Lawrence asked to make sure agent communication can be disabled. This adds an off switch for cmux agent message at three levels.

What changes

  • Everywhere: new setting agentMessages.enabled (default true) in ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json and Settings > Automation > Agent Messages. When it is false, cmux agent message fails with "Agent messages are turned off (agentMessages.enabled is false).", nothing is stored, and every queued message moves to a new failed state with reason messages_disabled. Hooks stop receiving at once.
  • One agent: cmux agent messages off|on|status [<target>], defaulting to the caller's surface. The target resolves the same way as cmux agent message, so off <target> silences exactly the agent a send to it would reach. Sending to it fails with "Recipient surface:5 (title) has messages disabled." and nothing is queued. Messages already queued for it fail with recipient_disabled. The command palette has "Turn Off/On Agent Messages for This Tab" for the focused terminal.
  • One workspace: cmux agent messages off --workspace [<target>] covers every surface in the workspace (workspace_disabled).
  • New socket method agent.message.settings (read, or set with enabled). agent.message.send returns error codes messages_disabled, recipient_disabled or workspace_disabled. agent.message.list --state failed works and the event bus publishes agent.message.failed. The Agent Inbox shows failed messages as "Not delivered" and a refused inbox reply shows the reason.
  • Docs: "Turning messages off" in docs/agent-messages.md, agentMessages.enabled in docs/configuration.md, schema, settings skill reference, CLI contract.

Design choices

These are my choices; Lawrence owns the design and can change any of them.

  • One gate, in the store. AgentMessageStore.append checks the switch and opt-outs under its lock, so every entrypoint (socket send, Agent Inbox reply) is covered. CLI, socket and palette toggles all call AgentMessageCenter.setReceivingEnabled.
  • Failed is final. Turning messages back on does not resend failed messages; a sender learns about the refusal instead of the message arriving much later out of context.
  • Delivery checks the switch too. claim and the wake lease check the switches for each message under the same lock that marks it delivered or puts it on a lease, and fail it there if it is blocked. A toggle that lands after a sweep but before the claim fails the message; tests turn the switch off at that point for both paths. poll sweeps before counting. The global switch is a UserDefaults read, so a toggle that lands after that read but in the same call still counts as after the delivery.
  • A message a wake hook already showed stays delivered. The sweep skips messages on a live wake lease, because the hook has printed them to the agent; its acknowledgement records them delivered. If the lease expires unacknowledged, the next sweep or claim fails them.
  • Opt-outs live in the message journal as recipient records, so they survive restarts and compaction. Surface ids are stable across session restore only as far as panel ids are; an opt-out on a surface whose id changes is lost.
  • agent.message.settings is not on the cmux ssh relay allowlist. It changes local delivery for local objects and the remote flow does not need it. Deny is the default; a test asserts it.
  • The global switch is a settings key rather than a CLI verb; cmux config set agentMessages.enabled false works through the existing config command.
  • AgentMessageStore persistence moved to AgentMessageStore+Journal.swift (no behavior change) to stay inside the file length budget.

CPU, memory and disk

  • Idle CPU: no timers, polling or long-lived tasks are added. At launch the message store is opened once on a utility queue so the first command palette open does not replay the journal on main. The global switch is a UserDefaults read on each send and on each existing hook poll. A UserDefaults.didChangeNotification observer reads one Bool and sweeps the store only on the on-to-off transition.
  • Memory: two in-memory sets plus an ordered list of opt-outs, capped at 1,000 entries. When the cap is hit, the store first drops the oldest opt-out for a surface or workspace that is no longer open. If all are open it drops the oldest. Each drop goes to the journal and the log. The list of open surfaces and workspaces is built on main only when the store is already full, and turning messages off is the only action that builds it. Failed messages count toward the existing 2,000-message retention like read ones.
  • Disk: each toggle appends one line to the existing message journal. Compaction now also runs when toggles alone pass the existing 2,500-record threshold, so repeated toggling keeps the file bounded. A test toggles 5,000 times and checks the file stays under the threshold.

Localization audit

New and changed strings: the settings card (title, on/off subtitles, note), the two command palette titles, "Not delivered", the three send errors, the CLI output lines and cmux agent messages --help (including the paragraph on workspace targets without --workspace), the socket errors for scope, missing target and save failure, and the updated cmux agent inbox --help and state error (now listing failed). Each has entries in en, de, fr, ar, es, zh-Hant, zh-Hans, ko and ja in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, and the card strings also in the CmuxSettingsUI catalog. The one-line help synopsis agent messages [on|off|status] [<target>] [--workspace] is command syntax and has an identityLocales record. ./scripts/localize-changes and scripts/localization_catalog.py check report 0 parity errors. The schema description is English like the neighbouring keys; no web message keys changed.

Not in this PR

  • Pruning opt-outs when a surface or workspace closes. The store has no close hook today, and I did not check whether a reopened tab or a restored session keeps its old id. If it does, pruning on close would turn messages back on for an agent that comes back. The cap drops closed ids first instead.
  • A remote (cmux ssh) path to toggle messages; denied by default.
  • A tab context menu item: tab context menus live in the Bonsplit submodule, so the UI toggle is in the command palette and Settings.

Verification

CI on 1c17408: all 83 checks pass, including ci-status and macOS compile admission.

  • swift-package-tests:
    • "Agent message off switch" (CmuxAgentJournal) passes, including the lease race and the failed-only-from-queued tests;
    • RemoteRelayAgentMessageSettingsPolicyTests passes.
  • app-host unit tests (changed suites):
    • AgentMessageOffSwitchSettingsTests passes;
    • the CLI tests in CLIAgentMessageCommandTests pass, including the status line for a surface whose workspace is off.
    • An earlier attempt on 3da33b4 failed one unrelated test, testGrokStopFallbackCompletionsFireForTwoConcurrentThreads, and passed on rerun.
  • Fresh reviews of 9b59264 and of the fix commit a3a5486 approved; the verdicts are in the PR comments. Since then the branch has only merged main and put Resources/Localizable.xcstrings back in main's key order, with the same entries, so later merges from main stay clean.

New tests:

  • AgentMessageOffSwitchTests (CmuxAgentJournal):
    • global off refuses new messages and fails queued ones;
    • toggle and lease races;
    • per surface and per workspace;
    • persistence through reopen and compaction;
    • the opt-out cap;
    • a journal that stays bounded under toggling;
    • only queued messages can fail.
  • AgentMessageOffSwitchSettingsTests: cmux.json reaches the store's switch, and the error text names the recipient.
  • RemoteRelayAgentMessageSettingsPolicyTests.
  • Three CLI tests in CLIAgentMessageCommandTests.

Summary by cubic

Adds an off switch for cmux agent message at three levels: globally via the new agentMessages.enabled settings key (default true, also available under Settings > Automation), per agent, and per workspace. When a recipient's messages are off, sends fail with a clear reason, nothing is stored, and already-queued messages move to a new terminal failed state instead of being delivered.

Behavior

  • New agent.message.settings socket method and cmux agent messages [on|off|status] [<target>] [--workspace] toggle messages for one surface (default: the caller's) or a whole workspace.
  • agent.message.send now returns messages_disabled, recipient_disabled, or workspace_disabled error codes; the Agent Inbox shows blocked messages as "Not delivered" with the reason.
  • The command palette gains "Turn Off/On Agent Messages for This Tab" for the focused terminal.

Design notes

  • The failed state is final; re-enabling messages does not resend refused messages, so senders learn about the refusal immediately.
  • Opt-outs persist in the message journal (capped at 1,000 entries) and survive restarts and compaction.
  • agent.message.settings is not on the cmux ssh relay allowlist, so remote sessions cannot toggle messages.
  • Delivery re-checks the switch at poll and claim time, so a restart or a race with the toggle cannot deliver blocked messages.

Written for commit 61a56c5. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added global, per-agent, and per-workspace controls for receiving agent messages, available in Automation settings, the command palette, and the CLI.
    • Added cmux agent messages on|off|status and support for the failed inbox state.
  • Behavior Changes
    • Disabling messages blocks new deliveries and marks queued messages as failed. Failed messages are labeled “Not delivered” in the inbox.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for agent-message controls, delivery behavior, and configuration.

agentMessages.enabled (cmux.json and Settings > Automation) turns agent
messages off for all of cmux: sends fail with a clear error, nothing is
stored, and queued messages move to a new terminal `failed` state instead
of being delivered.

cmux agent messages off|on|status [<target>] [--workspace] turns messages
off for one surface (default: the caller's) or a whole workspace through a
new agent.message.settings socket method. The command palette offers the
same toggle for the focused terminal. All entrypoints share
AgentMessageCenter.setReceivingEnabled; sends to an opted-out recipient fail
naming the recipient, and its queued messages fail.

Opt-outs are stored in the message journal, capped at 1,000 entries, and
compacted with the messages. agent.message.settings is not on the remote
relay allowlist.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Agent messaging now supports global, surface, and workspace receiving controls. Blocked sends are rejected, and queued messages can enter a failed state. The socket API, CLI, Automation settings, and terminal command palette expose controls for these settings.

Changes

Agent message controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Delivery state, recipient controls, and journal
Packages/macOS/CmuxAgentJournal/Sources/CmuxAgentJournal/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxAgentJournal/Tests/CmuxAgentJournalTests/*
The store adds the failed state, recipient opt-outs, blocked-send errors, and journal persistence and compaction. It rejects sends to blocked recipients and fails queued messages when recipients are blocked. Tests cover delivery, opt-out retention, and persistence.
Global setting and in-app controls
Packages/macOS/CmuxSettings/Sources/CmuxSettings/Keys/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxSettingsUI/Sources/CmuxSettingsUI/Sections/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxSettingsUI/Sources/CmuxSettingsUI/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, Sources/AgentMessageCenter.swift, Sources/AgentInbox/*, Sources/CmuxSettingsFileStore+SupportedPaths.swift, Sources/KeyboardShortcutSettingsFileStore*, Sources/SettingsSearchIndex.swift, Sources/ContentView*, Sources/AppDelegate.swift, web/data/cmux.schema.json, skills/cmux-settings/*, tests/test_cmux_settings_supported_paths.py, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
The app adds and observes agentMessages.enabled, loads it from settings files, and provides controls in Automation settings and the terminal command palette. Inbox projections and labels handle failed messages. The settings schema and path tooling include the new setting.
Socket settings API and CLI
Sources/TerminalController+AgentMessageSettings.swift, Sources/TerminalController+AgentMessages.swift, Sources/TerminalController+Capabilities.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxRemoteWorkspace/Tests/*, CLI/*, cmuxCLITests/CLIAgentMessageCommandTests.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, scripts/localization-allowed-omissions.json, docs/cli-contract.md, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
The socket API reads and updates surface or workspace settings and returns status and failed message IDs. The CLI adds cmux agent messages with on, off, and status modes. Capabilities and execution policy include the API method. Tests cover CLI parameters and relay denial.
Inbox behavior and setting documentation
docs/agent-messages.md, docs/configuration.md, skills/cmux-settings/references/all-keys.md, web/data/cmux.schema.json, tests/test_cmux_settings_supported_paths.py
Documentation describes delivery controls, failed-message behavior, persistence, the settings API, CLI usage, and the global setting. The inbox help and validation strings include failed as an accepted state.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c174

Ordinary delivery paths enforce the new controls, and remote callers cannot change them. However, concurrent toggles or a storage failure followed by restart can allow previously rejected queued messages to become deliverable again, weakening the promised off-switch behavior.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Terminal rejection is not durable when its journal append fails. failLocked changes memory to failed and allows publication of that result while ignoring the write error. Without a later successful compaction preserving that state, restart can replay the original queued record. If messaging has been re-enabled before replay or claim, that previously rejected sender-controlled message can be delivered. Existing best-effort delivery persistence predates this PR, but applying it to the new permanent-rejection guarantee creates this concern. A still-active opt-out blocks the replayed message again.
  • Medium · security · inferred: Recipient disablement and queued-message rejection are separate serialized operations rather than one transition. setReceivingEnabled persists and applies the opt-out under the lock, releases it, and then runs failBlockedQueued. A concurrent enable can complete between those operations; the sweep then sees an enabled recipient and leaves its existing queue deliverable. This interleaving violates the documented guarantee that messages queued when disabled remain rejected after re-enabling. Delivery checks still enforce an opt-out while it remains active, and settings mutation is not available through the remote relay.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Controls and stored messages operate within a cmux installation, with global, workspace, and surface scopes. The new settings method is excluded from the remote relay allowlist, including for a remotely owned surface.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A sender's already queued content can survive a disable decision through either an overlapping enable before the rejection sweep or a lost failure record followed by restart and re-enable. Subsequent claim can then hand that content to the recipient's hook. This establishes a rejection-control gap, not demonstrated downstream code execution or privilege escalation. A currently active block still prevents new handoff.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Local settings requests accept explicit targets and caller-supplied surface/workspace identifiers, without a recipient-ownership authorization check in the handler. They use the existing local socket admission framework, which is unchanged against the reviewed base. The documented ability to target another local workspace is therefore treated as shared local automation authority, not newly established tenant isolation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The rejection sweep skips live deferred leases, treating their messages as already handed off. Acknowledgment after disable is intentional; expired unacknowledged leases become eligible for rejection at the next sweep or claim. Inspected tests cover these cases and disabling immediately before lease construction, providing counterevidence to an unconditional post-disable delivery concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make recipient disablement and rejection of its pre-existing queue one serialized, recoverable transition. Preserve durable rejection markers or explicitly report incomplete persistence before presenting rejection as permanent. Validate overlapping off/on operations and write-failure recovery through restart and re-enable.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 37.93% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 87 functions across 31 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

The PR adds private let optOutLogger = Logger(...) at Packages/macOS/CmuxAgentJournal/Sources/CmuxAgentJournal/AgentMessageStore+Recipients.swift:4 without nonisolated. CmuxAgentJournal uses Swift 6 mode, and this logger is used by the lock-backed store from socket and background delivery contexts. The declaration should not acquire unnecessary MainActor isolation. The store's @unchecked Sendable lock has a documented justification, and the SwiftUI card is an allowed MainActor UI type.

Resolution

Declare the logger as nonisolated private let optOutLogger = Logger(subsystem: "com.cmuxterm.app", category: "AgentMessages"). Keep the logger outside any MainActor-isolated declaration so AgentMessageStore can use it from its nonisolated synchronous methods.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The production diff adds NSLock in Sources/AgentMessageCenter.swift:153-182. AgentMessageEnabledObserver uses the lock to protect wasEnabled and the observer token while UserDefaults.didChangeNotification invokes callbacks on arbitrary threads. This is new manual-lock synchronization in runtime code. The comment explains callback threading, but it does not show why an actor cannot own the state, and the code is not a low-level platform bridge. The diff adds no other prohibited sleep, semaphore, main-queue sync, or delayed-dispatch primitive outside tests.

Resolution

Replace AgentMessageEnabledObserver's manual lock with actor-owned state or another documented serialized signal. Forward UserDefaults.didChangeNotification to that owner, let it serialize observer registration and the on-to-off transition, then invoke store.failBlockedQueued() after the transition. Keep the notification callback non-blocking.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

The PR adds a synchronous journal load to an interactive command-palette path. AgentMessageStore.init calls load(from:), which reads the full JSONL file with Data(contentsOf:), decodes every line, and may compact it. The new ContentView command-palette context call at line 7308 invokes AgentMessageCenter.isReceivingDisabled, which lazily initializes AgentMessageCenter.store and can run that load on the main actor. warmStoreOffMain() starts an asynchronous background load, but it is not awaited or guarded; the code comment states that a racing main-thread caller waits for the same load. The new agent.message.settings socket handler also directly accesses this lazily initialized store. This is not an allowed nil-cache fallback, and existing store call sites do not excuse the new command-palette and socket paths.

Resolution

Replace the lazy synchronous AgentMessageCenter.store initialization with an explicit off-main repository/cache loader. Interactive command-palette evaluation must read only a ready in-memory snapshot or a nil/disabled fallback and must never initialize or wait for journal replay. Socket handlers must await the background-loaded store through an async accessor, or return a defined not-ready result, without blocking the socket or main actor. Keep journal replay, full JSONL decoding, and compaction inside Task.detached or a background actor, then publish only the small cached result to MainActor.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The PR adds an unbounded full-message sweep to every socket poll. Sources/TerminalController+AgentMessages.swift:333 calls AgentMessageStore.poll, and the new Packages/macOS/CmuxAgentJournal/Sources/CmuxAgentJournal/AgentMessageStore.swift:378 calls failBlockedQueued(recipientSurfaceId:). That method scans order at AgentMessageStore+Recipients.swift:100 for every poll. Each candidate also calls isDeferredMessageReserved at line 104, which scans deferred leases and their message IDs, giving a worst case of O(M×L×Q) and O(M) even with no leases. The store retains all queued or delivered messages, so retainedMessageCount does not provide a bound for this path. The poll then performs another full collection filter at AgentMessageStore.swift:389; that scan existed in the base, but the new sweep worsens this hot socket path. At about 1000 user-owned records, repeated agent polling can hold the store lock and rescan the journal-sized collection on every event.

Resolution

Remove the sweep from poll; settings changes and store initialization already sweep blocked queued messages, while claimQueued and deferredMessages check the block under the delivery lock. If a poll-time sweep remains necessary, maintain a per-surface queued-message index and build one Set of reserved message IDs before scanning, instead of calling isDeferredMessageReserved inside the message loop. Add a measurement for the expected roughly 1000-record workload.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The diff introduces a prohibited legacy background queue in cmux-owned production code. Sources/AgentMessageCenter.swift adds warmStoreOffMain() with DispatchQueue.global(qos: .utility).async { _ = store }, and Sources/AppDelegate.swift calls it during launch. This is ordinary asynchronous store warming, not an AppKit, SwiftUI, XCTest, OS, or third-party callback boundary. The modernization policy explicitly flags new global/custom background queues for ordinary async work. The other new async code uses existing async/main-actor paths and does not change this finding.

Resolution

Remove the new DispatchQueue.global(...).async warm-up. Either accept the existing lazy store initialization or implement the warm-up as structured concurrency owned by the launch lifecycle: retain the task, await it from the startup operation, and cancel it when that operation ends. Do not leave an unowned fire-and-forget task or global dispatch queue.

The PR adds TerminalController.agentMessageSettings(params:) as nonisolated async without @concurrent (Sources/TerminalController+AgentMessageSettings.swift:20). TerminalController is @MainActor, and this new handler is dispatched through the socket-worker path (Sources/TerminalController+ControlSocketAsync.swift:251-261; the PR also adds agent.message.settings to the worker set). After its explicit v2MainAsync hops, it performs synchronous journal writes and possible compaction through AgentMessageCenter.setReceivingEnabled (AgentMessageStore+Recipients.swift:48-84, AgentMessageStore+Journal.swift:23-46, 87-120). Under NonisolatedNonsendingByDefault, the bare declaration does not guarantee that this file work leaves the caller's actor. Existing agent-message async methods are unchanged and are covered by the rule's existing-code allowance; this handler is newly introduced by the PR.

Resolution

Add the same compiler-gated concurrency boundary used by the nearby socket-worker helpers: #if compiler(&gt;=6.2) @concurrent #else @Sendable #endif immediately before nonisolated func agentMessageSettings(...). Keep target resolution and recipient enumeration inside the existing v2MainAsync @MainActor hops, and keep journal persistence outside those hops on the concurrent worker executor.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new agent.message.settings product API has a user-facing error path that exposes internal storage errors. When the message journal write fails, AgentMessageStore+Recipients.swift wraps the underlying error with String(describing: error). TerminalController+AgentMessageSettings.swift then returns that value in the API error body as data["reason"], and its generic catch also forwards String(describing: error) as the error message. The CLI reaches this API through cmux agent messages, so this is a concrete end-user path. These details can expose raw filesystem or journal implementation information, which violates the rule against internal errors and implementation details in API error bodies.

Resolution

Return a stable, product-level storage_failed message and omit or sanitize the reason field in the socket error body. Log the underlying persistence error only through private diagnostics. Replace the generic String(describing: error) response in the settings handler with a safe localized internal-error message.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR does not provide complete internationalization. New and changed entries in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings and Packages/macOS/CmuxSettingsUI/Sources/CmuxSettingsUI/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings contain only 9 locales (en, ar, de, es, fr, ja, ko, zh-Hans, zh-Hant), while each touched catalog already supports 20 locales. The missing entries are bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk. This affects new agent-message errors, CLI help, command-palette titles, settings text, and the changed failed-state/help strings. In addition, web/data/cmux.schema.json adds user-facing descriptions that the localized configuration page reads directly from the schema (property.description) instead of next-intl, with no corresponding entries in web/messages/ for the 20 locales in web/i18n/routing.ts.

Resolution

Add translated values for every changed/new key in both string catalogs for all 20 locales already present in each catalog. For the web schema, route the new descriptions through locale-specific message keys (or provide equivalent locale-specific schema data), add matching entries to every web/messages/*.json file listed by web/i18n/routing.ts, and ensure the configuration page renders the new section through those localized entries.

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

Explanation

The PR adds a test-observability seam to production source. Packages/macOS/CmuxAgentJournal/Sources/CmuxAgentJournal/AgentMessageStore.swift declares beforeDeliveryLockForTesting and invokes it from claimQueued and deferredMessages. The only external callers are the new tests, which assign closures to toggle the test switch immediately before locking. The member name explicitly matches the rule's …ForTesting failure condition.

Resolution

Remove beforeDeliveryLockForTesting and its production call sites from AgentMessageStore.swift. Move the race coordination into the test target, using @testable import CmuxAgentJournal and internal state or a test-side synchronization harness. Keep any required production state internal only when tests must observe it. If a real debug facility is required instead, isolate it in a dedicated debug file or folder. See #6452.

Read isEnabled() once per locked operation.

failBlockedQueued currently performs one UserDefaults read per queued message while holding lock. Capture the setting once after acquiring the lock and pass it to blockLocked.

The current app closure does not re-enter AgentMessageStore, so a deadlock is not established for current callers. Do not read the setting before locking: that can use a stale value if the operation waits for lock.

♻️ Suggested fix
-        return blockLocked(recipientSurfaceId: recipientSurfaceId, recipientWorkspaceId: recipientWorkspaceId)
+        let enabled = isEnabled()
+        return blockLocked(
+            recipientSurfaceId: recipientSurfaceId,
+            recipientWorkspaceId: recipientWorkspaceId,
+            enabled: enabled
+        )
...
         lock.lock()
+        let enabled = isEnabled()
         let at = now()
...
                   let block = blockLocked(
                       recipientSurfaceId: message.recipientSurfaceId,
-                      recipientWorkspaceId: message.recipientWorkspaceId
+                      recipientWorkspaceId: message.recipientWorkspaceId,
+                      enabled: enabled
                   ) else { continue }
...
-    func blockLocked(recipientSurfaceId: String, recipientWorkspaceId: String?) -> AgentMessageBlock? {
-        if !isEnabled() {
+    func blockLocked(
+        recipientSurfaceId: String,
+        recipientWorkspaceId: String?,
+        enabled: Bool
+    ) -> AgentMessageBlock? {
+        if !enabled {

Apply the same enabled capture inside AgentMessageStore.append after withLock acquires lock.

Move backlog cleanup out of lazy store initialization.

AgentMessageCenter.store runs failBlockedQueued() before returning the static let. That method holds AgentMessageStore.lock while it scans the full message order and appends one failure record for each blocked queued message. ContentView.openAgentInbox() can access the store synchronously, so a large backlog can stall the UI. Create the store and run cleanup from an explicit startup lifecycle instead of performing this work on first access. Register the settings observer there as well.

Keep cold journal loading out of the command-palette snapshot path.

When this is the first agent-message access, commandPaletteContextSnapshot can call AgentMessageCenter.isReceivingDisabled, lazily construct AgentMessageCenter.store, and synchronously replay the journal with Data(contentsOf:). If this snapshot runs on the main actor, the first palette open can block on journal size.

Initialize the store before the interactive palette path, or move the cold journal load off the main actor.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make --workspace without a target work outside a cmux surface.

The guard accepts scope == .workspace with only callerWorkspace set. The resolver also handles that case at Lines 120-122. In surface scope, a caller that has only workspace_id gets the missingSettingsTarget error. That outcome is correct.

In workspace scope with both IDs set, the resolver uses callerSurface and looks up the workspace with workspaceContainingPanel. Suppose the surface closed but CMUX_SURFACE_ID is still in the environment. The lookup returns nil, and the request returns not_found. The resolver does not fall back to callerWorkspace. The command then fails for a workspace that still exists.

Proposed fix
-        } else if let callerSurface {
+        } else if let callerSurface,
+                  scope == .surface || AppDelegate.shared?.workspaceContainingPanel(panelId: callerSurface, preferredWorkspaceId: callerWorkspace) != nil || callerWorkspace == nil {

Also applies to: 120-122

Update the workspace-scope resolver so a stale callerSurface does not prevent
using callerWorkspace when the workspace still exists. Preserve
callerSurface-based lookup when it resolves a workspace, and keep surface scope
requiring a valid target.

Dogfood tours of 1c17408f

sidebar-and-chrome-tour at 1c17408f: not run

skipped: CI built this head on a runner pool whose products the UI test Macs cannot load, and media never compiles one; gh workflow run pr-media.yml -f pr=&lt;n&gt; -f allow_compile=true does

Tours are picked by the paths globs in dogfood/scenarios/*.json; a Dogfood-tours: a, b line in the description picks them instead (none turns this off). Look at every frame before merging: a green tour only means no step failed.

Claim and the wake lease now check the off switches for each message
under the same lock that delivers it, so a switch turned off between
the old sweep and the claim fails the message instead of delivering it.

The sweep skips messages on a live wake lease: the hook has already
printed them, so the acknowledgement records them delivered. An
expired lease leaves them to the next sweep.

When the opt-out store is full, it drops an opt-out for a closed
surface or workspace first, writes the drop to the journal so replay
agrees, and logs it. The store is warmed off the main thread at
launch. CLI help and docs explain workspace targets and the four
message states.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the String(format:) call that uses a localized format string without an %@ check.

String(localized:defaultValue:) takes a String.LocalizationValue. The format "Messages to %@ are off." is a plain literal in the default value. The catalog entry may reorder or omit %@ in a translation. String(format: format, label) then reads label as a C vararg. A String passed as CVarArg with %@ works in Foundation on macOS. The call can still crash if a translation uses a different specifier, such as %d. Interpolate label inside the localized string instead. This removes the runtime format step.

Proposed fix
-        let format = payload["receiving"] as? Bool == false
-            ? String(localized: "cli.agentMessages.off", defaultValue: "Messages to %@ are off.")
-            : String(localized: "cli.agentMessages.on", defaultValue: "Messages to %@ are on.")
-        print(String(format: format, label))
+        if payload["receiving"] as? Bool == false {
+            print(String(localized: "cli.agentMessages.off", defaultValue: "Messages to \(label) are off."))
+        } else {

Remove the test hook from production source.

beforeDeliveryLockForTesting is a test-only member in a production Sources/ file. Its name matches the banned …ForTesting pattern. Production code never sets it, but claimQueued and deferredMessages call it on every delivery.

The property is also an unsynchronized var. Socket worker threads read it without holding lock, so a concurrent write is a data race.

The invariant under test is that the block decision happens under the same lock as the state transition. The isEnabled closure you inject can test this without a hook. In toggleBeforeClaimLockFails, make the closure return true on its first call and false afterwards. As an alternative, assert the behavior through blockLocked with @testable import.

…queued messages

`cmux agent messages status` for a surface now also reports when its
workspace has messages off, since such a surface receives nothing. The
socket reply gains `workspace_receiving` for surface targets.

A message can now only move to failed from queued, so one already shown
to its agent can never be recorded as failed, including on replay.

For cli.help.agents.messages, the omission configuration allows the CLI syntax to remain identical to the English source, but it still requires a catalog entry for every locale. Add real translations for the other 14 entries. Do not use copied English or placeholders for them.

Fresh review of 9b59264 (code read against origin/main, no local build). Verdict: approve. All six earlier findings are fixed:

  • the toggle and claim race: the switch is checked under the store lock that marks a message delivered, with tests toggleBeforeClaimLockFails and toggleBeforeLeaseLockFails;
  • a message failed after its lease was taken;
  • opt-out eviction, with replay agreeing;
  • the CLI help text;
  • "three states" in the docs;
  • the store warmed off the main thread at launch.

Also checked: the relay keeps agent.message.settings denied, the tests are wired in the pbxproj, the syntax stays within Swift 6.0, and all 9 locales are filled in for the new strings.

Fixed in a3a5486

  • cmux agent messages status reported "on" for a surface whose workspace had messages off, though a send to it fails with workspace_disabled. Now:
    • the socket reply has workspace_receiving for surface targets;
    • the CLI prints "Its workspace has messages off, so it receives none.", localized in 9 locales;
    • a CLI test covers it.
  • canAdvance allowed delivered or read to move to failed. Now only a queued message can fail, so one already shown to its agent never reads as failed, including on replay. A unit test covers it.
  • Documented that a workspace opt-out applies to the workspace a message was sent to.

Left

  • A queued message follows its surface's workspace at send time, so a surface that moves workspaces before delivery keeps the old workspace's setting. This is now documented. Re-resolving the surface's workspace at delivery time would put a main-thread lookup on the hook path. It is a follow-up if moves with queued messages turn out to matter.
  • The key order in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings differs from main. That is the output of the repository's per-key .xcstrings merge driver, which reproduces this merge byte for byte, and the same driver merges future edits per key. No keys from main are missing.
  • Turning the global switch off from Settings sweeps queued messages on the main thread, with one journal append per failed message. The queue is bounded, so this is a small one-time cost. Batching it is a follow-up.
  • Outside this PR: the Codex stop hook's mark_delivered_read path marks queued messages read rather than delivered (TerminalController+AgentMessages.swift:252-270, unchanged from main). This is for a separate fix.

Fresh review of the fix commit a3a5486 (code read, no local build). Verdict: approve, no findings.

  • canAdvance is used only in advance and in journal replay. Every path that fails a message goes through failLocked, and only with a queued message, so restricting failed to queued breaks nothing. That includes leases: a leased message stays queued until it is acknowledged.
  • The new string cli.agentMessages.workspaceOff parses and has all 9 locales.
  • statusSaysWhenTheSurfacesWorkspaceIsOff matches how the mock server answers.
  • The syntax stays within Swift 6.0.

CI on this head: the "Agent message off switch" suite passed. swift-package-tests fails only in CmuxFoundation (JumpToBottomAffordanceTests.swift does not compile) and CmuxSettings (CustomSidebarTemplateCatalogTests). This PR touches neither, and main fails the same job. macOS compile admission is still running.

Interpolate label into the localized string instead of calling String(format:) at runtime.

String(format:) applies a localized format string to label. A translation can contain a wrong specifier. Use String(localized:) with interpolation instead.

Add translations for every supported locale.

Line 607545 adds cli.help.agentMessages with translations for only nine locales. The catalog also supports bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and `uk. The same gap affects other new agent-message labels, help text, and errors. Users of those locales will not see localized text for these strings. Add translations for every supported locale to each new entry.

As per coding guidelines, “additions include complete translations for all existing locale codes in the touched catalog.” As per path instructions, the full-internationalization rule requires complete translations for every supported locale.

Handle stale surface context in workspace scope.

When scope == "workspace" and callerSurface no longer resolves, the current branch returns not_found without trying callerWorkspace. The CLI forwards both inherited IDs, so this can reject a valid workspace request.

Do not add an unconditional workspace fallback. CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID can be stale after a surface moves. Use it only when its association with the caller is authoritative; otherwise require an explicit target or fail closed.
