fix(repo,vfs): refuse a snapshot with a path as both file and directory (#278) - #280
Conversation
…irectory (#278) An absent protected or out-of-view file is carried back verbatim at commit, merge/pick/rebase completion, ws harvest and ws refresh. A directory created at the same path in the checkout then produced a tree with a blob and a tree under one name. The one tree builder now refuses it with FileDirCollision { file, child } before writing any tree; no ref moves. Across commits a path may still change kind (#247).

Issue
#278requires a reproduction, a snapshot-assembly guard before tree writing, and tests for plain commit, merge completion, and workspace harvest. The PR addsError::FileDirCollisionand validates built and carried paths inscl_vfs::Vfs::build_root. The validation runs before tree objects or refs change. The regression tests cover the required entry points and preserve valid file-to-directory changes across snapshots.

When files contains a blob at p and carried contains a tree entry at the same p, converting the combined paths to a BTreeSet collapses the duplicate, and the slash-only ancestor check reports no collision. build_subtree_inner then emits both entries with the same name, so write_tree_with_carried can still create exactly the blob/tree snapshot this change promises to reject; compare equal paths across the two maps, including the carried entry kind, before building.

When a partial-clone merge carries an unchanged subtree that already contains duplicate blob/tree names—for example, one written by an older version affected by #278—the path list contains only the subtree root, so this check never examines the malformed entries beneath it. Editing a sibling can therefore create a new snapshot that preserves the invalid subtree despite the new invariant; tree objects need duplicate-name validation when decoded/ingested, or carried subtrees must be validated before reuse.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winLimit the publish guarantee to rebuilt private snapshots.
sc branch publishdoes not rebuild every inner snapshot. A private branch created at an existing public tip has no private-index entry, so publishing writes that tip directly. If the public tip is a pre-existing malformed snapshot, publishing does not detect or refuse its collision.Suggested fix
Snapshots written before this check may already hold the collision; they still read, but a commit or replay that rebuilds their tree is refused, and - `sc branch publish` (which rebuilds every inner snapshot) refuses a private - branch whose history holds one. + `sc branch publish` rebuilds indexed private snapshots and refuses a branch + when that rebuild finds one. If the private index has no entry for the tip, + publishing writes the existing tip without rebuilding, so a pre-existing + collision at that public tip is outside this check.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Approved: reproduced in every scenario, independent review (private-branch blocker fixed, re-review none), Codex clean apart from a declined format-level suggestion, CI green.
* docs: final sync with the implementation (pass 3) Audit of the living docs against the code at origin/main (through #283): ROADMAP Done/Deferred now match the open issues (#281 only), the #278/#280 file/directory collision guard replaces the stale open-hazard text, the DirBucket OS lock, compact --dry-run cost, ws run lock release and a single downgrade-hazard list are written down, demo count and ws/refresh/signature index/index lock/ADR status lines are corrected, and the sc-cli-reference skill is verified against sc --help. * docs: address review findings (reindex recovery, abort wording, CAS attempts, dry-run cost, author, identity default) * docs: scope the working-tree guarantees to public branches (review)
Closes #278
Reproduced
Yes, in every scenario the issue listed. An absent file is carried forward verbatim (a protected path the committer has no key for, or a path outside the sparse view), while the checkout now holds a directory at that path. The commit wrote a tree with a blob and a tree under one name:
sc commit(keyless checkout,secretabsent, user createssecret/notes.txt)vault/sub/a.txtabsent, user creates a filevault/sub)docsplus a newdocs/x.txtsecret, user createssecret/notes.txt)sc ws harvestfrom a workspace forked without a key (it even landed the bad merge)sc ws refreshandsc workgo through the same path.Fix
scl_vfs::Vfs::build_rootis the single entry to tree assembly. It now rejects a path that is a file and also the parent of another path in the same snapshot, withError::FileDirCollision { file, child }naming both, before any tree object is written. No ref moves.Resolution is to refuse, not to let the directory win. Dropping the carry would destroy ciphertext the committer cannot read, which is the reason absent protected paths carry at all. The user removes the directory or restores the file. The check is within one snapshot, so file-to-directory changes across commits (#247) are unaffected (test included).
Behaviour per entry point: commit, amend, merge/pick/rebase completion fail with the error;
ws harvestfails with no candidate branch and the session still open;ws refreshfails before any write;sc workreports it as that agent's harvest result. Private branches build sealed trees separately and do not carry absent paths, so they are not affected.Docs: ADR-0034 refinement 9, ADR-0025 refinement 8, CLAUDE.md gotcha.
