Use one deadline that matches the test’s 30-second budget.
If runtime publication occurs in the first five seconds, the second helper’s fresh 25-second deadline can expire before the test timeout, even when startup could finish within the test budget. The cited late-publication case only delays the helper diagnostic: startup that needs more than five additional seconds cannot finish within the 30-second budget. A shared 25-second deadline could also reject startup that would finish between 25 and 30 seconds.

Summary
On Windows, #6639 broke the Claude intercept local CA for any install that already had a CA directory, and made every CA load roughly 20 PowerShell process launches long. This PR keeps #6639's ownership, symlink, hard-link and ACL guarantees and fixes both problems.
Existing directories and files were refused. Releases before #6639 created
<OPENCODEX_HOME>/claude-interceptwithmkdirSync(…, 0o700). Windows ignores that mode, so the directory and itsca.key,ca.pemand lock database kept the DACL they inherited from the profile. #6639 required a pre-existing directory and each entry to already pass the strict protected-DACL inspection before any hardening, so upgraded Windows installs gotlocal_ca_path_unsafe. The intercept guide says the main intercept stays available on Windows with ACL checks.An existing directory or entry that fails the strict check now gets the existing
inheritedinspection first. That inspection requires the current user as owner and allows only current-user, SYSTEM and Administrators grants. Only after it passes is the entry hardened and then strictly re-verified. A foreign owner or any foreign Allow grant is still refused, with no ACL mutation. Directories that already pass the strict check are no longer re-hardened on every load.Every check launched PowerShell.
assertLocalCaWindowsAclrunsGet-Aclin a new PowerShell process, at about 0.5–1 s each onwindows-latest. One load re-inspected the same unchanged files and the SQLite journal about 22 times, synchronously during server startup, because Claude intercept is on by default.Verified ACL results are now remembered by file identity (bigint
dev,inoand creation time), at the level each was verified, for the duration of onewithLocalCaPublicationcall. Identities this code unlinks or replaces are retired. Every memo hit still runs thelstatand descriptor identity checks.Entries this process just created with
O_CREAT|O_EXCL, or with a successfulmkdir, skip the redundant owner pre-check. They are narrowed while still empty, and the strict check after narrowing still enforces the current user as owner before any secret is written. By reading the code, a CA load drops from about 22Get-Acllaunches to 5, on both fresh and existing homes.PowerShell cmdlet autoload stalled the check in real
ocx startprocesses. Temporary timing instrumentation on a throwaway CI branch (run 37381976691) showed the cause of the remaining 30 s startup stalls. Insideocx startchildren, the firstGet-Aclcall on the newclaude-interceptdirectory ran until its 30 s budget expired, and the CA was then refused aslocal_ca_path_unsafe. The .NET-only principal lookup in the same process took about 200 ms, and each icacls harden about 50 ms.Get-Acl,ForEach-ObjectandConvertTo-Jsonare module-autoloaded cmdlets. PowerShell 5.1 resolves them through the per-profile module analysis cache under%LOCALAPPDATA%. A fresh or redirected profile makes PowerShell rebuild that cache by scanning every installed module, which exceeds the budget. The inspection script now uses only .NET types:DirectorySecurityorFileSecuritywith Owner and Access sections, and JSON built with a[char]34quote. It returns the same owner, protection and SID-rule data with no cmdlet autoload, and a module onPSModulePathcan no longer shadowGet-Acl.Picker records on Windows.
picker-ca-persistence.tsrelied onO_NOFOLLOW, which does not exist on Windows. A symlinkedauthority-init.jsonwas therefore followed and failed closed aspicker_ca_metadata_invalidinstead ofpicker_ca_metadata_unsafe. It now checks withlstatfirst and refuses a symlink or a mismatched opened identity asunsafe. Picker mode is macOS-only in production.The
startup preparation diagnostics…test now compares only the picker diagnostics. It still checks every captured warning for private-key text. On Windows it had also captured an unrelated soft-fail icacls timeout warning fromhardenSecretDirAsync(dir, { required: false })insrc/config/paths.ts.These causes account for the red Windows shards on
devrun 37360604391. #6639's PR CI skipped the Windows shards, so none of this ran on Windows before merge. The shard runner stops at the first failing batch, so the dev run showed only the first failure in each shard. Later batches surfaced on this branch.local CA ignores predictable predecessor temp names…pre-creates the directory and failed atwithLocalCaPublication. The picker-store symlink test failed in a later batch.fresh production restarts retain fingerprint…loads the intercept CA and the picker CA in a child process with a 10 s limit and timed out. The diagnostics test failed on the stray warning above.startServer.startServersynchronously runs the CA load.Verification
