A remote (relay/shared-control) desktop viewer resizes the host source PTY to
its own width, but was never registered as a width owner. So the host's own fit
cascade (window resize, split drag, tab reveal, "+"-new-tab re-render) freely
resized the viewed PTY back to the host-local width with no signal to the
viewer. The viewer kept its narrower grid while the host streamed wider
alt-screen frames -> cell-layout garble ("porridge") until a manual resize.
The mobile "presence lock" already solves this shape for phones by suppressing
the host's pty:resize while the phone drives. This does the same for remote
desktop viewers WITHOUT joining the mobile driver state machine (a viewer needs
only resize suppression, not input lock / phone-fit / driver banners), and it
routes every PTY geometry change through the existing enqueueLayout/applyLayout
serialization path rather than resizing the PTY ad hoc.
Design:
- Registry `remoteDesktopViewers: Map<ptyId, Map<subscriptionKey, viewport>>`,
keyed per SUBSCRIPTION so duplicate streams of one client cannot release each
other. isPtyResizeDrivenRemotely() = mobile driver OR any viewer present;
pty:resize (host fit cascade) bails on it. INPUT is never locked (shared
control: host and viewers can both type), unlike mobile.
- New internal layout target { kind: 'remote-desktop' } in applyLayout: clears
terminalFitOverrides like 'desktop', resizes only when dims changed, emits no
fit-override notifications, and does not call onExternalPtyResize (so a
viewer's width never pollutes desktop restore state). enqueueLayout remains
the sole serialized writer of PTY dimensions.
- Smallest client wins: applyRemoteDesktopLayout() sizes the PTY to the SMALLEST
attached viewer, so viewers with different screen sizes never overflow the
narrowest grid.
- No snapshot/replay race: a viewport that arrives while the initial scrollback
snapshot is being serialized is buffered and applied as ONE serialized resize
before serialization, so a mid-repaint alt screen is never baked into the
snapshot.
- Reclaim on detach: when the last viewer leaves, applyRemoteDesktopLayout
resizes the PTY back to the host's own width via enqueueLayout({kind:'desktop'}),
so the host reflows to full width without a manual window jiggle. The host
width is captured at the pty:resize suppression point (the host's own resize
attempts) — a source a remote viewport never pollutes.
- Mobile coexistence: a phone outranks a viewer; when the phone leaves, the
mobile-release paths call applyRemoteDesktopLayout so a surviving viewer keeps
the PTY, else the host reclaims.
Verified live (two local desktop instances): correct render on connect, no
garble on viewer-window resize (synchronous), and host reclaims full width on
disconnect. Unit tests cover the registry lifecycle, smallest-client-wins,
reclaim-via-layout, and mobile coexistence.
