ReplaceFileW preserves ACLs by merging security information, which may reserialize auto-inheritance state and duplicate equivalent ACEs. Compare the final ordered, de-duplicated ACE policy instead of requiring byte-identical self-relative descriptor buffers.
Update the host-independent binding assertion to expect the namespaced absolute paths that the Win32 boundary actually receives, and align the package and bilingual RFC contracts with the semantic DACL guarantee.
Copy an existing target's DACL onto the empty staging file before any content is written, then publish with ReplaceFileW so Windows replacement keeps the target security descriptor instead of inheriting the broader parent policy.
Keep new-file inheritance and POSIX mode behavior unchanged, retain the already-protected temp when a concurrently removed target requires rename fallback, and translate native errors into Node-style codes for the filesystem error boundary.
Add host-independent Win32 binding coverage, native Windows descriptor assertions, package documentation, and a bilingual implemented RFC that supersedes the earlier inheritance-only replacement claim.
Windows drives only the read-only attribute through chmod and reports
synthetic stat mode bits, so writeFileAtomic's mode arguments are inert
there; write-in-progress privacy comes from the staging dir (created in
the target's parent) inheriting the destination directory's DACL.
Production is deliberately unchanged -- the chmod calls are benign
no-ops and platform-guarding them out buys nothing. Tests guard the
mode-bit expects to POSIX; there is no Windows ACL assertion because an
ACL check would pin OS inheritance plus the machine's %TEMP% ACL, not
this package. Decision and rejected alternatives (explicit DACLs,
Get-Acl/icacls test verification) recorded in the new RFC.
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
New doc-sync gate verify-export-jsdoc walks every module-level exported
name under packages/*/*/src and requires description prose everywhere,
plus @param per parameter and @returns on non-void annotated returns for
function-like exports, public class methods, properties, and accessors.
The parsing + check helpers move out of gen-cordis-catalog.ts into a
shared scripts/jsdoc.ts so 'documented' means one thing on both gated
surfaces.
Deliberate exemptions (documented in the RFC): heritage-declared class
members (the seam declaration is the doc's one home — the one checker
query in an otherwise pure-AST walk), cordis plugin-protocol slots
(name/inject/reusable/Config/apply, top-level and static), constructors,
overload implementations, declare-module augmentation bodies, and
re-export statements (checked at the defining module).
The 203 under-documented exports the gate found at adoption are filled
in this change, so the gate lands green; generated catalogs/graphs are
regenerated for the shifted line pointers.
RFC: docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-06-export-surface-jsdoc-gate.md
Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.
Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.
Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.
The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.
The fs seam split left four pieces of pre-split surface populated on
every call and read by nobody:
- STREAM_MIN_SIZE + FsIoInternals.streamMinSize in dsh-fs-local: the
backend has no read routing (readWholeText/streamWholeText are
separate primitives the caller picks), and the real 10 MiB routing
constant lives in dsh-tool-fs's read tool. Delete the dead mirror and
the knob whose JSDoc claimed an override that did not exist; the
remaining FsIoInternals knobs stay (the atomic-write tests use them).
- FsTarget.inputPath: a "diagnostics only" field every backend and test
fake had to fabricate, with zero production readers (policy and error
messages use targetKey/displayPath). listDir gave children the bare
entry name, which was nobody's input.
- FsEditOutcome.replacements/.replaceAll: replacements had no reader
(the single-match policy is enforced by the FS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT /
FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUND throws, whose message keeps the internal count);
replaceAll only echoed the replace_all argument back to
formatEditOutput, which now takes it from the parsed args. The
outcome shrinks to { version, before, after }, parallel to
FsWriteOutcome's backend-discovered fields. Emitted text is unchanged
for both branches (no snapshot churn).
- FileReadOutcome.limit/.version: formatReadOutput renders
offset/lines/totalLines/truncatedByBytes only, and the fs/observed
emit uses info.version directly.
Backends shed four fabrication obligations and gain none. Doc pastes
(core-data-structures/filesystem.md), the dsh-fs README resolve row,
and the test fakes shrink with the types. RFC moved to
implemented/simplification and amended to the shipped shape
(FsEditSpec -> FsEditRequest name fix; manifest rows needed no change).
The result-time diff card sent view.title raw, so a completed edit/write
of an absolute in-workspace path flipped the card header back from the
relativized `Edit src/b.ts` to the absolute path — the pending card
relativizes, the result did not, and tool_call_update.title replaces the
header. Apply displayTitle to the result diff arm using the diff path,
mirroring the call-side card. Regression test proven red on the unfixed
arm.
Also record the overwrite diff-basis pre-read as a bounded follow-up
(TODO(overwrite-diff-bound) + RFC non-goal): overwriting a large file
reads the whole prior text into memory for a UI-only diff.
