Summary

Bakes the cmux Cloud devbox on the Freestyle public platform (api.freestyle.sh, freestyle@0.2.9) with the desktop layer from the retired Blaxel sandbox/cmux-devbox image, and makes the checked-in manifest the source of truth for the image users get.

Rebased onto main after #11602 / the E2B+Daytona removal and the two "record/refresh Freestyle snapshot" commits. Squashed to one commit.

How this lands next to what main already did

Main recorded cmux's own validated Freestyle snapshot (freestyle-cmux-devbox-20260902c, sh-940ec3bc…, mise-based image, baked on cmux's account) and wrote tests saying Freestyle resolves only through FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT. This PR goes the other way, on purpose, and reviewers should weigh in:

  • The manifest is the only source of truth for images. FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT is ignored. The resolver serves the manifest entry flagged defaultForKind (base when the client names no kind), in local dev and every deployed runtime alike; a client-requested image must be in the manifest. Rollback is a manifest revert plus deploy. The env audit reports a lingering FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT as stale configuration to remove; it is no longer a required key, and .env.example and the dev loader drop it. Production keeps serving the same image it does today because that image (…20260902c) is now the manifest base default.
  • The desktop devbox from this PR (freestyle-cmux-devbox-20260902h, sh-1d66b9ca…) is listed as validated but NOT a default. Snapshots are account-scoped and this one was baked on Ben's Freestyle team, so it is a reference bake. Promote it under cmux's key with one command (below), commit the manifest diff, and it becomes the desktop+base default.

Design points (agreed with Freestyle)

  • Use what the base ships. freestyle/ubuntu already has Node LTS (nvm, symlinked into /usr/local/bin), Bun, Python 3.12, uv, Docker running from boot, and its own copies of Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode. The bake keeps that toolchain (no mise on Freestyle) and only replaces the agent copies with the exact Dockerfile pins via the base's npm install -g, symlinking every agent bin into /usr/local/bin so non-login daemon panes resolve them. Dropping the pins to track the base's versions is a one-step change if preferred.
  • ubuntu is the one user. uid 1000, passwordless sudo, the API's default exec user and the SSH default. SSH, terminal panes, coding agents (claude --dangerously-skip-permissions needs non-root) and the desktop session all land in /home/ubuntu. The bake creates no users.
  • Login banner is cmux welcome. cmux-motd (pam_motd) replaces the stock Ubuntu and Freestyle motd with the cmux cloud chevron logo the CLI's cloud SSH wrapper already uses, the Shortcuts block, and the Docs/Discord/GitHub/Email links. Ubuntu's legal notice is silenced, the devshell is sourced once from per-user rc files (after Ubuntu's own PS1, so the cmux prompt wins), ble.sh's tput-cache seeds are readable by the work user (they were 0700 root, which made every first login print the tput notice), and the bake plus the verifier assert two real interactive logins as ubuntu print nothing from ble.sh or bash and show the cmux prompt.

What the desktop snapshot carries

The devbox plus the Blaxel desktop, ported to web/services/vms/images/devbox/desktop/:

  • openbox + TigerVNC on 5901 (loopback only), noVNC via websockify on 6901 (the CLI's cloudVMDesktopPort), tint2 dock (Chrome, Files, Ghostty), CC0 wallpaper, Ghostty 1.3.1 (pinned Ubuntu 24.04 community .deb), Chrome with first run pre-accepted, run by a cmux-desktop systemd unit as ubuntu.
  • cmux-tui daemon under the cmux-tui-daemon systemd unit bound [::]:1337, unchanged contract (still runs as root; see follow-ups).
  • Includes main's supports_websockets = false codex pin check.

Verified live with verify-devbox-image.ts: toolchain, exact agent pins from a clean login shell and a non-login shell as ubuntu (an earlier bake silently ran the base's Claude Code 2.1.234 in real logins; the verifier now catches that), ble.sh ghost text under a PTY, byte-identical baked files, agent-config generator, cmux-tui install + daemon on 1337, ubuntu sudo, docker as ubuntu, silent logins + cmux prompt, seeded tput caches, banner, desktop unit active, 5901 loopback-only + 6901 serving noVNC, openbox/tint2 up, 1440x900 display, Ghostty, Chrome first-run. Desktop and SSH were also exercised by hand on VMs published through a style.dev TLS rule.

The promote flow (the "script that outputs a snapshot id and commits it")

bun run devbox:promote -- freestyle          # bake -> verify -> manifest write -> pointer slug; last line: IMAGE_ID sh-…
bun run devbox:promote -- freestyle --image sh-…        # verify + record an existing snapshot
bun run devbox:promote -- freestyle --bake-result bake.json
  • promote-devbox-image.ts appends one manifest entry per kind flagged defaultForKind (and defaultForLocalDev), demotes the previous defaults, never removes entries, and refuses anything the verifier did not pass. imageManifestProblems guards the invariants (one default per kind, one local default, defaults validated, unique versions); tests/vm-image-manifest.test.ts runs them against the real file.
  • Bakes write a --out JSON and print IMAGE_ID <id> as the last stdout line. Freestyle snapshot slugs are reassignable on the new API, so promote moves the cmux-devbox slug onto the new id as a dashboard convenience; production boots from the immutable id.

Other changes

  • build-devbox-freestyle.ts: files go in through vm.fs.writeFile (atomic, sha256-verified, explicit modes); --no-desktop, --replace-slug, --keep-builder; a bake takes ~4 min.
  • resolver.ts: an image listed under two kinds resolves to the entry of the requested kind (the desktop snapshot is a superset of a base one, so one snapshot serves both).
  • defaultProviderAudit.mjs: manifest-only (see above); flags a stale FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT.
  • Manifest entries record repoCommit.
  • READMEs for the devbox image and the VM service updated; package scripts devbox:bake:freestyle, devbox:verify, devbox:promote.

Not in this PR (follow-ups)

  • Promote the desktop devbox under cmux's Freestyle key (bun run devbox:promote -- freestyle) so it becomes the default.
  • Freestyle driver still runs the daemon as root and pins linuxUser: "root"; sessions should move to ubuntu.
  • Ingress to 6901: desktopWrapper.ts already allowlists *.vm.cmux.sh; a Freestyle TLS rule (style.dev needs no verification) is the intended path, plus a per-VM token. With Cloud VMs: private per-user Freestyle VPC + WireGuard tunnel from the cmux app #11602's private VPCs the rule would target the VM's VPC address.

Verification

  • bun test tests/vm-*.test.ts tests/cloud-vm-*.test.ts on the rebased branch: 349 pass / 0 fail.
  • tsc --noEmit clean; eslint clean on the touched scripts.
  • Live: bake + verify (all checks passed) + promote on the public platform; desktop and SSH banner checked by hand.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b67b8

The PR adds a privileged image-bake and promotion workflow that can execute untrusted dispatch values alongside production credentials, while the default VM image includes an integrity-unpinned nightly dependency. This creates high-impact credential-exposure and supply-chain risk, so the PR is not safe to merge until those paths are constrained; additional bounded build and manifest follow-ups remain.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 35.71% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 28 functions across 15 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The PR range is 5278b028b1..b67b8dce9a. Its 30 changed paths are workflow, JavaScript/TypeScript, JSON, shell, Dockerfile, documentation, image, and tests. git diff --name-only ... -- '*.swift' returns no files. Therefore the PR introduces no production Swift declaration or access pattern for this actor-isolation check to assess.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull request diff against origin/main contains 30 changed paths under .github/ and web/, with no .swift files. Therefore, it introduces no production Swift blocking or timing-based synchronization covered by the check.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only Cloud VM devbox workflow, scripts, image files, manifest, resolver, and tests under .github/web. The aggregate diff against origin/main contains no changes to Sources/TerminalController.swift or Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, and no added browser/WebKit/socket-worker automation commands. Therefore the specified browser automation off-main failure conditions are not introduced or worsened.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

The custom check is not applicable. The actual HEAD-to-parent diff changes only web/services/vms/images/manifest.json and contains no Swift source, main-actor code, interactive handler, or expensive agent-history load. The manifest diff contains none of the specified load identifiers or parsing operations.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

No cache substitution matches the check. The production diff adds fresh readFileSync/writeFileSync manifest operations, uses returned provider snapshot IDs, and verifies images before promotion. resolver.ts only changes manifest kind selection; its static manifest import was already present and is not replaced by a cache. The cache references in the Freestyle bake are image build assets, not cached authoritative reads in a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot path.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

The PR introduces fixed wall-clock synchronization in production desktop scripts. cmux-desktop-boot:14-16 runs start-vnc.sh, ignores failure, then sleeps 30 seconds before retrying. start-vnc.sh:52 polls port 5901 with sleep 0.2, and start-vnc.sh:81-90 polls display geometry with sleep 2. These hide process, socket-startup, and rendering races. The bake and live verifier also add fixed waits after tmux startup and while waiting for desktop ports (build-devbox-freestyle.ts:180,302 and verify-devbox-image.ts:163,173). Git history shows the desktop delay lines were introduced by this PR, not pre-existing code.

Resolution

Remove the desktop supervisor sleep loop and let systemd own component lifecycle with per-process services, failure events, and explicit readiness dependencies. Replace the 5901 polling loop with a VNC owner readiness notification or a bounded socket handshake. Replace the geometry polling loop with an X11/RandR or noVNC resize event. Replace tmux and desktop verification sleeps with owner completion signals or cancellation-aware bounded waiters. Keep unchanged legacy smoke-test delays only if they remain test-only; do not add further fixed-delay invocations.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

web/scripts/devbox-image-common.ts:388-390 adds an O(n²) duplicate-version check: versions.filter(...) calls versions.indexOf(...) for every manifest entry. The production promotion path calls imageManifestProblems(next) at web/scripts/promote-devbox-image.ts:166 after each promotion. The manifest is append-only (devbox-image-common.ts:307-311, README lines 103-106), so manifest.images is not a fixed-size collection; it currently has 18 entries and grows with each bake. This is a PR-introduced nested full-collection scan without a documented bound or measurement.

Resolution

Replace the versions.filter(...indexOf(...)) check with a one-pass Set or Map over manifest.images. For each entry, build the provider/version key, report it when already present, then add it to the set. Keep the existing default and local-default checks unchanged. This makes imageManifestProblems linear in the append-only manifest size.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff from merge base 5278b02 to HEAD contains 30 web/workflow files and no Swift, Objective-C, or header files. Therefore, it introduces no cmux-owned Swift concurrency pattern covered by the check.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from merge base 5278b02 to HEAD contains no .swift files. All changed paths are workflow, web TypeScript/JavaScript/JSON, shell, documentation, image, and test files. Therefore the Swift @concurrent check is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS — The pull-request diff against origin/main contains no .swift files and no SwiftPM or Xcode project changes. The changes are limited to web TypeScript/JavaScript, workflow, documentation, tests, manifest data, shell files, and an image asset. Therefore, the Swift package-boundary rule is not applicable.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly identifies the main changes: the Freestyle devbox snapshot, desktop and base toolchain updates, promotion flow, and manifest source of truth. It is longer than preferred but remains specific and directly related.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is comprehensive and covers the change rationale, design, testing, verification, follow-ups, and deployment behavior. It omits several template sections, including the Demo Video, Review Trigger, and Checklist, but the required technical information is otherwise substantially present.

Use process lifecycle supervision instead of a 30-second repair loop.

This fixed delay controls desktop recovery after a component exits. Run the desktop components under service-owned restart and dependency rules, or use explicit process-exit notifications. Do not use elapsed time as the recovery signal.

As per coding guidelines and path instructions, production shell code must not use fixed sleeps or polling as synchronization.

recovery from explicit process-exit notifications. Ensure recovery is driven by
component lifecycle events rather than elapsed-time polling, and remove the

Not changed here: systemd already owns restart (Restart=always) for the supervisor; the 30s re-probe is a health poll for components inside the session. Converting to per-component units is a follow-up.

@lawrencecchen, Restart=always only restarts cmux-desktop-boot when that supervisor exits. It does not supervise Xvnc, openbox, tint2, the resize watcher, or websockify, because start-vnc.sh starts them in the background and then exits.

Line 16 in cmux-desktop-boot remains the recovery mechanism for those components. The concern therefore still applies. If per-component systemd units are out of scope for this PR, would you like a follow-up GitHub issue for that work?

Remove the fixed startup poll.

This loop uses a fixed sleep 0.2 to synchronize Xvnc startup. Replace it with an owner-provided readiness signal or supervised dependency that starts dependent components only after Xvnc is ready.

As per coding guidelines and path instructions, production shell code must not use fixed sleeps or polling as synchronization.

Replace the listener polling loop with a readiness signal.

The sleep 1 loop uses elapsed time to synchronize desktop startup. A loaded builder can fail the bake after 60 seconds even if cmux-desktop becomes ready shortly after. Make the service report readiness only after VNC and noVNC are ready, then run the checks once.

As per coding guidelines and path instructions, production build and runtime code must not use fixed sleeps or polling as synchronization.

@lawrencecchen, the loop is a bake-time validation check, not runtime behavior. However, it is still new synchronization in a production build script. The applicable rule also covers build scripts.

The 60-second bound does not remove the fixed-delay polling behavior. A readiness notification is the minimal reliable replacement. If this work is out of scope for this PR, would you like me to open a follow-up issue?

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Replace the fixed synchronization delay with a completion signal.

Line 173 starts an interactive tmux shell and waits exactly three seconds before cmp. On a slower first shell, the cache file may not exist yet. A valid image can then fail verification and block promotion. Wait for a shell-owned completion event or another cancellation-aware, bounded readiness mechanism. Do not add another fixed delay.

As per coding guidelines, “In non-test TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, and non-Swift build/runtime scripts, do not introduce or materially expand fixed delays used as synchronization.” As per path instructions, “For production runtime, script, and build changes, flag fixed sleeps, delayed dispatch, polling, or wall-clock waits used as synchronization.”

completion signal or another bounded, cancellation-aware readiness mechanism.
Ensure cmp runs only after the interactive shell has created the expected blesh

command.

Not changed here: verification-only probe with a bounded delay; a valid image failing here blocks promotion rather than users. Follow-up.

@lawrencecchen, acknowledged. The verification-only scope limits user impact.

The fixed delay can still reject a valid image and block promotion. The readiness-signal change remains valid follow-up work. Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for it?

Learning: In `web/scripts/verify-devbox-image.ts`, the `tmux` verification probes use bounded fixed delays only in image verification. A false failure blocks image promotion rather than affecting a running user VM. Replacing these delays with readiness signals is deferred follow-up work.

…_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT is ignored

The resolver no longer reads an env selector: a request with an image must
name a manifest entry (or run where unmanifested images are allowed), and
anything else gets the manifest entry flagged defaultForKind (base when no
kind is given), in local dev and every deployed runtime alike. Rollback is
a manifest revert. The env audit reports a lingering
FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT as stale configuration, it is no longer a
required key, the dev loader and .env.example drop it, and the
defaultForLocalDev flag is now legacy (unused).

…y/promote, lazy desktop hashing, Ghostty seed check

- defaultProviderAudit serves only a validationStatus "passed" base
  default; an unvalidated default is reported and image stays null.
- verify-devbox-image takes --expect-kind and fails when the baked
  /etc/cmux/image-stamp disagrees; promote-devbox-image passes the kind it
  is about to record, so a base image cannot become the desktop default.
- Desktop asset hashes are computed inside the desktop branch instead of at
  module load, so a base-only verification never reads desktop files.
- The bake fails when the xterm-ghostty ble.sh cache seed is missing.

Reviewed: resolver/manifest logic, prod env audit against the live Vercel env (serves sh-940ec3bc from the manifest; only problem is the now-ignored FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT var, to delete after deploy), CodeRabbit findings triaged and fixed in 1548528, full web suite green apart from main-known failures.
