feat(file-safety): atomic text publish primitive (U1, #1375) - #1910
This PR adds safeWriteText, one primitive for publishing text files atomically. Today, if the process crashes or the machine loses power while the extension is writing a config or state file, the file can be left truncated or half-written. After this PR, the payload is written to a private staging file and flushed to disk before a single rename puts it in place: readers only ever see the old content or the new content, never a mix.
It is the first of nine PRs that together make every file write in the extension safe against concurrent writers and half-written files (epic #1375, chain tracked on #1991). Every later unit publishes through this primitive, so this is the foundation PR of the chain.
New safeWriteText: the payload is encoded, written into a private per-write staging directory, and fsynced before anything is published.
The existing target's permissions are preserved on the staged file (CWE-732) so the rename cannot widen permissions; on Windows the target's DACL is saved with icacls /save before the copy and restored after the commit rename (best-effort, reported through onWarning when it cannot be done).
With backup: true, the target is copied (never moved - a move would leave the canonical path absent for the whole commit window) to a safeWriteText.bak_* file, chmod 0o600, fsynced, and removed after a successful commit (one retry, then the path is reported through onWarning).
Publish is a single rename; on POSIX the parent directory is then fsynced so the new directory entry is durable - a failure there surfaces as PostCommitDurabilityError rather than a silent success.
On any pre-commit failure the staged file and staging directory are removed. Because the backup is a copy, nothing is restored over the target and there is deliberately no rollback error class in this unit.
Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on main, not on another unit's branch - and the spec tests the new file as a unit, so implementation and tests land together.
Review focus:src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts and src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts.
Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
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; this is an extension-host file primitive.
Videos (interaction / animation only)
Not applicable - no interaction or animation surface.
Documentation Updates
No user-facing documentation change: no new setting, no new surface, no model-facing text. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).
Additional Notes
Budget: ~1380 a+d / ~440 changed executable lines. Above the 1000 a+d cap - documented deviation: safeWriteText.ts is a new file and its spec tests that file as a unit, so the two cannot be separated without breaking the fidelity contract.
File updates can now use backups and atomic replacement, helping preserve existing files if a write cannot be completed.
Bug Fixes
Applying a diff to a file with invalid UTF-8 now stops before modifying the file and reports the file path and first invalid byte offset.
This pull request adds safeWriteText for staged, atomic file publication with optional backups and cleanup reporting. It also changes ApplyDiffTool to reject invalid UTF-8 input and report the first undecodable byte offset before applying or saving a diff.

Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🟡 Moderate · up to e1eee
Atomic writes improve content safety, but Windows permission restoration can fail silently, and backup rollback can overwrite another writer’s committed update. No production caller was identified, limiting immediate exposure.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Windows permission preservation is not a publication-success invariant. Replacement content becomes visible before DACL restoration; save and restore failures are suppressed, and the recovery dump is deleted even after restore failure. If the replacement’s permissions are broader than the original target’s, exposure can persist despite a successful return. No production invocation was identified.
Medium · reliability · inferred: Backup rollback does not establish ownership of the target it restores over. With concurrent calls to the same target, writer A can move the old target aside, writer B can publish successfully, and a subsequent pre-commit failure in A can restore stale content over B’s committed update. Unique staging directories prevent staging collisions, and the committed flag protects A’s own successful commit, but neither serializes target transitions. Caller-side serialization could prevent this; no enforced caller contract was established.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The authority exercised is local filesystem authority of the calling process: replacing a resolved target, creating staging and recovery files, and changing replacement permissions. There is no root-directory allowlist in this API. A future privileged caller must constrain paths before invoking it; no tenant, network, IAM, or cross-service expansion was established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A conditional Windows disclosure or modification path exists if a caller replaces a protected target with a staging file whose DACL permits additional principals: content is published before restoration, and restoration failure is silent. Actual permissions and attacker reachability were not demonstrated; the supplied tests mock filesystem and icacls behavior.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Symlink resolution and staging validation constrain what gets renamed but do not authorize the requested destination. These checks are path-based, not a binding between a validated filesystem object and every later operation. The injectable execution runner is documented as a code-valued test hook, not an input-text command interface.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Backup recovery requires a single-writer ownership policy to contain failed transactions. The exported canonical lock-key helper can support such a policy, but safeWriteText neither uses it nor verifies that rollback still owns the target. A committed peer update can therefore be reverted by another invocation’s recovery.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Before using this API for permission-sensitive files, establish the required DACL on the replacement before making its contents visible. If metadata recovery remains post-commit, report failure distinctly and retain usable recovery material rather than returning ordinary success.
proposed — Define and enforce canonical-target serialization across resolution, mode capture, backup, publication, and recovery, including the intended cross-process scope. For backup mode, assign interruption recovery ownership or preserve the canonical target while creating the recovery copy.

Explanation
[#2016] safeWriteText stages and fsyncs the payload before rename, supports backup copies, and reports POSIX parent-directory fsync failures. The Windows DACL implementation does not meet the issue’s best-effort requirement: safeWriteText.ts refuses publication when DACL inspection or saving fails, and throws DaclRestoreError when restoration fails, instead of reporting these failures through onWarning.
Resolution
Change Windows DACL inspection, save, and restore failures to the best-effort behavior required by #2016. Report failures through onWarning and update the related tests.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts adds invalid-UTF-8 detection and rejects diff application to files with undecodable bytes. Its failure-reporting tests cover this behavior. These changes do not implement or test the safeWriteText requirements in #2016. The safeWriteText integration tests and knip.json entry support the linked objective.
Resolution
Remove the ApplyDiffTool and applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts changes from this PR, or move them to a PR with a directly relevant linked issue.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The new src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts can expose secret file contents on Windows. If a restrictive target is in a permissive parent, staging and backup files inherit Windows access controls rather than the protection implied by modes 0o700 and 0o600 (lines 181–188, 520–530, 622–630). The commit rename also occurs before DACL restoration (lines 661–709), so access can be wider during the restore and remain wider if it fails. The primitive has no production callers yet. The real-filesystem tests do not check restrictive Windows DACLs; the focused Windows tests mock filesystem and icacls calls.
Resolution
Protect staging, backup, and DACL dump artifacts with verified restrictive Windows security descriptors. Apply and verify the target DACL before publication; refuse publication if protection fails. Add Windows integration coverage for restrictive targets in permissive parents, including cleanup and restore failures.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The prior data-loss issue remains in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:606-653. If a generated backup path already exists, openSync with wx fails with EEXIST, but the catch block unlinks that path. This can delete another write's backup or retained state.
Resolution
Track ownership of the backup path. On EEXIST, leave the existing file untouched and retry with a new name.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The previous coverage gap remains. ApplyDiffTool.ts:118-126 reports the affected path and returns before calling applyDiff for invalid UTF-8. The tests at applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts:179-198 assert neither the reported path nor that applyDiff was not called. They do assert that approval and writes do not occur.
Resolution
Assert that the invalid UTF-8 error contains the affected path and that the diff strategy's applyDiff mock was not called.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The seed descriptor concern remains unresolved. In safeWriteText.ts:622-653, a failed closeSync(seedFd) drops the descriptor after removing the backup path. If the close fails without releasing the descriptor, it remains open. The test at safeWriteText.spec.ts:723-746 checks one close attempt and the unlink, not descriptor release.
Resolution
Remove the manually managed seed descriptor or use ownership that handles close failure without closing a reused descriptor. Preserve the original error and test descriptor release after close failure.

…ve (U1, issue 1375)
Split unit U1 of PR 1833. Three changes, each with a test that fails without it:
- a caller-supplied staging path is checked for location and file type before anything is written, so an arbitrary path or a symlink cannot be published onto the target;
- a failed parent-directory fsync on POSIX is reported as PostCommitDurabilityError instead of being swallowed, so a successful return never claims durability the filesystem did not grant;
- the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown.
Focused coverage for resolveLockKey added: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.
Security boundaries — a caller-supplied tempPath is now checked before anything is written: it must sit in the target's directory (a rename across filesystems fails with EXDEV, and a path elsewhere lets a caller publish an unrelated file onto the target) and must be a regular file rather than a link, since renaming a link over the target publishes whatever the link points at. Rejections carry StagingPathError with the offending path. Two tests cover both rejections and assert nothing was opened or renamed.
Persistence integrity — the POSIX parent-directory fsync is no longer swallowed. A failure now throws PostCommitDurabilityError, which states plainly that the content is at the target and only the directory entry may not be durable, so a successful return no longer claims durability the filesystem did not grant. The test that asserted best-effort behaviour was replaced with one that asserts the new contract.
Regression evidence — focused coverage for resolveLockKey added at the file-safety layer: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.
Lifecycle resource cleanup — the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown; the backup stays on disk. A test asserts the ordering by call order.
48 tests pass at this head, and the four new-behaviour tests were verified to fail against the pre-fix file.
Re-requesting review needs a human: this token cannot post it (POST /pulls/1910/requested_reviewers returns 404 on a fork PR), so the Reviews panel has to be used by a maintainer or the author's account.
Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
…ishTarget (U1, issue 1375)
The resolver may fall back to the given path only when lstat also reports the path as absent. An EACCES or EIO failure says nothing about whether the path is a link, so falling back would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches.
One more finding closed at c4120b057: resolvePublishTarget now propagates an lstat failure that is not ENOENT instead of falling back to the given path. A failed lstat says nothing about whether the path is a link, so the fallback would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches (50 pass).
… type-sound
compile failed at the unit head on three points:
- RollbackFailureError needs a string backupPath, but the throw now happens after cleanup, so the
`string | null` narrowing was lost. The failure is now held as { error, backupPath }.
- The async lstat stand-in is built on the Stats prototype so it satisfies fsSync.Stats.
- The realpath/readlink mocks are typed to the real signatures; the readlink mock answers once
because only the link path is read.
tsc clean, 50 tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean, no suppression change.
…ed publish
The rollback ran whenever backup mode had renamed target -> backup, including when the failure happened AFTER the commit rename had already published the new content. The post-commit parent-directory fsync throws PostCommitDurabilityError, whose message tells the caller the content is at the target path, but the catch then renamed the backup back over that target. The caller was told one thing and the file held the other.
A `committed` flag is set immediately after the commit rename, and the rollback is skipped once it is set. Only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup.
Regression test at the lowest layer that would have failed: commit rename succeeds, the post-commit directory open fails, backup mode is on. It fails without the guard (1 failed | 50 passed) and passes with it. 51 tests pass; ESLint clean with --max-warnings=0 on both files.

Record the DACL restore error with the retained dump path.
When DACL restoration fails, the code throws before normal backup cleanup. The catch block then attempts backup cleanup. If that cleanup also fails, it records the backup path and error, but the retained DACL dump has no matching error. The PublishResidue arrays become mispaired.

Sync the entries for newly created directories
On Linux, if safeWriteText creates a missing parent directory, syncing dirPath does not ensure that directory’s entry in its parent is durable. A crash can therefore lose the directory and the published file after the function returns success. Sync the containing directory for each newly created path component before reporting success, and propagate sync failures.

Protect the Windows backup before copying content
If the target has a restrictive DACL but its parent grants another principal read access, the backup can inherit the broader access. Windows does not use 0o600 to restrict that principal, and the saved DACL is restored only to the target. The principal can read the old content while the backup exists, or longer if cleanup fails.

preserve the existing file-publication behavior.
- Around line 601-659: Update the backup creation flow in the `options?.backup`

`fs.copyFile` writes any target content; use the repository’s established
ACL-handling mechanism and preserve the existing cleanup and backup behavior.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Make Windows DACL inspection, save, and restore failures best-effort and report
them through `onWarning`, as #2016 requires. Update the focused tests and error
contract.
- Regression Evidence:
Add unit tests that supply a distinct runner and verify both DACL calls use it,
not the default `execFile`. Cover callback errors on both save and restore with
the supplied runner.
- Security Boundaries:
On Windows, create staging, backup, and DACL dump artifacts with verified
restrictive security descriptors before writing sensitive data. Apply and verify
an appropriate DACL on the replacement before rename. Refuse the write if
protection cannot be established. Add Windows integration coverage for a
restrictive target in a permissive parent, including staging, backup, and
cleanup failure.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Remove the manually managed seed descriptor or use a descriptor-ownership
mechanism that safely handles close failure without closing a reused descriptor.
Preserve the original error and add a test for descriptor release after close
failure.

…aving U+FFFD back
fs.readFile with a "utf-8" encoding replaces every byte sequence it cannot decode with U+FFFD. The tool
then applies the diff to that decoded string and saves the result back through saveDirectly or
saveChanges, so editing a file whose bytes are not valid UTF-8 used to rewrite bytes the model never
asked to change. The read now takes the bytes and decodes them with
`new TextDecoder("utf-8", { fatal: true })`, which refuses: the tool names the file and the first
undecodable byte by offset on the error path it already uses for a missing file (say("error"),
recordToolError, consecutiveMistakeCount, didToolFailInCurrentTurn, pushToolResult) and returns
before the diff is computed, approved, or written. The decision is fail-closed, consistent with the
guarded publish: a file that used to be edited lossily is now not edited at all, and the message
names converting it to UTF-8 as the remediation.
The three fs doubles in applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts returned a string from a call that
takes no encoding, which is the lie the lossy decode was riding on; they now return Buffer and the
mock is typed against the byte-returning signature it stands in for. Four rows cover the new branch:
the refusal names the file and the byte, nothing is approved or written when it fires, valid
multi-byte UTF-8 still edits, and repeated invalid bytes report the first offset and not a later one.
They are Buffer and string logic only - no inode recycling, no cmd.exe, no junction - so nothing in
them depends on how this box behaves; the ubuntu lane is what instruments this file's lane.
Verification, pinned node v22.23.4 for every run below except the project pre-push hook, which ran
pnpm's bundled node v25.9.0 on cached turbo tasks (the weaker of the two statements): the
failureReporting suite plus its two neighbours (applyPatchTool.execute, editFileTool) pass 79/79 with
stdio on file descriptors; eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exits 0 on both touched files
and its rewrite of src/eslint-suppressions.json was reverted, so this commit carries no suppression
churn; tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json reports one error, activate/registerCommands.ts:88, on the
patched tree and the identical error on pristine 303af45, so the type delta is zero. prettier
--write ran before measuring and before committing, and the number below is the committed formatted
tree's: 346 of 500 counted executable lines at base 73931fe with
base...head and --unified=0, against 333 at 303af45 - +13 for this change - measured with v22.23.4.
The gate number is quoted here in the same sentence as the base it was taken against, because a line
count without its base is not a count.
…s back
The previous commit made the tool read bytes and decode fatally. CI did not run green on it: the ubuntu arm
of Zoo-Code-Org#1910 checks out the merge ref of this branch onto main (job 129175169868, "HEAD is now at b4a8d6a Merge
c5556a5 into e487cd7"), and main carries src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts,
which does not exist at this branch's base and therefore cannot be edited here. Its fs double answers
readFile with the string "old\n" at line 143 - the encoding overload - and a strict byte-only read turns that
into a refusal, so 9 of its 30 rows failed with "expected askApproval to be called 1 times, but got 0".
The read now declares readFile's own union - string | Buffer - and treats a string as already decoded by
whoever passed the encoding, because the original bytes are unrecoverable from it. The fatal decode, and so
the refusal, applies where the tool holds bytes, which is every real read: no encoding is passed, so the
byte overload is the one production calls. This keeps the fail-closed decision intact for files while not
forcing every string-returning double in the repo - editFileTool, applyPatchTool, outsideWorkspace - to be
rewritten by a PR that is about undecodable bytes. The trade is stated in the code comment and pinned by a
row that says a pre-decoded file still edits, which is which side gives way.
Measured, all with pinned node v22.23.4 and stdio on file descriptors: on the merge candidate itself
(worktree at b4a8d6a, node_modules junctioned from wt-u2-1911, whose pnpm-lock blob 0fb1d69
differs from the merge ref's 2035d1d - disclosed rather than hidden), applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.
spec.ts fails 9 rows under the strict read and passes with this one, together with applyDiffTool.
failureReporting.spec.ts, 50 tests, exit 0; the whole core subtree on that merge candidate is reported
separately below. In 1910's own tree, applyDiffTool.failureReporting with applyPatchTool.execute and
editFileTool passes 80/80; eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exits 0 on both touched files and
its suppressions rewrite was reverted again; prettier --check is clean on both.
Gate: 347 of 500 counted executable lines at base 73931fe with base...head
and --unified=0 on the prettier-formatted tree, against 333 at 303af45 - +14 for the pair of commits -
measured with v22.23.4. The whole core subtree on that merge candidate ran 197 files, 4250 passed and 9
skipped (4259), against CI's 4250 passed and 9 failed under the strict read. Two pushes to Zoo-Code-Org#1910 is two review resets under dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push, and
this one could not be folded into the first because the failure only exists in the merge with main.

…yte offset
Two things the fatal decode got wrong and both are mine, from c5556a5 and d5c31a1:
* The BOM. `new TextDecoder("utf-8")` consumes a leading byte-order mark by default, so switching from
`fs.readFile(path, "utf-8")` - which keeps it - to a decoder dropped it, and every path below republishes
the decoded string: the approval baseline, `saveChanges`, `saveDirectly`. Measured on pinned v22.23.4
against a file whose bytes are EF BB BD 68 69 0D 0A 74 68 65 72 65 0D 0A: `readFile` with utf-8 returns
a 12-character string beginning U+FEFF, the decoder with default options returns 11 characters without
it, and `{ fatal: true, ignoreBOM: true }` returns 12 characters whose re-encoding is byte-identical to
the file. The fix is `ignoreBOM: true`, which restores what the tool did before my change rather than
inventing new behaviour.
* The offset. A BOM is three bytes that decode to one character, so counting through the decoded string
reported a bad byte three positions early (measured: offset 3 where the offending byte is at 6), and a
U+FFFD that the file itself contains is indistinguishable in the decoder's output from a replacement the
decoder produced, so a real one earlier in the file was read as the failure position (measured: offset 1
where the offending byte is at 5). The offset is now walked in the original bytes, stepping over a
replacement only when those bytes really are EF BB BD.
Both are checked against byte positions read off a hex dump rather than against anything derived from the
decoded string: BOM plus invalid -> 4, literal U+FFFD plus invalid -> 4, both together -> 6, bad
continuation -> 1, truncated sequence -> 1, invalid restricted continuation (ED A0 80) -> 1, multibyte
then invalid -> 2, and the two rows already in the spec -> 3 and -> 1. Nine cases, all agreeing with the
tool's own output on the pinned interpreter.
Verification, pinned node v22.23.4 with stdio on file descriptors:
- src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts: 44 passed (1 file), four of them new.
- tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json in src: 0 errors.
- eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0: 0 on both files; its rewrite of
src/eslint-suppressions.json was reverted, so no suppression churn rides along.
- prettier --check clean on both, formatted before measuring.
- The merge candidate (this head onto upstream/main e487cd7, which is what the pull_request CI
actually checks out) is run locally before the push, because main's own
applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts runs against this file there.
Gate: 355 of 500 counted executable lines at base 73931fe with base...head and
--unified=0 on the formatted tree, against 347 at d5c31a1 - a +8-line move, measured with v22.23.4.
Spec rows cost nothing: the four new rows are in __tests__, which the gate excludes.

…imiter
CodeRabbit's row on eb15d53 (thread on applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts:245) is right on both counts, and the
second is a defect in my assertions rather than in the tool:
* `expect(output).toContain("first undecodable byte at offset 1")` is also satisfied by a message reading
"offset 10", because the shorter string is a prefix of the longer one. The reported offset is followed in the
message by `).`, so every offset assertion in `bytes the decoder cannot read` now asserts
"first undecodable byte at offset N)." - eight assertions, including the two rows that were already there.
* The adjacency cases it asked for are added in both orders: a truncated sequence followed by a literal U+FFFD
(`e2 82 ef bf bd`) reports offset 0, the start byte of the truncated sequence, and a literal U+FFFD followed
by a truncated sequence (`61 ef bf bd e2 82`) reports offset 4 where counting through the decoded string
would report 3 - the same three-byte-to-one-character shortfall the previous commit fixed, now pinned with a
literal replacement character instead of a byte-order mark. Offsets are quoted against the byte positions a
hex dump shows.
Verification, pinned node v22.23.4 with stdio on file descriptors:
- applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts: 46 passed (1 file), 44 before this commit plus the two adjacency rows.
- tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json in src: 0 errors; eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0: 0 on both files, with its
rewrite of src/eslint-suppressions.json reverted so no suppression churn rides along; prettier --check clean, formatted
before measuring.
- The merge candidate (this head onto upstream/main e487cd7, which is what pull_request CI checks out) is built and
run locally before the push - both applyDiffTool specs there, including main's own outsideWorkspace.spec.ts - because a
head-only green run describes a tree CI does not test.
Gate: 355 of 500 counted executable lines at base 73931fe with base...head and --unified=0
on the formatted tree with node v22.23.4 - unchanged from eb15d53, because every line here is in __tests__, which the
gate excludes. Mutation state is unchanged by this commit and is still the one published on the PR: 347 lines / 318 valid
/ 255 killed / 4 timeout / 57 survived / 2 no coverage from the artifact at d5c31a1, and no run has measured this
head yet.

Triage of the 66 surviving/uncovered rows on this head (measured, not inferred)
Head c1379065bee8df028c6732e5da945ad4a8d766d0. Upstream main read in this same call: 332d30fbb9d8852a61b4512a5ce550e10cf84f24 (2026-11-10T00:22:07Z). Gate figures below are what this head prints, not a restatement of anyone else’s numbers.
Gate report as published for this head (check run 129256179498, 11 annotations): 355 changed executable lines — 336 valid mutants — 266 killed — 4 timeout — 64 survived — 2 no coverage. Per-file tables list only Survived/NoCoverage mutants, so the reported rows are 58 in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts and 8 in src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts = 66. A briefing figure of 318 valid / 57 surviving / 2 uncovered does not match what this head prints; the numbers above are what I read, and I am not reconciling the difference quietly.
Method, per arm. One mutant written into the source at a time on the pinned interpreter C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/.tmp-node22/node_modules/node/bin/node.exe (v22.23.4, win32). Verdict command, cwd C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/wt-u1-1910/src:

After every arm the source was restored and byte-compared against the pre-arm copy: safeWriteText.ts back to sha256-16 fb308ea2d1a62b44 (37,164 B, 802 lines), ApplyDiffTool.ts back to d8be6f38d9543826 (403 lines). Baselines printed in the same runs: shipped safeWriteText Tests 75 passed (75), the 64-control spec Tests 64 passed (64), shipped ApplyDiffTool Tests 46 passed (46), the payload spec Tests 266 passed (266). A row is called author debt only when the shipped suite passes under that mutant and a control fails under it and passes on the clean source. No Stryker directive was added and no shipped source file changed; both control specs are scratch files, deleted before posting.

Author debt — 54 rows, missing assertion named (safeWriteText line numbers).
60, 79, 115, 154: no test asserts the thrown name for those four error classes, so blanking it survives. 480: the self-target refusal message is unasserted.
76: the lock-contention message text is never asserted verbatim. 77: nothing ties the thrown error’s cause to the original error.
164, 166, 173 (four rows): nothing pins the temp-name shape — stem, extension, both separators, the 8-character truncation of the random suffix. Four controls, four kills.
211 (2), 231 (2): windowsHide is passed but never asserted — neither its presence in the options object nor its true value — in either spawn.
275 (six rows): errorCode() is never fed a non-object, null, an object without code, or the two guard-precedence shapes; six controls, six kills.
313: the lock-key walk is never run with a gone referent, the only case where the target === undefined guard earns its keep (path.resolve(dir, undefined) measured: throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE).
353: the row is the error === null clause, not the whole condition — the whole-condition and length/typeof clauses die to shipped tests 1806 and 1812, so they cannot be the survivor. Missing assertion: a null thrown value that carries residue must come back as null.
410, 413, 414: no test awaits a promise-returning onWarning, none throws from the sink, and the failure-report label is unchecked — emptying the catch body (sha cb7f2c9e1c0e6348) passes the shipped suite.
445, 455, 468 (2), 477, 478: the caller-staged refusals and the identity-guard branches are asserted only on the happy path — a missing target after ENOENT, a different ino, a different device.
474 (2 of its 3 rows): under the second-&& mutant four controls fail (both ENOENT-target controls plus 477, 478); under the targetStat truthiness mutant two of them fail. The shipped spec never pairs those scenarios with the guard.
555, 557, 637: the descriptor contract is unasserted — fsync-before-rename on a caller-staged handle, and close counts on a backup write (openSync calls against closeSync calls).
650, 663, 667 (2), 704, 725, 764, 771 (2), 784: the backup and cleanup branch — OrphanedBackupError after a failed cleanup, committed only after rename resolves, the win32 branch and its string, the committed-but-unrestored dump notice, and the unknown error fallback label (725 and the first 771 row are the NoCoverage pair).
ApplyDiffTool.ts report rows 109 (two), 110, 111 (head lines 108, 108, 109, 110): all three byte discriminators in the undecodable-byte walk are load-bearing and none of them is fed the payloads that separate them. The payload suite kills the two ||→&& mutants with 10 and 7 controls and the three clause-false mutants with 3, 4 and 6.
Equivalence — 7 rows, mechanism named. These belong in the split-or-exclusion conversation, not in an assertion hunt.
safeWriteText.ts:475, :476: the strict stagingStat.ino === targetStat.ino two lines below already forces both operands to be bigint, so a falsified typeof clause implies a later clause is false too and the guard value cannot change; and on the real fs lstatSync(path,{bigint:true}).ino is a bigint (measured here).
:490, :714, :758: releaseBackupOnSuccess is set true only at 655 while backupPath is assigned at 606 and nulled at 649 and 775, so no reachable state has the two operands disagreeing — && to || cannot move either guard. 75 shipped tests and 64 controls pass under each.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:92 and :107 (head lines 91 and 106, the two "utf-8" literals): Node normalizes an empty encoding to utf8. Measured here: Buffer.from("abc","") is "abc", equal to Buffer.from("abc","utf8"), and Buffer.byteLength("abc","") is 3. All 266 byte payloads and all six lone-surrogate string feeds pass unchanged under both mutants, so no assertion at this layer separates them. Equivalent, not debt.
Rows needing a different leg rather than a different layer — 3.safeWriteText.ts:402, :572, :692 are all options?.x → options.x. They differ only when options is undefined, and the only members read in that state sit on the win32 DACL path, which is cold on the ubuntu-latest runner that produced this report — so all three survive there by construction. Locally on win32: 572 and 692 are already killed by an assertion the shipped spec has (the test “still removes the staging directory when no options are supplied at all” fails under each — one named test, exit 1), and 402 is killed by a control asserting that the default console.warn sink receives the notice when no options object is passed at all. Under AGENTS.md test placement these stay package-local unit tests; what they need is the windows-latest leg running them, not an e2e port. A Stryker directive here would hide a real gap on the one leg that can see it.
Reported survivors I could not reproduce — 2, named rather than smoothed over.
safeWriteText.ts:474, printed replacement targetStat || typeof stagingStat.ino === "bigint": applied to the head tree it fails 7 shipped tests on this interpreter (does not remove the staging directory when the caller supplies its own tempPath, does not remove a staging directory it did not create when a caller-staged write fails, uses the provided tempPath, fsyncs it, and renames to target, plus 4 more), so a local run cannot reproduce it as a survivor. The other 474 logical row (the second &&) does pass the shipped suite and is author debt.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:109, the second ConditionalExpression row, replacement false: the printed text matches two head-tree mutations — clause A, which passes the shipped suite here, and the whole if condition, which fails 7 shipped tests in the bytes-the-decoder-cannot-read group. Only one can be the survivor, so that pair is not reproducible from the report text alone.
Two claims of mine that were wrong, corrected. (1) I said the ApplyDiffTool rows name lines that host no string literal. True of the head tree, but the shift is uniform — all 8 rows sit exactly one line above the head-tree syntax they mutate (92→91, 107→106, 109→108, 110→109, 111→110) — and head and parent hold the identical blob (d8be6f38d9543826, 403 lines), so it is not a version difference. I mapped each row by its printed replacement plus that shift and am naming the shift rather than silently renumbering. The 58 safeWriteText rows are exact, no shift. (2) I earlier told the reviewer-side summary that the 353 whole-condition variant and the 474 first-&& variant were “killed, therefore not reported rows”; the report carries a row at each of those positions, and the correct statements are the narrower ones above — 353 is the error === null clause, and the 474 first-&& row is unreproducible here.
What I did not measure. No local Stryker preflight has been run, so the 4 timeouts are CI’s figures, not mine. requestedReviewers was not queried. Whether these mutants die on a windows-latest mutation run is inferred from the platform gating, not measured — no windows mutation run exists for this head. The two unreproduced rows above are exactly where the printed replacement and this host disagree, and that disagreement stays standing.
…survivors
The round-U33 changed-code sweep left 54 surviving mutants whose behaviour no
shipped test pinned. The controls that killed them move into the shipped specs
here: 48 tests into services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts and 13
byte-offset cases into core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts.
Each test keeps the assertion shape the control proved and names the mutant line
it kills. K313b carries one widened realpath annotation because the package
tsconfig rejects the sweep annotation; its behaviour and assertions are unchanged.
Re-run against every mutant after the port: 48 of 48 safeWriteText arms and 5 of
5 ApplyDiffTool arms now die under the shipped specs. Lines 402, 572 and 692 stay
reported rather than ported, and equivalence at 475, 476, 490, 714, 758 plus the
line 474 mutant that does not reproduce here stay named in the PR comment.
SafeWriteText.spec 75 to 123 tests, failureReporting.spec 46 to 59 tests. No
shipped source file changes, no changeset, and the gate still prices the extension
package at 355 changed executable lines against merge base 73931fe.
Round U35: the sweep assertions are in the shipped specs. This is a forecast of what the next changed-code mutation run should print, not a report of what it printed.

What the commit is, and what it costs the gate
2 files, 630 insertions, 0 deletions, both inside __tests__. No shipped source file moved: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts is still 37,164 bytes / sha256-16 fb308ea2d1a62b44 and src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts is still 15,949 bytes / d8be6f38d9543826, re-measured after 73 mutant runs. No changeset, no CHANGELOG.
Priced before writing, with the gate's own selectFromGit in wt-u1-1910, base 73931fe8be253b93ec11103a0672c615e849f895 and head c1379065bee8df028c6732e5da945ad4a8d766d0 (the merge base equals the base): one package - extension, root src, changedExecutableLines: 355, files src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts (status M, executable lines 90-94, 96, 104-122) and src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (status A, 333 executable lines), advisories: []. The caps are MAX_CHANGED_LINES = 500 and MAX_MUTANTS = 400. packageForPath returns null for both spec files I edited - measured on each path - and EXCLUDED_PATH_SEGMENTS contains /__tests__/, so the 630 lines this commit adds charge nothing against the 500-line cap for the extension package. 355 is unchanged from the previous head, which is what the arithmetic predicts: main moving to 332d30fb does not move this PR's merge base.

320 + 12 + 4 = 336. If the run prints 12 surviving and 0 uncovered for the extension package, the landing did locally what it was measured to do; any other split is a difference between this host and the runner, and the row-level claims below are the first thing to check.
What was ported, and how each port was checked
src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts: 75 tests before, 123 after. 44 of the added tests are the sweep control tests exactly as written - the ones that killed their arm while the shipped suite passed; 4 are modified forms (K313b, K353c, K413b, K637b) whose arms needed a rewritten control before they died. Assertion bodies are the controls' bodies, and each test name carries the mutant line it was written against. Suite header notes which arms are covered and which are deliberately left open.
src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts: 46 tests before, 59 after. The five ApplyDiffTool survivors at head lines 108-110 are offset-reporting mutants, so the assertion shape is the offset the tool prints for a byte sequence: eleven sequences report offset 0, two (0x41 0xef 0xbf and 0x3f 0xef 0xbf) report offset 1, and each test also asserts that the offsets the mutants print instead - 3 or 4 - do not appear. Every byte case is host-independent, which matters because the mutation job is not a Windows runner.
Verification: 73 mutant runs. Each one writes the mutated source, runs the pushed spec, then restores the shipped source and compares its sha256-16 before the next run. 53 arms that correspond to the 54 debt rows died: 48 extension safeWriteText arms (44 unmodified controls plus the 4 modified forms) and 5 ApplyDiffTool arms, which die on 10, 7, 3, 4 and 6 of the new byte tests respectively. The 54th row, safeWriteText.ts:474 ConditionalExpression to true, has no arm I could sha-match to CI: I reproduced it by construction (sha256-16 a5e3b41a94bfe0c4) and it dies on 2 of the ported tests. Not one ported control stopped killing its arm, so no arm had to be excluded from the landing, and this is a complete landing of the 54 rows, not a partial one.
One typing change, named because it is the only place the assertion text is not byte-identical to the control: K313b mocks fs.realpath, and the sweep annotated the callback (p: string), which the declaring package's tsc rejects (2282,45) because fs/promises declares a PathLike. The annotation is widened to the declared parameter type. The mocked behaviour and every assertion are the control's. The sweep scratch spec was never type-checked, which is why this only surfaced on the way in.
The 12 rows that stay open, with the reason each one stays open
Equivalence - 7 rows, all re-run against the pushed specs, all still surviving:
safeWriteText.ts:475 and :476 (ConditionalExpression to true): the alias guard three lines below already requires stagingStat.ino === targetStat.ino, and the lstat in this path is { bigint: true }, so typeof ... === "bigint" already evaluates true and replacing the operand cannot change an observable.
safeWriteText.ts:490, :714, :758: releaseBackupOnSuccess is only set on the path where backupPath has already been nulled, so the replaced operand and the swapped || operands describe a state the program cannot reach.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:92 and :107 (StringLiteral to "", head lines 91 and 106): Node normalises an empty encoding to utf-8 - Buffer.from("abc", "") equals Buffer.from("abc", "utf8") and Buffer.byteLength("abc", "") is 3 - so the replacement is the same program. Both re-ran at sha256-16 7c63061b5ac37e71 and 6274ce227eda3be7 and printed 59 passed.
Needs a leg that is not in this workflow - 3 rows, left reported rather than ported:
safeWriteText.ts:572 and :692 (OptionalChaining on options.execFileRunner): under the pushed specs these die, but only through the existing test still removes the staging directory when no options are supplied at all, which never overrides platform. On this Windows host the real win32 DACL step runs; the mutation job is ubuntu-latest (.github/workflows/mutation-testing.yml line 20), where that step is skipped, so they will keep surviving there. Worth naming as an option, not as something this push does: safeWriteText exposes platform?: string (line 22, documented as making both branches reachable without a real Windows runner) and resolves it as options?.platform ?? process.platform (line 562), so a package-local test that passes platform: "win32" with no options would kill both on Linux too.
safeWriteText.ts:402 (OptionalChaining on options.onWarning): nothing in this package kills it here either - re-run against the pushed 123 tests it printed 123 passed - so it stays reported, not ported.
Cannot be pinned from the report - 2 rows:
safeWriteText.ts:474 LogicalOperator: the printed replacement targetStat || typeof stagingStat.ino === "bigint" applied to the head tree fails 7 shipped tests, so that row cannot be reproduced from the text the report gives.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:109 ConditionalExpression (head line 108): the printed false matches two different head-tree mutations - clause A, and the whole condition - and applying it at head line 108 or head line 109 gives byte-identical files, so one of the two surviving rows at that report line cannot be attributed to a single mutation. Its sibling row at the same line is clause A, which is covered and sits in the +54.
Commands and printed numbers behind the claims above
Suites before and after, run from C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/wt-u1-1910/src with node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run <spec> on node v22.23.4: services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts printed Tests 75 passed (75) before and Tests 123 passed (123) after, exit code 0 both times; core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts printed Tests 46 passed (46) before and Tests 59 passed (59) after, exit code 0 both times.
Declaring package type gate in the same directory: node ../node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json -> exit code 0. The first run printed one error, at safeWriteText.spec.ts(2282,45), which is the K313b annotation named above; it is fixed in the commit rather than suppressed.
node ../node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 <spec> in the same worktree: exit code 0 for both specs. The first pass printed 'numIno' is assigned a value but never used and I deleted the orphaned helper instead of suppressing it. src/eslint-suppressions.json in the pushed tree is 30,910 bytes / ef86e518fb79c3b3, the committed file. The prune run rewrites it to 33,294 bytes (1326 insertions, 1326 deletions) with identical parsed content - 265 files, 265 rule entries, 2,870 suppressed entries both before and after - and I measured the same rewrite from a prune over a file I never touched, so it is the tool materialising its own formatting, not a count moving. I reverted the rewrite, so no part of the pushed tree comes from it; the hook run without --prune-suppressions left the file alone.
Prettier: --check printed All matched files use Prettier code style! on both specs before I edited them, I formatted with --write before measuring anything, and --check passes on both afterwards.
The hooks were not skipped. core.hooksPath is .husky/_, .husky/_/pre-commit and .husky/_/pre-push are the 39-byte husky shims, and the programs they source exist in that worktree (.husky/pre-commit 562 bytes, .husky/pre-push 1,385 bytes). The commit hook ran lint-staged and printed [COMPLETED] pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 --no-warn-ignored over the 2 staged files, leaving both byte-identical. The pre-push hook ran pnpm run check-types, which printed Tasks: 11 successful, 11 total, Cached: 10 cached, 11 total and executed zoo-code:check-types - the declaring package - instead of restoring it from cache.
CI executed the declaring package as well: in compile (job 129555128847, ubuntu-latest, completed success at 01:06:55Z) the log contains zoo-code:check-types: cache miss, executing f7ee47d946f04786, then > zoo-code@3.96.0 check-types /home/runner/work/Zoo-Code/Zoo-Code/src and > tsc --noEmit, closing with Tasks: 12 successful, 12 total and Cached: 0 cached, 12 total.

invisible-chars, check-translations, dependency-review, Build test VSIX, theme-fixtures, webview-visual - completed, success. Conclusion: none of those surfaces is touched by a test-only commit, and nothing failed.

Zoo Code / resolve PRs to reconcile and Zoo Code / reconcile PR review state (1910) - completed, success; CodeRabbit - completed, skipped. Conclusion: the review-state lane touched the PR and raised nothing, and the label list is empty, so nothing here changes a review verdict, dismisses anything, or resolves a thread.
platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) and platform-unit-test (windows-latest) - in progress at that moment, no conclusion. These are the two legs that would say whether the 123 and 59 tests hold on both platforms, and I claim no result for either.
e2e-mock and extension-host-visual - in progress at that moment, no conclusion.
mutation-diff (job 129555122816 in workflow run 42732921927, Changed-code mutation testing) - read separately from the contexts above because it is the one whose figures this comment forecasts: in progress at that moment, no artifact or annotation read, and no number in this comment comes from it. Its runner label is ubuntu-latest, which is exactly why safeWriteText.ts:572 and :692 are predicted to survive although they die on this host.
What I am not claiming
No figure above comes from a mutation run against the new head; that run has printed nothing. 320 / 12 / 0 / 4 is the forecast. 336 valid / 266 killed / 4 timeout / 64 survived / 2 no coverage is the published state at c1379065.
I did not run Stryker locally. With no shipped source line changed, a local preflight could not change the figures a test-only commit produces, and 355 of 500 counted lines leaves the run unblocked either way.
One of my own earlier statements needs correcting. I said 572 and 692 survive for lack of a windows-latest leg. That is right about the mutation job, but the reason they are not closed here is that the killing test never uses the documented platform override - not that no Linux-runnable assertion exists. The option is named above; I did not take it this round, and taking it would have meant a new assertion rather than porting one the control already proved.
Deferred, each with its reason: a delayed-body test for src/api/providers/utils/error-handler.ts on 1311 (that gate stands at 449 of 500 counted lines, 51 of headroom, and its classification depends on an answer still owed on 1991); the mutation-diff job log for the two rows named "cannot be pinned" (reading it would not change what those two rows are); and the standing queue in my handoff.

A successful publish also makes no staged-file unlink, so both tests stay green with the failure never triggered.
K764 has the same weakness. It asserts not.toContain("could not be removed") on a warnings list that may be empty for any reason, including the commit path never being reached.
Assert the rejection, and assert that the commit rename ran. Add one positive assertion to K764, such as rename having been called with the staged path.

Assert the resolved key in K313b, not only its type.
The test mocks realpath to fail once with ELOOP, then to echo its argument. It mocks readlink to fail with ENOENT. The expected outcome is a specific key: canonicalDirKey of the unresolved path. typeof key equals "string" accepts any string, including an empty one. It also accepts a key from the wrong branch of the bounded walk.
Assert that readlink was called with the resolved input. Assert that the key ends with target.txt, or compare it to the expected canonical value. Check that this still kills the mutant the test was written for.

…-pinned specs
The changed-code sweep left three survivors on 1910 that a spec change can close:
safeWriteText.ts:402 reads options?.onWarning, and :572 and :692 read options?.execFileRunner.
The mutated form differs from the clean one only when the options object is absent, so the
documented platform override cannot trip these chains: passing { platform: "win32" } is what
makes options non-null, and non-null options is the case the chain already handles. Two tests
therefore call safeWriteText with no options at all and pin process.platform for the duration
of the call, restoring its own descriptor afterwards, so the win32 DACL steps run the same way
on a Linux runner as on Windows instead of being gated on the host. The third test keeps the
override form and pins the icacls save-then-restore ordering that the OS-gated test at line 752
could not assert off a Windows host; it kills none of the three mutants, and that gap is
reported in the test comment rather than papered over with a weaker assertion.
Arm evidence, each mutant written over the shipped source, the suite run against it, then the
source restored and hash-compared:
402 sha256-16 8e91f5e89c64731c 1 failed, 125 passed - fails the default-sink warning test
572 sha256-16 7adb6c41be7b21f2 3 failed, 123 passed - also fails the shipped no-options
test and the save/restore ordering test
692 sha256-16 f4b9b9c332cce6ee 3 failed, 123 passed - the same two tests
Suite 123 -> 126 tests, exit code 0. Shipped source unchanged: safeWriteText.ts 37,164 bytes
fb308ea2d1a62b44. No Stryker directive added, no suppressions touched, no changeset.
What this push is, and what it is a forecast about
One push, one head, no source change: a6ce54e (parent 6010a57), 1 file, 88 insertions, 7 deletions, all of it inside src/services/file-safety/__tests__/. It closes the three survivors the last round left reported rather than ported: safeWriteText.ts:402, :572 and :692. Everything below is measured by a command in this span; the CI figures are the previous head's, quoted so the forecast has something to be checked against, and no number here comes from the run that this push has now triggered.
Gate state as priced before pushing: upstream main a7157157239af0e9f3c544ff121dca83a5880274; my own git merge-base a7157157239a a6ce54e00bfb printed 73931fe8be253b93ec11103a0672c615e849f895, and the gate's own mergeBase field printed the same sha. Running selectFromGit on that head prints extension, 355 changed executable lines, advisories empty, with only ApplyDiffTool.ts (M) and safeWriteText.ts (A) carrying executable lines, against caps of 500 lines and 400 mutants. packageForPath returns nothing for safeWriteText.spec.ts, safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts and applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts, and the exclusion list carries /__tests__/, so this commit's 88 lines charge the gate nothing.
The forecast
Against head 6010a57 the artifact changed-code-mutation-report (13725857416) printed for extension: 355 changed executable lines, 336 valid mutants, 322 killed, 10 survived, 0 no coverage, 4 timeout. Forecast for head a6ce54e, package extension: the same 355 lines and 336 valid mutants, because no shipped source line changed; 325 killed, 7 survived, 0 no coverage, 4 timeout. The three mutants this commit is aimed at (OptionalChaining at reported lines 403, 573 and 693, which the gate table prints as 402, 572 and 692 on this file) are expected to move from survived to killed, and the 7 equivalence rows are expected to survive again. Nothing here predicts a mutant coming back to life.
The mechanism finding, which corrects what I said last round
I wrote last round that 572 and 692 were open for lack of a windows-latest leg on the mutation job. That is true of that job but it is not the reason they are open here, and the fix is not the runner. All three guards dereference the whole options object: line 402 reads options?.onWarning, lines 572 and 692 read options?.execFileRunner. The mutated form (options.field) differs from the clean program only when options is absent. That makes the documented platform override unable to kill them: passing { platform: "win32" } is precisely what makes options non-null, and non-null options is the case the chain already handles. So two of the three new tests call safeWriteText with no options at all and pin process.platform for the duration of the call, restoring its own descriptor afterwards - which runs identically on a Linux runner and on Windows, instead of being gated on the host the way the existing it.skipIf(process.platform !== "win32") test at spec line 752 is. The third test keeps the override form, asserts the icacls save-then-restore ordering that the OS-gated test could not assert off Windows, and kills none of the three mutants. That gap is the finding.
Arm evidence for the three
Each mutant was written over the shipped source, the suite run against it, then the source restored and hash-compared (shipped safeWriteText.ts is 37,164 bytes, sha256-16 fb308ea2d1a62b44, before and after all three runs).

The seven rows no assertion can close, with the directive forms offered
These are offered, not applied: this lane has added no Stryker directive at any point in the campaign, none of the lines below is in the source, and no gate-config exclusion is being requested. Whether an equivalence mutant deserves an exclusion is the maintainer call. Each line is the exact text the validator accepts - // Stryker disable next-line MutatorName: reason, named mutator, concrete reason, no blanket - and it goes on the line immediately above the mutant's source line. The reported position is what CI's table prints; the source position is the line in the file as pushed.
safeWriteText.ts:475 (CI-reported 475) - ConditionalExpression replaced by true: // Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: line 475 - both lstat calls feeding this guard ask for bigint stats (lines 452 and 467), so the false branch of this typeof test is not reachable from this call site and the identity comparisons on lines 477 and 478 decide the outcome either way.
safeWriteText.ts:476 (CI-reported 477) - ConditionalExpression replaced by true: // Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: line 476 - same reason as line 475: the target stat is also requested with bigint at line 467, so forcing this guard to true cannot change which path the write takes.
safeWriteText.ts:490 (CI-reported 490) - BooleanLiteral replaced by true: // Stryker disable next-line BooleanLiteral: line 490 - both readers of this flag (lines 714 and 758) conjoin it with backupPath, and backupPath is non-null only in states where line 655 has already set the flag to true, so the initializer value is never observable.
safeWriteText.ts:714 (CI-reported 714) - LogicalOperator swapping && for ||: // Stryker disable next-line LogicalOperator: line 714 - this is the post-commit path, where the backup completed and line 655 set the flag in the same block that made backupPath non-null, so the two operands always hold the same truth value and the two operators agree.
safeWriteText.ts:758 (CI-reported 758) - LogicalOperator swapping && for ||: // Stryker disable next-line LogicalOperator: line 758 - the only state where backupPath is non-null while the flag is false is closed inside the try, which nulls backupPath at line 649 before throwing, so every path reaching this catch finds the operands agreeing.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:91 (CI-reported 92) - StringLiteral "utf-8" replaced by the empty string: // Stryker disable next-line StringLiteral: line 91 - Node treats an empty encoding as utf-8, so Buffer.from(raw, "") yields the same bytes and the same length as Buffer.from(raw, "utf-8") and the decoder below sees the same input.
ApplyDiffTool.ts:106 (CI-reported 107) - StringLiteral "utf-8" replaced by the empty string: // Stryker disable next-line StringLiteral: line 106 - Buffer.byteLength(prefix, "") returns the same number as Buffer.byteLength(prefix, "utf-8"), so the offset counted by this loop does not move and the guard on lines 108 to 110 sees the same byte.
If those seven are declined they stay advisories and nothing else changes. If they are accepted, the author-visible residue on 1910 after this push is the equivalence set alone: 7 rows, 4 timeouts and nothing else.
Correction to what was published first
This comment was published once (9,499 bytes, sha256-16 354673cea1bfb835) and then corrected in place; it is still comment 6756397103 and no second comment was made. Two things in it were wrong and both are mine.
The mutant table carried each tally with its own pipe separator, which broke the table rows. The tallies now read with a slash separator; the numbers are unchanged, only the separator.
Four of the seven draft reasons described a mechanism I had not measured. The superseded text, quoted: for safeWriteText.ts:475, "the mode already read from statSync at line 474 forces the branch" - line 474 is targetStat && and says nothing about bigint, and the reason is the two bigint lstat calls at lines 452 and 467. For :490, "the flag is set from a comparison the caller cannot falsify" - line 490 is a false initializer that line 655 assigns true to, and the reason is that lines 714 and 758 both conjoin the flag with backupPath. For ApplyDiffTool.ts:91, "the guard at lines 108 to 110 already rejects the byte pattern this literal encodes" - that guard belongs to a different line's behaviour, and the reason is that Node treats an empty encoding as utf-8: measured in this span, Buffer.from with an empty encoding and with "utf-8" gave equal bytes of length 8, Buffer.byteLength gave 8 and 8, and the empty encoding did not throw. :106 carried the same wrong guard argument. The reasons for 476, 714 and 758 were rewritten in the same pass to name the lines that close the reachable states: 467 for 476, 655 for 714, 649 for 758.
Nothing about the forecast, the priced 355 lines, the arm shas or the printed tallies changed, and none of these directives has been applied.
What is still deferred, and why
1311's delayed-body test for src/api/providers/utils/error-handler.ts is still not written: its classification depends on the answer owed in comment 6753382426 on 1991, and that gate has 51 lines of headroom (449 of 500), so the blocker is the missing answer, not the budget.
The 2385, 1930 and 1911 cap rows and the unattributable 535 row still have no priced head to compare against, so they stay unattributed rather than guessed.
Local Stryker preflight has never been run by this lane. It stays deferred by choice, and it is now more expensive: matching CI would mean reproducing the merge candidate, not pricing the head.
requestedReviewers on this lane's open PRs has never been queried: a cheap read, deferred by choice every round.
No approval, no dismissal, no reviewer request and no thread resolution came from this push. No changeset, no CHANGELOG, no shipped source file touched.
Add a positive assertion to the negative-only tests.
K663 and K784 assert only that fs.unlink was not called on the staged path. K764 asserts only that no "could not be removed" warning appeared. All three pass for the wrong reason if safeWriteText fails earlier than intended. In K663 and K784, an early failure means the commit rename never ran. In K764, an early failure means no cleanup ran and no warning was produced.
Also assert the behavior these tests name:
K663 and K784: the rejection is a PostCommitDurabilityError, and fs.rename was called for the commit.
K764: fs.unlink was called on the .bak_ path, so cleanup ran.
K663 and K784 have identical bodies, so keep one and add these assertions to it.

Replace the type-only and toBeDefined() assertions with value assertions.
K468_comp, K468_str, K477 and K478 end with .resolves.toBeDefined(). safeWriteText resolves to { leftoverPaths: [] } in the Windows tests at Lines 2373 and 2389. Any resolved value passes toBeDefined(), so these four tests do not show that the call completed cleanly.
K313b asserts only typeof key === "string". A mutant that returns the wrong string, or the unresolved input, still passes. Assert the exact key that resolveLockKey should return for the mocked realpath/readlink chain.
As per path instructions: "Reject weak assertions on values that could take multiple forms: .toBeDefined() or .toHaveBeenCalled() alone are not sufficient when the actual type, value, or object identity is verifiable."

Stop pinning comments and test names to production line numbers and mutant IDs.
These comments cite line numbers in safeWriteText.ts (402, 474, 475, 476, 490, 572, 692, 714, 758) and a line in this spec (752). They also cite a PR comment ID, a round name, and a CI head SHA. The line numbers become wrong after the next edit to either file. The test names are K-numbers, and the describe name "assertions ported from the changed-code mutation sweep" does not name a subject. Failures in this block therefore do not say which behavior broke.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, Windows DACL preservation is best-effort. If icacls /save fails, or fs.access fails with an error other than ENOENT while checking the existing target, report the failure through the onWarning sink. The write still commits under the documented fallback. Do not require these failures to throw by default.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, Windows DACL restoration is best-effort after the commit rename. _restoreDaclWindows returns a boolean, and safeWriteText warns on failure that content committed but access rights may differ. Do not require a default throw for this failure: the author observed icacls /restore exit code 1300 on a Windows runner, and default throwing would disrupt safeWriteJson persistence after content has already committed. Any strict DACL-failure policy needs an explicit caller-visible contract.
Answers review thread 4520035083 on Zoo-Code-Org#1910.
The block header and the 13 per-case comments named a line number a mutant touches, which was another round's provenance and not a fact a reader can check in this file. Each case now names the comparison it kills: the encoded form of U+FFFD matching at the current offset, the decoded form matching, or the byte-order-mark prefix matching. Comment text only: with comments stripped and blank lines normalized this file is byte-identical to the committed spec, 30195 bytes both sides, sha256-16 fb3cb501d6b7da95, and there is no first differing byte.
No production code changed, no assertion changed, no suppression count changed, and the mutation gate charges nothing for a path under /__tests__/.
expect(typeof key).toBe("string") passes for any string, including an empty one or the wrong path. It cannot catch a regression in the bounded readlink walk of resolveLockKey. In this test, realpath echoes its input and readlink fails with ENOENT, so the key is deterministic. Assert the expected canonical key. Build the expected value the same way canonicalDirKey does, so the assertion also holds on Windows.
As per path instructions: "Require regression coverage ... with behavior-focused assertions".

# AGENTS.md
## Test Placement Guidance
- Use package-local unit tests for pure logic, parsing, state transitions, validation, serialization, request construction, retry decisions, and error handling.
Replace the toBeDefined() and typeof assertions with exact-value assertions.
The K468, K477 and K478 tests only assert .resolves.toBeDefined(). safeWriteText returns { leftoverPaths: [] } on a clean publish, so any object satisfies the assertion. The tests do not show that the caller-staged file was renamed over the target. A regression that returns early after the identity check passes would still be green.
K313b only asserts typeof key is "string". Any string passes, including an unresolved input path. The test therefore does not show the lock-key walk result.
Assert the full result and the key. For the K468, K477 and K478 tests, also assert that fs.rename received the caller's tempPath and the target path. The same tests also pass the caller's tempPath as the staging file. A mutant that skips the identity comparison is the main target, so make the accepted case observable.
For K313b, replace expect(typeof key).toBe("string") with expect(key).toBe(<expected canonical key>).
As per path instructions: "Reject weak assertions on values that could take multiple forms: .toBeDefined() or .toHaveBeenCalled() alone are not sufficient when the actual type, value, or object identity is verifiable."

Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:
- Around line 2117-2119: Update the safeWriteText tests to assert the exact
clean-publish result and verify fs.rename receives the caller-provided tempPath
and target path; apply this to the K468, K477, and K478 cases. In K313b, assert
the expected canonical key value rather than only checking its type, using the
key implied by that test’s input.
- Around line 2008-2061: Consolidate the duplicate safeWriteText tests so each
distinct behavior is tested once: merge K275_c1 with K275_L1, K275_c2 with
K275_c4, and K275_c3 with K275_L2; use it.each for cases that share setup and
assertions but differ only by label or input. Apply the same deduplication to
the other identical test cases in this suite, retaining one test per distinct
behavior.
- Around line 1830-1846: Update the `describe` block for the `safeWriteText`
tests to name the behaviors it covers, such as error names, warning delivery,
and DACL handling, instead of the mutation sweep. Remove comments that depend on
external triage details or production line numbers, and describe relevant cases
by their code constructs; apply the same cleanup to the related blocks
identified in the review.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Change Windows DACL inspection, save, and restore failures to the best-effort
behavior required by #2016. Report failures through `onWarning` and update the
related tests.
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the `ApplyDiffTool` and `applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts` changes
from this PR, or move them to a PR with a directly relevant linked issue.
- Regression Evidence:
Assert that the invalid UTF-8 error contains the affected path and that the diff
strategy's `applyDiff` mock was not called.
- Security Boundaries:
Protect staging, backup, and DACL dump artifacts with verified restrictive
Windows security descriptors. Apply and verify the target DACL before
publication; refuse publication if protection fails. Add Windows integration
coverage for restrictive targets in permissive parents, including cleanup and
restore failures.
- Persistence Integrity:
Track ownership of the backup path. On `EEXIST`, leave the existing file
untouched and retry with a new name.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Remove the manually managed seed descriptor or use ownership that handles close
failure without closing a reused descriptor. Preserve the original error and
test descriptor release after close failure.

This PR adds
safeWriteText, one primitive for publishing text files atomically. Today, if the process crashes or the machine loses power while the extension is writing a config or state file, the file can be left truncated or half-written. After this PR, the payload is written to a private staging file and flushed to disk before a single rename puts it in place: readers only ever see the old content or the new content, never a mix.It is the first of nine PRs that together make every file write in the extension safe against concurrent writers and half-written files (epic #1375, chain tracked on #1991). Every later unit publishes through this primitive, so this is the foundation PR of the chain.

Description
What this PR changes:
safeWriteText: the payload is encoded, written into a private per-write staging directory, andfsynced before anything is published.icacls /savebefore the copy and restored after the commit rename (best-effort, reported throughonWarningwhen it cannot be done).backup: true, the target is copied (never moved - a move would leave the canonical path absent for the whole commit window) to asafeWriteText.bak_*file, chmod 0o600,fsynced, and removed after a successful commit (one retry, then the path is reported throughonWarning).rename; on POSIX the parent directory is thenfsynced so the new directory entry is durable - a failure there surfaces asPostCommitDurabilityErrorrather than a silent success.Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on
main, not on another unit's branch - and the spec tests the new file as a unit, so implementation and tests land together.Review focus:
