fix(chat): bot-posted file links open the chat UI in a browser instead of downloading - #464
Conversation
Bots hand users created files as markdown links to absolute paths (e.g. a generated .docx in the bot's workspace). Those links rendered as target=_blank anchors and were routed through shell.openExternal, which only handles web URLs, so clicking them silently did nothing. - ChatMarkdown: detect absolute-path and file:// link targets and save via the new window.ogb.saveFile instead of window.open - main: desktop:save-file copies the file to ~/Downloads (collision- safe) and reveals it in Finder. Renderer-controlled paths are validated with realpath to resolve inside ~/.openmausbot and must be regular files. - preload/types: expose optional saveFile

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change routes bot-provided local paths through native saves, but on Windows the source can be replaced with a reparse point between validation and opening, allowing a file outside the permitted workspace to be copied.

Addresses both CodeRabbit findings and tightens the surrounding code. - ChatMarkdown: render bot-created file links as a button with no href. An <a href="file://…"> still reached setWindowOpenHandler on a middle or modifier click, and that path calls shell.openExternal without the main process' containment check, bypassing validation entirely. - save-file: canonicalise the allowed root with realpath before the containment check, so a symlinked ~/.openmausbot no longer rejects its own files. - Extract path validation and destination naming into electron/save-file.mjs with electron/save-file.node-test.mjs, matching package-link.mjs. Covers symlink escape, traversal, a symlinked bot home, relative and non-file targets, and collision suffixing. - Replace synchronous realpath/exists/copyFile with fs.promises so copying a large file cannot block the main process, and bound the collision loop. - Surface save failures in the bubble instead of swallowing them — the bug being fixed was a silent click, so a silent catch was the wrong remedy. Preload strips ipcRenderer's "Error invoking remote method" wrapper.
- localFilePath now recognises "C:\…" and "C:/…" as well as a leading slash, and strips the leading slash a file:// URL puts in front of a Windows drive letter. Without this the fix was macOS/Linux only and a Windows bot file link still dead-clicked. - Tests build file:// URLs with pathToFileURL rather than string concatenation, which produced an invalid URL on Windows. - Symlink cases skip where the runner cannot create a symlink (Windows without elevation or developer mode); the traversal and containment cases still run everywhere.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 7 remain after this review.
The Windows runner failed because the expectations resolved paths with
fs.realpathSync while the module under test uses fs.promises.realpath.
On Windows the callback API leaves 8.3 short names ("RUNNER~1") that the
promises API expands ("runneradmin"), so the two produced different
strings for the same file. Production code resolves both the target and
the allowed root through the promises API, so it was never affected.
The original description was wrong about the symptom. An absolute path in an href resolves against the page origin, so the link pointed at http://127.0.0.1:8799<path> — a real http URL that shell.openExternal opens happily. The server's SPA fallback then answers with index.html, so the click opened a second copy of the chat UI in the browser rather than doing nothing. Comments updated to say so. Review fixes: - copyIntoDirectory replaces availableDestination + copyFile. Checking for a free name and then copying left a window where concurrent saves picked the same name, and copyFile overwrites by default, so a second click could replace the first file. Claiming the name is now a single COPYFILE_EXCL copy that retries the next suffix on EEXIST, covered by a test that races eight saves at one name. - localFilePath matches the file scheme case-insensitively; FILE:// is as valid as file://. - LocalFileLink reports "needs a newer version of the desktop app" when the preload bridge has no saveFile, instead of returning silently — the same silent-click failure this PR removes.

changed the title
Copying straight into ~/Downloads left the user with no signal that anything had happened, or where the file went — the same "did that click work?" doubt the original bug caused. Clicking now opens the native save dialog titled "Where do you want to save it?", pre-filled with a non-colliding name in Downloads. - desktop:save-file shows dialog.showSaveDialog parented to the chat window (a sheet on macOS), with showOverwriteConfirmation so replacing a file is the user's explicit choice. - Cancelling resolves null and the bubble stays quiet: closing the dialog is a decision, not a failure. On success the bubble names the path the file actually went to. - copyIntoDirectory becomes defaultSaveName: the suffix logic now only seeds the dialog's default name. The COPYFILE_EXCL race is moot because the destination is whatever the user picked and the OS confirms any overwrite. - saveFile returns string | null, through the preload bridge and types.

Problem
When a bot creates a file and hands it over as a markdown link:
clicking Download opens a new browser window containing another copy of the chat UI. No file is downloaded, and there is no error. The only way to get the file out of the app is to dig through
~/.openmausbot/workspaces/in Finder.Root cause
The link never points where it looks like it points.
ChatMarkdownrenders it as<a href="/Users/me/.openmausbot/…/report.docx" target="_blank">hrefresolves against the page origin, so the real target ishttp://127.0.0.1:8799/Users/me/.openmausbot/…/report.docxwindow.open→setWindowOpenHandler→shell.openExternal(...). That is a genuine http URL, so it opens in the default browserserver/index.tsreadFileSync(join(STATIC_DIR, "index.html"))) answers 200 withindex.htmlSo the browser renders the app shell again. A
file://href fails differently —shell.openExternalignores non-web URLs — but the common case is the path one, and it is louder than "nothing happens".Reproduced on macOS (0.1.33) against a real transcript.
Fix
ChatMarkdown.tsx— a link whose href is an absolute path orfile://URL renders asLocalFileLink, a button that callswindow.ogb.saveFile(). Web links are untouched.desktop:save-file— opens the native save dialog ("Where do you want to save it?"), pre-filled with a non-colliding name in Downloads, then copies the file where the user chose and reveals it.electron/save-file.mjs— path validation and default-name selection as a pure module, followingpackage-link.mjs.What it looks like
Clicking a bot-posted file link on macOS 0.1.33. Previously this click opened a browser window showing another copy of the chat UI.
The dialog is parented to the chat window, so it arrives as a sheet rather than a detached modal. Save As is seeded by
defaultSaveName—newdoc.docxhere, ornewdoc (2).docxhad one already existed — and Where starts at Downloads but is the user's to change. Cancelling leaves the bubble unchanged; saving prints the chosen path back into it.Security
The path comes from model output, so it is untrusted:
realpathbefore the containment check, so neither a symlink inside the bot home nor a symlinked~/.openmausbotcan move the boundary.~/.openmausbotand must be a regular file.href.preventDefault()alone was not enough: as an<a href="file://…">a middle-click or modifier-click still reachessetWindowOpenHandler→shell.openExternal, skipping the containment check, so a prompt-injectedfile:///Users/me/.ssh/id_rsawould open. Dropping the href also removes the origin-resolution bug above at its source.showOverwriteConfirmation, so replacing an existing file is always an explicit choice.Testing
pnpm test:save-file, wired intopnpm test:file://..traversal out of the bot homereport.docx,report (2).docx, ….docxpreservedPlus
pnpm build,pnpm typecheck, CI on macOS/Ubuntu/Windows, and a manual end-to-end save of a real bot-generated docx.Notes
fs.promisesthroughout, so copying a large file cannot block the main process.C:\…andC:/…as well as a leading slash, so the fix is not macOS/Linux only.saveFilebridge — rather than being swallowed. Cancelling the dialog resolvesnulland says nothing, because closing it is a decision rather than a failure.Happy to narrow the allowed root to
workspaces/only if you would rather keep the permitted area tighter.Closes #465
