Land the crash-recoverable managed-file transaction engine (journal,
staging, commit, restart recovery, opaque snapshots, private artifacts,
Windows DACL hardening) and the Kiro IDE 1.0 workspace hook plugin with
legacy migration.
Repair five defects that kept the suite red (426 failures to zero):
- Anchor the transaction state directory at ~/.elydora/transactions
instead of the shared system temp directory. The recovery journal now
shares fate with the runtimes it repairs, survives temp cleaners, and
isolates naturally under per-test fake homes.
- Skip pending-transaction recovery when no state directory exists so
rejected installs never create runtime directories.
- Create the runtime root's parent before hardening it, matching the Go
SDK's expand behavior for fresh homes.
- Stop using file timestamps as identity evidence: Windows exposes
mtime/ctime with delayed cross-handle visibility. Reads now prove
stability through a verification re-read; snapshots compare device,
inode, size, and SHA-256.
- Stop comparing synthetic Windows permission bits across stat
boundaries: path stats derive execute bits from file extensions while
handle stats do not, which falsely flagged every managed .cmd wrapper.
Snapshots store raw modes for restoration and compare portable bits.
Reservation cleanup now verifies content before discarding so a
concurrent writer's file at a rollback path is preserved, and the
install-failure tests assert the precise contract: no agent runtime
residue, with the durable state directory allowed to remain.
Gates: pytest 807 passed, mypy clean, pip check clean, wheel builds.
