Summary

  • Serialize public-evidence mutation among cooperating current builds using an OS-held SQLite transaction, preserving the existing fail-fast response and release on process exit.
  • Preserve live legacy holders and compare file identities using bigint across Lab file safety, recovery, artifact and scratch paths.
  • Document the trust and migration boundaries: concurrent old/new mutators during upgrades are unsupported, and the owner-only Lab root does not exclude hostile processes running as the same user.

Verification

  • Candidate 71f59e97b285a0e23b4c679f43a48c381710ac10: in env -i with temporary HOME, OPENCODEX_HOME, CODEX_HOME, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, and TMPDIR, using Bun 1.4.4, bun test tests/ci-workflows/file-size-ratchet.test.ts passed 9 tests. bun test tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/lab/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/lab/lab-community-mutation-lock.test.ts tests/lab/lab-fabric-task.test.ts tests/lab/lab-post-merge-hardening.test.ts tests/lab/lab-private-file-durability.test.ts tests/lab/lab-public-coderabbit-regressions.test.ts tests/lab/lab-public-file-safety.test.ts tests/lib/file-identity-callers.test.ts passed 182 tests.
  • In the same isolated environment, bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, and bun run structure:check passed. The same tests and checks passed on the clean union with dev 56d9ab4dbcce0f84279f1aea17a56531133e702d (tree 30fbffd9fe31bdc4887f9e6e7588bcd8cc2eb0b1).
  • Independent exact-head implementation review and separate security review passed within the documented trust boundary. The focused lock regression was shown to fail against the previous implementation.
  • Local full suite NOT RUN: shared-host contention; hosted ci:full is the broad gate. A prior local broad test:changed run exited 1 with 85 failures and 45 errors, many timeouts; its attribution remains unverified and it is not represented as passing.
  • Push command: git push --no-verify as directed for this host. Exact-head hosted CI and disposition of the outstanding human review request are required before merge.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Improved reliability of filesystem identity checks, including for files with very large identifiers.
    • Public evidence updates now use a database-backed lock. Conflicting updates are rejected promptly, and management requests receive a retry response.
    • Added safeguards for compatibility with older lock directories during upgrades.

NTFS file IDs can exceed 2^53, where adjacent IDs are equal as JS numbers. Take dev/ino from bigint stats in the Lab mutation lock, private-file stage cleanup, private reads, artifact and scratch directory checks.
Release, stale reclaim and failed-acquisition cleanup move the canonical lock to a unique detached name first and remove it only when the moved directory has the checked identity and the caller's owner or reclaim token; any other directory is restored or left detached.
Release and failed-acquisition cleanup move only their own owner record and remove the lock directory only while empty; detached cleanup skips a live owner; an acquisition whose fresh directory vanishes retries.

Walkthrough

Filesystem identity checks now use bigint metadata and shared identity helpers. Public-evidence mutations now use SQLite write transactions and check legacy lock directories before running protected work.

Changes: Bigint filesystem identity checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Artifact and scratch identity checks
src/lab/artifacts/secure-fs.ts, src/lab/fabric/scratch.ts, tests/lab/lab-fabric-task.test.ts, tests/lab/lab-post-merge-hardening.test.ts
Artifact and scratch checks use bigint stats and shared identity helpers. Regression tests cover identity mismatches involving inode values above JavaScript’s safe-integer limit.
Private-file identity checks
src/lab/public/file-safety.ts, src/lab/public/private-file.ts, tests/lab/lab-private-file-durability.test.ts, tests/lab/lab-public-file-safety.test.ts, tests/lib/file-identity-callers.test.ts
Private-file validation and stage cleanup use bigint file identities. Tests cover path and descriptor mismatches, stage publication behavior, and detection of numeric stat calls in checked declarations.

Public-evidence mutation locking

Layer / File(s) Summary
SQLite transaction and legacy lock policy
src/lab/public/mutation-lock.ts, src/lab/public/community.ts
Mutations use a SQLite BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction with a zero-millisecond busy timeout. The function checks legacy lock metadata before running the callback and removes eligible detached UUID-named copies. Cache enumeration uses a shared predicate to exclude mutation-lock entries.
Lock compatibility and regression coverage
structure/adapters/compatibility-lab.md, tests/lab/lab-community-mutation-lock.test.ts, tests/lab/lab-public-coderabbit-regressions.test.ts
Documentation and tests cover transaction contention, release after errors or process exit, unsafe lock-file types, and legacy lock behavior. Tests verify that the canonical legacy directory remains untouched.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

src/lab/public/file-safety.ts:42-57
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Convert recoverPublishedPrivateFileStage to bigint identity, like its sibling in private-file.ts.

This PR converts cleanupPublishedPrivateFileStages in src/lab/public/private-file.ts (Lines 156-172) to lstatSync(..., { bigint: true }) and sameFileIdentity. It does the same for withPrivateRegularFile in this file. recoverPublishedPrivateFileStage does the same job and still compares numeric fields:

  • Line 42: const finalStats = lstatSync(path);
  • Line 52 and Line 79: const stageStats = lstatSync(stagePath);
  • Lines 56-57 and Lines 83-84: stageStats.dev === finalStats.dev && stageStats.ino === finalStats.ino

withPrivateRegularFile calls this function when the final file has nlink > 1. On a filesystem that reports 64-bit inode numbers above Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, two adjacent inodes become the same JS number. The function then treats an unrelated stage as the final's hard-link witness and unlinks it at Line 86. tests/lab/lab-private-file-durability.test.ts (Lines 32-49) checks for exactly this problem in the publication path. The Win32 early return at Line 41 excludes NTFS, so only POSIX filesystems with large inode numbers can trigger this. The fix is small and keeps the two stage-recovery paths consistent. tests/lib/file-identity-callers.test.ts Line 11 checks only withPrivateRegularFile for this file, so the scope guard does not catch the gap.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-  const finalStats = lstatSync(path);
-  if (finalStats.isSymbolicLink() || !finalStats.isFile() || finalStats.nlink <= 1) return;
+  const finalStats = lstatSync(path, { bigint: true });
+  if (finalStats.isSymbolicLink() || !finalStats.isFile() || finalStats.nlink <= 1n) return;
 ...
-      const stageStats = lstatSync(stagePath);
+      const stageStats = lstatSync(stagePath, { bigint: true });
       if (
         stageStats.isFile()
         && !stageStats.isSymbolicLink()
-        && stageStats.dev === finalStats.dev
-        && stageStats.ino === finalStats.ino
+        && sameFileIdentity(stageStats, finalStats)
       ) {

Apply the same change to the second loop (Lines 79-85). Then add "recoverPublishedPrivateFileStage" to the src/lab/public/file-safety.ts scope in tests/lib/file-identity-callers.test.ts.

On the outside-diff note about recoverPublishedPrivateFileStage in src/lab/public/file-safety.ts: agreed that it should move to bigint identity like its siblings. It is deliberately out of scope here and tracked for a follow-up unit. It runs only off Windows (it returns early on win32), and this PR keeps its scope to the Windows-reachable Lab identity checks plus the mutation lock.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Bind the SQLite transaction to the checked lock file.

withPublicEvidenceMutationLock opens SQLite by pathname, starts BEGIN IMMEDIATE, and then performs only a point-in-time identity check. A same-user process can replace the pathname after that check. The first connection then retains its transaction on the old inode, while the second process opens the replacement inode and starts an independent transaction. The second process can therefore enter a protected callback instead of receiving community_cache_busy, so the mutation callbacks are no longer serialized.

Open SQLite through the already validated file descriptor, or otherwise prevent pathname replacement for the full transaction lifetime. The post-open identity check alone cannot provide that guarantee.

On "Bind the SQLite transaction to the checked lock file": bun:sqlite cannot open a database through an existing file descriptor, so the transaction cannot be bound to a validated fd. Where the guarantee comes from on each platform:

  • Windows: the open, locked file cannot be renamed, unlinked or replaced while the transaction is held. Probed on Bun 1.4.4: EBUSY, EBUSY and EPERM respectively.
  • POSIX: replacing the pathname needs write access to the owner-only Lab root, which means a process running as the same user. Any such process can also edit the cache or the config directly. This is the same boundary as the config mutation lock (src/config/mutation-lock.ts), which opens its SQLite lock by pathname in the same way.

Within that boundary the module creates the file exclusively with mode 0600, rejects a symlink, directory or hard link, and refuses before protected work when the pathname changed between inspection and locking. Whether to accept this same-user POSIX residual is part of the maintainer decision this PR is held on.

Reviewed the complete14-file diff at 8ce3dd5748bf2efffeb22236ce56426d6f1fb065, including SQLite acquisition/rollback/close, legacy/detached bookkeeping, bigint identity consumers and their regressions. The older release-rename finding is superseded by the current transaction-held implementation; it is not an unfixed current-code objection.

One contract correction remains before I can approve: structure/adapters/compatibility-lab.md:171, “Public-evidence mutation, purge and revocation”, presently states cross-process serialization without the migration/trust qualifications already disclosed in the PR body and implementation comment.

The database serializes cooperating new-build holders. An older build can acquire its independent directory lock after the new build's legacy check, so the mixed-build overlap described in Verification is not excluded. On POSIX the checked pathname is also not bound to an SQLite descriptor; the stated owner-only-root/same-user boundary is material to that guarantee. These are acknowledged limits, not newly discovered issues or a request to invent stronger locking.

Please put those current limits in the owning contract: qualify serialization to cooperating builds; state that overlapping mutations by old/new builds during upgrade are unsupported; record the same-user POSIX boundary/owner acceptance separately from hostile-writer exclusion. Also say detached cleanup preserves a live older holder rather than implying every detached copy is removed. Keep the existing fail-fast503/Retry-After and legacy refusal behavior unchanged. The commit's scope/decision should remain reviewable in repository documentation, not only this transient PR description.

The submitted Windows and hosted CI receipts were inspected as such; no new local/native run or scan is claimed. Current green CI does not test away the acknowledged cross-version condition. I am requesting this focused documentation correction and explicit disposition, without raising limits, removing old locks or taking over the author branch.

Owner decision (@lidge-jun): the bounded guarantees are accepted. Concurrent mutation by old and new versions during an upgrade is unsupported, and same-user POSIX path replacement sits outside the hostile-writer exclusion.

Still required: correct structure/adapters/compatibility-lab.md:171, resolve @Ingwannu's CHANGES_REQUESTED review, and an independent security review.

@Ingwannu The requested owning-contract clarification is now on head 71f59e97b285a0e23b4c679f43a48c381710ac10 in structure/adapters/compatibility-lab.md under “Public-evidence mutation, purge and revocation.” It limits serialization to cooperating current builds, states that concurrent old/new mutations during upgrades are unsupported, records the owner-only Lab-root and same-user trust boundary, and says detached cleanup preserves a live older holder. The existing fail-fast 503/Retry-After and legacy refusal behavior remain unchanged.

Focused Lab and file-identity regressions, layout/ratchet/Lab guards, typecheck, privacy and structure checks passed in isolated homes on this head and its current-dev union. Please re-review the contract correction when available; the outstanding request remains open until you resolve or withdraw it.

State the filesystem requirement for shared Lab roots.

On NFS mounts with client-local POSIX locks, two hosts can both acquire the SQLite lock and mutate public evidence concurrently. Require shared roots to propagate SQLite locks across hosts, or restrict mutations to one host.

Update the shared Lab roots documentation near the public-evidence mutation-lock
description to require a filesystem that propagates SQLite locks across hosts;
where that requirement is not met, restrict public-evidence mutations to a
single host.

Document the seven-day limit for detached locks.

A detached copy with a live recorded owner older than seven days can be removed by cleanupDetachedMutationLocks. State that the preservation check has a seven-day ceiling.

As per coding guidelines, a structure document states “the contract that holds right now”.

Re-reviewed at 71f59e97. Since my change request at 8ce3dd57, the PR's own changes are 568c4d6a plus two merges of dev.

The documentation correction I asked for is in structure/adapters/compatibility-lab.md ("Public-evidence mutation, purge and revocation"):

  • serialization is now described as "among cooperating current-build processes";
  • overlapping mutations by older and current builds during an upgrade are stated as unsupported;
  • the same-user boundary is explicit: the lock relies on the owner-only Lab root and does not exclude a hostile same-user process;
  • detached cleanup "removes older builds' UUID-named detached copies while preserving a live older holder". That matches cleanupDetachedMutationLocks (mutation-lock.ts:99-110), which skips a copy whose recorded PID is alive and within the seven-day ceiling.

Fail-fast 503/Retry-After and the legacy-directory refusal are unchanged.

568c4d6a also brings recoverPublishedPrivateFileStage in line with the bigint identity comparison used everywhere else (lstatSync(..., { bigint: true }) + sameFileIdentity). New tests show that a distinct stage with a >2^53 inode is preserved both on discovery and on recheck, and the identity-caller scope test now includes the function.

Remaining CodeRabbit nits, both non-blocking: the "preserving a live older holder" sentence could add "within the seven-day ceiling", as the paragraph above it does. The NFS/SQLite-lock point does not apply to the owner-only local Lab root.

CI on this head is green (all 35 check runs succeeded or were skipped by design; Windows/macOS lanes are dispatch-only per policy). Approving.
