Summary

The Windows identity lookup shells out to powershell.exe and read its stdout with a bare Buffer.toString(), which is UTF-8. Windows PowerShell 5.1 writes the console output code page instead, so on a ko-KR, ja-JP or zh-CN host any non-ASCII account name decoded to U+FFFD, and identityFromResult then froze that corruption into the process identity cache.

The SID on the first line is ASCII by construction and survives either way, which is why this stayed invisible: nothing breaks until something compares the name. A scheduler task registered before v2.40.0 carries a name-form <UserId>, and src/lib/windows-secret-acl.ts:565,583 compares identity.name for its ACL check.

decodeWindowsTextBytes (src/lib/windows-text.ts) exists for exactly this class of bug and was never called here. It tries UTF-16 with and without a BOM, then strict UTF-8, then the locale's legacy code page, so a genuinely UTF-8 host is unaffected.

The runner seam had to widen to carry bytes. WindowsPrincipalLookupResult.stdout was a string, so every injected test runner handed over an already-decoded value and the Buffer.toString() boundary was structurally untestable through the seam. A fix without this change ships unverified. Widening to string | Uint8Array rather than replacing keeps every existing injected runner compiling.

A locale test seam is included because decodeWindowsTextBytes selects one legacy encoding from the ambient locale: CP949, CP932 and CP936 fixtures are mutually exclusive in a single process unless each case pins its own. It clears the identity cache and refuses mid-flight, matching the existing runner setters.

On #3320

This is a candidate cause, not a proven one. The reporter's evidence was collected after a local repair, so the original registration shape was never observed. The defect in the tree is real and verified independently; the causal link to that report is not, so this PR does not say Closes.

The legacy name-form task migration is deliberately not here. It needs authoritative name-to-SID resolution requiring equality with the current user's SID, and an earlier draft of it would have re-registered a different user's task to the current user. It is recorded in devlog/_plan/260904_cross_platform_parity/050_followups.md with the trusted-channel design it requires.

Stacked on #3437. Retarget to dev once the parents land.

Verification

  • bun test tests/windows-user-principal-nonascii.test.ts tests/windows-user-principal.test.ts - 25 pass, 0 fail, 61 assertions.
  • Guards driven red first. Reverting the decode to the old UTF-8 path fails 5 of the 9 new cases, reporting MACHINE\<mojibake> instead of the account name.
  • bun x tsc --noEmit - clean.
  • Covered: CP949/CP932/CP936 account names each under a pinned locale; a UTF-8 host unaffected under every locale; an ASCII name byte-identical; a string-returning legacy runner still working; the async path; a failed lookup still throwing EACLIDENTITY; and the locale setter invalidating the cache.
  • Full suite not run locally by request; CI is the authority.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Security note: this fixes an identity-resolution defect, and identity.name feeds an ACL comparison. The change makes that comparison see the real account name instead of mojibake; it does not widen what is accepted. SID handling and SID_PATTERN are untouched.


CI status (updated after rebase). The stack was rebased onto current dev: it branched when dev was at 2.42.0, that version then shipped, and release version line correctly refused a tree claiming an already-published version. That failure was ours and is fixed.

Two failures remain and are inherited, not introduced. Both were reproduced on clean origin/dev in a scratch worktree rather than assumed:

Neither is in this stack's blast radius. Full triage: devlog/_plan/260904_cross_platform_parity/041_ci_triage.md. This means the honest claim is no new failures, not "all checks pass" - the stack cannot go fully green until dev does.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a355d

Windows principal decoding now preserves non-ASCII account names, but the accompanying parity records still contain four consistency and lint concerns that can misstate stack topology and completion criteria. These are bounded documentation risks and do not indicate a runtime blocker.

리뷰 · 우선순위 64 / 80

이 PR은 Windows에서 지금 로그인한 사용자 이름(principal)을 읽을 때 생기는 글자 깨짐을 고칩니다. 지금 dev(HEAD 20011a1c4)의 src/lib/windows-user-principal.ts는 PowerShell이 내보낸 stdout을 Buffer.toString() / Response.text()로 바로 문자열로 만듭니다. 그 경로는 UTF-8로 읽습니다. 그런데 Windows PowerShell 5.1은 UTF-8이 아니라 콘솔 출력 코드 페이지(한국어면 CP949, 일본어면 CP932, 중국어면 CP936)로 바이트를 씁니다. 그래서 계정 이름에 한글·가나·한자가 있으면 디코드 결과가 U+FFFD(대체 문자)로 깨지고, 그 깨진 이름이 프로세스 안의 identity 캐시에 그대로 남습니다.

왜 지금까지 잘 안 보였냐면, 첫 줄 SID는 ASCII라서 어떤 디코드로 읽어도 살아남습니다. 문제가 드러나는 곳은 이름입니다. 스케줄러 작업이 v2.40.0 이전에 name-form <UserId>로 등록돼 있거나, src/lib/windows-secret-acl.ts 565·583줄처럼 identity.name으로 ACL이 맞는지 비교할 때입니다. 이미 저장소에 src/lib/windows-text.tsdecodeWindowsTextBytes가 있습니다. UTF-16(BOM 있/없), 그다음 엄격 UTF-8, 그다음 로케일 레거시 코드 페이지 순으로 읽어서, 진짜 UTF-8 호스트는 그대로 둡니다. 이 PR은 그 헬퍼를 principal 조회에 연결합니다.

테스트하려면 runner seam이 바이트를 넘겨줘야 합니다. 예전 WindowsPrincipalLookupResult.stdoutstring만이라, 주입 테스트가 이미 디코드된 문자열만 줄 수 있었고 Buffer.toString() 경계를 검증할 수 없었습니다. 그래서 string | Uint8Array로 넓히고(기존 string runner는 그대로 컴파일), setWindowsPrincipalLocaleForTests로 CP949/CP932/CP936을 케이스마다 고정합니다. 한 프로세스에서 로케일 코드 페이지는 하나뿐이라 이 seam이 없으면 세 로케일 fixture를 동시에 검증할 수 없습니다. 새 테스트 tests/windows-user-principal-nonascii.test.ts는 옛 UTF-8 경로로 되돌리면 9개 중 5개가 깨진다고 적혀 있고, 그 설계는 지금 dev의 버그 모습과도 맞습니다.

이 PR은 dev에 바로 쌓인 게 아닙니다. 베이스는 codex/260904-muse-platform-refusals(#3437)이고, 그 아래는 로드맵 문서 PR #3436(dev 베이스)입니다. 본문도 부모들이 들어간 뒤 dev로 리타깃하라고 합니다. #3320(비ASCII 계정에서 스케줄러 작업을 잘못 판정)의 후보 원인으로만 적었고 Closes는 걸지 않았습니다. 레거시 name-form 작업 마이그레이션은 의도적으로 빼 두었고, 다른 사용자 작업에 재등록될 위험이 있어서 devlog/_plan/260904_cross_platform_parity/050_followups.md로 미룬다고 합니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할과는 무관한 Windows 신원·ACL 쪽 수정입니다.

라인 141 (현재 dev windows-user-principal.ts) - 기본 sync runner가 아직도 result.stdout.toString()(UTF-8)입니다. 이 PR이 고치는 바로 그 줄이고, 비ASCII 계정 이름이 여기서 깨집니다.

라인 155-156 (현재 dev 같은 파일 async runner) - Response(...).text()도 UTF-8 경로라 sync와 같은 깨짐이 비동기 조회에도 그대로입니다. 이 PR은 .bytes() + 공통 decode로 맞춥니다.

경로 src/lib/windows-secret-acl.ts 565·583 - ACL 적합 여부가 identity.name 문자열 비교에 의존합니다. principal 디코드가 깨지면 SID는 맞아도 이름 비교가 실패할 수 있습니다. 이 PR은 그 입력 쪽을 고칩니다.

경로 tests/windows-user-principal-nonascii.test.ts legacyBytes - 쓰이지 않는 placeholder(항상 throw) + void legacyBytes만 있습니다. 동작에는 영향 없지만 리뷰/유지보수 때 헷갈릴 수 있어서 지우거나 짧은 주석만 남기는 편이 낫습니다.

경로 PR 베이스 / CI - 베이스가 dev가 아니라서 enforce-target이 CANCELLED로 보입니다. 스택(#3436#3437#3438)이 의도라면 정상이고, 단독으로 dev에 머지하려는 모양이 아닙니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • docs(devlog): plan cross-platform parity and the Windows identity decode fix #3436·#3437을 먼저 머지한 뒤 이 PR을 dev로 리타깃할지, 아니면 신원 디코드만 dev에 재베이스해서 먼저 넣을지
  • #3320에 대해 이 PR만으로 후보 수정으로 둘지, 레거시 name-form 마이그레이션(followups)까지 묶은 뒤에야 close 후보로 볼지
  • 비ASCII Windows 사용자에게 2.43 라인에서 스케줄러/ACL false negative가 실제로 보이는지(재현 우선순위)

너의 추천
부모 스택(#3436, #3437) 머지 후 이 브랜치를 dev로 리타깃하고, CI(특히 Windows shard) 초록 확인 뒤 머지하세요. #3320은 아직 Closes 걸지 말고 열어 두되, 이 PR이 dev에 들어간 뒤 같은 증상 재현 여부를 보고자에게 한 번 확인하세요. legacyBytes placeholder는 머지 전 삭제해도 됩니다. types/config 분할과 무관하니 close-dont-rebase 대상이 아닙니다.

P2 Badge Make the principal output encoding deterministic

decodeWindowsTextBytes tries strict UTF-8 before the locale code page, so legacy output that also happens to be valid UTF-8 is silently decoded to the wrong account name. For example, the valid Korean username is C3 A9 in CP949, which this path decodes as é and then stores in cachedIdentity; the exact account checks in windows-secret-acl.ts and service.ts consequently still fail for such users. Emit a deterministic ASCII/base64 or explicitly encoded payload from PowerShell, as src/codex/user-identity.ts already does, rather than attempting to infer the encoding from the bytes.

The identity lookup shells out to powershell.exe and read its stdout with a
bare Buffer.toString(), which is UTF-8. Windows PowerShell 5.1 writes the
console OUTPUT code page instead, so on a ko-KR, ja-JP or zh-CN host any
non-ASCII account name decoded to U+FFFD and the corruption was then frozen
into the process identity cache.

The SID on the first line is ASCII by construction and survives either way,
which is why this stayed invisible: nothing breaks until something compares
the NAME. A scheduler task registered before v2.40.0 carries a name-form
<UserId>, and windows-secret-acl.ts compares identity.name for its ACL
check. Candidate cause of #3320, though the reporter's original task shape
was never observed so that link is not proven.

decodeWindowsTextBytes already exists for exactly this and was never called
here. It tries UTF-16, then STRICT UTF-8, then the locale code page, so a
genuinely UTF-8 host is unaffected.

The runner seam had to widen to carry bytes. It handed over an already
decoded string, so the Buffer.toString() boundary was structurally
untestable through it and a fix without this change would ship unverified.
Widening rather than replacing keeps every existing injected runner
compiling.

Guards driven red first: with the old decode 5 of 9 fail, reporting
MACHINE\<mojibake> instead of the account name.
legacyBytes threw on call and was immediately voided to silence the unused
warning. It was scaffolding from an approach I abandoned once it was clear
TextEncoder only emits UTF-8 and the fixtures had to be literal bytes.
Leaving it in invites the next reader to wonder what it was for.
Six audit rounds cut the plan from five phases to three, and two of the
removals were defects in my own design rather than scope trimming: a
scheduler migration that would have re-registered another user's task to
the current account, and a Linux env-file port that would have written a
token-bearing file with no cleanup path off macOS.

Also records the correction that mattered most. wp1 shipped refusals in
both drafts on the reasoning that we cannot read the credential store off
macOS. True, and beside the point: the key is visible in Meta's console,
so refusing the platform reported a limitation of our importer as a
limitation of the platform.

And the process note. The subagent review lane returned a provider 401 for
the last three phases, so wp2 and wp3 were audited first-hand and their
attests say near-pass with the residual recorded. An audit nobody
independent performed should not be written up as though someone did.
One failure was ours: the chain branched at 2.42.0, that version then
shipped, and the release-version guard correctly refused a tree claiming an
already-published version. Fixed by rebasing the whole stack onto current
dev.

Two others are inherited, and I reproduced both on clean origin/dev in a
scratch worktree rather than asserting they were unrelated. The loopback
image-route test came in with #3430 and the star-deferral test fails the
same way with none of our changes applied.

Which means this stack cannot show an all-green run until dev is green.
The honest claim is no new failures.
040 described a linear three-PR chain. What shipped is four PRs and the
chain forks: the docs page and the decode fix are siblings on the Muse
branch, because they share no files and chaining them would have made one
wait on the other for nothing.

Also states the standard the triage actually held itself to: a failure is
only inherited once it has been reproduced on clean dev. Unrelated is a
claim that needs evidence.
