Summary

  • The integration writer replaces a client's configuration with an atomic temp-file rename. That is
    the right shape for a secret, but the surviving inode belongs to whoever runs opencodex. On a
    shared mount the replace quietly dispossesses the product that owns the file.
  • [Bug]: DSH integration atomic replace changes file ownership and causes EACCES across UIDs #4197 is that case measured: opencodex at uid 1000 replaces a DSH settings.yaml owned by uid 987,
    the file comes back as 1000:1000 mode 600, DSH fails its next read with EACCES, and the
    restore call still reports success.
  • The write now refuses when the target exists and belongs to another uid, and the error names the
    path and both uids so the operator knows what to change. writer.ts already turns a thrown write
    into write_failed, which the management route already serializes, so the refusal reaches the
    dashboard as a failure instead of a silent break.
  • The global 0600 hardening is untouched and no chown is attempted. Preserving the previous owner
    needs a capability the process usually does not have, and relaxing the hardening would weaken every
    integration to fix one. A metadata-preserving replace can be proposed separately.
  • Windows is skipped deliberately: it has no uid model on this path and hardenSecretPath owns it.

Closes #4197

Verification

  • Added five cases to tests/clients/integrations-writer.test.ts covering the foreign-owner refusal,
    the message naming the path and both uids, a file the process already owns, an absent target, and a
    runtime that exposes no effective uid. The guard takes injectable effectiveUid and ownerUid so
    the multi-UID case is provable without privileges or a Docker bind mount.
  • Local product suite, typecheck, build, and install: NOT RUN by operator instruction. Hosted CI
    on the exact pushed head is the proof for this PR.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Protected integration configuration writes from replacing files owned by another system user.
    • Added a clear error message with the affected path and guidance to transfer ownership.
    • Preserved writing for files owned by the current process, missing files, and environments without available ownership information.

…le from its owner

The integration writer replaces a client's config with an atomic temp-file rename.
The surviving inode belongs to whoever runs opencodex, so on a shared mount the
replace silently dispossesses the owning product: DSH at uid 987 loses its own
settings.yaml to opencodex at uid 1000 and dies with EACCES, while the restore
call reports success.

Preserving the previous uid needs a chown capability we usually lack, and relaxing
the 0600 hardening would weaken every integration to fix one. So the write refuses
and names both uids and the path.

Walkthrough

The integration writer now checks existing target-file ownership before atomic replacement. It skips the check when no effective UID exists, rejects mismatched ownership with an explanatory error, and adds tests for supported ownership scenarios.

Integration write ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ownership guard and write integration
devlog/_plan/.../000_packet.md, src/integrations/config-io.ts
The write path calls assertIntegrationWriteOwnership before atomicWriteFile. The guard compares the target owner UID with the effective process UID, skips the check when no effective UID exists, and rejects mismatches with an explanatory error.
Ownership guard validation

Tests cover mismatched ownership, error details, matching ownership, absent targets, and runtimes without an effective UID.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6b033

This PR adds a safeguard so OpenCodex won't silently take over an externally-owned configuration file, but the safeguard is checked too early relative to when the file is actually replaced. In a narrow timing window, the original bug (locking out the external product from its config file) can still occur. This should be tightened by validating ownership immediately before the rename rather than only up front.

이 PR은 #4197을 고칩니다. DSH 같은 다른 제품의 설정 파일을 OpenCodex 통합(integration)이 덮어쓸 때, 지금은 src/integrations/config-io.tsfileIO().writeText가 곧바로 atomicWriteFile만 호출합니다. src/config/atomic-write.ts는 임시 파일을 만들고 0600으로 굳힌 뒤 rename으로 목표 경로를 바꿉니다. 그래서 살아남는 inode의 주인은 OpenCodex를 돌리는 사용자(예: uid 1000)가 됩니다. 이슈에서 측정한 그대로, 원래 주인이 uid 987인 /srv/dsh-data/settings.yaml1000:1000 mode 600으로 바뀌고, DSH는 다음 읽기에서 EACCES로 죽는데 restore API는 성공으로 돌아옵니다. 공유 마운트에서 「조용히 파일 주인을 뺏는」 버그입니다.

지금 dev의 방향과도 맞습니다. 260911 라운드 L5(codex/260911-l5-integrations-io)의 첫 스택이 #4197 → #4214이고, 130_wp4_feasibility.md/030_audit_round1.md에 이미 결정이 박혀 있습니다. 「메타데이터를 보존하려고 fchown하거나 0600을 풀지 말고, 목표 파일이 이미 있고 주인이 프로세스 euid와 다르면 쓰기를 거절하고 API 에러로 알려라」. 이 PR은 그 결정을 assertIntegrationWriteOwnership으로 구현하고, fileIO().writeText 앞에서 호출합니다. writer.tscommit()io.writeText에서 던진 에러를 잡아 write_failed로 돌리므로, 대시보드/관리 API에는 실패로 전달됩니다. Windows는 process.geteuid가 없으면 검사를 건너뛰고, 그 플랫폼의 비밀 경로 강화는 기존 hardenSecretPath에 맡깁니다. 전역 0600 강화는 그대로입니다.

고치는 범위도 L5 소유 경로 안입니다. 코드는 src/integrations/config-io.ts, 회귀는 이미 레이아웃에 등록된 tests/clients/integrations-writer.test.ts에 다섯 케이스를 붙였습니다(다른 uid 거절, 메시지에 경로·양쪽 uid, 같은 주인 허용, 없는 파일 허용, euid 없음 스킵). 새 테스트 파일이 아니라서 layout.json 추가는 필요 없습니다. 패킷 devlog/_plan/260911_l5_integrations_io/000_packet.md도 같이 올라와 라운드 디스패치와 맞습니다. 로컬 suite는 운영자 지시로 NOT RUN이고 hosted CI가 증명인 점도 패킷 MUST와 같습니다.

라인 292 근처 assertIntegrationWriteOwnership docstring / 거절 메시지 - 결정(거절, chown 없음, 0600 유지)과 재현(#4197 uid 1000 vs 987)을 초등학생도 따라갈 수 있게 적혀 있어 좋습니다.
라인 259-261 fileIO().writeText - 가드를 write 직전에 두어 writer·restore·enable 등 IntegrationIO.writeText를 쓰는 경로가 한곳에서 막힙니다.
tests/clients/integrations-writer.test.ts 소유권 describe - injectable effectiveUid/ownerUid로 권한·도커 없이 다중 uid를 증명하는 설계가 맞습니다.

라인 - assertIntegrationWriteOwnership의 기본 ownerUidstatSync 실패(EACCES 등) 때 undefined를 돌려 검사를 통과시킴 - 디렉터리에 쓰기 권한만 있으면 「읽지는 못하지만 rename으로 덮을 수 있는」 파일은 여전히 주인 뺏기가 가능함. 없는 파일과 같은 취급이라 #4197 본사례(읽을 수 있는 다른 uid 파일)는 막히지만, 실패 폐쇄(fail-closed)는 아님.
경로/심볼 assertIntegrationWriteOwnership 단위 테스트만 있음 - fileIO().writeTextwriter.commit까지 이은 통합 케이스는 없음. writer.ts가 throw → write_failed인 건 기존에 있으나, 이번 거절 문구가 그 경로로 나가는지는 CI/리뷰어 눈으로만 확인하게 됨.
devlog/_plan/260911_l5_integrations_io/000_packet.md 제목은 revision 5인데, Shared frame 본문에 「This packet is at revision 3 because…」문장이 남아 있음 - 문서만의 불일치.
이슈 본문의 ACL mask::--- 같은 「uid는 같은데 접근이 깨지는」 경우는 이번 가드 밖임 - 의도된 범위 축소로 보이지만, 운영 문서에 「uid만 본다」고 한 줄 있으면 오해가 줄어듦.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
CI가 이 head(6b033f1)에서 그린이면 dev에 머지하고 #4197을 닫아라. L5 다음 작업은 #4214(CLI/registry만, dashboard는 후속)로 이어가면 된다. stat 실패 허용은 이번 최소 수정에 남겨도 되고, 더 조이려면 후속 PR에서 「존재하는데 owner를 못 읽으면 거절」만 추가하면 된다. 패킷 revision 문구만 정리하면 문서 니트는 끝이다.

P1 Badge Refuse foreign ownership before creating a snapshot

When an existing integration config has a foreign UID, the writer has already called store.captureSnapshot before reaching this guard, but the thrown error prevents the journal append that normally triggers snapshot pruning. Every retry therefore leaves another unreferenced, potentially credential-bearing snapshot under the OpenCodex store indefinitely. Perform the ownership preflight before snapshot capture, or explicitly remove the uncommitted snapshot when this refusal occurs.

P1 Badge Recheck ownership at the atomic rename boundary

When the shared client rewrites the config between this check and atomicWriteFile's rename—or when a symlink is retargeted between these two calls—the checked inode can differ from the inode actually replaced, so the cross-UID ownership transfer and resulting EACCES can still occur. Pass the check through atomicWriteFile's validateBeforeRename hook against its resolved target, while retaining an early preflight if needed to avoid creating snapshots or temporary files.

Revalidate ownership immediately before the rename.

atomicWriteFile invokes validateBeforeRename(target) after hardening the temporary file and immediately before rename(tmp, target). The current check runs too early. If DSH replaces path during the write, OpenCodex can replace its file with a 0600 inode and prevent DSH from reading it.

Keep the preflight check and add the rename-boundary check:

Proposed change
 writeText: (path, text) => {
   assertIntegrationWriteOwnership(path);
-  atomicWriteFile(path, text);
+  atomicWriteFile(path, text, undefined, {
+    validateBeforeRename: assertIntegrationWriteOwnership,
+  });
 },
