fix(shellexec): preserve argv boundaries for SSH and WSL command launches - #3512
andrewinalaska wants to merge 7 commits into
Conversation
Add SerializeCommandForShell/QuoteForShellType (shellquote.go) and PrefixEnvAssignmentsForShell (tokenswap.go) as the single, centralized places that flatten argv/env into an outer-shell command line. Also fix env-var encoding (bash/fish/pwsh) to iterate keys in sorted order for deterministic output.
cmdserialize_test.go covers SerializeCommandForShell for bash/fish/pwsh outer shells, reproduces the exact old-construction bug (unquoted '-c "multi word"' losing argv boundaries) with a before/after comparison, and fuzzes single-argument round-trips through a real 'sh -c', asserting the printed output exactly reconstructs the original argv element.
Rework StartRemoteShellProc and StartWslShellProc to build cmdCombined via shellutil.SerializeCommandForShell (argv-structured, quoted once at the transport boundary) instead of an unquoted strings.Join, fixing the flattening bug where '-c "multi word cmd"' lost its argv boundary over SSH/WSL. Distinguish outer shell type (remote login shell / WSL's sh -c wrapper) from inner shell type (the shell being launched). Remove the compensating '& '+shellPath PowerShell hack and the hand-embedded fish -C quote literal — both are now handled centrally by the serializer / HardQuoteFish. Use path.Join off remoteInfo.HomeDir instead of tilde-relative paths for WSL rc/profile paths, matching the SSH path's existing behavior. Env vars (ZDOTDIR/swap token/JWT) are now assigned via shellutil.PrefixEnvAssignmentsForShell in deterministic sorted order instead of ad hoc unquoted string prepends. Adds an in-process real-SSH-protocol integration test (sshintegration_test.go) that reproduces the original bug over a real ssh.Client/ssh.Session round trip before the fix, and confirms the new construction preserves argv boundaries for representative cmdStr shapes.
…ets from logs StartWslShellProcNoWsh previously ignored cmdStr entirely, always launching an interactive shell — extract the argv decision into wslNoWshArgv() so a non-empty cmdStr is actually executed via a structured 'sh -c' exec.Command call (no join, no quoting needed). StartRemoteShellProcNoWsh had the same bug: it always called session.Shell() and never ran a requested cmdStr; it now calls sessionWrap.Start(cmdStr) when cmdStr is non-empty. Add describeForLog, the only place StartRemoteShellProc/StartWslShellProc are allowed to log a launch summary: shell types, executable, argc, and env var key NAMES only. Replace the prior conn.Infof/Debugf/log.Printf call sites that logged the raw swap token, the packed token, or the fully env-prefixed command string (which embeds both) with calls to describeForLog, and log the launch summary before env-prefixing so the logged line can never contain a secret value.
tmuxe2e_test.go drives a real tmux server on a throwaway socket (t.TempDir(), never /tmp) via a real SSH exec channel, reproducing the motivating bug shape (wsh run -- tmux <subcommand with a multi-word argument>, e.g. 'attach -t <session>' or 'send-keys ... "echo foo"'). The old unquoted construction sends 'echo' and 'tmux-e2e-marker-old' as separate send-keys arguments, concatenating into an invalid 'echotmux-e2e-marker-old' command; the new SerializeCommandForShell construction preserves the multi-word argument and the echo runs cleanly.

WalkthroughThe change adds shell-aware command serialization and deterministic environment assignment prefixing. WSL and SSH launch paths now execute non-empty command strings, use validated home-directory paths, and select the appropriate outer shell for quoting.

invoke SessionWrap.Start(), wait for the command to complete, and assert the
collected output. Remove the direct session.Output(sessionWrap.StartCmd) call so
the test exercises the SessionWrap.Start wrapper and the non-empty-command
production path.
- Around line 112-115: Update StartRemoteShellProc to remove raw cmdStr from
debug logging and emit metadata-only information instead, ensuring secrets and
the fully assembled environment-prefixed command never reach the logger. Add a
logger-capture test covering the complete launcher path, including the
StartRemoteShellProc sink, and verify the raw command and embedded credentials
are absent.
In `@pkg/shellexec/shellexec.go`:
- Line 255: Update the logging in StartRemoteShellJob and the other affected
shell execution paths to stop emitting raw cmdStr, shellOpts containing command
text, and complete PackForClient results; use describeForLog or equivalent
metadata-only summaries instead, and remove packedToken from all log messages
while preserving the existing execution behavior.
In `@pkg/shellexec/tmuxe2e_test.go`:
- Line 69: Replace the fixed sleeps in the tmux end-to-end test with bounded
polling of capture() after each command, waiting for the expected pane state
with a short interval and explicit deadline. Fail the test when either expected
state is not observed before the deadline, preserving the new-marker and
old-marker assertions.

…v#3512 - HardQuotePowerShell: stop doubling newline bytes. The switch's `\n` case appended the `` `n `` escape but then fell through to the unconditional trailing byte-append, emitting both the escape and the raw newline for every one in the input. Add a regression test. - Remove three leftover raw cmdStr debug logs (StartWslShellProc, StartRemoteShellProc, StartRemoteShellJob) that predated the describeForLog helper and were never cleaned up - two were already redundant with a same-function describeForLog call a few lines later, the third (StartRemoteShellJob) had no describeForLog call at all and also logged the full assembled command at Info level via strings.Join(shellOpts). StartRemoteShellJob now calls describeForLog too. Also drop two raw "packed swaptoken %s" debug logs (StartRemoteShellJob, StartLocalShellProc) that leaked the encoded swap token value directly. - shellexec_test.go: TestNoWsh_SessionWrapDeliversCmdStrOverRealSSH now actually calls SessionWrap.Start() and captures its output via a buffer, instead of calling session.Output(sessionWrap.StartCmd) directly - the old version could pass even if SessionWrap.Start regressed to session.Shell(). - tokenswap.go: fix two QF1012 staticcheck findings (sb.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(...)) -> fmt.Fprintf(&sb, ...)). - tmuxe2e_test.go: replace fixed sleeps with a deterministic settle sentinel - send a distinct "echo settled-N" after each tmux send-keys call and poll capture-pane for that sentinel appearing as its own output line (not merely as a substring of its own unexecuted echoed input, which a naive Contains check would also match) before asserting on the prior command's effect. Verified stable over 8 consecutive runs, ~5x faster than the fixed-sleep version. All packages build and vet clean; pkg/shellexec and pkg/util/shellutil tests pass, including 8 repeated runs of the previously-sleep-based e2e test. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

coderabbit caught a real gap in the settle-sentinel fix from e017116: waitForPane returned the last (possibly incomplete) capture when its deadline expired without ever seeing the ready condition, instead of failing - a genuine timeout (e.g. tmux/ssh hung) would silently fall through to the downstream assertions with a stale pane snapshot rather than reporting what actually happened. Fatal on timeout instead. Verified stable over 5 consecutive runs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Summary
StartRemoteShellProc/StartRemoteShellProcNoWshand the WSL launch path built the remote command by flatteningshellOpts(e.g.["-c", cmdStr]) into a single string viastrings.Join, then sending that string down the raw SSH exec channel (orsh -cfor WSL). The remote login shell re-parses that string itself, and-conly binds its next single token as the script body — so any multi-wordcmdStrsilently loses its trailing arguments as unused positional parameters.Concretely,
wsh run -- tmux attach -t mysessionover SSH would flatten to something likebash -c tmux attach -t mysession. The remote shell binds-ctotmuxalone;attach,-t,mysessionbecome$0/$1/$2and are dropped. The result is a baretmuxinvocation instead of attaching to the named session.Local exec was never affected — it already used structured
exec.Command(shellPath, shellOpts...).Fix
SerializeCommandForShell(pkg/util/shellutil/shellquote.go) is now the single place argv is ever flattened into shell text, one code path per outer-shell dialect (POSIX/fish/pwsh).sh -c) is now distinguished from inner shell type.shellPath = "& " + shellPathPowerShell call-operator hack, and a hand-embedded literal-quote hack in fish's-Carg (now usesHardQuoteFish).remoteInfo.HomeDir-based) paths.StartRemoteShellProcNoWsh/ the WSL no-wsh fallback, which previously ignored a non-emptycmdStrentirely and always launched an interactive shell.conn.Infof("swaptoken: %s", ...), and a WSLlog.Printfof the fully assembled command including env). Replaced with adescribeForLog-style helper that logs only shell types, executable, argc, and env key names — verified by a dedicated test asserting token/JWT values never appear in log output.Testing
