Summary

Windows drive paths (C:\...) were rebuilt with backslashes in breadcrumbs, browse results, diffs, and path joins. They now use /, which Windows and Node accept and which does not break markdown file links.
A drive path outside the workspace is no longer shown as project/C:/... (#27308).
Agent instructions now say to write paths with / and to wrap a path that contains a space in angle brackets (#26685).
UNC paths (\\server\share) are unchanged.

Test plan

Node check of drive-path joins, home expansion, markdown link decoding, breadcrumbs, and the #27308 display case
vp test run for path.test.ts, fileLinks.test.ts, markdownLinks.test.ts, filePath.test.ts, filePathDisplay.test.ts, runtimeInstructions.test.ts, and WorkspaceEntries.test.ts

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 2cb7c96

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Windows drive paths are standardized to forward slashes across browsing, links, and rendering, while UNC handling remains separate. The change is limited to path representation and introduces no material operational or data-management risk.

Walkthrough

The change standardizes Windows drive paths to forward slashes across shared path utilities and application consumers. UNC paths retain backslash handling. Workspace browsing, file-link parsing, diff paths, runtime instructions, and path-display tests also change.

Changes: Windows Drive Path Normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Drive and UNC path semantics `packages/shared/src/path.ts`, `packages/shared/src/path.test.ts`, `packages/shared/src/fileLinks.ts`, `packages/shared/src/fileLinks.test.ts`	Shared path resolution and file-link handling use forward slashes for Windows drive paths. UNC paths retain backslash handling.
File-link parsing, diff paths, and runtime path rules `packages/shared/src/markdownLinks.ts`, `apps/web/src/lib/diffRendering.ts`, `packages/provider-core/src/server/runtimeInstructions.ts`, `packages/provider-core/src/server/runtimeInstructions.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/fixtures/*`	Markdown-link and diff paths normalize Windows drive separators. Runtime instructions and recorded fixtures specify slash-separated drive paths and angle brackets for paths with spaces. The configured byte limits increase.
Application path display `apps/mobile/src/features/files/filePath.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/files/filePath.test.ts`, `apps/mobile/src/features/threads/fileChipMenu.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/files/filePath.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/files/filePath.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/filePathDisplay.ts`, `apps/web/src/filePathDisplay.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/markdown-links.test.ts`, `apps/web/src/terminal-links.test.ts`	Mobile and web path handling uses forward slashes for drive paths. Windows absolute paths outside the workspace remain absolute instead of entering the relative-path fallback.
Workspace browse paths `apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.ts`, `apps/server/src/workspace/WorkspaceEntries.test.ts`	Workspace browsing normalizes returned parent and entry paths. The browse test applies the same normalization to expected paths.

Keep UNC paths out of the drive-path rule.

parseMarkdownFileLink rejects a destination that starts with //. The current instruction can therefore turn \\server\share\file.png into a link that cannot open in the files viewer. Use / only for Windows drive paths. Preserve UNC paths, or use file://server/share/... when the path is on the current workspace share. The rule can also change a valid POSIX filename containing \ into a different path.

Suggested fix

diff

1	-Write every file path with `/`, never `\`, including Windows paths.
2	+Write Windows drive paths with `/`. Preserve UNC paths such as `\\server\share\file.png`. For a UNC path on the current workspace share, `file://server/share/file.png` is also supported.

Fixed in a7ea9cb. The instruction now covers only Windows drive paths (C:/Users/...). UNC paths and POSIX backslashes are no longer mentioned, so they stay as written.

CcoderabbitaiBot4d ago

@maria-rcks The updated instruction addresses this finding. It limits / to Windows drive paths and no longer directs changes to UNC paths or POSIX backslashes.

Two P2 findings on exact HEAD 2cb7c966b15b0d0a7229331ac8a000fab0ee9cf1.

Keep path parsing/citation round-trips lossless. The PR normalizes the value returned by parseMarkdownFileLink, not only the path used for display. The unchanged regression in packages/shared/src/codexMarkdownDirectives.test.ts explicitly records #12243: copied Codex citations keep their literal backslashes. Exact-head Actions #42092993273 fails both renderCodexDirectivesForCopy and renderCodexInlineDirectivesAsMarkdown for C:\\Users\\test\\[draft]\\report.md; the parser now returns a slash-normalized path instead of the literal path. Keep the stored/copy-round-trip path lossless and normalize only the display/breadcrumb representation, or otherwise preserve the explicit #12243 contract with a focused test.
Scope the runtime instruction to Windows drive-qualified paths. The new instruction says every file path must use / and never \\, including Windows paths. That is broader than slashWindowsDrivePath, which intentionally changes drive paths only. The same path module documents that UNC/device paths can trigger Windows NTLM authentication and that agent-authored paths must not reach them; isNetworkPath recognizes both slash and backslash prefixes. A blanket instruction can lead an agent to rewrite \\\\server\\share as //server/share, which is still a network path, and it also changes a valid POSIX filename containing a literal backslash. State that only Windows drive paths use forward slashes; explicitly preserve/reject UNC and device paths according to the existing policy, and preserve literal POSIX backslashes. Add the corresponding instruction regression rather than testing only for the broad phrase.

Exact-head CI is red, not a qualification pass: normal PR Actions #42092993273 has Lint FAILURE (formatting in apps/mobile/src/features/files/filePath.ts); Test Web FAILURE (2 path-output expectations still require Windows backslashes); Test FAILURE (2 Codex citation round-trip failures above); and three Test Server shards failed. Inspected server logs include Kiro replay fixture timeout(s) and an AgentContextBudget.test.ts mismatch (expected claudeSystemAppendBytes: 5133, measured 5299) after this PR lengthens runtime instructions without updating the measured budget. Build and Typecheck and Release Smoke succeeded; Mobile Fingerprint succeeded; Rust and Mobile Native Static Analysis were skipped. Do not treat the unrelated-looking Kiro timeout as proof of a source defect, but the failed checks remain real. The candidate is 1 ahead / 5 behind current main, so these are not composed-current-main results.

No merge recommendation is possible until the path round-trip/security instruction findings are corrected and the normal exact-head checks are green.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Takeover fixup, pushed as a7ea9cb and 6fc2435, then 785ef94 merges current main:

parseMarkdownFileLink no longer rewrites backslashes, so parsed and copied link paths stay lossless (fixes the codexMarkdownDirectives #12243 round-trip failure).
The agent instruction now says only "Write Windows drive paths with /". UNC and POSIX paths are left alone.
terminal-links.test.ts and markdown-links.test.ts expect slash-joined drive paths, matching this PR's join behavior.
Replay fixtures (Muse, Kiro) and the mobile fileChipMenu test match the new instruction text and slash-joined drive paths.
785ef94: the agentContextBudget.json conflict is resolved to current main plus this PR's 153 bytes (5519 / 7249, MCP 48119 unchanged from main). AgentContextBudget.test.ts passes.

Agent context budget stays red until a maintainer adds the agent-context-increase label: the instruction adds 153 bytes per turn. No model eval has been run for the new instruction text.

vp run check:changed passes on 785ef94: format, lint, knip, typecheck (34 packages), 13 test files (297 tests).

Add a before-fix regression case for Windows file links.

The current unit test checks only that the new instruction text is present. Add or extend the closest MCP eval case so the model must produce an openable link for an absolute Windows path containing spaces, such as ![alt](<C:/Users/First Last/shot.png>). The case must fail with the old instructions and pass with the new instructions. Run the comparison and include the relevant results.

Changed-head review of 6fc24357f02acef620e49674d58a27f0261616ea (PR #31639, target main).

The two P2s from review #5791132022 are addressed in this delta:

parseMarkdownFileLink no longer rewrites the decoded path, restoring the #12243 copied-Codex-citation round trip.
The runtime wording now applies forward slashes only to Windows drive paths, rather than telling agents to rewrite UNC paths and literal POSIX backslashes.
The #27308 formatter regression now covers external C:/, C:\, and D:/ paths plus an in-workspace control.

Normal exact-head PR Actions #42111617998 completed successfully. The selected changed-path logs show: WorkspaceEntries.test.ts 24/24; web filePath.test.ts 21/21 and filePathDisplay.test.ts 2/2; provider-core runtimeInstructions.test.ts 3/3; shared markdownLinks.test.ts 49/49, path.test.ts 62/62, and fileLinks.test.ts 18/18; mobile filePath.test.ts 8/8. Build/Typecheck, Lint and aggregate Check passed.

P2 — required model-behavior evaluation is missing. This PR changes the runtime instruction seen by the agent, not just static copy. Root AGENTS.md says to run the evals named by evals/README.md for model-facing text changes and to add a case that fails before a model-behavior fix. The MCP eval README likewise requires a before/after case comparison. No eval file is changed in this PR; the current runtimeInstructions.test.ts only checks that the new literal text is present, and the author states in the PR discussion that no eval covers this path. Please add a before-fix MCP case requiring an openable Markdown link for an absolute Windows drive path containing spaces (for example ![alt](<C:/Users/First Last/shot.png>)), with ordinary-path and UNC/POSIX-preservation controls, then report same-model/same-shell before/after results. This reviewer did not run the model eval: the documented path invokes model/proxy services and has a real cost; no paid fallback or new spend was authorized.

Separate qualification failure: exact-head Agent context budget workflow #42111619884 failed because both measured contexts grew by 153 bytes (Claude append 5,133→5,286; Codex additional context 6,863→7,016). The PR currently has labels vouch:unvouched, size:L; no agent-context-increase label is present. The workflow itself says to trim the added text and rerun the relevant evals, or obtain the maintainer-controlled label. Do not bypass this check or alter resource policy.

Finally, current compare is 4 commits ahead / 5 behind main. The normal PR run is exact-head evidence, not a current-main-composed run. After the eval and budget disposition, forward-sync through the author/maintainer path and rerun normal admitted qualification on the resulting exact head.

No additional source P1/P2 was demonstrated in the reviewed path changes. The mobile resolveWorkspaceFilePath direct-drive branch still lacks a focused helper-level assertion; I leave that as a low-priority test follow-up, not a second P2.

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Not addressed in this takeover. Adding an eval case and running paid before/after samples is left to the maintainer's call on the agent-context-increase label; if the label is declined, the instruction line can be dropped instead.
