Closes: #950

Summary

Terminal-dependent bugs were unreproducible from a bundle because the bundle never said
what terminal min was running on. This adds host/terminal.json: per standard stream,
whether it is a tty, and for those that are, the tty device and the TIOCGWINSZ geometry
(rows, cols, xpixel, ypixel). The tty flag is the same precondition attach and
the interactive prompts gate on, so a refused attach or a prompt nobody saw is explained
by this field alone.

The env allowlist widens to TERM_PROGRAM, TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION, and COLORTERM: a
rendering complaint is answered by the emulator, not the termcap name — Terminal.app,
iTerm2, and Ghostty disagree about wide glyphs and truecolor while all reporting
xterm-256color.

The diagnostics spec is extended with R2.10 for host/terminal.json, and R2.4 is
corrected — its allowlist had already drifted from the code.

Redaction policy — what this deliberately does NOT do

LANG and LC_* are not unmasked. Locale can carry country/language signal that is
weakly identifying, and unmasking it is a policy decision for a human, not a collector
change. There is a test asserting LANG stays masked, alongside USER and the token
names.

The widening is by exact name, not prefix — a second test asserts TERMINAL_EMULATOR,
TERM_SESSION_ID, and TERM_TOKEN stay masked, so nothing leaks in on a TERM prefix
match. Both policies are now written into R2.4 rather than living only in the code.

Review notes — all four resolved in 29b4ac6d

The first round of self-review raised four items. Each was valid; each is fixed:

  • ttyname(3) is not per-thread. Its SAFETY comment claimed a per-thread buffer;
    on glibc and musl it is a process-wide static, so two concurrent probes could each
    be handed the other's device. Now uses ttyname_r, which writes into a caller-owned
    buffer. Added concurrent_device_lookups_do_not_collide, which probes eight
    simultaneously-live ptys from eight threads and asserts the answers match the
    uncontended ones. (This is also the concurrency risk CodeRabbit flagged.)
  • Cited requirement R2.3a did not exist. The spec is the authority for bundle
    contents and had never been extended for host/terminal.json. Added R2.10 — appended
    rather than inserted as R2.3a, because the spec states IDs are referenced by the
    planner and must not be renumbered after approval — with its proof artifact and
    traceability row. The test now cites R2.10.
  • cli-min.md under-described the field set. It said "device and its TIOCGWINSZ
    rows/columns"; WinSize also serializes xpixel/ypixel. Now describes the full
    geometry.
  • the_invoking_terminal_is_described was too strict. It asserted rows/cols are
    present whenever tty is true, so a tty whose TIOCGWINSZ fails would fail the assert
    rather than be tolerated. The probe is specified best-effort, so it now demands the size
    be well-formed when present rather than present at all.

Testing

cargo test -p diagnostics -p minimal --test bug --lib on Linux x86_64:

     Running unittests src/lib.rs (diagnostics)
test result: ok. 64 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

     Running unittests src/lib.rs (minimal)
test result: ok. 165 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

     Running tests/bug.rs
test result: ok. 9 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

Covering directly: the_invoking_terminal_is_described,
a_tty_reports_its_device_and_the_size_it_was_opened_with,
a_pipe_is_not_a_tty_and_has_nothing_to_report, every_standard_stream_is_described,
concurrent_device_lookups_do_not_collide, and the redaction pair asserting the exact-match
allowlist and that LANG stays masked.

Also clean: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p diagnostics -p minimal --all-targets.

Not run: the VM/e2e recipes — this change touches no daemon or VM path.

Checklist

  • Docs updated if behavior changed — docs/reference/cli-min.md and the diagnostics
    spec (R2.10 added, R2.4 corrected)
  • BREAKING CHANGE: footer present if this is a breaking change — n/a, additive

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The diagnostics crate adds Unix terminal probing for standard streams, including TTY status, device paths, and window dimensions. The minimal diagnostic bundle writes this data to host/terminal.json, expands the terminal environment allowlist, and adds tests and documentation.

Changes

Terminal diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unix terminal probe
crates/diagnostics/src/lib.rs, crates/diagnostics/src/terminal.rs
Adds Unix-only terminal types, public exports, TTY detection, device lookup, window-size probing, and tests for PTYs, pipes, and standard streams.
Diagnostic bundle integration
crates/minimal/src/diag/collect.rs, crates/minimal/src/diag/mod.rs, crates/minimal/tests/bug.rs
Adds the host.terminal collector, writes host/terminal.json, and validates terminal metadata in min bug.
Environment policy and documentation
crates/minimal/src/diag/redact.rs, docs/reference/cli-min.md
Allowlists TERM_PROGRAM, TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION, and COLORTERM, tests exact matching, and documents the new bundle data.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 25939

The change adds terminal metadata to diagnostic bundles. Concurrent device-name lookups could occasionally record the wrong terminal, creating a bounded diagnostics-correctness risk that should have explicit owner follow-up before or after merge.

Sessions are interactive, so a large class of field reports — the TUI is
garbled, lines wrap at the wrong column, resize does nothing (#950) — are
claims about a terminal the bundle never described. `min bug` probed no
isatty, no window size, and no tty device; triage had to ask the user.

Three additions, all read-only and best-effort:

- `host/terminal.json` records, per standard stream, whether it is a tty.
  That is the precondition `min attach` and the interactive prompts gate
  on, so it separates "ran under a pipe, a script, or CI" from a real
  terminal, and explains an attach that refused or a prompt nobody saw.
- For each stream that is a tty, its device and its `TIOCGWINSZ`
  dimensions. Zero rows/columns are recorded rather than folded into
  `None`: "the terminal claims it has no rows" is the classic
  wrong-wrapping finding, not a failed read, and a size the user's window
  plainly is not says the resize never reached the pty.
- `TERM_PROGRAM`, `TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION`, and `COLORTERM` join `TERM` in
  the verbatim env allowlist. Terminal.app, iTerm2, and Ghostty disagree
  about wide glyphs and truecolor while all reporting `xterm-256color`,
  so the termcap name alone does not identify the emulator. Each names a
  program, never the user or their work; the widening is exact-match, so
  a var that merely starts with the same letters stays masked.

The probe is crate machinery like `system_info` — the mechanic in
`diagnostics`, the archive path the CLI's policy. Its one caveat is
inherent: it describes the terminal `min bug` itself ran on, which is the
terminal that rendered wrong only when the user reports from the same
window. Recording it beside the other host facts is what makes that
judgeable instead of unasked.

Locale vars (`LANG`, `LC_*`) stay masked. They would sharpen the same
diagnosis — a mismatched charset garbles a TUI as thoroughly as a bad
size — but unmasking them is a redaction-policy decision, not a
collector's to make.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For the libc version locked by this repository, verify that libc::ttyname_r is available with the expected signature on every supported Unix target.

💡 Result:

The libc::ttyname_r function is provided by the libc crate as a raw FFI binding to the underlying platform's system library [1][2]. The expected function signature for libc::ttyname_r is [1][3]: pub unsafe extern "C" fn ttyname_r( fd: c_int, buf: *mut c_char, buflen: size_t,) -> c_int This signature is consistent with the POSIX standard definition of ttyname_r [4]. Because the libc crate provides platform-specific bindings, the availability of this function depends on the target OS and its C library implementation [2][5]. On standard Unix-like targets supported by the crate (such as Linux, macOS, and others), the function is typically available [1][6][7]. If a specific target OS does not expose ttyname_r in its system C library, the libc crate will not export it for that target [2]. You can verify availability for a specific target by checking the platform-specific documentation on docs.rs or by inspecting the crate's source code for that platform [2][6][7].

libc 0.2.189 source ttyname_r cfg unix platform bindings ttyname

💡 Result:

In the libc crate version 0.2.189, the ttyname_r function is provided as a raw FFI binding to the underlying system's C library [1][2]. The function is defined under the unix module, which is conditionally included when the target platform is a Unix-like system [3][4][5]. Specifically, the crate uses #[cfg(unix)] in its main library module (lib.rs) to include the relevant Unix-specific definitions [5]. The function signature for ttyname_r in libc is: pub unsafe extern "C" fn ttyname_r( fd: c_int, buf: *mut c_char, buflen: size_t,) -> c_int Because libc is a low-level wrapper crate, it provides these bindings to allow Rust code to interact directly with C library APIs [6][7]. The exact implementation of these functions is determined by the specific target platform for which the crate is compiled [6]. You can view the platform-specific documentation on Docs.rs by selecting your target architecture/OS to see the exact availability and implementation details for your environment [1][7].

POSIX ttyname thread safety static buffer another thread ttyname_r specification

💡 Result:

The ttyname function is not thread-safe and should not be used in multi-threaded programs where multiple threads might call it simultaneously [1][2][3]. According to the POSIX specification, ttyname may return a pointer to a static data area that can be overwritten by subsequent calls to the same function [1][4]. Consequently, if one thread calls ttyname while another thread is also calling it, the data returned to the first thread may be corrupted or modified [1][2]. In contrast, ttyname_r is the thread-safe version of this function [3][5]. It requires the caller to provide a user-supplied buffer and the buffer's size, ensuring that the function stores the terminal name in a thread-specific location (the provided buffer) rather than in shared static memory [1][2][4]. Summary of Key Differences: - ttyname: Not thread-safe; returns a pointer to internal static storage that can be overwritten by other threads or subsequent calls [1][3]. - ttyname_r: Thread-safe; stores the result in a caller-provided buffer, preventing race conditions and data corruption between threads [2][5]. For robust, thread-safe programming, always prefer ttyname_r [3][6].

Linux glibc ttyname thread safety ttyname_r static buffer man page attributes

💡 Result:

In the Linux glibc implementation, the thread safety and buffering characteristics of ttyname and ttyname_r are defined as follows: ttyname The ttyname function is not thread-safe [1][2]. Its attribute is documented as MT-Unsafe race:ttyname [1][3]. It returns a pointer to a statically allocated, null-terminated string that contains the terminal's pathname [2][4]. Because this storage is static, the returned string may be overwritten by subsequent calls to ttyname [1][5][2]. ttyname_r The ttyname_r function is thread-safe and is documented as MT-Safe [1][2]. Unlike ttyname, it requires the caller to provide a user-supplied buffer (char *buf) and its length (size_t size) [1][5][2]. This prevents the data corruption issues associated with static buffers [5][6]. Summary Table Interface | Thread Safety | Buffer Handling --- | --- | --- ttyname | MT-Unsafe (race:ttyname) | Uses internal static buffer; overwritten by subsequent calls. ttyname_r | MT-Safe | Uses user-supplied buffer. Even though modern glibc implementations have moved to using ttyname_r internally to implement ttyname [7], ttyname remains fundamentally unsafe for multi-threaded applications because of the shared static buffer used to hold the result [1][2]. Applications requiring thread safety should always use ttyname_r [5][8].

🌐 Web query:

macOS ttyname ttyname_r thread safety static buffer man page

💡 Result:

On macOS, as on other POSIX-compliant systems, ttyname and ttyname_r differ significantly in their thread safety and buffer management [1][2]. ttyname is not thread-safe [3][4]. It returns a pointer to an internal, static buffer that is shared across the process [5][1]. Because this static memory is overwritten by subsequent calls to ttyname or if the calling thread is terminated, concurrent usage in a multi-threaded environment will result in race conditions and data corruption [3][4]. ttyname_r is the thread-safe alternative [3][4]. It requires the caller to provide a user-allocated buffer and the buffer size as arguments [1][2]. By storing the result in the provided buffer, it avoids the use of shared static data, making it safe for concurrent use by multiple threads [3][4]. In summary, for multi-threaded applications on macOS, you must use ttyname_r rather than ttyname to ensure thread safety [1][2].

site:github.com/rust-lang/libc ttyname_r "0.2.189"

💡 Result:

The term "ttyname_r 0.2.189" refers to the function ttyname_r as it is defined or referenced within the Rust libc crate, specifically at version 0.2.189 [1][2]. The libc crate provides Rust FFI (Foreign Function Interface) bindings to system libraries (libc) on various platforms [1][3]. While ttyname_r is a standard POSIX function defined as int ttyname_r(int fd, char *buf, size_t buflen); [3], its availability and specific implementation details within the libc crate depend on the target platform and the crate's internal bindings [3]. Version 0.2.189 of the libc crate was released on July 21, 2026 [1][2]. It included various updates across different platforms (such as Emscripten, Linux SPARC, and Solarish) [1][4], though ttyname_r itself was introduced to the crate in much earlier versions (e.g., via PR #1350 in 2019) [3]. Documentation and usage of this function should be consulted through the official libc crate documentation for the specific version and target architecture being used.

Use libc::ttyname_r for the public probe.

terminal_info can run concurrently, but ttyname uses shared static storage and is MT-Unsafe. Another call can overwrite the name before it is copied, producing an incorrect device in host/terminal.json. Use a caller-owned buffer, check the return code including ERANGE, then convert the result.

minimal, and validate.

In `@crates/diagnostics/src/terminal.rs` around lines 83 - 94, Update the terminal
probe in terminal_info to use libc::ttyname_r with a caller-owned buffer instead
of libc::ttyname, retrying with a larger buffer on ERANGE and returning None for
other errors; convert the successful NUL-terminated result to an owned String
while preserving the existing invalid UTF-8 behavior.

Four items raised in self-review of the terminal capture, all valid:

- `device_name` used `ttyname(3)`, whose buffer is a process-wide static on
  both glibc and musl — not per-thread as its SAFETY comment claimed. Two
  concurrent probes could each be handed the other's device. Switched to
  `ttyname_r`, which writes into a caller-owned buffer, and added a test
  that probes eight live ptys concurrently and compares against the
  uncontended answers.
- The bundle test cited requirement `R2.3a`, which does not exist. The
  diagnostics spec is the authority for bundle contents and had never been
  extended for `host/terminal.json`, so add **R2.10** (appended, not
  inserted as R2.3a: the spec forbids renumbering after approval) with its
  proof artifact and traceability row, and cite it.
- R2.4's allowlist had drifted from the code — it still omitted
  `TERM_PROGRAM`, `TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION`, and `COLORTERM`. Recorded those,
  the exact-match (not `TERM`-prefix) discipline, and the deliberate
  decision to leave `LANG`/`LC_*` masked.
- `cli-min.md` described the capture as `TIOCGWINSZ` rows/columns; the
  serialized `WinSize` also carries `xpixel`/`ypixel`.

`the_invoking_terminal_is_described` also asserted a tty always carries
rows/cols, which would fail a tty whose `TIOCGWINSZ` fails rather than
tolerate it. The probe is specified best-effort, so it now demands the size
be well-formed when present rather than present at all.
