Problem

On iOS, each echoed terminal character could trigger a full render-grid replay. The phone reset from its 66x53 natural grid against a 66x52 host frame, then paid the verified replay and libghostty surface-size costs again.

Fix

  • Keep PTY-driven primary screen deltas on the ordered direct paint path.
  • Preserve the established render-grid baseline while applying those deltas, instead of reflowing to the advisory natural viewport per key.
  • Fence direct deltas with the serial surface generation and cached grid state, while retaining exact dimension checks for full and alternate-screen frames.
  • Avoid SwiftUI observation invalidation for per-key transport bookkeeping.
  • Stop forcing a full host refresh after input; the byte tee already schedules the render-grid capture.
  • Rebase host render-grid theme/config caches from the decorated replay frame so live deltas remain deltas.

Validation

  • Fleet iOS Debug archive and simulator install succeeded for tag p0typ at 1ee5a6942cd.
  • Isolated simulator cmux-dev-p0typ (UDID E077200F-762A-431A-A26B-A6F9C259D7D4) ran a 40-key real agent probe.
  • Before the final delivery fix, each key produced render_grid.apply_fence, terminal.output.reset, and CMUX_REPLAY, with verified applies around 55 to 70 ms.
  • After the fix, all 40 keys used path=legacy, completed in about 0.2 to 0.5 ms, and produced no per-key reset or replay events.
  • Personal iPhone Aziz is installed and paired over the relay using tag p0typ; readiness receipt reports iroh_server_events_v1 and same-account RPC success.
  • Mac cloud rebuild compiled successfully; final artifact transfer is still completing locally.

Summary by cubic

Fixes iOS terminal typing latency by routing render-grid keystrokes over a dedicated input-only lane while echoed output stays on the ordered render-grid path. Keys previously triggered a full render-grid replay at 55–70ms each; they now apply in 0.2–0.5ms.

Rendering and replay behavior

  • The host no longer forces a full refresh after input; primary-screen deltas keep the established render-grid baseline instead of reflowing to the natural viewport per key, and hybrid sessions treat partial render-grid primary frames as advisory.
  • Delta applies use the serial queue's generation fence instead of a libghostty surface-size query; per-key transport state stays out of SwiftUI observation, and replay baselines adopt decorated theme/config state so live deltas don't promote to full frames.
  • Cold attach defers the initial replay to the viewport acknowledgement, keyed per Mac app instance; superseding viewport calls inherit that deferral, and detach during preparation drops the deferred marker so no stale replay fires after a clear.

Lane and artifact hardening

  • A lane paused by replay-barrier backpressure suspends without draining the next chunk and reopens only after the barrier's ACK; host quotas count active terminal lanes so reopen cycles can't exhaust the input lane.
  • Unchanged artifact chip counts no longer reopen their session-count RPC per render-grid frame; dedupe is bounded by a generation window, queued follow-ups track the freshest frame, and failed scans retry at the same visible count.
  • Test-depot CI no longer treats grep's early exit as an empty test run on large logs.

Written for commit 84c9ec6. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a dedicated terminal input channel for faster, fire-and-forget keystroke delivery.
    • Render-grid sessions now support input-only connections while keeping output authoritative through the render grid.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved terminal rendering during screen-anchored updates, reducing unnecessary refreshes and preserving the correct display baseline.
    • Improved viewport preparation and surface attachment sequencing to prevent redundant replays and stale terminal output.
    • Terminal input no longer triggers unnecessary full-screen refreshes before echoed output arrives.
    • Suspended terminal lanes now resume after replay acknowledgement, improving recovery from backpressure.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches mobile terminal transport, render-grid replay/viewport sequencing, and host input paths—high user-visible surface area, but changes are heavily tested and mostly additive (new lane) with behavioral guards around barriers and quotas.

Overview
Adds a dedicated terminalInput application lane (Iroh lane code 6 / IRX terminal_input) so render-grid sessions can send keystrokes on a fire-and-forget QUIC stream while authoritative output stays on the ordered render-grid path. The mobile runtime exposes terminalInputLaneProvider; the shell opens input-only terminal lanes when terminalOutputTransport == .renderGrid, and the Mac serves them with an empty replay baseline plus length-prefixed input frames.

Tightens lane and replay lifecycle so typing is not blocked by RPC settlement or replay fences: the lane coordinator supports .output vs .inputOnly (no output-cursor validation on input lanes), suspends on consumer backpressure without draining the next chunk, and resumes lanes only after replay-barrier ACK. IRX host terminal lane limits count active lanes (quota release on close) instead of cumulative opens.

Reduces per-keystroke full replays and grid churn: hosts stop calling forceRefresh after mobile input (byte tee already drives render ticks); replay baselines adopt decorated theme/config state; hybrid mode treats partial primary render-grid frames as advisory; screen-anchored primary deltas skip advisory natural viewport reflow and use a lighter apply fence. Viewport preparation generations defer cold attach replay until the viewport acknowledgement (with supersede/clear handling).

Smaller follow-ups: CI unit-suite grep uses a here-string to avoid pipefail/SIGPIPE false “no tests” failures; artifact chip session-count RPCs dedupe unchanged visible counts within a generation window; GhosttySurfaceView fits effective replay grids whenever they fit inside the measured surface.

Decorated replay frames update baseline caches. Primary-screen deltas bypass verified replay and dimension checks. Viewport preparation generations prevent duplicate cold replays. Replay-barrier tests validate lane resumption.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to acb19

The new terminal path can fail after reconnects, transport changes, lane churn, or alternate-screen transitions, causing lost fast-path behavior, stale sizing, or missing initial output. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The diff adds an unstructured production Task { ... } in Sources/Mobile/MobileHostIrxRuntime.swift for .terminalInput. The task is not stored, cancelled, or awaited. It runs serveInputOnly, which keeps the input stream alive through receiveInput and its while !Task.isCancelled receive loop. Connection shutdown only cancels the separate laneLoop task, so this new lane task is not tied to that lifecycle. This matches the modernization rule for fire-and-forget tasks with a meaningful lifecycle. No new Combine, background Dispatch queue, or completion-handler API was found.

Resolution

Replace the new unstructured task with lifecycle-managed structured concurrency. Add the input-lane handler to a task group owned by runLaneLoop, or store its task handle in a connection/lane registry. Cancel and await the handler when the connection or lane loop ends, and ensure the stream receive loop observes that cancellation.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

The PR adds private nonisolated static func handleTerminalInputLane(...) async in Sources/Mobile/MobileHostIrohApplicationLaneRouter.swift (around line 713). The actor's start method launches this handler from an inherited Task. The handler performs network stream send/receive work and frame processing, but it has no @concurrent boundary. Its UI access already uses MainActor.run, so the handler can safely run concurrently. Repository examples annotate equivalent nonisolated network helpers with @concurrent.

Resolution

Add @concurrent to handleTerminalInputLane (with the repository's compiler-version conditional pattern if required). Keep UI state access inside MainActor.run. Review the newly reachable receiveTerminalInput and sendTerminalInput helpers to ensure the input-only path remains behind this concurrent boundary or annotate them when the compiler requires it.

Reopen the lane when Configuration.mode changes. reconcileTerminalLanesForOutputTransport() calls ensureTerminalLane without deactivating the existing entry. The ready-entry path replaces only its configuration, so an existing .output provider remains active after the mode changes to .inputOnly; the input-only provider is never opened. Compare the modes before reusing the entry, close it when they differ, and reopen it with the new configuration before reporting readiness.

Release terminalLaneCount when the input lane ends.

The new branch increments terminalLaneCount at Line 852 and starts an untracked task. serveInputOnly returns when the input stream ends, but no code decrements the count. After four sequential input lanes close, the next valid input lane is reset with error code 3.

Store the lane task and decrement the reservation in a completion path. Cancel and await stored lane tasks during connection shutdown.

As per path instructions, do not create fire-and-forget Task { ... } work with meaningful lifecycle unless it is stored, cancellable, or tied to a caller-owned operation.

- Around line 181-184: Replace the fixed-sleep polling loop in the test with an
asynchronous close-completion signal exposed by TerminalLaneTestConnection, and
await that signal before performing the assertions. Preserve the existing
close-count validation while removing the scheduler-dependent retry and sleep
logic.

In
`@Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShell/Tests/CmuxMobileShellTests/TerminalLaneReplayBarrierTests.swift`:
- Around line 29-32: Update the synchronization in
TerminalLaneReplayBarrierTests around the close/reopen assertions to use
actor-owned completion signals for close and reopen events instead of fixed
Task.yield() spin counts. Await those signals when completion is expected, and
use a deadline-bounded poll of an observable predicate when asserting an event
remains absent; ensure every polling loop has an explicit predicate and
preserves the test’s premature-resume checks.

In
`@Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/GhosttySurfaceRepresentable.swift`:
- Around line 549-562: Update the hybrid primary-frame branch around
sourceRenderGridFrame and terminalOutputDidProcess so the primary transition
viewport-policy update is delivered before acknowledging the frame. Preserve the
render-grid primary frame as advisory and retain the early acknowledgement
afterward, but ensure the transition from alternate/remoteGrid to the natural
primary policy occurs first.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the sleep poll with a close completion signal.

This test depends on up to 100 ms of real scheduler time. Slow CI can fail the assertion although the lane closes correctly. Add an async close signal to TerminalLaneTestConnection and await it before the assertions.

As per coding guidelines, “Tests must await real completion signals” and “Do not use fixed sleeps.”

failedScanDropsHeldZero modeled the failed refresh as a completion with
no totals but left scanSucceeded at its default of true. Since #12007
added per-count scan dedupe, only a completion with scanSucceeded false
releases the visible count, so the follow-up trigger at the same count
became a provisional report instead of a report plus retry. Production
passes scanSucceeded: response != nil, so pass false here as the other
failed-scan tests do.

…wo chip tests (#14554)

* ios: pick the child-count translation from the formatter's locale

TerminalArtifactChildCountFormatter passed its locale only as the
formatting locale, so String(localized:) and AttributedString(localized:)
still read the string table of the process language. An injected
Japanese locale rendered "1 item" in an English host. Resolve the
matching .lproj of the package bundle first, as DiagnosticLocalization
in CMUXMobileCore already does.

* ios: mark the held-zero chip test's failed scan as failed

failedScanDropsHeldZero modeled the failed refresh as a completion with

added per-count scan dedupe, only a completion with scanSucceeded false
releases the visible count, so the follow-up trigger at the same count
became a provisional report instead of a report plus retry. Production

failed-scan tests do.

* ios: stop the fast folder-tap classification test racing real time

TerminalFolderTapPolicy runs the stat on the main actor and races it
against a 50 ms ContinuousClock deadline. In the hosted iOS suite, other
tests keep the main actor busy long enough for the deadline to win, so
the fast classification test saw .focusTerminal. Inject a clock whose
sleep only ends on cancellation, so the classification is the only
possible answer and the test no longer depends on scheduling.
