Summary

  • Reject hostless absolute OSC 7 paths before local cwd inheritance can use remote PTY metadata.
  • Keep local and remote file:// URLs with validated local hosts.

Testing

  • git diff --check
  • Canonical exact-head autoreview against 717f35768bbfc7a60c0a81ce9fe4b0c74fafd674: clean, overall correctness 0.88.
  • Rust tests/builds were not run locally per cmux-tui Blacksmith Testbox policy.

Summary by cubic

Rejects hostless OSC 7 terminal cwd paths so a remote PTY can't redirect a local spawn or leak through reattachment.

  • terminal_pwd_to_local_path only accepts file:// URLs with a validated local host; exited hosted PTYs stay untrusted.
  • Local PTYs keep hostless OSC 7 reports via local_terminal_pwd_to_local_path.
  • Spawn working directories use spawn_cwd_to_local_path, which preserves plain absolute, relative, drive, and colon-containing paths exactly but rejects hostless file URLs.
  • Snapshot cwd values ignore terminal OSC 7 entirely and persist only the authenticated spawn cwd, wrapped in an owner-token cmux-tui:spawn-cwd:v1: prefix; reattachment verifies the token with constant-time comparison, and legacy file-URL values still pass through the host check.
  • The provenance marker is only emitted for the negotiated current protocol; legacy and unknown protocol versions get the raw spawn path so peers never receive a marker they can't decode.
  • terminal.process.get now reports the sanitized local_cwd() instead of the raw terminal pwd.

Written for commit a7cde50. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved working-directory handling across hosted and local terminal sessions.
    • Invalid, unresolved, or improperly formatted terminal paths are now rejected instead of being interpreted as local paths.
    • Hosted session directories now use authenticated spawn information when available.
    • Terminal process information consistently reports the resolved local working directory.
    • Improved fallback behavior when the current terminal directory cannot be resolved.
    • Updated handling for legacy and unknown protocol versions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change separates terminal, local, spawn, and snapshot CWD conversion. Hosted surfaces now use authenticated spawn-CWD snapshots. Process responses use the resolved local CWD. Snapshot encoding varies by protocol version.

Changes

CWD validation and provenance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform CWD conversion helpers and tests
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/platform.rs
terminal_pwd_to_local_path now rejects hostless file URLs and plain paths. New helpers validate local, spawn, and owner-token-marked snapshot CWD values. Windows and Unix tests cover these rules.
Surface CWD selection and process reporting
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/surface.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/resource_router/content.rs
Surface kinds select context-specific converters. Hosted surfaces validate snapshot CWD values and skip live terminal PWD conversion. Process responses now report surface.local_cwd().
Terminal snapshot provenance
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/terminal_host_runtime.rs
snapshot_cwd derives the value from authenticated spawn CWD data instead of OSC 7. Current-protocol snapshots include an owner-token marker, while legacy and unknown protocols use an unmarked local path.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e8854

The cwd validation and snapshot provenance changes have no substantiated merge-blocking issue in the supplied evidence.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The repository diff from origin/main (2fbf2b7) to the PR head (e8854c2) changes four Rust files and zero .swift files. Therefore, the PR introduces no Swift actor-isolation changes covered by .github/review-bot-rules/swift-actor-isolation.md.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull request diff contains only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core; it introduces no Swift changes. The custom check applies only to blocking or timing-based synchronization introduced in non-test Swift code.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The aggregate PR diff from ebdbbe76130c57d2d1911f09f652d742c34c6d4f to HEAD changes only four Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core. It does not change Sources/TerminalController.swift, ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, or their policy tests. Therefore, it introduces no browser socket automation routing, WebKit/AppKit worker-lane access, or missing browser policy coverage under the stated rule.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request tree comparison against the available main revision shows four changed files, all Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core; it shows no changed .swift, JSON, or JSONL files. Therefore this check's production Swift expensive synchronous load condition is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes cmux-tui Rust files (.rs), not production Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript files. The cache-substitution check is therefore inapplicable, and no failure condition is triggered.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff against the available main base changes only four Rust source files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core. The custom check applies to TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts. No covered-language files or added timing primitives appear in the diff.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The PR adds only per-value path and URL processing in the Rust runtime. The new scans operate on input strings or a fixed owner token, not on scalable workspace, session, process, or other user-owned collections. No nested collection scans, batch rescans, joins, or repeated sorting/filtering were introduced. The existing children.sort_unstable() in terminal_process_get is unchanged; the PR only changes the CWD value source. The protocol-version loop is test-only.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS — The PR changes cmux-tui Rust files only. The verified final PR delta contains two .rs files and zero .swift files. Added lines contain none of the rule's legacy Swift concurrency patterns. Therefore, the check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The PR does not change Swift code. The aggregate diff from the repository base (2fbf2b74) to the final PR revision (577d7eaa) contains no *.swift paths. The changed files are Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src, so the Swift @concurrent check is inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The full feature range changes only three Rust files under cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core; the diff contains zero .swift or Package.swift changes. Therefore, it introduces no production Swift package-boundary violation.
