Summary

Two source-scanning tests fail on any temp-file rename without a preceding fsync, and any http.Transport without an idle-connection pool — the two patterns behind the lost-file and connection-churn bugs — with every exemption carrying its written reason. The four writers the rename audit found are fixed: the TLS bridge CA, the SPIFFE SVID mirror, and agentop's config migration and settings writer, the last also moving off a predictable temp-file name.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when saving configuration, user settings, scripts, and security-related files. Changes are synchronized before replacing existing files, reducing the risk of incomplete saves.
    • Configuration updates use uniquely named temporary files and restrictive file permissions. If validation or saving fails, the existing configuration remains unchanged.
    • Increased connection reuse for the default HTTP client to help improve performance when making repeated requests.

Walkthrough

Several file replacement paths now sync temporary files before rename. The default LLM HTTP transport sets its per-host idle connection limit to 100. Parser-based source audits check transport settings and file writes that rename without a recognized sync.

Changes: Atomic writes and source audits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set and audit HTTP transport limits
core/llmclient/client.go, core/audits/source_audit_test.go
The default HTTP client uses a cloned transport with MaxIdleConnsPerHost set to 100. A parser-based audit checks transport literals for the setting and validates its exemptions.
Sync temporary files before replacement
cmd/agentop/cmd_config_migrate.go, cmd/agentop/cmd_script.go, cmd/agentop/userconfig.go, core/spiffe/mirror.go, core/tlsbridge/ca.go, cmd/agentop/*_test.go
Config replacement and script writing use unique temporary files and sync them before rename. Settings, mirror, and CA writes sync temporary files before rename. Tests check for leftover temporary files using patterns for the new names.
Audit file writes before rename
core/audits/source_audit_test.go
Parser-based audits identify file-writing functions that call os.Rename. They check that each rename source has a preceding recognized sync and reject stale exemptions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: huang195, clawgenti

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 1c0f2

The change adds temp-file syncs before rename and an idle-connection limit for the default LLM client. Because that client is now created per request on the incoming-model path, each request can open a new connection to the LLM gateway instead of reusing one, which adds connection setup and churn under load. Share the tuned transport before merging. The remaining items are small hardening fixes.

Explanation

Issue #1554 requires two source audits over non-test Go files in core and cmd. core/audits/source_audit_test.go walks and parses those trees, checks http.Transport literals for MaxIdleConnsPerHost, and checks temp-file renames for a matching Sync before each rename. Failure messages include file and line information and the required action. The transport and rename allowlists require a written reason and reject stale entries. The PR also fixes the reported rename writers and updates tests for unique temporary names. core/llmclient/client.go sets the idle pool on the default transport clone.

Summary

Two well-built go/ast audits (unsynced temp-file renames, http.Transport literals without MaxIdleConnsPerHost) plus the four Sync-before-rename fixes the rename audit turned up. I ran go test ./audits/ -v on the head commit and both pass. I also checked the predicate against hand-written cases: a sync placed after the rename, a sync of some other file, and a syncDir-only function are all rejected, while tmp.Sync() and n := tmp.Name() followed by os.Rename(n, …) are accepted. So the CodeRabbit order and subject concern is properly fixed. I traced every function on main that calls os.Rename through the audit. The four allowlisted ones are the only flagged writers, and the pure moves (archive, rotation, trash) are correctly left out. The CA, SVID-mirror, user-config and config-migrate fixes are all correct: the sync comes after the last write and chmod and before close and rename, and every error path closes the file and cleans up. Nothing blocks the merge. Three suggestions and one nit are inline: a temp-file test that no longer checks anything, one exemption reason that does not hold, and the transport audit's blind spot for the default transport.

suggestion: The temp file is now .<base>.tmp<random>, but TestReplaceConfig_VerifyFailureKeepsTheOriginal (cmd_config_migrate_pricing_test.go:307) still checks os.Stat(p + ".tmp"). That path can no longer exist, so the "temp file left behind" assertion can never fail. I checked by deleting the defer os.Remove(tmpName) on line 235: the test still passes and the temp file stays in the directory. Could you make the test check the directory for ."+filepath.Base(p)+".tmp*" (as cmd_experimental_test.go does) so the cleanup this PR moved into the defer is still tested? TestSaveUserConfig_LeavesNoTempFile already had the same blind spot before this PR, so it may be worth fixing both together.

suggestion: I don't think "reinstall restores them" holds for writeAtomic, because it also writes the install record (.agentop-install.json, lines 409/451 of cmd_script.go). If a crash leaves the record empty, readRecord fails. folderRecord then expects the folder to hold exactly the shipped files, and the record is not one of them, so the state becomes stateModified with no record. After that script install refuses ("already exists and was not written by install; move it out first"), and script remove sees an empty record and refuses too ("holds files install did not write"). The user can only get out by deleting files by hand. A lost write of a script file is fine, since remove followed by install recovers it. Since the fix is a few lines (os.WriteFile → CreateTemp/Write/Sync/Close, like setup_files.go:writeFileAtomic), I'd sync here and drop the entry rather than write the exemption down.

// connections (#1546). Every transport that serves ongoing traffic must raise

suggestion (follow-up is fine): The audit only sees Transport{...} composite literals. Neither path to Go's default of 2 idle connections per host goes through one. One is an http.Client{} with no Transport, which uses DefaultTransport. llmclient.New's default client does this, and it is what the IBAC judge and context-guru call LiteLLM-style gateways through, often concurrently: the #1546 pattern. The other is http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport).Clone() without setting MaxIdleConnsPerHost, as in apiclient.New. That one only talks to loopback, so it is harmless. Could the audit add a check for http.Client literals without a Transport key, or should the doc comment at least name this limit, so the audit's green result is not read as covering it?

nit: isTransport matches any <pkg>.Transport selector, so an http2.Transport{} literal outside a test would be flagged. http2.Transport has no MaxIdleConnsPerHost field, so its only way out would be an allowlist entry. Checking sel.X is the ident http (as callsSelector already does for os) would make the rule exactly as narrow as its message says.

Reject exemptions without a reason.

If a maintainer adds an exemption with an empty string, either audit accepts it when the key matches source. The PR requires a written reason for every exemption. Check strings.TrimSpace(reason) in this shared loop, alongside the stale-entry check. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Sync the directory after the rename.

If power fails after an update returns, the rename can be lost even though the file was synced. The installed scripts can then disagree with the install record, causing stateOf to report them as modified. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Sync the parent directory after each rename. Also account for newly created directories.

Based on learnings: sync the temp file before rename and the containing directory afterward.

Avoid the unconditional *http.Transport assertion.

If an application replaces http.DefaultTransport with a custom http.RoundTripper, this assertion panics before New returns. http.DefaultTransport is an exported RoundTripper variable, not a guaranteed *http.Transport. Only clone and tune the value when it has the *http.Transport type; otherwise preserve the custom transport. (pkg.go.dev)

Share the tuned transport across default clients.

When model.source: incoming is enabled, ContextGuru.OnRequest creates an incoming model for each request, and that path calls llmclient.New without an HTTPClient override. Each request therefore receives a new transport and a separate idle pool. Later requests cannot reuse earlier keep-alive connections, which causes repeated connection setup and transport churn under load. (github.com)

Create the tuned transport once at plugin or process scope and reuse it from default clients. Keep model and bearer values request-specific.
