jaap-jan 95816de0c5 Share a vault with a team, without the server holding a key
M3's teams, sharing and ACLs. Teams with roles, a public-key directory, the
append-only key log served for clients to check it against, team-owned vaults,
and vault key grants wrapped by a client and stored opaquely by the server.
VaultAccessService resolves team membership to PermissionFlags, so a viewer may
pull and may not push; the desktop client reads and syncs every vault it holds
a key for, and a real TEAMS screen replaces the one that said it did not exist.
No migration: team, team_membership, vault.team_id and vault_key_grant have all
been there since the first one, which is what carrying two unused tables bought.

Membership is authorisation. A grant is access. The obvious model is one
concept — "access", with a role attached, handed out by the server — and this
architecture cannot implement it: a vault key is sealed to each member's X25519
key, and only a client holding the plaintext can seal it for somebody else. So
"give Bob access" decomposes into a database write and a wrap, which happen on
different machines. Adding a member makes the server serve them the vault; it
cannot make it readable. VaultSummary.WrappedVaultKey is null in the meantime
and the vault appears in their list saying it is waiting for a key, because
hiding it until a grant existed would have been tidier and would have implied
the server was the thing granting access. The screen says the same thing after
every add, in the status line. ADR 0009 records the whole decision.

Sharing verifies or refuses. A directory lookup is a claim by the server about
a third party's public key, and wrapping to an unverified claim hands the vault
to whoever made it — no amount of transport security helps, because the server
is inside the threat model. KeyLogAudit reads the whole log, recomputes every
entry's hash from its own contents, checks the chain from genesis, and refuses
unless the offered key appears in it unchanged. There is no override flag: one
that exists gets used on the day the log is briefly unreachable, and the
resulting grant is indistinguishable from a correct one afterwards. What it
still cannot promise is that the key is the right person's, so the fingerprint
comes back for an out-of-band comparison and the success message says so every
time. A test corrupts the fake server's log by one byte and watches the client
refuse rather than warn.

The roles are only the ones that are enforceable. There is no ConnectOnly,
despite the design asking for one and TeamRole having room: SSH terminates on
the client, so a session needs the credential's plaintext on that machine, and
"may connect but may not read the key" cannot be enforced here. Shipping it as
an option in a dropdown would have been a lie. Connect rides along with Read
and is documented as an interface hint. Removal is named for what it does — it
revokes grants and flags the vault for rekey, and claims nothing about what is
already on somebody's laptop.

Three things are deliberately absent, and each is a refusal rather than an
omission. The rekey itself, because re-wrapping every item's data key under a
new vault key needs a client holding the current one; the server records that a
rotation is owed and the interface reports it, which is more honest than a
button that only appears to do it. Ownership transfer, because allowing an
owner to be removed without one leaves a team nobody can administer. And
cross-vault host key trust: a pin in a team vault is listed but not consulted
at connect time, because any member with Write could otherwise pre-approve a
fingerprint another member's client then trusts silently for a host in their
own vault. Scoping trust properly needs a scope on the SSH connect path, which
IKnownHostStore has not got; until then the narrow direction is the safe one
and the cost is in the README rather than hidden.

Reading now spans vaults and writing still does not. Every list on the vault
and hosts screens covers each vault the keyring opened, rows carry the vault
they came from, and an edit goes back to that vault rather than to the active
one — writing it to the active vault would fork the item and only show up when
a colleague wondered why their change never arrived. A new item goes wherever a
picker says, defaulting to the personal vault and never moving on its own,
because an item filed into a team's vault is visible to that team and moving it
back means deleting and retyping. The sidebar heading stops naming one vault
once there are two, and each row names its own.

The server checks what it can and nothing it cannot. It will not record a grant
for a key its recipient no longer holds, for a superseded generation, or for
somebody who is not in the team — each of those would otherwise surface days
later at the far end as a tag failure indistinguishable from corruption. It
does not verify the wrap or the signature, and the grant service says so: that
would be a convenience and never the boundary, and would put an asymmetric
implementation on a machine that is supposed to hold no keys.

Two bugs the tests found. TeamsViewModel's busy gate blocked its own reload, so
a team created a moment earlier was missing from the list it had just been
added to. And syncing every vault turned a failure from an exception into a
report, which made a background pass announce an unreachable vault once a
minute — the exact behaviour AnAutomaticPassThatFails_LeavesTheStatusAlone
exists to prevent. The fact is recorded and the message swallowed, as it was
before; pressing Sync still names the vault and the reason.

Also fixes a build break this branch started with: QuickConnectTests was never
updated when M2 added ISftpSessionFactory to the shell's constructor, so
nothing built at all.

jaap-jan 04faef6597 Move files to and from a host over SFTP
M2's file transfer, built bottom-up: an SFTP session on the SSH layer, a
transfer queue in a project of its own, and the two-pane browser the design
asked for replacing the screen that said it did not exist. Remote listings
carry names, sizes, modification times and a real drwxr-xr-x — nothing in this
repository could render a POSIX mode before — and the queue moves one file at a
time with progress, throughput and resume.

The design import assumed this would be an SFTP subsystem channel on
ISshConnection, beside the shell on a transport that is already up. SSH.NET
does not offer that: SftpClient derives from BaseClient and owns its own
transport, and there is no supported way to hand it an SshClient's session. So
file transfer opens a second authenticated connection, and it is named for
that rather than dressed up as a channel — OpenSftpAsync is on
ISftpSessionFactory, not on a connection. The difference is visible to a user:
the host records a second login, and a host whose password is typed each time
asks for it again on this screen. It goes through the same host key gate, the
same pin and the same two refusals a shell does, so a fingerprint approved for
a terminal is approved here and one approved here reaches the other machines
with the next sync. docs/design-import-gaps.md is corrected, and marked as the
one row where what shipped differs from what it predicted.

Nothing is written at its final name until it is complete. Every transfer goes
to a .dodossh-part file beside its destination and is renamed into place at the
end, so an interrupted transfer can never be mistaken for a finished one —
which matters most for what this screen is actually for, which is copying a
build artefact onto a server and then running it. A destination that already
exists is refused outright rather than overwritten: the queue has no way to
ask, and silently replacing a file somebody's process is serving is the worse
of the two failures. The remote pane has DELETE and MKDIR so that refusal is
not a dead end. A test against the container pins the assumption underneath all
of this — that SFTP's rename does not clobber.

Resume works within a run of the application and not across a restart, and the
limit is deliberate rather than unfinished. Nothing records which source wrote
a part file, and resuming one on the strength of its name matching is how a
corrupt artefact gets delivered with nothing reporting a failure; a part file
found at startup is started over. Making it survive a restart needs the
preferences store this client still has not got. The offset a resume starts at
is the part file's own length rather than the transfer's recorded progress: a
cancellation can land between a write completing and the counter moving, and
only one of those two is a fact about the bytes that are there.

The queue and its connection outlive a lock, as shells do. LockAsync already
argues that locking must not destroy work in flight — it is what somebody does
when they walk away from the machine, which is exactly when a long transfer is
most likely to be running — so TransfersViewModel is created once and the vault
is attached on unlock and detached on lock. What locking takes is the host
list, and it has to: those rows carry decrypted secrets.

DodoSSH.Client.Transfer is a new project rather than more of Client.Ssh. The
two answer different questions — one is about reaching a host, the other about
moving bytes and what to do when moving them stops halfway — and this is the
only client project that deliberately touches the local filesystem.

Three defects the tests found, none of which review would have. SftpPath.Name
answered an empty string for the root. NavigateRemoteAsync wrapped itself in
the busy guard, so navigating from inside another command did nothing at all
and the remote pane simply stayed empty after connecting, with no failure
anywhere to explain it. And opening an SFTP session per test made two
handshakes per test — this client learns a host key by being refused — which
pushed the SSH assembly past sshd's MaxStartups and failed a different few
unrelated tests each run; the session is shared through the fixture now, with
the reason written where the next person will hit it.

1004 tests green across 18 projects, 24 of them new: the SFTP subsystem against
the OpenSSH container, the queue against a real temporary directory and a fake
host, and three more layout measurements because a screen this window has never
laid out is a screen never checked.

Not verified: the screen has not been looked at running. The layout harness
measures it at the window's minimum in three shapes, which is the class of
defect that has shipped here before, but reaching it in the application needs
the compose stack, the migrations, the API and a browser sign-in. What is still
absent — the status bar's transfer count, dragging between the panes,
transferring a directory, and sftp over a bastion — is in
docs/design-import-gaps.md.

jaap-jan 312d766c30 Let the quick-connect palette answer for itself
Clicking outside the palette did nothing, because nothing was listening: the
wash took no pointer input at all, so the only ways out were a key and the
button that opened it. It now closes on a press whose source is the wash
itself, which is what separates outside from inside — a press on the card
bubbles through the same handler on its way to the window, and closing on
those would make the palette impossible to click into.

The caret never reached the query box either. The window focused it from the
view model's PropertyChanged, and that handler runs before the binding which
reveals the control — measured, with the same wiring, in a replica window. So
it focused a control that was still collapsed, which Avalonia treats as a
no-op and does not replay when the control is revealed, and the keyboard
stayed wherever the click that opened the palette had left it. Becoming
visible is now what triggers it, posted rather than called: a control that has
never been laid out has no visual children, and at the instant IsVisible turns
true the box still reports IsAttachedToVisualTree() == false.

Escape, Enter and the arrows move to the palette as a tunnelled handler.
Answering them only on the window was fragile in the way that matters here:
anything on the route that took a key first would silence them, and with the
focus never landing in the palette the key was being pressed at whatever the
opening click had focused — a focused Button eats Enter. The window keeps
Ctrl+K, which has to work when the palette is not showing, and forwards the
rest as the net for a press that arrives from outside the palette.

Which is also why this moved out of MainWindow rather than being fixed there.
Showing MainWindow initialises WebView2 on a thread it refuses, so nothing on
that window can be tested — the palette shipped with no test of any kind. As a
UserControl it hosts in a bare window and takes real key and pointer input,
and there are now six: press on the wash closes, press on the card does not,
Escape closes, the arrows move the selection without taking the caret out of
the box, Enter takes the highlighted host, and the palette takes the keyboard
when it appears.

Rebuilds the client's shell from an imported design: a titlebar and nav rail
it draws itself, real multi-session tabs over the one WebView, a Ctrl+K host
search, and a vault screen that merges keys, passwords and pinned host keys
into one table. Hosts left the vault column for their own screen beside the
terminal, which is what the design asks for and turned out to be the better
split anyway.

Two screens the design shows have nothing behind them yet — file transfer
and teams — and say so plainly rather than rendering invented data; every
other gap between the design and this build is recorded in
docs/design-import-gaps.md.

ci / build and test (ubuntu) (push) Canceled after 0s
ci / build (windows) (push) Canceled after 0s
Trust was created by the connect prompt and withdrawn from one host's editor, so
a pin for a host that had since been deleted or re-addressed was unreachable
from the interface entirely. It went on refusing connections and nothing in the
application would admit it was there. Two of the four recorded debts were really
this one: leftover pins, and no list to see them in.

A fourth section in the vault column, and the first that adding one has been
cheap for — three edits and two layout tests, which is what #8 and #9 were for.

No editor and no Add, which makes it the only section with neither. A pin is not
something anybody writes: it appears when somebody approves a fingerprint at the
moment of connecting, which is the one place a person can actually check it
against what the operator published. A form for typing one in would be a form
for pasting whatever a man in the middle just offered. So the section exists to
show and to withdraw, which is exactly what was missing.

The fingerprint is shown in full, wrapped, in a monospace line. The only thing
anybody does with one is compare it against a fingerprint an operator published,
and half of one cannot be compared — it can only be glanced at, which is the
habit pinning exists to replace. Nothing here is secret; a host key fingerprint
is published on purpose.

A pin no host in this vault dials is badged rather than hidden or deleted. That
is the leftover the debt was about, and keeping it is still right: the address
may be reached by something without a bookmark, and trust is about the endpoint
rather than the bookmark. The badge is a hint and not a verdict, which is why
nothing acts on it. Matched case-insensitively, because a host name is, and
because a list that called DB.internal unused next to a host saved as
db.internal would be inviting somebody to delete trust they rely on.

Forgetting goes through the same ForgetAsync as the host editor's button, which
withdraws every pin for the address rather than the selected row. Deliberate:
somebody who has stopped trusting a machine has not decided to keep trusting one
of its keys, and a second pin under another algorithm would go on being offered
at the next handshake — which reads as a withdrawal that did not work. The
status line says how many went, and the change is pushed immediately, because
the other machines are the ones still refusing to connect to a rebuilt server.

The list is read through the repository rather than through VaultKnownHostStore,
whose snapshot is shaped for the SSH handshake: one pin per endpoint,
deduplicated, no entity ids. This list has to show duplicates, because a
duplicate is one of the things worth seeing.

Two mutations, both caught: calling every pin dialled (3 tests), and defaulting
the selection to the first row (1) — the same hazard as the credential list,
since Forget acts on the selection.

The selector now holds four buttons in 340 pixels, and TheSelectorIsBigEnoughToClick
measures how much of that they use rather than leaving a fifth section to
discover it as "a button falls outside the window".

936 tests green across 16 projects, 6 of them new. Zero warnings, format clean.

Not verified: how the section looks. It joins the list in outstanding item #7.

jaap-jan da7462e41f Show one kind of vault item at a time, and let the vault hold passwords
Outstanding items #8 and #9, in one commit rather than two. They are separable
as work and were built in that order, but not as a diff: the section enum has
three members, the one-editor guard has three arms, and the picker offers keys
and credentials from the same list. Reconstructing an #8-only state would mean
hand-writing an intermediate version of VaultViewModel that never existed and
that no test has ever run. One honest commit beats two invented ones.

--- #8, the type selector ---

The column showed two lists and two editors stacked in 340 pixels, and only
just: the key list needed a MaxHeight and had to hide itself whenever its editor
opened, both to stop the host list above it pushing the buttons off the bottom
edge. Credentials would not have fitted at all. It now shows one kind at a time,
chosen by a selector at the top, and both workarounds are gone because a section
owns the whole column.

Three departures from the plan, each with a reason found while building it.

The selector is plain Buttons and a parameterised command, not a TabControl, a
TabStrip or a ListBox. All three of those hold the selection themselves, so a
click moves the highlight before the view model can refuse it — and this column
does refuse, while an editor is open. A selector lit on a section the column is
not showing is worse than the refusal it would be hiding. Buttons carry no state
and cannot disagree with the vault.

The one-editor-at-a-time rule survives with its justification replaced. That
rule was a workaround for the sizing problem above, and sections dissolved it:
the editors are in different sections and only one section is ever laid out.
BothEditorsAtOnce_DoNotFit_WhichIsWhyTheRuleExists is now
BothEditorsOpen_NowFit_BecauseOnlyOneSectionIsLaidOut — the same test, inverted,
because its own comment said that if it ever started passing the rule had become
unnecessary. It has. The rule stays for a better reason: an open key editor
holds a pasted private key in a bound string, and letting the column move on
would leave key material in a form nobody can see, with nothing on screen to say
it is there. A sizing hack became a rule about not hiding a secret from the
person holding it. KeyEditorIsInTheWay and HostEditorIsInTheWay are one
AnEditorIsInTheWay, called by the section switch and by every editor-opening
command.

And releasing the keyboard from the terminal has never worked. MainWindow takes
Win32 focus off the WebView's child window and then calls Focus() on
VaultColumn.KeyboardTarget — and a ListBox is not focusable by default in
Avalonia, which leaves focus to its items. So the call returned false, the
window ended up with nothing focused, and the keystrokes went nowhere: exactly
the state that method's own comment says its second half exists to prevent.
Found by writing the test to assert focus was taken rather than that the right
control was named — the cheap assertion was already passing. Fixed with
Focusable="True" on every list.

--- #9, credentials ---

Credentials have synced since they were added and could not be created. They can
now, and the sync layer needed no change at all: fourth item type, same result,
which is the item-kind seam working as intended.

One picker for all three ways a host authenticates, which is what makes the
illegal combination unrepresentable rather than merely invalid. SshKeyChoice
became AuthenticationChoice carrying an AuthenticationKind, and BuildHost reads
both SshKeyId and CredentialId off that single selection, so a host naming a key
and a credential — which HostSecret.TryValidate refuses — cannot be expressed.
Two pickers would have expressed it and then rejected it at save time. The kind
travels with the id in three places and none is padding: Missing takes it, the
placeholder lookup matches on kind as well as id, and Bound(kind) returns null
unless the selection is that kind. Drop any one and a dangling credential comes
back as a dangling key, which saves as a key binding to an id no key has.

A credential's username had to reach the SSH request, not just its password.
TryBuildCredential returned only the secret and the connect path read the
username off the host, so a stored credential would have gone out under the
wrong account — wrong in a way a server only reports as "authentication failed".
It is now TryBuildAuthentication returning a (Username, Credential) pair.

The no-username refusal moved, and had to. It ran before anything looked at the
binding, which made a credential's username unreachable in the one case it is
most useful: a host somebody never filled a username in for. It is now the last
thing every branch agrees on, so such a host is perfectly usable through a
credential that carries one, and a host with neither still refuses and now says
where to put one.

--- What the measurements cost ---

Ten mutations, all caught. Two are worth naming.

Removing a section's IsVisible is caught by OnlyOneSectionIsOnScreenAtOnce and
by nothing else: two visible sections overlap in the row they share rather than
clip, so every fit test still passes while the column shows one list through
another.

Defaulting the credential selection to the first row is caught by
ReloadingKeepsACredentialSelectionButNeverInventsOne, and the property is a
safety one rather than tidiness — Delete acts on the selection, so a list that
picked a row on every background sync would aim a one-click password deletion at
something nobody chose. The key list has the same property, and its comment
cited a method that has not existed for some time; both now name the delete
command they actually protect.

One test of mine could not fail, and the mutation pass is what found it.
AHostBoundToACredential_SendsItsPasswordAndItsUsername gave the credential and
the host the same username, so it passed whichever one the code read. An
override is only tested when the two values differ.

Two shipped statements went false and were corrected rather than left: the class
remark saying passwords were "not yet" in the vault, and the terminal column's
"Keys are in the vault; passwords are not yet."

That column's hint is now a tooltip on the password box rather than a sentence
in the row, which was measured the hard way — by looking. At the window's 820px
minimum the column gets 480, and a 220px box plus Connect plus any sentence does
not fit; the row has shipped clipped for as long as it has had a hint in it.
That strip is the one part of the window nothing can measure, because MainWindow
cannot be laid out headlessly at all. Extracting it into its own control, as the
vault column was extracted for exactly this reason, is what would fix that, and
is not done here.

911 tests green, 30 of them new. Zero warnings, dotnet format clean.

Seen by a person, which is how the two defects above were found. Still open from
that pass: unlocking with the device key raises its consent dialog and then
never returns, while registering one works — the difference is which thread the
CNG call lands on, and diagnosing it properly is its own change.
2026-07-30 17:08:59 +02:00
jaap-jan c5dec2d68e Measure the vault column instead of arguing about it
Nothing in this repository loaded a .axaml, so the one class of defect this
window has actually shipped — a control arranged past the edge of its container,
where it cannot be clicked — was the one class nothing could catch. The setup
screens rendered sliced once, with their buttons unreachable. The vault column is
the next candidate: 340 pixels wide, two lists and two editors, and the only
thing keeping it from clipping its own Save button at the window's 520-pixel
minimum is a state rule that one editor may be open at a time.

That rule was added on the strength of an argument. This adds an
Avalonia.Headless project that lays real XAML out at a real size and reports
what a user could not reach, and the argument is now a number: with both editors
open the column overflows, so the rule is load-bearing rather than defensive.
BothEditorsAtOnce_DoNotFit_WhichIsWhyTheRuleExists is the test, and it says what
to do if it ever starts passing — the column has room, so delete the rule, not
the test.

Two findings arrived by measuring rather than by reasoning, and the first one
changed the design.

MainWindow cannot be shown headlessly at all. Showing it attaches the terminal's
NativeWebView, whose Win32 adapter initialises WebView2 on attach, and WebView2
refuses a non-STA thread — which is exactly why Program.Main carries [STAThread]
and is written down in that comment. A HeadlessUnitTestSession owns its
dispatcher thread and offers no apartment choice, so the whole window is out of
reach at any size. That is pinned as a test asserting RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE by
HResult rather than by message, so a future Avalonia that makes the adapter lazy
will fail it and the harness can be widened.

So the column had to become its own control to be measurable, which is the
extraction the type-selector rework wanted anyway. Keyboard release moved with
it: MainWindow used to call Focus() on HostList by name, and now asks
VaultColumn.KeyboardTarget. The window decides that the keyboard should leave the
terminal and the column decides where it lands — which is the seam the rework
needs, because once the column shows one list at a time, "which list owns the
keyboard" is a question only the column can answer.

The second finding is the way this kind of test lies quietly. The hint class
lived in MainWindow.Styles and carries TextWrapping. A Window's styles reach its
whole tree, so nothing about the application depended on where it lived — but a
control laid out on its own loses them, and every hint paragraph would have
measured as a single line. The harness would have passed while measuring heights
that were all too small. The three shared classes now live in App.axaml, which
changes no rendering and makes the measurement honest.

The detector is calibrated in both directions, because a clipping detector that
never fires reads as a guarantee: a deliberately clipped Save button is caught by
name, and a list longer than its viewport is exempt. Scrolling is how a list is
supposed to handle more rows than fit, and without that exemption the host list
would fail the moment it had content. It also mis-fired once and the rule is
narrower for it — an empty ListBox is zero pixels tall and correct, so "arranged
with no size" now applies only to controls the theme gives a height to.

Skia rather than the headless drawing stub, deliberately. The stub's font manager
invents glyph metrics, and text height is an input to every stacked panel in this
column, so measuring against it would produce numbers that are self-consistent
and unrelated to the application.

A separate test project rather than more tests in DodoSSH.Client.App.Tests.
Avalonia's application, dispatcher and platform are process-global singletons
initialised once, and that project's identity is the shell's state machine
without Avalonia — the whole reason sign-in is a delegate. The fakes needed to
reach a real unlocked vault are shared from DodoSSH.Client.Session.Tests by
source link: a project reference would make one test project a library of
another, and a copy would be a third implementation of the same decision table
drifting from the other two.

855 tests green, 10 of them new. Zero warnings, dotnet format clean.

Not done, and this is groundwork rather than the item itself: the type selector.
The column still holds both lists at once, so a third item type would still
recreate the defect the one-editor rule works around. What is different is that
the rework can now be checked instead of eyeballed — including the claim it is
being made for, that one editor at a time stops being a runtime rule and becomes
a fact about what is in the visual tree.

What this harness will never catch is the terminal's native child window
compositing over Avalonia content. That is a Win32 property of a real window, no
headless surface reproduces it, and it is the reason the WebView is collapsed
rather than covered.
