fix(cloud): update machine rename optimistically

[austinywang]

Summary

• Project a submitted cloud machine label into the right sidebar immediately.
• Keep the stable machine ID as the mutation target and refresh authoritative state after the CLI completes.
• Cover label projection and generated-name presentation behavior.

Testing

• python3 scripts/verify-local.py
• git diff --check
• Swift package test attempted; blocked because the local checkout lacks GhosttyKit.xcframework binary contents.

Changelog

• Fixed: cloud machine renames now update the right sidebar optimistically.

Impact map

• Source of truth and owner: MachinesPanelViewModel.machines, updated through MachineSnapshotBuilder.applyingLabel.
• Direct callers and sibling entrypoints inspected: MachineRowActions.bound, MachinesPanelView, shared Cloud machine menu actions.
• Cross-surface effects: only the Machines panel supplies the optimistic callback; the shared menu keeps authoritative refresh behavior.
• Tests and evidence: package presentation tests and local static verification.
• Residual risk: a rejected command is visible optimistically until the completion refresh restores the authoritative label.

Mergeability

• Base SHA: 9d19a4c
• Head SHA: 2e3aea5
• Conflict-only gate: pass, no conflicted paths

Summary by cubic

Projects a submitted Cloud machine rename into the right sidebar immediately, before the authoritative refresh returns. The rename still targets the stable machine ID, and the completion refresh replaces the optimistic label if the command was rejected.

Behavior

• The optimistic label persists in the sidebar until an authoritative list response confirms the same value, then it is dropped.
• Whitespace-only rename input clears the machine's label in the sidebar; the rename prompt falls back to the generated slug.
• The Cloud Machines section stays in a refreshing state while the optimistic rename is in flight and clears once the command completes or fails.

^{Written for commit 853274d. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Machine names now update immediately after a rename is submitted, while the rename is processed.
  • Blank or whitespace-only labels display the machine’s generated name.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Machine rename actions now apply the submitted label to the matching machine snapshot before the rename command completes. Empty trimmed labels are passed as nil. The panel tracks rename completion, and tests cover matching machine IDs and whitespace-only labels.

Changes

Machine Rename

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Snapshot label updates Packages/macOS/CmuxCloud/Sources/CmuxCloud/Machines/MachineSnapshot.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxCloud/Sources/CmuxCloud/Machines/MachineSnapshotBuilder.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxCloud/Tests/CmuxCloudTests/CloudMachineRenamePresentationTests.swift	MachineSnapshot.label is mutable. The builder updates the label only for the matching machine ID. Tests cover matching IDs and whitespace-only labels.
Rename callback and optimistic update Sources/Cloud/MachineRowActions.swift, Sources/Cloud/MachinesPanelView.swift, Sources/Cloud/MachinesPanelViewModel.swift	After confirmation, the rename callback receives the trimmed label or nil before the rename command starts. The panel connects the callback to the view model, which updates the matching snapshot and tracks rename completion. The Cloud refresh indicator remains active during an optimistic rename. Pausing polling clears the rename state.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37e76

The submitted label may briefly revert during a rename. The rename itself still proceeds, so this is a bounded presentation risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 37e76

The rename still targets the selected machine’s stable ID and uses existing authentication. The new behavior changes presentation, not access or authority. Failed or overlapping operations can leave the displayed name out of sync, but no material security risk was identified in the reviewed change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new projection is bounded to the ID-matching machine in the current panel’s snapshot array. It does not select another asset by submitted name or introduce a new mutation endpoint; the shared menu does not adopt the optimistic path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The native launcher retains its authentication check and passes arguments directly to Process rather than interpreting the submitted label through a shell. The PR leaves command construction unchanged. Flag-like label handling is an existing CLI parsing behavior, not a newly introduced trust transition.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The diff adds @Published private(set) var isRenamingMachine to MachinesPanelViewModel for app presentation state. This materially expands Combine-based state in the changed code. The app targets macOS 14 and already uses Observation/@Observable, so the modernization rule applies. The other changed async-related code uses synchronous callbacks at an AppKit/CLI launcher boundary, which the rule allows.

Resolution

Track the rename presentation state with Swift Observation (@Observable) and update the SwiftUI owner to observe that state, instead of adding a new @Published property. If migrating the existing view model is out of scope, place the new state in an Observation-backed presentation model.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

The PR adds new SwiftUI-observed state using @Published. MachinesPanelViewModel is an ObservableObject owned by MachinesPanelView through @StateObject, and the new isRenamingMachine property drives the refresh indicator. The diff therefore expands legacy published state; this is not an incidental touch to existing state. The repository also uses @Observable and @State for modern SwiftUI models. No GeometryReader, lazy-row store reference, or render-time mutation violation appears in the reviewed changes.

Resolution

Move the new rename presentation state to the modern Observation shape. Convert MachinesPanelViewModel to @Observable and own it with @State in MachinesPanelView rather than adding @Published state to its ObservableObject/@StateObject pairing.

Restore the prior label when a rename is rejected.

MachineRowActions.launch discards Completion.succeeded and refreshes for every completion. If the rename is rejected and that list read fails, applyRefreshResult retains the optimistic label, so the sidebar can display a label the server rejected. When the signed-in Cloud panel is active, it polls every 45 seconds, but a later read corrects the label only if it succeeds. Restore the prior label on a failed completion if the row still has the optimistic value; keep the refresh for reconciliation.
