Add a gated Known Limitations and Deferred Work section to every package README
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).

- **`writeText`** — atomic: writes to a temp file opened exclusively (`wx`, `0o600`) inside a randomly-named private staging dir (`0o700`) next to the target, fsyncs, then renames over the target. An existing file's mode is preserved, while new files default to `0o600`. The `expected` guard is OPTIONAL: omitting it unconditionally creates-or-overwrites; `createIfAbsent` creates a missing target and rejects an existing one (`FS_NOT_OBSERVED`); `replaceIfVersion` replaces only at the observed version (a missing target or mismatch is `FS_STALE_VERSION`).
|
||||
- **`editText`** — atomic literal read-modify-write over the same primitive, serialized per target by a mutation lock. The `expected` guard is OPTIONAL: when supplied it verifies the version BEFORE literal matching (a stale edit reports `FS_STALE_VERSION`, never `FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUND`/`FS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT` against newer content); omitting it edits the current content unconditionally. A missing target reports `FS_STALE_VERSION` either way. LF-normalizes for matching, restores the file's dominant CRLF/LF style, and rejects empty `oldString` / zero matches (`FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUND`) or ambiguous multi-matches without `replace_all` (`FS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT`).

## `cwd` is not a sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
`config.cwd` is a resolution default, not a containment boundary — absolute paths and `..` escape it. Enforce containment with a stricter `ctx.fs` backend or a permission plugin on the `tools/execute` waterfall. See [the filesystem capability-seam RFC's Consequences section](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-17-filesystem-capability-seam.md#consequences).

The raw I/O lives in `src/fsio.ts` (Cordis-free, independently unit-tested); `src/index.ts` is the thin service wiring.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **`config.cwd` is not a sandbox** — it is a resolution default, not containment: absolute paths and `..` escape it. Enforce containment with a stricter `ctx.fs` backend or a permission plugin on the `tools/execute` waterfall ([capability-seam RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-17-filesystem-capability-seam.md#consequences)).
|
||||
- **An overwrite reads the whole prior file into memory** — solely as the UI diff basis; bounding that pre-read above a size threshold is deferred (`TODO(overwrite-diff-bound)`).
|
||||
- **Version tokens are `mtimeMs:size`** — an external change that preserves both within the filesystem's timestamp granularity defeats the stale guard.
|
||||
- **`editText` holds the whole file (plus the edited copy) in memory** — streaming exists only on the read path.
|
||||
- **Binary detection is asymmetric** — reads NUL-sample only the first 8192 bytes while edits scan the whole buffer, so a file with a late NUL reads fine but rejects edits.
|
||||
- **The per-target mutation lock is in-process only** — a writer in another process is caught only by the optional version guard, never serialized.
