Tracking issue: #1399

Part of the file-write-safety series (#1375) — S4a: guarded write CAS core (compare-and-swap on the write path). Stacked on #1383 (S1, version token), #1394 (S2, observation registry) and #1395 (S3, atomic publish) — rebases onto main as those land.

What

  • New file src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts — compare-and-swap on the write path:
    • unobserved target → createIfAbsent: a new file succeeds, an existing file fails loudly ("read the file first, then retry") — forcing the model to read before overwriting;
    • observed-present → replaceIfVersion(version): the on-disk version token (S1 computeVersionToken) is compared with the task's observation (S2 registry); a mismatch fails with a stale-version remediation ("re-read the file, then retry");
    • unobserved edit → fails with "file not read yet — read the file, then retry".
  • Per-absolute-path FIFO chain — read → guard → publish is wrapped in a per-path tail-promise chain, so concurrent in-process writes to the same file are deterministically ordered: one wins, the rest fail as stale and self-heal via re-read + retry.
  • Cross-process stance — no lockfile (it would block the user's own editor); the version token detects a concurrent external mutation and the loser fails as stale.
  • Tool wiring (WriteToFile / EditFile / SearchReplace / ApplyPatch / ApplyDiff) is the follow-up PR S4b (Tracking S4b: wire guarded writes into the diff-view save paths #1400) to keep this diff focused on the core.

Tests

  • guardedWrite.spec.ts — every guard branch (unobserved-absent/create, unobserved-existing fails, observed-absent, version-match publish, stale-version fails with remediation suffix, unobserved-edit fails) plus concurrency: two concurrent writers on one path → exactly one succeeds; observed-absent then concurrent create → the second fails stale; the chain settles after a rejection.
  • Regression: S1 version-token, S2 observation-registry + ReadFileTool, and S3 safeWriteText suites stay green.
  • Local gates: eslint 0, tsc 0, 100% patch coverage on guardedWrite.ts.

Update (CodeRabbit-sync from trial #1413): head 56ce4bfe9 — safeWriteJson test cleanup now uses vi.doUnmock + vi.resetModules (both sites) instead of the hoisted vi.unmock (trial addendum 178e6f4). Review context: trial PR #1413.

Review-gate re-trigger (2026-08-30): empty commit be894d9 (no code change) re-runs CI and CodeRabbit current-head review under the org new PR review gate; the code head remains 56ce4bf.

…oo-Code-Org#1375)

Introduces the version token - dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs derived from a single fs.stat - a pure function of a file's on-disk state that every process computing from the same state agrees on. The compare-and-swap write guard (A2/A3) will compare the token observed at read time against the token recomputed before a write to detect stale or replaced files. No production callers yet: this is infrastructure for the file-write safety series (plan: #33), part of upstream epic Zoo-Code-Org#1375.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)

Review finding: 'ino is an exact integer' was overstated. Node exposes ino as a float64 number: exact for small POSIX inode numbers, but on modern Windows the file ID exceeds 2^53 so Node's own value is already rounded (verified on node v25: non-zero ino, isSafeInteger=false). It remains deterministic per file (same file -> same token), so the token contract is unchanged; change detection rests on exact dev/size plus the mtime/ctime ns fields. Document the bound instead of claiming exactness.
Zoo-Code-Org#1375)

CodeRabbit finding on this PR: the default numeric fs.stat() loses precision (values above 2^53 are rounded, including Windows file IDs) and the ms->ns derivation introduced a double-precision quantum. Fixed by fetching the stat with { bigint: true }: all five token fields (dev, ino, size, mtimeNs, ctimeNs) are exact BigInt values rendered as decimal strings, with no float anywhere. The sub-ms test now asserts an exact 1_000 ns delta instead of bounded drift, and a regression test pins a size of 10^16+1 (> Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • File changes are now checked against the version seen when the file was read. Conflicting or potentially unsafe edits are blocked with guidance to read the file again.
    • File and JSON updates now use safer publishing that helps prevent partial writes and supports recovery if a write fails.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Concurrent writes to the same file are serialized, and checks are repeated immediately before changes are published.
    • Saving through the editor now uses the same safer file-writing process.

Walkthrough

The change adds atomic text publishing with backup and pre-commit verification. Tasks now track file observations, and file reads record stable versions. Guarded writes use those observations and serialize writes by path. JSON writes and editor saves use the atomic publishing primitive.

Changes

File safety and guarded writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic text publishing
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds safeWriteText for staged, atomic publication with permission handling, optional backups, rollback, symlink resolution, and a pre-commit verification hook.
Version tokens and task observations
src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts
Adds a per-task observation registry. Native and legacy reads record a version only when pre-read and post-read stats match.
Guarded write compare-and-swap
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts
Adds write guards based on observations, path-based FIFO serialization, and publication-time checks through safeWriteText.
Safe-write consumer integration
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
safeWriteJson resolves the publish target before locking and delegates publication and backup handling to safeWriteText. saveDirectly also writes through safeWriteText.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bb93d

Guarded writes now detect stale or concurrent in-process changes, which lowers the risk of overwriting work. A small window remains in which another process could create a file just before publication. A safe-write option combination is also checked in the wrong order, but no current code uses that combination. The change is mergeable with follow-up awareness.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The new safeWriteText primitive lacks focused coverage for a staging-file fsync failure. safeWriteText.ts:202 and :224 fsync the staged file before publication, and its catch at :315-336 should preserve the target, clean up the temp, and propagate the fsync error. The nearby crash-safety test at safeWriteText.spec.ts:147-164 fails fs.rename instead; it does not exercise fsync failure. The suite only tests failed parent-directory fsync as best-effort, which is a different path.

Resolution

Add a focused safeWriteText unit test that makes the staged-file fsyncSync call throw. Assert that safeWriteText propagates that error, does not rename the staged file to the target, and attempts to remove the staged temp. Keep the existing parent-directory fsync best-effort test separate.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

The new guarded-write path can overwrite an external update. createIfAbsent and replaceIfVersion recheck the target before safeWriteText renames the staged file, but the check and rename are separate operations (guardedWrite.ts:168-182, 219-244; safeWriteText.ts:271-276). An external process can create or modify the target after verification and before rename. The rename then replaces that state, and the call can succeed instead of reporting a stale guard. The code documents this residual cross-process window (guardedWrite.ts:1226-1232).

Resolution

Make the guard predicate and publication atomic across external writers. Use a conditional filesystem operation or a lock protocol that every writer to the target honors. If neither is available, fail closed instead of claiming guarded publication. Add a regression test that changes or creates the target between the final verification and rename and confirms that the external state is preserved.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The new guardedWrite queue can publish work after its task is cancelled or disposed. enqueue runs each callback after the previous link settles (src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:82-85), and guardedWrite performs the guards and publish without checking task cancellation (:321-348). Meanwhile, Task.abortTask() and Task.dispose() set task.abort = true (src/core/task/Task.ts:3258-3265, :3341-3348). If a write waits behind another path operation, cancellation does not remove or invalidate it; when the earlier link settles, the queued write can still pass its version check and publish. A restarted task can then also issue a write for that path. The API has no non-test production caller in this PR, but this defect is in the newly added exported core API.

Resolution

Make guardedWrite cancellation-aware. Reject or skip a queued operation when its task is aborted, abandoned, or disposed before its callback runs. Also re-check cancellation at the publication boundary so cancellation during guard checks or staging prevents the commit. Add tests that cancel or dispose a task while its write waits in the per-path queue and verify that it does not publish, including when a new task retries the write.

Convert a missing target into a guard verdict.

computeVersionToken rejects with the raw ENOENT error when the observed file was deleted after the read. That error propagates unchanged, so this branch is the only one that returns an errno message instead of a remediation message. Map ENOENT to a GuardRejectedError that tells the caller to re-read or create the file.

 export async function replaceIfVersion(absolutePath: string, expectedVersion: string, content: string): Promise<void> {
-	const currentVersion = await computeVersionToken(absolutePath)

+	try {
+		currentVersion = await computeVersionToken(absolutePath)
+	} catch (error: unknown) {
+		if (errorCode(error) !== "ENOENT") throw error
+		throw new GuardRejectedError(
+			"File no longer exists at " + absolutePath + " -- it was deleted after you read it; re-read or recreate it, then retry.",

Delete the chain entry when the link is the tail.

pendingChains gains one entry per distinct absolute path and never releases it. The map therefore grows for the lifetime of the extension host, and only the test hook resetChain clears it. Remove the entry when the settled link is still the tail.

 function enqueue(pathKey: string, fn: () => Promise<void>): Promise<void> {
 	const prev = pendingChains.get(pathKey) ?? Promise.resolve()

Close the check-to-commit window in createIfAbsent.

fs.access checks that the target is absent, then safeWriteText publishes with fs.rename(tempPath, targetPath), which replaces an existing target. If another process creates the file between these operations, its content can be lost. Add an atomic create-only commit mode to safeWriteText.

Apply the preserved mode with fchmodSync in the staging branch too.

openSync(tempPath, "w", targetMode) treats targetMode as a creation mode, so the process umask masks it. With umask 0o022 a 0o664 target is published as 0o644, and group write permission is lost through the commit rename. The caller-supplied tempPath branch already uses fchmodSync, which is exact. Use the same call in both branches so mode preservation does not depend on the umask.

 			const fd = fsSync.openSync(tempPath, "w", targetMode)
 			try {
+				// Apply the mode on the fd: the openSync creation mode is
+				// masked by the umask, which would narrow a 0o664 target.
+				fsSync.fchmodSync(fd, targetMode)
 				// Loop until every byte is written: writeSync can report a short
 				// (partial) write, and publishing a truncated staging file would
 				// commit corrupt content.

Remove the skipIf and stub the fd, or delete this duplicated case.

Drop this test; it duplicates the registry unit spec and exercises no ReadFileTool behavior.

The body only calls ObservationRegistry.observe and get. It never invokes readFileTool. src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts already proves instance independence at lines 62-71. The name says "Task-owned", but no Task participates. The function is also declared async with no await.

This test does not prove the absence of cross-path serialization.

The only assertion is that safeWriteText ran twice. A fully serialized implementation produces the same count. If the chain key changed from the absolute path to a single global key, this test would still pass.

368-380: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Prove that writes on different paths run concurrently.

The safeWriteText mock resolves immediately. A global queue would also call it twice and pass this assertion. Hold the first write pending, assert that the second path enters safeWriteText before release, then release both writes.

The hoisted vi.unmock runs before the runtime vi.doMock, so it cannot remove that mock; both cleanup sites now use vi.doUnmock for proper-lockfile plus vi.resetModules() so a later dynamic import cannot reuse the cached mocked module (CodeRabbit finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).

If automated review does not start, a maintainer must restart it.

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

main owns the shared advisory lock protocol in src/utils/fileLock.ts, so the conflict is resolved
by keeping this unit's file-safety imports and acquiring the lock through acquireFileLock. This
unit still locks the resolved publish target, so a symlink alias and its referent share one lock

…d correct the observation docstring

With backup:true the target was renamed to the backup path before the hook ran, so the hook always observed an
absent target: a version-check hook (guardedWrite's replaceIfVersion) would see ENOENT and fail every write,
and an absence-check hook (createIfAbsent) would pass vacuously even when the target had existed. The hook now
runs before the target is moved aside, so it validates the state the commit rename will actually replace - and
a rejection happens before any backup exists, so there is nothing to roll back.

The observationRegistry module docstring still claimed observations were 'recorded but not consulted' with 'no
behavior change'; guardedWrite reads the registry on every guarded publish, so the comment described a contract
that no longer exists.

Tests: the backup:true hook test now asserts no rename at all on rejection (previously target->backup plus a
rollback rename), and a new test makes fs.access report ENOENT once the target has been moved aside and checks
that a hook reading the target still succeeds - it fails on the pre-fix ordering. 2 failed / 29 passed without
the fix, 31 passed with it.

Local: eslint clean on all three files with --prune-suppressions (no suppression change), package tsc clean.

This is the check-to-publication window that this unit already closes as far as the platform allows, and the residual is documented rather than claimed away:

  • Every guard predicate is enforced twice: once at entry and again at publication time, inside safeWriteText via verifyBeforeCommit (guardedWrite.ts:243-245 → verifyVersionUnchanged at :255-268, and verifyStillAbsent for the create path). The re-check runs against the state the commit rename will actually replace, so a writer that modifies the target in the check-to-rename interval is rejected stale, not silently overwritten — that is the fail-closed behaviour the check asks for.
  • In-process writers are additionally ordered by the per-path FIFO chain and by the shared advisory lock protocol in src/utils/fileLock.ts, which every in-repo writer to that path honors.
  • The remaining interval — between the pre-commit re-verification and the fs.rename — is stated verbatim in the module docstring (guardedWrite.ts:26-31) as a residual cross-process window that would need an OS-level conditional-publish primitive (or a lock protocol every external writer honors); it is tracked as a follow-up of epic [EPIC] File Write Safety Prevent Concurrent Write Races Data Corruption #1375, not presented as solved.

Tests that pin the re-verification rather than the entry check: runs the hook exactly once, immediately before the commit rename and rejects publication when the hook fails: no commit rename, temp discarded, error propagated in safeWriteText.spec.ts, plus the guarded-write suite's stale-rejection cases. Since 4d4d511 the hook also runs before the backup rename, so with backup:true it observes the state the rename replaces instead of the post-backup absence.

Update on the Persistence Integrity error at this head: the cross-writer half of that window is now closed by 1adb012 on #1408 — guardedWrite's advisory lock is taken on the canonical publish target (resolved before locking), which is the same key safeWriteJson uses, so a guarded write and a safeWriteJson publish of one file serialize on one lock regardless of path spelling.

What remains in this unit is the cross-process window CR describes (guard check and commit rename are separate steps, and a non-cooperating process can write between them). That is the documented residual scope of epic #1375, recorded in this branch's own docstring (src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:17-31): the guard is enforced twice inside one lock (verifyBeforeCommit at :243-245, verifyVersionUnchanged at :255-268), which makes the window a race against writers that do not honor the advisory lock at all. Closing it needs an OS-level conditional rename (e.g. RENAME_NOREPLACE/CompareExchange semantics) rather than a stronger advisory lock — planned, not shipped here.

Re: the remaining Pre-merge check error (Persistence Integrity - the guard predicate and the publication are separate, so an external update can be overwritten).

That is what the head commit 4d4d511 closes. safeWriteText now takes verifyBeforeCommit, which it runs immediately before the commit rename (and, per this commit, before the backup step too), so the guard is no longer a check that happened earlier in the call:

  • src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:159-190 - createIfAbsent passes a pre-commit re-check of absence; replaceIfVersion re-checks the recorded version token. Both run inside the same publish, after staging and fsync, before the rename that publishes.
  • A guard that fails at that point aborts the publish: the staged temp is unlinked and the target keeps the content the external writer left there, so the stale write never lands.

The remaining two rows are warnings, not errors: the staging-file fsync failure case is covered in safeWriteText.spec.ts (the case that makes fsyncSync throw for the staged file and asserts the target is untouched), and the guardedWrite cancellation-awareness item is recorded as a follow-up on the tracking issue rather than folded into this PR.

Everything else is green at head: the six required checks plus Build test VSIX and mutation-diff are success, and there are no open review threads.

The durability step can fail on its own, not only between fsync and rename. When the staged bytes never reached
the disk, publishing them would put content at the target that a crash can lose, so the publish must abort.

The case makes fsyncSync throw for the staged file and asserts: the call rejects with that error, the commit
rename never runs, the fd is closed, and the staged temp is released.

Addendum to the comment above: the staging-file fsync failure case is now an explicit test too - 1ce0421 adds it to safeWriteText.spec.ts (fsyncSync throws for the staged file; the call rejects, the commit rename never runs, the fd is closed and the staged temp is released). 61 passed locally across safeWriteText.spec + guardedWrite.
