File-Write Safety — reviewer guide (trial VSIX included)

What this is: one installable VS Code build that composes the entire File-Write Safety series (epic #1375) — version-guarded atomic writes, the per-task change journal, per-write checkpoints, per-step change cards, and per-file / per-step rollback — so it can be tried end-to-end as a single extension.

This PR composes the entire series into one installable build so the combined behavior can be reviewed and tried end-to-end. The 15 component PRs (listed below) remain open and can be merged independently — this PR is a review convenience vehicle for the trial build, not a replacement for them.

Trial branch:feat/fws-trial-all @ 4fc14c48d (all 15 heads merged, additive; plus five trial-only commits — addenda 6a0feb131 + 376e013fa reconcile the composed L2 chat-diff default with the write/apply-patch/edit_file/edit/search_replace spec suites and record apply_diff's own read as a guarded-write observation, addendum 178e6f405 addresses the CodeRabbit round-3 findings (apply_patch self-read observation, mcp_settings merge array guard + spec-mock production parity, safeWriteJson test mock hygiene, webview writeDelayMs placeholder → shared default, ChangeCard no-files step resolution + Tailwind v4 grow, CheckpointSettings sibling settings, Catalan fix), and addendum d2239ceb5 hardens checkpoint restore (checkpoint verification via rev-parse + realpath containment for symlinked ancestors), and addendum 4fc14c48d addresses the CodeRabbit round-4 findings (McpHub.spec unknown-safe error.code guard, exported createInitialExtensionState + pre-hydration defaults test), and addendum 6 (merges aa1a2140c, 3c5dfa32c, 83d83a3bc) re-includes the updated component PRs #1411 (apply_diff per-write checkpoint + change card) and #1412 (change-card open-in-editor control, native button) after the trial-review user feedback; addendum 7 (merges 2bd79a4ac, eaabaa074) re-includes the CodeRabbit follow-up fixes on both: #1411341a9c2 (pre-hydration defaults spec asserts both initializer defaults) and #1412502f8ca (typed VSCodeCheckbox change events + typed settings test doubles).) The installable VSIX is the CI-built zoo-code-vsix-pr-1413 artifact from this PR's Code QA run.

3. What changed for you

3.1 File writes are now version-guarded and loud-failing (P0 + S4)

  • Every write tool records the file's content version at read time; a write whose file changed on disk since the read is rejected with an explicit message instead of silently clobbering.
  • "File was deleted after it was read" produces a clear re-read-and-retry message (no raw ENOENT).

3.2 A checkpoint after every successful write (B1)

  • With Per-write checkpoints on (default): each successful file write takes a shadow-git snapshot; the task also takes a baseline snapshot at task start.
  • Setting: Settings → Checkpoints → "Checkpoint after every file write" (perWriteCheckpoints), i18n in 18 locales.

3.3 Change cards in the chat (B3a + B3b)

  • After each file-writing step, a change card renders in the chat: file count, per-file +/− badges, and (depending on the detail setting) the full diff inline or lazy.
  • Setting: Settings → Checkpoints → "Show full diff in change cards" (changeCardDetail: summary | full).

3.4 Roll back any file or whole step (B3c + B3b)

  • Per-file Rollback button on each card row; per-step Rollback step button.
  • Restores the file(s) to the checkpoint commit the step produced; a file that did not exist at the checkpoint is deleted. Rollback targets outside the workspace are rejected.
  • The card shows pending / success / error states per file, correlated by message timestamp.

3.5 The audit trail (B2)

  • Each step's writes are journaled to a per-task changes.jsonl (torn-tail repair on load). The journal maps files → checkpoint commits and drives the per-step rollback.

4. New UI surfaces — screenshots & guide

4.1 Change card — summary detail (default)

Header: "N file(s) changed this step"; per-file +/− badges; rollback controls

4.2 Change card — full detail (diff inline)

4.3 Rollback states

Per file: pending (progress ring) → success / error; per-step: "Rolling back…" while the checkpoint restore runs

4.4 Settings — Checkpoints section

perWriteCheckpoints + changeCardDetail controls (i18n)

4.5 User-feedback round (addendum 6) — §4.1–4.3 re-shot to include the new open-file control

  • apply_diff writes now emit a change card like every other writing tool (same 4.1/4.2 design, per-file restore included) — previously apply_diff wrote with no card and no restore button.
  • Every file row on a card has an open-in-editor icon (external-link): on diff rows it sits on the CodeAccordion header; on no-diff rows it is a native button at the end of the row (keyboard-activatable). Clicking opens the file in the editor via the existing openFile host action.
  • Addendum 7 is a code-only hardening round (typed checkbox change events, tighter spec doubles, one extra default assertion) — no visible UI change, so §4.1–4.3 remain accurate for this head.

5. What to verify during the trial

  1. Let the agent create + edit + delete files; a change card appears after each writing step.
  2. Edit the same file by hand, then let the agent write it again → expect a guarded-write failure message (no silent clobber).
  3. Delete a file the agent previously read, then have it write it → expect the "deleted after read, re-read and retry" message.
  4. Use per-file rollback on a card → file content reverts to the step checkpoint; the card row shows success.
  5. Use rollback step on a multi-file card → every listed file reverts.
  6. Toggle changeCardDetail to full → cards show the inline diff; toggle back → summary.
  7. Toggle perWriteCheckpoints off → new steps stop taking per-write checkpoints (baseline still taken).
  8. Rollback on a card older than the current task (after a task restart) → correlated failure result, card clears its pending state.
  9. Have the agent apply a diff (apply_diff) — a change card with restore now appears (before this addendum apply_diff wrote with no card).
  10. Click the external-link icon on a card file row — the file opens in the editor.

…ixesZoo-Code-Org#1371)
getMcpSettingsFilePath() created the default mcp_settings.json with a check-then-write: fileExistsAtPath() followed by an unconditional fs.writeFile of the empty stub. Two windows racing at startup both saw the file as absent, and the second blind write truncated the first window's config to the 122-byte stub.
The stub write now goes through safeWriteJson with a merge callback: the read happens under the advisory lock, and any config already on disk (written by a concurrent process after the existence check) is preserved instead of clobbered. The fast path (file exists -> no write) is unchanged, so no watcher-triggered reloads or write amplification.
Test: regression test reproduces the interleaving (existence check sees absent file, locked read sees the concurrent config) and asserts the creation write carries the concurrent config, not the stub. The safeWriteJson spec mock now honors options.merge.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)
Two latency sources on the agent file-write path were removed or defaulted off:
- DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS is now 0 instead of 1000, so writes no longer wait a full second for post-save diagnostics by default. The setting itself is unchanged: users who rely on auto-formatters that settle asynchronously (e.g. goimports for Go) can raise writeDelayMs back up; the comment on the constant documents that tradeoff.
- WriteToFileTool no longer waits delay(300) before scrollToFirstDiff(). The other five write tools (EditFile, Edit, SearchReplace, ApplyPatch, ApplyDiff) already call scrollToFirstDiff() directly, and DiffViewProvider already re-reveals the first diff on a deferred 100ms timer to beat the diff editor's late layout pass, so the 300ms pause was redundant pacing. The delay() import is removed (DiffViewProvider still uses the package).
Tests: ClineProvider spec now asserts the default via DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS instead of a hardcoded 1000. WriteToFileTool and ClineProvider suites pass (19 + 151).
…-Code-Org#1021)
Fire-and-forget saveClineMessages() calls could execute updateTaskHistory() after abandonSubtask's atomicUpdatePair() had already cleared parentTaskId/rootTaskId, silently reattaching the severed parent-child link.
Check this.abandoned before updateTaskHistory() to catch both the explicit abort save and any in-flight fire-and-forget saves. Per-task message persistence is unaffected: saveTaskMessages still runs, only the (stale) history-item update is skipped.
This is the minimal upstream-main form of the fix developed on the local-usage-stats branch (commit 1d1eb91); that commit's surrounding usage-stats changes are not part of main and are excluded. Regression test in Task.spec.ts: an abandoned task's saveClineMessages() persists messages but never calls updateTaskHistory().
Per CodeRabbit review on this PR: the spec covered the writeDelayMs default and pass-through via getState(), plus the save handler, but not the value returned by getStateToPostToWebview(). Add both cases (persisted value passes through; unset value falls back to DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS) so a regression that drops the field from the posted state is caught.
Per CodeRabbit review: document why the provider test double uses the as unknown as MockedClineProvider double assertion (Task receives a full ClineProvider at runtime; this focused unit test only exercises a few methods) — same pattern and rationale as the existing Subtask Rate Limiting block.
Codecov reported 2 patch lines (1 missing, 1 partial) in the safeWriteJson merge callback. Add the three remaining fallback cases: absent file (merge sees null), existing content without an mcpServers object, and mcpServers present but not an object - all must write the default stub. All changed lines and branches of the merge callback are now covered.
CI (platform-unit-test) caught a hardcoded expectation of delay(1000) in the saveChanges no-arguments test: with the new default the no-parameter saveChanges() passes DEFAULT_WRITE_DELAY_MS (0) through to delay(). Assert the constant instead of the old literal so the test tracks the shared default.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)
Introduces the version token - dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs derived from a single fs.stat - a pure function of a file's on-disk state that every process computing from the same state agrees on. The compare-and-swap write guard (A2/A3) will compare the token observed at read time against the token recomputed before a write to detect stale or replaced files. No production callers yet: this is infrastructure for the file-write safety series (plan: #33), part of upstream epic Zoo-Code-Org#1375.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)
Review finding: 'ino is an exact integer' was overstated. Node exposes ino as a float64 number: exact for small POSIX inode numbers, but on modern Windows the file ID exceeds 2^53 so Node's own value is already rounded (verified on node v25: non-zero ino, isSafeInteger=false). It remains deterministic per file (same file -> same token), so the token contract is unchanged; change detection rests on exact dev/size plus the mtime/ctime ns fields. Document the bound instead of claiming exactness.
Zoo-Code-Org#1375)
CodeRabbit finding on this PR: the default numeric fs.stat() loses precision (values above 2^53 are rounded, including Windows file IDs) and the ms->ns derivation introduced a double-precision quantum. Fixed by fetching the stat with { bigint: true }: all five token fields (dev, ino, size, mtimeNs, ctimeNs) are exact BigInt values rendered as decimal strings, with no float anywhere. The sub-ms test now asserts an exact 1_000 ns delta instead of bounded drift, and a regression test pins a size of 10^16+1 (> Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).
…Code-Org#1375)
Flips the PREVENT_FOCUS_DISRUPTION experiment default from false to true so the chat-diff approval path (approve in chat, save directly, no diff-editor focus) is the default. The diff-editor path remains available by toggling the experiment off; the storage key is unchanged so saved values are preserved. Production call sites already route through experiments.isEnabled(... ?? {}), so the flip applies automatically. Test-only changes pin the legacy path explicitly where base mocks relied on the old default.

…eFile targets
restoreFile verifies the checkpoint object (rev-parse --verify; simple-git raw() resolves silently when git exits non-zero without stderr, so cat-file -e would have read a missing checkpoint as present) before the exists-at-commit lookup, and rejects with Checkpoint unavailable instead of deleting the selected file. When the restore target file exists, both the workspace root and the target are fs.realpath-resolved and containment is re-checked, so a link inside the workspace pointing outside it is rejected before any mutation. Regressions: unavailable checkpoint keeps the live file; symlinked ancestor is rejected (POSIX). (CodeRabbit security finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).
…ings, Catalan fix
ChangeCard resolves stepRollback from a correlated result that carries neither filePath nor files (the missing-task shape), instead of leaving the step pending; the three flex-grow utilities become the Tailwind v4 grow utility; checkpoints-changeCardDetail is a sibling SearchableSetting of checkpoints-perWriteCheckpoints instead of nested inside it; the Catalan rollbackFailed reads La reversio ha fallat. UI regressions added for the no-files failure/success shapes. (CodeRabbit findings on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).

…, unknown-safe code read
The mcp_settings merge callback now requires a plain object (!Array.isArray), so an existing mcpServers: [] is replaced by the empty stub instead of being preserved and later rejected by McpSettingsSchema; the safeWriteJson spec mock mirrors the production merge contract (only ENOENT and SyntaxError are recoverable, any other read failure rejects before the merge callback runs, with an EACCES regression); the error.code read in the mock uses an unknown-safe type guard instead of an object cast. (CodeRabbit findings on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).

createInitialExtensionState is exported and a focused test asserts it initializes perWriteCheckpoints to true: a regression that dropped the key from the initializer (rather than from a merge fixture) would otherwise stay hidden (CodeRabbit finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).
createInitialExtensionState is exported (shared with the sibling pre-hydration default tests) and a focused test asserts it initializes changeCardDetail to summary: a regression that dropped the key from the initializer would otherwise stay hidden because the merge tests supply the key manually (CodeRabbit finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).

The hunk reader now doubles as the S2 observation (ReadFileTool contract): stat before and after the read and record the version token when the on-disk version is unchanged, so the in-place modify publish is not rejected as an unobserved write even though this tool just read the exact content the patch was applied to. Regressions: a stable read records the observation; a mid-read change does not, and the publish surfaces the unobserved-existing remediation. (CodeRabbit finding on trial Zoo-Code-Org#1413).
