This PR makes the task-history delete path obey the same lock discipline as every writer: deleteMany() resolves each task id's file through the canonical lock key - so a symlink alias and its referent cannot delete and write in parallel - takes the per-path file lock before unlinking, and reports per-id failures honestly: failed ids stay in the cache and the store never reports a deletion it did not perform.

This is the last writer in the chain to join the lock discipline. It is the ninth of nine PRs for epic #1375 (chain tracked on #1991), so merging it completes the series.

Closes: #2024 (this unit's tracking issue).
Closes: #1375 (epic - the last unit of the chain; the epic closes when this lands).
Refs: #1991 (chain tracking).

Description

What this PR changes:

  1. TaskHistoryStore.deleteMany() resolves each id's file through the canonical key every other writer uses and takes the per-path file lock before unlinking.
  2. Per-id failure accounting: a failed delete is recorded per id, the batch continues, failed ids stay in the cache, and the write-through is skipped when the whole batch failed.
  3. Consistency ports this unit carries: the approved outside-workspace identity binding in guardedWrite (approvedCanonicalTarget, captured before the approval - the guard only compares against it, never against a lookup done at publish time), the workspace-root resolution fix (an unresolvable root is dropped from the allow-list instead of vetoing every write), and failed-batch assertions rewritten to state the contract instead of comparing a live map with itself.

Why the diff looks bigger than the change: the chain is non-cumulative - this branch is based on main and carries its own copy of the earlier units' content (guarded-write core, observation registry, editor lifecycle, atomic publish, read-scope recording), which the GitHub diff shows as context. This unit's own delta is 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines.

Review focus: src/core/task-persistence/TaskHistoryStore.ts (deleteMany) and src/core/task-persistence/__tests__/TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics.spec.ts.

Test Procedure

From the repository root, with dependencies installed:

pnpm --dir src test -- core/task-persistence
pnpm --dir src exec vitest run --globals core/tools/__tests__/guardedWrite.spec.ts
pnpm --dir src exec eslint . --ext=ts --max-warnings=0

Expected: the delete-path contract (every id reported, entries and files kept when the batch failed, the canonical key used for the lock) plus the reconciliation and concurrency suites.
Environment: Windows 11, Node 20, unit layer only.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Scope is one gate scope and matches the unit.
  • No .changeset or CHANGELOG changes (AGENTS.md).
  • src/eslint-suppressions.json unchanged - no suppression count increased.
  • New code lints clean (--max-warnings=0) rather than relying on suppressions.
  • Tests added at the lowest layer that would have caught each finding.
  • Every ported test re-measured in this unit's harness, with a negative control.
  • Visual Snapshot item considered: not applicable (no rendered surface).

Visual Snapshots

Not applicable - the delete-path locking is extension-host internal.

Videos (interaction / animation only)

Not applicable.

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

  • Budget: own delta 308 a+d / 23 changed executable lines - inside both caps. The mutation gate reports the GitHub diff's changed-line count (1407 against the 500 cap) because the unlanded predecessors inflate it; the row clears on rebase after the predecessors merge.
  • 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.
  • taskFileMtimes is populated only by the reconcile path, so an un-reconciled store legitimately has an empty map there; the failed-batch test seeds it before asserting presence.
  • Content source of record: the superseded umbrella PR feat(tools): track read completeness and guard the diff-view save path (S4b, #1375) #1833 (closed), replayed onto the current main tip. Split plan of record: comments 5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776 on [Tracking] guarded-write chain (epic 1375): rules, port sources, chain-level rows #1991.
  • Merge order for the chain: U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9. This unit's merge-order predecessor is U7 (feat(tools): route the remaining write tools through the guard (U7, #1375) #1918).

Verification at this head

  • vitest core/task-persistence: 197 passed (11 files).
  • vitest core/tools + integrations/editor: 916 passed, 5 skipped, 2 failed - both failures donor-junction artifacts of the local harness (DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS resolves from a stale junctioned dist; CI test and compile are green at this head).
  • ESLint (the CI command, full src) exit 0; suppressions unchanged.
  • CI at this head: all required checks green; mutation-diff red on the budget-cap count described above (no surviving mutants in this unit's own lines).

Updated this round

Get in Touch

Reviewer and maintainer questions are welcome as comments on this PR or on #1991.

Stryker directive removal (equivalence notes)

Per AGENTS.md the two Stryker suppression comments in the guarded save
path were removed instead of kept; their equivalence claims:

  • writeKind default StringLiteral ("update" -> ""): an empty kind
    dispatches exactly like "update" inside guardedWrite - only "edit"
    and "create" branch distinctly - and the default-parameter line is
    not part of this unit's changed-line selector, so the mutant is
    equivalent / out of scope.
  • saveTask operand of the adoption-probe guard (LogicalOperator):
    GuardRejectedError is only thrown by guardedWrite, which is reached
    only after the !saveTask check above has already thrown. Whenever
    the operand is evaluated saveTask is provably non-null, so dropping
    the operand cannot change which branch is taken.

mutation-diff remains advisory for stacked units; maintainers decide any
narrow gate-config exclusion.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • File reads now distinguish clipped lines from omitted lines.
    • File edits and writes check for changes since a file was read; partial reads receive more cautious protection.
    • JSON writes can be restricted to a specified directory.
  • Bug Fixes

    • File updates are published atomically while preserving existing permissions.
    • Writes through symlink aliases use consistent locking and update the resolved file.
    • Failed task-history deletions leave affected items intact while batch deletion continues for other items.
    • Rejected file edits no longer leave unintended changes in the editor buffer.

The PR adds task-scoped file observations and guarded publication, atomic text and JSON writing, and explicit task-history deletion failures. File tools and diff saves pass write intent and outside-workspace approval data to guarded writes. Task-history deletion retains entries when removal fails and reports failed IDs.

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 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/*Tool.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 coordinates 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.

Moves can still overwrite an unread destination when focus-disruption prevention is off. Resolve or explicitly accept that gap 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

A changed negative branch still lacks focused coverage. safeWriteJson.ts:194-211 re-resolves the publish target after acquiring the lock and must reject ConfinedPathEscapeError when the target changes outside confineTo. Current tests cover pre-lock out-of-scope rejection (safeWriteJson.test.ts:684-751) and under-lock resolution failure (safeWriteJson.lockKey.spec.ts:118-152), but no test changes the target after lock acquisition and verifies post-lock confinement rejection, lock release, and no staging or publication.

Resolution

Add a utility-layer safeWriteJson test that starts with an in-scope target, acquires the lock, switches the target or symlink referent outside confineTo, and asserts ConfinedPathEscapeError. Also assert lock release and no temporary file, backup, rename, or outside write. Keep the existing pre-lock and resolution-failure tests.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The changed guarded-write path still has a symlink TOCTOU that bypasses approval and workspace containment. src/core/tools/guardedWrite.ts:523-541 verifies the canonical target, then :204 and :285 call safeWriteText(absolutePath, content). src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:273-275 resolves the path again before :530 renames the staging file. If an attacker swaps the target or an ancestor symlink after verification, the publish can resolve to an unapproved outside file. Approved callers pass this path from WriteToFileTool.ts:145-156 and equivalent tool call sites.

Resolution

Remove the check-then-resolve gap. Bind verification to the exact target used for publication, and use a no-follow or directory-handle-based atomic operation that prevents target or ancestor replacement between validation and rename. Apply this to approved outside-workspace writes and ordinary workspace writes.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

The prior lifecycle failure remains. During guardedWrite in DiffViewProvider.saveChanges() (src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts:596), Task.disposeOnce() disposes fileContextTracker and starts revertChanges() (src/core/task/Task.ts:3597-3606). The save then returns an empty result when teardownPasses > 0 (DiffViewProvider.ts:726-728). EditTool, WriteToFileTool, and the other save callers ignore that result and continue to trackFileContext, set edit state, post success, reset, and process queued messages (EditTool.ts:238-262, WriteToFileTool.ts:189-211). FileContextTracker.trackFileContext() and setupFileWatcher() have no disposed guard (FileContextTracker.ts:81-95 and 48-77), so tracking after disposal can create a new watcher. This is a concrete cancellation race that leaks a watcher and performs post-disposal work.

Resolution

Return an explicit completed/cancelled save result and make every saveChanges caller return before tracking, edit-state updates, success reporting, reset, or queued-message processing when the save did not complete. Add a disposed flag guard to FileContextTracker.trackFileContext() and setupFileWatcher() so disposal is a final barrier. Add a race test that disposes the task while guardedWrite is pending and verifies no post-save work and no watcher creation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changeset includes substantial guarded-write, observation-registry, editor-lifecycle, safe-write, and read-scope changes beyond task-history deletion. The description attributes them to carried predecessor units, but the provided changeset does not establish that all are required for this PR.

Confirmed — this is the same defect as the other three fsync threads, not four separate ones.

The rollback in the catch ran whenever backup mode had renamed target -> backup, including when the failure happened after the commit rename had already published. PostCommitDurabilityError tells the caller the content is at the target path, but the catch had already renamed the backup back over that target, so the error message and the file disagreed.

Fixed in the unit that owns the publish path, #1910, commit 58f803ddb: a committed flag is set immediately after the commit rename and the rollback is skipped once it is set, so only a pre-commit failure can restore the backup.

Regression test at the lowest layer that would have failed (commit rename succeeds, post-commit directory open fails, backup mode on): fails without the guard, passes with it. This unit carries the same copy of safeWriteText.ts, so it inherits the fix once #1910 merges first in the chain order U1 -> U2 -> U3 -> U4 -> U5 -> U8 -> U6 -> U7 -> U9.

Resolving as handled.

Not applicable at this head. Line 109 already reads const complete = prior?.complete === true && prior.version === preReadToken, so an internal read grants full-file authority only when a prior observation was complete and its version matches; otherwise it records false. No change needed.

Not applicable at this head. This unit does not remove || this.isPaused; it adds it. The diff is - if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0) -> + if (this.userMessageContent.length > 0 || this.isPaused), so a paused task does not fall through to the noToolsUsed() retry.

Series alignment with fws/u6-apply-patch-wiring. The e2e apply_diff suite drives apply_diff
without a prior read_file, so the only observation available at save time was the one
DiffViewProvider.open() records for the preview. Now that the preview cannot authorize
the save, the guarded save falls back to the unobserved-edit guard and the flow has no
authorization of its own.

ApplyDiffTool reads the file itself to compute the diff, so it observes that read (stat
around the read, observe only when the file did not change underneath it - the same
contract as ApplyPatchTool's hunk read). The save is authorized against the version the
diff was computed against: unchanged file -> the save proceeds; file changed after the
read -> the compare-and-swap rejects and the stale content is not published.
Five review findings plus one accidental upstream revert:

1. safeWriteJson: the confineTo check ran only under the lock, while its JSDoc promised
   it ran before. The lock file lives NEXT TO the lock key (the symlink referent), so a
   planted link pointing outside the declared scope first made this write create
   <referent>.lock outside that scope, and an unwritable directory there surfaced a
   lock-acquisition error instead of ConfinedPathEscapeError. The scope is now checked
   against the lock key before acquireFileLock, and the under-lock check stays because
   it covers the target re-resolved after a peer commits. The escape predicate is one
   helper (_escapesScope) shared by both sites.
2. safeWriteText: the failure cleanup deleted the backup whenever backupPath and
   releaseBackupOnSuccess held, with nothing distinguishing a pre-commit failure from a
   post-commit one. A Step 4b PostCommitDurabilityError therefore destroyed the only
   copy known to hold the previous content, contradicting the contract stated on the
   Step 4b thread. A committed flag now gates the deletion; the existing post-commit test
   asserted the old behaviour and is updated to assert the recovery copy survives.
3. safeWriteText: the DACL-restore failure after the commit went to console.warn, so a
   caller that passed onWarning never learned that access rights changed. It now goes
   through the same warn sink as the Step 2 DACL notices.
4. ApplyPatchTool: two comments claimed the hunk read was a complete observation when no
   prior observation existed, while the code records false - the intended invariant. The
   comments now say what the code does, so nobody 'fixes' line 113 back to true.
5. applyDiffTool.guardedWrite.spec: four unjustified 'as unknown as void' assertions
   removed.
6. Task: the unit re-added Task.isPaused and the '|| this.isPaused' continuation
   condition that upstream deleted as dead code in 9af61f8 (RSK-12, Zoo-Code-Org#1894); the branch
   contains that commit, so this was a silent revert. Nothing sets the field and the loop
   has no pause check for the pushed empty item to reach.

Tests: safeWriteJson now asserts the confinement verdict precedes any lock attempt by
wrapping proper-lockfile's lock in a capturing mock and re-importing the whole graph
(without vi.resetModules the already-loaded fileLock keeps the real lockfile and the
capture sees nothing). Verified as a pin: with safeWriteJson.ts stashed the assertion
fails on a non-empty lock call list. The backup test is likewise a pin: with
safeWriteText.ts stashed it fails on an unexpected backup unlink.

…re-creating dirs

Four review findings:

1. safeWriteJson: the confineTo check ran before the lock but still AFTER
   fs.mkdir(dirPath, { recursive: true }). A planted symlinked ancestor
   (projectDir/.roo -> /elsewhere) therefore created directories outside the
   declared scope before the ConfinedPathEscapeError, and an unwritable referent
   surfaced the mkdir error instead of the verdict. The scope is now checked
   against the requested path before any filesystem side effect; the pre-lock and
   under-lock checks stay because they cover the lock key and the re-resolved
   target. _resolveScopeRoot already resolves a missing path through its nearest
   existing ancestor, so this works for missing parents too.
2. PostCommitDurabilityError now carries the retained backup path (nullable). The
   catch block deliberately keeps the backup after a post-commit durability
   failure, but the name is a hidden random string, so the caller was told a
   recovery copy exists with no way to find it - and each failure left an
   unrecoverable orphan. Retention behavior is unchanged.
3. DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly no longer calls createDirectoriesForFile before the
   guard. safeWriteText creates missing parents at publish time, so a rejected guard
   now leaves nothing behind - including directories outside the workspace. This
   replaces the earlier 'create then roll back' shape: not creating them is both
   smaller and leaves no window where the directories exist.
4. Comments in safeWriteJson still described the removed rename-based backup and
   rollback (three places), and the _resolveScopeRoot JSDoc had ended up attached to
   _escapesScope. Corrected and re-ordered.

Tests: confinement-before-mkdir (asserts the out-of-scope directory is never
created), backup path reported on the post-commit error and null when no backup was
taken, and no directory creation when the guard rejects. All three are pins: each
fails when its production file is stashed.

Local: utils + services/file-safety + core/tools + core/task + integrations lanes
2763 passed / 22 skipped across 143 files; eslint clean on all six touched files;
tsc unchanged from the 50-error local baseline.
guardedWrite contained every write against task.cwd, a single root, while the write
tools classify paths with isPathOutsideWorkspace over ALL VS Code workspace folders and
ask the user for approval only for paths outside every one of them. Two writes the tool
layer had already treated as legitimate were therefore rejected after the fact: a file
in a second workspace folder (never flagged, so never approved - just refused), and a
path outside every folder that the user had explicitly approved.

guardedWrite now takes an options object:
- additionalRoots: the other workspace folders, supplied by the extension-host caller so
  core stays host-agnostic. Containment is against any of them; a missing root is
  skipped, a root that cannot be resolved at all still fails closed.
- approvedOutsideWorkspace: set only by a tool's post-approval path. It means 'an
  approval decision was obtained for this path', not 'this path is outside', so every
  unapproved call keeps both containment checks. For an approved call the under-lock
  re-check becomes an identity check: the path that resolves at publish time must still
  be the path that was approved, so a symlink swapped in while the write waited on the
  FIFO chain cannot move the publish.

DiffViewProvider.saveDirectly and saveChanges forward both, taking the roots from
vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders. SearchReplaceTool, EditTool, EditFileTool,
WriteToFileTool and ApplyPatchTool pass the isOutsideWorkspace value they already
computed after approval; the patch move passes the destination's own classification,
since the user approved the patch that names it. ApplyDiffTool is left unchanged: it
never classifies or asks about outside-workspace targets, so there is no approval to
honor and its containment stays as it was.

Tests: five in guardedWrite.spec (approved publish, unapproved still rejected, identity
re-check after a swapped link, second-folder root accepted, unnamed second folder still
rejected) and two in DiffViewProvider.spec for the forwarding. Existing saveDirectly/
saveChanges arity assertions updated for the new argument.

Local: core/tools + integrations/editor + core/task + services/file-safety + utils
2320 passed / 10 skipped (120 files); tsc unchanged; eslint clean on all 14 touched
files. Pins verified: the new guardedWrite tests fail with the production file stashed,
and the forwarding test fails with DiffViewProvider.ts stashed.
…next edit

open() records a stat-matched observation for a target the model never read so the
accept-time compare-and-swap has an entry to check. Only saveChanges(..., "edit")
revoked it. A user denial runs revertChanges() then reset(), and reset() cleared the
preOpenObservation snapshot but left the registry entry behind, so the retry's open()
found a non-null prior observation, saveChanges restored it, and guardedWrite accepted
an edit against a version the model never read. The same leftover entry authorized a
later saveDirectly(..., "edit").

open() now remembers the entry it wrote (path + token). reset() forgets it when the
preview ended with no prior observation and the entry still holds that token - so a
save that published (entry now carries the published token) and any other writer's
entry are left alone.

Test: preview an unread file, deny it (reset), retry, and assert the retry is rejected
with the read-first remediation and nothing is published (pin - fails with this change
stashed).

Local: DiffViewProvider.spec 137 passed; core/tools + integrations/editor + core/task +
services/file-safety + utils + core/webview 2898 passed / 10 skipped (151 files; the 3
blanket-auto-deny ClineProvider failures are pre-existing on this branch); tsc
unchanged; eslint clean on both files.
…ter does not own

Persistence Integrity: canonicalDirKey() canonicalized only the immediate parent and
fell back to that literal spelling on ENOENT. A writer whose parent directory already
existed canonicalized through a symlinked ancestor (or a Windows short name) while a
writer racing to create the same directory got the literal path, so the two took
different locks for one file and a read-modify-write lost one side. It now walks up to
the nearest ancestor that exists, canonicalizes that, and re-joins the missing
components; a realpath failure that is not ENOENT is propagated instead of being
papered over with a key that may be wrong.

Regression Evidence: deleteMany() with every requested id failing (one at the lock,
one at the unlink) - all ids are reported in TaskHistoryDeleteError, every cache and
mtime entry and both files remain, and no write-through happens for a batch that
changed nothing.

Lifecycle Resource Cleanup: runTeardown() serialized the callback but revertChanges()
still ran restorePreviewTabs() and reset() afterwards for every caller, so a
cancellation that arrived while a rejected save was tearing down the same buffer
restored tabs twice and reset state the owner was still using. runTeardown() now
reports whether the caller owns the cleanup, and a waiter stops there.
…and no observation without a baseline

Port of the Zoo-Code-Org#1918 fix into this unit: this branch carries its own copy of guardedWrite
(the unit branches are not cumulative), and the same defects are in it.

assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace() skipped the canonical comparison whenever every
workspace root failed to resolve with ENOENT, falling back to the lexical decision - the
exact check a planted symlink defeats. A root that is not on disk cannot contain anything,
so any failure to canonicalize a root now refuses the write. realpathNearest() also
rejoined the lexical names of missing components, which cannot tell a directory that has
not been created yet from a symlink whose referent is gone; the walk now stats each
missing component and refuses a path that runs through a dangling link instead of
authorizing a publish outside the container it checked.

The bracketing-stat branches in apply_patch and apply_diff were also unproven here: the
tool-level tests for a rejected pre-read stat (both tools) and a rejected post-read stat
(apply_diff) are ported unchanged, so the read still runs and the publish still fails
closed while nothing is observed.

Identifiers, comments and test names are kept identical to fws/u7 so the merge resolves
trivially.
…eardown as a cancellation

Port of the owner fix on U8 (Zoo-Code-Org#1916, commit 6a4f511) into fws-u9. CodeRabbit's Lifecycle row applies
to every branch that carries a copy of DiffViewProvider's guarded publish, and each of those copies
needs its own verification.

- New state: `teardownPasses` counts the teardown passes this provider actually ran (a caller that
  awaited an in-flight pass does not count). runTeardown() increments it; open() resets it, so a
  provider reused after a cancelled session does not report every later save as cancelled.
- saveChanges() returns the "no save flow of its own" shape when a teardown began while the guarded
  publish was awaiting: that teardown owns the session.
- The post-publish cleanup (listener disposal, buffer revert, diff-view close, auto-close decision,
  restorePreviewTabs) now runs inside runTeardown(), so a cancellation landing during it waits
  instead of closing the same tabs underneath it.

Two tests added to DiffViewProvider.spec.ts (+102):
- "saveChanges() skips its post-publish cleanup when a teardown began during the publish" - the
  cancellation is injected inside the mocked publish; asserts the empty return shape and that

…e session

Port of the owner fix on U8 (Zoo-Code-Org#1916, commit 0fbdf49) into fws-u9. CodeRabbit's Lifecycle row applies to
every branch carrying a guarded publish, and each copy is verified in its own harness.

This branch ALREADY carried the production half, from 448492f ("no cleanup a waiter does not
own", 2026-10-08): runTeardown already returned a boolean and revertChanges already returned before
restorePreviewTabs()/reset(). What was missing was coverage, so this commit adds only the test and
re-measures the mutations here.

- runTeardown() reports ownership: false when it awaited an in-flight pass, true when it ran one.
- revertChanges() returns before restorePreviewTabs()/reset() when it did not own the pass; the pass
  that started the teardown owns the finalization.

Test added (DiffViewProvider.spec.ts +51): "revertChanges() does not restore preview tabs or reset
when it waited for another teardown" - the save's cleanup is gated, the revert starts while it is in
flight, and after both settle restorePreviewTabs ran exactly once, reset never, and the revert did not
touch the document.
Measured coverage gap: the production behaviour was already right here, but nothing pinned it - removing
the guard used to leave 0 tests failing for the ownership claim; now it fails 2.

Negative controls, re-measured in THIS branch's harness (not copied from the owner):
- waiter finalizing anyway (if (!ownedTeardown && false)) -> 2 failed (the new test plus the pre-existing save/revert serialization test, which also depends on the guard)
- cancelled-check removed -> exactly 1 failed
- teardown counter not incremented -> exactly 1 failed
- runTeardown in-flight guard removed -> 3 failed (the three teardown tests)
All restores byte-identical. Full spec green. src-level tsc unchanged from this branch's baseline with
0 error lines in the touched files; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean; eslint-suppressions.json
byte-identical.
…d save

Port of the Zoo-Code-Org#1916 fix (commit 308178a, inline 4225550644) into fws-u9. The gap is real in this branch
too, and it was probed before anything was written.

Probe on the unmodified branch: a rejected publish reaches its discard-only cleanup
(closeOwnDiffView called once) and restorePreviewTabs is called 0 times - the preview tab the diff
evicted is never put back. With the ownership guard in revertChanges(), a concurrent revert that only
waits no longer finalizes either, so nothing restores it.

Fix: the rejected-save path captures the boolean from runTeardown() and restores the preview tabs only
when it owns the pass, before rethrowing. reset() stays with the tool callers' error handling, which
owns the provider lifecycle.

Tests (3 new, +150): the owning rejected save restores them once; a save whose revert waits
restores them once in total and does not reset; a save that joins an already-owned pass restores
nothing.
Negative controls, re-measured in THIS branch's harness:
- restore removed -> 2 failed (both positive tests)
- ownership check dropped -> exactly 1 failed (the third test is what makes that check a real check;
  the first two cannot see it)
All restores byte-identical. Full spec green. src-level tsc at this branch's baseline with 0 error lines
in the touched files; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean; eslint-suppressions.json byte-identical.
Port of the same defect fix to this unit (U9 carries the U7 tool wiring), so the two branches do not
evolve the same call sites differently.

saveDirectly is (relPath, content, openFile, diagnosticsEnabled, writeDelayMs, writeKind,
completeOverride?, approvedOutsideWorkspace?) - DiffViewProvider.ts:1601-1612. Six production call
sites passed isOutsideWorkspace as the SEVENTH argument (completeOverride) and left the eighth
undefined: WriteToFileTool.ts:145, EditTool.ts:223, EditFileTool.ts:449, SearchReplaceTool.ts:219,
ApplyPatchTool.ts:253 and :539. Both parameters are boolean | undefined, so TypeScript cannot catch
the swap; only the patch move path (ApplyPatchTool.ts:507-509) was correct. Effect: an in-workspace
full-file publish records the wrong completeness, and an approved outside-workspace write is never
forwarded as approved, so the guard rejects a write the user already approved.

Fix: each of the six calls now passes undefined for completeOverride and isOutsideWorkspace for the
approval flag, with a comment naming both positions.

Tests: four new tool-layer tests assert the positions directly (args[6] undefined, args[7] true with
isPathOutsideWorkspace mocked to true), and the eight existing saveDirectly assertions now state both
trailing arguments instead of ending at the seventh.

Negative controls, measured in this harness - each site reverted on its own:
- WriteToFileTool.ts:145 -> 2 failed
- EditTool.ts:223 -> 2 failed
- EditFileTool.ts:449 -> 3 failed
- SearchReplaceTool.ts:219 -> 2 failed
- ApplyPatchTool.ts:253 -> 1 failed
- ApplyPatchTool.ts:539 -> 2 failed
All restores byte-identical; baseline after the sweep 131 passed / 5 skipped. src-level tsc 50 error

…ery write

Port of fws-u7-fix 34be982 to this unit; the two branches' guardedWrite.ts is byte-identical again
after this commit (git diff --no-index reports no difference), which is what #41 note 7 relies on.

assertCanonicalInsideWorkspace resolved every workspace root up front and refused the write if ANY of
them failed to canonicalize. In a multi-root workspace that turns one broken folder into a global write
outage: every guarded write in every other folder is refused, including writes whose containment is
fully decidable.

Fix: a root that cannot be canonicalized is dropped from the allow-list instead of aborting the check.
Containment only gets narrower - a target is admitted only when a root that DID resolve contains it -
and a target that only the broken root could have covered still falls through to a refusal, with a
message naming that case. When no root resolves the behaviour is unchanged.

Tests: the two cases ported with the fix. Negative control, measured in this harness: restoring the
per-root throw -> exactly 2 failed (both new cases), the other 60 pass. Restore byte-identical;
baseline after the sweep 62 passed.

tsc 50 error lines (this branch's baseline), eslint --max-warnings=0 clean, eslint-suppressions.json

Inline 4225764602 on Zoo-Code-Org#1917 (Minor, Functional). storeInternals returns the store's live maps, so the
four assertions in this test compared a map with itself: cache.has(id) === before.cache.has(id) holds
for any mutation of either map, and the test would have passed even if deleteMany evicted both failed
ids.

Investigated before changing anything, because the finding implied a user-visible inconsistency (the
list says gone, the disk says present). Measured in this harness: after the fully failed batch the
cache still holds both ids, and taskFileMtimes is EMPTY - not evicted. taskFileMtimes is only written
by the reconcile path (TaskHistoryStore.ts:433, external-change detection), never by upsert, so an
un-reconciled store legitimately has an empty map there. There is no eviction bug; the assertions were
simply vacuous, and CR's suggested "assert true" for taskFileMtimes would have asserted something that
was never true.

Fix: assert the real contract with teeth. The cache must still contain both ids after a failed delete.
For taskFileMtimes, seed the two entries through the same internals the store uses, then require that
the failed delete left them alone - without seeding, a presence assertion would test a state the store
never reaches.

Negative control, measured in this harness: make deleteMany's failure path evict both maps -> the test
goes red (the strengthened assertions catch exactly the bug the old ones could not). Restore
byte-identical; baseline after the sweep 15 passed. eslint --max-warnings=0 clean.
…entity approved

Port of the same fix to this unit so the two branches do not evolve the approved path
differently: guardedWrite.ts is byte-identical to the other unit's after this commit.

The approved path re-checked the target's identity against a baseline the guard took from
its OWN lookup. Every lookup it performs runs after the approval, so a name repointed
between the approval and the publish was captured as the baseline and the write was
published to whatever the name pointed at by then. GuardedWriteOptions.approvedCanonical
Target carries the identity captured before the approval was asked, canonicalizeForApproval
is exported for the tool layer to capture it, and the guard now only compares - an
approved write with no captured identity is refused.

Negative controls measured in this harness: dropping the identity comparison -> 2 failed;
taking the baseline from the post-approval lookup with the caller capture dropped -> 1
failed; accepting a missing capture -> 1 failed. Baseline after the sweep 353 passed / 5
skipped across the nine affected specs; tsc at its 50 baseline; eslint clean with
suppressions unchanged.
… steps

runTeardown() released teardownInFlight as soon as its cleanup callback settled, but the
owner of a pass still had steps to run afterwards - 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.

runTeardown() now takes the finalization as a second argument and tracks a gate promise
that spans cleanup and finalization, so a late caller waits for the whole pass instead of
joining only its first half. The two call sites with post-callback steps (the saveChanges
error path and revertChanges) pass their tail into that argument; the post-publish cleanup
already kept everything inside its callback and is unchanged.

Test: revertChanges() holds the teardown through its finalization steps - the finalization
is held on a gate and a second revertChanges() is fired inside that window; applyEdit,
closeAllDiffViews, restorePreviewTabs and reset must each have run exactly once. It fails
on the previous shape (applyEdit twice).

Negative controls measured in this harness: releasing the guard as soon as the cleanup
callback settles -> 1 failed (applyEdit 2 times); not awaiting the finalization inside the
guard -> 1 failed (applyEdit 2 times). Restores byte-identical.

Baseline after the sweep: 354 passed / 5 skipped across the nine affected specs;
…rror handling

The outside-workspace identity capture sat before the try block of the write flow, so a
target that could not be resolved threw past the tool: no handleError, no diff-view
reset, and the failure escaped a path that is supposed to report it to the model like
any other write failure.

The capture now sits at the top of that try block - still before askApproval, so the
approval is still bound to an identity captured ahead of it, and a path that cannot be
resolved is never put in front of the user at all.

Test: an outside-workspace target whose resolution fails reaches handleError("writing
file", ...), resets the diff view, and publishes nothing. Negative control measured in
this harness: moving the capture back outside the try -> 1 failed, with the
GuardRejectedError escaping the tool instead of being handled. Restore byte-identical.

Baseline after the sweep: 354 passed / 5 skipped across the nine affected specs (u7),
355 / 5 (u9); tsc at its pre-existing 50-error baseline; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean;
src/eslint-suppressions.json untouched.
Two review findings about the tests added for the approved-identity work:

- The outside-workspace forwarding tests reset the isPathOutsideWorkspace module mock
after their assertions, so a failing assertion would leave the flag true and the tests
that follow would fail for the wrong reason. The reset now sits in a finally block.

- The failed-delete test in the delete-semantics spec carried its explanation next to the
assertions while the seeding it describes happens above the delete. The comment now
points back at that seeding instead of implying it happens at the assertions.

Measured in this harness: with the assertion inside the wrapped test broken on purpose,
the file still reports exactly one failure - the flag leak does not currently surface as
a wrong-cause failure in these four specs. The reset is moved for the failure path, not
because a cascade was reproduced.

Baselines after the sweep: 370 passed / 5 skipped across the ten affected specs (u9),

ObservationRegistry.forget() was added so a caller can revoke an authorization it did
not earn without discarding what other reads of the same task still rely on, and nothing
covered it. Three cases: the removal and its boolean result, the absent path (false, and
nothing changes), and that the other entries survive - the reason forget exists rather
than clear.

Plus a construction-level check on Task: two Tasks built the same way own different
registry instances, and observing 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). Both restores byte-identical.

…servation

CodeRabbit thread 4226780785 (Major) on PR Zoo-Code-Org#1917.

The apply_patch hunk read called observe(absolutePath, preReadToken, false)
even when the prior observation described an OLDER version, so the tool
refreshed a stale authorization onto the version it had just read. The guarded
"edit" publish then passed its compare-and-swap against a version the model
never read: a patch built against v1 could be published over an external v2
without the re-read remediation. ApplyDiffTool deliberately preserves the older
observation, so the two tools enforced opposite stale policies.

Mirror ApplyDiffTool: observe only when there is no prior entry, or when the
prior entry's version equals the token just read. An older observation is left
exactly as the model earned it, so the guarded save fails stale.

Test: applyPatchTool.execute.spec.ts now asserts the seeded ...998 version is
preserved with complete === true, and that the guarded save rejects STALE
rather than merely partial. Negative control: relaxing the version guard so
the read always refreshes turns that test red (1 failed | 21 passed).
…c retained

CodeRabbit thread 4226780789 (Minor) on PR Zoo-Code-Org#1917.

safeWriteText now keeps the previous-content copy when the post-commit
parent-directory fsync fails, and reports its location through
PostCommitDurabilityError.backupPath, so the caller owns that file.
safeWriteJson always passes backup:true but never handled the error: the
generic catch logged "Operation failed" and rethrew, leaving a hidden
.safeWriteText.bak_* copy beside the target for every affected write, and
telling callers such as TaskHistoryStore that a write had failed when the new
JSON was already committed at the target.

Catch PostCommitDurabilityError around the safeWriteText call: release the
reported backup best-effort, log the durability caveat, and return, because
the content really is at the target. Every other error keeps the existing
failure path.

Test: new utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.postCommitDurability.spec.ts drives a
parent-directory open failure through safeWriteJson against a real temp
directory, and asserts the caller's result, that the failure actually fired,
and that no backup or staging residue is left; a second test pins that a
pre-commit failure still rejects. Negative controls: dropping the backup
release turns the first test red, and swallowing every error turns the second
red (1 failed | 1 passed each).
… a teardown it does not own

Port of `0974ad534` (U8, Zoo-Code-Org#1916) to U9. Same defect, open on four units at their current heads -
Zoo-Code-Org#1915 (U6), Zoo-Code-Org#1916 (U8), Zoo-Code-Org#1917 (U9, this PR), Zoo-Code-Org#1918 (U7) - and DiffViewProvider.ts already
carries four distinct blobs across those heads (82b5857 / 44049b5 / 854569b /
15f032a). Authored once in 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
#41 traces every copy back to `0974ad534`.

Task.disposeOnce() can reach revertChanges() while saveChanges() owns its post-publish
teardown. runTeardown() made the caller a waiter and returned false, revertChanges() then
skipped its finalization, and the save's own pass closes the views and restores the tabs but
never resets - the tool caller that owns the provider lifecycle may never come back after a
disposal. The provider was left with isEditing true and activeDiffEditor retained.

- 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.

Port adaptations for this unit (this branch's runTeardown takes a second `finalize` argument,
which U8's does not):
- The finalization decision is a recorded flag, `teardownPassResets`, set inside
  revertChanges()'s own finalize step and cleared when a pass starts - not U8's
  `isEditing || activeDiffEditor` state check. On this branch the rejected save's discard pass
  also passes a finalize (it restores the preview tabs but does not reset), so "has a finalize
  step" is not the same question as "closes the session", and a state check would let a waiter
  reset a session the owner had already closed.
- No `ownedTeardown` result check exists in this unit's saveChanges(), so the source commit's
  `!ownedTeardown` block was not ported; only the cancellation bail-out was added there.

Verification 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.

…ed, not as a completed deletion

Pre-merge row (Persistence Integrity, error) on this PR: `removeTaskFile` wrapped three different
operations in one `try` and read any ENOENT out of it as "the file is gone". The lock-key
resolution, the lock acquisition and the unlink all report ENOENT for different things, so a
failure that left the file on disk evicted the cache entry and wrote the store through - the next
reconciliation then contradicted the deletion the caller was told about.

- The three stages are separated. A lock key that cannot be computed, and a lock that cannot be
  taken, are reported with a reason naming the stage; only the unlink's own result can prove the
  file is gone.
- The unlink's outcome is captured inside the locked operation, because `withFileLock` rethrows the
  operation's error unchanged: a lock failure and an unlink failure otherwise arrive at the same
  place and cannot be told apart by their error code.
- A lock that could not be taken at all is settled by asking the named path directly (lstat, which
  does not follow a symlink). proper-lockfile creates `<key>.lock` with mkdir, and that reports
  ENOENT both when the directory that would hold the file is gone - nothing to delete - and when
  the key is an alias whose referent is missing while the named file is still right there. The
  lock's errno says nothing about the file, so it cannot be the evidence.
- The cache entry and the write-through are preserved on every failure, and `deleteMany` still
  attempts the rest of the batch.

Tests: two new cases - a lock key that cannot be resolved (a propagated, non-ENOENT realpath
failure: `canonicalDirKey` walks up to the nearest existing ancestor for a missing directory, so
"not there" is a key it can still compute) and an ENOENT from lock acquisition. Both assert the
item stays in the cache, no write-through happens, and the reported reason names the stage.
Red first: 2 failed | 15 passed. Green: 17 passed in the spec, 195 across `core/task-persistence`.
Negative controls, one-to-one: treating a resolution failure as deleted -> exactly the resolution
test fails; tolerating a lock-stage ENOENT -> exactly the lock test fails; removing the lstat
evidence step -> the two pre-existing "missing file is a completed deletion" cases fail, which is
what keeps the idempotent path honest; the whole method back to the original single-catch shape ->
exactly the two new tests fail. Mutants restored byte-exactly and re-run at 17 passed.
`tsc --noEmit` stays at this unit's 50-error baseline with no error in either touched file; eslint
`--max-warnings=0` clean on both; `src/eslint-suppressions.json` untouched.
Two artifacts of merging org main a101c61, both of the kind that only exist in the merged tree:

1. src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts carried the same import twice - "import type { Task } from "../../task/Task"" at line 21 and again at line 26, one from each side of the merge. oxc reports it as [PARSE_ERROR] Identifier 'Task' has already been declared, which kills the whole file before a single test runs: vitest then says "Tests no tests" and CI's unit-test job is red with no failing test to point at. The second occurrence is removed; the first, in the type-import block, is the one the file's own ordering keeps.

2. This branch carries the hasClippedLines field (5 uses in src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts) and main added src/integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader-unicode.spec.ts, which pins the whole reader result with toEqual - a second-class merge conflict git cannot see. The spec's expectations learn the field, matching production: true for the two clipped-line cases, false for empty input and for both reader-error results. The spec's intent is untouched. Contract change to an existing test, stated explicitly: it pinned the pre-merge shape. numstat 6/0. The negative control was measured on the U6 branch (forcing the production flag to false turns exactly the two clipped-line tests red).

src/eslint-suppressions.json is re-pruned after the merge, as both sides' violation counts move: the only real change is core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any 96 -> 94 (a decrease, from the duplicate import removal and main's own edits to that file); the rest of the 1731/1731 numstat is the file's own re-serialization. Verified by comparing the parsed files leaf by leaf: one changed leaf, zero increases. eslint . --ext=ts --max-warnings=0 is exit 0 on the merged tree after this (it exits 2 with the stale counts, in both directions).
…helpers, dead code and test hygiene

Six of the seven open threads on this PR, each with the disposition the code justified rather than the row text assumed:

1. safeWriteJson reused a private copy of the errno-code test (_scopeErrorCode) and a third inline copy of the same check (isAbsent). errorCode is now exported from safeWriteText and used for both, so the question of whether an error is ENOENT has one answer in the tree. _resolveScopeRoot is deliberately NOT folded into canonicalDirKey: canonicalDirKey canonicalizes the PARENT of a file and re-joins its name, while the scope root is a directory canonicalized as itself, and at the filesystem root it falls back to the lexical spelling rather than throwing. Folding one into the other would change which spelling decides a scope.

2. ApplyPatchTool's move path computed moveCanonicalTarget only when the destination was outside every workspace root, and returned early on that same condition a few lines later. The value was therefore always undefined at the publish, and the second isPathOutsideWorkspace call at the publish was always false. Checked before deleting, because dead code and a missed wiring need different treatment: the early return is a deliberate policy (a move outside the workspace is refused with a tool error), so the capture was dead, not missing. It was also not harmless - canonicalizeForApproval can throw, so a destination whose name could not be resolved surfaced an exception where the user should have got the tool error. The capture is gone, the publish passes false and undefined, and the comment states the guarantee the code now relies on.

3. safeWriteJson.test.ts carried two tests whose titles duplicated earlier ones and whose scenarios were the same ordering checks written without symlinks - the comment claimed they existed to run on every lane, but the earlier pair is not symlink-based either (the symlink case is a separate test.skipIf on win32). Both duplicates removed. Note the it( count for this file goes DOWN by two: this is a duplicate removal, not lost coverage - the surviving pair asserts the same ordering, and the row asked for it.

4. TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics used mockRejectedValue where one rejection was meant; mockClear does not reset implementations, so the rejection outlived the test and later tests were decided by it. Now mockRejectedValueOnce.

5. writeToFileTool.spec restored the realpath and outside-workspace doubles after the assertions, so a failing assertion left realpath rejecting and every later test in the file failed for the wrong reason. Both restores moved into a finally, matching the test above it.

6. safeWriteText.integration.spec was titled for the commit rename but passed backup:true, so the run stopped one step earlier at the backup copy hitting the same EISDIR and the commit rename never ran. The backup flag is gone: the failure now happens where the title says it happens.

Measured: 95 passed, 9 skipped across the six affected specs (safeWriteJson, safeWriteJson.lockKey, applyPatchTool.execute, writeToFileTool, TaskHistoryStore.deleteSemantics, safeWriteText.integration). tsc --noEmit with a local paths override: 0 errors. eslint . --ext=ts --max-warnings=0 exit 0, no suppression-count change.

Coverage gap recorded rather than papered over: no test in this repo drives a move whose destination is outside every workspace root, so the failure path this change removes is verified by reading the control flow (the early return on the same condition, and the throw the capture could raise before the tool error), not by a test. A move-path test is worth its own row.
The compile job's Check formatting step runs 'prettier --check .' and lists 17 files on this PR's merge ref (job 114119333176, log read with the ANSI codes stripped - the [warn] lines are the file list, and 'Code style issues found in 17 files' is the count). Every one of them is inside this PR's own diff, so formatting them stays inside the boundary of what this PR may touch. The previous formatting commit covered only eslint-suppressions.json because the log excerpt that was passed along named that one file; the gate checks the full list, not the excerpt.

Formatting only, and verified as such rather than asserted: prettier --check now passes on all 17; tsc --noEmit with the local paths override reports 0 errors; eslint . --ext=ts --max-warnings=0 exits 0; eslint-suppressions.json is untouched.

Five tests fail in this worktree (DiffViewProvider saveChanges default write delay x2, ClineProvider blanket auto-deny x3). They were classified rather than waved at: the same two spec files were run with the formatting stashed and unstashed, and the failure set is identical before and after - same five names, same counts (5 failed / 347 passed both ways). The unit-test jobs are green at this head on CI, so these are local artifacts (the write-delay pair is the known DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS junction difference), not something this commit introduced or hides.
…n give

_verdictAfterLockFailure exists because an ENOENT from proper-lockfile is a report about the lock,
not about the task file: mkdir reports ENOENT both when the directory that would hold the lock is
gone and when the key is an alias whose referent is missing. So the named path is asked directly,
and that question has three answers. Only one of them had a test.

The absent case was already reached by an existing case, and now has one that arrives through the
lock failure itself: the file is removed for real, the lock rejects with ENOENT, and the item is
evicted and written through without it. The uncheckable case had nothing: with the check reporting
EACCES, the item has to stay and the report has to carry both facts - which lock failed, and that
the file could not be checked to settle it - with the check's own error as the cause. Reporting only
the lock would read as a plain lock timeout and send the next operator after a peer that never
existed. The third answer, the file is there, was already pinned.

Negative controls, one per branch, measured in this harness against the production line:
- make the ENOENT answer stop settling anything: 2 failed (the new case, and the pre-existing case
  that shares the branch).
- report only the lock failure: 1 failed, exactly the new uncheckable case.
- that second control run against the spec as it stood before this commit reddens nothing in 17
  tests, which is the evidence that the branch really was uncovered rather than covered elsewhere.

took main's pruned baseline and the unit's earned reductions.

No behavior change: 21 unit specs 709 passed / 9 skipped, eslint clean,
prettier clean, tsc adds nothing beyond the pre-existing local
donor-package drift.

AGENTS.md bans suppression comments in source and the mutation gate
fails any PR that introduces them. The two directives here were
equivalence claims, not fixes; the equivalence now lives in the PR
description:

- the writeKind default StringLiteral ("update" -> "") is not in the
  changed-line selector for this unit's delta, and an empty kind
  dispatches exactly like "update" inside guardedWrite (only "edit" and
  "create" branch distinctly);
- the saveTask operand of the adoption-probe guard is provably non-null
  whenever evaluated (guardedWrite is reached only after the !saveTask
  check above has thrown), so dropping the operand cannot change which
  branch is taken.

Comment-only change: no behavior delta.
