Let config_write set a file's mode, uid and gid#1840

The config_write agent tool always wrote files with mode 0444 and owner 0:0, or kept what a file already had. ployz config put could set --mode, --uid and --gid, but the agent and ployz mcp couldn't.

config_write now takes optional mode, uid and gid and passes them to PutConfigFile. They apply to every file in the call. The CLI writes one file per call, and a per-file map would cost catalog bytes.

mode is a FileMode, the same type and parser the CLI uses. The schema pattern ^0?[0-7]{1,3}$ accepts exactly what FileMode::parse accepts (1 to 4 octal digits, at most 0777). A bad mode is refused with field: "mode".
uid and gid are u32, like the CLI's id flags.
When an input is left out, the Store keeps the file's current value, or uses 0444 / 0 for a new file (config_item/mod.rs). That matches the CLI's defaults.

Gate: unchanged, never asks. Writing a config file is staged and destroys nothing, and neither ployz config put nor the dashboard's Save asks first.

Catalog size: 49,460 B, under the current 49,500 B cap. Only mode has a description. uid and gid speak for themselves.

Docs: docs/user/services/configs.md no longer says custom permissions are CLI-only. It says the dashboard can't set them yet and points to the agent or the CLI. The dashboard control is a separate item.

Proof: config_write_sets_permissions_and_a_later_write_keeps_them writes with 0440/1000/1001, rewrites the text without them and checks the permissions stay, then checks that 1777 is refused on mode. agent_tools snapshot reblessed with PLOYZ_BLESS=1.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- When writing config files through supported tools, you can set a file’s permission mode and user/group IDs. Leave any of these options unspecified to preserve their existing values. Invalid permission modes are rejected.
Documentation
- Clarified that custom file modes and user/group IDs cannot be set in the dashboard, and described setting them through the CLI or by providing file text to the agent.

Config writes now accept optional mode, UID, and GID values and pass them to PutConfigFile. Tests cover setting and preserving these values, and reject mode 1777. Documentation identifies the CLI and Ployz agent as options for setting custom file attributes.

Changes: Config file attributes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Optional file attributes `core/crates/ployz-store/src/tools/config.rs`, `core/crates/ployz-store/tests/snapshots/agent_tools.json`, `core/crates/ployz-store/tests/agent_tool_calls.rs`, `core/crates/ployz-store/tests/agent_tools.rs`, `docs/user/services/configs.md`	`ConfigWrite` accepts optional mode, UID, and GID values and passes them to `PutConfigFile`. The schema snapshot and tests cover these attributes, including omitted values and rejection of mode `1777`. The catalog size limit is updated. The documentation describes setting custom attributes through the CLI or Ployz agent.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature · Unblocks: 3 PRs

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 58f9e

Config writes can now set file mode and ownership, with coverage for applying and retaining those values and rejecting an invalid mode. No actionable merge risk was established.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 58f9e

The change adds meaningful control over configuration-file access, but retains staging, existing organization boundaries, and read-only container mounts. No new authorization bypass was established. Hosted authorization and end-to-end deployment behavior were not fully verified.

Retained concerns No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The new authority covers every supplied file in the selected Config and, after deployment, every service consuming that shared Config. It is not limited to the optionally named attachment service. The new fields select ownership and permissions, not arbitrary host paths or another resource class.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — MCP local writes carry the bound Actor, and hosted writes forward the existing credential. Store project resolution filters by the Actor's organization before resolving and locking the target environment. The new fields do not supply another identity.
observed — ConfigWrite retains the default Never approval gate and its staged-write behavior. The PR expands model-controlled attributes, but does not remove an existing approval step. CLI config writes already expose the same attributes through PutConfigFile; FileMode prevents special privilege bits.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — The local materializer creates a 0600 temporary file, writes and syncs content, applies ownership and permissions, then renames it into place. Error cleanup attempts to remove the temporary file. File identity hashes content together with UID, GID, and mode, so different attribute sets do not reuse the same final pathname.

_{_{P2 Badge}} Limit the claim that the agent can edit permissions

For an existing file whose text is not already in the conversation, this recommendation cannot be followed safely: config_write still requires a nonempty files map and replaces each supplied file's content (core/crates/ployz-store/src/tools/config.rs:25-27), while the tool catalog has no Config read/inspect operation and environment_show returns only Config names (core/crates/ployz-store/src/tools/environment.rs:92). Asking the agent merely to change a mode, UID, or GID therefore requires the user to provide the complete content again or risks overwriting it; limit this claim to creating/rewriting files, or add a read or metadata-only operation.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L6-L6

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

NNickOct 13, 2026

Fixed in 40dfc64. No agent tool reads a Config file's text, so the doc now says you set permissions when you write the file, from the CLI or by giving the agent the text. ployz config put rewrites the text too.

Run this Store test through the shared backend helper.

shop() hardcodes SQLite, so this test does not exercise PostgreSQL. The migration-only exception does not apply to this normal Store behavior test. Use backend::open() and include agent_tool_calls in the PostgreSQL CI target.

Not changing this. Every test in agent_tool_calls.rs runs on SQLite on purpose: it tests the tool step machine, not the Store backends. config_item.rs already covers storing mode, uid and gid on both backends. Moving this file to Postgres would be a separate change.

CcoderabbitaiBotOct 13, 2026

@nick-potts Thanks for clarifying. This test checks the tool step machine, not Store backend behavior. config_item.rs already covers storing mode, uid, and gid on both backends. My request to move this test to PostgreSQL was misplaced. I withdraw the finding.

Store backend coverage belongs in separate tests. core/crates/ployz-store/tests/config_item.rs covers storing mode, uid, and gid on both SQLite and PostgreSQL. Do not require agent_tool_calls.rs to use the shared backend helper solely because a tool test exercises Store writes.

When one assistant response contains project_rename followed by another tool that omits project/environment, the sidebar resolves here.place only once before the entire tool batch. Since project_rename commits immediately and is not among the gated calls rejected from multi-call batches, the other call retains the old project name and can fail with not_found if the rename lands first; parallel execution also makes the outcome race-dependent. Require project_rename to run alone or refresh the shared place before subsequent calls.
