Refuse a streamed file that commits more than it reserved
osFileStart sets an extent aside and osFileWrite refuses a block index outside it, so writing off the end was already barred. Committing a larger size was not, and reaches the same neighbour by simply claiming it: a directory entry is the only record of what a file owns, so an entry claiming a block it was never given owns it, and so does whatever owned it before. Both files then look perfectly well formed. The free count went backwards past zero on the same path. Found by ChatGPT's review of the streaming work, in NOTES.md. I had bounded the index because writing off the end was the obvious way to reach a neighbour, and had not noticed that the other end of the same reservation was open. THE SIZE IS COMPARED, NOT THE ROOM IT TAKES UP. One block and a tail occupies exactly what two whole blocks occupy, so bounding the blocks alone would let a file reserve the first, commit the second, claim no block it was not given, and still report two hundred and forty six bytes that were never written to it - whatever the disk had there before. Checked before anything is touched, which is why the temporary is found twice. The old file is deleted a few lines down and a refusal after that point would have destroyed the thing it was protecting. AND IT CAUGHT A REAL ONE IMMEDIATELY. The assembler reserves the file plus room for its vectors, and asked for four bytes per vector DECLARED - which looks like a safe bound and is not, because a device is declared during the SECOND pass, in the line that implements it. A program with a device installs a vector that was not counted when the room was measured. CosmOS reserved 14,163 bytes and committed 14,167, writing four bytes past what it had been given on every build since S2. It landed inside the last block it owned, and would not have if the boundary had fallen four bytes earlier. It reserves against the vector table's LIMIT now, which cannot go stale whenever things are counted. Claim.asm is the program that tries it: reserve one block and a tail of ten, write them, then tell osFileDone the file came to two whole blocks. The refusal and the honest commit that follows are both recorded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01E2JrLzFvuFX9fgi1LDRjrW
