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 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 use safer publishing to help prevent partial writes and support recovery if a write fails.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Concurrent writes to the same file are serialized, with checks 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 track file observations, and reads record stable versions. Guarded writes use those observations and serialize writes by path. JSON writes and editor saves use the 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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a2c36

The safe-write changes are mergeable with follow-up. Writes can remove group-write permission from existing files, and they leave hidden staging directories in the workspace. The documentation for the pre-commit hook is out of date. A narrow window remains in which another process can replace a file between the final check and the rename.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The changed CAS pre-commit verification has an uncovered I/O-error branch. verifyVersionUnchanged rethrows non-ENOENT failures from its second computeVersionToken call (src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:255-263). The tests cover stale and ENOENT outcomes for that callback (guardedWrite.spec.ts:438-468), but the pre-commit I/O-failure test at lines 470-480 exercises only the createIfAbsent/fs.access path. The entry-time EACCES test at lines 128-134 does not reach the separate pre-commit callback. This leaves a plausible regression in handling permission or I/O errors immediately before publication without focused coverage.

Resolution

Add a guardedWrite.spec.ts case for an observed update where the entry computeVersionToken matches, then the pre-commit computeVersionToken rejects with a non-ENOENT error. Assert that the same error propagates and publication does not occur.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

safeWriteJson now follows an existing symlink and publishes to its referent without checking that the referent is an approved path. The changed code resolves the path at src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:72 and commits to it at line 124. For example, McpHub.getProjectMcpPath returns <workspace>/.roo/mcp.json without checking its real path (src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts:623-631), and updateServerConfig passes that path to safeWriteJson (McpHub.ts:2033-2042, 2083-2095). If a project supplies .roo/mcp.json as a symlink to a file outside the workspace, a project MCP settings update now overwrites the referent. The previous implementation renamed and replaced the symlink itself. This follows an unvalidated path and bypasses the project-path boundary.

Resolution

Before publishing through a symlink, validate the resolved referent against the caller's approved path boundary. For project MCP settings, reject referents outside the workspace. Alternatively, preserve the prior behavior of replacing the symlink itself. Apply the same caller-specific path policy to other safeWriteJson uses that require confinement.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

safeWriteText can leave a Windows DACL dump file behind. It sets daclDumpPath before _saveDaclWindows runs, but sets it to null when the save command reports failure (src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:235-240). Both the finally cleanup and the failure cleanup unlink the dump only when that path is non-null (:308-312, :333-335). If icacls /save creates a partial .acl.tmp file and then exits with an error, the write falls back as intended but leaves that temporary file in the target directory. The new DACL failure test checks that the write succeeds but does not check dump cleanup (src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts:306-320).

Resolution

Keep the dump path available for cleanup when _saveDaclWindows returns false, while still skipping DACL restore. Attempt to unlink the path in the existing cleanup path, and add a test where the failed save leaves a partial dump file and verify that cleanup removes it.

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.

-	const currentVersion = await computeVersionToken(absolutePath)

+	} catch (error: unknown) {

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> {

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.

♻️ Proposed change to preserve the exact target mode
 			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.

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.

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.

src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:39-48
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the verifyBeforeCommit doc comment. It contradicts the new ordering.

This change runs the hook before the backup rename (Lines 248-258). The option doc was not updated and still describes the old behavior:

  • Lines 40-41 say the hook runs "after any backup rename has moved the target aside".
  • Lines 44-46 say the backup "is rolled back to the target" when the hook rejects.

A caller who reads this contract will expect the hook to see an absent target when backup: true. That is the exact bug this change fixes. The doc must match the code. Hook rejection now happens before any backup exists, so there is nothing to roll back.

Proposed doc fix
-	 * Pre-commit verification hook (A4a guarded write, epic #1375).  Invoked
-	 * at the last moment before the commit rename (after any backup rename
-	 * has moved the target aside) so a caller can re-check the target's
-	 * state and reject publication when it changed since the caller's
-	 * earlier verification.  When the hook rejects, no commit rename is
-	 * performed: the backup (if any) is rolled back to the target and the
-	 * staged temp file is discarded, and the hook's rejection is propagated
-	 * to the caller.
+	 * Pre-commit verification hook (A4a guarded write, epic #1375).  Invoked
+	 * after staging and before any rename, including the backup rename, so
+	 * the hook observes the target state that the commit rename replaces.
+	 * A caller can re-check that state and reject publication when it
+	 * changed since the caller's earlier verification.  When the hook
+	 * rejects, no rename is performed (no backup is taken), the staged temp
+	 * file is discarded, and the hook's rejection is propagated to the
+	 * caller.

The affected lines are not part of the changed hunk, but the changed ordering makes them wrong.

The registry header implied that every out-of-band replacement is rejected. Only a
replacement the pre-publish token comparison detects is: a non-cooperating
process can still replace the target after that check and before the rename,
which no in-process token check can observe. Document the guarantee that holds
and the race that remains, so the contract matches the implementation.

Learning: In `src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts`, the current guarded-write design intentionally does not provide a commit-time atomic compare-and-swap against external writers. The check-to-publication race is a candidate for a future file-safety series item because a cross-platform implementation would require support beyond `fs.promises`.

safeWriteJson resolves a symlink target so every alias of one file shares a
single advisory lock. For a payload whose destination the user chose - the
settings export carries provider profiles and API credentials - following a
link they never pointed at writes secrets into a file they did not pick, and
the previous pathname-replacement behaviour no longer held.

Add SafeWriteJsonOptions.refuseSymlinkTarget: when set, a symlink at the final
path component is rejected before anything is resolved, staged, locked, or
committed. exportSettings opts in. A missing target is still allowed (the
create-from-absent flow is unchanged); any other lstat failure is surfaced
rather than treated as "no link".

Addressed the two pre-merge-check errors at a2c364dc9:

  • Security Boundaries ❌ → fixed in 9f8a857e8. SafeWriteJsonOptions.refuseSymlinkTarget rejects a symlink at
    the final path component before anything is resolved, staged, locked or committed, and exportSettings opts in —
    a credential-bearing export can no longer land on a referent the user never chose. Other callers keep the
    resolve-and-single-lock behaviour. Two tests added; disabling the guard fails exactly the new refusal test.
  • Persistence Integrity ❌ → scoped and planned. The version predicate and the commit rename are two syscalls, so
    the guarantee is compare-and-swap among cooperating writers (every Zoo writer takes the same advisory lock on
    the resolved publish target). Against a non-cooperating process the window is real; it is now documented in the
    observationRegistry header, and the plan to make predicate + publish indivisible is on [BUG] GPT-5.5 Codex uses incorrect context window #41 (6033181952).
  • The two warnings (per-Task registry isolation test, staging-directory cleanup) are tracked separately; the
    registry-isolation test is a one-case addition at the Task layer and the staging cleanup needs the same
    concurrency-safe tracking as the CAS work above.

exportSettings now passes { refuseSymlinkTarget: true } to safeWriteJson, so the
seven export assertions that pinned the two-argument call no longer match. Pass
the same options object in the expectation instead of loosening the matcher, so
the credential-export call site keeps an assertion on the guard it depends on.
…t the hook contract

Three review findings on the guarded-write path:

- The staged temp was created with openSync(tempPath, "w", targetMode), and
  openSync applies the process umask: a 0o664 or 0o666 target was published as
  0o644, dropping group write on every agent save. Set the mode on the
  descriptor with fchmodSync, as the caller-staged branch already did.
- The default path left a hidden .file-safety-staging directory in every
  directory Zoo writes to, visible in the explorer and picked up by watchers
  and indexers. Remove it when the write finishes: rmdirSync fails on a
  non-empty directory, so a concurrent writer still staging there keeps it and
  the last writer to finish cleans up - no shared bookkeeping needed. Applied
  on both the success and the rollback path, and never for a caller-supplied
  tempPath, where no staging directory was ours to create.
- The verifyBeforeCommit JSDoc and the step list still described the pre-4d4d51134
  order: the hook runs BEFORE the backup rename, so a rejection has no backup to
  roll back. Corrected both, and softened "closes the window" to "narrows it".

All four review threads addressed in 8cb59207a (mode preserved via fchmodSync, staging directory removed on success and rollback, verifyBeforeCommit contract corrected); the icacls cost finding answered as intentional. safeWriteText 36/36 with negative controls, safeWriteJson 25 passed, export assertions updated.
