Related work and stack

Part of #1948. Extracted from #1999 as an independently mergeable prerequisite. This PR does not close the feature issue.

The branch contains one squashed commit combining the workspace-root prerequisite, permission-matching fixes, and review follow-ups. Merge this PR before #1999, then rebase #1999 onto main so its diff contains only reader safety and cancellation changes.

Behavior

Read allowlists recognize the lexical and verified canonical spellings of the task-local workspace root. Each ordered rule is evaluated against both spellings before the next rule runs, preserving absolute wildcard exclusions and later re-inclusions. Workspace names containing brackets, stars, question marks, or POSIX backslashes stay literal instead of widening a permission to neighboring directories.

Windows candidates, patterns, and roots use the same conversion. Explicit UNC paths remain distinct from drives and rooted paths without a known volume. Rooted paths in a UNC workspace resolve against that network share, and lexical parents cannot climb above the drive/share root into another matcher namespace.

Only the workspace root is resolved through realpath; individual file aliases are never resolved by the approval matcher. Unknown or unresolvable roots retain lexical matching, with resolution failures logged. Read and write allowlists retain independent exclusions, canonical workspace-root equivalence is read-only, and protected-file policy is preserved.

No reader implementation, settings, lifecycle, dependencies, changesets, or changelogs are changed.

Windows drive-relative hardening (intentional behavior change)

In addition to symlinked workspace-root support, this PR intentionally fails closed for drive-relative Windows candidates and patterns, including bare drive designators. A drive-relative path depends on per-drive process state that the task-local matcher cannot safely infer. Workspace-relative candidates and rules are also rejected when the workspace root is drive-relative, even if resolving that root succeeds.

This applies to both read and write allowlists. Explicit absolute grants remain usable with an ambiguous workspace root, and their ordered exclusions remain effective. The base implementation could instead treat these inputs as a drive root or ordinary workspace-relative names; in particular, a relative grant could approve an absolute file outside the actual workspace. This pre-existing permission-matching issue was found while validating Windows root normalization. The hardening stays with the shared matcher changes rather than restoring that unsafe interpretation or introducing a separate reader feature.

Verification

  • 316 auto-approval tests in 19 suites and 78 ReadFileTool tests passed. Coverage includes literal workspace names, wildcard exclusions across both roots, ordered re-inclusion, UNC/rooted-path isolation, volume boundaries, and a real filesystem symlink/junction integration test.
  • Ten selected regression cases fail against the original PR implementation and pass with the fix.
  • The two literal UNC-share regression cases fail when volume-prefix escaping is removed and pass with the production implementation.
  • Full monorepo tests passed: 13/13 Turbo tasks; the extension suite passed 10,662 tests. The full suite also passed in the normal pre-push hook.
  • Scoped ESLint pruning and full monorepo lint/type checks passed (11/11 tasks each). Suppression entries and counts are unchanged. Normal commit/push hooks remained enabled.
  • Validation used Node 22.23.1 and pnpm 10.8.1 in the PR worktree. Windows behavior was checked through the Windows-default matcher harness; native Windows CI must validate the pushed commit.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved file access approval across local and canonical workspace paths, including symbolic links and directory junctions.
    • Tightened workspace-relative approvals so they don’t apply outside the workspace when the root is missing or can’t be resolved.
    • Improved path matching for Windows drives, network shares, case differences, and exclusion rules.

The change adds POSIX and Windows workspace-root strategies, canonical and lexical path matching, and realpath-based root resolution for read auto-approval. It expands Windows drive and UNC path handling, evaluates ordered allowlist rules across equivalent roots, and adds matcher and approval tests.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

PASS. The changed auto-approval behavior has focused coverage at unit, matcher, approval, and filesystem-integration layers. Tests cover root normalization and prefix boundaries, POSIX and Windows path strategies, UNC and drive namespaces, drive-relative rejection, missing and invalid roots, realpath failures with logging, ordered exclusions, batch approvals, protected files, and symlinked workspace roots. No visible UI changed, so no Playwright snapshot is required.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No concrete security-boundary failure is introduced. WorkspaceRootCanonicalizer translates only exact workspace-root prefixes or descendants. filePatterns.ts rejects drive-relative paths, rejects workspace-relative matching without a usable root, and clamps parent resolution at drive or UNC volumes. index.ts resolves only the task workspace root for read matching; write matching does not receive canonical-root equivalence. The changed code preserves ordered allowlist exclusions and does not execute unvalidated input.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path exists. The production diff changes auto-approval matching and reads the workspace root with awaited realpath; it performs no state or configuration writes. The asynchronous checkAutoApproval path is awaited by its changed read branch and existing callers. Therefore no unawaited write, non-atomic write, rollback gap, or unpropagated persisted default is introduced.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The changed path has no lifecycle resource leak. resolveCanonicalWorkspaceRoot awaits one realpath(cwd) call and retains no listener, watcher, provider, timer, or task. checkAutoApproval awaits the read check, and its callers await the result; Task checks abort state after the await before posting an ask. The other changed code performs synchronous path matching only.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description links related issue #1948, explains the implementation and behavior changes, and provides detailed verification results. It does not reproduce the template headings or checklist, but the required substantive information is present.

Recognize lexical and verified canonical workspace-root spellings without resolving individual file aliases. Preserve ordered grants, exclusions, literal root names, and lexical-parent rules across POSIX, Windows drives, and UNC shares.

Reject ambiguous Windows drive-relative inputs without widening read or write permissions. Centralize platform selection in WorkspaceRootStrategy.forPlatform and cover literal UNC share names with regression tests.

When there's no workspace volume this maps a rooted drive-less pattern into /ROOT/... (or /UNC/... for a UNC cwd). Does that mean !/**/.env no longer reaches C:/x/.env? With ["C:/**","!/**/.env"] and cwd //server/share/ws, /ws or undefined, base returned false for that file and head returns true. Should a drive-less rooted exclusion apply across namespaces?

Following up on the forPlatform thread on WorkspaceRootCanonicalizer.ts: if the factory goes, are the strategy classes still needed? The only differences are root spelling and case-folding, and two helpers in filePatterns.ts taking isWindows might cover that with less surface.
