fix(task-persistence): delete under the canonical lock key (U9, #1375) - #1917
This PR makes the task-history delete path obey the same lock discipline as every writer: deleteMany() resolves each task id's file through the canonical lock key - so a symlink alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel - takes the per-path file lock before unlinking, and reports per-id failures honestly: failed ids stay in the cache and the store never reports a deletion it did not perform.
This is the last writer in the chain to join the lock discipline. It is the ninth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991), so merging it completes the series.

Closes: #2024 (this unit's tracking issue). Closes: #1375 (epic - the last unit of the chain; the epic closes when this lands).
Refs: #1991 (chain tracking).
Description
What this PR changes:
TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany() resolves each id's file through the canonical key every other writer uses and takes the per-path file lock before unlinking.
Per-id failure accounting: a failed delete is recorded per id, the batch continues, failed ids stay in the cache, and the write-through is skipped when the whole batch failed.
Consistency ports this unit carries: the approved outside-workspace identity binding in guardedWrite (approvedCanonicalTarget, captured before the approval - the guard only compares against it, never against a lookup done at publish time), the workspace-root resolution fix (an unresolvable root is dropped from the allow-list instead of vetoing every write), and failed-batch assertions rewritten to state the contract instead of comparing a live map with itself.
Why the diff looks bigger than the change - per carried file, and why this unit requires it: the chain is non-cumulative: this branch is based on main, where none of the predecessors have landed yet, and the unit's own tests (the new TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts and the ClineProvider delete specs) compile and run against the whole src tree. Every carried file below is byte-identical to the owning unit's head content, is required for this branch to compile and for its own tests to execute, and disappears from this PR's diff when the predecessor merges (merge order: U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9, all predecessors of this unit):

Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
Expected: the delete-path contract (every id reported, entries and files kept when the batch failed, the canonical key used for the lock) plus the reconciliation and concurrency suites.
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.
Every ported test re-measured in this unit's harness, with a negative control.
Visual Snapshot item considered: not applicable (no rendered surface).
Visual Snapshots
Not applicable - the delete-path locking is extension-host internal.
Videos (interaction / animation only)
Not applicable.
Documentation Updates
No user-facing documentation change: the delete path's locking is internal, there is no new setting or surface, and no model-facing text changed. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).
Additional Notes
Budget: own delta 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines - inside both caps. The mutation gate reports the GitHub diff's changed-line count (1407 against the 500 cap) because the unlanded predecessors inflate it; the row clears on rebase after the predecessors merge.
Negative controls measured in this harness: identity comparison dropped -> 2 failed; baseline taken from the post-approval lookup with the caller capture dropped -> 1 failed; missing capture accepted -> 1 failed; failure path evicting the cache and mtime maps -> 3 failed. All restores byte-identical.
taskFileMtimes is populated only by the reconcile path, so an un-reconciled store legitimately has an empty map there; the failed-batch test seeds it before asserting presence.
vitest core/tools + integrations/editor: 916 passed, 5 skipped, 2 failed - both failures donor-junction artifacts of the local harness (DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS resolves from a stale junctioned dist; CI test and compile are green at this head).
ESLint (the CI command, full src) exit 0; suppressions unchanged.
CI at this head: all required checks green; mutation-diff red on the budget-cap count described above (no surviving mutants in this unit's own lines).
Reviewer and maintainer questions are welcome as comments on this PR or on #1991.
Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
writeKind default StringLiteral ("update" -> ""): an empty kind
dispatches exactly like "update" inside guardedWrite - only "edit"
and "create" branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line is
not part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
saveTask operand of the adoption-probe guard (LogicalOperator): GuardRejectedError is only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reached
only after the !saveTask check above has already thrown. Whenever
the operand is evaluated saveTask is provably non-null, so dropping
the operand cannot change which branch is taken.
mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.
Re-review responses (error-fix re-review wave)
Dangling leaf link (Major Security): the canonicalization walk now lstats the lexical leaf when realpath reports ENOENT and refuses
symbolic-link leaves (and unresolvable lstat failures) before authorizing
the write - the publish resolves the name again, so an unchecked referent
could receive the bytes outside the authorized container. Genuinely missing
leaves keep the existing create path. Regression test asserts the guard
rejects before the publish is reached.
The leaf-link refusal described in the previous round's section now
lands on this branch: the guarded write lstats the lexical leaf before
publishing and refuses a symbolic link that does not resolve, so the
publish can never follow a referent the check did not authorize. The
commit is byte-identical to the copy that first landed on the U7 branch;
negative control: removing the check reddens exactly the dangling-symlink
test. 67/67 green at this head.
Out of Scope Changes disposition (timing, not necessity). The row
lists predecessor-unit implementation (observation tracking, read
completeness, indentation clipping, DiffViewProvider teardown) that U9
does not require. Every PR in this chain targets main, so each diff
carries the open predecessor units until they merge; the declared merge
order places them all before this PR, after which this diff reduces to
the U9 deletion changes plus the minimal canonical-lock and
approved-identity support the issue requires. Nothing listed is
implemented here for the first time:

registered: the fix lands once at the publish-primitive owner and copies
including this unit's guarded deletion path - reconcile at rebase
(record 6106959976 on issue 1408; tracking 1991).
File reads now distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines.
File edits and writes detect changes since a file was read, with safeguards for partial reads.
JSON writes can be restricted to a specified directory.
Bug Fixes
File updates are published atomically while preserving existing permissions.
Writes through symlink aliases use consistent locking and update the resolved file.
Failed task-history deletions retain affected items while batch deletion continues for other items.
Rejected file edits no longer leave unintended changes in the editor buffer.
File-save failures clean up temporary files while preserving committed content when a post-save durability check fails.
Outside-workspace writes are checked against the approved target before publishing.
The PR adds task-scoped file observations and guarded writes for tools and editor saves. It updates text and JSON publication to use resolved targets and lock keys. Task-history deletion now validates removal, keeps state on failure, and reports failed IDs in batch deletes.

Summary
Record file observations src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, related tests
Tasks now hold independent observation registries. Read paths record version tokens only when pre-read and post-read stats match. Observations carry completeness, and indentation reads now report clipped lines.
Guarded write core src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, related tests
The guard now selects create, update, or edit rules. It checks observations, versions, workspace containment, and approved target identity. It serializes writes per path and refreshes observations after publish.

Deletion uses resolved locks and checks for recoverable leftovers before confirming absence. Failed IDs keep cache entries. The provider cleans artifacts for successfully deleted IDs and rethrows partial failures.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1991 — It tracks the guarded-write chain and the canonical-lock decision for task-history delete. This PR changes task-history deletion to use the canonical lock key.

Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2136 — It changes JSON replacement and lock handling. This PR also removes replacement leftovers under the task-file lock during task-history deletion.
Merge Risk: High · up to d82d6
Do not merge as-is: file publication can still escape the authorized target during path replacement, and default patch moves can overwrite unread destinations. JSON recovery and permission safeguards also need correction. The remaining test gaps are secondary to these concrete failures.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🟡 Moderate · up to e787e
Version checks and canonical locking improve write safety, but atomic replacement can weaken existing Windows file permissions. Permissions are restored only after publication, and restoration failures are ignored. In directories accessible to other accounts, a previously restricted file could become readable or writable by those accounts.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: New atomic text publication does not preserve Windows access restrictions throughout the transition. The replacement file is renamed into place before the original DACL is restored. Failed DACL capture skips restoration, and failed restoration is swallowed. If staging inherits broader permissions than the original target, other local or shared-directory principals can gain read or write access during this window; interruption or restoration failure can leave that exposure persistent despite a successful return. The merge-base direct-save path wrote the existing file without replacing its security descriptor.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The permission-drift concern reaches existing Windows files published through the shared text primitive, including approved direct tool edits. Its independently attackable scope is the affected files accessible to another principal under the replacement DACL; no remote, cross-tenant, or privilege-escalation reachability was established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — For a target whose explicit DACL is narrower than its directory's inherited permissions, replacement can expose content before restoration. A principal newly permitted by that DACL can read or modify the file without controlling the tool request. Failed restoration can leave the broader access in place; the tests explicitly expect publication to succeed despite capture or restoration failure.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The owning task's observation registry supplies publication authority. The guard rejects absent edit authority, checks cancellation before publication, and compares versions under a canonical advisory lock. Its documented atomicity guarantee applies to writers participating in that lock protocol, not arbitrary external filesystem writers.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Without a prior task observation, ApplyDiff can derive content from one read while the preview records a newer token. The guard can then accept earlier-derived content against that newer token. Existing observations prevent this substitution, and unobserved direct edits reject. The same inter-read overwrite exposure existed in the merge-base unguarded save flow, so it is a remaining limitation rather than an introduced concern.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Make Windows permission preservation a pre-commit requirement: restrict staging before writing sensitive bytes, apply and verify the intended DACL before publication, and abort without replacing the original when that guarantee cannot be established.
proposed — Bind edit publication to the stat-matched read used to derive its content, rather than permitting a later preview read to supply that identity.

Explanation
The title "fix(task-persistence): delete under the canonical lock key (U9, #1375)" names the primary change in the changeset. The raw summary shows TaskHistoryStore delete and deleteMany now resolve the canonical lock key, take the per-path lock, and report per-ID failures. The title also carries a unit label and an epic number, which add noise but do not make it misleading. Length is 70 characters, within the concise range.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is long and detailed. It covers the what, the how, the review focus, test commands, and a checklist. It links an issue (Closes: #2024) and states the test procedure. It does not follow the repository template closely: the template's Visual Snapshots, Videos, and Documentation sections are present but the Pre-Submission Checklist items were reworded and checked as done, and the description contains extra sections (Stryker directive removal, re-review responses, dangling-leaf refusal) that are not in the template. The description also includes a large carried-files table that says much of the diff belongs to predecessor PRs, which makes the scope claim hard to verify from the description alone. The description is substantially complete, so it passes, but the scope and template-conformance issues are worth noting for reviewers.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issues: #2024 and #1375. Both are open. Neither is contextual.
[#2024] Met on whole-PR summary evidence at head d82d63e:
deleteMany() resolves each id through the canonical lock key and takes the per-path lock before unlinking (removeTaskFile).
Per-id accounting: one TaskHistoryDeleteError lists failed ids. The batch continues after a failure. Failed ids keep their cache and taskFileMtimes entries. onWrite runs only when at least one removal succeeded.
guardedWrite takes approvedCanonicalTarget, captured by callers before approval, and rejects when the target no longer resolves to that identity.
Limits: the incremental diff from the previous reviewed head was unavailable. The deleteMany and guardedWrite bodies were not read line by line in this round. This result rests on the summary and the stated contract.
[#1375] Not met by this PR. The description still says "Closes: #1375" and that the epic closes on merge. Items with no change shown in the summary:
Truncated tool-call arguments: no rejection path is shown.
Default artificial write delay: DiffViewProvider.saveChanges and saveDirectly still accept writeDelayMs. The description still names DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS. No removal is shown.
MCP settings truncation (#1371) and abandoned-subtask saves (#1021): no change is shown.
Concurrent-update regression coverage beyond delete (#920) and per-write checkpoint and journal support: no change is shown.
The chain plan may deliver some items in predecessor PRs. The description does not name the owning PR or head commit for each item. Predecessor work is not on main.
Resolution
Choose one option and update the PR description to match:
(1) Change "Closes: #1375" to "Refs: #1375". Remove the statement that merging completes the epic. Assess this PR against #2024 only.
(2) Keep "Closes: #1375". Then add source changes and regression tests for each unmet item above. Alternatively, name the owning PR or head commit that delivers each item, with evidence.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Required by #2024 (in scope): TaskHistoryStore.ts and its deleteSemantics spec; task-persistence/index.ts; ClineProvider.ts and its delete specs; resolveLockKey in safeWriteText.ts; the lock changes in jsonFileRecovery.ts; the approvedCanonicalTarget binding in guardedWrite.ts with its tests.
Not required by #2024 (out of scope as present in this diff):
observationRegistry.ts and spec; the observationRegistry property in Task.ts and Task.dispose.test.ts.
ReadFileTool.ts and spec (observation completeness, clipping, stat-bracketed reads).
indentation-reader.ts and specs (hasClippedLines).
DiffViewProvider.ts and spec (guarded save path, placeholder cleanup, teardown).
safeWriteText.ts beyond resolveLockKey, with its specs and integration spec.
safeWriteJson.ts, its specs, and the postCommitDurability spec (confinement, directory fsync).
The rest of guardedWrite.ts (FIFO queue, version tokens, createIfAbsent, replaceIfVersion) and its spec.
Tool wiring in ApplyDiffTool, ApplyPatchTool, EditFileTool, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool, WriteToFileTool, and their specs.
The dangling-leaf refusal from the re-review round. It hardens leaf-symlink handling. #2024 requires the identity binding, not this refusal.
Removal of two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save path. The cited basis is AGENTS.md and equivalence notes, not #2024.
The timing argument (predecessors not yet merged) does not remove these lines from the diff against main. The description states that the carried files are needed to compile and to run the delete tests. It names no import or test that fails without each file. It states that the observation registry is imported by the carried guard, but it does not name that import. This claim is not demonstrated.
Checklist mismatch: the description states src/eslint-suppressions.json is unchanged. The summary shows a suppression count change for readFileTool.spec.ts from 96 to 94.
Resolution
Rebase this branch after U1 to U8 merge into main. Then the diff must reduce to the delete-path files plus the minimal canonical-lock and approved-identity support.
Until then, do one of the following:
Remove the out-of-scope files listed above, with their specs, from this branch. Move them to their owning unit PRs.
For each carried file that must remain, cite the specific import or test that fails without it.
Also:
Restore the two Stryker suppression comments, or move their removal to the owning unit.
Remove the dangling-leaf refusal from this PR, or show that #2024 requires it.
Correct the eslint-suppressions checklist entry, or remove the count change from this PR.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The workspace allowlist bypass remains. In added src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:208-230, the guard checks that /workspace/sub/new.txt is absent before calling the publisher. If another actor replaces sub with a symlink to an outside directory after that check, src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:168-181,273-274,530 resolves the path again and can overwrite an outside file. The advisory lock does not pin the directory. guardedWrite.spec.ts:39-42 mocks the publisher, and the real-publisher integration tests do not cover this swap.
Resolution
Bind authorization and publication to the same filesystem target using directory handles and no-follow operations, or an equivalent atomic mechanism. Add a real-publisher regression test that swaps an ancestor after validation and verifies rejection or publication only to the authorized target.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
Two changed deletion paths can lose persisted state. - TaskHistoryStore.ts:563–579 deletes the referent's recovery backups but unlinks the named symlink. If an interrupted replacement left the only committed copy in a backup, deleting the alias destroys that copy. - TaskHistoryStore.ts:330–346, 390–434 releases the first file lock before deleteJsonFile takes another. A separate store can publish between those acquisitions. The second deletion then removes the new state. The store lock is per instance.
Resolution
Perform each deletion under one file-lock acquisition. Preserve or recover the referent's backups when deleting a symlink. Add regression tests for both scenarios.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The under-lock confinement rejection has no focused regression test. safeWriteJson.ts:251-266 rechecks the resolved target after locking, but the confinement tests use stable targets. The under-lock rejection test in safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts:114-151 does not set confineTo.
Resolution
Add a utility-layer test that changes an in-scope target or symlink to an outside referent after lock acquisition. Assert ConfinedPathEscapeError, lock release, and no staging, backup, rename, or outside write.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The watcher leak remains. If disposal occurs while safeWriteText is pending, Task.disposeOnce() disposes the tracker and starts diff teardown. The new saveChanges() return at DiffViewProvider.ts:726-727 resolves normally, so EditTool.ts:238-249 continues to trackFileContext. FileContextTracker.ts:81-91 can then create a watcher after disposal, with no later cleanup. The provider test covers the return but not the tool caller or tracker.
Resolution
Return an explicit cancellation result and stop post-save work in all save callers. Make tracker disposal final, including for pending tracking operations. Add a regression test for disposal during publication.

Confirmed — this is the same defect as the other three fsync threads, not four separate ones.
The rollback in the catch ran whenever backup mode had renamed target -> backup, including when the failure happened after the commit rename had already published. PostCommitDurabilityError tells the caller the content is at the target path, but the catch had already renamed the backup back over that target, so the error message and the file disagreed.
Fixed in the unit that owns the publish path, #1910, commit 58f803ddb: a committed flag is set immediately after the commit rename and the rollback is skipped once it is set, so only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup.
Regression test at the lowest layer that would have failed (commit rename succeeds, post-commit directory open fails, backup mode on): fails without the guard, passes with it. This unit carries the same copy of safeWriteText.ts, so it inherits the fix once #1910 merges first in the chain order U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9.
Not applicable at this head. Line 109 already reads const complete = prior?.complete === true && prior.version === preReadToken, so an internal read grants full-file authority only when a prior observation was complete and its version matches; otherwise it records false. No change needed.
Not applicable at this head. This unit does not remove || this.isPaused; it adds it. The diff is - if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0) -> + if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0 || this.isPaused), so a paused task does not fall through to the noToolsUsed() retry.
Zoo-Code-Org#1917 row 4504887171 (src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts:459 at c4bd9a2).
The sweep under the lock reads the directory of the lock key, which is the directory the name
resolves to, and the ENOENT branch returned "absent" from that read alone. The directory's
answer and the name's answer are different questions when the name is an alias: the directory
a name resolves to can disappear while the name the caller passed is still on disk, and
reporting a deletion there evicts a served item whose file the next read still finds.
The branch now asks the named path the way _verdictAfterLockFailure already does (the same
file's :555 in this head): lstat does not follow a symlink, so the name reports itself rather
than the directory it was resolved through. Present gives a new named-present outcome, another
errno gives named-uncheckable with the stage named, and only an ENOENT from the name itself
closes the deletion as absent. Both new outcomes reach the caller as not-deleted, because no
observation in this removal says the file went away.
Two cases in TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts: the sweep directory gone with the named
file still on disk (name asked, item kept, unlink never called with it), and the sweep directory
gone with the name unreadable (reason names this read, item kept). With the component reverted
to ae4cfcb exactly those two fail - the old branch reports the deletion complete - and the
other 33 pass; the component was restored byte-for-byte afterwards. Measured on the pinned
runtime v22.23.4: 35 passed (35) in the focused spec, tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json clean, eslint
--max-warnings=0 clean on both touched files, prettier clean, eslint-suppressions unchanged at
265 files / 2868 entries.
… writes it
Zoo-Code-Org#1917 rows 4504889852 (:239) and 4504928701 (:368) at c4bd9a2. Test-only.
Both cases compared a snapshot of taskFileMtimes taken before the delete against the map after
it. taskFileMtimes.set appears once in TaskHistoryStore - in reconcile (its :834 in this head),
which is the external-change detection path - and neither case ran it, so the map was empty in
both: the readdir-failure case asserted has(id) against a snapshot that had never been true,
and the stale-lock certification case asserted the entry was evicted by a map that never held
it. Both comparisons were false against false, which is why a change that stopped evicting the
mtime record would have passed them.
Each case now runs store.reconcile() while the task file is present - reconcile is the only
writer of that map and it does not write through, so onWrite stays untouched - and asserts that
the seeding took hold before the delete is attempted. The existing comparisons then say what
they were meant to say: a failed delete leaves the seeded record, a certified delete evicts it.
Measured on the pinned runtime v22.23.4. Removing the reconcile() calls makes both cases fail
with 'expected false to be true'. Removing the eviction this test now depends on
(TaskHistoryStore.ts:334, the delete path's taskFileMtimes.delete) makes the stale-lock case
fail with 'expected true to be false'; the component was restored byte-for-byte afterwards. 35
passed (35) in the focused spec, tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json clean, eslint --max-warnings=0
clean, prettier clean, eslint-suppressions unchanged at 265 files / 2868 entries.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
getTaskFilePath is awaited outside removeTaskFile's error handling. If storage-path resolution rejects, deleteMany aborts instead of recording that ID's failure and attempting the remaining IDs.
The caller receives an unstructured error, later IDs are not attempted, and the provider's TaskHistoryDeleteError-based partial cleanup is bypassed.
This can occur when: getStorageBasePath rejects during one removal, potentially after earlier IDs have already been deleted.

Require regression coverage at the lowest valid harness with behavior-focused assertions, including relevant negative, error, false/unset, and boundary cases.
The revalidation inside the locked removal was an unguarded call, and
withFileLock rethrows an operation error unchanged, so a resolveLockKey
failure after the lock was taken landed in the lock catch and came back
as a lock that could not be taken although the acquisition had succeeded.
The directory read in the same callback already returns its verdict rather
than throwing for exactly this reason; the revalidation had not been given
the same treatment, and the two stages were indistinguishable in the
report.
Reporting only. The removal still refuses, the item still stays in the
store, and only the named stage differs: a reason that reports a failed
acquisition while the lock is held is a wrong statement about the world,
not a different outcome.
Verification at this change (node v22.23.4):
- focused deleteSemantics spec: 36 passed (36), including the new case that
drives a realpath failure only after the acquisition and asserts the
reason names the re-derivation and not the acquisition
- negative control: production file restored byte-for-byte from
adb8187 with the new case kept - 1 failed | 35 passed; the file was
written back and compared equal afterwards, no stash used
- eslint --max-warnings=0 on both files: clean; eslint-suppressions.json
unchanged and not dirty
- tsc --noEmit -p src/tsconfig.json: clean; prettier --check: clean

…h spellings
The asymmetry this closes: the removal path re-derives the lock key inside the lock
it already holds and refuses a mismatch (the revalidation in removeTaskFile, lines
478-480 of adb8187), while the certification path - the retry that turns an
observation of absence made outside the lock into a verdict - never re-derived it.
It acquired the key computed before the first attempt and trusted that key for the
whole scan. A name that retargets in that window leaves the retry holding the key of
a location the writer has moved away from: the lstat and the sibling scans read
directories no writer is using, and a publish onto the new target lands after the
deletion has been reported and the item evicted. Stating the rule on the removal
side only is what let the other half drift; both paths now ask the name under the
lock they hold.
The scan guard moves from comparing directories to comparing spellings. Recovery
copies are named after the target basename, so an alias that links to a differently
named file in its own directory - where the directories match and only the basenames
differ - got one scan against the alias basename, found nothing recoverable,
certified the deletion, and left a copy that a later recovery pass restores over a
task the store had already reported gone. Two scans now run whenever the two
spellings differ, and collapse into one only when both spellings name the same file.
Verification at this change (node v22.23.4):
- focused deleteSemantics spec: 38 passed (38), including a same-directory alias
beside a referent-named .bak_ copy, and a name that moves from A to B between the
refused acquisition and the retry that holds the A key
- negative control: production file restored byte-for-byte from 25e4fb8 with both
new cases kept - 2 failed | 36 passed; written back and compared equal afterwards,
no stash used
- eslint --max-warnings=0 on both files: clean; eslint-suppressions.json unchanged
- tsc --noEmit -p src/tsconfig.json: clean; prettier --check: clean
Answers the certification rows on PR 1917: the lock key that was never re-derived
under the retry lock, and the scan that missed a referent-named leftover standing
beside the name it was asked about.
…er a removal
A batch can attempt one id twice, and the last attempt decides the report. When the
first attempt removed the file and a peer republished it before the second attempt,
the second attempt evicted the served entry, recorded the failure, and then wrote
through and threw a TaskHistoryDeleteError naming that same id - so the payload sent
to state, the cache, and the error each omitted the task the error told the caller to
keep, and the promise that a failed id stays in the store was contradicted by the
batch that made it.
Each successful attempt now snapshots what it evicts - the entry and the mtime record -
and a later attempt of that id that fails puts both back before the write-through and
the throw. Nothing else about the batch changes: the same ids are reported, the same
single write-through runs, and an id whose last attempt succeeded is still reported
as deleted with its entry gone.
Verification at this change (node v22.23.4):
- focused deleteSemantics spec: 39 passed (39), including a batch of one id twice where
the peer republishes between the attempts and the second attempt cannot take the
lock: the id is named once, the file and the served entry are both back, and the one
write-through payload contains the id the error names
- task-persistence directory: 13 files, 237 passed (237)
- negative control: production file restored byte-for-byte from bc352ea with the new
case kept - 1 failed (expected false to be true) | 38 passed; written back and
compared equal afterwards, no stash used
- eslint --max-warnings=0 on both files: clean; eslint-suppressions.json unchanged
- tsc --noEmit -p src/tsconfig.json: clean; prettier --check: clean

entry and its write-through payload.

the held lock
AssertionError: expected undefined to be an instance of TaskHistoryDeleteError
Test Files 1 failed | 199 passed (200) :: Tests 1 failed | 4426 passed | 9 skipped
The case forced its realpath failure by matching the directory the name was built from.
On that runner the temp directory's canonical spelling and the spelling the path was built
from are not the same string - the file resolves to the canonical one - so the predicate
never matched inside the lock, the re-derivation succeeded, and the delete resolved: the
case was green locally by testing the spelling of one machine.
The injection now marks the locked operation itself and refuses the first realpath made
inside it, which is the re-derivation and nothing else in that operation, and it names no
path spelling at all; the case asserts that the refusal happened, so a run that never
reached the re-derivation cannot pass by doing nothing. The same-directory alias case gets
the same treatment from the other side: its store is built on the canonical spelling of the
temp directory, so the unrelated difference between two directory spellings cannot hand the
scan its second pass, and only a different basename beside the name can produce one.

Reject certification when the retry uses an obsolete key.
If an ancestor alias moves and the old lock directory disappears, the retry can report success without checking the new location. If cleanup cannot acquire the new lock, a later reconciliation can restore its backup. Revalidate the key before certifying deletion on this path.

At 6093d2a07: the retry asks the name again under the lock it already holds (TaskHistoryStore.ts:782), refuses when the answer does not resolve (:783-789, with the reason naming the re-derivation failure and carrying its error code) and refuses when the answer is a different key (:790-796). All of that runs before the named-path lstat and the backup reads at :797+, so the retry cannot report success from directories the writer has left. The comment at :774-779 records why this half needed the same rule the removal path already had.
Pinned by tests, not just by reading: refuses the certification when the name retargets while its retry lock is held (__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts:779), names the re-derivation when the lock key cannot be resolved under the held lock (:274), and the removal-side counterpart refuses the removal when the name retargets while its lock is being taken (:725).
On the second half of the row: because the refusal happens before the cleanup reads, this path declares nothing deleted and leaves the entry in the store, so the reconciliation you mention is working on a retained entry - which is the state the store promised - rather than recovering a backup of something this deletion had already called gone.

…d success
deleteMany() snapshots what each successful attempt serves away so that a later
attempt of the same id that fails can put back exactly what was there rather
than what a recovery pass would guess. That write was unconditional, and a
duplicate id can succeed more than once: the second success finds nothing left
in the cache to serve, so it stored an empty snapshot over the one holding the
entry and its mtime. A third attempt that then could not take the lock reported
the id as failed - which the batch's contract reads as retained - while the
cache and the write-through payload both omitted it. That is the same split
between the report and the state the restore path exists to close, reached by
an overwrite instead of by a missing restore.
Only an attempt that actually served something may replace the snapshot, so a
confirm-absence success leaves a held entry and mtime alone.
Test: keeps the served entry through a second successful attempt of the same id
- three attempts on one id (a removal, a removal of a republished copy, a refused
lock) asserted against the entry and mtime the store served before any of them.
With TaskHistoryStore.ts at 0fae602 and the test kept, it fails with
"expected false to be true" on cache membership; the earlier duplicate-id test
passes with and without this change, so it pins what the fix must not disturb.
The duplicate-id restore test asserted membership: that the cache holds the id,
that an mtime record exists beside it, and that the write-through payload
mentions the id. A restoration that rebuilt the entry with different metadata, or
wrote back a zero mtime, satisfied every one of those.
Capture the entry and the mtime this store serves before the batch runs - as a
copy, because the restoration hands back the very object a plain capture would
have aliased - and compare the restored entry, the restored mtime and the whole
published payload against them. The three-attempt test beside it gets the same
treatment.
Control: with the restore site changed to write a mutated prompt and a zeroed
mtime, both tests fail - 2 failed | 38 passed, each on the deep equality of the
restored entry - and both pass at 60f9c8c, so this pins what the restore must
preserve without changing what it does. Spec-only: no production line moved in
this commit.

Choose one option and update the PR description to match:
(1) Change "Closes: #1375" to "Refs: #1375". Remove the statement that merging
completes the epic. Assess this PR against #2024 only.
(2) Keep "Closes: #1375". Then add source changes and regression tests for

- Out of Scope Changes check:
Rebase this branch after the U1 to U8 units merge into main. Then the diff must

Until then, do one of the following:
- Remove the observation-registry, ReadFileTool, indentation-reader,
DiffViewProvider, safeWriteText (except resolveLockKey), safeWriteJson,
guardedWrite (except the approvedCanonicalTarget binding), and tool-wiring
changes, with their specs. Move them to their owning unit PRs.
- Restore the two Stryker suppression comments, or move their removal to the

- Remove the dangling-leaf refusal from this PR, or show that #2024 requires it.
- Correct the checklist entry for src/eslint-suppressions.json so it matches the
96 to 94 change, or remove that change.
- For each carried file that must remain, cite the specific import or test that
fails to compile without it.
- Regression Evidence:
Add a utility-layer test that changes an in-scope target or symlink to an
outside referent after lock acquisition. Assert `ConfinedPathEscapeError`, lock
release, and no staging, backup, rename, or outside write.
- Security Boundaries:
Bind authorization and publication to the same filesystem target with directory
handles and no-follow operations, or an equivalent atomic mechanism. Add a
real-publisher regression test that swaps an ancestor after validation and
verifies rejection or publication only to the authorized target.
- Persistence Integrity:
Perform each deletion under one file-lock acquisition. Preserve or recover the

Check roster at posting time (37 checks): everything green except mutation-diff — advisory class, not a ruleset merge gate (same extension-overage family as the rest of this chain; CI measures vs the PR merge-base). mergeable = true; mergeable_state = blocked reflects the required human approvals, not any author-side pending work. This unit's tests and typecheck legs are green on both platform legs.
Plainly: nothing is pending from the author side on this head. What remains is a human approving review, including at least one code owner.
The mutation line on this branch, measured at five bases
The mutation-diff leg on this PR stops at the size cap the gate applies before it runs any test: extension has 1765 changed executable lines (limit 500). Below is that line re-measured at four other bases, so the choice about what to do with it rests on numbers rather than on the one message the leg prints. This is a local measurement, not a hosted result: it calls the gate's own selector functions - parseNameStatus, parseChangedLines and executableChangedLines from scripts/stryker-diff.mjs - in the order selectFromGit calls them, on this PR's head 6093d2a07cb2f05f9120f2d42fe0f238558dec63, in a worktree checked out at that head. The comparison bases are the pushed heads of the branches named.
Measured against
Changed executable lines in extension
Against the 500 limit
Files that dominate the count
upstream main73931fe8be - what the leg computes today
Two of those numbers are the whole question. Once the task-history delete unit (fork PR 70) and the provider batch-delete unit (fork PR 71) are subtracted, the line drops from 1765 to 1129 - and guardedWrite.ts at 401 plus DiffViewProvider.ts at 338 are 739 of what remains. Neither file is touched by either of those two units: they are the content PRs 1929 and 1930 carry. And all three lanes branch from main independently - git rev-list --left-right --count against this head reads 75/106 for 25a1ad65f, 53/106 for 89c1bd8f7, 19/106 for b15f32df3 - so no branch available today already contains both files, and no base available today puts this PR under the cap. Restacking this branch onto the furthest-along of them is a real reduction with an over-cap result attached to it.
So the ask is the one the gate's own message frames - either land 1929 and 1930 ahead of this unit, so that its line describes its own content instead of the chain's, or a maintainer grants the narrow reviewed exclusion the message names. Both are maintainer calls, not author trims: nothing has been cut from this PR to chase the number, and no claim of equivalent or unreachable code is being made for the surviving lines.
What this comment does not say. It does not report a hosted run: the numbers above are computed locally with the gate's functions, and the mutation-diff leg is advisory rather than a required context, so this PR's merge blocker remains the code-owner approval, not this line. Nothing was pushed to this branch in making it, its head is where it was, and nothing on any review thread of this PR was resolved by it. The restack this line depends on is recorded as owed on the split-plan issue, with the replay and conflict evidence attached there so it does not have to be derived twice.
Conflict resolution keeps both sides of the apply_diff work instead of dropping
either one:
- main's 1b9cb7d ([Fix] apply_diff auto-approves edits outside the workspace,
Zoo-Code-Org#2343) is kept in full: isOutsideWorkspace is computed in execute and in
handlePartial and carried in both approval payloads.
- this branch's failure-reporting work is kept in full: formatFailedParts and
truncate, the detailed-failure budgets, the stat-around-read observation
authorization, and the guarded-save approval plumbing (approvedCanonicalTarget
plus the isOutsideWorkspace argument to saveDirectly and saveChanges).
- git's auto-merge emitted the isOutsideWorkspace declaration twice in execute
(main's bare line plus this branch's documented line, textually identical, same
scope) and the file would not parse. The duplicate line is removed and the
documented one kept; the merged file typechecks clean and its specs load.
- applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts: the fs/promises double exposes realpath
as a named export as well as on the default object (the shape
writeToFileTool.spec.ts and editTool.spec.ts use), because the merged tool
canonicalizes an outside-workspace approval target through guardedWrite, which
reaches realpath through a namespace import. Without it canonicalizeForApproval
threw the guard's "Path could not be resolved" refusal, the tool catch routed
it to handleError, and askApproval was never reached - that was the cause of the
five red rows, measured, not assumed. Setup only: no assertion was changed,
moved or deleted. The stat double added for the read-around authorization is
load-bearing the same way (dropping it re-reds nine rows).
- guardedWrite.spec.ts: the Task double exposes abort as a getter over an
abortState holder, because main's Task.ts:3587 exposes abort as an accessor;
the two mid-flight abort flips drive abortState.abort instead of assigning a
read-only property (TS2540 at :1218 and :1234). Same shape as the fws/u6 and
fws/u8 branches, so the three units carry one fix.
Measured on this tree with pinned node v22.23.4: vitest core/tools/__tests__ +
core/task/__tests__ + core/task-persistence/__tests__ -> 81 files, 1671 passed,
5 skipped, exit 0; tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json -> exit 0, 0 error lines;

- Around line 919-925: Update the test around Promise.allSettled for p1 and p2
to keep the first mockedSafeWriteText call pending, then verify the second call
has not started before releasing the first. After release, assert both
publications complete in order; do not rely only on final call order to
establish that publication was serialized.
- Around line 1096-1099: The rejection tests only exercise guardedWrite with its
optional callbacks, leaving direct helper calls unverified. Add direct rejection
coverage for each helper in the diff using the existing-destination and
stale-version inputs, and assert that each produces the guard error without
publishing; retain the current guardedWrite coverage.
- Around line 913-915: Add a write-queue test that makes mockedSafeWriteText
reject during pre-commit publication and verifies the original error is
propagated, the observed state remains unchanged, and a subsequent queued write
still progresses. Keep this separate from the existing rejection path that fails
before publication.
Review comments at @src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:
- Around line 83-104: Update the originalContent read in ApplyDiffTool to
validate the file’s original bytes before decoding when preventFocusDisruption
is enabled, and reject the read if decoding would replace invalid UTF-8 bytes
with U+FFFD. Preserve the existing read behavior when the setting is disabled.
- Around line 83-104: In the ApplyDiffTool read-and-approval flow, require both
stat calls to succeed and the pre- and post-read version tokens to match before
requesting approval. If verification fails, stop before approval and report that
the file read could not be verified; do not proceed with an unrecorded
observation.

Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

Answered against the current head d82d63e (blob verified by git show, not by reading my memory of it). Every line count below carries its base and its semantics: base a0d03a0, base...head, --unified=0, pinned interpreter v22.23.4 — the figures buildManifest throws with. Candidates were committed only inside a scratch probe worktree; nothing was pushed to this PR for these rows and the thread stays open.
Disposition: rebutted with evidence — the case the row asks for already exists in this file, three tests later.
The row is pinned to the test at :279-291, where realpath is rejected wholesale, and its reading of that test is fair: the comment at :286-287 concedes that the first resolution to fail is the target's own, so that row alone cannot distinguish a target failure from a root failure. What it asks for is a case where the target resolves and the workspace root lookup fails, and there are two of them:
:334 onward, 'still refuses a write that lives only under the folder that cannot be resolved': realpath throws EACCES only for path.resolve(WORKSPACE) and answers String(p) for everything else, so the target resolves and the root does not, and the write is refused rather than admitted by the lexical check — no fallback to containment.
:313-332, 'accepts a write in a workspace folder that does resolve when another folder cannot': same selective rejection, the surviving root still admits the write, which is the complementary half (dropping a broken root narrows the allow-list, it does not widen it).
Measured cost of answering this row in code: 0 counted executable lines. A test-only commit (11 lines in a spec file, be6155b523) leaves this unit at the same 1,763 of 500 at base a0d03a0 with --unified=0 — tests/ paths are excluded by the gate's EXCLUDED_PATH_SEGMENTS, so spec rows are free at the gate. They are not free in review bandwidth, which is why they belong to this unit's re-cut rather than to a squeeze on top of a unit that is 1,263 lines over the cap.

Candidates were committed only inside a scratch probe worktree; nothing was pushed to this PR for these rows and the thread stays open.
Disposition: deferred to this unit's re-cut, with its measured cost — the mechanism the row objects to is real at the pinned test, and the row is half-answered by other rows in the same file.
Agreed with the row: the test at :406-417 flips the answer by counting lookups (targetLookups === 1 ? inside : outside), so it is sensitive to how many resolutions happen, not to whether the recheck happened under the lock. If the recheck moved before withFileLock, that test would still reject on the second lookup, exactly as the row says.
Partial cover that the row did not credit: at the helper layer the ordering is asserted event-by-event rather than by count — :1088-1100 asserts order equal to lock, check, publish, check, release for replaceIfVersion, and :1102 onward does the same for an unobserved createIfAbsent. Those rows fail if the containment check moves out of the lock. What is genuinely missing is the row's second half: the count-based swap exists for one scenario only, so 'cover both the create and the replacement path' is an open increment.
Measured cost of answering this row in code: 0 counted executable lines. A test-only commit (11 lines in a spec file, be6155b523) leaves this unit at the same 1,763 of 500 at base a0d03a0 with --unified=0 — tests/ paths are excluded by the gate's EXCLUDED_PATH_SEGMENTS, so spec rows are free at the gate.

Answered against the current head d82d63e (blob verified by git show, not by reading my memory of it). Every line count below carries its base and its semantics: base a0d03a0, base...head, --unified=0, pinned interpreter v22.23.4 — the figures buildManifest throws with. Candidates were committed only inside a scratch probe worktree; nothing was pushed to this PR for these rows and the thread stays open.
Disposition: deferred to this unit's re-cut, with its measured cost — the row's premise holds.
Checked across the whole file: safeWriteText is given a custom implementation at eight places (:913, :935, :991, :1056, :1092, :1114, :1174, :1353) and is never made to reject after the compare-and-swap has already passed. So every rejection test in the file fails before publication, and nothing asserts that a publication failure surfaces the original error, leaves the observation untouched, and still lets the next queued write proceed. A swallowed publication error today would pass this file.
Measured cost of answering this row in code: 0 counted executable lines. A test-only commit (11 lines in a spec file, be6155b523) leaves this unit at the same 1,763 of 500 at base a0d03a0 with --unified=0 — tests/ paths are excluded by the gate's EXCLUDED_PATH_SEGMENTS, so spec rows are free at the gate. They are not free in review bandwidth, which is why they belong to this unit's re-cut rather than to a squeeze on top of a unit that is 1,263 lines over the cap.

The row is right about what the test at :905-926 can and cannot prove. The publish double resolves immediately (:913-915), and the serialization claim is carried by nth-call assertions (:923-925) on the final order. Order after the fact is compatible with two overlapping publications, so a queue that stopped queuing would still satisfy this test. The row's fix — hold the first promise open, assert the second has not started, then release it — is the in-flight assertion the path instructions ask for.

The existing-destination and stale-version tests call guardedWrite, which supplies both optional callbacks. A regression limited to calls without callbacks could pass. Call each helper directly with those inputs and assert the guard error and no publish.
As per path instructions: “require tests for both the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point.”

Disposition: deferred to this unit's re-cut, with its measured cost — the row's specific scenarios are its own, though direct-helper rejection coverage is not absent from the file.
The row says the existing-destination and stale-version rejections are only reached through guardedWrite, which supplies both optional callbacks. That is true for those two scenarios. It is not true of direct-helper rejection in general: :180 rejects a create through createIfAbsent on an I/O error, :207 rejects an update through replaceIfVersion while the lock is held, and :1153 rejects a create through createIfAbsent on a link. So the gap is narrower than 'no direct helper tests': it is that no direct call carries an existing-destination or stale-version refusal, which is where the callbacks' absence would matter.

Answered against the current head d82d63e (blob verified by git show, not by reading my memory of it). Every line count below carries its base and its semantics: base a0d03a0, base...head, --unified=0, pinned interpreter v22.23.4 — the figures buildManifest throws with. Candidates were committed only inside a scratch probe worktree; nothing was pushed to this PR for these rows and the thread stays open.
Disposition: deferred to this unit's re-cut as a priced change, not answered by another pull request — the row holds, and #2372 is not the same defect.
The finding verified against the head: ApplyDiffTool.ts:84 is the only read-and-decode site in the file (const originalContent: string = await fs.readFile(absolutePath, "utf-8")), and Node's utf8 decoding replaces invalid bytes with U+FFFD rather than failing. The guarded publish downstream republishes that decoded string, so a file that is not valid UTF-8 has its bytes silently rewritten on save. That is a real data-integrity claim about code this PR touches.
#2372 (fix/applydiff-outside-workspace-doubles, head 6613702) does not fix it, and the evidence is the diff rather than an impression: git diff --name-status e487cd7b2a...661370201e returns exactly one path, M src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts, 12 insertions and 1 deletion, all of it in the spec — it teaches #2343's doubles about the hardened guard (a stat double carrying an ENOENT rejection, and an open() double that emulates the re-read the real open() performs). Its copy of ApplyDiffTool.ts is blob b08ef9b6e629 — main's untouched file — while this PR's is e930d501b99e. So the production read this row is pinned to is not touched by #2372 at all.
Priced shape, committed in a scratch probe (e7e46229fe, not pushed): read the bytes and decode fatally — new TextDecoder("utf-8", { fatal: true }).decode(await fs.readFile(absolutePath)) — so a non-UTF-8 file fails at the read instead of being republished corrupted. ApplyDiffTool.ts goes from 26 to 29 counted executable lines and the unit from 1,763 to 1,766 of 500 at base a0d03a0 with --unified=0, i.e. +3. It cannot be squeezed into this PR: at either number the unit is well over the cap, and the change is also a behaviour change (today a lossy round trip, tomorrow a user-visible refusal), which needs its own byte-identity round-trip test before it is worth landing. Landing unit: the re-cut that carries ApplyDiffTool's guarded publish, with +3 booked and the test written at the same time.

Second answer on this row, after landing the fix: it is now in #1910, which is the lowest unit carrying the version of src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts that republishes the decoded string.
Where it landed, with the ids read off the payload rather than from memory.ApplyDiffTool.ts was b08ef9b6e629 on main and is untouched there (2372, 2383 and 2384 carry that blob too); the guarded-publish version 4011f802e9bf first appears at #1910's 303af45776, and main never writes the decoded string back — its only read is at line 77 — whereas #1910 and everything downstream of it does, at :80, :125, :154, :179, :199. So the corruption path is our content's, and the fix belongs at the bottom of the chain. The commit is c5556a51145e on origin fws/u1-atomic-publish (parent 303af45776a1, 2 files, +90/−4); it moves ApplyDiffTool.ts from blob 4011f802e9bf to 559a48c30fbd and the spec from 97d1d621ec0e.
Semantics, decided rather than implied. Fail closed. The read takes bytes and decodes with new TextDecoder("utf-8", { fatal: true }). On refusal the tool names the file and the first undecodable byte by offset (File <path> is not valid UTF-8 (first undecodable byte at offset N).) and routes it through the error surface ApplyDiffTool already shows the user — task.say("error", …), recordToolError("apply_diff"), consecutiveMistakeCount++, didToolFailInCurrentTurn = true, pushToolResult(formattedError), return — so no raw TypeError from TextDecoder escapes into the turn. The refusal happens before the diff is computed, before approval, and before any write; converting the file to UTF-8 is the remediation the message names. The same decision is written into the commit message.
What it costs, with its base beside it. Measured on the prettier-formatted tree with scripts/stryker-diff.mjs's counter, base...head, --unified=0, interpreter pinned to node v22.23.4: #1910's unit is 346 of 500 at base 73931fe8be253b93ec11103a0672c615e849f895, against 333 at 303af45776 — +13 for this change. Transplanted onto #1917's own copy of the file (read site at :84, blob e930d501b99e, which also carries the observation-refresh block #1910 does not have) the same shape measures 1,776 against 1,763 at #1917's base a0d03a06a3aff42e2e4561e881911e48ff3bff42, also +13. The +3 I quoted in my first answer here (1,763 → 1,766, candidate e7e46229fe) is the price of the minimal fatal-decode-only shape: the extra ten counted lines are the first-bad-byte computation and the error-path block, and I would not pay them again in a unit that cannot afford them. Spec rows cost nothing: __tests__/ is an excluded segment of the gate.
Whether anything feeds ApplyDiffTool a non-UTF-8 file today. An uncapped git grep over #1910's tree for non-UTF-8 fixtures under src/core/tools returns zero hits; the uncapped repo-wide search of test files for ApplyDiffTool|apply_diff returns 78 hits across 17 files, and I read them — only applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts and validateToolUse.spec.ts live under src/core/tools, and only the first executes the tool (presentAssistantMessage.ts:900 is the production caller). What the executing suite was doing is worse than a missing fixture: its fs/promises double resolved a string from readFile, i.e. it modelled the encoding overload that produces the lossy decode, at :17, :62 and :329. Those three now hand back 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, opened, saved or written when it fires and diffStrategy.applyDiff is never called; valid multi-byte UTF-8 (héllo 中文 ✅) still edits and reports success; and a file with two invalid sequences reports offset 1 and not offset 4.
Linux. The four rows are Buffer and string logic only — no inode recycling, no cmd.exe, no junction, no alias spelling — so nothing in them depends on how this box behaves; that is deliberate, given how the last two Linux-only failures in this stack were produced. I did run them instrumented here before the push (79/79 in applyDiffTool.failureReporting.spec.ts with applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts and editFileTool.spec.ts, node v22.23.4, stdio on file descriptors), and I should be exact about the Linux part: this box has WSL Ubuntu (Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2, /mnt/c mounted) but no node binary in the distro, so vitest cannot execute there — the probe printed NODE_ABSENT and only the Windows /mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm on PATH. The instrument for this file's lane is therefore the platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) arm of the six, not my terminal, and I am not claiming a Linux run I did not perform. CI runs on ubuntu and windows only.
#2372. It does not touch this line: its whole diff is src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts (+12/−1) and it carries main's blob b08ef9b6e629 for ApplyDiffTool.ts, so it neither fixes nor collides with this row.
Push effect and thread state.#1910 was awaiting-coderabbit with coderabbit-review-active at head 303af45776a1 with all six required arms completed non-failing, so this push re-triggers CodeRabbit's pass over the new head — that is expected and wanted, and I stacked nothing else on it: the commit is these two files, and the --prune-suppressions rewrite of src/eslint-suppressions.json that eslint produced locally was reverted so the commit carries no suppression churn. The thread stays open until the fix is in #1917's ancestry, which happens only after #1910 merges and #1917 is re-cut onto it.

@easonLiangWorldedtech Thanks for the detailed update. The reported fix in #1910 addresses the lossy UTF-8 read. I have not independently verified that commit or its CI results.
The fix is not yet in #1917’s ancestry, so this thread should stay open. After the re-cut, check the integrated read path and the platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) result on the new head.

Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

This PR makes the task-history delete path obey the same lock discipline as every writer:
deleteMany()resolves each task id's file through the canonical lock key - so a symlink alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel - takes the per-path file lock before unlinking, and reports per-id failures honestly: failed ids stay in the cache and the store never reports a deletion it did not perform.This is the last writer in the chain to join the lock discipline. It is the ninth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991), so merging it completes the series.

Description
What this PR changes:
TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany()resolves each id's file through the canonical key every other writer uses and takes the per-path file lock before unlinking.guardedWrite(approvedCanonicalTarget, captured before the approval - the guard only compares against it, never against a lookup done at publish time), the workspace-root resolution fix (an unresolvable root is dropped from the allow-list instead of vetoing every write), and failed-batch assertions rewritten to state the contract instead of comparing a live map with itself.Why the diff looks bigger than the change - per carried file, and why this unit requires it: the chain is non-cumulative: this branch is based on
main, where none of the predecessors have landed yet, and the unit's own tests (the newTaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.tsand theClineProviderdelete specs) compile and run against the wholesrctree. Every carried file below is byte-identical to the owning unit's head content, is required for this branch to compile and for its own tests to execute, and disappears from this PR's diff when the predecessor merges (merge order: U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9, all predecessors of this unit):TaskHistoryStore.ts, its new spec,task-persistence/index.ts,ClineProvider.ts+ the two ClineProvider specsguardedWrite.ts+guardedWrite.spec.ts, the tool-wiring files (ApplyDiffTool,ApplyPatchTool,EditFileTool,EditTool,SearchReplaceTool,WriteToFileTool+ specs)deleteManylocks through the same canonical keyguardedWritetakes - the unit's contract is stated against that guard's semantics, and the tree does not compile without it onmain.observationRegistry.ts+ spec,ReadFileTool+ spec,Task.ts+ dispose testDiffViewProvider.ts+ spec,indentation-reader+ specssafeWriteText.ts+ specssafeWriteJson.ts+ specseslint-suppressions.jsonThis unit's own delta is 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines, all in

Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
"update"->""): an empty kinddispatches exactly like
"update"inside guardedWrite - only"edit"and
"create"branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line isnot part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
GuardRejectedErroris only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reachedonly after the
!saveTaskcheck above has already thrown. Wheneverthe operand is evaluated
saveTaskis provably non-null, so droppingthe operand cannot change which branch is taken.
mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.
Re-review responses (error-fix re-review wave)
lstats the lexical leaf whenrealpathreports ENOENT and refusessymbolic-link leaves (and unresolvable lstat failures) before authorizing
the write - the publish resolves the name again, so an unchecked referent
could receive the bytes outside the authorized container. Genuinely missing
leaves keep the existing create path. Regression test asserts the guard
rejects before the publish is reached.
Dangling-leaf refusal on this branch (3a5ebbb)
The leaf-link refusal described in the previous round's section now
lands on this branch: the guarded write lstats the lexical leaf before
publishing and refuses a symbolic link that does not resolve, so the
publish can never follow a referent the check did not authorize. The
commit is byte-identical to the copy that first landed on the U7 branch;
negative control: removing the check reddens exactly the dangling-symlink
test. 67/67 green at this head.
Out of Scope Changes disposition (timing, not necessity). The row
lists predecessor-unit implementation (observation tracking, read
completeness, indentation clipping,
DiffViewProviderteardown) that U9does not require. Every PR in this chain targets
main, so each diffcarries the open predecessor units until they merge; the declared merge
order places them all before this PR, after which this diff reduces to
the U9 deletion changes plus the minimal canonical-lock and
approved-identity support the issue requires. Nothing listed is
implemented here for the first time:
DiffViewProviderteardownSecurity Boundaries disposition (already-registered family). The row
repeats the TOCTOU ancestor-swap claim already dispositioned and
registered: the fix lands once at the publish-primitive owner and copies
