Issue for this PR

Closes #1200
Closes #1202
Closes #1207

Two commits, both in resolve.ts, both blocking the same rig. They are kept in one PR deliberately: a fourth PR would make the stack four deep on someone else's root (see below), and the diffs are small enough to read together.

Stack warning — please read before merging anything in this chain.
fix/driver-load-cwd-prefix (#1201) → fix/native-driver-resolution (#1192) → fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap (#1122) → main.

That is three deep, and the root (#1122) is @sahrizvi's, not mine. If #1122 is rebased, force-pushed, or squash-merged, both #1192 and this PR need rebasing, and a squash-merge of #1122 will make #1192's diff misread. I did not want to restructure someone else's PR to suit mine, so I am flagging it rather than acting on it.

This change genuinely depends on #1122 — it modifies resolve.ts, which #1122 creates; on main today the code path does not exist. But it is small, and folding it into #1192 would take the stack from three deep to two. I have no attachment to it being its own PR. That call belongs to whoever is driving #1192, or to Anand.

  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

The bug. A globally installed CLI (npm install -g, package tree under /usr/lib/node_modules/altimate-code) run from an unrelated working directory could not load any warehouse driver — 8 of 8 trials on a cold VM, against a build that already contained #1122 and #1192:

DuckDB driver found at duckdb but failed to load: ENOENT: no such file or directory,
open '<cwd>/usr/lib/node_modules/altimate-code/node_modules/duckdb/package.json'

The file exists at that path without the <cwd> prefix. Ambient resolution concatenated the working directory onto an already-absolute path. We cannot change that runtime behaviour — but it names the correct location in the error, and that is better evidence of where the package lives than anything we can infer.

searchRootsFromError() now mines the absolute paths an ambient failure quotes, repairs a concatenated working directory, and searches the enclosing node_modules ahead of the inferred roots. repairCwdPrefixedPath() is deliberately conservative — it fires only when the named path is absent, is genuinely prefixed by the working directory, and the de-prefixed remainder exists on disk. That last condition is what keeps a legitimately nested <cwd>/node_modules/… from being mangled, and it means a nonsense path contributes nothing.

The message was the second half of the bug. found at duckdb is loadFailure(driver, specifier, …) echoing the bare specifier, not a path the resolver returned. It reads as "we found it and it would not load" for a package that was never located at all — which is why this was first diagnosed as a load-path bug rather than a search-coverage one. It also routes around the good DriverNotInstalledError text #1192 added, because an ENOENT-shaped ambient error sets ambientBroken and takes the other branch.

Both sites that produced that wording now say what actually happened: the default module resolution failed, here is where we looked, and — when there was one — here is the on-disk copy we also tried. loadFailure is kept for the case where we do have a real path.

I preserved #1122's deliberate choice to lead with the ambient error when both copies are broken ("it is the copy the runtime would normally pick"); only the claim that the specifier is a location is gone.

Second commit — concurrent installs corrupt each other (#1202). The managed driver directory is shared by every CLI process on the machine, and installsInFlight is a module-level Map, so it serialises installs within one process and cannot see any other. Eight CLIs starting together each ran npm install --save over the same tree:

npm install failed (exit 217) … ENOTEMPTY …
  rmdir /root/.local/share/altimate-code/drivers/node_modules/duckdb/…

This is not benchmark-specific — two terminals, a CI matrix on one runner, or an editor integration beside a shell session all hit it, and the visible result is a driver reporting itself broken on a machine where nothing is wrong.

withInstallLock takes a cross-process lock before mutating. mkdir is atomic and fails EEXIST when the directory exists on both POSIX and Windows, which makes a lock directory the portable primitive here; it lives beside the install directory so npm never treats it as stray package content. After acquiring, readiness is re-checked — the peer that held the lock has usually just installed the thing everyone queued for, so most contenders return "already present" instead of running a second npm. Stale locks are broken two ways because neither alone suffices: a dead owner (only meaningful on the same host) and age (the only signal for a lock left by another host sharing a home directory). On timeout the install proceeds unlocked rather than failing — a racing install is recoverable and the readiness check afterwards is authoritative, whereas refusing to install because a peer is slow turns contention into a hard error.

Also: diagnostics on load failures. Two separate investigations have now diagnosed a driver-load failure from the error text alone and got it wrong, because the text named a path without saying what the process's own view of the filesystem was. Load failures now carry cwd, execPath, and an explicit note when a named path does not exist but its de-prefixed form does.

How did you verify your code works?

In the shape it occurs in, not in unit tests alone.

A probe compiled with the production Bun.build options from script/build.ts (external driver packages, autoloadPackageJson: true), laid out as a real global install — <prefix>/lib/node_modules/altimate-code/bin/altimate with a real npm install duckdb into the package (not a hand-built tree; my first synthetic attempt was missing @mapbox/node-pre-gyp and failed for an unrelated reason) — run from an unrelated cwd with no NODE_PATH and no ALTIMATE_BIN_DIR:

--- BASELINE (#1122 + #1192, unmodified) ---
loadDriver: FAILED DuckDB driver found at duckdb but failed to load: ENOENT: no such file
or directory, open '<cwd><abs>/global-prefix/lib/node_modules/altimate-code/node_modules/duckdb/package.json'

--- WITH FIX ---
loadDriver: OK, Database is function

8 fresh processes with the fix: 8/8 load the driver, matching the rig's 8/8 failures.

A green bun test --cwd packages/drivers is not evidence about resolution behaviour, and I did not treat it as such. That run has the drivers package's own node_modules reachable throughout, so a bare import("duckdb") succeeds there no matter what the resolver does — my first baseline attempt passed for exactly that reason and was worthless. Only a compiled binary (bunfs) removes that path and lets the baseline fail honestly. A colleague independently hit the same trap on a 140-pass run, so it is worth stating plainly rather than leaving a reviewer to wonder. Every resolution claim above comes from a compiled binary, never from bun in-tree.

Two things I found while reproducing, which correct the framing of the original report:

  • A faithful global-install layout on its own does not reproduce it. With the binary inside the package tree, the execPath walk-up finds the driver and everything works — I verified that end to end, including a real query returning a row. The trigger is an ENOENT-shaped ambient error combined with a binary outside the tree. So "global npm install" is not by itself the missing coverage; the ENOENT shape is.
  • found at duckdb was read as "resolution succeeded, loading re-anchored to cwd". It is not — nothing had been found, and the reported ENOENT is the ambient attempt, which we surface even after trying a different path. The wording caused the misdiagnosis.
Gate Result
bun run typecheck 13/13 successful
analyze.ts --markers --base origin/main --strict ok — all custom code properly marked
bun run lint 5903 warnings, 1 error — byte-identical to main's own baseline; the error is the known pre-existing consistent-return in packages/http-recorder/test/record-replay.test.ts
packages/drivers full suite 273 pass, 0 fail
packages/opencode test/altimate 4226 pass, 0 fail (151 files)
bun run typecheck (forced, no cache) 13/13 successful

Eight new tests against real directories on disk, because the whole mechanism is path existence. They cover the repair (fires; declines when the path exists; declines on a legitimately nested path; declines when the remainder is absent), the harvesting, the end-to-end load from a harvested root, and the message no longer claiming found at duckdb.

Concurrency (#1202), verified with real processes. The exclusion claim is about separate processes, so the test spawns four and asserts their critical sections never interleave. The control confirms the test actually bites — the same four processes without the lock interleave completely:

enter 1     enter 3     enter 0     enter 2     exit 0     exit 1     exit 2     exit 3

which the assertion rejects on the second enter. 10/10 repeat runs green. The other four tests cover the unlocked-on-timeout path, both stale-lock signals, and release on throw.

A flaky test you may see, which is not mine. test/altimate/tools/sample-setup.test.ts intermittently fails 1–3 of its 8 tests at exactly 5000ms. Its execFile probe for the dbt runtime uses a 5000ms timeout and the test's own timeout is also 5000ms, so under machine load it races itself. It fails the same way on this branch with my commits stashed, sample_setup touches none of the code I changed, and it passes 8/8 on an idle machine. Pre-existing, worth its own fix, not this PR.

Windows shapes and the multi-peer wait (review round 3). Three gaps, each pinned by a test that fails with its own fix reverted — 1 of 10 for each Windows shape, 1 of 14 for the wait:

  • installLockPath special-cased the POSIX and drive-letter roots but not a UNC share root, so \\server\share became \\server\share.lock — a different network share, meaning two processes installing into the share would not share a lock at all.
  • The path-harvesting regex accepted POSIX and drive-letter absolutes only, so a Windows error quoting \\server\share\node_modules\duckdb\package.json yielded no roots and a driver on a share stayed unfindable despite the error naming its exact location. The pattern is now the named export quotedAbsolutePaths, testable from any platform.
  • The lock budget was per wait, so it only ever outlasted one holder; with three or more contenders the last one's deadline expired mid-install and it fell through to an unlocked performInstall. It is now per holder, with a bounded number of extensions.

The chdir arm was hardened after review, and the reason generalises. It originally asked for duckdb — which the repo's own packages/drivers/node_modules satisfies through the execPath and module-location roots regardless of what the resolver does, and which no environment isolation can suppress. It would have passed while proving nothing. It now uses specifiers that exist nowhere but the tree each test builds and asserts on an export marker, so a pass establishes which root satisfied the load rather than that something, somewhere, was found.

Not verified by me:

  • Windows, on Windows. The lock-path and harvesting logic now cover POSIX, drive-letter and UNC shapes and are unit-tested for all three, but every one of those tests ran on macOS. They are string-level assertions that do not touch the filesystem, which is what makes them meaningful off-platform — and also what stops them proving anything about real UNC I/O.
  • The exact runtime conditions that make ambient resolution emit ENOENT rather than ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND. On my machine the compiled binary reports the latter; I reproduced the ENOENT path by injecting it through the importer parameter loadOptionalDriver already exposes for testing. The fix does not depend on knowing the trigger — it keys on the error naming a repairable path — but that half is inference, not observation.
  • Whether any other call site depends on the old found at <specifier> wording. I grepped and found none, but string matching on error text is easy to miss.
  • I could not reproduce the originally reported failure on a Linux VM, and want that on the record. On a fresh Debian 12 GCE instance I built the exact reported shape — npm install -g tree at /usr/lib/node_modules/altimate-code, a real npm install duckdb beside it, the manifest declaring duckdb, run as root from an unrelated cwd, compiled binary with production options — and every load strategy succeeded: bare-specifier ambient import failed as expected, but import(file://abs), createRequire(abs), a cwd-anchored createRequire, and the real loadOptionalDriver all returned a working Database. So Bun is not re-anchoring absolute paths in that configuration, and the remaining difference between that VM and the rig is not yet identified. The fix in the first commit is still correct and still removes a real failure mode; I just cannot claim it closes the rig's specific case, and the new diagnostics exist so the next occurrence answers the question instead of costing another round trip.

Note

High Risk
Changes core driver resolution, load semantics, and shared install directory locking; workspace exclusion and argv mutation affect security-sensitive credential boundaries and global process state.

Overview
Fixes warehouse driver loading when ambient resolution fails with cwd-prefixed absolute paths (e.g. global CLI run from another directory) and when concurrent installs corrupt the managed driver tree.

Resolution and load path: After a failed ambient import, the resolver now mines quoted absolute paths from the error (searchRootsFromError), repairs <cwd> + absolute path concatenation (repairCwdPrefixedPath), walks all enclosing node_modules roots, and appends those roots after managed/trusted search roots so stale copies do not win. Workspace node_modules (including nested and symlinked targets) are never harvested, preserving the permission boundary. Loads use createRequire anchored at the resolved file plus temporary process.argv neutralization so @mapbox/node-pre-gyp does not misread --dir as --directory. safeCwd() replaces process.cwd() where a deleted cwd would mask the real failure; load errors add cwd/execPath and cwd-prefix hints.

Install concurrency: withInstallLock serializes cross-process npm install into the shared driver directory via an atomic held lock file with UUID tokens, stale recovery (rename + token checks), per-holder wait budgets, and unlocked fallback on timeout. warehouse_install_driver now requests permission for the lock container (installLockPath) alongside the driver dir.

Walkthrough

Changes

The driver resolver now recovers package paths from runtime errors, supports POSIX, drive-letter, and UNC paths, and remains functional when the cwd changes or becomes unavailable. Driver installation now uses cross-process locks with stale recovery, handover tracking, timeout fallback, and explicit lock-directory permissions.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 59a98

This PR improves driver discovery and normally serializes shared installs, but timeout or lock-acquisition failures can still permit concurrent writes to the managed driver directory, leaving drivers incomplete or unusable. An open path-containment concern and a concurrency-test reliability issue also require explicit follow-up before merge.

Explanation

The changes address #1200 and #1207 with path harvesting, corrected diagnostics, safe cwd handling, and related tests. They also implement the requested #1202 lock and readiness behavior, but the author reports unresolved stale-claim and mutual-exclusion concerns and states that the current lock is not a proof of exclusion.

Resolution

Resolve the documented lock-correctness concerns, especially stale-claim races and detached install-process handling. Use a locking design that guarantees cross-process mutual exclusion, then rerun the contention and recovery tests before merging.

Contributor Author

Rebased onto main and retargeted — force-push explained.

The stack this PR sat on was collapsed by squash-merges, so the base had to move. What happened, in order:

Leaving this PR based on fix/native-driver-resolution would have made its diff re-include ~18 commits' worth of content that main already holds as a squash commit, so the PR would have misread entirely.

What I did: git rebase --onto origin/main 212f4546 fix/driver-load-cwd-prefix — replaying only this PR's own two commits — then force-pushed with --force-with-lease and retargeted the base to main.

4f0abf327f16ac5e5e03. Nothing was squashed, dropped, or amended in content.

Verification that the rebase is faithful. I diffed the pre-rebase patch (212f4546...4f0abf32) against the post-rebase patch (origin/main...16ac5e5e03). Ignoring blob hashes and hunk headers, they are byte-identical. The only change is that hunk offsets shift by exactly 8 lines, which is precisely the net size of #1192's hunk that is absent from main. GitHub now computes the same 3 files / +558 / −6 as before the rebase, and both commits survive:

Neither commit is redundant against merged main. I checked rather than assumed: searchRootsFromError, repairCwdPrefixedPath, withInstallLock, ambientLoadFailure and loadDiagnostics all have zero occurrences in main's resolve.ts, and installsInFlight is still a module-level Map there (line 726) — so the cross-process install race in #1202 is live on main today.


⚠️ Separate finding for whoever owns #1192 — its fix is currently orphaned and not on main.

Because #1192 merged into fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap rather than main, and #1122 (the only PR from that branch to main) had already merged 43 seconds earlier, #1192's change never reached main. Concretely, main's DriverNotInstalledError still emits the bare Searched 0 locations: message that #1192 fixed. The improved text lives only on fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap, which has no open PR.

This is not something I should fix from inside this PR, and I deliberately did not fold #1192's commit into this branch — that would put someone else's already-merged work into my diff. It needs its own PR to main. Flagging it rather than acting on it.

It is also why packages/drivers reports 236 pass here instead of the 238 in the description: the two missing tests are #1192's own, and they are not on main. Not a regression.

Gates, re-run on the rebased branch:

Gate Result
bun run typecheck 13/13 successful
analyze.ts --markers --base origin/main --strict ok — no upstream-shared files modified
bun run lint 5903 warnings, 1 error — identical to main's own baseline, measured by checking out main and re-running. The error is the known pre-existing consistent-return in packages/http-recorder/test/record-replay.test.ts. The 7 resolve.ts diagnostics are present on main too, merely shifted.
packages/drivers 236 pass, 0 fail
packages/opencode test/altimate 4226 pass, 0 fail (151 files)

The pre-rebase head is preserved at backup/1201-pre-rebase (4f0abf327f53a67bd0cd22ed15adb549793f5ad2) if anyone needs to diff against it; I will delete that branch once this lands.

…e the install lock hold

Review findings on #1201, grouped by what they actually break.

**Harvested roots crossed a deliberate security boundary.** `driverSearchRoots()`
refuses project and ancestor `node_modules` because importing a workspace-
controlled SDK during a warehouse read/test bypasses the permission boundary and
can expose resolved credentials. `searchRootsFromError()` mined any absolute path
an error quoted and prepended it, so an ambient failure naming a project-local
`node_modules` routed straight around that invariant. Harvested roots are now
filtered through the same exclusion.

**They also preempted the managed installation.** Prepending meant a stale or
broken copy the runtime happened to name won over the driver we installed, which
inverts the documented "managed install dir comes first" ordering. Trusted roots
now come first and harvested roots are appended, which still recovers the
original failure: a harvested root is reached whenever the roots ahead of it
resolve nothing.

**Windows never harvested anything.** The extraction regex accepts `C:/…` and
`C:\…`, but the `node_modules` marker is built from `path.sep`, so a
forward-slash path could never match a backslash marker. `enclosingNodeModulesRoot`
normalises separators, and takes `sep` as a parameter so the Windows behaviour is
tested from a POSIX host rather than asserted. `repairCwdPrefixedPath` now also
handles the two Windows concatenation shapes, which have no separator to carry.

**The lock silently degraded to unlocked in exactly the cold-start case it exists
for.** `<dir>.lock` sits beside the managed directory, and on a fresh machine
nothing has created the XDG data directory yet — `performInstall` is the first
thing that does, and it runs after the lock attempt. The non-recursive `mkdir`
failed ENOENT, took the "cannot lock" branch, and dropped every concurrent CLI
into an unlocked install. The parent is now created first.

**Stale-lock recovery could admit two installers.** Two processes could both
judge a lock stale, and deleting by pathname let the loser delete the winner's
fresh lock. Claiming is now a `rename`, which exactly one process can win.

**A lock could be released out from under its successor.** An owner whose lock
was broken as stale would, on the way out, delete the lock a peer had since
taken. Release now only removes a lock still carrying its own token.

**Age aged out live installs.** `isStaleLock` applied the age check
unconditionally, so a live same-host owner running a slow native build past
`staleAfterMs` had its lock broken and a peer entered — reintroducing the very
ENOTEMPTY race. Where liveness is decidable (owner on this host) it is now the
only signal; age applies only where it cannot be (no readable owner, or another
host sharing a home directory).

**The lock path was outside the approved permission pattern.** The tool asks for
`external_directory` on `<dir>/*`, but the lock is the sibling `<dir>.lock` — so
creating, writing and removing it mutated an external path the user never
approved. It is now included in the request.

**Two unrelated cwd faults on the failure path.** `process.cwd()` throws once the
working directory is removed, and both `loadDiagnostics` and — pre-existing —
`resolveOptionalPackage`'s `createRequire` anchor called it unguarded while a
driver failure was being formatted, replacing the real diagnosis with an
unrelated `uv_cwd` ENOENT. Both are guarded; the anchor never needed cwd, since
resolution is driven by the explicit `paths`.

Tests. The two end-to-end resolution tests used the specifier `duckdb`, which the
repository's own `packages/drivers/node_modules` can satisfy no matter what the
harvesting code does — they passed while proving nothing, and would have kept
passing after the reordering above. They now use specifiers that exist nowhere
but the tree the test builds, and assert on an export marker, so they establish
which root actually satisfied the load. The cross-process exclusion test gained a
start barrier: without one, a scheduler that ran the four children serially
satisfied the no-overlap assertion even with a completely broken lock. The
control confirms the barriered test still bites — four unlocked children
interleave completely (enter 1, enter 2, enter 3, enter 0) and the assertion
rejects on the second enter. 9 repeat runs, 72/72 green.

Not verified: Windows on hardware. The separator handling is now unit-tested
through the `sep` parameter, but nothing here ran on Windows.

acquisition, not only by owner.json.token. Pass the captured directory inode or
equivalent identity into releaseInstallLock and refuse removal when the current
lock directory identity differs; retain token validation for matching
directories and handle unreadable owner files without deleting a replaced peer
lock.

and scope.ancestors through realpathSync before performing containment checks,
while retaining the existing lexical-path behavior as a fallback whenever
realpathSync fails. Ensure resolveOptionalPackage continues excluding symlinked

A globally installed CLI (`npm install -g`, package tree under
`/usr/lib/node_modules/altimate-code`) run from an unrelated working directory
could not load any warehouse driver — 8 of 8 trials on a cold VM:

    DuckDB driver found at duckdb but failed to load: ENOENT: no such file or
    directory, open '<cwd>/usr/lib/node_modules/altimate-code/node_modules/duckdb/package.json'

The file exists at that path without the `<cwd>` prefix. Ambient resolution
concatenated the working directory onto an already-absolute path, which is a
runtime behaviour we cannot change — but it names the correct location in the
error, and that is better evidence than anything we can infer.

`searchRootsFromError` now mines the paths an ambient failure quotes, repairs a
concatenated working directory, and searches the enclosing `node_modules`
first. `repairCwdPrefixedPath` is deliberately conservative: it fires only when
the named path is absent, is genuinely prefixed by the working directory, and
the de-prefixed remainder exists on disk, so a legitimately nested
`<cwd>/node_modules/…` is left alone.

The message was the second half of the bug. `found at duckdb` named the bare
specifier as though it were a location, so a package that had never been
located anywhere read as a load failure at a known path — which is why this was
diagnosed as a load bug rather than a search-coverage one. Both sites that
produced it now say what actually happened: the default module resolution
failed, here is where we looked, and here is the on-disk copy we also tried.

Verified in the shape it occurs in, not in unit tests alone: a probe compiled
with the production `Bun.build` options (`external`, `autoloadPackageJson`),
laid out as a real `npm install -g` tree with a real `npm install duckdb`, run
from an unrelated cwd with no `NODE_PATH` and no `ALTIMATE_BIN_DIR`.

    before: 8/8 fail, reproducing the reported message verbatim
    after:  8/8 load the driver

The managed driver directory is shared by every CLI process on the machine,
and `installsInFlight` is an in-process Map — it cannot see other processes.
Eight CLIs starting together each ran `npm install` over the same tree:

    npm install failed (exit 217) … ENOTEMPTY …
      rmdir /root/.local/share/altimate-code/drivers/node_modules/duckdb/…

That is not benchmark-specific. Any concurrent use of the CLI hits it, and the
result is a driver that appears broken on a machine where nothing is wrong.

`withInstallLock` takes a cross-process lock before mutating the directory.
`mkdir` is atomic and fails EEXIST when the directory exists on both POSIX and
Windows, which makes a lock directory the portable primitive; it lives beside
the install directory so npm never sees it as stray package content. Stale
locks are broken two ways, because neither alone is sufficient: a dead owner on
this host, and age, which is the only signal available for a lock left by
another host sharing a home directory.

After acquiring, readiness is re-checked. The peer that held the lock has
usually just installed the very thing we queued for, so most contenders return
"already present" rather than running a second npm over the same tree.

On timeout the install proceeds unlocked rather than failing: a racing install
is recoverable and the readiness check afterwards is authoritative, whereas
refusing to install because a peer is slow turns contention into a hard error.

Also adds cwd/execPath and a cwd-prefix note to driver load failures. Two
separate investigations have now diagnosed a load failure from the error text
alone and got it wrong, because the text named a path without saying what the
process's own view of the filesystem was.

The exclusion claim is about separate processes, so the test spawns separate
processes — an in-process test cannot establish it. The control confirms the
test bites: the same four processes without the lock interleave completely
(four enters before any exit). 10/10 repeat runs green.

…e the install lock hold

Review findings on #1201, grouped by what they actually break.

**Harvested roots crossed a deliberate security boundary.** `driverSearchRoots()`
refuses project and ancestor `node_modules` because importing a workspace-
controlled SDK during a warehouse read/test bypasses the permission boundary and
can expose resolved credentials. `searchRootsFromError()` mined any absolute path
an error quoted and prepended it, so an ambient failure naming a project-local
`node_modules` routed straight around that invariant. Harvested roots are now
filtered through the same exclusion.

**They also preempted the managed installation.** Prepending meant a stale or
broken copy the runtime happened to name won over the driver we installed, which
inverts the documented "managed install dir comes first" ordering. Trusted roots
now come first and harvested roots are appended, which still recovers the
original failure: a harvested root is reached whenever the roots ahead of it
resolve nothing.

**Windows never harvested anything.** The extraction regex accepts `C:/…` and
`C:\…`, but the `node_modules` marker is built from `path.sep`, so a
forward-slash path could never match a backslash marker. `enclosingNodeModulesRoot`
normalises separators, and takes `sep` as a parameter so the Windows behaviour is
tested from a POSIX host rather than asserted. `repairCwdPrefixedPath` now also
handles the two Windows concatenation shapes, which have no separator to carry.

**The lock silently degraded to unlocked in exactly the cold-start case it exists
for.** `<dir>.lock` sits beside the managed directory, and on a fresh machine
nothing has created the XDG data directory yet — `performInstall` is the first
thing that does, and it runs after the lock attempt. The non-recursive `mkdir`
failed ENOENT, took the "cannot lock" branch, and dropped every concurrent CLI
into an unlocked install. The parent is now created first.

**Stale-lock recovery could admit two installers.** Two processes could both
judge a lock stale, and deleting by pathname let the loser delete the winner's
fresh lock. Claiming is now a `rename`, which exactly one process can win.

**A lock could be released out from under its successor.** An owner whose lock
was broken as stale would, on the way out, delete the lock a peer had since
taken. Release now only removes a lock still carrying its own token.

**Age aged out live installs.** `isStaleLock` applied the age check
unconditionally, so a live same-host owner running a slow native build past
`staleAfterMs` had its lock broken and a peer entered — reintroducing the very
ENOTEMPTY race. Where liveness is decidable (owner on this host) it is now the
only signal; age applies only where it cannot be (no readable owner, or another
host sharing a home directory).

**The lock path was outside the approved permission pattern.** The tool asks for
`external_directory` on `<dir>/*`, but the lock is the sibling `<dir>.lock` — so
creating, writing and removing it mutated an external path the user never
approved. It is now included in the request.

**Two unrelated cwd faults on the failure path.** `process.cwd()` throws once the
working directory is removed, and both `loadDiagnostics` and — pre-existing —
`resolveOptionalPackage`'s `createRequire` anchor called it unguarded while a
driver failure was being formatted, replacing the real diagnosis with an
unrelated `uv_cwd` ENOENT. Both are guarded; the anchor never needed cwd, since
resolution is driven by the explicit `paths`.

Tests. The two end-to-end resolution tests used the specifier `duckdb`, which the
repository's own `packages/drivers/node_modules` can satisfy no matter what the
harvesting code does — they passed while proving nothing, and would have kept
passing after the reordering above. They now use specifiers that exist nowhere
but the tree the test builds, and assert on an export marker, so they establish
which root actually satisfied the load. The cross-process exclusion test gained a
start barrier: without one, a scheduler that ran the four children serially
satisfied the no-overlap assertion even with a completely broken lock. The
control confirms the barriered test still bites — four unlocked children
interleave completely (enter 1, enter 2, enter 3, enter 0) and the assertion
rejects on the second enter. 9 repeat runs, 72/72 green.

Not verified: Windows on hardware. The separator handling is now unit-tested
through the `sep` parameter, but nothing here ran on Windows.

… root

Second review round. One of these is a bug the previous commit introduced.

**The stale-claim branch could spin forever.** `claimStaleLock` returned without
reporting failure and the loop `continue`d unconditionally, skipping both the
deadline check and the sleep. A claim that fails persistently — a lock owned by
another user, or a container that permits inspection but not rename — meant
`mkdir` EEXIST, judged stale, claim fails, repeat, at full CPU with no timeout.
The claim now reports success, and only a successful claim skips the wait; a
failed one falls through to the normal deadline-and-sleep path. The regression
test hangs rather than fails if that bound is lost again.

**Stale recovery could still move a live lock aside.** The rename made two
cleaners safe against each other, but not against the stale→fresh transition: a
peer could release and re-acquire between the staleness verdict and the rename.
The claim now re-reads the owner record before renaming, and — because nothing
makes "read the owner" and "rename" one operation — verifies what it actually
moved afterwards, restoring it if a peer had re-taken the lock. That narrows the
window rather than closing it, which is stated plainly rather than implied.

**Liveness-only staleness could wedge the lock permanently.** Making a live
same-host owner immune to age fixed the interrupted-install bug but introduced a
worse one: `processExists` answers "some process holds this pid", so a crashed
owner whose pid is recycled by an unrelated long-lived process would hold the
lock forever, with every later install waiting out its timeout and then running
unlocked. A live owner is now protected only up to a backstop far beyond any
real npm run (1h default), which bounds the wedge without interrupting an
install.

**Release could delete a successor's lock during a window the token cannot
cover.** The directory is created before `owner.json` is written, so a successor
that re-took the lock in that window holds a live lock carrying no token, and the
token check let it be removed. Release now also compares the lock directory's
inode, captured at acquire.

**Every path this mechanism writes now sits under one approved prefix.** Stale
recovery renamed the lock to a sibling of the container, which the tool's
`<dir>.lock/*` permission does not cover. The atomic lock moved inside the
container as `<dir>.lock/held`, and claims rename to `<dir>.lock/stale-…`, so
both are covered by the pattern already brokered.

**The lock wait could be shorter than the install it waits on.** The two
timeouts were independent constants: raising the install timeout past the lock
wait meant a contender gave up while the holder's npm was still running and then
installed unlocked over the same tree. The lock wait is now derived from the
install timeout.

**Nested dependency paths harvested the wrong root.** A quoted path such as
`/opt/node_modules/duckdb/node_modules/node-addon-api/…` yielded only the
innermost `node_modules`, which holds the dependency — while the driver being
looked for sits in the outer one, so it was never found. All enclosing roots are
now harvested, innermost first, each subject to the same workspace exclusion.

**The workspace exclusion compared lexical paths while resolution followed
symlinks.** A link whose lexical path sits outside the working directory but
whose target sits inside it passed the check and would have been imported.
Containment now compares real paths, falling back to lexical when the link
cannot be followed.

Gates: typecheck 13/13 (forced, not cached); marker check ok; lint 5903 warnings
and 1 error, byte-identical to `main`'s own baseline (the error is the known
pre-existing `consistent-return` in `packages/http-recorder/test/record-replay.test.ts`);
`packages/drivers` 255 pass; `test/altimate` 4226 pass. Lock tests 99/99 across 9
repeat runs.

… absolute

Two narrow fixes from the latest review round.

**The workspace exclusion failed open when `process.cwd()` was unavailable.**
`isWorkspaceRoot` returned false with no working directory to compare against,
so every `node_modules` root an error happened to name was admitted — turning
the one case where the process cannot see its own filesystem into the case with
no boundary at all. It now fails closed: no cwd means no harvested roots. This
was introduced by the guard added two commits ago, which is exactly the sort of
thing a fail-open default hides.

**A filesystem root lost its leading separator when deriving the lock path.**
`installLockPath` stripped every trailing separator, so `/` became the relative
`.lock` and `C:\` the drive-relative `C:.lock`. Two processes started from
different working directories would then take different locks while installing
into the same directory, which is the concurrent-npm mutation the lock exists to
prevent. Roots are now left intact; trailing separators are still stripped
everywhere else so `<dir>/` and `<dir>` agree on one lock.

Gates: typecheck 13/13 (forced); marker check ok; lint 5903 warnings and 1 error,
identical to `main`'s baseline; `packages/drivers` 258 pass; `test/altimate` 4226
pass.

…t `--dir`

Six pilots were spent on a driver-load failure that only appeared under
`--dir`, which calls `process.chdir()` (cli/cmd/run.ts) before any driver is
loaded. Every local verification — and the rig's own pre-flight probe — ran
without a chdir, so a green suite said nothing about the configuration that
actually failed. This is the same class as an `--instance-dir` arm that never
exercised the code it existed to test.

Four tests: resolve before and after a chdir and compare, resolve from a
directory unrelated to the install tree, assert a package present only under
the working directory is never resolved out of it, and check that a chdir
between two resolutions does not change the answer.

They pass on the current resolver, which is the point — this is a guard, not a
bug report. `resolveOptionalPackage` drives resolution from the explicit
`paths` argument rather than from the anchor's base, so the working directory
does not currently reach the result. That is a property worth pinning, because
it is invisible in review and its absence is expensive to diagnose.

Measured, not assumed: on Debian 12, with a binary cross-compiled using the
production compile options against a real `npm install -g` tree and a real
`npm install duckdb`, run as root from an unrelated directory, adding a
`process.chdir()` between process start and driver load changed nothing. Bare
import, `import(file://)`, `createRequire(abs)`, the `__dirname` a loaded CJS
module sees, and `loadOptionalDriver` were byte-identical with and without it,
and all succeeded. So on Bun 1.3.14 a compiled binary does not re-anchor
absolute module paths after a chdir, and chdir alone does not explain the field
failure.

…r budget

Three review-round gaps, two of them Windows shapes that a macOS suite cannot
notice on its own.

**`installLockPath` broke on a UNC share root.** It special-cased the POSIX and
drive-letter roots but not `\\server\share`, which stripped to
`\\server\share.lock` — naming a *different network share* rather than anything
inside the directory being locked. Two processes installing into a share would
then take different locks, which is the concurrent npm mutation the lock exists
to prevent. Root detection now covers all three shapes and the lock always
lands inside the root.

**The harvesting regex accepted no UNC path.** A Windows error quoting
`\\server\share\node_modules\duckdb\package.json` yielded no roots at all, so a
driver on a share stayed unfindable even though the error named its exact
location. The pattern is now a named export, so the claim is testable from any
platform instead of resting on inspection.

**The lock wait outlasted only one peer.** Every process counts its deadline
from its own start, so a single budget covers a single holder; with three or
more contenders the last one's deadline expired part-way through somebody
else's install and it fell through to an unlocked `performInstall`. The budget
is now per holder — seeing the lock change hands is proof the queue is moving
rather than wedged — with a bounded number of extensions so a machine that
keeps feeding in contenders cannot block a caller indefinitely.

Each test fails with its own fix reverted and passes with it: 1 of 10 for each
Windows shape, 1 of 14 for the multi-peer wait. The multi-peer test spawns real
processes, holds 400ms against a 600ms budget, and asserts none of the three
ran unlocked. 12/12 repeat runs green.

Also hardens the chdir arm per review. It asked for `duckdb`, which the repo's
own `packages/drivers/node_modules` satisfies through the execPath and
module-location roots no matter what the resolver does — it would have passed
while proving nothing. It now uses specifiers that exist nowhere but the tree
each test builds and asserts on an export marker, so a pass establishes which
root satisfied the load.

…rocess cwd

Measured twice independently, from a global install run under `--dir`: the
package manifest consulted while loading a resolved driver is looked up at the
working directory concatenated onto the driver's absolute path.

    ENOENT ... open '<cwd>/usr/lib/.../duckdb/package.json'

while the file exists at that path without the `<cwd>` prefix. Materialising
that concatenated path makes the failing invocation pass, and so does running
with cwd `/`, which makes the concatenation a no-op. Both directions agree, so
the working directory is an input to a lookup that has no business consulting
it.

There is no invocation-level fix: `--dir` is itself what sets the working
directory (`cli/cmd/run.ts`), so cwd `/` and `--dir <run_dir>` are mutually
exclusive.

`import(pathToFileURL(abs))` is not enough, because it is the ESM loader's own
manifest lookup that goes through cwd. Loading through a CommonJS require
anchored at the resolved file makes every nested lookup — the manifest included
— relative to the driver's own directory. The drivers loaded this way are
CommonJS; an ESM-only package still needs the loader, so that path remains and
is taken only for the error that specifically means "this is ESM".

`process.chdir()` around the load would also neutralise the concatenation and
is deliberately not used. It is global mutable state, these loads happen under
concurrency, and it would corrupt resolution for unrelated work
non-deterministically — worse than the fault it patches.

The regression test loads a fixture that reports its own `__dirname` while the
working directory is elsewhere, so the assertion is about which directory the
module came from rather than that it merely loaded. With the load site
reverted it fails, and it fails with the field's exact shape: "failed to load
from the default module resolution: ENOENT ... package.json / A copy at ... was
also tried and failed to load".

Note what that test does and does not establish. It proves the load no longer
routes through the ESM loader, which is the fix's mechanism. It does not
simulate the runtime's cwd-joining itself — no environment outside the affected
rig has reproduced that, across eight eliminated hypotheses — so the end-to-end
confirmation has to come from a build run there.

`@mapbox/node-pre-gyp`, which packages several native modules including DuckDB,
resolves a module's manifest by parsing the **host application's**
`process.argv`. `find()` passes `argv: process.argv` into its own `Run`, `nopt`
abbreviation-matches whatever it finds against node-pre-gyp's option list, and
`node-pre-gyp.js:164` then does:

    package_json_path = path.join(this.opts.directory, package_json_path)

`path.join`, not `path.resolve` — so an absolute manifest path is not
discarded. Our `--dir` abbreviates to node-pre-gyp's `--directory`, so
`altimate-code run --dir <project>` made the driver look for its manifest at
`<project>` concatenated with the manifest's own absolute path, and the load
failed with an ENOENT naming a path that had never existed.

That the failing path also looked cwd-prefixed was a coincidence: `--dir` is
what sets the working directory, so the two values were always equal.

Driver loads now run with `process.argv` trimmed to `[argv[0], argv[1]]`.
Swapping a global is safe here in a way `process.chdir()` would not be: the
load is a synchronous `require`, JavaScript is single-threaded, and there is no
`await` between the swap and the restore, so no concurrent work can observe it.
The asynchronous ESM fallback is deliberately left alone for that reason.

Considered and rejected: renaming `--dir`. The collision is real, but the flag
is public, renaming breaks every existing invocation, and it would fix only the
one option name that happens to collide today rather than the mechanism.

Not specific to us, to DuckDB, or to a compiled binary — any CLI embedding a
node-pre-gyp-packaged module and accepting a flag that abbreviates to
`--directory` is exposed. A long argv in a compiled binary only made it
visible. Of the drivers installed here, only `duckdb` pulls in node-pre-gyp
today; the fix is applied to every driver load rather than to DuckDB, because
the exposure is a property of the packaging tool, not of the driver.

The regression test reproduces the arithmetic of the one line that broke: a
fixture that reads `--dir` out of `process.argv` and joins it onto its own
absolute manifest path. With the neutralisation reverted it fails, reporting
the flag as seen. Two further tests pin that the command line is restored
afterwards, including when the load throws.

Resolves 17 of the 28 open review threads on this PR (chatgpt-codex-connector,
cubic-dev-ai, kilo-code-bot, coderabbitai), leaves 7 open with a design
question or a duplicate pointer, and folds in #1205's empty-searched-roots
error-message fix (that PR was closed as redundant with this one).

Fixed:
- `isWorkspaceRoot()` compared a harvested root against ancestor `node_modules`
  by exact equality, so a *nested* dependency root under an ancestor
  (`.../node_modules/host/node_modules/duckdb`) slipped past the exclusion
  when the CLI started below the project root — a real workspace-boundary
  bypass (P1). Now uses containment via a new `isWithin` helper.
- `isRequireOfEsm()` did not recognize Node's `ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE` or
  Bun's equivalent message, so an ESM-only driver with top-level `await`
  was reported as broken instead of falling through to dynamic import.
  Verified the exact Node 22 error shape empirically.
- `LockHolder` now carries an optional `budgetMs`, published from the
  holder's own effective `hardStaleAfterMs` (itself now derived from the
  configured install `timeoutMs`, not a fixed constant). `isStaleLock`
  prefers a live holder's declared budget over a contender's own generic
  backstop, so a default-configured contender no longer reclaims a lock
  whose owner explicitly configured a longer install timeout.
- `isFilesystemRoot()` now recognizes extended-length UNC
  (`\\?\UNC\server\share`) and forward-slash UNC (`//server/share`) roots,
  alongside the plain backslash UNC form already handled.
- `DriverNotInstalledError` named no location when the searched-roots list
  was empty (bare "Searched 0 locations:"); now names the expected managed
  `node_modules` directory. This is #1205's fix, folded in here since that
  PR was closed as redundant.
- Two detached JSDoc blocks reattached to the functions they document.
- Test-quality fixes: `resolve-chdir.test.ts` beforeEach now restores cwd
  so tests don't depend on execution order; the cwd-prefix-repair test now
  actually constructs a concatenated path instead of one already resolvable
  without the repair; `install-lock.test.ts`'s multi-peer test gained a
  start barrier so it can't pass vacuously; `resolve-argv-isolation.test.ts`
  tests marked `test.serial` against a future concurrent test run.

Left open (design questions, replied in-thread rather than resolved
unilaterally):
- Stale-lock reclamation and release are built on comparing owner records
  across a directory rename, which several reviewers (from different
  angles — ownerless-lock races, inode reuse, TOCTOU on stale-claim
  restore, non-atomic release) converge on as needing a different
  primitive: an `O_EXCL` sentinel carrying an acquisition token, not the
  current rename-and-compare protocol. Four of these were already
  triaged and left open in-thread before this pass; seven more converging
  on the same conclusion are now replied to and left open as duplicates
  or extensions of that same finding.
- A contender's wait deadline is still derived only from its own
  `timeoutMs`, not a holder's declared budget — attempted an unconditional
  extension and reverted it after it blocked a short-timeout caller for a
  holder's entire remaining budget (over two hours in testing). Left open
  with two bounded-design options rather than picking one.
- Canonicalizing `ALTIMATE_DRIVER_DIR` before deriving the lock path (so a
  symlink and its real path share a lock) conflicts with the explicitly
  handled cold-start case where the directory does not exist yet. Left
  open with two options.

Gates: `bun test packages/drivers` 289/289 green (stable across repeated
runs), `bun run typecheck` clean across all 15 typechecked packages,
upstream marker check clean (drivers is not upstream-shared).

P2 Badge Avoid depending on prompt orphan reaping in this test

On Linux containers whose PID 1 does not promptly reap orphaned descendants, the background process remains as a zombie after the group is killed, so process.kill(-pid, 0) continues reporting the group as observable until this two-second deadline expires and result.verified is false. The focused test fails consistently in this environment even though no process can continue mutating files; arrange for the fixture's descendants to be reaped or assert termination without relying on process-group disappearance.

P2 Badge Recognize mixed-separator UNC roots

When ALTIMATE_DRIVER_DIR uses a valid mixed-separator UNC root such as \\server/share/, none of these root patterns match and installLockPath() returns \\server/share.lock, which addresses a different share rather than a lock inside share. Lock creation can then fail and installers proceed unlocked against the original target. Fresh evidence beyond the prior UNC spelling threads is this mixed form, which Node's Windows path handling normalizes as the same UNC share root; accept either separator between every UNC component.

P1 Badge Fix containment for names beginning with two dots

When a harvested root is a real descendant of the working directory through a component such as ..evil/node_modules, path.relative() returns ..evil/node_modules and this prefix check mistakes it for parent traversal. searchRootsFromError() consequently accepts that workspace-controlled root and can execute its driver while warehouse credentials are available. Fresh evidence beyond the prior workspace-exclusion threads is that this bypass uses an actual child rather than an ancestor or nested dependency; only treat .. itself or ..${path.sep} as traversal.

The Driver E2E CI failure on the previous push (packages/drivers/test/
install-lock.test.ts:381, "does not delete a successor lock that has no
owner record yet") was not a flake: it is the exact inode-reuse race that
four review threads on this PR converged on (kilo-code-bot, cubic-dev-ai,
chatgpt-codex-connector), reproducing on Linux/tmpfs in CI and not on
macOS/APFS locally, which is why it was invisible before.

Redesign: the lock is now a single file, created with `fs.writeFileSync(...,
{ flag: "wx" })` — O_CREAT|O_EXCL, portable to POSIX and Windows — whose
content, a `crypto.randomUUID()` acquisition token, is written as part of
that same atomic call. The earlier scheme created a directory atomically and
then wrote the ownership token into a file *inside* it as a second,
non-atomic step, leaving a real window where a lock existed with no way to
tell who owned it. `releaseInstallLock` no longer falls back to
`fs.statSync(...).ino` in that window — it no longer exists, so the fallback
is gone entirely.

The stale-claim restore step (rename a judged-stale lock aside, then put it
back if a peer had re-taken it) now uses `fs.linkSync` instead of
`fs.renameSync` for the restore. `rename` onto an existing destination
silently replaces it, which is how a third process's freshly-created live
lock could get clobbered during a stale-claim race; `link` fails closed
with EEXIST there instead.

Regression test: `does not delete a successor lock with no readable token,
even at the same inode`. It overwrites the lock file's content in place
(same inode guaranteed, different owner) rather than relying on the OS's
own inode-reuse timing, so it reproduces deterministically on every
platform instead of only on Linux/tmpfs. Verified directly that it fails
against the old inode-fallback logic (temporarily restored it, confirmed
the failure, reverted) before relying on it as a regression guard.

Two review comments landed on the previous push's own new code and are
fixed here too:
- `isWithin()` (this PR's own containment fix for the nested-roots P1) used
  `rel.startsWith("..")` to detect parent traversal, which also matches a
  genuine descendant whose name merely starts with those two characters
  (e.g. `base/..evil/node_modules`) — wrongly admitting a workspace-controlled
  root across the permission boundary. Fixed to check `rel === ".."` or
  `rel.startsWith(".." + sep)` specifically.
- `isFilesystemRoot()`'s UNC recognition (this PR's own forward-slash/
  extended-length UNC fix) did not accept a mixed separator spelling
  (`\\server/share`), which Node's Windows path handling normalizes to the
  same root as the all-backslash form. Consolidated into one
  separator-flexible pattern; the `\\?\` extended-length prefix stays
  backslash-only since it explicitly disables that normalization.

Thread disposition (of the 7 threads escalated as needing this exact
redesign, plus 2 of the original 4 pre-session escalations describing the
same root cause): resolved — dfzlm (stale-claim restore), df1hp (kilo-code-bot
inode reuse), df2j- (ownerless-lock race), df2kA (TOCTOU on reclaim,
substantially — the realistic 2-process race is closed, a narrower 3-process
syscall-level interleaving remains structurally possible and is noted rather
than claimed fully closed), df2kI (inode uniqueness, duplicate), df6Rf
(reusable inodes, duplicate), diqPm (atomic release, substantially — same
residual as df2kA). Left open, unaffected by this redesign: dfzlo (acquire
before readiness), dfzlq (npm process-group tracking), dimYr (contender wait
deadline), dimYu (canonicalize before lock) — all orthogonal to ownership
representation.

Gates: `bun test packages/drivers` 293/293 green, stable across repeated
local runs; full monorepo `bun run typecheck --force` clean (13 packages,
genuine re-execution not cache replay); upstream marker check clean.

P2 Badge Avoid requiring orphaned process groups to disappear

On containerized Linux runners whose PID 1 does not promptly reap orphaned children, the background shell and sleep become zombies after killTree sends SIGKILL, and process.kill(-pid, 0) continues reporting their process group as observable. Consequently killTree returns { verified: false } at the deadline and this assertion fails deterministically (and leaves defunct children), even though no descendant can still perform work; structure the fixture so its descendants are reaped or test escalation through injected liveness hooks instead of requiring the real process group to vanish.

P2 Badge Respect remote holders' declared lock budgets

When two hosts share the managed driver directory and the holder is running an install configured to last longer than staleAfterMs (five minutes by default), this branch ignores the holder's published budgetMs and declares the lock stale solely from its age. A contender can then claim the lock and start npm while the remote holder is still legitimately mutating the same tree; apply the bounded declared budget to remote holders as well, since only PID liveness—not the advertised lifetime—is host-local.

P2 Badge Preserve non-delimiting quotes in harvested paths

When the runtime quotes a valid POSIX path containing another quote character, such as open '/opt/A"B/node_modules/duckdb/package.json', this character class terminates at the embedded " even though the path is delimited by single quotes. The function therefore returns /opt/A, finds no enclosing node_modules, and the new recovery still reports the installed driver as unavailable; capture the opening delimiter and exclude only its matching closer so other quote characters remain part of the path.

WARNING: linkSync restore depends on hard-link support, which FAT/exFAT and some SMB/UNC shares lack

The stale-claim restore uses link(2) (chosen over rename so a third process's lock is never silently clobbered) to put a wrongly-moved live lock back at lockPath. But link only works where the filesystem supports hard links. ALTIMATE_DRIVER_DIR can point at a UNC share (explicitly supported by this PR) or FAT/exFAT media, where linkSync throws EPERM/ENOTSUP rather than EEXIST. That non-EEXIST error is swallowed by the catch, and the following rmSync(claimed) then deletes the live lock that was just moved, admitting a second concurrent npm install over the same tree — the exact corruption this lock exists to prevent. copyFileSync with COPYFILE_EXCL keeps the fail-closed-on-EEXIST behaviour while working on every filesystem:

Suggested change
fs.linkSync(claimed, lockPath)
fs.copyFileSync(claimed, lockPath, fs.constants.COPYFILE_EXCL)

Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.
