Tianyi Cui 18ab9f6db2 fix(rebase): migrate the replayed stack onto current master APIs
The linear replay carried each commit's own lineage, so this checkpoint
restores the master-owned surfaces the conflicted regions clobbered and
migrates branch-owned code to master's post-rebase APIs:

- rebuild subprocess-local spawn.ts on master's tree-exit-observer
  machinery, keeping the branch's win32 childEnv key semantics and the
  Linux zombie-quiescence probe; the zombie test reaps its survivor
  directly since a confirmed-absent verdict is a permanent
  no-more-signals boundary
- migrate pty-local test stubs to the Inbox-model Agent interface,
  Session.create, runnerFailureRules, and the new turn/start payload
- implement the seam's resolveExecutable/spawnTerminal abstracts in the
  new pwsh-local and tool-fs-search test fakes
- restore code-runtime, atomic-write, pwsh-local, and app-boot to
  master's exact content (the net-zero code-runtime churn is pruned
  from this history) and drop rename-detection graft debris
- re-apply the PR's architecture rows and execution-world paragraph,
  re-record bilingual pairings, regenerate catalogs, and reconcile the
  lockfile

dsh-atomic-write

English | 中文

Zero-dependency atomic file replacement shared by file-backed stores that must never leave partial, symlink-hijacked, or wider-than-intended content on disk — the user-settings document (dsh-settings-local) and the credentials store (dsh-credentials-local).

Surface

import { withFileLock, writeFileAtomic } from '@deepseek-ai/dsh-atomic-write'

declare const text: string
declare const render: (previous: string) => string

await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', text, { mode: 0o600 })

// Read-modify-write against the same file from several processes.
await withFileLock('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', async () => {
  await writeFileAtomic('/home/u/.dsh/settings.yaml', render(text), { mode: 0o600 })
})

writeFileAtomic commits one already-rendered string. The contract, in the order failures would exploit it:

  • Exclusive-create temp (wx, random suffix): the open refuses to follow a symlink planted at a guessable temp path.
  • The fresh inode carries mode through the rename: replacing a wider-permission file narrows it without a chmod race. mode is required so the permission decision stays visible at every call site (subject to the process umask, like every fresh inode).
  • rename replaces a symlinked target itself, never writing through to its referent.
  • Same-directory sibling keeps the rename on one filesystem, so the swap stays atomic.
  • Parent directories are created; on any failure the temp is removed and the failure rethrown; readers observe either the old or the new complete content.

withFileLock serializes the writers of one file across processes, for the read-render-commit cycles a bare atomic commit cannot make safe on its own. The lock is a wx-created <filename>.lock sibling, so readers never contend; waiters back off exponentially and fail with a timeout rather than block forever. A contender never removes the existing lock: age cannot distinguish a crashed owner from a paused live writer.

Model Experience

None, as this is a pure filesystem primitive; nothing here reaches a model request.

KV Cache effect

None; nothing here enters a request prefix.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • Atomic, not durable — no fsync of the file or its directory, so after a crash the rename may be observed unwound. The file-backed stores here re-read and republish on boot, keeping durability the caller's policy.
  • String content only — no Buffer or stream form until a consumer needs one.
  • Orphaned locks require operator recovery — a process that exits while holding the lock can leave the sibling behind. Later writers time out without deleting it; an operator removes it only after verifying that no writer still owns it. File age alone is not safe evidence of abandonment.
