From 5fcdf03d6aff840f54bdf56fc7878942b58845fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:18:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/76] fix: synchronize SessionManager and return snapshots instead of pointers The desktop frame loop, its background workers, PayloadClient and the external debugger backend share one SessionManager, which had no lock. Attach/Detach/Activate/PruneDeadSessions mutated the session map while other threads read it, ActiveTargetId() returned a reference to mutable state and ActiveTarget()/ActiveCapabilities() returned pointers into a session a later detach could free. Every member now takes one mutex; the catalog's process open runs outside it. ActiveTargetId() returns a copy and ActiveTarget()/ActiveCapabilities() return std::optional snapshots. Existing callers compile unchanged. The session test now checks that a snapshot outlives a detach and runs four readers against a writer that attaches, detaches, activates and prunes. Under ThreadSanitizer the previous implementation reports 45 data races and 14 heap-use-after-free on it; this one reports none.

With a good .bak, the first save deleted that backup and moved the damaged primary into its place. A damaged primary or backup is now copied to .damaged- first, and the damaged primary is removed so the next save keeps the good backup. If an unreadable primary cannot be copied (locked, access denied), saves fail for the session instead of replacing it. LoadJsonFile no longer leaves a half-parsed document in its output. project::LoadStatus() reports the source, the quarantined copies, saves_blocked and the schema version; the runtime logs it at start-up. cortex_project_store_{backup,damaged,fresh,locked} cover each case.

Every benchmark also checks its result; --quick is the CTest smoke. It does not measure ReadProcessMemory, the MCP round trip or UI frame time. The GUI release job records a Windows run as an artifact, and the Ubuntu contracts job runs the session manager test under ThreadSanitizer.

The reference benchmark JSON is under docs/benchmarks. Also corrects disasm.h: the disassembler decodes the runtime's own bitness, not only x86-32.

Under ThreadSanitizer, the previous code showed data races and heap-use-after-free when sessions were attached or detached while another thread read them. All members are now synchronized. `ActiveTargetId()` returns a copy, and `ActiveTarget()` / `ActiveCapabilities()` return `std::optional` snapshots instead of pointers into a session a detach could free. +- **Settings could be truncated.** `cortex-ui-settings.json` and the runtime `cortex.ini` were rewritten in place; a crash or full disk mid-write left a truncated file. Both are now written to a temporary file and replaced atomically (`services::WriteFileAtomically`). +- **A damaged project file could be lost.** When `.json` did not parse, the runtime fell back to `.bak` or to defaults, and the next saves rotated the damaged bytes away. With a good `.bak`, the first save destroyed that backup. Damaged files are now copied to `.damaged-` first. The damaged primary is no longer rotated over a good backup. If an unreadable file cannot be copied (locked, access denied), saves fail instead of replacing it. `project::LoadStatus()` (logged at start-up) reports where the project was loaded from. + +### Tests and CI + +- `cortex_session_manager_tests` checks that snapshots outlive a detach, and that reads stay consistent while another thread attaches, detaches and prunes.

Each one is covered by a test that fails +without it. + +### 5.1 `SessionManager` data races and use-after-free + +**Problem.** One `SessionManager` is shared by the desktop frame loop, its +`std::async` workers (scans, pointer scans, `RunInBackground`), `PayloadClient` +and the external debugger backend. It had no lock: `Attach`, `Detach`, +`Activate` and `PruneDeadSessions` mutated an `unordered_map` and a string that +other threads read. `ActiveTargetId()` returned a reference to that string. +`ActiveTarget()` and `ActiveCapabilities()` returned raw pointers into a +session that a later detach could free. + +**Fix.** `core/target/session_manager.{h,cpp}`: + +- one mutex over all state; +- the catalog's process open runs outside the lock; +- `ActiveTargetId()` returns a `std::string`; +- `ActiveTarget()` and `ActiveCapabilities()` return `std::optional` snapshots. + +Every existing caller compiles unchanged. + +**Evidence.** The extended `tests/session_manager_tests.cpp` adds two checks: +a held snapshot outlives a detach, and 4 reader threads run against a writer +that attaches, detaches, activates and prunes. Under ThreadSanitizer, the +previous implementation reports **45 data races and 14 heap-use-after-free**. +The new one reports none. The Ubuntu `contracts.yml` job now runs this test +under TSan with `halt_on_error=1`. + +### 5.2 Non-atomic settings and `cortex.ini` writes + +**Problem.** `SettingsStore::Save` and the `cortex.ini` sync opened the live +file with `std::ios::trunc`. A crash or a full disk mid-write left a truncated +file. A truncated settings file is reset to defaults on load. A truncated +`cortex.ini` can silently drop `project_directory` or the diagnostics settings. + +**Fix.** A new `services::WriteFileAtomically` in `core/services/user_data.h` +writes `.tmp`, flushes it, then replaces the file. On Windows it uses +`MoveFileExW(REPLACE_EXISTING | WRITE_THROUGH)`; elsewhere it uses `rename`. It +removes the temporary on failure. Both writers now use it. + +**Evidence.** The new `tests/settings_store_tests.cpp` +(`cortex_settings_store_tests`) checks: + +- the settings round-trip; +- the `.ini` keeps unmanaged keys and comments, and drops duplicates; +- no temporary file is left behind; +- a stale temporary from a crashed write is ignored and replaced; +- a failed replace leaves the previous file intact. + +It passes natively and under Wine. Against the previous code, the +leftover-temporary check fails. + +### 5.3 A damaged project file could be lost + +**Problem.** If `.json` did not parse and `.bak` was missing or also +damaged, the runtime silently started from defaults. The next two saves then +rotated the damaged bytes into `.bak` and deleted them, so the investigation +records were unrecoverable. When the primary was damaged but `.bak` was good, +the first save moved the *damaged* primary into `.bak`, destroying the only +good backup. + +**Fix.** `core/project/project.cpp`: + +- an unreadable primary or backup is copied to `.damaged-` + before anything else happens; +- the damaged primary is then removed, so the next save does not rotate it + over the good backup; +- if an unreadable primary cannot even be copied (locked, access denied), + every save in that session fails rather than replace bytes nobody has kept; +- `LoadJsonFile` no longer leaves a partially parsed document in the output; +- the new `project::LoadStatus()` reports the load source (`primary`, `backup`, + `new` or `defaults_after_damage`), the quarantined copies, `saves_blocked` + and the schema version. The runtime log records it at start-up. It is not + yet exposed over MCP or in the UI (step 5). + +**Evidence.** The new `tests/project_store_tests.cpp` runs four CTest +scenarios: `backup`, `damaged`, `fresh` and `locked`. They check the +quarantined bytes, the load source, that the backup is still valid after two +saves, and that a locked, unreadable primary is never replaced. All four pass +under Wine. + +### 5.4 Smaller corrections + +- `core/disasm/disasm.h`: the comment said the disassembler decodes x86-32; it + decodes the runtime's own bitness. + +## 6.

The existing types stay as they are. + 3. **Per-operation target binding.** Every MCP call already carries + `_cortex_target`. Make the desktop models carry the target id+generation + they were started for, and refuse completion if the active target changed + (the PID-reuse test exists in `session_manager_tests`). + 4. **Result contract.** Map `OperationSnapshot` and the route + `response_contract.h` into one `{status, error, cause, target, generation, + duration_ms, limits, data, evidence[], permissions_required, rollback}` + shape. Adopt it first in the scan and debugger models. +- **Validation:** + - an app-models test (scripted transport): a UI selection is visible through + the MCP context tool; + - a multi-target E2E: two fixtures, switching the UI target does not redirect + an in-flight agent call. +- **Depends on:** nothing. + +### Step 3: manual mode + +- **Reuse:** almost everything in §3.1 is already functional; the matrix shows + the scanner and debugger are complete. +- **Gaps:** + - pointer path classification across sessions (stable / candidate / + invalidated); + - a memory-viewer diff between two captures; + - a one-action jump from a value to the instruction that writes it (it exists + as several menus: shorten the path); + - rollback refusal when a patched region changed incompatibly (verify it + exists, then test it). +- **Tasks:** + 1.

From e9cf1d848d55d64f85da37259803eae3268d54f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:59:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 06/76] feat: typed runtime event catalog with explicit gap reporting The event ring kept 2048 untyped events and gave a consumer no way to learn that events were evicted before it read them. events::types names the runtime's event types, and events::Read returns the oldest held id and how many ids after the caller's last one were already dropped (missed, gap). /ui/events reports the same fields alongside its existing ones. cortex_events_tests covers contiguous ids, eviction and gap arithmetic.

Each runtime now keeps one investigation context (core/context): pid and process generation, modules with module+RVA locations, the person's address selections, observations with provenance and a bounded history of tool calls. - Routes GET /context, GET /context/events, POST /context/observation and POST /context/select. The route semantics live in context_api so they are tested without a target. - MCP tools context_get and context_events (observe), reachable from the compact profile through capture_runtime_state, and context_observation_add (state tier, classified and fixture-locked). /context/select is desktop-only and absent from the manifest. - Caller provenance (context/caller.h) is set by the pipe dispatcher from the authenticated envelope, never from tool arguments, and grants no authority. - Every primitive call, direct or semantic, lands in the context history; an agent's state-changing calls publish agent.action_* events with argument names only. Knowledge writes publish knowledge.updated and evidence.created. - api::response::Operation is the common result contract the context routes return. - Every context route takes expected_generation and refuses a stale one with stale_target_generation before recording anything. cortex_investigation_context_tests (also under ThreadSanitizer in CI) and a live-runtime step in native_mcp_stdio_e2e.ps1 cover it.

If the target exited and its PID was reused by another process carrying a runtime, the desktop or cortex.exe mcp could keep talking to the wrong process. status now reports the runtime's process generation (creation time) and VerifyTarget refuses a mismatch with payload_target_generation_mismatch. Runtimes that report no generation are accepted on the PID alone, and 0 on either side means unknown, as in SessionManager. SetDesktopChannel marks the desktop's envelopes so the runtime attributes the records they create to the person; it grants no authority.

It never loads the runtime and pins the active target's generation. - Address menu: "Share with investigation context". - Project workspace: a Knowledge tab listing project_knowledge_put records as stored (status as asserted, revision, evidence count, byte check) and an Investigation context tab with entries, provenance and recent tool calls; both refresh on knowledge.updated, evidence.created, context.* and agent.action_* events. - AppState marks the desktop's runtime envelopes as the desktop's. cortex_app_models_tests drives the model against the real context route semantics: the selection is what an agent reads as module+RVA, an agent's observation is what the desktop shows with its session, and a stale generation is refused.

From 3b6c87d7602b03815a3aa2461686481446fabfe7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 14:30:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 11/76] feat: desktop state, breakpoint hits and the result contract in the runtime - POST /context/share (desktop channel only): the desktop shares the state the runtime cannot see by itself, its value-scanner results and its external debugger's breakpoints and paused threads. The newest share of each kind is kept, bounded (256 rows, 64 KiB), validated, with every address given its module+RVA location; context_get returns it as shared_state and context.state_shared is published. - breakpoint.hit: InvestigationContext::UpdateBreakpointHits publishes counter increases for the runtime's VEH breakpoints (polled by each context route) and the desktop debugger (each share). Nothing is published from the exception path; the first poll is the baseline and a breakpoint added later counts from zero. - response::Annotate adds the common contract fields to scan_new, scan_next and debug_breakpoint_add without changing any field they already return; the breakpoint names its rollback.

A value scan, which runs while the UI stays live, records the target it started on: a result that finishes after the target changed is discarded. A pointer scan from a previous process is kept (its paths are module-relative) but labelled for rescan. Each finished scan is shared with the investigation context when the runtime is connected (switch in the memory workspace, on by default), and the frame loop shares the debugger's breakpoints, hit counters and paused threads at most once a second when they change.

Status is stable once the target was reached in two distinct known generations, invalidated after a single miss, candidate otherwise; a generation of 0 never proves a second process. The scan records its own generation and the file format v2 keeps the history (v1 still loads). The desktop pointer table gains a Status column and Validate here. Memory viewer: Capture keeps the 64 KB window; with Compare with capture every byte that differs stays highlighted, with a changed-bytes count and Next change. services::DiffRuns ignores pages unreadable in either capture. The viewer resets on a reused PID (TargetKey) like the other workspaces.

The manifest lists its addresses and the global's RVA. tests/manual_demo_e2e.py runs the step 3 workflow on it over MCP: scan for the value, narrow it after the action, watch it, catch the write with a hardware breakpoint, check the instruction lies in CortexDemoApplyDamage and is the store ending at the trap address, read the function's CFG, save a pointer path that resolves to the scanned address, a named address and a knowledge record with the hit as evidence, then clean up. The GUI suite runs it for x64 and x86. Also corrects the disasm tool description (it is not x86-32 only).

Step 4 becomes static analysis on an artifact-provider architecture: the offline PE model is its first provider, followed by JS/Electron and .NET static providers. Decompilation and live debugging (ILSpy, Vineflower/CFR, CDP, the CLR, JDWP, debugpy) are added to step 8, evidence and cross-runtime workflows to steps 5-7, and fuzzing and live E2E to step 9. Section 8 records the principles (one provider system; static, decompile and live capabilities validated separately; the native engine unchanged; security unchanged), the priority order and the validation fixtures.
