Fixes #9704.

Root cause

A physical Escape reaches Claude Code when Ghostty owns first responder. When TextBoxInputTextView owns first responder, it consumes Escape and calls TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape(); that action previously only focused the terminal and armed second-Escape hiding, so no Escape reached the PTY.

Fix

TerminalPanel remains the single TextBox Escape action owner. It resolves live Dock ownership before workspace fallback, aggregates the authoritative per-panel lifecycle with the existing precedence while excluding manual loading keys, and forwards Escape only when that lifecycle is running. Existing focus and two-Escape-hide behavior remains intact in every state.

Regression coverage

Validation

  • Tagged non-launch Debug build passed before the final main merge: CMUX_SKIP_ZIG_BUILD=1 ./scripts/reload.sh --tag issue-9704-escape-passthrough
  • Post-merge project normalization, test wiring, determinism, and diff checks passed.
  • Swift warning-budget validation passed; changed files introduce zero Swift warnings.
  • Required PR status: 8 pass, 0 pending, 0 fail; GitHub reports MERGEABLE.
  • Canonical branch autoreview and cmux policy review are clean on abca270.
  • No local Xcode tests or XCUITests were run.

Dogfood evidence

Runtime reproduction was completed locally before the fix. Cloud video capture was blocked because the loader joined the Switchboard Tailscale tailnet and was unreachable from the local Mac, so no CUA/video capture was possible.

Localization audit

No user-facing strings changed, so no localization catalog or web message update is required.

Summary by cubic

Passes Escape from the TextBox to the terminal when a running, allowlisted agent turn is active (now including campfire), restoring terminal interrupts while preserving TextBox focus and two‑Escape hide. Previously Escape was consumed by the TextBox and never reached the PTY.

  • Terminal behavior: TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape() sends Escape to the PTY only if the Dock-first then workspace-fallback lifecycle is .running; otherwise it just refocuses the terminal and arms hide‑on‑next‑Escape.
  • Lifecycle: aggregation is centralized in AgentHibernationLifecycleState.aggregate and aggregateForTextBoxEscape; the latter filters to built‑in allowed keys and excludes manual keys. Workspace and DockSplitStore expose agentLifecycleStateForTextBoxEscape. Allowed keys now include campfire.
  • Tests: TextBoxEscapePassthroughTests cover workspace/Dock running (Claude Code and Campfire), idle, manual, unsupported keys, and the stabilized physical TextBox keyDown path.

Written for commit 09dfa0e. Summary will update on new commits.

Note

Low Risk
Localized input routing change gated on existing lifecycle aggregation; no auth or persistence changes. Regression tests cover main edge cases.

Overview
Escape from the TextBox now reaches the terminal when an agent turn is running, fixing cases where TextBox owned first responder and consumed Escape without sending it to the PTY (e.g. interrupting Claude Code).

TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape() checks aggregated panel lifecycle via Dock-first then workspace fallback; when state is .running, it sends Escape through sendNamedKeyResult before the existing focus-terminal and two-Escape-hide logic. Idle, unknown, and manual loading activity still do not passthrough.

Lifecycle aggregation is centralized in AgentHibernationLifecycleState.aggregate (manual keys excluded, same precedence as before). Workspace and DockSplitStore both call it through agentHibernationLifecycleState.

New TextBoxEscapePassthroughTests cover workspace and Dock running/idle/manual scenarios plus focused TextBox keyDown routing.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides the root cause, implementation, regression coverage, validation results, and testing limitations. It does not reproduce every template heading or checklist item, but it is substantively complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #9704 by forwarding Escape to the PTY for running, allowlisted agent lifecycles while preserving existing behavior for idle, unknown, unsupported, and manual states. Workspace, Dock, and physical TextBox paths have regression coverage.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

No actor-isolation failure is introduced. The production diff adds pure aggregation methods to the existing AgentHibernationLifecycleState value enum, which was already Codable, Sendable and remains unannotated. The main target uses Swift 5 and has no SWIFT_DEFAULT_ACTOR_ISOLATION setting. The new DockSplitStore and Workspace methods are members of existing @MainActor types. TerminalPanel is also explicitly @MainActor, and its new calls reach those methods from that actor. No changed production path adds a background task, Sendable reference type, service protocol, or cross-actor UI-store access. The added test file is excluded by the check.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS — The PR diff from merge-base 9a2e99f to 66aeff1 adds no blocking or timing primitive in production Swift. The production changes use synchronous lifecycle aggregation and a direct sendNamedKeyResult call; the added-hunk scan found no semaphore waits, sleeps, delayed dispatch, polling, main-queue sync, or locks. The new .serialized main-actor suite uses deterministic test scaffolding only, which the rule allows.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes six lifecycle, TextBox, test, and Xcode project files. It does not change Sources/TerminalController.swift or Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift. No added lines contain browser.* commands, WebKit waits, worker routing, or related automation terms. The browser automation off-main failure conditions are not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds no synchronous agent-history or file loader. TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape() reads only the live Dock/workspace lifecycle map, and the new aggregation performs in-memory filtering and state checks. The refactored agentHibernationLifecycleState preserves the same in-memory logic. No RestorableAgentSessionIndex.load(), transcript/JSON/JSONL read, directory scan, or per-record syscall was added or moved onto the main-actor Escape path. The new close/window operations are test-only.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

No cache substitution occurs in a persistence-sensitive path. The cumulative diff adds lifecycle reads only to TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape(), a transient input-routing action. The Workspace change moves the existing aggregation over agentLifecycleStatesByPanelId into a helper without changing its source or fallback. Existing snapshot use of agentRuntimeByPanelId is unchanged, and no changed production path writes history, undo, or session snapshots. Therefore the cold/stale cache requirements do not apply.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only Swift source/tests and four Xcode project wiring lines. No TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or build/runtime script changes exist. The actual diff adds no sleep, timer, polling, delay, or wall-clock synchronization construct in the covered file types. Swift timing is outside this check's scope, and the added test scaffolding is test-only.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The PR adds an unbounded collection scan to the TextBox Escape input path. TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape() runs aggregateForTextBoxEscape for each Escape event (Sources/Panels/TerminalPanel.swift:343-356). That method rebuilds statusKeyedStates with filter at Sources/AgentHibernation/AgentHibernationLifecycleState.swift:52-57, then aggregate filters/maps and performs four contains scans at lines 32-41. The per-panel lifecycle map accepts registered custom Vault agent keys, and the registry has no explicit small cardinality bound. Therefore the new path performs repeated collection rebuilding over user-configurable state on each Escape, with no cached snapshot or size bound. The test file is exempt, and the moved hibernation implementation is not a new complexity issue by itself.

Resolution

Change aggregateForTextBoxEscape so it does not scan and copy the complete lifecycle map on each Escape. Use the explicitly fixed built-in allowlist (18 keys) for direct dictionary lookups and a single precedence reducer, or maintain a cached per-panel built-in aggregate and update it when lifecycle state changes. Keep manual and unsupported keys out of the Escape aggregate. Verify that the Escape handler no longer filters or rebuilds an unbounded lifecycle collection per event.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff adds synchronous lifecycle aggregation and Escape routing only. It introduces no DispatchQueue, DispatchGroup, Task, Combine, completion-handler, async/await, or actor pattern in cmux-owned production code. The only concurrency-related addition is @MainActor on an AppKit/Testing regression suite, which is an allowed boundary. Existing ObservableObject and @Published declarations in TerminalPanel are unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS — The pull request adds only synchronous Swift functions and a synchronous @MainActor test suite. The changed TerminalPanel, Workspace, and DockSplitStore APIs remain actor-isolated synchronous methods, while lifecycle aggregation is synchronous pure state processing. The diff adds no nonisolated async, @concurrent, Task, file/network parsing helper, or async UI call site. Therefore, no condition in swift-concurrent-annotation.md is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The PR adds pure agent lifecycle domain logic to the app-target source tree. AgentHibernationLifecycleState.aggregate and aggregateForTextBoxEscape use only Foundation and value collections. They do not depend on AppKit, SwiftUI, Ghostty, or app singletons. The new aggregation is used by both Workspace and Dock paths. AgentHibernationLifecycleState.swift is compiled in both the cmux app source phase and the separate cmux-cli source phase, while no SwiftPM target contains these types. The added tests exercise app fixtures and launch UI objects, so they do not provide standalone package tests. The TerminalPanel and Workspace/Dock resolver code is allowed app glue, but the changed aggregation policy violates the package-boundary conditions for independently testable, cross-surface domain logic.

Resolution

Create a small macOS SwiftPM target named CmuxAgentLifecycle (or place the equivalent types in the existing CmuxAgentJournal domain package if that ownership is intentional). Move AgentHibernationLifecycleState and AgentHibernationLifecycleStatusKeys into that target. Expose AgentHibernationLifecycleState as the first public value API, including the aggregation methods needed by callers. Add standalone package tests for precedence, fallback, manual-key exclusion, and the TextBox Escape built-in-key allowlist. Link the package product to cmux, cmux-cli, and the relevant tests, then remove the pure source file from the Xcode app and CLI source phases. Keep only the Dock/Workspace ownership adapters and TerminalPanel Escape routing in the app target.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only Swift source, a test source, and four Xcode source/file-group entries. The cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj diff adds TextBoxEscapePassthroughTests.swift; it does not change SwiftPM package references or products. No Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, or workflow file changed. The root Xcode Package.resolved is unchanged, which is valid because no Xcode package-reference change occurred.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff adds no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, file/stdout logging, or Logger declarations. The production changes only aggregate lifecycle state and forward Escape. The added test file uses assertions and contains no logging. Therefore the explicit Swift logging failure conditions are not introduced.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS — The production diff changes Escape routing and lifecycle aggregation only. It adds no user-facing errors, alerts, command output, API error bodies, or recovery copy. The new claude_code references and assertion messages are confined to tests, which the rule explicitly allows. The added source comments are developer-only comments and are also allowed.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS — The complete PR diff adds no user-facing production text. The production changes only add lifecycle aggregation and forward the existing Escape protocol token. The new English strings are in tests and are explicitly allowed. No app string catalogs, Info.plist localization files, web locale files, or message entries are changed.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS: The PR does not introduce a SwiftUI state or layout pattern covered by the rule. The net diff adds lifecycle aggregation methods, an Escape event handler, and AppKit tests. TerminalPanel already conforms to ObservableObject and already contains its @Published properties; the PR does not add or change that state. No changed addition contains @Observable, new state wrappers, GeometryReader, lazy/list row subtrees, SwiftUI body, or render-time state mutation.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The diff is a small, owner-preserving correctness fix. TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape() remains the single Escape action owner. It reads Dock state first and workspace state second, while both stores use the shared AgentHibernationLifecycleState.aggregateForTextBoxEscape() policy. The diff adds no sleeps, delayed dispatch, polling, locks, observers, mutable flags, caches, or side channels. The serialized main-actor suite is test-only synchronization and is allowed by the rule. No split UI lifecycle owner or duplicate Escape entrypoint wiring was introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS. The pull request does not add or materially change a standalone cmux-owned auxiliary window. Production changes only lifecycle aggregation and TextBox Escape handling. The new test uses an existing createMainWindow() fixture with a cmux.main.<UUID> identifier, which the rule explicitly allows as a test-only fixture and main workspace window. No auxiliary NSWindow, NSPanel, NSWindowController, SwiftUI Window, or WindowGroup code or close-shortcut workaround was introduced.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

PASS — The cumulative PR diff contains only four hand-written Swift source files, one new Swift test file, and four deliberate Xcode project wiring entries. The new test is under cmuxTests/, and the project changes register that test as a source and group member. No logs, screenshots, recordings, temporary directories, dependency checkouts, caches, build output, DerivedData, package downloads, or broad scratch directories are added.

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

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds lifecycle aggregation and Escape-routing behavior, not a test/debug seam. aggregateForTextBoxEscape and agentLifecycleStateForTextBoxEscape have production callers through TerminalPanel.handleTextBoxEscape(). No DEBUG or test-build guard, test/debug-named production member, or visibility widening with a test wrapper was added. The new tests are under cmuxTests/. Their use of debugPendingSocketInputForTesting() references a pre-existing package accessor; the PR does not modify that package or accessor.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

The production diff adds no ambient global state. The new lifecycle functions in DockSplitStore, Workspace, and TerminalPanel are instance methods on scoped owning types. AgentHibernationLifecycleState is an existing non-caseless enum with real lifecycle cases and instance behavior; its new static aggregation methods do not form a static-only namespace and hold no shared state. No new file-scope mutable var, stub holder type, or singleton was added. The existing AgentHibernationLifecycleStatusKeys static namespace and other existing singletons were not expanded.

Resolved the CodeRabbit package-boundary suggestion without a code change. AgentHibernationLifecycleState and its status-key policy predate this PR and are already intentionally compiled into both the app and CLI targets. This PR adds no new consumer or dependency edge; it centralizes the existing Workspace precedence so Dock ownership uses that same authoritative rule. A standalone CmuxAgentLifecycle package would be a narrow logic slice rather than the whole-domain boundary required by skills/cmux-architecture/SKILL.md, while migrating the full agent-lifecycle domain is unrelated to the Escape regression. The canonical cmux policy review and branch autoreview are both clean on abca270.

Final review audit (re-checked against HEAD)

Re-checked on 2026-09-01 against PR HEAD 09dfa0ef4b243cac3ceda028c56b4ef90adc9d92 and the current repository state.

The exact PR HEAD passed hosted run 33494544906: cmuxTests/TextBoxEscapePassthroughTests, all 7 Swift Testing cases passed, and the workflow selector guard counted 7 executed tests. Current main also passed the same 7-case suite in 33498052518. main already contains the canonical behavior through merged PR #10959, commit 87f31977237cbcbbf8b7f492718685d612fbb9b0, including the bounded allowlist implementation.

Because #9810 is now a conflicting duplicate of that merged change and carries an unrelated Ghostty submodule pointer, the expert disposition is to close #9810 as superseded rather than merge it. This is intentional; no additional code fix is required. No CHANGES_REQUESTED review is present. Every inline review thread has an explicit reply, including the two threads that had previously been auto-resolved without an author response.

Top-level review bodies

  • Codex: no GitHub top-level Codex body was posted; the prior structured Codex review found no actionable defect. There is no unanswered Codex ask.
  • CodeRabbit review 5013590105: its three actionable asks are covered in the table below and in the explicit thread replies.
  • Greptile comment 5402942088: its safe-to-merge summary was re-checked against both hosted runs and the merged integration; no new ask.
  • Cubic summary in the PR description: the behavior is present in merged Integrate Escape passthrough fix from PR #9810 #10959 and covered by the 7-case hosted suite.
  • Vercel and Cursor comments are deployment/spend-limit notices, not code requests.
