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. |

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. |

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. |
