cmux ssh: security hardening from the ssh audit

[austinywang]

Summary

Follow-up to #15079 from a security audit of cmux ssh. This PR fixes these problems:

• Replayed clipboard reads (OSC 52). Reattaching to a persistent cmux ssh session replayed any OSC 52 ; … ; ? clipboard read that was still in the daemon's scrollback. The local terminal answered it again, sending the current clipboard to the remote host long after the program that asked had exited.

  • The replay filter now removes OSC 52 read queries, including ones split across chunks, with either BEL or ST terminators.
  • During reconnect, the input filter discards OSC 52 replies until their terminator. A read pause in the middle of a reply (longer than the pump's 25 ms timeout) no longer lets the rest reach the remote.
  • Clipboard writes and all other output pass through byte-identical.
  • Ask before a terminal reads the clipboard and share plain text only #15136 separately makes cmux ask before any terminal clipboard read; this PR doesn't touch that code.

• Daemon checksum pin. When a downloaded cmuxd-remote didn't match the SHA-256 in the app's embedded manifest, cmux fetched the live cmuxd-remote-manifest.json from the same GitHub release and accepted the binary if it matched that instead.

  • This let anyone who can write release assets swap both files and have clients upload the binary to their SSH hosts.
  • A mismatch now always fails, and the rejected file never reaches the cache.
  • The fallback is no longer needed: nightly daemon assets are per-build and published --immutable (nightly.yml:1191-1202, 1975-1981), and stable assets are immutable per tag (release.yml:652-655).

• Leftover credential script. cmux vm ssh wrote a startup script with the base64-encoded password into $TMPDIR, and it only deleted itself when run. It was never run, and so never deleted, when:

  • the pinned Cloud VM path replaced the startup command;
  • a pinned workspace was reused;
  • or workspace.create / workspace.remote.configure failed.

  The new SSHStartupLaunchScripts owns these scripts and removes any that no terminal takes over.

• Remote CLI relay. Three changes, so another user on the remote host can't take over or block the relay:

  • The relay now proves it knows the token. The remote Go CLI checked only the relay ID, which the relay sent before authentication. Another user on the remote host could bind the relay port while the forward was down and receive that user's cmux commands and Claude hook payloads. The CLI now sends a client_nonce, and the relay's success line carries relay_mac. That is an HMAC with the token over a server-proof label, the relay ID, both nonces and the version. The CLI verifies it with hmac.Equal before sending any command.
  • No credentials means no connection. The CLI also used to skip authentication entirely when a TCP relay address had no credentials file, which is the normal state after cleanup deletes <port>.auth. It now refuses.
  • Unauthenticated connections get their own limit. They used to count toward the 16-session cap and could each sit for 10 s, so any remote user could lock the relay out. They now have their own budget of 32, where the oldest is evicted first, and the pre-auth deadline drops to 5 s.
  • Version skew:
    • An older CLI talking to this app still gets {"ok":true} and keeps working.
    • A new CLI talking to an older app fails closed. Each relay port runs the daemon its own app uploaded, so that pairing needs two app versions sharing one host.
  • The /tmp Cloud CLI bridge socket check from the audit was already on main (Consolidate SSH security, shim hardening, and restored terminal replay fixes #15116).
  • The macOS CLI checks the relay too. The macOS CLI, used when the remote host is a Mac, does the same handshake: it sends a client nonce and requires relay_mac before sending any command. It also refuses an empty token. The MAC construction, hex and constant-time helpers now live in CmuxFoundation (RemoteRelayAuthentication, RemoteRelayClientHandshake), which the app's relay and the CLI both use, so they can't drift.
  • Constant-time token check. The PTY bridge now compares its token in constant time.

• A daemon can no longer silently swallow keystrokes. Input forwarding waited until the daemon's declared replay_bytes had arrived, so a daemon that declared more than it sent left the pane showing output while dropping every keystroke. Past the 1 MiB fingerprint buffer, up to 1 MiB of held replay output was also discarded.

  • The replay phase now ends after 2 s without output, or 15 s after ready, whichever comes first (SSHPTYAttachReplayDeadline). Buffered replay is then flushed, and input forwarding starts.
  • Overflowing the buffer now forwards the held bytes in order instead of dropping them.
  • The protocol has no "live output starts here" marker, so the bound is a deadline.

• Relay callers no longer get the local window. workspace.remote.status and the three workspace.remote.terminal_session_* responses returned the local window_id and window_ref to relay callers. The remote object was already narrowed to enabled, state and connected. These responses now omit the window fields when the request carries the relay marker, the same check workspace.list uses. No remote caller reads them: the Go daemon never calls these methods, and the startup scripts discard the responses. surface.list still returns window_id, because the daemon reads it (agent_launch_context.go:139).

• npm bootstrap verifies what it installs. Published builds installed the remote binary with npx --yes cmux@<version> install-self. That ran npm install scripts and trusted only the binary's self-reported probe, so anyone able to publish that package version got code execution on every bootstrapped host.

  • package_npm.py now writes bin/cmux-tui-ssh/manifest.json into each platform package, with the SHA-256 of all four remote binaries and the build commit. The package contract checks every digest against the packaged binary.
  • When the local build has that manifest, the remote fetches only its platform package with npm pack --ignore-scripts into a private 0700 staging directory. It extracts and hashes the binary with sha256sum, shasum or openssl, deletes it on a mismatch, and probes it before moving it into place.
  • Builds without the manifest keep npx … install-self, now with --ignore-scripts. That covers PyPI wheels and custom builds, which still trust npm plus the probe. Dev and source builds still upload their own binary.

• A squatted /tmp no longer blocks the Rust remote runtime. Another user who pre-created /tmp/cmux-r-<uid> or /tmp/cmux-rd-<uid> made startup fail, because the ownership checks correctly rejected them. Those paths are still preferred with the same checks. When they fail, the client and daemon use a fresh random 0700 sibling, recorded in the session's private state so remote-link, remote-stop and status find it.

• Review fixes (pre-merge review of this PR):

  • The replay deadline now only releases keystrokes. Queries arriving late in the replay are still stripped, capped at 1 MiB (the daemon's defaultWebSocketScrollbackCap, ws_pty.go:100), so a lying daemon can't strip queries from live output indefinitely.
  • A stop request while an OSC 52 reply is mid-discard no longer forwards the rest of the reply. Only the 2 s reconnect deadline (stopFilteringAtDeadline) abandons it.
  • Remote bootstrap scripts run as sh -c '<script>', so remotes whose login shell is fish or tcsh work.

• CI fixes for failures also present on main:

  • processTreeTerminationUsesOneOverallDeadline now counts processes by real uid, which is what RLIMIT_NPROC charges. The setuid /usr/bin/login behind every terminal was missed before, putting the cap below the live count.
  • test_hermes_wrapper_hooks.py runs its freshly written fixture executables once before the timed launch, so macOS's first-exec check no longer eats the 5 s guard. The guard is unchanged.

• CodeRabbit review fixes:

  • The route-specific socket digest includes the destination alias, because ssh -G leaves %n unexpanded in ProxyCommand.
  • The replay deadline discards a partial reconnect prefix when a retry is pending.
  • Credential launchers are created with O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW at mode 0o700.
  • The npm digest is read from a cmux-sha256 marker line.
  • A stale socket-dir record is replaced only under an owner-only lock.
  • The Hermes priming step tracks its fixtures explicitly.

• Separate connections for differently configured routes. cmux-owned ControlMaster sockets were named <private dir>/%C, and %C ignores IdentityAgent, ForwardAgent, IdentitiesOnly and similar options.

  • Two routes to the same user@host:port that differed only in those shared one master. A session meant for a restricted agent could ride a master authenticated with another, for up to ControlPersist.
  • These options are now route-sensitive: IdentityAgent, IdentitiesOnly, PKCS11Provider, SecurityKeyProvider, ForwardAgent, ForwardX11Trusted and ProxyUseFdpass. They join ProxyCommand, IdentityFile and host-key policy, which already were.
  • A route-sensitive connection gets a socket named from a SHA-256 of its resolved ssh -G configuration. The name is 40 hex characters like %C, so the path fits the same length budget and every recognizer and cleanup pattern still matches.
  • Routes with ProxyCommand or IdentityFile now share a master per route instead of not sharing at all.
  • If ssh -G fails, cmux can't see ssh_config route options and falls back to %C.

Not in this PR:

• cmux vm ssh host-key checking (StrictHostKeyChecking=no, UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null) needs the backend to return the gateway's host key. SSHEndpoint has no such field today. Once it does, the CLI can pin the key the way CMUXCLI+VMSCP.swift already does.

The PTY bridge constant-time change (632e8fc) has no red commit, because timing isn't observable in a unit test. Its tests pin that a token differing in the last byte, a prefix and an extension are all refused.

Wider runs on the combined branch (through 8f57994):

• CmuxFoundation, full package: 570 tests. Two timing-sensitive process tests failed while several builds were running on the machine:
  • processTreeTerminationUsesOneOverallDeadline fails on origin/main too;
  • CommandRunnerDescriptorLifecycleTests passes when run on its own.
• CmuxRemoteWorkspace, full package: 176 tests pass.
• CmuxControlSocket, full package (fixer's run): 537 Swift Testing tests pass.
• ./scripts/lint-ios-package-conventions.sh: OK.
• cmux-tui: cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy -p cmux-remote -p cmux-tui --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings are clean.
• cmux-tui: the full cmux-remote suite passes (519 unit tests plus the integration tests).
• cmux-tui: the full cmux-tui suite has flaky app::tests UI failures and two others that also fail on the base commit.
• tests/test_tui_package_contract.py and tests/test_tui_npm_package_artifact.py pass.
• go test ./... -count=1 in daemon/remote: ok.
• python3 scripts/verify-local.py --swift-changed origin/main: 16/16 checks pass.

Not verified locally:

• Compilation of the CLI/ and CmuxRemoteSession call sites and the CLI test fixtures. Native compilation hasn't run locally; PR CI's macOS compile covers them.
• The real stdin pump across a read gap. The read-gap test copies what the pump does when its 25 ms timeout fires (CLI/SSHPTYAttachReconnectInputFilter.swift); no test drives the real pump.
• The mosh fallback launcher is still left behind when mosh connects (not addressed here).
• A live cmux ssh session. Not dogfooded yet. That includes a real npm pack against the registry, a real release run through the updated packaging job, and the /tmp fallback on a multi-user host.

Relay authorization

No allowlist entries are added, and RemoteRelayCommandPolicy is unchanged.

• Local command and content execution: unchanged. Every forwarded command still goes through the default-deny policy and the app's ownership checks. The relay only adds a MAC to its success line.
• Access to objects the session doesn't own: unchanged. The new budgets only decide which connections are admitted and when they close.
• Local-state exposure: reduced. Relay callers no longer get the local window UUID or window ref from status and lifecycle responses. Nothing new is revealed before authentication. relay_mac is sent only to a client that has proven it holds the token. The label keeps it from matching or being reflected as a client MAC.

Changelog

Fixed: Reattaching to a cmux ssh session no longer sends your clipboard to the remote host in answer to an old clipboard request, and other users on the remote host can no longer intercept or block your cmux commands there

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update SSH startup scripts, route-specific SSH sockets, PTY replay and reconnect filtering, relay authentication, remote response fields, remote daemon verification, TUI SSH bootstrap, and runtime socket resolution. Test fixtures and package manifests also change.

Changes

SSH startup and PTY handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Launch script lifecycle Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHStartupLaunchScripts.swift, CLI/CMUXCLI+SSHStartupScripts.swift, CLI/cmux.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHStartupLaunchScriptsTests.swift	The shared manager writes launch scripts and tracks them for handoff or cleanup. The CLI passes the manager through startup construction.
Route-specific SSH control paths Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHConnectionSharingOptions.swift, CLI/cmux.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHConnectionSharingOptionsTests.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHRouteSpecificControlPathTests.swift	Resolved SSH configuration supplies route identity for sensitive settings. The options merger uses valid identities for route-specific sockets.
PTY replay and reconnect filtering Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHPTY*, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHPTYReplayOutputFilter.swift, CLI/cmux.swift, CLI/SSHPTYAttachReconnectInputFilter.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHPTY*Tests.swift	Replay has idle and total deadlines, bounded query filtering, and ordered overflow delivery. Reconnect filtering discards OSC 52 replies through their terminator, including during shutdown.

Remote relay authentication and admission

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared authentication and client handshake Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/RemoteRelay/*, CLI/cmux.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Sources/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/PTYBridge/RemotePTYBridgeSession.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/RemoteRelayClientHandshakeTests.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Tests/CmuxRemoteWorkspaceTests/RemotePTYBridgeServerTests.swift, cmuxCLITests/*	Shared helpers calculate MACs, decode relay hex, and compare values. The client validates relay challenges and proofs before sending requests.
Relay server admission and Go CLI authentication Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Sources/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Relay/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Tests/CmuxRemoteWorkspaceTests/RemoteCLIRelayServerTests.swift, daemon/remote/cmd/cmuxd-remote/*, daemon/remote/README.md	The macOS relay returns proofs for nonce-bearing clients and tracks pending and authenticated sessions separately. The Go CLI requires credentials for TCP relays and verifies relay proofs.

Remote workspace response fields

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Caller-specific lifecycle responses Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Coordinator/Workspace/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Tests/CmuxControlSocketTests/ControlCommandCoordinatorRemoteRelayNarrowingTests.swift, skills/cmux-socket-policy/references/remote-relay-authorization.md, daemon/remote/README.md	Status and terminal-session responses omit window_id and window_ref for relayed callers. Local responses include those fields.

Remote daemon checksum verification

Layer / File(s)

Summary

Embedded manifest download flow Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Sources/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Manifest/RemoteDaemonManifestRepository.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteSession/Sources/CmuxRemoteSession/Session/RemoteSessionCoordinator+Bootstrap.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Tests/CmuxRemoteWorkspaceTests/RemoteDaemonManifestRepositoryTests.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Tests/CmuxRemoteWorkspaceTests/RemoteDaemonBundledAssetsTests.swift

Downloads are checked against the embedded manifest entry. A mismatch deletes the downloaded file and throws error code 28. The live-manifest checksum fallback is removed.

TUI SSH bootstrap integrity

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pinned artifact metadata and package manifests cmux-tui/crates/cmux-remote/src/ssh_artifacts.rs, tests/test_tui_npm_package_artifact.py, tests/test_tui_package_contract.py, .github/workflows/cmux-tui-build-package.yml, cmux-tui/docs/remote.md	Platform packages include manifests with build identity and binary SHA-256 digests. Package validation checks that packaged binaries match those digests.
Verified package installation and remote shell execution cmux-tui/crates/cmux-remote/src/ssh_bootstrap.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-remote/tests/ssh_cross_platform_bootstrap.rs	The bootstrap extracts and hashes pinned package binaries before promotion. It runs remote scripts through sh -c and cleans staging after failures.

TUI runtime socket resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Private short-path selection and persistence cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/remote_runtime.rs	Client and daemon sockets use recorded private directories when preferred paths do not fit or are unusable. Tests cover fallback validation and reuse.

Test harness updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Fixture priming and process test checks tests/test_hermes_wrapper_hooks.py, Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Tests/CmuxFoundationTests/SSHForegroundAuthenticationRetryPolicyTests.swift	Hermes wrapper fixtures run a priming invocation before timed launches. The process retry test requires a valid real-UID process count and checks cleanup status.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ffcf7

No concrete merge-blocking issue remains in the supplied changes. Replay suppression preserves the distinction between historical and live terminal queries; normal build and integration checks should still complete before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ffcf7

The clipboard protections are stronger, but a recovery path can record discarded output as already delivered. A later reconnect can then hide those bytes, weakening trustworthy session recovery. Coverage of the other security-sensitive changes remains incomplete.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · inferred: On a managed reconnect with an incomplete, unvalidated prefix, the new replay timeout can discard the prefix because retry capability is enabled, then persist its byte count and fingerprint as delivered. Retry capability does not guarantee that another attempt will render it: the caller starts input forwarding and continues the same connection. A later reconnect can match that checkpoint and suppress bytes that were never shown. This breaks the recovery ownership invariant between received output and presented output, permitting silent loss of remote-session output, including warnings. The base checkpointed only completed replay.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The inspected attack path begins with control of persistent remote PTY output and reaches the attached local terminal's clipboard-response path. The recovery concern affects output visibility for the corresponding session and lifecycle checkpoint; broader tenant, host, or credential exposure was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — Oversized incomplete query candidates are still forwarded by the output filter's existing 4 KiB fail-open behavior. That behavior predates this PR. Whether the terminal accepts a corresponding oversized clipboard-read sequence was not established, so this is residual boundary coverage rather than a verified introduced vulnerability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — A recognized clipboard reply enters streaming discard mode and remains under filter ownership across ordinary stop requests and short continuation pauses. BEL or ST ends that discard. The explicit reconnect deadline instead abandons the reply and resumes later input, making the control time-bounded rather than unconditional.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Replay input holds have separate idle and total deadlines, and query filtering remains active for late historical bytes. These bound peer-controlled input blocking. Completed prefix validation and failed-validation tests provide counterevidence for normal execution, but do not resolve the discarded-prefix checkpoint mismatch.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Evaluate fail-closed handling specifically for oversized historical clipboard-read requests, separating sensitive query suppression from ordinary rendering preservation. This would address an inherited parser limitation, not an established regression.

Full details: Cmux Cloud Persistent Session And Early Input

Explanation

The reconnect transport drops authored input during remote attachment. The new OSC 52 discard state keeps filtering after stopFiltering() and discards bytes until BEL/ST or the reconnect deadline. The code explicitly documents that input typed before the deadline is discarded (SSHPTYReconnectInputByteFilter.swift:180-186). The attach pump continues routing stdin through this filter (SSHPTYAttachReconnectInputFilter.swift:170-176, 252-264). This violates the rule's requirement to preserve input order during attachment transitions. The behavior is introduced by this diff; the base implementation flushed incomplete bytes from stopFiltering() instead.

Resolution

Use ownership-aware framing or a separate terminal-response path so only terminal-generated OSC 52 reply bytes are discarded. Preserve and queue authored key bytes in order, then forward them to the current attached PTY after attachment. Do not treat all bytes after an unterminated OSC 52 prefix as discardable stdin.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

The PR introduces an actor-isolation error in ControlCommandCoordinator+WorkspaceRemoteLifecycle.swift. ControlCommandCoordinator is explicitly @MainActor and owns the mutable handles registry. The new addingLocalWindow method is therefore MainActor-isolated by default, but workspaceRemoteTerminalSessionLaunching and workspaceRemoteTerminalSessionConnected are nonisolated worker-lane methods that call it directly at lines 53 and 219. The helper also calls ref, which accesses handles, without a controlResolveOnMain boundary. This is a production background path with no explicit MainActor hop.

Resolution

Separate pure payload shaping from handle-registry access. Perform ref(.window, windowID) inside the existing context.controlResolveOnMain boundary, then pass the resulting JSONValue into an explicitly nonisolated helper, or bypass the helper for relayed responses that omit local window fields. Do not mark addingLocalWindow merely nonisolated while it still calls ref or touches handles. Ensure all worker-lane calls to handles and other UI-bound coordinator state remain inside an explicit MainActor boundary.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The PR adds a production polling wait in CLI/cmux.swift (ssh-pty-attach). Lines 15929–15941 call poll(&pollFD, 1, ...) inside the output while true loop and repeat until the replay deadline expires. This is new timing-based synchronization in a latency-sensitive terminal path. The base version performed the existing Darwin.read directly and had no replay polling loop. The change is not test-only scaffolding.

Resolution

Replace the replay poll loop with non-blocking readiness handling driven by an explicit file-descriptor readiness callback or async sequence. Combine that event with a cancellation-aware deadline event, and resume replay completion on either the readiness event, EOF/error, cancellation, or deadline transition. Do not coordinate the terminal path with a repeated blocking poll call.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new npm bootstrap error path reaches end users. remote_cli::run prints startup errors to stderr, and bootstrap_initial_ssh_route calls SshBootstrapper.ensure_installed. The changed BootstrapError::ChecksumMismatch displays npm package {package} and SHA-256 checksum, exposing an upstream service name and implementation details. The same path copies remote npm/shell stderr into BootstrapError::Install, whose display forwards it to the user as raw upstream output.

Resolution

Map package verification and install failures to generic cmux SSH messages. Do not include npm names, package identifiers, manifest or digest details, command output, or raw remote stderr in user-visible text. Keep diagnostics in sanitized internal logs. Include a short safe recovery action such as retrying the SSH connection or installing a matching cmux build.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds user-facing Swift CLI errors without localization. CLI/cmux.swift:3749-3751 returns Relay did not prove it holds the relay token; reconnect this SSH workspace and Failed to create relay authentication nonce as plain strings. These errors reach CLIError during relay authentication. The PR adds no localized API calls or catalog changes. Resources/Localizable.xcstrings has 20 supported locales, but contains no entries for these messages. The checksum hardening also leaves the newly enforced checksum-mismatch error as plain NSLocalizedDescriptionKey text in Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Sources/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Manifest/RemoteDaemonManifestRepository.swift:156-160.

Resolution

Route the new relay errors through String(localized:defaultValue:) with stable keys. Localize the checksum-mismatch description if this newly exposed failure remains user-visible. Add matching entries to Resources/Localizable.xcstrings for all 20 existing locales (ar, bs, da, de, en, es, fr, it, ja, km, ko, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant) with real translations.

Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source

Explanation

A test-only seam was added to production source. Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHStartupLaunchScripts.swift:36-42 adds the internal init(directory:fileManager:scriptName:) specifically so tests can force a predictable filename. The only caller is SSHStartupLaunchScriptsTests.swift, which uses it to preplace a symlink; no production caller exists. This violates the rule against test-only members in **/Sources/**.

Resolution

Remove the test-only scriptName initializer and its test-specific documentation from production source. Move the deterministic-name setup into the test target or a test-support module, using @testable import CmuxFoundation and the minimum private-to-internal widening needed for direct test observation. Keep the production initializer and generated naming behavior unchanged. Reference fix: #6452

🟡 Minor · Account for replay bytes suppressed before query… · SSHPTYAttachReplayOutputStream.swift:24-32

Packages/macOS/CmuxFoundation/Sources/CmuxFoundation/SSHPTYAttachReplayOutputStream.swift:24-32
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Account for replay bytes suppressed before query filtering.

On a persistent reconnect, SSHPTYAttachOutputProgress can remove a validated duplicate prefix before SSHPTYReplayOutputStream calls SSHPTYReplayOutputFilter.filter. The CLI still initializes the filter with the full bridgeReplayBytes value. The filter therefore retains a replay budget for bytes that it never receives. After the declared replay ends, a live terminal query within that remaining budget can be stripped.

Advance the filter boundary for each byte that progress suppresses. Apply the adjustment only after fingerprint validation succeeds. Keep the full budget when validation fails and the candidate is forwarded. This is separate from the partial-candidate retry-flush issue.
