Resolve relay cmux-tui candidates to canonical absolute paths before validation and spawn. This prevents a later Command PATH lookup from selecting a different executable after the candidate check.

Verification: rustfmt --edition 2024 --check; git diff --check. Cargo/Rust builds and tests were intentionally not run locally per cmux-tui instructions.


Summary by cubic

Fixes a race in cmux-tui executable resolution by canonicalizing candidates to absolute paths before validation and spawn, so a PATH change after validation can't make Command launch a different binary.

  • The CHATMUX_RELAY_CMUX_TUI override and PATH search share a canonicalization helper that rejects relative candidates; use an absolute path.
  • Adds regression tests for relative override and PATH entries.
  • Cleans up clippy findings in the relay test callbacks.

Written for commit 45d4d55. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The relay now canonicalizes configured and PATH-based cmux-tui candidates before returning executable paths. Two test closures receive syntax-only semicolon changes.

Changes

cmux-tui executable resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical executable resolution
cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs
resolve_cmux_tui uses canonical_executable for the environment override and PATH candidates. The helper returns canonical paths only for executable files. Two test callbacks gain trailing semicolons without behavior changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 22109

The relay now validates and spawns the same canonical executable path, preventing a later PATH lookup from selecting a different program. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains what changed, why it changed, and how it was verified. It also states that builds and tests were not run. The missing checklist and review-trigger sections are template omissions, but the description is otherwise sufficiently complete.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, which is Rust. The complete PR-range diff contains no Swift files or Swift actor-isolation changes. The custom check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request range changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, a Rust file. It adds path canonicalization and test callback semicolons. No Swift production changes or Swift blocking/timing synchronization were introduced.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs. The production changes canonicalize cmux-tui executable paths, and the other changes add Rust statement terminators in tests. The diff adds no browser.* command, WebKit/AppKit access, .mainActor route, processV2Command case, socketWorkerMethods entry, or browser policy test. The custom browser automation check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, a Rust file. The diff adds canonical executable resolution and test callback syntax changes. It adds no production Swift code and no agent-history or large synchronous load call sites covered by the custom check.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request changes are confined to cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, a Rust file. The resolver change adds canonical executable paths, and the remaining edits add Rust callback semicolons. No production Swift, TypeScript, or JavaScript file changes are in the pull-request-specific two-commit diff, so the cache-substitution check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The rule scope covers TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts. The PR changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, which is Rust source. The added lines canonicalize executable paths and add test semicolons. They do not introduce or worsen sleeps, timers, polling, or fixed waits. Existing Rust timing code is unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes Rust runtime code in cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs. The PATH logic performs one linear traversal, and canonical_executable performs one canonicalization plus one metadata check per candidate. The diff introduces no nested full-collection scan, repeated sort/filter, batch rescan, in-memory join, or slower-than-linear algorithm for user-owned records. The other changes only add semicolons in test callbacks.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS — The pull-request range changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, which is Rust code. The diff adds canonical_executable and updates Rust test callback syntax. It introduces no cmux-owned Swift code or Swift concurrency patterns covered by this check.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request range changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, a Rust file. The diff contains no Swift files or Swift concurrency changes. The cmux Swift @concurrent`` check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff changes only cmux-tui/crates/chatmux-relay/src/pty_deps.rs, which is Rust code. It introduces no Swift, SwiftPM, Xcode project, or package-boundary changes. The Swift package boundary check is therefore not applicable.
