Force-install now keeps the existing plugin directory and registry metadata in same-parent backups until the replacement is complete. Any intermediate rename failure restores both paths.

Behavior tests inject a failure after the target backup and cover successful replacement.

Rust fs::rename requires same-mount paths and has stricter existing-directory replacement rules on Unix and Windows, so all transaction renames use unique sibling paths.

Summary by cubic

Fixes plugin force-install so a failed replacement no longer leaves the plugin directory, registry metadata, or sidebar config partially updated, and recovers installs interrupted by a crash.

  • Pairs each rename with a same-parent backup so any failure restores the previous directory, metadata, and config.
  • Writes a validated install journal before replacing; later commands reconcile it to roll back interrupted installs, and committed journals persist until backup cleanup succeeds.
  • Serializes mutating plugin commands with an exclusive fs4 file lock; read-only commands skip it.
  • Runs recovery before changing the sidebar selection so a prepared transaction cannot undo a builtin selection.
  • Quarantines malformed or out-of-root journals and preserves dangling symlink entries for the plugin and metadata paths.
  • Failure and validation messages are localized and redact internal paths and system details.
  • Adds tests for rename failure, mid-replacement crash, config callback failure, and a success case confirming both paths commit together.

Written for commit 3fc686d. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Plugin installation now uses a journaled transaction protected by an inter-process lock. It stages plugin and registry files, captures configuration state, supports rollback after failures, and reconciles interrupted installations during install and list operations.

Changes

Plugin installation transaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transaction contracts and filesystem primitives
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs
The code adds journal and configuration snapshot structures, filesystem abstractions, backup paths, atomic writes, commit markers, and exclusive operation locking.
Replacement, rollback, and reconciliation
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs
The replacement flow writes a prepared journal, backs up existing files, installs staged files, applies configuration, commits on success, and restores plugin, metadata, and configuration state after failure or interruption.
Install integration and transaction validation
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs
Install and list operations reconcile transactions. Metadata uses staged temporary files. Tests cover rollback, commit cleanup, interrupted recovery, and configuration rollback.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77a45

This PR adds journaled, rollback-capable plugin replacement, but the current implementation can fail lint, lock users out of plugin commands after a malformed journal, fail successful replacements on Windows, restore an older selection over a newer builtin choice, or remove unrelated configuration during rollback. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, which is Rust. The diff contains no Swift files, so it does not introduce or expand blocking or timing-based synchronization in production Swift code.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs (+639/-18) relative to origin/main. The diff contains no browser socket commands, WebKit/AppKit access, worker routing, or policy-test changes. The rule explicitly targets Swift browser automation files, which are unchanged. The only matching term is a generic configuration callback test and is unrelated to browser automation.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust file. The PR-range diff contains zero Swift files, so it cannot introduce or worsen an expensive synchronous Swift agent-history load on a main-actor or interactive path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The full PR diff changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, which is Rust. The custom check applies only to production Swift, TypeScript, and JavaScript changes. The Rust snapshot and transaction logic is therefore out of scope.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, which is Rust. The custom check applies to TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts. No covered file changed, and the changed Rust file contains no sleep, timer, polling, backoff, or delay tokens.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust file, while the check names Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and runtime code. Even when the Rust code is reviewed for the same rule, the new reconciliation logic performs one linear read_dir pass, and replacement uses a fixed number of filesystem operations. No nested scalable-collection scan or per-target batch rescan was added. The installed_plugins sort and per-plugin metadata reads predate the PR and were not moved or expanded into a hotter path.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs (+639/-18). The diff contains no Swift, Xcode, Combine, or Swift-concurrency source changes. Therefore, it introduces no legacy async pattern in cmux-owned Swift code.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The pull request diff from merge base f8a66a9 contains only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs. It contains no Swift or Objective-C files, so it introduces no Swift async isolation or @concurrent changes covered by this check.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The PR diff against origin/main changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs (+639/-18), a Rust file. It introduces no Swift or SwiftPM package changes, so it cannot violate the Swift package-boundary rule.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs (639 additions, 18 deletions). The diff contains no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, Xcode project/workspace, workflow, or dependency changes. Therefore no SwiftPM lockfile rule is triggered.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust file. No Swift production code or logging was added or materially changed, so the Swift logging conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The change adds production recovery errors that expose implementation details. reconcile_install_transactions returns invalid install journal {path}: {serde_error}, and restore_config_snapshot returns the internal config path in its error. Rollback failures also expose internal phases such as metadata staging, config restore, and journal cleanup, with raw underlying errors. These errors reach the user: run_plugin places error.to_string() in both message and details.reason, and print_local_error prints the message. This violates the user-facing error policy's ban on implementation details and its required safe, minimal diagnostics.

Resolution

Return sanitized product-level errors for journal reconciliation, config recovery, and rollback failures. Do not include journal names, config paths, staging or metadata phases, filesystem paths, or raw parser/filesystem errors in message or details. Send those diagnostics to sanitized internal logs or telemetry. Include one or two safe recovery actions, such as retrying the plugin operation or contacting support.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds new user-facing error/API-response text without localization. In cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, messages such as failed to back up, failed to install, failed to persist, invalid install journal, and rollback failed are introduced. cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/cli/command.rs places ManagerError::to_string() into the response message, and human mode prints the same value. No matching entries or catalog usage were added to cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/localization.rs. The filesystem paths, journal names, JSON keys, and test-only strings are not the issue.

Resolution

Add localized catalog entries for each new plugin-install error and recovery message for every supported cmux-tui locale. Route the production messages through the catalog with placeholders for paths and underlying errors. Preserve literal protocol, config, filesystem, and journal tokens unchanged. Ensure both human output and API-response handling follow the intended locale behavior.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust source file. The diff contains no Swift files or SwiftUI state/layout patterns. Therefore, the SwiftUI-specific failure conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS: The custom check applies to Swift architecture changes. The pull-request diff changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust file; the diff contains no Swift paths or Swift changes. Therefore the Swift architectural failure conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS. The full pull-request diff from main to HEAD changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs. It contains no Swift changes and does not add or modify any cmux-owned window code. The auxiliary-window close-shortcut condition is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

PASS: The diff changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a hand-written Rust source file already used by the TUI. The additions implement plugin transaction logic and include tests that create temporary runtime paths. No local logs, screenshots, recordings, checked-in temp or cache directories, build output, dependency checkout, or other artifact path enters the diff.

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

Explanation

PASS. The patch changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, which is Rust and is outside any Swift Sources/ path. The diff contains no Swift production source, so this custom check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

PASS: The full pull-request diff from origin/main to HEAD changes only cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/plugin_manager.rs, a Rust file. It contains no production Swift changes, so the ambient global state rule does not apply.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Store installation journals in a dedicated directory.

reconcile_install_transactions scans every entry in install_root to find journals. installed_plugins then scans the same root again at Line 353. This adds an extra O(P) traversal for every list operation, where P is the unbounded number of installed plugin directories.

Write journals under a dedicated transaction directory, such as install_root/.install-transactions, and scan that directory during reconciliation. This keeps recovery work proportional to pending transactions instead of installed plugins.

As per coding guidelines: “Avoid repeated full scans, sorting, filtering, or per-item nested scans over scalable collections in production code.”

Also applies to: 691-703

Starting with the 1.0.0 release, these were renamed to lock and try_lock, respectively, to mirror the standard library's locking API [1][2]. fs_std Module Changes: The fs_std module, which provided FileExt for std::fs::File, was flattened in version 1.0.0 [1][2]. Users are now advised to use fs4::FileExt directly from the crate root instead of importing it via fs4::fs_std::FileExt [1][2]. While other backend modules (such as fs_err2, fs_err3, tokio, smol, and async_std) remain nested because they define their own trait implementations for specific file types, the FileExt trait itself has been consolidated to the crate root [1]. Current Status: As of the most recent version (1.1.0, released April 28, 2026), the fs4 crate provides a unified FileExt trait at the root level [1][3]. The legacy fs_std module is effectively deprecated in favor of this direct crate-root access, though documentation for fs_std may persist for legacy references [1][4][5].

Add bounded feedback for lock acquisition

execute acquires the blocking fs4::FileExt::lock() before dispatching every subcommand. A long-running install or update therefore blocks list without progress or a retry message. Use bounded lock acquisition and return a clear retry error, or provide wait feedback.

Lock acquisition still blocks without feedback.

acquire_plugin_operation_lock calls the blocking fs4::FileExt::lock(), and execute acquires it before every subcommand. A long install therefore makes list, use, update, and remove hang with no output. Use try_lock with a bounded retry loop, then return a clear retry error, or print wait feedback.

704-706: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Journals still live in the plugin install root.

install_journal_path writes each journal into install_root, and reconcile_install_transactions reads every entry of install_root to find them. cleanup_orphan_commit_markers adds a second full scan of the same directory at Line 896, and installed_plugins scans it again at Line 407. Reconciliation work therefore grows with the number of installed plugins instead of the number of pending transactions.

Store journals and commit markers under a dedicated directory, for example install_root/.install-transactions, and scan only that directory.

As per coding guidelines: "Avoid repeated full scans, sorting, filtering, or per-item nested scans over scalable collections in production code."

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not delete the whole configuration file during rollback.

restore_config_snapshot removes the complete file at snapshot.path when config_existed is false and sidebar_plugin is None. The function already merged the current on-disk contents into root at Lines 949-985. If another process created the file and added unrelated keys after capture_config_snapshot ran, this branch discards those keys. The freshness guard at Lines 955-960 does not protect this case, because it only compares sidebar.plugin.

Remove the file only when the merged document carries no other data. Otherwise write the merged document.

+        .is_some_and(|object| object.values().all(|value| value.as_object().is_some_and(serde_json::Map::is_empty)) && object.keys().all(|key| key == "sidebar"));

729-732: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

An unparsable journal still blocks every plugin command.

reconcile_install_transactions returns an error when any .install-journal.json fails to read or deserialize. install_command calls it at Line 191 and installed_plugins calls it at Line 363, so install, list, use, update, remove, and --builtin all fail. A truncated journal, or a journal that a newer build wrote with an extra required field, locks the user out of all plugin commands. The error text does not state a recovery step.

Treat an unreadable journal as recoverable. Move it aside and continue with the remaining entries.

🛠️ Proposed fix to make an unreadable journal non-fatal
-        let journal: InstallJournal =
-            serde_json::from_slice(&fs::read(&path)?).map_err(|error| {
-                anyhow::anyhow!("invalid install journal {}: {error}", path.display())
-            })?;
+        let journal = match fs::read(&path)
+            .map_err(anyhow::Error::from)
+            .and_then(|bytes| Ok(serde_json::from_slice::<InstallJournal>(&bytes)?))
+        {
+            Ok(journal) => journal,
+            Err(_) => {
+                // An unreadable journal must not block plugin commands. Quarantine
+                // it so the remaining transactions still reconcile.
+                let quarantine =
+                    unique_backup_path(install_root, name, ".journal-unreadable");
+                let _ = fs::rename(&path, &quarantine);
+                continue;
+            }
+        };
