Managing sync targets through owner-only IPC
Keeping root validation, revisioned configuration, plan, apply, and rollback inside fixed Mac operations
Purpose
The synchronization core had no safe management path for choosing root targets. The current Mac user needed to plan, confirm, and restore targets without exposing conversation bodies or credentials to the administration interface.
Implementation
owner-only synchronization state store implements owner-only configuration with applied, pending, revision, and rollback snapshots, using atomic writes, expected revisions, and confirmations that expire after five minutes. Reload failure restores the last known good state, and mutations are serialized.
A current-user Unix domain socket under synchronization service accepts only nine fixed operations covering status, root checks, plan, apply, rollback, doctor, outbox retry, and logs. Arbitrary commands, paths, and environments are absent from input, while TypeScript and Swift contracts share a golden fixture.

What was confirmed
Verification results
A bounded metadata-only scan of the real App Server inspected 303 Threads, retained 25 roots, and excluded 278 non-roots. Two existing synchronization targets were revalidated as root identities.
Tests rejected files or sockets with unsafe ownership, mode, or links, as well as stale revisions and invalid confirmations.
The existing two Threads, ten Turns, 39 Messages, and two receipts remained intact without reset. The SwiftUI interface and service lifecycle were not yet implemented at the cutoff.
Basis for completion
Completion required target planning, apply, reload, and failure recovery to operate through fixed owner-only IPC and revision contracts.
