In a custom sidebar, clicking a tab of an ssh-tmux workspace does nothing. tabs[i].surfaceId for those tabs is the mirror container's Bonsplit tab id, and surface.focus rejects it (remoteTmuxControlSurfaceTarget returns .unresolvedMirror). The type's own doc says surfaceId is the id surface.focus accepts, so this breaks the documented contract for mirror tabs only. Fixes #14027.

Summary

  • customSidebarSurfaceSnapshots now reports the container's active projected pane surface (activeRemoteTmuxControlSurfaceProjection(containerPanelID:)) as surfaceId when the tab is a remote tmux container.
  • Every other tab keeps tab.id.uuid, so local sidebars are unchanged.
  • Multi-pane tmux windows resolve to their active pane, matching what the stock sidebar focuses.

Testing

Honest scope of what ran:

  • Not built. I don't have disk space for a full cmux build here, so this is untested in the app and relies on CI. The file passes swiftc -parse.
  • Mechanism verified live on 0.64.25: cmux rpc surface.focus with the projected pane surface id (the ids surface.list reports) focuses the tmux window. With the id the sidebar currently hands out, nothing happens. Side-by-side ids are in this comment.
  • Added test, not executed here. RemoteTmuxMirrorLayoutIdentityTests.customSidebarTabsExposeProjectedSurface reuses the existing session-mirror harness: it builds the sidebar snapshot for a one-pane tmux window and checks that the tab's surfaceId is the projected panel id and resolves to .pane in remoteTmuxControlSurfaceTarget. It fails on main, where surfaceId is the container's tab id. It passes swiftc -parse only; CI is the first real run. Added to an existing file so project.pbxproj is untouched.

Remaining gap

A click from a different workspace still lands on the workspace's previously focused pane, because the workspace restores its focus after the switch. That's a separate focus-restore race, noted in #14027, and not addressed here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed focusing remote tmux panes from the custom sidebar. Sidebar tabs now target the underlying pane rather than an unrecognized container surface.

Custom sidebar tabs for an ssh-tmux workspace carried the mirror
container's tab id as surfaceId, which surface.focus rejects. Report
the container's active projected pane surface instead, so clicking a
tmux window tab in a custom sidebar focuses it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Custom sidebar snapshots now expose the projected pane surface ID for remote tmux mirror tabs. A test verifies that the snapshot’s surface ID differs from its container panel ID and resolves to a pane.

Changes

Custom sidebar focus

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project focusable surface IDs
Sources/Workspace+CustomSidebarSnapshot.swift, cmuxTests/RemoteTmuxMirrorLayoutIdentityTests.swift
Snapshot generation uses the projected surface ID when available and falls back to the tab UUID otherwise. The test checks that a remote tmux tab exposes the projected panel ID and that the surface target resolves to a pane.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: austinywang

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ac030

A remote tmux tab may appear focusable before its pane projection is available, but selecting it will fail. Fail closed for that state before merging, or explicitly accept the bounded gap.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

The production diff adds a call at Sources/Workspace+CustomSidebarSnapshot.swift:139-141 to activeRemoteTmuxControlSurfaceProjection. That method is isolated by the @MainActor extension in Workspace+RemoteTmuxControlTopology.swift:5-6, while Workspace itself and the changed snapshot extension are not @MainActor. This introduces a synchronous nonisolated-to-MainActor call, which produces a Swift 6 actor-isolation diagnostic. The added test is correctly under an @MainActor test suite and is allowed.

Resolution

Mark customSidebarWorkspaceSnapshot and its snapshot helper, or the entire Workspace+CustomSidebarSnapshot extension, @MainActor. Ensure every caller has a MainActor context or performs an explicit MainActor hop before building the snapshot.

**Fail closed for an unprojected mirror container.**

When the active projection is absent, this fallback publishes the mirror container ID. controlSurfaceFocus classifies that ID as .unresolvedMirror and returns .surfaceNotFound, so the sidebar exposes a surface that cannot receive focus. Use the tab ID only for non-mirror tabs, and omit the mirror snapshot until its projected pane exists.

Suggested fix
-                let focusSurfaceId = activeRemoteTmuxControlSurfaceProjection(
-                    containerPanelID: panelId

@teamleaderleo, the snapshot contract supports your approach. CustomSidebarSurfaceSnapshot.surfaceId is optional, and the data-context builder keeps the tab while omitting tabs[i].surfaceId when it is nil. The proposed conditional can therefore retain an unprojected mirror tab without publishing an ID that surface.focus rejects.

I withdraw the part of my suggestion that omitted the tab. The fallback to the container ID remains a minor finding and does not block the merge.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Review status (Leo's maintainer sweep). No push from me.

The branch merges cleanly with main. Only 9 lightweight checks have reported. The macOS build and test lanes have not run for this fork PR, so nothing has compiled Workspace+CustomSidebarSnapshot.swift or run the new test yet.

Review:

  • The fix is right for the reported bug (Custom sidebar: ssh-tmux mirror tabs can't be focused (tab id is the mirror container, surface.focus rejects it) #14027). activeRemoteTmuxControlSurfaceProjection(containerPanelID:) exists on main (Sources/Workspace+RemoteTmuxControlTopology.swift:94), and returning its surfaceID for mirror containers matches the documented tabs[i].surfaceId contract. The new test (RemoteTmuxMirrorLayoutIdentityTests.swift) checks both that the id differs from the container and that remoteTmuxControlSurfaceTarget resolves it to .pane, which is what surface.focus needs.
  • Question: the CustomSidebarSurfaceSnapshot.surfaceId doc says it is the id "surface.focus and the other surface.* verbs accept". For a multi-pane tmux window, a sidebar close or other surface.* action on this tab now targets the active tmux pane, not the window tab. That is probably fine for focus, but please confirm it is intended for close.
  • CodeRabbit's :141 thread (drop the container-id fallback): when a mirror container has no active projection, the fallback tab.id.uuid is exactly the id surface.focus rejects. Returning nil in that case, e.g. isRemoteTmuxControlContainer(panelId) ? activeRemoteTmuxControlSurfaceProjection(containerPanelID: panelId)?.surfaceID : tab.id.uuid, would be more honest than a dead id. It's minor and doesn't block.

Still blocking: a maintainer has to approve and run the macOS CI for this fork PR, and suite-coverage will want full-ci, because cmuxTests/ is touched.

Update: CI runs for this fork are now approved, and unit-ci is added so the app-host unit tests judge the new test in RemoteTmuxMirrorLayoutIdentityTests.

Thank you for identifying the projected-pane mismatch and preparing this fix. I carried that approach forward with co-author attribution in #14284, adding focusable local IDs, an absent target for unprojected mirrors, and the cross-workspace focus-restoration fix reported in the issue. Native tests and a tagged runtime build are underway. This PR remains open for human disposition.
