Request and current status

Composer creation promotes H1; H1 rename/slug machinery exists. Imported/plain first lines are not promoted. Source inspection finds no font-flattening path; mounted font evidence missing.

Acceptance

Show intended H1 title typography; preserve UUID, Markdown, links, metadata and undo on intentional edits/renames. Do not silently mutate or rename merely on opening. Test existing H1/plain/imported notes, appearance changes and reopen.

Keep open until the user-facing outcome is verified in a delivered build. Source review or a successful build alone is not completion.

Worker: task/note-title-presentation; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; state: planned.

Plan: inspect existing NoteEditorSession/NoteEditorHost and projection title presentation paths; implement the smallest note-only first-line-as-H1 presentation for loaded plain/imported notes without mutating on open, while retaining canonical promotion on intentional edit/save and existing UUID/undo/link rename behavior. Add focused tests outside BlockEditorView/MarkdownBlockDocumentTests ownership where possible. I will hand off the candidate to reviewer, then report validation evidence and limitations.

Assumptions: current branch contains the title identity machinery described in DESIGN.md; BlockEditorView.swift and MarkdownBlockDocumentTests.swift remain owned by block agent, so I will coordinate before touching them.

Worker: task/note-title-presentation; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; state: candidate implemented; commit 31d9f475d2bd058bf4af6ff890e10941c9af64d0.

Changes:

  • Sources/CalternalEditor/MarkdownProjection.swift: added disposable leading-line title styling to the projection renderer, scoped to the first plain paragraph line and never changing source bytes.
  • Sources/CalternalEditor/MarkdownBlockDocument.swift: added an explicit presentation toggle that rebuilds projection only; canonical Markdown/undo remain untouched.
  • App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift: derives the toggle on load/source adoption and refreshes it after edits; existing title-save metadata promotion/slug/UUID/link transaction remains authoritative on intentional save.

Assumptions: a note title candidate is only a first paragraph block; bullets, images, code, and existing H1 remain unchanged. The title presentation is disabled automatically once an H1 is authored/promoted.

Validation: git diff --check passed. swift test --package-path . --filter 'MarkdownBlockDocumentTests/testRenderedBulletUsesNativeGutterWithoutChangingMarkdown' passed. The full MarkdownBlockDocumentTests selection built, but the existing testRenderedImageCopyUsesExactSecondTokenAndPortablePayload crashes in xctest with Swift/ContiguousArrayBuffer.swift:692 before assertions; retain this as a QA limitation to investigate. Package build itself completed.

Handoff: reviewer should inspect the renderer's incremental rebuild/title flag interaction and ensure no non-note callers enable it; QA should run focused rendered note/session tests and a VM smoke for plain/imported/existing-H1/reopen behavior.

Exact candidate reviewed: 31d9f475d2bd058bf4af6ff890e10941c9af64d0 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — P1 blocker.

P1 — Editing the visually promoted plain title never enters the canonical title transaction

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3406-3417 (especially the claim at 3408-3409), with the actual save gate at App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3880-3885; existing behavior is proved by Tests/CalternalStoreTests/VaultLinkRepairTests.swift:43-45 and implemented at Sources/CalternalStore/NoteIdentity+Markdown.swift:42-72.
  • What breaks: an imported/plain first line is displayed as an H1, but editing that displayed title and autosaving writes it back as a plain paragraph. It does not add canonical # , update title/slug metadata, mint/preserve the UUID through the title path, rename the filename, or run link repair. Reopen therefore preserves only the visual heuristic and leaves the note identity/title contract incomplete.
  • Why likely: this commit changes projection attributes only. NoteIdentity.saveDecision selects .title only when leadingHeadingTitle(in:) sees a source H1. The existing regression test explicitly expects a plain imported line changed to another plain line to be .bodyOnly; only a source changed to # Imported title becomes .title. Nothing in this commit records first-line title-edit intent or promotes its source.
  • Scoped fix: when an edit actually changes the first displayed title line, promote that exact canonical line to H1 through the existing editor/source transaction and undo path (or pass an explicit session-owned title-edit intent into preparation), then use the existing TitleSave metadata/slug/UUID/rename/link transaction. Do not promote on load or on body-only edits. Add a mounted session test: opening a plain import does not mutate/dirty/rename; editing only its displayed title produces canonical H1 plus metadata and slug filename while preserving UUID/link repair and undo; editing only the body does not promote.

P2 — No focused coverage was added for the new projection/session state, and reported validation is not a clean gate

  • Location: commit-wide; production changes are in MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:182-189, MarkdownProjection.swift:166-224, 890-920, 1083-1087, and eight NoteEditorSession adoption/synchronization paths, but 31d9f475 adds no tests.
  • What can break: first-line-only styling for a multiline paragraph, plain↔H1 toggles, incremental edits after body changes, appearance rebuilds, reopen behavior, and the default-off behavior for generic MarkdownBlockDocument callers are unverified.
  • Why likely: the only reported focused test is an unrelated bullet-gutter test. The broader selection crashed in testRenderedImageCopyUsesExactSecondTokenAndPortablePayload at ContiguousArrayBuffer.swift:692; that failure remains unresolved. The handoff also gives no agents@mbp host/revision provenance, so “package build completed” does not satisfy this repository’s configured build-host evidence.
  • Scoped fix: add focused projection/document and NoteEditorSessionTests coverage for the cases above, investigate or isolate the array crash with evidence rather than treating it as pre-existing, and rerun the appropriate build/tests on agents@mbp recording revision and command.

Positive source checks: presentation defaults off for generic document callers; only global block index 0 and physical line index 0 receive the H1-sized font; load-time setter itself does not mutate Markdown source.

Worker: task/note-title-presentation; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; state: reviewer rejection accepted, implementation in progress.

Reviewer found the candidate only changed projection attributes: editing a visually promoted plain line still saved as a paragraph, so the canonical H1/title/slug/UUID/rename transaction never ran. I will add an explicit first-line edit transition in NoteEditorSession: opening and body-only edits remain byte-verbatim; an actual edit to the displayed plain title inserts # through the document's canonical undo transaction (or raw source transaction), then the existing TitleSave path handles metadata, UUID and coordinated rename/link repair. I will add focused tests for no-op open, body-only edit, and title edit promotion, and record the prior local test host limitation honestly before requesting root's agents@mbp validation.

Worker: task/note-title-presentation; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; state: revised candidate; commit 71c2bc278c22e4f63aede8ca27302a924b44384e (supersedes 31d9f475).

Changes:

  • App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift: detects an actual change to the first plain title line by comparing the pre/post source line; body-only edits and opening remain verbatim. Rendered edits insert # through MarkdownBlockDocument.replaceDisplayRange(..., undoManager:), preserving the canonical editor undo transaction. Raw edits normalize the accepted source before the existing incremental source undo and save path. The existing TitleSave machinery then performs metadata/slug/UUID/path/link repair.
  • App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift: added rendered body-only/title-edit and raw title-edit coverage.

Assumptions: only an eligible first paragraph line can be a plain title; bullets, images, links, code, blockquotes, rules, and existing H1 are excluded. The source transition happens only after an actual first-line edit.

Validation: git diff --check passed. No new local build was run after this revision per the build-host rule; root must run the App/package validation on agents@mbp. Earlier evidence was a local Apple Silicon swift test --package-path . run in this worktree at revision 31d9f475; it built the package and passed the focused bullet test, while the broader selection crashed in testRenderedImageCopyUsesExactSecondTokenAndPortablePayload with Swift/ContiguousArrayBuffer.swift:692 before assertions. That crash remains an unresolved validation item, not dismissed as pre-existing.

Reviewer follow-up: inspect the rendered display insertion/undo grouping and raw source normalization, then QA should run the new session tests plus VM smoke for open/body-only/title edit/reopen/rename-link behavior.

Exact amended candidate reviewed: 71c2bc278c22e4f63aede8ca27302a924b44384e on top of 31d9f475 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — P1 blockers remain.

P1 — Rendered promotion inserts # at display offset zero, not at the first title line

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:1807-1814.
  • What breaks: notes whose body has the normal blank separator before the first content block insert the marker before that blank line. The resulting source begins the body with # instead of # Renamed, creating an empty heading while leaving the edited title a paragraph; the title save gate therefore still cannot derive the intended title.
  • Why likely: VaultFrontmatterStandardFields.splitDocument preserves the exact body after the closing fence, including the separator newline. MarkdownProjectionRenderer emits that pre-block gap, so display location zero maps to the body start, while the first paragraph starts later. The new test fixture itself uses ---\n\nImported, but it does not target or assert the exact source prefix/line location strongly enough to justify offset zero and has not yet been host-run.
  • Scoped fix: insert at the first paragraph block’s canonical source/display start, using the document’s existing mapping/transaction machinery and the same undo group as the title edit. Assert exact source equality after editing, including preserved leading blank lines and # Renamed on the original first content line.

P1 — CRLF notes misclassify the whole body as one line and promote body-only edits

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3432-3469, especially line-break predicates at 3436/3462 and character-distance-to-UTF16 conversion at 3464-3466.
  • What breaks: Swift treats CRLF as one Character. The predicates compare only "\n" and "\r", so they may never find a CRLF boundary. plainLeadingLine then returns the whole body; any body edit changes the alleged title and inserts # at the body start. This violates the no-promotion-on-body-edit rule and can corrupt the first content structure. Character distance is also not a valid general UTF-16 offset for NSString replacement.
  • Why likely: this repository’s existing NoteIdentity.isNoteLineBreak explicitly handles "\r\n", and CoreFrontmatter.swift:230-232 documents this Swift grapheme behavior. The new helpers duplicate that parsing without the CRLF case and use String.distance where the replacement API requires UTF-16 units.
  • Scoped fix: reuse one CRLF-aware first-content-line/range helper and derive the insertion offset from the exact String.Index using UTF-16 distance. Prefer making the existing parser-authoritative first-content range available rather than maintaining a second Markdown classifier. Add CRLF tests proving open and body-only edits preserve bytes/line endings, while a title edit inserts # at the correct content line.

P2 — The new tests do not verify the required title transaction or undo contract

  • Location: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift:370-392.
  • What remains uncovered: neither test flushes the edit or asserts title/slug metadata, renamed filename, UUID preservation, link repair, reopen, or one-step undo/redo. They only check substring presence and isDirty, so a misplaced/empty marker or a source-only half-fix can pass portions of the assertions.
  • Scoped fix: add exact-source and undo/redo assertions for rendered and raw edits, then flush and assert metadata/slug filename/UUID/link repair and reopen. Retain body-only and no-open-mutation cases. Run these through the queued agents@mbp build owner; no local compilation was used for this review.

Positive check: after a correct promotion, plainLeadingLine rejects the canonical H1 on later edits, so repeated promotion is avoided in the ordinary LF/no-leading-gap case. Generic editor presentation remains default-off from the parent commit.

Changes since 71c2bc2:

  • Rendered promotion now maps the first Markdown block's canonical source start through displayRange(forSourceRange:); it no longer inserts at display offset zero before the preserved separator gap.
  • Plain leading-line detection now scans UTF-16 with explicit CR/LF/CRLF handling and returns an exact UTF-16 body offset. It avoids Character distance and preserves CRLF boundaries. Regular inline links remain eligible; images, lists, code, blockquotes and rules remain excluded.
  • Focused mounted session tests now assert exact draft source, body-only no-promotion, rendered undo/redo, flush persistence, title/slug/UUID preservation, coordinated index-link rewrite, reopen cleanliness, and CRLF body/title behavior.

Assumptions: the first eligible paragraph block is the title candidate; an intentional title edit is the only operation that inserts # . Existing H1 notes and body-only edits use their existing paths.

Validation: git diff --check passed. No local build or tests run after the previous review, per the agents@mbp build-host rule. Root should run the App tests/build on agents@mbp and retain exact command/revision evidence. Prior local Apple Silicon build provenance and the unresolved xctest crash remain documented in the preceding issue comment.

Exact amended candidate reviewed: 2c4da5be653b5a3db02b1329120ffff2dee31113 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — one P1 blocker remains.

P1 — The duplicate title classifier promotes non-paragraph first blocks when their content is edited

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3432-3476, especially the hand-maintained exclusions at 3448-3454 and its use from both raw and rendered edit paths at 1748-1749 and 1809.
  • What breaks: editing the first line of a standalone link or table promotes it to # ..., even though those blocks never receive the visual title presentation. For example, changing [Label](target) or the header of A | B\n--- | --- makes oldTitle.text != newTitle.text; plainLeadingLine accepts both because it no longer excludes links and has no table recognition, so the edit is silently converted into a heading and the authored structure is destroyed. This is unrelated-source promotion, not an intentional edit of the presented title.
  • Why likely: presentation eligibility is authoritative from document.blocks.first.kind == .paragraph at 3419-3426. The promotion path separately approximates that parser with regexes. MarkdownBlockDocument.makeBlock classifies standalone links as .link and tables as .table, but this helper accepts their first lines. The same divergence can recur as block syntax evolves.
  • Scoped fix: gate promotion with the same MarkdownBlockDocument block-kind classification used by presentation for both before and after states, and require that exact first paragraph line to have changed. Reuse/expose a small parser-authoritative first-block classification/range seam rather than adding more regex exclusions. Add rendered and raw adversarial tests editing a first standalone link and first table header and assert byte-for-byte preservation apart from the requested edit, with no # insertion or title metadata/rename.

Prior findings resolved in source:

  • Rendered insertion now maps the first block’s source start through displayRange, rather than assuming display offset zero.
  • The first-line scan now handles LF/CR/CRLF in UTF-16 units; the CRLF body-only and title-edit test asserts exact line-boundary preservation.
  • Tests now assert exact draft source, grouped undo/redo, flush into title/slug/UUID filename/link repair, and reopen without dirtiness.
  • A promoted H1 no longer qualifies on subsequent edits, avoiding repeated promotion.

No local build was run for this review. After the parser-authoritative eligibility repair, the exact candidate still requires the queued agents@mbp build/test run and user-facing VM verification. Keep issue #5 open through delivered acceptance.

For example, changing `[Label](target)` or the header of `A | B\n--- | ---` makes `oldTitle.text != newTitle.text`; `plainLeadingLine` accepts both because it no longer excludes links and has no table recognition, so the edit is silently converted into a heading and the authored structure is destroyed. This is unrelated-source promotion, not an intentional edit of the presented title. - Why likely: presentation eligibility is authoritative from `document.blocks.first.kind == .paragraph` at 3419-3426. The promotion path separately approximates that parser with regexes. `MarkdownBlockDocument.makeBlock` classifies standalone links as `.link` and tables as `.table`, but this helper accepts their first lines. The same divergence can recur as block syntax evolves. - Scoped fix: gate promotion with the same `MarkdownBlockDocument` block-kind classification used by presentation for both before and after states, and require that exact first paragraph line to have changed. Reuse/expose a small parser-authoritative first-block classification/range seam rather than adding more regex exclusions. Add rendered and raw adversarial tests editing a first standalone link and first table header and assert byte-for-byte preservation apart from the requested edit, with no `# ` insertion or title metadata/rename. Prior findings resolved in source: - Rendered insertion now maps the first block’s source start through `displayRange`, rather than assuming display offset zero. - The first-line scan now handles LF/CR/CRLF in UTF-16 units; the CRLF body-only and title-edit test asserts exact line-boundary preservation. - Tests now assert exact draft source, grouped undo/redo, flush into title/slug/UUID filename/link repair, and reopen without dirtiness. - A promoted H1 no longer qualifies on subsequent edits, avoiding repeated promotion. No local build was run for this review. After the parser-authoritative eligibility repair, the exact candidate still requires the queued `agents@mbp` build/test run and user-facing VM verification. Keep issue #5 open through delivered acceptance.

Worker: task/note-title-presentation; worktree .worktrees/note-title-presentation; state: frozen candidate for reviewer; commit 1395ff1c25a3a90f24d8719d8d5fd9a53fc55dd7.

Changes:

  • App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift: replaced the hand-maintained title syntax exclusions with a parser-authoritative MarkdownBlockDocument first-block .paragraph check. Exact first-line extraction remains UTF-16/CRLF safe and uses the parser block source range. Standalone links and tables therefore cannot enter the promotion path because they never receive title presentation.
  • App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift: added rendered and raw standalone-link and table-header edits with exact source assertions proving no # promotion.

Prior fixes retained: rendered insertion maps to the first block display/source start; plain opening and body-only edits remain byte-verbatim; title edits use canonical undo and existing TitleSave metadata/UUID/slug/path/link transaction; CRLF boundaries are preserved.

Assumptions: only the parser's first paragraph block is eligible for visual title treatment and intentional promotion. No local build/tests run; root must validate on agents@mbp and preserve command/revision evidence.

Exact amended candidate reviewed: 1395ff1c25a3a90f24d8719d8d5fd9a53fc55dd7 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — P2 performance blocker. The prior parser-correctness P1 is fixed.

P2 — Every edit constructs and fully projects two temporary editor documents

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3434-3453, called twice by promotingEditedPlainTitle at 3468-3469 from the raw and rendered per-edit paths at 1749 and 1809.
  • What breaks: each keystroke/body edit initializes two MarkdownBlockDocument instances for the complete note. Initialization parses all blocks and synchronously calls rebuildProjection, allocating TextKit storage, attributed projection content, attachment/table objects, mappings, and notifications/state only to read blocks.first.kind. This makes typing cost scale with the entire document and adds avoidable allocation/deinit churn, including on body edits that should be unrelated to title presentation. It risks the repository’s key-repeat/scroll responsiveness gate and large-note editing latency.
  • Why likely: MarkdownBlockDocument.init sets blocks = Self.parse(markdown) and immediately calls rebuildProjection(notify: false) (MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:160-165). promotingEditedPlainTitle invokes plainLeadingLine for both before and after source on every accepted edit. Neither temporary object is reused, and only one enum plus a first-line range is consumed.
  • Scoped fix: expose a lightweight parser-authoritative first-block classification/range helper from CalternalEditor that shares the existing block parser rules but does not construct MarkdownBlockDocument, MarkdownProjection, or text storage. Stop after the first block once its kind/range is determined. Alternatively, retain the already-derived presentation eligibility for the before state and classify only the after first block through that lightweight seam. Add an adversarial large-note check proving body edits do not initialize/rebuild extra documents or full projections; do not add a parallel regex classifier again.

Correctness checks now passing in source:

  • Both before and after eligibility use the same block-kind semantics, so standalone link/table edits remain authored structures; new raw/rendered adversarial tests cover them.
  • First-content insertion mapping, CR/LF/CRLF handling, UTF-16 offsets, no-open/body-only mutation, repeated-promotion avoidance, exact source, undo/redo, metadata/slug/UUID rename-link transaction, and reopen coverage remain intact from the preceding repair.

No local build was run. After removing the per-edit document/projection construction, run the exact candidate through the queued agents@mbp tests/build and VM/user acceptance. Keep issue #5 open.

Exact candidate reviewed: 57b873ebdf8b2ff2559fc210310125e7b92920c8 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — prior P2 is reduced but not eliminated.

P2 — firstBlock still tokenizes and allocates every line of the full note twice per edit

  • Location: Sources/CalternalEditor/MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:174-219, especially let lines = SourceLine.split(markdown) at 178; invoked twice by NoteEditorSession.promotingEditedPlainTitle through plainLeadingLine on every raw/rendered edit.
  • What breaks: the new seam avoids MarkdownBlockDocument and TextKit projection construction, but SourceLine.split scans to EOF and builds a SourceLine array containing copied content and full strings for every line. A body keystroke in a large note performs that full-document split twice before examining the first block. Typing cost and allocation therefore still scale with the entire document, contrary to the seam’s “parses only the first nonblank block” claim and the repository’s key-repeat latency constraint.
  • Why likely: SourceLine.split loops until cursor == ns.length (MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:1434-1461). firstBlock cannot stop it after finding the first block. The new method also duplicates the block-boundary decision tree from parse at 1037-1096, so future parser changes can again make eligibility non-authoritative despite reusing low-level classifiers.
  • Scoped fix: factor one shared first-block scanner that advances source lines lazily and stops once the first block boundary is known; have the full parser call the same block-range routine repeatedly. It may need one-line lookahead for tables and continued reads for a multiline first block, but it must not materialize the remainder of the note. Reuse the before eligibility already held by the mounted session/document where possible so ordinary edits require at most one after-state first-block scan. Add a large-tail/instrumented test proving firstBlock does not inspect or allocate lines after the first block boundary.

Correctness review: current before/after semantics match the full parser’s existing grouping branches for paragraph, link, table, fence, list, blockquote, rule, image, and heading cases. Link/table adversarial coverage remains present, no full projection/document object is created, and the earlier first-content/CRLF/UTF-16/title transaction fixes remain intact.

No local build was run. Keep #5 open pending this bounded scanner repair, exact agents@mbp validation, VM behavior, and user acceptance.

Exact candidate reviewed: 5f4ea30fdf97ccd792dfc3ed65976fd0a1342e02 in .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Verdict: REJECT — P1 correctness and P2 performance findings remain.

P1 — Raw edits compare ranges from different coordinate spaces and miss/forge title intent

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:1750-1760, especially NSUnionRange(edit.oldRange, edit.newRange) at 1753; the same mixed-coordinate pattern exists at 1820-1826.
  • What breaks: appending a character at the end of a plain title in raw mode has an old zero-length edit range exactly at NSMaxRange(titleRange), so it does not intersect the cached half-open range and is saved as a paragraph instead of canonical H1. Conversely, inserting a sufficiently long unrelated frontmatter value before the title makes the new-source range numerically overlap the old-source cached title range, falsely promotes the unchanged title, and triggers metadata/rename work.
  • Why likely: sourceEdit.oldRange is in the before source and newRange is in the after source; NSUnionRange cannot give a meaningful range in either coordinate system. Raw mode’s cache is the before-source range. Boundary insertions also need explicit point containment at both the title start and end.
  • Scoped fix: evaluate the cached before-title range only against edit.oldRange, with explicit insertion-point semantics (start...end inclusive for a zero-length old range). Separately prove the first-line text actually changed before promotion; do not infer title intent from a new range crossing an old offset. Add raw tests for append-at-title-end, insertion at start, long frontmatter insertion, and an edit immediately before the title.

P2 — Ordinary edits still copy the full body during cache refresh

  • Location: App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:3439-3459, especially NoteIdentity.leadingHeadingTitle(in: sourceText) and two calls to VaultFrontmatterStandardFields.splitDocument(sourceText) at 3449/3451. This runs from syncSourceFromRenderedDocument on each rendered edit and after raw adoption.
  • What breaks: the bounded scanner is skipped for ordinary body edits, but cache refresh still constructs full body strings (twice directly, plus the title helper’s split) and bridges the body to NSString on every keystroke. Large-note typing therefore retains O(document-size) copying outside the incremental editor pipeline.
  • Why likely: splitDocument returns new String frontmatter/body values; line 3451 materializes the entire body solely to scan the first line. The mounted document already provides the first block kind, source range, and block Markdown, and the session already holds frontmatterPrefix.
  • Scoped fix: derive eligibility solely from document.blocks.first.kind; an H1 is already non-paragraph. Compute the full-source start from cached frontmatterPrefix.utf16.count + block.sourceRange.location, and derive first-line length from the bounded block.markdown, avoiding all whole-source splits in cache refresh. Add an instrumented large-tail test showing an unrelated body edit performs no title scanner or full-body copy.

P2 — The new public first-block seam returns a truncated range for tables ending at EOF

  • Location: Sources/CalternalEditor/MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:202-227, particularly the implicit table-completion test at 214.
  • What breaks: when a multi-line table reaches EOF, the table loop exhausts without clearing next, which still holds the delimiter lookahead. The code then falls into the paragraph branch, consumes/appends that delimiter again, and computes the returned range only through the delimiter, excluding later table rows. Kind remains .table in many cases, but the advertised parser-authoritative MarkdownBlock.sourceRange is wrong.
  • Why likely: next is assigned only when a non-table row breaks the loop; EOF leaves its old lookahead value. next == nil && lines.count > 1 is being used as an implicit table flag.
  • Scoped fix: track an explicit isTable/table-completed branch and never enter paragraph/list/blockquote scanning after table recognition; ensure EOF sets no stale lookahead. Share the block-boundary routine with the full parser to prevent drift. Add table-at-EOF tests with and without data rows and trailing newline, asserting exact kind, Markdown, and UTF-16 range.

Prior improvements retained: no temporary document/projection is built; the first-block reader stops after a bounded block/lookahead; cache is refreshed after adopted structural edits; parser helpers preserve link/table/CRLF classification; canonical promotion still shares the rendered undo group and existing title save transaction.

No local build was run. Keep #5 open pending fixes, exact agents@mbp validation, VM behavior, and user acceptance.

Worker: task/title_completion; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; branch: wave16/note-title-presentation; state: takeover and repair design review in progress.

Ownership of issue #5 title/parser/session files and tests transfers from completed task/note_title_fix to task/title_completion at rejected candidate 5f4ea30fdf97ccd792dfc3ed65976fd0a1342e02.

Accepted findings to repair before a new candidate:

  • Replace mixed old/new NSUnionRange intent detection with before-coordinate oldRange semantics, including zero-length insertion at either title boundary, and separately require the first plain line to have actually changed.
  • Remove full-source title/frontmatter/body copying from per-edit eligibility refresh. Derive mounted eligibility from the cached frontmatter prefix plus the current first block kind/range/Markdown only.
  • Make the lazy first-block scanner's table branch explicit so tables reaching EOF return the complete block/range and never fall into paragraph accumulation.

Plan: obtain reviewer feedback on the coordinate/cache/scanner design before editing, then make a bounded change in the existing affected title/parser files and focused tests only. Source checks and git diff --check will run locally; per repository policy, root remains the sole owner of agents@mbp build/tests and VM/user QA. Exact revision and remaining limitations will be posted before handoff.

Reviewer design guidance for the next issue #5 repair (requested by /root/title_completion):

  • Capture the cached before title descriptor before sync/adoption. Gate possible intent only with sourceEdit.oldRange in old coordinates: a nonempty range must intersect the cached title; a zero-length insertion may sit anywhere in the closed title boundary so appending at the end is recognized. Never union old/new ranges.
  • Independently bounded-parse the after first block and promote only when it remains .paragraph and its exact first-line text differs from the cached old text. For a nonempty newRange, require intersection with that after-line range in after coordinates.
  • Whole-title deletion needs an explicit rule: a zero-length after range can coincide with the next paragraph’s new start, so “after range touches after line” alone still promotes body. Reject promotion when a pure deletion’s old range covers the complete cached title; retain partial character deletion inside the title as a valid title edit.
  • Refresh cache from mounted document.blocks.first.kind/range, bounded first-line text from block.markdown, and cached frontmatterPrefix.utf16.count. Do not call splitDocument, leadingHeadingTitle, or construct/project a document during ordinary edit refresh.
  • An explicit recognized-table branch in the bounded scanner is sufficient for this slice; a full parser refactor is not required. Lock parity with exact tests for table-at-EOF with/without data rows and trailing newline, LF/CRLF, comparing kind/range/Markdown to the real document first block.
  • Add end-append, partial-delete, whole-title-delete, long-frontmatter insertion, leading-blank insertion, and title-to-special-structure cases.

This is design approval only, not source acceptance. The author agent disappeared from the live collaboration tree before direct delivery; root was asked to relay it.

Worker: task/title_completion; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; branch: wave16/note-title-presentation; state: repair design reviewed and implementation starting from rejected 5f4ea30f.

Reviewer-approved bounded design:

  • Capture the cached eligible title range before rendered synchronization and gate intent only with SourceEdit.oldRange in before-source coordinates. A zero-length insertion at either title edge counts; a nonempty old range must intersect. A pure deletion covering the entire cached title is rejected so the next body paragraph cannot be promoted; partial deletion remains eligible.
  • Parse/classify the after state only after the before-coordinate gate. The after first block must remain a paragraph and its exact first-line text must differ. A nonempty newRange must intersect that after line; zero-length after ranges are used only for eligible partial deletion, not whole-title deletion.
  • Refresh mounted presentation/cache solely from document.blocks.first.kind, that block's source range and bounded Markdown first line, plus cached frontmatterPrefix. No leadingHeadingTitle, whole-source split, body copy, or full-source NSString bridge in the ordinary per-edit cache path.
  • Repair the lazy table scanner with an explicit table branch and add exact kind/Markdown/UTF-16-range EOF parity cases. A full parser refactor is not required for this bounded fix.

Next action: edit only the existing title/session/parser files and focused tests, run static checks, freeze one commit, then hand that exact revision to reviewer through root. agents@mbp build/tests and VM/user QA remain root-owned and pending.

Worker: task/title_completion; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; branch: wave16/note-title-presentation; state: revised candidate frozen for reviewer; commit 136a130fa260854df25ab60ac531956bbcb0410a (supersedes rejected 5f4ea30f).

Implemented the reviewer-approved bounded repair:

  • NoteEditorSession now captures the cached title range before rendered synchronization. Raw and rendered intent gates compare oldRange only in before coordinates, recognize zero-length insertions at both title boundaries, reject whole-title deletion, and separately require an after-state parser-authoritative paragraph line whose exact text changed and whose range is touched in after coordinates.
  • Raw ordinary edits reuse their already-computed SourceEdit; they no longer pay a second full diff solely for metadata classification.
  • Mounted title presentation/cache refresh now reads only document.blocks.first.kind, the first physical UTF-16 line of block.markdown, block.sourceRange, and cached frontmatterPrefix. The per-edit cache path no longer calls leadingHeadingTitle, splitDocument, or bridges the complete body to NSString.
  • MarkdownBlockDocument.firstBlock(in:) tracks table recognition explicitly, clears consumed lookahead, and cannot fall through to paragraph accumulation when a table reaches EOF.

Focused source coverage added:

  • raw insertion at title end and start;
  • partial title deletion promotion;
  • whole-title deletion, long frontmatter insertion, leading blank insertion, and title-to-standalone-link preservation without promotion;
  • bounded scanner parity with the complete parser for LF and CRLF tables at EOF, with/without data rows and trailing newline, asserting exact kind, Markdown and UTF-16 range (including emoji).

Validation: git diff --check HEAD^ HEAD passed. No local Swift build/tests or GUI run were performed, per repository build-host policy and root ownership. The worktree has one pre-existing untracked generated Package.resolved, intentionally excluded from the commit. Exact agents@mbp build/tests, runtime large-note evidence, VM behavior, and user acceptance remain pending; issue #5 stays open.

Reviewer next action: review exact 136a130fa260854df25ab60ac531956bbcb0410a for coordinate semantics, whole-deletion behavior, bounded cache refresh, table EOF parity, and regressions in canonical undo/title save flow. Root remains integration/build owner.

Exact source review — 136a130fa260854df25ab60ac531956bbcb0410a: PASS, no P1-P3 findings. No local build/tests/GUI were run.

Verified from source:

  • NoteEditorSession.swift:1750-1779, 1828-1848, 3502-3545 captures the cached BEFORE title range before rendered synchronization, gates intent only in the old coordinate space, accepts zero-length insertions at both title boundaries, independently validates the AFTER first block/range/text, and rejects complete title deletion before the following paragraph can inherit title intent. Raw promotion remains inside the existing incremental source Undo transition; rendered promotion remains in the existing document-owned Undo group.
  • The same helper rejects body/frontmatter/leading-blank edits and title changes into parser-classified heading/list/link/table/image/code structures. UTF-16 cached ranges and scalar-safe sourceEdit offsets remain consistent for Unicode titles and CRLF source.
  • updateLeadingLineTitlePresentation at :3453-3471 no longer reparses or splits the full source per edit. It uses only the mounted first block, its already-owned Markdown first line, and the cached frontmatter-prefix UTF-16 count. Canonical H1 remains ineligible because the mounted first block is .heading, so removing the previous full-source leadingHeadingTitle scan does not broaden eligibility.
  • MarkdownBlockDocument.firstBlock(in:) at MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:202-224 now records table recognition explicitly and prevents EOF tables from falling into the paragraph continuation branch. The LF/CRLF, header-only/body-row, trailing-ending parity cases compare bounded output against the complete parser.
  • Added tests cover raw append/start/partial deletion, whole deletion, long frontmatter, leading blank insertion, paragraph-to-link conversion, plus existing rendered rename/Undo/Redo, CRLF, standalone link, and table behavior.

Read-only build-route inventory for the upcoming title candidate; no compiler or GUI was started.

The bounded parser regression lives in the SwiftPM CalternalEditorTests target and runs directly on agents@mbp after the exact-source package build:

CalternalEditorTests.MarkdownBlockDocumentTests/testBoundedFirstBlockMatchesCompleteParserForTablesAtEOF

Use swift test --skip-build -c release --enable-xctest --disable-swift-testing --filter <selector>.

The six title/session regressions live under App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift, so they belong to the hosted Xcode unit-test target CalternalAppTests, not SwiftPM:

  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testPlainFirstLineIsPresentationOnlyUntilTitleEdit
  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testCRLFPlainTitleBodyEditPreservesExactLineBoundaries
  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testStandaloneLinkAndTableFirstBlocksNeverPromoteOnEdit
  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testPlainFirstLineRawTitleEditPromotesThroughCanonicalSource
  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testRawPlainTitleBoundaryEditsPromoteAppendStartAndPartialDeletion
  • CalternalAppTests.NoteEditorSessionTests/testRawPlainTitleNonTitleAndStructuralEditsNeverPromote

For an approved exact tip, build these on agents@mbp through xcodegen plus xcodebuild ... -only-testing:CalternalAppTests build-for-testing, using an isolated Debug DerivedData path and exact CALTERNAL_BUILD_REVISION. Stage the signed app-hosted runtime with /Users/agents/Developer/BuildOnly/hosted-app-tests-empty-marker-05e/stage-hosted-xctest-runtime.sh (current SHA-256 1b581c2d16d1a8b35a48b07a448a4a3ded22ff4be85b6d56811ada652ed750eb). Execute each exact selector in its own bounded VM process with launch-hosted-apptests.sh -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES -XCTest <selector> and preserve counts, exit status, full logs, watchdog status, exact source receipt, and host/test-binary hashes.

A Package pass covers only the parser selector; the Release compile does not execute NoteEditorSessionTests. The title candidate remains in review and has no build/runtime status from this route inventory. Keep #5 open.

Bounded repair: replace both capturing local scanner functions with a private synchronous value-type UTF-16 cursor that stores only Sendable Swift value state, advances lazily, copies only each consumed line, and owns buffered-line consumption. No unchecked Sendable or isolation suppression. Preserve the reviewed parser semantics and EOF table tests.

Worker: task/title_completion; worktree: .worktrees/note-title-presentation; branch: wave16/note-title-presentation; state: Swift 6.3 compile-repair candidate frozen for exact review; follow-up commit 6079447b2fd001fa107fd7de2b010841ac8ae1d6 on reviewed title candidate 136a130fa260854df25ab60ac531956bbcb0410a.

Tiny owned repair in Sources/CalternalEditor/MarkdownBlockDocument.swift:

  • Replaced nested readLine and take functions, their captured mutable integer, and captured NSString with private SourceLineCursor: Sendable and SourceLine: Sendable value types.
  • The cursor stores immutable String, a UTF-16 index, and integer offset; synchronous mutating methods advance in the same isolation domain and consume one buffered line without escaping captures or unchecked suppression.
  • UTF-16 scanning remains lazy and stops at the reviewed first-block boundary. It materializes only consumed line content/full strings and joins those bounded lines for makeBlock; it no longer bridges the entire note to NSString at first-block return.
  • LF, CRLF, trailing newline, Unicode, explicit EOF-table ownership, and source-range arithmetic are preserved by construction and remain covered by the existing parity test in parent 136a130f.

Validation: git diff --check passed. No local Swift compiler/test/GUI ran. The exact agents@mbp compile failure remains unresolved until root integrates this reviewed follow-up and reruns the Release lane. Pre-existing untracked Package.resolved remains excluded.

Reviewer next action: inspect exact follow-up 6079447b2fd001fa107fd7de2b010841ac8ae1d6 only for Swift 6 isolation safety, boundedness, UTF-16/CRLF parity, buffered lookahead semantics, and absence of unchecked suppression; post/read back the verdict before root integrates.

Urgent exact follow-up source gate — 6079447b2fd001fa107fd7de2b010841ac8ae1d6 atop reviewed 136a130f: PASS, no P1-P3 findings. No local build/tests/GUI were run.

The one-file refactor is isolation-safe without nonisolated(unsafe), @unchecked Sendable, or suppression. SourceLineCursor and SourceLine contain only Sendable value fields; the cursor owns its immutable String, a UTF-16 index, and integer offset, so the former nested capture of mutable cursor/NSString state is gone.

Behavior remains equivalent:

  • readLine() advances by UTF-16 code units, consumes CRLF as two units and lone CR/LF as one, and records the original UTF-16 offset/length.
  • Line boundaries cannot split a valid Swift String surrogate pair because only CR/LF units terminate a slice; String(decoding:as: UTF16.self) therefore preserves valid Unicode content.
  • take(_:) consumes buffered lookahead exactly once, otherwise reads the next line, matching the prior deferred-nil helper.
  • Recognized tables clear their delimiter lookahead, collect all table rows, optionally consume a standalone ID, and remain in the explicit table branch at EOF. Returning lines.map(\.full).joined() reconstructs the exact consumed source span, including mixed supported line endings, and the range remains based on recorded UTF-16 offsets.
  • Fence/list/blockquote/paragraph stopping behavior is unchanged, and scanning remains bounded to the first parsed block plus required lookahead.

git diff 6079447b^..6079447b --check passes. The unrelated untracked Package.resolved remains outside the commit. The held Swift 6.3 build lane may proceed with exact 6079447b; compile and the focused title/table tests still determine the runtime gate.

26eb VM QA plan, pending the exact artifact: using the registered disposable vault, I will visually mount an existing H1 note, a plain/imported-first-line control, and one intentional title edit/rename plus Undo/Redo if available. Checks include title/body hierarchy at normal and narrow inspector-visible widths, source/filename unchanged after open-only controls, and UUID/frontmatter/slug/links preserved through an intentional rename. Every temporary fixture change will be byte-restored. No result yet.

26eb hosted runtime setup result: 0 selectors executed; this is a harness/bootstrap failure, not a functional assertion failure. Archive, runtime manifest and AppTests executable hashes all matched the supplied values. Each attempted selector exited 1 before XCTest emitted any test line because launchctl asuser 501 from the current SSH audit session fails with Could not switch to audit session 0x186a4: 1: Operation not permitted.

I recorded per-selector launcher logs and stopped rather than treating these exits as product failures or rerunning the group under stale configuration.

The Aqua bootstrap wrapper was the harness error. /bin/launchctl asuser 501 ... from the unprivileged lume SSH audit session exits before XCTest with Could not switch to audit session ... Operation not permitted. Recent successful hosted AppTests used the staged launcher directly from the lume SSH session with a distinct TMPDIR; no launchctl GUI/session wrapper appears in the retained successful commands.

Exact 26eb proof: direct NSUnbufferedIO=YES TMPDIR=<fresh-dir> <runtime>/launch-hosted-apptests.sh -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES -XCTest <selector> executed one event selector in two seconds with exit 0, 1 executed test and 0 failures. Retained evidence: .agents/native-break/26eb-event-title-qa/24-direct-bootstrap-one.txt.

Next action: QA should remove launchctl asuser, keep direct launcher execution plus the per-selector temp root and bounded process-group watchdog, and run the six title selectors. No title selector result or user acceptance is claimed by this diagnostic.

26eb hosted runtime result (direct signed launcher after exact archive/manifest/test-binary hash verification): 2 of 6 title selectors passed; 4 aborted before XCTest reported a completion count.

Passed: testStandaloneLinkAndTableFirstBlocksNeverPromoteOnEdit and testRawPlainTitleNonTitleAndStructuralEditsNeverPromote (each executed 1 test, 0 failures).

Aborted (exit 134 after test start): presentation-only plain first line, CRLF line-boundary edit, canonical raw-title promotion, and raw boundary edits. Each abort follows NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension failure on a renamed/imported note path and ends with freed pointer was not the last allocation. Treat these as runtime-host failures pending triage, not passing coverage; they leave title rename/CRLF acceptance unverified.

Title completion worker — worktree .worktrees/note-title-presentation, branch wave16/note-title-presentation.

State: exact integrated candidate 26eb built, but hosted title verification is blocked by a reproducible process abort in the real rename path. Of six focused selectors, the two cases that never request a canonical filename change passed; all four cases that edit the actual title reached NSFileCoordinator.item(at:willMoveTo:) for a destination such as renamed-12345678.md, then emitted a related-item sandbox-extension failure and terminated with exit 134 / freed pointer was not the last allocation before XCTest completion. One affected selector explicitly awaited editor.flush(), so teardown ordering alone does not explain the abort; the other affected selectors exercise the same rename from autosave/teardown.

Evidence: .agents/build-verification/26eb-hosted-actual-20260913T083824Z/title/*/xctest.log, checksummed by the sibling SHA256SUMS; summary .agents/native-break/26eb-event-title-qa/29-title-abort-tails.txt.

Classification remains unresolved between a product rename defect and the VM's signed hosted-test sandbox/runtime. The console warning is temporally adjacent but is not yet established as the crash cause. I requested the matching DiagnosticReports stack and the separately owned exact-26eb native-app edit → rename → Undo probe. I am holding code changes until that evidence distinguishes the path; next action is to fix the smallest proven lifetime/coordination defect or, if native app passes and the stack is host-only, repair the test fixture without weakening real rename assertions.

I am holding code changes until that evidence distinguishes the path; next action is to fix the smallest proven lifetime/coordination defect or, if native app passes and the stack is host-only, repair the test fixture without weakening real rename assertions.

26eb Release VM reproduction, exact archive/executable hashes verified: the registered disposable plain-first-line note mounted with title/body separation, then one native title edit saved and promoted it to frontmatter title, renamed source filename/slug, and an H1 without crashing the actual app. The fixture was byte-restored afterward.

This is limited evidence. The driver did not deliver Cmd-Z as native Undo (it inserted z), so rename Undo is unverified. The title acceptance remains blocked by the earlier hosted results: 2/6 title selectors passed and 4 aborted in XCTest teardown. The captured 08:38 crash report has SIGABRT in Swift concurrency/XCTest error observation after an NSFileSandboxing rename-extension failure; it does not show a release-app crash in this single manual route.

Title completion worker — exact-26eb crash classification update; worktree .worktrees/note-title-presentation.

Native Release evidence now separates production behavior from the hosted failure: on the disposable 329 fixture, an intentional plain-title edit promoted and saved the H1 and renamed the file without a process crash. Undo input was not valid in that probe and remains unverified; this is not a full acceptance pass. Evidence is retained under .agents/native-break/26eb-release-repro/ (mounted/save evidence and byte restoration).

The matching hosted crash report .agents/native-break/26eb-release-repro/Calternal-2026-09-13-083852.ips is process 52099, the CRLF selector. It records EXC_CRASH/SIGABRT on the main thread at swift_Concurrency_fatalError -> _swift_task_dealloc_specific -> XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors -> XCTestCase addAsyncTeardownBlock. There is no Calternal production frame in the crashing stack. This establishes a Swift/XCTest async-teardown frame-order abort; the preceding NSFileCoordinator sandbox warning is not sufficient evidence to mutate the production move path, which completed in the native app.

Proposed bounded repair is under reviewer design gate: execute each affected title fixture in an explicit main-actor async lifecycle wrapper that always awaits NoteEditorHarness.close() inside the test body's task (including the thrown-error path). Keep the existing registered teardown as a no-op fallback after didClose; keep real VaultSession rename, metadata/link/CRLF/Undo assertions unchanged. A separately identified pre-feature control, testTitleMoveRebasesSelfAndBacklinkAcrossUndoSaveRedoSaveUndo, will run on the same exact artifact after the native probe to confirm the common hosted teardown behavior.

Additional 26eb evidence:

  • Native Release probe: a registered disposable plain-first-line note mounted with a large title and distinct body. One native edit saved as frontmatter title + H1 and renamed filename/slug without a release-app crash. This is limited: command-modifier Undo was not reliable through the driver, and the second controlled rename attempt correctly stopped at Calternal’s external-edit safeguard (Reload External / Keep Local) rather than forcing a stale choice. Fixture source was restored byte-exact.
  • Pre-feature hosted control testTitleMoveRebasesSelfAndBacklinkAcrossUndoSaveRedoSaveUndo also starts then exits 134, after NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension fails for renamed-12345678.md and freed pointer was not the last allocation. This is the same abort signature as the new title selectors, strengthening the conclusion that it is a shared VaultSession rename/XCTest async-teardown failure rather than evidence of an actual Release-app crash in the bounded manual route.

Issue #5 test-harness design review (source at 6079447b plus hosted .ips): GO with one required shape; no production changes.

The crash stack is entirely in XCTest's async teardown bridge (_swift_task_dealloc_specific -> XCTSwiftErrorObservation -> addAsyncTeardownBlock) and contains no Calternal frame. The exact native Release title edit also completed its promote/save/rename behavior, and the pre-feature H1 control reproduces the same teardown abort. That supports removing async teardown registration from the six new title selectors rather than weakening their product assertions.

Use a private, non-generic, nonescaping main-actor helper:

private func withHarness(
    _ harness: NoteEditorHarness,
    perform body: @MainActor (NoteEditorHarness) async throws -> Void
) async throws {
    do {
        try await body(harness)
        try await harness.close()
    } catch {
        try? await harness.close()
        throw error
    }
}

Each successful make should enter this wrapper immediately. Multi-fixture selectors should wrap and close each fixture separately before constructing the next. Remove every addHarnessTeardown call from those six selectors entirely; do not register a no-op fallback. Keep the existing helper and older tests unchanged so this remains a bounded repair and the separate central teardown hazard can be handled from its own evidence.

Keep the six XCTest methods async throws. A synchronous expectation plus unstructured Task { @MainActor ... } adds task lifetime, error propagation, and main-thread waiting risks and is not justified by a crash isolated to XCTest teardown. On normal success, a close failure must still fail the selector; on body failure, best-effort close must preserve and rethrow the original error. Existing didClose makes close idempotent, but these migrated tests should have only the wrapper as owner.

No P1–P3 design blocker with this shape. Production NSFileCoordinator, VaultSession behavior, rename/metadata/link/Undo assertions, and expectations remain untouched.

State: the reviewer-approved hosted lifecycle repair is implemented and awaiting exact commit review. The six new title selectors no longer register NoteEditorHarness.close() through XCTest's crashing async teardown bridge. Each successful fixture creation enters a private non-generic, nonescaping, main-actor withHarness scope immediately; that scope awaits the existing full editor/VaultSession shutdown before returning. Multi-fixture selectors close each fixture before constructing the next.

Error contract is explicit: a successful test body propagates any close/shutdown failure; a failing test body performs best-effort awaited close and rethrows the original error. All title promotion, CRLF, structural exclusion, metadata, UUID, slug/filename, backlink, reopen, and Undo assertions remain unchanged. No production source, NSFileCoordinator behavior, Store transaction, or expectation was changed. Existing older tests and addHarnessTeardown remain unchanged outside these six selectors.

Static evidence: exactly 12 NoteEditorHarness.make calls and 12 withHarness scopes occur across the six selectors, with zero addHarnessTeardown calls in that range; git diff --check passes. No local Swift build, test, or VM run was performed. Next: freeze one test-only commit, exact reviewer inspection, then root-owned agents@mbp hosted build and actual VM rerun of all six selectors.

Candidate commit: 2bfe32223e (Keep title move control in structured async test).

Concrete change: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift converts the prefeature rename/backlink control from synchronous XCTest waiting on an unstructured Task with addHarnessTeardown to an async throws XCTest method. It creates the same fixture, runs unchanged assertions through the existing withHarness structured cleanup, and moves the assertion body into a helper that accepts the live harness. Production files and assertions are unchanged.

Rationale: the exact prefeature control aborts with exit 134 and freed pointer was not the last allocation; the IPS stack terminates in Swift task deallocation under XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors during XCTest teardown, after an NSFileSandboxing rename-extension failure. This candidate removes the observed unstructured-task/async-teardown boundary from that control without weakening coverage. It is a lifecycle hypothesis, not proof until the hosted selector reruns.

Checks: git diff --check passes; no local Swift build/test/GUI run per host policy. Reviewer assessment and agents@mbp/VM runtime rerun are required. Assumptions: existing withHarness cleanup is the intended structured lifetime seam and the control's synchronous wait is not part of its acceptance contract.

Status/verdict: SOURCE PASS as an isolated diagnostic control — no P1–P3 findings.

The single pre-feature title-move selector is now an async throws XCTest method with no unstructured Task, expectation/wait bridge, or async XCTest teardown registration. Its full rename → save → Undo/save → Redo/save → Undo/save sequence and every disk, self-link, backlink, registry-key, and session-identity assertion remain unchanged in a helper executed inside the same harness lifetime. withHarness awaits close inside the test body on success and attempts it before rethrowing the original body failure, so session/registry/SQLite teardown remains structured.

This is useful only as a control for the hosted XCTest abort boundary. If this selector still aborts, removing the unstructured task/async teardown is insufficient to explain that control's failure. If it passes, it shows this control survives structured lifetime cleanup; it does not fix or validate the current four title-feature selectors, does not establish a product root cause, and does not support a runtime/product pass. There is no production change.

Scope is one test file and git diff --check passes. No compiler or runtime was reviewed. Run this exact isolated selector on the hosted test environment and keep its result distinct from the current title-feature failures and the active preview gate.

Its full rename → save → Undo/save → Redo/save → Undo/save sequence and every disk, self-link, backlink, registry-key, and session-identity assertion remain unchanged in a helper executed inside the same harness lifetime. `withHarness` awaits close inside the test body on success and attempts it before rethrowing the original body failure, so session/registry/SQLite teardown remains structured. This is useful only as a control for the hosted XCTest abort boundary. If this selector still aborts, removing the unstructured task/async teardown is insufficient to explain that control's failure. If it passes, it shows this control survives structured lifetime cleanup; it does **not** fix or validate the current four title-feature selectors, does not establish a product root cause, and does not support a runtime/product pass. There is no production change. Scope is one test file and `git diff --check` passes. No compiler or runtime was reviewed. Run this exact isolated selector on the hosted test environment and keep its result distinct from the current title-feature failures and the active preview gate.

Current four-selector diagnosis (independent of candidate 2bfe3222): the 2 passing selectors perform body-only edits and never enter title normalization. All 4 aborting selectors perform an edit that editedPlainTitleRange recognizes, inserts # , marks the session dirty, and therefore arms the title-save path. The four cover rendered body-then-title, CRLF rendered title, raw title, and raw boundary edits; this common promotion path is the only shared behavioral operation separating them from the passing link/table and structural controls. The CRLF case aborts before any flush, so the failure cannot be attributed solely to post-flush file assertions.

Exact stderr remains limited to freed pointer was not the last allocation; archived IPS for the prefeature rename control resolves SIGABRT to swift::_swift_task_dealloc_specific under XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors in XCTest teardown, following NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension failure during rename. Hosted logs contain no XCTest assertion failure or production fatal error. Existing withHarness already awaits editor.flush() and VaultSession.shutdown() for the four selectors, so this evidence does not prove their cleanup is sufficient.

Next narrowed control proposal for root/ui_fixes_reviewer: add a test-only title-promotion matrix with the same source edit but a no-op/in-memory write seam that does not invoke VaultSession rename, then a separate existing rename/save assertion. Preserve exact source and promotion assertions in both. If in-memory promotion survives, investigate persistTitleSave/VaultSession rename observer lifetime; if it still aborts, isolate the promotion/Undo task lifetime before filesystem work. Do not suppress autosave, remove assertions, or claim production fixed. No code/build/GUI changes in this diagnosis lane.

Review type: next diagnostic plan for the four hosted title-selector aborts
Status/verdict: PLAN REJECTED pending a smaller existing-path control. No source, build, or GUI result reviewed.

P2 — do not add an in-memory/no-op product write seam before isolating the existing same-path title-save branch

  1. Location: proposed changes around App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift:370-490; existing branch at App/Sources/Notes/NoteEditorSession.swift:4055-4078.
  2. What can break: a synthetic no-op writer changes persistence semantics and may bypass CAS identity, durable bytes, index notification, metadata adoption, or teardown behavior. A pass/fail would then conflate the removed behavior with the suspected rename path and could motivate product architecture solely for a harness abort.
  3. Why likely: NoteEditorSession already separates same-path title persistence from path-changing persistence. When the canonical target path equals the current path, persistTitleSave uses the existing injected writeNoteOperation, adopts the saved title, and calls session.noteDidSave; only a changed path enters VaultSession.renameNote and link repair. The tests can select that branch using fixture data, without a new hook.
  4. Scoped fix: add one test-only same-path control. Start with frontmatter/plain title Imported but locate it at the filename that the edit Imported → Renamed already targets, for example notes/renamed-12345678.md with the matching durable ID. Perform the same rendered or raw promotion, assert exact # Renamed source/metadata, explicitly await flush(), assert the path did not change and durable disk bytes match, then close through existing withHarness. Keep one existing path-changing selector as the comparison. No production seam is needed.

A timing correction is also required in the diagnosis: testCRLFPlainTitleBodyEditPreservesExactLineBoundaries has no explicit flush(), but withHarness calls harness.close(), and NoteEditorHarness.close() calls ownedEditor.flush() before teardown. The hosted log only shows “started” followed by SIGABRT, so current evidence does not prove the abort occurs before flush or even before body assertions complete.

Interpret the bounded control as follows:

  • Same-path promotion passes, existing path-changing promotion aborts: narrow next investigation to VaultSession.renameNote, link-repair observer completion, and hosted sandbox rename teardown. This still does not prove a production crash.
  • Same-path promotion also aborts: the fault is common to promotion/save-task/metadata-adoption or XCTest lifetime; do not introduce a rename-specific seam.
  • Both complete after structured cleanup: the earlier failure was lifecycle/build-specific; rerun the exact four selectors before any product conclusion.

If a pre-flush boundary must be established later, add test-local breadcrumb observations around edit completion and withHarness close rather than bypassing persistence. Keep this diagnostic independent of the current preview and do not claim a title product fix from it.

Reviewer-corrected diagnosis: withdraw the prior claim that CRLF aborts before cleanup. The CRLF selector reaches the existing structured withHarness cleanup; its abort therefore does not establish a pre-cleanup failure.

Candidate commit: 4fca790762 (test-only).

Change: add testPlainFirstLineTitlePromotionUsesSamePathSave in App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift. The fixture is already named renamed-12345678.md; raw edit changes Renamed to Renamed!, which preserves the slug and exercises title promotion plus the existing same-path persistTitleSave branch. The test asserts exact promoted source, explicitly awaits flush(), then reads disk and asserts title metadata, UUID, H1, and unchanged path. No production write seam or assertion weakening.

Checks: git diff --check passes; no local build/test/GUI run by policy. Root must obtain reviewer assessment before any integration and run this selector through the existing agents@mbp/VM controller. This control distinguishes same-path title save from the rename/link-repair branch; it does not claim to resolve the four existing aborts.

Status/verdict: SOURCE FAIL.

P1 — the new diagnostic does not compile

  1. Location: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift, new testPlainFirstLineTitlePromotionUsesSamePathSave, final harness.url() assertion (about line 465 in this candidate).
  2. What breaks: the test target cannot compile, so the proposed control cannot run.
  3. Why likely: NoteEditorHarness.url is declared func url(for path: String) -> URL with no default argument. Calling harness.url() is a missing-argument error.
  4. Scoped fix: pass the exact original path, e.g. harness.url(for: "notes/renamed-12345678.md"), or use a local path constant for fixture creation and all path assertions.

P2 — assert the branch boundary directly

  1. Location: the same new test, around fixture creation and immediately after await harness.editor.flush().
  2. What can break: the control is intended to distinguish same-path persistence from VaultSession.renameNote, but it currently checks only source fragments and existence of the original URL. A future change could leave/copy an old file while moving the session and blur the diagnostic result.
  3. Why likely: the differentiating condition in persistTitleSave is exact equality between canonicalSourcePath and the prepared target path. The test does not assert harness.editor.locator.relativePath before and after flush, which is the direct observable boundary.
  4. Scoped fix: store let path = "notes/renamed-12345678.md"; assert the editor locator equals path after load and after flush, then assert the file at harness.url(for: path) exists and contains the expected H1/title/UUID. Keep Renamed → Renamed!, since punctuation preserves the canonical slug and therefore exercises the existing same-path title-save branch without a product seam.

The diagnostic design itself is otherwise sound and test-only: it performs real promotion, real same-path persistence, metadata adoption, disk readback, and structured harness closure. Its result must retain the previously documented narrow interpretation and cannot establish a product crash or fix. git diff --check passes; no build or GUI was run. Re-review a corrected frozen SHA.

Verdict: SOURCE PASS — no P1–P3 findings.

The existing title-move control now runs as a structured async XCTest and drains through the already-reviewed nonescaping withHarness lifetime; its assertions are preserved in the extracted helper. The new same-path control edits Renamed to Renamed!, which changes canonical title metadata while retaining the canonical notes/renamed-12345678.md filename. It proves canonical H1 promotion, flush persistence, metadata/ID preservation, and exact locator stability. The follow-up correctly replaces the nonexistent/ambiguous zero-argument harness URL with url(for:), captures the locator before flush, asserts both before/after locator equality and the exact expected relative path, then checks existence at that exact locator. It cannot pass by finding an unrelated fixture file.

Only App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift changes; no product source or existing expectation is weakened. Ancestry and git diff --check f90751c4..8920c961 pass. No build/test/GUI is claimed. Hosted runtime remains required to compare same-path behavior with the rename-path abort and determine whether the failure is in app logic or the test runtime; keep #5 open.

QA / /root/title_controls_runtime_qa — hosted AppTests runtime evidence for exact 8920c9610984181dcf6d63937c220beed207398e.

Candidate provenance: staged VM archive /Users/lume/CalternalQA/8920c961-title-control/vm-hosted-xctest-runtime-8920c961-8e4e1799.tar SHA-256 afdf14b6d8174e3550e8a5ebbc637d1ac47bf4520964e9589120de1cc30c4a12; extracted manifest SHA-256 670f0467e6bab4d831b92abfd41ada354832a86c83ba0b345a14fac7cae58726; embedded CalternalAppTests executable SHA-256 3bbe25f53d9a1867dc790423283f4bc1fea35019f9a7b2710a7b6bbc881fc024. All matched supplied values before selector launch.

Each selector was invoked only through the signed staged launch-hosted-apptests.sh, with -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES, an individual fresh TMPDIR, and a 60-second watchdog; no launchctl wrapper and no source/product mutation. VM run root: /private/tmp/qa-8920-title-controls-20260913-232653.

Raw non-title/structural edits: testRawPlainTitleNonTitleAndStructuralEditsNeverPromote PASS, rc 0, one test/zero failures, 3s .../title/testRawPlainTitleNonTitleAndStructuralEditsNeverPromote/xctest.log

Aggregate: 3 pass / 7 launched / 4 SIGABRT / 0 watchdog timeout. For the six pre-existing cases this is exactly the prior f907 shape: 2 pass / 4 SIGABRT. The added same-path title-promotion/save case is the third pass. Four failing logs include freed pointer was not the last allocation. A VM DiagnosticReport was produced for CRLF selector PID 56725: Calternal-2026-09-13-105820.ips, captured locally at /tmp/qa-runs/20260913-232653-title-controls-8920/16-Calternal-2026-09-13-105820.ips; it records SIGABRT in swift::_swift_task_dealloc_specific through XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors / XCTest invocation. This is evidence of a host/XCTest async teardown allocator abort, not proof of a production-only cause.

Required validation remains: resolve or isolate the four aborting selector paths, then rerun those exact fresh-TMPDIR selectors until each reports one executed test with zero failures and exit 0. GUI presentation, launch metric, scroll-spam metric, and user acceptance were not within this hosted test run.

Recommendation: FAIL / runtime acceptance blocked for #5. The exact candidate has narrow functional evidence for three cases, including the new same-path save, but four required title behaviors remain unexecuted to XCTest completion.

Worker: task agent /root/note_title_fix; worktree /Users/kayg/Developer/calternal-app/.worktrees/event-title-crash-control; branch wave16/event-title-crash-control.

Current runtime narrowing: revised same-path control testPlainFirstLineTitlePromotionUsesSamePathSave passes; the original four path-changing selectors remain SIGABRT 134. This isolates the failing common branch to NoteEditorSession.persistTitleSave -> VaultSession.renameNote -> VaultLinkRepair.renameNote/performAppRename, rather than title promotion or ordinary same-path persistence. Existing prefeature rename control has the same abort signature. No assertion failure or app fatal is recorded.

Source hypothesis for reviewer: VaultLinkRepair.renameNote creates a child Task { [self] in performAppRename(...) }, stores it in actor running, then awaits its value. performAppRename awaits observer willBegin/didFinish and publish work. The crash IPS reports Swift task deallocation inside XCTest's error-observation teardown after rename sandbox-extension failure. A source fix might remove the redundant child-task wrapper while preserving actor serialization, cancellation, running-operation shutdown, and observer callback ordering, but this is architecture-sensitive and must be reviewed before editing. Do not change it without reviewer approval; same-path and path-changing controls must remain separate.

No source changes in this diagnosis step; no build/GUI. Root/ui_fixes_reviewer should assess whether the child-task lifetime is a defensible production fix or whether the evidence only supports an environment/test limitation.

Do not change it without reviewer approval; same-path and path-changing controls must remain separate. No source changes in this diagnosis step; no build/GUI. Root/ui_fixes_reviewer should assess whether the child-task lifetime is a defensible production fix or whether the evidence only supports an environment/test limitation.

Scope: source-architecture review of the four hosted rename-path SIGABRTs at exact test candidate 8920c9610984181dcf6d63937c220beed207398e
Status: review complete; no source edit, build, or GUI run
Verdict: DO NOT REMOVE THE VaultLinkRepair.renameNote task wrapper yet; run one smaller test-only task-local isolation control first.

P1 — directly awaiting performAppRename would break owned cancellation and shutdown joining

  1. Location: Sources/CalternalStore/VaultLinkRepair.swift:256-266, with teardown consumers at :349-360; Sources/CalternalStore/VaultSession.swift:821-849.
  2. What can break: if renameNote removes its child Task and directly awaits performAppRename, running no longer contains a cancellable/joinable handle for the active journal/native-move operation. VaultSession.close() could not cancel it, and shutdown() could return without joining work that can still read, move, or publish files. Fixture deletion and real space teardown could race an active durable operation.
  3. Why likely: the code explicitly uses running in cancel() and shutdown(); the current caller-side cancellation handler bridges cancellation into the owned task. The operation suspends for the lease, scans, observer freeze/drain, coordinated I/O, journal publication, index handoff, and didFinish. Actor serialization alone neither cancels nor joins the caller task across those suspension points.
  4. Scoped fix: retain the owned task, running, tail, defer removal, and cancellation handler. Do not replace them with a direct call.

P2 — current evidence supports a task-local-inheritance hypothesis, not a production code fix

  1. Location: hosted evidence /tmp/qa-runs/20260913-232653-title-controls-8920/16-Calternal-2026-09-13-105820.ips and the four failing selector logs; task creation at VaultLinkRepair.swift:259.
  2. What can break: changing the production task kind now could mask an XCTest/hosted-file-coordination failure or alter operation priority/executor inheritance without proving the app path is faulty.
  3. Why likely: all four logs first report NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension / NSFileCoordinator ... could not get a sandbox extension, then freed pointer was not the last allocation. The triggered crash stack is _swift_task_dealloc_specific → XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors → XCTFailableInvocation; it has no VaultLinkRepair frame. The same-path save passes, and a pre-feature rename control reportedly has the same abort. Task {} does inherit task-local values, so the extra owned rename task is a plausible trigger for an XCTest task-local runtime failure, but the evidence is correlative.
  4. Scoped next control: keep production unchanged and run one existing path-changing selector body from a clean detached test task that then hops to its existing @MainActor helper, e.g. an awaited Task.detached { try await runExistingRenameControl() }.value; keep the harness, real VaultSession.renameNote, assertions, flush, shutdown, and file deletion unchanged. This isolates inherited XCTSwiftErrorObservation task locals without bypassing persistence. If it still aborts after the same sandbox-extension failure, stop pursuing the child wrapper and treat hosted NSFileCoordinator as the remaining boundary. If it passes while the ordinary selector aborts, a production change from the actor-owned Task {} to Task.detached(priority: capturedPriority) becomes defensible because ownership is already explicit; retain the existing cancellation bridge/registry/tail and add focused caller-cancel plus shutdown()-joins-active-rename store tests before acceptance.

The journal, CAS snapshots, observer ordering, collision handling, and publication code are downstream of this ownership seam and should remain untouched during this isolation. No production crash or title behavior fix is established by the current evidence.

Added testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary to App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift. It awaits a clean Task.detached completion, then executes the existing MainActor path-changing title helper with the real VaultLinkRepair rename, flush, registry/backlink assertions, and structured shutdown.

Purpose: probe whether the hosted SIGABRT is tied to XCTest's task-local boundary around the rename operation while preserving the existing functional assertions. git diff --check passes. No local build/test/GUI run; reviewer must assess before root's hosted compile and VM execution.

Exact candidate: 5942cb90456089e41796bb5fb1b179749de9bc0b
Status: source review complete; no build or GUI run
Verdict: SOURCE FAIL (P2)

P2 — the control does not run the rename under a detached task-local context

  1. Location: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift, testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary, first statement and the harness/body immediately after it (new lines around 1647-1661).
  2. What can break: the test can reproduce the ordinary selector result while claiming to distinguish inherited XCTest task-local state; either pass or SIGABRT would be diagnostically meaningless for the proposed hypothesis.
  3. Why likely: await Task.detached(priority: .utility) { _ = UUID() }.value creates and completely destroys an unrelated detached task. After it returns, NoteEditorHarness.make, withHarness, flush, VaultSession.renameNote, and the nested VaultLinkRepair task are all created from the original XCTest async task, so they inherit the same XCTSwiftErrorObservation task-local context as before. Awaiting a detached task does not clear or replace the caller's task-local values.
  4. Scoped fix: move the complete existing helper invocation, including harness creation and structured withHarness cleanup, inside the detached operation. Keep the detached closure free of XCTest assertions if Sendability becomes an issue by returning a Sendable evidence/result value to the original test for assertion, or use a non-XCTest throwing @MainActor helper invoked from Task.detached { try await helper() }. The operation that creates the editor save task and calls real rename must descend from the clean detached task; an unrelated completed task is insufficient.

The extracted rename helper and its assertions are otherwise reused unchanged. This candidate is test-only, but it does not implement the previously approved isolation control.

Reviewer: /root/editor_polish_inventory
Scope: exact 8920c961 hosted evidence, both retained IPS reports, production VaultLinkRepair/VaultSession ownership, existing tests, and the proposed child-task removal. Read-only; no build/GUI/source edit.

Verdict: DO NOT remove or directly await through the production VaultLinkRepair.renameNote child task. Current evidence supports a hosted XCTest/NSFileCoordinator boundary diagnosis, not a production lifetime fix.

P1 — removing the owned task breaks cancellation and shutdown joining

  1. Location: Sources/CalternalStore/VaultLinkRepair.swift:256-266,349-360; consumers Sources/CalternalStore/VaultSession.swift:790-853.
  2. What can break: direct await performAppRename leaves no task in running. VaultSession.close() can no longer cancel an active rename and shutdown() can return without joining its scan, observer, journal, native move, publication, and index work. A vault/session owner could release security scope or delete a fixture while file mutation still runs.
  3. Why likely: cancel() and shutdown() operate exclusively on the stored task handles, and the caller cancellation handler explicitly forwards cancellation to that handle. Actor serialization does not supply an independently cancellable/joinable handle across suspension points. Existing Store tests cover rename correctness/collision/journal behavior, but the audit found no focused caller-cancel or shutdown-joins-active-rename regression that could protect a lifetime rewrite.
  4. Scoped action: retain the child task, running, tail, cancellation handler and join semantics. Do not make a production task-kind change without a real production reproduction plus caller-cancel and active-shutdown tests.

P2 — the crash evidence is correlated with hosted path-changing coordination, not the production child task

  1. Location: .agents/native-break/26eb-release-repro/Calternal-2026-09-13-083852.ips; /tmp/qa-runs/20260913-232653-title-controls-8920/16-Calternal-2026-09-13-105820.ips; four selector logs under .../vm-run/title/*/xctest.log.
  2. What can break: changing production task inheritance could mask an injected-test/sandbox failure while changing priority, task-local, and executor behavior for real vault mutations.
  3. Why likely: exact 8920c961 repeats the stable matrix: the new real same-path promotion/save passes, two non-renaming controls pass, and all four path-changing selectors log NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension / NSFileCoordinator ... could not get a sandbox extension, then abort with freed pointer was not the last allocation. Both IPS files terminate on the main thread at _swift_task_dealloc_specific -> XCTSwiftErrorObservation._observeErrors/XCTest; neither crashing stack contains a Calternal/VaultLinkRepair frame. The pre-feature rename control has the same hosted signature, while exact 26eb Release-app UI completed a real promotion/save/filename rename without a process crash. Native Undo is still unverified, so #5 remains blocked, but this evidence does not establish a production crash.
  4. Scoped experiment: keep production unchanged. Run one fresh-selector test whose entire real rename fixture—harness creation, editor save, VaultSession.renameNote, assertions-as-evidence collection, flush, shutdown, and fixture deletion—descends from a clean Task.detached. Use a non-XCTest @MainActor helper that returns a Sendable evidence struct; perform XCTest assertions only after awaiting that result in the original test. Compare it with the ordinary selector. If both abort after the sandbox-extension warning, stop pursuing task inheritance and add a second hosted control around the smallest real NSFileCoordinator move/snapshot boundary. If detached passes, treat it first as a test-harness workaround: production has no XCTest task locals and already passed the bounded Release route.

P2 — current detached control 5942cb90 does not test detached ancestry

  1. Location: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift, testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary around lines 1655-1670.
  2. What can break: either PASS or SIGABRT would be interpreted as evidence about task-local inheritance even though the tested rename still inherits the original XCTest task locals.
  3. Why likely: the test awaits a detached UUID/no-op task to completion, then creates the harness and runs the rename on the original XCTest async task. Awaiting an unrelated detached task does not clear the caller’s task locals.
  4. Scoped fix: move the complete fixture operation into the detached closure as described above; do not merely await a detached prelude. Keep the ordinary path-changing control and every persistence/link/Undo expectation for comparison.

The evidence narrows the failing hosted boundary to path-changing save/coordination, but does not distinguish XCTest task-local inheritance from the hosted sandbox coordinator. No production edit is justified yet. Issue #5 must remain open through a valid isolation control, completed native Undo/reopen, and user acceptance.

Status: source review complete; no build or GUI run
Verdict: SOURCE FAIL (P1 compile blocker)

P1 — async helper cannot be passed to MainActor.run

  1. Location: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift, testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary, new nested MainActor.run call around lines 1716-1719.
  2. What breaks: the AppTests target cannot compile, so the task-local isolation control cannot run.
  3. Why likely: MainActor.run takes a synchronous @MainActor () throws -> T body. The supplied closure is async because it executes try await runDetachedTitleMoveControl(), so Swift cannot convert it to the required synchronous function type.
  4. Scoped fix: call the global-actor helper directly from the detached task: try await Task.detached(priority: .utility) { try await runDetachedTitleMoveControl() }.value. Calling an @MainActor async function performs the actor hop while remaining within the clean detached task and therefore preserves the intended task-local boundary.

Apart from that compile blocker, the control now has the correct ownership shape: the detached task creates the harness, performs all four move/Undo/Redo mutations through the real rename path, and closes the harness before returning. The do/catch preserves a body error while attempting cleanup; the success path propagates shutdown/removal errors. Existing path, link, registry-identity, UUID/source, and Undo/Redo assertions are retained in the copied body. git diff --check 8920c961..5cf047c6 passes and only the test file changes.

This remains a diagnostic control. Even after compilation, a pass would support the inherited-task-local hypothesis but would not by itself justify removing the production operation registry or weakening cancellation/shutdown semantics.

Worker /root/title_completion — corrected reviewer-directed task-local isolation control is ready for exact source review.

  • Worktree: /Users/kayg/Developer/calternal-app/.worktrees/event-title-crash-control
  • Branch: wave16/event-title-crash-control
  • Exact candidate: 19b00ba6dbb658c63a2ccea9a345c0a17fd7c04a
  • Tree: df730f634c1c8ef47d6d59d391acfcd6c9a6a175
  • Base: rejected diagnostic 5942cb90456089e41796bb5fb1b179749de9bc0b
  • Scope: App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift only; no production source changed.

This fixes reviewer P2 on 5942cb90. testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary now creates the fixture, performs the real path-changing title save, verifies self/backlink and registry rebasing across Move → Undo → Redo → Undo, drains the editor and VaultSession, and deletes the fixture entirely as a descendant of Task.detached. The detached closure captures no XCTestCase. Its @MainActor free helper contains no XCTAssert/XCTUnwrap; each existing functional condition is represented by a throwing guard, and any error crosses .value to fail the outer async XCTest. Cleanup preserves the body error: failure performs best-effort close then rethrows; success awaits close.

This makes the control relevant to the task-local hypothesis: the production VaultLinkRepair child task is created below a detached task that cannot inherit XCTSwiftErrorObservation values from the XCTest invocation.

Worker `/root/title_completion` — corrected reviewer-directed task-local isolation control is ready for exact source review. - Worktree: `/Users/kayg/Developer/calternal-app/.worktrees/event-title-crash-control` - Branch: `wave16/event-title-crash-control` - Exact candidate: `19b00ba6dbb658c63a2ccea9a345c0a17fd7c04a` - Tree: `df730f634c1c8ef47d6d59d391acfcd6c9a6a175` - Base: rejected diagnostic `5942cb90456089e41796bb5fb1b179749de9bc0b` - Scope: `App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift` only; no production source changed. This fixes reviewer P2 on `5942cb90`. `testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary` now creates the fixture, performs the real path-changing title save, verifies self/backlink and registry rebasing across Move → Undo → Redo → Undo, drains the editor and VaultSession, and deletes the fixture entirely as a descendant of `Task.detached`. The detached closure captures no `XCTestCase`. Its `@MainActor` free helper contains no `XCTAssert`/`XCTUnwrap`; each existing functional condition is represented by a throwing guard, and any error crosses `.value` to fail the outer async XCTest. Cleanup preserves the body error: failure performs best-effort close then rethrows; success awaits close. This makes the control relevant to the task-local hypothesis: the production `VaultLinkRepair` child task is created below a detached task that cannot inherit `XCTSwiftErrorObservation` values from the XCTest invocation. The production `Task`, `running`, `tail`, cancellation handler, journal, observer ordering, persistence, and shutdown joining are unchanged. `git diff --check` passes and the worktree is clean. No build, runtime, GUI, or behavior pass is claimed. `/root/ui_fixes_review_medium` owns exact `19b00ba6` review; `/root/editor_polish_inventory` is separately reviewing whether any production task-lifetime change is justified by current evidence. Root remains sole compiler owner.

Reviewer: /root/ui_fixes_review_medium
Exact candidate: 19b00ba6dbb658c63a2ccea9a345c0a17fd7c04a
Base requested for review: 5942cb90456089e41796bb5fb1b179749de9bc0b
Status: source review complete; no build or GUI run
Verdict: TEST-ONLY SOURCE PASS

No P1-P3 findings. testTitleMoveAfterDetachedTaskBoundary now creates one detached task and directly awaits the free @MainActor helper; the actor hop changes executor without creating a replacement task, so the complete harness creation, editor save tasks, real VaultLinkRepair.renameNote, three subsequent Undo/Redo saves, shutdown, and fixture deletion all descend from the clean detached task-local context. The detached closure captures no XCTestCase or harness from the original test.

The helper contains no XCTest calls. Its throwing guards preserve the existing control's substantive expectations: edit acceptance; exact first move and old-path removal; self-link/backlink rewrites; registry old/new identity transfer; Undo restoration; Redo move; final Undo title/path/backlink/registry restoration. Its source fixture is byte-equivalent to the existing Self.source(body:) case, including UUID and metadata. A body/read/assertion error attempts harness.close() and then rethrows the original error; the success path propagates close/shutdown/removal errors. Thus the task does not return to XCTest until the detached lifecycle is drained.

git diff --check 5942cb90..19b00ba6 passes; only App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift changes; the worktree was clean at exact HEAD. This is a valid isolation control, not a production fix. A hosted pass would support the inherited-task-local hypothesis; a repeated sandbox-extension abort would leave hosted NSFileCoordinator as the stronger boundary.

Reviewer /root/editor_polish_inventory bounded hosted-configuration diagnosis after exact 8920c961 and 19b00ba6 evidence: do not change production rename/task ownership from these results.

P1 — hosted fixture does not reproduce production vault authorization. App/Tests/NoteEditorSessionTests.swift:164-185 creates the vault under an ordinary FileManager.temporaryDirectory; Sources/CalternalStore/VaultSession.swift:249-252 retains a root only when startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() succeeds. This temporary fixture therefore has no retained user-selected security scope, whereas the real app's vault does. Exact 19b then fails at the first coordinated path move with NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension and NSFileCoordinator ... could not get a sandbox extension. Moving the test through another Task cannot repair this authorization mismatch.

Smallest reversible control/fix: keep production untouched and stage one test-only host/fixture pair with a narrow read-write temporary-path entitlement for one fixed physical VM fixture prefix (for example /private/tmp/calternal-hosted-title/), then create the vault/support roots only under that prefix and run the existing real rename assertions unchanged. Do not grant / write access and do not weaken path guards. Compare it against the current container-temp run. If that control passes, retain the entitlement only in the hosted-test configuration or replace it later with a pre-authorized disposable security-scoped fixture.

P2 — the manual relocated XCTest launcher remains a competing runtime explanation. .agents/vm-xctest-runtime/stage-hosted-xctest-runtime.sh:479-510 injects a copied Xcode XCTest/private-framework closure through DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES into the VM's system Foundation/Swift runtime. Both failing logs emit many <invalid NS/CF object> messages from XCTest/App Intents before the selector; 19b exits SIGSEGV 139 without a new diagnostic report. Passing event and non-move selectors show that the runner starts, but do not validate the NSFileCoordinator bridge. Before attributing the crash to Calternal, run the same selector once with the official build-host xcodebuild test-without-building route, or add a minimal hosted NSFileCoordinator move control under the same signed host. A pass under the official runner would classify the relocated launcher as unsupported for this acceptance check.

Evidence limits: exact Release app title promotion/save/rename previously completed; 8920 path-changing selectors aborted, and detached 19b still crashed at the same sandbox-coordination boundary. This establishes neither a production rename bug nor a copied-runtime ABI bug by itself. Stop Task-wrapper experiments; the next evidence must vary authorization or runner configuration.
