Summary

  • Follow-up hardening split out of fix(integrations): classify a json sibling edit as stale instead of conflict #1632 on review advice (scope line: these guards address pre-existing exposure that the sibling-edit fix does not enlarge — every first apply onto a foreign config file always ran through the same recursive rewrite layers).
  • Depth cap at the trust boundary: parseConfig's raw-text scan for json now also counts container nesting against a shared MAX_JSON_NESTING (1000), and the scan runs before JSON.parse (CodeRabbit) — it never needed the parsed value, and scanning first means the hostile document is refused instead of materialized. JSON.parse handles hundreds of thousands of levels iteratively, but the downstream merge clone and JSON.stringify recurse: measured on dev, a 100KB file nested 50k deep passed parse, then died in serialization with a raw RangeError after a ~3.6GB allocation spike. Post-fix: PARSE_FAILED in 3ms, no spike. Brackets inside strings don't count.
  • Value-safety walk for builder/preview documents: serializeDocument('json') refuses exactly the two values serialization itself damages — non-finite (written as null) and -0 (written as 0). Anything stricter re-created the recoverable-but-refused asymmetry fix(integrations): classify a json sibling edit as stale instead of conflict #1632 closes (pinned by test). The walk uses iterative frames — memory stays proportional to nesting depth; a naive node stack cost ~18x the document size (measured: 1914MB → ~25MB for a 10M-number document) — and enforces the same nesting ceiling as the scanner, with clamped paths in refusal messages.
  • Boundary pins: exactly 1000 levels parse AND serialize (one document through both layers — the constant is shared so the two layers cannot drift), 1001 refuses on both sides, clamp shape (head…tail) asserted.
  • Related, deliberately not here: the same exposure for json5/yaml/toml is tracked in Non-json client configs: no nesting-depth cap (json5/yaml resource spike) and silent big-integer rounding on rewrite (toml/json5/yaml) #1635.

Stacked on #1632 — review only the last commit until that lands; the first two commits are #1632's.

Verification

  • bun test tests/integrations-state.test.ts tests/integrations-serialize.test.ts tests/integrations-writer.test.ts tests/integrations-invariants.test.ts tests/integrations-journal.test.ts tests/management-integration-routes.test.ts — 209 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run typecheck — clean.
  • Resource measurements above were taken with bun -e harnesses against these exact layers (parseConfig → merge clone → serializeDocument) on Bun 1.3.14/JSC, macOS arm64.
  • bun run prepush against this exact head — full gate passed: typecheck clean, 11591 pass / 8 skip / 0 fail across 719 files (532s), privacy scan passed.
  • Merging the base's new guards (underflow, duplicate members) folded the depth counter and the member-name tracking into ONE pass: the container stack's length is the depth, so the two guards share a walk rather than adding a second one.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (The nesting cause is now named in the refusal message and in all three doc locales, en + zh-tw + tr.)
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (Refusal messages carry only config paths and clamped JSON paths; all guards fail closed.)

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • All CI tests are green on my local testing.

  • I pushed my PR to the latest dev commit.

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • JSON integrations can now be disabled after unrelated edits while preserving user changes.
    • Supported integrations identify when an update is needed and safely merge changes.
    • OMP integrations continue to update only their managed provider settings.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented unsafe rewrites involving invalid numbers, oversized integers, duplicate entries, or excessive nesting.
    • Preserved conflict protection for managed-entry edits and unsupported formats such as YAML, JSON5, and TOML.
  • Documentation

    • Updated integration guidance in English, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish.

…onflict

A user edit anywhere in a client's config file flipped the integration into
a permanent conflict, even when every opencodex-owned fragment was untouched
— adding an MCP server to opencode.json was enough, and the only way out was
deleting the owned block by hand.

The whole-file fingerprint exists so a rewrite never destroys comments or
formatting we did not write. For comment-capable formats (yaml, json5, toml)
that stays a hard conflict. Strict JSON cannot carry comments — a commented
file fails parsing long before classification — so with the owned block
verified intact, re-applying can only normalize formatting. Classify that
case as stale: the toggle offers a refresh, and apply re-owns the file while
merging into the document as it stands, keeping the user's entries.

The owned-fragment check now runs before the file-level check so the
exemption can never mask an edit inside our block.

Fixes lidge-jun#1631

…rs, after multi-round review

Consolidates four adversarial review rounds on the initial commit into the
final, focused shape of the fix:

- parseConfig scans the raw json text — same posture as the TOML inf/nan
  guard — and refuses number literals whose value a rewrite would actually
  change: overflow to Infinity (rewritten as null; the merge layer's JSON
  clone does it before any serializer could refuse), plain-digit integer
  runs a BigInt comparison proves were rounded past 2^53 (the one spelling
  consumers like python's json read with exact integer semantics), and -0,
  which re-serializes as 0. Exponent spellings and exactly-representable big
  integers (1e21, 2^54) stay usable end to end — refusing them would only
  manufacture new dead ends; that decision is pinned in comments and tests.
  Without this guard, the newly allowed rewrite route would bake silent
  value changes into files the old conflict refusal used to protect.
- disableIntegration's precondition comment now names the real invariant
  (the block fingerprint, not the file fingerprint), with sibling-survival
  and refusal mirror tests for disable.
- The classifier's module comment revises devlog 021 §3's unconditional
  whole-file rule for json clients; the preflight refusal message names the
  non-round-trip value class instead of claiming a valid file 'could not be
  parsed'; docs (en, zh-tw) describe the behavior including the exception.
- Regression tests: readIntegrationState-level sibling drift, openclaw/kimi
  comment-capable conflicts, scanner lexer edges (bare literal, escaped
  quotes, -0 spellings), 1e999 refusal and 2^54 symmetry for apply AND
  disable, re-apply block shape and re-ownership.

Deeper hardening surfaced by the same review (nesting depth ceiling,
serializer value walk for builder documents) targets pre-existing exposure
and follows separately on hardening/json-rewrite-depth.

…walk

Follow-up hardening split out of lidge-jun#1632 (review findings on pre-existing
exposure the sibling-edit fix did not enlarge — every first apply onto a
foreign file always ran through the same rewrite layers):

- parseConfig's raw-text scan now also counts container nesting (shared
  MAX_JSON_NESTING constant with the serializer): JSON.parse handles
  hundreds of thousands of levels iteratively, but the downstream merge and
  JSON.stringify recurse — a 100KB file nested 50k deep sailed through
  parse, then blew up serialization with a raw RangeError after a multi-GB
  allocation spike. Measured post-fix: PARSE_FAILED in 3ms, no spike.
- serializeDocument('json') gains a value-safety walk for builder/preview
  documents (non-finite → null and -0 → 0 are the only values serialization
  itself damages; anything stricter re-created the recoverable-but-refused
  asymmetry lidge-jun#1632 closes). Iterative frames keep memory proportional to
  nesting depth instead of ~18x the document size a node stack cost, and the
  walk enforces the same ceiling as the scanner, with clamped paths in
  refusal messages.
- Boundary pins: exactly 1000 levels parse AND serialize (one document
  through both layers), 1001 refuses on both, brackets inside strings do
  not count, clamp shape (head…tail) asserted.

Based on lidge-jun#1632; review only the last commit until that lands.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Strict JSON integrations now validate numeric, duplicate-key, and nesting safety before rewrites. Unrelated sibling edits produce stale and remain preservable during apply or disable operations. Managed-entry edits and unsafe values remain conflicts or refusals. YAML, JSON5, and TOML retain conflict behavior.

Changes

Strict JSON rewrite safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
JSON safety validation
src/integrations/config-io.ts, src/integrations/serialize.ts, tests/integrations-serialize.test.ts, tests/integrations-state.test.ts
JSON parsing and serialization reject non-finite numbers, -0, unsafe large integers, duplicate object members, and documents beyond MAX_JSON_NESTING. Tests cover bounded paths, strings, exact boundaries, and round-tripping.
Integration state classification
src/integrations/state.ts, tests/integrations-state.test.ts
Owned-fragment edits remain conflict. Unrelated strict-JSON edits become stale. YAML, JSON5, and TOML retain conflict classification.
Safe apply and disable operations
src/integrations/writer.ts, tests/integrations-writer.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/integrations.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/tr/guides/integrations.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/zh-tw/guides/integrations.md
Apply and disable operations preserve unrelated JSON entries and remove only managed entries. Unsafe values leave files unchanged and refuse rewrites. Documentation describes the format-specific behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 23f43

The change caps deeply nested JSON and rejects serializer-unsafe values to prevent resource exhaustion and silent data alteration; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

document; only parse text that passes the guard, preserving the existing catch
behavior for invalid JSON.

Number(literal) conversion to reject positive exponent underflow: when value is

…egrations guide

The Turkish translation landed on dev after this branch changed the English
and zh-tw paragraph, so tr/ still described the old fail-closed rule for
strict-JSON clients. Mirrors the canonical wording 1-to-1.

…on rewrite

Two gaps CodeRabbit found in the guard this PR introduces, both invisible in
the parsed document and both reachable only because classify now hands a
user-edited strict-JSON file to apply instead of conflicting forever:

- 1e-9999 underflows to +0, so the rewrite wrote 0. The significand now
  decides, keeping genuine zero spellings (0, 0.0, 0e10) and subnormals.
- {"a":1,"a":2} parses to a single member, so the rewrite DELETED the
  earlier one while reporting success. The scanner now tracks decoded member
  names per open object.

Also corrects four texts that named 'an integer past 2^53' as a refusal cause
when 2^54 is accepted (our own test applies with it), and the docs claim that
YAML always locks — OMP patches only its own range and is exempt in
classifyIntegration.

…e parsing

Merges the underflow and duplicate-member guards from lidge-jun#1632 into the same
single pass (the container stack now carries both the member names and the
nesting depth), and applies two CodeRabbit findings that belong to this PR:

- The scan runs BEFORE JSON.parse. It never needed the parsed value, and a
  50k-deep document was being fully materialized just to be discarded.
- tests: extract installPi(), which was copy-pasted seven times, matching the
  installHermes()/installOmp() shape the file already uses.

The refusal texts and all three doc locales now name the depth cause too.

Thanks — all six findings were correct. Two of them are this PR's and are fixed in 23f4349af; the other four concern the guard introduced in the base PR and are fixed there (#1632, commit 7f2e2dfa9, with a per-finding reply on that PR).

Scan before JSON.parse — agreed, and it sharpens the stated goal rather than just saving a pass: with the scan second, a 50k-deep document was fully materialized and then discarded, so the depth cap protected the rewrite but not the parse that precedes it. Now parseConfig refuses on the text and never builds the object graph. The result set is unchanged — invalid JSON still returns PARSE_FAILED from the catch.

installPi() — extracted, and it was seven copies rather than six once the new duplicate-member test landed. It follows the installHermes()/installOmp() shape already in the file.

Depth in the refusal texts — added, in the preflight message and in all three doc locales.

One thing worth flagging from merging the base: the new duplicate-member guard and this PR's depth counter collapsed into a single pass. The container stack that tracks member names per open object has a length that is the nesting depth, so there is one walk with one ceiling rather than two overlapping scans.

Full bun run prepush on this head: 11591 pass / 8 skip / 0 fail across 719 files (532s), privacy scan passed.

The code-level hardening is sound.

src/integrations/config-io.ts:79-82 rejects a 1001st container while scanning raw JSON, and src/integrations/config-io.ts:139-148 performs that scan before JSON.parse, so hostile depth is refused before the object graph is materialized. src/integrations/serialize.ts:258-305 uses an iterative value walk, shares the same 1000-level ceiling, and turns non-finite values, -0, and excessive depth into UnserializableValueError rather than a raw RangeError or silent JSON normalization.

The regression coverage is meaningful: tests/integrations-state.test.ts pins the parse boundary at 1000/1001 and the string-bracket countercase, while tests/integrations-serialize.test.ts:159-208 covers unsafe numeric values, structured deep-nesting refusal, path clamping, and the exact serialization boundary. I also reviewed the previous CodeRabbit findings; the scan-before-parse, positive underflow, duplicate-member, refusal-text, and Pi-fixture findings were all valid and are addressed on this head or its #1632 base. I found no remaining code-level blocker.

The release blocker is verification state, not code: both Cross-platform CI and React Doctor for exact head 23f4349afecdd694781575aeeee6ec6404645011 are action_required with no jobs, while the only successful checks are PR-target/label/hygiene automation. I confirmed this directly against the check-runs API for that SHA. Please approve or rerun those two workflows and require successful results on this exact SHA before merging. The reported local prepush run is useful evidence but does not replace CI.

Thanks for the careful hardening here. This is useful because deeply nested or otherwise non-round-trippable JSON can no longer turn an integration update into a huge allocation spike, raw RangeError, or silent config corruption. The shared depth ceiling and serializer checks make those cases fail closed with a structured refusal, while normal valid configs keep working as before.

Merged after Cross-platform CI and React Doctor passed. Thanks!
