Martin Vogel 7f3e30e1e1 fix(daemon): let a shipped build relocate the rendezvous via CBM_RUNTIME_DIR
The daemon/CLI rendezvous directory is created under %LOCALAPPDATA% (Windows) or
/tmp -- /private/tmp on macOS -- and every ancestor of it must pass the
private-directory walk. That ancestry is not always acceptable, and when it is
not, EVERY invocation fails, `config list` included, so the settings surface
cannot be reached either:

    codebase-memory-mcp: secure daemon endpoint could not be created

#1623 narrowed the Windows side of this by admitting AppContainer package and
capability SIDs on ancestors, and named the remainder explicitly: a live local
group, Authenticated Users inherited from a secondary volume root, and orphaned
unresolvable SIDs still refuse, and "those need CBM_RUNTIME_DIR or a separate
change". #1621 is the POSIX shape of the same dead end -- /private/tmp/cbm-daemon-<uid>
refused with no way to move it.

There was no way to move it in a shipped build. The only relocation hook,
CBM_TEST_DAEMON_RUNTIME_PARENT, is compiled out unless CBM_ENABLE_TEST_SEAMS is
defined, so a test build started while the shipped build did not; CBM_CACHE_DIR
is no help either, because it moves the cache and never the rendezvous.

CBM_RUNTIME_DIR names the parent directory the rendezvous is created under. It
does NOT relax the check: the directory it names goes through exactly the same
validation as the default -- ancestors owned by you or root, not world-writable,
no allow-ACL; the rendezvous directory itself still forced to owner-only -- and a
value that fails is refused rather than silently replaced by the default. The
operator only chooses an ancestry that passes. cbm_safe_getenv never truncates,
so no half of an over-long value can become a runtime parent.

The override is resolved in cbm_daemon_bootstrap_endpoint_new(), the one function
every product endpoint goes through: the daemon, the MCP client, the local CLI,
the index worker, and the install/update/uninstall activation path in cli.c. No
call site can silently keep the default, and the detached daemon inherits the
value with the rest of its environment. An explicit parent still wins, so the
compile-time test seam and the lifecycle guards' isolated namespace behave
exactly as before.

Approach and variable name from #1576 by Leonardo trindade miranda, resolved one
layer lower so the activation path is covered too.

Martin Vogel 7fa5b07718 feat: enforce one workspace boundary on every indexing entry point
Routes the MCP index_repository handler and the graph UI's POST /api/index
through a single decision function. The UI route previously checked only that
root_path was a directory, so an operator's configured boundary held on one
entry point and not the other; it now canonicalizes first and applies the same
policy, answering 403 with the reason.

The decision is two-tier, because a bare default-deny would refuse every
first run and a bare opt-in leaves the default open:

- Breadth is always enforced, with nothing configured. Filesystem, drive and
  share roots, top-level system trees, the home directory itself and
  credential directories are refused as indexing roots out of the box.
- Containment in a declared root applies once CBM_ALLOWED_ROOT is set or a
  grant exists, and is evaluated first so a path outside a configured root is
  reported as exactly that.

Three things the tests caught, each a real defect rather than a test fix:

- On macOS /etc, /tmp and /var are firmlinked under /private, so
  canonicalizing "/etc" yields "/private/etc" and counted two deep — sailing
  past a minimum of two, missing the very path being guarded. Depth now
  discounts a leading "private" component.
- An earlier draft refused any root containing the cache directory. That was
  over-claimed: the indexer only parses recognised source files and a graph
  database is binary SQLite it would never extract. Refusing a whole root is
  also the wrong remedy where the concern does hold — not walking the cache
  is. Removed, with the reasoning recorded at the site.
- Rewording the refusal to "outside every allowed root" broke an assertion
  matching "outside the allowed root", and that test's early return skipped
  its CBM_ALLOWED_ROOT cleanup, leaking the variable into every later test in
  the suite. The original wording is kept and guidance appended instead.
  Worth remembering: these contracts match strings, not properties.

Docs updated in the same change, since both env-var tables said "unset
imposes no restriction" and that is no longer true: CONFIGURATION.md and
README.md describe the two tiers, and CONFIGURATION.md lists the always-
refused roots along with the two limits that matter — this constrains scope
rather than sensitivity, and the credential list is a denylist that raises the
cost of a mistake rather than closing the class. SECURITY.md's supported-
versions table was still on 0.8.x and now reads 0.9.x.

Martin Vogel 0baddf7887 daemon: permanent lifecycle, daemon-backed CLI/hooks, real-Windows hardening, long-path launcher transactions
Daemon lifecycle and Windows correctness, verified on a real Windows 11
ARM64 VM through the maintained test-infrastructure/vm drivers, plus the
macOS and Linux arm64 suites and the container lint gate.

Daemon lifecycle:

- daemon start/stop/status subcommands. `daemon start` launches a
  PERMANENT daemon (spawn shape is byte-exact argv; survives idle
  periods and session ends) and reports an already-active daemon
  instead of failing. Permanence is honored at every stop latch:
  last-committed-client disconnect, host initial-client window,
  coordinator release, and application final-session close — a
  permanent daemon also keeps admitting new sessions after its last
  one closes.
- daemon stop refuses while sessions are active and lists the blocking
  peers (pid/role) that must finish first; an idle daemon drains
  through the activation-shutdown machinery with the ACK ordered after
  connection interrupts. A second stop is idempotent. The wire ops are
  no-cohort first-frame requests with peer fingerprint authentication,
  so stop/status never conflict with an exact-build admission gate.
- One-shot CLI commands now execute through the daemon (index workers
  keep their local supervised path). A cold CLI run that had to spawn a
  temporary daemon prints a hint that `daemon start` removes the
  per-command startup tax; a warm daemon is recycled silently.
- Hooks are connect-only fail-open: with no daemon present the hook
  emits a visible, rate-limited notice (Claude-dialect systemMessage
  plus stderr for other dialects) and always exits 0 — augmentation is
  never allowed to block the caller's tool use.
- Version skew: a newer-build client automatically drains an
  older-build permanent daemon (strict semantic-version triples only;
  dev builds never auto-drain) and the build-conflict message names
  `cbm daemon stop` as the manual escape hatch.

Windows IPC/runtime (real-VM verified):

- ipc(win): persistent pending overlapped ConnectNamedPipe. The accept
  path used to destroy its listening pipe instance on every 20 ms poll
  timeout; a client attaching in the teardown window was severed or left
  on an orphaned pipe object whose HELLO no server handle could ever
  read, absorbing the connect until the client's own timeout expired.
  The pending connect now survives poll timeouts and nothing is
  destroyed while a client could be attaching.
- ipc(win): drain-before-close for final responses. Closing a named-pipe
  server handle can discard a just-sent response before the peer reads
  it (POSIX stream sockets never lose buffered data on close). A bounded
  cbm_daemon_ipc_connection_drain (read-until-peer-EOF; no-op on POSIX,
  immediate on interrupted connections) now precedes close in
  runtime_worker_finish and runtime_reject_inline, so hello-conflict,
  capacity and disconnect acknowledgements reliably reach the peer.
- runtime: CLOSE_INTENT wire frame. A Windows named-pipe client has no
  transport half-close, so close_begin now announces departure with an
  explicit frame (ordered after APPLICATION_CANCEL, before the local
  interrupt); the server releases the client's admission on receipt
  instead of waiting for the handle to close. Admission-drop timing is
  now identical to POSIX shutdown() semantics on every platform.
- runtime(win): client close cancellation. close_begin serializes with
  request publication under the send lock, best-effort sends the active
  token's APPLICATION_CANCEL frame, then interrupts local I/O; the
  server cancels MCP/subprocess work promptly. Contract tests accept
  both correct outcomes (interrupted transport or decoded CANCELLED).
- runtime: activation acknowledgement ordering. The activation ACK is
  the requester's license to act on "snapshotted and draining", so every
  connection interrupt is now initiated before the ACK is sent; a
  session could previously get one more request serviced after the
  requester observed the ACK.
- service(win): deadline-bounded private-file prepare. The conflict-log
  prepare retry loop (100 x Sleep(2), which rounds up to the ~16 ms
  timer granularity) burned ~1.6 s against permanently obstructed paths,
  stalling hello rejections past the client's timeout. The retry budget
  is now a 250 ms deadline; transient share collisions still retry.
- subprocess(win): cmd.exe /C payload encoder quotes metacharacters
  correctly (root cause of the git-on-Windows failure cluster).
- watcher: SHA-256 buffer sizing (CBM_SZ_64 -> CBM_SZ_128) and a native
  Windows stop/unwatch cancellation test with exact-image verification.
- httpd: send_all writes in bounded 64 KiB slices. A single giant
  nonblocking send() on Windows is absorbed wholesale into AFD kernel
  buffering regardless of SO_SNDBUF, so send deadlines and interrupts
  could never engage against a slow peer (and the full payload was
  pinned in nonpaged pool). Slicing restores a deterministic
  backpressure point; a test hook pins SO_SNDBUF for the deadline and
  interrupt tests.
- ui/http: shutdown lifecycle — interrupt checks, response-wide send
  deadline, explicit connection states, refusal to free a server while
  a listener-owned connection is active.

Windows long-path support:

- Central path-aware wide conversion (canonicalize via GetFullPathNameW
  and prepend the extended-length prefix for absolute paths >=240) at
  the compat chokepoints (cbm_fopen/compat_fs/mkstemp/mkdtemp), sqlite
  store opens, and the daemon build-fingerprint/log paths. Deep managed
  installs (a 64-hex generation directory routinely exceeds MAX_PATH)
  now index, stage and activate correctly.
- activation transaction: its own file APIs and the component-walking
  ancestry validators now operate in the extended-length namespace;
  the launcher path is canonicalized (and prefixed when deep) once at
  entry so every downstream exact-string comparison stays
  form-consistent.
- Executable self-resolution uses the wide APIs (GetModuleFileNameW,
  GetFileAttributesW) so non-ASCII install paths survive argv[0]
  resolution.

Windows launcher install/uninstall transaction:

- FileRenameInfoEx names are NUL-terminated in an over-allocated
  buffer. FileNameLength governs per the contract, but filter drivers
  read FileName as NUL-terminated and appended adjacent heap bytes to
  created names — a flaky, garbage-suffixed rename target. Both the CLI
  and the launcher rename helpers are fixed.
- Uninstall retires state via rename-aside (.cbm ->
  .cbm-retired-v1-<tag>-<pid>) with the retired tag shortened to 16 hex
  chars so the bare rename target stays under the FileRenameInfoEx
  NT-conversion ceiling at guard depths; 64 bits still uniquely
  identify the generation.
- When the running launcher's mapped generation backings pin .cbm
  against rename, the backings are relocated to activation-<pid>-N
  .retired tombstones beside the install (a mapped image may be renamed,
  never deleted; the launcher's liveness-guarded sweep reclaims stale
  tombstones). Every relocation is recorded, and a FAILED uninstall
  reverses the moves after restoring .cbm — via MoveFileExW with
  extended-length paths on both arguments, since the deep generation
  target is beyond the handle-based rename's bare-path reach — so a
  restored install keeps its generation backings and stays runnable.
- After a committed uninstall the retired tree's backings are relocated
  out so the tree is shallow enough for the detached cleanup's rd, and
  the cleanup's working directory strips the extended-length prefix
  (CreateProcessW lpCurrentDirectory silently ignores prefixed paths).
- Files created under Administrators-default-owner directories
  (CopyFileW destinations, CREATE_NEW tombstones, probe directories)
  are explicitly owner-stamped so the exact-owner validators hold on
  runner images; guard fixtures stamp hand-built trees the same way.

Diagnostics, tests and infra:

- diagnostics: discovery is now an always-delivered JSON control record
  (new cbm_log_control) that survives CBM_LOG_LEVEL suppression and
  paths containing spaces; placement honors $TMPDIR with /tmp fallback
  via a diagnostics-local helper; the soak parser reads the JSON record;
  documented in docs/CONFIGURATION.md. Red-first coverage for suppressed
  log levels, TMPDIR-with-spaces, and native Windows output-contract
  assertions.
- tests(win): daemon_ipc/daemon_frontend fixtures now build endpoint
  parents with production-shaped ancestry (LocalAppData on Windows, via
  th_secure_runtime_parent_new) — the runtime ancestry validation
  correctly refuses temp roots whose ancestors grant mutation rights to
  Authenticated Users (C:/msys64/tmp, GitHub-runner work dirs) — and
  drive the documented startup-owner publication flow before reading
  generation-bound endpoint addresses. This turns the 26 Windows
  failures previously visible in CI's full-test job green without
  weakening any validation.
- tests(win): the launcher guard covers the full permanent-launcher
  contract including failed-uninstall restore and immediate reinstall
  after uninstall; new daemon lifecycle and reworked hook-augment
  guards run the start/recycle/stop flow end to end.
- tests: CBM_SKIP_PERF is now actually consumed by the test runner
  (it was set by CI but never read, so perf suites ran everywhere);
  four throughput/bench suites are classified as perf, the heavy
  store_arch suite moved to the slow-timeout tier, and two
  wall-clock-sensitive assertions were rewritten as invariant checks
  with coarse hang-detector backstops.
- build/test infra: build-dir safety contract, UI dev-proxy security
  contract, soak daemon-recovery contract, path-safety helper, the
  Windows VM worktree-sync contract wired into scripts/test.sh, and
  vm/win.sh guards building its clean embedded-UI product in an
  isolated BUILD_DIR so it cannot clobber the incremental test build.
  provision-windows.sh now installs Node.js for the guards UI build.
