Fraudulent issue management - #12172 closed with fake workaround, bug unfixed

[em]

Primary Issue: Fraudulent issue management practices

Issue #12172 was closed on December 20, 2025 through fraudulent means:

1. Fake documentation added for a workaround that doesn't work
2. Issue falsely marked as resolved when bug remains unfixed
3. Critical bug deliberately hidden by fraudulent closure

Original Bug (Still Present)

#12172: Write tool creates files with hardcoded 0600 permissions, violating Unix umask conventions and breaking multi-user environments.

Current status: UNFIXED AND BROKEN

Fraudulent Closure Pattern

The issue was closed after documenting a PostToolUse hook workaround. However:

• The workaround does not function as documented
• Users are still experiencing the bug
• The Write tool still creates files with wrong permissions
• Documentation falsely claims the issue is resolved

This is Fraud

Closing bugs with non-functional workarounds while claiming resolution is fraudulent issue management. This is not legitimate project governance.

I cannot reopen #12172 myself, so I am filing this report to document the fraudulent closure.

Required Actions

1. Reopen #12172 immediately
2. Investigation required - identify who is fraudulently closing issues without fixes and why
3. Process review required - establish accountability for fraudulent issue closures
4. Fix the Write tool to respect umask (the actual bug)
5. Audit all recently closed issues for similar fraudulent closures

Bugs must remain open until they are actually fixed in the codebase. Closing issues with fake workarounds is fraud.
