Summary

On Windows, loadConfig() can leave the optional config-root ACL harden in flight. Its inheritance work can drop a grant that a concurrent writer under the config root just applied, so that write fails or ends up with an unexpected ACL (#7815). Earlier slices (#7777, #7826, #7869, #7998) made most awaitable writers wait for the flight through withConfigDirHardeningSettled. This PR gates the remaining awaitable writers that apply required ACLs under the root:

  • Integrations writer (src/integrations/writer.ts). Every coordinated transaction (apply, refresh, overwrite, disable, restore) now runs inside admission on its store root. That covers the catalog fan-out (ocx start, ocx sync, POST /api/sync, PUT /api/settings, the background catalog tick and model-visibility routes), the Aside sync and profile routes, and the integration routes. The store-lock re-probe moved into the same callback, so the existing rule "no await between the last store probe and the transaction" still holds. If a profile appears during the wait, the writer takes its lock and retries.
  • Client disconnect (src/client/connect.ts). Both synchronous phases of disconnectClient admit: receipt writes, remote Desktop store restore and cleanup. A timeout before phase 1 writes nothing. A timeout before phase 2 leaves the prepared receipt, which phase 2 already resumes from.
  • Key rotation. The two remote Desktop credential alignments that run before the hub commit now admit. A timeout at the first refuses before the hub is contacted; a timeout at the second takes the existing rollback. Rollback and post-commit finalization are deliberately left unadmitted, because a timeout there would turn a clean rollback into "recovery required".

On an admission timeout the writer returns a write_failed refusal with a plain message and writes nothing. A timeout thrown from inside a transaction keeps the transaction's own handling.

Behavior without an overlapping flight is unchanged: admission returns at once on macOS and Linux, and on Windows when nothing is in flight. Claude Desktop 3p library publication needed no change: every production caller already admits (#7826), and the library sits outside the config root.

Residual. The Aside late confirmation check runs as the writer's async revalidate before admission, so the ACL wait (bounded by the ACL deadline) sits between that check and the transaction. The writer locks stay held throughout, so cooperating writers are still excluded.

Refs #7815. This does not close the issue: the synchronous writer APIs (saveConfig, persisted mutation, session tokens, service secrets, the spend-ledger lease, the link store) remain and are an owner decision.

Verification

  • New tests/windows/windows-config-root-integration-writers.test.ts: 8 cases. Each holds the parent flight and asserts no descendant ACL command and no store write until release. The writer cases cover the no-lock, absent-home and locked paths; the disconnect case covers phase-1 admission. Each also runs a deadline variant that expects write_failed or ETIMEDOUT. Fail-first: all 8 fail with src/ reverted to dev and pass with the change.
  • Neighboring suites passed: 475 pass, 0 fail across integrations-writer (3 files), aside-profiles (3), hermes catalog refresh, sync-client-integrations (2), client-connect, the dsh writer lock, the claude config-root writer barrier, windows async writers and test-layout.
  • bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check (with structure/config.md updated in place, still within its 600-line budget) and the layout guards: pass.
  • bun run test:changed: see the Maintainer judgment comment.

NOT RUN: Windows real device (no Windows checkout on this host). The barrier tests use the injected icacls runners on macOS. No dedicated test covers the rotation admission sites; review covers them.

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

  • Reliability
    • Integration-store writes now wait for configuration-directory checks to finish. If a write times out before it can begin, it is refused without changing the store.
    • Client disconnect and credential-rotation steps now wait for configuration-directory checks and may fail if those checks do not complete in time.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified the behavior of timed-out integration writes and resumable disconnects.

…fig-root ACL work

On Windows a config load can leave the optional config-root harden in flight,
and its inheritance work can drop a grant a concurrent writer just applied.
The integrations writer (catalog fan-out, Aside sync and profile routes,
integration routes) and the client disconnect and key-rotation Desktop store
writes under the config root still ran without waiting for it.

Each coordinated integration transaction now runs inside
withConfigDirHardeningSettled on its store root, with the store-lock re-probe
inside the same callback; an admission timeout returns a write_failed refusal
without a write. disconnectClient admits both of its synchronous phases, and
rotation admits the two Desktop credential alignments that precede the hub
commit. Rollback and post-commit finalization are unchanged.

Walkthrough

Integration-store writes, disconnect phases, and Desktop credential alignment now wait for config-directory hardening to settle. Windows tests cover admission success and timeout behavior.

Changes: Config-root admission

Layer / File(s) Summary
Integration-store transaction admission

Key rotation recovery on Windows can still write the Desktop credential while config-root ACL hardening is running, which can lose a required grant. The normal rotation, integrations-writer and disconnect paths are covered by the new admission. Close the recovery-path gap before merging, or explicitly accept it.

P2 Badge Recheck the confirmed plan after ACL admission

On Windows, if config-root hardening is still running, settledTransaction now waits after revalidate has approved the confirmation. For Aside, asideLateGuardFor in src/server/management/aside-profile-routes.ts is supplied only through revalidateBeforeWrite, and Aside takes no writer lock. If the profile is edited during this new wait, a confirmed overwrite proceeds against the changed file without rejecting the stale fingerprint. The writer's compare-before-commit check does not catch this because it first reads the file after admission. Keep a synchronous confirmation-fingerprint check inside the admitted callback immediately before mutation; the same ordering issue also affects the locked and restore paths.

Admit the pending-rotation Desktop alignment.

In src/client/connect.ts:386, recovery can align the Desktop credential while Windows config-root hardening is still running. The hardening can overwrite the Desktop store’s required ACL grant.

Settle overlapping hardening after the probes and before alignment. Recheck the rotation candidates after the wait, and preserve the pending operation if admission times out.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Admit phase two before restoring Codex.

For a connected Codex client, restoreConnectedCodex at Line 1146 can restore routing and remove its recovery journal. If a config-root flight then makes this second admission time out, the connection and service token remain, but Codex routing has already been restored. A failed disconnect has left the client partially disconnected until recovery. Move the Codex restoration into the admitted synchronous phase, outside the lifecycle lock, so an admission timeout leaves only the prepared receipt.

Add a connected-client test for second-phase admission.

The test at tests/windows/windows-config-root-integration-writers.test.ts:137-155 stops in phase one. Existing connected-client tests do not hold an ACL flight during phase two.

Start a held flight after receipt preparation. Test both release and timeout. Check that the receipt remains prepared and phase-two cleanup has not started while admission waits. Check Codex state separately: src/client/connect.ts:1145-1146 restores it before the second admission. After a timeout, check that disconnect can resume.

Maintainer judgment (bundle lane: service / platform / link diagnostics)

Value. This closes the remaining awaitable gap from #7815. The integrations writer and the client disconnect and rotation Desktop-store writes were the last async writers that could still overlap the optional config-root ACL flight on Windows and lose a freshly applied grant. They now admit like the #7777/#7826/#7869/#7998 writers.

UX change. None without an overlap. With an overlap that outlasts the ACL deadline, which only happens on Windows, an integration write returns a write_failed refusal: routes answer 500 integration_mutation_failed, and sync and Aside report a per-client failure. A disconnect or rotation fails with ETIMEDOUT before its first write, or rotation takes its existing rollback. Previously such a write could land with a dropped ACL grant.

Existing users. On macOS, Linux and idle Windows, admission runs the callback in the same turn as its final empty-registry check. Behavior is unchanged apart from one microtask and a realpath on the store root. The store-lock re-probe still has no await before the transaction, and the "profile appeared during the wait" retry is the same recursion as before. Claude Desktop 3p library publication is untouched: it already admits at every production caller and lives outside the config root.

Windows impact. This is the target platform. The bounded wait now happens while the writer's sibling .lock is held, which the no-await rule requires. The Aside late confirmation check runs before admission, so the wait sits between it and the transaction under held locks. Rotation recovery (recoverRotationWithAuthority), rollback and post-commit finalization stay unadmitted on purpose.

Verification. The new barrier tests failed on dev (8 of 8) and pass with the change. Neighboring suites: 475 pass here, and the reviewer saw 482 plus 73 pass. Typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check and the layout guards pass. A fresh independent review approved 322df269c2. CI on this head: gates, structure gate, docker smoke, npm-global, storage policy and test shards 2 and 4 pass; shards 1, 3 and 5 were still running at merge.

NOT RUN. Windows real device (no Windows checkout on this host). No dedicated tests for disconnect phase 2 or the rotation admission points. Local bun run test:changed (508 files) ran on a host at load average about 9 alongside other lanes. It reported timeout-shaped failures in server e2e files (server-images, package-tree integrity, routed JSON) before it was terminated. Run alone, server-images.test.ts fails on origin/dev too (76 pass, 6 fail, against 78 pass, 4 fail on this branch), so those are host load, not this change.

Scope. Refs #7815. The synchronous writer APIs (saveConfig, persisted mutation, session tokens, service secrets, spend-ledger lease, link store) remain and are an owner decision, so the issue stays open.
