feat(tools): publish apply_patch through the guard (U6, #1375) - #1915
This PR routes the apply_patch tool through the guard, so a patch hunk can no longer "write" a file the model never fully read: an unobserved overwrite and a stale version token are refused with the standard remediation. A move carries the source's completeness to its destination instead of claiming completeness for lines the model never read, and a partial-source move onto an already-observed destination is rejected before any state changes. It also fixes a resource leak: when the guard refuses a publish, saveDirectly now rolls back the parent directories it created.
It is the sixth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).
apply_patch publishes via guardedWrite, so an unobserved overwrite and a stale version token are rejected with the read-first / re-read-then-retry remediation instead of clobbering the file.
A move re-targets the source's observation onto the destination: the destination inherits the source's complete flag, so a slice, range, truncated, or indentation-block source never authorizes a full-file replacement at the new path.
A partial-source move onto a destination that was already observed completely is rejected before any file or registry state is touched.
saveDirectly captures the list createDirectoriesForFile returns and, if the guard rejects, removes those directories innermost-first with rmdir (which refuses a directory another writer populated, so the loop stops at the first failure) and rethrows the original write error.
Ancestor-identity pinning at publish: the confined write records the identities of the directories it created and re-checks them before the commit rename, refusing with AncestorReplacedError if an ancestor was swapped underneath it.
Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on main and carries its own copy of the earlier units' content, which the GitHub diff shows as context.
Review focus:src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, the guard wiring in src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, the rollback path in src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, and the specs named below.
Test Procedure
From the repository root, with dependencies installed:
Environment: Node 22+, Linux/macOS/Windows CI runners (the guard's platform-specific branches are exercised through the injected platform option, not a real Windows host).
Pre-Submission Checklist
Scope is one gate scope and matches the unit.
No .changeset or CHANGELOG changes (AGENTS.md).
src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged - no suppression count increased.
New code lints clean (--max-warnings=0) rather than relying on suppressions.
Tests added at the lowest layer that would have caught each finding.
Visual Snapshot item considered: not applicable (no rendered surface).
Visual Snapshots
Not applicable - no UI change.
Videos (interaction / animation only)
Not applicable.
Documentation Updates
None. No user-facing setting, command, or documented behavior string changes; the guard's remediation text is already introduced in earlier units. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).
mutation-diff is red on the changed-line budget only: the gate counts the GitHub diff, which carries the unlanded predecessors (1205 changed executable lines against the 500 cap; this unit's own delta is 105). The row clears when the predecessors land and this branch is rebased.
The directory-rollback test is a real pin: with the DiffViewProvider.ts change stashed it fails.
Local lanes at this head: integrations + core/tools + activate - 1340 passed / 17 skipped across 60 files; tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on the changed files with no suppression-count increase.
CI at this head: all required checks green; mutation-diff red on the budget-cap count described above (no surviving mutants in this unit's own lines).
Reviewer and maintainer questions are welcome as comments on this PR or on #1991.
Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
writeKind default StringLiteral ("update" -> ""): an empty kind
dispatches exactly like "update" inside guardedWrite - only "edit"
and "create" branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line is
not part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
saveTask operand of the adoption-probe guard (LogicalOperator): GuardRejectedError is only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reached
only after the !saveTask check above has already thrown. Whenever
the operand is evaluated saveTask is provably non-null, so dropping
the operand cannot change which branch is taken.
mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.
Committed gh device ID removed (.local/state/gh/device-id, gitignored,
swept in by an add -A during a refresh). No other .local/ strays on any
unit branch or main.
Changed-block as any cleanup in DiffViewProvider.spec.ts: bracket
access for private members + documented unknown-based structural casts for
VS Code doubles; suppression 310 -> 285.
Cleanup-safety-net test asserts content, not just count: the single console.error must carry [Original Error Caught] with the commit-failure
object as its second argument, and no call may carry the cleanup-error text.
Re-review responses (error-fix re-review wave)
ApplyPatchTool move, durability-error branch (Minor Functional): first
answered by completing the source unlink and reporting unlink failures as PartialMoveError - since SUPERSEDED by the crash-availability reversal
below; see the next section for the shipped semantics.
A follow-up review (Major Data-Integrity) reversed the previous round's
guidance for the same branch, and the new semantics shipped: when the
destination's commit rename landed but its directory entry is not known to
be durable (PostCommitDurabilityError), the source is KEPT and the
durability error propagates - unlinking it could leave NEITHER path
available after a crash. The duplicate is visible to the model and
recoverable; a file lost to the crash is neither, so crash availability
outranks not leaving the content at both paths. The try/catch is gone (the
error propagates naturally) and the durability test now asserts the source
unlink was NOT called; the unlink-failure test from the superseded round was
removed with its unreachable scenario. Negative control: restoring the
unlink reddens exactly the kept-source test.
Move deletion bound to the recorded observation (440dca4)
The Persistence Integrity row demanded the source deletion prove the
source is still the file the observation authorized. The move now
deletes under the shared advisory lock (withFileLock on the canonical
lock key): the source must still be present in the observation registry
and its recorded version must equal a fresh bigint stat of the source,
otherwise the move raises PartialMoveError before any unlink. A stat
failure is likewise a PartialMoveError - an unreadable source is not a
deletable source. Tests: the never-observed case now asserts no unlink
and no destination tracking; three new tests pin the changed-source
rejection, the vanished-source rejection, and that the deletion runs
under the source's lock key. 26/26 green; negative controls (faithful
mutants of each check) each redden exactly one test.
Durability note: on the durability-error path the source is kept
outright - PostCommitDurabilityError propagates before the deletion is
reached - the strongest form of the protected-deletion contract this
unit's issue asks for.
Security Boundaries disposition (warn-only DACL). The row asks for
the DaCl restore failure to fail closed. That change belongs to the
publish-primitive owner (PR 1916, fixed there in 3624e4f), which
merges before this unit in the declared order; this unit carries the
same carrier copy and reconciles at rebase (record 6106959976 on issue
1408; tracking 1991). Implementing it twice here would fork the fix.
Walkthrough carry-over evidence (04:34 walkthrough vs head 440dca4)
The 04:34 walkthrough still carries the Persistence Integrity and
Security Boundaries ERROR rows whose claims predate this head (pushed
2026-10-16T03:55Z). The PI row's raw-unlink line numbers belong to the
superseded head 993fc6f; at this head the deletion is lock-serialized
and observation-bound exactly as the Resolution demands (missing,
changed, vanished, or unobserved sources are kept; PartialMoveError
names the committed destination and remaining source; the durability
path keeps the source outright; tests and negative controls above). The
SB row re-flags the carrier copy's warn-only DACL restore, whose
fail-closed fix lands at the publish-primitive owner (PR 1916, 3624e4fea) that merges before this unit; copies reconcile at rebase
(record 6106959976 on issue 1408). Evidence comment posted on the pull
request; no code change this round.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
File writes now check that files have not changed since they were read, with safeguards for partial reads and concurrent edits.
File publishing uses staged writes, supports path confinement, and checks symbolic links and target changes.
Editor saves use the same file-change checks, and previews can be opened without writing them to disk.
Bug Fixes
Read results distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines.
Failed writes preserve their original errors and clean up temporary files where possible.
Failed moves are reported instead of being treated as successful.
Tasks now track file-version observations and read completeness. Patch, diff, and editor writes use guarded publication. Text and JSON writes use staged publication with target checks, locking, and cleanup.
Changes: Observed reads and guarded file publishing
Layer / File(s)
Summary
File observations and read completeness src/core/task/*, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, related tests
Tasks own an observation registry. Stable reads record file versions and classify completeness from truncation, clipping, read range, and UTF-8 decoding.
Guard checks and serialized publication src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, related tests
guardedWrite applies create, update, and edit checks, serializes writes by path, checks versions under locks, and refreshes observations after publication.
Patch and diff write paths src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, related tests
Apply tools record stable observations and select write kinds. Patch moves carry source completeness and report source-removal failures.
Guarded editor saves and teardown src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, related tests
Editor saves publish through guardedWrite. Preview observations, rejection cleanup, placeholder removal, scoped diff closure, and teardown are coordinated.
Text staging and commit src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, related tests
safeWriteText validates targets and staging paths, stages content, handles backups and platform metadata, and reports durability and cleanup outcomes.
Confined JSON publication src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, related tests
safeWriteJson checks confinement, locks resolved identities, and stages JSON through safeWriteText. Tests cover symlinks, locking, commit errors, and cleanup.

Possibly related issues
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2148 — Tracks descriptor-relative hardening for guardedWrite, which this pull request does not add.
Resolve the confined-write alias and locking gaps and the Windows backup exposure before merging. These paths can redirect writes, lose concurrent updates, or expose file content under specific filesystem conditions. Smaller read-remediation and test-isolation issues also remain.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 5a0dd
The change improves protection against stale and partial-file overwrites. However, replacing an existing file can weaken Windows access restrictions when permission restoration fails. Some move operations also retain their existing non-atomic behavior.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Existing-file direct tool writes now replace the file instead of updating it in place. On Windows, publication precedes DACL restoration, and failures saving or restoring the original DACL are swallowed. Where the replacement has broader permissions than the original, an approved content edit can therefore expose the file to additional readers or writers, temporarily or persistently. Successful restoration mitigates the persistent case but does not make access-control preservation a publication precondition.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The inspected exposure is host filesystem content published with the extension process's existing authority. The Windows concern affects individual rewritten files whose original DACL is more restrictive than the replacement's permissions; additional principals may gain read or write access without receiving elevated process privileges.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A legitimate approved write to a Windows file with a restrictive explicit DACL reaches replacement publication. If saving or restoring that DACL fails, the write still succeeds. A principal permitted by the replacement's broader permissions can then read or modify content previously restricted by the original DACL. The failure behavior is demonstrated by mocked tests; deployment-specific permission widening was not reproduced.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Observation authority is task-scoped and separates content completeness from filesystem version identity. The guard checks cancellation after queueing and under the lock, rejects stale versions, and retains partial completeness after targeted edits.
observed — Publication deliberately follows existing symlink referents and rejects dangling links. Move containment is lexical, while ignore matching resolves referents but allows outside-directory paths or errors. Tool writes already followed symlinks at the base, so this is not established as a new tool escape. JSON writes now follow referents instead of replacing links; production-path attacker control remains unresolved.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Rejected editor saves use discard-only recovery rather than writing the original preview back over newer disk content. Placeholder removal checks its captured version under the shared lock, and overlapping teardown operations are serialized. Successful publication clears an unchanged dirty buffer by reloading from disk rather than performing another unguarded save.
observed — Move destination publication and source deletion remain separate operations. Source deletion has no version check and its failure is logged rather than propagated; the non-focus move branch still uses raw destination writes. Comparison with the base confirms these lifecycle limitations predate the PR, so they are not retained as newly introduced concerns.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Make preservation of an existing Windows DACL a publication precondition: prepare and verify equivalent restrictions on the replacement before making it visible, and reject the write when preservation cannot be established.
proposed — Document the resolved-target authorization policy for tool and persistence writes, then test outside-workspace referents and referent changes. Treat source-version-protected move cleanup and consistent guarding across execution modes as follow-up work for the existing lifecycle gaps.

Explanation
Issue #2021 coding requirements are met. ApplyPatchTool sends create and edit publications through guardedWrite. The guarded path rejects unobserved existing targets and stale version tokens with remediation. Move publication carries source completeness and rejects a partial source onto an existing observed destination before publishing. saveDirectly uses reverse-order rmdir cleanup for directories created before a guard rejection and rethrows the original error. The reviewed code also includes observation-bound, lock-serialized source deletion and tests for the required guard, move, and rollback behavior.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed observation registry, read-scope tracking, guarded publish primitive, DiffViewProvider wiring, move cleanup, ancestor identity checks, and related tests support the guarded apply_patch objective in issue #2021. The larger carrier diff is consistent with the stated non-cumulative chain and includes prerequisite safety code. No concrete unrelated change is established. No files were excluded from review.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The changed path src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:872-887 bypasses the Windows DACL boundary. After fs.rename commits, a failed _restoreDaclWindows call only invokes warn() and returns success. guardedWrite awaits this function, so apply_patch can report a successful publish with unverified or broader inherited access rights. A plausible trigger is an existing secret file with a restrictive explicit DACL where icacls /save succeeds but /restore fails. The changed test at safeWriteText.spec.ts:728-756 explicitly accepts this result.
Resolution
Make post-commit DACL restoration fail closed. Do not return successful safeWriteText, guardedWrite, or ApplyPatchTool completion after restoration fails. If the rename must occur first, apply a restrictive fail-closed ACL to the replacement before returning and surface the restoration error. Add a regression test that verifies restore failure cannot leave a published file with broader unverified access.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The prior persistence defect remains. In safeWriteText.ts, _stagingDir(dirPath) runs at lines 605-606 and calls recursive mkdirSync, but _missingDirectoryTail(dirPath) runs later at lines 609-613. Therefore, for an absent nested parent, createdDirs is empty because staging setup already created the parent chain. A pre-commit rename failure then cleans only the temp file and staging directory at lines 925-943, leaving the empty parent directories. The mocked test at safeWriteText.spec.ts:1875-1886 does not model recursive mkdirSync, and the integration tests cover an existing target directory, not an absent nested parent.
Resolution
Record the missing parent chain before _stagingDir runs, or make staging setup return every directory it creates. Include that chain in pre-commit cleanup after removing the staging file and staging directory, in innermost-first order. Add a real-filesystem test for an absent nested parent with a forced pre-commit failure and assert that no directory created by the failed write remains.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The changed Task behavior lacks focused coverage at the lowest valid test layer. Task.ts now initializes a per-instance readonly observationRegistry with new ObservationRegistry(), but the reviewed diff does not modify src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts, and that file contains no observationRegistry assertion. The standalone observationRegistry.spec.ts tests registry behavior and instance independence, but they do not verify that real Task instances expose a registry or receive distinct registries.
Resolution
Add focused tests in src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts. Construct a real Task and assert task.observationRegistry is an ObservationRegistry. Construct two real Task instances and assert their observationRegistry references are distinct. Keep the standalone ObservationRegistry tests.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The lifecycle defect remains in the changed DiffViewProvider.revertChanges() path. runTeardown() clears teardownInFlight at src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:1108-1110, but revertChanges() restores preview tabs afterward at :972-974. If restorePreviewTabs() blocks in showTextDocument() at :1347-1351, a second cancellation or Task.disposeOnce() can enter revertChanges(), see the still-live relPath and activeDiffEditor, and start a second teardown. That repeats document revert and tab cleanup before the first caller finalizes the session. The changed tests cover waiting during document cleanup, but mock restorePreviewTabs() as already resolved and do not cover this interleaving. Task.disposeOnce() calls revertChanges() at src/core/task/Task.ts:3741-3743, so disposal provides a concrete trigger.
Resolution
Keep teardown ownership active through preview restoration and session finalization. Use one shared teardown/finalization promise or explicit owner state for the complete lifecycle. Make cancellation and disposal callers await that state, and clear the state only after document cleanup, preview restoration, and finalization complete. Add a test that blocks restorePreviewTabs() or showTextDocument() and invokes a second revertChanges() during that wait, then assert one document revert and one preview restoration.

Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, if destination publication during a move throws PostCommitDurabilityError, preserve the source and propagate the error. The destination rename has committed, but its directory entry is not known to be durable. Unlinking the source could leave neither path available after a crash. Do not attempt source unlink or convert this failure into PartialMoveError.

Confirmed — this is the same defect as the other three fsync threads, not four separate ones.
The rollback in the catch ran whenever backup mode had renamed target -> backup, including when the failure happened after the commit rename had already published. PostCommitDurabilityError tells the caller the content is at the target path, but the catch had already renamed the backup back over that target, so the error message and the file disagreed.
Fixed in the unit that owns the publish path, #1910, commit 58f803ddb: a committed flag is set immediately after the commit rename and the rollback is skipped once it is set, so only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup.
Regression test at the lowest layer that would have failed (commit rename succeeds, post-commit directory open fails, backup mode on): fails without the guard, passes with it. This unit carries the same copy of safeWriteText.ts, so it inherits the fix once #1910 merges first in the chain order U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9.
Partly valid, but outside this unit's scope. The else branch is pre-existing main behaviour: the guarded publish is gated by the PREVENT_FOCUS_DISRUPTION experiment by design, and this unit's stated scope is the guarded path. Routing the experiment-off path through guardedWrite is a behaviour change for users with the experiment off, so it is not a fix this unit can make on its own. Recorded as a follow-up on the tracking issue so the gap is not lost: with the experiment off, an apply_patch move writes the destination with plain fs.writeFile and no completeness check.

The enabled path now publishes through guardedWrite(..., "create", sourceComplete). The else branch at Line 506 still writes moveAbsolutePath with plain fs.writeFile, and it runs no partial-source check. A previous review reported this issue.

Learning: In Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code, the TypeScript tools src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts and src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts intentionally differ when an internal stable read finds a version newer than the prior observation. ApplyPatchTool records the current version as partial; ApplyDiffTool retains the older observation. In src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, partial observations reject full-file replacement but can authorize targeted edits, while older observations reject writes through the stale-version check. Do not infer that refreshing a token as partial grants full-file replacement authority, or require both tools to use the same prior-observation policy solely because their stat-bracketed reads look similar.
The symlinked-source case accepted any lock key ending in old.ts and only asserted what was NOT unlinked, so a move that failed before deletion also passed. It now makes resolvePublishTarget resolve to a distinct referent and asserts the advisory lock is taken on that referent while the unlink names only the source path.

… held during I/O
Review follow-ups: restore fs/lock mock implementations after each test; record the held advisory lock key in the withFileLock mock and assert it while stat/unlink run (source key for plain moves, referent key for symlinks). applyPatchTool.execute.spec 27 passed.
Mock isolation — added an afterEach that restores the realpath, lstat, readlink and withFileLock implementations, so the symlink test's referent mapping (and the lock recorder) cannot leak into a later test under shuffled order.
Lock-held-during-I/O assertions — the two move tests now install a withFileLock mock that records the held key and assert, inside the stat/unlink mocks, that the source (or symlink referent) key is held while the guarded deletion runs. Post-execution argument checks are kept; a statUnderLock flag additionally proves the guarded stat happened under the lock. Moving stat or unlink outside the lock callback would now fail the test.

…he default fs mocks
Review follow-up: record the held-lock state inside the unlink mocks and assert it after execute; afterEach restores stat/unlink defaults alongside realpath/lstat/readlink/lock. applyPatchTool.execute.spec 27 passed.
No throwing assertions inside mocks — both move tests now record whether the source/referent lock was held when unlink ran (unlinkHeldLock) and assert it after tool.execute returns, instead of throwing an expectation inside the mock (which surfaced as a handleError and obscured the real failure).
Default stat/unlink restored — the suite's afterEach now also restores the default stat (stable version token) and unlink implementations alongside realpath/lstat/readlink/withFileLock, so a test's mocks cannot leak into the guarded-write tests that follow.

Make the empty-scope premise check skip under a repo-local temp directory.
1146-1154: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
Make the empty-scope premise check skip under a repo-local temp directory.
The premise check fails when os.tmpdir() resolves under process.cwd(). It then fails before the confinement assertion runs. The failure is loud, but it has nothing to do with the implementation. This only happens when a developer or runner sets TMPDIR, TMP, or TEMP to a path inside the working tree.

Record mention reads as observations only when they are version-matched and complete.
Record mention reads as observations only when they are version-matched and complete.
A file sent through a /path mention reaches the model, but ObservationRegistry has no entry for it. A later apply_patch update to that existing file is rejected as unobserved and asks for a re-read. The rejection is recoverable, and no content is overwritten.
Record a mention read only when all of these hold:
Matching version tokens: Capture the version token before the read. Capture it again after the read. Record the observation only when the two tokens match. A token captured only after the read can pair newer disk state with older content, so the match confirms that the content belongs to that version.
Complete content: The text must not be truncated, must not have clipped lines, must not be a transformed binary extraction, and must not be a lossy decode. extractTextFromFileWithMetadata reports wasTruncated, but its result has no lossy-decode field. Binary extraction reports wasTruncated: false. The mention path cannot prove completeness from its current result.
Registry access:getFileOrFolderContentWithMetadata does not take the registry. The registry must be passed to it through its callers.
Until the result can report these conditions, leave mention reads unrecorded. This keeps the current recoverable rejection.

Keep mention reads unrecorded in ObservationRegistry unless the read can
establish matching version tokens captured before and after, and complete,

Pin the observed registry key to the resolved absolute path in both observation tests.
Pin the observed registry key to the resolved absolute path in both observation tests.
The first test in the observation registry block checks only toContain("existing.ts"), then calls reg.get(calledPath) with the same captured key. A relative key such as "existing.ts" passes both checks. Production code keys the registry by the absolute path from path.resolve(task.cwd, relPath), and guardedWrite looks up that same absolute key. A regression that observes relPath would therefore pass this test. The legacy-format test has the same substring-only check. Replacing both checks with an exact comparison closes the gap.

The test "two separate Task-owned registries are independent" builds two bare ObservationRegistry objects and never constructs a Task. Task creates one registry per instance at src/core/task/Task.ts:299, but no test checks that. A change that shares one registry across Task instances would leave this test passing.
Add a test after "does not cross-drain queues between separate tasks" in src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts. That file already builds two real Task instances with createProvider(), apiConfig, and startTask: false:
it("gives each Task its own observation registry",()=>{consttaskA=newTask({provider: createProvider(),apiConfiguration: apiConfig,task: "task A",startTask: false,})consttaskB=newTask({provider: createProvider(),apiConfiguration: apiConfig,task: "task B",startTask: false,})taskA.observationRegistry.observe("/shared.ts","v1")expect(taskA.observationRegistry.get("/shared.ts")?.version).toBe("v1")expect(taskB.observationRegistry.get("/shared.ts")).toBeUndefined()})

Rename the bare `ObservationRegistry` test to clarify that it checks standalone
registries, not Task-owned registries. Add a separate test using two real `Task`
instances and verify that observing a path in one leaves the other’s registry
empty.
The no-side-effect check misses one case. Its fs.mkdir filter, startsWith(missingScopeParent + path.sep), excludes a call that creates missingScopeParent itself. fs.access(target) cannot detect that call because target sits below scope. A regression that creates only missingScopeParent before rethrowing the ELOOP error still passes this test.

Keep the existing `fs.mkdir` call check unchanged.
The staging cleanup test replaces createWriteStream with a Writable double that has no file descriptor. The test therefore never runs cleanup while a real staging file is still open. Add a case that uses the real createWriteStream and makes the serializer fail on real input, such as a toJSON method that throws. Assert the rejection, then assert that no .file-safety-staging entries remain.
Do not wait for the file stream's close event in this test. On a serializer error, _streamDataToFile does not destroy fileWriteStream, so close may not be emitted. In the test teardown, destroy the stream and await its closure before cleanup assertions run.

…alias spelling of a confined write
Review follow-up for Zoo-Code-Org#1915 (threads 4447363355, 4447363373, 4447363393).
- safeWriteJson: after the locks are held, re-derive the lock key of the publish target the
confined write resolved under the lock. When it is not the file whose lock this call holds,
release and refuse (PublishTargetMovedError) instead of merging and committing under another
writer's lock.
- safeWriteJson: pin the lexical ancestor chain alongside the canonical one, so a confined write
to a missing target under a symlinked parent fails with AncestorReplacedError when that alias
is repointed before the commit.
- guardedWrite: name a remediation a clipped-line file can satisfy. A re-read shows the same
clipped line, so the rejection states that the file cannot be replaced in full and points at a
targeted edit of the visible text.
Two new cases in safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts, each negative-controlled (pin removed -> test
fails -> pin restored), and the partial-observation rejection assertion extended.
…-over-link target
Review follow-up for Zoo-Code-Org#1915 (thread 4447363410).
The backup step copies the target with fs.copyFile, which follows a symlink. For a publish-over-link
write that copy held the REFERENT's bytes inside the LINK's directory - rights the referent's own
DACL never granted, and the rollback path could rename that copy over the link, replacing the link
with a regular file of outside content. The entry this publish replaces is the link, so no content
backup is taken for it; a regular publish-over-link target keeps its durable backup.
Tests: "publishOverLink over a symbolic link takes no content backup of the referent" and
"publishOverLink over a regular file still takes the content backup" (safeWriteText.spec.ts).
Negative control: with the guard disabled the link test fails on a copyFile call. The trailing-lstat
count in safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts records this target-entry check.
… walked
The confined-ancestry pin measured the caller's path against realpath's spelling of the
scope root. When the scope root is reached through a link - which is what a Windows host's
temp or profile directory can be - path.relative against that canonical spelling climbs out
of the scope, _ancestorChainUnderScope collapses the chain to the root alone, and the alias
the write actually walked through is left unpinned: repointing it while the write holds its
locks moves the commit and every directory created on the way down while every recorded
identity still matches. That is how the confined-repoint test passed on this host and
published through the repointed alias on the Windows CI lane.
_lexicalScopeRootFor picks whichever spelling the lexical parent is genuinely under - the
caller's confineTo first, realpath's second - and the lexical chain is built from it.
The new test constructs that shape deterministically: a scope root named through a link, a
second link below it, repointed inside the merge callback. Without the fix it fails with the
same shape as CI (the write resolved instead of refusing). Both repoint tests now report a
swap that never landed before they report a missing refusal.
Verified on this host: misc group 2121 passed | 19 skipped, core group 4217 passed | 9
skipped, safeWriteJson pair 49 passed | 6 skipped, tsc --noEmit and eslint
--max-warnings=0 clean, negative control (lexicalRoot = scopeRoot) failed exactly the new
test.
…ling
The pin-shape test asserted expectedAncestorIdentities against an exact array of realpath
spellings. That encoded the host assumption the pin fix removed: where the scope root is
reached through a link, the pin legitimately carries four names for the same two directories
(realpath's spelling plus the caller's own), and the test failed on the Windows CI lane with
'expected [ ... (4) ] to deeply equal [ ... (2) ]' while passing on a host whose temp
directory is not a link.
Compare the directories the pinned names denote - realpath set equality - and require the
caller's spellings to be present, which is what _lexicalScopeRootFor guarantees.
The new test builds that host shape deterministically: a junction as the scope root with the
confined target below it. Negative control (lexicalRoot = scopeRoot) turned exactly two tests
red: this one, 'expected [ ... (2) ] to include <rootalias>', and the lockKey spec's repoint
test, 'the confined write published through the link named by the scope root instead of
refusing it'. Restored byte-identically and re-run green.
Verified here: misc group 2122 passed | 19 skipped, core group 4217 passed | 9 skipped,
safeWriteJson pair 50 passed | 6 skipped, tsc --noEmit exit 0, eslint --max-warnings=0 exit 0,
prettier --check clean.

This PR routes the
apply_patchtool through the guard, so a patch hunk can no longer "write" a file the model never fully read: an unobserved overwrite and a stale version token are refused with the standard remediation. A move carries the source's completeness to its destination instead of claiming completeness for lines the model never read, and a partial-source move onto an already-observed destination is rejected before any state changes. It also fixes a resource leak: when the guard refuses a publish,saveDirectlynow rolls back the parent directories it created.It is the sixth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991).

Description
What this PR changes:
apply_patchpublishes viaguardedWrite, so an unobserved overwrite and a stale version token are rejected with the read-first / re-read-then-retry remediation instead of clobbering the file.completeflag, so a slice, range, truncated, or indentation-block source never authorizes a full-file replacement at the new path.saveDirectlycaptures the listcreateDirectoriesForFilereturns and, if the guard rejects, removes those directories innermost-first withrmdir(which refuses a directory another writer populated, so the loop stops at the first failure) and rethrows the original write error.AncestorReplacedErrorif an ancestor was swapped underneath it.Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on
mainand carries its own copy of the earlier units' content, which the GitHub diff shows as context.Review focus:
src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, the guard wiring insrc/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, the rollback path insrc/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, and the specs named below.Test Procedure

Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)
Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:
"update"->""): an empty kinddispatches exactly like
"update"inside guardedWrite - only"edit"and
"create"branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line isnot part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
equivalent / out of scope.
GuardRejectedErroris only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reachedonly after the
!saveTaskcheck above has already thrown. Wheneverthe operand is evaluated
saveTaskis provably non-null, so droppingthe operand cannot change which branch is taken.

Re-review responses (error-fix re-review wave)
answered by completing the source unlink and reporting unlink failures as
PartialMoveError- since SUPERSEDED by the crash-availability reversalbelow; see the next section for the shipped semantics.
Crash-availability reversal (durability-error move)
A follow-up review (Major Data-Integrity) reversed the previous round's
guidance for the same branch, and the new semantics shipped: when the
destination's commit rename landed but its directory entry is not known to
be durable (
PostCommitDurabilityError), the source is KEPT and thedurability error propagates - unlinking it could leave NEITHER path
available after a crash. The duplicate is visible to the model and
recoverable; a file lost to the crash is neither, so crash availability
outranks not leaving the content at both paths. The try/catch is gone (the
error propagates naturally) and the durability test now asserts the source
unlink was NOT called; the unlink-failure test from the superseded round was
removed with its unreachable scenario. Negative control: restoring the
unlink reddens exactly the kept-source test.
Move deletion bound to the recorded observation (440dca4)
The Persistence Integrity row demanded the source deletion prove the
source is still the file the observation authorized. The move now
deletes under the shared advisory lock (
withFileLockon the canonicallock key): the source must still be present in the observation registry
and its recorded version must equal a fresh bigint stat of the source,
otherwise the move raises
PartialMoveErrorbefore any unlink. A statfailure is likewise a
PartialMoveError- an unreadable source is not adeletable source. Tests: the never-observed case now asserts no unlink
and no destination tracking; three new tests pin the changed-source
rejection, the vanished-source rejection, and that the deletion runs
under the source's lock key. 26/26 green; negative controls (faithful
mutants of each check) each redden exactly one test.
Durability note: on the durability-error path the source is kept
outright -
PostCommitDurabilityErrorpropagates before the deletion isreached - the strongest form of the protected-deletion contract this
unit's issue asks for.
Security Boundaries disposition (warn-only DACL). The row asks for
the DaCl restore failure to fail closed. That change belongs to the
publish-primitive owner (PR 1916, fixed there in 3624e4f), which
merges before this unit in the declared order; this unit carries the
same carrier copy and reconciles at rebase (record 6106959976 on issue
1408; tracking 1991). Implementing it twice here would fork the fix.
Walkthrough carry-over evidence (04:34 walkthrough vs head 440dca4)
The 04:34 walkthrough still carries the Persistence Integrity and
Security Boundaries ERROR rows whose claims predate this head (pushed
2026-10-16T03:55Z). The PI row's raw-unlink line numbers belong to the
superseded head
993fc6f; at this head the deletion is lock-serializedand observation-bound exactly as the Resolution demands (missing,
changed, vanished, or unobserved sources are kept;
PartialMoveErrornames the committed destination and remaining source; the durability
path keeps the source outright; tests and negative controls above). The
SB row re-flags the carrier copy's warn-only DACL restore, whose
fail-closed fix lands at the publish-primitive owner (PR 1916,
3624e4fea) that merges before this unit; copies reconcile at rebase(record 6106959976 on issue 1408). Evidence comment posted on the pull
request; no code change this round.
