Closes #13000

Root cause

The left sidebar and the Cloud tree read notification state from two different authorities that were only bridged in one direction, by record identity:

  • The local store (TerminalNotificationStore) keys records by local (workspace, surface) and feeds the left badge/preview, pane ring, tab dot, Dock badge and list-notifications.
  • The Cloud tree dot is a projection of the daemon's notifications rows minus this client's durable read/pendingAcks state, keyed by remote terminal id (CloudNotificationSyncReducer.unreadTerminalIDs).
  • The only bridge was CloudNotificationSyncHub.storeDidChange, a diff of local records' correlation keys → noteRead. A daemon row that never became a local record, or whose record lived somewhere other than where the user dismissed, was invisible to that bridge, so the dot outlived the dismissal.

Four concrete ways that happened, all reproduced by the new suite:

  1. Gate-dropped rows were consumed with no record. deliverNotification returned true for every CloudMachineNotificationGate drop (duplicate id, identical title/body within 5 s, > 5 rows/s per machine, fleet burst), so the row counted as delivered, produced no TerminalNotification, and stayed unread in the tree forever. With ~10 agents finishing close together this is the common case; dismissing the one banner you got cleared the left badge and left the dot. Same for a row the store declined (muted workspace): it was retried once, hit .duplicateID, and was consumed.
  2. Placement was decided once at delivery and never re-evaluated. A row for a terminal with no local pane at delivery time landed on the exact-bound workspace, or, failing that, on any workspace bound to the machine (bound.first). Opening the terminal later and clicking into its pane marked (newWorkspace, pane) read; the record sat on Cloud VM, so the Cloud VM badge counted every remote workspace's notifications (the 7) and the dot on the real workspace never cleared.
  3. Workspace-level records (no surface) are never read by visiting (Workspace-level notifications (no surface) are never marked read by visiting the workspace #12387). Every cloud row placed without a pane is such a record.
  4. A read taken while the machine's sync was gone was dropped (syncs[machineID]?.noteRead), so a provider rebuilt from durable state re-showed the dot.

Fix

One read authority, keyed by stable identities, with every dismissal path going through one shared action:

  • TerminalNotificationStore now reports every read/clear by target (readTargetObserver: .workspace, .surface, .all) from the six target-scoped mutation paths (markRead(forTabId:), markRead(forTabId:surfaceId:), markAllRead, clearAll, both clearNotifications). Pane click, terminal keystroke, workspace visit, sidebar "Mark as Read", mark_read, cmux notify --clear (clear_notifications), mark-all-read and clear-all all arrive there already.
  • CloudNotificationSyncHub.noteRead(coveredBy:) translates that target through the same placement resolver the delivery uses (CloudNotificationPlacementResolver, extracted from the provider) and acknowledges every unread row whose current placement the read covers, whether or not it ever became a record; records for those rows that live on another workspace are read with them. The tree's unreadTerminalIDs changes synchronously inside the dismissal, on the main actor.
  • Delivery returns an explicit CloudNotificationDeliveryOutcome. Gate duplicates and store declines are .suppressed: consumed and acknowledged read in the same fold. Rate-limited rows are .declined: they keep their dot and are delivered on the next fold once the bucket refills, so a burst is spread out, not lost (tokens are only taken by admitted rows, so retries cost nothing).
  • Placement no longer falls back to "any workspace bound to the machine" for a row whose remote workspace is known: a terminal in a remote workspace you have not opened locally stays undelivered, the Cloud tree dot is its indicator, and it is delivered to the right workspace on the fold after you open it. Only machine-level rows (no terminal) use a bound workspace. This is what makes the left badge count only that workspace's notifications.
  • Reads for a machine without a live sync are written to its durable state as a pending ack, so the rebuilt sync flushes them instead of resurrecting the row.
  • NotificationDismissalModel.dismissFocusedPanelNotificationIfActive also dismisses the workspace-level (nil-surface) records with the same context (Workspace-level notifications (no surface) are never marked read by visiting the workspace #12387), so visiting a workspace reads them locally and, through the target observer, on the machine.

Diffing/reload audit: CloudTreeNodeContentSnapshot.contentSignature already includes hasUnreadAttention and CloudTreeRowUpdate targets the row and its collapsed parent (4bbd54f, CloudSidebarAttentionLayoutTests); the hub posts .cmuxCloudNotificationUnreadDidChange → MachinesPanelViewModel.readUnreadTerminalIDs → CloudTreeOutlineView synchronously, so the dot re-renders without waiting for a graph refresh.

Dismissal paths and indicators verified

Paths (test-level, through the real store/model/placement/delivery): click into the pane (dismissNotificationOnDirectInteraction), workspace visit (dismissFocusedPanelNotificationIfActive), banner click (markRead(id:) via the store subscription), clear_notifications store call (clearNotifications(forTabId:surfaceId:)), mark-all-read, provider suspend → read → rebuild, stale daemon snapshot replay, provider rebuild from durable state.

Indicators asserted after each: store record isRead, left sidebar SidebarUnreadModel summary count, unreadCount(forTabId:), pane ring (hasVisibleNotificationIndicator), hub unreadTerminalIDs, sync unread set, Cloud tree workspace row and terminal row hasUnreadAttention via CloudTreeNodeBuilder, and the acks that reach the machine.

Tests

  • cmuxTests/CloudNotificationDismissParityTests + CloudNotificationDismissParityHarness (new, wired in the pbxproj and registered as a focused non-tolerant CI gate in ci.yml / cmux_unit_test_shard.py, since the sharded app-host step tolerates Swift Testing failures): 9 tests covering the paths above, including a gate-dropped identical repeat row, a 7-row burst over the 5/s budget, an unopened remote workspace, a workspace-level row, a dismissal while the machine's sync is unregistered, a muted workspace, and a terminal with no workspace mapping.
  • CmuxNotifications package: NotificationDismissalModelTests.visitingWorkspaceReadsWorkspaceLevelNotifications (Workspace-level notifications (no surface) are never marked read by visiting the workspace #12387); the fake host now mutates its state on mark-read/clear like the real store.
  • Existing CloudNotificationSync*/CloudSidebar* tests updated for the outcome-typed deliverer.

Commit 1 carries the tests plus behavior-preserving seams they need to compile (placement/delivery extracted from the provider with the old logic, outcome enum with the old mapping, injectable hub); commit 2 is the fix. Test evidence: see the PR checks (tests job → "Run Cloud notification dismiss parity regression" focused step; swift-package-tests → CmuxNotifications) and the commit-level red/green below.

Builder evidence (aws-m4pro-4, Xcode 26.3, cmux-unit build-for-testing + test-without-building in the console session)

  • Commit 1 (246bf25f50, tests + seams, old behavior): CloudNotificationDismissParityTests → 7 tests, 6 failed with 41 issues (hub unread index / tree dots still set after the pane click, workspace visit, clear_notifications, mark-all-read; record stacked on the bound workspace; rate-limited rows lost; read dropped while the sync was gone); NotificationDismissalModelTests → 21 tests, visitingWorkspaceReadsWorkspaceLevelNotifications failed. The banner-click test (existing subscription path) passed.
  • Commit 3 (614c3ed5d4, review follow-ups: mute decided before admission, fail-closed placement for unmapped terminals): CloudNotificationDismissParityTests 9/9 passed (two new tests), NotificationDismissalModelTests 21/21, CloudNotificationSyncTests 13/13, CloudSidebarNotificationTests 9/9.
  • Commit 2 (7452629a4e, fix): CloudNotificationDismissParityTests 7/7 passed; NotificationDismissalModelTests 21/21 passed; CloudNotificationSyncTests 13/13, CloudSidebarNotificationTests 9/9, CloudNotificationSyncStoreTests 5/5, CloudSidebarScaleTests 3/3, CloudSidebarAttentionLayoutTests 3/3, NotificationDismissSyncTests 12/12, TerminalNotificationClearAllTests 15/15, WorkspaceManualUnreadTests 60/60, SidebarWorkspaceNotificationIndexTests 3/3, TabManagerNotificationFocusRegressionTests 1/1 passed.

Trade-offs

  • Rate-limited rows are now retried on later folds instead of being consumed. The 5/s-per-machine and fleet bounds are unchanged (a hostile machine posting continuously was already admitted at that rate); what changes is that a burst is throttled rather than dropped.
  • Gate duplicates and muted-workspace declines are acknowledged as read to the machine (read_by gains this client for rows this Mac never displayed). Other clients (phone) keep their own read state.
  • A notification from a remote workspace you have not opened locally no longer produces a local banner/badge; the Cloud tree dot is the indicator until you open it. Previously it stacked onto an unrelated bound workspace with a banner whose click opened the wrong workspace.
  • Visiting a workspace now also reads its workspace-level (no surface) notifications, e.g. the memory-pressure warning (Workspace-level notifications (no surface) are never marked read by visiting the workspace #12387). Manual/restored indicator policy is unchanged (same context).
  • TerminalNotificationStore.swift is past the file-length budget, so 106 lines of settings enums moved to TerminalNotificationStoreSettings.swift to offset the observer hook; CloudNotificationSyncHub moved to its own file for the same reason.
  • No user-facing strings were added or changed (the cloudNotification.subtitle.machine key moved with the delivery code); localization audit: localization_catalog.py check passes, changed Swift files scanned for bare Text(/Button( literals.

Regression tests for #13000: a Cloud notification must have
one read state. Rows come off the daemon feed, become local records through
the provider's placement and delivery, and every dismissal path (click into
the pane, workspace visit, banner click, `clear_notifications`, mark-all-read,
a dismissal while the machine's sync is gone) must clear the store record, the
left sidebar summary, the pane ring, and the Cloud tree workspace and terminal
rows at once, including after a stale daemon snapshot and a provider rebuild
from durable state. Also covers a gate-dropped identical repeat row, a burst
over the per-machine admission rate, a remote workspace with no local
workspace (which must not stack onto another workspace's badge), and a
workspace-level row read by visiting the workspace (#12387,
as a CmuxNotifications package test).

The suite is a focused non-tolerant CI gate (ci.yml, cmux_unit_test_shard.py),
since the sharded app-host step tolerates Swift Testing failures.

To compile the tests against the real pieces, this commit also extracts the
provider's placement and delivery into `CloudNotificationPlacementResolver`
and `CloudNotificationLocalDelivery` with their current behavior, types the
deliverer's result as `CloudNotificationDeliveryOutcome` with the current
mapping, makes `CloudNotificationSyncHub` constructible with an injected
store/gate (moved to its own file), adds the store's read-target observer
hook with no consumer yet, and moves the store's settings enums to
`TerminalNotificationStoreSettings.swift` to stay within the file budget.
No behavior changes; the new tests fail on the behavior assertions.

Fixes #13000 and #12387.

The Cloud tree dot was a projection of daemon rows minus this client's read
state, bridged to the local store only by a diff of local records. Rows that
never became a record (admission-gate drops, muted workspaces) or whose
record was placed on another workspace before the terminal was opened here
were invisible to that bridge, so the dot outlived the dismissal; reads taken
while the machine's sync was unregistered were dropped; workspace-level
records were never read by visiting the workspace.

- The store reports every read/clear by target (`readTargetObserver`) and the
  hub translates it through the same placement resolver the delivery uses,
  acknowledging every unread row whose current placement the read covers and
  reading its records wherever they live. The tree's unread index changes
  synchronously inside the dismissal.
- Delivery outcomes: gate duplicates and store declines are suppressed
  (consumed and read in the same fold); rate-limited rows are declined and
  delivered on a later fold once the bucket refills, throttled rather than
  lost.
- Placement no longer falls back to any workspace bound to the machine for a
  row whose remote workspace is known: a terminal in a remote workspace not
  opened locally keeps only its Cloud tree dot until it is opened, so a
  workspace row badges only its own notifications.
- Reads for a machine without a live sync are written to its durable state
  as a pending acknowledgement for the replacement sync.
- Visiting a workspace also dismisses its workspace-level (no-surface)
  notifications with the same context (#12387).

The change synchronizes cloud notification delivery and read state with local notification state. It fixes workspace-level dismissal without a focused surface and adds parity tests for cloud-tree, sidebar, store, and sync state.

Changes

Cloud notification dismissal synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Delivery outcomes and placement
Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationLocalDelivery.swift, Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationPlacement.swift, Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationSync.swift
Delivery now distinguishes delivered, declined, and suppressed rows. Placement resolves local targets, and sync records suppressed rows as read.
Read-state hub and store integration
Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationSyncHub.swift, Sources/TerminalNotificationStore.swift, Sources/Surfaces/CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider+Notifications.swift
The hub maps workspace, surface, all-read, and clear operations to per-machine acknowledgements. The provider uses the local hub and extracted delivery components.
Dismissal behavior and regression coverage
Packages/macOS/CmuxNotifications/..., cmuxTests/CloudNotificationDismissParity*, cmuxTests/CloudNotificationSync*Tests, cmuxTests/CloudSidebar*Tests
Workspace visits now read workspace-level notifications without a focused surface. Tests cover repeated reads, placement, clears, muted workspaces, suspended syncs, rate limits, and cloud-tree state.
Settings extraction and project wiring
Sources/TerminalNotificationStoreSettings.swift, Sources/TerminalNotificationStore.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Notification settings and focus helpers move to a separate source file. The project registers the new source and test files.
Focused regression CI execution
.github/workflows/ci.yml, scripts/ci/cmux_unit_test_shard.py, tests/test_ci_cmux_unit_test_shard.py
The parity suite is excluded from normal shards and runs in the focused macOS app-host regression step.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 26.19% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 84 functions across 17 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The pull request adds production notification-read paths with nested full-collection scans. In Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationSync.swift:371-375, noteRead(coveredBy:) scans every unread notification row and calls resolveTarget(row) for each non-.all target. The production resolver in Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationPlacement.swift:62-73 scans bound workspaces and catalog projections per row, while Sources/Surfaces/CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider+Notifications.swift:75-86 scans the remote state tabs and local workspace tabs. This makes a workspace or surface dismissal O(R × (P + T + W)) instead of one pass with indexed placement data, where R is notification rows, P is catalog projections, T is remote tabs, and W is local workspaces. The PR wires this path to all target-scoped store mutations through readTargetObserver (Sources/TerminalNotificationStore.swift:1814-2284), so it runs on normal workspace, pane, and clear actions. The diff contains no placement cache, bulk resolver, or benchmark for the expected roughly 1000-workspace scale. The diff also adds a new suppression call at Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationSync.swift:336-338 to the existing recordRead implementation, whose Sources/Cloud/CloudNotificationSync.swift:141 loop calls batch.contains(id) for each id, producing O(S²) work for a suppressed notification batch in the fold path.

Resolution

Build placement indexes once per current catalog/state snapshot, or add a bulk targets(for:) operation that resolves all rows with dictionaries and one-pass workspace/projection data. Use the existing CloudVMStateIndex for remote terminal-to-workspace lookup and cache or index local projections and bound workspaces by stable identifiers. Then make noteRead(coveredBy:) perform one linear pass over rows with O(1) placement lookups. Replace recordRead's array-based batch.contains(id) deduplication with a Set&lt;String&gt; while constructing the batch. Add a scale measurement or benchmark covering approximately 1000 workspaces and the maximum notification-row batch.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The PR introduces reusable Cloud notification domain logic directly under the app target's Sources/Cloud/ path. CloudNotificationPlacement.swift adds a closure-driven placement resolver and read-target coverage model with no AppKit, SwiftUI, Ghostty, or app-lifecycle dependency. CloudNotificationLocalDelivery.swift adds outcome/admission logic behind injected closures, and CloudNotificationSync.swift materially expands the state machine with suppression, retry, and target-based acknowledgement behavior. The app target compiles these files directly, while the PR adds no SwiftPM target. The new sync tests instantiate the logic through injected seams, which confirms that the core can be tested independently. CloudNotificationSyncHub and provider wiring may remain app composition, but the placement and sync core should not remain app-root code.

Resolution

Create a small SwiftPM target named CmuxCloudNotificationCore. Move the notification row/value models, delivery outcome, sync state and reducer, read-target/placement value logic, and the target-based sync engine into that target. Expose CloudNotificationRow as the first public value type, plus the minimal delivery and acknowledgement protocols or closure-based interfaces. Keep CloudNotificationSyncHub, CloudNotificationLocalDelivery's TerminalNotificationStore adapter, CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider wiring, NotificationCenter updates, and AppKit/UI lifecycle composition in the app target. Add package unit tests for parsing, placement coverage, suppression/retry decisions, durable acknowledgements, and stale snapshot handling, then make the app target depend on the package instead of compiling the core files from Sources/Cloud/.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The PR introduces a new observer side channel between TerminalNotificationStore and Cloud state. readTargetObserver is a mutable optional callback installed by CloudNotificationSyncHub.attach(store:), and six store mutation methods invoke it with defer. The hub then iterates its separate sync registry and mirrors the result back into the store. This violates the rule's explicit ban on new observers and side channels. The pre-existing hub singleton and unread cache are not the finding; the target observer and target-based bridge are new in this diff. The symptom is that local read state and Cloud read state can diverge when this one callback is replaced, missing, or bypassed. The structural root cause is split ownership: TerminalNotificationStore, each CloudNotificationSync, the hub, and the panel projection each retain part of the read state. A single notification read authority should own the target transition, placement resolution, durable acknowledgement, and UI snapshot.

Resolution

Replace readTargetObserver and the hub's store callback bridge with one explicit notification-read authority. Route every local read and clear action through that authority, which updates the local store and all affected Cloud sync state in one transition. Make the durable read state the source of truth and expose a value snapshot plus action closures to the Cloud tree instead of a mutable hub cache and notification side channel. The first migration cut should remove the optional observer from TerminalNotificationStore, route one target-scoped dismissal path through the authority, and add an invariant test that the local store, durable Cloud state, and tree snapshot change in the same transition.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the manual-unread fakes mutate too.

The production clear methods remove their entries and return whether they removed state. The fake only checks membership, so the workspace-level clear remains true on the second pass of dismissFocusedPanelNotificationIfActive, even though production cleared it on the first pass. The surface and panel fakes also need to model their respective clear mutations for repeated dismissals.

Review follow-ups on #13004:

- `CloudNotificationLocalDelivery` decides workspace mute explicitly, before
  the admission gate, and only that decision suppresses (reads) the row. Any
  other store decline is transient (the pane's live owner vanished between
  placement and delivery) and is declined for the next fold instead of being
  acknowledged without a record.
- `CloudNotificationPlacementResolver` returns no placement for a terminal
  row the accepted graph places in no workspace, instead of treating an
  unknown placement as a machine-level one and badging an unrelated bound
  workspace. Only rows without a terminal use the bound-workspace fallback.
- Parity tests for both; the harness moves to its own file.
- The dismissal-model fake host mutates its manual-unread state on clear,
  like the store, so repeated dismissals are modeled faithfully.

Make cloud notification admission transactional with local delivery.

CloudMachineNotificationGate.admit records an allowed row ID before CloudNotificationLocalDelivery.deliver calls store.addNotification. If that call returns nil, delivery returns .declined; the sync removes only its delivery bookkeeping. The next fold retries the row, receives .duplicateID, returns .suppressed, and queues an acknowledgement without creating a local record.

Add a reserve, commit, and cancel gate API. Commit the reservation only after addNotification succeeds. Cancel an allowed reservation before returning .declined. The gate reservation must remain the single source of truth for whether the row was consumed.

Main's manaflow-ai#13004 reads workspace-level notifications on a workspace visit via
dismissNotification(surfaceId: nil), whose whole-workspace mark-read also
clears every pane's manual and restored unread markers, bypassing the
context's indicator policy. The visit now calls
storeMarkWorkspaceLevelNotificationsRead behind the same selection and
active-app guards, and the PR's hook inside dismissNotification is dropped
since the visit pass covers the trigger. The store method reports a
.surface(nil) read target so Cloud rows placed at the workspace level are
acknowledged as before.

* Test Cloud notification dismiss parity across the two sidebars

Regression tests for manaflow-ai/cmux#13000: a Cloud notification must have
one read state. Rows come off the daemon feed, become local records through
the provider's placement and delivery, and every dismissal path (click into
the pane, workspace visit, banner click, `clear_notifications`, mark-all-read,
a dismissal while the machine's sync is gone) must clear the store record, the
left sidebar summary, the pane ring, and the Cloud tree workspace and terminal
rows at once, including after a stale daemon snapshot and a provider rebuild
from durable state. Also covers a gate-dropped identical repeat row, a burst
over the per-machine admission rate, a remote workspace with no local
workspace (which must not stack onto another workspace's badge), and a
workspace-level row read by visiting the workspace (manaflow-ai/cmux#12387,
as a CmuxNotifications package test).

The suite is a focused non-tolerant CI gate (ci.yml, cmux_unit_test_shard.py),
since the sharded app-host step tolerates Swift Testing failures.

To compile the tests against the real pieces, this commit also extracts the
provider's placement and delivery into `CloudNotificationPlacementResolver`
and `CloudNotificationLocalDelivery` with their current behavior, types the
deliverer's result as `CloudNotificationDeliveryOutcome` with the current
mapping, makes `CloudNotificationSyncHub` constructible with an injected
store/gate (moved to its own file), adds the store's read-target observer
hook with no consumer yet, and moves the store's settings enums to
`TerminalNotificationStoreSettings.swift` to stay within the file budget.
No behavior changes; the new tests fail on the behavior assertions.

* Dismiss Cloud notifications everywhere at once

Fixes manaflow-ai/cmux#13000 and manaflow-ai/cmux#12387.

The Cloud tree dot was a projection of daemon rows minus this client's read
state, bridged to the local store only by a diff of local records. Rows that
never became a record (admission-gate drops, muted workspaces) or whose
record was placed on another workspace before the terminal was opened here
were invisible to that bridge, so the dot outlived the dismissal; reads taken
while the machine's sync was unregistered were dropped; workspace-level
records were never read by visiting the workspace.

- The store reports every read/clear by target (`readTargetObserver`) and the
  hub translates it through the same placement resolver the delivery uses,
  acknowledging every unread row whose current placement the read covers and
  reading its records wherever they live. The tree's unread index changes
  synchronously inside the dismissal.
- Delivery outcomes: gate duplicates and store declines are suppressed
  (consumed and read in the same fold); rate-limited rows are declined and
  delivered on a later fold once the bucket refills, throttled rather than
  lost.
- Placement no longer falls back to any workspace bound to the machine for a
  row whose remote workspace is known: a terminal in a remote workspace not
  opened locally keeps only its Cloud tree dot until it is opened, so a
  workspace row badges only its own notifications.
- Reads for a machine without a live sync are written to its durable state
  as a pending acknowledgement for the replacement sync.
- Visiting a workspace also dismisses its workspace-level (no-surface)
  notifications with the same context (#12387).

* Decide mute before admission and fail closed on unmapped terminals

Review follow-ups on manaflow-ai/cmux#13004:

- `CloudNotificationLocalDelivery` decides workspace mute explicitly, before
  the admission gate, and only that decision suppresses (reads) the row. Any
  other store decline is transient (the pane's live owner vanished between
  placement and delivery) and is declined for the next fold instead of being
  acknowledged without a record.
- `CloudNotificationPlacementResolver` returns no placement for a terminal
  row the accepted graph places in no workspace, instead of treating an
  unknown placement as a machine-level one and badging an unrelated bound
  workspace. Only rows without a terminal use the bound-workspace fallback.
- Parity tests for both; the harness moves to its own file.
- The dismissal-model fake host mutates its manual-unread state on clear,
  like the store, so repeated dismissals are modeled faithfully.

Cloud tree keeps the unread notification dot after the notification was dismissed (right sidebar disagrees with the workspace)
