* feat(wsl-host): a paired phone reaches the desktop's WSL host and never starts its distro (E6)
Behind ORCA_INTERNAL_WSL_HOSTS and the Experimental switch. The desktop relay
lists its WSL hosts to phones. Every relayed call (resolve, call, watchChanges,
status.get) passes a never-start check, and a WSL host serves a phone only
while it already runs.
- WslHostPhoneGate holds the phone's view. The call check reuses E9's
focusReachability, so with no bridge in this process it refuses without a
running-list read. A host shows as "stopped" only on a confirmed stop
(liveness's distro-stopped, or a running list read by the check); anything
else gets a neutral "isn't available" message. Hosts are hidden from phones
while the Experimental switch is off or a Remove is pending.
- The relay host list sends optional `stoppedOnDesktop` only for a confirmed
stop. The phone badges those rows "Start on computer"; older peers ignore
the field.
- The paired-server rows producer carries WSL hosts like any server, so the
main-computed sidebar feed a phone reads has their rows.
- The paired-phone e2e drives a WSL host project end to end and asserts a
stopped distro is never started.
* fix(wsl-host): keep the phone's no-start check off non-WSL servers, and a stale stop off a ready host
- status.get runs the no-start check only for a WSL host, through a
check-only helper. SSH-managed and paired servers reach the status owner
exactly as on main: no reconnect, no redeploy, and the manual-disconnect,
coalescing and repair handling stay in place. The preparation option is
stripped before the probe.
- WslHostPhoneGate drops a 'stopped' read when a ready status arrived while it
ran (a per-host ready generation), and clears a recorded stop when a check
finds the host answering.
- A phone asking about a host that is switched off or being removed gets copy
that says so, not "open one of its projects".
* test(wsl-host): the real no-start helper leaves SSH-managed and paired servers untouched
* fix(wsl-host): tie a phone's confirmed WSL stop to that host's status, and label a host not connected
- A stop a phone's check confirmed is stored with that host's own status
object and holds only while that status is current. Another host's change no
longer clears it. Any status of its own (ready, a disable's closed, a failed
Remove's closed) does. A read never records a stop over a ready status, so a
read shared with one begun before ready can't. Removed hosts drop their
entry. The generation map and status listener are gone.
- The relay sends optional `unavailableOnDesktop` for a WSL host this desktop
isn't connected to and doesn't know is stopped. New phones badge it "Open on
computer"; older ones still show Connecting.
- The relay list reads the WSL host records once per poll (reachAll).
* refactor(wsl-host): one records read per phone check; note the gate's status identity compare
* test(wsl-host): read the phone's host flags as booleans in the paired-phone e2e
toMatchObject({ stoppedOnDesktop: undefined }) requires the key to be
present, and the desktop omits an unset flag, so the ready poll could never
match. The poll now compares relay plus both flags read as booleans.
* test(wsl-host): expect the neutral refusal once main's fake drops a stopped distro's bridge as closed
Main's fake connector (#34573) now publishes 'closed' when a stopped distro's
bridge drops, not liveness's 'distro-stopped'. So the phone's check reads the
stop under a ready status and doesn't claim it. The phone gets the neutral
copy and unavailableOnDesktop; the confirmed-stop copy stays unit-tested.
* test(wsl-host): the paired-phone e2e expects the confirmed stop again, and checks nothing booted the distro
Main's fake now publishes 'distro-stopped' when it drops a stopped distro's
bridge (#34624), as liveness does, so the phone gets "isn't running" and
stoppedOnDesktop. The spec also checks distros.json still reads 'stopped' at
the end: the fake boots a distro by rewriting it.
* test(wsl-host): the startup reconcile suite stubs the phone gate built beside the service
The reconcile still runs before the connector exists; the suite only lacked the new
setWslHostPhoneGate export on its service-instance mock.
