In `@companion/package.json`:
- Around line 7-9: Remove the unused bin declaration for openmausbot-companion,
since the documented pnpm companion entry point is the supported invocation. If
a package command is required, first emit a package-local JavaScript entry with
an executable shebang and update bin to reference that generated file instead of
src/index.ts.
In `@companion/README.md`:
- Around line 67-76: Update the environment-variable table to document the
actual OMB_COMPANION_NAME default behavior, including the harness profile name
when available and OpenMausBot as fallback, and add OMB_WEBHOOK_PORT with its
default of OMB_PORT plus one. Preserve the existing port-conflict explanation.
In `@companion/src/control.ts`:
- Around line 51-63: Update createControlServer to reject any request carrying
an Origin header, before handling control routes, matching the existing behavior
in the proxy server. Preserve the current Host validation and return the
established forbidden response for rejected requests.
In `@companion/src/devices.ts`:
- Around line 87-99: Update the device filter in the constructor to validate and
normalize the remaining DeviceRecord fields, especially lastSeenAt and name, so
every loaded record provides usable values for control.ts rendering; preserve
valid id and tokenHash records while assigning appropriate defaults for missing
or invalid fields.
- Around line 138-151: Update redeem so sameCode validation and attemptsLeft
handling occur before checking the MAX_DEVICES limit. Invalid codes must always
consume an attempt and return only the generic code error, while valid codes may
then receive the existing “too many paired devices” response.
In `@companion/src/index.ts`:
- Around line 141-146: Update the pre-listen validation in the companion startup
flow to reject configurations where COMPANION_PORT equals CONTROL_PORT,
alongside the existing conflict checks, before either listen call. Add a port
test covering this equal-port configuration and verify it is rejected before
binding begins.
In `@companion/src/listener.ts`:
- Around line 178-214: Update enable() so the server retains a persistent error
handler after the listening promise resolves, rather than removing the only
handler in onListening. Preserve the existing bind-failure handling and ensure
later server errors are handled without becoming uncaught exceptions.
In `@companion/src/mdns.ts`:
- Around line 445-466: Update stop() to wait for the asynchronous goodbye
datagram initiated by this.send() to complete before calling socket.close(),
while applying a short timeout so shutdown cannot block indefinitely. Preserve
the existing error tolerance and socket-close resolution behavior.
In `@companion/src/proxy.ts`:
- Around line 174-198: Update the harness “end” handler to preserve the raw
response body whenever harness.headers contains a content-encoding value other
than identity: skip UTF-8 decoding, JSON scrubbing, and re-serialization, retain
the original content-encoding header, and forward the bytes unchanged. Keep the
existing JSON rewrite and framing-header cleanup only for unencoded or
identity-encoded responses.
- Around line 125-206: Add a response-headers-only timeout to the upstream
request around the `upstream` response callback, clearing it once headers
arrive; on expiry, destroy the upstream request and return a 502 response. Keep
SSE connections exempt after headers are received, and guard the
`upstream.on("error")` handler so `sendJson` is not called when `res` has
already started.
In `@companion/test/proxy.test.ts`:
- Around line 296-361: Configure OMB_COMPANION_DIR to the suite’s temporary
directory before DeviceRegistry is created, preserving cleanup through the
existing afterAll lifecycle. In the pairing test, select the revoked device from
state.devices by matching the paired name “Ada’s iPhone” instead of using
state.devices[0], then issue the DELETE request for that device’s id.
Apply the same fix in `@companion/test/devices.test.ts` around lines 8 - 21: The
same temporary directory must be configured before imports so this suite cannot
delete real companion state.

A phone cannot reach the harness, and should not be able to. The loopback gate refuses any request whose Host is not local, which is exactly right for a process holding provider keys and an approval switch — the guarantee is structural, and weakening it to let a phone in would weaken it for everyone. So this does not weaken it. `companion/` is a separate process that speaks to the harness as this machine, over loopback, exactly as the desktop window does. The harness needs no changes and does not know the sidecar exists. phone ──LAN/tailnet──▶ companion :8810 ──loopback──▶ harness :8799 Three sockets, and the split between them is the security model: :8810 0.0.0.0 devices — token required, allowlisted, scrubbed :8811 127.0.0.1 you — pairing and revocation, never off-machine :8799 127.0.0.1 the harness, unmodified - **Pairing** is a six-digit code shown on the computer and typed into the phone, redeemed once, inside a window, for a token. A token is per-device and revocable, and revocation is loopback-only: losing the phone must not mean losing the ability to lock it out. - **The allowlist is default deny**, per method and path — the list is every request the app makes, and nothing else. A route the harness gains later is closed to devices until someone adds it here on purpose. Anything else gets "no route", which keeps a stolen token from enumerating the API. - **A browser is refused before the token is read.** A native app sends no Origin; anything that does has found this port and has no business on it. - **Responses are scrubbed** of the harness's own bookkeeping, on JSON and on the SSE stream alike. The SSE transform emits an event the moment it is complete and never touches the blank-line terminator or the `id:` line — both of which have silently broken this project before. - **Ports stay clear of the harness**, which owns two: itself, and the webhook receiver one above it. Overlap is refused by name before anything binds, rather than raced for and lost by whoever started second. - **Discovery** is a zero-dependency mDNS responder, so the phone finds the computer by name on a LAN. Failing is not an error anyone has to fix — pairing by typed address still works, and the page says so. Tests boot a real harness and drive it through a real proxy, because every bug this design can have lives in the seam between them and none are visible to a unit test: SSE arriving but never terminating an event, a cursor dropped in transit, the loopback gate rejecting a proxied request. The allowlist is tested directly, including that a route it has never heard of is denied. Nothing here is wired into the app — `pnpm companion` runs it, and running it is the opt-in. The Settings toggle is a separate change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Seven fixes from the review of milind-soni#159, each one a case the original handled by assuming it would not happen. **The control plane was open to any page you were reading.** Host is checked, which stops DNS rebinding, and stops nothing else: 127.0.0.1 is a real address to a browser, a POST to it carries a correct Host, and a simple request is never preflighted — so CORS never gets a say. The page cannot read the reply and does not need to: `POST /pairing` opens a pairing window and `DELETE /devices/:id` revokes a phone, both on the way in. Origin separates the two callers, and the control page's own writes carry this server's origin, so it is matched against Host rather than refused outright. A blanket refusal is what the device port can afford — there, no legitimate client is a browser. Here exactly one is. **A quiet harness held the phone forever.** `http.request` has no deadline for the headers phase, so a harness that accepted the socket and then said nothing left the device's request open until somebody killed something. Thirty seconds on the headers only: once they arrive the clock is off, which is what an SSE stream — a response that deliberately never ends — requires. **Two ways to grow memory without a bound**, both reachable by a device just being slow or an upstream just being broken: the SSE relay ignored what `res.write` returned, so a phone reading slower than the harness writes put the difference in this process; and the scrubber buffered to a frame boundary, which is bounded only by the sender sending one. Backpressure now pauses the harness, and the event buffer has a ceiling. Passing it drops the stream — there is no safe way to flush half an event, since unterminated corrupts it and unscrubbed defeats the file. **`isJson` missed `+json`.** One RFC 9457 error response and `resumeCursors` reaches a phone unscrubbed. **The sidecar's own two ports could be set to the same number**, which bound in order and failed with an EADDRINUSE naming a port the person can see nothing on. Refused by name, like the harness's ports already were. **A bound socket still emits `error`** — EMFILE on accept, which is what a phone reconnecting a stream in a loop eventually causes. The bind handler was removed on `listening`, so that became an uncaught exception: the sidecar dies and every paired phone loses the machine over one refused connection. In `RemoteListener` the same throw lands inside the harness itself. **0700 and 0600 on the data directory.** What it holds is one hash per paired phone rather than a token, so this is posture rather than a hole — but the default published to every account on the machine which phones someone owns and when they last used them. Tests cover each: cross-origin write refused and same-origin admitted, the quiet harness answered 504 rather than hung, an unterminated event ending the stream instead of growing it, the `+json` suffix, and the port collision.

The remainder of milind-soni#159's review, plus the findings the first round of fixes attracted. Grouped by what they are rather than by who raised them. **Cleanup that never happened.** A device that walks out of range mid-request left the harness talking to nobody: the SSE path hung up on its upstream, and the other two did not — a piped download kept being produced, and a JSON response kept being buffered. Both now go through one rule, placed where it covers the case neither branch could: a phone that disappears *before* the harness has answered at all. Guarded on `writableEnded` so an ordinary finished response does not tear down a keep-alive socket on its way out. The request direction gets the same treatment. While there: that JSON buffer had no ceiling. It is the size of the response, and nothing upstream promises that is small. **`[::1]` is loopback.** `Host: [::1]:8811` split on its first colon is `[`, which matches no allowlist — so the sidecar refused the address the browser was handed. Bracketed literals are unwrapped, and only a port may follow the bracket: without that, `[::1].evil.example` unwraps to `::1` and the parser becomes the hole rather than the fix. **A full fleet answered a wrong code with "too many paired devices."** The limit was checked before the code was, so a guesser learned something about the machine and paid none of their five attempts for it. Order swapped. The window survives a full fleet, so removing a phone and retyping the same code still works. **Records loaded from disk are normalised.** `id` and `tokenHash` decide whether a record is a device at all; the rest is display, and a phone that works is not worth discarding over a missing field. What the missing field used to produce was a list entry called "undefined", last seen "NaN min ago". **mDNS: three.** The goodbye datagram was fired and the socket closed in the same tick, which discards it — so the records it withdraws sat in caches for 75 minutes pointing at a computer that had stopped answering. Announcements went to the bind port rather than to 5353, which is a port nobody listens on and throws outright when the bind was ephemeral. And the responder answered queries from any source, which is a reflector: the answer is larger than the question, so a spoofed address turns the socket into an amplifier (RFC 6762 §5.5, §11). **Seven Tailscale probes at five seconds each** is thirty-five seconds of startup when several hang — and they hang together, since the reason is usually the same one. One budget for the loop; the rest are reported skipped rather than silently dropped. **`RemoteListener` is gone.** A socket lifecycle with no callers, left behind when the companion moved out of the harness. Deleting it answers the race that was found in it, on the grounds that the fastest correct version of unused code is no code. **And the small ones:** the `bin` entry pointed at a `.ts` file with no shebang that Node will not execute; the README documented a default for `OMB_COMPANION_NAME` that the code does not use and omitted `OMB_WEBHOOK_PORT` entirely; the proxy test picked its ports at random from a 3000-wide range, which collides with whatever else is running and reads as a failure of the code under test; the pairing test revoked `devices[0]` rather than the device it had just paired; and the suite now names `OMB_COMPANION_DIR` explicitly rather than relying on a redirected HOME two files away — the device tests delete that directory, and a delete should not stand on that footing. Docstrings on the exported surface throughout, which the coverage gate wants and which the file-level comments were carrying alone. `pnpm typecheck` clean, 550 passing.

CI went red on macOS and Windows and stayed green on Linux, which is the shape of a mistake in the previous commit rather than of a flake. That commit replaced the proxy test's randomly-chosen harness port with `listen(0)`, on the reasoning that a port the kernel picks is a port that is definitely free. It is — for as long as you hold it. The probe then closes so the harness can bind it, and `listen(0)` allocates from the operating system's *ephemeral* range: 49152+ on macOS and Windows, the range every outbound socket draws from. Between the probe closing and the harness binding, anything on the machine can take that port, and on those two runners something did. Linux allocates from higher up and quieter, so it passed, which is the worst possible outcome for noticing. Verified-free was the right half of that idea; ephemeral was the wrong half. Candidates now come from a fixed range below every platform's dynamic range, each still verified by binding it, and retried when taken. The failure also took forty seconds to say nothing. Three reasons, all fixed, because the next boot problem should be legible on the first read: - The sidecar's own `listen` had no error path, so a bind failure emitted `error`, never called back, and hung the hook to its timeout. - The health-check `fetch` had no timeout, so a port where something accepts without answering hangs the loop past its own deadline. - The boot deadline assumed laptop speed. Forty-five seconds now, in a hook that allows ninety — a cold Windows runner starting a type-stripping Node process is not a laptop.

The disconnect test aborts once the request has reached the upstream — which it established by sleeping 250ms and assuming. That is a bet on how fast the machine is, and the commit before last lost exactly that bet on two of three CI platforms. On a runner slow enough to miss the window, the stub's handler has not run when the abort lands, so the response it was going to close never exists, and the test waits on a promise nothing will resolve. The stub now says when it has the request, and the abort waits for that. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QJjRfjb48qJdxJzfKSPoAa
Ubuntu went red on `rmSync(home)` in server/index.test.ts with EACCES — a test this branch does not touch, failing for a reason this repository has already diagnosed once. `server/testing/setup.ts` carries the diagnosis in a comment: a signal is a request, not an event. `kill` returns when the signal is delivered, not when the process is gone, and a process that is still alive is still creating files under its home. Resolving in the same tick as SIGKILL starts the delete against a live writer. A laptop wins that race every time and a loaded runner loses it, which is why it reads as a phantom rather than as a bug — and why it surfaced here as a permissions error in a suite that had nothing to do with whatever was slow that day. The fix was applied to `setup.ts` and nowhere else. Four spawning tests still had the original: index, unattended, branching, comms. It is the same twenty lines each time, so it is one function now — wait for `close` with a floor under it, then retry the delete briefly, and never fail a green suite over a temp directory. Found while confirming the macOS and Windows fix in the previous commit landed. It did: both platforms pass, and this is what was underneath.

Both of these were checks that looked like checks and stopped short of being ones. **The Tailscale budget only asked.** `execFile`'s timeout sends SIGTERM, and a wedged CLI is free to ignore it — so the deadline that the previous commit described as bounding startup bounded a polite request to stop, and nothing else. SIGKILL is not a request. And `status --json` describes the whole tailnet against a default 1 MiB cap: a large enough tailnet failed the probe with ENOBUFS, which is indistinguishable from "Tailscale is not installed" in everything the user sees. Explicit and generous, but still a bound — the alternative is a subprocess deciding how much memory this process uses. **An unparseable Host skipped the loopback check.** The guard read `if (host && host !== "127.0.0.1" && …)`, so a Host that parsed to nothing was waved through — and `::1` and `:8811` both parse to nothing, being malformed: an IPv6 literal has to be bracketed, and a port needs a host in front of it. The check declined to have an opinion in exactly the cases it should have refused. Only an *absent* Host skips now, which is HTTP/1.0 and predates the attack; anything present and unrecognised is refused, that being the only safe direction for a check whose job is to say no. Neither is a way into this server on its own — it binds 127.0.0.1, and the Origin check added earlier is what actually stops a browser. Both are the belt this file claims to be wearing.

`freePorts` verifies a port by binding it and then releases it, so the real listener can take it. That makes two calls to it non-independent in the one direction that matters: by the time the second runs, the first call's ports are free again, and free is exactly what it goes looking for. It could hand back a port already spoken for — a one-in-a-few-thousand collision, and precisely the collision this helper was added to rule out. Three consecutive ports, asked for once: the harness, its webhook receiver one above it, and the sidecar above that. Third time this file's port handling has been wrong, and each time the bug was in the gap between "this port is free" and "this port is still free when something binds it".

One conflict, in server/index.test.ts, and it is the good kind: both sides fixed things near the same import line. This branch moved the teardown into server/testing/stopAndClean and dropped its direct rmSync; upstream added readFileSync for a new config test and still had the old teardown. Resolution keeps upstream's readFileSync and this branch's teardown — the same same-tick-SIGKILL race this branch fixed in four files is what upstream's copy still had. Everything else merged clean. 611 tests pass on the result. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QJjRfjb48qJdxJzfKSPoAa
The merge went red on Windows only: six comms tests failing in a row with ECONNRESET, starting at "finalizes a delegated turn interrupted by provider reload" and running to the end of the file. Consecutive-from-a-point is the signature of the harness process itself dying mid-suite — every later fetch found a dead socket. The death is a platform asymmetry in what happens between killing a child and writing to it. Provider reload disposes the fleet; dispose kills the hung CLI; settling the turn answers its pending permission asks, and those answers go out over the child's stdin. On POSIX the kill is synchronous, the stream is already destroyed, and the write throws into the try/catch that wraps every send. On Windows the kill goes through taskkill — a subprocess — so there is a window where the child is dead but its pipe is not, and the write fails *asynchronously*, as an error event on the stream. No driver listens on stdin, an unlistened stream error is an uncaught exception, and the harness exits over one dead CLI. One listener in spawnCli, which is where every driver gets its child from. Swallowed rather than logged: the error carries nothing the drivers don't already learn from `close`, which is where every one of them settles the turn. Pre-existing upstream — reachable since the delegation lifecycle work — but this branch's merge is where CI first ran the reload path on Windows with a turn deliberately left hanging.

Two conflicts, both the shape of parallel evolution rather than disagreement: - server/index.test.ts: upstream added a bounded rmSync retry for the Linux scratch-cleanup failure — the same symptom this branch had already root-caused. Kept this branch's stopAndClean, which also waits out the same-tick-SIGKILL race that makes the retry necessary in the first place. - .gitignore: both sides appended at the same spot; dist-companion and dist-server both stay. The stdin error listener in spawnCli and the shared teardown both survive the merge, alongside upstream's model-picker, community-team, and boundary-validation work. 768 tests pass on the result.

@milind-soni - this is ready for your review. This is the first one of changes for iOS, PR#160 is second and PR#161 is all the iOS code for the companion app. |
The sidecar was reviewed three times in parallel — on its own PR, under the toggle PR, and under the iOS PR — and each line fixed what its review found. This folds all three into one, keeping the strongest version wherever two lines fixed the same thing differently: From the iOS line: CRLF/bare-CR-tolerant SSE framing; the mDNS on-link check derived from interface netmasks rather than an RFC 1918 prefix guess, plus byte-budget clamping for TXT names; device-record normalization that rejects zero and negative timestamps; named state-file modes; the byte-pipe branch destroying the response when the harness dies mid-image; a 16 MiB ceiling on `tailscale status` output. From the toggle line: fail-closed scrubbing — a response that parses but cannot be scrubbed is a 502, never forwarded raw; pairing that rolls back and reports when the write fails, and a lastSeenAt write failure that no longer signs a phone out; `originIsLoopback` on the control plane; a runnable bin (shebang, exec bit, restored bin entry); the self-scheduling control-page poll. Kept from this line where others regressed it: `+json` structured-suffix scrubbing; the fail-closed SSE ceiling (the toggle line's cap silently dropped a frame); the goodbye-datagram flush; the headers-phase deadline with its 504/502 distinction; the pairing code checked before the device cap, so a wrong guess cannot probe fleet state. One bearer parser everywhere, case-insensitive per RFC 7235.
The coverage each review round produced, folded into one suite: the CRLF framing trio and the on-link and byte-clamp suites from the iOS line; the control-plane suite, the fail-closed response suite, and the failing-disk device cases from the toggle line; this line's verified-free-port harness kept as the skeleton throughout. Two assertions changed meaning on purpose, both because the reconciled control plane keeps the strictest of the three origin policies — only the exact addressed authority passes. A cross-origin GET is now refused (a safe-method list is a list that goes stale the day a read starts leaking), and a loopback origin on any other port is refused with it. The toggle line's RemoteListener suite is deliberately absent: the class it tests was deleted with its last caller. 9 files, 113 tests.

What changed
A new top-level
companion/directory: a standalone Node process that lets a paired phone reach the harness, without the harness changing at all.Three sockets, and the split between them is the security model:
:88100.0.0.0:8811127.0.0.1:8799127.0.0.1no route, so a stolen token cannot enumerate the API.Origin; anything that does has found this port and has no business on it.id:line.Nothing is wired into the app here.
pnpm companionruns it, and running it is the opt-in. The Settings toggle is part 2.Why
The loopback gate is right, and this does not weaken it. A process holding provider keys and an approval switch should refuse any request whose
Hostis not local — that guarantee is structural, and punching a hole in it for a phone punches it for everyone.So the phone does not talk to the harness. It talks to a separate process that talks to the harness over loopback, exactly as the desktop window does. The gate is satisfied by construction, and the harness needs no changes and does not know the sidecar exists —
server/is untouched by this PR.No new runtime dependencies: the mDNS responder, the SSE transform and the device registry are plain Node, in keeping with "don't introduce a dependency where thirty lines will do".
How it was verified
pnpm typecheckandpnpm test— 64 files, 542 passed, 8 skipped. Run on Linux, Node 22.companion/test/proxy.test.tsboots the real harness as a child process and drives it through the real proxy, because every bug this design can have lives in the seam between them and none are visible to a unit test: SSE arriving but never terminating an event, a cursor dropped in transit, the loopback gate rejecting a proxied request. It covers pairing end to end — a code issued on the control server, redeemed through the device socket, the token then used and revoked.companion/test/routes.test.tstests the allowlist directly, including that a route it has never heard of is denied. Those assertions fail against a permissive gate, which is how I know they are not vacuous.companion/test/ports.test.tscovers the refusal to bind a port the harness owns.Not verified, stated plainly:
