What changed

The “Move archives to Trash after successful extraction” setting now has an indented Ask before moving archives to Trash sub-option. Confirmation is off by default. Once source cleanup is enabled, successful whole-archive extraction moves the source to Trash without the repeated MacPacker dialog. Users who want a second check can enable the sub-option. Failed, cancelled, partially merged, or changed-source extractions still keep the source.

Depends on #285. That PR introduces source cleanup, so this branch starts at its head. Until #285 merges, GitHub's main-base Files changed tab includes those prerequisite commits. Review only this PR's focused diff. This PR should merge after #285.

The Finder-to-app URL remains public (#286). Source cleanup itself remains opt-in. With that setting enabled, URL-triggered extraction can clean up under an existing folder grant; users who prefer another check can enable the confirmation sub-option.

Verification

  • After addressing review findings, the complete Swift suite passed: 615 tests in 145 suites. Focused tests cover empty-password rejection, failed-extraction cleanup, encrypted-edit rejection, tarball associations, and fail-closed confirmation policy.
  • Direct and Store Release builds succeeded; the earlier universal-architecture check covered all 16 bundled Mach-O files.
  • In a disposable signed app, enabled cleanup with the new confirmation sub-option off. A disposable ZIP extracted successfully, its source moved to Trash, and no second confirmation appeared. The initial sandbox folder-access picker was granted for that test directory.
  • Manual CLI smoke checks confirmed that an empty password writes no archive, a failed encrypted extraction leaves no new output folder, and encrypted-name edits are rejected before writing.
  • The source-cleanup confirmation callback is now shared by Finder requests and native archive windows; Core keeps the source when confirmation is enabled but no callback approves it. With confirmation off, cleanup proceeds without an extra prompt.
  • String catalog parses, and git diff --check passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds progress-only Finder sessions, staged extraction with conflict and source-cleanup options, and a bundled command-line tool. It also adds TAR and split-archive support and a settings interface for choosing default archive associations.

Changes

Finder workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Progress-only Finder launch
FinderExtension/FinderSync.swift, Modules/Sources/FinderMenu/*, MacPacker/Features/Settings/IntegrationSettingsView.swift, Config/products/macpacker.json
Supported Finder actions can launch the app without activation when the setting is enabled. The app tracks transient sessions, pending requests, windows, and progress before terminating.
Asynchronous Finder handlers
MacPacker/Core/UrlHandling/*, MacPacker/Features/PasswordWindow/FinderPasswordPrompt.swift
URL handlers await their archive operations instead of scheduling the work in separate tasks. Finder password requests use a floating password panel.
Archive-save progress
Modules/Sources/Core/ArchiveSaver.swift, Modules/Sources/Core/ArchiveState.swift, Modules/Sources/Core/Extraction/ExtractionProgressCenter.swift, MacPacker/Features/ExtractionProgress/*
Archive saves report byte and percentage progress, and progress jobs record completion or failure. The running-job cancel control appears only when cancellation is available.

Extraction installation and cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Staged extraction and conflict handling
Modules/Sources/Core/ArchiveState.swift, Modules/Sources/Core/Extraction/ExtractionDestination.swift, MacPacker/Core/UrlHandling/AppUrlHandler.swift, MacPacker/Features/PasswordWindow/ExtractionConflictPrompt.swift, MacPacker/Features/ArchiveWindow/ArchiveWindowManager.swift
Extraction installs staged contents using conflict choices and records the output location. The app can report extraction failures and retained backups.
Extraction symbolic-link safety
Modules/Sources/CSevenZip/*, Modules/Sources/Core/Extraction/ExtractionLinkSafety.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/ExtractionConflictTests.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/ReviewSafetyTests.swift
Extraction checks existing output-path components and staged links for unsafe targets, escapes, and cycles.
Post-extraction source cleanup
Modules/Sources/Core/Extraction/ExtractionSourceCleanup.swift, Modules/Sources/Core/AppStorageKeys.swift, MacPacker/Features/Settings/GeneralSettingsView.swift, Config/products/macpacker.json
Settings control whether source archives move to Trash after successful extraction and whether the app asks first. Cleanup verifies source identities and attempts to restore earlier moves if a later move fails.

Command-line and archive-format support

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI target and commands
Modules/Sources/ArchiveCommands/*, Modules/Sources/MacPackerCLI/main.swift, Modules/Package.swift, MacPacker.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, MacPacker/Features/Settings/AdvancedSettingsView.swift, docs/command-line.md
The CLI supports listing, extracting, creating, updating, deleting, and renaming archives. The project defines package and app targets, and the documentation describes invocation and options.
TAR format support
Modules/Sources/Swift7zip/*, Modules/Sources/Core/Settings/ArchiveSaveOptions.swift, Modules/Sources/Core/Formats/Catalog.json, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/*
TAR uses copy-only compression settings and does not support encryption. Archive writing and format detection recognize TAR.
Split-archive naming and resolution
Modules/Sources/Core/Formats/Catalog.json, Modules/Sources/ArchiveCommands/VolumePath.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/ArchiveNamingTests.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/ArchiveToolsTests.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/SplitArchiveTests.swift
Catalog rules and path helpers recognize numeric TAR volumes and additional RAR volume schemes. Tests cover naming and first-volume resolution.

Default archive-app settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Association choices and filtering
Modules/Sources/Core/Formats/DefaultArchiveAssociations.swift, Modules/Tests/CoreTests/DefaultArchiveAssociationsTests.swift
The association helper builds sorted format choices and filters excluded and numbered-volume extensions.
Default-app chooser
MacPacker/Features/Settings/DefaultArchiveAppView.swift, MacPacker/Features/Settings/FormatSettingsView.swift
Format settings present a chooser that applies selected archive associations sequentially and reports cancellation, errors, or unconfirmed associations.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9ed86

The optional Trash confirmation and the related extraction changes show no remaining merge-blocking issue in the reviewed material. The CLI refuses filename encryption on updates, so the earlier concern no longer applies.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9ed86

With cleanup enabled, an externally supplied extraction request can move an archive to Trash without another confirmation when the app already has folder access. Successful extraction and source-identity checks limit the risk, and confirmation can be re-enabled, but those controls do not establish who requested the operation.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: When cleanup is enabled and folder access already exists, a caller able to open the public URL scheme can select an extractable archive and reach Trash cleanup without fresh consent. Default-off confirmation removes the repeated authorization step described in the PR, while file validation and sandbox grants establish resource access rather than the requester's authority.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently attackable scope is eligible archives within the app's effective filesystem access, including matching split-volume sets. A caller can supply source and destination paths through repeated public URL requests. Exposure depends on cleanup being enabled, successful extraction, and sufficient access; the inspected path does not establish root authority, cross-tenant access, or data exfiltration.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller without equivalent filesystem access could invoke the public extraction URL for a known archive in a previously accessible folder. With cleanup enabled, confirmation off, and a successful conflict-free extraction, MacPacker can move that archive to Trash using its own access. This is a conditional authorization concern, not a verified exploit or a supplied retained Security finding.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Malformed URL payloads are rejected, uncovered folders can require user access approval, and cleanup remains gated by opt-in policy, installation outcome, cancellation checks, and source identity. Existing folder coverage returns approval without a new panel. These controls constrain resource access and correctness but do not authenticate the URL sender.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Identity verification and path-based trashing are separate operations, leaving a check-to-use interval. Cancellation is checked before sandbox access, while cleanup itself has no cancellation checks or durable recovery journal. Recovery is best-effort for recorded moves. These are properties of the broader cleanup implementation; their introduction by the focused confirmation change was not established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate public-request authorization from the general cleanup preference: retain fresh consent for unauthenticated URL-triggered cleanup, or use a verifiable request capability tied to the intended source and operation.
  • proposed — Define an explicit cleanup commit boundary and source-set ownership policy for concurrent requests, cancellation, and recovery, so callers can distinguish installed output from cleanup completion without assuming transactional Trash behavior.

Modules/Sources/Core/Extraction/ExtractionSourceCleanup.swift (1)

40-48: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Each cleanup hashes every source volume twice.

Line 40 computes a SHA-256 digest of every source volume. Line 46 then computes a full digest of each volume again before it moves that volume to Trash. Together with the digest from init, perform reads every byte of the archive set three times. For multi-gigabyte split archives, this adds a lot of I/O after extraction.

Keep the full-content check at Line 40. At Line 46, use a cheaper identity check: device, inode, size, and modification date. This check still narrows the time window between the check and the move, because the full digest was verified just before the loop.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-                guard try SourceIdentity(source) == stamp else {
+                guard try SourceIdentity.quickMatches(source, stamp) else {
                     throw ArchiveError.extractionFailed("The source archive changed during cleanup.")
                 }

Add a quickMatches helper that compares .systemNumber, .systemFileNumber, .size, and .modificationDate with values captured in init.

`command.passwordStdin` so an empty password from either explicit password input
option is rejected before archive creation, regardless of
`command.encryptNames`. Preserve the existing behavior when no password option
is supplied.
- Line 101: Update the option handling around options.password and creating so
an edit with --encrypt-names is rejected unless the edit can encrypt the entire
archive with the supplied password; do not silently discard the password for
this request.
- Around line 49-50: Update the extraction flow around `manager.createDirectory`
and `archive.extractAll` to remove the destination and any partial output if
extraction fails, but only when this invocation created the directory. Preserve
pre-existing destinations and propagate the extraction error.

Review follow-up: I kept the per-volume content hash before moving a source to Trash. A metadata-only check can miss an in-place edit whose size and modification time are restored; the existing preserved-metadata regression test demonstrates that case. This costs an extra read for large split sets, but cleanup favors detecting source changes before removal. The four inline findings were fixed in 9ed863d and their threads are resolved.
