This PR makes the advisory file lock work the way callers already assume it does: the lock key is canonicalised through the symlink referent, so a symlink alias and the file it points to share one lock.
Today two writers that reach the same file through different paths - one through a symlink, one through the real path - take different locks and can overwrite each other. Every writer in the file-write-safety chain picks its lock through this key, so this fix has to land before the guarded writes do.
It is the second of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).
The lock key for a write target is resolved through the symlink referent before locking, so an alias and its referent serialize on one lock.
Unrelated paths keep independent locks - the change does not coarsen locking.
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 unit's content, which the GitHub diff shows as context.
Review focus: the lock-key resolution and its spec (the files exercised by step 1 of the Test Procedure).
Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
pnpm --dir src test -- core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.lockKey.spec.ts utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts *(corrected 2026-11-09 at `4b85be99d7`: `core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.lockKey.spec.ts` is not a file at this head or at base `73931fe8be` — checked with `git cat-file -e` against both trees. The lock-key coverage this delta adds is `utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts`, now 9 passed; the cross-process behaviour that command was reaching for is covered by `core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.realConcurrency.spec.ts`, which is green here and failed at the previous head — that row is why the previous head's fix went out.)*
Expected: 27 passed, 1 skipped (the skipped case is the win32 symlink variant, verified manually). Then pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 on the touched files - clean. Corrected 2026-11-09 at 4b85be99d7: that 27-passed / 1-skipped figure is the lock-key pair at the head this section was written for, and it is kept as evidence of that head. Re-measured at this head (pinned node 22.23.4, src): the six suites this change touches are 168 passed with 1 skipped, the misc lane 2115 passed with 14 skipped, and core with coverage 4234 passed with 9 skipped — all in the dated section at the bottom.
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).

Documentation Updates
No user-facing documentation change: the lock key is internal behaviour. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).
Lock-key suites: 27 passed, 1 skipped (win32 symlink variant verified manually). — corrected 2026-11-09 at 4b85be99d7: kept as the number for the head it was written at; the numbers for this head are in the dated correction section below (six re-run suites 168 passed / 1 skipped, misc 2115 / 14, core with coverage 4234 / 9).
ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every file in the unit; Prettier clean; suppressions unchanged.
CI at this head: all required checks green, mutation-diff green.
Port of the U3 durability fix to this unit's copies (identical catch shape): safeWriteJson marks the staged path consumed on PostCommitDurabilityError, and safeWriteText's failure cleanup removes the staged temp only when the commit never landed (using the committed flag it already tracks). Regression test + two negative controls (each guard off reddens exactly the new test). 80/81 (1 pre-existing skip).
Refreshed onto main 4f1dee18e (merge 596f2d398, no conflicts; lint-gate commit drops imports main's side orphaned; format-gate commit reformats two specs for the prettier version main now pins - main also added the .prettierignore that previously shielded them). Review follow-ups ported from U3 at 6d0bc8742: real directory descriptor + cause assertion in the durability test, exact staging-release path assertions. All six required checks green at 6d0bc8742.
After the durability-probe portability work (d5a68d13f: the failure is injected by watching the commit rename - the parent-directory fsync is the only fsync after it - so no descriptor is fabricated and the Windows lane passes), CodeRabbit's two new threads are fixed at 5f938837b: resolveLockKey now falls back to the link walk only on ENOENT (a transient EACCES/EIO can no longer key a writer to the alias while another keys the referent; regression test with negative control), and the cleanup-safety test restores its spies in a finally block. All six required checks green.
Correction and re-verification at head 4b85be99d7 (2026-11-09)
Measured at 4b85be99d7d6c516d7197d4dabdc1a813ae9565e (tree f0daf445b604061616920abcf1185dfab357facd), pinned interpreter node 22.23.4, directory src. The claims written for earlier heads above are left exactly as they were, as evidence of those heads, and the lines that carry them are annotated where they stand.
The spec named in the Test Procedure above does not exist in this tree. The two windows-only behaviours the earlier sections describe are reproduced on this machine by pointing TEMP/TMP at a junction (the windows-latest runner reports its temp path link-qualified; a developer box does not), which is how the post-commit durability row was reproduced, fixed and re-passed here.
Resolve them on the pull request, or post @coderabbitai approve as a new top-level comment to resolve them and request approval.

Changes: Atomic file publishing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Resolve targets and stage content src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/*
Adds publish-target and lock-key resolution, staging-path validation, and staged content writes. Tests cover symlinks, aliases, authorized target identity, modes, and content.
Publish, preserve, and clean up src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds copy-based backups, Windows DACL handling, commit and durability checks, warning delivery, and cleanup. Tests cover publication outcomes and cleanup behavior.
Integrate JSON writes and recovery src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts, src/utils/__tests__/*
Updates JSON writes to lock and operate on resolved targets, then publish through safeWriteText. Recovery recognizes target-scoped staging names. Tests cover locking, aliases, interruption, recovery, and durability.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2350: The JSON staging names and recovery patterns are updated together; unscoped staging names remain outside the described recovery scope.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2148: The target is re-resolved before commit, but the changes do not add descriptor-relative publication.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2317: JSON writes stage beside the resolved referent and publish through safeWriteText, but the changes do not bind directory identity.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2178: The JSON commit path and EPERM fallback change; the provided context does not show native Windows rename-error validation.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2375: resolveLockKey resolves through the symlink referent so aliases and referents use the same lock key.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2374: The lock key uses the referent, but the changes do not show coordination for symlink replacement between resolution and locking.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2356: Lock keys resolve through paths, but the changes do not establish identity-based lock keys.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2360: The publisher re-resolves the target before publication, but does not add directory-handle binding.
Possibly related PRs
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2357: Adds the same safeWriteText resolver exports and uses the resolved publish target in safeWriteJson.
Resolve or explicitly accept the remaining publication and recovery risks before merging. Symlink changes can direct writes incorrectly, interrupted replacements can leave alias-based access unavailable, and Windows publication can temporarily or persistently broaden access.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 2945a
Canonical locking improves ordinary alias handling, and publication failures preserve useful recovery information. However, long symlink chains can still produce different locks during publication, and project configuration updates now follow links to files outside the project without explicit target authorization. The latter risk depends on link control, filesystem permissions, and a configuration-update action.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Project MCP updates now publish through an existing .roo/mcp.json symlink rather than replacing the link. A party controlling that link can redirect an otherwise project-scoped update to an accessible external configuration, potentially including global tool-approval settings. No referent authorization is enforced along the inspected write path. Exploitation requires a suitable readable JSON referent, permission to replace it, and an update action; intentional external-link support and the wider trust policy remain unresolved.
Medium · reliability · inferred: When a referent is temporarily absent during backup publication, a symlink chain longer than eight links can yield an intermediate lock key. If the referent returns before post-lock resolution, the caller can read, merge, and publish under a different lock from referent writers. This permits lost updates or conflicting backup and rollback ownership over the same file. Strict resolution rejects a still-dangling link, but does not validate that a recovered target matches the acquired lock.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is filesystem configuration reachable by the extension host, rather than a new remote endpoint. A project-controlled link can select an external referent, but successful replacement requires accessible JSON and sufficient directory permissions. Linking project MCP configuration to global MCP settings could make a project-labelled update persist beyond that project.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The conditional attack path is control of a project configuration symlink, followed by a project configuration-update action, then canonical resolution and publication to an external referent. Base behavior already read through symlinks, but replaced the link on write; the changed write destination is the introduced condition. This is an ownership-boundary concern, not a verified arbitrary-content write or command-execution finding.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — MCP webview operations supply server, source, and tool identifiers rather than arbitrary publication paths. The service selects project or global configuration internally and parses its content. MCP connection setup also honors global and server disable flags. These controls constrain invocation and execution, but are distinct from authorization to mutate an external symlink referent.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Commit-aware recovery improves failure containment, but depends on exclusive ownership of the publication target. Divergent fallback lock keys weaken that prerequisite: a rollback can compete with another writer's publication even though both use the advertised advisory-lock workflow.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Define caller-specific referent ownership policy: project configuration writers could reject out-of-scope referents unless the user explicitly authorizes them, while the general publication API remains usable for intentionally external paths.
proposed — Make lock fallback distinguish a terminal referent from a truncated or cyclic walk, and reject or safely retry unresolved identity rather than proceeding under an intermediate key. Validate convergence through publication absence, restoration, and concurrent merges.

Explanation
The title "feat(file-safety): canonical advisory lock key (U2, #1375)" matches the main change: resolveLockKey canonicalizes the advisory lock key through the symlink referent so aliases and referents share one lock. It is a conventional commit style title with a scope and a unit reference. The U2 and issue number tokens add some noise but do not obscure the primary change.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #2017 is the only active linked target. It has two acceptance criteria.
Criterion 1 [#2017]: the lock key resolves the write target through its symlink referent before locking. This is met at head ad18ac4. resolveLockKey in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts resolves the target. src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts takes its lock through this key. src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts covers: peer-commit resolution under the lock; lock release when resolution under the lock rejects; canonical keys for missing files and missing parent directories; relative referents through a directory link; the eight-link bound and the nine-link rejection; and propagation of non-ENOENT errors (EACCES, parent-directory EACCES, ENOTDIR). The alias fallback applies only on ENOENT.
Criterion 2 [#2017]: an alias and its referent serialize on one lock, and unrelated paths keep independent locks. The key is the canonical referent path. An alias and its referent therefore map to one key, and distinct files map to distinct canonical paths. The visible part of the lock-key spec is truncated at 16000 bytes. It shows no test that asserts two unrelated paths acquire different locks. The rest of that spec and safeWriteText.spec.ts were not read. The requirement holds by construction, but no visible test checks it directly. This is a gap in test evidence, not a contradiction.
The lock tests were not re-run. The verdict rests on source and visible test inspection.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff against merge base 73931fe contains work that #2017 does not require. The base has no src/services/file-safety directory. Head adds src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts and three spec files in that directory. The measured delta is nine files, +4218/-88.
Out-of-scope content:
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (+944/-0): atomic publish API, backup copies, Windows DACL/icacls handling, injectable ACL commands, warning sink, caller-supplied staging files, authorized-target identity guard (bigint dev/ino), PostCommitDurabilityError, OrphanedBackupError, StagingPathError. Only resolveLockKey and its helpers serve #2017.
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts (+167/-80): EPERM backup and retry, commit through safeWriteText, post-commit durability handling, staging-name changes, recovery integration. Only the resolveLockKey call serves #2017.
src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts (+46/-5): leftover naming rules for target-scoped staging files. Not a lock-key concern.
Tests for these paths: safeWriteText.spec.ts (+1941), safeWriteText.alias.spec.ts (+234), safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts (+169), safeWriteJson.test.ts (+310), safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts (+254), jsonFileRecovery.test.ts (+131).
Commits at head extend the identity guard and are also out of scope: 780966d (bind the commit rename to the authorized identity), 5559f1f (identity guard for a different live file), 2e79e37 (authorize by bigint file identity), ad18ac4 (identity guard row for a mid-write target change).
The PR description says the extra content is an inherited copy of U1 (#1910) from a non-cumulative chain. That reason does not change the diff against base 73931fe. Content from an unmerged predecessor is included in this PR's diff. The stated budget (538 a+d, 167 changed executable lines) and review focus (lock-key resolution only) do not match the measured delta. The PR objectives also list durability and recovery changes as included work. #2017 does not require them.
In scope: resolveLockKey and its helpers, its call in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, and the lock-key tests (src/utils/tests/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts and the lock-key cases in the safeWriteText spec).
Resolution
Limit the diff against base 73931fe to the lock-key change. Choose one path:
Merge U1 (#1910) into main first. Rebase this branch onto the updated main. Confirm that the diff against the new merge base contains only resolveLockKey and its helpers, the resolveLockKey call in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, and the lock-key tests.
Or remove the out-of-scope work from this branch. Keep only resolveLockKey and its helpers in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, the resolveLockKey call in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, and the lock-key tests. Remove the publish API, backup, DACL, staging validation, warning sink, identity guard, PostCommitDurabilityError, OrphanedBackupError, and StagingPathError. Restore the pre-existing safeWriteJson commit, backup, rollback, and durability behavior. Revert the jsonFileRecovery.ts naming change and its tests.
In either case, update the PR description so the stated scope, budget, line counts, and review focus match the diff against 73931fe.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The staging-path race remains. safeWriteJson.ts:183-197 passes a staged path to the new safeWriteText implementation. In a writable, non-sticky shared directory, an attacker can replace that path with a symlink after safeWriteText.ts:470 checks it. The open at line 606 follows the symlink, and the single-link check accepts a regular referent. If the referent is a victim-owned 0600 secret and the target is 0644, line 624 makes the secret readable. The rename at line 766 also uses the unbound path.
Resolution
Use an ownership-safe staging protocol that prevents symlink substitution before open, binds the opened file to the writer-created file, and protects the staging path through commit. Alternatively, remove caller-supplied staging paths. Add regression coverage for substitution before open and before rename.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The prior failure remains. In src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:211-217, an interrupted EPERM fallback can leave the committed JSON at a referent backup path. A later write through the file symlink rejects the dangling link before recovery (safeWriteJson.ts:143-150; safeWriteText.ts:265-278). Reader recovery scans the symlink path instead of the referent (jsonFileRecovery.ts:71-89), so it also misses the backup. TaskHistoryStore.readTaskFile then treats the item as absent.
Resolution
Recover the referent backup under the canonical lock before rejecting the dangling symlink. Make reader recovery use the same referent and lock. Add an interruption test that reads and writes through a file symlink.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The lock-independence coverage gap remains. safeWriteJson.ts:124-130 now acquires the key from resolveLockKey, but the focused tests do not compare keys for two unrelated files in the same directory. The sibling tests cover recovery, not lock independence. A regression could serialize unrelated writes.
Resolution
Add a focused test that verifies two unrelated files in the same directory receive distinct lock keys. Retain the alias and sibling-prefix coverage.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The cleanup failure remains. safeWriteText.ts:193–210, 839–845 makes two immediate attempts to remove a Windows DACL dump, then drops its path after a warning. If a handle blocks both attempts, the file remains after the handle closes. JSON recovery does not recognize that name (jsonFileRecovery.ts:47–59). Backup and staging cleanup also stop after two attempts (safeWriteText.ts:160–181, 810–836, 865–934).
Resolution
Retain cleanup ownership for failed DACL, backup, and staging removals. Retry after blocking handles close and after restart. Protect active writes and recoverable data.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template sections: Related GitHub Issue (Closes #2017), Description, Test Procedure, Pre-Submission Checklist, Visual Snapshots, Videos, Documentation Updates, Additional Notes, and Get in Touch. It explains the change and the review focus. However, the Test Procedure references a spec file (core/task-persistence/tests/TaskHistoryStore.lockKey.spec.ts) that the author later states does not exist, and the description carries long, layered correction sections with conflicting test counts (27 passed in the original text versus 168 passed in the correction). Its Test Procedure also lacks a clean, repeatable command for the current head. The Environment line says Windows 11 and Node 20, while the correction says Node 22.23.4. The description is mostly complete but needs cleanup for reviewers.
Resolution
Rewrite the Test Procedure so it names only spec files that exist at the head. Give one command and one expected result for the current head. Remove the stale 27-passed figure or mark it clearly as historical. Reconcile the Node version and environment lines with the head that was actually tested. Consider moving the multi-round correction history into a separate comment, since the template asks for a summary of the changes and how they solve the linked issue. Also, the Scope checklist item says the PR is one gate scope, but the description also says the diff carries content from earlier units, which reviewers should confirm matches the one-feature-per-PR rule.

…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.
…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.
… 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.

Review comments at
@src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.alias.spec.ts:
- Line 39: Update both shortPathOf and shortSpellingOf to quote the directory in
their Windows short-path probe commands so temp paths containing spaces are
treated as a single directory and produce a valid path result.
- Line 65: Update the probe cleanup around fs.rmSync to retry transient EPERM
and EBUSY errors; if cleanup still fails, return false before registering the
alias tests so they skip instead of failing during module import.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:
- Around line 1643-1645: Update the symlink rejection test for safeWriteText to
use a staging filename that passes the name guard, then assert the file-type
rejection so the test specifically verifies that a validly named symlink is
rejected as non-regular. Keep the change scoped to this test.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Around line 312-318: Update the symlink walk in safeWriteText to reject
exhaustion after eight links instead of returning an intermediate link as the
lock key. Preserve the existing behavior for fully resolved chains, and ensure
callers either receive the complete canonical key or an error.
- Around line 708-712: Update the safeWriteText publication flow around
_restoreDaclWindows so the replacement has the target’s original DACL before it
becomes visible at targetPath. If that DACL cannot be ensured, abort publication
and preserve the existing target rather than publishing with broader access.
- Around line 313-314: Update the symlink-chain walk around absoluteFilePath so
only the established missing-referent condition ends the walk normally;
propagate unexpected readlink errors instead of returning the alias as the lock
key. Preserve the existing behavior for valid chains and genuinely absent
referents.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts:
- Around line 418-420: Create the matcher directory inside the test’s `tempDir`
rather than the system temp directory, so the existing `afterEach` cleanup
removes it on early returns and assertion failures.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts:
- Around line 980-986: Make the directory-open step in the test platform-neutral
by mocking the relevant open operation to return a real file descriptor, so
Windows ACL behavior cannot prevent execution from reaching the injected fsync
failure. Keep the existing fsyncSync mock and cause assertion focused on that
failure.
Review comments at @src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts:
- Around line 18-27: Update getStagedReplacementPrefix and the staging-name
creation path to identify the exact target unambiguously, so recovery for one
JSON file cannot match another file’s staging file. In isReplacementLeftover,
retain cleanup for unambiguous names but exclude ambiguous legacy staging names
from deletion.
Review comments at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:
- Around line 147-150: Update the recovery flow around
recoverInterruptedReplacement so a symlink target is resolved to its referent
even when the referent is temporarily missing; use that referent path for both
locking and locating backups, rather than scanning the alias directory. Preserve
the existing recovery behavior for non-symlink targets.
- Line 197: Update safeWriteJson’s commit flow to keep the caller’s original
alias bound to its resolved target across both commit paths. Revalidate that the
alias still resolves to the same target before publication, and reject the
commit if it changed so the write cannot report success for the old referent.
- Line 197: Bind both commit attempts in the JSON writer to its earlier
`resolvedTargetPath`: update the `safeWriteText` call and helper to accept and
validate that expected target against the path’s entry-time resolution,
rejecting a mismatch. Preserve the existing pre-commit check and apply the same
expected-target validation to both attempts.
- Around line 213-215: Update the EPERM retry path around _streamDataToFile and
_flushFileToDisk to publish the already-staged JSON bytes rather than
serializing data again; ensure the fallback preserves the exact content of the
completed staging file, including when data.toJSON is stateful.
- Around line 212-217: The EPERM fallback in the safe-write flow must preserve
the original target’s access restrictions after the target is moved. Capture the
original mode and Windows DACL before the rename, then carry and apply them to
the replacement created by the second safeWriteText call; use the existing
permission-handling mechanisms and preserve the normal replacement flow.
- Around line 143-150: Update the locked write flow around resolvePublishTarget
and recoverInterruptedReplacement so recovery of an alias’s referent can run
before strict publish-target validation rejects a missing referent. Preserve the
existing rejection behavior when no backup restores the referent, and keep
recovery under the lock.
- Around line 256-258: Update the rollback handling around
actualTempBackupFilePath and fs.rename to recognize PostCommitDurabilityError:
do not restore the backup over the target after publication, and clean up the
backup separately. Preserve rollback for failures that occur before publication.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Limit the diff against the merge base to canonical lock-key changes. Choose one
path:
1. Merge U1 (#1910) to main first. Rebase this branch on the updated main.
Confirm that the diff against the new merge base contains only `resolveLockKey`
and its helpers, the `resolveLockKey` call in `safeWriteJson`, and lock-key
tests.
2. Or, on this branch, remove the publish path: the `safeWriteText` publishing
API, backup, DACL, staging validation, cleanup, warning sink, and the error
classes used only by those paths. Restore the pre-existing `safeWriteJson`
commit, backup, rollback, and durability behavior. Revert the
`jsonFileRecovery.ts` naming change and its tests. Keep only lock-key tests.
In either case, update the PR description so the stated scope, budget, and line
counts match the diff against the merge base.
- Regression Evidence:
Add a lowest-layer test that compares lock keys for unrelated paths and retain
alias coverage. Add a recovery test for sibling basenames with a prefix
collision, and make staging names and matching unambiguous so recovery preserves
the sibling's in-flight file.
- Security Boundaries:
Remove caller-supplied staging paths or use an ownership-safe staging protocol.
Bind the staged file to its creation and protect it from substitution through
the commit.
- Persistence Integrity:
After a post-commit durability failure, preserve the published target and handle
the backup without restoring it over the target. For a dangling symlink, recover
the referent under its canonical lock before applying strict publish-target
validation. Add regression tests for both failure sequences.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Give failed backup, DACL dump, staging-file, and staging-directory cleanup a
durable retry owner. Retry after blocking handles are released and on startup,
while protecting active writes and recoverable data.

Preserve the Windows DACL at publication.
When the target has a restrictive DACL but its directory permits other users to read new files, another user can read the replacement before icacls /restore completes. Ensure the replacement has the original DACL when it is published, and do not publish it if that cannot be ensured.

Not fixed here; left open for the exported-surface owner, with the measurements recorded. The behaviour is live and this head is deliberately weaker than its sibling: at 9f150f5 a failed restore is a warning (safeWriteText.ts:725-733; the comment at :730 quotes the exact 1300 text), where 303af45:709 threw DaclRestoreError. Your remedy - bind the DACL at publication instead of copying it after the rename - means safeWriteText publishing the staging file with the target's descriptor, i.e. a new option on an exported surface that sibling units consume, so it is not this unit's call to take. One measurement for whoever picks it up: on this box icacls /save succeeds unprivileged and icacls … /restore fails with exit 1300 ("Not all privileges or groups referenced are assigned to the caller."), so a row that asserts the restore outcome answers a capability question, not a platform question. The standing ruling is a capability probe inside the test (attempt save+restore on a scratch entry, skip with the reason printed when restore returns 1300), never a platform-name check.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@easonLiangWorldedtech Understood. The DACL exposure remains open for the exported-surface owner. A failed restore can leave the published file with broader access.
For tests that require a real DACL restore, the reported exit 1300 supports a scratch-entry capability probe and a skip with the reason, rather than a platform-name check.
Separately, the saved pre-merge assessment is blocking for scope, staging ownership, and persistence integrity. Please recheck those gates on the current revision before merge.

Answering your two open questions on this thread.
Follow-up issue: yes in substance, and it is recorded rather than duplicated. This token cannot open upstream issues, so the record lives as a comment on the unit tracker, zoo-code#2016 (comment 6741018126), where the DACL-at-publication remedy, the expected-target binding from safeWriteJson.ts:197, and the mode/DACL carry from safeWriteJson.ts:217 are written as one exported-surface decision rather than three separate findings, each with the measurements from this thread attached. The stack owner holds the issue creation.
The capability probe is the right shape and I agree with it as written. A row that asserts a restore outcome here answers a privilege question: on this box icacls /save succeeds unprivileged and icacls /invoke /restore fails at exit 1300 with "Not all privileges or groups referenced are assigned to the caller.", so the row would need to probe the scratch entry first and skip with the reason inside the row, not branch on process.platform. No such row is added by this PR, and this thread's position is unchanged: the restore failure is reported (safeWriteText.ts:795 warns) rather than thrown, deliberately, because throwing would fail every publish on hosts where icacls cannot reapply the saved ACEs.
On the saved pre-merge assessment: those are your own gates, and they are stale by construction. Scope, staging ownership and persistence integrity are CodeRabbit's saved assessments, not part of the six contexts that protect main, and the last saved run of them predates the head you are reviewing. The six required contexts on 5559f1f67097 were read off the payload rather than inferred: check-translations 129166698268, compile 129166698243, knip 129166698383, e2e-mock 129166697677, platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) 129166698750 and platform-unit-test (windows-latest) 129166698324, all completed success. What I cannot do is clear your saved assessment from here; your next pass over the current head re-runs it, and dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push on the Protect Main ruleset dismisses approvals on a push but not a verdict, so the change request stands until that pass.

When a fallback is interrupted after moving a symlink referent to its backup, reader recovery scans the alias directory instead. The read can fail with ENOENT and make saved task history unavailable. Resolve the dangling link and use the referent’s lock and backup path for recovery.

Update the recovery flow around recoverInterruptedReplacement so a symlink

Not fixed here; left open, and flagged as cross-unit. The gap is real and it is wider than the fallback: recoverMissingJsonFile (jsonFileRecovery.ts:57) canonicalizes nothing - it resolves the path and locks the alias - and the staged-replacement scan (jsonFileRecovery.ts:152) walks path.dirname(absoluteFilePath), while the writer's key is canonicalized through resolveLockKey (safeWriteJson.ts:124) and its publish target through resolvePublishTarget. For an alias that means recovery and the writer hold two locks on one file, and the restore lands on the alias path. Closing it means making fileLock and the reader-side recovery take the same canonical key - the fileLock unit's exported surface, not this one. Recorded for the exported-surface owner.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for the clarification. I’ll leave this thread open and treat the reader-side recovery and lock alignment as cross-unit work.
The writer also calls resolvePublishTarget before recovery, so a dangling alias cannot reach the writer’s recovery pass. The follow-up should cover both reader and writer recovery after an interrupted fallback.
Would you like me to open a follow-up issue, or is there an existing issue to link?
The last saved pre-merge gate is blocking on scope, security, and persistence. Those results may be stale; please check them again before merging.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Answering your questions, and confirming your correction.
You are right about the writer.resolvePublishTarget runs before recovery on the writer's path, so the writer's own recovery pass cannot be reached by a dangling alias; the reachable case is the reader's, which is what my cite was for (jsonFileRecovery.ts:57 resolves and locks the alias, :152 walks path.dirname(absoluteFilePath), while the writer's lock key is canonicalised at safeWriteJson.ts:124). A follow-up that covers both sides has to make fileLock and reader-side recovery take the same canonical key, which is the fileLock unit's exported surface.
Follow-up issue: recorded, not duplicated, and one subject rather than two. The token reviewing this PR cannot open upstream issues; the record is comment 6741018126 on zoo-code#2016, where this line's two threads (yours at 02:15:02Z and yours at 02:16:10Z) are written as a single cross-unit item with these cites, alongside the DACL and target-binding items. The stack owner holds issue creation.
On the saved persistence-integrity gate: stale by construction, and not one of the six. It is CodeRabbit's own saved assessment; the six contexts that protect main were all completed success at 5559f1f67097 (check-translations 129166698268, compile 129166698243, knip 129166698383, e2e-mock 129166697677, ubuntu 129166698750, windows 129166698324). Your next pass re-runs your assessment on the current head; a push here dismisses approvals, not this change request.

Preserve the alias through the commit check.
If the caller’s symlink changes during JSON staging, the commit can update the old referent and report success while the caller’s path still contains the old data. Bind the original alias and its resolved target to both commit paths, and reject a changed target before publication.

Update safeWriteJson’s commit flow to keep the caller’s original alias bound to
its resolved target across both commit paths. Revalidate that the alias still
resolves to the same target before publication, and reject the commit if it
changed so the write cannot report success for the old referent.

Bind the commit to the JSON writer’s resolved target.
If the resolved target becomes a symlink to a sibling during streaming, safeWriteText can overwrite that sibling with data merged from the original target, without holding the sibling’s lock. The helper already receives resolvedTargetPath, but it resolves that path again.
Pass the earlier resolution as an expected target and have safeWriteText reject a different entry-time resolution. Keep its pre-commit check and apply the expected target to both commit attempts.

Not fixed here; left open. safeWriteText re-resolves its own publish target and rejects drift between its own two resolutions, so a target that becomes a symlink to a sibling between the strict resolution at safeWriteJson.ts:143 and the commit at :197 is committed to the sibling rather than rejected: the caller's resolvedTargetPath is passed as a path, not as a binding, and nothing compares it with safeWriteText's own answer. Binding them means an "already resolved - commit exactly here" option on the exported surface (the same surface the DACL and mode threads are arguing about), so it belongs to the exported-surface owner. Left open.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Understood. The supplied code passes resolvedTargetPath as a path, not as an expected-target binding. I’ll leave the finding open for the exported-surface owner.

Answering your question: no new issue from this side, because there is nothing this side can decide.
The binding you describe - pass resolvedTargetPath down as "commit exactly here" and reject a target that no longer matches it - is an option on safeWriteText's exported surface, the same surface the DACL-at-publication item (safeWriteText.ts:789) and the mode/DACL carry item (safeWriteJson.ts:217) are arguing about. Three findings, one owner decision, recorded once as comment 6741018126 on zoo-code#2016 with all three cites, rather than as three issues. This token cannot open upstream issues; the stack owner holds that.
Disposition on this thread is unchanged: deferred to the exported-surface owner, left open.

Preserve access restrictions during the EPERM fallback.
If the fallback succeeds, the second safeWriteText call cannot read the original permissions because the target has moved. The replacement can retain broader staging permissions, exposing task messages or configuration data. Carry the original mode and Windows DACL through the fallback and apply them to the replacement.

The EPERM fallback in the safe-write flow must preserve the original target’s

created by the second safeWriteText call; use the existing permission-handling
mechanisms and preserve the normal replacement flow.

Not fixed here; left open, with the sequence measured. The fallback moves the target before the second write, so that write has nothing to read the mode or the DACL from: the mode read falls into its ENOENT branch and keeps the staging file's own creation mode (safeWriteText.ts:541, against the target-carrying branch at :506), and the win32 DACL save is skipped entirely because fs.access(targetPath) at :577 fails, so no dump exists for the restore at :725. Your remedy - carry mode and DACL explicitly across the fallback - is the same exported-surface option as the DACL and target-binding threads, so it is one owner call rather than three separate ones. Left open with these cites.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@easonLiangWorldedtech Understood. The fallback remains open because the second write cannot recover the original mode or Windows DACL after the target moves. The related permission and target-binding concerns can share one owner decision.

Not fixed here; left open. The re-serialization at safeWriteJson.ts:214 is deliberate rather than incidental: safeWriteText unlinks its staging file when its commit fails, so the bytes are no longer at the path, and the unit streams on purpose (documented at :333) - preserving them means either buffering the whole payload or copying the staging file before the first commit attempt on the happy path. A toJSON whose value changes between serializations is a real cost, but choosing between peak memory and one serialization is this unit's design call, so it is recorded here rather than changed here.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Understood. The EPERM fallback re-serializes the data to preserve streaming efficiency. I acknowledge the trade-off and will leave this thread open.

Not fixed here; left open. Your ordering is right - the strict dangling rejection can fire before any recovery that could have restored the referent has run under the same key - but the fix is the same cross-unit change as the sibling thread on this line: recovery resolves and locks the alias path (jsonFileRecovery.ts:57, :152) while the writer locks the canonical key (safeWriteJson.ts:124), so today recovery for an alias runs under a different lock than the writer that needs it. Deferred to the exported-surface owner rather than half-fixed from this side of the boundary.

Same disposition as the other thread on this line, and the same answer to your question.
Your ordering point stands - the strict dangling rejection can fire before any recovery that could have restored the referent runs under the same key - and the fix is the single cross-unit change already recorded: make fileLock and reader-side recovery use the canonical key the writer uses (safeWriteJson.ts:124), which is fileLock's exported surface, not this unit's. It is written once as comment 6741018126 on zoo-code#2016, covering both of this line's threads, because half-fixing the ordering from the reader side while the writer still holds a different lock would leave two locks on one file and make the sequence harder to reason about, not easier. This token cannot open upstream issues; the stack owner holds that.
On the saved persistence-integrity check: stale by construction. It is CodeRabbit's own assessment, and the six contexts that protect main were completed success at 5559f1f67097 (check-translations 129166698268, compile 129166698243, knip 129166698383, e2e-mock 129166697677, ubuntu 129166698750, windows 129166698324).

…ope leftover names
Review follow-ups from the Zoo-Code-Org#1911 threads, each with a row that fails without the fix:
- resolveLockKey now propagates a readlink failure that names no chain-end code instead
of ending the walk on it (ENOENT and EINVAL are the measured chain-end answers), and an
exhausted 8-link walk rejects instead of naming an arbitrary intermediate link.
- the short-name probe quotes its directory and runs verbatim, so a spaced directory
answers one short path instead of one line per word; the probe cleanup cannot throw out
of the module import; the matcher's scratch tree lives under the suite's own temp dir.
- recovery leftovers must carry the writer's own _<timestamp>_<random>.tmp tail, so a
sibling basename that extends this one (a.json_extra.json beside a.json) keeps its
staging file instead of being unlinked under the wrong lock.
- the EPERM-fallback backup is dropped, not restored, when the failure is
PostCommitDurabilityError: the commit rename already landed the new content at the
target, and renaming the backup back would put the old bytes under an error that says
the new ones are there.
- the symlink staging row uses a convention-conforming name so it pins the link guard
rather than the name guard.
Gates (pinned node 22.23.4, src worktree): vitest 163 passed / 1 skipped across the six
file-safety and json-write suites; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean; prettier --check clean;
tsc --noEmit unchanged from the donor-install baseline.
…-only backup is still recoverable
The platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) arm went red at 9f150f5 on my own change. Its annotation reads "command (/home/runner/work/Zoo-Code/Zoo-Code/src) .../pnpm run test:coverage:core exited (1)" (check run 128966094221); the platform-unit-test (windows-latest) run 128966094415 was cancelled by fail-fast and carries no verdict of its own. Reproducing the expanded script locally (vitest run --config vitest.core.config.ts --coverage) reproduced it deterministically at that head: exit 1, "Tests 1 failed | 4233 passed | 9 skipped", failing row core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.realConcurrency.spec.ts > "preserves a recovered record instead of overwriting it during legacy migration", which plants .history_item.json.bak_1.tmp and expects migration to recover it. The same spec passes at the parent d29b7a3 (exit 0, 12 passed), and reverting only src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts to the parent version at this head makes it pass too (12 passed), so the cause is mine: the tail I required for every prefix, ^\d+_[^_]+\.tmp$, dropped the timestamp-only backup names that predate the random token.
Scope the tail by what each prefix already pins. The dot-anchored prefixes .<basename>.new_ and .<basename>.bak_ carry the basename behind a literal dot, so a timestamp alone identifies the name and the token stays optional. The underscore-anchored staged prefix .new_<basename>_ is not scoped by its prefix alone - a.json_extra.json beside a.json stages .new_a.json_extra_<ts>_<rand>.tmp, which starts with .new_a.json_ and belongs to a writer holding only the sibling's lock - so only the full <ts>_<rand>.tmp tail attributes a staged-looking name there.
Proof rows: jsonFileRecovery.test.ts adds "collects a timestamp-only backup name under the dot-anchored prefix" (fails with a uniform strict tail: 1 failed / 17 passed) and "does not collect a staged-looking name that lacks the token" (fails with a uniform relaxed tail: 1 failed / 17 passed). The coverage command on the fixed tree: run 3 exit 0, "196 passed (196)", "4234 passed | 9 skipped", no failing file; run 4 exit 1 with the same 196 files and 4234 tests passing and 1 unhandled EnvironmentTeardownError ("[vitest-worker]: Closing rpc while onUserConsoleLog was pending", originating in core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.spec.ts). That teardown error is the shard's own flake, independent of this fix: 12 occurrences at the previous head, 0 in the second run there, 0 in run 3 and 1 in run 4 here, and it flips the exit code with zero failing tests.
…me, and key the link's real parent
The platform-unit-test (windows-latest) arm went red at d949cab on a row I added. Its annotation reads "command (D:\a\Zoo-Code\Zoo-Code\src) ...pnpm.CMD run test:misc exited (1)" (check run 128970617896) and the job prints one failing row: utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts > "does not restore the fallback backup over a commit that landed", with "expected Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, fs... to be Error: EIO directory fsync" at safeWriteJson.test.ts:1041 and the lane summary "Test Files 1 failed | 118 passed | 1 skipped (120)", "Tests 1 failed | 2115 passed | 14 skipped (2130)". No test failed on the ubuntu arm of this head: it was cancelled as fail-fast collateral ("The strategy configuration was canceled because \"unit-test.windows-latest_windows-l\" failed"), so windows carries the only verdict.
The injection decided "the commit rename landed" by comparing the rename destination with the path the test built. safeWriteText commits onto its re-resolved publish target, and when the temp directory is reached through a link - which is how the windows-latest runner reports its temp path - that destination is the resolved directory, not the literal spelling. The flag never fired, so fsyncSync's injected failure never ran, the real parent-directory fsync ran instead, and on a read-only handle that is EPERM on Windows - the same reason safeWriteText opens its backup with "r+". Recognise the commit rename by what it lands on (the target's basename, which neither the staging name nor the backup name carries) instead of by path identity.
Measured reproduction, same tree, same interpreter (node 22.23.4), only the temp path changed: with the temp directory reached through a junction the row fails exactly as CI reports - exit 1, "Tests 1 failed | 44 passed | 1 skipped (46)" - and passes after this change ("45 passed | 1 skipped"); on a plain temp path it passed both before and after, which is why my local gate set was green. The misc lane on the fixed tree: exit 0, "118 passed | 1 skipped (119)", "2112 passed | 14 skipped (2126)".
Three rows carry the lock-key family that the sibling unit's review raised on the same primitive: keys a relative referent through the link's real parent (under a symlinked directory `..` names the referent's parent, so the lexical join keyed a different file and the two writers held two locks); refuses a lock key when an ancestor exists but cannot be canonicalized (a swallowed realpath failure handed back the literal spelling, a key no other writer uses); keys the same file the same way before and after its parent directory appears (missing components are walked over and re-joined onto the nearest ancestor that exists, so the writer that arrives before the mkdir and the one that arrives after take one lock). Without the two canonicalDirKey/resolveLockKey changes those three rows fail (3 failed | 6 passed); with them the suite is 9 passed.

EIGHT_THREE_NAMES_ARE_GENERATED so alias availability is established
independently of the shortPathOf capability probe; retain skipping on hosts
without aliases, but ensure a quoting regression that makes shortPathOf return
null cannot skip the test coverage, using an independent alias check or
command-construction check.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Around line 343-345: Update the link-walking boundary in the safeWriteJson
path so an eight-link chain checks the terminal path once more, while still
rejecting a ninth link. Adjust the boundary and cycle tests to verify both
behaviors.
- Around line 357-360: Update the parent resolution before `canonicalDirKey` so
`fs.realpath` errors other than `ENOENT` propagate instead of falling back to
`path.dirname(key)`. Preserve the existing `ENOENT` behavior and ensure the lock
key is chosen only after applying that error distinction.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts:
- Around line 1043-1047: Update the test setup around the `fsyncSync` spy to

… always stage a named token
resolveLockKey propagated a resolution error only out of the first
canonicalisation: a relative referent whose link parent answered EACCES was joined
onto the spelled parent, keying this writer where no writer that reached the referent
keys - two locks for one file. Only a parent that is not there (ENOENT) may fall back
to that join now.
The bounded walk also rejected a chain that landed on the file exactly at its bound,
so a peer that renames the referent away mid-EPERM-fallback made the write fail where
waiting for it would have committed. The bound now checks the terminal path once and
still rejects a ninth link; the cycle row's read count moves from 8 to 9 because the
ninth read is the terminal check that bounds it.
createStagingFilePath and createBackupFilePath took their token from
Math.random().toString(36).substring(2), which answers the empty string when
Math.random() answers 0 (measured with node 22.23.4): the name ended
`_<timestamp>_.tmp`, the one tail jsonFileRecovery cannot collect on the
underscore-anchored prefix, where the token is the only thing that attributes the name
to this target. Both writers guarantee a non-empty token now, and the dot-anchored
pattern still accepts a token-less tail because a leftover written before the
guarantee is not distinguishable from one written after it.
safeWriteText.alias.spec.ts gated every alias row on its own capability probe, so a
cmd command that quoted the directory badly answered null for the probe and skipped
the file instead of failing it; one row now asks cmd about its own directory.

… and let afterEach clean the token row
- jsonFileRecovery.test.ts: with the target missing, the empty-token backup must be what the reader returns, not merely a name the scanner is willing to unlink.
- safeWriteJson.test.ts: pin the EPERM fallback's backup name to the same non-empty-token guarantee the staging name has; the mock's rename history survives between tests, so it is cleared before the write.
- safeWriteJson.test.ts: the token row writes into the suite's own tempDir, which afterEach removes whatever happens, and restores the Math.random spy in a finally block.
Tests only, so the gate's changed-line count is unchanged. Pinned node v22.23.4: both suites pass (68 passed, 1 skipped). Two revert controls discriminate: tightening ANCHORED_LEFTOVER_TAIL fails the two dot-anchored collection rows plus the new restore row; removing the empty-token stand-in from createBackupFilePath fails only the new backup row.

…ized
rename has no conditional form, so the pathname re-check above it cannot bind an authorization made
outside this module: the path can become a link, or a different file, between the re-check and the
commit. When SafeWriteTextOptions.authorizedTarget carries the dev/ino the caller authorized, the
commit step now refuses unless the target still has that identity, which narrows the window to the
stat-plus-rename pair - it does not close it, because no OS primitive renames only if the identity
is unchanged. A failure to read the identity counts as "not that file", so the guard fails closed.
Answers PRRT_kwDOSK-bwM609gmQ (CodeRabbit row on Zoo-Code-Org#1917 at guardedWrite.ts:230), landing in Zoo-Code-Org#1911 as
ruled. Pinned interpreter v22.23.4: tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json exit 0 with 0 error lines; eslint
--prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exit 0 with src/eslint-suppressions.json deep-unchanged (265
entries, 0 differing); prettier 3.9.10 --check exit 0; the six suites that cover this file pass.
Gate at this head against merge-base 73931fe with --unified=0: 496 of 500 counted executable
lines (411 to 416 in this file), i.e. +5 as an increment over 1910's head after a rebase.
…about a recycled inode
The ubuntu platform-unit-test failed on the row this commit replaces: unlinking the target and writing a
different file to the same pathname passed on Windows and failed on the runner, because the inode the
filesystem had just released came back, so the swapped-in file answered with the identity the write had
been authorized and the guard accepted it. Whether an inode number is reused is a property of the
filesystem, not of this guard, so the row now compares against the identity of a second live file in the
same directory - two files that are not hard links of each other cannot share an inode - and asserts that
neither file was published over.
Test-only: safeWriteText.ts is untouched, so the mutation gate's counted-line total stays 496 of 500 at
base 73931fe with --unified=0, which is what CI prints. Verified with the pinned interpreter
v22.23.4: the identity suite passes standalone (3 rows), the alias suite passes standalone (4 rows),
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exits 0 and prettier --check exits 0.

On NTFS, two file IDs can round to the same number. If one file replaces the authorized target, this guard can accept it and overwrite it. Use bigint identities for both authorizedTarget and the commit-time stat, and update the callers and tests.

756:
Update the `authorizedTarget` identity check in `safeWriteText` to compare
full-precision bigint device and inode values from both the authorized target
and commit-time stat, avoiding numeric rounding on NTFS. Update the callers that
create `authorizedTarget` and the related tests to use and verify bigint
identities while preserving the existing identity-mismatch rejection.

Fixed in code, at 2e79e37ac0e7 on origin fws/u2-lock-key. Disposition: fixed here rather than deferred, because the spelling is free right now and will not be free later.
authorizedTarget is now { dev: bigint; ino: bigint } and the guard reads the target with fs.stat(targetPath, { bigint: true }) (safeWriteText.ts:23, :752-equivalent in the guard block). The reason it has to be the capture and not the comparison is yours: the loss happens when Node converts the 64-bit NTFS file id to a double, so by the time a number is in hand the bits are gone and no comparison can recover them. BigInt(number) would dress the rounding up, not undo it.
Two measurements, one for each side of the argument.
Why it is free now: the option has no production caller in this tree. The uncapped search for authorizedTarget at 5559f1f67097 returns 7 hits - the declaration, the three lines of the guard, and the three rows in safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts - and nothing else; the authorizedTarget identifier in guardedWrite.ts at 1917's head is a string | undefined, a different thing under the same name. So there were no callers to update, which is the only reason a type change on an exported option is cheap. The moment a sibling unit starts handing identities in, it is not.
Why no row here claims to prove the collision: on this box's NTFS volume, three real identities read back as 281474990289684, 4503599627490809 and 5629499534337367 - all below 2**53 (9007199254740992), so rounding is lossless here and a test written on this volume would pass whether or not the fix were correct. The rows are updated to read bigint identities; none of them asserts anything about rounding, and the comment on the option says so rather than letting a reader infer it.
Cost, with its base beside it: the unit is 496 of 500 counted executable lines at base 73931fe8be253b93ec11103a0672c615e849f895 with base...head and --unified=0 on the prettier-formatted tree, measured with node v22.23.4 - the same 496 it was before this commit, because the option line is type-only and the explanation is comments. That is why this one could be taken and the three exported-surface items above could not.
Verification before the push, all pinned node v22.23.4 with stdio on file descriptors: services/file-safety plus utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts - 4 files, 133 passed, 1 skipped (the 0o600 mode row, test.skipIf on win32, unchanged); tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json in src - 0 errors; eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 - 0 on both files, and its rewrite of src/eslint-suppressions.json reverted so the commit carries no suppression churn; prettier --check clean on both, format before measure. The project's own pre-push (tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit && turbo check-types) ran at push and exited 0; it runs on pnpm 10.8.1's bundled node v25.9.0 (the workflow's own engine warning in the payload says wanted: {"node":"22.23.4"}, current: v25.9.0), on 10 cached check-types tasks plus a fresh zoo-code:check-types. That is the weaker of the two statements available here - the pinned v22.23.4 run above is the stronger one - so both are named rather than only the flattering one.
This push re-triggers your pass over the new head. Under dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push it dismisses approvals, not this change request, so the verdict is yours to re-issue or clear on the new head.

Rate Limit Exceeded
@easonLiangWorldedtech have exceeded the limit for the number of chat messages per hour. Please wait 13 minutes and 25 seconds before sending another message.
The commit-time guard compared dev and ino as numbers. Both sides came from a plain stat, and a plain
stat hands back a 64-bit NTFS file id rounded to a double: above 2**53 two different files can round to
the same number, and the guard would then accept one for the other, which is exactly the swap it exists
to catch. The lost bits cannot be recovered from the rounded value, so the fix is the capture spelling,
not a smarter comparison: the option is now { dev: bigint; ino: bigint } and the guard reads the target
with fs.stat(targetPath, { bigint: true }).
The option has no production caller in this tree - the only seven mentions of authorizedTarget at
5559f1f are the option declaration, the three guard lines, and the three rows in
safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts - so this is the moment the spelling is free to change, and it is the
last moment it will be free once sibling units start handing identities in. Measured on this box's NTFS
volume, three identities came back as 281474990289684, 4503599627490809 and 5629499534337367, all
below 2**53: this volume cannot exhibit the collision, so no row here asserts the rounding, and the
rows are updated to read bigint identities rather than being asked to prove something the filesystem
will not do for them.
Verification, pinned node v22.23.4 with stdio on file descriptors: services/file-safety with
utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts is 133 passed and 1 skipped (the mode row skipped on win32, as
before) in 4 files; tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json in src reports 0 errors; eslint --prune-suppressions
--max-warnings=0 exits 0 on both touched files and its suppressions rewrite was reverted; prettier
--check is clean on both, and formatting was done before measuring. Gate: 496 of 500 counted
executable lines at base 73931fe with base...head and --unified=0,
against 496 at 5559f1f - a 0-line move, because the type line and the comments are not executable -
measured with v22.23.4.

Review comments at
@src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts:
- Around line 60-63: Add a behavior-focused regression test around
safeWriteText’s commit-time identity check that makes fs.stat fail with EIO and
asserts the write rejects without calling fs.rename. Keep the existing
removed-target test for ENOENT and use the lowest-level harness already present
in safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts.
- Line 47: The identity mismatch test currently relies on filesystem-assigned
inode values; update it to provide controlled, distinct bigint inode values that
convert to the same number, then assert that the write is rejected. Keep the
test focused on the guard’s bigint identity comparison and preserve its existing
mismatch setup.
- Around line 30-32: Extend the safeWriteText identity tests to replace the
authorized file with a different live file at the same path after staging
begins; assert that safeWriteText rejects and the replacement remains unchanged.
Synchronize the replacement with the existing staging mechanism so the test
fails if identity is checked only at call entry.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Limit the diff against the merge base to the lock-key change. Choose one path:
1. Merge U1 (#1910) into main first. Rebase this branch onto the updated main.
Confirm that the diff against the new merge base contains only resolveLockKey
and its helpers, the resolveLockKey call in src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, and the
lock-key tests (src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts and the
lock-key cases in the safeWriteText spec).
2. Or remove the publish path from this branch. Remove the safeWriteText publish
API, backup, DACL, staging validation, cleanup, warning sink, identity guard,
and the error classes used only by those paths. Restore the pre-existing
safeWriteJson commit, backup, rollback, and durability behavior. Revert the
jsonFileRecovery.ts naming change and its tests. Keep only the lock-key code and
tests.
In either case, update the PR description so that the stated scope, budget, line
counts, and review focus match the diff against the merge base 73931fe8be.
- Regression Evidence:
Add a lowest-layer test that verifies unrelated files in the same directory
receive distinct lock keys. Retain the alias and sibling-prefix coverage.
- Security Boundaries:
Use an ownership-safe staging protocol. Prevent symlink substitution before
opening, bind the opened file to the file created by the writer, and protect the
staging path through commit. Alternatively, remove caller-supplied staging
paths. Add regression coverage for substitution before open and before rename.
- Persistence Integrity:
Under the canonical lock, recover an interrupted referent backup before
rejecting a dangling symlink. Make reader recovery find the referent backup and
use the same lock. Add an interruption test that reads and writes through a file
symlink.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Retain cleanup ownership for failed DACL, backup, and staging removals. Retry
after blocking handles close and after restart. Protect active writes and
recoverable data.

Mutation state of this unit, published as a disclosure
Read off the uploaded artifact changed-code-mutation-report (check-run 129185884998 on head 2e79e37ac0e73cee032c5c298834dd0d3b32e321), not off the check conclusion. Its header line is <!-- zoo-code-mutation-report head:2e79e37ac0e73cee032c5c298834dd0d3b32e321 blocking:0 advisories:1 -->, its package list is extension alone, its focused-tests line reads "The mutation run was incomplete; selected test file names were not recorded.", and its only table row is:

Advisory incomplete
The reason is the artifact's own closing line, quoted verbatim:
extension generated 512 mutants in preflight (limit 400). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion.
There are two caps here and they are different instruments. One is the changed-width gate in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:11 (MAX_CHANGED_LINES = 500, which this unit passes at 496). The other is the 400-mutant Stryker preflight limit, which this unit fails: at 496 counted executable lines the extension package generates 512 mutants, so Stryker never starts and the numbers above are the shape of an absent run, not a run with nothing in it. Both numbers carry their base and their accounting in one sentence: 496 counted executable lines at base 73931fe8be253b93ec11103a0672c615e849f895 with base...head and --unified=0 on the prettier-formatted tree, measured with node v22.23.4 — src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts 416, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts 67, src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts 13 — and 512 generated mutants in that run's preflight, against 510 at the previous head 5559f1f67097, so the limit is not a rounding accident: the identity commit added two mutants by adding an argument object to one call.
What this is not. The mutation-diff check-run's conclusion is success. That is a conclusion about the job, not about mutants, and no mutant evidence for this unit exists. This PR is not mutation-clean and re-running CI will not make it so in this shape. The honest published state is: measured width 496 of 500, mutant measurement 0 of anything, preflight 512 of a 400 limit.
What mutant evidence this family does have, each quoted with the commit it was read at so it cannot go stale under a push:
zoo-code#2383 (the rival primitive, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts blob 9701d4b3b688 at head 3edac64036eb6666aa177c7ec502c36d2a7379fb, a different blob from this unit's e4fda9f0c777 at 2e79e37ac0e7): its artifact header reads blocking:86 advisories:1 and extension | 386 | 372 valid | 274 killed | 12 timeout | 78 survived | 8 no coverage, with named survivors in src/utils/fileLock.ts at 61 and 73 and in safeWriteText.ts at 137 and 139. That is the only measured run of a safeWriteText-flavoured writer in this family.
zoo-code#1910 (this family's shipped flavour, safeWriteText.ts blob 2842acbeb817 at head d5c31a1cc9d9d76b12d462cc81d05e079ed301b6): its artifact header reads blocking:59 advisories:0 and extension | 347 | 318 valid | 255 killed | 4 timeout | 57 survived | 2 no coverage, with focused tests recorded.
zoo-code#2384: 11 valid, 11 killed, 0 survived — the family's only mutation-clean statement, and it is about 11 mutants, not about a writer.
The options, stated without recommending one. The annotation offers two: split the PR, or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion. A split is not this lane's plan and is not being proposed here: the only content that could travel without dragging its consumers is safeWriteJson.ts (67) plus jsonFileRecovery.ts (13), and on this unit's own measured ratio (496 lines → 512 mutants, 1.032 per line) the 416-line remainder is estimated at 395–429 generated mutants against the same 400 cap — measurable at best by a hair, unmeasurable at worst — bought at the price of a whole new PR carrying 1,091 spec lines of its own. So the option that keeps this unit's shape is the exclusion, and an exclusion is a maintainer's call, not ours. What we are doing is stating the measurement gap plainly so that nobody downstream reads a green mutation-diff row as mutant evidence for this primitive. And the other half of the honest story: why this unit has no approval either, and why neither fact is a statement about the code. The bot's auto-review is gated on the coderabbit-review-active label, and the reconcile workflow (github-actions[bot], label-pr-review-state.yml:640/657/666) applies that label only once the six required contexts - check-translations, compile, knip, e2e-mock, platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest), platform-unit-test (windows-latest) - have completed without failing. A push moves the head, CI goes pending, reconcile strips the state labels, and the bot's check that fires inside that window comes back completed/skipped by design. I measured exactly that on this family an hour ago: at 13:52:39Z, on eb15d53e9625, four of the six were completed success, ubuntu and windows were still in_progress, the label set was empty, and CodeRabbit's run 129198351045 returned completed/skipped. The pass that can flip a verdict is the one the workflow enables after the six go green, so a second push before that pass lands strips the label again and skips that pass again - which is the arithmetic behind not pushing twice inside one review cycle. On this PR today the label moved to awaiting-coderabbit plus coderabbit-review-active at 12:49:34Z and was stripped and replaced with awaiting-author at 12:59:03Z by the reconcile workflow, and after head 2e79e37ac0e7 went green the same workflow put awaiting-coderabbit plus coderabbit-review-active back at 13:34Z. So: no mutant reading because of the 400-mutant preflight limit, and no approval yet because the review pass is gated on CI state, and neither of those says anything about whether this unit's code is right.
…id-write
The review on safeWriteText.identity.spec.ts asked for a row where the target is replaced between
staging and the commit rename rather than before the call. The seams it needs are already in the
writer: options.platform picks which step runs, and options.execFileRunner is the icacls call that
step makes. platform: "win32" plus an injected runner now swaps the target for a second live file
when icacls is asked to dump its DACL, which is after the temp is staged and before the commit-time
identity check, so the guard fires from a change inside the call and the stranger keeps the pathname
it was swapped in for. The swap renames the target aside instead of unlinking it so the authorized
inode stays allocated - the unlink-and-rewrite shape is the one that agreed with itself on Windows
and disagreed on the ubuntu runner, and a comment in this file records that trap.
The second row reads the same gate from the other side: with the override saying linux the injected
runner is never called. On a Windows host that path ends in PostCommitDurabilityError - fsync on a
read-only handle is EPERM on win32, the same reason the backup fsync above opens its handle r+ - so
the row asserts the seam and the committed content and admits no other error class. The third row
asserts the clean publish and is skipped on win32 for that measured reason: the ubuntu CI arm is the
instrument for it, and that arm's negative control is this same file with the override omitted,
where process.platform is the platform under test rather than a value handed to the writer.
Verification, pinned node v22.23.4 with stdio on file descriptors, run from wt-u2-1911/src through

--prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 exits 0 on the touched file and its suppressions rewrite was
reverted, so src/eslint-suppressions.json is byte-identical with HEAD; prettier --check is clean and
formatting ran before measuring. Gate: 496 of 500 counted executable lines against 73931fe both
before and after this commit - the delta is 103 lines in one spec file and specs charge nothing, and
no production line changed.

If either filesystem operation rejects, the seam never calls finish(). The test can then wait until its timeout and report an unhandled rejection. Settle the callback on failure and expose the swap error to the test; _saveDaclWindows swallows callback errors.

Update the test seam’s asynchronous swap in `seam` to catch failures from either
filesystem operation and call `finish` with the swap error, ensuring the
callback settles on both success and failure. Since `_saveDaclWindows` swallows
callback errors, make the test observe the reported error through its existing
test-side mechanism.

This PR makes the advisory file lock work the way callers already assume it does: the lock key is canonicalised through the symlink referent, so a symlink alias and the file it points to share one lock.
Today two writers that reach the same file through different paths - one through a symlink, one through the real path - take different locks and can overwrite each other. Every writer in the file-write-safety chain picks its lock through this key, so this fix has to land before the guarded writes do.
It is the second of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).

Description
What this PR changes:
Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on
mainand carries its own copy of the earlier unit's content, which the GitHub diff shows as context.Review focus: the lock-key resolution and its spec (the files exercised by step 1 of the Test Procedure).
Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
Expected: 27 passed, 1 skipped (the skipped case is the win32 symlink variant, verified manually). Then
pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0on the touched files - clean. Corrected 2026-11-09 at4b85be99d7: that 27-passed / 1-skipped figure is the lock-key pair at the head this section was written for, and it is kept as evidence of that head. Re-measured at this head (pinned node 22.23.4,src): the six suites this change touches are 168 passed with 1 skipped, the misc lane 2115 passed with 14 skipped, and core with coverage 4234 passed with 9 skipped — all in the dated section at the bottom.Environment: Windows 11, Node 20, unit layer only.

Post-commit durability port (8c8db37)
Port of the U3 durability fix to this unit's copies (identical catch shape):
safeWriteJsonmarks the staged path consumed onPostCommitDurabilityError, andsafeWriteText's failure cleanup removes the staged temp only when the commit never landed (using the committed flag it already tracks). Regression test + two negative controls (each guard off reddens exactly the new test). 80/81 (1 pre-existing skip).CI/review round final head (6d0bc87)
Refreshed onto main
4f1dee18e(merge596f2d398, no conflicts; lint-gate commit drops imports main's side orphaned; format-gate commit reformats two specs for the prettier version main now pins - main also added the.prettierignorethat previously shielded them). Review follow-ups ported from U3 at6d0bc8742: real directory descriptor +causeassertion in the durability test, exact staging-release path assertions. All six required checks green at6d0bc8742.Review round final head (5f93883)
After the durability-probe portability work (
d5a68d13f: the failure is injected by watching the commit rename - the parent-directory fsync is the only fsync after it - so no descriptor is fabricated and the Windows lane passes), CodeRabbit's two new threads are fixed at5f938837b: resolveLockKey now falls back to the link walk only on ENOENT (a transient EACCES/EIO can no longer key a writer to the alias while another keys the referent; regression test with negative control), and the cleanup-safety test restores its spies in a finally block. All six required checks green.Correction and re-verification at head
