Remote pane parity: cmd-click on the host, Ports from the host, busy/idle in the sidebar (#254) by joelmoss · Pull Request #326 · joelmoss/workroom

joelmoss · 2026-10-04T10:09:06Z

Closes #254. Closes #208 (its last criterion, "port forwarding works for a running remote process").

Summary

Remote pane parity: the places where a remote workroom's pane still behaved differently from a local one. Pane close was already done, in #306 (#283). This PR covers the other three. All of it is behind the hidden remoteWorkroomsPreview setting in Nightly and Dev builds, as #253 was.

Ports from the workroom's host. PortForwardingModel is now one model per host (model(for:)), kept for the launch. The inspector's Ports section shows the selected workroom's host, so a remote workroom's ports are forwarded from there. A remote workroom the app can't reach shows no Ports section, rather than this Mac's list. A forward never connects a host; selecting the workroom does.

Busy or idle in the sidebar. A remote workroom's sidebar row carries the wakefulness badge, backed by one WakefulnessModel per remote host.

The badge polls only while the row is shown, and never connects the host.
Its "Keep awake" click connects the host first, as this Mac's spawns an agent.
Quitting drains every host's in-flight keep: up to 6 s for this Mac's and 15 s for a remote host's, in parallel.
The Linux agent always runs the classifier, so neither the agent nor host setup changed.

Cmd-click on the host (C7). A cmd-clicked path in a remote pane resolves against the shell's directory on the host (hostCwd) and goes through the host's file service. It opens in the in-app viewer, since no editor on this Mac can open a file on another machine.

Each candidate is probed with a one-byte read, which the agent answers from the file's size.
Paths are split into components and sent byte for byte. Foundation's URL normalisation decomposed Unicode filenames.
.. is resolved on the Mac: the agent refuses any path with a .. component (vcs::relative). The cost: link/../file.rb names the file beside the link, not beside its target (Remote cmd-click on link/../file opens the file beside a symlink, not beside its target #327).
A newer click replaces the one before it, and an answer whose pane has closed opens nothing.
The cmd-click gate decides from the word alone: a candidate with a /, a name.ext (dotfiles included) or a :line passes, and only the click asks the host. An earlier design cached the host's answers behind the synchronous gate (GhosttySurfaceView.mouseDown). Each of three review passes found a new failure in it, and the owner chose this gate instead.
Accepted costs: a path-shaped word with no file behind it shows the hand and its click opens nothing (logged). A dotless bare name like Gemfile isn't clickable in a remote pane.

Known limits (in the design doc's "As built (#254)"):

The viewer opens a file at the top.
Paths outside the workroom open nothing.
No ceiling prompt card is shown for a remote host.
Filed as follow-ups:
- Remote port forwards are reachable by every account on the Mac #323: remote forwards are reachable by every account on the Mac, as any 127.0.0.1 forward is. The owner accepted this for now.
- A failed remote "Keep awake" shows nothing #324: a failed remote keep shows nothing.
- Remote cmd-click fails for relative paths when the workroom root goes through a symlink #325: relative clicks fail where the root goes through a symlink.
- Remote cmd-click on link/../file opens the file beside a symlink, not beside its target #327: link/../file with a symlinked link opens the file beside the link; the fix needs the agent to resolve .. on the host.

Also: a P0 TODO and #322 for CredentialRelayTests.testIdleStrangersDoNotBlockAKnownWorkroom, which fails under full-suite load (see Test plan).

Test Coverage

Step 7 audit (value-weighted, ★★/★★★ only):

COVERAGE: 16/22 paths tested (73%) | value-weighted 16/22 (73%) | weakly covered 0

Tests: 29 → 29 test files (new tests are methods in existing files).
Test value: 3 tests written, 0 rejected by the authoring gate, 1 existing test extended, 0 paths weakly covered.
Coverage gate: 73%, below the 80% target. Six paths are intentionally uncovered by owner decision; each is view wiring that only a UI test or a test-only production hook could reach:
- ChangesPanel.portsHost
- the sidebar badge's placement
- the badge's isLocal/identifier wiring
- the browser branch of onOpenURL
- openRemoteFile's log-only miss
- the quit-time drainAllKeeps
After the audit, the review fixes and the gate redesign added more tests. They cover:
- the host-free gate and the fact that it never asks the host
- dotfiles
- Unicode bytes
- .. left for the host
- stale and closed-workroom clicks
- path errors moving on to the next candidate
- a remote keep connecting first
Every new behaviour test was negative-controlled: the code it covers was broken on purpose and the test went red.

Pre-Landing Review

The fix cap was reached; the review did not converge. The specialists were Testing, Maintainability and Simplification, plus Red Team on every pass. Security and Performance were skipped because the scope tool doesn't count Swift as frontend or backend.

Pass 1: 10 informational findings, all auto-fixed. Among them:
- a remote keep never connected the host;
- quitting drained only this Mac's keep;
- hover probes connected the host;
- busy reads were cached as "no file";
- a click-gate test raced a 200 ms TTL.
Pass 2: 7 fixed and 4 skipped. The skips were 3 simplification advisories (owner) and a drainAllKeeps test, which falls under the uncovered-paths decision. Red Team found that pass 1's cache fix kept the gate at "yes" for a whole outage (200 host probes measured). It was fixed.
Pass 3: Red Team found 2 more cache failures: a quick click lost when the connection had dropped, and hung probes piling up. The owner chose to redesign the gate (no host in the gate). The redesign also took care of 3 other findings from the pass:
- the cache's tuple shape
- its untested default
- a simplification advisory on that same shape
Two more were fixed: a wrong "two seconds" quit comment, and the unnamed 15 s bound. Two were skipped:
- PortForwardingModel.host "has no reader": false; PortsSection reads it.
- The UUID-keyed wakefulness registry: deliberate.
After the cap (owner-approved, not re-reviewed beyond tests and negative controls):
- A read-only Red Team pass on the new gate found dotfiles excluded; fixed in 1908efc3.
- The adversarial step's findings below were fixed in 6ce0a1c9.

Adversarial Review

Claude adversarial: 7 findings.
- Fixed: stale or out-of-order click results, path errors stopping the probe.
- Filed: the forward trust boundary (Remote port forwards are reachable by every account on the Mac #323), silent remote keep failure (A failed remote "Keep awake" shows nothing #324), non-canonical root (Remote cmd-click fails for relative paths when the workroom root goes through a symlink #325).
- Accepted: per-host models are never evicted; this is bounded by the hosts touched per launch.
- The quit-path test falls under the uncovered-paths decision.
Codex structured review (codex review --base master): GATE: PASS, no P1.
```
[P2] Let the host resolve parent traversals through symlinks — TerminalLinkOpener.swift:307
[P2] Preserve Unicode filename bytes when resolving remote paths — TerminalLinkOpener.swift:307
```
Both were confirmed by a probe and fixed in 6ce0a1c9. The .. fix was wrong: the agent refuses .. outright, so every ../file click opened nothing. Greptile caught it on this PR, and 11631c6a resolves .. on the Mac again (a fixture test now sends one to the real agent).
Codex adversarial challenge: timed out after 9 minutes. This is missing coverage, not a clean result.

PR review

CodeRabbit: one comment over the 100-column limit; it and five more comment lines were rewrapped in a9d4f605.
Greptile: two P1s, both valid and fixed in 11631c6a: parent-path clicks opened nothing (see above), and an answer could open a preview after the pane that asked had closed. A third P1, the symlink-before-.. case, is valid but needs an agent change; deferred to Remote cmd-click on link/../file opens the file beside a symlink, not beside its target #327.

Exploratory QA

Functional smoke, run three times: once per review pass, and again on the current code paths. Each run was 2 probes inside the 5-minute budget, and every run passed.

Contract	Probe	Outcome
Ports forward from a remote host; cmd-click resolves on the host; busy/idle read from the host	3 `RemoteHostIntegrationTests` over real ssh to the fixture container	pass
The cmd-click gate	the gate tests (on the final run: path-shaped words only, never asks the host)	pass

Not run: a GUI probe. Remote workrooms sit behind the hidden preview setting and need a configured host. No screenshots: this environment can't show a remote workroom in the GUI.

Design Review

No frontend files changed (per the scope tool) — design review skipped. The visible changes are the Ports section and a sidebar badge on remote rows, both reusing existing components.

Eval Results

No prompt-related files changed — evals skipped.

Scope Drift

Scope Check: CLEAN. The work is #254's three remaining criteria, plus review fixes, docs and the #322 TODO.

Plan Completion

No plan file detected. Against #254's acceptance criteria:

Pane close: done in fix: closing a remote pane ends its session on the host (#283) #306.
Cmd-click on the host: done.
Ports from the host: done; closes Interchangeability services: port forwarding, terminal durability, wakefulness #208.
Sidebar busy/idle: done.

Verification Results

No plan-specific verification items. The acceptance checks are the Exploratory QA probes above, all passing.

TODOS

No TODO items completed in this PR. Added: a P0 for the CredentialRelay test that fails under load (#322).

Documentation

Status: current. No documentation edits were needed and there are no blockers.

Scope: base 1fb9aeef to head 6ce0a1c9 (14 files: TODOS.md, the remote-workrooms design doc, 6 macapp source files and 5 test files). Docs audited: README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, macapp/AGENTS.md, macapp/README.md, docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md, TODOS.md, plus a skim of website/, DESIGN.md, PRODUCT.md, docs/repository-notes.md and docs/agents/ for the changed topics. The "As built (#254)" section was checked against source: symbol names (wireRemoteLinks, hostCwd, remoteCandidates, looksLikeRemotePath, model(for:), model(forHost:), drainAllKeeps, the 15 s remoteKeepDrain, RemoteHosts.ensureConnected, file.rs read_file, serve.rs classifier) all exist and match.

Documentation health:

docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md: current (As built (Remote pane parity: pane close, cmd-click, forwarded ports and idle state #254) section and the two Done pointers match the code)
TODOS.md: current (P0 entry for CredentialRelayTests.testIdleStrangersDoNotBlockAKnownWorkroom fails under full-suite load #322 accurate; protected, not edited)
macapp/AGENTS.md: current, with a coverage gap (below)
macapp/README.md: current (nothing on remote pane behaviour)
README.md: current (remote-workroom lines concern the CLI, untouched by this diff)
CONTRIBUTING.md: current
AGENTS.md: current
website/: reviewed, no matching content

Coverage debt: macapp/AGENTS.md has no #254 pointer, unlike #230/#231/#232/#256, and nothing there covers per-host PortForwardingModel and WakefulnessModel, the remote cmd-click gate, or the rule never to route a remote path through URL. That last rule lives only in the design doc and in gstack learnings. Cmd-click, Ports and Idle state have reference coverage (design doc) only, with no how-to or tutorial. Not generated; /document-generate could fill these. Diagram drift: none, no diagrams in the audited docs name anything this diff changed. Minor: a pre-existing stale line reference in the design doc's historical C7 problem statement (TerminalLinkOpener.swift:27-31,202), left as-is.

Test plan

make app-test (full unit suite, final tree 6ce0a1c9): 3146 passed, 56 skipped (opt-in fixture and live tests), 1 failed. The failure is the pre-existing CredentialRelayTests.testIdleStrangersDoNotBlockAKnownWorkroom (Test crashed with signal pipe). This branch doesn't touch CredentialRelay, and the test passed 5 of 5 on its own. The owner chose a P0 TODO for it; see CredentialRelayTests.testIdleStrangersDoNotBlockAKnownWorkroom fails under full-suite load #322. Earlier full runs on this branch passed it.
vcs/scripts/ssh-fixture/run.sh <linux wr-agent> make app-test APP_TEST_FLAGS=-only-testing:WorkroomAppTests/RemoteHostIntegrationTests (real ssh into the container fixture, Linux agent built from current master): 18 of 18 passed.
make app-lint: clean.
make app-uitest: not run, by owner decision. No UI test refers to the Ports section or the wakefulness badge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Remote workroom panes now support ⌘-clicking file paths to open matching files in the workroom preview. URLs continue to open in the Mac browser.
- Port forwarding and wakefulness status now reflect the selected remote host, with remote wakefulness indicators shown when the host is reachable.
- The app waits for pending local and remote keep-awake requests to finish when quitting.
Bug Fixes
- Remote file links no longer resolve against files on the Mac; unavailable remote hosts are reported separately from unavailable local agents.

The Ports section reached only this Mac's agent: `PortForwardingModel` was one shared model on the `.local` host. It is now one model per host, kept for the launch, and the section shows the selected workroom's host. A remote workroom is its own host, so its ports are forwarded from there. A remote workroom the app can't reach shows no Ports section, rather than this Mac's. A forward still never connects a host. Selecting the workroom connects it, and connecting from `+` could start a container the user stopped. Closes the last criterion of #208. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…idebar (#254) A remote workroom is its own box, so its wakefulness verdict is its own. Its sidebar row now carries the inspector's wakefulness badge, backed by one `WakefulnessModel` per remote host. The badge polls only while the row is on screen and never connects the host: a disconnected host shows nothing. A remote agent was never started with this Mac's wakefulness settings, so a remote badge's tooltip leaves out the settings-mismatch sentence. The Linux agent always runs the classifier, so no agent or host-setup change is needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A cmd-clicked path in a remote pane was resolved against the pane's directory on THIS Mac, so it opened nothing, or another file at the same path. It now resolves on the host: against the shell's directory there, as the host's agent reports it (`hostCwd`), and through the host's file service. The file opens in the in-app viewer, since no editor on this Mac can open a file on another machine. `TerminalLinkOpener.remoteCandidates` turns the link into workroom-relative candidates, keeping the local parsing (the `:line[:col]` and trailing-dot forms) and dropping what the host's file service can't read: paths outside the workroom, and `~`, which is this Mac's home. Each candidate is probed with a one-byte read, which the agent answers from the file's size without sending it. The cmd-hover cursor is answered from a cache that the first hover over a word fills. Web URLs still open in this Mac's browser. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…asked (#254) `GhosttySurfaceView.mouseDown` passes a cmd-click on only when the synchronous `resolveCmdHoverFile` says the word is a file. In a remote pane that answer is a round trip to the host, and the hover cache answered "no" until it came back. Every click made straight after pressing cmd was lost, and a "no" stood until 256 other words had been hovered. A word that could name a file in the workroom now passes while its probe is out, and the click asks the host itself. An answer stands for 3 s. URLs and paths outside the workroom are never candidates, so they still reach libghostty. Also from review: - Slashes are collapsed before the containment check. A root with a trailing slash, or a link with `//`, resolved to a path the host reads as absolute, so it opened nothing. - A remote link that opens nothing is logged, as a local one is. - A transport failure stops the probe instead of trying the next candidate.

From the ship review (specialists and red team): - A remote host's "Keep awake" connects the host first, as this Mac's spawns an agent. Before, a click while the connection was down failed silently and the box could sleep under a running job. - Quitting drains every host's in-flight keep, not only this Mac's. - A cmd-hover probe never connects the host; only the click's does. - A probe that gets no answer (no connection, or the agent busy past its concurrent-read cap) is no longer cached as "no file". - WakefulnessModel's doc comment no longer says there is one instance. - The hover cache limit is a named constant; a redundant alias is gone. Tests: the click-gate test no longer races a 200 ms TTL, and it now fails if the host's "yes" never arrives. New tests cover the hover/click connect split, the remote keep connecting first, the probe's no-answer case, a URL link and the pane's host cwd reaching a click. The two host-file fakes are now one.

…ck (#254) From the second review pass: - The first pass stopped caching an unanswered hover probe. With hover no longer connecting the host, that kept the cmd-click gate at "yes" for a whole outage, so every cmd-click on any word was consumed and the host was probed on every pointer move (measured: 200 probes). An unanswered probe is now held as "no" for 0.5 s, then the host is asked again. - A remote keep may have to reconnect over ssh first, so quitting waits up to 15 s for it, not this Mac's 6 s. The doc says a slower keep can still miss the quit. - The hover cache's doc comment sits on the cache again; the design doc's idle-state item is marked done and its paragraph is re-wrapped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…254) The gate on a remote cmd-click (`resolveCmdHoverFile`, read synchronously by `GhosttySurfaceView.mouseDown`) was answered from a cache of the host's replies. Each of three review passes found a new failure in that cache: a click made straight after pressing cmd was lost, every click was taken during an outage, and probes against a dead link piled up while the gate held "yes". The gate now decides from the word alone: a candidate in the workroom with a `/`, a `name.ext` or a `:line` passes, and only the click asks the host, connecting it if it must. A hover makes no request at all. The cache, its TTLs and the hover/click connect split are gone. The costs, which the owner accepted: a path-shaped word with no file behind it shows the hand and its click opens nothing (logged), and a dotless bare name like `Gemfile` is not clickable in a remote pane. Also from the third pass: the quit comment no longer says "two seconds", and the remote keep drain's 15 s is a named constant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The gate's name.ext rule needed a character before the dot, so .gitignore, .env and .envrc were never clickable in a remote pane. A leading dot now counts. Found by a read-only review after the review cap; the owner approved the fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…olve `..`, drops stale clicks (#254) From the final adversarial reviews (Claude, and Codex's structured review), fixed past the review cap with the owner's approval: - Remote paths were normalised through `URL.standardized`, which decomposes Unicode filenames (`é` C3 A9 became `e` + U+0301), so a Linux host never found them. Paths are now split into components and sent byte for byte. - `link/../file.rb` was resolved on the Mac, naming a different file when `link` is a symlink. Containment is still judged on the lexical path, but the host is sent the path with its `..` and resolves it itself. - Each remote click started an unstructured task, so a slow answer could retarget the preview after a faster click, or reopen a tab in a workroom whose panes had all closed. A newer click now cancels the one before it, and an answer for a workroom with no panes opens nothing. - An error reading one path (too long, unreadable) stopped the probe before `file.rb` was tried from `file.rb:12`. Only a transport failure stops it. Documented and deferred by the owner: remote forwards reachable by every account on the Mac (#323), a failed remote keep shows nothing (#324), relative clicks where the root goes through a symlink (#325).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add remote terminal file-link resolution and host-specific port forwarding and wakefulness. They also update the related design notes and tests, and add a TODO to investigate an intermittent full-suite connection reset.

Changes

Remote Terminal File Links

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remote path candidates and click handling `docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/Core/TerminalLinkOpener.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/Core/TerminalSessions.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/TerminalLinkOpenerTests.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/TerminalSessionsTests.swift`	Remote-pane clicks build workroom-relative candidates and probe files through the host service. Matching files open in the workroom preview. Tests cover candidate rules, probe errors, hover behavior, click cancellation, and preview handling.

Host-Scoped Ports and Wakefulness

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Host-specific port forwarding `docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/Core/AgentPortForwarding.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/AgentPortForwardingTests.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/RemoteHostIntegrationTests.swift`	Port forwarding models are cached by host and use host-specific forwarding services and leases. Tests cover remote-host errors and forwarding a remote port.
Per-host wakefulness and keep requests `docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/Core/AgentWakefulness.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/WorkroomApp.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/AgentWakefulnessTests.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomAppTests/RemoteHostIntegrationTests.swift`	Remote wakefulness models read host status and connect before keep requests. Application shutdown drains pending keeps across local and remote models. Tests cover connection behavior and remote status.
Host-specific panel and sidebar state `macapp/WorkroomApp/Views/ChangesPanel.swift`, `macapp/WorkroomApp/Views/ProjectSidebar.swift`	The Changes panel selects port models by workroom host. Wakefulness badges use host-specific models and local or remote help text.

Intermittent Test Failure Note

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Full-suite connection reset investigation `TODOS.md`	A P0 TODO records an intermittent `ECONNRESET` in a full-suite test run and lists investigation steps.

[Medium risk] Remote workroom features: link opening, port forwarding, and idle status.

The PR does not appear safe to merge while a remote cmd-click can open a different file from the one its path names.

Symlink paths select wrong files ▶

Fix with agent prompt

### Issue 1
macapp/WorkroomApp/Core/TerminalLinkOpener.swift:310-315
If `link` is a symlink to `nested/dir` inside the workroom, clicking `link/../file.rb` should open `nested/file.rb`. This code removes `link/..` before asking the host and instead probes `file.rb` at the workroom root. The preview can therefore open a different file, or open nothing when the intended file exists. The agent rejects paths containing `..`, so sending the original path to it would not resolve the problem.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

The PR adds host-specific Ports and wakefulness models and routes remote-pane file links through the host’s file service. The latest changes fix parent-path requests rejected by the agent and prevent results from closed panes opening previews; lexical parent-path resolution can still select the wrong file when a symlink precedes ...

…s click (#254) From Greptile's review of #326: - 6ce0a1c sent `..` to the host so it could resolve symlinks, but the agent refuses any path with a `.` or `..` component before opening anything (`vcs::relative`). Every `../file` click in a remote pane opened nothing. `..` is resolved on the Mac again, lexically, keeping the byte-preserving component split. The symlink-before-`..` case is a documented limit. A fixture test now sends a parent traversal to the real agent. - A remote click's answer was dropped only when the whole workroom had no panes. It is now dropped when the pane that asked has closed, even with other panes open. Tab IDs are never reused, so a reopened workroom can't revive it.
