Saving a file through writeFileStringAtomically replaced its permission bits with the process default. On Linux with umask 0002, changing a provider setting turned a 0600 settings file into 0664. The helper also renamed without syncing the file or parent directory.
Preserve an existing target's POSIX 0777 permission bits and use 0600 for a new file. Sync the temporary file after applying its mode, close its handle before rename, then sync the parent directory. Open the directory before writing so an unreadable parent fails without replacing the target. Propagate genuine sync failures; log unsupported directory-sync errors. Preserve symlinks and the Windows rename retry behavior.
New files are owner-only; existing wider modes remain unchanged. POSIX directories must be readable for directory sync. Windows syncs the file and skips POSIX chmod and directory sync.
Fixes #14967
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #14967. This changes only the shared atomic writer and its regression tests.
Server-only change; visual fixture matrix is empty. Runtime checks used the real dev server and Chromium at 1280×800, UID 1000, umask 0002, and isolated state. Settings → Providers → disable Claude persisted the changed setting in both runs.
| Evidence | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Settings save | 0600 → 0664 on 3b95e7831b — runtime-before.txt | 0600 → 0600 on c93d54e713 and integrated e90726614b — runtime-after.txt |
| Regression tests | Three behavioral failures: widened modes and missing syncs — red-tests.txt | 18 helper tests pass — green-tests.txt |
No render paths changed. Native Windows/macOS behavior and hardware power-loss durability were not tested; durability evidence establishes sync ordering and error handling. A directory-sync failure can report failure after replacement has become visible. The integrated runtime check used a fresh isolated home because main rejected the copied database's unrelated divergent migration history.

Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Atomic saves now preserve existing file modes and sync writes to disk. New POSIX files default to owner-only access, so the intended impact on shared settings and state consumers needs confirmation.

The atomic writer preserves existing permission bits and uses 0600 for new files. It syncs the temporary file before rename and, on non-Windows platforms, syncs the target directory afterward. Tests cover permissions, sync behavior, directory-open failures, and cleanup failures.

0f3c1The atomic writer now preserves file permissions and syncs the file and its directory. The remaining uncertainty is native Windows and macOS behavior, which was not tested, and that alone does not make this a merge risk.

Explanation
[#14967] packages/shared/src/atomicWrite.ts preserves the existing target mode with fs.stat and applies 0600 for a new file. It writes through one handle, applies the mode, syncs the temporary file, closes the handle through scoped release, renames the file, and syncs the parent directory. It propagates non-unsupported directory-sync errors. atomicWrite.test.ts covers modes, sync ordering, EIO failure, and ENOTSUP handling.
Explanation
The reviewed changes are limited to packages/shared/src/atomicWrite.ts and packages/shared/src/atomicWrite.test.ts. The production changes implement [#14967]. The added tests verify the writer's permission, durability, error, cleanup, symlink, and platform behavior. No unrelated change is shown.

Fixed the privilege-dependent test in 80f3935e01. It now injects the parent-directory open failure through FileSystem and verifies that the exact error propagates while the original contents remain intact. All 18 helper tests pass; scoped format and lint checks pass apart from the existing polling warning. Production code is unchanged.

Addressed the cleanup-test nit in 2aa9cc7e91: the test now records and asserts exactly one cleanup attempt and checks the remaining directory matches that attempted removal. All 18 helper tests pass; format is clean and lint retains only the pre-existing polling warning. Production code is unchanged.
