chore: rolling promotion dev -> main - #2874
Conversation
…ts (#2873) Fresh installs on Debian/Ubuntu boxes with user-private groups (umask 002) failed at the promote preflight: ~/.local/bin is created 0775 <user>:<user> there, and assertSafeOwnedDirectoryStat rejected any group-write bit. New classifyOwnedDirectorySafety allows group-write only when the directory's gid equals the process's effective gid — as private as 0755 — while world-write, foreign-group write, and foreign ownership stay rejected, each with an actionable message (chmod/chown remedy) instead of the generic "safe permissions". The install-promote command now prints those preflight errors cleanly and exits 1 instead of escaping as a raw Bun stack trace. Reported from a fresh linux box, 2026-08-31; reproduced with a 0775 fixture (mode & 0o022 = 16 despite uid and egid matching).

When the user's effective GID is shared (for example, macOS's common staff group or a Unix account whose primary group contains multiple users), this condition accepts a group-writable ~/.local/bin merely because its GID equals getegid(). That equality proves membership, not exclusivity: any other group member can rename or replace the genie entry in a non-sticky 0775 directory, causing arbitrary code to run as the victim the next time they invoke it. Keep rejecting group-writable ancestors unless the group is verified to be user-private.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not treat the effective group as a private group.
A shared effective group can own a user-owned 0775 directory. Another group member can replace the genie entry after installation. A later genie invocation can then execute an attacker-controlled target.
Reject group-writable directories unless a trusted platform-specific check proves the group is private. Alternatively, require sticky-directory semantics before allowing shared-group writes. Update the 0775 acceptance tests to cover the safe rule.
