* fix(files): never write through a dangling symlink A path that doesn't exist yet was authorized by walking up to the nearest existing folder. A dangling symlink fails realpath with ENOENT, so the walk stepped over it and approved the link's own path; the write then followed the link and created its target outside the allowed folders. The walk now continues from the link's target, and returns that real destination. * refactor(native-chat): rename the chat visuals folder to the chat scratch folder The per-chat folder agents write into is the chat's scratch space, not only a visuals folder. Its root becomes <state>/chat-scratch/<hash> (the hash is unchanged) and the agent variable becomes ORCA_CHAT_SCRATCH_DIR. The old ORCA_CHAT_VISUALS_DIR is never set and is still stripped from what every agent child inherits, Pi included. The visuals skill names the new variable and says the folder is temporary. * test(native-chat): keep the delivery test to the rename The launch parity snapshot already pins that every agent drops the pre-rename variable. * feat(native-chat): chat scratch folders expire after 30 days unused A chat's scratch folder was removed only when its record was gone or its local workspace was proven deleted, so the folder of a long-idle chat lived forever. The sweep now expires a chat's folder once its newest journal row and the newest entry anywhere in the folder (complete, no-follow scan) are older than 30 days, unless the host holds a running agent, a delivery or an open dispatch for the chat. The final recheck and a rename to <hash>.expired run in the chat's session lane and then a per-folder lock that Orca scratch saves (desktop IPC and host RPC) also take; the delete runs outside both. A save that settles after the age scan marks that expiry stale. Leftover .expired folders and the pre-rename native-chat-visuals root are removed. The workspace-removed rule and its catalog verdict are deleted. * fix(files): refuse any dangling symlink in the missing-path walk Following a dangling link by hand resolved relative targets against the lexical parent, not the link's real folder: through a folder link the walk could loop forever or authorize the wrong file. Refuse instead: realpath can't say where a dangling link leads, but a write would follow it. * test(files): drop the loop case that duplicated the dangling-link refusal * refactor(native-chat): trim the scratch expiry and test the real live-work veto - Remove the other-profile catalog options (running profile id, never-written profiles) that only the deleted workspace verdict used; history cleanup's reader is unchanged. - The sweep keeps its original remove-and-warn block; an unused chat's folder is parked by one function. Drop the unused `now` option and the candidate identity check. - The live-agent case runs against the host's real runWhileExecutionIdle. * style(native-chat): keep the session host within its line limit after the main sync * fix(native-chat): every scratch save and every overlapping sweep share the folder lock Binary (base64) runtime saves now take the scratch folder lock like text saves, and each folder keeps a set of expiry candidates so one sweep finishing no longer hides a save from another.
