The largest concern is unsafe temporary file path generation in cspice_runner.c: predictable names in /tmp plus non-atomic counters create a real risk of symlink/race attacks and flaky behavior under concurrency. The new tag sanitizer should ensure required headers and consider ASCII-only checks to avoid locale edge cases. Finally, if rm is being introduced for cleanup, it needs strict scoping to prevent deleting unintended paths when file-io tests create temp artifacts.

Additional notes (2)
  • Maintainability | packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c:1257-1300
    sanitize_file_io_temp_tag limits output to w < 64, but the function signature also takes outBytes and the caller uses an 80-byte buffer. This mixed constraint (buffer size and hard max 64) is fine, but it’s a “magic number” that will be easy to forget when reusing this helper.

Also, the logic checks both w + 1 < outBytes and w < 64 multiple times; consolidating the max writable length into a single computed limit would reduce duplication and the chance of inconsistencies during future edits.

  • Maintainability | packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c:1346-1371
    write_found_dla_descriptor_json manually constructs JSON by printing fields. This is brittle if any field set changes or if future outputs add strings requiring escaping. It also mixes formatting concerns with business logic.

If this JSON format is part of a stable interface consumed by TS code, consider centralizing JSON emission patterns (even if still manual) to reduce the chance of subtle output mismatches across different result types.

Summary of changes

What changed

  • Expanded parity coverage for file I/O core methods by adding new method specs under packages/parity-checking/specs/methods/file-io/*@v2.yml (e.g., daf*, das*, dla*, exists, getfat) that run via invokeLegacyCall.
  • Removed file-io core methods from the parity denylist in both parity-denylist.json and parity-denylist.ts (e.g., file-io.dafbfs, file-io.exists, file-io.getfat).
  • Updated completeness/coverage baselines and tests to reflect the added coverage (coveredCount/methodCount raised to 106, denylist reduced to 67).
  • Introduced native helper utilities in native/src/cspice_runner.c for:
    • sanitizing a tag used in temp file names (sanitize_file_io_temp_tag),
    • building a temp .dla path (build_file_io_temp_path),
    • emitting JSON for found DLA descriptors (write_found_dla_descriptor_json).
  • Runner changes: tspiceRunner.ts now imports rm from node:fs/promises (presumably for temp cleanup).
  • Added a legacy workflow stub: workflows/legacy/file-io.basic@v1.yml.

@CharlieHelps I need your help preparing this PR to merge. You should read the diff, related issues/docs, and PR reviews closely and then ensure ALL of the following is true:

  • All checks are passing
  • The branch is up to date with the HEAD of the base branch
  • There are no merge conflicts
  • All PR review feedback has been addressed:
    • Fixes have been pushed for feedback that needs to be addressed before merging (blocking feedback)
    • All non-blocking feedback that hasn't been addressed has been acknowledged with a comment explaining why it's not considered blocking
    • All addressed feedback comments have been marked as resolved

It's your job to push commits to the PR to complete all of these tasks. You MUST wait to confirm that ALL of the above is true before stopping. I expect to be able to merge the PR after you are done.

Thanks for the maintainability notes in the review summary (the sanitize_file_io_temp_tag limit/magic-number handling and the manual JSON emission in write_found_dla_descriptor_json).

I agree both are worth cleaning up, but I’m deferring them for a follow-up so this PR stays scoped to the file-io parity coverage expansion and the blocking temp-path security fix.

I’ve addressed the blocking temp-path issue and the smaller cleanup items in this round; the maintainability refinements are non-blocking for this PR.

@CharlieHelps please review all relevant issue and PR context, then conduct a thorough code review.

What “good” looks like

  • Blocking vs non-blocking are clearly separated: “Blocking feedback” items are required for merge; everything else is “Non-blocking feedback”.
  • Review feedback is durable: leave a GitHub Review (not a chat-only summary).
  • Ownership + follow-through: if you request changes, track the re-review and resolve threads when addressed.
  • Scope control: don’t expand requirements; propose follow-ups for larger work.

Workflow

  1. Orient + sanity check

    • Read the PR title/body and any linked Linear issue.
    • Read all comments and past PR reviews (including review comments) on the PR.
    • Check ownership expectations via CODEOWNERS (don’t override owners; align with them).

Blocking feedback

  1. build_file_io_temp_path in native/src/cspice_runner.c still appears to construct predictable temp paths in a shared directory using pid + a static counter, which is vulnerable to race/symlink attacks and is not concurrency-safe.
**Non-blocking feedback**
  1. sanitize_file_io_temp_tag uses locale-dependent isalnum; consider ASCII-only checks for deterministic, portable sanitation.
  2. write_found_dla_descriptor_json manually constructs JSON; consider consolidating/centralizing emission to reduce brittleness.
  3. tspiceRunner.ts imports rm; if unused it should be removed, and if used later it needs strict path scoping.
Additional notes (1)
  • Maintainability | packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c:1346-1371
    write_found_dla_descriptor_json manually emits JSON via a series of fputs/fprintf. This is brittle to evolve and easy to accidentally break (missing commas/braces, changing fields, etc.). Even with only numbers today, it creates a pattern that’s hard to maintain as soon as strings or optional fields are added.

At minimum, centralizing JSON emission for runner results would reduce drift across result types.

Summary of changes

Summary of changes

  • Expanded parity coverage for file I/O core by adding new method specs under packages/parity-checking/specs/methods/file-io/*@v2.yml (DAF/DAS/DLA + exists/getfat) using the invokeLegacyCall workflow step.
  • Reduced the parity denylist by removing file-io core entries from:
    • packages/parity-checking/catalogs/parity-denylist.json

    • sanitize_file_io_temp_tag to sanitize tags used in temp paths
    • build_file_io_temp_path to construct a temp .dla path
    • write_found_dla_descriptor_json to emit a JSON response for “found DLA descriptor” results
  • Introduced a legacy workflow stub: packages/parity-checking/workflows/legacy/file-io.basic@v1.yml.

@rybosome I’ve finished preparing this PR for merge.

  • All checks are passing on 51af5b8ac485201287923d69da3533a3091e53ec.
  • Branch is up to date with main (behindBy=0) and has no merge conflicts (mergeable=MERGEABLE).
  • Blocking feedback addressed in 51af5b8ac485201287923d69da3533a3091e53ec:
    • build_file_io_temp_path now uses secure atomic temp-file creation with mkstemps(...-XXXXXX.dla) instead of predictable pid + counter naming.
    • Removed the static counter path-generation pattern.
  • Additional cleanup addressed: removed unused rm import in packages/parity-checking/src/runners/tspiceRunner.ts.
  • Review thread resolution state: unresolved review threads are 0.

Acknowledged non-blocking feedback (intentionally not required to merge this PR):

  1. sanitize_file_io_temp_tag locale-dependent isalnum behavior: this is a portability hardening improvement, but not a blocker for the file-I/O parity scope delivered here.
  2. Centralizing JSON emission for write_found_dla_descriptor_json: good maintainability follow-up, but current numeric-only output for this PR scope is stable and not merge-blocking.

Only remaining GitHub policy gate shown on the PR is REVIEW_REQUIRED (repo ruleset requires one non-author approval on main).

The parity coverage expansion looks consistent, but the native temp-file helper still has a security/correctness gap: it creates a secure temp file with mkstemps and then closes it, returning only the path, which can lead to a TOCTOU race if the file is reopened later. There are also maintainability concerns around duplicated bounds logic in sanitize_file_io_temp_tag and brittle manual JSON construction in write_found_dla_descriptor_json. Baseline/count updates and denylist reductions appear mechanically aligned with the new specs.

Additional notes (2)
  • Maintainability | packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c:1257-1300
    sanitize_file_io_temp_tag has duplicated length guards (w + 1 < outBytes and w < 64) in multiple places. This increases the chance of future edits drifting (e.g., changing safeTag size but forgetting the internal 64 cap), and makes the function harder to reason about.

Also, the hard cap of 64 is a hidden constraint relative to the outBytes parameter.

  • Maintainability | packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c:1365-1390
    write_found_dla_descriptor_json manually emits JSON via a sequence of fputs/fprintf. This is brittle to evolve (easy to break commas/braces) and tends to get copy/pasted for other result types.

Even if the payload is numeric-only today, this pattern becomes risky once strings (escaping) or optional fields show up.

Summary of changes

  • Expanded file I/O core parity coverage by adding new @v2 method specs under packages/parity-checking/specs/methods/file-io/ for:
    • DAF: dafbfs, dafcls, daffna, dafopr
    • DAS: dascls, dasopr
    • DLA: dlabfs, dlacls, dlafns, dlaopn

Follow-up on review #503 (review): I’m explicitly acknowledging the two maintainability items that remain open and deferring them as non-blocking for this PR.

  1. sanitize_file_io_temp_tag duplicated bounds/cap logic (outBytes checks + internal 64 cap): agreed this should be consolidated so there is a single source of truth for limits.
  2. write_found_dla_descriptor_json manual fputs/fprintf JSON assembly: agreed this is brittle and should be refactored to a safer/clearer JSON emission helper.

I’m deferring both in this PR to keep scope tight around the blocking file-io temp-file safety fix and coverage landing, and to avoid mixing larger maintainability refactors into this already-reviewed patch. They are important, but non-blocking for correctness/security of the fix being merged here.

Blocking feedback

  1. No blocking issues identified for merge in the current diff after reviewing the PR/issue context, prior review history, and current CI/check signals.
**Non-blocking feedback**
  1. packages/parity-checking/native/src/cspice_runner.c adds build_file_io_temp_path and write_found_dla_descriptor_json, but both helpers are currently unused. This increases maintenance surface and can drift from real behavior; either remove them until needed, or wire them into active file-I/O call paths with a focused test.
  2. packages/parity-checking/src/runners/tspiceRunner.ts now emits generic "Unsupported call" messages. That lowers triage clarity when dispatch coverage regresses; keep parity-stable message matching, but attach call identity in structured metadata (for example error.details.call) that parity comparison ignores.
  3. The new file-I/O method specs are mostly parity assertions for unsupported_call while completeness baselines increase. That can be interpreted as functional method support; consider adding an explicit “unsupported-by-spec” reporting bucket/annotation so capability coverage and parity-coverage are not conflated.
  4. packages/parity-checking/workflows/legacy/file-io.basic@v1.yml appears to be a stub and currently unreferenced. Unwired workflow artifacts can mislead future contributors; either remove it for now or connect it to an active workflow consumer with executable steps.

@rybosome Implemented all requested non-blocking follow-ups from your comment (2–5) in 2df2704.

  • Track A: WASM-first backend + minimal native smoke lane #2 (unused helpers): wired the previously-unused native file-I/O helpers into active call paths by implementing native file-I/O handlers/dispatch for exists, getfat, daf*, das*, and dla* calls.
  • Track B: TypeScript API + abstractions (ergonomic core) #3 (unsupported-call triage metadata): kept the parity-stable message ("Unsupported call"), added structured call identity metadata (error.details.call), and updated parity comparison to ignore error.details so metadata doesn’t create false mismatches.
  • A0 — Basic repo/monorepo setup #4 (spec coverage quality): expanded all packages/parity-checking/specs/methods/file-io/*.yml specs to include more comprehensive actual behavior parity cases (success + edge/error), replacing mostly unsupported-only assertions.
  • A1 — Node (N-API) backend: smoke call #5 (legacy stub workflow): removed packages/parity-checking/workflows/legacy/file-io.basic@v1.yml since it was unwired/inert.

Validation run in-devbox passed for targeted checks/typecheck/tests. Full native parity execution is still environment-limited on linux-arm64 (cspice-runner unavailable here), so final native parity confirmation will come from CI.

Blocking feedback

  1. None.
**Non-blocking feedback**
  1. packages/parity-checking/src/runners/tspiceRunner.ts file-io.dlaopn creates temporary .dla paths but does not remove them after closing the handle. Why it matters: repeated parity runs can leak tspice-parity-*.dla temp artifacts and introduce avoidable host-state drift. Smallest fix: after backend.dlacls(handle), add best-effort temp-path cleanup (node filesystem delete + wasm virtual-file delete when applicable).
  2. resolveFileIoPathForBackend stages WASM file-io paths using backend.furnsh({ path, bytes }). Why it matters: this couples file-io.exists/getfat path staging to kernel-loading behavior, so existing non-kernel files can fail instead of behaving like plain file checks. Smallest fix: stage bytes into WASM FS without calling furnsh, and reserve furnsh for true kernel-loading flows.

Completed the review pass and posted a structured GitHub Review here:
#503 (review)

Summary: no blocking feedback; 2 non-blocking follow-ups. I used a comment-only review (no approval) because this account authored the PR.

@CharlieHelps Please address both of these non blocking items

Implemented — both non-blocking items are now addressed in fd74869d6acb05b76e9682eb5da39ea64fd4ebd0.

  • file-io.dlaopn now does best-effort temp .dla cleanup right after dlacls(handle):
    • Node FS cleanup via rm(..., { force: true })
    • WASM virtual-file cleanup via backend hook
    • cleanup failures are intentionally non-fatal and do not mask close errors
  • resolveFileIoPathForBackend no longer stages file-io WASM paths via furnsh.
    • file-io staging now writes bytes directly into WASM virtual FS
    • furnsh remains reserved for actual kernel-loading flows
  • Added focused coverage in packages/parity-checking/test/unit/tspiceRunner.fileIo.cleanup-and-staging.test.ts.

Validation run:

  • pnpm --filter @rybosome/tspice-parity-checking test -- test/unit/tspiceRunner.fileIo.cleanup-and-staging.test.ts
  • pnpm -w turbo run typecheck --filter=@rybosome/tspice-backend-wasm --filter=@rybosome/tspice-parity-checking

@CharlieHelps please review all relevant issue and PR context, then conduct a thorough code review.

What “good” looks like

  • Blocking vs non-blocking are clearly separated: “Blocking feedback” items are required for merge; everything else is “Non-blocking feedback”.
  • Review feedback is durable: leave a GitHub Review (not a chat-only summary).
  • Ownership + follow-through: if you request changes, track the re-review and resolve threads when addressed.
  • Scope control: don’t expand requirements; propose follow-ups for larger work.

Workflow

  1. Orient + sanity check

    • Read the PR title/body and any linked Linear issue.
    • Read all comments and past PR reviews (including review comments) on the PR.
    • Check ownership expectations via CODEOWNERS (don’t override owners; align with them).
    • If the PR is huge/messy, consider recommending a clean replacement PR (don’t bikeshed the current diff).
  2. Review the diff with repo guardrails in mind

    • Validate correctness, types, tests, and operational risk.
    • Use the repo’s canonical coding guardrails (especially around TypeScript safety).
  3. Leave one structured GitHub Review

Use this exact structure in the review summary:

Blocking feedback

**Non-blocking feedback**

Rules:

  • Use numbered lists.
  • Do not restart numbering for non-blocking feedback; continue from the Blocking feedback section.
  • Each item should be:
    • a short, clear claim (what’s wrong / what to change),
    • why it matters (correctness, safety, maintainability, performance, etc),
    • the smallest reasonable fix (or a concrete suggestion).
  1. Approve / request changes
  • If there are no Blocking feedback items and you are not the PR author, Approve.
  • If there are Blocking feedback items, Request changes.
  • If you are the author, do not approve your own PR; leave a comment/review without approval.
  1. Follow-through after updates
  • When Blocking feedback items are addressed:
    • Resolve the corresponding GitHub review threads, and
    • leave a short note like: “Resolved in <commit-sha>.”
  • If you previously requested changes, convert to Approve once Blocking feedback items are resolved.

Blocking feedback

  1. No blocking changes requested. I reviewed the PR/issue/review context, inspected the diff for correctness/type-safety/parity risk, and spot-validated targeted typecheck/tests for touched packages; I did not find regressions that should block merge.
**Non-blocking feedback**
  1. The PR body’s manual branch metadata appears stale (Base: does not match the current PR base). This can confuse later reviewers/audits; smallest fix is to update (or remove) that manual base/head note in the PR description.
