Summary

The minimal-tui to crates/minimal fold removed the crate boundary that forced min dash to carry private copies of CLI logic. This points the dashboard at the CLI's own helpers and deletes the copies.

  • Upload path: cmd/project.rs gains UploadDecision, decide_workspace_upload, and run_workspace_upload. Both session activate and task run now call them, and the dashboard follows the CLI's upload gate. A VCS root or a root with a minimal.toml uploads. An empty directory or $HOME skips. An undeclared non-VCS root gets a footer confirmation prompt (y/n) before anything reaches the daemon. The dashboard previously refused it outright.
  • Activation inputs: loadouts::prepare_activation_inputs runs the read-config, resolve-loadouts, stage-hook-scripts, hook-budget, and compose sequence for all three flows. DashOptions carries the loadout selection, and each create composes against its own project path, so the dashboard uploads loadout hook scripts. without_external_hook_scripts is gone and an external loadout hook works from the dashboard.
  • Zone holds: the dashboard now calls the CLI's holds_name, hold_box_name_with_vm_host, and release_held_name_after_attach. Its own private copies are gone, including a release-after-attach that lacked the lo 8000 okup timeout.
  • This removes the duplicate resolve_upload_root and its four duplicate tests.

Spec R6.3 records the footer confirmation and the per-create composition.

Out of scope

Extracting a shared create_configure_finalize core (the plan's Seam 4). The CLI create interleaves VM-host box registration, row withdrawal, and session-start output between CreateSession and the upload. A shared core reorders that transcript and re-reads the answerer after the session is Active. Split into a follow-up.

Testing

just fmt and just clippy (workspace, warnings denied) are clean. cargo test -p minimal --tests passes 431 lib tests and the cli (60), dash_snapshots (19), bug (13), named_vm (3), and git_remote (1) integration targets. One test, tests::legacy_network_spellings_parse_with_hint, also fails on the base branch.

Not run: just e2e and just test-vm (no KVM in this environment), so Seam 4 stays out until a KVM host can exercise it.

Checklist

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

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Dashboard session creation asks before uploading an undeclared, non-version-controlled project folder. Choose yes to upload, no to create without uploading, or Esc to cancel.
    • Session and task creation follow consistent upload rules: empty folders and your home folder are skipped by default, while version-controlled projects and folders with minimal.toml are uploaded. Explicit tarball sync can request an upload.
    • In headless mode, creation skips uploads that require confirmation. Session creation is refused if skipping would discard lifecycle hooks; task creation warns instead.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the dashboard specification to describe session-creation upload behavior.

Walkthrough

Session, task, and dashboard creation now share activation preparation and workspace-upload handling. Dashboard creation can prompt before uploading an undeclared workspace. Activation receives the selected upload decision and prepared inputs.

Changes: Activation and Workspace Upload

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared activation and upload helpers
crates/minimal/src/loadouts.rs, crates/minimal/src/cmd/project.rs, crates/minimal/src/tests.rs
Activation preparation gathers loadout, policy, hook, and contribution data. Shared helpers decide, execute, and report workspace uploads. Tests cover upload decisions, hook handling, and resolved-root notices.
Session, task, and box-create integration
crates/minimal/src/cmd/boxes/create.rs, crates/minimal/src/cmd/boxes/vm_host.rs, crates/minimal/src/cmd/session.rs, crates/minimal/src/task.rs
Task and box creation use shared activation preparation and upload handling. Box creation plans uploads before session creation and withdraws the registered row if upload fails. Session name-hold checks use the shared predicate.
Dashboard creation and confirmation
crates/minimal/src/cli.rs, crates/minimal/src/cmd/list.rs, crates/minimal/src/dash/app.rs, crates/minimal/src/dash/render.rs, docs/specs/07-spec-min-dash-tui/07-spec-min-dash-tui.md
Dashboard creation prepares activation inputs and upload decisions. The UI queues confirmation prompts, accepts upload, decline, or cancel answers, and reports upload outcomes. The specification describes the updated create flow.
Dashboard activation and name handling
crates/minimal/src/cmd/boxes/vm_host.rs, crates/minimal/src/dash/rpc.rs, crates/minimal/tests/cli.rs
Activation receives the upload root, decision, and prepared inputs. It uses shared upload handling, uploads staged hook scripts, configures the contribution, and finalizes with the hook budget. Shared VM-host helpers handle held names and row withdrawal.

1169-1171: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move prepare_activation_inputs off the async worker.

prepare_activation_inputs reads config files, reads policy files, resolves loadouts, and stages hook scripts with blocking filesystem I/O. The create task calls it directly on a Tokio worker. The resolve step a few lines below already uses spawn_blocking for this reason. If a mount stalls during staging, the worker stalls with it. Run this call inside the same spawn_blocking block as resolve_upload_root, or in its own spawn_blocking block. A retrieved learning gives the same rule: "avoid blocking filesystem work in async contexts… run that work in a blocking thread via tokio::task::spawn_blocking".

Two behaviour changes in the dashboard's new create path, inline below. The CLI side (session activate, task run) reads as a faithful extraction to me, and the confirm prompt and abort paths now go through withdraw_box_row, which is an improvement.

Comment thread crates/minimal/src/dash/rpc.rs Resolved
The dashboard carried a private copy of resolve_upload_root and four
duplicate tests. The fold put the dashboard in the same crate as the CLI,
so point dash/rpc.rs at crate::resolve_upload_root and keep the canonical
tests in tests.rs.
The resolve-root -> empty/$HOME -> upload_gate -> prompt -> upload sequence
was written out in `session activate` and `task run`. Add
`UploadDecision`/`decide_workspace_upload` and `run_workspace_upload` to
cmd/project.rs and port both callers onto them, with no behavior change. The
notices, the dropped-hooks refusal, and the failure context now have one home.
The dashboard refused a non-VCS upload root outright, so a blueprint root
or a declared project could not be created from the TUI. Point
dash::activate at the shared run_workspace_upload: the create task now
resolves the root and decision, and on the undeclared non-VCS Confirm case
it pauses for a footer confirm, answered through a token-keyed oneshot.
rpc::activate stops resolving/gating and takes the resolved root and
decision. Update spec R6.3.
dash/rpc.rs carried its own holds_name, a blocking hold_box_name_beside
call, and a release_held_name_after_attach that skipped the connect and
BOX_CONTROL_TIMEOUT handling min session destroy has. Since the fold put
the dashboard in the CLI crate, promote the CLI helpers (holds_name,
hold_box_name_with_vm_host) and point dash's thin wrappers at them;
dash's release-after-attach is deleted in favour of the CLI's.
read_client_config -> resolve_active_loadouts -> stage hook scripts ->
hook budget -> compose ran in session activate, task run, and min dash's
startup. Add prepare_activation_inputs to loadouts.rs and point the CLI
flows and the dashboard at it. DashOptions now carries the loadout
selection and each create composes against its own project path, so the
dashboard uploads hook scripts and without_external_hook_scripts is
deleted: an external loadout hook works from the dashboard. Update spec
R6.3.
Carry the task-env-amended user policy into `prepare_activation_inputs`
as an override, so composition and the pending gate use the approved
rules even when persisting them failed. Drop the re-read that lost the
in-memory policy.

Run the activation-inputs prep off the async worker in the dashboard
create, alongside the upload gate: it does more blocking filesystem
work than the pair already offloaded.

Record the composition's patches in spec R6.3.
run_workspace_upload no longer prints notices or owns the dropped-hooks
refusal: it returns a WorkspaceUpload outcome (Uploaded /
SkippedEmptyOrHome / SkippedUndeclared { dropped_hooks } / Declined) and
the callers render it. UploadProgress is now transport-only.

The CLI shares report_upload_outcome for the notice wording; the
dashboard ignores the outcome, as before. Also rewords the dash create
comment and the holds_name doc, and adds tests for the refusal and the
resolved-root notice.
The dash mapped the create form's "no" to `UploadDecision::SkipUndeclared`
and then discarded the upload outcome. `SkipUndeclared` is the *headless*
skip — the one `min session activate` refuses when the project's lifecycle
hooks would go with the skipped tree — so the user's deliberate answer and
that skip were the same value, and nothing downstream could tell them apart.

Give the decline its own decision (`UploadDecision::Declined`, mapped to the
`WorkspaceUpload::Declined` the CLI's own confirm already produces), and gate
the dashboard's activate on the outcome through the refusal the CLI applies,
shared as `refuse_dropped_hooks`, so a hook-dropping skip fails the create
there too. Record both in spec R6.3.

A skip already implies no `minimal.toml` at the upload root, hence no hooks
to drop (`has_blueprint` uploads any declared root), so the gate is a
guard on the boundary rather than a path the dashboard can reach today.
The refusal over a skipped upload that would drop the project's lifecycle
hooks could never fire. `SkippedUndeclared` comes from `SkipHeadless`, which
`upload_gate` returns only for a root with no `minimal.toml`, and such a root
declares no hooks — so `dropped_hooks` was always zero and the guard was dead
code claiming a guarantee it could not give.

The skip that does cost hooks is `$HOME`: the empty/`$HOME` carve-out runs
before the gate, so a home directory that is itself a declared project has its
`minimal.toml`, hooks and all, skipped with the tree. Both the CLI and the
dashboard reported that as a plain skip.

Carry the count on the skip that can cost hooks (`SkippedEmptyOrHome`) and
refuse on it, leaving `SkippedUndeclared` a unit variant: a root with no
config has no hooks to lose, so that skip warns and never refuses. `min
session activate` in such a `$HOME` now refuses, naming `--sync tarball` and
`--sync none`, instead of starting an empty box without the hooks; `min task
run` keeps warning, and the dashboard fails its create. Spec R6.3 says which
skip refuses.

`decide_workspace_upload` takes `$HOME` as a parameter rather than reading it
inside, so a test can reach the guarded state off this machine's own home
directory.
The create's upload confirm answered "n" and Esc the same way, so Esc created
an empty box where every other dashboard prompt backs out. The oneshot now
carries `UploadAnswer` (Upload / Decline / Cancel), and Cancel ends the create
task before `activate` runs: no record, no box, and "create cancelled" on the
status line.

The upload's outcome was invisible from the dashboard: `Activated` and
`Msg::Created` carry it now and `created_status` says what a skip cost, as the
CLI's own lines do. "session created" alone made a skipped tree look like a
full one.

A refusal over a `$HOME` that declares lifecycle hooks words its remedy per
caller: the CLI names its `--sync` flags, and the dashboard, which owns
neither, names the command that does instead.

The spec records the Esc answer, and the loadout inputs finish the
sessions-to-boxes rename the rebase left behind.
The dashboard's create task always passes `headless: false` and resolves
its own confirm, so it can only produce `Uploaded`, `SkippedEmptyOrHome`
or `Declined`; `SkippedUndeclared` is unreachable there. Keep the arm so
the match stays exhaustive over the shared `WorkspaceUpload`.
- Name the lifecycle hooks a non-refusing task-run upload drops, so the
  empty-box warning is not mistaken for a healthy start.
- Shorten the dashboard upload root so the question and key hints stay in
  the footer.
- Reword the holds_name doc in plain English.
- Select the dropped-hooks policy at the activate call site, so
  --no-hooks proceeds instead of refusing an activation that already
  disabled the project's hooks.
- Keep the hook warning for task run and say nothing about hooks when
  the caller disabled them.
- Plan the upload before the create. `PlanUpload` resolves the decision and
  refuses a `$HOME` skip that would drop the project's hooks, so neither the
  CLI nor the dashboard creates a session and a row only to tear them down,
  and the decision no longer runs with a live draft session.
- Hand `prepare_activation_inputs` the resolved project root, not the
  invocation directory, so a create from a subdirectory checks the project's
  own hooks and sizes the finalize budget against its `minimal.toml`.
- `min task run` passes `ProjectHookCheck::Skip`: sharing the helper had
  added a client-side project-hook refusal that path never had, with no
  `--no-hooks` to get past it.
- Read the dashboard's client config and user policy before the TUI takes
  the screen, and resolve the default loadouts there, so their notices land
  on the terminal and a broken config fails at startup, not per create.
- Make the upload confirm answer deliberately: discard keys already in
  flight when it opens, let `q`/Ctrl-C still quit, and show `esc` in the
  footer.
- Share one CLI upload sequence (resolved-root notice, confirm prompt,
  transport, outcome) and one row withdrawal, so the dashboard and the CLI
  cannot drift, and derive the confirm's width budget from the spans it
  renders.
`UploadPlan` carries the upload root and its decision together, so
`UploadFiles` no longer re-checks `--sync` or expects two parallel options
to agree. `HookPrep` folds `hooks_enabled` and the project-check flag into
one tri-state, so the shared prep reads as one hook choice rather than two
booleans in a row. The confirm prompt lives in its one caller, the
in-flight input drain is a named helper, and the pre-create refusal builds
its error directly instead of fabricating an outcome to refuse.
A confirm queued behind an open modal used to drain keystrokes meant for
that modal. `show_pending_confirm` now reports whether it opened the
confirm, and only then is the in-flight input discarded.
The drain treated `Ok(None)` and `Ok(Some(Err(_)))` as buffered input, so a
closed or failing terminal stream would spin forever. Only a real event is
discarded now; an ended stream stops the drain and the main loop sees the
end on its next read.
`report_upload_outcome` wrote with `eprintln!`, which libtest captures at
the std layer, so the tests that observed it through an fd-level capture
passed under nextest and failed under plain `cargo test`. It now takes the
sink (`std::io::stderr()` in the CLI, a buffer in the tests), and the
tests assert on that buffer with no fd games.

min task run now records the resolved upload root as the box project root. It used the invoked directory before. A task started from a subdirectory gets a different project root. activate_box already does this, so it may be intended. The PR body does not mention it and no test pins it.

update panics with unreachable! on Msg::CreateUploadConfirm. The invariant holds only because the run loop intercepts it first. Any other caller of update takes down the TUI. Return no effects instead, and drop the reply.
