Plain-English Walkthrough

TL;DR

This branch hardens lawpack publication and check-only validation against path
substitution, incomplete trees, ownership drift, and namespace clobbering. It
binds decisions to retained filesystem identities and uses atomic no-replace
publication moves wherever a supported target requires the destination to be
absent. [claim:confined-publication-hardening, confidence:1.00]

This is a post-merge correctness follow-up to #196. The demonstrated Windows
P1 invalidated the previous frozen candidate: ordinary Windows rename was not
a valid no-replace implementation, and the Windows identity path did not
compile on stable Rust. The replacement candidate therefore fails Windows
lawpack builds closed before document or namespace I/O and does not compile the
transactional publisher on Windows. Native Windows support is parked in #198.
[claim:windows-fail-closed, confidence:1.00]

Frozen review candidate

The immutable replacement candidate is
0783477ebe63ac7aa4b4e7710df7f8080028398f, based on
382b514a9af73b07b9c9d814355eb09f43f2f5f2.

Local and GitHub exact-head verification are green, including the native
windows-latest containment witness. CodeRabbit approved this exact SHA, the
fresh Codex review found no major issues, and no inline thread is unresolved.
No historical review was dismissed. GitHub reports the head mechanically clean,
but this candidate is not merge-authorized by this update.
[claim:frozen-review-candidate, confidence:1.00]

The frozen contract is:

  • Strong failure-atomic publication applies within an Edict-controlled
    publication root among publishers honoring Edict's lock protocol on Apple
    targets, Linux, Android, and Redox.
  • In a shared root, external namespace mutation is interference. Edict confines
    I/O to retained capabilities, refuses symbolic-link traversal, uses atomic
    no-replace moves for expected-vacant destinations, detects substitutions at
    declared observation boundaries, does not intentionally destroy unrecognized
    objects, and does not falsely report commit or rollback.
  • The successful post-validation public-name identity rebind is the directory
    publisher's commit point. Activation and validation before it are provisional;
    cleanup afterward is best effort.
  • Edict does not guarantee restoration of a pathname controlled by an
    uncooperative writer, exclusion of a process that ignores the lock protocol,
    an atomic check-only snapshot, or progress under continual interference.
  • Windows lawpack builds are unsupported in both modes. They return stable
    typed failures before reading the document or mutating its namespace:
    LawpackOutputWriteUnsupported for write mode and
    LawpackCheckUnsupported for check-only.
  • The directory-swap publisher is a containment and compatibility mechanism,
    not the permanent architecture for all Edict artifacts. Immutable generations
    plus a transactional logical reference belong to a separate design track.

The branch must not advance for P2-P5 polish, refactoring, redundant assurance,
or unrelated cleanup. Only a demonstrated P0 or P1 violation of this contract
may replace the candidate. A blocking review must identify this exact SHA, the
frozen invariant violated, a concrete interleaving or contradiction, and the
observable P0/P1 consequence.

Current-head P1 disposition

Finding Disposition Evidence
Windows ordinary rename could replace an intervening empty directory Removed the Windows rename backend; Windows never enters publication 0783477e
Retained Windows directory handles could prevent valid rename Windows does not compile or invoke the transactional publisher 0783477e
Stable Windows target did not compile the identity path Added a small Windows-only fail-closed module and verified an MSVC target check 0783477e
Linux-only CI made no Windows behavior claim Added one real windows-latest containment test 0783477e

RED / GREEN evidence

  • RED: the independent exact-head review proved that the previous Windows
    rename_noreplace_in delegated to replacement-capable ordinary rename.
  • RED: cargo +stable check -p edict-cli --tests --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc exposed unstable Windows identity APIs in the
    transactional implementation.
  • GREEN: Windows selects only the fail-closed module; the same cross-target
    check now passes.
  • GREEN: the Windows runtime regression starts with a missing build document
    and a pre-existing sentinel tree, receives the mode-specific typed failures,
    and observes the sentinel unchanged.
  • GREEN: cargo xtask verify, cargo deny --locked check, provider fixture
    checks, formatting, Clippy, all workspace tests, and git diff --check pass at
    0783477e.

Compatibility and nonclaims

  • The public v1 authoring schema and canonical artifact bytes are unchanged on
    supported targets.
  • Windows lawpack build support is intentionally narrowed from a false claim to
    an executable typed refusal.
  • This PR does not implement the Win32 handle-relative publication protocol;
    Implement native Windows lawpack transactional publication #198 is parked until Windows is a real product requirement.
  • This PR does not release crates, invoke providers, or claim runtime execution.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Strengthened lawpack validation against symlink changes, directory substitutions, and unexpected ownership changes.
    • Improved publication and rollback safety with lock coordination and protection against incomplete or unintended activations.
    • Check-only validation remains read-only and reports path-resolution failures more clearly.
    • Added safeguards against staged-data changes before activation and unexpected output replacement.
    • Improved dependency-path validation to prevent symlink traversal and detect identity changes.
    • Added platform-specific handling for unsupported Windows lawpack operations.
  • Documentation

    • Updated authoring guidance and test coverage for filesystem safety, publication, rollback, platform support, and dependency confinement.

Walkthrough

Lawpack check-only validation and publication now use no-follow traversal, retained filesystem identities, ownership rechecks, process-local locks, staged artifact validation, and guarded rollback. Windows builds fail closed before document or namespace access.

Changes

Lawpack confinement and publication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Check-only resolution and ownership rechecks
crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs, docs/topics/cli/*, docs/topics/lawpack-authoring/README.md
Check-only output and dependency resolution pin path components without following symlinks. Ownership and identity checks run again before validation completes.
Symlink-safe output validation
crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs
Output validation opens inspected files and directories with no-follow semantics. Tests cover substitution after inspection.
Publication identity pinning and activation
crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs, crates/edict-cli/Cargo.toml
Publication coordinates filesystem-equivalent output locks. It pins roots, staging paths, transactions, backups, and activated output identities.
Rollback protection and validation coverage
crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs
Rollback rejects reused or substituted objects. Tests cover tampering, symlink substitution, identity drift, activation loss, lock conflicts, and no-clobber behavior.
Platform support boundary
crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build_windows.rs, crates/edict-cli/src/main.rs, .github/workflows/ci.yml, crates/edict-cli/Cargo.toml
Windows write and check-only builds fail before document or namespace access. Platform-specific filesystem support and CI coverage define the supported boundary.
Publication contracts and documentation
CHANGELOG.md, docs/topics/lawpack-authoring/*, docs/topics/cli/*, fixtures/providers/components/inventory.json
Documentation records the updated confinement, identity, rollback, dependency, and commit-point behavior. The inventory fixture uses a new digest.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 07834

The PR hardens supported-target publication and makes Windows lawpack operations fail closed. It is mergeable with owner awareness because duplicated commit-path logic and inconsistent documentation could cause future maintenance or operator confusion, although no current production correctness failure is evidenced.

Poem

Roots stay pinned, and links are barred,
Locks protect each guarded shard.
Staged bytes face identity light,
Rollback checks each name outright.
Lawpacks publish only when paths stay right.

Additional self-audit scope for the dependency-path documentation finding

Priority Source Files Finding Required mitigation
P2 Self, while reproducing merged-PR thread PRRT_kwDOS96-Us6bShlx docs/topics/cli/test-plan.md, docs/topics/lawpack-authoring/test-plan.md Two requirement rows repeat the same inaccurate canonicalization claim found in the CLI guide. Production rejects symlink components and pins no-follow handles instead of canonicalizing through them. Correct all three user-facing and executable-plan statements together, preserving the existing behavior regressions as the oracle.

@codex Please confirm that the documentation should describe rejection plus retained no-follow identity, not path canonicalization.

Verification

  • Every runtime behavior repair was calibrated RED against the preceding
    implementation and GREEN after its isolated fix. The transaction create/open
    finding instead narrows the hostile-writer contract and structurally requires
    retained output authority; it does not add a false portable continuity test.
  • Documentation-only items reuse executable behavior or precedence regressions;
    no prohibited prose/structure tests were added.
  • cargo xtask verify is fully green at 1b7ad702, including formatting,
    workspace Clippy with warnings denied, all-feature tests, doctests, goldens,
    provider fixtures, contract checks, dependency-boundary checks, and
    git diff --check origin/main...HEAD. The Edict CLI unit surface has 95
    passing tests, including 62 lawpack-build tests.
  • The local worktree is clean and every branch commit has a good signature.
  • GitHub stable, MSRV, and supply-chain checks are green at 1b7ad702.
    CodeRabbit is rate limited at that head, so the requested alternate Codex
    review and the user-arranged independent review remain merge gates.
  • CodeRabbit's generic 80% docstring warning is not a repository gate and counts
    private test helpers as API documentation targets. It was dispositioned as
    non-applicable rather than answered with ceremonial comments; warnings-denied
    Clippy and the repository documentation contract are green.

@codex review please — perform a fresh exact-head review of 1b7ad702.

Additional self-audit scope for full-chain root pinning

Priority Source File Finding Required mitigation
P1 Self, while reproducing Codex thread PRRT_kwDOS96-Us6bTBtI crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs open_check_root_with_hook and open_dependency_root use the same ambient-parent plus final-component no-follow pattern as open_publication_root; an earlier ancestor symlink substitution can redirect check-only observation or dependency reads. Introduce one absolute-root traversal that starts at the filesystem root and opens every normal component with no-follow semantics; use it for publication, check-only, and dependency roots, with separate stable failure categories and deterministic regressions.

@codex Please confirm the analogous check-only and dependency-root exposure belongs in the same full-chain authority repair.

Self-audit finding: root-chain regressions can false-positive on macOS

Priority Source File Finding Required mitigation
P1 Self, during the next RED calibration crates/edict-cli/src/lawpack_build.rs test helper std::env::temp_dir() yields /var/... on macOS while /var is a symlink. Full-chain regressions expecting refusal can fail at that ambient system alias before exercising their injected substitution. Return the canonical real path from the shared temporary-tree helper, rerun the full root-chain matrix, and keep outside-tree non-mutation assertions.

@codex Please confirm this evidence repair before treating the full-chain tests as proof.

💡 Codex Review

.rename(backup, parent, output_name)

P1 Badge Revalidate backup identity after the rollback rename

When another process swaps the backup name after the identity comparison at line 2263 but before this pathname-based rename, the comparison validates the retained directory and the rename still installs the substitute at output_name. The rollback then reports success even though the captured output remains stranded, so the reused-backup repair still has a check-to-use race. Fresh evidence at the current head is that the identity check and the restoring rename remain separate operations; verify the identity at the destination after the move and refuse/preserve any mismatching result before treating rollback as successful.

2176-2210: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The conflict path leaves an orphaned registry entry.

Line 2191 inserts a default ProcessLockState through or_default(). When conflicts is true, Lines 2196-2204 return an error and no guard is created. Only ProcessLockGuard::drop removes entries. The empty state therefore stays in PROCESS_OUTPUT_LOCKS for the process lifetime.

No incorrect exclusion follows, because an empty state conflicts with nothing. The cost is one permanently retained BTreeMap node per distinct failing lock identity. The edict CLI is short-lived, so this is bounded today. It stops being bounded if this module is ever driven from a long-lived host process.

Remove the entry before you return the conflict error.

🧹 Proposed fix
     if conflicts {
+        let remove = state.shared == 0 && !state.exclusive;
+        if remove {
+            locks.remove(&coordinate);
+        }
         return Err(failure(
             "LawpackOutputWriteFailed",

                 output.display()
             ),
         ));
     }

The stable LawpackOutputWriteFailed kind is unchanged, so no kind assertion regresses.

Do not create draft pull requests, and never use a codex prefix in branch names, pull request titles, or commit messages.
Pull requests for issue work must include GitHub auto-close text such as Closes #123`` for every issue they intend to close.
Use codex-think --remember --json when starting a session, entering the repository, or regaining context, and record significant durable events with `codex-think "..." --json`. Treat Think as memory rather than repository truth.

Use Mermaid diagrams for nontrivial flow, lifecycle, ownership, or component interaction when clearer than prose; every diagram requires an introductory paragraph, the diagram, the exact collapsed caption structure, and a concluding interpretation.
Tag each material technical claim at first occurrence as `[claim:, confidence:]`, cite evidence using repository-relative paths, line numbers, and Git SHAs, and end the explanatory body with a collapsed citations appendix.
If CodeRabbit is actively reviewing, obtain its approval before merge; if unavailable due to limits or credits, request `@codex review please` and wait for the alternate response. Do not treat unavailability as approval unless a maintainer explicitly overrides the gate.
For release preparation, write the release thesis first, reconcile changes from the previous tag, update release policy and tests, verify the milestone has no open issues and no unauthorized crates.io publication occurred, and record a durable release report.

Exact-head review refresh at 1b7ad702:

  • Fixed the three valid d9230a15 CodeRabbit findings in isolated signed commits.
  • Rejected the outside-diff registry-leak claim: a newly inserted default state has shared == 0 && !exclusive, so it cannot satisfy either conflict predicate; a state that does conflict represents a live holder and must remain registered.
  • Full local cargo xtask verify is green; GitHub CI is rerunning for this head.
  • Prior independent reviews are stale after these commits.

Pre-push self-audit findings

The exact local audit is running against local head 94ecd61203ab149f0119602013b4b2db7c6a575c (two signed commits beyond the currently published PR head). Two additional issues were found independently:

Priority Area Finding Disposition
P2 docs/topics/lawpack-authoring/README.md The guide said outputDirectory components were lowercase-only, but validate_output_directory_path accepts uppercase ASCII. This overstated the public grammar and obscured the case-alias threat. Corrected in signed local commit 94ecd612; the guide now describes the actual ASCII grammar and filesystem-identity confinement.
P1 fixtures/providers/components/inventory.json Adding the direct rustix dependency changes root Cargo.lock, which is an explicit provider-fixture source input. cargo xtask verify therefore rejects the stale source digest. Regenerated with cargo xtask provider-component-fixtures --write; only sourceDigest changed and component digests remained byte-identical. A separate signed commit and full rerun are pending.

@codex Please independently confirm these dispositions after the updated head is pushed. No merge, force operation, rebase, amendment, or review dismissal is authorized by this comment.

Code Lawyer exact-head activity summary

Head: 68aa21d7c8a95019bc0fa8de141882c716efd1ff

The latest independent report was reproduced against the branch rather than
accepted from prose. Two executable defects were current; one process-lock
claim was stale. Two additional self-audit consistency defects were also
closed. Each correction is isolated in a new signed commit; no commit was
amended, rebased, or force-pushed.

# Priority Source Finding Commit Outcome
35 P1 Third-party review Activation rename could replace an intervening empty directory 4144d0ef Capability-relative atomic no-replace moves preserve unknown destinations and refuse publication
36 P1 Third-party review Filesystem-equivalent output aliases could evade lexical dependency confinement 94ecd612 Existing output and traversed dependency parents are compared by retained filesystem identity
37 P2 Self Output-path guide contradicted the accepted grammar cd67035b Documentation now distinguishes accepted ASCII letters from reserved-name case aliases
38 P1 Self Direct dependency edge made generated fixture provenance stale 68aa21d7 Source inventory regenerated; all five provider component digests remain byte-identical
Rejected Third-party review Process exclusion still uses lexical PathBuf keys 3d816925 Current production registry already uses retained lock-file filesystem identity

RED / GREEN

  • The activation regression first observed Ok(()) and replacement of the
    injected empty directory. It now receives the stable typed rollback failure,
    preserves that substitute, and leaves the captured old output recoverable.
  • The case-alias dependency regression first loaded a valid bundle from inside
    the output alias. It now returns InvalidLawpackConfig. A second,
    host-independent regression proves the identity comparison on case-sensitive
    filesystems.
  • All 65 lawpack filesystem tests and all 98 Edict CLI unit tests pass.

Exact-head verification

  • cargo xtask verify: PASS
  • cargo deny --locked check: PASS (advisories, bans, licenses, sources)
  • cargo xtask provider-component-fixtures --check: PASS
  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD: PASS
  • 36/36 branch commits: good signatures
  • Worktree: clean
  • Unresolved inline review threads at the post-push audit: 0
  • GitHub CI: running on 68aa21d7
  • CodeRabbit: reviewing 68aa21d7
  • Merge: not authorized and not attempted

The PR body now names the exact head, current test counts, atomic no-replace
contract, dependency-identity behavior, direct rustix rationale, and pending
review status. Its former “no dependencies changed” statement has been removed.

@codex review please — perform a fresh independent exact-head review of
68aa21d7c8a95019bc0fa8de141882c716efd1ff. Do not rely on the clean review

Correct the documented publication commit point.

These lines state that backup cleanup commits the replacement. The implementation reopens the public name after exact-tree validation and treats that successful identity rebind as the commit point. Backup removal occurs after that boundary and is best effort. This also conflicts with Lines 279-282.

Proposed wording
- tree must still match the staged authoring result before backup cleanup commits
- the replacement. After exact-tree traversal, the public output name is reopened
- and must still identify that staged transaction before the captured backup is

Make the publication lifecycle an explicit numbered sequence.

This section describes ordered publication states but presents them as dense prose mixed with platform notes. Convert the lifecycle to a numbered list and keep platform limitations in a separate bullet list. This makes capture, activation, validation, rebind, and rollback boundaries unambiguous.

As per coding guidelines: **/*.md requires numbered lists for ordered procedures or states.

**/*: Never amend Git commits, use git rebase without explicit user approval, or force any Git operation; use new commits and regular merge commits instead.
Do not create draft pull requests, and never use a codex prefix in branch names, pull request titles, or commit messages.
Pull requests for issue work must include GitHub auto-close text such as Closes #123`` for every issue they intend to close.
Use codex-think --remember --json when starting a session, entering the repository, or regaining context, and record significant durable events with `codex-think "..." --json`. Treat Think as memory rather than repository truth.
Every pull request body must contain `## Plain-English Walkthrough` with `### TL;DR` and `### Walkthrough`, explaining the prior behavior, new model and dataflow, invariants, failures, compatibility, and verification as applicable.
Use Mermaid diagrams for nontrivial flow, lifecycle, ownership, or component interaction when clearer than prose; every diagram requires an introductory paragraph, the diagram, the exact collapsed caption structure, and a concluding interpretation.
Tag each material technical claim at first occurrence as `[claim:, confidence:]`, cite evidence using repository-relative paths, line numbers, and Git SHAs, and end the explanatory body with a collapsed citations appendix.
If CodeRabbit is actively reviewing, obtain its approval before merge; if unavailable due to limits or credits, request `@codex review please` and wait for the alternate response. Do not treat unavailability as approval unless a maintainer explicitly overrides the gate.
For release preparation, write the release thesis first, reconcile changes from the previous tag, update release policy and tests, verify the milestone has no open issues and no unauthorized crates.io publication occurred, and record a durable release report.
Run `cargo xtask verify` before claiming a branch is ready.

# Priority Source Finding Commit Outcome
39 P5 CodeRabbit Raw output-path grammar lacked concrete accepted/rejected examples 1b096393 Added branch-accurate accepted, backslash, repeated-separator, trailing-dot, and 230-byte examples with expected results

  • all 37 branch commits: good signatures

🔒 Review Candidate Freeze

PR #197 is now frozen for exact-head review.

Coordinate Value
Candidate 1b096393c940cdf6edde3696ad6bd1db0ac8358d
Base 382b514a9af73b07b9c9d814355eb09f43f2f5f2

Exact-head alternate review no major issues found
Native review decision blocked by 0 approvals and 3 historical change requests

Frozen contract

Edict provides strong failure-atomic lawpack publication within an
Edict-controlled publication root among publishers honoring its lock protocol.

External mutation of a shared publication namespace is interference. In that
environment Edict promises confinement to retained capabilities, no symbolic
link traversal, atomic no-replace moves for expected-vacant destinations,
substitution detection at declared observation boundaries, non-destruction of
unrecognized objects, and truthful typed commit or recovery outcomes.

Edict does not guarantee restoration of a pathname controlled by an
uncooperative writer, exclusion of writers that ignore its locks, an atomic
check-only snapshot, or progress under continual interference.

The successful post-validation public-name identity rebind is this directory
publisher's commit point. Activation and validation are provisional; subsequent
cleanup is best effort.

Candidate replacement policy

The branch must not advance for P2-P5 polish, refactoring, redundant assurance,
or unrelated cleanup. Only a demonstrated P0 or P1 violation of the frozen
contract may replace this candidate. Everything else is follow-up work.

A blocking review must identify:

  1. this exact candidate SHA;
  2. the frozen invariant violated;
  3. a concrete interleaving or contradiction;
  4. the observable P0/P1 consequence.

Historical-head findings and schedules whose only consequence is an explicit
non-guarantee do not replace the candidate.

The directory-swap publisher is now treated as a bounded containment and
compatibility implementation. Immutable generations plus a transactional
logical reference are a separate post-#197 architecture track.

No code, branch, review, ruleset, or merge state was changed by this
declaration; only the PR body and this review packet were updated.

P1 containment and replacement-candidate freeze

The demonstrated Windows P1 replaced the prior frozen candidate. One signed
commit was pushed normally; no commit was amended or rebased, no force
operation was used, and no review was dismissed.

Commit 0783477eFix: fail Windows lawpack builds closed
Unresolved inline threads before push 0
Native Windows backend parked in #198

P1 outcome

  • Removed the invalid Windows ordinary-rename implementation.
  • Windows now compiles a small fail-closed lawpack-build boundary instead of
    the unsupported transactional publisher.
  • Write mode returns LawpackOutputWriteUnsupported; check-only returns
    LawpackCheckUnsupported. Both occur before build-document or namespace I/O.
  • Added one windows-latest runtime test that begins with a missing document
    and a pre-existing sentinel tree, asserts both typed failures, and proves the
    sentinel remains unchanged.
  • Narrowed every durable support claim. No Windows transactional publication or
    filesystem-identity backend is claimed.

Exact-head local verification

  • cargo deny --locked check: PASS
  • cargo xtask provider-component-fixtures --check: PASS
  • cargo +stable check -p edict-cli --tests --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc: PASS

Exact-head gate result

Candidate 0783477ebe63ac7aa4b4e7710df7f8080028398f is now technically green.

Gate Result
Rust stable PASS
Rust MSRV 1.94.0 PASS
Supply chain PASS
Native Windows containment PASS
CodeRabbit exact-head review APPROVED
Codex exact-head review No major issues
Unresolved inline threads 0
GitHub merge state CLEAN
Worktree / published head clean and identical

The Windows runtime witness proves that both lawpack modes return their stable
typed unsupported failures before document or namespace I/O and preserve the
pre-existing sentinel tree. Native Windows implementation remains parked in
#198.

The candidate remains frozen. No merge, review dismissal, ruleset change, or
release was performed by this gate update.
