Outcome

Persist the external dashboard URL configured through CHAT_UI_URL so status, dashboard-url, and list report the browser-facing address after onboarding. Host preflight distinguishes loopback/wildcard listeners from listeners bound only to an external interface.

Fixes #11439.

Changes

  • Preserve main's OpenShell-owned forwarding lifecycle from feat(openshell): centralize forward lifecycle ownership #11594.
  • Distinguish loopback/wildcard listeners from external-interface-only listeners during dashboard port preflight.
  • Persist and validate dashboardExternalUrl, retain it during unrelated registry updates, and preserve public-output redaction.
  • Retain the Podman toolchain artifact refresh needed for branch E2E.

Merged main at fcd2c509be6b3652d04e6a8ddafccc6f3f00ee0e, including #12507. All 15 conflicts were resolved using main's final dependency and startup repairs. The interim audit and external-image restart workarounds were removed. This PR adds no separate dependency upgrade on top of main.

Verification

Current head: 6bd0ac5e1cb33210d1028073e36817c15fe2a730. Both new commits are GitHub Verified.

  • The affected selection covered 599 existing tests: 598 passed initially; one workflow-boundary test timed out during concurrent local validation. Its entire 246-test file then passed unchanged in an isolated run.

  • Lint, all 18 repository checks, formatting, and CLI type checking passed.

  • Published tracked file contents and modes match the locally validated resolution.

  • No test cases or assertions were added during this integration.

  • PR CI: green, 23 passed and two skipped.

  • Image qualification: green, including Docker and rootless Podman activation. Docker passed on an unchanged-head rerun after an OpenShell connection failure.

  • Portable profile: green after an unchanged-head rerun of an interrupted dependency download.

  • Self-hosted qualification: green, including llama.cpp on a generic NVIDIA GPU. The initial selector had timed out waiting for image qualification; its rerun used the successful publication.

The complete unfiltered branch and exact-base runs used the PR workflow at 6bd0ac5e1cb33210d1028073e36817c15fe2a730, with Docker and Podman. Both immutable dispatch receipts were verified.

Run Tested source Passing scenarios Failed scenarios Blocked dependent scenario
Full PR run 6bd0ac5e1cb33210d1028073e36817c15fe2a730 95 35 1
Exact-base replay fcd2c509be6b3652d04e6a8ddafccc6f3f00ee0e 100 30 1

There were 26 failing scenarios in both runs, nine that failed only on the candidate, and four that failed only on the base. Some shared failures occurred at different stages, so matching failed-job counts alone do not establish identical causes. Protected GPU runtime qualification was blocked in both runs by protected startup failures.

The unchanged-head focused follow-up passed 20 of 20 existing executions. It covers all nine candidate-only failures and both Docker and Podman dashboard rebind cases. Passing test summaries were checked; skipped cases were not substituted for passes. The candidate-only failures did not reproduce, and no code or test assertions were changed for the follow-up.

Automatic CI and qualifications are green. The unfiltered suites retain baseline failures and are not presented as universally passing.

The PR remains unapproved and unmerged.

Earlier E2E evidence — superseded heads

At 98aaedda4804010b0ef2277dee3ad8de14a6f030, full branch E2E had 102 passing and 29 failing scenarios; the exact-base replay had 105 passing and 26 failing. An unchanged-head lifecycle follow-up passed all 11 selected scenarios. Remote dashboard binding and interrupted-onboarding resume passed on Docker and Podman. These are historical results, not current-head qualification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Sandbox status and inventory now show a configured external dashboard URL. Dashboard links use that address when available, with the local address retained as a fallback.
    • External dashboard URLs are validated, and their port is adjusted to match the dashboard’s effective port.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Dashboard port detection distinguishes loopback or wildcard listeners from listeners on external interfaces, avoiding false conflicts when selecting a loopback port.

…nd persist external URL

When CHAT_UI_URL points at an external HTTPS reverse proxy bound only to an
external interface, onboard fell back to a different dashboard port and never
recorded the browser-facing external URL, so status, dashboard-url, and
list --json reported only http://127.0.0.1:<fallback>/.

Two facets of the same interface-blindness are fixed:

- The dashboard-port probe (isPortBoundOnHost) now decides loopback-bind
  availability from the 127.0.0.1 bind probe and only treats loopback/wildcard
  lsof hits as blocking; an external-interface-only listener no longer forces a
  fallback. docker-proxy / 0.0.0.0 detection (#3260) is preserved, and an
  operator-opted 0.0.0.0 remote bind still counts every interface (#3259).
- The OpenShell forward-ownership probe (isForwardServiceListenerOwner) is made
  interface-specific the same way, so a loopback forward is recognized as sole
  owner even when the port number is also bound on an external interface.

The resolved external dashboard URL (host+scheme with the effective port) is now
persisted in the sandbox registry when CHAT_UI_URL supplies an external origin,
across the fresh-create and reuse/resume paths, and surfaced by status,
dashboard-url, and list (text + JSON), falling back to the loopback form only
when no external origin was configured. A single shared predicate validates the
URL on both write and read so a persisted value can always be read back.

Fixes #11439

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds interface-aware dashboard port checks and persists validated external dashboard URLs during sandbox creation and reuse. Dashboard commands, inventory output, and status output use the persisted URL when available. The staging action also updates its E2E toolchain artifacts.

Changes

External dashboard URL handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
URL validation and port detection
src/lib/dashboard/url.ts, src/lib/dashboard/url.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/dashboard-port.ts, src/lib/onboard/dashboard-port.test.ts
URL helpers validate external dashboard URLs and rebind them to effective ports. Port checks identify listeners that conflict with loopback binds.
Onboarding and registry persistence
src/lib/onboard/created-sandbox-finalization.ts, src/lib/onboard/created-sandbox-finalization.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-reuse.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-reuse.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-registration.ts, src/lib/state/registry/..., src/lib/state/gateway-registry.ts, src/lib/state/gateway-registry.test.ts
Sandbox creation and reuse add resolved external dashboard URLs to registry state. Registry parsing validates persisted values, and registry updates preserve the URL when changing the dashboard port.
Dashboard URL and inventory output
src/commands/sandbox/dashboard-url.ts, src/lib/dashboard-url-command.ts, src/lib/dashboard-url-command.test.ts, src/lib/inventory/index.ts
Dashboard URL commands prefer the persisted external URL and fall back to the host-derived URL. Inventory and status output display the sanitized external URL when present.

Normal dashboard creation and reuse preserve the effective external URL. A stored loopback URL can still be reported as an external URL, and the port fallback has a conditional bind-scope gap. These bounded concerns warrant owner awareness but do not establish a blocker for the inspected workflows.

Validate dashboardExternalUrl before persisting it.

normalizeSandboxPolicyAttribution() does not validate this field, and registerSandbox() persists any non-null value. Use resolveExternalDashboardUrl() at the write boundary so direct callers cannot persist malformed or loopback URLs. dashboard-url-command.ts uses any non-empty persisted value as its dashboard base URL.

Add fresh and resumed persistence assertions for dashboardExternalUrl.

The implementation passes this field through managed-dashboard registration. The finalization test covers only the loopback case (dashboardExternalUrl: null). Public onboarding tests cover forwarding or mock registry publication without asserting this field. Add fresh and resumed boundary cases with an external CHAT_UI_URL, and assert the committed registry or list/status value.

Pass loopbackOnly to the fallback bind probe.

ensureDashboardForward passes false for a 0.0.0.0 target, but probePortBoundSync always binds 127.0.0.1. If both lsof probes are unavailable or inconclusive, an external-interface-only listener can be missed, and onboarding may select a port that the 0.0.0.0 forward cannot bind.

Reject loopback URLs in registry state.

isValidDashboardExternalUrl() accepts http://127.0.0.1:18789 and http://[::1]:18789. It checks only for a non-empty hostname. This parser therefore accepts loopback values for dashboardExternalUrl, although this field represents a browser-facing external origin. Such a row survives reload and can cause later dashboard output to select a local URL as the external URL.

Make the shared validator reject normalized IPv4 and IPv6 loopback hosts, then retain this parser check.

Persist the URL with the effective dashboard port.

resolveExternalDashboardUrl(chatUiUrl) keeps the port from chatUiUrl. If getForwardPort() selects a fallback port, the registry stores the configured port instead of dashboardPort. Later commands then report an endpoint that does not serve this dashboard.

Use resolveExternalDashboardUrlForPort(chatUiUrl, dashboardPort). The reuse flow already does this.

Proposed fix
-    dashboardExternalUrl = resolveExternalDashboardUrl(chatUiUrl);
+    dashboardExternalUrl = resolveExternalDashboardUrlForPort(chatUiUrl, dashboardPort);

Also update the import on Line 20.

Loopback URLs pass registry validation.

isValidDashboardExternalUrl() accepts http://127.0.0.1:18789 and http://[::1]:18789. Such a row survives reload. dashboard-url then reports it as the external URL. The field represents a browser-facing external origin. Reject loopback hosts in the validator, or add a loopback check here.

Validate dashboardExternalUrl at the write boundary.

registerSandbox() persists any non-null value. Direct callers can store malformed or loopback URLs. resolveDashboardBaseUrl uses any non-empty persisted string as the dashboard base URL. Normalize the value with resolveExternalDashboardUrl() before persisting it.

Proposed fix
-      dashboardExternalUrl: entry.dashboardExternalUrl ?? undefined,
+      dashboardExternalUrl: resolveExternalDashboardUrl(entry.dashboardExternalUrl) ?? undefined,

Import resolveExternalDashboardUrl from ../dashboard/url.

Bind probe ignores loopbackOnly.

When loopbackOnly is false, the lsof checks treat any listener as blocking. The final fallback probePortBoundSync(port) still probes only 127.0.0.1. If lsof is inconclusive, an external-interface-only listener is missed. A 0.0.0.0 bind would then fail with EADDRINUSE. This is the same concern as the earlier review comment.

Pass the bind address to probePortBoundSync. Use 0.0.0.0 when loopbackOnly is false. Add a regression test.

Approved at 6bd0ac5 under the maintainer's explicit do-no-harm decision. PR CI, Docker/Podman image qualification, portable validation, and llama.cpp GPU qualification pass. The unchanged-head 20-case follow-up passed, including all nine candidate-only full-suite failures and dashboard rebind on both runtimes. The full-suite/base comparison and its limitations remain documented in the PR.
