fix(memory-sources): use the native directory chooser and never store a bare folder name#5832M3gA-Mind wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
… a bare folder name
The folder memory-source picker is an `<input type="file" webkitdirectory>`.
That element carries no filesystem path: Chromium exposes one on the
non-standard `File.path` only when the renderer has filesystem-aware
integration. Outside that renderer the handler fell back to
onChange(first.webkitRelativePath.split('/')[0]);
which is the chosen directory's NAME with its location discarded. A user who
picked a folder got a source storing `docs`, and every sync then failed
forever with `folder does not exist: docs`. Re-adding the same folder with a
hand-typed absolute path worked immediately on the same build.
Browse now calls the OS-native directory chooser through a new
`pick_directory_via_dialog` Tauri command, which returns an absolute path in
every renderer and on every platform. It is backed by `rfd`, already in this
shell for `save_artifact_via_dialog` (tinyhumansai#3162), so there is no new dependency,
no dialog plugin, and no capability-allowlist entry.
The `webkitdirectory` input is kept as the fallback for a browser context and
for a host with no working dialog, but it can no longer produce a bad value:
when `File.path` is absent it reports `no-absolute-path` and the field shows
an error instead of saving a name that cannot resolve. Hand-typed absolute
paths are untouched, which matters because that is the current workaround.
Not added: existence validation at save time. The native chooser can only
return a directory that exists, so the path this fixes is already covered by
construction, and a hand-typed path that does not exist yet is a legitimate
thing to configure ahead of creating it. Checking it from the renderer would
need a new filesystem-read command and a new trust boundary for what the
issue itself asks be only a hint.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe folder memory-source picker now uses a native Tauri directory dialog, validates absolute paths, supports a browser fallback, reports unresolved paths, and adds localized error messages. Tests cover native and browser path-selection outcomes. ChangesFolder picker integration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Browse can still save the wrong location, such as a parent folder or file path, which may cause unintended files to be indexed or syncs to fail. The selected absolute path is also written to logs and may expose private directory names. These issues should be fixed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In the shipped desktop context, this invoke is denied by Tauri's ACL because pick_directory_via_dialog was registered in generate_handler! but was not added to any permission TOML or to capabilities/default.json; the neighboring artifact dialog commands require explicit allow-artifact-* grants. The catch then converts that denial to unavailable, so Browse falls back to the pathless webkitdirectory input and the new native chooser never opens. Add an allow permission for this command and include it in the main-window capability.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Do not log the selected absolute path.
Line 72 writes the selected path to the application log. The path can contain user names and sensitive directory names. Log only that a directory was selected, or redact the path.

Return the selected folder, not its parent or a file path.
For /Users/you/notes/readme.md with notes/readme.md, this returns /Users/you, one level above the selected folder. For a Windows path, the separator mismatch makes cut negative and returns the full file path. The browser fallback can then index unintended files or fail because the stored value is not a directory.
Normalize separators and reconstruct the selected root folder. Update the related assertions in app/src/components/intelligence/__tests__/folderPicker.test.ts.

Closing this — the native chooser it adds cannot run in the renderer the app ships. Recording the findings so none of the work is lost. What was right, and should come backThe refuse-to-store guard is correct and valuable. On The Rust half is also correctly wired — Why it cannot work as written
export async function pickDirectoryNatively(): Promise<FolderPickResult> {
if (!isTauri()) return { ok: false, reason: 'unavailable' };and The app runs CEF. Measured on a live build: 66 CEF helper processes, a per-user So Worth stating plainly to avoid repeating it: this PR moved off Why CI did not catch it
What a replacement needs
#5831 stays open — the defect it describes is real and still unfixed. Only this approach is being withdrawn. Current workaround for users: type an absolute path. That works today and is unaffected by any of this. |

Summary
webkitdirectoryfallback can no longer store a value that cannot work: whenFile.pathis absent it reports an error next to the field instead of saving the bare directory name.rfd, already in this shell — no new dependency, no dialog plugin, no capability-allowlist entry.Problem
AddMemorySourceFields.tsxrendered Browse as<input type="file" webkitdirectory>. That element carries no filesystem path. Chromium exposes one on the non-standardFile.pathonly when the renderer has filesystem-aware integration, which the code's own comment said outright. Outside that renderer the handler fell through to:A user who picked a folder got a source storing
docs. Every sync then failed, once per cycle, indefinitely:Re-adding the same folder with a hand-typed absolute path worked immediately on the same build, same reader, same module. Only the path form differed.
The failure surfaces at sync time, far from the picker that caused it, and it never stops. Nothing in between could repair it, because there is nothing to repair:
docsis not a relative path, it is a name whose location was thrown away.Why openhuman#5830 / tinycortex#158 do not cover this
Those resolve a relative path against the workspace, which is correct and unrelated. Resolving
docsgives<workspace>/docs— still not the directory the user chose. The user would get a different wrong answer with a better error message.Solution
1. A native chooser (
pick_directory_via_dialog)What the app already had, since the brief asked. There is no
@tauri-apps/plugin-dialoganywhere in this repo, and no existing frontend directory-picker helper. What does exist isartifact_commands::save_artifact_via_dialog(#3162) — a native Save-As dialog driven by therfdcrate, declared inapp/src-tauri/Cargo.tomlwithdefault-features = false+xdg-portal(which is what keeps Linux off GTK). Its module doc records that it deliberately talks to the OS dialog APIs directly rather than pulling a Tauri dialog/fs plugin, after aschemarsversion conflict.So this follows that precedent instead of adding the plugin the issue suggested: a sibling command in a new
directory_pickermodule, ~15 lines, using the samerfd::AsyncFileDialogalready compiled into this shell. No new dependency, no plugin, no capability entry, no permissions surface to get wrong across three platforms.It takes no input and returns only what the user chose in an OS-owned dialog, so unlike the artifact commands there is no path to re-validate — that is noted in the module docs so the asymmetry does not read as an oversight.
2. Never store an unusable value
Selection logic moved into
folderPicker.tsas two pure-ish functions returning a tagged result:{ ok: true, path }cancelledunavailableno-absolute-pathwebkitRelativePathis deliberately no longer consulted as a fallback. Its first segment is the defect, not a degraded-but-usable answer.3. Existence validation at save time — considered, and not added
The native chooser can only return a directory that exists, so the path this PR fixes is covered by construction. A hand-typed path that does not exist yet is a legitimate thing to configure ahead of creating it, which is why the issue asks for a hint rather than a rejection. Checking it from the renderer would need a new filesystem-read command and a new trust boundary for what is explicitly only a hint, and that is a bigger change than the defect warrants. Worth doing as its own piece if the hint is still wanted.
Testing
app/src/components/intelligence/__tests__/folderPicker.test.ts— 10 tests, all passing.Revert-check
Restoring the pre-fix fallback (
return { ok: true, path: webkitRelativePath.split('/')[0] }) fails the new assertions, reproducing the exact production value from the issue:The other 8 keep passing, so the two that fail are the two that pin this defect.

Impact
Desktop and browser. No migration, no schema change, no config change. Existing folder sources are untouched — this only changes what a new selection can produce. A source already poisoned with a bare name still needs re-adding; nothing here can recover the location that was discarded when it was saved.
