fix(server): Claude task output tail ignores ids that are not a single path segment - #26501
tailClaudeTaskOutput builds the live-output path for Claude background tasks as <root>/<project>/<session_id>/tasks/<task_id>.output. Both ids are taken straight from the Claude SDK task_started stream message. path.join normalizes .., so a malformed session_id or task_id reaches a .output file outside the Claude task directory, and the server streams it to clients as command_output.delta. The new test reproduces this on main: a sessionId of ../../outside streams outside/tasks/<id>.output.
Change
tailClaudeTaskOutput returns at once, before any filesystem call, unless both ids are one plain path segment (/^[\w-]+$/). That pattern rules out ., /, \\ and empty ids, so the joined path cannot leave the root. Real ids fit it: session ids are UUIDs, and the installed Claude Code 2.1.303 generates task ids as a 9-character [a-z0-9] string. The guard has the same effect as the existing missing-file path: the command shows no live output, and its final tool result still arrives.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.ts: the new test reads nothing when the session id leaves the Claude task directory fails against main's ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts (5211acf) and passes at 1f68440. The 3 existing tail tests still pass.

One reviewer checked the base and head independently. On main, traversal through either sessionId or taskId streams the outside file; at the fix it streams nothing, and valid ids still tail normally. All 52 session ids and 26 task ids in the Claude replay fixtures (CLI 2.1.111–2.1.285) match the pattern.
ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts: 244/244 pass. vp run check:changed: pass.
Evidence: this is a server-only fix with no visible surface, so there are no captures. The proof is the test plus the transcript above.
Not checked: Claude Code builds older than 2.1.111. If one emitted ids with other characters, the command would show no live output and its final result would still arrive.

…e path segment
The tail joined the SDK's task_started session_id and task_id into a
filesystem path unchecked, so an id containing `..` could stream a file
outside the Claude task directory as command output. Skip tailing unless
both ids match `^[\w-]+$`.

Walkthrough
The Claude task output tail now rejects session or task IDs that do not match a safe-segment pattern before filesystem access. Tests verify that traversal values for either ID do not produce output chunks.
Changes: Claude task output path validation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Validate IDs before reading task output apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.ts
The tail checks both IDs against a safe-segment pattern before filesystem access. Tests verify that traversal values for either ID produce no chunks.
Task output could include bytes from a readable file outside the session directory if the output file is replaced during tailing. Protect the file open before merging unless this risk is explicitly accepted.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#26489] tailClaudeTaskOutput validates both provider-supplied IDs with SAFE_PATH_SEGMENT before it obtains the filesystem service or calls locate. The pattern permits only one plain path segment, so .., separators, and empty IDs cannot move the joined candidate outside root. The added test covers traversal through both sessionId and taskId and asserts that no content is emitted. The existing valid-ID tail behavior remains unchanged. The pattern provides the required containment behavior for these provider-supplied path components, although the implementation does not add a separate resolved-path comparison.

Explanation
The whole-PR diff changes only ClaudeTaskOutputTail.ts and its test. The validation constant and early return implement [#26489]. The test cases for session and task ID traversal directly verify the fix. No unrelated behavior or files appear in the diff.

Protect the tailed file from link swaps.
local_bash can write to Claude Code’s per-user temporary directory. The tail performs stat and then fileSystem.open(filePath, { flag: "r" }) as separate operations. If the task replaces the output file during that gap, the Node-backed open can follow the symlink and stream its target. Claude Code’s own output-swap check does not protect this separate read.
Enforce containment when opening the file, including protection against link replacement.

Update the file-opening step in the tail flow so containment is enforced
atomically when opening the output, preventing a symlink swap after the
preceding stat from redirecting the read outside the allowed directory.
Cover traversal through taskId in the existing regression test.
TASK_ID is valid, but the current test uses an invalid sessionId, so it still passes if only the taskId check is removed. Add a traversal-shaped taskId with the valid SESSION_ID to cover both checks in this existing case.
