Use canonical profile files and writable Git working copies so editor and container changes share one source. Require confirmation before destructive Git refreshes and overlay profile files without composite snapshots.
- Use profile-scoped canonical Git clone sources with locked refreshes
- Mount shared Git configuration read-only and isolate profile content
- Add API and desktop/mobile actions for live Git mount refresh

Multiline pastes into the web terminal (especially into pi) were split
into one prompt per line because bracketed-paste markers were not
reaching the foreground app intact.
- Put the host PTY into raw mode (tty.setraw) after openpty() so it acts
as a pass-through pipe. The default canonical line discipline was
line-buffering input, splitting multiline pastes at newlines, and
mangling bracketed-paste markers before docker exec / pi could see
them. The in-container PTY (docker exec -t) provides real discipline.
- Route the mobile Paste button through xterm.js (term.paste) instead of
sending raw clipboard text to the WebSocket, so content is wrapped in
bracketed-paste markers when the app has enabled BPM.
- Treat a text frame as a control message only when it is a JSON object
with a known type (resize/ack/reset); otherwise forward as raw input
so JSON-shaped pastes are no longer silently dropped.

The /workspace compatibility symlink was removed from the manifest
compiler/entrypoint in 3e59a25. Tool definitions that still set
runtime.working_dir to /workspace therefore start in an empty directory
instead of /home/user/{repo_name}.
- manifest-editor.tsx: default working_dir to empty instead of /workspace;
update startup-script placeholder to reference /home/alex/.

create_tool_instance fetched `project` only inside the auto-display-name
branch, so callers supplying display_name left it unbound and the
manifest/dockerfile/compose branches crashed with UnboundLocalError at
_get_repository_mount_name (in-container layout /home/user/{project_name}).
Resolve project unconditionally after repo validation with a not-found
guard (narrowing Project|None -> Project), and drop the now-redundant
fetch from the auto-name branch. Add a regression test covering the

When a config profile declares both a git_mount and a mounts entry for the
same directory (e.g. ~/.pi), the generated bind-mounts would mask each other
inside the container. Instead, copy the static profile files into the
instance-scoped git-mount source directory so the container sees both the
cloned repo contents and the static files through a single bind-mount.
- Add _stack_profile_mounts_with_git_mounts helper to merge overlapping
profile mounts into git-mount sources.
- Integrate stacking into start_tool_instance after resolving both mount
types.
- Add unit tests for exact, descendant, non-overlapping, and file cases.
Detached containers with tty: true still exited immediately because a

Working copies were stored as /data/working-copies/{repo_id}/{workspace_name}/,
so git clone was forced into a user-named directory. That meant the container
mount basename was the workspace name (e.g. main) instead of the repo name.
- Generate the workspace UUID before cloning and clone into
/data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/ so git creates {repo_name}/ naturally
- Set workspace.path to /data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/{repo_name}/
- Update _migrate_clone_into_workspace() to use the same layout
- _get_repository_mount_name() now prefers workspace.path basename and only
falls back to remote URL / repo.name for legacy repo-only instances

The pi-agent manifest still declared an explicit repo mount with
{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, making the mount target dependent on tool config. The
instance service now synthesizes the repo mount, so the manifest no longer
needs the explicit mount.
- Add Alembic migration 2026_06_15_090500 to remove the source_type: repo
mount from the built-in pi-agent manifest
- Add _get_repository_mount_name() helper to derive the workspace directory
name from the repository remote URL (matching git clone behavior) and
fall back to the user-provided repository name

WORKSPACE_NAME was computed from os.path.basename(repo_path), so when a
workspace path ended in a directory like 'main', the container mount target
became /home/user/main instead of /home/user/{repo-name}.

legacy dockerfile flows

Older cached images still contain a literal /home/user/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
directory baked in by the previous Dockerfile generation. Even though new
images no longer create it, existing images leave the placeholder folder
alongside the real repo-named mount.

exists before creating the real workspace target and /workspace symlink

When a manifest mount target uses ~/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, the Dockerfile was
building a literal directory named {{WORKSPACE_NAME}} into the image and
creating a broken /workspace symlink. The runtime mount then created the
correct repo-named folder alongside the placeholder folder.
- Only create static mount target directories in the Dockerfile; skip any
target containing {{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
- Only create the /workspace compatibility symlink at image-build time when
the workspace name is known; otherwise let the entrypoint create it from
the WORKSPACE_NAME environment variable

placeholders

The previous ordering checked SUDO before checking if the process was
already running as root. When Docker starts the container with a
non-root user, SUDO may be empty, but the real fix is that the
entrypoint should try root first (e.g. when the image is started as
root) and only then fall back to sudo.
- Reorder symlink creation logic: root first, then sudo, then best-effort
- Update unit test to assert root is checked before sudo

The previous commit moved the pi-agent repo mount from /workspace to
/home/user/{repo_name}. This exposed a permission bug: the Dockerfile
creates /workspace as a root-owned symlink in the image, and the
non-root entrypoint could not replace it because / is owned by root.
- Update compile_entrypoint to recreate /workspace via sudo when running
as the container user, or directly when running as root

Add generated .pi-map.md and .pi-map.index.md files across the repository

Note: .cache/ remains ignored (added in previous commit).
Root cause: manifest-based Dockerfile created the home directory and
chowned only the home root. Files/directories copied from /etc/skel by
useradd -m (or created later by root) remained root-owned, so apps like
ranger failed when writing to ~/.config.
Changes:
- manifest_compiler.py: recursive chown of the home directory after
useradd so /etc/skel contents are owned by the container user
- Pre-create .config, .local/share, .cache and chown them to the user
so first-run apps have writable directories immediately

setup and config directory creation

SSH key mounting was broken because:
1. Each selected key was mounted to a separate source dir but all targeted
the same ~/.ssh path in the container, causing Docker Compose's
last-mount-wins behavior
2. All keys were named id_ed25519, so they'd overwrite each other
Changes:
- ssh_keys.py: add key_filename param to prepare_ssh_key_files for unique
key names; add write_ssh_config for combined multi-key config
- tool_instances.py: collect all selected keys into a single ~/.ssh mount
with sanitized unique filenames (id_ed25519_<name>); generate combined
SSH config with all IdentityFile entries
- tests: add os.makedirs mock for SSH permission tests

Fixes NameError: ToolInstance not defined at runtime because
type annotations are evaluated at class definition time.
Deferring annotation evaluation with __future__ annotations

Root cause: _ensure_web_bind_address injected --host 0.0.0.0 for code-server,
which only sets the bind host, not the port. code-server then listens on its
default port (8080) instead of the tool type's default_port (8443). Cloudflared
connects to port 8443 and gets connection refused, resulting in a 502.
Changes:
- _ensure_web_bind_address now accepts default_port and builds
--bind-addr 0.0.0.0:{port} for code-server
- Same fix for jupyter-notebook with explicit --port flag
- Existing broken --host commands are now detected and replaced
- New migration fixes tool_types templates and instance compose files on disk
- Test fixture updated to use correct --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:8443
- Inject explicit container_name into compose files at start/restart time
via _ensure_container_name_in_compose() to prevent Docker Compose from
generating UUID-based auto names that break backend network resolution.
- Use instance.name.lower() directly instead of get_container_name() lookups
which were unreliable with auto-generated names.
- Apply compose sanitization, bind-address fix, and container-name injection
on restart_instance as well so restarts pick up template fixes.
- Add --force-recreate to docker compose up to ensure container_name changes
take effect immediately.
- Fix notification lifecycle tests to match current behavior (success severity,
health_changed event for ownership test).

FastAPI matches routes in declaration order. The DELETE /notifications
endpoint (bulk clear) was registered AFTER DELETE /notifications/{id},
so the path parameter route intercepted all requests to the bulk route,

Added regression test to verify route order.

Notification filtering:

Running/recovered state no longer creates info notifications.
- _derive_title now maps instance.health_changed to "Container ready".
Clear-all button:
- Added dismiss_all() to NotificationService
- Added DELETE /notifications endpoint for bulk dismiss
- Frontend: clearAllNotifications API, clearAll in notification context,
"Clear all" button in notification drawer alongside "Mark all as read"
- Added CSS for .notification-clear-all with danger hover state

The --bind-addr flag caused code-server to fail entirely (app not
responding on any interface). The correct override for the
coder/code-server image is --host 0.0.0.0, which overrides the
entrypoint's --host 127.0.0.1.
Changes:
- Migration: Replace --bind-addr with --host 0.0.0.0, also handle
existing broken templates by detecting --bind-addr and replacing it
- Runtime safety net: _ensure_web_bind_address uses --host 0.0.0.0
- Test fixture: Updated compose template to match
Quality gates: pytest 42 passed
Root cause: code-server (and similar web tools) default to binding to
127.0.0.1 (localhost) inside their containers. This makes them unreachable
from the Docker network and from cloudflared, which connects via the
container's Docker network name.
Changes:
- Migration: Update code-server compose_template to include
--bind-addr 0.0.0.0:8443 command override
- Migration: Update jupyter-notebook compose_template to include
--ip=0.0.0.0 flag
- Runtime safety net: _ensure_web_bind_address() auto-injects bind
address for known web tools (code-server, jupyter-notebook) when
compose doesn't already specify a command
- Diagnostics: _check_app_binding() compares internal vs external
connectivity to detect 127.0.0.1 binding issues

logs curl stderr for debugging
