The GPUI front end compiles to WebAssembly and runs the whole client in the browser — session, store and window. It can attach to an oxidezapd instead, and that is still worth preferring where you have one, but it no longer needs one. .github/workflows/pages.yml builds the page, publishes it to GitHub Pages, and gives every open pull request a preview under /pr/{number}/ that is removed when it closes.

It pairs, and it carries a conversation. In Chromium against the published bundle, with no daemon anywhere: cross-origin isolation on, the store opened through its VFS, the client dialling wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat, the QR drawn, a phone scanning it, and messages going out and coming back. The store round-trips: a page that has never been visited opens the VFS holding 0 files, one that comes back after the tab closed opens it holding 1. A second tab is refused the account and says so.

The last thing between the handshake and the QR is worth reading, because everything a log could show was working. The socket opened, the handshake completed (XX), the server's <pair-device> arrived with its six refs, and the client acked it. Then ping, pong, and nothing — no code on screen, forever.

wacore::runtime::AbortHandle tells its two endings apart by whether it calls the closure it boxes: abort() calls it, Drop calls it, and detach() drops it uncalled. The browser runtime cancelled by dropping the sender — and the sender lived inside that closure — so .detach(), the one call whose entire purpose is "run this to completion", cancelled the task before its first poll. The tokio runtime builds the same handle around a JoinHandle, and dropping one of those detaches, so a desktop never saw it.

It was not one feature. runtime.spawn(…).detach() is how the library runs nearly everything fire-and-forget — the QR rotation, inbound message handling, the notification handlers, the bot's own subscriptions — so on a page every one of them died before running. What survived is what is not spawned: the node_io loop, and the pair-device handler itself, which acks inline. Hence a client that connects perfectly and pairs never. net::abort_requested is the rule stated once and tested on the host, where the semantics live entirely in a oneshot and need no browser: a value sent is an abort, a sender dropped is a detachment and waits forever.

Where the session lives

One WhatsApp session per user over one SQLite file is the invariant the daemon split exists to protect. A browser has neither raw TCP nor a filesystem, so the first version of this made the page a window and nothing else.

That constraint turns out to be about processes, not browsers. So the daemon is a library that builds for wasm32-unknown-unknown, and the page starts one inside itself: daemon::embedded::start runs the state hub and the session bridge and hands the front end one end of a tokio::io::duplex. serve_client was already generic over AsyncRead + AsyncWrite, so no protocol code is repeated — the page speaks the same frames down a pipe that the desktop speaks down a socket.

That daemon is a singleton, and learning why is half the design. A client ending is a client ending — a resync, a reload — and on a desktop that leaves the daemon running with the account open. Tying the account claim to one connection did the opposite: it freed the lock while the session and store were still live, and the front end's own retry took it straight back and opened a second session over the same database. Starting the daemon and connecting a client are separate things here too now, so a reconnect no longer even reopens the store.

Which tab holds the account is claimed rather than assumed: a Web Lock taken with ifAvailable, so a second tab is told now rather than queued. The refusal has to survive the trip up — it reaches the window as ErrorKind::AlreadyExists and lands in AppState::Refused rather than Error, because the error screen promises to keep trying and offers Work offline, and all of that is false for a refusal. The lock is the page's rather than a caller's, too: a grant handed back to whoever asked for it is one a Retry can release, and the next ask then lands inside that release and is told another tab owns the account.

The store decides its own shape. SQLite on the web has no path, only a VFS; store/web.rs installs the relaxed-IndexedDB one and preloads the database before any connection is opened — forgetting that is not a failure anybody would see, since a browser without the VFS opens the database in memory quite happily and loses the account with the tab. What it costs is when a write lands rather than whether it does. The durable alternative is OPFS through a synchronous access handle, which exists in a dedicated worker and nowhere else; that is the hardening, and it changes nothing above store/.

What only running it could find

None of this is visible to cargo, and several of them passed clean CI runs on the way through.

  • tokio::time compiles for this target and does not work on it. Its clock is std::time::Instant::now() with nothing under it, so the first sleep or timeout traps — "time not implemented on this platform" — and takes the task with it. The daemon's handshake window was the first thing a page reached, so every embedded connection died there. exec::sleep and exec::with_timeout are where waiting lives now. The table in AGENTS.md used to say time was fine here; it had been measured by compiling.
  • chrono::Utc::now() reached SystemTime::now for the same reason — wasmbind is one of chrono's own defaults and this workspace turns defaults off.
  • wacore's wall clock defaults to epoch on wasm and warns once. Nothing fails visibly: messages are stamped 1970 and a fresh account looks like one that has been quiet for fifty-six years.
  • r2d2 spawns OS threads and a page has none, so SqliteStore::new died before opening anything — after which all thirty-seven of the store's query paths would have died the same way on spawn_blocking. And twice, because the pool's management threads are a second spawn behind the connection ones, which scheduled-thread-pool unwraps. Both are the library's to answer and it does: on the web a "pool" is one connection behind a lock, keeping r2d2's own spelling so the store above it is written once.
  • The relaxed-IndexedDB VFS refuses PRAGMA synchronous at anything but off, and the store's default asks for normal, so the connection was rejected while being configured.
  • ChatStore::new spawned its writer queue through tokio::spawn, one line after the database finally opened.
  • The client version cannot be fetched from WhatsApp. The library reads client_revision out of https://web.whatsapp.com/sw.js, and WhatsApp sends no Access-Control-Allow-Origin — so the browser blocks the request before it leaves and the session never gets past "failed to resolve app version". The two halves disagree in a way worth stating: the socket to wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws/chat opens from that same origin quite happily, because a WebSocket upgrade is not subject to the same-origin policy and a fetch is. The library resolves it per target now, off a bundle where the same revision is published cross-origin, with its compiled-in constant as the fallback.
  • WebGPU can pass its own probe and then fail building a pipeline. On an ordinary Intel/Mesa laptop through a released Chrome, Auto selects it, initializes it, and then CreateGraphicsPipelines failed with VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN … [RenderPipeline "quads"] reaches wgpu as a panic and the device is lost — with the session behind it still opening the store and building the client. Everything works except the part anybody can see, and a probe cannot catch it because the probe passed. WebGL is the default now; ?backend=webgpu opts in, ?backend=auto restores the old behaviour.
  • The transport wrote to the socket while it was still CONNECTING. A browser throws InvalidStateError on send in that state — it does not queue — and the library writes its ClientHello the same turn the socket is created. The writer treated the throw as fatal, tore the socket down, and reconnected forever without putting a byte on the wire. This was always a race and had simply been winning: the sw.js fetch above was long enough for the socket to open underneath it, so the fix for the CORS wall is what turned a latent bug into a total one. Found by re-running the page after a green CI run, which is the only thing that could have found it.
  • A fix is not deployed until the service worker agrees. coi-serviceworker.js exists because cross-origin isolation needs two response headers GitHub Pages will not set, and the price is that it caches the bundle: an ordinary reload of a published page serves the old .js, so a build that fixed something looks exactly like one that did not. That cost a round trip on the AbortHandle fix above — the corrected bundle was live and read as no fix at all. The hash in the filename is how to tell; trunk serve has no service worker, which is the other reason to reproduce there first.

The shape of it

The platform split stays where AGENTS.md says it lives — ipc/endpoint/ and daemon/listener/. A third transport joined them rather than becoming a third place.

  • oxidezap-ipc gains a Link: the write half of a connection with the platform's own object behind it. Load-bearing on the web, where a web_sys::WebSocket is neither Send nor Sync and so cannot be held beside a front end's state at all — it holds a queue into the task that owns one instead. The read halves stay apart on purpose (a process parks a thread, a page is handed a callback) and meet at session/frames.rs, which is the whole protocol state machine, written once.
  • oxidezap-daemon is a library and the binary around it. The library is what the daemon does; the binary is the process — socket, tray, signals, the directory it claims.
  • oxidezap-session grows net/, exec/, video/ and store/: the transport and HTTP client a page must supply, where its tasks run and where it waits, the camera, and where the one SQLite file lives. Above them the session names no platform.
  • oxidezap-gui grows platform/, and main.rs has no cfg in it at all.

A page cancels nothing, and that is its own category of bug. A desktop session ends by dropping the runtime it was built on, which takes every task with it; spawn_local is cancelled by nothing. So the session holds a watch sender its long-lived children wait on — a watch rather than a notify because dropping it is the signal, so however run_client returns the children wake, and there is no notification a task can be too late to register for. And the web executor counts what it spawns, so join waits for the work rather than only for the session. That counter is deliberately not every task on the agent: spawn is what the daemon uses too, its bridge is a task on the same loop, and that bridge is what calls join — from inside itself — to decide whether the database may be deleted. Counting every task would count the caller, and "clear data and pair again" would refuse every time.

Plugins

Plugins are the daemon's, so a page gets whichever daemon's it is talking to. Attached to an oxidezapd, it gets them whole — panels, header buttons, and the permission prompt each one asks — over the same protocol frames the desktop window uses, with no second implementation of any of it.

Holding its own session it gets none, and says which of the two it is. wasmi compiles for this target; the interpreter was never the obstacle. The host gives each plugin an OS thread and a bounded queue it blocks on, and a tab has neither — the same wall r2d2 hit — and there is no directory to discover a module from and no file to keep an approval in. Builder::spawn failing is already handled gracefully, so a page that tried would come up with a list of plugins that had all failed identically, which is worse than none: daemon::plugins::start answers Plugins::none with the reason written down rather than arriving there because a browser has no HOME. The front end is the mirror of that one decision and not a second one (platform::plugins_unavailable), because "None loaded: drop a .wasm in the plugins folder and restart" is advice about a folder a tab does not have.

Security, worth a careful read

A WebSocket is not subject to the same-origin policy. Any page in the user's browser can open one to ws://127.0.0.1, and the daemon's bridge would otherwise hand it the message history and the ability to send.

The admission check is a token, not the origin. A Unix socket sits in a 0700 directory and answers a peer uid, so reaching it is proof of being this user. A loopback TCP port is proof of nothing: every account on the machine can connect, and every one of them can write Origin: http://localhost, which is a string. So the daemon keeps a token in that same per-user directory — drawn once and reused, so a bookmarked URL survives a restart — required on the upgrade and on media alike, compared without an early return so the matching prefix cannot be timed. A request without it gets a 404, and so does one from an unnamed origin: wrong origin, wrong token and nothing listening are one answer, or the origin check becomes a discovery oracle for the thing the token exists to keep private.

The file it lives in is created, never opened: create(true) opens whatever is already at the path and mode is only consulted for a file being made, so a regular file another local account got there first would have been written this session's bearer token. And it is believed only in the shape the draw writes — 48 hex characters — because a partial write leaves a short credential, which is the one malformed value worse than none.

The token travels in the fragment, never the query. A page's query string is part of the request line, so ?daemon=…?token=… hands the credential to whoever served the page — for the hosted build, GitHub's servers and their logs — before a line of this code runs. Nothing prints the token either: not the daemon's log, not the console on success or rejection, and not the error string the window draws.

A malformed #daemon is a configuration error, not a default. It used to return the same None as "nobody named one", which is now the signal to run a session in this page — so a typo, or a daemon refused for exactly the reason the check exists, quietly opened an account against the origin's own store. NamedDaemon has three cases because there are three, and the rejection is settled.

Three decisions that are yours, not mine

  1. The daemon is not authenticated to the page. The token proves the page to the daemon; nothing proves the daemon to the page. Another local account can bind the predictable port first, take the token from a bookmark opened while the real daemon is down, and reuse it. A Unix socket has a peer uid and a TCP port has nothing, and a browser cannot ask a port who owns it. Closing it means mutual authentication, and the two shapes trade against each other: a server-first challenge discloses nothing to an impostor but spends the 404; a proof in the query keeps the 404 but is replayable unless the daemon remembers nonces. Either is a wire change on both ends plus the media path. Written up beside endpoint_url and in the README.
  2. A preview shares the deployment's origin. Origin-scoped storage does not know about directories, so code under /pr/<number>/ can read the deployed site's database. A preview does not hold an account by default and #preview-session is the opt-in — but that is a guard against wandering in, not a boundary: a preview is built from its own branch's source and can delete the check. What bounds it is that previews are same-repository only, and opening such a branch already requires push access. Separating them properly needs a second Pages site, because that is a second origin and a directory can never be one.
  3. Durability is relaxed until the session moves into a dedicated worker and the store to OPFS. A tab killed between a commit and its flush loses that commit — a message that comes back on the next hydration, or a ratchet that has to re-establish. Device credentials also live in the origin's storage once the page holds the account, where a local daemon would keep them in a 0700 directory. That is the reason a self-hosted origin is worth preferring to a public one.

std::thread::spawn ❌ — which is
  • Voice notes play — the browser decodes Opus itself, so oxidezap-audio has a real WebAudio backend.
  • Recording is refused up front, because capturing samples nothing can encode is a UI that always fails at the end.
  • Video is drawn as unavailable, not as a failure, in a message and on a call.
  • Calls need a daemon. A page running its own session refuses every call action: the microphone and the codec are the same C libraries a browser has none of. Declining should still reach the caller — a <terminate> needs no codec, and this repo is explicit that ending a call is something you say — but it cannot from here, and that was measured rather than assumed: enabling the library's voip feature for wasm answers with mio's own compile_error!, because the whole VoIP stack arrives together. A refused accept is reported as CallUnrecorded so it leaves no zero-second call in the conversation.
  • Plugins need a daemon too, for the reasons above.
  • A blocked download admits it to the log and not yet to the person who asked; the app's only visible error state tears down the connected view, which is worse than silence for this. It needs a transient surface, designed once — recorded in AGENTS.md rather than invented here.
  • Nothing evicts the media a conversation is holding. Both media budgets bound what is cached, not what the interface retains. Older than this branch and not made worse by it, but a tab has a ceiling where a desktop window merely grows.
  • Settings reads 0 B for the database on a page until it comes from PRAGMA page_count rather than stat.

Incidental wins for the desktop

  • The front end no longer depends on whatsapp-rust: it used it to reach two type modules and was dragging a Tokio runtime, a transport and the whole VoIP stack behind them.
  • smol is gone; the timer call sites go through one platform::sleep.
  • The theme persists on the web too — platform::prefs is "where is the document, what does it say, has it changed", answered by a path and an mtime on one side and browser storage and a content hash on the other.
  • The call registry is one lock, and that is a correctness change rather than tidying. A call moves between collections — ringing, accepting, live, cancelled — and every invariant spans two at once, so with a mutex each, every transition was a check in one followed by an act in another. A peer's <terminate> landing in that gap left a live handle filed behind the CallEnded the window already had; a cancel landing in the outgoing equivalent was consumed before it was written, and the abandoned attempt rang on at the far end. Narrowing the first window was the wrong move: a gap between two locks cannot be closed from outside them, only made rarer. There is one lock now, and it is a std one so a request can be stamped on the caller's thread before its task exists — which is where the last of these races actually lived.

Written in Rust, not JavaScript

Every browser API here is bound through web-sys/js-sys: the WebSocket, fetch, setTimeout, WebAudio, localStorage, Web Locks, the download anchor. The one piece of hand-written JavaScript is web/coi-serviceworker.js, and only because cross-origin isolation needs two response headers that GitHub Pages will not set — a SharedArrayBuffer, and so gpui_web's whole background executor, depends on them.

There is no unsafe in the web code either, and one round of review is why. net/web.rs had ten unsafe impl Send + Sync resting on "a page is one thread" — and this is the build where that is false, since rebuilding the standard library with atomics is what build-std is for. Nine were never needed; the tenth is the socket, which now lives in the task that opened it behind a channel.

Review

Around fifty findings across a dozen rounds, fixed or answered on the thread. The ones worth knowing about:

The media cache took five rounds, and the fifth is the one that mattered. Each earlier fix patched a case — exempt an entry from its own sweep, then from the next write, then from a wipe, then bound the abandoned ones — and each drew the next finding, because they were all built on a boolean. A boolean cannot express "two askers", and the key is content-addressed, so one entry can owe two deliveries. claims: usize is what that flag was always approximating. Delivery decrements it rather than destroying the entry, because a delivery is not a destruction: another request for the same content is answered with the same key, and a save that lost the browser's activation is about to ask again. A claim is a preference and not an exemption — the budget still wins in the end, since a delivery that never arrives releases nothing.

Four I declined, with the reasoning on the thread. A suggestion to merge the download and sideband deadlines buys no outcome — the abandoned-caller case is already handled by is_pending, and the two budgets answer different questions. A report that the HTTP client's two buffers "coexist against the module's 1 GiB maximum" has the mechanism wrong: array_buffer() allocates in the JavaScript heap and only the copied Vec lives in the wasm module's linear memory, which is what that ceiling bounds. A report that a second store/web.rs prepare() leaves wipe() holding a stale VFS handle has the dependency wrong: install registers the VFS only if it is not registered already and otherwise hands back another RelaxedIdbUtil over the same &'static VfsAppData, so two handles are one pool. And a request to give the native media cache delivery ownership: the window is real once the reader is a browser, but the budget sweep cannot be what closes it — it drops the oldest, and a key just promised was just written — so the trigger is a ClearMediaCache in that millisecond, and the cost is one refetch of a row the renderer already draws as an offer to download. Each is now a comment or an AGENTS.md entry where the false sentence used to be.

Earlier rounds: the web player raced its own decodes; closures leaked per node and per socket; a refused SendAudio left its staged voice note forever; --web-allow swallowed a following flag; read_line in a select! could forward half a frame as a whole message; a socket close that left the writer parked meant later requests queued against a connection nothing would answer; a refusal for a full daemon wrote a protocol frame at a browser still waiting for its 101; the Web Lock's callback was owned by the granted claim, so two Retry clicks freed a Closure the browser still held. And several were mine, in publication: the publish job checked its own script out of the pull request's revision and ran it with contents: write; --force-with-lease answers "has anyone else written here", which is not "is what I am about to write still the newest thing to say".

One thing no engineering here can fix: a browser sets Origin itself and forbids overriding it, on the socket and on fetch alike. The library sends WhatsApp Web's origin deliberately — omitting it "would make the connection more anomalous, not less" — and a page can do neither. Being accepted and being indistinguishable are different questions, and only the first is settled above.

Three crates learn that there may be no operating system underneath them.

`oxidezap-ipc` gains a `Link`: the write half of a daemon connection, with
the platform's own object behind it. A byte stream keeps its mutex; a page
gets a queue into the task that owns its WebSocket, because a
`web_sys::WebSocket` is neither `Send` nor `Sync` and a front end holds its
connection beside the rest of its state. The read half is deliberately not
unified — a process parks a thread, a page is handed a callback — so what the
two share is the frame handling above them rather than the wait.

`oxidezap-gui`'s session becomes `frames` (what a frame means), `sink` (where
events go), `media` (where the bytes a frame only names come from) and two
drivers around them. The state machine is written once. Three things also
leave: `whatsapp-rust`, which the window used for two type modules and which
dragged a Tokio runtime, a transport and a VoIP stack in behind them; `smol`,
whose timer is an epoll loop; and `openh264`/`oxidezap-audio` from the
unconditional dependency list.

`oxidezap-audio` gets a web backend. Playback is real — a browser decodes
Opus itself, so `decodeAudioData` takes exactly the bytes the daemon sends —
and recording is refused up front, because libopus is C and capturing samples
nothing can encode is a recording UI that always fails at the end.

Measured on nightly for wasm32-unknown-unknown: tokio's runtime, timers and
channels build; `net` does not, because mio has no backend there. `smol` does
not. `cpal` does. `opus` and `openh264` do not. `symphonia`, `mp4`, `ogg` and
`ringbuf` do.

The front end now compiles and links for wasm32-unknown-unknown. What that
cost, in the order the compiler asked for it:

Entropy. Both majors of `getrandom` in the graph refuse to build for the web
until a backend is named, so `oxidezap-core` names them for everyone.

Icons. `gpui-component-assets` embeds its set on the desktop and *downloads*
it on the web, one request per icon from an endpoint a static export does not
have — so a build script copies them in through the `links` variable the
crate already publishes, and they are embedded beside our own. A page that
draws empty buttons until the network answers is not a page that works
offline.

Video. `openh264` is C. The decoder is absent rather than stubbed halfway, so
a clip reports the error the player already draws instead of failing mid-play;
WebCodecs is the way back and is its own piece of work, noted where the
decoder used to be.

Preferences. `theme.json` is a file the desktop polls; a page has no file. Both
are now "where is the document, what does it say, has it changed", answered by
`platform::prefs` — a path and a modification time on one side, browser
storage and a content hash on the other. Settings edits and persists the
theme on the web as a result, rather than reporting it unavailable.

Entry point. One `main`, which `wasm-bindgen` turns into the module's start
function; the logger and the renderer backend are the only two `cfg`s in it,
and `?backend=webgl` exists because a page is served to machines nobody has
tested on.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RUTmmH3NpJkz5Kgxr7xeUk
A Unix socket and a named pipe are both things only a process on this machine
can open, which is why they were chosen — the endpoint carries control of a
WhatsApp session. A page can open neither. So there is now a third endpoint:
a loopback TCP port speaking the same newline-delimited JSON over a WebSocket,
with the media sideband that protocol depends on served over HTTP beside it.

None of the protocol is repeated. `serve_client` is already generic over
`AsyncRead + AsyncWrite`, and a WebSocket is neither — so the bridge hands it
one end of a `tokio::io::duplex` and moves lines across as text frames.
Handshake, version check, snapshot, state versioning and every request are the
same code the desktop connection runs.

It is off unless asked for, and that is the load-bearing part. A WebSocket is
not subject to the same-origin policy: any page in the user's browser can open
one to `ws://127.0.0.1` and would otherwise be handed the message history and
the ability to send. A Unix socket has file permissions and a peer uid to lean
on and this has neither, so `--web` turns it on, it binds to loopback, and it
refuses any origin that was not named with `--web-allow` — except localhost,
which is the developer's own `trunk serve`. Omitting the `Origin` header is
not a way around that check, because a page cannot omit it.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to af4c2

This PR adds a browser-hosted interface with WebSocket access to the user's local messaging daemon, but the connection token remains in the page URL and grants broad session control if disclosed. It also retains unresolved call-state, protocol-framing, connection-cleanup, admission-control, and test-build issues, so the PR is not ready to merge without fixes or explicit acceptance of these risks.

Restore test visibility and import Ordering.

mod tests is a sibling of mod cpal_output, so its accesses to total_samples, sample_rate, channels, and position violate Rust privacy. The glob import does not import cpal_output’s private Ordering. Add pub(super) to all four tested fields and import std::sync::atomic::Ordering in tests.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/audio/src/encoder.rs`:
- Around line 195-197: Update the private items in the opus_ogg module that are
referenced by tests, including helpers, constants, and the RecordedAudio import,
to be accessible from the sibling tests module via pub(super); alternatively,
nest tests inside opus_ogg while preserving existing test behavior.

In `@crates/audio/src/web/player.rs`:
- Around line 351-384: Replace permanent Closure::forget usage with owner-scoped
storage. In crates/audio/src/web/player.rs lines 351-384, store ended in Playing
beside node and take both in stop_node, covering every start invocation. In
crates/ipc/src/web.rs lines 84-141, retain onopen, onmessage, onclose, and
onerror beside the socket within spawn_local, then drop them when the task
closes the socket.
- Around line 181-221: Update the playback state and the play, stop, and
play_samples flows to maintain a generation counter; increment it whenever a new
playback supersedes pending work, capture the current generation when play
starts decoding, and have the spawned decode task discard its result unless that
generation is still current before updating state or calling start.
- Around line 114-141: Make progress() use the same clock as seek(): have
elapsed_secs() and total_secs() represent wall-clock playback time consistently,
or otherwise ensure their ratio equals buffer position divided by duration at
every speed. Update set_speed to rebase the current position and started_at
before changing playbackRate, preserving time already played at the old rate and
keeping subsequent progress and seeking consistent.

In `@crates/daemon/src/bridge.rs`:
- Around line 231-255: The bridge loop’s read_line operation is
cancellation-unsafe and can lose partially consumed daemon frames when the
inbound branch wins select!. Update the server-to-client reading flow around
from_server.read_line and the surrounding tokio::select! to preserve the pending
read across cancellations, or replace it with a cancellation-safe
read_until/LinesCodec approach consistent with server::read_frame, while
retaining complete-frame forwarding and newline trimming.

In `@crates/daemon/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 243-248: The --web-allow handling in the argument parser must not
consume another flag as an origin. Before advancing args, detect values
beginning with “--”; leave that flag for normal parsing, log a warning, and do
not add it to allowed_origins, while preserving valid origin handling. Add a
regression test covering “--web-allow --web”.

In `@crates/gui/src/app/recording.rs`:
- Line 35: The polling loops in recording.rs:35-35 and
input_area_view.rs:198-198 can busy-loop when wasm timer setup fails because
platform::sleep returns immediately. Update both sleep sites to use a delayed
fallback or terminate the task when timer setup fails, preserving normal timer
behavior when setup succeeds.

In `@crates/gui/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 81-84: Update the logger setup in main so it uses a single
initialization path instead of calling console_log::init_with_level after
gpui_platform::web_init; configure the desired log level through the
GPUI-provided initialization and handle or propagate the initializer’s result
rather than discarding it.

In `@crates/gui/src/session/frames.rs`:
- Around line 142-149: Update the Frames failure handling around
DaemonMessage::Error, finish, and the reader mismatch arms to use one helper
that removes any Awaiting::staged_key payload from Frames.media before invoking
Awaiting::failed or abandoning the request. Ensure all post-request failure
paths, including refused or mismatched SendAudio requests, discard staged media
while preserving existing error reporting.

In `@crates/gui/src/session/media.rs`:
- Around line 106-112: Update Fetched::read to retrieve the bytes for the
requested key without removing the entry, matching Directory::read and allowing
repeated reads within a frame; retain clear() as the lifecycle mechanism for
releasing entries.

In `@crates/gui/src/session/mod.rs`:
- Around line 440-454: Move the status-update documentation block so it directly
precedes mark_status_watched, leaving reload_history only its history-reload
documentation. Likewise, move the media-fetch documentation block to directly
precede download_downloadable_media, leaving storage_usage only its
storage-usage documentation; preserve the existing function implementations.

In `@crates/ipc/src/web.rs`:
- Around line 239-265: Update fetch_media to use an AbortController and the
existing with_timeout utility, aborting the fetch when the timeout expires and
returning a retryable Err instead of remaining pending. Also bound the held
buffer in connect so frames cannot accumulate indefinitely while the socket is
unopened.
- Around line 207-216: Update query_parameter so pairs without an '=' are
skipped and iteration continues searching later parameters, while preserving
decode_component handling for matching key/value pairs and the existing None
result when no match exists.
- Around line 164-179: Update endpoint_url and the media_base_url connection
flow to validate user-supplied URLs before connecting: permit only the expected
WebSocket scheme and require explicit user confirmation for non-loopback hosts,
while preserving the loopback default behavior. Ensure both daemon and media
endpoints undergo the same validation before their first connection.

Main gained paged history while this branch was splitting the session, so the
conflict was the split itself: `LoadMessages`, `LoadChats`, `Awaiting::Page`
and the two page frames now land in the pieces they belong to — the requests
on `Session`, the frames in `frames`, the page's media in `media_keys` so a
page's photos are fetched with it the way a load's are.

Both new transports move to the two places /AGENTS.md says the platform split
lives. `ipc::web` becomes `endpoint::web` beside the byte-stream transports,
which are themselves now `endpoint::stream` rather than the module root; the
daemon's bridge becomes `listener::web`. Neither is a new boundary any more.

Fixes from review, each a real defect:

- The web player raced itself. A second play inside a decode's window
  installed the first one's buffer on top when it resolved, leaving two nodes
  connected to the destination and only one reachable; a seek's old node
  reported the clip finished a moment after it restarted. Both are answered by
  a generation on the state, which the decode and the `ended` listener check.
- Its clock disagreed with itself: `elapsed_secs` measured the clip's timeline
  and `total_secs` divided by the rate, so a note at 2× hit 100% halfway.
- Closures were forgotten to the JS heap per node and per socket, so scrubbing
  and reconnecting leaked. They are held by what owns them now.
- `Fetched::read` consumed the entry, so a frame naming one content-addressed
  key on two messages drew the second as a download offer.
- A refused `SendAudio` left its staged voice note in the cache forever, and
  each retry staged another. One failure path in `frames` drops it.
- `--web-allow` swallowed a following flag, which both lost the flag and put
  it in the allow list.
- One valueless query parameter made `?daemon=` unreachable.
- The bridge bypassed the client cap entirely; both transports now draw on one
  count. `read_line` in a `select!` is not cancellation safe and could forward
  half a frame as a whole message, so each direction is its own task.
- A client sending no `Origin` is served only on a loopback bind: a page
  cannot suppress the header, so anything that does is not subject to the one
  check a TCP port has.

Verified against a running daemon: an unnamed origin is refused, the Pages
origin completes the handshake and receives the hello with its snapshot,
localhost is served without being named, and the media route answers with CORS.

`web/` is the page: an `index.html` that names the binary, a trunk config,
and a build script carrying the three things that are not defaults — nightly,
`build-std`, and the public URL a project page needs so the generated glue
does not fetch the wasm from the account root.

`.github/workflows/pages.yml` builds it on every pull request and publishes
from main only, with the deploy token scoped to the job that deploys rather
than to the much larger build beside it. It also checks the bundle is
complete: trunk rewrites `index.html` to hashed names, and a mismatch there
is a blank page rather than a failed build.

The one piece of hand-written JavaScript in the tree is the service worker,
and it is there because cross-origin isolation needs two response headers
that a static host will not set — a `SharedArrayBuffer`, and so gpui_web's
whole background executor, depends on them. Everything else on the page is
Rust through web-sys.

Also from review, and all defects rather than polish: a page's downloads went
to a filesystem it does not have (a blob and a download anchor now, behind
`platform::download`, with the desktop's path logic moved there intact); two
tabs minted the same optimistic message id, because they are one process with
one process id and both counters start at zero; `platform::sleep` returned
immediately where no timer could be armed, turning every polling loop into a
spin that freezes the tab; the logger was initialized twice, so the second
one silently failed and left the first one's level; `?daemon=` was taken on
trust, which made a link a way to point the window at somebody else's server;
and a media fetch had no timeout, so a bridge that accepted and never
answered stalled that frame's media for good.

jlucaso1 and others added 2 commits August 28, 2026 04:10
Two bugs, both found by loading the bundle in a browser rather than by
reading it.

The window never opened. gpui's `Application::run` keeps the app alive on its
own stack frame, which works where `Platform::run` blocks for the life of the
process — and in a browser the run loop belongs to the browser, so `run`
invokes the launch callback and returns, and the app is dropped on the way
out. The page drew nothing and logged one line: "app was released".
`run_embedded` is gpui's answer for exactly that shape, and the handle it
returns is what holds the app; the page is the process here, so it is leaked
deliberately.

The connection was opened on a worker. `retry_connection` went through gpui's
background executor, which on the web is a real worker with no `window` — so
`?daemon=` was silently ignored, every media fetch would have failed for want
of something to fetch from, and the socket's own callbacks fired somewhere
the rest of the front end was not. There is nothing to move off the thread on
a page anyway: it cannot start a daemon, and the socket opens asynchronously.

Trunk is also pointed at the crate's manifest, because it looks for one
beside `index.html` and the page is not a crate; and `build-std` reaches
cargo through its environment, because trunk cannot forward arguments and a
config-file `[unstable]` would apply to the native build too.

Verified by loading the bundle in Chromium against a running daemon:
cross-origin isolation on, one canvas, WebGPU and WebGL backends both
initializing, "attaching to the daemon at ws://127.0.0.1:9527/ws" followed by
"the daemon answered" — and the interface moving from its first loading step
to "Connecting to WhatsApp" as the daemon's snapshot reached it. With no
daemon listening, the same page reports "daemon connection closed" instead,
which is the path that was silent while the socket lived on a worker.

The release build failed where the debug one did not: wasm-opt validates
before it optimizes and refuses anything it was not told to expect, so it
stopped at the first `memory.init` with "Bulk memory operations require bulk
memory" and again at the first atomic. Those are not optimizations to opt
into — they are the shape of a module built for threads — so `index.html`
names them beside the target that produces them.

With that, a release bundle is 18 MB of wasm against the debug build's 104,
and it runs: loaded in Chromium against a daemon it draws the full interface,
animation included, and reports "the daemon answered".

Do not leave paging in Loading when no session exists.

AppState::Offline still renders the paging callers while self.client is None. These methods set Paging::Loading, skip the request, and receive no PageLost event. Ordinary reconnect preserves this state, so the list can remain blocked. Restore the previous state or reset it when no session exists.

- Around line 103-114: Update the listener startup validation around the
non-loopback check in the web bridge to reject any bind address that is not
loopback, preventing unauthenticated remote WebSocket access through
client-controlled Origin headers. Preserve loopback binding behavior and replace
the warning-only path with the established configuration-error or
startup-failure mechanism.
- Around line 103-114: Update the listener setup around the non-loopback check
in the web bridge to prevent remote plain-TCP WebSocket access: either reject
non-loopback addresses and keep the service loopback-only, or require
authenticated TLS before accepting remote connections. Preserve local loopback
operation and ensure no unencrypted session traffic can reach non-loopback
clients.

Seven more from review, and the theme running through most of them is that
this build knows at compile time what it cannot do and was finding out at the
last possible moment instead.

- The microphone was offered on a platform with no Opus encoder, and pressing
  it logged a line nobody sees. `oxidezap_audio::CAN_RECORD` is asked before
  the control is drawn, so it is disabled with the reason in its tooltip.
- A video was refused by its decoder's constructor — after the daemon had
  downloaded the whole clip from WhatsApp and pushed it across the loopback.
  `video::CAN_DECODE` is asked before the download is started.
- The web player's decode is a promise, and the speed control restarts a clip
  and immediately puts it back where it was: both of those arrived before
  there was anything to put back, so the note began again from zero and a
  paused one started playing by itself. The seek and the pause are recorded
  and applied when the buffer lands.
- A decode that failed left the completion receiver unresolved and the player
  with no buffer, so every later tap called `resume`, which does nothing, and
  the note stayed stuck until something else was selected.
- The service worker reloaded on `updatefound`, which fires when the worker
  starts *installing*: the reload landed on another uncontrolled navigation
  that saw the same installing registration and got no further event, leaving
  the page without a `SharedArrayBuffer` until somebody reloaded by hand.
  `controllerchange` is the event that means the worker is serving us.
- The loading notice sat at `z-index: -1`, which is behind the body's own
  opaque background — so the one diagnostic a stalled load has was invisible.
- The client cap was claimed at accept, on a port that also serves media: with
  thirty-two windows attached, every one of their own photo fetches would have
  been refused. It is claimed for the WebSocket upgrade only.

Verified again end to end with release binaries on both sides: the bundle
attaches and the daemon answers.

The web bridge serves a cached payload straight off disk, and `tokio::fs`
reached it only because something in the Linux-only half of the dependency
graph turns that feature on. So Linux built and macOS and Windows did not,
with five errors that all come back to a module that is not there. Declared
where it is used.

The download test also mutated `XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR`, which is process-wide
while the rest of the suite runs beside it. The part worth testing — that a
name off the wire cannot leave the directory it is joined to — is pure, so
`safe_name` is now its own function and the tests touch neither the
filesystem nor the environment. They cover the reserved Windows device names
too, which nothing did before.

The `?daemon=` guard was doing URL work by splitting on characters, and a
crafted value walked straight through it:
`wss://127.0.0.1:9527@evil.example/ws`. Everything before the `@` is
userinfo, so a reader looking for the last colon finds `127.0.0.1` and calls
it loopback while the socket opens to `evil.example`. It goes through
`web_sys::Url` now — the browser's own parser, which is the only answer that
matters, since the browser is what resolves the URL. `media_base_url` too:
deriving it by trimming a suffix produced `http://host/ws?token=x/media` for
a socket URL with a query, pointing every photo at the socket endpoint.

The bridge no longer binds anywhere but loopback. It warned before, and a
warning is not a mitigation: off this machine the `Origin` header is a string
the client chooses — a program that is not a browser writes what it likes —
and the traffic is plain TCP besides. Remote access is a tunnel's job, which
is a deliberate act by someone who can see what they are exposing.

Its WebSocket also assembled messages up to the library's 64 MiB default
before handing them to a server that refuses anything over one megabyte. The
allocation was the cost and it happened on this side, so the limits are set
from the server's own budget.

And three smaller ones: the loading notice needed a stacking level rather
than a negative one *and* a canvas above it, because `#loading` is positioned
and a positioned element paints over an unpositioned canvas whatever the
document order — the previous fix would have hidden the window. A Pages
deploy gated only on the event type would publish unmerged code from a
`workflow_dispatch` on any branch. And the paging calls set `Loading` before
checking for a session, so with no daemon the list parked there with nothing
that could ever answer — reachable on the desktop and ordinary on the web,
where a page cannot start one.

P2 Badge Namespace outgoing-call placeholders across browser tabs

When two tabs initiate calls within the same millisecond, both create the same placeholder ID even though the new web front end explicitly supports multiple tabs. The daemon accepts the first request, then handles the second as busy and marks that shared placeholder unrecorded; because it also identifies the live first call, the eventual first call can lose its local history record, and its later OutgoingCallStarted rename is indistinguishable from the rejected attempt. Include front_end_id() or an equivalent per-tab component in call placeholders, just as optimistic message IDs now do.

A branch rather than the Pages artifact deployment: an artifact replaces
the whole site, so there is nowhere to put a preview beside it. One
`gh-pages` branch carries both — the site at the root, a preview per open
pull request under `pr/<n>/` — and each publish is a single orphan commit,
because a twenty-megabyte bundle per push on an ordinary history would
grow the repository for ever and deleting the directory would not give
any of it back.

A preview is only worth having if it goes away, so closing the pull
request removes its directory, merged or not. Publishing the site keeps
`pr/` — otherwise a push to main takes every open pull request's preview
down with it.

Forks build but do not publish. A fork's token is read-only, and the way
around that runs the base branch's workflow with write access against the
fork's code.

`the_startup_lock_is_exclusive` failed on macOS, twice, on a lock this
branch does not touch. It is not the lock: `Command::spawn` forks, and
between the fork and the exec the child holds a copy of every descriptor
the process has open — `O_CLOEXEC` closes them at the exec, not before.
So a `flock` taken on one of them is still held after its owner has
closed it, for as long as that window lasts, which is exactly what "lock
outlived its holder" reads like.

Reproduced outside the suite: against a single thread spawning a child in
a loop, a lock closed by its holder was still held in 103 of 2000 rounds,
on Linux. Linux had been getting away with it here; adding this branch's
tests to the same binary reshuffled which tests run beside which, and
macOS lost the toss.

Nothing to repair in the daemon — the window is microseconds wide and the
only lock in it is one the daemon holds for its whole run — so this is
the test binary running both halves at once. The launching tests already
serialized against each other for the launch slot; that mutex moves to
the crate root, where the lock test can take it too.

P2 Badge Skip cached videos when collecting web prefetch keys

When the daemon already holds a full video—for example, because a desktop window downloaded it—a hydrated row receives that download cache key, and this unconditional collector makes the web client transfer the entire clip before rendering the frame even though the build cannot decode video. The CAN_DECODE guard only protects user-initiated downloads; this independent history-prefetch path is fresh evidence that the earlier issue remains reachable. Filter unsupported media types before fetching so attaching a web window does not block state processing or retain a potentially large unusable MP4.

P2 Badge Deduplicate keys before sequential web prefetch

When several messages in one history/page frame reference the same content-addressed d-<hash> key, this pushes that key once per message and prefetch downloads the same payload sequentially each time. The new non-consuming Fetched::read preserves bytes for every consumer, but the remaining repeated-key list can still transfer a multi-megabyte attachment N times and delay application of all following frames; collect unique keys before starting the fetch loop.

P1 Badge Authenticate loopback clients across OS users

On a multi-user desktop, enabling --web exposes the loopback TCP port to every OS account, whereas the Unix socket is protected by its per-user directory and peer-UID check. This branch accepts an origin-less raw client, and such a client can also forge an automatically allowed localhost Origin, so another local account can receive message history and issue WhatsApp commands. The fresh case beyond the earlier non-loopback finding is that loopback is machine-wide rather than user-scoped; require a per-user capability or authentication instead of treating loopback reachability as equivalent to Unix-socket access.

…aits for

Six from review, and the first is the repository's own rule: the branches
that decide *where* a connection opens and *what* names this front end were
sitting in `app/mod.rs`, which makes the app a second platform boundary
every new target has to be taught about. `Session::attach` joins
`Session::connect`, which is the module whose whole job is that split, and
`front_end_id` becomes `platform/identity.rs`.

- A decode that fails after the user has moved on no longer ends the clip
  playing now. The success path already checked the generation; the failure
  path did not, and `give_up` finishes the run and takes the completion
  sender — so an abandoned note's rejection left the current one playing
  with nothing holding a handle to it.
- The playback tick asked only whether audio was playing, and on the web
  `play` returns while the browser is still decoding. It ended on its first
  pass and left the button, the clock and the waveform frozen for the whole
  note. `is_loading` is that gap, and it is false wherever the decoder is
  synchronous.
- An outgoing call's placeholder was a clock reading, which is one id per
  millisecond for the whole machine — and two tabs are one process. It is
  minted the way an optimistic bubble is now.
- A frame's media prefetch is sequential and each fetch carries its own
  timeout, so a hundred photos behind a stalled sideband was the better part
  of an hour with every state frame waiting behind it. One deadline covers
  the frame; what is late is offered as a download instead.
- The socket's callbacks were declared empty and filled in, which the
  compiler rightly called out as three values written before they are read.
  Each is bound to what its own block produces.

And two README lines that contradicted the paragraphs above them: localhost
is served without being named, and a remote daemon is reachable through a
tunnel.

P1 Badge Isolate PR previews from the production origin

Publishing same-repository PR bundles under /pr/<n>/ gives them the same browser origin as the production site because Origin contains only the scheme, host, and port. When a user has allowed the production Pages origin with --web-allow and opens a preview, that PR's unmerged JavaScript can therefore connect to the local daemon, read message history, and issue WhatsApp commands. Host previews on a separate origin or avoid publishing PR-controlled bundles beside the trusted site.

P2 Badge Reset the loading state when stopping web audio

After the first playback attempt, generation remains nonzero permanently; stop() then clears the buffer and sets finished to false, so this predicate reports that decoding is still in progress even though the decode was invalidated. When a web user manually stops a note or switches to other media, ensure_playback_tick consequently continues waking every 66 ms for the rest of the tab's lifetime. Track decoding explicitly or make stop() leave this predicate false.

P1 Badge Resume WebAudio while the click still grants activation

When the first voice note is not cached, toggle_audio_lazy waits for the daemon download before calling play(), so this resume() runs after the initiating click's transient user activation has expired. Browsers enforcing WebAudio autoplay restrictions then leave the new context suspended, but the returned promise is ignored and the decoded node is still marked playing; the result is a silent note whose ended event never fires. Resume or create the context synchronously in the original click handler, or handle the rejected/suspended result and require another explicit gesture.

P2 Badge Recognize bracketed IPv6 origins without an explicit port

When the page is served from a default-port IPv6 loopback URL such as http://[::1], the browser serializes the origin without a port, and this rsplit_once(':') splits the IPv6 literal itself, producing [: as the host. The daemon then rejects its own loopback page even though [::1] is listed as allowed below. Parse the origin as a URL or handle bracketed hosts before stripping a port.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L117-L124

The origin check was never an admission check and the module said as much
the wrong way round: it claimed a loopback bind was safe because "anything
that could connect could equally have opened the Unix socket". That is
false on a machine with more than one account. The socket sits in a `0700`
directory and answers a peer uid; a loopback TCP port is reachable by every
account on the box, and any of them can write `Origin: http://localhost`,
which is a string. So enabling `--web` handed another local user the
message history and the ability to send.

A token in that same per-user directory is what carries the guarantee
across. Drawn once and kept, so a bookmarked URL survives a restart.
Required on the upgrade and on media alike, because a photo is as much the
account's as a frame is. Compared without an early return, so the matching
prefix is not something a caller can time. Answered with a `404` rather
than a `403`: an endpoint the caller may not open has no reason to confirm
it is there. The daemon prints the URL to paste, since nothing else can
carry it to a page.

It is read in `main` rather than in `Options::parse`, which stays pure —
and `WebOptions` exists so a token cannot be defaulted: an empty one
compares equal to an empty one, which is the check answering yes to
everybody.

Also two on the web prefetch, both from review. A frame's keys are
deduplicated, because a download key is the media's *content* — one photo
forwarded into five chats was the same megabytes transferred five times
with the frame waiting behind all of them. And a video's `d-` key is
skipped where nothing can decode it: the daemon hands a hydrated row the
downloaded clip's key in place of the thumbnail's, so a web window
attaching beside a desktop one that had played a video pulled the whole MP4
down to feed a decoder that does not exist there. The `f-` thumbnail is
still fetched — it is what the row draws beside "video is not supported
here".
`the_startup_lock_is_exclusive` kept failing on macOS after the mutex that
was supposed to fix it, which means the fork it races is one this crate does
not make. That makes the assertion wrong rather than the lock: `flock` is
released when the *last* descriptor on the open file description closes, and
any fork in the process duplicates every descriptor until the exec clears
them — so a copy held by a child microseconds from exec is not the lock
outliving its holder. The release is waited for, bounded, and a lock that is
genuinely never released still fails, which is the bug the test exists for.
It also says the reason now instead of asserting a bare boolean.

Then four from review, three of them mine:

- `is_loading` was inferred from "no buffer, not finished, something has
  run" — all of which describe a player that has simply been stopped. It
  stayed true for the rest of the tab, so the repaint tick added in the last
  commit would have spun at 66ms forever and a pause would be banked for a
  clip nobody was loading. It is a recorded flag now.
- A browser resumes an audio context only under a transient user activation,
  and an uncached voice note is downloaded before anything is decoded — so
  the click that authorised the sound had expired by the time `play` ran,
  leaving a silent note whose `ended` never fired. `unlock` takes that
  permission in the gesture; it is a no-op where a sound card needs none.
- `is_loopback_origin` split the port off the right, which walks into an
  IPv6 literal: `http://[::1]`, which is what a browser writes when the port
  is the default, became the host `[:` and the daemon refused its own page.

And the preview origin, which is not fixed because it is not fixable that
way: a path is not part of an origin, so a preview shares the site's. What
keeps it from being a way in is that the origin is not the admission check —
the token is, and it reaches a page only by someone pasting it. Said in the
workflow, where the previews are made.

A contributor can therefore modify that script to ignore TARGET and replace the production gh-pages root or push to another writable ref, rather than being confined to the intended preview directory.

When another local account sends an OPTIONS request with a loopback Origin but no valid token, this branch returns 204 before token_matches runs, so the supposedly private endpoint confirms itself without the per-user capability. The browser's preflight targets the same query-bearing URL, so the token can be checked before this branch and invalid requests can receive the same 404 as other unauthorized media requests.

Expose one platform-neutral launch function and keep both run-loop implementations beneath the facade, as required for this GUI's target split.

P2 Badge Close the socket instead of dropping queued requests

If the WebSocket remains in CONNECTING while the front end emits more than 64 frames, this branch silently discards every later request even though Link::send_line has already returned success and inserted tracked requests into pending. If the socket subsequently opens, those requests can never receive answers, leaving downloads, page loads, or sends stuck indefinitely; exceeding the bound should close/fail the connection so Frames::finish drains the pending map rather than dropping individual frames.

The publish job checked the publishing script out of the revision it was
publishing, then ran it with `contents: write`. On a same-repository pull
request that is code the author controls: rewriting the script to ignore
`TARGET` would have replaced the published site, or pushed to any other ref
that token reaches. It comes from the base branch now, in both jobs that
hold the token. What a pull request may influence is the bundle it built,
and only where the base branch's own workflow decides to put it.

Three more from the same review:

- The preflight answered `204` before the token was checked, so an account
  that may not open this endpoint could still confirm it is there. A browser
  sends the preflight to the same URL as the request it is asking about,
  token and all, so there was nothing to exempt: the check moves above every
  route rather than the preflight moving below it.
- The web socket dropped frames once sixty-four had queued against a
  connection that never opened — after `send_line` had already answered
  success and the caller had recorded a request against them. That is an
  answer nobody delivers, which is a request nobody answers: the views stay
  waiting and never ask again. It ends the connection instead, which is what
  runs `Frames::finish` and fails all of them at once.
- `run` versus `run_embedded` was a second platform boundary sitting above
  `platform/`, where this crate's whole rule is that there is one. Who owns
  the run loop is now a question with one function and two implementations
  under it, like the clock, the downloads and the preferences.

P1 Badge Join the chat-store writer before wiping

When the embedded browser resets an account, this waits only for a flush barrier and then reports the store drained. Fresh evidence after the earlier writer finding is that writer_loop still owns SharedSqlite while blocked on rx.recv(), and sender clones remain in the detached client handler until let_go(self) runs; dropping those senders merely schedules the writer to exit, but nothing joins it before wipe_local_state() starts. The database deletion can therefore race a still-live writer/database handle, risking a partial account wipe; close the queue and await the writer task's completion before returning success.

`?log=debug`, which is what a page has instead of `RUST_LOG`. Until now the
web level was a constant, so the only account anyone could give of a session
was its INFO lines — and the interesting half of a connection, every stanza
the library reads and every step of a pairing, is written at debug and was
unreachable from a browser at any price.

The floors come with it, and they are the reason this is a logger rather than
one call to `set_max_level`. gpui, wgpu and the text shaper narrate at debug
about their own business; `log`'s global level is one number with no
per-target part, so a filter that knows targets has to live in a logger, and
without one `?log=debug` buries the twenty lines worth reading in thousands
that are not. Ours registers first so that `web_init`'s own `set_logger` is
the one that fails — it tolerates that, and the panic hook it installs is
what it is still called for — and the level is set after it, because it sets
one of its own.

`backend` reads its parameter through the same helper now.
A flush was the wrong barrier for a wipe and Codex was right to say so twice.
It reports that the queue is committed, and the writer answers it and goes
straight back to `rx.recv()` with `SharedSqlite` still open — so the deletion
that follows runs against a live connection. That matters most on the target
this whole path exists for: the browser VFS writes changed blocks *after* the
commit, so a page the old writer was still holding can land behind the delete
and put the file back, which is the partial wipe the delete-the-whole-file
rule exists to prevent.

`ChatStore::close` is the barrier that does not come back. `WriterMsg::Stop`
queues like a flush — everything ahead of it is written, nothing after it ever
is — and its answer is sent after the loop has broken and the handle is
dropped, in that order, so awaiting it is awaiting the file to be let go of
rather than the queue to be caught up.
Two silences, and the pairing log made both visible. The server sent
`<pair-device>`, the library acked it, and the console stopped there: no way
to tell a session waiting for something from one that had stopped.

The event stream now says what reaches this side, by kind only. `EventKind`
is `Copy`, carries no payload and names the variant, which is what makes it
pastable into an issue — a `Debug` of the event would be somebody's messages.
Until now the only account of that stream was the handled arms' own info
lines, so an event nobody handles, or an event that never arrives, read
identically: nothing.

And `bot.run()` returning is a session ending, which was the one outcome that
said nothing at all. It reconnects internally, so it returns only when there
is nothing left to try — and it returned into an empty select arm, leaving a
window on "Connecting to WhatsApp" over a console that had gone quiet.

P1 Badge Reject symlinked web token files

When upgrading a Unix installation whose state directory was previously permissive, another local account may already have planted web.token as a symlink to a file it controls. read_to_string follows that link and accepts any nonempty contents without verifying that the token is a regular, user-owned file, so the daemon starts with an attacker-known bearer token that can authenticate to the loopback bridge and access the WhatsApp session. Open the token without following links and validate its type, owner, and permissions before accepting it.

P2 Badge Preserve malformed daemon parameters as rejections

When a #daemon= value contains a malformed percent escape, such as a truncated % in a pasted URL, decodeURIComponent fails and this converts the failure to None. named_daemon() consequently treats the parameter as absent, and session/web.rs::connect silently starts an embedded session against the browser's store instead of reporting the malformed configuration. Preserve the fact that the parameter was present and return NamedDaemon::Rejected when decoding fails.

P2 Badge Accept the full IPv4 loopback range

When the daemon is launched with a valid custom loopback address such as --web 127.0.0.2:9527, listener/web.rs::run accepts it via IpAddr::is_loopback, but a page pointed at that address rejects it here because only the literal 127.0.0.1 is recognized. The explicitly enabled bridge is therefore unreachable from the browser despite satisfying the daemon's security boundary; parse IP hostnames and apply IpAddr::is_loopback consistently on both sides.

… parsed

Three from Codex, all on the bridge's edges.

The token is a bearer credential and `read_to_string` follows a symlink, so a
state directory that predates the `0700` rule — or one somebody widened — can
already hold a `web.token` pointing at a file another account writes. Reading
through it starts the daemon with a token that account knows, which is the
session. Worse, redrawing over it wrote *our* token through the same link. So
neither follows one now, and the file has to be the three things "we wrote
this" means: regular, ours, readable by nobody else. Anything else is an error
rather than a token quietly replaced — a state directory in that condition is
something a person has to look at.

A `#daemon=` whose percent escape is truncated decoded to `None`, which
`named_daemon` read as nobody having named one — so a typo silently opened a
session against the browser's own store instead of the daemon that was asked
for, which is the substitution `Rejected` exists to prevent. `Parameter` keeps
the distinction the `Option` was flattening.

And `--web 127.0.0.2:9527` is a bind the daemon accepts, because the whole of
`127.0.0.0/8` is loopback; the page recognised the literal `127.0.0.1` alone
and refused a bridge the person had deliberately enabled. Both sides apply
`IpAddr::is_loopback` now, and the check moved up a module so a test can run
somewhere other than wasm.

P2 Badge Skip preview teardown for fork pull requests

When a pull request from a fork is closed, this job still runs with contents: write, even though the publish job explicitly excludes forks. Fork-triggered pull_request jobs normally receive a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN; moreover, publish-pages.sh --remove deliberately creates a removal marker even when no preview exists, so it always attempts a push and eventually fails after its retries. Apply the same same-repository condition used by the publish job so closing an unpublishable fork PR does not produce a failing workflow.

P2 Badge Keep the Web Lock callback alive across canceled retries

When an embedded-browser connection attempt is canceled before navigator.locks.request invokes its callback—for example, two Retry clicks arrive before the UI rerenders—assigning the second task drops the first reconnect_task, which now directly owns the pending Session::attach future. Dropping that future also drops the Closure in claim::take, while the browser still retains and may later invoke its callback, producing a wasm-bindgen trap. Prevent overlapping retries or transfer ownership of the callback to the detached request until its promise settles.

P2 Badge Show decoding audio as active before treating a tap as pause

When a browser has accepted a voice note but decodeAudioData is still pending, playing_message_id() returns None because is_playing() is false, so the row continues to render a Play icon and “Play” tooltip. This changed branch nevertheless treats the same state as active and calls pause(), banking pending_pause; consequently a second tap on the displayed Play control prevents the decoded note from starting while the control still looks idle. Render loading/active notes as Pause (or make the action follow the displayed idle state) so control state and behavior agree.

P1 Badge Move the browser database to the durable worker VFS

When the default hosted page owns the session and the tab or browser is terminated before relaxed IndexedDB persistence catches up, this VFS loses already-committed SQLite blocks; the file itself notes that those blocks include Signal ratchet state, so subsequent messages can become undecryptable rather than merely being rehydrated. No WaitCommit or page-lifecycle flush exists elsewhere in the repository, and the repository explicitly requires OPFS through a dedicated worker for persistent web storage, so the default embedded session should run there instead of installing RelaxedIdbCfg in the window.

P2 Badge Skip preview teardown for fork pull requests

When a pull request from a fork is closed, this job still runs even though the publish job explicitly refuses fork previews. GitHub downgrades GITHUB_TOKEN to read-only for fork-triggered pull_request workflows, so contents: write cannot authorize the script's force-push; it records a removal marker, retries the push six times, and leaves every fork-close workflow failed despite there never having been a preview to remove. Apply the same same-repository condition used by the publish job.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Three more from Codex, each one thing owning something for the wrong span.

The Web Lock callback was held by the granted `Claim`, which made it a
caller's to lose: `retry_connection` replaces its task, dropping the `attach`
future the claim is awaited inside — two Retry clicks before a rerender is
enough — and the lock manager would then call into a `Closure` that had gone
with it, which is a trap rather than a missed call. It lives in the detached
task that awaits the request's promise now, which is exactly the browser's own
span: settled at once on a refusal, and on a grant when the `Claim` drops and
releases.

A voice note's control and the tap behind it were asking different questions.
`is_playing` is false for the whole of a decode, so a note the browser had
accepted drew a Play icon over a handler that called `pause()` — and the
second tap, on a control that looked idle, was what kept the note from ever
starting. Both ask `is_active` now, which is playing *or on its way*; a paused
note still draws as paused, because pausing during a decode sets
`pending_pause` and takes it out.

And the preview teardown ran for pull requests from forks, which never had a
preview and whose token cannot write the branch. It was harmless while a
removal with nothing to remove left early; claiming the ordinal regardless
made the push unconditional, so it would now spend its retries and end red on
somebody else's contribution closing. Same same-repository condition as
`publish`.

Standing down on the P1 asking for OPFS-in-a-worker, and saying so rather than leaving it unanswered.

The finding is right about the mechanism. The relaxed-IndexedDB VFS writes changed blocks after the commit, so a tab killed inside that window loses the commit — and for Signal state that is a ratchet that has to re-establish, not just history that comes back on the next hydration. crates/session/src/store/web.rs says exactly this in its own module docs, and AGENTS.md lists it under "Still to do".

What it asks for is not a fix to this diff, though. OPFS's durable path is a synchronous access handle, which exists in a dedicated worker and nowhere else — so "use OPFS" means moving the session into a worker: a different execution context for the store, the client and every task around them. That is the architecture change the store interface was deliberately shaped for (three functions, so nothing above session/store/ moves with it), and it is the next piece of work rather than a line in this one.

So this PR ships the window VFS, with the durability window documented where somebody hits it. Two things make that a defensible place to stop rather than a silent gap: the window is bounded and observable — a commit is at risk only between the commit and its flush — and the page still prefers a real oxidezapd when one is named, which is the arrangement that keeps the keys out of browser storage entirely.

The fork-teardown P2 reported alongside it is fixed in 6c26a6e; it is the same finding as the earlier one on this file, and it became real when the removal started claiming its ordinal unconditionally.

P2 Badge Serialize retries before requesting the Web Lock

When the same tab triggers two Retry actions before the first attach settles, replacing reconnect_task cancels the first caller but its now-detached lock request can still acquire and briefly hold this lock; the second ifAvailable request then receives null, maps that to AlreadyExists, and leaves the tab permanently on the settled “Another tab” screen even though no other tab owns the account. Fresh evidence after the previous callback-lifetime fix is that the detached request deliberately survives cancellation; prevent overlapping attaches or distinguish this tab's in-flight claim from a genuine external refusal.

P1 Badge Create the token without accepting a raced-in file

When an installation has a legacy permissive state directory and web.token is absent or empty, another local account can replace the path after read_private returns but before this open. O_NOFOLLOW blocks only symlinks: create(true) still opens an attacker-owned, world-writable regular file, and .mode(0o600) is ignored for an existing file, exposing the newly written bearer token. Fresh evidence after the symlink fix is that the write-side descriptor is never created exclusively or revalidated; use create_new or verify the opened descriptor's owner, type, and mode before writing.

When the web build is served from another valid loopback alias such as http://127.0.0.2:8080, this check rejects its Origin before checking the token, even though the browser endpoint now accepts the full IPv4 loopback range and listener::run accepts binds using IpAddr::is_loopback.

A grant handed back to whoever asked is a lock this tab holds against itself.
`retry_connection` replaces its task, which drops the `attach` future the
`Claim` is held in — the `Hold` drops, the release settles the callback's
promise a microtask later, and the second Retry's `ifAvailable` reaches the
browser inside that window and is answered null. Which is `Refused`, which is
`AlreadyExists`, which is `AppState::Refused`: the settled "another tab is
running this account" screen, with no other tab anywhere and nothing that
retries. The same shape without any drop at all: two `service()` calls that
both pass the `running()` check ask the browser twice, and the loser is told a
tab is holding an account that is its own page's.

So the page asks once and keeps what it is given. `ASK` is that one ask; a
caller arriving while it is outstanding joins the waiters, and one arriving
after a grant is handed the same `Rc<Hold>`. `Claim` is a token on it rather
than the thing itself, so letting go of a caller is letting go of a caller.
The answer is settled in a detached task for the same reason the closure is
held in one: a grant that arrives after its asker has gone is still this
page's grant, so a Retry that replaces the attach mid-ask finds the account
already claimed by the page it is running in.

A refusal is not kept — the other tab may close, and a remembered refusal
would outlive what it described — so the slot is emptied and the next attempt
asks again. A grant is never released short of the page going, which is what
the browser does for us and what the module docs already claimed; `running()`
forgetting a stopped service now builds a fresh session over the claim this
page still holds, rather than handing the account back between two of its own.

`create(true)` opens what is already at the path, and `mode` is only
consulted for a file being made — so a regular file another account planted
between `read_private` answering "nothing there" and the open is one we would
open, leave at its owner's mode, and write this session's bearer token into.
`O_NOFOLLOW` does not cover it, because nothing about that is a symlink; it is
reachable on a state directory that predates the `0700` rule or that somebody
widened, which is the same installation the link check exists for.

So the create is exclusive. The path can still legitimately be there — the
empty file a previous run left, which is the case the caller redraws over — so
`EEXIST` reopens without creating and asks the *descriptor* what
`read_private` asks the path, which is the only form of the question that
cannot be answered about a different file than the one written to. That check
is now one function both sides call: a read side and a write side that
disagreed would be a token written into a file the next run refuses.

Two more, both the same shape as fixes already in this branch — a check made
general in one place and left literal in another.

`is_loopback_origin` still matched `127.0.0.1` exactly while the bind check
and the client end had both moved to `IpAddr::is_loopback`, so a page served
from `http://127.0.0.2:8080` was refused by a daemon that would have bound
there. It parses the host now, which also means a bracketed IPv6 literal is
answered by the address rather than by the string.

And the README told people to `cat "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/oxidezap/web.token"`,
which expands to `/oxidezap/web.token` on a headless session with no runtime
directory — where `state_dir` falls back to `${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/oxidezap-$UID`,
and where the web bridge is most useful. The daemon prints the resolved path;
the README now says to use that, and says what the fallback is.

Six conflicts, and one of them is the whole of the interesting part.

`crates/gui/src/session.rs` is a file on main and a directory here, so main's
71 lines were ported into the split: the `Plugins` variant into `FromDaemon`,
`PluginsChanged` into `frames.rs` beside the calls arm it mirrors, the
snapshot's set into `catch_up` before the connection state, and the two
request methods into `Session`. Main's doc block for `plugin_action` sits over
`plugin_approval` there — one describing widgets used, the other describing
why approval is not one of them — so the two were put over the methods they
describe.

`main.rs` had both sides moving the same lines: this branch to
`oxidezap_daemon::{…}`, main to a new `mod plugins`. The module goes in the
*library*, because the library is what a page runs — which plugins there are,
and why there are none, is a fact about the daemon rather than the process
around it. `server::run` and `serve_client` take both new parameters.
`server.rs`'s lock-retry test was rewritten on both sides; main's is better —
it holds the lock it regained and reads the library's clock — and it keeps
this side's error detail. AGENTS.md and README were both list insertions.
`Cargo.lock` was regenerated. And `group_notice.rs` named two fields the
library bump on main removed from `GroupNotificationAction::Subject`.

Then the plugins, on the web, which splits in two.

**Attached to an `oxidezapd`, a page gets its plugins whole.** That is the
half that had to be wired and it is four call sites: the web bridge hands
`serve_client` the same `Plugins` the socket does. Nothing else was needed,
because the protocol already carried all of it — the interface arrives in the
snapshot, buttons act through `PluginAction`, the permission prompt is
answered through `PluginApproval` — so there is no second implementation of
anything here, only an argument that was not being passed.

**Holding its own session, a page gets none, and says which of the two it
is.** `wasmi` compiles for this target; the interpreter was never the problem.
The host gives each plugin an OS thread and a bounded queue it blocks on, and
a tab has neither — the same fact r2d2 ran into. `Builder::spawn` failing is
already handled gracefully, so a page that tried would come up with a list of
plugins that had all failed identically, which is worse than none. It does not
try: `plugins::start` returns `Plugins::none` with the reason written down,
rather than arriving there because a browser has no `HOME` — a refusal that
depends on an environment variable being unset is one that comes back when
somebody sets it.

The front end is the mirror of that and not a second decision:
`platform::plugins_unavailable` is one function, two implementations, and the
Settings pane asks it instead of assuming an empty list means an empty folder.
"Drop a .wasm file in the plugins folder and restart" is advice about a folder
a tab does not have, given to somebody who cannot act on it.

The way in is a worker per plugin — its queue a port, its module and approvals
in OPFS — which is the same worker the store is waiting on and a second
scheduler rather than a second backend. Recorded in AGENTS.md as such.

Also corrected, because this branch is what made it false: the README still
said the web build "is the window only".

P2 Badge Replace the stored VFS handle when reopening

When the user clears the account, pairs again, and later clears that replacement account without reloading the page, prepare() installs a new RelaxedIdbUtil, but this OnceCell::set fails because the first session already populated it and the error is discarded. wipe() therefore continues operating through the first session's utility rather than the VFS that preloaded the current database, so the later clear can leave the replacement account's IndexedDB data behind; store the current utility on every successful prepare or reuse the original utility for subsequent preloads.

Not a bug, and the reason is inside the dependency rather than in this file — which is why it now says so in a comment (3b1c1e3).

The premise that a second install yields a handle to a different store is where it goes wrong. sqlite_wasm_vfs::relaxed_idb::install registers the VFS under options.vfs_name only if it is not registered already:

let pool = if let Some(vfs) = registered_vfs(&options.vfs_name)? {
    unsafe { RelaxedIdbStore::app_data(vfs) }
} else { /* … register … */ };
Ok(RelaxedIdbUtil { pool })

and RelaxedIdbUtil is { pool: &'static VfsAppData<RelaxedIdb> }. Every call with the default config therefore hands back another handle over the same static pool. The second prepare() — after "clear data and pair again", which is exactly the path described — registers nothing; it preloads through the pool the first handle also points at.

So wipe() going through the stored first handle deletes out of the very store the newest preload filled. Storing the newer handle would be replacing a thing with itself, and the refused set discards nothing.

The rest of the observation stands as a readability problem, though: let _ = cell.set(store) is a silent discard whose safety is only provable by reading a crate this file does not otherwise mention. It carries the invariant now.

Codex read `let _ = cell.set(store)` as a lost handle: `prepare` runs again
after "clear data and pair again", the second `set` is refused, and `wipe`
would then delete through a utility belonging to a VFS that no longer holds
the current database.

It does not, and the reason is one line of the crate: `install` registers the
VFS under `vfs_name` only if it is not registered already, and otherwise hands
back another `RelaxedIdbUtil` over the same `&'static VfsAppData`. Two handles
are one pool. The stored one deletes out of exactly the store the newest
preload filled, so the discarded `set` is discarding a thing for itself.

No behaviour change — a comment, because the next reader trips where this one
did, and an invariant that is only true inside a dependency is one this file
has to state.
The store opened and then the process died on
`scheduled-thread-pool`'s `thread::Builder::spawn().unwrap()`. That is r2d2's
*management* pool, and it is a second spawn behind the connection threads the
library already answered for — reached before the connection ones, so a page
got as far as "Opening data database" and no further.

Nothing here could have fixed it. `SqliteStoreConfig::thread_pool` is the only
seam and it takes an `Arc<ScheduledThreadPool>`, whose builder asserts
`num_threads > 0`; not passing one makes r2d2 build three of its own. The
answer had to be that the store does not use r2d2 on this target at all, and
upstream now says exactly that: `storages/sqlite-storage/src/pool.rs` is a
connection behind a lock, keeping r2d2's spelling — `builder()`, `.get()`,
`.state()` — so the six thousand lines above it never learn which platform
they are on, and `spawn_blocking` is a call that simply runs.

All eight crates move together, as they must. The bump also restores
`subject_owner_pn` and `subject_owner_username` on
`GroupNotificationAction::Subject`, which the revision this branch merged past
had dropped and this branch had followed.

P1 Badge Run plugin shutdown through the platform executor

When an embedded browser session disconnects or handles “clear data and pair again,” this unconditional tokio::task::spawn_blocking runs even though the page has no entered Tokio runtime; it therefore panics before the publisher is joined or the account is wiped. Fresh evidence after the earlier direct-tokio::spawn fixes is this remaining blocking-pool call on the same teardown path; use the existing platform-aware oxidezap_session::unblock abstraction (or execute the empty web host inline) so browser teardown can complete.

P1 Badge Keep the service stopping until teardown completes

When an embedded-browser account reset reaches drop(commands) in session_bridge::run, the receiver becomes closed before plugin/publisher shutdown and wipe_local_state; a manual or scheduled reconnect then clears SERVICE here, skips the later slot.is_some() && stopping() guard, and starts a replacement session that opens the database while the old run is still deleting it. Fresh evidence after the session/store join fixes is that command-channel closure is still being treated as proof that the entire teardown finished; retain a completion marker or the service entry until run has returned.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L641-L644

Two from Codex on the plugin wiring, both on the path "clear data and pair
again" takes, and the first is a regression this branch introduced by giving
the page's daemon a plugin host at all.

`session_bridge`'s teardown joined the plugin threads through
`tokio::task::spawn_blocking`. A browser has no blocking pool, so that call
does not join anything — it panics, and it does so *before* the publisher is
joined and before the store is deleted, which is the whole of what the
ordering there exists to guarantee. It goes through `oxidezap_session::unblock`
now, which is a hand-off on a desktop and a plain call in a page; what it runs
there is `Plugins::none`, with no thread to join.

The second is older and the plugin join is what made it reachable. `run` drops
the command receiver first — deliberately, so a plugin parked on an answer is
woken rather than joined into a deadlock — and only then joins the plugins,
joins the publisher and wipes the store. `embedded::running` measured "is this
session still alive" by that same channel, so during the teardown it read
closed, forgot the service, and thereby skipped the `stopping()` guard on the
line below: the front end's immediate reconnect got a *new* session opening
the database the old one was deleting. A closed channel is the start of the
teardown, not proof of its end, so `RUNNING` is what is asked now — raised
before the bridge exists and lowered only once `run` has returned — and a
caller arriving in that window is told `Stopping`, which is the answer that
says "ask again", exactly as the reconnect already does.

P2 Badge Reject malformed persisted web tokens

When web.token contains any nonempty but malformed value—for example, a partial write left by a disk-full error or crash—this accepts it without enforcing the generated token’s 48 hexadecimal characters. A sufficiently short remnant makes the bearer credential brute-forceable by another local account, which can reach the loopback port and supply its own Origin; regenerate or refuse persisted values that do not match the expected format.

`token()` believed any non-empty value the file held. Ours by owner and mode
is not the same as well-formed, and the way it stops being well-formed is a
partial write: a full disk answers `write_all` with an error after some of the
bytes have landed, and what is left is short. That is the one kind of
malformed value worse than none — the endpoint's whole admission check is this
string, and any local account can reach the port and try, so a two-character
remnant is a session anybody on the machine can walk into.

It asks for the shape now: 48 lowercase hex characters, which is what the
draw writes. Redrawn rather than refused, with a line in the log saying so and
never what it wrote, because the file is this user's own and a daemon that
will not start over one truncated byte is a daemon nobody can recover. The
length lives in `TOKEN_CHARS` and the test draws a real token before taking it
apart, so the two halves cannot drift into accepting a prefix or refusing
everything.
The page handshakes, receives the server's `<pair-device>`, acks it — and
shows no QR. Nothing after that but ping and pong, and no `client event:` line
at all, which is what said the events were never dispatched rather than never
delivered.

`AbortHandle` tells its two endings apart by whether it *calls* the closure it
boxes: `abort()` calls it, `Drop` calls it, and `detach()` drops it uncalled.
`BrowserRuntime::spawn` cancelled by dropping the sender, so the closure
holding that sender made `.detach()` — the one call whose whole purpose is
"run this to completion" — cancel the task on the spot, before its first poll.
The tokio runtime builds the same handle around a `JoinHandle`, and dropping
one of those detaches, so the desktop never saw it.

It is not one feature. `runtime.spawn(…).detach()` is how the library runs
nearly everything fire-and-forget — the QR rotation, inbound message handling
in `handlers/message.rs`, the notification handlers, the bot's own
subscriptions — so on a page every one of them was killed before it ran. What
survived is what is *not* spawned: the node_io loop, and the pair-device
handler itself, which acks inline. That is exactly the log: a connection that
works and an account that can never be paired.

`net::abort_requested` is the rule stated once and tested on the host, where
the semantics live entirely in a `oneshot` and need no browser: a value sent
is an abort, a sender dropped is a detachment and waits forever. The test is
written as the race the runtime actually runs, a task against its own
cancellation, because the cancel arm winning is the bug and a test of the
receiver alone would not have seen it — reverting the one line inside
`abort_requested` fails it with "a detached task was cancelled".

P2 Badge Pin native media until HTTP delivery completes

When a browser is attached to a native daemon, this has check does not actually claim the cached payload: the daemon sends Downloaded, and only afterward does gui/session/web.rs::prefetch open a separate HTTP connection for the bytes. A concurrent cache clear or budget sweep in that interval can remove the file, causing a download already reported as successful to fail during sideband fetching. Give native entries delivery ownership until the HTTP reader opens or completes them, rather than treating this path like a desktop client that reads the shared file directly.

Real, and narrower than the report — the comment is what was wrong, so that is what changed (c0ff84c).

The invariant claim states is "the front end opens the file itself, so there is no window between promising it and handing it over". True for the front end this cache was written for, false the moment a browser attaches to this daemon: there the bytes cross as HTTP, so the promise and the read are two round trips.

Two things narrow it, though, and both matter for whether it earns a mechanism:

  • Not the budget sweep. It drops the oldest, and the key just promised was just written — it is the last thing that sweep would reach. So the trigger is ClearMediaCache specifically, landing in the gap between the daemon's Downloaded frame and the page's GET: somebody pressing "clear cached media" in the same millisecond as their own download.
  • The cost is one refetch. prefetch logs a missing key and does not insert it, and the renderer draws media it does not have as an offer to download — the same thing it does for anything the daemon never cached. The row is not wrong, it is one tap from right.

The exception is a save the user asked for, which goes quiet — but that is the already-recorded "a failed save says nothing to the person who asked", and it wants the transient surface that entry asks for rather than a second mechanism here.

Giving native entries delivery ownership means this cache keeping claims the way the page's does, and its first paragraph opens with "no index, no eviction bookkeeping, just files whose names say what is in them". That is a real trade rather than an oversight, so it is written down as one in AGENTS.md, next to the media entries it belongs with, and the false sentence in claim now says what the window actually is.

`media::native::claim` forwards to `has` and says why: the front end opens
the file itself, so nothing can close the gap between promising a key and
handing it over. That sentence stopped being true when a browser could attach
to this daemon — there the bytes cross as HTTP, so the promise and the read
are two round trips.

Narrower than it sounds, which is why the comment is the fix rather than an
index. The budget sweep cannot be the one to delete it: it drops the oldest,
and a key just promised was just written. What can is `ClearMediaCache`,
landing in the millisecond between the daemon's `Downloaded` and the page's
GET — somebody clearing their cache in the same breath as their own download.
And it costs a refetch, because the renderer draws media it does not have as
an offer to download, which is what it already does for anything the daemon
never cached.

Closing it properly means the native cache keeping claims the way the page's
does, which is the index that module's first paragraph opens by saying it
does not have. Recorded in AGENTS.md as that trade rather than built for a
race nobody has met.
A page with no daemon named now pairs against WhatsApp and carries a
conversation: the QR is drawn, a phone scans it, and messages go out and come
back. Two sentences in AGENTS.md said that was the one thing nobody had
measured, and they were the last thing standing between this branch and its
own claim.

What stood between the handshake and the QR was the `AbortHandle` fix, and how
it looked is worth keeping: everything a log could show was working. The socket
opened, the handshake completed, the server's `<pair-device>` arrived and was
acked — because the ack is inline, and only the ack. The six refs are rotated
by a detached task, and a detached task was one the page cancelled. A client
that connects perfectly and pairs never.

Also recorded: a fix is not deployed until the service worker agrees. That one
cost a round trip — the corrected bundle was published and an ordinary reload
served the old one, so the fix read as no fix at all. The hash in the
filename is how to tell, and `trunk serve` has no service worker, which is the
other reason to reproduce there first.
