[Xuepoo]

First half of bitty-terminal/bitty#2495: package the storage mechanics as an executable component (storage 0.0.1, protocol 1.0) with a strict manifest, a bounded length-prefixed stdio protocol, journaled namespace commits, a Linux x86_64 tarball, and live protocol tests. The Core host client, capability gate, XDG migration, parity, and removal of the linked dependency follow in a separate Core PR; no Core file changes here.

Head: 09cd274 (rollback-image restoration round on top of f90bfc0, rebased onto origin/main 5c8e634).

What changed

• Manifest — bitty-component.toml (storage, 0.0.1, [1, 1], bitty-storage) with the zero-digest packaging sentinel, plus a hand-written fail-closed descriptor parser (src/component/descriptor.rs) that rejects unknown/duplicate keys, bad grammar, oversize input, and a placeholder digest at install time.
• Protocol — src/component/protocol.rs: length:u32be payload; Hello/HelloAck, OpenNamespace, ReadSnapshot, CommitBatch, Rollback, Shutdown; typed Error and responses. Hard bounds: 256 KiB frame, 64 namespaces, 4096 rows, 1 MiB snapshot, 128 KiB value, 128 rows / 240 KiB per batch or read page. Reads are paged so a 1 MiB snapshot never needs an over-frame response. Zero request ids, unknown tags, trailing bytes, and path-shaped names fail closed.
• Store — src/component/store/: one locked directory per namespace (snapshot, previous, journal, lock). Commit captures the prior previous image, publishes the journal first (temp+fsync+rename), then previous, then snapshot; a pre-publication failure restores the captured image (or its absence) before reporting io, and recovery replays a newer journal, discards an equal/older one, and fails closed on malformed state. Rollback restores the previous revision as a new monotonic revision. Namespaces take a non-blocking exclusive flock; the wire carries no path.
• Server/binary — src/component/server.rs, src/bin/bitty-storage.rs: single-threaded synchronous dispatch, --root PATH, --version, --check-manifest PATH; explicit shutdown drops locks and acks. Exit 0 clean, 3 protocol, 4 server/root failure.
• Packaging/CI — scripts/package-component.sh / test-package-component.sh, just component-package, and CI jobs for Rust gates, the Linux x86_64 archive, and the live suite against the packed binary.

Security hardening (review round 2)

Both blocking findings from the independent review are fixed at 0ab50bb, plus the parent-directory race and all four state members:

• Anchored namespace I/O. Linux/Android opens the root and namespace directories once and performs openat/renameat/unlinkat relative to those fds (src/fs_at.rs). lock, snapshot, previous, and journal are opened O_NOFOLLOW and verified regular; symlinks, FIFOs, devices, and directories are refused. Temps use O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, so a pre-planted symlink or existing regular temp is never followed or truncated.
• Ancestor replacement. Every read/commit/rollback verifies the namespace fd is still the directory currently named under the root (device/inode match) and fails closed with corrupt_state after a rename/symlink replacement instead of acknowledging writes to an orphaned directory.
• Generic atomic writer. src/atomic_io.rs now anchors the destination parent, creates temps exclusively/no-follow, requires the temp to share the destination parent, and makes the capped load and stale-temp sweep *at-anchored. A pre-planted temp symlink cannot create or modify an outside file.
• Platform posture. The anchored backend is Linux/Android only. Windows/macOS compile but StorageRoot::new fails closed with unsupported; there is no path-based component fallback. Relative XDG_STATE_HOME is ignored as the XDG spec requires.
• Failing-first regressions. The new tests were run against caf207b first and failed: existing and absent outside lock targets, all four state-member symlinks, namespace ancestor replacement, temp symlink redirection, and packed-server equivalents. They now pass in-process and through the extracted release binary. A pre-existing regular temp is also refused rather than truncated.
• Mutation checks. Removing O_NOFOLLOW from the lock open makes the lock regression fail; removing O_EXCL makes the existing-temp regression fail; removing the namespace attached check makes the ancestor regression fail. Source was restored byte-identically after each mutation.
• Follow-ups (explicit, not silently expanded). CTX-0009 tracks best-effort previous/journal cleanup failures weakening the unacknowledged-commit/rollback invariant. CTX-0010 tracks Windows trailing-dot/reserved-name namespace aliasing before any Windows backend. The request-rate asymmetry is not a vulnerability and is not changed.

Rollback-image restoration (review round 3)

• Restore before io. publish captures the prior previous image (or its absence) before step 2. If the snapshot rename fails before publication, it restores that image, removes the journal durably, and reports io: the committed revision and the N-1 rollback image are unchanged. A restoration that cannot be confirmed returns uncertain (never io) and keeps the journal, so recovery completes the commit instead of leaving revision N in both slots.
• No-op rollback rejected. rollback accepts only a previous image whose revision is exactly current - 1; an equal, newer, or skipping image is corrupt_state. The historical failure mode (revision N in both files) now fails closed instead of acknowledging restored_revision = N.
• Docs. README.md separates Committed (success only) from a pre-publication Error (no mutation), and documents the rollback/restoration/uncertainty contract; wire codes stay additive (internal 10, uncertain 11), and unknown kinds are a generic host failure.
• Deterministic regressions. New store tests block the snapshot rename with a directory after previous was rewritten: the N-1 image is restored, the journal is removed, and rollback restores N-1; the absent-previous variant stays absent; a forced restoration failure returns uncertain and replays on reopen; previous >= current, skipping images, and a no-op rollback are corrupt_state.

Verification

• just product — fmt, clippy -D warnings, full workspace tests: green (32 library unit tests, 26 atomic-write, 16 live server, 22 store, plus the existing suites).
• cargo fmt --all -- --check, RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked, and cargo test --workspace --locked (178 tests) were run against this head with CARGO_TARGET_DIR outside the checkout: green.
• just check — prettier, markdownlint, metadata/component metadata, hygiene, portable-path: green.
• just actionlint — green (act -n dry-run cannot resolve GitHub action repos from this host; actionlint is the local gate).
• RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --all-targets and --target x86_64-apple-darwin: green; the component backend correctly compiles to the fail-closed fallback.
• just component-package produced dist/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz (members exactly bitty-component.toml + bitty-storage), sha256 = def2496d4a64c425ba203718cb624240b645cb145bcbb8c6a8b0f3854bab6201.
• just component-package-test — package shape, checksums, stale-version and descriptor-drift rejection: green.
• BITTY_STORAGE_COMPONENT_BIN=dist/smoke/bitty-storage cargo test --test component_server --locked — 15/15 green against the packed release binary, including the symlinked-lock and namespace-replacement cases.
• cargo audit --no-fetch --stale --file Cargo.lock — clean (network fetch unavailable; cached advisory DB, no new crates added). gitleaks detect --source . — no leaks.

Limitations / follow-ups

• This is the component-server half only. The Core host client (install/digest verification, spawn/root selection, deadlines, capability gate, consent/safe-mode, crash accounting, process-group cleanup), XDG-state migration, linked-dependency parity/removal, and canonical docs synchronization remain for the Core PR.
• Only Linux/Android has the anchored backend; Windows/macOS fail closed with unsupported and are not packaged here. Linux x86_64 is the built/tested target; the remaining matrix follows #2491.
• Rollback is documented as a one-step restore of the previous revision, not an abort of an in-flight request (commits are synchronous and atomic).
• Journal recovery is validated by independently constructed on-disk bytes; a live kill between journal publication and snapshot rename is not deterministically timed in the integration suite.
• The commit path rewrites the whole bounded snapshot (max 1 MiB) per batch, so hot paths should batch changes as the issue requires; no performance benchmark is claimed in this half.
• A corrupt snapshot with no valid journal fails closed (corrupt_state) and is not auto-repaired; restore-from-backup or delete-namespace is the host-owned repair policy.
• CodeRabbit's four earlier findings remain applied in caf207b (relative CARGO_TARGET_DIR, full existing-archive descriptor validation, rows_removed schema row, completing previous during journal replay).
• CTX-0009 and CTX-0010 are the only deferred security findings from this round. The round-3 README outcome thread and rollback-image thread are addressed by 09cd274.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 279a9

The storage component's behavior looks sound, but the README tells the future host client to treat ordinary request errors as a lost component. That could trigger needless restarts and retries once the host is built. Fix the wording before merge; the other earlier concerns appear resolved.

VERDICT: NEEDS-FIX — independent security/protocol review (head caf207b)

Scope: bitty-component.toml + descriptor parser, protocol v1 codec/server, journaled store and path containment, packaging scripts, packed-binary behavior. No files modified; reviewed in the existing worktree.

Evidence run locally:

• cargo test --workspace --locked, just check, just product, actionlint, cargo audit, gitleaks — green.
• Built --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, ran the packager and its shape test, then the live component_server suite with BITTY_STORAGE_COMPONENT_BIN pointing at the extracted packed binary: 13/13 pass.
• Packed digest matches the staged descriptor (5e73e8c9…); archive members are exactly bitty-component.toml + bitty-storage.
• Hostile-descriptor matrix against the packed binary (placeholder, unknown key, duplicate key, ../ executable, inverted protocol, extra table, wrong version, missing key, 4097 bytes, non-UTF-8): 11/11 rejected.
• CodeRabbit's four findings from 86d5fd2 are present at this head: relative CARGO_TARGET_DIR, full existing-archive descriptor diff, rows_removed schema row, and previous completion during journal replay.

Blocking findings

1. Symlinked lock is followed and opens/creates an arbitrary path (path-containment escape)
   Namespace::open_namespace (src/component/store.rs:429) calls lock_namespace (:904-949), which opens canonical.join("lock") with OpenOptions read+write+create and no O_NOFOLLOW; unlike read_regular (:831-847), it never checks symlink_metadata. Confirmed live: pre-create root/evil/ plus root/evil/lock -> /tmp/…/outside-lock; handshake then OpenNamespace{request:7, namespace:"evil"} returns NamespaceOpened (tag 0x20) and outside-lock is created as the component user. This contradicts store.rs:34-35 ("Symlinked namespace directories and state files are refused") and escapes the host-chosen root. Impact is local/same-UID and limited to creating/opening an empty file plus holding an flock (no write through lock), but this is exactly the containment property the component claims. Fix: O_NOFOLLOW and/or create_new for lock, verify the opened object is a regular file inside the canonical namespace, and add regression tests for all four members (snapshot, previous, journal, lock).

2. Temp-file symlink TOCTOU in the atomic writer
   save_bytes_atomic (src/atomic_io.rs:253-275) removes the predictable temp path, then write_atomic_durably (:200-245) opens it with create+truncate and no O_NOFOLLOW/create_new. A process able to write in a namespace directory (host-provisioned root with loose modes, or a compromised same-UID process) can re-plant a symlink between remove and open and turn a commit into an arbitrary-file truncate/write as the component user. The helper is pre-existing, but this PR makes it reachable from an untrusted root layout. Fix: custom_flags(O_NOFOLLOW) and/or create_new(true) for the temp, and reject non-regular targets.

Non-blocking / follow-up

• Best-effort removals weaken documented invariants. Namespace::publish (store.rs:684-700) ignores failure to remove previous on first commit and ignores journal-removal failures. If remove_file(previous) fails, revision 0 stays rollback-able to a prior namespace lifetime's state; if journal removal fails after a failed snapshot write, recovery replays an "unacknowledged" commit. The module doc says the failed path leaves state unapplied (:22-26) and first commit must not be rollback-able (:685-688). Prefer treating these removals as commit errors (or mark the namespace corrupt); the window is narrow but the invariant is stated unconditionally.
• Windows namespace grammar. valid_name (protocol.rs:439-457) allows trailing-dot names (a.) and reserved device names (con, nul); on Windows a. can alias a, so two namespace names can target one directory sequentially. Linux x86_64 is the only packed target; add platform rules or document Linux-only before enabling Windows.
• Relative XDG state home. default_root (src/bin/bitty-storage.rs:64-68) accepts a relative XDG_STATE_HOME and resolves it against the CWD; the XDG spec requires ignoring relative values. The host normally passes --root; minor.
• No request rate gate. Work is bounded and the peer is the parent host, so this is not a vulnerability — just an asymmetry with the a11y component.

Verified sound

• Descriptor closed/fail-closed; version 0.0.1, protocol [1,1], executable bitty-storage; placeholder digest refused at install validation; packed digest matches.
• Length prefix checked from the 4-byte header before allocation; zero/oversize/truncated/trailing/unknown-tag rejected; frame 256 KiB, snapshot 1 MiB, 4096 rows, 128 KiB value, 128 rows / 240 KiB batch and read page bounds enforced on encode and decode.
• Wire carries no path; namespace grammar rejects separators, dot segments, controls and non-ASCII; directories are re-canonicalized and checked inside the root; symlinked namespace directories and the snapshot/previous/journal members are refused (only lock is the gap above). Keys are data, never filenames.
• Journal-before-snapshot ordering, crash replay, stale-revision fencing, rollback-as-new-revision and lock contention are covered by tests and pass against the packed binary.
• No network surface, no installer/download, no arbitrary argv beyond --root (host-chosen and documented); errors are static diagnostics with no keys, values or paths.
• Packaging: exactly two archive members, real digest rendered, zero-digest sentinel enforced, mixed-version archives rejected, SHA256SUMS/sidecars verified.

Security review findings addressed at 0ab50bbf5fecc05b5a3c83521b3ab8f4431eba58; not merged, independent security re-review required.

• Blocking 1 (symlinked lock / arbitrary outside create): fixed. The root and namespace are opened as directory fds; lock, snapshot, previous, and journal are opened openat(..., O_NOFOLLOW) and verified regular. lock uses O_CREAT without O_EXCL but with O_NOFOLLOW, so an existing symlink fails and an absent outside target is never created. Regressions cover existing and absent outside targets for all four members, in-process and through the extracted release binary.
• Blocking 2 (temp symlink / parent race): fixed. State temps use O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW relative to the namespace fd; atomic_io anchors the destination parent, requires a same-parent temp, and uses exclusive no-follow temp creation for the generic writer. A pre-existing regular temp is refused, not truncated. Namespace replacement after open is detected by device/inode and fails closed before any read/commit/rollback, so there is no orphaned-directory acknowledgement.
• Non-blocking dispositions. CTX-0009 tracks first-commit previous removal and journal-removal cleanup failures weakening the stated invariant. CTX-0010 tracks Windows trailing-dot/reserved-name aliasing before Windows enablement. Relative XDG_STATE_HOME is now ignored per the XDG spec. The request-rate asymmetry is not a vulnerability and is unchanged.
• Evidence. just product, just check, just actionlint, package shape, 15/15 live tests against the extracted bitty-storage, Windows/macOS -D warnings compile checks, cargo audit (cached DB), and gitleaks are green. Mutation checks: removing lock O_NOFOLLOW, temp O_EXCL, or the namespace-attached check each makes the corresponding regression fail; source restored byte-identically.

Security blockers addressed in the current branch changes (validation: just product, just check, just component-package-test, just actionlint, shfmt -d, shellcheck -S warning, and gitleaks pass):

• src/atomic_io.rs sweep now opens only the destination parent; regression preserves aged matching files in parent and grandparent.
• Root initialization is component-by-component fd-relative from / or ., rejects symlink components and .., and has a symlink-ancestor refusal test; no canonicalize-then-open window remains.
• Recovery checks attachment before acknowledgement, and commit/rollback perform an attachment check after publish before success. Interleaving tests replace the namespace after recovery and after publish; both return the explicit uncertain outcome rather than success.
• File and directory fsync errors are propagated. Post-rename directory fsync/journal unlink fsync failures classify as Uncertain; recovery docs instruct the caller to reopen and inspect revision before retrying. Injected fsync failure confirms the rename is visible but not acknowledged as durable.
• Existing archive validation hashes the embedded executable and compares it with the descriptor digest; package fixture rejects a mismatched archive.
• Also fixed the new CodeRabbit stale-temp finding: after namespace lock acquisition, aged journal/previous/snapshot temp siblings are swept fd-relatively before recovery.

Disposition of remaining CodeRabbit inline comments: the generic-helper symlinked-state-directory compatibility suggestion and generic missing-parent LoadError::NotFound mapping are unrelated to this component security scope and remain unchanged; no component fallback or path authority was broadened. The thread’s archive-digest and sweep findings are addressed above. No merge.

Windows atomic writes do not fail after publishing the data. Keep propagating
directory open and sync errors on Unix, and leave the rename behavior unchanged.

Review comments at @src/component/server.rs:
- Line 342: Update the server’s handling of StoreErrorKind::Uncertain to discard
the cached Namespace handle, ensuring a later OpenNamespace request reopens the
namespace rather than reusing the existing handle.
- Line 342: Add a distinct `ErrorKind::Uncertain` wire code and document it in
the wire error table, including its numeric conversion and name mappings. Update
the `StoreErrorKind::Uncertain` mapping to use `ErrorKind::Uncertain` and a
dedicated `ERR_UNCERTAIN` message so hosts can distinguish uncertain commits
from ordinary I/O errors.

Follow-up fixes for PX-0035 are pushed on ctx-0011/fix-storage-uncertainty at 6f1e4af (based on PR head 5b5f19e). No merge performed.

Addressed:

• Uncertain commit/rollback results evict the cached namespace; OpenNamespace checks cached inode attachment before acknowledging and reopens after eviction. Added deterministic replacement/reopen and uncertain-eviction tests.
• Added protocol ErrorKind::Uncertain (wire code 10; internal becomes 11), with reopen-before-retry wording. Attachment documentation now defines success in terms of the opened namespace inode and explicitly does not claim pathname check/stdio acknowledgement atomicity.
• Recovery post-write attachment and journal-cleanup failures map to Uncertain; first-commit previous cleanup and failed-commit journal cleanup are no longer silently ignored.
• Generic atomic writes expose IoError::is_uncertain() for post-rename directory-sync failures; docs no longer claim the old destination remains intact after rename.
• Lock hardlink/inode replacement checks added.
• Existing archive validation now requires exactly two regular members, validates the target executable name including Windows .exe, and package tests cover Windows, duplicate, and symlink member shapes.

Validation passed:

• just product
• just check
• just component-package-test
• shellcheck -S warning scripts/package-component.sh scripts/test-package-component.sh
• shfmt -d scripts/package-component.sh scripts/test-package-component.sh

Remaining risks: no power-loss campaign or cross-platform runtime campaign; generic non-component path helper remains path-based outside the Linux/Android anchored component backend. Independent re-review is still required.

Security re-review requested at 47ec80d (ctx-0008/feat-component-server). 6f1e4af is now on this branch as a5be48f; the follow-up keeps that work and closes the review gaps. No merge performed.

Blockers verified at the new head:

• Cached namespace: commit, rollback, and read evict the Namespace on Uncertain; a later OpenNamespace reopens and reloads disk state. A detected detached namespace returns Uncertain (not CorruptState), so the host reopens and re-resolves the path.
• Attachment contract: identity is the directory inode opened by OpenNamespace. README, component/store, atomic_io, and fs_at now state that the root/name (st_dev, st_ino) check is best-effort detection, not an atomic binding with the stdio acknowledgement, and that success guarantees only the opened inode.
• Post-write recovery: every failure while replaying a valid journal (previous/snapshot write, stale-previous removal, attachment, journal removal) and every failed cleanup after publication maps to Uncertain. A journal-present snapshot-read I/O failure maps to Uncertain; structural corruption keeps its typed kind.
• atomic_io: post-rename directory-fsync failure is preserved as IoError::is_uncertain() on Unix-like targets. Windows skips the unsupported directory sync, returns success after the rename, and explicitly claims no directory-entry durability (Unix-gated, Windows-only test added).

Wire compatibility: Internal stays at code 10; Uncertain is additive at code 11. The protocol docs, README table, host expectation test, and wire roundtrip test pin the table. Unknown kinds remain fail-closed.

CodeRabbit: all five outstanding threads have committed fixes or per-comment replies and are resolved (generic symlinked state directory, missing-parent LoadError::NotFound, existing-archive member validation, Windows directory sync, cached-handle eviction plus distinct kind).

Added tests: cached reopen after uncertainty, failed journal replay is uncertain and retriable after repair, hardlinked and replaced lock, archive duplicate/non-symlink/member-count and Windows member name, and Windows/path post-rename behavior.

Validation at 47ec80d: just product, just check, just actionlint, just component-package-test, shfmt -d, shellcheck -S warning, gitleaks detect, and the live protocol suite against the packed release binary (BITTY_STORAGE_COMPONENT_BIN) all pass. Cross-target cargo check --all-targets passes for x86_64-pc-windows-gnu and aarch64-apple-darwin; the packaged runtime target remains Linux x86_64. No Core, packaging-channel, tag, or R2 change.

Reviewer: please re-run the independent security review against 47ec80d, especially the cached-handle eviction/reopen path, the exact attachment guarantee wording, and the additive wire-code contract. Do not merge.

[Xuepoo]

Head updated to f90bfc0 for the independent security re-review: the only change after 47ec80d is a test-only regression (journal_with_unreadable_snapshot_is_uncertain_not_io) proving a journal-present snapshot read failure returns Uncertain and keeps recovery evidence. All four blocker fixes and the additive Internal=10 / Uncertain=11 contract are unchanged. just product passes again at this head; no merge.

259-259: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use a valid revision-1 snapshot fixture in journal_with_unreadable_snapshot_is_uncertain_not_io.

snapshot_bytes(0, &[]) creates an image with revision 0. Snapshot::decode rejects revision 0 as Corrupt (src/component/store/anchored.rs Lines 130-132). As a result, the second half of the test does not test a readable pre-commit snapshot.

Here is how the second half runs now. When the test restores mode 0600, recover decodes current as Err(Corrupt). It skips the step-2 repair of previous and replays the journal through the corrupt-snapshot path. The assertion reopened.revision() == 1 passes, but the message "recovery must succeed once the snapshot is readable" describes a different scenario. If someone later tightens corrupt-snapshot replay, this test will fail for a reason its name does not describe.

Use a valid revision-1 snapshot and a revision-2 journal. Then the test checks normal replay after the read fault is repaired.

♻️ Proposed fixture fix

-    std::fs::write(&snapshot, snapshot_bytes(0, &[])).expect("snapshot fixture");
+    std::fs::write(&snapshot, snapshot_bytes(1, &[("a", b"1")])).expect("snapshot fixture");
     std::fs::write(
         namespace_dir.join("journal"),
-        journal_bytes(1, &[("a", b"1")]),
+        journal_bytes(2, &[("a", b"1"), ("b", b"2")]),
     )

Then update Line 302 to assert_eq!(reopened.revision(), 2);.
