The Desktop can drive a full update of a REMOTE SSH instance: claim the
connection (ManagedConnectionUpdateGate pauses dials/mutations while the
update owns it), terminate the owned backend with an identity re-proof
at the signal boundary (terminateOwnedDashboardForUpdate — argv+creation
time re-read in the same remote shell that signals), run the updater
under an update-in-progress marker/mutex on the remote install root,
bootstrap the new backend, and fence its publication so a rollback
cannot leak a half-published serve (fenceManagedSshBootstrapPublication
+ waitForManagedSshBootstrapFence barrier).
Extraction notes (campaign #91277 Phase 4; rollout/canary engine stays
behind per sequencing):
- managed-ssh-update.ts + test: clean cherry-pick (new files).
- windows-remote-lifecycle.ts + test: applied as-is (zero main drift).
- remote-lifecycle.ts: PR hunks stitched AROUND current main's #95532
skew guards and #91668 SIGKILL-escalating cleanupStale, which are
PRESERVED verbatim — the PR's python identity-re-proof termination is
wired for the managed-update path only; connect's stale replacement
keeps main's proven kill. One PR test assertion re-pinned accordingly.
- One PR test fixed: floating coordinator.start() promise whose
rejection IS the contract under test now has an explicit handler
(vitest flagged it as an unhandled rejection).
tsc clean; 131/131 across the three touched electron suites. main.ts
wiring (IPC + deps bag) follows as a separate commit.
52 handlers move into five registrars — git, pet overlay, hud, fs and
terminal. Each takes injected deps (window handles, binary resolvers,
path hardening) following the existing electron/ module pattern rather
than closing over main.ts locals, and terminal-ipc returns its dispose
helpers so SSH teardown and app shutdown keep working.
The SSH modules predate the stricter lint config that landed on main (curly, no-empty, perfectionist sorting, prettier). Mechanical lint:fix + fmt pass, empty catch blocks filled with the codebase's void-0 convention, and inline no-control-regex disables on the three deliberate control-char patterns (same pattern as lib/ansi.ts).
Detect the remote platform on connect and Test SSH: uname first (Linux/Darwin
keep the POSIX lifecycle), else an encoded-PowerShell probe that routes a
Windows host through connectWindowsRemote. The Windows lifecycle mirrors the
POSIX one — probe, one-shot token upload, spawn, readiness scrape, tunnel,
reuse-by-exact-ownership, and teardown — over a PowerShell helper dialect.
Preserve a backend on indeterminate process state (never destroy on unknowns);
a thrown terminate aborts before remove-lock so a live backend is never
orphaned. Interactive terminals on a Windows backend open PowerShell in the
requested cwd instead of a POSIX login shell.
