Make Cloud Delete Machine optimistic

[austinywang]

Closes #15155

Summary

Deleting a Cloud machine used to leave its row, workspaces and panes on screen until the destroy request came back, and a 45 s poll during that wait could put the row back. Now the machine leaves the Cloud tree, the Machines panel, mirrored sidebars, the ＋ menu and palette pickers in the same frame as the confirm, before any network response. Its local workspaces and URL panes close at the same moment. If the delete fails, the row comes back where it was, with its selection and expansion, and the "Couldn't Delete Machine" alert still shows.

Ownership. CloudMachineDeletionCoordinator in CmuxCloudMachines owns the state. It has no AppKit, singletons or I/O:

• begin hides a machine; a second begin is a no-op.
• finish keeps the machine hidden as a confirmed deletion on success or 404 vm_not_found, and lists it again on failure.
• A pending machine stays hidden whatever a fleet read returns. A confirmed deletion stays hidden until the account ends, so neither a stale poll nor a lagging backend brings the row back, and success doesn't flicker.
• The projection has two sets: hiddenMachineIDs, which every list omits, and pendingMachineIDs, the subset that can still come back. The Cloud tree keeps selection and expansion only for the pending ones.
• endAccount() forgets everything without rollback.

The create owner, CloudMachineCreateCoordinator, learns about deletions through retireCreates(producing:presentedIn:) and machineDeletionFailed(_:), so a create never destroys a machine that is being deleted, or one whose delete failed, on its own. The package README documents both. MachineDeleteCoordinator is the app adapter. It sends the destroy request and closes workspaces and panes, and the existing launchers still own the alert. Its request and local effects are injected closures, so app tests drive it without a network or window.

Entrypoints. The row menu, the hover button and create cleanup all go through the adapter. So do cmux vm rm and the vm.destroy socket method, which the other entrypoints' CLI also reaches. Every list reads the same projection: visibleMachines, visibleCatalog and the sidebar rows omit hiddenMachineIDs, and the tree's pendingMachineDeletions reads pendingMachineIDs. That makes every panel invalidate in the same frame. Socket reads such as workspace list and list-panes answer from a mirror that closing a background workspace doesn't refresh, and cmux vm rm reaches the delete through a worker-lane vm.destroy call, which never refreshes it either. So the adapter refreshes that mirror after the detach and again after the retire.

Trade-offs

• Close, not hide. On confirm, the machine's local workspaces and URL-backed panes close. A workspace closes whole, panes the person added included; a window's last tab stays open, emptied and unbound, as on main after a delete. This is a local detach: the VM and its terminals keep running and the surface provider stays registered, so after a failed delete the restored row opens the machine again. What doesn't come back is the old local layout; the person reopens the workspace. Terminal panes of other workspaces that point at the machine stay until the delete succeeds, when the existing provider unregistration closes them.

• When hiding starts. From the row menu and hover button, the row is hidden right after cmux vm rm launches successfully, not before the launch. If the launch fails, the existing alert shows and the row was never hidden. If the CLI exits before its request reports an outcome, launchEnded restores the row.

• A cancelled create's cleanup detaches when its request starts. Cancelling a create whose receipt named its machine hides the machine at once, with no failure alert. The machine's workspaces and panes detach when the cleanup's vm.destroy request reaches the app. That request comes from a separate CLI process, so it always arrives after the cancel has finished. By then the cancel has closed the create's card, which unbinds any pane the person added, so that workspace stays open as it does on main. A Cmd+W that cancelled the create has also finished its own close, so the detach doesn't close the workspace again from inside that close. While the CLI starts, the row is gone but the machine's other workspaces and panes are still live. If the CLI exits without sending its request, the row comes back with those workspaces untouched, and no alert shows, as for any failed cleanup on main.

• Confirmed deletions stay hidden for the account. After success or 404, the machine stays hidden until sign-out or an account or team switch, not just until the next fleet read omits it. Each list polls on its own schedule, so one list's fresh read doesn't prove another list has dropped the machine. Provider machine IDs are never reused, and the set holds one string per deleted machine. If the backend reported success and the machine somehow survived, it stays hidden until the next account change or relaunch. One exception to "never reused": the local mock VM driver numbers machines from an in-memory counter (mock-vm-1, …), so after a local backend restart a new mock machine can take a deleted one's ID and stay hidden until the app's account changes. Production providers don't do this.

• Double delete. A second confirm on a hidden machine is a no-op. A second vm.destroy for a machine in flight joins the running request. One for a machine whose delete is confirmed answers {"ok": true, "already_gone": true} without another request. That is the reply main gave a repeat delete, via the backend's 404.

• Exact IDs. vm.destroy sends the ID exactly as given, as on main. The backend matches IDs exactly, so a differently cased ID gets 404 and the reply already_gone, and no listed row is hidden. The workspace teardown after that 404 still matches IDs case-insensitively, exactly as main's 404 path does; this PR leaves that shared teardown alone because it also closes workspaces bound under a differently cased ID.

• CLI timeout. cmux vm rm now waits 120 s for vm.destroy instead of 60 s. The app's request has no total timeout: URLSession.shared gives up after 60 s without data, and VMClient retries a 429 up to twice after its Retry-After wait, so one delete can run for about 300 s. If it runs past 120 s, the CLI reports failure and the alert shows, while the row stays hidden until the app's request reports its real outcome, then comes back or retires without another alert. main had the same mismatch at 60 s, with the row left on screen.

• Timeouts. A destroy request that times out counts as a failure, so the row comes back even though the backend may still delete the machine; if it does, the next fleet read drops the row. main showed the same alert and had kept the row on screen.

• Pending creates. Deleting a machine stops every create that named it or presents in one of its workspaces, before those workspaces close, so none issues a second destroy or brings the row back. Receipts that name the machine while its delete runs count as that delete's destroy. After a failure, a create whose receipt first names the restored machine keeps it, and the creates the delete stopped stay stopped without retrying the destroy. One case does destroy the restored machine: a create the person cancelled before its receipt, whose first receipt arrives after the failure. That carries out the person's cancel, as main would have.

• Selection. Selecting a row of a deleting machine clears the selection, since no row of that machine remains. Rollback restores the selection only if nothing else was selected meanwhile. If a workspace is being deleted and its machine is then deleted, the tree can keep selectedNodeID on the hidden machine row with nothing visibly selected.

• Left unfiltered. These still see the machine while its delete is pending:

  • the plan meter and plan-limit checks. During a held delete, the Machines panel read "1 of 50 machines" above "No machines yet" until the first fleet read after the delete. The count stays because the plan's slot isn't free until the provider deletes the machine, so at a plan's limit New Machine stays disabled until then;
  • socket vm.list;
  • the surface registry;
  • host settings;
  • BrowserPanel lookups.

  From the row menu and hover button, the "Deleting …" header label still shows while the request runs. Pins reconcile against the raw fleet, so a rollback keeps the machine's pin.

• Account end. Sign-out and account or team switches clear pending deletions with no rollback alert. An outcome that arrives after the switch changes nothing. The create owner counts those machines as cleaned up for the rest of the session, so a departed create never destroys one, while a later create may keep one whose delete failed on the server.

Testing

Every red commit below changes tests only, except three. bd3cd1f also added a behavior-preserving runLater parameter to MachineDeleteCoordinator so the test could run the later turn itself. f013f1e removed that parameter along with the later-turn detach. b92e065 and 38659a0 each added a republishSocketReads parameter that the function didn't call yet, so their tests could compile; the fix commits call it. Each pair ran the same command on both commits, and the checkout log confirms each commit.

Package (swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxCloudMachines -Xswiftc -warnings-as-errors, cloud-machine-tests.yml). CloudMachineDeletionCoordinatorTests cover hiding until the outcome; confirmed deletions that stay hidden, without flicker, on success and 404 until the account ends; rollback of only the failed machine, and retry; account transitions; and how creates interact with deletions.

At the head, db379ee, the PR's package run passes 65 tests in 8 suites. That run checks out the PR's merge with main.

App (MachineDeleteCoordinatorTests, CloudMachineDeleteOptimismTests, plus the existing CloudWorkspaceDeleteOptimismTests). These cover:

• the adapter, through injected request and effect closures: a repeat vm.destroy joins the request in flight and a later one answers already gone without a request; 404 retires; other failures restore and allow a retry; a CLI exit restores only a delete that never sent its request; after an account ends, the departed account's late failure and success change nothing and the next account's delete of the same machine sends its own request;
• the detach order, through a real create owner: a create in the machine's workspace that hasn't named the machine is gone before the workspaces close;
• create cleanup: the create's card closes, and a Cmd+W close finishes, before the cleanup's request detaches the machine; a cleanup whose CLI exits before its request detaches nothing and lists the machine again; a cleanup that a terminal's cmux vm rm joins detaches once and sends one request;
• the catalog filter for every list;
• selection clearing and conditional restore in CloudTreeDeletionPresentation;
• a machine hidden with a pending workspace;
• a rendered outline across five hidden passes, then rollback that restores the selection and a collapsed folder. The before, pending and rollback screenshots are attached to the run.

Each app pair ran test-e2e.yml with one filter on both commits. The first pair ran MachineDeleteCoordinatorTests, CloudMachineDeleteOptimismTests and CloudWorkspaceDeleteOptimismTests; the later pairs also ran MachineCreateCoordinatorTests and CloudMachineWorkspaceAdoptionTests:

Behavior	Red	Green
A cleanup detaches only after its card closes	bd3cd1f5d7: only createCleanupDetachesOnlyAfterTheTransitionThatRequestedIt fails, with 3 issues, 21 tests	6801fb2c91: 22 pass, including the added createCleanupDetachesNothingOnceTheMachineIsListedAgain
A cleanup detaches only once its request starts	240df07dc8: only createCleanupDetachesOnlyOnceItsDestroyRequestStarts fails, with 3 issues, 63 tests	f013f1eeda: 62 pass; the fix removed createCleanupDetachesNothingOnceTheMachineIsListedAgain, which the new test replaces
A delete's detach refreshes socket reads	b92e065133: only detachRetiresTheMachinesCreatesBeforeClosingItsWorkspaces fails, on its expectation, 63 tests	3c6688c9ed: 63 pass
A confirmed delete's retire refreshes socket reads	38659a0b9a: only retireClosesTheMachinesRegistrationsThenRepublishesSocketReads fails, on its expectation, 64 tests	4f04cfbedb: 64 pass

The same filter also passed 63 tests at 11ea1104ce and 2cbbadb714, and 64 tests at the head, db379ee (a24).

The first app tests depend on the new app API, so they landed with their fix commits; the package pairs are the behavioral red/green for those. Coverage added without a red commit:

• the detach-order test (6d55ec1, 9a6f052);
• the package test for a create that produced the machine and presents in its workspace (1422ae5);
• cleanupReportsOnlyItsFirstRequestAndRollsBackLikeADelete (f013f1e), the package half of the request-start fix, whose app half has the red commit 240df07;
• cleanupJoinedByAnotherRemoveDetachesOnce (11ea110);
• the switch to exact IDs (it removed a case-folding step this PR had added and never shipped);
• the 120 s CLI wait (a configuration value).

Review. A review subagent ran on each round of changes, correctness first:

• It found that one list's fresh read could end the hiding while another list still showed an older read (fixed by the second package pair), and that deletion teardown and the CLI wait needed the exact-ID and 120 s choices above. Its three test nits are fixed in 0c86942.
• CodeRabbit found that a failed delete kept the machine marked as cleaned up, so a create couldn't keep it (third pair); its vm.list suggestion is declined in this comment, for the reason under "Left unfiltered". The follow-up review found that cleanup still depended on whether a receipt or the failure arrived first, and that account ends kept deletions (fourth pair).
• The next round found a race: the delete's own workspace close cancelled a create before the create owner knew about the deletion, so a late receipt could destroy the machine after the failure alert (fifth pair). Retiring those creates first then closed their cards, which would have unbound the person's panes before the whole-workspace close; the sixth pair keeps those cards for that close.
• Round 4 found that a cancelled create's cleanup now detached its machine before the card closed, closing the person's panes, and that a Cmd+W cancel closed the workspace again from inside its own close. The app pair bd3cd1f/6801fb2c91 fixed it by detaching on a later main-actor turn, which the request-start fix below replaced. Its three nits are fixed in 1422ae5, 9a6f052 and 61b287e.
• Round 5 (6d55ec1..9a6f052) found nothing blocking. It flagged a comment that said an ended account lists the machine again, corrected in f017de5. It also flagged a restore followed by a fresh delete before the later turn, which could detach twice, and a test that landed with its fix. The request-start fix below made both moot and replaced that test with one that has a red commit. One nit is left as is: the Cmd+W half of createCleanupDetachesOnlyAfterTheTransitionThatRequestedIt calls cancelOperations(forPresentationWorkspace:) directly, not through TabManager.closeWorkspace, so the order for a real Cmd+W rests on the socket ordering described under "Trade-offs", not on a test.
• CodeRabbit then found that the later turn still detached a cleanup's machine when its CLI exited before sending the request, so the row came back without its workspaces. The app pair 240df07/f013f1eeda detaches when the cleanup's request starts instead: the package records a cleanup as awaiting its request, and vm.destroy detaches only when it moves that entry to pending. The thread is answered with these runs.
• Round 6, on f013f1e, found nothing blocking. Its doc, README and joined-cleanup test nits are fixed in 11ea110. One point is disclosed rather than changed. f013f1e's message says nothing detaches after an account ends, which holds for the package's cleanup state. In the app, a vm.destroy that arrives after the account ends starts a fresh delete and detaches, as any new delete does and as main would send that request. The app test of a cleanup across an account end went away with the later-turn design; accountTransitionClearsDeletionsWithoutRollback covers the package state.
• Round 7, on 2cbbadb, found nothing blocking. The notes it raised on socket vm.list, the 120 s CLI wait and exact IDs are already covered under "Trade-offs". Two notes are left as is, for these reasons:
  • launchEnded doesn't check the account epoch the way a request's outcome does. It could restore the next account's pending delete of the same machine only if that delete began before the old CLI's exit callback ran. Sign-out and team switch terminate every launch before they end the account, and those exit callbacks run on the main actor's next turns, before a new sign-in or confirm can happen.
  • The create and delete owners observe the account's end in whichever order they were created. If the create owner runs second, a cleanup it starts is hidden under the new account until its CLI reports, and then comes back or retires as any cleanup does.
• Round 8, on 3c6688c, found that the retire after a confirmed delete left socket reads stale. That retire closes any workspace or URL pane opened on the machine while its delete was pending, and a cmux vm rm never refreshes the reads. It also found a doc comment that described the refresh wrongly. The app pair 38659a0/4f04cfbedb refreshes socket reads after the retire and corrects the comment. Two notes are left as is, for these reasons:
  • A cmux vm rm process killed after sending vm.destroy but before the app reads it brings the row back with the alert, and the late request then deletes the machine as a fresh delete. main sends that request and shows that alert as well.
  • A URL pane that is the only pane of a workspace not bound to the machine stays open, because the socket close refuses a workspace's last surface. main's close of a gone machine's panes has the same limit.
• Round 9, on 38659a0..4f04cfb, found nothing. Its one note: the refresh reaches socket reads a moment after the vm.destroy reply, as it does for main-lane methods.

One earlier nit is left as is. When a delete is confirmed, the tree skips its rebuild because its visible nodes didn't change, so the hidden machine's remembered expansion stays until the next change to the tree. It is never drawn and only restores expansion if the machine comes back.

Bots: CodeRabbit reviewed 0c86942, 57ae1d6, 9a6f052 and 2cbbadb; both of its threads are answered and resolved, and its 2cbbadb review had no comments. Its review of the commits after 2cbbadb through 40d5999, requested again after main was merged, generated no comments either. Its automatic reviews are paused on this branch, and the head, db379ee, only merges main. Bugbot is paused at its spend limit.

Local checks: At db379ee, python3 scripts/verify-local.py --affected 56ec600c281 --swift-changed 56ec600c281 passed all 6 of its checks: Swift syntax on 27 files, project, app-source wiring with 13 tests, test wiring, package groups and feature flags. scripts/swift_file_length_budget.py passed on the same 27 files. No budget TSV or CHANGELOG.md changed. Nothing was compiled or tested on the development Mac; every build and test above ran in CI.

Dogfood. Every round ran a tagged cmux DEV issue-15155-optimistic-machine-delete build against the dev backend, through a local proxy that could hold a DELETE or answer it with a 500. Before each round, identify through the tag-bound CLI named the tagged bundle, and both Cloud Machines switches read On for that bundle only: Settings → Beta Features → Cloud Machines, and Help → Feature Flags → Cloud Machines. Every machine was a throwaway created for the test, and all of them are deleted.

At 0c86942, on the fleet build (HQ at the time). Presence was sampled from the Cloud tree's accessibility rows, about every 0.55 s for A and every 0.2 s for B and C, so a shorter flash would be missed.

• Hover button, held, then a forced 500 (machine A, button pressed through its accessibility action). The row and its open local workspace left at once. Refresh Machines during the hold didn't bring the row back, while cmux vm ls still listed the machine. The 500 showed "Couldn't Delete Machine", and the row came back in its place with its terminal row still selected and its collapsed Displays folder still collapsed. Reopening the workspace worked.
• Hover button, held, then success (A). After the 200, the row stayed gone in all 45 samples over 25 s.
• cmux vm rm, held, then success (B). The row was gone 0.84 s after the CLI launched, counting CLI startup, and before the DELETE reached the proxy at 1.15 s; B's local workspace closed with it. A second cmux vm rm joined the held request: one DELETE reached the proxy and both printed OK. After the 200, the row stayed gone in all 143 samples over 25 s. A third cmux vm rm and a direct vm.destroy answered already_gone without a request.
• cmux vm rm, held past the timeout (C). Refresh Machines at 18 s and the 45 s poll both ran during the hold and left the row hidden. At 60 s the app's request hit URLSession's idle timeout, which counts as a failure: the row came back and the CLI exited 1 with its request-failed error. An unheld cmux vm rm then deleted C, and the row stayed gone in all 136 samples over 25 s.

At 2cbbadb, on a reload-build build, with new throwaways:

• cmux vm rm, held, then success (B). The row was hidden 0.35 s after the CLI launched. B's sidebar workspace left in the same frame, and its pane closed. A second cmux vm rm joined the held request (one DELETE, both exited 0), and a third answered OK without a request. During the hold, socket workspace list still listed the closed workspace; the pair b92e065/3c6688c9ed fixes that.
• cmux vm rm, forced 500 (C). The row was hidden 0.47 s after launch, and C's workspace closed. After the 500 the row came back at the same position, and the CLI exited 1 with HTTP 500: forced_delete_failure.

At 4f04cfb, on a reload-build build:

• cmux vm rm, held, then success (C, with two local workspaces). While the DELETE was held, workspace list dropped both of C's workspaces, list-panes on the closed one answered "Workspace ref not found", and cmux vm ls still listed C. A workspace opened on C during the hold with cmux vm workspace new was missing from the first workspace list after the reply, so the retire closed it and refreshed the reads. One DELETE reached the proxy and the CLI exited 0. The first read without C's workspaces came 4.5 s after launch, not within the fraction of a second the other rounds took. The Mac had a load average of 11.8 and the app log showed autosave ticks of 6.2 s and 11.9 s, and once the main actor was free the detach ran in one 0.6 s burst.
• cmux vm rm, held, then a forced 500, then success (A). The Cloud tree fell from 15 rows to 4 0.26 s after launch, and workspace list omitted A's workspace 0.36 s after launch; cmux vm ls still listed A. After the 500 the CLI exited 1, and the tree was back at 15 rows with the same folders expanded as before: Workspaces, Cloud, A, Ports and Displays open, Terminals and Resources collapsed. A's local workspace stayed closed, as described under "Close, not hide". An unheld cmux vm rm then deleted A, and cmux vm ls listed no machines. A delete started from cmux vm rm shows no alert; the alert belongs to the row menu and hover button.

At the head, db379ee, on reload-build build r6, with Settings → Beta Features → Cloud Machines and Help → Feature Flags… → Cloud Machines both on for the tagged app:

• cmux vm rm, held, then success (a new throwaway, R, with one local workspace). The first workspace list without R's workspace came 0.80 s after the CLI launched, counting CLI startup. A window screenshot taken next showed the Cloud tree at "No machines yet" and the sidebar without R's workspace, while cmux vm ls still listed R and the CLI was still waiting on the held DELETE. After the release, one DELETE reached the proxy, the CLI exited 0, and cmux vm ls listed no machines. A second cmux vm rm printed OK without sending a request.

Not driven: the row's context menu, at any head, and the hover button after 0c86942. At 0c86942 the tagged window was on another Space of a Mac in use and cmux-cua's onboarding hadn't finished; from 2cbbadb on, the Mac's screen was locked, which blocks accessibility actions and posted events. The menu's Delete… item calls the same confirmDelete closure as the hover button (CloudTreeOutlineView+MachineMenu.swift, CloudTreeRowHoverButtons.swift), and this PR changes neither file. After 0c86942, CloudVMActionLauncher changed only in its create-cleanup path, so a confirm from either control reaches the same MachineDeleteCoordinator.begin and detach that the later cmux vm rm rounds drove. Because the tagged app was never the active app, the confirmation and the failure alert ran as app-modal alerts; with a key window they're sheets, as on main.

Localization: no user-facing strings are added or changed. The alert reuses the existing localized "Couldn't Delete Machine" copy.

Not run or superseded. A newer push cancelled the "Cloud machine lifecycle" PR runs 36401873169, 36404377585, 36406325868, 36406669196, 36407911105 and 36409081495, and the CI run 36409081659. Newer dispatches cancelled app runs a4, a6–a9, a13 and a14. App run a10 at 6d55ec1 lost its build runner and ran no tests; the first attempt of a15 lost its runner as well and was re-run. PR run 36401872763 at acf90b7 lost its compile-admission machine and was re-run. CI run 36410007841 at 11ea110 was refused compile admission for capacity on its first attempt. Its second attempt failed the Swift warning budget: 9a6f052 had added a default argument creates: MachineCreateCoordinator = .shared, and in Swift 5 mode that main-actor reference is evaluated outside the actor, which warns. d50cfe4 fixes it by resolving the shared owner inside the function; the budget file is unchanged. A newer dispatch cancelled the tagged build 36412481404 at 11ea110. Fleet builds eec0b8d5, eae4e4b5, b0632e20, f9e14ff7, 176cb58c and d253c088 were cancelled while still queued, because newer commits replaced them. The controller clamps the requested 268435456000-byte disk floor to 53687091200 bytes. The tagged builds r3 at 3c6688c and r4 at 4f04cfb are superseded by r6 at the head. r5 at 40d5999 lost its first attempt before a runner was assigned, and its second attempt was cancelled when db379ee replaced that head, as were app run a23 and fleet build 535c8263. CI runs 36420737039 at 3c6688c and 36422871349 at 4f04cfb failed main's workflow guard tests on the dogfood tour from #15216, which #15360 fixes; 40d5999 merges that fix. Both attempts of CI run 36426551672 at 40d5999 failed test_prune_caps_the_mini_oldest_build_first_across_runners in tests/test_ci_owned_spm_scratch.py, an intermittent test from #14804: two scratch entries created in the same instant tie on age. #15366 fixes it on main by dating each entry from its lock file, and db379ee merges that. App runs a20–a22 and a24 ran their tests inside the build job, so their test jobs were skipped; a19 ran them in its test job, which holds its red result. Fleet builds 2b6bbacb, fbe271c8 and 8be5083c were also cancelled while still queued, for the same reason as the others. The fleet build of the head, db379ee (job 17a1dca6), finished after the smoke round and is on HQ. Its app reads "cmux DEV issue-15155-optimistic-machine-delete" and carries db379ee, but the smoke round ran on r6, built from the same commit, because the fleet job was still queued then.

Changelog

Fixed: Deleting a Cloud machine removes it from every list immediately, and brings it back where it was if the delete fails

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cbba

The fleet list may still show a machine while deletion is pending. Confirm whether that list is intended to reflect backend counts or app-facing visibility; the earlier premature workspace-closure risk appears addressed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2cbba

A failed delete now restores the machine in lists but does not reopen workspaces and panes closed before the request. The impact is local to the application session, but the changed ordering matters for anyone able to invoke machine deletion.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · observed: A socket-supplied machine ID can cause matching local workspaces and panes to close before the provider accepts deletion. If the request fails, the machine is listed again, but those local presentations are not restored.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated pre-confirmation effect is on matching workspaces and URL-backed panes in the current application session. Cross-account provider access and access by unauthenticated socket clients were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A caller able to invoke the enabled socket’s vm.destroy method with the ID of a locally presented machine can trigger its local closure even when the provider later rejects deletion. Restoring the row does not undo that closure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The Cloud feature gate precedes vm.destroy, and stale completion effects are blocked by an account epoch. The common request wrapper executes the supplied work; neither that wrapper nor the adapter establishes ownership of the supplied machine ID in the inspected source.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — On provider failure, deletion state restores visibility and notifies the create coordinator; it does not restore the workspaces or panels closed when deletion began.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before irreversible local detachment, establish that the requested machine belongs to the active account and that deletion is authorized, or make failure restore the detached presentations as well as list visibility.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 46.59% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 88 functions across 24 files. (4 skipped: 2 unsupported, 2 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The production Swift diff increases the synchronous vm.destroy CLI request timeout from 60 to 120 seconds in CLI/cmux.swift. client.sendV2 is synchronous and waits in SocketClient.send for the socket response, so this materially expands a blocking wait. The repository rule allows unchanged blocking code, but this change worsens it. The new app-side async/await request coordination uses explicit task completion and does not add a listed blocking primitive.

Resolution

Revert the vm.destroy timeout increase to 60 seconds. If the longer provider operation window is required, refactor the CLI transport to use a non-blocking async or callback-based completion path instead of extending the synchronous socket wait.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The diff adds repeated unbounded filtering in hot UI update paths. MachinesPanelViewModel+MachineDeletion.swift:18-42 recomputes visibleCatalog on each view access, copies the snapshot, and scans five scalable collections. MachinesPanelView.swift:84-89 and :474-478 use that computed projection during panel/tree updates, with no cached derived snapshot, size bound, or measurement. CloudTreeDeletionPresentation.swift:38 also scans the full shown collection twice on every outline apply to partition machine rows. These paths can process about 1000 workspaces and their resources or projections, and the PR adds no benchmark or bound.

Resolution

Cache the filtered catalog projection using the catalog snapshot/version and hidden-machine set, or apply the hidden-machine index while constructing the shared snapshot so each UI update does not rescan and copy all catalog collections. In CloudTreeDeletionPresentation.update, replace shown.filter({ !$0.isMachineRow }) + shown.filter(\.isMachineRow) with one linear partition or reducer. Add a scale test or measurement for roughly 1000 workspaces and their projections before choosing any remaining repeated scans.

🟡 Minor · Filter hidden machines from vm.list. · VMClientSocketCommands.swift:47-50

Sources/Cloud/VMClientSocketCommands.swift:47-50
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Filter hidden machines from vm.list.

MachineDeleteCoordinator.begin hides the machine before the provider delete request completes. The app machine list filters hiddenMachineIDs after listPage() returns. The socket handler maps every page.vms entry, so cmux vm ls can show a machine that is already hidden during deletion.

Suggested fix

                 let page = try await VMClient.shared.listPage()

On CodeRabbit's outside-diff comment in this review, which asks to filter hidden machines out of the vm.list socket response: I'm leaving vm.list unfiltered on purpose.

• cmux vm ls prints its plan meter ("%1$d of %2$d machines on the %3$@ plan", CLI/cmux.swift:5668) from the count of vm.list entries. The backend counts a machine against the plan until its delete finishes, so filtering would make the meter show fewer machines than the limit the backend enforces while a delete is in flight.
• vm.list is the provider's view for scripts. If a machine ever survives a delete the backend reported as done, the app keeps it hidden for the account, and cmux vm ls is how someone finds it.

The PR body lists socket vm.list under "Left unfiltered" in the trade-offs. The app's lists, the ＋ menu and the pickers all omit the machine.

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.

On the four failed pre-merge checks in CodeRabbit's summary, which it last ran on 9a6f052:

• Cmux Swift Concurrency and Cmux Architecture Rethink both flag the runLater task. f013f1e removed it, as described in the thread reply. A cleanup's machine now detaches when its vm.destroy request starts, through an explicit .awaitingRequest → .pending transition in CloudMachineDeletionCoordinator, with no scheduler or task. The request comes from the cleanup's own CLI process, so it always reaches the app after the transition that closed the create's card.

• Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime (the vm.destroy CLI wait going from 60 to 120 s): kept. The wait blocks only the short-lived cmux CLI process, which waits for its reply by design, never the app. The app side is async and runs on the main actor. Other VM commands already wait as long or longer on the same synchronous transport: vm.desktop_open 120 s, vm.pause/vm.resume 180 s, and vm new, snapshot, fork and restore use vmCreateResponseTimeoutSeconds, which is 16 minutes. At 60 s, a single request that URLSession times out at 60 s raced the CLI's own deadline, so the CLI could report failure while the app restored or retired the row later. 120 s covers one timed-out request. The PR body states that a delete with 429 retries can still outlast it. Moving the CLI to an event-driven socket transport would change every CLI command and is out of scope here.

• Cmux Algorithmic Complexity: kept, with no benchmark. The filters are single passes of set lookups, and they run only once a machine is hidden, since an empty hidden set returns the snapshot unchanged. The same paths already do the same order of work:

  • MachinesPanelView.swift:85 passes visibleCatalog straight into applyingDeviceVisibility, which filters machines, resources and projections the same way.
  • CloudTreeOutlineView.apply already flattens both trees and computes structure and content signatures over every node before it can skip the update.
  • The tree presentation's new work is one more pass over previous, split into workspace rows then machine rows.

  None of this changes the complexity class, so I didn't add a snapshot cache with its own invalidation. I couldn't measure it, because this PR's rules don't allow local builds. Caching the projection in the view model is a reasonable follow-up if a profile shows it.

• Docstring coverage (warning): left as is. The new code follows the surrounding comment density, and most of the functions without docstrings are tests and private helpers.
