15167-15172: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider also logging the recovered session bus path to
glog.This diagnostic uses only
eprintln!. Elsewhere in this file, a comment on the MSIX-container warning notes that MCP clients swallow the gateway's stderr, so that warning is written to botheprintln!andglog. Apply the same pattern here: a user report of "Secret Service unreachable" cannot be diagnosed from stderr alone, but the gateway log (glog) persists and is reachable during support.♻️ Proposed addition
if let Some(bus) = conduit_lib::hostenv::restore_session_bus_env() { eprintln!( "toolport-gateway: recovered the Linux session bus at {}", bus.display() ); + glog(&format!( + "recovered the Linux session bus at {}", + bus.display() + )); }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What and why
Some AI clients launch MCP children without the desktop session environment. On systemd Linux desktops, that prevents Toolport from reaching Secret Service, leaving cached tools visible but unroutable.
Recover the current user's standard session bus only when the address is absent and after validating ownership and socket type. Explicit environment values remain authoritative.
Closes SBS-1060.

No Omarchy or user configuration changes are required.
Note
Medium Risk
Mutates process D-Bus/runtime env used for Secret Service, so a wrong recovery could point vault reads at a dead or unexpected bus. Ownership and socket-type checks plus leaving an explicit address alone keep the blast radius small.
Overview
Linux gateways started with a stripped environment (often only
HOME/USER) can reach Secret Service again. WhenDBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESSis missing, the gateway restores the current user's systemd session bus at/run/user/<uid>/busand fillsXDG_RUNTIME_DIRif needed.Recovery only proceeds after the runtime dir and Unix socket are confirmed to exist and be owned by the effective uid. An explicit bus address is never overwritten. Non-Linux builds are a no-op. Tests cover a successful owned-socket recovery and rejection of another uid or a non-socket
