Complete: remote-terminal as an ordinary Surface, not a separate workspace (#1086/#1091)

Per the owner's direction on #1086: a remote session should behave exactly like a local one — a tab inside a normal, renameable, color-taggable local workspace — not a separate "attached remote workspace" entity with its own sidebar row (the model #1067/#1094 built and which this supersedes; #1094 is left open, not closed here).

Stage 1 (already merged into this branch)

Surface.surfaceType gains a 'remote-terminal' variant (remoteHostId/remoteSessionId, ptyId: '' like browser), and a new addRemoteSurface store action mirrors addBrowserSurface — both add a surface to an EXISTING leaf in a workspace's own pane tree, never create a new workspace.

Stage 2 (this update)

  • Render: Pane.tsx renders a remote-terminal surface as an ordinary tab via a new RemotePaneSurface component — the attach/detach lifecycle from RemoteWorkspaceView's PaneCell (teardown-then-attach ordering, idempotent per (host, session)), adapted for one surface instead of a whole mirror grid. RemoteMirrorTerminal gets an isActive-driven display:none for the stacked/tab case, same pattern TerminalComponent/BrowserPanel already use.
  • Add a remote pane: the pane's menu gets "New remote pane" (conditionally, only when a caller passes onAddRemote — existing standalone SurfaceTabs mounts/tests are unaffected). It opens AddRemotePaneModal, a host picker listing already-paired hosts; picking one calls remote.workspaceCreate(hostId, freshId) (the Direction: a text-mode client (wmux attach) — offloading the work to a VPS, and two people on one session #1001 operator-mint path) to bootstrap a session, then adds it as a surface in the current local workspace — the minted id is opaque bookkeeping for the daemon's bootstrap contract, never referenced again.
  • Title from the remote shell: xterm's own parser already extracts OSC 0/2 payloads from the mirrored byte stream (that's how a terminal emulator gets a window-title event at all) — RemoteMirrorTerminal wires term.onTitleChange, sanitizes it exactly like PTYBridge does for a local pane (sanitizeTitle, cross-imported from src/main/pty/titleDetect.ts — an established pattern in this codebase, see e.g. capabilityGrouping.ts/methodCapabilityMap), and a new updateRemoteSurfaceTitle store action applies it. It's the surfaceId-keyed twin of updateSurfaceTitleByPty, which can never match a remote-terminal surface (its ptyId is always '') — same manual-rename guard (titleLocked), so a user's own rename is never clobbered by a later rename in the remote shell.

Known limitations (left for a follow-up, not attempted here)

  • A pane holding both a local terminal and a browser surface (the existing hasBoth two-region split view) has no third region for a remote-terminal surface added to it — it simply won't render in that specific 3-way combination. Every other combination (remote-terminal alone, alongside other terminals as tabs, alongside diff/editor overlays) works.
  • Closing a remote-terminal surface removes it from the local pane tree but does not terminate the session on the remote daemon — a minor idle-session leak, not a correctness bug. RemoteHostClient.closeSession (added for feat(remote): a resizable split tree for remote workspaces, with grow/shrink (#1091) #1094) is the right call to wire in for this; skipped here to keep this PR's diff to the render/UI/title path it set out to do.

Test plan

  • New: surfaceSlice.test.tsupdateRemoteSurfaceTitle (sets title, no-op unknown surfaceId, never touches a terminal-type surface, respects titleLocked).
  • New: RemoteMirrorTerminal.test.tsxonTitleChange fires with the sanitized title, drops an all-control-character title, and works with no onTitleChange prop at all (the existing mirror-grid caller passes none).
  • Updated: paneClusterWidth.test.ts's menu/cluster parity test — new-remote is a deliberate menu-only addition, same as rename-pane (Pane header: the pane label duplicates the surface tab title on single-tab panes, and isn't clickable #1021), pinned explicitly rather than silently drifting.
  • Full npm run test:parallel: 12865/12868 (3 pre-existing failures — state.fallback.test.ts, deck.handler.loop.test.ts ×2 — confirmed present on a clean stash of this branch's base, unrelated to this diff).
  • tsc --noEmit and eslint on every touched file: 0 errors (pre-existing no-non-null-assertion warnings only, none new).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Open a session from a paired remote host as a tab in the current workspace.
    • Added a New remote pane option for selecting a remote host and starting a session.
    • Remote tabs display shell titles and update when renamed remotely.
    • Added localized labels for the new remote pane action.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Remote panes are no longer treated as local terminal sessions or targeted by local file drops.
    • Improved recovery when remote pane creation fails.

… workspace

Foundation for openwong2kim#1086/openwong2kim#1091: a session on a paired remote host should be a
PANE inside an ordinary local workspace (gaining rename/color for free from
WorkspaceItem), not a separate remote-workspace entity with its own
stripped-down sidebar row and mirror-only grid.

- Surface.surfaceType gains 'remote-terminal', with remoteHostId/
  remoteSessionId identifying the paired host + remote daemon session.
  ptyId stays '' — same convention as 'browser' — so every existing
  ptyId-gated check (a2aAddressing, deckBrain, ChannelMembers, the
  reconcile loop) already treats it as non-local without touching those
  sites.
- createRemoteSurface() factory, mirroring createSurface().
- addRemoteSurface() store action, mirroring addBrowserSurface(): caller
  splits an empty leaf via the existing splitPane(), then calls this to
  populate it in any local workspace's tree.
- Two explicit-enumeration guards in AppLayout.tsx (paste-target and the
  PTY-reconcile loop) that check `=== 'browser' || 'editor' || 'diff'`
  without going through ptyId now also exclude 'remote-terminal', so
  neither path tries a local-PTY operation against it.
- fleet.ts had its own duplicate literal union for surfaceType (not
  importing Surface's) — widened to match, caught by tsc.

Deliberately NOT in this PR: renderer wiring (Pane.tsx render branch, SSE
attach, an "add remote pane" UI entry point, OSC 0/2 title detection on the
mirror stream). That's stage 2, a follow-up PR — this one is store +
types only, verified to introduce zero behavior change for any surface
that isn't 'remote-terminal' (nothing constructs one yet).

Full test:parallel: 845 passed / 4 failed files, all 4 confirmed
pre-existing on a clean stash of origin/main (deck.handler.loop.test.ts,
atomicWrite/rotation.test.ts — timing-sensitive, unrelated to any changed
file). tsc --noEmit and eslint clean (eslint diffed against clean base:
same 4 pre-existing errors, +1 new non-null-assertion warning matching
the test file's existing style).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds remote-terminal surfaces as ordinary local pane tabs. It adds host selection, remote session creation, session attachment, shell-title updates, localization, tests, and exclusions from local file-drop and PTY reconciliation.

Changes

Remote terminal support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote surface contract
src/shared/types.ts, src/shared/__tests__/clonePaneTreeFresh.test.ts, src/renderer/stores/selectors/fleet.ts, src/renderer/stores/slices/surfaceSlice.ts, src/renderer/stores/slices/__tests__/surfaceSlice.test.ts
The surface model and store accept remote-terminal. Remote surfaces store host and session identifiers, use an empty ptyId, support workspace targeting, update titles by surfaceId, and clear remote identifiers when panes are cloned.
Remote surface creation UI
src/renderer/components/Pane/SurfaceTabs.tsx, src/renderer/components/Pane/Pane.tsx, src/renderer/components/Remote/AddRemotePaneModal.tsx, src/renderer/i18n/locales/*, src/renderer/components/Pane/__tests__/paneClusterWidth.test.ts, src/renderer/components/Remote/__tests__/AddRemotePaneModal.test.tsx
The pane menu opens host selection. The modal creates a remote session and adds it to the current workspace. Localized labels and creation error handling are covered by tests.
Remote surface rendering and attachment
src/renderer/components/Pane/Pane.tsx, src/renderer/components/Remote/RemotePaneSurface.tsx, src/renderer/components/Pane/__tests__/Pane.splitVisibility.test.tsx
The pane renders remote sessions as tabs, applies host input permissions, attaches and detaches sessions, and includes remote surfaces in split overlays.
Remote titles and local PTY boundaries
src/renderer/components/Remote/RemoteMirrorTerminal.tsx, src/renderer/components/Remote/__tests__/RemoteMirrorTerminal.test.tsx, src/renderer/components/Layout/AppLayout.tsx, changelog.d/1100.md
Remote OSC titles are sanitized and stored unless the title is locked. Remote surfaces are excluded from file-drop and local PTY reconciliation paths. The changelog describes the completed feature.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a3bc9

This change makes remote sessions ordinary tabs in local panes, but creation and local registration can become unsynchronized, leaving sessions without a visible owner; closing a tab also leaves the remote session running. That can accumulate orphaned sessions or duplicate sessions after retries, so explicit owner acceptance or lifecycle follow-up is needed before merge.

[wmux-hermes] Triage Summary

Stage 1 of the #1086/#1091 direction: adds the 'remote-terminal' Surface variant, createRemoteSurface, and the addRemoteSurface store action, plus two AppLayout.tsx enumeration guards. Nothing constructs a remote-terminal surface yet, so the PR is inert until stage 2 — low risk, well tested. P3: groundwork only, no user-facing change; fine to land as the foundation.

…penwong2kim#1091 stage 2/2)

Completes PR openwong2kim#1100's store/type foundation with the renderer wiring:

- Pane.tsx renders a remote-terminal surface as an ordinary tab, next to
  local terminal/browser/editor/diff tabs in the same leaf — via a new
  RemotePaneSurface component (the attach/detach lifecycle from
  RemoteWorkspaceView's PaneCell, adapted for a single surface instead of a
  whole mirror grid).
- "Add remote pane" in the pane's ⋮ menu opens a host picker
  (AddRemotePaneModal) that bootstraps a fresh session on the chosen paired
  host via the openwong2kim#1001 operator-mint path (remote.workspaceCreate) and adds it
  as a surface in the CURRENT local workspace — no separate "remote
  workspace" entity is created at all.
- RemoteMirrorTerminal wires xterm's own onTitleChange (it already parses
  OSC 0/2 from the mirrored byte stream) through the same sanitizeTitle
  PTYBridge uses for a local pane, so a remote shell's `rename`/window-title
  sequence updates the tab's displayed name — a new updateRemoteSurfaceTitle
  store action (surfaceId-keyed twin of updateSurfaceTitleByPty, which can
  never match a remote-terminal surface since its ptyId is always '')
  applies it, respecting a manual rename's titleLocked the same way.

Known limitation, left for a follow-up: a pane holding BOTH a local terminal
and a browser surface (the existing hasBoth split view) has no third region
for a remote-terminal surface added to it — it simply won't render in that
specific 3-way combination. Every other combination (remote-terminal alone,
or alongside other remote/local terminals as tabs, or alongside diff/editor
overlays) works.

Also left for a follow-up: closing a remote-terminal surface removes it from
the local pane tree but does not terminate the session on the remote
daemon — a minor idle-session leak, not a correctness bug.

Owner

Review verdict: this is the adopted direction — 3 required fixes, then merge

Per the direction call just posted on #1091, the remote-terminal Surface model is canonical. One correction to this PR's framing for the record: #1086 carried no explicit owner direction — the call is being made now, on #1091, on the merits (and this PR's architecture is a big part of why it went this way). Security review came back clean: sanitizeTitle fully neutralizes hostile OSC titles, and the ptyId: '' isolation holds everywhere we checked.

Required before merge

  1. hasBoth dead tab — and the one-line fix is not enough. With a local terminal + browser in the pane, a remote tab renders nowhere. Adding 'remote-terminal' to pickOverlaySurfaces alone would route it into the others.map ternary, which renders anything non-diff as an EditorPanel with an empty filePath. The fix is three-point: add it to pickOverlaySurfaces, add a real remote-terminal branch to others.map, and give RemotePaneSurface the same absolute-overlay positioning contract Diff/EditorPanel use (its root is currently flex h-full w-full, not absolute inset-0). Its isActive → display:none handling is already compatible.
  2. clonePaneTreeFresh aliasing (src/shared/types.ts): workspace duplication resets ptyId but spreads remoteHostId/remoteSessionId through — the clone double-attaches the same remote session and the two tabs fight over input. Strip the remote fields on clone (an empty placeholder tab is fine).
  3. AddRemotePaneModal.pick spinner lock-up, two paths: setCreatingHostId(hostId) runs before the if (!remote) return guard, and an IPC-level rejection from workspaceCreate has no catch — either leaves every host button disabled forever. Move the guard up and wrap in try/finally { setCreatingHostId(null) }.

Follow-up (tracked, not blocking this PR)

Session lifecycle: closing the tab must eventually destroy the remote session (explicit close only — reload re-attach depends on the session surviving unmount), and the minted one-shot remote-pane-* workspaces need cleanup or a daemon-side standalone-session concept. The cleanup primitive is closeSession from #1094 — an extraction is requested there; wiring it into handleCloseSurface is the natural follow-up PR once it lands.

1. hasBoth split's overlay path dropped remote-terminal onto EditorPanel
   with an empty filePath (pickOverlaySurfaces didn't route it, and the
   ternary below had no branch for it). Route it through pickOverlaySurfaces
   and render RemotePaneSurface with the same absolute-inset-0 overlay
   contract Diff/EditorPanel use.

2. clonePaneTreeFresh spread remoteHostId/remoteSessionId onto the clone,
   so duplicating a workspace double-attached the source's live remote
   session from two tabs. Strip both fields on clone, same as ptyId reset.

3. AddRemotePaneModal.pick latched its "creating…" spinner before the
   `!remote` guard (permanently disabled with no bridge) and had no
   catch around the awaited workspaceCreate call (a rejected IPC call —
   not an { ok: false } response — left it stuck AND propagated an
   unhandled rejection, since the caller does `void pick(...)`). Move
   the guard first, wrap in try/catch/finally.

Regression tests added for all three; full test:parallel shows the same
2 pre-existing timing-sensitive failures as a clean stash of this branch
(notificationSlice, deck.handler.loop) — confirmed unrelated.

Make the missing-bridge test exercise pick.

No button exists when electronAPI.remote is absent, so this conditional skips every assertion. Seed hostsList() first, remove remote before the click, and require the button to exist. The test will then verify the missing-bridge guard.

Merged after a production-readiness pass on top of the 3 required fixes (all verified in the diff: overlay routing complete at all three points, clone strips the live-session ids with a test, spinner guard + try/finally). Also verified operator-side: closeSurface teardown is fully gated on a truthy ptyId, so a remote tab's close never touches the local PTY paths, and detach-on-unmount is race-chained.

The Follow-up section's session-lifecycle debt now has its tracking home: #1129 (explicit-close destroy + remote-pane-* cleanup, wired to the closeSession extraction requested on #1094). One minor rider recorded there too: the new i18n keys landed in en/pl/zh only.

…nted (#1129) (#1143)

* fix(remote): closing a remote-terminal tab destroys the session it minted (#1129)

#1100 made a remote session an ordinary Surface, but left it with no
teardown: a remote-terminal surface carries `ptyId: ''` (the browser/editor
convention), so every `pty.dispose` path in the renderer walks straight past
it. Closing the tab detached the SSE stream and nothing else — the shell kept
running on the host, and with it the one-shot `remote-pane-*` workspace row
the remote daemon derives from that session's `WMUX_WORKSPACE_ID`. Nothing
would ever reap either, so every "add remote pane" left permanent residue on
the paired machine.

Root cause: `Pane.handleCloseSurface` disposes `surface.ptyId` and nothing
else; `AddRemotePaneModal` mints a fresh session (and workspace id) per pane.

- `RemoteHostClient.closeSession` — `DELETE /api/sessions/:id`, the #1094
  extraction #1091's direction call asked for. 404 resolves (already gone is
  the requested outcome); everything else throws with the daemon's own
  wording, notably the 403 a host without `--allow-input` answers with.
- `REMOTE_SESSION_CLOSE` IPC + handler: detaches every live stream on that
  (host, session) first — for any sender — so the client's reconnect loop is
  not left chasing a session about to disappear.
- `Surface.remoteOwned` records whether THIS desktop minted the session.
  Only an owned session is destroyed on close: the planned "open this mirror
  session as a tab" bridge points at somebody's running work, and closing a
  view of it must never end it. Absent/false means not owned, so any future
  construction site is non-destructive by default; `clonePaneTreeFresh` drops
  the flag with the pointer it belongs to.
- Wired into the explicit close paths only — tab X, Ctrl+W, prefix
  kill-pane/kill-workspace, sidebar and settings workspace teardown, and the
  `surface.close`/`pane.close` RPCs. Never into a React cleanup: the #1129
  constraint is that unmount, reload, and tab/workspace switches must keep
  the session alive, which is what makes the surface re-attachable at all.
- Shared walks `collectPaneTreeRemoteSessions` / `getWorkspaceRemoteSessions`
  sit next to the ptyId walks, so a stashed pane cannot be visible to one
  teardown path and invisible to the other.

Best-effort throughout, like `pty.dispose`: the tab is gone from the layout
before the DELETE lands, so a failure has nothing to report to.

Tests: closeSession (verb/URL/encoding/404/403/non-JSON), the IPC handler
(destroy, selective detach, refusal mapping, unknown host), both walks
(owned-only, stash), the teardown policy, `addRemoteSurface` ownership, the
clone drop, and a source scan pinning every close path to a teardown call —
the bug was a missing call site, not a broken helper. tsc clean; eslint clean
(2 pre-existing warnings in RemoteHostClient.write).

* fix(remote): review fixes — close the workspace.close leak, destroy before detach (#1129)

Review-team findings on the #1129 branch, plus two decisions recorded in the
code so they read as chosen rather than overlooked.

P1 — `workspace.close` (useRpcBridge) disposed PTYs and removed the workspace
without touching its remote sessions: the exact leak this branch fixes,
surviving on its one RPC path, and the worst instance of it — once
removeWorkspace drops the workspace, the `remoteOwned` records go with it and
the session is permanently unreapable. Now calls
destroyWorkspaceRemoteSessions under the same guards as the dispose loop, and
the call site is pinned by the source-scan test.

P2 — REMOTE_SESSION_CLOSE detached every stream BEFORE the DELETE, which is
failure-destructive: a close that then fails (host offline, 403 after
--allow-input was revoked) left the session alive with every mirror of it cut
and no live attach to retry from. The remote daemon does not refuse a delete
while SSE streams are open, so the order is now destroy-then-detach, with a
test that a failed destroy leaves every attach intact.

P3 — RemoteHostClient's file header still claimed the class "never calls a
destroy/delete endpoint". It does now; the header names closeSession as the
one destructive verb and states that detach/detachAll remain local-only.

P3 — destroyRemoteSessions swallowed both a rejection and a resolved
{ ok: false } with no trace, while the surface carrying the ownership record
was already gone: one transient failure orphaned a session nobody could later
explain. Both failure shapes now console.warn with host, session, and reason.
Best-effort stays; silent does not.

Decisions, now stated in the code:
- No confirmation prompt on close — local-pane semantics, with `remoteOwned`
  as the safety boundary.
- Sessions leaked before this fix are not auto-reaped: ownership cannot be
  proven retroactively. Only sessions minted from here on are tracked.

tsc clean, eslint clean on the touched files; 1246 tests pass across the
remote, teardown, hooks, pane-utils and surface-slice suites.

…1100 tab (#1141)

* feat(remote): split a remote session into its own pane, alongside the #1100 tab

#1100 shipped remote-terminal as an ordinary Surface — a tab on an existing
pane's tab strip. Real usage on a paired VPS right after it shipped surfaced
a gap: local terminals can ALSO be split into their own pane (a new layout
region, independently resizable), and a remote session had no equivalent —
only the tab. Add "Split right — remote" / "Split down — remote" to the same
⋮ menu, alongside "New remote pane" (unchanged): pick a host, mint a session
(same AddRemotePaneModal), then attach it to a freshly split pane instead of
a new tab on the clicking pane.

resolveRemoteAttachPaneId (new, pure, exported alongside the existing
pickSplitShownSurfaces/pickOverlaySurfaces) is the whole decision: null
direction targets the clicking pane (#1100's tab flow, untouched); a
direction targets whatever splitPane() already returned. splitPane creates
an EMPTY leaf pane — EmptyLeafFunnel would otherwise race to spawn a local
PTY into it, so addRemoteSurface runs in the same synchronous tick as
splitPane, before React can commit and let the funnel's effect see an empty
leaf. A blocked split (per-workspace pane cap) resolves to null — attach
nowhere — rather than silently falling back onto the pane the user asked to
split away from.

Issue #1140's second ask (count an agent-driving remote pane in the
roster/"Agenci") is NOT addressed here: workspaceAgentRoster.ts keys agent
detection on ptyId, fed by local PTY hook events; remote surfaces carry
ptyId: '' by design (same as browser/editor), so there is no existing signal
path a real agent on the far end could report through. Building a heuristic
on buffer content would be fragile and guessed; flagging it back on #1140
for the direction call instead of inventing a detection channel here.

…hat opened it (#1148)

* fix(remote): AddRemotePaneModal closes on Escape and names the flow that opened it

Two gaps the #1141 dogfood run surfaced, both dating back to #1100 but
worth fixing now that the split flows tripled how often this dialog shows:

- Escape now closes the modal (same document-level listener
  AttachRemoteModal binds) — the backdrop click was the only way out.
- The heading is a `title` prop the caller sets per flow: "Split right —
  remote" / "Split down — remote" reuse the menu labels, the tab flow
  keeps the "New remote pane" default. Before, every flow said "New
  remote pane", so the dialog could not say which action it was answering.
