Add cmux CodeRouter CLI passthrough aliases

[lawrencecchen]

Summary

• add exact top-level cmux coderouter ... and cmux cr ... aliases before cmux socket dispatch
• resolve coderouter first, then cr, and replace the cmux CLI process via argv-safe execv
• inherit terminal stdio and preserve CodeRouter's exit status; report an actionable PATH error when neither executable is installed
• cover argument preservation, shell-metacharacter safety, stdio forwarding, canonical-name preference, fallback, exit status, and missing-executable handling

Scope

• does not embed or sign the Rust CodeRouter binary
• does not change existing subrouter/socket behavior

Validation

• cmux-cli Debug build passed
• CLI source/test parse checks passed
• bundled CLI smoke checks passed for canonical alias, cr fallback, and missing executable
• scripts/lint-pbxproj-test-wiring.sh passed
• direct focused cmux-unit run passed CLICoderouterAliasTests (4/4) with the pinned GhosttyKit and Rust toolchain
• the normal local xcodebuild wrapper denies test actions by policy; Depot full-unit run 31701093211 was cancelled at its 20-minute workflow timeout (no test failure reported on that run)

Summary by cubic

Adds top-level cmux coderouter and cmux cr aliases that exec the installed CodeRouter CLI instead of routing through the cmux socket. Previously unavailable; now cmux replaces itself, forwards argv/stdio, preserves signals and exit status, and exits 127 with generic guidance when resolution or launch fails.

• Resolves coderouter first, then cr; builds argv directly and uses execve (no shell), so metacharacters and “--” pass unchanged.
• Intercepts only the top-level command before socket dispatch; no subrouter or socket changes.
• Scrubs CMUX_* and CMUXD_* from the child environment; no auth or control‑plane handoff.
• Adds a localized CLI help entry for coderouter|cr and localizes error messages; tests verify localized help output.
• Keeps exec diagnostics internal (debug log only), with user-facing errors generic.
• Required action: Ensure coderouter or cr is installed and on PATH.

^{Written for commit ba1a759. Summary will update on new commits.}

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI adds coderouter and cr aliases. It resolves and directly executes the available CodeRouter executable, forwards arguments and terminal streams, propagates exit status, and reports launch failures with status 127. Integration tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

CodeRouter CLI aliases

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Alias resolution and execution CLI/cmux.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings	The CLI dispatches coderouter and cr, resolves the executable, forwards arguments through execv, documents the aliases, and adds English and Japanese messages for launch failures.
Alias integration validation cmuxTests/CLIAuthAliasTests.swift	Integration tests cover executable preference, cr fallback, argument and stream forwarding, exit-status propagation, missing-executable errors, and executable test setup.

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

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 9065d

The new aliases provide localized CodeRouter passthrough behavior with argument, stdio, and exit-status forwarding. Merge is reasonable with owner awareness that timeout cleanup should be bounded and the cr fallback path needs stronger argument-preservation coverage.

Important

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

❌ Failed checks (2 errors, 1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy	❌ Error	The new missing-executable path exposes the upstream name “CodeRouter CLI” and the environment variable name “PATH” in a user-facing error.	Use generic cmux wording and a safe next action, such as “Required CLI not found. Install the command and retry,” without vendor or environment-variable names.
Cmux Full Internationalization	❌ Error	The PR adds two Localizable.xcstrings keys with only en and ja, but the touched catalog already contains 20 locales, leaving 18 locale entries missing for each key.	Add translated stringUnit entries for ar, bs, da, de, es, fr, it, km, ko, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant for both new keys.
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

✅ Passed checks (22 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Cmux Swift Actor Isolation	✅ Passed	The production diff adds only a synchronous private CMUXCLI method and dispatch; it adds no model, service protocol, Sendable reference, UI-store access, async context, or actor-isolation annotation.
Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime	✅ Passed	The production diff adds PATH resolution and execv only; it adds no listed blocking or timing primitive. The new semaphore wait and waitUntilExit occur only in deterministic test scaffolding.
Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main	✅ Passed	The diff adds only CodeRouter CLI aliases, localization, and alias tests; it changes no browser.* command, WebKit wait, mainActor route, or socket-worker routing.
Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load	✅ Passed	No changed production code invokes RestorableAgentSessionIndex.load(), agent stores, transcript/trajectory logs, broad scans, per-record syscalls, or large JSON parsing.
Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness	✅ Passed	The diff adds fresh PATH/file-executable resolution and direct execv dispatch only; it does not replace an authoritative read with a cache or alter persistence, history, undo, or snapshot paths.
Cmux No Hacky Sleeps	✅ Passed	The diff changes only Swift tests/source and localization; it introduces no covered TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or build/runtime-script sleep or timer. Swift timing is out of scope.
Cmux Algorithmic Complexity	✅ Passed	The production change scans only a fixed two-item candidate list and performs a linear PATH lookup at most twice during one CLI dispatch; no scalable-record nested scan or hot-path rebuild is intro...
Cmux Swift Concurrency	✅ Passed	The diff uses execv for synchronous process replacement; its only new Dispatch usage is a test semaphore, not a background queue or fire-and-forget Task.
Cmux Swift @Concurrent	✅ Passed	The changed Swift adds only synchronous alias and test helpers; no nonisolated async work, @concurrent annotations, actor-isolated functions, or UI-isolated async heavy call sites were introduced.
Cmux Swift Package Boundaries	✅ Passed	The diff adds only private CodeRouter process-dispatch glue in the dedicated cmux-cli target; it adds no reusable domain API, cross-surface logic, or package-boundary signal.
Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles	✅ Passed	The PR diff contains only CLI, localization, and test files; it changes no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or Xcode package references.
Cmux Swift Logging	✅ Passed	The production diff adds no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, Logger, or diagnostic file logging; shell printf and captured streams are test fixtures, and alias errors are intended CLI output.
Cmux Swiftui State Layout	✅ Passed	PASS: The diff adds CLI dispatch, localization, and tests only; no new SwiftUI state, GeometryReader, lazy-row store reference, or render-time state mutation appears in added Swift lines.
Cmux Architecture Rethink	✅ Passed	The production diff adds one shared alias action with direct execv argv handling; it adds no sleeps, polling, observers, mutable side channels, duplicate wiring, or split UI ownership. Test semapho...
Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts	✅ Passed	The diff adds CLI CodeRouter alias/process handling, help text, localization, and process-based tests; it introduces no NSWindow, NSPanel, Window, or window-controller code.
Cmux Source Artifacts	✅ Passed	The diff contains only intentional Swift source, tests, and a localization catalog; no logs, captures, caches, build output, dependency checkouts, or artifact directories were added.
Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source	✅ Passed	The diff changes CLI/cmux.swift outside /Sources/, plus a test file and localization; no production Sources Swift file gains a test/debug seam.
Cmux No Ambient Global State	✅ Passed	The production diff adds only a private instance method and dispatch branch inside existing CMUXCLI; it adds no file-scope function, mutable global, static namespace, or singleton.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly summarizes the main change: adding CodeRouter passthrough aliases to the cmux CLI.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description clearly explains the changes, scope, behavior, tests, and validation results, despite omitting some template sections.
