## What
Fixes the create-agent dialog's "Run on" provider config fields eating
keystrokes — reported by Tyler in buzz-remote-agents (channel
`29414326`, thread `db76677a`): the Kubernetes **Kubeconfig context**
field would not accept typing.
## Why it happened (the Typewriter Eraser, shipped in #4289)
`WhereToRunSection`'s probe `useEffect` depended on the whole `draft`:
1. every keystroke changed the draft → effect re-fired → provider binary
re-probed;
2. each probe result is a fresh object written into the draft → the
effect re-triggered **itself**, respawning the provider binary in a loop
for as long as the dialog sat on a provider;
3. every probe resolution reset `providerConfig` to schema defaults —
erasing whatever was typed. A field with no schema default (`context`)
snapped back to empty, i.e. "won't let me type". Unrelated to how many
kubeconfig contexts you have.
## Fix
- **Probe once per provider selection**, keyed on the provider's stable
`binaryPath` — not the draft, not the provider object (a
`useBackendProvidersQuery` refresh must not reprobe an unchanged
selection).
- **Latest-state resolution** via `React.useEffectEvent` + a new pure
`applyProbeResult` helper: schema defaults merge **beneath** the current
`providerConfig`, so a probe landing after the user typed can never
clobber in-flight input (per Wren's pre-patch red-team: changing deps
alone leaves a stale closure).
Existing `cancelled` cleanup keeps provider-switch/unmount safe;
selection reset (`emptyWhereToRunDraft`) and the fail-closed probe-error
path are unchanged.
## Tests
- **Unit** (`whereToRunIntent.test.mjs`): `applyProbeResult` merge
semantics — defaults under typed values, user-cleared fields stay
cleared, schema-less results, unrelated fields preserved.
- **E2E** (new `where-to-run-config.spec.ts`, added to the smoke
project, **red-first verified**: all 3 fail against the unfixed
component):
- typing into a defaultless provider field sticks, and
`probe_backend_provider` fires exactly once per selection;
- the config form is gated on probe resolution (slow probe: no
half-rendered form, defaults prefill once);
- provider → local → provider re-probes and resets cleanly.
- Mock bridge gains `backendProviders` / `backendProviderProbeResult` /
`backendProviderProbeDelayMs` seams (defaults preserve prior behavior).
## Verification at 8eb7680
- `pnpm check` + `tsc` clean, `pnpm test` 3926/3926;
- new spec 3/3 green (and 3/3 red on the unfixed component);
- pre-push lefthook: desktop-test, desktop-check, desktop-tauri-checks,
rust-tests, mobile-test all green.

### What changed?
Mobile now recovers live subscriptions after retryable or rate-limited
relay `CLOSED` responses. It ports the existing desktop model: classify
terminal versus retryable closures, honor retry hints through a
session-owned rate-limit gate, retry with bounded backoff, and replay
visible-channel subscriptions first in bounded batches.
Channel refreshes also retain unchanged live subscriptions instead of
clearing and recreating them. This is desktop parity, not a new relay
policy.
### Why?
On reconnect or resume, mobile replayed its retained live subscriptions
while `channelsProvider` independently cleared and recreated roughly the
same set, alongside unread catch-up and open-channel requests. The relay
allows 50 REQs per 5 seconds, so users in many channels could
predictably exceed the budget. In live reproduction, 55 subscriptions
produced 9 rate-limit closures, 60 produced 18, and 80 produced 36.
Mobile then treated every live `CLOSED` as terminal, removed the
affected subscription, and never restored it. Channel updates could
remain dead until a later session reconstruction. This is the primary
causal chain behind
[BOT-1449](https://linear.app/squareup/issue/BOT-1449/buzz-mobile-posted-messages-dont-appear-until-leavingre-entering-the).
Desktop already handles this as normal transient pressure by classifying
closures, gating and backing off retries, pacing reconnect replay, and
retaining unchanged subscriptions. This change brings mobile to the same
recovery model while removing the avoidable request burst.
### How is it tested?
Full mobile suite: 721 passed, 1 skipped. Analyzer and formatting checks
pass. Required CI checks pass.
Added and updated tests cover `CLOSED` classification, retry hints,
rate-limit gating, bounded retry and reset behavior, terminal failures,
timer cleanup, history gating, visible-first batched replay, and
retention of unchanged subscriptions.

`claude-agent-acp` (since v0.6.0 / PR #91) accepts `_meta.systemPrompt:
{append: text}` on `session/new` to append to the adapter's native
preset while keeping its tool-use prompt intact — the same non-standard
extension pattern as `_session/steering` was before it was standardised.
## What changes
**Rust (`crates/buzz-acp/`)**
- Adds `SystemPromptTransport` enum to `acp.rs`: `Field(&str)` (ACP
protocol v2, unchanged) vs `ClaudeMeta(&str)` (new `_meta.systemPrompt:
{append: text}`). When both `ClaudeMeta` and `session_title` are present
the two `_meta` members are merged into one object so neither clobbers
the other.
- Gates on exact adapter identity
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` in `pool.rs`:
`session_new_system_prompt()` routes that name to `ClaudeMeta`
regardless of reported `protocolVersion` (CC declares v1).
`has_system_prompt_support()` gains the same name check so user-message
`[Base]`/`[System]` framing is suppressed for CC sessions.
- All other paths — goose post-hoc method, protocol-v2 `Field`, legacy
user-message framing — are byte-identical to before.
**Desktop (`desktop/src/features/agents/ui/`)**
- `agentSessionTranscript.ts`: the `session/new` extractor now checks
`params._meta.systemPrompt.append` as a fallback when bare
`params.systemPrompt` is absent. Bare field takes precedence. Net line
count stays at 1173 (ratchet limit).
- `agentSessionTranscript.test.mjs`: two new tests — one verifying the
`_meta` transport produces the identical standalone card (same five
sections, same `turnId: null`, same placement before the first turn) as
the bare-field transport; one proving bare field wins when both
transports are present.
## Gate claim
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` implies `_meta.systemPrompt`
support because the feature landed in v0.6.0 (Oct 2025, commit
`ea796f3`) before the `@zed-industries/claude-code-acp` →
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` package rename (Mar 2026, commit
`b409782`). The new name is therefore a reliable capability gate; the
old name falls through to the protocol-version gate (status quo, no
regression).
## Tests
- Rust: Claude append serialization; `_meta` coexistence with
`sessionTitle`; protocol-v2 bare field byte-identical; codex/old-zed
omission; claude-name support/suppression gate; old `@zed-industries`
name falls through to protocol-version gate.
- Desktop: `_meta` transport → identical standalone card; bare field
wins over `_meta` when both present.
## Pre-existing failures
`just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` fail identically on clean
`origin/main` (5 `compose_bar` / `channels_page` tests + 3 Flutter lint
warnings) — not caused by this change. All other `just ci` jobs are
green.

## What
Two changes, both fallout/follow-up from #4289 landing:
### 1. Fix the Security job failing on main (lockfile-only)
Eight RUSTSEC advisories published today against the nostr stack turned
`cargo-deny check` advisories red on main ([failing
run](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/30761611723/job/91533106673)).
Not introduced by #4289 — the advisories landed upstream and any push to
main today would have tripped them.
- **RUSTSEC-2026-0225..0230** → `nostr` 0.44.6 → **0.44.7** (Debug
output exposing NIP-46/NIP-60 credentials; wallet parsers accepting
unauthenticated events; NIP-44/NIP-04/NIP-98 resource exhaustion; NIP-50
empty-filter panic)
- **RUSTSEC-2026-0231..0232** → `nostr-relay-pool` 0.44.2 (root) /
0.44.1 (tauri) → **0.44.3** (auth-challenge memory exhaustion;
processing of unverified relay events)
Both workspace lockfiles bumped (`Cargo.lock`,
`desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock`). No manifest changes.
### 2. Default the desktop GUI's sprig image to the published
`ghcr.io/block/buzz-sprig`
The first main-push after #4289 published the image publicly (package
created 18:44Z, visibility `public`). The `config_schema()`'s `image`
property now carries a `default`:
```
ghcr.io/block/buzz-sprig:sha-6530b58@sha256:17facfc7608d8ddb33bc056c9aaba1098f4ef6abe5655702fbfd7584d1f74d76
```
**Why tag+digest, not tag:** the backend deliberately rejects tag-only
references — the pod runs with the agent's nsec and tags are mutable
pointers (`image.rs` §Image). The tag+digest form keeps the
human-traceable `sha-6530b58` while the digest does the pinning;
`image::parse` already normalizes it to the tagless canonical form, so
create-intent fingerprints are identical to the bare-digest spelling.
The digest is the **multi-arch manifest-list digest** (amd64+arm64),
resolved via `docker buildx imagetools inspect`.
**This is a UI prefill, not a baked fallback:** `image` stays in the
schema's `required` list, an empty value still fails closed with a named
field, and the desktop submits the value explicitly in `provider_config`
(the `WhereToRunSection` probe seeds `providerConfig` from schema
defaults) — so deploy fingerprints never depend on compiled-in provider
state, and the spec's §K8s pod-reconciliation concern about
baked-default divergence is not engaged. Module prose that said "no
published image exists yet" is updated to match reality.
No desktop code changes needed: the form already prefills from
`properties[*].default` and submits seeded defaults.
## Testing
- `cargo-deny check` at head: **advisories ok, bans ok, licenses ok,
sources ok** (was: advisories FAILED)
- `cargo test -p buzz-backend-kubernetes`: **158 passed** (154 lib + 4
wire), including new `schema_default_image_round_trips_through_parse`
pinning the constant + its normalization, and the wire `info` test now
asserting the default is present in the provider's real stdout response
- Live provider probe: `{"op":"info"}` against the built binary returns
the default in `config_schema.properties.image.default` with `required`
unchanged (`["namespace","image"]`)
- Full workspace test suite via pre-push hook: green (earlier direct
`cargo test --workspace` run: sole failure was
`api::mesh_demo::demo_join_forwarded_arm_round_trips_echo`, the
documented pre-existing main flake — unrelated, fails on base)
- Image existence verified against GHCR: `docker buildx imagetools
inspect ghcr.io/block/buzz-sprig:sha-6530b58` resolves to the pinned
manifest-list digest with linux/amd64 + linux/arm64 manifests

## Problem
Two related gaps in global back/forward navigation. Fixes#3775.
1. The keyboard shortcuts almost never fire in real use — users fall
back to clicking the toolbar chevrons and assume the shortcuts don't
exist.
2. On macOS, mouse back/forward buttons (X1/X2) and horizontal swipe
gestures do nothing, although they navigate in every browser and in
Slack.
**Duplicate check:** searched open PRs and issues — none found beyond
#3775 (filed alongside this fix). #3078 / #3377 are
next/previous-*channel* navigation, a different feature.
## Root causes
**Keyboard:** `useBackForwardControls`'s keydown handler bailed whenever
the event target was editable — but `useComposerAutofocus` deliberately
focuses the message composer (a ProseMirror contenteditable) on mount
and on every channel switch. In steady state focus almost always lives
in the composer, so the chords were silently swallowed. Invisible to CI
because `navigation.spec.ts` only ever clicked the `global-back` /
`global-forward` buttons, never pressed the keys.
**Mouse/swipe:** on macOS, WKWebView never delivers X1/X2 button events
or swipe gestures to the page (Safari handles them natively in the app
layer, not in page JS), and Buzz had no native handler.
## Fix
### Keyboard chords (web layer)
Match the existing platform chord regardless of the event target and
drop the editable-target guard:
- `⌘[` / `⌘]` have no text-editing semantics in macOS text fields, and
the TipTap/StarterKit editor config binds no `Mod-[` / `Mod-]` shortcuts
(checked `useRichTextEditor.ts` — list indentation is Tab/Shift-Tab).
- `preventDefault()` keeps the chord out of the editor — asserted in the
e2e test.
This matches browsers and Slack, where back/forward chords work while a
text field is focused. Chord matching is extracted into a pure helper,
`app/navigation/backForwardChords.ts`, so it can be unit tested;
behavior (bindings, modifier exclusivity, `code`-based matching for
non-US layouts) is unchanged.
### macOS mouse buttons and swipe gestures (native layer)
An NSEvent local monitor in `mouse_nav.rs` catches what the webview
can't see and emits a `mouse-nav` Tauri event to the main window
(`emit_to`, so navigation stays scoped if multi-window ever lands) that
the frontend acts on. Two AppKit event shapes map to navigation:
- `otherMouseUp` with button 3/4 — mice whose X1/X2 buttons arrive as
plain button events. These are swallowed after emitting so nothing
downstream double-handles them.
- `swipe` with a horizontal delta — AppKit's page-swipe gesture
(`swipeWithEvent:`): `deltaX > 0` back, `deltaX < 0` forward. Sent by
mouse drivers that synthesize a page-swipe gesture for the back/forward
buttons instead of button-3/4 events (the hardware this was verified
on). Stock Apple trackpad and Magic Mouse swipes arrive as phased
scroll-wheel events instead, which this PR does not handle — that path
(`ScrollWheel` + `trackSwipeEventWithOptions:`, which also needs
scroll-edge detection) is deferred to a follow-up. Swipes are passed
through (swallowing mid-gesture events could confuse AppKit gesture
tracking).
The swipe path was verified end to end on hardware whose back/forward
buttons emit only swipe gestures, never button-3/4 events — an
instrumented event monitor confirmed the events arrive as
`NSEventType::Swipe` with `deltaX ±1`, and navigation worked after
mapping them.
## Tests
- **13 unit tests** for the web-side chord matcher
(`backForwardChords.test.mjs`): supported chords, modifier exclusivity,
`code` fallback, and preservation of line-editing shortcuts.
- **6 Rust unit tests** for the native mapping helpers (`mouse_nav.rs`):
button 3/4 directions, other buttons ignored, swipe delta sign →
direction, zero-delta (gesture-begin) ignored.
- **e2e regression case** in `navigation.spec.ts`: presses the platform
chord *while the composer is focused* — the missing coverage. Verified
it fails against the pre-fix implementation and passes with the fix.
- Full desktop unit suite: 3832/3832 pass. Full Rust suite (`cargo
test`, buzz-desktop): 1888 passed / 0 failed. `pnpm typecheck`, `biome
check`, `pnpm check`, `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy`: clean (no new
warnings).
- Full Playwright e2e: 958 passed; 6 failures are relay-infrastructure
tests (live relay seeding / relay state seam) that fail identically
without this change — `navigation.spec.ts` is fully green.
## Manual test
1. Open a channel, then another (composer autofocuses on each switch).
2. `⌘[` — returns to the previous channel; `⌘]` — forward again. Typing
`[` / `]` in the composer inserts normally.
3. Mouse back/forward buttons navigate the same way, from anywhere in
the window (verified on macOS on hardware using both event shapes).
## Update — 2026-07-31
Removed the redundant DOM mouse-button handler after verifying it was
unnecessary. The native macOS path remains unchanged and was revalidated
manually.

# Kubernetes backend plugin (crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes) + desktop
deploy path
Implements docs/remote-agents.md (merged @ 28ae6cd21) as ONE PR: the
provider
binary, the desktop changes that make it work, the harness inactivity
reaper,
the Sprig image, and the conformance/live-test suites.
Channel: buzz-remote-agents (29414326-dba7-402d-b384-b1b34d63a2e6),
thread c42b70ef.
## What's here (by lane)
- **crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes** (Dawn): stdin/stdout JSON provider,
info +
deploy; pure classify.rs (one match arm per spec state-machine row);
reconcile/GC with ownership-marker gate + same-clock orphan check;
per-attempt
immutable Secrets; three-tier env with clear-then-write authoritative
tier.
- **Desktop** (Mari): KD3 launch block from resolved descriptor, KD5
pre-secret
negotiation gate (resolve-once → stage-and-digest → info → protocol gate
→
deploy), KD1 Windows extension strip, bundling (externalBin + Justfile +
release/canary workflows + stub loops), tauri.windows.conf.json platform
override (Decision B: no Windows artifact).
- **buzz-acp** (Max): KD4 BUZZ_ACP_EXIT_AFTER_INACTIVITY reaper
(pool-independent;
reset only at accepted dispatch; in-flight turn/heartbeat defers, never
resets);
BUZZ_ACP_EXIT_AFTER_INACTIVITY + BUZZ_ACP_NO_PRESENCE reserved. KD8 fix.
- **Image + tests** (Perci): Dockerfile.sprig (digest-pinned bases, exec
buzz-acp
PID 1, relay-scoped credential config), image contract script, provider
conformance suites (golden wire fixtures shared with desktop tests),
live-local
runbook (namespace-scoped, shared-cluster safe).
- **Docs** (Sami, first commit): citation re-pin c1bca1b56 → 28ae6cd21
(44/49
were already byte-exact; 3 offsets fixed) + I3 presence-bound correction
(below).
## Named spec deviations (deliberate, each with rationale)
1. **No baked default image yet.** ghcr.io/block/buzz-sprig is
unpublished
(verified: anonymous pull 403 vs control 200). Omitted `image` returns
an
in-band field-required error instead of a default.
2. **Image override STRICTER than spec §Image:** digest-only
(`name@sha256:<64hex>`); ALL tags rejected; `name:tag@digest`
normalized.
With no baked default the override is the only path, so tag-acceptance
would
make mutability the v1 norm. Strictness is reversible; a moved tag under
an
nsec is not. Baked digest default + tag re-acceptance = follow-up with
image
publish.
3. **imagePullSecrets not in schema (v1).** Explicit user images may
rely on
namespace-preprovisioned pull credentials — the substrate boundary.
Field
added only if the publish decision proves it necessary. 9-field budget
intact.
4. **Decision A closed: writable empty workspace.** Nest projection =
named
follow-up; no image-side scaffolding.
5. **Decision D overridden by Tyler (event b55398d8):** provider ships
bundled
with the desktop like buzz-acp/buzz-agent; spec §Distribution's separate
release workflow deleted for v1.
6. **I3/vision presence bound corrected 90s → 180s.** PRESENCE_TTL_SECS
moved in
#3783 during this spec's base→merge window; the number was inherited,
not
chosen. Spec :206/:216/:928 + inline quote + VISION_REMOTE_AGENTS.md:59
corrected. ← Tyler: the vision is your document; this edit is flagged
for
your explicit eyes.
7. **Spec citations are pinned to 28ae6cd21** (main at spec merge) and
resolve
there, not at this PR's head — this PR's own lanes move
crates/buzz-acp/src/lib.rs by ~100 lines (19 citations across
KD4/KD6/KD7/
§Stop/§Launch data). Known Defects rows fixed BY this PR retire on
merge;
the section documents main as of the pin.
8. **KD7 grace tension declared:** pod terminationGracePeriodSeconds=60
vs
KD7's measured ~87s shutdown tail at parallelism 10 (~197s at cap 32).
KD7 is ruled out of scope, so L1-3's "enough grace for full graceful
shutdown" is NOT met at default config — deliberate, resolved by the KD7
follow-up, not silently.
## Question for Tyler
Will ghcr.io/block/buzz-sprig publish PUBLIC? If private-by-policy,
§Image needs
an imagePullSecrets story before the baked-default follow-up can land.
## Out of scope (named follow-ups)
KD6 exit-code contract + KD7 shutdown budget (gate OnFailure), OnFailure
restart
policy, Windows provider binary, PVCs/nest projection, mesh
deployability,
sprig image publish workflow + baked multi-arch digest default.
## Reproduce locally (four traps that cost us real time)
**1. Git hooks inherit the invoking shell's PATH — pin the shell, not
just your
verification commands.** `rust-toolchain.toml` pins `1.95.0`, but the
rustup shim
that honors that pin lives in `~/.cargo/bin`. If Homebrew's cargo is
earlier on
PATH, `cargo` in this repo is 1.89.0, which cannot build the workspace
at all:
```
$ /opt/homebrew/bin/cargo check -p buzz-db
error: rustc 1.89.0 is not supported by the following packages:
sqlx@0.9.0 requires rustc 1.94.0
... # exit 101
```
Verifying with `PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" cargo test` does *not*
protect the
push: lefthook's `pre-push` → `just test-unit` re-resolves `cargo` from
the
shell's own PATH, so a green local run is followed by a hook failure on
a crate
you never touched. Export the PATH for the whole shell, not per-command.
This
bit twice.
**2. Line-scope your mutations, or the mutation edits its own
detector.** When
mutation-testing the respond-to guard, a whole-file `sed` on the mode
literal
touches 5 sites — the guard *and* the fixtures/assertions that test it.
The
mutation and its detector move together and the suite stays green, which
reads
as "this code is dead" when it actually means "you deleted the
experiment":
```
# WRONG — 5 sites, guard and tests mutate together
$ sed -i '' 's/"allowlist"/"allowlist-DISABLED"/g' src/env.rs
test result: ok. 145 passed; 0 failed # false survivor
# RIGHT — 1 site, anchored to the guard's own definition line
$ sed -i '' '/^const RESPOND_TO_ALLOWLIST/s/"allowlist"/"allowlist-DISABLED"/' src/env.rs
failures:
env::tests::allowlist_mode_with_an_empty_list_is_refused
env::tests::an_allowlist_entry_that_is_not_64_hex_is_refused
test result: FAILED. 143 passed; 2 failed # real kill
```
Restore by copying a pristine file back and confirming `git diff --stat`
is
empty, not by re-running an inverse `sed`.
**3. A completeness guard is not a correctness guard.** The shared wire
fixture
`tests/fixtures/provider-wire/deploy-full-launch.request.json` passed
every test
we had while containing four classes of invented data (wrong
`respond_to`
encoding, an env key no emitter writes, allowlist entries that fail the
harness's own 64-hex rule, a `launch.env` key from no descriptor layer).
The
provider's tests could not have caught this: its types are deliberately
indifferent to these values (`Option<String>`, `Vec<String>`, arbitrary
map), so
"the provider parses it" was never evidence that the desktop emits it.
The fix
was not a stronger provider assertion but a rule about provenance —
"recorded"
means executed-and-transcribed, and the desktop's whole-object equality
test is
the only enforcement that can exist. See the fixture README.
**4. Every drift this arc was a value that agreed with itself.** Five
invented
values were found, and not one was caught by an assertion failing — each
was
caught by someone asking where a value came from. A named constant
referenced
symbolically on both the fixture and assertion side. A `sed` that
mutated its
own detector. Six probe rows that all died at the same unrelated error.
A
descriptor struct literal compared against a fixture built from that
literal
(`launch.args: ["run","--session"]`, which the resolver actually returns
as
`["acp"]`). The general defense is not more assertions but provenance: a
stub is
a control that varies nothing, and the more faithful it looks the better
it
hides. Ask what executed, not what passed.
*Fixture-test determinism caveat (post-verification, Quinn + Dawn).* The
desktop's whole-object fixture test calls the real resolver, which
consults a
process-global harness registry whose own docs require
`registry_test_lock`
for any test touching it. The fixture test holds no lock and is
nonetheless
deterministic — but by containment, not by ordering. Measured, not
derived:
planting a definition with `id: "goose"` directly into the registry
(bypassing
the loader) changes the resolved descriptor from `args: ["acp"]` to
`args: ["--poisoned"]`, so `resolve_effective_harness_descriptor`
**does**
reach the registry for this id — it does not short-circuit on the
builtin
table first. Two controls discriminate: an empty registry and a registry
poisoned under a *different* id both return `["acp"]`. What actually
protects
the test is that the registry has exactly one writer
(`update_loaded_harness_registry`, reached only via
`warm_harness_registry_from_dir`) — but that writer concatenates **two**
sources of unequal strength (`custom_harnesses.rs:319-326`). Custom
files
pass through `load_custom_harnesses`, whose `check_id_collision` rejects
the
reserved builtin id `goose` case-insensitively at the loader — and that
leg
is tested (`load_applies_id_collision_check` writes a real `goose.json`
and
asserts the loader drops it). Preset definitions
(`preset_harness_definitions`, `presets.rs:177-193`) are a bare `.map`
over
`PRESET_HARNESSES` with **no collision check** — exhaustive call-site
enumeration at `60007fda4` finds four production `check_id_collision`
sites,
none on the preset path. That leg holds only because `goose` is not in
the
preset table today (intersection of TIER1 and preset ids is empty) —
executed, not just read: adding a preset with `id: "goose"`,
`args: ["--poisoned"]` and warming via the normal preset-only path
(`warm_harness_registry_from_dir(None)`, no custom dir, no direct
writer)
flips the fixture's emitted `launch.args` from `["acp"]` to
`["--poisoned"]`
at `60007fda4`, command/env/policy_env unchanged. So: no test in the
suite
can put a `goose` entry in the registry
via the custom path, and no preset currently carries one, so no
interleaving
can perturb this fixture — containment with one checked leg and one
coincidental one. A future fixture built on a **non-builtin** runtime id
has
no containment at all — it would be order-dependent against whatever
registry-writing test ran last and must take the lock.
*Late instance, found while reviewing the mode guard.* The guard
exact-matches
`respond_to` untrimmed and case-sensitively, which is only correct if
clap's
`ValueEnum` derive is case-sensitive. `config.rs` gives two answers: the
derive
at `:448-453` carries no `ignore_case`, while the crate's own tests call
`RespondTo::from_str(s, true)` — `ignore_case = true`. Reading the
source
supports either. Measured on the built binary instead: `owner-only`
starts,
`OWNER-ONLY` / `Owner-Only` / `ALLOWLIST` / `NOBODY` all exit rc=2
`invalid
value`. Case-sensitive at the CLI, so the guard is right — and right for
a
reason the source does not state. The `from_str(_, true)` tests exercise
a
different surface and are not evidence about the CLI.
*Corollary, and the sharper half.* When a test helper **reimplements**
production instead of calling it, the helper is a fork — and a fork can
be
right while production is wrong, or wrong in the same way, and the suite
reports green either way. Both `BUZZ_ACP_ALLOWED_*` gates are forked
like this:
production compares **strings** while the helpers compare **post-parse
enums**
(`config.rs:2623`) or re-derive the split
(`buzz-cli/.../channels.rs:1296`).
Production and the helper each carry their *own* copy of the empty-entry
filter
(`:1025` and `:1300`), so fixing one says nothing about the other.
Measured on
`buzz-cli`, restoring byte-exact between runs:
| tree | result |
|---|---|
| baseline | 274 passed |
| drop the empty-filter in **production** only (the real fix) | **274
passed** — no signal |
| drop it in the **test helper** only | **273 passed, 1 failed**
(`channels.rs:1338`) |
Two independent defects, stacked, and worse together than either alone:
production can be fixed with no test ever noticing, *and* the helper
cannot be
corrected without a false alarm demanding the bug back. The root cause
is one
bit of type information — `check_allowed_channel_add_policy(allowed_raw:
&str,
..)` cannot represent "unset", while production reads `env::var(..) ->
Result`,
where unset and `""` are different states. A helper whose parameter type
can't
represent all of production's input states isn't testing production's
states —
it's testing a subset it silently chose. Same family as the
struct-literal
descriptor and the fixture drift: the test and the thing it tests
agreeing with
each other, rather than the test measuring the thing. Neither defect is
in this
PR's diff (`git diff --name-only 28ae6cd21 <head> -- crates/buzz-cli` is
empty); both are now filed as NIP-34 issues on this repo: the fail-open
+
fork-helper defect at issue event `0524a4113f2d97fd…` and the respond-to
self-lock at `e32837498969b5e7…` (filed 2026-08-02 after Quinn measured
that
no prior filing existed — zero hits on GitHub `block/buzz` open *or*
closed
and zero on the relay's kind:1621 issues, against working positive
controls). The prescription was itself
mutation-tested before being written down: repairing the fork's
signature
(`Option<&str>` + assertion → `None`) still let the reintroduced
production
bug ship 274-green — an expressive fork is still a fork; it never
executes
production. So the `buzz-cli` fix has **three parts and one explicit
keep**:
drop the production filter; **delete** the helper and point its tests at
the
real `cmd_set_add_policy` (which self-discriminates by error variant —
`Usage` = refused, `Network(BadScheme)` = passed the gate — no relay
needed);
serialize the env-var tests behind one
**`tokio::sync::Mutex::const_new`**
lock taken with `.lock().await`, including the pre-existing `:1362`
integration test (the fork was silently buying test isolation — without
the
lock, parallel runs flake nondeterministically; a `std::sync::Mutex`
held
across `.await` trips `clippy::await_holding_lock` under `-D warnings`);
and
**keep** the then-dead `!allowed.is_empty()` clause with a comment
saying
why. It is unreachable-false (`split(',')` never yields an empty vec),
but it
is the only thing that keeps the reintroduced production bug detectable
—
mutation-tested: on a tree that deletes the clause, reintroducing the
empty-filter bug survives 275/0, because `""`/`","`/`" "` refuse either
way
and the filter goes semantically inert. Dead code can be load-bearing
for
tests: "provably unreachable" is an argument about behavior, never about
coverage. When a helper forks production, the fix has to delete the
fork:
any change that leaves two implementations standing can only ever be
verified against the one the tests call. *Final shape:* the keep and the
broad lock are both artifacts of the fork surviving in some form. The
extraction variant (Dawn, mutation-tested at `60007fda4`) removes the
tension: extract one `check_channel_add_policy_allowed(Option<&str>,
&str)`
that **production calls**, with the `Option` placed at the env boundary
where the `Result<String, VarError>` bit actually lives. 5/6 mutants
killed; the empty-filter survivor is proven **equivalent** (exhaustive
6174-pair check, 0 divergences, with a diverging negative control;
independently re-derived by a second generator — different tokens and
shape — 0 divergences on admitted policies, 500 on a non-admitted
control),
not a coverage hole — on a one-implementation tree there is no fork left
to
witness, so no dead clause needs keeping. One scope line on that
equivalence: it is **caller-conditional**, a property of the only
current
caller, not of the gate function — `cmd_set_add_policy`'s own match at
`:1027-1034` admits only three policies before the gate runs; a second
caller reaching the gate with arbitrary strings resurrects m1 as a real
hole. The lock does not disappear, it
narrows (Dawn's own correction, caught by Mari): lock exactly the tests
that mutate the process env — three-plus-one on a fork tree, two on the
extraction tree — behind one `tokio::sync::Mutex`, and the lock is part
of
the assertion, not hygiene: with it deleted, the gate test fails 8/8
runs
deterministically by receiving `Network(BadScheme)` where it expects
`Usage` — the unset test's `remove_var` clobbers the other's `set_var`,
and
**the gate test passes straight through the gate**, a false negative on
the
exact authz assertion the test exists to make. State it as an outcome:
these two tests must not observe each other's env writes. 276/0 stable
across 5 parallel runs, clippy `-D warnings` clean; independently
verified
(patch applied to a second worktree: result blob `d67e584be` matches the
patch index, full mutant matrix reproduces row for row). One new row no
earlier
prescription covered: collapsing unset into `Some("")` fails **closed**
—
an unconfigured deployment refuses every policy — killed by the unset
test.
Patch: `OUTBOX/BUZZ_CLI_ADD_POLICY_GATE_EXTRACT_FIX.patch`. The filed
issue
(`0524a411…`) carries the fork-shape prescription; whoever picks it up
should prefer the extraction shape, drop the dead-clause keep with it,
and
keep part 3 outcome-shaped: serialize whichever tests mutate the env.
## Verification (final HEAD `60007fda4`)
- Full touched-package suites at each integration merge (log in plan
file).
At candidate parent `00e5b5fe9`: buzz-backend-kubernetes 154,
buzz-acp 673, desktop tauri 2100+3, pnpm 3908, workspace clippy/fmt/tsc
all clean. The only delta to `60007fda4` is one character in
`scripts/test-k8s-sprig-image-live.sh` (heredoc escape so the readlink
probe evaluates pod-side, not host-side at render); `crates/` tree hash
is byte-identical at both SHAs, so the Rust receipts attach by tree
identity. buzz-backend-kubernetes suite re-run in-shell at
`HEAD == 60007fda4`: 154 passed.
- Adversarial one-HEAD gate (Sami): guard matrix 12/12, predicate
mutants
7/7, doomed-invocation finding closed end-to-end; tree-hash carry to
`60007fda4` confirmed (crates/buzz-backend-kubernetes blob unchanged).
- Live-local pass per TESTING.md + skill-buzz-testing (Perci, at
`60007fda4`): explicit `docker-desktop` context, digest-qualified image
imported into node containerd `k8s.io` namespace, pull policy `Never`;
pod printed `DIGEST_ABI_OK`, `resolved_spec` and `image_id` both the
exact requested digest, script exit 0. Dedicated per-run namespace,
ownership labels on every object, scoped cleanup verified empty after.
- Implementation review (Wren) at `60007fda4`: 9.6 minimalness /
9.4 elegance / 9.3 correctness, no blocker.
- `origin/eva/k8s-backend` == `60007fda4` (ls-remote verified; SHA
identity is byte identity).

Tal here, human. Trying to help. This bug bugged me...
## Summary
A repository's first branch becomes its symbolic `HEAD`, and Git's
bare-repository default rejects deleting that branch even when another
branch survives.
This change:
- sets `receive.denyDeleteCurrent=ignore` only for the ephemeral `git
receive-pack` process
- preserves the existing server-side `core.hooksPath` override and
authorization hook
- lets the existing CAS publication logic select a surviving branch as
the next manifest `HEAD`
- adds regression coverage using a real stateless `git receive-pack`
request and a manifest HEAD-selection test
This lets users replace an accidental default branch without deleting
the object-storage manifest pointer.
### Related issue
Fixes#3572
### Testing
- `cargo test -p buzz-relay api::git::` (128 passed, 5 ignored)
- `just ci`
- live E2E roundtrip against a release relay with PostgreSQL, Redis, and
MinIO:
- created a repository through signed Nostr events
- verified authorized pushes and rejected unauthorized clone/push
- pushed a surviving `master` branch
- deleted the active `main` branch over authenticated Smart HTTP
- freshly cloned the repository and verified `master` became HEAD,
`origin/main` was absent, and repository content remained intact
