Cloud Bash prompts now show cmux@<vm-name>. New Cloud terminals source a thin system prompt file, read /etc/cmux/vm-name with Bash builtins before each prompt, and follow the generated slug or a renamed display label. Rename propagation is atomic and revision-ordered, so stale attach retries cannot roll back a newer name. Paused machines receive the saved name on their next attach.

Users can set PS1 after the /etc/cmux/bashrc source line or remove that source line to replace the shell setup. User files are never edited. The prompt path does not run Git, spawn child processes, call the network, or use an environment variable for customization.

The Freestyle devbox image ladder was promoted from this revision for both desktop and base kinds at sm, md, lg, lgx, xl, and 2xl. The image verifier passed all toolchain, daemon, desktop, shell, prompt, and cleanup checks. The checked-in manifest now points future VM creation and Base/workspace creation at those validated images.

The change also restores terminal write, key, screen read, and screen wait methods lost from the shared provider during extraction, plus the related Cloud workspace and dev backend regressions found during validation.

Validation:

  • 101 focused tests passed, 60 database cases skipped without the isolated database, 0 failed.
  • bun run typecheck passed.
  • bun run lint:complexity passed.
  • bun run devbox:manifest:check passed with 12 validated Freestyle defaults.
  • Freestyle image promotion and verification passed for the complete 12-entry desktop/base ladder.
  • Real Cloud VM E2E passed: rename changed an existing hooked shell on its next prompt, clearing the label restored the generated slug, and user prompt customization remained intact.
  • Prompt performance on Ubuntu Bash 5.2.21: 10,000 prompt draws, median 39.02 microseconds per draw, 0.142 ms setup, no child processes, and no IP connections.
  • The tagged app build passed before the manifest-only image promotion. A follow-up reload on the shared host reached Xcode but was blocked by that host's missing rustup for the unrelated diff-sidecar script.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 46.43% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 28 functions across 18 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The new cleanup path performs a per-target full projection scan. Sources/Surfaces/CmuxTuiSurfaceProviders.swift:920-928 calls closeLocalPanes(showing: [id]) for each terminal, and the helper scans all catalog.snapshot.projections with one-element wanted set membership. The existing batch cleanup at Sources/Surfaces/CloudEnvDelivery.swift:77-85 invokes closeTerminal once per terminal ID. This creates O(T×P) work for T terminals and P projections, instead of one pass or an index. The PR activates this previously unsupported cleanup path, so the cost is introduced by the PR.

Resolution

Add a batch cleanup path for receiver terminal IDs. Close the remote terminals individually, collect their SurfaceResourceID values, then scan catalog.snapshot.projections once and close projections whose resources are in one Set. Keep the single-terminal UI path on a one-pass lookup, or maintain a dictionary/index from SurfaceResourceID to projections in SurfaceCatalog. Do not call closeLocalPanes(showing: [id]) inside every batch callback.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The PR adds 34 lines of production terminal transport and JSON parsing logic in Sources/Surfaces/CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider+TerminalIO.swift. The new sendText, sendKeys, readScreen, and waitForScreen methods only build protocol commands, run them, clamp timeouts, and decode responses. They do not use AppKit, SwiftUI, Ghostty state, or app lifecycle state. SurfaceSocketCommands, environment delivery, and file delivery consume these methods. No SwiftPM package target owns this terminal protocol or parsing logic. The other Swift changes are app-lifecycle cleanup or Workspace/AppKit integration and do not independently trigger this check.

Resolution

Extract the transport-independent terminal feature into a small CmuxCloudTerminalIO SwiftPM target. The first public API should be a CloudTerminalCommandRunning protocol and a CloudTerminalIO value/service that exposes sendText, sendKeys, readScreen, waitForScreen, timeout clamping, command construction, and response decoding. Keep link lookup and ProviderError.machineAsleep in the app adapter, which can pass the connected socket path and a CloudMachineLink-backed runner to the package. Add package tests with a fake runner, then have CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider delegate to that package.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The change introduces user-facing paths that can expose internal daemon names and raw command errors. The new closeTerminal implementation rethrows non-selector.not_found failures from runCloseCommand. The existing CloudTreeNodeActions close action sends that localized error to onFailure, while CloudMachineLink.LinkError formats cmux-tui and appends daemon stderr. This exposes an internal provider name and raw upstream/daemon output. The new prompt install prefix in FreestyleProvider.openCmuxRemote also makes prompt-installer stderr/stdout flow into the existing attach ProviderError; the VM route includes the sanitized-but-still mostly raw provider message in public reason and details.providerMessage. The added prompt installer can therefore expose internal paths or implementation diagnostics on attach failure.

Resolution

Return safe product-level errors for terminal close and Cloud VM attach failures. Do not place daemon/provider names, command output, filesystem paths, or raw upstream messages in localized errors, API reason, or API details. Log the full diagnostics only in internal logs or telemetry. For closeTerminal, wrap non-idempotent close failures in a generic message such as “The terminal could not be closed. Refresh and try again.” For attach and prompt installation failures, keep the public response generic and include only a safe operation code and support trace id.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds production user-facing shell text without locale handling. web/services/vms/images/devbox/cmux-prompt.bash:14 installs PS1 containing the English connector in, and web/services/vms/images/devbox/README.md:105 documents the new prompt. The prompt is baked into the Docker image and installed by web/services/vms/guestPrompt.ts:28,72-75, then used on create, rename, and attach in web/services/vms/workflows.ts. It does not read next-intl or another locale-specific source. No prompt-related entries were added to the 20 locale files under web/messages/, while web/i18n/routing.ts lists all 20 locales. The README is operational documentation and is allowed, but the prompt rendered to Cloud VM users is not. The Swift changes add no user-facing Swift text and no catalog change.

Resolution

Add a locale-specific prompt message source for the new rendered wording, such as a stable prompt connector/fallback key. Select the user's locale during create, rename, and attach, pass the localized value into the guest prompt installer, and avoid hard-coded English prompt copy in cmux-prompt.bash. Add matching translated entries to every locale in web/i18n/routing.ts and every corresponding web/messages/*.json file. Keep machine identifiers such as cmux, VM slugs, and file paths as literal tokens where required.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Decode terminal responses off MainActor.

CloudMachineLink is an actor, so connection acquisition and runMeasured process I/O do not execute on CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider's MainActor. However, readScreen, waitForScreen, currentWorkingDirectory, waitForExit, and readOutput call JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with:) after the await. readOutput accepts up to 4 MiB, so decoding a large response can delay rendering and pane lifecycle work.

Move response decoding to a nonisolated @concurrent transport helper and return immutable Sendable results to the provider. Keep UI and catalog state on CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider. The scoped rule requires this parsing hop; it does not require moving CloudMachineLink's connection lookup or process execution to a new transport owner.

Persist .prompt-identity before replacing vm-name.

openVmCmuxRemote passes a VM identity snapshot to guestPromptInstallCommand. If revision 200 replaces vm-name and the process stops before updating .prompt-identity, a queued same-machine attach with revision 150 can compare against the persisted revision 100 and replace the newer name. The attach recovery does not prevent this ordering.

Write .prompt-identity first, then replace vm-name. An interruption then leaves the old name visible, and revision 150 is rejected by persisted revision 200. One atomically replaced record is not required for this stale-overwrite path.
