|
||||
- **Dependency survey (hand-roll vs adopt).** Node's stdlib *is* the maintained cross-platform OS layer (`readdir(withFileTypes)`, `homedir`, path semantics); surveyed alternatives fail the dependency bar — file-manager packages (`node-file-manager`, `files-and-folders`, Syncfusion's provider) are whole HTTP apps (fit), drive-letter helpers (`drivelist` native addon, `windows-drive-letters` ~7y stale) fail health/proportionality. The browse backend is a thin adapter over stdlib.
|
||||
- **Hidden entries: return-and-flag.** The host stamps `hidden` (POSIX dot convention) and returns everything; the client filters. Display policy stays client-side, and the planned show-hidden toggle becomes a client-only change. Windows' `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN` is not exposed by dirents — documented limitation until a native probe pays for itself.
|
||||
- **Symlinks: follow for enterability.** `stat` probes symlinks (broken/cyclic → skipped); crumbs keep the logical path the operator navigated, and `workspace.create` already canonicalizes via realpath at adoption.
|
||||
- **Listing levels are bounded.** One `list` call materializes at most `maxEntries` rows (config, default 1000 — GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound): candidates sort before probing so a cut level keeps the name-sorted head and probing stops with the bound, and the wire `DirectoryListing` carries a required `truncated` flag so the client states incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries. An unbounded level is a memory/responsiveness hole for large or adversarial directories.
|
||||
- **Listing levels are bounded, and streamed.** One `list` call returns at most `maxEntries` rows (config, default 1000 — GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). The level streams via `opendir` into a name-sorted window of `maxEntries + 1` candidates, so memory stays O(maxEntries) and enterability probing touches only windowed candidates; the wire `DirectoryListing` carries a required `truncated` flag so the client states incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries. A windowed broken symlink is not backfilled from beyond the window — the eviction already marks the level truncated. An unbounded level is a memory/responsiveness hole for large or adversarial directories.
|
||||
- **Whole-filesystem scope, no roots config.** `workspace.create` accepts arbitrary paths and the API serves bash-driving methods, so a browse root would be UX scoping, not a boundary; configurability without a consumer fails the evidence bar. Deferred until a deployment needs it.
|
||||
- **The native backend stays.** Plugin-form was the point: multiple providers can serve the seam (an Electron shell would provide the `native` interaction through its own dialog API). Kind naming: `dialog` was the first pick and was dropped — the browse interaction also presents a dialog (the in-app modal), so the word failed to discriminate; `native` names where the chooser runs.
