The aborted exit no longer awaits close (Node queues it behind any in-flight read, chaining the departed caller back onto the very stall the abort escaped) — the abandoned close's failure is swallowed, it has no consumer. Symlink stat probes race the signal too, with a per-candidate abort check between probes, so a stalled probe target cannot keep a departed request alive. The deferred handle cleanup after a lost opendir race now consumes its own close failure instead of leaking it as an unhandled rejection.

The in-app browsing backend of the directory-picker seam: BrowseDirectoryPicker registers ctx.directoryPicker with the browse capability — one-level directory listing and child-directory creation over Node's stdlib, which already carries the per-OS adaptation. Nothing renders on the host display, so this backend serves remote clients the native backend cannot.
Behavior facts: listings return directories only, name-sorted, with symlinks-to-directories followed (broken/cyclic links skipped — the probe stat failing means "not enterable") and a host-owned hidden flag (POSIX dot convention) left for the client to act on; crumbs is the root-to-target ancestor chain, the root crumb labeled by its full path (/, C:\); an absent list path means the host account's home directory. createDirectory is non-recursive (a missing parent is a real failure, not a level to invent) and validates the name as a single non-blank segment even when called directly, mirroring the wire schema's fence. Both primitives reject an explicit path that is not fully qualified — relative forms, and on Windows the rooted drive-less forms (\foo, /foo) and incomplete UNC prefixes (\\, \\server) that isAbsolute accepts — with directory-unreadable/directory-create-failed, instead of letting resolve rebase it under the host process cwd or current drive. One list call returns at most maxEntries rows (config, default 1000 — the bound GitHub's web UI applies to directory listings), and the level streams through a bounded window so memory stays O(maxEntries) no matter how many children the directory holds: a cut level keeps the name-sorted head, counts hidden rows against the bound, probes only windowed candidates, and reports truncated: true so the client can say the level is incomplete (a windowed broken symlink is not backfilled from beyond the window — the eviction already marks the level truncated); window insertion is binary with an O(1) full-window tail rejection, and list threads the caller's AbortSignal so a disconnect or timeout stops the scan instead of letting it outlive the caller. Failures throw the seam's typed DirectoryPickerError. Policy rationale: the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note.
Model Experience
None, as the backend serves the GUI host's directory selection; nothing here reaches a model request.
KV Cache effect
None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- No client half yet — the in-app browsing dialog that consumes these primitives lands in the next PR of this stack; until then a
-browsecomposition hides the picking affordance entirely (ui-workspace's documented empty-hole default) and the listing/creation RPCs go unconsumed. - Windows hidden attribute is not read — Node dirents do not expose
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN, sohiddenmeans dot-prefixed on every platform until a native probe is worth its cost. - No drive-root enumeration — on Windows the ancestry stops at the drive root; crossing drives waits for the browser UI's path-entry affordance rather than an enumeration primitive here.
- Whole-filesystem scope — no per-deployment browse-root restriction;
workspace.createaccepts arbitrary paths today, so a root here would be UX scoping, not a boundary — deferred until a deployment needs it.
