Summary

New Machine rejected the third default VM: the account had 4 vCPUs, requested 2 more, and hit a separate 5-vCPU shared pool despite a 50-machine allowance (production trace 00579691b06de3289d70e53e4204f178). The configured CPU-pool disable flag was not read by the backend.

Remove aggregate CPU, memory, and disk quotas from create, fork, restore, Base open/reset, and resize. Paid plans retain 50 machines per seat, with Team seats multiplying that allowance; retired environment overrides cannot silently lower it. Keep transactional count enforcement, idempotency, per-machine size validation, and fork/resize recovery. Update native and web pricing to describe independent machine resources and remove obsolete error copy from all locales.

Testing

  • Test-only commit reproduces the exact 4 + 2 > 5 rejection against real Postgres on a leased fleet Mac; the fix commit admits 50 machines and rejects the 51st.
  • Concurrent requests for the final slot admit exactly one; an idempotent retry succeeds at capacity.
  • Base open/reset, create during resize, resize during fork, and existing recovery/race coverage pass.
  • 787 VM/pricing/environment tests verified, including Postgres behavior tests. One missing CLI fixture in the remote test checkout was supplied and its suite rerun successfully.
  • Typecheck and complexity gate pass. Focused ESLint has no errors (one pre-existing unused-helper warning).
  • Localization audit: all 20 web catalogs parse; English/Japanese pricing and four native catalog keys match; retired shared-pool errors removed everywhere.
  • Preview: https://cmux41-eh0fe8i41-manaflow.vercel.app/pricing
  • Staging deployment of 4fbded7edb: created three 8-GB machines in one paid test account, listed all three with maxActiveVms: 50, retried the third idempotently, and deleted all test machines/account afterward. Unauthenticated list still returns 401. Staging environment audit passes.
  • Live staging: https://cmux-staging-nvqwnc6xi-manaflow.vercel.app/pricing
  • Tagged Mac build of pushed HEAD 4fbded7edb passed on the fleet: vm-independent-limits. The tag compiles the native pricing-copy changes; backend behavior was verified on staging.

Dogfood

The behavior change is server-side. The preview shows the new pricing, and the backend has been dogfooded on staging. Production still enforces the old quota until deployment. After deployment, an account with two default machines should create a third and continue up to 50 per paid seat without aggregate CPU/memory/disk errors. No customer VMs were deleted or changed.

Production deployment and merge await the maintainer's dogfood approval. No database migration is needed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cloud VMs now provide independent CPU, memory, and disk resources per machine.
    • VM sizing supports 4–64 GB RAM and disks up to 256 GB, with no overage billing.
    • Paid plans now consistently use their advertised machine allowances.
  • Updates

    • Pricing pages, FAQs, and localized content now describe per-VM resources.
    • Shared-resource pool exhaustion messaging and related handling have been removed.
    • Retired deployment overrides no longer reduce paid-plan VM allowances.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for independent VM limits, concurrent operations, resizing, and base workflows.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cloud VM accounting changes from shared plan-wide resource pools to independent per-machine resources. Creation, forks, resizing, recovery, and base operations now enforce machine-count allowances. Shared-resource errors, translations, and related documentation are removed or updated.

Changes

Cloud VM resource policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-machine policy and contracts
web/services/vms/machineSpec.ts, web/services/vms/entitlements.ts, web/scripts/cloud-vm/projects.mjs, web/services/vms/README.md
Shared resource constants and helpers are removed. Paid plans use fixed machine-count allowances, and retired environment overrides are ignored.
Reservation storage and VM workflows
web/services/vms/repository.ts, web/services/vms/workflows.ts
Create, base operations, forks, resizing, recovery, and snapshots persist individual machine shapes without shared-pool validation or headroom claims.
Shared-resource error removal
web/services/vms/routeHelpers.ts, web/messages/*.json, web/tests/vm-route-input.test.ts, web/tests/vm-limit-refresh.test.ts
Shared-resource response handling and localized error entries are removed.
Product copy and validation
CLI/cmux.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, Sources/..., web/messages/*.json, web/tests/*
Pricing copy, documentation, localization, and tests describe independent VM resources and machine-count limits. New tests cover concurrent admission, base operations, and retired overrides.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cff3b

Cloud VM limits now use independent machine allowances per paid seat, including Team scaling. The core Base-conflict and Team-resume paths are covered, but Japanese Team pricing copy and a few test-isolation and regression-coverage details should be corrected before relying on this change as fully polished.

1822-1822: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve VmCreateInProgressError from beginBaseReset.

When another Base operation is active, beginBaseReset throws VmCreateInProgressError. Its repository classifier does not pass through this error and converts it to VmDatabaseError, despite the workflow contract including VmCreateInProgressError. Import isVmCreateInProgressError and add it to the beginBaseReset pass-through condition.

2052-2052: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the entitlement allowance when resizing a paused Team VM.

resizeVm receives the current maxActiveVms, but preflightResumeIfSuspended calls reservePausedResumeIfTeam without it. The helper then uses the flat plan limit, so a Team VM can fail the active-VM check above 50 even when its seat-based allowance is higher. Pass the supplied allowance through both helpers for the resize path.

- Line 420: Add the changed localization keys pricing.native.pro.feature.hours
and pricing.native.team.feature.compute to every supported locale with complete
translated values, following the existing catalog convention and
full-internationalization requirements. Do not add or modify
vmErrors.sharedResource.

In `@web/messages/ja.json`:
- Line 1013: Update the Japanese Cloud VM allowance text at the relevant entries
in ja.json to state that Pro includes up to 50 machines and Team includes up to
50 machines per paid seat, not per user. Ensure all three referenced messages
use the same seat-based Team wording.

In `@web/tests/vm-independent-limits.test.ts`:
- Line 32: Update both tests in vm-independent-limits.test.ts to guarantee
deletion of their Cloud VM records through finally blocks or equivalent
teardown, including when assertions or repository operations fail. Preserve the
existing cleanup targets and test behavior while ensuring cleanup executes for
the tests at the referenced dbTest cases.
