+
+## What this is
+
+A Pi coding agent extension that provides a file-claiming mechanism to prevent conflicts when working with files. Not a standalone app — it runs inside Pi's extension host.
+
+## Type checking
+
+```
+npm run typecheck    # tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+No build step needed — Pi loads extensions via [jiti](https://github.com/unjs/jiti), which compiles TypeScript at runtime. `index.ts` is the entry point directly.
+
+## Entry point
+
+`index.ts` at repo root (not `src/`). Exports a default function receiving `ExtensionAPI`.
+
+## External dependencies
+
+The extension imports from Pi SDK packages (not in `package.json` — provided by the host):
+
+- `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` — `ExtensionAPI`, `ExtensionContext`, `ExtensionCommandContext`, etc.
+- `@earendil-works/pi-agent-core` — `AgentMessage`, `ToolResultMessage`, etc.
+- `@earendil-works/pi-tui` — TUI components (if needed)
+- `typebox` — `Type` for tool parameter schema definitions
+
+The extension has no external npm dependencies — all locking logic is self-contained.
+
+## Source structure
+
+- `index.ts` — extension entry, registry implementation, event bus, command registration, config command
+- `src/` — all logic modules:
+  - `config.ts` — typed configuration with defaults, file persistence, validation
+  - `diagnostics.ts` — LSP-inspired diagnostic system for lock status
+  - `edge-cases.ts` — crash recovery, race condition prevention, path resolution, lock migration
+  - `event-handlers.ts` — Pi lifecycle event handlers (tool_call, turn_end, session_shutdown, etc.)
+  - `lock-acquisition.ts` — lock acquisition, auto-claim, blocking, conflict resolution
+  - `lock-manager.ts` — atomic file operations, cross-process coordination
+  - `lock-types.ts` — all TypeScript interfaces and types
+  - `notifications.ts` — notification system for lock events
+  - `system-prompt.ts` — system prompt injection for lock claiming protocol
+  - `tools.ts` — LLM-callable tools (file_claiming_claim, release, list, check)
+  - `user-interaction.ts` — interactive lock query UI components
+- `tests/` — all test files
+
+## Lock types
+
+Three lock types with increasing exclusivity:
+
+- **read** — Shared read access. Multiple tools can hold read claims simultaneously.
+- **write** — Exclusive write access. Only one write claim per file path.
+- **exclusive** — Full exclusive access. No other claim of any type allowed.
+
+## Runtime state
+
+All runtime state lives in memory within the registry (`ClaimRegistry`). Configuration is persisted to `{lockDir}/config.json` (defaults to `~/.pi/agent/locks/config.json`).
+
+## Tools registered
+
+The extension registers four LLM-callable tools:
+
+- `file_claiming_claim` — claim a file with a lock
+- `file_claiming_release` — release a claim by ID or path
+- `file_claiming_list` — list all active claims
+- `file_claiming_check` — check lock status for a specific file
+
+## Commands registered
+
+- `/file-claiming-config` — view or update configuration at runtime
+- `/file-claiming-locks` — interactive lock management
+
+## Events emitted

+# File Claiming
+
+A Pi extension that provides a file-claiming mechanism to prevent conflicts when working with files. Tracks read, write, and exclusive claims on file paths.
+
+```bash
+pi install npm:@mikefreno/file-claiming
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Three lock types**: `read` (shared), `write` (exclusive write), `exclusive` (full exclusive)
+- **Auto-claim on edit**: Automatically claims files on first edit/write operation
+- **Auto-release at turn end**: Claims are automatically released when your turn ends
+- **TTL-based expiry**: Configurable auto-release timeout (default: 5 minutes)
+- **Conflict detection**: Clear error messages when locks conflict
+- **Diagnostics widget**: Real-time lock status in the diagnostics footer
+- **LLM-callable tools**: Tools for agents to claim, release, list, and check locks
+- **Interactive commands**: Slash commands for manual lock management
+- **Cross-session awareness**: Detects concurrent access across Pi sessions
+
+## How it works
+
+### Lock Protocol
+
+1. **Before editing** a file, check if it has an active claim
+2. **Claim the file** with the appropriate lock type
+3. **Edit with confidence** — other tools will be blocked from conflicting operations
+4. **Release the claim** when done (or let auto-release handle it)
+
+### Claim Types
+
+| Type | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| `read` | Shared read access. Multiple read claims can coexist on the same file. |
+| `write` | Exclusive write access. Only one write claim per file path. |
+| `exclusive` | Full exclusive access. No other claim of any type allowed. |
+
+### Conflict Resolution
+
+If you try to claim a file that is locked by another tool, you will receive a conflict notification showing the blocker's claim ID, type, and owner. You can release conflicting claims manually or wait for auto-release.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Tools (LLM-callable)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `file_claiming_claim` | Claim a file with read, write, or exclusive lock |
+| `file_claiming_release` | Release a file claim by ID or path |
+| `file_claiming_list` | List all active file claims |
+| `file_claiming_check` | Check lock status for a specific file |
+
+### Commands (interactive)
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/file-claiming-config` | View or update configuration at runtime |
+| `/file-claiming-locks` | Interactive lock management |
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `autoReleaseTTL` | number | `300000` (5 min) | Milliseconds before a claim is auto-released |
+| `releaseOnTurnEnd` | boolean | `true` | Release all claims at turn end |
+| `lockDir` | string | `~/.pi/agent/locks` | Directory for lock persistence files |
+| `blockedTools` | string[] | `["edit", "write"]` | Tools blocked while locks exist |
+| `showDiagnostics` | boolean | `true` | Show lock status in diagnostics footer |
+
+Update config at runtime:
+
+```
+/file-claiming-config autoReleaseTTL=600000
+/file-claiming-config releaseOnTurnEnd=false
+/file-claiming-config showDiagnostics=false
+```
+
+## Events
+
+The extension emits events on the shared extension bus:
+
+| Event | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `claim:acquired` | A claim was successfully acquired |
+| `claim:released` | A claim was released |
+| `claim:conflicted` | A claim could not be acquired |
+| `claim:expired` | A claim was auto-expired |

+/**
+ * index.ts — File Claiming Extension entry point.
+ *
+ * This extension provides a file-claiming mechanism that tracks active
+ * claims (read / write / exclusive) on file paths so tools and extensions
+ * can detect conflicts before operating on files.
+ *
+ * ## Quick start
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import type { FileClaim, ClaimOwner } from "./src/lock-types";
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Events
+ *
+ * The extension emits the following events on the shared extension bus
+ * (`pi.events`):
+ *
+ * | Event              | Payload       | Description                     |
+ * |--------------------|---------------|---------------------------------|
+ * | `claim:acquired`   | `ClaimEvent`  | A claim was successfully acquired. |
+ * | `claim:released`   | `ClaimEvent`  | A claim was released.           |
+ * | `claim:conflicted` | `ClaimEvent`  | A claim could not be acquired.  |
+ * | `claim:expired`    | `ClaimEvent`  | A claim was auto-expired.       |
+ *
+ * ## Configuration
+ *
+ * Options are managed through the `config.ts` module and can be
+ * persisted to `{lockDir}/config.json`.  Use `/file-claiming-config`
+ * to inspect or update values at runtime.
+ *

+ * lock-manager.ts — Core lock management module with atomic file operations,
+ * TTL checking, and cross-process synchronization.
+ *
+ * This module provides:
+ * 1. **Atomic file utilities** — write-to-temp-then-rename pattern for safe
+ *    file updates, even under crash scenarios.
+ * 2. **Cross-process coordination** — advisory file locking via O_EXCL so
+ *    multiple Pi sessions can share the same lock directory safely.
+ * 3. **LockManager class** — a file-backed persistence layer for the claim
+ *    registry, with per-entry CRUD, TTL-based expiry detection, and cleanup.
+ *
+ * ## Usage
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import { LockManager, atomicWriteJson, withLockFile } from "./lock-manager";
+ *
+ * const mgr = new LockManager("/path/to/locks");
+ * await mgr.init();
+ *
+ * // Persist a new claim
+ * await mgr.saveClaim(claim);
+ *
+ * // Load all active claims from disk
+ * const claims = await mgr.loadAllClaims();
+ *
+ * // Clean up expired entries
+ * const cleaned = await mgr.cleanupExpired();
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## File layout
+ *
+ * ```
+ * {lockDir}/
+ *   coord.lock       — coordination mutex (created with O_EXCL)
+ *   registry.json    — serialised claim + lock entries
+ * ```

+'## Lock Claiming Protocol\n' +
+'\n' +
+'You hold a file claiming system to prevent conflicts when working with files.\n' +
+'This system tracks read, write, and exclusive claims on file paths.\n' +
+'\n' +
+'### Claim Types\n' +
+'- **read** \u2014 Shared read access. Multiple tools can hold read claims simultaneously.\n' +
+'- **write** \u2014 Exclusive write access. Only one write claim per file path.\n' +
+'- **exclusive** \u2014 Full exclusive access. No other claim of any type allowed.\n' +
+'\n' +
+'### How Locks Work\n' +
+'1. Before editing or writing to a file, check if it has an active claim.\n' +
+'2. If a conflicting lock exists, release your claim first or wait for it to expire.\n' +
+'3. When you claim a file, other tools may be blocked until you release.\n' +
+'4. Claims have a TTL (time-to-live) and will auto-release if you forget.\n' +
+'\n' +
+'### Auto-Release Behavior\n' +
+'- Claims are automatically released when your turn ends (unless disabled).\n' +
+'- Default TTL: {autoReleaseTTL}ms. Claims expire after this time.\n' +
+'- You can check active claims with the `file_claiming_list` tool.\n' +
+'- You can check a specific file with the `file_claiming_check` tool.\n' +
+'\n' +
+'### Conflict Resolution\n' +
+'- If you try to claim a file that is locked by another tool, you will receive a conflict notification.\n' +
+'- Conflicting locks show the blocker\'s claim ID, type, and owner.\n' +
+'- You can release conflicting claims with the `file_claiming_release` tool.\n' +

+'- Release claims after editing to unblock other tools.\n' +
+'- Check for locks before starting large edits.\n' +
+'- Use "write" lock for normal edits, "exclusive" for critical operations.\n' +
+'\n' +

+'- You can manually release with `file_claiming_release` if needed.\n' +
