Fixes a Cloud workspace row in the sidebar that stays blank (no machine name or directory) after its terminal finishes starting, as seen on a background workspace like fork-verify.

The sidebar hides a Cloud panel while its catalog terminal is missing or launching. The daemon reports readiness as a delta that repeats the same cwd, so the workspace's projection, machine names and directory are all unchanged, WorkspaceCloudBindingState never bumps its revision, and the row is never rebuilt. It stayed blank until something unrelated (selection, a cd) refreshed it.

Each projected panel's terminal lifecycle is now part of the workspace's Cloud catalog metadata, so a terminal row arriving or leaving launching fires the sidebar's Cloud observation. Identical updates still dedupe. Residual gaps from the review subagent, left for follow-up: (1) a panel with no cwd of its own falls back to another terminal's cwd on the same machine (acceptedMachineDirectory), and that input still does not wake the row; (2) the presentation reads lifecycle from the catalog while invalidation keys off the stored copy, so a future catalog write that skips updateCloudDirectoryMetadata (today upsert/remove, always followed by a projection or full install) could reopen this. Making the presentation read the stored lifecycle closes (2) but blanks rows whenever the stored copy lags, so it is not done here.

Supersedes #17376 (same Swift fix; that PR's regression test changed between the red and green commits, and it bundled an unrelated guest prompt-retry change and a pbxproj repair that main already landed).

Regression test

cmuxTests/CloudDirectoryLifecycleTests/launchCompletionWakesSidebar, driving the readiness through the production delta path. Red on the test commit, green on the fix commit (runs linked in comments).

Changelog

Fixed: Cloud workspaces in the sidebar no longer stay blank after their terminal finishes starting.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • The sidebar now refreshes machine and working-directory details when a launching terminal completes, without changing panel directories.
    • Repeated updates that contain no changes no longer trigger an unnecessary refresh.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cloud directory metadata now includes terminal lifecycles. The workspace binding state tracks lifecycle changes and notifies observers. Tests cover sidebar updates after terminal readiness and local terminal path parsing.

Changes

Cloud terminal lifecycle propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Propagate terminal lifecycle metadata
Sources/Surfaces/SurfaceCatalog+CloudDirectoryMetadata.swift, Sources/WorkspaceCloudBindingState.swift, cmuxTests/CloudDirectoryLifecycleTests.swift
The catalog passes lifecycles for projected terminals present in the resource catalog. The binding state stores lifecycle data and notifies observers when it changes. The test checks that readiness updates refresh the sidebar without changing panel directories, and that an identical update does not advance the revision again.

Local terminal path parsing tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test local terminal path reports
cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/platform.rs
A Unix-only test checks local kitty-shell-cwd reports, literal %20 preservation, and rejection of remote or hostless authorities, missing paths, and paths containing NUL.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: lawrencecchen

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18434

The Cloud sidebar wake-up change looks sound. However, the new terminal path test fails on Unix because the parsers do not yet accept kitty-shell-cwd reports. Add that parser support, or remove the test, before merging.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — cmux-tui (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — Sources (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — cmuxTests (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in Sources/Surfaces/SurfaceCatalog+CloudDirectoryMetadata.swift: The metadata update now includes each projected terminal’s lifecycle, keyed by panel ID, when that terminal exists in resources; missing and non-terminal resources are omitted. The previous call updated metadata with only projected resources and machine names.
  • observed — Modified behavior in Sources/WorkspaceCloudBindingState.swift: Added the terminalLifecycles projection and a defaulted terminalLifecycles parameter to updateCatalogMetadata. The update guard now also compares lifecycle data, and the method stores it before notifying observers; previously, only resource and machine-name changes triggered an update.
  • observed — Modified behavior in cmuxTests/CloudDirectoryLifecycleTests.swift: Added launchCompletionWakesSidebar to test sidebar updates when a launching terminal reports readiness with an unchanged cwd: panel directories remain unchanged, the binding revision advances and the sidebar displays the cwd, while a subsequent identical update leaves the revision unchanged.
  • observed — Modified behavior in cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui-core/src/platform.rs: Adds a Unix-only test for local kitty-shell-cwd reports: it expects local hostnames and localhost to yield local paths, preserves %20 literally, and expects remote or hostless authorities, an absent path, and NUL-containing paths to be rejected.

Dogfood tours of 215d1367

sidebar-and-chrome-tour at 215d1367: not run

skipped: CI left no app build for this head (its compile failed or was cancelled)

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.

The sidebar hides a Cloud panel while its catalog terminal is missing or
launching. Readiness arrives as a delta that repeats the cwd, so the
projection, names and directory were unchanged and the workspace row never
rebuilt. Terminal lifecycles are now part of the workspace's Cloud catalog
metadata, so their arrival and readiness fire the sidebar observation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add parser support before asserting kitty-shell-cwd acceptance.

terminal_pwd_to_local_path returns None for this input because Line 1298 accepts only the file scheme. local_terminal_pwd_to_local_path has the same restriction at Line 1329. The first positive assertion fails, so this test cannot pass as written. Update both parsers to handle the intended reports while preserving their existing host and path checks.

austinywang added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 14, 2026
Ghostty's shell integration follows the first prompt's file:// OSC 7 with
kitty-shell-cwd://HOST/PATH, and the terminal keeps that last report. The
daemon only parsed file:// URLs, so it turned the kitty report into no
directory and cleared the cwd it had just published. A new Cloud
terminal's sidebar subtitle appeared, vanished, and came back only after
a later prompt sent file:// alone. Main already carries the failing test
terminal_pwd_accepts_local_kitty_shell_cwd_reports (#17379).
