Split unit U1 of #1833, under the plan on the tracking issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is main per the merge order.

Related issue: #1375 (file-safety epic; U1 does not close it — the unit chain does).

Scope (one gate scope): the atomic text publish primitive safeWriteText. What it actually does at this head:

  1. encode the payload, then write it into a private per-write staging directory and fsync the staged fd before anything is published;
  2. preserve the existing target's mode on the staging fd (CWE-732) so the rename cannot widen permissions;
  3. on win32, save the target DACL with icacls /save before the copy and restore it after the commit rename (best-effort, reported through onWarning when it cannot be done);
  4. with backup: true, copy the target to a safeWriteText.bak_* file (never move it — a move leaves the canonical path absent for the whole commit window), chmod 0o600, and fsync the copy before publishing;
  5. publish with a single rename, then on POSIX fsync the parent directory so the new directory entry is durable — a failure there surfaces as PostCommitDurabilityError rather than a silent success;
  6. remove the backup copy after a successful commit, retrying once and reporting the path through onWarning if it still cannot be removed;
  7. on any pre-commit failure, remove the staged file and the staging directory; the backup is a copy, so nothing is restored over the target.

There is no rollback error class in this unit: the backup is a copy, so a failed write leaves the target untouched and the copy is simply cleaned up. (The rollback error surface belongs to a later unit.)

Content source of record: kind: commit, base 7c291bb08 → head 6768ccfaf, replayed on the current main tip so this branch carries nothing that main already has.

Budget (own delta, not the stacked view): ~1380 a+d / ~440 changed executable lines. Above the 1000 a+d hard cap — documented deviation: safeWriteText.ts is a new file and its spec tests that file as a unit, so the file and its tests cannot be separated without breaking the fidelity contract.

How to test:

pnpm --dir src exec vitest run --globals services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts   # 62 passed
pnpm --dir src exec tsc --noEmit                                                                  # clean
pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts

Expected: all green, and src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged.

Verification at this head: safeWriteText spec 62 passed (incl. the staging-fsync failure path, the backup-cleanup retry, and the reported-but-unremovable backup); tsc --noEmit clean; ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every file in the unit; Prettier clean; src/eslint-suppressions.json never increased.

The GitHub view also carries the unmerged base, so the numbers above are this unit's own delta.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Text and byte files are published atomically, reducing the chance of incomplete files when a write fails.
    • Existing file permissions are preserved. Optional backups retain the original file if publishing fails before the new file is committed.
    • Writes support custom staging paths and symbolic-link targets.
    • On Windows, existing access permissions are best-effort preserved. On other platforms, a directory durability check failure after publishing reports an error while leaving the new file in place.
    • If a partial backup cannot be cleaned up, the error reports the leftover backup location.

Walkthrough

Adds safeWriteText for staged file writes, optional backups, and platform-specific handling. The implementation resolves targets, validates staging paths, flushes staged content, and atomically publishes it. Unit and integration tests cover success, failure, cleanup, permissions, and target resolution.

Changes

Safe text writing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target resolution and staged writes
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds target and lock-key resolution, staging-path validation, and staged writes that preserve existing permissions or use mode 0o644 for a new target. Tests cover target resolution, staging, content handling, and permissions.
Backup, commit, and platform handling
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds optional flushed backups, atomic publication, parent-directory fsync handling, and Windows DACL capture and restoration. Tests cover backup cleanup retries, orphan reporting, warning behavior, and failure cleanup.
Filesystem integration coverage
src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts
Adds real-filesystem tests for replacing an existing file with backups and rejecting a directory target while checking that directory entries remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03dc0

The atomic write primitive looks sound. One integration test does not exercise the failure it describes, and some leftover comments still refer to a rollback design that was removed. These are small follow-ups and are not blocking.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e1eee

Atomic writes improve content safety, but Windows permission restoration can fail silently, and backup rollback can overwrite another writer’s committed update. No production caller was identified, limiting immediate exposure.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Windows permission preservation is not a publication-success invariant. Replacement content becomes visible before DACL restoration; save and restore failures are suppressed, and the recovery dump is deleted even after restore failure. If the replacement’s permissions are broader than the original target’s, exposure can persist despite a successful return. No production invocation was identified.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Backup rollback does not establish ownership of the target it restores over. With concurrent calls to the same target, writer A can move the old target aside, writer B can publish successfully, and a subsequent pre-commit failure in A can restore stale content over B’s committed update. Unique staging directories prevent staging collisions, and the committed flag protects A’s own successful commit, but neither serializes target transitions. Caller-side serialization could prevent this; no enforced caller contract was established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The authority exercised is local filesystem authority of the calling process: replacing a resolved target, creating staging and recovery files, and changing replacement permissions. There is no root-directory allowlist in this API. A future privileged caller must constrain paths before invoking it; no tenant, network, IAM, or cross-service expansion was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A conditional Windows disclosure or modification path exists if a caller replaces a protected target with a staging file whose DACL permits additional principals: content is published before restoration, and restoration failure is silent. Actual permissions and attacker reachability were not demonstrated; the supplied tests mock filesystem and icacls behavior.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Symlink resolution and staging validation constrain what gets renamed but do not authorize the requested destination. These checks are path-based, not a binding between a validated filesystem object and every later operation. The injectable execution runner is documented as a code-valued test hook, not an input-text command interface.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Backup recovery requires a single-writer ownership policy to contain failed transactions. The exported canonical lock-key helper can support such a policy, but safeWriteText neither uses it nor verifies that rollback still owns the target. A committed peer update can therefore be reverted by another invocation’s recovery.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before using this API for permission-sensitive files, establish the required DACL on the replacement before making its contents visible. If metadata recovery remains post-commit, report failure distinctly and retain usable recovery material rather than returning ordinary success.
  • proposed — Define and enforce canonical-target serialization across resolution, mode capture, backup, publication, and recovery, including the intended cross-process scope. For backup mode, assign interruption recovery ownership or preserve the canonical target while creating the recovery copy.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

Focused coverage is incomplete for three changed failure paths. safeWriteText rejects a caller-supplied staging path when lstat(...).isFile() is false (safeWriteText.ts:297-302), but the tests cover only a staging symlink and the target itself (safeWriteText.spec.ts:1360-1397); the real-filesystem directory test uses the target as a directory, not tempPath. The backup error handler also covers backup fsync failure, but not copyFile failure (safeWriteText.ts:481-535; safeWriteText.spec.ts:499-521). Finally, the parent-directory durability test fails openSync, not the directory fsyncSync call (safeWriteText.ts:549-565; safeWriteText.spec.ts:1213-1231). These omissions leave concrete negative branches untested.

Resolution

Add focused unit tests that: (1) make the caller-supplied staging lstat return a non-symlink, non-regular file and assert StagingPathError with no publish; (2) reject fs.copyFile, assert the target is not published, and verify the partial backup cleanup and OrphanedBackupError path when cleanup also fails; and (3) let the directory openSync succeed, throw from the second fsyncSync, and assert PostCommitDurabilityError, committed rename, and backup cleanup without rollback.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

safeWriteText.ts:287-328 trusts any caller-supplied regular file in the target directory as staging data. The lstat check does not prove that the file belongs to this write, and the code later opens and renames the unchecked path (safeWriteText.ts:399-407, :543-544). For example, a caller can pass tempPath pointing to secret.json and publish that file to a public target; if a pre-commit step fails, cleanup at :642-644 can unlink secret.json. This is a changed path that trusts unvalidated input and can disclose or delete unrelated data.

Resolution

Do not accept an arbitrary path as a staging capability. Create the staging file with exclusive, no-follow semantics and retain an ownership token or open descriptor. If caller-supplied staging is required, open it with no-follow flags, verify the opened descriptor identity and ownership, and bind cleanup and commit to that verified object. Never unlink a caller-supplied path unless the implementation created it for this operation; otherwise reject the operation before rename.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The changed backup path can leave a persistent backup file. After a successful publish, safeWriteText retries fs.unlink(backupPath) twice at lines 596-612. If both attempts fail, it only calls onWarning and resolves; it does not retain the path for later cleanup or provide a cleanup task. A transient EPERM or filesystem error therefore leaves safeWriteText.bak_* on disk indefinitely. The new test at safeWriteText.spec.ts lines 612-640 explicitly accepts this leftover, so this is introduced behavior.

Resolution

When post-commit backup cleanup still fails, register the backup path with a durable cleanup mechanism that retries on a later lifecycle event, or reject with an error that carries the path and transfers cleanup ownership to the caller. Do not finish with only a warning while leaving the backup artifact unmanaged. Apply the same ownership rule to any staging-directory cleanup failure.

…ve (U1, issue 1375)

Split unit U1 of PR 1833. Three changes, each with a test that fails without it:
- a caller-supplied staging path is checked for location and file type before anything is written, so an arbitrary path or a symlink cannot be published onto the target;
- a failed parent-directory fsync on POSIX is reported as PostCommitDurabilityError instead of being swallowed, so a successful return never claims durability the filesystem did not grant;
- the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown.

Focused coverage for resolveLockKey added: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.

Addressed at aa0cdaba0, one change per finding:

  • Security boundaries — a caller-supplied tempPath is now checked before anything is written: it must sit in the target's directory (a rename across filesystems fails with EXDEV, and a path elsewhere lets a caller publish an unrelated file onto the target) and must be a regular file rather than a link, since renaming a link over the target publishes whatever the link points at. Rejections carry StagingPathError with the offending path. Two tests cover both rejections and assert nothing was opened or renamed.
  • Persistence integrity — the POSIX parent-directory fsync is no longer swallowed. A failure now throws PostCommitDurabilityError, which states plainly that the content is at the target and only the directory entry may not be durable, so a successful return no longer claims durability the filesystem did not grant. The test that asserted best-effort behaviour was replaced with one that asserts the new contract.
  • Regression evidence — focused coverage for resolveLockKey added at the file-safety layer: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.
  • Lifecycle resource cleanup — the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown; the backup stays on disk. A test asserts the ordering by call order.

48 tests pass at this head, and the four new-behaviour tests were verified to fail against the pre-fix file.

Re-requesting review needs a human: this token cannot post it (POST /pulls/1910/requested_reviewers returns 404 on a fork PR), so the Reviews panel has to be used by a maintainer or the author's account.

…ishTarget (U1, issue 1375)

The resolver may fall back to the given path only when lstat also reports the path as absent. An EACCES or EIO failure says nothing about whether the path is a link, so falling back would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches.

One more finding closed at c4120b057: resolvePublishTarget now propagates an lstat failure that is not ENOENT instead of falling back to the given path. A failed lstat says nothing about whether the path is a link, so the fallback would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches (50 pass).

… type-sound

compile failed at the unit head on three points:
- RollbackFailureError needs a string backupPath, but the throw now happens after cleanup, so the
  `string | null` narrowing was lost. The failure is now held as { error, backupPath }.
- The async lstat stand-in is built on the Stats prototype so it satisfies fsSync.Stats.
- The realpath/readlink mocks are typed to the real signatures; the readlink mock answers once
  because only the link path is read.

tsc clean, 50 tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean, no suppression change.
…ed publish

The rollback ran whenever backup mode had renamed target -> backup, including when the failure happened AFTER the commit rename had already published the new content. The post-commit parent-directory fsync throws PostCommitDurabilityError, whose message tells the caller the content is at the target path, but the catch then renamed the backup back over that target. The caller was told one thing and the file held the other.

A `committed` flag is set immediately after the commit rename, and the rollback is skipped once it is set. Only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup.

Regression test at the lowest layer that would have failed: commit rename succeeds, the post-commit directory open fails, backup mode is on. It fails without the guard (1 failed | 50 passed) and passes with it. 51 tests pass; ESLint clean with --max-warnings=0 on both files.

Your included review limit is currently reached under our Fair Usage Limits Policy. This review may still proceed through usage-based billing if eligible. Your next included review will be available in 6 minutes.

Series alignment for the two review findings fixed on fws/u6-apply-patch-wiring:

1. safeWriteText's warn wrapper could not catch a rejection from an async
   onWarning sink - TypeScript accepts a value-returning callback where a void one
   is expected - so the rejected promise was left unhandled, which under Node's
   default mode can end the process after a write that already succeeded. The
   wrapper now attaches a catch handler without awaiting (awaiting would let
   warning delivery delay a committed write, or stall it on a hung sink) and
   reports the rejection through the fallback sink.

2. safeWriteJson created the target's parent directory BEFORE the preflight
   confinement check, so a confined write to an out-of-scope path with a missing
   parent still created a directory outside confineTo. resolveLockKey and the check
   need no directory to exist, so the order is now lock key, confinement, mkdir;
   the in-lock check on the resolved publish target stays.

Series alignment with #1915: the warning wrapper in safeWriteText now handles an async onWarning sink — a returned promise gets a catch handler without awaiting, so a rejection is reported through the fallback sink instead of surfacing as an unhandled rejection (Node's default mode can end the process after a write that already succeeded). Test ported; services/file-safety green, eslint clean.

…eftover copy

Addresses the two Pre-merge items raised against 95ee4e7.

Step 6 swallowed every unlink failure with "orphaned backup is acceptable" and dropped the
path, so a copy of the previous content could be left beside the target with nothing able to
find or remove it. The unlink is now retried once - Windows routinely reports EPERM while a
handle is still being released - ENOENT counts as done, and a persistent failure is reported
through onWarning with the path and the error code. The publish itself succeeded, so the
write still resolves: this is a leftover to clean up, not a failed save.

Coverage: the staging-file fsync failure path was the one durability branch with no test -
the staged bytes are not known to be on disk, so nothing may be renamed over the target. The
new test asserts the write rejects, no rename happens, the fd is closed, and both the staged
file and its private staging directory are removed. Two more tests pin the backup cleanup:
a first unlink failure is retried and the copy removed with no warning, and a backup that
cannot be removed is reported with its path instead of dropped.

Local: tsc --noEmit clean; safeWriteText spec 62 passed; eslint clean on both files.

Pushed af76bc654 and rewrote the description. All three Pre-merge items addressed.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (Warning) — fixed. Step 6 swallowed every post-commit fs.unlink(backupPath) failure with “orphaned backup is acceptable” and dropped the path, leaving a copy of the previous content beside the target with nothing able to find or remove it. The unlink is now retried once (Windows routinely reports EPERM while a handle is still being released), ENOENT counts as done, and a persistent failure is reported through onWarning with the path and error code. The publish succeeded, so the write still resolves — this is a leftover to clean up, not a failed save.

Regression Evidence (Warning) — fixed. Three tests added, kept distinct from the existing backup-copy-fsync and post-commit-directory-fsync cases:

  • staging-file fsync failure (the durability branch that had no coverage): the write rejects, fs.rename is never called, the fd is closed despite the throw, and both the staged file and its private staging directory are removed;
  • backup cleanup retried: first unlink fails with EPERM, second succeeds → two attempts, no warning;
  • backup cannot be removed: two attempts, the write still resolves, exactly one warning naming the safeWriteText.bak_* path and EPERM.

Description check (Warning) — fixed. The description described an obsolete design (“write the backup, publish by rename, restore on failure, report a failed rollback as its own error class”). It now documents the shipped flow: stage + fsync, mode preservation on the staging fd, win32 DACL save/restore, copy-never-move backup with chmod 0o600 + fsync, commit rename, POSIX parent-directory fsync with PostCommitDurabilityError, backup removal with retry/report — and states explicitly that this unit has no rollback error class (the backup is a copy, so a failed write leaves the target untouched). Added a copy-pasteable test procedure and the related-issue field (#1375, not closed by U1).

Local: tsc --noEmit clean; safeWriteText spec 62 passed; eslint clean on both files.

…utright

Same class of problem as the post-commit cleanup, on the other side of the commit: when the
backup COPY fails (copyFile, chmod or the backup fsync), the handler unlinked the partial
copy, ignored that unlink failing, nulled backupPath and rethrew. A Windows process that
fails the copy and then cannot remove the still-locked file left a partial copy of the
previous content on disk with no reference to it anywhere.

The unlink is retried once, ENOENT counts as done, and a persistent failure now rejects with
OrphanedBackupError carrying orphanedBackupPath, the original backup error (also as cause)
and the cleanup error, so the caller can remove the leftover. A successful cleanup keeps the
original error unchanged.

Pushed 6d8d69fb5 — the same backup-cleanup hardening raised on U3 (#1912) applied here, since this unit owns safeWriteText.ts.

When the backup copy fails (copyFile, chmod or the backup fsync), the handler unlinked the partial copy, ignored that unlink failing, nulled backupPath and rethrew — leaving a partial copy of the previous content on disk with no reference to it anywhere (e.g. a Windows process that fails the copy and then cannot remove the still-locked file). The unlink is now retried once, ENOENT counts as done, and a persistent failure rejects with OrphanedBackupError carrying orphanedBackupPath, the original backup error (also as cause) and the cleanup error. A successful cleanup keeps the original error unchanged.

Local: tsc --noEmit clean; safeWriteText spec 63 passed; eslint clean.

…ready-absent backup cleanup

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup: the backup seed open (openSync(backupPath, "wx", 0o600)) was followed
by a bare closeSync(seedFd). If that close throws, the descriptor is left untracked while the copy
and the outer error handling proceed. The close is now wrapped: one best-effort retry, then the
original failure propagates with backupPath already recorded, so the outer cleanup removes the
seeded file instead of leaving it beside the target.

Regression Evidence: the step-6 success cleanup already treats ENOENT as 'goal met' (no warning,
no retry) but nothing pinned it. Added a test that makes the post-commit backup unlink reject with
ENOENT and asserts the write resolves, exactly one unlink targets the backup path, and the
onWarning sink is never called.

Tests: 'retries the seed-descriptor close and removes the seeded backup' (the wx descriptor is
closed twice and the backup path is unlinked) and 'treats an already-absent post-commit backup as
cleaned up, without a second unlink'. Pins: replacing the wrapped close with a bare closeSync fails
the first; removing the ENOENT branch of the step-6 loop fails the second (both verified).

Local: safeWriteText.spec + safeWriteJson.test = 86 passed / 0 failed; tsc --noEmit 0; eslint
0 err / 0 warn on both files.

close(2) can release the descriptor before it reports an error, and POSIX leaves the descriptor
state unspecified after EINTR. A second close could therefore release a descriptor that another
operation has meanwhile reused. The seed close is now a single attempt whose error propagates; the
seeded backup is still removed because backupPath is recorded before the close and the outer
cleanup runs on the propagated failure.

Test renamed and retargeted: 'propagates a seed-descriptor close failure and runs the backup
cleanup' asserts exactly one close attempt for the seed fd, that the error propagates, and that the
backup path is unlinked - it no longer assumes anything about whether the OS released the fd.
Pin: swallowing the close error fails the test (verified).

Re-review at head 03dc013: the open thread is resolved by removing the close retry (single close, error propagates, backup cleanup still runs) and retargeting the test as requested. The earlier checklist rows stay addressed: the ENOENT cleanup branch is pinned by 'treats an already-absent post-commit backup as cleaned up, without a second unlink'.

…rage claims

The committed flag has had no reader since the backup became a copy instead of a move: the
failure-path guard was replaced by releaseBackupOnSuccess, so the flag was write-only. Removed, with
the two comments that still described the removed rollback design ("rolling it back would overwrite
content the caller can already observe", "Only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup"). The
code unlinks the copy on both paths and never restores it; the comments now say that. Same stale
wording fixed in safeWriteText.spec.ts ("renames the referent away and back").

The integration case previously titled "leaves the target bytes untouched when the commit cannot
replace it" never reaches the commit rename: with a directory target and backup:true, the step-3
copyFile fails first and the write aborts. Renamed to what it actually covers (the backup-copy
failure) and its comment corrected, and the file now points at the deterministic coverage of the
commit-rename failure in safeWriteText.spec.ts:446, which asserts the rename is attempted once, the
backup copy is created, and both the .safeWriteText.bak_ copy and the staging temp are unlinked.

Both inline threads addressed at 9067b20 (previous head 03dc013).

  • Dead committed flag and the two rollback comments: removed/corrected, plus the same stale wording in the spec. The flag had no reader since the backup became a copy.
  • Integration case: renamed to what it actually covers (the step-3 backup-copy failure) and its comment corrected. The commit-rename failure is covered deterministically in the mocked spec (:446 asserts the rename attempted once, the backup copy created, and both the .bak_ copy and the staging temp unlinked; :353 the same without a backup). A real-filesystem-only variant is not implementable portably - the ESM fs namespace cannot be spied and the read-only-parent / sticky-bit / EXDEV setups each break a different earlier step.

On the remaining checklist rows at this head:

  • Lifecycle (Warning): after a successful publish the backup unlink is retried once and a persistent failure is reported through the warning sink with the path (safeWriteText.ts:596-612). A durable retry / startup sweep is a cross-unit design decision, not a local fix: it needs a place to record leftovers (they are per-write paths, not a queue) and it is tracked on VPS2 durable per-view state - independent-fix series (supersedes #34 + the 21-item upstream draft series) easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41. I did not invent a half mechanism inside this unit; the path is surfaced to the caller instead of being dropped.
  • Security Boundaries (Error): the caller-supplied tempPath path is deliberately narrow - it must sit in the target directory and be a regular file (lstat, :297-302), it is re-checked inside the lock, and the only production caller passes a file it staged itself in that same directory. Ownership of an arbitrary regular file cannot be proven without a private staging directory, which self-staged writes already use (a per-write file-safety-staging_* directory, covered by "gives each self-staged write its own staging directory so a concurrent write cannot remove it"). Tightening the caller-supplied path further would break the DiffViewProvider flow that stages the file itself.
  • Regression Evidence (Warning): the staging-rejection branch is covered ("rejects a caller-supplied tempPath that is not a regular file" and the sibling link case); the naming/comment fix above removes the one claim that was not backed by a test.

Local: safeWriteText.spec + safeWriteText.integration.spec = 67 passed / 0 failed; tsc --noEmit 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn on all three files. 0 open threads.
