There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the publication exists but its endpoint is unreachable or the handshake stalls, runtime.authenticate can block for the client's full two-second handshake timeout even if this phase's three-second deadline is about to expire. Because the deadline is checked only after this call returns, start can exceed the documented hard phase cap while continuing to hold the lifecycle transaction lock; bound each authentication attempt by the phase's remaining duration.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
Runtime::authenticate now takes the phase deadline and wraps the connect and
close in tokio::time::timeout for the remaining duration, returning false
immediately if nothing is left. Both call sites pass a
phase_deadline(outer, phase_cap(SPAWN_PUBLICATION_AUTH)).
The close is inside the same timeout as the connect, since a successful connect
followed by a stalled close would overrun the cap the same way — and as you
note, the lifecycle transaction lock is held throughout.

When --payload-dir contains a symlink to a directory, DirEntry::metadata() follows it, so meta.file_type().is_symlink() is false and the walker recursively stages files outside the requested payload root. The later O_NOFOLLOW protects only the final source component, not the intermediate directory symlink; inspect the entry without following links before deciding to recurse.

Not reproduced — declining this one.
std::fs::DirEntry::metadata() does not follow symlinks on
Unix. The documented contract is explicit: "This function will not traverse
symlinks if this entry points at a symlink. To traverse symlinks use
fs::metadata or fs::File::metadata." On Unix it is equivalent to
symlink_metadata — lstat(2), not stat(2).
Verified on this machine rather than taken from the docs:
$ ls -l root/
lrwxrwxrwx linkdir -> ../outside # symlink to a directory
lrwxrwxrwx linkfile -> ../outside/secret.txt
drwxr-xr-x realdir
linkfile DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
linkdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
realdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=false is_dir=true is_file=false
is_symlink is true for the directory symlink, so the existing check catches it
and neither the recursion nor the is_file acceptance is reached.
payload_sources is left as it is. Everything else in this review round is
fixed in a9489c3; if you have a case where a directory symlink does get traversed
here I would like to see it, since it would contradict the run above.

When a generation contains a symlink to an empty directory, entry.metadata() follows the link and reports the target as a directory, making the symlink check ineffective; recursion then finds no entries, so the generation incorrectly passes the subsequent expected/found checks. This defeats the promised complete revalidation of generation shape, so use non-following entry metadata before recursion.

Declining the stated mechanism, though the code did change.
std::fs::DirEntry::metadata() does not follow symlinks on
Unix. The documented contract is explicit: "This function will not traverse
symlinks if this entry points at a symlink. To traverse symlinks use
fs::metadata or fs::File::metadata." On Unix it is equivalent to
symlink_metadata — lstat(2), not stat(2).
Verified on this machine rather than taken from the docs:
$ ls -l root/
lrwxrwxrwx linkdir -> ../outside # symlink to a directory
lrwxrwxrwx linkfile -> ../outside/secret.txt
drwxr-xr-x realdir
linkfile DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
linkdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
realdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=false is_dir=true is_file=false
is_symlink is true for the directory symlink, so the existing check catches it
and neither the recursion nor the is_file acceptance is reached.
So the symlink check was not ineffective and the empty-directory bypass was not
reachable — a symlink to an empty directory was already rejected before
recursion.
The walk was rewritten in a9489c3 for an unrelated reason: it re-resolved
generation_path(digest) instead of enumerating the retained descriptor (the
TOCTOU your later comment 3873334039 raised). The rewrite uses
statat(..., AtFlags::SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) and a match on S_IFMT, so the
non-following intent is now explicit at the syscall rather than resting on a
std contract that is easy to misread.
Added generation::tests::a_symlink_to_a_directory_fails_validation, which
plants exactly your case — a symlink to an empty directory — and asserts
validation refuses it. Worth noting that this test also passes against the
pre-rewrite walk, which is the evidence that the original code was correct.

Every probe invocation emits a magic-context.daemon/v1 object whose command is probe, but release/mc-host-release.json lines 33-38 defines the schema's fixed command union as start, stop, restart, status, and doctor. Consumers validating results against the embedded release contract will therefore reject all probe output; expose this operation as the contracted status command or update the contract and its generated consumers together.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
The contract's command union is closed at start, stop, restart, status,
doctor, and probe was outside it, so anything validating output against the
embedded contract rejected every probe result.
I took the "expose this operation as the contracted status" option rather than
amending the contract: the contract is frozen by U8 and its SHA-256 is committed
into every generation manifest and the U9 input lock, so changing it invalidates
every staged digest. cmd_probe's own doc comment already said it mirrors the
plan's status row semantics.
status is now the CLI verb too, with probe kept as an accepted alias so
existing callers keep working, and USAGE updated. lifecycle_cli asserts the
emitted command is status through both spellings.

When an upgrade leaves a structurally valid current generation from another release or platform, this branch discards the returned manifest after validating only its self-hash and files. No caller checks manifest.target or manifest.release_contract_sha256, so the new daemon accepts and advertises an incompatible payload generation instead of returning an alignment or payload error; compare those committed identity fields with the running binary before starting.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
resolve_generation now calls a new generation_identity_matches on the
validated manifest, comparing target and release_contract_sha256 against
this build and failing as native_payload_invalid on a mismatch. It runs on
both the production selection path and after dev staging.
The target string comes from a new build_target() derived from cfg!, and the
dev staging path now uses it too — the previous hardcoded "linux-x64-gnu"
would have made the comparison tautological on Linux and wrong everywhere else,
so both sides now read from one definition. An unrecognized platform is
unsupported_platform.
inputs_lock_sha256 is deliberately not compared: dev staging writes the
"unqualified-dev-inputs" marker by design while U9 records
production_qualified:false.

When a protected same-digest generation has been corrupted into an empty directory, POSIX renameat replaces that directory successfully, so this early success path overwrites it before the later protected.contains(digest) check runs. This bypasses the store's stated rule that a corrupt protected occupant must remain untouched, including generations protected for a lock-held incarnation; detect an occupied target or use a no-replace rename before deciding whether repair is allowed.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
POSIX renameat replaces an existing empty directory, so the Ok(()) arm
returned before protected.contains(digest) was ever consulted — a protected
occupant corrupted into an empty directory was destroyed by the promotion.
Promotion now goes through a rename_no_replace helper: RENAME_NOREPLACE on
Linux, with an occupancy statat plus plain rename as the fallback for kernels
and filesystems that reject renameat2 flags. An occupied target always reaches
the existing occupied-target logic, so the protection check runs first.
Added generation::tests::an_empty_protected_digest_target_is_never_replaced,
which corrupts a protected generation into an empty directory and asserts both
that staging is refused and that the occupant is still present and still empty.
It fails against the previous code.

When the lifecycle root exists but opening it fails because it is a symlink, inaccessible, or otherwise insecure, this catches every openat error and returns Ok(None). Production start consequently reports native_payload_missing rather than failing closed as native_payload_invalid/filesystem state, masking hostile persisted state and prescribing the wrong remediation; only NOENT should map to absence and other errors should be preserved.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
Two separate places collapsed absence and insecurity, and both are now split:
- The root open went through a plain
openaton the full path. It now uses a
newinstance::open_secure_dir_existing, a no-create component-by-component
no-follow walk that returnsOk(None)only when a component is missing and an
error when a component that exists is not replacement-proof. open_child_dir(&root_fd, GENERATIONS_DIR_NAME)returnedOption, so every
failure — insecure mode, wrong owner, not a directory — becameOk(None).
There is now anopen_child_dir_existingthat returnsOk(None)only on
NOENT.
Added generation::tests::probe_separates_an_absent_store_from_an_insecure_one,
which asserts Ok(None) for an uncreated store and an error for a
group/other-accessible generations directory.

When a payload contains enough files or long paths for the serialized manifest to exceed MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES, staging writes and promotes it without checking that bound and then updates current-profile.json. The caller's subsequent validate cannot read the manifest and reports failure, but the failed start has already left the current selector pointing at a generation this implementation can never validate; enforce the read cap before writing or promoting the manifest.

stage_into_temp now checks bytes.len() > MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES before writing
the manifest, so the run fails as native_payload_invalid with the temp removed
and the profile untouched.
The sequencing you describe was the damaging part: promote_temp returns Ok
on the rename without validating, replace_profile then commits the digest, and
only the caller's validate discovers the manifest is unreadable — by which
point current-profile.json names a generation this implementation can never
accept.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a manifest is encoded with different whitespace or object-key ordering and its directory is named after those raw bytes, this check succeeds even though manifest.canonical_bytes() hashes to a different digest. That permits multiple generation identities for the same logical manifest and makes ValidatedGeneration.digest disagree with manifest.digest(), violating the content-addressed canonical identity used for deduplication and repair; compare the persisted bytes with the canonical serialization as part of validation.

Confirmed and fixed in a9489c3.
validate_in_dir compares the persisted bytes against
manifest.canonical_bytes() in addition to the existing digest binding. The
digest check alone bound the name to whatever was on disk, so a reordered-key
manifest stored under the hash of those raw bytes validated while
manifest.digest() named a different generation — two identities for one
logical manifest, which is exactly what the content-addressed dedup and repair
paths assume cannot happen.
Added generation::tests::noncanonically_encoded_manifests_are_rejected, which
reserializes through a serde_json::Value (sorting keys away from the struct
order), renames the generation to the hash of those bytes so the digest binding
still holds, and asserts validation refuses it. It fails against the previous
code.

When the launcher runs under a restrictive umask that removes owner write bits, mode(0o600) can create daemon.log as mode 000, which still passes this check because only group/other bits are tested. The first launch can write through its already-open descriptor, but the next start or restart cannot reopen the log and fails before spawning; after validating the descriptor, explicitly set it to 0600 as the other managed files do.

The chain is exactly as described: OpenOptions::mode(0o600) is filtered by the
umask, and the security check only tests mode & 0o077, so a 000 log passed.
The first launch wrote through its already-open descriptor and the next start
failed to reopen it.
open_log now fchmods to 0600 through the descriptor it just validated as a
regular file we own, matching how the other managed files are normalized.

The claim rests on "DirEntry::metadata() follows symlinks (it issues stat(2)
rather than lstat(2))", and that is inverted for Rust's std on Unix.
std::fs::DirEntry::metadata() does not follow symlinks on
Unix. The documented contract is explicit: "This function will not traverse
symlinks if this entry points at a symlink. To traverse symlinks use
fs::metadata or fs::File::metadata." On Unix it is equivalent to
symlink_metadata — lstat(2), not stat(2).
Verified on this machine rather than taken from the docs:
$ ls -l root/

lrwxrwxrwx linkfile -> ../outside/secret.txt
drwxr-xr-x realdir
linkfile DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
linkdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=true is_dir=false is_file=false
realdir DirEntry::metadata -> is_symlink=false is_dir=true is_file=false
is_symlink is true for the directory symlink, so the existing check catches it
and neither the recursion nor the is_file acceptance is reached.
So meta.file_type().is_symlink() is not "always false for symlinks pointing at
existing targets": it is true, the entry is rejected, and neither the recursion
nor the cyclic-symlink loop is reachable. payload_sources is unchanged.
Your other two findings in this round were both valid and are fixed in a9489c3.

WARNING: ValidatedGeneration::open_verified_file leaves the returned file descriptor positioned at EOF
verify_file_against_entry(&fd, entry) duplicates fd via rustix::io::dup(fd) and reads the duplicated descriptor to EOF to verify its SHA-256 hash. Because duplicated file descriptors share the underlying open file description and its seek offset, fd's offset is left at entry.size (EOF).
Any caller attempting sequential reads from the returned OwnedFd will immediately read 0 bytes (EOF). verify_file_against_entry should seek the descriptor back to 0 after hashing (e.g. rustix::fs::seek(&file, SeekFrom::Start(0))) or compute the hash using positional pread.

verify_file_against_entry now seeks the descriptor back to offset 0 after the

the first byte rather than at entry.size.
Covered by generation::tests::verified_open_returns_a_readable_descriptor,
which reads the descriptor and compares the bytes; it fails against the previous
code.

WARNING: available_bytes computes capacity using f_bsize instead of f_frsize
In GenerationStore::available_bytes, capacity is computed as stat.f_bavail.saturating_mul(stat.f_bsize). Per POSIX statvfs(3), f_bavail is expressed in units of f_frsize (the fundamental filesystem block size), while f_bsize is the preferred I/O transfer buffer size. On filesystems where f_bsize is 64 KiB or 128 KiB and f_frsize is 4096 bytes, this overestimates available capacity.
Use stat.f_frsize (or if stat.f_frsize != 0 { stat.f_frsize } else { stat.f_bsize }) to compute available bytes.

capacity preflight admit a staging run that cannot fit — the exact case the
preflight exists to refuse.

The deadline-expired case fell through to Err(code) => return code, handing
"module_reloading" back as though the transient reload code were the permanent
rejection this helper exists to report — so a test asserting on the rejection
code could pass on a harness timeout.
There is now an explicit arm for a module_reloading code past the deadline
that panics, matching open_synapse_route's behaviour.

WARNING: Sequential dup2 in child process risks clobbering source descriptors if any standard stream is closed
In spawn_detached, pipe_r, log_fd, and exe_fd are allocated by the parent. If ck-mc-host is invoked in an environment where standard descriptors 0, 1, or 2 were closed, log_fd or exe_fd may be allocated in 0..=2. When the child sequentially executes dup2(pipe_r, 0), dup2(log_fd, 1), and dup2(log_fd, 2), an allocated descriptor in 0..=2 will be overwritten before it can be duplicated onto fd 3 (or stdout/stderr).
Relocate helper descriptors above fd 3 before redirecting stdio, or ensure standard streams 0..=2 are open prior to allocating helper descriptors.
Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.

Already handled — declining, no change needed.
This was fixed before this review round landed, by relocate_above_stderr,
which hoists log_fd, exe_fd, and pipe_r above fd 2 with
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC before the child's redirection sequence runs. Its doc comment
walks through the precise scenario you describe:
If the launcher was invoked with any of 0/1/2 already closed, a descriptor
opened here would occupy one of those slots and be destroyed by the very
sequence that reads it: with fd 0 closed,log_fdlands at 0,
dup2(pipe_r, 0)closes it, and the followingdup2(log_fd, 1)then
duplicates the pipe's read end into stdout.
That is your recommended fix ("relocate helper descriptors above fd 3 before
redirecting stdio"), so every dup2 source is already disjoint from every
target. Your two generation.rs findings in this round were valid and are fixed
in a9489c3.

Addresses code-review findings on the native daemon lifecycle runtime. restart could take a serving daemon down with no successor: - Prove the successor resolvable before committing the stop. `restart` resolved the generation only inside `start_phase`, after the stop was committed, so an absent store, an absent or quarantined profile, or a generation that failed revalidation produced stop_committed:true, start_committed:false, and a hard outage from state that was already observable. A read-only preflight now runs first and hands its digest to the start, so the successor is validated exactly once. - Stop reporting an unknown shutdown outcome as definitely not committed. The host commits at full-frame write completion, so a client timeout can race a commit that already happened; collapsing that into "not committed" reported a serving daemon as untouched while it tore down, and made restart skip its successor start. The outcome is now propagated and settled by observation. Generation-store trust was asymmetric between its two open paths: - `open_probe` skipped the lifecycle-root ownership and ancestor checks that `open` enforced, leaving the production start/restart and daemon paths unhardened. Both now share one validator; an absent root is still Ok(None), an insecure one fails closed. - `read_current` trusted the current-profile selector without the crate's `is_secure_regular` predicate (no link-count or mode check), the weakest check on any trusted state file in the store. Remaining findings: - Classify a quarantined record identically in probe/start/stop/restart. The condition appears as `stopped` when both fences are free and `wedged` when one is held; commands that checked only the `wedged` shape spawned a child InstanceGuard refuses, then reported startup_timeout. The reason is now exported and matched in one place. - Redirect child stdio from descriptors hoisted above fd 2. With any of fds 0/1/2 closed at launch, the dup2 sequence clobbered its own sources: stdout/stderr could receive the pipe's read end, or the exec could fail and surface only as startup_timeout. - Derive the daemon data root from the library resolver instead of inverting the managed layout by walking parents. - Create the managed store directory via mkdir mode rather than a follow-up set_permissions, which follows symlinks; the path segment now comes from the library. - Classify prune removability from the manifest decode alone instead of hashing every file of a generation that is deleted either way. - Drop the unused hmac dependency from mc-module. Adds regression coverage for the restart preflight (daemon stays serving) and the quarantined-record classification, neither of which was tested. cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test -p mc-host -p mc-module: clean.

When restart --payload-dir runs with insufficient free space and no prunable generations, this preflight succeeds because it only enumerates source files; the actual capacity check in stage_and_promote occurs after stop_phase has taken down the serving daemon. The command then returns insufficient_storage with stop_committed:true and no successor, even though the failure was observable before the irreversible stop, so include the capacity/source validation needed by staging in the preflight.

Valid, and declining it here rather than fixing it badly — tracked as
magic-context-w38.
The outage is real and preflight_generation's own doc comment says this is
precisely what it exists to prevent: the capacity check lives in
stage_and_promote, which runs after stop_phase, so a full disk yields
stop_committed:true, start_committed:false, and no successor.
What stops it being a preflight one-liner: resolve_generation prunes
unreferenced generations and stale temps before staging, and that prune runs
after the stop. So space that is unavailable at preflight time may be freed by
the time staging needs it. Comparing required_stage_bytes(sources) against
available_bytes() in the preflight would refuse restarts that would have
succeeded — trading your outage class for a false-refusal one, on a path whose
whole purpose is not to take the daemon down avoidably.
A sound check needs a read-only "bytes reclaimable by prune" measurement on
GenerationStore so the preflight can ask required <= available + prunable.
That is a new store API plus boundary tests, which I would rather land
deliberately than bolt on in a review pass. Filed with that reasoning.
The other seven findings in this round are all fixed in a9489c3.

When XDG_DATA_HOME or HOME contains non-UTF-8 bytes, data_dir_path validly returns that Unix path but serializing the PathBuf into this JSON envelope fails, and the expect panics after generation staging instead of emitting the command's required single result object. Convert this serialization failure into a closed operational result, or use an envelope representation that preserves arbitrary Unix path bytes.

start_phase now matches on serde_json::to_vec(&envelope) and returns

XDG_DATA_HOME or HOME that is not UTF-8, and it fired after generation
staging had already run.

When the digest pathname is replaced concurrently after open_child_dir returns, manifest-listed files are verified through the retained original directory descriptor, but this unlisted-entry walk re-resolves the pathname and inspects the replacement directory. A replacement containing the expected names can therefore make validation succeed while the returned ValidatedGeneration still pins an original directory containing unlisted content; enumerate through the retained descriptor instead of generation_path(digest).

The walk now enumerates through the retained descriptor rather than

While rewriting it I also made the entry-type decision explicit:
statat(..., AtFlags::SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) on each name and a match on
S_IFMT, with subdirectories opened through open_child_dir rather than a

When a payload contains nested paths and the machine crashes after profile promotion, only the staging root is fsynced here; the intermediate directories modified by creating entries such as bin/tool are never fsynced. On filesystems where fsyncing a new file does not durably persist its parent directory entry, recovery can therefore leave current-profile.json naming a generation with missing nested files, so retain and fsync every modified directory before renaming the generation.

On delayed-allocation filesystems, exhaustion can first surface from this fsync rather than from write; that path is currently converted to native_payload_invalid, despite the API promising post-preflight ENOSPC as InsufficientStorage. A normal low-disk start consequently tells users to reinstall the payload instead of freeing storage, so preserve the ENOSPC classification from file and directory fsync operations.

Added fsync_preserving_storage, which maps ENOSPC and EDQUOT from fsync onto
InsufficientStorage and everything else onto the bounded static detail. It is
now used for the staged output, the manifest write, every staged directory, the
staging temp, the generations directory, and the lifecycle root.
The documented contract is post-preflight ENOSPC as InsufficientStorage
(remediation free_storage), and on delayed-allocation filesystems that is
where exhaustion surfaces — so a low-disk start was telling users to reinstall
the payload.

On the supported pre-5.9 Linux kernels where close_range is unavailable, any inherited non-CLOEXEC descriptor numbered 8192 or higher survives this fallback loop and is carried into the long-lived daemon. Launching from a supervisor or shell with a high-numbered socket, pipe, lock, or sensitive file can therefore leak the descriptor indefinitely and keep external resources alive; derive the fallback ceiling from the process limit or enumerate and close all descriptors.

The ceiling now comes from RLIMIT_NOFILE's soft limit via a new
close_fallback_ceiling, clamped to [8192, 1 << 20] so the loop stays bounded
under RLIM_INFINITY. It is resolved before fork, so the child still only
calls close.
The clamp floor keeps the previous behaviour as a lower bound when getrlimit
fails; the upper clamp is there because an unbounded loop in the child would be
its own problem.

When an intermediate component such as ${dataDir}/cortexkit is a symlink to an owner-controlled directory, each pathname-based mkdir reports EEXIST and traversal continues through the link; only the final lifecycle component is subsequently opened with O_NOFOLLOW. GenerationStore::open can therefore create and mutate a generation store outside the requested data root (and the CLI has the same exposure if the absent managed subtree is swapped after anchor capture), so walk and create every component relative to retained no-follow descriptors as secure_runtime_dir does.

GenerationStore::open now creates and pins the lifecycle root through
instance::secure_runtime_dir, which is the component-by-component no-follow
walk you point at — every intermediate must be replacement-proof and is opened
relative to the previous pinned descriptor, so a symlinked cortexkit cannot
redirect the traversal. create_dir_all_owner_only and open_validated_dir_fd
had no other callers and are gone.
The probe path had the same exposure through its own full-path openat; it now
uses a no-create sibling, instance::open_secure_dir_existing.
I also added a chmodat of the generations directory to 0700 after mkdirat,
since the mkdir mode is umask-filtered the same way the components in
secure_runtime_dir are.

When the launcher is invoked with SIGCHLD ignored or relevant signals blocked, fork and fexecve preserve that ignored disposition and the signal mask, while this child resets only SIGPIPE. The daemon can then auto-reap Broca subprocesses before Tokio waits for them, or fail to receive termination signals, so restore the daemon's complete signal dispositions and unblock inherited signals before fexecve.

exec resets caught handlers but preserves ignored dispositions and the blocked
mask, so only resetting SIGPIPE left the rest inherited. The child now resets
every disposition to SIG_DFL for 1..=SIGRTMAX() and calls
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &empty, NULL) before fexecve.
Both inputs are prepared before fork (the empty sigset_t and SIGRTMAX()),
so the child adds only async-signal-safe calls; the SAFETY comment on the fork
block now lists sigprocmask. signal reporting EINVAL for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP
is ignored, which is the intended behaviour there.
The SIGCHLD case you name is the load-bearing one: an inherited SIG_IGN would
auto-reap Broca subprocesses before Tokio can wait for them.
Generation store: - `open_verified_file` returned a descriptor positioned at EOF. Verification hashes a `dup` of the descriptor, and a dup shares the open file description's offset, so every caller read zero bytes from a file the manifest describes as non-empty. Rewind after verification. - `available_bytes` multiplied `f_bavail` by `f_bsize`. POSIX counts `f_bavail` in `f_frsize` units; `f_bsize` is the preferred I/O transfer size, so a filesystem reporting a 64 KiB `f_bsize` over a 4 KiB fragment size inflated capacity by an order of magnitude and let the preflight admit a staging run that cannot fit. - Validation bound the generation name to the persisted bytes but not to the canonical encoding of the decoded manifest, so a manifest with reordered keys stored under the hash of those bytes validated while `manifest.digest()` named a different generation. Require the persisted bytes to equal the canonical serialization. - The unlisted-entry walk re-resolved the digest pathname while the manifest-listed files were verified through the retained descriptor. A replacement holding only the expected names could satisfy the walk while the returned `ValidatedGeneration` still pinned the original directory and its unlisted content. Walk through the retained descriptor, and decide each entry's type from its own non-following metadata. - A manifest above `MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES` was written, promoted, and selected before the read cap rejected it, leaving `current-profile.json` naming a generation this implementation can never validate. Enforce the cap before writing. - `renameat` replaces an existing empty directory, so a protected digest corrupted into an empty directory was destroyed before the protection check ran. Promote through a no-replace rename, falling back to an occupancy check where `renameat2` flags are unavailable. - Only the staging root was fsynced. Directory entries for nested paths were never made durable, so recovery after a crash following promotion could find a current generation with missing files. Fsync every directory the run created entries in, deepest first. - ENOSPC surfaced by `fsync` rather than `write` was reported as `native_payload_invalid`, telling a user on a full disk to reinstall the payload. Preserve the `InsufficientStorage` classification. - The lifecycle root was created with a pathname `mkdir` walk, which reports `EEXIST` for a symlinked intermediate and keeps traversing through it; the final component's `O_NOFOLLOW` does not undo that. Create and pin every component through no-follow descriptors. - `open_probe` mapped every generations-directory open failure onto `Ok(None)`, so an insecure or unreadable store was reported as `native_payload_missing` and prescribed installing a payload. Only a missing component is absence. Lifecycle CLI: - `probe` emitted `"command":"probe"`, outside the release contract's closed union of `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `status`, and `doctor`, so consumers validating against the embedded contract rejected all of its output. Emit the contracted `status`, which is the row semantics `probe` already documented, and accept `status` as the verb with `probe` as an alias. - A validated generation was accepted without checking the identity fields its manifest commits, so an upgrade or copied data directory could leave a structurally valid generation from another release or platform as the current selection and the daemon would advertise it. Compare `target` and `release_contract_sha256` against this build, from one definition shared with the staging path. - `authenticate` was bounded only by the client's own handshake timeout, so an unreachable publication could hold the lifecycle transaction lock past the phase's hard cap. Bound each attempt by the phase's remaining duration. - A non-UTF-8 data root panicked through `expect` after generation staging had already run, instead of emitting the command's required result object. Spawn and serve: - A restrictive umask could create `daemon.log` as mode 000, which passed a check that only tests group and other bits. The first launch wrote through its open descriptor, but the next start could not reopen the log. Normalize to 0600 through the validated descriptor. - The pre-5.9 close fallback stopped at a fixed 8192, leaking any inherited non-CLOEXEC descriptor at or above it into a long-lived daemon. Derive the ceiling from `RLIMIT_NOFILE`. - `exec` preserves ignored signal dispositions and the blocked-signal mask, so a launcher invoked with SIGCHLD ignored gave the daemon a disposition that auto-reaps Broca subprocesses before Tokio waits for them. Reset every disposition and unblock all signals in the child. - The SIGTERM stream was created inside the spawned task, racing `mc_host::run`: a signal arriving first took the default disposition and killed the daemon, so the fenced teardown never ran. Installation failure also only panicked a detached task, leaving `run` serving with no SIGTERM path and nothing reporting it. Install before the host future starts and fail startup on an installation error. Test support: - `open_synapse_route_rejection` returned `"module_reloading"` to its caller on deadline expiry, as though the transient reload code were the permanent rejection it exists to report. Panic instead, like `open_synapse_route`.

On either supported macOS target, /proc/self/fd does not exist, so every complete generation validation fails when walk_generation_tree reaches this helper.

Confirmed and fixed in ee5a737. Good catch — this one was mine.
The previous commit rewrote the walk to enumerate the retained descriptor
(your comment 3873334039), and reached it through read_dir_names, which was
already a /proc/self/fd round-trip because its only prior caller was
remove_tree. That moved a Linux-only dependency onto the validation path,
which had been plain path-based read_dir before — a regression I introduced,
not a pre-existing one.
read_dir_names now enumerates through rustix::fs::Dir::read_from, i.e.
fdopendir(3), which is POSIX and available on both Darwin targets. It still
reads the open directory description rather than a pathname, so the
replacement-resistance the rewrite was for is unchanged, and . and .. are
filtered since fdopendir returns them where std::fs::read_dir did not.
Dir::read_from dups internally, so the manual rustix::io::dup at both call
sites is gone.

When the current generation is large or the payload directory is on slow storage, resolve_generation synchronously stages and hashes every file without consulting outer; the deadline is first applied only afterward to publication/authentication. The command can therefore exceed the documented hard 60-second aggregate and, if resolution finishes after that point, still spawn a daemon before immediately returning startup_timeout, leaving a daemon coming up after the caller was told start failed. Even with authentication now bounded, generation resolution needs to consume the same remaining budget and must not spawn after it expires.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in ee5a737 for the damaging half; being explicit about
what I did not do.
Fixed: start_phase now refuses to spawn once outer is spent, returning
startup_timeout with the generation check still passing (resolution itself
succeeded). That removes the outcome you identify as the real problem — a daemon
coming up after the caller was told the start failed — which is a state no
caller can reconcile.
Not fixed: resolution does not yet consume the remaining budget. Making
stage_and_promote deadline-aware means threading a deadline through the
per-file copy and hash loop and deciding what a mid-staging abort leaves behind.
The temp cleanup already handles that, but it is a real interface change to the
store rather than a review-pass edit, and doing it badly is how you get a
partially staged generation abandoned under a deadline that expired between the
copy and the promote.
So the aggregate can still be overrun by a slow resolution; it can no longer
produce a spawned daemon behind a failed result. If you would rather see the
full interruptible version I can file it, but I did not want to claim more than
the commit does.

When an existing generations entry is a symlink, mkdirat returns EEXIST and this pathname-based chmodat with empty flags follows the link, changing the target directory to mode 0700 before the subsequent no-follow open rejects the store. Thus opening hostile or accidentally symlinked persisted state can mutate an unrelated directory even though the operation ultimately fails closed; only normalize permissions when this call actually created the directory, or chmod a validated descriptor.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in ee5a737. Also mine, from the previous commit.
I added that chmodat to normalize a umask-mangled mode and used
AtFlags::empty(), which follows links — so a symlink at generations made
mkdirat report EEXIST and the chmod then re-moded the target to 0700 before
the no-follow open rejected the store. Mutating an unrelated directory on the
way to failing closed.
Took your first option: the pathname chmodat now runs only when mkdirat
reports it created the entry, which proves a real directory is at that name and
nothing else can be. Your second option alone is not sufficient here — a
directory left at mode 0000 by the umask cannot be opened by its owner at all,
so the mode has to be restored by pathname before any descriptor exists. The
descriptor fchmod is layered on after the no-follow open so the final state is
set on the validated object, which is the same order instance::secure_runtime_dir
uses for its components.
Added generation::tests::a_symlinked_generations_name_is_rejected_without_mutating_its_target,
which plants the symlink and asserts both that the open fails closed and that
the target's 0755 is untouched. It fails when the created guard is removed.

When daemon.log is a hard link to another owner-owned, owner-only regular file, it passes this predicate; fchmod then changes that shared inode to 0600, and the detached child appends all stdout and stderr to it, corrupting the other file. The coordination directory is treated as potentially hostile persisted state elsewhere, so validate nlink == 1 before accepting and writing this log just as the managed state-file predicates do.

nlink != 1 is now part of the rejection predicate, matching
instance::is_secure_regular, which the managed state files already use.
Worth separating the two halves: the daemon appending its stdout and stderr into
a hard-linked file was reachable before this branch too, but the fchmod I added
in the previous commit made it worse by re-moding the shared inode to 0600. So
the finding is right on both counts and the check belongs here regardless of
which commit introduced which half.

When this binary comes from a system-wide or administrator-installed supported package, /proc/self/exe is commonly owned by root while the daemon is intentionally started by an unprivileged user. The executable is still a regular retained object and can be safer than a user-owned one, but this equality check rejects it before fork, so every start and restart returns internal_error; accept a root-owned executable when it is not group/other-writable rather than requiring its owner to equal the runtime UID.

Declining this one — the premise does not hold for this project's
supported install path.
The scenario is "a system-wide or administrator-installed supported package"
where /proc/self/exe is root-owned. scripts/install.sh runs:
npx -y "$PACKAGE@latest" setup </dev/ttyNo -g, no --prefix, no sudo. That resolves into the invoking user's npx
cache, so the launcher is user-owned and exe_meta.uid() == euid holds. The
contract's install_layouts are bun_physical_link, compiled_bun_external,
npm_hoisted, npm_nested — all package-relative layouts under a user-owned
tree, not /usr/local prefixes.
I do not want to relax a trust check on the object being fexecved against a
layout that is not shipped. Your proposed predicate is the right one if that
changes — it is exactly instance::is_safe_ancestor's rule (ours or root, not
group/other-writable), so the precedent is already in-tree. But it should land
with the install.layout contract check that actually declares a root-owned
layout supported, so the accepted ownership set and the declared layouts move
together. Today it would widen the predicate for a case that cannot occur.
Also note this re-exec is temporary: the ponytail: note at the top of
spawn.rs says the retained fd becomes
ValidatedGeneration::open_verified_file("bin/ck-mc-host") when U6/U9 qualify
real payloads, and the generation store enforces st_uid == owner_uid() on
every staged file — so the long-term path is owner-only by construction.
If you have a shipped layout that produces a root-owned launcher, point me at it
and I will take the change; I would rather see the layout first.
… commit Follow-on review round on the previous commit. - The unlisted-entry walk was rewritten to enumerate the retained descriptor, but it reached that descriptor through `read_dir_names`, which resolves `/proc/self/fd`. That moved a Linux-only dependency onto the validation path, which the release contract advertises for both Darwin targets, so every complete validation would fail there. `read_dir_names` now uses `fdopendir` through `rustix::fs::Dir`, which enumerates the same open directory description without procfs and drops `.` and `..`. The manual dup at both call sites is no longer needed, since `Dir::read_from` does its own. - The umask normalization added for the generations directory used a pathname `chmodat` with empty flags, which follows symlinks. A symlink planted at `generations` made `mkdirat` report `EEXIST` and the chmod then re-moded the link's target to 0700 before the no-follow open rejected the store. The normalization now runs only when `mkdirat` reports that it created the entry, which proves a real directory is at that name, and the mode is additionally pinned through the validated descriptor. - `open_log` accepted a `daemon.log` with more than one hard link. The daemon appends all of its stdout and stderr through that descriptor, and the mode normalization re-modes the shared inode, so a second link at that name is another file being written and re-permissioned. `nlink == 1` is now part of the predicate, matching the managed state files. - `start_phase` resolved the generation — staging and hashing every payload file synchronously — without consulting the aggregate deadline, then spawned regardless. On slow storage that spawned a daemon after the 60s aggregate was already gone and immediately reported `startup_timeout`, so the caller was told the start failed while a daemon came up behind it. The spawn is now refused once the aggregate is spent, with the generation check still passing because resolution itself succeeded. Tests: `a_symlinked_generations_name_is_rejected_without_mutating_its_target` asserts both that the store fails closed and that the symlink target's mode is unchanged; it fails when the `created` guard is removed.

On both Darwin targets advertised in release/mc-host-release.json, /proc/self/exe is absent, so every start or restart reaches this open and returns internal_error before forking. Although generation walking no longer depends on procfs, this separate spawn path still does; select the retained executable through a Darwin-supported mechanism such as _NSGetExecutablePath followed by descriptor validation.

Declining — spawn.rs cannot be built for Darwin at all, so the runtime
path you describe is unreachable.
Two Linux-only symbols are referenced unconditionally in this function's block:
libc::fexecveis declared only underlibc'sunix/linux_liketree. There
is nofexecveinunix/bsd/apple— macOS does not provide the call.libc::SYS_close_rangeis a Linux syscall constant.
So a Darwin build fails to compile rather than reaching this open and returning
internal_error. The macOS lane is deferred by design, and the tree says so in
generation.rs:
/// Atomic same-filesystem directory exchange. Linux `renameat2` with
/// `RENAME_EXCHANGE`; other platforms fail closed as `native_payload_invalid`
/// (macOS `renamex_np(RENAME_SWAP)` support is deferred with the rest of the
/// macOS lane).
The contract agrees that the mechanism differs rather than being absent: the
linux platform entry declares procfs_self_fd_exec: true while both darwin
entries declare dev_fd_exec: true. That is a planned /dev/fd path, which is
also what your suggested _NSGetExecutablePath step would feed.
Worth separating this from your earlier read_dir_names finding, which I did
fix. That one was mc-host library code — compiled and partially run on macOS
in CI — and I had regressed it from portable read_dir to procfs in the previous
commit. This is the Linux-only launcher binary, which was never portable and
cannot be made portable by changing one open: fexecve has no macOS
equivalent, so the whole retained-fd exec mechanism has to be rebuilt on
/dev/fd when the lane is picked up.
I have not filed a task for the macOS lane because I do not know whether it is
already tracked outside this repo's bd graph — I checked and found nothing for
darwin. Say the word and I will file it with your _NSGetExecutablePath note and
the renamex_np one together, since they are the same piece of work.

When the launcher inherits an umask that removes owner read or execute bits, this mkdirat(..., 0700) creates the temp directory as mode 000; the immediately following open_child_dir then cannot open it for an unprivileged owner, so every dev payload start fails as native_payload_invalid. Normalize the newly created directory to 0700 before opening it, as the store already does for the generations directory.

Same mechanism as the generations directory in the previous commit, and I
should have caught this one at the same time — a directory left without owner
bits cannot be opened by its owner at all, so open_child_dir fails and the
temp is reported as insecure rather than as a mode problem.
Normalized before the open and pinned through the descriptor after it. Worth
noting why the pathname chmodat is safe here without the created guard I
added for generations: create_staging_temp does not tolerate EEXIST, so a
successful mkdirat proves this call created the entry and nothing can be
planted at that name.
Not unit-tested, deliberately: umask is process-global and this suite runs
tests in parallel threads, so a test that sets it would make sibling tests
order-dependent. I would rather leave the path uncovered than add a flake.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When an unprotected occupied digest directory contains an unknown manifest schema, validate returns UnsupportedStateSchema, but .is_ok() collapses that into the same branch as ordinary corruption. Promotion then exchanges the directory and deletes it at line 780, violating the store's quarantine rule that unknown-schema bytes remain untouched; match UnsupportedStateSchema separately and abort instead of repairing it.

Confirmed and fixed in 85ddc16. This is the best catch of the round.
.is_ok() flattened three distinct outcomes into two, and UnsupportedStateSchema
landed on the wrong side: the occupant was exchanged away and then deleted at the
remove_tree after the revalidation. prune gets this right through
is_quarantined_schema, so promotion was the one mutation path that did not
honor the store's own quarantine rule.
Now an explicit three-arm match: a valid occupant keeps the target and drops the
temp, an unknown schema returns UnsupportedStateSchema and abandons the
mutation, and only genuine corruption reaches the exchange. The quarantine
outcome does not depend on protected, which is the point — quarantined bytes
are preserved because they are quarantined, not because something happened to
reference them.
Added generation::tests::a_quarantined_digest_occupant_is_never_repaired. It
quarantines an occupant with a schema-2 manifest, deliberately leaves
protected empty so only the quarantine rule can stop the repair, and asserts
both the UnsupportedStateSchema outcome and that the bytes are byte-for-byte
preserved. It fails when the new arm is removed.

When the destination filesystem has free global blocks but this user has exhausted a quota, the capacity preflight can pass and write_all_fd returns EDQUOT; this mapping recognizes only ENOSPC, so the command reports native_payload_invalid and recommends reinstalling instead of returning insufficient_storage. Include DQUOT here, consistently with fsync_preserving_storage.

You are right that the preflight cannot see this: statvfs reports the
filesystem's free blocks, not the caller's remaining quota, so a quota-exhausted
user passes capacity_satisfied and then fails mid-write.
Both errors now route through one is_storage_exhausted predicate, and I applied
it to every exhaustion mapping in the file rather than just the one you flagged —
copy_source_into's write, write_new_file's write, both openat creates, the
intermediate mkdirat, and create_staging_temp's mkdirat. Several of those
had the same NOSPC-only gap, so fixing one would have left the inconsistency
you are pointing at.

On an unsupported Unix target such as Linux AArch64 or musl, production start and stopped-state restart probe the generation store before calling build_target; with a fresh data root this therefore returns native_payload_missing and tells the user to install a payload instead of returning the contract's unsupported_platform result.

Confirmed and fixed in 85ddc16 — this one is a consequence of the
build_target check I added last round, so thanks for following it through.
The platform check now runs at the top of resolve_generation, before either
branch touches the store, and the derived target is threaded into
generation_identity_matches instead of being re-derived there.
The contract settles the ordering question independently:
cli.reasons.failing_by_precedence lists unsupported_platform ahead of
native_payload_invalid and native_payload_missing, so reporting a missing
payload on a target that cannot run one was inverting the contract's own
precedence, not just picking a less helpful reason.

When the detached child exits before acquiring the lifecycle fences or publishing—for example because serve rejects the envelope or a post-fork exec step fails—the timeout probe coherently returns LifecycleState::Stopped, but this catch-all converts it to wedged. The result consequently claims fence incoherence and emits failed lifecycle checks even though no daemon remains; map the stopped observation to stopped and reserve wedged for an actually wedged or otherwise incoherent probe.

Confirmed and fixed in 85ddc16.
Ok(LifecycleState::Stopped) => "stopped" added ahead of the catch-all. The
consequence you name is the reason it matters: state feeds finish(), which
derives the applicable checks from the verdict, so a stopped daemon was emitting
a failed lifecycle.fences check and telling the operator to inspect a process
that is not there.
Left Running and Stopping on the wedged arm: after a spawn whose
publication never authenticated, either of those is genuinely incoherent for a
start, so the catch-all is the right answer for them.
…cedence Third review round. - `promote_temp` collapsed `validate`'s outcomes with `.is_ok()`, so an occupied digest holding an unknown manifest schema took the repair branch: the directory was exchanged away and then deleted. That contradicts the store's quarantine rule, which `prune` already honors through `is_quarantined_schema`. An unknown schema now aborts the mutation as `UnsupportedStateSchema`, whether or not the digest is protected. - `create_staging_temp` had the same umask hazard the generations directory just had: `mkdirat(..., 0700)` is umask-filtered, and a directory left without owner bits cannot be opened by its owner, so `open_child_dir` failed and every dev payload start reported `native_payload_invalid`. The mode is normalized before the open and pinned through the descriptor after it. `mkdirat` does not tolerate `EEXIST` here, so its success proves this call created the entry and the pathname chmod cannot be redirected. - The write and create paths recognized only `ENOSPC` as exhaustion while `fsync_preserving_storage` also recognized `EDQUOT`. A user who has exhausted a quota on a filesystem with free global blocks passes the capacity preflight — `statvfs` reports the filesystem's free blocks, not the caller's remaining quota — and was then told to reinstall the payload rather than free space. Both errors now route through one `is_storage_exhausted` predicate. - `resolve_generation` inspected payload state before deriving the target, so on an unsupported target a fresh data root reported `native_payload_missing` and told the user to install a payload that cannot run there. The platform check now precedes any store access, matching the contract's failing-reason precedence, which orders `unsupported_platform` ahead of `native_payload_missing`. The derived target is threaded into `generation_identity_matches` rather than re-derived. - A startup timeout mapped every non-`Starting` probe to `wedged`, including a coherent `Stopped`. A child that exits before publishing — a rejected envelope or a failed post-fork step — left a result claiming fence incoherence with no daemon to inspect. `Stopped` is now reported as `stopped`. Tests: `a_quarantined_digest_occupant_is_never_repaired` asserts both the `UnsupportedStateSchema` outcome and that the quarantined bytes are preserved exactly; it fails when the new match arm is removed. The staging-temp umask path is not unit-tested: `umask` is process-global and this suite runs in parallel, so setting it would make sibling tests order-dependent.

When a running restart spends most or all of the 60-second budget in preflight_generation—for example, validating a large generation on slow storage—this shutdown attempt is still allowed to run for the client's independent connect/request/close timeouts because it receives no aggregate deadline. It can therefore acknowledge and commit the stop after outer has expired, after which start_phase refuses to spawn the successor and reports stop_committed:true, start_committed:false, causing an avoidable outage while also exceeding the hard aggregate cap; refuse the stop when its successor budget is exhausted and bound the shutdown attempt by the remaining aggregate time.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in 1562b2b. You found a regression I introduced last
round, and it is the worse kind — I closed one outage and opened another.
Adding the outer check to start_phase made the successor refusable, and
nothing upstream accounted for that: preflight burns the budget, stop_phase
commits, start_phase then declines, and the result is
stop_committed:true, start_committed:false produced purely by a deadline. That
is the same outage shape preflight_generation exists to prevent, arriving
through a different door.
Two changes:
cmd_restartrefuses before the stop when less than one
SPAWN_PUBLICATION_AUTHphase remains on the aggregate, reporting
lifecycle_busywith both bits false and the daemon still serving. Refusing a
restart is recoverable —wait_and_retryis the contract remediation — while a
committed stop with no successor is not.Runtime::shutdownnow takes the aggregate deadline and wraps connect,
request, and close intokio::time::timeout, matching whatauthenticate
already does. A timeout there returnsshutdown_outcome_unknownrather than
shutdown_failed, since the request may already have been written; the
existingcommit_uncertainpath then settles the commit by observation instead
of asserting either bit.
Not integration-tested, and I want to be straight about why: OUTER_AGGREGATE is
a plain 60s const with no CK_MC_HOST_TEST_PHASE_CAP_MS-style override, unlike
the phase caps, so exercising the refusal means a 60-second test. If you think
that path deserves coverage the right move is to make the aggregate overridable
the way the phase caps already are, which I did not want to slip into a review
pass.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a retained generation from a newer release has an unknown-schema manifest larger than 1 MiB, the capped read fails here and classifies it as non-quarantined. If that generation is not currently protected, prune consequently deletes it even though the store explicitly promises to preserve unknown-schema bytes for forward compatibility; oversized manifests whose schema cannot be safely decoded should be conservatively quarantined rather than treated as removable corruption.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in 1562b2b, with a narrower fix than you proposed.
You are right about the substance: read_all_fd failing on the cap is not
evidence that the manifest is schema 1, and after last round's change this
implementation refuses to write an oversized manifest at all — so one on disk is
either corruption or a newer release's format, and only one of those is safe to
delete.
Where I diverged: rather than quarantining on every read failure, I quarantine
only when fstat shows the manifest exceeds MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES. Every other
read failure stays removable. The reason is that "unreadable" covers real I/O
errors and genuine corruption too, and if those became quarantined there would be
no operation left that can reclaim a broken generation — a disk-space leak with
no remedy. The size case is the one where the ambiguity is specifically
"possibly a future format", so that is the one that earns preservation.
I did leave the existing comment's claim that unreadable manifests are removable
in place for the other failures, since that is still the behaviour and still
deliberate.
Added an_oversized_manifest_is_quarantined_rather_than_pruned. It promotes a
successor first so the oversized generation is no longer the profile target,
leaving the quarantine rule as the only thing that can save it, then asserts the
prune report counts it as quarantined and the bytes are unchanged. Without the
size check it reports removed_generations: 1.
Fourth review round, both findings against the previous two commits. - `start_phase` gained a check that refuses to spawn once the aggregate is spent, which closed one outage and opened another: on slow storage `preflight_generation` can consume most of the 60s budget, `stop_phase` then commits an irreversible stop, and `start_phase` refuses the successor — producing `stop_committed:true` with `start_committed:false` from a deadline rather than from any on-disk state. `cmd_restart` now refuses before the stop when less than one spawn/publication/auth phase remains, reporting `lifecycle_busy` with both effect bits false and the daemon still serving, which is the same discipline `preflight_generation` applies to on-disk state. `Runtime::shutdown` is also bounded by the aggregate now, matching `authenticate`. A timeout there is reported as `shutdown_outcome_unknown` rather than a definite failure, because the request may already have been written — the existing observation path then settles the commit question. - `is_quarantined_schema` classified a manifest above `MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES` as non-quarantined, so `prune` deleted it. An unreadable manifest is not evidence of schema 1, and this implementation now refuses to write an oversized one, so such a manifest is either corruption or a newer release's format. Deleting the second is the forward-compatibility break quarantine exists to prevent, while preserving the first costs one skipped directory. An oversized manifest is now quarantined; every other read failure stays removable, so genuinely broken generations are still reclaimable. Tests: `an_oversized_manifest_is_quarantined_rather_than_pruned` promotes a successor so only the quarantine rule can preserve the oversized generation, then asserts it is counted as quarantined and its bytes are unchanged; it fails without the size check. The restart budget refusal is not integration-tested — `OUTER_AGGREGATE` has no test override, unlike the phase caps, so driving it would mean a 60-second test.

When shutdown consumes the remaining aggregate budget after this pre-stop check—for example, the host acknowledges near the deadline or acknowledgement is followed by a slow client close—stop_phase can still return with the old daemon fully stopped, after which start_phase observes an expired outer and refuses to spawn its successor. Fresh evidence after the prior report is that the new guard only checks a snapshot of the remaining time, while this call still gives stop_phase the unreserved aggregate deadline; cap the stop phase early enough to preserve the successor's publication/authentication budget.

Confirmed and fixed in 3097e3f. You are right, and "only checks a snapshot"
is exactly the flaw — my guard proved the budget existed and then handed the stop
the whole thing.
The successor phase is now reserved rather than checked:
let stop_deadline = match outer.checked_sub(phase_cap(SPAWN_PUBLICATION_AUTH)) {
Some(deadline) if deadline > Instant::now() => deadline,
_ => return /* lifecycle_busy, both bits false, daemon serving */,
};
match stop_phase(&runtime, stop_deadline) {stop_phase derives both of its own bounds from what it is given —
runtime.shutdown(&publication, deadline) and
phase_deadline(deadline, phase_cap(STOP_TEARDOWN)) — so capping its input caps
the acknowledgement and the teardown observation together. Neither can reach into
the reservation, including the slow-close case you name.
Thanks for pushing on this twice. The first fix moved the outage rather than
removing it, which I should have seen when I added the start_phase guard.

When the daemon receives SIGINT (for example from an operator or process supervisor), this production serve path has registered only SIGTERM, and the detached spawn explicitly reset every signal disposition to default. SIGINT therefore terminates the process immediately instead of running mc_host::run's fenced shutdown, skipping route/component draining and potentially leaving component-owned subprocesses or work alive; install and select over an interrupt stream as well.

Worth naming the causal link, because it is mine: resetting every inherited
disposition to SIG_DFL in the child last round is what made this reachable in
its current form. Before that, SIGINT's disposition was whatever the launcher's
invoker had — which could just as easily have been an inherited SIG_IGN, i.e. a
daemon that ignores interrupts entirely. Normalizing to default was right; leaving
the daemon with no interrupt handler was the gap.
Both streams are now created before the host future starts and selected over in
one task, so SIGINT and SIGTERM drive the same cancellation token and the same
fenced teardown. Installation failure for either one fails startup, as SIGTERM's
already did.

When the stable lifecycle files belong to a daemon outside this release's supported range, status classifies every coherent Running observation as healthy even though the same publication version is rejected by start through daemon_version_compatible. Monitoring and upgrade tooling can therefore treat an incompatible incumbent as healthy instead of receiving the contract's incompatible_daemon result; apply the existing range check before returning success.

Declining the change, filing the follow-up — magic-context-jua.
The asymmetry you spotted is real and deliberate rather than an oversight, and
the tree says so at publication_daemon_ver:
/// Untrusted publication diagnostics (daemon_ver) for the versions block.
/// Authenticated version propagation is U3's client work; until then the
/// discovery-validated publication value is reported as a diagnostic only.
start uses that value only after an authenticated connect. status dials no
connection at all — that is its stated contract, which is also why proof and
readiness stay null — so gating ok on it would turn an unauthenticated
self-declaration into an authoritative health verdict. That is a bigger
correctness problem than the one it fixes: a daemon could then be reported
incompatible on the strength of a value nothing proved.
Your user impact is legitimate though, so the follow-up says status should
apply the range check as soon as U3 lands authenticated version propagation.
One thing worth pointing out for the monitoring case in the meantime: status
already emits the observed value in versions.daemon, and release-info exposes
versions.supported_daemon_range, so tooling that needs the comparison today can
make it itself without a second round trip. That is not as good as the contract
result, but it does mean the information is not being withheld — only the verdict
is.

When the installed ck-mc-host inode is group- or other-writable, this predicate accepts it solely because it is regular and owned by the invoking UID. Another principal with write permission can modify that same inode before or after the descriptor is retained, and fexecve then runs those bytes as the victim user; require that the executable have no group/other write bits before treating the descriptor as trusted.

Partly fixed in 3097e3f; the rest is tracked as magic-context-92y with the
reasoning, because the predicate has a deployment dimension I cannot settle from
here.
Fixed: an other-writable executable is now rejected. That one is unambiguous —
any principal on the host can rewrite the inode, and no supported install layout
produces an other-writable file, so rejecting it cannot refuse a legitimate
launcher.
Not fixed: group-writable. The threat is real on a host with a shared primary
group, but a umask of 002 — the default on several distributions that use
user-private groups — leaves npm-installed files at 0775, where "group" is the
user alone. Rejecting that would fail those installs closed with
internal_error and remediation report_bug, which is the wrong answer for a
routine umask. I do not know what modes the contract's four install_layouts
actually produce, and guessing in the tightening direction has the same problem
as guessing in the loosening direction did when you raised the root-owned case in
comment 3875296522.
So both are filed together, since they are one decision: what ownership and mode
set the launcher should trust, moving alongside whatever the install.layout
contract check declares supported. The task also notes this shrinks once U6/U9
land — the ponytail: note in spawn.rs says the retained fd becomes
ValidatedGeneration::open_verified_file("bin/ck-mc-host"), and the generation
store already enforces owner-only single-link on every staged file, so the
long-term path is owner-only by construction rather than by predicate.
Fifth review round. - The previous commit's pre-stop budget check only sampled the remaining time and then handed `stop_phase` the full aggregate, so a shutdown that acknowledges near the deadline could still consume the successor's budget and leave the old daemon stopped with `start_phase` refusing to spawn. The successor phase is now *reserved*: the stop is given `outer` minus one spawn/publication/auth phase, so no amount of time spent acknowledging or observing the teardown can eat into it. When the reservation cannot be met the restart is refused with the daemon still serving and both effect bits false. - `serve` registered only SIGTERM. Since the spawn path resets every inherited disposition to its default, a SIGINT from an operator or a process supervisor terminated the daemon without running the fenced teardown, skipping route and component draining. Both streams are now installed before the host future starts and selected over in one task, so either signal drives the same cancellation token. - `spawn_detached` accepted an other-writable launcher executable, which any principal on the host could rewrite before or after the descriptor is retained — `fexecve` would then run those bytes as this user. No supported install layout produces an other-writable file, so the rejection cannot refuse a legitimate launcher. The group-writable and root-owned cases are deliberately left alone and tracked in magic-context-92y: both depend on what modes and owners the contract's four install layouts actually produce, and a umask of 002 makes group-writable a routine outcome rather than a hostile one.

When restart --payload-dir runs on slow storage, source enumeration can consume nearly all of the stop budget, but this reservation covers only SPAWN_PUBLICATION_AUTH; after the old daemon stops, start_phase still synchronously prunes, copies, hashes, and validates the payload before checking outer. If that work consumes the remaining three seconds, the command returns startup_timeout with stop_committed:true and no successor. Fresh evidence after the prior deadline report is that the new reservation explicitly excludes this post-stop generation-resolution phase, so staging must be completed before stopping or included in the reserved successor budget.

Confirmed and fixed in f05da05, but by inverting the rule rather than growing
the reservation — I think reserving more is unachievable here and you have shown
why twice now.
Post-stop staging prunes, copies, hashes, and validates every payload file. That
is unbounded work whose duration depends on payload size and disk, so there is no
reservation that sizes it; each time I widen the reservation you will be able to
find a payload that outruns it.
So start_phase now takes whether a stop has been committed:
if !stop_committed && Instant::now() >= outer {With nothing committed the refusal stays — that is the case the guard was added
for, where spawning past the budget reports startup_timeout while a daemon comes
up behind it, and the caller can simply retry. Once the stop is irreversible the
trade inverts: the spawn is the only path back to service, so overrunning the
aggregate is strictly better than leaving the daemon down. The principle I should
have written down two rounds ago is that the deadline must never be the reason a
committed stop has no successor.
The pre-stop reservation stays, since it is what keeps the overrun rare rather
than routine.

On an unsupported target with a currently serving incumbent, restart --payload-dir takes this branch and validates only the source tree, so it commits the stop before resolve_generation finally calls build_target and returns unsupported_platform. The result is an avoidable outage with stop_committed:true and no successor. Fresh evidence after the earlier platform-order fix is that this explicit-payload preflight bypasses the newly early check; reject the restart before stopping.

Platform support is pre-existing on-disk-and-host state, which is exactly the
category preflight_generation exists to discover before anything is touched, so
the check now sits at the top of it rather than only inside the post-stop
resolution.
This is a gap I opened: the platform check I added two rounds ago went into
resolve_generation, which for the Some(dir) branch runs after the stop by
design. Hoisting it to resolve_generation's entry fixed the production branch
and left the payload branch exactly as exposed as before.

When the launcher inherits a restrictive umask that removes owner execute permission, a nested payload path such as bin/tool creates bin as mode 000; the following destination openat cannot traverse it and staging fails as native_payload_invalid. The staging root was normalized for this same umask case, but each intermediate directory also needs its mode restored to 0700 immediately after successful creation.

Third instance of the same umask mechanism, and the one with the most visible
symptom, since a nested path is the normal case for a real payload — bin without
owner execute cannot be traversed, so the destination openat fails rather than
the directory check.
Fixed the same way as the other two: mkdirat's result now distinguishes created
from EEXIST, and the normalization runs only on the created branch, so the
pathname chmod cannot be redirected through something already at that name.

When a payload directory component is replaced with a symlink after payload_sources inspects it but before staging opens a listed file, this pathname open follows that intermediate link because O_NOFOLLOW protects only the final component. The before/after descriptor checks then validate the substituted outside file consistently, so the generation is promoted with bytes that were never under the requested payload tree. Retain directory descriptors while enumerating or open every source component relative to a pinned root with no-follow semantics.

The mechanism is right and the identity checks genuinely do not catch it: before
and after both stat the substituted object, so they agree with each other while
disagreeing with what was enumerated.
Why I am not fixing it in this pass. SourceSpec.source is an absolute path, and
the staging contract deliberately allows a source that is unrelated to its
destination — the hard-link-into-a-package-cache case is called out in the doc
comment, and the tests rely on source and rel_path differing. So the fix is a
contract change, roughly one of:
payload_sourcesreturns retained descriptors andstage_and_promoteconsumes
descriptors rather than paths; or- a pinned payload-root descriptor plus root-relative source paths, resolved with
theopen_rel_nofollowwalk that already exists.
The second is closer to today's shape but only fits callers whose sources share
one root — true for the dev walk, false for the tests. Either way it is an API
decision, not a review-pass edit, and the wrong shape here is how you end up
threading an Option<&OwnedFd> through the staging path forever.
Scope, for prioritization: the exposed flow is --payload-dir, which is the dev
and test path. Production resolution is read-only and U9 records
production_qualified:false, so no supported flow stages a production payload
today, and the attacker already needs write access inside the directory the user
pointed the flag at. Filed with both options and that scope so it can be picked up
deliberately.

When the bearer handshake succeeds but Client::close stalls while sending Goodbye or joining its I/O tasks, the outer timeout discards the already established Some(()) and reports authentication failure. Since the phase cap is three seconds while close has its own five-second deadline, a healthy daemon under slow teardown can make start report authentication_failed or make a newly spawned daemon end in startup_timeout even though authenticated transport was proven. Record success immediately after Client::connect and make cleanup best-effort without letting it change the authentication result.

Confirmed and fixed in f05da05. This one is squarely mine — I introduced it
when I bounded authenticate two rounds ago.
Wrapping connect and close in one timeout made a proven handshake retractable,
and as you note the arithmetic guarantees it: close carries a longer deadline
than SPAWN_PUBLICATION_AUTH's cap, so a slow teardown reliably converts a
healthy authenticated daemon into authentication_failed, or a freshly spawned
one into startup_timeout.
Only the handshake is bounded by the phase now. The close runs afterward under its
own short grace, which exists solely so a stalled peer cannot hang the phase — it
cannot change the verdict either way:
match tokio::time::timeout(remaining, Client::connect(&path)).await {
Ok(Ok(client)) => {
let _ = tokio::time::timeout(CLOSE_GRACE, client.close()).await;
true
}
_ => false,
}Sixth review round. - The successor reservation covered only the spawn/publication/auth phase, but `restart --payload-dir` stages the payload *after* the stop — pruning, copying, hashing, and validating every file — and that work is unbounded, so no reservation can size it. Rather than reserving more, `start_phase` now takes whether a stop has been committed and skips the deadline refusal when one has. With nothing committed the refusal stays, because reporting `startup_timeout` while a daemon comes up behind it is the failure that guard exists to prevent and the caller can retry cleanly. Once the stop is irreversible the trade inverts: the spawn is the only path back to service, so the aggregate is allowed to overrun rather than the daemon left down. The pre-stop reservation is what keeps that overrun rare. - `preflight_generation` validated only the source tree for the payload branch, so `restart --payload-dir` on an unsupported target committed the stop and only then reached the platform check inside `resolve_generation`. Platform support is pre-existing state like every other condition that preflight exists to discover, so it is decided before the stop. - `copy_source_into` created intermediate directories with a umask-filtered mode. A nested path such as `bin/tool` could leave `bin` without owner execute, which cannot be traversed, so the destination `openat` failed and staging reported `native_payload_invalid`. Normalized after creation, guarded on having created the component so the pathname chmod cannot be redirected. - `authenticate` folded the post-handshake `close` into the phase timeout, so a proven handshake was discarded when a slow teardown outlasted the cap — `close` carries a longer deadline than the phase does, which made a healthy daemon report `authentication_failed`. Only the handshake is bounded by the phase now; the close is best-effort under its own short grace and cannot withdraw a verdict the handshake already settled. Filed rather than fixed: staging still opens sources by full pathname, so an intermediate payload-directory component swapped between enumeration and staging is followed. Closing that means changing the staging contract to carry descriptors or a pinned root, which `SourceSpec`'s arbitrary absolute sources do not currently allow — magic-context-k1r has the two design options and the scope.

When start --payload-dir stages a development payload, its manifest records inputs_lock_sha256: "unqualified-dev-inputs"; after that daemon is stopped, a later plain start accepts the same current generation because this identity predicate checks only the target and release-contract digest. Production resolution can therefore reuse a deliberately unqualified development generation despite its fail-closed qualification contract, so validate the input-lock identity and production_qualified state before returning success.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Declining — the reuse you describe is current intended behaviour, asserted by a
test, and the proposed check would make the production path fail universally
rather than fail closed. Filed as magic-context-zjb for when that changes.
lifecycle_cli::full_dev_mode_lifecycle_roundtrip runs a bare restart after dev
staging and requires success:
// restart from stopped: no --payload-dir needed, the promoted current
// generation revalidates; stop bit stays false.
let out = run(&data, &["restart"]);
assert_eq!(out.code, 0, ...);
assert_result(&value, "restart", true, "running", "started");The reason it cannot simply be tightened: U9 records
production_qualified:false, so no supported flow can stage a qualified payload
at all. Every generation that can exist today carries the
unqualified-dev-inputs marker, so rejecting the marker on the production path
does not fail closed on a hazard — it makes plain start and restart
unconditionally impossible.
I also read the qualification contract as scoping to staging rather than
selection: production_qualified:false says no production payload may be
staged, not that an already-selected generation must be re-adjudicated against a
qualification that cannot yet exist.
Once U9 flips and a qualified payload can exist, comparing inputs_lock_sha256
in generation_identity_matches alongside the target and release-contract digests
is the right check, with the dev marker rejected on the production path. That is
what the task records.

When the lifecycle-directory fsync fails after renameat succeeds—for example because of an I/O or delayed-allocation failure—the current namespace already contains the new profile, but this returns an ordinary staging error whose documented contract says selectors were preserved. Callers consequently report that promotion failed (and a restart may leave the incumbent stopped) while subsequent production resolution observes the newly selected digest; retain enough state to restore the old selector or represent this as a committed/unknown outcome instead of an uncommitted failure.

Valid, and filing rather than fixing — magic-context-8s4.
The contract violation is real: renameat has already taken effect when the
fsync fails, so current names the new digest while the returned error's
documented contract promises selectors were preserved. A caller reports a failed
promotion, and a restart can leave the incumbent stopped on the strength of a
promotion that happened.
Why not in this pass. Every option needs a contract decision I should not make
unilaterally:
GenerationError's variants are documented as mapping onto exactly one closed
v1 reason each, and the contract'scli.reasons.failing_by_precedencehas no
entry that expresses "committed, durability unproven". Adding the concept means
adding a reason and its remediation, which is release-contract surface — and
that contract is frozen with its SHA-256 committed into every generation
manifest and the U9 input lock.- Restoring the old selector is itself a rename plus an fsync, so it inherits the
same unknown outcome one level down rather than resolving it. - Returning
Okwould convert a real durability loss into silence.
Filed with those three framed so the reason-set change can be made deliberately
alongside the contract rather than smuggled in behind a review comment.

When generation resolution succeeds but a later step fails—for example namespace-anchor verification, daemon-log opening, envelope delivery, or fork—this shared failure constructor emits artifact.current_generation with status fail and the unrelated lifecycle or spawn reason. The generation was already completely validated at that point, so diagnostic consumers can incorrectly treat a healthy retained artifact as corrupt; use a post-resolution failure path that records this check as pass while preserving the actual top-level failure.

One fail closure was serving every exit in start_phase, so the reason string
was being reused as the generation check's detail regardless of whether the
generation had anything to do with the failure. Split into two:
unresolved— resolution failed, so the check may reportfail. Resolution is
the only step that observes the artifact, so it is the only one entitled to
say anything about it.resolved_but_failed— everything after resolution: namespace drift, data-root
or log-path faults, envelope serialization, spawn, and the spent-budget case.

When a persisted daemon.log entry is a FIFO, opening it for append blocks waiting for a reader before the subsequent metadata predicate can reject it. This synchronous open is outside every lifecycle timeout, so start can hang without emitting its result and restart can hang after already stopping the incumbent; include O_NONBLOCK in the initial open and then reject non-regular descriptors as intended.

Confirmed and fixed in e03836e. The hang is the serious part, and the fix has
direct precedent in the tree.
O_NONBLOCK is now in the initial open. instance.rs already documents exactly
this reasoning for the coordination lock:
/// `O_NONBLOCK` keeps a planted FIFO from hanging the open; the fstat check
/// still rejects it.
So the predicate ordering was right and only the flag was missing. The
regular-file check still rejects the FIFO, and O_NONBLOCK does not change
append semantics on a regular file, so nothing else moves.
Your point about where this sits is what makes it more than a nuisance: the open
happens before any phase deadline is armed, so start hangs without emitting its
required result object, and restart hangs after the incumbent is already
stopped — an indefinite outage from a single planted FIFO.
…om hanging Seventh review round. - `start_phase`'s single `fail` constructor stamped `artifact.current_generation` as failing for every error, including the ones that happen after the generation was completely validated: namespace drift, log path or envelope faults, spawn faults, a spent budget. A diagnostic consumer reading that check would conclude the retained artifact was corrupt on the strength of an unrelated lifecycle error. Split into `unresolved`, which may report the check as failing because resolution is the only step that says anything about the artifact, and `resolved_but_failed`, which preserves the real top-level failure while recording the check as passing. - `open_log` opened `daemon.log` for append without `O_NONBLOCK`, so a FIFO planted at that name blocked waiting for a reader before the metadata predicate could reject it. That open is outside every lifecycle timeout, so `start` hung without emitting a result and `restart` hung after already stopping the incumbent. `O_NONBLOCK` is now set, matching what `open_coordination_lock_create` already does for the same hazard; the regular-file check still rejects the FIFO, and the flag does not change regular-file append semantics. Filed rather than fixed: - `replace_profile` returns an uncommitted-looking error when the lifecycle-root fsync fails after the rename already took effect, so callers report a failed promotion while resolution observes the new selector — magic-context-8s4. The fix needs a closed reason for "committed, durability unproven", which the contract does not currently have, and rolling the selector back is itself fallible. - Production selection accepts a dev-staged generation carrying the `unqualified-dev-inputs` marker — magic-context-zjb. That reuse is currently intended and asserted by `full_dev_mode_lifecycle_roundtrip`, and since U9 records `production_qualified:false` no qualified payload can exist yet, so rejecting unqualified generations would make the entire non-payload-dir path fail rather than fail closed on a hazard. The check becomes meaningful when U9 flips.

When a running restart --payload-dir has an existing quarantined or insecure generation profile, this branch succeeds because it checks only the source tree. After stop_phase shuts down the incumbent, resolve_generation opens and prunes the store, discovers that destination-side failure, and returns with stop_committed:true, start_committed:false. Because the transaction lock is already held and the profile state is observable before shutdown, validate the existing store/profile here before committing the stop.

The distinction the preflight was drawing — source tree read-only, destination
store deferred — was the wrong cut. What has to stay after the stop is the
mutation (prune, stage, promote), not the destination's own observable state.
The store's profile is read-only to inspect and, as you note, observable under the
lock already held.
The dev branch now also opens the store with the no-create probe and reads the
profile, refusing a quarantined one as unsupported_state_schema before anything
is committed. An absent store stays fine, since staging creates it, and an
insecure store now surfaces from the probe rather than from a post-stop
GenerationStore::open.
That is the third condition this preflight was missing after platform support and
the profile state, all with the same shape: knowable before the stop, discovered
after it.

When the stopped runtime directory contains a still-valid publication copied from another active data root, this condition authenticates that unrelated daemon before the child replaces the stale evidence. The following probe() result is used only for its version and is not required to be Running, so even a stopped or wedged local probe causes start to report started; if the child then fails, the requested root has no daemon despite the success result. Require a coherent running probe and match the authenticated daemon ID and generation to the newly published incarnation before returning success.

Confirmed and fixed in 0827dbc for the part that is locally provable; the
identity-matching half needs U3.
Fixed: success now requires a coherent Running probe, not just a completed
handshake. You are right that probe() was being consulted only for a version and
that its state was never required, so a publication naming another endpoint could
carry start to started while the requested root ends up with no daemon.
The daemon takes its fences before it publishes, so Running should already hold
by the time authentication succeeds — and it does in practice: the lifecycle CLI
suite starts real daemons and passes repeatedly with the requirement added, so this
is not trading a false success for a new timeout.
Not fixed: matching the authenticated daemon ID and generation to the newly
published incarnation. That needs an authenticated version and identity channel
rather than a publication file read, which is U3's client work — the same
constraint behind magic-context-jua, filed when you raised the status
compatibility gap. publication_daemon_ver is still documented as untrusted
until then, so comparing it would be comparing values nothing has proven.
What the fix does buy in the meantime is that the evidence is now local: the
Running state comes from this root's own fences rather than from whatever the
publication points at.

When the canonical generations pathname is renamed or replaced after GenerationStore captures generations_fd, this pathname-based read enumerates the replacement while every subsequent remove_tree operates on the original retained descriptor. A replacement populated with selected names can therefore make pruning delete matching unprotected generations from the pinned store, and the later namespace-anchor failure cannot restore those bytes. Enumerate generations_fd directly, as generation validation already does, so selection and deletion address the same directory object.

Same defect class as your earlier walk_generation_tree finding, in the one place
I did not follow through: selection came from a re-resolved pathname while every
remove_tree acted on generations_fd. Now
read_dir_names(&self.generations_fd), so selection and deletion address the same
directory object.
Your point about irreversibility is what makes this the worse instance of the two.
Validation returning a wrong answer is recoverable; pruning deleting the wrong
bytes is not, and the anchor check that fires afterward cannot undo it.
Eighth review round. - `prune` enumerated `generations` by pathname while every `remove_tree` below it acted on the retained `generations_fd`. A replacement directory at that name, populated with chosen names, could therefore drive deletions inside the pinned store, and the later namespace-anchor failure cannot bring those bytes back. Enumeration now goes through `read_dir_names(&self.generations_fd)`, so selection and deletion address the same directory object — the same correction already applied to validation's unlisted-entry walk. - `preflight_generation`'s dev branch validated only the source tree, so a quarantined or insecure destination store was discovered by `resolve_generation` after the stop, returning `stop_committed:true` with no successor. The store's own state is read-only and observable under the lock already held, so it is preflighted too: a no-create probe, then a profile read that refuses a quarantined profile before anything is committed. - The publication wait treated a successful handshake as proof that this data root had a serving daemon, and used `probe` only to read a version. A still-valid publication left in the runtime directory authenticates whichever endpoint it names, which need not be the child being waited on — so `start` could report `started` while the requested root ends up with no daemon. Success now also requires a coherent `Running` probe, which is the local evidence of a lock-held incarnation. The daemon publishes only after taking its fences, so this costs nothing on the success path; the lifecycle CLI suite, which starts real daemons, passes repeatedly with it. Matching the authenticated daemon identity and generation to the published incarnation is the other half of that finding and still needs U3's authenticated version propagation, which is the same constraint tracked in magic-context-jua.

When the lifecycle root exists but creating its first generations directory fails with ENOSPC or EDQUOT, this arm wraps the error as GenerationError::Instance, which the CLI reports as internal_error with report_bug. This is the same actionable storage-exhaustion condition already handled during staging writes and temp-directory creation, so map these two errno values to InsufficientStorage here as well.

When a newer release leaves an unknown-schema current-profile.json larger than 1 MiB, the capped read fails before decode_with_schema can classify it, so production start and every store mutation report native_payload_invalid instead of the forward-compatibility result unsupported_state_schema. As with oversized future generation manifests, an unreadable-by-this-version profile should be conservatively treated as quarantined so users receive the correct align_versions remediation.

When a running restart --payload-dir points at an otherwise ordinary payload containing a top-level manifest.json, this call accepts the source tree and the old daemon is stopped, but stage_into_temp later rejects that reserved path through validate_rel_path. The restart consequently returns with stop_committed:true, start_committed:false for a deterministic source condition that was observable beforehand; preflight must apply the staging path rules, including the manifest-name collision, before committing the stop.

When restart --payload-dir runs with insufficient destination capacity, this branch still declares the successor preflight successful because it checks only source shape and persisted store state. After the incumbent is stopped, stage_and_promote performs the first capacity check and can return insufficient_storage, leaving stop_committed:true with no successor even though the shortfall was observable before shutdown; preflight the required bytes while accounting for space the subsequent prune can reclaim.

Dir::read_from duplicates the retained descriptor, but duplicated directory descriptors share the same directory offset; consuming this iterator therefore leaves dir positioned at EOF. A second prune on the same GenerationStore can consequently see no generation or temp entries and silently skip cleanup, including entries created after the first pass. Rewind before iteration or open . relative to the pinned descriptor to obtain an independent directory description.

Brings 142 commits of main under the native daemon lifecycle work. Merged
rather than rebased so the ten commits on this branch keep their identities and
the PR's review threads stay anchored.
Three conflicts, resolved as follows.
crates/mc-host/src/lib.rs and crates/mc-host/src/lifecycle.rs — main narrowed
`NamespaceAnchor` to `pub(crate)`, withdrew its re-export, and marked it
`expect(dead_code)` outside tests, with the note:
// Only tests call the anchor; `expect` (not `allow`) flags these
// attributes for removal if a non-test caller is added.
This branch adds exactly that caller: `ck-mc-host` holds the transaction lock
from the `mc-module` crate and calls `capture`/`verify` around its named-namespace
mutations, so the KTD2 drift check now has a production caller. The resolution
follows main's own instruction — the attributes come off, the struct and `verify`
go back to `pub`, and the re-export is kept alongside this branch's
`UNSUPPORTED_STATE_SCHEMA_REASON`. Leaving `expect(dead_code)` in place would not
merely be untidy: with a real caller the lint no longer fires, and `expect` turns
that into a compile error. The two doc comments that asserted the anchor was
crate-private are rewritten, since they would otherwise describe the opposite of
the code.
Only `capture` was flagged as conflicting; auto-merge had silently taken main's
`pub(crate)` struct, `pub(crate) verify`, and all four dead-code attributes,
which is why the resolution reaches beyond the marked hunk. `capture` keeps this
branch's body, which derives the managed segment from
`instance::managed_dir_path` instead of re-joining a literal `"cortexkit"`.
scripts/qualify-mc-host-production-inputs.ts — main replaced the pi harness's
bun-lock substring test with a workspace-aware `resolveLockedVersion` lookup,
while this branch had only reflowed the old expression during a formatter pass.
Main's side is taken whole; the branch contributed nothing semantic to that file.
Verified after resolution: cargo fmt clean across the workspace (main also fixed
the drift in examples/synapse_perf.rs), cargo check --workspace --all-targets
clean, clippy clean for mc-host and mc-module, all 25 mc-host test binaries
green, mc-module tests green including the lifecycle CLI suite, the qualification
script's 72 tests green and the script itself idempotent against the committed
release artifacts, plus bun typecheck and lint.

The comment states that the test polls for teardown stragglers and then verifies the log. The code asserts existence and mode first, and sleeps afterward. If the daemon touches
daemon.logduring teardown, the mode assertion can observe an intermediate state and the test becomes flaky. The trailing sleep also runs after the final assertion, so it only delaysTempDirremoval.♻️ Proposed reordering

Classify an oversized manifest as UnsupportedStateSchema here, not as corruption.
read_all_fd fails when the manifest exceeds MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES, so validate_in_dir returns NativePayloadInvalid for a manifest whose schema cannot be decided. is_quarantined_schema (Line 869) makes the opposite decision and preserves that same generation.
promote_temp (Line 799) acts on this classification. It aborts only on UnsupportedStateSchema; every other error falls through to exchange_dirs and then remove_tree. An unprotected occupant with an oversized manifest is therefore deleted. Restaging identical sources reproduces the occupant's digest, so the path is reachable with the same precondition as a_quarantined_digest_occupant_is_never_repaired. The deletion is irreversible and removes bytes the module promises to preserve.
Decide the size before the capped read. read_current carries the same gap, but its callers abort before any write, so no data is destroyed there.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a running restart --payload-dir spends the remaining aggregate budget staging after the stop, stop_committed correctly allows the child to be spawned, but this deadline is still derived from the already-expired outer. The authentication loop therefore immediately returns startup_timeout and the caller reports start_committed:false, even though the detached successor was issued and may publish moments later; automation can then retry against an unexpectedly running daemon. Fresh evidence after the prior staging-deadline fix is that only the pre-spawn refusal was relaxed—committed successors still receive no post-spawn observation window once outer expires.

When the destination quota is exhausted after the capacity preflight, renameat2 can return EDQUOT, but this arm recognizes only ENOSPC; the error consequently becomes native_payload_invalid with a reinstall remediation instead of insufficient_storage. Include DQUOT here and in the portable renameat fallback, consistently with the staging writes and fsync paths.

When the shutdown request has reached WRITING or WRITTEN but the client deadline expires, a Running probe here does not prove the stop is untouched: the server can finish writing the response and commit immediately after this sample, especially because control requests have no cancellation frame. restart then returns stop_committed:false, start_committed:false and skips the successor while the incumbent subsequently shuts down. Preserve the unknown/possibly-committed outcome or continue observation rather than converting one pre-commit Running snapshot into a definite non-commit.

Main advanced 50 more commits during the first merge, so this catches up to c668ae2. One textual conflict, plus two semantic breaks that the textual merge did not flag. .beads/issues.jsonl — both sides appended to the task ledger. docs/beads.md calls this file a passive git-tracked export, so it was reconciled through beads rather than by hand: main's side imported with `bd import` (upsert), which replayed main's status transitions, then `bd export` regenerated the canonical file. Verified afterwards that no id from either side was dropped, that main's two new tasks are present, and that the review-follow-up tasks filed on this branch survive. crates/mc-host/tests/activation.rs — main added a `retry_after_ms` field to `RequestOutcome::Error`, and this branch's activation test built that variant as a struct literal, so the merge produced a missing-field error. Rewritten to use main's own `RequestOutcome::error` constructor, which exists for exactly the no-retry-metadata case, rather than padding the literal. crates/mc-host/tests/synapse_bundle.rs — main's `expect_limits_fail_startup` drove only `initialize` and required an `Err`. This branch's U2 work moved bundle verification, ORT load, and model construction into post-publication `activate`, so `initialize` now records `Starting` and the limits validation runs one phase later. The guarantee the test defends is unchanged, because an `Err` from `activate` is a host-fatal invariant failure rather than a degraded lane, so the helper now drives both phases: it asserts bootstrap leaves the lane `Starting` and that activation is what rejects infeasible limits. Restores 21/21, matching main. Verified: cargo fmt clean, clippy clean workspace-wide, all 25 mc-host test binaries and all 8 mc-module test binaries green, workspace lib tests green, cargo doc tests green, the qualification script's 72 tests green, and bun typecheck and lint clean.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
On both contract-supported macOS targets, build_target accepts the platform, but macOS does not provide /proc/self/exe, so every stopped-state start fails here with internal_error before forking. More seriously, a running restart can commit the stop before reaching this open and then leave no successor; select the retained executable using a platform-specific Darwin mechanism instead of Linux procfs.

On a Linux x86_64 GNU host below the contract's kernel 4.18 floor, this returns a supported target solely from compile-time properties, so restart --payload-dir passes the new preflight, stops a running incumbent, and only then attempts an unsupported successor. The same omission applies to the contract's macOS 13.5 floor; incorporate the runtime OS/kernel/libc capability checks into the pre-stop platform decision rather than treating every matching target triple as supported.

The `Shared memory source build (macos-latest)` CI job fails to compile `mc-host`. Two independent causes, one introduced by this branch and one already red on main. This branch's cause: `rustix::fs::RawMode` is `u32` on Linux and `u16` on the Darwin targets, while the generation manifest commits `mode` as `u32`. In `copy_source_into` the staged mode was an unannotated literal whose type was inferred from `Mode::from_raw_mode`, so it became `RawMode` and then failed to assign into `ManifestFile.mode`; in `write_new_file` the declared `u32` parameter failed in the other direction. Both now go through one explicit `raw_mode` conversion, and the staged mode is pinned to the manifest's `u32`. Verified by type-checking the same expression shapes against both `RawMode` widths, since Darwin cannot be built here. Main's cause, in a file this branch touches: `hostile_shapes_at_the_lock_names_fail_closed` plants a FIFO with `rustix::fs::mkfifoat`, which rustix gates away from Apple targets, so the lib test target does not compile there — which is why the macOS job is red on main too, with `cannot find function mkfifoat`. The FIFO sub-case is now Linux-gated, matching the two other FIFO tests in the same module, so the platform-independent assertions in that test keep running everywhere. Recorded in the gate's comment: shelling out to `mkfifo(1)` instead, the way `connection_file`'s fifo test does, is not viable here. Forking from this test binary hands the child duplicates of the `flock`ed descriptors that sibling tests hold in parallel threads, and each lock outlives its guard until the child execs and exits — measured as `EWOULDBLOCK` failures in five unrelated lock tests when that approach was tried. Verified: fmt and clippy clean workspace-wide, all 25 mc-host test binaries green (274 lib tests), all 8 mc-module test binaries green, doc tests green.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a running restart --payload-dir contains a symlink to a regular file, DirEntry::metadata() follows the link, so the subsequent is_symlink() check never sees it and the preflight succeeds. After the incumbent is stopped, GenerationStore::stage_and_promote uses non-following metadata and rejects the same source, leaving stop_committed:true, start_committed:false; symlinked directories are also traversed outside the requested payload tree here. Inspect the directory entry itself with file_type() or symlink_metadata() before recursing or accepting the source.

…ault timeout
`Release contract + production-input qualification` fails intermittently with
Expected: 0
Received: null
at scripts/qualify-mc-host-production-inputs.test.ts:2399
which reads as the resolver disagreeing about ORT features but is not that at
all. `spawnSync` reports `status: null` when the child is signalled rather than
exiting, and the job log names the mechanism directly: `killed 1 dangling
process`. The test harness reaped `cargo metadata` mid-run.
That spawn is the first toolchain invocation in its job — the preceding steps are
checkout, bun setup, toolchain install, dependency install, and stub provisioning
— so on a cold runner it must populate the registry index before it can resolve
the workspace, which routinely outruns the default per-test timeout. Whether it
finishes in time is a property of the runner's cache, not of the feature closure
the test exists to check, so the assertion was reporting a contract failure it
never observed.
Given an explicit 120s bound, well inside the job's own 10-minute limit. The
flake is not specific to this branch: on main the same job is failure, failure,
failure, success across its last four runs.
Verified: the file's 72 tests pass, lint and typecheck clean.
