U4a of the split of this pull: read-scope recording and the guarded text writer - #1913
This pull now carries unit U4a of the split plan recorded on the unit tracking issue, and unit U4a alone: #2019 (comment)
What is here. The guarded text writer and everything that reads through it: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts with its canonical key walk, staging and durability errors and ancestor and dangling-link refusals, its two new spec files, src/utils/fileLock.ts and its new canonical-key spec, ReadFileTool and its spec, the indentation reader and its two specs, and the one eslint-suppressions.json hunk. The json publish layer and the MCP call sites are no longer in this pull: they travel on branch fws/u4b-json-publish as unit U4b, stacked on this head, and its pull names this pull as its dependency.
Width. At head bb89f14 against main tip 53cb5b5, measured with a blob-exact copy of scripts/stryker-diff.mjs blob 7dfe0006d2d5c7e4d2282f65f68b8ed5f16866bc, whose caps are 500 counted executable lines at line 11 and 400 instrumented mutants at line 12: 319 counted executable lines, 119 selectors, 347 instrumented mutants from 4 instrumented files. The gate as shipped, node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base 53cb5b5 --head bb89f14, prints extension 319 lines and exit 0. Standalone width 11 files, 3791 insertions, 13 deletions; that is over the 400 soft add-and-delete figure and under the 1000 hard one, and the reason is that 8 of the 11 files are specs, which the gate charges nothing to either cap. The pull this unit was split from carried 484 counted lines, 185 selectors and 535 instrumented mutants at head acc49b9, and the half that left carries 167 lines, 68 selectors and 188 instrumented mutants against this head, so 347 plus 188 equals 535 instrumented mutants, which is the parent figure exactly. Every mutant figure here is an instrumented count on a host where every dry run aborts at the initial test run.
Two sentences carried verbatim, each on its own line:
a green local preflight over Valid 0, Killed 0, Survived 0 and No coverage 0 with blocking 0 and advisories 2 is not evidence in either direction on this machine
the mutation leg is unmeasured, a PASS over an empty digest is not evidence in either direction, and CI at the first pushed unit is the only proof of the gate
No figure above is called green and none of them is a CI figure.
The one edit this unit makes beyond what it ports. resolvePublishTarget at src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts line 195 and canonicalDirKey at line 220 are declared without the export keyword here. The only non-test importer of that file in this unit is src/utils/fileLock.ts and it imports resolveLockKey alone; the consumers of those two names live in unit U4b, which re-adds the keyword with them. The knip context was run rather than assumed: the repository's own command, knip 5.88.1 through knip --treat-config-hints-as-errors as declared in knip.json, exits 0 with 0 bytes of output at this unit's tree both with and without the keyword, and with one extra export nothing imports it exits 1 and prints Unused exports 1 naming it, so the rule is live on this file and the zero is a measured zero. knip.json sets ignoreExportsUsedInFile to true and both names are called inside their own declaring file at line 263 and line 294, which is why keeping them exported here cost nothing. The keyword is therefore not a knip requirement, and no knip config entry was added for it.
What this lane ran on this head, and what those runs do not prove. prettier 3 across the repository exits 0; tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit at the repository root exits 0 with no output and tsc --noEmit from the src directory exits 0 with 0 error lines; eslint 9.39.5 with --prune-suppressions and --max-warnings=0 run from the src directory on the file it touched exits 0 and the suppressions file was restored to the blob this pull already carries; the two specs that import safeWriteText.ts ran through vitest 4.1.12 as 2 files and 67 tests, all passing, exit 0; husky ran lint-staged on the commit and ran the type checks on the push. No changeset file was added and no changelog was edited, and the one suppression figure in this pull goes down rather than up: core/tools/tests/readFileTool.spec.ts at no-explicit-any from 96 to 94. None of that is CI evidence, none of it is coverage evidence, and the mutation figures above are counts of instrumented mutants, not verdicts about them.
Review threads after the rewrite, measured rather than asserted. The pull keeps its threads; none of them moved to the new pull. Of the 100 newest review comments on this pull, read after this push and covering created 2026-11-09T07:13:28Z through 2026-11-12T00:47:17Z, 72 sit on paths that travelled to U4b - src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts 60, src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts 7, src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts 5 - and all 72 now carry a null line with an original line, which is GitHub's own outdated marking: force-pushing a rewritten branch re-anchors and renumbers. The other 28 of those 100 sit on paths this pull keeps and still carry a line number: safeWriteText.ts 22, fileLock.ts 4, readFileTool.spec.ts 2. The thread 4544793528 and the answer posted into it at 4544885792 are among those 72: both read line null with original line 119 on src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts, and the row and the guard that thread is about travel in U4b, whose body names both ids. These counts rest on the 100 newest of the three pages of this pull's review-comment listing; the oldest 100 were read in the same round and were not classified line by line, and the middle 100 were not read, so no figure here is a whole-thread census.
Owed and open on this unit. The ask that the non-ENOENT failure inside resolveLockKey at src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts lines 264 to 275 is swallowed rather than propagated is still owed to this pull and stays open: it is not answered here, and nothing in this body claims it is.
This unit closes the tracking issue its own body names when this pull merges, and the follow-on unit of the same plan merges after it on pull 2433, so the only thing on this pull that this body resolves is that tracker, no re-review is requested by it, and the previous title and body of this pull were not read by the lane that replaced them, so no figure for them is quoted here.
Closes#2019, the unit tracker for U4a, a keyword line this campaign added on 2026-11-12 rather than reproduced, because no artifact on this machine holds the body this pull carried before the campaign rewrote it, so there were no bytes to restore and this line is new. It is the only keyword-reference pair in this body, and the campaign's earlier account of this unit, which sits one paragraph above this one and was written by the campaign on 2026-11-12, is left standing and is not quoted here, because the sentence this paragraph used to quote was removed from the body on 2026-11-12 and a paragraph that quotes a sentence the document no longer contains is how the contradiction began. Unit U4b of the same plan travels onward on pull 2433, which is to merge after this one and carries a plain citation of this tracker by number with no keyword line of its own, and that order is the plan the campaign recorded, not an observation of a merge. Whether the platform now shows a closing link from this pull to #2019 has not been read by this lane at any hour tonight, so this line claims the keyword and its shape and says nothing about a sidebar.
Resolve them on the pull request, or post @coderabbitai approve as a new top-level comment to resolve them and request approval.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
File reads now report when returned lines are clipped, separately from notices that additional lines were omitted.
File updates can be published through a staged, atomic replacement, with optional backups of existing files.
Bug Fixes
File-read records now reflect whether the returned content is complete and unchanged, and are skipped when file metadata changes during reading or the task is canceled. These checks do not cause an otherwise successful read to fail.
File operations through symlink aliases now share the same lock.
Text reads now report clipping separately from truncation and record observations only for stable, non-aborted reads. A new staged text-write API adds target resolution, optional backups, durability checks, Windows DACL handling, and canonical lock keys.
Changes: File observations and read completeness
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Track clipped lines in reader results src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, src/integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader*.spec.ts
Reader results expose whether returned lines were clipped, separately from whether lines were omitted. Tests cover slice and indentation results, including empty and error cases.
Record stable read observations src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
Native and legacy reads compare file-version tokens before and after reading. Observations are withheld for aborted reads, failed stats, or changed tokens. Completeness also reflects clipping, truncation, read offsets, indentation views, and lossy UTF-8 decoding.
The new API resolves write targets and canonical lock keys. withFileLock acquires the canonical key while passing the original path to its operation. Tests cover target and lock-key resolution, symlinks, and staging-path validation.
Publish staged writes and clean up src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText*.spec.ts
safeWriteText writes and fsyncs staged content, then publishes it by rename. It supports optional backups, permission preservation, durability checks, Windows DACL handling, and best-effort cleanup. Unit and filesystem tests cover publication and failure paths.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2357 — Has overlapping observation, clipping, and safeWriteText contracts in the same files.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2433 — Stacks on this PR and imports its target-resolution and canonical-directory helpers.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1918 — Its guarded-write flow depends on the read-completeness and safe-write behavior added here.
Merge Risk: Low · up to cf7ab
The new lock-key and read-observation code has several open, mostly minor review concerns about race windows, durability and error handling. None is shown to break a production path today. Owners should confirm which are deferred to the follow-up unit before merging.
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.

Explanation
The title names the two main parts of this unit: read-scope recording in ReadFileTool and the guarded text writer (safeWriteText). Both appear in the changeset summary, so the title matches the main change. It is long at 14 words and uses the internal label 'U4a of the split of this pull', which a teammate scanning history would not recognise. It also does not use the tracker issue or the Simplified Technical English style the template asks for.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #2019 is the directly linked tracker. This pull carries only unit U4a. Its read-side requirements are present at head bb89f14.
[#2019 read-side acceptance] The previous FAIL concerned clipping notices for indentation reads. The reviewed head now resolves it. src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts sets hasClippedLines in readWithIndentation for the single-line case (line length above MAX_LINE_LENGTH) and for the expanded path (any returned line above the cap). readWithSlice sets it from the returned lines. The omitted-lines flag (wasTruncated) stays separate. The summary states ReadFileTool.processTextFile emits a clipping notice separate from the truncation notice. I did not re-read ReadFileTool.ts in this pass, so that part rests on the summary and the changed spec expectations.
[#2019 stat-pair, completeness, abort] The summary and the ReadFileTool spec describe observation only when both bigint stat tokens match and the task is not aborted. Stat failures do not fail the read. Completeness is partial for slice, indentation, truncated, clipped, and lossy reads. These behaviors are asserted in src/core/tools/tests/readFileTool.spec.ts. This pass did not re-execute those tests.
[#2019 MCP confinement and Task.disposeOnce registry retirement] These criteria are not implemented in this pull. The pull description moves the json publish layer and MCP call sites to U4b (branch fws/u4b-json-publish, pull 2433). The issue describes a two-pull delivery. Per the review scope, sibling-unit work is not required of this pull. Those criteria remain open until U4b lands. Their absence here is not a coding failure of U4a.
[Non-ENOENT errors in resolveLockKey] The request to propagate non-ENOENT failures is a review thread request, not a #2019 acceptance criterion. It is recorded as still open and is not assessed here.
Unresolved uncertainty: the test outcomes and the disposeOnce behavior were not independently executed in this pass.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed files support the read-scope recording requirement of #2019 or the guarded write primitive that U4b uses for MCP settings confinement.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts and its specs: the guarded writer and its refusal rules. U4b depends on these for project-scoped writes.
src/utils/fileLock.ts and src/utils/tests/fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts: canonical lock keys for aliased paths. This supports the shared write guard.
src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts and its spec: observation recording and clipping and truncation notices. This is the read-side requirement of #2019.
src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts and its specs: the hasClippedLines contract that ReadFileTool consumes.
src/eslint-suppressions.json: one count decrease in readFileTool.spec.ts. This is a housekeeping change tied to the touched spec.
The export-keyword change on resolvePublishTarget and canonicalDirKey is a visibility edit. It is not product behavior and does not change any requirement.
No unrelated product behavior was demonstrated in the files reviewed.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The changed paths do not match any failure condition in the "Security boundaries" check: no secret or PII leak, no unvalidated input executed or trusted, and no approval or allowlist bypass. Evidence from the diff (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head): - src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (new):safeWriteText checks any caller-supplied tempPath. It must sit in the target's directory and must be a regular file, not a symlink. Otherwise it throws StagingPathError before any write. Existing symlinks resolve to their referent. resolvePublishTarget falls back to the literal path only on ENOENT and only when lstat also reports the path absent. Staging directories use mode 0o700, and backups use 0o600. Windows DACL failures refuse the publish before commit. Nothing here logs secrets or content. - src/utils/fileLock.ts:acquireFileLock now locks the canonical key from resolveLockKey. The lock path changes, but no permission or approval check is removed. withFileLock still passes the caller's path to its operation. - src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts: the change adds stat-token capture and observation recording, plus completeness flags. The access checks before fullPath are unchanged. The observation registry records state only. It does not grant access or change what is returned beyond the added clipping and truncation notices. - Indentation reader and eslint-suppressions: only clipping metadata and one suppression count change. safeWriteText is tagged @internal and has no production caller in this unit. Its only non-test importer is fileLock.ts, which imports resolveLockKey alone. The author's noted resolveLockKey error-swallowing concern is a correctness and concurrency issue, not a security boundary under this check's criteria.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
PR #1913 (author easonLiangWorldedtech) changes three areas that touch persistence. No changed path meets a failure condition of the Persistence integrity check. 1. Guarded text writer, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (new file, 660 lines): - Every step is awaited or uses a sync call that completes before the next step. The staging file is written, then fsynced, then renamed onto the target with fs.rename. This is an atomic publish. - Non-backup mode replaces the target in one rename. Pre-commit failures unlink the staged file and its staging directory. The target keeps its old content. - Backup mode copies the target to a 0o600 backup, fsyncs it, and deletes it after success. On a pre-commit failure the backup is unlinked and the target is untouched. - Partial-failure behavior is explicit. A parent-directory fsync failure after commit throws PostCommitDurabilityError. A failed DACL restore after commit throws DaclRestoreError and keeps the backup for recovery. A DACL inspect or save failure before commit throws DaclInspectionError and nothing is published. - The failure handler does not roll back after the commit rename. This is deliberate, and the code comments explain why. 2. Lock key, src/utils/fileLock.ts: acquireFileLock now awaits resolveLockKey before taking the lock. This only changes which lock file is used. Lock files are transient, so no persisted state is changed. 3. ReadFileTool.ts observation recording: the observation registry is in memory. It is not persisted, so this check does not apply to it. Scope limits: - The grep shows safeWriteText has no production caller in this PR. The only non-test importer is fileLock.ts, which imports resolveLockKey. The writer's persistence paths are therefore not reachable from runtime code in this PR. - resolveLockKey catches all errors from its first attempt and then uses a fallback walk (the open author request). In the fallback, non-ENOENT realpath errors still rethrow from canonicalDirKey, and the spec at safeWriteText.spec.ts line 1551 asserts an EACCES rejection. I found no concrete trigger for a lost update from this. It is an open review item, not a failure under this check.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The changed lifecycle paths do not leak a listener, watcher, provider, timer, or task, and do not duplicate work after cancellation or disposal. Evidence checked at the review head: - ReadFileTool observation path (native and legacy). Both read paths add two fs.stat calls. The post-read stat and the observe call run only when !task.abort, and the condition is re-checked after the await. task.observationRegistry already exists at base (Task.ts:302), and Task.ts:3784 closes it on dispose. The existing Task.dispose.test.ts (lines 165–168) confirms that a post-close observe is a no-op. The stat calls are one-shot promises with no timers or listeners, so no resource is retained. - safeWriteText file descriptors. Every openSync in the new code is paired with closeSync in a finally (lines 423–438, 453–461, 523–534, 555–560). The backup seed fd is closed right after open. - safeWriteText cleanup. The outer catch (lines 615–658) unlinks tempPath, removes stagingDir, unlinks daclDumpPath, and removes the backup on pre-commit failure. Step 1 runs inside the outer try, so its failures also reach this cleanup. Cleanup calls are best-effort and do not mask the original error. The onWarning callback is not awaited, so a sink cannot delay or hang the write. - icacls child processes._saveDaclWindows and _restoreDaclWindows wrap execFile callbacks in promises and run only on Windows. Neither sets a timer or listener. - fileLock.acquireFileLock now computes the canonical key with resolveLockKey before lockfile.lock. The release contract and the update/stale options are unchanged. resolveLockKey swallows errors and returns a bounded result, so it adds no pending state. Not a lifecycle finding: the unanswered request about swallowing non-ENOENT errors in resolveLockKey concerns error propagation, not resource cleanup. The check does not cover it. No changed path matches the failure condition.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is long and detailed. It names the files in scope, the test runs, the size-gate figures, and the tracker link. It does not follow the template: the 'Test Procedure' section is missing its own steps for reviewers to repeat, and the 'Pre-Submission Checklist' is not completed. The 'Closes #2019' line is a tracker for U4a, not a PR-specific issue link. The body contains long paragraphs with dense, non-STE style sentences, several of which are hard to parse. It also contains unresolved text about review threads and an open request on resolveLockKey error handling that the author states is not answered. Most required information is present, but the structure and clarity do not meet the template.
Resolution
Rewrite the body to follow the repository template. Use the required headings: Related GitHub Issue, Description, Test Procedure, Pre-Submission Checklist, Documentation Updates, and Additional Notes. Keep the Description short. State the implementation approach, the reason for the split, and what reviewers must check. Move the mutation-gate counts and review-thread statistics to Additional Notes or remove them. In Test Procedure, list the exact commands and the spec files that reviewers should run. Complete the checklist, and state whether documentation updates are needed. Use short active sentences with one idea each, and avoid contractions. Resolve the open request on non-ENOENT failures in resolveLockKey, or state a clear reason for the deferral.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
Summary: The changed resolveLockKey error branch still has no regression test. The standing FAIL remains valid at the current head. Changed behavior.resolveLockKey is a new export in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (lines 261-276). Its catch block runs a link walk. Line 270 reads const target = await fs.readlink(key).catch(() => undefined). Every readlink error becomes "not a link", including EACCES and EIO. The walk then returns canonicalDirKey(key) for the alias path. The catch runs when resolvePublishTarget or canonicalDirKey throws. A writer that locks the referent then uses a different lock key from the alias. The lock no longer protects the file. Head state. The reviewed head is cf7ab260. Commits bf215bb4 and cf7ab260 do not change safeWriteText.ts or the resolveLockKey tests. git diff f0d2c1bd cf7ab260 shows only fileLock.ts, lockKeyAlignment.spec.ts, and the fileLock use of resolveLockKey. The code and the test gap from the prior run are unchanged. Existing coverage, checked at head: - safeWriteText.spec.ts lines 1336-1349 (dangling link): readlink resolves. This is a success path. - Lines 1351-1363 (two-link cycle): readlink resolves. This is a success path. - Lines 1536-1552: readlink rejects with ENOENT only. The test asserts EACCES from realpath in canonicalDirKey. The readlink mock is never reached because realpath(target) succeeds in that test. - fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts line 41: readlink rejects with EINVAL. This is the normal not-a-link path. - A repository-wide search finds no test where readlink rejects with EACCES, EIO, or a code-less error for resolveLockKey. If line 270 were changed to propagate non-ENOENT errors, no test would fail. The PR description also states that this request is still owed and open. Check application. The omitted error branch has a plausible regression scenario and a concrete outcome change (a wrong lock key). This matches the check's failure condition for an affected error branch that is omitted. The changed behavior lacks focused coverage at the unit layer. Prior failure disposition. The prior claims are accurate at the current head. The code at lines 261-276 is unchanged. No test covers the non-ENOENT readlink branch. The prior FAIL is not addressed, so this run records FAIL.
Resolution
In src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts, inside describe("resolveLockKey") (around lines 1320-1364), add a test. Make fs.realpath reject for the alias path with ENOENT. Make fs.lstat return a symbolic-link stat. Make fs.readlink reject with an error whose code is EACCES. 2. Choose one behavior and change the code to match it in the same change: - Preferred: propagate. In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts line 270, map only ENOENT and not-a-link codes (for example EINVAL) to undefined. Rethrow other errors. Assert that resolveLockKey rejects with the EACCES error. - Alternative: keep the fallback. Assert the fallback key. Document the reason in the comment at lines 265-267. 3. Leave the dangling-link and two-link cycle tests (lines 1336-1363) unchanged.

Correction to my two replies on this PR (4512631836 and 4512632117): an unmeasured number went into them. I wrote that no code owner has a review event here and parenthesised it as "225-plus review events". 225 is #2359's review-event count; I had not measured #1913 at all when I wrote it. Measured now, /pulls/1913/reviews paged per_page=100&page=N until a short page (page 1 returned 100, page 2 returned 92 and ended the loop): #1913 has 192 review events, by author {"coderabbitai[bot]":75,"easonLiangWorldedtech":52}, by type {"Bot":75,"User":52}, by state {"CHANGES_REQUESTED":23,"COMMENTED":104}, with 8 non-empty review bodies, all coderabbitai's.
The substantive claim survives the correction and is the sentence this campaign now uses everywhere: there is no review event on this PR from any account other than the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone but the bot. The qualifier matters because the author's own 92 COMMENTED events are typed User, so a filter that merely excludes user.type == Bot counts them as human and reports a reviewed PR that nobody has reviewed.
Second correction, against my own last comment (6739902153): its prose disagreed with its own data. The embedded JSON in that comment is the measurement; the sentences around it were wrong, because I wrote #2357's figures (192 events, 100 bot, 92 author, 8 non-empty bodies) from memory into a comment about #1913. The measured state of #1913, from the paged loop recorded in the same step that posted that comment:
review events: 127, read per_page=100&page=N until a short page (page 1 returned 100, page 2 returned 27 and ended the loop)
by author: {"coderabbitai[bot]":75,"easonLiangWorldedtech":52}
by type: {"Bot":75,"User":52}
by state: {"CHANGES_REQUESTED":23,"COMMENTED":104}
review events with a non-empty body: 25, and every one of them is coderabbitai's.
The claim those two replies were making is unaffected: no review event on this PR comes from any account other than the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body comes from anyone but the bot. The author's 52 COMMENTED events are typed User, which is why this campaign stopped saying "zero human review events".

Failed pre-merge checks:

Add an MCP call-site test with provider `cwd` unavailable. Mock
`getWorkspacePath()` to return a distinct path and assert that the project write
uses it for both the settings path and `confineTo`. Retain the explicit-`cwd`
and global-write tests.
- Security Boundaries:
Reject unapproved symlink destinations for credential-bearing exports. Prevent
confined MCP writes from staging or publishing through swapped ancestors, using
handle-relative no-follow operations or failing closed when those guarantees are
unavailable. Add regression tests for both cases, including transient credential
exposure.
- Persistence Integrity:
Prevent redirected publication from overwriting an outside file. Make escape
rollback safe against concurrent replacement, or leave the file intact and
report `ConfinedPathEscapeError` when safe removal cannot be guaranteed. Add
regression tests for replacement between the final stat and unlink, and for an
existing outside target.
- 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.

Item 1 of 4, Regression Evidence (review 5843751481). Checked at 44a862d (pushed now; parent 8289534). This PR's own merge base: 73931fe.
The ask was a call-site row with the provider cwd unavailable, a distinct mocked getWorkspacePath, and assertions on both the settings path and confineTo, keeping the explicit-cwd and global-write rows. Done in 8289534: src/services/mcp/tests/McpHub.spec.ts:1304-1321 sits inside describe("project-scoped write confinement at every call site") (1235-1322) and asserts the fallback settings path at 1319 and confineTo "/fallback/workspace" at 1320. The distinct path comes from the file-level pass-through vi.mock of ../../../utils/path at 163. McpHub.ts was not touched by that commit (blob 50ae26ebb320), so the fix is test-only, and the rest of the file is intact (3,637 rows, blob 31792de54579).
Negative controls, all in wt-r160-1913 on node v22.23.4 over the 94 rows of McpHub.spec that exercise this path:
M-C, confineTo at McpHub.ts:2142 taken from the provider cwd only: 2 failed, 92 passed (it also breaks the global-write row).
M-P, the fallback at McpHub.ts:2080 replaced with a different resolved workspace: 1 failed, 93 passed. That is the isolating kill of the new row.
M-E, the default parameter at 634 set to the empty string: survived, 94 passed, because every call site passes the root explicitly. The new row does not claim 634.
Price: 500 changed executable lines and 192 selectors at 73931fe, and the same 500 and 192 at main tip 18861b2 through the clean synthetic merge d906391b849b (tree 7d85125c6cbc), advisories 1 on both legs. Spec rows did not move that number.
Item 2a of 4, Security Boundaries first clause (review 5843751481). Checked at 44a862d.
"Reject unapproved symlink destinations for credential-bearing exports" is not a live ask against this tree. Measured over src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts at 44a862d: 0 rows name an export-of-servers path (no exportServers, serversFile, exportedServers or equivalent identifier), and the exported names in that file are the connection types at 48, 56 and 63, DisableReason at 66, ServerConfigSchema at 158 and class McpHub at 165. The blob is 50ae26ebb320, identical at this head and at 1914's head, so the credential-bearing export the item names is machinery this PR neither carries nor reaches.
Skipped for that measured reason rather than by silence, and no change was made for it. The second clause of the same item is answered in the next comment.
Item 2b of 4, Security Boundaries second clause (review 5843751481). Checked at 44a862d.
The ask: confined MCP writes must not stage or publish through swapped ancestors, using handle-relative no-follow operations, or failing closed when those guarantees are unavailable, with regression tests.
What the shipped tree does, quoted at this head:
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:60-78 documents confineTo, and 72-76 states plainly that openat and renameat style handle-relative operations are not available from Node's fs API on Windows. That is the premise the ask's fail-closed alternative rests on.
443-453 is that fail-closed branch after staging: 444-445 resolve the published path and the confined root, and the branch throws ConfinedPathEscapeError (declared at 84-95) when the publish target left the confined root. 188-207 then refuses to undo a publish whose file identity changed.
Pinned by src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts:1266 "refuses and undoes the publish when an ancestor is swapped after the final check": 1293 rejects ConfinedPathEscapeError, 1296 asserts nothing was left at the swapped-in root, 1299 asserts the moved-aside copy still holds the original bytes, and 1305-1307 is the contrast row showing that a write whose target is outside the confined root is refused the same way.
Carrier, measured with git diff -U0 against 73931fe: 60-78 is 19 of 19 lines this PR added, 188-207 is 20 of 20, 443-453 is 11 of 11, and 84-95 is 11 of 12. The guarantee is therefore answered by code 1913 itself holds, and it is fail-closed rather than handle-relative because the handle-relative primitive is unavailable on the platform these tests run on. No change made: the shipped behaviour is already the ask's fallback branch, and the row above pins it.
Item 3 of 4, Persistence Integrity (review 5843751481). Checked at 44a862d. Live, and fixed in the pushed commit.
undoEscapedPublish (src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:188-207) reads the published bytes and compares them with what we staged at 196-199, then re-stats and requires the same dev, ino and size at 203-205 before unlinking at 206. A peer that renames an equal-length copy over the published file after our commit passes the byte comparison, so only the identity comparison can stop the unlink from deleting that peer's file. Row 1332-1358 in src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts keeps the bytes equal and swaps the file between the read and the re-stat: 1352 asserts the escaped file is left in place, and 1357 then asserts that with the identity unchanged the same call still undoes the publish, so the guard is not read as a blanket refusal. That is the replacement-between-final-stat-and-unlink row the item asked for.
Control: in wt-r160-1913 on node v22.23.4, rewriting the guard at 203 to drop the dev, ino and size comparison gives 1 failed, 56 passed, 4 skipped, and the only failure is the new row. Unmutated with the fix: 57 passed, 4 skipped.
The existing-outside-target half is answered by code already here plus that guard: 1266 pins that an escaped publish is refused and nothing is written outside the confined root, and 196-199 means a pre-existing outside file is only removed when its bytes already match what we staged. Not done: refusing the removal outright and reporting instead. That needs new source lines in this file and crosses the gate, priced in the last comment.
Price with this row: 500 changed executable lines and 192 selectors at 73931fe, and 500 and 192 at main tip 18861b2 via synthetic merge d906391b849b. The spec additions did not move the count.
Item 4 of 4, Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (review 5843751481). Checked at 44a862d. Live, and fixed by reordering the code rather than by pinning the defect.
Before this commit the catch path ran the confinement recheck and threw the escape at 488, ahead of the backup rollback and the staged .new cleanup, so a recheck failure skipped both teardown steps. At the pushed head that block sits at src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:516-531, with the escape throw at 529 after the rollback and the staged-file cleanup, and originalError still thrown at 534. The commit changes nothing about what the escape reports: it is still ConfinedPathEscapeError.
Carrier, measured with git diff -U0 against 73931fe: of head lines 481-529, 24 are lines this PR's own diff added and 25 are inherited context, and the 16 rows the pushed commit moved are all lines 1913 added. The commit converts no inherited line.
Row 1359-1406 in src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts pins the ordering: 1398 the escape is still reported, 1401 a rename left the backup path, which is the rollback being attempted, 1403 the original bytes are back at the target, 1405 no staged .new residue. Controls, same worktree and node v22.23.4: installing the shipped ordering text (blob 7514b924265c) makes this row fail, 1 failed and 60 selected, on the rollback assertion, so the row fails without the fix; voiding the rollback rename gives 3 failed, 54 passed; voiding the staged-file unlink gives 3 failed, 54 passed and, selected alone, fails this row.
"Retain and report failed backup deletions" names code this PR's diff does not touch: the retention block at 456-469 has 0 of 14 lines in this PR's added set, and it is where a backup whose delete failed is kept and reported instead of swallowed.
Not done, and priced: the safe-cleanup path for a retained backup, and the sibling ask in thread 4505068052 to record commit success before undoing an escaped publish, both need new source lines in this file. The PR stands at exactly 500 changed executable lines and 192 selectors at both named bases. A probe commit adding one small bounded change to _copyTargetMode (8 lines, probe commit c7de3f00eed8, kept off this branch) prices at 506 lines against 73931fe and 507 against main tip 18861b2 (synthetic merge 1c09a5e96d1b), so those are follow-up work, not content trimmed to fit.
Structural-line threads, re-derived at 44a862d (pushed now; parent 8289534). One comment for eight roots, because they share a reason rather than a finding, and each root is named below with what is true of it at this head.
Measurement basis. The pushed commit touched three files. src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (blob 523fa5aaf4a8) and src/utils/fileLock.ts (blob 6ca70045661c) are byte-identical at 8289534 and at 44a862d, so nothing cited in them moved. Inside src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts the commit moved one 16-row block out of the catch path: every line at or before 474 keeps its number, the moved block now occupies 516-531, and every line after 531 shifts by one. Two roots sit in that file and moved; six did not.
Roots whose hunk did not move, cited line verified present at this head:
4505068028, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:578, the _restoreDaclWindows call. Inside 572-590, 19 of 19 lines this PR added.
4505068030, src/utils/fileLock.ts:87, the acquireFileLock call. 84-90 is 4 of 7 lines this PR added and 87 is one of them.
4505068039, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:308, the brace closing the lock-key re-derivation comparison at 306-308.
4505070441, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:322, the brace closing the staging-directory check that throws at 318-321.
4505070456, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:198, the early return inside undoEscapedPublish. The guard that decides whether that return fires is 203-205, and row 1332-1358 of src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts now pins it: with the file identity changed and the bytes equal the publish is left alone, and with the identity unchanged it is still undone.
4505108188, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:208, return absoluteFilePath at the end of the resolvePublishTarget link handling, with the throw for a real link at 207.
Roots whose hunk moved under the cited line:
4505068056, cited at 490 at the time you wrote it, now 531: the brace closing the confinement recheck block that sits at 516-531. GitHub reports line null for the comment because the position left the diff. The block it closes is 16 rows that this PR's own diff added, and the pushed commit moved it behind the backup rollback and the staged-file cleanup.
4505070464, cited at 599, now 600: the brace closing _copyTargetMode, reached by the one-line shift after 531.
Shared reason, stated plainly: for the six, the cited line is still exactly where you cited it and the code around it is the same bytes, so the hunk did not move and nothing about it changed under the pushed commit; for the two, the hunk moved under the cited line, and the substance of that move is answered in thread 4505068052 and in the Lifecycle Resource Cleanup comment on this PR. Each of these eight roots already carries a reply from an earlier round and now carries this re-derivation at the new head, so none is being closed by silence. No mutation of any file was made for these eight, and they are left open pending a reviewer pass, because the finding text on each is a structural position rather than a behaviour this commit altered.
Red misc arm fixed from the job log plus filesystem measurement. Commit 33ca46a on top of 44a862d.
Failing job and check-run 129946625964, platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest), run 42849692227, 2026-11-10T15:57:01Z to 16:00:14Z, lane pnpm run test:coverage:misc exited 1. One row failed: safeWriteJson > leaves the escaped publish alone when the file identity changed although the bytes stayed equal, AssertionError: expected false to be true // Object.is equality, at utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts:1352:44. Lane totals 1 failed | 118 passed | 2 skipped (121) files, 1 failed | 2124 passed | 24 skipped (2149) tests, which is the 1 failed of 2,149 the reviewer reported.
The mechanism, measured rather than assumed: the row swapped the file with rmSync followed by writeFileSync of the same 13 bytes from inside the readFile mock, and undoEscapedPublish re-stats dev, ino and size just before unlinking at src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:202-206. On ext4 an unlink plus a create of the same bytes reuses dev, ino and size (two probes in WSL2 Ubuntu printed the same inode on both sides of such a swap, dev 2128), so the guard read an unchanged identity and unlinked the publish, which is exactly expected false to be true at line 1352. On NTFS the same swap changes the inode (measured 1970324844486306 to 2251799821196962), which is why the windows arm was green at 119 files and 2,123 passing tests. The swap now writes the equal-bytes peer file to a sibling path and renames it over the target, because a rename changes the inode on both filesystems (ext4 measured 12339 to 819199 and 819214 to 819241, NTFS changed in both runs), keeps the bytes equal, and is the pattern the guarded writer itself uses. Every assertion is unchanged, so the row states the identity change its name claims on every runner instead of relying on what one filesystem happens to do with a rewrite.
A test.skipIf for non-Windows runners would have turned the arm green by deleting the only Linux exercise of a guard whose whole job is to notice an identity change, and the ext4 numbers above are exactly the case the guard is written for, so it was rejected. compile on this head sits outside the 100-row check-run page that was read, so its state is not claimed here.
Caveat stated rather than hidden: the Linux half of this rests on the inode measurements, because the local WSL2 Ubuntu distro has no node and cannot run vitest, so CI is the only Linux proof of this arm. Locally at this head, in a worktree installed with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile from this branch's own lockfile, the spec prints 57 passed | 4 skipped (61) at exit 0, eslint --max-warnings=0 on the touched file reports nothing and no suppression was added. The windows arm was cancelled 5 seconds after ubuntu failed by the matrix fail-fast, its own annotation reading The strategy configuration was canceled because "unit-test.ubuntu-latest_ubuntu-late" failed, so it was not a newer push.

Learning: For MCP write-confinement reviews, src/services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts mocks both safeWriteJson and fs/promises. Test caller forwarding of confineTo at this layer for toggleToolAlwaysAllow, updateServerTimeout, and deleteServer, including project and global cases. Real-filesystem confinement enforcement belongs in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts. Do not require duplicate real-writer coverage in the mocked McpHub spec when the writer layer already covers the relevant behavior.

540-542: The catch-path undo still runs when the commit never published anything.
The backupRestored guard skips the undo only after a rollback succeeds. If the commit rename fails without a backup, backupRestored stays false. For example, a non-EPERM error such as EACCES takes no backup. In that case, line 541 still calls undoEscapedPublish(publishedPath, stagedBytes). Nothing establishes that this write created the file at publishedPath. If a file already exists at the escaped location with bytes equal to stagedBytes, the undo deletes it. A previous review raised this same failure mode in "Only undo an escaped file after a successful commit", and that thread is still open.
The fix is to set a committed flag after the line 407 rename succeeds and after the line 423 rename succeeds. Then require committed && !backupRestored before the line 541 undo.
479-483: LGTM!
Also applies to: 494-495, 527-530
src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts: 2
1502-1555: This test asserts that a file this write never published gets deleted.
The test comment at lines 1506-1507 says the escaped bytes "are not a file this write published". The commit rename then fails with EACCES, so this write publishes nothing. Even so, line 1549 expects the file at escaped to be removed. The comment at line 1548 says "The escaped bytes were this write's", which contradicts line 1506.
As written, the test locks in data loss for an outside file whose bytes match the staged payload. A previous review already flagged this test as a data-loss blocker. Change the assertion to expect that the file at escaped still exists with its original bytes. Make that change together with a commit-success guard in safeWriteJson.ts.
Size-cap crossing on head ae7f2e6, with the arithmetic, for a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion
This comment carries one measurement set in the order a maintainer needs it, and one decision that belongs to a maintainer rather than to this branch.
What CI tests, and the instrument this was measured on. GitHub's merge ref for this pull request is refs/pull/1913/merge at 7ef5d19586be697c4c670ef15d3abd67758b39c9, parents [18861b2e357203e6cb4d93930aa2ed122b1eecea (main tip), ae7f2e690a646b816c6ca686fb26d459e4c7b418 (this head)], tree dd575b65cba6321f5de704d1850741da0e79a4ec. A candidate built locally the same way - main tip checked out first, this head merged into it, so the merge commit's first parent is the main tip the gate resolves as its base - is 20549f930edf01122eeb94d550ca3d1d82980e94, and its tree is the same dd575b65cba6321f5de704d1850741da0e79a4ec. The figures below are therefore the figures the mutation-diff leg computes on this head, read on a local copy of that tree: node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci under node v25.9.0 while the package engines declare 22.23.4, the pinned interpreter being the CI leg.
Both sides of the crossing, against the same base 18861b2e3572.

503 - past the limit
Mutation gate failed: extension has 503 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion.
Where the movement is. Recomputed with the gate script's own exported executableChangedLines over the git diff --unified=0 added-line sets, test files excluded - which reproduces both 500 and 503 - the per-file counts are identical on both sides except one file:
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts 132 -> 135
The crossing is three lines wide, not four. The commit adds four counted executable lines against its own parent 33ca46a1e514; the union measured against main grows by three, because one of the four replaces a line this branch had already changed, and a line the branch had already changed is already in the union that main-to-head comparison counts. The other seven counted files - observationRegistry.ts 20, Task.ts 2, ReadFileTool.ts 40, indentation-reader.ts 11, safeWriteText.ts 266, McpHub.ts 27, fileLock.ts 2 - are unchanged by this commit on both sides.
Advisory status, from its source rather than as an assumption. The rulesets REST read of 2026-11-10 against rulesets/15494382 (HTTP 200, 1,776 B) lists required status checks as check-translations, compile, e2e-mock, knip, platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) and platform-unit-test (windows-latest), with strict_required_status_checks_policy: false. mutation-diff is not among the required contexts, so the 503 is an advisory red on an optional leg and its waiver is a maintainer call, not an author-side blocker.
What the crossing buys, priced on its own delta.--base 33ca46a1e514 --head ae7f2e690a reports Mutation-testing 1 package(s) from merge base 33ca46a1e514: extension (4 lines) with digest blocking:0 advisories:0 and
| extension | 4 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Passed |
five valid mutants, five killed, none surviving, none without coverage, no Stryker disable directive and no eslint suppression entry added by this commit. The two catch-side mutants the previous reading left alive - safeWriteJson.ts:483 flipped to true, and :540if (!backupRestored) flipped to if (false), both meaning "never run the escape undo on that path" - are each killed by the row added in the second commit (measured locally: each replacement applied to the file fails exactly that row, 1 failed, 59 passed, 4 skipped).
The before side, run through to its end on this instrument, with the instrument delta disclosed. The same command one commit back - node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base 18861b2e357203e6cb4d93930aa2ed122b1eecea --head 7da07b18eb78b8fabc79a1bcd2d754961028d246 - exits 0 at 500 lines and records two advisories, digested as head:7da07b18eb78b8fabc79a1bcd2d754961028d246 blocking:0 advisories:2 with the row
src/core/task/Task.ts:4437: mutation exclusions must use "// Stryker disable next-line MutatorName: concrete reason"; broad or unreasoned exclusions are not allowed.

05:34:39 (47284) ERROR Stryker There were failed tests in the initial test run.
Both advisories are accounted for, and neither belongs to this delta.
The first names a directive that is main's own. main tip's Task.ts carries that identical text at its line 4425 - // Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression, EqualityOperator: equivalent mutants, streamingKey is always defined here, so both conditions reduce to the partialToolUse check - and its seven directives sit at main [4346, 4399, 4416, 4425, 4844, 4861, 4867] and at this merge candidate [4358, 4411, 4428, 4437, 4856, 4873, 4879]: the same seven, shifted by twelve lines by content the branch carries earlier in the file. The advisory cites line 4437 of the merge candidate. Neither commit in this delta adds a directive, and this row is quoted so the advisory is not absorbed into the exemption asked for here.
The second is the dry run refusing to start, because one test failed in its initial run. That test is machine-dependent by its own account: safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts:25-31 says the row runs the real platform's ACL steps and that "on a machine where icacls cannot put a saved ACL back into a throwaway temp directory this publish reports that error instead of resolving", which is the DaclRestoreError text quoted above (safeWriteText.ts:116). The DACL steps it leans on are win32-gated (safeWriteText.ts:464-466, :572-573), and main carries neither safeWriteText.ts nor that spec. The row fails at the previous pushed head exactly as it fails here, so it is a property of this Windows instrument and of the lineage's earlier safeWriteText work, not of the two commits on this head.
Label for this half: a completed leg on a local copy of the CI-shaped tree under node v25.9.0, not a CI reading. The instrument delta is a local win32 spawn shim in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs - node_modules/.bin/stryker carries no executable extension on Windows, so the script's own spawn exits ENOENT, and the shim spawns process.execPath against node_modules/@stryker-mutator/core/bin/stryker.js instead - kept as an uncommitted patch (n1-stryker-win32-shim.patch) with the committed script pristine in both pushed trees, so nothing of the shim is on the branch.
What this half adds to the picture: at the previous head the leg got past the size check and then lost its run to that machine-dependent row; at this head it stops at the size check. Neither side is a green mutation reading, and the only thing this commit changed in that comparison is the count and the point of failure.
What this comment is for. A maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion of this head from the mutation-diff size cap, on the ground that the crossing is three counted lines wide, sits entirely in one file, and was produced by the fix that row 4528882481 of this review asked for - 4e44e13b51 fix(safe-write-json): do not undo a backup the rollback just restored, whose minimal honest form is a flag set after the rollback rename and a guard on the delete that follows it. It is not an argument for merging anything unreviewed: review state on this head reads CHANGES_REQUESTED with all 45 review threads resolved, and at the 21:09:08Z check-runs read 6 of 17 runs had concluded and 11 were still in progress, so the reviewer verdict and the required legs are where they are independently of this crossing.
And the consequence if it is declined. The alternative is a split that moves four production lines out of this lineage, which re-sequences this branch ahead of zoo-code#1911 in the declared order and spends a review cycle on a three-line width. If the exclusion is declined, the split comes back; the tool boundary reaching a red number here is not the decision.
Check-state note. It describes check-state at the read times named below, and it is not a change to any review verdict.
Head ae7f2e6. Object open, not a draft, label awaiting-author, read 2026-11-11T00:22:13.204Z. The REST pull object carries no review decision field while the GraphQL object reports changes-requested for the same head, and this note takes no position on which instrument governs where the two disagree.
Checks, read 2026-11-11T00:22:09.111Z as 35 rows returned on a request of page size 100 under filter all, which is shorter than the page size and therefore the complete set for this head. Every one of the six contexts the Protect Main ruleset requires reads completed and success, namely check-translations, platform-unit-test on ubuntu-latest, platform-unit-test on windows-latest, compile, knip and e2e-mock. Across those 35 rows only two names carry any row that is not completed and success: CodeRabbit, which has one skipped row among its two rows, and mutation-diff, which has one row, completed and failure, id 130130256800, job window 2026-11-10T21:08:14Z to 21:09:21Z. The mutation-diff check is not one of the required contexts. Its log prints at 2026-11-10T21:09:18.797Z this sentence: Mutation gate failed: extension has 503 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion. That 503 is the script's own measure, because it counts lines covered by executable syntax nodes per package, skips type-only nodes, comments and blank lines, and drops paths under its excluded segments. The script in this pull's tree is 30,108 bytes at sha256 16 c332971815aecfaf, which is the revision that printed the sentence.
Reviews, read 2026-11-11T00:22:11.699Z: 180 rows over 2 pages of size 100, the second page shorter than the page size and so the set complete, counting 26 changes-requested and 154 plain comments. The newest row that is not a plain comment is changes-requested from coderabbitai followed by the bot suffix the review list renders, submitted 2026-11-10T21:32:39Z and keyed to the head above. Six rows are keyed to this head, none of them an approval, and one of them is that changes-requested row.
Review threads read 45 in total with 0 unresolved, from a GraphQL read at 2026-11-11T00:22:13.205Z that returned 45 nodes on a short page, and the same read reports the GraphQL review decision as changes-requested.
Two things are outstanding on this object, and neither of them is this campaign's work. One is the changes-requested row keyed to this head. The other is the approval that the Protect Main ruleset asks of the four accounts named in the ownership file, taltas, JamesRobert20, navedmerchant and edelauna, and that approval is a second requirement standing on its own: it does not clear a changes-requested row, and clearing a changes-requested row does not supply it. The account that opened this pull is not one of those four, so it cannot supply it.
So the label on this object reads as a request about the verdict row and the owner approval, and not as a report that a required check is red, because on the reads above every required context is green and the only failing check is not required.

Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts:
- Around line 109-119: Add an A-to-B-to-A rejection regression in the
safeWriteJson lock-key tests: acquire the lock for target A, capture target B,
then switch the alias back to A before lock-key recomputation. Assert that the
captured-target mismatch rejects before merge or staging, both targets’ contents
remain unchanged, and A’s lock is released.
---
Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add a confined-write test in `src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts` or
`safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts`. The test should: 1. Start with an alias that
resolves to an in-scope referent and pass `confineTo` for the scope. 2. Retarget
the alias to a referent outside the scope inside the mocked `acquireFileLock`,
or at the point the lock is taken. 3. Assert that the write rejects with a
confinement error. 4. Assert that the original lock is released. 5. Assert that
no lock is acquired for the outside referent. 6. Assert that the outside file
content is unchanged.
- Persistence Integrity:
1. In `src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts`, the confined plain-rename commit (line 415)
overwrites an existing outside target with no backup. The post-commit undo
(lines 453-464, 555-557) then unlinks the published bytes. The original outside
content is lost. Keep the prior target before commit on confined writes and
restore it when an escape is detected, or leave the escaped file in place and
only report the escape. 2. `undoEscapedPublish` (lines 200-206) still has a
stat-then-unlink window. Remove the file only when removal is safe against
concurrent replacement. Otherwise leave it and report the escape. 3. Add
regression tests for: (a) an existing outside target replaced via a plain rename
after an ancestor swap, asserting the original bytes survive; (b) a peer
replacing the escaped file between the final stat and unlink, asserting the peer
file survives.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, route each backup cleanup
failure (lines ~538, ~594-596, ~637) through a reporting path. Include
`backupPath` in the message, using `onWarning` or a structured error. 2. Provide
a safe retry or deferred cleanup path for partial and complete backups.
Alternatively, return the backup path to the caller so the caller can remove it.
3. Add regression tests that force `fs.unlink` to fail on each cleanup path: the
partial-copy path, the post-commit success path, and the pre-commit failure
path. Each test should assert that the backup path is reported. 4. Keep the
`DaclRestoreError` retention behavior and its path warning unchanged.

Direct acquireFileLock callers in this repository already pass canonical keys.
Both safeWriteJson acquisitions use keys from resolveLockKey, and withFileLock does too. The realpath: false option in acquireFileLock therefore does not create a current alias bypass. The inspected callers cover the only production acquisition paths.

Line 327 of src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts is the guard that compares the target captured under the lock with the key actually held. Judged plainly the ask is correct: at ff9c4eb the accept path of that guard had a row and the reject path did not. The handover row the finding names moves the alias from A to B and leaves it there, so the recomputed key always agreed with the lock it had just moved to, the loop broke on that pass, and the guard never fired. Nothing drove a captured target that belongs under a different lock than the one held. The file the finding points at lives on this branch, so the remedy here was an edit and not an answer.
Landed as commit acc49b9: 1 file changed, src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts, 58 added, 0 removed. The row sits at lines 218 to 275. refs/pull/1913/head read that oid back at 00:46:23Z, so the pull head carries it.
What the row drives. The alias resolves to A when the lock key is computed, to B while A's lock is being taken, and back to A before the flow recomputes the key under that lock. The recomputation then agrees with the key held, the loop that would move the lock to the current referent breaks on its first pass, and the only thing left standing between this write and the commit rename is the target it captured. The row records the three alias lookups instead of narrating them, line 264, asserts rejection in the guard's own wording, line 257, that A is the only lock acquired and the lock released, lines 267 and 268, that nothing was staged beside either target, line 271, and that both targets still hold the bytes they had before this write tried, lines 273 and 274.
Negative control, so the difference is attributable to the change and not to the machine. Same test file, only src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts swapped by blob.
blob e45bdc1265f2eb41d44d26a4e8b86b02523c5d08, the file at ae7f2e6, the head this pull held before the guard read the captured target: Vitest 4.1.12 reports 2 failed, 4 passed of 6, exit 1. The new row fails at line 257 reporting that the promise resolved undefined instead of rejecting. That code derives the comparison from a second lookup of the alias, sees A, agrees with the key it holds, and renames B's contents away while still holding A's lock. The other failure in that run is the resolution-order row at line 109 that commit ff9c4eb moved from 7 quoted resolve entries to 6; it belongs to that change and is not this row.
blob db8ce07e9ebcbb653bc6df121813bf70daf94615, the file at the head this review row was written against: 6 passed of 6, exit 0. The file was restored byte for byte and its recomputed hash equals that blob.
What the figures prove. The reject path of the guard now has a row that runs through the public entry point in the order the finding names, and the same row resolves instead of rejecting on the pre-change blob, which means the row separates the change from its absence instead of only describing it.
What the figures do not prove. This is a test file. The pricing instrument scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, blob 7dfe0006d2d5c7e4d2282f65f68b8ed5f16866bc, drops any path carrying the test segment, so the row charges no counted line and no mutation selector, and the run made before pushing printed 1 package and extension 484 counted lines against the cap of 500 lines and 400 selectors, the same 484 the instrument printed for ff9c4eb, together with 1 advisory warning that the Stryker preflight could not start on this machine, exit 0. None of that says whether any mutant of the guard is killed. The two sentences this campaign carries, verbatim: a green local preflight over Valid 0, Killed 0, Survived 0 and No coverage 0 with blocking 0 and advisories 2 is not evidence in either direction on this machine. the mutation leg is unmeasured, a PASS over an empty digest is not evidence in either direction, and CI at the first pushed unit is the only proof of the gate.
Gates before the push. prettier --check . over the whole tree, exit 0, All matched files use Prettier code style. tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit, exit 0, 0 lines of output. eslint 9.39.5 run from the src directory with --prune-suppressions and --max-warnings=0 on the touched file, exit 0, 0 lines of output. The suppressions file src/eslint-suppressions.json is unchanged at blob f3714cd1f521c1d34e2dbc252cd7b970d226f6a6: the prune pass re-serialises it to 2fe968c063369bf7916ba9e61b91db89b73ff5f6 with no change in file, rule or occurrence counts, and that rewrite was restored instead of committed. No changeset file and no changelog edit. Both husky hooks ran: pre-commit lint-staged over the staged file, pre-push the check-types chain, 12 tasks successful of 12 total. The push was pinned to a transport read taken at 00:45:21Z that returned ff9c4eb and used --force-with-lease against that oid.

## Test Placement Guidance
- For a guard or validator, test the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point. A test that only rejects bad input does not prove the guard still accepts good input.

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.
Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add a confined-write regression test in
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts` (or
`safeWriteJson.test.ts`). The test should: 1. Start with an alias that resolves
to an in-scope referent. Pass `confineTo` set to the scope directory. 2.
Retarget the alias to an out-of-scope referent inside the mocked
`acquireFileLock` call, or when the first lock is taken. Reuse the `realpath`
and `readlink` mock pattern from the lock-switch test at lines 179-217. 3.
Assert that the write rejects with `ConfinedPathEscapeError`. 4. Assert that the
first (in-scope) lock is released. 5. Assert that no lock is acquired for the
out-of-scope referent. 6. Assert that the out-of-scope file content is
unchanged.
- Persistence Integrity:
1. In `src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts`, for confined writes on the plain-rename
commit path (line 415), keep the prior target before commit, for example with a
backup. Restore it when the post-commit escape check (lines 453-464) detects an
escape. Alternatively, leave the escaped file in place and only report the
escape. Do not unlink it. 2. In `undoEscapedPublish` (lines 188-207), remove the
stat-then-unlink window. Remove the file only when removal is safe against
concurrent replacement. Otherwise leave the file and report the escape. 3. Add
regression tests in `src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts`: (a) An existing
outside target, replaced through a plain rename after an ancestor swap. Assert
that the original outside bytes survive. (b) A peer replacing the escaped file
between the final stat and the unlink. Assert that the peer file survives.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, report each backup cleanup
failure with `backupPath` in the message. Cover the partial-copy unlink (line
538), the post-commit success unlink (lines 594-596), and the pre-commit failure
unlink (line 637). Deliver the message through `warn`, the existing `onWarning`
path, or a structured error. 2. Add a bounded retry or deferred cleanup for
partial and complete backups. Alternatively, return the backup path so the
caller can remove it. 3. Add regression tests that force `fs.unlink` to fail on
each cleanup path. Each test should assert that the backup path is reported. 4.
Keep the `DaclRestoreError` retention behavior and its path warning unchanged.
5. Consider the same reporting for the staged temp-file unlink (line 642). It
has the same silent-failure shape.

for the alias path. - Mock fs.lstat to report a symlink (_fileStats(true)). -
Mock fs.readlink to reject with an error whose code is EACCES. - Assert the
behavior the implementation should have. 2. Choose one behavior and make the
code match it in the same commit: - Preferred: propagate. In
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, change line 270 so only ENOENT (and
the other "not a link" codes, such as EINVAL) map to undefined. Rethrow other
errors. The new test then asserts that resolveLockKey rejects with EACCES. -
Alternative: keep the swallow. The test then asserts the chosen fallback key.
Document the reason in the code comment. 3. Keep the existing dangling-link and
two-link cycle tests unchanged.

Use the same lock key as safeWriteJson.
For a symlink alias, this line returns the referent key. withFileLock locks that key, but safeWriteJson still locks the alias path directly. A deletion through withFileLock(alias) can therefore occur after safeWriteJson(alias) reads the old JSON and before it renames its replacement. The writer can recreate the deleted alias using stale data. Align both lock users before relying on this canonical-key contract, and test them together. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Landed on this branch. Two commits, and the branch tip is the second one:
bf215bb4d878b01714be0551d507ba296c778eb4 - fix(file-lock): take the canonical lock key once, inside acquireFileLock cf7ab260f98c175b0e1ce416335196f92a85cc38 - test(file-lock): pin one lock key for withFileLock and safeWriteJson
Tip verified with git ls-remote origin refs/heads/fws/u4-read-scope-recording, which prints cf7ab260f98c175b0e1ce416335196f92a85cc38, rather than with another door read.
Your ask in your own words: "Use the same lock key as safeWriteJson." The detail asks to
"Align both lock users before relying on this canonical-key contract, and test them together."
The answer is the single canonicalize inside the shared acquire protocol. acquireFileLock now
computes its own key as await resolveLockKey(path.resolve(filePath)) (src/utils/fileLock.ts line
41), so every caller of the protocol - withFileLock for the deletion and safeWriteJson for the
write - locks the same canonical referent of a symlink alias, which is the line you flagged at
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts line 263 (canonicalDirKey(await resolvePublishTarget(...))). withFileLock still hands its operation the caller's resolved path (line 86 passes it to line 91),
so the task-history unlink keeps the caller's alias semantics: unlinking the referent instead of
the alias would delete a different directory entry. That is the deletion contract the comment
beside the choke point states, and the property it promises is what the run below pins. Neither withFileLock nor safeWriteJson was rewritten, so no trunk file moves.
The pairing test is src/utils/__tests__/lockKeyAlignment.spec.ts. In a real temp directory with
a real referent file and a symlink alias to it it pins, for the two doors: the key the deletion
holds and the key the write holds are both the canonical referent, they are the same key, and the
deletion key equals await resolveLockKey(alias); the second row pins one key for a plain path.
Run: 2 tests passed (vitest run --config vitest.misc.config.ts lockKeyAlignment).
Negative control, with only the canonicalize line taken away and nothing else changed: the same
run fails the row "locks the canonical referent for an alias, whichever door the caller comes
through" and the runner prints AssertionError: expected ... to be ... // Object.is equality with Expected: "...lockkey-alignment-XXXX\task.json" and Received: "...lockkey-alignment-XXXX\alias.json" at utils/__tests__/lockKeyAlignment.spec.ts:67:23,
and 1 test failed / 1 passed. So the test answers the ask instead of mirroring the fix.
The existing canonical-key spec fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts still passes; the four-file run
prints 3 files passed, 45 tests passed.
Two suites in this Windows worktree cannot load before any test of theirs runs: safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts and the TaskHistoryStore specs die with TypeError: z.partialRecord is not a function inside @roo-code/types. Control run in the same
worktree at this pull's pre-fix head f0d2c1bda84ab99edd5156a1092029cbc15a188d: same failure, same
43 tests passed. The install is the cause - the pnpm store carries only [email protected] while
packages/types/package.json asks for zod 4.6.7 - not this change.
Price at the pushed head with the gate of record (node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base <sha> --head <sha>, run here through the win32-patched copy of that committed script, blob 7dfe0006d2d5
instrument / 85ba293da0cc copy):
this branch before the fix f0d2c1bda84ab99edd5156a1092029cbc15a188d -> pushed head: extension (2 lines); ceiling 500, headroom 498.
mutant ceiling 400: preflight printed Instrumented 4 source file(s) with 347 mutant(s) on the
main footing and Instrumented 1 source file(s) with 0 mutant(s) on this branch's footing
(headroom 53 and 400 against 400).
What the mutant figure did not do: it did not move with this answer. The 347 is the footing's
instrumentation figure for the four changed files of the whole rung (it is printed identically
before this fix), not a measurement of this answer; on this branch's footing the same instrument
prints 0 mutants for the one changed file. No killed or survived count was bought, and none is
missing from this answer: the Stryker preflight dies in its own sandbox with MODULE_NOT_FOUND for
vitest/config on every footing - CI prints it as the advisory line ::warning title=Mutation test advisory::extension Stryker preflight failed: and the gate exits 0 -
and on this branch's footing the changed file generated 0 mutants, so there was nothing to kill.
The same divergence sits on the other live head carrying the identical blob: pull 2433 head 316abe2079eeedfdedaa5ee6aa0a2294ff0e7026 has src/utils/fileLock.ts blob 6ca70045661c1522642494c234ebb02e7068ec3b - byte-identical to the blob this pull carried before
the fix - and line 31 of acquireFileLock there is still the raw path.resolve(filePath). So
this fix has to be paid there too rather than declared finished here.
The direction question is not answered by this fix and I am not deciding it here: which
publishing primitive main keeps belongs to #2350, as the file's own comment says - "the write
entry point itself has no production caller while #2350 decides which primitive main keeps"
(src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts lines 281-284). I am not deciding it.
Nothing on this thread is resolved by me.
@easonLiangWorldedtech The shared lock fixes key alignment while the symlink exists. One race remains:
A writer holds the referent lock. A deletion resolves the same key and waits.
The writer renames its temporary file over the alias, replacing the symlink (src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, Line 149).
The deletion acquires the referent lock. A new writer now resolves the alias itself as its key (src/utils/fileLock.ts, Line 41).
The new writer can read the file before the deletion unlinks it, then recreate it from stale data.
The pairing test does not exercise this sequence. It mocks realpath and proper-lockfile; it does not create a symlink or run concurrent operations. I did not run the tests here.
Please keep the lock keys aligned across alias replacement and add a controlled regression test with a real symlink. I am not marking this finding as addressed.

Unit 1 of the split plan for pull 1913, carried on the branch 1913 already tracks. It holds the guarded
text writer and everything that reads through it: the new src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText with its
canonical key walk, the staging and durability errors, the ancestor and dangling-link refusals, the
ReadFileTool and indentation-reader recovery, the lock-key handover in fileLock, and the specs for each of
them. The JSON publish layer and its MCP call sites are not here; they travel in unit 2, which brings the
consumers of resolvePublishTarget and canonicalDirKey and adds the export keyword back with them. In this
unit the only non-test importer of this file is src/utils/fileLock.ts and it asks for resolveLockKey
alone, so those two names are declared without export here rather than exported for a consumer that has
not arrived yet, and no knip config entry is added to cover them.
Every caller of the shared advisory lock protocol gets its key computed here, so a symlink alias and its referent take one lock and safeWriteJson serializes with withFileLock instead of watching a second lock file. withFileLock still hands its operation the caller's resolved path so a task-history unlink keeps alias semantics. Answers review comment 4545130063 on pull 1913.
Pairing test for review comment 4545130063: both doors must lock the canonical referent of a symlink alias. Removing the canonicalization from acquireFileLock makes both rows fail, so the test is the ask and not a mirror of the fix.

- Regression Evidence:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts`, inside
`describe("resolveLockKey")` (around lines 1320-1364), add a test. Make
`fs.realpath` reject for the alias path with ENOENT. Make `fs.lstat` return a
symbolic-link stat. Make `fs.readlink` reject with an error whose `code` is
`EACCES`. 2. Choose one behavior and change the code to match it in the same
change: - Preferred: propagate. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`
line 270, map only ENOENT and not-a-link codes (for example EINVAL) to
`undefined`. Rethrow other errors. Assert that `resolveLockKey` rejects with the
EACCES error. - Alternative: keep the fallback. Assert the fallback key.
Document the reason in the comment at lines 265-267. 3. Leave the dangling-link
and two-link cycle tests (lines 1336-1363) unchanged.

This pull now carries unit U4a of the split plan recorded on the unit tracking issue, and unit U4a alone: #2019 (comment)
What is here. The guarded text writer and everything that reads through it: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts with its canonical key walk, staging and durability errors and ancestor and dangling-link refusals, its two new spec files, src/utils/fileLock.ts and its new canonical-key spec, ReadFileTool and its spec, the indentation reader and its two specs, and the one eslint-suppressions.json hunk. The json publish layer and the MCP call sites are no longer in this pull: they travel on branch fws/u4b-json-publish as unit U4b, stacked on this head, and its pull names this pull as its dependency.
Width. At head bb89f14 against main tip 53cb5b5, measured with a blob-exact copy of scripts/stryker-diff.mjs blob 7dfe0006d2d5c7e4d2282f65f68b8ed5f16866bc, whose caps are 500 counted executable lines at line 11 and 400 instrumented mutants at line 12: 319 counted executable lines, 119 selectors, 347 instrumented mutants from 4 instrumented files. The gate as shipped, node scripts/stryker-diff.mjs ci --base 53cb5b5 --head bb89f14, prints extension 319 lines and exit 0. Standalone width 11 files, 3791 insertions, 13 deletions; that is over the 400 soft add-and-delete figure and under the 1000 hard one, and the reason is that 8 of the 11 files are specs, which the gate charges nothing to either cap. The pull this unit was split from carried 484 counted lines, 185 selectors and 535 instrumented mutants at head acc49b9, and the half that left carries 167 lines, 68 selectors and 188 instrumented mutants against this head, so 347 plus 188 equals 535 instrumented mutants, which is the parent figure exactly. Every mutant figure here is an instrumented count on a host where every dry run aborts at the initial test run.
Two sentences carried verbatim, each on its own line:
a green local preflight over Valid 0, Killed 0, Survived 0 and No coverage 0 with blocking 0 and advisories 2 is not evidence in either direction on this machine
the mutation leg is unmeasured, a PASS over an empty digest is not evidence in either direction, and CI at the first pushed unit is the only proof of the gate
No figure above is called green and none of them is a CI figure.
The one edit this unit makes beyond what it ports. resolvePublishTarget at src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts line 195 and canonicalDirKey at line 220 are declared without the export keyword here. The only non-test importer of that file in this unit is src/utils/fileLock.ts and it imports resolveLockKey alone; the consumers of those two names live in unit U4b, which re-adds the keyword with them. The knip context was run rather than assumed: the repository's own command, knip 5.88.1 through knip --treat-config-hints-as-errors as declared in knip.json, exits 0 with 0 bytes of output at this unit's tree both with and without the keyword, and with one extra export nothing imports it exits 1 and prints Unused exports 1 naming it, so the rule is live on this file and the zero is a measured zero. knip.json sets ignoreExportsUsedInFile to true and both names are called inside their own declaring file at line 263 and line 294, which is why keeping them exported here cost nothing. The keyword is therefore not a knip requirement, and no knip config entry was added for it.
What this lane ran on this head, and what those runs do not prove. prettier 3 across the repository exits 0; tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit at the repository root exits 0 with no output and tsc --noEmit from the src directory exits 0 with 0 error lines; eslint 9.39.5 with --prune-suppressions and --max-warnings=0 run from the src directory on the file it touched exits 0 and the suppressions file was restored to the blob this pull already carries; the two specs that import safeWriteText.ts ran through vitest 4.1.12 as 2 files and 67 tests, all passing, exit 0; husky ran lint-staged on the commit and ran the type checks on the push. No changeset file was added and no changelog was edited, and the one suppression figure in this pull goes down rather than up: core/tools/tests/readFileTool.spec.ts at no-explicit-any from 96 to 94. None of that is CI evidence, none of it is coverage evidence, and the mutation figures above are counts of instrumented mutants, not verdicts about them.
Review threads after the rewrite, measured rather than asserted. The pull keeps its threads; none of them moved to the new pull. Of the 100 newest review comments on this pull, read after this push and covering created 2026-11-09T07:13:28Z through 2026-11-12T00:47:17Z, 72 sit on paths that travelled to U4b - src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts 60, src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts 7, src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts 5 - and all 72 now carry a null line with an original line, which is GitHub's own outdated marking: force-pushing a rewritten branch re-anchors and renumbers. The other 28 of those 100 sit on paths this pull keeps and still carry a line number: safeWriteText.ts 22, fileLock.ts 4, readFileTool.spec.ts 2. The thread 4544793528 and the answer posted into it at 4544885792 are among those 72: both read line null with original line 119 on src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts, and the row and the guard that thread is about travel in U4b, whose body names both ids. These counts rest on the 100 newest of the three pages of this pull's review-comment listing; the oldest 100 were read in the same round and were not classified line by line, and the middle 100 were not read, so no figure here is a whole-thread census.
Owed and open on this unit. The ask that the non-ENOENT failure inside resolveLockKey at src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts lines 264 to 275 is swallowed rather than propagated is still owed to this pull and stays open: it is not answered here, and nothing in this body claims it is.
This unit closes the tracking issue its own body names when this pull merges, and the follow-on unit of the same plan merges after it on pull 2433, so the only thing on this pull that this body resolves is that tracker, no re-review is requested by it, and the previous title and body of this pull were not read by the lane that replaced them, so no figure for them is quoted here.
Closes #2019, the unit tracker for U4a, a keyword line this campaign added on 2026-11-12 rather than reproduced, because no artifact on this machine holds the body this pull carried before the campaign rewrote it, so there were no bytes to restore and this line is new. It is the only keyword-reference pair in this body, and the campaign's earlier account of this unit, which sits one paragraph above this one and was written by the campaign on 2026-11-12, is left standing and is not quoted here, because the sentence this paragraph used to quote was removed from the body on 2026-11-12 and a paragraph that quotes a sentence the document no longer contains is how the contradiction began. Unit U4b of the same plan travels onward on pull 2433, which is to merge after this one and carries a plain citation of this tracker by number with no keyword line of its own, and that order is the plan the campaign recorded, not an observation of a merge. Whether the platform now shows a closing link from this pull to #2019 has not been read by this lane at any hour tonight, so this line claims the keyword and its shape and says nothing about a sidebar.
