Summary

In-session min add printed a static fetching <pkg> line per package and nothing while the bytes downloaded. The in-sandbox helper path (SessionChannel::install → /run/minenv_sock → env_min_helper.sh) only ever carried one-shot msg: lines, so it could not animate.

This adds a bar: line to that protocol, painted from the byte progress the session OpTracker already records:

  • The daemon paints at most ~12 Hz and only when the text changes; an empty bar: clears the row.
  • The helper redraws bar: in place on a TTY, clears it before any msg:/error: and at exit (no stale partial frame left in scrollback), and drops it when stdout is a pipe or log. Width is re-read per paint so a resize does not wrap the row.
  • Concurrent downloads collapse into one meter. Finished downloads stay in the totals, so the fill never moves backwards when one of several completes.
  • min add's meter is scoped to the added packages and their build/runtime closure, so a task building in another shell on the same session does not take it over. FetchSource/FetchIndex name no package and remain unscoped.
  • In-box min build gets the same meter via the shared sandbox_progress::relay.

Testing

  • cross clippy -p minimald --all-targets --target aarch64-unknown-linux-musl -- -D warnings: clean.
  • cross test -p minimald: 383 passed, 2 failed. The two failures (nsenter::tests::a_shim_that_is_no_longer_on_disk_is_named_as_the_failure, nsenter::tests::the_registered_shim_overrides_current_exe_and_yields_to_an_explicit_one) fail identically on unmodified main under cross.
  • 16 sandbox_progress unit tests: meter formatting, monotonic totals, fetch→extract handoff, scoping, clear-on-finish, repaint-after-message, and relay end to end.
  • Helper exercised against a scripted daemon under a pty and through a pipe: the tty ends with only the msg: lines visible; the pipe shows only msg: lines.
  • just e2e and a manual in-box min add: results to follow.

Checklist

  • Docs updated if behavior changed
  • BREAKING CHANGE: footer present if this is a breaking change

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Build and installation operations now show live progress in the terminal, including package activity and download progress.
    • Progress updates redraw in place to keep output readable, and clear when progress ends or a message appears.
    • Cached installations remain quiet, and package progress is limited to requested packages and their dependencies.

In-session min add only printed a static "fetching" line while bytes downloaded. Paint the existing fetch progress as a bar the in-sandbox helper redraws in place.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Clear the meter instead of leaving its last frame in scrollback, keep
finished downloads in the totals so the fill never moves backwards,
scope an add's meter to the packages it installs, re-read the terminal
width per paint, and paint the same meter for in-box min build.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sandbox installs and builds now relay operation progress through SandboxProgress. The in-sandbox helper handles bar: responses by redrawing progress on interactive terminals and clearing the line when needed.

Changes

Sandbox progress reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Progress state and formatting
crates/minimald/src/sandbox_progress.rs
SandboxProgress derives scoped status and fetch lines from operation snapshots. It tracks completed fetch bytes, formats combined progress, and skips unchanged redraws. Tests cover formatting, scoping, and redraw behavior.
Session event relay and wiring
crates/minimald/src/env.rs, crates/minimald/src/lib.rs, crates/minimald/src/sandbox_progress.rs
Install uses progress scoped to requested packages and their dependencies. Session builds use an unscoped progress meter. The relay forwards events and refreshes progress on an interval.
Terminal progress-line handling
crates/minimald/src/env_min_helper.sh
The helper reads terminal width and redraws bar: lines on interactive stdout. It clears an open line before messages or errors and after the response loop.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Sandbox add and build commands now show a download and build progress line. The remaining issues are cosmetic. The meter can show misleading percentages or byte counts for some download sequences. On unusual or very narrow terminals it can leave a partial line on screen. Installs and builds still complete. These are small fixes that can be made before or shortly after merge.

A rabbit watches bytes advance,
While fetch names hop into view.
The meter clears when work is done,
Then messages pass along.
Ears twitch at each fresh update,
And quiet shells stay still.

MEDIUM · correctness · confidence 0.72 · in format_fetches

A completed download with an unknown length suppresses the meter bar for every concurrent known-length download, for the rest of the run. self.fetches is never pruned, and format_fetches folds the length over all fetches (self.fetches.values()), so the try_fold short-circuits to None the moment any single fetch — live OR finished — has len == None. A chunked fetch (no Content-Length) leaves len = None permanently in its Fetch entry after it finishes, so once one such download completes, every subsequent live fetch in the same min add renders as Fetch <name> <bytes> with no [===...] bar, even though its own length is known. The comment on lines 202-204 justifies suppressing the bar for a live unknown-length fetch (you cannot draw a total), but a completed one should not keep poisoning the meter. Suggest dropping completed fetches from the length sum once they are no longer live, or skipping len == None entries that are already finished.

Severity:   medium (reviewer confidence 0.72)

Finding:
A completed download with an unknown length suppresses the meter bar for every concurrent known-length download, for the rest of the run. `self.fetches` is never pruned, and `format_fetches` folds the length over all fetches (`self.fetches.values()`), so the `try_fold` short-circuits to `None` the moment any single fetch — live OR finished — has `len == None`. A chunked fetch (no Content-Length) leaves `len = None` permanently in its `Fetch` entry after it finishes, so once one such download completes, every subsequent live fetch in the same `min add` renders as `Fetch <name> <bytes>` with no `[===...]` bar, even though its own length is known. The comment on lines 202-204 justifies suppressing the bar for a *live* unknown-length fetch (you cannot draw a total), but a *completed* one should not keep poisoning the meter. Suggest dropping completed fetches from the length sum once they are no longer live, or skipping `len == None` entries that are already finished.

First verify this against the code yourself. It is model output and
may be wrong. If it is wrong, or the tradeoff was deliberate, say so
and change nothing.

Valid. Fixed in #1583 (f73bc1d): a finished download whose length was never known now takes the size it received, and the totals reset once no download is in flight, so it can no longer hide a live meter. Test: a_finished_unknown_length_fetch_does_not_hide_the_meter.

In `@crates/minimald/src/env_min_helper.sh`:
- Line 8: Update the terminal-size lookup in the `size` assignment to read the
width from stdout’s terminal descriptor instead of `/dev/tty`, so progress
output uses the terminal where it is written. Preserve valid widths below 20
rather than replacing them with the 80-column fallback.

In `@crates/minimald/src/sandbox_progress.rs`:
- Around line 107-120: Update the no-live-fetch path in the progress update
method containing the `live` check to clear `self.fetches` once `live` is empty,
before processing statuses, so completed fetch totals do not carry over to later
fetches.
- Around line 89-101: Normalize the length in the fetch insertion path around
`Progress` and `Fetch` so `Some(0)` is stored as `None` for each fetch; preserve
positive lengths and the existing position handling.
