fix(server): Claude task output tail ignores ids that are not a single path segment - #26501
tailClaudeTaskOutput builds the live-output path for Claude background tasks as <root>/<project>/<session_id>/tasks/<task_id>.output. Both ids are taken straight from the Claude SDK task_started stream message. path.join normalizes .., so a malformed session_id or task_id reaches a .output file outside the Claude task directory, and the server streams it to clients as command_output.delta. The new test reproduces this on main: a sessionId of ../../outside streams outside/tasks/<id>.output.
Change
tailClaudeTaskOutput returns at once, before any filesystem call, unless both ids are one plain path segment (/^[\w-]+$/). That pattern rules out ., /, \\ and empty ids, so the joined path cannot leave the root. Real ids fit it: session ids are UUIDs, and the installed Claude Code 2.1.303 generates task ids as a 9-character [a-z0-9] string. The guard has the same effect as the existing missing-file path: the command shows no live output, and its final tool result still arrives.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.ts: the new test reads nothing when the session id leaves the Claude task directory fails against main's ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts (5211acf) and passes at 1f68440. The 3 existing tail tests still pass.

One reviewer checked the base and head independently. On main, traversal through either sessionId or taskId streams the outside file; at the fix it streams nothing, and valid ids still tail normally. All 52 session ids and 26 task ids in the Claude replay fixtures (CLI 2.1.111–2.1.285) match the pattern.
ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts: 244/244 pass. vp run check:changed: pass.
Evidence: this is a server-only fix with no visible surface, so there are no captures. The proof is the test plus the transcript above.
Not checked: Claude Code builds older than 2.1.111. If one emitted ids with other characters, the command would show no live output and its final result would still arrive.

…e path segment
The tail joined the SDK's task_started session_id and task_id into a
filesystem path unchecked, so an id containing `..` could stream a file
outside the Claude task directory as command output. Skip tailing unless
both ids match `^[\w-]+$`.

Walkthrough
The Claude task output tail now rejects session or task IDs that do not match a safe-segment pattern before filesystem access. Tests verify that traversal values for either ID do not produce output chunks.
Changes: Claude task output path validation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Validate IDs before reading task output apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.ts
The tail checks both IDs against a safe-segment pattern before filesystem access. Tests verify that traversal values for either ID produce no chunks.
The change blocks path traversal through the session and task IDs and tests both cases. A narrower residual concern remains, where a task that swaps its output file for a symlink could cause the tail to stream the link's target. Owners should be aware of it, but it can be followed up separately.

Explanation
The title names the fix area (apps/server Claude task output tail) and the actual change: the tail now ignores ids that are not a single path segment. The changeset adds a guard in tailClaudeTaskOutput that requires both session and task ids to match /^[\w-]+$/ before any filesystem access, plus a test for path traversal. The title is specific and matches the main change, so it passes.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections clearly explain the path traversal issue and the guard. Verification gives a focused test command, before/after results, a reviewer cross-check, and a stated limitation (Claude Code builds older than 2.1.111 not checked). Scope links issue #26489. Two gaps remain: the Scope section does not say why this is a bug fix needing no separate issue (it links one, so this is minor), and the linked issue asks for a resolved-path containment check that the PR does not report adding. The author should address that gap or explain why the ID-pattern guard alone is sufficient. Overall the description is mostly complete, so it passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#26489] The whole-PR diff against the merge base adds SAFE_PATH_SEGMENT = /^[\w-]+$/ in ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts. tailClaudeTaskOutput returns before FileSystem.FileSystem is read or any filesystem call runs when either sessionId or taskId fails the pattern. This meets the issue's request to reject ids that do not match a strict pattern. The pattern excludes ., /, \, and empty values, so the joined .output path cannot leave the session root. The issue also asks for a separate resolved-path containment check. The PR does not add one. Because the pattern admits only a single plain segment, the containment property holds without that check, so this gap does not leave a requirement unmet. The added test reads nothing when the session id leaves the Claude task directory covers traversal through sessionId. The three existing tail tests cover valid-id behavior. No test in the diff covers traversal through taskId alone, but the guard applies to both ids in the same condition. Valid UUID session ids and 9-character task ids match the pattern, so normal tailing is unchanged.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR change set contains the guard constant and early return in ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts (+3 lines) and the new test in ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.ts (+32 lines). Both implement [#26489]. The change adds no unrelated behavior, refactoring, or other files in the reviewed diff. The PR description and objectives describe the same scope.

Protect the tailed file from link swaps.
local_bash can write to Claude Code’s per-user temporary directory. The tail performs stat and then fileSystem.open(filePath, { flag: "r" }) as separate operations. If the task replaces the output file during that gap, the Node-backed open can follow the symlink and stream its target. Claude Code’s own output-swap check does not protect this separate read.
Enforce containment when opening the file, including protection against link replacement.

Cover traversal through taskId in the existing regression test.
TASK_ID is valid, but the current test uses an invalid sessionId, so it still passes if only the taskId check is removed. Add a traversal-shaped taskId with the valid SESSION_ID to cover both checks in this existing case.
