Fix startup wedge when several terminal hosts are unadoptable - #10299
Fix startup wedge when several terminal hosts are unadoptable#10299lawrencecchen wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
A daemon restart that finds several unadoptable terminal hosts in the same pane must still start. Today the first exit-detach projects the whole tree while the other restored tab still has no surface, so startup aborts with "pane references missing surface <slot>" and writes nothing, which makes the session permanently unopenable.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughDead terminal host recovery now commits durable exit state before deleting host records. Restored tab projection and terminal ordering use durable identity fallbacks when live surfaces are unavailable. A restart regression test covers multiple dead hosts in one pane. ChangesTerminal recovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change allows sessions with multiple unadoptable terminal hosts to restart and cleanly prune those hosts, while preserving host records until durable exit cleanup succeeds. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the repeated cleanup and tab-identity fallback logic should be consolidated in follow-up to reduce future divergence risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

`ordered_terminal_tab_ids` demanded a live surface for every pane tab, while the projection loop right below it already accepted a restored tab that had no surface yet. Startup restores tabs before adoption, so an unadoptable host leaves a tab with no surface, and the ordering pre-pass aborted the whole projection with "pane references missing surface <slot>". The abort happened inside the exit-detach commit that was supposed to prune that terminal, so nothing was written and every later start repeated it. One orphan host recovered, because removing it made the tree consistent; two or more behind the same pane wedged the session forever. Both call sites now resolve tab identity through one helper that prefers the live surface and falls back to the durable indexes. Also commit the durable exit before deleting the host record in the two startup paths that proved a host dead. The record is the only evidence that the host existed, so a failed commit must not erase it first.

1064-1078: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsolidate the remaining
active_tabfallback intotab_resource_identity.
tab_resource_identityis now the single authoritative helper for live-surface/durable-index fallback. Theactive_tabcomputation still duplicates the same fallback in the opposite priority order (index first, then surface), unliketab_resource_identity(surface first, then index). A prior review flagged this exact duplication and asked for consolidation; that request is marked resolved in an earlier commit, but the current code still shows the old inline pattern.Both paths are presumed consistent only because
rebuild_resource_indexes()runs first, so this is not an active bug. It remains a duplication risk: a future change to one fallback path can silently diverge from the other.♻️ Proposed consolidation

Correct commit-before-delete ordering; extract the duplicated cleanup into one helper.
Both blocks now call mark_terminal_exited_and_detach(...)? before remove_stale_terminal_host_record, so a failed commit keeps the host record as evidence for the next startup retry instead of deleting it first. This matches the PR's stated fix and is correct.
These two blocks are now identical apart from the trailing continue, and a third copy of the same "mark exited, then best-effort remove the stale record" sequence already exists elsewhere in adopt_terminal_hosts (finish_terminal_adoption failure path). Three independent copies of the same ordering-sensitive sequence is what let one copy drift out of order before this fix. Extract a small helper, for example fn reconcile_dead_terminal_host(&self, terminal_id: &str, record_path: &Path, record: &TerminalHostRecord, options: &SurfaceOptions) -> anyhow::Result<()>, and call it from all three sites.

A session that restarts with two or more unadoptable terminal hosts behind the same pane never opens again.
cmuxexits withcmux-tui: pane references missing surface <slot>and writes nothing, so every later start repeats it. Reported fromuvx cmux0.10.0 against a real session; reproduced deterministically against a copy of that session state.Cause:
ordered_terminal_tab_idsrequired a live surface for every pane tab, while the projection loop directly below it already accepted a restored tab with no surface yet (that fallback landed with the multiview work in #9387). Startup restores tabs before adoption, so an unadoptable host leaves a tab with no surface. The abort happened insidepersist_terminal_exit, which builds the exit-detach projection before it commits, so the commit that was supposed to prune that terminal was the one that failed. One orphan host still recovered, because removing it made the tree consistent. Two behind one pane wedged the session permanently.Both call sites now resolve tab identity through one helper: live surface first, durable indexes as the authority.
Also reorders the two startup paths that prove a host dead so the durable exit commits before the host record is deleted. The record is the only evidence that the host existed, and the old order erased it whenever the commit failed. That is why the reported session ended with no host records and two rows still in
adopting.Regression test in the first commit, fix in the second, so CI shows red then green.
daemon_restart_prunes_every_dead_host_behind_one_panekills two hosts behind one pane while the daemon is stopped, restarts, and requires both terminals to reachexitedwith the pane pruned.Deliberately not in this PR: making startup non-fatal (quarantine unprojectable state instead of refusing to start). That would hide real corruption, and it deserves its own change.

Prevents a startup wedge when multiple unadoptable terminal hosts share a pane. Previously startup aborted with “pane references missing surface ” during the first exit–detach commit and the session never opened; now restored tabs use durable indexes when no live surface exists, so startup prunes all dead hosts and completes.
