Summary

Remote Link currently collapses a failed local owner lookup and an expired credential-free relay authentication preflight into 503 {"error":"link tunnel unavailable"}. A transient deadline rejects the turn even when a fresh proof and connection would succeed, and the response does not identify the refusal branch.

• Return one typed LinkAdmissionResult containing admission kind and timing/check/generation metadata. Relay recovery reads that result directly; diagnostic callbacks cannot supply policy decisions. The supervisor has one typed inspectLoopbackListener dependency and fences stale asynchronous results. The existing standalone boolean OS helper remains for its consumers. A Darwin lsof exit 1 with strictly empty output is classified as no match, rather than an inspection error.
• Give each relay request one shared recovery attempt for an owner-lookup deadline or a specifically typed authentication deadline before data-request construction. Recovery obtains fresh admission and a newly authenticated physical socket. Unclassified ownership refusals, foreign owners, explicit auth refusals, caller/header aborts and ambiguous post-dispatch failures do not qualify. The original capped body stream is delivered once; the existing reconnect hold and refused-connection rules remain in place. The two-/five-second deadlines and overall header deadline are unchanged.
• Add best-effort local link/diagnostics.jsonl with one rotated backup, each bounded to 256 KiB. The async writer retains at most 56 queued records plus one active write, yields during Windows ACL work, and rate-limits fixed event/outcome buckets with suppression counts. Only whitelisted metadata is persisted; no raw errors, credentials, headers, bodies, URLs, hostnames or account/link identifiers. Relay-generated 503s receive a generated x-opencodex-link-request-id; correlation is sampled rather than a complete trace. Routine successful owner checks are silent; failures and recovery attempts are logged, and successful retry response headers emit relay_recovered. Graceful signal shutdown and standalone recycle drain queued records for at most one second; stalled storage, forced termination or power loss can still lose evidence.
• Document the behavior and add regression coverage, including a real silent peer that expires the production five-second preflight, then succeeds on a new socket and nonce with exactly one data dispatch.

Refs #7297. This is a bounded diagnostic/recovery slice; it does not implement the issue's full opt-in SSH debug interface or establish the cause of historical production failures.

Verification

On macOS arm64 with Bun 1.4.3, based on clean upstream dev at 072e7fe540d7afd068154c57817ea3334d9df1bf:

• Final regression command: 255 passed, 1 platform skip, 0 failed:

  bun scripts/test.ts tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts tests/clients/link-relay-bound-transport.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-tunnel.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts tests/server/port-reclaim.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts --coverage --coverage-reporter=text

  Covers bounded/shared retries, unchanged body bytes, cancellation, proof refusal, post-proof reset/timeout, stop/replacement fencing, asynchronous Windows ACL simulation, redaction, queue/rotation bounds, test-layout registration, quiet ordinary success, recovery independent of a throwing diagnostic sink, persistence before recycle/signal-handler exit, and bounded return while an ACL writer is blocked. Signal tests use subprocess process.emit; native OS signal delivery and SIGHUP are not separately verified. The owner-deadline regression was observed failing before the recovery change. Prepublication anti-slop and behavioral-test review also found and fixed a regression where a prefetched oversized upload became 503 on auth timeout; its test failed with 503 before the catch-order correction and now preserves 413 without a retry. Added assertions reject false recovery after upstream 500 and distinguish auth duration from owner-check duration in retry/failure diagnostics.
• bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check, bun scripts/file-size-ratchet.ts, and git diff --check: passed.
• Frozen dependency installation and cd docs-site && bun run build: passed, 585 pages / 83,071 checked internal links. Existing sshconfig highlighting warnings remain.
• Broad import-connected run during implementation, bun run test:changed: 35,275 passed, 74 skipped, 6 failed across 1,595 files (473.6 seconds). This is not a green broad-suite result. Five failures concern existing Codex/Bun discovery and launcher fallback expectations. A separate clean worktree at the same upstream dev reproduced exactly those five failures; the final PR branch and clean baseline each returned 161 passed, 3 skipped, 5 failed for:

  bun scripts/test.ts tests/cli/cli-connect-readiness.test.ts tests/cli/ocx-launcher-runtime.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-runtime.test.ts tests/providers/minimax-combo-image-input.test.ts

  The sixth broad-run failure was the MiniMax image-input test's five-second timeout; it passed in both focused comparison runs. Its failure under broad-run load remains unclassified.
• Full-suite exception: the import-connected run already exercised 35,355 tests and took nearly eight minutes; an additional unfiltered local suite was not run. The architectural simplification was verified by the current 256-test regression run and the broad run recorded below. Full unfiltered and native Linux/Windows execution remain for CI/maintainers; forced-Windows ACL tests are not native Windows evidence.
• Independent local architecture/security-focused code review completed; both diagnostic findings were fixed and re-reviewed. This PR stays draft pending upstream review/CI and the explicit maintainer security review required for authentication-boundary changes.

Architecture and diagnostic validation

The admission observer side channel and boolean ownership injection adapter were removed. Existing reconnect holds, generation/identity fencing, credential-free preflight and connection-bound data transport remain in place. No dependency, transport layer or restart mechanism was added. Independent architecture and adversarial correctness/test reviews cover the simplified design.

CodeRabbit discussion 4340084543 is resolved: backward wall-clock adjustments reset both ordinary and full-queue diagnostic windows while preserving suppression counts. Regressions retain that behavior, upload-limit 413 precedence, fresh sockets/nonces, and one data dispatch after the real five-second silent-peer timeout. The bounded writer remains best effort, not a lossless audit log.

On final head 1bba1dc11, the original bun run test:changed returned 35,297 passed, 74 skipped, 7 failed and 1 error across 1,595 files. A subsequent controlled comparison ran the same 1,594 common files sequentially on clean detached upstream base 072e7fe540d7afd068154c57817ea3334d9df1bf and the unchanged PR head. Both used Bun 1.4.3, the stock wrapper (--isolate --parallel=4), matching frozen-installed dependencies, a common inherited environment snapshot, fresh isolated test homes, and the host test-run lock. Only the new PR-only diagnostics file was excluded from both selections; manifest SHA-256: c06e98fde11176919a75639b92cfc69f0b1930f07a9ff90df1e89ae912134053. The original run's --changed selection was replaced with that explicit shared manifest so the two trees exercised identical files.

Revision	Passed	Skipped	Failed	Unhandled errors	Duration
Clean base 072e7fe54	35,217	74	9	0	609.4 s
PR head 1bba1dc11	35,288	74	8	1	561.9 s

All five original Codex/Bun discovery/launcher failures reproduced on both trees. The first runtime failure was isolated with a throwaway probe: it selects the host-installed Codex despite an empty PATH, and returns the expected fallback when only the fixed installed-root probes report ENOENT. The second runtime failure is consistent with the same installed-runtime preference, but was not separately traced at dispatch. The three launcher fixtures accidentally resolve Bun from an ancestor node_modules; upstream already fixed their fixture ancestry in #7466. A focused run on fresh clean upstream dev at 79fa3506628da65bcd599a2890f13d1cbb4a2f20 confirmed those three launcher failures disappear; the two host-dependent runtime assertions remain (166 passed, 3 skipped, 2 failed, four files).

The original Copilot replay and Daybreak compact failures passed in both wide controls and in three further paired repetitions of these four files:

bun scripts/test.ts tests/providers/github-copilot/github-copilot-wire-defaults.test.ts tests/server/server-auth.test.ts tests/responses/responses-retained-reasoning-stream-recovery.test.ts tests/codex-integration/codex-shim.test.ts

Each baseline repetition returned 274 passed, 23 skipped, 0 failed. PR repetitions returned 273/23/1, 274/23/0, and 274/23/0: the one failure was a different five-second shim auto-restore timeout. The controlled wide runs also had non-overlapping additional failures: four on the base, versus a shim timeout and two retained-reasoning stream failures plus a late assertion on the PR. The latter stream cases passed in all six focused repetitions. Source review found no direct activation of the changed relay/diagnostic behavior in those provider/compact scenarios; diagnostics have no import-time writer or timer. This does not exclude indirect scheduling/resource effects from the larger PR test set. The original Daybreak 400 body was not recorded, so its refusal branch remains unknown; the earlier separate loopback-policy 403 is not evidence for that 400's cause. These runs establish five baseline failures, not a green broad suite or blanket exclusion of PR involvement in the non-reproduced failures. No production code, test expectations, timeouts, or policies were changed during this comparison.

Current typecheck, privacy scan, structure check, file-size ratchet and whitespace checks passed. Conditional GUI lint skipped correctly because there are no GUI changes; no separate backend lint script is configured. Frozen docs installation and the final docs build passed (585 pages / 83,071 internal links). Independent architect and critic reviews found no remaining issues. The ten-file regression with coverage returned 255 passed, 1 platform skip, 0 failed; diagnostics achieved 100% function and line coverage within that targeted run (aggregate import coverage is not full-system coverage).

For previous head 1bba1dc11, GitHub enforce-target, hygiene, label and resolve-pr checks passed; CodeRabbit explicitly skipped its review because the PR is draft. These checks do not establish product test CI or maintainer security approval. The branch base is three commits behind the observed upstream dev tip (79fa35066); the PR remains draft.

CodeRabbit follow-up validation

At head 1b964f07b, both findings from the repeat review of 1390a38fa are addressed:

• 4341312121: Windows diagnostic appends reuse the existing identity-aware ACL memo after the append and handle close, with a bigint descriptor/path identity check and symlink rejection before close. File replacement or later permission changes still require fresh hardening. A regression first failed on the old code (two owner-grant sequences for two appends instead of one), then passed with the fix; it also covers replacement and subsequent permission changes. No pathname-only cache was added.
• 4341312138: the SIGINT/SIGTERM diagnostic-drain subprocess tests now use the existing watchdogMs(60_000) timeout, longer than the local watchdog for default/focused Bun invocations.
• The earlier backward-clock finding remains fixed. The docstring coverage warning persists at 56.67%; no new functional finding is attached to it. Existing API contract documentation remains; test callbacks were not padded with redundant docstrings.

Fresh validation on macOS arm64 / Bun 1.4.3:

bun scripts/test.ts --changed=1390a38fa53c5aa0fbe27567cce2b4bd0b6d1635
# 113 passed, 0 failed, 7 files selected for this follow-up delta
bun scripts/test.ts tests/windows/windows-secret-acl.test.ts tests/windows/windows-secret-acl-removal-flight.test.ts
# 189 passed, 0 failed
bun test tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts -t 'shutdown persists queued diagnostics'
# 2 passed, 0 failed, without a CLI timeout override

Typecheck, privacy scan, structure check, file-size ratchet and whitespace checks passed. Independent review of the four-file delta found no issues and independently ran 26 relevant tests successfully. There is no configured backend lint; GUI lint is outside this delta. Native Windows behavior remains unverified: the Windows regression uses the existing synthetic runners on macOS. The full suite was not repeated for this bounded follow-up; the earlier controlled broad runs and their unresolved attribution limits above still apply.

GitHub CI inspected on 1390a38fa: Cross-platform CI, Catalog async contracts and React Doctor were action_required pending fork-workflow approval, not test failures. Hygiene and labels passed. Repeated enforce-target cancellations explicitly report superseding pr-gate-comment-7491 concurrency. Product CI on the new head is tracked separately; missing/approval-blocked runs are not passing evidence. This contributor account has no upstream write or maintain permission to approve runs. The PR remains draft pending product CI and maintainer security review.

Rebase validation

Rebased the seven existing commits from 1b964f07b onto fresh upstream dev at a4f335c075f84b721f0122ae0534a4af81e86294. Current head: a2bc3e84db086812a6ee14801b3b5982abd4ac50. Conflict resolutions preserve the new per-serve/rollback supervisor lifecycle with diagnostic injection, and the upstream Child version/features report on the credential-free authentication challenge. The other five original commits replayed without content changes.

Independent integration review found one new exit path: the bound restart introduced upstream could exit without draining queued diagnostics. The follow-up commit reuses the existing one-second bounded flush before that exit. A subprocess regression drives the real authenticated restart endpoint, substitutes only the replacement launcher, queues diagnostics at replacement confirmation, and checks persisted records after exit. Before the fix the child exited successfully but its diagnostic file was missing; afterward it passes. Signal shutdown and rollback/restart policy remain intact.

Fresh macOS arm64 / Bun 1.4.3 validation on this head:

bun scripts/test.ts tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts tests/clients/link-relay-bound-transport.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-tunnel.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts tests/server/port-reclaim.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime-restart.test.ts tests/clients/link-parity-reporter.test.ts tests/clients/link-peer-compatibility.test.ts
# 282 passed, 1 Linux-only platform skip, 0 failed (13 files)
bun test tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts -t 'shutdown persists'
# 3 passed, 0 failed

The first sandboxed regression attempt could not read macOS process identity because /bin/ps was denied, causing its exact-argv test to fail closed. The final command above ran with process-read access and passed that test. Typecheck, privacy scan, structure check, file-size ratchet and whitespace checks all passed. Independent review of the rebase resolutions and restart-drain delta passed; the reviewer independently reran all three shutdown-persistence cases. No backend lint is configured; GUI lint is outside the changed paths. Native Windows/Linux and new-head upstream product CI remain separate validation gaps. The full suite was not repeated for this rebase: the earlier paired broad runs already took about twenty minutes, and their documented failures/attribution limits remain applicable, not claimed fixed here. The PR gate may reset readiness after the rewritten head; old-head checks are not current-head CI evidence.

Deterministic ACL regression follow-up

At fe19493e3, addressed Ingwannu's review in tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts only. The existing setStatForTests seam keeps real dev/ino and ordinary filesystem observations through append/replacement. After the real chmod pair, the target's observed ctimeNs explicitly changes by one tick, with unchanged-identity/changed-freshness assertions. Replacement coverage, both memo-reuse assertions and the third ACL-grant assertion remain. The seam resets in finally; no production changes, sleeps or timeout changes.

Fresh Bun 1.4.3 validation:

bun test tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts -t 'Windows diagnostic appends reuse ACLs'
bun scripts/test.ts tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts
bun scripts/test.ts tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts tests/clients/link-relay-bound-transport.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-tunnel.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts tests/server/port-reclaim.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts

• macOS arm64: isolated 1 passed, diagnostic file 9 passed, final ten-file batch 257 passed / 1 platform skip / 0 failed. An initial batch run overlapping static checks had two real-lsof ownership deadline failures; the final batch above ran without that parallel load and passed. The ACL case passed both times.
• Linux x64: same commands in an isolated oven/bun:1.4.3 Podman container, with 4 GiB memory, 2 CPUs and 256 PID limits: isolated 1 passed, diagnostic file 9 passed. Ten-file batch 254 passed / 3 platform skips / 1 failed. The ACL case passed; the failure is an ended link recycles a connected sibling after listener cleanup, timing out waiting for recycle exit. It also fails in isolation. A control with the original test restored (the source tree at parent head a2bc3e84d, with matching dependencies and container limits) reproduces that same isolated failure. This excludes this test-only delta as its cause in this container; it does not establish its root cause or a green Linux batch.
• Scratch mutation checks: ignoring freshness makes the retained third-grant assertion fail (expected 3, got 2); removing post-append memo reattribution makes the retained reuse assertion fail (expected 1, got 2). The real worktree was untouched by those mutations.
• Typecheck, privacy scan, structure check, file-size ratchet and whitespace checks passed. Independent review passed and separately ran the diagnostic file (9 passed). Existing best-effort diagnostic fail-safe remains unchanged; no masking fallback, new abstraction or dependency was introduced. No backend lint is configured; GUI lint is outside this one-test delta.

The full suite was not repeated for this bounded test-only follow-up; prior broad-suite failures and attribution limits above remain applicable. Native Windows and exact-new-head hosted CI/security approval remain separate requirements. Platform skips are not native-platform acceptance evidence.

Latest dev rebase validation

Rebased fe19493e3 onto upstream dev at 299e8b68b2d56088c1d67fb7f9a04e403fa5d7a1 (2.92.0). Current head: b3f2024a2c94f02d3b25b248cebfead9ffe712d8. The original nine commits are retained, plus one integration-test correction. Conflict resolutions in src/client/link-relay.ts and structure/remote-link.md preserve OCX-11's separate home_unreachable and link_relay_auth_failed responses while retaining diagnostic correlation and the existing shared pre-dispatch recovery budget. Authentication refusals still do not qualify for recovery or read as Home outages. No retry, body-replay or trust boundary was widened.

The new upstream client-home-unreachable fixture returned the old boolean verdict and therefore stopped before its authentication check. It first failed with 7 passed / 1 failed; updating that fixture to return { kind: "match" } produced 8 passed / 0 failed, preserving every response assertion. File-replacement/permission-freshness coverage and bounded diagnostic shutdown drains remain intact.

Fresh final-head macOS arm64 / Bun 1.4.3 validation:

bun scripts/test.ts tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts tests/clients/link-relay-bound-transport.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-tunnel.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts tests/clients/client-machine-listener.test.ts tests/server/port-reclaim.test.ts tests/test-layout.test.ts tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts tests/clients/client-runtime-restart.test.ts tests/clients/link-parity-reporter.test.ts tests/clients/link-peer-compatibility.test.ts tests/clients/client-home-unreachable.test.ts tests/windows/windows-secret-acl.test.ts tests/windows/windows-secret-acl-removal-flight.test.ts tests/responses/chat-request-id-endpoint.test.ts tests/responses/responses-translated-reset.test.ts tests/routing/routing-analytics.test.ts
# 671 passed, 1 Linux-only platform skip, 0 failed; 19 files

Typecheck, privacy scan, structure check, file-size ratchet and whitespace checks passed on the final head. Frozen docs installation and the docs build passed after integrating OCX-11 (593 pages / 84,783 internal links); the final three upstream commits changed no docs-site inputs. Existing sshconfig-highlighting and chunk-size warnings remain. Independent read-only integration review of the final 20-file diff found no concrete regressions. The final rebase from the initially validated 20d554f01 base to 299e8b68b replayed all ten commits unchanged according to range-diff; the final test batch additionally covers those last three upstream changes.

The full/import-connected suite was not repeated for this bounded rebase: earlier controlled broad runs took about twenty minutes and their recorded failures/attribution limits remain applicable. Native Linux/Windows behavior and hosted CI/security approval for this new head remain separate requirements; platform skips are not acceptance evidence. No backend lint is configured; GUI lint is outside the changed paths. The PR remains subject to the repository's readiness reset after a rewritten head.

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds structured loopback ownership results, bounded link diagnostics, and credential-free authentication timeout classification. The relay correlates failures with request IDs and allows one recovery attempt for eligible pre-dispatch deadlines. It does not replay request bodies after dispatch.

Changes: Link relay diagnostics and recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Structured loopback ownership checks src/server/port-reclaim.ts, src/client/link-tunnel.ts, tests/server/port-reclaim.test.ts, tests/clients/client-link-tunnel.test.ts	Loopback inspection returns classified results and elapsed time. The tunnel supervisor reports check context and rejects stale results.
Authentication deadline classification src/client/link-relay-transport.ts, tests/clients/link-relay-bound-transport.test.ts	fetchBoundLinkRelay validates the authentication timeout and distinguishes credential-free deadlines from cancellation and post-authentication failures.
Bounded diagnostic recording and wiring src/link/diagnostics.ts, src/client/runtime.ts, src/client/machine-listener.ts, tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts, tests/clients/client-runtime.test.ts, tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout-clients.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json	The diagnostic sink validates metadata, limits writes, protects rotating JSONL files, and flushes during runtime cleanup. Tests verify persistence, bounded writes, and file protections.
Relay preflight recovery and correlation src/client/link-relay.ts, tests/clients/client-link-relay.test.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-link.md, structure/remote-link.md	The relay assigns request IDs and permits one recovery attempt for eligible pre-dispatch deadlines with fresh ownership checks and socket authentication.

@coderabbitai review

Checked all published inline comments, reviews and the summary against current head 1390a38fa.

• The clock-rollback finding (4340084543) is already fixed in 6e87a3303, confirmed by CodeRabbit and resolved. Both ordinary and full-queue rollback regressions still pass.
• Addressed the useful API documentation gaps behind the older docstring warning: privacy/sanitization, bounded best-effort persistence and flush, typed admission versus diagnostic evidence, fresh ownership fencing and certified pre-data retry. Fixed the tunnel description attached to the wrong interface. No executable code changes; Bun emits identical JavaScript for all five files. Please reassess the metric on the current head rather than the older 1993ff review.

Current validation: 255 passed / 1 platform skip / 0 failed across the ten regression files; typecheck, privacy, structure, file-size and whitespace checks passed. Independent scoped review found no issues. The earlier broad-suite failures and attribution limits remain documented; no green broad suite or maintainer security approval is claimed. PR remains draft.

- Line 51: Update the diagnostic write flow using the existing hardening
helpers: import and call reattributeHardenedSecretPath(path) after
file.write(line) when windows is true, rather than adding pathname-only
memoization. Keep replacement handling unchanged so replaced files still clear
the memo and are hardened normally.

Review comments at @tests/clients/client-link-runtime.test.ts:
- Line 124: Update the signal test definition around the closing call to pass an
explicit 60-second timeout using the existing watchdogMs helper, ensuring
default Bun and focused invocations exceed the local 15-second watchdog.

@coderabbitai review

Updated head: 1b964f07bfb11da3256b1244276becf7c9de4636.

Both repeat-review findings are fixed and their threads resolved with implementation/validation details:

• Windows diagnostic appends retain the existing ACL memo only after descriptor/path identity verification and handle close. Regression was red before the fix and green afterward; file replacement and later permission changes still trigger hardening.
• Signal-drain subprocess tests use watchdogMs(60_000) and pass under focused Bun without a timeout override.

Fresh validation: 113 affected-graph tests and 189 ACL tests passed; the two signal cases also passed with default Bun options. Typecheck, privacy, structure, file-size and whitespace checks passed. Independent four-file review found no issues. The existing full-suite exception and native-Windows validation gap remain documented in Verification.

On the new head the current CodeRabbit success status says “Review skipped: draft pull request”, so it is not evidence of a fresh review. Please review the new delta manually. The retained 56.67% docstring warning does not list uncovered functions; please identify any specific missing production contract documentation rather than requesting redundant test-callback comments.

Hygiene, labels and enforce-target have successful runs on the new head. No product-test CI success is available: previous-head Cross-platform CI / Catalog async contracts / React Doctor require fork-workflow approval. This contributor has no upstream maintain/write permission to approve them. PR remains draft pending product CI and maintainer security review.

@lidge-jun @Ingwannu, could you make a review, please?

[Ingwannu]

Reviewed the full 19-file diff at a2bc3e84db086812a6ee14801b3b5982abd4ac50, including the credential-free preflight boundary, fresh socket/owner proof, one shared recovery budget, metadata allowlist, bounded queue/rotation and shutdown drain. I approved the three existing ordinary fork workflow runs after separate execution-trust review. That is not a technical/readiness approval.

Independent Bun 1.4.3 / Linux validation under isolated homes and the bounded cgroup produced 254 passed / 3 platform skips / 1 failed across the ten affected integration/layout files. Repeating that same batch reproduced the same failure:

tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts:205, “Windows diagnostic appends reuse ACLs only until the file or its permissions change”: after the chmod-to-0400 / chmod-back-to-0600 pair and append, expect(grants).toBe(3) receives 2. Running that test alone passes (1 passed / 8 assertions). This establishes a batch-sensitive test failure; it does not establish a native Windows permission vulnerability or the precise cause.

Please make the permission/freshness transition deterministic (the existing ACL stat-reader seam can explicitly prove that the observed freshness changed), retain the replacement/permission-change assertions, and verify both isolated and normal affected-file execution. Do not clear this by removing the third-grant assertion or merely extending an unrelated timeout. The exact current-head hosted CI and native platform coverage remain separate requirements; skipped platform cases are not acceptance evidence.

[arikon]

@Ingwannu addressed in fe19493. The existing setStatForTests seam now makes the permission-phase ctimeNs transition explicit, and asserts unchanged real dev/ino plus changed observed freshness. Real file replacement, the chmod pair, ACL reuse checks and expect(grants).toBe(3) are retained. The reader resets in finally. No production or timeout changes.

Bun 1.4.3 verification, using the isolated test, full diagnostic file and the same ten-file wrapper batch (commands/results added to the PR description):

• macOS arm64: 1 pass, 9 pass, final batch 257 pass / 1 platform skip / 0 fail. The initial batch overlapped static checks and had two unrelated real-lsof deadline failures; the ACL case passed. Running the batch without that overlap passed.
• Linux x64, isolated Podman container capped at 4 GiB / 2 CPUs / 256 PIDs: 1 pass, 9 pass; batch 254 pass / 3 platform skips / 1 fail. The ACL test passed. The remaining failure is the sibling-recycle subprocess test timing out waiting for exit, also reproducible in isolation. Restoring the original test (parent head a2bc3e8, identical container/dependencies) reproduces that isolated failure too. Its root cause remains unclassified; I am not claiming a green Linux batch.
• Both relevant scratch mutations are detected: ignoring freshness fails the third-grant assertion (3 vs 2); removing memo reattribution fails the reuse assertion (1 vs 2). Static gates and independent review passed.

Native Windows coverage and hosted CI for the new head remain separate requirements; platform skips are not acceptance evidence. The full suite was not repeated for this one-test follow-up, and earlier broad-suite limits remain documented.

Withdrawing my prior batch-sensitive ACL-test blocker: the exact follow-up makes observed freshness deterministic without removing grant/replacement assertions; independent current-head ten-file batch now passes 255 tests with 3 platform skips. This does not approve the full PR or waive current-head CI/native coverage.

[Ingwannu]

Re-reviewed the complete follow-up delta at fe19493e3d5c2ef82606a00e625bd6adb83552a0: only tests/clients/link-diagnostics.test.ts changed from the previously reviewed a2bc3e84db. The stat seam keeps real device/inode data, explicitly changes observed ctimeNs after the chmod round trip, retains the replacement and third-grant assertions, and resets the seam in finally.

Independent bounded Bun 1.4.3 / Linux re-run of the same ten-file batch from my prior review: 255 passed / 3 platform skips / 0 failed, 1,601 assertions. Files: link-diagnostics, client-link-relay, link-relay-bound-transport, client-link-tunnel, client-runtime, client-link-runtime, client-machine-listener, port-reclaim, test-layout and test-layout-tooling. My prior ACL test blocker is therefore withdrawn/dismissed. This is scoped verification of that fix, not native Windows validation or whole-branch approval. The previously approved workflow runs were for the old head; current-head CI execution and results are separate.

@Ingwannu Rebased

[lidge-jun]

Carried onto the latest dev (5f7f7db57) as the base of a follow-up branch, sweep/link-failed-recovery. All ten commits replayed with their authorship unchanged. The only conflict was the first-line JSON entry in tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json; the resolution keeps both the new service-proxy-env.test.ts entry from dev and link-diagnostics.test.ts. No review thread on this PR was unresolved at carry time, so no code changed during the carry.

The follow-up PR builds on the bounded link/diagnostics.jsonl sink and the typed admission results from this PR:

• Failed Home-initiated tunnels retry on a doubling delay, and a missing listener port is no longer terminal.
• ssh's remote port forwarding failed is classified as remote_forward_conflict.
• The Home records each tunnel transition in the same diagnostics file, and ocx link status can show attempts, the next retry and the last failure.
• A Child's /readyz reports whether the link can carry a request.

The follow-up includes Co-authored-by: Sergey Belov <peimei@ya.ru>, so the squash credits this work. If the follow-up lands, it supersedes this PR; if this PR lands first, the follow-up rebases onto it and the carried commits drop out.
