Problem

Clicking the browser icon in a remote tmux mirror workspace did nothing — unlike a regular workspace, no browser opened beside the terminal.

Two things caused it:

  • Workspace.newBrowserSplit / newBrowserSurface hard-returned nil when isRemoteTmuxMirror.
  • Even past that, the mirror's shouldSplitPane vetoes every local split and reroutes it to tmux split-window, so a split attempt spawned a terminal pane instead of a browser.

Fix

A tmux session maps 1:1 to a Workspace, so this adds a single per-session browser that splits the workspace's top-level tree beside the mirrored tmux area. It lives outside the mirror's nested pane tree, so the session mirror's rebuild() never reconciles it and the tmux 1:1 invariant is preserved.

  • openRemoteTmuxSessionBrowser(url:focus:) — reuse-or-create: focuses/navigates the existing browser instead of creating duplicates.
  • Every browser entry point (newBrowserSplit / newBrowserSurface, and therefore TabManager.openBrowser / createBrowserSplit, the globe button, link-opens, command palette, shortcuts) now routes here for mirror workspaces.
  • A scoped isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit flag lets that one local split past the shouldSplitPane veto; all other splits still route to tmux.
  • addRemoteTmuxDisplayPane now targets the tmux-windows pane via remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId(), so a newly mirrored tmux window never lands as a tab inside the browser split.
  • The panel id is cleared when the browser pane closes, so a later click recreates it.

Testing

Manually dogfooded against a live remote tmux session: clicking the browser icon opens a browser to the right of the tmux area; a second click focuses the existing one (no duplicate); switching tmux windows leaves the browser in place; closing then reopening works.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes workspace split routing, pane targeting, and browser lifecycle for remote tmux mirrors—important UI paths but scoped to mirror workspaces with regression tests.

Overview
Remote tmux mirror workspaces now support one browser panel per session, split at the workspace top level beside the mirrored tmux area (outside the mirror tree so rebuild() does not touch it).

openRemoteTmuxSessionBrowser creates or reuses that browser, navigates when a URL is given, and tracks remoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelId. Generic newBrowserSplit / newBrowserSurface calls on mirrors route there instead of returning nil or spawning a tmux terminal split. A short-lived isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit flag is the only exception to shouldSplitPane vetoing local splits on mirrors.

remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() ensures new mirrored tmux panes attach to tmux window tabs, not the browser pane when it is focused. clearRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelIfMatches resets the slot when the browser panel closes. RemoteTmuxMirrorBrowserSplitTests covers reuse, routing, and pane targeting.

Summary by cubic

Adds a single per-session browser split beside remote tmux mirror workspaces and routes all browser entry points to it. Previously the browser button and link opens did nothing or spawned tmux splits; now “open link in new tab” creates a tab inside that browser and tmux panes never land in the browser split.

  • New Features

    • openRemoteTmuxSessionBrowser(url:initialRequest:focus:) creates or focuses the session browser and navigates when a URL or request is provided.
    • isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit allows exactly one local split for the browser; all other splits still route to tmux.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Generic browser opens on mirrors route to the session browser; when targeting that pane, “open link in new tab” opens a new tab instead of navigating the existing one.
    • authenticateRemoteTmuxWindowsPane() and remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() pin tmux window targeting away from the browser; the stored browser panel id clears on any close path so a later click recreates it.

Written for commit b04c573. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Remote tmux mirrors now use one dedicated browser panel per session. Browser requests reuse, focus, or navigate that panel. Mirrored panes target the non-browser tmux pane, and tracking clears when the browser closes.

Changes

Remote tmux browser handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session browser state and creation
Sources/Workspace.swift, Sources/RemoteTmuxController.swift
Workspace tracks one remote tmux browser, authenticates the tmux windows pane, resolves a target pane that excludes the browser, and creates or reuses a top-level browser split.
Browser request routing and cleanup
Sources/Workspace.swift, Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel.swift
Mirror browser split and browser-surface requests route to the session browser. Browser navigation accepts URLRequest. Closing the browser clears its identifier.
Browser regression coverage
cmuxTests/RemoteTmuxMirrorBrowserSplitTests.swift, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Tests cover browser creation, reuse, tracking, target-pane separation, sibling promotion, cleanup, and test-target registration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b04c5

Closing a browser tab in a remote tmux mirror can leave the session’s browser reference stale, preventing a remaining browser from being promoted or a later browser open from recreating it correctly. This lifecycle issue should be fixed before merging.

Explanation

The description is detailed, on-topic, and covers the problem, implementation, and testing. It does not use the template headings and omits the demo video, review trigger, and checklist, but the core required information is present.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 9.09% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 11 functions across 3 files. (2 skipped: 1 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

No actor-isolation failure is introduced. The changed production declarations remain within existing explicit @MainActor types: Workspace, BrowserPanel, and RemoteTmuxController were already MainActor-isolated at the merge base. The new mutable browser and pane state belongs to Workspace, the new URLRequest navigation overload belongs to BrowserPanel, and authenticateRemoteTmuxWindowsPane() is called from the MainActor-isolated RemoteTmuxController.mirrorSession(). The diff adds no value-model or service-protocol declarations, shared mutable Sendable reference types, or background access to UI-bound stores. The added test file does not affect this production-only check.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The production Swift diff adds no semaphore, blocking wait, sleep, delayed dispatch, timer, polling loop, main-queue sync, or manual lock. The only new polling and run-loop timing is in cmuxTests/RemoteTmuxMirrorBrowserSplitTests.swift, which is deterministic test-only scaffolding and is explicitly allowed by the check.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff versus main changes Workspace.swift, BrowserPanel.swift, RemoteTmuxController.swift, the project file, and remote-tmux tests. It does not change Sources/TerminalController.swift or Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy.swift, the files named by the rule. The added BrowserPanel.navigate(to: URLRequest) overload and remote-tmux calls only support normal UI navigation; no browser.* socket command is added or moved. Therefore the rule's worker-routing, off-main WebKit/AppKit, and policy-test failure conditions are not introduced.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff adds no RestorableAgentSessionIndex.load(), SharedLiveAgentIndex, agent-history file access, JSON decoding, directory scan, or synchronous file-read call. The new production paths only route browser panels, inspect Bonsplit panes, navigate via URLRequest, and clear browser state during close. Existing synchronous agent-index fallbacks remain unchanged and are not worsened by this diff.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS. The diff does not replace an authoritative disk, database, or file read in a persistence, history, undo, or session-snapshot path. It adds an in-memory pane identifier for transient remote-tmux UI routing and validates that the pane still exists. The remote-tmux workspace is explicitly excluded from session snapshots (isRestorableInSessionSnapshot == false). The browser-panel identifier is also lifecycle-only; close-history code still builds snapshots through its existing sessionPanelSnapshot path. BrowserPanel.navigate(to: URLRequest) adds request forwarding and no cache substitution.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only Swift source, Swift tests, and Xcode project metadata. The production Swift diff adds no sleep, timer, delayed dispatch, or polling logic. The test-only waitUntil and RunLoop loop are explicitly allowed deterministic test scaffolding. The non-Swift runtime scope does not apply.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds only linear lookups for the remote mirror's top-level panes and browser-pane tabs. remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() validates one cached pane ID with allPaneIds.contains at Sources/Workspace.swift:8543-8546; the mirror permits only its tmux pane plus the single browser split. Browser cleanup scans tabs only after the identity guard matches the tracked browser ID (Sources/Workspace.swift:8552-8558), so the pane-close loop does not rescan for every closed panel. No changed production path adds nested collection scans, per-target batch rescans, repeated sorting/filtering, or an unbenchmarked super-linear algorithm. The added test scaffolding is exempt by the rule, and git diff --check is clean.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS: The PR diff adds no DispatchQueue.global, custom background queue, DispatchGroup, Combine state, or fire-and-forget Task in production code. The only RunLoop synchronization is test-only and allowed. The new BrowserPanel.navigate(to: URLRequest, ...) overload preserves the existing synchronous onNavigationStarted WebKit navigation callback contract and delegates to the existing request-based navigation path; it does not introduce a new async workflow or completion-based internal operation that should use async throws. Existing ObservableObject, Task, and callback code is unchanged by the diff.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS. The pull-request diff from main adds no async, @concurrent, nonisolated, Task, or await implementation or call-site changes. The changed Workspace methods, BrowserPanel.navigate(to:) overload, and authenticateRemoteTmuxWindowsPane() are synchronous. The only added isolation annotation is @MainActor on the synchronous test suite, which is intentionally UI-bound. Existing asynchronous helpers in the touched files remain unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds remote-tmux browser routing and pane lifecycle handling directly to Workspace, which is app-specific Bonsplit/AppKit/WebKit composition and depends on BrowserPanel, Workspace state, and AppDelegate. The BrowserPanel change is a WebKit navigation glue overload. The RemoteTmuxController change only composes a newly created app workspace. None of the additions form reusable, headless domain logic for another surface. The added regression file is test code, which the rule allows.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS. The full PR diff from the main ancestor changes only Swift sources/tests and adds the test file to cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj. The Xcode project hunk contains only PBXBuildFile, PBXFileReference, group, and test-target source registration; it contains no SwiftPM package-reference change. No Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or dependency file changes occur, and the root Xcode lockfile is unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS: The diff from origin/main adds no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, Logger, stdout/stderr, or ad hoc file-logging statements. The changed production code only adds browser navigation and remote tmux routing. Existing logging statements remain unchanged; the changed Workspace close hook is adjacent to an existing #if DEBUG NSLog, which is explicitly allowed. The new tests also add no diagnostic output.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS — The production diff adds browser routing/state and a URLRequest navigation overload. It adds no user-facing error, alert, command output, API error body, or recovery copy. The new navigation path reuses the existing allowlist and insecure-HTTP alert flow, whose text is unchanged. Added tests and developer comments are allowed by the rule. No added production string literals, raw error forwarding, credentials, tokens, headers, IDs, or payload dumps appear in the commit.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only Swift logic, project wiring, and tests. The production additions introduce no user-facing text. The only added string is the cmux.main... test/window identifier, which is a literal token and not user-facing. Existing localized strings remain routed through String(localized:defaultValue:). No app string catalogs, plist localization files, or web locale/message files changed.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

The diff does not introduce a SwiftUI state-layout violation. It adds no ObservableObject, @Published, @StateObject, @EnvironmentObject, GeometryReader, lazy/list row store reference, SwiftUI View, or render-time state mutation. The changed Workspace and BrowserPanel types use existing legacy ObservableObject state; the PR adds plain mirror-routing properties and methods, plus AppKit/controller logic and tests. The new state changes occur in explicit mirror setup, browser actions, and close callbacks.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The PR introduces a production split-policy side channel. openRemoteTmuxSessionBrowser sets isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit before calling bonsplitController.splitPane, and splitTabBar(_:shouldSplitPane:orientation:) reads that unrelated mutable flag to bypass the remote-tmux veto. The flag is separate from the existing SplitLayoutModel, which already owns programmatic split state, and the Bonsplit controller remains the owner of the actual split. This makes the local-split invariant depend on transient caller state: any reentrant or future split during that window is accepted locally. The PR also adds remoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelId as a second mutable identity beside the authoritative panels and Bonsplit tree, then repairs it through close callbacks. The production diff adds no sleeps, polling, locks, or observers; the test polling is allowed. The failure is the changed mutable side channel and split lifecycle ownership, which matches the architectural rule.

Resolution

Move the browser split exception into one typed, scoped split action or transaction owned by SplitLayoutModel/the Bonsplit integration. Pass an explicit operation reason such as remoteTmuxSessionBrowser through the split request instead of exposing a Workspace-wide Boolean. Have that action create the browser panel and register its ownership atomically with the authoritative pane tree, or make the session-browser coordinator the sole owner of the browser-pane identity. Route both browser creation APIs through that shared action and derive or update the target pane from the authoritative tree. Add a regression test that an unrelated split cannot pass while the browser action is in progress.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS. The PR does not add or materially change a standalone cmux-owned window. The production changes route a BrowserPanel through the existing Workspace/Bonsplit pane and tab tree. The diff adds no NSWindow, NSPanel, NSWindowController, SwiftUI Window/WindowGroup, custom close shortcut, or window identifier assignment. The added test uses a main window as a test-only fixture, which the rule allows. Existing auxiliary-window ownership in Sources/cmuxApp.swift is unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

PASS. The diff changes only three Swift source files, one new Swift regression test, and cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj. The new test is tracked text source and is registered in the Xcode test target. No logs, screenshots, recordings, caches, temp directories, build output, dependency checkouts, or broad scratch directories were added.

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

Explanation

No prohibited test or debug seam was added under Sources/. The PR adds no new #if DEBUG or test-build guard, no test-shaped member names, and no visibility widening with a test wrapper. The new remote-tmux members serve production paths: authenticateRemoteTmuxWindowsPane() is called by RemoteTmuxController, remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() is used by display-pane creation and browser creation, and the browser tracking and cleanup methods are used by normal workspace routing and close callbacks. The regression tests use @testable import to observe internal product state from cmuxTests/, which the rule permits. Existing debug code was only touched incidentally.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds scoped instance state and methods to Workspace, an instance overload to BrowserPanel, and one Workspace call in RemoteTmuxController. The new remoteTmuxWindowsPaneId, remoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelId, and isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit are not file-scope globals. The diff adds no top-level API function, mutable global, static-only namespace, or new singleton/app-delegate state. The test-only Harness static helper and its reference to existing AppDelegate.shared do not constitute a production ambient-global-state change.

chanh and others added 5 commits August 25, 2026 05:18
Clicking the browser icon in a remote tmux mirror workspace was a silent
no-op: newBrowserSplit/newBrowserSurface hard-returned nil when
isRemoteTmuxMirror, and the mirror's shouldSplitPane veto rerouted any
local split to tmux split-window (which spawned a terminal pane instead).

A tmux session maps 1:1 to a Workspace, so add a single per-session
browser that splits the workspace's top-level tree beside the mirrored
tmux area. It lives outside the mirror's nested pane tree, so the
session mirror's rebuild() never reconciles it and the 1:1 invariant
holds. Every browser entry point now routes to
openRemoteTmuxSessionBrowser, which focuses/navigates the existing
browser instead of creating duplicates.

- A scoped isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit flag lets that one
  local split past the mirror's shouldSplitPane veto; all other splits
  still route to tmux.
- addRemoteTmuxDisplayPane now targets the tmux-windows pane via
  remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() so a newly mirrored window never lands
  as a tab inside the browser split.
- The panel id is cleared when the browser pane closes, so a later
  browser-icon click recreates it.

Covers the exact repro: in a remote tmux mirror workspace, opening a
browser creates a single local browser split beside the mirror (rather
than returning nil or routing the split to tmux), reuses that one browser
on repeat requests, routes newBrowserSurface/newBrowserSplit to it, and
keeps remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() off the browser pane.

Wired into the cmuxTests target in project.pbxproj.

…er id on any close

- remoteTmuxWindowsTargetPaneId() no longer falls back to allPaneIds.first,
  which could be the browser pane once the tmux-windows pane is gone; a newly
  mirrored window can therefore never land as a tab inside the browser split
  (cursor[bot]).
- Extract clearRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelIfMatches and call it from both
  didCloseTab and didClosePane so the per-session browser id is always cleared
  when its panel is torn down, regardless of close path (coderabbitai).

…navigate

newBrowserSurface routed EVERY call in a mirror workspace to the single
per-session browser (reuse + navigate), so "open link in a new tab" —
which calls newBrowserSurface targeting the browser's own pane — collapsed
into navigating the existing browser instead of opening a new tab.

Only route to the session browser when the target pane is NOT the existing
browser pane; when it is (a new tab within the browser), fall through to
normal browser-tab creation.

@austinywang could you review this per-session remote-tmux browser change? I rebased it onto current main, addressed all 6 previously unresolved review threads in b04c573, and the post-push review sweep is clean so far.

Greptile Summary

Adds a reusable browser pane beside each remote tmux mirror while retaining tmux as the authority for mirrored terminal topology.

  • Routes mirror browser entry points to a single session browser and supports additional tabs within its pane.
  • Tracks the tmux-window container separately so new remote windows do not enter the browser pane.
  • Extends browser navigation to accept URLRequest and adds regression coverage for creation, reuse, targeting, and close/reopen behavior.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The authenticated app-link data-store propagation defect should be fixed before merging because mirror routing can load sensitive session navigation under the wrong browser storage context.

The new reuse routing preserves the URLRequest but omits the caller-supplied WKWebsiteDataStore, breaking the isolation contract for reachable authenticated app-link navigation; the workspace-wide split flag is an additional non-blocking architectural concern.

Files Needing Attention: Sources/Workspace.swift

Security Review

Authenticated app-link navigation can be redirected into the session browser without its explicitly isolated WebKit data store, causing authentication state to be unavailable or retained under the wrong browser profile.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
Sources/Workspace.swift Implements session-browser routing, pane identity, and lifecycle handling, but drops explicit browser data-store context and introduces temporal split-authorization state.
Sources/Panels/BrowserPanel.swift Refactors URL navigation through a URLRequest overload while retaining the existing navigation-policy path.
Sources/RemoteTmuxController.swift Authenticates the initial tmux-window container before constructing the session mirror.
cmuxTests/RemoteTmuxMirrorBrowserSplitTests.swift Covers browser reuse, routing, pane targeting, and close/reopen behavior but not isolated website-data-store propagation.
cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj Registers the new regression test file with the test target.

P1 security App-link data store is dropped

When authenticated app-link navigation in a remote tmux mirror requests a new split, this branch forwards the request but drops its isolated websiteDataStore, causing the request to load in the existing session browser without the expected login state and allowing subsequent authentication state to be retained under the wrong browser profile.

How this was verified: The app-link split passes an isolated data store into newBrowserSplit, while this mirror branch forwards only the URL, request, and focus state.

P2 Split authorization uses temporal state

The workspace-wide isCreatingRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserSplit flag temporally couples browser creation to a separate Bonsplit delegate callback, creating a second owner for split authorization and making future reentrant or callback-timing changes liable to authorize the wrong operation.

Rule Used: Flag Swift fixes that patch symptoms while leaving... (source)

Pass the closing pane to clearRemoteTmuxSessionBrowserPanelIfMatches at Sources/Workspace.swift:13081.

The helper searches current pane tabs, so it cannot find the removed panel during didCloseTab. Pass pane to promote a remaining sibling browser. Pass nil from didClosePane.

Thank you for the per-session browser work. I used the approach of keeping local previews outside the mirrored tmux tree in a fix for a customized ptmux fork: JackiMa#1. That change also supports downloaded file previews and credits Chanh Nguyen as a coauthor. It targets the fork branch.
