jaap-jan dbddbcd711 Hand the terminal the keyboard on connect, and take it back on lock
After a successful connect the first keystrokes went to the shell's UI rather
than the remote shell. The page's own term.focus() focuses the textarea inside
the document, which does nothing while the window's keyboard focus is still on
the Connect button, so the terminal had to be clicked before it would accept
anything.

The obvious guess about the fix — that reaching a native child window needs
SetFocus through P/Invoke — is backwards, and measuring it first is what kept
this small. NativeWebView overrides Focusable to true and its OnGotFocus calls
the adapter's Focus(), which on Windows is
ICoreWebView2Controller::MoveFocus(PROGRAMMATIC). So a plain Avalonia
Terminal.Focus() really does move Win32 focus into WebView2. Measured in a
standalone harness with no DodoSSH code, on the same 340,* grid as the shell,
reporting GetFocus() and the page's own document.hasFocus() at each step: focus
lands on the Chrome_WidgetWin_1 child and the page reports hasFocus: true.

It is the return trip the package does not implement. OnLostFocus calls the
adapter's ResignFocus(), and on Windows that method body is empty, so Avalonia's
focus and Win32's diverge: after textBox.Focus() the focused element is the text
box while the keyboard is still on WebView2 — a caret that silently receives
nothing. Window.Activate() and Window.Focus() were both measured and neither
recovers it, so the hand-back is a SetFocus on the top-level, in
Views/NativeKeyboardFocus.cs. A real mouse click does recover it, because
Avalonia's window sets focus on pointer input, which is why this is invisible to
anyone who clicks before typing.

That turned up a worse defect than the one being fixed, and it shipped in
0500e43. Collapsing the WebView does not release the keyboard: focus stays on
the hidden holder — measured held by a window reporting visible=False — while
Avalonia's focused element becomes (none). So a user who had clicked the
terminal and then pressed Lock got an unlock screen that swallowed the
passphrase. Locking now hands the keyboard back and focuses that box.

Ctrl+Shift+F6 is the way out for someone using only a keyboard. It has to be
handled in terminal.js and posted to the host as a web message, because once the
child window owns Win32 focus Avalonia receives no key events and no KeyBinding
could fire; the package also subscribes MoveFocusRequested and discards it, so
there is no Tab-out to lean on. Not Escape, which vim alone rules out, and not a
bare F6, which TUIs bind — Ctrl+Shift is the range terminal emulators
conventionally keep for themselves and never forward to the remote. Verified
rather than assumed: the posted string arrives verbatim in Body, and the chord
reaches the page as F6 with both modifiers.

Order matters and is now recorded. Focus() on a collapsed control is a measured
no-op and is not replayed when it is revealed, so focus survives a lock/unlock
cycle only because a session can be opened solely from an unlocked vault, which
is what reveals the control in the first place.

The view models still reference no view. VaultViewModel raises SessionOpened on
the success path only, the shell forwards it as TerminalSessionOpened through the
generated OnVaultChanged hook so unlock, lock and dispose all attach and detach
in one place, and the view holds the whole focus policy. An event rather than a
bound flag because connecting a second host while one is open has to move focus
again, and no state change describes that.

Three tests, and what they do not cover is the point. They cover the plumbing:
focus is asked for once per session, a failed connect does not ask at all — a
host-key prompt needs the keyboard on its own buttons — and locking stops the
forwarding. They cannot cover the focus call, because headless Avalonia has no
native window, so a headless test would focus correctly and confirm the wrong
belief; that is measured in the harness and written down in docs instead.
Dropping the forwarding fails two of them and dropping the detach fails one;
deleting the raise outright does not compile, since the event would be unused.

Reaching the connect path at all needed two new fakes. FakeRenderer attaches the
way the real page does — fetch the served page, read back the token and socket
URL the host substituted into it, then open the socket with both subprotocols —
rather than being handed the token, so the part of the handshake that has been
got wrong before stays under test. FakeSsh replaces a factory that would need a
reachable sshd, which DodoSSH.Client.Ssh.Tests already covers against a
container. The suite also never called workspace.Start(), so nothing served the
page and no renderer could have attached.

DllImport rather than the source-generated LibraryImport, which requires
AllowUnsafeBlocks for the whole project. The signature is blittable so there is
no marshalling stub to improve on, and turning unsafe code on across a client
that handles key material to gain nothing is a poor trade.

Correcting an earlier entry: docs/platform-flags.md described this as a
focus-plumbing gap and offered "click inside the terminal first" as the
workaround. Both true, and both stop short of the half that matters — focus
crosses into the WebView readily and never comes back on its own, which is the
same mechanism as the text boxes that mysteriously stopped accepting keystrokes
in the airspace entry above it, not a separate fault.

jaap-jan ea271d980a Give the realm's users their roles, and sign in as one in the E2E suite
Signing in failed at the token exchange with `400 Offline tokens not allowed
for the user or client`. A user declared in a realm import gets no role
mappings at all unless realmRoles lists them — not even the realm's own
default-roles composite, which Keycloak grants automatically to a user created
through the admin API or the registration form. alice and bob had none, and
offline_access lives inside that composite, which the desktop client requests.
Verified against the running Keycloak: alice's role-mappings were {} before and
resolve to default-roles-dodossh, offline_access, uma_authorization after.

The authorization request succeeds and the failure lands one step later, at the
code redemption, which makes it read like a client bug. It is not.

The E2E suite could not catch this because it created its own account through
the admin API — exercising a provisioning path no real user takes, and passing
while the account the README tells you to use could not sign in at all. It now
signs in as the realm's own alice, which is sound because the Keycloak and
PostgreSQL containers are per-run so the account is pristine, and this assembly
holds one test. Removing the roles again fails it with exactly the reported
message; that is what makes the coverage real rather than nominal.

Two traps recorded in docs/platform-flags.md, the second found by shipping it
for a moment: Keycloak's RealmRepresentation deserialises with
FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES enabled, so the "_comment" key I first used to
explain the roles inside the JSON did not get ignored — the import threw and
the container refused to start. Explanations go in the docs, not in the realm
file.

jaap-jan f80b3d4351 Harden the WebView collapse, and replace its evidence with a measurement
An adversarial review of 0500e43 did not refute the fix but closed the gap I
had left open and found three hazards around it. A standalone spike — a 60-line
Avalonia app with no DodoSSH code — reproduces the airspace bug on a 340,* grid,
and a second harness mirroring the data plane's handshake measures what I had
only reasoned about: with IsVisible=false set before the window is ever shown,
the adapter is created, the page is fetched and the WebSocket 101 is sent, with
frames arriving over the socket while hidden. A cold WebView2 profile behaves
the same. Revealing recomputes bounds in about 7 ms.

So the docs no longer cite "35 msedgewebview2 processes" as the confirmation
that the renderer attaches. A process count cannot show that a socket was
accepted — the same shape of mistake, one level down, as the one that entry was
already correcting. It now cites the handshake, quotes Avalonia's maintainer on
airspace being by design, and links the still-open upstream issue.

Three changes to the fix itself:

- terminal.js skips the fit below 40px in either axis. The vendored fit addon
  floors its proposal at 2 columns by 1 row rather than refusing, so a
  degenerate viewport reflows the *remote* pty through window-change and
  mangles wrapped scrollback unrecoverably. Reachable today by minimising, and
  by dragging a splitter to the edge once splits land — a guard where the sizes
  arrive, not a special case for one caller.
- FallbackValue=False on the binding. A compiled binding with no DataContext
  yields UnsetValue, IsVisible falls back to true, and the occlusion returns
  silently. Not reachable at runtime; it is what the previewer does.
- The comment now says why it must be IsVisible on this control: detaching
  destroys the native control and the whole WebView2 process tree, so
  conditional content would pay a cold start per unlock, and hoisting the
  binding to an ancestor is unverified because NativeWebView's own
  bounds-and-scaling re-push fires only for its own IsVisible.

Also recorded, not fixed: hiding does not suspend the page (visibilityState
stays "visible" and rAF keeps firing at ~115/s, which is *why* the handshake
completes while hidden); the conflict log can squeeze the terminal row toward
nothing; and nothing hands the terminal Win32 focus after Connect, so the first
keystrokes go to the shell's UI rather than the remote shell.

jaap-jan 7226e70b8a Record that a sub-path server URL is silently dropped
Found while sweeping for the stale default. The client uses the typed address
only as HttpClient.BaseAddress and every request path is root-absolute, so
https://example.test/dodossh reaches https://example.test/api/v1/... with the
prefix discarded and no error — which rules out hosting under a sub-path, the
usual arrangement behind a proxy fronting several services. The server
already publishes a canonical apiBaseUrl the client could normalise against
and ignores.

Recorded rather than fixed: it is a deployment-shape decision, not a bug in
the screen that prompted this.

jaap-jan 0500e43e02 Stop the terminal's WebView painting over the setup screens
The shell layered its setup and unlock screens over the terminal, which does
not work: NativeWebView attaches a real Win32 child HWND through
NativeControlHost, and a child window composites above everything its parent
paints regardless of visual-tree z-order. The cards rendered sliced at the
terminal column's left edge; at the window's default width every one of their
buttons fell inside the WebView's rectangle, so the flow could only be
completed by keyboard, and a click in that region handed Win32 focus to
WebView2 so the text boxes silently stopped accepting keystrokes.

The WebView is now collapsed while the vault is not unlocked. The comment
that previously forbade this — hiding it means never realising it — was
wrong: NativeControlHost creates the native attachment on attach to the
visual tree, never consulting layout or visibility, and NativeWebView replays
a Source assigned before its adapter exists. A collapsed WebView still starts
WebView2, loads the page and lets the renderer attach. Confirmed: 35
msedgewebview2 processes with the control collapsed. What the first
connection after unlocking actually depends on is the existing await on
WaitForRendererAsync, since the data plane drops frames when no renderer is
attached.

Also fixes the second visible defect: the default server URL was
https://localhost:7217, the API's *second* launch profile, while the README,
its appsettings and a plain `dotnet run` all use http://localhost:5233 — so
nothing was listening, and an HTTPS client against a plaintext port reports
"The SSL connection could not be established", which reads as a certificate
problem. The default now matches, a missing scheme is rejected by name
instead of parsing as scheme "localhost", and that specific TLS failure now
suggests http://. Both new tests fail when the fixes are reverted.

Corrections to claims I made earlier and should not have:

- docs/platform-flags.md asserted the opposite of the mechanism above and
  cited an established msedgewebview2 connection as verification. That
  observation was taken while the overlay was showing but, because of this
  very bug, the WebView was uncovered and in plain view — so it confirmed
  only that a visible WebView is realised. A process-level check cannot
  verify a rendering claim. The entry was also filed under "Local cache".
- ITerminalHost was documented as the live seam the app plugs into, with a
  stub standing in for headless tests. It has no implementation anywhere and
  no test uses it; the view navigates the control directly. It also counted
  Avalonia.Controls.WebView and NativeWebView as two interchangeable
  backends when they are one component, with the Linux backend backwards.
- The README claimed the shell's whole path was covered by tests. Its state
  machine is; its layout is covered by nothing, and a headless test could
  not have caught this — headless has no native window, so it would have
  rendered correctly and confirmed the wrong belief.

Verified by screenshotting the running app: the card renders complete and
centred at the default size, with the button clickable.

jaap-jan 34304b989b Make the end-to-end suite self-contained with Testcontainers
It needed a hand-started stack and an opt-in flag, so it ran on one machine
and never in CI. It now brings up PostgreSQL, Keycloak and an OpenSSH server
itself, applies the committed migrations and starts the API as a child
process, which makes it part of the ordinary test run at ~25s.

The API runs as a process rather than through WebApplicationFactory. The
client builds its own HttpClient for a URL the user typed, so there is no
seam to hand a test handler through without inventing one that exists only
for tests — and a test host would replace the entry point, Kestrel and the
content root, so it would never prove that Program.cs composes or that the
committed appsettings is found and layered in the documented order. Running
out of the API's own output directory is what makes its configuration real.

The suite still consumes what ships: the realm file from deploy/keycloak,
the EF migrations, the API's own appsettings. Only Oidc:Authority is
overridden, because the container's port is assigned at start. Falsified by
reintroducing the wildcard-port redirect URI the realm once had — Keycloak
rejects the authorization request and the suite fails at sign-in, which is
what proves the committed file is the one imported. Skipping the migration
step likewise fails, and the failure names the pending migration.

A fresh Keycloak per run also sidesteps the --import-realm trap: editing the
realm file and rerunning now always tests the edit.

DodoDbContextFactory gains a Create(connectionString) so the fixture and
dotnet ef place the migrations history table in exactly one place. If they
disagreed the API would report every migration pending, which is how the
readiness gate catches it.

jaap-jan 1d262b7ccc Run M1's end-to-end slice, and fix the two bugs it found
The whole vertical slice now runs against a real Keycloak, a real API, a
real PostgreSQL and a real sshd: sign in through the browser flow, enroll
with the identity-provider key binding, unlock, create a host, sync it,
read it back on a second machine, unlock again with no network, accept an
unseen host key, and open an interactive shell. Opt-in, because it needs
the development stack; skipped with a message naming the commands.

It found two bugs on its first run, and both are the same class: two
sides of a stub agreeing with each other about something the
specification never said.

**The API never applied DodoSshJsonContext to its HTTP JSON options.**
Minimal APIs therefore used the framework's web defaults, which write an
enum as a number. Every request DTO carrying one failed to bind against a
client writing the specified string form — which is the entire sync
surface, unreachable from the real client, with a 400 naming only the
parameter. The documented guarantee that request bodies reject unmapped
members was likewise not in effect anywhere.

Nothing caught it because the API tests posted with PostAsJsonAsync's
defaults, so they and the server had independently settled on integers.
Those tests now serialise through the contract, which is the deeper fix:
removing the new configuration fails 13 of them. Copying settings into
options a host owns is itself the hazard the context warns about, so
ApplyTo lives beside the settings it mirrors and ApplyToTests pins the
transformation, including that inserting the resolver leaves the caller's
own in place.

**The realm registered a loopback redirect URI Keycloak rejects.**
`http://127.0.0.1:*/callback` looks more explicit than the RFC 8252 form
and is broken: Keycloak's wildcards are trailing-only, so the `*` parses
as a literal port and every authorization request came back "Invalid
parameter: redirect_uri". Providers ignore the port for loopback hosts,
which is the whole mechanism, so the correct registration is
`http://127.0.0.1/callback` — path pinned, port free. The value the
server advertises through the discovery document said the same wrong
thing and now says the right one.

Two smaller things, both documented in docs/platform-flags.md:

- --import-realm skips a realm that already exists, so editing the realm
  file and restarting Keycloak changes nothing and serves stale
  configuration. The container has to be recreated. The compose comment
  claimed the opposite.
- Keycloak marks its session cookies Secure even over plain HTTP, because
  SameSite=None requires it. A spec-conformant client drops them and the
  login POST answers 400 with no message; browsers complete the flow only
  because they exempt loopback. Harmless for the product, fatal for
  automation, so ScriptedBrowser carries the cookies by hand and says why.

Also: the server enforces a 64 MiB floor on the passphrase KDF, so this
suite cannot use the 8 MiB profile the other client suites take for
speed. Those only get away with it because their in-memory servers have
no policy — worth knowing rather than rediscovering.

638 tests. The solution-wide run stays green with the stack down: exit
code 8 means "no tests ran", which the platform reports as failure, so
the opt-in project ignores exactly that code.

jaap-jan 49f617b450 Wire the Avalonia shell to the vault
The host list now comes from the vault instead of from a form. A fresh
machine takes a server URL, signs in through the browser, enrolls, and
from then on opens with the passphrase alone.

DodoSSH.Client.Session is the composition layer: where a profile lives,
how it unlocks, and how a machine gets one. ClientPaths picks a
non-roaming per-OS directory — %LOCALAPPDATA% and never %APPDATA%,
because a SQLite cache that roams between two machines is a corrupt one,
and each machine's outbox is its own. SessionOpener needs no transport at
all and could not reach one if it wanted to; that is the offline unlock,
asserted rather than asserted about. A wrong passphrase, a stale KDF and a
grant revoked by a rekey are three different answers, because the remedies
are three different things and telling someone to retype a passphrase that
was never the problem is worse than saying nothing.

The shell's states are the onboarding story. The recovery code gets its
own state that cannot be clicked past: it exists for one moment, losing it
with the passphrase loses the vault, and there is no server-side reset by
design. It is dropped from memory on confirmation rather than merely
hidden.

Sign-in is a delegate over IVaultServer, so the whole state machine runs
in a test against an in-memory server — no browser, no identity provider,
no toolkit. The view models are plain observable objects, which is what
makes that possible. What it does not cover is whether the XAML binds to
the right names; that needs a rendered tree and Avalonia.Headless, and is
its own piece of work.

Three things found by doing it rather than by reading it:

- Pooled SQLite connections keep the database file open after the last
  context is disposed. On Windows that means locked, so the application
  could never replace its own cache — and a test could not clean up after
  itself, which is how it surfaced. Dispose now clears the pool.
- EF's SQLite provider puts the database in WAL mode, so the cache is
  three files. A comment in ClientCacheFactory claimed the opposite;
  reading PRAGMA journal_mode off a real launch settled it. WAL is the
  right mode here — a sync pass writes while the interface reads — so the
  comment was wrong on the merits as well as on the fact.
- Enrolling a device key with nowhere to keep the private half would put a
  wrap on the server nobody can open and make the device list claim this
  machine can unlock without a passphrase. Device binding is now optional
  and the shell declines it until the OS keystore is wired.

Verified on Windows: the client created %LOCALAPPDATA%\DodoSSH\cache.db
and migrated it on first launch, and msedgewebview2 held an established
connection to the data plane while the unlock overlay covered it — which
is the point of covering the WebView rather than collapsing it, since a
NativeWebView that is never laid out is never realised.

630 tests, up from 593. The recovery-code gate and the offline unlock were
each verified by breaking them and watching the right test fail.

Still to do for M1's actual definition of done: the manual run against the
real API and a real Keycloak. Credentials are not a synced entity type
yet, so a connection still asks for a password, and the interface says so
rather than implying otherwise.

jaap-jan 8d2416a602 Add the encrypted local cache and the sync client
Three new client projects, and the wire-contract fix they needed.

DodoSSH.Client.Domain holds the decrypted item model and the three-way
merge, with no I/O at all — so the suite that decides whether a
credential can be lost runs in milliseconds with nothing to mock.
Scalars defer to the server on a genuine clash so every replica resolves
the same triple identically and two clients cannot ping-pong; directives
merge per name so two people each adding one both keep theirs; the jump
chain merges as a whole value because its order is the route. Whatever
loses is returned rather than dropped.

DodoSSH.Client.Storage is EF Core on SQLite, no SQLCipher: the rows are
already ciphertext, so an encrypted file would protect protected bytes
at the cost of a native dependency. It keeps the server's state and the
outbox in separate tables, which is what preserves the common ancestor a
merge needs. One pending operation per item, enforced by a unique index.

DodoSSH.Client.Sync is the pull/apply/push loop. Pulling never decrypts
— a change with no local work pending is plumbed as ciphertext — so a
first sync of thousands of items does not run twice as many AEAD
operations for nothing.

Contracts: EncryptedPayload gains WrappedDataKey and DataKeyId. The
specification has required a per-item data key since crypto.md §3, the
columns have existed since the first migration and DshAad.ItemPayload
binds the id, but this record had nowhere to put either — so a
spec-compliant item could not be transmitted at all. Found by writing
the client that has to produce one. Also closes a hole in
AadResourceType, which had no value for the HostTag and HostCredential
that SyncEntityType has always listed.

Four bugs the tests found, not review:

- SQLite refuses to order or compare its own DateTimeOffset mapping, and
  throws at execution rather than model build. Collecting tombstones and
  listing conflicts are both that shape, so this was a crash waiting for
  the first user with a deleted host. Timestamps are integers now, by
  convention so a later field cannot be the one left unconverted.
- SQLitePCLRaw 2.1.11, which EF resolves, is covered by
  GHSA-2m69-gcr7-jv3q. Pinned forward as a family.
- Resurrecting content from a remote deletion cleared the original
  before queueing the copy. Two transactions, so a crash between them
  lost the work; reversed, and the rescued id is derived from the
  tombstone so a replay coalesces instead of duplicating.
- Several equality assertions went through Shouldly's ShouldBe, which
  compares IEnumerable element-wise and so tested nothing about the
  Equals these types exist to provide. Corrected; the falsification that
  caught it went from 2 failures to 6.

The push response's cursor is deliberately ignored. It sits after this
client's own writes, so adopting it skips anything another client
committed at a lower sequence in the window between a pull and a push —
permanently. Re-reading one's own writes is idempotent and costs a page.
The Contracts doc that invited the shortcut now says so.

593 tests, up from 448. The delete-versus-edit rules, the ancestor
retention, the fresh operation id on coalesce and the cursor safeguard
were each verified by breaking them and watching the right test fail.
2026-07-29 10:27:37 +02:00
jaap-jan 5fccd53824 Add the Avalonia app and the xterm renderer, and fix two real bugs
The terminal works end to end. A new integration test drives a real sshd in
a container through a real PTY, the real pump, the real loopback WebSocket
with its token and origin checks, and a ClientWebSocket standing in for the
page: the login banner arrives, typed input round-trips, and `stty size`
reports the 100x30 the session asked for. The only untested link left is
xterm drawing bytes it was handed.

The WebView is de-risked on Windows, which was the plan's largest risk. Not
by assertion: with the app running there is an established TCP connection
from msedgewebview2 to the data plane port, so WebView2 launched, navigated
to the loopback page, executed terminal.js, and completed the WebSocket
handshake against the real token and origin checks. Linux remains unproven
and the package's own release notes now corroborate the concern -- Linux uses
a WPE backend, and it ships a NativeWebDialog described as useful where
embedded WebViews may be unavailable.

Two bugs found by building it, both of which would have shipped:

- ShellStream.Write buffers and needs an explicit Flush. Without one a
  keystroke is accepted, reported as written, and never reaches the remote:
  the terminal displays output perfectly and simply stops responding to
  input. SSH.NET's own WriteLine flushes, which is why the earlier spike
  never hit it. Found by isolating the pump against real SSH and reading
  BytesRead=51 -- banner and prompt through, nothing after.
- The Windows app manifest needs a supportedOS list, or Avalonia's native
  control host fails outright and the terminal never starts.

Also fixed a genuinely flaky test I happened to catch: SyncCursorTests
tampered with the *last* base64url character, whose low bits the decoder
ignores when the input length is not a multiple of three -- so a tampered
cursor sometimes decoded to identical bytes and verified. It failed roughly
one run in thirty, depending on a random key. Now tampers the penultimate
character, which is fully significant at every length; 40 consecutive runs
are clean.

xterm 6.0.0 plus the fit and webgl addons are vendored as UMD bundles rather
than built with npm, so a clean clone needs only the .NET SDK. Provenance
and licences are recorded next to them, along with the UMD global names
terminal.js depends on -- a bundle that switched to ES modules would load
without error and leave Terminal undefined.

The renderer acknowledges output from term.write's completion callback, not
on receipt. Acknowledging early would return flow-control credit for bytes
the screen has not caught up with, which is the one thing the credit window
exists to measure.

TerminalWorkspace moved into DodoSSH.Client.Terminal: it has no Avalonia
dependency, and having it there is what let the end-to-end test exist at all.

404 tests pass, zero warnings on a clean rebuild, format clean.
2026-07-28 22:30:42 +02:00
jaap-jan 94f66be5e8 Add the OIDC client: PKCE loopback sign-in and the key binding flow
Authorization Code with PKCE on a loopback redirect, per RFC 6749, RFC 7636
and RFC 8252. Zero package references: the flow is fully specified, and the
one thing a library would own for us -- nonce generation and validation -- is
exactly what the key binding needs to control. Duende's OidcClient generates
and validates its own nonce as an internal detail, and the binding requires
the nonce be a specific value: the hash of the key statement being enrolled.
Fighting that is worse than owning the flow.

AuthorizeKeyBindingAsync is the client half of the primary trust anchor. It
runs a second authorization with nonce set to the statement hash and
prompt=login, so the ID token that returns is the provider's signature over
exactly those public keys, attesting to a user present now rather than to a
session opened at some unknown earlier time. It requests only openid -- a
second refresh token would be one more long-lived credential for no benefit
-- and rejects a token whose nonce is not the one it asked for, because
enrolling that would store evidence verifying against keys we are not
publishing.

The nonce is read without validating the ID token's signature. Sanctioned by
OIDC Core 3.1.3.7: for a token received by direct communication with the
token endpoint, TLS server authentication may stand in for signature
checking. That reasoning does not extend to another user's binding, which
arrives via the DodoSSH server and must be verified against JWKS fetched
directly -- the directory work in M3.

Raw TcpListener rather than HttpListener for the redirect: an ephemeral port
can be bound and read atomically instead of picking one and hoping it is
still free, there is no HTTP.SYS URL-ACL question on Windows, and the whole
surface is one request line. It answers 404 on other paths and keeps
waiting, because a browser asks for /favicon.ico first and treating that as
the callback would abort every sign-in. 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost: RFC
8252 permits either, but the name resolves through the hosts file.

20 tests, driving the real listener over TCP with a fake browser that
actually fetches the redirect -- injecting a fabricated callback would skip
the parsing, path filtering and response writing that can break. Mostly
negative, because the loopback port is reachable by every local process: a
response with the wrong state is rejected *and* never reaches the token
endpoint, metadata declaring an issuer other than its own authority is
rejected (RFC 8414 3.3, without which a mix-up attack works), a provider
offering only 'plain' is fatal rather than a silent downgrade, and the
verifier sent is checked against the challenge advertised so PKCE is not
theatre that only fails in production.

Two bugs caught by writing the tests: the authorize URL builder dropped
client_id entirely after a refactor, and CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter
has no TimeProvider overload -- so the browser timeout is now constructed
with the clock and a test can advance it instead of waiting five minutes.

jaap-jan 885fb17bdc Clear the SSH gate: window-change reaches the remote, and licence as MIT
Licence is MIT, set solution-wide rather than only on the packable project:
DodoSSH.Contracts is published so clients can build against it, and a
package with no licence expression is one a corporate policy scanner
rejects outright.

The SSH.NET spike is the M1 client gate and it passes. SSH.NET 2025.1.0
exposes ShellStream.ChangeWindowSize, but a method existing is not the
remote observing it, so the tests read `stty size` back from a real sshd
after resizing rather than asserting the call did not throw. Repeated
resizes each take effect too, which matters because dragging a window edge
produces a stream of them. The IChannelSession fallback is not needed.

Also verified against a real sshd: password and public-key auth, that the
host key arrives as a raw blob we can fingerprint ourselves rather than
reading SSH.NET's MD5 property, and that refusing the key via CanTrust
actually aborts the connection -- without which the TOFU dialog would be
decoration.

Kept as a permanent suite, not deleted after the spike. An upgrade that
silently stopped sending the request would present as wrapped output only
after a resize, which is easy to misattribute to the terminal emulator.

Two bugs in the test itself, both worth naming because either would have
been read as "resize does not work":

- A PTY emits CRLF, and the anchored regex rejected the CR. The output
  visibly contained `24 80` while the match failed.
- Each read can begin with output still buffered from the previous command,
  including its size line. Taking the first match would have reported the
  pre-resize size.

platform-flags.md now records window-change as resolved rather than
unverified -- a stale flag is worse than none -- plus the three real SSH.NET
limits found on the way: ShellStream does not override ReadAsync so every
idle session parks a pool thread, one connection cannot serve both
SshClient and SftpClient, and agent forwarding needs an upstream change.

Development and testing are Windows-only, so anything unverified elsewhere
needs to be written down or it gets assumed to work. Several of these have
already cost time once: PostgreSQL 18 moving its data directory silently
gives a carried-over compose file an empty volume, and a loopback-bound
Tomcat beat Docker's 0.0.0.0 publish for `localhost`, making every Keycloak
realm 404 while the container looked healthy.

The largest entry is the Avalonia WebView on Linux, which remains the
biggest risk in the plan and is why the terminal sits behind ITerminalHost.

Also records two things this milestone deliberately left undone -- no rate
limiting on the enrollment and sync write paths until M2, and /me not
touching last_seen_at_utc -- so neither reads later as an oversight.
