…mote agents (#7989) An agent launched inside a persistent-SSH workspace without relayed hooks leaves no resume binding, so a restore reattaches the PTY but never resumes the agent once the PTY is genuinely gone. Requiring `cmux hooks setup` on every remote host for every agent CLI is a real adoption cliff for multi-host users. This adds the Tier-1 flavor sketched in the issue discussion: when the snapshot still knows the agent kind and remote working directory, synthesize a directory-scoped continue binding from cmux's own inline templates (claude -> `claude --continue || claude`, codex -> `codex resume --last || codex`; kinds with no trustworthy sessionless continue synthesize nothing). Design points: - New binding source `remote-synthesized`, sharing the trust tier of process-detected bindings: the command is built exclusively from inline templates with no caller-supplied arguments, so it bypasses the signed approval store the same way. The gate for every other source is unchanged. - Reuses .persistentSSH(SurfaceResumeRemoteContext) - no new Codable case, no persistence-format risk. - Liveness-gated through the existing requireExisting attach pipeline: a live remote PTY is attach-only (the synthesized command is only injected once the PTY is confirmed ended), so restore can never race a live agent and create a duplicate writing the same directory. - Precedence: agent-hook / cli / process-detected bindings always win; synthesis only fills the gap, and only when the snapshot recorded a running agent and auto-resume is enabled. Known limitation (documented in code): directory-scoped continue resumes the most recent session in that directory, so a directory shared by multiple agents of the same kind can continue the wrong conversation. Hook-published bindings (Tier 2) remain the precise path and always take precedence. Refs #7989.

Full narrative below; the observable failure it fixes: What the rig showedChecklist scenario (claude conversing in a persistent-SSH workspace → quit cmux → kill the remote agent and its PTY holder → relaunch):
Root cause, pinned with artifacts: in the very same session snapshot, a local claude panel carries The command template itself is correct: running the synthesized command manually in the dead session's replacement shell resumed the conversation and answered the planted codeword. The fix: facts from the component that watches the agent dieThe daemon owns the PTY and outlives every cmux quit — it is the only component that actually witnesses the agent's death, which makes it the honest source for both
The snapshot-based synthesis introduced earlier in this branch stays intact for snapshots that do carry agent identity (hibernation, future serializers); the two tiers compose. Tests

cmux Resources/Localizable.xcstrings supported locales policy
💡 Result:
In the context of the cmux project by Manaflow (the open-source macOS terminal for coding agents), the policy regarding Resources/Localizable.xcstrings and internationalization (i18n) is one of strict, mandatory full coverage [1][2]. The project enforces a policy of full internationalization for all user-facing text [1][2]. This means that any addition or modification to user-facing text in the Swift codebase must be accompanied by a matching entry in the relevant Localizable.xcstrings catalog, and that entry must include translated values for every locale currently supported by that specific catalog [1][3][2]. Key aspects of this policy include: Enforcement: The project uses automated review-bot rules (specifically configured via CodeRabbit in.coderabbit.yaml) to enforce this policy [2]. Pre-merge checks fail if new or changed strings do not have translated entries for every supported locale in the catalog, or if the Info.plist and string catalogs are not kept in sync with the project's supported language list [1][2]. Catalog-Specific Coverage: 1. macOS Catalog (Resources/Localizable.xcstrings): This catalog supports a broad set of locales (e.g., 20 locales including Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, etc.) [3][4]. Updates to this catalog require that every new key added must include translations for all of these locales to prevent regressions where users see English fallback text [3]. 2. iOS Catalog (ios/cmux/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings): This catalog may support a different, often smaller, subset of locales (e.g., English and Japanese), and therefore requires complete coverage only for the locales defined as supported for that specific target [5][3]. Compliance: Developers are expected to keep the locale registry aligned across all surfaces (Swift code, string catalogs, and web messaging) [1]. Intentional removal or addition of a supported locale must be updated consistently across every affected message and catalog file [1]. Exceptions: The policy allows for narrow exceptions, such as for tests, operational documentation not shown to users, developer-only comments, debug-only logs, literal tokens, and pre-existing untranslated strings that are not worsened by a new change [2]. Note: This policy applies to the Manaflow cmux terminal project [6]. It should not be confused with the unrelated Go library also named cmux (github.com/soheilhy/cmux), which is a connection multiplexer [7].

Normalize --workspace before using it as workspace_id.
sessionLostResumeRemoteCommand reads --workspace (and falls back to CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID) and sends it directly as workspace_id in the workspace.remote.pty_session_lost_resume request. runSSHPTYAttach, called moments later on the same attachArgs/respawnArgs, resolves the identical --workspace value through normalizeWorkspaceHandle before use.
This creates two different resolution paths for the same workspace identity within the same retry flow. Today every real caller of ssh-pty-attach --workspace ... passes $CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID (already a canonical UUID), so this does not fail in practice. If a caller ever passes a ref or index, the RPC call will silently fail through try? and fall back to the plain shell, hiding a routing bug behind the intended failure path.
Resolve workspaceID (and surfaceID, similarly read straight from --attachment-id/CMUX_SURFACE_ID) through the same normalizeWorkspaceHandle/resolveSurfaceId helpers runSSHPTYAttach uses, so both call sites agree on one resolution path for the same identity fact.
Based on path instructions: Apply .github/review-bot-rules/reliability-single-source-of-truth.md during review... flag... more than one disagreeing source of truth for the same fact.

Do not create resume tombstones from stale foreground state.
foregroundCommand updates only when PTY output arrives after the five-second interval. If claude was sampled, then exits to a shell and the PTY ends before the next sample, Lines 1759-1767 store the stale claude identity. The restore flow can then run claude --continue for a shell session.
Track a foreground-state change through a fresh lifecycle signal. If the daemon cannot verify the final agent identity, omit the tombstone. Add a regression where Claude exits to a shell and the session ends inside one sampling interval.
As per coding guidelines: “Do not throttle or poll correctness-critical state reads in a way that creates a visible staleness window.”

Replace the blocking readiness and tombstone waits.
workspace.remote.pty_session_lost_resume blocks the socket worker on NSCondition.wait(until:). Its 20-second deadline does not cover the separate 8-second listEndedPTYSessions() wait, so the response can block for about 28 seconds. Use one cancellable async operation with an explicit completion signal and a single end-to-end deadline. Do not add another lock or polling loop.

#7989) End-to-end verification on a real persistent-SSH rig found the original gate unsatisfiable: the session snapshot's terminal.agent / wasAgentRunning fields are only populated by local launch/shim tracking, which by definition never sees a hookless remote agent, so RemoteAgentContinueSynthesizer never ran (resume_binding stayed null and a lost session respawned a plain shell in $HOME). Move the facts to the component that actually witnesses the agent die: - cmuxd-remote samples the PTY foreground process (TIOCGPGRP + /proc/<pgid>/{comm,cwd}) in the output pump, throttled to one probe per 5s of active output, and keeps a bounded FIFO (64) of ended-session tombstones. pty.list now reports foreground_command / foreground_cwd on live sessions plus an ended_sessions top-level key; absent keys on older daemons decode as no tombstones. - A new v2 method workspace.remote.pty_session_lost_resume turns a tombstone into policy on the app side: an existing binding always wins, the executable must map to a known agent kind (shells never resume), and the synthesized binding passes the same approval and auto-resume gates as every other persistent-SSH resume command. - The ssh-pty-attach wrapper asks the app at the exact moment it confirms the session was lost - the path a real restore actually takes - and injects the returned command into the replacement session. Any failure degrades to the existing plain-shell respawn. The snapshot-based synthesis path stays intact for snapshots that do carry agent identity (hibernation, future serializers).

Follow-up push: independent re-verification on the rig hit the second session-gone path — when the wrapper's first attach dies on the transient daemon-not-ready race, the app-side |

Implements the Tier-1 flavor proposed in #7989's discussion: synthesize a directory-scoped continue binding for remote agents that never published a hook binding, so a persistent-SSH restore can resume the agent after the remote PTY is genuinely gone — without requiring
cmux hooks setupon every remote host.Problem
Local process discovery can't see agents on the SSH host, and hook-published bindings require per-host, per-agent installation — a real adoption cliff for multi-host users. Result: restore reattaches the PTY, but a genuinely-gone PTY leaves the agent unresumed (
resume_binding: null).Approach
When the snapshot still records the agent kind + remote working directory (and
wasAgentRunning),RemoteAgentContinueSynthesizerbuilds a binding from inline templates:cd -- '<dir>' … && claude --continue || claudecd -- '<dir>' … && codex resume --last || codexDesign points, mapped to the issue's acceptance criteria:
requireExistingpipeline; the synthesized command is additionally hard-gated inreattachPersistentRemotePTYPanelsto inject only once the PTY is confirmed ended. A directory-scoped continue has no session checkpoint the remote once-guard could reconcile against, so this gate is stricter than for hook bindings..persistentSSH(SurfaceResumeRemoteContext)— the existing flavor, no new Codable case — and enters through the SSH persistent-session machinery viaremotePTYAttachStartupCommand. No wrapper-resolver tokens (they resolve local Mac paths), mirroringremoteStartupInput()'srepairPortableAgentExecutable: falseconvention.remote-synthesizedshares the process-detected tier (bypasses the signed approval store) because the command is built exclusively from cmux's own inline templates with no caller-supplied arguments — an observation-grade artifact, not a proposal from an arbitrary process. The gate for every other source is unchanged (covered by a regression test).Known limitations (documented in code + tests)

Resumes hookless remote agents in persistent-SSH workspaces after a lost session by synthesizing a directory-scoped continue command from daemon-sampled foreground “tombstones.” Previously, restore reattached the PTY but left the agent unresumed once the PTY had ended.
cmuxd-remotesamples the PTY foreground process (Linux: TIOCGPGRP →/proc/<pgid>/{comm,cwd}; macOS dev:psfor command only), annotates livepty.listentries withforeground_command/foreground_cwd, and returns a boundedended_sessionsFIFO (64) for finished persistent sessions.workspace.remote.pty_session_lost_resume(non–main-actor lane) waits for the daemon link, reads tombstones, applies policy, and returns a remote command or null. The CLIssh-pty-attachwrapper calls it when it confirms session loss and injects the payload by replacing--command-b64; otherwise it degrades to the plain replacement shell.claudeandcodexclaude: “claude --continue || claude”codex: “codex resume --last || codex”The binding uses
