jaap-jan	562fb444a8	Merge main into the phone connections branch ... Main had already taken this branch's first two commits, so what merged is the Connections work against three things that landed beside it. Four of the six conflicts were prose about arrangements both sides changed; two were real. **The phone hub gained a Teams row while this branch was moving the keychain onto it.** Both are additions to `IsMoreSurface` and both belong: teams because the desktop reaches them from its rail and the phone through the hub, the keychain because a bottom bar is for the places a session moves between. The membership test, the back gesture's first case and the hub's own arithmetic all take the union. The distinction is now written down rather than implied — teams is the design's count plus one, and the keychain is the only rearrangement of it: the bar lost a slot to gain that row. **`ConnectAndAnnounceAsync` was the real one.** Main gave it `RememberTypedPasswordAsync`, which binds the password that just worked to the host it worked on; this branch had replaced the `HostRowViewModel` that method needs with a four-field `ConnectionTarget`. Keeping both meant deciding what a manual connection does with a password that succeeded, and the answer was already written on the screen it is typed into: nothing. There is no item to bind a credential to and none to bind it on, and that path saves nothing by design. So `ConnectionTarget` carries the row again — as a nullable, in place of the host id it had, with `HostId` derived from it. Two things read it and both are things that can only be done to a keychain item rather than to an address: naming the log entry, and keeping the password. Null is not missing data there; it is the whole of what makes the manual path different, and having one field rather than two keeps "was this a keychain host" a question with one answer. The desktop's rail lost SFTP and S3 to the tab strip on main, so the README's "a rail with nine slots has room" was true when it was written this afternoon and is not now. It says the room rather than the number. Phase 11's four new device checks and main's Phase 12 on teams were the same conflict twice — two appends to the end of one file — and both are kept. Verified after resolving: the solution builds, the Android head builds clean, and 837 tests pass across the seven client suites, including main's own additions (233 shell, 79 layout, 240 domain, 118 sync, 54 session, 74 terminal, 39 storage).	2026-08-03 15:35:49 +02:00
jaap-jan	f5ffd1983d	Make Connections the place a connection is made, and put the keychain away ... Four changes to the phone, and the last one needed the connect path taking apart. **The bottom bar is three entries.** The keychain moved onto the hub, which is now SETTINGS with a gear rather than MORE with a hamburger. A bottom bar is for the places a session moves between, and keys, credentials and tags are managed occasionally and then left alone — which is the shape of everything already behind that hub. With the keychain on it, "more" stopped being a description of what is there. `ShellScreen.Vault` joining `IsMoreSurface` is the whole of the change: the tab that lights, the header that stands down and the back gesture's first case all read that one property, which is why the switch mirrors it by construction rather than by a second list. The keychain screen grew the header every hub screen has, because the shell's own is not above it any more and without one there would be no back arrow and nothing saying what the list is. The desktop keeps its Keychain rail entry. A rail with nine slots has room, so this is the second thing the two heads arrange deliberately differently, after the hub itself. **Terminal became Connections**, and the word does more work than a rename usually does — see below. The enum member stays `ShellSurface.Terminal`, for the reason the tab was never called Vault: the surface is a terminal, and the word a user reads is the product's. **The + puts the software keyboard away.** It sits above a terminal somebody is typing into, so the sheet it raises was arriving underneath a keyboard covering the half of the screen the sheet is on — and worse, laid out into the strip left above it, since the keyboard's inset shortens everything this head draws. Avalonia cannot do this and it is worth knowing why: `TopLevel.InputPane` reports the keyboard and offers nothing that closes one, because the framework's model is that it belongs to whatever has focus — and this keyboard was raised by the `WebView`'s own text input, by a native view Avalonia's focus manager never owned. Clearing Avalonia's focus leaves it exactly where it is. So `Platform/SoftKeyboard.cs` asks `InputMethodManager`, off the decor view's window token, and every step of it is allowed to be absent. **With nothing open, Connections is a connect screen rather than an empty state.** A box taking `user@host` or `user@host:port`, a password, and the machines most recently connected to underneath. The box is the only path in this product to a machine the keychain has never heard of, which is a real case it had no answer for: an address somebody was handed five minutes ago. A typed password and nothing else — offering the keychain's keys would be a second binding resolution beside `TryBuildAuthentication`, and the argument against a second one is written there at length. Nothing typed is saved, and the screen says so: a machine worth keeping belongs on HOSTS, where it can carry a key, a group's defaults and a name. The recents come out of the vault's own connection log rather than a list kept in this process, so they survive a restart and arrive on a new phone with the keychain. Deduplicated by address, because this is a list of places and not of events, and capped at six so the box stays above the keyboard. Emptied when the vault is — they are decrypted entries naming where somebody works, and a lock that left them on screen would be a list still readable after every key that decrypted it was zeroed. Tapping one leads to whichever of two things it is: a keychain host goes to that host's connect bar, where its key, its password box and its refusals already live, and an address goes back into the box, without the password, whose absence is the point of that path rather than a gap in it. **The connect path was shaped like `HostRowViewModel` all the way down.** The log entry, the identification, the failure record and the retry all took a row. They take a four-field `ConnectionTarget` now, so a connection to an address shares the ladder of refusals, the host-key question and the tab's lifecycle rather than growing a second copy of them. `ConnectionRecorder.Record` and `Identify` have always taken a nullable host id, so the log could already hold a connection with no item behind it. One behavioural change falls out of that and it is the one to know about: **trusting a host key now retries the attempt that raised the question** instead of re-running whichever host is selected. That was correct while a selected host was the only way to connect; with a manual target it would dial a different machine, or refuse with "choose a host first" over a key the user has just agreed to trust. The test selects a host first, so a regression cannot pass by connecting to the wrong thing successfully. `LogsViewModel.ReloadAsync` split so the connections half can be read alone. Reading the keychain's activity for a screen that offers neither would double the decryption on the list that was already the expensive one. Twelve tests: the parse grammar as a theory over seven refusals, the dialled request, the retry, and both branches of tapping a recent row. The recents rows are built by hand rather than connected-and-closed — what those tests are about is which branch a row takes, and driving it through the recorder's queue would test the recorder, which `DodoSSH.Client.Session.Tests` already does. What needs a device is phases 11.6 to 11.9 of `docs/manual-checks.md`.	2026-08-03 15:26:47 +02:00
jaap-jan	1b7df47537	Merge main into the desktop redesign branch ... Four conflicts. Three were two people adding to the same spot, and one was a real collision: main gave the connect bar a REMEMBER tick in the same pass that this branch took the connect bar off the hosts screen. REMEMBER is now in the drawer, beside the password box it qualifies. Nothing about the feature changed — RemembersConnectPassword, its refusal to fire until the remote has accepted the password, and the six tests over it are main's untouched — only where it is drawn. The move improves it slightly and it is worth saying why rather than claiming a merge was neutral: the bar had one row and had to fit the box, the tick, the authentication note and CONNECT along it, which is why the tick was a bare "REMEMBER" in tracked capitals. A column has room to put it under the box as a sentence, where it reads as a property of the password rather than as a fourth control in a row. MainWindowViewModel: both sides added members after ShowTerminal — the desktop's three fixed tabs here, the phone's connect menu on main. They do not interact, so both are kept, each under its own heading. TeamsScreen: main added the team's own RENAME, HAND OVER and ARCHIVE, a member's LastActive, the role a new member arrives as, and the KEY HOLDERS list. This branch had only bumped the file's font sizes a point. Resolved by taking main's file whole and re-running the bump over it, so the new controls join the scale rather than sitting a point below everything around them. README: both sides described a different head's third pass in the same paragraph. Both kept. Two things checked rather than assumed, because this branch moved the furniture the merged commits sit on. The chrome heights main's terminal work touched are the phone's, not the desktop's — 44, 42 and 24 are unchanged, so the layout harness's budget still describes the window. And main's keychain DELETE did not reach VaultScreen.axaml, whose header this branch rearranged, so the five buttons that overflowed at the larger type are still five. 2415 tests pass, up from 2369 by the 46 main brought.	2026-08-03 15:17:55 +02:00
jaap-jan	208443b932	Move SFTP and S3 into the tab strip, and the host list into a card grid ... Four asks in one pass over the desktop head, and two of them are furniture moving rather than anything new. THE STRIP IS THE WINDOW'S NOW, not the terminal's. Vaults, SFTP and S3 sit at its head and cannot be closed, and open terminals follow them. SFTP and S3 left the nav rail to get there, which is the one semantic change: they are the two destinations you stay in while something runs, and a rail entry is for somewhere you go and come back from. So the rail belongs to the Vaults tab and collapses with it, which also means SFTP, S3 and a terminal each get the full 1016 rather than the 826 a page gets. The tab is expressed as "a page, and not one of the two the strip took" rather than as a fourth ShellSurface. Both are still ShellScreen members and have to be — that is what they are on the phone, where they are two rows in a hub — so a surface each would have been a second way to say a thing Screen already says. IsTransfersShowing and IsBucketsShowing light the other two tabs unchanged. What is new is one field: the page Vaults comes back to, because it is the one tab with sub-navigation and therefore the one that can return to the wrong place. That is not the hidden field ShellSurface argues against — that one would be a second copy of "which page"; this is a tab remembering its own. THE HOSTS SCREEN IS A GRID, and the 268-pixel sidebar is gone. That column was choosing among forty machines and editing one of them at two-thirds width, and it was narrow so the editor beneath it could be a column at all. Cards took the first job at full width; a 304-pixel drawer took the second and collapses when nothing is selected. Pressing a group card narrows the grid; SHOW ALL is the way back. The group editor moved into the drawer as well, which finally makes IsEditingGroup mean the same thing on both heads — it was the phone's alone, because the desktop's editor was a bar that was always on screen. AreHostsExpanded and ToggleHosts went with the control that used them. They folded the whole list away under one heading, an affordance that existed because the column was narrow. Folding a single group is a different thing and is still here. THE TYPE SCALE IS A POINT LARGER and the text ramp is white. The base size was never stated anywhere — a bare TextBlock took TextElement's default of 12 — so raising the scale meant naming it, on Window and on UserControl. The second selector is not redundancy: the layout harness hosts a UserControl in a window it builds itself, and without it the suite would measure every screen a point smaller than it ships, silently. A selector on TextBlock would have been the obvious way and is wrong, because a style setter beats an inherited value and would collapse every deliberate step back to one number. #E3E7F4 is a blue-tinted white on blue-black surfaces, which costs contrast twice — once for being darker than white and once for sharing a hue with what it is drawn on. Pure white is 18.3:1 against the canvas where that was 15.5:1. Every step below moved with the top, so the intervals the design chose are kept and TextDim clears 9:1 against 6.4:1. The palette is shared, so the phone has both changes too. TWO DEFECTS THE HARNESS STRUCTURALLY CANNOT SEE, found by rendering the screen rather than by measuring it, and both now covered. The tile was 232 and was first written as 248, from arithmetic that left out the scrolling stack's own margins. Every layout test passed — the harness asks whether a control is inside the window, never how many fit on a line — so the grid quietly became one column wide at exactly the minimum this application guarantees, which is the shape cards exist to avoid. TheHostsGridKeepsTwoColumnsAtTheMinimumWithTheDrawerOpen counts columns instead, and fails at 248. And a card's text ran past its own border, because a horizontal StackPanel measures children with infinite width: a TextBlock inside one never learns it is short of room, so TextTrimming never fires. Both card rows are grids with a star column that gives way and an Auto column that does not — a hostname with its tail cut is still the machine you were looking for, where a badge or the word naming an auth method is not. The keychain header changed shape for the same class of reason. It was Auto,Auto,*,Auto with the buttons last, so the slack column was the only thing absorbing a change of width and five buttons fell off the right edge the moment the type grew. That is how GENERATE lost the word KEY once already. The summary sits in the star column and trims now, so the buttons always get their width. HostSidebarTests became HostGridTests and moved to the grid with the gestures it drives. docs/design-import-gaps.md gains a v3 section naming the five toolbar controls in the design with nothing behind them — a view-mode switch, a tag filter, a calendar, a share control and Serial — and manual-checks.md and the README follow the controls that moved.	2026-08-03 15:08:48 +02:00

jaap-jan	7343c717da	Bring the last three outlined marks over to the filled tile ... ServerScreen, LockedScreen and PendingScreen were the only places left drawing v1: a 44px square outlined in the accent with >_ in the accent inside it. Every other place the mark appears — both headers, the desktop titlebar, the launcher icon and the .ico — draws it filled. The radius is derived rather than chosen. The mark is 6 at 20 and 8 at 26, a third of a unit per unit of tile, which puts 44 at exactly 14 — and 14 is already on Phone.axaml's radius ladder as the one for a block of monospaced output, which is a fair description of a box with >_ in it. PendingScreen takes the shape and not the colour. It is the screen that says a surface is not built yet, and the accent is the shell's one "do this" colour; a tile in Raised with the glyph left at TextFaint keeps the mark recognisable while the screen goes on looking as inert as it is.	2026-08-03 14:56:40 +02:00

jaap-jan	5800a4bbd0	Give the keychain the DELETE its confirmation was already written for ... The counted confirmation has been on this screen since the phone got its screens, and nothing could raise it. PendingDeletion is armed by DeleteSelectedItemCommand and its siblings, and the only Delete bindings anywhere on this head were the files screen's remote delete and the snippets one — so the card, and the header comment calling it structural, described a question the phone could not ask. The button is what was missing rather than anything behind it: the command, the counting and the wording were all already shared with the desktop. It sits in row 2 beside that confirmation rather than in a bar at the foot of the screen, which is where HOSTS and FILES put what to do with the chosen thing. ShowsItemActions is SelectedItemIsEditable and not-already-asking, so sharing the row makes the question take the place of the button that asked it, and DELETE cannot be pressed a second time underneath its own confirmation. A button at the bottom and its question at the top would be one exchange drawn twice. DELETE alone, without the EDIT the desktop's detail pane offers beside it, because there is nothing on this head for EDIT to open. That is also why the bar names the item rather than trusting the highlight: it is the only thing on screen saying which row is about to go. And the highlight had to be made to exist. HOSTS and FILES fill the selected ContentPresenter, which works because their rows are bare Borders; a keychain row is Border.card, and the card paints an opaque Sidebar over it. The selector reaches the card itself instead, in the same Active the chosen host wears, so the row a button now acts on looks different from the ones it does not. The TAGS comment said renaming and deleting happened here. Half of that is true as of this commit and the other half is not — a tag is still renamed on the desktop, because no kind of item opens an editor on this screen. The README's paragraph about what the phone is missing said there was no host editor, which stopped being true when the floating + and both editors landed. It now names what is actually absent: no local pane for file transfer, no keychain editor, and no screen at all for pins, teams or import.	2026-08-03 14:54:19 +02:00
jaap-jan	a2f0d4813a	Take a third off both of the terminal's bars, and centre the cross in a tab ... The bar the last commit put above a shell opened at 52 and the accessory row under it at 50, both inherited from the arrangement they replaced rather than measured against the one they are in. Neither is carrying a title or a sentence any more — the top one holds two icons and a row of pills, the bottom one a line of keys — so a third comes off each: 35 and 33. Every height inside them came down too. The pills go 44 to 30, the icon squares 34 rather than 44, the keys 38 to 30. A bar that shrank around contents that did not would not have saved anything; it would have moved the clipping somewhere harder to see. Two of those numbers had arguments written against them and both arguments change rather than disappear. The pill was 44 because it contains the one control on this head that is destructive with neither confirmation nor undo, and that is now carried by width — the cross keeps its full 44-pixel column, and what it gave up is vertical slack in a row where nothing sits above or below it to be hit by mistake. The keys were 38 for the same kind of reason, and the 44 that mattered there was always the width: ten keys flexed across 360dp is 32 pixels each, which is what the horizontal minimum exists to refuse. Both comments say what replaced the reasoning rather than quietly showing a smaller number. The close cross was not vertically centred, and it was not a rounding error. `Button.row` sets `HorizontalContentAlignment` and says nothing about the other axis, so the glyph sat against the top of its own column while the label beside it was centred by the stack panel it lives in. On the control that ends a session that reads as a misprint. Both alignments are now stated, on the button and on the text. The `+` loses the accent and becomes the same `Button.icon` as the arrow across from it. The two are a matched pair at either end of one bar — one leaves this surface, one adds to it — and an accented one ranked itself above the way out. The accent fill belongs to the floating `+` on HOSTS, which is the only action on its screen; this one is not. Five pixels between the renderer and the keys, as a margin rather than a border. The renderer is a native child view and nothing Avalonia draws can sit on top of it, so a hairline there would have to be a row of its own — and a terminal whose last line of output is flush against a row of grey keys reads as one surface that has gone wrong rather than as two that are different things. The four places that named the old bar height are corrected, including manual check 11.5, which asserted a number that would now fail.	2026-08-03 14:54:16 +02:00
jaap-jan	d6cd8825fc	Let the launcher icon catch up with the mark v2 already drew everywhere else ... TitleBar and PhoneShell have drawn >_ knocked out of a solid accent tile since v2, and both say in a comment that the launcher icon draws the same thing so the three cannot drift. The launcher was still v1: an outlined square in the accent. The comments are true now. On Android the tile is the background layer rather than a rounded rectangle in the foreground, because the rounding a launcher applies is its mask. Drawing the tile would put a second rounded shape inside the mask, clipped at the corners on any device whose mask is not the one it was drawn for; leaving it to the mask gets a squircle on one device and a circle on another for free. Windows has no mask, so dodossh.ico still draws its own corners. The monochrome layer keeps only the glyph. A themed icon drops the background, which is where the tile now lives, and a layer filled to the edges to stand in for it would tint to a featureless square. The glyph is half the width of the safe zone, taken from the two headers rather than invented -- both set >_ a little under half the tile across. It is also markedly more legible small than the outline was: dark on accent at 16px is a mark, where a sub-pixel hairline was a smudge.	2026-08-03 14:45:18 +02:00

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	7e4e068aab	Merge main into the teams branch ... Two conflicts, and both were two people counting the same things differently rather than disagreeing about what the code should do. PhoneShell's header comment. The branch made "the five hub screens" numberless, because TEAMS made it six and a number in that sentence had already gone stale once. Main corrected "three destinations" to "two" in the same sentence, because giving a shell the whole phone took the terminal out of the set the header is drawn on. Both are right and neither noticed the other: the header now stays on the hub's screens and on the two top-level destinations, which is Hosts and Keychain. The manual checks. Both sides appended a Phase 10 — main added the software keyboard and the phone's terminal surface as 10 and 11, the branch added Teams. Nothing about them overlaps, so the resolution is to keep all three in the order they were written and renumber Teams to Phase 12, its subsections and the one cross-reference inside 12.1 with it. Main's two phases keep the numbers they already carry in its history, since renumbering those would move headings somebody may already have linked to. Everything else merged without a conflict, and the two places worth checking afterwards both held: IsMoreSurface and the first case of PhoneShell.OnBackRequested each kept ShellScreen.Team alongside main's edits. Those two are one fact in two places, so a merge that dropped Team from either would have trapped the user on the teams screen with the MORE tab dark. Verified after resolving: solution builds with no errors and no new warnings, the Android head builds, and every suite passes — App 214, Layout 73, Api 162, Infrastructure 34, Contracts 25, Session 54. App gained the three shell-flow tests main brought with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-03 14:40:27 +02:00
jaap-jan	b86ff6158b	Keep the password that just worked, so the host stops asking for it ... The vault has held credentials and host bindings since they landed, and the only route from a typed password into one ran through two screens: add a password under Keychain, open the host, bind it. The password box's own tooltip instructed people to do exactly that by hand — which means typing the secret a second time, into a screen that has no idea which host it is for, while the screen that does have the password is the one being left behind. A tick beside the box does it in one step. What it produces is an ordinary CredentialSecret, named after the host, bound through CredentialId with AsksForPassword cleared beside it. That is the whole reason nothing else here had to change: it syncs, it merges, it appears in the keychain, it can be renamed and deleted, and it can be bound to the other nineteen machines that share the account. A password field on HostSecret would have been a payload schema bump, a fourth place a secret lives, and a copy per host to rotate and forget. It waits for a handshake the remote accepted, and that is not caution for its own sake. Binding on the keystroke would store whatever was in the box — including the typo about to be refused — and the host would then stop asking, leaving a machine nobody can connect to until they work out that the keychain is where the wrong password now lives. For the same reason the password is read from the credential as dialled rather than from the box, which stays typeable throughout a handshake. Off by default, because the typed box exists precisely for the passwords that should not be in a synchronised vault — a one-off on a machine somebody will never open again. The credential is written into the host's own vault rather than the active one: in the personal vault, bound to a team's host, it would be a binding every other member can see and none of them can resolve. One thing is given up knowingly. The confirmation naming where the password went is replaced a moment later by the auto-sync's own count, exactly as SaveHostAsync's "Saved 'x'" is; this follows that rather than becoming the one write that suppresses a sync line. The feedback that lasts is the row answering "credential" and the box disappearing — which is also the only way to store a password on the phone at all, since that head lists credentials but has never had an editor to create one in.	2026-08-03 14:40:25 +02:00
jaap-jan	c7c844f7bd	Give the desktop head the mark the phone has carried all along ... The window had no icon and the executable had no icon, so Windows drew its generic one in the taskbar, in alt-tab and in Explorer, next to an application that draws its own titlebar precisely so that nothing about it looks borrowed. The geometry is the launcher vector's, mapped so the middle 72 of its 108-unit viewport fills the canvas: that 72 is what an adaptive icon actually shows, and rendering the full 108 would draw the mark at 39% of the width. Nine sizes, because Windows asks for several and downsamples unkindly when one is missing, and a floor of one pixel on the strokes so 16px is a mark rather than a smudge. Windows takes an .ico and nothing else, so the raster the phone does not need exists here. dodossh-icon.ps1 sits beside it and draws it from those same numbers, so the two heads still have one geometry between them.	2026-08-03 14:34:39 +02:00

jaap-jan	80ae586fc4	Give a shell the whole phone, and one bar to leave it by ... A connected phone was drawing five rows of chrome around the thing the user opened it for. The vault header at 56, the terminal's own tab strip at 52, a connection line at 36, the shells strip at 46 and the four-entry bottom bar at 64: at 360dp that is about a third of the display, and every row of it was about somewhere the user was not. What replaces them is one 52-pixel bar drawn by the surface itself — back on the left, the session pills, and a `+` across from them — and then the terminal. Three of those rows belong to `PhoneShell` and each is now bound on `IsShowingPages`. That is the same question asked once rather than three conditions that could drift: the surface is either a page or a terminal, and these are the chrome a page has. The header needed a wrapper because Avalonia's bindings have no "and" and it already had a condition of its own; the strip needed one for the same reason. The bottom bar had none and is bound directly. The back arrow goes to the page the terminal was opened over rather than to Hosts by name, because the system back gesture already picks that and an arrow landing somewhere else would be the second of two answers to one question. The bar's `+` raises a sheet offering the three connections this application can make — a shell, a host's files over SFTP, a bucket — since SFTP and S3 used to be two taps through the bottom bar's MORE and the bar is not on screen here. A control that replaced it and led to one of the three would have quietly removed the other two. Two things moved rather than being dropped. The text-size buttons are pinned at the right-hand end of the accessory key row, outside its scroller: the connection line existed to keep them from scrolling out of reach, and being outside the scroller answers that argument rather than abandoning it. The dialled address moved onto the connecting card, which is the moment it is worth reading — what is being connected to, before anything has answered — and after that the shell's own prompt says it more accurately than a header derived from the keychain ever did. The sheet collapses the renderer rather than covering it. Whether Android's `WebView` composites above Avalonia content the way Win32's child window does is still unverified — `docs/android-port.md` has said so since the port — so this follows the desktop's palette and gives up the rectangle outright, which is correct under either answer. It collapses `IsTerminalShowing` and not `IsTerminalSurface`, because the bar the sheet was raised from is part of that surface and dropping it would take the bar, the tabs and the whole arrangement with it, leaving the sheet floating over the page underneath. `OnSurfaceChanged` is the one place the flag is lowered, and that is the load- bearing half. Every way out of a terminal ends there — a destination, the files screen, the palette connecting to a host, closing the last tab, a lock — and each of them would otherwise leave a sheet set over a page. Not merely untidy: the flag holds the renderer blank, so the next return to the terminal would draw the menu again over a rectangle kept blank by it. Opening is refused off the terminal surface for the same reason from the other direction. The back gesture gains a guard above the switch, in the shape of the editor guard that arrived with the phone's `+`. It is nearer than any of them: with no header and no bottom bar, while the menu is up that gesture is the only way off it other than the scrim and CANCEL. The bottom bar's Terminal entry lost its `IsCurrent` binding. The bar is collapsed on that surface, so the binding could only ever be read as false, and a rule about a state the control cannot be in is a claim that it can. Three tests in `ShellFlowTests`, which is where shared state-machine behaviour for this head goes: the collapse and its recovery, the refusal to open over a page, and the sheet lowering both by a menu entry and by a route it was never wired to. Everything visual needs a device, so it is phase 11 of `docs/manual-checks.md` — and 11.2 is the check that would finally settle the compositing question this head has carried as unverified since the port.	2026-08-03 14:33:16 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	a43286ece8	Let a team change hands, and be joined by somebody with no account yet ... M3 built teams and stopped short of the two operations that decide who controls one. Both were written down as refusals rather than omissions: ADR 0009 listed ownership transfer under "deliberately not built", and design-import-gaps said an invitation needed "a token with a lifetime and an outbound mail path". One of those reasons had expired and the other never applied — an invitation does not need a token if it is not a thing anybody presents. Handing a team over is one write. The member you name becomes owner and you become an admin, in a single transaction, because ownership is sole: promoting first leaves the team owned twice, demoting first leaves it owned by nobody, and there is nobody left with the authority to finish a transfer that stopped in the middle. That is also why it is not two calls to the role endpoint, which refuses Owner outright. The outgoing owner is demoted rather than removed — removing them would revoke their vault key grants and flag every team vault for rekey, which is a far larger act than the one asked for, and somebody handing over a team is usually staying in it. It unblocks the thing that was impossible before: an owner can now leave, by handing the team on first. An invitation is a standing instruction rather than a message. This server has no outbound mail path, so nothing is sent and there is nothing for the invitee to present. The row says the next account signing in with that address joins this team at this role, and telling them to sign in is the caller's job over a channel this server does not carry. A link nobody can deliver would be worse than none. It lives in its own table rather than becoming a membership with MembershipStatus.Invited, and that member stays unwritten for the reason it always was: team_membership.user_id is not nullable and carries a foreign key, so somebody who has never signed in has nothing for that row to point at. Widening it would make the unique index on (team, user) meaningless, because PostgreSQL counts every NULL as distinct. Verification is the security boundary, and nothing in this server read it before. A claim requires the access token to assert email_verified. An invitation decides what the server will serve, so one claimable by anybody able to obtain a token carrying somebody else's address is a way into a team — which is precisely the attack OidcOptions.AllowEmailLinking exists to refuse, and it would have been reintroduced by the back door. There is deliberately no setting that relaxes it: a flag that exists is one somebody turns on for the afternoon their provider is misconfigured. Absence is refused rather than trusted, and logged, because a provider that never sends the claim otherwise leaves every invitation pending with nothing anywhere saying why. Claiming happens at just-in-time provisioning and again on an hourly sweep. The sweep is what makes it recoverable rather than one-shot — an invitation issued between an account being created and that person next signing in would otherwise be stranded for ever — and it shares its rate with the last-seen write because both are housekeeping nobody is waiting on. Archiving is refused while a team owns a vault, and that refusal is the end of the road rather than a step on it. A team vault is readable because of membership, so archiving one that still owned vaults would take them away from everybody holding a key, including the caller, quietly and all at once. Nothing in this product deletes a vault, so no order of operations gets past it today — which is stated with a count of what is in the way, for the reason the SFTP layer refuses a recursive delete: a refusal is visible and a quiet removal is not. It is owner-only, as handing over is; renaming is not, because a rename is visible to everybody and reversible by anybody who can do it. The slug is not renameable at all: it is unique only among live teams, so a rename could take one an archived team is still holding, and that team could then never be restored. LAST ACTIVE is real and coarse on purpose. UserAccount.LastSeenAtUtc is refreshed on ordinary authenticated requests, at most once per account per hour, through ExecuteUpdateAsync — user_account carries the xmin concurrency token, so a read-then-write on the hot path would start losing races between one user's own overlapping requests. An hour is the granularity the question is actually asked at, and the interface draws it to the day rather than the minute so it does not read as a precision that is not there. The remarks in Contracts and in the view model that argued at length for the column's absence are rewritten rather than extended; both had become false. Two endpoints already existed and nothing called them. ChangeTeamMemberRole and ListVaultGrants have been reachable since M3. The role picker refuses Owner itself rather than letting the server do it, since the interface already knew the rule; the key-holder list sits under the vault rather than beside the member, because a grant is per vault and a count on a member row would imply per-item sharing, which is M5. It lists withdrawn and stale grants and says which they are — a list that dropped them would show a departed colleague as merely absent rather than as somebody whose key was taken away — and staleness is decided by comparing generations, since a grant can be Active and still open nothing. ADD MEMBER stopped being a dead end. An address the directory did not know used to end at a sentence telling the user their colleague had to sign in first. It invites them instead, from the same button, because which of the two applies is a fact about the server's account table rather than about what the user is doing; which one happened is reported afterwards, because that decides what they do next. An address that merely has an account is invited rather than refused: refusing would have made the endpoint an oracle for which addresses have accounts here, answerable by anybody willing to create a team first. The phone has a TEAMS screen, behind MORE, and it is the reverse of every other row in design-import-gaps: a shipped screen the design had no slot for. It is there because an invitation is claimed by signing in, so somebody told they are now in a team is at least as likely to be holding a phone — and a membership visible only on a head they never installed is one they cannot see. It draws SHARE KEY and nothing that takes something away: wrapping a key is the one act on that screen a server cannot perform at all, and the desktop guards its revocations with a tooltip, which is a control a touch screen cannot show. Two defects were found by an adversarial pass and both were green against the whole suite at the time. The owner-only check on archiving and handing over had been weakened to the admin check while their messages and comments still said owner — and since nothing behind the archive endpoint re-checks it, an admin the owner had promoted could have archived the team out from under them. And the rename endpoint built its response with a hardcoded Owner role, so an admin who renamed a team was handed a summary claiming they owned it, and a client trusting that instead of re-listing would have offered them the two owner-only buttons the server then refuses. The new table gets its constraints tested rather than merely migrated: live uniqueness per (team, address), the citext proof that an address typed by a person matches one cased by a provider, and reissue after both revocation and acceptance. The teams screen gets its first entries in the layout suite, at the minimum window with every list populated and with each of the two states that cover half of it — it had none, and it just grew four sections and a second line in the member row.

jaap-jan	6fe2b21781	Point every build at the hosted server, not just the ones that ship ... The default was split on DEBUG so a clone would offer localhost and only an installed build would offer ssh.dodotech.cloud. That protected development launches from enrolling a device against production. It also meant the address in the box depended on how the binary was built, which is not what was wanted. Working against a local API now means typing http://localhost:5233 by hand.	2026-08-03 14:27:01 +02:00
jaap-jan	416f233657	Let the lock screen wear the theme instead of its own copy of it ... Four controls on this screen carried a full set of metrics each, and three of them were a shared class rewritten by hand — UNLOCK is Button.primary down to the font weight, the fingerprint button is Button.secondary, the passphrase box is TextBox.field. Copies drift, and every difference between these and the originals was drift rather than intent: corner radii of 6 from the first design where v2's ladder says 9 for a button and 11 for a field, a label half a point small, and the missing content alignment that put UNLOCK's word against the top of its box and started this. Two things fall out that are worth naming, because neither was the reported fault. UNLOCK now has the pressed and disabled states the class carries, and before it had neither — pressing it ran Fluent's default, which replaces the accent fill with a theme grey, so the one button this application most wants to look deliberate flashed the wrong colour under a thumb. And the passphrase box is 44 rather than 48, which is what every other box on the phone is; the four pixels bought it nothing that the button under it does not already give the thumb. RESET keeps two properties of its own against Button.danger, and they are the two that carry meaning. That class is a DELETE beside a KEEP, where the red outline says which of two offered actions costs something. Here there is no pair, and a bordered red button under UNLOCK reads as the next thing to try rather than as the last resort the screen means it to be. The live-sessions disclosure is not a class anywhere — warn cards are plain borders on all three screens that draw one — but its radius was 6 against the 12 the other two use, so it joins the ladder without joining a class.	2026-08-03 14:08:30 +02:00
jaap-jan	6fb82a111e	Sit UNLOCK's word in the middle of the button it is drawn on ... A button's content alignment defaults to Stretch and the Fluent template binds it straight through, so a text block filling a 48-pixel button draws its line along the top edge of it rather than across the middle. That is why all seven button classes in Phone.axaml set VerticalContentAlignment, and it is why this one did not: the lock screen is the only place on the phone whose buttons carry their own metrics rather than a class, and it was written with the horizontal half of the pair and not the vertical. Its two neighbours are unaffected and not for the same reason, which is worth knowing before this is read as a pattern: RESET has no fixed height and a symmetric vertical padding, and the fingerprint button's content is a panel that stretches and centres its own children. Only the one with a bare string in a fixed-height box shows it. Left as its own set of metrics rather than folded into Button.primary, which it otherwise duplicates down to the font weight. The two differ in corner radius — 6 here against the 9 the v2 ladder gives a button — and changing that is a design decision rather than a fix to the thing that was reported.	2026-08-03 14:04:58 +02:00
jaap-jan	ce86a4ff72	Look the panel up, because the field the generator declares is never filled ... The last commit crashed the phone before its first frame. `PhoneShell` took the `Body` field that Avalonia's name generator declares for `x:Name`, and that field is assigned in the generated `InitializeComponent` — which no view on this head calls, all of them loading their XAML directly instead. It compiles, it is null at run time, and this control dereferences it in its constructor. `TerminalScreen` has been looking its two named controls up with `FindControl` since it was written, for exactly this reason. This does the same, and the remark on the field now says why so the next person reaching for the shorter spelling finds the answer before the device does. Confirmed rather than guessed: the generator's output for this control is one method, and the assignment is inside it.	2026-08-03 14:01:07 +02:00
jaap-jan	35387b1c9d	Tell the phone's keyboard these are secrets, and get it off the box ... Five boxes on this head take a secret and every one of them was drawing dots and saying nothing. `PasswordChar` is a screen property: Windows has no opinion about what is being typed into a text box, so the desktop head needs nothing more. Android's software keyboard has an opinion, and left at its default it read a vault passphrase as prose — completions offered in the suggestion strip above the box, and the passphrase itself learned into the IME's dictionary. Dots on screen with a word bar over them is the worst of both: hidden from the person typing it and offered to the room. `TextInputOptions.ContentType` is the property the Android backend maps onto `InputType`, and it is what turns both off. Both attributes now live in one `TextBox.secret` class rather than being repeated per box, because they are two halves of one fact and the next box added would have got one of them. The keyboard also went on covering whichever box had raised it. That is in `PhoneShell` rather than on each screen: everything the phone draws is inside its one root panel, so a bottom margin shortens all eleven screens at once, and a screen added later cannot forget to handle something it never had to know about. Two mechanisms, and it matters that neither is a backstop for the other. Before Android 15 the activity now declares `AdjustResize` and the platform shortens the window itself; left unspecified Android chooses, and what it chooses for a window whose entire content is one native view — which is what an Avalonia surface is — is to pan, sliding the window by however much it thinks the focused native view needs and leaving the box exactly where it was. That was the bug. From Android 15 the attribute is ignored, edge-to-edge being enforced and the window no longer resized for the keyboard at all, and the reported inset is what there is. Each is dead where the other applies — where the window resizes, the inset arrives already consumed and measures zero — which is why the margin comes from the inset alone. Both added together would strand the interface an entire keyboard above the keyboard. Scrolling the box back into view keys off the size change rather than off either mechanism. `ScrollViewer` already brings a newly focused child into view; what it cannot know is that the visible region shrank after the focus, and both ways of losing that region end in the same resize. None of it is reachable by a test. The software keyboard is an inset the platform reports and a headless top level reports none, so phase 10 of `docs/manual-checks.md` is the whole of the verification — including the note to run it on one device each side of Android 15, since a build exercised on only one of the two will look correct and be half broken.	2026-08-03 13:55:08 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	16e0051e89	Draw the tags that have been storable and invisible since the domain landed ... `Tag` has been a full item kind for three commits — a table, a migration, a codec, a merge, a cipher — and `HostSecret.TagIds` has merged per tag so two people tagging one host both keep theirs. Nothing drew a chip. The tags a client could store were ones nothing here could see. Chips on host rows, both heads, from names resolved through the tag list rather than ids: a tag that does not resolve is left out rather than drawn, because it means the tag was deleted elsewhere or belongs to a vault this session cannot read, and a host with one chip fewer is the honest answer where a host wearing a GUID is not. The id stays on the host, so the chip comes back if the tag does. The picker is chips that toggle, matching the chips on the row behind it. A list of names to tick would make the user match an entry to a chip they can see two inches away. The box under it creates a tag and puts it on straight away, because that is when a tag is usually wanted — while tagging a host and finding it does not exist yet. Unlike every other field in that editor it writes to the keychain immediately, since a host can only name an id that exists; cancelling therefore leaves the tag behind, which is honest rather than hidden. A name that already exists is used rather than repeated: two tags called "staging" are storable and must stay storable, because two people creating one offline is how it happens, but typing it into a box beside a chip of the same name is a slip. Renaming and deleting needed a home, or the picker fills with names nobody uses and never empties. That home is a TAGS category on the keychain screen, where every other item kind is managed — and renaming is the whole reason a tag is an item rather than a string repeated inside twenty payloads: it is one write, and no host is touched. The delete confirmation counts the hosts wearing it, which is the difference between a tidy-up and losing a filter somebody relies on. The desktop host editor now scrolls, and that is not a tidy-up. A picker's height is a chip per tag in the keychain, wrapped, so somebody with fifteen tags has an editor half again as tall as somebody with three; no fixed height holds that, and trimming other fields to buy room only moves the failure to whoever has sixteen. The layout suite caught it the moment its seeder grew tags — which is why the seeder now creates ten rather than three, enough to drive the pane onto its cap so the capped shape is what gets measured rather than one no real keychain produces. The cost is named where it is paid: the harness skips anything inside a ScrollViewer, so from here it certifies that pane fits the column rather than that every field in it does. Two smaller things fell out. Five buttons overflowed the keychain header by a few pixels, so GENERATE lost the word KEY — its tooltip carries what the word did. And TotalItemCount had been counting keys and credentials while ALL showed four kinds; it counts all five now, because a number under a chip that disagrees with the rows it opens is worse than no number. An adversarial review of this change found two defects it had introduced, both green against the full suite. NewTag filed into the "new items go to" picker while the tag list only ever holds the active vault's — so with a team vault selected a tag would be created, queued for push, reported as added, and then invisible, with no row, no count, no picker entry and nothing able to rename or delete it, because there is no active-vault switcher to go and find it with. The comment on the host editor's own create path states that exact rule; this was the one place that broke it, and NewObjectStore, whose list is likewise active-vault-only, already ignored the picker. And the tag editor was the only one of five that did not disarm a pending deletion when it opened, so arming a key's deletion and then pressing + TAG left a live DELETE for an item the user was no longer looking at, directly above the boxes they were typing into. Both are fixed, both have a test, and the first was checked against the broken version before being kept. The same review caught a doc comment that had been inserted between SnippetRowViewModel's summary and its declaration, silently taking it over. Verified by the whole suite on a clean build: 1413 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. The rectangles the layout suite cannot reach are phase 9 of docs/manual-checks.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	4925dcf179	Give the phone the + it was promised, and the editors behind it ... Steps 5 and 6 of docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md, which finishes it. The phone can now put things in a keychain rather than only read one. The floating + arrives three designs after it was first asked for. It was refused twice on the honest grounds that it would open an editor this head had not got — and that stopped being true when steps 1 to 4 landed. It raises a sheet rather than a form, because "add" on this screen has been two operations since groups existed: a host, or a group to file hosts under. Both editors are cards in the list's own row, swapped for the list rather than stacked over it, following SnippetsScreen and for the reason written there: a form on top of the list hides what it is about. There is still no dialog and no editor screen anywhere on this head. The port and username boxes may be left empty, and the greyed text inside each is what the host will actually use — following the group picker as it moves, so the form says what leaving a box blank will do rather than making it a guess. The back gesture gains a guard above the switch rather than a case inside it. An editor is not a screen and has no entry there, and it is strictly nearer: the sheet sits over the editor's own screen, so back lowers whatever is topmost before it considers moving between screens. A group editor needs a way in, and the phone draws no groups panel — so the heading in the host list gains a pencil. A + that adds groups with no way to correct one is the same strange thing to ship as one that adds hosts with no way to correct one, and worse: a group's defaults are what every host beneath it falls back to. Scouting step 6 turned up a bug worth more than the prose it was looking for. ReloadGroupsAsync read the active vault alone, which was a cosmetic limitation while a group carried only a name — a teammate's host showed under UNGROUPED and nothing else was lost. Since a group began lending a port, a username and a binding, the same omission silently dropped all three: that host would dial 22 as nobody while the machine is on 2222 as deploy, with nothing on screen saying why. The resolution map now spans every readable vault. The editable list stays narrow, because a row shown across vaults needs a vault id for rename and delete and two vaults may hold groups with one name — but the map needs none of that, since it is only ever asked what an id says. An adversarial review of this change found something I had written a comment denying. The + was a child of the outer Panel rather than of the list's row, so it anchored to the bottom of the screen and sat squarely over the new EDIT button and the lower edge of CONNECT — and because a Panel hit-tests its last-declared child first, tapping the right end of EDIT would have raised the add sheet. The comment beside it claimed it was in the list's row precisely so that could not happen, and manual-checks 8.1 names that exact failure. It is in Grid.Row 2 now. The same pass caught a connect bar that was disabled rather than hidden while its own comment said hidden, a scrim that would have flashed its default pressed chrome across the screen, a fab comment claiming an accent fill no other button had when Button.primary has it, and a back-gesture remark naming two view-model properties that do not exist anywhere in the repo. That last one came from this plan, which invented IsVaultsSurface and IsConnectionsSurface, and pointed step 6 at a ConnectionsScreen.axaml that has never existed. Both are corrected in the plan rather than quietly worked around, along with a fourth "groups are flat" site in README.md that step 1 missed. The phone's rectangles are not measurable and structurally never will be: the layout suite is net10.0, the Android head is net10.0-android, and Avalonia's application is a one-shot process global — so a second head cannot share the process even if the reference were possible. Everything the sheet and both editors bind to is shared and is tested headlessly here; the pixels go to docs/manual-checks.md phase 8, nine checks, which is where this project already sends what it cannot assert. Tags remain the one thing asked for that did not ship. Tag is a full item kind and TagIds merges, encodes and resolves, but no screen draws a chip or offers to add one, so the tags a client can store are ones nothing here can see. Both editors carry the set through a save untouched so a client that can set them does not lose them. Recorded as half-shipped in docs/design-import-gaps.md rather than quietly left out. Verified by the whole suite: 1402 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. Nothing seen on a display — phase 8 is what that costs.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	b7335743d9	Make a host take what its group lends it, everywhere it is read ... Step 4 of docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md. The domain could resolve a host against its groups; nothing asked it to. This is the wiring, and it is mostly one change repeated: read the resolved host, not the stored one. TryBuildAuthentication and TryBuildConnectionRequest now take the resolved value beside the stored one, which is where group context was being lost. It is the only authentication resolution in the product — both heads and both transports come through it — so a host inheriting its binding would otherwise have been offered a password prompt on every screen at once. The credential-username fallback becomes three levels, and Complete still refuses an empty username, but now only after the chain has been walked; refusing before it would refuse exactly the hosts inheritance exists to serve. HostRowViewModel carries its ResolvedHost, resolved once when the list is built. Address, Authentication and Dialled read it, so a row cannot disagree with itself about what it dials — and MainWindowViewModel.Rank searches Address, so a host inheriting 2222 that displayed 22 would have been unfindable by the port it actually answers on. HostsBoundTo counts over the resolved binding, which is the difference between a warning and a silence: a key bound once on a group and inherited by twenty hosts named nobody, would have been deleted, and would then have refused all twenty at connect time. HostFields.From is answered by a refusal rather than by threading a group list through the sync engine. A relay host may not inherit its port. The reason is stronger than the convenience: a plaintext column is a derived duplicate the client supplies when it pushes *this* host, so an inherited port would make it depend on another item — editing a group would change what the relay dials for every host beneath it, except that nothing re-pushes those hosts, so the server would keep dialling the old port until each was next touched for some unrelated reason. A stale wire on the relay path connects the user to the wrong service. The editor distinguishes unset from explicit in both directions. An empty port box means "take the group's" and shows what that will be as a placeholder, following the group picker as it moves — a pre-filled 2222 would have been indistinguishable from one the user typed, and saving would have pinned it. The authentication picker gains a fourth entry, offered only to a host in a group, because for an ungrouped host it would behave exactly like the first. Which found a real defect while the tests were being written. Filing an ungrouped host into a group silently pinned it to a typed password: the picker had no "Inherit" entry when it opened, so it sat on "Password (ask each time)", and saving wrote that as a decision — the host would have been pinned to a prompt nobody asked for and the group's key would never have reached it. Two guards now: the picker is rebuilt when the group changes, and BuildHost writes AsksForPassword only for a host that had the alternative on offer. The group editor is here too, and the plan never assigned it a step. Without it no group can carry a default, so every line above would have been unreachable. It grows a parent picker that leaves out the group itself and everything beneath it — a courtesy rather than the guarantee, since a cycle assembled from two offline re-parents was never offered that list — and three defaults beside the name, each of which may be left empty because "lend nothing" is an answer. Tags are stored and not editable. TagIds merges, encodes and resolves; no screen can set one yet, and the editor carries the set through a save untouched so a client that can set them does not lose them to somebody editing a port. Eight new tests, and they dial. That is the point of them: a resolved value that never reaches SshConnectionRequest is a label, and every one of these failures would be silent — a host connecting to the wrong port, or being asked for a password it does not need, with nothing on screen admitting it. Verified by the whole suite: 1390 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. Nothing on the phone has changed.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	8c04ba60b0	Build the three things the phone's + needs, before the + exists ... Steps 1 to 3 of docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md: the domain half. Nothing on either head has changed, which is deliberate — the plan orders these first because everything the editors will bind to has to exist and be merge-safe before a screen can offer it. HostGroupSecret gains a parent and four defaults, and the codec gains the version rule it never had. It stamped CurrentSchemaVersion unconditionally, which was harmless with one field and one version and stops being harmless here: upgrading one machine and renaming any group would have made that group uneditable on every machine still on the old build. It now emits the lowest version that loses nothing, so a flat group with no defaults still encodes at version 1, byte for byte, pinned against a literal. Tags become a real item over the reserved slot. Secret, codec, merge, cipher, repository, both registries, the EF entity and a generated AddTagItem migration. TagCipher names AadResourceType.Tag as a constant rather than casting the wire type, because Tag is 5 on the wire and 8 in the crypto enum and 5 there is Credential — a cast would seal every tag under the resource type for a password, encrypt and decrypt perfectly on the machine that wrote it, and only fail when another implementation refused the item, by which time the AAD is frozen into stored ciphertext. HostTag stays reserved and unused: the one thing the join buys over a set on the host is bought instead by merging TagIds per id. HostSecret grows TagIds and Port goes nullable, which is the change with the widest blast radius and the only one that loses an item rather than locking one. A host with no port of its own omits the property, an older build reads int Port as 0, and TryValidate refuses it — unreadable rather than read-only. That cost is confined to hosts which actually inherit, because the version is a maximum over the fields present; the alternative, writing 22 into every host, is the lie inheritance exists to stop telling. One decision the plan did not specify. "Three states where there were two" is four — key, credential, typed password, or the group's answer — and two nullable ids carry three. Naming neither id now means inherit, so AsksForPassword says "a typed password even under a group that lends a key" out loud. Only true is ever written and a decoded false folds back to null, so a host that never touched it encodes as it always did. Nothing already stored changed meaning: no group could lend a binding before this build, so every existing host resolves exactly as it did. HostInheritance is the resolver, and its visited set is load-bearing rather than defensive. Two clients can each re-parent A under B and B under A while offline; the merge sees one item against one item and the server sees ciphertext, so nothing upstream can refuse the pair. With inheritance the chain is walked at connect time, so an unguarded cycle is not an undrawable sidebar — it is a shell that never opens. Stopping at the first repeat degrades it to a group that reads as a root, and clearing the parent is the repair. A tag set turns out to be the one field on a host that can never ask the user anything. TagSet.ToIdMap keys by the value, so no key can hold two values, so the both-sides-moved-differently branch of the keyed merge is unreachable — asserted over the whole eight-row matrix. The conflict loop is kept anyway, because that proof is one edit from ceasing to hold and what it would cause is a discarded tag nothing records. Three guard tests failed by design and were fixed rather than relaxed: the ordered pull filter, the AAD pinning table, and the server's refusal of a plaintext parent — that last one survives with its reason rewritten, because the refusal now means "the parent is not the server's to hold" rather than "there is no such thing as a parent". The prose that said groups are flat is rewritten in all four places it appeared, not deleted. The five view-model sites that read Port directly now go through the resolver, which is a down payment on step 4 rather than the whole of it. HostFields.From still emits the stored port, and that is the one remaining place where an unresolved read would be a wrong wire rather than a wrong label. Verified by the whole suite: 1382 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. Nothing seen on a display, because nothing on a display has changed yet.

jaap-jan	c9eca96ce7	Merge pull request 'Write down how the phone will add hosts, before it adds any' (#2) from add-hosts-on-the-phone into main ... Reviewed-on: DodoTech/DodoSSH#2	2026-08-02 20:08:49 +00:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	9629b7d938	Write down how the phone will add hosts, before it adds any ... The + button the design has asked for twice needs three things that do not exist: a tag, a group's parent, and a group's defaults. Two of them are refused on the record — HostGroupSecret argues groups are flat, and the theme argues an unused style is a claim the control exists. So the plan goes in first, with the decisions and the reasons. Tags become a real item over the reserved slot, a host names them, and membership merges through ThreeWayMerge.Map rather than as a whole value, so two people tagging one host both keep theirs — which is what HostTag was going to buy. Group defaults inherit rather than copy, shown as the field's placeholder, which is what makes editing a group afterwards mean anything. A parent arrives with a visited-set walk, because with inheritance a cycle is no longer an undrawable sidebar — it is a shell that never opens. Also written down: that Port has to go nullable and everything that touches, the byte pin it will trip, and the schema-version branch whose absence would make an inheriting host unreadable rather than read-only on every client that has not been upgraded.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	359087f1ce	Give the tabs their hover back, and the plus the shape its comment claims ... Two things v2 broke in the last commit, both found by reading resolved brushes rather than markup, and both the same mistake: Avalonia has no specificity, so the later declaration wins, and a rule that restated the base instead of excepting from it went in below the rules it was supposed to be underneath. Making a tab a pill gave it a Background of its own, which the flat tab it replaced never had. That one detail moved where the hover has to live. `Button.flat:pointerover` is declared far above and had been supplying it; the moment `Button.tab`'s template rule set a Background, it won, and every tab in the strip stopped answering the pointer. Silently — a tab that no longer lights is not a crash and not a layout change, and nothing in a suite that measures heights and reachability can see it. The `+` lost more than that. It sits below as an exception — no outline, because it is not one of the things being chosen between — and a `.tab` rule declared after it was overriding the exception itself. It drew as a filled, outlined pill identical to a tab, contradicting the comment directly above it. So the base pill and its hover come first now and the exceptions follow, which is the order the rest of this file already uses and the order the Border.rowmark note further down was written about. The `+` clears the fill as well as the border, because an exception to a rule that sets both has to say both. The titlebar's search box had the same shape of error in geometry rather than colour. The design draws it at exactly 380 and centred, and stating that as a Width on the inner Border is what made it wrong: the button around it is free to shrink when the account name or the vault chip beside it is long, and a Border that will not shrink with it arranges outside its own parent — over the name on one side and over the window buttons on the other. MaxWidth on a stretching button gives the same 380 whenever there is room and gives way when there is not. The regression test is the point of this commit rather than an afterthought. It is the only test in that suite that reads a brush, and the gap it fills is exactly the one these two went through: everything else measures rectangles. It hovers a tab through the real input path and asserts the fill changes, then asserts the `+` is neither filled like a tab nor outlined like one. Checked against the broken ordering before being kept — it fails there and passes here, which is the only thing that makes a regression test worth committing. Verified by the whole suite: 1310 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, the layout suite now 70 cases. Both heads build. Still nothing seen on a display.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	3627021420	Give the desktop the second design too, and the window the size it now needs ... The desktop v2 design is the other half of the one the phone took last commit, and this is its chrome: a 190-pixel labelled sidebar where the 54-pixel icon rail was, a titlebar with the search box centred in it, and session tabs drawn as pills. The palette was already here — it is shared, and moved when the phone's did — so what this changes is shape rather than colour. **The window's minimum grew, and by exactly what v2 added.** The sidebar is 136 wider and the chrome 14 taller, so 880x560 became 1016x574. That is not a round number somebody liked: it leaves every screen the same 826x464 it was designed against, which is the arithmetic the layout suite is built on. Four of the tables stop fitting at 690 wide, so widening the sidebar and leaving the window alone would have broken them somewhere no test was looking. LayoutHarness carries the new constants and the suite still passes at the minimum, which is the whole reason it exists. The rail's five-character abbreviations are gone with the width that caused them — PINS and SNIPS are Pins and Snippets again — and each row gains a glyph and a count. A count is drawn only where one is real, so SFTP, Logs and Preferences show nothing rather than a zero: a transfer queue's depth is not how many files a screen holds, and a log has no total until it is read. The count beside Pins is the vault's own, not the Pins screen's VisiblePins, which is the filtered list and would have made the sidebar count whatever somebody had just typed into a filter box on another screen. Teams has no count for a related reason: they are read from the server when that screen is opened rather than on unlock, so a number there would read 0 until somebody had already been to look. One colour moved with it, finishing what the repalette started: the live-session summaries on the unlock and sign-out cards were Info, so the two heads disagreed about a fact the phone paints green. They match again. **Buckets became a destination rather than a mode**, which is what the design draws and what the phone already does. The HOST / BUCKET pair inside the files screen is gone; ShellScreen.Buckets draws the same TransfersScreen with the other picker, and the sidebar entry is what sets it. That also settles an old disagreement rather than merely moving it: TotalItemCount is keys plus passwords and excludes buckets, so the number beside the keychain used to disagree with the list under it, and now counts what that screen shows. There is one session behind both file destinations, so asking for the other kind while something is open is refused rather than obeyed — and refusing means staying put. An earlier turn of this had it move anyway and only decline to switch the picker, which put the S3 entry in the sidebar over a screen still listing an SFTP host: two pieces of chrome disagreeing about where you are, which is worse than the navigation simply not happening. The message that says so goes to Transfers.Status, which turned out to be drawn in the same grid cell as the connected chip — survivable while it was mostly read before connecting, and not once a refusal reports itself there. It has its own column now. The design has nine entries' worth of screens and draws five. Pins, Teams, Import and Preferences are built, working screens, so they keep their entries — the sidebar is labelled now and has the room, and dropping an entry would have stranded a screen rather than simplified anything. The Team vault card the design pins to the foot is not drawn: it is a second route to a screen already in the list, carrying a seat count nothing here produces. **The status bar survives the design that deletes it**, cut down to one thing. Two of the three facts it carried moved into the titlebar with v2 — the sync word is beside its dot and the shortcut hint is inside the box that uses it — so those are gone from it rather than printed twice. The third is Vault.Status, the only channel this application has for saying a save failed or a merge picked a winner. The design is a mock-up of an afternoon that goes well and has nowhere to put a sentence like that; dropping the bar would have meant dropping the sentence or repeating it on nine screens. What v2 draws and this does not is in docs/design-import-gaps.md, and it is the same list as the phone's for the same reasons: the forwarding screen and both its chips, the host detail's fingerprint, tags and last-session cards, the keychain's rotate button, the logs' FOLLOW pill and severity filters, and the session footer's latency. The terminal is not inset behind a rounded frame either — it is a native child window that composites above everything Avalonia paints, so the frame would clip nothing, which is the same answer the phone gave. **The light theme is not built.** Its accent is #6D5AE6, a different hue rather than a tint of the dark one, so it needs every colour doubled, a variant to switch on, the renderer's own page switching with it, and contrast checked twice. That is a piece of work rather than a setting, and it is separable from the layout — which is why this commit is the layout. The screens themselves are restyled through the shared vocabulary rather than rebuilt: corner radii, chips, cards and the accent's ink, all in App.axaml, so every screen moves at once. Their layouts are left alone deliberately. The design draws read-only detail panes and these screens carry the editors and forms it has no equivalent of, so replacing a layout with the mock-up's would have lost the half that is actually used. Verified by the whole suite: 1309 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, including the 68 layout cases that stand up real Avalonia and measure every screen at the new minimum. Both heads build. Not run on a machine with a display — see docs/manual-checks.md for what wants looking at.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	5593f337b6	Give the phone the second design, and both heads the palette it arrives with ... The Android v2 design is what this head draws now: four destinations in a bottom bar — Hosts, Terminal, Keychain, More — with snippets, SFTP, S3, logs and preferences one tap deeper behind the last. The first design's four had nothing behind them, which is what made a hub worth building. The palette moved from green-black to blue-black, and it moved in the shared project because that is where it lives and the desktop v2 specifies the same seventeen tokens. One colour changed meaning rather than value, and it is the only semantic change in the file. Green used to *be* the accent, so Ellipse.dot.live filled with Accent and "the thing to press" and "a shell is open on this host" were the same colour by construction. v2 makes the accent blue and keeps a green for status alone, which finally separates them: Live is that green and nothing merely interactive may use it. The accent is also two colours now — Accent fills, AccentText writes — because a row of chips in the fill colour is a row of things that all look like the primary action. A palette is not one file, which is the part worth knowing before the next one. Nine hex literals lived outside it: the nav bar's own label colours, the accessory keys and their Ctrl-latched state, two scrims, the window background Android paints before Avalonia has a frame, and the launcher vector. The two C# sites now resolve from the dictionary by name rather than restating it. The renderer's page cannot — it is served to a WebView over a loopback socket — so terminal.css and terminal.js keep hand-copied values and say so at both sites. ShellScreen gained More and Buckets, appended rather than slotted in. SFTP and S3 are one screen over one TransfersViewModel differing only in which picker they offer, and the kind is set by the button that navigates rather than on arrival — doing it in OnScreenChanged made every arrival at Transfers force the picker back to hosts, including the desktop's own rail arriving at a screen with a bucket already open. It refuses to change kind while a session is live, because there is one session behind both destinations and switching under it would title a screen S3 while it listed an SFTP host. What the design draws and this does not, on the usual grounds. The FORWARDING screen: nothing here forwards anything, so every toggle would be a control with no effect — it is a paragraph on the hub naming the absence, for the reason the desktop keeps TEAMS in its rail. The terminal's `23 ms · fwd 5432`. An ED25519 badge and a SHA256 line on keychain cards, which need an algorithm field and a fingerprint the item type does not have. An `agent` chip, for an agent that does not exist. Snippet run history and exit codes. The Logs FOLLOW pill, which claims a live tail over records that are written once at close and read when the screen opens, and the severity filter, which has nothing to count — that chip row is spent on the real choice, which of the two logs. S3 bucket totals and lifecycle. And the + on HOSTS, which would open a host editor this head has not got. SFTP is browse, open and delete. Both transfer commands work, and what they work against is the local pane: QueueDownloads writes to Path.Combine(LocalPath, name), and LocalPath starts at SpecialFolder.UserProfile, which on Android is the application's own private directory. A download would have reported success and left the file where the person who asked for it cannot open it, which is worse than not offering it — a refusal is visible and a file in /data/user/0/ is not. The queue is not drawn either, since nothing here can put anything in it. Both return with the document picker. The foreground service still counts zero transfers, and the reason moved rather than went away. Four defects worth naming, because three of them are the kind that compile. A Button as a ListBox ItemTemplate swallows the pointer press before the list sees it, so the files listing selected nothing and every command reading the selection did nothing — the row is a Border now and the phone-only single-tap-to-open is a Tapped handler, which also keeps a desktop single click from walking into directories. Avalonia type selectors are exact, so TextBlock.fingerprint never matched SelectableTextBlock and every fingerprint on this head rendered proportional and unwrapped: that was breaking the never-truncated rule on the host-key sheet already. The new two-level hierarchy had no handler for the system back gesture, so back left the application from a log screen. And the tab's close cross had shrunk to a 30x32 target flush against the select target, which is the one control here that ends a shell with no confirmation and no undo. Fingerprint unlock is raised on arriving at the lock screen rather than waiting for its button, which is still there. Only at launch: a lock the user asked for is not answered with an immediate request to unlock, which makes LOCK look inert and trains the reflex of authenticating at a prompt nobody asked for. And once, because a declined gesture leaves the passphrase box exactly where it was and a prompt that came back after being dismissed would be a modal you cannot get out of to type into it. Two fixes fall on the desktop. Its file listing coloured directories with Info and executables with Accent, which was blue against green and is now two steps of one blue; an executable is Live now. And a bucket's folders were drawn with a 0001-01-01 timestamp, because a prefix has no modification time — blank now, for the reason a directory's size is blank. Verified by the whole suite: 1309 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, including the layout suite that stands up real Avalonia and parses every desktop screen. Both heads build. Not verified on a device — nothing in this head ever has been; see docs/android-port.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	c00e5dbc5c	Let the terminal's text be made bigger, and remember how big ... Taking pinch-zoom off the phone left nothing in its place, and there was nothing on the desktop either. This is the replacement, and it is deliberately not the thing that was removed: zoom scales what has already been drawn, so the remote goes on wrapping to a width that is no longer on screen. Changing the font size refits the grid and reports the new column count, so the far end is told it has fewer columns. That round trip is the feature. The size is one number, owned by the shell. It has to be, for two reasons that pull the same way: it must survive a relaunch, and it must be reachable from a phone that has no Ctrl key to press. So the page asks and the host decides — a signed step over a new client opcode, answered with a size over a new server opcode. The phone's buttons and the desktop's chords arrive at the same place, and a size set by either is the size both remember. Stored in settings.json beside the cache rather than in it, and that is not laziness about a migration. The cache is encrypted and unreadable until a vault is unlocked, and the first terminal of a locked launch needs the size already. Nothing secret may go in that file; ClientSettings says so out loud, because the next person to add a preference is the one who needs to read it. Where it is reachable from differs per head, and only here. The phone gets A− and A+ on the connection line — not in the accessory row, which scrolls, and a control that fixes unreadable text must never be the thing that is off-screen. The desktop gets the three chords every terminal emulator has, answered by the page while a terminal has focus and by the window when it does not, plus a row in preferences that shows the current value and names the chords rather than replacing them. Someone whose terminal is too small to read is not in a position to go looking. Clamped 8 to 32. Below eight a monospace grid stops being legible and becomes a texture, and every column of it is still a column the remote is being told exists; above thirty-two a phone in portrait has too few columns to hold a prompt. The buttons disable at the ends rather than accepting presses that do nothing, which on a terminal reads as the application having stopped responding. The preferences screen's header comment claimed none of the design's terminal settings could be saved, and listed the three things that were missing to make one work. All three now exist, so it says which one is real and why the other five still are not. Verified with the protocol suite — including that the step byte round-trips signed, since read unsigned a step down arrives as 255 and clamps to the largest font, making "smaller" do the most dramatic available version of "larger" — a data-plane test that the chord is heard with no session registered, and five shell tests: the default matches the renderer's, both clamps hold, reset works, and a size chosen in one shell is there in a second one over the same profile directory. Layout suite and both heads build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-02 13:15:11 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	5cb9ffaf9d	Stop the phone's terminal being a page you can pinch ... The terminal on Android could be pinch-zoomed and double-tap zoomed, which a terminal must not be: the grid is sized to the window by the fit addon and the column count is told to the remote, so zooming makes the visible width disagree with what the far end is wrapping to, and puts the cell under your thumb somewhere other than where you tapped. Three things, and the first is the one that made it look worst. The page had no viewport meta tag at all. An Android WebView with no viewport lays out at a notional 980 CSS pixels and scales the result down to fit, so a terminal built to fill the window was drawn small and then offered as something to zoom around in. width=device-width makes one CSS pixel one layout pixel, which is what the fit addon has been assuming all along and what a desktop WebView gives without being asked. Second, the gestures. touch-action: pan-y keeps the only one a terminal wants — dragging the scrollback — and refuses pinch-zoom and the double-tap zoom that fired on every attempt to place a cursor. text-size-adjust stops Android's own font inflation, which resizes text it judges too small without telling the page and leaves the characters no longer matching the grid that was measured. Third, the knob that actually disables zoom: BuiltInZoomControls on the WebView. user-scalable=no is in the viewport tag for completeness and does nothing on its own — Blink has ignored it since Chrome 48 and WebView follows Blink. That is worth knowing before somebody removes the C# and trusts the meta tag. The page and stylesheet are shared with the desktop head, deliberately, and none of it costs anything there: a desktop WebView already lays out at device width, and a Windows touchscreen should not be pinch-zooming a terminal either. This does not settle whether the phone should keep a browser-based terminal at all, which is the question actually asked. It does remove the reason it was asked, and every complaint about this renderer so far has turned out to be configuration rather than the approach. Verified by building the head in Debug and Release and by the desktop layout suite, which draws the same assets. Not verified on a device — nothing in this head is; see docs/android-port.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	52596aac76	Ask the Linux WebView for the one mode it can draw in this window ... The terminal renders nothing on Linux, and does it in the most misleading way available: the page loads, the scripts run, the renderer connects, InvokeScript answers. Everything works except the pixels, so it reads as a broken terminal rather than as a host with nowhere to paint. Measured on Fedora 44 with Avalonia.Controls.WebView 12.0.1, by a spike that hosts a NativeWebView and reads AdapterInfo. The backend is WebKitGTK 2.52.5 — not the WPE one this repository's platform notes predicted, and Fedora packages no WPE WebKit at all, so that path was never going to be the answer here. In its default mode the adapter reports SupportedScenarios = NativeDialog: a window of its own, and nothing that can be hosted in place. Identical under X11 and Wayland, so it is the adapter's answer rather than a session problem. Setting ExperimentalOffscreen on the GTK environment arguments changes the same adapter's answer to OffscreenRenderer — the compositor-drawn mode, which is what the NativeWebViewCompositorHost mentioned in those same notes exists to host. MainWindow now sets it as the environment is settled. Windows and macOS are untouched by construction rather than by an OS check: the argument is a GTK type there and the handler does nothing. The platform notes carried this as "unproven, and still the largest risk in the plan". They carry the measurement now, including the part that is still unproven and the reason the spike could not settle it. What is NOT verified is that it now paints. An XWayland root capture is black under a Wayland compositor and RenderTargetBitmap does not capture a compositor surface, so both ways of looking at it from here failed. It needs eyes on a running client, and if the terminal is still blank the next question is whether it takes input at all — that separates "not drawing" from "not hosted".

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	a0d53b0c9d	Give the phone its screens back by not stealing a data context ... Signing in on the phone reached an unlocked shell showing PREFERENCES over the middle of the screen, with a bottom bar whose four buttons did nothing. The buttons were fine. Every one of them changed the shell's screen exactly as asked, and nothing moved, because an opaque panel was sitting on top of the whole page area and never came down. PendingScreen set DataContext = this in its constructor, so that Heading and Detail could be written as plain bindings inside its own XAML. That is not a private arrangement: a binding the parent writes ON one of these — IsVisible="{Binding IsPreferencesShowing}" in PhoneShell — resolves against this control's data context, which was no longer the shell. The binding looked for a shell property on a PendingScreen, found nothing, and left IsVisible at its default. Its default is true. So the panel that says "this screen is not built yet" was permanently visible, last in the Panel and therefore on top of the host list and the keychain both — and the terminal underneath them. The two properties are read with $parent now and the control inherits its context like every other screen. There is no x:DataType on it any more either, so a plain binding here is a compile error rather than a silently missing screen. The desktop head has the other half of this lesson written down already: MainWindow gives the terminal's IsVisible a FallbackValue precisely because an unresolved visibility binding does not hide anything, it shows everything. That note was about the previewer. This is what it looks like at runtime. Verified by reproducing the mechanism rather than by reasoning about it: a control that owns its data context ignores a parent's IsVisible binding and stays visible; one that inherits obeys it. The head builds in Debug and Release. Nothing has been run on a device, as ever — see docs/android-port.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	ffab2be22a	Drop the formatting step, which spent minutes agreeing with the build ... `dotnet format --verify-no-changes` re-analysed the whole solution before the build did, to reach a verdict the build reaches on its own: IDE0055 is an error in .editorconfig, EnforceCodeStyleInBuild is on and warnings are errors, so a misformatted file fails the build step. What the separate step bought was hearing about it a few minutes earlier, and it charged those minutes on every run. Checked rather than assumed, because the whole justification rests on it: appending a badly-spaced member to a source file produces three `error IDE0055` lines and a failed build with no format step in sight. Three places said the old arrangement out loud and would now be wrong on their own — the comment on the IDE0055 line, the conventions list in the README, and a note in platform-flags telling people to run dotnet format before pushing or CI would fail them. They say the build enforces it now. dotnet format is still how to fix what the build complains about; it just no longer gates anything.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	ddf0dd6a2b	Stop the transfer tests depending on which thread ran them first ... Every test in TransferQueueingTests failed on the Linux runner with "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it", and none of them had anything to do with the commits in that run. The class drained its rows through Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs(). That dispatcher is process-wide and belongs to whichever thread touched it first, and xunit runs each test class as its own parallel collection — so the moment a runner scheduled another class onto that thread ahead of this one, all nine died inside DispatcherOperation.Execute having asserted nothing about transfers at all. It passes locally and fails on a machine that schedules differently, which is the whole of why this took a CI run to find. TransfersViewModel now takes the poster it marshals through, defaulting to Dispatcher.UIThread.Post — the seam VaultViewModel's clipboard already is, for the same reason: a view model that reaches a process-wide UI object directly makes every test of it depend on a thread it does not choose. No head passes the parameter, so nothing about the running application changes. The test supplies a queue of its own and drains it, which is the same shape the dispatcher gave it. A poster that ran the action inline was tried first and is wrong: the transfer queue raises Changed from its pump thread as well as from the call that enqueued, so inline execution has a background thread adding rows to an ObservableCollection while the test reads it — it passed once and then failed a different test on the next run. Draining keeps every mutation on the thread doing the asserting, which is the one thing the dispatcher was providing that was worth keeping. One test added for the property that broke: queueing is reachable from any thread and must not care which. The class as a whole guards the seam — remove it and nothing drains, so every assertion about a row fails. Verified by reproducing the failure first: a throwaway probe that touched the dispatcher on one thread and posted and drained on another produced exactly the CI message. Then six consecutive Release runs of the app suite, all green, plus the layout suite, which builds a TransfersViewModel of its own.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	093f3904c1	Apply pending migrations at startup instead of asking for a second command ... The API deliberately never migrated: it failed readiness while a migration was pending and named it, and a separate step applied them. That is the right split for a deployment with a release pipeline and the wrong one for a self-hosted server, where it means an image that boots, refuses traffic, and waits for somebody to know that dotnet ef exists. The schema and the code that expects it ship in the same image, so the image is where the two are reconciled now. Before RunAsync rather than in the background. A migration racing the first requests would let them through against a half-applied schema, and the first authenticated request is the one that provisions accounts. Failing to migrate therefore fails to start, which is the loudest signal available and the one an orchestrator already acts on. Concurrent starts take a Postgres advisory lock first. Without it two replicas rolled out together read the same empty history table, both apply the same migration, and the second dies on an object that already exists — a crash loop on the day of a schema change, which is the worst day to have one. The lock is held on a connection of its own because EF opens and closes one per command, and a session lock belongs to the connection that took it. The exception is a database that does not exist yet: there is nothing to hold a lock in, so that path migrates without one and says so. Two instances creating it at once still converges — one wins, the other restarts into the ordinary locked path — and refusing to start would leave a fresh deployment stuck on the step this removes. Database:AutoMigrate turns it off for the deployments that own their schema: a migrator job, a rollout where new code must run against the old schema first, or a database user denied DDL. With it off the behaviour is exactly what it was, and the health check now explains which of the two situations a pending migration means. Verified against a throwaway PostgreSQL container: an empty database gets all seven migrations applied before the port opens, the tables land in the dodo schema, and a second start logs the schema up to date and serves. The API suite passes, which exercises the startup path once per assembly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-01 21:12:22 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	73c7e2a1e3	Point a release build at the hosted server, and a debug build at the clone ... The shipped default was http://localhost:5233, which is the address the API serves under dotnet run and a machine an installed application is not running. Somebody who installs a release and accepts the field unread is signing in to nothing. Two defaults now, because the two audiences never overlap. A release build offers https://ssh.dodotech.cloud, so a first launch needs no address typed at all. A debug build keeps the loopback address, and that half matters as much: shipping the hosted address into a clone would point every development launch at production, and sign-in is the call that provisions an account there. The remark carries the reason the schemes differ, since the pair now looks like an oversight rather than the deliberate thing it is — the API's first launch profile is plaintext on 5233, and an HTTPS client meeting a plaintext port reports a TLS failure that reads like a certificate problem. The test spells out both branches rather than asserting the constant, which would pass however it were edited. What it is really guarding is that a release never ships a developer's loopback address and a debug build never points a clone at production, and it can only guard those by naming them. Verified by running the shell suite in Debug and in Release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-01 21:12:00 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	39b7e5620f	Say which half of signing in is happening, and which half failed ... A sign-in against a production Keycloak was reported as the shell hanging on "Opening your browser to sign in…" and then, some time later, saying "The server returned 500". Both halves of that are the message's fault. The browser flow had already succeeded — the provider authenticated the user, the code came back, the tokens were exchanged — and what was actually happening was a round trip to the DodoSSH server for the account. The screen went on describing a browser nobody was waiting for. The status now moves when the browser half ends, so the wait that follows is attributed to the server being asked rather than to the browser that has already answered. The failure gets the same treatment. "The server returned 500" is the API client's phrase for any server it talks to, and read underneath a sign-in button it is naturally taken as the sign-in having failed — which sends somebody to their identity provider's logs to find out why a thing that worked did not work. It now says signing in succeeded, names the host that failed afterwards, and says the reason is in that server's logs, because this side cannot know more than that. Nothing here fixes the 500. It changes which of the two servers the next person goes and looks at, which was the actual cost of the old message. Verified against the shell suite, including the case that asserts a failed command leaves the window enabled.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	1db8bed872	Let a cancelled sign-in end the sign-in rather than the timeout ... Backing out of the login page on Android left the shell showing "Opening your browser to sign in…" with the button disabled for five minutes. Nothing was wrong except that nobody told it: the redirect callback only ever completed when an intent arrived, so a user who pressed back was waiting on OidcClient's browser timeout to expire before the flow failed and the button came back. There is no cancel event to subscribe to on this platform. Pressing back, dismissing the browser and closing a provider's error page are indistinguishable from here — the browser goes away and this application is foreground again with nothing delivered — so being resumed while a sign-in is still waiting is the signal, and the only one there is. The launcher records that a browser took the intent, OnResume fails the wait, and the guard means the resumes that have nothing to do with signing in (a launch, recents, the keystore's fingerprint prompt) go through untouched. An exception rather than a cancellation, because OidcClient reads a cancelled wait as its own timeout expiring and would report five minutes passing to somebody who waited two seconds. It cannot steal a successful sign-in either: Android delivers the redirect to OnNewIntent before resuming the activity, so the completion is already settled and the attempt does nothing. The enrollment key-binding trip through the browser is covered by the same change, since it waits on the same callback. The OnNewIntent remark had been sitting above OnResume, describing a method two below it. Moved back, since the new remark wanted the space and the old one was wrong where it was. Verified by building the head in Debug and Release. The behaviour itself is unverified for the reason docs/android-port.md gives about this whole head: nothing has been run on a device.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	08a820adcf	Stop the login step interpolating a comment I wrote in it ... The secrets were never the problem. The log shows both arriving masked, which is what a runner does with a value it holds — so the repository secrets were configured correctly the whole time, and the guidance about Actions Variables was wrong. What broke was the guard added to diagnose them. Its comment contained an expression delimiter written out literally to explain what an unset secret renders as, and a shell comment is not a comment yet at that point: the runner substitutes the whole script before any shell sees it, so it tried to evaluate an empty expression and failed the step with a parse error carrying no line number. The step never ran, and push then reached the registry with nothing to authenticate as — "no basic auth credentials", which looks precisely like the missing-secret problem the guard was added to rule out. The comment now describes the delimiter instead of containing one, and warns the next person, since the failure is invisible to review and to every local check: the file is valid YAML and the script is valid shell. Verified with a scan for empty expressions across every run block in the file — one before, none after — and by running the step's script with credentials set, which passes the guard and gets a 401 from the real registry. That is the right answer for an invented password, and it means the endpoint is reachable and the path through this step is sound.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	2bc0d4d89f	Say which credential is missing instead of letting docker guess ... The registry secrets are reportedly not arriving, and the job could not have told anybody which one or why. An unset secret is not an error anywhere upstream: ${{ }} renders a missing value as an empty string, so docker gets --username "" and replies with something about credentials — which reads as the registry rejecting a login rather than as a value that never left the settings page. Checked before use now, and reported by length rather than by value. Gitea masks known secret values in logs, but a mask is only as good as the runner's bookkeeping, and a length answers the only question actually being asked: did anything arrive at all. The message names the page to look at, and names the neighbouring one too, since Actions Variables and Actions Secrets sit next to each other and only one of them is readable through the secrets context. This does not fix the credentials. It converts a confusing failure into a specific one, so the next run distinguishes "the secret is empty here" from "the registry refused these" — two problems with nothing in common that currently look identical. Verified by running the step's script with both variables set empty, which is the reported symptom: it names both, points at the settings page and exits 1 before docker is called.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	a515a35804	Build the image with BuildKit rather than the builder Docker is retiring ... "DEPRECATED: The legacy builder is deprecated and will be removed in a future release." Not a failure — the image was built and the job carried on — but a countdown, and one the last commit walked straight into: Alpine's docker-cli package does not carry buildx, so giving the job a working client left it building the old way. Two packages instead of one now. With the plugin present `docker build` routes through BuildKit on its own, which also stops the Dockerfile's independent stages being serialised, so this is slightly faster as well as not deprecated. buildx is wanted rather than required, and the difference is deliberate. Missing it costs a warning and a slower build; the image is still correct. So each install branch ends in `|| true` and the check afterwards reports instead of exiting — a distribution with no package for it should not be able to turn a release into a red build over a plugin. The comment above the build step said this job needed "no buildx plugin", which was true when the build was the only thing being weighed and is not true now. It says what is actually wanted, and what is still not: no QEMU, no builder instance to create and tear down, no third-party action to re-pin. Verified in Alpine containers with the socket mounted, in all three states this can be in: nothing installed, the client present and buildx missing — which is exactly what produced the warning — and buildx unavailable with no package manager to fix it, which warns and exits 0. The API image builds through BuildKit with no deprecation notice. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-01 15:19:19 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	5ddbca49d3	Give the image job a docker client to go with the daemon it already had ... Exit 127, `docker: command not found`, from the build step of the image job. The daemon was never the problem and never missing: Testcontainers speaks to /var/run/docker.sock from a .NET library, so every integration suite in the build job had been starting PostgreSQL, Keycloak and an sshd on this runner while `docker` was not a command on it at all. Having a socket and having a client are two different things to have, and this runner had one. It failed late for the same reason it was easy to miss. Node, git, the SDK and the tags all came up fine, so the job looked healthy right until the line that actually needed the binary. The client only. There is a daemon answering on that socket already — installing an engine would start a second one beside the one in use, which is a worse outcome than the error. Verified by running this step's own script in an Alpine container with the socket mounted: it installs docker-cli, the client then reports server 29.6.2 across the socket, and the API image builds to completion from inside that container with the repository as its context. Which is as close to the runner as this can be checked without being it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-01 15:14:28 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	338c1a8647	Move the plaintext exemption out of the test body it made too long ... MA0051: TheWholeSlice reached 68 lines against a limit of 60, because the last commit put a nine-line paragraph and a five-line call in the middle of it. dotnet format --verify-no-changes runs the analysers, so the build stopped there and never reached the two fixes that paragraph was explaining. The explanation was worth keeping and the place was wrong. It is a fact about one call, not about the slice, and this file already keeps its steps in named methods under a "Steps" heading. SignInToTheStackAsync now holds both, which leaves the test body reading as the sequence it is meant to be — sign in, enroll, unlock, write, read elsewhere — rather than a sequence with an essay in it. Nothing about the behaviour changed: same call, same configureOidc, same exemption claimed by the same single caller that starts the provider it is talking to. I should also say how this reached CI, since the answer is not that it was hard to catch. I ran the format gate locally before the last push and read the exit code of a pipeline it was piped into rather than the tool's own, so a failing command reported as passing. Run again against the tool's exit status it is 0, and the end-to-end suite still passes in the Alpine container that reproduces the runner.
