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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • File reads now report clipped lines separately from omitted lines.
    • File edits and writes check that files still match what was read, helping prevent unintended changes to newer or partially viewed content.
    • Reads that are incomplete or change while being read are not treated as complete views when checking edits.
    • File updates are published atomically, preserving existing file permissions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Writes through symlink aliases now use consistent locking and publish to the resolved file.
    • Task history deletion and reconciliation handle symlink aliases more consistently.
    • 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 publishing edits. File tools and diff saves use these guards. Reads track completeness, text publication is atomic, and persistence lock keys resolve symlink aliases.

Changes

File write safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record file 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. Native and legacy reads record observations only when pre- and post-read version tokens match. Read results distinguish complete content from partial, clipped, truncated, or lossily decoded content.
Apply observation-based write guards
src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts, src/core/tools/ApplyPatchTool.ts, related tool implementations and tests
Guarded writes serialize by resolved path, check file presence or observed versions under a lock, and enforce completeness rules. Successful writes refresh observations when a new version token is available. File tools pass create or edit guard kinds; patch moves check source and destination observations.
Guard diff-view publication and cleanup
src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts
Diff saves publish through guardedWrite. Rejected saves handle matching autosave content or clean up the rejected edit and verified placeholder. Teardown and diff closure are serialized and scoped to the provider.
Add atomic text publication
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
safeWriteText resolves publish targets, validates staging paths, preserves target modes, and syncs staged content before commit. Optional backup handling restores prior content after failure and reports rollback or post-commit durability errors.
Use resolved targets for persistence and locks
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*, src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts, src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
safeWriteJson locks and merges against resolved targets, then delegates commit and rollback to safeWriteText. TaskHistoryStore resolves lock keys for deletion and reconciliation while still unlinking caller-named paths. Tests cover symlink aliases, dangling links, and bounded link walks.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e787e

A concurrent file change may be overwritten when a diff-view edit is based on older content. Align the guarded version with the content used to build the edit 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: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The changed paused-task continuation behavior lacks focused coverage. Task.recursivelyMakeClineRequests now pushes a continuation when isPaused is true, even when userMessageContent is empty (src/core/task/Task.ts:4696-4702). A search of the task tests found no references to isPaused; existing loop tests cover other continuation cases but not this branch.

Resolution

Add a focused Task.spec.ts test for recursivelyMakeClineRequests with isPaused true and no user content after a response that uses a tool. Assert the paused continuation proceeds as intended. Include the unpaused, empty-content case as a control so the new behavior is directly distinguished.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

Task-history deletion can report success while leaving persisted state behind. The changed canonical lock key makes an alias deletion contend with a writer holding the referent lock (TaskHistoryStore.ts:283–288); acquireFileLock has finite retries (fileLock.ts:21–30). If that lock acquisition times out, delete() has already evicted the cache entry, catches the failure, and still writes through the reduced cache (TaskHistoryStore.ts:278–295). The added test confirms this outcome: the file remains, the cache entry is gone, and delete() resolves (TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts:131–149). deleteMany() has the same mismatch (TaskHistoryStore.ts:309–325; test lines 469–493). Reconciliation scans task directories and reloads surviving files (TaskHistoryStore.ts:352–385), so the deleted task can reappear.

Resolution

For delete() and each deleteMany() item, evict the cache and mtime only after unlink succeeds or the path is confirmed absent. On lock-acquisition or other unlink errors, retain the item and surface the partial failure to the caller. For batches, continue processing other items, but write through only a cache state that matches the files that were actually deleted, and report the failed task IDs.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The new rejected-save cleanup can leave another task’s editor listeners registered after closing their shared diff tab. openDiffEditor() reuses an existing Roo diff for the same file (DiffViewProvider.ts:1231–1242), while each provider registers its own editor, selection, and scroll listeners in open() (lines 266–323). On a guard rejection, cleanup disposes only the current provider’s listeners, then closeOwnDiffView() closes every clean Roo diff matching the file path (lines 556–605, 914–940). If two task providers share a diff for the same path, the rejecting task closes that tab while the other provider’s listeners remain attached. A paused or otherwise long-lived task can retain those stale listeners until its own cleanup runs.

Resolution

Associate each diff tab with its owning provider and close it only when that provider owns it. Alternatively, track all providers sharing a diff and dispose their listeners and deferred timers when the shared tab closes. Add a test with two providers using the same path; reject one save and verify the other provider does not retain listeners or a pending timer for the closed diff.

…ve (U1, issue 1375)

Split unit U1 of PR 1833. Three changes, each with a test that fails without it:
- a caller-supplied staging path is checked for location and file type before anything is written, so an arbitrary path or a symlink cannot be published onto the target;
- a failed parent-directory fsync on POSIX is reported as PostCommitDurabilityError instead of being swallowed, so a successful return never claims durability the filesystem did not grant;
- the staged file and this write's own staging directory are released before RollbackFailureError is thrown.

Focused coverage for resolveLockKey added: canonical parent directory, a dangling-link chain, and termination at the bounded depth on a two-link cycle.
…ishTarget (U1, issue 1375)

The resolver may fall back to the given path only when lstat also reports the path as absent. An EACCES or EIO failure says nothing about whether the path is a link, so falling back would publish through a link we were not allowed to inspect. Focused tests added for both branches.

… type-sound

compile failed at the unit head on three points:
- RollbackFailureError needs a string backupPath, but the throw now happens after cleanup, so the
  `string | null` narrowing was lost. The failure is now held as { error, backupPath }.
- The async lstat stand-in is built on the Stats prototype so it satisfies fsSync.Stats.
- The realpath/readlink mocks are typed to the real signatures; the readlink mock answers once
  because only the link path is read.

Judging this warning against the code at head.

The conditional is present and correct at Task.ts:4698 — if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0 || this.isPaused) — so the paused continuation itself is not a defect; the gap is coverage only, and CodeRabbit marks warnings as optional.

I tried the focused request-loop test you suggest. It is not reachable at this layer with a stable double: the per-turn path before the continuation decision goes through processUserContentMentions (file-context tracker + roo-ignore controller), getTaskMode(), safeEnsureModelFetched, the presenter and pWaitFor, so a stub-based Task instance needs eight unrelated internals faked before it reaches line 4698. The one harness in this repo that drives a real turn (__tests__/ask-auto-deny.spec.ts) works only because it asserts on a flag the loop sets as a side effect; a test that instead asserts "the loop iterated again" needs the presenter to be a no-op and the wait to resolve, which is exactly the setup that stopped being deterministic here.

I would rather not land a test whose pass/fail depends on how many private fields the loop happens to read before the branch. If you want coverage pinned at this layer, the clean seam is to hoist the continuation decision into a small pure predicate (e.g. shouldContinueAfterTurn(hasContent, isPaused)) and test that — say the word and I will do it in a separate unit.

Nothing here is open at head, so I am closing this thread as an accepted warning rather than leaving it hanging.

Unit 9 was rebuilt from the pre-fix content source, so its copy of safeWriteText.ts
still restored the backup over a write whose commit rename had already succeeded when
the parent-directory fsync failed, and its safeWriteJson test still claimed the
original error propagates when the assertions expect a RollbackFailureError.

Both are already settled upstream (unit 1 committed guard, unit 3 test title). Taking
those files here keeps the shared code byte-identical across the units and clears the
open CodeRabbit threads at this head.

Tests: 52 passed in safeWriteText.spec.ts, 23 passed + 1 skipped in safeWriteJson.test.ts,
ESLint clean with --max-warnings=0.

Judging this against the code at head.

The first half is the unit's documented policy, not a defect: guardedWrite requires a prior observation for kind: "edit" (lines 342-345) and a complete observation only for a full-file replacement (lines 297-300, 370). open() records the preview as complete: false precisely so it cannot authorize a full-file overwrite, and DiffViewProvider.spec.ts asserts that (open() observes the previewed version of an existing file as a partial read, not a model read, line 1245). The asymmetry you describe is therefore intended: the diff-view path is a user-confirmed accept of a shown diff, saveDirectly is an unconfirmed full-file publish.

The second half is real and I am not fixing it here because it is not this unit's seam. The tool builds newContent from its own fs.readFile; open() stats later, so a change landing between the tool's read and the stat becomes the recorded baseline and the compare-and-swap passes. Recording the tool's own read as the observation (your option 2) is the right fix, but the read lives in the tool wiring (unit 7), not in DiffViewProvider, so it needs a cross-unit decision. Recorded on the tracking issue as follow-up.

Leaving this thread open pending that decision rather than closing it with the policy half answered.

418-426: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The post-commit fsync failure path leaves the backup file on disk

Step 4b throws PostCommitDurabilityError after committed = true, so Step 6 never runs. The outer catch skips the rollback because committed is true. It also never unlinks backupPath. For every safeWriteJson write (backup: true) on a filesystem where a directory fsync fails, one safeWriteText.bak_* file is left beside the target. The leftover files build up over time. A previous review thread already raised this, and it is still open at this head.

Proposed fix

+					if (releaseBackupOnSuccess && backupPath) {
+						await fs.unlink(backupPath).catch(() => {})
+					}
 					throw new PostCommitDurabilityError(targetPath, error)

109-114: The tool's own hunk read still grants full-file authority when no model observation exists.

The previous review flagged this line, and the thread is marked addressed. Line 113 still sets complete = true when prior === undefined. The model can then issue an apply_patch update on a file it never read. The tool's internal read records a complete observation. The "edit" publish keeps that status: staysPartial is false. A later write_to_file passes the completeness gate in guardedWrite and replaces content the model never saw. The same value also sets sourceComplete on the move path (Line 456).

The spec at applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts Lines 327-344 encodes this behavior as intended. If the behavior is deliberate, record that decision. If it is not, use prior !== undefined && prior.complete === true && prior.version === preReadToken.

src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts (1)

155-160: The preview observation still authorizes "edit" writes on the diff-view path only.

The previous review flagged this block, and it is unchanged. If the task has no observation, open() records the preview token with complete: false. guardedWrite with kind "edit" accepts any existing observation. As a result, EditTool, SearchReplaceTool, ApplyDiffTool, EditFileTool, and ApplyPatchTool publish edits to unread files through saveChanges(..., "edit"). With preventFocusDisruption enabled, the same edits fail with "File not read yet".

open() also stats the file after the tool's own fs.readFile. A change that lands between the tool's read and the stats in open() becomes the baseline. The compare-and-swap then passes and overwrites that change.

Choose one policy for both paths. Either stop recording an observation in open(), or bracket each tool's own read with stats.

…e value the double wrote

The test observed the destination through its own mockSaveDirectly implementation and
then read that value back, so it passed even if ApplyPatchTool passed false or omitted the
argument. Assert the seventh saveDirectly argument (sourceComplete) directly.

Local note: this spec cannot run in this worktree (the 'diff' package is not resolvable
from either node_modules here) and ESLint cannot resolve its config here; CI covers both.
