Closes #1994 — Linear id pending import

What & why

Three setup-wizard fixes. Success messages (sign-in "Connected to …", harnesses "can now find kcap") render as a plain check row instead of a bordered banner inside a card. The harnesses PATH note now says only what will happen on this machine — the writable PATH folder, /usr/local/bin with the admin prompt, or ~/.local/bin plus the ~/.zprofile line — with paths in mono. onboardingCompact no longer sets the mono font, so Retry matches the other CTAs. On the done step, the add-agent + lines up with the text column, the background service status is a dot and label like the agent rows, and kcap import is set in mono. Onboarding status labels (onboardingSignal, the history "from" list, BUNDLED) use the body font; mono stays on paths and commands.

Where to look

PathShimInstaller.DescribeAsync mirrors InstallAsync's folder choice without creating anything, including the outcomes it refuses (a conflicting link, a shell with no editable profile); writability uses access(W_OK) via a new libc import. ICliPathInstaller.DescribeAsync has a default falling back to Disclosure, so the CLI and the startup dialog keep their text.

Verification

  • Capacitor.App.Tests.Unit: 4722 passed, 0 failed
  • Capacitor.Cli.Core.Tests.Unit: 5324 passed, 0 failed (new tests cover each DescribeAsync outcome)
  • dotnet publish -c Release: no IL2xxx/IL3xxx warnings

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • PATH setup guidance now identifies the planned installation location and relevant steps, including when administrator approval or a shell profile update may be needed. It also clarifies when an existing link will be left unchanged or PATH cannot be configured.
    • Setup guidance and import instructions visually distinguish commands and paths from explanatory text.
  • Style
    • Updated onboarding status displays, bundled-tool labels, and compact buttons for a clearer, more consistent layout.
    • Service status now uses a progress indicator while installing and a state-colored indicator when installation is complete.

The PATH note dry-runs the installer's own folder choice, so it never names a folder the install would skip.

Walkthrough

PATH installers now describe the destination or fallback for the current setup. Onboarding displays those descriptions and the import hint as formatted spans. Success-state layouts and onboarding typography have also changed.

Changes: Onboarding PATH disclosure and presentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Describe the PATH setup
src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/*, test/Capacitor.Cli.Core.Tests.Unit/PathShimInstallerTests.cs
Installers return disclosure spans for the selected PATH destination or fallback. Tests cover PATH and profile descriptions and verify that describing options does not create files or links.
Load and render the disclosure plan
src/Capacitor.App/ViewModels/Onboarding/*, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/OnboardingSpans.cs, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/HarnessesPaneView.axaml, test/Capacitor.App.Tests.Unit/WizardSimpleStepsTests.cs
The view model loads disclosure spans asynchronously and exposes the plan as PathNote. The view renders the spans, with code spans using the onboarding monospace font when available.
Update onboarding status layouts and buttons
src/Capacitor.App/ViewModels/Onboarding/DoneStepViewModel.cs, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/DonePaneView.axaml, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/OnboardingStyles.axaml, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/HarnessesPaneView.axaml, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/SignInPaneView.axaml, src/Capacitor.App/Views/Onboarding/HistoryPaneView.axaml, test/Capacitor.App.Tests.Unit/DoneStepViewModelTests.cs
The Done page renders ImportHint as spans and displays service status without the previous pill. Resolved PATH, sign-in, and tenant-picker states use horizontal stacks. Onboarding typography and compact button styling are updated.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 67baa

Some uncommon PATH setups may show misleading instructions or leave users needing manual recovery, but the impact is localized and recoverable.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 67baa

The new descriptions remain informational. Installation still independently checks conflicts, verifies command resolution, and requests administrator authorization where required. No material security risk introduced or worsened by this change was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The reviewed change operates within the desktop user's local setup environment. Existing installation can affect stable command folders, the user's shell profile, or /usr/local/bin through administrator authorization; the added description API does not gain those mutation privileges.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new description call can execute the configured login shell and its startup files while probing PATH. However, production onboarding already probes KcapOnPathAsync through the same shell mechanism before deciding whether to construct PathFixViewModel. This adds a probe, not a newly established shell trust boundary.
  • observed — Installation continues to reject CR/LF target data, treat foreign or unresolved filesystem entries as conflicts, and use non-forcing link creation. A stale description does not authorize overwriting a conflicting entry or bypass the administrator prompt.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Recovery remains non-transactional as before: normal failed PATH-verification attempts try to remove newly created candidate links, while profile-update failure can leave the CLI linked and return a failure detail. The description path adds no installer-owned persistent state requiring rollback.

Explanation

Issue #1994 has three coding requirements. SignInPaneView.axaml removes the nested resolved banner from the sign-in success row. PathFixViewModel, PathShimInstaller.DescribeAsync, and HarnessesPaneView.axaml provide and render only the applicable PATH outcome, with code spans for paths and commands. OnboardingStyles.axaml removes the monospace font from Button.onboardingCompact. The PR adds focused DescribeAsync tests and reports passing unit tests.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Share a destination planner with installation
  • ➕ Reduces the risk of description and installation rules drifting apart.
  • ➖ Requires a broader installer refactor; a dry run still cannot predict whether linking or verification will succeed.

Recommendation: The read-only description is appropriate for this focused onboarding fix: it avoids filesystem changes and preserves existing disclosures elsewhere. A shared planner is worth considering if destination-selection rules grow, but is not necessary for this PR.

1. Unsupported shells get a false prompt note ✓ Resolved
Description
DescribeAsync selects the profile route only when profile.Disclosure is non-null, then otherwise
says macOS will ask for an admin password. For a non-admin user whose shell has no editable profile,
InstallAsync instead enters the profile route and fails without showing that prompt.

2. The PATH note names a link that cannot run ✗ Dismissed
Description
WritableFolderOnTerminalPathAsync accepts an already-installed link without checking whether the

fails, InstallAsync skips that candidate and may use a different location, while the note still
names the existing link's folder.

3. PATH note promises an install that will fail ✓ Resolved
Description
DescribeAsync selects a destination and describes the link or admin-password prompt without
running the Preflight(destination, target) check that InstallAsync performs. When that
destination contains a conflicting file or link, installation returns Failed and leaves it
untouched, so the note can promise a link or, for an admin user, a password prompt that never
occurs.
Code

WindowsUserPathInstaller.DescribeAsync always says it adds the CLI directory when it can derive

7. New path tests manually own temp folders 📘 Rule violation ▣ Testability
Description
PathShimInstallerTests creates TempDir with using var inside each newly added test instead of
exposing the framework-injected public required [TempDir] property. These methods therefore bypass

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The checklist requires test classes that use temporary directories to receive them through a public
required [TempDir] property rather than manually creating TempDir instances. All three newly
added tests manually create a TempDir with using var and use it to construct their temporary
paths.

Rule 2808173: Use injected [TempDir] public required property in test classes instead of manual fields
test/Capacitor.Cli.Core.Tests.Unit/PathShimInstallerTests.cs[603-648]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The newly added path installer tests manually create and dispose `TempDir` instances instead of using the required framework-injected property for test classes.

## Fix Focus Areas
- test/Capacitor.Cli.Core.Tests.Unit/PathShimInstallerTests.cs[603-648]

## Recommended Fix
Add a single public required property annotated with `[TempDir]` to `PathShimInstallerTests`, remove the local `new TempDir()` and `using var tmp` declarations from the added tests, and use the injected property for all temporary paths without manually disposing it.

3. Windows users see a path change that is skipped 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

WindowsUserPathInstaller.DescribeAsync always says it adds the CLI directory when it can derive
one. If that directory is already in the user PATH but the login shell still cannot find kcap,
InstallAsync skips the PATH write, so the onboarding note describes a change that does not occur.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The Windows note promises a PATH append even when installation sees the directory already present and skips it.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/WindowsUserPathInstaller.cs[10-13]
- src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/WindowsUserPathInstaller.cs[20-28]
## Recommended Fix
Read the user PATH in `DescribeAsync` and give an already-present description when `Contains` is true; reserve the append wording for the branch that writes.

Fixed in 8797af3: the Windows note now says it puts the folder on the user PATH, which holds whether or not the entry is already there.

Remediation recommended

5. A newline path gets a false mac setup note 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

PathShimInstaller.DescribeAsync starts selecting an installation folder without applying
LooksLikeTarget to the CLI path. If that path contains a newline or carriage return,
InstallAsync fails before trying any folder, while the note still promises a link or admin prompt.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The Mac dry run advertises an installation route for a target that installation rejects immediately.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/PathShimInstaller.cs[36-43]
- src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/PathShimInstaller.cs[78-81]
## Recommended Fix
Apply `LooksLikeTarget` before choosing a folder in `DescribeAsync`, and describe the unsupported target without promising an installation.

Not reachable: the target is the app's own bundled CLI path, which never contains a newline. InstallAsync's LooksLikeTarget check stays as the guard.

- Around line 40-42: Update the fallback messaging around LinkedInto and
ShellProfile.Tilde to check whether ~/.local/bin/kcap conflicts with another
install before claiming it will be linked or added to PATH. When
LinkThroughProfileAsync would return Failed at its conflict preflight, show the
conflict outcome instead of the success description.
- Line 58: Update the ShimPreflight.AlreadyInstalled branch in
TryLinkOnTerminalPathAsync to verify that the existing link resolves to the
intended kcap before returning dir. If it does not, continue to the next
destination or fallback so the reported destination matches the one the
installer will use.

Review comments at @src/Capacitor.Cli.Core/Setup/WindowsUserPathInstaller.cs:
- Around line 11-13: Update the description logic in WindowsUserPathInstaller
that uses CliDirectory so it applies the same directory validation as
InstallAsync before showing the success text. For a directory containing a
semicolon, return the fallback Disclosure instead of claiming it will be added
to the user PATH.
