Why this exists

src/core/tools/__tests__/applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts came in with #2343 (1b9cb7d35, 2026-11-09T00:14:38Z). Its doubles describe apply_diff as it behaved before the guarded-write series hardened the tool, so they cannot express the hardened behaviour:

  • vi.mock("fs/promises") provides readFile only. The hardened ApplyDiffTool stats around its own read to capture the version token its guarded publish consumes, so the call throws before approval and handleError swallows it.
  • diffViewProvider.open() is stubbed as a no-op over originalContent: "". The hardened tool fails closed when open()'s re-read disagrees with its own read, so every diff-view row now refuses the write before askApproval.

The consequence is measured, not asserted: in the merge tree of #1408's head 9fa7737142fcf25d254d6af9bca838eaf7d3f459 with this main tip e487cd7b2a497aa1d9b60f9b0cb497f7839bb629 (tree 73632a8b3e57…, clean, no conflicts), the spec goes 9 failed | 2 passed (11) — AssertionError: expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times at :135, TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '1') at :197 — which is byte-for-byte what CI's platform-unit-test (windows-latest) reported in run 42565686409, job 128991579779, step Run extension test lanes (pnpm run test:core, Tests 9 failed | 4354 passed | 9 skipped (4372)), with the ubuntu job cancelled by the same run's fail-fast.

What changes

Test file only — no production line changes, and nothing about the outside-workspace decision moves. Two hunks, +12/-1:

hunk what it teaches the double why that is the honest shape
fs/promises gains stat (:26-31) stat rejects the tool already tolerates a stat it cannot perform: it keeps the version token only when the file did not change between the stat and the read, and otherwise publishes unguarded-by-token
open() records its re-read (:111-117) originalContent becomes "old\n" the real DiffViewProvider.open() re-reads the file and stores that text as the save baseline — that is precisely the value the staleness check compares against

Measurements (Windows box, pinned node v22.23.4, gates from the worktree-root junction bins)

tree applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts core lane typecheck
main tip e487cd7b2a alone (negative control) 11 passed (11), exit 0 — —
#1408 ⊗ main (73632a8b3e57) without these hunks 9 failed | 2 passed (11), exit 1 — the CI 9 200 files, 4354 passed | 9 skipped with the one file failing 0 errors
same merged tree with stat only 7 failed | 4 passed (11) — —
same merged tree with both hunks 11 passed (11), exit 0 (three apply_diff specs together: 56 passed) 201 files, 4363 passed | 9 skipped (4372), exit 0 —
this branch head 11 passed (11), exit 0 — tsc --noEmit 0 errors

Lint/format on this branch: eslint --max-warnings=0 on the file → 0 messages; prettier --check → clean; eslint-suppressions.json delta empty (no new suppression, no count change).

Who is waiting on this

#1408 (feat/guarded-write-wiring-s4b) is the pull request blocked by this gap: its platform-unit-test (windows-latest) arm is red against a file that is not on its branch, and its ubuntu sibling was cancelled by the same fail-fast. Its owner deliberately did not carry the file across, because both sides adding the same path with different content is an add/add conflict in the merge tree (merge-tree --write-tree exits 1: stage 2 = main's cbaa2433ca5e…, stage 3 = the carried-and-adapted bf27e65ce6d8…), which would turn a red matrix arm into a conflicted pull request. With this landed, #1408 needs nothing: the numbers in the last two rows of the table are its own merge tree.

Filed as a pull request rather than a push because the Protect Main ruleset (15494382) carries the pull_request rule; nothing here is merged by its author.

…about the hardened guarded write

applyDiffTool.outsideWorkspace.spec.ts arrived with 1b9cb7d (Zoo-Code-Org#2343). Its doubles describe the tool as
it behaved before the guarded-write series hardened apply_diff: an fs/promises double with readFile only,
and a diffViewProvider.open() stubbed as a no-op over originalContent: "". The hardened tool stats around
its own read to capture the version token its guarded publish consumes, and fails closed when open()'s
re-read disagrees with that read. So on any branch that carries the hardened tool, execute() never reaches
askApproval: 9 of the 11 rows fail ('expect(askApproval).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)' got 0 calls at spec:135,
':197', ':219') even though nothing about the outside-workspace decision changed.

This touches the test file only; no production line changes.
- fs double gets a stat (:26-31): rejecting, which is the case the tool already tolerates by publishing
  unguarded-by-token (the token is kept only when the file did not change between stat and read).
- open() double records its re-read (:111-117): the real open() re-reads the file and keeps that text as the
  save baseline, which is exactly what the staleness check compares against.

Measured (Windows box, pinned node 22.23.4, root-junction bins):
- this tip: outsideWorkspace 11 passed (11), exit 0; tsc --noEmit 0 errors; eslint --max-warnings=0 0
  messages on the file; prettier --check clean; eslint-suppressions.json untouched (delta empty).
- without the hunks, in the 1408-head + main merge tree (tree 73632a8): 9 failed | 2 passed (11), the
  same 9 rows CI's platform-unit-test (windows-latest) reported in run 42565686409 job 128991579779.
- with the stat hunk only: 7 failed | 4 passed. With both hunks: 11 passed (11), and that merged tree
  passes its whole core lane: 201 files, 4363 passed | 9 skipped (4372), exit 0.
- negative control: main tip e487cd7 alone, that spec 11 passed (11) - the file is fine today; it is only
  unreadable against the hardened tool.

Zoo-Code-Org#1408 (feat/guarded-write-wiring-s4b) is the pull request waiting on this: its windows arm is red against a
file that is not on its branch, and its owner deliberately did not carry this file across, because both
sides adding it with different content is an add/add conflict in the merge tree.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated test scenarios for missing file metadata and existing baseline content during diff operations.

The outside-workspace ApplyDiffTool test fixture now models a missing stat result with ENOENT and initializes the diff-view mock’s baseline content to "old\n".

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names a real part of the change: a test-only update to the apply_diff outside-workspace spec doubles so they match the hardened guarded-write behavior. It is specific and conveys the primary change. It uses a bracketed [Fix] prefix and an issue reference, which is slightly noisy but acceptable. The title is about 89 characters, which is longer than the template's 'keep the title short' guidance.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The PR changes only test doubles. The existing spec checks inside and outside paths through both approval paths and checks auto-approval decisions. The reviewed range does not change guarded-write production behavior.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough. It explains the cause, lists the two test-only hunks, and gives measured results across trees. It does not follow the repository template. The 'Related GitHub Issue' section with 'Closes: #...' is missing; it cites PR #2343 and PR #1408 but no approved issue link. The 'Test Procedure' section is covered in substance under 'Measurements' but is not labeled as such. The Pre-Submission Checklist, Documentation Updates, Get in Touch, and Visual Snapshots sections are absent. The description also uses heavy jargon and long sentences, which conflicts with the template's writing-style guidance.

Resolution

Add the template sections. Link an approved GitHub issue in 'Related GitHub Issue' using 'Closes: #<number>'. Add or rename a 'Test Procedure' section with reproducible steps. Complete the Pre-Submission Checklist. Fill in 'Documentation Updates' (state that none are required). Add the 'Get in Touch' Discord username. Where the template calls for it, state that Visual Snapshots and Videos do not apply. Shorten long sentences and use one idea per sentence, as the template asks.
