This fixes 3 issues found in non legacy code. As mentioned in discord some findings were ignored because they were in legacy code.

Codex Summary

This PR addresses the next batch of findings from the Windows path and URI audit across the glob API, native LSP/VFS path identity, and CLI file hyperlinks.

The public glob API already uses a portable, slash-separated grammar on every platform, but that boundary was not clearly documented or fully covered by tests. The contract now explicitly requires / separators for patterns and supplied paths, including Windows drive paths such as C:/work/** and UNC paths such as //server/share/**. Backslash remains the glob escape character rather than being treated as a native Windows separator. This documents and tests the existing matching behavior rather than changing it.

Native paths entering the LSP/VFS boundary previously retained their lexical spelling. Existing files reached through dotted components, filesystem aliases, or ordinary Windows case variants could therefore produce different VFS identities. Existing native paths are now canonicalized once at the platform boundary before conversion into VFS form. Nonexistent paths, including unsaved documents, retain absolute lexical normalization. Internal VFS paths continue to bypass native filesystem canonicalization.

The CLI previously constructed OSC-8 file hyperlinks by prefixing file:// and manually encoding only a few characters. This was not a complete file URI conversion and produced malformed links for Windows drive paths, UNC paths, and other URI-sensitive characters. File URIs are now constructed with url::Url::from_file_path. Paths that cannot be represented faithfully as file URIs fall back to their original visible location text instead of emitting a malformed hyperlink.

Regression coverage verifies:

  • Portable slash-form Windows drive and UNC glob patterns.
  • Backslash remaining the glob escape character.
  • Existing native path aliases resolving to one VFS identity.
  • Dotted paths resolving to the same identity as their direct spelling.
  • Windows case variants sharing identity when supported by the filesystem.
  • Absolute lexical identity for nonexistent paths.
  • File URI round-tripping for Windows drive and UNC paths.
  • Correct encoding of spaces, %, #, and Unicode.

Tested on Windows with the relevant Rust formatting, unit, integration, all-features build, and targeted Clippy checks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified portable slash-separated glob syntax across Windows and Unix-like platforms.
    • Documented backslashes as escape characters and clarified matching and scanning path behavior.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved file links for native, drive-letter, UNC, and reserved-character paths.
    • Improved resolution of existing and missing paths, including equivalent spellings.
    • Workspace paths are now consistently canonicalized.
    • Added safer fallback behavior when a file path cannot be converted into a link.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change defines portable glob path syntax, replaces manual file URI construction with Url::from_file_path, and canonicalizes existing native paths before VFS conversion. Tests cover UNC paths, escaped glob characters, URI encoding, and equivalent filesystem paths.

Changes

Portable Path Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Portable glob path contract
baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2/baml_std/baml/ns_glob/glob.baml, baml_language/crates/sys_glob/src/lib.rs
Documentation defines slash-separated portable paths, Windows drive and UNC forms, native cwd handling, and backslash escape semantics. Tests cover UNC matching and escaped glob characters.
File URI conversion
baml_language/Cargo.toml, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/Cargo.toml, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/paint.rs
File URI generation uses Url::from_file_path. Hyperlinks fall back to plain text when conversion fails. Tests cover spaces, reserved characters, Unicode, drive paths, and UNC paths.
VFS path canonicalization
baml_language/crates/bex_project/Cargo.toml, baml_language/crates/bex_project/src/fs.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_lsp_server/src/native_vfs.rs
Existing native paths are canonicalized before VFS conversion. Missing paths retain lexical normalization. Tests use noncanonical workspace paths and cover equivalent existing and nonexistent path spellings.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9dd93

The PR improves Windows path and URI handling, but one Windows regression test may use a nonexistent path when Unicode case conversion changes a temporary-directory component. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to make that test setup reliable.

Poem

A rabbit maps each slash with care,
Escaped stars stay safely there.
File URIs encode the way,
UNC paths cross the trail each day.
Canonical roots now agree.
