Follow-up to #1369, which deliberately left these out to keep that refactor a clean code-motion diff.

What changed

  • contributionId is validated as a single path segment before it is joined into the Symphony directory in startContribution and createDraftPR
  • external document names are reduced to a bare file name before being joined onto the documents cache
  • symphony:cancel confirms the stored localPath is this contribution's clone before removing it recursively

Where I diverged from the review suggestions

  • CodeRabbit proposed containing localPath to the repositories directory. The renderer builds it as workingDirectory || /tmp/symphony/..., and workingDirectory is user-chosen in the Symphony modal, so containment would break the feature. The destructive operation is guarded instead.
  • Rejecting document names containing separators would refuse real input. parseDocumentPaths takes the name from markdown link text, so an ordinary [docs/architecture.md](...) yields a name with a slash. Those are reduced, not refused.

Behaviour notes

  • docs/architecture.md previously hit ENOENT inside the cache directory and was silently dropped, it now downloads correctly
  • cancel skips cleanup when the stored path is not a clone and logs it, the contribution is still cancelled
  • no guard in symphony-runner's cleanup, it clones into that path itself in the same call so it provably owns the directory, and a half-finished clone still has to be removable

Verification

  • Symphony suites 291 passing, up from 290
  • integration failing set byte identical to baseline, the 24 failures there are pre-existing on rc
  • lint, type-check and production build clean
  • confirmed in the running app, ../../etc/passwd is rejected where it previously reached the filesystem

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added comprehensive contribution workflows, including repository setup, draft pull requests, completion, cancellation, synchronization, and recovery.
    • Added dashboards for active contributions, completed contributions, and contributor statistics.
    • Added repository and issue discovery with caching, progress tracking, and GitHub metadata.
    • Added safer handling for contribution IDs, document filenames, and repository cleanup.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cleanup behavior to preserve unrelated directories and handle invalid repositories safely.
    • Prevented document name collisions from overwriting files.
  • Documentation

    • Updated Symphony handler architecture, lifecycle, and runner documentation.

- reject contribution IDs that are not a single path segment before they are joined into the Symphony directory in startContribution and createDraftPR
- reduce external document names to a bare file name before joining them onto the documents cache, so traversal is neutralised without refusing real link text like "docs/architecture.md"
- confirm a stored localPath is this contribution's clone before symphony:cancel removes it recursively, since a user may legitimately pick any working directory
- cover all three, with a positive control for the generated ID formats and a guard test that cancel skips deletion for a non-clone path

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 55c96

This PR improves IPC path handling, document downloads, and cancellation cleanup, but the current head still has unresolved correctness and security risks, including a non-parsing test, unsafe filesystem path handling, lost state updates, and misleading failure behavior. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Greptile Summary

The PR decomposes the Symphony IPC handler and adds path-safety checks for contribution IDs, document names, and recursive cancellation cleanup. Two safety gaps remain:

  • Clone provenance uses an unbounded repository-name substring match, allowing unrelated Git directories to pass the deletion guard.
  • Flattened document names can collide and silently overwrite source material in the Auto Run directory.

Confidence Score: 2/5

The PR should not merge until recursive cleanup verifies clone identity precisely and document flattening handles basename collisions without dropping content.

The cancellation guard can authorize recursive deletion of an unrelated Git checkout, and distinct valid documents can be flattened onto one destination and silently overwrite each other.

Files Needing Attention: src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/shared.ts, src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/lifecycle.ts, src/main/services/symphony-runner.ts

Security Review

The cancellation cleanup guard does not reliably establish clone ownership: an unrelated Git checkout passes when its origin URL merely contains the expected repository basename, after which the directory is recursively deleted.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/shared.ts Adds shared validation and clone-provenance helpers, but the origin substring comparison can authorize deletion of an unrelated checkout.
src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/lifecycle.ts Adds guarded cancellation cleanup, although its destructive operation relies on the insufficient clone-identity predicate.
src/main/services/symphony-runner.ts Safely flattens path-like document names but can overwrite distinct documents that share a basename.
src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/contributionStart.ts Applies contribution-ID validation before constructing contribution paths and integrates the shared document-name sanitizer.
src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/contributionFinish.ts Validates contribution IDs before resolving metadata paths in the draft-PR flow.
src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/index.ts Preserves the prior public registration interface while composing the decomposed Symphony handler modules.
src/tests/main/ipc/handlers/symphony.test.ts Adds cancellation cleanup coverage but does not exercise false-positive origin matches.
src/tests/integration/symphony.integration.test.ts Adds traversal and valid-input coverage but does not test basename collisions between distinct documents.

P1 security Clone identity uses substring matching

When a user-selected localPath points to another Git clone whose origin merely contains the expected repository basename, isContributionClone returns true and cancellation recursively deletes that unrelated working tree and its uncommitted files. How this was verified: The cleanup path relies only on the .git check and the unbounded origin.includes(repoName) comparison before calling recursive fs.rm.

P1 Flattened document names collide

When distinct valid references such as an external link named docs/architecture.md and an internal docs/architecture.md reach this loop, both names reduce to architecture.md; the later write silently overwrites the earlier document, leaving Auto Run with incomplete or incorrect source material.

Sanitization is correct, but equal safe names now collide.

The guard itself is right, and it matches the toSafeDocumentFileName contract in src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/shared.ts.

Reducing each name to its last path segment makes distinct documents share one destination. docs/a.md and spec/a.md both resolve to a.md, so the second write overwrites the first and the agent reads incomplete input without an error. Detect the collision and disambiguate or skip with a warning.

115-167: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Requests are unauthenticated and strictly sequential.

Each loop issues one request per entry, and each request runs after the previous one completes. The requests also send no Authorization header. Unauthenticated GitHub REST requests are limited to 60 per hour per IP. A user with a moderate history plus several active contributions can exhaust that limit in a single checkPRStatuses call, after which every entry reports an error.

Consider two changes:

  • Reuse the GitHub token or gh CLI credentials that the other Symphony modules already use, so the limit becomes 5000 per hour.
  • Batch the checks with bounded concurrency instead of a fully sequential loop.

Extract the duplicated metadata sync and history mapping.

Three blocks are near-identical copies:

  • The metadata read and PR/fork sync at Lines 177-217 and Lines 374-414.
  • The CompletedContribution construction at Lines 278-299, Lines 484-504, and Lines 517-536.

The copies already differ. Lines 174 skips work when contribution.isFork !== undefined, while Line 373 uses !contribution.isFork. A contribution with isFork === false therefore re-reads metadata.json on every syncContribution call. Extract two helpers, for example syncMetadataIntoContribution(app, contribution) and toCompletedContribution(contribution, { merged, mergedAt }), and share the guard.

Serialize the cache read-modify-write cycle.

Every discovery handler reads the whole cache file, mutates one field, then writes the whole file back. enrichWithStars (line 464), this handler (line 548), getIssues (line 618), and getIssueCounts (line 696) can interleave. A concurrent write then drops the field another handler just persisted.

The blast radius is limited to cache entries, and the next fetch repairs them. A single shared write queue or a read-merge-write helper in shared.ts would remove the interleaving.

Pass the deduplicated slugs and match returned slugs case-insensitively.

Two small points:

  1. The handler computes requestedSlugs (deduplicated and sorted, line 663) for the cache key but calls fetchIssueCounts(repoSlugs) with the raw array. Duplicate slugs produce duplicate repo: qualifiers.
  2. Line 411 keys the count map by the exact requested string. GitHub returns canonical casing in repository_url. If a caller passes different casing, the count stays 0.

Precompile the issue patterns and note the single-page PR fetch.

Three points here:

  1. Lines 279-282 build two RegExp objects for every (PR, issue) pair. Build them once per issue before the PR loop.
  2. Line 250 requests only the first 100 open PRs. If a repository has more open PRs, linked issues keep status: 'available'. Consider paginating or documenting the limit.
  3. The comment at line 295 says "One PR per issue is enough", but the break exits the issues loop. The actual behavior is one issue per PR.

Check the exit code of git rev-list.

Line 125 reads only stdout and falls back to 0. If rev-list fails, for example when baseBranch is not a resolvable local ref after fork setup renamed origin, stdout is empty and commitCount becomes 0. The handler then returns success: true with no PR fields, and the caller treats it as "no commits yet". The draft PR is never created, and no error reaches the user. Fail loudly on a non-zero exit code.

Both draft PR call sites trust an unparsed PR result. createDraftPR in src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/shared.ts parses prNumber from a regex over gh pr create stdout and returns success: true even when the match fails, so prUrl and prNumber can be undefined.

Bound both GitHub document downloads by time and size.

Use a shared timeout and enforce MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES before allocation and while consuming response.body. A post-read response.text() or response.arrayBuffer() check does not prevent excessive memory use. Apply this to both fetches at contributionFinish.ts:248 and contributionStart.ts:622. Node >=22 supports AbortSignal.timeout.

Serialize Symphony state updates.

contributionStart.ts reads state before asynchronous clone, fork, and PR operations, then writes that stale snapshot. Concurrent updates can be overwritten, including history, active contributions, and cumulative statistics. The duplicate check in contributionFinish.ts is also not atomic.

Use a shared serialized read-modify-write helper for all Symphony state mutations in contributionFinish.ts, contributionStart.ts, lifecycle.ts, and sync.ts. Re-read state inside the serialized commit after long-running operations.

Serialize the read-modify-write of the Symphony state file.

Every handler in this file runs readState, mutates the returned object, then writeState. No lock guards this sequence. symphony:updateStatus fires often during Auto Run, while symphony:complete and symphony:cancel mutate the same file. If two handler invocations interleave, the second writeState overwrites the first mutation. A lost complete write drops a history entry and its statistics.

Add a single-writer queue or mutex in shared.ts, then route all state mutations through it. This applies to registerActive (Lines 165-204), updateStatus (Lines 246-261), complete (Lines 289-431), and cancel (Lines 456-487).

Serialize state mutations.

Handlers such as symphony:registerActive and symphony:updateStatus read a state snapshot, mutate it, and later write it back. Concurrent IPC requests can both read the same snapshot. The last write then discards the other request's update.

Add a locked mutateState() operation that performs read, mutation, and persistence as one critical section. Use it from all state-mutating handlers. Use atomic file replacement for the final persistence step.

checkPRStatuses can lose concurrent state updates.

The handler reads the full state at Line 106, performs many awaited network requests, and then writes the full state back at Line 328. Any other Symphony handler that updates state.json during that window is overwritten. The window is large here, because it spans one HTTP request per history entry and per active contribution with a PR.

Two mitigations are possible:

  • Re-read the state right before writing and re-apply only the computed changes (merged flags, PR info, history moves).
  • Serialize state mutations behind a shared mutex or queue in shared.ts.

Also applies to: 247-328

shared state-mutation mutex/queue in shared.ts. Preserve the existing merged
flags, PR information, and history moves while avoiding replacement of unrelated
updates.

Validate contribution.id before filesystem joins.

symphony:registerActive accepts renderer input and persists contributionId without validateContributionId. readState also trusts persisted JSON. Validate the ID in registerActive and before both metadataPath joins in sync.ts to prevent path traversal.

@reachrazamair Thanks for this one, and thanks in particular for the write-up. The "where I diverged from the review suggestions" section is exactly the right way to handle bot feedback, and both of those calls are correct: containing localPath would break user-chosen working directories, and refusing names with separators would refuse ordinary markdown link text. The three sinks are validated in the right place, before the join rather than after, and the positive-control test on the generated ID formats is a nice touch.

I checked the two bot reviews against the code. Most of what CodeRabbit flagged as "Major" is pre-existing in rc's symphony.ts and just moved by the #1369 refactor riding along in this branch: the unchecked git rev-list exit code, the getStats orphan filter, the readState/writeState races, and the repoSlug values reaching GitHub URLs in discovery.ts are all present at origin/rc:src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony.ts today. Those are real, but they are not this PR's job. Please leave them alone here so this stays a tight security diff, and let's file them separately.

Also, CodeRabbit's "critical" call on symphony.integration.test.ts:2688 is a false positive. The })) as { success: boolean; error?: string }; is the normal close for the (await invokeHandler(...)) cast and matches the surrounding cases. The file parses, and both ubuntu shards are green. No action needed there.

Two things in the genuinely new code before I'm happy, though:

1. Blocker: the origin match in isContributionClone is a substring test, and it gates a recursive delete.

src/main/ipc/handlers/symphony/shared.ts:155

return result.stdout.toLowerCase().includes(repoName.toLowerCase());

Both bots landed on this independently and they're right. The origin URL contains the host and the owner, not just the repository, so repoName can match on the wrong part of the string entirely. For repoSlug owner/maestro, an origin of https://github.com/maestro/some-other-project.git passes, and so does git@host:other/maestro-tools.git. That then reaches fs.rm(..., { recursive: true }) on somebody else's checkout with their uncommitted work in it.

Given the guard exists precisely because localPath cannot be constrained, it needs to be exact. Compare the final segment of the origin, with the optional .git suffix stripped:

const originRepo = result.stdout
    .trim()
    .replace(/\.git$/i, '')
    .split(/[/:]/)
    .pop()
    ?.toLowerCase();
return originRepo === repoName.toLowerCase();

While you're in there: if repoSlug ever arrives without a /, repoName is undefined and the function returns true on the bare .git check alone. ActiveContribution.repoSlug is typed as required so this shouldn't happen in practice, but for a predicate authorizing a recursive delete I'd rather it fail closed than open.

2. Should fix: flattening can silently overwrite a document.

src/main/services/symphony-runner.ts:208 and the matching loop in contributionStart.ts:609

Reducing to the basename is the right call, but two distinct references such as docs/architecture.md and spec/architecture.md now both resolve to architecture.md, and the second write wins. That's new behaviour: before this change the first one hit ENOENT and got dropped, so we traded a visible-ish drop for a silent overwrite. Tracking the names already used in the loop and disambiguating on collision (or just skipping with a logger.warn like the unusable-name branch does) would close it. A test with two references sharing a basename would be worth having.

One process note, not a code issue: this branch carries all of #1369, which is still open. If #1369 merges first this will need a rebase, and if this merges first #1369 becomes redundant. Whichever order you and I settle on is fine, just flagging it so it doesn't surprise us at merge time.

No merge conflicts against rc, and CI is green apart from one Windows shard still running. Ping me when the origin match is exact and I'll take another look.

… document names

- compare only the final segment of the origin with an optional .git suffix stripped, so an unrelated checkout whose URL merely contains the repository name can no longer authorise the recursive delete
- fail closed when repoSlug carries no owner, instead of accepting the bare .git check alone
- suffix a document whose file name is already taken in the batch rather than overwriting it, through one shared helper used by both document loops
- cover the false-positive origins, the fork-rewritten origin, and collisions including case-insensitive and extensionless names
test(symphony): cover basename collisions through the document loop
- drive startContribution with two references that reduce to the same file name and assert both are written to distinct destinations
- the existing runner tests all pass an empty documentPaths, so this loop had no coverage

Thanks Pedram, both done.

1. Origin match. It now compares the final segment of the origin with the optional .git stripped, so it handles both https and scp-style remotes. Your two cases are covered as tests, plus repo-name-in-host and repo-name-as-suffix. It also fails closed when repoSlug arrives without an owner, rather than returning true on the bare .git check.

I ran the guard in the app against real checkouts with uncommitted files in them: the three decoy origins survive, and the three genuine ones (including a fork-rewritten origin) still get cleaned up.

2. Collisions. Disambiguated rather than dropped, so docs/architecture.md and spec/architecture.md land as architecture.md and architecture-2.md. Both loops go through one helper. The test drives startContribution with two colliding references and asserts two distinct destinations, and I checked it goes red against the old behaviour.

Left the pre-existing findings alone as you asked, and agreed on the integration test false positive.

On the process note: I retargeted this PR's base to refactoring, so it now shows only the three security commits. It should auto-retarget to rc when #1369 lands, and I'll rebase onto rc then. Happy for #1369 to go first.
