Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The ledger safety checks remain intact and the startup warning is advisory. Merge risk is bounded to missed warnings for symlinked synced folders and misleading documentation; correct these localized issues or accept them for follow-up. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The inspected changes preserve strict ledger-file refusal controls and prevent warning failures from interrupting startup. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Confidence is limited by incomplete comparison coverage and unverified compatibility for consumers that identify errors by name.

Qualify the sync-provider cause as unconfirmed.
This section presents transient hard links from sync services as the explanation for the intermittent refusals. The PR objectives state that the reported incident’s root cause is not confirmed. Describe this as a possible mechanism, so users do not treat the advisory location match as proof of the cause.
Proposed wording
-macOS sync services, including iCloud Drive with "Desktop & Documents Folders" turned on and
-File Provider clients such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive, can briefly keep a second link
-to a file while they stage or upload a change. If the state directory is inside such a folder,
-the journal can have two links for a moment after an ordinary write. A request that lands in
-that moment is refused, and the next one may succeed. Once the sync settles, the file is back to
-one link, so inspecting it afterwards shows nothing wrong.
+The reported failure is consistent with a synced folder temporarily exposing the journal with an
+extra hard link, which the strict guard refuses. The cause of the reported intermittent failures
+has not been confirmed. A later inspection may show only one link if the extra link is temporary.As per path instructions, “Check that user-facing docs stay in sync with actual CLI/API behavior.” The PR objectives state that the incident’s root cause is not confirmed.

Canonicalize each detection root before comparing paths.
If ~/Library/CloudStorage is a symlink to another directory, canonical(dir) resolves a state directory beneath it to that destination. Line 47 compares this resolved target with the unresolved ~/Library/CloudStorage root. The detector returns undefined, so startup omits the synced-location warning.
Apply canonical to the root before folding it. Add a regression in tests/lib/synced-state-location.test.ts where the injected realpath resolves both the root and its descendant to an external directory.
Proposed fix

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Qualify the filesystem ownership requirement by platform.
Line 152 states that every admitted file belongs to the process user. However, src/lib/spend-reservation-ledger.ts, Line 484, checks stat.uid only when process.platform !== "win32". The documented guarantee therefore exceeds the implemented check on Windows.
State that the process-user ownership requirement applies on non-Windows platforms. Keep the regular-file and link-count requirements platform-independent.
As per coding guidelines, a structure document states “the contract that holds right now.”

#6414) On every host, classify synced-state paths with POSIX path operations. Only macOS runs this detection, but the darwin-injected tests use POSIX fixtures, and on Windows CI the host path module produced backslashes and drive letters, so five classification cases failed (dev CI windows 5/9 after #6398).

Summary
Refs #6314. On macOS, requests through the proxy failed intermittently with
502 Provider unreachable: Spend-ledger storage could not be opened safely.while other requests in the same session succeeded. The reporter's instrumented build showed which check fired: the spend journal had two directory entries (nlink == 2) at the moment of the request. The stopped files were back to one, and an offline fixture outside the user's Documents folder never produced a second link. Their state directory was under Documents. The likely cause is a sync service (iCloud Desktop & Documents, or a File Provider client) briefly holding a second hard link while it stages a change. The reporter has been asked to confirm, so this PR does not claim the root cause.The hard-link guard is correct and stays strict. This PR makes the refusal diagnosable and the cause avoidable:
assertSafeLedgerFilenow raisesSpendLedgerFileRefusedError, a subclass ofSpendLedgerOwnerErrorwith the sameSPEND_LEDGER_OWNER_UNAVAILABLEcode, so existing handling is unchanged. It carries a role (journal,journal-compaction,salt) and a condition (not-regular-file,symbolic-link,extra-hard-link,foreign-owner,invalid-salt). Example:Spend-ledger storage could not be opened safely (journal: extra-hard-link)., plus a one-sentence hint to move the state directory out of a synced folder. Both values come from a fixed vocabulary, so the message never contains a path, salt, alias or request content.src/lib/synced-state-location.tschecks whether the state directory resolves inside iCloud Drive (~/Library/Mobile Documents), a File Provider folder (~/Library/CloudStorage), or Desktop/Documents while iCloud Desktop & Documents sync appears to be on. If it does,acquireSpendLedgerServerLifecyclewarns once. The check is macOS-only and advisory: it never refuses anything, and the warning names the kind of location, not the path.structure/transports/responses-spend.mdrecords the refusal contract and the advisory module.Verification

It checks that append and compaction both refuse with rolejournaland conditionextra-hard-link, that the message names neither the directory nor the journal file name, and that the journal bytes are unchanged.
