The API container and tool instances share the 'backend' Docker network
(connect_container_to_network at tool_instances.py:1576). cloudflared
runs INSIDE the api container, so localhost:host_port is unreachable.
The original container_name:internal_port is correct for networking.
The 'app error 0' is an application-level issue, not networking.
This reverts commit a8fbca9.
The ssh_keys mount was already removed from the Alembic seed migration, but
that migration had already been applied to the DB. This data migration
removes the mount from the actual tool_definition_manifests row so that
instance-level SSH key mounting handles keys exclusively.

- apply_mount_permissions now skips mounts with readonly=true to avoid
'Read-only file system' warnings on post-start chown/chmod
- Removed the ssh_keys mount from the pi-agent manifest definition;
instance-level SSH key mounting now handles this exclusively
- Added unit test for read-only mount skipping

Root cause: start_cloudflared_tunnel was trying to connect to
http://{container_name}:{container_port}, but:
1. The host OS cannot resolve Docker container names
2. cloudflared runs on the host, so it needs the host-mapped port
Changes:
- start_cloudflared_tunnel: changed signature to accept host_port only
- Connects cloudflared to localhost:{host_port} via Docker port mapping
- Connectivity check uses localhost:{host_port}
- recreate_tunnel updated to match new signature
- Callers in tool_instances.py pass instance.port (host port)

The previous sorting fix exposed a deeper bug: ResolvedMount always
mounted its staging directory as a single bind mount. When a config
profile mount targeted /workspace/x/y and contained a single file
z.json, the staging directory (containing only z.json) replaced the
ENTIRE /workspace/x/y directory, hiding all sibling files from git
repo mounts.
- Change apply_resolved_profile to mount each file individually:
- source: staging_dir/relative_path
- target: expanded_target/relative_path
- Sibling files from other mounts are preserved.
- Empty mounts produce no volume entries.
- Keep volume sorting (parent paths before child paths) which is
still necessary for directory mounts and ensures parent dirs exist
before file mounts inside them.
- Add 4 unit tests for file-level mount behavior.

Frontend:
- Remove 4 console.log statements from terminal.tsx that flooded the
browser console with WebSocket traffic (open, received X bytes, sending Y,
xterm focused)
Backend:
- Downgrade Dockerfile/entrypoint compilation logs from INFO to DEBUG in
_prepare_manifest_instance
- Remove hex-dump diagnostic logging from docker_build.py (was for
troubleshooting the backslash continuation bug, now fixed)
- Downgrade Dockerfile write log from INFO to DEBUG
The manifest-based flow was building the Docker image inside start_instance,
which made the start HTTP request take 3-5 minutes (downloading ubuntu:24.04,
apt-get update, installing packages, Node.js, npm packages). The frontend
showed a spinner forever because the HTTP request was still pending.
Move the image build to create_instance (same pattern as dockerfile types):
1. create_instance now compiles Dockerfile + entrypoint and builds the image
2. start_instance sees the image already exists and skips the build
3. Start is fast — just docker compose up + health checks
This matches the UX expectation: creation has a spinner (can be slow),
start should be quick.
The compile_dockerfile function used \\\\ in Python string literals,
which produces \ (two backslashes) in the Dockerfile output. Docker's
legacy builder requires a single backslash \ for line continuation.
This caused 'unknown instruction: curl' because Docker saw the first as the continuation and the second \ as a literal character before the
newline, breaking the RUN command parsing.
Fix: change all \\ to \ in Python string literals within
compile_dockerfile, producing the correct single-backslash continuation.
Verified with hex dump from container logs:
- Before: line ended with 5c5c (two backslashes)
- After: line ends with 5c (one backslash)
Docker's legacy builder treats \r as a literal character after a backslash
continuation, breaking RUN multi-line commands and producing
'unknown instruction: curl' errors.
Add defensive CRLF→LF normalisation for both Dockerfile and build context
files before writing. Also log hex representation of first 8 lines so we
can verify exactly what bytes Docker receives.
The container build fails with 'unknown instruction: curl' on line 6, which
suggests the Dockerfile continuation characters or line endings may be
malformed. Add defensive logging to diagnose:
- Force newline='\n' in all write_text calls in build_image for consistent
Unix line endings regardless of platform
- Log compiled Dockerfile and entrypoint content at INFO/DEBUG level
- Log Dockerfile byte count when written
This will let us see exactly what Docker is receiving in the next build attempt.
create_instance had an if/else where the else branch handled both compose
and manifest types. For manifest types, compose_template is NULL (migrated
tools no longer store raw compose strings), so render_compose_template(None,...)
crashed with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'.
Add an explicit elif tool_type.definition_type == 'manifest' branch that:
1. Looks up the ToolDefinitionManifest from tool_type.manifest_id
2. Resolves base definition if referenced
3. Computes deterministic image tag
4. Generates compose via compile_compose
Legacy compose types continue to use render_compose_template in the else branch.
The ManifestEditor had a feedback loop:
1. State change → buildManifest changes → onChange notifies parent
2. Parent updates manifestData → new manifest prop
3. Loading effect sets all state from manifest (arrays get new refs even if same content)
4. New array refs → buildManifest changes → onChange fires again → loop
Fix: track the last-sent manifest via a ref and only call onChange when the
serialized built manifest actually differs. This breaks the cycle because after
the loading effect syncs state, the rebuilt manifest is identical in content
so we skip the parent notification.
Backend:
- Allow 'manifest' in tool_types definition_type validators
- Add manifest_id to ToolTypeCreate, ToolTypeUpdate, ToolTypeResponse
- Skip compose/dockerfile template validation when definition_type is manifest
- Require manifest_id when definition_type is manifest
- Clear legacy templates when switching to manifest type
Frontend:
- Load manifest data via getToolDefinition when selecting a manifest-type tool
- Create/update manifest definition via tool-definitions API when saving
- Pass manifest_id to tool-types create/update API
- Fix unused EmptyState import after configs/folders cleanup
The instance status may say 'running' but the actual Docker container
may have been removed (e.g. docker prune, host restart). The old code
created a terminal session which immediately died because docker exec
failed with 'No such container'.
- Add get_container_status check in WebSocket handler before session creation
- Return 4004 with clear message if container is missing
- This prevents spawning zombie terminal sessions
The terminal_sessions migration and drop_tool_configs migration both pointed
to add_tool_definition_manifests as their down_revision, creating two heads.
Update drop migration to depend on terminal_sessions instead, restoring a
single linear chain.
- Initialize loading=true in useTerminalSessions to prevent auto-create
from firing before initial load completes
- Remove hasAutoCreated ref from TerminalPage (no longer needed)
- Add focus() to TerminalRef, call on tab switch
- Add term.focus() after term.open() in TerminalComponent
- Add console logging for WebSocket send/receive to debug no-i/o
- Revert backend _read_loop retry logic to original break-on-error
Three fixes for multi-session terminal bugs:
1. Race-condition double creation: The auto-create effect fired twice because
loadSessions returned 0 while an earlier createSession was still in flight.
Added hasAutoCreated guard ref to ensure only one auto-create happens.
2. Page reload spawns new sessions: After server restart, list_terminal_sessions
filtered out DB-only sessions (no in-memory counterpart), so the frontend
thought no sessions existed and auto-created new ones. Reverted the filter
so DB rows are always returned. The WebSocket handler now restores the
in-memory session from the DB row on demand when connecting.
3. No input after connection: The backend _read_loop would break on any send
error, causing asyncio.wait to cancel the _write_loop. Made _read_loop
retry up to 3 times before giving up, preventing transient send errors
from killing input handling.
Quality gates: pytest (15/15 passed), tsc clean
Three related bugs fixed:
1. Frontend xterm.js crash: TerminalPage rendered ALL sessions with display:none
for inactive ones. xterm.js crashes when initialized in a hidden container
(Viewport can't read dimensions). Fix: only render the active session's
TerminalComponent using conditional rendering.
2. Backend websocket disconnect cascade: When client disconnected (due to #1),
the server tried to send 'connected' status on dead socket, caught the
WebSocketDisconnect in a generic except block, then tried to close() again
causing RuntimeError. Fix: catch WebSocketDisconnect specifically and suppress
close() errors.
3. Stale DB sessions: After server restart, DB still had old terminal session
rows but no in-memory sessions. list_terminal_sessions returned these ghosts,
causing the frontend to render dead tabs. Fix: skip DB-only sessions that
have no live in-memory counterpart.

The frontend router navigates to /instances/:instanceId/terminal without
project_id or repo_id. The backend terminal REST endpoints were requiring
these path params, causing 404s.
- Simplify _get_terminal_instance to validate by instance_id only
- Update all REST routes from /projects/{pid}/repositories/{rid}/instances/{iid}/terminal/*
to /instances/{instance_id}/terminal/*
- Update frontend API client to match new paths
- Update useTerminalSessions hook to take instanceId only
- Update TerminalPage to use simplified hook
- Update tests to match new paths
Fixes: 404 on GET /projects/repositories/instances/{id}/terminal/sessions
- Add test_tool_instances_legacy.py with 8 unit tests:
- dockerfile definition type builds from template
- dockerfile build failure raises HTTP 500
- compose definition type renders template
- manifest compiler is NOT called for legacy types
- start_instance legacy/compose/dockerfile types all skip manifest flow
- start_instance manifest type correctly invokes compiler
- Mark T3.2 and T3.3 tasks complete in OpenSpec
- Add openspec/docs/tool-workshop-guide.md with user guide covering
definition types, manifest creation workflow, base definitions,
migration path, and permissions
The production database was stamped with a migration that no longer exists
in the codebase (created on another branch, applied, then removed). This
adds a no-op bridge migration so Alembic can reconcile the DB state.
- Create bridge migration 2026_05_28_add_tool_definition_manifests (no-op)
- Re-chain terminal_sessions migration to depend on the bridge
- Fixes startup failure: Can't locate revision identified by ...
- Add tool_definitions API client with types for manifests
- Add ManifestEditor component: base image selector, package editors
(apt/npm/pip/node), script editors (build/startup), mount schema
designer, runtime config, and live preview panel
- Integrate ManifestEditor into Tool Workshop as 'Manifest (Declarative)'
definition type alongside Compose and Dockerfile
- Update ToolType API types to include manifest_id and 'manifest'
definition_type
- Frontend builds clean, TypeScript typecheck passes
