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.
  • File reads record file-version observations when checks succeed and the content is complete.
• 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 task-local 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 41325

Resolve the remaining file-publication and recovery defects before merging: concurrent path changes or interrupted writes can lose updates, remove unrelated files, or expose configuration credentials. Mode-preservation failures now correctly refuse publication, but shared-workspace permissions and final-save reliability also need attention.

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 names the change type (feat), the area (read-file), and two real changes: recording read scope (observations with completeness) and reporting clipping separately from omitted lines. Both are in the changeset (ReadFileTool.ts, indentation-reader.ts, observationRegistry.ts). It omits the observation registry and MCP confinement work, which are secondary. It is specific and concise, and it avoids file lists and vague wording.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the core intent: bigint stat bracketing, observation recording with completeness, separate clipping and omitted-line notices, per-Task registry disposal, and MCP confinement. It includes a related issue reference, a description of changes, and a test procedure, and it completes the checklist. Gaps: the template's 'Closes: #' line is replaced by a tracking reference (issue 2019 is described as non-closing), and the Description section does not follow the template's 'how' guidance for every trade-off. The Test Procedure lists a manual symlink check with no result. Some sections (Visual Snapshots, Videos, Documentation) are marked not applicable, which the template allows. The description contains chain-process notes (merge order, budget counts, superseded PR references) that are not required by the template and make it harder to read. Its tone also includes some unrequested review-process content. Overall, the required information is present, so the check passes.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

Two changed paths can expose credentials in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: - Lines 298, 371 and 407 publish to a symlink referent. If a user selects a planted symlink for a settings export, src/core/config/importExport.ts:321-349 writes provider profiles, including API keys, to the referent. The base revision renamed onto the selected path instead. - Lines 335-407 stage and publish by path after the confinement check. If .roo/mcp.json points to an in-workspace file and an attacker swaps that file's parent for an outside link, an MCP write can expose credentials outside the workspace. A readable outside target causes its mode to be copied to the staged file. The post-commit cleanup cannot prevent a transient read. The base revision staged beside .roo/mcp.json, not beside 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. src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:188-206 checks file identity, 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:2140-2143). The test at safeWriteJson.test.ts:1310-1326 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. McpHub.ts:2080,2188,2391 now uses getWorkspacePath() for the confinement root when provider cwd is unavailable. The project confinement tests in McpHub.spec.ts:1236-1321 all set cwd and do not verify that fallback. A regression could leave a fallback write unconstrained or reject a valid write.

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 it as confineTo. Retain the explicit-cwd and global-write tests.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The cleanup paths can leave temporary files behind. In safeWriteJson.ts:481-490, a confinement recheck can throw before rollback and staged-file cleanup. For example, a rename failure followed by realpath returning EACCES leaves the staged file. Project MCP writes enable confinement. In safeWriteText.ts:535-540,591-597,632-639, failed backup deletions are ignored and the backup path is lost. safeWriteText has no current production caller.

Resolution

Ensure confinement recheck failures cannot bypass safe rollback or staged-file cleanup. Retain and report failed backup deletions, and provide a safe cleanup path. Add regression tests for both failure paths.

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.

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.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts:
- Around line 2765-2769: Extend the full-read tests for both read formats in the
readFileTool test suite to use valid UTF-8 bytes encoding U+FFFD, and assert the
decoded content contains U+FFFD while complete is true. Keep the existing
invalid-UTF-8 coverage separate.

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.

6098aU · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified. await fs.mkdir(dirPath, { recursive: true }) creates every missing ancestor of the target, and the only fsync in the publish is the one on the target own directory (opened "r", synced, closed, with PostCommitDurabilityError raised if it fails). Nothing syncs an ancestor entry that this mkdir created.

So a first write into a new directory tree can report success having made only the deepest directory durable, which is the gap you describe.

Deferred on measured arithmetic, not judgement: the mutation gate counts this package at 500 of 500 allowed executable lines at this head, and safeWriteText.ts alone accounts for 266 of them. Walking from dirPath up to the first ancestor that already existed and fsyncing each newly created one costs about five executable lines (loop, per-level existence probe, error classification), which puts the package at 505. The gate throws the moment it is 501 (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:265), so this belongs in its own unit rather than being trimmed to fit.

Anchors re-verified at 4132582f4 by reading git show 4132582f4:<path>. The line numbers and the quoted text below are taken from that read, leading tabs included.

298| 	await fs.mkdir(dirPath, { recursive: true })
555| 					const dirFd = fsSync.openSync(dirPath, "r")
568| 					throw new PostCommitDurabilityError(targetPath, error)

This row is pinned to src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:311. At this head that coordinate holds // fails with EXDEV, and a path elsewhere lets a caller publish an rather than the code the row describes, so I quote the lines the code is actually on instead of the pinned number, and the substance of the row is what I answered.

6098aX · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget + platform) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified both the checks and the window: the supplied staging path is lstat-ed and required to be a regular file, and the target identity is checked separately; the commit rename happens later, in step 2 of the publish. Between the last check and that rename, an actor with write permission on the staging directory can replace the validated entry with a symlink, exactly as you describe - the rename then follows the link, and the earlier mode copy applied to a file that is no longer what got published.

Two measured reasons it is not in this push. First, the line cap: 500 of 500 counted executable lines at this head, and closing this is not a line - it means opening the staged file without following links, or re-verifying with lstat immediately before the rename behind a guard, which costs several lines in a file already counted at 266. Second, platform: libuv does not honour O_NOFOLLOW on Windows, so an fd-based or no-follow staging path needs a platform split here, not one guard. I wrote neither, so I am not claiming the file already answers the row.

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.

6098aa · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (platform and design call) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified the facts this row rests on, both in the code and on this box. fsSync.mkdirSync(sd, { recursive: true, mode: 0o700 }) asks for 0o700; the comment above it records that recursive mkdir never chmods a directory it found already present, and on Windows the mode argument is ignored outright, so the staging directory inherits its parent ACL. The Windows handling this file does have covers only an existing target descriptor: the DACL is dumped before the backup and restored after the commit rename, with DaclRestoreError when the restore fails.

I measured the Node behaviour your citations describe on this box: fs.chmod toggles only the write bit - a file chmod-ed to 0o600 still reports stat.mode & 0o777 as 0o666 - so the mode field cannot carry a Windows access right, and a newly created file inherits rather than asserts.

The remedy is a reviewer decision rather than a code correction I can slip in: giving the staged file an explicit restrictive descriptor (icacls with /inherit:r, or an explicit security descriptor at creation) changes what callers see when the staging directory itself is shared, and it would be new Windows-only executable code in a file counted at 266 lines inside a package at 500 of 500. If the ruling is that inherited descriptors are acceptable and only need stating, the comment block above the Windows step is where that belongs and I can do it in a follow-up at no line cost.

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.

6098ab · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (design call + line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified: this helper resolves the key, acquires it, and hands the callback the original path; nothing revalidates after acquisition.

What this unit did add is revalidation at the writer layer. safeWriteJson.ts re-derives the key under the lock and moves to it before merging, and refuses to merge if the key moves again. I added a behaviour-focused row for that handover to src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts and killed the skip-reacquisition mutant with it: Tests 2 failed | 3 passed (5), the new row failing on expected [ Array(1) ] to deeply equal [ ...(2) ] against a product file whose recomputed key was pinned to the held key. With the file as committed the lane is green.

What is not covered is your exact consequence, because it arrives through a different caller: src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts takes the same lock for its reader path and does no revalidation of its own, so a storage-directory retarget while that reader waits can leave it holding A lock while operating on B. Two reasons I left it: where the revalidation belongs is a design call (inside withFileLock would change every caller, including a writer that then revalidates twice), and src/utils/fileLock.ts is counted at 2 executable lines while the package is already at 500 of 500 at this head - a revalidation inside the helper is about five lines.

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

6098ac · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (design call + line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified: the handler narrows the window but does not close it. The identity check (dev, ino, size) is taken at lines 202-205 and the unlink is a separate path-based call at line 206, so a peer that replaces the file after line 205 can still have its file removed. A same-size replacement is unlikely but not impossible, and dev/ino equality is exactly what a same-inode rename-over can preserve.

Why I did not simply add a check: Node has no unlink-by-descriptor on POSIX here, so closing the window means renaming the file aside under the identity guard, verifying the rename moved the file I read, and deleting the renamed path. That is a restructure of lines 188-207, not a guard, and the package is at 500 of 500 counted executable lines at this head.

Second reason: whether the escape undo should ever delete a file it cannot prove it published (as opposed to leaving it and reporting the residue) is a contract decision about what safeWriteJson owes a caller after a confinement failure. I have not resolved it in code.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for documenting the deferral. The finding remains open: a replacement after the final stat can be deleted even if it has a different inode or size.

Renaming aside also needs care. If the replacement happens before the rename, the rename can move the peer’s file. Leaving the file intact and reporting the escape avoids that deletion risk, but it does not prevent credential exposure from the escaped write.

The saved Persistence Integrity and Security Boundaries checks are blocking. They need fresh verification before merge.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the escape-cleanup race?

6098ac - declining the follow-up issue - lane u7-1918, head 4132582f4

You offered to open a follow-up issue. The answer from the lead is no, with a reason you can check: the row is carried instead as a named row in the planned-unit list of tracking issue #2019, posted today with the costs, and a new issue would not create headroom - only a split unit does. This branch consumes exactly 500 of 500 counted executable lines for the extension package; scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:265 throws above 500 and CI printed extension (500 lines) for this head.

Your reading is recorded with the row: moving the publish aside is not the same as proving the target did not change, and a swap landing between the final stat and the unlink moves a peer file instead of removing the window.
Cost today: a restructure of the 188-207 window rather than an addition, so the line cost depends on the shape the split unit chooses; I am not putting a number on it.

On the verification your review asks for on these rows: measured at this head, 0 of the 72 check runs are named Zoo Code / PR review gate; what ran is 15 Zoo Code / reconcile PR review state (1913) runs plus 39 resolve PRs to reconcile. An absent check run is not a passing one, and there is nothing in it for this lane to rerun.

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.

Update the safe-write flow around _copyTargetMode to retain a writable handle

read-only permissions can prevent a later "r+" open. Use that handle to sync the
staged content before rename, preserving the existing rename flow.

Verified the mechanism, with one correction that makes it precise: _flushFileToDisk is called with the staged path, not the target, so the read-only handle problem reaches this code through the mode copy rather than directly. The mode copy puts the target mode onto the staged file first; if that mode has no read bit for us (a 0o200 target, or a 0o400 target owned by another user), the "r+" open inside the flush fails with EACCES, the failure is only logged, and the publish proceeds unflushed.

So your conclusion holds on this code. The log-and-continue is deliberate and documented in the function comment above it (durability against power loss is described as a bonus, with process-crash safety coming from the rename protocol), which is also why I am not treating the log line as the bug.

Deferred on arithmetic first: 500 of 500 counted executable lines at this head, so even the one-line version - open "r", since fsync is permitted on a read-only descriptor on POSIX - takes the package to 501 and reddens the mutation-diff job. The reorder version (flush before the mode copy) adds no lines but changes what is being made durable at that point, and that is a durability-ordering call for the reviewer, not for me.

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

Verified the Windows path: line 407 attempts the single rename, EPERM is caught at lines 408-411, and lines 419-423 do the two-step replacement (target to backup, staged file to target).

Your premise about libuv holds on this box: fs.chmod on Windows only toggles the write bit, so the mode copy at line 397 cannot reproduce an ACL on the staged file, and a same-volume rename that replaces an existing file applies the destination directory inherited ACL to the moved file rather than the replaced file descriptor. I measured the Windows half of that directly: fs.chmod on a 0o600 file on this box leaves stat.mode & 0o777 reporting 0o666, i.e. the mode field is not the access rights.

Why this one is not a code correction I can slip in: preserving the referent access rights across the fallback needs the same dump-and-restore machinery safeWriteText.ts already uses for a target DACL (icacls /save before, /restore after, plus a decision about what to do with a file whose rights could not be restored). That is new executable code in a file counted at 132 executable lines in a package measured at 500 of 500 at this head, and the failure semantics are a design call: safeWriteText.ts chose to fail the publish with DaclRestoreError, and copying that choice here changes which errors a caller of safeWriteJson can see. I am not making it for the reviewer.

Verified the sequence:

• the commit rename is at line 407 (fallback renames at 420-423);
• when a merge callback swapped an ancestor and the commit failed, the catch path re-derives the published path at lines 482-483, runs the escape check at line 485, and on failure calls undoEscapedPublish(publishedPath, stagedBytes) at line 487;
• nothing in that path records whether the commit rename landed, and undoEscapedPublish decides purely by content: it reads the file at line 196 and unlinks when the bytes equal what this write staged (line 197 guard, line 206 unlink).

So a pre-existing outside file whose bytes happen to equal this payload is deleted by an undo of a publish that never happened. The byte-identity guard was written to protect against a different file that a peer created after a successful commit; it does not distinguish "never committed" from "committed".

Deferred on the measured budget: there is no commit flag in this function today (the catch path today decides only from the temp-file variables, actualTempNewFilePath and actualTempBackupFilePath, and neither records that the rename landed), so the fix is a flag declaration, a set after line 407 succeeds and after the fallback lands, and a guard on line 487 - about three executable lines in a file counted at 132, in a package at 500 of 500.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for verifying the failure path. I understand the deferral due to the line budget. The thread remains open.

A commit flag would address the failed-rename case. It would not address the separate race where another writer replaces the file between the final stat and unlink.

The saved pre-merge checks also report blocking persistence and security failures. Their status on the current revision has not been verified.

Would you like a GitHub issue to track the deferred fix?

6098aj - declining the follow-up issue - lane u7-1918, head 4132582f4

You offered to open a follow-up issue. The answer from the lead is no, with a reason you can check: the row is carried instead as a named row in the planned-unit list of tracking issue #2019, posted today with the costs, and a new issue would not create headroom - only a split unit does. This branch consumes exactly 500 of 500 counted executable lines for the extension package; scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:265 throws above 500 and CI printed extension (500 lines) for this head.

Your reading is recorded with the row: a commit flag addresses the failed-rename case, and the separate race between the final stat and the unlink is a different defect that the flag does not close.
Cost today: the commit flag itself, estimated at three executable lines, plus a test for the failed-rename path; not prototyped, so treat it as an estimate.

On the verification your review asks for on these rows: measured at this head, 0 of the 72 check runs are named Zoo Code / PR review gate; what ran is 15 Zoo Code / reconcile PR review state (1913) runs plus 39 resolve PRs to reconcile. An absent check run is not a passing one, and there is nothing in it for this lane to rerun.

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.

6098ak · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified the skip you describe, on the catch path:

• staging or the fallback rename throws;
• the catch path runs the escape re-check at lines 482-485 and, if the target is outside the scope, calls undoEscapedPublish at line 487 and then throw escapeError at line 488;
• the rollback (fs.rename(backup, target) at line 501) and the staged-file cleanup below it are after that throw, so they never run: a stranded backup and a partial payload outside the scope are both left behind while the caller sees a confinement error.

So the order is wrong in exactly the way you say: the revalidation is reported before the teardown runs.

Deferred on the measured budget, and with one design question flagged rather than answered: making teardown run first means the confinement error may have to be carried alongside a rollback failure (which error wins, and whether the rollback error replaces or joins it) - that is a caller-visible contract change, and it is the reviewers call.

Anchors re-verified at 4132582f4 by reading git show 4132582f4:<path>. The line numbers and the quoted text below are taken from that read, leading tabs included.

485| 				_assertWithinScope(absoluteFilePath, publishedPath, scopeRoot)
452| 				throw escapeError
501| 				await fs.rename(backupFileToRollbackOrCleanupWithinCatch, resolvedTargetPath ?? absoluteFilePath)

This row is pinned to src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:496. At this head that coordinate holds if (backupFileToRollbackOrCleanupWithinCatch) { rather than the code the row describes, so I quote the lines the code is actually on instead of the pinned number, and the substance of the row is what I answered.

(reply only - the thread stays open; the reviewer resolves.)

[coderabbitai]

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for confirming the failure path. The finding remains open.

For error precedence, I recommend keeping ConfinedPathEscapeError as the primary error and reporting any rollback failure and backup location separately. Attempt cleanup and rollback only when they are safe; preserve the backup if safe restoration cannot be guaranteed. If revalidation itself fails, preserve that error without skipping teardown.

The saved pre-merge assessment also reports blocking security and persistence failures. Please address them and verify the checks at the current head before merging.

Would you like to open a follow-up issue for the deferred teardown fix?

6098w- · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified: the staging-directory test is lexical - path.dirname(supplied) !== path.resolve(dirPath) - and path.resolve only normalises, it does not resolve symlinks. A tempPath whose directory is a symlink onto dirPath therefore fails with StagingPathError although both names denote the same directory, which is your case.

Your suggested comparison through fs.realpath is the right shape, with one consequence the reviewer should have in front of them before it is written: dirPath is guaranteed to exist by the mkdir above, while path.dirname(supplied) is not, so a bare realpath compare would turn today StagingPathError for a supplied path in a missing directory into a raw ENOENT escaping the function. Preserving the current error means comparing canonical identities with an ENOENT fallback on the supplied side.

Measured cost of that version: two executable lines (one canonical read per side, used inside the existing condition, fallback kept). The package sits at 500 of 500 counted executable lines at this head, so two lines do not fit, and I am reporting the number rather than trimming the fix into a shape no reviewer looked at.

Anchors re-verified at 4132582f4 by reading git show 4132582f4:<path>. The line numbers and the quoted text below are taken from that read, leading tabs included.

6098w- - correction to a number I published in this thread - lane u7-1918, head 4132582f4

My previous reply said the canonical compare costs "two executable lines". That was a sketch and it was wrong. I have now prototyped both shapes and counted them with the gate own function (selectFromGit from scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, base 73931fe8be, on throwaway commits parented on 4132582f4, working tree checked out to the candidate, nothing pushed, worktree restored byte-identically):

• fs.realpath on both sides with an ENOENT fallback written out: extension has 506 changed executable lines (limit 500), so +6.
• one line replaced in place, reusing the canonicalDirKey this file already has (it canonicalises the nearest existing ancestor and re-joins the missing components, so the ENOENT escape I was worried about is already handled there): the counter stays at 500, so +0.

Both prototypes print prettier --check exit 0 and eslint --max-warnings=0 exit 0.

The correction that matters for the row, not just the arithmetic: the zero-cost shape means this row is not blocked by the line cap after all. It is still not in this push, for a different reason I should have stated in the first place - canonicalDirKey resolves to the nearest existing ancestor, so a tempPath in a directory that does not exist compares against a canonicalised parent rather than the literal parent, and I have not run that behaviour against this file test lane. Deciding that on a cap-constrained push day, one line at a time, is what the split discipline is for.

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.

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.

6098xJ · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified in undoEscapedPublish:

• line 196 reads the published file and swallows every error to undefined;
• line 197 then returns when the bytes are undefined, so a 0o200 target - readable by nobody, writable by its owner - is never unlinked, and the escaped JSON stays outside the scope even though the write reported the escape;
• the identity re-stat at lines 202-205 and the unlink at line 206 are never reached in that case.

So the outcome you describe is real and reachable: the parent-directory swap publishes the file with the outside directory inherited mode, and the cleanup cannot read it.

Deferred on the measured budget (500/500 at this head; safeWriteJson.ts is itself counted at 132 executable lines). The narrow fix - treat a read failure whose code is EACCES differently from an absent file, and fall back to the identity+size match that the re-stat already computes before unlinking - costs one to two executable lines. Flagging it as a contract question as well as a line question: unlinking a file the cleanup could not read is only safe because of the dev/ino/size match, and whether that match is enough to delete content nobody can read is the reviewer call, not mine.

Resolve aliases before scanning for recovery artifacts.

If a writer stops between the fallback renames, the backup is named for the referent, but reader recovery searches for the alias. The read can fail despite a valid backup, and API history can appear empty. Resolve the referent for both the scan and locked recovery.

6098xN · ANSWERED - ROUTING (defect is in a file outside this unit) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Two findings, and they point in different directions.

1. On the line your row is pinned to, the writer already does what you ask: line 343 calls recoverInterruptedReplacement(resolvedTargetPath), and resolvedTargetPath is the resolved referent (lines 298 and 317), not the alias. The scan prefix in jsonFileRecovery.ts:9-11 is therefore built from the referent basename on this path.

2. The alias-shaped scan you describe does exist, in the reader helper this unit does not author: recoverMissingJsonFile resolves lexically at src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts:30 (path.resolve), lists dirname of that lexical path at line 33, and gates the whole recovery at line 43 with isReplacementLeftover(absoluteFilePath, entry), whose prefixes come from basename of the alias. The locked recovery inside the callback then uses the referent (lockedPath, line 48). When an alias and its referent have different basenames - the normal case - the hint scan at line 43 finds no leftover and returns false before the lock is ever taken, so a valid backup named for the referent is never considered. That is your failure mode, in the read path.

src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts is not in this unit delta (22 files: git diff --name-status 73931fe8be...4132582f4), so per the standing rule I am reporting the row rather than fixing it here. Reported to the lead for routing, with the file, the shape, and the line numbers above.

Anchors re-verified at 4132582f4 by reading git show 4132582f4:<path>. The line numbers and the quoted text below are taken from that read, leading tabs included.

6098xN - routing answer, with the measurement behind it - lane u7-1918, head 4132582f4

You asked what sits on the pinned hunk. Re-read at this head: 4132582f4:src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts lines 188-207 are undoEscapedPublish - line 196 reads the target and returns undefined for ENOENT, line 197 is the guard, lines 202-205 are the identity re-stat, line 206 the unlink. Quoted verbatim in my previous reply, unchanged.

Where the alias/referent mismatch actually lives: the publishing path resolves before recovery - line 343 is await recoverInterruptedReplacement(resolvedTargetPath) - so the scan you describe is in src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts, which this unit does not author: line 30 const absoluteFilePath = path.resolve(filePath) (lexical, no symlink resolution), line 33 await fs.readdir(dirname), line 43 if (!entries.some((entry) => isReplacementLeftover(absoluteFilePath, entry))) return false, and line 48 recoverInterruptedReplacement(lockedPath). That file is not in this unit 22-file delta.

The routing was settled by measurement rather than by preference: the files endpoint shows jsonFileRecovery.ts (and its test) in PR 2357 26-file delta and in PR 2359 28-file delta, and in neither 1913, 1912, 1921, 1405, 1408, 2368 nor 1528. Under the declared merge order 2357 precedes 2359, so the earliest owning unit is 2357; the fix belongs there and ports forward to 2359. Carried as a named row in tracking issue #2019. This thread stays open pending that unit, and no new issue is opened for it.

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.

6098xR · FIXED IN THIS PUSH · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

You asked to reject mode-copy errors while still allowing an absent target, and to update the failure tests. Done in 4132582f4:

• _copyTargetMode now throws for any stat failure that is not ENOENT/ENOTDIR (and for a stat error carrying no errno code at all), and throws for every chmod failure. The absent-target pass-through is unchanged.
• The two failure rows in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts now assert rejection plus preservation of the target bytes and of the leftover scan.

Rows-first proof (measured, not asserted): with git show 416179d17:src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts copied over the worktree file and the new rows in place, the misc lane printed Tests 3 failed | 57 passed | 4 skipped (64) with AssertionError: promise resolved "undefined" instead of rejecting on both refusal rows. With the fix in place the same lane prints Tests 60 passed | 4 skipped (64).

The refusal is raised before the commit rename, so the target never changes: the staged file is unlinked by the existing catch path and the asserted leftovers scan (.new_, .lock) comes back empty.

Cross-generation note: the same defect shape exists on the #1912 generation of safeWriteJson.ts (a different 667-line blob, not this 622-line one) and I fixed it there separately; nothing was ported between the two.

@easonLiangWorldedtech The supplied code shows that _copyTargetMode rejects non-ENOENT/ENOTDIR stat errors and all chmod errors before the commit rename. Thank you for adding the regression tests. I have not run them.

I’ll leave this thread open for reviewer resolution.

Separately, the saved pre-merge gate reports security and persistence blockers. Please rerun the required checks before merging.

- 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.

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.

60-CvM · ANSWERED - DEFERRED (line budget) · lane u7-1918 (unit U4, head 4132582f4)

Verified at the head, and your description of the shape is exact:

• resolvePublishTarget is already fail-closed (it rethrows anything that is not ENOENT at line 197, and rethrows a real lstat failure at lines 203-206),
• but resolveLockKey wraps that whole call in a bare } catch { at line 264, so an EACCES from the primary path is discarded and the tolerant walk starts anyway,
• and the walk swallows its own readlink errors with .catch(() => undefined) at line 270, so the EACCES you describe returns undefined and the walk ends by canonicalising the alias. The caller gets a key built from the alias while another writer keys on the referent.

Deferred, with the reason measured rather than asserted: this branch already consumes the mutation gate in full (package extension, 500 of 500 counted executable lines at this head). Any new executable line in safeWriteText.ts (266 counted lines on its own) takes the package to 501, and the gate throws at that point (if (packageEntry.changedExecutableLines > MAX_CHANGED_LINES), scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:265), so the fix must be planned as its own unit.

• Measured cost of the narrow version (terminate the walk on ENOENT/EINVAL only, rethrow everything else, and rethrow the primary error unless it is ENOENT): three executable lines added.

Overlap note: the same defect shape exists on the #1912 generation of this file and I fixed it there; nothing was ported from that chain into this one.

Anchors re-verified at 4132582f4 by reading git show 4132582f4:<path>. The line numbers and the quoted text below are taken from that read, leading tabs included.

159| 	} catch {
270| 			const target = await fs.readlink(key).catch(() => undefined)
197| 		if (getErrorCode(error) !== "ENOENT") throw error

This row is pinned to src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:208. At this head that coordinate holds return absoluteFilePath rather than the code the row describes, so I quote the lines the code is actually on instead of the pinned number, and the substance of the row is what I answered.

(reply only - the thread stays open; the reviewer resolves.)

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

60-CvM - measured costs for the fix this row asks for - lane u7-1918, head 4132582f4

I prototyped both halves and counted each with the gate own selectFromGit (base 73931fe8be, throwaway commits parented on 4132582f4, working tree checked out to the candidate, nothing pushed, worktree restored byte-identically):

• classify the error the primary path threw and rethrow anything that is not ENOENT: extension has 503 changed executable lines (limit 500) -> +3.
• classify the walk own readlink errors (ENOENT and EINVAL terminate the walk, anything else rethrows): 504 -> +4.
• both halves together: 513 -> +7.

All three prototypes pass prettier --check and eslint --max-warnings=0 (exit 0). None of them fits today: this branch already consumes the cap at exactly 500 of 500 counted executable lines, the throw is if (packageEntry.changedExecutableLines > MAX_CHANGED_LINES) at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:265, and 501 reddens the job. Reporting the number instead of trimming the shape into something nobody reviewed.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for checking the error paths and measuring the line budget at 4132582f4. I understand the fix is deferred to a separate unit. The finding remains open.

Would you like a GitHub issue to track the fix and regression tests?

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 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 failures cannot bypass safe rollback or staged-file
cleanup. Retain and report failed backup deletions, and provide a safe cleanup
path. Add regression tests for both failure paths.

Allow shared files to opt into readable permissions.

On a shared Unix workspace, a newly created .roo/mcp.json remains 0o600. Another user cannot read it, so their project MCP servers do not initialize. Allow callers to select appropriate new-file permissions while keeping staging private.
