When the remote event transport dies, the session/remote.rs reader thread records the reason and synthesizes MuxEvent::Empty so the app leaves its event loop. The app's Empty handler treated every such event as "the session has no workspaces" and exited cleanly: code 0, no message, control socket unlinked, and teardown then SIGHUPed a still-live pane shell. The server drops an event stream whose outbound queue overflows (terminate_stream_locked), so a CPU-starved client under paste-echo load made an --ephemeral TUI vanish silently mid-paste. That is the FileNotFoundError CI shape documented in #10431 (comment).

Mechanism of the fix: the reader already records why it stopped (first-writer-wins) and a deliberate local disconnect records nothing, but the accessor was dead code. The Empty handler now consults it FIRST, before any machine-session request, so machine/provider authority cannot swallow the dead transport into a stuck reconnect. A recorded transport loss logs the raw reason (client_log) and fails with a generic localized error (session connection lost, EN + JA, nonzero exit through the same error path as HostInputFailed) so transport-controlled text never reaches the terminal as an error message. Two carve-outs keep existing semantics: a sleeping or stopped machine whose stream loss is the designed result of pausing still presents as asleep (extracted present_machine_as_asleep_after_stream_loss, still checked before failing), and a genuinely emptied session (no recorded reason, including deliberate local detach) keeps the quiet clean quit. Principled, not a workaround: it uses the disconnect-state machine the session layer already maintains.

Commits, red then green:

  1. test(cmux-tui): regression test only. A remote session whose transport died with a reason receives MuxEvent::Empty; the test demands an error and no clean-quit flag. Failed on main: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/33140055453 (cargo test red on Linux and macOS with only this test selected, pre-rebase commit ef96298 with the identical test diff).
  2. fix(cmux-tui): the ordering-aware handler, the OrderedSession forwarder for transport_disconnect_reason(), the localized message, and companion tests pinning the ordering: transport_loss_outranks_a_machine_session_request (machine authority present, no reconnect queued, error surfaces), sleeping_machine_stream_loss_still_presents_as_asleep, and empty_session_without_transport_loss_still_quits_cleanly. A follow-up commit sanitizes the user-facing error (reason goes to the client log only).

Hosted verification green on the final head (full Linux and macOS suites): https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/33142192911

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TUI now distinguishes remote transport loss from clean empty-session shutdown. It records and reads the disconnect reason, reports a localized error when MuxEvent::Empty follows transport loss, preserves asleep-machine handling, and keeps clean shutdown for genuinely empty local sessions.

Changes

Remote transport loss handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized transport-loss error
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/localization.rs
RuntimeMessages now defines and returns the session_transport_lost message in English and Japanese.
Session transport reason access
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/session/remote.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/session/mod.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs
The app can read a recorded remote transport disconnect reason. Test support creates a remote session with a simulated lost transport.
Empty-event transport-loss handling
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/app.rs
MuxEvent::Empty checks transport loss before requesting a machine session. Sleeping or stopped machines remain asleep. Other transport failures return a localized error. Tests cover these paths and clean local-session shutdown.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 118ae

The change reports unexpected remote transport loss instead of silently exiting, while preserving clean detach and sleeping-machine behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the failure mode, implementation, expected behavior, tests, CI verification, and linked issue. It does not include the template checklist, review-trigger block, or demo video, but the core required information is complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #11042 by distinguishing unexpected remote transport loss from empty sessions and deliberate disconnects, surfacing a localized error with nonzero exit status, preserving sleeping-machine behavior, and adding regression tests.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes are related to the transport-loss handling objective in issue #11042. The localization updates, session forwarding, visibility change, helper, and regression tests directly support the fix.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 37.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 8 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The pull request diff is limited to four Rust files under cmux-tui plus localization.rs. git diff main..HEAD -- '*.swift' '*.swiftinterface' returns no files. Therefore, the pull request introduces no production Swift changes and cannot introduce or worsen Swift 6 actor-isolation mistakes.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui; it introduces no Swift files or Swift code. The custom check applies to blocking or timing synchronization introduced in non-test Swift code, so none of its failure conditions apply.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff contains only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui (app.rs, localization.rs, session/mod.rs, and session/remote.rs). It contains no Swift or browser socket automation changes, and no added or moved browser.* command. Therefore the WebKit/AppKit worker-routing conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes are Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui, not production Swift. The inspected patch contains only .rs files, and no changed Swift code or expensive synchronous agent-history load is present. The Swift-specific custom check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS — the custom check applies only to production Swift, TypeScript, and JavaScript changes. The verified pull-request diff contains only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/; it contains no Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript paths. Therefore, no in-scope cache substitution can be introduced by this pull request.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only four .rs Rust files. The rule scope covers TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts. Therefore this Rust application change is out of scope, and no covered hacky sleep is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes Rust production code and test scaffolding. The only scalable-collection operation introduced or moved is one linear machine.snapshot.machines.iter().any(...) scan in app.rs:11574. It is not nested, not repeated per target, and runs once while handling a transport-loss or empty-session event. The transport accessor, localization formatter, and reason logging do not scan collections. The added tests are exempt by the rule, and the extracted machine scan preserves existing behavior rather than worsening its algorithmic shape.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The exact pull-request diff changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui. It adds no Swift code and introduces no DispatchQueue, Combine state, completion-handler API, or fire-and-forget Swift Task. The Swift concurrency check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from the main merge base changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui; it changes no .swift files and introduces no Swift concurrency annotations or call sites. The cmux Swift @concurrent`` check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui; the diff from main contains no .swift files or Package.swift manifests. Therefore it does not introduce or expand Swift app-target logic or violate the Swift package boundary rules.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only four Rust source files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/: app.rs, localization.rs, session/mod.rs, and session/remote.rs. The diff contains no Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or Xcode project changes. Therefore the SwiftPM lockfile requirements do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS: The complete PR diff changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui; it adds no Swift, Objective-C, or Objective-C++ files or lines. The added client_log calls are Rust code and are outside the Swift logging rule. Existing Swift logging statements are unchanged.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS. The added terminal error is a localized generic message: “session connection lost. Reconnect and retry.” The Japanese message is also generic. Neither message includes a vendor, provider, flag, environment variable, raw upstream message, credential, token, identifier, or payload. The transport reason is sent to client_log only and is not interpolated into the returned error; the regression tests verify that the user-facing error excludes the reason. The remaining additions are tests or developer comments.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS. The PR adds one user-facing transport-loss error through localization::catalog().runtime.session_transport_lost(), not as a hard-coded UI error. The affected Rust catalog has both supported entries: English (session connection lost. Reconnect and retry.) and Japanese (セッションへの接続が失われました。再接続して再試行してください。). The catalog selector supports the existing English and Japanese locales, and the other changed text is test-only, comments, or diagnostic client_log output. No Swift, web, app string-catalog, or metadata files are changed.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff contains only four Rust files under cmux-tui, with no Swift or SwiftUI changes. Therefore it introduces none of the listed SwiftUI state, layout, list-row, or render-time mutation patterns.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

PASS: The custom check applies to Swift architecture changes. The PR diff from the identified base changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/ and contains no .swift files. Therefore, the Swift-specific failure conditions are not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui; git diff origin/main...HEAD contains no .swift paths or Swift additions. Therefore it does not add or materially change a cmux-owned auxiliary window, so the close-shortcut rule does not apply.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

PASS. The diff changes only four tracked Rust source files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/: app.rs, localization.rs, session/mod.rs, and session/remote.rs. The changes are hand-written application logic, localization entries, and regression-test helpers/tests. No logs, screenshots, recordings, caches, temporary directories, build output, or other artifact-like paths appear in the diff.

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

Explanation

PASS: The full PR diff from merge base c1151ea to HEAD changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui. It changes no Swift file under a production Sources/ path, so the Swift production test/debug seam check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui; the cumulative diff against origin/main contains no Swift files. This check applies only to production Swift changes, so it is not applicable.

…pty session

When the remote event transport dies, the reader thread records the
reason and synthesizes MuxEvent::Empty. The app's Empty handler treats
that as "the session has no workspaces" and exits cleanly (code 0),
unlinking the control socket and SIGHUPing a still-live pane shell.
This test demands the transport failure surface as an error carrying
the recorded reason instead of the clean-quit path; it fails today.

… an empty session

The remote reader thread synthesizes MuxEvent::Empty when the event
transport ends so the app leaves its event loop, but the app's Empty
handler treated every such event as "the session has no workspaces"
and exited cleanly: code 0, no message, control socket unlinked, and
the teardown SIGHUPed a still-live pane shell. A server that drops a
backlogged event stream (outbound overflow termination) therefore made
an --ephemeral TUI vanish silently mid-paste.

The reader already records why it stopped, first-writer-wins, and a
deliberate local disconnect records nothing; the accessor was dead
code. Wire it up: on Empty, machine sessions still reconnect first,
then a recorded transport reason becomes a fatal, localized error
(nonzero exit with the reason on stderr), and only a genuinely emptied
session keeps the quiet quit.
