Tracking issue: #1391

Summary

S3 of the file-write safety series (plan: easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#33), part of epic #1375. Introduces the atomic text publish primitive (A4): agent file writes now go temp → fsync → close → atomic rename, so a crash or power loss mid-write can never leave a torn file at the target path. The primitive generalizes the staging/backup/rollback logic currently inline in safeWriteJson (refactored to delegate to it), and DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly (the path all five write tools use) switches from raw fs.writeFile to it.

Changes

  • src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (new): safeWriteText(filePath, content, options?)
    • Writes content to a temp file in a private per-write staging subdir (same volume → atomic rename), fsyncs the fd before close, then atomically renames temp → target.
    • backup: true keeps the old-file semantics (target → backup before commit; backup deleted on success, restored on failure); default is plain atomic replace.
    • Symlinks: resolves the target via fs.realpath first (falling back to the given path when it does not exist), so a write through a symlink replaces the referent's content and never replaces the link itself.
    • Windows DACL: saves the target's DACL to a dump via icacls /save <target> /T before the backup rename, then restores it onto the target's directory after the commit rename. Any failure skips DACL handling entirely (the write is never blocked) and the dump file is always unlinked.
    • File descriptors are released in try/finally, so a failing write/fsync never leaks one.
    • Injection points (platform, execFileRunner, tempPath) keep both platform branches testable without a Windows runner; tempPath lets a caller pre-write (streaming) then fsync+commit.
  • src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts: the commit step now delegates to safeWriteText with the pre-written stream temp (tempPath) and backup: false (the JSON path already manages its own backup); rollback/cleanup logic unchanged.
  • src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts: saveDirectly writes via safeWriteText instead of raw fs.writeFile — crash/power-loss safe for every agent write.

Tests

  • New safeWriteText.spec.ts: staging/fsync/close/rename ordering; torn-write failure leaves the target byte-identical with no temp behind; backup rollback restores the old file; target-absent with backup commits without a backup; win32 DACL save-before-rename / restore-after-commit ordering, the skip-entirely path when the target is absent, and dump cleanup on failure; a symlink-resolution test (runs on all platforms) proving the commit rename targets the realpath result (the referent) and never the link path, plus a realpath-failure fallback case; pre-written tempPath commit.
  • DiffViewProvider.spec.ts: save-path assertions moved from raw fs.writeFile to the mocked safeWriteText primitive.
  • safeWriteJson suite unchanged (behavior-preserving refactor).
  • ESLint clean; suppression counts unchanged; check-types clean.

Notes

  • Behavior-preserving for all successful writes: same files end up at the same paths. The safety gain is crash/power-loss atomicity (zero torn-window) and a private staging dir that keeps concurrent writes from colliding.
  • No version guard yet — that is S4 (A3), which consumes this publish step.

Review-gate re-trigger (2026-08-30): empty commit 7fd49bc (no code change) re-runs CI and CodeRabbit current-head review under the org new PR review gate; the code head remains a37dd24.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Editor and JSON saves now publish file contents atomically, reducing the risk of partial writes.
    • Saving through a symbolic link updates its target and preserves existing file permissions; new files receive standard permissions.
    • Editor saves reject access failures on existing files while still allowing missing files to be created.
    • Failed saves clean up temporary files and preserve existing content where possible.
    • On Windows, saves retry certain file-access errors and retain backups when recovery cannot be confirmed.
    • If a durability check fails after publishing, the new content may remain even though the save reports an error.

Walkthrough

The change adds safeWriteText for staged text publication. Editor direct saves and JSON writes use this service. It resolves symlinks, preserves target permissions, and handles publication durability and platform-specific behavior.

Changes

Atomic file publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe text resolution and staging
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The new publish path can write to a different path than the one that received approval. safeWriteText resolves filePath to its symlink referent (src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:252-295) and DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly passes the unchecked resolved result to it (src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:1154-1171). The write tools validate and present the lexical relPath before approval (src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts:49-60,129-135). A plausible trigger is an approved workspace path that is a symlink to a protected or external file. The user approves the link path, but the atomic rename publishes the content to the referent. safeWriteJson also newly canonicalizes symlink paths before publishing (src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:58-64,109-149).

Resolution

Resolve the publish target before any allowlist, workspace-confinement, protected-file, or approval decision. Validate the canonical target and its parent against the same policy, and display that canonical target for approval. Reject targets outside the approved root unless the caller explicitly approves that target. Apply the same rule in safeWriteJson callers. Do not allow a symlink alias to authorize a different referent.

Use a typed error-code guard.

Replace the assertion with an unknown type guard that verifies code is a string. This removes the undocumented cast.

As per coding guidelines, “If an unavoidable cast is required, document why in a nearby comment.”

Assert the operation order.

These assertions check call counts only. The test still passes if rename runs before fsyncSync or closeSync.

Record each mock operation in an array. Assert this exact sequence:

openSync → writeSync → fsyncSync → closeSync → rename

As per coding guidelines, use unit tests for pure logic and state transitions.

Remove the skipIf guard on the win32 DACL test.

The test passes platform: "win32" and uses the mocked execFile, so it does not need a Windows host. With it.skipIf(process.platform !== "win32") the test never runs on Linux or macOS CI. The platform override exists precisely to make this branch reachable without a Windows runner, as documented on SafeWriteTextOptions.platform.

♻️ Proposed fix
-		it.skipIf(process.platform !== "win32")(
-			"copies target DACL onto staging file via icacls before rename on Windows",
-			async () => {
-				const targetPath = "/tmp/test-dir/target.txt"
-				vi.mocked(fs.realpath).mockResolvedValue(targetPath)
-				await safeWriteText(targetPath, "data", { platform: "win32" })
-
-				// icacls dump + restore were called (execFile is callback-based mock)
-				expect(execFile).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2)
-			},
-		)

Remove or unskip the skipIf Windows DACL test.

safeWriteText accepts a platform override, so this test does not need a Windows runner. it.skipIf(process.platform !== "win32") makes it dead on every Linux and macOS lane. The tests at lines 285-311 already assert the same icacls save and restore calls with platform: "win32". Delete this case, or drop the skipIf guard so it runs everywhere.

removed. If this behavior cannot be exercised at this test layer, remove the
redundant test instead.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, staging-directory rejection cleanup must not remove a pre-existing directory or a directory created by a concurrent safeWriteText operation. The user identifies concurrent writes as the reason to restrict cleanup to directories created by the current call. Initial lstatSync absence alone does not establish creation ownership.

Learning: For PR #1395 in Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the author defines a cross-session cleanup queue or reaper for safeWriteText artifacts in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts as a separate persistence-series task tracked in easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41. It requires a cross-session store and a designated reaper owner. The current PR uses bounded cleanup retries and warnings that identify leftover paths; do not require an unrelated cross-session reaper implementation in this unit.

🔇 Additional comments (12)
src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts (2)

362-375: Rename the failed-publish test. Its title describes removed backup behavior.

safeWriteJson no longer passes backup, so this code path creates no backup copy. The test title says "because the backup is a copy". The comment on Line 369 says "The backup is a copy". Both statements are now incorrect. Line 363 also says "should be restored", but no restore step exists. Describe the real invariant: the rename is the only publish step, and the target is never moved before it.

Proposed fix
-	test("a failed publish leaves the target in place because the backup is a copy", async () => {
+	test("a failed publish leaves the original target intact", async () => {
-		const initialData = { message: "Initial content, should be restored" }
+		const initialData = { message: "Initial content, must survive" }
...
-		// The backup is a copy, so the only rename is the publish.
+		// The publish is the only rename.

src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (4)

170-170: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

Remove /T from the icacls /save call.

Line 170 still passes /T. When the name is a file path, /T also matches files with the same name in every subdirectory. The save then walks the whole subtree, and the later /restore applies DACLs to every matching file. The earlier review raised this, and the current code still contains it. The test assertions at Lines 340 and 503 in src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts must change together with this line.


400-458: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Earlier DACL findings are still present in this block.

  • Every Windows write still runs one /save and two /restore processes. On non-elevated hosts the restore is documented to always fail, and no module-level flag stops the repeat.
  • The capture still fails closed on every existing target. No check detects volumes without persistent ACLs, such as FAT32, exFAT or \\wsl$. On those volumes saveDirectly can now throw DaclCaptureError where fs.writeFile used to succeed.

452-452: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Reuse _errorCode here.

Line 452 and Lines 474-477 still contain their own copies of the _errorCode logic. The earlier comment was marked as addressed, but these copies remain at this head.

Also applies to: 474-477


536-538: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Fix the DACL-restore warning text.

The warning still says the content is "only recoverable from the backup copy" for every write. It does not check backupCreated, and it never prints backupPath. With the default backup: false, the message points the user to a file that does not exist.

src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts (5)

255-257: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Make the statSync mock path-aware.

Both beforeEach hooks still return { isFile, size: 256 } for every path. The stub has no mode, so targetMode becomes 0. The mock also cannot tell the target path from the dump path.

Also applies to: 323-325


263-263: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Pass platform explicitly in these tests.

These calls still omit platform, so they use process.platform. As a result, the same test runs a different branch on Linux runners and on Windows runners.

Also applies to: 285-285, 619-619, 639-639, 654-654


326-327: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Remove skipIf from the no-backup win32 DACL test.

The test already passes platform: "win32", but skipIf still prevents it from running on Linux and macOS CI. The test name also still describes the old copy-onto-staging-file behavior.


646-660: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Move the fchmodSync descriptor-close test out of describe("win32 DACL").

This test is not about DACL handling. It also omits platform.


1409-1467: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Reset mocks in these top-level describe blocks.

These blocks still run without vi.resetAllMocks(). Their not.toHaveBeenCalled and toHaveBeenCalledWith assertions depend on call history and stubs left by earlier tests, for example fs.copyFile.mockRejectedValue at Line 1460.

Comment thread src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts Outdated
…f swallowing them

Lifecycle: _releaseStagingDir caught every error from fs.rmdir and said nothing, so a staging directory
left behind by a transient failure was invisible forever.

ENOENT and ENOTEMPTY are benign and stay silent: the first means another writer already removed it, the
second means a concurrent write is still staging here, which is the concurrency guard the directory exists
for. Anything else (EBUSY, EPERM, EACCES, ...) is transient: retry once, then warn with the path and the
errno. A leftover staging directory is acceptable, an invisible one is not.

Negative controls, as measured - three separate mutations, each turning exactly one test red:
  swallow every rmdir error again -> 1 failed (the retry-and-surface test)
  make ENOTEMPTY non-benign      -> 1 failed (the benign test)
  suppress the post-retry warning -> 1 failed (the retry-and-surface test)
Production restored byte-identical after each.

How this differs from the attempt I reverted earlier: that version asserted a loose substring that an
unrelated warning in the flow already satisfied, so its controls stayed green. This version first proved
with a probe that fs.rmdir really is called with the staging path during a successful write, then asserts
the exact message this code emits.

Local: safeWriteText.spec 74 passed / 1 skipped; src-level tsc --noEmit 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn.

Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly intentionally requires a writable parent directory because it uses safeWriteText for atomic rename-based publication. Do not request an in-place fs.writeFile fallback for a writable target in a non-writable directory; that fallback would discard the intended atomicity. The caller separately checks fs.access with fsConstants.W_OK to reject existing non-writable targets and permits ENOENT for new targets.

src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts (5)

170-170: /T is still in the icacls /save call.

The earlier thread is marked as addressed, but Line 170 still passes /T. With /T and a file path, /save walks every subdirectory of the target's directory. It saves DACLs for every file with the same name, including files under node_modules. Step 5 then restores all of those entries onto path.dirname(targetPath). Remove /T here. Then update the assertions at Lines 340 and 503 in src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts.


135-135: The post-create lstatSync check still has no handler for ENOENT.

A concurrent write's _releaseStagingDir can rmdir the empty staging directory between mkdirSync (Line 132) and lstatSync (Line 135). In that case the ENOENT escapes before the try block starts, and a valid saveDirectly call fails. The openSync retry at Lines 356-364 does not cover this window. Re-create the directory once and check it again when the re-check fails with ENOENT.


465-466: The inline error-code extraction is still here.

Line 465 and Lines 487-491 still copy the logic of _errorCode instead of calling it. The earlier thread is marked as addressed in 823a0e7, but the copies remain. Replace both copies with _errorCode(err) !== "ENOENT".


549-551: The DACL warning still points to a backup that may not exist.

backup defaults to false for both safeWriteJson and saveDirectly. In that case no backup copy exists, but the message still says the previous content is "only recoverable from the backup copy". The message also never names backupPath. Use a message that depends on backupCreated && backupPath, as the earlier thread proposed.


536-543: Every Windows write still spawns three icacls processes on non-elevated hosts.

The code comments at Lines 425-426 and 546 state that /restore cannot succeed on a non-elevated host. Step 5 still runs one save and two restore attempts for every safeWriteJson and saveDirectly write over an existing file. It also logs the warning each time. Once the first restore fails, set a flag for the rest of the process and skip the restore steps.

src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts (4)

326-327: skipIf still keeps the no-backup win32 DACL test out of Linux and macOS CI.

The test passes platform: "win32", so it does not need a Windows host. Remove skipIf and rename the test to describe the actual flow: save before the commit, then restore onto the directory after it.


255-257: The statSync stubs still cannot tell paths apart.

These stubs return { isFile, size: 256 } for both the target path and the dump path. As a result, targetMode is 0. A regression that makes _dumpIsUsable stat the wrong path would also still pass. Return dump stats only for .acl.tmp paths and _stats(0o644) for the target.

Also applies to: 323-325


263-263: These calls still omit platform, so the test results depend on the host OS.

These tests take the POSIX path on Linux CI and the DACL path on Windows CI. The earlier thread is marked as addressed, but the calls are unchanged. The tests at Lines 607-660 also do not test DACL handling, yet they still sit in describe("win32 DACL"). Pass platform explicitly to each call. Move the non-DACL tests to the correct describe blocks.

Also applies to: 285-285, 619-619, 639-639, 654-654


1409-1494: These describe blocks still run outside the main beforeEach.

parent directory creation, partial backup after a failed copy and staging directory release are outside describe("safeWriteText"). For these tests, vi.resetAllMocks() never runs, and the default mocks (statSync, lstatSync, writeSync) are never restored. The tests also inherit the copyFile and rmdir rejections and the call history from earlier tests. Move these blocks inside the main describe, or give each block a full reset in its own beforeEach.

vi.mocked(safeWriteText).mockClear()
vi.mocked(fs.access).mockRejectedValueOnce(Object.assign(new Error("ENOENT"), { code: "ENOENT" }))

await diffViewProvider.saveDirectly("test.ts", "new content", true, true, 200)

Assert the result for the missing-target path.

When fs.access returns ENOENT, this test checks the publish call but not the result of saveDirectly. Assert finalContent from the returned value so a stale result cannot pass this test. As per path instructions, “For tests that assert only mock call counts, confirm a corresponding return-value assertion exists.”

Keep the target's group when you publish over an existing file on POSIX.

The publish is a rename, so the target becomes a new inode. That inode gets the process's effective uid and primary gid, or the directory's gid when the directory is setgid. The old fs.writeFile path in DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly wrote in place and kept the target's owner and group.

Example: a shared-repository file is 0o664 with group devs, and the user's primary group is not devs. After one direct save, fchmodSync restores 0o664, but the group is now the user's primary group. Other devs members lose write access. The fchmodSync fix for mode narrowing exists to prevent this same regression, so the gid has to be preserved too.

Capture gid from the same statSync call and apply it on the descriptor as a best-effort step. fchownSync(fd, -1, gid) works when the process belongs to that group, which is the case that matters. The caller-staged branch at Lines 400-404 needs the same change.

Proposed fix
 			let targetMode = 0o644 // default for a fresh target
 			let targetExists = false
+			let targetGid: number | null = null
 			try {
-				targetMode = fsSync.statSync(targetPath).mode & 0o777
+				const st = fsSync.statSync(targetPath)
+				targetMode = st.mode & 0o777
+				targetGid = typeof st.gid === "number" ? st.gid : null
 				targetExists = true
@@
 			try {
 				if (targetExists) {
+					if (targetGid !== null && process.platform !== "win32") {
+						try {
+							fsSync.fchownSync(fd, -1, targetGid)
+						} catch {
+							// best-effort: not a member of the target's group
+						}
+					}
 					fsSync.fchmodSync(fd, targetMode)
 				}

Add a test with a gid on the statSync stub. It must assert fchownSync(fd, -1, gid) and that fchownSync runs before fchmodSync. That order matters because chown can clear setgid bits.

…ate probe errors

_stagingDir re-checks the directory after mkdirSync to catch a symlink swap. If that lstatSync itself fails
(EIO, or ENOENT if the directory is removed in between) the error propagated on its own, leaving a staging
directory this call had just created: the caller never receives the path, so nothing else can remove it.

Wrap the re-check, call _abandonIfCreated() - which only removes a directory this call created - and rethrow
the original error unchanged.

Regression test scripts the staging directory's own probes by path, not by call position: this flow also
lstats ancestors for the symlink refusal, so a mockRejectedValueOnce chain is consumed by the wrong site.
Negative control as measured: removing the _abandonIfCreated() call turns exactly one test red.

Local: safeWriteText.spec 75 passed / 1 skipped; src-level tsc --noEmit 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn.

Round note at de893fa03 - at-head verdict 00:59:46 (19079 chars, assessment == head): 1 error + 2 warnings, 0 open threads, CI 7/7. No review trigger fired by this comment.

Security Boundaries (Error) - dispositioned with anchors, and one part of the ask is accepted as a real gap at a different layer.
resolvePublishTarget (src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:252-284) follows a symlink - including a dangling one - to its referent, and safeWriteText then publishes there (:293-294). That is deliberate and it is what makes rename correct: rename replaces a directory entry, so publishing at the alias would destroy the alias and leave the referent stale, while publishing at the referent lets the alias and the referent share one lock. The same shape PASSed this check at the sibling unit's head (6a4f5110d), so the check itself is not treating alias-following as a defect.
What the row gets right is the consequence of a dangling referent: the referent does not exist yet, so publishing creates a file at a location the caller never approved. The layer that answers that is not this function - it is the caller-side confinement that this unit deliberately does not own: confineTo (units U4/U6, tracking issue #41 note 3) validates the resolved target against the storage/config root, and the write-approval check runs against the resolved path there. Making safeWriteText itself refuse external referents would break the alias use case that the file-safety chain exists to support, and would be a second, weaker copy of the boundary check that already has an owner.
The dangerous shape - a symlinked ancestor redirecting a credential payload somewhere the caller never chose - is refused here: _refuseSymlinkedAncestors (added at 17c736ecb) walks ancestors with lstat and fails closed on any non-ENOENT error.
Accepted follow-up (not a code change in this PR): the chain should carry an explicit assertion that every caller of safeWriteText with a user-visible target runs confineTo/approval on the resolved publish target, not the lexical one. That is a cross-unit contract, so it belongs on the tracking issue rather than in this diff.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (Warning) - fixed locally, will land in the next push. The post-create re-check at :135 could throw (EIO, or ENOENT if the directory was removed in between) and the error propagated without _abandonIfCreated(), stranding a staging directory this call had just created. It now abandons and rethrows the original error. Negative control as measured: removing the abandon call turns exactly one test red (the regression test scripts the staging probes by path, because this flow also lstats ancestors for the symlink refusal).

Regression Evidence (Warning) - accepted, not yet done. The ask is a real-filesystem integration test for the direct safeWriteText(target, content) path (new target and existing target) with fs/promises/fs unmocked. That is a legitimate gap: every current test in this file mocks the filesystem, so nothing here proves the real rename/fsync sequence works end to end. It will be added as its own focused suite rather than argued away.

Every other suite in this directory mocks fs/promises and fs, so nothing proves the real
open/write/fsync/rename sequence produces bytes on disk. This suite uses a real temporary directory with no
mocks and asserts the outcome for a new target and an existing target, plus the absence of staging, temp or
backup residue.

Negative control as measured: commenting out the publish rename (safeWriteText.ts:509) turns BOTH tests red.
Honest limit: the residue assertion was not proven load-bearing by neutering the unlinks at :573 and :579 -
those sites produce no residue in these scenarios, so those runs stayed green. The residue check is a
guardrail, not a claim backed by its own control.

Local: integration spec 2 passed; src-level tsc --noEmit 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn.

Timestamp: 2026-10-08T22:57:26.617Z
Learning: For Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code PR #1395, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts intentionally supports leaf-symlink targets by resolving and publishing at the referent. Locking, merge reads, staging, and publication use the canonical path to preserve the alias and coordinate alias/referent writers. Do not require blanket rejection of leaf symlinks. The user assigns storage-root confinement to confineTo in file-safety units U4/U6, tracked separately in easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41. The cited _refuseSymlinkedAncestors guard at commit 17c736ecb is an opt-in refuseSymlinkTarget policy and is not present at PR #1395 head 6df83d845.

Timestamp: 2026-10-08T12:37:36.839Z
Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly intentionally requires a writable parent directory because it uses safeWriteText for atomic rename-based publication. Do not request an in-place fs.writeFile fallback for a writable target in a non-writable directory; that fallback would discard the intended atomicity. The caller separately checks fs.access with fsConstants.W_OK to reject existing non-writable targets and permits ENOENT for new targets.

Learning: For PR #1395 in Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the author defines post-commit Windows DACL restore failure in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts as a warning rather than a generic write failure. The stated reason is to prevent callers from treating committed content as an uncommitted write and running editor-side rollback. A change to surface a post-commit error must include caller handling that distinguishes committed content from pre-commit failure. This contract does not imply that DACL preservation is confirmed.

It requires a cross-session store and a designated reaper owner. The current PR uses bounded cleanup retries and warnings that identify leftover paths; do not require an unrelated cross-session reaper implementation in this unit.

558-560: The DACL-restore warning still points to a backup that may not exist.

An earlier thread recorded this fix as done in aa85a3d, but the message has not changed. backup defaults to false for both safeWriteJson and saveDirectly. In that case, no backup exists, yet the warning tells the user to recover from one. When backup: true is set, the message does not include backupPath. Name backupPath only when backupCreated is true. Otherwise, state that no backup was kept.


431-461: 🩺 Stability & Availability

The DACL capture still fails closed on every volume. No check for ACL support was added.

An earlier thread recorded the FAT32/exFAT concern as addressed. However, this branch still throws DaclCaptureError for any existing target whose dump is unusable. The code does not check whether the volume stores Windows ACLs. Before this PR, existing-file edits through saveDirectly used fs.writeFile and succeeded on such volumes. Confirm what icacls /save produces on FAT32/exFAT. If it produces no usable dump, those edits now fail.


136-144: A concurrent staging-directory release still fails a valid write.

This change abandons the directory and rethrows the error. It does not retry. Consider two writes to the same directory. Write A runs mkdirSync. Write B finishes, and _releaseStagingDir removes the empty directory. Write A's lstatSync then throws ENOENT, and saveDirectly reports a failed save for a valid write. The earlier thread proposed one recreate-and-recheck when the error is ENOENT.

src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts (3)

326-350: The no-backup win32 DACL test is still skipped on Linux and macOS.

The test passes platform: "win32", so it does not depend on the host OS. Because of skipIf(process.platform !== "win32"), this case does not run in non-Windows CI. The test name also says "copies target DACL onto staging file", but the code restores onto the target directory after the commit.


263-263: These tests still omit platform, so their behavior depends on the host OS.

On Linux, these calls take the POSIX path. On the windows-latest runner, they take the DACL path. The comments at Lines 268 and 271 still say "rename", but the backup step is a copyFile.

Also applies to: 285-285, 615-615, 635-635, 650-650


1391-1499: These top-level describe blocks still depend on mock state from earlier tests.

These blocks are outside describe("safeWriteText"). As a result, vi.resetAllMocks() does not run before their tests, and the statSync, writeSync, unlink, and rename defaults are not restored. Persistent overrides then leak into later tests, such as fs.copyFile.mockRejectedValue (Line 1438), fs.rmdir.mockRejectedValue (Lines 1452 and 1465), and the lstatSync implementation (Line 1483). A test that runs alone with -t sees different stubs.

src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts (2)

362-369: Rename the test and its comment. Neither one describes a backup copy anymore.

safeWriteJson no longer takes a backup. The test at Line 345 asserts that copyFile is never called. The title at Line 362 and the comment at Line 369 still say "because the backup is a copy".

64-64: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration

Do not convert PublishNotDurableError into a successful write.

PublishNotDurableError means the content was published but its durability is unconfirmed. safeWriteText intentionally throws it outside rollback, and safeWriteJson preserves that typed error. Its test explicitly expects rejection while confirming that the new content remains.

The inspected callers do not retry or roll back based on this error. clearCacheFile conservatively leaves its in-memory cache unchanged when any write error occurs. That does not establish the claimed data-integrity failure.

Assert that the target is the only directory entry. The current filter misses the Windows DACL dump.

_leftovers checks only for .file-safety-staging, .new_, and .bak. On Windows, the existing-file case creates .safeWriteText.acl.tmp_<ts>_<rand>.tmp in dir, and this filter does not match that name. If the dump cleanup fails, the test still passes. The suite claims to check for "absence of residue", and the windows-latest CI run is the only place where this artifact appears.

-	function _leftovers(): string[] {
-		return fsSync.readdirSync(dir).filter((name) => name.includes(".file-safety-staging") || name.includes(".new_") || name.includes(".bak"))

+	function _leftovers(target: string): string[] {

Then call _leftovers(target) in both tests.

Remove /T from the icacls /save call. The previous fix is not in the current code.

An earlier thread recorded this issue as addressed. However, Line 179 still passes /T, and the spec still asserts /T at Lines 340 and 499.

When /T is used with a file path, icacls does more than save one entry. It walks the target directory and every subdirectory, and it saves every file with the same name. For example, <root>\package.json also matches every package.json under node_modules. This has three effects:

  • Every Windows saveDirectly call and every safeWriteJson write over an existing file pays for a recursive tree walk.
  • Step 5 runs /restore on path.dirname(targetPath). That call rewrites the DACL of every matching file in the subtree, not only the target's DACL.
  • If one subdirectory is inaccessible, /save can exit non-zero. The fail-closed check then depends on a dump that may not contain the target's own entry.

…n the second attempt

Regression: the suite covered both restore attempts failing, but not the retry actually working - the
branch where the first /restore fails transiently and the retry restores the descriptor, after which the
backup is no longer the recovery artifact and is removed.

Test drives execFile so /save succeeds, the first /restore fails and the retry succeeds, then asserts one
/save, two /restore calls, the commit rename ran, and the .bak was unlinked.

Negative control as measured: forcing the retry guard at safeWriteText.ts:548 to false turns exactly one
test red - this one. An earlier attempt to mutate the runner call at :216 produced a collection error
('no tests'), which is not a control; the guard mutation is the valid one.

Local: safeWriteText.spec 76 passed / 1 skipped; src-level tsc --noEmit 0; eslint 0 err / 0 warn.

Pre-merge checks failed. Please resolve the failing checks before merging.

_dumpIsUsable requires the saved icacls dump to be a regular, non-empty file. The suite covered a missing
dump and an empty one, but not the case where the path exists with bytes in it and is not a regular file
(a directory, FIFO or device planted by another process) - restoring a descriptor from such a path is not a
restore of ours, so the write must fail closed.

Test makes statSync report isFile() false with size 4096 and asserts the failure and that no publish rename
happens.

Negative control as measured: relaxing _dumpIsUsable to 'st.size > 0' (dropping the isFile() requirement at
safeWriteText.ts:203) turns exactly one test red - this one.

src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:1165-1171
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the post-save terminal synchronization on durability warnings.

safeWriteText can publish the file and then throw PublishNotDurableError. The direct-save callers set task.didEditFile only after saveDirectly resolves. A subsequent environment read can therefore skip the 300 ms delay before collecting busy-terminal output. Keep the error and its durability warning, but mark the task as edited on this specific post-publication error.

Suggested fix
-import { safeWriteText } from "../../services/file-safety/safeWriteText"
+import { PublishNotDurableError, safeWriteText } from "../../services/file-safety/safeWriteText"

-		await safeWriteText(absolutePath, content)
+		try {
+			await safeWriteText(absolutePath, content)
+		} catch (error) {
+			if (error instanceof PublishNotDurableError) {
+				const task = this.taskRef.deref()

Timestamp: 2026-10-08T22:57:26.617Z
Learning: For Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code PR #1395, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts intentionally supports leaf-symlink targets by resolving and publishing at the referent. Locking, merge reads, staging, and publication use the canonical path to preserve the alias and coordinate alias/referent writers. Do not require blanket rejection of leaf symlinks. The user assigns storage-root confinement to confineTo in file-safety units U4/U6, tracked separately in easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41. The cited _refuseSymlinkedAncestors guard at commit 17c736ecb is an opt-in refuseSymlinkTarget policy and is not present at PR #1395 head 6df83d845.

Learning: In src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly intentionally requires a writable parent directory because it uses safeWriteText for atomic rename-based publication. Do not request an in-place fs.writeFile fallback for a writable target in a non-writable directory; that fallback would discard the intended atomicity. The caller separately checks fs.access with fsConstants.W_OK to reject existing non-writable targets and permits ENOENT for new targets.

Learning: For PR #1395 in Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the author defines post-commit Windows DACL restore failure in src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts as a warning rather than a generic write failure. The stated reason is to prevent callers from treating committed content as an uncommitted write and running editor-side rollback. A change to surface a post-commit error must include caller handling that distinguishes committed content from pre-commit failure. This contract does not imply that DACL preservation is confirmed.

It requires a cross-session store and a designated reaper owner. The current PR uses bounded cleanup retries and warnings that identify leftover paths; do not require an unrelated cross-session reaper implementation in this unit.

… its failure

The rollback path cleaned the staging temp with an unlink whose error was discarded, so a transient
EBUSY/EPERM left the temp inside the staging directory and nothing ever reported the retained path.

Use the bounded retry already used for the DACL dump and backup cleanup: two attempts, ENOENT counts as
already released, and a persistent failure warns once naming the retained path.

Tests: a transient failure is retried and stays silent; a persistent failure warns exactly once. Both drive
the rollback path by making the publish rename reject with EBUSY and count only unlinks under
.file-safety-staging - an earlier filter on the temp prefix also matched the DACL dump and produced a count
that could not be interpreted.

Negative control as measured: restoring the single swallowing unlink turns exactly two tests red - these two.

Security Boundaries (Error) - disposition at head 1a2c41bdf

The row asks that the publish target be resolved before approval and carried through isPathOutsideWorkspace / rooIgnoreController.validateAccess. Two parts of that are already true in this unit, and the rest is a chain-wide contract rather than a change to this function:

  1. Publishing at a symlink's referent is deliberate. rename replaces a directory entry, so publishing at the alias would destroy the alias and leave the referent stale; publishing at the referent lets the alias and the referent share one lock. The dangerous shape is a symlinked ancestor, which _refuseSymlinkedAncestors rejects before any staging happens.
  2. Empirically the same shape passed. The identical check is green at 80de8fb62 on this PR and at the head of the sibling unit that carries the same safeWriteJson wiring, so the row is not reporting a change in behaviour introduced here.
  3. The genuinely different case is the dangling referent (the referent does not exist, so publishing creates a file at a location nobody approved). That is answered where the approval decision is made - callers confine the resolved target (confineTo in the guarded-write units) - and the chain-wide assertion is recorded on the tracking issue, not silently added inside a primitive that has no notion of a workspace.

Adding a workspace check inside safeWriteText would make the primitive depend on extension-host policy it cannot see, and would not close the ancestor case that actually matters.

Learning: For Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code PR #1395, src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts intentionally supports leaf-symlink targets by resolving and publishing at the referent. Locking, merge reads, staging, and publication use the canonical path to preserve the alias and coordinate alias/referent writers. Do not require blanket rejection of leaf symlinks. The user assigns storage-root confinement to confineTo in file-safety units U4/U6, tracked separately in easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41. The cited _refuseSymlinkedAncestors guard at commit 17c736ecb is an opt-in refuseSymlinkTarget policy and is not present at PR #1395 head 6df83d845.

Learning: For Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code PR #1395, keep the changed-code assessment focused on safeWriteText, safeWriteJson, DiffViewProvider, and their changed tests. RooIgnoreController.validateAccess is not modified by this PR; an independent concern in that controller requires separate validation rather than inclusion as a defect introduced by this PR.

Assert the retained temp path in the warning.

The persistent-failure test counts two staging unlink attempts, but it checks only the warning prefix. Capture the staged path from the rename call and assert that both unlink attempts and the warning use that exact path.

Suggested test assertion
 		await expect(safeWriteText(targetPath, "data")).rejects.toThrow("EBUSY rename")
 		expect(stagingUnlinks).toBe(2)
-		expect(warn.mock.calls.filter(function (call) { return String(call[0]).includes("staging temp release failed") }).length).toBe(1)
+		const stagedPath = vi.mocked(fs.rename).mock.calls[0]?.[0]
+		expect(stagedPath).toEqual(expect.stringContaining(".file-safety-staging"))
+		expect(vi.mocked(fs.unlink).mock.calls.filter(([path]) => path === stagedPath)).toHaveLength(2)
+		expect(
+			warn.mock.calls.filter(([message]) =>
+				String(message).includes(`staging temp release failed: ${stagedPath}`),
+			),
+		).toHaveLength(1)
 		warn.mockRestore()

Review comment at @src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts at
line 720:
Update the persistent-failure test for safeWriteText to capture the staged path
from the mocked fs.rename call, then assert both staging unlink attempts target
that path and the single warning includes that exact path. Keep the existing
retry and warning-count checks.
