[Fix] apply_diff auto-approves edits outside the workspace - #2343
I commented "Claiming" on the issue. Maintainer assignment is pending.
Description
apply_diff did not set isOutsideWorkspace in its approval payload. checkAutoApproval reads a missing value as false. So with alwaysAllowWrite on, auto-approval approved diffs to files outside the workspace. This occurred even when alwaysAllowWriteOutsideWorkspace was off and no allowedWriteFiles pattern matched the path. write_to_file and edit asked for approval in the same situation.
This PR computes isPathOutsideWorkspace(absolutePath) in ApplyDiffTool and adds it to the payload. It uses the same pattern as EditTool and WriteToFileTool. The change covers two places:
execute: the approval payload. Both the diff-view path and the preventFocusDisruption path use this payload.
handlePartial: the streaming preview payload.
The auto-approval logic does not change.
Test Procedure
New spec: src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts
The approval payload reports isOutsideWorkspace for a file inside and a file outside the workspace, on the diff-view path and on the preventFocusDisruption path.
The partial preview payload reports isOutsideWorkspace for both cases.
The payload goes through checkAutoApproval with alwaysAllowWrite: true:
Outside the workspace, alwaysAllowWriteOutsideWorkspace: false: ask.
Outside the workspace, alwaysAllowWriteOutsideWorkspace: true: approve.
Inside the workspace: approve.
I ran the new spec without the fix. 7 of 9 tests failed, including the "outside the workspace asks" case. The 2 approve cases passed, as expected.
applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts now mocks isPathOutsideWorkspace. Its vscode mock has no workspace export, and the tool now calls the check.
Commands (from src):
npx vitest run core/tools core/auto-approval core/assistant-message # 56 files, 1096 tests pass
pnpm run check-types # pass
pnpm exec eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 <changed files> # pass, no suppression change

Documentation Impact: I checked if my changes need documentation updates (see "Documentation Updates" section below).
apply_diff did not set isOutsideWorkspace in its approval payload.
Auto-approval read the missing value as inside the workspace, so with
alwaysAllowWrite on it approved diffs to files outside the workspace
even when alwaysAllowWriteOutsideWorkspace was off.
Compute the flag in execute and handlePartial, as write_to_file and
edit already do.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Applied-diff approval messages and previews now indicate when a file is outside the workspace. Outside-workspace files require approval unless that option is enabled.
ApplyDiffTool now marks completed and partial applied-diff messages with whether the resolved target path is outside the workspace. Tests cover reported flags and auto-approval decisions under outside-workspace settings.
Changes: Outside-workspace diff approval

Summary
Report and verify diff workspace status src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts
Completed and partial applied-diff messages include the outside-workspace status of the resolved path. Tests check the status for inside and outside paths, and verify auto-approval outcomes when outside-workspace writes are allowed or disallowed.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1918: Routes apply_diff saves through guardedWrite, which requires approval data for outside-workspace targets.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1917: Passes outside-workspace approval and a captured canonical target from ApplyDiffTool to guarded saves.

- Around line 1-196: Add a relative-traversal test to the ApplyDiffTool
isOutsideWorkspace suite that exercises the real isPathOutsideWorkspace check
with a mocked workspace folder and a ../ path resolving outside it, rather than
relying on the mocked return value in runExecute. Assert the approval payload
marks isOutsideWorkspace true and checkAutoApproval returns ask when outside
writes are disabled and no allowlist entry matches.
Review comments at @src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:
- Line 142: Update the path validation around isPathOutsideWorkspace so it
checks the effective destination after resolving symlinks, not only absolutePath
lexically. Use the project’s established path-resolution mechanism and ensure
writes through workspace symlinks to outside targets are classified as outside
and still require approval when preventFocusDisruption and alwaysAllowWrite are
enabled.

Run isPathOutsideWorkspace against a mocked workspace folder. A ../ path
that resolves outside the workspace sets isOutsideWorkspace and asks for
approval. A path inside the workspace is still auto-approved.

Conflict resolution keeps both sides of the apply_diff work instead of dropping
either one:
- main's 1b9cb7d ([Fix] apply_diff auto-approves edits outside the workspace,
Zoo-Code-Org#2343) is kept in full: isOutsideWorkspace is computed in execute and in
handlePartial and carried in both approval payloads.
- this branch's failure-reporting work is kept in full: formatFailedParts and
truncate, the detailed-failure budgets, the stat-around-read observation
authorization, and the guarded-save approval plumbing (approvedCanonicalTarget
plus the isOutsideWorkspace argument to saveDirectly and saveChanges).
- git's auto-merge emitted the isOutsideWorkspace declaration twice in execute
(main's bare line plus this branch's documented line, textually identical, same
scope) and the file would not parse. The duplicate line is removed and the
documented one kept; the merged file typechecks clean and its specs load.
- applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts: the fs/promises double exposes realpath
as a named export as well as on the default object (the shape
writeToFileTool.spec.ts and editTool.spec.ts use), because the merged tool
canonicalizes an outside-workspace approval target through guardedWrite, which
reaches realpath through a namespace import. Without it canonicalizeForApproval
threw the guard's "Path could not be resolved" refusal, the tool catch routed
it to handleError, and askApproval was never reached - that was the cause of the
five red rows, measured, not assumed. Setup only: no assertion was changed,
moved or deleted. The stat double added for the read-around authorization is
load-bearing the same way (dropping it re-reds nine rows).
- guardedWrite.spec.ts: the Task double exposes abort as a getter over an
abortState holder, because main's Task.ts:3587 exposes abort as an accessor;
the two mid-flight abort flips drive abortState.abort instead of assigning a
read-only property (TS2540 at :1218 and :1234). Same shape as the fws/u6 and
fws/u8 branches, so the three units carry one fix.
Measured on this tree with pinned node v22.23.4: vitest core/tools/__tests__ +
core/task/__tests__ + core/task-persistence/__tests__ -> 81 files, 1671 passed,
5 skipped, exit 0; tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json -> exit 0, 0 error lines;
eslint --max-warnings=0 on the five merge-touched files -> exit 0 each; prettier
--check -> exit 0; eslint --prune-suppressions (whole src) -> exit 0 with no
semantic change, file restored. Negative controls on the same tree: dropping the
payload flag at both payload sites -> 9 failed | 2 passed (11); skipping the
stat-around-read block -> 1 failed | 56 passed (57); dropping the spec's stat
double -> 9 failed | 2 passed (11); restoring the writable abort field -> tsc
exit 2 with the two TS2540 rows.
…about the hardened guarded write
applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts arrived with 1b9cb7d (Zoo-Code-Org#2343). Its doubles describe the tool as
it behaved before the guarded-write series hardened apply_diff: an fs/promises double with readFile only,
and a diffViewProvider.open() stubbed as a no-op over originalContent: "". The hardened tool stats around
its own read to capture the version token its guarded publish consumes, and fails closed when open()'s
re-read disagrees with that read. So on any branch that carries the hardened tool, execute() never reaches
askApproval: 9 of the 11 rows fail ('expect(askApproval).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)' got 0 calls at spec:135,
':197', ':219') even though nothing about the outside-workspace decision changed.
This touches the test file only; no production line changes.
- fs double gets a stat (:26-31): rejecting, which is the case the tool already tolerates by publishing
unguarded-by-token (the token is kept only when the file did not change between stat and read).
- open() double records its re-read (:111-117): the real open() re-reads the file and keeps that text as the
save baseline, which is exactly what the staleness check compares against.
Measured (Windows box, pinned node 22.23.4, root-junction bins):
- this tip: outsideWorkspace 11 passed (11), exit 0; tsc --noEmit 0 errors; eslint --max-warnings=0 0
messages on the file; prettier --check clean; eslint-suppressions.json untouched (delta empty).
- without the hunks, in the 1408-head + main merge tree (tree 73632a8): 9 failed | 2 passed (11), the
same 9 rows CI's platform-unit-test (windows-latest) reported in run 42565686409 job 128991579779.
- with the stat hunk only: 7 failed | 4 passed. With both hunks: 11 passed (11), and that merged tree
passes its whole core lane: 201 files, 4363 passed | 9 skipped (4372), exit 0.
- negative control: main tip e487cd7 alone, that spec 11 passed (11) - the file is fine today; it is only
unreadable against the hardened tool.
Zoo-Code-Org#1408 (feat/guarded-write-wiring-s4b) is the pull request waiting on this: its windows arm is red against a
file that is not on its branch, and its owner deliberately did not carry this file across, because both
sides adding it with different content is an add/add conflict in the merge tree.
Brings in Zoo-Code-Org#2343 (apply_diff auto-approves edits outside the workspace), Zoo-Code-Org#2283 (task
abort/abortReason run-state latches), Zoo-Code-Org#2324 (Turbo cache input contracts), Zoo-Code-Org#2327
(CSS transitions for visual themes) and Zoo-Code-Org#2277 (aimock 1.47.0), so the required arms
judge this branch against the content they actually check out.
The merge is textually clean and ApplyDiffTool.ts lands as main's content with this
branch's hunks applied on top, which is the composition the arms need. The only
reconciliation needed was in main's new applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts: its
diff-view double stubbed open() as a no-op and left originalContent at "", which is
the fixture shape applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts warns about. The stale-base
guard added on this branch reads open()'s re-read as the save baseline, so that
double reported a stale base that never happened and execute returned before asking
for approval - nine failures in CI's windows lane. The double now re-reads through
the same fs mock and provides the stat the tool takes around its read; main's
c assertions and expectations are untouched.
Brings 1404 up to the content the required arms actually check out: the 20 non-merge main
commits between its merge base 3ee042d and main tip e487cd7, including Zoo-Code-Org#2283 (task
abort/abortReason run-state latches, which turn Task.abort and Task.abortReason into getter-only
accessors), the settings round-trip unit e943530, Zoo-Code-Org#2343, Zoo-Code-Org#2324, Zoo-Code-Org#2327 and Zoo-Code-Org#2277. 29 of this
branch's 43 delta files were also edited on main and every one of them auto-merged.
Nothing had to be reconciled, and that was measured rather than assumed: tsc --noEmit over the
merged tree exits 0 with zero error rows once @roo-code/types resolves to the merged packages/types
(it reported 25 perWriteCheckpoints rows while resolving to a sibling checkout's stale types, which
is a resolution artifact, not a defect in this tree). The accessor hazard that class of merge usually
produces is absent here: this branch's Task.ts never assigns this.abort or this.abortReason (its three
mentions are comparisons), and the five spec-side writes all land on object-literal doubles that
declare abort as a mutable property or on a local { abort: boolean } alias. Control: injecting
'this.abort = true' inside the getter body produces exactly one row, TS2540 Cannot assign to 'abort'
because it is a read-only property, and removing it returns the program to exit 0, so the check would
have caught the hazard if the merge had created it.
