Summary

The existing teammate sequence test launches cmux claude-teams --version, which permits a fallback path unavailable to real sessions. Add coverage that starts claude-teams --teammate-mode auto, validates the managed wrapper handoff, restores the shell snapshot PATH, and exercises Claude Code 2.1.280's targeted window discovery and detached teammate split against the production polling limiter.

The test verifies one split, command delivery, preserved leader focus, pane listing, short aliases, and server-directed retries across two fresh launches. It extends an existing test registered in the macOS CLI test catalog.

Related: #13822

The product fixes already merged in #12832 (author: austinywang) and #13608 (author: teamleaderleo). This PR adds missing integration coverage; it changes no application code.

Verification

  • Downloaded release 0.64.25 (b685a275c): the new managed-launch test fails with rate_limited: Polling rate limited for this connection, reproducing the report. A separate short-format probe returns the literal #S:#I.#P.
  • Downloaded nightly (a7c2834): all four sections of test_cli_tmux_compat_targeted_read_budget.py pass, including the new managed-launch test. The production limiter is compiled from this checkout.
  • git diff --check passes.

The Claude process and app socket are deterministic stand-ins in this test. A separate diagnostic used real Claude Code 2.1.280 with a local API stub, but non-interactive mode ran the named agent in-process, so it does not prove teammate pane creation.

Verification now uses CLI/debug sockets only. Build access and publication blockers are resolved: original exact head built successfully in job ad459109dbb1e408e05d94ce. Review follow-up #14070 adds explicit proof that the wrapper ran. Its exact head 75854b3ac6303049c43618516fe2afa8998f37ce built and published successfully in job 456da964d710b165a7db7149 as pr-14070-teammates-v1.

All four polling regression sections passed against that final CLI. Two fresh real-app workspaces on its isolated debug socket passed managed launch, targeted discovery, one detached split, preserved leader focus and actual teammate command output. The Claude process was deterministic. Real Claude Code 2.1.280 reached interactive login, which was not automated; no authenticated real-Claude or visual proof is claimed. No default instance or Computer Use was used for feature verification.

Impact and mergeability

Only the registered polling regression changes. Runtime owners remain the managed launcher, tmux target/format handling, and the existing read-only socket retry policy; no API, persistence, localization, or release behavior changes.

Conflict-only check passed. Base: a93efa59a9d5bee0851339ec4a3682ff620f83f9. Head: 2e84c659d367a8a97e458111edbf825228bb0df4. No conflicted paths.

Pickup: #13822 (comment)


Summary by cubic

Adds integration coverage for real claude-teams --teammate-mode auto launches under the production polling limiter, replacing the existing version-only fallback coverage. The test verifies managed wrapper handoff, PATH restoration, targeted window discovery, detached teammate splitting, command delivery, leader focus, and retry behavior across two fresh launches.

  • Uses deterministic Claude and socket stand-ins without changing application code.
  • Links the coverage to issue #13822.

Written for commit 2e84c65. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The targeted compatibility test now supports subprocess environment overrides. It adds a managed teammate flow that validates launcher environment handling, tmux operations, rate limiting, retries, connection reuse, and detached-pane state.

Changes

Managed teammate integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner environment overrides
tests/test_cli_tmux_compat_targeted_read_budget.py
run accepts extra_env and merges it into the sanitized subprocess environment.
Managed teammate session flow
tests/test_cli_tmux_compat_targeted_read_budget.py
managed_teammate_flow creates Claude and agent shims, validates launcher and tmux behavior, runs two rate-limited sessions, checks retries and connection reuse, and runs from main.

successful execution by exporting a dedicated marker before handing control to
the real agent, and add an assertion in the agent stand-in that this marker is

Make the agent stand-in prove the managed wrapper ran.

The test wrapper checks CMUX_CLAUDE_TEAMS_WRAPPER_LAUNCH, but the agent stand-in does not record that the wrapper handed control to it. If runClaudeTeams bypasses managedClaudeWrapperURL and executes CMUX_CUSTOM_CLAUDE_PATH directly, the agent still satisfies every current assertion, so a launcher regression can pass.

Update managed_teammate_flow so the wrapper records successful execution by
exporting a dedicated marker before handing control to the real agent, and add
an assertion in the agent stand-in that this marker is set. Preserve the
existing launcher argument and tmux assertions while ensuring direct execution
of CMUX_CUSTOM_CLAUDE_PATH cannot satisfy the test.

Reviewed this independently — looks good, merging.

I went in expecting a flaky polling test and came out convinced it isn't one.
The rate limiting is deterministic, not timing-based: ProductionLimiter
drives the real Swift ControlClientRateLimiter through a probe with an
injected virtual clock that starts at 0 and advances only by the advertised
retry_after_ms, and only once the harness observes the client actually waited.
With burst = 9 and a fixed fake topology, which requests get denied is a pure
function of the request sequence. A loaded runner makes this slower, never
differently-behaved. That's the right way to test a limiter rather than papering
over it with sleeps.

The test is also not vacuous, which was my main question. `success(result, PANE

  • "\n" + NEW_PANE)only holds if the stand-in's finaltmux list-panesis reached, which underset -eurequires every preceding check to pass.split_count == 1requires a realsurface.splitRPC with a matchingsurface_idor the fixture raises. And the managed-shim path is genuinely load-bearing —claudeTeamsManagedShimRootdemands an exactcmux-cli-shims/layout, owner-matched non-symlink dirs withpermissions & 0o022 == 0, and a non-symlink executable at /claude. Miss any of it and createClaudeTeamsShimPlan**throws**; take the fallback directory andmanaged/tmuxnever exists socommand -v tmux` fails. It can't silently
    take the wrong path.

The #S:#I.#P assertion is a real regression canary rather than a restatement of
the fixture, since 0.64.25 returns that format string literally while nightly
expands it. And you have empirical failure evidence — red on 0.64.25 with
rate_limited, green on nightly — which is exactly the demonstration I'd
otherwise have asked for.

Nothing hangs: no sleep in the test (-- sleep 20 is just a string asserted as
send_text), daemon_threads with a bounded join, and every CLI call under
subprocess.run(timeout=30). Fresh state per iteration — new Server, new
FakeCmuxState, fresh 9-token buckets and virtual clocks — and extra_env
doesn't leak into the later flows that omit it.

One follow-up, not a blocker: this new flow is the tightest wall-clock budget
in the file. run()'s timeout only sets CMUXTERM_CLI_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_SEC;
the process-level subprocess.run(timeout=30) is a hardcoded literal callers
can't raise. Every other flow spends that 30s on one cmux invocation, while
managed_teammate_flow spends it on the launcher plus six nested
__tmux-compat process launches
— each execs a separate cmux binary — plus
backoff sleeps. Roughly 6–10x headroom normally, but it's the first place this
suite would go flaky under severe contention. Parameterising that timeout would
close it cheaply.

Minor framing: the title says "real Claude Teams" and the summary says it
replaces the --version fallback coverage. Nothing is removed —
test_cli_claude_teams_fallback_path.py still covers that — and the claude
wrapper is a 3-line stub, so this proves cmux execs it with the right env
rather than exercising the real wrapper. Your PR body is admirably clear about
this ("deterministic stand-ins", interactive verification marked UNVERIFIED), so
it's a title nit, not a misrepresentation.

I couldn't execute it here — needs macOS and a built CLI — so this is a static
trace plus the Python-only harness tests.
