fix(tools): make apply_patch tolerant and re-expose edit_file - #956
Conversation
Head-to-head benchmarking against Grok Build on grok-4.6 (3 tasks × 3 runs)
showed Zero solving every task but spending 2.7× the tokens and 2.3× the
time on the multi-file feature task. Every one of the 20 apply_patch calls
in those runs failed, after which the model degraded to whole-file
write_file rewrites and read→write verification loops.
Root causes and fixes:
- The sandbox and the tool both rejected an absolute path that lies inside
the workspace ("must stay inside the workspace"). Models routinely echo
the absolute path read_file showed them. Absolute paths now flow through
the normal workspace-scope validation (inside → allowed, outside → still
denied); unified-diff headers are rewritten to a/ b/ relative form before
git apply, and platform symlink prefixes (/var → /private/var) are
normalised the same way the other file tools do.
- The structured parser demanded a byte-exact "*** Begin Patch" /
"*** End Patch"; grok-4.6 writes "*** Begin Patch ***". Decorated marker
spellings are accepted, and a unified range after "@@" ("-12,4 +12,6",
optionally with a heading) no longer becomes a literal context search.
- Parse errors now carry a one-line format reminder so a failed call is
recoverable in one retry instead of a format-guessing loop.
- edit_file (exact search/replace with uniqueness guard, CRLF and fuzzy
fallbacks) is advertised to the model again alongside apply_patch, and
the apply_patch description shows the structured format.
- Writers (edit_file, write_file, apply_patch) recorded a file's line total
with lineCount, which is one higher than read_file's count for a file
ending in a newline. RecordSeenRange resets every observation when the
total changes, so a partial read_file after a successful edit silently
discarded whole-file knowledge and the next edit was refused with
"content that has not been read exactly in this session". All writers
now record the same total read_file reports (trackedLineTotal).
- read_file's padded " N | " line prefix was ~19% of every read (about
1.5k tokens per 800-line file) and was re-sent on every later call. It is
now the compact "N→" prefix models already know; nothing parsed the old
form.
- The editing-discipline prompt steers: edit_file for a targeted change,
apply_patch for multi-hunk/multi-file changes, write_file only for new
files or full rewrites; a successful edit result is confirmation, so the
file is not re-read to verify it.
Tests: regression tests for decorated markers, writer/reader line-total
agreement (edit → partial read → edit far away still succeeds), range hunk headers,
absolute in-workspace paths (structured + unified), outside-workspace
rejection, header-line-only relativisation, and tool visibility; the
prompt and tool-budget tests updated to the new contract.
Benchmark (grok-4.6, 3 tasks x 3 runs, harness in demo/bench-zero-vs-grok):
Zero 0.8.0 617 s / 1,527k tokens -> with this change 346 s / 493k tokens;
Grok Build 407 s / 713k. Every run of every configuration solved its task.

Review follow-ups for #956: - The tool accepted decorated structured markers ("***Begin Patch") that the sandbox's applyPatchPaths did not recognise, so for that spelling the boundary scanned the patch as a unified diff, extracted no targets and validated nothing. The marker classifier now lives in the sandbox package (StructuredPatchMarker / IsStructuredPatch) and the tool delegates to it, so both sides accept exactly the same set; tests cover inside, traversal and outside targets for the no-space spelling at the boundary. - Document the containment model at the apply site: structured patches are applied through an opened os.Root (descriptor-relative, no-follow); unified diffs keep the pre-existing git-apply pathname flow, which the absolute-path rewrite does not widen (they become the same root-relative form relative paths always used). - OpenAI addendum: the one-file-per-call rule names read_file, edit_file and write_file explicitly and allows a single multi-file apply_patch.

Review follow-up for #956. Unified diffs were validated by pathname and then handed to git apply, which reopened the targets by name — a check-to-use window a symlink swap could exploit — and the absolute-path rewrite added in this PR normalised `diff --git` headers with strings.Fields, which splits a git C-quoted path containing whitespace. Both go away by not shelling out at all: parseUnifiedPatch translates a unified diff into the same operations a structured patch produces, and both formats are applied by applyPatchOperations through os.OpenRoot — every stat, read, create and write is descriptor-relative and refuses to follow a link out of the root. git is no longer required by apply_patch. Unified-diff support: modifications, creations (--- /dev/null), deletions (+++ /dev/null), multiple hunks per file, git "rename from/to" (a move, hunks optional) and "copy from/to" (a new copy operation whose destination inherits only the tracker credit the source had), "\ No newline at end of file" on either side, a/ b/ prefixes, C-quoted paths, CRLF patches, and git's diff/index/mode lines. Hunks are placed at their "@@ -a,b" range when the expected lines match there and located by context otherwise (so a stale range still applies and duplicate blocks are disambiguated by the range). Binary patches are rejected. Removed: the git apply flow, relativizeUnifiedPatchPaths, recheckPatchWriteTargets, missingPatchTargets, completeCreatedPatchTargets and recordCreatedPatchTargets. validatePatchPaths/changedFilesFromPatch stay for mutation-target listing. Tests: the existing unified-diff suite now runs through the in-process applier unchanged; new coverage for quoted whitespace paths (inside applies, outside is refused untouched), a workspace path swapped for a symlink that escapes the root (both formats refused, outside file unmodified), create + delete + no-newline markers, range hint vs context fallback, rename with a hunk, and binary/empty rejection.

If the file changed above the hunk, the lines land at the wrong offset and the tool still reports success.The replacement path (Line 486) is safe because it re-verifies content at the hint. Consider recording the hunk's expected surrounding line count, or documenting that zero-context unified diffs are position-trusting. This is acceptable behavior if it is intentional; git behaves the same way when it applies without fuzz.

Review follow-ups for #956 (in-process unified applier): - A hunk that ends before its declared line counts is reported as malformed instead of silently absorbing the next file's ---/+++ header pair (which then failed later against the wrong file). Both shapes are caught: leftover counts at a header or at end of input, and a --- line directly followed by +++ inside a hunk. The element after a patch's final newline is no longer counted as an empty context line, so a truncated hunk cannot look complete. - "\ No newline at end of file" may only follow a file's final hunk; a marker before another hunk is rejected rather than leaking into that hunk's result. - Zero-context insertions (git diff -U0) are documented as position-trusting by design, matching git apply without fuzz; hunks with context are verified at the range before it is used. Tests: copy from/to (source kept, destination created with the hunk applied and tracked with the source's whole-file state; existing destination refused untouched; copy onto itself refused), over-declared and truncated hunk counts, and the no-newline marker before vs after the final hunk.

239-241: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider tolerating an over-declared count at end of input.
The PR goal is tolerance, and hunk ranges are already hints because application falls back to context matching. At end of input there is no following file whose headers could be swallowed, so the only outcome of this check is that a patch with complete content and a miscounted
@@range is refused. Model-authored diffs miscount ranges often.If you want to keep the strict signal, restrict the error to the case where content is missing rather than merely over-declared, for example by failing only when the last hunk collected no lines for a side that still declares lines and no context fallback is possible. If the strict behavior is deliberate for all end-of-input cases, keep it and no change is needed.

Requesting changes for one reproducible data-integrity issue.
Blocking: unified deletion ignores the expected old content
I reproduced this on the latest head, 3f65447:
- Create
gone.txtcontainingcurrent\n. - Apply a unified deletion patch whose hunk expects
stale\n:
diff --git a/gone.txt b/gone.txt
deleted file mode 100644
--- a/gone.txt
+++ /dev/null
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-staleapply_patch returns Patch applied successfully. and deletes gone.txt. It should reject the stale hunk and leave the file untouched, as git apply would.
The parser creates a delete operation when the new path is /dev/null, but hunk chunks are retained only for update/copy operations. The planner reads the existing file but applies and validates chunks only for update/copy, after which the delete path removes the file unconditionally. A header-only unified deletion is accepted for the same reason.
Required change
- Retain parsed hunks for unified deletion operations.
- Require at least one hunk for a unified deletion.
- Verify the hunk's expected old content against the current file before removing it. The verified result should be empty before deletion proceeds.
- Keep the existing structured
*** Delete Filebehavior unchanged; this requirement is specifically for unified diffs that carry expected old content. - Add regression coverage for:
- a matching deletion succeeds;
- a stale deletion is rejected and leaves the file byte-for-byte unchanged;
- a header-only unified deletion is rejected;
- a multi-hunk deletion verifies all old content before removing anything.
Architecture assessment
The overall direction is sound and does not need a rewrite. Keeping the structured and unified parsers separate, normalizing both into one planned operation model, preflighting all targets before mutation, and applying through an opened os.Root is a good design. Create-only writes and refusing an existing move/copy destination are also appropriately conservative.
The deletion bug is at the normalization boundary: a structured delete means “delete this path,” while a unified delete means “delete this path only if the expected old content matches.” The normalized operation needs to preserve that distinction. A clean fix would either carry verified delete chunks/expected content on the delete operation, or derive an empty post-image through the normal update verifier before allowing removal. Avoid special-casing the final Remove call without preserving the expected-content contract in the planned change.
Two worthwhile hardening follow-ups, not blockers for this review:
- Recheck an update/delete source against its planned
beforebytes immediately before commit. The current preflight catches stale content before planning, but another process can change the file between planning and replacement/removal. - Return the exact committed prefix when a later filesystem operation fails. The current error warns that the patch was partially applied and clears tracker knowledge, but reporting the files already changed would make recovery precise instead of requiring every target to be rediscovered.
Before/after coding run
I ran current main and this implementation through the same clean inventory fixture with the same ChatGPT/GPT-5.6 Sol configuration and prompt. Both outputs passed the visible CLI checks and an independent hidden search-contract test.
| Metric | Current main | PR #956 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Correctness | Passed | Passed | Same |
| Completion | 4m10.1s | 3m31.4s | 15.4% faster |
| Model requests | 25 | 21 | 16% fewer |
| Tool calls | 33 | 25 | 24.2% fewer |
| Input tokens | 450.6K | 319.3K | 29.1% fewer |
| Output tokens | 7.27K | 6.14K | 15.6% fewer |
| Local CPU | 4.29s | 3.37s | 21.4% lower |
| Peak RSS | 156.3 MiB | 176.6 MiB | 13% higher |
Completion time has normal model variance—another valid main run finished in 2m22.6s—so the strongest evidence here is the reduction in model requests, tool calls, and total input tokens rather than one wall-clock sample.
The benchmark used 08100a3; the current 3f65447 commit only delegates the duplicate reader line-count function to the same shared implementation. I validated the latest head separately with formatting, vet, diff hygiene, and focused race tests for agent, sandbox, and tools.
Relationship to #932
This is not redundant with our runtime-performance PR #932. PR #956 supplies the rooted unified-patch implementation, edit-tool visibility, read-prefix change, and editing guidance; #932 focuses on startup and turn overhead. They overlap in several prompt/tool files, so whichever lands second should rebase carefully and preserve both sets of intentional behavior rather than resolving those files wholesale.
The current Windows smoke failure is in the existing format-on-write timeout test; the previous 08100a3 head passed Windows and the latest commit does not touch that path. It should still be rerun after the deletion fix so the final head is fully green.
…ing the file A unified diff's "+++ /dev/null" hunks state the content being removed, but the in-process applier dropped them and deleted unconditionally, so a stale deletion removed a file whose current content the patch never described. Unified deletions now keep their hunks, require at least one, and run them through the same verifier as updates: the hunks must match the current file and leave nothing behind, otherwise the deletion is refused and the file is untouched. A structured "*** Delete File" keeps its unconditional meaning. Hardening from the same review: every non-create change re-reads its source through the opened root immediately before commit and refuses to proceed if the bytes differ from what was planned. Tests: matching deletion, stale deletion (file byte-for-byte unchanged), partial deletion, header-only deletion, multi-hunk deletion with one stale hunk (nothing removed) and all-good hunks, structured delete unchanged, and a source changed between planning and commit for update and delete.

…file forms Review follow-ups for #956: - A unified deletion is verified byte for byte: the removed lines (with the removed side's "\ No newline at end of file" honoured) must equal the current file exactly, with only the file's own line-ending style normalised. None of the whitespace tolerance used to locate update hunks applies, and a whitespace-only remainder no longer passes; a deletion is not recoverable, so it fails closed. - git describes an empty file's deletion or creation with header lines only ("diff --git", "deleted file mode"/"new file mode", "index") and no hunks. Both forms are recognised: the deletion is applied only when the current file is empty, the creation writes an empty file, and they compose with hunk-carrying files in the same patch. - The pre-commit recheck test also covers the copy operation and asserts no destination is created on refusal. Tests: whitespace/indentation/blank-line/space-only/missing-newline mismatches all refused with the file unchanged, matching no-newline marker and CRLF file accepted, header-only deletion of a non-empty file refused, multi-file patch with header-only delete + create + a normal hunk.

Review follow-up for #956. When a later change in a multi-file patch fails (for example the pre-commit recheck refuses a file that changed after planning), the error now lists exactly which files were already committed and states that the rest are unchanged, instead of a generic "partially applied" warning. The model can then re-read only what actually changed. Test: a three-file structured patch whose second file is altered after planning fails with "already committed: first.txt", first.txt holds the patched content, and the other two files are untouched.

Head-to-head benchmarking against Grok Build on grok-4.6 (3 tasks × 3 runs) showed Zero solving every task but spending 2.7× the tokens and 2.3× the time on the multi-file feature task. Every one of the 20 apply_patch calls in those runs failed, after which the model degraded to whole-file write_file rewrites and read→write verification loops.
Root causes and fixes:
Tests: regression tests for decorated markers, writer/reader line-total agreement (edit → partial read → edit far away still succeeds), range hunk headers, absolute in-workspace paths (structured + unified), outside-workspace rejection, header-line-only relativisation, and tool visibility; the prompt and tool-budget tests updated to the new contract.
Benchmark (grok-4.6, 3 tasks x 3 runs, harness in demo/bench-zero-vs-grok): Zero 0.8.0 617 s / 1,527k tokens -> with this change 346 s / 493k tokens; Grok Build 407 s / 713k. Every run of every configuration solved its task.
