// aidlc-knowledge.ts — the DocumentKB tool: index a customer's documents into a
// committed, searchable catalog.
//
// Two directories, and the split between them is load-bearing:
// knowledge/documents/ USER-managed originals. Their folder structure is
// theirs — nested by topic, by customer, however they
// like — and this tool NEVER reorganises it.
// knowledge/documentkb/ TOOL-managed, derived, and safe to rebuild from
// documents/ at any time.
//
// That gives the invariant the whole design rests on: documentkb/ is
// RECONSTRUCTIBLE. Delete index.json and `sync` rebuilds it from documents/ plus
// each surviving document's own metadata.json. Nothing unrecoverable lives only
// in documentkb/.
//
// NOT from the audit ledger, which an earlier draft of this comment claimed:
// rebuildIndex() reads the filesystem only, and the sole audit call in this file
// is the WRITE side. The distinction matters for what a reader expects to
// survive -- deleting a per-document metadata.json really does lose that row's
// tombstone, and no ledger replay brings it back.
//
// Every write goes through the journaled transaction: take the workspace lock,
// stage outside it, re-validate the source digest inside it, then `rename()` the
// finished tree in as the single commit point. An earlier draft of this comment
// said `onboard` "writes directly, which is why it is not yet safe under
// concurrency" — true when it was written, stale since the transaction landed.
//
// THE READ BOUNDARY. Every path this tool touches came from somewhere it does
// not control — a CLI argument, a directory walk, or a committed index row — so
// four shared guards apply, and none is optional:
// 0. THE ANCHOR ITSELF is trusted first (assertKnowledgeRootTrusted): no
// container on the way down to documentkb/ may be a symlink;
// 1. the shape is validated (aidlc-documentkb-schema.ts): relative, POSIX,
// no `..`, no NUL, real digests;
// 2. no path COMPONENT is a symlink (assertNoSymlinkInChainOrThrow) — a walk
// that validates a container and then trusts its contents will read a
// symlinked file inside an already-trusted directory;
// 3. containment is re-checked AFTER realpathSync, the contained identity is
// retained, and readRegularFileNoFollowOrThrow requires the opened
// descriptor to match it before reading.
//
// Steps 2 and 3 are separate on purpose. A containment check on the resolved
// leaf answers "does this land inside?" but not "did we travel through
// something that can be repointed later".
//
// Step 0 was MISSING until 2026-08-08, and its absence made steps 1-3 decorative
// on the write path: they all protect paths BELOW an anchor that was itself
// resolved with realpathSync and then trusted. A symlink AT `documentkb/` was
// therefore obeyed, and a measured `onboard` wrote the whole catalog outside the
// project (and, pointed inward, into the user's own documents/). Guarding the
// contents of a container you have not verified is guarding the wrong thing.

* The SPACE-level audit shard: `spaces/<space>/intents/audit/<host>-<clone>.md`.

* helper -- it means "resolve one from the cursor": `auditFilePath` -> `recordDir`
* -> `activeIntent`, which falls back to the active-intent pointer and then to a
* lone intent. The space shard is only reached when `recordDir` returns null,
* i.e. when the space has no intents at all. So a first probe in an empty space
* looks correct and the same call starts filing into `intents/<slug>/audit/` the
* moment any intent exists.
*
* That is exactly what the first build of this transaction did. DocumentKB rows
* MUST NOT land in an intent's shard: a document outlives any intent, and
* `associate`/`dissociate` can move its scope later -- filing its provenance
* under whichever intent happened to be active would split one document's
* history across shards and make it unreconstructible.
*
* `intentsDir()` IS the space record root (`spaceRecordRoot` is a private alias
* for it), so this composes the same path the null branch of `auditFilePath`
* composes, without touching shared code.

/**
* THE WRITE-SIDE FUNNEL for every mutable path under `documentkb/`.
*
* `assertKnowledgeRootTrusted` anchors the chain down to `documentkb/` ITSELF,
* but a container can be trusted while what's INSIDE it is not: `.journal` or a
* document id directory can independently be a symlink, planted after
* `documentkb/` was created honestly. Measured against the shipped tool
* (2026-08-11):
*
* documentkb/.journal -> /outside `collectStaleJournals` (called from
* both `sync` and standalone) `rmSync`ed
* an external victim file THROUGH the
* link, exit 0, "Up to date."
* documentkb/<id> -> knowledge/documents `sync`/`associate`/`rebind` wrote
* `content.md` and `metadata.json` into
* the user's OWN originals folder.
*
* So containment must be re-checked per COMPONENT of the requested descendant,
* exactly like `resolveContainedPath` already does for a read — this is that
* same discipline applied to the write side. `journalDir`, `journalTxnDir` and
* `documentDir` below are the intended path-builders for every mutation under
* `documentkb/`; today every `mkdirSync`/`rmSync`/`renameSync`/`writeFileAtomic`/
* `writeBufferAtomic` target below `documentkb/` is `join()`'d off one of their
* return values (or off the bare, unextended `documentkbDir()`/`indexPath()`
* anchor). That is a fact about the CURRENT body of this file, not a property
* this function enforces — nothing here stops a future export from calling an
* fs primitive directly against a hand-built path under a different name.
* `documentDir`, `journalDir` and `journalTxnDir` are convenient, not
* mandatory: a rename defeats "convenient" every time. What actually catches a
* new unguarded call site is
* `tests/unit/t289-knowledge-onboard-boundary.test.ts`'s pinned COUNT of raw fs-
* mutation calls plus a per-call-site provenance trace back to the funnel or
* the bare anchor — routed around the parameter/name a call happens to use,
* not keyed to it. A miscounted or unrouted new call site fails that test, not

* turned out to be. So the anchor itself was the one unguarded link in the chain,
* and the consequences were measured, not theorised (2026-08-08, whole-slice
* review, against the shipped tool):
*
* documentkb -> /tmp/elsewhere `onboard` wrote index.json, metadata.json,
* content.md and source.sha256 OUTSIDE the
* project. Exit 0, no warning.
* documentkb -> documents the derived catalog landed INSIDE the user's
* own documents/ folder -- the exact directory
* this tool promises never to reorganise.
*
* Anyone who can drop a symlink at `knowledge/` or `knowledge/documentkb/` -- a
* hostile branch, a tarball, a careless `ln -s` -- therefore chose where every
* subsequent write landed. That is an arbitrary-file-write primitive over a
* customer's repository, so this is a REFUSAL and never a repair: silently
* replacing the link would destroy whatever it pointed at.
*
* Called from every command handler AND from inside each exported entry point
* (`onboard`, `syncDocuments`, `listDocuments`, `showDocument`,
* `setIntentAssociation`, `rebindDocument`). Both, deliberately: the handler call
* fails early, before `--intent` resolution does any work, and the in-function
* call is what protects a caller who imports the module and skips `main()`
* entirely. Review measured that bypass -- an in-process `onboard()` against a
* redirected `documentkb` wrote the catalog off-project with the handler guard in
* place -- and while no in-repo caller does that today, these signatures take a
* plain `(projectDir, space)` and give a future importer no hint that anchoring
* is required. Cheap (a handful of `lstat`s) and idempotent, so paying for it
* twice per invocation costs nothing worth measuring.
*
* SCOPE, stated rather than implied: this catches a symlink that is present when
* the command starts. It is not a defence against a race -- an attacker who can
* plant a symlink DURING the run, between this check and a later write, wins, and
* closing that would mean re-anchoring after every intermediate mkdir and rename
* inside the transaction. That residual risk is accepted: it requires a process
* already co-resident on the filesystem and timing a several-hundred-millisecond
* window, which is a far stronger position than the threat actually defended
* here -- a hostile branch, tarball, or clone that lands a symlink before anyone
* runs anything.
*
* Absent directories are FINE: a first run legitimately has neither `knowledge/`
* nor `documentkb/` yet, and a path component that does not exist cannot redirect
* anything. `assertNoSymlinkInChainOrThrow` already treats ENOENT that way.
