Spec 003 / T054

Add command-level records through an explicit structured Winds-run path only. This slice deliberately adds no shell hook, marker parser, PTY keystroke inference, persistent shell-profile edit, output/history retention, or CLI surface.

Final exact-head candidate

f400f01167c5cf90cbe3235e7477fb98b9213818

Base / canonical main:
1a26fbf2f1d34690d615432e2dba7095a4b6955f

Final compare changes exactly six files:

  • .github/workflows/windows-terminal.yml
  • migrations/0004_shell_commands.sql
  • src/command.rs
  • src/domain.rs
  • src/main.rs
  • src/store.rs

Scope

  • add typed SHELL_COMMAND execution records in the existing execution ledger
  • add one forward-only shell_commands child table containing exact caller-requested executable, argv, cwd, source labels, a durable observed exit fact, and optional observed end time
  • run explicit commands as direct executable + argv, never by parsing arbitrary PTY input or reconstructing a shell command string
  • label executable/argv/cwd intent as CALLER_REQUESTED
  • label process lifecycle/exit/duration only as WINDS_OBSERVED when observed through the directly owned child handle
  • record FAILED_TO_START, INTERRUPTED, EXITED, and conservative OWNERSHIP_LOST states explicitly
  • persist the typed WINDS_OBSERVED exit fact before finalizing the common execution row; restart reconciliation first finalizes any durable observed exits, then marks only still-unproven non-final commands OWNERSHIP_LOST
  • remove the old in-memory shell-command finalization queue so a stale retry item cannot block unrelated later commands and a known durable exit cannot be downgraded to ownership loss after restart
  • treat post-request wall-clock readings as optional evidence: if the clock is unavailable or regresses behind the persisted request/known start time, discard that timestamp to unknown rather than fabricating time or allowing timestamp validation to block truthful final lifecycle persistence
  • when trustworthy wall timing is unavailable, keep duration unknown under the existing common-ledger schema rather than expanding T054 into a timing-schema redesign
  • if owned-child cleanup cannot be proven after a process/wait failure, persist OWNERSHIP_LOST rather than a false success/live claim
  • discard stdout/stderr in this slice; T056 owns output/history retention, quotas, and secret policy
  • keep the explicit-run path parser-free; marker-bearing child arguments/output cannot be upgraded to SHELL_REPORTED facts because T054 creates no marker consumer/channel
  • extend the focused Windows workflow to compile/lint and run explicit-command tests

Reconciled review findings

  • Qodo durable-finalization finding: fixed by durable typed exit observation in SQLite plus finalize-before-ownership-loss restart reconciliation.
  • Qodo clock-error finding: fixed by optional post-request lifecycle timestamps and regressions proving terminal states remain final when wall time is unavailable.
  • CodeRabbit stale-queue finding: fixed by deleting the shell-command in-memory retry queue entirely.
  • CodeRabbit transition-diagnostic finding: fixed; status is validated before timing assumptions, and the old mark_shell_command_exited path was replaced by durable observation/finalization.
  • Marker-test finding: test renamed/scoped as a parser-free authority regression rather than pretending to exercise a marker parser that does not exist.
  • cwd TOCTOU note: the code states the exact guarantee: cwd containment is validated against the current filesystem view and stored as CALLER_REQUESTED; this is not an OS sandbox or hostile concurrent-rename containment primitive. Spec 003 does not claim hostile-checkout isolation or cross-platform directory-handle sandboxing in T054, so no ineffective double-canonicalization or speculative OS-specific sandbox layer was added.
  • Final correctness clock-regression finding: a successful child wait could previously produce a wall timestamp earlier than request/start after an NTP/manual clock regression, causing validation to reject durable exit observation and leave the common execution falsely live until restart. Fixed in source commit 106a51f5c32fc2a6beccdea6b3b8cc41222b27ce by accepting only non-regressing wall timestamps and otherwise persisting final lifecycle truth with unknown timing. No schema expansion was introduced.

Final repair validation

Clock-regression preflight run 31981103947 applied the exact final repair to predecessor 0dc4775e11563e14410cedb680ed765839d9bee5 before landing:

  • Ubuntu 24.04: fmt/check/Clippy + full suite PASS
  • macOS latest: fmt/check/Clippy + full suite PASS
  • Windows latest: fmt/check/Clippy + explicit-command tests + existing persistence tests PASS
  • verified repair surface: src/command.rs only

The repair was then revalidated on Ubuntu under an exact-head guard and pushed as 106a51f5.... Because GitHub Actions classified the automation-authored commit as action_required, final commit f400f011... is a repository-authored empty reauthorization commit with the exact same tree d8821e4f7b8d5a609002bbc96ac9932c2235549c; it contains no source delta and exists only to obtain normal exact-head GitHub acceptance runs.

Exact-head acceptance

On f400f01167c5cf90cbe3235e7477fb98b9213818:

  • quality #318: PASS
  • windows-terminal #100: PASS
  • release-candidate #172: PASS, including SC-001 and Linux/macOS release artifacts
  • Qodo fresh exact-head delta review: CLEAN, no actionable correctness/safety/active-spec issues
  • correctness/safety review: PASS
  • Ponytail review: PASS
  • unresolved review threads: 0

Deliberate boundaries

  • no shell hook/marker protocol in this initial T054 explicit-run path
  • no arbitrary PTY keystroke parsing/inference
  • no persistent dotfile/profile modification
  • no output/history persistence or secret scanning (T056)
  • no hostile-checkout/rename-race sandbox claim
  • no workspace CLI/timeline proof surface (T057)
  • no broad native-Windows support claim (T061)
  • no real Windows+WSL2 integration claim (T062)
  • no daemon/public IPC/plugin/MCP/ACP/Agent Fleet behavior

PR is Ready after all exact-head acceptance gates passed; merge remains guarded by unchanged head/base and zero unresolved threads.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f400f

The PR adds durable command lifecycle records, but concurrent restart reconciliation can still mark a command as OWNERSHIP_LOST after its exit has already been recorded, leaving inconsistent completion and ownership information in the ledger. This bounded correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Focus on command authority/source labeling, direct executable+argv semantics, cwd boundary validation, lifecycle/persistence failure reconciliation, restart ownership-loss behavior, deferred finalization truth, schema invariants, and whether the marker-spoof test genuinely demonstrates that ordinary child output cannot forge command telemetry.

Report only actionable correctness, safety, or active-spec issues on this exact SHA.

Exact-head review of 7c03b769d8b1e9ddd906f9afe976e58a352239e6 for T054 found these actionable issues:

  • High — deferred finalization is not durable (src/store.rs:18-22, 712-757; src/command.rs:150-155). A successful child can exit while mark_shell_command_exited fails; the finalization is retained only in an in-memory Vec. If the process/store is restarted before retry, that intent/result is lost and restart reconciliation can relabel the still-RUNNING row as OWNERSHIP_LOST, despite Winds already knowing the exit status. Persist the deferred finalization (or an equivalent durable completion/outbox record) before returning, and consume it during restart reconciliation.

  • Medium — several clock-error paths strand non-final executions (src/command.rs:75-77, 88-97, 144-155). If timestamp acquisition fails after persistence or after the child starts, the code returns without repairing the REQUESTED/RUNNING ledger row. The child is cleaned up in some paths, but the ledger can remain indefinitely non-final until a later restart reconciliation; after the child has exited, that produces ownership-loss rather than an explicit interrupted/finalized outcome. Every post-create failure path should persist a conservative repair state, or enqueue a durable repair/finalization record.

  • Medium — cwd validation has a filesystem TOCTOU gap (src/command.rs:184-195, 65-71). The code canonicalizes and checks the directory, then later passes the path to Command::current_dir. A concurrent rename/replacement can change that path between validation and spawn, allowing execution from an outside directory (or causing validation/execution to disagree). If workspace contents are attacker-writable or concurrent mutation is in scope, use an authority-preserving directory handle/OS-specific mechanism or otherwise serialize/protect the validated workspace path.

  • Medium — the migration does not enforce the parent execution kind (migrations/0004_shell_commands.sql:1-10). The foreign key guarantees only that execution_id exists; it permits a shell_commands row attached to a TERMINAL execution through direct SQL or future store code. create_shell_command_execution checks this at the API boundary, but the schema invariant requested by T054 is absent. Enforce the relationship with a composite key/foreign key or a database trigger, and consider checks for the allowed source values as well.

  • Low — the marker-spoof test is weaker than its name suggests (src/command.rs:334-365). Because stdout/stderr are redirected to null, the test never exercises a telemetry consumer observing child output; it only verifies that this implementation emits no SHELL_REPORTED event. That is consistent with the deliberately parser-free design, but it does not independently demonstrate that marker-like output cannot forge telemetry. Keep it as a regression test for the no-parser path, but rename/clarify it or add an explicit assertion/documentation that output is intentionally unavailable to T054.

The direct executable-plus-argv invocation, caller-requested command/cwd labeling, workspace containment for the non-mutated path, spawn-failure state, and restart transition itself otherwise align with the stated T054 scope. I found no issues involving shell hooks, PTY inference, profile edits, output retention, CLI/timeline, or broader platform/protocol claims.

334-365: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Document what this test actually proves.

The test name says marker-like child output cannot forge telemetry. run_explicit_command sets stdout to Stdio::null() at line 69, and no code in this PR reads or parses child output. No path can produce FactSource::ShellReported, so the assertion at lines 360-364 holds regardless of what the child prints.

The test is still valuable as a regression guard. It will fail if a later task adds a marker parser that trusts child output. Add a comment that states this, so a reader does not conclude that a spoof was attempted and defeated.

423-463: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the deferred-finalization queue.

The tests cover creation, exit, spawn failure, cwd rejection, and restart reconciliation. They do not cover defer_shell_command_finalization or retry_deferred_shell_command_finalizations. That queue gates every call to run_explicit_command at line 28, so a defect there disables the whole command API.

Add a test that enqueues a finalization for a row that is no longer RUNNING, calls retry_deferred_shell_command_finalizations, and asserts the resulting queue state and pending_shell_command_finalization_count. That test also pins the behavior discussed in the comment on line 28.

Coverage for mark_shell_command_interrupted and for the WINDS_OBSERVED provenance rejection in create_shell_command_execution would close the remaining lifecycle gaps.

Verified:

  • Exit observations are durably written to shell_commands before EXITED finalization, and restart reconciliation finalizes those rows before downgrading remaining REQUESTED/RUNNING rows to OWNERSHIP_LOST.
  • No in-memory shell-command finalization queue remains; recovery is SQLite-backed.
  • Post-request clock failures retain lifecycle truth with nullable timing fields and do not leave non-final rows stranded.
  • Explicit execution uses direct executable plus argv semantics, with NUL checks, absolute executable validation, null stdio, and explicit start/wait/cleanup reconciliation.
  • The marker-like output regression is parser-free: output cannot upgrade authority, and exit facts are labeled WINDS_OBSERVED.
  • CWD checking is correctly limited to the canonical path and current filesystem view; the code does not claim concurrent-rename sandboxing.
  • Schema/API invariants, source labels, exit observation idempotence, failure-to-start handling, cleanup/ownership-loss paths, and nullable timing behavior are consistent.

No T056, T057, T061/T062, shell-hook, or protocol/plugin/MCP/ACP/Agent Fleet scope issues were raised.

  • The clock-regression repair correctly rejects readings earlier than the persisted request or known start, yielding None rather than fabricating lifecycle timestamps.
  • FAILED_TO_START, INTERRUPTED, and OWNERSHIP_LOST repairs remain able to reach durable final/non-live states when timing is unavailable; duration stays unknown unless both endpoints are trustworthy.
  • Direct absolute executable plus argv execution remains authoritative, with caller-requested source labels for intent and Winds-observed labels for lifecycle/exit facts.
  • The parser-free marker-spoof boundary remains intact: command output cannot create shell-reported facts or upgrade authority.
  • No requests are made for the explicitly excluded T056/T057/T061/T062, instrumentation, protocol, plugin, MCP, ACP, or Agent Fleet scope.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Store command details as JSON on executions
  • ➕ Avoids a new child table/migration
  • ➕ Fewer joins for reads
  • ➖ Weaker typing/constraints for command fields and exit observation invariants
  • ➖ Harder to evolve/query (e.g., indexing executable/cwd)
2. Finalize purely from executions (no durable exit fact)
  • ➕ Simpler state machine (single table updates)
  • ➕ Fewer persistence operations on completion
  • ➖ Loses the key durability property: restart could downgrade a known exit to OWNERSHIP_LOST
  • ➖ Harder to prove ordering between exit observation and final status transitions

Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach: a typed shell_commands child table plus a two-phase completion (durable exit observation first, then execution finalization). It best matches the spec’s goals (parser-free intent + trustworthy WINDS_OBSERVED facts) and directly addresses restart correctness by ensuring a persisted exit cannot be later downgraded.

command.rsImplement explicit command runner with durable observed-exit recording +652/-0

Implement explicit command runner with durable observed-exit recording

• Adds a parser-free explicit execution path that records CALLER_REQUESTED intent, spawns a child process, and records WINDS_OBSERVED lifecycle/exit facts. Includes comprehensive tests for success, spawn failure, workspace cwd validation, restart reconciliation, and non-regressing wall-clock handling.

1. Unchecked restart event time 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
reconcile_unowned_shell_commands_after_restart() persists ShellCommandOwnershipLostAfterRestart
using now_ms without validating it against the command’s stored request/start times. If the wall
clock regresses, the event timeline can contain an ownership-loss event timestamp earlier than
ExecutionRequested, violating the non-regressing timestamp invariant used by other transitions.

Relevance

●●● Strong

Matches repo’s pattern of guarding lifecycle truth/invariants; likely to clamp/discard regressed
now_ms rather than persist it.

PR-#29

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
Restart reconciliation uses now_ms directly for the event timestamp, while other transitions
explicitly validate non-regressing timestamps or accept Option<i64> to avoid persisting regressed
wall-clock evidence.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`Store::reconcile_unowned_shell_commands_after_restart(now_ms)` records a `ShellCommandOwnershipLostAfterRestart` event with `created_unix_ms = now_ms` without validating `now_ms` against the persisted `requested_unix_ms` (and/or `started_unix_ms`). This can create out-of-order timelines when the wall clock regresses.

### Issue Context
Other lifecycle transitions either validate time ordering or accept `Option<i64>` and skip event timestamps when unknown/untrustworthy. Restart reconciliation should follow the same pattern: persist the state transition, but only attach an event timestamp when it is non-regressing.

### Fix Focus Areas
- src/store.rs[753-805]
- src/store.rs[1810-1821]
- src/store.rs[1856-1880]

### Suggested change
- While iterating `execution_ids`, fetch `requested_unix_ms` (and optionally `started_unix_ms`) for each execution (or include it in the initial SELECT).
- Compute `let observed = if now_ms >= requested_unix_ms { Some(now_ms) } else { None };` (or reuse existing validation helpers), then call `insert_execution_event_if_time(&tx, ..., observed)` instead of unconditional `insert_execution_event`.
- Keep the state update to `OWNERSHIP_LOST` regardless of whether the timestamp is discarded.

2. Non-UTF8 test path panic 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The new command::tests helper uses Path::to_str().unwrap() when building workspace records from
temp_dir() paths, which can panic on Unix when paths contain non-UTF8 bytes. This makes the test
suite less portable and can fail in valid Unix environments.

Team previously accepted removing to_str().unwrap() in Unix tests to avoid non-UTF8 path panics.

PR-#18

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The test helper unwraps to_str() on canonicalized temporary paths; this panics if the path is
non-UTF8, a known pitfall in Unix tests in this repo.

src/command.rs[264-276]
PR-#18

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`src/command.rs` tests call `to_str().unwrap()` on temp-dir-derived/canonicalized paths. On Unix, such paths are not guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, so these unwraps can panic.

### Issue Context
The production code already fail-closed on non-UTF8 paths (returns an error). The tests should do the same (fail with a clear error) instead of panicking.

### Fix Focus Areas
- src/command.rs[264-276]

### Suggested change
- Convert the affected tests (or at least the helper `store_with_workspace`) to return `Result<_, Box<dyn Error>>` so you can replace `to_str().unwrap()` with `to_str().ok_or("…not valid UTF-8…")?`.
- Alternatively, explicitly assert UTF-8 with a descriptive `expect("test requires UTF-8 temp paths")` (still a panic, but clearer), though returning `Result` is preferable.
