[Fix] Completed task fails to resume after restart when a message write is interrupted - #2136
safeWriteJson replaced a file with two renames: it renamed the target to a backup, then renamed the replacement into place. A process exit between the two renames left the canonical path absent. Readers then saw a permanent ENOENT, and no exception rollback could run after process termination. This reproduced 5/5 with subprocess fault injection in the issue. It is the storage failure behind the restart-persistence CI failure in PR #2092.
Writer
The writer puts the new content in a temp file.
The writer renames the temp file over the target in one step. The committed target stays in place until the rename lands. An interrupted write can no longer remove the canonical path.
A recovery pass runs at the start of every write, under the advisory lock. If the canonical path is absent, it restores the newest .bak_*.tmp backup. It then removes leftover .new_*.tmp and .bak_*.tmp files.
The writer never deletes a backup it could not restore. If a restore or a rollback fails, the write stops and all backups stay on disk.
Optional write trace callbacks cannot throw into persistence. Completion tracing runs outside the rollback catch. A successful replacement is never rolled back for a diagnostic failure.
Readers
If the canonical file is missing, readers retry once. After the retry, they run the same recovery under the lock and read again. The first read of an existing file takes no lock.
ui_messages, API history, task history items, and ClineProvider.getTaskWithId use this path. getTaskWithId returned an empty API history before this change. The real-window restart E2E found this.
Only SyntaxError and ENOENT map to "no data" in the shared history readers. Reconciliation also treats ENOTDIR as an absent task record. Other read errors propagate.
Bulk state publication uses the store only when it is healthy. Otherwise, it uses legacy global-state history, which can contain stale entries. Disabling history still omits it. Successful provider initialization refreshes an open webview.
Deleting a task removes its backups under the same lock, so a deleted task cannot come back from a backup.
Startup
TaskHistoryStore.reconcile() now recovers a missing history_item.json before it treats the task as gone. Before this change, a task with an orphaned backup left the cache. Delegation repair then read "child not found" and cleared delegation links.
Forced startup and replay scans finish reading other tasks, then reject if any task was unreadable. Delegation repair cannot use that partial snapshot.
Background scans retain unreadable cached records and continue updating readable tasks. They log the first error and still evict records confirmed absent.
initialize() retries ELOCKED and EBUSY with delays of 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, and 8 seconds. Concurrent calls share one promise. dispose() cancels a pending retry.
initialized resolves after success or after terminal failure. isHealthy is true only after a full startup. Extension activation still continues after a terminal failure. Then history can stay incomplete until the next window start.
Observability and CI
saveTaskMessages emits trace points with the task ID and process ID. hasTaskUiMessageText traces the marker check. deactivate traces shutdown. Every failed recovery emits json-recovery-failed with the path and the error code. One sink in src/utils/persistenceTrace.ts serves all of these. The extension mirrors it into the output channel.
runTest.ts writes metadata for a failed restart scenario, then removes its temporary workspace. Entries classify backups, new temp files, and locks. Hashed directory IDs group entries without exposing task IDs. Trace entries contain only a validated stage, PID, and timestamp. Raw histories, logs, phase values, error text, and arbitrary filenames remain excluded. The workflow uploads only diagnostics.json, with seven-day retention.

docs/architecture/json-persistence-audit.md records the write contract, the callers, and the gaps below.
Decisions to check
A fresh lock left by a killed process (SIGKILL) makes writers and recovering readers fail with ELOCKED until the lock goes stale (31 seconds). Lock age cannot tell a dead process from a paused one. A test covers this, and the behavior is deliberate.
The recovery pass removes matching temp files while it holds the lock. This relies on the advisory-lock model of safeWriteJson.
The old fsync step is gone. The replacement protects against process termination. It does not protect against power loss.
Test Procedure
Deterministic fault injection:
pnpm json-replacement:model-check checks 87 production filesystem cutpoints with 522 crash and I/O fault cases. Each case gets isolated read, write, delete, and cold-start follow-ups. A four-worker pool preserves coverage and reduces serial runtime. JSON_REPLACEMENT_WORKERS accepts values from 1 to 8. Three negative controls must detect backup loss, resurrection after deletion, and reader overwrite.
safeWriteJson.interruption.test.ts starts a real Node child process with this repository's safeWriteJson. The child exits before the rename that targets the canonical path. The test then reads the file and requires the previous content. A recovery write must succeed and remove the leftovers. On the old code, the read fails with ENOENT 3/3.
A second variant uses SIGKILL, not process.exit. It checks that a fresh lock rejects a writer and a reader with ELOCKED. It checks that the backup stays. It ages the lock past 31 seconds and checks that recovery works.
Unit tests cover the single-rename commit, the EPERM fallback, a failed restore, a failed rollback, backups kept after a failure, delete without resurrection, reads that recover, and the trace sequences.
TaskHistoryStore.recovery.spec.ts and TaskHistoryStore.initialization.spec.ts cover startup: orphaned backups, failed restores, fresh and stale locks, retry delays, the cap, give-up, and disposal.
The restart-persistence E2E moves the UI and API histories to orphaned backups in a fresh extension host. It requires the public reads to restore the exact bytes. The E2E runs in real VS Code windows on Linux.
Results on the working tree:
The current focused persistence selection passes: 18 files, 499 tests. Five metadata-artifact tests and seven workflow-contract tests pass. Source types, changed-file lint, and formatting pass.
The compile job now runs pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-e2e test:restart-artifacts on pull requests. The filesystem-only privacy tests run independently of the extension-host E2E cache.
Earlier author runs reported passing types, lint, formatting, model checks, workspace tests, and restart E2E. Those results predate the crash-cutpoint checker.
The four-worker crash campaign takes about 45 seconds on the development machine (42 to 45 seconds measured), with all 87 cutpoints and 522 cases. Focused script types and formatting pass.
The project check, pnpm --dir src run check-types, passes. CI runs that check through Turbo.
The stricter root tsc --noEmit -p . still reports 468 diagnostics, matching main (3b3f6c780fb8b9ea452d277edfdf58d08284dfa5) with the same installed dependencies. The comparison normalizes paths and ignores source line numbers. The extra safeWriteJson diagnostic is fixed: recovery now checks the first backup before it reads the path. The root command is not CI's project type check.
The current full workspace run passes all 14 tasks (12 cached). Command: VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=2 pnpm test --concurrency=1 --env-mode=loose. The extension suite passes 11,341 tests, with 39 skipped.
The current restart E2E passes in real VS Code windows on Linux. An injected runner failure preserves a sanitized manifest with leftovers and traces from both extension hosts. The workflow upload glob matches the manifest locally. GitHub artifact upload and native Windows behavior remain unverified.

I saw no measurable change. The differences are smaller than the run-to-run noise. Each saved UI history emits three trace lines. This cost nothing visible with a silent sink or a stderr sink. I did not measure the output-channel sink. I did not measure Windows, slow disks, lock contention, or startup with thousands of tasks.
Known Limits and Follow-up
Bounded crash coverage. The checker enumerates crashes and faults at baseline call boundaries, including the preset EPERM/EIO rollback path. It does not explore concurrent actors or crash combinations with additional replay-injected faults beyond the fixed scenario failures. Recovery follow-ups run after leftover locks are aged. It does not prove power-loss durability or native Windows behavior.
Windows is not verified. The EPERM branch is fault-injected in unit and subprocess tests. No test ran on Windows. The fallback handles only EPERM. EBUSY or EACCES on Windows are not handled.
A paused or crashed peer can delay startup for up to the retry total. Then history stays partial until the next window start. The warning message and the manual retry action are not part of this PR.
Unresolved writers. These do not use the shared protocol: the McpHub read-modify-write, the SimpleInstaller direct writes, and the project MCP settings initialization in webviewMessageHandler.ts. The audit document lists them. They need their own issues.
Test order. Running ClineProvider.spec.ts with --sequence.shuffle fails 40 to 51 tests in groups this PR does not touch. I have not run the same seed on main, so I call these failures unclassified. A new recovery test in that file did depend on test order. I fixed it.
Not a crash fix. This PR does not stop the extension process from crashing. It keeps committed data readable after an interruption.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #2130 is the active direct linked issue. safeWriteJson now uses one rename for normal commits and keeps the two-step replacement for EPERM. Recovery restores the newest backup under the advisory lock and readers retry before recovery. TaskHistoryStore reconciliation and deletion use the same recovery and backup lifecycle. Subprocess interruption tests, transient and permanent absence tests, restart recovery checks, persistence traces, and sanitized failure artifacts cover the issue requirements. The PR documents the protocol and its validation limits.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed code stays within Issue #2130. Task-history startup, deletion, provider reads, and webview refresh changes preserve readable and non-resurrecting task data during recovery. Tracing, sanitized diagnostics, workflow checks, model checks, tests, and architecture documentation support persistence recovery or its validation. No changed area has a demonstrated unrelated purpose.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The prior backup-trust finding is addressed. In changed src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, recovery rejects symlinks and non-regular entries with lstat(), opens the backup with O_NOFOLLOW when available, compares pre-open, descriptor, and post-open device/inode identity, copies bytes from the validated descriptor to a new regular temporary file, and commits only that copy. safeWriteJson.recovery.test.ts covers symlinked, directory, swapped, and changing backups. The changed diagnostic path publishes metadata and hashes only, and the reviewed changes contain no concrete secret/PII leak, unsafe execution, or approval/allowlist bypass. Prior failure addressed: src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:74-119 now rejects symlink/non-regular backups and validates descriptor identity before copying; recovery tests cover symlinked, directory, and swapped backups.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
No changed persistence path meets the failure condition. safeWriteJson awaits temp-file streaming and commit renames; normal replacement uses one rename, while the EPERM fallback has awaited rollback and preserves backups when rollback fails (src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:343-432). Recovery runs under the file lock and readers await recovery before rereading (safeWriteJson.ts:228-246, readFileWithMissingRetry.ts:35-50). Task-history repair writes and recovery calls are also awaited, with explicit partial-failure handling.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
Regression evidence remains incomplete. The changed successful publication path in preserveScenarioWorkspace (apps/vscode-e2e/src/restart/scenarioWorkspace.ts:228-249) has no test that replaces an existing stale diagnostics.json; current tests cover replacement only when publication fails. The changed cleanup decision in apps/vscode-e2e/src/runTest.ts:233-245 has no caller-level test for failed preservation versus successful removal. API.hasTaskUiMessageText now emits match, no-match, and read-error trace events (src/extension/api.ts:356-375), but its focused tests assert only return values and reads. activate installs the persistence sink and deactivate emits shutdown (src/extension.ts:125-133,409-411), but the extension tests do not assert either integration. The generic trace tests do not exercise these callers.
Resolution
Add a focused successful stale-artifact replacement test for preserveScenarioWorkspace. Extract and test the runTest.ts cleanup decision so failed restart runs preserve diagnostics and successful runs remove the workspace. Extend the API tests to assert trace stage, taskId, result, and error detail for match, no-match, and read-error cases. Extend extension tests to assert dual-sink installation during activation and the shutdown trace during deactivation.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
The changed lifecycle path still retains a persistence trace sink after deactivation. activate() installs a module-level sink at src/extension.ts:132; the sink closes over the output channel through createOutputChannelLogger(). deactivate() emits shutdown at line 410 but never calls setPersistenceTraceSink(undefined). An in-flight or late saveTaskMessages() operation can therefore trace after disposal and invoke the retained output-channel callback. tracePersistenceEvent() swallows sink errors, so the stale callback can remain hidden. No extension test change covers this path.
Resolution
In deactivate(), call tracePersistenceEvent("shutdown") first, then call setPersistenceTraceSink(undefined) to release the output-channel sink. Add a lifecycle test that activates and deactivates the extension, emits a later persistence event, and verifies that the disposed output channel is not called or retained.

safeWriteJson replaced a file with two renames (target to backup, then
replacement to target). A process exit between the renames left the
canonical path absent, so readers saw a permanent ENOENT that no retry
could repair.
The replacement is now committed with a single atomic rename. Only a
Windows-style EPERM (target held open by a reader) falls back to the
two-step sequence, and a recovery pass under the advisory lock restores
the newest orphaned backup and removes leftover temp files before any
write. Task-message saves emit trace points with the task ID and
process ID, the marker check and shutdown are traced, and a failed
restart-persistence scenario now preserves phase results, VS Code logs,
and task files for CI artifact upload.

- Line 115: Update the artifact-copy flow before removeScenarioWorkspace so
absent optional directories are skipped but real fs.cp failures preserve the
failed source in test-failures. Ensure the fallback completes without preventing
removeScenarioWorkspace from cleaning up the temporary workspace.
Review comments at @src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts:
- Line 443: Update the error check using getErrorCode so ENOTDIR follows the
same absent-record fallback as ENOENT; continue rethrowing other errors.
- Around line 160-164: Keep initialization settled after reconciliation, but
gate bulk history publication on `TaskHistoryStore.isHealthy`; when unhealthy,
use the existing legacy `taskHistory` global-state fallback instead of
publishing the potentially empty or partial cache. Apply this in the webview
message path before filtering the history items, while preserving the
disabled-history behavior.
Review comments at @src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts:
- Around line 293-295: Update the rename-error catch in safeWriteJson to use
unknown instead of any, and use the existing getErrorCode helper to check for
EPERM. Preserve the current behavior of rethrowing other errors.
- Around line 160-164: Export the existing getErrorCode helper from
safeWriteJson.ts, then update readFileWithMissingRetry.ts to import and
re-export that helper from safeWriteJson and remove its duplicate definition.
Preserve existing callers of readFileWithMissingRetry.ts while keeping
safeWriteJson.ts as the shared helper’s source.

The root workspace declares esbuild, and Node resolves dependencies from the test directory through ancestor node_modules directories. The repository already uses the same root dependency from src/esbuild.mjs. Knip also explicitly ignores esbuild as an unlisted dependency.

requests; add it to an appropriate existing workflow or test job.
Review comments at @docs/architecture/task-lifecycle-model.md:
- Line 368: Update the coverage-exclusion sentence in the proof-limits section
to state that coverage omits cases combining a crash with a second injected
fault; do not imply that crashes during fault-induced rollback paths are
untested.
Review comments at @src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts:
- Line 443: Update the per-task scan in reconcile() so a non-absent read error
keeps the task ID in liveIds, records the first scan error, and continues
scanning; this prevents eviction of the unreadable task and lets other tasks be
processed. After the eviction loop, rethrow the recorded error only when
options.forceRefresh is set.

Clean the source workspace when diagnostics publication fails.
If fs.writeFile or fs.rename fails, execution skips removeScenarioWorkspace. The new tests confirm that this path retains the workspace, but their t.after hook does not establish cleanup in the runner. Confirm whether the current runTest.ts caller removes the workspace when preserveScenarioWorkspace rejects. If it does not, add cleanup there so a failed artifact write does not leave raw task data in the temporary directory. As per coding guidelines, “Every run uses isolated workspace, user-data, and extensions directories and must clean them up on success and failure.”

Closes: #2130
Description
safeWriteJsonreplaced a file with two renames: it renamed the target to a backup, then renamed the replacement into place. A process exit between the two renames left the canonical path absent. Readers then saw a permanentENOENT, and no exception rollback could run after process termination. This reproduced 5/5 with subprocess fault injection in the issue. It is the storage failure behind the restart-persistence CI failure in PR #2092.Writer
EPERM. The two-step replacement from [Fix] Restart-persistence E2E flakes when the final ui_messages.json write lands after VS Code quits #2080 stays as the fallback for that case only..bak_*.tmpbackup. It then removes leftover.new_*.tmpand.bak_*.tmpfiles.Readers
ui_messages, API history, task history items, andClineProvider.getTaskWithIduse this path.getTaskWithIdreturned an empty API history before this change. The real-window restart E2E found this.SyntaxErrorandENOENTmap to "no data" in the shared history readers. Reconciliation also treatsENOTDIRas an absent task record. Other read errors propagate.Startup
TaskHistoryStore.reconcile()now recovers a missinghistory_item.jsonbefore it treats the task as gone. Before this change, a task with an orphaned backup left the cache. Delegation repair then read "child not found" and cleared delegation links.initialize()retriesELOCKEDandEBUSYwith delays of 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, and 8 seconds. Concurrent calls share one promise.dispose()cancels a pending retry.initializedresolves after success or after terminal failure.isHealthyis true only after a full startup. Extension activation still continues after a terminal failure. Then history can stay incomplete until the next window start.Observability and CI

Every failed recovery emitsjson-recovery-failedwith the path and the error code. One sink insrc/utils/persistenceTrace.tsserves all of these. The extension mirrors it into the output channel.runTest.tswrites metadata for a failed restart scenario, then removes its temporary workspace. Entries classify backups, new temp files, and locks. Hashed directory IDs group entries without exposing task IDs. Trace entries contain only a validated stage, PID, and timestamp. Raw histories, logs, phase values, error text, and arbitrary filenames remain excluded. The workflow uploads onlydiagnostics.json, with seven-day retention.Docs
docs/architecture/json-persistence-audit.mdrecords the write contract, the callers, and the gaps below.Decisions to check
SIGKILL) makes writers and recovering readers fail withELOCKEDuntil the lock goes stale (31 seconds). Lock age cannot tell a dead process from a paused one. A test covers this, and the behavior is deliberate.safeWriteJson.fsyncstep is gone. The replacement protects against process termination. It does not protect against power loss.Test Procedure
Deterministic fault injection:
pnpm json-replacement:model-checkchecks 87 production filesystem cutpoints with 522 crash and I/O fault cases. Each case gets isolated read, write, delete, and cold-start follow-ups. A four-worker pool preserves coverage and reduces serial runtime.JSON_REPLACEMENT_WORKERSaccepts values from 1 to 8. Three negative controls must detect backup loss, resurrection after deletion, and reader overwrite.safeWriteJson.interruption.test.tsstarts a real Node child process with this repository'ssafeWriteJson. The child exits before the rename that targets the canonical path. The test then reads the file and requires the previous content. A recovery write must succeed and remove the leftovers. On the old code, the read fails withENOENT3/3.A second variant uses
SIGKILL, notprocess.exit. It checks that a fresh lock rejects a writer and a reader withELOCKED. It checks that the backup stays. It ages the lock past 31 seconds and checks that recovery works.Unit tests cover the single-rename commit, the
EPERMfallback, a failed restore, a failed rollback, backups kept after a failure, delete without resurrection, reads that recover, and the trace sequences.TaskHistoryStore.recovery.spec.tsandTaskHistoryStore.initialization.spec.tscover startup: orphaned backups, failed restores, fresh and stale locks, retry delays, the cap, give-up, and disposal.The restart-persistence E2E moves the UI and API histories to orphaned backups in a fresh extension host. It requires the public reads to restore the exact bytes. The E2E runs in real VS Code windows on Linux.
Results on the working tree:
pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-e2e test:restart-artifactson pull requests. The filesystem-only privacy tests run independently of the extension-host E2E cache.pnpm --dir src run check-types, passes. CI runs that check through Turbo.tsc --noEmit -p .still reports 468 diagnostics, matching main (3b3f6c780fb8b9ea452d277edfdf58d08284dfa5) with the same installed dependencies. The comparison normalizes paths and ignores source line numbers. The extrasafeWriteJsondiagnostic is fixed: recovery now checks the first backup before it reads the path. The root command is not CI's project type check.VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=2 pnpm test --concurrency=1 --env-mode=loose. The extension suite passes 11,341 tests, with 39 skipped.Performance
I compared the merge base with this branch on one machine (WSL2, overlay filesystem). Each run used the real
safeWriteJson. Each cell shows the range of the median times from two runs.I saw no measurable change. The differences are smaller than the run-to-run noise. Each saved UI history emits three trace lines. This cost nothing visible with a silent sink or a stderr sink. I did not measure the output-channel sink. I did not measure Windows, slow disks, lock contention, or startup with thousands of tasks.
Known Limits and Follow-up
Bounded crash coverage. The checker enumerates crashes and faults at baseline call boundaries, including the preset EPERM/EIO rollback path. It does not explore concurrent actors or crash combinations with additional replay-injected faults beyond the fixed scenario failures. Recovery follow-ups run after leftover locks are aged. It does not prove power-loss durability or native Windows behavior.
Windows is not verified. The
EPERMbranch is fault-injected in unit and subprocess tests. No test ran on Windows. The fallback handles onlyEPERM.EBUSYorEACCESon Windows are not handled.A paused or crashed peer can delay startup for up to the retry total. Then history stays partial until the next window start. The warning message and the manual retry action are not part of this PR.
Unresolved writers. These do not use the shared protocol: the McpHub read-modify-write, the
SimpleInstallerdirect writes, and the project MCP settings initialization inwebviewMessageHandler.ts. The audit document lists them. They need their own issues.Test order. Running
ClineProvider.spec.tswith--sequence.shufflefails 40 to 51 tests in groups this PR does not touch. I have not run the same seed onmain, so I call these failures unclassified. A new recovery test in that file did depend on test order. I fixed it.Not a crash fix. This PR does not stop the extension process from crashing. It keeps committed data readable after an interruption.
