Closes #1376. Part of #649.

What this adds

The Windows mount path: a WinFsp host adapter over the shared operation core, built on winfsp (winfsp-rs) v0.12.6 per the decision on #1376 (2026-08-26), implemented and verified on a Windows 11 machine with WinFsp 2.1.25156 installed.

  • crates/fuse/src/adapters/windows.rs — a FileSystemContext implementation over the shared operation core. crates/fuse keeps #![forbid(unsafe_code)]: the one place v1 needed unsafe (copying a security descriptor into WinFsp's buffer) is now a tiny new crates/win-security crate (token → SID, the &mut [c_void] copy), while descriptor assembly is safe byte-building in adapters/descriptor.rs.
  • Access control — every node reports a self-relative security descriptor scoped to the mounting user (owner + SYSTEM, nobody else); without one, WinFsp grants every local caller exactly the access it asks for.
  • Invalidation → WinFsp notify — the core's inode-keyed invalidations are translated through a bounded PathBook (rebound on rename, dropped on delete) and served via winfsp-rs's notify timer; undeliverable notifications are counted, never silently swallowed. Notify buffers are sized for a full path, not a single name.
  • Case-insensitive lookup presentation — the Windows profile declares case_insensitive_lookup: true; the strict comparator still decides create/mkdir/rename-destination collisions, proven both ways (a case-only rename is a rename, not a collision).
  • Appends resolve an authoritative lengthwrite_to_eof goes through a new OperationCore::append_offset that forces stream projection, refusing with Unavailable rather than ever appending at a provisional offset.
  • Delete addresses identity, not a captured pathcleanup uses the current WinFsp-provided name and verifies the resolved node id against the handle's, so an ancestor rename (local or absorbed from a peer) can never retarget a delete-on-close.
  • CI — pinned WinFsp MSI provisioning (version + SHA-256 verified before elevated install) as a composite action on the Cargo Check & Test (Windows) leg; Windows clippy scoped to the crates that leg is authoritative for.
  • Licence conditions — the WinFsp notice ("WinFsp - Windows File System Proxy, Copyright (C) Bill Zissimopoulos", https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp) in the desktop shell footer and a new docs/ATTRIBUTION.md covering all three mount backends, with tests asserting the notice renders.
  • Desktop shell build/DELAYLOAD link wiring so the shell starts on machines where WinFsp is installed under Program Files rather than on PATH.

Review gates

/security-review and /crypto-privacy-review ran on the branch diff; ten deduplicated findings (3 high, 4 medium, 3 low) were folded back with seventeen new tests — access control above, stale-path delete, append-at-zero, notify path sizing, PathBook rebinding, a bounded resume map, the rename collision guard (both the wrong-node comparison and error-collapse-to-no-collision), close-time commit observability, a quiesce race, and a dead StatFs round-trip. The crypto gate confirmed the adapter contains no crypto, the SpillArea production-entropy constraint holds, and zeroization stays terminal-owner-only. /simplify then removed net 58 lines (shared directory-paging rule between the FUSE and WinFsp adapters, comment policy, dead round-trips).

Verification (Windows 11, WinFsp 2.1.25156)

  • cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy -p cipherbox-fuse -p cipherbox-win-security --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo clippy -p cipherbox-desktop --all-targets -- -D warnings — pass
  • cargo test -p cipherbox-fuse -p cipherbox-win-security — 236 passed, 0 failed
  • CI-equivalent workspace check/test (--exclude cipherbox-desktop --exclude cipherbox-contract --exclude fuser) — pass, 42 test binaries
  • apps/desktop pnpm test (tsc + vitest) — 58 passed; pnpm lint:tracker-refs — pass

Not verified here: a live Explorer round-trip. The desktop shell's mount lifecycle is not yet wired to the Windows adapter (mount/projected.rs still gates on linux/macos) — that is follow-up mount-lifecycle work, out of this issue's scope. The descriptor is asserted structurally; an actual second-account denial needs the desktop-e2e leg.

Notes for reviewers

  • DirEntry gained size/mtime_millis — WinFsp enumeration answers with a whole FSP_FSCTL_DIR_INFO, and both fields come from the render the listing already made rather than a per-child re-getattr.
  • Pre-existing, not touched: OperationCore::base_len short-circuits on the rendered size and can return a stale length after a remote republish; desktop-e2e.yml and desktop-staging-release.yml still carry inline WinFsp installs that could consolidate onto the new composite action; volume_params() hardcodes the production sync-timing profile.
  • The head commit is unsigned (signing agent unavailable at commit time); the rest of the branch is signed.

Note

Add WinFsp host adapter for Windows mounts

  • Introduces a full Windows WinFsp backend in windows.rs implementing FileSystemContext and push invalidation via WinFspInvalidator, with case-insensitive lookup, attribute caching, and directory enumeration markers.
  • Adds the cipherbox-win-security crate for Windows FFI helpers (current_user_sid, write_descriptor) and a self-relative OwnerOnlyDescriptor granting FILE_ALL_ACCESS to the current user and SYSTEM only.
  • Extends OperationCore with removable() to preflight deletions and append_offset() to resolve append EOF for writable handles; DirEntry now carries size and mtime_millis.
  • Centralizes shared adapter constants and pagination logic (ADVISORY_CAPACITY_BYTES, DOT_ENTRIES, Listed, page(), cursor_of()) in adapters/mod.rs for reuse across FUSE and WinFsp.
  • Adds WinFsp CI installation, delay-load build scripts, desktop attribution footer, and GPLv3 licensing notes.
  • Behavioral Change: Windows builds now depend on WinFsp (GPLv3) and distribute under GPLv3 as a combined work; adapters/mod.rs and crates/fuse/build.rs gate all WinFsp linkage behind #[cfg(windows)] and no-op on other platforms.

Windows had no mount path: the FS core's third host adapter was missing,
and the authoritative `Cargo Check & Test (Windows)` leg had nothing to
check. This lands it on winfsp-rs 0.12, following the shape the two FUSE
backends already have — a decoder inbound, an invalidator outbound, one
operation core between them.

What the protocol forces that the FUSE wire does not:

- A WinFsp callback returns its NTSTATUS, so the dispatcher thread that
  decoded a request is the one that must answer it. Every operation
  crosses to the engine task with a one-shot channel and the dispatcher
  blocks on it; WinFsp runs a pool of them, so several may wait while
  the pump stays serial.
- Requests name paths, not (parent, name) pairs, so every path-bearing
  callback resolves a component at a time through the core's `lookup`.
  That is what makes `case_insensitive_lookup` load-bearing here: the
  Windows profile declares it, `REPORT.TXT` resolves onto a stored
  `Report.txt`, and the engine's strict comparator still decides every
  collision.
- There is no FORGET, so this adapter takes no inode reference it would
  have to hand back. What is bounded stays bounded: the core's shadow
  maps, and this adapter's own inode-to-path book.

Invalidation maps onto `FspFileSystemNotify`, which winfsp-rs serves from
a timer rather than a call the filesystem makes. The invalidator queues
what the core reports and the notify tick drains it, naming each node by
the path a walk recorded for it; a node this mount never named to Windows
is one Windows holds nothing for, and a queue at its ceiling drops its
oldest rather than making the kernel wait.

Refusals come from the shared `VfsError` table in `ntstatus.rs`. The
crate keeps `forbid(unsafe_code)`: WinFsp grants a caller exactly the
access it asked for when a file system reports no security descriptor
(`FspAccessCheckEx`), so this projection — which enforces no ACLs —
reports none and never has to write one into WinFsp's out-buffer.

`DirEntry` grows the size and mtime the one render already had. A FUSE
`readdir` needs the name and kind alone; a WinFsp one answers with a
whole `FSP_FSCTL_DIR_INFO`, and re-`getattr`-ing every child to fill it
would put a whole directory into the engine's focus window.

The Windows leg is the only one that compiles the WinFsp host adapter,
and `winfsp-sys` builds its bindings against the headers and import
library the MSI installs — so a leg without WinFsp could not check the
adapter at all, which is the state this repairs.

Pinned by version and by digest, in a composite action beside
`setup-fuse-t` and for the same stated reason: the leg that compiles the
adapter and the legs that mount it must not sit on different releases.
The installer runs elevated and ships a kernel driver, so the digest is
verified before it is run, and the installation is verified after —
`winfsp-sys` and `winfsp_init` both find WinFsp through one registry key
and nothing else, so a build that never linked the installed driver
fails in the action rather than at mount time.

The leg also clippies now. `lint` clippies on Linux, where the WinFsp
adapter does not exist, so without this the adapter is the one part of
the workspace nothing lints.

…page

WinFsp's licence asks that the notice and a pointer to the project be
shown wherever the work is distributed. That condition rides with the
Windows backend rather than sitting beside it, so it is stated where the
backend is decided (blueprint/desktop.md "Backends"), collected with the
other mount backends' terms (docs/ATTRIBUTION.md), summarised where a
reader looks for licensing (README), and shown to the member who is
actually running the combined work (the shell's footer).

The footer is on every screen and on every platform. This window is one
screen and the notice is two muted lines; a build-time branch that could
silently drop a licence condition costs more than the lines do. The
address is text rather than an anchor — this shell has no opener plugin
and its CSP admits nothing but itself, so a live link would either do
nothing or navigate the only window away from a signed-in session.

…tive for

Running clippy across the whole workspace on Windows fails on code this
change does not touch: `cipherbox-desktop-seams`'s conformance test
imports `FloorStore` for tests gated `cfg(unix)`, so the import is unused
on Windows and `-D warnings` makes that an error. `cargo check` only
warns, which is why it has sat there unnoticed — no leg has ever linted
this platform.

Linting the workspace on Windows is worth doing and is its own change,
with its own fixes. What this leg owes the WinFsp host adapter is that
the adapter be linted at all, which it is not otherwise: `lint` clippies
on Linux, where the adapter does not exist.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The desktop shell depends on `cipherbox-fuse`, so on Windows it links the
WinFsp host adapter and every `Fsp*` call in it. WinFsp supports
delay-loading only, and a `/DELAYLOAD` arg a dependency's build script
states does not reach this binary's link — the same rule that already
makes this package restate FUSE-T's rpath. Without it the shell carries a
static import on `winfsp-x64.dll` and will not start on a device that has
WinFsp installed anywhere but `PATH`, which is every device, because the
MSI installs it under Program Files.
… trusting a path

Security and crypto review of the WinFsp host adapter found three ways
the mount could hand a caller something it should not have, and seven
smaller defects. Every one is answered here.

**The volume had no access control at all.** WinFsp runs its access check
only when the filesystem reports a security descriptor; report none and
`FspAccessCheckEx` grants the caller exactly the access it asked for.
Bypass-traverse-checking is granted to Everyone by default, so a second
local account could open a full path under another user's profile and
read the vault's plaintext — the check on the intermediate directories it
would have failed is the one that gets bypassed. The unix backends get
owner-only enforcement from the kernel; this one had an asserted comment.
Every node now reports a self-relative descriptor granting the mounting
user and SYSTEM and naming nobody else, and `set_security` refuses rather
than accepting a permission change it discards. The descriptor is
assembled and tested as bytes in safe Rust; the two calls that cannot be
— the process token's SID, and the copy into WinFsp's `&mut [c_void]` —
live in the new `cipherbox-win-security`, because `crates/fuse` forbids
`unsafe` and that is worth keeping.

**An append could overwrite the file it appended to.** The offset came
from `getattr`'s size, which is `None` until the content plane projects
one — the normal state of a file this mount has not read. Read as zero,
the append landed on the head of the file, and silently, because the
version it published still carried the right total length. The same
placeholder clamped a constrained write to nothing. Both now go through
`OperationCore::append_offset`, which resolves the head and refuses when
it cannot: a length nobody can state is not a length to append at.

**A delete trusted a path.** The disposition is set when a handle opens
and carried out when it closes, and in between an ancestor can move —
locally, or absorbed from a peer, which fires no callback at all. The
adapter discarded the current name WinFsp passes to `cleanup` and used
the one captured at open, so a node created at the vacated path was the
one that got removed. Cleanup now uses WinFsp's own name *and* checks it
still binds the node id the handle was opened on.

The rest:

- A rename compared its destination against the source's *parent*, so a
  case-only respell — the one Windows resolves and POSIX does not — was
  always refused as a collision. It compares against the source now.
- That same probe collapsed every error into "nothing in the way", so one
  transient refusal let a rename with `replace_if_exists` false destroy
  the destination. Only absence means absence.
- Notifications were built in a name-sized buffer and fed a whole path,
  so anything nested was silently unnotifiable — and push is the only
  thing that corrects this backend's caches. The buffer is sized for a
  path now, and what cannot be pushed is counted rather than dropped in
  silence.
- The inode-to-path book was never corrected by a rename or a delete, so
  a notification could name a path the vault no longer had — and, once
  something was created there, the wrong node.
- The directory resume map grew with what a peer committed, which is the
  one thing this module says it will not do. It holds one marker per open
  directory now: WinFsp's marker is the last name the filesystem
  transferred, so one answers every continuation. The dispatcher writes
  it, because only the dispatcher knows how much of a page fitted.
- A failed close-time commit vanished, because WinFsp's `Close` returns
  no status. It is counted, so a host can see that this mount closed a
  handle owing writes it never journaled.
- An operation could be enqueued just as `quiesce` finished draining,
  leaving a dispatcher thread waiting through the unmount for an answer
  nobody would give.
- `get_volume_info` made an engine round-trip and threw the reply away.

The operation logic moves onto a `Pump` held beside the WinFsp host
rather than inside the mount, which is what makes the identity a delete
checks, the collision a rename refuses, and the marker an enumeration
resumes from testable without a live volume.
…'s prose

The /simplify gate over the WinFsp host adapter.

Reuse and altitude:

- The dot-entry/offset algebra was written twice, once per wire. The one
  off-by-one in this crate that silently skips a file now lives once, in
  `adapters::page`/`cursor_of`, with each adapter keeping only its own
  packing map. `DOT_NAMES` and `ADVISORY_CAPACITY_BYTES` move with it.
- `Listing` kept `passed_dots` and `base`, both derived from one resume
  offset and re-clamped on every page. It keeps the offset.
- The adapter answered "may this be deleted" by walking the directory,
  which burned a walk id and a listing to compute a boolean and disagreed
  with the core's own rule on names no listing emits. `OperationCore::
  removable` exposes the predicate `unlink`/`rmdir` already gate on.
- `STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID` was declared twice; the shared table keeps it.
- `open`/`create` shared eight lines of `OpenNode` construction, and the
  `NodeKind` to `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_*` match was written twice.
- Four inline `FspError::NTSTATUS(ntstatus_of(..))` become `refuse`, the
  shape the FUSE wire already uses.
- `OpenNode` was exported with no way for a caller to obtain one.

Comments, per AGENTS.md: the 44-line module header restated three
invariants each stated at its own home; the "no descriptor means grant
everything" rationale appeared five times and the licence argument four.
Absence-justifying blocks (the unused reparse resolver, the unreachable
notify branch, the absent `set_security` paragraph) and happy-path
narration are gone. The decisions they defended are unchanged.

Also: `flush` took two pump round trips where `SetSize` shows the bundled
shape, and every path resolution opened with a `getattr(ROOT_INO)` whose
only use was an inode already known to be `ROOT_INO`.

The desktop shell links the WinFsp host adapter and states WinFsp's
`/DELAYLOAD` arg for its own binary, so `winfsp-sys` builds its bindings
against the headers and import library the MSI installs — and panics with
"WinFsp installation directory not found" without them. Provisioning
reached only the leg that checks the adapter, not the one that builds the
shell around it.

Gated the way this job already gates FUSE-T, and placed the same way:
ahead of the cache restore, because the bindings it generates are cached
under `target`. The composite action exports `LIBCLANG_PATH` into the job
environment itself, so bindgen needs nothing further here.

The two desktop workflows that build on Windows carry their own pinned
WinFsp installs and are untouched.
zizmor's `github-env` audit failed the security gate on both writes. A
composite action carries no trigger of its own, so an environment-file
write in one has to be assumed to run under an attacker-triggered caller
— which is the audit's whole point, and the reason to remove the writes
rather than suppress the finding.

Neither was needed. WinFsp is delay-loaded and `winfsp_init` resolves the
DLL out of `InstallDir`, exactly as it does on a member's machine, which
is the arrangement worth testing anyway; linking resolves the import
library from the same registry key through `winfsp-sys`. And `clang-sys`
already finds libclang under `C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin` without being
told: this machine has no `LIBCLANG_PATH` set and no clang on `PATH`, and
`winfsp-sys` builds its bindings there regardless. A `LIBCLANG_PATH`
export was only ever a second place for that answer to go stale.

The registry and directory verification the action does is untouched, so
a leg without a usable WinFsp still fails in the action rather than deep
inside a build script.

Verified with the pinned scanner the gate runs: zizmor 1.25.2 reproduces
both findings on the old file and reports none on the tree.

🌐 Web query:

Under Rust's raw pointer rules, is dereferencing a *const TOKEN_USERcreated fromVec::as_ptr()valid whenVecdoes not guaranteealign_of::<TOKEN_USER>()alignment? Isptr::read_unaligned the correct safe-FFI pattern?

💡 Result:

Under Rust's raw pointer rules, dereferencing a *const TOKEN_USER created from Vec<u8>::as_ptr() is invalid—and constitutes undefined behavior (UB)—if the pointer does not satisfy the alignment requirements of TOKEN_USER [1][2][3]. In Rust, the * dereference operator requires that a raw pointer be properly aligned for the pointee type [2][3][4]. Alignment is a fundamental safety constraint for raw pointers in Rust, regardless of whether the underlying hardware might technically support unaligned access [5]. Using ptr::read_unaligned is the correct, safe-FFI pattern for this scenario [6][7][8]. Key considerations for this pattern: 1. Alignment Requirement: The requirement for proper alignment when dereferencing applies to the type being accessed, not just the field [2]. Even if the memory is technically accessible, dereferencing an unaligned pointer violates the memory model [5]. 2. ptr::read_unaligned: This function is explicitly designed to handle unaligned memory. It creates a bitwise copy of the value at the provided address without requiring the pointer to be aligned [7][9][8]. 3. Safety: While ptr::read_unaligned bypasses alignment checks, you must still ensure that the pointer is non-null, valid for reads of size_of::<TOKEN_USER>() bytes, and points to a properly initialized value of that type [7][9]. If the source memory contains invalid bit patterns for TOKEN_USER (e.g., an invalid enum discriminant), reading it is still undefined behavior [7][9]. In summary, do not dereference the pointer directly. Instead, use unsafe { ptr.cast::<TOKEN_USER>().read_unaligned() } (or similar, ensuring the pointer is cast correctly) to safely read the value from the byte buffer [7][9][8].

Read TOKEN_USER without assuming alignment.

information is a Vec<u8>, so its pointer is not guaranteed to meet TOKEN_USER alignment. The &* dereference can therefore invoke undefined behavior before User.Sid is read. Use ptr::read_unaligned to copy TOKEN_USER first.

binding. WinFsp and winfsp-rs are both **GPLv3**, and the Windows build is a
combined work with them: it is distributed under GPLv3, with WinFsp's
[commercial licence](https://winfsp.dev/) as the alternative for a distribution
