feat(file-safety): serialized publish primitive over the shared file lock (split 1 of #1914, #1375) - #2383
Unit 1 of the five-way split of #1914, planned and issued on #2020. Whole-file module cut, 6 files, no partial hunks: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts with its spec and integration spec, src/utils/fileLock.ts with its two spec files, and src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts. It is one of five independent pull requests rather than a stack - nothing in it depends on any other unit, and it compiles on this main tip alone.
This unit introduces no new version of anything.safeWriteText.ts is blob 9701d4b3b688 and fileLock.ts is blob 2ab8179b00cf, and both are #1914 own blobs, already under review there. Nothing in this pull request is a fresh take on a contested file. What it does is make 386 of #1914 1,044 counted executable lines reviewable at a size one person can read in a sitting.
Numbers, with the base named
Base: main tip e487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629, which is this commit own parent (git merge-base --is-ancestor exits 0 against it, so the gate merge-base and the base coincide).
Counted executable lines: 386 against the 500 limit, headroom 114. Per file: safeWriteText.ts 352 and fileLock.ts 34. The four __tests__ files count for nothing, because packageForPath returns no package for test paths.
Added and deleted lines, beside that number and not instead of it: 2,942 (2,936 added, 6 deleted) over 6 files.
zdt split measure against this base printed the following, quoted exactly as measured, with the exit code exactly as measured:
exit code 1. That exit code is reporting the 2,942 against the 1,000 hard added-deleted cap, not the executable-line cap; the executable-line number, which is what the CI gate measures against 500, is 386.
Typecheck: tsc --noEmit -p src/tsconfig.pcmap.json from the verification worktree root (node v22.23.4): exit 0, 0 error lines.
Tests, run from the same worktree src: vitest.services.config.ts printed Test Files 2 passed (2) and Tests 76 passed (76); vitest.misc.config.ts printed Test Files 2 passed (2) and Tests 9 passed (9). Both exit 0, with 0 failed and 0 skipped. Named rather than left silent: this unit has no skipped tests, and the six test.skipIf(process.platform === "win32") skips in this split chain live in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, which belongs to held unit cut5 - POSIX-only behaviour that does run on Linux CI.
Why 2,942 is not pushed lower, stated so it reads as a decision and not an oversight: five of the six files are whole new files, and the largest is a test file whose single top-level describe spans lines 113-1486, 1,374 added-deleted lines on its own. Any cap-legal re-cut of that file needs a test-layout change on main first, and that prerequisite is booked as a named zero-counted-line row on Tracking fws U5: guarded-write core (create-if-absent and compare-and-swap) #2020 (comment 6739719219) with its evidence - a slice ending inside one of those describes does not parse (TS1005 at safeWriteText.spec.ts:819).
Gate numbers and what they mean
Two different questions get two numbers, and the base is named for both. Counted executable lines come from the repository own buildManifest in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, run through .tmp-cr-audit/u8-measure-chain.mjs (node v22.23.4), with per-path diffs at --unified=0 because parseChangedLines marks every line a hunk covers and selectFromGit passes --unified=0 at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:306. Added-and-deleted lines are the plain git diff --shortstat figure, printed beside the counted number and not instead of it.
The base named below is the current main tip, which is also this commit own parent. git merge-base --is-ancestor exits 0 against it, so the CI gate merge-base computation and my base coincide exactly and no two-dot approximation is involved in these figures.
Mutation gate: local attempt, and an honest deferral
A local zdt mutation preflight was attempted at this base. The wrapper printed preflight exit code: 0 and => PASS (local gate green) while writing no reports (mutation testing not applicable or run incomplete) and a digest with an empty package list, and the wrapped Stryker log says why: it instrumented the changed files and then died with Cannot find module 'vitest/config' from its .stryker-tmp sandbox copy of vitest.config.ts, whose require stack resolves vite out of the parent clone .pnpm store rather than through this worktree junctioned node_modules. A green verdict with an empty report set is not a green verdict, so this pull request carries no local mutation reading. CI mutation-diff will be the first real one.
That deferral is safe for two measured reasons rather than evasive ones. First, #1914 mutation-diff has never produced a mutant verdict for this content at all: it fails on the 1,044-versus-500 width gate before the runner reports, so there is no mutation history being inherited here. Second, if a surviving mutant does appear, the answer is test hardening, which lands in __tests__ paths and therefore costs zero counted executable lines, because packageForPath returns nothing for test paths. A mutation-red cannot move this unit further from mergeable than it already is.
Content fidelity
Every file here is #1914 verbatim content, taken from the merge commit that closes it (7209a5f1681b387e397434172707cb028e33ec3b, tree 3c919730a813) with no edits. The five whole-file units of this split are path-disjoint and their file sets sum to the 26 files #1914 changes. Applied onto this main tip they produce tree 83cdd9cb0223, and git diff --name-only 83cdd9cb0223 7209a5f1681b387e397434172707cb028e33ec3b prints 14 files - every one of them newer content that arrived on main after the merge base 5319fe91fb0caf4aa4ec66aac68fa03744ebbc23, none of them among the 26. The split therefore neither loses nor invents content, and each unit measures the same counted executable lines against the merge base and against this tip.
Series housekeeping
This split was planned and issued on #2020 before any split pull request opened (comments 6738707507, 6739312036, 6739376708, 6739428842, 6739719219), and the version question for the contested files is asked there in comment 6739877102. #1914 stays open until the units of its split have been reviewed, because its review history is the only record of what has already been said about this content; its 14 open review rows were answered on the pull request itself. On #1914 there is no review event from anyone except the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone except the bot (140 review events over 2 pages, 81 from the bot and 59 from the author account, 0 from anyone else).
No .changeset file and no CHANGELOG edit, per AGENTS.md. src/eslint-suppressions.json is not touched here: the 96-to-94 count change for core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts belongs to held unit cut4 and to that unit alone, so no two pull requests in this split edit that file. knip.json is likewise not touched here - held unit cut3 owns its one entry, and the fact that #1914 and #2359 both carry blob 34450fc441a3 while main, #1911, #1912, #1913, #1917 and #2368 carry 1f4956faa6cc is a known conflict cost of the series, recorded on #2020, not a mistake of this unit.
Added safer text-file writing with optional backups, protection against unintended overwrites, and checks that the target and its parent directories have not changed.
File locks now account for symlinks and missing path components, helping prevent conflicting operations on paths that resolve to the same location.
Tests
Added coverage for file writing, backup cleanup, permissions, path changes, and file-lock behavior.
The pull request adds safeWriteText with staging, optional backups, guarded publishing, and cleanup. It also canonicalizes file-lock keys while retaining the caller’s path for the locked operation.

Summary
Path resolution and lock-key canonicalization src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts, src/utils/fileLock.ts
Publish and lock paths resolve symlinks and existing ancestors. Lock-path symlink traversal is bounded, and the tests cover canonical paths and resolution fallbacks.
Staging, guarded publishing, and cleanup src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts, knip.json
safeWriteText stages and syncs content, optionally creates a backup, and publishes by rename or hard link. Tests cover permissions, path checks, cleanup, durability, and filesystem behavior. The src workspace entry list includes safeWriteText.ts.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1f656
This adds a safe-write primitive and canonical lock keys, and none of it has a production consumer yet. Open points are an unreported stale backup copy on a failed write, two lock-key helpers with different error handling, and a possible false rejection when an ancestor directory is recorded through a symlink. These are limited and can be fixed in follow-ups or before consumers land.

Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:257-265, 519-535, 580-595, 743-787 can expose secrets on Windows. If a restricted file is in a directory with a broader inherited DACL, the staging file can inherit that broader DACL. The code publishes it before restoring the target DACL and ignores save or restore failures. Another user can read the staged or published content. The tests at safeWriteText.spec.ts:654-669 and 724-741 confirm that DACL failures do not fail the write. The new API has no production caller in this PR.
Resolution
Create staging files and backups with restrictive Windows DACLs before writing content. Apply the target DACL before publication, and fail closed if it cannot be preserved. Add Windows filesystem tests for restricted targets and DACL failures.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
src/utils/fileLock.ts:76-86 falls back to the lexical path when realpath reports an error such as EIO. If the parent is a symlink, a concurrent call that resolves successfully takes a different lock for the same file. Two safeWriteJson merge operations can then read the same old state and overwrite each other. Before this change, both calls used the same lexical lock key.
Resolution
Fail lock acquisition when canonicalization cannot establish the key, or use a stable shared key. Add a concurrent merge test with a transient realpath failure.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
Two security-relevant negative cases lack focused coverage: - safeWriteText.ts:486-491 rejects non-regular staging files. The staging tests cover symlinks, but _fileStats in safeWriteText.spec.ts:73-77 cannot represent a non-symlink directory or special file. A regression could accept one and open or publish it. - safeWriteText.ts:618-620 rejects an ancestor when either its device or inode changes. The tests vary only the inode; _dirIdentity always uses device 1n. A replacement on another filesystem with the same inode could bypass a regressed device check.
Resolution
Add unit tests that reject a non-symlink, non-regular staging path before opening or publishing it, and reject an ancestor with the same inode but a different device before commit.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
safeWriteText.ts:746-759 leaks the staging file when failIfExist publishes a hard link but a transient EBUSY or EPERM blocks the staging unlink. The code discards the error and marks the staging path consumed. The nonempty staging directory then also remains because rmdir fails silently at lines 825-830. The test at safeWriteText.spec.ts:1326-1337 confirms that this path returns success.
Resolution
Track the staging path until removal succeeds. Retry transient cleanup failures and report any remaining orphan with its path while indicating that publication succeeded. Remove the staging directory after its file is removed.

knip is the only failing arm, and the reason is the consumer graph, not the build
The arm. Code QA Roo Code run 42617459566 concluded failure at 12:38:39Z on exactly one of its eight jobs. The job is knip (job 129160792900), and the failing step is its sixth, "Run production Knip checks". Its log, lines 394-400 of 444, printed:
The other seven jobs of that run completed success - invisible-chars, dependency-review, check-translations, compile, Build test VSIX, platform-unit-test (windows-latest) and platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) - as did Changed-code mutation testing, E2E Tests (Mocked), Visual Regression and CodeQL Advanced on this head. The knip job's own policy suite passed 8 of 8 first, and two of its subtest names are the rule it enforces: "a production file imported only by tests is still reported as unused" and "tests cannot make an otherwise unused production export pass the production check". knip is one of the six contexts the Protect Main ruleset requires, so this arm, not the width and not the mutants, is what holds the pull request.
Why, measured at this head. At 3edac64, git grep -n safeWriteText -- src returns 8 mentions outside __tests__: seven are inside src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts itself (its own error strings, its own temp-name calls) and the eighth is a comment - src/utils/fileLock.ts:53: "// (resolveLockKey in safeWriteText). Walking readlink even when the referent is". There is no production import of the file this pull request adds. The consumer that justifies it, src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts with its three import sites and two call sites, is the content that stays in the held third unit, so this cut ships a primitive nobody in production calls yet.
Four open pull requests carry four different implementations of this same primitive, and main carries none of them (blob ids read with git ls-tree -r, main's copy counted in the same sentence: absent at e487cd7):
src/utils/fileLock.ts is the other divergence: 2ab8179b00cf at #1914 and here, and main's untouched 49807ea154d4 everywhere else in the family, including #1911 and #1912.
The shape that does clear knip, measured rather than asserted. At #1911's current head, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:13-14 imports safeWriteText from ../services/file-safety/safeWriteText and calls it at lines 197 and 217, and src/utils/jsonFileRecovery.ts:14-15 documents the staging-name contract it imposes; that is 14 production mentions outside the primitive, and #1911's knip job completed success along with its compile, check-translations, e2e-mock, both platform-unit-test matrix arms and mutation-diff (Code QA run 42619208866, completed 12:48:39Z, all eight jobs success). Counted executable lines for #1911 measured the way the gate measures - base = its own pin 73931fe, which git merge-base --is-ancestor confirms is an ancestor of its head, per-path diffs at --unified=0, buildManifest imported out of scripts/stryker-diff.mjs - is 496 of 500 across 10 files. #1910 measures 333 the same way against the same pin, and it handles the identical consumer-less condition with one configuration line, inserting "!services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts!", into the src workspace project list in knip.json (blob 1f4956faa6cc to 8b51352a3585); #1914 handles it by adding "core/tools/guardedWrite.ts!" to the entry array.
What I am proposing. That this pull request be closed as superseded by #1911, on the arithmetic rather than on preference: the only sub-500 shape in the family that contains a safeWriteText with a production importer in the same unit is #1911's, at 496 of 500, and widening this cut to carry safeWriteJson.ts and jsonFileRecovery.ts reaches 1911's own width while shipping a rival blob of the same file. Widening it to carry the guardedWrite.ts consumer instead costs 394 counted executable lines on top of these 386 (measured per file: guardedWrite.ts 394, fileLock.ts 34, safeWriteText.ts 352, base = main tip e487cd7), which is 780 against a 500 line cap. Nothing is being pushed on this branch, and I am not asking anybody to label or review anything.
Merge order this produces, which is the useful part. The family starts at #1910 (333 counted executable lines) and #1911 (496), because those are the two units whose production files have consumers inside themselves. Once #1911 is on main, #1914's remaining content re-cuts to guardedWrite.ts at 394 counted lines plus the canonical-key change in fileLock.ts at 34, about 428, and that unit is knip-viable precisely because safeWriteText will already be on main and guardedWrite will import it. The companion pull request #2384 (observation registry plus the Task run-state fields, 25 counted executable lines, 11 mutants generated and 11 killed, no survivors) is unaffected by any of this and stays open as it is.
The mutation reading on this pull request, for the record, since the conclusion alone does not carry it. Changed-code mutation testing succeeded and uploaded its report (artifact changed-code-mutation-report, 1,493,396 B, containing extension/mutation.html, extension/mutation.json and pr-comment.md). The report row reads extension | 386 changed executable lines | 372 valid | 274 killed | 12 timeout | 78 survived | 8 no coverage | Advisory findings, and its advisory says "extension timed out 12 of 372 valid mutants. The result is inconclusive". The success conclusion is the width gate (386 against the 500 cap), not the mutants: 86 surviving and uncovered mutants are annotations. Test-only hardening of those 86 would add zero counted executable lines, because packageForPath in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs returns nothing for test paths, so this is fixable without moving the unit further from mergeable.
Measured by me on node v22.23.4 with git from C:/Program Files/Git/bin; the CI lines quoted above are from the job logs I read at 12:47-12:52Z, and the blob ids and counted-line figures are my own measurements against the bases named beside each of them.
The mutation reading on this pull request, and how it compares with the three rival units
Report set named before any verdict. CI generated and ran mutants on this head once: artifact changed-code-mutation-report, id 13675510301, 1,493,396 B, package list [extension], three report files (extension/mutation.html, extension/mutation.json, pr-comment.md). Its machine header reads head:3edac64036eb6666aa177c7ec502c36d2a7379fb blocking:86 advisories:1 and its table row reads:
274 + 12 + 78 + 8 = 372 reconciles. The report locates every advisory mutant: 70 of them in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts between lines 102 and 859 - StringLiteral and ObjectLiteral replacements clustered at 102-249, then conditional, equality, logical and optional-chaining mutants at 358-363, 385-388, 472-501, 574-638 and 670-859 - and 6 in src/utils/fileLock.ts at lines 61, 73, 80 and 86; the no-coverage entries are at safeWriteText.ts 171, 388 (three mutants) and 489, and at fileLock.ts 173 and 183. Its own advisory: "extension timed out 12 of 372 valid mutants. The result is inconclusive; consider fixing flaky or slow tests, or reducing the changed scope." CI's own changed-executable-lines figure, 386, is the number I measured with the gate's own accounting, so the width is confirmed from both sides. The job concluded success because 386 is under the 500-line cap; the 86 surviving and uncovered mutants are annotations, not a verdict.
Where this leaves the four implementations of the same primitive. These are all CI-printed rows, read from each unit's own artifact with /actions/runs?head_sha= using the full 40-character sha (a 12-character prefix returns an empty list rather than an error, which is a trap worth naming):
Unit and safeWriteText blob
Lines
Valid
Killed
Timeout
Survived
No coverage
Result
#2384 (this family's observation-registry unit, different content)
The kill percentages and the per-line ratios in the next sentence are my arithmetic on those printed rows, not CI's. Of the two rival implementations that have ever been mutation-measured, #1910's kills 78.4% of its valid mutants and leaves 0.174 surviving-or-uncovered mutants per counted executable line; this pull request's (the blob #1914 carries) kills 73.7% and leaves 0.223. #1911's row is Advisory incomplete with the report line "The mutation run was incomplete; selected test file names were not recorded", and its only advisory is "extension generated 510 mutants in preflight (limit 400). Split the PR or obtain a maintainer-reviewed narrow exclusion." - so the version my coordinator is recommending as the family's carrier currently has no mutation measurement at all, and the version maintainers would be reading if they compared implementations can only be read here and on #1910. #1910's reading is against its head 303af45 from before the 12:55Z push; I checked git ls-tree -r at the new head c5556a5 and safeWriteText.ts is still 2842acbeb817 and knip.json is still 8b51352a3585, so that reading still describes the same implementation. #1912 has no reading because its gate threw: job 129040967378, step 6, printed "Mutation gate failed: extension has 672 changed executable lines (limit 500)" - 672 is also what I measure for #1912 against its pin 73931fe.
The knip arm, priced both ways, at zero counted lines. Two answers already exist in this family for a publish file with no production importer yet. #1910 carries one: its knip.json goes 1f4956faa6cc to 8b51352a3585 by inserting "!services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts!", into the src workspace project list, and its knip job completed success. #1914 carries the other shape: knip.json 34450fc441a3 adds "core/tools/guardedWrite.ts!" to the entry array. knip.json is configuration, so neither line counts toward the 500 executable-line cap. Whichever blob a maintainer chooses to keep, that ignore or entry line is a merge-order artefact and not a defence of the file: it records that the consumer has not landed yet, and it stops being needed the moment guardedWrite or safeWriteJson imports the version that survives.
What is still owed on this pull request before it is mergeable in anyone's eyes, stated as owed and not as done. The 78 surviving and 8 uncovered mutants have not been triaged into real gaps and equivalent mutants. That work is cheap in the currency this gate spends - packageForPath in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs returns nothing for test paths, so adding or hardening tests costs zero counted executable lines - and I have not done it. I am specifically not asserting that the survivors are equivalent mutants: the Math.random().toString(36) replacements in the temp-name literals and the empty-StringLiteral replacements in error messages look like the equivalent-mutant class, and I have not tested that claim, and the 12 timeouts make CI's own result explicitly inconclusive rather than merely incomplete.
I am asking for nothing here: no label, no review, no thread resolution. My measurements are mine on node v22.23.4 (git from C:/Program Files/Git/bin), the CI rows are quotations from the artifacts and job logs I downloaded at 12:47-13:14Z on 2026-11-09, and the percentages are labelled as my arithmetic where they appear.
Triage of the 78 surviving and 8 uncovered mutants: three named piles, nothing in a fourth
Read, not pushed: this comment changes no file and asks for nothing. The 86 advisory mutants named in CI's own report for head 3edac64036eb6666aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629 (78 survived, 8 never covered) are sorted here against the source as it stands at that commit and against the two specs that unit ships - src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts (1,676 lines) and safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts (67 lines) - plus src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts (169 lines) for the six fileLock entries. Pile totals: 5 equivalent with the reason named, 81 test-gap with the specific missing assertion named, 0 needing a reasoned exclusion.

Pile 1 - equivalent mutant, reason named per mutant (5)
All five are the same class: a StringLiteral emptied inside a comparison against a constant that no reachable value can equal. They are equivalents by argument about the value range, and I state the argument rather than the label. Nothing else in the 86 lands in this pile, and in particular I am not asserting equivalence for the Math.random().toString(36) temp-name literals: I read each of the four mutants at safeWriteText.ts:249 (three StringLiterals - the leading dot, the two separators - and the MethodExpression that removes .substring(2)), and all four are killable by an assertion the suite does not have, which makes them pile 2 and not pile 1.
Pile 2 - test gap, the specific missing assertion named per mutant (81 entries across 59 locations)
Each line below is one or more mutants at one source line, with what the suite fails to assert. Where a line carries several mutants, the named assertion kills them together and I say so.
FL:61 (EqualityOperator -> "depth <= frameBudget") - no test drives canonicalLockPath to the frame budget, so depth < frameBudget versus depth <= frameBudget is unobserved
FL:73 (MethodExpression -> "Math.min(0, remainingLinkHops - frameBudget)") - no test consumes the remaining-hop budget to a nonzero value, so max versus min is unobserved
FL:80 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; EqualityOperator -> "missing.length >= 0") - no test reaches this site with an empty missing list, so the join-versus-bare branch is unverified
FL:86 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; StringLiteral -> """") - no test makes this realpath catch report ENOTDIR, so the early return and the code comparison are unverified
FL:173 (StringLiteral -> "``" [uncovered]) - uncovered: no test makes the in-catch lock release fail, so the console.error line that reports it is never executed
FL:183 (StringLiteral -> "``" [uncovered]) - uncovered: no test makes the post-success lock release fail, so the console.error line that reports it is never executed
SWS:102 (StringLiteral -> """") - no assertion on the error's name field - expect(orph.name).toBe("OrphanedBackupError") is absent anywhere in the 1,676-line spec, which asserts the class via toBeInstanceOf and the message via toContain but never the name
SWS:123 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion pins the second clause of the orphaned-backup message: toContain("safeWriteText") at spec 575 and toContain("EPERM") at 576 both still pass when this literal is emptied; add toContain("could not be removed")
SWS:124 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion pins the retention clause ("The copy is still on disk and should be removed"); the existing toContain checks pass with it emptied
SWS:125 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}") - cause is asserted for one error only (spec 579 expect(orphan.cause).toBe(orphan.originalError)); no test asserts cause propagation for OrphanedPublishedBackupError, PostCommitDurabilityError or UnsupportedFilesystemError, so replacing the options object with an empty one is silent
SWS:127 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for OrphanedPublishedBackupError
SWS:137 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion pins the backup-creation-failure message's first clause; the test at 517 asserts the class and the leftover path, not this prose
SWS:139 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion pins "still on disk and must be deleted" even though the test at 545 exists precisely to carry the leftover path
SWS:154 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for StagingPathError
SWS:168 (BooleanLiteral -> "true") - no call site in the suite omits the third constructor argument and then asserts which message was chosen, so flipping the default from false to true is unobserved
SWS:171 (StringLiteral -> """" [uncovered]) - uncovered: no test ever constructs PostCommitDurabilityError with copiedTargetFsync true, so the whole true-branch message is never executed
SWS:172 (StringLiteral -> """") - no assertion distinguishes the copiedTargetFsync=false message from the true branch, so emptying it is silent
SWS:173 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}") - no assertion that PostCommitDurabilityError carries its cause
SWS:175 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for PostCommitDurabilityError
SWS:188 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion on the TargetExistsError message text; the test at 1236 asserts only the class
SWS:189 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for TargetExistsError
SWS:205 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion on the UnsupportedFilesystemError message text; the test at 1289 asserts only the class
SWS:206 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}") - no assertion that UnsupportedFilesystemError carries its cause
SWS:208 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for UnsupportedFilesystemError
SWS:225 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for TargetMovedError
SWS:241 (StringLiteral -> """") - same name-field gap for AncestorReplacedError
SWS:249 (StringLiteral -> """"; StringLiteral -> """"; MethodExpression -> "Math.random().toString(36)"; StringLiteral -> """") - no assertion on the staging file's own name: the shape regex at spec 246 pins the staging directory (.file-safety-staging_), not the dot-prefixed temp file built here, and openSync and unlink are asserted only with stringContaining(stagingDir); assert the basename against ^.[a-z0-9-]+\d+_[a-z0-9]+.tmp$ - that single assertion kills all four mutants here, including the Math.random().toString(36) one, which is why I am not calling it equivalent
SWS:279 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}"; BooleanLiteral -> "false") - no test asserts the spawn options object passed to the injected runner, so windowsHide: true becoming false, or the whole options object becoming {}, is unobserved
SWS:295 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}"; BooleanLiteral -> "false") - same options-blindness on the restore call
SWS:358 (ConditionalExpression -> "false") - no test drives the canonical === undefined branch of the lexical fallback
SWS:359 (MethodExpression -> "missing") - no test reaches the reverse-and-rejoin expression with a non-empty missing list at this site
SWS:361 (CallExpression -> ";") - no test distinguishes whether the basename was pushed onto the missing list at this step
SWS:363 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; EqualityOperator -> "parent !== cursor") - no test constructs a cursor whose parent equals itself here, so the loop-termination condition is unverified
SWS:385 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; EqualityOperator -> "missing.length >= 0") - the two mutants here (the conditional and the length comparison) survive because no test produces an empty missing list at this site, so the join-versus-bare-realPath choice is unverified
SWS:388 (ConditionalExpression -> "false"; ConditionalExpression -> "true" [uncovered]; EqualityOperator -> "code === "ENOTDIR"" [uncovered]; StringLiteral -> """" [uncovered]) - uncovered and surviving together: no test makes the realpath attempt at this site throw a code other than the two absent-path codes, so neither the fail-closed throw nor the ENOTDIR arm is ever taken
SWS:472 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion on the staging-containment message text; the test at 1546 asserts the class and that nothing was written
SWS:482 (StringLiteral -> "``") - no assertion on the staging-names-the-target message text; the test at 293 asserts the class only
SWS:487 (LogicalOperator -> "stagingStat.isSymbolicLink() && !stagingStat.isFile()") - no test supplies a staging path that is a regular-file-looking non-file (for example a FIFO-shaped double) so the negated isFile arm is only half-covered
SWS:489 (StringLiteral -> "``"; StringLiteral -> """"; StringLiteral -> """" [uncovered]) - no assertion on the not-a-regular-file message, and its ternary arms ("a symlink" versus "another file type") are never distinguished - the test at 1559 covers the symlink arm only through the class
SWS:501 (BooleanLiteral -> "true") - no test observes that releaseBackupOnSuccess starts false: the backup-release decision is asserted through outcomes, not through the flag's initial value
SWS:574 (CallExpression -> ";") - fsyncSync is asserted at the staging-file site (spec 148, 150) but not at this one, so deleting this call is silent
SWS:576 (CallExpression -> ";") - closeSync is asserted for the staging descriptor elsewhere, not for this descriptor
SWS:586 (OptionalChaining -> "options.execFileRunner") - no test walks the win32 DACL save path with options undefined, so removing the optional chain (which would throw a TypeError) is unobserved
SWS:612 (ObjectLiteral -> "{}"; BooleanLiteral -> "false") - no test asserts the { bigint: true } option on the stat call used for ancestor identity checks; the assertions compare the returned dev and ino, not the request
SWS:613 (ConditionalExpression -> "true") - no test drives the ENOENT arm of the ancestor-stat catch here
SWS:618 (ConditionalExpression -> "false") - no test drives the dev-or-ino mismatch arm at this site with only one half differing
SWS:633 (ConditionalExpression -> "false"; LogicalOperator -> "code === "ENOENT" && code === "ENOTDIR""; ConditionalExpression -> "false"; StringLiteral -> """"; ConditionalExpression -> "false"; StringLiteral -> """"; BlockStatement -> "{}" [uncovered]) - uncovered BlockStatement plus six surviving mutants: no test enters this ENOENT-or-ENOTDIR block, so the whole recovery body is unverified
SWS:638 (ConditionalExpression -> "false") - no test drives the resolvedDir-mismatch arm here
SWS:670 (CallExpression -> ";") - no assertion closes the seed descriptor: the suite counts unlink and rename calls, not this close
SWS:679 (CallExpression -> ";") - no assertion closes the backup descriptor for the same reason
SWS:695 (ConditionalExpression -> "false"; StringLiteral -> """") - no test makes the backup-cleanup catch report ENOENT at this site (the surviving conditional and the uncovered path show the same gap)
SWS:705 (ConditionalExpression -> "true") - no test drives the backupCleanupError non-null arm here
SWS:737 (ConditionalExpression -> "false") - no test drives a fs error carrying ENOTSUP or ENOSYS through this gate, so the unsupported-fallback classification is half-verified
SWS:762 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; StringLiteral -> """") - no test calls with platform set to a value other than win32 and linux while the DACL gate is open, and CI's matrix is ubuntu and windows only, so the non-win32 early return is verified for two platform strings and no others
SWS:787 (OptionalChaining -> "options.execFileRunner") - same gap on the restore path
SWS:791 (LogicalOperator -> "releaseBackupOnSuccess || backupPath") - no test separates releaseBackupOnSuccess true with backupPath empty from the both-set case
SWS:802 (ConditionalExpression -> "false"; StringLiteral -> """") - no test drives ENOENT through this cleanup catch
SWS:836 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; LogicalOperator -> "backupPath || releaseBackupOnSuccess") - no test drives the both-set case at this cleanup site to separate it from the single-flag cases
SWS:859 (ConditionalExpression -> "true"; ConditionalExpression -> "false"; EqualityOperator -> "daclDumpPath === null") - no test drives the daclDumpPath non-null cleanup path to the point where the null comparison is the only difference
Pile 3 - needs a reasoned exclusion (0)
Empty, and deliberately so. Every one of the 86 has an observable difference that an assertion could catch on the two runners CI actually has, so I am not asking for any disable comment and I am not offering a blanket one. If a maintainer decides the five pile-1 items should be silenced rather than left as advisory findings, the exclusion route is a reasoned Stryker disable next-line at each of the five lines, which costs nothing in counted executable lines; the alternative - hardening the tests - costs nothing there either, for the same reason: test paths charge nothing.
What the shape of the gap says, stated as mine and not as CI's
78 survivors against 372 valid mutants is a 73.7% kill rate (my arithmetic on CI's printed row), and the gaps cluster in three places rather than spreading evenly. The largest is error identity: eight of the classes in this file set this.name and no assertion anywhere in the suite reads .name - I grepped for it and got zero hits - so any mutant that empties an error name survives, and one assertion per class would retire eight entries here. The second cluster is post-commit cleanup and descriptor release: five of the mutants are deleted fsyncSync or closeSync calls at four distinct sites (574, 576, 670, 679 and the seed path), and the suite does assert those calls elsewhere (spec 148 and 150 for the staging descriptor), which tells me the harness is capable of the assertion and simply does not make it at these sites. The third is the errno-shaped branches: 20 conditional, 5 equality and 4 logical mutants are all comparisons against ENOENT, ENOTDIR, EPERM, ENOTSUP, ENOSYS or win32, and the suite drives some of those codes at some sites and not at others - the six uncovered entries at 388 and 633 in safeWriteText.ts and 173 and 183 in fileLock.ts are entire catch-block bodies never entered, which is the cheapest kind of test to add because it needs a double and an error object, not a filesystem.
One limitation stated before anyone reads this as a completeness claim: this triage judges what CI's report says survived against what the committed specs assert. It is not a re-run of Stryker, and the 12 timeouts are not in any pile because they are neither survivors nor uncovered - CI's own advisory calls the result inconclusive on their account. And the win32-gated sites (279, 295, 586, 762, 787, 859) are judged against a suite that contains exactly one it.skipIf(process.platform !== "win32") at spec 631 on a ubuntu-and-windows matrix; I make no claim about any other platform because I have not run one.
Interpreter and instruments: node v22.23.4 with git from C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe; survivor and uncovered rows parsed from CI's pr-comment.md inside artifact 13675510301 (the report's own | line | Survived/NoCoverage | mutator | replacement | rows), source and spec text read with git show 3edac64:, assertion presence checked with git grep -n` on that same commit. Nothing asked: no label, no review, no thread resolution.
Correction to my own triage comment (6741531527): the pile counts were wrong in the published text, and here is the pile it dropped
The comment I posted at 13:42:30Z on this pull request announced "5 equivalent with the reason named, 81 test-gap with the specific missing assertion named, 0 needing a reasoned exclusion" and then rendered zero equivalent entries and 86 test-gap entries across 59 locations. The counts and the list disagree, and the fault is mine alone: the classification step compared a mutated-label string against a key built differently, matched nothing, and silently left every entry in pile 2 while the heading kept the number I had intended. The per-location descriptions in that comment are unaffected and stand as written; what was missing is pile 1, and the totals below are the ones the earlier comment should have carried.
Pile 1, as it should have read - equivalent mutant, reason named per mutant (5)
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:633, the StringLiteral replaced by """" - the comparison is against the fixed constants ENOENT and ENOTDIR; emptying one of them changes the decision only for an error whose code is the empty string, and no fs call reachable from this file produces one. Reason, not proof: a double carrying an empty code would tell them apart and no test injects one.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:633, the StringLiteral replaced by """" - the comparison is against the fixed constants ENOENT and ENOTDIR; emptying one of them changes the decision only for an error whose code is the empty string, and no fs call reachable from this file produces one. Reason, not proof: a double carrying an empty code would tell them apart and no test injects one.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:695, the StringLiteral replaced by """" - getErrorCode returns undefined or a real errno string, never the empty string, so the mutated comparison is permanently false and the branch decision is unchanged.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:762, the StringLiteral replaced by """" - the comparison is against the platform identifier win32; Node reports a short list of platform identifiers and none of them is the empty string, so every reachable input takes the same branch.
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:802, the StringLiteral replaced by """" - the same shape as 695, at the second backup-cleanup site.
Corrected totals
Equivalent mutant with the reason named: 5. Test gap with the specific missing assertion named: 81 entries across 59 locations. Needs a reasoned exclusion: 0. Sum 5 + 81 + 0 = 86, which is CI's 78 surviving plus 8 uncovered for head 3edac64036eb6666aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629, with nothing in a fourth category.
Five of the entries that comment listed under pile 2 belong to the same source lines as the five above, and they stay in pile 2 because their observable difference is real: src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:633 (ConditionalExpression "false"; LogicalOperator "code === "ENOENT" && code === "ENOTDIR""; ConditionalExpression "false"; ConditionalExpression "false"; BlockStatement "{}"); src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:695 (ConditionalExpression "false"); src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:737 (ConditionalExpression "false"); src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:762 (ConditionalExpression "true"); src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:802 (ConditionalExpression "false").
A rendering defect from the same comment, since it makes the entries hard to read: I wrapped CI's replacement values in quotes when several of them are already quoted, so sixteen rows printed a run of three quote characters instead of naming the value. From here on I write it as words - "the StringLiteral replaced by the empty string" - rather than nesting quotes. Nothing else in that comment is being restated, retracted or amended; a published comment is append-only for me, so this correction sits beside it rather than inside it.
Nothing asked: no label, no review, no thread resolution. Same instruments as before - node v22.23.4, git from C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe, mutant rows parsed from CI's pr-comment.md inside artifact 13675510301, source read with git show at 3edac64.

Production-mode knip is what fails this PR: knip --production --treat-config-hints-as-errors prints `Unused files (1)` / src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (check-run 129160792900 at 2026-11-09T12:30:46Z), while the development-mode run of the same command is clean at the same head. Nothing outside __tests__ imports the module here - a fixed-string search finds 148 spec rows and 8 self-references and no production importer - because the consumers are the sibling unit Zoo-Code-Org#2359: src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts and src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts. Naming the module in workspaces.src.entry tells knip it is a root of this unit while no production caller exists yet, which is exactly why production mode reports it and development mode does not.
This declaration is scaffolding: once the consumer content from Zoo-Code-Org#2359 lands the module has a real caller and the entry line becomes unnecessary.
The resulting config object is byte-identical to the one the sibling unit Zoo-Code-Org#2385 already ships (blob 111f022 at fc2dc75 and at c4fc421), so the two units converge on one spelling of the rule instead of diverging into two. knip.json is blob 1f4956f at this head, at merge base e487cd7 and at main tip 18861b2, so refreshing onto main cannot clear this required context.
Price, with the CI gate's own selector (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs blob 7dfe000, identical at this head and at the tip): the commit leg against parent 3edac64 prices 0 counted executable lines and 0 mutant selectors, and the CI-shape leg against tip 18861b2 through merge-tree and commit-tree prices extension 386 changed executable lines / 119 selectors, unchanged from the pristine head, which matches CI's own mutation job 129160793410 printing `Mutation-testing 1 package(s) from merge base e487cd7: extension (386 lines)`. That job's success is not a clean pass: it printed `extension timed out 12 of 372 valid mutants` and a non-empty advisory (survived mutants at safeWriteText.ts:102, 123, 124, 125, 127, 137, 139 and fileLock.ts:61, 73, 80, 86, 173, 183), and timed-out mutants are not counted as kills.

Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:
- Around line 367-388: Update the safeWriteText test to describe and verify the
post-commit backup-unlink retry: rename it to reflect retry success and assert
that the backup unlink is attempted twice. Replace the comments claiming the
failure is swallowed and an orphan is acceptable; remove this test instead if it
duplicates the retry coverage near line 436.
Review comments at @src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:
- Around line 836-843: Update the backup cleanup in the releaseBackupOnSuccess
path to reuse the existing two-attempt unlink helper instead of swallowing a
single fs.unlink failure. If cleanup still fails, preserve the backup path on
the propagated error so callers can locate the orphaned copy; retain the
existing behavior when cleanup succeeds.
- Around line 410-425: Unify `resolveLockKey` and `canonicalLockPath` so both
lock callers use the same key-resolution and error policy; first establish a
policy that preserves the required behavior in both `safeWriteText.spec.ts` and
`fileLock.spec.ts`, since their documented error handling conflicts. Have one
helper delegate to the other, then update the stale lock-contract comments to
describe the actual shared behavior.
- Around line 631-640: Update the authorization and revalidation flow around
`resolvedDir` and `expected.dir` to capture the directory’s canonical location
when it is authorized, then compare the current canonical location against that
captured value. Retain the recorded directory name for revalidation so a later
move still fails.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts:
- Line 36: Update the mockedLstat setup to use a properly typed Stats double
instead of asserting through unknown to BigIntStats. Reuse the
Stats.prototype-based double pattern if lstat is needed; otherwise remove the
unused mock.
Review comments at @src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts:
- Around line 161-166: Update the file-lock test around acquireFileLock(a) to
assert that lockfile.lock receives b with realpath disabled and that
fsPromises.readlink is called exactly 64 times, so the test verifies the
expected lock key and total hop count.
Review comments at @src/utils/fileLock.ts:
- Around line 82-86: Replace the inline error-code extraction in the file-lock
error handling with the existing getErrorCode helper, importing it from
./errorCode. Keep the ENOENT and ENOTDIR checks unchanged so non-string codes
follow the helper’s established behavior.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add unit tests that reject a non-symlink, non-regular staging path before
opening or publishing it, and reject an ancestor with the same inode but a
different device before commit.
- Security Boundaries:
Create staging files and backups with restrictive Windows DACLs before writing
content. Apply the target DACL before publication, and fail closed if it cannot
be preserved. Add Windows filesystem tests for restricted targets and DACL
failures.
- Persistence Integrity:
Fail lock acquisition when canonicalization cannot establish the key, or use a
stable shared key. Add a concurrent merge test with a transient `realpath`
failure.
- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Track the staging path until removal succeeds. Retry transient cleanup failures
and report any remaining orphan with its path while indicating that publication
succeeded. Remove the staging directory after its file is removed.

This test's name and comment contradict the implementation, and the test does not check the behavior that makes it pass.
The comment says that a failed post-commit backup unlink is "swallowed" and that an orphaned backup is "the documented acceptable outcome". The implementation does something else. Step 6 retries the unlink, and if both attempts fail it throws OrphanedPublishedBackupError. The test at line 457 asserts that error. This test passes only because mockRejectedValueOnce makes the first attempt fail and the default mock makes the retry succeed. The test does not assert the retry.
Rename the test to describe the retry. Assert two backup-unlink calls. This duplicates the test at line 436, so you can delete it instead.

Update the safeWriteText test to describe and verify the post-commit
backup-unlink retry: rename it to reflect retry success and assert that the
backup unlink is attempted twice. Replace the comments claiming the failure is
swallowed and an orphan is acceptable; remove this test instead if it duplicates
the retry coverage near line 436.

Make resolveLockKey and canonicalLockPath one implementation. They already compute different keys.
This PR adds two lock-key functions that the comments describe as equal: resolveLockKey here and canonicalLockPath in src/utils/fileLock.ts (lines 49-93). They handle errors differently:
canonicalDirKey (line 355) treats only ENOENT as missing. It rethrows ENOTDIR, EACCES and EIO. The spec at safeWriteText.spec.ts line 1674 requires that rejection.
canonicalLockPath (fileLock.ts line 86) treats ENOENT and ENOTDIR as missing. It returns the lexical path for every other error. fileLock.spec.ts lines 74-98 require that fallback.
These are opposite policies. On an EACCES or ENOTDIR ancestor, resolveLockKey throws while acquireFileLock locks the lexical path. The only parity test (fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts line 54) covers the symlink-alias happy path.
Some comments also describe a contract that the code does not have. fileLock.ts lines 154-161 and fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts line 45 say that safeWriteJson locks resolveLockKey(target) or passes an already-canonical key. In fact, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts line 100 calls acquireFileLock(absoluteFilePath) with a lexical path. Today withFileLock and safeWriteJson agree only because both go through canonicalLockPath. If a later consumer (#1911) uses resolveLockKey as its key, the two lock paths can diverge.
Choose one rule (fail closed or lexical fallback). Then export a single helper and make the other function delegate to it. For example, export canonicalLockPath and implement resolveLockKey as return canonicalLockPath(absoluteFilePath), or the reverse. Correct the stale comments in the same change.

Unify `resolveLockKey` and `canonicalLockPath` so both lock callers use the same
key-resolution and error policy; first establish a policy that preserves the
required behavior in both `safeWriteText.spec.ts` and `fileLock.spec.ts`, since
their documented error handling conflicts. Have one helper delegate to the
other, then update the stale lock-contract comments to describe the actual
shared behavior.

Compare against the authorized canonical directory.
If a caller records a directory through a symlink, an unchanged directory can fail this check and abort the write. Capture its canonical location at authorization time and compare against that value. Keep the recorded name for revalidation so a later move still fails.

The failure path deletes the backup silently, which breaks the orphaned-copy contract.
Step 3 and Step 6 retry the backup unlink twice. If both attempts fail, they report the leftover path through OrphanedBackupError or OrphanedPublishedBackupError. This failure path makes a single fs.unlink(backupPath).catch(() => {}) call instead. One trigger is PostCommitDurabilityError (line 777) together with a transient Windows EBUSY/EPERM handle on the backup. In that case, a full copy of the previous content stays beside the target and no caller receives its path. That is the outcome the two error classes exist to prevent.
Reuse the same two-attempt helper here. If the unlink still fails, attach the orphan path to the propagated error, for example as a property on originalError or by wrapping it.

Update the backup cleanup in the releaseBackupOnSuccess path to reuse the
existing two-attempt unlink helper instead of swallowing a single fs.unlink
failure. If cleanup still fails, preserve the backup path on the propagated
error so callers can locate the orphaned copy; retain the existing behavior when
cleanup succeeds.

Replace the unjustified as unknown as BigIntStats double assertion with a typed Stats double.
fs.lstat resolves to Stats, not BigIntStats, so the asserted type is also wrong. No nearby comment explains why the cast is unavoidable. safeWriteText.spec.ts lines 73-78 already build a typed double from Stats.prototype. Use the same approach here, or remove the lstat mock, because neither code path calls lstat in this spec.
As per path instructions (AGENTS.md): "Exceptions for unavoidable casts require a nearby explanation and maintainer approval."

Assert the exact lock key and hop count so the surviving mutants on fileLock.ts lines 61 and 73 fail.
toBeLessThanOrEqual(64) also passes for a walk that stops after 8 hops. Stryker reports that Math.min(0, remainingLinkHops - frameBudget) at line 73 survives, and this is why. Trace of the implementation as written:
The walk makes 8 frames of 8 hops, which is 64 readlink calls.
64 mod 3 = 1, so the walk stops on b.
realpath reports ENOENT up to the root, so the key is the lexical b.
The line-73 mutant makes only 8 hops and stops on c (8 mod 3 = 2). Pin both values.

What this is
Unit 1 of the five-way split of #1914, planned and issued on #2020. Whole-file module cut, 6 files, no partial hunks:
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.tswith its spec and integration spec,src/utils/fileLock.tswith its two spec files, andsrc/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts. It is one of five independent pull requests rather than a stack - nothing in it depends on any other unit, and it compiles on thismaintip alone.This unit introduces no new version of anything.
safeWriteText.tsis blob9701d4b3b688andfileLock.tsis blob2ab8179b00cf, and both are #1914 own blobs, already under review there. Nothing in this pull request is a fresh take on a contested file. What it does is make 386 of #1914 1,044 counted executable lines reviewable at a size one person can read in a sitting.Numbers, with the base named
Base:
maintipe487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629, which is this commit own parent (git merge-base --is-ancestorexits 0 against it, so the gate merge-base and the base coincide).Counted executable lines: 386 against the 500 limit, headroom 114. Per file:
safeWriteText.ts352 andfileLock.ts34. The four__tests__files count for nothing, becausepackageForPathreturns no package for test paths.Added and deleted lines, beside that number and not instead of it: 2,942 (2,936 added, 6 deleted) over 6 files.
zdt split measureagainst this base printed the following, quoted exactly as measured, with the exit code exactly as measured:exit code 1. That exit code is reporting the 2,942 against the 1,000 hard added-deleted cap, not the executable-line cap; the executable-line number, which is what the CI gate measures against 500, is 386.
Typecheck:

Named rather than left silent: this unit has no skipped tests, and the sixtest.skipIf(process.platform === "win32")skips in this split chain live insrc/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, which belongs to held unit cut5 - POSIX-only behaviour that does run on Linux CI.Why 2,942 is not pushed lower, stated so it reads as a decision and not an oversight: five of the six files are whole new files, and the largest is a test file whose single top-level
describespans lines 113-1486, 1,374 added-deleted lines on its own. Any cap-legal re-cut of that file needs a test-layout change onmainfirst, and that prerequisite is booked as a named zero-counted-line row on Tracking fws U5: guarded-write core (create-if-absent and compare-and-swap) #2020 (comment 6739719219) with its evidence - a slice ending inside one of those describes does not parse (TS1005 at safeWriteText.spec.ts:819).Gate numbers and what they mean
Two different questions get two numbers, and the base is named for both. Counted executable lines come from the repository own
buildManifestinscripts/stryker-diff.mjs, run through.tmp-cr-audit/u8-measure-chain.mjs(node v22.23.4), with per-path diffs at--unified=0becauseparseChangedLinesmarks every line a hunk covers andselectFromGitpasses--unified=0at scripts/stryker-diff.mjs:306. Added-and-deleted lines are the plaingit diff --shortstatfigure, printed beside the counted number and not instead of it.The base named below is the current
maintip, which is also this commit own parent.git merge-base --is-ancestorexits 0 against it, so the CI gate merge-base computation and my base coincide exactly and no two-dot approximation is involved in these figures.Mutation gate: local attempt, and an honest deferral
A local
zdt mutation preflightwas attempted at this base. The wrapper printedpreflight exit code: 0and=> PASS (local gate green)while writingno reports (mutation testing not applicable or run incomplete)and a digest with an empty package list, and the wrapped Stryker log says why: it instrumented the changed files and then died withCannot find module 'vitest/config'from its.stryker-tmpsandbox copy ofvitest.config.ts, whose require stack resolvesviteout of the parent clone.pnpmstore rather than through this worktree junctionednode_modules. A green verdict with an empty report set is not a green verdict, so this pull request carries no local mutation reading. CI mutation-diff will be the first real one.That deferral is safe for two measured reasons rather than evasive ones. First, #1914 mutation-diff has never produced a mutant verdict for this content at all: it fails on the 1,044-versus-500 width gate before the runner reports, so there is no mutation history being inherited here. Second, if a surviving mutant does appear, the answer is test hardening, which lands in
__tests__paths and therefore costs zero counted executable lines, becausepackageForPathreturns nothing for test paths. A mutation-red cannot move this unit further from mergeable than it already is.Content fidelity
Every file here is #1914 verbatim content, taken from the merge commit that closes it (
7209a5f1681b387e397434172707cb028e33ec3b, tree3c919730a813) with no edits. The five whole-file units of this split are path-disjoint and their file sets sum to the 26 files #1914 changes. Applied onto thismaintip they produce tree83cdd9cb0223, andgit diff --name-only 83cdd9cb0223 7209a5f1681b387e397434172707cb028e33ec3bprints 14 files - every one of them newer content that arrived onmainafter the merge base5319fe91fb0caf4aa4ec66aac68fa03744ebbc23, none of them among the 26. The split therefore neither loses nor invents content, and each unit measures the same counted executable lines against the merge base and against this tip.Series housekeeping
This split was planned and issued on #2020 before any split pull request opened (comments 6738707507, 6739312036, 6739376708, 6739428842, 6739719219), and the version question for the contested files is asked there in comment 6739877102. #1914 stays open until the units of its split have been reviewed, because its review history is the only record of what has already been said about this content; its 14 open review rows were answered on the pull request itself. On #1914 there is no review event from anyone except the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone except the bot (140 review events over 2 pages, 81 from the bot and 59 from the author account, 0 from anyone else).
No
.changesetfile and no CHANGELOG edit, per AGENTS.md.src/eslint-suppressions.jsonis not touched here: the 96-to-94 count change forcore/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.tsbelongs to held unit cut4 and to that unit alone, so no two pull requests in this split edit that file.knip.jsonis likewise not touched here - held unit cut3 owns its one entry, and the fact that #1914 and #2359 both carry blob34450fc441a3whilemain, #1911, #1912, #1913, #1917 and #2368 carry1f4956faa6ccis a known conflict cost of the series, recorded on #2020, not a mistake of this unit.
