The Memory tab could only show this machine's user memory and the
dashboard's own project file. Setting up a project you had not run
through the dashboard meant opening a terminal — `PUT /file`'s
"project" scope always resolves against the server's cwd, on purpose.
Add one narrow route per tool that writes into the directory you name:
CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex, both through the same
`project-memory.js`. Being the only write path that honours a
caller-supplied directory, it pays for that:
- the directory must be absolute and already exist — nothing is
created for you;
- the filename comes from the route, never from the body;
- an existing file, symlink included, is a 409 — this can only
create, never overwrite;
- it sits behind the loopback-Origin guard /api/run uses, so a page
in the user's browser cannot plant agent instructions in a project
directory. That guard moves to lib/same-origin.js to be shared.
The modal takes the dashboard's known project dirs as suggestions on a
free-text input rather than a closed list: a project it has never seen
is exactly the case this exists for.
Mutation-checked: dropping the origin guard, and swapping lstat for
stat, each fail a test.
Plugins/marketplaces GET routes were silently empty because codex-cli.js
never unwrapped the CLI's {installed,available}/{marketplaces} objects
into arrays; backup writes bypassed the symlink-escape guard entirely;
readFileSafe was stricter than every other Codex reader, showing a
symlinked skill/rule in the list and then refusing to open it;
marketplaceAdd only accepted http(s) URLs, rejecting owner/repo sources
the CLI itself takes. Also: docs drift, a dead i18n key, and a scope-cast
hazard in the shared Editor/ConfirmDelete modals.
Fixes, one per finding: unwrap installed/marketplaces in codex-cli.js so
every list route keeps returning a bare list; guard the backup path in
codex-mutate.js with the same assertNotSymlinkEscape the write path
already used (Claude's cc-mutate.js has no such guard on its primary
write path either, so left untouched there); relax readFileSafe's
containment to lexical-only, matching the other four Codex readers,
while leaving the write side's realpath check untouched; reuse
cc-plugin-cli's assertSource for marketplaceAdd instead of a third
validator (ssh remains out of scope, no credential story for it yet).
