Summary

The destructive-home guard recognised exactly one shape: a single-line rmSync(getConfigDir()), or a const bound from it on the same line. A multiline call, a let alias, a helper wrapper, a namespaced fs.rmSync and the sibling resolvers getConfigPath() and usageLogPath() all passed it, so a test could reintroduce the 2026-09-15 incident while CI stayed green. The specific quota test that caused that incident is correctly fixed; this is about the guard.

Three parts now hold it shut, because each covers what the others cannot see.

An unconditional removal refusal in src/lib/test-home-guard.ts. It is deliberately not gated on OCX_TEST_HOME_GUARD: Bun resolves bunfig.toml, and with it the preload, from the current working directory, so the run that caused the incident armed nothing and left OPENCODEX_HOME unset. It refuses a protected tree, any path inside one, and any ancestor of one, judged on both the canonical and the lexical form — the canonical form defeats a symlink alias, the lexical one still names the target when the protected path is itself a link. removeTreeWithRetry calls it before the injected remover runs, so the refusal lands before any filesystem call.

A shared ownership fixture in tests/helpers/temp-home.ts. createTempHome() pins both OPENCODEX_HOME and CODEX_HOME at a directory it created and returns a handle that owns it, so removeOwnedTree() can refuse a path nobody handed out. Provenance becomes a checkable property instead of four steps every fixture re-implements, and the step that goes missing is the pin.

A widened source scan in tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan.ts, replacing the inline line matcher. It blanks comments and string bodies while keeping template interpolations visible, propagates taint to a fixpoint through bindings and helper returns, and derives its resolver set from src/ rather than a hand-written list, so a resolver added tomorrow is covered the day it lands. Two tiers: removing the home root is refused outright, and removing a path inside the home is allowed only in a file that created the home it pinned — which is what the seventeen existing fixtures already do, and what the incident's test did not.

The guard's own tests feed the scanner twenty-one adversarial sources, so an empty offender list is evidence rather than a broken regex.

Closes #4705

Verification

Local test suites, individual test files, bun run typecheck, bun run test, bun run test:changed, the dashboard build and dependency installation were NOT RUN — the maintainer forbids local suite execution in this lane, since a local test run previously deleted real ~/.opencodex data.

What was done instead:

  • Static source-oracle comparison. The scanner was run read-only over all 1300 files in tests/**/*.test.ts and reports 0 violations, with 17 files correctly classified as allowed (every one pins a home it created before removing a path inside it). The four files that at first looked unpinned were each confirmed by reading their fixtures: three pin from a directory they mkdir, one from mkdtemp inside a function.
  • Adversarial case matrix. All 21 detector cases asserted in the test were evaluated against the shipped helper: 21/21 match, including the three tier cases that separate a bound child path from a bound home root.
  • Transpile check of the five changed/added files. No test was executed.
  • Hosted CI for this layer runs on the lane tip, which contains this commit; this layer's own commit carries [skip ci] under the maintainer-approved DEV-STACK-08 tip-only policy.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

The destructive-home guard recognised one shape: a single-line
rmSync(getConfigDir()) or a const bound from it on one line. A multiline
call, a let alias, a helper wrapper, a namespaced fs.rmSync and the sibling
resolvers getConfigPath() and usageLogPath() all passed it, so a test could
reintroduce the 2026-09-15 incident while CI stayed green.

Three parts now hold it shut, because each covers what the others cannot see.

src/lib/test-home-guard gains an unconditional removal refusal. It is not
gated on the arming variable: Bun resolves bunfig.toml, and with it the
preload, from the current working directory, so the run that caused the
incident armed nothing. It refuses a protected tree, any path inside one and
any ancestor of one, judged on both the canonical and the lexical form -- the
canonical form defeats a symlink alias, the lexical one still names the target
when the protected path is itself a link.

tests/helpers/temp-home is the shared fixture. It pins OPENCODEX_HOME and
CODEX_HOME at a directory it created and hands back a handle that owns it, so
removeOwnedTree() can refuse a path nobody handed out. Provenance becomes a
property rather than a convention each fixture re-implements.

tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan replaces the line matcher. It blanks
comments and string bodies while keeping template interpolations visible,
propagates taint to a fixpoint through bindings and helper returns, and derives
its resolver set from src/ so a resolver added tomorrow is covered the day it
lands. Two tiers: removing the home root is refused outright, removing a path
inside the home is allowed only in a file that created the home it pinned,
which is what the seventeen existing fixtures already do.

The guard's own tests feed the scanner twenty-one adversarial sources, so an
empty offender list is evidence rather than a broken regex.

이 PR은 2026-09-15에 테스트가 프로세스 전역 설정 디렉터리를 지워 실제 ~/.opencodex (OAuth·계정 저장소·서비스 토큰·372MB usage ledger)가 사라진 사고를 다시 만들지 못하게, 파괴적 home 가드를 세 겹으로 키운다. 현재 dev HEAD는 3070d64d8 (package 2.57.0)이고, 이 PR 베이스도 그 tip이다. 기존 src/lib/test-home-guard.ts에는 쓰기 거부(assertNotRealHomeUnderTest 등)만 있었고 OCX_TEST_HOME_GUARD로 무장했을 때만 동작한다. 그런데 rmSync는 우리 writer를 거치지 않으므로, 가드가 꺼진 채(cwd 밖 Bun 실행으로 preload/bunfig.toml이 안 잡힘) OPENCODEX_HOME이 비어 있으면 실제 home이 그대로 지워질 수 있다. 이 PR은 (1) assertRemovalOutsideProtectedTrees / protectedRemovalReason으로 보호 트리·그 안·그 조상 제거를 정규/어휘 경로 둘 다에서 무조건 거부하고, (2) tests/helpers/temp-home.ts의 createTempHome / removeOwnedTree로 ‘내가 만든 디렉터리만 지운다’를 소유권으로 만들고, (3) tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan.ts로 테스트 소스를 스캔해 한 줄 rmSync(getConfigDir())만 보던 옛 매처를 대체한다. tests/helpers/remove-tree.ts의 removeTreeWithRetry는 주입된 remover보다 먼저 거부해서, 스위트가 공유하는 삭제 경로에서도 파일시스템 호출 전에 막힌다. tests/ci-workflows/test-home-guard.test.ts는 스캐너에 멀티라인·let 별칭·헬퍼·fs.rmSync·형제 resolver (getConfigPath/usageLogPath)·심링크·소유권 픽스처까지 적대 입력을 넣고, 이슈 #4705를 닫는다. types.ts/config.ts 분할이나 pre-split monolith 재편집과는 무관하다.

라인 tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan.ts homePathResolvers - export function Name(...): string { 형태만 본다. export const foo = (): string => 같은 arrow/re-export 형태 새 resolver는 자동 목록에 안 잡힐 수 있다.
경로 tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan.ts (정규식 taint) - AST가 아니라 blank+바인딩 전파라서 복잡한 구조 분해·동적 호출은 이론상 빠질 수 있다. 다만 이 PR이 적대 매트릭스 21케이스로 빈 offender를 ‘깨진 정규식’과 구분하려는 설계는 맞다.
커밋 메시지 [skip ci] - 이 head(dc6bcdae)에는 전체 hosted suite가 안 돈다. 지금 rollup도 hygiene/label/enforce-target/resolve-pr 성공 + CodeRabbit pending뿐이고 unit/typecheck 체크는 없다. DEV-STACK-08 tip-only 정책과 맞지만, 머지 확신은 다음 tip CI에 의존한다.
경로 tests/helpers/temp-home.ts ownedRoots - 프로세스 전역 Set이다. Bun이 파일을 같은 프로세스에서 돌리면 소유권 등록이 교차할 수 있으니, 가드 자체 테스트의 before/after 길이 단언은 유지하는 편이 좋다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • [skip ci] + tip-only: 이 레이어를 tip에 올린 뒤 hosted CI로 scanner/refusal 회귀를 한 번 확인할지, 아니면 이 PR head에만 예외로 suite를 돌릴지.
  • 스캐너 범위를 export function ...: string 밖으로 넓힐지(arrow/const export). 지금은 HOME_ROOT_RESOLVERS 시드 + 본문 derive 휴리스틱으로 커버한다.
  • #4705를 이 PR 머지와 함께 닫을지(본문 Closes [Bug]: the destructive-home test guard only recognises single-line rmSync(getConfigDir()) #4705). 가드 강화가 이슈 본문과 정확히 맞다.

너의 추천
초안이 아니라 이미 ready·MERGEABLE이고 방향이 사고 재발 방지에 맞다. types/config 분할 무관하니 close-don't-rebase 대상이 아니다. 추천: tip CI(또는 다음 스택 tip)에서 test-home-guard / home-destruction-scan 회귀가 초록인 것을 확인한 뒤 머지하고 #4705를 닫는다. 로컬 full suite는 이번 레인 금지 그대로 유지.

P1 Badge Scope ownership to the destructive call

Do not use a single file-wide owns flag to exempt every inside-home removal. If one test creates and removes a createTempHome() fixture, while a later test in the same file executes unlinkSync(getConfigPath()) after the environment has been restored, pinsItsOwnHome(source) is still true and the unsafe call is omitted. Track ownership in the scope/data flow of each removal site so an unrelated safe fixture cannot authorize the entire file.

P1 Badge Track aliases assigned after declaration

Track ordinary assignments as well as initialized declarations. A common fixture shape such as let dir; beforeEach(() => { dir = getConfigDir(); }); afterEach(() => rmSync(dir)); leaves dir untainted because this regex only processes const/let/var ... = ...; in a run without the preload, the source guard therefore reports no violation and the bare removal can target the real home.

P1 Badge Do not treat arbitrary mkdirSync targets as owned

Do not infer ownership merely because a variable was passed to mkdirSync: recursive mkdirSync commonly succeeds for an already-existing directory and proves neither creation nor provenance. For example, const home = getConfigDir(); mkdirSync(home, { recursive: true }); process.env.OPENCODEX_HOME = home; unlinkSync(getConfigPath()); is classified as owned and produces no violation, even though it can delete the live config. Limit this exemption to uniquely created roots such as mkdtempSync/createTempHome, or otherwise prove the directory was absent and created by the fixture.

P2 Badge Follow wrappers around home-path resolvers

Derive resolver taint transitively instead of recognizing only direct getConfigDir()/getCodexHome() references. At this commit, src/service/state.ts defines serviceLogPath() by returning logPath(), which in turn returns a path under getConfigDir(), but homePathResolvers() omits serviceLogPath; consequently unlinkSync(serviceLogPath()) yields no violation and can remove a real-home file. Iterate resolver discovery to a fixpoint or analyze the return-call graph.

P2 Badge Distinguish parent segments from names beginning with dots

Treat only .. and ..${sep} as parent escapes. path.relative(protectedHome, join(protectedHome, "..cache")) returns ..cache, so this startsWith("..") check incorrectly says the target is outside the protected tree; protectedRemovalReason() then returns null, allowing removeTreeWithRetry to delete such a child of the real home. The ownership helper repeats the same predicate and should use the corrected boundary check too.

…4704) [skip ci]

The synchrony guard followed the direct callees of startServer. That catches
activateLab becoming async, but activateLab calls installLabAutomationRuntime
and startAutomationIfEnabled without awaiting them, so making either async with
an await before its registration call left activateLab parsing as perfectly
synchronous. Every assertion stayed green while startServer returned before Lab
was registered, which is the one ordering the window exists to protect.

walkActivationChain now follows the chain from activateLab to a bounded depth,
failing on any node that is declared async or carries a body-level await.

What keeps a recursive walk from becoming the false-positive machine the
depth-one comment warned about is what it refuses to follow. Nested functions
are already skipped by collectBodyLevelCalls, so timer callbacks, shutdown
hooks, promise continuations and the deferred route executor are not activation
edges. Receiver calls are not followed: a method that turns async cannot suspend
its caller unless the caller awaits it, and that await is reported on the
caller's own body. Names imported from outside this repository are classified
automatically, so the six names that need human judgement are not buried under
every join and readFileSync in the chain.

inspectActivationDeclaration extends inspection to const arrows. The
function-only inspector reported activationKey as missing, and a walk that read
missing as fine would skip every const-arrow node. That needed its own
return-type skipper: the existing one treats a top-level => as part of a
function-type annotation and keeps scanning for a body brace a concise arrow
never has.

Four mutation cases run against the real sources through an injected loader: a
nested callee declared async, an await added inside that callee, a suspension
three hops down in startLabAutomationScheduler, and the arrow forms the previous
inspector could not see. The async case also asserts what the depth-one scan
reports on the same mutated source -- still green, which is the defect.

Closes #4704

TypeScript sources under tests/, not only *.test.ts files; explicitly exclude
fixture or generated-data directories that are not executed, while preserving
the existing offender detection behavior.

In `@tests/helpers/home-destruction-scan.ts`:
- Around line 237-239: Update findHomeRemovalViolations to evaluate
temporary-home ownership per removal site rather than using the file-wide
pinsItsOwnHome result; ensure unrelated callbacks cannot exempt inside-home
removals, and require removals to be within an owning lexical/execution scope or
use removeOwnedTree while preserving home-root violations.
- Around line 213-214: Update the filesystem API scan around firstArgument so it
parses all call arguments and selects the destructive argument based on the call
type, using the second argument for cp and cpSync and the existing
first-argument behavior for other APIs. Apply anyResolver and namesAnyOf to the
selected argument so destination paths such as getConfigPath() are detected when
tainted.
- Around line 189-199: Extend the taint-propagation fixpoint around the
declaration binding scan to also recognize later assignments such as path =
getConfigDir(). Exclude assignments to properties and comparison expressions,
then apply the existing anyResolver, namesAnyOf, isBareHomeRoot, and isExactly

- Around line 106-113: The resolver discovery in homePathResolvers must include
exported zero-argument synchronous string functions whose home dependency
appears in default parameters or through calls to other resolvers. Update the
declaration analysis around declaration and derivesFromHome to resolve these

Promise-returning functions, and add regression coverage for default-parameter
and transitive resolver chains.

removed is set and root is deleted from ownedRoots only after removal succeeds;
retain the ownership record and leave the handle retryable when cleanup throws,

Discover zero-argument resolvers that use defaults and resolver chains.

homePathResolvers scans exported function ...: string declarations, but derivesFromHome receives only the function body. It therefore misses home derivation in default parameters, including labRoot() and the child paths in src/lab/paths.ts:64-116, codexRuntimeStatePath() in src/codex/runtime.ts:174-178, integrationsDir() in src/integrations/ownership.ts:145, and responseSpillDirectory() in src/responses/spill-store.ts:196.

It also misses transitive path resolvers. winswExePath() and winswXmlPath() call winswDir() in src/lib/winsw.ts:35-45, and serviceLogPath() calls logPath() in src/service/state.ts:103-107. These zero-argument names are absent from resolvers, so a call such as rmSync(labLedgerPath()) can bypass findHomeRemovalSites.

The call-site taint propagation already reaches a fixpoint, but it cannot propagate through resolver definitions that discovery omitted. Resolve exported zero-argument string resolvers to a fixed point, including default-parameter home derivation, or use parser-based symbol analysis. Do not broaden this to required-argument resolvers or asynchronous functions that return Promise values. Add regression coverage for both forms.

Propagate taint through later assignments.

The implementation only matches declarations such as let path = getConfigDir(). It does not match a later assignment.

This input produces no site:

let path = temporaryPath;
path = getConfigDir();
rmSync(path);

Add assignment propagation to the fixpoint while excluding property assignments and comparison expressions.

Inspect the destructive argument for each filesystem API.

The scanner always inspects the first argument. This is incorrect for cp and cpSync, because their destination is the second argument.

For example, cpSync(tempFile, getConfigPath()) overwrites the live configuration but produces no violation because tempFile is not tainted. Parse all arguments and select the destructive argument by call type.

Track ownership at each removal site instead of once per file.

pinsItsOwnHome(source) exempts every inside-home removal when any code in the file creates a temporary home. A separate test callback in the same file can still remove getConfigPath() before the fixture is created or after it is restored.

For example, one callback containing createTempHome() causes an unrelated callback containing unlinkSync(getConfigPath()) to pass this filter. Associate ownership with the removal's lexical scope and execution order, or require owned removals to use removeOwnedTree.

Keep the handle retryable when cleanup fails.

The closure sets removed before removeTreeWithRetry succeeds. If removal throws after all retries, the finally block unregisters the root and later remove() calls return without retrying. This leaves the temporary tree behind permanently.

Set removed and delete the ownership record only after successful removal. Restore the environment in finally.

…4706) [skip ci]

GENERATED_PATHS exempted twelve files from every size cap, and eleven of them
were hand-maintained: nine i18n catalogues, a hand-curated benchmarks snapshot,
and the model-metadata generator's INPUT. Its output, src/generated/model-
metadata.ts, is 108 lines and was scanned normally, so the one file the list was
named after was the one file it did not describe.

Exempting catalogues and data snapshots is a reasonable policy. Calling them
generated is what invites the next hand-written file onto the list, because a
name is a claim nothing checks.

The exemption is now three exact allowlists, each carrying its own reason.
GENERATED_PATHS holds only agent_pb.ts, which opens with a protoc-gen-es banner.
I18N_CATALOG_PATHS holds the nine locale catalogues, exempt because they grow by
one line per UI string in nine locales at once, so a cap would block every new
string in the GUI rather than any oversized module. DATA_SNAPSHOT_PATHS holds
the two records whose size tracks how much was recorded. EXEMPT_PATHS is their
union, and the verdict and baseline field are renamed from GENERATED to EXEMPT
to match. loadBaseline still accepts the old key so a branch written before the
rename loads instead of failing with a shape error that explains nothing.

The classification is now checkable against the files themselves: every path in
GENERATED_PATHS must carry a generator banner, and no path in the other two
lists may. The positive control is the generator's real output, which carries
the banner, is not exempt, and is scanned under a cap.

The exemption relies on --update never turning an exemption into a cap, so that
is asserted directly alongside the Math.min rule that only ever lowers one.

Closes #4706
…de splits (#4711)

The architecture pages and structure/runtime.md still described the module
ownership that existed before the facade splits of the last release train, so a
reader following them landed in a file that no longer contains the code.

Routing now lives in src/server/index/serve-options.ts, request preparation in
src/server/responses/request-prepare.ts, and bridge conversion in src/bridge/
sse.ts and src/bridge/response-json.ts. src/bridge.ts is seven lines of
re-exports. The pages named the pre-split files in every locale, so fixing only
the English source would have left seven translations contradicting it.

The facade paragraph also carried three counts -- seven, nine and five leaf
modules -- that were already 26, 42 and 53. Counts that must be recounted on
every split are a drift source rather than information, so they are gone; what
replaces them is the distinction the counts were standing in for. A facade is
the stable import path, not the implementation, and each step of the request
flow now names the module that owns the code.

structure/runtime.md gets the same correction on five ownership claims, and
points at structure/transports/responses.md, which already carries the
post-split owner inventory for the Responses surface.

Scope is deliberately narrow: only claims about which module owns which
responsibility change. No prose about behaviour is rewritten, and no locale
receives a translation it did not already have.

Closes #4711

Landing the lane into dev. This is the bottom layer. The destructive-home guard no longer depends on a preload that a run started outside the repository never executes: removal is refused unconditionally before the injected remove, judged on both canonical and lexical forms, with a shared temporary-home fixture that hands out ownership handles and a scanner whose resolver list is derived from src/ rather than hand-maintained.

Evidence at the verified tip baaf691 (tree 3728219b8b5c1758a768108e4b69b648fa0828f6), from dispatch run 35053542913:

  • test 1-4/4, macos 1-2/2 and macos control all completed with conclusion success, confirmed through the check-runs API rather than the check rollup. windows 1/6 through 6/6 all succeeded, as did gates, storage policy, api usage, docker smoke, keyring and npm-global on three platforms, and the aggregate ci check.
  • A dispatch run is the evidence here rather than the pull-request run, and that is not incidental. This lane's tip layer changes only documentation, so the changes path filter skips every heavy job on a pull_request event while the aggregate check still reports green. Because the layers below carry [skip ci], the pull-request signal alone would have covered nothing at all. The dispatch runs against the tip tree, which contains all four layers.
  • The dispatch ran at commit c086fda, whose tree is byte-identical to this tip's tree. The lane re-absorbed dev from the bottom layer upward afterwards to keep each pull request's diff to its own layer (5 / 1 / 3 / 9 files); only the merge order changed, so the run remains valid evidence for this tree.
  • windows 5/6 failed once with EPERM ... rm ocx-management-auth-* at tests/helpers/remove-tree.ts:38 and passed on re-run. That is pre-existing Windows behaviour, not a regression from this lane: the guard added here runs once before the retry loop, line 38 is the existing rethrow-after-retries path, the raised error is rmSync's EPERM rather than a guard refusal, the identical code passed in run 35050601423, and src/config/paths.ts:57 already documents hardenConfigDir() leaving icacls.exe holding the directory. The retry budget being too small under six concurrent Windows shards is filed separately as [Bug]: the Windows removal retry budget is 2.5 seconds and is exceeded under shard load #4789.
  • git merge-tree --write-tree origin/dev <tip> reports a clean merge.
  • Ancestry verified so each layer closes as MERGED: rg1, rg2 and rg3 are all ancestors of this tip.

Chained-child stacks merge top-down, so this lands in the parent branch and cascades to dev.

Maintainer integration decision under MAINTAINERS.md / AGENTS.md: a maintainer with maintain or admin access may integrate into dev without a second maintainer approval, recording the decision and exact-head CI evidence.
