Neil b7e79b7ca6 fix(windows): one chokepoint for every child process (#15746)
* feat(process): add the Windows-correct child-process chokepoint

Six decisions have to be made every time Orca starts a child process --
console visibility, argument quoting, .cmd interpretation, binary
resolution, timeout policy, and how the tree is later terminated. POSIX
forgives all six. Windows punishes each differently, and made per-call
site across 172 files they were right in some and wrong in others.

runProcess/spawnProcess make them once:
- windowsHide unconditionally, shell:false unconditionally (shell:true
  concatenates argv unescaped and silently disables windowsHide)
- .cmd/.bat routed through cmd.exe /d /v:off /s /c with a verbatim line,
  because Node refuses to spawn them otherwise (EINVAL)

The encoding was derived by measurement on Windows 11, not from the
docs. An embedded quote is written "" rather than \" so cmd's naive
quote count stays even -- with \" the parity flips and every later &
| < > on the line stops being data. Measured before the fix, argv
["a b", 'c"d', "e%F%g", "h&i", "j^k"] arrived as
["a b", 'c"d', "e^%F^%g", "h"]: the & truncated the argument and
ran its remainder as a command. Each % is broken out of the quoted run
as "^%" because %VAR% expands even inside quotes.

The import-boundary test is a ratchet seeded at today's 172 files; it
only shrinks.

* fix(process): route the console-flashing spawn sites through the chokepoint

The ssh -G config probe fires on every connect and reconnect, and ssh.exe
is console-subsystem, so a GUI-subsystem parent gets a fresh visible
conhost that takes foreground -- keystrokes typed into an Orca terminal
at that moment go into the black box (#10488, #14543). Same for the
ProxyJump tunnel, the ProxyCommand cmd.exe wrapper, the font enumeration
and the DPAPI cookie decrypt.

Also stops spawning powershell by bare name: PATH under Electron is not
the user's, so where policy has pruned the System32 entry the spawn fails
and the font picker silently reports five hardcoded families rather than
an error (#11771).

Deletes system-fonts' 40-line bespoke execFileText -- timeout, output cap
and kill are the chokepoint's job now. Adds runProcessSync so the sync
callers have a compliant path; without one the ratchet could never
reach zero.

The three suites that mocked child_process directly now mock runProcess,
which is the point: how a process gets started is no longer each
module's business. Ratchet 173 -> 170.

* fix(process): do not report a deliberately killed child as timed out

runProcessSync inferred a timeout from signal === 'SIGTERM'. Measured:
a real timeout sets error.code ETIMEDOUT and kills with SIGTERM, but so
does anything else that terminates the child -- and those cases set no
error at all. Reading the signal alone reports a process someone stopped
on purpose as having timed out, which callers retry.

* refactor(process): hold the ratchet as data and migrate the pwsh probes

The allowlist and the adversarial argument corpus are read only by tests,
so they were production modules in name only; they move to __fixtures__.

pwsh.ts carried isTimeoutError() purely to reconcile two spellings of the
same event -- execFileSync reports a timeout as ETIMEDOUT, the execFile
callback as a SIGTERM kill with no code. runProcess reports one timedOut
flag, so the helper and the reasoning behind it both go.

Its sync probe also spawned without windowsHide, which flashes a console
and steals foreground on every cold cache read.

* refactor(process): migrate five more spawn sites onto the chokepoint

Each one deletes a hand-rolled promise/timeout/kill wrapper and stops
re-deciding console visibility for itself. Ratchet 170 -> 164.

Two things this surfaced, both kept:

runProcess now accepts string chunks as well as buffers. A stream someone
called setEncoding on emits strings, and concatenating those as buffers
throws inside a data handler -- where the rejection has nowhere to go and
the caller simply hangs rather than failing.

ProcessSpec keeps its AbortSignal. I had removed it as unused; the macOS
PAM preflight passes one through from its own caller.

ipc/app.ts is deliberately NOT migrated. Its probe spawns a three-stage
 pipeline detached so a timeout can reap the group with one
negative-pid SIGKILL; runProcess kills only the root, which would orphan
the plutil stages. Migrating it needs the chokepoint to own POSIX
process-group termination first -- the same guarantee job objects give on
Windows. Reverted and left on the ratchet.

* test(process): do not assert a POSIX signal on Windows

Windows has no signals, so the same deliberate kill reports an exit code
there and a signal on POSIX. What has to hold on both is that neither
shape reads as a timeout. Caught by running the suite on Windows.

(cherry picked from commit 0a6e9902a22a369a0e85e113ea8d87b726f82e1f)

* fix(process): settle a timed-out run even when the child ignores the kill

close only fires once the child is actually gone, so a child that traps
SIGTERM never emits it and the promise outlives its own deadline
forever. That is the same wedge shape just fixed for the process table,
and it is worse here: pwsh.ts and the snapshot reader both cache an
in-flight probe, so one unkillable child hands every later caller the
same dead promise.

After the deadline it now escalates to SIGKILL and settles regardless,
reporting timedOut with whatever output arrived.

(cherry picked from commit 78ac169197c4e6faee1b9310a7186029cc11acbc)

* fix(process): escalate an aborted child too, not just a timed-out one

The grace escalation I added covered the timeout path and left abort on
the old one, so an aborted caller with an unkillable child still waited
forever -- the same defect, one path over. The macOS PAM preflight is a
real caller that passes an AbortSignal.

Both paths now share one stop-and-settle, and the result reports
timedOut honestly: false when the caller aborted.

(cherry picked from commit 7e9523a9e31172bb8183661b56f04c3ab6a03d0d)

* fix(windows): stop percent escaping from forging an escaped quote

escapePercentForCmd ran as a post-pass over the quoted string, so it
inserted a quote wherever a percent was -- including straight after a
backslash. CommandLineToArgvW reads backslash-quote as an escaped quote,
so C:\Users\%USERNAME%\x arrived corrupted. That is about as common as
Windows paths get, and my 20-case corpus had no backslash-before-percent
entry to catch it.

Percent handling is now part of the quoting loop, where the backslash
run is known and can be doubled before the inserted quote. Two corpus
cases cover the shape.

The program path gets the same treatment. It was quoted but not
percent-escaped, so a launcher under C:\Users\%USERNAME%\ had its own
path expanded on the cmd hop.

quoteWindowsArgument no longer takes a boolean. Passing it to
values.map() handed map's index in as the flag -- which is how the first
version of this fix was written, and the corpus test caught it.

Separately: an AbortSignal that was already aborted never fires the
event, so runProcess ran the child to its full timeout for a caller who
had already given up.

Neil a61b39a9a6 fix(runtime): stamp a runtime's own project setups as local, and report remote status about the remote (STA-4792) (#15376)
* fix(runtime): stamp a runtime's own project setups as local, and report remote status about the remote (STA-4792)

Two independent frame-of-reference bugs, both from code describing one machine
while labelled as another.

#15366 — projectHostSetup.* persisted the caller's host id verbatim. Those
`runtime:<environment-id>` ids are minted by the calling client's own pairing
store, so they name a machine only relative to that client. A client sending
one is addressing this runtime, and runtimes do not proxy these calls onward,
so the host it names is us. Storing the client's spelling made one machine look
like a different host to every other client, hid its rows from them, and
defeated the (projectId, hostId) duplicate check — two laptops paired to one
server each created their own setup for the same checkout. Re-spell it as
`local` at the RPC boundary. Rows written earlier keep their old stamp; readers
already project `local` back to `runtime:<their-id>`, so the client-visible
model is unchanged and no ids are rewritten.

STA-4792 defect 4 — `status --environment <name>` hardcoded app.running:false
to mean "no desktop on THIS machine" while every other field in the same object
described the target, including a desktopWindowStatus echoed straight from it.
The result contradicted itself and read as "that run was headless" when the
remote GUI was up. `app` now describes the target, keyed off the one window
status that requires a live renderer, and the result names its own subject so
the frame can't be misread again. The remote pid is not knowable, so it stays
null.

STA-4792 defect 2 gets a regression test rather than a fix: routing already
made the client remote, which is what stops a Windows destination being joined
to the local cwd. The test pins the exact reported invocation.

* fix(status): share the remote app projection with the SSH host passthrough, and name the version gap on project host setup

Two review follow-ups.

The SSH host passthrough answered `app.running: true` unconditionally for the
Orca host a caller reached over SSH, claiming a desktop app even for a headless
`serve`. That is the same defect as the paired-server path, one transport over,
so the projection moved to shared and both now answer the question the same way.

`--host runtime:<id>` routes project commands to a paired server, which means a
client can reach a server that predates project host setup without meaning to.
That answered a raw `method_not_found`, which reads as an Orca bug rather than a
version gap; the CLI now names it the way the desktop already does.

Reverted a third change: making the persistence duplicate check treat `local`
and `runtime:*` as one machine. That assumption holds at the RPC boundary, where
a `runtime:` host means the runtime being addressed, but not in the store, which
also records independent provisioning metadata for machines that are not itself.
An existing test covers exactly that, and it was right. The duplicate
convergence therefore stays bounded to rows written after the normalization.

OrcaWinandOrcaWin 3a9f40ed70 fix(wsl): read machine output from a fenced login shell (#15290)
* fix(wsl): read machine output from a fenced login shell

Orca runs WSL reads through the distro's *interactive* login shell so
PATH matches the user's own terminal (nvm, mise and asdf only install
into rc files interactive shells read). An interactive shell also runs
the distro's rc/motd, and stock Ubuntu 24.04 writes its "run a command
as administrator" hint to stdout -- no user customization required.

Every caller parsing that stream was reading the banner as data:

  statPath  -> "To run a command as administrator...\n\ndirectory"
  readPath  -> banner prepended to the contents of every file read
  preflight -> banner prepended to `gh --version` / auth output

`.trim()` cannot recover any of these, so a WSL worktree's file
explorer sees no valid entry types and file reads return junk.

Three call sites had independently grown their own marker to survive
this (`__ORCA_AGENT_PATH__`, `ORCA_WSL_GIT_READ_ENV_V1`, and a
`>/dev/null` fd dance), which is the tell that it belongs in one place.

Fence the payload once, in the shared builder, and hand callers a
reader that returns just their bytes. The fence carries a per-call
nonce so `cat`-ing a file that happens to quote a marker is not
truncated. Exit status is preserved, so the ENOENT mapping still works.

wsl-git-read-environment drops its bespoke marker and parsing.

* test(wsl): fence the login-shell path-lookup boundary test

It asserted a raw interactive login-shell read matched an absolute path,
so the distro rc banner made it fail on any stock Ubuntu. It is part of
the shell-contracts CI gate, where it skips on Linux and hid the break.

* docs(wsl): record the guest command-execution contract

Both failure modes are silent - the command runs, exits 0, and returns
the wrong bytes - so the rules need to live somewhere a reader will
find them before writing the next wsl.exe call site.

* fix(codex): fence the WSL Codex identity probe

buildWslCodexBinaryStamp reads the login shell's stdout positionally --
path before the first newline, version after -- through an interactive
login shell. On a stock Ubuntu the rc banner lands ahead of the payload,
so the first newline falls inside the banner and the stamp becomes
path="To run a command as administrator..." with the rest as version.
Both halves are non-empty, so nothing throws: the stamp is silently
wrong, and an unstable stamp reads as "the Codex binary changed" and
reissues the trust grant.

The identity script ends in `exec`, so it never writes a closing fence;
the reader returns everything after the opening one, which is exactly
this case.

buildWslCodexIdentityArgs becomes buildWslCodexIdentityProbe and returns
the reader with the argv so the two cannot drift apart. The other three
WSL Codex commands are deliberately left unfenced: availability is
exit-code only, and app-server/login hand stdout to a long-running
program.

* fix(wsl): harden the capture fence after review

- readStdout now takes the LAST opening fence, matching the lastIndexOf
  the wsl-git-read-environment marker used deliberately: a login shell
  can echo the command text before running it, repeating the fence.
- local-worktree-filesystem throws instead of falling back to raw stdout
  when the fence is missing. The fallback silently reinstated the bug
  being fixed -- statPath would return the banner as a file type and
  readPath would return banner+contents, with no signal. Preflight keeps
  its fallback; its matchers scan the whole blob and tolerate a prefix.
- The exit-status test asserted only that the script CONTAINS `exit $?`,
  which is true for any input and never executed those lines. It now
  runs a real distro and asserts status 2 reaches the caller, which is
  what statPath's ENOENT mapping depends on.
- Corrected the doc: a sed backreference has no `$`, so `--` never
  rewrote it. Replaced with the positional and shell-local cases that
  were measured to differ.

* fix(wsl): stop running a login shell for filesystem reads

statPath/readPath/rm run coreutils at standard paths and shell builtins.
They need nothing from the user's PATH, so there was never a reason to
start a login shell -- and starting one is what put the distro's rc/motd
on the stdout these callers parse.

Fencing that output treated the symptom. Using a plain `sh -c` removes
the cause: no profile, no rc, no banner, by construction. The fence and
its missing-fence error go away with it.

The fence stays where it is actually needed: the three places that must
run the user's shell to resolve their PATH (the preflight CLI probe, the
WSL git environment probe, and the Codex identity probe).

Net -12 lines.
