What & why

Every second, kcap watch re-decoded the whole transcript from byte 0 for every vendor but Cursor, so a long session's watcher kept part of a core busy for its whole life. The watcher now keeps an index of where each line starts. Each poll seeks to its line cursor, so it works after a held-line cut, a reconnect rewind or a server-given resume line. The 4 KB before the indexed end is compared on every poll, and a shrink or rewrite there falls back to a full read. The shutdown completion wait reads only the final line.

Where to look

TranscriptLineIndex.Observe: offsets are recorded only where StreamReader would split. It stops at a lone \r and never indexes a UTF-16/32 file, so line numbers, which the server dedups by, match a full read. Cursor's reader is untouched.

Verification

105 MB / 7000 lines, Release full read indexed
idle poll 118 ms 0.86 ms
shutdown final-line check whole file ×≤4 2 ms
  • IndexedTranscriptReadTests: 22/22 pass. A seeded fuzz compares indexed against full reads over appends, rewrites, truncation, rewinds, CR/CRLF, invalid UTF-8 and BOMs. Breaking the tail check fails 6 of 8 seeds, and breaking lone-CR handling fails all 8.
  • Byte-count tests: an idle poll on a 1 MB file reads under 16 KB.
  • Cli unit suite: 6457/6480 pass with 1 failure, session_start_omits_workspace_root_when_cwd_has_no_git_repo, which passes alone. The watcher integration classes pass, and the AOT publish shows no IL warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Transcript monitoring now reads from indexed line positions, avoiding repeated full-file scans during idle checks and after new lines are added.
    • Final-line checks focus on the last line while preserving existing completeness behavior.
  • Reliability
    • Monitoring continues to return the appropriate lines after transcript changes or backward position movements. UTF-16 transcripts retain full-file reading behavior.

Line starts are indexed only where StreamReader would split, so every line
number the server dedups by stays the one a full read gives.

📝 Walkthrough

The watcher now indexes transcript line-start byte offsets and uses the index for normal drains and shutdown-tail reads. Final-line completeness polling reads the trailing line instead of decoding the full shared transcript. Unit tests compare indexed reads with full reads across appends, rewrites, truncations, and encoding cases.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 59087

The change reads only new transcript bytes on each poll and falls back to a full read when the file is rewritten, truncated, or in an unsupported encoding. No concrete merge-blocking risk was found in the supplied review context.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 59087

The changes preserve existing file access, redaction, and upload controls. The remaining uncertainty concerns transcript sources that might edit earlier content: changes outside the validation window could invalidate resumed line numbering.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Offset errors would propagate through the affected watcher's existing session/agent upload and shutdown-spool paths. The index is not shared between watcher states, and these changes do not grant access to additional transcript paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Shutdown-tail indexing remains upstream of redaction and batch construction. Cursor quarantine still blocks shutdown-tail spooling; indexed reads do not create an alternate unredacted replay path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A rewrite before the validation window that preserves its bytes and does not shrink below the frontier can leave stale line offsets. This limits recovery outside the declared append-only contract; it does not establish a redaction bypass or a verified attack against a supported producer.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If any supported producer permits older content to change, gate index reuse on a stronger producer identity or use full-read fallback for that producer. Cover rewrites outside the validation window together with resume rewinds.

High-Level Assessment

Keep the line index separate from Cursor's raw-byte guard: non-Cursor vendors need line-based seeking without Cursor's capture path. A sparse index could use less memory but would require rescanning after rewinds; the current approach prioritizes exact, inexpensive seeks.

P1 Badge Invalidate indexes when any earlier prefix changes

When an indexed transcript exceeds 4 KiB, a same-length rewrite before the saved trailing window leaves both length < Frontier and TailMatchesAsync unchanged. If that rewrite adds or removes an earlier newline, the cached offsets and line numbers no longer match a full StreamReader pass, so subsequently appended records can be emitted under incorrect line numbers or skipped by linesProcessed. The rewrite protection needs to invalidate the index when the full indexed prefix changes, not only when its final 4 KiB changes.

Transcripts are append-only by contract: the line cursor the server resumes from already depends on it (see the remarks on MistralVibeLiveTranscript), and every vendor the watcher tails writes JSONL by appending. The index catches the rewrites that do happen — truncation, replacement, a changed tail — and reads from byte 0. A same-length edit further back would also have misnumbered lines under the old full re-read: it would renumber everything after the edit against lines the server already took. So this is not a regression. Checking the whole prefix on every poll would bring back the per-poll cost this PR removes. The class remarks now say this explicitly. Leaving as is.

stream.Position = start;
var text = tail.AsSpan(0, await ReadFullyAsync(stream, tail, CancellationToken.None));

return Utf8NoPreamble.GetString(start == 0 && text.StartsWith(Encoding.UTF8.Preamble) ? text[3..] : text);

P2 Badge Preserve BOM-based decoding in final-line checks

For a UTF-16/UTF-32 transcript, which the streaming reader explicitly supports by falling back to reading from byte zero, this unconditional UTF-8 decode produces NUL-filled or replacement-character text. Even a complete newline-terminated record then fails IsFinalLineComplete, causing every shutdown to exhaust the full completion wait before the final drain succeeds. Detect the file BOM and decode the tail with the same encoding semantics as StreamReader.

Action required

1. Earlier rewrites misnumber server transcripts ✗ Dismissed
Description
TranscriptLineIndex.StartAsync reuses cached line offsets after checking only the final 4 KB
before the indexed frontier, so a same-length rewrite that changes earlier newline boundaries can
leave obsolete offsets in place. On a later non-Cursor poll or cursor rewind, decoding can resume at
the wrong boundary and assign stale line numbers or miss lines; the CLI can then advance its cursor
while kcap-server filters received records against its line-number high-water mark.
Code

+    public async ValueTask<(int Line, long Offset)> StartAsync(FileStream stream, long length, int line, CancellationToken ct) {
+        if (Frontier > 0 && (Frontier != _tailEnd || length < Frontier || !await TailMatchesAsync(stream, ct))) Reset();

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The index stores offsets for all learned lines, but StartAsync validates only a bounded tail
before reusing the stored byte and line positions. Those positions control where non-Cursor decoding
resumes, and the CLI sends those batches without a server-acknowledged cursor; kcap-server then
discards records whose supplied line number is at or below its high-water mark.

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

## Issue description
A rewrite before the checked tail can change indexed line boundaries without invalidating cached offsets. Subsequent reads can send stale source line numbers to kcap-server, which deduplicates using those numbers.

- src/Capacitor.Cli/Commands/WatchCommand.cs[4524-4528]

## Recommended Fix
Verify the indexed prefix before reusing its offsets for a vendor whose transcript can be rewritten, or restrict indexed reads to transcripts with an enforced append-only guarantee. Invalidate the offsets and fall back to a full read whenever prefix integrity cannot be established before sending new lines. Test a same-length rewrite that changes early newline boundaries while preserving the final 4 KB.

direct file mutations.

4. UTF-16 sessions wait on completed lines ✓ Resolved

ReadFinalLineSharedAsync searches for a UTF-8 newline byte and decodes the selected bytes as
UTF-8, replacing the BOM-detecting full-text read. For a UTF-16LE transcript ending in a valid
newline encoded as 0A 00, the decoded tail ends in a NUL rather than a newline, so the shutdown
completion probe exhausts its wait despite the completed line.
