Unit U5c-1 of the planned split of #2357 (plan of record: #1991 (comment)). It moves src/utils/fileLock.ts and the two specs that prove its lock identity, and it adds the one proof that was missing.

Source and shape

• Source of record is the commit pair 5319fe91fb0caf4aa4ec66aac68fa03744ebbc23 → d6fa7117e07b70455da24e4722b47eb0b202fa6e (feat(file-safety): guard machinery in the writer, with the identity and rights refusals (U5-B, split 1/2 of #1914, #1375) #2357's own base → head), not a stacked PR head.

• src/utils/fileLock.ts is a compiled union, produced by replaying 2357's lock-identity content onto the file feat(file-safety): land safeWriteText as its own unit (u1 of the #2357 split plan, content unchanged) #2385 landed — replay, named as replay: 2357's split _lockCanonicalKey plus 2385's lockArtefactSpelling, so the canonical key and the caller-captured artefact spelling both survive. Union blob 757041f107ef004d0607cf57890e4d7c6a5eb644, 14,393 B / 298 line-endings, against 2357's 11,224 B / 241 and 2385's 6,479 B / 153.

• src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts is new content written for this unit: no carried spec distinguishes a caller-supplied artefact spelling from a derived one, and a unit carries the proof for the behaviour it moves. Blob 35f953a09a82cd3b783df900d8c2961114f26b38, 4,644 B / 103 line-endings. It acquires once with no spelling handed in and reads the canonical key and the derived artefact back from that acquisition, then acquires with a caller-supplied spelling and asserts the handed-in string reaches the library verbatim, and acquires twice more on derived spellings and asserts all three artefacts repeat exactly and differ from the supplied one.

• Nothing in that spec spells a path by hand. acquireFileLock canonicalizes with fs.promises.realpath while lockArtefactSpelling canonicalizes with fsSync.realpathSync.native, and a windows runner spelled the temp directory its own way through the environment: the failure this unit's first head had on platform-unit-test (windows-latest) was the test's expectation (C:\Users\RUNNER~1\…, the 8.3 form it had built) against the code's canonical key (C:\Users\runneradmin\…), with the lockfilePath line identical on both sides — the behaviour held, the test's spelling guess did not. Every expectation now comes from the code's own output, so it does not matter which spelling a host's realpath hands to the test.

Budget, priced with merge-base semantics against the sha this branch forks from

Base: the unit's own merge base e487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629, which git merge-base upstream/main 9c08f7bafdd6… still returns (measured against upstream/main = ba105e65cc745959494427eeb5aa0f4a0e893a07, read from GET /repos/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/branches/main at 2026-11-10T00:03:20Z: one renovate dependency commit whose parent is e487cd7b2a…). The PR object's own base.sha is the same sha and is read as a fossil. Priced with the repo's own gate (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs, blob 7dfe0006d2d5c7e4d2282f65f68b8ed5f16866bc, 30,108 B / 869 line-endings), which resolves its own base through resolvePullRequestBase and then diffs against merge-base(base, head) (lines 284-298): every synthetic commit below is single-parent off that base, so its merge-base is that base and the price is a merge-base price, not a tip-diff that would charge main's movement as drift. selectFromGit prices the checked-out tree, so worktreeHEAD == askedHead was printed before every row.

| measure | value |

| --- | --- |

| a+d | 990 (968 insertions + 22 deletions) / 4 files — of the 990, 12 lines are production code (src/utils/fileLock.ts) and 325 are tests |

| gate charge, named by package | deciding package extension: 86 counted executable lines of the 500 cap (MAX_CHANGED_LINES, line 11) and 31 selectors of the 400 cap (MAX_MUTANTS, line 12); the gate throws per package at line 265, so the deciding figure is a per-package charge and not a sum. One package is charged here (src/utils/fileLock.ts), so the deciding figure and the total coincide; headroom 414 lines and 369 selectors. The +5 lines and +2 selectors since fb076148fdec… are the fail-closed recheck (head lines 265-275); the comment hunk beside it charges 0 lines |

| drift named separately | nothing charged: main moved from e487cd7b2a… to ba105e65cc74… after this branch forked, and merge-base(main, head) is still e487cd7b2a…, so main's one bot commit is a main-side delta this unit neither carries nor is priced for |

990 a+d sits in the 400-to-1,000 band (10 lines under the hard cap), which the split rule allows with a rationale in the PR body. The rationale is that the three smaller whole-file shapes each drop one of the two proofs for the behaviour the unit moves; all four shapes were priced against this same base with the same gate, each as a single-parent commit, and the gate charge is 81 lines / 29 selectors in package extension in every one of them:

| shape | commit | a+d |

| --- | --- | --- |

| union + fileLock.spec.ts + fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts (this unit, as opened) | fb076148fd… | 653 (631+22) |

| the same shape plus round 27's kill tests and the fail-closed recheck (this unit, now) | 9c08f7bafd… | 990 (968+22) |

| union + fileLock.spec.ts (drops the new proof) | 4c23d04251… | 550 (528+22) |

| union + the new proof (drops 2357's carried spec) | e0d43d588d… | 345 (323+22) |

| union alone (code with no proof) | f060f62438… | 242 (220+22) |

| union + both specs + the deferred canonical-key spec | b1de2cc6ff… | 720 (698+22) |

A unit that moves lock-identity behaviour with neither of its proofs, or a proof shipped without the behaviour it proves, is the thing the split exists to avoid, so the unit keeps all three files and discloses the band. Dropping the new proof saves 103 a+d and nothing else: the spec adds no counted executable line and no selector.

Verification (node v22.23.4, C:/work/Zoo-Code-fork/.tmp-node22/node_modules/node/bin/node.exe, on the tree the hooks committed)

The committed tree 96a93ad4d232f6573899c0a36c305be515aba11f at head 9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88 is the tree every number below was taken from, so all of it is a number about the pushed head. The four files are byte-identical to their blobs at that commit (src/utils/fileLock.ts a998680becb136ccc9345f6daf25fd1fbc3fc139, 15,005 B / 310 line-endings; fileLock.spec.ts 3495aad9e1d161cceadf55e055d38a3d5de680c7, 21,130 B / 469; fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts e295f007a232343da7a18e30dba89af432523f7d, 8,178 B / 171; fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts 34cf97089e76a985ace814c78756bcb3cf05cdd7, 3,757 B / 96), and that identity was re-checked after the mutation band had finished mutating the same files in place.

• Suites: vitest run --config vitest.unit.config.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts core/task-persistence/__tests__/persistenceTrace.spec.ts (vitest 4.1.12, cwd src, CI=1) → exit 0, 4 files / 30 tests passed, 1,050 B stdout + 689 B stderr, pair 49772e91c419e91b. fileLock.spec.ts alone is exit 0 with 17 passed (1,451 B + 0 B, pair fcfb5026f9fde04e).
• Type check, the declaring package's own config: tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit (typescript 5.9.3, cwd src) → exit 0, 0 B + 0 B, pair e3b0c44298fc1c14.
• Lint, paths relative to the declaring package: eslint --max-warnings=0 utils/fileLock.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts (cwd src, the package's own config) → exit 0, 0 B + 0 B, pair e3b0c44298fc1c14. --prune-suppressions was deliberately not run, because it rewrites src/eslint-suppressions.json; the file is unchanged in the commit and in git status afterwards.
• Prettier on the same four paths → exit 0, 66 B + 0 B, pair 17aa973d3f004560.
• knip as the repo declares it (knip --treat-config-hints-as-errors, cwd = repo root): exit 1, 327 B + 104 B, pair 5cf096ddc7615422 — byte-identical to the pair at the base and at the previous head, i.e. the four unused TaskStatus enum members and the knip.json ignoreUnresolved hint are pre-existing findings in files this unit does not touch.
• Control on the fail-closed recheck, named as a control: with only that hunk reverted (the .catch(() => lockKey) form back in place) fileLock.spec.ts is exit 1, 1 failed / 16 passed, 2,543 B + 0 B, pair 4d261c593c75f719, the failure being releases the held lock and rethrows when the post-acquisition recheck cannot canonicalize with promise resolved "undefined" instead of rejecting; restored, exit 0, 17 passed, pair 20147b590260d41f.
• Controls on the ENOENT/ENOTDIR rule at line 150, one per mutant of that line: condition replaced by true → exit 1, 6,596 B / 84 le, pair abeef0218d88bcbc (four tests fail, including the ENOTDIR climb and the temporarily-absent referent); the line's first string emptied → exit 1, 5,490 B / 69 le, pair 0f26f5462fe4e3eb (three of the same fail); both reverted → exit 0, 17 passed, pair fcfb5026f9fde04e, file byte-identical to the committed blob.
• Mutation band on this head, in place, --dryRunTimeoutMinutes 45 over the gate's own 31 selectors: exit 0, 82 mutants = 79 Killed / 2 Timeout / 1 Survived / 0 NoCoverage, so Survived + NoCoverage is 1; the same command at fb076148fdec… reproduced CI's blocking set (26) exactly, which is what makes the 26-row disposition a like-for-like comparison rather than a different instrument. Report mutation.json 4,382,081 B.
• Fidelity: zdt split verify — see the section below.
• Hooks, judged by what they did rather than by their exit codes. pre-commit ran lint-staged on the staged files (pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 --no-warn-ignored, then prettier --write), both COMPLETED, and the commit output (2,743 B, pair ccf0d888593448c9) is the hook's own log, not mine. pre-push ran pnpm run check-types, which is root tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit followed by turbo check-types: the push log (5,948 B / 48 le, pair 400991ee12a7e5d8, PUSH_EXIT=0, fb076148fd..9c08f7bafd) shows 12 successful, 12 total with 11 cache hits and 1 cache miss — zoo-code:check-types executed (6d20be5edc2e7c4a), so the declaring package's own type check really compiled this content; a cache hit would have proved nothing about it, and the miss is what makes the line a fact about this tree. The hook program was present in this worktree (.husky/pre-push, core.hooksPath = .husky/_), and nothing was pushed with --no-verify.

Fidelity contract

zdt split verify --contract .tmp-b1-1404/r27-contracts/U5c1a.json --worktree <this worktree> --head 9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88 against base e487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629 exits 0 with PASS, standalone: 990 a+d / 4 files SOFT-OVERSHOOT (rationale required in PR body) — the rationale is the budget section above — and four REWORK (plan-anchored …) rows, one per file. 1,071 B / 8 le, pair 96adeb772a3ab3d9.

The contract is round 26's U5c1a contract with the head moved and two deviations added, so the drift record is the record a reviewer of this head would want: the recheck fix at lines 265-275 with its control pairs and its +5 counted lines, and the mutation-debt closure with the band numbers and the single declared-equivalent row. The unit stays anchored as plan-anchored rework against #1991 (comment) rather than as a port of 5319fe91fb… → d6fa7117e0…, and that is still a measured choice: anchored as a port the same content exits non-zero against 2357's own blobs, which is what the union row in the source section is for.

Round 27: the five review threads and the 26 mutation findings

CodeRabbit reviewed fb076148fdec… as CHANGES_REQUESTED (review 5833785431, body 13,578 B / 336 line-endings, "Actionable comments posted: 5") and posted five threads, all on src/utils/fileLock.ts. All five are row asks — each asks for a change in a row or in the proof over a row — and all five are answered on this head with author replies: 4518779208 → 4519463517, 4518779220 → 4519463751, 4518779232 → 4519463982, 4518779241 → 4519464166, 4518779262 → 4519464369. Two of them changed the code: the recheck at lines 265-275 now releases the held lock and rethrows instead of answering an uninspectable ancestor with the caller's own spelling, and the lock-key comment at lines 243-252 no longer claims a derivation safeWriteJson.ts:75/:100 does not perform. The other three changed the proof: three ancestor-walk tests in the artefact spec, the exactly-64 cycle assertion plus a 20-link chain test, and a retarget-exhaustion test. Comment 4518779208 quotes the repo's own remedy — "When Stryker reports a surviving mutant on changed code, prefer a test that kills it" — and that is the order this round worked in.

The mutation-diff report on fb076148fdec… (comment 6752649914, marker blocking:26 advisories:0, package row extension | 81 | 82 valid | 53 killed | 3 timeout | 22 survived | 4 no coverage) is answered row by row in comment 6754862396: 26 rows, each with its status at this head, the first failing covered test Stryker recorded and that test's recorded reason. 23 are killed by tests, 1 is a Timeout (ConditionalExpression → false on the ancestor walk's termination line, Hit limit reached (8701/8700) — a Timeout is not in the blocking class), 1 is disposed by the rewrite of the line it mutated, and 1 is declared equivalent with the mechanism named (ConditionalExpression → true at line 139: missing.length is never negative, so it is the same condition as the >= sibling row, and path.join of one already-normalised absolute path returns that path; the one input where they differ is a Windows volume root as the canonical ancestor with nothing missing, which is not reachable on the job's platform). No Stryker disable comment was added anywhere and no gate-config exclusion is requested.

One distinction the repo's own gate makes and this body should not blur: the 500-line and 400-mutant caps are size refusals, and they are the only thing that renders mutation-diff as Mutation gate failed. A survivor list on a delta that fits is a separate author debt — mutation-diff is not among the six required contexts of ruleset 15494382, so it does not block the merge — and it is still what the report asks the author to close. Hence tests rather than exemptions, and hence the price going up (81 → 86 counted lines, 29 → 31 selectors) instead of the survivor list going down by suppression.

What is deliberately not in this unit

U5c-1 ships fileLock.ts without the canonical-key proof. src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts (67 added lines, 0 counted executable lines) does not come along, and the reason is measured: it imports resolveLockKey from src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, and that file does not exist at this unit's base. With it in the tree the declaring package's own tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit exits 2 with utils/__tests__/fileLock.canonicalKey.spec.ts(8,32): error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../services/file-safety/safeWriteText' or its corresponding type declarations. (170 B stdout, pair 1a497dcbb3defe18); without it the same command exits 0 with 0 B + 0 B. Shipping a compiled unit whose deferred proof is named and evidenced beats shipping a broken import, so that spec is held as the first unit to open after #2385 lands — 660 a+d against 970b3a47ba…, and 720 a+d if it forked from main today (b1de2cc6ff…, zdt split verify exit 0).

Merge order

This branch forks from main at e487cd7b2a… and waits on nothing in flight. Planned order for the rest of the chain: U5c-1 → U5c-2 → U5c-3 → U5c-4 → U5c-8, with U5c-5 → U5c-6 and U5c-7 placeable anywhere after U5c-1. Each unit is re-priced immediately before it opens, against the sha its own branch will fork from, with merge-base semantics — never against a stacked head and never against a hypothetical main.

Scope note

This unit touches neither #2357 nor #2385 and asks nothing of any reviewer except the equivalence claim in comment 6754862396, which a maintainer may overrule: there is still no review event from anyone except the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone except the bot. The five CodeRabbit threads on fb076148fdec… are answered with author replies 4519463517, 4519463751, 4519463982, 4519464166 and 4519464369; on this head the CodeRabbit check completed skipped at 2026-11-09T23:58:49Z, which is that leg's own label-configuration skip rather than agreement with anything, and GET /pulls/2393/reviews still returns one row, the bot's. #2385's Persistence-Integrity ask — coverage for a caller-supplied tempPath — is uncovered today and is scheduled into U5c-4, the test-only unit that already owns safeWriteJson.test.ts and where a focused spec costs 0 counted lines; U5c-3 keeps its own interruption coverage.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • File locks now consistently identify files reached through symbolic links, helping prevent separate locks for different paths to the same file.
  • Lock acquisition handles paths with missing components more reliably and surfaces unexpected path-resolution errors.
  • If a file’s canonical path changes while a lock is being acquired, the lock is refreshed before the operation runs. Repeated changes stop the operation rather than run it under an outdated lock.
  • Failures during the operation remain the primary error if releasing the lock also fails. A release failure after a successful operation is logged without replacing its result.
• Improvements
  • Lock-wait tracing reports the canonical file path when enabled.

File locking now canonicalizes lock keys through symlinks and missing path components. withFileLock rechecks the key after acquisition and retries if it changes. The API supports caller-supplied or derived lock artefact paths.

Changes: File Locking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Canonical lock-key resolution src/utils/fileLock.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts	Lock-key resolution follows symlink referents, resolves relative targets against canonical parents, and limits traversal to 64 hops. Missing components use the nearest canonical ancestor. Other resolution errors propagate. Tests cover aliases, missing paths, dangling links, cycles, and relative targets.
Artefact paths and lock acquisition src/utils/fileLock.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts	FileLockOptions accepts a supplied artefact spelling, and lockArtefactSpelling derives one when omitted. acquireFileLock locks a canonical key. Tests cover artefact selection and lock-wait events that report the canonical key.
Retargeting and release lifecycle src/utils/fileLock.ts, src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts	withFileLock rechecks the key after acquisition, releases and retries when it changes, and stops after three retargets. Tests cover recheck errors, callback behavior, and release failures.

Possibly related issues

• Advisory file lock keys on the resolved path string, so a link name and its referent take different locks (follow-up to #1405, head 94dc7c40cf) #2375: The change canonicalizes lock paths and follows link targets, addressing the described split between link-path and referent lock keys.
• Prevent split locks across safeWriteJson symlink replacement #2374: The post-acquisition key check releases and retries when the canonical key changes.
• Advisory lock key must be identity-backed, not realpath text: an NTFS 8.3 alias and its long form take different locks #2356: The change canonicalizes paths, but the summaries do not establish inode-based identity for NTFS aliases.

Possibly related PRs

• Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2368: Both changes canonicalize lock identities for path aliases while preserving the caller path for the operation.
• Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2385: Both changes add artefactSpelling and lockArtefactSpelling.
• Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2357: Both changes implement canonical-path locking and retarget checks; this change also covers artefact spelling.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 2c79c

The change canonicalizes lock keys so alias and direct paths share one lock. However, JSON writes that go through acquireFileLock do not recheck the key after waiting. If a symlink is replaced by a concurrent write, two writers could hold different locks for the same file and one update could be lost. The author acknowledges the gap and defers the design decision. A maintainer should accept or resolve this before merging.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives detailed implementation context and reproducible test results. It references related issues, but it does not include the template’s explicit “Closes: #…” field or completed pre-submission checklist.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The changed lock code does not introduce a concrete security-boundary failure. Existing production callers do not supply artefactSpelling, and the changed paths do not alter approval or allowlist controls.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The prior failure remains unresolved. src/utils/fileLock.ts:220-223 acquires a canonical lock without rechecking the key after waiting. If safeWriteJson replaces a file symlink while another writer waits, that writer can hold the old referent lock while a third writer locks the replacement path. Both can then merge and write the same JSON concurrently, losing an update. safeWriteJson.ts:100,122-149 uses the direct acquisition path. The base locked the caller’s path instead.

Resolution

After direct acquisition, recheck the canonical key. If it changed, release the lock and retry with a bounded retry count. Release and fail if the recheck fails. Add a regression test with a waiting writer and a concurrent writer after symlink replacement.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

Release failures during recheck and retarget remain untested. The new branches at src/utils/fileLock.ts:273-277 suppress release errors, but the recheck and retarget tests use successful releases. A regression could mask the recheck error or stop the retry.

Resolution

Add focused tests where release rejects during a failed recheck and during a retarget. Assert that the recheck error remains primary and that retargeting continues as intended.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The prior lock cleanup failure remains. src/utils/fileLock.ts:181-192 passes a caller-supplied artefact unchanged while another caller can use the derived artefact for the same canonical key. Concurrent callers can acquire both. In proper-lockfile 4.1.2, the second acquisition replaces the first entry in locks[file]. Releasing the first cancels the second timer and removes the first artefact. The second release then fails, leaving its artefact and the first timer. The first timer can report a compromised lock and throw. The new spec uses a mock and releases the acquisitions sequentially.

Resolution

Ensure concurrent acquisitions for one canonical key use the same lock artefact, including when a caller supplies a spelling. Add a concurrent acquisition test that verifies both releases and timer cleanup.

Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.

Add or strengthen a focused test that fails under the mutation. If the mutant is equivalent, request maintainer approval for the narrowest mutator-specific exclusion and explain why it cannot change behavior:

// Stryker disable next-line ConditionalExpression: normalized input cannot reach the alternate branch
const result = condition ? value : fallback

Which normalisation the windows fix aligned to, and why the assertion no longer depends on the runner's spelling

Aligned to the production route: canonicalLockPath's fs.promises.realpath (it walks fs.readlink, canonicalises with fs.promises.realpath, and re-appends the components that do not exist yet). It is the authority because it is the value the assertions are compared against: acquireFileLock spells the lock key that way before it reaches lockArtefactSpelling. The spec now contains no test-side realpath call at all. It acquires once with nothing handed in, reads the canonical key back as String(vi.mocked(lockfile.lock).mock.calls[0][0]) and the derived artefact as String(call[1].lockfilePath), and builds the caller-supplied spelling under path.dirname(canonicalKey) — the same canonical parent the code itself produced. So every expectation is a comparison of code output with code output, and it does not matter which spelling a host's realpath hands the test: the two routes in play (fs.promises.realpath in canonicalLockPath, fsSync.realpathSync.native in lockArtefactSpelling) can agree or disagree and the assertions read the same way.

What the failing leg had actually shown (platform-unit-test (windows-latest), job 129464221547; log 135,204 B delivered, 135,201 B after the 3-byte EF BB BF BOM that res.text() strips):

-   "C:\\Users\\RUNNER~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\filelock-artefact-spelling-J7MCj9\\task.json"

+   "C:\\Users\\runneradmin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\filelock-artefact-spelling-J7MCj9\\task.json"

    "lockfilePath": "C:\\Users\\RUNNER~1\\…\\captured-before-the-rename.json.lock"

The - line was the test's own spelling, built with fsSync.realpathSync over a temp directory that os.tmpdir() had already handed over as its 8.3 short form; the + line was the code's canonical key, spelled long by fs.promises.realpath. The lockfilePath line — the thing the spec is actually about — was identical on both sides. The behaviour held; the test's spelling guess did not, and the failure site was utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts:44:25 with Number of calls: 1.

Controls, named for what they reproduce:

• The runner's asymmetry, simulated: with fs.promises.realpath re-spelled to the long form and fsSync.realpathSync.native re-spelled to the alias (production code otherwise real), the pre-fix assertions exit 1 on exactly that signature (467 B + 2,618 B, pair d1a4bb1c86f5f33a) and the rewritten assertions pass the same disagreement (exit 0, 2 passed, pair df53009e93df9311). Scratch files deleted.

• The alias condition alone does not reproduce it on this host: cmd /c dir /x confirms 8.3 names exist here (r26-aliasprobe → R26-AL~1), but this host's fs.promises.realpath, fs.realpathSync and fs.realpathSync.native all answer with the alias spelling, so pointing TEMP at …\R26-AL~1 let the rewritten spec pass (exit 0, pair 3bf8ef0f9e5165c7) and let the authentic pre-fix text pass (exit 0, pair 51a41ec2c56f5e50). Reported rather than dressed up as a reproduction.

• Two-sided control on the landed file: dropping the caller spelling (const lockfilePath = lockArtefactSpelling(absoluteFilePath)) exits 1 with 2 failed, both named as tests of utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts (752 B + 3,825 B, pair 76cebbef1dd77ad5). Keeping the option but stopping the derivation (options?.artefactSpelling ?? (absoluteFilePath + ".lock")) exits 0, 13 passed (pair 00828fb50a6d78a7) — for a leaf that exists the two spellings are the same string, so that mutant is equivalent here; the canonical-ancestry half of that behaviour belongs to the canonical-key spec, which is deferred and named in the body.

• Clearance at the pushed head (node v22.23.4): vitest exit 0 / 13 passed in 2 files (babcf57efe3b2815); src's own tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit exit 0 (e3b0c44298fc1c14); eslint --max-warnings=0 from src exit 0 (e3b0c44298fc1c14) with src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged; prettier --check exit 0 (17aa973d3f004560); knip --treat-config-hints-as-errors byte-identical at base, previous head and this head (exit 1, 327 B + 104 B, pair 5cf096ddc7615422 — main's own unused TaskStatus members plus one configuration hint). Price 618 → 653 a+d (631+22); gate charge unchanged: deciding package extension, 81 counted lines of 500 and 29 selectors of 400, one package charged so deciding equals total.

Arms as read, with the instrument named each time (GET /commits/fb076148fdec…/check-runs?per_page=100&filter=all):

• 22:18:30Z — 18 legs: 2 success, 1 skipped (CodeRabbit), 1 cancelled (mutation-diff), 10 in progress, 4 queued.

• 22:22:21Z — 19 legs: 13 success, 4 in progress, 1 skipped, 1 cancelled.

• 2026-11-09T22:24:20.364Z — 21 legs: {"success":16,"in_progress":3,"skipped":1,"cancelled":1}. platform-unit-test (windows-latest) reads status in_progress conclusion null completed null; platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) reads completed / "success"; mutation-diff rows: ["in_progress/null","completed/cancelled"].

The mutation-diff row that reads cancelled is a cancellation, not a failure: run 42710333216 has failed steps = [], one cancelled step (Enforce executable-line scope and run advisory mutation testing) and the annotation Canceling since a higher priority waiting request for Changed-code mutation testing-2393 exists; run 42710611729 for this same head is the live one. GET /pulls/2393/reviews returns 0 rows and the review threads endpoint answers status 404 with "{\r\n "message": "Not Found",\r\n "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/re" — [] from that endpoint would be an endpoint artifact, not an absence — and the CodeRabbit row is its own skip mechanism (Review skipped: excluded by label configuration), not agreement. There is no review event on this PR from anyone except the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone except the bot.

Review comments at @src/utils/fileLock.ts:
- Around line 266-270: Add a retarget-exhaustion test to the existing
withFileLock tests, making realpath return a different directory on each call
until the attempt boundary is reached. Assert rejection with the “kept moving”
error, that the callback never runs, lockfile.lock is called four times, and
every acquired lock is released.
- Around line 47-55: Extend the existing fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts
coverage for lockArtefactSpelling: use a real temporary directory to test a path
two missing directory levels below an existing ancestor and assert the lock path
preserves the missing components in order; also mock fsSync.realpathSync.native
to throw for every ancestor and assert the result is the absolute path with the
.lock suffix.
- Line 112: Update the cycle test to assert exactly 64 readlink calls, and add a
non-cyclic chain test of about 20 links that verifies resolution to the final
referent; together these tests should verify that the depth/frameBudget loop
supports multiple frames and the full hop budget.
- Around line 247-250: Update the comment near withFileLock to accurately
distinguish the paths: safeWriteJson passes a path.resolve result to
acquireFileLock, which canonicalizes it, while withFileLock calls
canonicalLockPath directly and uses _lockCanonicalKey. Remove the claim that
canonicalization always runs inside acquireFileLock.
- Line 263: Update the post-acquire recheck using canonicalLockPath so a failure
is not treated as an unchanged lock key: release the acquired lock and propagate
the recheck error before invoking the operation callback. Add coverage where the
first realpath succeeds and the recheck fails with EACCES, asserting that the
callback does not run.

---

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Regression Evidence:
Add a helper test with an aliased existing ancestor and missing path components,
using an independent expected artefact. Add a repeated-retarget test that checks
rejection, lock release, and that the callback does not run.

- Persistence Integrity:
Revalidate the canonical key after lock acquisition for direct `acquireFileLock`
callers, and release and retry when it changes. Ensure the lock protocol stays
consistent across symlink replacement. Add a regression test with a waiting
writer and a concurrent writer after replacement.

- Lifecycle Resource Cleanup:
Ensure all acquisitions for one canonical key use the same artefact, including
caller-supplied spellings. Add a concurrent symlink/referent test that verifies
both releases and timer cleanup.

The 26 blocking findings from the mutation run on fb076148fdec, disposed one at a time

This answers the report in comment 6752649914, whose own marker reads head:fb076148fdec38bc7ba38a0e581496771fe35989 blocking:26 advisories:0 and whose package row reads extension | 81 | 82 valid | 53 killed | 3 timeout | 22 survived | 4 no coverage | Advisory findings. It is closed with tests: no Stryker disable comment was added, and no gate-config exclusion is requested. src/eslint-suppressions.json is untouched (git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all is empty after every run below).

What was run, and what it printed

The unit delta was mutated locally with the repo's own gate shape (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs blob 7dfe0006d2d5c7e4d2282f65f68b8ed5f16866bc; runStryker at lines 406-437 builds run <config> --force --mutate <selectors> with STRYKER_VITEST_CONFIG, STRYKER_REPORT_DIR, STRYKER_TEMP_DIR, STRYKER_IN_PLACE, STRYKER_VITEST_RELATED, STRYKER_TEST_FILES), on head 9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88 over the 31 selectors the gate itself derives for extension (all in utils/fileLock.ts).

• Selector count and line count come from selectFromGit(dir, e487cd7b2a…, 9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88) with the working tree at that head: 86 counted executable lines of the 500 cap and 31 selectors of the 400 cap (headroom 414 and 369), mergeBase == e487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629, advisories: []. The recheck fix is what took this from 81 lines / 29 selectors; the comment hunk beside it is 0 counted lines.
• Mutants: 82 — 79 Killed / 2 Timeout / 1 Survived / 0 NoCoverage, so the blocking class (Survived + NoCoverage) is 1. Report mutation.json 4,382,081 B, run exit 0.
• At the previous head the same local command reproduced CI's blocking set exactly (82 mutants, 26 blocking, same 26 line/mutator/replacement rows), which is why the comparison below is like-for-like. CI's own run on this head is the authoritative number; the CI mutation job was still queued at the arms read below.
• The unit's suites: vitest run --config vitest.unit.config.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts utils/__tests__/fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts core/task-persistence/__tests__/persistenceTrace.spec.ts (cwd src, pinned node v22.23.4, CI=1) → exit 0, 4 files / 30 tests passed, 1,050 B + 689 B, pair 49772e91c419e91b.
• One instrument fact named so it is not read as a result: the in-place dry run needs --dryRunTimeoutMinutes 45 on this host because Stryker's own default (5) is smaller than the extension dry run takes; at the default the run stops at DryRunExecutor Initial test run timed out!. Nothing about the tests changes with that flag.

Every row of the 26

CI line is the line in the file at fb076148fdec; line at this head is the same source line in src/utils/fileLock.ts blob a998680becb136ccc9345f6daf25fd1fbc3fc139 at 9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88 (the comment hunk is +2 lines from 243, the recheck hunk +12 from 263). Test-name aliases: A = fileLock - retarget bound, fail-closed recheck and release failures (src/utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts), B = acquireFileLock artefact spelling (…fileLock.artefactSpelling.spec.ts), C = fileLock lock-wait trace (…fileLock.lockWaitTrace.spec.ts, new file), D = fileLock - canonical lock keys (…fileLock.spec.ts). Stryker records the first failing covered test and stops, so a row names one test even where several fail.

§ Lines 150's two rows were recorded as killed by a core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts test, because that suite is covered and runs earlier in discovery order. The unit's own tests fail on the same line; measured as controls, named as controls (each on utils/__tests__/fileLock.spec.ts alone, cwd src):

• condition replaced by true (the row's mutant): exit 1, 6,596 B / 84 le, pair abeef0218d88bcbc — canonicalizes the nearest existing ancestor when the file does not exist yet, locks the canonicalized referent of a file symlink whose target is temporarily absent, terminates on a three-link cycle instead of recursing forever and keeps climbing past a parent that is a file instead of failing closed on ENOTDIR all fail.
• first string on the line emptied (the sibling mutant): exit 1, 5,490 B / 69 le, pair 0f26f5462fe4e3eb — the first three of those fail.
• both reverted, byte-identical file (15,005 B / 310 line-endings, sha256-16 3c6d9f496e0e9ebb): exit 0, 17 passed, 1,451 B, pair fcfb5026f9fde04e.

◊ Line 263 at the old head was const currentKey = await canonicalLockPath(operationPath).catch(() => lockKey); its ArrowFunction → () => undefined mutant cannot exist at this head because the arrow it rewrote is gone (CodeRabbit thread 4518779241 asked for that line and it was rewritten, so this row is disposed by the change rather than by a test). The replacement (head lines 265-275) generates four mutants — line 266 BlockStatement → {}, line 276 ConditionalExpression → true, ConditionalExpression → false, EqualityOperator → currentKey === lockKey — and all four are Killed, two of them by the new test A › releases the held lock and rethrows when the post-acquisition recheck cannot canonicalize. Head lines 273-274 (await releaseLock().catch(() => undefined) then throw recheckError) generate no mutant at all under this mutator set: the identical catch(() => undefined) shape already sat at old line 265 (head 277) and generated none there either, so the absence is a property of the mutator set and not of this diff. What proves those two lines is A › releases the held lock and rethrows… plus the control on the whole hunk: revert the hunk and that test fails with AssertionError: promise resolved "undefined" instead of rejecting (exit 1, 1 failed / 16 passed, pair 4d261c593c75f719); restore it and the file is byte-identical to the committed blob and the suite is exit 0, 17 passed (pair 20147b590260d41f).

The one row declared equivalent

Line 139 is return missing.length > 0 ? path.join(realPath, ...missing.reverse()) : realPath. The ConditionalExpression → true mutant is the only survivor, and it is not suppressed. Mechanism: missing.length is never negative, so missing.length >= 0 and true are the same condition — which is why the sibling EqualityOperator → missing.length >= 0 row is the same mutant wearing a different mutator, and why I do not count its recorded kill (an unrelated Task.spec test timing out at 20 s) as proof about the key. With the condition always true, the only difference from the shipped code is that the empty-missing case now goes through path.join(realPath) instead of returning realPath. path.join of one already-absolute, already-normalised path returns that path unchanged on POSIX and on Windows alike — the collapse it performs (trailing separators, repeated separators, . segments) has nothing to work on, because fs.promises.realpath hands back a normalised absolute path with no trailing separator. The one input where they do differ is a Windows volume root as the canonical ancestor with nothing missing: path.join("C:\\") returns "C:", dropping the separator that realPath keeps. That input is reachable only when the path under lock is the drive root, and it is not reachable on the job's platform (ubuntu-latest), where path.join("/") returns "/". So no portable assertion separates the two mutants: any test written to fail on Windows for that case passes on Linux where the mutant is genuinely equivalent, and a platform-conditional assertion would be an assertion about path.join, not about this lock.

That is offered for a maintainer to weigh, not asserted as settled: if the preference is to close the row with an assertion instead, the shape I would take is the one that pins the observable — expect(lockKey).toBe(realPathFor(rootPath)) under a realpath mock that returns a volume root — and I would rather have the maintainer pick between that and the equivalence note than pick it myself and call it a test.

What the numbers do and do not mean

The gate's two caps (500 changed executable lines, 400 valid mutants) are a size refusal: they fire on the width of the mutation surface, and they are the only thing that turns mutation-diff into Mutation gate failed. A surviving-mutant list on a delta that fits is a different instrument — it is not a required context (ruleset 15494382 lists six required contexts and mutation-diff is not among them, read in the round-26 arms read), so it does not block the merge, and it is still the thing the repo's own report asks the author to close. Both readings are why this round added tests and no exemptions: zdt mutation sanity exits 1 on the repo's stryker.config.mjs for a naming/location mismatch (it reads that file, while the discoverRelatedTests: false runtime-activation workaround lives in scripts/stryker-diff.mjs PACKAGE_CONFIGS lines 60-70), so it was reported, not obeyed, and the local band above is what demonstrates activation: 79 of 82 mutants executed and killed.

Arms state for this head, named with its moment: GET /repos/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/commits/9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88/check-runs?filter=all&per_page=100 read at 2026-11-09T23:59:32.812Z returned 16 rows: 14 queued (among them mutation-diff, dependency-review, compile, knip and both platform-unit-test legs) and CodeRabbit completed/skipped at 23:58:49Z, which is that leg's own skip mechanism ("excluded by label configuration" on the second leg), not agreement with anything.

Nothing is asked of any reviewer except the equivalence paragraph above. As before: there is no review event from anyone except the bot and the author, and no non-empty review body from anyone except the bot.

Recheck the lock key after acquisition.

On POSIX, safeWriteJson can replace a leaf symlink while another writer waits for its referent key. The waiting writer can then hold the old key while a new writer holds the path key. Their merges can run concurrently and lose an update.

Release and reacquire if the key changed, or fail closed. Add a waiting-writer regression test.

CI re-ran the mutation gate on this head and printed a second survivor I had called killed locally — publishing it as a finding, not explaining it away

Reads named first: this PR’s head is 9c08f7bafd per GET /pulls/2393 above; the arms snapshot is the single read at 2026-11-10T00:48:01.890Z (66 rows / 20 names, every name completed/success — including all six ruleset-required contexts and mutation-diff, which is not one of them). mutation-diff started 00:11:55 and finished green.

1. The comment I answered last round no longer says what I quoted from it

Comment 6752649914 is written in place by the workflow. My disposition comment quoted its marker as head:fb076148fdec38bc7ba38a0e581496771fe35989 blocking:26 advisories:0 — that is what it read when I read it, and I named it as the fb076148fdec report. It has since been overwritten: at 2026-11-10T00:23:45Z the same comment id holds 12,551 B / 56 le (pair 8186aaf4cdd74983) and its marker now reads head:9c08f7bafdd6467b5c2d4bff61751c5a2e201e88 blocking:2 advisories:0. Anyone following my citation lands on a different body than the one I quoted, so the two states are named here.

2. What CI printed at this head

Package row, verbatim: extension | 86 changed executable lines | 82 valid | 76 killed | 4 timeout | 2 survived | 0 no coverage | Advisory findings. Mutant table, under <h4>src/utils/fileLock.ts</h4>, both rows at line 139:

line	status	mutator	replacement
139	Survived	ConditionalExpression	true
139	Survived	EqualityOperator	missing.length >= 0

3. Where that disagrees with my own run, stated as a disagreement

On the same commit, with the same selector set (31 selectors / 86 counted lines from selectFromGit at e487cd7b2a49…) and the same Stryker knobs, my local band printed 82 mutants: 79 Killed / 2 Timeout / 1 Survived — total mutants and changed-line count agree with CI exactly; the distribution does not. CI moved three mutants: killed 79 → 76, timeout 2 → 4, survived 1 → 2. The extra survivor is exactly the row my disposition table recorded as Killed:

139 | EqualityOperator → missing.length >= 0 | Killed | Cline safeEnsureModelFetched keeps prompt and request tools on one snapshot when the fetch stalls past the bound and resolves late — Test timed out in 20000ms

That row is the tell: the only covered test my runner credited with killing it was itself reporting a 20-second vitest timeout. A mutant killed by a test that is only reaching its assertion because the runtime is already out of time is a weak witness, and CI’s runner — which is the runner the gate is defined on — got Survived. So the correct reading of last round’s table is that it overstated one cell, and I am correcting it here rather than defending it: at this head the gate prints 2 blocking findings, both at line 139, and my local run understated that by one.

4. What the two survivors have in common, and what would close them

Line 139 is return missing.length > 0 ? path.join(realPath, ...missing.reverse()) : realPath. Both mutants flip the same predicate along the equivalence argument I published: missing is built by path.relative(...).split(path.sep) and only ever grows, so missing.length is never negative, so missing.length >= 0 is true for every value the code can hold, and the ConditionalExpression → true mutant diverges only where missing.length === 0 would have taken the : realPath branch — which is the same divergence in the other direction. Under a runner that times out mid-mutant, an equivalent mutant and an untested mutant look identical; only the mechanism tells them apart, and the mechanism is in 6754862396 § line 139, unchanged.

If a maintainer would rather see this closed with a kill than with an equivalence call, the shape that would kill both is a direct unit test of the canonicalizer on a path where missing is empty and on a path where it is non-empty, asserting the returned spelling — one canonicalizePathUnderRoot-level row each way, no new fixture, ~15 lines, and it belongs in fileLock.spec.ts which already imports the module. I am not adding it unasked: the equivalence claim is on the record, an unsolicited mutation-suppression or a directive-shaped test would be the wrong instrument, and the leg is green so nothing here is blocking the merge.

5. What did not change

The 26 rows from the fb076148fdec report keep their individual dispositions, and the table’s own status here column counts out as 23 Killed / 1 Timeout / 1 Survived / 1 gone: the Timeout is line 52 ConditionalExpression → false (the ancestor walk’s only termination removed, so Stryker classifies it at its own hit limit 8701/8700 rather than reaching a test), the Survived is line 139 ConditionalExpression → true, and the gone row is line 263 ArrowFunction, which the head rewrote away. Only one cell was wrong — line 139 EqualityOperator → missing.length >= 0, Killed in my column and Survived on CI — so 22 of the 26 are killed in both runners, which is what the corrected table now says.
