Summary

With an image on the clipboard, Cmd+V in a terminal saves the image to a temporary file and pastes its path. Claude Code and Codex can attach an image straight from the macOS clipboard when they receive Ctrl+V, the way they work in other terminals, but cmux never sends it.

This adds terminal.agentImagePasteSendsCtrlV, off by default, with a row in Settings > Terminal ("Paste Images into Agents with Ctrl+V"). When it's on, Cmd+V (and Edit > Paste) sends Ctrl+V to the pane instead of pasting a path, but only when all of these hold. Anything else runs the existing paste unchanged:

  • A live Claude Code or Codex is in the pane. This reuses the existing agent detection (WorkspaceContentView.terminalAgentContext + TextBoxAgentDetection) and requires the hook-reported agentPIDKey. A launch command or restored snapshot alone doesn't count, because Ctrl+V sent to a shell after the agent exits would drop the image. TextBoxAgentDetection gains a per-agent matchesActive(context:), next to the existing supportsActiveAgentPrefixes.
  • The agent owns the terminal's foreground. Stale PIDs are pruned first with Workspace.clearStaleAgentPIDs(panelId:) (as the TextBox submit-action cycle does), so an agent killed without an exit hook no longer counts. Then one of the pane's recorded Claude/Codex PIDs must be in the terminal's foreground process group (TerminalSurface.foregroundProcessID(), which is Ghostty's tcgetpgrp). A Ctrl+Z-suspended agent, or one in another tmux window, keeps the temp-path paste instead of sending ^V to the shell or tmux. Limit: a child the agent runs in its own process group, such as its external editor, shares that group and still counts.
  • The clipboard holds only image data. The pasteboard type list (not the data) must include an image type and no text, rich text, URL, file or promised-file type. Clipboards that carry an image and text (for example a browser "Copy Image" with HTML) keep the regular paste.
  • The pane is local (resolvedImageTransferTarget == .local). For cmux ssh, detected SSH and Cloud panes the agent would read another machine's clipboard, so they keep the upload path.
  • The panel isn't hibernated, and the key is delivered. If sendNamedKey("ctrl+v") fails, the regular paste runs.

Ctrl+V goes through TerminalPanel.sendNamedKey, so Ghostty encodes it for the pane's active keyboard mode like any typed key. The checks run in order of cost: the setting first, then agent context, then the pasteboard type list, then target resolution. With the setting off, paste(_:) does one UserDefaults read before its existing code.

Wiring: CmuxSettings catalog key, cmux.json section mapping and supported paths, web/data/cmux.schema.json (plus the regenerated embedded CmuxConfigSchema.generated.swift) with descriptionKey: schemaDescriptions.terminal.agentImagePasteSendsCtrlV, Settings row, curated and app search index entries, and skills/cmux-settings/references/all-keys.md.

Related but separate: #11314 (Cmd+C/Cmd+V routing), #7046 and #5586 (remote image upload paths). This PR changes neither routing nor uploads.

Testing

  • Added cmuxTests/TerminalAgentImagePasteRoutingTests.swift (wired with ./scripts/sync-test-wiring). It checks the decision matrix: setting on or off (off never evaluates the agent, pasteboard or target), live Claude/Codex vs other or exited agents, image-only vs image plus each text, URL or file type, and local vs remote or Cloud targets.
  • Stale and background agents: stalePIDWithoutAnExitHookKeepsTheTempPathPaste, liveAgentOutsideTheForegroundGroupKeepsTheTempPathPaste and liveForegroundAgentInAWorkspaceSendsCtrlV run the workspace-level decision against a real Workspace with recorded PIDs. foregroundCheckMatchesTheAgentsProcessGroup, agentOutsideTheForegroundKeepsTheTempPathPaste and onlyClaudeCodeAndCodexPIDsCountForTheForegroundCheck cover the injected foreground predicate.
  • Added SettingCatalogTests.agentImagePasteSendsCtrlVDefaultsOff and the new row path to SettingsRowAnchorResolutionTests.
  • Ran locally on Linux: python3 scripts/verify-local.py (swift-syntax, xcstrings, localization, project, config-schema, test-wiring, package-groups, feature-flags: 8/8 pass), plus tests/test_cmux_schema_parity.py and tests/test_cmux_settings_supported_paths.py. CI on bd8600e (rebased onto Add terminal.confirmUnsafePaste to confirm unsafe pastes in a window sheet #14951) is green: the app compiled, all of Agent image paste routing (including the six stale-PID and foreground tests above) ran and passed in app-host unit tests (changed suites), and agentImagePasteSendsCtrlVDefaultsOff passed in swift-package-tests.
  • Not dogfooded. A live check needs a tagged build: with the setting on, take a screenshot to the clipboard (Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4), then press Cmd+V in a pane running claude or codex (the image should attach) and in a plain shell pane (a temp path should paste, as before).

Localization audit: four new keys in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings (the row title, the on and off subtitles, and the search alias), each with all nine app locales. scripts/localization_catalog.py check reports 0 parity errors and scripts/lint-xcstrings.py passes. The schema description has a descriptionKey with a translated entry in all 20 web locales (web/messages/*.json), added in ea84ae6 after review. The Korean subtitle uses 분할 창 for panes.

Checklist

  • Behavior changes have added or updated tests, or Testing says why not
  • UI, settings, menu, schema, help-text or user-facing docs change: localization audited, and the result is stated above
  • Docs and changelog updated if needed (settings reference; changelog left to release)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an optional Terminal setting to send Ctrl+V when pasting an image-only clipboard into a running Claude Code or Codex agent in a local pane. It’s off by default; otherwise, image pastes continue to use a temporary-file path.
    • Added support for configuring and searching for this setting.
    • Clipboards containing text, rich text, URLs, or files continue to use regular paste.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the settings reference and configuration schema with the new option and its behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a default-off setting for routing image-only pastes to Ctrl+V in local Claude Code or Codex panes. The paste handler checks agent activity, clipboard types, foreground ownership, and target locality. If routing does not succeed, regular paste continues.

Users in 11 locales may see fallback text for the new setting. Complete those translations before merging, or explicitly accept the limited localization gap.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ea84a

The new behavior is off by default and limited to eligible local agent panes. The review found no established security regression, but configuration authority and a narrow timing gap remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed outcome is bounded to an opt-in paste into a qualifying local terminal pane, where the receiving agent can read the shared clipboard. The evidence does not show a new remote paste entrypoint or a cross-service credential or network change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The route requires an enabled setting, hook-derived active-agent identity, a recorded PID in the foreground process group, eligible advertised clipboard types, and a local target. These checks limit misdelivery but do not establish who may enable the setting through the settings file or make check and delivery atomic.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Stale-PID pruning and failure-path fallback support containment when an agent has exited or key delivery fails. A foreground transition after validation remains an unverified timing case, not an established security finding.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 27.27% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 33 functions across 13 files. (24 skipped: 24 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

The PR adds synchronous per-agent process probes to the Cmd+V action. paste(_:) now calls TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting.shouldSendAgentPasteKey when the setting is enabled. Its @MainActor workspace overload calls clearStaleAgentPIDs(panelId:), which loops recorded agent PIDs and invokes AgentPIDProcessIdentity(pid:); that initializer performs a sysctl(KERN_PROC_PID) per record. The same interactive path then calls getpgid for recorded Claude/Codex PIDs in agentOwnsForeground. These new per-record syscalls run during shortcut/menu paste handling on the main actor. The base revision did not call stale-agent pruning or foreground process-group checks from paste(_:).

Resolution

Remove synchronous stale-PID pruning and per-record process-group probes from the paste action. Use a cached off-main agent/runtime index, such as SharedLiveAgentIndex.shared, or perform liveness and foreground-group checks in a Task.detached/background actor. Return to MainActor only to send Ctrl+V. If the cache is cold or the background result is unavailable, fall back to the existing paste path without blocking the interactive action. Keep the setting-off path free of these checks.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The new paste hot path repeatedly scans and sorts the panel's scalable agent-PID collection. GhosttyNSView+ClipboardActions.swift:42 invokes the new routing decision for every paste. That decision calls WorkspaceContentView.terminalAgentContext at Sources/TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting.swift:70, which sorts all panel agent keys, and then clipboardImageAgentPIDs at line 93 sorts the same keys again. The active-agent check also scans the generated context separately for Claude Code and Codex. This creates repeated O(k log k) sorting and O(k) rescans per paste, with no explicit bound or benchmark. The collection stores process/agent records and is not a documented tiny fixed-size collection.

Resolution

Build one per-panel active-agent snapshot with a single pass over agentPIDKeysByPanelId[panel.id]. Reuse that snapshot for active-agent detection and foreground process-group checks. Avoid calling the sorting terminalAgentContext helper and remove the second .sorted() call. If the snapshot must persist, update a dictionary or Set when agent lifecycle state changes. Otherwise, add a documented small bound and benchmark for this paste path.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The pull request adds Sources/TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting.swift to the app target. Its 167-line TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting type contains deterministic, closure-injected routing policy and independently tested helpers for agent identity, clipboard type classification, and process-group ownership. The app-only Workspace/TerminalPanel/Ghostty integration belongs in GhosttyNSView+ClipboardActions.swift, but the routing policy is not small UI, AppKit, or Ghostty glue. The Xcode diff confirms that the new file is compiled directly into the app target, and no SwiftPM package target contains it.

Resolution

Create a small CmuxTerminalAgentPaste SwiftPM target. Move the reusable routing policy into a public AgentImagePasteRouting type with package-owned value inputs, such as agent-active state, UTI identifier strings, foreground process-group values, and local-target state. Move its pure unit tests into the package test target. Keep the Workspace, TerminalPanel, TerminalSurface, NSPasteboard.general, settings lookup, target resolution, and sendNamedKey composition in the app target, where it can adapt app state to the package API.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds four new app localization keys in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, but each key has translations for only 9 locales. The touched catalog already supports 20 locale codes in the base and head revisions. The entries are missing bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk. The Swift UI uses String(localized:defaultValue:), and the web message key is present for all 20 locales in web/i18n/routing.ts, so the failure is limited to incomplete app catalog coverage.

Resolution

Add translated, non-placeholder values for bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk to all four new keys in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings: settings.terminal.agentImagePasteSendsCtrlV, .subtitleOn, .subtitleOff, and settings.search.alias.setting.terminal.agent-image-paste-ctrl-v.

Cmd+V with an image on the clipboard saves it to a temporary file and
pastes the path. Claude Code and Codex can attach an image straight from
the clipboard when they receive Ctrl+V, which is what users of those
agents expect in other terminals.

`terminal.agentImagePasteSendsCtrlV` (off by default) makes Cmd+V send
Ctrl+V instead, but only when all of these hold; otherwise the existing
paste runs unchanged:

- Claude Code or Codex is live in the pane according to its hooks
  (`agentPIDKey`), not merely launched or restored earlier.
- The clipboard advertises image data and no text, rich text, URL or
  file type. Only the type list is read on the main thread.
- The pane is local. cmux ssh, detected SSH and Cloud panes keep the
  upload path, since the agent there reads another machine's clipboard.
- The panel is not hibernated and the key is delivered.

The setting is wired through the CmuxSettings catalog, cmux.json schema,
Settings > Terminal row, search index and all-keys reference, with
strings in all nine app locales.

The first version trusted the pane's recorded agent PIDs, which can be
stale or belong to an agent that isn't reading the keyboard, so a shell
or tmux could receive a stray ^V.

- Prune stale PIDs with `clearStaleAgentPIDs(panelId:)` before reading
  the agent context, as the TextBox submit-action cycle does. An agent
  killed without an exit hook no longer counts.
- Require one of the pane's recorded Claude Code or Codex PIDs to be in
  the terminal's foreground process group (`foregroundProcessID()`, which
  is Ghostty's tcgetpgrp). A Ctrl+Z-suspended agent, or one in another
  tmux window, keeps the temp-path paste.
- The workspace-level decision moves into `TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting`
  with the foreground group and getpgid injected, so both cases are
  tested against a real Workspace. The setting check still runs first.

Dogfood build of ea84ae68c352e0d4b3979b3bf5ecca7bbca02349

cmux DEV pr-14948-ea84ae68.app

The link opens this exact commit in the cmux dev menu bar app. The build starts on each push and the page waits until it is ready; a newer push replaces it. It signs in against production, so Cloud or backend changes still need a tagged build with a development backend.

Dogfood tours of 54bdee8e

sidebar-and-chrome-tour at 54bdee8e: not run

skipped: CI left no app build for this head (its compile failed or was cancelled)

modifier-clicks-tour at 54bdee8e: not run

skipped: CI left no app build for this head (its compile failed or was cancelled)

Tours are picked by the paths globs in dogfood/scenarios/*.json; a Dogfood-tours: a, b line in the description picks them instead (none turns this off). Look at every frame before merging: a green tour only means no step failed.

Review at bd8600edb1 (subagent, correctness first): merge, with four non-blocking nits.

What was checked:

  • Foreground check. ghostty_surface_foreground_pid is tcgetpgrp, so treating it as a process group is right. A PID that is gone fails closed (group > 0). The pid == pgid shortcut is safe only because the stale-PID prune runs first. The prune checks start time, so it catches PID reuse and rejects zombies.
  • A Claude with a foreground child, such as a Bash tool. A non-interactive child never takes the terminal, so ^V still reaches Claude. A job-control child fails safe to the temp-path paste.
  • Side effects of the prune. They match the existing prompt-idle and TextBox prunes. Hibernated panels are excluded, and nothing runs with the setting off.
  • Setting-off path. It is unchanged apart from one UserDefaults read.
  • Rebase onto Add terminal.confirmUnsafePaste to confirm unsafe pastes in a window sheet #14951. No Add terminal.confirmUnsafePaste to confirm unsafe pastes in a window sheet #14951 line was dropped. The schema check passes, and all 9 locales are present for both settings.
  • CI. All 6 new tests ran by name and passed.

Nits:

  1. Sources/TerminalAgentImagePasteRouting.swift:43-44: the prune runs before the pasteboard check, so every Cmd+V with the setting on prunes, text pastes included. That contradicts the "cheaper checks short-circuit" doc at :29-30. Checking clipboardHoldsOnlyImageData first would fix both.
  2. :21-23 and the commit message say an agent "in another tmux window" keeps the temp-path paste. In fact, an agent anywhere inside tmux never passes the check, because the foreground group is the tmux client's. That fails safe, but the doc understates it.
  3. cmuxTests/TerminalAgentImagePasteRoutingTests.swift:200: getpgid(getpid()) + 1 as the "other" group could collide with the host's own pid. A constant like Int32.max - 1 is robust.
  4. No workspace-level test uses a claude_code key; they all use codex.*. There is also no test that the workspace overload skips the prune when the setting is off.

The head has since moved to ea84ae68c3, a main merge. The PR's own changes are the same four new catalog keys and five schema lines, plus 20 new web/messages/*.json description lines. Resources/Localizable.xcstrings now shows as a 6303/6067-line rewrite against main, although no existing entry changed semantically. It is probably a formatting difference from the merge, and it is worth normalizing before landing so the diff stays reviewable.

This PR adds a setting, so under the fix-vs-feature rule it goes to team review in #13742 rather than merging on green.

CI fast guards failed on 9754f85d19 (https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/actions/runs/36764187900). It does not block the merge; a red guard merged into main breaks it for every open PR.

Run canonical CMUX CI guard profile (red on main too, not this PR)

Main has failed this step since #16150 by @teamleaderleo (self-merged) (#16162). Merge main again once the fix lands there.

Agents: python3 scripts/ci/guard_attribution.py fix applies the mechanical fixes locally. This comment is updated in place on each push.
