Reviewer summary

Moves session persistence and autosave lifecycle code out of the app delegate, keeping save timing and restore behavior in one place.

What changed

Extract session snapshot persistence and autosave lifecycle management from AppDelegate into focused collaborators.

SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter owns durable snapshot/geometry/crash-marker writes. SessionAutosaveCoordinator owns timer scheduling, generation/fingerprint tracking, in-flight suppression, and typing-quiet retries. AppDelegate remains the lifecycle composition root and supplies persistence and snapshot closures.

This branch is reconstructed directly on current manaflow-ai/cmux:main and is independent of the stale fork refactor stack. The Xcode project diff now registers only the two session-lifecycle files; unrelated UI-test and About/Licenses registrations from the prior branch state were removed.

Validation

  • The original extraction passed swiftc -D DEBUG -parse, scripts/check-pbxproj.sh, and git diff --check.
  • Review found two type-check failures that parse-only validation could not catch: the missing persisted-window-id state and missing TTY-binding capture. Both are restored on the rewritten head.
  • The autosave lifecycle follow-up owns the active task and generation together, invalidates it on stop, captures current TTY device bindings before process-detected scans, and cancels scheduled work from both normal shutdown and deinit.
  • Both current review follow-ups are folded into the single commit, and the branch has been re-rooted onto the latest upstream main. A full current-head build remains required.

Summary by cubic

Extracts session snapshot persistence and autosave lifecycle management from AppDelegate into focused collaborators. Autosave previously left in-flight work active when stopping; it now cancels in-flight and deferred work on termination and deinit, and empty primary snapshot removal after a crash now preserves the manual-restore backup.

Refactors

  • SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter owns durable snapshot, window-geometry, legacy-geometry cleanup, and crash-marker writes.
  • SessionAutosaveCoordinator owns timer scheduling, typing-quiet retries, fingerprint-based skip state, and save-generation tracking.
  • AppDelegate remains the composition root and provides snapshot construction, fingerprinting, TTY bindings, and persistence closures.

Written for commit 2862ccb. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change extracts session autosave and snapshot persistence from AppDelegate into SessionAutosaveCoordinator and SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter. AppDelegate now wires these components and forwards lifecycle, typing, and persistence operations to them.

Changes

Session autosave composition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot persistence writer
Sources/SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter.swift, Sources/AppDelegate.swift, Sources/AppDelegate+CrashSessionSnapshotRemoval.swift
SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter centralizes snapshot writes, geometry defaults cleanup, snapshot removal, and crash-only marker operations. AppDelegate delegates these operations to the writer.
Autosave coordinator
Sources/SessionAutosaveCoordinator.swift
SessionAutosaveCoordinator owns the autosave timer, typing-quiet retry, fingerprint checks, save generations, and save-state updates.
AppDelegate autosave integration
Sources/AppDelegate.swift
AppDelegate constructs the writer and coordinator, forwards lifecycle and typing events, and removes the former local autosave state and helper methods.
Target source registration
cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
The Xcode target registers the new autosave coordinator and snapshot persistence writer source files.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 4.55% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 22 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The production target adds a new timing sleep at Sources/SessionAutosaveCoordinator.swift:302: try await ContinuousClock().sleep(for: .seconds(delay)). This task implements the typing-quiet autosave retry, not test scaffolding or UI animation. The file is registered in the application PBXSourcesBuildPhase, so the sleep ships in runtime code. The base implementation used sessionPersistenceQueue.asyncAfter; the pull request therefore changes this retry synchronization to a new sleep primitive. The existing periodic autosave timer was moved from AppDelegate and was not independently expanded.

Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source

Explanation

Sources/SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter.swift:26 adds var snapshotStore: Store { store }, which exposes the otherwise-private store property. The PR introduces this accessor in a production Sources/ file, and repository searches show no production or test caller; the writer itself uses store directly. This is a test-observability/debug seam under the rule, even though it has no test-specific name or #if DEBUG guard.

Resolution

Remove snapshotStore from Sources/SessionSnapshotPersistenceWriter.swift. If tests must inspect the store, widen private let store to internal only as needed and read it from the test target through @testable import, without adding a production wrapper accessor. If the facility is genuinely debug-only, isolate it in a dedicated debug file or folder. See the reference fix: #6452.

🔴 Critical · Pass ttyDeviceBindings into… · AppDelegate.swift:5020-5029

Sources/AppDelegate.swift:5020-5029
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Pass ttyDeviceBindings into saveSessionSnapshotAfterLoadingProcessDetectedIndexes. The function signature declares no such parameter, and the function has no local or enclosing declaration. The Task therefore references an unresolved identifier, so Swift cannot compile AppDelegate. Add the caller-provided bindings parameter and update the call sites at lines 2511, 4041, 4581, and 18424 to pass their snapshots. Do not recompute the bindings inside this function.

its generation as one active-attempt state. Have stop() cancel and invalidate
the active attempt, and make finish clear the state only when its completing
generation still matches the active generation.
