The Compose Task button was gated on supportsTaskComposer, which only read the foreground Mac's live capability snapshot. That snapshot is empty whenever no Mac connection is live, so the button disappeared while offline or between reconnects, and a capable secondary Mac could not show it either.

Now any connected Mac (foreground or control secondary) advertising workspace.task_create.v1 shows the entrypoint. A fleet of connected Macs that all lack the capability still hides it, so the mobile-task-composer-enabled-release remote kill switch keeps working. With zero connected Macs the entrypoint stays visible and the composer shows a non-blocking orange "No Mac is connected. Open cmux on a Mac to start this task." banner (new hasAnyConnectedMac store signal). Submission to an offline Mac keeps its existing failure path.

Commit 1 adds the failing regression test (fresh store must keep the entrypoint visible), commit 2 the fix. Localization audit: one new key mobile.taskComposer.warning.noConnectedMac added to ios/cmux/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings with en and ja; no other user-facing strings changed.

Summary by cubic

Always show New Task on iOS and explain when no Mac is connected. Previously the button hid when no Mac was live because supportsTaskComposer only consulted the foreground Mac; now any connected Mac with workspace.task_create.v1 enables it, and with zero Macs the button stays visible and the composer shows a non-blocking warning.

  • Logic: MobileShellComposite.supportsTaskComposer returns true if any connected Mac (foreground or control secondary) advertises workspace.task_create.v1; returns false only when at least one Mac is connected and none advertise; returns true when zero Macs are connected. New hasAnyConnectedMac tracks any live Mac session.
  • UI: new TaskComposerConnectionWarningBanner; TaskComposerLayout renders it; TaskComposerSheet supplies the localized message and exposes accessibility id "MobileTaskComposerConnectionWarning".
  • Kill switch: behavior of the mobile-task-composer-enabled-release remote flag is preserved—if all connected Macs lack the capability, the entrypoint hides.
  • Tests: added coverage for entrypoint visibility with no Macs, capability-driven visibility across foreground and secondary Macs, and hasAnyConnectedMac. New localization key mobile.taskComposer.warning.noConnectedMac (en, ja). No migrations required.

Written for commit d0f8e3c. Summary will update on new commits.

supportsTaskComposer returns false whenever no Mac connection is live,
so the Compose Task button disappears while the phone is offline or
between reconnects instead of opening the composer with a warning.

supportsTaskComposer treated the foreground Mac's capability snapshot as
the only signal, and that snapshot is empty whenever no Mac connection is
live, so the Compose Task button vanished while offline or between
reconnects. Now any connected Mac (foreground or control secondary)
advertising workspace.task_create.v1 shows the entrypoint, a fleet of
connected Macs that all lack it still hides it (the remote kill switch
keeps working), and with zero connected Macs the entrypoint stays visible.
The composer sheet renders a non-blocking 'No Mac is connected' banner via
the new hasAnyConnectedMac signal so the missing connection is explained
instead of hidden.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The iOS task composer now checks task-creation support across connected Macs. It remains available without a connection and displays a localized, non-blocking warning when live state has no connected Mac.

Changes

Task Composer Connection Awareness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connected Mac capability evaluation
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShell/Sources/CmuxMobileShell/MobileShellComposite+Capabilities.swift, Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShell/Tests/CmuxMobileShellTests/MobileShellWorkspaceCapabilityTests.swift
supportsTaskComposer evaluates foreground and secondary Mac capabilities. hasAnyConnectedMac reports connection state. Tests cover capability visibility and connection state.
Connection warning rendering
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/TaskComposer/*, ios/cmux/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings
TaskComposerSheet supplies a localized warning when live state has no connected Mac. TaskComposerLayout renders the informational banner. Injected machine data suppresses the warning.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d0f8e

The PR changes task-entry visibility and connection warnings; if secondary connection records outlive their live sessions, the app could show the entrypoint or suppress the no-Mac warning based on stale state. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk that warrants owner awareness or follow-up, but no supplied evidence indicates a release-blocking failure.

secondaryMacSubscriptions. Add tests that populate secondaryMacSubscriptions
with a connected secondary Mac both advertising and not advertising
Self.taskCreateCapability, verifying the property returns true when supported
and false when a connected secondary Mac lacks it.
- Around line 122-151: Update performSecondaryMacSubscriptionEstablishment and

including .superseded and .transientFailure outcomes and transient authority
failures, retires the exact inserted subscription. Ensure
secondaryMacSubscriptions no longer retains non-live clients, while preserving
