Requesting changes on exact head bd8b2a178f5a7229a5a2f4fd55e445e89fdae188 for two P1 blockers. The ordinary exact-head targeted suite passes (29/29), but a reviewer-only deterministic reproducer confirmed that both a symlink swap and FIFO swap between the metadata check and authoritative open fall into the generic inspection path (2/2), which the host renders as a normal exit-0 status. The changed tests also inspect/rewrite generated source and therefore missed that boundary. All current GitHub gates, DCO, commit verification, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, and the nine Advisor jobs are green/completed; no local E2E was run. The nine-category security sweep found no secret, auth, dependency, crypto, configuration, or logging exposure beyond the fail-open race called out inline. I treated the Advisor recovery-path suggestion as adjacent scope rather than a blocker for issue #10754; a maintainer follow-up should decide the supported remediation path before one is documented.

- F003 — A path replacement after descriptor open is reported as ordinary status. See the inline finding.
The earlier pre-open path-replacement finding and generated-source test finding are resolved at this commit. Verification passed: npm run build:cli and 29 targeted Vitest tests. A deterministic reproducer at this commit still returned status 0 with normal JSON after post-open symlink, FIFO, and post-validation symlink replacements.
DCO is present. GitHub marks all five commits as Verified. No unresolved major or critical CodeRabbit finding remains. Approval is also blocked because the PR branch is behind main.

- Unsafe paths that appear after ENOENT still lose their type classification; see inline.
- Conclusive ELOOP evidence can still be downgraded by the follow-up nofollow stat race; see inline.
Validation: npm run build:cli passed. The focused tests passed locally (29/29), and an independent affected-suite run passed (60/60), but neither covers these two adversarial interleavings. Both deterministic reproducers still fail at this head. Requesting changes.

[P1] Preserve unsafe-path classification across the ENOENT race
If os.open() returns ENOENT and a symlink or FIFO appears before the missing-path stability check, this path raises the generic managed MCP projection appeared during mutation error. At this commit I reproduced the symlink case with status 2 and empty stdout while the hostile symlink remained. The host escalates only stderr beginning with DEEPAGENTS_UNSAFE_MCP_PROJECTION_PREFIX, so this generic diagnostic is converted into an ordinary unregistered status instead of making public mcp status --json exit 2. Please carry the unsafe prefix/type classification through this branch and add inner plus dispatch regressions proving exit 2, empty stdout, type-specific stderr, and unchanged hostile state.

Addressed on 5b04219. The failed-open path now classifies the same no-follow metadata snapshot used by the missing-path stability check, so a symlink or FIFO that appears after ENOENT retains the unsafe-path prefix. Runtime-boundary inner tests and the public mcp status dispatch regression require exit 2, empty stdout, a type-specific diagnostic, and unchanged hostile state. Please re-review.

Current-head update: exact head 0738f1fed retains the ENOENT type-preserving fix and the fixed-input dispatch precedence regression. The affected security cluster passes 45/45, and exact-commit validation is green. Please resolve after rereview.

[P1] Treat the original ELOOP as conclusive symlink evidence
An O_NOFOLLOW open returning ELOOP already proves that open observed a symbolic link. If the path is swapped to a regular file for this follow-up nofollow stat, managed_projection_path_kind returns no unsafe kind and the original ELOOP is rethrown generically; the symlink can then be restored. At this commit the deterministic repro returned generic [Errno 40] stderr while the final path was again a symlink and its target bytes were unchanged. Because the host prefix check does not recognize that error, public status is downgraded. Handle exc.errno == errno.ELOOP independently of the follow-up snapshot and add inner plus dispatch regression coverage for this replacement race.

Addressed on 5b04219. An ELOOP from the O_NOFOLLOW open is now conclusive symbolic-link evidence and no longer depends on a later stat snapshot. The runtime-boundary fixture masks the rejected link with a regular file, restores it, and verifies exit 2, empty stdout, the symbolic-link diagnostic, and unchanged target bytes through the public dispatch path. Please re-review.

Current-head update: exact head 0738f1fed retains conclusive ELOOP classification independent of the follow-up stat, with the runtime replacement regression and fixed-input dispatch precedence coverage still green. Please resolve after rereview.

Outcome
On a LangChain Deep Agents Code image with managed MCP capability v2,
mcp statusnow rejects a symbolic link, FIFO, or other non-regular object at the final managed projection path. It writes a type-specific diagnostic to standard error, writes no standard output, and exits with status2.Reason
The unsafe final-path cases in #10754 previously appeared as a generic adapter mismatch with exit status
0. That made a projection path replacement indistinguishable from an ordinary adapter or credential mismatch.Related issues

Trust requested descriptor-pinned validation of every parent directory component. That changes shared registration, rollback, teardown, publication, and mutation boundaries. It is explicitly excluded from issue [Ubuntu 26.04][Security] mcp status returns exit 0 for a managed MCP projection path replaced with a symlink or FIFO #10754's accepted final-entry-only scope and is not implemented here.
Operations requested a supported recovery route for unsafe projection entries, including lifecycle cleanup and new documentation. That is a separate product and security lifecycle decision explicitly excluded from this file-type status issue, so it is not implemented here.
The earlier human review findings are addressed: the unsafe post-open replacement,
ENOENTreplacement, and conclusiveELOOPcases retain type-specific evidence; the fixture reader uses one no-follow, nonblocking descriptor for classification and reads; and the macOS socket case passes outside the filesystem sandbox.The inherited npm-audit failures were fixed by merged fix(security): update vulnerable fast-uri graphs #10892 and are green on the refreshed branch.
The current exact head requires a fresh hosted Advisor and ordinary CI cycle before review is requested.
