DEV-2107: show a remote host's hub in the current tab - #10
ZmeiGorynych merged 9 commits into
Conversation
…nt tab Unit, process, e2e and opt-in real-SSH tests for opening a remote host's hub through the home page: browser protocol 10 messages and hub error codes, the frozen print-code line and page fragments, per-host port assignment, the install-only coordinator queue, the print-code opener and ssh -W forwards, the any-port Host/Origin rule, wtd ui <host> and --print-code, tunnel listeners, the Hubs menu and status line. The fake SSH learns -W forwarding; hub budgets are shortened in process tests via WTD_HUB_OPEN_MS, WTD_HUB_PROBE_MS and WTD_HUB_INSTALL_MS.
The home hub opens a remote host's own hub on request: it runs `wtd ui --print-code` there over the host's control master, binds the host's stable loopback port (assigned once into config.json) and relays each connection with `ssh -W`, probes it, and hands the page a URL to navigate to. The page gains a Hubs menu and an opening status line with the Tailscale login link, "Reinstall on <host>" and errors; a remote page routes back through home. `wtd ui <host>` and `wtd ui --print-code` are the CLI ends. The hub's Host/Origin rule accepts any loopback port with a same-origin Origin. Browser protocol 10. Also fixes tests the pr-tests stage left behind: the --version expectations still named browser protocol 9, the oversized print-code test raced the immediate kill, and a few toThrow assertions made more than one throwing call.

- Router: a cancelled opening no longer starts print-code or assigns a port (check after the config read and after print-code) - Tunnels: ensure takes the opening's AbortSignal, so a cancelled opening never binds or repoints a listener (D12) - Client: a hub opening ended by a lost connection reaches the Hubs status as an error; a superseded opening's pending request is forgotten - Sonar: Set for outdated statuses, no nested ternary/template, \d classes, no await in a loop, Escape handled on the menu button and role=menu list, assertions in tests that only waited

Main (DEV-2108) split the big process-test files and moved their shared setup into test/support. This branch's test changes are re-homed there: - hub-server.test.ts additions (forwarded Host and Origin checks) go into hub-server-http.test.ts and hub-server-websocket.test.ts - the remote-hub opening, tunnel and install tests go into the new hub-router-opening.test.ts and hub-router-install-hub.test.ts - the hub budgets (HUB_ENV), INSTALL_TIMEOUT, PRINT_CODE, restartHub, connectRuns, LOGIN_URL, configFile and RemoteHostConfig.port move into test/support/hub-router.ts, shared by the split files - hub.arc42.md keeps this branch's Purpose sentence and principle 3 wording with main's [enforced] pointers to the split test files - install-local.test.ts keeps main's reinstall flake fix and this branch's browser protocol 10

Closes DEV-2107.
What and why
From the laptop you can now view a remote host as if you were on it: its own hub, repos, worktrees and terminals, read from its own
config.json. You configure nothing beyond the existinghostsentry.The issue asked for a separate Chrome
--appwindow per host. The planning interview settled on the current tab instead: the tab navigates to the remote hub and back. All openings go through the home page, so errors and the Tailscale login link always show in one place.How it works
wtd ui --print-code, makes a hub of thatwtd's version serve on the host and prints one line,{"port":…,"code":"…"}, instead of opening a browser.openHub, the home hub runs that command over the host's existing SSH control master. A Tailscale check's login link is relayed to the page while it waits.127.0.0.1:<host port>and relays each accepted connection to the remote hub with its ownssh -W. It checks the forward withGET /, then replies withhttp://127.0.0.1:<host port>/#code=…&host=…&home=…&hubs=…, and the tab navigates there.config.json. It never changes after that, so the host's page keeps its origin and itslocalStoragepreferences.Host: 127.0.0.1:<any port>withOriginequal tohttp://plus that Host, so a forwarded port reaches it. The token or code is still required, and DNS rebinding still fails because the Host is an IP literal.hub.arc42.mdprinciple 3 is updated with the approved wording.User-facing
home/#hub=<name>.Opening box…,box needs Tailscale loginwith an "Open login link" button, orbox: <reason>with a ×. A host whosewtdis missing or too old offers Reinstall on box. It installs without restarting the daemon (a newinstallHuboperation, queued with restarts and reinstalls), then opens the hub.worktree-term — <host>.config.jsongains an optional per-hostport:{ "hosts": [{ "name": "devbox", "ssh": "devbox", "port": 7418 }] }AllowTcpForwarding yes, which is OpenSSH's default.Compatibility
BROWSER_PROTOCOL_VERSIONgoes from 9 to 10 for the new messages and the browser-only error codeshub-outdatedandhub-failed. An open page reloads once. The daemon protocol and daemons are unaffected.
