Summary

  • Carry the inactive Remote Workspace protocol foundation from feat(remote-control): add hub-mediated remote workspaces #3458: signed identity handshakes, directional encryption, capability contracts, bounded wire codecs and RPC framing. No server route or production terminal factory activates this layer.
  • Preserve Remote Hub provider routing and use current test/structure ownership. This is the bottom layer of an ordinary manual chain: protocol -> executor/runtime -> integration. The original draft remains open.
  • Co-authored-by: Ingwannu ingwannu@users.noreply.github.com

Verification

  • Documentation generator and structure consistency check: bun scripts/structure-ssot.ts --fix passed. git diff --check passed; source comparison and independent plan review completed.
  • Local product tests, typecheck, build and installation: NOT RUN, explicitly prohibited for this carry. Regression code is included; GitHub-hosted CI is tracked after publication at the final cumulative chain tip. No passing intermediate-tip suite claim is made.
  • Independent bounded security/architecture source review passed at the exact head below. This inactive protocol layer does not assert native execution confinement.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Current manual chain: #4344 (726ddc7fc0704c45299eef785e70624a07303784) -> #4362 (a3182185f0e089504d72e5729e4674cf0dc07ea1) -> #4372 (5c462fec1a1454a41e926a429acbdf1adf1e3bdf). The upper integration run 34675511791 remains pending and is not evidence for its upper layers.

Maintainer integration decision

The current maintainer explicitly integrates this foundation into dev under MAINTAINERS.md without claiming a second maintainer approval. Exact reviewed head: 726ddc7fc0704c45299eef785e70624a07303784. Cross-platform CI 34673816171 completed successfully at that head, including gates, Linux/macOS suites, keyring, package installation and aggregate ci. Windows suite and macOS-control jobs were skipped by this run's configured workflow; they are not claimed as executed.

Security/architecture review accounted for all 22 changed files: signed identity/capability/ephemeral-key handshakes, directional authenticated encryption, replay counters, bounded parsing/reassembly and import-only default-off behavior. No blocking source finding remains in this layer. This is a scoped source review plus hosted CI, not a native-confinement certification. The executor/runtime and activated integration layers remain separately blocked for fixes, review and their own CI. Original author credit is preserved. Local product tests/build/typecheck/install remain NOT RUN.

The change adds an inactive remote-workspace foundation. It defines authenticated remote-control sessions, opaque relay forwarding, workspace agent messages, capability-filtered tools, bounded RPC framing, UTF-8 handling, tests, documentation, and phased carry plans.

Changes

Remote Workspace Foundation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Phased carry and validation plan
devlog/_plan/260912_remote_workspace_carry/*
The planning documents define protocol, executor-runtime, integration, and hosted-validation phases. They record transformation rules, enforcement boundaries, activation requirements, rollback rules, and evidence requirements.
Authenticated protocol and terminal transport
src/remote-control/protocol.ts, src/remote-control/crypto.ts, src/remote-control/host.ts, src/remote-control/relay.ts, src/remote-control/index.ts
The modules add versioned relay and application frames, strict validation, Ed25519 and P-256 handshakes, AES-256-GCM session encryption, replay protection, terminal lifecycle handling, opaque relay forwarding, session limits, and public exports.
Workspace messages, tools, and bounded RPC
src/remote-control/workspace-agent-protocol.ts, src/remote-control/workspace-tools.ts, src/remote-control/workspace-rpc-framing.ts, src/remote-control/workspace-utf8.ts
The workspace modules add strict hub-agent messages, capability-filtered tools, relative-path schemas, developer instructions, bounded UTF-8 truncation, and ordered RPC fragmentation with limits and expiry.
Validation coverage and protocol documentation
tests/clients/*remote-control*.test.ts, tests/clients/*remote-workspace*.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json, structure/remote-workspace.md
Tests cover handshake authentication, encrypted terminal traffic, relay limits, message validation, tool filtering, UTF-8 boundaries, and RPC reassembly. Documentation and test-layout metadata register the inactive foundation.

The module is not yet activated, limiting immediate production exposure, but several protocol and lifecycle contracts should be corrected before later stack layers depend on this foundation.

리뷰 · 우선순위 61 / 80

이 PR은 Remote Workspace의 비활성 프로토콜 기초층src/remote-control/로 옮긴다. 서명 핸드셰이크, 방향성 암호화, capability, 바운드 코덱, RPC 프레이밍이 포함되고, 서버 라우트·프로덕션 터미널 팩토리는 연결하지 않는다. structure/remote-workspace.md도 “import만으로는 HTTP/연결/타이머가 없다”고 못 박는다. 기존 Remote Hub 라우팅 src/remote/와 이름이 비슷하지만 경로가 다르고, HEAD 81f6cd591에는 src/remote-control/가 아직 없다. mergeable·draft이며 CI 매트릭스는 대체로 녹색, merge 상태는 BLOCKED(리뷰/정책)다.

스택 순서가 본문에 고정돼 있다: #4344#4362(executor/hub runtime) → #4372(opt-in dashboard/admission). 최종 hosted run은 체인 tip에서 추적한다고 한다. 테스트는 protocol/rpc-framing/prototype 계약 위주이고, 플랫폼 명령 격리를 증명하지 않는다고 문서가 솔직하다. crypto(Ed25519, P-256, AES-GCM)와 바운드(reassembly expiry 등)가 들어가므로 “비활성”이어도 보안·아키텍처 리뷰는 열려 있어야 한다.

경로/심볼 - src/remote-control/index.ts - 공개 export가 foundation만인지, 실수로 host/relay를 서버 startup에 묶지 않았는지 머지 전 한 번 더 확인이 필요하다.
경로/심볼 - workspace-agent-protocol.ts - control envelope 키 집합·바이트 상한·reason 검증이 있다. 상위 #4362가 이 계약을 깨면 기초층부터 고쳐야 한다.
경로/심볼 - scripts/test-layout/layout.json + fixture - 레이아웃 SSOT 갱신이 따라온다. 체인 중간 tip에서 layout이 또 바뀌면 충돌 난다.
경로/심볼 - 보안 리뷰 - inactive라도 암호·세션 모델이 들어가므로 maintainer security/architecture PASS 없이 상위 활성화 PR만 먼저 넣는 것은 피해야 한다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
기초층으로 mergeable이고 활성화가 없어 위험이 상대적으로 낮다. #4362/#4372보다 먼저 넣고, 보안 리뷰 코멘트를 남긴 뒤 상위를 리베이스하는 순서를 추천한다. tip 녹색 전에는 체인 전체 ready 전환은 하지 말 것.

P2 Badge Catch asynchronous cleanup failures

When RemoteControlTerminal.close() returns a rejected promise after the terminal exits, this fire-and-forget this.close(sessionId) produces an unhandled rejection; the identical pattern in emitApplicationFrame does so when ciphertext delivery fails. Since the terminal contract explicitly permits asynchronous cleanup, attach a rejection handler or route cleanup through a centralized error-reporting path.

P2 Badge Reject oversized ciphertext while serializing

When a caller supplies a ciphertext payload just over 64 KiB (for example, 68,000 bytes), this serializer succeeds because its base64 JSON remains under the 96 KiB control-message limit, but parseRemoteWorkspaceHubMessage rejects the result because payload() caps decoded ciphertext at 64 KiB. The agent-side serializer has the same mismatch, so validate the decoded payload limit in both serializers to ensure emitted protocol messages can be parsed by their peer.

Add the protocol contract test to the exact file map.

The supplied stack registers tests/clients/remote-workspace-protocol.test.ts in this layer. Line 26 also requires protocol-only codec and UTF-8 negative cases. However, this map lists only the prototype and RPC-framing tests.

Add the source and destination row for remote-workspace-protocol.test.ts. This keeps the manual carry reproducible and prevents the required negative cases from being omitted.

Authorization Bypass

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization

Guard exit frames with terminal.output.

When a session lacks terminal.output, onOutput suppresses terminal data at src/remote-control/host.ts:150, but onExit still encrypts and sends the exit code at line 158. A client with terminal.input can use exit codes as a command-result oracle. Apply the same capability check to both terminal output frame types and add a regression test for an input-only session.

Proposed fix
       onExit: code => {
         if (session.closed) return;
-        this.emitApplicationFrame(sessionId, session, { kind: "exit", code });
+        if (session.capabilities.has("terminal.output")) {

Consume failures from background session cleanup.

Both calls discard the promise returned by close. If RemoteControlTerminal.close rejects, the rejection has no handler. The terminal cleanup also remains incomplete.

Use one background-close helper that catches the rejection and sends it to the subsystem's failure reporting mechanism.

Minimal containment
-        void this.close(sessionId);
+        void this.close(sessionId).catch(() => undefined);
...
-      void this.close(sessionId);
+      void this.close(sessionId).catch(() => undefined);

Prefer explicit error reporting over silent suppression when the owning transport provides an error callback.

As per coding guidelines: “Handle asynchronous failures at request, transport, and sidecar boundaries.”

Include the pending frame size in both backpressure checks.

At src/remote-control/relay.ts:118, compare frame.payload.byteLength with the remaining capacity. At line 156, encode the relay frame before the check and compare its byteLength with the remaining capacity. Otherwise, a 64 KiB frame can pass when bufferedAmount() is zero and maxBufferedBytes is 1.

In `@src/remote-control/relay.ts` at line 118, Update both backpressure checks in
the relay flow to include the pending frame size against remaining capacity: use
frame.payload.byteLength before session.client.send, and encode the relay frame
before the target check, comparing encoded.byteLength with maxBufferedBytes
minus bufferedAmount(). Preserve the existing close/error behavior, and add
tests for exact-fit and one-byte-over-capacity cases.

Reject mismatched session IDs in session_accept.

serializeRemoteWorkspaceAgentMessage at src/remote-control/workspace-agent-protocol.ts:161 does not compare the outer sessionId with message.hostHello.sessionId. The parser at lines 220–226 validates both values independently, then returns them together. A host hello for session A can therefore be serialized and parsed with outer session B. RemoteControlClientHandshake.complete cannot catch this mismatch because it receives only hostHello, not the outer ID.

Reject mismatches in both functions and add a regression test for the serializer and parser.

Proposed fix
-  if (message.type === "session_accept") value.hostHello = encodedHello(message.hostHello);
+  if (message.type === "session_accept") {
+    if (message.hostHello.sessionId !== message.sessionId) {
+      throw new Error("remote workspace session acceptance ID mismatch");
+    }
+    value.hostHello = encodedHello(message.hostHello);
+  }
+    const hostHello = decodedHello(value.hostHello, "host");
+    if (hostHello.sessionId !== sessionId) {
+      throw new Error("remote workspace session acceptance ID mismatch");
+    }
     return {
       version: REMOTE_WORKSPACE_AGENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
       type: "session_accept",
       sessionId,
-      hostHello: decodedHello(value.hostHello, "host"),
+      hostHello,
     };

Enforce the write_file limit in UTF-8 bytes.

src/remote-control/workspace-tools.ts:89 applies JSON Schema maxLength, which counts characters rather than UTF-8 bytes. parseRemoteWorkspaceToolCall returns arguments without validating its contents. The RPC layer accepts messages up to 2 MiB, so 262,144 four-byte characters can pass the schema and cross the protocol at about 1 MiB. Validate Buffer.byteLength(content, "utf8") against REMOTE_WORKSPACE_MAX_TOOL_RESULT_BYTES before writing, and add a multibyte-content regression test.
