Tracking issue: #1399

Part of the file-write-safety series (#1375) — S4a: guarded write CAS core (compare-and-swap on the write path). Stacked on #1383 (S1, version token), #1394 (S2, observation registry) and #1395 (S3, atomic publish) — rebases onto main as those land.

What

  • New file src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts — compare-and-swap on the write path:
    • unobserved target → createIfAbsent: a new file succeeds, an existing file fails loudly ("read the file first, then retry") — forcing the model to read before overwriting;
    • observed-present → replaceIfVersion(version): the on-disk version token (S1 computeVersionToken) is compared with the task's observation (S2 registry); a mismatch fails with a stale-version remediation ("re-read the file, then retry");
    • unobserved edit → fails with "file not read yet — read the file, then retry".
  • Per-absolute-path FIFO chain — read → guard → publish is wrapped in a per-path tail-promise chain, so concurrent in-process writes to the same file are deterministically ordered: one wins, the rest fail as stale and self-heal via re-read + retry.
  • Cross-process stance — no lockfile (it would block the user's own editor); the version token detects a concurrent external mutation and the loser fails as stale.
  • Tool wiring (WriteToFile / EditFile / SearchReplace / ApplyPatch / ApplyDiff) is the follow-up PR S4b (Tracking S4b: wire guarded writes into the diff-view save paths #1400) to keep this diff focused on the core.

Tests

  • guardedWrite.spec.ts — every guard branch (unobserved-absent/create, unobserved-existing fails, observed-absent, version-match publish, stale-version fails with remediation suffix, unobserved-edit fails) plus concurrency: two concurrent writers on one path → exactly one succeeds; observed-absent then concurrent create → the second fails stale; the chain settles after a rejection.
  • Regression: S1 version-token, S2 observation-registry + ReadFileTool, and S3 safeWriteText suites stay green.
  • Local gates: eslint 0, tsc 0, 100% patch coverage on guardedWrite.ts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added safer atomic file publishing with staging, durability checks, permission preservation, backups, rollback, and symlink support.
    • Added guarded writes that re-check files immediately before publishing to prevent overwriting concurrent changes.
    • Added file version tracking and observation-based conflict detection.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cleanup and rollback when publishing fails.
    • Ensured symlink aliases share consistent locking and editor saves use the safer publishing workflow.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for safe writes, guarded writes, version tracking, observations, symlinks, and editor file saving.

Update (CodeRabbit-sync from trial #1413): head 56ce4bfe9 — safeWriteJson test cleanup now uses vi.doUnmock + vi.resetModules (both sites) instead of the hoisted vi.unmock (trial addendum 178e6f4). Review context: trial PR #1413.

Review-gate re-trigger (2026-08-30): empty commit be894d9 (no code change) re-runs CI and CodeRabbit current-head review under the org new PR review gate; the code head remains 56ce4bf.

…oo-Code-Org#1375)

Introduces the version token - dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs derived from a single fs.stat - a pure function of a file's on-disk state that every process computing from the same state agrees on. The compare-and-swap write guard (A2/A3) will compare the token observed at read time against the token recomputed before a write to detect stale or replaced files. No production callers yet: this is infrastructure for the file-write safety series (plan: #33), part of upstream epic Zoo-Code-Org#1375.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)

Review finding: 'ino is an exact integer' was overstated. Node exposes ino as a float64 number: exact for small POSIX inode numbers, but on modern Windows the file ID exceeds 2^53 so Node's own value is already rounded (verified on node v25: non-zero ino, isSafeInteger=false). It remains deterministic per file (same file -> same token), so the token contract is unchanged; change detection rests on exact dev/size plus the mtime/ctime ns fields. Document the bound instead of claiming exactness.
Zoo-Code-Org#1375)

CodeRabbit finding on this PR: the default numeric fs.stat() loses precision (values above 2^53 are rounded, including Windows file IDs) and the ms->ns derivation introduced a double-precision quantum. Fixed by fetching the stat with { bigint: true }: all five token fields (dev, ino, size, mtimeNs, ctimeNs) are exact BigInt values rendered as decimal strings, with no float anywhere. The sub-ms test now asserts an exact 1_000 ns delta instead of bounded drift, and a regression test pins a size of 10^16+1 (> Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds atomic text publishing, bigint-based file version tokens, per-task observation tracking, and guarded writes. JSON and editor writes now use the shared publishing primitive. File reads record stable observations, and guarded writes enforce version checks and per-path ordering.

Changes

File safety and guarded writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic text publishing
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds symlink-aware atomic writes with staging, fsync, permission preservation, backups, rollback, cleanup, Windows DACL handling, and pre-commit verification.
Version tokens and task observations
src/utils/versionToken.ts, src/utils/__tests__/versionToken.spec.ts, src/core/task/..., src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts
Adds deterministic filesystem version tokens and per-task observation registries. Native and legacy reads record versions only when pre-read and post-read metadata match.
Guarded write compare-and-swap
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts
Adds create, update, and edit guards with version checks, remediation errors, path normalization, pre-commit re-verification, and per-path FIFO ordering.
Safe-write consumer integration
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts, src/integrations/editor/..., src/eslint-suppressions.json
Routes JSON locking and publication and direct editor saves through safeWriteText. Updates related tests and lint suppression counts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58bb5

The guarded create path can overwrite a file created externally between its absence check and final publish, which may cause unintended data loss; this PR needs a fix or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

Convert a missing target into a guard verdict.

computeVersionToken rejects with the raw ENOENT error when the observed file was deleted after the read. That error propagates unchanged, so this branch is the only one that returns an errno message instead of a remediation message. Map ENOENT to a GuardRejectedError that tells the caller to re-read or create the file.

♻️ Proposed change
 export async function replaceIfVersion(absolutePath: string, expectedVersion: string, content: string): Promise<void> {
-	const currentVersion = await computeVersionToken(absolutePath)
+	let currentVersion: string
+	try {
+		currentVersion = await computeVersionToken(absolutePath)
+	} catch (error: unknown) {
+		if (errorCode(error) !== "ENOENT") throw error
+		throw new GuardRejectedError(
+			"File no longer exists at " + absolutePath + " -- it was deleted after you read it; re-read or recreate it, then retry.",
+			absolutePath,

Delete the chain entry when the link is the tail.

pendingChains gains one entry per distinct absolute path and never releases it. The map therefore grows for the lifetime of the extension host, and only the test hook resetChain clears it. Remove the entry when the settled link is still the tail.

♻️ Proposed cleanup
 function enqueue(pathKey: string, fn: () => Promise<void>): Promise<void> {
 	const prev = pendingChains.get(pathKey) ?? Promise.resolve()
 	const next = prev.then(fn, fn)
 	pendingChains.set(pathKey, next)
+	// Release the entry once this link settles and is still the tail. Both
+	// handlers are attached so a rejected link never floats.
+	const release = () => {
+		if (pendingChains.get(pathKey) === next) pendingChains.delete(pathKey)
+	}
+	void next.then(release, release)
 	return next

Close the check-to-commit window in createIfAbsent.

fs.access checks that the target is absent, then safeWriteText publishes with fs.rename(tempPath, targetPath), which replaces an existing target. If another process creates the file between these operations, its content can be lost. Add an atomic create-only commit mode to safeWriteText.

Apply the preserved mode with fchmodSync in the staging branch too.

openSync(tempPath, "w", targetMode) treats targetMode as a creation mode, so the process umask masks it. With umask 0o022 a 0o664 target is published as 0o644, and group write permission is lost through the commit rename. The caller-supplied tempPath branch already uses fchmodSync, which is exact. Use the same call in both branches so mode preservation does not depend on the umask.

♻️ Proposed change to preserve the exact target mode
 			const fd = fsSync.openSync(tempPath, "w", targetMode)
 			try {
+				// Apply the mode on the fd: the openSync creation mode is
+				// masked by the umask, which would narrow a 0o664 target.
+				fsSync.fchmodSync(fd, targetMode)
 				// Loop until every byte is written: writeSync can report a short
 				// (partial) write, and publishing a truncated staging file would
 				// commit corrupt content.

Remove the skipIf and stub the fd, or delete this duplicated case.

The platform option exists so the win32 branch runs on any runner. This test is skipped on Linux and macOS CI, and it also does not stub fsSync.openSync, so it has never run in that configuration.

Drop this test; it duplicates the registry unit spec and exercises no ReadFileTool behavior.

The body only calls ObservationRegistry.observe and get. It never invokes readFileTool. src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts already proves instance independence at lines 62-71. The name says "Task-owned", but no Task participates. The function is also declared async with no await.

This test does not prove the absence of cross-path serialization.

The only assertion is that safeWriteText ran twice. A fully serialized implementation produces the same count. If the chain key changed from the absolute path to a single global key, this test would still pass.

625-625: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the unavoidable proper-lockfile.lock cast.

The mock already derives its parameter types from realLockfile.lock. Keep the double assertion only if Vitest cannot preserve the function type, and add a nearby comment that explains this limitation.

- Around line 97-106: The createIfAbsent and version-checked write paths must
enforce their absence or expected-version predicates at publication time, not
only before calling safeWriteText. Update the write mechanism used by
createIfAbsent and the corresponding version-check path so the commit atomically
revalidates the expected state and refuses publication when an external writer
has created or modified the target; preserve the existing guard failure
behavior.
- Around line 61-65: Update enqueue so each path-chain entry is removed from
pendingChains when its newly created promise settles, but only if the map still
points to that same promise as the current tail; preserve newer queued work when
it has replaced the entry.

368-380: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Prove that writes on different paths run concurrently.

The safeWriteText mock resolves immediately. A global queue would also call it twice and pass this assertion. Hold the first write pending, assert that the second path enters safeWriteText before release, then release both writes.

Strengthen the test “writes on different paths are independent (no cross-path
serialization)” by making the first safeWriteText call remain pending, starting
both guardedWrite operations, and asserting the second path reaches
safeWriteText before releasing the pending writes. Then resolve both writes and
await completion, preserving the existing two-call assertion.

The hoisted vi.unmock runs before the runtime vi.doMock, so it cannot remove that mock; both cleanup sites now use vi.doUnmock for proper-lockfile plus vi.resetModules() so a later dynamic import cannot reuse the cached mocked module (CodeRabbit finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).
