What this does

Adds a chat view for the agent session running in a cmux terminal (Claude Code first, Codex too). It renders the same TUI session the way the desktop apps do and lets you reply from it, without a second agent process: the terminal stays the source of truth, the view renders the agent's own transcript, and prompts are typed into the terminal.

  • Sidecar route GET /terminal/<surface-id> in agent-chat. It looks the surface up in the hook session stores (~/.cmuxterm/claude-hook-sessions.json, codex-hook-sessions.json; the surface's active binding wins, then the newest session), resolves the transcript path (recorded path, then Claude's projects/<slug>/<id>.jsonl or Codex's sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/rollout-*-<id>.jsonl), and redirects to /s/t-<agent session id>. Paths only come from those stores or the agents' default layouts, so the route cannot read arbitrary files.
  • Transcript adapter agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts tails the JSONL by offset (last 8 MB on first load, then appended lines every 500 ms) and normalizes it into the existing AgentEvent shape. The existing React renderer draws it: turn grouping, tool rows, markdown, and the Ghostty theme.
    • Claude: prompts, thinking, text, tool use and results, turn ends (the final message's stop reason or turn_duration), slash commands, background task notices, interrupts, API errors, compaction, and ai-title as the page title. Meta, sidechain, and harness-injected messages are hidden.
    • Codex: user_message / item_completed prompts (deduplicated), assistant messages, reasoning summaries, function and custom tool calls with outputs, and task_complete.
  • Composer: typing a message and sending it types the prompt into the terminal's agent with mobile.chat.send, the bracketed-paste delivery the iOS chat already uses. Stop and Esc send mobile.chat.interrupt. The prompt shows at once; the transcript's copy replaces it when it lands. The composer is plain: no model or option controls, just where the message goes and send/stop.
  • Control socket: mobile.chat.send and mobile.chat.interrupt are now also served on the local control socket (worker lane, same bodies as the mobile RPC). The sidecar calls them through cmux rpc; the app passes it CMUX_BUNDLED_CLI_PATH and CMUX_SOCKET_PATH when it launches the sidecar.
  • Prompts the view cannot answer: permission prompts, questions, and pickers stay in the terminal. When the hook store says the agent needs input, the view shows the request with an "Answer in terminal" button that focuses the terminal pane (surface.focus).
  • Entry points: an "Open terminal as chat" command palette entry for a focused terminal. It is behind the Agent Chat UI flag (off by default), starts or reuses the sidecar, and opens the view as a transparent split next to the terminal. cmux-chat --terminal --surface <id> opens it from a shell.
  • No provider catalogs, file lists, git baselines, or agent processes are started for these sessions. A view with no open page stops tailing after five minutes and re-resolves on the next visit, including after a sidecar restart.

Screenshots

Not included

  • A native in-place toggle. The view opens as a browser split for now.
  • Answering permission prompts and pickers from the view. They are shown with a button that focuses the terminal.

Testing

  • agent-chat suite (bun run test) and bun x tsc --noEmit pass. test/transcript.test.ts covers the Claude and Codex parsers, tailing (partial lines, initial window, truncation), running-state detection, send/interrupt/focus delivery and its errors, the needs-input banner source, and surface/session resolution against fixture hook stores. test/turns.test.ts covers the summary count and row labels for a Claude Code turn.
  • CmuxControlSocket tests cover routing mobile.chat.send / mobile.chat.interrupt through the worker lane.
  • Ran the parser over a local 2,199-line Claude transcript: 14 turns and 209 matched tool start/end pairs. A large Codex rollout gave 28 turns, all with the user prompt.
  • Screenshots above come from the sidecar running against a fixture hook store in headless Chrome, with transcript lines appended live for the running turn.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Open an existing Claude Code or Codex terminal session in a chat view from the command palette or with the cmux-chat command.
    • Send replies and interrupt the agent from the chat view; focus the terminal when a session needs your attention.
    • View live session activity and status, with support for translated interface text.
  • Improvements

    • Chat activity summaries now distinguish shell commands from other tools.

Adds /terminal/<surface-id> to the agent-chat sidecar. It resolves the
surface's Claude Code or Codex session from the hook session stores, tails
the agent's own JSONL transcript, and normalizes it into AgentEvents so the
existing chat renderer draws the running TUI session without a second agent
process. The view is read-only; replies and prompts stay in the terminal.

Adds an "Open terminal as chat" palette command behind the Agent Chat UI
flag that opens the view as a split next to the focused terminal, and
cmux-chat --terminal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds chat views for Claude Code and Codex sessions running in cmux terminals. It discovers and tails transcripts, routes terminal prompts and focus requests through cmux RPC, and adds desktop and CLI entry points with transcript status and attention controls.

Changes

Terminal Transcript Views

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transcript discovery and reading
agent-chat/transcript-sources.ts, agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts, agent-chat/test/transcript.test.ts
Resolves Claude and Codex transcript files from hook stores and fallback locations. Parses transcript records into chat events and tails file updates. Tests cover parsing, tailing, status detection, delivery, and source lookup.
Terminal chat RPC operations
agent-chat/cmux-rpc.ts, agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/..., Sources/TerminalController+Capabilities.swift, Sources/TerminalController+ControlMobileHostContext.swift, Sources/TerminalController.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Tests/...
Adds cmux RPC support for prompt sending, interruption, and terminal focus. Advertises and routes mobile.chat.send and mobile.chat.interrupt through the mobile-host socket-worker path.
Transcript session routing and lifecycle
agent-chat/server.ts, agent-chat/src/session.ts, agent-chat/types.ts, agent-chat/test/session.test.ts
Creates transcript-backed sessions, resolves terminal routes, handles socket subscriptions and attention updates, and disposes idle views after five minutes. Client session state handles transcript metadata, terminal focus, and failed prompt echoes.
Desktop and CLI entry points
Sources/AppDelegate+AgentChat.swift, Sources/ContentView+AgentChatCommandPalette.swift, Sources/Workspace+AgentChat.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, agent-chat/cmux-chat, cmuxTests/CmuxAgentChatConfigTests.swift, agent-chat/README.md
Adds the command-palette action and transparent browser split, CLI terminal mode, localized command title, feature-flag coverage, and usage documentation.
Transcript chat controls and activity display
agent-chat/src/components/Chat.tsx, agent-chat/src/components/Transcript.tsx, agent-chat/src/i18n.ts, agent-chat/public/app.css, agent-chat/src/turns.ts, agent-chat/test/i18n.test.ts, agent-chat/test/turns.test.ts
Shows transcript running or idle status and terminal attention controls. Adds localized labels, live activity styling, and distinctions between shell commands and other tool activity.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77efe

Prompt delivery can be duplicated after a timeout or appear successful when the terminal rejected it. Resolve those delivery failures before merging; transcript and display concerns also remain.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77efe

The new view can display terminal-agent conversations and send input to the running agent. Its local-only access controls limit exposure, but access depends in part on an optional token, and terminal command failures may be reported as successes.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new transcript route and subscription extend the local sidecar's optional-token access model to terminal-agent history and terminal controls. If the token is absent, a local client reaching the listener can access an available transcript session without session-specific authorization.
  • Medium · reliability · observed: The new transcript adapter can treat a rejected send or interrupt as successful because its RPC bridge checks the CLI exit code but not the structured response's ok field. This weakens feedback about whether terminal control actually occurred.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Effective exposure is limited to clients that can reach the local listener and pass its applicable token and Host or Origin checks. Within that boundary, the new session path can disclose a terminal-agent transcript and dispatch input to its bound terminal.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — With no configured token, a local client able to reach the listener and identify an available transcript session can subscribe without proving ownership. A client without an Origin header passes the Origin check; ordinary cross-origin browser requests do not.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Surface and session identifiers are resolved through hook records, while terminal input requires a current session-to-surface binding. These checks resist arbitrary file selection and stale-target fallback, but they serve different purposes from caller authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A structured application error can traverse the new CLI bridge as an apparent success, so the transcript view may not report a failed send or interrupt.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish a mandatory access credential or equivalent caller authorization for transcript reads and terminal-control actions, and verify how the desktop-launched sidecar configures it.
  • proposed — Validate structured RPC results and define ordering and partial-success behavior for overlapping terminal sends and interrupts before relying on them as chat controls.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.93% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 81 functions across 24 files. (5 skipped: 4 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Cloud Persistent Session And Early Input

Explanation

The PR adds agent-chat/cmux-rpc.ts, where every cmuxRpc call starts a new cmux rpc CLI process with Bun.spawn. Transcript send, interrupt, and terminal-focus actions each use this wrapper. This introduces a new CLI client for every control request instead of multiplexing requests over a persistent control connection. The app already owns a reusable control-socket server and worker lane. This matches the rule's per-request client/process failure condition.

Resolution

Replace the per-call Bun.spawn([cli, "rpc", ...]) wrapper with one sidecar-owned, authenticated control-socket client. Keep the connection alive and multiplex requests with request IDs. Preserve per-request timeout, cancellation, socket-path selection, authentication, and session-to-surface byte routing. Reconnect only after transport failure or an authentication-identity change; do not start a new CLI process for each send, interrupt, or focus request.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The production diff expands a semaphore-based blocking wait to the new terminal chat commands. Sources/TerminalController.swift changes the dispatch condition from only mobile.task.models.list to also include mobile.chat.send and mobile.chat.interrupt; those commands call v2AsyncResultCall, which waits on DispatchSemaphore for up to seven seconds. This affects the terminal input path and matches the rule's explicit failure condition.

Resolution

Route mobile.chat.send and mobile.chat.interrupt through an async-native socket response path. Await handleMobileHostAsync and write the response when the async operation completes. Do not use v2AsyncResultCall or another blocking wait for these commands.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

The PR adds production TypeScript polling and wall-clock lifecycle timers. agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts:360-384 polls the transcript file every 500 ms with setInterval; its error comment explicitly relies on the next poll to retry unreadable files. agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts:480-503 adds a 2-second interval to recompute running/idle state from elapsed time. agent-chat/server.ts:625,689-704 adds a five-minute setTimeout to dispose an unsubscribed transcript session. These changes introduce filesystem retry, status lifecycle, and teardown behavior based on fixed elapsed delays. The existing sleep 0.2 in agent-chat/cmux-chat was not changed and is not causal.

Resolution

Replace transcript file polling with an owner-driven filesystem or transcript notification, such as a properly managed file watcher or explicit append event. Handle unreadable-file recovery through that lifecycle signal instead of recurring fixed polls. Replace the 2-second status interval with event-driven status updates and a cancellable deadline scheduled from the last transcript write or turn-boundary event. Implement idle transcript disposal through a dedicated cancellation-aware lifecycle scheduler with tests, or an explicit subscription/lifecycle completion signal. Add tests for read-failure recovery, status expiry, cancellation, and disposal.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The new production search path in agent-chat/transcript-sources.ts is not linear for scalable session data. resolveSurfaceTranscript sorts all matching candidates at line 177, which costs O(C log C), then checks candidates in order at lines 178–180. For Codex entries without a recorded path, each check can rescan up to 120 date directories through findCodexRollout at lines 102–129, producing repeated filesystem scans. The added tests use only a small fixture and provide no benchmark or measurement for roughly 1000 sessions.

Resolution

Replace the candidate sort with a single-pass best-candidate selection that preserves active-session and updatedAt priority. Build one bounded Codex rollout index per resolution (or cache the directory scan) so candidate validation does not rescan the date tree for each session. Keep the 120-day bound explicit and add a benchmark or measurement for stores with about 1000 sessions.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The PR adds an unowned fire-and-forget task in Sources/Workspace+AgentChat.swift:21. The task performs the real terminal-chat startup workflow, including awaited server availability checks that can poll for up to 10 seconds, then creates the browser split. The task handle is not stored or cancelled, and the synchronous command-palette caller cannot observe or own its lifecycle. The other new Swift async APIs use async directly and do not add a separate legacy pattern.

Resolution

Make the terminal-chat launch operation lifecycle-aware. Prefer an async openTerminalChatView operation awaited by an owning caller. If the command-palette API must remain synchronous, store the created Task in the owning Workspace or a dedicated coordinator, cancel any prior task and cancel it when the workspace or target terminal is removed, then clear the handle on completion. Keep the existing async server-availability API and UI work inside that owned task.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

The new terminal-chat entry point runs server startup and health checks from @MainActor. Workspace.openTerminalChatView creates Task { @MainActor }, which calls the new AppDelegate.agentChatBrowserBaseURL. That method awaits ensureAgentChatServerAvailable, whose path performs URLSession health polling, state-file I/O, process launch, and polling. The network helper agentChatServerIsHealthy is nonisolated async but lacks @concurrent. The PR therefore adds a UI-isolated call path for heavy async work without a concurrent boundary.

Resolution

Keep configuration lookup, authorization UI, theme synchronization, and browser-split creation on @MainActor. Move server readiness work into nonisolated @concurrent helpers, including the URLSession health check and state-file/process polling, or add an explicit detached/concurrent boundary around that work. Return an immutable availability result to the main actor before creating the split. Do not annotate actor-isolated helpers with @concurrent; split their UI-bound portions from their file/network/process work.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new terminal chat exposes raw upstream and internal error text to cmux users. agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts copies Claude API error content and Codex error messages directly into AgentEvent errors, which server.ts broadcasts and Transcript.tsx renders in the user-facing error block. The new cmux-rpc.ts also returns raw CLI stderr/stdout and spawn exception text; transcript send, interrupt, and terminal-focus handlers interpolate that text into visible errors. These paths can reveal vendor messages, internal details, paths, identifiers, or payload data, which the rule forbids.

Resolution

Sanitize every new user-facing failure path. Map Claude/Codex transcript errors to a fixed cmux message such as The terminal agent reported an error. Check the terminal for details. Do not forward raw transcript error content. Map RPC spawn, non-zero-exit, timeout, send, interrupt, and focus failures to fixed generic recovery copy, and keep raw stderr/stdout and exception details only in sidecar or app diagnostics. Add regression tests that assert vendor, path, identifier, and payload text never reaches the emitted user-facing error event.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds production web text that bypasses the locale source. agent-chat/adapters/transcript.ts emits English UI events such as Background task update, Interrupted, Conversation compacted, API error, and terminal delivery errors. agent-chat/transcript-sources.ts adds the rendered fallback The agent is waiting for input in the terminal.. agent-chat/server.ts adds an English 404 HTML page, and agent-chat/src/turns.ts adds or changes rendered labels such as used, Ran, and Used. These modules do not import or call agentChatText, and no matching locale entries exist for these strings. The new composer strings in agent-chat/src/i18n.ts are covered for all 20 locales, and the new Swift catalog key has translations for all nine locales in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings; those compliant additions do not fix the other web text.

Resolution

Route every new or materially changed user-facing string through the agent-chat locale source, or an equivalent runtime locale API. Add stable keys and translated values for all locales in web/i18n/routing.ts (the agent-chat registry currently mirrors these locales) for transcript statuses, background-task text, delivery/focus errors, attention fallback text, activity summaries and row labels, and the terminal-not-found HTML page. Use the localized values in the transcript adapter, transcript source, server route, and turn-summary code. Keep dynamic transcript content and protocol identifiers unchanged.

Prevent stopped transcript tails from delivering lines.

stop() clears the timer but does not cancel an in-flight read. During retargeting, the old read can call its old parser after the new tail replaces the session state. This can mix old transcript events into the new session and overwrite the new state's lastWriteMs with the old file's timestamp.

Localize the "No agent session" page.

The palette command opens this 404 body directly in the split. Users therefore see it. All of its text is hardcoded English: the title and both paragraphs. The chat UI already has a locale catalog in agent-chat/src/i18n.ts, but this page does not use it.

Use one of these fixes:

  • Redirect to the app shell with a not-found state, and render the message with the existing i18n messages.
  • Choose the strings from the i18n catalog by the Accept-Language header. Add entries for every supported locale.

As per path instructions: "web UI … must read from next-intl or another locale-specific source and update every locale".

Disable agent keyboard actions in transcript views.

useKeymap registers a global handler without checking transcriptView. In a transcript view, keyboard actions can call stop(), which is harmless because the transcript adapter no-ops it, or call setOption(), which rejects with operation is not supported in a transcript view. The model shortcut can also open the model picker even though transcript views are read-only. Pass transcriptView to useKeymap and ignore agent actions when it is true. Keep non-agent shortcuts such as help available if required.

Avoid repeated Codex rollout scans during terminal lookup.

/terminal/<surface-id> is a bootstrap route that redirects to /s/..., so this scan does not run for every ongoing terminal-view request. However, each bootstrap request can synchronously scan up to 120 day directories. Multiple unresolved Codex candidates can repeat the scan before a source is found, which can delay other sidecar work during lookup.

Cache successful paths by codexHome and sessionId. Recheck cached paths with isFile, and keep misses uncached so newly created rollouts remain discoverable.

Mark accepted foreground Codex sessions active.

When upsertCodexSessionStartIfFresh accepts a foreground session, update both active bindings. The resolver already prioritizes active candidates and then compares updatedAt, so the newer Codex entry will outrank a retained Claude binding without cross-agent ownership changes.

🐛 Suggested fix
             state.sessions[normalized] = record
+            let activeRecord = ClaudeHookActiveSessionRecord(
+                sessionId: normalized,
+                turnId: nil,
+                allowsNewSessionReplacement: nil,
+                updatedAt: now
+            )
+            state.activeSessionsByWorkspace[workspaceId] = activeRecord
+            state.activeSessionsBySurface[surfaceId] = activeRecord
             return true

Do not demote active entries based on arbitrary newer cross-agent candidates. A newer historical entry is not an authoritative ownership transition.

The view is no longer read-only. The composer types the prompt into the
terminal's agent through mobile.chat.send (the iOS chat's bracketed-paste
delivery), and Stop or Esc sends mobile.chat.interrupt. Both are now
reachable on the local control socket (worker lane) and the sidecar calls
them through cmux rpc with the socket and CLI paths the app passes it. The
prompt renders at once and the transcript's copy replaces it. When the hook
store says the agent needs input, the view shows the request with an
"Answer in terminal" button that focuses the terminal pane.

Also fixes two rendering bugs: the collapsed turn summary counted every
tool call as a command (only shell tools count now; structured tools are
reported by what they did), and a running turn's thinking and interim text
rendered outside the centered column.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bash and exec_command rows show the command itself, structured tools
that are not reads, searches, or edits read as "Used", Grep rows show the
pattern, and live thinking lines up with the tool rows.

…ailed terminal send

- TranscriptTail's timer catches a rejected poll: open or read failing
  after stat (a deleted or root-owned transcript) was an unhandled
  rejection that ended the whole sidecar.
- A failed send to the terminal carries its prompt on the error event.
  The client drops that prompt's optimistic echo and puts the status back
  to what the server last said, instead of showing "running" until the
  next transcript write.
- An optimistic echo matches anywhere in the queue, so one that never
  lands or lands rewritten no longer doubles every later prompt.

Handle RPC-level errors before returning success.

cmux rpc prints responses with ok: false and exits 0 when the control socket returns an application error. cmuxRpc checks only the exit code, so it marks that response as successful. The terminal adapter then suppresses the delivery error for mobile.chat.send or mobile.chat.interrupt.

Suggested fix
-      return { ok: true, result: JSON.parse(stdout) };
+      const result = JSON.parse(stdout);
+      if (result?.ok === false) {
+        const error = result.error;
+        return {
+          ok: false,
+          error: error?.message || JSON.stringify(error) || "cmux rpc failed",
+        };
+      }
+      return { ok: true, result };

This is separate from timeout-related late delivery. The failure occurs when the RPC completes with an error response before the timeout.

Update cmuxRpc to inspect parsed JSON responses for an application-level ok:
false and return a failed result with the response error details instead of
reporting success. Preserve the existing handling for successful responses,
non-JSON output, and nonzero process exit codes.

Announce transcript status changes.

When running changes, the hint changes between running and idle text without a live region. Screen-reader users may not hear the new status. Give the hint role="status" so the status change is announced.

Based on retrieved learnings, “dynamically updating status or empty-state text must be wrapped in a live region.”

Make timed-out mobile.chat.send requests single-commit.

v2AsyncResultCall cancels the task and returns a timeout without waiting for it. The detached binding refresh does not check cancellation. If it completes later, v2MobileChatSend continues to clearAgentPrompt and terminal submission. A client retry can submit the same prompt twice.

Give each send a request ID. Make the terminal delivery owner accept or reject each ID once and acknowledge the commit before reporting the socket result.

Review comment at @Sources/TerminalController.swift at line 1311:
Give each mobile.chat.send request a unique request ID, and update
v2MobileChatSend and the terminal delivery owner to accept each ID at most once.
Acknowledge the owner’s commit before reporting the socket result, and ensure a
late completion after v2AsyncResultCall times out cannot submit the prompt or
cause a retry to submit it again.
