Closes #10102

Summary

  • restore terminal file-path insertion when a portal-owned pane has no active drop context
  • preserve transient and promised image files in pasteboard-service-owned storage before handing paths to a terminal or agent
  • reject a complete mixed drop when a transient image cannot be retained, including /tmp and /private/tmp aliases

Root cause

GhosttySurfaceScrollView.paneDropTargetForDrop(at:) returned its PaneDropTargetView after dropContext had been cleared during portal/sidebar churn. FileDropOverlayView delegated Finder drops to that inert target, which rejected them before the underlying terminal could insert the path. Image providers can also hand out short-lived promised files, so the path could be typed after the provider had already removed the source.

Fix

The portal lookup now requires an active drop context. Promised file URLs are read per pasteboard item, and transient image sources are copied through a no-follow, byte-capped descriptor read into service-owned temporary storage before local insertion or remote upload. Ownership cleanup remains centralized in TerminalPasteboardService.

Testing

  • Red regression baseline: run 32184949070 failed on the test-only commit as expected; the inactive-target assertion reproduced the bug.
  • Focused Finder-drop suite: run 32198380048 passed 25 tests on commit 485d627042.
  • Focused inactive-target regression: run 32199051828 passed 1 test on commit 485d627042.
  • Manual CI attempt: run 32198382275 compiled the changed terminal/package code successfully; its aggregate result was affected by a pre-existing BrowserPanelView.swift warning-budget mismatch and unrelated fleet test/time-out failures.
  • Static checks passed locally: git diff --check, lint-pbxproj-test-wiring.sh, pbxproj/package/workspace policy checks, and Swift frontend parsing of changed files.
  • Per task instructions, no local Xcode build, app launch, XCTest, or XCUITest was run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Terminal file and image drops now materialize transient and promised URLs into owned storage, reject failed transfers, and recognize temporary-path aliases. Pane drop-target lookup also requires an active drop context. Regression tests cover durability, cleanup, rejection, and routing.

Changes

Terminal file-drop handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Image ownership and materialization
Packages/macOS/CmuxTerminal/Sources/CmuxTerminal/Services/Pasteboard/*
TerminalPasteboardService validates and copies transient image files into owned storage. It supports temporary-path aliases, bounded reads, secure destinations, ownership tracking, and rollback.
Promised URL extraction and durable transfer
Sources/TerminalImageTransfer.swift, Sources/GhosttyTerminalView.swift, cmuxTests/FinderFileDropRegressionTests.swift
Promised file URLs are extracted and deduplicated. Paste and drop preparation use durable URLs and reject materialization failures. Tests cover cleanup, aliases, promised URLs, and mixed-drop rejection.
Drop-context routing regression
Sources/GhosttyTerminalView.swift, cmuxTests/TerminalAndGhosttyTests.swift
Pane drop-target lookup returns no target without an active TerminalPaneDropContext. Tests cover context activation and clearing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to d4a20

The current change still contains a compile-blocking terminal image-drop path, and unresolved file-transfer edge cases can lose files or deliver invalid paths; merge should be blocked until these issues are fixed.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

According to Apple Foundation documentation, does FileManager.copyItem(at:to:) guarantee that a source file remains unchanged after a separate URL.resourceValues metadata read?

💡 Result:

Apple Foundation documentation does not explicitly state that FileManager.copyItem(at:to:) provides a formal guarantee regarding the source file remaining unchanged after a concurrent or separate metadata read operation (such as a URL.resourceValues read). In general practice, FileManager.copyItem(at:to:) is designed to create a copy of the source item at the specified destination [1][2]. It is a synchronous operation that requires read permission for the source [1]. While the method is not documented to modify the content or primary metadata of the source file during a standard copy operation [1], Apple's documentation does not define specific thread-safety or atomicity guarantees regarding concurrent metadata access performed by separate processes or threads [1][3]. Furthermore, behavior can vary based on the underlying file system and OS implementation: - On platforms like macOS, copyItem(at:to:) may utilize system-level mechanisms (such as clonefile(2) on APFS) to create efficient copies [4]. - Implementation details, such as how metadata (like ownership or permissions) is handled after the copy, have been observed to differ across platforms (e.g., behavior observed on Linux vs. Darwin) [5][6]. If your application requires strict consistency or protection against concurrent modifications, you should manage access to the file resource using appropriate synchronization primitives (e.g., locks or dispatch queues) rather than relying on an implicit guarantee from the file manager's copy operation.

Bound the copy, not only the preflight size check.

resourceValues and FileManager.copyItem(at:to:) are separate path-based operations. A drag provider can replace or grow the source after validation, causing a different file to be copied or the destination to exceed Self.maxClipboardImageSize.

Open the source once without following links, validate the opened handle, copy with byte-limited reads, and remove the destination when the limit is exceeded.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

According to Apple Foundation documentation, does URL.standardizedFileURL resolve the /tmp symbolic link to /private/tmp on macOS?

💡 Result:

According to Apple Foundation documentation and standard macOS behavior, URL.standardizedFileURL does not necessarily resolve the /tmp symbolic link to /private/tmp. The standardizedFileURL property is primarily designed to standardize a file URL's path by reducing empty components and references to the current directory (such as "//" or "/./") [1]. While it may perform certain path simplifications, it does not guarantee the resolution of symbolic links [1]. For the specific purpose of resolving symbolic links, Apple provides the resolvingSymlinksInPath method [2][3][4]. However, even this method exhibits known, long-standing inconsistencies on macOS regarding system-level symbolic links like /tmp, /var, and /etc [5][6]. In many cases, resolvingSymlinksInPath may return the original path (e.g., /tmp) rather than the fully resolved absolute path (e.g., /private/tmp) [5][6]. This behavior is a documented nuance of how the Foundation framework handles certain absolute path prefixes and symbolic link resolution on macOS [1][4][5].

Handle /tmp and /private/tmp as the same temporary root. standardizedFileURL preserves these aliases, so a transient image under /private/tmp/... bypasses isTemporaryPath, skips copyTemporaryImageFile, and can disappear before terminal use. Use reliable alias-independent path comparison and add /private/tmp coverage.

- Around line 335-351: Restore Swift UUID interpolation for every temporary
fixture path in testTransientImageURLsUnderTmpAliasesGetOwnedCopies and the
additional fixture paths in the same test, replacing literal (UUID().uuidString)
text with evaluated UUID values so each test run uses unique directory and file
paths.
- Around line 364-400: The test testTransientCopyFailureRejectsMixedFileDrop
currently exercises rollback without first creating a successful transient copy.
Add a valid transient image before missingTransientURL, include it in the
pasteboard file list, and after prepareSynchronously returns .reject, assert
that the corresponding owned copy under ownedDirectory has been removed.

In `@Sources/GhosttyTerminalView.swift`:
- Around line 7860-7867: Update the drop handling around durableDroppedFileURLs
to move promised-file materialization into one caller-owned asynchronous
preparation operation, keeping the durable URL alive until preparation
completes. Ensure the synchronous interactive drop handler performs no
potentially large file copy, and await or otherwise explicitly manage the
operation’s completion before continuing; do not use delayed dispatch or
fire-and-forget work.

7868-7872: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Return the transfer result.

executePreparedImageTransfer returns Bool, but this path discards it and then falls through without returning a value. Add return before the call.

  • Required PR checks are green and the PR is MERGEABLE.
  • Manual CI 32198382275 compiled the changed terminal/package code, but its aggregate lane is red on pre-existing BrowserPanelView.swift warning-budget drift, a timed-out unrelated CmuxIrohTransport test, and unrelated app-host shard failures. No changed-file warning or test failure was reported.
