Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cdfe5

This update flow currently includes a test-compilation error that blocks validation, along with locale-sensitive persisted digests that can cause inconsistent ownership checks and unnecessary configuration rewrites. Merge should wait until these bounded correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

A single non-canonical Pi entry in any scope makes invalid truthy and downgrades the whole installation to unsupported, so a perfectly healthy canonical user (or project) scope can never be updated just because the other scope pins a git/pinned source. Treating each scope independently would let the healthy scope update instead of failing all of them.

The response says scopes are evaluated independently, but inventory.ts:228-251 silently drops the noncanonical scope. With canonical user scope plus pinned project scope, detection returns only the user installation and reports nothing for the project installation.

Reproduction produced one pi:package:user record and omitted the pinned project entry. The invalid/conflicting scope should be represented as unsupported rather than silently ignored.

Fixed in 9122adf. Inventory now emits a separate unsupported record for every non-canonical Pi scope while retaining canonical scopes as updateable. Added regression coverage for both mixed configurations: canonical user + pinned project, and pinned user + canonical project.

Make packageRoot independent of the process working directory.

path.resolve('packages/core') depends on the working directory of the test runner. If the suite runs from packages/core (a common per-package script), the path resolves to packages/core/packages/core, the CLI version becomes unknown, and the update-available assertion becomes unreliable. Derive the path from import.meta.url instead.

♻️ Proposed change
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
+
+const packageRootPath = path.resolve(path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)), '../..')

Then replace both occurrences:

-      packageRoot: path.resolve('packages/core'),

32-43: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a top-level failure boundary around the refresh call.

refreshOwnedInstallation returns a structured result, but it can still throw before returning, for example while reading the tracking file. An unhandled rejection prints a stack trace and emits no rollback: line. The parent process parses that line in parseRollbackState (packages/core/src/update/strategies/fallback.ts, lines 225-230), so it then sees an undefined rollback state instead of an explicit one.

Wrap the call so unexpected throws produce a deterministic rollback: not-attempted line and a stable exit code.

🛠️ Proposed change
-const result = await refreshOwnedInstallation({
-  harness,
-  bundlePath: path.join(sourceRoot, 'bundle.json'),
-  skillsSource: sourceRoot,

The backup-failure trigger depends on filesystem limits.

The test forces FALLBACK_BACKUP_FAILED by building a path of four 70-character segments, so that encodeURIComponent(oldPath) exceeds the 255-byte filename limit. This depends on the host filesystem and platform. On Windows the mkdirSync call can fail first, and on filesystems with different name limits the copy can succeed, which changes the asserted error code.

Prefer an explicit failure injection, for example a read-protected backup parent or a stubbed copy step, so the test asserts the intended branch on every platform.

Narrow the exported journal surface, and export the refresh types.

Consider keeping them module-internal so external callers cannot drive a partial transaction.

Consider extracting the duplicated path and MCP helpers.

isSameOrContained and isCanonicalPath are byte-identical to the helpers in packages/core/src/update/fallback-journal.ts (lines 195-202). readMcpConfig/readMcpRecord also duplicate the MCP lookup in packages/core/src/update/strategies/fallback.ts (lines 212-223).

Nitpick comments:
In `@packages/core/src/update/codex-transaction.ts`:
- Around line 585-609: The candidate filtering in isPluginCacheCandidate
repeatedly rescans nested directories through readCodexPayloadVersions. Check
the inexpensive basename and path-segment name evidence first, and invoke
readCodexPayloadVersions only when those checks do not match, preserving the
existing candidate criteria and return behavior.

In `@packages/core/src/update/command-runner.ts`:
- Around line 9-24: Extract the shared redaction patterns and sanitization logic
from sanitizeOutput and sanitizeLookupMessage into one reusable sanitizer
module, then update both functions to use it. Preserve the existing redaction
behavior and MAX_COMMAND_OUTPUT truncation contract while ensuring future rules
apply consistently to command output and lookup messages.

In `@packages/core/src/update/fallback-transaction.ts`:
- Around line 251-274: Extract the duplicated path helpers isSameOrContained and
isCanonicalPath, along with the shared MCP configuration lookup logic from
readMcpField/readMcpConfig, into one shared module. Update
fallback-transaction.ts, fallback-journal.ts, and strategies/fallback.ts to
import and reuse those helpers, preserving current path containment,
canonical-path validation, and MCP server-field lookup behavior.

In `@packages/core/src/update/index.ts`:
- Around line 4-6: In the update module exports, remove the low-level fallback
journal primitives beginFallbackJournal, markFallbackJournalMutating, and
restoreFallbackJournal while preserving the remaining intended journal exports.
Extend the fallback-transaction exports to include FallbackRefreshOptions and
FallbackRefreshResult alongside refreshOwnedInstallation, and expose those types
without widening unrelated APIs.

In `@packages/core/src/update/refresh-owned-cli.ts`:
- Line 20: Replace the inline dynamic import in the transaction parsing flow
with a static top-level import of node:fs/promises, then use that imported
module when reading transactionPath. Preserve the existing JSON parsing and
FallbackTransactionIdentity cast.
- Around line 32-43: Wrap the refreshOwnedInstallation call in a top-level
try/catch so unexpected errors log their message, emit rollback: not-attempted,
and exit with the stable failure code used for non-rollback failures; preserve
the existing structured-result handling and rollbackSucceeded-based exit
behavior when the call returns normally.

In `@packages/core/src/update/strategies/codex.ts`:
- Around line 44-46: Update the planning flow around resolveCodexPluginCachePath
so an undefined cache path produces a planning error with manual backup and
restore commands instead of using the “<exact Codex plugin cache>” placeholder
or setting requiresConfirmation. Ensure executeCodexTransaction is not reached
through a confirmable plan when the cache path cannot be resolved.

In `@packages/core/src/update/version.ts`:
- Around line 93-102: Update resolvePackageRoot so that when no ancestor
contains both package.json and bundle.json, it fails explicitly or returns
undefined instead of falling back to path.resolve(startDir, '..', '..'). Adjust
readRunningVersionInfo to handle that result and report a clear package-root
resolution error.

In `@packages/core/test/integration/update-flow.test.ts`:
- Around line 49-54: Update both packageRoot values passed to checkUpdates in
the integration tests to derive the packages/core path from import.meta.url
rather than the process working directory, while preserving the existing test
behavior and assertions.

In `@packages/core/test/unit/update/fallback-transaction.test.ts`:
- Around line 138-144: Update the affected fallback transaction tests around
refreshOwnedInstallation to wrap their setup, assertions, and cleanup in
try/finally blocks, moving rmSync(sourceRoot, { recursive: true, force: true })
into finally so cleanup runs when assertions fail. Apply the same pattern used
by the earlier test to all additionally identified cases.
- Around line 151-175: Replace the filesystem-length-based setup in the fallback
backup test with deterministic failure injection for the backup operation, such
as making the backup parent unwritable or stubbing the copy step. Keep the test
focused on refreshOwnedInstallation returning FALLBACK_BACKUP_FAILED,
rollbackAttempted being false, and preserving the original tracked file without
relying on longPath or platform-specific filename limits.

In `@packages/core/test/unit/update/inventory.test.ts`:
- Around line 14-21: Update the beforeEach hook to clear CODEX_CONFIG_PATH after
saving previousCodexConfigPath, ensuring tests use only the temporary home
configuration and remain isolated.
- Around line 305-323: Update the checkUpdates call in the “does not require npm
or pnpm” test to pass cwd: home, ensuring discovery is isolated from the
repository working tree while preserving the existing fallback update
assertions.

Walkthrough

This push (9122adf, "fix(update): report unsupported Pi scopes") refines detectPiInstallations so that non-canonical Pi user/project scopes are reported as independent pi:package:unsupported:{scope} installations with per-scope metadata (settings path, digest, project root identity), rather than collapsing to a single pi:package:unsupported entry. When at least one scope is canonical, the supported entry is returned first and the unsupported entries are appended; when neither is canonical, only the unsupported entries are returned. The matching test now verifies both directions (user canonical + project unsupported, and the inverse).

Changes

File(s) Summary
packages/core/src/update/inventory.ts detectPiInstallations now loops both user and project scopes, emitting a separate pi:package:unsupported:{scope} entry per non-canonical scope with per-scope settings metadata, and appends them to the supported entry when a canonical scope exists.
packages/core/test/unit/update/inventory.test.ts Test renamed and extended to assert both directions of scope-independent unsupported reporting, including installationId, source.kind, source.reason, and metadata.settingsPaths.

Assessment

  • No blocking findings in the new commit. The scope-splitting logic is sound: projectEntries is empty when the project settings file is absent, so fileDigest is only invoked on existing files; the early return for the no-canonical case is preserved.
  • 🛠️ One non-blocking refactor suggestion on isPluginCacheCandidate (carried forward from the prior review) — the || short-circuit is correct, but an explicit early return makes the cost boundary clearer.
  • Validation: tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean on inventory.ts, 16/16 inventory tests pass, 105/108 update unit tests pass (3 pre-existing skips). No package.json/lockfile changes, so no audit needed.

Verdict: APPROVE — the new commit is a clean, well-tested correctness fix; the only comment is a non-blocking refactor suggestion.

🚩 This PR touches the update/rollback transaction machinery (data, security-adjacent controls). A human reviewer should still give the full transaction flow a final look before merge.

The latest Pi-scope fix is correct, but PR #56 still has unresolved correctness and security issues that block merge:

  • fallback-journal.ts:68,105-146: a crash during child mutation can leave the journal unrecoverable because it records pre-mutation state without enough process/mutation state to restore safely.
  • fallback-transaction.ts:180-190,348-359: fallback MCP cleanup can delete user-owned fields and rewrite JSONC content.
  • native-evidence.ts:30-46 and the Claude/Codex strategies: native marketplace updates are not fully bound to the immutable source planned before execution.
  • command-runner.ts:391-395: bare taskkill.exe is resolved through PATH on Windows.
  • fallback-ownership.ts:30-31: UNC paths are accepted for destructive operations.
  • antigravity-transaction.ts:159-180: staged payload validation does not verify the complete payload or preserve unrelated manifest imports.
  • strategies/fallback.ts:47-64: unsupported-executor planning can leave temporary transaction manifests behind.

The Pi inventory regression tests pass, but they do not cover the blockers above.

Addressed in 7dda78d. The commit adds crash-recoverable fallback journaling, ownership-scoped byte-preserving MCP reconciliation, immutable native artifact execution guards, absolute System32 taskkill resolution, UNC rejection for destructive fallback paths, full Antigravity payload and manifest-preservation validation, and cleanup/avoidance of temporary fallback transaction manifests. Each blocker now has focused regression coverage

The sibling-change assertion cannot fail.

Line 52 changes the sibling file on disk, but line 53 re-archives archiveFiles, which still holds the original sibling buffer. Neither side of the comparison changes, so this check adds no coverage beyond line 50. Update the map entry to prove that sibling bytes are excluded from the archive digest.

confirmUpdatePlan ignores its parameters.

_context and _color are unused, so the confirmation prompt shows no plan detail and no color handling. The plan is printed earlier by printUpdatePlan, so behavior is acceptable today. Consider rendering _context.items in the prompt, or narrowing the signature to remove the unused parameters, to prevent drift from the UpdateConfirmation contract.

Sort digest entries by code unit, not by locale.

localeCompare depends on the runtime locale and ICU data. digestEntries produces a canonical identity that is compared across processes and stored in records, so a different collation order changes the digest for identical content and yields a false content mismatch. Use a deterministic comparison.

Walkthrough

Three new commits since the prior review at 9122adf harden the update transaction machinery: 7dda78d1 adds byte-level transaction support for Claude marketplace refreshes (new claude-transaction.ts), a byte-localized MCP JSON/JSONC/TOML editor suite (mcp-edit.ts, mcp-toml-edit.ts, mcp-lookup.ts, mcp-reconciliation.ts), a unified native payload digester (native-payload.ts), a staged-swap fallback journal (v2 with nonce auth, quarantine, and digest-authorized recovery), and an Antigravity manifest byte-preservation guard. 625d7674 fixes Windows chmod/separator/homedir semantics in Claude restore and fallback drift tests. 127fa00b closes CodeRabbit findings: marketplace sources are pinned to the resolved commit at planning time, empty MCP JSON documents fail closed on structural edits, manifest temp dirs are recorded on the plan item (no more recursive deletes derived from command arguments), Codex timeout errors report preserved backup locations, and TOML datetime values compare by getTime().

Changes

File(s) Summary
claude-transaction.ts (new) Byte-level Claude marketplace refresh transaction: backs up registration records + payload before mutation, drift-gated restore, recovery bundle preservation on failed rollback
mcp-edit.ts (new) AST-based byte-localized JSON/JSONC MCP editor preserving comments/CRLF/foreign servers via jsonc-parser
mcp-toml-edit.ts (new) Byte-localized TOML MCP editor with custom lexer, fail-closed ambiguity handling, and independent model verification
mcp-lookup.ts (new) Single source of truth for reading MCP server records/fields/digests across planner, journal, and child transaction
mcp-reconciliation.ts (new) Per-config-file MCP reconciliation planner: existing servers stay, stale removed, new go to canonical path; ambiguous selections fail closed
native-payload.ts (new) Unified native payload tree digester + git archive tarball payload digester with size caps and traversal rejection
native-evidence.ts nativePayloadDigest delegates to nativePayloadTreeDigest; new nativeExecutionGuard and nativeEvidenceMatches shared by Claude/Codex strategies
fallback-journal.ts v2 journal with staged swaps, nonce authentication, quarantine, digest-authorized recovery, process-liveness checks, and appendFallbackJournalEntries for child-discovered destinations
fallback-transaction.ts Reworked to use staged swaps via journal: preflight render → stage → apply, multi-config-path support, drift gates before every mutation
fallback-ownership.ts isCanonicalPath rejects remote UNC paths; isSameOrContained fixes false-positive traversal on dot-prefixed filenames; matchesTrackedOwnership validates the MCP config-path set
antigravity-transaction.ts Post-mutation digest authorization for rollback, preservesUnrelatedManifestBytes byte-level guard for import manifest, injectable dependencies for tests
codex-transaction.ts Timeout error reports preserved backup locations; nativePayloadDigest no longer takes manifestPath
coordinator.ts withPinnedMarketplaceCommit carries resolved commit into planned source; cleanupPlanState uses temporaryDirectories (no command-argument-derived deletes)
command-runner.ts windowsTaskkillPath resolves taskkill from SystemRoot instead of relying on PATH
version-source.ts resolveGitPayloadDigest fetches codeload.github.com tarball (github.com-only, full-commit validated) for immutable payload digest; readArchiveWithLimit streams with size cap
inventory.ts Native evidence (file digests) attached to Claude/Codex installations; local-snapshot artifact root narrows to payload subdirectory
strategies/claude.ts, strategies/codex.ts Use nativeExecutionGuard + new transaction executors
strategies/fallback.ts Nonce in identity, ownedMcpConfigPaths + approvedDestinationRoots, temporaryDirectories recorded, manual commands use nsolid-plugin update
skill-linker.ts materializeSkillLink extracted with injectable FS ops; copySource defaults to linkSource so copy fallback never captures old live content
mcp-config-writer.ts JSON/JSONC cases unified via editMcpJsonBytes; legacy mcpServers migration for OpenCode; writeJsoncConfig removed
types.ts New NativeEvidence, temporaryDirectories, payloadPath, nonce, ownedMcpConfigPaths, approvedDestinationRoots fields
package.json / pnpm-lock.yaml New runtime dep jsonc-parser@3.3.1 (legitimate Microsoft parser, latest stable 3.x)

Assessment

  • Prior review (9122adf): ✔ APPROVED. The one non-blocking 🛠️ refactor suggestion on isPluginCacheCandidate (thread PRRT_kwDOSwz7jM6cwy3V) was resolved and the underlying code is unchanged — not re-raised.
  • No blocking findings in the three new commits. The transaction machinery is security-conscious: fail-closed design throughout, drift gates before every mutation, digest-authorized recovery, nonce authentication for child mutations, and independent model verification for byte-localized edits.
  • jsonc-parser@3.3.1 is a legitimate, well-maintained Microsoft dependency (VS Code's parser), properly justified for AST-based byte-preserving JSON/JSONC edits. Pin matches lockfile. No typosquat.
  • resolveGitPayloadDigest fetches only codeload.github.com with a hardcoded hostname and a validated 40-char commit SHA — no SSRF surface.
  • gunzipSync in gitArchivePayloadDigest is a bounded synchronous call (64 MiB compressed / 160 MiB unpacked cap) on a planning-time path, not a hot loop — acceptable trade-off for the tar parsing simplicity.
  • readMcpNodeValue in mcp-edit.ts uses a module-level activeRaw global for raw-text extraction; it is synchronous and test-only, so no concurrency hazard, but the shared mutable global is a minor maintainability note (non-blocking).
  • Validation: tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean across all packages, 230 update unit tests pass (227 + 3 pre-existing skips), 204 MCP+skills tests pass (198 + 6 skips), pnpm audit --prod clean.

Verdict: APPROVE — the three new commits substantially harden the transaction machinery with no blocking findings; the changes are well-tested and address prior CodeRabbit review feedback. The prior non-blocking refactor suggestion remains resolved and is not re-raised.

🚩 This PR touches the update/rollback transaction machinery, native marketplace identity verification, and MCP configuration editing — all security-adjacent surfaces. A human reviewer should give the full transaction flow a final look before merge.

Attempts rollback only when command arguments contain remove. A failed upgrade command left the updated cache installed with rollbackAttempted: false.

Every failed mutation command must attempt rollback, regardless of its arguments.

restoreFiles() (codex-transaction.ts:369-385) also trusts mutable or missing backups and overwrites concurrent edits. Reproductions showed concurrent edits being lost and tampered backups reported as successfully restored.

Make the drift injection independent of microtask counting.

The concurrent-edit test depends on the exact number of microtask ticks between the digest capture in executeCodexTransaction and the live read in restoreFiles. If a future change adds or removes one await on that path, the write lands too early or too late. The test then still passes while no longer exercising the drift gate.

Trigger the drift from an observable event instead of a fixed tick count, for example by writing the drifted bytes from a filesystem-independent hook or by asserting the pre-restore digest.

Sort digest keys with a locale-independent comparison.

localeCompare uses the runtime's default collation. That collation depends on the ICU data and on locale environment variables such as LC_ALL and LANG. Digests produced here are persisted in the tracking file and compared later by the ownership gates in fallback-ownership.ts and fallback-transaction.ts. If the collation order changes between the write and the later comparison, the key order changes, the digest changes, and the gate fails closed with a drift error even though nothing drifted.

Use a code-unit comparison so the serialization is stable for any locale.

In `@packages/core/src/mcp/mcp-config-writer.ts`:
- Around line 191-192: Update the rendered server construction in
renderedMcpFieldNames to destructure and exclude the server name before
spreading the remaining fields into the object passed to
applyHarnessWriteFormat. Preserve the name as the map key while ensuring
Object.keys only reports MCP fields, so addTrackedMcps cannot claim a user-owned
name field.

In `@packages/core/src/update/antigravity-transaction.ts`:
- Around line 110-111: Ensure backup-completion flags are set only when the
original backup digest is available: in
packages/core/src/update/antigravity-transaction.ts lines 110-111, handle an
undefined result from treeDigest(rootBackup) as backup failure before setting
rootBackupComplete; in packages/core/src/update/codex-transaction.ts lines
121-122, handle a null result from ownedTreeDigest(cacheBackup) as backup
failure before setting cacheBackupComplete. Keep mutation proceeding only when
the corresponding backup can be authenticated during restore.

In `@packages/core/src/update/fallback-journal.ts`:
- Line 484: Update the snapshot-name validation in isSafeJournal to accept the
platform-defined mkdtemp suffix alphabet, including periods and hyphens, while
retaining the required six-character suffix and existing safe-prefix
constraints. Ensure commitFallbackJournal and restoreFallbackJournal continue to
use this validation unchanged.

Nitpick comments:
In `@packages/core/src/update/mcp-lookup.ts`:
- Line 118: Update the key comparator in stableValue to use deterministic
code-unit ordering instead of localeCompare, ensuring digest serialization
remains identical across locales and runtime ICU configurations while preserving
the existing recursive sorting behavior.

In `@packages/core/test/unit/update/codex-transaction.test.ts`:
- Around line 449-454: The concurrent-edit test around the run callback must
inject the drift based on an observable synchronization point rather than
chained queueMicrotask calls. Update the test so the drifted fixture is written
only after confirming the digest-capture/pre-restore boundary in
executeCodexTransaction or restoreFiles, while preserving the intended exitCode
failure scenario and ensuring the drift gate is actually exercised.

Never render or claim ownership of the McpServerRef name metadata: the
install writer's ownership evidence and the refresh reconciliation values
both strip the ref's name before harness formatting, so a user-authored
name inside a server entry survives reinstall and refresh byte-for-byte
and install-created entries never gain that key. Skip setFields edits
whose current value already equals the desired one so identical-value
refreshes cannot re-serialize and cosmetically drift entry bytes. Treat an
empty, oversized, unsupported, or otherwise undigestible native plugin
tree as a backup failure: Antigravity and Codex now abort before mutation
because no authenticated rollback could be guaranteed, matching the Claude
transaction precedent. Accept the full portable mkdtemp suffix character
set (dot and dash) when validating fallback journal snapshots.

property insertion order, while array ordering remains significant. Preserve the
existing continue behavior only when the values are equivalent, maintaining
byte-preserving handling for unchanged JSONC content.

Harden fallback recovery, MCP reconciliation, and native payload identity.
Add Windows-safe skill materialization and byte-localized TOML edits.
Persist verified Claude recovery bundles before mutation and restore
registration state with immutable digest and exact mode checks.
- claude-transaction restore(): keep the exact 0600 gate on POSIX; on
  Windows accept a writable file, since chmod there only toggles the
  read-only bit and 0600 is not observable (every restore was rejected)
- claude-transaction tests: platform-aware private-mode expectations and
  a separator-portable manifest backup-path assertion
- fallback-transaction drift test: redirect USERPROFILE alongside HOME
  because os.homedir() follows USERPROFILE on Windows
- pin marketplace versionSource revision+commit to the resolved artifact
  commit at planning (native guard no longer false-rejects mutable refs)
- fail closed on structural edits to an empty MCP JSON document
- record fallback manifest temp dirs on the plan item; never derive
  recursive deletes from command arguments
- include preserved backup locations in the Codex timeout error
- compare TOML datetime values by getTime() before the record branch
- make the moved-home drift assertion non-vacuous
Track only NodeSource-rendered MCP fields in refresh and install so
user-added fields survive repeated runs. Gate fallback journal snapshot
cleanup on the exact mkdtemp shape and realpath containment, and preflight
every backup digest before any destructive restore. Roll back failed Codex
commands whenever mutation started, authenticating backups against digests
captured at backup time with drift-gated, digest-verified restore. Require
exact nsolid-plugin identity in Antigravity staged and restored state, and
authenticate Antigravity backups against persisted original digests. Prove
the fallback child's claimed state from journal digests before committing.
Never render or claim ownership of the McpServerRef name metadata: the

both strip the ref's name before harness formatting, so a user-authored
