fix(ssh): keep managed servers connected to the forwarded SSH agent#23463

Problem

Desktop-managed SSH remotes with ForwardAgent yes start the server from a short-lived SSH session. Once that session exits, the server retains a removed SSH_AUTH_SOCK, so Git fetch and pull fail with Permission denied (publickey).

Change

Keep a remote session open on the existing tunnel and publish its agent socket through a stable link used by the managed server. Refresh the link on reconnect and wait for its publication before reporting the tunnel ready. SSH configuration still controls whether an agent is forwarded.

Scope and approval

Fixes #11872 GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/11872 Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #11872.

Verification

Final merged head a2c5a51b0e: vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, typechecks for four affected packages, and all 10 adjacent tests. Check output.
SSH package tests passed 23/23 before the main merge. The regression first failed on the base because agent access was lost after launch and reconnect while the server PID stayed unchanged. Red test output.
Three rounds of independent GPT-6.1-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 review completed; the confirmed Windows fixture issue was fixed. The readiness test also fails when the session gate is removed.

Evidence uses real Linux OpenSSH, the actual environment manager and server, a disposable home, and a local SSH Git origin. Probes use the actual server's socket environment. Runtime transcript · Proof matrix.

Scenario	Before	After
Forwarded agent after launch	Socket removed; fetch/pull fail	Live socket; agent listing, fetch and pull succeed
Tunnel reconnect	Server retains dead socket	Same server PID; link changes to the new session; fetch/pull succeed
ForwardAgent disabled	No agent exposed	No agent exposed; launch/reconnect still work
Stable remote agent, forwarding disabled	Authentication works	Authentication works across launch/reconnect; independent agent survives
External server adoption	External process survives disconnect	Original PID and agent environment preserved; process survives disconnect

Runtime comparisons use base 3b95e7831b and the fixed runtime through a96bd98149. The production tunnel.ts blob is identical at captured, reviewed, and final merged heads. No rendering changes: the visual matrix is empty. Owned fixture processes were stopped and configuration restored.

Unverified: cannot-verify desktop — macOS Electron UI/packaged runtime and native Windows SSH execution. The Linux managed-launch and reconnect paths were verified directly; Git RPC/UI interactions were not exercised.

Models: Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1-Sol. Harnesses: Claude Agent and Codex in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This keeps a forwarded SSH agent alive through the tunnel and publishes a stable socket link for managed servers. Unresolved lifecycle concerns cover concurrent clients and cross-alias server adoption, where Git authentication can remain unavailable despite a ready tunnel.

Needs human approval because:

Walkthrough

The SSH tunnel now maintains a remote session that publishes the forwarded agent socket at a stable launch-state path. The managed server uses that path when SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set. Tunnel startup waits for session readiness and HTTP readiness.

Changes: SSH tunnel session and agent forwarding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Persistent tunnel session and agent socket `packages/ssh/src/tunnel.ts`, `packages/ssh/src/tunnel.test.ts`	The remote session publishes the forwarded socket at the launch-state path and remains open. When `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set, the managed server uses that path. The live test checks server reuse and socket connectivity after reconnect.
Tunnel startup readiness checks `packages/ssh/src/tunnel.ts`, `packages/ssh/src/tunnel.test.ts`	Tunnel startup waits for the session-ready marker alongside HTTP readiness. Tests check that startup remains pending until the marker arrives and cover delayed SSH setup.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: External image Moderate · up to f3259

Managed SSH servers can still lose agent access when a server is adopted through a different alias or when several clients share a target. The new forwarded-agent tests currently fail in CI, so the package test run is red. Fix the failing fixture and the adoption and shared-link gaps before merging.

Explanation

The description includes all required sections: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. It explains the failure, implementation, linked issue, test results, runtime evidence, and unverified platforms.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #11872 requires the desktop-managed SSH server to retain forwarded-agent access after the launching session closes and after reconnect. packages/ssh/src/tunnel.ts keeps an SSH session open, publishes the forwarded socket through a user-owned /tmp/t3-ssh-<uid> link, points the managed server to that link, and refreshes the link on reconnect. Tunnel readiness waits for the session-ready marker. The link is created only when SSH_AUTH_SOCK exists, so SSH configuration remains the control for agent forwarding. packages/ssh/src/tunnel.test.ts covers readiness ordering and forwarded-agent lifetime across reconnect.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the SSH tunnel implementation and its tests. The tunnel changes directly implement issue #11872. The tests cover session lifetime, stable socket publication, reconnect behavior, readiness ordering, and related process fixtures. No unrelated systemd, UI, or product-area changes are present.

Fail the tunnel session when agent-link publication fails.

The session script ignores failures from ln and mv, then prints t3-ssh-tunnel-session-ready. HTTP readiness can therefore succeed while the managed server still points to an absent or stale agent.sock. Exit before the ready marker when either operation fails.

Use a short temporary root for the agent harness.

A typical macOS temporary directory can make the stable agent.sock path exceed the Unix socket limit. NodeNet.connect can then fail, causing this test to fail on macOS.

When two clients connect as the same Unix user, this mv -f makes them share one AGENT_LINK; if the most recently connected client disconnects, the link still targets its removed forwarded socket, so the other live tunnel loses Git authentication. Because ensureTunnelEntry reuses an entry while HTTP is ready, it does not republish the healthy client’s agent. Use per-session ownership with fallback or equivalent cleanup so a disconnect cannot leave the shared link stale.

When alias B adopts alias A's managed server, the server keeps using A's dead agent socket, so the tunnel reports ready but Git authentication fails. This link is set only when a new server is launched; update the link associated with the adopted server as well.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/compare/main...fix/issue-11872):

[major] packages/ssh/src/tunnel.ts:795: Not fixed: reconnecting to an existing managed server can still report ready while that server retains its dead launch-session socket. The stable SSH_AUTH_SOCK assignment only runs for a newly started server. Reuse leaves the process environment unchanged, and this launcher change does not change RUNNER_FILE, so RUNNER_CHANGED does not trigger replacement. Confirmed using main's launcher followed by this head's manager: samePid=true, beforeReachable=false, afterReachable=false. Add a one-time migration for managed servers launched without the stable socket, preserving subsequent reconnect reuse. Fails with: A supported source-checkout runner launches the managed server on origin/main with ForwardAgent enabled. Its launching session exits, leaving the inherited socket dead. Update to this head without changing nodeScriptPath, then reconnect to the same target. The existing server is reused and ensureEnvironment succeeds, but Git and agents still inherit the dead socket. Add a main-launch-to-head-reconnect regression case; the existing tests start servers with the new launcher and therefore miss this.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Fix the forwarded-agent fixture’s CI failures.

Both table rows fail because harness.readServer cannot find .t3/fake-server.json after ensureEnvironment returns. Make the fixture pass on CI while retaining the long-home profile coverage.

Publish the link used by the adopted managed server.

If alias B adopts a managed server launched through alias A, the server retains A's socket path from Line 799. The adoption branches at Lines 711 and 770 do not change that environment. B publishes only B's link because remoteStateKey includes the alias. If A's tunnel has ended, B can pass readiness while the server's agent remains unreachable. Carry the managed server's owning socket identity through adoption and publish that link. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep the agent link valid when another tunnel disconnects.

If two clients connect with the same target, the second tunnel replaces the first tunnel’s agent link. If the second connection drops, the link can point to its removed socket while the first tunnel remains connected. Agent-dependent Git operations can then fail until the first client reconnects. Restore a live session’s socket when the current publisher disconnects.
