On an SSH environment, a preview of http://localhost:5173 loads the desktop's own port 5173, so the agent's dev server on the remote host is unreachable. browserTargetResolver only rewrites hosts that are directly reachable on a private network, and an SSH environment's server URL is a local forward that says nothing about where the port lives.

This rebuilds #4039 on the V2 base, as asked in the closing comment, and folds in the lifecycle fixes from #7639 and the bot findings on #4039. Discussion: #14109.

How it works

The desktop opens a loopback-only ssh -N -L 127.0.0.1:<local>:localhost:<remote> per (SSH target, remote port), shared across leases and torn down when the last lease is released, the environment disconnects, or the manager scope closes. The local port is the remote port when it is free (ports ≥ 1024), so the tab, URL bar, history and OAuth redirect URIs see localhost:5173. Otherwise it falls back to an ephemeral port.

Readiness waits for debug1: Entering interactive session. on the child's stderr. OpenSSH prints "Local forwarding listening" before bind() (channels.c), so that line from #7639 would accept a foreign listener. "Entering interactive session" comes from client_loop(), after every forward is bound under ExitOnForwardFailure=yes. Child exit fails the acquire at once with ssh's stderr; a timeout reports the last eight lines of a 16 KiB stderr tail.

On the web side, sshPreviewForwards.ts acquires a lease when a loopback URL on an SSH environment is opened or navigated: preview open, links, terminal links, URL submit, and agent preview automation. Each preview tab holds one lease. Navigation tokens stop a superseded navigation from loading or committing. previewStateStore releases the lease for every tab that leaves a thread's sessions, whichever path removed it. The desktop tab's own lifetime is the wrong owner: it unmounts and reopens on the same forwarded URL. Recents store the remote URL. Refresh on an SSH tab re-acquires, which recovers a forward lost to a disconnect. Mobile and browser-only web have no desktop bridge and get a "requires the desktop app" error.

PreviewUrlResolution.resolutionKind gains ssh-forward. For that kind, resolvedUrl is still the remote loopback URL, and call sites acquire before loading it.

Verification

  • node_modules/.bin/vp test run packages/ssh/src apps/desktop/src/ipc apps/desktop/src/ssh: 119 passed. Covers ref-counting, idempotent release, concurrent acquire/release, disconnect and scope close with a creation in flight, preferred-port fallback including a probe-to-bind race, readiness with a held-open stderr, and timeout diagnostics on TestClock.
  • cd apps/web && ../../node_modules/.bin/vp test run src/browser src/previewStateStore.test.ts src/components/preview: 382 passed. Covers overlapping navigations, tab close during acquire, release on tab removal, per-environment port mapping after release, and recents keeping remote URLs.
  • vp run typecheck in web, desktop, ssh, contracts, client-runtime: clean.
  • vp pack in apps/desktop: dist-electron/preload.cjs has no runtime require of effect or @t3tools/contracts.

Not checked: I have not run this against a real SSH host in the desktop app, so there is no end-to-end evidence or screenshot yet. The preview UI itself is unchanged.

Known limits

  • A forward whose ssh child dies is replaced on the next acquire, not proactively; refresh triggers that.
  • A probe-to-bind race on the preferred port can cost one extra ssh spawn, and a password prompt if keys need one.
  • A fallback-port mapping outlives its lease, so after release a URL naming that local port maps back to the old remote port.
  • The server picker still filters configured URLs with isLoopbackHost, so 127.0.0.2 URLs navigate but are not listed.

🟡 Medium browser/openFileInPreview.ts:78

When acquirePreviewForward rejects, openUrlInPreview returns an SshPreviewForwardError that useOpenLink treats as a generic failure, so http://localhost:<remote-port> is opened via shell.openExternal(url) against the local machine instead of reporting the failed remote forward. Handle SshPreviewForwardError before the external-browser fallback so the forwarding failure is surfaced.

Not changing this. The token check runs right before input.navigate with no await in between, so navigations are dispatched in token order. If A resolves before B is dispatched, A's page really is loaded at that moment and its lease must be committed. When B commits later, commit releases A's lease. If B committed first, commit sees token <= state.committed and releases A's lease. Returning null for A would make callers report a failure for a page that did load.

🟡 Medium browser/sshPreviewForwards.ts:130

Reopening a saved localhost:53001 URL can load the wrong remote service after that local port is reused: ports.set(forward.localPort, remotePort) overwrites the retained 53001 → 5173 mapping with 53001 → 4000. Preserve old URL mappings by preventing local-port reuse for active history mappings or by using a mapping scheme that disambiguates reused ports.

The scenario depends on a saved localhost:53001 URL, but saved URLs are stored remote. previewStateStore.withRemoteRecentUrls maps recents through toRemotePreviewUrl when they are recorded, so recents hold localhost:5173 while the mapping is current. The forward also binds the remote port locally when it is free, which makes the mapping the identity in the common case. What's left is an unmapped fallback port reaching the app from outside recents after reuse. The PR lists it under Known limits.

🟡 Medium preview/PreviewAutomationHosts.tsx:481

When the tab is closed before the asynchronous open response is handled, beginPreviewSessionClose has already called releaseTabForward before any lease exists, but line 481 then calls settleOpenedForward and installs the forward for the removed tab. Because no later removal releases that lease, the SSH forward remains leased indefinitely. settleOpenedForward needs to handle this late response by verifying the tab is still active or releasing the forward instead of registering it.

Fixed in df5afd4. Every open path now goes through settleOpenedPreviewForward in previewStateStore. It attaches the forward only if the tab is still in the thread's sessions and releases it otherwise. A close during the open suppresses the snapshot, so the late response releases. Test added in previewStateStore.test.ts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds leased SSH port forwarding to the desktop bridge and SSH manager. Web preview flows use these forwards to open and navigate loopback services in SSH environments, track leases by tab, and release leases when navigation or tab state changes.

Changes

SSH-backed browser previews

Layer / File(s) Summary
SSH forward manager and lifecycle
packages/ssh/src/tunnel.ts, packages/ssh/src/portForward.test.ts, packages/ssh/src/tunnel.test.ts
The SSH manager acquires and shares port forwards through leases, checks forward readiness, and closes forwards on release, disconnect, or shutdown. Tests cover reuse, port selection, failures, and cancellation.
Port-forward IPC bridge
packages/contracts/src/ipc.ts, apps/desktop/src/ssh/DesktopSshEnvironment.ts, apps/desktop/src/ipc/*, apps/desktop/src/preload.ts
The contracts and desktop bridge expose port-forward acquisition and release. The service delegates to the SSH manager, and the IPC method returns the existing cancellation result for password-prompt cancellation.
Web forward mapping and lease lifecycle
apps/web/src/browser/sshPreviewForwards.ts, apps/web/src/browser/sshPreviewForwards.test.ts, apps/web/src/previewStateStore.ts, apps/web/src/previewStateStore.test.ts
The web layer rewrites eligible SSH loopback URLs and tracks forwards across tab navigation and removal. Preview state maps forwarded URLs back to remote URLs and releases leases for removed tabs.
Preview resolution and opening
packages/contracts/src/previewAutomation.ts, apps/web/src/browser/browserTargetResolver.ts, apps/web/src/browser/openFileInPreview.ts, apps/web/src/components/preview/openPreviewSession.ts, apps/web/src/components/preview/openTerminalLinkInPreview.ts, apps/web/src/browser/useOpenLink.ts, apps/web/src/components/preview/addBrowserSurface.ts, apps/web/src/components/preview/openDiscoveredPort.ts
SSH environment ports receive the ssh-forward resolution kind. Preview-opening paths acquire a forward before opening a tab, settle it against the tab, and report forwarding errors.
Preview navigation and refresh
apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewAutomationHosts.tsx, apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewView.tsx
Automation navigation and existing-tab navigation use the forwarding helper. Refresh in SSH environments maps the current URL back to its remote URL and navigates through a forward.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6002c

SSH previews may fail for services bound only to noncanonical loopback addresses such as 127.0.0.2; ordinary localhost forwarding is unaffected. This is a bounded limitation, so merge risk is low.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6002c

Forwarding is restricted to the user's machine, but preview requests can lose their intended remote destination after a tunnel stops or when localhost selects an address the tunnel does not own. Exploitation would require a competing local listener; this is not an Internet-facing exposure.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: An issued preview URL can outlive its SSH listener. The child-exit monitor logs and fails internally without revoking published leases or stopping the existing preview from requesting its local URL. After tunnel loss, a local process able to bind the released port could receive subsequent HTTP requests intended for the remote service or serve replacement content. A later acquisition detects the dead child, and explicit refresh reacquires, but neither protects background requests from an already-loaded page. This newly affects remote-service sessions enabled by the PR; general localhost listener spoofing predates it.
  • Medium · security · inferred: The preview publishes localhost while SSH binds only 127.0.0.1. Checking both loopback families before selecting a preferred port avoids an existing IPv6 listener, but does not reserve or own ::1 during the lease. A local process can bind ::1 on that port without colliding with the IPv4 forward. On systems where the browser selects IPv6, HTTP preview traffic can reach that process while SSH remains healthy. ExitOnForwardFailure and the IPv4 readiness probe do not enforce ownership of this alternative destination.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The concerns affect remote-service previews using the desktop's local forwarded URLs. A competing local process needs permission to bind the relevant unprivileged loopback port. For HTTP previews, resulting exposure includes request data and content integrity; HTTPS impact additionally depends on certificate validation. The inspected listeners do not create direct Internet or LAN exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Two local destination-substitution paths remain: bind the released IPv4 port after the SSH child exits while an existing preview retains its URL, or bind the unowned IPv6 loopback address while the IPv4 forward remains live. Both exploit the browser URL's weaker destination identity relative to the authenticated SSH connection. Neither path was reproduced during this review.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The privileged transition is from a renderer-requested environment port to an authenticated SSH connection and local listener. IPC validates payload schemas, the manager repeats port validation and resolves connection identity, and SSH binds explicitly to IPv4 loopback with ExitOnForwardFailure. The inspected acquire handler does not independently authorize the sender; complete guest-to-IPC reachability was not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A subsequent acquisition removes a dead forward before creating a replacement, and explicit SSH-preview refresh routes through acquisition again. The replacement test checks new-acquisition recovery, not traffic from an existing page between child death and recovery.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make published endpoint ownership a lifetime invariant: propagate forward loss to affected previews and prevent further requests until an owned replacement is ready. Ensure every address usable by the published localhost URL is owned by the forward, or constrain preview routing to the owned address while preserving intended origin semantics.

Loopback URLs on an SSH environment resolve as ssh-forward and are
forwarded through the desktop at navigation. Each preview tab holds one
lease; the preview state store releases it when the tab leaves the
thread's sessions.
Covers preview open, link and terminal-link opens, URL submit, and
automation open/navigate.
Map forwarded local ports back to remote ports per environment so recents
and re-navigation name the remote port after the lease is gone. Refresh
on an SSH tab re-navigates through a fresh forward, recovering after a
disconnect. Forward failures are typed SshPreviewForwardError.
Keep sandboxed preload imports self-contained. Retry preferred-port collisions from occupancy instead of localized stderr. Restore interruption during remote stop while protecting local teardown. Explicit IPv4 runner binding matches its reserved port and advertised base URL; preview destination is configured separately.
Refresh failures on an SSH tab show a toast. Any 127.x loopback URL is
forwarded to the remote machine. Forward errors are narrowed with a
schema guard, and the desktop acquire handler uses catchIf.
A failed forward from a link or terminal link shows a toast instead of
opening the local port externally. A forward for a tab closed while its
open was in flight is released instead of attached.
The tab loads localhost, which can resolve to a local ::1 server on the
same port before the 127.0.0.1 forward.

Superseded by #15328: preview tabs now run in a headless Chrome on the environment server and stream to the desktop for every non-primary environment, so on an SSH environment localhost already reaches the remote host. No forward needed. Closing.
