Closes #399

What

Amicode gets its own GitHub face: an org-level GitHub App whose installation tokens arm every gh call and https git push in an agent session — bot PRs, human-authored commits (the Claude Code split).

  • github_app.ts — pure core: RS256 JWT mint (node:crypto, no new deps), installation-token fetch, 0600 atomic cache with 5-min reuse skew, token-free ConfigErrors (~/.amico/github.json, `` override — the pasqal credential-file pattern)
  • launcher/gh — PATH shim in the launcher bin dir the extension already prepends: unconfigured → byte-identical passthrough; configured → GH_TOKEN env into the real gh (recursion-guarded lookup). Every current and future gh call — agent sessions, handoff verb, repo-sync — becomes the bot with zero call-site changes
  • launcher/amico-git-credential — git credential helper for https github.com, registered via GIT_CONFIG_* spawn env ONLY when the connection file exists; silent fallthrough otherwise; never blocks auth
  • assert_packaged_cli.mjs — fail-closed gate extended: behavioral probes for both new bins (malformed-credential-file seeds, hermetic, no network)

Verification

  • 28 new hermetic tests (unit + through the built bundles); typecheck clean both packages
  • cli-gate: 23/23 PASS against the freshly staged bins
  • Remaining suite failures (opencode_dev provenance, agent_spawn config-dir, live-creds e2e) verified pre-existing on the clean tree
  • gh stays out of every node_modules/.bin — pnpm-script surface untouched

Phase 0 (manual, org owner — blocking for real use)

Create the org App (contents/PRs/issues RW, members R, administration RW), install on all repos, then write ~/.amico/github.json: {app_id, installation_id, pem_path}. Revoking the PEM is the kill switch.

Phase 2 (Connection panel UI) and Phase 3 (fleet propagation) follow as separate issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added GitHub App authentication for GitHub CLI and Git credential operations.
    • Added gh and amico-git-credential command-line helpers with secure token handling and credential caching.
    • GitHub authentication settings and credential helpers are now passed through supported server environments.
    • Packaged extensions now include and validate the new command-line tools.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for authentication, credential handling, CLI behavior, packaging, caching, and error scenarios.

…ATH shim, git credential helper (#399)

Every gh/git action in an agent session rides the researcher's personal login;
this gives Amicode its own GitHub App face. Unconfigured = byte-identical
passthrough; configured = self-refreshing 1-hour installation tokens, token
carriage env/protocol-only, bot PRs with human-authored commits.
…TH only (#399)

A bin-map entry made pnpm link gh into node_modules/.bin, where it shadowed
the developer's gh for every pnpm script: CI's fetch:opencode resolved to the
shim, which re-found the .bin alias, and pnpm's wrapper prepended NODE_PATH on
every recursive pass until exec hit E2BIG. The shadowing contract is
agent-session-only: gh now stages via amicode.shadowBins into the extension's
bin dir, gated + pinned like every declared bin. resolveRealGh additionally
compares realpath'd candidate FILES, so a symlink alias of the shim in any
PATH dir is skipped instead of recursing.

Changes

GitHub App authentication and CLI shims

Layer / File(s) Summary
GitHub App token core
packages/amico-run/src/github_app.ts, packages/amico-run/test/github_app.test.ts
Implements configuration parsing, RS256 JWTs, installation-token retrieval, token caching, secret-safe errors, and real gh resolution.
CLI shim execution
packages/amico-run/src/gh_shim.ts, packages/amico-run/src/gh_cli.ts, packages/amico-run/src/git_credential.ts, packages/amico-run/src/git_credential_cli.ts, packages/amico-run/launcher/*, packages/amico-run/package.json, packages/amico-run/esbuild.config.mjs, packages/amico-run/test/*
Adds the gh PATH shim and Git credential helper. The shims forward arguments, tokens, signals, exit codes, and Git credential protocol output.
Extension CLI packaging
packages/extension/esbuild.config.mjs, packages/extension/scripts/assert_packaged_cli.mjs, packages/extension/test/cli_gate.test.ts, packages/extension/test/packaging.test.ts
Stages configured shadow bins and validates the packaged gh and amico-git-credential launchers.
Server credential-helper wiring
packages/extension/src/server_auth.ts, packages/extension/test/server_auth.test.ts
Passes GitHub configuration paths through the sandbox and conditionally injects Git credential-helper settings when configuration and launcher files exist.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2831

This change adds GitHub App authentication for CLI operations and HTTPS pushes, but the configured credential helper will not currently be invoked, token requests can hang indefinitely, and non-read credential operations can trigger unnecessary authentication work. These issues can disable authenticated pushes or leave commands stalled, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Tolerate a trailing carriage return in request lines.

parseCredentialRequest captures everything after = into the value. If Git delivers host=github.com\r\n, the host becomes "github.com\r" and the routing check at Line 30 fails silently, so the push falls back to another helper. Trim the \r.

The missing-node branch exits 64, while the helper logic never blocks auth.

git_credential_cli.ts sets process.exitCode = 0 even on unexpected errors, to keep Git falling through. This launcher exits 64 when node is absent. Git treats an empty answer as "no credentials" and continues either way, so the behavior is safe, but the two paths state different contracts. Consider exiting 0 here after the stderr note, so the credential-helper contract is uniform.

Pass the parsed body instead of re-serializing it.

Line 168 calls JSON.stringify(await res.json()) only so parseInstallationToken can parse it again. If res.json() rejects, for example on an HTML error page returned with status 201, the rejection is not a ConfigError. gh_cli.ts then prints an "unexpected error" line with a stack trace instead of the actionable message.

Accept unknown in parseInstallationToken and guard the res.json() call.

♻️ Proposed change
-export function parseInstallationToken(json: string): InstallationToken {
-  let d: unknown;
-  try {
-    d = JSON.parse(json);

Keep a small safeJsonParse helper so the existing string-input tests still pass.

resolveRealGh returns a candidate that may not be executable.

The scan accepts any existing path entry named gh, including a directory or a non-executable file. spawn then fails with EACCES or EISDIR, and runRealGh reports exit 127 with the "failed to start gh" message rather than continuing the scan to the next PATH entry.

Check the execute bit before you accept a candidate.

Bind the token cache to the configuration that minted it.

readTokenCache returns any fresh cache entry before readGithubAppConfig runs. The cache stores only token and expiresAt. If the user re-installs the App or edits installation_id/app_id, the previous installation's token is still served until it expires, up to one hour. Requests then run under the old identity or fail with a confusing 403 from gh.

Record app_id and installation_id in the cache, then reuse the cache only on an exact match.

♻️ Proposed change to key the cache by identity
 export interface InstallationToken {
   token: string; // ghs_… — secret; env/stdout carriage ONLY
   expiresAt: string; // ISO 8601 (GitHub returns UTC); not a secret
+  appId?: string; // cache identity, not a secret
+  installationId?: string; // cache identity, not a secret
 }
@@
 export async function ensureInstallationToken(deps: EnsureDeps = {}): Promise<InstallationToken> {
   const env = deps.env ?? process.env;
   const cached = readTokenCache(env);
   const now = deps.nowMs ?? Date.now;
-  if (cached && isCacheFresh(cached, now())) return cached;
   const cfg = readGithubAppConfig(env);
+  if (cached && isCacheFresh(cached, now()) && cached.appId === cfg.appId && cached.installationId === cfg.installationId) return cached;

Note that this moves readGithubAppConfig ahead of the cache hit, so an unreadable config becomes an error on every call rather than only on a mint. That matches the "config faults are exit-64-class" stance stated in the file header.

Both bundle suites build dist/ in their own beforeAll. Vitest runs test files in parallel workers by default, so the two esbuild.config.mjs runs can execute at the same time and write the same output directory. One suite can then read a partially written dist/gh.js or dist/amico-git-credential.js, which produces intermittent failures. Each run also repeats the full build cost.

  • packages/amico-run/test/gh_cli.test.ts#L14-L16: remove the beforeAll build and rely on a shared setup that builds once.
  • packages/amico-run/test/git_credential_cli.test.ts#L15-L17: remove the beforeAll build for the same reason.

Move the build into a Vitest globalSetup entry, or gate it behind a module-level promise that both files import so the build runs once per process.

Answer only the get operation.

git credential(7) invokes a helper with one argument: get, store, or erase. credentialMain accepts no operation and answers every invocation the same way. For store and erase, the helper still calls ensureInstallationToken, which can mint a token over the network, rewrite the token cache, and print the installation token to a stdout pipe that Git discards. Git also runs store after each successful authentication, so every push triggers this extra work.

Accept the operation and return silently unless it is get. git_credential_cli.ts must forward process.argv[2].

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a timeout to the token mint request.

fetchInstallationToken awaits fetchImpl with no deadline. The default fetchImpl is global fetch, which has no default timeout. If api.github.com accepts the connection and never responds, the gh shim and the git credential helper both hang. Git blocks on the credential helper's stdout, so a push can stall indefinitely.

Pass an AbortSignal with a bounded deadline, and map the abort to a ConfigError.

Use a byte-changing signature tamper

testKeyPair() generates random keys, so the final signature character can be "A". In that case, changing "A" to "B" changes only ignored base64url padding bits, and verifyAppJwt still returns true. Mutate a decoded signature byte, then re-encode it.

The "expire the cache" fixture uses the wrong key, so it tests corruption, not staleness.

Line 161 writes expires_at. readTokenCache accepts only expiresAt, so it returns undefined and the re-mint happens through the corrupt-cache path. The test passes even if isCacheFresh is broken. Write a stale entry with the cache's own key so the assertion covers the staleness branch.

💚 Proposed fix
-    const stale = { token: "ghs_test_4", expires_at: new Date(Date.now() - 1000).toISOString() };
+    const stale = { token: "ghs_test_4", expiresAt: new Date(Date.now() - 1000).toISOString() };
     writeFileSync(env.AMICO_GITHUB_TOKEN_FILE, JSON.stringify(stale));

Use credential.https://github.com.helper for the Git credential helper. http.https://github.com/.helper is an HTTP setting, so Git will not invoke amico-git-credential.

…timeout, CRLF, cache identity

- server_auth: GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0 credential.https://github.com.helper (was http.*)
  helper never fired — fixes silent auth fallthrough
- github_app: fetchInstallationToken with AbortSignal.timeout 15s + ConfigError
  mapping; parseInstallationToken accepts unknown body (no double JSON roundtrip)
  + catch res.json() failures as ConfigError
- github_app: isExecutableFile guard in resolveRealGh (skip non-executable PATH
  entries instead of EACCES at spawn)
- github_app: cache keyed by appId/installationId (store + reuse only on
  exact match; legacy caches without identity still reuse — backward compat)
  and ensureInstallationToken reads config before cache hit
- git_credential: parseCredentialRequest trims CR, credentialMain gates on
  operation===get (store/erase now no-op, no mint)
- git_credential_cli: forward process.argv[2] as operation
- launcher/amico-git-credential: missing node now exits 0 (credential-helper
  contract: never block auth, fall through to next helper)
- tests: isCacheFresh 300s boundary, tamper flips real signature byte,
  stale fixture uses expiresAt, resolveRealGh fixtures chmod +x,
  server_auth gate expectations updated

Fixes #401 review findings (5 actionable + 4 nitpicks).
…sy race

When chat SSE is streaming, the browser's per-host connection pool
starves the Connections panel's direct fetch to /amicode/connections/* —
clicking Connect while a turn is active hangs. The webview now delegates
all credential mutations (credential/disconnect/revalidate/auth/
choose-project/add-custom/remove) to the extension host via postMessage
(bridge kinds connections-{credential,disconnect,...} + -result replies).

The host forwards via Node fetch with the per-boot Basic auth header
(#163), so the POST succeeds outside the iframe's connection pool and
returns even while the LLM streams. ChatPanel and DeckPanel both plumb
server {url, authorization} into BridgeIo and allowlist the new kinds
in their relay scripts; Deck shell fans out -result replies to the
asking pane.

Fixes the 'can't connect to connectors when a chat is being completed'
race without touching the opencode fork's concurrent router.

See #401 follow-up + #403 validator path.
