fix(cloud): keep idle row clicks available

[teamleaderleo]

Problem

Cloud machine rows put a transparent SwiftUI hover-controls host over the trailing part of the row. Because transparent views still hit-test in AppKit, idle clicks could be swallowed instead of opening the row.

Change

Hide the hover-controls host until the row is hovered. The row keeps its full click target at rest, while hover controls remain available when the pointer enters the row.

Validation

• Added a runtime regression test for the idle trailing click target.
• swiftc -parse Sources/Cloud/CloudTreeCellView.swift
• git diff --check
• Two commits preserve the failing-test-then-fix history.

---

Summary by cubic

Fixes idle clicks on cloud machine rows being swallowed by a transparent hover-controls overlay, so the row keeps its full click target at rest while hover controls still appear on pointer entry. Also prevents cell reuse from leaving stale hover controls on rows that have no buttons, and keeps the Displays affordance inert until guest discovery confirms the machine can accept a new display.

• Hides the hover-controls host until the row is hovered.
• Hides hover controls when a reused cell displays a row without buttons.
• Guards display creation so the visible but unavailable affordance never dispatches.
• Adds runtime regression tests for the idle trailing click target, reused cells, and inert display actions.

^{Written for commit 1b3e2de. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Hover controls now appear only while a row is hovered and are hidden for rows without controls.
  • Idle or stale hover controls no longer interfere with row clicks.
  • Display creation actions no longer run when creation is unavailable; the unavailable affordance and its message remain visible.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cloud tree hover controls are hidden when idle and shown for hovered rows that have controls. Display creation actions run only when creation is available. Tests cover action dispatch, hit testing, and cell reuse.

Changes

Cloud tree controls

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Hover-control visibility Sources/Cloud/CloudTreeCellView.swift, cmuxTests/CloudTreeMachineMenuTests.swift	The controls host stays hidden when the row is idle or has no hover buttons. Tests check hit testing while idle and visibility after a cell is reused for a buttonless row.
Display creation availability Sources/Cloud/CloudTreeRowHoverButtons.swift, cmuxTests/CloudTreeMachineMenuTests.swift	The Displays pool button dispatches creation only when canCreate is true. A test checks that unavailable creation does not dispatch and available creation dispatches once.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: austinywang

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 18075

The idle-click regression test may pass without confirming the row receives the trailing click. Correct the test’s coordinate conversion and require a hit; this is a bounded test-confidence issue, not evidence of a current production failure.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 18075

The change narrows when display creation can start without an observed expansion of privileges or weakening of access checks. The main uncertainty is recovery behavior after discovery reports creation unavailable.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new eligibility helper can suppress an existing row-selected machine callback but does not introduce a new destination, credential source, or privileged operation. Stale availability that admits a call still encounters downstream checks.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Creation validates destination ownership before and after resource creation. The catalog serializes creation per machine, clears its active marker with defer, and checks cancellation and provider identity. The provider checks support and current registration and rejects results from an obsolete lifecycle.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, behavior change, and validation, but it does not use the required Summary, Testing, Changelog, Demo Video, and Checklist sections. It also does not provide the required UI demo or completed checklist information.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Move the problem and change into Summary, list tests run and their results under Testing, add a present-tense Changelog line, include a demo video or screenshots for the UI behavior, and complete or explicitly address each applicable checklist item.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The diff adds private var showsHoverButtons in CloudTreeCellView and copies CloudTreeRowHoverButtons.hasButtons(for: node.kind) into it. The row kind is the existing source of truth, but the new mutable cache becomes a second owner that hovered.didSet reads. It can diverge across reuse or model updates, so stale hover controls remain representable. This matches the rule against new mutable flags that duplicate model-owned state. The other changes add no timing, blocking, observer, lock, or delayed-dispatch repair path.

Resolution

Remove the mutable showsHoverButtons cache. Derive the value from configuredNode?.kind through a computed property or a single cell-owned presentation update that always reads the current node. Use that same derived value in hovered.didSet and configure, and clear configuredNode before reuse cleanup so the hidden-state invariant is enforced from one source of truth.

Review: Codex review found one P2 stale-cell reuse issue. Fixed: hover controls are now gated by both hover state and the current row kind, with a reuse regression test; idle overlays are hidden so trailing row clicks reach the outline. Left: AppKit runtime tests require the macOS CI lane; Swift parse and diff checks pass.

[teamleaderleo]

Follow-up in 1807591: the Displays hover \u002b now keeps the unavailable affordance inert while guest discovery is pending, so it cannot start a create operation that will fail. Added a regression test for unavailable/available dispatch.
