Summary

  • Add a user-managed Existing VM source configured with a validated SSH config alias.
  • Use fixed SSH/CUA MCP transport, readiness checks, screenshot polling, a single shared lease, and safe cleanup.
  • Preserve managed Local VM behavior while blocking Existing VM lifecycle, live viewer, and Take Control actions.
  • Add source-aware UI/config status and recursively scrub SSH aliases from companion responses.
  • Add transport, API, active-turn, packaging, and companion privacy coverage.

Verification

  • pnpm test - 1,456 passed, 75 skipped.
  • pnpm typecheck.
  • pnpm build.
  • pnpm build:server and
    ode scripts/smoke-packaged-server.mjs.
  • pnpm check:electron.

Notes

  • pnpm lint remains non-green because the repository-wide anti-slop lint currently reports existing baseline violations, plus diagnostics in some newly added transport/UI assertions.

Closes #254

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds support for connecting user-managed Existing VMs through validated SSH aliases. The server performs readiness checks and exposes screenshots through MCP. Existing VMs use separate leases and watch-only behavior. Configuration and device-facing payloads omit private SSH aliases.

Changes

Existing VM connector

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and alias scrubbing
server/config.ts, server/config.test.ts, companion/src/wire.ts, companion/test/*, src/state/store.tsx, src/state/store.test.ts
Local VM configuration supports managed or existing sources with validated SSH aliases. Companion responses and SSE events remove private aliases while preserving other fields.
Existing VM SSH and MCP transport
server/existing-vm.ts, server/existing-vm-mcp.ts, server/existing-vm.test.ts, server/proxy-paths.ts, scripts/bundle-server.mjs
Adds bounded SSH execution, MCP JSON-RPC communication, readiness checks, screenshot retrieval, status caching, and the packaged Existing VM bridge.
Server routing and watch-only lifecycle
server/index.ts, server/index.test.ts
Adds Existing VM ownership, status and screenshot routes, configuration persistence, cleanup, race handling, and restrictions on lifecycle mutations, viewing, and control.
Client state and Existing VM controls
src/components/LocalComputerSection.tsx, src/components/ComputerPanel.tsx, apps/docs/content/docs/computers/local-computer.mdx
Adds source-specific status contracts, Existing VM setup and diagnostics, SSH alias persistence, and watch-only preview behavior.
Container validation and bridge hardening
server/container-computer.ts, server/container-mcp.ts, server/vps-container-mcp.ts, server/mcp-bridge.ts, server/testing/png-fixture.ts, server/*test.ts
Adds managed container discovery, structural PNG validation, bounded MCP frame handling, shared control-gate parsing, and reusable PNG fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~100 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 335d3

The new Existing VM path can currently orphan per-bot containers and workspaces after a source change, and queued interrupts may be acknowledged without stopping the active turn. Malformed responses can also leave a session unusable, while readiness polling creates repeated SSH/MCP activity against user-managed VMs. These concrete risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

3522-3536: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Switching the source to Existing VM can orphan per-bot containers.

The per-bot deletion safeguards now run only when localVmSource(cfg) === "managed". A user who created per-bot managed VMs and then switched the source to existing can delete those bots. The containers and their workspaces stay on the host with no owning bot and no UI path to remove them.

Consider keeping the container check independent of the configured source, or blocking the source switch while per-bot containers exist (the shared-mode switch at Lines 4107-4119 already applies that pattern).

Fail closed when only one control variable is present.

If OMB_CONTROL_URL is set and OMB_CONTROL_TOKEN is empty (or the reverse), the bridge starts without a gate. The bot then drives the Existing VM with no who-is-driving hold. The current caller (existingVmComputerMcp) always sets both values together, so this is not reachable today, but the failure mode is silent.

Replace the inline conditional dependency with a derived value.

Line 160 places status?.source === "existing" ? status.sshAlias : null directly in the dependency array. The expression duplicates the narrowing logic in the effect body, and react-hooks/exhaustive-deps cannot verify it. A later change to the branch order in the body silently changes what the effect reacts to.

583-609: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Forced status checks skip in-flight deduplication.

When options.force is set, the code bypasses both the cache and statusInFlight. Two concurrent forced re-checks for the same alias therefore start two full probes, each spawning SSH connections and an MCP handshake. The Existing VM UI exposes a "Re-check" button that triggers a forced refresh, and the panel poller can run at the same time.

Consider joining an existing in-flight promise even when force is set, once the cache entry has been invalidated.

In `@server/existing-vm.test.ts`:
- Around line 50-52: Replace the marker-only fixture in the existing-vm
screenshot test with a structurally valid minimal PNG containing valid
signature, IHDR, IDAT, and IEND chunks, and add a failure case using PNG markers
with invalid chunk structure. Ensure the assertions verify successful acceptance
of the valid fixture and rejection of the malformed image through the complete
desktop image validation path.

In `@server/existing-vm.ts`:
- Around line 611-629: Update existingVmScreenshot to cache and reuse one
ExistingVmMcpClient per SSH alias across screenshot polls instead of invoking a
full runMcpProbe handshake each time. Reuse the cached client while healthy,
recreate it when closed or after an error, and ensure cached clients are closed
and removed when the lease is released or after the configured idle period.
- Around line 318-324: Update ExistingVm.read to close the transport when the
MCP output limit is exceeded: clear the buffer, invoke the existing close path
to stop the child process and mark the transport closed, and reject pending
requests through the existing failure handling. Ensure request and notify
consequently reject or ignore writes once closed.

In `@server/index.test.ts`:
- Around line 1275-1283: The test’s 409 assertion races with dispatch cleanup
because the unresolved fixture causes startTurn to release the lease before the
PATCH. Update the test around startTurn and the PATCH request to make the
active-turn window deterministic, either by controlling the bot’s lease entry
directly or stubbing the SSH readiness probe to remain blocked until the guard
assertion completes; preserve the expected 409 response and active-turn error.

In `@server/index.ts`:
- Around line 4085-4098: Update the local VM configuration guard to use the
bot’s busy state as a fallback when checking for active existing or local VM
turns, matching the established PATCH bot guard behavior. Ensure source and SSH
alias changes are rejected during the pre-lease dispatch window even when
existingVmActiveThreads or localVmActiveThreads has not yet been populated.

In `@src/components/LocalComputerSection.tsx`:
- Around line 304-318: Update both Managed VM/Existing VM segmented-control
button groups to include aria-pressed={source === value} on each button, using
the existing value comparison so assistive technology receives the selected
state.

2190-2201: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Replay queued interrupts after room dispatch.

Line 2190 can queue an interrupt before instance.adapter.sendTurn() registers the room thread. The same condition occurs for POST /api/groups/:id/interrupt. This path never consumes pendingTurnInterrupts after Line 2201.

The timeout or interrupt endpoint returns successfully, but the provider turn continues. Keep the room busy until it completes, then replay the queued interrupt as startTurn does at Lines 1858-1863.

164-190: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The 5-second poll runs a full Existing VM readiness probe against the user's VM.

For source === "existing", /api/local-computer calls existingVmStatus, whose cache TTL is 10 s (STATUS_CACHE_TTL_MS in server/existing-vm.ts). This effect polls every 5 s for as long as the Settings panel stays open, so roughly every other poll performs a fresh uname -s, cua-driver --version, and a complete MCP initialize + tools/list + get_desktop_state handshake over a new SSH connection. The managed source only inspects a local container, so the previous cadence was cheap.

Use a longer interval when the source is existing, and rely on the explicit Re-check button for immediate refreshes.

The win32 branch contains only a comment. An empty consequent is easy to misread and some lint rules reject it. Guard the POSIX-only setup instead.

♻️ Proposed change
-  if (process.platform === "win32") {
-    // The server still uses shell:false. Run the fixture through the same
-    // process-exec + script-prefix mechanism used by CLI tests rather than a
-    // .cmd shim, which CreateProcess cannot resolve safely without a shell.
-  } else {
+  // On Windows the server still uses shell:false, so the fixture runs through
+  // OMB_TEST_SSH_COMMAND plus a script prefix instead of a .cmd shim, which
+  // CreateProcess cannot resolve without a shell.
+  if (process.platform !== "win32") {
     const fakeSsh = join(fakeSshBin, "ssh");
     writeFileSync(fakeSsh, `#!/bin/sh\nexec "${process.execPath}" "${fakeSshScript}" "$@"\n`, "utf8");
     chmodSync(fakeSsh, 0o755);
   }

146-149: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Close the screenshot session created by this test.

existingVmScreenshot caches an ExistingVmMcpClient per alias. This test creates the vm-good session and never closes it. The fake MCP child keeps its stdio pipes open, and only the 30-second idle timer would discard it. Other tests call closeExistingVmScreenshotSessions() in a finally block. Add the same cleanup here (or in afterAll) so the child process does not outlive the test.

🧹 Proposed fix
-  afterAll(() => rmSync(temp, { recursive: true, force: true }));
+  afterAll(() => {
+    closeExistingVmScreenshotSessions();
+    rmSync(temp, { recursive: true, force: true });
+  });

- Around line 345-388: Update the invalid-JSON catch path in read to mark the
transport closed, clear the buffered data, and close the connection after
failing with ExistingVmError, matching the cleanup behavior of failOutputLimit
so later requests are not accepted.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/components/LocalComputerSection.tsx`:
- Around line 164-190: Update the polling effect in LocalComputerSection around
refresh and refreshKey so existing VMs use a substantially longer timeout than
the current 5-second interval, while managed sources retain the existing
cadence. Keep the explicit Re-check path immediate via refreshKey and preserve
the current cleanup, abort, and error-handling behavior.
