Summary

Makes the full Bun suite pass on an unelevated Windows checkout. What started as one icacls fix turned into a sweep: most failures were Windows-only defects in production code, and the rest were tests describing the machine instead of the code.

Production defects

  • src/codex/user-identity.ts resolved LocalAppData through .NET GetFolderPath(LocalApplicationData), which follows USERPROFILE and returns an empty string when that profile has no AppData on disk. Every coordinator lookup then refused, cascading into locking, transition-state, catalog serialization and sync. Now uses SHGetKnownFolderPath(FOLDERID_LocalAppData, KF_FLAG_DEFAULT_PATH, token=0), which ignores the environment. A non-null token is not equivalent: (HANDLE)-1 resolves the Default profile.
  • src/codex/injected-marker.ts returned raw bytes between quotes without decoding TOML escapes, so a Windows path read back with doubled backslashes and the journal could not restore the catalog it wrote (ocx stop/restore leave unmarked openai_base_url + proxy models_cache behind when Codex app rewrote config after injection #1798). paths.ts already had the correct reader; both now share it.
  • src/lab/projection/rebuild.ts closed its database without finalizing prepared statements. On Windows that holds the file open, so a second rebuild could not unlink the projection it was replacing — ten Compatibility Lab failures from one leak.
  • src/lib/windows-secret-acl.ts: icacls resolved from a trusted System32 path, plus a typecheck fix where a ReturnType<typeof Bun.spawn> annotation widened the stdio types.
  • Identity lookups are memoized per process: they spawned PowerShell on every config write and lock acquisition (~510ms per coordinator path resolution, now ~1ms).

Test-side fixes

  • scripts/test.ts pins GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL before moving HOME, so git still sees safe.directory; without it every git call failed with "dubious ownership" on a checkout owned by another account.
  • tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts built its repo root from URL.pathname (/C:/... on Windows) and matched a literal /src/lab/. The guard was inert on Windows — it would have reported clean for a real Lab import. Its own adversarial cases now fail before the fix and pass after it.
  • Marker publication, teardown races, POSIX mode assertions, symlink-privilege cases, and genuine multi-process budgets, each addressed in its own commit.

Two commits fix source-shape checks that the current dev tip left behind; both were verified failing on origin/dev independently of this branch.

No GUI behaviour changes. The only gui/ file touched is gui/tests/models-native-group-controls.test.ts, whose assertion pinned a one-line expression that dev has since wrapped — a text match, not a rendered surface, so there is nothing to screenshot.

Verification

  • Full suite on this Windows machine, run in batches of 60 files: 806/806 files, 0 failures. Batching is a Bun workaround — bun test --isolate ./tests/ reaches ~3.5GB RSS and panics near the end of an 806-file run, after every test has already passed.
  • Fixed files were each re-run 3x consecutively; flakiness was treated as failure.
  • bun x tsc --noEmit (strict, tsc 7) green.
  • bun run privacy:scan green.
  • Skips are explicit and only where Windows withholds a privilege (file symlinks need Developer Mode) or where an assertion is POSIX-only (Windows synthesizes mode bits).

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds trusted icacls.exe resolution, environment-independent Windows identity lookup, TOML string decoding, injectable platform handling, SQLite statement cleanup, and cross-platform test synchronization and filesystem adjustments.

Changes

Windows hardening and portability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trusted icacls.exe execution
src/lib/windows-elevation.ts, src/lib/windows-secret-acl.ts, tests/windows-elevation.test.ts, tests/windows-secret-acl.test.ts
Test overrides now support icacls. Resolution validates the trusted Windows system directory. ACL runners return standardized failed results when process creation fails. Tests cover trusted paths and direct-spawn avoidance.
Environment-independent Windows identity
src/codex/user-identity.ts
Windows LocalAppData resolution now uses SHGetKnownFolderPath. Successful PowerShell identity lookups use per-process memoization.
TOML marker parsing
src/codex/injected-marker.ts
Root and provider-table string extraction now captures quoted TOML values and decodes escapes.
Platform seams and isolated environment
src/server/management/context.ts, src/server/management/agent-settings-routes.ts, tests/claude-management-api.test.ts, scripts/test.ts
Management API tests inject the platform through dependencies. Isolated tests preserve the caller’s global Git configuration.
Projection statement cleanup
src/lab/projection/rebuild.ts
Projection rebuilds track prepared SQLite statements and finalize them before closing the database.
Cross-platform test synchronization
tests/cli-models.test.ts, tests/codex-*.test.ts, tests/helpers/codex-write-lock-child.ts, tests/config.test.ts, tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts, tests/dsh-writer-lock.test.ts
Tests add bounded process budgets, platform-specific junction and permission handling, normalized paths, temporary roots, deterministic lock markers, symlink capability checks, and explicit fixture environment values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e7a71

The PR changes Windows setup and configuration handling, but the current head still carries unresolved risks that could misreport elevated setup results, produce incorrect provider values, or cause excessive processing on malformed input. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Inline comments:
In `@src/codex/injected-marker.ts`:
- Around line 21-25: Update the regular expression returned by the marker
matcher so the double-quoted string’s non-escape branch excludes backslashes,
leaving escaped characters handled only by the escaped-character branch;
preserve quote capture and single-quoted matching.
- Line 35: Update parseTomlString in paths.ts to decode TOML basic-string
escapes, including Unicode code-point escapes such as \UXXXXXXXX, instead of
returning the raw interior when JSON parsing fails; invalid or unsupported
escapes must fail closed. Preserve the callers in injected-marker.ts, and add a
focused Bun regression test covering the \U0001F600 input and its decoded value.

In `@src/codex/user-identity.ts`:
- Around line 121-156: Add focused Windows regression coverage near the existing
tests for the coordinator-root subsystem: validate the expression exposed by
windowsLocalAppDataExpressionForTests, and verify the cache returns a successful
lookup value on subsequent calls while failed lookups are not memoized and are
retried.

Apply the same fix in `@src/codex/injected-marker.ts` around lines 21 - 25: The
same focused-regression-test remediation applies to the parser changes.

In `@tests/codex-catalog-writer.test.ts`:
- Around line 240-243: Update the hardening assertions in the affected test
cases to verify the exact expected path and expected harden effect for each
mutator, rather than only checking for any effect with the harden prefix. Keep
the Windows-specific mode-bit condition unchanged while ensuring every mutator
under test has its corresponding harden call asserted.

In `@tests/codex-v2-gate.test.ts`:
- Around line 690-695: Update the symlink-dependent test around symlinkSync to
perform a one-time capability probe, then register the test with
test.skipIf(!canSymlink) so environments that cannot create symlinks are
recorded as skipped rather than returning from the test callback. Preserve the
existing EPERM handling and assertions when symlink creation is available,
following the established pattern used by the related probe test.

Make the basic-string matcher linear.

At src/codex/injected-marker.ts:25, [^"] can also consume \. Malformed quoted values with many backslashes then cause excessive backtracking during parsing.

Exclude backslashes from the second branch:

Use TOML-compatible escape decoding in parseTomlString.

src/codex/paths.ts:120-129 uses JSON.parse, then returns the raw interior when parsing fails. Therefore, "\U0001F600" becomes the literal \U0001F600 instead of 😀. This can make the root comparison in src/codex/injected-marker.ts:77 fail and can return incorrect provider values at lines 35 and 54.

Decode the TOML basic-string escapes, including \UXXXXXXXX, and fail closed on invalid escapes. Add a focused Bun regression test for this input.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add focused regression coverage for the changed lookup and parser contracts.

Cover the known-folder expression and success-only caching in src/codex/user-identity.ts, plus escaped Windows paths, quoted keys and values, # inside strings, trailing comments, and malformed backslash input in src/codex/injected-marker.ts. These tests should lock down behavior that can otherwise break Windows lock acquisition, configuration writes, or marker/provider selection.

Assert the expected hardening effect.

effects.some(effect => effect.startsWith("harden:")) proves only that one harden effect occurred. It can pass if the wrong path was hardened or if another mutator was hardened while the current mutator was not. Assert the exact expected harden path and one expected effect for each mutator under test.

Bun test documentation test.skip test.skipIf return from test callback skipped

💡 Result:

In Bun's native bun:test runner, tests can be skipped using test.skip() or conditionally skipped using test.skipIf(condition). These methods prevent the test function from running entirely [1][2]. If you are using the Node.js compatibility layer (node:test), a different approach is used via the test context. You can call t.skip() within a test function to mark it as skipped [3]. Notably, calling t.skip() in node:test does not terminate the execution of the test function; if there is additional logic following the t.skip() call, it will still execute [3]. Regarding the behavior of returning from a test callback, bun:test primarily relies on Promises for asynchronous testing. If a test returns a Promise, the runner waits for it to resolve or reject [4]. In node:test, if you are using the older callback-style "done" pattern, it is important to ensure the test does not finish prematurely; however, using modern async/await patterns is recommended to avoid issues where assertions might be ignored [5]. Summary of skip methods: - test.skip(name, fn): Skips the test [1][6]. - test.skipIf(condition)(name, fn): Skips the test if the condition is true [1][7]. - t.skip(message) (in node:test context): Marks the test as skipped in output but does not stop the execution of the remaining function body [3].

Register the test as skipped when symlink creation is unavailable.

At tests/codex-v2-gate.test.ts:690-695, returning on Windows EPERM completes the callback without running the assertion or recording a skipped result. Use a one-time symlink capability probe and test.skipIf(!canSymlink), as in tests/codex-service-manager-probe.test.ts:239-255.

Add a Windows regression test for statement finalization.

Line 381 implements the handle-release behavior that prevents the next rebuild from failing to replace the SQLite projection. This cohort changes src/lab/projection/rebuild.ts but includes no test under tests/ for this behavior.

Add a focused Windows test that calls rebuildLabProjection() twice with the same temporary configDir. Assert that the second rebuild completes without EBUSY or EPERM. Exercise normal db.close() behavior. A forced close does not verify that the statements are finalized.

As per path instructions: A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.

Bare icacls.exe on PATH threw ENOENT under a bun-shim environment and was reported as missing NTFS ACL support, which blocked ocx service install. Use GetSystemDirectoryW like schtasks/powershell, and classify spawn failure as EICACLS.
The Windows coordinator namespace resolved LocalAppData through .NET
GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), which follows USERPROFILE and
returns an EMPTY STRING -- not an error -- when the profile it computes has no
AppData directory on disk. Any caller with a redirected USERPROFILE therefore
refused every coordinator lookup with "Windows effective-account lookup returned
an empty value", which is precisely the environment dependence this module exists
to eliminate. The suite hid it by handing each child the real profile back, so
the defect read as unrelated assertion failures across locking, transition-state,
catalog serialization and sync.

Use SHGetKnownFolderPath with a null token and KF_FLAG_DEFAULT_PATH instead: it
reads the known-folder registration for the effective token, returns the real
per-user path whether or not the directory exists, and is unaffected by
USERPROFILE, LOCALAPPDATA, HOMEDRIVE or HOMEPATH. A non-null token is NOT
equivalent: passing (HANDLE)-1 resolves the built-in Default profile, which would
key coordination to a namespace no real account writes to.

The write-lock contention child published its hold marker with Bun.write, whose
write only lands on a later event-loop turn. The callback that follows is a
synchronous busy wait by contract, so the marker appeared ~3s late, after the hold
had already ended, and the contender met an unheld lock and reported acquired
where the test demands busy. Write the marker synchronously.

The symlink spelling case needed Developer Mode to create a directory symlink;
an NTFS junction needs no privilege and exercises the same realpath
canonicalization, so the invariant stays proven on an unelevated machine.
…st isolation

Six failures on an unelevated Windows checkout, none of which were product bugs
in the code they pointed at:

The test sandbox moves HOME, and git resolves ~/.gitconfig from HOME, so the
developer's `safe.directory` became invisible to every git call a test made. On a
checkout whose directory owner differs from the running account -- ordinary on
Windows when a tool or installer created the tree -- git then refused with
"detected dubious ownership", the adapter read that as "not a git repository",
and command-code asserted against its empty fallback. Pin GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to
the real file before HOME moves; the sandbox is unchanged, since git writes
nothing there.

claude-management-api spoofed process.platform globally, which sent Windows
management-token initialization down the POSIX ACL path and answered 503 before
the assertion under test was ever reached. Project the capability through an
explicit management dependency instead, so the platform under test is named
rather than impersonated.

codex-sqlite-home asserted a POSIX-shaped literal for a relative-path resolution
whose point is anchoring, not spelling; every neighbouring case already spells it
through resolve/join. codex-history-reachability compared backslash paths against
a forward-slash inventory, so the named permitted module could not match itself.
codex-catalog-writer asserted chmod through stat mode bits that Windows only
synthesizes, while the recorded harden effect proves the same transition. cli
models and the catalog resync exceeded Bun's 5s default while doing real
multi-process CLI work, and now use the repository's existing spawn budget.

codex-config-generation created fixtures under tests/ and replaced its sandbox
root with a file, so a failed SQLite open kept a Windows handle and teardown left
the directory behind; it uses the OS temp dir and a directory at the database
path, keeping the typed-error coverage.

The catalog-sync workaround that handed children back the real USERPROFILE is
removed: the defect it described is fixed at the source in the parent commit, and
a workaround outliving its cause only hides the next regression.
…of the code

The bare-PATH resolution case builds its launcher with a file symlink, which needs
Developer Mode or admin on Windows and failed with EPERM before the probe under
test ever ran. No privilege-free substitute preserves what it proves: the resolver
follows the PATH entry through realpath into `@openai/codex/bin/` to reach the
sibling platform package, and a copy erases that association, a hard link reports
its own path as its realpath, and a .cmd wrapper is never matched for a bare
command. Report a visible skip where the OS withholds the privilege, in the shape
claude-agents-inject and codex-service-manager-probe already use.

The key-delegation case called codexFeaturesInvocation with no seams, so it read
the developer's own Codex install. Where that install is the npm codex.cmd, the
invocation is correctly wrapped in `cmd /d /s /c` and the raw-args assertion
failed -- describing the machine's install shape, not the delegation under test.
Name the platform and resolution seams, exactly as the invocation-shape case
further down the same file already does.
…values

rootTomlString and providerTableString returned the raw bytes between the quotes,
so a basic TOML string was never unescaped. On Windows that matters immediately:
a path is written as an escaped basic string, so reading it back yielded doubled
backslashes and a value that matches nothing on disk. The journal records
injectedCatalogPath through exactly this path, so restore after a Codex app
rewrite could not recognize the catalog it had written itself (#1798).

paths.ts already had the correct reader -- readRootTomlString captures the quoted
value and decodes it with parseTomlString. These two helpers are the same idea
spelled a second time without that step, which is why the divergence went unseen
on POSIX, where an escaped path and its raw bytes are usually identical. Capture
the value with its quotes and decode it through the same parser rather than
maintaining a second, subtly weaker interpretation of the format.
The effective token's SID and its known-folder local AppData were re-derived by a
fresh PowerShell on every call: about 150ms and 310ms respectively, and the
coordinator asks for both on every config write and lock acquisition. Neither can
change without a new logon token, and both lookups deliberately ignore the
environment, so the second spawn only re-establishes what the first already knew.

On Windows that overhead was not merely wasteful: it pushed real multi-process
injection tests past their budget, where they timed out at 5s while doing genuine
work. Memoize successful lookups for the process lifetime -- roughly 510ms to 1ms
for a coordinator path resolution. Refusals are not cached, so a transient failure
cannot pin a process into a permanently refusing state.
…und fixtures

The core/Lab boundary test never ran on Windows. It built its repository root from
`new URL(import.meta.url).pathname`, which yields "/C:/..." there, so resolving it
produced "C:\\C:\\..." and every case threw ENOENT while opening its own sources.
Two further spellings assumed POSIX separators: the walk matched the literal
"/src/lab/", which no backslash path can contain, and the reported chain kept the
native separator so the attack cases could not match it.

That combination matters more than a red test. This guard exists because the
original violation hid in a six-hop import chain and pulled ~69 Lab modules into
every install; with the path broken it would have reported clean for a real Lab
import exactly as it did for a missing file. Its own adversarial cases now fail
before the fix and pass after it, which is the evidence that it is live again.

config.ts dotfiles cases need a file symlink, which no privilege-free construct
substitutes for, so they take the visible skip this repository already uses for
the same constraint. The DSH settings case asserted 0o600 through stat, but
Windows synthesizes mode from the read-only attribute and always answers 0o666;
assert the file exists everywhere and the permission bits only where they mean
something.
… own file

rebuildLabProjection closed its database without finalizing the statements it had
prepared. Bun keeps a prepared statement alive until it is finalized or collected,
and on Windows an outstanding statement holds the file open: `close()` leaves the
handle behind and `close(true)` throws "database is locked". The next rebuild then
could not unlink the projection it was replacing, and the retry loop in wipeSqlite
could only convert that into a slower failure -- "failed to remove stale projection
file after retries". POSIX permits unlinking an open file, which is why a rebuild
that is deterministic by contract was only ever non-deterministic on Windows.

Collect the prepared statements and finalize them before the close. This is the
real defect behind ten Compatibility Lab failures across the ledger, fabric-task
and public-evidence suites, all of which called rebuild more than once.

Two server tests also exceeded Bun's 5s default while binding real proxies: the
Retry-After case runs two full pool-passthrough cycles and the #702 case binds one
proxy per route class to prove none of them reaches upstream. In both the servers
are the assertion, so they take the existing SERVER_BUDGET_MS rather than a new knob.
The contention test released its holder and dropped the exit promise on the floor,
so afterEach could remove the temp root while that child still had the coordinator
database open. Windows refuses to unlink a file another process holds, so teardown
threw EBUSY and the failure was attributed to a test that had already proved its
assertion. POSIX unlinks an open file regardless, which is why this only ever
appeared on Windows, and only under full-suite load where the child exits slower.

Await the holder, and let teardown retry briefly before giving the directory back
to the OS: `force` covers a missing path, not a locked one, and a temp directory
left behind is a smaller lie than a green test reported red.
Filling the affinity cap persists CODEX_THREAD_AFFINITY_MAX_ENTRIES real mappings, and that store work is the eviction proof rather than incidental setup. On Windows the pair sits right on Bun default of 5s -- one measured 5.7s and its neighbour 5.25s -- so the cap test failed on load while the test beside it passed by a quarter second. Both take the existing STORE_BUDGET_MS.
The isolated Codex home rethrew when its temp tree could not be removed. On
Windows a proxy or child that is still shutting down can hold a file there past
the 2.5s retry budget, and the throw landed in afterEach -- so a test that had
already asserted everything it claims was reported red, and the red pointed at
whatever happened to run in that slot rather than at an OS release race.

The env restore is the part other tests depend on and still runs unconditionally;
the directory is disposable. Leave it to the OS when the retries are exhausted. The
rate-limit E2E teardown had the same shape with a worse consequence: a failed
removal skipped the clearKeyCooldowns() call after it, leaking cooldown state into
the next test.
completeMockCodexOAuth waited between login-status polls with queueMicrotask. A
microtask only yields to work already queued, but the login flow awaits real I/O --
credential reads and the WHAM fetch -- so under load its continuation lands on the
macrotask queue and 500 microtask turns can pass without it running once. The flow
then reached its own 150-poll ceiling and reported "Login timed out before OAuth
completed" where the test asserts a specific commit-failure message, which reads as
a behavioural regression rather than a starved poller.

setImmediate yields past the microtask queue, so each poll observes the state the
flow actually reached.
The refusal is only proven by letting a connection attempt reach its own 2s socket timeout, on top of starting and stopping a real proxy and listener. On a loaded Windows box that measured 5.04s against Bun default of 5s, so the case failed for the wait that IS its assertion. Use the existing SERVER_BUDGET_MS.
discoverProjectCodexConfigPaths walks up to 12 parents, and on Windows the OS temp
directory lives under C:\Users\<user> -- so the fixture's walk climbed out of the
fixture and found the developer's real ~/.codex/config.toml. The identity check
cannot exclude it, because it genuinely is a different file from the fixture's
codexConfigPath. Bound the walk; the assertion is that a parent walk does not
rediscover the global config, not how far it may travel.

The claim-narrowing case asserted 0o644 before and 0o600 after, but Windows
synthesizes mode from the read-only attribute and answers 0o666 regardless, so
neither end of the transition is observable there. The call still runs on every
platform; only the POSIX-shaped observation is conditional.

The auth-temp residue case needs a real file symlink to prove it refuses to follow
one, and that needs Developer Mode or admin. Take the visible skip; the hard-link
case beside it still proves the scrubber will not truncate a shared target here.
…wn race

Four responses-state cases are irreducibly about symlink resolution -- following a
symlinked snapshot to its real directory, or refusing an oversized or non-regular
one -- and creating a file symlink needs Developer Mode or admin on Windows. They
failed in the fixture, before the behaviour under test ran. Detect the privilege
once and take the visible skip this repository already uses for the constraint.

The CL-06 boundary teardown removed its temp root unconditionally and threw EBUSY
when a shutting-down server still held a file there, failing a test that had
already asserted. The state that matters is reset before it; leave the directory
to the OS.
Starting two real servers, driving a policy job to idle, and stopping both IS the assertion that one stop leaves the other process-wide work alone. That sequence measured 5.4s against Bun default of 5s on Windows, so it failed for its own evidence. Use the existing SERVER_BUDGET_MS.
inspectNpmCacheDirectory judges accessibility from POSIX owner bits, and a Windows
directory reports 0o666 with no execute bit -- so the owner-rwx check can never
pass and every inspection answered cache_entry_inaccessible. That is not a defect
to fix: the module inspects a Unix npm cache, and runNpmCachePreflight already
returns windows_skip before reaching it. The worker round-trip case additionally
spawns the real npm while claiming a non-Windows platform, which is slow and
proves nothing here. Both are now explicitly non-Windows, and the windows_skip
case beside them still covers the branch this platform actually takes.

Three real-home guard cases and three npm-cache cases need genuine symlinks to
prove the guard resolves through one; that needs Developer Mode or admin. They
take the visible skip already used elsewhere for the same constraint.

Limit swallowed teardown errors to expected release races.

The three cleanup sites catch all filesystem errors. This can hide unexpected cleanup defects and leave temporary test state behind. Reuse one transient-removal predicate so expected Windows release races are ignored while unrelated errors remain visible.

  • tests/helpers/isolated-codex-home.ts#L29-L33: preserve CODEX_HOME restoration, but rethrow non-transient removal errors.
  • tests/routing-compatibility-boundaries.test.ts#L73-L79: restrict the rmSync catch to known transient release errors.
  • tests/server-rate-limit-retry-e2e.test.ts#L32-L38: allow cooldown reset to continue only after expected cleanup errors.

Bun test documentation test.skipIf callback returns without assertions skipped test semantics

💡 Result:

In Bun, the test.skipIf(condition) method is designed to conditionally skip a test based on a provided boolean value [1][2]. When the condition evaluates to true, the test is skipped, meaning the test body is not executed at all [1][2]. Because the test body is not run, any assertions inside the test are never reached or evaluated [1][2]. This is the standard behavior for skipped tests in most testing frameworks; they are effectively ignored by the test runner [1][3]. If you are seeing a test that is skipped via test.skipIf yet behaves as if it is running or failing, ensure the condition passed to skipIf is correctly resolving to the expected boolean value [2][4]. The method takes a boolean parameter; if the condition is false, the test will execute normally and perform its assertions [2][5]. If you intend to conditionally skip a test but still want to see certain logs or partial behavior regardless of the condition, that logic would need to be handled outside of the test declaration or via different structural patterns, as test.skipIf is a binary state for the entire test block [1][6].

Register unavailable symlink support as a skipped test.

At tests/native-main-auth-temp.test.ts:77-85, add a module-level canSymlink probe and wrap this case with test.skipIf(!canSymlink)(...). A return completes the callback normally, so the security assertions are not executed. Keep unexpected errors rethrown and leave the hard-link test unguarded.

In `@tests/native-main-auth-temp.test.ts` around lines 77 - 85, Replace the
callback-level Windows EPERM return in the symlink test with a module-level
canSymlink capability probe, and register the symlink case through
test.skipIf(!canSymlink). Keep unexpected probe errors rethrown, preserve the
symlink security assertions when supported, and leave the hard-link test
unguarded.

Both failures are on origin/dev independently of this branch, and both come from
the same shape: a test that asserts on the TEXT of a source file, pinned to a
spelling the implementation has since changed.

8b67220 threaded nativeContextLimits through the remaining Codex and Desktop
writers, but sync-client-integrations still required the retired
providerContextCap spelling -- so the check failed against the very change it
exists to pin. The GUI cap-display check required a one-line expression that is now
wrapped and has grown a native branch, so it was pinning formatting rather than
behaviour. Match the current spellings, and match the GUI expression as fragments
so a reflow cannot fail it again.

Verified on origin/dev before this branch was rebased onto it: the sync case fails
there with the same message, and the GUI case fails there in a clean worktree.

This does not change the GUI: the only gui/ file in the diff is gui/tests/models-native-group-controls.test.ts, a source-text assertion that pinned a one-line expression the dev tip has since wrapped. No rendered surface changed, so there is nothing to screenshot.

Docs-only roadmap unit for the post-lidge-jun#1881 wave campaign, written against the
verified Gate 0 baseline (dev 1208bd2; lidge-jun#1881 and lidge-jun#1909 both ancestors).

The unit carries two rounds of independent audit. Round 1 returned FAIL with
nine blockers and all nine were folded in; the most consequential correction
removed the campaign's only new production mechanism.

The external audit that seeded this campaign asked for the direct-Google and
Antigravity wire-id tables to be split apart for lidge-jun#1894. They are already
separate - src/adapters/google.ts owns GEMINI_DIRECT_WIRE_RENAMES, and
src/providers/antigravity-models.ts owns GEMINI_FLASH_WIRE_ID, with the
resolver already chosen per googleMode. The real defect is that the direct
rename is unconditional while the -tiered spelling is deployment-specific:
a70bb78 and lidge-jun#1894 carry contradictory live captures from the same week,
and both are credible.

The first plan answered that with a 404-triggered retry onto the alternate
spelling. The audit killed it: AI Studio installs no fetchResponse, so the
adapter never sees the 404, and the only hosts are the core pre-stream
recovery loop or the mid-stream terminal guard - the latter would splice two
upstream turns into one client stream. WP1 is now lidge-jun#1739 alone, and the
durable answer (resolve the spelling from /v1beta/models, which the tree
already queries) is deferred to its own cycle rather than ridden in.

Three further work-phases shrank once the tree was read rather than assumed:
WP2 drops to one file, because lidge-jun#1881 already landed two of lidge-jun#1899's three and
lidge-jun#1899 is CONFLICTING as a result; WP3 drops to a single -ErrorAction Stop,
because the sentinel and unknown state it proposed already exist; WP4 keeps
its key-completeness finding, which is real, but gains the constraint that
the sibling cache's identities are process-local HMACs, so copying them into
a durable key would silently break restart replay instead of fixing scope.

Merge orders are corrected too: 5D leads with lidge-jun#1891 rather than the only
red-CI PR, 5C names live-transport.ts as a four-way conflict surface with a
rebase step per merge, and merge order is verified with rev-list --topo-order
rather than --is-ancestor, which cannot observe order at all.

The catalog writer tests asserted that a temp file was written, that something
was hardened, and that something was published - three unbound some() checks
that all hold even when the three touch different files, which is the failure
they exist to catch. On Windows that is the only proof available: chmodSync
moves the read-only flag alone and statSync keeps reporting 0o666, so real
restriction comes from the per-user NTFS ACL rather than a mode.

Order matters as much as membership. Hardening lands on the temp file and
publishing moves that already-restricted file into place; a writer that
published first and hardened after would leave the destination world-readable
for the width of the gap, and a set-membership assertion passes for that writer
too. Comparing the recorded indices is what turns this into a claim about the
race instead of a claim about the call list.

Driven red before landing: forcing the harden index above the publish index
fails 4 of the 9 tests, and restoring returns all 9 to green.

lidge-jun#1899 reached the same binding for this file; its other two files are already
covered by lidge-jun#1881, which is why that branch now conflicts. This is the surviving
residue, rewritten with the ordering guarantee that neither lidge-jun#1881 nor lidge-jun#1899
actually asserted.
