Split unit U9 of #1833, under the plan on this issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is U6 (#1916) per the merge order.

Scope (one gate scope): the task-history delete path — it locks the same canonical key every other writer to the file uses, so an alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel.

Content source of record: kind: commit, base 7c291bb08 → head 6768ccfaf, replayed on the current main tip 9af61f87e so this branch carries nothing that main already has.

Budget (own delta, not the stacked view): 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines. Inside both caps.

Verification at this head: 14 passed; 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

    • File reads now report clipped lines separately from lines omitted by truncation.
    • File edits and writes check that files have not changed since they were read, helping prevent unintended overwrites. Partial reads and files that change during reading are handled conservatively.
    • File updates are published atomically while preserving existing file permissions.
    • JSON writes can be restricted to a specified directory.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Writes through symlink aliases now use consistent locking and update the resolved file.
    • Task history items remain available when file removal fails, and failed deletions are reported.
    • Rejected file edits no longer leave unintended changes in the editor buffer.

Walkthrough

The PR adds task-scoped file observations and guarded writes that compare observed versions before publication. File tools and diff saves use these guards. Reads track completeness. Text and JSON writes use resolved targets, and task-history deletion reports failed removals.

Changes

Observed file versions and guarded writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record file observations and read completeness
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, related tests
Tasks now track observed file versions and completeness. Stable reads record observations. Read results distinguish complete content from partial, clipped, truncated, or lossily decoded content.
Guard file-tool and diff-view publication
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditTool.ts, src/core/tools/SearchReplaceTool.ts, src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts, src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, related tests
Guarded writes serialize by resolved path, check file presence or observed versions, and enforce completeness rules. File tools pass create or edit guard kinds. Patch moves check source and destination observations.
Publish text and JSON through resolved targets
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, related tests
safeWriteText resolves targets, validates staging paths, preserves target modes, and commits staged content atomically. safeWriteJson supports optional path confinement and uses resolved targets for locks, merge reads, and publication.
Report task-history deletion failures
src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/index.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, related tests
Task-history deletion retains items when file removal fails and reports failed IDs. Batch deletion continues across IDs. ClineProvider removes artifacts for successfully deleted tasks and updates state.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~100 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 52396

The new guarded-write and task-deletion changes look sound overall. In one narrow case, an edit the user denied leaves the file marked as read, so a retried edit can be saved without the file actually being read. This is a bounded follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e787e

Version checks and canonical locking improve write safety, but atomic replacement can weaken existing Windows file permissions. Permissions are restored only after publication, and restoration failures are ignored. In directories accessible to other accounts, a previously restricted file could become readable or writable by those accounts.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: New atomic text publication does not preserve Windows access restrictions throughout the transition. The replacement file is renamed into place before the original DACL is restored. Failed DACL capture skips restoration, and failed restoration is swallowed. If staging inherits broader permissions than the original target, other local or shared-directory principals can gain read or write access during this window; interruption or restoration failure can leave that exposure persistent despite a successful return. The merge-base direct-save path wrote the existing file without replacing its security descriptor.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The permission-drift concern reaches existing Windows files published through the shared text primitive, including approved direct tool edits. Its independently attackable scope is the affected files accessible to another principal under the replacement DACL; no remote, cross-tenant, or privilege-escalation reachability was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — For a target whose explicit DACL is narrower than its directory's inherited permissions, replacement can expose content before restoration. A principal newly permitted by that DACL can read or modify the file without controlling the tool request. Failed restoration can leave the broader access in place; the tests explicitly expect publication to succeed despite capture or restoration failure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The owning task's observation registry supplies publication authority. The guard rejects absent edit authority, checks cancellation before publication, and compares versions under a canonical advisory lock. Its documented atomicity guarantee applies to writers participating in that lock protocol, not arbitrary external filesystem writers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Without a prior task observation, ApplyDiff can derive content from one read while the preview records a newer token. The guard can then accept earlier-derived content against that newer token. Existing observations prevent this substitution, and unobserved direct edits reject. The same inter-read overwrite exposure existed in the merge-base unguarded save flow, so it is a remaining limitation rather than an introduced concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make Windows permission preservation a pre-commit requirement: restrict staging before writing sensitive bytes, apply and verify the intended DACL before publication, and abort without replacing the original when that guarantee cannot be established.
  • proposed — Bind edit publication to the stat-matched read used to derive its content, rather than permitting a later preview read to supply that identity.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany changed its no-deletion behavior: it skips onWrite when every deletion fails (deletedAny remains false), then throws TaskHistoryDeleteError while keeping all items. The store-level tests cover one failed item with successful deletions and one lock failure with a successful deletion, but no test makes every item fail and asserts that no write-through occurs and all items remain. The provider test mocks deleteMany, so it does not cover this changed TaskHistoryStore branch.

Resolution

Add a focused TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany test with all requested IDs failing due to lock or unlink errors. Assert that every ID is listed in TaskHistoryDeleteError, every cache and mtime entry remains, the files remain, and onWrite is not called.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The changed canonical-lock path can lose merged persistence state. resolveLockKey() calls canonicalDirKey(), which falls back to the unresolved parent when fs.realpath(parent) returns ENOENT (safeWriteText.ts:192-195). For a symlinked ancestor with a not-yet-created descendant, an alias path and its referent therefore receive different lock keys. The checked Node filesystem behavior confirms realpath(alias/nested) returns ENOENT while the alias still resolves to the referent. safeWriteJson() then reads and merges under one of those different locks (safeWriteJson.ts:208-223) before atomically publishing the complete JSON (safeWriteJson.ts:225-247). Two concurrent merge writes through the alias and referent can both read the same old JSON and the last rename can discard the other update. This is a changed persistence path and a plausible lost-state scenario.

Resolution

Make canonicalDirKey() resolve the nearest existing ancestor, then append every missing path component and the file basename. Propagate non-ENOENT resolution errors instead of using the unresolved spelling. Use that canonical result for every lock acquisition, including safeWriteJson, guardedWrite, and task-history deletion. Add a regression test with a symlinked existing ancestor and a missing nested directory; perform concurrent merge writes through the alias and referent and assert that both updates remain.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

DiffViewProvider.revertChanges() still performs duplicate teardown after cancellation. The changed runTeardown() only serializes the callback passed to it (lines 993-1005). revertChanges() unconditionally runs restorePreviewTabs() and reset() after await this.runTeardown(...) (lines 852-907). If a cancellation calls revertChanges() while another revert or rejected-save cleanup is in flight, the second call waits for the first callback, then runs the post-teardown work again. The added regression test only checks one applyEdit() call and does not cover the duplicated restorePreviewTabs() and reset() calls.

Resolution

Make teardown ownership cover the complete revert cleanup, including restorePreviewTabs() and reset(), or return an ownership flag from runTeardown() and skip those steps for waiters. Add a concurrent-cancellation test that asserts preview restoration and reset/close work run once.

…ve (U1, issue 1375)

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

Focused coverage for resolveLockKey added: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.
…ishTarget (U1, issue 1375)

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

… type-sound

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

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

The any usage this entry covered is gone in the rewritten file, so the count drops 4 -> 3.
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 confirms it.
The read tools record the observed on-disk version through task.observationRegistry, but the field
was only declared in a later unit, so at this head the call dereferences undefined and the mocked
e2e run fails on the read_file smoke tests. The registry is introduced by this unit, so the field
belongs here.

tsc clean on this unit, 11 observationRegistry tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean.
The two any usages this entry covered are gone in the rewritten spec, so the count drops 98 -> 96.

easonLiangWorldedtech force-pushed the fws/u9-task-history-delete branch 2 times, most recently from 667d01d to 97f7a28 Compare October 5, 2026 15:35
The misc-lane regression was caused by the previous commit's refactor, not by the partial
batch handling itself: the artifact loop became a PRIVATE METHOD, and
ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts invokes ClineProvider.prototype.deleteTaskWithId against a
stub `this`. The method lookup returned undefined, the rollback threw, and the child task
directory was never removed (on Linux the swallowed error also changed the surfaced
outcome).

removeTaskArtifacts is now a module-level function taking (taskIds, globalStorageDir,
workspaceDir), so it needs nothing from the receiver. The partial-batch spec asserts real
directories instead of stubbing the helper: the successful id's directory is gone, the
failed id's survives, and the all-failed case removes nothing.

ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts passes again (23/23, two runs); the partial-batch spec
passes 3/3; eslint clean.

Root cause of the platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest) failure found and fixed in b1856e78f — it was not flaky.

The refactor in b3530d2 turned the artifact loop into a private method. ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts > keeps directory cleanup and parent restoration when the child history lock failure is swallowed calls ClineProvider.prototype.deleteTaskWithId against a stub this, so this.removeTaskArtifacts was undefined: the rollback threw, the child task directory was never removed, and on Linux the swallowed error also changed the surfaced outcome ("promise resolved instead of rejecting").

removeTaskArtifacts is now a module-level function (taskIds, globalStorageDir, workspaceDir) that needs nothing from the receiver, and the new spec asserts real task directories instead of stubbing the helper.

Local: ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts 23/23 (two runs — it failed before this commit), ClineProvider.partialTaskDelete.spec.ts 3/3, core/webview + core/task-persistence 778 passed with only the 3 pre-existing local blanket auto-deny getState cases failing. eslint clean.

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

deleteMany had already removed from the store kept their shadow checkpoint repositories and
task directories on disk, and the caller received the state error instead of the batch error
that describes what actually happened.

Cleanup now runs first and the post is best-effort (logged), so the batch error is what the
caller sees.

Test: with postStateToWebview rejecting, task-1's directory is still removed, task-2's (the
id deleteMany could not remove) survives, and the rejection is the TaskHistoryDeleteError
itself. Control: restoring the old order fails exactly that test with the state error
surfacing.

Also drops four unjustified "as unknown as void" double assertions in the apply_diff guarded
write spec - execute returns Promise<void>, so the casts added nothing.

Both findings addressed in 06f7b999f (inline replies above).

Local: partial-delete spec 4/4, apply_diff guarded-write spec 7/7, ClineProvider.delegation.spec.ts 23/23, tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean on all three touched files. Control for the ordering fix fails exactly the new test.

The unit carried Task.isPaused and the '|| this.isPaused' continuation condition over
from its content source, but upstream removed both in 9af61f8 (RSK-12, Zoo-Code-Org#1894) as dead
code. The branch contains that commit, so the unit was silently reverting an upstream
refactor: nothing in the repository sets Task.isPaused (the only other isPaused is the
unrelated MessageQueueService interface field), and the loop has no pause check for the
pushed empty item to reach, so the comment describing one was fiction.

Restoring upstream's shape removes the untestable branch instead of adding coverage for
a state no caller can set - the alternative the review offered.

Local: core/task + __tests__/new-task-delegation.spec.ts 698 passed across 45 files;
eslint clean on Task.ts; tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline (5 pre-existing
in Task.ts).

Pushed 5239634ae — Regression Evidence resolved with the review's own alternative: remove the unused branch rather than cover a state no caller can set.

What the check caught is stronger than a missing test. The unit carried Task.isPaused and if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0 || this.isPaused) over from its content source, but upstream deleted both as dead code in 9af61f87e ("refactor(task): remove dead Task.isPaused field (RSK-12)" #1894) — and this branch contains that commit, so the unit was silently reverting an upstream refactor.

Verification of the dead-code claim:

  • isPaused appears in src/ only at Task.ts:410 (declaration) and Task.ts:4698 (this condition); the only other hit is the unrelated MessageQueueService interface field. Nothing sets it.
  • The request loop has no pause check for the pushed empty item to reach, so the comment asserting one described code that does not exist.
  • Upstream's removal also dropped the matching assertions in Task.spec.ts and new-task-delegation.spec.ts; this PR never re-added them, so the only residue was in Task.ts.

Restoring upstream's shape drops the untestable branch: src/core/task/Task.ts is now 5 insertions / 0 deletions against 9af61f87e instead of 9/1, and the accidental revert is gone.

Local: core/task + __tests__/new-task-delegation.spec.ts 698 passed across 45 files; eslint clean on Task.ts; tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline (5 pre-existing in Task.ts).

✅ Action performed

Full review finished.

Five review findings plus one accidental upstream revert:

1. safeWriteJson: the confineTo check ran only under the lock, while its JSDoc promised
   it ran before. The lock file lives NEXT TO the lock key (the symlink referent), so a
   planted link pointing outside the declared scope first made this write create
   <referent>.lock outside that scope, and an unwritable directory there surfaced a
   lock-acquisition error instead of ConfinedPathEscapeError. The scope is now checked
   against the lock key before acquireFileLock, and the under-lock check stays because
   it covers the target re-resolved after a peer commits. The escape predicate is one
   helper (_escapesScope) shared by both sites.
2. safeWriteText: the failure cleanup deleted the backup whenever backupPath and
   releaseBackupOnSuccess held, with nothing distinguishing a pre-commit failure from a
   post-commit one. A Step 4b PostCommitDurabilityError therefore destroyed the only
   copy known to hold the previous content, contradicting the contract stated on the
   Step 4b thread. A committed flag now gates the deletion; the existing post-commit test
   asserted the old behaviour and is updated to assert the recovery copy survives.
3. safeWriteText: the DACL-restore failure after the commit went to console.warn, so a
   caller that passed onWarning never learned that access rights changed. It now goes
   through the same warn sink as the Step 2 DACL notices.
4. ApplyPatchTool: two comments claimed the hunk read was a complete observation when no
   prior observation existed, while the code records false - the intended invariant. The
   comments now say what the code does, so nobody 'fixes' line 113 back to true.
5. applyDiffTool.guardedWrite.spec: four unjustified 'as unknown as void' assertions
   removed.
6. Task: the unit re-added Task.isPaused and the '|| this.isPaused' continuation
   condition that upstream deleted as dead code in 9af61f8 (RSK-12, Zoo-Code-Org#1894); the branch
   contains that commit, so this was a silent revert. Nothing sets the field and the loop
   has no pause check for the pushed empty item to reach.

Tests: safeWriteJson now asserts the confinement verdict precedes any lock attempt by
wrapping proper-lockfile's lock in a capturing mock and re-importing the whole graph
(without vi.resetModules the already-loaded fileLock keeps the real lockfile and the
capture sees nothing). Verified as a pin: with safeWriteJson.ts stashed the assertion
fails on a non-empty lock call list. The backup test is likewise a pin: with
safeWriteText.ts stashed it fails on an unexpected backup unlink.

Local: utils + services/file-safety + core/tools + core/task + integrations lanes 2759
passed / 22 skipped across 143 files; eslint clean on all seven files; tsc unchanged from
the 50-error local baseline.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, staging/target identity comparisons must use `{ bigint: true }` filesystem stats for device and inode identifiers. NTFS/ReFS identifiers can exceed Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; number rounding can falsely reject a valid staging file or fail to detect staging/target aliasing.

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T09:38:39.308Z
Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

The patch helper's own read still grants full-file authority when the model never read the file.

When prior === undefined, this code records complete: true. A later write_to_file therefore passes the completeness gate in guardedWrite. It replaces content that the model never observed. ApplyDiffTool already records the same kind of read as partial (Line 92). That matches the retrieved learning: a tool read with no prior observation is partial. Record false when there is no prior observation. Then update the test at applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts Lines 327-344 and the move expectation at Lines 463-471.

…re-creating dirs

Four review findings:

1. safeWriteJson: the confineTo check ran before the lock but still AFTER
   fs.mkdir(dirPath, { recursive: true }). A planted symlinked ancestor
   (projectDir/.roo -> /elsewhere) therefore created directories outside the
   declared scope before the ConfinedPathEscapeError, and an unwritable referent
   surfaced the mkdir error instead of the verdict. The scope is now checked
   against the requested path before any filesystem side effect; the pre-lock and
   under-lock checks stay because they cover the lock key and the re-resolved
   target. _resolveScopeRoot already resolves a missing path through its nearest
   existing ancestor, so this works for missing parents too.
2. PostCommitDurabilityError now carries the retained backup path (nullable). The
   catch block deliberately keeps the backup after a post-commit durability
   failure, but the name is a hidden random string, so the caller was told a
   recovery copy exists with no way to find it - and each failure left an
   unrecoverable orphan. Retention behavior is unchanged.
3. DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly no longer calls createDirectoriesForFile before the
   guard. safeWriteText creates missing parents at publish time, so a rejected guard
   now leaves nothing behind - including directories outside the workspace. This
   replaces the earlier 'create then roll back' shape: not creating them is both
   smaller and leaves no window where the directories exist.
4. Comments in safeWriteJson still described the removed rename-based backup and
   rollback (three places), and the _resolveScopeRoot JSDoc had ended up attached to
   _escapesScope. Corrected and re-ordered.

Tests: confinement-before-mkdir (asserts the out-of-scope directory is never
created), backup path reported on the post-commit error and null when no backup was
taken, and no directory creation when the guard rejects. All three are pins: each
fails when its production file is stashed.

Local: utils + services/file-safety + core/tools + core/task + integrations lanes
2763 passed / 22 skipped across 143 files; eslint clean on all six touched files;
tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline.
guardedWrite contained every write against task.cwd, a single root, while the write
tools classify paths with isPathOutsideWorkspace over ALL VS Code workspace folders and
ask the user for approval only for paths outside every one of them. Two writes the tool
layer had already treated as legitimate were therefore rejected after the fact: a file
in a second workspace folder (never flagged, so never approved - just refused), and a
path outside every folder that the user had explicitly approved.

guardedWrite now takes an options object:
- additionalRoots: the other workspace folders, supplied by the extension-host caller so
  core stays host-agnostic. Containment is against any of them; a missing root is
  skipped, a root that cannot be resolved at all still fails closed.
- approvedOutsideWorkspace: set only by a tool's post-approval path. It means 'an
  approval decision was obtained for this path', not 'this path is outside', so every
  unapproved call keeps both containment checks. For an approved call the under-lock
  re-check becomes an identity check: the path that resolves at publish time must still
  be the path that was approved, so a symlink swapped in while the write waited on the
  FIFO chain cannot move the publish.

DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly and saveChanges forward both, taking the roots from
vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders. SearchReplaceTool, EditTool, EditFileTool,
WriteToFileTool and ApplyPatchTool pass the isOutsideWorkspace value they already
computed after approval; the patch move passes the destination's own classification,
since the user approved the patch that names it. ApplyDiffTool is left unchanged: it
never classifies or asks about outside-workspace targets, so there is no approval to
honor and its containment stays as it was.

Tests: five in guardedWrite.spec (approved publish, unapproved still rejected, identity
re-check after a swapped link, second-folder root accepted, unnamed second folder still
rejected) and two in DiffViewProvider.spec for the forwarding. Existing saveDirectly/
saveChanges arity assertions updated for the new argument.

Local: core/tools + integrations/editor + core/task + services/file-safety + utils
2320 passed / 10 skipped (120 files); tsc unchanged; eslint clean on all 14 touched
files. Pins verified: the new guardedWrite tests fail with the production file stashed,
and the forwarding test fails with DiffViewProvider.ts stashed.
…es + safeWrite fixes)

U9 carried an older U7 head and its own copies of two file-safety fixes, so the merge
conflicted in six files. Resolution keeps U7's versions of the shared code - U7 is the
unit those files are reviewed in - and preserves U9's unique work:
- safeWriteJson.ts: U7's _escapesScope predicate with the three checks (pre-mkdir,
  pre-lock on the lock key, under-lock on the re-resolved target) replaces U9's
  _assertWithinScope variant; no call site of the old helper remains.
- safeWriteText.ts: U7's committed-gate on the backup delete and the local warn sink.
- safeWriteText.spec.ts: U7's corrected post-commit assertions (the backup is retained,
  not unlinked) plus U9's 'a throwing onWarning does not abort the write'.
- DiffViewProvider: U7's guardedWrite options forwarding (approvedOutsideWorkspace +
  additionalRoots); U9's preview-observation and autosaved-match guards stay.

Local: core/tools + integrations/editor + core/task + services/file-safety + utils
2333 passed / 10 skipped (121 files); tsc unchanged at 50 pre-existing errors.
…next edit

open() records a stat-matched observation for a target the model never read so the
accept-time compare-and-swap has an entry to check. Only saveChanges(..., "edit")
revoked it. A user denial runs revertChanges() then reset(), and reset() cleared the
preOpenObservation snapshot but left the registry entry behind, so the retry's open()
found a non-null prior observation, saveChanges restored it, and guardedWrite accepted
an edit against a version the model never read. The same leftover entry authorized a
later saveDirectly(..., "edit").

open() now remembers the entry it wrote (path + token). reset() forgets it when the
preview ended with no prior observation and the entry still holds that token - so a
save that published (entry now carries the published token) and any other writer's
entry are left alone.

Test: preview an unread file, deny it (reset), retry, and assert the retry is rejected
with the read-first remediation and nothing is published (pin - fails with this change
stashed).

Local: DiffViewProvider.spec 137 passed; core/tools + integrations/editor + core/task +
services/file-safety + utils + core/webview 2898 passed / 10 skipped (151 files; the 3
blanket-auto-deny ClineProvider failures are pre-existing on this branch); tsc
unchanged; eslint clean on both files.

Pushed 174f3375d — two things landed:

  1. Chain re-synced with fws/u7-tool-wiring. This branch carried an older U7 head and its own copies of two file-safety fixes, so the merge conflicted in 6 files. Resolution keeps U7's versions of the shared code (the unit those files are reviewed in) and preserves this unit's unique work: _escapesScope with the pre-mkdir / pre-lock / under-lock checks, the !committed gate on the backup delete, U7's corrected post-commit assertions, plus U9's "a throwing onWarning does not abort the write" and the preview/autosave guards.
  2. The open review thread is fixed: a preview observation recorded by open() no longer survives a denied or rejected preview. open() records the entry it wrote; reset() forgets it when there was no prior observation and the entry still holds that token.
Verification Result
Merged lanes 2333 passed / 10 skipped (121 files)
After the fix (6 lanes) 2898 passed / 10 skipped (151 files)
DiffViewProvider.spec 137 passed
tsc unchanged (50 pre-existing)
eslint 0 on every touched file
Pin new test fails with DiffViewProvider.ts stashed

Known local-only failures: the 3 blanket auto-deny ClineProvider.spec.ts cases (pre-existing on this branch).

…ter does not own

Persistence Integrity: canonicalDirKey() canonicalized only the immediate parent and
fell back to that literal spelling on ENOENT. A writer whose parent directory already
existed canonicalized through a symlinked ancestor (or a Windows short name) while a
writer racing to create the same directory got the literal path, so the two took
different locks for one file and a read-modify-write lost one side. It now walks up to
the nearest ancestor that exists, canonicalizes that, and re-joins the missing
components; a realpath failure that is not ENOENT is propagated instead of being
papered over with a key that may be wrong.

Regression Evidence: deleteMany() with every requested id failing (one at the lock,
one at the unlink) - all ids are reported in TaskHistoryDeleteError, every cache and
mtime entry and both files remain, and no write-through happens for a batch that
changed nothing.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup: runTeardown() serialized the callback but revertChanges()
still ran restorePreviewTabs() and reset() afterwards for every caller, so a
cancellation that arrived while a rejected save was tearing down the same buffer
restored tabs twice and reset state the owner was still using. runTeardown() now
reports whether the caller owns the cleanup, and a waiter stops there.
…and no observation without a baseline

Port of the Zoo-Code-Org#1918 fix into this unit: this branch carries its own copy of guardedWrite
(the unit branches are not cumulative), and the same defects are in it.

assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace() skipped the canonical comparison whenever every
workspace root failed to resolve with ENOENT, falling back to the lexical decision - the
exact check a planted symlink defeats. A root that is not on disk cannot contain anything,
so any failure to canonicalize a root now refuses the write. realpathNearest() also
rejoined the lexical names of missing components, which cannot tell a directory that has
not been created yet from a symlink whose referent is gone; the walk now stats each
missing component and refuses a path that runs through a dangling link instead of
authorizing a publish outside the container it checked.

The bracketing-stat branches in apply_patch and apply_diff were also unproven here: the
tool-level tests for a rejected pre-read stat (both tools) and a rejected post-read stat
(apply_diff) are ported unchanged, so the read still runs and the publish still fails
closed while nothing is observed.

Identifiers, comments and test names are kept identical to fws/u7 so the merge resolves
trivially.
… the write

A defect reported on a sibling PR in the base repo: the backup destination is named before
the copy runs, while the rollback cleanup keys off a flag that only becomes true once the
copy succeeded - so a copyFile that fails after creating the destination leaves a
half-written .bak beside the target forever.

This branch does not have that shape. The whole backup creation (seed open with "wx",
copyFile, chmod, fsync) is wrapped in a catch that unlinks the destination and clears
backupPath before rethrowing, so the cleanup keys off the attempt rather than off the
success. What was missing is coverage for the exact case the report describes: copyFile
failing with the destination already created. Only the fsync-failure variant was tested.

No production change. Negative control: deleting the cleanup unlink inside that catch fails
exactly two tests - this one and the existing "a failed backup flush is reported and leaves
no partial backup behind" - and restoring it leaves the file byte-identical.

Security Boundaries row: the unpinned guardedWrite.ts in this diff is a copy that the merge order replaces

This PR's diff contains 7caa64fb3 for src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts - this unit's own copy, which carries no publish pin. Its guarded publishes are guardedWrite.ts:195 and :276, each calling safeWriteText with the caller-visible path only.

The pin is not this unit's content. It ships in U5 (#1914), whose guardedWrite.ts (blob 2f876e115) is the only copy in the chain that resolves and authorizes the publish target and hands the result to the publish primitive:

  • verifyTarget?: () => Promise<AuthorizedTarget> — guardedWrite.ts:158, :243
  • expectedResolvedPath / expectedAncestorIdentities passed to safeWriteText — guardedWrite.ts:182-183, :279-280
  • the authorize-and-pin helper, its type and the pin variable — guardedWrite.ts:362-370, :421, :531-532
  • tests: guardedWrite.spec.ts:349 (authorizes a create under an aliased ancestor and pins the publish's own spelling), :439 (pins the identity of every existing directory between the workspace root and the target), :465 (refuses the publish when an authorized parent directory is swapped after the containment check), :289/:323 (escape and dangling-link refusals).

Evidence that this branch never had the pin: git log -S expectedResolvedPath -- src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts returns no commit in this branch. U9's own pin work is in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts and src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts (see note 3 on #41).

Declared merge order U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9 merges #1914 before this PR, and merge note 4 on #41 (easonLiangWorldedtech#41 (comment)) records the rule: resolve src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts to U5's pinned version, then re-apply this unit's own call-site changes on top. After that resolution this unit's guarded-publish call sites are covered by the pin and its ancestor re-validation.

We are not porting U5's file into this branch: that would put another unit's content into this diff, which is the shape the Out-of-Scope check penalises. The visible cost is that this pre-merge row stays red until #1914 lands - stated in note 4 so it is not mistaken for an unfixed defect.
