feat(console): raw local console for Unix and Windows - #4
Conversation
Add the console package skeleton (Size, ErrNotTerminal) and the platform-neutral codecs the Windows console needs: a UTF-16 decoder that holds a high surrogate across reads, a UTF-8 encoder that holds an incomplete trailing sequence across writes, and a chunker that bounds console writes without separating a surrogate pair. Verified with table tests, split-equivalence fuzzing against the standard library, and the full gate on linux and GOOS=windows. Also add internal/console to the AGENTS.md Layout table.
Open /dev/tty rather than using stdin, so the non-blocking mode Go sets (which lets Close unblock a pending Read) never leaks into the parent shell, even on a crash. Raw mode, restore, window size and resize events all go through SyscallConn; Fd is never called. Open records the terminal state and restore returns to it, so a password prompt interrupted between Open and MakeRaw cannot leave echo off; a missing controlling terminal reports ErrNotTerminal. Close restores the mode before closing. Resizes measures changes against the size when it is called, so a resize cannot slip between the initial Size and the loop. Verified with pty tests (no extra module: the pty is opened with x/sys ioctls), 20 repeated runs of the timing-sensitive tests under -race, sabotage checks, and the full gate including darwin vet and lint.
SIGWINCH is ignored by default, so a resize between the Resizes(ctx) call and the caller starting to range over its result was dropped: Notify only registered once ranging began. Resizes now checks the current size once, right after Notify registers, so a change already sitting there when iteration starts is still yielded instead of waiting for the next signal. Also makes TestCloseRestoresAndUnblocksRead prove the Read was really pending (SetReadDeadline fails with os.ErrNoDeadline on a non-pollable fd, so a blocking-mode regression would now be caught deterministically instead of by a goroutine race), and rewords the Console, Read and Close doc comments so the Close-unblocks-a-pending-Read claim is stated as measured on Linux, not yet measured on darwin. Verified with go test -race ./internal/console/..., 20 repeated runs of the resize and close tests under -race, a sabotage check on the new post-Notify check (removed, TestResizesYieldsChangeBeforeRangingStarts fails with "Resizes never yielded the size that changed before ranging started", restored), and the full scoped gate including darwin and windows vet, cross-compiled builds, golangci-lint on both platforms, go fix -diff and the ruleguard build.
Read and Write use ReadConsoleW and WriteConsoleW with the UTF-16 codecs, so code pages are never touched and split characters survive. MakeRaw sets VT input and output modes (falling back without DISABLE_NEWLINE_AUTO_RETURN on older hosts). Resizes polls the window every 200 ms because ReadConsole always filters resize events. Writes are chunked to 8192 UTF-16 units for classic conhost. Close is idempotent: it wakes a blocked ReadConsoleW by injecting a key-down record (re-injected until the reader returns), then flushes the input buffer so nothing reaches the parent shell, and restores the Open-time modes. OnBreak installs a SetConsoleCtrlHandler for Ctrl+Break; OnBreak(nil) unregisters. WriteConsoleInputW, SetConsoleCtrlHandler and INPUT_RECORD are declared locally because x/sys/windows does not provide them. Verified on the win11-qa VM under a ConPTY (5 runs, with and without a console), struct layout checked against the Windows sizes, and the full gate for GOOS=windows amd64 and arm64.
…sts fail Close woke a blocked ReadConsoleW by injecting a space, which cannot complete a read in line mode: ReadConsole returns only on a carriage return there (SetConsoleMode, ENABLE_LINE_INPUT). Line mode is reached when restore runs before Close or MakeRaw was never called. The wake record is now an Enter key-down (VK_RETURN, scan code 0x1C, '\r'), which completes the read in raw and line mode alike. A new test blocks a Read in both line-mode cases and checks Close unblocks it and leaves no input events; with the space record both cases fail. TestWriteSplitUTF8 now asserts the UTF-16 units each partial Write sends, and TestWriteLarge records every WriteConsoleW chunk through a writeConsole seam and checks the size cap, the surrogate boundary and that the chunks reassemble the input. Before, dropping the encode step or the encoder carry left both tests green. Also: the Close doc gives the sourced reason for re-injecting and says a concurrent second Close can return before the first has restored; the DISABLE_NEWLINE_AUTO_RETURN fallback comment no longer makes an unsourced claim; ctrlHandler drops an unreachable nil check; and TestRestoreReturnsToOpenBaseline restores the Open-time mode on exit. Verified on the win11-qa VM under ConPTY (5 runs with a console, one without), sabotage of each new assertion on the VM, and the scoped gate for GOOS=windows amd64 and arm64.
…orms Close now always returns the terminal to the Open baseline, also when MakeRaw never ran, so a mode an interrupted ssh password prompt left behind (echo off) is undone before et exits. restore is repeatable and state-checked on both platforms: it reads the current mode and sets the baseline only where it differs, so it never touches a terminal already at the baseline (no SIGTTOU from a background job on Unix) and MakeRaw after restore is still undone by Close. Close is idempotent and a second Close waits for the first to finish before returning nil: on Unix Close holds the mutex for its whole body, on Windows later callers wait on a done channel. After Close, MakeRaw, Write and Size return errors wrapping os.ErrClosed and a restore func returns nil without touching the console. On Windows, Write holds a writer lock for its whole call and Close takes it before restoring, so a Write in flight finishes under the modes it started with; wakeAndWait keeps injecting after a failed wake record instead of abandoning the wait. Windows gains a newConsole constructor and per-Console injectFn and writeFn fields (nil means the real call) so console-free tests can drive Close. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt (count 3) and without a console (count 3); vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Every new or changed test was mutation-checked against the production line it guards, Windows mutants on the VM: 27 killed of 27.
… docs Add tests that pin how restore interacts with Close. On Unix a restore func run concurrently with Close must return nil: it runs under the mutex Close holds, so it never reaches a closed descriptor. On Windows a Close that starts while a restore func is setting modes must wait for it, so the two never set console modes at the same time. Windows restore now reads and sets modes through per-Console getModeFn and setModeFn fields (nil means the real call), so a console-free test can check that Close sets a baseline mode only where the current mode differs from it. Docs: the Unix Console type states the same concurrency rules as the Windows one; both Write docs state the platform difference (on Unix a Write racing Close can reach the terminal until the descriptor closes, on Windows Write writes nothing once Close has started); the Windows Close doc says its wait for an in-flight Write has no bound and that whether WriteConsoleW can stall is unmeasured. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt (count 3) and without a console (count 3); vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. New tests mutation-checked: 4 killed of 4 (Windows mutants on the VM).
The Windows Read and Write paths only ran against a real console, so go test without one exercised neither. The package-level writeConsole var is replaced by the per-Console writeFn field and Read gains a readFn field; nil means the real ReadConsoleW or WriteConsoleW call. Write tests now run without a console through a scripted fake: large writes stay within writeUnits per call and never end a chunk on a high surrogate, a UTF-8 sequence split across Writes reaches the console once complete, and full, partial, zero-unit, failed and impossible results are each handled. Write now rejects a count larger than the chunk instead of slicing past it. The Write doc records that a partial write can split a surrogate pair only if the console itself reports half a pair written; that is unmeasured and Write does not back off. Read tests use a scripted fake that fails when its script runs out: a surrogate pair split across two console reads decodes to one UTF-8 sequence, a device attributes reply and a cursor position report pass through byte for byte, a small buffer leaves the rest for the next Read, and a read of zero units is retried. On a real console the tests now also check that the output mode is restored by restore and by Close, that Close flushes typeahead nobody read, and every KEY_EVENT_RECORD field offset and size. openConsole closes the console at test end and reports a Close error, and the 100 ms upper bound on a second Close is gone. Measured on the win11-qa VM under ConPTY (ssh -tt), 2026-09-25: a consumed Ctrl+Break (GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent) leaves a pending ReadConsoleW pending in raw and in line mode, so Read is unchanged; the measurement is recorded in the Read doc. Verified: the Windows test binary on the VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each); go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Mutation runs on the VM: 19 killed of 19.
…se path Resizes could still yield a size after its context ended: the check made right after SIGWINCH registration yields without looking at ctx, and the loop's select picks at random when a signal (or, on Windows, a tick) and the cancellation are both ready. Both platforms now check ctx.Err before each yield, and the Resizes docs say nothing is yielded once ctx has ended. Tests: TestResizesStopsAfterCancel changes the size and cancels before ranging, so the post-registration check sees a change it must not yield; TestResizesStopsWhenConsumerBreaks breaks out of the range with ctx still live, once at the post-registration yield and once at the signal loop yield, and requires the range statement to finish. The bare waits on the Resizes consumers are bounded by waitTimeout. The Close test now builds its Console through open, the path Open takes, skipping if the process is a session leader (open does not pass O_NOCTTY), and its SetReadDeadline comment says what it proves. A new test, TestOpenRejectsNonTerminalTTYPath, pins that a tty path which opens but is not a terminal gives ErrNotTerminal. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each); vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Mutation runs: 6 killed of 7; the survivor is the in-loop ctx check, which no deterministic test can drive (select order is random).
…n errors Windows Open now wraps every failure with ErrNotTerminal and keeps the cause: GetStdHandle errors and a GetConsoleMode failure on either handle give an error satisfying errors.Is(err, ErrNotTerminal) that also wraps the Windows error. Before, a GetConsoleMode failure returned the bare sentinel and GetStdHandle errors did not satisfy ErrNotTerminal at all. MakeRaw joins the input-mode rollback error to the output-mode error instead of discarding it. Docs: OnBreak(nil) now says Ctrl+Break goes to the Go runtime's handler, which delivers it as os.Interrupt only if the program called signal.Notify for it and otherwise passes it to the default handler that ends the process (runtime/os_windows.go ctrlHandler, go1.27.0). The code-page claim and the handler-thread claim cite the Microsoft docs (ReadConsole and WriteConsole remarks; HandlerRoutine). INPUT_RECORD's KEY_EVENT_RECORD is one of the union's largest members. The Unix Open doc says it opens the controlling terminal /dev/tty after checking stdin and stdout, and both Open docs describe the intended caller instead of cmd/et. controlFile and isTerminal gain doc comments. The Windows Read doc says Once Close has started and that a generated Ctrl+Break was measured while a physical key press is not; the Write doc says a chunk never ends on a high surrogate. Tests: TestOpenWithoutConsoleKeepsCause checks the ErrNotTerminal wrap and the kept cause where stdin is not a console. The Linux test teardown reports close errors, ignoring only os.ErrClosed from the deliberate second close of a pty slave a Console already closed. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each), and with stdout redirected for the stdout branch; vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Mutation runs on the VM: 3 killed of 3.
…test TestCloseWaitsForInFlightWrite ran on a zero-handle Console whose mode calls always failed, so Close never set a mode and the test could not see whether Close restored the console before an in-flight Write finished; a Close that restored first and only then waited for the writer would have passed. The test now fakes the mode calls: getModeFn reports a mode that differs from both baselines, so Close really sets each, and setModeFn fails the test if a Write is still inside its console call. It also fails if Close set no mode at all, and its comment claims only what it checks. Verified on the win11-qa VM: the test passes without a console and under ssh -tt (count 3); a Close that restores before taking the writer lock fails on the new check, and dropping the writer lock in Close or in Write still fails (3 killed of 3). Scoped gate: vet on linux, windows and darwin, golangci-lint on linux and windows, CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds.
Since Size returns an error wrapping os.ErrClosed after Close, a Resizes range whose ctx outlived Close kept running and yielded nothing: on Windows it kept polling every 200 ms, on Unix it kept its SIGWINCH registration. Both loops now end the sequence when Size reports a closed Console, as does the Unix check made right after SIGWINCH registration. Other Size errors still leave the sequence running. Both Resizes docs say the sequence ends when ctx ends or the Console is closed, and state when each platform notices the Close: Windows at the next poll, Unix at the start of ranging or the next SIGWINCH. Tests: on Linux, TestResizesEndsAfterClose closes the Console before ranging, and while the signal loop waits, then delivers SIGWINCH; the range must end with ctx still live. On Windows, without a console, a closed Console's range ends, and TestResizesKeepsPollingOnOtherErrors checks that a Size error other than a Close does not end it. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each); vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Mutation runs: 4 killed of 5; the survivor is returning on any Size error on Unix, which no test can tell apart because TIOCGWINSZ does not fail on an open pty (the Windows equivalent is killed).
Wave-added paths had no test that could fail. TestCloseReportsRestoreError makes the Unix restore fail through the setState seam and requires Close to return that error and a second Close to return nil. TestSizeConcurrentWithClose runs Size in a loop while Close runs and requires every error to wrap os.ErrClosed, which pins that Size reads the terminal under the lock Close holds. On Windows, the TestRestoreSkipsUnchangedMode test gains a set_fails case: a failed mode set reaches Close's caller. Test hygiene: fakeModes fails the test and returns an error when its script runs out instead of panicking on an empty slice; the Windows tests share one named waitTimeout bound instead of literal 5 s waits; and the cleanups that reset the input mode report a SetConsoleMode failure. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each); vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds. Mutation runs: a restore that swallows its error, Size without the lock (under -race), Size without its closed check, and a Windows restore that drops the set error each fail: 4 killed of 4.
TestCloseReportsRestoreError checked that a failed restore reaches the caller but not that Close still closes the terminal afterwards, so a Close that returned early on the restore error and left the descriptor open would have passed. The test now requires a Write after that Close to fail with an error wrapping os.ErrClosed. The TestSizeConcurrentWithClose comment now says what the test checks: under -race it catches a Size that reads the closed flag without the lock, while a Size that drops the lock before its ioctl is caught only when the ioctl lands after the close. Verified: go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; a Close that returns on the restore error before closing the terminal fails the new assertion; vet on linux, windows and darwin; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds.

… Windows Size Windows Read with an empty p and nothing buffered still entered ReadConsoleW and could block until input arrived. It now returns 0, nil at once after the closing check, without reading the console. Windows Size released the Console lock after its closing check and only then queried the screen buffer, so a Size could succeed after Close had started, against its doc. It now holds the lock through the query, as the Unix Size does. Lock order is unchanged: Size takes only the Console lock; Close takes it to start, then the writer lock and the Console lock again. The query goes through a per-Console sizeFn field (nil means GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo) so a test can park it. TestOpenAcceptsTerminal now opens through openThroughPath, so a test process that is a session leader skips instead of adopting the pty as its controlling terminal. Tests without a console: TestReadEmptyBufferReturnsAtOnce fails if Read reads the console for an empty buffer; TestSizeHoldsLockAgainstClose parks a Size query, starts Close, and requires Close neither to set a mode nor to return until the query finishes, then Size after Close to report os.ErrClosed. Verified: the Windows test binary on the win11-qa VM under ssh -tt and without a console (count 3 each); mutation runs on the VM (dropping the empty-read return, and releasing the lock before the size query) both fail; go test ./... -race and go test -race -count=20 ./internal/console/ on Linux; vet on linux, windows, darwin, js/wasm and wasip1/wasm; golangci-lint on linux and windows; CGO_ENABLED=0 windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64 builds.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff item about cancelling the reader thread after a wake timeout (console_windows.go Close): I'm not taking this in this PR. The case needs WriteConsoleInputW to fail, or another process attached to the same console to consume every injected wake record for the full second. That is the documented failure path: Close returns a non-nil error, its doc says the reader may still be blocked in ReadConsoleW, and the session layer then stops waiting for the reader instead of joining it, which is the behaviour the design already accepts on Windows. CancelSynchronousIo does unblock a pending ReadConsoleW under ConPTY in my own measurement, but Microsoft does not document cancelling synchronous console reads, and it would need the read pinned to an owned OS thread with a duplicated real thread handle. That is a structural change to the reader lifecycle that doesn't belong in a review-cycle fix, so I'm tracking it separately as a possible fallback after the injected wake times out. TestCloseUnblocksRead is not violated: it covers the wake path, which is what unblocks the reader, and it passes on the Windows host. |

Summary
Adds
internal/console, the local terminal that the client puts into raw mode: raw VT input as UTF-8, remote output written back, the window size and resize events, and a Close that unblocks a pending Read. The session layer (next phase) will drive it; nothing imports it yet.Unix (
console_unix.go, build tagunix): opens/dev/ttyas its own file description so stdin is never touched and Close can unblock a pending Read, does every ioctl throughSyscallConn(neverFd()), gets the size fromTIOCGWINSZand resize events fromSIGWINCH. Usesgolang.org/x/termfor raw mode.Windows (
console_windows.go,syscall_windows.go):ReadConsoleW/WriteConsoleWwith VT input and output modes, UTF-16/UTF-8 codecs (utf16.go) that carry a surrogate pair split across reads and a UTF-8 sequence split across writes, writes chunked to at most 8192 UTF-16 units without ending a chunk on a high surrogate, polled resizes, andOnBreakfor Ctrl+Break. Close wakes a blockedReadConsoleWby injecting an Enter key record (works in raw and line-input mode), flushes pending input, waits for an in-flight Write and restores the modes.WriteConsoleInputW,SetConsoleCtrlHandlerandINPUT_RECORDare declared locally becausex/sys/windowsv0.48.0 lacks them.Same contract on both platforms: Close always returns the console to the modes captured at Open, whether or not MakeRaw ran, so a password prompt interrupted between Open and MakeRaw cannot leave echo off. Close is idempotent (a second Close waits for the first and returns nil). After Close, Write, MakeRaw and Size return an error wrapping
os.ErrClosedand a restore func returns nil. Resizes takes its baseline when it is called, ends when its context ends or the console is closed, and never yields after its context ended. The docs state the remaining platform differences explicitly (Unix keeps unread input as OpenSSH does; Windows discards it).Also:
x/sysbecomes a direct dependency,x/termv0.46.0 is added, and AGENTS.md gets a layout row. The package builds for every target including js/wasm and wasip1/wasm (only the portableconsole.goandutf16.gobuild there).Test Plan
