Opening a machine's Desktop from its sidebar row or cmux vm desktop, in a workspace bound to that machine, created the pane and then closed it again within a second. The pane vanished from the workspace layout and the debug log recorded nothing about the close.

Two halves combined. The browser pane binds its Cloud resource through SurfaceCatalog.restore while the provider configures it: the freshly created pane still carries its local placeholder projection, so configureBrowser sees a resource mismatch and re-registers the pane as the display. That record has no remote workspace, and restore inserted it unchanged, so the Desktop preview never joined the workspace it mirrors. The reuse-enabled open then found that same-panel record, treated the pane as a reused view, skipped projectionDidMove, and reported reused: true. Workspace reconciliation saw a preview with no bound workspace among the workspace's placements and closed it as obsolete. Opens with reuse disabled were unaffected, which is why the failure looked intermittent.

Implemented:

  • restore and pending-restore resolution give a Desktop or port record without provenance the workspace its local workspace mirrors, as record already does. Persisted provenance is kept as recorded.
  • A materialization whose pane registered itself is treated as this operation's pane: the record is kept and placement finishes like a fresh open, so reused is reported truthfully.
  • Reconciliation logs each obsolete close in Debug (cloudWorkspace.projection.obsolete), since this close left no trace.

Regression tests land in the first commit and fail on main: a restored Desktop or port record without provenance joins its bound workspace and is not obsolete in the projection plan, and an open whose pane registered itself survives reconciliation and reports the pane as created.

Verified so far: reproduced on the previous tagged build through the debug socket. surface.project with reuse on lost the projection within 0.6 s; the same call with reuse off kept it with remote_workspace_id set. Tagged build and dogfood evidence follow in comments.

Addresses #13192 (the Desktop pane disappearing after #13196).

Summary by cubic

Fixes the Cloud Desktop pane disappearing within a second of opening in a workspace bound to that machine, caused by the pane registering itself through restore while the provider configured it.

Bug Fixes

  • A restored Desktop or port record without remote provenance now joins its bound workspace instead of staying unbound.
  • A pane that registers itself during materialization is treated as that operation's pane, so reconciliation no longer closes it as obsolete and reused is reported truthfully.
  • Reconciliation logs each obsolete close in Debug, since this close previously left no trace.

Written for commit b6652d6. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Restored local previews now appear in the currently bound workspace, including previews without saved workspace details.
    • Panes registered while opening are now retained during workspace reconciliation, preventing them from being closed prematurely.
    • Restored panes keep their existing workspace placement, helping avoid incorrect cleanup during restoration.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for restored previews joining the bound workspace and newly opened panes remaining available after reconciliation.

Opening a Cloud machine's Desktop in a workspace bound to that machine
creates the pane and then, within a second, workspace reconciliation
closes it again. The browser pane binds its Cloud resource through the
catalog's restore path while the provider configures it, and that record
carries no remote workspace, so the reuse-enabled open reports the pane
as reused, skips placement, and the projection plan treats the pane as
obsolete.

Cover both halves: a restored Desktop or port record without provenance
must join its bound workspace, and an open whose pane registered itself
must survive reconciliation and report the pane as created.

Opening a machine's Desktop from the sidebar or `cmux vm desktop` in a
workspace bound to that machine created the pane and then closed it
again within a second. Two halves combined:

- The browser pane binds its Cloud resource through `SurfaceCatalog.restore`
  while the provider configures it (the freshly created pane still carries
  its local placeholder, so `configureBrowser` re-registers it). That
  record has no remote workspace, and `restore` inserted it as-is, so the
  Desktop preview never joined the workspace it mirrors.
- The reuse-enabled open then found that same-panel record, treated the
  pane as a reused view, skipped `projectionDidMove`, and reported
  `reused: true`. Workspace reconciliation saw a preview with no bound
  workspace among its placements and closed it as obsolete.

`restore` and pending-restore resolution now give a Desktop or port record
without provenance the workspace its local workspace mirrors, as `record`
already does, while persisted provenance is kept. A materialization whose
pane registered itself is treated as this operation's pane: the record is
kept and placement finishes like a fresh open. Reconciliation logs each
obsolete close in Debug, since this close was invisible in the debug log.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Restored local previews without remote workspace provenance now resolve against the bound workspace. Project completion reuses a matching projection registered during materialization. Tests cover both behaviors, and debug builds log details when reconciliation closes obsolete projections.

Changes

Cloud projection handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve restored preview membership
Sources/Surfaces/CloudPlacementCoordinator.swift, Sources/Surfaces/SurfaceCatalog.swift, cmuxTests/CloudWorkspaceLiveProjectionTests.swift
Restored projections pass through local preview membership resolution before insertion. Tests verify that restored local previews join the bound workspace and are not marked obsolete.
Preserve projections registered during materialization
cmuxTests/CloudPlacementTestProvider.swift, Sources/Surfaces/SurfaceCatalog.swift, Sources/Surfaces/CloudWorkspaceProjectionCoordinator.swift, cmuxTests/CloudWorkspaceLiveProjectionTests.swift
Project completion reuses a matching projection already registered for the panel and resource. Tests exercise registration during materialization and verify that reconciliation preserves the projection. Debug builds log identifiers and desired placement counts when closing obsolete projections.

Verified on the tagged build issue-13192-display-preview-membership (head b6652d6546, authenticated dev profile, GCP dev backend), driven through the debug socket against machine bubbly-cherry-zebra in its bound workspace:

  • surface.project on display/display:1 with reuse on now returns reused: false and remote_workspace_id: ws_1073d2aa… immediately; the projection and its pane were still present after 8 s of sampling, after a second open (which correctly reused the same pane), and after a forced machine refresh.
  • Zero cloudWorkspace.projection.obsolete lines in the app's debug log for the session.
  • The same sequence on the previous build (019fd05c84, same machine and workspace) lost the projection within 0.6 s and closed the pane, while reuse off kept it. That is the pre-fix behavior the first commit's tests encode.

Hosted focused runs of CloudWorkspaceLiveProjectionTests: fix head https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/35787072366, test-only commit 1ca1b692ea https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/35787076602 (expected to fail).

Add placement constraint validation to the fast-path projection reuse.

The first branch (lines 816–821) matches a registered projection by panelID and resource alone, without validating remoteTabID or workspaceID constraints. The second branch (lines 823–826) enforces both constraints when they are non-nil in the requested MaterializationKey.

A registered projection can exist with the same panelID and resource but a different workspace or remote daemon tab. moveProjections (line 1208) reassigns workspaceID to an existing projection. The comment at line 639–645 documents that remoteTabID is a placement identity: reusing a pane attached to a different tab would cause a later rename to target the wrong daemon object. Both constraints are request-placement requirements in MaterializationKey (lines 6–8 of SurfaceProjectionMaterialization+Key.swift).

The first branch should enforce the same constraints as the second branch before reusing the registered projection. This shared correction prevents both wrong-workspace and wrong-daemon-tab reuse in a single fix.

Reviewed this independently. The production reasoning holds up and I think the
fix is right for the reported bug — but I'd hold the merge on verification, and
there's one sibling case the new authoritative choice gets wrong.

The blocker: the new tests have never run green

PR CI is green, but macos / app-host unit tests is skipping on this run —
and the new tests live in cmuxTests/CloudWorkspaceLiveProjectionTests.swift,
exactly the target that didn't run. Only macOS compile admission covered them.

I checked both dispatched runs cited in the comment:

  • Fix head, run 35787072366 → cancelled. Run unit tests was killed at
    22:17 still inside xcodebuild (started 21:45). The log has zero test
    output — no Executed N tests, no Test run with …. Not a passing run.
  • Test-only commit 1ca1b692, run 35787076602 → failure, as intended —
    but not cleanly. Test run with 12 tests in 1 suite failed … with 14 issues,
    and 9 pre-existing tests in the suite failed too, not just the 2 new ones.
    The first causal line is an existing test:
    ✘ "Opening a port in a bound Cloud workspace survives reconciliation and follows local moves"
      Caught error: destinationNotFound("92CDB48F-…")
    

So the baseline run doesn't isolate the new tests. Two readings, both worth
settling:

  1. The new boundWorkspaceFixture builds a real Workspace() and drives
    SurfacePaneFactory, unlike every other test in this suite (fabricated
    UUID()s). Workspace.liveWorkspace(id:) resolves through
    AppDelegate.shared?.tabManagerFor(tabId:), and validateOwnership throws
    destinationNotFound off exactly that lookup. The suite is @Suite without
    .serialized, so Swift Testing may interleave these at await points.
  2. Or the suite simply isn't green in isolation, in which case the dispatched
    run isn't a valid signal at all.

Given that a red cmuxTests file reddens main for every open PR — and PR CI
won't catch it here because the shard skips — I'd want one completed focused run
on b6652d65 showing this suite green before merging.

The code finding — one line, and it's a sibling case rather than a regression

SurfaceCatalog.swift:816-821 returns the self-registered record and silently
discards the provider's projection, including its remote provenance. The
self-registration always comes from CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider+PortForward.swift:107-108,
which restores with no remoteWorkspaceID/remoteTabID — and it fires on
every display/browser materialization, since a fresh BrowserPanel always
carries a local placeholder so existing.resource != resourceID always holds.

With daemon browser tabs (the parser builds .browser resources with
remoteViews), that churns: reconcile wants (browserRes, W, T) → materialize
returns it → the new branch returns the nil, nil record → next reconcile sees
(browserRes, nil, nil) ∉ wanted → plan.obsolete closes the pane → plan.missing
recreates it. reconcileCloudWorkspaceBinding re-requests on each record, so
it self-sustains.

To be fair: main churns here too (it records both projections and
endProjections(panelID:) removes both), so this isn't a regression — it's a
case the new authoritative choice picks the wrong winner for. Minimal fix is to
let the provider's projection win while removing the stale self-registered one
(projections.remove(registered); record(projection)), which also gives the
correct result for the nil-tab Desktop case. CodeRabbit flagged the same line but
suggested re-adding the key constraints — that would restore the duplicate-record
bug, so replacing is the better shape.

What's clean

Double registration is genuinely eliminated in the nil-tab case. The
else if existing change is behaviour-preserving — that branch is now provably
unreachable given the first matches on the same panelID + resource == id.
No leak: cancellation, discard and expiry all route through
cleanupRecordedMaterialization, which finds the record by resource+panelID and
tears it down. Ownership can't be stolen — panelID is minted fresh inside
materializeBrowserPane, no caller passes reusing:, and every terminal
reservation path uses reuseExisting: false so it never reaches
finishInFlightProject. reused reporting is now truthful, which is the second
half of the reported bug. And both new tests are non-vacuous — run 76602 confirms
they fail without the fix.

Automatic catch-up: main is green again and this branch needed it.

I tried to catch this branch up with main (6f3af0a69ffb), but these files need a person:

  • cmuxTests/CloudPlacementTestProvider.swift: not a generated file; needs a person
  • cmuxTests/CloudWorkspaceLiveProjectionTests.swift: not a generated file; needs a person

Nothing was pushed. Merge main locally, fix those, and push; /catch-up is there again whenever you want it.

Automatic catch-up will not try this head again; a new push or /catch-up does.
