Closes #10034

Summary

A configured TUI command such as nvim cannot render when launched from cmux’s GUI process without a PTY. The old preferred-editor path spawned it with silenced standard streams and left the editor and plugin children alive.

This change:

  • detects known terminal editors before Process.run, including absolute paths, shell assignments, and common env wrappers;
  • falls back through the existing system opener instead of spawning a detached TUI process;
  • keeps the existing GUI-editor launch and failure fallback behavior unchanged;
  • covers the exact no-spawn behavior with a temporary executable named nvim, plus command-shape detection cases.

Regression commits

  1. 1a9ff0aad8 — failing behavior test only (the test fails against the parent because the helper is spawned).
  2. f8c4053b18 — detection guard and focused detection coverage.

Validation

  • arch -arm64 swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces --filter PreferredEditorServiceTests — 7 Swift Testing tests passed.
  • The test-only commit was run independently and failed at terminalEditorFallsBackWithoutLaunchingTheCommand, proving the regression.
  • git diff --check, PBX test-wiring lint, PBX normalization check, workspace package-group check, and Package.resolved policy check passed.
  • No local app/Xcode build or XCUITest was run, per task instructions.

The separate open PR #5765 adds opt-in terminal-editor routing in a terminal tab; it does not change the existing app.preferredEditor launch path. Open PRs #6946/#5868 address GUI-editor PATH behavior and are orthogonal.

Summary by cubic

Prevents configured TUI editors like nvim from being spawned without a PTY and left running by the GUI preferred-editor path: the command is detected before launch and the file opens with the system default handler instead. Fixes #10034.

  • Detects terminal editors at the executable position, including absolute/quoted paths, shell assignments, env options, and exec/command/nice/sudo wrappers.
  • Re-tokenizes env -S and --split-string payloads and skips value-consuming wrapper options like exec -a, nice -n, and sudo -u/-C.
  • Treats emacs -nw and --no-window-system as TUI while keeping plain emacs graphical.
  • Keeps GUI-editor launch and the existing failure fallback unchanged; adds detection and no-spawn tests.
  • Annotates .github/workflows/cmux-skill-contract.yml to require a GitHub-hosted runner for the browser skill job.

Written for commit cba9134. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PreferredEditorService now detects terminal editor commands, including wrapped and terminal-mode commands. It rejects those commands before spawning a process and falls back to the system opener. Tests cover command parsing and non-launch behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c1d5b

The change reroutes detected terminal editors to the system opener, but env --split-string and the documented long Emacs terminal-mode option can still bypass detection and launch a TUI without a PTY, potentially leaving detached editor processes behind. Merge readiness is moderate until these bounded detection gaps are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS. The production change remains an explicitly @MainActor PreferredEditorService, which is an intentional UI service and was already isolated before this pull request. The added parser and static editor-name set are used only from that main-actor service and do not create background access. No async service protocol, shared mutable Sendable reference type, or UI-bound store access from a background context was introduced. The termination callback uses Task { @mainactor in ... }, preserving the explicit boundary. The other changes are tests.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS — The production diff adds deterministic shell-command parsing and an early fallback for terminal editors. It adds no semaphore, blocking wait, sleep, delayed dispatch, synchronization polling, main-queue sync, or manual lock. The existing production Process.terminationHandler, Task, and Process.run code is unchanged. The added withCheckedContinuation and the existing Task.sleep occur only in test code; the sleep was already present on main.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only PreferredEditorService.swift and its tests. The full diff from merge base f9fffa658fc07ac3249bb353b3f616bf2981e2d4 contains no browser automation files, browser.* commands, WebKit/AppKit waits, socket-worker routing, or policy-test changes. The browser automation off-main rule is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The production diff only adds synchronous command tokenization and terminal-editor classification in PreferredEditorService, then chooses the existing system opener. It adds no agent-history loader, transcript/trajectory/workstream JSON or JSONL read, directory scan, per-record syscall loop, or large-file parsing. The only FileManager calls are in the new test, and no RestorableAgentSessionIndex, SharedLiveAgentIndex, or Task.detached call is introduced or moved. The @MainActor path performs only the bounded command check before process launch.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The production diff only adds terminal-editor command parsing and a pre-spawn fallback in PreferredEditorService. It does not replace a fresh authoritative read with a cache, and it does not modify persistence, history, undo, or snapshot paths. The existing editor.resolvedCommand read remains in place. Therefore cold-cache and stale-cache handling is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff from the repository merge-base changes only two Swift files: PreferredEditorService.swift and its Swift test file. It introduces no TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or non-Swift build/runtime changes. Therefore, the runtime-no-hacky-sleeps.md failure condition does not apply.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only preferred-editor command parsing and tests. The production path performs a linear character tokenization and a linear scan of the command tokens; the Set and literal option lists are fixed-size. The env -S payload parsing operates on the configured command string, not on workspaces, sessions, files, rows, or another scalable record collection. No nested per-record scan, batch rescan, hot-path collection rebuild, or in-memory data-store join was introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS — the PR does not introduce or materially expand a flagged legacy concurrency pattern. The production diff adds synchronous command parsing and an early system-opener fallback. The existing Process.terminationHandler and Task { @mainactor in ... } callback hop are unchanged from the PR base and remain an allowed legacy callback-boundary pattern. The only new async constructs are in tests: withCheckedContinuation waits for the existing opener callback, and the prior test-only sleep was removed. No DispatchQueue, Combine state, or new completion-handler API was added.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS — The pull-request diff adds only synchronous command parsing and a synchronous @MainActor open(_:) guard. It adds no nonisolated async function and no @concurrent annotation. The Task { @mainactor in ... } termination fallback already existed in the parent revision and explicitly hops to the actor for the UI-bound system opener. The added async methods are test methods; they do not introduce a production CPU/file/network-heavy async helper called from UI isolation.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS. The production change is in Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Sources/CmuxWorkspaces, which is an existing SwiftPM target. Its tests are in the matching CmuxWorkspacesTests test target. The new command parsing and terminal-editor detection use Foundation and injected protocols, with no AppKit, SwiftUI, Ghostty, or app-global dependency in the changed logic. The app target only imports and composes PreferredEditorService; the diff adds no production code under the app target's root Sources/ path. Therefore the diff does not introduce the package-boundary failure condition.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS. The PR merge base is f9fffa6, and the diff to c1d5b7c changes only PreferredEditorService.swift and its tests. It changes no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, Xcode project/workspace, or workflow files. Therefore none of the SwiftPM lockfile failure conditions apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS — The complete PR diff adds no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, Logger, or diagnostic stdout/stderr logging. The existing Process.standardOutput and Process.standardError assignments remain unchanged. The added .write(...) creates a test executable fixture, and the test-only file marker is allowed test behavior, not production diagnostics. No secrets or personal data are logged.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS — The production diff adds terminal-editor detection and routes those commands to the existing system opener. It adds no user-facing error, alert, command output, API error body, or recovery text. The only new diagnostic terms are in source comments and tests, which the rule allows. The fallback opener itself emits no error copy.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only PreferredEditorService.swift and its tests. The production additions contain editor/configuration command tokens and developer-facing comments/documentation; they add no user-facing Swift UI, alert, error, menu, or command text. No .xcstrings, .strings, Info.plist, web message, or locale files changed. The test descriptions and fixtures are covered by the rule's test exemption.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only PreferredEditorService.swift and its tests. The source imports Foundation, CmuxSettings, and CmuxTestSupport, not SwiftUI. The diff adds no ObservableObject, @Published, @Observable, geometry readers, lazy/list row stores, or render-time state mutation. The SwiftUI state-layout check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds a local terminal-editor classification and an early fallback in the existing PreferredEditorService owner. The diff adds no sleeps, delayed dispatch, polling, locks, observers, mutable state, side channels, duplicate entrypoint wiring, or new UI lifecycle owner. The existing @MainActor service, Process termination handling, and test synchronization are unchanged. The static let name set is immutable, and the new tests verify the shared service path.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS — The PR changes only preferred-editor command parsing, launch fallback logic, and test fixtures in PreferredEditorService.swift and its test file. The diff introduces no NSWindow, NSPanel, NSWindowController, SwiftUI Window, WindowGroup, close-shortcut handling, or auxiliary-window identifier assignment. The auxiliary-window rule is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

The diff changes only two intentional paths: the hand-written PreferredEditorService.swift source and its PreferredEditorServiceTests.swift test. No logs, screenshots, recordings, caches, build output, dependency checkout, hidden scratch directory, or broad artifact directory enters source control. The test's temporary directory is created at runtime and removed; it is not a changed repository path.

Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Sources/CmuxWorkspaces/FileOpen/PreferredEditorService.swift, but it adds no #if DEBUG or test-build guard, no debug/test-seam-named member, and no visibility widening with a wrapper accessor. The added isTerminalEditorCommand helper and terminalEditorNames support real production behavior and the helper is called by open at line 187. The test-only additions remain under Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Tests/** and use @testable import. The existing CmuxTestSupport capture seam is unchanged.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

PASS — the production change adds no ambient global state. The diff adds PreferredEditorService.terminalEditorNames as a static constant and static detection helpers at lines 33–123. The enclosing type is an existing constructable public struct with injected collaborators and instance open(_:) behavior at lines 140–214. It is not a namespace type, and its API is not mostly static. No top-level function, mutable global variable, singleton, or app-delegate state was added.

Greptile Summary

This PR detects configured terminal editors and redirects them to the system opener rather than launching them without a PTY. The wrapper fix remains incomplete for options that take separate operands.

  • Adds terminal-editor command parsing for paths, assignments, env, common wrappers, and terminal-mode Emacs.
  • Adds focused detection and no-spawn regression tests.
  • Preserves the existing GUI-editor launch and failure fallback behavior.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because operand-taking wrapper options can still bypass terminal-editor detection and launch an unusable detached process.

The new wrapper parser does not consume the operand to options such as exec -a, so a valid configured command can still be misclassified and sent through the no-PTY shell launch path.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Sources/CmuxWorkspaces/FileOpen/PreferredEditorService.swift Adds terminal-editor detection and system fallback, but wrapper option parsing can still mistake an option operand for the wrapped executable.
Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Tests/CmuxWorkspacesTests/FileOpen/PreferredEditorServiceTests.swift Adds focused command-shape and no-spawn coverage, but lacks operand-taking wrapper cases such as exec -a myeditor nvim.

Reviewed: known terminal editors now go through the system handler instead of spawning detached. It's a denylist, so micro, emacsclient -t and similar could be a follow-up. The CLA failures were stale runs from Sep 1, so I re-ran them, merged main in and turned on auto-merge. Thanks :)
