Reimplements the iOS terminal keyboard pinning from scratch so the composer bar, shortcuts bar, and terminal bottom track the keyboard with no bad frames.

Why a rebuild

Five open PRs (#9663, #9770, #9827, #10147, #10158) patched the same symptom set: one-frame seams between the dock and the terminal on interrupted reversals, blank terminal exposed during keyboard rise, a content snap after keyboard dismissal, and bars wedged under a raised keyboard after workspace switches. Each traced back to two structural choices on main: UIKeyboardLayoutGuide as the dock authority (misses transitions while the view is detached, broken on iOS 27, second animation clock), and keyboard motion split across two mechanisms (a constraint for the dock, a CGAffineTransform for the renderer) that required presentation-layer rebasing to stay aligned.

What changed

  • One geometry authority. Keyboard frame notifications drive the dock on every OS version. The UIKeyboardLayoutGuide path, the iOS 27 fork (KeyboardDockGeometrySource), and CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_IOS27_KEYBOARD_DOCK are deleted.
  • One moving constraint system. A keyboard leg changes two constraint constants (dock bottom, render-wrapper bottom) and animates a single layoutIfNeeded() on the keyboard's curve. The clip boundary between terminal and bars is a constraint to the dock top, so bars and terminal boundary derive from the same layout pass and cannot land on different timelines. .beginFromCurrentState retargets reversals from live presentation frames; rebaseKeyboardPresentationFromLiveFrames and the dock-animation stripping hooks are deleted.
  • Animated endpoint = settled layout. The wrapper animates the render bottom to the exact edge the first post-transition layout pass computes (same snapshot + cursor-aware renderPinnedBottomEdge math), so the completion fold is a visual no-op. Previously the renderer was translated unconditionally to the dock edge and the next layout pass snapped it to the cursor-aware pin.
  • Detached-transition recovery. New MobileKeyboardFrameTracker records keyboard end frames process-wide (armed at launch); a host attaching to a window settles its dock and the renderer model from that record. This also clears a stale keyboardPresentationTransitionActive left by a leg interrupted by detach, which could previously freeze grid negotiation until the next keyboard event.
  • Tests. TerminalKeyboardDockEndpoints carries the endpoint arithmetic with 5 unit tests. testIOS27KeyboardDockWorkaroundPinsComposerToKeyboard becomes testNotificationKeyboardDockPinsComposerToKeyboard, the universal contract test; the dock probe keeps its keyboardDockSource key (always notification). Existing reversal XCUITests (testTerminalDockStaysUnifiedAcrossRapidKeyboardReversals, testTerminalDockStaysPinnedForInPlaceKeyboardControlReversals) exercise the new path unchanged.

Localization audit: no user-facing strings added or changed (all internal layout code).

Summary by cubic

Rebuilds iOS terminal keyboard pinning around a single notification‑driven geometry authority and removes UIKeyboardLayoutGuide. Ships the legacy notification+transform path as the default on all OS versions; iOS ≤26 can revert to the rebuilt single‑constraint path for correctness and stability.

  • Keyboard geometry and animation: notifications drive two constraint constants (dock bottom, render-wrapper bottom) in one keyboard-curve layoutIfNeeded(); animated endpoint equals the first settled layout; .beginFromCurrentState handles reversals; keyboardDidChangeFrame retargets only on disagreement with a short curve; layout self-heals the dock seat from an app‑lifetime MobileKeyboardFrameTracker outside active legs; detach strips keyboard-motion animations to avoid resuming stale legs.
  • Legacy path (default everywhere; always on iOS 27+): will‑frame only; dock by constraint plus wrapper transform; interrupted legs rebase from presentation layers; fold pins the render at the dock; both paths recover detach from the tracker; probe reports keyboardDockSource=legacyNotification (rebuilt path reports notification).
  • Tracker and injection: adds MobileKeyboardFrameTracker in CmuxMobileSupport; injected via \.mobileKeyboardFrameTracker from the app composition root so hosts recover transitions missed while detached; previews/harnesses use a coordinator fallback.
  • Path selection and controls: TerminalKeyboardDockPathSelection selects the path once at host mount. Remote kill switch ClientConfigFlag.iosKeyboardDockRebuildRevert (cached in MobileFeatureFlags, injected via \.keyboardDockRebuildRevertEnabled) routes iOS ≤26 to the rebuild; iOS 27+ never routes to it. DEBUG overrides: CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_LEGACY_KEYBOARD_DOCK, CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_REBUILD_KEYBOARD_DOCK, and Settings > Developer “Rebuilt Keyboard Pinning” (persists -cmux.mobile.debug.forceRebuildKeyboardDock.v1; reopen the workspace to apply; release builds ignore).
  • Tests and metrics: extracts endpoint math to TerminalKeyboardDockEndpoints with unit tests in CmuxMobileTerminalKit; adds unit tests for path selection; XCUITests assert the clip‑to‑dock seam stays zero and that the dock sits within the keyboard’s accessory chrome band; render‑attachment checks move to echo‑settled points; probe adds renderer/dock gap metrics. Localization adds settings strings only.

Written for commit 5b50476. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reliable keyboard frame tracking and visibility detection.
    • Improved terminal docking and rendering during keyboard transitions, including detached views and oversized keyboards.
    • Added consistent keyboard geometry calculations across supported iOS versions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved keyboard animations, dismissal handling, and bottom-dock positioning.
    • Removed reliance on OS-specific keyboard behavior and test overrides.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for keyboard movement, dismissal, partial overlap, and boundary conditions.

Keyboard frame notifications now drive the dock on every OS version;
UIKeyboardLayoutGuide is gone from the terminal host. The guide missed
transitions that happened while the surface was detached (workspace
switches wedged the bars under a raised keyboard), seats at the screen
bottom on iOS 27, and formed a second animation authority racing the
notification-driven renderer motion.

Keyboard motion is now two constraint constants — the dock bottom and
the render wrapper bottom — changed together and animated by a single
layoutIfNeeded() on the keyboard's own curve. The old design moved the
dock by constraint but the renderer by a CGAffineTransform, so an
interrupted reversal needed presentation-layer rebasing and could
expose one-frame seams between the bars and the terminal. With every
moving edge derived from one layout pass, .beginFromCurrentState
retargets all layers consistently and the rebasing machinery is
deleted.

The wrapper's animated endpoint is the exact render-bottom edge the
first settled layout pass computes (same snapshot + cursor-aware
renderPinnedBottomEdge math), so the post-transition fold is a visual
no-op. Previously the renderer was translated unconditionally to the
dock edge and the next layout pass snapped it to the cursor-aware pin
(visible content jump after keyboard dismissal).

MobileKeyboardFrameTracker records keyboard frames process-wide; a
host attaching to a window settles its dock from that record, so
transitions missed while detached can no longer wedge the dock. The
tracker is armed at launch in AppCompositionRoot.

CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_IOS27_KEYBOARD_DOCK is removed and the iOS 27
workaround test is now the universal notification-dock contract test.
TerminalKeyboardDockEndpoints carries the endpoint arithmetic with
unit tests in CmuxMobileTerminalKit.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 74cd4

This PR substantially changes iOS keyboard and terminal positioning, but two bounded correctness risks remain: some mounts may miss earlier keyboard transitions, and detach/reattach recovery may briefly leave the terminal misaligned with the dock. These paths should receive explicit owner review or fixes before merging.

Greptile Summary

The PR rebuilds iOS terminal keyboard pinning around notification-derived geometry while retaining the legacy notification-and-transform implementation as the default and exposing the rebuilt path through remote and debug controls.

  • Adds app-lifetime keyboard-frame recovery for hosts that reattach after missing transitions.
  • Introduces endpoint and path-selection models with unit coverage.
  • Adds localized developer controls and expanded keyboard-dock UI tests.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because keyboard activity in one overlapping iPad window scene can still displace the terminal UI in another scene.

The host and recovery tracker both consume process-wide, screen-space keyboard frames without preserving originating-scene identity; geometric intersection handles disjoint windows but still produces a reservation when separate scene windows overlap.

P1 Keyboard state crosses window scenes

When an iPad user has two cmux scenes open and the keyboard changes in one, this process-wide tracker stores that scene's unscoped frame and the other scene converts it through its own window, causing that terminal to reserve the wrong keyboard height and displace or clip its dock and content. Scope the tracked frame to its originating UIWindowScene rather than sharing one value across every window.

The recorded frame is screen-space exactly as UIKit broadcasts keyboard notifications to every scene in the process, and each consumer converts it through its OWN window and intersects it with its own bounds (MobileKeyboardReservation), so a multi-scene read yields the overlap the keyboard actually has over that scene's window — a scene the keyboard does not cover resolves to zero reservation. Per-scene visibility drift observed while a host was detached self-corrects on the next keyboard notification in that scene, the same convergence UIKit's own process-wide broadcast relies on. Documented on the tracker in 6c2d7d8.

You're right. The updated file already documents this precisely — screen-space storage, per-consumer conversion through their own window via window.convert(lastEndFrame, from: nil), and MobileKeyboardReservation intersecting against that scene's view frame. The currentOverlap(in:) and currentVisibility(in:) helpers enforce this contract in code, not just comments: a scene the keyboard doesn't cover resolves to zero, and a floating/split iPad keyboard resolves to zero as well. My original concern doesn't apply. Happy to withdraw it.

The package-conventions lint rejects a new `.shared` singleton, and the
repo pattern is a de-singletonized graph: AppCompositionRoot owns the
app-lifetime MobileKeyboardFrameTracker, cmuxApp injects it through the
new `\.mobileKeyboardFrameTracker` environment entry, and
GhosttySurfaceRepresentable hands it to GhosttySurfaceHostView. The
tracker must outlive host views (a host rebuilt after a workspace
switch recovers keyboard transitions it was not installed for), so the
instance lives in the root, with a coordinator-owned fallback only for
previews and isolated harnesses.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the fallback tracker to previews and isolated harnesses.

When mobileKeyboardFrameTracker is absent, Lines 120-124 select a new coordinator tracker. That tracker cannot record transitions that occurred before the coordinator was created or while the host was detached. A production mount can therefore restore an incorrect keyboard reservation.

Use an explicit preview/harness-only fallback. Otherwise, pass the missing tracker through and fail closed instead of selecting a second production source.

As per path instructions, reliability-single-source-of-truth.md requires MobileKeyboardFrameTracker to be the sole keyboard-geometry authority and permits fallback tracker instances only for previews or isolated harnesses.

Also applies to: 292-295

Source: Path instructions

CI caught the dock seating 17pt above the key plane: the keyboard
notification arrived while the host still had pre-layout bounds, the
overlap captured then went stale when the host's frame settled, and no
later keyboard event existed to correct the seat. The guide-based
design self-healed implicitly in layoutSubviews; the notification
authority now does it explicitly — every settled layout pass re-derives
the seat from the tracker's keyboard record and re-seats only on
disagreement, so it is idempotent and cannot fight an active leg.

keyboardDidChangeFrame is now observed with a disagreement gate: a did
that matches the current target is ignored (acting on it would replace
an in-flight leg with a zero-duration relayout — the historical re-open
snap), while a genuine keyboard re-seat runs the normal transition path
with a short curve since did payloads carry no duration.

The per-frame seam metric (terminalDockPresentationGap) now measures
the terminal CLIP edge against the dock top — the structural contract
this design pins by constraint — instead of the renderer bottom, which
legitimately diverges while blank rows absorb the keyboard intrusion.
The renderer distance stays visible as rendererDockPresentationGap.
XCUITest render-attachment asserts move to echo-settled checkpoints:
the keyboard-up/down grid arrives with the Mac's viewport echo one
round-trip later, and asserting a pre-echo snapshot enforced the old
translate-then-snap behavior this PR removes.

The layout self-heal reads the tracker, which observes the same
keyboard notification before the host does. Flushing layout before
raising keyboardTransitionActive let the self-heal seat the dock at the
new target inside the flush, so the animated leg had nothing left to
animate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The dock seats on UIKit's notification frame, which includes the
accessory chrome above the key plane (autocorrect or inline-autofill
bar, 17-44pt on the CI simulator), while the XCUI keyboard element
covers only the keys. Comparing the dock edge to the key plane with
2pt accuracy fails whenever that chrome exists, for any correct
implementation. The oracle is now a band: the dock must never cover
the key plane and never float more than one accessory bar above it,
which still catches every historical failure mode (seats half a
keyboard off, floats at the safe area, sinks under the keys).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Answers the review question about cross-scene keyboard state: the
recorded frame is screen-space exactly as UIKit broadcasts it to every
scene, and each consumer intersects it with its own window, so a
multi-scene read yields that scene's real overlap and per-scene
visibility drift self-corrects on the next keyboard notification.

Verification round complete on head 6c2d7d8 (app-behavior code e9f26c4):

  • All three keyboard XCUITests pass on CI (job ios-simulator (iphone)): rapid reversal, notification dock, in-place reversal. The failing package-conventions-lint job flags six pre-existing files absent from this PR's diff (main is red on it); ios-tests fails only as its aggregator.
  • Independent frame-split verification on an isolated simulator (2,230 frames over five scenarios: show, hide, rapid A→B→A reversals, workspace re-entry, content-snap): zero seam pixels between the terminal boundary and the bars on every frame, ≤1px bars↔keyboard, exact 25px steady inset, and the in-app per-display-frame samplers read dockMaxInternalPresentationGap=0.000 / terminalDockMaxPresentationGap=0.000 across every transition. CPU peaks at 37% per transition, no sustained main-thread load.
  • Follow-up commits during verification: layout self-heal re-derives the dock seat from the tracker when the host's bounds change after a keyboard notification (fixes a 17pt stale-bounds seat CI caught); a disagreement-gated keyboardDidChangeFrame observer corrects keyboard re-seats; the per-frame seam metric now measures the terminal CLIP edge (the structural contract) with the renderer distance kept as informational keys; the UITest keyboard oracle asserts the dock inside the keyboard's accessory-chrome band instead of equality with the bare key plane.

Evidence bundle: out/kbpp-verify/evidence/ in the dogfood worktree (videos, frame CSVs, contact sheets, probe dumps, profiling).

Dogfood on iOS 27 found the keyboard toggle inert under the rebuilt
path, while the pre-rebuild implementation behaved correctly there —
consistent with iOS 27's known keyboard API misreporting (its layout
guide already seats at the screen bottom while the keyboard is
visible). The single-constraint rebuild, tracker self-heal, and
didChangeFrame correction now apply on iOS 26 and below; iOS 27 and
newer run a faithful restoration of the previous transform leg:
will-frame notifications only, dock constraint plus wrapper transform
in one transaction, presentation-layer rebasing on interrupted
reversals, and the unconditional render fold at the dock top.

CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_LEGACY_KEYBOARD_DOCK (DEBUG-only) forces the legacy
path on any simulator; testLegacyKeyboardDockPinsComposerToKeyboard
exercises it on CI, and the dock probe reports the active path as
keyboardDockSource=legacyNotification.

iOS 27 scope update, verified on-device-sim: the rebuild is now gated to iOS 26 and earlier. iOS 27+ keeps the pre-rebuild notification+transform dock path (usesLegacyKeyboardDockPath, probe reports keyboardDockSource=legacyNotification). Verified on an iOS 27.0 simulator with the real signed-in app at 225f37e: keyboard toggle up and down both work, composer bottom sits exactly at the notification keyboard top (419 = 720-301), terminal render bottom exactly at dock top, terminalDockPresentationGap=0.000 and dockInternalPresentationGap=0.000 in both directions. CI on this head: notification dock, forced-legacy dock, and 10-cycle rapid-reversal tests all green (runs 32695190260 / 32695194057 / 32695198314).

Settings > Developer gains a DEBUG-only 'Legacy Keyboard Pinning' switch so
dogfood can A/B the iOS 27 notification+transform dock path against the
iOS 26 rebuild on one device. The flag persists through MobileDisplaySettings
to a shared UserDefaults key (MobileKeyboardDockDebugSetting) that
GhosttySurfaceHostView snapshots per terminal mount, so flipping it applies
on the next workspace open. Release builds ignore the stored value.

Verified on an iOS 26.5 simulator: probe keyboardDockSource flips
notification -> legacyNotification after toggling and reopening the
workspace, with keyboard-up dock gaps 0.000 on the legacy path. New CI test
drives the same defaults key through the launch-argument domain.

The package-conventions lint rejects new all-static namespace types; the
receiver-natural home for a defaults-backed flag is an extension on
UserDefaults itself. Same key, same DEBUG-only semantics.

… kill switch

Dogfood rated the legacy notification+transform path above the rebuild on
both iOS 26 and 27, so it becomes the shipping default on every OS.
TerminalKeyboardDockPathSelection owns the precedence: the rebuilt
single-constraint path stays reachable on iOS 26 and earlier only, through
the remote PostHog kill switch ios-keyboard-dock-rebuild-revert
(MobileFeatureFlags cache -> root scene environment -> host snapshot at
mount) or the DEBUG-only overrides (Settings > Developer 'Rebuilt Keyboard
Pinning', UI-test env force, launch-argument defaults key). iOS 27+ never
routes to the rebuild because it misreads that OS's keyboard frames.

Verified on an iOS 26.5 simulator: default probe reports legacyNotification
with keyboard-up dock gaps 0.000, and the Developer override flips the same
terminal to notification after reopening the workspace. Unit tests cover the
path-selection matrix and the new flag's default/cache/refresh behavior; the
keyboard UI tests now pin the rebuilt-path suites behind the same force the
kill switch drives and prove legacy is the unforced default.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The local review gate flagged that the legacy path (now the shipping
default) settled at the last notification-derived height after a detach,
so a workspace switch that changed keyboard state while the host was
detached could seat the dock at a stale height and strand the surface's
transition flag. Attach recovery now re-derives the seat from the
app-lifetime keyboard tracker on both paths, and the no-animation settle
always folds the surface's settled keyboard state (height, visibility,
transition flag), which is exactly the rebuild's proven recovery applied
path-independently. Also adds the DocC and injected-defaults seams the
review requested.

#10518 (keyboard-pinning rebuild) landed on main mid-merge with a
competing presentation in the same files. Per Aziz's direction, the
synthesis keeps each PR's strength:

- kbpp's dock-following spine: notification-only seat authority on every
  OS, keyboardDidChangeFrame disagreement reseats (0.2s curve for
  duration-less payloads), and MobileKeyboardFrameTracker healing —
  height AND visibility — for transitions missed while detached. This
  replaces this branch's keyboard-guide sensor (and its resolution-probe
  workaround) outright and also closes the iOS 27 reattach gap the
  earlier review flagged.

- kbfull's terminal presentation: the keyboard-invariant grid and the
  single wrapper constraint (dock.top + chrome + blank-space slack), with
  no settle-fold or presentation rebasing. The legacy transform and the
  rebuilt fold both existed to mask the grid-resize round trip, which no
  longer exists, so one presentation path remains; the rebuild-revert
  kill-switch parameters are accepted for call-site compatibility but not
  consulted, and TerminalKeyboardDockEndpoints/PathSelection stay as
  dormant kit code with passing tests.

The probe reports keyboardDockSource=notification unconditionally; the
merged kbpp UITest expecting legacyNotification is updated accordingly.

…tion (#10687)

* ios: seat the dock on UIKeyboardLayoutGuide; absorption as static inequalities

Dogfood on the merged build reported the composer bar less glued to the
keyboard than earlier guide-era builds. iOS keyboards animate with a
private spring that notification-driven followers only approximate; the
system guide is the only pixel-locked follower. The original reason to
abandon the guide — a second animation authority racing per-leg slack
retargets — is removed structurally: the blank-space absorption is now
expressed as STATIC constraint inequalities

    wrapper.bottom <= host.bottom                (natural cap)
    wrapper.bottom <= dock.top + chrome + blank  (content cap)
    wrapper.bottom == host.bottom                (optional pull, 750)

whose constants change only on chrome mutations and content
measurements, never during a keyboard leg. The solver therefore derives
the wrapper's target in the SAME layout solve and animation transaction
that moves the dock, whichever authority seats it.

Seat authority: the guide wherever it is trustworthy (chrome visible,
iOS <= 26); the notification constant from #10518 on iOS 27, while the
chrome is hidden, under the remote ios-keyboard-dock-rebuild-revert kill
switch, and under the DEBUG rebuild forces — which makes the host's kill
switch and defaults parameters meaningful again. The tracker keeps
healing the keyboard model (height and visibility) after detached
transitions on every OS. The default-path UITest expects the layoutGuide
source again.

* test(ios): gate the default dock-seat expectation on the runtime OS

The default seat is the system guide on iOS <= 26 and the notification
constant on iOS 27, so the default-path UITest derives its expected
keyboardDockSource from the simulator's OS version instead of assuming
the guide.

The guide-locked rewrite (#10594/#10687) left iOS 27 on a notification
seat that consumes the full keyboard notification stream: did-frame
disagreement reseats and steady-state tracker re-derivations. iOS 27
misreports keyboard frames outside the will transaction (#10518 recorded
this when it quarantined the rebuilt path away from that OS), so those
corrections moved a perfectly settled composer bar after toggles - the
regression against the #9958/#10006 path that shipped will-only and was
rated perfect in dogfood.

Restore that contract, scoped so iOS <= 26 behavior is untouched:
- iOS 27 seats ignore keyboardDidChangeFrame entirely and skip the
  steady-state tracker heal in layoutSubviews (attach recovery in
  didMoveToWindow stays - it fixes real workspace-switch wedges and did
  not exist on the old path).
- Interrupted legs rebase from live presentation frames before the next
  will leg (the #10006 reversal contract), folding the live dock bottom
  into the seat constraint and re-deriving clip and wrapper models from
  that edge before stripping animations.
- TerminalKeyboardSeatSelection (replacing the stale, unused
  TerminalKeyboardDockPathSelection) owns the seat decision table:
  guide seat on iOS <= 26, will-only notification seat on iOS 27+,
  full-stream notification seat behind the iOS <= 26 kill switch.
- CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_IOS27_KEYBOARD_SEAT (DEBUG) runs the exact iOS 27
  path on any simulator OS; the dock probe reports keyboardSeatWillOnly.

* fix(ios): unbreak the iOS build after the workspace-groups merge

Two iOS-only compile errors from #10662 (the Mac target builds; both
break every iOS build, so main's iOS lane is red):

- MobileWorkspaceAggregation assigns a MobileWorkspaceGroupPreview.ID to
  anchorWorkspaceID, which is typed MobileWorkspacePreview.ID. Convert
  through rawValue, the same mapping the type's own initializer uses for
  exactly this empty-header fallback.
- WorkspaceListTableCoordinator.groupActionCapabilities(for:) is
  fileprivate but called from the context-menu actions extension in
  WorkspaceListTableCoordinator+Actions.swift, a different file. Make it
  internal.

* test(ios): iOS 27 will-only keyboard seat must keep a settled dock still

Red half of the regression pair. Forces the iOS 27 keyboard seat via
CMUX_UITEST_FORCE_IOS27_KEYBOARD_SEAT and asserts the seat reports the
will-only contract, a settled composer bar does not move without a will
notification, and rapid reversals keep dock and render pinned. Red today
because the force env and the will-only seat do not exist: iOS 27 hosts
consume the full notification stream, whose non-will frames misreport on
that OS and hop the settled dock.

* review: poll the settled dock over a window; document the attach-heal trust tradeoff

CodeRabbit findings on #10810: the post-settle stability check now samples
the dock edge five times over 1.5s and requires every sample at the settled
edge (a transient hop between two single samples could previously pass), and
healKeyboardModelFromTracker documents why the will-only seat keeps ATTACH
recovery despite the tracker recording did frames iOS 27 can misreport
(settled end frame at attach, next will leg corrects a bad record, and
skipping recovery wedges the dock after workspace switches mid-transition).
