Fixes #13499.

A grouped member dragged above its anchor can stay painted at a position the host refused. The socket now distinguishes refused in-range placements from successful no-ops, and the JS renderer releases its local order and indentation preview when the drop animation finishes, even when host data never changes. A reactive resetVersion option lets custom sidebars explicitly reconcile without replacing row keys. Sidebar-owned optimistic item overrides must still be cleared by the sidebar.

Refused index and relative requests return rejected in both normal and dry-run modes. Out-of-range requests and clamps that still move a row retain their previous behavior. The error is localized in all nine required macOS locales; socket payload semantics and the renderer reset are documented. No iOS behavior changes or relay allowlist changes.

Validation: the renderer regression failed with three expectations before the fix; the constrained out-of-range regression failed with two. After repair, 19 SidebarJSRuntimeTests, 47 WorkspaceCoordinatorTests, and 15 ControlWorkspaceReorderTargetTests pass. A real TerminalController grouped-member regression is wired into cmuxTests; app-host test execution remains pending. Localization check: eight catalogs, nine locales, zero parity errors.

Exact pushed SHA a18b05dd6ba8d30465a0231bd903a403cc8135ec built and launched as 13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile. Eight real socket refusal cases, unchanged authoritative snapshots/membership, legal moves, normalized indices, and same-index no-ops passed; the temporary JS Reorderable validated and opened. Every mutation checked the isolated socket identity. The test window and dev app were closed. Receipts and runtime evidence.

Dogfood pending: CLI read-text does not support custom sidebar panels, so visual rejected-drop rollback is not claimed verified. Current-SHA CI is still pending. Workspace is orange, not green.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workspace reorder now identifies placements that are refused because their requested slot clamps to the current position. The control path returns a rejected resolution without applying a mutation, and the workspace command reports a rejected error with placement details. The sidebar renderer can reset optimistic order and preview state.

Changes

Workspace reorder refusal and sidebar reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect refused placements
Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/.../WorkspaceReorderCoordinator.swift, Sources/TabManager.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Tests/.../WorkspaceCoordinatorTests.swift
The reorder coordinator adds refusal queries for index and before/after placements. TabManager forwards the queries. Tests cover grouped and pinned placements, unchanged positions, out-of-range indices, and unknown workspace IDs.
Return and serialize refused placements
Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/.../ControlWorkspaceReorderResolution.swift, Sources/TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceContext.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/.../ControlCommandCoordinator+Workspace.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/.../ControlWorkspaceStrings.swift, Sources/TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceStrings.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Tests/.../ControlWorkspaceReorderTargetTests.swift, cmuxTests/WorkspaceReorderRefusalTests.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, docs/events.md
controlReorderWorkspace returns a rejected resolution without applying a mutation when placement is refused. The workspace command returns a rejected error with placement details and a localized message. Tests and documentation cover the response.
Reconcile sidebar drag state
Packages/macOS/CmuxSwiftRenderUI/Sources/.../ReorderDragModel.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxSwiftRenderUI/Sources/.../ReorderableColumnView.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxSwiftRenderUI/Tests/.../SidebarJSRuntimeTests.swift, docs/custom-sidebars.md
ReorderDragModel owns optimistic order and drag state. ReorderableColumnView clears that state after settlement or when resetVersion changes. Tests cover refused and accepted drops and resetVersion without row remounts. The documentation describes reset and item reconciliation.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 30.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 30 functions across 13 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The new user-facing key socket.workspace.reorder.rejected is incomplete. Resources/Localizable.xcstrings adds translations for only 9 locales (en, ar, de, es, fr, ja, ko, zh-Hans, zh-Hant), while the touched catalog and neighboring socket.workspace.* keys support 20 locales. Entries are missing for bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk. The new API-response fallback in ControlCommandCoordinator+Workspace.swift also embeds the English user-facing text directly instead of using the localized API.

Resolution

Update Resources/Localizable.xcstrings with translated socket.workspace.reorder.rejected values for bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, and uk. Replace the direct fallback string in ControlCommandCoordinator+Workspace.swift with the localized API or an already localized value.

Reviewed this independently (I have no changes of my own in it). The direction is
right and the dry-run refactor is clean — but I think the new branch can't
actually be reached, so #13499 stays open.

.rejected is unreachable

let applied = dryRun || tabManager.reorderWorkspace(tabId: workspaceID, toIndex: plan.toIndex)

reorderWorkspace (WorkspaceReorderCoordinator.swift:109-166) has exactly two
return false sites on this call shape (isDragOperation: false,
explicitGroupId: nil):

  • :117 requires a non-nil explicitGroupId — unreachable here.
  • :125 returns false when workspaceReorderPlan(tabId:toIndex:) is nil.

But controlReorderWorkspace already called that same planner on the same
TabManager, synchronously with no suspension point in between
(TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceContext.swift:149-159), and returned
.notFound if it was nil. Every other path returns true (:139, :143,
:152, :166). So applied is always true.

The deeper reason: a refusal here is a clamp, not a false

This is the part I'd want to flag most, because it changes what the fix should
look like. clampedReorderIndex (WorkspacesModel+Ordering.swift:297) and
clampedGroupedMemberReorderIndex (:317) silently pull the requested index
into the legal range and report success.

The reporter's exact case in #13499 — dropping a grouped workspace above its
group's anchor — goes through clampedGroupedMemberReorderIndex, which clamps
toIndex to firstIndex + 1, yielding fromIndex == toIndex and return true
at :143. A refusal never surfaces as a Bool anywhere.

The signal you want is already in hand: the caller-supplied index vs. the
returned to_index
(equivalently from_index == to_index). Comparing the
requested toIndex against plan.toIndex in the coordinator would close #13499
for real.

Worth knowing before that lands

Once the detection works, the .err would be a breaking change for callers
that currently get .ok on a clamp: CLI/cmux.swift:9719 (cmux workspace reorder starts exiting non-zero), tests_v2/cmux.py:512 (raises on err), and
rpc automations on workspace.reorder (docs/automations.md:29).
scripts/stress-cli-socket-api.py tolerates it.

And the consumer the issue is actually about wouldn't benefit either way: the
custom-sidebar Reorderable dispatches fire-and-forget and discards the result
(ReorderableList.swift:36-40), as does the JS lane. Undoing the optimistic
paint needs item 2 of the issue's proposal (a re-sync token), which isn't in
scope here.

Smaller: case .rejected(_, let plan) drops the windowID, so the payload omits
window_id/window_ref unlike its siblings, making the enum's associated value
dead. "rejected" is a novel error code (existing ones are invalid_params,
not_found, unavailable, invalid_state, …) with no docs update.

Verified clean

The || short-circuit is correct — dryRun == true skips the call entirely,
behaviorally identical to the old if !dryRun. Only one production conformance
of controlReorderWorkspace exists, so the new enum case breaks no exhaustive
switch. plan.toIndex is already clamped by the planner, so the re-clamp inside
reorderWorkspace is idempotent and the reported to_index always matches
where the row lands.

One caveat on the green tick: macos / app-host unit tests shows skipping
here, and TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceContext.swift is app-host code —
so the file carrying the logic change is compile-verified only.

Happy to push the clamp-comparison version to your branch if you'd rather not
redo it — just say the word.

A workspace.reorder request that the pin-tier or group-section clamp turns
into "stay put" (dropping a grouped member above its anchor, #13499) is a
refused placement, but reorderWorkspace returns true for it, so the
rejected branch in controlReorderWorkspace is never reached. These tests
pin the refusal predicate the controller needs, including the cases that
must stay successful: a clamp that still moves the row, and range
normalization of an out-of-bounds index.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
reorderWorkspace returns true when the pin-tier or group-section clamp
resolves a request to "stay put", so the rejected branch keyed on its
result could never fire and #13499's case (a grouped member dropped above
its anchor) still answered ok. controlReorderWorkspace now asks the reorder
coordinator whether the placement is refused, returns .rejected before
applying (a refused plan is a no-op), and reports the same refusal for dry
runs. The rejected payload now carries window and workspace refs, dry_run,
and requested_index alongside from/to, matching the ok result's fields.

A clamp that still moves the row, and an out-of-range index clamped to the
ends, stay successful, so ordinary `cmux workspace reorder` calls keep
their exit status.

Re-reviewed at 491f96d, confirmed the earlier finding, and pushed a fix as two commits on this branch: 27fa499e3e (test) and 8ade81fa67 (fix). This branch had no activity since 11:16 UTC. Revert them if you want to take it another way.

The .rejected branch at 491f96d was unreachable

controlReorderWorkspace (Sources/TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceContext.swift) builds the plan with tabManager.workspaceReorderPlan(...) and returns .notFound if it is nil. It then calls tabManager.reorderWorkspace(tabId:toIndex: plan.toIndex) synchronously. That forwards to WorkspaceReorderCoordinator.reorderWorkspace with isDragOperation: false and explicitGroupId: nil. Its only return false sites are the unknown explicitGroupId check, which can't happen with nil, and a nil re-plan, which can't happen because the same planner just returned non-nil on the same state. Every other path returns true. So applied was always true.

The refusal in #13499 is a clamp, not a false. A grouped member dropped above its anchor goes through clampedGroupedMemberReorderIndex (WorkspacesModel+Ordering.swift), which pulls toIndex to firstIndex + 1. That equals fromIndex, and reorderWorkspace returns true at the plan.fromIndex == plan.toIndex early exit.

What the fix does

  • New predicate. WorkspaceReorderCoordinator.isRefusedWorkspacePlacement(tabId:toIndex:), plus a before/after form. A placement is refused when the caller asked for an in-range slot other than the current one and the pin-tier or group clamp resolves the plan to staying put.
    • Out-of-range indices are normalized first, so index: 99 on the last row is not a refusal.
    • A clamp that still moves the row is not a refusal. For example, an unpinned row at index 3 asking for index 0 below two pins moves to index 2 and stays ok.
  • Controller. controlReorderWorkspace checks the predicate before applying and returns .rejected without mutating. A refused plan is a no-op, so skipping the apply changes nothing. Dry runs now report the same refusal instead of ok. That is a change from the PR description ("Dry-run reorders remain successful"), made so a sidebar can preview a refusal.
  • Payload. The rejected error data now includes workspace_ref, window_id, window_ref, dry_run and requested_index (index form only), alongside from_index/to_index. Before, case .rejected(_, let plan) discarded the window id.
  • The before/after target computation moved into a private relativeReorderTargetIndex so the plan and the predicate share one implementation.

Behaviour change to call out

cmux reorder-workspace, tests_v2 callers and workspace.reorder automations now get an error instead of ok for a refused no-op placement. That is what #13499 asks for. Partial clamps and out-of-range indices keep their current ok result, so the break is limited to requests that previously did nothing and reported success. I found no test in tests_v2/ or tests/ that relies on an ok result for such a request, but I did not run those suites.

Verification

  • Package tests don't run in CI. CmuxWorkspaces is not in the swift-package-tests package list in ci-macos.yml, so CI cannot show the new tests red and then green. I ran them on a Mac instead (Xcode 27, swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces --filter WorkspaceCoordinatorTests):
    • At 27fa499e3e (test only): fails to compile, value of type 'WorkspaceReorderCoordinator<CoordinatorStubTab>' has no member 'isRefusedWorkspacePlacement'. The predicate is new API, so the red state is a compile failure, not an assertion failure.
    • At 8ade81fa67: 47 tests in the suite pass, including the three new ones. They cover the group-anchor refusal (index and before: forms), the pin-tier refusal, a partial clamp that still moves the row, a no-op request, out-of-range indices and an unknown workspace.
  • swift build --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket succeeds on the same Mac.
  • Update: I also pushed 1c459d238d, which merges main, and c96c79460a, a test.
    • Why the merge. The PR's merge-base, 4849743, predates the trusted Web complexity scripts. The required Web complexity check reads its policy from pull_request.base.sha and failed with [[ -f trusted/scripts/ci/scope-web-complexity.py ]] on the first push. The merge applied cleanly.
    • The test. ControlWorkspaceReorderTargetTests.refusedPlacementReportsRejectedWithPlan pins the rejected payload fields for both dry-run values. It lives in CmuxControlSocket, which CI's package lane does run.
    • Mac re-run on the merged head: 47/47 WorkspaceCoordinatorTests and 4/4 ControlWorkspaceReorderTargetTests pass.
  • The app-target files, TerminalController+ControlWorkspaceContext.swift and TabManager.swift, were only parse-checked by me. The macOS compile admission check will type-check them. App-host tests are skipped for this PR, so no test exercises the controller end to end.

Still open

  • The sidebar's drawn order. The consumer in the report still would not re-sync. ReorderableList dispatches workspace.reorder fire-and-forget and ignores the result, so the optimistic paint stays. That is item 2 of the issue's proposal, a re-sync token or reset. The PR body says Fixes #13499, and merging would close the issue with the reported symptom still present. I'd change it to Refs #13499.
  • rejected is a new error code with no docs entry. docs/events.md documents the ok result shape only.

Dogfood: in a tagged build, group two workspaces, then run cmux reorder-workspace --workspace <grouped member> --index <anchor index>. It should exit non-zero with rejected, and cmux list-workspaces should show the order unchanged. Also check that --index 999 on the last row still succeeds.

The socket coordinator turns a refused placement into a `rejected` error
carrying the workspace and window ids and refs, from/to indexes, the
requested index, and dry_run. CmuxControlSocket runs in CI's Swift
package lane, unlike CmuxWorkspaces, so this pins the payload where CI
executes it.

Runtime reproduction now confirmed in the isolated diagnostic build at 491f96dcae3c88aa1fcb7930176aa27cd743caf3 (fleet job a02e57c018dbe073eb6680fb, archive SHA-256 78b6d5b1cccd0e6791d2e71d52ca5f415d710e2c52c8315fad52185dfd7a8b6d).

Using only /tmp/cmux-debug-13499-rejected-drop-reset.sock, with system.identify before every mutation, the runtime harness reproduced eight workspace.reorder requests that returned success while leaving authoritative order unchanged: index/before-anchor group refusals and pinned/unpinned boundary refusals, each with and without dry_run. Legal relative reorder, out-of-range normalization, and same-index no-op remained successful. The bounded test window and diagnostic app were closed afterward.

Final-head runtime verification is pending, not inferred from the diagnostic artifact or package tests. The exact pushed SHA is a2d84268a62ce27bb9a1d5fabe926ee8a54dd4f6, tag 13499-sidebar-drop-reconcile. Backend disk admission has recovered; the current submission has provisioned its backend and is waiting for readiness. No duplicate job was submitted.

The existing debug.sidebar.simulate_drag drives native sidebar state, not the custom JavaScript Reorderable renderer. Socket verification can establish the refusal response and authoritative state; it cannot establish the remaining visual preview rollback assertion. No Computer Use was used.

Exact-head CLI runtime verification completed on a18b05dd6ba8d30465a0231bd903a403cc8135ec after a clean merge of current origin/main. PR remains open and mergeable; no merge performed.

Build: http://127.0.0.1:17320/13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile
Fleet job: c7e3ea40193a83524ac9eace, worker cmux9s-Mac-mini.local.
Archive SHA-256: 420cba91c49b70f94eed134373d52c7e9c5c569ae6b1f604d9cac86eccfebf5b.
Both submission and terminal receipts are retained under artifacts/fleet/a18b05dd6ba8d30465a0231bd903a403cc8135ec-{submit,terminal}.json. Receipt: 993 seconds total, 975 seconds build, upload complete, disk 226.77→220.40 GiB, cleanup evidence retained.

The restored app's Info.plist confirmed CMUXCommit=a18b05dd6 and bundle com.cmuxterm.app.debug.13499.sidebar.refusal.reconcile. Every mutation was preceded by system.identify asserting /tmp/cmux-debug-13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile.sock. All feature verification targeted that isolated socket.

Command: python3 artifacts/13499/verify_reorder.py --tag 13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile --mode fixed --custom-sidebar --log artifacts/13499/merged-runtime.jsonl.

Result: PASS. Eight refused workspace.reorder placements returned rejected: index/before-anchor group constraints and pinned/unpinned constraints, with and without dry_run. workspace.list, workspace.group.list, and extension.sidebar.snapshot confirmed unchanged authoritative order/membership after refusals. Legal relative movement, negative/oversized index normalization, and same-index no-ops passed. The older diagnostic artifact reproduced those eight requests returning success without moving.

sidebar.custom.validate accepted a temporary JS Reorderable with reactive resetVersion; sidebar.custom.open opened it in the bounded test window. surface.read_text returned invalid_params: Surface is not a terminal for that panel. The available debug.sidebar.simulate_drag targets the native sidebar, so it cannot prove custom JS Reorderable painting. No Computer Use was used. The test window, temporary fixture, and identified dev process were closed after evidence.

Dogfood pending / orange: please drag a grouped workspace above its group anchor in the custom JS sidebar and confirm the preview returns to authoritative order after settling, including same-membership resetVersion. This is the narrow visual assertion the CLI cannot observe. Runtime socket behavior is verified; visual rollback is not claimed verified. All three actionable review threads are resolved. Current-SHA CI workflow 35942741853 is still pending, so full CI completion is not claimed.

Residual risk: sidebar-owned optimistic item overrides still need clearing by the sidebar author; late accepted host updates can briefly show authoritative old order before the accepted update arrives. Localization audit passed all nine required macOS locales; no web strings changed.

Repeated exact-head runtime verification at the user’s request on a18b05dd6ba8d30465a0231bd903a403cc8135ec, tag 13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile.

This run kept a real JS Reorderable panel mounted during the refused requests and waited 2.2 seconds after group refusals, covering clock-driven resetVersion updates and settlement time before asserting snapshots. Result: PASS, eight rejected placements, legal reorder, normalized indices, same-index no-ops, unchanged membership and matching authoritative sidebar/workspace snapshots. The log contains 25 identity checks and eight rejected responses. All feature commands used /tmp/cmux-debug-13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile.sock.

Command: python3 artifacts/13499/verify_mounted_reorder.py --tag 13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile --mode fixed --custom-sidebar --log artifacts/13499/mounted-runtime.jsonl.

The custom panel still returns invalid_params: Surface is not a terminal from surface.read_text. No available debug command exposes its painted row positions or drives its pointer gesture; the native-sidebar simulate_drag command is a different renderer. Therefore this verifies live API/state behavior with the custom sidebar mounted, not the remaining visual assertion. No Computer Use was used. The test window, temporary fixture and identified tagged process were closed.

Current SHA's compile admission, Swift package, and CLI pipe CI checks are queued. Workspace remains orange. Build: http://127.0.0.1:17320/13499-sidebar-refusal-reconcile
