The one-time What's New sheet presented immediately and any web page then did its web-session exchange and WKWebView load behind the already-visible sheet, so the launch notice opened as a blank sheet that filled in seconds later. A sheet should not surface until its content renders immediately (HIG Loading: "The best content-loading experience finishes before people become aware of it"; loading in the background before surfacing UI is the sanctioned pattern).

Mechanism: a new MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad owns one page's whole load lifecycle outside the view hierarchy (webview, session exchange, cookie seeding, navigation allowlist, bounded deadline) and settles into a terminal phase exactly once, with an outcome() that can never hang because the deadline task guarantees settlement. WorkspaceShellView now stages unseen pages as a candidate and a view-owned .task(id:) preloads every web page concurrently, presenting only pages that actually rendered; a page that fails or misses the 10s preload deadline is dropped unacknowledged (same policy as the existing offline skip) and returns next launch. Native feature pages are compiled in and present with no added wait. MobileWhatsNewWebView is now a thin renderer over a load (preloaded for the sheet, created in place for the Settings archive push), keeping the quiet failure placeholder and the fresh-session Try Again. Swiping between sheet pages no longer reloads a web page either, since the webview is owned outside the page view.

Tests: MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoadTests covers both deterministic failure paths (allowlist cancel, deadline while the session exchange hangs) and that a settled load answers late awaiters instead of parking a continuation forever.

Verified on tag wnpre: fleet macOS and iOS builds green, isolated-simulator launch shows the sheet appearing with content already rendered, dev-server /api/whats-new round confirmed. Localization audit: no new user-facing strings; the existing mobile.whatsNew.* keys are reused unchanged.

Includes a cherry-pick of #11316 (main is currently red for macOS Debug without it); it dedupes when that merges first.

Summary by cubic

Preloads What's New web pages before the sheet presents, so the one-time launch notice no longer appears as a blank sheet that fills in seconds later. The sheet now surfaces only after every web page has rendered; a page that fails or misses the 10s preload deadline is dropped unacknowledged and returns next launch.

  • Adds MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad, which owns a page's whole load lifecycle (webview, session exchange, cookie seeding, navigation allowlist, bounded deadline) and always settles to a terminal phase, so presentation can never hang.
  • Native feature pages are compiled in and present with no added wait.
  • MobileWhatsNewWebView is now a thin renderer over a load, so swiping between sheet pages no longer reloads a web page.
  • Cherry-picks the macOS Debug compile fix from Fix macOS compile break from #11224 (GhosttySurfaceScrollView has no terminalSurface) #11316; it dedupes when that PR merges first.

Written for commit 4c4013f. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The What's New flow now stages candidate pages, preloads web content and session cookies, filters failed loads, and presents the sheet with completed webviews. MobileWhatsNewWebView uses externally owned loads and creates new loads only for local attempts.

Changes

Web page load lifecycle
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad.swift, Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Tests/CmuxMobileShellUITests/MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoadTests.swift
MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad manages cookies, navigation policy, webview loading, deadlines, and terminal outcomes. Tests cover allowlist failures, hanging session exchange, deadline settlement, and repeated outcome requests.
Webview ownership and rendering
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/MobileWhatsNewWebView.swift
MobileWhatsNewWebView accepts preloaded loads, creates local loads for retries, and installs the owned webview with the resolved appearance.
Staged sheet presentation
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/WorkspaceShellView.swift, Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/MobileWhatsNewSheet.swift
WorkspaceShellView stages pages, awaits preload results, filters failed pages, and passes completed loads to MobileWhatsNewSheet, which forwards them to each web view.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 28952

A rejected What's New page navigation may delay the sheet for up to the preload deadline before the page is dropped, and timing-sensitive deadline tests may be less deterministic. The change remains mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on prompt failure settlement and test clock control.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains what changed, why it changed, implementation details, testing, and verification. It does not include the requested demo video or checklist completion, but the required summary and testing information are substantially complete.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

No listed actor-isolation mistake is introduced. The new mutable, UI-bound MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad is explicitly @MainActor, and its Navigator is also explicitly @MainActor. The only concurrent operation is the nonisolated @concurrent session exchange through the existing Sendable MobileWebAppSessionProviding protocol; webview and cookie-store access returns to the main-actor load. The changed sheet, web view, and workspace state remain SwiftUI UI state. No new implicit-MainActor value model, service protocol, or unisolated Sendable reference type appears. The session protocol and broker isolation predate this diff.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The production diff adds clock.sleep(for: deadline) in MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad.swift:80. The sleep runs in a deadline task to settle the load when the session exchange or WebKit load does not finish. This is timing-based synchronization in shipped Swift, not test scaffolding or UI animation timing. The baseline had a view-owned deadline sleep, but this change moves the mechanism into a new externally owned load and starts one for each preloaded web page, so the synchronization scope is materially expanded. The added Task.sleep in MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoadTests.swift is test-only and is allowed.

Resolution

Remove the direct production clock.sleep deadline wait. Use an approved cancellation-aware timeout/scheduler abstraction or a real completion signal that races the session/WebKit callbacks with cancellation, while preserving exactly-once settlement and cancellation when the load finishes.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull request does not change the browser socket automation scope. The diff has no changes to Sources/TerminalController.swift, ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, or ControlCommandExecutionPolicyTests.swift, and added lines contain no browser.* command or worker-routing changes. The new WKWebView callbacks are confined to the iOS What's New UI loader, not socket-worker browser automation. The rule therefore has no applicable failure condition.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds no agent-history loader or large agent-file parsing. The changed production files contain no RestorableAgentSessionIndex, SharedLiveAgentIndex, transcript/trajectory/workstream files, JSON decoding, filesystem reads, directory scans, or per-record syscalls. The new MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad performs an async session exchange marked @concurrent, awaits cookie-store operations, and calls asynchronous WKWebView.load; WorkspaceShellView only creates these loads and awaits their outcomes in a view task. The explicit expensive synchronous-load failure condition is not introduced or worsened.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS — The diff does not replace a fresh authoritative read in a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot path. It adds @State/view-owned whatsNewCandidatePages and whatsNewWebLoads for transient What's New presentation, and webLoads only passes preloaded webviews into the sheet. The existing MobileWhatsNewCenter.unseenPages and refresh/acknowledgement flow remains in place; no new durable-state read or write appears in the diff. This matches the allowed transient non-persisted UI case.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The pull request diff contains only five .swift files: four iOS production files and one Swift test file. It introduces no TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or non-Swift build/runtime changes covered by runtime-no-hacky-sleeps.md. The Swift deadline and Task.sleep references are outside this check's scope; the test sleep is also test-only scaffolding.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS: The changed production code uses linear work over the What's New page set. preloadAndPresentWhatsNew creates one load per web page, awaits each already-concurrent load once, then performs linear filter passes with O(1) dictionary lookups by listID. whatsNewCandidateID is a single linear projection. The new cookie and continuation loops are also linear. The diff adds no nested full-collection scan, per-target rescan, sorting, in-memory join, or workspace/search hot-path algorithm. Existing catalog-index scans in MobileWhatsNewCenter are unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS. The diff introduces no background Dispatch queues, Combine state, or uncontrolled completion-handler API. The two new Task values in MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad are stored properties; the deadline task is cancelled on settlement, and the load task is cancelled on failure. The SwiftUI .task modifiers are view-owned boundaries, and the XCTest Task.sleep is test-only. The new WKNavigationDelegate callbacks are an allowed OS callback boundary. withCheckedContinuation implements the load outcome and is not a prohibited legacy pattern.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS. The diff adds one network-bound helper, exchangeSessionCookies, as @concurrent private nonisolated ... async. The new load task calls this helper before it performs main-actor WKWebView and cookie-store work. MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad.outcome(), Navigator callbacks, and preloadAndPresentWhatsNew() coordinate actor-isolated UI state and do not add heavy work that must leave UI isolation. The @concurrent annotation is on an async, explicitly nonisolated function, not on a synchronous or actor-isolated function. No stated Swift concurrency failure condition is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS — The changed production Swift code is already behind the CmuxMobileShellUI SwiftPM target at Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI. Package.swift defines the library target and its dedicated test target. MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad is iOS/WebKit/SwiftUI presentation lifecycle glue, uses the package's existing MobileWebAppSessionProviding, is internal, and serves this UI flow only. The diff does not add reusable domain, provider, persistence, or cross-surface logic to an app target.

Inject a clock so the deadline test does not depend on real time.

MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad creates ContinuousClock() internally, so this test must wait a real 50 ms for the deadline. Add a clock: any Clock<Duration> = ContinuousClock() initializer parameter and pass a test clock here. WorkspaceShellView already uses this pattern for workspaceActionToastClock.

As per coding guidelines: "Test code must avoid real wall-clock dependencies: use injected virtual clocks and advance them manually for time-driven behavior."

- Line 141: Update Navigator.webView(_:decidePolicyFor:) so rejected main-frame
navigation settles MobileWhatsNewWebPageLoad with .failed before returning
.cancel, while preserving existing handling for non-main-frame navigation. Add a
test using a long deadline that verifies outcome() settles promptly after the
main-frame policy rejection.

P1: The load can settle before the real page is requested. The webview starts an `about:blank` navigation at creation, while the actual `webView.load` only runs after the network-bound session exchange. `decidePolicyFor` cancels `about:blank` (no host), and WebKit then delivers `didFailProvisionalNavigation` with `NSURLErrorCancelled`, which `settle(.failed)` records as terminal and cancels `loadTask` — so the real page never loads and the preload gate drops the page. Gate the terminal settle on the actual page load: ignore `about:blank`/`NSURLErrorCancelled` failures before the real `load` is issued (e.g. only treat `didFailProvisionalNavigation` as terminal when the failed URL is the load's own `url`, and only treat `didFinish` as loaded when it matches the real navigation).</violation>

The one-time What's New sheet presented immediately and any web page then
did its session exchange and WKWebView load behind the already-visible
sheet, so the user watched a blank sheet fill in. Web pages now load into
live webviews owned outside the sheet, presentation gates on every page's
outcome, and a page that fails or misses the 10s preload deadline is
dropped unacknowledged (same policy as the offline skip) and returns next
launch. Native feature pages are compiled in and present with no added
wait.
