Closes #11761

What the Freestyle base snapshot now bakes

The desktop layer under web/services/vms/images/devbox/desktop/, the same stack the retired Blaxel cmux-devbox image had, now in both recipes:

  • TigerVNC (Xvnc :1, RFB 5901 loopback-only, no VNC-level auth) serving an openbox session
  • the tint2 dock (Chrome, Files/Thunar, Ghostty launchers) and the CC0 mountain-lake wallpaper via feh, re-filled on noVNC remote resize
  • noVNC + websockify on 6901, the port the app's Displays row and cmux vm open <m>:desktop open
  • the accessibility bus (at-spi2-core, at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately) and gdbus, so the pinned cua-driver (0.23.2, already installed) can read window trees; TigerVNC's clipboard helper (vncconfig -nowin) so copy/paste works between the noVNC pane and X apps
  • the session publishes DISPLAY and the accessibility bus (AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS for AT-SPI clients, AT_SPI_BUS for cua-driver doctor) at /run/cmux-desktop/env; /etc/cmux/desktop-env.sh (profile.d + the bashrc chain, so every cmux-tui pane) points any shell without a DISPLAY at the desktop while it is up, so agent-browser, xdotool and cua-driver mcp act on the screen a person can watch

The Dockerfile is the reference recipe again: it moves to ubuntu:24.04 (what freestyle/ubuntu runs), bakes the desktop layer, and self-checks it at build time through the real boot supervisor. The desktop package list and the Ghostty .deb are Dockerfile ARGs that devbox-image-common.ts reads, and DEVBOX_DESKTOP_INSTALLS is the single file → path map the Dockerfile's COPYs, the Freestyle bake, and the verifier are all pinned to, so the two recipes cannot drift. web/services/vms/images/desktop.ts is the shared contract (ports, user, display, unit, runtime dir) the driver, bake, verifier, and tests import.

Boot / supervision

  • Freestyle VM (systemd): the cmux-desktop unit runs cmux-desktop-boot as the work user ubuntu (RuntimeDirectory=cmux-desktop for the published env) and re-runs the idempotent start-vnc.sh every 30 s; every component is guarded by a liveness probe, one D-Bus session bus is reused across passes.
  • Readiness is owner-signalled, never inferred from elapsed time (review feedback, the repo's no-hacky-sleeps rule): the unit is Type=notify and start-vnc.sh sends READY once the display accepts connections, noVNC is bound and the env is published, so systemctl start cmux-desktop returns exactly when the screen is usable (that is what the driver's heal and the bake block on; NOTIFY_SOCKET is stripped from everything else the session spawns because dbus-daemon would otherwise report READY for the whole unit). Xvnc readiness is its own -displayfd, the accessibility bus is awaited by name (gdbus wait org.a11y.Bus), the resize watcher reacts to RandR events from xev. websockify has no readiness signal, so its 6901 bind is the one bounded connect wait.
  • Container (no systemd): cmux-devbox-boot runs the same cmux-desktop-boot as the uid-1000 account and restarts it if it exits. Under systemd it starts nothing; the bake and the verifier count exactly one desktop supervisor.
  • The cmux-tui session daemon contract is unchanged: the daemon loop in cmux-devbox-boot is byte-identical to the drivers' command (test-pinned); the desktop is a sibling process, never a child of the daemon.

Opening it (web driver, no Swift changes)

FreestyleProvider.openPort (the POST /api/vm/[id]/open-port path the Displays row already calls) returns the machine's private VPC address over the owner's WireGuard tunnel, the same path the daemon route takes: http://<private v4>:6901/vnc.html?path=websockify for the desktop (after one blocking systemctl start cmux-desktop, a no-op on a healthy machine), the bare origin for other ports, a ledger-only token. The Ghostty .deb is now verified against a checked-in SHA-256 in both recipes. noVNC has no auth of its own, so a machine outside a private network gets an error, never a public URL. The sidebar rework in #11762 can keep using this endpoint or read the address directly; nothing in Sources/ changes here.

Verification

  • web: bun run test (2292 tests), bun run typecheck, eslint on the touched files. New/updated tests: vm-devbox-desktop.test.ts, vm-devbox-image.test.ts, vm-freestyle-provider.test.ts (commit 1 adds them red, commit 2 turns them green).
  • Live, on Freestyle machines from the current default snapshot with the new desktop files installed over it: the full session comes up (Xvnc, dbus, at-spi bus + registry, openbox, tint2, vncconfig, resize watcher, websockify), /run/cmux-desktop/env is published, DISPLAY=:1 reaches root and ubuntu login shells and bash -i panes, root has no session bus, cua-driver doctor connects to X11 as both users, the accessibility bus answers dbus-send/gdbus from both users, a killed dock component comes back on the next supervisor pass, and an x11grab screenshot shows the wallpaper and dock.
  • docker build --platform linux/amd64 of the Dockerfile (amd64 emulation on the Mac): every layer builds on ubuntu:24.04 and the build-time self-check passed (desktop-self-check-ok: the container's cmux-devbox-boot brought up Xvnc 1440x900, openbox, tint2, vncconfig, the accessibility bus and websockify as the uid-1000 user, both ports answered, root reached the display, login shells got DISPLAY from the published env, and the session was torn down before the layer was committed).
  • Live bake + pin (done twice; the second after the readiness redesign): bun run devbox:promote -- freestyle --slug cmux-devbox-11761b --pointer-slug none under cmux's Freestyle key: bake → verify-devbox-image.ts ALL CHECKS PASSED (including the desktop checks: Type=notify/NotifyAccess=all pinned, cua-driver doctor reports X11 connection: connected and AT-SPI: bus address present as ubuntu, the accessibility registry answers gdbus, one desktop supervisor, wallpaper on the root window) → sizes derived and re-booted → manifest. Pinned as the default for both kinds at every size: sm sh-60effaffd5404e5ab8dbdb08bd5f5eed, md sh-1ce6c11f5d6e4f8e98c19454e9a38751, lg sh-bda89603f1ab41a2902ac5d781e2c6ce, xl sh-95b526e17c234593a45edfb572e49396, 2xl sh-236a1866dd244082ba0f06829df2358d (the 11761a, 20260903b and edge1 ladders stay listed for rollback).
  • Readiness dry run on a live machine: systemctl restart cmux-desktop returns in 0.9 s with noVNC already bound; the driver's heal brings a stopped desktop up in 0.6 s and returns only when it is usable; a base image (no start script) exits 3; a second supervisor pass reuses the session bus and restarts a killed dock; xrandr --fb 1280x800 re-fills the wallpaper through the event watcher.
  • Dogfood: a demo machine from the rebaked snapshot, created inside the reviewer's own VPC, opened through the tunnel in a cmux browser pane from the URL openPort returned.
  • End to end on the new snapshot (repeated on the rebaked 11761b snapshot; two machines in one Freestyle VPC, the real FreestyleProvider.openPort, all resources deleted after): the desktop is up by itself after boot; openPort(6901) returned http://10.18.71.1:6901/vnc.html?path=websockify and openPort(3000) the bare origin with no guest exec; the VPC peer fetched noVNC's page at that address and completed an RFB handshake through websockify (HTTP/1.1 101 then RFB 003.008); a machine outside a private network and the daemon port were refused with the documented errors; cua-driver doctor sees the display and the accessibility bus from a root login shell and from ubuntu; an x11grab screenshot shows the wallpaper and dock.

Trade-offs

  • Dockerfile base debian:bookworm-slim → ubuntu:24.04: the reference recipe now matches the only provider and the pinned Ghostty .deb installs there; nothing built the Debian recipe.
  • cmux sessions still run as root (a driver change tracked in the devbox README), so root panes get DISPLAY and the accessibility bus but not ubuntu's D-Bus session bus (the bus admits only its owner).
  • The Ghostty .deb is a community build for Ubuntu 24.04 pinned by release tag (no upstream .deb exists), as before.
  • Machines created before private networking have no desktop URL; they must be recreated. Opening 6901 publicly would expose an unauthenticated desktop.

Contract tests for the desktop layer every cmux Cloud machine must boot:
TigerVNC on :1 with an openbox session, the tint2 dock, the CC0 wallpaper,
TigerVNC's clipboard helper, the accessibility bus for computer-use, and
noVNC on 6901, carried by the Dockerfile (started from cmux-devbox-boot when
there is no systemd) and by the Freestyle bake (the cmux-desktop unit) from
one install map and the Dockerfile's own package/Ghostty pins, with the
session's DISPLAY and accessibility bus published to every shell family.
Plus the Freestyle driver's openPort: the desktop and forwarded ports at the
machine's private VPC address over the owner's tunnel, the desktop healed
first, no public URL for a machine outside a private network.

Red on purpose: the shared desktop contract module, the Dockerfile layer,
the boot supervisor's desktop path and the driver's openPort land in the
next commit (regression-test policy: the test commit fails, the fix commit
passes).

…at the machine's private address

The Freestyle bake already carried an openbox/TigerVNC desktop, but the
Dockerfile (the reference recipe) had only a headless Xvfb, nothing pointed a
shell or the cua computer-use driver at the screen, and no driver could open
port 6901, so the Displays row failed on every Freestyle machine.

Image (web/services/vms/images/devbox): the Dockerfile moves to ubuntu:24.04
(what freestyle/ubuntu runs) and bakes the same desktop layer the Freestyle
bake installs: TigerVNC, openbox, the tint2 dock (Chrome, Files, Ghostty),
Thunar, feh + the CC0 mountain-lake wallpaper, at-spi2-core, dbus, gdbus,
TigerVNC's clipboard helper, noVNC + websockify. The desktop package list and
the Ghostty .deb are Dockerfile ARGs that devbox-image-common.ts reads, and
DEVBOX_DESKTOP_INSTALLS is the one file->path map the Dockerfile's COPYs, the
Freestyle bake and the verifier are pinned to. cmux-devbox-boot runs
cmux-desktop-boot as the uid-1000 user when there is no systemd (containers)
and starts nothing under systemd, where the cmux-desktop unit owns it; the
daemon loop is untouched. The Dockerfile self-checks the whole desktop at
build time through the real supervisor and tears it down before the layer is
committed.

Session (desktop/start-vnc.sh): one D-Bus session bus reused across
supervisor passes, at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately, openbox, the
wallpaper, tint2, vncconfig -nowin (copy/paste between the noVNC pane and X
apps), the resize watcher, websockify. It publishes DISPLAY and the
accessibility bus (AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS for AT-SPI clients, AT_SPI_BUS for
cua-driver doctor) at /run/cmux-desktop/env (the unit's RuntimeDirectory);
/etc/cmux/desktop-env.sh, sourced from profile.d and the bashrc chain, points
any shell without a DISPLAY at the desktop while it is up, so agent-browser,
xdotool and cua-driver mcp act on the screen a person can watch; the
session's own user also inherits its D-Bus session bus, root does not.

Driver (web/services/vms/drivers/freestyle.ts): openPort returns the
machine's private VPC address (v4 first, the daemon route's reasoning),
http://<addr>:6901/vnc.html?path=websockify for the desktop after a bounded
guest heal that (re)starts cmux-desktop when noVNC is not listening, the bare
origin for other ports, a ledger-only token, and never a public URL: noVNC
has no auth of its own, so a machine outside a private network gets an
error. web/services/vms/images/desktop.ts is the shared contract (ports,
user, display, unit, runtime dir) the driver, bake, verifier and tests
import.

Bake/verify: the desktop-unit step and the verifier prove both ports (RFB
loopback-only), the session processes, the wallpaper on the root window,
exactly one desktop supervisor, DISPLAY in root's and ubuntu's login shells
(buses only for ubuntu), root reaching the display, cua-driver doctor seeing
the display and the accessibility bus, the registry answering, and every
desktop file byte-identical. promote --pointer-slug none no longer passes the
literal "none" to derive-devbox-sizes as a slug prefix.

Trade-offs: the Dockerfile base moves from debian:bookworm-slim to
ubuntu:24.04 so the reference recipe matches the only provider and the
pinned Ghostty .deb installs; cmux sessions still run as root, so root shells
get DISPLAY but not ubuntu's session bus.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a0755

The default Freestyle VM image now provides a noVNC desktop, but desktop opening and accessibility readiness still have unresolved failure modes that can leave users without a usable desktop or automation support. The new desktop guidance is also unavailable in supported localized documentation, so this change should not merge until these issues are addressed or explicitly accepted.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides a detailed summary, rationale, implementation scope, testing results, verification evidence, and trade-offs. It does not include the template's Demo Video, Review Trigger, or Checklist sections, but the substantive description is mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes cover the desktop image layer, supervision, Docker and Freestyle replay, verification, tests, snapshot promotion, and Desktop/Displays opening flow required by #11761. However, #11761 specifically describes routing through the VM's stable public IPv6, while this PR returns a private VPC address and rejects machines without private networking.

Resolution

Reconcile this difference with #11761. If stable public IPv6 access remains required, implement and verify that route. If private VPC access is the approved design, update the issue acceptance criteria and related documentation to replace the public IPv6 requirement explicitly and document the private-network prerequisite and security rationale.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The image manifest, snapshot-size derivation, promotion scripts, shared desktop contract, documentation, driver behavior, verification, and tests all support the desktop baking and private-access objectives. No unrelated code changes are evident.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 73.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 15 functions across 14 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The pull request introduces no Swift changes. git diff origin/main...HEAD -- '*.swift' returns no paths, and no changed path contains Swift, Xcode, or Package.swift markers. The changed files are documentation, TypeScript, Rust, JSON, Dockerfile, shell scripts, and tests. Therefore the Swift actor-isolation failure conditions are not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The pull-request range from merge-base 8fa163da7c1052fcdfe4059f92d1367ebbb22b31 to HEAD contains no changed .swift files, and the Swift diff is 0 bytes. The changed files are web/TypeScript, Rust, shell, service, Dockerfile, JSON, and documentation files, so the PR introduces no production Swift blocking or timing synchronization.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

The check is not applicable to this pull request. The actual diff from origin/main changes Rust, documentation, and web VM files only. It contains no Swift changes and does not modify Sources/TerminalController.swift, ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, browser socket commands, worker routing, or policy tests. The patch also contains no browser/WebKit automation routing changes.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS — The check is not applicable. The pull-request diff from merge base 8fa163d to HEAD contains no Swift files. It contains TypeScript, Rust, shell, Markdown, service, and JSON changes only, so it does not add or move an expensive synchronous Swift agent-history load onto the main actor or an interactive path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

No failure condition is introduced. The changed TypeScript adds a fresh fs.vms.snapshots.list() read for the master slug and a fresh vm.data() read for port addresses. It does not replace an authoritative read with a cache. The new lease path persists only a hash of a newly generated token. Existing cache uses in routeHelpers.ts and existing build caches are not changed into persistence or history consumers. No changed production Swift or JavaScript cache substitution was found.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

The PR adds a production polling wait in web/services/vms/images/devbox/desktop/start-vnc.sh. wait_listening() repeatedly runs ss and sleeps 0.1 seconds until a deadline, and the script uses it for the websockify 6901 listener before sending systemd READY (lines 74-80 and 228). The diff also replaces the prior Xvnc listener polling with this helper. This hides the websockify startup/readiness race behind elapsed wall-clock time. The helper is not cancellation-aware, and the tests only assert source text; they do not provide an owner-signalled readiness mechanism. Existing unrelated sleeps were not used for this finding. Replace the polling helper with a readiness signal owned by the listener, such as socket activation or a websockify wrapper that emits a readiness file descriptor/notification after successful bind. Consume that signal and retain a bounded failure timeout with tests.

Resolution

Remove wait_listening() and its sleep 0.1 loop from the production desktop starter. Make the websockify listener or its supervisor own readiness and emit a callback, readiness file descriptor, or systemd notification after bind succeeds. Have start-vnc.sh consume that event before publishing READY; use a bounded, cancellation-aware timeout only to report startup failure, and add tests for the readiness and failure paths.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

No algorithmic-complexity failure was introduced. The new production scans are linear or explicitly bounded: freestylePortAddress performs at most two linear passes over VM network addresses, derive-devbox-sizes.ts performs one snapshot lookup, and the bake/verifier iterate fixed collections such as 5 agent pins, 3 rc files, and 9 desktop installs. The shell retry loops use fixed deadlines or iteration counts. The manifest contains 58 fixed image-catalog entries, not roughly 1000 user-owned records. Existing manifest validation scans were not changed by the PR.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from merge-base 8fa163d to HEAD a075519 contains no Swift files, Sources files, or Swift project metadata. Therefore it introduces no cmux-owned Swift concurrency pattern covered by the rule.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff is non-Swift. Comparing HEAD with the PR's upstream parent 89e4701f88fa6b40f1c8d7c81f5af78e044ddfa0 shows 23 changed paths and zero .swift paths. The Swift changes visible against the stale local main belong to earlier history, not this pull request, so this check is inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS: The pull-request diff from base 8fa163d to HEAD contains no Swift, SwiftPM Package.swift, Xcode project, or production Sources/ changes. The changed paths are web, docs, Rust, and generated/test-related files. Therefore, the Swift package-boundary failure conditions are not applicable.

…igest, review fixes

Review feedback (CodeRabbit, the repo's no-hacky-sleeps rule): the desktop
heal and the session start waited on elapsed time. Now every readiness
signal comes from its owner:

- cmux-desktop is Type=notify (NotifyAccess=all, TimeoutStartSec=120):
  start-vnc.sh sends READY once the display accepts connections, noVNC is
  bound and /run/cmux-desktop/env is published, so `systemctl start` (the
  driver's port-open heal, the bake's enable --now) returns exactly when the
  screen is usable. NOTIFY_SOCKET is stripped from everything the session
  spawns and handed only to that final notify: dbus-daemon is sd_notify-aware
  and reported READY for the whole unit the moment the session bus started
  (caught on a live machine).
- Xvnc readiness is its own -displayfd (a FIFO opened read/write, read with
  a deadline); the accessibility bus is awaited by name (gdbus wait
  org.a11y.Bus); the resize watcher reacts to RandR events from xev instead
  of polling the geometry every 2 s. websockify has no readiness signal, so
  its 6901 bind is the one bounded connect wait (wait_listening).
- The driver's heal is `[ -x start-vnc.sh ] || exit 3; systemctl start
  cmux-desktop || exit 1; ss :6901` (no loop); the bake's desktop-unit step
  drops its 90-iteration poll and pins Type=notify/NotifyAccess; the verifier
  pins them too.
- The Ghostty .deb is verified against a checked-in SHA-256
  (ARG CMUX_IMAGE_GHOSTTY_DEB_SHA256) before dpkg runs, in both recipes.
- Docs: the cloud-vm skill says which machine kinds get a screen, the CLI
  contract escapes table pipes, promote documents the md slug exception; the
  TTL test uses a virtual clock; helper docstrings.

Dry run on a live machine from the 11761a snapshot: restart returns in 0.9 s
with noVNC bound, a stopped desktop heals in 0.6 s and returns only when up,
a base image exits 3, the second pass reuses the session bus, a RandR resize
re-fills the wallpaper through the event watcher, cua-driver doctor sees the
display and the accessibility bus.

Remove the stale provisioning workaround.

This line says the agents are preinstalled in the baked image, but Line 111 still tells users to wait for provisioning, read /tmp/cmux/provision.log, and look in /root/.npm-global/bin. web/services/vms/images/devbox/README.md says the bake installs the pinned agents and symlinks them into /usr/local/bin. Replace the old row with a real failure check for the baked image.

Let the guest exec exceed the systemd startup deadline.

The documented unit timeout is 120 seconds, but Line 1185 stops systemctl start after 90 seconds. A desktop that becomes ready between 90 and 120 seconds makes openPort fail even though systemd can still complete startup. Set this timeout above TimeoutStartSec with transport overhead.

Remove the socket polling loop from runtime startup.

wait_listening rescans the socket table after sleep 0.1 until a wall-clock deadline. This uses fixed-delay polling to synchronize websockify startup. Publish websockify readiness through an owner-controlled event or a tested cancellation-aware readiness abstraction instead.

Require AT-SPI readiness before sending READY.

Line 209 ignores a failed gdbus wait. dbus-send can then produce an empty a11y_bus, but the script still publishes the environment and sets published=1. Lines 227-229 can therefore send READY=1, and openPort(6901) can expose the desktop while cua-driver has no accessibility bus. Require a successful name wait and a nonempty bus address before publication and readiness. Add a regression test for this failure path.

Bind the ordering assertion to the Ghostty checksum command.

Line 136 finds the first generic sha256sum -c - occurrence. An unrelated earlier checksum can make this assertion pass if the Ghostty checksum command moves after apt-get install. Compare the index of the full Ghostty echo "$CMUX_IMAGE_GHOSTTY_DEB_SHA256 ..." command instead.

…s from newest main

#11776 baked the TigerVNC desktop into the devbox image and #11756/#11776
gave the Freestyle driver its first openPort — the URL is the machine's
private VPC address behind the WireGuard tunnel, never a public ingress.
So --desktop no longer fails closed, vm desktop works on desktop-kind
machines (private address on 6901, vpn required, base machines exit 1),
and the port verbs are no longer dormant. The reference, SKILL.md,
agent-workflows, and the bundled cloud-agent-skill now say so, and the
in-flight notes shrink to what freestyle-vm-primitives still adds: the
public TLS-edge previews on tokened subdomains and the vm-new
desktop-by-default flip (vm base open has been desktop-default since
#10948 — the CLI's two kind parsers differ today, which docs/cli-contract.md
already papers over by describing the flipped default).

…, drift check, router prune fix (#10793)

* worktree: drop stored defaults on identity lets so Xcode 26.6 builds main

After #10781, worktreeDeviceID/worktreeFileID were both defaulted at the
declaration and assigned in the explicit init, which the current toolchain
rejects ("immutable value may only be initialized once"). The init's
parameter defaults keep the same call-site contract.

* cli: cmux vm run/push/pull/wait and the cmux-cloud-vm agent skill

vm run routes a command to a cloud machine without naming one: sticky
per-directory binding, then an idle agent-pool machine, then a sleeper,
then a freshly provisioned pool machine. push/pull move files over the
exec channel (base64 chunks, SHA-256 verified, directories as tarballs);
wait blocks until ready and optionally wakes the machine. The skill lets
any coding agent drive machines from plain CLI.

* vm push: 64 KiB argv-bound chunks, no AppleDouble sidecars, line-safe progress

Live dogfood on Blaxel: a 512 KiB chunk base64-encodes past Linux's 128 KiB
per-argument limit ("argument list too long"), macOS tar shipped ._* files
onto the machine, and chunk progress ran together when stderr was captured.

* vm run: pool membership is the persisted id list, not the display label; review fixes

- The router now only drafts machines it provisioned itself (ids recorded in
  ~/.cmuxterm/vm-run-pool.json at create time, pruned when machines vanish); a
  user machine renamed agent-pool is never used. Test covers the impostor.
- Staging tarball is removed if reading it throws before the defer is armed.
- Push/pull chunk progress is localized (cli.vm.push.progress, cli.vm.pull.progress).
- vm --help, the usage contract, and the contract doc list open/ports/tools/
  handoff/promote-template, which the dispatcher already handled.
- Sticky-binding fixture uses a fixed instant, not the host clock.
- Skill recipes: --sync runs inside the synced dir (no remote $PWD), port
  readiness poll instead of sleep, eligibility filter instead of .vms[0],
  background test exit status captured to a status file.

* vm run: lock the pool store across processes; idempotent, run-scoped recipes

- updateVMRunPool does the read-modify-write under flock on a sibling lock
  file, so two routers provisioning at once both land in the store; covered by
  a two-process test against two mock sockets.
- Dev-server recipe reuses a live server or starts one with a workspace pidfile
  and log; test recipe uses per-run log/status paths written atomically.
- Document that --sync is additive.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* vm run: pool-store failures propagate; recipes validate the dev server and use unique run ids

- updateVMRunPool/saveVMRunPool throw on lock or write failure and createPoolVM
  reports the machine it provisioned but could not record, instead of a silent
  unlocked update.
- The dev-server recipe reuses a server only when the recorded pid is alive and
  owns :3000 (netstat -p), refuses to start a second server on a port someone
  else owns, and clears stale metadata.
- Test-run ids come from uuidgen, not the epoch second.
- Skill docs: cmux vm shell is a cmux-tui session now that machines run the
  cmux-tui remote daemon; agents keep working through vm run/exec.

* vm run: regression test — pruning a stale pool id must keep an id recorded after the vm.list snapshot

The mock socket records pool-2 while answering vm.list and returns a list that
predates it; the store must end up {pool-1, pool-2} with gone-1 pruned.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01PEWn6ZZoGTAi67X3RSJ5aB

* vm run: prune only ids the pre-list snapshot saw as gone; product-level pool-store error

- Load the pool store before vm.list and subtract only the ids that snapshot
  lacks in the live list, instead of intersecting the locked set with a stale
  live snapshot, so a machine another vm run recorded meanwhile is never
  dropped from the pool.
- The provisioned-but-unrecorded error no longer interpolates the raw
  pool-store error (lock path, OS text); it keeps the machine id and the
  recovery commands.
- The unknown-size errors for vm run/route/agent list 24g, which
  parseCloudVMSize already accepts.

* cli: cmux vm <verb> --help prints the verb's own usage, offline

--help/-h short-circuited to the cmux vm overview for every verb, so the
option lists for run, route, agent, push, pull, wait, open, tree, workspace,
terminal, tui, prompt, and base (--size, --timeout, placement flags, --json
shapes) were unreachable without a running app and a usage error. A new
CLI/CMUXCLI+VMHelp.swift maps those verbs to their usage strings; the prompt
and base usages move out of the handler so they can be shared.

Also: the overview lists workspace and terminal, points at per-verb help,
no longer claims vm prompt --open accepts pi (the app supports
claude|codex|opencode), and the shell/desktop lines read in order.

docs/cli-contract.md: the vm/cloud usage probe now matches the binary (it
lacked prompt, so the no-socket contract lane was red), plus one offline
probe per routed verb and cmux surface --help.

* cmux-cloud-vm skill: the complete cmux Cloud CLI set, with a CI drift check

references/commands.md is now the single reference for every cmux vm verb
(and cmux cloud alias): usage, aliases, flags, --json shape, exit codes, the
socket method it calls, and the sidebar action it mirrors, grouped machine /
files / execution / routing / workspaces & terminals / surfaces & display /
checkpoints & forks / networking & ports / account & plan, plus the app's
vm.* socket table. Verbs that exist only in open PRs sit in one labeled
"In flight" section (#11324 cmux fork, #11347), so the skill never names
something an agent cannot run today; #11345 (vm terminal send|read|wait, the
single sidebar Close Workspace…) merged during this work and is folded in.

SKILL.md leads with vm run, then the glossary, cloud-vs-local, a need→verb
table, headless terminal loops, agent policy, and troubleshooting.
agent-workflows.md gains the headless-terminal recipe; openai.yaml describes
the same scope for Codex; Resources/cloud-agent-skill.md (the copy vm prompt
installs) no longer disagrees with the CLI (24g, vm base open, plain-terminal
shell, ~30 s exec, vm wait/handoff/prompt/ssh-info/promote-template,
fork/restore flags, per-verb --help).

tests/test_cloud_vm_skill_coverage.py (workflow-guard-tests lane) parses the
vm dispatcher, the workspace/terminal/surface sub-verbs, the usage line, the
docs/cli-contract.md probe, and the advertised vm.* methods, and fails when
the skill and the CLI disagree in either direction or when an in-flight verb
has already shipped.

Localization audit: CLI help/usage text follows the English-only CLI help
convention; no Settings, menu, or web strings touched.

* vm run: re-read the pool after pruning so a concurrently recorded machine is eligible; full -h probe needles

A machine another vm run recorded between this run's pool load and vm.list
(and that the list carries) was not in the pre-list snapshot, so it was
ineligible for this run and could push it toward a needless provision or a
false would_provision from vm route. The eligible set is now the post-prune
store intersected with the live list.

docs/cli-contract.md: the -h / cloud run / upload probes name the full usage
line, same as their --help siblings.

* cmuxTests: align CFFIXED_USER_HOME with a test's HOME whenever the child inherits a CF home redirect

On the hosted e2e lane the console session forwards CFFIXED_USER_HOME without
CMUX_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED, so every CLI the process harness spawned
resolved NSHomeDirectory() to the runner's home and ignored the test's HOME:
the vm run pool/binding stores, SSH ~ expansion, and hook installs all landed
outside the per-test home (126 failures across the class, including main's
own testVMRunReusesIdlePoolMachine). The harness now aligns
CFFIXED_USER_HOME with HOME when either the isolation flag is set or a
CFFIXED_USER_HOME redirect is already present.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01PEWn6ZZoGTAi67X3RSJ5aB

* vm run: resolve the router's state home from $HOME; harness pins CFFIXED_USER_HOME to a test's HOME

NSHomeDirectory() resolves through Core Foundation (CFFIXED_USER_HOME, then
the passwd entry) and ignores a HOME override — the comment claiming it honors
$HOME was wrong. So the pool and binding stores, documented as HOME-relative,
went to the real ~/.cmuxterm in every redirected run, and the router tests
(main's own included) only passed under CI's app-host isolation, where the
harness aligned CFFIXED_USER_HOME. Reproduced on a fleet Mac's GUI session
(274 tests, 120 failures) with the same signature as the hosted lane.

- CLI: vmRunStateHomeDirectory() prefers a non-empty $HOME, else
  NSHomeDirectory(); both store URLs use it.
- cmuxTests: isolatedCLIChildEnvironment pins CFFIXED_USER_HOME to the
  supplied HOME unconditionally (XDG_CONFIG_HOME still only under the
  app-host isolation flag), so every spawned CLI agrees with the test.

Three gaps broke workflow-guard-tests on every merge ref since #11524:

* cloud: Sendable ISO8601 parsing in VMClient; nonisolated presence URL resolver

Newest main marked two ISO8601DateFormatter statics nonisolated (a warning:
the type is not Sendable) and left PresenceHeartbeatClient.resolvedServiceURL
main-actor-isolated while PresenceHeartbeatClientTests calls it from
nonisolated Swift Testing contexts, which stops cmuxTests compiling on every
app-host shard. The formatters become Date.ISO8601FormatStyle constants
(Sendable, same accepted formats) parsed via Date(_:strategy:), and the
resolver — a pure function of its environment/defaults arguments over
nonisolated PresenceSettings/AuthEnvironment statics — becomes nonisolated.

* skill: document cmux vpn hosts, extend the drift check to the vpn dispatcher, refresh the in-flight facts from freestyle-vm-primitives

cmux vpn hosts landed with #11626 but the skill's vpn section stopped at
revoke; the coverage check only parsed the vm dispatcher, so nothing
caught it. The check now parses runVPNCommand the same way and fails on
a vpn verb the reference misses or invents (it flagged the in-flight
section's own wording during this change).

The in-flight section also claimed a hosts verb family was arriving with
the guest-CLI work — wrong on both ends: vpn hosts already ships here,
and freestyle-vm-primitives has no vm hosts verb. Replaced with what
that branch actually adds today: the guest cmux shim + in-VM notify
bridge, vm help, the screen->display catalog kind rename, and the
vm tree --refresh fleet re-read.

* skill: re-ground on the desktop image and live private-path port opens from newest main

#11776 baked the TigerVNC desktop into the devbox image and #11756/#11776
gave the Freestyle driver its first openPort — the URL is the machine's
private VPC address behind the WireGuard tunnel, never a public ingress.
So --desktop no longer fails closed, vm desktop works on desktop-kind
machines (private address on 6901, vpn required, base machines exit 1),
and the port verbs are no longer dormant. The reference, SKILL.md,
agent-workflows, and the bundled cloud-agent-skill now say so, and the
in-flight notes shrink to what freestyle-vm-primitives still adds: the
public TLS-edge previews on tokened subdomains and the vm-new
desktop-by-default flip (vm base open has been desktop-default since
#10948 — the CLI's two kind parsers differ today, which docs/cli-contract.md
already papers over by describing the flipped default).

* skill: teach the delegation mission — persistence past the closed laptop, staged machine workspaces

The point of the CLI is a local agent delegating work to the cloud, so
the skill now says so up front (sessions live in the machine's daemon
and survive the Mac disconnecting; reattach from any signed-in Mac) and
gains the staged-workspace recipe: compose a named machine workspace's
terminals headlessly with surface new-terminal --remote-workspace,
verify with vm tree --json, and hand the user one click that opens the
whole thing. Honest about today's two edges: vm workspace new always
opens a local workspace as a side effect, and vm agent cannot target a
workspace (use surface new-terminal with a login shell instead).

* cli+skill: the 20g plan machine is the only size preset — say so everywhere

Main's plan-machine change (#11756/#11783) reduced cloudVMSizeAliases to
20g/20gb (or raw MB), but the error strings and usage lines still
advertised the retired 2g-32g ladder — ours worse, still carrying the
24g we added when that preset existed. vm run/route/agent unknown-size
errors, the vm new usage and unknown-flag text, docs/cli-contract.md's
vm new row (matching the freestyle-vm-primitives wording to keep that
merge clean), and every skill mention now name 20g (the 5 vCPU / 20 GB
/ 200 GB plan machine) or raw MB — matching parseCloudVMSize instead of
misleading an agent into a rejected --size 8g.

Also taken in this merge: main's #11754 landed the Linux iOS-guard fix
this branch had been carrying, so those files resolve to main's
(77/77 local pass).

* fix: silence the guard-condition trailing-closure warning Xcode 26.3 added

The critical-pressure teardown hardening (via main) left two compactMap
trailing closures inside postAggregateMemoryPressureWarning's guard
condition; Xcode 26.3's compiler warns 'trailing closure in this context
is confusable with the body of the statement' on both (76:41, 77:41),
which fails the warning-budget lane with actual=2 budget=0 — on main's
own runs too (run 33716921978 shows the same +2). Parenthesized closure
arguments are the fix the diagnostic prescribes; no behavior change.

* fix: adapt the Base create launch to the 3-argument coordinator Launch

Two green PRs crossed on main: #10773 added a 2-argument
MachineCreateCoordinator.start call in the Base sheet flow while #11773
changed Launch to (arguments, progress, completion) for the pending
row's live output — main has not built the combination yet, and the
first tree containing both fails with 'contextual closure type expects
3 arguments'. The Base flow now takes the progress handler and threads
it through launchCloudVMBaseOpen into CloudVMActionLauncher's existing
onOutput, so Base creates stream output to the pending row exactly like
the New Machine sheet's flow in NewMachineSheetPresenter.

Two fixes for main's own test file (byte-identical there, so main's

optional-chained isSuperseded (== true resolves it), and the new
MachinesPanelPendingCreateTests suite called Self.newMachineRequest for
a helper that lives on MachineCreateCoordinatorTests — qualifying the
type fixes the lookup and gives the trailing 'name: nil' its context.

* cli: cmux vm run/push/pull/wait and the cmux-cloud-vm agent skill

vm run routes a command to a cloud machine without naming one: sticky
per-directory binding, then an idle agent-pool machine, then a sleeper,
then a freshly provisioned pool machine. push/pull move files over the
exec channel (base64 chunks, SHA-256 verified, directories as tarballs);
wait blocks until ready and optionally wakes the machine. The skill lets
any coding agent drive machines from plain CLI.

* vm push: 64 KiB argv-bound chunks, no AppleDouble sidecars, line-safe progress

Live dogfood on Blaxel: a 512 KiB chunk base64-encodes past Linux's 128 KiB
per-argument limit ("argument list too long"), macOS tar shipped ._* files
onto the machine, and chunk progress ran together when stderr was captured.

* vm run: pool membership is the persisted id list, not the display label; review fixes

- The router now only drafts machines it provisioned itself (ids recorded in
  ~/.cmuxterm/vm-run-pool.json at create time, pruned when machines vanish); a
  user machine renamed agent-pool is never used. Test covers the impostor.
- Staging tarball is removed if reading it throws before the defer is armed.
- Push/pull chunk progress is localized (cli.vm.push.progress, cli.vm.pull.progress).
- vm --help, the usage contract, and the contract doc list open/ports/tools/
  handoff/promote-template, which the dispatcher already handled.
- Sticky-binding fixture uses a fixed instant, not the host clock.
- Skill recipes: --sync runs inside the synced dir (no remote $PWD), port
  readiness poll instead of sleep, eligibility filter instead of .vms[0],
  background test exit status captured to a status file.

* vm run: lock the pool store across processes; idempotent, run-scoped recipes

- updateVMRunPool does the read-modify-write under flock on a sibling lock
  file, so two routers provisioning at once both land in the store; covered by
  a two-process test against two mock sockets.
- Dev-server recipe reuses a live server or starts one with a workspace pidfile
  and log; test recipe uses per-run log/status paths written atomically.
- Document that --sync is additive.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* vm run: pool-store failures propagate; recipes validate the dev server and use unique run ids

- updateVMRunPool/saveVMRunPool throw on lock or write failure and createPoolVM
  reports the machine it provisioned but could not record, instead of a silent
  unlocked update.
- The dev-server recipe reuses a server only when the recorded pid is alive and
  owns :3000 (netstat -p), refuses to start a second server on a port someone
  else owns, and clears stale metadata.
- Test-run ids come from uuidgen, not the epoch second.
- Skill docs: cmux vm shell is a cmux-tui session now that machines run the
  cmux-tui remote daemon; agents keep working through vm run/exec.

* vm run: regression test — pruning a stale pool id must keep an id recorded after the vm.list snapshot

The mock socket records pool-2 while answering vm.list and returns a list that

* vm run: prune only ids the pre-list snapshot saw as gone; product-level pool-store error

- Load the pool store before vm.list and subtract only the ids that snapshot
  lacks in the live list, instead of intersecting the locked set with a stale
  live snapshot, so a machine another vm run recorded meanwhile is never
  dropped from the pool.
- The provisioned-but-unrecorded error no longer interpolates the raw
  pool-store error (lock path, OS text); it keeps the machine id and the
  recovery commands.
- The unknown-size errors for vm run/route/agent list 24g, which
  parseCloudVMSize already accepts.

* cli: cmux vm <verb> --help prints the verb's own usage, offline

--help/-h short-circuited to the cmux vm overview for every verb, so the
option lists for run, route, agent, push, pull, wait, open, tree, workspace,
terminal, tui, prompt, and base (--size, --timeout, placement flags, --json
shapes) were unreachable without a running app and a usage error. A new
CLI/CMUXCLI+VMHelp.swift maps those verbs to their usage strings; the prompt
and base usages move out of the handler so they can be shared.

Also: the overview lists workspace and terminal, points at per-verb help,
no longer claims vm prompt --open accepts pi (the app supports
claude|codex|opencode), and the shell/desktop lines read in order.

docs/cli-contract.md: the vm/cloud usage probe now matches the binary (it
lacked prompt, so the no-socket contract lane was red), plus one offline
probe per routed verb and cmux surface --help.

* cmux-cloud-vm skill: the complete cmux Cloud CLI set, with a CI drift check

references/commands.md is now the single reference for every cmux vm verb
(and cmux cloud alias): usage, aliases, flags, --json shape, exit codes, the
socket method it calls, and the sidebar action it mirrors, grouped machine /
files / execution / routing / workspaces & terminals / surfaces & display /
checkpoints & forks / networking & ports / account & plan, plus the app's
vm.* socket table. Verbs that exist only in open PRs sit in one labeled
"In flight" section (manaflow-ai#11324 cmux fork, manaflow-ai#11347), so the skill never names
something an agent cannot run today; manaflow-ai#11345 (vm terminal send|read|wait, the
single sidebar Close Workspace…) merged during this work and is folded in.

SKILL.md leads with vm run, then the glossary, cloud-vs-local, a need→verb
table, headless terminal loops, agent policy, and troubleshooting.
agent-workflows.md gains the headless-terminal recipe; openai.yaml describes
the same scope for Codex; Resources/cloud-agent-skill.md (the copy vm prompt
installs) no longer disagrees with the CLI (24g, vm base open, plain-terminal
shell, ~30 s exec, vm wait/handoff/prompt/ssh-info/promote-template,
fork/restore flags, per-verb --help).

tests/test_cloud_vm_skill_coverage.py (workflow-guard-tests lane) parses the
vm dispatcher, the workspace/terminal/surface sub-verbs, the usage line, the
docs/cli-contract.md probe, and the advertised vm.* methods, and fails when
the skill and the CLI disagree in either direction or when an in-flight verb
has already shipped.

Localization audit: CLI help/usage text follows the English-only CLI help
convention; no Settings, menu, or web strings touched.

* vm run: re-read the pool after pruning so a concurrently recorded machine is eligible; full -h probe needles

A machine another vm run recorded between this run's pool load and vm.list
(and that the list carries) was not in the pre-list snapshot, so it was
ineligible for this run and could push it toward a needless provision or a
false would_provision from vm route. The eligible set is now the post-prune
store intersected with the live list.

docs/cli-contract.md: the -h / cloud run / upload probes name the full usage
line, same as their --help siblings.

On the hosted e2e lane the console session forwards CFFIXED_USER_HOME without
CMUX_APP_HOST_ISOLATION_REQUIRED, so every CLI the process harness spawned
resolved NSHomeDirectory() to the runner's home and ignored the test's HOME:
the vm run pool/binding stores, SSH ~ expansion, and hook installs all landed
outside the per-test home (126 failures across the class, including main's
own testVMRunReusesIdlePoolMachine). The harness now aligns
CFFIXED_USER_HOME with HOME when either the isolation flag is set or a
CFFIXED_USER_HOME redirect is already present.

* vm run: resolve the router's state home from $HOME; harness pins CFFIXED_USER_HOME to a test's HOME

NSHomeDirectory() resolves through Core Foundation (CFFIXED_USER_HOME, then
the passwd entry) and ignores a HOME override — the comment claiming it honors
$HOME was wrong. So the pool and binding stores, documented as HOME-relative,
went to the real ~/.cmuxterm in every redirected run, and the router tests
(main's own included) only passed under CI's app-host isolation, where the
harness aligned CFFIXED_USER_HOME. Reproduced on a fleet Mac's GUI session
(274 tests, 120 failures) with the same signature as the hosted lane.

- CLI: vmRunStateHomeDirectory() prefers a non-empty $HOME, else
  NSHomeDirectory(); both store URLs use it.
- cmuxTests: isolatedCLIChildEnvironment pins CFFIXED_USER_HOME to the
  supplied HOME unconditionally (XDG_CONFIG_HOME still only under the
  app-host isolation flag), so every spawned CLI agrees with the test.

nonisolated PresenceSettings/AuthEnvironment statics — becomes nonisolated.

* skill: document cmux vpn hosts, extend the drift check to the vpn dispatcher, refresh the in-flight facts from freestyle-vm-primitives

cmux vpn hosts landed with manaflow-ai#11626 but the skill's vpn section stopped at
revoke; the coverage check only parsed the vm dispatcher, so nothing
caught it. The check now parses runVPNCommand the same way and fails on
a vpn verb the reference misses or invents (it flagged the in-flight
section's own wording during this change).

The in-flight section also claimed a hosts verb family was arriving with
the guest-CLI work — wrong on both ends: vpn hosts already ships here,
and freestyle-vm-primitives has no vm hosts verb. Replaced with what
that branch actually adds today: the guest cmux shim + in-VM notify
bridge, vm help, the screen->display catalog kind rename, and the
vm tree --refresh fleet re-read.

* skill: re-ground on the desktop image and live private-path port opens from newest main

manaflow-ai#11776 baked the TigerVNC desktop into the devbox image and manaflow-ai#11756/manaflow-ai#11776
gave the Freestyle driver its first openPort — the URL is the machine's
private VPC address behind the WireGuard tunnel, never a public ingress.
So --desktop no longer fails closed, vm desktop works on desktop-kind
machines (private address on 6901, vpn required, base machines exit 1),
and the port verbs are no longer dormant. The reference, SKILL.md,
agent-workflows, and the bundled cloud-agent-skill now say so, and the
in-flight notes shrink to what freestyle-vm-primitives still adds: the
public TLS-edge previews on tokened subdomains and the vm-new
desktop-by-default flip (vm base open has been desktop-default since
manaflow-ai#10948 — the CLI's two kind parsers differ today, which docs/cli-contract.md
already papers over by describing the flipped default).

* skill: teach the delegation mission — persistence past the closed laptop, staged machine workspaces

The point of the CLI is a local agent delegating work to the cloud, so
the skill now says so up front (sessions live in the machine's daemon
and survive the Mac disconnecting; reattach from any signed-in Mac) and
gains the staged-workspace recipe: compose a named machine workspace's
terminals headlessly with surface new-terminal --remote-workspace,
verify with vm tree --json, and hand the user one click that opens the
whole thing. Honest about today's two edges: vm workspace new always
opens a local workspace as a side effect, and vm agent cannot target a
workspace (use surface new-terminal with a login shell instead).

* cli+skill: the 20g plan machine is the only size preset — say so everywhere

Main's plan-machine change (manaflow-ai#11756/manaflow-ai#11783) reduced cloudVMSizeAliases to
20g/20gb (or raw MB), but the error strings and usage lines still
advertised the retired 2g-32g ladder — ours worse, still carrying the
24g we added when that preset existed. vm run/route/agent unknown-size
errors, the vm new usage and unknown-flag text, docs/cli-contract.md's
vm new row (matching the freestyle-vm-primitives wording to keep that
merge clean), and every skill mention now name 20g (the 5 vCPU / 20 GB
/ 200 GB plan machine) or raw MB — matching parseCloudVMSize instead of
misleading an agent into a rejected --size 8g.

Also taken in this merge: main's manaflow-ai#11754 landed the Linux iOS-guard fix
this branch had been carrying, so those files resolve to main's
(77/77 local pass).

* skill: note headless staging flags coming in freestyle-vm-primitives

cmux176 implemented the two staging gaps flagged earlier — vm workspace
new --no-open and vm agent --remote-workspace — so the in-flight section
now names them and points §6b's workarounds at their replacement.

* fix: silence the guard-condition trailing-closure warning Xcode 26.3 added

The critical-pressure teardown hardening (via main) left two compactMap
trailing closures inside postAggregateMemoryPressureWarning's guard
condition; Xcode 26.3's compiler warns 'trailing closure in this context
is confusable with the body of the statement' on both (76:41, 77:41),
which fails the warning-budget lane with actual=2 budget=0 — on main's
own runs too (run 33716921978 shows the same +2). Parenthesized closure
arguments are the fix the diagnostic prescribes; no behavior change.

* fix: adapt the Base create launch to the 3-argument coordinator Launch

Two green PRs crossed on main: manaflow-ai#10773 added a 2-argument
MachineCreateCoordinator.start call in the Base sheet flow while manaflow-ai#11773
changed Launch to (arguments, progress, completion) for the pending
row's live output — main has not built the combination yet, and the
first tree containing both fails with 'contextual closure type expects
3 arguments'. The Base flow now takes the progress handler and threads
it through launchCloudVMBaseOpen into CloudVMActionLauncher's existing
onOutput, so Base creates stream output to the pending row exactly like
the New Machine sheet's flow in NewMachineSheetPresenter.

* test: make MachineCreateCoordinatorTests compile again after manaflow-ai#11773

Two fixes for main's own test file (byte-identical there, so main's
cmuxTests target does not compile either): #expect took the Bool? from
optional-chained isSuperseded (== true resolves it), and the new
MachinesPanelPendingCreateTests suite called Self.newMachineRequest for
a helper that lives on MachineCreateCoordinatorTests — qualifying the
type fixes the lookup and gives the trailing 'name: nil' its context.

* Revert the test-only half of manaflow-ai#11929 so the unit test bundle compiles

manaflow-ai#11929 merged 265 lines of
SurfaceCatalogTests that call beginCloudWorkspaceRename,
commitCloudWorkspaceRename, rollbackCloudWorkspaceRename,
replaceCloudResources and pendingCloudWorkspaceRenameName. None of those
exist in the app: the PR landed only its test file. Since that merge
(2026-09-06) every cmuxTests build on main fails, so no hosted unit test
run can pass. Austin authored this revert on another branch
(68e2dbc) but it never reached main. Re-land the feature with tests
and implementation together.
