Summary

Ghostty's clipboard-paste-protection flags a paste that could run commands on its own, such as text with a line break going to a program that hasn't enabled bracketed paste, and asks the host to confirm it. cmux has always approved that request without asking, so the protection never showed anything.

This adds terminal.confirmUnsafePaste, off by default. With it off, behavior is exactly as before. With it on:

  • A paste Ghostty flags as unsafe opens a sheet attached to the terminal's window (not an app-modal dialog) with a short explanation and a bounded preview of the text (8 lines, 160 characters per line).
  • Paste completes the request as confirmed. Cancel completes it with no text, so libghostty still releases the request and nothing is pasted.
  • OSC 52 clipboard reads, which arrive through the same Ghostty confirmation callback, keep being approved. The setting only covers pastes.
  • If the view has no window to attach a sheet to, the paste is refused with a beep instead of being pasted unasked: the user asked to be asked.

terminal.paste / cmux paste are not affected; they use ghostty_surface_text, which never asks for confirmation.

Request lifetime while the sheet is open

Ghostty calls the confirmation callback synchronously from inside ghostty_surface_complete_clipboard_request, after cmux has already consumed its registration for the request. To keep the async answer safe, the sheet registers the request again with GhosttySurfaceCallbackContext for its lifetime:

  • Runtime teardown invalidates it like any other pending read: it closes the sheet, completes the native request with empty text before the surface is freed, and cancels the input sequencer entry.
  • The sheet's answer first claims the registration with completeRuntimeClipboardRequest; if teardown or an input-overflow cancellation got there first, the answer does nothing. The native request is completed exactly once either way.
  • The input sequencer already models a request that needs confirmation (initial completion plus confirmed completion), so input deferred behind the paste is replayed after the answer, in order.

Wiring

TerminalCatalogSection.confirmUnsafePaste, the cmux.json mapping and supported paths, web/data/cmux.schema.json (embedded schema regenerated), a Settings > Terminal toggle, settings search, the curated settings entry and row-anchor test list, and skills/cmux-settings/references/all-keys.md. The decision and preview logic is a pure type, TerminalUnsafePasteConfirmationPolicy in CmuxTerminalCore.

Testing

  • python3 tests/test_cmux_schema_parity.py, tests/test_cmux_settings_supported_paths.py, tests/test_settings_configuration_review_paths.py and tests/test_cmux_settings_jsonc.py pass locally.
  • Added TerminalUnsafePasteConfirmationPolicyTests (CmuxTerminalCore): off approves, on asks with a window and rejects without one, OSC 52 reads stay approved, and the preview bounds lines and line length and normalizes CRLF. The policy file and an equivalent check compiled and passed with Swift 6.1 on Linux in both Swift 5 and 6 language modes; on 12b36e2 CI ran TerminalUnsafePasteConfirmationPolicyTests in swift-package-tests and it passed.
  • Added SettingCatalogTests.unsafePasteConfirmationDefaultsOff, and the new path is in SettingsRowAnchorResolutionTests.
  • The AppKit sheet path was prepared on Linux: swiftc -parse passes on the touched app files, and CI's macOS compile admission compiled it on 12b36e2 (all checks green), but it has not been dogfooded in a tagged build. The sheet flow (Paste, Cancel, closing the pane while the sheet is open) still needs a tagged-build check.

Localization audit: seven new keys, all with translations in the nine app locales (en, de, fr, ar, es, zh-Hant, zh-Hans, ko, ja): the Settings title and on/off subtitles, the search alias, and the sheet's title, message and Paste button. Cancel reuses common.cancel. python3 scripts/localization_catalog.py check reports 0 parity errors and scripts/lint-xcstrings.py passes. The schema description is English, like the neighboring terminal keys; no web messages changed.

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

Summary by cubic

Adds terminal.confirmUnsafePaste, off by default, so pastes Ghostty flags as unsafe can ask for confirmation in a sheet instead of being approved silently. Previously cmux always approved Ghostty's confirmation requests without asking, so clipboard-paste-protection never surfaced.

When the setting is on, an unsafe paste opens a sheet on the terminal's window with a short explanation and a bounded preview (8 lines, 160 characters per line). Paste completes the paste; Cancel completes it with no text. OSC 52 clipboard reads stay approved, and if the view has no window (or the sheet cannot be attached) the paste is refused with a beep instead of pasted unasked. terminal.paste is unaffected.

Request lifetime

  • The native request is re-registered with the callback context while the sheet is open, so runtime teardown completes it and closes the sheet instead of leaving a request pointing at a freed surface.
  • The answer completes the native request exactly once; the input sequencer replays input deferred behind the paste after the answer.

Wiring

  • The setting is wired through the settings catalog, cmux.json mapping and schema, Settings > Terminal, search, and the settings skill reference; new strings are localized in all nine app locales.
  • Decision and preview logic is a pure, tested type, TerminalUnsafePasteConfirmationPolicy.

Written for commit 3eeff64. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an opt-in setting to require confirmation before pasting content Ghostty flags as unsafe. When enabled, a confirmation sheet appears in the terminal window; when disabled, flagged pastes proceed without asking. The setting is off by default.
    • Added support for configuring the setting in JSON and finding it through settings search. Confirmation applies to paste requests only; OSC 52 clipboard reads are unaffected.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3eeff

With confirmation enabled, affected unsafe pastes are refused instead of offering a Paste or Cancel sheet. Fix the request transfer before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3eeff

The reviewed flow asks before completing a flagged paste when the setting is enabled, and refuses it if confirmation cannot be shown. No introduced security bypass was established, though the underlying clipboard library’s behavior was not independently verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new prompt governs requests that reach Ghostty’s confirmation callback as pastes on a live terminal surface; direct text delivery and pre-confirmation mirror forwarding are outside that decision point.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The handler checks the captured surface identity before policy evaluation; the sheet answer checks both active request ownership and surface identity before releasing paste text. A missing window or failed sheet setup completes with empty text.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The registry’s consume-before-callback ordering resolves duplicate-ID registration on the normal path, and a sheet answer after teardown cannot reclaim a removed request. Native library completion behavior itself was not inspected.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bound preview parsing as well as displayed output: the current implementation splits the entire clipboard string into lines before retaining eight, so unusually large multiline input can still impose work while the request awaits confirmation.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 27.78% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 18 functions across 12 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new warning sheet is reachable by cmux end users through the Ghostty clipboard callback. confirmClipboardRead passes the clipboard text to policy.preview(of:), and askToConfirmUnsafePaste appends that unredacted excerpt directly to NSAlert.informativeText. The excerpt can contain credentials, tokens, personal data, or other sensitive paste payloads. The privacy rule does not exempt bounded previews or sensitive user-supplied payloads. The Ghostty references are confined to settings help and developer comments; the concrete violation is the raw payload shown in the user-facing alert.

Resolution

Remove the raw clipboard preview from the alert, or apply a robust redaction scheme that prevents secrets, credentials, personal data, and other sensitive payloads from reaching user-facing text. A generic warning with safe metadata such as line and character counts is acceptable. Add a regression test that verifies sensitive paste content is never included in alert text.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The new web/data/cmux.schema.json description is user-facing web documentation data, but it is English-only and has no locale-specific message entry. The localized configuration page renders property.description directly when descriptionKey is absent (web/app/[locale]/(landing)/docs/configuration/page.tsx:223-232). The new terminal.confirmUnsafePaste schema entry has only description (web/data/cmux.schema.json:760-763), and docs.configuration.schemaDescriptions.confirmUnsafePaste is absent from all 20 web/messages/*.json files. The Swift strings and all seven new Resources/Localizable.xcstrings keys do have translated entries for the nine locales in that catalog.

Resolution

Add a stable descriptionKey for terminal.confirmUnsafePaste and add its translated description under docs.configuration.schemaDescriptions in every locale file listed by web/i18n/routing.ts: en, ja, zh-CN, zh-TW, ko, de, es, fr, it, da, pl, ru, bs, ar, no, pt-BR, th, tr, km, and uk. Ensure the configuration page consumes that key through next-intl.

Replace the all-static namespace enum. The package conventions lint rejects it.

The CI package conventions check fails at Line 7. TerminalUnsafePasteConfirmationPolicy is a caseless enum that has only static func members. The repository rule forbids this shape. Make the policy a constructable value and call its methods on an instance. Change the caller in Sources/GhosttySurfaceCallbackContext+ClipboardInputSequencing.swift to match.

…sheet

Ghostty's clipboard-paste-protection flags pastes that could run commands
on their own (for example text with a line break going to a program without
bracketed paste) and asks the host to confirm. cmux has always approved
these without asking, so the protection had no visible effect.

terminal.confirmUnsafePaste (off by default, so nothing changes unless it
is turned on) shows the confirmation as a sheet attached to the terminal's
window, with a bounded preview of the text. Paste completes the request as
confirmed; Cancel completes it with no text. OSC 52 clipboard reads, which
use the same Ghostty callback, keep being approved.

While the sheet is open the native request is registered again with the
callback context, so runtime teardown completes it and closes the sheet
instead of leaving a request that points at a freed surface. If the view
has no window, or the request cannot be tracked, the paste is refused with
a beep rather than pasted unasked.

The setting is wired through the CmuxSettings catalog, the cmux.json
mapping and schema (regenerated embedded schema), Settings > Terminal,
search, and the settings skill reference. New strings are localized in all
nine app locales.

Transfer request ownership before presenting the confirmation sheet.

When confirmUnsafePaste is enabled and a window is available, every unsafe paste enters askInWindowSheet. That path registers the existing stateAddress again while the original request remains registered. The registry rejects the duplicate, so the sheet is not shown and the paste completes with empty text.

This blocks the supported opt-in workflow for all affected pastes. Add an atomic registry operation that transfers ownership from the original request to the sheet request. Update the registry and askToConfirmUnsafePaste together. Cover approval, cancellation, teardown, and invalidation across both components.

In @Sources/GhosttySurfaceCallbackContext+ClipboardInputSequencing.swift around
lines 280 - 323, Update the runtime clipboard request registry and
askToConfirmUnsafePaste to atomically transfer the existing stateAddress request
to the confirmation sheet instead of registering it as a duplicate. Preserve the
request through approval, cancellation, teardown, and invalidation so each
outcome completes or releases ownership correctly.
