itself executable and add the shebang while preserving its entrypoint behavior.
In `@companion/README.md`:
- Around line 4-8: Update the desktop workflow description in the README to
reflect that electron/main.mjs provides the normal Companion Settings panel for
start, stop, pairing, and revocation; describe the loopback page as a standalone
control surface rather than saying it replaces the panel.
In `@companion/src/control.ts`:
- Around line 71-74: Update the POST /pairing handling around openPairing to
reject browser requests whose Origin is not an allowed loopback/control origin,
while continuing to allow origin-less Electron main-process requests. Perform
this validation before opening or replacing the pairing window, using the
existing request/response helpers and origin configuration symbols in
control.ts.
In `@companion/src/devices.ts`:
- Around line 169-181: Update authenticate so failures from the lastSeenAt
persistence path, including persist(), are caught and do not propagate;
authentication must still return the matched DeviceRecord when the best-effort
last-seen write fails. Keep token validation and successful persistence behavior
unchanged.
In `@companion/src/listener.ts`:
- Around line 178-214: Update enable() to serialize overlapping calls with an
in-flight promise, ensuring concurrent invocations await the same startup
attempt and only one server is created and assigned. In the failure cleanup
within enable(), call server.close with a callback so ERR_SERVER_NOT_RUNNING is
handled through the callback rather than an unhandled error event.
In `@companion/src/mdns.ts`:
- Around line 174-181: Update the record serialization around encodeName so the
cache-flush bit is omitted for shared PTR records while remaining set for
uniquely owned SRV, TXT, and A records. Adjust the corresponding companion mDNS
test assertion to expect the PTR class without FLUSH and preserve the existing
expectations for the other record types.
In `@companion/src/proxy.ts`:
- Around line 177-199: Separate JSON parsing from scrubbing in the harness end
handler: preserve passthrough only when JSON.parse fails, but ensure any scrub
or serialization failure after a successful parse fails closed without
forwarding the original body. Update scrub in wire.ts to bound recursive
traversal depth so deeply nested payloads cannot exhaust the call stack.
In `@companion/test/mdns.test.ts`:
- Around line 312-317: Update the noise socket setup in the mdns test so each
dgram.Socket.send operation is awaited through its completion callback before
closing noise, and attach an error listener to noise to prevent asynchronous
send errors from becoming uncaught test failures.
In `@companion/test/ports.test.ts`:
- Around line 24-29: Update the child environment created by start so it
preserves the test-provided HOME and USERPROFILE values, or explicitly sets
OMB_COMPANION_DIR to an isolated temporary test directory; keep the existing
PATH and spawn behavior unchanged so DeviceRegistry resolves storage within the
test home.
In `@electron/companion.mjs`:
- Around line 58-114: Serialize companion lifecycle transitions in
startCompanion and stop handling by tracking an in-flight startup promise and
the forked child before polling begins. Make concurrent starts await the
existing startup instead of forking another child, ensure only the intended
child can become proc after /state succeeds, and make stop cancel and await any
in-flight startup child before returning companionState so no sidecar remains
running after stop.
In `@src/components/CompanionSection.tsx`:
- Around line 100-113: Update the polling useEffect around load and the pairing
interval so state refreshes whenever the sidecar is enabled, not only while
state.pairing is active; use state.enabled as the lifecycle condition while
preserving the existing countdown updates and cleanup behavior.

The sidecar is a separate process, and the first version of that meant a terminal command and a browser tab to pair in. That was a bad trade for something the rest of the app does in a panel, and it did not have to be one: the app already forks the harness as a child process, so forking one more is a thing it knows how to do. Settings → Companion turns it on, shows the address to type into the phone, opens a pairing window, lists paired devices and revokes them. Turning it off stops the process, which is still the honest off switch — there is no flag left behind claiming a listener that is not there. - `electron/companion.mjs` owns the lifecycle: `utilityProcess.fork`, and it waits for the control port to answer before reporting success rather than assuming the fork worked. A missing `dist-companion/index.js` reports what to run instead of failing as a timeout. - The renderer never talks to the control port. Everything goes through `ipcMain.handle`, which keeps the UI on one origin, avoids CORS, and puts the narrow list of things the renderer may ask for in one file rather than implying it from whatever the control server happens to serve. - Packaging stages the compiled sidecar beside the harness, and `package:prepare` builds it, so a packaged app has it and a dev checkout gets told to run `pnpm build:companion`. The panel reports rather than guesses. When there is no MagicDNS name it says which Tailscale CLI paths were tried and what each said, because telling someone to turn on MagicDNS when they already have it on is worse than saying nothing. Depends on the previous change, which adds `companion/`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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>

CI went red on ubuntu-latest with an EACCES from rmSync in the afterAll of
server/index.test.ts — every assertion in the file had passed. The suite
died cleaning up after itself, which is the least informative way a run can
fail.
Two races, one symptom. The teardown asked the child to die and then
immediately deleted the directory it was writing into:
setTimeout(() => (child.kill("SIGKILL"), resolve()), 5_000)
That resolve() fires in the same tick as the kill, so rmSync could start
while the process was still alive. And rmSync had no retry, so the first
transient EACCES failed the file — even though a temp directory that
outlives a test says nothing about the code under test.
server/testing/setup.ts had already met this and grown a retry-and-warn
loop for it. That fix just never reached the two suites that spawn a real
harness. Lift it into server/testing/cleanup.ts alongside a waitForExit
that escalates to SIGKILL only after a grace period and then keeps waiting
for close, and use both from all three teardowns.
companion/test/proxy.test.ts carried the same copy of the racing teardown,
so it gets the same fix before it can fail the same way.
Verified: an undeletable path warns and returns instead of throwing; a
child that ignores SIGTERM is waited out through the escalation rather
than raced; a clean exit still resolves promptly instead of stalling for
the full grace period. Full suite green — 64 files, 542 passed, 8 skipped.

changed the title
The proxy prepared every JSON body under one try/catch:
try {
text = JSON.stringify(scrub(JSON.parse(body)));
} catch {
/* not JSON after all — send what we were given */
}
The comment describes one failure. The block covers three, and they do not
mean the same thing. A body that will not parse was never JSON and there is
nothing in it to redact, so forwarding it verbatim is right. A body that
parses but will not scrub is the opposite: it is structured, and scrub is
the only thing keeping resume cursors off the wire to a device. Falling back
to the raw body there sends exactly what the scrubber exists to withhold.
Not a hypothetical. scrub recurses once per level, so a body nested a few
thousand deep throws RangeError while JSON.parse handles it without
complaint — at depth 5000 on this runtime, parse succeeds and scrub throws.
The old code caught that as "not JSON after all" and forwarded the original.
Split the two: parse failure still passes through, scrub or stringify
failure answers 502 and sends nothing. Response re-framing moves into a
local `forward` so both paths share it — which also fixes it honouring the
upstream status rather than hardcoding the captured one.
The new test asserts the invariant rather than the mechanism: whatever comes
back, it is never a 200 carrying the field the scrubber removes. That holds
on any stack size. Against the previous code it fails on exactly that line.

Both transitions guard with a check and then await, which is not a guard at
all once two of them overlap. Three ways it goes wrong, all ending with the
toggle and reality disagreeing:
- two concurrent starts both pass `if (proc)` and fork two sidecars
- a start that fails overwrites the `proc` a start that succeeded just set
- a stop issued during startup finds `proc` still null, so it kills
nothing — and the start it raced then publishes a sidecar the user has
already switched off
The last one is the one a user would actually hit, by double-clicking the
toggle, and it leaves a process listening off-machine after the UI says it
is off.
Queue every transition on a promise chain so one finishes before the next
begins. The chain absorbs rejections rather than propagating them, or a
single failed start would poison every transition after it.

Binding loopback is not a defence against a browser. Any page on the internet can aim a form POST at http://127.0.0.1:8811/pairing, and the Host header on that request is the loopback one this server already approves. A form POST needs no preflight, so nothing stops it leaving. Same-origin policy hides the reply, so the attacker never reads the pairing code. That is not the whole harm: the window still opens, and a six-digit code is then sitting on the victim's screen waiting to be talked out of them. Require a loopback Origin, or none, for anything that is not GET or HEAD. Absence is the Electron main process and the phone's own client — not browsers, and not what a CSRF check is aimed at. The literal string "null", which a sandboxed iframe and a file:// page both send, is refused: treating it as absent would hand the hole straight back. Safe methods are untouched, since the SOP already stops a foreign page reading a reply and this server sets no CORS headers to weaken that. proxy.ts already refuses any Origin outright. The control plane should not have been the laxer of the two. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd
authenticate() refreshes a "last seen" timestamp and persists it. The write was unguarded, so a full disk or a read-only home turned a decoration in a settings panel into a thrown exception on the authentication path — every request, for every paired device, with nothing in the failure that points at the real cause. Catch it. The token is still valid; the timestamp can be stale. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd
mdns: the garbage-on-the-socket test fired three datagrams without waiting and closed the socket underneath them. Closing with sends still queued can drop them, which would leave the assertion afterwards proving the responder survived garbage it was never sent — and an unhandled 'error' on a dgram socket is an uncaught exception that surfaces as some other file failing. Await each send, attach an error listener, await the close. ports: the spawned sidecar inherited PATH and nothing else, so with no HOME or USERPROFILE it fell back to the account running the suite. DeviceRegistry is constructed at module scope, before the port check these tests are about, and reads its device file from homedir() — so the child was reading whatever real paired fleet the developer has. Read-only, so nothing was damaged, but the suite's throwaway home is already on process.env and should travel. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd
mdns's advertisableAddresses() was a second copy of listener's lanAddresses(), filter for filter. Duplication that stays correct until one side learns about a new interface type and the other does not — and the failure then is a phone that discovers the computer but cannot reach it. Keep the name, which says why mDNS wants the list, and call the one implementation. package.json points bin at src/index.ts, which had no shebang and was tracked 100644, so POSIX execution could not start Node. Add the shebang and the executable bit. The README said running the process is the opt-in and there is no toggle to forget. There is one now — this PR adds it. Describe the loopback page as the standalone surface and Settings → Companion as the normal desktop path.

Four things that all end the same way — this process holding memory or a socket that nothing will ever free. An upstream with no deadline: a harness that accepts the connection and then says nothing is not the same as one that is down, and only the second has an error to report. Without a timer the first pins the device's request open forever. 30s, set on the request so it covers connect and first byte alike, and explicitly lifted for SSE — an idle stream is a healthy stream, and this timer would kill every one of them. The two outcomes now say different things, because "not running" and "not answering" want different responses from the person reading them. SSE ignoring backpressure: res.write()'s return value was discarded, so a phone that has walked out of wifi — connected, not reading — leaves every unwritten frame queued in this process while the harness keeps producing. Pause the upstream and resume on drain, which lets the backpressure reach the harness instead of stopping here. An SSE buffer with no bound: the scrubber accumulates until it sees "\n\n", which never arrives on a CRLF-framed stream or on something that is not SSE at all despite the content-type. Cap it, and drop rather than trim — a partial event is not recoverable, so losing the frame and staying live is the honest outcome. sendJson writing to a response already begun: the upstream error handler can fire long after the SSE headers were flushed, and writeHead then throws ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT from inside an error handler. Destroy the socket instead; the device already knows how to reconnect from a dropped stream.

enable() checks this.server and then awaits a bind, so two overlapping calls
both see null, both bind the same port, and the loser is left listening with
no reference to it anywhere — a socket open on the network that nothing can
close short of ending the process. disable() racing enable() is the mirror:
it clears a field the in-flight enable is about to set, and the port stays
open while the state says it is off.
Queue both through one transition chain, the same shape used for the
sidecar's own lifecycle in electron/companion.mjs.
Separately, the bind used a bare once("error"), which is spent the first
time it fires. Anything the server emitted afterwards — during the close in
the failure path, or from a socket that dies after a successful bind —
reached a server with no error listener, and an unhandled 'error' is an
uncaught exception that takes the sidecar down. Attach one for the server's
whole life and layer the bind-specific handler on top.
The tests assert the leak directly rather than through the object's own
account of itself: after disable, the port must be bindable again. An
orphaned server fails that no matter what state() claims.
RemoteListener has no callers yet — index.ts builds its listener directly —
so this is ahead of its use rather than fixing a live bug.

The sidecar had two Authorization parsers that disagreed. proxy.ts accepted a case-insensitive "bearer ", devices.ts required exactly "Bearer " — so whether a header authenticated depended on which code path met it. RFC 7235 §2.1 makes the scheme case-insensitive, which means the strict one was the wrong one to keep. Relax it, and have the proxy call it rather than carry a second copy. redeem() pushed the device and then persisted. A throw there left it paired in memory and absent from disk: working until the next restart, then not, with the phone holding a token that stops working for no reason it can show. Roll the push back and return the failure, so the user retries now. That is the opposite call from the lastSeenAt write, deliberately. A timestamp is worth losing to keep a working phone working; a pairing is not worth pretending to have saved.

Startup treated any answer on the control port as proof the fork worked. A sidecar started by hand, or left behind by a previous run, answers exactly the same — and gets adopted. The toggle then drives a process it does not own, and stopping it does nothing the user can see. The control state now carries the sidecar's pid and startup matches it against the child it forked. stop() called kill() and returned. kill asks; it does not wait. The next start then raced a sidecar still holding the port and failed for a reason that had already stopped being true. Wait for the exit, bounded, so a wedged child cannot leave Settings stuck either. Both panels polled on the wrong schedule. Settings → Companion only polled while a pairing code was on screen, so a sidecar that exited on its own — port taken, crash, a stop from the standalone page — left the panel showing a companion that had not existed for hours. The loopback page had the opposite problem: a fixed one-second poll for as long as the tab stayed open. Both now run at one second while pairing and ten otherwise, and the page's is self-scheduling so a slow reply cannot stack another poll behind it.

The docstring gate reads 56% against an 80% threshold, and the gap is real: whole files of exported functions with nothing saying what they are for. Says what each one is and, where it is not obvious, why it exists — the compression pointers in the mDNS encoder, the dedupe key that deliberately excludes TTL, which of the two registry write paths swallows a failure and which does not. No behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd

CI went red again on ubuntu, the same shape as before and a different file:
ENOTEMPTY from rmSync in the afterAll of server/comms.test.ts, every
assertion passed. comms.test.ts held the same copy-pasted teardown I fixed
in index.test.ts and proxy.test.ts — kill, resolve in the same tick, then
delete the directory the process is still writing into.
Fixing the two files that had failed and stopping there was the mistake. The
pattern was in five files, so this sweeps for it instead of waiting to be
told about the next one:
- comms, unattended, branching: the exact child-process teardown, now
waitForExit + removeTempDir. Every "SIGKILL then resolve() alongside it"
in the repo is gone.
- env-path, and the acp/claude/codex/opencode-go driver tests: no such
race, but they delete scratch directories that a spawned CLI was using
moments earlier, which is the same hazard one step removed. They get the
retrying remove.
Left alone: fifteen rmSync calls that clear an in-process DATA_DIR or
EVENTS_DIR with no child anywhere near them. Nothing to race, and rewriting
them would be churn rather than a fix.
Verified: full suite twice, clean both times, with no EACCES/ENOTEMPTY/EPERM
in either log — 67 files, 561 passed, 8 skipped. typecheck, check:electron,
build:companion and the production UI build all pass.

Four remaining comments, none of them behaviour changes to the sidecar
itself.
waitForExit now takes the signal to send. Every caller was writing
kill("SIGTERM") and then waiting out a grace period that had already started
counting from the call before it — one argument makes "stop it, and know
that it stopped" a single operation, and removes the chance of waiting on a
child nobody signalled. The old numeric second argument still works.
proxy.test.ts probed for its ports instead of guessing. It needs three: the
harness, the webhook receiver the harness quietly opens one above itself,
and the sidecar ten above that. A blind random base is fine until a second
suite runs at the same time, and then the loser fails at a bind it never
checked — which reports as anything except "that port was taken". The new
helper asks for the exact offsets, since the set a suite needs is rarely
contiguous. It is a probe and not a reservation, and says so.
The pairing-expiry test moves the clock rather than the object. Ageing the
window returned by openPairing() only works while that object is the
registry's own; the contract is that expiry is evaluated on read against the
wall clock, so the clock is the thing to control. It now also checks the
tick before the TTL, so the assertion is about expiry rather than about
pairing being broken outright.
Three README code fences were untagged (markdownlint MD040) — a diagram,
sample output and a file listing, all `text`.

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.

Also fixed two CI failures that were pre-existing latent races in test teardown Not verified: the packaged-app fork path on macOS. |
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
Eleven commits landed on main since this branch forked, three of them touching files this PR also touches. The conflicts, and their resolutions: - src/state/store.tsx, src/components/SettingsModal.tsx: both sides added a Settings section — upstream "Engines", this branch "Companion". Keep both, Engines first to match upstream's placement, Companion beside it. - server/index.test.ts: upstream added a config test that reads the file back (readFileSync); this branch had removed rmSync from the same import when the teardown moved to removeTempDir. Keep readFileSync, leave rmSync out — nothing uses it anymore. Everything else merged clean, including upstream's own additions to the test files this branch had reworked (new comms fleet instances, the splitCliString import) landing on top of the waitForExit/removeTempDir teardowns without friction. Verified on the merged tree: typecheck, full suite (73 files, 622 passed, 8 skipped — upstream's new suites included), check:electron, build:companion, production UI build. No teardown errors in the log. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd
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.

One commit landed upstream since the last sync: milind-soni#190, which adds an oxlint "anti-slop" ruleset, deletes the checked-in dist-server/ build output, and gitignores it. The only conflict was .gitignore — this branch ignores dist-companion, upstream now ignores dist-server. Keep both. The dist-server/ deletions ride along in the merge, which incidentally satisfies this PR's own checklist line about never editing that directory. Note for later: `pnpm lint` is not wired into CI and the existing server/ code does not pass it either, so this merge takes the ruleset as-is without attempting to lint the companion code against it. Verified on the merged tree: typecheck, full suite (73 files, 622 passed, 8 skipped), check:electron, build:companion, production UI build.

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.

Fifteen commits since the last sync. One conflict, and it is the good kind: upstream's f66d30f fixed the Linux scratch-cleanup flake in server/index.test.ts with an inline retry loop — the same flake this branch fixed at the root two syncs ago. Their loop still resolves in the same tick as the SIGKILL, which is the race itself, so the resolution keeps this branch's waitForExit + removeTempDir and notes that it carries upstream's intent. Everything else merged clean, including upstream's own churn in env-path.test.ts and store.tsx landing over this branch's edits. Verified on the merged tree: typecheck, full suite — now 84 files, 789 passed, 8 skipped, upstream's new suites included — check:electron, build:companion, production UI build. No teardown errors in the log. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ACfMX71nKJyzHU5Z3by3dd
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.
The toggle layer lands on top of the unioned companion/ from the sidecar branch, which already folds in every fix this line made to the sidecar — its own copies resolve wholesale to the union. Kept from this line: the electron toggle itself, the Companion settings section, and the newer test teardown primitives (waitForExit and removeTempDir), which all four spawning suites now use; the sidecar branch's stopAndClean and teardown.ts retire in their favour. Kept from the sidecar branch: the explicit OMB_COMPANION_DIR redirect in test setup, and the Windows dying-stdin guard in procs.ts. The RemoteListener suite goes with the class it tested — deleted with its last caller. The README regains the Settings → Companion paragraph, which belongs at this layer where the toggle exists.

What changed
Settings gains a Companion panel: turn it on, see the address to type into the phone, open a pairing window, list paired devices, revoke them. Turning it off stops the process.
electron/companion.mjsowns the lifecycle viautilityProcess.fork, and waits for the control port to answer before reporting success rather than assuming the fork worked. A missingdist-companion/index.jsreports what to run instead of failing as a timeout.ipcMain.handle, which keeps the UI on one origin, avoids CORS, and puts the narrow list of things the renderer may ask for in one file rather than implying it from whatever the control server happens to serve.package:preparebuilds it — so a packaged app has it, and a dev checkout is told to runpnpm build:companion.check:electronnow coverscompanion.mjsalong with the other plain-JS entrypoints.There is still no flag left behind claiming a listener that is not there: off means the process is stopped.
Why
Part 1 is a separate process, and the first version of that meant a terminal command and a browser tab to pair in. That is a bad trade for something the rest of the app does in a panel — and it did not have to be one, because the app already forks the harness as a child process, so forking one more is a thing it already knows how to do.
The panel also reports rather than guesses. When there is no MagicDNS name it lists which Tailscale CLI paths were tried and what each said, because telling someone to turn on MagicDNS when they already have it on is worse than saying nothing. (That is what an earlier version did, and it sent me looking in the wrong place.)
How it was verified
pnpm typecheck,pnpm test(64 files, 542 passed, 8 skipped) andpnpm check:electronall pass.Not verified, stated plainly: the packaged-app path.
package:preparebuilds and stages the sidecar, but I have run this from a dev checkout, not from a built.dmg. Worth a look before merging if that matters to you.Screenshots (UI changes)
