Split unit U4 of 1833, under the plan on this issue (5993969784 / 5994039786 / 5994053776). Base is U2 (1912) per the merge order.

Scope (one gate scope): the read side — what a read records about its own scope, and reporting truncation and clipping as two separate notices.

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): 932 a+d / 105 changed executable lines. Inside both caps.

Verification at this head: 203 passed across the four suites this unit touches (readFileTool 97, indentation-reader, McpHub, Task.dispose + observationRegistry); 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.


Related GitHub Issue

Closes: #1375 (part 4 of 9 — read-scope recording and separate clipping reporting; see the tracking issue for the unit map and merge order U1 U2 U3 U4 U5 U8 U6 U7 U9). Split plan of record:.

Description (how)

  • indentation-reader separates "lines clipped in this view" from "lines omitted from this view", and the native/legacy read paths report the two notices independently.
  • ReadFileTool brackets each read with a bigint fs.stat pair and observes the target only when both tokens match, recording complete so a slice/truncated/lossy view never authorizes a full-file replacement. A stat failure leaves the target unobserved and never fails the read.
  • Task owns a per-instance ObservationRegistry; Task.disposeOnce() retires it (close()) so a read that resumes after disposal cannot repopulate it, and both read paths skip the post-read stat + observation work once task.abort is set.
  • Project-scoped MCP settings writes pass confineTo (the provider cwd, falling back to getWorkspacePath()); global writes stay unconstrained by design. Same change as 256091d3c on fws/u3 (1912) — the unit branches are not cumulative, so each branch carrying the writer needs its own copy.

How to test

  1. pnpm --dir src test -- core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader.spec.ts services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts core/task/__tests__/Task.dispose.test.ts core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts
  2. pnpm --dir src exec tsc --noEmit
  3. Manual check: point a workspace at a repo that ships .roo/mcp.json as a symlink to a file outside the workspace, toggle a project tool's always-allow / change its timeout / delete a project server, and confirm the write is refused instead of replacing the outside file.
    Environment: Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 11 runners; the symlink cases are skipped on win32 in the unit tests and verified manually.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Issue Linked: linked to the approved epic 1375 via the split. - [x] Scope: read-side observation + clipping reporting only; the MCP confinement rows are the same finding re-raised against this branch because this branch carries the writer.
  • Self-Review: reviewed against the current head, not the reviewed head.
  • Testing: regression tests added at the lowest layer that would have failed, each pinned by a local negative control (mutate the production line → test fails → restore → passes).
  • Visual Snapshots: n/a — no user-visible rendered state changed.
  • Documentation Impact: considered, see below.
  • Contribution Guidelines: read and agreed.

Documentation Updates

  • No user-facing documentation updates are required. The confineTo caller contract for safeWriteJson and the ObservationRegistry.close() semantics are documented in the code (JSDoc at McpHub.confineForMcpWrite and observationRegistry.close).

Additional Notes

  • mutation-diff is advisory here; a changed-executable-line cap on a split unit is a maintainer-side decision (see the plan comment 6062420602 on ) — this stack will not split again.
  • The backup: true copy-vs-move trade-off and the version-guard enforcement boundary are recorded once on the plan issue rather than re-argued per unit.

Split-unit issue reference

No approved upstream issue exists for this change. This pull request is one unit of a declared split of a larger change, and the split plan, the unit boundaries and this unit's acceptance criteria are recorded on the tracking issue in this repository: #1991. That issue is the home for this unit's review dispositions and follow-up registrations, which is why no approved issue is linked above.

Walkthrough

The changes add task-local observations for stable file reads, report read completeness and clipping, and add staged text and JSON write paths. JSON writes can enforce path confinement. Project-scoped MCP settings writes use the workspace directory as their confinement root.

Changes

File read observations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Observation registry and task ownership
src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/*
Tasks own separate observation registries. Each registry records file versions, timestamps, and completeness. Task disposal closes and clears its registry.
Read completeness and clipping
src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/integrations/misc/indentation-reader.ts, src/integrations/misc/__tests__/*, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts
Read results track completeness and report clipped lines separately from omitted lines. Full, untruncated, unclipped reads from line 1 can be complete; other tested read modes are partial.
Stable read observations
src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
Native and legacy reads compare file-version tokens before and after reading. They record observations only when the read succeeds, the versions match, and the task is active. Stat failures do not fail an otherwise successful read.

Safe text and JSON writes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve targets and stage text writes
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts
Adds publish-target and lock-key resolution, private staging setup, and validation for caller-supplied staging paths.
Publish and clean up staged content
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.spec.ts, src/services/file-safety/__tests__/safeWriteText.integration.spec.ts
Staged content is synced before rename. The writer preserves existing target modes and supports copy-based backups. It handles post-commit directory sync errors, best-effort Windows DACL operations, and cleanup.
Confine and publish JSON writes
src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts, src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson*.spec.ts, src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts, src/services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json
safeWriteJson resolves and locks publish targets, checks optional path confinement, and delegates publication to safeWriteText. Project-scoped MCP settings writes pass the workspace root as the confinement scope; global writes do not.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a1b98

Read authorization remains intact, but JSON writes now follow file symlinks. A project configuration update can therefore modify configuration outside that project, including global tool-approval settings, when a workspace-controlled link points there.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Project MCP updates inherit newly expanded write scope. If workspace .roo/mcp.json is a symlink to global MCP settings, a project-scoped tool-approval or server-setting action now changes the global referent rather than replacing the project link as the base did. The inspected caller authorizes the logical project source but does not check or obtain approval for the resolved destination. This creates a conditional cross-project configuration-integrity and approval-policy concern.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new write exposure is local to destinations writable by the extension process, but is not limited to the logical project configuration path. A controlled file symlink can redirect a compatible configuration update to global MCP settings, making its effects persist across projects. Workspace-link control and an update action are required; automatic remote exploitation was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A project mcp.json link to an existing global MCP configuration is read as project configuration. A project-scoped always-allow toggle then passes that same logical path to safeWriteJson, which now publishes onto the global referent. Reading through links predates the PR; mutation of the referent through this JSON publication path is the introduced change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Read-file access retains RooIgnore filtering and approval before processing approved files. Publication rejects dangling terminal symlinks and non-regular caller staging files. These controls do not authorize an existing resolved destination against a project boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Canonical advisory locks coordinate JSON writers using symlink aliases and referents. The general withFileLock helper still uses lexical path identity; equivalent coordination for every maintenance caller was not established, although the inspected task-history deletion caller uses its normal task-file path.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep intentional symlink support in the general writer, but require project configuration callers to authorize the resolved destination: reject destinations outside the project policy boundary or obtain explicit destination-specific consent before publication.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

The changed path src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts:443-460 commits a replacement when Windows DACL capture fails. It only emits a warning, although the code states that the replacement may inherit different access rights. For example, a project .roo/mcp.json with restrictive ACLs can contain MCP env or headers secrets. If icacls /save fails, the staged replacement can inherit broader directory permissions and expose those secrets. The same risk exists when DACL restoration fails after commit at safeWriteText.ts:546-558.

Resolution

Fail closed for an existing target when its DACL cannot be read or preserved. Preserve and verify the target DACL on the staged file before the commit rename, or use a Windows ACL API that guarantees equivalent permissions. Do not publish the replacement when ACL preservation cannot be guaranteed.

…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.

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.

The any usage this entry covered is gone in the rewritten file, so the count drops 4 -> 3.
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 confirms it.
The read tools record the observed on-disk version through task.observationRegistry, but the field
was only declared in a later unit, so at this head the call dereferences undefined and the mocked
e2e run fails on the read_file smoke tests. The registry is introduced by this unit, so the field
belongs here.

tsc clean on this unit, 11 observationRegistry tests pass, ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean.
The two any usages this entry covered are gone in the rewritten spec, so the count drops 98 -> 96.
eslint --prune-suppressions --max-warnings=0 confirms it.

Learning: For MCP write-confinement reviews, src/services/mcp/__tests__/McpHub.spec.ts mocks both safeWriteJson and fs/promises. Test caller forwarding of confineTo at this layer for toggleToolAlwaysAllow, updateServerTimeout, and deleteServer, including project and global cases. Real-filesystem confinement enforcement belongs in src/utils/__tests__/safeWriteJson.test.ts. Do not require duplicate real-writer coverage in the mocked McpHub spec when the writer layer already covers the relevant behavior.

Re: three Pre-merge check rows that name the shared write primitive - disposition at c36fd64

Security Boundaries (parent-directory symlink race), Persistence Integrity (committed target deleted after a post-commit
failure) and Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (backup artifact left when the unlink is swallowed) all land in
src/services/file-safety/safeWriteText.ts, which is the guarded-write chain's shared primitive. They are primitive-level and
owned by the chain: the fix lands in the earliest unit in merge order and ports forward, per the ownership record #1991 (comment).

The primitive already carries one fixed defect on the unit that owns it, with ports owed to the units behind it. Changing these
three here would put two versions of one primitive into a stack that must merge in order. The inline thread on that file was
answered with the same reasoning and resolved (reply 4237628815).

The remaining row, Regression Evidence on the bigint pre-read and post-read stats in the read-file tool, is this unit's own
and is not being deferred by this comment.

easonLiangWorldedtech added 7 commits October 10, 2026 23:17
Pre-merge table row "Regression Evidence" (ReadFileTool.ts:220-250, 828-890):
the native and legacy successful-read tests now count the fs.stat calls that
match - correct path AND { bigint: true } - instead of relying on membership,
which the read path's plain directory-check stat satisfies on its own. The
counted bigint stats must bracket the read (one before, one after), and the
plain directory-check stat must stay the only stat without options. In both
abort-before-post-stat tests the pre-read observation stat is still counted
(1, not 0) and placed before the read, while the post-read bigint stat must
never appear.

Load-bearing proof, measured per mutant with the full spec:
- bigint:true -> false at the native pre-read stat: reds exactly the native
  success + native abort tests (2).
- bigint:true -> false at the native post-read stat: reds exactly the native
  success test (1).
- legacy pre-read / post-read: mirror images (2 and 1).
- abort guard removed at each post-read site: reds exactly its abort test
  (1 each). All six mutants restored byte-for-byte (sha256 verified).

Inline thread (McpHub.spec.ts): the global allowlist test picked the first
safeWriteJson call whose path contains "mcp", which can be the
default-creation write getMcpSettingsFilePath makes when the settings file is
missing - it never passes confineTo, so a confinement root added to the real
allowlist write would go unnoticed. The test now names the exact call: every
write to the settings file (endsWith mcp_settings.json) is checked, matching
the timeout and delete tests. Controls: adding confineTo to the production
allowlist write reds exactly this test; with a decoy mcp-named write first,
the old find went red on the decoy while the fixed matcher stayed green
(77/77), proving the selection names the right call.

Gates: readFileTool.spec 99 passed; McpHub.spec 77 passed; eslint
--max-warnings=0 clean on both files; eslint-suppressions.json untouched.
The repo-wide prettier check added on main (commit 667ff58, run on the
merge commit) flags exactly three lines inside this PR's own diff: one
execute call in readFileTool.spec.ts and two safeWriteJson filters in
McpHub.spec.ts, all introduced by this branch's earlier commits (measured
with git blame at the previous head). Each line exceeds printWidth 120 and
prettier wraps it; nothing else changes.

Pure-formatting proof, per the ratified criteria: byte equality after
removing whitespace AND commas holds for both files (McpHub 86088 == 86088
whitespace-only; readFileTool 72964 == 72965 with the single added trailing
comma from the call wrap). No file outside this PR's diff is touched.
prettier --check now exits 0 on both files in the CI view (LF content, root
config); both specs pass (99 and 77) and eslint --max-warnings=0 is clean.
The Unicode clipping spec added to main by pull 1960 asserts the exact reader result
object; this unit adds hasClippedLines to those results, so the merge tree
fails three of its tests. Merging main here lets the follow-up spec update
land as a modification instead of an add/add conflict against main.
…ix unit files

The compile job starts with pnpm format:check (prettier --check . added to
main by commit 667ff58), and it evaluates the merge commit. CI listed
exactly these six files as dirty; all six are inside this pull request's
own diff and every offending line traces to commits of this branch
(verified with git blame at the previous head).

Content is prettier 3.8.4 output only. Proof: for each file, the blob
before and after are byte-equal after removing all whitespace characters
and all commas (the formatter's reflow adds and removes trailing commas);
the only other delta is one redundant pair of grouping parentheses around
an arrow-function conditional body in safeWriteText.spec.ts, which
prettier itself removes. No token other than whitespace, commas, and that
paren pair changed.

No behavior change; no production semantics touched.
The Windows platform-unit-test job failed test:misc on the merge tree:
integrations/misc/__tests__/indentation-reader-unicode.spec.ts, added to
main by pull 1960 (commit a101c61), asserts the reader result with
toEqual over the exact five-key object. This unit adds hasClippedLines to
readWithSlice results and to both readers' error returns, so three of
those assertions received a sixth key on the merge commit.

The offending expectations came from main, not from this branch; the fix
lands in this pull request's own diff because the gate runs on this
pull's merge commit. The preceding merge of upstream main is what lets
this edit land as a modification: without it the file exists only on main
and the same edit would surface as an add/add conflict and make the pull
dirty.

Assertions updated to the shipped contract: hasClippedLines true for the
two clipped-line slice results, false for the empty-input slice result
and for both reader error returns. The readWithIndentation success
results do not carry the field and their assertions are unchanged.

Negative control: replacing the produced value with undefined at the
success site reddens the two true-cases, and at the error sites reddens
the error test; restoring turns the file green (28 passed).
Both main and this branch added the same "import type { Task } from
../../task/Task" line to readFileTool.spec.ts at different positions, so
the textual merge kept two copies and the file failed to collect:
TS2300 Duplicate identifier 'Task' (vitest reported "Tests no tests").
The Windows job never reached this project because test:misc failed
first, so CI had not surfaced it yet.

Kept main's copy (the line main owns) and removed this branch's copy.
Spec passes after the fix: 106 tests green.
…e spec

Both main and this branch edited readFileTool.spec.ts, and the merged
file contains 94 explicit-any occurrences while the merged
eslint-suppressions.json still declared 96 (the byte-identical file on
the pull's merge ref has the same staleness; CI had not reached the Lint
step because the compile job died earlier). The suppression service
exits 2 on suppressions that no longer occur, so the merged tree's lint
step would have failed.

Measured with eslint itself (prune run reported 96 -> 94 for this file
only) and applied as a one-line byte-exact edit; the file keeps its
TAB indentation and trailing newline. The count decreased, never
increased. Full src lint now exits 0 with --max-warnings=0.

Reject an empty or whitespace-only scope root with the existing confined-path

Comment thread src/utils/safeWriteJson.ts Outdated
Both confinement checks in safeWriteJson tested options?.confineTo for truthiness,
so a caller passing "" skipped both gates and the write followed any symlink with
no scope check. The value occurs in practice: McpHub.confineForMcpWrite falls back
to getWorkspacePath(), which is "" while no workspace folder is open, so a
project-scoped MCP write ran unconfined even though the caller declared a scope.

Confinement is now decided once, up front. _declaredScopeRoot returns undefined
only when confineTo is absent, rejects a declared root that is empty or
whitespace-only with a ConfinedPathEscapeError naming the declared root, and both
confinement checks key off the single derived presence value instead of separate
truthiness tests. A declared-but-empty root fails closed before the lock key is
resolved, before the lock is taken, before any directory is created, and before
anything is staged.

Tests pin the empty-string case: the rejection names the declared empty root, the
write does not proceed, the target parent directory is not created, and a
whitespace-only root fails the same way.

confineTo was documented as refusing a write "that a planted symlink would land
somewhere else", which reads as containment for the whole write. It is not. Both
confinement checks decide from the final component as it resolves at their own
instant, and publication is path based - the parent-directory creation and the
commit rename both take a path - so an ancestor directory replaced by a link in
the window between the last check and the rename redirects the publish. Measured
outcomes of that window, on both platform shapes:

- the swapped-in directory already has a file at the target name: realpath
  resolves the target onto it, the staging identity guard rejects the commit with
  StagingPathError, and nothing is written on either side;
- it does not: realpath and lstat both report ENOENT, resolvePublishTarget falls
  back to the alias spelling, and the rename follows the swapped ancestor,
  publishing OUTSIDE the declared scope.

Handle-relative no-follow publication (openat/renameat over a directory fd) would
close the window; this runtime exposes neither call, so the claim is narrowed here
instead of being made true. No new option and no second confinement mechanism:
the checks, their order and their outcomes are unchanged.

The credential-carrying call sites keep the control and state their own limit in
the comment on the helper they call: the case a committed tree can actually plant
is a link at the settings file itself, which confineTo does refuse, so dropping
the option would give up a refusal that works today in order to close a window no
unit can close in this runtime.

Two tests pin the limit as an executable contract, one per outcome, with the
ancestor swapped from the merge callback so it moves inside the window rather than
hopefully so. Against a production that honoured the old claim - a confinement
re-check at the publish - exactly those two tests are red (2 failed / 29 passed /
4 skipped); against the shipped production they are green, because this change
narrows a claim and not a behaviour. Per-call-site mutants of the control each
redden only the test that names that call site (pre-lock check 2, declared-but-
empty root 3, each McpHub confineTo 1).

Local: safeWriteJson, safeWriteJson.lockKey, safeWriteText, safeWriteText.integration
and McpHub together 177 passed / 4 skipped; eslint --max-warnings=0 clean on all
three files with no suppression drift; tsc --noEmit 137 errors, none in a touched
file (junction-donor baseline); prettier --check clean on the three files after the
CRLF to LF rewrite.

The Security Boundaries pre-merge row reports that safeWriteText commits a
replacement when the Windows DACL capture fails - it only warns, although the
replacement may inherit different access rights - and that the same warn-only
shape covers a DACL restore that fails after the commit rename. A project
.roo/mcp.json with restrictive ACLs can hold MCP env or header secrets, so a
publish that silently widens who can read the file is not a save the caller can
trust.

Fail closed for an existing target whose DACL cannot be read or preserved, on the
shape the chain's earliest unit already ships:

- DaclInspectionError (phase "save" | "inspect") is thrown in step 2, before the
  commit rename, when icacls /save fails or the target exists but its access
  rights cannot be checked. Nothing is published, so the target keeps its content
  and its rights, and the failure handler still releases the staged file and this
  write's own staging directory.
- DaclRestoreError is thrown in step 5 when the saved dump cannot be put back, so
  no caller can observe success for a publish whose DACL was not preserved.
- The failure handler keeps the backup copy for a DaclRestoreError instead of
  removing it: that copy is the only artifact still carrying the access rights of
  the file the publish replaced, so deleting it would destroy the recovery path
  for exactly the fact the error reports. Its path is named through onWarning,
  which now carries only that leftover notice.

Tests pin each point at the primitive: the refusal with its phase and target path,
no rename and no warning for a write that did not happen, cleanup counted once,
the restore failure as an error with the dump still unlinked, the backup copy
retained and named, and the caller-staged shape safeWriteJson hands in. Negative
controls: four mutants, one per changed production call site, each reddening only
the tests that name that behaviour, plus a run of the new tests against the
pre-fix production file (10 red, 55 green).
