Bug 1 — in-container repo mounting:
- docker-compose.yml: added /data/working-copies:/data/working-copies mount
to API container so workspace dirs are visible on host filesystem
- Dockerfile: create /data/working-copies dir in image
Bug 2 — /home/user not writable:
- workspace_manager.py: chmod 777 workspace dirs + 666 files after clone
and after sync, so any container user can write
- manifest_compiler.py: explicit mkdir + chown + chmod 755 for home dir
in generated Dockerfile
Bug 3 — terminal text shifts left on typing:
- terminal.tsx: removed manual term.refresh() after fit (caused reflow)
- Track lastSentCols/lastSentRows and only send resize when dimensions
actually changed, preventing resize feedback loops
Bug 4 — ESC key captured by terminal:
- terminal.tsx: attachCustomKeyEventHandler allows ESC to propagate to
browser when not in alternate buffer (vim/tmux), so modals/navigation
work; ESC still sent to PTY when in vim/tmux alternate screen

- New StartToolFAB component: fixed floating button (bottom-right) opens
a modal with workspace selector + ToolStarter
- Added to AppShell: available on every page except mobile terminal
- Dashboard (home): removed old CreateSessionForm and 'Quick create' section,
replaced with FAB + 'Workspaces quick access' prompt
- Sessions page: removed inline workspace selector + ToolStarter, now
shows prompt to use the FAB
- Styles: .start-tool-fab with hover scale, shadow, mobile offset above tab bar

- Delete inline hardcoded StartToolModal from workspace-detail.tsx
- Import shared StartToolModal that fetches real tool types from API
- Pass workspace object to ToolsTab so shared modal gets proper context
- onStart handler passes optional configProfileId through to useWorkspaceInstances.create()
Quality gates: tsc --noEmit clean
- Fetch real tool types from API instead of hardcoded string names
- Use actual tool type UUID (id) as select value
- Remove fake 'terminal' option — terminal is a feature, not a tool type
- Show display_name in dropdown, handle loading/error states

Backend (git_repositories.py):
- get_repository_branches: check for .git dir OR HEAD file (handles bare repos)
- When local repo is missing, git ls-remote fallback now uses SSH key auth
via _prepare_ssh_env() for repos with ssh_key_id
- Cleans up temp SSH key file after ls-remote
- Logs ls-remote stderr/exit code for debugging
- Returns server's detail message instead of raw axios 404 text
Frontend (use-git-repo.ts):
- extractError() helper pulls server detail/message from axios responses
- User sees 'repository not found on disk — re-clone or re-create'
instead of generic 'Request failed with status code 404'
Quality gates: ruff clean, tsc --noEmit clean, 11 passed + 1 pre-existing failure
Backend (git_repositories.py):
- get_repository_branches now checks for .git subdirectory (not just dir existence)
- If local repo is corrupt/missing but has remote_url, falls back to git ls-remote
to list branches from the remote
- Returns 404 with actionable message instead of 400 with raw git stderr
- Pre-existing test failure in test_git_repository_clone_preflight.py unchanged
Frontend (workspace-create-form.tsx):
- When branch API fails, auto-switches to manual text input (no dropdown selection needed)
- Shows hint text: 'Couldn't load branches — type one manually'
- useGitRepo hook auto-fetches branches when projectId/repoId change
Quality gates: ruff clean, tsc --noEmit clean, 93 passed + 1 pre-existing failure
- Rewrite WorkspaceCreateForm as unified component used in both pages
- Standalone mode (WorkspacesPage): shows project/repo/branch selectors
- Contextual mode (ProjectsPage): accepts defaultProjectId/defaultRepoId,
skips project/repo selectors, shows only name + branch dropdown
- Branch dropdown fetched from repo via listRepositoryBranches API
- Auto-selects first/only option for project, repo, and branch
- '+ Create new branch...' option reveals text input for custom branch
- Falls back to free-text branch input if branch API fails
- Removes duplicated inline creation logic from WorkspacesPage
- TypeScript + eslint clean
- Fetch branches from selected repo via listRepositoryBranches API
- Branch dropdown with default branch pre-selected
- '+ Create new branch...' option reveals text input for custom branch
- Auto-select first option when only one available:
- Project: auto-selects when only 1 project
- Repo: auto-selects when only 1 repo
- Branch: auto-selects when only 1 branch, otherwise defaults to remote default
- Falls back to free-text branch input if branch API fails
- TypeScript + eslint clean
- Replace awkward first-workspace-guessing logic with inline project/repo selector
- New WorkspaceCreateInline component with cascading dropdowns:
- Select project → loads repositories for that project
- Select repository → enter workspace name + branch
- Submit creates workspace via top-level POST /workspaces/
- Add createWorkspaceTopLevel() API client for flat endpoint
- Works even with zero existing workspaces (shows create button in empty state)
- Add CSS grid layout for inline create form
- TypeScript + eslint clean
- Add all_workspaces_router with GET /workspaces/ (no project/repo required)
- Include project_id in workspace responses
- Frontend: useWorkspaces() calls listAllWorkspaces when no args
- Frontend: WorkspacesPage uses top-level list, derives project/repo from workspace for mutations
- Fixes 422 from invalid UUID path params
FastAPI auto-redirects /workspaces to /workspaces/ with 307.
Behind Traefik (HTTP internal), the 307 becomes http://,
triggering Mixed Content in the browser. Adding trailing
slashes avoids the redirect entirely.
Fixes NameError: ToolInstance not defined at runtime because
type annotations are evaluated at class definition time.
Deferring annotation evaluation with __future__ annotations
keeps TYPE_CHECKING imports from causing runtime crashes.
Also includes ruff formatting cleanup on workspace-related files.
The API container used a named Docker volume (repo_data:/data/repos) for
storing repositories. When creating tool instances with direct mount mode,
the API told Docker to bind-mount /data/repos/<repo>:/workspace into the
tool container. But the Docker daemon resolves bind-mount paths on the HOST
filesystem, not inside the API container. Since the host had no /data/repos
(the repos only existed inside the named volume), tool containers mounted
empty directories.
Changed both compose files to use a host bind mount (/data/repos:/data/repos)
instead of a named volume. This ensures:
- The API container and tool containers both see the same /data/repos path
- Bind mounts from /data/repos into tool containers work correctly
For existing installations: repos previously stored in the repo_data named
volume should be copied to /data/repos on the host before restarting the
stack.
Quality gates: compose file syntax valid
- apps/api/src/services/tunnel.py: add 2-second sleep after discovering the
tunnel URL to allow Cloudflare DNS edge propagation before returning
- apps/web/src/hooks/use-instance-actions.ts: show alert() with the backend
error message when recreate tunnel fails, instead of silently swallowing
errors
Quality gates: ruff clean, tsc clean
Replace the subprocess-based tunnel implementation with Docker containers
running on the host network. This eliminates all container name resolution
bugs that caused tunnel 502 errors.
New design:
- Each tunnel is a docker run --network host cloudflare/cloudflared container
- cloudflared connects to localhost:{published_port} (Docker port forwarding)
- No dependency on container names, backend network DNS, or binding diagnostics
- Tunnels named predictably: tunnel-{instance_name}
- Start/stop/recreate use container names instead of PIDs
Files changed:
- NEW: apps/api/src/services/tunnel.py — clean tunnel module (start/stop/recreate/health)
- apps/api/src/services/docker.py — removed 250 lines of old tunnel code
- apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py — use new tunnel module, store container_name
- apps/api/src/services/health_monitor.py — updated import
- apps/web/src/components/session-card.tsx — Recreate Tunnel button always visible
Quality gates: ruff clean, 13 tests passed (health_monitor + notifications)
Show the Recreate Tunnel button on all active web-enabled session cards
(instead of only when tunnel_status is unreachable) so users can manually
trigger tunnel recreation at any time. Also adds it to the mobile action sheet.

- Dual-mode touch scroll:
- Normal mode: scroll .xterm-viewport directly when scrollHeight > clientHeight
- Alternate screen (tmux/vim): send SGR 1006 mouse-wheel protocol data
using cursor position so tmux knows which pane to scroll
- Add touch-action: none to .terminal-container to prevent browser gestures
- Lock both html and body overflow when terminal page is open on mobile
- Remove synthetic WheelEvent approach (xterm.js SmoothScrollableElement
doesn't reliably handle synthetic events)
- Attach capture-phase touch listeners to .terminal-container (parent of xterm)
- On vertical swipe: e.preventDefault() blocks page scroll, then directly
adjust .xterm-viewport.scrollTop by the swipe delta
- This bypasses term.scrollLines() API and directly manipulates the DOM
element that xterm.js watches via its internal scroll handler
- Remove all CSS touch-action overrides — container handles it in JS
- Add full mobile viewport CSS: overflow-y scroll, -webkit-overflow-scrolling
touch, overscroll-behavior-y contain, translate3d hardware accel,
scroll-behavior smooth, touch-action pan-y
- After term.open(), find .xterm-viewport and add passive touch listeners
that call stopPropagation() (not preventDefault) — this lets the browser
handle native touch scrolling while preventing xterm.js internal handlers
from interfering
- Based on xterm.js known issue #5489 and SCROLLING_FIX.md approach
- xterm.js has zero touch event handlers (verified: only 1 'touch' ref in
entire library), so it wasn't intercepting anything
- Our touch-action: none + preventDefault() combo was blocking the browser
from scrolling the .xterm-viewport natively
- Removed all custom touch event handlers from terminal.tsx
- Removed touch-action: none from .terminal-container
- Added touch-action: pan-y to .xterm-viewport so browser allows vertical pan
- Body scroll lock (terminal-page-open) prevents page from scrolling
- Attach touch listeners to document with capture:true instead of container
- Check if touch target is inside terminal container before handling
- This runs before xterm.js internal handlers, giving us full control
- Add touch-action: none to terminal container to prevent browser gestures
- Lower threshold to 3px, 20px per line for responsive scrolling
- Add body.terminal-page-open { overflow: hidden } to prevent page scroll
- TerminalPage adds/removes 'terminal-page-open' class on body when mounted
- Re-add capture-phase touch listeners in terminal.tsx with low 3px threshold
- Call e.preventDefault() immediately when vertical gesture is detected,
before browser compositor commits to page scroll
- Remove CSS touch-action overrides on xterm viewport (now handled in JS)
- Scroll forwarded via term.scrollLines() with 24px per line sensitivity
- Remove all custom touch event interception code from terminal.tsx
- After term.open(), find the internal .xterm-viewport element and set
touchAction=pan-y and overscrollBehavior=contain via inline styles
- Add CSS targeting .xterm-viewport on mobile with touch-action: pan-y,
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch, and overflow-y: auto
- Let the browser handle vertical touch panning natively instead of
trying to intercept and manually forward events
- Attach touch listeners to container wrapper in CAPTURE phase so they run
before xterm.js internals stop propagation
- Add e.stopPropagation() in touchmove after handling scroll to prevent
xterm.js from conflicting with our scroll
- Add wheel event fallback for mobile browsers that synthesize wheel from touch
- Remove touch-action: none CSS which was blocking native xterm viewport scroll
- Attach touch listeners to term.element (xterm root) instead of wrapper
- Fix scroll direction: swipe up now scrolls up (shows older buffer)
- Remove RAF indirection; scroll applied synchronously in touchmove
- Accumulate delta between events for smoother scrolling
- Lower threshold to 6px and px-per-line to 16 for better responsiveness
- Add touch-action: none to terminal container on mobile
- Intercepts touch events on the terminal container when isMobile=true
- Detects vertical swipe gestures (dominant over horizontal movement)
- Translates swipe distance to xterm.js scrollLines() calls
- Uses requestAnimationFrame for smooth scroll updates
- Threshold of 10px before scroll kicks in; 30px per line
- Touch listeners cleaned up on component unmount
- Uses navigator.wakeLock.request('screen') to keep device awake
- Re-acquires wake lock when tab becomes visible again
- Releases wake lock on component unmount
- Silently ignored on unsupported browsers or if denied
- Add SpecialKeysStrip and SpecialKeysPanel to mobile terminal page
- Store sendData and focusInput refs via onTerminalReady callback
- Pass activeModifier/onModifierChange to TerminalComponent on mobile
- Add virtual keyboard padding to prevent keyboard from covering terminal
- Special keys bar sits at bottom of viewport, panel opens as overlay
- Replace inline header+tabs layout with position:absolute overlay
- Overlay contains: back button, session name, status dot, A-/A+ font size, exit
- Session tabs live inside the overlay below the toolbar
- Auto-hides after 3s; clicking terminal content hides it immediately
- Pull handle at top edge appears when overlay is hidden to restore it
- Terminal content always fills full viewport; overlay never resizes container
- Pass showControls=false to TerminalComponent on mobile to avoid double headers
Notification filtering:
- lifecycle_hooks.py: only instance.error and instance.health_changed
with status=running generate notifications. All other lifecycle events
(created, started, stopped, restarted, deleted) are filtered out.
- health_monitor.py: only error and unhealthy states generate notifications.
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
- Updated notification-center tests
Quality gates: pytest (21 passed), vitest (11 passed)
The create-session-form was calling startInstance() without passing the
selected config profile and SSH keys. This caused the backend to receive
ssh_key_ids=[] and clear the keys that were stored during createInstance.
The .ssh directory was never mounted because instance.ssh_key_ids was
wiped during the start call.
Also includes minor formatting cleanup on the data migration.

- Add ssh_key_id column to ConfigProfile model and migration
- Update config profile API to accept/return ssh_key_id

- Add POST /config-profiles/validate-git-url endpoint:
- Parses URL using existing parse_git_url utility
- Suggests corrected URL for browser URLs
- Runs git ls-remote --heads to verify reachability
- Lists available branches from remote
- Supports SSH key for private repos
- Returns structured response: valid, suggested_url, branches,
default_branch, error, error_code
- Update frontend GitMountEditor:
- Add Check button next to URL field with loading state
- Show validation result: valid (green), suggestion (yellow),
invalid (red)
- Suggestion includes Use this button to apply corrected URL
- Branch field becomes dropdown when URL is validated,
populated with remote branches
- Mappings section disabled until URL is validated
- Shows hint: Validate the URL first
