Summary

On Linux the desktop bootstrap window ran none of its JavaScript. The page rendered, the phase
checklist stayed empty, the headline stayed on the markup default, and no terminal state was ever
reached — so the one surface whose job is to report a failed start could not report anything.
Closes #5416.

The cause is not the asset and not the MIME type. The webview is not served the policy in
tauri.conf.json: the shell appends its own hashes and nonces to script-src before serving the
page. Once a hash or a nonce appears in that directive, any inline allowance is inert, so every
script has to be named individually. The shell's own nonce injector matches script[src^='http']
only, and this page loaded its script by relative path, so it was never named. Where the asset
origin does not satisfy 'self' — Linux, measured — the script is refused and the page is a
static picture.

The page and its script now ship as one file. An inline script carrying the nonce token is named
by the same mechanism that names the shell's own scripts, so the surface runs with the policy
intact rather than by weakening it. desktop/ui/main.js is gone; its contents are unchanged
inside index.html, and the comment above it records why the file may not come back.

Verification

  • Local checks: NOT RUN. No repository test, typecheck, build or install was run; verification
    is static review plus hosted CI at the exact head.
  • Measured on a real GNOME/X11 session, building and installing the Debian package from this
    branch each time:
    • the asset itself was never the problem: a probe that fetched it from the page saw
      status=200, content-type: text/javascript, 5941 bytes;
    • with the configured policy removed the page ran and the checklist rendered, which is what
      first placed the cause in the policy rather than the asset;
    • naming the asset-protocol scheme and host in script-src changed nothing, and adding
      'unsafe-inline' changed nothing either — the signal that a hash or nonce was already present
      and making inline allowances inert;
    • an inline script carrying the nonce token did run, while the external script carrying the
      same token still did not, which is what makes inlining the fix rather than a workaround;
    • with this branch installed, the surface renders all six phase rows with the policy unchanged.
  • Read out of the pinned shell dependency rather than inferred: the injector's selector is
    script[src^='http'], and the nonce replacement scans the asset for the token, substitutes a
    fresh value, and adds 'nonce-…' plus 'self' to the directive.
  • The source oracle in tests/clients/desktop-startup-surface.test.ts now reads the single page
    and asserts both that no second script file is referenced and that the inline script carries the
    token. It fails against the previous revision, where the reference existed and the token did not.

A separate observation, not fixed here: with the surface alive, the checklist renders but stays
pending — the shell publishes no progress snapshot on this platform. That is a shell-side gap and
it is now visible precisely because the page runs.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The desktop bootstrap page now embeds its startup script with the Tauri nonce token. It retains startup progress, timeout, failure, retry, and diagnostic-copy behavior. Tests now inspect index.html and verify the nonce-bearing inline script.

Changes

Desktop startup surface

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inline startup logic
desktop/ui/index.html, desktop/ui/main.js
index.html replaces the external ./main.js reference with an inline script using __TAURI_SCRIPT_NONCE__. The script accesses the Tauri bridge, applies a 5-second deadline, renders startup phases, reports failures, supports retry, and copies diagnostics with a clipboard fallback. desktop/ui/main.js is removed.
Startup surface regression test
tests/clients/desktop-startup-surface.test.ts
The test now treats desktop/ui/index.html as the page source. It verifies that the page has no ./main.js reference and contains the required nonce-bearing script tag.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1a106

A future change could restore the Linux static-bootstrap failure without this test detecting it. Assert that the page contains no external script reference before merging.

Reject external script references.

The current assertion rejects only ./main.js. An external script with another src value can pass this check. If it also carries the expected nonce, it can satisfy the remaining assertion while recreating the Linux CSP failure. Assert that no <script> element has a src attribute.

Proposed fix
-    expect(markup).not.toContain("./main.js");
+    expect(markup).not.toMatch(/<script\b[^>]*\bsrc\s*=/i);

리뷰 · 우선순위 58 / 80

리눅스에서 데스크톱 앱이 켜질 때 뜨는 시작 창은, 화면은 그려지는데 그 안의 프로그램은 한 줄도 실행되지 않았다. 제목은 처음부터 적혀 있는 "Starting OpenCodex…"에 그대로 있고, 단계 목록은 비어 있고, 시작이 실패해도 이유를 보여 주지 못했다. 잘못을 알려 주려고 만든 창이 아무 말도 못 하는 상태였다.

파일은 원인이 아니다. 스크립트 파일은 정상으로 내려왔다. 웹뷰가 실제로 쓰는 규칙은 tauri.conf.json에 적힌 문장 그대로가 아니다. 고정된 Tauri 2.11.6은 script-src에 자기 허가 표를 덧붙이고, 허가 표가 있으면 "안에 적은 스크립트는 그냥 허용"은 꺼진다. 이름이 올라간 스크립트만 실행된다. 그 이름 붙이기가 고르는 것은 주소가 http로 시작하는 스크립트뿐이다 (script[src^='http']). 이 창은 ./main.js처럼 상대 경로로 불러서 명단에 없었고, 리눅스에서는 그 출처가 'self'로도 통과하지 않아 거절됐다. 'unsafe-inline'을 더해도 소용이 없는 이유가 이것이다.

이 PR은 desktop/ui/main.js를 지우고, 그 내용을 desktop/ui/index.html 안에 그대로 넣었다. 스크립트 태그에는 Tauri가 파일 전체에서 찾아 바꾸는 표식 __TAURI_SCRIPT_NONCE__가 붙어 있다. 셸은 그 글자마다 새 숫자를 넣고, 그 숫자를 'nonce-…'로 script-src에 올린다. 설정에 적은 보안 규칙을 풀지 않는다. 창이 하는 일(단계 표시, 5초 안에 답이 없으면 실패로 적기, 다시 시도, 진단 복사)은 이전 파일과 같다.

tests/clients/desktop-startup-surface.test.ts:230 - 다시 막아야 하는 것은 "스크립트를 다른 파일에서 불러오는 것"인데, 검사는 ./main.js라는 글자가 없는지만 본다. src="./boot.js"처럼 이름만 바꿔 밖으로 빼면, 리눅스에서 창이 다시 죽은 그림이 되어도 이 테스트는 통과한다. 바로 아래 줄의 허가 표 검사는, 표식 뒤에 바로 >가 오는 인라인 스크립트가 있는지만 본다. script 태그에 src가 하나도 없어야 이 고장이 다시 들어오지 않는다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

이슈 #5416이 원한 끝은 단계가 진행되어 준비 또는 실패로 끝나는 것이다. 이슈 본문에서는 보안 규칙을 빼면 체크리스트가 실제로 움직였다. 이 PR 본문은, 창이 살아난 뒤에도 여섯 줄이 그려지기만 하고 계속 대기이며, 셸이 진행 소식을 이 플랫폼에 보내지 않는다고 적는다. 두 기록이 다르다. 설치본에서 단계가 끝까지 가는지 보기 전에는 Closes #5416로 이슈를 닫지 않는 편이 맞다. 스크립트가 실행되게만 고친 것이면 이슈는 열어 둔다.

확인 시점에 최신 CI는 아직 끝나지 않았다. 빨간 ci 집계는 코드 테스트 실패가 아니라, 요청된 macos 작업이 cancelled로 보고된 이전 실행이다.

너의 추천

외부 스크립트를 거절하도록 테스트만 좁힌 뒤 머지해도 된다. 보안 규칙을 느슨하게 풀 필요는 없다. 체크리스트가 대기에서 멈추면 이 PR에 끼우지 말고, #5416을 연 채로 셸이 진행 소식을 보내는지 따로 보면 된다. 최신 CI가 초록이 된 뒤에 넣으면 된다.
