fix(ssh): report OpenSSH failures from cmux ssh instead of a Cloud VM error

[austinywang]

On nightly, cmux ssh cmux@cmuxs-macbook-pro printed "The Cloud VM request failed…" or hung, where 0.64.25 asked for the password and opened the workspace. The headless cmux-tui carrier can't answer a prompt, and it retries every OpenSSH exit 255, a refused login included, until its 180 s startup deadline. The socket layer then reported that as the generic Cloud VM error.

Now cmux ssh behaves like ssh again:

• Login needed. An explicit open first runs a prompt-free ssh -T -o BatchMode=yes … true over the carrier's own options, agent and ControlPath. If an interactive login would help (password, keyboard-interactive, unknown host key, key passphrase) or the route stalls before authenticating, the app returns auth_required. The CLI then runs OpenSSH in the foreground, so the prompt appears in your terminal, and retries through the ControlMaster that login opened.
• Host fails. Any other failure comes back in seconds as ssh_failed with OpenSSH's own text, e.g. ssh_failed: ssh: connect to host example port 22: Connection refused.
• Open and restore at the same time. Only opens wait on the check. Running cmux ssh again while a restore's carrier retries still fails at once, and a restore that arrives while an open is checking starts or joins the carrier on its own, so it never inherits the open's failure. If that carrier logs in before the check finishes, the open uses it instead of reporting the check's failure.
• Two opens at once. Concurrent opens of the same route share one check, so a confirm-each-use agent or a password prompt is asked once, not once per open.
• Persistence. Restores and reconnects skip the check. The carrier runs with BatchMode=yes, RequestTTY=no and RemoteCommand=none and keeps unlimited reconnects, so a restored or dropped workspace waits for a host or agent that comes back. The first revision of this PR capped reconnects. Those caps apply to the carrier's whole lifetime and would have ended persistence after the first network drop, so they're gone.

The check spends from a new carrier's existing 180 s startup budget, so the socket and CLI deadlines are unchanged. Plain ssh paths are untouched. One edge: an open that joins a carrier a restore started during its check waits up to the check's time plus that carrier's 180 s, about 10 s past the CLI's 200 s timeout in the worst case.

A restored workspace on a password-only host still can't prompt through the batch carrier, same as before this PR; run cmux ssh host again to log in.

Validation

Focused command on each commit, same DerivedData:

./scripts/test-unit.sh -derivedDataPath "$DD" build-for-testing
./scripts/test-unit.sh -derivedDataPath "$DD" test-without-building \
  -only-testing:cmuxTests/SSHTuiMigrationTests -only-testing:cmuxTests/SSHTuiOpenTests \
  -only-testing:cmuxTests/SSHTuiPreflightTests

• Regression 311797d0c1: the 5 new checks fail (22 tests in 2 suites; SSHTuiPreflightTests arrives with the fix). The carrier lacks BatchMode=yes. A refused login, an unreachable host, and an open joining a restore each still wait after 20 s. An open never checks the route before a restore joins it.
• Fix 9ff901736e: 29 tests in 3 suites passed.
• SSHTuiOpenTests.restoreDuringAnOpensCheckStartsTheCarrier against an earlier link manager (bf54cab9b6), which ran the check inside the shared carrier task: fails after 20 s because the restore never starts its carrier. The other 3 open tests pass there.
• Regression c344ce9929: 2 of 31 tests fail. Two concurrent opens ran two checks (checks → 2), and an open reported "Permission denied" after a restore's carrier had connected. The restore test now holds the open's check on a release file until the restore's carrier starts, and passes.
• Fix 39e2c3a1ec: 31 tests in 3 suites passed. SSHTuiOpenTests passed 3 more runs in a row.

The open and restore tests use real /usr/bin/ssh through a ProxyCommand that refuses or can't connect, and a stand-in carrier that records whether it started. python3 scripts/verify-local.py passed 7/7 selected checks.

Dogfood with the tag-bound CLI against the tagged build of 39e2c3a1ec:

• cmux ssh cmux@cmuxs-macbook-pro (a password-only host) reaches the interactive login step in 0.7 s. Nightly printed the Cloud VM error or hung.
• cmux ssh nobody@127.0.0.1 --port 1 fails in 0.6 s with ssh_failed: ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 1: Connection refused.
• cmux ssh nobody@no-such-host.invalid fails in 0.5 s with OpenSSH's resolve error.

Not dogfooded: typing the password at the prompt, a successful open, and a restore after relaunch. The only reachable test host is password-only, and I didn't enter its password.

Follow-ups

• cmux-tui: make an authentication failure (exit 255 with "Permission denied") non-retryable in the carrier, so a restore of a refused login stops early instead of retrying to its deadline.
• One SSH provider is cached per machine ID, so a later cmux ssh to the same host reuses the first open's -o options and agent socket. This predates this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • SSH workspace opens now check the connection route before starting a remote session, helping surface connection problems sooner.
  • When an SSH check fails, the error includes diagnostic details. Interactive login is offered when retrying with authentication may help.
  • Concurrent opens can share a connection check, and an open can use a carrier that connects while the check is running.
• Bug Fixes
  • Restoring a session continues without the new preflight check, and disconnecting cancels any pending check.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Explicit SSH workspace opens now run a prompt-free preflight before starting the headless carrier. Preflight errors include diagnostic details, and selected failures can request interactive login. Restores can connect without preflight.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 39e2c

Default password-login opens can reuse the authenticated SSH connection. Password-only hosts configured to disable connection persistence may still fail on retry; those configurations need an override or follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 39e2c

The new login check preserves OpenSSH authentication and host verification, and the reviewed paths do not show a new authentication bypass. Cancellation and credential-context reuse still warrant validation.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed checks act on a user's configured SSH destination and credentials through the application-to-OpenSSH boundary; the cited public-entrypoint ranges are test fixtures rather than an additional runtime entrypoint.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Preflight uses BatchMode=yes, while the returned interactive-login arguments use BatchMode=no. Neither path substitutes an application authentication decision for OpenSSH's own authentication and host verification.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The pre-existing provider identity rule can reuse an earlier SSH agent or control-path context for a later open. The PR adds preflight to that reused link but does not establish a new exposure or resolve cancellation of its underlying command.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Validate provider reuse when agent or control-path settings change, and verify that cancelling preflight terminates its command before a later open can join a stale check.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

SSHTuiPreflight.run() is new async SSH/process work without @concurrent or nonisolated. openSSHTuiWorkspace is @MainActor and calls the SSHTuiLinkManager actor, which creates an inherited Task that runs this preflight. Under NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault, the preflight can remain on the caller actor instead of leaving it. Comparable network helpers in the same CmuxCloud package use @concurrent and nonisolated.

Resolution

Annotate SSHTuiPreflight.run() as nonisolated with @concurrent, using the repository’s compiler guard and @Sendable fallback where required. Keep the method limited to its Sendable connection and command-runner dependencies, or move the SSH process execution into a dedicated worker/actor boundary.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The pull request materially expands SSH domain logic in the app target. Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLinkManager.swift adds the shared preflight task, carrier deadline, cancellation, and concurrent-open state machine. The actor uses only package types, Foundation, and an injected enablement closure, so it is independently testable without AppKit or app lifecycle state. cmuxTests/SSHTuiOpenTests.swift directly tests this manager with a fake carrier. Sources/RemoteTui/TerminalController+SSHTui.swift also adds authentication-retry classification in sshTuiNeedsInteractiveLogin, and the preflight tests call that policy directly. The Xcode project places both files in the application target. The new SSHTuiPreflight and SSHTuiPreflightError are correctly behind the CmuxCloud SwiftPM target, but the diff leaves the reusable coordination and authentication policy in Sources/.

Resolution

Create a small CmuxRemoteTui SwiftPM package target. Move the SSH carrier coordination state machine from SSHTuiLinkManager and its minimal link protocol into that target, with SSHTuiLinkManaging or SSHTuiLinkManager as the first public API. Move the prompt-retry decision into a package value or policy such as SSHTuiInteractiveLoginPolicy, including the minimal stderr predicate it needs. Keep TerminalController.openSSHTuiWorkspace, SSHTuiOpenFailure, workspace/catalog mutations, and v2Error mapping in the app target as composition and transport glue. Add the focused manager and policy tests to the package test target.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The change exposes raw OpenSSH diagnostics to cmux users. SSHTuiPreflightError.errorDescription returns the last eight lines of stderr, and sshTuiOpenFailure places that text in SSHTuiOpenFailure.reason. TerminalController.v2VmCall then returns it as the ssh_failed API error message. The concrete user path is CLI/CMUXCLI+SSHTui.swift calling workspace.ssh.open; SocketClient+V2.swift reads the API error message and formats it for CLI output. Added tests explicitly require messages such as Permission denied (publickey,password) and Connection refused. The rule forbids raw upstream error messages in user-facing output.

Resolution

Do not forward OpenSSH or carrier stderr to the API or CLI. Map preflight and carrier failures to sanitized cmux messages with safe next actions, such as a generic connection failure, authentication-required result, or timeout message. Keep the full stderr only in sanitized internal logs or telemetry. Also avoid exposing raw launch-error details from launchFailed; use a generic launch-failure message instead. Update the affected tests to assert that upstream stderr is absent from user-facing responses.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds three user-facing Swift localization keys in SSHTuiPreflightError.errorDescription and adds them to Resources/Localizable.xcstrings. Each entry has translations for only 9 locales (en, de, fr, ar, es, zh-Hant, zh-Hans, ko, ja), but the touched catalog already supports 20 locales, including bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk. This violates the rule requiring every new catalog key to include translated entries for every existing locale.

Resolution

Add translated, non-placeholder values for cloud.link.sshPreflight.failed, cloud.link.sshPreflight.timedOut, and cloud.link.sshPreflight.launchFailed for the 11 missing locales (bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk) in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings. Preserve the %@ placeholder in every launchFailed translation.

Merging 39e2c3a1ec on the merge directive. CI passed on this head, and the changed-suites app-host job ran SSH open and restore, SSH preflight and SSH cmux-tui migration (430 tests, 0 failures).

The last fix (39e2c3a1ec, concurrent opens share one route check) is tightly scoped. I rebuilt the tag on it and re-ran the dogfood above: the password-only host reaches the login step, and a refused port and an unknown host fail in under a second with OpenSSH's text.

Not verified: typing the password at the prompt, a successful open end to end, and a restore after relaunch. The only reachable test host is password-only, and I didn't enter its password.
