fix(task-persistence): delete under the canonical lock key (U9, #1375)

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

Split unit U9 of #1833, under the plan on this issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is U6 (#1916) per the merge order.

Scope (one gate scope): the task-history delete path — it locks the same canonical key every other writer to the file uses, so an alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel.

Content source of record: kind: commit, base 7c291bb08 → head 6768ccfaf, replayed on the current main tip 9af61f87e so this branch carries nothing that main already has.

Budget (own delta, not the stacked view): 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines. Inside both caps.

Verification at this head: 14 passed; ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every file in the unit; Prettier clean; src/eslint-suppressions.json never increased.

The GitHub view also carries the unmerged base, so the numbers above are this unit's own delta.

Closes: #1375 (part 9 of 9 - the task-history delete path takes the same canonical lock key every other writer to the file uses). See the tracking issue for the unit map and merge order U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9. Split plan of record: easonLiangWorldedtech#41.

Description (how)

• TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany() resolves each task id's file through the same canonical key the write path uses, so an alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel, and takes the per-path file lock before unlinking.
• A failed delete is recorded per id and the batch continues: the ids that failed stay in the cache and the write-through is skipped when the whole batch failed, so the store never reports a deletion it did not perform.
• This unit also carries the ports required to keep the stacked units consistent: the approved outside-workspace identity binding in guardedWrite (approvedCanonicalTarget, captured before the approval, guard only compares), the workspace-root resolution fix (an unresolvable root is dropped from the allow-list instead of vetoing every write), and the failed-batch assertions rewritten to state the contract instead of comparing a live map with itself.

Test Procedure

1. pnpm --dir src test -- core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.lockKey.spec.ts - the delete-path contract: every id reported, entries and files kept when the batch failed, the canonical key used for the lock.
2. pnpm --dir src test -- core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/writeToFileTool.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/editTool.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/editFileTool.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/searchReplaceTool.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/applyPatchTool.partial.spec.ts core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.guardedWrite.spec.ts integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.spec.ts - 353 passed, 5 skipped.
3. Negative controls measured in this harness: identity comparison dropped -> 2 failed; baseline taken from the post-approval lookup with the caller capture dropped -> 1 failed; missing capture accepted -> 1 failed; failure path evicting the cache and mtime maps -> 3 failed. All restores byte-identical.
4. pnpm --dir src exec tsc --noEmit at the pre-existing 50-error baseline; pnpm --dir src exec eslint --max-warnings=0 clean on every touched file.

Pre-Submission Checklist

• Scope is one gate scope and matches the unit plan on VPS2 durable per-view state - independent-fix series (supersedes #34 + the 21-item upstream draft series) easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#41.
• No .changeset or CHANGELOG changes (AGENTS.md).
• src/eslint-suppressions.json byte-identical - 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.
• Every ported test re-measured in this unit's harness, with a negative control.

Documentation Updates

No user-facing documentation change: the delete path's locking is internal, there is no new setting or surface, and no model-facing text changed. No .changeset and no CHANGELOG edit (AGENTS.md).

Additional Notes

• taskFileMtimes is populated only by the reconcile path (TaskHistoryStore.ts:433), so an un-reconciled store legitimately has an empty map there; the failed-batch test seeds it before asserting presence, otherwise the assertion tests a state the store never reaches.
• The mutation gate could not be pre-flighted locally on Windows (scripts/stryker-diff.mjs spawns extensionless .bin shims that spawnSync cannot execute); the script was left untouched and the delta is far below the changed-line cap.
• Stacked on U6 (feat(editor): route the diff-view save through the guard (U8, #1375) #1916); merge order for the series is U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • File reads now report clipped lines separately from omitted lines.
  • File edits and writes check whether files have changed since they were read, helping prevent unintended overwrites. Partial reads are handled conservatively.
  • File updates are published atomically while preserving existing permissions.
  • JSON writes can be restricted to a specified directory.

• Bug Fixes

  • Writes through symlink aliases use consistent locking and update the resolved file.
  • Failed task-history deletions are reported without removing affected items; batch deletion continues for other items, and successful deletions still clean up related files.
  • Rejected file edits no longer leave unintended changes in the editor buffer.

Walkthrough

The PR adds task-scoped file observations and guarded writes that compare observed versions before publication. File tools and diff saves use these guards. Text and JSON writes use resolved targets and atomic publishing. Task-history deletion reports failed removals and continues cleanup for successful deletions.

Changes

Observed file versions and guarded writes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record observations and read completeness src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, related tests	Tasks now track observed file versions and completeness. Stable reads record observations. Read results report clipped lines and distinguish complete content from partial, truncated, or lossily decoded content.
Guard file-tool and diff-view publication src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/EditTool.ts, src/core/tools/SearchReplaceTool.ts, src/core/tools/WriteToFileTool.ts, src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts, related tests	Guarded writes serialize by path, check observed versions, and enforce completeness and workspace rules. File tools pass create or edit kinds. DiffViewProvider publishes through the guard and serializes cleanup.

Atomic text and JSON publishing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stage and commit text or byte content src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/*	safeWriteText resolves publish targets, validates staging paths, preserves target modes, and performs backup-aware atomic publication with durability handling.
Confine and publish JSON at resolved targets src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*	safeWriteJson adds optional path confinement and uses resolved targets for locking, merge reads, and publication. It delegates backup and commit handling to safeWriteText.

Task-history deletion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Report failed task-history removals src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/index.ts, src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts, related tests	Task-history deletion retains items when file removal fails and reports failed IDs. Batch deletion continues across IDs. ClineProvider cleans artifacts for successfully deleted tasks and updates state.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a383e

Guarded writes now protect most file tools. However, with the default diff-view mode, a patch that moves a file can still silently overwrite an existing destination file the model never read. Route that branch through the guarded publish before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e787e

Version checks and canonical locking improve write safety, but atomic replacement can weaken existing Windows file permissions. Permissions are restored only after publication, and restoration failures are ignored. In directories accessible to other accounts, a previously restricted file could become readable or writable by those accounts.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: New atomic text publication does not preserve Windows access restrictions throughout the transition. The replacement file is renamed into place before the original DACL is restored. Failed DACL capture skips restoration, and failed restoration is swallowed. If staging inherits broader permissions than the original target, other local or shared-directory principals can gain read or write access during this window; interruption or restoration failure can leave that exposure persistent despite a successful return. The merge-base direct-save path wrote the existing file without replacing its security descriptor.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The permission-drift concern reaches existing Windows files published through the shared text primitive, including approved direct tool edits. Its independently attackable scope is the affected files accessible to another principal under the replacement DACL; no remote, cross-tenant, or privilege-escalation reachability was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — For a target whose explicit DACL is narrower than its directory's inherited permissions, replacement can expose content before restoration. A principal newly permitted by that DACL can read or modify the file without controlling the tool request. Failed restoration can leave the broader access in place; the tests explicitly expect publication to succeed despite capture or restoration failure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The owning task's observation registry supplies publication authority. The guard rejects absent edit authority, checks cancellation before publication, and compares versions under a canonical advisory lock. Its documented atomicity guarantee applies to writers participating in that lock protocol, not arbitrary external filesystem writers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Without a prior task observation, ApplyDiff can derive content from one read while the preview records a newer token. The guard can then accept earlier-derived content against that newer token. Existing observations prevent this substitution, and unobserved direct edits reject. The same inter-read overwrite exposure existed in the merge-base unguarded save flow, so it is a remaining limitation rather than an introduced concern.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make Windows permission preservation a pre-commit requirement: restrict staging before writing sensitive bytes, apply and verify the intended DACL before publication, and abort without replacing the original when that guarantee cannot be established.
• proposed — Bind edit publication to the stat-matched read used to derive its content, rather than permitting a later preview read to supply that identity.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts checks containment or the approved canonical identity in verifyTarget at lines 525-543, but then createIfAbsent and replaceIfVersion call safeWriteText(absolutePath, ...) at lines 204-205 and 284-285. safeWriteText resolves that caller path again at src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:265-270 and follows symlinks before mkdir and rename. If a workspace symlink or ancestor changes after verifyTarget returns, the publish can resolve to an outside path. The same race can redirect an approved outside-workspace write to a different identity. The advisory lock does not stop an actor that swaps the symlink without taking that lock. This changed path therefore bypasses the workspace allowlist or the approval identity.

Resolution

Bind the checked canonical target to the publish operation. Pass the canonical target resolved under the publish lock into safeWriteText, and do not resolve the original alias again. For missing targets, canonicalize and protect the parent path as part of the same publish operation; use directory-handle or equivalent no-follow filesystem operations where needed so a symlink swap cannot redirect mkdir or rename. Apply this to both approved and ordinary writes. Add regression tests that swap a target or ancestor symlink after the under-lock check and verify that the write is rejected and no outside or unapproved file changes.

---

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

TaskHistoryStore.removeTaskFile can evict persisted state without deleting the named file. It treats any ENOENT from the whole lock-and-unlink operation as successful at TaskHistoryStore.ts:367-376. For a dangling history-file symlink whose referent is under a missing parent, resolveLockKey returns that missing referent path (safeWriteText.ts:241-254), and withFileLock fails with ENOENT before it invokes fs.unlink. delete() and deleteMany() then remove the cache and perform write-through even though the symlink remains. Reconciliation can later rediscover the item, contradicting the reported deletion.

Resolution

Handle lock-key resolution and lock-acquisition failures separately from unlink failures. Only treat ENOENT returned by fs.unlink(filePath) as a completed deletion. Preserve the cache and report TaskHistoryDeleteError when lock acquisition or canonical-key resolution fails, including ENOENT. Add a test for a dangling alias whose referent parent does not exist, and assert that the alias, cache entry, and write-through state remain unchanged.

---

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

DiffViewProvider.saveChanges can duplicate teardown after cancellation. On a GuardRejectedError, the new catch path awaits adoptAlreadyPublishedContent (lines 616-628), which performs asynchronous stats and a file read before it enters runTeardown. If Task.disposeOnce() calls revertChanges() during that await, revertChanges() can complete its teardown and reset() (lines 941-1005). When adoption then returns false, saveChanges still enters a new discard runTeardown (lines 632-708); it does not re-check the completed teardown state in this error path. This can close the provider's diff and restore preview tabs a second time after cancellation, and can operate on state that reset() already cleared.

Resolution

Make the autosave-adoption wait part of the same teardown/cancellation gate, or re-check a session-generation/cancellation marker after adoptAlreadyPublishedContent before starting discard cleanup. If cancellation already completed teardown, skip the second cleanup and rethrow the original guard error. Keep reset and preview restoration in one idempotent teardown owner.

Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, staging/target identity comparisons must use `{ bigint: true }` filesystem stats for device and inode identifiers. NTFS/ReFS identifiers can exceed Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; number rounding can falsely reject a valid staging file or fail to detect staging/target aliasing.

Learning: In src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, taskFileMtimes is populated by reconciliation for external-change detection, not by upsert(). In src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts, an unreconciled store can legitimately have an empty taskFileMtimes map. Tests for failed-deletion preservation must seed mtime entries or capture pre-deletion values rather than assume that upsert() creates entries.

Fixed in 83a30b4. The Security row pointed at the approved outside-workspace branch of guardedWrite (guardedWrite.ts:480-510 at the previous head): the identity re-check seeded its own baseline with if (authorizedTarget === undefined) authorizedTarget = resolved, and every lookup the guard performs runs AFTER the approval. A name repointed between the approval and the publish was therefore captured as the baseline, and the write was published to whatever the name pointed at by then - a different file from the one the user approved.

How it is bound now

• GuardedWriteOptions.approvedCanonicalTarget carries the canonical identity of the target. For an approved outside-workspace write it is required: a missing capture is refused (The approved target was not captured before approval...) rather than falling back to a lookup the guard performs itself.
• canonicalizeForApproval() is exported (it is the existing realpathNearest, no new resolution logic) so the tool layer can capture the identity.
• verifyTarget() only compares: authorizedTarget is seeded exclusively from the caller's value.
• Capture points: the five write tools (WriteToFileTool, EditTool, EditFileTool, SearchReplaceTool, ApplyPatchTool) capture right after classifying the path and BEFORE askApproval - 7 capture sites, threaded at 12 save sites. DiffViewProvider.saveChanges/saveDirectly carry one extra parameter into the guardedWrite options. ApplyPatchTool's move destination binds its identity at classification time, which is where the patch-level approval for that destination is decided.

Tests and negative controls (measured in this harness, identical in both units)

• New: a name repointed at a link before the guard ran is refused (every lookup sees the swapped identity, so any lookup-derived baseline would accept it); an approved write with no captured identity is refused.
• NC1 identity comparison dropped -> 2 failed. NC2 baseline taken from the post-approval lookup with the caller capture dropped -> 1 failed. NC3 missing capture accepted -> 1 failed. Restores byte-identical.
• Note on NC2: adding authorizedTarget ??= resolved alone left all 64 tests green - an equivalent mutant, because the caller already seeds the value. A negative control has to remove the side that makes the fix necessary.
• Baselines: 353 passed / 5 skipped across the nine affected specs; tsc at its pre-existing 50-error baseline; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean with src/eslint-suppressions.json untouched.

Mutation gate, stated separately from the quality question

• The delta is small: the gate measured extension (53 lines) changed executable lines, far below the 500 cap.
• The local preflight could not complete on Windows: scripts/stryker-diff.mjs spawns <root>/node_modules/.bin/vitest (:349, :364) and .bin/stryker (:412), and spawnSync cannot execute those extensionless shims on Windows (ENOENT). The same shim layout exists in a full main-checkout install, so this is a tooling limitation, not a missing dependency, and not a quality gap in this change. The script was deliberately left untouched.
• The mutation-diff check was already completed/failure on the previous head of this PR, so it is not introduced by these commits.

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

Fixed in ac7fca4. The Lifecycle / resource-cleanup row was right: runTeardown() released its guard as soon as the CLEANUP CALLBACK settled, while the owner of that pass still had finalization steps left - the preview-tab restore, and reset() in revertChanges(). A cancellation landing in that window saw no teardown in flight and started a second pass: the document was reverted again, the same tabs were closed again, and the tabs were restored and the provider reset twice.

How it is fixed

• runTeardown(cleanup, finalize?) now installs a gate promise as teardownInFlight (not the cleanup promise), awaits cleanup() and then finalize?(), and only then clears the guard and releases the gate. A caller that lands at any point in the pass waits for the whole pass instead of joining only its first half.
• The two call sites that had post-callback steps - the saveChanges() error path and revertChanges() - pass their tail into that new argument. The post-publish cleanup site already kept every step inside its callback and was left unchanged.
• Scope stayed at the three places involved: runTeardown, the two call sites, one new test. No other cleanup behaviour was touched.

Test, written before the fix

• revertChanges() holds the teardown through its finalization steps, not just the cleanup callback: the finalization is held on a gate, and the test polls until the owner is INSIDE the finalization (the restore has been called and is awaiting the gate) before firing a second revertChanges(). It asserts applyEdit, closeAllDiffViews, restorePreviewTabs and reset each ran exactly once.
• Run against the unfixed code first: it failed with applyEdit called 2 times, so the defect is on the record rather than inferred from reading the code.

Negative controls (measured in this harness, identical in both units)

• NC-A: release the guard as soon as the cleanup callback settles (the previous shape) -> 1 failed, applyEdit 2 times.
• NC-B: do not await the finalization inside the guard (void finalize()) -> 1 failed, applyEdit 2 times.
• Restores byte-identical.
• Baselines after the sweep: 354 passed / 5 skipped across the nine affected specs (144 in DiffViewProvider.spec alone); tsc at its pre-existing 50-error baseline; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean on both touched files; src/eslint-suppressions.json untouched.

No inline thread existed for this row (the previous head's threads went away with its review), so the write-up is here.

src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts:536-540
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The default move path bypasses the guard and can overwrite an existing destination without a read.

This PR guards the move destination only when preventFocusDisruption is enabled (Lines 478-534). In that mode, a partial source onto an existing destination is rejected, and an unobserved existing destination is refused by createIfAbsent. When the experiment is off, the same move goes through fs.mkdir + fs.writeFile(moveAbsolutePath, newContent, "utf8"). That path has:

• no observation check,
• no version compare-and-swap,
• no containment re-check,
• no advisory lock.

Trigger: *** Update File: a.ts / *** Move to: b.ts where b.ts already exists and the model never read it. The current contents of b.ts are replaced without a check. The source is then unlinked. The PR objective is guarded publication for file tools. This branch still allows the unguarded write the focus-disruption branch now rejects.

Route both modes through the same guarded publish. Move the completeness carry and destination-existence check (Lines 485-522) above the if, then call saveDirectly(change.movePath, newContent, false, diagnosticsEnabled, writeDelayMs, "create", sourceComplete, false, moveCanonicalTarget), or call guardedWrite directly, in both branches.

📓 Common learnings

Learnt from: easonLiangWorldedtech
URL: https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/pull/1917

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T05:14:12.096Z
Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, Windows DACL preservation uses a documented fallback that permits publication when `icacls /save` fails or the DACL check through `fs.access` fails with an error other than `ENOENT`. These failures must be reported through the `onWarning` sink, not silently ignored. The fallback does not require aborting the write.

Learnt from: easonLiangWorldedtech
URL: https://github.com/Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code/pull/1917

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T04:50:26.128Z
Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, staging/target identity comparisons must use `{ bigint: true }` filesystem stats for device and inode identifiers. NTFS/ReFS identifiers can exceed Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; number rounding can falsely reject a valid staging file or fail to detect staging/target aliasing.

Learnt from: easonLiangWorldedtech
Repo: Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code PR: 1917
File: src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:76-97
Timestamp: 2026-10-07T09:38:39.308Z
Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

The ENOENT premise is contradicted. canonicalDirKey catches ENOENT from every fs.realpath call, walks to an existing ancestor, or returns a literal key at the filesystem root. resolveLockKey also catches the initial resolution failure and catches fs.readlink failures. Therefore, an ENOENT from lock-key resolution does not reach removeTaskFile's catch block. The proposed change is not needed.

Disposition of the three pre-merge rows at head f9570d277 (1 error, 2 warnings).

Regression Evidence - warning: fixed in 76a56cd (on this branch, not yet pushed)

ObservationRegistry.forget() had no coverage. Added three cases: the removal and its boolean result, the absent path (returns false and changes nothing), and that the other entries survive - which is the whole reason forget() exists instead of clear().

Also added the construction-level check: two Tasks built the same way own different registry instances, and an observation recorded in one is invisible to the other. A shared registry would let a parent's read authorize a subtask's write, and one task's clear() would revoke the other's authorization.

Negative controls measured in this harness: forget() reporting without removing -> 2 failed (the removal case and the other-entries case); one registry shared by every Task -> 1 failed (the ownership case). Restores byte-identical. Baseline 29 passed across the two specs; tsc at its pre-existing 50-error baseline; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean; src/eslint-suppressions.json untouched.

Lifecycle / resource cleanup - warning: accepted, the fix is in progress and will not be claimed before it is measured

The row is right about the shape: runTeardown() resolves the tracked promise unconditionally in its finally, so when the owner's cleanup or finalization throws, a concurrent waiter still sees a completed teardown and can leave the diff session half-torn-down. The fix has to make the owner's failure observable to the waiter (propagate it, or record the owner's outcome and have the waiter run its own recovery), while restorePreviewTabs() and reset() still run.

Stated up front so the next note is not overclaimed: the previous round on this same function taught us that a negative control which cannot observe the behaviour is not evidence. The assertion for this one has to be owner fails -> the waiter sees the failure / runs its recovery, not merely whether a promise resolved. If the mutant does not turn that assertion red, the change will be reported as hygiene rather than as a fix.

Security Boundaries - error: real, and deliberately not patched in this unit (same disposition as #1916)

Same identity-binding / TOCTOU family as the row on #1916: the guard compares a token computed from a name and then publishes through that same mutable name, so a parent or target repointed by a symlink between validation and the commit rename can move the write elsewhere. The requested shape (descriptor-based, no-follow resolution, pinning the target between validation and rename) touches the publish path.

That path is not this unit's to fork. Verifiable reason: guardedWrite.ts currently has the same blob on U8 (#1916) and U6 (#1915) - 13d870308 - and a different one on U7 (#1918) and U9 (this PR) - 7caa64fb3 (evidence on easonLiangWorldedtech#41, note 6072492585). Patching the publish path here would leave the other units' diffs for that file landing on a base they were not computed against, in the declared order U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9.

The defect is recorded rather than dismissed: Follow-up 8 on easonLiangWorldedtech#41 (6074458262) against the unit that owns the publish path (safeWriteText is U6's file, the target-identity work is U7's). Nothing in this PR widens the window: the lock key is resolved once per operation, so an alias and its referent already share one lock.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup - warning: ported in a383eb20d (from 0974ad534 on U8 #1916)

Same defect as the identical row on #1915 / #1916 / #1918, fixed once on the unit that owns the save-gate teardown and ported in the declared merge order U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9, so the blob table on easonLiangWorldedtech#41 traces every copy of DiffViewProvider.ts back to one source commit.

• runTeardown() records that a cancellation is waiting on the pass that owns the session.
• saveChanges() reports no completed save when a cancellation landed during its post-publish pass, instead of running diagnostics and the EOL/patch tail against provider state (newContent, relPath) that the finalization clears.
• revertChanges() closes the session after the owning pass returned, when that pass did not close it - the case this row describes, where a disposal's revertChanges() waited on the save's pass and neither side finalized, leaving isEditing true and activeDiffEditor retained after the task that owned them was disposed.

Port adaptations for this unit (also in the commit message): this branch's runTeardown() takes a second finalize argument that U8's does not, and the rejected save's discard pass passes one too - it restores the preview tabs but never resets. "Has a finalize step" is therefore not the same question as "closes the session", and the source commit's isEditing || activeDiffEditor state check would let a waiter reset a session the owner had already closed. This unit records the answer instead: teardownPassResets is set inside revertChanges()'s own finalize step and cleared when a pass starts, and a waiter finalizes only when the pass it joined did not reset. This branch also has no ownedTeardown result check in saveChanges(), so the source commit's !ownedTeardown block was not ported here.

Measured on this unit: red first with the production hunks absent and the tests ported -> 4 failed | 142 passed; green -> 146 passed. Negative control: removing the waiter finalization -> 4 failed | 142 passed, production file restored byte-exactly, post-restore run 146 passed. tsc --noEmit 50 errors, identical to this branch's baseline and 0 in the touched files; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean on both files; src/eslint-suppressions.json untouched.

🟠 Major · The move path in diff-view mode still overwrites the destination… · ApplyPatchTool.ts:539-543

src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts:539-543
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The move path in diff-view mode still overwrites the destination without any guard.

This PR sends the focus-disruption move branch (Lines 526-537) through saveDirectly(..., "create", sourceComplete, ...). That branch rejects these targets:

• an existing destination the model never read;
• a destination whose source view was partial;
• a stale destination.

The else branch is the default when preventFocusDisruption is off. It still calls fs.mkdir and then fs.writeFile(moveAbsolutePath, newContent, "utf8") directly. The next step unlinks the source.

Trigger: run a patch with *** Move to: src/existing.ts while focus-disruption prevention is off. Precondition: src/existing.ts exists, and the model never read it.

Result: the existing destination is silently replaced. The write skips the version check, the per-path FIFO chain, and the advisory lock. It is also not atomic. The new guard at Lines 488-525, including the partial-source rejection, never runs on this branch.

Route this branch through the same guarded publish. Run the completeness carry-over first, so that both modes enforce one policy.

Proposed fix

-			} else {
-				// Write to new path and delete old file
-				const parentDir = path.dirname(moveAbsolutePath)
-				await fs.mkdir(parentDir, { recursive: true })
-				await fs.writeFile(moveAbsolutePath, newContent, "utf8")
-			}
+			}

Hoist the sourceObs/destObs completeness block above the if (isPreventFocusDisruptionEnabled) check. Then call task.diffViewProvider.saveDirectly(change.movePath, newContent, false, diagnosticsEnabled, writeDelayMs, "create", sourceComplete, false, undefined) on both branches.

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T05:14:12.096Z
Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, Windows DACL preservation uses a documented fallback that permits publication when `icacls /save` fails or the DACL check through `fs.access` fails with an error other than `ENOENT`. These failures must be reported through the `onWarning` sink, not silently ignored. The fallback does not require aborting the write.

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T04:50:26.128Z
Learning: In src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, staging/target identity comparisons must use `{ bigint: true }` filesystem stats for device and inode identifiers. NTFS/ReFS identifiers can exceed Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; number rounding can falsely reject a valid staging file or fail to detect staging/target aliasing.

File: src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts:76-97
Timestamp: 2026-10-07T09:38:39.308Z
Learning: In src/core/tools/ApplyDiffTool.ts, apply_diff intentionally records a stable internal file read as a partial observation when no prior observation exists. This supports targeted edits without a preceding read_file call, including the flow in apps/vscode-e2e/fixtures/apply-diff.json. Partial observations must not authorize full-file replacement. If a prior observation has an older version, ApplyDiffTool must preserve it so the guarded save rejects the stale version rather than refreshing authorization.

The concern is unsubstantiated. The only production caller that passes backup: true is safeWriteJson, and it already removes PostCommitDurabilityError.backupPath. The other production callers omit the options argument.

Assert the approved target identity.

This test checks the approval flag but not the ninth saveDirectly argument. That argument carries the canonical target captured before approval. If the caller drops it, this test still passes, while the guard rejects the approved outside-workspace write. Make realpath return a distinct canonical path and assert that args[8] equals that path. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per path instructions, “Require regression coverage at the lowest valid harness with behavior-focused assertions.”

Remove the move-destination canonicalization, because its result is never used.

moveCanonicalTarget is computed only when isMoveOutsideWorkspace is true. Immediately afterwards, the code at Lines 469-477 returns early for the same condition. As a result, isPathOutsideWorkspace(moveAbsolutePath) at Line 535 is always false, and moveCanonicalTarget at Line 536 is always undefined.

The extra call can also change the failure path. Precondition: the outside destination runs through a dangling link. Then canonicalizeForApproval throws GuardRejectedError before the tool's own rejection. The tool then skips consecutiveMistakeCount++, recordToolError, and the "Cannot move file to path outside workspace" message. The error reaches the outer handleError instead.

Proposed fix

 			const isMoveOutsideWorkspace = isPathOutsideWorkspace(moveAbsolutePath)
-			// Bound at classification time: ...
-			const moveCanonicalTarget = isMoveOutsideWorkspace
-				? await canonicalizeForApproval(moveAbsolutePath, change.movePath)
-				: undefined
 			if (isMoveOutsideWorkspace) {

 					"create",
 					sourceComplete,
-					// The user approved the whole patch, which names this destination.
-					isPathOutsideWorkspace(moveAbsolutePath),
-					moveCanonicalTarget,
+					false,
+					undefined,

Review comment at @src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts around lines 463 - 468:
Remove the conditional moveCanonicalTarget computation using
canonicalizeForApproval in the isMoveOutsideWorkspace flow; the
outside-workspace branch returns before the later move handling can use it.
Ensure the subsequent move guard no longer depends on that unreachable canonical
target, preserving the tool’s existing outside-workspace rejection path.

Remove the duplicate confinement tests.

Lines 836-860 use the same title as the test at Lines 685-726: "rejects an out-of-scope target before the advisory lock is taken". Both tests check the same ordering: no lock call before ConfinedPathEscapeError. Lines 862-877 cover the same case as Lines 728-746: an out-of-scope target with a missing parent creates no directory. Duplicate titles make a failure report ambiguous. Each change to the confinement order must also be updated in two places.

Keep one test for each behavior. If the throwing lock mock at Line 843 is the stronger check, merge it into the test at Line 685 and delete the copy.

Merge the throwing lock-mock assertion from the duplicate “rejects an

counterpart, then remove the duplicate; likewise remove the duplicate “does not
create the parent directory of an out-of-scope confined target” test.
