Issue

A failed integration install or uninstall can erase unrelated agent preferences.

Problem

Direct writes truncate configs before completion. Windows file replacement can also change inherited permissions.

How did we fix it?

Linux/macOS configs and new Windows files use staged replacement. Existing Windows configs get a synced private backup before updating in place, preserving permissions.

Windows recovery is manual, not atomic: retained backups block retries. Hard-linked configs and existing EFS-encrypted Windows configs are rejected. There is no automatic rollback.

Tests and test-only helpers 954 0

Diff lines include comments/blanks and inline tests. 58% of additions are tests/docs, not implementation.

Verification

The real OpenCode failure erased preferences before; the Unix regression now preserves them. Nine native Windows backend tests cover failures, interruption, permissions, encryption and recovery.

Final native CI passed: Linux 3,401 tests, macOS 3,206, Windows 2,944. Local just check, Windows all-target cross-Clippy and CLI smoke passed. CodeRabbit and Greptile completed review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds protected configuration writes across integrations. It validates symlinks, hard links, and write targets, stages Unix replacements while preserving metadata, and adds Windows in-place updates with recovery backups. Integration installers and uninstallers use the shared writer. Tests cover platform metadata, interrupted writes, recovery ordering, security descriptors, and integration protection. Documentation describes platform behavior and Windows recovery.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2d567

The Windows recovery instructions cannot restore a missing configuration until the script uses a create-capable file mode. This is a localized documentation fix.

The latest head appears safe to merge; no actionable new failure remains in the Windows backup-first implementation.

Summary

  • Linux and macOS stage, sync, and atomically replace configuration files.
  • Existing Windows configurations use a private, synchronized recovery backup before an in-place update, preserving identity and access rules.
  • Shared integration paths now reject hard-linked configurations and preserve symlink targets.
  • Tests cover partial writes, backup recovery, Windows ACL and identity preservation, interruption boundaries, and encrypted files.
  • Documentation explains per-file guarantees, Windows recovery, and the exclusions for concurrency and power-loss durability.

Ready for Can’s review at 2d567b9. All Linux/macOS/Windows checks and both bot reviews are complete.

Decision: accept recoverable writes, rather than atomic replacement, for existing Windows configs. Herdr syncs a private backup before updating the same file in place. This keeps ownership, access rules and alternate streams unchanged. A failed/interrupted update can still damage the active config; the retained backup enables manual recovery and blocks retries until resolved. No automatic rollback.

Linux/macOS and new files retain staged replacement. Hard-linked configs are rejected; existing EFS-encrypted Windows configs are refused unchanged. Protection is per config, not a whole-install transaction or power-loss guarantee.

The simpler Windows replacement candidate was rejected after native testing added Guests access to a moved file. The adopted backup path passed nine native backend tests, including actual I/O failures, interruption, permissions and encryption, plus final integration-routing CI (2,944 Windows tests).

Review requests for whole-install transactions and power-loss durability were rebutted and withdrawn. The recovery example deliberately opens only an existing file: creating one with default permissions before restoring secrets would undermine the permission guarantee. Native-validation requests are satisfied. No merge or auto-merge has been requested.

@akbash-bot I reviewed commit 2d567b9f.

I found no new correctness issues in the Windows backup-first path.

The implementation creates and syncs a private backup before it truncates an existing config. It retains recovery backups after failed writes. It blocks retries when a completed or pending backup exists. The integration preflight also detects retained backups before hook assets change.

The native tests cover permission preservation, file identity preservation, write failures, interruptions, backup retention, cleanup failures, and EFS rejection. The documentation describes the non-atomic recovery tradeoff correctly.

I also considered the established scope: protection is per config file. It does not provide installation-wide rollback or concurrency control.

Native Windows execution was not available in this review sandbox.

Learning: In `src/integration/targets.rs`, `reject_hard_linked_configs` provides per-configuration-file protection before integration asset changes, and `Replacement::commit` rechecks the same file before publication. Herdr does not guarantee transactional rollback across configuration files and integration assets, or protection against concurrent mutations.
