ReplaceFileW preserves ACLs by merging security information, which may reserialize auto-inheritance state and duplicate equivalent ACEs. Compare the final ordered, de-duplicated ACE policy instead of requiring byte-identical self-relative descriptor buffers.
Update the host-independent binding assertion to expect the namespaced absolute paths that the Win32 boundary actually receives, and align the package and bilingual RFC contracts with the semantic DACL guarantee.
Copy an existing target's DACL onto the empty staging file before any content is written, then publish with ReplaceFileW so Windows replacement keeps the target security descriptor instead of inheriting the broader parent policy.
Keep new-file inheritance and POSIX mode behavior unchanged, retain the already-protected temp when a concurrently removed target requires rename fallback, and translate native errors into Node-style codes for the filesystem error boundary.
Add host-independent Win32 binding coverage, native Windows descriptor assertions, package documentation, and a bilingual implemented RFC that supersedes the earlier inheritance-only replacement claim.
Windows drives only the read-only attribute through chmod and reports
synthetic stat mode bits, so writeFileAtomic's mode arguments are inert
there; write-in-progress privacy comes from the staging dir (created in
the target's parent) inheriting the destination directory's DACL.
Production is deliberately unchanged -- the chmod calls are benign
no-ops and platform-guarding them out buys nothing. Tests guard the
mode-bit expects to POSIX; there is no Windows ACL assertion because an
ACL check would pin OS inheritance plus the machine's %TEMP% ACL, not
this package. Decision and rejected alternatives (explicit DACLs,
Get-Acl/icacls test verification) recorded in the new RFC.
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
Define the in-file RFC contract in docs/rfc/README.md § The file format:
the header block (`# RFC: <title>` plus a dateless Status enum
cross-checked against the lifecycle folder), the per-lifecycle body
skeleton (a Problem opener everywhere; Proposal/Alternatives considered/
Acceptance criteria/Risks in proposed/; present-tense Decision/
Consequences with proposal-era headings banned in implemented/; the
frozen proposal shape in rejected/), and a mandatory Alternatives
considered section with a date-fenced grandfather comment for pre-format
RFCs whose alternatives are not reconstructible from the record.
Enforce it with a new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-rfc-format.ts, and
normalize all 112 RFCs to it: ~15 Status-line spellings collapse to the
enum, 29 Context openers become Problem, the 39 legacy-format XXX debt
markers are resolved and banned from reappearing, proposal-era sections
in implemented RFCs are rewritten to shipped reality (including the
web/fs/subagent seam RFCs' migration plans and test checklists, closing
the doc-tiers deferred-work item on the web seam), every RFC gains an
Alternatives considered section or the grandfather comment, and the
bilingual pair is re-mirrored and re-recorded.
Move the generated index tables out of README.md into a fully generated
docs/rfc/INDEX.md — gen-rfc-index now writes the whole file, and
verify-rfc-classification checks its freshness and rejects index-shaped
rows in the curated README — which makes room for the format contract to
live in the README front door instead of a separate FORMAT.md.
The decision record, and the first RFC written in the new format, is
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-05-uniform-rfc-format.md.
The ACP bridge gives each session its own workspace (SessionHeader.cwd), and
dsh-tool-bash already resolves a bash workdir against it. But ctx.fs.resolve(path)
took no caller context and dsh-fs-local resolved every relative path against a
fixed config.cwd (process.cwd() at plugin load) — so in the ACP demo `write
foo.txt` and `bash cat foo.txt` hit different directories the moment an editor
opens any project other than the server's launch dir.
Thread the session cwd into resolution, mirroring dsh-tool-bash: widen
FileSystem.resolve to resolve(path, opts?: { cwd?: string }); dsh-fs-local bases
a relative path on opts.cwd ?? config.cwd (absolute paths ignore it); the
read/write/edit tools derive it via a shared sessionCwd(exec) helper
(exec.agent?.session.header.cwd). The provider stays free of dsh-agent/dsh-session
— the tool projects exec → cwd and hands over a plain string, per the
explicit-at-seams convention. Backward compatible (the arg is optional).
Tests: fs-local resolve(path,{cwd}) bases relative on the passed cwd / ignores it
for absolute; tool integration writes/reads/edits in a session cwd != config.cwd
and verifies the file on disk (proven to fail on the pre-fix no-cwd path). Fakes
that stood in a bare {session:{}} now carry a header so sessionCwd doesn't throw.

Rename per review naming decisions:
- package dsh-file-context → dsh-fs-policy (dir, package name, plugin name,
tsconfig refs, importers, type-equiv manifest, generated catalog + module-graph)
- events fs/write-expectation → fs/write-intent, fs/edit-expectation → fs/edit-intent
(fs/observed unchanged); type FsWriteExpectation → FsWriteIntent, "expectation"
wording → "intent" throughout
- exported FileContextExec → FsPolicyExec
Make the implemented RFCs describe what shipped, not the superseded designs:
the 2026-06-17 capability-seam + tool-schemas RFCs no longer place policy on
ctx.fs or use full/partial-view authorization, and the fsspec RFC's ctx.fileContext
service prose is rewritten to the fs/* event-gate reality (freshness-based auth).
Sharpen docs/rfc/implemented/AGENTS.md: a rename is a fact to fix IN PLACE — the
"new RFC" escape hatch is for macro decision reversals only, not renames.
Code fixes from review:
- fsio.ts resolveLocalTarget/probe translate ENOTDIR (a parent path segment is a
file) into the structured FsError taxonomy instead of leaking a raw Node error;
resolve reports FS_NOT_FOUND, probe reports absent. Regression tests proven to
fail on the unfixed code.
- tool-fs HMR test now asserts prompt sections (not just tool schemas) are
withdrawn on disposal.
- fs/observed is a plain (unguarded) ctx.emit: correct the fs-policy comment,
filesystem.md, and tool-fs module doc that wrongly claimed the tool "contains"
a throwing listener; a throw surfaces as the tool's isError result.
- drop the false "loaded by the default product config" claim (no config wires
the fs tools yet), the duplicate ctx.bash service-map row, the stale
FileReadRequest catalog link-map entry, and the fs/fs README EOF blank line;
correct the dsh-fs package.json description.
Invert the tool↔policy control flow per the file-context event-gate RFC.
dsh-tool-fs becomes the executor — it reads/writes/edits through ctx.fs
directly, owns read windowing, and dispatches fs/write-expectation /
fs/edit-expectation (single-slot waterfalls) plus a contained fs/observed
emit. dsh-file-context drops its ctx.fileContext service and becomes a pure
event-gate plugin (observed-state + read-before-edit + version-guarded
write/edit, decided on those events). The provider's version guard becomes
optional so ctx.fs alone is a complete unconstrained text-storage seam:
removing the policy plugin gracefully loses the policy instead of breaking
the tool at a service-injection boundary.
Implements the split-the-filesystem-seam RFC. ctx.fs shrinks to a text-storage
provider seam (resolve/stat/readText/streamText/writeText/editText with branded
FsTargetKey/FsVersion and an explicit FsWriteExpectation); the new
dsh-file-context package owns the model-facing policy (read windowing,
observed-state, write/edit freshness) as the concrete ctx.fileContext service.
Authorization is now freshness-based rather than full/partial view: a windowed
read records the file version and authorizes a later edit when the file is
unchanged, removing the dead-end where reading lines 100-150 of a large file
could not edit line 120. editText stays a provider primitive so version guard +
literal match + atomic rewrite remain one critical section, and the stale check
runs before matching so a stale edit reports FS_STALE_VERSION. tool-fs injects
fileContext, never reaching around to ctx.fs (the no-bypass contract).
