creatixchu 5245182db2 fix(host): bound listDirectory levels at a configurable maxEntries
One list call now materializes at most maxEntries child 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 symlink
probing stops with the bound, and DirectoryListing carries a required
truncated flag on the seam and the wire so clients can state
incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries.

English | 中文

The in-app browsing backend of the directory-picker seam: BrowseDirectoryPicker registers ctx.directoryPicker with the browse capability — one-level directory listing and child-directory creation over Node's stdlib, which already carries the per-OS adaptation. Nothing renders on the host display, so this backend serves remote clients the native backend cannot.

Behavior facts: listings return directories only, name-sorted, with symlinks-to-directories followed (broken/cyclic links skipped — the probe stat failing means "not enterable") and a host-owned hidden flag (POSIX dot convention) left for the client to act on; crumbs is the root-to-target ancestor chain, the root crumb labeled by its full path (/, C:\); an absent list path means the host account's home directory. createDirectory is non-recursive (a missing parent is a real failure, not a level to invent) and validates the name as a single non-blank segment even when called directly, mirroring the wire schema's fence. Both primitives reject an explicit path that is not fully qualified — relative forms, and on Windows the rooted drive-less forms (\foo, /foo) and incomplete UNC prefixes (\\, \\server) that isAbsolute accepts — with directory-unreadable/directory-create-failed, instead of letting resolve rebase it under the host process cwd or current drive. One list call materializes at most maxEntries rows (config, default 1000 — the bound GitHub's web UI applies to directory listings): a cut level keeps the name-sorted head, counts hidden rows against the bound, stops probing once the bound is hit, and reports truncated: true so the client can say the level is incomplete. Failures throw the seam's typed DirectoryPickerError. Policy rationale: the directory-picker capability seam Agent Note.

Model Experience

None, as the backend serves the GUI host's directory selection; nothing here reaches a model request.

KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • No client half yet — the in-app browsing dialog that consumes these primitives lands in the next PR of this stack; until then a -browse composition hides the picking affordance entirely (ui-workspace's documented empty-hole default) and the listing/creation RPCs go unconsumed.
  • Windows hidden attribute is not read — Node dirents do not expose FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN, so hidden means dot-prefixed on every platform until a native probe is worth its cost.
  • No drive-root enumeration — on Windows the ancestry stops at the drive root; crossing drives waits for the browser UI's path-entry affordance rather than an enumeration primitive here.
  • Whole-filesystem scope — no per-deployment browse-root restriction; workspace.create accepts arbitrary paths today, so a root here would be UX scoping, not a boundary — deferred until a deployment needs it.
