📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe desktop service adds a macOS backend and multiplayer presence. The CLI adds scoped sharing and SSH tunnel commands, while the viewer and MCP workflows support participant cursors and participant-bound control. The change also adds tests, documentation, and cross-platform CI. ChangesShared Desktop

298-306: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueThe
viewercommand callsfetchon an endpoint thatserviceURLhas not validated, and the request sends the bearer token.This
fetchbuilds its URL directly fromd.endpointand attachesAuthorization.readCredentialdoes callserviceURL, so plain-HTTP remote endpoints are already rejected. The risk is limited to future changes in that validation path. For consistency withdesktopCall, useserviceURL(d.endpoint)here.Proposed change
- const sessionResponse = await fetch( - d.endpoint.replace(/\/$/, "") + "/session", + const viewerBase = serviceURL(d.endpoint).href.replace(/\/$/, ""); + const sessionResponse = await fetch( + viewerBase + "/session",🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Inline comments:
Review comments at @.github/workflows/shared-desktop.yml:
- Line 21: Update the actions/checkout@v4 step in the shared desktop workflow to
set persist-credentials to false, preventing dependency install and build
scripts from accessing the stored checkout token.
Review comments at @native/macos/Driver.swift:
- Line 645: Update both geometry-producing paths to convert CGRect origin values
to Double before boxing them in the geometry dictionaries. Keep width and height
handling unchanged so desktopInput() can read negative x and y origins
correctly.
Review comments at @src/desktop/client.ts:
- Around line 33-34: Update readCredential to include O_NONBLOCK in the flags
passed to open, alongside O_RDONLY and O_NOFOLLOW, so opening a named pipe
cannot block before the file-type check.
Review comments at @src/desktop/server.ts:
- Line 73: Replace the UID-derived TCP lock in the Mac branch of the server
startup flow with a per-user lock owned within the 0700 registry directory, such
as a file lock or a Unix socket with a liveness check. Keep the existing lock
behavior for non-Mac platforms.

Summary
People and agents can share an existing Mac or Linux X11 desktop through scoped credentials, with named cursor overlays and explicit control handoff. Remote clients connect through HTTPS or OpenSSH; actual OS input remains exclusive to the current lease owner.
desktop-api share,tunnel, andviewer; validate remote endpoints, wait for SSH forwarding readiness before sending credentials, and retain unknown input outcomes without replay.Validation
Limits
Real Mac capture/input is verified on disposable macOS CI. The local Mac bridge timed out, so two physical Macs over a Tailnet and installed-helper permission attribution still need hardware qualification. Cursors are visual overlays, not independent simultaneous physical input devices. Local hardware and other automation bypass broker arbitration. No VM management or app-session migration is included. The viewer uses PNG polling; legacy standalone bundles do not include
desktop-apicommands, so use the npm distribution.No npm release or version bump is included.
