Tracking issue: #1390

Summary

S2 of the file-write safety series (plan: easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#33), part of epic #1375. Stacked on S1 (#1383, version token). Introduces the per-task file observation registry (A2): when the agent reads an existing file, the on-disk version token is recorded against the task. The S4 guarded-write will later compare the recorded observation with the token recomputed before a write to detect "the file changed since the read" (stale) or "the file was replaced" (identity change). This PR records observations only — it does not consult them, so behavior is unchanged.

Changes

• src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts (new): ObservationRegistry — an in-memory Map<absolutePath, FileObservation> where FileObservation = { version: string, observedAt: number }; observe replaces on re-observation; plus get/has/clear/size. Pure in-memory, zero I/O, no dependencies.
• src/core/task/Task.ts: each Task owns an observationRegistry instance — parent and subtask observations are independent by construction.
• src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts: after a successful read of an existing file, records computeVersionToken(absolutePath) (S1) into the task's registry. A stat failure never fails the read — the token is best-effort (.catch(() => undefined)).

Tests

• New registry spec: observe/get/replace-on-reobserve/has/clear/size semantics.
• ReadFileTool spec: reading an existing file registers an observation with the exact on-disk version format; reading an absent file leaves the registry at size 0; subtask isolation (parent task's registry untouched by a subtask's reads).
• ESLint clean; suppression counts unchanged; check-types clean.

Notes

• Cost: +1 fs.stat per successful read of an existing file — the same call the S4 write guard will re-run, now cached per task.
• No behavior change: observations are recorded but not consulted anywhere yet (S4 is the consumer).
• Stacking: this branch is built on feat(file-safety): file version token for the guarded-write path (A1, #1375) #1383 (S1), whose head branch lives on the fork, so the PR targets main and its diff includes the S1 commits. Merge only after feat(file-safety): file version token for the guarded-write path (A1, #1375) #1383 lands (then this becomes a fast-forward).

Review-gate re-trigger (2026-08-30): empty commit a00eef8 (no code change) re-runs CI and CodeRabbit current-head review under the org new PR review gate; the code head remains 2965ad1.

Review feedback (2026-09-14 CodeRabbit cycle): 6b821b2 strengthens both version-token-failure regression tests to assert the read content, not just the path (native: "content"; legacy: "legacy content" alongside the existing path checks). The legacy test additionally points the module-level readWithSlice mock at the legacy content — the legacy path slices the raw read through readWithSlice (ReadFileTool.ts:797) and the mock's beforeEach default ("1 | test content") would otherwise mask what the read produced.

Mutation gate: the branch now contains current upstream/main — the head commit is a merge with current main (7328cbf) as its first parent, the same shape as the CI job's synthetic merge commit. The gate's resolvePullRequestBase resolves a merge-commit head to its first parent, and this branch's last main sync (ba46d1f) predates the gate rewrite, so without this merge every CI run would measure the true PR delta plus every main commit since. With current main in the first-parent position, the gate measures the true PR delta (src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts new file, Task.ts + ReadFileTool.ts changes):

Local preflight on the true delta (7328cbf → 5a4e27e): extension: 8 valid / 8 killed / 0 timeout / 0 survived / 0 noCoverage — PASS (exit 0, digest not stale).

---

Notes on the current head (dd060a4)

Why the merge of main needed no conflict resolution. This head merges upstream/main e943530c8, a 1138-file delta over our base 4f1dee18e. Only four paths intersect that delta: src/core/task/Task.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts, src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, and src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts. Every other file this unit touches is a path main has not modified in that window, which is why the content merge is clean rather than merely resolved - git merge-tree --write-tree predicted tree 4b7828c03 with no conflict output before the merge was run.

Observation keys are absolute resolved paths, and that is a Windows-shaped detail. The tool records the file it read under the resolved absolute path, not the relative spelling the caller passed. On Windows the resolved key carries backslashes and drive-relative components, so an assertion that the recorded path merely contains existing.ts is satisfied by the relative spelling too - it cannot tell the two spellings apart on this platform. The observe assertions now compare against path.resolve("/test/workspace", "existing.ts") (and the legacy.ts equivalents), which is the form that actually distinguishes a correctly keyed entry from a mis-keyed one. This is also why the case reads Windows-specific to a POSIX reader: on a POSIX path the two spellings differ more visibly, so the weaker assertion hides less.

A red on this head that predates the current work. pnpm test:solheim-smoke-ci fails locally on this merged tree. It was tested by reverting the three files this round touched (src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts) back to the merge commit's own content and re-running: the same two assertions fail in exactly the same way with none of the current changes present, so that failure belongs to the merge state and not to this round's edits. Everything this round touched measures green locally: readFileTool.spec.ts and observationRegistry.spec.ts 102 passed, Task.spec.ts 201 passed, check-types exit 0 (11/11 in the pre-push task graph), root lint exit 0, and the lint-suppressions counts on the touched files are unchanged from the merge baseline. The version-token ordering fix is pinned by a test that mutates the file inside the read itself: with the stat moved back after the read it reddens (expected 1:2:300:4000000000:5000000000, received 1:2:300:9000000000:5000000000), and the implementation was restored from a saved copy rather than a checkout.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • File reads now track version information for the files observed, helping keep observations accurate when files change or can’t be fully inspected.
  • Observations can be cleared individually or closed as a group.
• Bug Fixes
  • Failures to retrieve file version information no longer prevent successful reads.

The task observation registry now tracks whether observations cover complete files and supports forgetting entries and closing. Native and legacy text reads capture version tokens before reading and update observations after tracking the read.

Changes: File observation tracking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Task observation registry src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts, src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts	Observations now include a completeness flag. The registry supports forgetting a path and closing, and tests cover timestamps, cleanup, and parent/child registry isolation.
Read-time observation recording src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts, src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts, src/eslint-suppressions.json	Native and legacy reads compute tokens before reading and record them for resolved paths. If token computation fails, the read result is preserved and any existing observation is removed. Tests cover token timing, read failures, and tracker rejection.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 12e59

Reads are not currently guarded by these observations, but the cold-start tests should verify that a failed token lookup leaves the registry empty. This is bounded follow-up rather than a current write-safety failure.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 0cb75

The change does not enable new file-write authority. However, a file changing between the content read and version lookup can produce an observation that does not describe the returned content, limiting its suitability for later write-safety checks.

Retained concerns

• Low · security · inferred: The new observation producer can pair returned content with a later file version or replacement identity. Native and legacy reads obtain bytes first, then compute a token through an independent pathname stat. A process already able to modify or replace that file can intervene between those operations. These records therefore do not establish the read-version binding expected by the planned write-safety control. Observations are currently recording-only, so this is not a demonstrated bypass of an active write guard.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated integrity issue is bounded to observations for successfully read text paths in an affected Task. Triggering replacement requires existing ability to modify the relevant filesystem path. Separate registry instances prevent this state from automatically propagating into parent or subtask observations; no cross-service privilege expansion is established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A filesystem mutator can replace or change a file after its bytes are read but before the subsequent pathname stat. The observation can then describe the later file while the result contains earlier content. The introduced effect is inaccurate read-version evidence, not a demonstrated unauthorized write: the registry documents future consumption, and inspected production references contain only ownership and observe/forget calls.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Agent-supplied native arguments reach ReadFileTool through the existing tool handler. Ignore validation and the read-approval flow precede filesystem access and observation updates; the added registry does not itself perform filesystem operations or authorize access.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The inspected presenter rejects entry after task abort, uses a per-task presentation lock, and awaits the read tool before releasing that lock. This counters overlapping normal presenter executions, but does not bind observations to returned bytes or establish cancellation of an already-running token lookup.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before making observations authoritative for guarded writes, define a stable content-and-identity observation protocol that detects modification or replacement during the read. Treat an unstable observation as unavailable rather than fresh, and explicitly define interruption and recovery semantics for observation ownership.

Explanation

The description explains the linked issues, implementation, testing, stacking, and known validation results. It is mostly complete, but it does not use the required template headings and omits the completed pre-submission checklist, explicit documentation-impact decision, and contributor contact.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path meets the stated security failure conditions. The new version-token calls run after the existing read access and approval checks. The registry stores file metadata in memory and has no current write-guard consumer.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path meets the failure conditions. The changes add awaited version-token reads and update an in-memory registry. The registry has no production write-guard consumer in the inspected code.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

No changed lifecycle path was found that leaks resources or duplicates work. Task.disposeOnce() closes the registry, and a closed registry rejects late observations. The disposal test covers both conditions. Prior failure addressed: Task.ts:3784 closes the registry. observationRegistry.ts:44-48,80-83 clears its entries and rejects later observations. Task.dispose.test.ts:149-168 checks both behaviors.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

Partial-read observation coverage is missing. The new observeReadVersion call records complete: true by default even for sliced or truncated reads. The existing slice and legacy line-range tests do not check the observation's completeness. The registry defines partial reads as incomplete. The previous legacy token-order concern is addressed by the new ordering test at readFileTool.spec.ts:2075-2108.

Resolution

Record the actual read completeness. Add focused native and legacy tests that assert incomplete observations for partial reads and complete observations for full reads.

src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts (1)

812-813: Keep the legacy observation consistent with returned content.

fs.readFile returns content before Line 812 obtains the token. If the file changes in that interval, this path stores version B while it returns content from version A. A future guard can then accept version B and overwrite an unseen edit.

This duplicates the existing post-read token race finding for the native path. Apply the same coherent read-and-observe fix to this legacy path.

Issue #2415 lists this PR with eight others under exactly this condition and names the four logins whose approval these PRs also need (require_code_owner_review is true and the only CODEOWNERS rule is the catch-all * @taltas @JamesRobert20 @navedmerchant @edelauna). Dismissing 5795622045 is the whole remaining author-side action on this PR. No campaign lane self-approves its own work.

As read at 2026-11-10T16:27:04.066Z, this PR carries 7 campaign-authored issue comments (18 issue comments in all) and none of them states a position toward that human change-request row or asks the maintainers to dismiss or re-review it - they are review triggers, review-thread dispositions and job explanations. So this pointer is this PR's only routing artifact, and no second one will be added.

Nothing else changes from this comment: no label edit (the review-state labels are set by the repository's own reducer), no review trigger, no re-request, no approval, no push.

@coderabbitai review

Refresh of the first rebased unit. The branch was replayed onto main's tip 53cb5b5 and the head under review is 12e591f, so this head carries main's content everywhere main was the only mover and this unit's own content where main does not carry it.

Measured at that head by scripts/stryker-diff.mjs as it sits there, 30,108 bytes sha256 head c332971815aecfaf, printing both base and merge base as 53cb5b5: 10 changed executable lines in the extension package, advisories 0, sitting in src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts at lines 68 and 69 and src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts at lines 221, 228, 781, 814, 844, 845, 846 and 848. CI agrees on the head it ran: mutation-diff row 130299290743 completed with conclusion success between 03:22:37Z and 03:29:49Z, and all six required contexts came back success on that head.

Requested because the CodeRabbit row on that head reads skipped rather than reviewed, which follows from the repo's .coderabbit.yaml setting auto_review enabled false at lines 28 and 29, so no reviewer has read the head that passed CI. Review state on this pull is 46 rows with 0 live approvals, so there is nothing here that a re-review would discard.

Adjudication against the blob GitHub serves at head e2567c76224ffd47598284be624c94da5d4f726d (15 commits, 7 files, 556 additions / 65 deletions). Every number below is a line in the file as served at that oid, read off-API; none is taken from the diff as it stood when the comment was written. Nothing here resolves a thread, and nothing here answers a banner.

The 13 asks from the human reviewer

• 4475271891 - token before the read, native and legacy. Satisfied. src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts:221 computes the token, :222 is the read; :781 computes it, :782 is the legacy read. The record happens after the read returns, at :228 and :814, through the single helper at :844. Pinned by src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts:1749 (flips the mocked file inside the read, asserts the pre-read token at :1782 and that the read had started at :1783) and :2077 (legacy: readStarted at :2087/:2095, token asserted at :2109, start flag at :2110).
• 4475271894 - assert the absolute path, not a substring. Satisfied. readFileTool.spec.ts:1741 and :2034 assert toBe(path.resolve(...)). toContain("existing.ts") and toContain("legacy.ts") against the observed key: 0 occurrences at this head.
• 4475271897 - full bigint stats in the default mock, plus the tool-failure flag. Satisfied. The beforeEach stat mock is makeStats() (:219), defined at :199 with the bigint fields at :202-206. didToolFailInCurrentTurn is asserted 19 times in the file, including :1810 and :1842 in the two rows that exercise the paths this thread is about.
• 4475271900 - the stale-entry rule in one place. Satisfied. ReadFileTool.ts:844 is the only definition; observe at :846, forget at :848, one call site on each read path (:228, :814).
• 4475271904 - drop the ticket tag. Satisfied. plan #33, epic #1375 and #1375 occur 0 times in src/core/tools/ReadFileTool.ts at this head.
• 4475271909 - fake timers and an exact observedAt. Satisfied. src/core/task/__tests__/observationRegistry.spec.ts:9-10 pins the clock to one UTC instant and :17 asserts that instant exactly.
• 4475271913 - fail the bigint call rather than a call count, and stop copying the stats literal. Satisfied. options?.bigint === true at :1862, :1910, :1948, :2018; statCalls % 2 0 occurrences; makeStats() called at 7 sites (:219, :1728, :1860, :1898, :1946, :1998, :2055).
• 4488930500 - the legacy path needs the ordering test too. Satisfied. readFileTool.spec.ts:2077 "the legacy path takes its token before the read too".
• 4488930505 - a rejection case for trackFileContext, native and legacy. The tests are there: :1786 and :1817, each arming a rejecting tracker double, asserting observe ran 0 times (:1813, :1844), the failure flag true (:1810, :1842) and the earlier token still held (:1814, :1845). What is missing is not a line: the ask was whether dropping the observation there is the intended behavior, and that is the reviewer's ruling to give. The campaign's position is on the thread; the row stays open for it.
• 4488930516 - remove the test that only exercises the registry. Satisfied. Of the 10 rows in readFileTool.spec.ts that touch the registry, 10 drive readFileTool.execute. The fact it duplicated now sits once in each named place: observationRegistry.spec.ts:48 and Task.spec.ts:1766 (:1791).
• 4488930524 - a shared makeStats(). Satisfied. Defined at :199, called at 7 sites, and BigInt( down to 7 literals in 2,115 lines, 5 of them inside the helper itself (:202-206).
• 4488930528 - the stale header sentence. Satisfied. "No behavior change" 0 occurrences in src/core/task/observationRegistry.ts; the header at :1-15 carries only the why and names the consumer.
• 4488930532 - do has, clear, size need to be here now. Satisfied in code. The class exposes observe (:49), get (:56), forget (:65), close (:77) and closed (:82); there is no has, size or clear member, and neither spec references one (0 occurrences in readFileTool.spec.ts, 0 in observationRegistry.spec.ts). The reasoning is recorded in the header at :12-15.

The 10 asks from the bot

• 3869536607 - give every mock task a registry. Satisfied. readFileTool.spec.ts:152 defaults it to new ObservationRegistry().
• 3869536625 - observe successful legacy reads. Satisfied. ReadFileTool.ts:814 records through :846; asserted by readFileTool.spec.ts:2049.
• 3937158741 - restore real timers no matter where an assertion fails. Satisfied. observationRegistry.spec.ts:18-19 and :36-39.
• 3937158753 - cover a token lookup that fails after a good read, both paths. Satisfied. readFileTool.spec.ts:1848 and :1936: content kept at :1877 / :1979, no failure flag at :1875 / :1977, observe 0 calls at :1882 / :1983, path absent at :1883 / :1984.
• 4002542681 - assert the returned content, not just the path. Satisfied. :1877 and :1979.
• 4191123312 - drop the stale observation when a later lookup fails. Satisfied. ReadFileTool.ts:848 is reached from both paths; readFileTool.spec.ts:1886 and :1987 seed an entry first (:1918-1920, :2032-2035) and then show it gone (:1933, :2046).
• 4471662131 - warm-state coverage for the same branch. Satisfied by those two rows.
• 4471662146 - prove isolation at the parent/subtask construction boundary. Satisfied. Task.spec.ts:1766 builds a child with parentTask and rootTask (:1780-1781), asserts the registries differ (:1791), records the same path in both (:1794-1795) and drops one without touching the other (:1801-1803).
• 4533911282 - assert the registry state in the cold-start rows and target the bigint call. Satisfied. :1882 and :1983, with the failure armed by its options at :1862 and :1948.
• 3937158759 - do not treat the token as proof that content is unchanged. Not satisfied here, and not a line in this delta. src/utils/versionToken.ts is not among the 7 files this PR changes; at this head it still derives the token from one stat(path, { bigint: true }) (:46-47) and its header (:17-27) is the claim about exactness that the finding disputes. Whether a five-field token may stand in for content identity is the epic [EPIC] File Write Safety Prevent Concurrent Write Races Data Corruption #1375 contract question, carried by whoever owns the guard phases, and it is not mine or the author-side campaign's to settle in this PR.

Required contexts at this head

Protect Main (ruleset 15494382, enforcement active) names six. All six are completed / success at e2567c76224f, newest run for each name:

required context	newest check run	completed
check-translations	130716791007	2026-11-11T18:17:40Z
compile	130716791654	2026-11-11T18:21:17Z
e2e-mock	130716791086	2026-11-11T18:22:07Z
knip	130716791842	2026-11-11T18:18:15Z
platform-unit-test (ubuntu-latest)	130716792132	2026-11-11T18:21:03Z
platform-unit-test (windows-latest)	130716792249	2026-11-11T18:23:51Z

24 runs report at this head; the only two that are not completed / success are codecov/patch/webview-patch (in_progress) and CodeRabbit (skipped), and neither is in the required set, so mergeable_state: unstable is not a check failure. Mutation: the changed-code run for this head reports no surviving mutants.

What actually holds the merge button

One row: review 5795622045 (@edelauna, CHANGES_REQUESTED, submitted 2026-11-06T04:13:48Z, body 0 bytes), anchored to commit dd060a42c679f6339ebb97d1bf6796ae4252023b, which is not among the 15 commits at this head. Six commits have been authored since it (f6bab47f1cf8 2026-11-07T20:35:06Z through e2567c76224f 2026-11-11T17:53:40Z) and it is still undismissed: of the 51 review rows on this PR, 0 are APPROVED, 3 are DISMISSED and all three of those are bot rows, and the bot account carries 5 CHANGES_REQUESTED rows, all older than the reviews that superseded them, plus 14 COMMENTED. The ruleset wants required_approving_review_count: 1 with require_code_owner_review: true, and .github/CODEOWNERS at main is one rule - * @taltas @JamesRobert20 @navedmerchant @edelauna - so the only people who can clear this are those four: @edelauna approving at e2567c76224f, or any of the other three doing so once this row is dismissed (dismissal_restriction.enabled is false, so a maintainer with write access can dismiss it). The author cannot approve their own pull.

Two further parameters on the same ruleset I could read but could not evaluate, so I am naming them instead of guessing: require_extra_approval_for_unattributed_changes: true while 2 of the 15 commits (a9f0d93dd481, 1e97d74075c9) carry an author email with no platform account attached, and dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push: true which has not moved this row. review_decision and merge_state_status are absent from the pull object as served, so I am not quoting either.

[easonLiangWorldedtech]

Correction to my comment above, issuecomment-6813249317. One of its twenty-three lines is wrong about this head, and it is the line about the one ask that needs a change.

4475271897 - not satisfied. My map marked it satisfied and named readFileTool.spec.ts:1810 and :1842 for the tool-failure half. The ask sits at src/core/tools/__tests__/readFileTool.spec.ts line 1678 of commit 9dc3b155ef57 (the platform records original_line 1678, original_commit_id 9dc3b15), inside the row "a failed read (absent path) leaves the registry size 0 and does not throw", on the line mockedFsReadFile.mockRejectedValue(new Error("ENOENT")).

That row is gone at e2567c76224f. 0 occurrences of its name in the file as served at this head, and .size occurs 0 times in it, so nothing at this head pins what it pinned: no row here asserts that a failed read leaves the registry empty. The two rows my map named are the tracker-rejection rows (:1786, :1817) - a different path, not the one the reviewer was pointing at.

What is satisfied from that ask is its first clause, and only that: the default stat mock is the shared bigint-shaped helper (:199, fields at :202-206, installed as the beforeEach default at :219), so the TypeError the .catch was laundering can no longer come from the mock shape. My count in that same line was also loose: 19 lines mention didToolFailInCurrentTurn at this head, of which 16 are assertions - 12 toBe(true) at :342, :496, :799, :811, :971, :997, :1087, :1696, :1706, :1717, :1810, :1842 and 4 toBe(false) at :1875, :1927, :1977, :2041 - and none of those 16 is an absent-read row.

So the ask still needs a change, and I am pricing it rather than making it. Bring the absent-read row back against a registry, with full stats and the failure flag stated. Measured basis: at dd060a42c679 that row spanned :1790-:1805, 16 lines, 682 bytes, and its only assertions were expect(reg).toBeDefined() and expect(reg!.size).toBe(0). Restoring it plus one failure-flag assertion is about +17 added lines and 0 deletions.

Against the size cap: this unit is 556 additions and 65 deletions, 621 a+d, measured against its own base main@53cb5b5e7c80. That is already past the 400 a+d soft line (rationale-in-body territory) and inside the 1000 hard line; +17 keeps it inside the hard line and does not by itself force another split.
Against the mutation cap: a test-only addition mutates no source, so it cannot raise the valid-mutant count above the 400 that fails the gate, and the changed-code run at this head reports no surviving mutants. The real cost is a push: a push re-runs the review machine on a PR whose review state is what is holding it.

Nothing else in that comment is being corrected, and the merge-button paragraph stands. Nothing here is resolved and I have changed no file.
