Updates the native Netty transports from 4.2.17.Final to 4.2.18.Final and aligns their transitive codecs and handlers to that same release. Previously grpc-netty 1.84.0 kept HTTP/2, HTTP and handler artifacts at 4.2.16 while the native transports selected newer core classes.

  • One shared Netty version now controls epoll, kqueue, unix-common and the BOM.
  • IPC and the separate Ktor server both consume the BOM, so their Netty modules resolve consistently.
  • A platform-gated gRPC round-trip test loads kqueue on macOS or epoll on Linux, binds a temporary Unix socket, and sends ASCII process-token metadata through the HTTP/2 stack. Windows keeps its existing TCP coverage. The test owns and shuts down its event loop; it does not launch the desktop app.

Contributor credit: Dependabot authored the original three-module transport update in both #657 (747497be7) and #658 (bb6283c3c). Their original complete Git trees were identical. This older PR preserves both contributions; #658 is closed as a verified duplicate. The review agent added the shared version/BOM alignment and native regression test in response to the Claude findings. No human authorship is reassigned.

Upstream release: https://github.com/netty/netty/releases/tag/netty-4.2.18.Final . HTTP/2 header value validation is stricter in this release. The BOM reaches the HTTP/HTTP2 artifacts used here; this is not a claim that every advisory in the upstream release applies to BOSS or that independently bundled plugin runtimes are upgraded.

Validation and final disposition are recorded in the review comments. No native Linux execution is claimed from the local macOS run, and no app launch or database deployment is part of this PR.

Dependency review: netty 4.2.17.Final → 4.2.18.Final

  • Diff the change against origin/dev
  • Trace netty consumers (:boss-ipc, server/, grpc)
  • Check native classifier handling
  • Resolve the actual netty graph from the CI log
  • Assess CI / regression coverage
  • Post findings

Verdict: safe to merge, but it does not do what the release notes imply. The diff is mechanically correct - all three coordinates move in lockstep and CI is green on all three OSes - but this bump remediates none of the 30 advisories listed in the PR body, and it leaves the netty family split across two patch versions on the shipped classpath.


What actually lands on the classpath

From the code-quality job's ./gradlew :composeApp:dependencies output (run 34828575988, log lines 6196-6290) - composeApp depends on project(":boss-ipc") (composeApp/build.gradle.kts:987), so this is the real shipped graph:

Resolved to 4.2.18.Final Stays at 4.2.16.Final (from grpc-netty:1.84.0)
netty-common, netty-buffer, netty-transport, netty-resolver netty-codec-http2
netty-transport-native-unix-common netty-codec-http, netty-codec-base, netty-codec-compression
netty-transport-native-{epoll,kqueue} + netty-transport-classes-{epoll,kqueue} netty-handler, netty-handler-proxy, netty-codec-socks

Two consequences:

1. No advisory in the 4.2.18 notes is fixed by this PR. Every one of them is in a codec/handler module - netty-codec-http (HTTP/1.1 request smuggling, unbounded resource usage, header validation), netty-codec-http2 (DoS, HPACK table limits, header validation), netty-handler-ssl-ocsp, -stomp, -smtp, -redis, -mqtt, -haproxy, -memcache, -http3, -classes-quic. None is in netty-common/-buffer/-transport/-transport-native-*. The two modules this repo is actually exposed through - netty-codec-http2 and netty-codec-http, both arriving via grpc-netty and both on the shipped classpath - remain at 4.2.16.Final after this merge. If the intent was CVE remediation, this PR does not achieve it.

2. The family is now version-split. Netty's own guidance is that all io.netty artifacts be pinned to one version (that is what netty-bom is for); nothing guarantees a 4.2.16 codec against a 4.2.18 netty-common/netty-transport core, and there is no resolutionStrategy or force anywhere in the build to align them. The split is pre-existing (4.2.17 vs 4.2.16) rather than introduced here, and CI compiles and passes, so this is not a merge blocker - but it is the thing worth fixing, and fixing it also collects the codec CVEs above.

The alignment is not free, though, and deserves its own tested PR rather than a blind bump: per the release notes, 4.2.18 enables HTTP/2 header value validation by default. gRPC metadata is the traffic that would meet it, and :boss-ipc is the IPC transport, so :boss-ipc:test plus a KERNEL-mode smoke run should gate it. Fix this →

CI coverage gap: nothing loads the native libraries

This is the one finding specific to bumping native artifacts. IpcRoundTripTest.kt:23 says it outright:

Uses TCP (not UDS) for simplicity in tests - avoids platform-specific socket configuration.

So no test in :boss-ipc ever reaches Epoll/KQueue. The green run proves the four classifier artifacts exist and download for 4.2.18 and that IpcAddressResolver.kt still compiles against them - it proves nothing about the .so/.dylib actually loading. The UDS path in IpcAddressResolver.configureServerBuilder (modules/boss-ipc/.../IpcAddressResolver.kt:129-160) is reached only in BOSS_MODE=KERNEL, which is opt-in, so an UnsatisfiedLinkError from a bad native jar would ship undetected to exactly the users running microkernel mode. A platform-gated Epoll.isAvailable() / KQueue.isAvailable() assertion would run for free on the existing ubuntu-latest + macos-latest matrix. Fix this →

Minor: the version is a literal, three times

gradle/libs.versions.toml:229-231 repeat version = "4.2.18.Final" instead of a [versions] netty ref, unlike every neighbouring family (grpc, protobuf, ktor). Dependabot happened to rewrite all three here, but nothing in the build enforces it - and :boss-ipc is the one module where three netty coordinates must agree. Worth folding into the bom change above rather than as its own PR.

Checks that came back clean

  • Native classifiers - correct and complete. All four (osx-x86_64, osx-aarch_64, linux-x86_64, linux-aarch_64) are unconditional implementation deps in modules/boss-ipc/build.gradle.kts:42-53, so the ubuntu run resolves the macOS jars too - the green build is real evidence that every 4.2.18 classifier artifact publishes. Crucially, the Java side is not hand-pinned: netty-transport-classes-{epoll,kqueue} arrives transitively from the native module's own POM (log lines 6272, 6282), so classes and natives are structurally incapable of drifting apart. Good shape.
  • Kotlin / Compose alignment - not implicated. :boss-ipc is kotlinJvm on a JDK 17 toolchain with no Compose; netty is a runtime-only JVM dep. Kotlin 2.4.10 and Compose MP 1.12.0 are untouched, and grpc-netty is already on the netty 4.2 line, so there is no 4.1/4.2 split to worry about.
  • Windows - unaffected. No native transport is declared for it; configureServerBuilder throws UnsupportedOperationException for UDS there and the resolver falls back to TCP. windows-latest passed.
  • jlink module list - unaffected. jdk.unsupported is already included for netty's sun.misc.Unsafe (composeApp/build.gradle.kts:1442).
  • server/ is a separate graph. It uses ktor-server-netty at ktor 3.5.2, whose netty comes from ktor's own POM and is untouched by this catalog entry - so the netty-codec-http HTTP/1.1 smuggling advisories there would need a ktor bump or a bom, not this PR.
  • :boss-ipc ships downstream as a bare jar. gradle/upstream-artifacts.gradle.kts copies boss-ipc-1.0.0.jar with no POM, so this version does not propagate to the boss-microkernel-runtime repo - that side pins netty independently and any skew there is invisible to this PR. Only relevant if that repo drives the UDS path.
  • @file:Suppress("DEPRECATION") at IpcAddressResolver.kt:1 still holds: 4.2.18 has not removed the EpollEventLoopGroup/KQueueEventLoopGroup constructors. Worth noting the file-wide suppression will also hide new deprecations elsewhere in that file on a future bump, and netty 4.2's replacement is MultiThreadIoEventLoopGroup with an IoHandlerFactory. Not a blocker.

Recommendation: merge as-is (it is a clean, green patch bump), then open a follow-up that pins the whole netty family through netty-bom - that is the change that actually delivers the security fixes this PR's description advertises, and it needs the HTTP/2 header-validation behaviour change tested rather than assumed.

I could not verify artifact publication or grpc's POM directly - network access was not granted in this environment - so every version claim above is read out of the PR's own CI log rather than from Maven Central.

Global Search matched an open tab only against its title, and TabResult
hardcoded url = null / filePath = null on every hit. A browser tab whose
title never mentions its domain, or an editor tab someone wants to find
by path rather than filename, could not be found at all.

searchTabs now also scores a browser tab's FluckTabInfo.currentUrl and
an editor tab's EditorTabInfo.filePath, through the same substring-
containment gate (proseScore) searchRecentPages already uses for a
page's URL, since a fuzzy subsequence match over a whole URL or path is
close to meaningless. TabResult carries the real url/filePath instead
of null, and the tab row's subtitle now leads with the workspace name
(disambiguating identical URLs open in different workspaces, or across
windows) followed by the url/filePath/tabType, in place of the old
"tabType • workspaceName" line.

11 tests cover: URL-only and file-path-only matches, both fields
populated for the right tab type and left null for the other/a blank
path, a short query not matching a URL by fuzzy accident, title+URL
both matching taking the higher (title) score with title highlight
ranges preserved, live navigation changing which URL matches (and the
old URL no longer matching), directory-path matching without a
subsequence false-positive, and no-open-tabs contributing nothing
rather than failing.
* Stop anon reaching schema public by inheritance, and scope identity to real orgs

The BOSS Supabase anon key is compiled into this repo, which is public. Anything
`anon` can execute is therefore executable by anyone. Verified on 2026-09-08:

  * get_encryption_key() returned the Vault master encryption key, unauthenticated.
    decrypt_text() was anon-callable beside it, making a decryption oracle over
    everything encrypt_text protects - user secrets and the QBO/Google broker
    credentials.
  * find_user_by_email() confirmed any address and returned its uuid.
  * list_shareable_recipients() returned 152 users WITH full email addresses to
    any self-registered account, and 82 @risalabs.ai addresses on a search.
  * arcade_leaderboard() and arcade_bs_standings() published the roster of
    everyone who had opened the Arcade, unauthenticated.

None of it was granted on purpose. PostgreSQL hardwires EXECUTE to PUBLIC on
every new function, PUBLIC includes anon, and this project's default privileges
add anon on top - so a SECURITY DEFINER function is internet-callable from the
moment it is created. Both revokes are traps in mirror image: `from public`
leaves the explicit anon grant, `from anon` leaves the hardwired PUBLIC one, and
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES cannot remove the latter at all (pg_default_acl loses
the entry and new functions still get `=X`).

  20260908000000  event trigger: revoke PUBLIC+anon on every function created in
                  schema public. An explicit `grant ... to anon` after the create
                  still wins - anon access must be stated, never inherited.
  20260908010000  org_visible_users / org_is_vetted / user_display_name: ONE
                  definition of "may this account learn who that account is",
                  shared by the Arcade and poker rather than copied. Vetted means
                  a human approved the join, which excludes the catch-all `boss`
                  org every account joins on signup (153 members, 20 domains).
  20260908020000  route list_shareable_recipients through both. It was already
                  org-scoped, which is why it looked right; it accepted ANY
                  shared org.
  20260908030000  one-time sweep of the ~30 functions that already had the
                  inherited grant. The RBAC mutators fail closed
                  (is_user_admin(NULL) is false), so this is defence in depth,
                  not a patched escalation.

The rule is a SET, not a per-target predicate: as a per-row qual it is pushed
below a DISTINCT ON and evaluated once per underlying row - 2.7s over 29k score
rows for 45 players, against 37ms.

supabase/audit/identity_disclosure_audit.sql is the standing check, because "we
fixed the leak" is not a durable claim. All four checks report HEALTHY.

Left deliberately anon-callable, each documented where it is kept: the plugin
store browse API, the three helpers called from RLS policies on anon-readable
tables, and custom_access_token_hook. Verified after the sweep that anonymous
plugin-store browse and signed-in RBAC reads both still work.

* Add the master-key rotation procedure, and rotate

get_encryption_key() was anon-callable, so the Vault master_encryption_key was
retrievable by anyone holding the project anon key - which ships compiled into
this public repo. Revoking access does not un-disclose a key, so it was rotated
on 2026-09-09 and the 184 rows encrypted under it re-encrypted.

Scope of the original exposure, stated precisely because the capability was
worse than the reach: decrypt_text() was anon-callable beside it, so an attacker
holding ciphertext from ANY channel - a backup, an export, a screenshot - could
decrypt it through the API without even needing the key. But no bulk read path
to that ciphertext existed: qbo_token_state and google_token_state have no
client grants at all, and all 178 secrets rows have org_id NULL, so the secrets
policy reduces to owner-only. This was a serious latent vulnerability - one
org-shared secret, one RLS slip, or anyone with backup access would have had
plaintext - rather than a confirmed bulk disclosure.

The script is kept because rotation is not a one-off. It is atomic (one DO
block), self-verifying (md5 of every row's plaintext captured before, re-derived
after through decrypt_text so the check covers both the swap and the data), and
a mismatch or row-count drift raises and rolls back, so a broken rotation cannot
commit. Verified after the run: the live key differs from the disclosed one,
184/184 rows decrypt under it, and the disclosed key opens 0 rows.

The old key is retained in the Vault under an explicit name. Do NOT delete it
while pre-rotation backups exist - they are encrypted under it.

Addresses the handoff's database-integration item and the substantiated findings
from the current-head review. Everything below was executed against the PR's own
Supabase preview branch, not asserted from reading.

**The blocker: rotation refused to run once #417 landed.** The guard was a
blanket "TOTP is installed, refuse everything". It is now an adapter. The stored
form is 'v1:' || encrypt_text(...) - same cipher, same key, only the framing
differs - so the column map gained an envelope prefix and rotates like the rest
once the prefix is stripped and re-applied. Three things this needed that reading
the diff would not have shown:

  * #417's trigger RAISES on a v1: value ('TOTP input must be plaintext, not a
    storage envelope'), so the re-encryption update is rejected outright. The
    reviewed trigger is now disabled for the update and restored after, inside
    the same transaction.
  * safe_decrypt_recovery_codes returns jsonb, not text, so verification through
    the real read path needed a cast. Both fingerprints now go through each
    column's OWN application read path rather than decrypt_text, which also
    removes the step-1/step-5 asymmetry raised as U5.
  * a step 0 pre-check reports rows that are already unreadable, instead of
    letting a safe_decrypt_* NULL surface at the end as "a row was missed".

The rejection contract is preserved, not removed: an unknown envelope version,
an unmapped safe_decrypt_* wrapper, or an unreviewed BEFORE trigger on a mapped
table each still refuse. All three are now regression-tested, along with the
recovery-code column that was previously never exercised (its fixture was
vacuous - create_secret writes no secret_metadata row without p_twofa_enabled).
Verified: three consecutive rotations, TOTP/recovery/password all intact, v1
envelope preserved, trigger re-enabled and still enforcing its own contract.

**CREATE EXTENSION was impossible.** The fail-closed guard aborted the first
routine of any extension installed into public: `create extension pgtap` failed
with "Anonymous EXECUTE remains on public.pg_version()". A guard that forces
operators to disable it in order to install an extension is a guard that ends up
disabled. Extension-owned routines are now exempted with a warning, and the
exposure stays visible as advisory CHECK 1x rather than vanishing - it reports
pgtap (1079) on the preview. The sweep skips them too: pgcrypto-style helpers
are called from column DEFAULTs and CHECK constraints, which are evaluated with
the DML role's privileges. No extension owns a function in public on a clean
database, so no deployed behaviour changes.

**The repo was weaker than production.** find_user_by_email, get_session_status
and update_api_key_last_used were locked down on the live project on 2026-09-08
but never captured as a migration, so a fresh deploy re-opened them.
find_user_by_email is a user-enumeration oracle over auth.users and signup is
open. The standing audit caught this itself on the preview - CHECK 2 named it -
which is the drift that check exists for. Both remaining callers use
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, verified on this branch, so service_role keeps
EXECUTE and neither path changes.

Also: the guard no longer hard-fails on a database without the Supabase roles (a
plain restore), and the vault fixtures no longer assume the key is absent (U3) -
both suites failed outright on any database that already had one. Retained-key
assertions measure this run's delta instead of an absolute count.

Suites on the preview: rotation 16/16, db access audit, and visibility 54/54 all
clean; the standing audit reports no failing gated check.

* Exercise the anonymous read path, not just the grant

The keep-list assertions only checked has_function_privilege for the seven
allowlisted signatures. That proves the grant, not the path: an RLS policy
expression is evaluated as the QUERYING role, so revoking a policy helper turns
an anonymous SELECT into 'permission denied for function ...' rather than an
empty result, and no privilege assertion can see it.

The seeding is the part that matters. A policy expression runs PER ROW, so on
an empty table it is never evaluated - and plugins and user_roles are both empty
on a fresh database, which made the first version of this probe pass no matter
what had been revoked. Caught by trying to make it fail.

Sensitivity is stated from measurement, not assumption: with a row present,
revoking can_view_plugin_row from anon does fail the probe and revoking
authorize does not, because permissive policies are ORed and short-circuit. A
helper in a policy that never has to be evaluated cannot be detected this way by
any test, so the comment says so rather than implying broader coverage.

* Make the gated audit checks and the test generator provable

Both halves of this are the same failure: a suite that is green while proving
nothing. I hit that twice writing the previous commits - a recovery-code fixture
over a secret_metadata row create_secret never wrote, and an anonymous-read
probe over an empty table whose RLS policy therefore never evaluated - so these
are not hypothetical.

Finding 6. The four CI-GATED checks (1, 1b, 4, 5) only ever asserted HEALTHY,
while every advisory check already had a fixture-based detection test. An
inverted `not exists`, a wrong role literal or a typo in the evtenabled test
would have left the gate permanently green. Each is now broken deliberately and
asserted to report it: a routine granted to anon AFTER creation (which is how
one gets past the event trigger), a revoked deliberate anonymous grant, a
disabled event trigger, and a crypto routine exposed to authenticated. They have
teeth by construction - the assertion is that the finding appears, so a broken
audit query fails them.

Finding 8. The generator gained --check, which regenerates in memory and
compares without writing, and orphan removal for a generated suite whose .sql.in
has been renamed or deleted - that file otherwise keeps being executed forever
with stale content. Orphans are identified by a provenance banner rather than a
hard-coded list, so a hand-written suite is never touched; verified that
explicit_anon_and_org_visibility_test.sql is untouched. Each guard was proven by
making it fire: a hand edit and a planted orphan are both reported by --check,
and generate removes the orphan.

CI now runs generate and --check as their own step, so a preparation failure is
visible in the log instead of being attributed to the test run.

Preview: rotation 16/16, db access audit 15/15, visibility 56/56.

* Announce every project change, not only the plugin-initiated ones

Panels could come up empty and stay empty, and the reason was that the
startup restore told no one.

ProjectChangeEvent was published from ProjectDataProviderImpl.selectProject,
which is the path a PLUGIN takes. The two callers that matter most bypass
it: WorkspaceApplier.applyWorkspace calls windowProjectState.selectProject
directly when it restores the workspace, and BossTopBar's picker goes
through selectProjectInWindow. Neither published anything.

The ordering that produced the empty panel: DefaultPlugin is constructed in
a DisposableEffect keyed on registries and window state, not on
selectedProject, and it kicks off the plugin scan asynchronously while
BossAppScaffold composes and the sidebar builds panels immediately. The
restore meanwhile waits on WorkspaceManager's sequential Dispatchers.IO JSON
reads. When those reads are slow the panel is built first, reads the ""
that WindowProjectState seeds itself with, and renders its no-project state.
The restore then lands, silently, and nothing remounts the cached component.

Publishing from the state itself rather than from one caller catches all
three. The bus is MutableSharedFlow(replay = 0), so a publish that never
happens cannot be recovered by a later subscriber - which is why this could
not stay per-caller.

The publish is removed from selectProject rather than added alongside the
collector; keeping both would double-fire on the plugin path.

previousPath is seeded from the current value so the StateFlow's replay of
it is not announced as a change. That seed is "" at startup, and telling
every plugin the project just became "" moments before the real restore
arrives is precisely the clear-yourself signal worth avoiding.

One collector per window: projectDataProvider is `by lazy` on DefaultPlugin,
which is per-window, so this cannot stack.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Publish from the state's own callback, not from a lazily-built provider

The review's finding 1: observing `selectedProject` from `ProjectDataProviderImpl`
put the fix behind two `by lazy` initializers. `projectDataProvider` and
`applicationEventBus` are both lazy on `DefaultPlugin`, and the second is the only
host path that creates the bus at all. So the collector started only if some plugin
touched both before the workspace JSON reads finished - and "the reads are slow" is
the premise of the bug. Touched after the restore, the collector seeds to the
restored path and announces nothing; never touched, no caller is announced at all.

The announcement now hangs off the `ProjectSelectionCallback` that
`WindowProjectStateRegistry` installs when it builds the window's state, which
`BossAppState` does eagerly in composition. `WindowProjectState.selectProject` is
the sole mutator of the selection and invokes that callback synchronously, so every
caller is covered with no coroutine, no scope and nothing lazy in the path. Being
synchronous also makes `previousProjectPath` a faithful history rather than
best-effort: there is no StateFlow conflation to collapse A -> B -> C into A -> C.

The two registry entry points carried a copy of the wiring each; they now share one
`newState`, so the announcement cannot be installed on some windows and not others.

Finding 1's third mitigation, which is a hole of its own: `publishSystemEvent` was a
no-op whenever the bus had not been created, so on a build where no installed plugin
had touched `applicationEventBus` yet, no host event existed - not `ProjectChangeEvent`,
not `AuthEvent`, not `TabEvent` - and with `replay = 0` none could be recovered.
It now creates the bus instead of dropping. `getInstance` also re-checks the registry
on every call rather than only at creation, so an instance that exists while the
registry is empty can no longer strand the host's publisher.

Findings 2 and 3: `ProjectDataProviderImpl` implements `DisposableProvider` and
`DefaultPlugin.dispose()` releases it through a named delegate, alongside
`logDataProviderDelegate` and `gitDataProviderDelegate`; its scope gets a
`SupervisorJob`, matching `pluginScope`.

Tests: `ProjectChangeAnnouncementTest` (6) pins a direct `selectProject` being
announced, the previous-path chain, the seeding rule, the same-path suppression,
both registry entry points, and the bus being created rather than dropping the event.
Full `:composeApp:desktopTest` green: 3695 tests, 0 failures. `detekt ktlintCheck` clean.

* Round 2: honest bus wording, atomic previousPath, three more tests

Review (1/2) and (2/2).

1. `publishSystemEvent` does not save the event it creates the bus for. Correct - no
   registered publisher means nobody holds the bus, so it has no subscribers and that
   first event still reaches no one. The comment, the test name and the PR body all
   claimed otherwise. Reworded to what it actually buys: the host stops being
   permanently silent while it waits for a plugin to touch `applicationEventBus`.

3. `previousPath` was check-then-act on a plain field, and
   `ProjectDataServiceBridge.selectProject` is a suspend gRPC handler with no hop to
   Main (verified: `KernelBootstrap` registers it, the bridge calls
   `provider.selectProject` directly). Now an `AtomicReference.getAndSet`, so the read
   and the write are one operation.

5. The registry read-modify-write moved back inside `synchronized(this)`. Both fields
   are in fact `@Volatile` in boss-plugin-api 1.0.87 (checked the pinned jar), but the
   lock is uncontended after the first call and removes the question. The
   bus-before-publisher ordering is now written down, including why a publish landing
   in that window loses nothing.

6. `initialPath` KDoc no longer describes a production scenario it cannot reach; it is
   documented as defensive and test-reachable, and defaulted to "".

7. Three tests added:
   - a plugin-initiated selection is announced exactly once (catches both a silent
     regression to zero and an accidentally re-added publish);
   - the registry test now asserts the recent-projects half of the callback ran -
     deleting it from `newState` previously left every test green;
   - `dispose()` stops the recent-projects collector, which is the whole reason
     `projectDataProviderDelegate` became a named lazy.

   `Dispatchers.setMain(UnconfinedTestDispatcher())` for the class: the provider
   collects on `Dispatchers.Main`, which has no implementation in a plain test JVM, so
   its collector silently never ran. Unconfined also makes the dispose test
   deterministic rather than a sleep.

Smaller: `SupervisorJob` comment describes it as future-proofing (there is one
collector); `systemEventBusScope` is `by lazy`; the KERNEL-mode consequence of
disposing the provider is documented on `dispose()`.

Not taken: `replay = 1` for `ProjectChangeEvent`. It would close the mirror race, but
it changes `events()` semantics for every subscriber and every event type on a bus
whose consumers are out of tree. The body now says the race is narrowed rather than
closed, and names the api-side `selectedProject` StateFlow as what closes it.

`:composeApp:desktopTest` 3697 tests, 0 failures. `detekt ktlintCheck` clean.

* Round 3: unconditional announcement, ordered publish, drop dead register

Review 3.

2. AGENTS.md: a bullet in the canonical "what a third-party plugin can observe"
   paragraph, since this widens *when* a filesystem path reaches every installed
   plugin.

3. The `expect` KDoc still said "a no-op if the bus has not been created yet". Only
   the `actual` had been corrected. Fixed, and it now states the part that IS still
   best-effort: replay = 0 means an unsubscribed event is gone either way.

4. The announcement sat downstream of `ProjectState.updateRecentProjects`, so a throw
   there skipped it AND left `previousPath` stale - every later selection reporting a
   previous path one step behind, silently, for the session. Now `try { recents }
   finally { announce }`: order preserved for anyone reading recents off the event,
   the announcement unconditional, the throw still propagating.

5. `getAndSet` closed the read-modify-write but not the publish order, so two
   concurrent selections could emit out of order. `previousPath` and the publish are
   now in one `synchronized` block (the AtomicReference is gone - the lock subsumes
   it). The KDoc says plainly what this still does not settle: `WindowProjectState`
   writes `_selectedProject.value` then calls the callback with no atomicity, so state
   and last event can still disagree. Closing that means locking upstream.

6. `ProjectState`'s async `loadRecentProjects()` assigns `_recentProjects.value`
   wholesale and could land mid-test, dropping a just-added path - only where
   `~/.boss/recent-projects.json` exists, so a developer-machine-only flake. A
   once-per-JVM settle in `@BeforeTest` puts that single file read before any test.
   The test paths stay deliberately non-existent, now with a comment saying why: the
   fire-and-forget saves are unordered, and `loadRecentProjects` reclaims entries whose
   directory is gone, so a real temp directory would leak where these self-heal.

7. `register` deleted. No production caller (`BossAppState:299` uses `getOrCreate`),
   and it overwrote an existing entry - handing back a state with a fresh announcer
   seeded to "" for a window that already had a project. `newState` stays; it is what
   keeps the wiring from drifting.

8. `@Volatile` dropped from `ApplicationEventBusImpl.instance` - every access is inside
   the lock now, and leaving it reads as if a fast path survives.

Also: a test for the actual regression path, `applyWorkspace` announcing the project it
restores, rather than a comment claiming to imitate it.

Answering the grep you could not run: the only `projectChanges()` consumers in
boss_plugins are the two fluck-agent panels (`FluckAgentViewModel`), and both assign
`_bossProject.value` and re-sweep - idempotent on a repeat. Nothing used the repeat
publish as a reload nudge. Recorded in the announcer comment.

Item 1 was already in the PR body from round 2 ("The startup race is narrowed, not
closed"), naming the mirror case and the api-side StateFlow that closes it.

`:composeApp:desktopTest` 3698 tests / 368 classes, 0 failures. `detekt ktlintCheck` clean.

* Round 4: split the dispose out, stop tests writing the real ~/.boss

Review 4. Items 1 and 3 were the before-merge ones.

1. Verified: ProjectDataServiceBridge.watchRecentProjects collects
   provider.recentProjects, a StateFlow, so cancelling the provider's scope on
   window close leaves that gRPC stream open and silently frozen for every
   out-of-process plugin. Taking the first option and SPLITTING the dispose out.

   Note this reverses what round 1 asked for, and the justification changed rather
   than the opinion: once the announcement moved to the registry callback,
   ProjectDataProviderImpl went back to being exactly what it was before this PR, so
   the leak is pre-existing and unrelated to the subject. Closing it properly means
   the bridge reading ProjectState directly instead of a per-window provider, which
   is its own change. The reasoning is on the class so it is not re-fixed by accident.

3. Verified and worse than described: MAX_RECENT_PROJECTS = 10, so test entries evict
   real ones from the developer's picker and no cleanup restores them.
   systemProperty("user.home", <build>/test-home) on the Test task. One run with it in
   place shows the existing suite was writing far more than recents to the real home -
   window-appearance-settings.json, keymap-settings.json, scrollbar-settings.json,
   recent-browser-pages.json, dashboard-stats.json and a ~/BossProjects/ directory all
   land in test-home now. The settle is gone with it: no recent-projects.json in
   test-home means the wholesale reload never happens.

2. publishSystemEvent now refuses the bus != null && systemPublisher == null state
   instead of falling through into a bus that may not be the registry's, with one
   warning rather than one per event. The comment at the fallback is true as written.

4. Both stale comments fixed (one construction path, not two).

5. hostProjectCallback(updateRecents, announcer) extracted so the try/finally claim is
   testable - ProjectState is an object, so a hard-coded call cannot be made to fail.

6. The publish-inside-the-lock trade is spelled out in the KDoc: what it buys
   (ordering), what it costs (an inline subscriber runs holding the lock inside
   selectProject), and that the contended path is untested.

7. The serial-execution dependency is recorded in the test class KDoc.

Plus: multi-window isolation, and a test that makes the recents update throw.

One thing this round caused and fixed: removing dispose() left two
ProjectDataProviderImpl collectors alive on the test dispatcher. On a
TestCoroutineScheduler a live coroutine is something every later runTest waits on, and
the git classes timed out at 60s in full-suite runs while passing in isolation.
Dispatchers.setMain(Dispatchers.Unconfined) rather than UnconfinedTestDispatcher():
same inline behaviour, not enrolled in a scheduler anyone else observes. It is also a
real argument for the follow-up - without dispose() the provider cannot be constructed
in a test without leaking.

:composeApp:desktopTest 3699 tests / 368 classes, 0 failures. detekt ktlintCheck clean.

* Round 5: reset test-home per run, stop getInstance stealing a publisher

Review 5.

1. Confirmed reproducibly - build/test-home/.boss/recent-projects.json was sitting
   there from the previous run. doFirst now deleteRecursively() before mkdirs(), so
   the home is fresh per run rather than merely private. Without it the redirect only
   helped the first run and ProjectState.init's load reintroduced the same race from
   the second. Verified by running the full suite twice back to back.

2. Right, and sharper than it looks: the guard tested `bus` but wrote both fields, and
   `systemPublisher != null && bus == null` is exactly what ProjectChangeAnnouncementTest,
   BrowserAnalyticsEmissionTest and BossTabsComponentMoveTest install. Guard now tests
   both, so getInstance cannot take a publisher away from whoever set it.

3. Test added for the warn-and-drop branch, asserting the DROP rather than the warning -
   partialRegistryWarned is a one-shot process global, so "it warns" is unassertable
   after the first test to trip it. Uses a stub bus so the half-registry state is real.

4. The re-entrancy hazard is now documented as SAFE and why (synchronized is reentrant,
   previousPath advances before the publish), so it is not "fixed" later. The
   lock-widens-a-UI-hang-to-a-cross-thread-one point is in the same block.

5. Taken, including the optional ones:
   - hostProjectCallback keeps both failures (addSuppressed) instead of letting finally
     discard the first. Needs @Suppress("TooGenericExceptionCaught") - catching
     Throwable is the contract, and both are rethrown.
   - ProjectDataProviderImpl takes an injectable dispatcher (default Dispatchers.Main).
     This removes the global setMain AND the round-4 collector leak at the source
     rather than working around them, without reopening the DisposableProvider split.
   - Three more pins: a null window state announces nothing, applyWorkspace
     (restoreProject = false) announces nothing, unregister + getOrCreate restarts the
     chain at "".

Not taken, with reasons: jvmArgumentProviders (the current form works, is
config-cache-serialisable and passed CI on three OSes); widening the user.home redirect
to plugin-path-utils (its test only mkdirs a directory every BOSS user already has).

There is no CHANGELOG in this repo, so the release-notes line for the same-path change
is an action item at release time, not a file change. Flagged in the body.

Two consecutive full runs: 3703 tests / 368 classes, 0 failures both times.
detekt ktlintCheck clean - it caught two TooGenericExceptionCaught and a long line in
this round's own code first.

* Address project announcement review feedback

* fix(plugin-store): restrict plugin_downloads RLS to the server-side pipeline (#488)

* Batch validation: promote latest reviewed dev changes to main (#463)

* Fix #30: Resolve duplicate context menu label collisions

* chore: Sanitize SubmitResult.Error at construction rather than at one render site

* Fix panel component lifecycle disposal

* fixes

* Guard panel lifecycle destruction failures

* fix(logging): sanitize secret RPC failures and crash-report errors

Three related gaps in what gets logged and shown when something fails:

- SecretService.kt had no BossLogger in any of its ten catch blocks (#145).
  When the organisation migration broke all four secret RPCs (#144), the
  only WARN in the log came from the calling plugin - the code that
  actually failed said nothing. Every catch now logs via
  logger.warn(LogCategory.NETWORK, ...), reusing the already-sanitized
  failure for both the log and the returned Result rather than sanitizing
  twice. RoleService and RoleCreationService were checked and already log
  correctly - SecretService was the only silent one.

- LogSanitizer.sanitizeExceptionMessage redacted a hostname only when it
  appeared inside a URL - a bare hostname (exactly what
  UnknownHostException.getMessage() produces, i.e. every DNS failure, and
  what a proxy-connect failure looks like) passed through untouched (#109).
  Added a narrow hostname pattern: lowercase-only labels ending in a short
  explicit TLD/`.internal`/`.local` list, with a negative lookahead so a
  package path that happens to end in a real TLD word mid-FQN
  (kotlinx.coroutines.internal.ScopeCoroutine, kotlinx.io.EOFException)
  is not mistaken for one - caught by the existing realistic-stack-trace
  test after the first version of the pattern redacted a live Kotlin
  package name out of it.

- CrashReportService.SubmitResult.Error held a raw exception string,
  sanitized at exactly one render call site in CrashReportDialog (#110).
  The constructor is now private; SubmitResult.Error.of(...) is the only
  way to build one, and it sanitizes before the raw string can reach
  .message - a property of the type now, not something every future
  consumer (a copy button, a toast, a log line) has to remember on its own.
  Both construction sites (the service's two catch blocks, and the one in
  CrashReportDialog the issue names directly) now route through it.

Tests: new coverage for the ten now-logging SecretService paths (via
SupabaseWiringTest's existing sanitization-wiring guard, updated to
recognize the "sanitize once into a local, reuse for log and return" shape
SupabaseDataProviderImpl already used), six new LogSanitizerTest cases for
the hostname fix (including the FQN/version-number false-positive guards),
and a new CrashReportServiceTest for the sanitize-at-construction guarantee.

* test(crash): extract construction tests from #404

Selected unchanged test file from Antriksh1984 original commit 99d2a5228023c541e825fe2714619c8228140369 (PR #404). Maintainer extraction only; subsequent API/scope adaptations are recorded separately.

* chore(ipc): clarify advisory menu ID scope and fix formatting

* chore(ui): finish obsolete toolbar comment cleanup

* test(crash): adapt consolidated coverage and guard factory visibility

Maintainer consolidation: use #311 companion invoke and a URL fixture instead of depending on #404 hostname redaction. Add private constructor/copy bytecode assertions. Preserve original contributor tests and implementation credit separately.

* refactor(crash): consolidate construction sanitization in #311

Maintainer scope change: remove only the duplicate #110 implementation, retaining Antriksh1984 original #109/#145 work and commit history. Standalone construction tests are retained with attribution in #311; its Aditya8369 implementation supersedes Error.of. Keep render-time sanitization here until #311 merges and describe the remaining hostname coverage conservatively.

* test(panels): retain sibling lifecycle isolation coverage from #313

Adapt the original #313 test to the #317 constructor and supply the missing panelInfo overrides. Original test scenario and assertions are by @rehannayeem0786; these compile adaptations are maintainer integration work.

* fix(panels): complete lifecycle cleanup across failure and window teardown

Destroy partially constructed panels and replacements that fail to resume. Continue downward lifecycle transitions after a failing pause or stop callback. Dispose panels before plugin teardown in the same callback rather than relying on sibling Compose effect order. Add regression coverage and adapt the retained #313 test bodies for detekt. These changes are maintainer follow-up to the original #313/#317 contributions.

* docs(ui): remove stale disabled top-bar feature list

* test(ipc): protect advisory menu item ID uniqueness

* fix(panels): keep store registration scoped to its window effect

Remove the redundant unregister from plugin teardown. Document independent context services and synchronous Essenty onCreate replay, with tests for registration ownership and exactly-once create callbacks. Keep tab teardown hardening separate. Maintainer follow-up to the review of #317; original #313/#317 contributor credit is unchanged.

* fix(crash): address consolidated sanitization review notes

Maintainer follow-up to Claude N1-N4: document factory/copy invariant, correct stale comments, move Aditya original construction assertions into the service suite while retaining Antriksh blank/diagnostic cases, and log unexpected dialog submission failures. Original contribution credit remains separate.

* fix(logging): keep server failure payloads out of secret RPC logs

Maintainer follow-up to Claude review: log operation and exception type only, preserve sanitized return semantics, and check each catch for safe return/log wiring. Document measured hostname limits without broadening the matcher; add module-local redaction and diagnostic-preservation coverage. Antriksh original implementation remains credited separately.

* ci: build PR batches on dev

* Allow Claude diff reviews after approved fork builds (#413)

* fix(browser): preserve newer clipboard copies during plain-text paste (#316)

* fix(browser): paste-without-formatting no longer clobbers a copy made in its restore window (#205)

* fix(browser): make paste-without-formatting's restore identity-based, not text-based

Review of this PR caught that the text-equality guard cannot distinguish 'our write is still current' from 'a previous press already restored the rich original' - whose string projection is by construction the same text - so two presses inside the 200ms window permanently downgraded a rich clipboard to plain text. A PasteWithoutFormattingSession now tracks the exact Transferable each press installed and restores the pre-window original once, while a user copy in the window still wins. Adds five tests to BrowserClipboardCommandsTest, including the double-press regression; wraps the two over-limit lines; e.message -> e::class.simpleName in the touched handlers.

* fix(browser): fold tryRestore's early exits so it stays within detekt's ReturnCount

* fix(browser): blank lines between FakeTransferable overrides per ktlint

* test(browser): retain clipboard restore scenarios from #408

* fix(browser): track clipboard ownership through AWT wrappers

* fix(browser): defer native disposal until admitted calls drain (#312 + #409) (#412)

* fix: make BrowserHandle JavaScript execution cancellable

the previous synchronous JxBrowser call blocked the Main/EDT thread;
coroutine cancellation could not take effect while that call was blocking;
the implementation now uses JxBrowser’s asynchronous JavaScript callback API;
suspendCancellableCoroutine makes the Kotlin waiting side cancellable;
late callbacks after cancellation are safely ignored;
this does NOT terminate JavaScript already executing inside Chromium.

* fix: add robust native call lifecycle tracking for disposal

* test: verify native operation cleanup on synchronous failure

* fix: linearize browser disposal and pending operation tracking

* fix: resolve detekt violations in browser native tracking

* test: satisfy detekt failure simulation rule

* fix: close native operation disposal race

* fix(browser): drain an in-flight call before closing the browser

Issue #300 reports that executeJavaScript is a synchronous, non-
cancellation-aware native call, and a plugin's own withTimeoutOrNull
around it can only abandon the caller's wait - not the call itself -
which stays running on Main indefinitely and can race a concurrent
handle.dispose(), touching the same native object from two threads at
once.

The severe half of this was already fixed by BoundedBrowserCall: this
class confines every blocking round trip to one dedicated daemon thread
instead of Dispatchers.Main, so a wedged renderer no longer freezes the
app. What was not yet closed is the residual window this issue's core
report is actually about: shutdown() stopped new work but did not wait
for whatever was already running, so a caller could proceed straight to
browser.close() while a call from just before shutdown was still
finishing on the dedicated thread.

shutdown() now waits, bounded, for that in-flight call to drain before
returning. Costs nothing in the common case - awaitTermination returns
immediately once the one worker thread and its queue are both idle,
which is where an instance sits between calls - and only the bound in
the rare case something was genuinely still running.

Known, and disclosed in the KDoc rather than claimed away: this narrows
the race for the common case (a call that was always going to finish
quickly) rather than closing it. It cannot help when the in-flight call
is itself the wedge this class's own deadline exists for - waiting
unboundedly for a genuinely stuck call would reintroduce the exact freeze
BoundedBrowserCall exists to prevent, just moved from a plugin's await
into every caller's teardown path. There is no JxBrowser API on this
version able to interrupt a blocking round trip already inside the
native call, which is the whole reason the call is confined to its own
thread instead of cancelled - closing that window completely needs
JxBrowser's own cooperation, which the issue's own analysis already
concluded is unavailable.

Tests: shutdown waits for a fast in-flight call to finish before
returning, and does not wait past its own drain timeout for a wedged one
- the same before/after pair the rest of this test file already uses for
BoundedBrowserCall's deadline.

* fix(browser): defer native close until admitted calls drain

Consolidates the lifecycle work from #312 (johncybersage) and #409 (Antriksh1984), retaining both original histories. Replaces success-only callback accounting and timeout-then-close with executor termination signals and host-owned native/profile cleanup. These corrections and replacement tests are maintainer/agent work, separate from contributor scoring.

* fix(browser): bound profile waits and clarify deferred cleanup ownership

Address consolidation review: schedule both service disposal paths without awaiting native close, diagnose pending drains, centralize executor ownership, and bound profile lease acquisition without permitting unsafe reuse or eviction. Document process-exit abandonment and verify wiring and cleanup ordering. Maintainer/agent follow-up, separate from original #312 and #409 contributor credit.

* fix(browser): schedule disposal after early UI teardown failure

* ci: create launcher directory before Claude native installation

* Revert "ci: create launcher directory before Claude native installation"

This reverts commit 5184908e6c3f133502508513b4c5e17651b13bc0.

* test: keep warmup registry ordering check on one event loop

* test(browser): normalize CRLF in disposal source wiring guards

* feat(tabs): show a speaker glyph on tabs that are playing audio (#314)

* feat(tabs): show a speaker glyph on tabs that are playing audio (#308)

* fix(tabs): review round - compile, registry lifetime, UI-thread marshalling, owner flush

1. graphicsLayer import dropped (does not exist at that package); the fade now uses .alpha(audioAlpha), already imported. 2. TabAudioRegistry no longer outlives its owner: disposeAllTabsBlocking unregisters everything this component registered, and DetachedTab.destroy drops the entry for a tab destroyed without adoption - the handler captures the BossTabsComponent, so stale entries retained it. 3. The registry update is marshalled to the EDT via SwingUtilities.invokeLater, so the tab-model mutation happens on the UI thread as the KDoc claims. 4. setFullscreenHandler flushes the current playback state once ownerTabId becomes known, closing the starts-before-registration race the review could not verify. 5. TabAudioRegistryTest added: delivery, last-writer-wins, ownership-checked unregister.

* fix(tabs): CI round 2 - DetachedTab receiver error, long line, and baseline-preserving signatures

- BossMainWindowPanel.kt:2098: DetachedTab is a non-inner nested class and cannot use the outer component as receiver; the audio-handler drop moves to detachTab instead, which is where adoption-vs-destroy actually diverges. - TabAudioRegistry.kt:9 wrapped under detekt's 120-char limit. - FluckTabInfo.isPlayingAudio and BossTabButton's glyph read no longer change any signature: the flag is a mutable property (copied in copy()'s body) and the button reads it off tabInfo, so the constructor, copy() and BossTabButton keep their exact baseline-frozen detekt IDs and the resurfaced LongMethod/LongParameterList/CyclomaticComplexMethod findings retire.

* fix(tabs): fold handleAudioUpdate within ReturnCount; add missing final newline in the test file

* fix(tabs): publish audio state by browser ownership and keep icon layout stable

* feat: connect chrome density settings and keyboard controls (#305)

* feat: wire the chrome density scale into settings and small-screen defaults

ChromeDensity / ChromeDimens.of() / LocalChromeDimens already existed on
main and every bar (BossTitleBar, BossTopBar, the main tab bar,
BossBottomBar) already read its height from BossChrome.dimens - but
LocalChromeDimens was never provided anywhere, so it silently resolved to
its staticCompositionLocalOf default (Comfortable) always. The scale was
built and unreachable.

This closes that gap:

- WindowAppearanceSettings gets a `density` field (default COMFORTABLE, so
  an existing install's settings file - which has never heard of this key
  - decodes to exactly the chrome it already had; no settings-version bump
  needed).
- BossApp.kt now provides LocalChromeDimens from that field, host-only and
  outside BossAppCompositionLocals (plugins never draw host chrome).
- A "Density" dropdown in Settings > Bars (Compact/Comfortable/Spacious),
  indexed in Settings search.
- A fresh install on a small screen (< 1000dp logical height, clearing the
  13" MacBook Air's ~931-956pt from #239's own measurements) now defaults
  to Compact and starts with the bottom bar off - the one bar this manager
  can still reclaim itself, since the side strips are already off by
  class default. Toolkit.getScreenSize() is read once, wrapped in
  runCatching (HeadlessException off a display must not break a fresh
  install), with a pure defaultDensityFor(screenHeightDp) so the decision
  is unit-testable without a display.

Addresses #239, scoped down from the full issue. Out of scope in this
pass, deliberately:

- The app does not yet report its own chrome budget as a measured
  percentage - the issue's own "state it, don't argue it" ask. Reachable
  later from the same ChromeDimens source, but needs a spot to render it.
- The title bar's 27dp "Boss Console" label row is untouched - collapsing
  or merging it with the tab bar is a separate, riskier layout change than
  a density scale.
- No regression intended to the existing per-bar show/hide switches or
  focus-mode edges: density only changes how much room a bar that is
  already on screen takes, never whether it is shown.

* fix: drop the Compact-density bottom-bar auto-off, wrap an overlong line

Address review feedback on #305:

- Removed showBottomBar = density != ChromeDensity.COMPACT from
  getDefaultSettings(). ChromeMetricsTest already shows the shipped
  macOS defaults reach 93.3% of a 931dp window at Comfortable, so
  #239's >=90% bar is met without touching the status bar - and that
  bar's own KDoc argues it must stay on ("the only always-on readout").
  It was also reachable from the settings-load catch fallback, so a
  transient read error could silently drop the bar and have the next
  save persist the loss. Compact now only changes density, nothing else.

- Wrapped primaryScreenHeightDp() - was 121 chars, one over detekt's
  default MaxLineLength (120), which applies here since .editorconfig's
  140 is a ktlint-only setting and this line wasn't in the baseline.

* feat: add chrome density setting

* feat: add small-screen chrome defaults

* feat: add chrome density controls and small-screen defaults

* fix(ui): preserve lean density defaults and test density controls

* style: format multiline screen-height lookup

* fix(ui): separate density recovery and make editor chords opt-in

Fixes #278. Commit c15660c5 inadvertently dropped the explicit width constraint for nested panels in the right dock by wrapping them inside a PanelColumn with a Box(weight(1f)) that lacked fillMaxWidth(). This loose constraint caused a known issue with SubcomposeLayout caching stale bounds when resized, resulting in Row content disappearing after weighted Spacers. This commit restores the .fillMaxWidth() propagation.

* Fix: Implement proper ISO timestamp parsing in PluginStoreClient

* fix(repository): implement robust ISO timestamp parsing for Supabase payloads

* style(repository): resolve detekt MaxLineLength and TooGenericExceptionCaught

* fix(plugin-store): implement plugin metadata timestamp parsing

PluginStoreClient.parseTimestamp was a stub that always returned 0L, so
every plugin fetched from the store showed "Last Updated"/"Published" as
the Unix epoch in the Toolbox UI regardless of what the server actually
sent (#337).

Parses the ISO-8601 timestamp (the shape the store sends, e.g.
2024-05-12T14:30:00Z, or with a numeric offset) via java.time.Instant,
falling back to 0L for a blank, missing, or malformed string rather than
throwing - matching the field's own empty-string default for a response
that omits it. java.time rather than adding kotlinx-datetime as a new
dependency: this module already uses java.util.* directly in the same
commonMain source set (it has one real target, jvm("desktop")), so nothing
is gained by introducing a second time library for one function.

Tests exercise the real PluginDetailResponse.toPluginInfo(), matching the
convention already established next to it in
PluginStoreResponseDecodingTest: a Z-suffixed timestamp, a numeric-offset
timestamp, a blank string, and a malformed string.

* Fix timestamp normalization edge cases and verify both response mappings

* Use release publication dates and pin timezone-independent fallback

* fix(language): consolidate host and out-of-process language-id tables (#358)

* fix(language): consolidate host and out-of-process language-id tables

EditorLanguages (composeApp) and EditorServiceImpl (modules/boss-app-editor)
each hand-maintained their own extension-to-language-id table because
boss-app-editor - a plain JVM module compiled to a GraalVM native image -
could not depend on anything in composeApp. They disagreed: EditorServiceImpl
named .sh/.bash/.zsh "shell", EditorLanguages named them "bash", and
EditorServiceImpl was missing more than forty ids the other table had
(fortran, delphi, latex, lisp, tcl, clojure, batch, diff, ...) (#75).

Moves the table into a new plugin-platform/plugin-language-types module -
dependency-free by design, so it carries nothing extra into boss-app-editor's
native-image build - and has both EditorLanguages and EditorServiceImpl read
from it. This is the first time anything under modules/ depends on
plugin-platform/; verified compiling and passing tests before committing to
the approach.

EditorLanguages keeps its existing public API unchanged (same values for
every extension), so FileTypeCategoriesTest and EditorLanguageDetectionTest
needed no changes. EditorServiceImpl keeps its own "proto"->"protobuf" entry
and "plaintext" fallback as local additions on top of the shared table,
rather than folding them into it: proto isn't part of the boss-file-types.json
default-app-association surface the shared table backs, and "plaintext" is
this service's own gRPC default, not a value composeApp reads.

Adds LanguageIdsTest (the new module) and EditorServiceImplTest (previously
no tests existed for this class at all) - the latter pins the actual bug fix,
that detectLanguage("sh") now returns "bash" instead of "shell".

Out of scope, and disclosed rather than silently dropped: two of the five
duplicate tables the issue names - the editor-tab plugin's own
LanguageDetection and BossEditor's lexer registry - live in separate
repositories this build cannot reach. FileIcons.forSpecialFileName/forFile in
plugin-icons is also not consolidated: it keys icon selection off the raw
filename to preserve distinctions a language id can't carry (package.json,
yarn.lock and pnpm-lock.yaml are all valid JSON/YAML but get three different
brand icons) and never computes a language id in the first place, so
routing it through this table would need a separate icon-selection redesign.

* fix(language): keep file-association drift checks on the shared table

* fix(language): apply shared filename rules to editor file opens

* fix(editor): contain write-local stack overflow and preserve fatal errors (#396)

* Make writeFileContentSafe actually safe: catch the Errors it was named for

`writeFileContentSafe` exists to return false rather than throw. It did not hold
that contract:

    } catch (e: Exception) {
        fileIoLogger.warn(LogCategory.EDITOR, "Error writing file", error = e)
        false
    }

StackOverflowError is an Error, not an Exception, so it went straight through -
out of writeFileContent, out of the editor_write_file MCP handler, and to the
caller as a bare StackOverflowError instead of the handler's own
"Write failed for <path>". The warn that would have named the file never ran
either.

That is not hypothetical. risa-labs-inc/boss-plugin-editor-tab#18 and #27 are two
independent reports of it, on unrelated content, and #27's complaint is precisely
the missing diagnosis: the error "gives no indication of which input caused it".

StackOverflowError and OutOfMemoryError are caught explicitly rather than
widening to Throwable. A stack overflow unwinds and leaves the JVM usable, and
readFileContentSafe in this same file already treats OutOfMemoryError as a
reportable outcome. Throwable would also absorb LinkageError and ThreadDeath,
which are not this function's to swallow - there is a test asserting a
NoClassDefFoundError still propagates.

The failure log now names the path and the character count. Not the content:
these writes carry whatever the user is editing.

**This does not fix the write.** Whatever recurses is upstream of this function,
which is mkdirs plus writeText - I ruled out the plugin's handler, this write,
and the host's MCP argument parsing, and said so on the issue. What changes is
that the failure is reported honestly instead of escaping, which is where a
diagnosis can start.

The body moves to `guardedWrite` with an injectable write, because a test JVM
cannot be made to overflow the stack inside writeText on demand.

Verified: 3729 tests, 0 failures, plus ktlintCheck and detekt.

* fix(plugins): defer fluck-browser hot-reload to a restart (#352)

* fix(plugins): defer stale jar cleanup until restart

* fix(plugins): defer fluck-browser hot-reload to a restart

Hot-reloading fluck-browser force-unloads the classloader that created its
JxBrowser native views. Every open tab - and every tab opened afterward,
since the factory that would recreate the view is gone too - draws an empty
box, and a second hot-reload does not recover it; only a full restart does.

HotReloadPolicy names plugins that must never be swapped in place, matching
the existing NOT_USER_INSTALLABLE/RetiredPlugins pattern. It's checked at
every path that can force-unload a live plugin to apply an update: the
resetPluginInstances/doReloadPlugin path that actually reproduced this bug,
the menu-driven Reload action, the Toolbox update flow, and the store
installer. For a not-hot-reloadable plugin, the new jar is staged into
installed.json without touching the running instance or its open tabs, and
a status message tells the user to restart to apply it - the next cold
start loads the update with a fresh classloader.

Also fixes two call sites that asked "restart dependent plugins?" before
checking whether an unload was even going to happen, which produced a
confusing prompt for an unload that a deferred update was never going to
do.

* Preserve staged plugin artifacts when another plugin updates

* Harden OOP plugin reaping: hook-race flag, registry cleanup, spawn guard (#135)

reapDepth (AtomicInteger) replaces the boolean reaping flag, so the two JVM shutdown hooks (main.kt and KernelBootstrap) cannot clear the in-progress signal while the other is still reaping (item 2). reapChildren now unregisters reaped handles from the process-wide ProcessRegistry, so stale dead entries do not persist across an in-process mode switch (item 4). OutOfProcessPluginSpawnerImpl.spawn() stands down when isReaping(), so a plugin load racing host exit cannot register a child after the reap snapshot (item 3). Covered by ReapChildrenTest.

Every ActiveTabsService RPC was reachable by any process able to open a
connection to the kernel IPC server, not only the plugins the host itself
loaded. watchActiveTabs disclosed every open tab's title and URL across
every window with no credential at all, and createBrowserTab could force
the browser to navigate to an arbitrary URL; selectTab/closeTab could
manipulate what the user is looking at.

All seven RPCs now require a verified caller identity, matching the
pattern PR #505 established for the Secret Service: unary RPCs call
authenticatedCallerOrRefuse, and the watchActiveTabs stream captures
ProcessIdentityInterceptor.CURRENT_IDENTITY synchronously in the method
body (before the flow is collected, on the calling thread the interceptor's
context is current on) and re-checks it before every emission, so a
revoked caller's stream is refused before an already-held handle could
receive a value it should no longer see. Refusals are logged with a
bind/revocation stage tag, and the three mutating RPCs (selectTab,
createBrowserTab, closeTab) now record an attributed audit line - caller
and RPC name only, no URLs or titles.

Tested with a real gRPC server plus ProcessIdentityInterceptor: every RPC
is refused with no credential and never reaches the provider, an
authenticated caller can watch/read/select/create/close tabs, and a
revoked caller's live watch stream terminates with PERMISSION_DENIED
before receiving a value that arrived after revocation.

Resolved the current Claude findings from #657 and duplicate #658 in repair db1bc39, now pushed with current dev as 45caee0.

  • Verified Maven Central grpc-netty 1.84.0 POM directly: HTTP/2 and proxy handlers requested 4.2.16.Final. Added the Netty 4.2.18.Final BOM to IPC and the separate server, and a shared catalog ref. The local IPC runtime graph now resolves the Netty family to 4.2.18.Final. This addresses the widened pre-existing mixed-version graph instead of claiming the original transport-only bump fixed codec advisories.
  • Verified all four native artifacts are published: osx-x86_64, osx-aarch_64, linux-x86_64 and linux-aarch_64. Added a real Unix-socket gRPC round trip, including ASCII process-token metadata, that fails on a native load error. It passed on macOS without skipping. The test owns its native event loop and shuts down channel/server/group; it validates the artifacts and gRPC stack rather than claiming full desktop KERNEL-mode or production resolver lifecycle coverage.
  • Local locked validation passed all 50 IPC tests, detekt and ktlint; server compilation passed but server:test is NO-SOURCE. Linux native execution awaits current-head CI. Initial agent test formatting errors were fixed before pushing and are not Dependabot defects.

Original Dependabot work remains the three native version bumps. BOM alignment and native regression coverage are review-agent repairs, explicitly credited in the PR description. #658's identical original Git tree is fully covered by this survivor. Bot scoring remains N/A.

The review suggested a separate alignment follow-up; this dependency group's authorized scope owns the shared catalog, so the scoped alignment and its test are included here and are receiving fresh CI. No further reviewer ping is needed. Independently bundled runtime/plugin Netty pins and cross-group #575 remain read-only context; this PR does not upgrade them. No app launch, live database operation or deployment was performed.

@dependabot Your coordinated epoll, kqueue and unix-common update is retained, including explicit credit for the identical work in #658.

The reviewer added one Netty version ref, BOM alignment for IPC and server, and a Unix-socket gRPC regression test after confirming transitive codecs stayed on 4.2.16. These are agent repairs; the original transport update passed all ten original-head checks. The new macOS native round trip passes locally. Linux native execution is still awaiting CI.

No unresolved substantive source correctness finding remains after the documented Claude responses. Validation passed on isolated combined dev plus all distinct updates: initial 4,685 desktop tests (one skip) and 49 IPC tests; refreshed dev regressions and 33 Compose stable-field tests; final 84 host bridge tests and 50 IPC tests with the aligned Netty runtime. The Netty repair also passed detekt and ktlint. No app run or deployment was used.

Draft handoff: current-head CI is incomplete, not an author defect. Head 45caee0cae03a9d60b72602fa4d84144cac7005d still has these jobs pending: build-test (ubuntu-latest), build-test (macos-latest), build-test (windows-latest), code-quality, compatibility-test. No current-head failure was reported at handoff. The bounded review is ending without bypassing these checks or substituting old-head green CI.

Next steps: let the existing current-head platform/quality/compatibility jobs complete; inspect and fix any actual failure, preserving the native Linux/macOS check for #657. Once required checks pass, mark ready, refresh dev and inspect any intervening changes, and merge only into dev under with-dev-merge-lock.py using an exact reviewed SHA. Revalidate if the head or relevant base code changes. No additional review ping is requested here. Original bot contribution score: N/A.

Closing this stale, conflicting draft after the Netty 4.2.18 transport update merged in #1758. The BOM alignment and native transport round-trip test are not included in #1758 and should be considered separately in a clean follow-up PR.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
