# Scratchpad — #791 Upgrade config protection (ms-791 worker lane)

**Lane:** web1:ms-791 → reports to MS-LEAD (web1:mosaic-100). Do NOT contact Jason/Mos directly.
**Worktree:** `/home/hermes/agent-work/stack-agents-dir-791`, branch `feat/791-upgrade-config-protection`
off `origin/main` `9745bc3f` (verified exact head).

## Mission prompt (verbatim intent)
Protect operator-owned config under `~/.config/mosaic` from framework-upgrade wipes. Ratified
combination (Mos-approved, do NOT re-litigate): (b) strict ownership separation [PRIMARY] + (a)
transactional pre-update snapshot [safety net] + (d) regeneration-from-SSOT [recovery]. (c) periodic
timer DEFERRED. HARD GATE: unit test that an upgrade run touches NO path outside the manifest.
Design-first: write design doc, send to MS-LEAD, WAIT for confirmation before impl.

## Session 1 (2026-07-16) — Phase 1 design

### Evidence gathered (wipe mechanism, file/line)
- `mosaic update` → `update-checker.ts:509` `buildReseedCommand` → `bash install.sh`
  (`MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1`, `MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep`).
- Wipe = `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh:199` `rsync -a --delete` + `PRESERVE_PATHS` denylist
  (`install.sh:47`). cp-fallback `install.sh:223` `find ... -exec rm -rf`.
- Denylist gaps → WIPED: `agents/*.conf`, `policy/*.md`, `*.local.md`, harvester/SOP,
  `tools/_lib/credentials.json`.
- Stale comment `update-checker.ts:492` claims `*.local` preserved — PRESERVE_PATHS has no such entry.
- TS path `file-adapter.ts:157` → `file-ops.ts:66` `syncDirectory` = non-destructive copy-overlay, BUT
  its preserve list (`file-adapter.ts:164`) already DRIFTED from install.sh (missing `fleet/backlog`,
  `fleet/roles.local`). Evidence for single shared manifest SSOT.
- Existing snapshot (`install.sh:76`) = /tmp, crash-trap only, deleted on success → inadequate; no
  `mosaic restore`.
- `fleet-reconciler.ts:93,234` already has `regenerate-projections-from-roster` phase separate from
  lifecycle → `mosaic fleet regen` = thin projection-only wrapper (no restart), no FCM-M4/M5 preemption.

### Design decisions
- **(b)** Invert to allow-list: shared `framework/framework-manifest.json` (framework globs +
  operatorReserved carve-outs); resolve per-path, deny-wins; **UNKNOWN ⇒ operator (fail-safe)**.
  Mechanism: drop `--delete`; non-deleting bulk copy + explicit manifest-scoped prune pass (iterate
  framework globs only → operator/unknown structurally unreachable). Pure prune-planner fn for tests.
- **(a)** Snapshot to `~/.local/state/mosaic/backups/pre-update-<ts>/` 0700/0600, retention N=5,
  post-sync verify+restore, `mosaic restore --list/--from`. No secret values in output.
- **(d)** `mosaic fleet regen` projection-only, preview-first, never restart.
- HARD GATE test includes a deliberately-unanticipated operator path to prove fail-safe default.
- **PR split:** PR1 manifest+guard (root fix, ships alone) → PR2 snapshot/restore (secrev) → PR3
  regen+docs. PR2/PR3 depend on PR1.

### Status
Design doc written: `docs/design/791-upgrade-config-protection.md`. Sent to MS-LEAD.

## Session 1 (cont.) — MS-LEAD CONFIRMED → Phase 2 GO
All 4 asks approved. Binding conditions:
- TDD tests-first, red-first proof per PR; ≥85% new-code; co-located `*.spec.ts`; never `--no-verify`.
- HARD GATE test (§2.4, unanticipated sentinel survives byte-identical + mtime unchanged) = MERGE-BLOCKING for PR1.
- Manifest-completeness test (§6.2) required.
- Bash+TS read ONE shared `framework-manifest.json`; parity test (§6.1) required (closes #631 drift class).
- UNKNOWN⇒operator (rule 3) non-negotiable. Keep prune-planner PURE.
- `fleet regen`: NEVER restart; dry-run default, `--write` to apply; "never issues restart" test mandatory.
- Independent review every PR; PR2 dedicated secrev.
- One PR at a time through DAG. Report PR1 exact head + red→green evidence for review commission.

### Now: implementing PR1 (manifest + resolver + non-deleting sync + scoped prune + guard tests).

## Session 2 (2026-07-16) — PR1 built, tests-first, red→green proven

Deviation noted to MS-LEAD in PR: manifest is `framework-manifest.txt` (line-oriented), NOT `.json`.
Rationale: keep the bash installer free of a python3/jq dependency. The "ONE shared file, parity-
tested" requirement is honored — `manifest-parity.spec.ts` drives the bash resolver as a subprocess
and asserts byte-identical ownership vs the TS resolver over 34 probe paths spanning every class.

### PR1 artifacts
- SSOT: `packages/mosaic/framework/framework-manifest.txt` ([framework]/[operator], deny-wins, fail-safe).
- TS resolver: `src/framework/manifest.ts` (pure: parse/matchGlob/resolveOwnership/frameworkSubtreeRoots/
  planPrune) + `manifest.spec.ts` (18 tests incl. planPrune property test + §6.2 completeness).
- Bash resolver: `framework/tools/_lib/manifest.sh` (compiled globs → fork-free `manifest_is_framework`;
  CLI `resolve|subtree-roots|classify`). Sourced by install.sh.
- HARD GATE (§2.4): `framework/tools/quality/scripts/test-upgrade-manifest-guard.sh` — keep-mode reseed,
  10 operator sentinels (incl. unanticipated `unknown-operator-dir/x`, `harvester/sop.md`,
  `fleet/my-fleet.yaml`) survive byte-identical + mtime-unchanged; retired framework file pruned;
  secret value absent from output. RED=31 fail (orig install.sh) → GREEN=48 pass (fixed).
- install.sh: keep mode now manifest-driven (`sync_framework_keep`, no `--delete`); overwrite unchanged.
  PRESERVE_PATHS denylist deleted.
- TS sync: `file-ops.syncDirectory` gains `isOperatorOwned` guard; `file-adapter.syncFramework` derives
  it from `loadManifest` — hardcoded (drifted) preservePaths deleted. Fixture uses the REAL manifest.
- Parity: `manifest-parity.spec.ts` (§6.1) — bash↔TS agree on 34 paths + subtree roots.
- Migration matrix `test-install-migration.sh`: F6 flipped — `my-fleet.yaml` now MUST survive (fail-safe).
- CI: new merge-blocking `upgrade-guard` step (`.woodpecker/ci.yml`) runs both bash suites (adds rsync).
- update-checker.ts reseed comment corrected to the manifest model.

### Gates (all green)
- `pnpm typecheck` ✓ · `pnpm lint` ✓ · `pnpm format:check` ✓
- Full mosaic vitest: 1062 passed (cli-smoke needs `pnpm build` first — build-artifact dep, not this change).
- HARD GATE 48/48 · migration 21/21 · parity 3/3 · manifest 18/18 · file-adapter 8/8.

### PR opened + reported (2026-07-16)
- **PR #802** http://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/pulls/802 — base `main`@`9745bc3f`,
  head `34e55d4a` (commit `feat(mosaic): manifest-owned upgrade guard…`). 15 files, +1160/-142.
- Reported PR head + red→green evidence to MS-LEAD (web1:mosaic-100); queued (lead busy).
  Standing by for the independent-review commission at head `34e55d4a`.
- **TWO items flagged to MS-LEAD for decision (awaiting reply):**
  1. Deviation `.txt` vs `.json` — confirm accept (parity-tested) or convert to `.json`+jq.
  2. `pr-create -i 791` appended `Fixes #791` → would auto-close the tracking issue on PR1 merge
     while PR2/PR3 remain. Recommended edit to `Part of #791`; awaiting go-ahead to patch PR body.
- DO NOT start PR2/PR3 until PR1 merges (DAG; one PR at a time).

### MS-LEAD ruling → #797 ledger-survival sentinel folded into PR1 (2026-07-16)
MS-LEAD ruled both my decisions: (1) `.txt` format ACCEPTED (parity must be strict/merge-blocking incl.
format edge cases + negative probe); (2) trailer `Fixes #791`→`Part of #791` APPROVED (patched PR #802
body via Gitea API — tracking issue no longer auto-closes on PR1 merge). Plus Mos-ELEVATED merge-blocker
(spec `~/agent-work/planning/epic-796/791-ledger-survival-sentinel-SPEC.md`): #797 Runtime Session Ledger
must survive upgrade. Two coupled deliverables landed in PR1:
- (i) Carve-out: `fleet/run/**` was ALREADY an explicit `[operator]` entry — glob matches the spec's
  pinned `fleet/run/**` EXACTLY, so NO divergence to route back to planner-opus. Strengthened its comment
  to name the ledger (`fleet/run/sessions/` events.ndjson + ledger.json) so it is unmistakably load-bearing.
- (ii) HARD-GATE sentinel: seeded populated ledger (events.ndjson 3 events + ledger.json node+edge+gen,
  0600 under 0700) into test-upgrade-manifest-guard.sh sentinels; asserts byte-identical + mtime-unchanged
  + dir-perms unchanged. Negative control (retired framework file IS pruned) relabeled explicitly.
  HARD GATE now 58/58 (was 48).
- Decision-1 parity hardening: format-edge fixtures (comments/blanks/whitespace, duplicate+overlapping
  globs deny-wins, section/glob-ordering independence) + explicit UNKNOWN→operator negative probe, driven
  through BOTH resolvers via MANIFEST_FILE override. Parity 7/7 (was 3).
- RED-FIRST honesty note: the bash ledger sentinel stays GREEN even against the pre-fix installer (the
  ledger was incidentally safe from the rsync --delete bug; overall pre-fix run 30/58 as expected). The
  carve-out's TRUE load-bearing value (deny-wins if framework ownership ever broadens to `fleet/**`) is
  isolated by a dedicated resolver-seam red→green in manifest.spec.ts: WITHOUT `fleet/run/**` operator
  entry + hypothetical `fleet/**` framework → ledger resolves framework and planPrune DELETES it (RED);
  WITH the carve-out → deny-wins → operator, unprunable (GREEN). manifest.spec.ts 21/21 (was 18).
- Gates all green: typecheck ✓ lint ✓ format:check ✓ · full mosaic vitest 1069 passed · HARD GATE 58/58
  · migration 21/21. Committing FORWARD on the branch (NOT rebasing 34e55d4a out from under review).

### MS-LEAD REQUEST CHANGES @ 0a5e703a → B1/B2/B3 fixed red-first (2026-07-16)
MS-LEAD returned REQUEST CHANGES (routed merge-blockers satisfied; 2 CRITICAL reliability defects from
the commissioned independent review). Fixed forward on the branch, red-first:
- **B1 (CRITICAL) — dead ERR trap.** install.sh had `set -euo pipefail` (no `-E`), so the
  `trap restore_snapshot ERR` never fired for a failure inside sync_framework_keep() (function body) —
  a mid-sync abort left a half-written target with NO rollback. Fix: `set -Eeuo pipefail` (errtrace) +
  disarm the trap at the top of restore_snapshot() to prevent re-entrancy. New gate
  `test-upgrade-rollback.sh`: injects a mid-sync `cp` EACCES (read-only divergent framework file);
  Part A asserts the shipped installer rolls back (restore message fires AND target byte-identical to
  pre-upgrade); Part B control strips `-E` and asserts the rollback message does NOT fire (dead trap) —
  self-verifying red→green. 7/7.
- **B2/B3 (CRITICAL) — empty/unreadable/malformed manifest divergence.** Pre-fix: TS `parseManifest('')`
  returned `{framework:[],operator:[]}` (NO throw) → silent no-op "Installation complete"; bash aborted
  fragilely (the `_manifest_compile` `"${MANIFEST_OPERATOR[@]:-}"` artifact returned 1 with no message)
  AND the CLI dispatch swallowed manifest_load's rc (no `|| exit`) so `resolve` exited 0 resolving
  everything operator. Fix (fail-loud + identical both langs):
  * TS `parseManifest`: throw on zero framework entries; `loadManifest`: wrap read error →
    "Cannot read framework manifest …".
  * bash `manifest_load`: explicit unreadable guard (`[[ ! -r ]]`) + zero-`[framework]` guard, both loud
    stderr + return 1; `_manifest_compile` gets explicit `return 0` (kills the empty-array artifact);
    CLI dispatch `manifest_load … || exit 1`.
  * `finalize.ts`: wrap syncFramework → `spin.stop('Framework sync aborted …')` + rethrow (never falls
    through to "Installation complete").
  Tests: manifest.spec.ts +5 fail-closed (empty/comment-only/operator-only/empty-section/missing);
  manifest-parity.spec.ts +7 failure-mode parity (both reject empty/comment-only/operator-only/
  empty-section/entry-before-header/unknown-header/missing — TS throws, bash CLI exits non-zero+stderr);
  HARD GATE +4 end-to-end fail-closed matrices (empty/operator-only/malformed/missing → abort non-zero,
  manifest error surfaced, every operator sentinel byte-identical). RED proven by reverting
  manifest.ts+manifest.sh to HEAD → 12 new tests fail; restore → 40/40 green.
- **Non-blocking addressed.** MEDIUM install.sh:222 find-empty now warns on a real failure instead of
  blanket `|| true`. LOW: corrected the "both destructive paths rsync vs cp" overstatement in the HARD
  GATE header + cp-fallback comment + ci.yml (keep mode is a single cp-based path; the rsync-present vs
  -absent runs prove rsync-independence). `.pre-constitution.bak` triage: single-shot backup is
  intentional (reconcile_framework_files backs up once), no change.
- Gates: typecheck ✓ lint ✓ format:check ✓ · full mosaic vitest 1081 passed (was 1069, +12) · HARD GATE
  118/118 (was 58) · rollback 7/7 (new) · migration 21/21. No --no-verify. Rollback test wired into
  ci.yml upgrade-guard. Committing FORWARD (no rebase of 34e55d4a/0a5e703a).

### Codex round 2 (pre-push self-review) → blockers A/B + should-fix C fixed red-first (2026-07-16)
Before committing round 1 I re-ran codex on the change set; it surfaced two fresh reliability defects
and one messaging defect on the SAME rollback/manifest path. Fixed forward, red-first:
- **Blocker-A (CRITICAL) — signal trap resumed instead of terminating.** A bash INT/TERM handler that
  merely `restore_snapshot` (returns) does NOT terminate the script — execution RESUMES past the
  interrupt, cleans the snapshot and reports success, leaving a partial post-interrupt update. Fix:
  `trap 'restore_snapshot; exit 1' ERR INT TERM` so both the errtrace (ERR) and signal (INT/TERM) paths
  exit non-zero. Rollback test Part C: a `cp` shim that `kill -TERM $PPID` mid-sync then succeeds (so
  set -e never fires and only the signal path governs) → asserts abort non-zero + restore fires + does
  NOT print "file phase complete"; control strips `exit 1` and asserts the buggy resume-to-success.
- **Blocker-B (CRITICAL) — degenerate `[framework]` section resolved everything operator.** A manifest
  whose framework entries are all empty / bare-dot (`/`, `./`, `.`, `..`) passed the non-empty guard yet
  yielded zero usable globs → nothing is framework → a keep-mode sync silently no-ops (bash resolved
  `operator`, exit 0). Fix (both langs, parity): reject when no entry has a char other than `/`/`.` —
  TS `isUsableFrameworkGlob` = `/[^/.]/.test(normalizeRel(glob))`, throws `ManifestError`; bash mirror
  loops `[[ "$(_manifest_norm "$_g")" =~ [^/.] ]]`, loud stderr + return 1. Tests: manifest.spec.ts
  `it.each(['/','./','.','..','/\n./'])` throw; parity +3 `expectBothReject` (root-slash/dot-slash/
  bare-dot). RED: reverting the guard makes `[framework]\n/` resolve `operator` exit 0.
- **Should-fix-C — misleading abort message.** finalize.ts printed one generic "may be partially
  applied" for every sync failure. A `ManifestError` is a PRE-sync validation abort (manifest is
  validated before any copy) → nothing was written; conflating it with a mid-copy failure misdirects
  recovery. Fix: introduce `ManifestError` (exported from manifest.ts, thrown by every fail-closed
  parse/load path), and classify in finalize.ts — ManifestError → "no files were changed"; any other →
  "may be partially applied". New co-located `finalize-sync-abort.spec.ts` (3 tests) asserts both
  branches re-throw the original error + the correct message, and that config writes are never reached.
  RED proven by collapsing the classification → the ManifestError test fails.
- Gates: typecheck ✓ lint ✓ format:check ✓ · full mosaic vitest 1094 (was 1081, +3 finalize-abort;
  manifest specs already counted) · HARD GATE 193/193 · rollback 14/14 · migration 21/21.

### Codex round 3 (pre-push self-review) → blockers D1/D2 fixed red-first (2026-07-16)
Re-ran codex again; it found two more rollback-path gaps `set -E` cannot catch. Fixed forward, red-first:
- **Blocker-D1 (CRITICAL) — `find` scan failures swallowed by process substitution.** Both the overlay
  copy and the scoped prune consumed `< <(find … -print0)`. Bash does NOT propagate the producer's exit
  status to the `while`, so an EACCES/I/O failure mid-scan truncates the file list yet leaves the loop
  exiting 0 → a partial upgrade commits and reports success; the ERR/restore trap never fires. Fix:
  `_scan_or_die` runs `find … -print0 > "$tmp"` to completion, checks its status, and returns non-zero
  (→ ERR trap → restore) on failure; both loops now read from the checked temp file. Rollback test
  Part D: a `find` shim that fails every `-print0` scan → shipped installer aborts non-zero + restores +
  emits "Could not enumerate framework files" + target byte-identical; control neuters the `# D1-GUARD`
  `return 1` → find failure swallowed, upgrade wrongly reports "file phase complete", no rollback.
- **Blocker-D2 (CRITICAL) — silent `set -e` exit on a failed target reset.** restore_snapshot did a bare
  `rm -rf "$TARGET_DIR"; mkdir -p "$TARGET_DIR"` (trap disarmed, under set -e). If `rm`/`mkdir` fails —
  possibly after `rm` deleted part of the target — the script exits immediately, skipping the cp AND the
  recovery pointer, leaving a half-removed target and an orphaned snapshot the operator can't locate.
  Fix: `if ! rm -rf … || ! mkdir -p …; then fail "Snapshot restore could not reset … preserved at:
  $SNAPSHOT_DIR — copy it back …"; return 1; fi` (tested like the cp -a check; snapshot NOT deleted).
  Rollback test Part E: cp-poison triggers restore + an `rm` shim fails `rm -rf <TARGET>` → shipped
  emits the recovery pointer, the named snapshot dir survives, secret value never leaked; control deletes
  the recovery line → operator gets no pointer. RED: reverting D1+D2 → 7 shipped/control assertions fail.
- Gates: typecheck ✓ lint ✓ format:check ✓ · full mosaic vitest 1094 · HARD GATE 193/193 ·
  rollback 28/28 (was 14, +14 for D1/D2 with controls) · migration 21/21. shellcheck clean on new lines.
  No --no-verify. Committing FORWARD (no rebase of 34e55d4a/0a5e703a).

## Session 3 (2026-07-16) — PR1 MERGED, starting PR2 (durable snapshot + restore + secrev)
PR1 (#802) squash-merged → main `32a0ffba`; issue #791 stays open (3-PR DAG umbrella). Independent Opus
adversarial/security review APPROVED at head `af627e75` (Gitea RoR cmt 17892); lead ran rollback 28/28 +
HARD GATE 193/193 green; CI #1877 green. PR2 UNBLOCKED.

PR2 branch: `feat/791-pr2-snapshot-restore` off `origin/main` 32a0ffba. Same treatment applies:
tests-first red-first, independent review + durable Gitea Reviewer-of-Record comment BEFORE MS-LEAD runs
the queue guard/merge. Report PR2 number + exact head when ready. PR body: `Part of #791` (NOT Fixes).

### PR2 scope (ratified §3/§5 of design doc, Mos-approved — do NOT re-litigate)
- **(a) Durable pre-update snapshot** to `${XDG_STATE_HOME:-~/.local/state}/mosaic/backups/pre-update-<UTC-ts>/`
  — OUTSIDE ~/.config/mosaic and any repo. Perms dir 0700 / files 0600 (umask 077 + explicit chmod).
  Scope = operator-owned surface that EXISTS (operatorReserved paths), not the framework tree. Taken
  BEFORE any mutation. Retention N=5 (`MOSAIC_BACKUP_RETENTION`), prune older.
- **Post-sync verify + selective restore**: diff operator surface vs snapshot; (b) should never touch
  operator paths, so ANY diff = manifest bug → restore affected paths + warn loudly. (a) catches a (b) miss.
- **`mosaic restore`** (TS CLI): `--list` (default, dry-run) enumerates snapshots by ts; `--from <ts>`
  restores over operator surface, confirmation-gated. Counts/paths only.
- **Secret-safety (secrev)**: snapshot/restore NEVER emit file contents; only paths/counts. Tests assert
  0700/0600 AND that a secret value seeded in tools/_lib/credentials.json never appears in any output.

### PR2 implementation status (2026-07-16, ready-for-review)
All three tasks implemented, red-first proven, unit-green:
- **Task #10 — durable snapshot (install.sh)**: `backup_root()`/`enumerate_operator_files()`/
  `prune_durable_snapshots()`/`make_durable_snapshot()` wired into keep-mode main() after `manifest_load`,
  before any mutation. umask 077 + explicit chmod 700/600. UTC ts, collision suffix. FAIL-OPEN (a backup
  failure never aborts the upgrade it protects). Retention `MOSAIC_BACKUP_RETENTION` (default 5), in-place
  `sort -r -o` prune (no `mv` — stays inside the rsync-absent coreutils whitelist).
- **Task #11 — post-sync verify net (install.sh)**: `verify_operator_surface()` runs after sync (trap
  disarmed), `cmp -s` each snapshot file vs target; restores any diverged/missing operator file + warns
  loudly (a divergence = manifest bug). VERIFY-NET wired before `cleanup_snapshot`.
- **Task #12 — `mosaic restore` (TS)**: `src/commands/restore.ts` + co-located spec (19 tests).
  `--list` default (dry-run enumerate), `--from <ts>` confirmation-gated restore, `--dry-run`, `--yes`/
  `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES`. Injectable `confirm` for testability (proceed/decline/env-bypass covered). Restored
  files forced 0600. Registered in `cli.ts`. Path convention mirrors install.sh `backup_root()`.
- **CI**: `.woodpecker/ci.yml` upgrade-guard runs the new `test-upgrade-durable-snapshot.sh` gate.
- **Gates green**: typecheck ✓ lint ✓ format:check ✓ · full mosaic vitest 1241 (+5) ·
  durable-snapshot 26/26 · manifest-guard 193/193 · rollback 28/28 · migration 21/21.
  Est. new-code coverage ≈93% (only the interactive readline default + process.exit-on-error uncovered).
- Regression fixed: PR2's `date`/`sort`/`mv` broke the rsync-absent manifest-guard PATH whitelist →
  made date/sort fail-open, replaced `mv` with in-place `sort -o`, added `date sort` to the test whitelist
  + isolated `XDG_STATE_HOME`. All 193 manifest-guard assertions green under restricted PATH.
- Codex code-review + security-review (secrev) run on the uncommitted diff before commit.

### PR2 review round 1 — findings + remediations (2026-07-16, pre-PR)
Codex code-review returned **request-changes** (1 blocker + 3 should-fix); Codex security-review returned
**high** (1 high + 1 medium). Deduped to 5 distinct defects, ALL legitimate, ALL fixed FORWARD, each with
a red-first regression test whose control neuters exactly the guard under test:

- **A · BLOCKER — verify net undid the legacy bin/ migration (install.sh).** On a pre-v2 install `bin/**`
  is operator-classified, so the durable snapshot captured it; `run_migrations()` deletes bin/ on purpose,
  but `verify_operator_surface()` then saw it "missing" and healed it back — the migration would be silently
  undone forever once the version stamps. **Fix:** `MIGRATION_REMOVED_PATHS[]` recorded by run_migrations
  (`bin`,`rails`) + `is_migration_removed()` skip in the verify loop (`# MIGRATION-SKIP-GUARD`).
  **Test:** Part 6 — v1 fixture with bin/; shipped keeps it removed + stamps v3; control (guard stripped)
  wrongly restores bin/tool.sh.
- **B · HIGH (CWE-59) — restore/verify wrote secrets THROUGH a symlink (install.sh + restore.ts).** An
  attacker swapping an operator path (e.g. tools/_lib/credentials.json) for a symlink after the snapshot
  would make `cp`/`copyFileSync` write the snapshot's secret out through the link. **Fix (bash):** refuse a
  symlinked ancestor (`has_symlinked_parent`), drop a symlinked leaf before restore
  (`# SYMLINK-LEAF-GUARD`). **Fix (TS):** reuse audited `secure-file.ts` — `assertCanonicalContainment`
  + `ensureManagedDirectory` on every dst, open the leaf `O_NOFOLLOW|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC` 0600 (ELOOP =
  fail-closed). **Tests:** Part 7 (shipped leaves external exfil target untouched, restores a real 0600
  file; control leaks the secret through the link) + restore.spec symlinked-leaf/ancestor cases (red-first).
- **C · MEDIUM/should-fix (CWE-22) — `--from` traversal escaped the backup root (restore.ts).**
  `join(root, from)` accepted `../poison`. **Fix:** validate the selector against
  `^\d{8}T\d{6}Z(?:-\d+)?$`, build exactly `join(root,'pre-update-'+ts)`, `lstat` (reject symlinked snap
  dir). **Test:** restore.spec `it.each` of 6 malformed selectors + `--from ../poison` fail-closed (red-first).
- **D · should-fix — verify `mkdir -p` unguarded under set -e (install.sh).** A parent replaced by a
  regular file aborted the installer before the recovery pointer printed. **Fix:** guard `mkdir -p`, warn
  + `continue` on failure (keeps healing remaining files).
- **E · should-fix — snapshot `umask 077` leaked process-global (install.sh).** Later sync copies/dirs
  inherited 0600/0700. **Fix:** save `old_umask`, restore on EVERY return path (`# UMASK-RESTORE-NORMAL`).
  **Test:** Part 8 — synced framework file is 0644 while the secret backup stays 0600; control (restore
  stripped) makes the synced file 0600.

**Full gate suite re-run after fixes (all green):** typecheck ✓ · lint ✓ · format:check ✓ · full mosaic
vitest **1252** · restore.spec **30** · durable-snapshot **41** · manifest-guard 193 · rollback 28 ·
migration 21. shellcheck clean on all new lines; new test markers mirror the existing `# VERIFY-NET`
anchor convention. NOTE: codex self-review does NOT satisfy the independent-review gate — an independent
(author≠reviewer) review + durable Gitea Reviewer-of-Record comment is still required before MS-LEAD merges.
