Images were persisted only to the DSH attachment store, so generated files were never visible in the user's workspace. Write each generated image as a file under the calling session's workspace and return the absolute path in the tool result and on the chat card.

  • new settings: saveToWorkspace (default true) and workspaceFolder (empty = workspace root); the folder is validated to stay inside the workspace
  • atomic write via staging file + rename; a workspace-write failure never discards the attached image (reported as saveError, logged)
  • settings card gains the toggle and folder input; the result card shows the saved path
  • 8 new unit tests; typecheck, test, build and pack:check all green

Bumps version to 0.2.0.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable workspace output for generated images. It uses deterministic filenames, validates workspace containment, handles cancellation cleanup, reports save status, displays saved paths in the client, and documents the feature.

Changes

Workspace image saving

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace configuration and client controls
src/config.ts, src/client/index.tsx
Configuration defaults enable workspace saving and set dsh-image-gen. The client persists the settings and provides localized controls.
Workspace path and image persistence
src/workspace-save.ts, tests/workspace-save.spec.ts
Image names use attachment digest prefixes. Path checks reject escaping folders and symlinks. Cancellation tests verify rejection and cleanup.
Generation result integration and release documentation
src/index.ts, src/client/index.tsx, README*.md
Generation results include saved paths or errors. The client displays saved paths. README files document workspace output and configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 13677

Generated images may be written outside the session workspace or overwritten or deleted during retries and concurrent saves, so this change is not safe to merge until the path-safety and save-ownership issues are fixed.

In `@src/index.ts`:
- Around line 126-129: Update the catch block in saveImageToWorkspace to rethrow
the error when exec.signal.aborted, preserving cancellation propagation instead
of setting saveError; retain the existing nonfatal saveError behavior for
ordinary workspace write failures. Add an integration test covering cancellation
after attachment persistence and before the workspace rename.
- Around line 118-125: Update the saveImageToWorkspace call to use
config.workspaceFolder ?? DEFAULT_WORKSPACE_FOLDER for its folder value,
ensuring the initial and fallback current() configuration applies the default
workspace folder when config.workspaceFolder is omitted.

In `@src/workspace-save.ts`:
- Around line 25-35: The workspaceImageName function must produce a
deterministic name for idempotent retries. Remove the now-based timestamp and
derive the filename from the full normalized attachment digest and media type,
preserving the existing extension mapping; add a regression test that saves the
same attachment at two different timestamps and verifies the target name is
identical.
- Around line 47-55: Update workspaceImageDir to resolve the real workspace and
target directories after creation, rejecting any symlinked path component whose
real path escapes the workspace; preserve the existing lexical containment check
for non-existent paths. Use the workspace-scoped filesystem capability to
prevent TOCTOU symlink replacement during later writes, and add a test covering
an image directory symlink to an external location.

Thanks for the contribution — this is a useful feature and I’d like to merge it after a few fixes.

The PR adds workspace file output for generated images, which is valuable because it lets users and agents access the generated image as a real file in the current session workspace, in addition to the existing DSH attachment storage.

Before merging, could you please address these points:

  1. Workspace symlink escape: the current containment check is lexical only. If the configured folder inside the workspace is a symlink to a directory outside the workspace, the image can still be written outside the session workspace. Please add real-path/symlink validation and a regression test.
  2. Filename idempotency: workspaceImageName() includes a timestamp, so the same attachment saved at different times gets different filenames even though the comment says identical content should map to the same file. Please make the filename deterministic for the same attachment, or update the intended behavior/tests consistently.
  3. Abort handling: please make sure a cancellation cannot be reported as a successful workspace save after the final rename/write step.
  4. Version bump: please leave the package version unchanged in this PR. I’ll handle the release/version bump separately when merging/releasing.

Once these are fixed, I’m happy to review again. Thanks!

- validate image folder real paths against the workspace so a symlink (or junction) that resolves outside the session workspace is rejected before and after directory creation; add regression tests for escaping folder/segment symlinks and the legitimate in-workspace symlink case

- derive the workspace image file name from the attachment id alone (image-<digest8>.<ext>) so identical content always maps to the same file, as the idempotent re-save behavior intends

- honour cancellation up to and including the final rename: the signal is passed to the staged write and a post-rename check removes the renamed file and rethrows, so a cancelled call is never reported as a successful workspace save

- restore package version to 0.1.4; the release bump is handled separately at merge time

Use the full attachment digest in the filename.

Line 30 truncates every attachment ID to eight characters. Two images with the same prefix and media type use the same target path. The later rename replaces the earlier image.

Use the full validated digest, or another collision-resistant identifier. Add a regression test with two IDs that share their first eight characters.

Prevent an aborted save from deleting a concurrent successful save.

Two calls for the same attachment use the same target. If the first call aborts after its rename and the second call renames successfully, Line 140 deletes the second call’s image after it has returned success.

Serialize rename and cancellation cleanup per target. Do not unlink a target that a later save owns.
