Agent terminal conduit D1: tuiui apphost socket client in the controller (spawn/input/roster/grid-read/kill)#2691jaylfc wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Adds tinyagentos.tuiui_conduit, a synchronous client for the tuiui
apphost Unix socket. Speaks newline-delimited externally-tagged JSON
per docs/design/taos-tuiui-spike-findings.md.
Operations: connect (default $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/tuiui-$USER/apphost.sock),
Spawn (cmd/args/cwd/cols/rows -> AppId + pid), send_input (raw bytes
serialised as integer array, NOT base64), list_apps (Roster), kill,
set_meta, shutdown, iter_frames, frame_lines (ANSI-free CellBuffer
grid -> plain text), and rebind_by_meta for meta-based AppId recovery
across daemon restarts.
Session-identity contract per the spike: AppId is transient within one
apphost lifetime; the SetMeta blob (typically {title, rect, z,
minimized, app_key}) is the persistent identifier. rebind_by_meta
rosters and matches by title (+ optional app_key) so the caller can
recover the new AppId after a daemon restart (counter resets to 1).
Out of scope for D1: bind-mounting the socket out of agent LXCs,
opencode wiring, UI. Gated on this client.
Tests: tests/test_tuiui_conduit.py runs against an in-test StubApphost
that speaks the same newline-JSON. Covers spawn round-trip, input byte
encoding on the wire, frame-to-text reconstruction, meta-based rebind
across a simulated apphost restart, and the default socket path. CI
does not require the real tuiui binary.
Proof: uv run pytest tests/test_tuiui_conduit.py -q -> 9 passed.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ChangesTuiui apphost conduit
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The client adds process-control and terminal-session access over a predictable fallback Unix socket without peer validation, and its synchronous event handling can drop terminal frames or associate replies with the wrong request. This could expose or disrupt apphost sessions and produce incorrect controller behavior, so the PR is not merge-ready until endpoint trust and event routing are fixed or explicitly accepted by owners.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
CRITICAL: iter_frames silently drops non-Frame events (line 300: if "Frame" not in evt: continue), but it shares the same socket/buffer as the request/response path. If a Spawned or Roster reply is interleaved between frames, this iterator consumes and discards it, so the corresponding _wait_for_matching will never see its reply and will block until timeout. Conversely, if a long-running frame stream is being consumed by a background thread, spawn()/list_apps()'s _wait_for_matching races with the iterator for _read_buf and may either miss events or return a Frame instead of the awaited reply. The docstring advertises "iterator can run alongside request/response traffic", but the implementation actively prevents that.

WARNING: _recv_event mutates _read_buf (lines 161 and 171) without holding self._lock, while _send (and therefore spawn/list_apps via _wait_for_matching) acquire the same lock around writes. Two concurrent threads — e.g. one iterating frames and one issuing a request — will race on the buffer, potentially reading a half-line JSON, corrupting state, or losing events. Either guard all socket I/O under the lock or document this class as strictly single-threaded and raise on concurrent use.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
WARNING: frame_lines slices frame.cells[start:start + width] trusting that len(cells) == rows * cols. If the apphost sends a grid whose cells length is not an exact multiple of cols (e.g. truncated, terminal resize mid-frame, or partial diff), the last row silently has fewer chars and .rstrip() will then mask missing trailing content rather than report it. Either assert/validate len(cells) == rows * cols on receipt, or pad short rows explicitly so the caller can distinguish "empty cell" from "missing data".

WARNING: connect() propagates raw OSError/FileNotFoundError/ConnectionRefusedError from socket.connect instead of wrapping them in TuiuiConduitError like every other public method does (e.g. _send raises TuiuiConduitError("not connected"), line 145). The class docstring says TuiuiConduitError is raised "when the apphost returns an error or the protocol is violated" — connection failures should be part of that contract. Callers using except TuiuiConduitError will miss the most common failure mode.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
WARNING: _extract_grid silently defaults cols to 80 (line 380) when the wire payload omits it, and rows is derived as len(cells) // cols (line 381). If the apphost ever sends a frame without a cols field but with a non-80-wide grid (e.g. 132-column mode), the row-major flattening will be wrong and frame_lines will produce garbled output with no signal that anything went wrong. Either require cols and raise on its absence, or record the inferred default as a sentinel so downstream consumers can detect the assumption.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Strengthen the synchronization and restart tests.
Two test cases do not reliably exercise the intended behavior:
- The fixed sleep near line 245 can race with the stub's input handling and cause false failures. Signal after
Inputis recorded and wait on that condition with a timeout. - The simulated restart near line 284 reuses AppId
1, so the test does not prove recovery after an AppId change. Allocate another app before restart and assert that the pre- and post-restart IDs differ.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not discard interleaved events while waiting for a reply.
A Frame received before Spawned fails the predicate and is lost. This contradicts the documented interleaving behavior and causes iter_frames() to miss output. Also, iter_frames() can concurrently consume and discard a Spawned or Roster reply, which leaves the request waiter blocked until timeout.
Use one synchronized socket reader and route events to buffered frame and reply queues. Do not let request waiters or frame iteration discard events for the other consumer.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Round up the inferred row count for flat grids.
When a flat grid has seven cells and cols is six, this computes one row. frame_lines() then drops the seventh cell. Use ceiling division when grid["rows"] is absent.
Proposed fix
- rows = int(grid.get("rows", max(1, len(cells) // max(1, cols))))
+ default_rows = (len(cells) + cols - 1) // cols if cols > 0 else 0
+ rows = int(grid.get("rows", default_rows))📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Reviewed — holding this one. iter_frames() reads the shared socket buffer at tuiui_conduit.py:150-171 without taking the lock other callers use, and the /tmp fallback socket path has no owner check. Fix-forward carded as tsk-xp536g on top of this branch; this PR stays open until that lands. |

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Agent terminal conduit D1: tuiui apphost socket client in the controller (spawn/input/roster/grid-read/kill)
Autonomous build of board card tsk-6oaua3.
Adds tinyagentos.tuiui_conduit, a synchronous client for the tuiui
apphost Unix socket. Speaks newline-delimited externally-tagged JSON
per docs/design/taos-tuiui-spike-findings.md.
Operations: connect (default $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/tuiui-$USER/apphost.sock),
Spawn (cmd/args/cwd/cols/rows -> AppId + pid), send_input (raw bytes
serialised as integer array, NOT base64), list_apps (Roster), kill,
set_meta, shutdown, iter_frames, frame_lines (ANSI-free CellBuffer
grid -> plain text), and rebind_by_meta for meta-based AppId recovery
across daemon restarts.
Session-identity contract per the spike: AppId is transient within one
apphost lifetime; the SetMeta blob (typically {title, rect, z,
minimized, app_key}) is the persistent identifier. rebind_by_meta
rosters and matches by title (+ optional app_key) so the caller can
recover the new AppId after a daemon restart (counter resets to 1).
Out of scope for D1: bind-mounting the socket out of agent LXCs,
opencode wiring, UI. Gated on this client.
Tests: tests/test_tuiui_conduit.py runs against an in-test StubApphost
that speaks the same newline-JSON. Covers spawn round-trip, input byte
encoding on the wire, frame-to-text reconstruction, meta-based rebind
across a simulated apphost restart, and the default socket path. CI
does not require the real tuiui binary.
Proof: uv run pytest tests/test_tuiui_conduit.py -q -> 9 passed.
