Summary

cmux capabilities now advertises socket methods that are already dispatched and used by the CLI:

  • Cloud VM environment, file delivery, pause/resume, reflection, snapshots, and terminal output/wait-exit
  • Browser profiles and browser import
  • Workspace move, status, and todo operations
  • Notification feed operations
  • SSH session attach resolution

The existing capabilities regression now checks these public method families, preventing future omissions from silently breaking capability-aware Cloud agents and scripts.

Closes #15646.

Testing

  • swiftc -parse Sources/TerminalController+Capabilities.swift
  • swiftc -parse cmuxTests/TerminalControllerSocketSecurityTests.swift
  • python3 scripts/verify-local.py --affected mf/main
  • git diff --check

Changelog

Capability discovery now matches the dispatched Cloud and CLI socket surface.

Summary by cubic

Advertises already-dispatched socket methods in cmux capabilities so capability-aware Cloud agents and scripts no longer reject valid operations. Adds a CI guard that fails when a public dispatcher method is missing from capability discovery.

  • Expands advertised coverage to mobile workspace changes, terminal scroll/mouse and image paste, status cycling, workspace groups, layout/canvas/remotes, browser profiles/import, and more.
  • Adds check-socket-capabilities.py with pytest coverage in the quality-determinism CI group, including regression tests that prevent future exclusions of advertised methods.
  • Keeps an explicit allowlist of internal debug, test, and simulator methods that intentionally stay unadvertised.
  • Gates mobile workspace changes discovery on its feature flag, matching the mobile host capability snapshot.

Closes #15646.

Written for commit 8838074. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Capability discovery now includes mobile workspace file changes, image paste, terminal scrolling and mouse input, status cycling, and workspace group actions.
    • It also reports support for VM pause and resume, snapshots, environment settings, file uploads, terminal output and exit waiting, SSH session attachment, workspace status and todo operations, remote and layout management, canvas operations, notification feeds, browser profiles, and cookie and dialog imports.
    • Existing advertised capabilities remain available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The v2 capability list now includes additional socket method names. The heartbeat test expects the expanded set. A new guard compares public dispatcher methods with advertised capabilities, and CI runs the guard.

Changes

Socket v2 capability discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add and verify advertised methods
Sources/TerminalController+Capabilities.swift, cmuxTests/TerminalControllerSocketSecurityTests.swift
The capability list adds mobile, VM, SSH session attachment, workspace, remote, layout, canvas, notification feed, and browser method names. The heartbeat test expects the expanded set.
Check advertised methods against dispatchers
scripts/check-socket-capabilities.py, tests/test_ci_socket_capability_guard.py, .github/workflows/ci-guards.yml, tests/test-execution.toml
The checker compares public dispatcher methods with capability methods, including conditional lists and optional simulator methods. Tests cover parity and compound case labels. CI runs the guard, and the test is registered in the linux-guard lane.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66962

The expanded capability catalog has no demonstrated runtime defect. Merge is reasonable with follow-up to execute the regression tests and protect the three advertised mobile methods against future omissions.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66962

The expanded method list does not itself grant additional permissions. The main concern is an inconsistent public-support contract: three newly advertised terminal-control methods are also classified as intentionally internal.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · observed: The public discovery catalog now includes mobile.terminal.paste_image, mobile.terminal.scroll and mobile.terminal.mouse, but the new parity policy explicitly classifies these names as internal and intentionally unadvertised. Because the checker only detects missing public advertisements, it accepts this conflicting visibility contract for terminal-mutating operations. This is a public-contract inconsistency, not a demonstrated authorization bypass.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported exposure change is discoverability: capability-aware callers can now select additional existing operations. For the inspected terminal aliases, execution authority remains governed by the existing socket and mobile paths. Actual downstream adoption or increased usage was not established, and unrelated mobile methods remain filtered from remote-workspace discovery.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The socket client loop checks authorization generation and client admission before processing commands. Admission delegates to the configured access policy, peer identity and capability authority; password mode additionally requires authentication. Adding a discovery name does not satisfy these checks.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The existing terminal input ledger handles duplicate, gap and mismatched deliveries before mutation. Image delivery acknowledges completion or rejection, while queue-full remains retryable. These transition controls are shared by the advertised aliases; discovery does not replace them.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Resolve whether the three mobile terminal aliases are public or internal, align the catalog and exclusion set with that decision, and reject advertisements of methods deliberately designated private. This would enforce the visibility policy without treating discovery as an authorization mechanism.
