Preview workspace content while the focused workspace rail moves with arrows or j/k, and while hovering workspace rows. Enter commits and focuses the pane. Esc restores the previous workspace and returns pane focus. Preview focus and geometry stay client-local. Workspace clicks keep existing immediate activation behavior. Hosted focused Linux and macOS verification passed: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/32839834807. Dogfood binary: cmux-tui/target/hosted/718f8649d944dcd34735026ece34d74741a3e288/cmux-tui --session verify-718f8649.

Summary by cubic

Previewing the selected workspace in the workspace rail now renders its content in the pane area during keyboard (arrows/j/k) navigation and while hovering rows, without changing client focus. Previously the rail only changed the highlight.

  • Enter commits the preview and focuses the pane.
  • Clicking a pane commits the preview and focuses the clicked pane.
  • Right/middle clicks, context menus, and wheel events over panes commit the preview before pane handling.
  • Esc cancels the preview and restores the prior workspace and pane focus.
  • Leaving the rail, toggling the sidebar or its view, or running a prefixed command cancels any preview.
  • Hover previews only apply when the workspace rail has keyboard focus.
  • Previews stay client-local, do not change the mux’s active workspace, and suppress terminal geometry claims while active.
  • If the origin or target workspace disappears during a preview, selection realigns or cancels to stay consistent.
  • Clicking a workspace still activates it immediately.
  • Keyboard and mouse docs updated for j/k navigation and hover preview; added Japanese versions.

Bug Fixes

  • Clears any active preview when the session presentation resets.

Written for commit 2fed9d4. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workspace rail now supports transient previews. Selection updates local workspace state without committing mux focus. Enter commits the preview, while Escape and other navigation changes cancel it. Tests and English and Japanese documentation cover the workflow.

Changes

Workspace Preview Workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preview state and lifecycle
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs
The application tracks preview origin and target workspaces. It supports local previewing, commitment, cancellation, restoration, and reconciliation after tree updates.
Sidebar and hover interactions
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs
Keyboard selection, hover selection, Enter, Escape, focus changes, sidebar actions, visibility changes, pane clicks, pointer events, and layout changes now update preview state.
Tests and interaction documentation
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs, cmux-tui/docs/*
Tests cover keyboard, hover, pane-click, pointer, and reconciliation behavior. English and Japanese documentation describe preview, commitment, cancellation, and sidebar interactions.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2fed9

This change adds client-local workspace previews, but certain pane interactions can leave preview focus stuck and misroute later keyboard input, while a session replacement during preview can carry stale state into the new session and suppress terminal focus or geometry reporting. These are bounded but concrete merge-readiness risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (3 skipped: 2 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS. The complete diff from merge base f78182c to HEAD changes only one Rust file (cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs) and five Markdown documentation files. It contains no .swift paths or Swift changes. The Swift actor-isolation check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff against origin/main changes only Rust and documentation files. It changes no .swift files, so it cannot introduce or expand the Swift blocking or timing primitives covered by this check.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only cmux-tui TUI code, documentation, and packaging/test files. In the feature-range diff, neither Sources/TerminalController.swift nor Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift changed. The diff contains no browser.*, WebKit wait, processV2Command, socketWorkerMethods, or related routing changes. The browser automation check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes Rust and Markdown files only. The complete feature-range diff contains no .swift, Xcode project, or Swift package paths, and it adds no RestorableAgentSessionIndex, agent-history file parsing, or related synchronous loader call. The Swift-specific expensive synchronous load check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff contains one Rust source file (cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs) and Markdown documentation only. It contains no production Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript changes, so the cache-substitution check does not apply. The changed behavior is transient TUI preview state, not a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot cache substitution.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only Rust code in cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs and Markdown documentation. The custom rule covers TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts. The added Rust diff contains no sleep, timer, polling, delayed dispatch, or wall-clock wait. Existing timing code in app.rs is not changed by this pull request.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only Rust production code and Markdown documentation; it adds no Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, or shell code. The new workspace-preview logic uses bounded constant-time access and linear scans over tree.workspaces (position/any) at cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs:17090-17167. These scans are not nested, do not rescan once per batch target, and do not add sorting, filtering, in-memory joins, or a slower-than-linear algorithm for the approximately 1000-workspace case.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The pull request does not change any Swift files. The exact pull-request diff against origin/main contains only cmux-tui Rust and Markdown files, and the latest commit delta also reports no *.swift paths. Therefore, the Swift concurrency modernization check is inapplicable, and it introduces no stated Swift async-pattern failure.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff against origin/main changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs and Markdown documentation files. It introduces no Swift changes, async Swift functions, or @concurrent annotations. Therefore the Swift-specific failure conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS — the pull request introduces no Swift or SwiftPM package changes. The complete diff from the feature branch base contains only Rust, Python, Markdown, and Python test files, so the Swift package-boundary rule is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS. The merge-base diff contains only one Rust source file and five Markdown documentation files. It contains no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or Xcode project/workspace changes. Therefore, none of the SwiftPM lockfile failure conditions apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui Rust and Markdown files. git diff main...HEAD lists six changed paths, and the changed Swift-path query returns no files. Therefore the Swift logging rules do not apply, and the diff adds or materially changes no Swift logging.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff adds workspace preview state and handling in app.rs, plus navigation documentation and tests. The production additions do not add or materially change user-facing errors, alerts, command output, API error bodies, or recovery copy. Added literals in app.rs are test-only workspace names and assertions. The documentation contains navigation instructions and links, not error text or restricted diagnostics.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS — The diff changes Rust TUI behavior and static cmux-tui/docs files. It contains no Swift, string catalog, web/, API, metadata, or changelog changes. The web TUI page links to these files as source documentation; it does not render them as localized web markdown. The added Japanese files are static documentation and do not trigger the rule's Swift or next-intl requirements.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull request does not change SwiftUI code. The full feature range changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs and Markdown documentation files. The implementation file is Rust, and the SwiftUI state/layout token search returned no matches in the diff. Therefore the SwiftUI-specific failure conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS — The check is not applicable. The PR diff from merge-base f78182c to HEAD changes only one Rust file (cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs) and five Markdown files. It changes no Swift, SwiftUI, AppKit, Xcode, or Swift package files. The changed additions also contain no Swift timing, blocking, observer, or side-channel constructs covered by the rule.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS: The complete PR diff from merge base f78182c contains only cmux-tui Rust and documentation changes. It contains no Swift changes and does not introduce or materially change any cmux-owned auxiliary window. Therefore the close-shortcut rule is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

All six changed paths are intentional source or documentation files: app.rs, the docs index, English keyboard/mouse docs, and linked Japanese translations. The diff contains no artifact directories, logs, media, archives, caches, build output, or scratch paths. The two new Japanese files are durable documentation linked from cmux-tui/docs/README.md and their English counterparts. All files use normal 100644 modes, and git diff --check reports no issues.

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

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request patch changes only Rust and documentation files. The complete diff from the merge-base to HEAD contains no Swift file under a production Sources/ path, so it cannot add a test or debug seam covered by this check.

P1 Preview target removal desynchronizes selection

When an authoritative tree update removes the workspace being previewed, this branch clears workspace_preview without aligning sidebar_workspace_selection to tree.active_workspace, causing the sidebar to highlight or expand a different workspace from the rendered pane and subsequent rail navigation to start from the wrong row.

20024-20041: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Right-click, middle-click, and wheel input on a previewed pane never commit or cancel the workspace preview.

Hover or arrow-key navigation on a focused WorkspaceRail sets self.workspace_preview and updates self.tree.active_workspace to the previewed target, without touching self.focus. commit_workspace_preview_for_pane_click() now runs before left-click pane handling, but it runs only in that one branch.

The right mouse-button handler here calls open_context_menu directly. open_context_menu, build_context_menu, and activate_menu never reference workspace_preview. The middle-button handler and the scroll handlers have the same gap. So: hover to preview workspace B, right-click a pane in B to rename or close a tab, and the mutation runs correctly against B, but workspace_preview stays set and self.focus stays FocusTarget::WorkspaceRail.

Two visible consequences follow. First, claim_active_terminal_geometry keeps returning early (line 16069), so terminal geometry claims and client-focus reporting stop for the session. Second, once the context menu closes, self.focus is still WorkspaceRail, so the next keystroke the user types routes through handle_builtin_sidebar_key (sidebar navigation) instead of reaching the pane, because workspace_sidebar_focused() still reports true.

Move the existing pane-click commit check up to the top of handle_mouse_with_sequence (or add it to the right-button, middle-button, and scroll branches) so any mouse interaction with a previewed pane commits the preview the same way the left-click path already does.

🐛 Proposed fix: commit the preview before any pane interaction, not just left-click

11417-11496: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

reset_session_presentation must clear workspace_preview on machine-session replacement.

claim_active_terminal_geometry returns early whenever self.workspace_preview.is_some(), before it calls report_client_focus() or self.session.claim_terminal_geometry(surface). That gate is correct only if every path that replaces the presented session or moves focus away from FocusTarget::WorkspaceRail clears workspace_preview first.

install_prepared_machine_session calls reset_session_presentation(tree) on every machine switch, reconnect, and failover, but that function resets many other rail-selection fields (sidebar_workspace_selection, workspace_rail_selection, tabs_rail_selection, drag, etc.) without resetting workspace_preview. workspace_preview can only be set while the user is on WorkspaceRail, and a queued machine switch can settle asynchronously while the user is still on that rail with a preview active. After that settlement, claim_active_terminal_geometry silently stops calling report_client_focus() and claim_terminal_geometry for the entire new session, until the user leaves and re-enters the workspace rail (or presses Escape while still on it). No test in this PR exercises a machine switch with an active preview.

Add the missing reset:

🌐 Web query:

Search the public manaflow-ai/cmux repository for cmux-tui/AGENTS.md, cmux-tui/docs/README.md, keyboard.ja.md, mouse.ja.md, and any documentation localization policy. Determine whether cmux-tui/docs is explicitly English-only and whether Japanese Markdown files are unsupported or intentionally maintained.

💡 Result:

Based on the public manaflow-ai/cmux repository and official documentation, the cmux-tui/docs directory is not strictly English-only, but it does prioritize English for its technical specification and implementation-level documentation [1][2][3]. While specific Japanese Markdown files like keyboard.ja.md or mouse.ja.md were not found directly within the cmux-tui/docs path, the project maintains an intentional approach to localization [4][5][6]. The project supports internationalization through dedicated paths and external documentation platforms. For instance, the repository contains a README.ja.md [5], and official cmux documentation (accessible via cmux.com) provides Japanese translations for key technical topics, such as keyboard shortcuts and TUI concepts [7][4]. The presence of localized content in the web/data directory [6] and on the project website demonstrates that Japanese support is an intentionally maintained feature rather than an oversight. Users should look to the cmux.com documentation portal for the most comprehensive localized guides, as the GitHub-based cmux-tui/docs directory primarily serves as a technical reference for protocol and implementation details [1][2][3].

🌐 Web query:

Search manaflow-ai/cmux pull request 8710 and the exact paths cmux-tui/docs/keyboard.ja.md, cmux-tui/docs/mouse.ja.md, cmux-tui/docs/README.md. Find the PR diff, review context, AGENTS.md guidance, or repository documentation that states whether cmux-tui/docs supports localized Markdown files or requires a dedicated localization system.

💡 Result:

Pull request 8710 in the manaflow-ai/cmux repository is titled Add pane controls and single-terminal attach to cmux TUI [1]. It is referenced by other PRs (such as #8769) for its modifications to run_with_machine_updates and TUI lifecycle wiring [1]. Regarding cmux-tui/docs and localized Markdown files: 1. Localization System Requirement: There is no stated requirement in the repository documentation that cmux-tui/docs supports or mandates a dedicated localization system for Markdown files. While some areas of the wider cmux project (such as the app UI, sidebar extensions, and localized strings in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings) implement localization (e.g., for English and Japanese) [2][3], the cmux-tui documentation directory does not follow this pattern [4]. 2. Localized File Paths: While the search results show a README.ja.md in the root directory [5] and a frontends/README.ja.md [6], the specific paths cmux-tui/docs/keyboard.ja.md, cmux-tui/docs/mouse.ja.md, and cmux-tui/docs/README.md were not identified as existing within the cmux-tui/docs/ directory structure [4]. The repository maintains canonical English documentation in cmux-tui/docs/ (e.g., keyboard.md, mouse.md, README.md) [7][4][8]. 3. AGENTS.md Guidance: No specific guidance regarding localization requirements for the cmux-tui/docs directory was found in the provided sources. Localization efforts in the repository, such as those in CmuxExtensionKit, involve updating localized strings in Xcode catalogs rather than localizing Markdown documentation files directly [3].

Remove the per-file Japanese Markdown translations from cmux-tui/docs/.

cmux-tui/docs/ is the canonical English documentation set. Existing Japanese content elsewhere does not provide a localization owner or synchronization mechanism for these files. These links create a manually maintained documentation tree that can drift from keyboard.md and mouse.md.

Superseded by PR #10969, which carries this preview workspace rail behavior forward and adds the unified pane-input and scroll-restoration path. Closing this stacked predecessor to keep one canonical implementation.
