web: bake the cmux-tui daemon into the Freestyle devbox; create is vms.create plus one file write - #11666
Conversation
…ity bound to the instance id The supervisor reads the platform instance id from the metadata service and wipes the remote identity when it differs from the one the state dir was bound to, so a memory-snapshot clone starts its own daemon with a fresh Noise identity. The bake installs the pinned build with the driver's install command, proves the daemon answers on [::]:1337, then parks it on the builder so the snapshot never carries a live identity.
…n and distinct clone identities pkill/pgrep patterns use [s]tart so they never match the exec shell that carries the command line.
…as the base default Verified with scripts/verify-devbox-image.ts: daemon up by itself 325 ms after the first probe, current pin, identity bound to the instance id, distinct identities across two machines from the snapshot.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesFreestyle daemon lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR moves daemon startup into a baked snapshot and relies on instance metadata to create per-machine identities. If metadata is unavailable, startup and healing can accept a daemon without proving that its identity belongs to the current VM, which could weaken isolation between cloned machines; merge should wait for fail-closed enforcement or explicit security-owner acceptance. The promoted snapshot is also still mislabeled in the VM README, and fixed readiness waits may fail on slower hosts. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The PR does not replace a fresh authoritative read with a cache in a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot path. The changed TypeScript adds a pinned daemon build to a Freestyle image and manifest, and it moves daemon installation from VM creation to the bake. Full details: Cmux No Hacky SleepsExplanation The PR adds fixed wall-clock waits and polling in the production Freestyle bake script. Resolution Replace the bake startup loop with a readiness signal owned by the daemon or supervisor, such as a systemd readiness notification or another explicit completion event. Replace Full details: Cmux Algorithmic ComplexityExplanation PASS: The four-commit diff adds no prohibited scalable-collection algorithm. The new supervisor loop is a daemon retry loop, not a collection scan. Verification loops over a fixed command list, retries a fixed 45 times, and compares two VMs. The route change scans the network list twice sequentially, which remains O(n), not a nested or per-target rescan. Other changes are metadata, documentation, tests, or fixed-size operations. No unbenchmarked slower path for roughly 1000 user records was introduced.

| sha256, from the artifacts manifest. Freestyle's delivery mechanism is a | ||
| systemd unit in the VM snapshot running the `cmux-devbox-boot` supervisor, with | ||
| the pinned binary baked at `/root/.cmux/bin/cmux-tui`. A Freestyle snapshot is | ||
| a memory image, so the supervisor binds the daemon identity to the platform | ||
| instance id (Firecracker MMDS `instance-id`) and mints a fresh identity on a | ||
| clone; the bake parks the daemon before snapshotting so no live identity is | ||
| ever shared. Create therefore runs no guest bootstrap. (Other providers had | ||
| their own rows here — a template-baked binary and a snapshot entrypoint — | ||

…hanges; derive parks before every snapshot A clone of a live machine (derive-devbox-sizes resizes a clone and snapshots it; snapshot/restore of a customer machine) resumes with a daemon holding the source machine's identity. The supervisor now runs the daemon as a background child, re-reads the instance id every tick, and stops, wipes, and restarts a daemon bound to another machine. The park shell is shared by the bake and the size derive. The driver's health check also requires the bound id to be this machine's on instance-binding images, so attach never mints an invitation from a daemon that is about to be re-keyed.

The live files.cmux.com pin moved between the bake and its verify. The verifier now checks the binary against /etc/cmux/cmux-tui-pin and reports live drift instead of failing, and the attach heal reinstalls only a missing or corrupt binary on baked images instead of chasing the live pin.

Create is vms.create + grow-only resize + one model-plane env write (main, #11666); the edge readiness probe runs right after the env write instead of inside the removed create-time bootstrap. The edge1 devbox ladder stays the manifest default; main's freestyle-cmux-devbox-20260902e is listed as a non-default base image.

Create was
vms.createplus a guest bootstrap of about 2.5 s: download the pinned cmux-tui from files.cmux.com, write the model-plane env, restart the systemd unit, pollserver statusat 1 s. The Freestyle create itself is 110 to 250 ms. This PR bakes the pinned binary into the devbox snapshot and cuts create tovms.create, the grow-only resize, and one file write.A Freestyle snapshot is a memory image. Two clones probed from the same snapshot had the same boot id, MAC, addresses, hostname, and uptime; nothing inside the guest tells a clone apart. A daemon left running at snapshot time would hand one Noise static identity to every machine created from it, and the Mac pins the daemon key by fingerprint. The only per-machine signal is the Firecracker metadata service (
latest/meta-data/instance-id, EC2-style token dance), socmux-devbox-bootkeys the daemon identity on it the way cloud-init keys first boot on the instance id. The supervisor owns the daemon as a background child and re-reads the id every tick: a different id than the one the state dir is bound to means a clone, so it stops the daemon, wipes the remote state, and starts a fresh daemon bound to this id. That also covers a clone of a live machine (the driver's snapshot/restore, or a size derive), not only bake clones. While a machine's id equals the recorded bake id the daemon stays parked, which is how the bake andderive-devbox-sizes.tssnapshot without a live identity (shareddevboxParkDaemonCommand). The container Dockerfile keeps the old behaviour: no metadata service, no binary, wait for a driver install.The driver's health check on instance-binding images also requires the bound id to be this machine's, so attach never mints an invitation from a daemon about to be re-keyed.
pgrep -f 'cmux-tui server start'insidevm.execmatched the exec shell carrying that command line, so the old health check could report a dead daemon as running; the patterns now use[s]tart.Measured from this Mac against the baked snapshot: provider create path 139 to 224 ms, daemon answering dual-stack 465 to 622 ms after create started, each clone bound to its own id. The verifier no longer replays a bootstrap; it waits for the baked daemon, checks the current pin, the instance binding, and that a second machine from the same snapshot holds a different identity and machine secrets. A live-clone test (snapshot a running machine, boot a clone) shows the clone re-keys itself and the source keeps its identity.
Trade-off: the cmux-tui version is frozen in the snapshot. A new files.cmux.com pin reaches new machines through a rebake (
bun scripts/promote-devbox-image.ts freestyle --no-desktop), not at create.
