Summary

Add snapshot-aware file reads and batched edits with stale-content rejection and checkpoint undo/redo. Long tool loops persist compaction working state before replacing context. Interactive turns support safe steering, cancellation, queued follow-ups, and explicit request-ID approvals through a single terminal reader.

Review fixes preserve corrections through cancellation and verification repairs, retain corrections at iteration limits, avoid cancellation callbacks under locks, freeze captured provider requests, enforce snapshot workspace permission checks, and account for all successful provider iterations. The global cache eviction test is isolated from concurrent context tests.

Validation

  • dotnet build SharpClawCode.sln --configuration Release --warnaserror — zero warnings/errors
  • Full Debug suite: 450 passed (302 unit, 128 integration, 20 parity)
  • Release validation: 128 integration and 20 parity tests passed; all 302 unit tests passed after isolating the shared-cache test
  • Targeted runtime, snapshot, approval, cancellation/resume, compaction/replay, and verification regressions
  • Cross-platform CI runs on this PR; local validation used macOS

Risk and compatibility

  • Existing tool JSON, permission modes, checkpoint formats, and result envelopes remain compatible; new events and tools are additive
  • Dangerous file and shell operations retain existing permission gates
  • No credentials, local state, or generated secrets included

Compaction uses configurable token estimates rather than provider tokenizers. Snapshot publication rechecks decoded text before replacement but cannot provide an OS-level compare-and-swap against external editors. These boundaries are documented in docs/interactive-runtime.md.

Minor follow-up Avoid a full session event-log read on every repair attempt.

48-48: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Avoid a full session event-log read on every repair attempt.

Each repair attempt reads the whole session event log and then keeps only this turn's TurnSteeredEvent items. IEventStore has no turn-scoped read, so each read grows with total session history. Consider adding a turn-filtered read to IEventStore, or reading only events appended since the last read.

Update the repair-attempt event retrieval around IEventStore.ReadAllAsync so it

events are missed.
Minor follow-up Build the edited text in one pass instead of concatenating per edit.

43-44: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Build the edited text in one pass instead of concatenating per edit.

Each loop iteration in ExecuteAsync builds a new copy of the full file. With up to 100 edits, the cost scales with the edit count times the file size. No file size limit applies before this loop, so a large file with a full batch causes this cost.

Suggested fix
+using System.Text;
-        var updated = text;
-        foreach (var edit in edits.Reverse())
-            updated = string.Concat(updated.AsSpan(0, snapshot.Offset(edit.StartLine)), edit.NewText, updated.AsSpan(snapshot.Offset(edit.StartLine + edit.DeleteLineCount)));
+        var builder = new StringBuilder(text.Length);
+        var copiedUntil = 0;
+        foreach (var edit in edits)
+        {
+            builder.Append(text, copiedUntil, snapshot.Offset(edit.StartLine) - copiedUntil);
+            builder.Append(edit.NewText);
+            copiedUntil = snapshot.Offset(edit.StartLine + edit.DeleteLineCount);
+        }
+        builder.Append(text, copiedUntil, text.Length - copiedUntil);
+        var updated = builder.ToString();

The edits are already sorted ascending and checked for overlap, so one forward pass gives the same result as the reverse pass. The updated == text check and the write path stay unchanged.

Minor follow-up Bound the file size before readfilesnapshot builds a snapshot.

10-11: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Bound the file size before read_file_snapshot builds a snapshot.

read_file_snapshot reads the entire file before it returns a window of at most 500 lines. The read has no size cap. FileTextSnapshot then hashes a full UTF-8 copy and builds a full line index, even for a one-line request. For very large or line-dense files, this adds allocation and CPU work proportional to the file size. Add a file-size limit before the read, or compute the window without indexing the whole file.

27-27: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Acquire semantic-write.lock in write_file and edit_file before they read the file.

edit_file_snapshot holds the lock, but write_file, edit_file, and undo/redo do not. Another session can write between the snapshot editor's compare and move. The snapshot edit then overwrites that change, and its undo record holds stale content.

Suggested fix for WriteFileTool
         var arguments = DeserializeArguments<WriteFileToolArguments>(request);

Minor follow-up Cap the characters returned for each snapshot line.

32-34: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cap the characters returned for each snapshot line.

limit caps the number of lines, not the length of each line. A single long line, such as one from a minified file, is returned in full in Content, Output, and StructuredOutputJson. That full result stays in the recent tool exchange. When the retained context estimate plus SummaryMaxTokens reaches the budget, AutomaticContextManager.PrepareAsync throws InvalidOperationException before the provider request is sent. Limit each returned line to a fixed character count, and mark the cut.

Suggested fix

Nitpick Add a test that runs SpectreReplTerminal through a cancelled read.

141-148: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test that runs SpectreReplTerminal through a cancelled read.

SpectreReplTerminal.ReadLineAsync keeps pendingRead after a cancelled wait, because Console.ReadLine cannot be cancelled. No test creates a SpectreReplTerminal. The MaxReaders assertions measure only the test Terminal fake. A change that starts a second Console.ReadLine after a cancelled wait would not fail any test.

A fake whose read stays pending does not cover this path, because it does not run the production pendingRead logic. Test the production class with a blocking reader:

  • Install a blocking TextReader with Console.SetIn before the first read starts.
  • Count ReadLine calls on the reader. Signal from the reader when each call begins.
  • Cancel the first wait. Start a second read, then release the reader. Assert that the second read returns the line from the first physical read.
  • Check for an extra read with a bounded wait on the start signal after the second read completes. An immediate count check can pass before a new read starts.
  • Bound every wait with a timeout.
  • In finally, release the reader and restore the original reader with Console.SetIn. A failed assertion then does not leave a blocked read or a replaced console input.
  • Place the test in an xUnit collection that does not run in parallel with other console-dependent tests, because Console.SetIn changes process-wide state.

Nitpick Check the second token after the first flow cancels.

72-73: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Check the second token after the first flow cancels.

The second flow checks its cancellation token at line 72. The first flow cancels its own handle at line 73. The two flows start from the same ready signal, so their order is not fixed. If first cancels before second reaches line 72, a regression that cancels all handles fails the test. If second reaches line 72 first, the test passes, and no check runs after the cancel.

Add a check that runs after first cancels. Use a second signal so that second waits for the cancel:

Nitpick Add REPL coverage for steering that is still pending when a turn settles.

171-173: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add REPL coverage for steering that is still pending when a turn settles.

Steering_at_iteration_limit_remains_available_as_follow_up checks only that the message stays in the live handle. It never runs ReplHost, and it never reads a follow-up prompt. The enqueue of pending steering in the finally block of RunControlledPromptAsync (src/SharpClaw.Code.Commands/Repl/ReplHost.cs:152-154) can be removed without failing any test. The existing REPL tests cover ordinary queued text, not pending steering.

Add a case to ReplLiveControlTests that:

  1. Runs the first prompt with a tool-iteration limit of one. The current Services helper does not set one.
  2. Sends /steer Keep the API unchanged. before that turn settles.
  3. Lets the turn settle. Then reads the next TurnExecutionResult from renderer.Results and asserts that result.Turn.Input equals "Keep the API unchanged.".

This test would fail if the queued.Enqueue(pending) hand-off were removed.

Add an unfinished primary-run compaction case to the replay test.

The unfinished-turn assertion at lines 124-126 uses an event with IsPrimaryRun=false. Compaction selection filters on that flag, so the event is ignored. A change that makes unfinished turns read primary-run compaction would still pass this test.

Cover the post-staging recheck with a test that changes the target during staging.

The test at SnapshotEditingTests.cs:111 leaves the target already different from the expected text. A comparison moved before staging would produce the same false, so the test does not protect the ordering. Write stale to the target. Build the writer with new ConditionalFileWriter(decorator), where the decorator delegates to the real IFileSystem. In WriteAllTextAsync, when the path is the temporary path, overwrite the target with external. Then assert that WriteAsync returns false and that the target still contains external. This test fails if the recheck runs before staging, because the target passes that check and the file is then published.

Add a test for cancellation that arrives during the precheck read.

The existing cancellation test passes an already-canceled token. The staging write returns a canceled task before it opens the file, so the ThrowIfCancellationRequested() check at ConditionalFileWriter.cs:17 never runs in that test. Removing that check leaves the suite passing. The interface documents that cancellation before publication leaves the target untouched, and no test checks that guarantee.

124-128: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a symbolic-link case for the snapshot read tool.

The snapshot test covers only ../outside. The symbolic-link test covers write_file through the shared boundary rule. A regression confined to the snapshot read path would not fail any test.

On platforms or accounts that cannot create symbolic links, the test returns early.

Review comment at @tests/SharpClaw.Code.UnitTests/Tools/SnapshotEditingTests.cs
around lines 124 - 128:
Add a symbolic-link boundary test alongside the existing snapshot read test:
create an in-workspace symlink to an outside file, invoke read_file_snapshot on
the link, and assert the result fails and permission is denied. Clean up the
outside file in a finally block, and skip the test when symlink creation is
unsupported or disallowed.

…paction pinning

- Stage snapshot replacements with the target's Unix mode before writing
  content, and report a target deleted mid-staging as stale.
- Document that snapshot publication does not keep owner/ACLs/xattrs.
- write_file and edit_file take the shared semantic-write lock.
- REPL: keep the session open on non-provider prompt failures; return
  nonzero for unknown slash commands and failed custom commands; keep
  the last exit code on idle Ctrl+C.
- Compaction: check the summary budget only once compaction is needed,
  and pin the turn's original request as well as the latest correction.
- Keep provider-reported usage when the response text is empty.
- Add coverage for staging recheck, precheck cancellation, snapshot
  symlink escape, unfinished primary compaction, and cancel isolation.
