclosure about the preceding commit 7bf2654b3, which its own message did not carry: it added
chmod: vi.fn(actual.chmod) to the fs/promises mock factory in safeWriteJson.test.ts. That spec's
beforeEach pre-creates the target (line 90), so every row in that file that reaches the publish now
calls fs.chmod through the delegating spy where it previously reached the real function through
...actual. Behaviour is unchanged because the spy calls through, and no row before that commit asserted
on chmod (git grep -nE "vi\\.mocked\\(fs\\.chmod\\)" 8fa7d858c returns nothing). The two new mode rows do
assert on it, by design.

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

PR head moved to 416179d (tree 0a46a4b6dc) to answer the mutation-diff cap, plus review-state facts that belong in-thread.

Cap. CI reported, verbatim: Mutation gate failed: extension has 509 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion. The redundancy pointed at - hoisting a re-derived resolved target above the rename sites - is not available in this file: resolvedTargetPath is derived once under the lock (src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:304, re-checked for convergence inside the loop at :323) and the sites at :377, :413, :427, :429 and :507 already reference that one variable instead of each re-deriving it, so there was nothing to hoist there.

What was duplicated is helper code. safeWriteJson._scopeErrorCode and safeWriteText.errorCode each re-implemented src/utils/errorCode.ts, which main ships and which safeWriteJson.ts already imports, and safeWriteText._fsyncFile(fd) wrapped a single fsSync.fsyncSync(fd) call. Those three definitions are now gone and their 14 call sites use the shared helper or the sync call directly. Equivalence is stated as a measured claim, not an assumed one: all 10 error-code uses compare the result against a string code literal, so an absent or non-string code yields undefined from getErrorCode where the private helpers returned undefined or a coerced string, and both take the same branch at every one of those sites. No test moved, no assertion weakened, no claim trimmed to fit the number.

Selector = the repository's own counting rules from scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, replayed locally against the committed tree at pinned node v22.23.4. extension changed executable lines: 509 -> 499 (limit 500, over=false). Per file: safeWriteText +272 -> +266, safeWriteJson +135 -> +131; the other six files are untouched by this commit. The file-level deltas are the two duplicate helper bodies and the one-line wrapper, which is where the 10 lines came from.

Review-state fact for census row 23. Its premise is gone at this head: git grep over src at 416179d returns 0 matching lines for statForObservation, 0 for recordObservation and 0 for decodeReadText, so the ask behind that row no longer describes code in this diff. Row 6 likewise points at text this branch carried whole.

Fact that belongs to PR #1914 rather than here, recorded on that PR as well: src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts has no production consumer at the #1914 head. It is not part of this PR at all - git grep for guardedWrite at 416179d returns 0 lines in this tree - and it enters the #1914 diff at +394 counted executable lines, so the split plan on #1991 treats it as severable rather than load-bearing.

Census rows 4 and 19 stay answered-and-open for the reviewer; nothing is being closed on this push.

Gates at 416179d, run on the tree this commit carries, pinned node v22.23.4: prettier --check on both changed files exit 0; eslint --max-warnings=0 on both files exit 0 with src/eslint-suppressions.json unmodified; tsc -p src/tsconfig.json --noEmit exit 0; misc shard 119 passed / 1 skipped files (2118 passed / 17 skipped tests); core shard 197 files (4280 passed / 9 skipped tests); misc restricted to the write-protocol proof files, of which 5 exist in this lane, 81 passed / 4 skipped; knip and knip --production, both with --treat-config-hints-as-errors, exit 0; knip-policy test 8 pass / 0 fail.

The services shard is unchanged from the pre-commit baseline: the same 6 failures with and without this commit, classed from the messages themselves - 5 x EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink ... fixture-creation failures in services/rules (unprivileged symlink creation in %TEMP% on this box) and 1 x DaclRestoreError in safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts (the saved access rights could not be restored here). The hosted windows leg passes both files at b86511f. Local results describe this tree only: pnpm 10.8.1 ignores the pnpm field in package.json (onlyBuiltDependencies, overrides), so a resolution difference is the first candidate if a local shard disagrees with a hosted leg.

We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The retained Windows backup is created under the parent directory and populated with fs.copyFile, without an explicit original-DACL application. It may not carry the original access rights promised by the DACL-restore error handler, which also deletes the saved descriptor dump.

The retained backup may expose old content under inherited permissions and may not provide the advertised recovery copy of the original access rights.

This can occur when: Use backup: true on a Windows file with a custom DACL, then make restoration of the committed file's DACL fail.

Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Around line 339-340: Protect the staging entry from replacement between
validation and commit in safeWriteText: ensure permission changes and the final
rename apply only to the validated regular file, and never follow or publish a
replacement symlink. Establish a safe way to bind validation to those operations
before changing the commit flow; preserve the existing rejection of symlinks and
non-files.
- Line 311: Update the recursive directory creation around fs.mkdir so newly
created parent directories are durable before the write reports success:
identify the newly created path components and sync each directory that contains
a newly created entry. Preserve the existing target-directory sync and write
flow.
- Around line 590-591: Update the Windows staging flow around
_restoreDaclWindows to restrict access to the staged file before writing any
content, and preserve that restriction through publication; establish and use
the existing DACL mechanism for the staging file rather than relying on the
broader directory’s permissions.
- Around line 329-335: Update the staging-directory validation in safeWriteText
so it compares the filesystem identities of the supplied and target parent
directories, allowing symlink aliases of the same directory. Use the existing
filesystem mechanisms to establish those identities, and retain the regular-file
and distinct-target checks.

Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts:
- Around line 77-82: Update the safeWriteJson lock-switching test’s resolve mock
to return referent A during initial acquisition and referent B after the alias
changes. Assert that the implementation releases A and acquires B before
merging, so skipping reacquisition fails the test.

Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts:
- Around line 993-995: Add an unskipped Windows-compatible success test in the
safeWriteJson test suite that writes and reads JSON within a nonempty confineTo
directory. Reuse the established test setup and public entry point, while
leaving the existing platform-specific tests and rejection coverage unchanged.

Review comments at @src/utils/fileLock.ts:
- Around line 86-87: In the flow using resolveLockKey and acquireFileLock,
resolve the lock key again after acquisition and compare it with the key used to
acquire the lock. If it changed, release the acquired lock and safely reacquire
using the current key or abort before operating on staged files; do not proceed
while holding a stale-key lock.

Review comments at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:
- Line 403: Update the safe-write flow around _copyTargetMode to retain a
writable handle for the staged file before applying the target’s mode, since the
copied read-only permissions can prevent a later "r+" open. Use that handle to
sync the staged content before rename, preserving the existing rename flow.
- Line 304: Update the publish-target resolution flow around
resolvePublishTarget so a later write can recover a matching backup under the
referent lock before rejecting a symlink whose referent is temporarily missing.
Preserve confinement checks and continue rejecting genuinely dangling links; do
not allow recovery to bypass either safeguard.
- Around line 487-496: Update the _assertWithinScope failure path so teardown
and rollback complete before the revalidation error is reported. Ensure cleanup
still runs if undoEscapedPublish or staging/fallback replacement fails, while
preserving the original revalidation error as appropriate.
- Around line 487-494: Track whether the commit rename succeeded before calling
undoEscapedPublish in the _assertWithinScope error handler; only undo the
published file after a successful commit, and otherwise rethrow the escape error
without deleting a pre-existing file.
- Around line 377-385: Update the staging flow around _streamDataToFile to
create the temporary JSON file with restrictive permissions from the outset,
then apply the intended final mode through _copyTargetMode before publication.
Preserve the existing resolvedTargetPath staging and publication flow.
- Line 413: Update the staging flow in safeWriteJson around fs.rename so the
temporary file receives restrictions equivalent to the resolved target
referent’s DACL before any JSON bytes are written, including when the target is
a symlink. Reuse an established ACL-preservation mechanism; if the referent’s
restrictions cannot be preserved, abort the write rather than staging or
publishing the file.
- Around line 311-314: In the safeWriteJson flow, verify that the canonical key
for the captured resolvedTargetPath matches the held lockKey before recovery and
merge; if it does not, retry resolution instead of proceeding with a target that
may no longer be bound to the lock.
- Around line 208-212: Make escape cleanup safe against replacement: the
separate stat and unlink of publishedPath can race, allowing cleanup to delete a
peer’s file. Update the cleanup path around the after identity check so removal
is bound to the same file identity as before, or avoid unlinking when that
cannot be guaranteed; preserve the existing safeguard against deleting a changed
file.
- Line 349: Update the recovery flow around recoverInterruptedReplacement to
resolve the target alias to its referent before scanning for recovery artifacts,
and use that same referent for both the scan and locked recovery. Preserve the
existing read behavior after recovery.
- Around line 202-204: Update the cleanup check around actualBytes so
unreadable, write-only published files can still be verified and removed. Track
or establish the published file’s identity using a safe mechanism, and remove it
only if the path still refers to that file; preserve peer replacements and avoid
treating a failed read as proof that cleanup is safe.
- Around line 588-604: Update _copyTargetMode to propagate stat and chmod
failures so the write is rejected rather than proceeding with the staged file’s
mode; allow a genuinely absent target to proceed without copying a mode. Update
the failure tests to expect rejection and verify the existing file remains
unchanged.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add an MCP call-site test with provider `cwd` unavailable. Mock
`getWorkspacePath()` to return a distinct path and assert that the project write
passes it as `confineTo`. Retain the explicit-`cwd` and global-write tests.

- Security Boundaries:
Reject unapproved symlink destinations for credential-bearing exports. For
confined MCP writes, use handle-relative, no-follow staging and publication, or
fail closed when those guarantees are unavailable. Add regression tests for both
paths, including transient exposure during an ancestor swap.

- Persistence Integrity:
Make escape rollback identity-safe, or leave the file intact when safe removal
cannot be guaranteed and report `ConfinedPathEscapeError`. Add a regression test
that changes the file between the final validation and unlink.

- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Ensure confinement recheck errors cannot bypass safe staged-file cleanup and
backup recovery. Add regression tests for recheck failures after staging and
after backup creation. Track failed `safeWriteText` backup deletions for later
cleanup, and test that cleanup.

Sync the entries for newly created parent directories.

On POSIX, a first write can return success after syncing only the target directory. If an ancestor entry has not reached disk, a crash can lose the file with its parent path. Sync each containing directory for the newly created parents before reporting success.

Restrict Windows staging access before writing content.

When this internal helper replaces a file with a restrictive DACL under a broader directory, another principal can read the staged content before restoration, even if the write succeeds. Restrict staging access before writing and retain that protection through publication.

Update the Windows staging flow around _restoreDaclWindows to restrict access to
the staged file before writing any content, and preserve that restriction
through publication; establish and use the existing DACL mechanism for the
staging file rather than relying on the broader directory’s permissions.

Revalidate the lock key after acquisition.

If a storage-directory symlink changes while acquisition waits, recovery can hold A’s lock while deleting B’s active staged file. The B writer can then fail. Revalidate the key after acquisition and abort or reacquire if it changed.

Make escape cleanup safe against replacement.

If a peer replaces publishedPath after the final stat, unlink can delete the peer’s file. The escape handler does not restore that file. Ensure cleanup cannot unlink a replacement.

Make escape cleanup safe against replacement: the separate stat and unlink of
publishedPath can race, allowing cleanup to delete a peer’s file. Update the
cleanup path around the after identity check so removal is bound to the same
file identity as before, or avoid unlinking when that cannot be guaranteed;
preserve the existing safeguard against deleting a changed file.

If a private project symlink points to a 0o600 file in a shared directory, a 0o022 umask makes the staged JSON readable by other local users until _copyTargetMode runs. Create the staged file with restrictive permissions, then apply the intended final mode before publication.

Keep a writable handle for the flush.

For a read-only target, copying its mode makes the subsequent "r+" open fail on POSIX. The write then succeeds without flushing the staged content, increasing data-loss risk after a system crash. Open a writable handle before copying the mode and sync through it before rename.

Review comment at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts at line 403:
Update the safe-write flow around _copyTargetMode to retain a writable handle
for the staged file before applying the target’s mode, since the copied
read-only permissions can prevent a later "r+" open. Use that handle to sync the
staged content before rename, preserving the existing rename flow.

Preserve the referent’s DACL before staging JSON.

On Windows, a settings symlink can point to a file with a more restrictive DACL than its parent directory. The staged file inherits the broader access, and the rename publishes it over the referent. MCP settings can contain credentials. Apply equivalent restrictions before writing staged bytes, and refuse the write if preservation fails.

Review comment at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts at line 413:
Update the staging flow in safeWriteJson around fs.rename so the temporary file
receives restrictions equivalent to the resolved target referent’s DACL before
any JSON bytes are written, including when the target is a symlink. Reuse an
established ACL-preservation mechanism; if the referent’s restrictions cannot be
preserved, abort the write rather than staging or publishing the file.

Run teardown even when confinement revalidation fails.

If an ancestor is swapped and staging or the fallback replacement fails, this throw skips cleanup and rollback. It can leave a partial payload outside the scope or leave the outside target missing with its backup stranded. Ensure teardown runs before reporting the revalidation error.

Compare staging directory identities

If tempPath uses a symlinked directory alias, this string comparison can reject a valid sibling file with StagingPathError. Compare the parent directory identities instead, while retaining the regular-file and distinct-target checks.

Test lock switching after a referent change.

When the alias changes from A to B during acquisition, assert that the write releases A and acquires B before merging. The current mock always returns one referent, so a regression that skips reacquisition can pass.

As per path instructions, tests require “regression coverage at the lowest valid harness with behavior-focused assertions.”

Allow escape cleanup to verify write-only files.

If an ancestor is swapped to an outside directory containing a 0o200 target, the published file inherits that mode. Cleanup cannot reread it, so the escaped JSON remains outside the workspace despite the error. Ensure cleanup can verify and remove the published file without deleting a peer’s replacement.

Fail closed when mode preservation fails.

If stat or chmod fails, a symlinked 0o600 MCP configuration can be replaced with a 0o644 file. Other local users may then read its credentials if they can traverse the referent’s directory. Reject mode-copy errors, but allow an absent target.

Suggested fix

- * does not silently widen it. A missing target has no mode to copy; a stat or chmod
- * that fails for another reason is logged and the write proceeds with the staged
- * file's own mode, because the replacement protocol - not the mode - is what makes the
- * write atomic.
+ * does not silently widen it. A missing target has no mode to copy; other
+ * stat errors and chmod errors abort the write.

rejected rather than proceeding with the staged file’s mode; allow a genuinely
absent target to proceed without copying a mode. Update the failure tests to
expect rejection and verify the existing file remains unchanged.

- Around line 197-208: Update resolveLockKey so unexpected resolution and
readlink errors propagate instead of falling back to the link path and allowing
repeated checks to accept an incorrect lock key. Preserve the existing handling
that permits a genuinely absent path and rejects dangling symlinks.

---

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add an MCP call-site test with provider `cwd` unavailable. Mock
`getWorkspacePath()` to return a distinct path and assert that the project write
passes that path as `confineTo`. Retain the explicit-`cwd` and global-write
tests.

- Security Boundaries:
Reject unapproved symlink destinations for credential-bearing exports. For
confined MCP writes, use handle-relative, no-follow staging and publication, or
fail closed when those guarantees are unavailable. Add regression tests for both
paths, including transient exposure during an ancestor swap.

- Persistence Integrity:
Make escape rollback safe against concurrent replacement, or leave the file
intact and report `ConfinedPathEscapeError` when safe removal cannot be
guaranteed. Add a regression test that replaces the file between the final stat
and unlink.

- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Ensure confinement recheck errors cannot bypass staged-file cleanup or safe
backup recovery. Add regression tests for failures after staging and backup
creation. Track failed `safeWriteText` backup deletions for later cleanup and
test that cleanup.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, safeWriteText intentionally retains the backup when backup:true and the commit rename succeeds but parent-directory fsync fails with PostCommitDurabilityError. The backup remains available for recovery; it must not be deleted on this error path or renamed over the committed target. Staging-file and staging-directory cleanup still applies. Retention does not itself guarantee crash durability.

Propagate unexpected lock-key resolution errors.

If access to a symlink’s parent changes during lock acquisition, resolveLockKey can return the link path instead of its referent. The repeated checks can accept that same wrong key, allowing concurrent safeWriteJson merges to lose an update. Propagate unexpected resolution and readlink errors while preserving dangling-link handling.
