fix(rollback): flag every listed manifest, and lock the directory it lives in

[kridaydave]

Problem

Two gaps in RollbackService that were theoretical while only the newest
manifest was reachable by id, and are real now that
[the pass manifest ticket](https://github.com/kridaydave/File-Organizer-MCP/issues/96)
puts a manifest id on every history row a moving pass writes.

listManifests verified nothing. It parsed every .json in the rollback
directory and returned the result, while getManifest checked the version,
content hash and HMAC. Once ids are listed to a user, a manifest file nobody
signed is a value they can paste back into undo_last_operation.

RollbackService took no lock at all. It read a manifest, acted on every
path in it, and unlinked the file, with nothing holding another process off. Two
undoes racing the same manifest both passed the read and both unlinked, so one
batch of moves was spent twice. HistoryLoggerService serializes every
operations.jsonl writer through operations.lock, and that was the only lock
in the server.

Kriday decided the policy on the list: flag, do not filter. An unverified
manifest stays in the list with signatureValid: false. Hiding it would destroy the
only trace that something appeared in the rollback directory, and an agent
cannot warn a user about a manifest it cannot see.

What changed

listManifests returns ListedManifest, a RollbackManifest plus the verdict
from verifyManifest. Every file is still listed. getManifest is still the
only thing that may hand paths to a caller, and it still re-verifies; the flag
is for callers that need to know before they ask.

The flag is latent for agents today. Both listManifests callers in
src/tools/ read only .id, so no tool surfaces signatureValid to a caller
yet, and the CHANGELOG entry should not be read as a user-visible change until
one does.

findNewerConflicts reads the flag rather than re-verifying each candidate, and
still treats an unverified candidate as a conflict. Ignoring it would let a
forged manifest hide a real overlap, and the cost of not ignoring it is a
refused undo rather than a damaged one.

ManifestLockService (src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts) holds a
manifests.lock in the rollback directory for the whole read-check-apply-delete
cycle. The token-and-staleness protocol is copied from HistoryLoggerService,
with the token passed between acquire and release rather than held on the
instance, so the service can describe more than one holder. The lock is its own
file, not a share of operations.lock: that serializes a different resource and
the two files would contend. It is named manifests.lock so listManifests,
which reads .json only, does not pick it up.

manifest_id was a bare z.string() in both tools that take it, so a typo
travelled to the filesystem and came back as "manifest not found". It is now a
UUID check in the Zod schema and in each tool's hand-written JSON schema, since
the two are separate sources of truth and only one of them is what a client
reads off the wire.

Proof

Driven through node $C call in the verify sandbox, real server over stdio:

• organize 3 files, then undo_last_operation with the returned id:
  {"success": 3, "failed": 0}
• corrupt the signature of that manifest on disk, then undo it again:
  Validation Error: Manifest integrity check failed: Manifest signature mismatch - possible tampering detected, and the files stay exactly where
  organize put them
• verify_integrity on the same corrupted manifest: same refusal
• manifest_id: "not-a-uuid":
  Input validation error: ... must match pattern "^[0-9a-f]{8}-...", reported
  as a validation error rather than a lookup miss

Tests

tests/unit/core/organize/manifest-verification-and-lock.test.ts, 17 cases.
They are not mocked: nothing stubs verification, because a mocked check would
pass while the real one stayed unreachable.

The seven the first push opened with:

• a manifest this machine wrote lists as signatureValid: true
• a corrupted manifest still appears in the list, with signatureValid: false
• undoing a corrupted manifest throws and moves nothing
• an unverified newer manifest blocks an out-of-order undo rather than being
  ignored
• two concurrent undoes of the same id: exactly one wins, the loser gets a
  clean "not found" ValidationError, all three files come back exactly once,
  and the manifest is spent
• a lock held by a failed undo is released, so a later undo is not blocked
• a malformed id is a schema error, not a filesystem miss

The other ten split as eight on ManifestLockService itself (renewal, a lost
lock stopping a critical section, the put-back window read correctly twice,
several waiters taking over one dead lock, errno reporting instead of a
timeout, a live lock timing a waiter out, release through a holder's throw)
and two on the undo (a second undo kept out of a running batch, and one that
loses the lock mid-batch stopping with the manifest still in place).

Red first: with rollback.ts and schemas/organize.ts reverted, 6 of the 17
fail. The other 11 pass without the change, and should: they cover the
pre-existing getManifest guard, a regression guard on lock release, and the
lock protocol itself, which the revert does not touch.

Gates: 104 suites / 1451 passed, 2 skipped. build, typecheck:tests, lint,
docs:check exit 0. test:security PASS with 0 critical and 0 high.

AGENTS.md's two "Security notes worth knowing" bullets for these gaps are
rewritten to describe the lock and the flag, since the old text described the
unfixed state.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Undo and integrity-verification requests now validate manifest IDs as UUIDs. Concurrent requests can no longer undo the same manifest.
  • Manifests that fail integrity checks remain visible but cannot be used for rollback; unverified newer manifests also block older rollbacks.
  • Rollback operations now maintain and verify lock ownership during longer tasks, helping prevent conflicting changes.
  • Improved handling of midnight EXIF dates, dry-run undo handles, skipped duplicate candidates, duplicate-deletion verification and undo details, and oversized duplicate-file verification.

Follow-up: making the lock honest about its own lifetime

The first version of ManifestLockService borrowed the history lock's staleness
rule whole, and that rule is wrong here. HistoryLoggerService's critical
section is one appendFile, so its lock never outlives it. applyRollback moves
every file a manifest names and takes as long as that takes, so past the
staleness window a second undo would reclaim the directory and both would spend
the same batch of moves.

Two changes fix that. A holder renews its lock on a timer, and the renewal goes
through the FileHandle the lock was created with, so it touches an inode and
can never refresh a lock that replaced the original at that path. The holder
also gets a ManifestLockLease it checks between files, so one that was
reclaimed anyway stops where it stands rather than finding out at the end.

Three more findings from review, all in the same file:

• every filesystem error while taking the lock read as contention, so a
  read-only or missing rollback directory surfaced after the full wait window
  as "another undo is stuck". Those errors now carry their own cause, and
  removeManifest creates the rollback directory before locking so a fresh
  install fails with the real error.
• reclaiming a stale lock read its age and then unlinked it, so a waiter that
  lost the create race deleted the replacement the winner had just written.
  Reclaiming is now a rename to a private tombstone and the moved file is read
  back before it is dropped, so two waiters cannot both remove one dead lock and
  a live lock that appeared in the meantime is put straight back.
• the signatureValid flag on listManifests was named verified in the first
  push, which collided with IntegrityReport.verified meaning the opposite
  thing: whether the files are still where the manifest put them, not whether
  the manifest is this machine's record.

manifest-lock.ts joins scripts/security-gates/static-analysis.ts's exclusion
list with its reason recorded: it reads only storageDir/manifests.lock, a
fixed basename with no caller input reaching it.

Gates: full suite 1451 passed / 104 suites, docs:check clean, security suite
78 passed, build, typecheck:tests and lint clean. Driven on the real server
over stdio: organize_files wrote a manifest, undo_last_operation took the
lock and returned no errors. The renewal timer itself is covered by unit
tests, not by the stdio run, since a 3-file batch finishes well inside the
window. Those tests use real tick() delays with their timing arithmetic
written out in the test itself, not a fake clock.

Round 3: the coverage gap and the failed token write

The per-file ownership check was advertised and untested: with both
assertStillOwns() calls inside applyRollback neutered, all 16 tests in the
file still passed. The new test starts a 60-move undo, polls the lock file
until the holder's token is written, swaps in a foreign token the holder is
not carrying, and asserts the undo reports the loss and keeps the manifest.
Neutering the two calls now fails exactly that test. The stop surfaces as a
reported failure rather than a rejection, because the loop's catch turns the
throw into results.errors; the test asserts the message wherever it arrives.

tryAcquireLock opened the lock file with wx before writing the token, so a
write that failed (ENOSPC is the realistic one) left an empty file at the path
and an open handle behind it. The handle is now hoisted so the catch closes it,
and the thrown message says the file was created but not written rather than
that it could not be created. The empty file itself is deliberately left in
place: no path-based unlink can prove at the moment it runs that the file is
still this attempt's own rather than a replacement another waiter created
after reclaiming it, and a pause between the proof and the call reopens that
gap. An empty file that the staleness threshold reclaims is the smaller harm
compared with a live lock deleted by mistake. EEXIST still means contention
and still retries.

Review

Checked out a8f84ef (HEAD == headRefOid). Gates run in this worktree, unpiped:
build, typecheck:tests, lint, docs:check all exit 0; full suite from the
JSON reporter is 104 suites / 1441 passed / 2 pending / 0 failed, matching the
PR body. Mutation check: with src/core/organize/rollback.ts and
src/schemas/organize.ts reverted to 6fb934d, exactly 4 of the 7 new tests
fail, for the reasons claimed (verified flag ×2, the concurrency case, the
schema case). Restored, still green.

Real-server check through the verify harness: two independent server processes
calling undo_last_operation on the same id simultaneously produced one
{"success":3,"failed":0} and one Validation Error: Manifest … not found;
manifests.lock was released, the manifest was spent, all three files were
back. That is the headline claim, proven on the artifact.

The design reads well. Flagging over filtering, getManifest staying the only
path-hand, a lock of its own rather than a share of operations.lock, and
findNewerConflicts reading the flag instead of re-verifying are all the right
calls, and the reasoning is written down where the next agent will find it.
src/core/organize/quarantine.ts:404 swapping its own verifyManifest call for
the list's flag is behaviour-neutral — same verdict, one fewer recompute.

---

🔴 Blocker

The lock does not hold for the whole critical section, so the guarantee the
PR documents is not the one it delivers.

src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:95-104 breaks a lock older than
lockTimeoutMs * 2, and nothing refreshes the lock's mtime while it is held.
The critical section is an entire undo — applyRollback moves every file the
manifest names — which is unbounded in time. So with the default 5000 ms window:

• holder starts an undo at t=0, still working at t=10s (any large batch);
• a second undo of the same id starts at t>5s;
• at t≈10s the waiter sees the lock age cross 10s, unlinks it, writes its own
  token, and both callers are now inside the critical section — one batch of
  moves, spent twice, which is the exact bug this PR closes.

Reproduced against the built ManifestLockService with both callers at the same
timeout (scaled to 200 ms; holder works 1000 ms, second caller starts 400 ms in):
holder finished at 1008ms / latecomer finished at 455ms — the two critical
sections overlapped. The token discipline held (the latecomer's release did not
steal the holder's), so this is purely the staleness rule, not the release path.

Why this is new rather than inherited: HistoryLoggerService uses the identical
protocol safely because its critical section is one appendFile. Copying it into
a critical section of unbounded duration is where the protocol stops being
sufficient — the 2× rule only protects a waiter that starts before the holder.

Two acceptable resolutions, either is enough:

1. Heartbeat — while holding, periodically touch the lock's mtime
   (fs.utimes(lockFilePath, now, now) on an interval cleared in the finally).
   A holder that is alive keeps its own lock fresh; a genuinely dead holder's
   lock stops being refreshed and is reclaimed on schedule. Small change, and
   CHANGELOG.md:85-90 / API.md:1063 then stand as written. Please add a test
   at new RollbackService(dir, smallTimeout) that pins "a second caller cannot
   enter while the first is still working" — the existing concurrency test uses a
   3-file undo that finishes in single-digit ms, so it cannot see this window at
   any timeout.
2. Soften the claim — keep the lock as a best-effort serialiser and say so in
   CHANGELOG.md:85-90, API.md:1063 and AGENTS.md:283-288: it holds while the
   critical section finishes inside 2× the wait window, and a long undo can be
   joined. I would rather have (1), but an honest bound beats an overstated one
   either way.

💡 Suggestions

• src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:114-116 — every fs failure reads as
  contention. The catch returns null, so EACCES on a read-only config dir,
  ENOSPC, or a missing storage directory all surface after 5 s as "Manifest
  lock timeout — another undo or restore is stuck on the same directory", which
  sends the user looking for a stuck process that does not exist. Re-throw
  non-EEXIST errno cases, and call ensureStorage() in removeManifest
  (src/core/organize/rollback.ts:346 — rollback does, removeManifest
  doesn't) so a fresh install fails with the real error rather than a lock
  timeout.

• src/tools/rollback.ts:30 vs src/core/organize/manifest-integrity.ts:21 —
  the JSON schema pattern is stricter than the Zod one. Zod uses /i; the
  hand-written pattern is [0-9a-f] only, so a client that validates against the
  wire schema will refuse an uppercase UUID the server would happily accept.
  randomUUID() emits lowercase so this is latent, but it is the inverse of the
  drift this hunk exists to prevent. Use [0-9a-fA-F].

• Two different meanings for verified. ListedManifest.verified
  (src/core/organize/rollback.ts:124) means the manifest's own signature
  checks out; IntegrityReport.verified (src/tools/rollback.ts:177) means every
  named file rehashed and matched. Neither crosses the wire today, but the name
  collision in the same module is a trap for the next reader.
  signatureValid or integrityVerified would cost nothing now.

• API.md:1145 — verify_integrity's manifest_id row was not updated the
  way undo_last_operation's was (API.md:1060). The field now rejects
  non-UUIDs in both tools, so both parameter tables should say so.

• The verified flag is not reachable by any tool. listManifests has two
  callers in src/tools/, both of which read only .id
  (src/tools/rollback.ts:90, :228). So the rationale "an agent cannot warn a
  user about a manifest it cannot see" is latent — nothing surfaces the flag to an
  agent until a tool lists manifests. Worth one line in the PR body so nobody
  reads the CHANGELOG entry as a user-visible change.

• No test for the lock-timeout path or for a live contender. One
  ManifestLockService-level case each (timeout under contention; release after
  a throw with a waiter parked) would pin the parts of manifest-lock.ts the
  suite currently leaves uncovered.

What I could not close

The staleness window above is the residual risk; everything else I checked holds.
I did not run the 6-leg CI matrix — this is Linux/Node only, and nothing here
looks platform-sensitive (manifests.lock is a plain sibling file, the new tests
use os.tmpdir() and never assert on an absolute path).

Review (follow-up)

Follow-up to the review above. CI is green on f3b3378, and I re-ran the gates
locally before writing this.

What I verified

• CI: 12 checks green on f3b3378, all 6 OS/Node legs.
• Locally: build, typecheck:tests, lint, docs:check all exit 0.
  Citations clean, tool count in sync at 37.
• tests/unit/core/organize/manifest-verification-and-lock.test.ts: 13/13 pass.
• Mutation checks, because "the tests fail without the change" is the claim
  worth testing.

Mutation	Tests that failed
Disable the renewal timer	1
Delete both assertStillOwns() calls inside applyRollback	0
Change wx to w (no exclusive create)	3
Make signatureValid always true	2
Drop the UUID regex from the undo schema	1

Findings

1. The per-file ownership check is untested. This is the gap.

src/core/organize/rollback.ts:567 and :812 are the two assertStillOwns()
calls inside the undo itself. Remove both and all 13 tests still pass. The
mechanism is only exercised at the lock level, where a test calls
assertStillOwns() directly on the lease. Nothing proves rollback actually
checks between files or before the unlink, and both CHANGELOG.md and
AGENTS.md advertise that as one of the fixes.

A test would start an undo on a decent-size batch, overwrite the lock token from
outside while it runs, and assert the undo rejects with "Lost the manifest lock"
while the manifest file survives. It is timing-based, so the call is whether
that belongs in CI.

2. The put-back path can still overwrite a live lock.

src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:224-238 does stat then rename. Those
are not atomic. If a third waiter wins wx in the gap, rename replaces the
destination on POSIX and two callers believe they hold. Replace the pair with
fs.link(tombstone, this.lockFilePath), which fails with EEXIST instead of
clobbering.

3. The double read in checkOwnership has no delay.

src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:259-261 reads the path twice back to back
to cover the rename window, so both reads can land inside that window. An
innocent holder then reports a lost lock and aborts a valid undo. The failure is
a retriable undo rather than a damaged one, so this is minor, but a short pause
before the second read closes it.

4. The PR body now contradicts itself.

The Tests section still says "7 cases" (it is 13) and verified: true /
verified: false, while a bullet further down explains the rename to
signatureValid. It also says the renewal timer is covered "with a fake
clock". There are no fake timers anywhere in that file, the tests use real
tick() delays.

5. Nit. In tryAcquireLock (src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:184-186),
if writeFile throws after open succeeds, the handle is never closed and an
empty lock file is left behind. That blocks waiters for up to 2x the window, and
the message reads "could not be created" when it was.

6. Follow-up, outside this diff. removeManifest throws a raw ENOENT when
the manifest is already gone. A concurrent undo spending it first makes that
reachable, and QuarantineService.restore does not catch it, so a successful
restore can surface as an error. ENOENT should count as success there.

What holds up

Flagging over filtering, getManifest staying the only path-hand, the lock
being its own file instead of a share of operations.lock, and
rename-to-tombstone reclaim are all the right calls. The renewal goes through
the held FileHandle, so it can never refresh a lock that replaced it at that
path. verifyManifest is pure crypto with no file reads, so verifying every
manifest in listManifests is not an I/O regression. No nested runExclusive
anywhere, so no deadlock. The static-analysis.ts exclusion for
manifest-lock.ts is justified, it reads one fixed basename with no caller
input.

Not verifiable from Linux: on Windows, renaming a file another process holds
open may fail with EPERM. If it does, a stale lock held by a live-but-slow
process makes waiters time out instead of stealing, which fails in the safe
direction. No test exercises it and the Windows legs will not catch it.

🟡 Minor · Clean up a partially created lock after token-write failure. · manifest-lock.ts:149-200

src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:149-200
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clean up a partially created lock after token-write failure.

fs.open(this.lockFilePath, "wx") creates the path before handle.writeFile(token) runs. If the write fails, the catch rethrows without closing the handle or removing the path. The runExclusive() finally does not run because acquireLock() has not returned. A later rollback or manifest removal can treat the fresh partial file as a live lock and time out.

Suggested fix

     const token = this.newToken();
+    let handle: fs.FileHandle | undefined;
     try {
-      const handle = await fs.open(this.lockFilePath, "wx");
+      handle = await fs.open(this.lockFilePath, "wx");
       await handle.writeFile(token);
       return { token, handle };
     } catch (error) {
+      if (handle) {
+        await handle.close().catch(() => null);
+        await fs.unlink(this.lockFilePath).catch(() => null);
+      }

Add rollback-level lease-loss coverage.

The current tests do not execute rollback after ownership is lost. The lock test only counts critical-section steps, and the concurrent rollback test keeps the winning lease valid. Removing both rollback checks would therefore leave the current tests passing.

Add a filesystem-backed test that reclaims the lock during a multi-action rollback. Assert that the next action is not moved and that the manifest remains. Use the existing stale-lock pattern from the lock test to coordinate reclamation.

Review (round 3)

Checked out 913d6ef (HEAD == headRefOid). CI is green on this commit: all 6
OS/Node legs, static checks, security audit, build. mergeable: MERGEABLE,
mergeStateStatus: CLEAN. All four review threads from earlier rounds are
resolved. I re-read the full diff and re-ran the new test file locally: 16/16
pass.

What got fixed since last round

• The staleness blocker is closed. The holder renews on a timer through the
  handle the lock was created with, so the renewal addresses an inode and cannot
  refresh a replacement. The lease stops applyRollback between files, and the
  renewal test spells out its timing arithmetic in the test itself, which is
  what makes it trustworthy rather than tuned until green.
• The put-back race is closed with fs.link instead of stat-then-rename, and
  the test that moves the lock aside and restores it inside the wait pins the
  straddle fix.
• ensureStorage in removeManifest, non-EEXIST errno errors carrying their
  own cause, the signatureValid rename, and both API.md parameter rows are
  all in.

Findings

1. The per-file ownership check is still untested. This is the one real gap.

src/core/organize/rollback.ts:567 and :812. I re-ran the mutation from last
round: with both assertStillOwns() calls inside applyRollback neutered, all
16 tests in manifest-verification-and-lock.test.ts still pass. The mechanism
is exercised at the lock level only, where a test calls it directly. AGENTS.md
and CHANGELOG.md both advertise the between-files stop as part of the fix, so
the promise and the coverage disagree.

A test that does not lean on fine timing: start a 60-move undo, overwrite
manifests.lock with a foreign token as soon as the lock file appears (poll on
fs.access, not a fixed sleep), and assert the undo rejects with
/lost the manifest lock/i while the manifest file still exists. The batch
takes far longer than the poll, and the pre-unlink check catches the overwrite
even if the batch slips past the loop check, so the test cannot pass for the
wrong reason.

2. tryAcquireLock leaks the handle and the lock file when the token write fails.

src/core/organize/manifest-lock.ts:184-199. handle is scoped inside the
try, so when handle.writeFile(token) throws (ENOSPC is the realistic one),
the catch cannot close it and the empty lock file stays at the path. Waiters
then read it as a live lock, refuse to steal it, and time out after their full
window. The thrown message also says "could not be created" when it was.
CodeRabbit flagged the same in its latest round.

Hoist the handle declaration, and in the catch close it, unlink the path when
the open succeeded, then rethrow. Roughly six lines, no behavior change on the
EEXIST path.

3. The PR body still contradicts itself.

The Tests section still says "7 cases" (the file has 16), still says
verified: true / verified: false (renamed to signatureValid in a later
commit), and the follow-up section says the renewal timer is covered "with a
fake clock" (there are no fake timers in that file, the tests use real tick()
delays). Anyone reading the body to decide whether to trust the tests gets
three wrong facts.

4. Follow-up, unchanged from last round. removeManifest throws a raw
ENOENT (src/core/organize/rollback.ts:376) and QuarantineService.restore
(src/core/organize/quarantine.ts:307) does not catch it. A concurrent undo
spending the manifest first makes that reachable, so a clean restore surfaces
as an error. ENOENT should count as success there. Outside this diff, so it
stays a follow-up.

What holds up

Flagging over filtering. getManifest as the only path-hand. The lock being
its own file rather than a share of operations.lock. Renewal through the held
handle. Reclamation as rename-to-tombstone, with the moved file read back and a
live lock put back via link. No nested runExclusive anywhere: quarantine's
restore calls removeManifest outside any lock, so no deadlock path. No import
cycle from src/schemas/organize.ts into manifest-integrity.ts, which
imports only fs, path, crypto, types and paths. The static-analysis.ts
exclusion is justified and its reason is recorded in the list. Repowise's "5
files that usually change with this PR are not in it" is a co-change heuristic
about duplicate-management and friends; nothing in this diff touches those
paths.

Still not verifiable from Linux: on Windows, renaming a file another process
holds open may fail with EPERM. If it does, a stale lock held by a
live-but-slow process makes waiters time out instead of stealing, which fails in
the safe direction.

Verdict

Merge-ready except for 1 and 2, both small: one test, one cleanup path. CI is
green, every previously resolved thread stayed resolved, and the code itself is
sound. Finding 3 is three edits to the body. Windows EPERM stays untested and
acceptable.

Review by MiMo in OpenCode on behalf of Kriday.

Addressed in 2da247f

Findings 1, 2 and 3 are fixed. Finding 4 stays a follow-up, as the review called it: removeManifest's raw ENOENT and QuarantineService.restore are outside this diff.

1. The per-file ownership check now has a test. stops the undo when another process takes the lock mid-batch follows the recipe from the review: 60-move undo, poll the lock file until the holder's token is in (content poll, not fs.access alone, because the file exists before the token is written and an early overwrite can lose to the holder's own write), swap in a foreign token, read back to confirm the swap stuck. The undo reports /lost the manifest lock/i and the manifest file survives.

One deviation, and it is about real behavior rather than the recipe: the stop surfaces as a resolved result with failed: 1 and the message in errors, not a rejection. applyRollback's loop catch (rollback.ts:737) turns the throw at the top of an action into a reported failure and runs recovery; only the pre-unlink check rejects, wrapped as "Rollback completed but failed to delete manifest". The test asserts the message wherever it arrives, plus failed > 0, success < 60, and the manifest on disk.

Mutation-checked both ways: neutering the two assertStillOwns() calls inside applyRollback fails exactly this test (1 of 17); restoring them brings it back. Reverting rollback.ts and schemas/organize.ts to 6fb934d fails 6 of 17.

2. The handle and lock file are cleaned up on a failed token write. handle is hoisted above the try; the catch closes it and unlinks the path when the open succeeded, then rethrows with the same cause chain. EEXIST still means contention and still retries, and nothing else changed on that path. The empty-lock-file scenario needs ENOSPC to test, which would need a fault-injection hook this PR does not add, so this one rides on the review's six-line shape rather than a new test.

3. The body's three wrong facts are corrected. Tests section now says 17 cases with the count split 7 + 10 across the two areas, verified: true / verified: false are signatureValid in both places they appeared (including the Problem section), the red-first line is the measured 6 of 17 against the current file, the gates lines carry the numbers from this run (1451 passed / 104 suites), and the renewal paragraph now says the tests use real tick() delays with their arithmetic written out, not a fake clock. The body also records this round under its own heading.

Gates on this push: build, lint, typecheck:tests, docs:check exit 0, test:security 78 passed, full suite 1451 passed / 104 suites / 2 skipped.

Correction to the reply above, finding 2 only: the final shape in b04103a does not unlink.

CodeRabbit's round on 2da247f pointed out that no path-based unlink can prove at execution time that the file is still this attempt's own, since a pause between the check and the call (laptop sleep) lets a waiter reclaim the file and put a live lock where the unlink then lands. You chose its race-free option: the catch closes the handle and leaves the empty file for the staleness threshold to reclaim. The cost is the one spelled out in the question: waiters can time out on that empty file for up to 2x the wait window, and it only happens when the disk is full or the config dir is unwritable anyway. The thrown message now says the file was created but its token could not be written, which was the accuracy half of finding 2.

Findings 1 and 3 are unchanged from that reply. CodeRabbit's thread is resolved, CI is green on b04103a, and the PR is MERGEABLE / CLEAN with main merged in (CHANGELOG union, no markers).
