130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149

157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,

11
+ # Filesystem primitives
12
+
13
+ Independently installable Python 3.11+ library: `aixand-lib-filesystem`, import
14
+ `aixand_filesystem`. No runtime dependencies, services, network,
15
+ process management, or repository-layout assumptions.
16
+
17
+ It owns shared file locks, private file/directory permissions, and Windows pinned
18
+ paths. Applications and other libraries can import its public API directly.
19
+
20
+ ## File locks
21
+
22
+ ```python
23
+ from aixand_filesystem import file_lock, lock_file, unlock_file
24
+
25
+ with open("state.lock", "a+b") as stream:
26
+ with file_lock(stream): # blocking=True by default
27
+ # Read, compare the observed revision, and publish a guarded update here.
28
+ pass
29
+
30
+ with open("state.lock", "a+b") as stream:
31
+ lock_file(stream, blocking=False) # Raises BlockingIOError on contention.
32
+ try:
33
+ pass
34
+ finally:
35
+ unlock_file(stream)
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ `lock_file(stream, blocking=False, shared=False)` acquires an exclusive lock.
39
+ `shared=True` uses a shared POSIX lock; Windows retains the exclusive byte-zero
40
+ protocol for both modes. Closing the stream
41
+ or calling `unlock_file(stream)` releases it. `file_lock(stream, blocking=True)`
42
+ releases in `finally` but leaves the caller-owned stream open. Locks are not
43
+ reentrant and do not coordinate writes by processes ignoring the protocol.
44
+
45
+ POSIX uses `fcntl.flock`. Windows initializes an empty file once, seeks to byte
46
+ zero, and uses `msvcrt.LK_NBLCK` over one byte. Blocking acquisition retries
47
+ contention every 50 ms instead of relying on LK_LOCK's finite retry period.
48
+ Unexpected OS errors propagate; contention becomes `BlockingIOError`.
49
+
50
+ Callers own lock-file placement, safe path opening, stream lifetime, permissions,
51
+ store identifiers, and transaction boundaries. During adoption, retain existing
52
+ lock files and range conventions: changing the filename or replacing its inode
53
+ can allow old and new processes to write concurrently. Windows and POSIX use
54
+ different native protocols; this is not a distributed/network-filesystem lock.
55
+
56
+ ## Windows pinned paths
57
+
58
+ ```python
59
+ from aixand_filesystem import PinnedPath
60
+
61
+ with PinnedPath(root, ["references", "guide.md"]) as selected:
62
+ data = selected.file.read() # Original binary bytes.
63
+
64
+ with PinnedPath(root, directory=True) as selected:
65
+ directory = selected.path
66
+ # Keep the context open while using the protected directory.
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ `root` is an existing caller-selected path; `parts` contains single relative path
70
+ components. Every ancestor and the leaf are opened with OPEN_REPARSE_POINT,
71
+ checked for reparse points, and held without FILE_SHARE_DELETE. Linked/junction
72
+ paths are rejected and ancestors cannot be renamed/replaced while held. Directory
73
+ handles close in reverse order; file descriptors own transferred leaf handles.
74
+ Exceptions release retained handles. Drive, UNC, and long-path forms are supported;
75
+ device namespace traversal and escaping components are rejected.
76
+
77
+ This is a Windows read/traversal primitive, not a general secure-write API. It
78
+ does not freeze file bytes, enforce private ACLs, or prevent allowed concurrent
79
+ content writes. Callers still validate regular files, size limits, containment,
80
+ content stability, and publication. Constructing/importing the API is safe on POSIX, where
81
+ entering a pinned-path context raises `OSError(ENOTSUP)`.
82
+
83
+ ## Verification
84
+
85
+ ```sh
86
+ python -m pip install -e .
87
+ python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
88
+ python -m pip wheel --no-deps .
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ Tests cover real-process lock contention/release, process termination, exception
92
+ cleanup, Windows byte-zero/retry behavior using mocks, isolated import/use with
93
+ site packages disabled, and Windows kernel tests for pinning, junction rejection,
94
+ and handle cleanup. Real Windows tests are skipped outside Windows; Linux/mocked
95
+ checks do not establish full Windows runtime qualification.
96
+
97
+ ## Private files and directories
98
+
99
+ `private_directory(path)` creates/protects a directory and rejects a linked or
100
+ junction leaf. `private_path(path)` protects an existing application-owned file
101
+ or directory. POSIX uses modes 0600/0700; Windows uses a protected DACL granting
102
+ the current account full access (with inheritance for path-based protection).
103
+ `verify_private(path)` verifies private ownership/access, including Windows ACLs.
104
+ `is_private(stat_result)` is a POSIX metadata check; on Windows it cannot validate
105
+ ACLs and callers needing that guarantee must use `verify_private`.
106
+
107
+ `secure_file(stream)` protects an already-open file by handle, avoiding a path
108
+ reopen race if its parent is renamed. POSIX uses `fchmod(0600)`; Windows reopens
109
+ the original OS handle to apply the current-account owner and protected DACL.
110
+ These helpers do not provide a general safe path traversal or atomic write API;
111
+ callers retain responsibility for path selection and publication.
112
+
113
+ ## Local developer commands
114
+
115
+ Inside the aixand-libraries source checkout, run from this directory with
116
+ Python 3.11+ and uv:
117
+
118
+ ```sh
119
+ ./dev.sh develop --local
120
+ ./dev.sh check
121
+ ./dev.sh test
122
+ ./dev.sh build
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ Use `.\dev.ps1` on Windows. Each package owns its development environment and
126
+ helper. Commands run within this package. See the
127
+ [development guide](docs/development.md) for wheel-based setup without sibling
128
+ sources, lock updates, and build outputs.
129
+
130
+ ## Windows authentication storage
131
+
132
+ `current_user_sid()` returns the current Windows account SID. Other systems
133
+ raise `OSError(ENOTSUP)`. Import this function from `aixand_filesystem`.
134
+
135
+ The `aixand_filesystem.auth_directory` module provides `create(path)`,
136
+ `check(path)`, and `secure_file(path)` on Windows. Creation verifies existing
137
+ directories without changing their permissions. File protection requires a
138
+ regular file inside a verified private directory. Pinned paths reject links
139
+ and junctions. This module's path function differs from the package's
140
+ `secure_file(stream)` function, which protects an open file handle.
141
+
142
+ After installing the package, run these commands in PowerShell. Replace the
143
+ example path with your authentication directory:
144
+
145
+ ```powershell
146
+ python -m aixand_filesystem.auth_directory create C:\Users\you\private-auth
147
+ python -m aixand_filesystem.auth_directory check C:\Users\you\private-auth
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ `check` exits zero for a private directory. It reports an error for invalid
151
+ permissions or links. These commands require Windows. Linux checks do not
152
+ establish native Windows qualification.
153
+
154
+ ## Documentation and support
155
+
156
+ See the [documentation index](docs/README.md) for usage, API reference, and runnable
157
+ starter examples. Report ordinary problems through the integrating product's
158
+ support channel or issue tracker. External contributions are not currently
159
+ accepted due to limited maintainer capacity; see [reporting guidance](../docs/reporting.md).

+ from aixand_filesystem import file_lock, lock_file, unlock_file
14
+
15
+ with open("state.lock", "a+b") as stream:
16
+ with file_lock(stream): # blocking=True by default
17
+ # Read, compare the observed revision, and publish a guarded update here.
18
+ pass
19
+
20
+ with open("state.lock", "a+b") as stream:
21
+ lock_file(stream, blocking=False) # Raises BlockingIOError on contention.
22
+ try:
23
+ pass
24
+ finally:
25
+ unlock_file(stream)
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ `lock_file(stream, blocking=False, shared=False)` acquires an exclusive lock.
29
+ `shared=True` uses a shared POSIX lock; Windows retains the exclusive byte-zero
30
+ protocol for both modes. Closing the stream
31
+ or calling `unlock_file(stream)` releases it. `file_lock(stream, blocking=True)`
32
+ releases in `finally` but leaves the caller-owned stream open. Locks are not
33
+ reentrant and do not coordinate writes by processes ignoring the protocol.
34
+
35
+ POSIX uses `fcntl.flock`. Windows initializes an empty file once, seeks to byte
36
+ zero, and uses `msvcrt.LK_NBLCK` over one byte. Blocking acquisition retries
37
+ contention every 50 ms instead of relying on LK_LOCK's finite retry period.
38
+ Unexpected OS errors propagate; contention becomes `BlockingIOError`.
39
+
40
+ Callers own lock-file placement, safe path opening, stream lifetime, permissions,
41
+ store identifiers, and transaction boundaries. During adoption, retain existing
42
+ lock files and range conventions: changing the filename or replacing its inode
43
+ can allow old and new processes to write concurrently. Windows and POSIX use
44
+ different native protocols; this is not a distributed/network-filesystem lock.
45
+
46
+ ## Windows pinned paths
47
+
48
+ ```python
49
+ from aixand_filesystem import PinnedPath
50
+
51
+ with PinnedPath(root, ["references", "guide.md"]) as selected:
52
+ data = selected.file.read() # Original binary bytes.
53
+
54
+ with PinnedPath(root, directory=True) as selected:
55
+ directory = selected.path
56
+ # Keep the context open while using the protected directory.
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ `root` is an existing caller-selected path; `parts` contains single relative path
60
+ components. Every ancestor and the leaf are opened with OPEN_REPARSE_POINT,
61
+ checked for reparse points, and held without FILE_SHARE_DELETE. Linked/junction
62
+ paths are rejected and ancestors cannot be renamed/replaced while held. Directory
63
+ handles close in reverse order; file descriptors own transferred leaf handles.
64
+ Exceptions release retained handles. Drive, UNC, and long-path forms are supported;
65
+ device namespace traversal and escaping components are rejected.
66
+
67
+ This is a Windows read/traversal primitive, not a general secure-write API. It
68
+ does not freeze file bytes, enforce private ACLs, or prevent allowed concurrent
69
+ content writes. Callers still validate regular files, size limits, containment,
70
+ content stability, and publication. Constructing/importing the API is safe on POSIX, where
71
+ entering a pinned-path context raises `OSError(ENOTSUP)`.
72
+
73
+ ## Verification
74
+
75
+ ```sh
76
+ python -m pip install -e .
77
+ python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
78
+ python -m pip wheel --no-deps .
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Tests cover real-process lock contention/release, process termination, exception
82
+ cleanup, Windows byte-zero/retry behavior using mocks, isolated import/use with
83
+ site packages disabled, and Windows kernel tests for pinning, junction rejection,
84
+ and handle cleanup. Real Windows tests are skipped outside Windows; Linux/mocked
85
+ checks do not establish full Windows runtime qualification.
86
+
87
+ ## Private files and directories
88
+
89
+ `private_directory(path)` creates/protects a directory and rejects a linked or
90
+ junction leaf. `private_path(path)` protects an existing application-owned file
91
+ or directory. POSIX uses modes 0600/0700; Windows uses a protected DACL granting
92
+ the current account full access (with inheritance for path-based protection).
93
+ `verify_private(path)` verifies private ownership/access, including Windows ACLs.
94
+ `is_private(stat_result)` is a POSIX metadata check; on Windows it cannot validate
95
+ ACLs and callers needing that guarantee must use `verify_private`.
96
+
97
+ `secure_file(stream)` protects an already-open file by handle, avoiding a path
98
+ reopen race if its parent is renamed. POSIX uses `fchmod(0600)`; Windows reopens
99
+ the original OS handle to apply the current-account owner and protected DACL.
100
+ These helpers do not provide a general safe path traversal or atomic write API;
101
+ callers retain responsibility for path selection and publication.
102
+
103
+ ## Local developer commands
104
+
105
+ Inside the aixand-libraries source checkout, run from this directory with
106
+ Python 3.11+ and uv:
107
+
108
+ ```sh
109
+ ./dev.sh develop --local
110
+ ./dev.sh check
111
+ ./dev.sh test
112
+ ./dev.sh build
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ Use `.\dev.ps1` on Windows. Each package owns its development environment and
116
+ helper. Commands run within this package. See the
117
+ [development guide](docs/development.md) for wheel-based setup without sibling
118
+ sources, lock updates, and build outputs.
119
+
120
+ ## Windows authentication storage
121
+
122
+ `current_user_sid()` returns the current Windows account SID. Other systems
123
+ raise `OSError(ENOTSUP)`. Import this function from `aixand_filesystem`.
124
+
125
+ The `aixand_filesystem.auth_directory` module provides `create(path)`,
126
+ `check(path)`, and `secure_file(path)` on Windows. Creation verifies existing
127
+ directories without changing their permissions. File protection requires a
128
+ regular file inside a verified private directory. Pinned paths reject links
129
+ and junctions. This module's path function differs from the package's
130
+ `secure_file(stream)` function, which protects an open file handle.
131
+
132
+ After installing the package, run these commands in PowerShell. Replace the
133
+ example path with your authentication directory:
134
+
135
+ ```powershell
136
+ python -m aixand_filesystem.auth_directory create C:\Users\you\private-auth
137
+ python -m aixand_filesystem.auth_directory check C:\Users\you\private-auth
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ `check` exits zero for a private directory. It reports an error for invalid
141
+ permissions or links. These commands require Windows. Linux checks do not
142
+ establish native Windows qualification.
143
+
