Let the desktop client replace itself, and give the repository one version
Packaging for Windows, and the updater that only exists once something is
packaged. Velopack, win-x64, fed from the project's own forge — never from the
deployment a client signs in to, which is ADR 0011 rule 2 carried over
unchanged and is why the feed address is a constant in the code rather than a
setting. See docs/adr/0012-desktop-distribution-and-updates.md.
**Nothing is ever installed while somebody is using it.** A newer build is found
on a six-hourly pass, downloaded in the background, and then waits — for a
restart the user presses, or for the next launch they were going to do anyway.
That is a policy rather than caution: this application argues at length that
locking keeps shells running, because a lock that destroyed work would stop
being used, and a restart does not keep them. Having taught that, it owes the
user the choice at the one moment it stops being true, and the sentence saying
so counts the shells it would close.
**The version is now derived from the v* tag**, by MinVer, for everything. There
was no version before this — no property anywhere, so every assembly reported
the SDK's 1.0.0 and the API served that string as its serverVersion to every
client that asked. The tag was already the version of record for the container
image; this makes it the version of record full stop. MinVer's failure mode is
answering plausibly rather than failing, and here a wrong version is a client
that never updates, so it is guarded twice: fetch-depth 0 on every checkout, and
a step that fails a tag build when the tag and the computed version disagree.
**The pack id is DodoSSH.Desktop and not DodoSSH**, which is the one decision
here that would have destroyed data. Velopack installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\<packId>
and removes that whole directory on uninstall, and %LOCALAPPDATA%\DodoSSH is
where ClientPaths keeps the encrypted cache, the outbox of changes not yet
pushed, and the device key. The obvious id would have had the uninstaller
silently delete work the server has never seen — the thing the application
refuses to do without a counted confirmation. Velopack's own advice to move user
data to roaming %APPDATA% is declined for the reason ClientPaths already gives.
**Releases are cut by a person, and CI gains no job that could.** The tempting
argument is that a forge write token is not a signing key. It does not survive
contact with what the token does: Velopack clients trust their feed and do not
verify a package signature when they apply one, so whoever can write a release
can ship an update every install runs. That is the capability ADR 0011 rule 1
puts on a machine which is not a runner, reached through a different door. The
mechanical objection — vpk needs Windows and the runners are Linux — is the
smaller of the two and is recorded beside it, because somebody will fix one and
believe they are done.
Unsigned for now, deliberately and with the cost stated where a user reads it:
SmartScreen warns once per person, on Setup.exe, because Mark-of-the-Web is
applied by the browser that downloaded it. In-app updates are fetched by the
application and applied from a local file, and never trip it.
The banner is a fourth row of the window rather than an overlay. Anything drawn
in the terminal's rectangle is sliced by the native child window that composites
above it — the defect this window has shipped once — and a sibling row is the
arrangement TitleBar and StatusBar already prove works.
----
Three defects surfaced on the way, none of them in the feature being built.
**A settings key absent from the file came back as the CLR default, not the
declared one.** The JSON source generator builds a record through a synthesised
parameterised constructor and assigns every property from its argument array, so
a property initializer runs and is then overwritten by a default for anything the
file did not contain. A settings.json of {} read back a font size of 0, clamped
up to the 8px floor rather than the 13px the renderer draws at. It could not bite
while there was one setting, because that setting was written on every save and
so was never absent; adding a second would have turned automatic update checks
off for every existing profile, silently, the opposite of the documented default.
Reflection-based deserialisation of the same JSON answers correctly, which is why
every way of checking it by hand agrees except the one that ships. The defaults
now live on the constructor parameters, which is the only place the generator
reads them from.
**Declaring a RuntimeIdentifier on the desktop head broke the server's image
build.** It is the obvious way to let a self-contained publish restore under
locked mode, and it writes a net10.0/win-x64 target into the lock file of every
project the head references transitively — including DodoSSH.Contracts and
DodoSSH.Crypto, which the API builds too. The Dockerfile restores those with no
RID and fails NU1004. Found by running docker build rather than by reading. The
RID stays out of the committed state; the two commands that need one ask for it
unlocked, and the release script puts the lock files back.
**A Docker ARG named VERSION silently sets MSBuild's Version.** An ARG is an
environment variable for the rest of the stage, MSBuild reads environment
variables as properties, and property names are case-insensitive. With the
workflow passing main-<short sha> on a main build the publish died with
NETSDK1018 pointing at DodoSSH.Contracts, a project nobody had touched. The build
stage's argument is ASSEMBLY_VERSION now, empty except on a tag build.
All three are in docs/platform-flags.md, which is where the next person will look.
----
Verified: the whole solution builds and restores locked; 289 shell, 93 layout and
54 session tests pass, including the regression test for the settings defect and
a measurement of the banner at the window's minimum width. vpk pack runs end to
end and reports "Verified VelopackApp.Run()" against Program.Main. The API image
builds correctly both as a main build and as a tag build, carrying 1.0.0 and
0.1.0 respectively.
Not verified, and it needs a published release to be: installing, updating and
uninstalling on a real machine. That is Phase 15 of docs/manual-checks.md, and
the pack id and the WebView2 profile fix are reasoned and commented but only
proved by walking it. Two things to watch at the first upload — the reverse
proxy's body-size limit for a 64 MB asset, and whether vpk upload gitea is happy
with Gitea 1.27.1.

Add the Avalonia app and the xterm renderer, and fix two real bugs
The terminal works end to end. A new integration test drives a real sshd in a container through a real PTY, the real pump, the real loopback WebSocket with its token and origin checks, and a ClientWebSocket standing in for the page: the login banner arrives, typed input round-trips, and `stty size` reports the 100x30 the session asked for. The only untested link left is xterm drawing bytes it was handed. The WebView is de-risked on Windows, which was the plan's largest risk. Not by assertion: with the app running there is an established TCP connection from msedgewebview2 to the data plane port, so WebView2 launched, navigated to the loopback page, executed terminal.js, and completed the WebSocket handshake against the real token and origin checks. Linux remains unproven and the package's own release notes now corroborate the concern -- Linux uses a WPE backend, and it ships a NativeWebDialog described as useful where embedded WebViews may be unavailable. Two bugs found by building it, both of which would have shipped: - ShellStream.Write buffers and needs an explicit Flush. Without one a keystroke is accepted, reported as written, and never reaches the remote: the terminal displays output perfectly and simply stops responding to input. SSH.NET's own WriteLine flushes, which is why the earlier spike never hit it. Found by isolating the pump against real SSH and reading BytesRead=51 -- banner and prompt through, nothing after. - The Windows app manifest needs a supportedOS list, or Avalonia's native control host fails outright and the terminal never starts. Also fixed a genuinely flaky test I happened to catch: SyncCursorTests tampered with the *last* base64url character, whose low bits the decoder ignores when the input length is not a multiple of three -- so a tampered cursor sometimes decoded to identical bytes and verified. It failed roughly one run in thirty, depending on a random key. Now tampers the penultimate character, which is fully significant at every length; 40 consecutive runs are clean. xterm 6.0.0 plus the fit and webgl addons are vendored as UMD bundles rather than built with npm, so a clean clone needs only the .NET SDK. Provenance and licences are recorded next to them, along with the UMD global names terminal.js depends on -- a bundle that switched to ES modules would load without error and leave Terminal undefined. The renderer acknowledges output from term.write's completion callback, not on receipt. Acknowledging early would return flow-control credit for bytes the screen has not caught up with, which is the one thing the credit window exists to measure. TerminalWorkspace moved into DodoSSH.Client.Terminal: it has no Avalonia dependency, and having it there is what let the end-to-end test exist at all. 404 tests pass, zero warnings on a clean rebuild, format clean. |

Add sync engine: cursors, push/pull, and the advisory-lock ordering proof (M1)
The vault write path. Push is the only way items change — no per-entity POST/PUT/DELETE — so one place enforces revisions, the change log and access control. The concurrency hazard, now proven rather than asserted: bigserial assigns sequence values when the INSERT runs, not at commit, so transaction A can take sequence 5 while B takes 6 and commits first. A reader polling in between sees only 6, advances past 5, and never learns about it. AdvisoryLockOrderingTests reproduces that gap WITHOUT the lock first — otherwise the with-lock test proves nothing, since it would pass just as happily if the interleaving never occurred — then shows pg_advisory_xact_lock removes it, and that 12 concurrent writers produce no gaps. Cursors are opaque and HMAC-tagged, and carry their vault id. 29 unit tests cover the rejections, which are the point: an accepted-but-wrong cursor is silent data loss, strictly worse than an error a client can resync from. Rejected: tampered tag, tampered payload, foreign signing key, a legitimately-issued cursor from another vault, truncation, and hostile input (never throws — cursors come from clients). Push semantics: - 200 even on partial failure, with per-operation status, so one stale item cannot block everything a client queued while offline. - Conflict returns the server's current row for client-side three-way merge. The server cannot merge ciphertext, so never last-writer-wins. - opId receipts make retries exactly-once per operation, not per batch — a client retrying a partially-overlapping batch after a timeout would otherwise double-apply what landed. - A tombstone beats a late upsert, and delete clears hostname/port: leaving the address would keep the server able to resolve a host the user believes they deleted. - Relay field validation mirrors the DB CHECK so a bad request is a clear Invalid rather than a constraint violation surfacing as a 500. Authorization goes through IVaultAccessService, which returns the same answer for "absent" and "forbidden" — distinguishing them is an existence oracle for other tenants' vault ids. Team vaults are explicitly denied until M3 rather than falling through to a permissive default. JIT provisioning keys on (issuer, subject), never email, and handles the concurrent-first-request race via the unique index. Renamed two domain types: Host -> SshHost, because Host collides with Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Host in every file of a web project, and SyncChange -> VaultChange to stop it colliding with the Contracts DTO of the same name. Aliasing at every use site would have been permanent friction. Worth noting: `ef migrations has-pending-model-changes` reported clean after those renames even though the snapshot still said "DodoSSH.Domain.Host" — it diffs tables, not CLR type names. The snapshot was regenerated and the emitted DDL diffed against the previous artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql to confirm the rename produced no schema change. Also removed ConfigureAwait(false) from test methods: xUnit1030 flags it as bypassing parallelization limits, which is why MA0004 is suppressed in test projects. Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 146 tests pass (up from 122), format clean. Endpoint-level tests are the immediate next step: they need a WireMock OIDC/JWKS stub and real JWT minting, so the "wrong user is denied" matrix does not exist yet for these two routes. The service-layer authorization and the concurrency property are covered. |

Restructure into src/tests and add build foundation (M0)
Moves the scaffold to src/DodoSSH.Api and establishes the repo conventions the rest
of the milestones build on.
Structure:
- src/{Contracts,Crypto,Domain,Infrastructure,Api}, tests/{Contracts,Crypto,Domain}.Tests
- DodoSSH.slnx rewritten with src/ and tests/ solution folders
Build:
- Directory.Build.props centralises TFM, nullable, deterministic builds and
TreatWarningsAsErrors; Directory.Packages.props pins every version centrally
- packages.lock.json committed so CI restores in locked mode
- NuGet.config clears machine-level sources, which both fixes NU1507 under central
package management and makes restore reproducible off this machine
- Microsoft.OpenApi pinned to 2.11.0: ASP.NET Core 10.0.10 resolves 2.0.0, which is
covered by GHSA-v5pm-xwqc-g5wc (high, patched in 2.7.5)
Analyzers:
- AnalysisLevel is Recommended, not All. With warnings-as-errors, All turns opinionated
naming rules into build breaks and trains people to blanket-suppress.
- BannedSymbols.txt bans DateTime.UtcNow (TimeProvider), Guid.NewGuid (CreateVersion7),
sync-over-async, MD5/SHA1, PBKDF2 and SecureString
- CA1711/CA1724 disabled: both are .NET Framework CAS-era naming rules
- PublicApiAnalyzers on Contracts only, since that assembly is the client's real contract
API:
- weather-forecast template removed
- UseHttpsRedirection removed; TLS terminates at the reverse proxy and redirecting
behind one causes loops
- /healthz/{live,ready,startup}. Liveness deliberately checks no dependencies so a
transient database outage cannot restart the container and kill live SSH sessions.
Notes:
- No coverage collector yet. Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage pulls an MTP 1.x
MSBuild extension that throws TypeLoadException against the MTP 2.3.x xunit.v3 brings.
Coverage gates are an M3 concern; revisit with an MTP 2.x-aligned version then.
Verified: dotnet build (0 warnings), 17 tests pass, format check clean, API serves
health and OpenAPI endpoints.
