devbox image: bake ble.sh tput caches so first panes open clean - #11277
Conversation
The first shell on a machine printed 'ble/term.sh: updating tput cache for TERM=xterm-256color... done' into the pane before its first prompt. ble.sh resolves its cache dir in two steps (verified live on quiet-seal): the XDG path only when ~/.cache already exists, else <blesh>/cache.d/<uid>; it loads a cache silently only when term.$TERM is newer than lib/init-term.sh, else it regenerates and prints. The image now pre-generates the caches for xterm-256color, screen-256color, tmux-256color, and linux by running ble.sh itself under a pty at bake time, bakes them into cache.d/0 and cache.d/1000, and keeps an XDG-layout seed at /etc/cmux/blesh-cache-seed that cmux-bashrc copies into each fresh HOME (plain cp, so the copy is always newer than init-term.sh). Verified on a live machine: bare cache reproduces the message on a real pane; the seeded state opens straight at the prompt. Epoch bumped to 2026-08-31-r11; needs a rebake with web/scripts/build-blaxel-image.sh to reach new machines.

Compare the copy command position.
indexOf("blesh-cache-seed") matches the earlier comments in cmux-bashrc. The test still passes if the cp -R command moves after source /usr/local/share/blesh/ble.sh. Compare the index of the exact copy command from line 127 instead.

…our baked TERMs The seed guard skipped homes that already had a blesh cache dir, so a durable home from an older image (different ble version dir, or entries older than a newer lib/init-term.sh) regenerated and printed again after an image upgrade. The copy is now per file with the same freshness rule ble.sh applies (missing, or init-term.sh newer). The bake also proves all four TERM caches generated instead of two. Verified live on quiet-seal: missing copies 4, stale refreshes to newer-than-init, fresh is untouched.

ble.sh init-term.sh cache newer than modification time tput cache
💡 Result:
The message "ble/term.sh: updating tput cache for TERM=... done" is an expected behavior of ble.sh during its initial startup or after a cache refresh [1][2][3]. The process involves querying the system's terminal capabilities using tput and caching the results to improve subsequent performance [4][2][5]. Key points regarding this process and its potential issues: 1. Why it appears: The message notifies the user that ble.sh is performing a necessary bootstrap operation to retrieve terminal sequences and keymaps from the system's terminfo database [2][3]. Without this cache, initialization would be significantly slower on subsequent launches [2]. 2. Cache Invalidation and Timestamps: ble.sh determines whether the cache needs to be updated by comparing the modification timestamps of its script files against the cached data [6]. Issues can arise if the filesystem does not correctly preserve these timestamps (e.g., some encrypted filesystems or specific build environments), causing the cache to be repeatedly rebuilt or left in an inconsistent state [7][6]. 3. Performance and Troubleshooting: - Persistent messages or slow startup: If the message appears persistently or causes slow startup, it may indicate that the cache cannot be saved properly (e.g., directory is read-only or located on a temporary, volatile filesystem like tmpfs) [1][6]. - No input response: If ble.sh fails to respond to input, it may be due to a broken or inconsistent cache. Clearing the cache directory (typically located in ~/.cache/blesh) often resolves such issues [8][6]. - Customizing Cache Location: To avoid issues with volatile or restricted directories, you can set a custom cache path by exporting XDG_CACHE_HOME before sourcing ble.sh [1]. If you are experiencing issues where the cache update seems to be failing or triggering unnecessarily, verify that your environment correctly supports file timestamping and that the user has write permissions to the cache directory [7][6].

Treat equal timestamps as stale.
When the two files have equal modification times, -nt is false. The guard skips reseeding, although ble.sh refreshes the cache unless it is newer than init-term.sh. Reseed when $__cmux_dst is not newer than /usr/local/share/blesh/lib/init-term.sh.

🌐 Web query:
ble.sh init-term.sh tput cache file read source concurrent cache generation
💡 Result:
In ble.sh, the message "ble/term.sh: updating tput cache for TERM=..." indicates that the shell is bootstrapping its terminal capability database [1][2][3]. Because ble.sh is implemented in pure Bash, it cannot rely on pre-existing terminfo capabilities during its initial startup; it must query the system's tput command to reconstruct the necessary terminal sequences and keymaps, which it then caches for subsequent sessions [4][5][6]. Regarding the technical aspects of the cache, it is managed as follows: 1. Initialization and Caching: The lib/init-term.sh module is responsible for this process [5][6]. The reason this message appears is that the terminal must be initialized before the UI can even clear or manage the screen [2]. Since the terminal's own capabilities (such as cursor movement or line clearing) are not known until this cache is read or generated, this status message is printed to provide user feedback, especially since the process can take several seconds on some systems [1][2]. 2. Concurrent Cache Generation: While users may observe the initialization process taking time, ble.sh is designed to be a single-session-aware tool. If multiple terminals are opened simultaneously, they may all attempt to check or generate the cache in the same directory (defaulting to ~/.cache/blesh) [2][7]. Because the initialization is a blocking operation required for the shell to function correctly, concurrent instances typically wait for or independently complete the same read/write operations to the cache files [1][4]. 3. Cache Locations: The cache directory is typically located at ~/.cache/blesh [7]. If your cache is stored in a volatile location like /tmp (or if your home directory is cleared on reboot), the initialization will re-occur, leading to the repeated display of the update message [1][7]. If you wish to manage this behavior: - To suppress the message or relocate the cache, you can set the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable before sourcing ble.sh [1]. - If you encounter issues where the shell becomes unresponsive, you can clear the cache manually using bash /path/to/ble.sh --clear-cache from a separate session where ble.sh is not active [7].

github akinomyoga ble.sh init-term.sh term.xterm-256color cache source
💡 Result:
In ble.sh, the message "ble/term.sh: updating tput cache for TERM=xterm-256color... done" indicates that the shell is building a local cache of terminal capability information [1][2]. ble.sh uses the tput utility to retrieve terminfo/termcap data to support features like syntax highlighting and command-line editing [3][4]. Because querying this information repeatedly can be slow, ble.sh caches the results in a local directory (typically ~/.cache/blesh) [1][3]. The initialization process checks for this cache; if it is missing, corrupted, or incompatible with the current terminal session, it recreates it [2]. Key points regarding this process include: - Purpose: This cache is a performance optimization [3]. Without it, the startup time would be significantly higher because ble.sh would have to query the terminal database every time it initializes [3]. - Persistence: The message typically appears only on the first run after installation or after the cache has been cleared [2]. - Troubleshooting: If you see this message every time you open a terminal, it often means your cache directory is being cleared automatically upon reboot (e.g., if /.cache is mapped to a temporary filesystem like tmpfs) [1]. You can resolve this by setting a persistent path for your cache using the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable before sourcing ble.sh [1]: export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/.local/share/blesh/cache.d source /path/to/ble.sh... - Clearing Cache: If you encounter issues with terminal behavior, you can manually clear the cache by running the following command from a session that does not have ble.sh initialized [5][6]: bash /path/to/ble.sh --clear-cache

${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-~/.cache}/blesh/<ver>only when that base directory already exists, else<blesh>/cache.d/<uid>. A fresh home volume has no~/.cache, so the machine's first shells usecache.d, and later shells switch to the XDG path once anything creates~/.cache— each empty location regenerates the tput cache and prints the message. ble.sh loads a cache silently only whenterm.$TERMis newer thanlib/init-term.sh(mtime test).The image now pre-generates the caches for
xterm-256color,screen-256color,tmux-256color, andlinuxat bake time by running ble.sh itself under a pty (script; ble.sh refusesbash -cand ttyless shells), bakes them intocache.d/0andcache.d/1000(root panes and thecuadesktop), and keeps an XDG-layout seed at/etc/cmux/blesh-cache-seedthatcmux-bashrccopies into each fresh HOME — with a plaincp -R, so the copy's mtime always beatsinit-term.sh. Same pattern as the existing seed-history materialization.Live A/B on the real pane path (
workspace run -- bash -lthrough the machine link): bare cache reproduces the message as the pane's first line; the seeded state opens straight at the prompt.Rollout: epoch bumped to
2026-08-31-r11; the fix reaches new machines after a rebake withweb/scripts/build-blaxel-image.sh(not run here — it publishessandbox/cmux-devbox:latest). Existing machines only pay the message once per TERM per cache location. The e2b/daytona devbox image (services/vms/images/devbox) shares the ble.sh setup lineage and likely wants the same seed; left for the shared-image owner to confirm.Need help on this PR? Tag
