isGeneratedLegacyCommand lstat'ed a path and then re-read it by path, so the file judged "generated" could differ from the file read (CodeQL js/file-system-race, alert #524, added by #1874). Open once with O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK, fstat that handle, and read from it. Windows lacks O_NOFOLLOW, so links are still refused there via lstat. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

isGeneratedLegacyCommand()closes itsFileHandlebefore returning. The caller then invokes the imported Nodefs.promises.unlink(filePath), which resolves the pathname again. A replacement after validation and beforeunlinkcan therefore delete a user file. The same gap exists in the file-based cleanup branch.The current test replaces
proposal.mdduring the secondfs.open, before the deletion validation. It does not exercise the interval after validation. Interceptfs.unlink, replace the file immediately before the real unlink, and assert that the replacement remains and cleanup does not report it as deleted.Node 20.19's
FileHandleAPI does not provide descriptor-bound unlink, andfs.promises.unlinkaccepts a path. Use a cross-platform ownership or serialization protocol supported by the repository, or skip deletion when cleanup cannot establish that the pathname still identifies the validated file. A final identity recheck alone is not sufficient.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What was wrong
isGeneratedLegacyCommand(added in #1874) didfs.lstat(path)to confirm a regular file and thenfs.readFile(path)to look for OpenSpec markers. Between the two calls the path could be swapped (for example, for a symlink), so the file that was checked wasn't guaranteed to be the file that was read. CodeQL flagged this asjs/file-system-race(high).How it was fixed
The file is opened once and every check runs on that open handle:
fs.openwithO_RDONLY | O_NOFOLLOW | O_NONBLOCK.O_NOFOLLOWrefuses a symlink when the file is opened.O_NONBLOCKstops a FIFO from hanging the open, which the old lstat-first code also avoided.handle.stat().isFile(), thenhandle.readFile(), and the handle is closed infinally.O_NOFOLLOW, so there symlinks are still refused with anlstatcheck after the open. Behavior matches the old code on every platform.Replication / proof
test/core/legacy-cleanup*.test.ts: 139/139 pass.never follows a symlinked legacy command file. Aproposal.mdsymlink that points at an OpenSpec-marked file outside the project is kept, and its target is left alone. This guards the no-follow behavior the oldlstatgave (skipped on Windows, like the existing symlink test).keeps proposal.md when the user replaces it after cleanup has scanned the folderused to hookfs.readFile, which this code no longer calls. It now swaps the file in on the secondfs.openofproposal.md, the pre-unlink re-check. Same scenario, same assertions.artifact-workflow"creates skills for Cursor tool" andconfig-profile"confirmed project apply…") fail the same way without this change.Notes / nits
unlinkgap in the callers is still there. Node has nounlinkat-on-handle, so it can't be closed fully. CodeQL doesn't flag it, and it's out of scope here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
