Summary

Opening localhost from an SSH-hosted terminal could show a same-port service on the Mac instead of the remote host. Managed SSH previews now use an app-owned listener for the remote service and block unrelated loopback routes; the listener fails closed if its helper exits.

Fixes #18249

Testing

  • CloudPortRoutePlanTests, SSHTuiOpenTests, and CloudBrowserProxyIntegrationTests passed: 43 tests, 0 failures, at 489b95c. The touched source and test files were hash-verified against the rebased PR tree.
  • A post-rebase xcodebuild build-for-testing attempt did not produce a test bundle. Xcode emitted 272 generic SwiftCompile “exit code 0 but produced no further output” errors, with no Swift source diagnostic, crash, or fatal error in the logs.
  • cmux-tui build, focused inherited-listener and descriptor-parser Rust tests, and cargo fmt --check passed with Zig 0.16.0.
  • Remote integration smoke: the forwarded listener returned HTTP 200 from the remote fixture, then HTTP 503 after its helper exited.
  • Post-rebase affected static checks passed (17/17). The localization catalog validator reports 0 parity errors.

Changelog

Fixed: SSH localhost previews show the remote service instead of a same-port service on the Mac.

Proof

Both fixtures use port 43919. The local control shows the Mac service; the managed SSH browser preview shows the remote response.

…4 and IPv6 loopback, even if the authenticated endpoint stays the same.

Constraint: Proxy match domains depend on the destination host while loopback aliases share one SSH proxy endpoint.
Rejected: Cache configuration by endpoint alone | Later aliases remain outside the proxy match set.
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep destination-host changes in the browser proxy configuration identity.
Tested: Swift parse; verify-local selected checks 6/6; test wiring 1229 files; diff check.
Not-tested: Native cmux-unit build and runtime pending on the Mac mini.
Create a prewarmed loading WebView, verify navigation stays queued until the SSH proxy is ready, and then replay the original POST request through that route.

Constraint: Headless WebKit needs the prewarmed loading host used by the existing proxy integration tests.

Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep WebKit fixture tests explicit about host readiness before network assertions.

Not-tested: Native integration test rerun pending on the Mac mini.
Use the suite's explicit deadline loop so the test compiles independently of helpers in other suites.

Constraint: Swift Testing suites do not share private wait helpers.
Rejected: Rely on the other suite's `wait` function | It is out of scope and fails test-target compilation.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep asynchronous test helpers local to their owning suite.
Tested: Swift parse; diff check.
Not-tested: Native cmux-unit build/test pending on the Mac mini.
Wait until navigation applies the ready proxy configuration before asserting the WebKit store state. The route is configured when the queued request is replayed, not merely when its model becomes ready.

Constraint: Preserve the production route timing while asserting the correct integration-test boundary.

Rejected: Configure the store directly in the test | It would bypass the behavior under test.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep proxy assertions after the code path that applies the route.

Tested: Swift parse; diff check.

Not-tested: Mac mini integration rerun pending.
Give each managed SSH browser route an app-owned loopback listener lease. Pass a duplicate descriptor to the remote child so the browser endpoint stays reserved and fails closed after transport exit. Retain route-specific WebKit guards through view replacement and isolate browser route ownership by host.

Constraint: WebKit must not reach unrelated client loopback services during remote browser navigation.

Rejected: Rebind the same loopback port after child exit | another local process can claim it and receive remote browser traffic.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: moderate

Directive: Keep the listener lease and WebKit route policy aligned when changing managed SSH browser lifecycle.

Tested: Static verification 17/17; cargo build; focused Rust inherited-listener and descriptor-parser tests; Mac mini to Haven HTTP 200 and post-exit 503 smoke; cargo fmt --check.

Not-tested: Final native Xcode focused test suite is still running on Mac mini.
Replacement WebViews must restore the active Cloud host above any retained SSH bridge generation. Listener descriptors must stay private to cmux and the explicitly mapped helper stdin across fork/exec.

Constraint: The helper receives the socket only through its configured stdin mapping.

Rejected: Rely on unrelated child processes to close inherited descriptors | terminal launchers may preserve them across exec.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Advance loopback bridge generations whenever a replacement restores a different route.

Tested: Swift parse, 17/17 affected static checks, cargo fmt --check, test-wiring check.

Not-tested: Native Xcode suite on the revised snapshot is pending.
The macOS SDK does not expose SOCK_CLOEXEC here, so establish FD_CLOEXEC immediately after socket creation while keeping the child descriptor duplication atomic.

Constraint: Build against the supported macOS SDKs without relying on unavailable socket type flags.

Rejected: Remove close-on-exec protection | terminal child processes can retain a listener past its owner.

Confidence: medium

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Preserve close-on-exec on the parent listener and use an atomic close-on-exec duplicate for the helper.

Tested: Swift parse and static checks passed; native build is pending after this portability correction.

Not-tested: The preceding native build rejected SOCK_CLOEXEC before the fix.
Carry the resolved agent socket into CLI SSH arguments and keep loopback alias route fixtures faithful to their requested targets. Host the managed-loopback WebKit integration view so its real request path is exercised in native tests.

Constraint: The agent path and SSH option list must resolve to one effective IdentityAgent value.

Rejected: Weaken alias and WebKit assertions to match the fixture | those assertions cover route ownership and the actual browser path.

Confidence: medium

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep route test models initialized with the target passed to the access store.

Tested: Swift parse and affected static checks 17/17.

Not-tested: Focused native test rerun is pending.
Distinguish retained managed-SSH bridge state from Cloud proxy bridge state so reconfiguring a Cloud browser cannot replace its VM host mapping with the generic alias.

Constraint: Cloud endpoint and store reuse may skip WebView replacement, so its active bridge must survive reconfiguration in place.

Rejected: Rebuild the WebView on every Cloud reconfiguration | unchanged endpoint/store needs no replacement and should retain browser state.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep cleanup scoped to scripts installed for the managed SSH route.

Tested: Swift parse, cargo fmt --check, test-wiring sync.

Not-tested: Focused native integration rerun is pending.
The integration fixture owns its native test window and must follow BrowserPanel when SSH route setup replaces the initial WebView.

Constraint: Standalone WebKit tests do not have the app's SwiftUI host to observe WebView changes.

Rejected: Drop the live-host assertion | the POST and replacement policy need an attached WebKit view.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep standalone browser fixtures attached to the panel's current WebView.

Tested: Earlier c3 build passed; focused rerun pending.

Not-tested: This host reattachment change has not yet run on Mac mini.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SSH TUI browser access now uses managed loopback forwards with inherited-listener support. Cloud routing tracks loopback targets, and browser panels preserve and route requests while applying loopback protections. The changes also update loopback alias handling, tests, and localized CLI and Cloud guidance.

Changes

SSH TUI Browser Loopback Routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Loopback listener and child lifecycle
Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease.swift, Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, cmuxTests/SSHTuiOpenTests.swift
Adds a managed loopback listener and an SSH forwarding child process. The listener remains bound while the child runs and responds with HTTP 503 when the child is stopped.
SSH forward command and inherited-listener support
Packages/macOS/CmuxCloud/Sources/CmuxCloud/Link/SSHTuiConnection.swift, Sources/RemoteTui/RemoteTuiLinkManaging.swift, Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLinkManager.swift, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-remote/src/bridge.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/remote_cli.rs, cmux-tui/crates/cmux-tui/src/localization.rs, cmuxTests/SSHTuiOpenTests.swift
Adds SSH loopback-forward arguments and manager lifecycle methods. cmux remote forward accepts an inherited listener descriptor through --listen-fd; --listen remains available when no descriptor is supplied.
Cloud loopback route identity and forwarding
Packages/macOS/CmuxCloud/Sources/CmuxCloud/PortForward/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxCore/Sources/CmuxCore/Remote/PrivateAddressRouteSelector.swift, Sources/Cloud/PortForward/*, Sources/Surfaces/CmuxTuiSurfaceProvider+PortForward.swift, cmuxTests/CloudPortRoutePlanTests.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxCore/Tests/CmuxCoreTests/PrivateAddressRouteSelectorTests.swift
Cloud access models include loopback hosts in their keys and track target-specific forwards. SSH machines use loopback routing; other machines retain browser-proxy routing. Loopback alias comparisons include localhost.
Browser request routing and loopback protections
Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel.swift, Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel+CloudConnection.swift, Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel+AutomationRecovery.swift, Sources/Panels/BrowserNavigationDelegate.swift, Sources/RemoteLoopbackRuntimeBridge.swift, Sources/Workspace.swift, Sources/Workspace+DockBrowserLookup.swift, Sources/DockRemoteBrowserSettings.swift, cmuxTests/BrowserPanelTests.swift, cmuxTests/CloudBrowserProxyIntegrationTests.swift, cmuxTests/CloudBrowserProxyTestServer.swift, cmuxTests/CloudLoopbackOriginTestServer.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Browser panels preserve requests while routing Cloud loopback URLs. Loopback routes install managed content rules and runtime bridge configuration. SSH TUI browser panes can load eligible public HTTP(S) destinations without a remote proxy.

CLI and Cloud Localization

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI, onboarding, and Cloud VM messages
Resources/Localizable.xcstrings
Adds localized CLI/app version-skew guidance, Computer Use dev-build availability text, Cloud VM command descriptions, and SSH loopback preview messages.

Explanation

The PR adds unrelated localization entries for CLI version-skew guidance and other non-SSH-preview features, including Computer Use and Cloud VM command/error strings. These additions do not implement the browser-pane loading or SSH loopback routing objective in [#18249]. The localization file also moves retained entries as part of this unrelated catalog change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 23.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 100 functions across 29 files. (3 skipped: 2 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The PR adds timing-based synchronization to shipped Swift code. In the new production actor Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess.swift, start waits for readiness with Task.sleep(for: .seconds(60)) at lines 58–65, and stop uses another Task.sleep(for: .seconds(3)) before force-killing the child at lines 87–94. The rule explicitly fails production Task.sleep, including readiness waits and delayed shutdown timing. The new SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease also adds NSLock around shared mutable socket state at lines 9–16 and 83–149, plus synchronous queue coordination. These are new production synchronization primitives, not test scaffolding.

Resolution

Replace the 60-second readiness sleep with a cancellation-aware timer abstraction or an explicit readiness/termination signal that provides timeout behavior without Task.sleep. Replace the three-second force-stop sleep with a process-exit callback coordinated through a cancellation-aware timer abstraction. Rework SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease so an actor or explicit signal owns closed, childGeneration, and unavailableSource; remove the new NSLock and synchronous state coordination, or document and prove a concrete low-level platform constraint that prevents actor isolation.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The diff adds an unowned fire-and-forget task in Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel+CloudConnection.swift:21. The task compiles WebKit rules, changes browser state, navigates, and may stop the Cloud model, but BrowserPanel does not store or cancel it. The generation checks reject stale effects after completion, but they do not cancel the in-flight operation. The new withCheckedThrowingContinuation wraps a WebKit callback boundary, and the listener's DispatchSource queue is an OS socket boundary, so those patterns are allowed.

Resolution

Store the loopback navigation task on BrowserPanel. Cancel and clear the previous task before starting a newer route, and cancel it during loopback protection removal, WebView replacement, and panel close. Check cancellation after the WebKit continuation and before state mutation or navigation. Clear the stored task when it completes.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

The new CloudLoopbackOriginTestServer is @MainActor, so its serve(_:) async method runs on the main actor. The method performs repeated NWConnection.receiveChunk calls, request parsing, JSON serialization, and sendAll at lines 62-100. The connection callback explicitly starts it with Task { @MainActor in ... await self.serve(connection) } at lines 40-45. This introduces network and parsing work on UI isolation without an off-main actor or @concurrent boundary.

Resolution

Move the test server's network and parsing work off @MainActor. Make the server an actor, or split serve into a nonisolated @concurrent/detached async helper that returns the parsed request and response, then update connections and requests through an explicit MainActor hop. Keep only listener/test-state coordination on @MainActor.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The PR adds independently testable SSH loopback domain logic to the app target. Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess.swift owns a child process and readiness state, and Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease.swift owns a TCP listener, descriptor inheritance protection, generation handling, and fail-closed HTTP 503 responses. These files use only Foundation, Darwin, and CmuxCloud; they do not depend on AppKit, SwiftUI, WebKit, Ghostty, or app singletons. cmuxTests/SSHTuiOpenTests.swift directly constructs and tests both types, which confirms the logic has an independent test boundary. The Xcode project adds both files directly to the app Sources phase, and the PR adds no package target or package source for this feature. The existing CmuxCloud target already owns analogous process primitives such as CloudBrowserProxyProcess, CloudLinkPipe, and CloudLinkFirstValue. App-level SSHTuiLinkManager wiring can remain in the app, but the listener and forwarding implementation violates the package boundary rule.

Resolution

Move the standalone loopback forwarding implementation and its lifecycle tests into the existing CmuxCloud SwiftPM target, or create a small CmuxRemoteTui target if the SSH-specific ownership should remain separate. The first public type should be SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess; expose the listener lease or a small SSHTuiLoopbackForwarding protocol as needed by the manager. Keep SSHTuiLinkManager, provider callbacks, browser navigation, and app lifecycle composition in the app target. Add the extracted implementation tests to the package test target.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

The new SSH loopback failure path can show implementation details to end users. SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess creates user-visible errors such as “The SSH helper reported a different browser listener port.” and “The SSH port forward ended before it became ready.” SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease also creates “Could not ... the managed SSH browser listener.” These errors propagate through CloudPortAccessModel.run via CloudMachineLink.errorText, then CloudBrowserAccessState.failureMessage displays them in CloudBrowserConnectionCard and CloudFailureCard. The changed SSH loopback routing activates this path for browser users.

Resolution

Map SSH loopback forwarding and listener failures to a localized, product-level message before storing them in CloudPortAccessModel.phase. Do not expose helper, listener, rule, cmux-tui, or raw system error details in the browser card. Keep those details in sanitized debug logs or telemetry. Retain a clear recovery action, such as reloading the preview.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds user-facing Swift error text without localization and adds incomplete catalog entries. Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel+CloudConnection.swift:51,78,85 adds three spawnFailed messages, Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLinkManager.swift:181 adds another, Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackForwardProcess.swift:69,72 adds two, and Sources/RemoteTui/SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLease.swift:141,173 adds listener and endpoint-limit messages. These errors expose LocalizedError.errorDescription or localizedDescription to the user, but the new literals do not use a localized API. The two new catalog keys at Resources/Localizable.xcstrings:641785 and :641844 contain values for only en, ar, de, es, fr, ja, ko, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant. The touched catalog already supports ar, bs, da, de, en, es, fr, it, ja, km, ko, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant.

Resolution

Route every new user-facing error through String(localized:defaultValue:) or an equivalent localized API. Add matching Resources/Localizable.xcstrings keys for the protection, forward-readiness, listener, and endpoint-limit messages. Add translated values for all 20 locale codes already supported by Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, including bs, da, it, km, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk, and verify that no placeholder or copied-English values remain.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The diff duplicates SSH loopback navigation ownership across WebKit and panel entry points. BrowserNavigationDelegate.swift:354-383 independently decides rebinding and forwarding, cancels WebKit, and reissues the request. BrowserPanel.swift:5682-5717 independently performs the same forwarding and provider-rebind decisions, while BrowserPanel.swift:5592-5602 adds another direct route path. These paths can diverge in request preservation, ownership checks, and lifecycle generation. The route state belongs in CloudBrowserAccessState, but one BrowserPanel action should own the transition.

Resolution

Create one BrowserPanel-owned cloud navigation action that accepts the original URLRequest, consults CloudBrowserAccessState, and performs forwarding, provider rebinding, or normal navigation. Have BrowserNavigationDelegate call that action through its existing callback instead of implementing separate SSH loopback branches. Route direct navigate and WebKit policy callbacks through the same action, then remove the duplicated checks. Add tests that exercise both entry points with POST requests, alias rebinding, and superseded navigation.

Localize the new --listen-fd conflict error.

Every other parser error in parse_connect_flags uses catalog().remote_client. This message is hardcoded English, so Japanese-locale users can see untranslated text. Add an options_conflict template to RemoteClientMessages with English and Japanese entries, then call it here.

Validate SO_ACCEPTCONN on inherited listeners.

from_listener already calls local_addr(), so a pipe or TTY fails before the accept loop. However, local_addr() does not verify that a TCP socket is listening. A bound loopback socket that has not called listen() passes the current checks. The forward then prints a URL, but its accept task exits on the first listener.accept() error, so browser connections fail.

Check SO_ACCEPTCONN immediately after wrapping the descriptor and before creating the route. Return a clear error when it is false.

Do not discard a request whose body arrives in the final chunk.

The loop returns when chunk.isComplete is true. It does not first check whether the body is now complete. A client can half-close after it sends the last body bytes. In that case the fixture drops a valid request and does not record it. The test then fails intermittently, and the failure does not show the real cause. Check isComplete only after body.count still falls short of bodyLength. Apply the same order to the header loop on line 74.

Remove compiled rule lists from the store.

Each install compiles a rule list under a new UUID identifier (cmux.ssh-loopback.<UUID>). That list stays in WKContentRuleListStore.default(). The removal path takes the list off the controller but never calls removeContentRuleList(forIdentifier:). Each SSH preview navigation therefore leaves a compiled list on disk, and these lists accumulate across launches. Save the identifier when you install the list. Then remove the list from the store when you replace or remove it. A second option is to derive a stable identifier from the port.

Create the child descriptor before you call prepareForChild().

Line 16 increments the generation and cancels the 503 source. Line 25 can then throw from makeChildInput() (for example, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC fails with EMFILE). In that case, nothing calls childDidStop(generation:). The lease then has no child and no 503 source. Browser requests queue in the listen backlog and hang until WebKit times out. They do not get the documented fail-closed 503.

Duplicating the descriptor does not consume the accept queue. You can create it first and still drain the 503 handler before run().

Localize the managed SSH browser error messages.

The listener and forward paths create hard-coded English errors. CloudMachineLink.errorText(error) propagates them to the SSH open failure and workspace error state, so non-English users can see English text.

Use complete localized messages with String(localized:). Do not interpolate the English operation value. Add matching catalog entries and translations for every supported locale.

Inject the loopback lease registry instead of using a process-wide singleton.

SSHTuiLoopbackListenerLeaseRegistry.shared owns runtime state and prevents SSHTuiLinkManager tests from providing a fresh registry. Construct one long-lived registry at the composition owner, such as SSHTuiWorkspaceCoordinator, and inject it into SSHTuiLinkManager. Keep the registry alive for the browser URL lifetime.

This change addresses ambient global state and test isolation. It does not reclaim leases or change the 64-key limit.

Thank you @iamcobolt! However, this moves public pages in cmux ssh workspaces onto the Mac's network and swaps the authenticated browser proxy for an unauthenticated loopback forward, so @austinywang should weigh in alongside #15132 before we go further. Separately, could you drop the Localizable.xcstrings reorder and the IdentityAgent change to the main carrier, and reuse one content rule list per port instead of compiling a new UUID-named one on every navigation?

Job Verdict Why

Not re-run automatically: macos / macOS compile admission, tests are not machine failures.

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's; yours means the failing file is one this PR changes, also red on main that main's latest full suite fails the same way, seen on other PRs that it failed on another pull request's run lately.

Thanks for the managed SSH browser routing investigation and implementation in #18382. I continued the fix in the independent follow-up #18675 after incorporating current main (5244a7555c5) because this PR remains conflicting at 7c710d0175e1. The follow-up preserves provider-owned fail-closed loopback routing and public HTTP(S) fallback, carries the review hardening, and adds localized failure handling. No changes were pushed to this contributor branch; please use #18675 for review and ownership handoff.

…e ssh host

managed ssh workspaces (cmux-tui) never set the legacy remote proxy endpoint,
so every browser navigation queued forever. public and private-network pages
now load from this mac; loopback urls wait for the owning ssh machine.

localhost, ::1 and 0.0.0.0 now match the ssh machine's 127.0.0.1, and ssh
services go through a cmux-tui remote forward per port instead of the browser
proxy, which webkit skips for loopback hosts. the browser loads the forward's
local url, and retyping the remote address goes through the forward too, never
this mac's own port.

approach trimmed down from #18675 and #18382 (no listener lease, no rust
changes).

Fixes #18249

Resolves #18382's SSHTuiConnection conflict with main's agent-route
ControlPath handling: keep main's option filtering and add #18382's
explicit IdentityAgent option to the same option list.

Main forwards a cmux-captured agent through SSH_AUTH_SOCK and never adds
it as an IdentityAgent option, so the user's ssh config keeps
precedence. Drop #18382's explicit IdentityAgent from the merge and
from its forward-argument expectation.

#18382 closed the previous loopback forward on every retarget. Models
without a per-target stop share one Cloud forwarder that retargets its
listener in place, so closing it handed the desktop page a new port
(CloudDesktopWebSocketTests.retargetKeepsOneListener). Close the old
forward first only for per-target (SSH) routes.

* fix: keep every ssh loopback navigation off this mac's own ports

from the correctness review:
- one gate in navigateWithoutInsecureHTTPPrompt routes loopback urls in ssh
  workspaces (history, restore, heal, page links), not keyed on the pane's
  cloud machine id, so a configured pane can't fall back to local loopback
- main-frame links, redirects and script navigations to loopback are cancelled
  and rerouted through that gate
- a forward listener url opened in another tab maps back to the service it
  forwards instead of forwarding that port
- a forward whose child dies restarts and the pane follows the new listener
- https on an ssh host says it isn't supported instead of a silent spinner
- loopback forward start is reentrancy-safe and cancellable

Thank you @iamcobolt. Your per-port forward design is the core of #18956, which landed for #18249 with you credited as co-author on its commits. The remaining ideas here are tracked in #19642. I'll leave this PR for a maintainer to close.
