Summary

scripts/test-run-lock.ts guarded the Bun test run with a lock rooted in /tmp, so two users
on the same machine serialised against each other's runs. PR #2949 identified that correctly and
moved the lock under the home directory, which trades one coupling for a worse one. This
reimplements the intent on a machine-local, per-user runtime root.

Reimplements #2949 (thanks @luvs01 for the diagnosis).

Why not the home directory

Three failure modes, all reachable in environments this project already supports:

  • A network-mounted home puts one lock in front of several hosts, while the liveness check uses
    host-local PIDs. One host can reclaim a lock another host is actively holding, or block for the
    full 45-minute timeout behind a PID that coincidentally matches.
  • A container home that is unavailable or read-only throws EACCES/ENOENT from inside the lock
    before test discovery, so the failure does not name the cause.
  • startsWith(tmpdir()) is not a containment check. It misjudges a TMPDIR of /, /home, or
    the home directory itself.

The fix

A resolver that picks a root which is by construction machine-local and user-private:

  • POSIX: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR when it exists, is writable, and is owned by the current uid; otherwise
    a mode-0700 uid-scoped directory under tmpdir().
  • Windows: the OS temp/profile result, without consulting $USER — Bun resolves the home through
    uv_os_homedir there, so $USER is not required.
  • A machine discriminator in the lock name, so a redirected or network-mounted path still cannot
    couple two hosts.
  • An immediate, actionable error when no safe root exists, instead of an EACCES from deep inside
    the lock.

The containment assertion is now a real path-containment check.

Verification

Based on dev@47b8d1643.

  • bun test tests/test-runner.test.ts28 pass, 2 skip, 0 fail
  • bun x tsc --noEmit → clean

New cases: two distinct users, one shared home across two distinct hosts, Windows with USER
absent, the validated temp fallback, an unwritable/unsafe root, and a TMPDIR that is a string
prefix of the home. Windows behavior is covered by deterministic platform simulation rather than a
native run.

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
    • Test-run locks now use user- and machine-specific locations, reducing conflicts between separate environments.
    • Added validation and safer fallback behavior when runtime directories are unavailable, unsafe, or unwritable.
    • Improved lock path handling across POSIX and Windows systems.
  • User Experience
    • Updated test-runner messages to refer to the “user lock” for clearer status information.

A home-rooted lock can couple separate machines while PID liveness remains host-local, and inaccessible homes fail before discovery with raw filesystem errors.\n\nResolve a validated user runtime from XDG or a private UID temp namespace, include a host discriminator, and surface actionable failures. Cover cross-user, cross-host, Windows, fallback, unsafe-root, and path-containment cases.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The test-run lock now uses validated, user-scoped and machine-local paths. POSIX and Windows resolution rules include secure fallbacks and hostname separation. Lock acquisition reports unavailable default storage clearly. Related messages and tests now use “user lock” terminology.

Changes

User-scoped test-run locking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime path resolution and validation
scripts/test-run-lock.ts
Adds injectable filesystem and resolver options. Validates runtime directories, derives a hostname hash, and creates a private UID-based fallback path.
Lock acquisition integration
scripts/test-run-lock.ts
Uses the resolver for implicit paths. Explicit paths remain unchanged. Default-path storage failures receive a specific error.
User-lock validation coverage
tests/test-runner.test.ts
Tests user and host isolation, Windows behavior, unsafe runtime fallback, unavailable storage, and POSIX/Windows path containment.
User-lock message updates
scripts/test.ts, tests/preload.ts
Changes lock-wait messages from “machine lock” to “user lock”.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0fcb

The change improves isolation for the fallback lock location, but shared-writable runtime directories can still let another local user interfere with the lock and block test execution for up to the timeout. This bounded local infrastructure risk requires owner awareness and remediation or explicit acceptance before merge.

설명

지금 dev HEAD(dca16949b, #2952 README asset check)의 Bun 테스트 락은 scripts/test-run-lock.ts에서 join(tmpdir(), "opencodex-bun-test.lock") 한 경로를 씁니다. 같은 머신에 사용자가 둘이면 서로의 테스트가 45분까지 줄을 서고, 공용 /tmp에 락 디렉터리를 먼저 만들어 두는 식으로 다른 사람 실행을 막을 수도 있습니다. 그래서 “사용자 단위로만 직렬화하자”는 방향은 맞고, 그걸 먼저 시도한 열린 PR이 #2949입니다. #2949는 락을 homedir()/.opencodex-bun-test.lock으로 옮깁니다. 홈이 NFS·공유 스토리지면 PID 생존 검사는 호스트 로컬인데 락 파일은 여러 호스트가 공유하게 되어, 한 호스트가 다른 호스트 락을 뺏거나 우연히 같은 PID 뒤에 45분을 기다리게 됩니다. 컨테이너에서 홈이 없거나 읽기 전용이면 테스트 발견 전에 EACCES/ENOENT만 나고 원인 설명이 없습니다.

이 PR(#2962)은 #2949를 닫고 다시 짠 버전입니다. 기본 락 경로를 resolveDefaultTestRunLockPath로 고릅니다. POSIX에서는 존재·쓰기·현재 uid 소유가 확인된 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR을 쓰고, 안 되면 tmpdir()/opencodex-test-runtime-<uid>를 mode 0700으로 만든 뒤 그 안에 둡니다. Windows는 OS temp/profile(절대경로·쓰기 가능)만 보고 $USER는 보지 않습니다. 락 이름에 호스트명 SHA-256 앞 16자를 넣어, 경로가 네트워크로 리다이렉트돼도 호스트끼리 같은 락을 잡지 않게 합니다. 기본 경로를 쓸 때 EACCES/ENOENT/EPERM/EROFS면 “런타임 디렉터리가 깨졌다”는 메시지로 감쌉니다. scripts/test.ts·tests/preload.ts 문구만 “machine lock” → “user lock”으로 바꿉니다. tests/test-runner.test.ts에 사용자 분리, 공유 홈+다른 호스트, Windows USER 없음, XDG 실패 후 0700 폴백, 전부 쓰기 불가, 문자열 prefix 오인(예: home이 /home의 prefix) 케이스가 들어 있습니다. 프로덕션 어댑터·카탈로그·쿼타 열차와는 겹치지 않는 테스트 인프라 수정입니다.

라인 단위 문제

scripts/test-run-lock.ts resolveDefaultTestRunLockPath POSIX 폴백 - mkdirSync(..., { mode: 0o700 }) 직후 mode가 정확히 0700인지 검사합니다. Node/Bun mkdir는 process umask를 적용해서, 흔한 umask 022면 실제 모드는 0500이 되고 “does not have mode 0700” 또는 W_OK 실패로 XDG 없는 CI·컨테이너·SSH 세션에서 폴백이 항상 깨질 수 있습니다. mkdir 직후 chmodSync(path, 0o700)을 넣거나, 파일시스템 시암에 chmod를 노출한 뒤 강제하는 편이 안전합니다. 지금 통과한 로컬 검증은 umask가 0700을 보존하는 환경이었을 수 있습니다.

PR 본문 “containment assertion” - 실제 path 포함 검사는 tests/test-runner.test.ts의 pathIsContainedBy에만 있고, 프로덕션 resolveDefaultTestRunLockPath는 join으로 경로를 만들 뿐 런타임 containment assert는 없습니다. 설계상 join이면 충분하지만, 본문 표현은 테스트 헬퍼 기준이라고 읽는 게 맞습니다.

#2949와의 관계 - 같은 파일을 고치는 선행 PR이 아직 OPEN입니다. 이 PR이 맞는 재구현이므로 #2949를 superseded/landed-via로 정리하지 않으면 기여자·봇이 둘 다 열린 줄 압니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • umask→chmod 보강을 머지 전에 필수 수정으로 볼지, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR가 있는 환경만 공식 지원으로 두고 폴백 실패를 허용할지
  • #2949를 이 PR 머지와 동시에 close(superseded / landed-via-maintainer)할지
  • Windows에서 temp가 사용자별로 안 갈리는 특수 환경을 추가 시나리오로 볼지(일반 AppData\Local\Temp는 사용자 스코프라 보통 충분)

너의 추천

umask 이슈만 짧게 고친 뒤(mkdir 후 chmod 0700) dev에 머지하고, #2949는 이 PR 번호로 superseded 처리 후 닫는 것을 추천합니다. 카탈로그/쿼타 열차와 충돌하지 않으니 독립 랜딩이 맞습니다.

P2 Badge Include the Windows user in the default lock identity

When two Windows accounts resolve tmpdir() to the same directory—such as when TEMP/TMP are unset and both fall back to the system temp directory—the lock name contains only the hostname, so their test runs still share one lock and can block or reclaim each other. Include an OS-derived user identity such as the account SID in the name, or select a directory whose ACL is verified as account-private.

P2 Badge Reject non-private XDG runtime directories

When XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is owned by the current UID but group- or world-writable, this accepts it without checking its mode, allowing another account to create, remove, or replace the predictable lock path and block a test run for up to 45 minutes. Apply the same private-mode validation used for the temp fallback, or otherwise reject directories writable by other users.

Denial of Service (CWE-377): Insecure Temporary File

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Require exclusive access to every accepted runtime root.

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the Windows temporary directory are accepted after caller-writability checks only. Another local identity can pre-create the predictable lock directory with a live owner.json. mkdirSync(lockPath) then returns EEXIST, and the test runner waits on attacker-controlled state.

Require mode 0700 for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. On Windows, use a user-profile root or validate an ACL that denies other identities create, write, and delete access. Add regressions for a mode-0733 XDG root and a shared Windows temp root.
