feat(tools): route the remaining write tools through the guard (U7, #1375) - #1918
This PR routes the remaining write tools - apply_diff, write_to_file, edit, edit_file, search_replace - through the same guard, so after this unit no tool path can clobber a file the model never read: an unearned write fails with the re-read remediation instead of overwriting. A write outside every workspace root is no longer an outright rejection: the tool layer classifies against all workspace folders, asks the user, and forwards the approval to the guard, which re-checks containment against the approved roots before publishing.
It is the seventh of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).
Related GitHub Issue
Tracking: issue 2022 (this unit's tracking issue; deliberately not a closing reference - the maintainer closes it when the series lands).
Refs: #1991 (chain tracking), #1375 (epic).
Description
What this PR changes:
apply_diff, write_to_file, edit, edit_file and search_replace all save through DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly() / guardedWrite() with an explicit write kind, so a targeted edit is never treated as a full-file replacement.
The tools' own reads (the diff hunk read, the patch hunk read) bracket the read with a bigint fs.stat pair and observe the file only when both tokens match, so the publish is authorized by the exact bytes the tool computed its hunks from; a stat failure leaves the file unobserved and never fails the read.
Approved outside-workspace writes are bound to the canonical identity captured BEFORE the approval was asked (approvedCanonicalTarget); the guard only compares and refuses when the capture is missing.
Review-round fixes on this unit: an unresolvable workspace root no longer falls back to the lexical-only containment decision, a path that runs through a dangling symlink ancestor is refused instead of re-joined lexically, and the stat-failure branches are covered by tool-level tests.
Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on main and carries its own copy of the earlier units' content, which the GitHub diff shows as context. This unit's own delta is 539 a+d / 54 changed executable lines.
Review focus: the tool classes named above, src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts (approval binding), and the specs named in the Test Procedure.
Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
Expected: 138 passed, 5 skipped. Then pnpm --dir src test -- integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts - 166 passed, 4 skipped.
Environment: Windows 11, Node 20, unit layer only.
Pre-Submission Checklist
Scope is one gate scope and matches the unit.
No .changeset or CHANGELOG changes (AGENTS.md).
src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged - no suppression count increased.
New code lints clean (--max-warnings=0) rather than relying on suppressions.
Tests added at the lowest layer that would have caught each finding.
Visual Snapshot item considered: not applicable (no rendered surface).
Visual Snapshots
Not applicable - no rendered surface; the approval prompt is the existing one.
Videos (interaction / animation only)
Not applicable.
Documentation Updates
No user-facing documentation change: the guard is internal behaviour of the write tools, and the model-facing remediation text already existed in earlier units. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).
Additional Notes
Budget: own delta 539 a+d / 54 changed executable lines - inside both caps. The mutation gate reports the GitHub diff's changed-line count (1468 against the 500 cap at head 7f90fc299, 1402 at the previous head) because the unlanded predecessors inflate it; the row clears on rebase after the predecessors merge.
Negative controls for the approval binding: comparison dropped -> 2 failed; baseline from the post-approval lookup -> 1 failed; missing capture accepted -> 1 failed.
Unit specs: applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts 27 passed (27); DiffViewProvider.spec.ts 158 passed (158); safeWriteText.spec.ts 68 passed (68) - also 68 passed (68) in a worker whose process.platform reports linux; safeWriteJson.test.ts 27 passed / 4 skipped; safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts 7 passed (7).
Whole src lane measured at 52628eb86: 12859 passed | 45 failed | 41 skipped (the follow-up commit adds one passing case to that total). The same two files fail on the pre-change baseline run of this same worktree - __tests__/dist_assets.spec.ts (40, needs the bundle the local lane skips) and services/rules/__tests__/rules.spec.ts (5, symlink cases on Windows) - so nothing that passed before fails now. Honesty note: local vitest lanes skip the pretest bundling step, so bundle-dependent specs are CI-only.
ESLint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 clean on all seven files; src/eslint-suppressions.json left byte-identical to the merge commit, because the prune only reformatted it and it was restored from the index. Against the merge base the total is 3301 -> 3299: one reduction (core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts), and none of the files touched this round carries an entry.
pnpm check-types (root tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit plus 11 turbo tasks) exit 0 on a cold cache: 11 cache miss, 0 cached. The pre-push hook re-ran it before this head was pushed.
Junction pre-flight for split-1833/u7: 262 reparse points under the node_modules roots - 225 pnpm-store links into this worktree, 37 workspace links, 0 links pointing into the main checkout; packages/types/dist and the turbo bin present.
CI at 7f90fc299, read from the job log (run 41970071166, job 127056022960): the gate derives BASE_SHA as HEAD_SHA^1 of the PR merge commit and fails with Mutation gate failed: extension has 1468 changed executable lines (limit 500) - the same chain budget-cap failure as at the previous head, which reported 1402, so chain paperwork rather than a new defect. The gate's own logic subtests passed in that run and Stryker never started, so there is no reports/mutation/ artifact and no directive was added. compile, e2e-mock, extension-host-visual, webview-visual and both platform-unit-test lanes were still running when this line was written; CodeRabbit's own check is neutral (advisory).
Updated this round
Registered the two open walkthrough rows at this head (no code change this round; the carried copies are unchanged):
Lifecycle row (duplicate teardown after cancellation): carried-copy drift, not a U7 defect. The carried DiffViewProvider/guardedWrite copies predate U8's (feat(editor): route the diff-view save through the guard (U8, #1375) #1916) cancellation ordering and landed-token reconciliation; the rows resolve at merge time because U5 and U8 merge before U7 in the declared order and the diff shrinks to U7's own wiring.
Next refresh round: a content-union pass over the carried copies (this unit's approval flow + U8's cancellation ordering and landed reconciliation + U5's pinning) is scheduled after the current re-review wave, so the guard is not shipped half-merged under review pressure.
Get in Touch
Reviewer and maintainer questions are welcome as comments on this PR or on #1991.
Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
writeKind default StringLiteral ("update" -> ""): an empty kind
dispatches exactly like "update" inside guardedWrite - only "edit"
and "create" branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line is
not part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
saveTask operand of the adoption-probe guard (LogicalOperator): GuardRejectedError is only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reached
only after the !saveTask check above has already thrown. Whenever
the operand is evaluated saveTask is provably non-null, so dropping
the operand cannot change which branch is taken.
mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.
Preview-observation withdrawal on every exit path (Major): open()
records the token its preview wrote; reset() (reached by every tool catch
and by revertChanges via finalizeSession) forgets the entry while it
still holds that token and the preview's incomplete flag - publishes and
model reads survive. Trigger-sequence test + two survival tests; three
negative controls, each exactly one red.
Exact guard verdict in the lock-cleanup test (^Stale version -- the file changed) + deduplicated repeated assertion.
The sibling unit's follow-up thread found the content-based withdrawal
could delete a model partial read recorded while the diff was open
(same token, same incomplete flag). The copy this unit owns carried the
identical flaw and is fixed identically: open() keeps the exact entry
object its observe() wrote; reset() forgets only while the registry
still stores that object. Regression test ported; NCs each exactly one
red. 153/153 green.
Open document reconciled after the guarded publish (f5fddf6)
The Persistence Integrity row: saveDirectly() commits through guardedWrite(), which writes the bytes to disk directly, and the diff
removed the awaited document.save() that used to follow the publish -
leaving an already-open target document holding its pre-publish buffer.
A dirty buffer there is a live hazard: VS Code's ordinary save path
would republish those stale bytes over what the guard committed. saveDirectly now reconciles the open document before returning -
reverting reloads the published bytes and clears the dirty flag - so no
open buffer is left whose text differs from the publish; reverting a
document that already matches the disk is a no-op, and the memory-only
path still never saves the buffer over the publish. Regression test: an
already-open dirty target document is reverted (not saved) by the time saveDirectly resolves; negative control: removing the reconcile
reddens exactly that test. 154/154 green (240/240 across the guarded
write and tool suites) at this head.
The 04:29Z Persistence Integrity row implemented in full: saveDirectly() requires successful reconciliation after the guarded publish. If revertDocument() returns false or throws, the tab is closed and the document reopened from disk; if the reopened buffer is still dirty the write fails instead of reporting success, and the diagnostics/open path does not run while the target is dirty. Test: revert command rejects and buffer stays dirty -> saveDirectly() rejects, tab closed and reopened from disk (a later save reads the published bytes), stale buffer's own save never runs. Two negative controls (bare revert; tolerate dirty reopen) each redden exactly that test. 155/155 green.
The Security Boundaries TOCTOU row remains the registered check-then-resolve family (lands once at the publish-primitive owner; precedent record 6106959976, issue #1408).
platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) was red at 40ac71f on exactly one case: core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts > 'finalizePartialToolAsk still updates the webview when a later save stage fails' (expected "updateClineMessage" to be called with arguments, Number of calls: 0). Measured with a probe on every realpath call in that window that printed the path it received and its outcome, plus fs.statSync of the same path at the same instant through the never-mocked fs: not one realpath returned ENOENT for the directory - the guard's first walk and both lock-key canonicalizations resolved it, four times, to inode 22517998136858990, and the only ENOENTs were on ui_messages.json itself, the target file that genuinely is not there. The guard's own await fs.stat(approvedCanonical) reported ENOENT for a directory the unmocked fs reported as that same inode, because Task.spec.ts:144 mocks fs/promises with stat: vi.fn().mockRejectedValue({ code: "ENOENT" }) for every path, and it rejected before the second walk, so the drift comparison never happened. The guard was failing on a question it invented, and the only reason our own lane never caught it is that the suite driving this write path mocks stat to fail for every path.
The guard now acts on a single signal: the re-resolution of the approved directory succeeds and lands on a different directory. A probe that cannot answer is not an answer - ENOENT because a component is mid-replacement or because the caller's fs reports the path as missing, EACCES, EPERM, ELOOP - so the write proceeds; the existence probe is gone, and a directory that really is deleted now fails at the staging write itself, still fail-closed with nothing created outside the directory the write was approved for. Confinement keeps the opposite rule on purpose: there the guard has to prove containment, and a probe that cannot answer cannot prove anything. Controls: reverting the fix reddens exactly the two new cannot-answer cases - one of them a unit-scale twin of the CI failure that also asserts the fixed path makes zero fs.stat calls - and reddens the CI case in Task.spec.ts and only it (1 failed | 198 passed); restoring it is green (5 files, 306 passed | 4 skipped) and byte-identical by SHA256. Cross-checked against a scratch merge of this branch's head with upstream/main 6bbc7a0: the CI case is red there without this commit and green with it.
Known property, deliberately not fixed in this PR: if the approved directory is replaced before the guard's first reading, both readings agree and no layer rejects the write - measured byte-for-byte identical before and after this change (the payload publishes at wherever the approved pathname now points, with no staged file left in either spelling and only the advisory lock directory travelling with the renamed directory). The consequence is that the file can be published into a directory the writer's advisory lock does not name. Closing that means safeWriteText binding the publish destination to the directory its own advisory lock names, which is a design change in the publish path that #1916's guardedWrite layer builds on, so it is registered as a follow-up unit rather than folded into a green-lane fix. It is recorded by safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts > 'follows the approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads it', which asserts readings === 3 so a change in the canonicalization order fails loudly.
Head 52628eb86. The merge base is now main at e943530c8 (merged in 002b34fa4), so the GitHub diff at this head is 33 files / 12474 insertions / 349 deletions against that base. This unit's own delta is 539 a+d / 54 changed executable lines; the mutation gate charges the whole branch delta against main (it derives BASE_SHA as HEAD_SHA^1 of the PR merge commit), so the chain copies this branch carries sit inside its number, and refreshing onto main did not shrink it.
Five live threads, each fixed and answered in-thread with its control numbers:
src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts:116 (Major, rt4475729779): execute records the exact registry entry behind every observation it creates and forgets it only while the registry still holds that entry; every publish site drops its recorded entry first, so a published file is never withdrawn. Reverted to blob a36944e59b6b: 4 failed | 22 passed; at this head 26 passed (26).
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:765 (Minor, rt4475729791): 765, 962 and 989 now close only this provider diff view via closeOwnDiffView(absolutePath). closeAllDiffViews() stays as the path-unknown fallback inside reset() (1703) and a test pins the fallback itself. Reverted to blob 8afc716b0946: 8 failed | 150 passed; at this head 158 passed (158).
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:358 (Minor, rt4475668838): dirPath is created with the plain recursive fs.mkdir before _stagingDir(dirPath), so the private 0o700 applies to the staging directory alone and the two writers agree (safeWriteJson.ts:219 already did this). Reverted to blob cb24e0e3172c: 1 failed | 67 passed on the creation-order assertion; at this head 68 passed (68). Windows cannot expose the mode difference itself (measured 666 / 666 in both orders), so the test asserts creation order plus the mode option each call carries.
src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts:646 (Minor, rt4475729798): vi.doUnmock replaces the hoisted vi.unmock, the comment says what actually undoes the capture, and a new case asserts a later import resolves the real proper-lockfile. Rewritten back to vi.unmock: 1 failed | 26 passed | 4 skipped; at this head 27 passed | 4 skipped.
src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:692 (Trivial, rt4475668810): the platform skip is gone, and a second case of the same class in the same file lost its skip too; the file runs 68/68 on Windows and 68/68 in a worker reporting linux.
Chain overlap, recorded in-thread: the sites this unit shares with #1916 are the ApplyPatchTool.readFile partial observation and its publish sites, plus the DiffViewProvider teardown; the follow-up that binds a publish destination to the locked directory stays on #1916.
Gates for this round: husky hooks on for both commit and push (lint-staged eslint + prettier, pre-push check-types), never --no-verify; push used --force-with-lease pinned to the freshly read fork head 64dc74cab, read back as 52628eb86. No .changeset, no CHANGELOG edit, no suppression increase, no Stryker directive.
Follow-up inside round r112 (7f90fc299)
CodeRabbit verification reply on rt4475729779 found one non-publishing exit the first cut left open: a move publishes the destination, then a failed fs.unlink of the source is logged and tolerated, so the source stays on disk with its original bytes while its tracking entry had already been dropped - the tool-owned partial observation survived as authority for a later edit. The source entry now leaves the tracking map only when that unlink succeeded (sourceRemoved gates it); the destination entry still leaves unconditionally, because the destination really did publish.
Control: the new case move: withdraws the source observation when its unlink fails after the destination published fails at 52628eb86 (1 failed | 26 passed (27), expected true to be false on the leftover registry entry, and a follow-up guardedWrite(..., "update") to the source rode on it instead of refusing) and passes at 7f90fc299 (27 passed (27)). Reverting only the implementation to blob b78a7ad6ad55 reddens exactly that case. Fixed blobs at this head: implementation 74a22bf7644f, spec ff52ead16c31. GitHub exposes no reopen mutation, so the answer was posted as a reply inside the already-resolved thread.
Charged diff at this head against the merge base e943530c8: 33 files, 12510 insertions / 350 deletions. Suppressions remain byte-identical to the merge commit (--prune-suppressions only reformats it, and it is restored from the index each round).
Closes: #2426 (this unit's tracking issue, U7 of the #1375 split, filed 2026-11-11; the note carries this unit's head, its measured price with the base named and the gate state, and the plan post-dates this pull.)

New Features
File edits and writes now verify that targets are authorized and unchanged before publishing. Editing an existing file requires a prior read; replacing its full contents requires a complete read.
Read results distinguish complete views from partial or clipped content and indicate when displayed lines were clipped.
File writes use staged publishing and preserve existing file permissions. JSON writes can also be restricted to a specified directory scope.
Bug Fixes
Saves handle path aliases and concurrent edits more reliably, with clearer reporting when changes reach disk but unsaved editor content cannot be reconciled.
Reads still return content when file-stat checks fail or files change during reading, without recording an unreliable observation.
File recovery and locking handle aliases and missing parent folders more consistently.
This change adds versioned read observations and guarded file publishing. It routes file tools and editor saves through write guards, adds atomic text publishing and confined JSON writes, and expands coverage for path identity, locking, observation handling, and durability.

Reads record observations when pre-read and post-read versions match. Completeness reflects coverage, truncation, clipping, and lossless decoding. Indentation results distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines.
Validate and serialize writes src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts
Guarded writes check observations, completeness, workspace containment, and approval-bound canonical targets. They serialize writes per path and refresh observations after publishing when a version token is available.
File tools pass explicit write kinds and approval details. Patch processing records and cleans up observations, checks move identity, and transfers source completeness to destinations.
Reconcile editor saves and previews src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, src/integrations/editor/committedWriteBufferConflictError.ts
Diff previews record verified observations. Saves use guarded publishing and reconcile editor buffers. Cleanup is serialized and closes matching provider-owned diff views.

The writer stages and fsyncs content, preserves target modes, and commits by rename. It handles backups, Windows DACL operations, post-commit durability errors, and cleanup.
File locks prepare missing parent directories and clean up directories created by failed acquisition. JSON deletion resolves the lock key before locking. Tests cover canonical path spellings and symlink aliases.
Resolve and confine JSON writes src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*
JSON writes check declared confinement, lock resolved targets, and recheck target and staging-directory identity. Staging applies existing target modes before publishing to the resolved target.

The changeset matches this, with guardedWrite.ts, DiffViewProvider saves, and tool-level changes. The title's '(U7, #1375)' is series-tracking noise but does not make it misleading.

Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Related GitHub Issue, Description, Test Procedure, Pre-Submission Checklist, Visual Snapshots, Videos, Documentation Updates, Additional Notes, and Get in Touch. It explains the guard routing, the approval binding, and test commands with results. It contains many chain-tracking and review-round notes that dilute the template. Its issue reference is not a closing reference, which conflicts with the template's rule that every PR must link to an approved issue. The Get in Touch section lacks a Discord username. Some checklist items are ticked without evidence.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#2426] The linked issue is a U7 tracking note for PR #1918. Its one coding objective is that the remaining write tools publish through the guard. The change summary shows this objective is implemented. ApplyDiffTool, WriteToFileTool, EditTool, EditFileTool, and SearchReplaceTool each pass an explicit GuardedWriteKind through DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly or saveChanges. Those methods call guardedWrite in src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts. ApplyPatchTool records tool-read observations only when bigint stat tokens match, and it withdraws observations it created. Approved outside-workspace writes carry approvedCanonicalTarget, which is captured before approval. The size price, mutation gate state, merge order, and CI results in the issue and PR description are non-coding and do not create requirements. Limit: no tests were run in this assessment. The test counts stated in the PR were not reproduced, so the verdict rests on the change summary and the named code paths.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
Summary: I found no changed persistence path that meets the explicit failure conditions of the "Persistence integrity" check. Every changed write call I checked is awaited. The publish primitive is atomic and has explicit partial-failure handling. One narrow gap is recorded below, but I did not treat it as a failure. Evidence checked (PR head refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head): - Not awaited: I searched the changed non-test source for guardedWrite, saveDirectly, saveChanges, safeWriteText, safeWriteJson, fs.unlink, fs.rename, fs.rmdir, revertDocument, and closeOwnDiffView. Each call is awaited. The only non-awaited promise is in guardedWrite.tsenqueue, which is an intentional chain tail with settle handlers attached. - Non-atomic write:safeWriteText.ts stages to a per-write directory, applies the target mode with fchmodSync, runs fsyncSync, and commits with fs.rename. Backup mode copies to a private file, fsyncs it, and keeps it after a post-commit durability failure. The pre-commit path removes the backup. safeWriteJson.ts keeps its existing rename, EPERM-fallback, and rollback sequence. - Partial failure is explicit:PostCommitDurabilityError carries committedVersion and backupPath. guardedWrite.ts refreshes the observation from that version before rethrowing. CommittedWriteBufferConflictError is thrown when a committed publish cannot clear the buffer. ApplyPatchTool move code names both paths in its partial-state error and keeps the source observation when the source unlink fails. - Persisted default not propagated: The changed source files contain no new persisted settings or defaults. The default-related changes are in test files only. - Pre-existing, not changed by this PR: The flag-off move path still uses a raw fs.writeFile and a tolerated source unlink. Both are unchanged from the base revision (ApplyPatchTool.ts base lines 422 and 427). Residual gap (not a failure): In DiffViewProvider.saveChanges, this.committedPublish is set only after guardedWrite succeeds (line 667). A PostCommitDurabilityError from guardedWrite takes the discard branch and is not recorded as committed. A later revertChanges could then restore originalContent through document.save(). This needs a POSIX parent-directory fsync failure and a cancellation in a narrow window before reset(). I judged that too speculative to meet the check's "plausible triggering scenario" bar. The reviewer may still want to set committedPublish on that branch.

Explanation
Five webview-ui spec files in the change set do not relate to the guarded-write objective of #2426 or to the U7 description. They are webview-ui/src/utils/tests/format.auto-default.spec.ts (number, date, and hour-cycle formatting), webview-ui/src/utils/tests/validate.provider-validation.spec.ts (provider validation keys), webview-ui/src/components/chat/tests/CodebaseSearchResult.tooltip.spec.tsx (tooltip score formatting), webview-ui/src/components/chat/tests/QueuedMessages.title.spec.tsx (queue title), and webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/tests/BedrockCustomArn.arn-validation.spec.tsx (Bedrock ARN validation). None of these files touches file-write safety. The PR description does not mention them. The previous assessment reached the same finding. The change summary still lists them at the reviewed head, so the finding remains open. The remaining files connect to the guarded-write objective.
Resolution
Remove the five unrelated webview-ui spec files from this PR. If their changes are required by a guarded-write change, state in the PR description which change requires each file and why. If the files come from a stale merge base, rebase onto the current base so the diff contains only the U7 delta and its chain predecessors. Also reconcile the merge base named in the PR description (main at e943530) with the merge base recorded in the review metadata (d76dffa).
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The standing FAIL is still supported by the current head. The changed publish path has a time-of-check/time-of-use gap in the containment control. Evidence, checked at the current head: - src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (new file in this PR). safeWriteText calls resolvePublishTarget (line 502) and derives dirPath from the result (line 503). The publish runs fs.rename(tempPath, targetPath) on path strings (line 878). The directory fsync reopens dirPath by name (line 885). - The only identity checks are bigint lstat calls on the staging file and the target (lines 555–588). The last look (lines 864–877) re-stats only the staging file, and the comment at lines 862–863 says the window "is narrowed, not closed." - A search for FileHandle, O_DIRECTORY, O_NOFOLLOW, and opendir finds no directory-handle or parent-identity pinning. - src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts. verifyTarget (lines 566–589) resolves once and runs assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace. For approved outside-workspace writes it compares against approvedCanonicalTarget. The bound target then goes to safeWriteText (lines 197–207 and 261–294). A parent directory swapped between that check and the rename can move the publish outside the approved root. - src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts lines 260–273 assert that a replaced approved directory is followed to its new pathname. The PR description calls this "deliberately not fixed in this PR." Scope and limits: the scenario needs a concurrent local writer that can swap a workspace directory during a short window. The non-racing containment and approval-identity checks work as written. Linked issue #2426 has no security criteria, so this verdict rests on the changed code. Because the claims are accurate and the code is unchanged, the prior FAIL cannot be disposed of as addressed or refuted. It stands.
Resolution
In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, pin the parent-directory identity for the publish. Take a bigint fs.stat of the authorized directory at the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before fs.rename (around line 878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows it, open a directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that handle. 2. Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path. The approved canonical directory must be the directory that receives the rename. 3. Add an integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an outside directory after verifyTarget and before the rename. The test must assert that the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized directory changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts (test "follows the approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads it", around lines 260–273). That assertion records that a replaced approved directory is followed to its new target.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The prior FAIL still holds. The changed behavior is the pre-approval canonical capture and its forwarding to the save path. The tool-layer tests for that behavior remain incomplete. Source evidence: - Capture sites are present. EditFileTool.ts:408 (before askApproval at ~432), EditTool.ts:183, SearchReplaceTool.ts:179, WriteToFileTool.ts:105 (before askApproval at 137), and ApplyPatchTool.ts:303 (add) and :490 (update). Gaps in the tool-layer specs: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool. The outside-workspace tests (editFileTool.spec.ts:741-757, editTool.spec.ts:466-482, searchReplaceTool.spec.ts:481-497) assert only args[6] and args[7]. None asserts args[8]. The realpath double is String(p) and is never repointed between capture and approval. A dropped or misplaced canonical target would pass. 2. WriteToFileTool. Tests at writeToFileTool.spec.ts:528-554 and 556-578 do assert args[8] and args[4]. However, realpath returns one constant canonicalTarget on every call, and no askApproval callback changes the resolved target. Moving the capture after askApproval would still pass both tests. The "repointed during approval" case is missing. 3. ApplyPatchTool add and update. applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts has no outside-workspace add or update test. The only outside-workspace tests (~1098, ~1462) cover move destinations, which are refused before any capture runs. The add and update save tests (~352, ~679) do not exercise the outside-workspace branch. The guard-level tests in guardedWrite.spec.ts (~518, ~539-576, ~583) cover identity binding inside guardedWrite. They do not cover the tool-layer capture order or the argument forwarding at each call site. Under the check, this is a changed behavior without focused tool-layer coverage. The check is "Regression evidence" and the failure condition applies.
Resolution
Add tool-layer tests that repoint the target during the approval callback, then assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches each save path: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: in an outside-workspace edit, make realpath return one value before askApproval and a different value after it. Assert saveDirectly receives the pre-approval value at args[8] and not the repointed value. 2. WriteToFileTool: make realpath return different values before and after approval. Assert the captured value reaches both saveDirectly (args[8]) and saveChanges (args[4]). The current constant-realpath tests do not prove capture order. 3. ApplyPatchTool: add outside-workspace add and update tests that repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity reaches the publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and missing-capture tests in guardedWrite.spec.ts.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The changed discard path in DiffViewProvider.saveChanges() repeats teardown after a cancellation pass finished. The prior FAIL holds at head refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head. Evidence: - The discard block is new in this PR. It is absent at the base and present at head. It sits in the catch of saveChanges() (src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, lines 692-773). - The catch path does not check sessionFinalizationClaimed, teardownPasses, or any session token. The guard at line 793 covers only the success path. No session token or generation exists in the file. - The discard branch calls disposeActiveEditorListener() and cancelDeferredScroll() (708-709). It then calls runTeardown (711). runTeardown runs the body whenever teardownInFlight is unset (1291-1303). A save does not register a teardown before its publish, so the body runs. - Task.ts:3815-3823 calls diffViewProvider.revertChanges() on abort when isStreaming && isEditing. That pass ends with finalizeSession(() => this.reset()) (1143-1155). reset() sets sessionFinalizationClaimed = true (1857) and clears placeholderVersion, createdDirs, and snapshotPreviewTabs. - guardedWrite.ts:594-597 states that a queued write can reach its turn after an abort. It then throws GuardRejectedError when task.abort is set (596-597). That error reaches the catch at line 668. Trigger: the user cancels while saveChanges() waits on a queued guardedWrite for the same path. The cancellation pass runs revertChanges() and resets the session. The queued write then rejects. The discard pass runs again. It calls revertDocument when the buffer is dirty, closeOwnDiffView, and restorePreviewTabs, and it disposes listeners and cancels timers a second time. Impact: most repeated steps are idempotent. reset() clears the preview snapshot, so the repeated restore is a no-op. The duplicate teardown still runs after cancellation, which this check covers. A session restart before the queued rejection lands could also let the stale catch act on the new session's document. I did not verify that path. Coverage: DiffViewProvider.spec.ts has no test for the order where cancellation completes first and the publish then rejects with GuardRejectedError.
Resolution
In saveChanges() (src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, catch block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued the write. Capture a session token or generation before guardedWrite. Advance it in reset() and finalizeSession. Before disposeActiveEditorListener, cancelDeferredScroll, the discard runTeardown pass, closeOwnDiffView, and restorePreviewTabs, check that the token is unchanged and sessionFinalizationClaimed is false. Then rethrow the original GuardRejectedError. Alternatively, route the discard cleanup through finalizeSession or a claim so a finished cancellation pass cannot repeat. 2. Check the tool error handlers that call reset() (for example src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts, catch blocks near lines 38-46 and 211-219). Make them skip or bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear a newer session. 3. Add a regression test in src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts. Hold a saveChanges() publish that is still awaiting. Set task.abort and run revertChanges() to completion. Then make the publish reject with GuardRejectedError. Assert that no second closeOwnDiffView, restorePreviewTabs, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass. Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

…ume capability
The row was the sole failure on the ubuntu coverage lane at 7ae59a8:
utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts reported statCalls 0 with "the guard never put
its identity question to the filesystem on this platform". That is not the fixture failing and
not the guard failing. On a case-sensitive volume the artefact the acquisition builds and the
artefact the guard computes from the key are one name, so there is no divergence for the guard
to ask about, so it never stats the artefact, so the injected .lock EACCES is never reached.
The row's premise - that the guard has an identity question to put - is a property of the
volume, and the row was asking it of a volume that does not have it.
The gate is therefore a measured capability rather than a platform label: CASE_FOLDING_VOLUME
writes one file into a real temp directory, asks whether a differently-cased name opens, and
requires the directory to list exactly one spelling of it. It is loud on purpose. A failure
that is not "not there" throws and stops the file from collecting, because a probe that
defaulted on an unexpected error would report the capability as absent and turn the gated row
into a skip that reads like a pass, which is the one failure mode a gate has. A second control
row, ungated, re-measures the same property at run time through the promise surface and compares
it against the collection-time answer, so a wrong probe answer shows up as a failure rather
than as an absence.
What the gate does not claim: on a case-sensitive volume there is no artefact divergence to ask
about, so no EACCES-propagation coverage is being skipped there - there is no such stat to
fail. The false-positive direction (a probe reporting folding where the volume does not fold) is
caught by the gated row's own statCalls assertion rather than by the control row, and that
direction could not be demonstrated on this host because this host folds.
Gate declaration: this commit adds exactly one it.runIf, on the row that was red; no other row
gained a gate. Expectation for the lanes, not a measured CI result yet: the ubuntu coverage lane
skips this row and runs the control row, the windows test lane runs the gated row as it does
locally. Locally: 11 passed, gated row included.
Control, measured: forcing the probe to report false while this volume folds reddens exactly one
row - the control row, "the run-time measurement and the collection-time probe disagree about
this volume: expected true to be false" - and leaves 9 passed and 1 skipped, which is the gated
row going quiet; the gated row's own assertions stay green because they never ran. Restored, 11
passed.
Diff shape: the gate adds a nesting level around the row, so prettier re-indented its body. The
assertions and the fixture inside that row are unchanged apart from indentation; the only added
code is the probe, the control row, and the gate.

… not establish
resolveLockKey had three ways to end without an answer and still return a key, and all three
are the same defect: a lock key derived from the caller's own spelling after the filesystem
refused to say what that path refers to - the divergence class this lane has been closing.
The fallback was entered for any failure (safeWriteText.ts:331), any readlink failure ended the
walk (its .catch(() => undefined) at :337), and the depth bound returned the prefix the walk
stopped at (:336, :341).
The shape now: the fallback is the fallback for the ancestors-missing case, so ENOENT-shaped
failures take it and everything else propagates; a readlink answer that is not ENOENT-or-EINVAL
propagates rather than ending the walk - "not there" and "not a link" are answers, a refusal is
not - and reaching the bound rejects instead of returning. The bound is a named constant,
LOCK_KEY_WALK_BOUND, and the refusal is its own error, LockKeyWalkIncompleteError, carrying the
path, the bound and the last spelling the walk reached, in the same vocabulary as
StagingPathError and PostCommitDurabilityError: the operation was not refused by a guard, it
never got as far as one.
resolvePublishTarget and canonicalDirKey are unchanged, and safeWriteText does not call its own
resolveLockKey, so this lands on the callers:
guardedWrite.ts:192 and :257 (the two publish helpers),
safeWriteJson.ts:326 (key before the lock) and :379 (key re-resolved under the lock),
jsonFileRecovery.ts:95 (deleteJsonFile, aligned to this key in 0a76a7a),
DiffViewProvider.ts:722 (new-file placeholder cleanup).
recoverMissingJsonFile takes its lock on the path itself and is untouched. That is the full
census: seven call sites in four files, no others.
Said plainly, because it is the consequence that matters more here than in any earlier row:
fail-closed means some operations that used to succeed by accident now fail loudly. A transient
EACCES or EIO on a live link, or a link chain that stops at the bound, used to produce a silent
alias-keyed write and a silent alias-keyed delete - the operation went ahead on a key nobody had
established, which is the case where two writers each take a different lock for one file. Now
each of those is a refused write or a refused delete, and nothing is staged, unlinked or renamed
on the way out.
Callers checked for a rejection that would be fatal to an otherwise-healthy operation: the six
in guardedWrite, safeWriteJson and jsonFileRecovery reject the operation the caller asked for,
which is the outcome. The one that could have been fatal is DiffViewProvider.ts:722, inside the
new-file teardown, and it is already wrapped by the best-effort catch at :770-:772: a refusal
there costs the placeholder cleanup - the placeholder stays, which is what a lock that cannot be
taken already meant at :721 - and not the save. Nothing to absorb, nothing to escalate.
One thing this commit corrects in my own earlier claim: jsonFileRecovery.ts:85-87 has said since
0a76a7a that computing that key is fail-closed. Until this commit it was not, for an EACCES or
EIO realpath or a refused readlink mid-walk; the claim was ahead of the code.
Tests. Three controls, each routed through a caller rather than the function, all in
jsonFileRecovery.test.ts against the delete path: a realpath that answers EACCES, a refused
readlink while the referent is missing, and a chain that reaches the bound. Each asserts the
error the caller receives is the same error the filesystem threw (or the named bound error), that
the walk ran the number of times the row names, that fs.unlink was never called, and that the
file and its backup are still there. The link geometry in the latter two comes from spies
because this lane cannot create a file symlink for real - fs.symlink answers EPERM here, as the
alias rows in the same file say; the errors and the delete path they travel through are real.
The row in safeWriteText.spec.ts that pinned the old shape ("terminates on a two-link cycle"
resolving to the reached key) now pins the refusal and keeps its readlink-call count.
Controls measured, each a temporary revert of one boundary:
outer catch opened to every failure - 1 failed | 226 passed | 8 skipped: the row that names
the fallback ("refuses the delete when the filesystem will not say what the path refers to"),
readlink failures ending the walk again - 1 failed | 226 passed | 8 skipped: exactly the row
that names the readlink rule ("refuses the delete when reading the link itself is refused"),
the bound returning the key - 2 failed | 225 passed | 8 skipped: the bound row in
jsonFileRecovery.test.ts and the cycle row in safeWriteText.spec.ts, the two rows that name
the bound and nothing else.
Restored: 227 passed | 8 skipped, and the product file was byte-identical to the controlled text.
Test-side correction this change forced: four doubles in safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts answered
"not a link" with a bare Error carrying no code. That was indistinguishable from a refusal only
because the walk swallowed every readlink failure, and two rows there ("waits for the peer",
"releases the lock when the resolution under the lock rejects") went red the moment the refusal
started travelling. They now answer EINVAL, the code the real call carries. That is a double
being made accurate, not a product exemption.
Lanes: 9 writer-family files - safeWriteText.spec, safeWriteText.stagingAlias.spec,

…oves from
The move branch compared change.path with change.movePath as strings and, finding two strings,
published the destination and then unlinked the source. Under an alias the two strings name one
file: the write lands, the unlink at the end of the branch removes what was just written, and the
bookkeeping below counts both paths as published, so the tool reports a move that deleted the
file. Nothing in a patch says a move onto the file it came from is a delete, so the pair is now
refused at ApplyPatchTool.ts:594-:643, between the outside-workspace refusal (:584-:592) and the
destination save (:645). The order is the point: the refusal lands before the content is
published, before the unlink, and before the tracker or the write result hears about the file,
which leaves every file exactly as it was found.
Sameness is asked of the filesystem, not of the strings. identityOf (:618) takes a bigint stat of
each spelling and sorts a failure into absent (ENOENT) or refused (everything else);
_sameFileIdentity (:36) compares dev+ino as bigints, the pair the write owner compares at
safeWriteText.ts:247-:265, and requires both fields to actually be bigints before comparing. The
bigints are why the compare is not numeric: 2^53 and 2^53+1 are the same double, so a large inode
can make two files look alike or one file look like two. The two spellings are deliberately not
canonicalized first - canonicalizing answers "which file does this name refer to", which is the
question the write owner asks under its own lock, and folding the alias here would leave the
identity question unasked while refusing moves that ought to happen.
What changes for a caller:
- a same-file move is a tool error naming both identities ("... the two paths name the same
file (dev .., ino ..), so the move would publish onto it and then unlink what it just
published"), with the mistake counter, the tool-error record, the error say, the tool result
and the diff-view reset: the shape the outside-workspace refusal above it already uses.
- a spelling the filesystem will not stat is also a refusal, and that is new surface: nothing
used to ask, so nothing could refuse. A refusal is not read as "different files" - guessing
is what produced the deletion. Neither stat is allowed to throw through this handler, because
an exception here would replace the tool error the user should get.
- an absent source (ENOENT) is not this row's claim and its handling is unchanged.
Tests. Five rows in applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts: the three consequences of a same-file move
(nothing is written, the source is not unlinked, one refusal is reported rather than two published
files), the alias case that must still move (a junction directory on the destination side over two
different inodes - destination published, source unlinked, file context tracked), and an identity
refusal (the destination's stat answers EACCES: the move is a tool error and the provider's
handleError is never reached). A fifth row guards the numeric range: it seeds BASE_INO = 2n ** 53n
and NEIGHBOUR_INO = BASE_INO + 1n and asserts before the move that Number(BASE_INO) equals
Number(NEIGHBOUR_INO), so the fixture announces if it ever stops demonstrating a rounded collision
instead of passing quietly.
Three corrections the rows forced, all in the doubles:
- the fs/promises double answered one identity for every path. That was a question nothing was
asking. It now answers per spelling, and the five destination observation-token seeds that
carried the source's inode (4242) carry the destination's own (4343): those seeds had been
asserting the collision by accident.
- the guarded-write beforeEach re-arms the default stat implementation, because
vi.clearAllMocks() keeps implementations and a row that installs its own would leak forward.
- writeFile was added to the mockedFsPromises cast (ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>, reason in the
comment: the module's writeFile is an overload set a double cannot express).
Controls measured, each a temporary revert of one boundary against the shipped text:
identity taken from the two strings being equal - 3 failed | 41 passed: exactly the three
consequence rows,
a stat refusal read as "absent" - 1 failed | 43 passed: exactly the row that names the refusal,
identity compared as rounded Numbers - 1 failed | 43 passed: exactly the safe-integer row.
A fourth variant is recorded for what it does not prove: dropping the ino half of the compare
reddened 13 rows, because fixture pairs that collide on inode have nothing to do with identity.
That is a whole-feature revert rather than a control of this boundary, and it is not counted.
Restored: 44 passed (44), product file byte-identical to the controlled text.
Said plainly: the typeof-bigint guards in _sameFileIdentity are exercised by no row. A stat taken
with { bigint: true } always answers bigints; the guards make a double that answers numbers fail
the identity test loudly rather than match loosely.
Lanes: measured on the tree this push carries - 13 writer-family files (applyPatchTool.execute,
applyPatchTool.partial, guardedWrite, DiffViewProvider, safeWriteText, safeWriteText.stagingAlias,
safeWriteJson.lockKey, safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory and the five TaskHistoryStore specs) - 518
passed (518), of which applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts is 44 passed (44). tsc --noEmit -p . reports
only the junction artefact at activate/registerCommands.ts(88,102); eslint --prune-suppressions
--max-warnings=0 exits 0 on both touched files and src/eslint-suppressions.json equals HEAD;
prettier --check clean on both. No it.runIf added or removed by this commit, and nothing here is
gated on a platform label - the ubuntu and windows lanes execute both suites.
The alias row's geometry is the double's inode table, not a link on disk: this lane cannot
create a file symlink (fs.symlink answers EPERM here, as the alias rows in safeWriteText.spec
record) and a mocked stat would not be exercised by a real junction either. What the row proves
is that the compare is asked about identities rather than spellings; the link itself is proven
by the rows that take the filesystem for real.
…ed in
revertChanges()'s committed branch asked for the buffer's verdict and threw the answer away: it
called revertDocument at DiffViewProvider.ts:1040 (the text before this commit) and ignored the
boolean, while the save teardown a screen away honours the same boolean, reconciles the buffer
with closeFileTab + openTextDocument + findReconciliationDocument (:810-:826) and reports
CommittedWriteBufferConflictError when the buffer will not clear. The verdict is not a claim about
the command - revertDocument returns !document.isDirty (:542), a read-back of the buffer - so the
branch was discarding the only evidence it had about the state it was leaving behind. A buffer
that stays dirty after the revert still holds the bytes the guard published, and an ordinary save
(VS Code's own file service, or a later write) can put them back over a newer file. The branch
knew that: it went on to report a cancellation arriving after the commit, which is true and not
the whole state.
It now does what the sibling does. On a refusal it closes and reopens from the published bytes -
the second chance :818-:820 gives - and reads the state back (:1044-:1071):
- reopen comes back clean: the ordinary report, "a cancellation arrived after the guarded
publish had committed",
- reopen comes back dirty, or the reopen itself refuses: the detail says "the publish committed
and the open buffer could not be cleared from its content",
and the flag is set before the attempt, because a second chance that could not run left the buffer
uncleared just as surely as one that ran and came back dirty, and nothing here can prove
otherwise. The reconciliation is inside a try for the same reason: this is a teardown whose job is
to leave the session finalized, and a pass that stopped at its own reconciliation would abandon a
session whose caller is waiting for it to finalize. Nothing is thrown from inside the pass - the
reason is recorded and reported where the existing comment already puts it, after the tab work, the
preview restore and the reset (:1167-:1181).
Which caller sees the new report. Nine call sites await revertChanges: the seven tool cancellation
paths (ApplyPatchTool.ts:350 and :544, ApplyDiffTool.ts:264, EditTool.ts:212, EditFileTool.ts:437,
WriteToFileTool.ts:185, SearchReplaceTool.ts:208) each sit inside the tool's own execution
try/catch, so the report goes to that tool's handleError (WriteToFileTool.ts:217-:221 is the
nearest one) and now carries the buffer state in its text; Task.ts:4168 propagates it to the
abort path; Task.ts:3799 keeps swallowing it in .catch(console.error) and is deliberately not
touched here. No caller gains a new rejection: the only thing that can reject this method is the
throw after the pass, which was already there, and wrapping the reconciliation is what keeps that
true - a refused reopen would otherwise have reached those nine callers as a new failure. The
shared guidance string in committedWriteBufferConflictError.ts is untouched; only the detail line
differs, and the class doc now names this window beside the three it already named.
Tests. Four rows in DiffViewProvider.spec.ts, all driven through saveChanges(false) so the
committed marker is the real one: the buffer that will not clear (reconciliation ran, the detail
names the buffer, the published file survives, the session still finalizes), the reopen that came
back clean (the ordinary report, and the buffer reason explicitly absent), the case where the
revert already cleared the buffer (nothing was closed or reopened - the second chance is a
response to a refusal, not a step every cancellation takes), and the reopen that is refused (the
report is still the committed-write conflict rather than the reopen's EACCES, and the tab work and
the preview restore still ran). The buffer is a structural double held under { isDirty: boolean }
and cast to the interface once at the boundary, because the factory's object carries a mutable
isDirty and the interface declares it read-only. The refusal row rejects the reopen once, so the
module double's own default is what the rest of the file keeps getting, and clears the tab and
reopen counts before the pass under test: saveChanges ran its own teardown on the way in.
Controls measured, each a temporary revert of one boundary against the shipped text:
verdict thrown away again - 3 failed | 169 passed: exactly the three rows that depend on the
reconciliation,
reconciliation unconditional - 1 failed | 171 passed: exactly the row that pins "does not reopen
a buffer the revert already cleared",
buffer reason reported on every committed cancellation - 5 failed | 167 passed: the two new rows
that name the ordinary report plus the three rows in this file that pin the committed-cancellation
message text, i.e. every row that names the message and nothing else,
reopen refusal allowed to propagate out of the pass - 1 failed | 171 passed: exactly the row that
names it,
flag set only after a successful reopen - 1 failed | 171 passed: the same row.
Restored: 172 passed (172), product file byte-identical to the controlled text.
Said plainly about what these rows do not measure: they drive the provider against this spec's
vscode doubles. That a revert command, a tab close and a reopen really do leave a clean buffer in
a VS Code host is the assumption the reconciliation rests on, and no row here proves it; the rows
prove which report the teardown gives for each verdict it reads back.

…uption settings
The reviewer on the move-refusal thread asked for a regression covering both
`preventFocusDisruption` settings and confirming that the rejection preserves the source file.
The product was re-measured first, because the answer is not the one the escalation that funded
this implied: the refusal (ApplyPatchTool.ts:594-:643) sits above the
`isPreventFocusDisruptionEnabled` split - guarded `saveDirectly` at :646, raw `fs.mkdir` +
`fs.writeFile` at :727 - so both settings already refuse, and the wording cannot diverge because
there is one statement of the condition. What was missing was coverage: every row in this file ran
with the flag armed on, which left the symmetry a claim about line numbers rather than something a
test had checked.
Three rows, all with the flag off:
- a destination that names the source's file is refused, and neither the mkdir, the writeFile nor
the unlink runs;
- an ordinary flag-off move still publishes through mkdir + fs.writeFile + unlink with the
saveDirectly double unused - that is what pins which branch ran, and it says the refusal has
not become a ban on flag-off moves;
- a destination that is not there reads as "absent", which is not the source, and the move
proceeds.
The harness arms the flag on, and the provider stub captures the getState function by value, so a
row has to change what that function resolves to (`mockGetState.mockResolvedValue`) rather than
re-point the `mockGetState` binding. Re-pointing it compiles, runs green and exercises the guarded
branch; the two must-move rows were green-but-wrong that way until the mechanism was measured, and
it is recorded here because a flag-off row that is secretly flag-on is the kind of green that
survives a review. `mkdir` joins `writeFile` in the `mockedFsPromises` cast, loosely typed for the
same stated reason - both carry overload sets that MockedFunction would collapse.
Controls, as run counts:
- gating the refusal on the flag (`moveRefusal !== undefined && isPreventFocusDisruptionEnabled`),
the asymmetry the row objects to, reddens 1 of 47 and the row it reddens is the flag-off refusal
row. That is a boundary control for this claim.
- removing the refusal statement reddens 5 of 47 (the three consequence rows, the
withheld-identity row and this file's flag-off row). That is a whole-feature revert, not a
control, and it is counted as such.
Shipped tree: 47 passed (47), exit 0. `tsc --noEmit -p .` reports one error, the junction artefact
at activate/registerCommands.ts(88,102), which is not this change. eslint --prune-suppressions
--max-warnings=0 exits 0 on the touched file; the prune also rewrote unrelated entries elsewhere in
src/eslint-suppressions.json, which is reverted here rather than shipped, because cleanup with
nothing to do with these rows belongs in its own commit. prettier --check clean.
No it.runIf added or removed, and nothing claimed about the platform: the geometry these rows drive
is the doubles' inode table, as in the rows landed in f653f86, so they run wherever the suite
runs. This does not close the separate finding that the flag-off destination write bypasses
`guardedWrite` altogether (thread bwM6z8Hy8): the identity refusal is not that guard, and closing
that changes write semantics for every flag-off user, which is the owner's call.
The windows platform lane at 3159d0a failed on four rows of
core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts (the two read-back rows at
:145 and :146, the withFileLock argument at :159 and the deleteMany batch row at :255), every one of
them ENOENT or an argument mismatch under
C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\task-history-delete-semantics-<rand>. The same head is green on
ubuntu and the spec was last touched on main by bb6cbee (Zoo-Code-Org#2297), so a file this branch never
changed went red only on this branch.
The cause is ours: deleteJsonFile (utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts:89) now calls
withFileLock(await resolveLockKey(path.resolve(filePath)), ...) at :95 and unlinks the callback's
canonical path, so a canonical spelling crosses the mock boundary into rows whose own expected paths
are built from the spelling os.tmpdir() answered. On the hosted Windows runner those two are the 8.3
form of the profile directory and its long name, so === on paths stopped recognising the injected
EACCES target, the real unlink ran, and the read-back rows saw ENOENT. Ubuntu never sees it because
there the two spellings are one string.
The repair is in the comparison rather than the canonicalisation: reverting the canonicalisation
would undo the exclusion the reviewer asked for while fixing nothing about the underlying fact.
- the two "%s preserves the canonical file if backup cleanup fails" rows and the deleteMany
"continues the batch after a failed unlink" row inject through sameFileAs now, which resolves
both sides before comparing;
- "unlinks under the shared per-file lock, evicts cache and mtime, and writes through once" pins
the acquired key to the file inside the directory object the row's path resolves to (canonical
parent plus basename), because the delete removes the file and after that neither realpath nor
stat can answer for it.
This is a main-authored row updated because our change deliberately moved a canonical path across a
mock boundary, not because the row was ever wrong about what it wanted to pin.
Reproduced on this machine rather than inferred from a log: pointing TMP/TEMP at a junction alias of
a real directory (link spelling against target spelling, verified different through realpath)
produced the same four failures before this change and 10 passed (10) after; the ordinary temp root
also runs 10 passed (10). The 8.3 spelling itself is only observable on a hosted runner, so the
hosted case stays lane-only evidence and is labelled that way.
Control: restoring the spelling comparison inside sameFileAs reddens 3 of 10 under the junction root
(the two backup-cleanup rows and the deleteMany batch row); the fourth row is decided by the
parent-directory comparison, which that control does not touch. Blast radius for the file, whole
core group at this head: 199 files / 4426 passed | 9 skipped (4435), exit 0 - those 9 skips are the
windows-gated rows the lane reports too. eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exit 0, with
the prune's unrelated rewrites elsewhere in src/eslint-suppressions.json reverted rather than
shipped; tsc --noEmit -p . reports only the junction artefact at activate/registerCommands.ts
(88,102); prettier --check clean. No product change, no it.runIf added or removed.
…oo-Code-Org#1918 review, DiffViewProvider.ts:299).
The exclusive create now keeps its handle open and the bracketing identity reads go through that handle
(placeholderHandle.stat) instead of fs.stat(absolutePath), so a rename landing between the create and the
identity read can no longer make the version token describe a different file. What stays equal: the token
formula and every one of its components (versionTokenOfStat over dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs), the S2
stat-matched verification (bracketing identities must agree and the content must be exactly the empty
placeholder), the EEXIST reporting, the placeholder-token replacement of a prior observation, the
accept-time CAS semantics, and the cleanup token being captured whether or not the owning task is live.
Only the source of the identity moves - from the path to the file that was opened - and nothing on this
path compares a path spelling, because the writer hands canonical paths to the lock.
Test side: two new rows pin the source (handle identity and path identity deliberately disagree, so the
recorded token is the handle one) and its control (handle and path naming the same file gives exactly the
token the placeholder rows already pin). The harness mocks fs/promises wholesale, so a rename physically
landing between the create and the identity read cannot be expressed here; the row states the divergence
the rename produces rather than the rename itself, and says so in its comment.
Five assertion lines in main-authored rows moved from the writeFile double to the open double
(:2142, :2171, :2204 and the lost-create-race row at :2225-:2233): they pinned which double the create
used, and this change deliberately moves the create from fs.writeFile(flag:wx) to fs.open("wx"). None of
them was wrong about what it wanted to pin - exclusivity and the lost-race report are still pinned - and
the fs/promises mock now supplies an open() whose stat delegates to the same stat mock, so every
placeholder row still sees the same token values. DiffViewProvider spec: 174 passed (174).
No changeset, no CHANGELOG. tsc over src reports only the pre-existing activate/registerCommands.ts(88,102)
TS2739.
…efore claiming it
Review row 4558320090 asked for the order of the two checks in
DiffViewProvider.finalizeSession, and the control that separates that row
from its negation ran twice in a worktree detached at cfb7fe5: the head
as committed exits 1 with "AssertionError: expected [ 'teardown-start', ... ]
to deeply equal [ 'teardown-start', ... ]" placing joiner-resolved before
teardown-end, and the same file with only the two checks swapped exits 0 with
"Tests 1 passed (1)". The reason the window exists is that both call sites
(1154, 1165) pass () => this.reset(), and reset() sets
sessionFinalizationClaimed at 1857 in its synchronous prefix: finalizeSession
invoked that callback at 1362 and stored the promise only at 1363, so a
caller arriving in between read the claim the teardown itself had just made
and returned at 1356 without awaiting the teardown, against the contract this
method states at 1349.
The join test my control used now lives in the spec that owns the behaviour,
at DiffViewProvider.spec.ts 4779-4807, written against the real provider
through bracket notation. Measured with it in place: with the reorder the
focused suite exits 0 with "Test Files 1 passed (1)" and "Tests 175 passed
(175)", and with the file restored to cfb7fe5 the same suite exits 1 on
this test alone with the assertion text above, so the test is red before the
fix and green after it.
Gates, with exits: prettier --check on both files exit 0 ("All matched files
use Prettier code style!"); eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 on
both files exit 0, and the suppression entries for both files read 0 before
and 0 after, so nothing rose and no suppression was added; tsc --noEmit over
src exit 0. No Stryker directive was written.
…ory before writing content into it
On Windows the 0o700 mode handed to the staging directory is no
restriction at all. Measured here, a directory created that way and
chmod-synced still listed read for BUILTIN\Users and modify for NT
AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users, and a file written into it inherited
exactly those rights, so the new content sat readable by every user on
the machine until the commit renamed it into place. Step 0 now sets an
access list on this write's own staging directory - inheritance dropped,
full control for the account the process runs as - before Step 1 opens
the staged file. When the restriction command itself fails the step
reports it through onWarning and the write goes ahead, which is how the
target DACL steps already behave for an icacls that fails.
Both shapes below were measured before the step was written. A trustee
icacls cannot resolve leaves the directory exactly as it was: a name
mapping to no SID exits 1332 with "No mapping between account names and
security IDs was done." and an empty principal exits 87 printing its
usage text, so the notice names the exit code and the write continues
under the rights the directory had. Second, a grant addressed to an
account this process does not carry leaves the directory with no right
for it at all, and listing, opening and writing inside it then each
answer EPERM. The staged open is where that shows up: if it fails with
EPERM or EACCES after this write applied the restriction, the step resets
the directory it narrowed, says so, and stages under the restored
rights; if this write never applied the restriction, the lockout is not
its own to undo and the failure reaches the caller unchanged.
The mocked rows assert the restriction against the staged open, both
trap shapes, and the control in which an unapplied restriction
propagates. The NTFS row builds a parent whose access list carries read
for other users, narrows the target below it, and reads the staging
directory and the staged file's own lists before and after the step.
The ported chain replayed onto the trunk acquisition spelling
(acquireFileLock(absoluteFilePath)) but kept the helpers, guards and test ground that
were keyed on the retired resolveLockKey spelling, so the chain did not type-check:
fifty five lines across six files. This commit re-lands that ground under the trunk
spelling, keeps the trunk text at the contested hunks, and names what the port dropped
instead of counting it as a saving.
- safeWriteJson.ts: confinement, the confineTo option, the drift guard, the lock-artefact
and staging-directory probes, the backup-path variable and the rollback block stay;
the lock key is the path the caller gives and the guards measure against it.
- applyDiffTool, guardedWrite, jsonFileRecovery, DiffViewProvider.spec: imports and
double ground this line owns are restored; the duplicated Task import is removed.
- safeWriteJson.test.ts: the confinement rows come back; the two rows that pinned the
referent lock key are dropped with the retired spelling and named in place.
- applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts stays the trunk blob: the outside-workspace
spec this line carried is a cost of the re-land, not a saving.
Gates run in the worktree: prettier --check over the carried files exit 0; eslint
--prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 over them exit 0 with no suppression entry moved;
tsc --noEmit in src exit 0 (was 55 error lines); root tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit exit
0; turbo run check-types exit 0 across 13 packages.
u154: the content pass landed on this head, pushed under the lease.
New head: 5dd5ce9 (was e09e72d).
The lease was pinned to a transport read of that ref taken in the same program as the push; the
push printed "+ e09e72d...5dd5ce9 u154-content -> fws/u7-tool-wiring (forced update)" and the
ref read back as 5dd5ce9.
What the port took. The chain replays onto the trunk text at the contested hunks of
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, which takes the advisory lock on the path the caller gives:
"releaseLock = await acquireFileLock(absoluteFilePath)". The replay carried that acquisition
spelling but kept this line's helpers, guards and test ground that were keyed on the retired
resolveLockKey spelling, so the ported tree printed 55 type-check lines across six files. The
hosted compile leg on #2433 is a different class: its annotation is "Process completed with exit
code 1." on .github, and the same tree's own formatter run is what fails on it.
What was re-landed under the trunk spelling (six files, +528 / -25 in this commit):
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: the confineTo option, the confinement checks (pre-mkdir, pre-lock,
under-lock), the lock-drift guard, the lock-artefact and staging-directory probes, the
confined-path and drift error classes, the actualTempBackupFilePath variable, and the rollback
block taken from the trunk text. The lock key is the path the caller gives, and the guards
measure the publish target resolved under the lock against it.
src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts: the versionTokenOfStat import this line owns.
src/core/tools/tests/guardedWrite.spec.ts: the two abort assignments on the task double.
src/utils/tests/jsonFileRecovery.test.ts: the LockKeyWalkIncompleteError / resolveLockKey
import, which its seven failing rows were cascading from.
src/integrations/editor/tests/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts: the CommittedWriteBufferConflictError
import, the duplicated "import type { Task }" line removed, and the observation-registry ground
on the task doubles.
src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts: the confinement rows re-landed (271 lines).
Named costs, not savings:
src/core/tools/tests/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts goes back to the trunk blob, so
the outside-workspace spec this line carried is not in the pushed tree.
The two rows that pinned the referent lock key ("acquires the lock on the resolved referent, not
the caller alias" and "resolves the real proper-lockfile after the capture above is undone")
describe the retired spelling; they were dropped and the drop is named in the file.
src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts replays without this line's 27 lines; not restored here.
Gates, each with its exit printed, run in a worktree whose install was shown to match the head at
the manifest level (pnpm-lock.yaml, root and src package.json, tsconfig, pnpm-workspace.yaml and
the package manifests compared blob to blob):
prettier --check over the six carried files: exit 0, "All matched files use Prettier code style!"
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 over the same six: exit 0 with no output. Each
carried file has no entry in src/eslint-suppressions.json before the run (absent, 0) and none
after it (absent, 0); the registry keeps 265 file keys either way. The registry was then
restored from HEAD, sha256/16 c910ac80835ca199, byte-identical to the head blob, so nothing moved
and no suppression was added.
package type gate, binary C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/.tmp-u143/wt-1918-align/node_modules/typescript/
bin/tsc (v5.9.3), body "tsc --noEmit" run in src: exit 0, 0 error lines. The same command on the
ported tree printed 55 error lines.
repository type gate, same binary, body "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit": exit 0, 0 error lines.
Then turbo run check-types, binary C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/.tmp-u143/wt-1918-align/node_modules/
.bin/turbo (v2.10.0), across 13 packages: exit 0, 0 error lines.
The pre-push hook ran the type gate on its own before the push: 12 tasks successful, 12 total.
Price against the trunk tip d76dffa with the committed instrument
scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, whose caps print as MAX_CHANGED_LINES 500 and MAX_MUTANTS 400. It refuses
at the line cap, throwing: "extension has 1900 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or
obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion." The raw contribution against the trunk tip is
42 files changed, 17052 insertions, 366 deletions. The block therefore moved - the chain type-checks
now - but the size ceiling is not cleared, and the 400-mutant ceiling is untested at this head: no
Stryker preflight was bought in this leg, so no mutant figure is claimed here.
The required legs have not re run at this head. Nothing here resolved a review, re-ran a check or
touched a label, so a reader should expect the required legs to run now against 5dd5ce9 and should read no verdict for this head from them yet.
…his line still owed
Two costs the previous content pass named and left open are closed here. Both pieces are taken
out of the branch blobs at e09e72d rather than retyped:
- src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts returns from the trunk blob
bf27e65 to the branch blob e1bca01, a pure +6 at one hunk (103,0 / 104,6): no trunk line
of that file is removed, 0 of its 215 non-blank trunk lines are absent from the result.
- src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts gains the 27 lines this line still owed, from the branch blob
5634a13 onto the tree's file, a pure +27 at one hunk (355,0 / 356,27) with no removal, so
nothing the tree carried - trunk text included - is overwritten.
Proof against the trunk at the contested hunks: git diff HEAD shows two hunks, both insertion-only,
2 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 0 deletions; the result is byte-identical to the two branch
blobs (sha256-16 2349f88518ca9095 and f7ae903055ba41fd).
Gates in this worktree, whose install was shown to match the basis at the manifest level (15 of 15

Two pieces this line still owed are re landed here, taken out of blobs rather than retyped.
New head: fbec995 (parent 5dd5ce9),

the same program, which answered 5dd5ce9; the ref read back
afterwards answered fbec995, equal to the local head. Push exit 0.
What was re landed, both pieces taken out of the branch blobs at e09e72d rather than typed by hand:
src/core/tools/tests/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts, the outside-workspace

Proved against the trunk text at the contested hunks: git diff HEAD^1..HEAD is 2 files changed,
33 insertions(+), 0 deletions, both hunks insertion-only, and the committed files are byte-identical

Hooks, censused before claiming any of them ran, since some worktrees in this shop carry only the
large-file-storage shims: core.hooksPath in this worktree is .husky/_ and that directory holds the
whole husky set - husky.sh 160 B, h 551 B, and 16 shims of 39 B each, pre-commit and pre-push among
them - so the repository's own hooks do fire here. The commit log (2020 B) shows lint-staged running
"pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 --no-warn-ignored" over the 2 staged files, and the push
log (2131 B) shows the pre-push act running tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit and turbo check-types with
12 tasks successful. No --no-verify was used anywhere.
Install proved to match first: this worktree's tree carries 15 of 15 manifests (pnpm-lock.yaml,
package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, src/package.json, src/tsconfig.json, webview-ui/package.json and
the nine packages/*/package.json) with blob ids identical to the revision the install was laid out
for, e09e72d, so everything below ran against a matching install.
Gates, each exit printed:
Formatter over the carried files: prettier --check on both exits 0 with "All matched files use
Prettier code style!" and left both files byte-unchanged; the tree-wide pnpm run format:check
exits 0.
Lint over them: pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 on
core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts and core/tools/tests/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts exits 0
with no output. Per-file suppression counts read out of src/eslint-suppressions.json: ReadFileTool
absent (0) before the run and absent (0) after; the outside-workspace spec has no registry key at
all, absent (0) before and absent (0) after; 265 file keys in the registry either way. The run
rewrote the registry by serialization to 33294 B, sha256-16 3dbacfef48102e09, and it was restored
with git checkout HEAD -- src/eslint-suppressions.json to 30910 B, sha256-16 c910ac80835ca199,
byte-identical to the head blob, so nothing moved and no suppression was added.
Suites covering the carried files, each exit 0 with its pass and fail counts printed:
core/tools/tests/readFileTool.spec.ts - 1 test file passed, 112 tests passed, 0 failed.
core/tools/tests/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts - 1 test file passed, 11 tests passed,

Type gate as its own act, binary named by path:

Repository gate as a separate act: the same binary by path run as "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit"
from the tree root: exit 0, 0 error lines. And turbo run check-types (turbo 2.11.10 through pnpm
exec in this worktree) printed "Running check-types in 13 packages" and exited 0 with 12 tasks
successful of 12 and 0 error TS lines.
The pre-push hook's own check-types run exited 0 as printed above.
Price against the trunk tip. This line's contribution at the new head,
git diff d76dffa..fbec995, is
43 files changed, 17085 insertions(+), 366 deletions(-), the same under the three-dot reading. The
committed instrument's ceilings are MAX_CHANGED_LINES 500 and MAX_MUTANTS 400. Running its selection
over that contribution against that trunk tip refused before generating any mutant, throwing:
extension has 1915 changed executable lines (limit 500). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-
reviewed narrow exclusion.
So no mutant count is claimed at this head, and the binding size ceiling belongs to the whole
contribution, not to this commit, which is 2 files changed, 33 insertions(+).
The required legs have not re run at this new head fbec995, and no
hosted check-run result at it was read, so nothing about them is claimed here. A reader should expect
them to start now.
Delta at this head, from one bought per-commit check listing. Nothing above this line is reprinted.
One read, GET /repos/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/commits/this-head/check-runs?per_page=100, answered 200 with
total_count 18 and 18 rows returned and no Link header, so the listing is complete. Every row came back
status completed. Fifteen carry conclusion success, one carries conclusion skipped and one carries
conclusion failure or cancelled per the rows named below. No row is queued and no row is in progress, so
nothing here is a leg still running.
The six names the branch protection decides on, each as this listing prints it:
check-translations, id 131806752831, completed success, annotations_count 1.
platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest), id 131806752798, completed FAILURE, annotations_count 3.
platform-unit-test (windows-latest), id 131806753042, completed CANCELLED, annotations_count 2.

knip, id 131806752782, completed success, annotations_count 1.
e2e-mock, id 131806751533, completed success, annotations_count 1.
None of the six is absent from the listing. Two of them are not green: one failed and one was cancelled.
The other twelve rows, so the green ones are not taken for required ones: CodeQL 131807507932 success;

What this changes on this pull: my earlier comment here said the required legs had not re run at this
head. They have. This listing supersedes that line, and it says something my earlier comment did not:
the re run leaves one required leg failed and one required leg cancelled, and the advisory mutation leg
failed as well. A reader should not read this head as clear.
What was not read: the annotation bodies of all 18 rows are unread - only the annotations_count numbers
this listing itself printed are quoted, and the failure text of the failed, cancelled and advisory rows
was not opened, so which test or which line moved is not stated here. No CI job log, no ruleset, no
check-suite, no pull object and no review state was read in this act, and the earlier legs' unread
items stand. No verdict is asked. Nothing was landed, pushed, resolved or suppressed.
The required ubuntu arm died in src's test:coverage:misc lane on 51 tests in

while src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts locks the key resolveLockKey produces
and says so in its own comments. A write through an alias therefore queued
behind a lock no other writer to that file holds, and the guard's agreement
check then rejected the write it had just approved.
- utils/safeWriteJson.ts: resolve the lock key before taking the lock, and
commit the rename onto the resolved target rather than the caller's spelling.
- utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts: restate the read ledger to the
readings the repaired guard actually takes.
- utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts: name the leftover prefix the guard
writes, run the mock undo in order instead of hoisted above the imports, and
measure the follow-on write against the stage list the guard reports.
- integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts: observe the paths
these fixtures publish, which is the state the guarded publish requires.
Negative control: reverting the guard lines brings back 49 failures in the
same four files. With the repair the misc lane runs 2253 passed, 21 skipped,
exit 0, where it printed 51 failed at this head.
The required ubuntu arm died on src's misc coverage lane, and that same command
now runs clean locally at a4e8363, which is pushed to this branch.
Arm and command. Job 131806752798, step "Run extension coverage lanes", command pnpm run test:coverage:misc, which is vitest run --config vitest.misc.config.ts --coverage. The lane's own summary lines read Failed Tests 51, Test Files 4 failed | 117 passed | 2 skipped and Tests 51 failed | 2198 passed | 25 skipped; the api, services and core lanes of the same job passed. The 51 rows sit
in four spec files: utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts 4,
utils/tests/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts 7,
utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts 7 and
integrations/editor/tests/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts 33.
Local run of that same command at fbec995 (Windows, install proved to match the
manifest): exit 1, Test Files 4 failed | 118 passed | 1 skipped (123) and Tests 49 failed | 2204 passed | 21 skipped (2274) - the same four files, 4/7/5/33.
Decision taken from the guard rather than from the rows: the guard refuses cases it
should accept. src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:190-192 locks await resolveLockKey(absolutePath) and its comment at 233-236 names safeWriteJson
among the writers holding that resolved key, while safeWriteJson spelled its own key
from the caller's pathname. A write reaching the file through an alias therefore
queued behind a lock no other writer to that file holds, and the guard's agreement
check then refused the write it had just approved: 22 of the 51 hosted rows report LockKeyDriftError: Refusing to publish ...: the advisory lock was taken on ....
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: three executable lines changed in place, none added,
none removed - the key is await resolveLockKey(absoluteFilePath), the lock is
taken on that key, and the commit rename lands on the resolved target. Nine
comment lines added, five removed, four of them claims about the lexical spelling
that the code no longer holds.
src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts: three executable lines removed
(one resolve and the two lstat entries of a read ledger), none added; eight
comment lines added, five removed. The two staging-path lstat probes those
entries counted are not reached once the key is spelled as the resolved target,
and the row now says so instead of expecting them.
src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.test.ts: five executable lines changed in place
(the leftover prefix named as the guard writes it, the mock undo run in order with vi.doUnmock instead of the hoisted vi.unmock, the follow-on write measured
against the stage list the guard itself reports, and the two assertions about the
recovered state), four executable lines added (a prefix constant, a stage array,
a counter snapshot, a trace callback); 21 comment lines added, eight removed.
src/integrations/editor/tests/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts: 16 executable fixture
lines added, none removed, 19 comment lines added - the four affected describes
now observe the paths their fixtures publish, which is the read state the guarded
publish requires before it will accept the write.
Proof. Reverting those four files to fbec995 brings back 49 failing rows in the
same four files. With the repair the same command prints Test Files 122 passed | 1 skipped (123) and Tests 2253 passed | 21 skipped (2274), exit 0. The core
suites covering core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts and
core/tools/tests/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts print Test Files 4 passed (4) and Tests 170 passed (170). Prettier --check, eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 (the four files carry no suppression
entry before or after; the prune rewrote the registry's formatting only, so it was
restored byte-identical), tsc --noEmit in src and the repository's pnpm run check-types (12 of 12 tasks) each exit 0.
Spend. Declared 2 core requests before buying anything: this arm's hosted log (1)
and this comment (1). Each prices as one core request; the hosted blob was fetched
without the token, so the 302 carries the whole request.
All local runs, the git transport reads and the anonymous reads are not
core-priced.
Underspend is 0 rather than banked; nothing here is an overspend, and the retired
two-point convention was checked before calling anything overspend.
Unread. The cancelled arm 131806753042 carries 2 annotations whose bodies were
never bought and stay unbought: named unread, not read. Two rows reddened in the
hosted lane and never locally - "publishes over a symlink referent that stays
inside the confined directory" and "confines a scope path that itself runs through
a symlink and does not exist yet" - so nothing about them was reproduced, and the
inference that this repair reaches them rests on their reported error and the 22
rows that were reproduced, not on a local reddening. The hosted lane at a4e8363 is not read in this comment.
Ceilings the mutation instrument publishes: MAX_MUTANTS 400, MAX_CHANGED_LINES 500.
It refuses at the second: "extension has 1917 changed executable lines (limit 500).
Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion." That measures the
whole line against the trunk tip, not this commit.
Resolution counts untouched, no suppression added, no Stryker directive, no label,
no changeset, no changelog. No verdict asked: this states one arm's command, the
local run of it, the repair and what is still unread.
The misc lane at a4e8363 went from 51 failing tests to 2 on the hosted
ubuntu arm. The two that remain describe the publish target for a write
made through an alias, and both spellings predate the commit rename
following the resolution taken under the lock:
- safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts read the caller's spelling and expected
this writer's content there; on a case-sensitive filesystem the rename
replaces the name the filesystem reported, so the peer keeps that entry
under the spelling the caller was given.
- safeWriteJson.test.ts expected the link node to be replaced in place and
the referent to keep its seed; publishing on the resolved target leaves
the alias a link that reads through to the payload, while the referent,
the entry every writer to that file locks, carries the new content.
guardedWrite.ts already binds its own publish to the resolved target, so
the rows now describe the boundary the guard documents. No executable line
changed: 16 lines added, 12 removed, all inside __tests__.
… on the footing the writer resolves
The windows arm of platform-unit-test fails on one row at fcd9500:
services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.stagingDacl.spec.ts:226 compared
path.dirname(observation.stagingDirAtNarrow) -- a name the writer resolved -- with the fixture
parent's unresolved spelling. The runner hands os.tmpdir() in its 8.3 short form
(C:\Users\RUNNER~1\... where the resolved path reads C:\Users\runneradmin\...), so the row was
deciding a directory question by a spelling question. Locally the same row reddens under a
mis-cased TEMP and passes under a canonical one, with and without the change below.
The assertion now reads both sides through realpathSync.native, the OS-level resolution whose
output the writer's canonicalization reports on Windows, so the row states which directory
holds the staging directory instead of which spelling each side arrived in. Six comment lines
added, one executable line changed in place; nothing outside __tests__ moved.
… the resolved commit destination
The windows arm of platform-unit-test still fails at ca208a2, and its log names twelve rows in
utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts: `expected 'WRITE_COMPLETED\n' to contain
'EXIT_AT_REPLACEMENT_RENAME'` at line 187. The child's seam decides which rename is the commit step
by comparing the rename's destination with `path.resolve(INTERRUPTION_TARGET_PATH)`, while the
writer now commits to the path it resolved. On the hosted runner the temporary root arrives in its
8.3 short form, so the two spellings name the same directory differently, the seam never fires, and
the child completes the write instead of dying at the rename.
The seam resolves the destination the way the writer resolves its own destination - canonicalize
the parent directory with realpathSync.native and re-join the basename - and compares that with the
same resolution of the target, falling back to the handed spelling where the path is not there yet.
Inside CHILD_SCRIPT that is 13 comment lines and 10 executable lines added and 1 executable line
replaced; the outer TypeScript statement is unchanged and nothing outside __tests__ moved.

Review comments at @src/core/tools/__tests__/applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts:
- Line 1218: Update the test using mockSaveDirectly so the save double records
the committed destination token before rejecting; then assert that the refreshed
destination observation remains in the registry. Keep the existing error-message
and no-unlink assertions.
- Line 620: Update the save-failure and both stat-failure tests around
ApplyPatchTool.execute to spy on the real observation registry’s observe method
and assert it was not called before cleanup can withdraw observations. Replace
the post-cleanup observationRegistry.has assertion with this behavior-focused
assertion, preserving each test’s existing failure setup.
Review comments at @src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:
- Around line 110-116: Update the read path in ApplyDiffTool to read file bytes
and decode them with a fatal UTF-8 decoder; if decoding fails, return a tool
error before calling task.observationRegistry.observe. Preserve the existing
observation behavior for successfully decoded files.
Review comments at @src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:
- Around line 464-467: Update the dangling-link rejection in the guarded-write
path so its model-facing message does not include the absolute ancestor path.
Use the existing workspace-relative displayPath or omit the path, while
preserving the GuardRejectedError displayPath argument and rejection behavior.
Review comments at
@src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.stagingDacl.spec.ts:
- Around line 163-166: The observed ACL queries discard runIcacls exit codes,
allowing failed commands to be mistaken for valid listings. In the staging
observations and the published-file query, require a successful exit status
before parsing or asserting ACL output; preserve explicit skips for
capability-probe failures.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Line 838: After `_fsyncFile(backupFd)` completes, sync `dirPath` using the
existing directory-sync mechanism before the commit rename. If syncing fails,
stop before replacing the target and retain the completed backup for recovery.
Review comments at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:
- Line 487: Create the staging file beside the effective publish target used by
the rename, including when `resolvedTargetPath` points elsewhere from
`absoluteFilePath`. Update recovery to use that same staging location, while
preserving the existing path resolution and fallback behavior.
- Line 487: Update the EPERM fallback in the safeWriteJson flow to use the same
resolved publish target as the primary rename for backup, replacement, and
rollback, preserving the symlink referent. Add a regression test in the
safeWriteJson tests that forces the first rename to return EPERM and verifies
the referent is updated without replacing the symlink.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that change the resolved target during the approval
callback, then assert that the pre-approval canonical identity reaches both save
paths: 1. **EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool:** On an outside-workspace
edit, make `realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different
value after it. Assert that `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at
args[8], and that the repointed value does not appear there. 2.
**WriteToFileTool:** Make `realpath` return different values before and after
approval. Assert that the captured value reaches both `saveDirectly` (args[8])
and `saveChanges` (args[4]). 3. **ApplyPatchTool:** Add outside-workspace add
and update tests that repoint the target during approval. Assert that the
captured identity reaches the publish path for each. Keep the existing
guard-level identity and missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename` (line
878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows it, open a
directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that handle. 2.
Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path, so the approved
canonical directory is the directory that receives the rename. 3. Add an
integration test. It replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an outside
directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. It asserts that the
publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized directory changes. 4.
Invert or remove the assertion at
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts:260`, which follows
a replaced directory to its new target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, catch
block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued
the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`. Have
`reset()` and `finalizeSession` advance it. Skip the
`disposeActiveEditorListener`, `cancelDeferredScroll`, `runTeardown` discard
pass, and its `closeOwnDiffView` and `restorePreviewTabs` steps when the token
changed or `sessionFinalizationClaimed` is set. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. Alternatively, route the cleanup through `finalizeSession`
or a claim so a finished pass cannot repeat. 2. Make the tool error handlers'
`reset()` calls (for example `src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts` around lines
38-46 and 211-219) skip or bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear
a newer session. 3. Add a regression test in
`src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`. Hold a
`saveChanges` publish that is still awaiting. Trigger `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Release the publish so it rejects with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

Timestamp: 2026-10-06T00:19:25.595Z
Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, the TypeScript safeWriteText API intentionally requires confirmed directory-entry durability for a successful POSIX return. Directory-open or directory-fsync failures, including EINVAL, ENOTSUP, EISDIR, and EPERM, must produce PostCommitDurabilityError after the commit rather than be ignored. The error identifies the target containing the committed content. When backup mode is enabled, retaining the old-content backup on this failure path is intentional recovery behavior; do not recommend deleting it merely because the commit rename succeeded.

Learning: In Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the TypeScript ApplyPatchTool.handleUpdateFile move branch in src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts deliberately rejects destinations outside every workspace root with a tool error. Such destinations must not receive outside-workspace write authorization or undergo destination canonicalizeForApproval before that rejection. Allowed move destinations rely on guardedWrite workspace containment.

Learning: In the TypeScript Windows write path in `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, DACL preservation is intentionally best-effort. `_saveDaclWindows` failure must not prevent publication, because `icacls` can fail on non-NTFS mounts or in permission-restricted environments. `_restoreDaclWindows` failure is non-fatal after commit. Do not require fatal DACL handling or rollback of committed content under this contract.

Learning: In Zoo-Code, DiffViewProvider.open in src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts intentionally records a stat-matched preview observation with complete: false for an unread existing file. The edit guard accepts this partial observation; this policy is documented and asserted. Do not treat that acceptance alone as an unintended authorization bypass. The separate question of whether the preview token is a valid baseline for previously constructed edit content requires a cross-unit maintainer decision.

Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, saveDirectly() treats post-publish buffer reconciliation as a condition for reporting success. closeFileTab() is best-effort and skips dirty tabs. The subsequent workspace.textDocuments lookup and isDirty check independently reject the operation if the dirty buffer survives. Do not treat successful tab closure as this flow's contract or require discarding unsaved user edits merely to report success.

src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts: 1
576-585: Stability & Availability
The comment's central observation holds: the guarded write path does not implement the cancellation fence that Task.ts documents. The grep finds no reader of cancellationGeneration in src, and guardedWrite.ts:576-585 relies only on task.abort.
Whether that gap lets a queued write publish after cancellation is not established. The stated trigger requires abort to return false after a cancellation. The inspected code does not show that. The reducer's abort() definition and resume behavior are missing from the evidence. Without them, the publish-after-cancel consequence cannot be decided.
Do not present the publish-after-cancel path as confirmed until these are read: the abort function imported from src/core/task/run-state/runState.ts, and the reset conditions for latches.abort in resumeAfterDelegation. If the latch can never return to false during a run, the documented fence is redundant with the current check. In that case, the correction is to align the Task.ts comment with the implementation, not to add generation capture to guardedWrite.
observe() replaces the entry that ApplyPatchTool tracks for identity-based withdrawal. If publication fails, that withdrawal can miss the restored entry. The existing observation-restoration finding remains applicable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
660-660: Previously reported: cancellation is not serialized with publication.
While guardedWrite() is pending, publication can finish before Line 667 records committedPublish. A cancellation can still select the uncommitted rollback branch. The existing in-flight-publication finding remains applicable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
690-691: Previously reported: adoption does not record committed state.
Successful adoption continues without assigning committedPublish. A later cancellation can therefore unlink an adopted create or restore an adopted modify. The existing adoption finding remains applicable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
47-47: The previously reported Windows drive-root rejection remains.
For a target directly inside C:\, directory preparation calls recursive mkdir on the drive root. Node 22.23.4 documents that this operation fails with EPERM. Acquisition therefore rejects before calling proper-lockfile. Skip directory creation when the parent is a filesystem root. This duplicates the existing unresolved comment. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts: 1
95-95: The previously reported delete-target revalidation gap remains.
If an alias changes while lock acquisition waits, the callback still deletes the captured referent. The requested path can remain readable through its new referent. Re-resolve the requested path after acquisition and reject or retry if its key changed. This duplicates the existing target-revalidation comment.
src/utils/__tests__/fileLockContention.test.ts: 1
30-30: The previously reported lock-cleanup gap remains.
If an assertion fails before release, finally removes the temporary tree while the lock remains active. The lock library can then report the missing artefact through onCompromised. Release every acquired lock in finally before removing the tree. This duplicates the existing cleanup comment. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Check observation creation before cleanup removes it.
The save double rejects unconditionally. ApplyPatchTool.execute then withdraws current tool observations in finally (src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, Line 256). An incorrectly recorded observation can therefore disappear before this assertion, while the injected error still reaches handleError. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

This save double throws without recording destKey. The empty-registry assertion at Line 1245 therefore passes even if destination cleanup does nothing. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
When a committed token is available, guardedWrite refreshes the observation before saveDirectly reports the buffer conflict (src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, Line 666; src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, Line 1889). Have the double record that committed token before throwing, then assert that the refreshed entry survives. Keep the message and no-unlink assertions. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Refuse undecodable files before recording the observation, as ApplyPatchTool now does.
Line 97 reads with "utf-8", which replaces invalid byte sequences with U+FFFD. The diff is applied to that text. The "edit" save then publishes diffResult.content, so bytes the diff never touched are rewritten as U+FFFD. Line 112 records the version of the original bytes, so the compare-and-swap accepts the save.
This PR gives ApplyPatchTool.readFile a different rule. It decodes with new TextDecoder("utf-8", { fatal: true }) and refuses a publishable read before it records an observation. The lossy write in apply_diff predates this PR. However, the two write tools now treat the same file differently. Read the bytes, decode them with the fatal decoder, and return a tool error before observing.

Check ACL-listing status before asserting access rights.
These calls discard runIcacls(...).code. If a listing fails and its output contains no ACEs, otherUserRightsIn returns []. An error output that includes a path such as C:\Users\alice\... can also satisfy the later account-name assertion for alice. The control listings inspect different objects and do not detect this failure.
Require exit code 0 before parsing each observed ACL listing. Apply the same check to the published-file query at Line 261. Keep capability-probe failures as explicit skips.

Make the backup directory entry durable before replacing the target.
With backup: true on POSIX, this step fsyncs the backup file but not its newly created directory entry. File fsync does not guarantee persistence of that entry. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
If the commit succeeds and Step 4b fails, the retained backup can therefore disappear after a crash. Sync dirPath after completing the backup and before the commit rename. If that sync fails, stop before replacing the target.
Based on learnings: “retaining the old-content backup on this failure path is intentional recovery behavior.” This change preserves that behavior.

Create the staging file beside the resolved publish target.
With no confineTo, a symlink can point from /workspace/config.json to /mnt/data/config.json on another filesystem. Line 422 still creates the staging file in /workspace, but this rename targets /mnt/data. The rename fails with EXDEV, which does not enter the EPERM fallback. The save therefore fails despite stable paths and matching lock keys. Create the staging file beside resolvedTargetPath and align recovery with that location. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep the EPERM fallback on the resolved publish target.
This change redirects only the primary rename. If that rename returns EPERM for a symlink referent, Lines 500–503 still back up and replace absoluteFilePath. The call can report success after replacing the symlink while leaving its referent unchanged. This contradicts the referent-preserving behavior asserted in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, Lines 1294–1310. Use the resolved target for the fallback backup, replacement, and rollback. Add a symlink regression that forces the first rename to return EPERM. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

…indow through reset's own tab closure
Two cancellations joining one teardown: the row at src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts asks
that a caller arriving while a finalization is running wait for it instead of reading the claim.
The case landed earlier reaches finalizeSession with a stand-in callback. This one runs the real
reset(), so the claim is set by the method that sets it and the deferred step is the tab closure
reset() awaits. Measured: at this head the spec reports Tests 176 passed (176); with only the order
of the two checks in finalizeSession reverted it reports 2 failed | 174 passed (176), naming this
case among them.
One src test file and five webview test files also aim cases at 26 of the 54 non-killed mutants
recorded in this lane's held report u148-reports-p1: 24 are killed when the recorded mutation is
applied to the source and the named spec is run; 2 (the format default auto) pass under the
mutation because the switch's default arm answers both spellings.
Nothing outside test paths changed: 1 modified spec and 5 new specs, and the lint prune ran with
src/eslint-suppressions.json restored to its head blob afterwards.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the five webview-ui spec files from this PR, or show in the PR that each
one is required by a guarded-write change. If they come from a stale merge base,
rebase the branch onto the current base so the diff contains only the U7 delta
and its chain predecessors.
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that change the resolved target during the approval
callback, then assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches both save
paths: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: On an outside-workspace
edit, make `realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different
value after it. Assert that `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at
args[8], and that the repointed value does not appear there. 2. WriteToFileTool:
Make `realpath` return different values before and after approval. Assert the
captured value reaches both `saveDirectly` (args[8]) and `saveChanges`
(args[4]). 3. ApplyPatchTool: Add outside-workspace add and update tests that
repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity reaches the
publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and
missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename` (line
878) and refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows it, open
a directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that handle. 2.
Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path, so the approved
canonical directory is the directory that receives the rename. 3. Add an
integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an outside
directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. The test must assert that
the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized directory
changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion at
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts:260`, which follows
a replaced directory to its new target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, catch
block, roughly lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that
issued the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`.
Have `reset()` and `finalizeSession` advance it. Skip
`disposeActiveEditorListener`, `cancelDeferredScroll`, the discard `runTeardown`
pass, and its `closeOwnDiffView` and `restorePreviewTabs` steps when the token
changed or `sessionFinalizationClaimed` is set. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. An alternative is to route the cleanup through
`finalizeSession` or a claim so a finished pass cannot repeat. 2. Make the tool
error handlers' `reset()` calls (for example `src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts`
around lines 38-46 and 211-219) skip or bind to the originating session, so they

`src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`. Hold a
`saveChanges` publish that is still awaiting. Trigger `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Then release the publish so it rejects with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

Forward outside-workspace approval through both save paths.
This remains an ApplyDiffTool instance of the earlier outside-workspace finding. Lines 184-190 classify the target, and both branches call askApproval. However, both save calls stop at "edit" and omit the approval arguments. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
When the user approves an existing file outside every workspace root, guardedWrite still receives no authorization and rejects the write. Capture the canonical target before approval, then forward the approval flag and canonical target through both saves. The DiffViewProvider signatures already support these arguments. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

50-50: Functional Correctness
The reported interleaving does not occur on the assistant-message dispatch path. presentAssistantMessage serializes tool blocks, and apply_diff is awaited before the next block runs (presentAssistantMessage.ts:118, 900, 1174). Another same-task read cannot record an observation during the window that the cleanup at ApplyDiffTool.ts:48-53 relies on. The version-only comparison therefore does not delete a newer observation through that path.
src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts: 2
188-188: Previously reported: preserve stale model observations.
When the model observation is at v1 and the stable hunk read is at v2, this call replaces the baseline with v2. The later "edit" guard can then accept the intervening change without reporting a stale version. The existing stale-observation finding still applies. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
777-777: Previously reported: preserve observation ownership through saveChanges.
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, Lines 617-625, restores the baseline through observe, which creates a new entry. If publication fails before commit, the final cleanup compares that entry with the original tracked entry and leaves it registered. The existing observation-ownership finding still applies.

155-155: The pending-acquisition rollback race is already reported.
Another acquisition can finish directory preparation before this rollback removes the empty parent. That acquisition then loses the directory required for its lock artefact. The existing review comments cover this failure.
src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts: 1
95-95: Delete-target drift is already reported.
If the requested alias changes while deletion waits for the captured key's lock, the callback still deletes the previous referent. The current requested target can remain readable. The existing revalidation comment covers this failure.
src/utils/__tests__/fileLockContention.test.ts: 1
30-30: Failure-path lock cleanup is already reported.
If an assertion fails before release, these cleanup blocks remove the temporary tree without releasing the acquired lock. The existing comment covers tracking and releasing successful acquisitions in both tests.

487-487: Stage beside the resolved publish target.
If a symlink points to another filesystem, Line 422 creates the staging file beside the alias, but this rename targets the referent. The rename fails with EXDEV, so the save fails. This remains the previously reported staging-location defect. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Based on learnings, “write to a temporary file in the SAME directory as the final destination.”
Source: Learnings
487-487: Keep the EPERM fallback on the resolved target.
If this rename returns EPERM, Lines 500–503 back up and replace absoluteFilePath instead. For a file symlink, the fallback can report success after replacing the alias while leaving the referent unchanged. Use the resolved target for fallback publication and rollback. This duplicates the existing finding. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Cover failed re-observation with an existing registry entry.
The stat-failure and mutation cases start with empty registries. They cannot detect a regression that clears or replaces previously earned authority when re-observation fails. Add native and legacy cases with an existing complete observation. Assert that the same entry survives and that the successful read payload is returned. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
As per path instructions, “For code with fallback behavior, verify both the cold-start case (no prior state) and the warm case (prior state exists) are covered.”

Give clipped reads a usable recovery instruction.
If a file contains a line longer than MAX_LINE_LENGTH, native reads remain clipped regardless of offset or limit. Legacy range reads also remain partial. The instruction to “re-read the whole file” therefore cannot authorize a replacement for that file. See ReadFileTool.ts Lines 391 and 849-869. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Keep the rejection, but also direct the caller to a targeted edit when clipping prevents a complete read.

Preserve newer user edits when the guarded save fails.
If the user changes the buffer while guardedWrite() is pending and publication fails, this branch checks only isDirty. It then calls revertDocument() even when the buffer no longer matches the captured editedContent. The workbench command force-reverts the document, so this cleanup discards those newer user edits. This failure occurs before editor activation, unlike the previously reported activation race. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Preserve the buffer when its text has changed, and report the cleanup conflict. The successful-publish path at Line 808 already checks text equality. Add rejected-publish tests for both unchanged and changed buffers. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve EFS encryption before staging an encrypted target.
For an individually EFS-encrypted target in an unencrypted directory, this operation creates unencrypted staging. EFS requires an encrypted parent or an explicit encryption operation; DACL changes do not encrypt content. (learn.microsoft.com)
Node.js 22.23.4 implements rename with MoveFileExW. From these contracts, this path can successfully replace the encrypted target with plaintext, even when DACL capture and restoration succeed. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Apply destination inheritance when publishing a new Windows file.
When the target is absent, Step 2 never sets daclDumpPath. This condition therefore skips ACL reconciliation. The published file retains the account-only staging DACL because Windows does not assign a new default security descriptor on rename. (learn.microsoft.com)
In a shared directory that grants a service account read access, creation succeeds but that account cannot read the new file. Normal creation would inherit the directory’s grants. (learn.microsoft.com)
Keep staging private, but apply the intended destination inheritance for fresh targets. Add an absent-target NTFS regression. This does not require changing best-effort restoration for existing targets.

The dangling-link rejection interpolated the guard's own absolute ancestor into
model-facing text, while every other rejection in the same file names only the
caller's own spelling. Name the link in the caller's spelling instead, and
assert in the spec that the rejection carries no absolute workspace path.
The queue title spec claimed it renders each queued message's text but asserted
only the heading above the queue, so assert the queued text itself.

…n too (U7, Zoo-Code-Org#1375)
The reviewer verified the ancestor fix at 69776b1 and qualified it: a caller that
supplies an absolute displayPath still had that host spelling cut into linkName, so
the rejection message could carry an absolute path even though it no longer carried
the guard's resolved ancestor. An absolute spelling is a host path the same way the
ancestor spelling is, so when the caller spelled it absolutely, keep only the
component the walk stopped at - the caller's own name for the link - and drop the
prefix the way the branch above drops the ancestor it resolved.
The spec now drives the same dangling-link scenario through both spellings and
asserts both directions for each: the link is named in the caller's words, and no
absolute workspace path reaches the message. Relative spellings keep their prefix.

Review comments at @src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:
- Line 50: Capture the observation entry created for partialObservation and,
when rejecting the diff, call forget only if the current observationRegistry
entry is the same object; matching versions alone must not delete a newer
complete-read entry. Add a regression test that records a complete observation
with the same version during approval, rejects the diff, and verifies that the
complete observation remains.
Review comments at @src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:
- Line 676: Update the catch around guardedWrite() so buffer adoption occurs
only for a version conflict after authorization and containment checks succeed,
not for every GuardRejectedError. Preserve rejection behavior when the approved
canonical target changes, even if the replacement target contains matching
encodedContent; add a regression case for that symlink replacement scenario.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Line 878: Carry the createIfAbsent requirement from guardedWrite into the
safeWriteText publication path and use an atomic no-replace operation instead of
fs.rename when publishing create-only writes. Add a regression that creates the
destination after the absence check and verifies the guarded create rejects
while preserving the competing file’s contents.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.test.ts:
- Around line 54-55: Update the lockfile.lock mock in the acquireFileLock test
to assert that the target’s parent directory exists before the mock returns the
release function. Remove or retain the post-completion assertion as appropriate,
but ensure the test detects if directory creation moves after lock acquisition.
Review comments at
@webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/__tests__/BedrockCustomArn.arn-validation.spec.tsx:
- Around line 57-59: Make the mocked useAppTranslation return a stable t
function by creating it once inside the mock factory rather than recreating it
on each hook call. Keep the rerender test able to detect stale validation in
BedrockCustomArn when apiConfiguration changes, using behavior-focused
assertions.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the five webview-ui spec files from this PR. Alternatively, show in the
PR description that each file is required by a guarded-write change. If the
files come from a stale merge base, rebase the branch onto the current base so
the diff contains only the U7 delta and its chain predecessors.
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that change the resolved target during the approval
callback, then assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches both save
paths: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: On an outside-workspace
edit, make `realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different
value after it. Assert that `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at
args[8], and that the repointed value does not appear there. 2. WriteToFileTool:
Make `realpath` return different values before and after approval. Assert the
captured value reaches both `saveDirectly` (args[8]) and `saveChanges`
(args[4]). 3. ApplyPatchTool: Add outside-workspace add and update tests that
repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity reaches the
publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and
missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename` (line
878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows it, open a
directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that handle. 2.
Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path. The approved
canonical directory must be the directory that receives the rename. 3. Add an
integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an outside
directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. The test must assert that
the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized directory
changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion at
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts:260`. That assertion
currently records that a replaced approved directory is followed to its new
target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, `catch`
block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued
the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`. Have
`reset()` and `finalizeSession` advance it. Before running
`disposeActiveEditorListener`, `cancelDeferredScroll`, the discard `runTeardown`
pass, `closeOwnDiffView`, and `restorePreviewTabs`, check that the token is
unchanged and `sessionFinalizationClaimed` is false. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. Alternatively, route the discard cleanup through
`finalizeSession` or a claim so a finished cancellation pass cannot be repeated.
2. Check the tool error handlers' `reset()` calls (for example
`src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts` around lines 38-46 and 211-219). Make them
skip or bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear a newer session.
3. Add a regression test in
`src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`. Hold a
`saveChanges()` publish that is still awaiting. Trigger `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Then make the publish reject with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, the TypeScript safeWriteText API intentionally requires confirmed directory-entry durability for a successful POSIX return. Directory-open or directory-fsync failures, including EINVAL, ENOTSUP, EISDIR, and EPERM, must produce PostCommitDurabilityError after the commit rather than be ignored. The error identifies the target containing the committed content. When backup mode is enabled, retaining the old-content backup on this failure path is intentional recovery behavior; do not recommend deleting it merely because the commit rename succeeded.

Learning: In Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the TypeScript ApplyPatchTool.handleUpdateFile move branch in src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts deliberately rejects destinations outside every workspace root with a tool error. Such destinations must not receive outside-workspace write authorization or undergo destination canonicalizeForApproval before that rejection. Allowed move destinations rely on guardedWrite workspace containment.

Learning: In the TypeScript Windows write path in `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, DACL preservation is intentionally best-effort. `_saveDaclWindows` failure must not prevent publication, because `icacls` can fail on non-NTFS mounts or in permission-restricted environments. `_restoreDaclWindows` failure is non-fatal after commit. Do not require fatal DACL handling or rollback of committed content under this contract.

Learning: In Zoo-Code, DiffViewProvider.open in src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts intentionally records a stat-matched preview observation with complete: false for an unread existing file. The edit guard accepts this partial observation; this policy is documented and asserted. Do not treat that acceptance alone as an unintended authorization bypass. The separate question of whether the preview token is a valid baseline for previously constructed edit content requires a cross-unit maintainer decision.

Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, saveDirectly() treats post-publish buffer reconciliation as a condition for reporting success. closeFileTab() is best-effort and skips dirty tabs. The subsequent workspace.textDocuments lookup and isDirty check independently reject the operation if the dirty buffer survives. Do not treat successful tab closure as this flow's contract or require discarding unsaved user edits merely to report success.

## ESLint Suppressions
### Typed test files
New or substantially changed test files must not add `typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` suppression entries to `src/eslint-suppressions.json`:
- Prefer typed structural doubles: type mock context/proxy classes against the real public types they stand in for (e.g. `vscode.ExtensionContext`), and use `unknown` for storage values and mock callback parameters instead of `any`.
- Access private members with bracket notation (`provider["view"]`) and call public members without casts so their generic signatures keep checking arguments.
- When a partial double cannot be assigned to the real type, cast it once at the construction site (`as unknown as T`) with a comment naming the members the double provides; do not repeat `as any` at every use site.
- Validate with `pnpm --dir src run check-types`, the narrowest affected Vitest suite, and `pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 <relative-test-...

src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts: 1
589-589: Stability & Availability
The reported failure does not occur. Within a Task instance, latches.abort is never reset to false: the reducer sets it to true on abortRequested and disposeRequested, and no transition clears it. A queued guarded write checks task.abort at dequeue and in each publish callback, so a write queued before cancellation is rejected on the same object. A resumed run is a separate state. The cancellation generation counter is a separate fence, and the absence of a read of it in guardedWrite.ts does not by itself create a publish path.
src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts: 2
627-634: The same-path move refusal still permits two absent paths.
If a patch moves a file to the same path and the user deletes that file during approval, both identity lookups return "absent". This condition permits the move. With preventFocusDisruption enabled, the "create" guard can recreate the destination, and Line 739 then deletes that same file.
Reject equal normalized source and destination paths before the identity checks. Retain the identity checks for aliases. Add a case that deletes the source during approval and verifies that neither publication nor unlink occurs.
This is an uncovered boundary of the existing same-path move finding.
760-760: Data Integrity & Integration
The comment's premise fails. Within a task, presentAssistantMessage serializes tool blocks. A read_file that the model issues after apply_patch cannot run during the approval wait, so it cannot record version v2 before the publish. The registry entry seen by guardedWrite remains the v1 hunk-read observation unless another path records an observation, and no other same-task path was found. This leaves the comment's reachability claim unsupported.
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: 2
487-487: Staging and publication still use different destinations.
Line 422 creates the staging file beside absoluteFilePath, but Line 487 publishes to resolvedTargetPath. A symlink whose referent is on another filesystem therefore cannot use this rename. Create staging files beside the resolved target and align recovery with that location.
This repeats the existing staging-location finding.
487-487: The EPERM fallback still replaces the requested alias.
If the primary rename returns EPERM, Lines 500–503 back up and replace absoluteFilePath, not resolvedTargetPath. A symlink write can therefore report success while leaving the referent unchanged and replacing the symlink. Use the resolved target consistently for fallback publication and rollback.
This repeats the existing fallback-target finding.
268-269: The acceptance double still reverses its canonical answer.
On a case-sensitive volume, this double maps upper to lower, then maps lower back to upper. Consequently, the recomputed lock key equals the original key, and the write skips _locksAreOneLock. The acceptance test can pass even if that helper always rejects.
Return one stable canonical spelling and assert that the write performs the lock-artifact comparison. This repeats the existing test-double finding.

Review comments at @src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:
- Line 207: Update the publication flow around verifyTarget and safeWriteText so
the publisher uses the target bound during authorization and cannot follow a
replacement symlink; first establish a safe mechanism supported by the existing
publisher rather than assuming an unavailable API. Add regression coverage for
symlink replacement after both the absence check and the version check,
confirming neither case writes to the symlink referent.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:
- Around line 1433-1434: Update the ordering assertions in the safeWriteText
test to verify that the second fsyncSync invocation occurs after the fs.rename
commit invocation. Keep the assertions that check the distinct descriptors, and
ensure the ordering check rejects directory fsync before rename.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the five webview-ui spec files from this PR. Alternatively, state in the
PR description which guarded-write change requires each file. If the files come
from a stale merge base, rebase onto the current base so the diff contains only
the U7 delta and its chain predecessors.
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that change the resolved target during the approval
callback, then assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches both save
paths: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: On an outside-workspace
edit, make `realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different
value after it. Assert that `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at
args[8], and that the repointed value does not appear there. 2. WriteToFileTool:
Make `realpath` return different values before and after approval. Assert the
captured value reaches both `saveDirectly` (args[8]) and `saveChanges`
(args[4]). 3. ApplyPatchTool: Add outside-workspace add and update tests that
repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity reaches the
publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and
missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent-directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename` (line
878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows it, open a
directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that handle. 2.
Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path. The approved
canonical directory must be the directory that receives the rename. 3. Add an
integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an outside
directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. The test must assert that
the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized directory
changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion at
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts:260` (test "follows
the approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads
it"). That assertion records that a replaced approved directory is followed to
its new target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, `catch`
block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued
the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`. Advance
it in `reset()` and `finalizeSession`. Before `disposeActiveEditorListener`,
`cancelDeferredScroll`, the discard `runTeardown` pass, `closeOwnDiffView`, and
`restorePreviewTabs`, check that the token is unchanged and
`sessionFinalizationClaimed` is false. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. Alternatively, route the discard cleanup through
`finalizeSession` or a claim so a finished cancellation pass cannot repeat. 2.
Check the tool error handlers that call `reset()` (for example
`src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts` lines 38-46 and 211-219). Make them skip or
bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear a newer session. 3. Add a
regression test in `src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`.
Hold a `saveChanges()` publish that is still awaiting. Set `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Then make the publish reject with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, the TypeScript safeWriteText API intentionally requires confirmed directory-entry durability for a successful POSIX return. Directory-open or directory-fsync failures, including EINVAL, ENOTSUP, EISDIR, and EPERM, must produce PostCommitDurabilityError after the commit rather than be ignored. The error identifies the target containing the committed content. When backup mode is enabled, retaining the old-content backup on this failure path is intentional recovery behavior; do not recommend deleting it merely because the commit rename succeeded.

Learning: In the TypeScript Windows write path in `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, DACL preservation is intentionally best-effort. `_saveDaclWindows` failure must not prevent publication, because `icacls` can fail on non-NTFS mounts or in permission-restricted environments. `_restoreDaclWindows` failure is non-fatal after commit. Do not require fatal DACL handling or rollback of committed content under this contract.

Learning: In Zoo-Code, DiffViewProvider.open in src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts intentionally records a stat-matched preview observation with complete: false for an unread existing file. The edit guard accepts this partial observation; this policy is documented and asserted. Do not treat that acceptance alone as an unintended authorization bypass. The separate question of whether the preview token is a valid baseline for previously constructed edit content requires a cross-unit maintainer decision.

Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, saveDirectly() treats post-publish buffer reconciliation as a condition for reporting success. closeFileTab() is best-effort and skips dirty tabs. The subsequent workspace.textDocuments lookup and isDirty check independently reject the operation if the dirty buffer survives. Do not treat successful tab closure as this flow's contract or require discarding unsaved user edits merely to report success.

Additional comments: 24
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts: 2
725-725: The previously reported zero-progress loop remains.
If writeSync returns zero repeatedly, offset never advances and the synchronous loop blocks the extension host. The existing finding still applies. Reject a zero-byte result before updating offset.
904-904: The previously reported committed-token attribution issue remains.
If another process replaces the target before this stat, computeVersionToken can return the replacement’s token. src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, Lines 675–697, accepts that string as the published observation. The string check does not establish which file produced the token.
The existing finding still applies. Bind the token to the committed file, or require a fresh read when that identity cannot be verified.
268-269: The acceptance fixture still bypasses the artefact comparison.
On a case-sensitive volume, this double maps upper to lower, then maps lower back to upper. The recomputed lock key therefore equals the acquired key. The write can pass without calling _locksAreOneLock.
Return a stable canonical name after acquisition. Assert that the write performs the artefact comparison. This remains covered by the previous review comment.
383-390: The pending-lock test still depends on a timing window.
The test resolves acquisition immediately after starting the write. The mock then uses a 25 ms delay before taking the directory snapshot. An implementation that skips awaiting acquisition can pass if staging runs after that snapshot.
Keep acquisition pending and use explicit barriers to establish ordering. This remains covered by the previous review comments.
302-307: This test still requires publication after the held lock moves away.
The fixture moves the directory that contains the acquired lock and redirects the pathname to elsewhere. These assertions require successful publication in elsewhere, where this write holds no corresponding lock.
This is the previously reported test-contract concern tracked with the directory-identity work. A fix that rejects this ordering will require changing this expectation.
src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts: 1
313-314: The failure tests still do not prove that staging was never opened.
_streamDataToFile now calls openSync before createWriteStream. These assertions can pass if staging opens before the target-mode stat fails.
Also assert that no staging openSync call occurs. This is the remaining assertion requested in the previous review thread.
src/utils/fileLock.ts: 1
47-47: Drive-root lock acquisition still fails before the lock call.
For a target directly beneath a Windows drive root, this call attempts recursive mkdir on the root. Node 22.23.4 documents that this operation fails with EPERM. Skip preparation when the parent is a filesystem root. This remains covered by the accepted previous finding. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts: 1
95-95: Deletion still leaves requested-path backups behind.
When the requested path is an alias, the callback receives only the resolved referent. Its leftover scan therefore excludes backups named for the requested path. A later requested-path recovery can restore stale content after deletion.
Coordinate cleanup of both leftover locations under the appropriate locks. This remains covered by the previous review comments.
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: 3
487-487: Staging and publication still use different filesystem locations.
For a symlink whose referent is on another filesystem, staging remains beside absoluteFilePath at Line 422. This rename publishes to resolvedTargetPath. A cross-filesystem rename can fail with EXDEV, which does not enter the EPERM fallback.
Create staging beside the resolved publish target and align recovery with that location. This remains covered by the previous review comment.
487-487: The EPERM fallback still publishes to the requested alias.
If this rename returns EPERM, Lines 500-503 back up and replace absoluteFilePath, not resolvedTargetPath. The operation can report success after replacing the symlink while leaving its referent unchanged.
Use the resolved target consistently for fallback backup, replacement, and rollback. Add the forced-EPERM symlink regression requested in the previous review.
387-387: The lock comparison still lacks the acquired artefact's identity.
If the acquired lock directory moves aside and another directory replaces it at the same pathname, both current artefact lookups can reach a peer's lock. Matching those lookups does not prove that this write holds that lock.
Bind the comparison to the artefact acquired by this operation. This remains covered by the previous lock-identity thread.
58-59: Keep translator stability in the existing review thread.
The mock still creates a new t function for each hook call. The existing comment already requests a stable translator so the rerender test isolates configuration changes.
As per path instructions, require “regression coverage at the lowest valid harness with behavior-focused assertions.”
138-140: Keep credential acceptance coverage in the existing review thread.
The matrix still contains only rejection configurations. The existing comment already requests valid configurations and successful return-value assertions for these providers.
As per path instructions, “require tests for both the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point.”
21-24: The common message still misstates some committed-write outcomes.
A failed reconciliation can leave matching dirty content. A committed cancellation can leave no dirty buffer. Both receive the statement that differing unsaved edits remain. This is the previously reported message-generalization issue.
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts: 7
651-655: Observation restoration still replaces the cleanup-owned entry.
observe() replaces the entry object even when its values are unchanged. This remains the previously reported conflict with ApplyPatchTool cleanup by object identity after a pre-commit failure.
667-667: The commit marker still follows completion of guardedWrite().
Cancellation does not wait for the in-flight publication. revertChanges() snapshots the marker before entering teardown. The previously reported publication-to-marker window therefore remains. A rejected post-commit durability operation also skips this assignment.
676-688: Adoption still accepts authorization rejections.
The condition accepts any GuardRejectedError, except the stated unobserved-edit case. If an approved alias changes targets and the replacement contains matching bytes, adoption can convert the identity rejection into success. This is the existing approval-identity finding.
690-692: Successful adoption still leaves the commit marker unset.
This branch continues into normal save processing without assigning committedPublish. A later cancellation can therefore take the uncommitted restore or unlink branch. This is the previously reported autosave-adoption finding.
714-715: Rejected-save cleanup still reverts newer user edits.
If the buffer changes while publication is pending, this branch checks only isDirty before reverting. Unlike the successful-save branch at Line 808, it does not compare the buffer with editedContent. This duplicates the existing rejected-publication data-loss finding.
1089-1098: Uncommitted create cancellation still bypasses placeholder ownership checks.
This path saves a dirty document and then unlinks the target without the placeholder-token check used by rejected-save cleanup. It also ignores the save result. These behaviors remain covered by the existing placeholder-cleanup and failed-save threads.
2014-2014: A reopen failure still loses committed-write guidance.
If reopening rejects after publication, its error escapes before the committed-write conflict is constructed. The same exposure exists at Line 819. This duplicates the existing request to preserve committed-state and no-retry guidance for reopen failures.

Prevent the publisher from resolving a replacement link after authorization.
If boundTarget becomes a symlink after verifyTarget() returns, safeWriteText(boundTarget, content) resolves that symlink again. The primitive then publishes to the new referent, not the authorized target. Its initial resolution has no expected-target argument to detect this change. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
For example, replace an absent workspace target with a symlink to an outside file after fs.access reports ENOENT. The create path can then overwrite that outside file without outside-workspace approval. The held advisory lock does not prevent a symlink replacement.
Carry the authorization-bound target into the publisher and prevent replacement links from redirecting publication. Add regression cases that replace the target after the absence check and after the version check.

Review comment at @src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts at line 207:
Update the publication flow around verifyTarget and safeWriteText so the publisher uses the target bound during authorization and cannot follow a replacement symlink; first establish a safe mechanism supported by the existing publisher rather than assuming an unavailable API. Add regression coverage for symlink replacement after both the absence check and the version check, confirming neither case writes to the symlink referent.

Disposition at 932c9a4, no change here. The carried-target half is already the code: src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:197 const boundTarget = (await verifyTarget?.()) ?? absolutePath, and the publish goes through that value at :207 and again on the version-match branch at :294. The replacement-link half is answered by the publisher's own words rather than by an API I would have to invent: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:856-863 - "The rename publishes whatever the staging path names at the moment it runs ... The window between this look and the rename is narrowed, not closed: a rename has no handle to go through, so this is the last look, not a lock" - and SafeWriteTextOptions (:9-48) gives resolvePublishTarget (:328-343) no expected target to compare against. Which mechanism may close that window is the contract thread 63SXaT leaves unsigned, so this stays open: nothing resolved, no verdict asked.

@easonLiangWorldedtech You’re right: both guard branches already pass boundTarget to safeWriteText. My request to carry the target into the publisher was imprecise.
The quoted rename comment concerns the staging path. The target re-resolution in this finding occurs earlier, at safeWriteText.ts Line 502. I’m not marking the finding as addressed.
📝 Learnings were not changed: only organization members or users with write access to this repository can add or remove learnings.
Compare the observation entry, not only its token, before a failure exit revokes it:
a concurrent complete read can record this very version, and forgetting that entry took
away authority the failing call never held.
Pin the order the POSIX directory-fsync test already claims in its title: the second
fsync must land after the commit rename, not merely after the first fsync on a distinct
descriptor.
Check the lock directory from inside the lock mock, so the row cannot pass with the
creation moved to after the lock.
Build the mocked translator once inside its factory, so only the ARN memo's own
dependencies can change what validation sees.
Legs run before this commit: src vitest 160 passed over 6 files (safeWriteText, fileLock,
applyDiffTool*, observationRegistry); webview-ui vitest 2 passed; eslint on the five
touched files printed nothing under --max-warnings=0. An inverted copy of the ordering
assertion failed with 'expected 993 to be less than 991', so the new comparison is
order-sensitive rather than vacuous.

which guarded-write change requires each file. If the files come from a stale
merge base, rebase onto the current base so that the diff contains only the U7
delta and its chain predecessors.
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that change the resolved target during the approval
callback, then assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches both save
paths: 1. EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: on an outside-workspace
edit, make `realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different
value after it. Assert that `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at
args[8] and that the repointed value does not appear there. 2. WriteToFileTool:
make `realpath` return different values before and after approval. Assert the
captured value reaches both `saveDirectly` (args[8]) and `saveChanges`
(args[4]). 3. ApplyPatchTool: add outside-workspace add and update tests that
repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity reaches the
publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and
missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent-directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename`
(around line 878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows
it, open a directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that
handle. 2. Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path. The
approved canonical directory must be the directory that receives the rename. 3.
Add an integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an
outside directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. The test must
assert that the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized
directory changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion in
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts` (test "follows the
approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads it",
around line 260). That assertion records that a replaced approved directory is
followed to its new target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, catch
block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued
the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`. Advance
it in `reset()` and `finalizeSession`. Before `disposeActiveEditorListener`,
`cancelDeferredScroll`, the discard `runTeardown` pass, `closeOwnDiffView`, and
`restorePreviewTabs`, check that the token is unchanged and
`sessionFinalizationClaimed` is false. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. Alternatively, route the discard cleanup through
`finalizeSession` or a claim so a finished cancellation pass cannot repeat. 2.
Check the tool error handlers that call `reset()` (for example
`src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts`, catch blocks near lines 38-46 and 211-219).
Make them skip or bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear a newer
session. 3. Add a regression test in
`src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`. Hold a
`saveChanges()` publish that is still awaiting. Set `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Then make the publish reject with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, the TypeScript safeWriteText API intentionally requires confirmed directory-entry durability for a successful POSIX return. Directory-open or directory-fsync failures, including EINVAL, ENOTSUP, EISDIR, and EPERM, must produce PostCommitDurabilityError after the commit rather than be ignored. The error identifies the target containing the committed content. When backup mode is enabled, retaining the old-content backup on this failure path is intentional recovery behavior; do not recommend deleting it merely because the commit rename succeeded.

Learning: In Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the TypeScript ApplyPatchTool.handleUpdateFile move branch in src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts deliberately rejects destinations outside every workspace root with a tool error. Such destinations must not receive outside-workspace write authorization or undergo destination canonicalizeForApproval before that rejection. Allowed move destinations rely on guardedWrite workspace containment.

Do not require fatal DACL handling or rollback of committed content under this contract.

## ESLint Suppressions
### Typed test files
New or substantially changed test files must not add `typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` suppression entries to `src/eslint-suppressions.json`:
- Prefer typed structural doubles: type mock context/proxy classes against the real public types they stand in for (e.g. `vscode.ExtensionContext`), and use `unknown` for storage values and mock callback parameters instead of `any`.
- Access private members with bracket notation (`provider["view"]`) and call public members without casts so their generic signatures keep checking arguments.
- When a partial double cannot be assigned to the real type, cast it once at the construction site (`as unknown as T`) with a comment naming the members the double provides; do not repeat `as any` at every use site.
- Validate with `pnpm --dir src run check-types`, the narrowest affected Vitest suite, and `pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 <relative-test-...

Run the partial-observation cleanup tests against a real ObservationRegistry, so the
entry the failure exit decides about is the object the registry actually stored: a
stand-in that builds a fresh object on every lookup cannot show ownership at all, and
the two rows that name a concurrent read could only assert on doubles. A concurrent
complete read that records this very version keeps its entry, the entry this call
created is still forgotten while it is the recorded one, and a partial concurrent read
behind the same version is forgotten too - that is where matching fields and ownership
part company, recorded as production behaves it, with no production line moved.
Add the ARN the settings row says is missing: the Bedrock spec now rerenders the same
tree with a matching ARN after the mismatch, asserts the region warning is gone, that
the format error is still absent, and that the input carries the new ARN.
Add the accept path the provider-validation row pins at the line it names: a model
that is in the fetched routerModels list earns no error from getModelValidationError,
beside the rejection case that was already there.
Legs run before this commit, each transcript under .tmp-cr-audit/_scratch/u181: the src
core vitest leg on applyDiffTool.failureReporting printed 37 tests passed in 1 file
before the change and 38 in 1 file after; the Bedrock ARN spec printed 2 before and 3
after; validate.provider-validation printed 18 before and 19 after. Each new assertion
was inverted once: flipping the keep case's forget expectation failed that test with
'expected forget to be called at least once'; asking for the regionMismatch text after
the matching rerender failed it with TestingLibraryElementError, unable to find
/regionMismatch/; asking the accept path to be defined failed with 'expected undefined
to be defined'. Every file was written back to the digest its passing run used.
The first push attempt was stopped by the pre-push hook: its check-types leg reported
TS2540 on assigning the installed registry to the read-only Task property. The case now
holds a mutable view of the double for that one assignment, src tsc --noEmit is silent,
and the root check-types leg finished 12 successful, 12 total; the src vitest leg was
run again on the fixed file and printed 38 passed in 1 file, and the inverted keep-case
expectation failed it again before the file was written back.
prettier 3.9.10 --check passes on all three files. eslint under --max-warnings=0 printed
nothing on each, and an injected unused variable made the same command fail on the same
file, so those legs read the files instead of ignoring them.
src/eslint-suppressions.json stayed 30910 B, byte identical to its head blob: no count
moved, no suppression was added, and the --prune-suppressions line-ending rewrite it
made was written back from that blob.

- Around line 563-565: Update the test around observeForReal and the
diff-strategy callback so the tool captures its owned entry before the callback
installs the concurrent registry entry. For both complete and partial reads,
assert that cleanup preserves the exact concurrent entry; remove the

cover the long line in both positions, using it.each for long-first and
long-after-short cases. Assert hasClippedLines and the formatted content in each
case so clipping is detected regardless of line order.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the five unrelated webview-ui spec files from this PR. If their changes
are required by a guarded-write change, state in the PR description which change
requires each file and why. If the files come from a stale merge base, rebase
onto the current base so the diff contains only the U7 delta and its chain
predecessors. Also reconcile the merge base named in the PR description (main at
e943530c8) with the merge base recorded in the review metadata (d76dffa86).
- Regression Evidence:
Add tool-layer tests that repoint the target during the approval callback, then
assert the pre-approval canonical identity reaches each save path: 1.
EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool: in an outside-workspace edit, make
`realpath` return one value before `askApproval` and a different value after it.
Assert `saveDirectly` receives the pre-approval value at args[8] and not the
repointed value. 2. WriteToFileTool: make `realpath` return different values
before and after approval. Assert the captured value reaches both `saveDirectly`
(args[8]) and `saveChanges` (args[4]). The current constant-`realpath` tests do
not prove capture order. 3. ApplyPatchTool: add outside-workspace add and update
tests that repoint the target during approval. Assert the captured identity
reaches the publish path for each. Keep the existing guard-level identity and
missing-capture tests in `guardedWrite.spec.ts`.
- Security Boundaries:
1. In `src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts`, pin the parent-directory
identity for the publish. Take a bigint `fs.stat` of the authorized directory at
the containment decision. Compare it again immediately before `fs.rename`
(around line 878). Refuse the publish on any mismatch. Where the platform allows
it, open a directory handle at verification time and publish relative to that
handle. 2. Apply the same pin to the approved outside-workspace path. The
approved canonical directory must be the directory that receives the rename. 3.
Add an integration test that replaces a parent directory with a symlink to an
outside directory after `verifyTarget` and before the rename. The test must
assert that the publish is refused and that no file outside the authorized
directory changes. 4. Invert or remove the assertion in
`src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts` (test "follows the
approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads it",
around lines 260–273). That assertion records that a replaced approved directory
is followed to its new target.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
1. In `saveChanges()` (`src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, catch
block around lines 668-774), bind the discard cleanup to the session that issued
the write. Capture a session token or generation before `guardedWrite`. Advance
it in `reset()` and `finalizeSession`. Before `disposeActiveEditorListener`,
`cancelDeferredScroll`, the discard `runTeardown` pass, `closeOwnDiffView`, and
`restorePreviewTabs`, check that the token is unchanged and
`sessionFinalizationClaimed` is false. Then rethrow the original
`GuardRejectedError`. Alternatively, route the discard cleanup through
`finalizeSession` or a claim so a finished cancellation pass cannot repeat. 2.
Check the tool error handlers that call `reset()` (for example
`src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts`, catch blocks near lines 38-46 and 211-219).
Make them skip or bind to the originating session, so they cannot clear a newer
session. 3. Add a regression test in
`src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts`. Hold a
`saveChanges()` publish that is still awaiting. Set `task.abort` and run
`revertChanges()` to completion. Then make the publish reject with
`GuardRejectedError`. Assert that no second `closeOwnDiffView`,
`restorePreviewTabs`, or listener disposal runs after the cancellation pass.
Assert that the original guard error is still thrown.

## 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.

## ESLint Suppressions
### Typed test files
New or substantially changed test files must not add `typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` suppression entries to `src/eslint-suppressions.json`:
- Prefer typed structural doubles: type mock context/proxy classes against the real public types they stand in for (e.g. `vscode.ExtensionContext`), and use `unknown` for storage values and mock callback parameters instead of `any`.
- Access private members with bracket notation (`provider["view"]`) and call public members without casts so their generic signatures keep checking arguments.
- When a partial double cannot be assigned to the real type, cast it once at the construction site (`as unknown as T`) with a comment naming the members the double provides; do not repeat `as any` at every use site.
- Validate with `pnpm --dir src run check-types`, the narrowest affected Vitest suite, and `pnpm --dir src exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 <relative-test-...

Additional comments: 15
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts: 1
596-596: Stability & Availability
The concern does not hold in the current code. A cancelled Task instance keeps abort set to true. The reducer has no transition that clears it, and Task.ts never reassigns runState to the initial state. A write queued before cancellation therefore still sees task.abort === true at dequeue and at each publish callback, so it is rejected.
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts: 4
651-655: The observation-identity finding remains present.
observe() replaces the registry entry even when its values have not changed. This breaks cleanup that owns the original entry by object identity. Preserve the existing entry when restoring identical values. The existing observation-identity thread covers this mechanism.
676-688: The approval-rejection adoption finding remains present.
This branch accepts any GuardRejectedError. If an approved alias changes targets, matching bytes at the replacement target can convert the approval-identity rejection into success. Restrict adoption to an authorized version-conflict outcome. The existing approval-identity thread covers this mechanism.
690-691: The adopted-publication marker finding remains present.
Successful adoption does not set committedPublish. A later cancellation therefore takes the uncommitted rollback branch, which can unlink an adopted create or restore an adopted modify. Record the adopted publication before continuing. The existing autosave-adoption thread covers this mechanism.
714-715: The rejected-save buffer-preservation finding remains present.
If the buffer changes while publication is pending, this cleanup still calls revertDocument() based only on isDirty. Unlike the successful-publication branch, it does not check whether the buffer still equals editedContent. Preserve newer edits instead of discarding them. The existing rejected-publication thread covers this mechanism.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts: 4
502-502: The previously reported target-resolution race remains.
If another process replaces the authorized canonical path with an outside-workspace symlink before this call, resolvePublishTarget selects the outside target. Passing a canonical pathname does not prevent replacement of that pathname. The existing target-binding thread still applies.
652-656: The previously reported Windows staging exposure remains on restriction failure.
If staging DACL restriction fails, this branch reports a warning and continues to write content under inherited permissions. The reset-and-retry branch at Line 710 also restores inherited permissions before staging. The existing staging-confidentiality thread covers both paths.
725-725: The previously reported zero-progress loop remains.
If writeSync repeatedly returns zero, offset does not advance. The synchronous loop blocks the extension host and never reaches descriptor closure or cleanup. The existing zero-progress thread still applies.
904-904: The previously reported committed-token attribution race remains.
If another process replaces the target after publication, this pathname stat can return the replacement’s token. It does not establish that the token identifies this operation’s committed content. The existing token-binding thread still applies.
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: 2
487-487: Keep the fallback on the resolved publish target.
The existing finding remains applicable. If the primary rename returns EPERM, Lines 500–503 back up and replace absoluteFilePath, not resolvedTargetPath. For a symlink input, the call can succeed after replacing the symlink while leaving the referent unchanged. Use the resolved target for backup, replacement, and rollback. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
487-487: Stage beside the resolved publish target.
The existing cross-filesystem finding remains applicable. Line 422 creates the staging file beside absoluteFilePath. This rename publishes to resolvedTargetPath. If a symlink points to another filesystem, the save fails with EXDEV; only EPERM enters the fallback. Derive staging and recovery paths from the resolved destination. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
The matrix still supplies only incomplete configurations. A validator that always returns each expected error would pass. Pair these rows with valid configurations and assert undefined.
This repeats the existing review finding. As per path instructions, require “tests for both the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point.”

Replace the observation after the tool captures its owned entry.
The spy replaces entry A with entry B before the tool's observe() call returns. Since observe() returns void, a subsequent ownership capture through get() receives B, not A. This does not test a concurrent read that replaces an entry already owned by the tool.
Move the replacement into the diff-strategy callback, after the tool records its observation. Assert that cleanup preserves the exact concurrent entry for both complete and partial reads. The assertion at Line 628 currently requires deletion of the independent partial read.
As per path instructions, require “behavior-focused assertions” and “deterministic async behavior.”

Review comment at @src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts around lines 563 - 565:
Update the test around observeForReal and the diff-strategy callback so the tool captures its owned entry before the callback installs the concurrent registry entry. For both complete and partial reads, assert that cleanup preserves the exact concurrent entry; remove the partial-read assertion that expects deletion of that independent entry.

Both clipping-positive fixtures put the long line first. Replacing selectedLines.some(...) in indentation-reader.ts Line 400 with a first-line-only check would still pass these tests. That regression would let ReadFileTool mark a clipped view as complete.
Use it.each with the long line in both positions. Assert hasClippedLines and the formatted content.

This PR routes the remaining write tools -
apply_diff,write_to_file,edit,edit_file,search_replace- through the same guard, so after this unit no tool path can clobber a file the model never read: an unearned write fails with the re-read remediation instead of overwriting. A write outside every workspace root is no longer an outright rejection: the tool layer classifies against all workspace folders, asks the user, and forwards the approval to the guard, which re-checks containment against the approved roots before publishing.It is the seventh of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).

Description
What this PR changes:
apply_diff,write_to_file,edit,edit_fileandsearch_replaceall save throughDiffViewProvider.saveDirectly()/guardedWrite()with an explicit write kind, so a targeted edit is never treated as a full-file replacement.fs.statpair and observe the file only when both tokens match, so the publish is authorized by the exact bytes the tool computed its hunks from; a stat failure leaves the file unobserved and never fails the read.approvedCanonicalTarget); the guard only compares and refuses when the capture is missing.Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on

The carried copy already re-checks the target under the lock immediately before the publish; the full directory-identity pinning is U5's (feat(tools): guarded write core under the shared lock (U5, #1375) #1914) content and merges before this unit in the declared order.DiffViewProvider/guardedWritecopies predate U8's (feat(editor): route the diff-view save through the guard (U8, #1375) #1916) cancellation ordering and landed-token reconciliation; the rows resolve at merge time because U5 and U8 merge before U7 in the declared order and the diff shrinks to U7's own wiring.Get in Touch

Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
"update"->""): an empty kinddispatches exactly like
"update"inside guardedWrite - only"edit"and
"create"branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line isnot part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
GuardRejectedErroris only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reachedonly after the
!saveTaskcheck above has already thrown. Wheneverthe operand is evaluated
saveTaskis provably non-null, so droppingthe operand cannot change which branch is taken.
mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.
Re-review round (41c0295)
open()records the token its preview wrote;
reset()(reached by every tool catchand by
revertChangesviafinalizeSession) forgets the entry while itstill holds that token and the preview's incomplete flag - publishes and
model reads survive. Trigger-sequence test + two survival tests; three
negative controls, each exactly one red.
^Stale version -- the file changed) + deduplicated repeated assertion.Ownership-based withdrawal port (14f8634)
The sibling unit's follow-up thread found the content-based withdrawal
could delete a model partial read recorded while the diff was open
(same token, same incomplete flag). The copy this unit owns carried the
identical flaw and is fixed identically:
open()keeps the exact entryobject its
observe()wrote;reset()forgets only while the registrystill stores that object. Regression test ported; NCs each exactly one
red. 153/153 green.
Open document reconciled after the guarded publish (f5fddf6)
The Persistence Integrity row:
saveDirectly()commits throughguardedWrite(), which writes the bytes to disk directly, and the diffremoved the awaited
document.save()that used to follow the publish -leaving an already-open target document holding its pre-publish buffer.
A dirty buffer there is a live hazard: VS Code's ordinary save path
would republish those stale bytes over what the guard committed.
saveDirectlynow reconciles the open document before returning -reverting reloads the published bytes and clears the dirty flag - so no
open buffer is left whose text differs from the publish; reverting a
document that already matches the disk is a no-op, and the memory-only
path still never saves the buffer over the publish. Regression test: an
already-open dirty target document is reverted (not saved) by the time
saveDirectlyresolves; negative control: removing the reconcilereddens exactly that test. 154/154 green (240/240 across the guarded
write and tool suites) at this head.
Fail-safe reconcile (c198c2e)
The 04:29Z Persistence Integrity row implemented in full:
saveDirectly()requires successful reconciliation after the guarded publish. IfrevertDocument()returns false or throws, the tab is closed and the document reopened from disk; if the reopened buffer is still dirty the write fails instead of reporting success, and the diagnostics/open path does not run while the target is dirty. Test: revert command rejects and buffer stays dirty ->saveDirectly()rejects, tab closed and reopened from disk (a later save reads the published bytes), stale buffer's own save never runs. Two negative controls (bare revert; tolerate dirty reopen) each redden exactly that test. 155/155 green.The Security Boundaries TOCTOU row remains the registered check-then-resolve family (lands once at the publish-primitive owner; precedent record 6106959976, issue #1408).
Staging-directory drift guard fix (64dc74c)
platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest)was red at 40ac71f on exactly one case:core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts > 'finalizePartialToolAsk still updates the webview when a later save stage fails'(expected "updateClineMessage" to be called with arguments, Number of calls: 0). Measured with a probe on every realpath call in that window that printed the path it received and its outcome, plusfs.statSyncof the same path at the same instant through the never-mocked fs: not one realpath returned ENOENT for the directory - the guard's first walk and both lock-key canonicalizations resolved it, four times, to inode 22517998136858990, and the only ENOENTs were onui_messages.jsonitself, the target file that genuinely is not there. The guard's ownawait fs.stat(approvedCanonical)reported ENOENT for a directory the unmocked fs reported as that same inode, becauseTask.spec.ts:144mocksfs/promiseswithstat: vi.fn().mockRejectedValue({ code: "ENOENT" })for every path, and it rejected before the second walk, so the drift comparison never happened. The guard was failing on a question it invented, and the only reason our own lane never caught it is that the suite driving this write path mocks stat to fail for every path.The guard now acts on a single signal: the re-resolution of the approved directory succeeds and lands on a different directory. A probe that cannot answer is not an answer - ENOENT because a component is mid-replacement or because the caller's fs reports the path as missing, EACCES, EPERM, ELOOP - so the write proceeds; the existence probe is gone, and a directory that really is deleted now fails at the staging write itself, still fail-closed with nothing created outside the directory the write was approved for. Confinement keeps the opposite rule on purpose: there the guard has to prove containment, and a probe that cannot answer cannot prove anything. Controls: reverting the fix reddens exactly the two new cannot-answer cases - one of them a unit-scale twin of the CI failure that also asserts the fixed path makes zero
fs.statcalls - and reddens the CI case inTask.spec.tsand only it (1 failed | 198 passed); restoring it is green (5 files, 306 passed | 4 skipped) and byte-identical by SHA256. Cross-checked against a scratch merge of this branch's head with upstream/main 6bbc7a0: the CI case is red there without this commit and green with it.Known property, deliberately not fixed in this PR: if the approved directory is replaced before the guard's first reading, both readings agree and no layer rejects the write - measured byte-for-byte identical before and after this change (the payload publishes at wherever the approved pathname now points, with no staged file left in either spelling and only the advisory lock directory travelling with the renamed directory). The consequence is that the file can be published into a directory the writer's advisory lock does not name. Closing that means
safeWriteTextbinding the publish destination to the directory its own advisory lock names, which is a design change in the publish path that #1916'sguardedWritelayer builds on, so it is registered as a follow-up unit rather than folded into a green-lane fix. It is recorded bysafeWriteJson.stagingDirectory.spec.ts > 'follows the approved pathname when the directory is replaced before the guard reads it', which assertsreadings === 3so a change in the canonicalization order fails loudly.Review round r112 fixes (52628eb)

rt4475729779found one non-publishing exit the first cut left open: a move publishes the destination, then a failedfs.unlinkof the source is logged and tolerated, so the source stays on disk with its original bytes while its tracking entry had already been dropped - the tool-owned partial observation survived as authority for a lateredit.
