Follow-up to #4208.

A hub dashboard opened through a non-loopback HTTPS management origin can be healthy and authenticated at the management plane while the browser still lacks a GUI session. In that state Remote Link could show the dead-end local-session warning instead of the existing one-time pairing workflow.

This patch:

  • detects the Remote Link page on a management-auth-required non-loopback hub without a GUI session;
  • shows the existing ConnectPairingForm instead of the dead-end warning;
  • derives the pairing command from the active browser/server origin;
  • leaves ordinary admin-token behavior on the other pages unchanged;
  • keeps origin binding and one-time code semantics unchanged.

Validation on current dev:

  • gui/tests/remote-link-route.test.tsx: 5 pass / 0 fail / 13 assertions
  • tests/server/link-management-routes.test.ts: 17 pass / 0 fail / 75 assertions
  • root TypeScript typecheck: PASS
  • live affected hub: one-time grant -> GUI session -> /api/link/status HTTP 200 through the published HTTPS management origin

No secrets or pairing codes are included.

UI evidence

Live published-hub capture with no GUI session. The page presents the one-time pairing flow and derives the command from the browser origin; the admin-token prompt was dismissed before capture.

Remote Link pairing UI

Review readiness checklist

This PR stays in draft until every box below is ticked. Tick all four boxes once the requirements are met:

  • Required local validation passed; commands, results, and any full-suite exception are documented.

  • I pushed my PR to a recent dev commit (at most 10 behind; a maintainer may still ask for the exact tip before merge).

  • I resolved all correct Codex and CodeRabbit findings.

  • My PR is ready for review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Remote Link now requires one-time pairing when management authentication is required and no shared session is ready, including on standalone dashboards and remote hub dashboards.
    • Remote Link stays unavailable until pairing completes and establishes the shared session.
  • Bug Fixes
    • The pairing screen no longer shows the local-session sign-in notice when pairing is required.
    • When management authentication is not declared as required, the local-session notice appears instead of a pairing prompt.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now marks GUI documents that require management authentication based on ingress and policy. On the remote page, App uses that declaration to require pairing when no shared session is ready. It shows the pairing form and withholds RemoteLink in that state.

Changes

Remote Link pairing

Layer / File(s) Summary
GUI document authentication declaration
src/server/index/serve-options.ts, tests/server/link-management-routes.test.ts
The server marks GUI documents as requiring management authentication for hub-management ingress or when API authentication is required by policy. Tests cover hub-management and public ingress with loopback and remote hostnames.
Pairing gate and route tests
gui/src/api-targets.ts, gui/src/App.tsx, gui/tests/remote-link-route.test.tsx
managementAuthRequiredFromDocument() checks whether the document’s management-auth-required meta tag is set to "1". App shows the pairing form and withholds RemoteLink when the page is remote, no shared session is ready, and management authentication is required. Tests cover that state and cases where the declaration is missing or set to "0".

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in gui/src/App.tsx: App now imports managementAuthRequiredFromDocument to determine whether Remote Link requires pairing.
  • observed — Modified behavior in gui/src/App.tsx: Adds remotePairingRequired, true when the page is remote, the shared session is unavailable, and management authentication is required by the document.
  • observed — Modified behavior in gui/src/App.tsx: The pairing form condition now includes remotePairingRequired as well as connected clients without a shared session.
  • observed — Modified behavior in gui/src/App.tsx: RemoteLink is withheld while remotePairingRequired is true; otherwise its existing props and navigation callback are unchanged.

리뷰 · 우선순위 54 / 80

이 풀리퀘스트의 바탕은 dev예요. 이 가지는 dev보다 커밋이 하나 앞서 있고, 뒤처진 커밋도 하나예요. types.ts와 config.ts를 나누는 글이 아니에요.

멀리 있는 허브 대시보드를 열면, 관리 화면은 정상인데 브라우저에는 GUI 세션이 없을 수 있어요. 그때 원격 연결 페이지는 "로컬 대시보드 세션에 로그인하세요"만 보여주고 멈춰요. 이 글은 그 페이지에서 이미 있는 일회용 페어링 화면을 보여 줘요. 명령은 지금 보고 있는 브라우저 주소로 만들어요. 다른 페이지의 관리자 토큰 입력은 그대로 둬요. 페어링이 필요하면 원격 연결 화면은 열지 않아요. 그래서 /api/link/status도 그 상태에서는 읽지 않아요.

라인 - gui/src/App.tsx 210줄 remotePairingRequired — 조건이 adminTokenPromptAllowed()예요. 이 함수는 메타 태그 opencodex-management-auth-required가 1이면 참이에요. 태그가 없고 역할이 hub여도 참이에요. Vite 개발 서버, 태그를 안 넣는 예전 서버, GUI만 따로 연 화면이 두 번째예요. 세션이 없는 그 hub에서 #remote를 열면 원격 연결 화면이 사라지고 ocx gui pair 창이 나와요. 지금 서버는 루프백 HTML에 메타 0을 넣어요. 0이면 함수는 거짓이라 그 화면은 그대로예요. 태그가 빠지면 hub는 페어링 창으로 바뀌어요. 이 함수의 주석은 루프백에서 사용자가 원인 아닌 질문을 받지 않게 하라고 적혀 있어요.

라인 - gui/tests/remote-link-route.test.tsx 122줄 — 새 테스트는 hub, 메타 1, https://opencodex.rhodiz.net만 봐요. 메타가 0이거나 태그가 없을 때 페어링 창이 나오면 안 되는지는 안 봐요. 주소는 작성자의 실제 서버 이름이에요. 아무 https 주소로도 명령이 브라우저 주소를 따르는지 확인할 수 있어요.

라인 - 준비 상태 — 초안이고 준비 칸은 0/4예요. enforce-target은 UI 스크린샷이 없어서 실패해요.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

페어링 창 문구는 원래 "이 대시보드를 허브에 연결"이에요. 이미 허브 화면에 서 있는 운영자에게 그 문구가 맞는지 정해 주세요. 게이트를 메타 태그 1로만 좁힐지도 정해 주세요.

너의 추천

방향은 유지하세요. 루프백이 아닌 주소에서 GUI 세션이 없으면 원격 연결 페이지에 일회용 페어링을 보여 주세요. 조건은 메타 태그가 정확히 1일 때만 켜세요. 태그가 없거나 0이면 원격 연결 페이지를 그대로 두세요. 그 경우를 테스트에 하나 넣으세요. 테스트 주소는 예시 https 주소로 바꾸세요. 바탕은 dev로 두세요. 화면 스크린샷을 본문에 넣고 준비 칸을 채운 뒤에 초안을 푸세요.

…ards (batch 9D) (#5986)

A second `ocx` instance now leaves the live proxy's shared client routing alone across startup, management requests, restart, and stop. The batch also makes Home-side Remote Link usable from the local dashboard, keeps OAuth device guidance current, and offers one-time pairing on an authenticated remote hub that lacks a GUI session.

| PR | Change | Author |
|---|---|---|
| #5926 | Isolate sibling startup, shared writes, restart and stop from the live owner. | JUN (lidge-jun) |
| #5928 | Admit the local Home dashboard to SSH host discovery/probe/apply, improve SSH resolution and bounded errors, and keep Child join paired-only. | JUN (lidge-jun) |
| #5911 | Show Meta Muse OAuth only to eligible GUI sessions and replace stale device hints through login. | Ingwannu, with shared device-hint work credited to codingbo |
| #5978 | Show the one-time pairing form on Remote Link for a remote hub without a GUI session. | RHODIZSECURITY |

The owner's three original commits retain JUN authorship. Each contributor PR remains one attributed squash commit. The older device-hint variant (#5915) is outside this branch because #5911 covers the same login behavior; its shared implementation is credited to codingbo.

Follow-up commits after independent review:

| Commit | Result |
|---|---|
| `66967095d0` | Restrict the new pairing display path to hub runtimes; a non-loopback standalone keeps its local-session guidance. |
| `fa182b9d2d` | Keep sibling-home roster updates available while skipping the shared Claude Desktop profile auto-apply, including after asynchronous discovery. |
| `32d7893113` | Require a fresh, home-bound listener proof before an orphan stop can signal a discovered proxy. |
| `dda805fbad` | Require a short-lived, one-use sibling restart handoff record bound to the prior sibling runtime and home; a port env alone cannot claim sibling status. |
| `37f368cf20` | Keep the connected-client sibling recycle path valid when its runtime record has no server attestation secret; the same-home PID, ports and process-local mark still gate issuance. |
| `a42fcac751` | Capture the connected sibling's one-use handoff before link recycle stops the listener and removes its runtime record; spawn with that captured environment. |
| `d3cc7b80bb` | Remove the Kiro cooldown test's timestamp-order race exposed by macOS CI. |

`dev` advanced during review. Merge commit `a4d9aff73e` brought in `177c647d9c` and kept both the SSH PATH and listener-before-supervisor Remote Link contracts. Merge commit `43d314287c` brings in current `dev` `93e5d5bea5` without changing the owner's commits. Their combined dashboard structure document exceeded its line budget; `1e93a8401b` reflows the existing OAuth paragraph from 603 to 600 lines without raising the cap. The Kiro timing correction also landed independently on `dev`; the merge keeps that current test.

Security re-review should focus on sibling start/stop and handoff (`src/codex/sibling-start.ts`, `src/codex/sibling-handoff.ts`, `src/client/runtime.ts`, `src/cli/index.ts`, `src/server/proxy-liveness.ts`), Desktop auto-apply (`src/server/management/agent-settings-routes.ts`), Remote Link admission and SSH (`src/server/management/link-routes.ts`, `src/link/ssh-argv.ts`, `src/link/ssh-runner.ts`), OAuth state and principal discovery (`src/oauth/index.ts`, `src/oauth/login-flow-state.ts`, `src/server/management/oauth-account-routes.ts`), and the hub-only pairing gate (`gui/src/App.tsx`). Independent reviewer sign-off remains required before merge.

Thanks! This landed on dev through bug-PR merge train batch 9D, #5986 (merge 6b2b66d), as one commit with you as the author and a Co-authored-by trailer. One follow-up on top: the pairing form appears only on hubs, since a non-loopback standalone dashboard cannot issue a grant. Closing since the content is now on dev.
