Spike toward moving Cloud VMs off the Go cmuxd-remote daemon onto the cmux-tui remote daemon (manual-IO rendering on macOS, snapshot-based reconnects, drag-from-right-pane attach). Design: docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md. Spike automation: scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh.

Proven end to end against a live Blaxel sandbox

  1. Static x86_64-unknown-linux-musl cmux-tui (built from this branch's base main commit on a Blacksmith testbox, 1m47s warm) runs unmodified inside a blaxel/base-image microVM, injected through the same gzip+base64 filesystem channel web/services/vms/drivers/blaxel.ts uses today (chunked: the ~30 MB encoded payload exceeds the sandbox API body cap).
  2. cmux-tui server start --session cloud --remote-ws 0.0.0.0:1337 --remote-ws-insecure-bind serves /v1/link behind the sandbox's private preview: the preview token rides as ?bl_preview_token=... and the Rust ws dialer passes the URL through verbatim, so the single exposed HTTPS port needs no header support and no adapter. No token: 401.
  3. Enrollment over that URL (invitation created in-VM, remote connect --invite-file from the Mac, approval in-VM), then the reconnect evidence:
{"type": "process-write-accepted", "process": "e979c629-...", "write_id": 2}
through_sequence: 10
'(none):~# echo SPIKE-MARKER-42 $(uname -m) $(date -u +%H:%M:%S)'
'SPIKE-MARKER-42 x86_64 05:56:32'          <- written before the client was SIGKILLed
'(none):~# echo RECONNECTED-AFTER-KILL $(date -u +%H:%M:%S)'
'RECONNECTED-AFTER-KILL 05:57:19'          <- fresh connection, same PTY (pid 54)
'(none):~#'

The state came back through snapshot-process-terminal (structured ghostty-vt rows + through_sequence), not raw byte replay. The interactive TUI (remote connect) was also driven over the same preview URL from a scripted PTY. An Aug-20 client binary interoperated with the main-tip daemon (both protocol 5).

Local repro without Blaxel credentials

scripts/spike-cmux-tui-local.sh runs the same protocol loop on one machine: an isolated headless server start --remote-ws 127.0.0.1:<port> daemon stands in for the VM, the machine enrolls as a client device, and the self-checking evidence step spawns a PTY bash over workspace RPC, writes a marker, SIGKILLs the client link, connects fresh, and asserts the new connection's snapshot still carries the pre-kill marker with an advanced through_sequence. Verified against a debug build (through_sequence 4 -> 7 across the kill). cargo test -p cmux-remote --lib (488) and -p cmux-remote-protocol (25) pass.

Both spike scripts now spawn with lifetime: "detached": a workspace-lifetime process rides the client's workspace lease and dies on exactly the connection drop the spike must survive.

Not proven here

Pre-approved invitations (approval today needs an in-VM exec by the control plane), the attach-endpoint wiring, the macOS manual-IO pump against a remote connect --headless socket (that pump exists on feat-tui-manual-io), and e2b/daytona/freestyle image rebakes. The design doc sequences these.

No Rust or web runtime code changes in this PR; it adds two scripts and one doc.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added a design document covering remote terminal deployment, authentication, reconnection, persistent state, attachment, cross-daemon dragging, macOS integration, and rollout considerations.
  • New Features

    • Added workflows for creating, connecting to, testing, and removing remote terminal sessions locally or in a cloud sandbox.
    • Added validation for terminal snapshots, reconnection, session persistence, and restoration after connection interruption.

A static musl cmux-tui runs as the remote daemon inside a Blaxel sandbox,
injected through the same filesystem+exec channel blaxel.ts uses for
cmuxd-remote, and serves /v1/link behind the sandbox's private preview URL.
A Mac client enrolls and attaches over that single HTTPS port (preview token
as a query parameter; the Rust ws dialer passes the URL through verbatim),
survives a SIGKILLed client, and restores terminal state on reconnect from
the structured ghostty-vt snapshot rather than raw byte replay.

scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh automates the whole loop (create, inject,
daemon, preview, enroll, evidence, destroy) and was verified against a live
sandbox. docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md is the migration design: per-provider
replacement of cmuxd-remote, attach-endpoint auth integration, the macOS
manual-IO surface path, and the drag-from-right-pane terminal catalog.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a design document for replacing the cloud Go daemon with cmux-tui. Adds local and Blaxel spike scripts for deployment, enrollment, attachment, reconnect validation, and cleanup.

Changes

Cloud remote daemon

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote daemon protocol
docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md
Defines the replacement protocol, Noise authentication, restricted WebSocket routes, replay cursors, snapshots, daemon generations, process lifetime, and the static musl artifact.
Cloud deployment and enrollment
docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md, scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh
Defines provider startup changes, persistent daemon state, attach routes, enrollment invitations, device-key reuse, revocation behavior, and Blaxel binary deployment.
Attachment and rollout
docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md
Defines Ghostty manual I/O integration, terminal catalogs, drag payloads, multiple attachments, rollout phases, and remaining implementation work.
Local and Blaxel spike validation
scripts/spike-cmux-tui-local.sh, scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh, docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md
Adds daemon startup, enrollment approval, PTY reconnect evidence, interactive attachment, and teardown workflows for local and Blaxel environments.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fd473

The PR adds cloud-daemon spike scripts and documentation; the scripts currently expose an enrollment identifier in output and rely on fixed waits that can make validation flaky or report success prematurely. The change is mergeable with explicit follow-up to redact the identifier and synchronize on completion signals.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 10 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from the merge base changes only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two Bash scripts. It adds no .swift, Xcode project, or Swift workspace files. Therefore, it introduces no production Swift actor-isolation changes.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff contains only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two Bash scripts. The diff contains no .swift, .m, or .mm files, so it introduces no production Swift blocking or timing primitive covered by the check.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS — The PR diff adds only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md, scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh, and scripts/spike-cmux-tui-local.sh. It does not modify Sources/TerminalController.swift, ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, or policy tests. The changed content contains no browser socket commands or WebKit/AppKit routing changes. The custom check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff adds only one Markdown document and two Bash spike scripts. It adds no Swift files or production Swift call sites, and it does not add or move any synchronous agent-history load onto an interactive or main-actor path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff adds only one Markdown design document and two Bash spike scripts. The changed-path audit found no Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript production files. The snapshot references in the scripts are test/evidence harness operations, not substitutions of authoritative reads with cached values. The custom check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS — the pull request adds no production runtime code. The only fixed sleeps are in the two explicitly named spike scripts, which are manual, self-checking evidence harnesses for daemon startup, enrollment, PTY output, and reconnect snapshots. The documented production integration remains an open item, and the design document adds no executable delay logic. This matches the rule's test-only scaffolding exception.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff adds one design document and two standalone spike scripts. It does not change production Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or runtime paths. The shell loops are bounded polling loops (50 and 30 iterations), a single linear pass over upload chunks, and cleanup over two fixed process names. Snapshot parsing uses an explicitly sized 100x30 PTY and does not rescan a scalable collection per target. No rule-defined complexity failure is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff from merge base 8ff9d3d contains only two shell scripts and one Markdown document. It changes no Swift, Objective-C, or Objective-C++ files, and the added files contain none of the named Swift concurrency patterns. Therefore, the check's Swift-code failure conditions are not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The complete PR range changes only one Markdown document and two Bash scripts. It changes no .swift files and introduces no Swift concurrency annotations or async call sites. The cmux Swift @concurrent`` check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS: The complete pull-request diff adds only one Markdown design document and two Bash spike scripts. It contains no .swift files or Package.swift manifests, so it introduces no production Swift target-boundary change covered by this check.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff contains only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two spike scripts. It contains no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or Xcode project changes, and no SwiftPM dependency changes. The SwiftPM lockfile policy is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

The changed production Swift files add no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, Logger, or ad hoc diagnostic file logging calls. The changed reconnect notice is intended CLI user output written by the existing shell note path, which the rule allows. New stdout/stderr and file writes occur only in test fixtures. No changed log or notice contains secrets or personal data.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only one design document and two standalone spike scripts. It does not modify production runtime, UI, or API error handling. The document is explicitly allowed by the rule, and the scripts are developer/operational tooling. Their provider names, flags, identifiers, and credential handling are not introduced into a production user-facing error surface.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS: The diff adds only an internal design document and two executable spike/operational scripts. No Swift UI, string catalog, web UI, API, metadata, changelog, or locale files changed. The document is under the repository's internal docs/ tree and is not wired into the localized web documentation routes; the scripts are developer tooling with operational console output. These are allowed by the policy as operational docs/developer tooling, and the PR explicitly states that production runtime code is unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only one Markdown document and two Bash scripts (+568 lines). The diff contains no Swift or SwiftUI paths and introduces none of the checked patterns. The SwiftUI state/layout rule therefore does not apply.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS: The custom rule applies to Swift architecture changes. The PR diff from the baseline changes only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two Bash scripts; it contains no .swift files or Swift lifecycle code. The polling and sleeps are in spike scripts, not Swift architecture paths, so this check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two Bash scripts. The diff contains no changed Swift file or Swift window implementation. Swift-related names in the document are prose references to existing or planned integration, not added NSWindow, NSPanel, WindowGroup, or auxiliary-window identifier code. The custom check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

The diff adds only three deliberate source-control paths: docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md and two executable Bash spike scripts. The diff contains no screenshots, recordings, logs, binaries, caches, dependency checkouts, build output, or forbidden scratch directories. The scripts create cache/log/temp files only at runtime under the user cache or VM /tmp; those generated files are not added to the diff. The design document is an intentional documentation artifact, which the rule permits.

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

Explanation

The pull request changes only one Markdown file and two shell scripts. The diff contains zero Swift files and no Swift diff hunks, so it cannot introduce a test/debug seam in a production Sources/ path.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only one Markdown document and two Bash scripts. The complete diff from the base revision contains no .swift or .swiftinterface files and no production Swift source changes. The Swift ambient-global-state rule is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives a detailed summary, rationale, testing results, validated scenarios, and known limitations. It does not use the required template headings and omits the review trigger and checklist. No demo video is included, but the pull request adds documentation and spike scripts rather than production UI behavior.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace time-based synchronization with completion signals.

These sleep calls and the enrollment polling loop sequence daemon startup, enrollment, and PTY output by elapsed time. A slow sandbox can run a status check or snapshot before the required state is ready.

If no invitation appears after 30 polls, the script still prints done and exits successfully. Use explicit daemon, enrollment, and write-completion signals. Return nonzero when enrollment does not complete under a cancellation-aware deadline.

As per coding guidelines and path instructions, production script behavior must not use fixed waits or polling as synchronization; apply runtime-no-hacky-sleeps.md.

Also applies to: 154-163, 180-186

Comment thread scripts/spike-cmux-tui-blaxel.sh Outdated
scripts/spike-cmux-tui-local.sh runs the whole transport loop on one machine:
an isolated headless server start --remote-ws daemon stands in for the cloud
VM, this machine enrolls as a client device, and the self-checking evidence
step spawns a PTY bash over workspace RPC, writes a marker, SIGKILLs the
client link, connects fresh, and asserts the new connection's snapshot still
carries the pre-kill marker with an advanced through_sequence (structured
restore, not raw replay). Verified against a debug build; cargo test -p
cmux-remote --lib (488) and -p cmux-remote-protocol (25) pass.

Both spike scripts now spawn with lifetime detached: a workspace-lifetime
process rides the client's workspace lease and dies on the exact connection
drop the spike must survive. docs/cloud-cmux-tui-daemon.md records the local
repro and that lease semantic.
Reject path-separator names before they reach the state root, fail up when
enrollment is never requested instead of printing done, SIGKILL the
enrollment-era client link in the Blaxel evidence step so the reconnect claim
matches the script, and print the attach wrapper instead of the token-bearing
route. Local loop re-verified end to end after the changes.

fd4730a addresses the review findings: name validation in both spike scripts, hard failure when enrollment is never requested, SIGKILL of the enrollment-era client link in the Blaxel evidence step (parity with scripts/spike-cmux-tui-local.sh, which was added in 0381a44 and verified end to end locally), and the attach wrapper printed instead of the token-bearing route. The remaining fixed sleeps stay: they pace evidence output in a throwaway spike tool whose final assertions gate the exit code, so a slow host fails loudly rather than passing silently.

…kspaces project them (local + cloud, one drag/drop path) (#10887)

* cloud: one bulky free machine with a 5-day window, Pro gets five

Plan shape: the free plan now includes one full-size machine (24 GB
default and cap — the free machine demos the product; the paywall is
the window and the count, not the machine's usefulness) and Pro includes
five machines (24 GB default, 32 GB cap). 24576 joins the memory picker
options. All numbers stay env-overridable per plan.

Free access window: a free-plan machine older than 5 days
(CMUX_VM_FREE_ACCESS_WINDOW_DAYS, 0 disables) is preserved but
unreachable — attach, ssh, exec, ports, and sessions fail with a 402
vm_access_requires_pro upgrade prompt, while list/status/rename/delete
keep working so the machine stays visible and disposable. The gate keys
on the caller's CURRENT plan, so upgrading unlocks existing machines
immediately. Enforced in one place (requireAccessibleUserVm) that every
access workflow shares; the five REST routes thread the caller's plan
and map the typed error.

* machines: flip free-window rows at the boundary itself, not on a poll tick

Review follow-up: the countdown/lock facet was only as fresh as the 45s
list poll. Expiry is a known future timestamp the client can compute
(createdAt + window), so the panel now arms a one-shot timer at exactly
the next transition across the fleet — each day-boundary where the label
decrements, and finally the expiry — and recomputes the facet locally
with no network, re-arming for the next boundary. Rows flip at the
moment the state changes; the slow poll is left covering only what
genuinely needs the server (machines created or deleted elsewhere). The
recompute happens above the lazy-list snapshot boundary, so the panel's
snapshot rule (cmux#2586) holds. Boundary math unit-tested.

After #10781, worktreeDeviceID/worktreeFileID were both defaulted at the
declaration and assigned in the explicit init, which the current toolchain
rejects ("immutable value may only be initialized once"). The init's

* cli: cmux vm run/push/pull/wait and the cmux-cloud-vm agent skill

vm run routes a command to a cloud machine without naming one: sticky
per-directory binding, then an idle agent-pool machine, then a sleeper,
then a freshly provisioned pool machine. push/pull move files over the
exec channel (base64 chunks, SHA-256 verified, directories as tarballs);
wait blocks until ready and optionally wakes the machine. The skill lets
any coding agent drive machines from plain CLI.

* vm push: 64 KiB argv-bound chunks, no AppleDouble sidecars, line-safe progress

Live dogfood on Blaxel: a 512 KiB chunk base64-encodes past Linux's 128 KiB
per-argument limit ("argument list too long"), macOS tar shipped ._* files
onto the machine, and chunk progress ran together when stderr was captured.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* vm run: pool membership is the persisted id list, not the display label; review fixes

- The router now only drafts machines it provisioned itself (ids recorded in
  ~/.cmuxterm/vm-run-pool.json at create time, pruned when machines vanish); a
  user machine renamed agent-pool is never used. Test covers the impostor.
- Staging tarball is removed if reading it throws before the defer is armed.
- Push/pull chunk progress is localized (cli.vm.push.progress, cli.vm.pull.progress).
- vm --help, the usage contract, and the contract doc list open/ports/tools/
  handoff/promote-template, which the dispatcher already handled.
- Sticky-binding fixture uses a fixed instant, not the host clock.
- Skill recipes: --sync runs inside the synced dir (no remote $PWD), port
  readiness poll instead of sleep, eligibility filter instead of .vms[0],
  background test exit status captured to a status file.

* vm run: lock the pool store across processes; idempotent, run-scoped recipes

- updateVMRunPool does the read-modify-write under flock on a sibling lock
  file, so two routers provisioning at once both land in the store; covered by
  a two-process test against two mock sockets.
- Dev-server recipe reuses a live server or starts one with a workspace pidfile
  and log; test recipe uses per-run log/status paths written atomically.
- Document that --sync is additive.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* vm run: pool-store failures propagate; recipes validate the dev server and use unique run ids

- updateVMRunPool/saveVMRunPool throw on lock or write failure and createPoolVM
  reports the machine it provisioned but could not record, instead of a silent
  unlocked update.
- The dev-server recipe reuses a server only when the recorded pid is alive and
  owns :3000 (netstat -p), refuses to start a second server on a port someone
  else owns, and clears stale metadata.
- Test-run ids come from uuidgen, not the epoch second.
- Skill docs: cmux vm shell is a cmux-tui session now that machines run the
  cmux-tui remote daemon; agents keep working through vm run/exec.

- scripts/install-cmux-tui-client.sh bundles a universal, sha256-verified
  cmux-tui client into Contents/Resources/bin like the Ghostty helper;

`sha256sum: invalid option -- 's'` and POST /api/vm returned 502. Redirect output

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* cloud: Blaxel machines are cmux-tui only; desktop pane redirects top-level; home volume scales with memory

- Remove cmuxd-remote from the Blaxel driver: no daemon injection, no CMUX_VM_BLAXEL_DAEMON_*,
  no legacy websocket PTY attach, no kill switch. The watcher, previews and revoke paths are
  cmux-tui only; the machine's bare branded host (<machine>.vm.cmux.sh) now belongs to the
  cmux-tui preview. openAttach on Blaxel fails with vm_attach_transport_unsupported (409)
  pointing clients at transport "cmux-remote".
- Desktop wrapper: the noVNC page is a top-level redirect, not an iframe. The gateway's
  bl_preview_token cookie is third-party inside a cross-site frame and WebKit drops it, which
  rendered unstyled noVNC with a dead Connect button. Also opts the page out of prerendering
  (connection()) and drops the nested html/body layout that caused hydration mismatches.
- Home volume: 24 GB plan default machines got a 5 GB disk. Size the volume from memory
  (<=16 GB -> 32 GB, <=32 GB -> 64 GB, else 128 GB); CMUX_VM_BLAXEL_HOME_VOLUME_MB still wins.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* cloud: every Cloud VM open goes through cmux-tui; exec the client in place so the pane can type

- vmOpenShell is the single open path for vm new/fork/restore/shell/attach/base open/base reset,
  the sidebar cloud button and the Machines panel; it opens the cmux-tui workspace first and only
  falls back to websocket/SSH when the control plane reports no cmux-tui at all.
  vm_attach_transport_unsupported is never a fallback signal.
- vm-tui-connect no longer spawns the client and races tcsetpgrp: it starts a detached
  vm-tui-approve helper for the enrollment approval and execs the cmux-tui client in place, so the
  pane's foreground process is the TUI from its first tty read. Intermittent swallowed keystrokes
  came from the client reaching raw mode before the handoff.
- The desktop split re-focuses the terminal surface after opening.
- remote-probe capabilities are forwarded as clientCapabilities so the control plane can hand out
  the branded <machine>.vm.cmux.sh route to clients that send a User-Agent.
- Workspaces carry a cloud VM binding (workspace.cloud_vm_bind) so Base detection works without a
  legacy remote configuration.

* cloud: provision machines with the standard toolset and agents; clamp home volume to Blaxel's 16 GB ceiling

The old provision step was Alpine-only (apk) and a no-op on the Ubuntu desktop image, so a
machine came with python3 and wget and nothing else. Machines now run a background
provisioning script on every bootstrap: ripgrep/fd/jq/tmux/git/curl/gh/xdotool, node 22,
bun, uv, Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode / Pi (into the persistent /root so they survive
sandbox resurrection), and the CUA driver (cua-computer-server) where the image lacks it.

Blaxel refuses volumes above 16 GB, so the memory-scaled tiers stop there: <=4 GB -> 8 GB,
otherwise 16 GB (the 24 GB plan default previously got 5 GB).

sleeping one), reads 'session current snapshot' and follows 'session current events' to build the
Cloud tree, and opens a remote terminal locally as a pane running 'attach --terminal <id>'. Bindings
between local surfaces and remote terminals make terminal_open reuse an open pane. Deleting a
machine now closes its cmux-tui-bound workspace too.

panel now create a terminal in the machine's cmux-tui session through vm.terminal_new and
show it as a single-terminal pane (attach --terminal), like an ssh session — no cmux-tui
sidebar or tabs in the pane. vm tree renders link state (connecting / asleep / error)
instead of hiding it behind '(none yet)'.

* cloud tree: drops honor the drop side; monochrome rows

A drag from the Cloud tree now carries the real Bonsplit destination (pane, orientation,
insert-first → left/right/up/down, or tab index) through CloudTreeOpenTarget into the same
surface.split / surface.create path every other pane drag uses, so dropping on the left edge
splits left instead of always splitting right. vm.terminal_open/desktop_open/port_open accept
pane_id/surface_id/direction/tab_index.

Rows follow the Files sidebar: secondary/tertiary labels and template symbols, one status
dot per machine, a single dim 'CPU · Mem · Disk' line instead of colored gauges.

* cmux-tui: freeze the operation catalog at 125 after terminal.output_read

#10855 added terminal.output_read to spec/resource-operations-v2.json
without bumping the frozen count in test_check_resource_api_boundary,
so the cmux-tui SDKs and cmux-tui spec checks fail on every merge with
main (125 != 124).

* cloud tree: one row grid — chevron slot, icon column, dot with its own slot, chevron on the name line

Every row lays out as (level+1)×16pt indent → 6pt → 16pt icon slot → 8pt → title, so glyphs form a
column and rows without a chevron reserve its slot. Machine rows put the status dot in its own 10pt
slot and top-align the disclosure with the name line instead of letting it float between the
subtitle lines next to the dot. Trailing markers get a 10pt gap and an 8pt edge.

* cloud tree: an untitled terminal shows its cwd or 'terminal', never its raw id

* surfaces: the catalog — terminals, screens and browsers as resources; panes as projections

One @mainactor owner (SurfaceCatalog) holds resource identities (local | cloud machine ×
terminal | screen | browser) and their projections (resource, workspace, panel). Providers
push resources in and materialize panes; project(_:into:) is the single open/reuse path;
projections persist as records and re-resolve when a provider reports the resource again.

* surfaces: local + cmux-tui providers, the tree as a catalog view, one drag path, surface.* socket + CLI

- LocalSurfaceProvider registers every terminal/browser pane as a resource; projections are
  recorded at the single panels-will-change seam (add/remove/transfer), moved on tab transfer,
  and persisted (remote ones) as surfaceProjections in the session snapshot; a restored remote
  pane is a placeholder until its provider re-projects it.
- CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider (one per cloud machine, registry-driven) turns the headless link's
  snapshot/events into terminal / screen / port-browser resources and materializes panes through
  SurfacePaneFactory — the one place a SurfaceDestination becomes a pane.
- The right-sidebar tree is a view of SurfaceCatalog.snapshot: This Mac first (terminals grouped
  by local workspace, browsers), then each machine (workspaces → terminals, Desktop, Ports);
  every open is catalog.project; one com.cmux.surface-resource drag/drop path for every row and
  both machines, landing at the drop pane and edge.
- surface.catalog / surface.project / surface.new_terminal socket methods; vm.* wrappers keep their
  shapes; cmux vm tree / surface ls|open|new-terminal on the CLI; vm new/shell/agent create
  terminals through the catalog. CloudTreeService/ServiceAccess/Model are gone.

* cloud tree: cloud machines only for now; no reloads during a drag; coalesced catalog reads

The sidebar shows only cloud machines (This Mac stays in the catalog and behind
CloudTreeNodeBuilder.includesLocalMachine). Catalog changes collapse to one read per runloop
turn, are deferred while a drag is in flight, and update rows in place when the tree structure
is unchanged — a busy remote shell retitling no longer re-runs reloadData under the cursor.

Superseded by merged PR #10887, which established the resource/projection Cloud architecture and the cmux-tui daemon baseline. The remaining hardening items are tracked in the current TUI tech-debt board. Closing this transport spike so it is not mistaken for the canonical implementation.
